ILEA-Roswell to become top cop shop

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer The International Law Enforcement Academy-Roswell will become an even more prestigious training center for top-level law enforcement officials from around the world, an official of the U.S. Department of State told the Daily Record Thursday.

The State Department said there will be no disruption in courses as ILEA-Roswell transitions this year into a “policy facility” for the highest-level law enforcement officials from around the world.

“It’s certainly not a scenario where we have good news and bad news,” said the State Department official, who requested anonymity. “It’s all good news.

We’re excited about the

change and we’re already working with the federal law enforcement agencies, and they’re excited about it as well. It’s something that’s going to be a good change for the better.”

The transition is spurred by the scheduled end of a contract with BlueLaw International that expires at the end of May, said the State Department official.

BlueLaw International, based in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a “small international consulting firm dedicated to the establishment of the rule of law, democracy and governance, security sector reform and human rights in developing countries around the world,” according to its website.

Myron Golden, the current ILEA-Roswell program

director and executive staff member of BlueLaw International, will not continue to head ILEA-Roswell after the expiration of the BlueLaw International contract, said the State Department official, emphasizing the change in leadership was no reflection on Golden.

“He’s been great,” the State Department official said. “He’s been really helpful in managing the transition. It’s not at all because we’re unhappy with anything about ILEA-Roswell or how the program’s been running. It’s just time to sort of fold this into a normal operation for us. That’s why we’re making these changes now.”

take off to next stage

By Jeff Jackson Record City Editor With their prep work in Roswell complete, a group of fighter-pilot trainees has taken off to its next destination.

The third of three squadrons under the Training Air Wing 5 program based at the Roswell International Air Center left town Saturday after spending three weeks of localized training in the first of four phases before earning wings as combat-ready pilots. Two other squadrons trained at RIAC and Avflight starting Jan.12, with about 400 total pilot trainees and instructors spread out among the Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

After the primary-level training in Roswell where

Police release name of motorcyclist killed in Friday’s collision Staff Report Police have released the name of a motorcyclist who was killed Friday in a violent crash at North Main and 19th streets.

Anthony Murillo, 31, of Roswell, died in a collision with an automobile around 3:05 p.m.

He was not wearing a helmet, said Todd Wildermuth, a spokesman for the Roswell Police Department.

Wildermuth said he did not know the name of the 78-year-old man driving the car, who was not injured.

IRS warns to choose tax professionals carefully

The IRS urges taxpayers to choose their tax professional carefully as reports are coming in from around the country describing unscrupulous preparers who instruct their clients to make individual shared responsibility payments directly to the preparer.

The IRS reminds individ-

uals who owe the payment that it should be made only with their tax return or in response to a letter from the IRS. The payment should never be made directly to an individual or return preparer. Most people don’t owe the payment See IRS, Page A3 Today’s Forecast

each pilot flew a T-6B-II Texan plane, the pilots’ next level is advanced training at which they select the type of aircraft they want to operate, said Marine Lt. Col. Peter Blades.

“They’re going to select something that has a propeller, jets, helios (helicopters) or now tilt-rotors if you’re a Marine for the V-22,” Blades said. “Once they select that they’re going to go on to whatever the next training of aircraft is. For propellers it’s C-12, for helicopters it’s the TH-57, for jets it’s T-45 and for tilt-rotors it’s helicopters and planes, you fly them both. That’s advanced flight training.”

The Space Foundation selects Bohlin as teacher liaison

By Katy Ross Record Correspondent Margaret “Peggy” Bohlin, a teacher for the Roswell Independent School District, has been chosen to be a part of the Teacher Liaison program through the Space Foundation.

She currently teaches gifted students at both Missouri Avenue Elementary School and Valley View Elementary School. She has taught for the RISD for 27 years.

She is part of an elite program that includes more than 150 teachers from 33 states, Australia and India.

Teacher liaisons are “extraordinary educators who use space-related education programs and principles in the classroom to act as advocates for space-based education in their schools and districts,” according to the Space Foundation. Bohlin’s job is to be the active link between The Space Foundation and the aerospace community, and the dis-

Bohlin, along with the other educators who were chosen, will be honored at the 31st Space Symposium on April 13-16 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the global headquarters of the Space Foundation. Founded in 1983, the Space Foundation is the foremost advocate for all sectors of space, and is a global, nonprofit leader in space awareness activities, educational programs and major industry events.

“This event is the largest gathering of space professionals in the world,” Bohlin says. “There are over 9,000 space professionals that attend this event.”

Bohlin states that many

astronauts and space professionals, including Bill Nye the Science Guy, have attended this event in past years.

Bohlin knows how much of an honor this is, not only for her, but for Roswell and Chaves County because they are both being represented. She is enthusiastic about the Teacher Liaison Selection Committee’s decision to pick her.

“I am extremely excit-

ed, because what are the chances that little ol’ me from Roswell, New Mexico, got chosen for this.”

Bohlin recalls that becoming a teacher liaision was a “huge process.”

“I had to fill out an extensive application, create a very detailed space-related lesson plan, and get a letter of recommendation from one of my schools’ principals.”

Bohlin said she applied because she knew that as a teacher liaision she would gain more knowledge about space and learn how to share that knowledge more effectively with the community and schools.

“I wanted to apply because it would give me more knowledge of space, of science-based curriculum and ideas, and I felt that I would do a good job as a teacher liaison. I have a lot of experience and background in space edu-

SANTA FE (AP) — Longtime Sen. Phil Griego resigned from the New Mexico Senate on Saturday amid a growing controversy involving his role in the sale of a stateowned building.

The Democratic senator handed in his letter of resignation to Secretary of State Dianna Duran’s office as well as the chief clerk of the Senate. In the letter, Griego said his resignation was effective immediately and came with a “heavy heart.” However, he did not address the controversy directly.

Griego said this course of action was necessary

His resignation letter was read by the chief clerk on the Senate floor Saturday afternoon without comment.

sonal with their aircraft, and the final stage is aircraft carrier duty.

“That’s the first time you’re gonna fly the aircraft that you picked after primary,” Blades said of the advanced training phase. “Let’s say I select jets. I know my next training aircraft is going to be a T-45. How you do flying the T-45 at advanced flight training is going to determine whether you get F18s, E6s, whatever is in the jet category. So let’s say I select helicopters. I’m gonna go to the other side of my airfield, I’m gonna fly TH-57s and then from there … you go to this FRS, and then you go to what we call the Fleet and that’s where you show up in a squadron and go and do the nation’s work. It is three levels from here.”

A quick-learning pilot trainee can fly through the process in two years, Blades said, but in most cases there are issues that cloud their development.

“If you were to not have any delays, two years is a good number.

You can go from ‘I don’t know how to fly’ to landing on an aircraft carrier in two years,” he said.

But all entry-level trainees learn on the same type of plane, he emphasized, of which there are 25 in Wing 5’s fleet. The training flights range from the RIAC to Cavern City Air Terminal in Carlsbad to the south and to Sierra Blanca to the west and stay below 18,000 feet.

cation.”

Bohlin has participated in space-themed programs in the past, including the Honeywell Teacher Space Academy located in Huntsville, Alabama.

“I was one of 300 teachers chosen worldwide to do the Teacher Space Academy. It was one of the best teacher trainings I have ever received — it was phenomenal!”

She also was able to attend the Lift-Off Summer Institute last July in Houston; she was the first New Mexican to be chosen for that program. She also went to the Space Exploration Educator’s Conference twice.

Bohlin has been active in other space and science-related activities. She taught at Shuttle Camp in Alamogordo during the summer for about five years. She is currently the president of the Roswell Astronomy Club and has been the director of Camp Invention in Roswell for several years.

Bohlin says one of the events at the Space Symposium she wants to

Yes, there is a connection to “Top Gun.” ”Everyone training with the Naval program trains on the same aircraft, the T-6B-II Texan. And why is that?” Blades said. “Because T-6 used to be what my grandfather flew in naval aviation. This is the second variant, and the Bravo, there is alpha that the Air Force and some of our guys fly, naval flight instructors more like the Goose in ‘Top Gun,’ the guys in back, they fly the alpha, they navigate in the alpha. But this is, to simplify it, everyone flies that aircraft out here. ... Our mission is to get primary-student naval aviators through primary flight training because the weather, historically, is better than the weather at Whiting Field (near Pensacola, Florida).”

In addition to the 400-somestrong personnel who come here under the Training Air Wing 5 — which Blades calls a “parent unit” — there are other related units flying in and out of the RIAC. A five-man Marine Reserve unit, for example, comes in once a week during Wing 5 training and leaves with five other reservists.

“They fly something called a UC-35. We call it the Barbie jet because it’s so beautiful. They are a logistical support for naval training operations. They have a lot to do with our training success out here by continuing the lifeblood of bringing people in and out. But they don’t train or anything. They are basically our own private airline.

They do training flights that just happen to go through Pensacola and

“It’s called Yuri’s Night.

The main guest speaker is Buzz Aldrin, along with four other astronauts.”

Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon.

Monday includes workshops the teacher liaisons will attend followed by a recognition reception.

Tuesday and Wednesday offer sessions and tours the teacher liaisons can join. Thursday includes both a space tech induction ceremony and a teacher liaison connections meeting.

Bohlin says that she teaches space in her classrooms and, once her training is complete, she plans to broaden space-related education to the community and schools.

come out here and back to Pensacola so it’s a win-win. They have to fly, they have empty seats, we fill them with students,” Blades said.

Because Roswell is an ideal location for its purpose, Training Air Wing 5 would like to return in 10 months for a third year at RIAC, but that decision lies with higher command in the Defense Department, Blades said.

“This is an ex-B-52 base. Runways are huge,” Blades said. “And B-52s are about the biggest aircraft we fly. We still fly them but they’re not here obviously. The runways are super long. The weather is great.

This has the perfect combination of support from the community. Honestly a lot of places we go we’re not welcome. They don’t want our noise.

Here we rarely if ever get noise complaints. The infrastructure here in Roswell from the mayor to the chief of police to hotels to the rent-a-car place, they all want us to be here and that was the accomplishment the first year we were here. The base is perfect for our purposes and also there’s a lot to be gained from just going on to detachments — this isn’t a deployment this is a detachment — so there’s a camaraderie that builds when you go somewhere where you don’t have your wife or husband around and you only have your squadron mates. It’s like a teamwork, a bonding, and it’s an experience they’re gonna remember for the rest of their lives.”

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

Bohlin is thankful that she has the support from her schools and hopes that she gets full support from the district.

“I have great confidence that the district will recognize and validate the tremendous opportunity that this will bring to the Roswell school district and the greater community,” Bohlin says.

Bohlin, born in Wisconsin, says her love for space grew as she got older. “[Space] grew on me. As a child, I had a telescope,” Bohlin recalls, “and I’ve always been interested in space travel and astronauts, looking out at the stars and seeing constellations. It grew on me more and more [and] it’s become a passion.”

She feels like being a teacher liaison is what she needs, as well.

“To me, this is what I’ve been missing. I have this knowledge.

at all because they have health coverage or qualify for a coverage exemption.

The IRS has received several reports of this kind of unscrupulous activity. In some cases, return preparers have told taxpayers to make the payment directly to them, even though the taxpayer had Medicaid or other health coverage and doesn’t need to make the shared responsibility payment at all. In some parts of the country, unscrupulous return preparers are targeting taxpayers with limited English proficiency and, in particular, those who primarily speak Spanish.

These preparers are asking for direct payment to them, but their reasons vary. Methods include: • Telling individuals that they must make an individual shared responsibility payment directly to the preparer because of their immigration status.

• Promising to lower the payment amount if the client pays it directly to the preparer.

• Demanding money from individuals who are exempt from the individual shared responsibility payment.

If you believe you have been targeted by an unscrupulous preparer or you have been financially affected by a tax return preparer’s misconduct or improper tax preparation practices, you can report it to the IRS on Form 14157, Complaint: Tax Return Preparer (irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ f14157.pdf).

Choose a tax preparer carefully

The vast majority of tax professionals provide honest, high-quality service.

However, the IRS encourages taxpayers to avoid dishonest and unscrupulous preparers by choosing their preparer wisely. To help, the IRS offers a new,

A3

online, searchable public directory of tax preparers (irs.treasury.gov/rpo/rpo. jsf) who currently hold professional credentials recognized by the IRS or certain other qualifications.

For information on choosing a preparer, filing a complaint about an unscrupulous preparer, or using the new directory, see our Choosing a Tax Professional (irs.gov/ Tax-Professionals/Choosing-a-Tax-Professional) page on IRS.gov.

Tips about individual Shared Responsibility Payments

• Payments are not required for individuals who had coverage or qualify for an exemption for each month of the year.

• Individuals who are not U.S. citizens or nationals, and are not lawfully present in the United States, are exempt from the individual shared responsibility provision and do not need to make a payment. For this purpose, an immigrant with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status is considered not lawfully present and therefore is exempt. An individual may qualify for this exemption even if he or she has a social security number.

• Taxpayers either pay the shared responsibility payment with their tax return or in response to a letter from the IRS requesting payment. They should not make the payment directly to any individual or return preparer. If a shared responsibility payment is due, taxpayers should pay it to the United States Treasury. In most cases, the shared responsibility payment reduces a taxpayer’s refund. If there is no refund, the payment will increase the amount a taxpayer owes on the tax return.

Opinion I

Roswell Daily Record

Learning about community through Leadership Roswell I got to shoot high-powered, military-style weapons while on the clock Friday. It’s amazing the different things a newspaper editor gets to do on the job.

No, I wasn’t firing off weapons here at the office or anywhere else in the city limits. I was touring the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center with Leadership Roswell, where each member of the class got to shoot guns in one of FLETC’s firing ranges under the close supervision of the center’s firearms instructors.

There are about 30 people in the class from all walks. There’s me, the newspaper editor, a man who owns a document shredding and storage business, aka “The Shredman,” a handful of city and county employees, two staffers from New Mexico Military Institute, a couple of office managers, a few nonprofit employees, an IT guy for a local bank, a certified public accountant and a plumbing technician. So as you can see, we are quite a diverse group.

What we have in common is our interest in learning about the Roswell community and how to become better communicators and leaders. The program is sponsored by the Roswell Chamber of Com-

Timothy Howsare Ripcord into Reality merce and it is the longest-running program of its kind in New Mexico.

On the second Friday of every month since September, all of us have spent an entire work day away from our jobs learning firsthand about local government, law enforcement, industry and health care.

Along with those monthly day trips inside the city or county, in early February, our group spent two days in Santa Fe visiting the Roundhouse. We heard from officials in the judiciary, legislature and executive branch, including Gov. Susana Martinez.

This past Friday, we were the honored guests of FLETC. I use the word honored because FLETC gives out very few tours. Leadership Roswell and Leadership New Mexico are the only two groups that tour the sprawling training center that

was once a community college campus.

Our day at FLETC began in the auditorium with an introduction and PowerPoint presentation, led by site director and Roswell native Terry Todd. After a bus tour of the main campus, we traveled about four miles west to FLETC’s Range Complex.

Of FLETC’s five training centers in the United States, only the Artesia site has such an expansive complex with indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, a pursuit-vehicle driving course, an off-road driving course and even three grounded 727s that are used to train U.S. air marshals, flight deck officers and commercial on how to respond in the event of a hijacking.

I’m trying to be respectful in this column by not giving away any “top-secret cop stuff” (and I don’t want two very large men in black suits showing up at my front door), but the Range Complex can be seen from U.S. Highway 82 as one drives west toward Cloudcroft.

And the FLETC website will tell you quite a bit about each site and the various training programs.

With 1,340 acres, the Artesia site is enormous when compared to some of the sites back East that

are in more urban areas where outdoor shooting ranges would be out of the question.

On the pursuit-vehicle driving course, each instructor took two members of the group for a ride on the track as if he was on a highspeed chase. I was sitting in the front seat and the fastest speed I saw on the speedometer was 70.

You could only go so fast because there were so many turns. The emphasis was on steering and breaking. I think I got a few pointers I can use on my next road trip through the mountains.

On the off-road course, each driving instructor carefully guided a four-wheel drive Chevy Tahoe up and down man-made hills and other treacherous terrain that one might find in the desert or a mountainous region. The off-road training is mostly for the U.S. Border Patrol, who do their own training at the FLETC site.

The instructor in my vehicle said he tells his students this is the easiest off-road course you will drive on. Once you graduate and become a real agent, the back roads don’t have orange cones and there’s no one around to pull your vehicle out if you get stuck. You might as well get a job in public transportation.

Another fun part of Friday’s tour was seeing all the different gyms and weight rooms the center has for physical training. Picture the largest fitness center you’ve ever been inside, like LA Fitness, and multiply that by three.

The gym facilities and fitness programs were much smaller before 9/11 and then ramped up after the terrorists attacks, we were told.

Our day at FLETC ended shortly after 4 p.m. And then we headed back to Roswell.

Leadership Roswell 2015 has two more programs coming up before our graduation in May. In April we will travel to some of the agriculture centers in Chaves County and in May the focus will be local manufacturing.

I want to thank the newspaper’s publisher, Charles Fischer, for allowing me to take one day off each month to attend these classes. As the local newspaper, I have learned a lot about the community I otherwise would have never found out about sitting at my desk.

If you have the opportunity, please consider joining one of the upcoming classes. It’s a unique and fun way to learn about our vibrant community.

Editorial

Any Iran deal needs Senate ratification The enterprising journos at Talking Points Memo “reached out” Tuesday to as-yet undeclared Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Scott Walker to ask their respective stances on the open letter Senate Republicans on Monday addressed to the “Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

The letter advised the Iranian government that, while President Obama has the constitutional authority to negotiate international agreements, “Congress plays the significant role of ratifying them.” Or, to put it another way, “Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement.”

Mssrs. Bush and Walker simply could have ignored TPM’s inquiry and avoided being branded by Obama supporters as “traitors” — as were the 47 Senate Republicans who signed the letter.

But the two GOP presidential hopefuls stood with Senate Republicans.

“Republicans need to ensure that any deal President Obama reaches with Iran receives congressional review,” said Mr. Walker. Republicans would not have been compelled to write the Iran letter, said Mr. Bush, “had the administration consulted regularly with them rather than ignoring their input.”

Indeed, Mr. Obama has adopted the imperious position that he can cut deals with foreign governments without Congress’ assent.

That includes the climate-change agreement with China announced in November. There also was the agreement with Cuba announced in December to normalize relations between the United States and the communist government of Raul Castro.

Now Mr. Obama is on the verge of an agreement with the mullahs in Tehran, which calls for Iran to delay its nuclear weapons program for 10 years in exchange for U.S. agreement to lift economic sanctions against the regime.

We continue to have misgivings about Mr. Obama’s unilateral agreements with Beijing and Havana. But they pale in comparison with our concerns about the president’s pending agreement with Iran, which could enable the Islamic Republic to develop nuclear weapons that pose a threat to the U.S. and its Middle East allies.

An international pact of this gravity — which the White House considers the most important foreign policy deal of Mr. Obama’s presidency, the New York Times reported in October — rises to the level that a mere executive order is grossly insufficient. Nothing less than congressional ratification will do.

However, the Times reported last fall that the White House “has made one significant decision: If agreement is reached, President Obama will do everything in his power to avoid letting Congress vote on it.”

In other words, the president is so determined to make a deal with Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, that he thinks nothing of subverting the Constitution’s Treaty Clause. It provides that the president “shall have Power, by See EDITORIAL, Page A5

What is considered fair among the rich Donald Trump’s kids and Paris Hilton’s siblings were born rich. That gave them a big advantage in life. Unfair!

Inequality in wealth has grown. Today the richest 1 percent of Americans own a third of the assets. That’s not fair!

But wherever people are free, that’s what happens.

Some people are luckier, smarter or just better at making money. Often they marry other wealthy, well-connected people.

Over time, these advantages compound. Globalization increases the effect. This month’s issue of Forbes says the world now has 1,826 billionaires, and some struggle

President Obama calls inequality “the defining issue of our time.” Really?

Not our unsustainable debt?

Not ISIS? The president also said, “No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change!”

Politicians constantly find crises they will solve

by increasing government power. But why is inequality a crisis?

Alexis Goldstein, of a group called The Other 98 percent, complains that corporations got richer but workers’ wages “are lower than they’ve been in 65 years.”

That’s a common refrain, but it’s wrong. Over the past 30 years, CBO data shows that the average income of the poorest fifth of Americans is up by 49 percent.

That doesn’t include all the innovations that have dramatically improved everyone’s life. Today even the p o orest A meric an s h a ve comforts and lifespans that

kings didn’t have a century ago.

George Mason University economist Garett Jones says, “If I was going to be in the bottom fifth in the America of today versus the bottom fifth of America in 1970 or 1960, it’s hard to imagine that anybody would take that time machine into the past.”

And despite America’s lousy government schools and regulations that make it tough to start a business, there is still economic mobility. Poor people don’t have to stay poor. Sixty-four percent of those born in the poorest fifth of the U.S. population See STOSSEL, Page A5

Use consequences and privileges to discipline older kids DEAR DOCTOR K: I have two children in elementary school. When they were younger, I disciplined them with timeouts. How should discipline change as they get older?

DEAR READER: Discipline is important for children of all ages. But you’re right: The style of encouraging discipline changes somewhat as children get older.

At whatever age, the goal is not to punish, but rather to teach self-control and the difference between acceptable (right) and unacceptable (wrong) behaviors.

In answering questions about kids, I rely a lot on the advice of pediatrician colleagues here at Harvard Medical School. They describe a variety of ways to discipline a

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate school-aged child: • Take advantage of natural consequences. Your child can learn by seeing the natural consequences of his actions. For example, if he breaks a toy in anger, point out that he will no longer be able to play with it.

• Use logical consequences. Some behaviors have no immediate consequences. In these cases, determine consequences that are logically

related to the misbehavior.

For example, tell your child that if he does not pick up his toys before bed, then he will not be allowed to play with them for one whole day.

• Delay a privilege. If your child is refusing to complete a task, tell him that he cannot do something else he enjoys until after he finishes.

• Use “I” messages. Tell your child how you feel when he misbehaves. Start your sentences with “I.” For example, “I get upset when you throw the ball in the house.”

Your child is more likely to get defensive with messages that start with “you,” such as, “You upset me when you throw the ball.”

• Discuss, don’t demand.

As your children get older, give them a chance to help

find solutions to problems.

For example, “You are always tired in the morning, and late getting out of the house.

What can we do to change this?”

• Express your disapproval. Look your child straight in the eyes and say, “No” or “Stop.” Tell him what he should not do and why he should not do it. In many cases, this is all that is necessary to stop an unacceptable behavior.

• Give timeouts. Even though we think of using them with toddlers, timeouts may be useful occasionally for older children. It can give them more focused time to think about their actions.

That day will come, like it or not It is just a matter of time. It will happen to each of us sooner or later.

Someone once said there are two constants in life: death and taxes. I disagree. Taxes are not a constant in everyone’s life.

But death is.

The late Dr. Andy Jamison, a Roswell counselor for many years, used to start some of his talks with a story. He told of three passengers in a small plane doomed because of engine problems that occurred while flying high up in the sky.

The passengers were a pastor, a boy scout, and the smartest man in the world. Knowing the plane was going down, the pilot put the plane on autopilot, put a parachute on his back, and jumped from the plane.

The three passengers scrambled to find parachutes for themselves, but could only find two. While discussing who should get the two remaining parachutes, the smartest man in the world suddenly grabbed the pack closest to him, put it on his back

and jumped out of the plane. The pastor and the young boy scout looked at each other not knowing what they should do next.

One of them was going to live and one of them was in his final hour.

The pastor broke the silence by telling the boy scout that he should get the last parachute because the pastor had lived a full life and was ready to go on to heaven and meet God. After listening intently for a while, the boy scout looked at the pastor and said “Don’t worry. We both will survive this flight. We have two parachutes left. The smartest man in the world accidentally grabbed my backpack and jumped with it on his back.”

The point Dr. Jamison

was making was that all four of the passengers were going to make it back to the ground, the only question was how would they get there. All four of those in the plane made it back to Earth. One of them made it back quicker than the other three.

Life happens. Death happens. If you can read this, you are up in the air at this time. And hopefully you are on the move.

Sooner or later you will hit the ground. The question is not “if you will hit the ground,” the question is “when and how.”

I lost my father-in-law a week and a half ago. His name was Jerry Johnson or “JK” Johnson to some.

He lived a full 82 years.

He was an awesome man who touched and changed many lives in the 82 trips around the sun that God g a v e h im. A n d h is life impacted my life in so many ways. My experience in my journey of life was and is impacted so much by this fine gentleman.

He gave me my wife of 30 years. I asked for his blessing on marrying his

daughter the day before I proposed to Tanya. Jerry saying “yes, you have my blessing” forever changed my life.

He was old school (and we are losing more “old schoolers” every day). He believed deeply in what he believed. He was the head of his house and the head of his family. He worked hard and provided for his family so his wife could stay home and raise their children.

He gave the firmest handshake I have ever had. And he would look you dead in the eye when he firmly gripped your hand. He loved guns and was, as his bumper sticker once said, “I am a member of the NRA and I vote.”

In the 56 years I have lived, I have never experienced the death of a loved one this close. Both my parents and my motherin-law are still alive. My children and my siblings are all alive. I have not lost any nephews or nieces and so on. So it was a new experience to sit next to a bed and for hours to

That mobility is a reason most of us are better off than we would have been in a more rigid society, controlled by central economic planners.

Life will always be unfair. I want to play pro basketball. It’s unfair that LeBron James is bigger and more talented! It’s also unfair that George Clooney is better looking!

It’s unfair that my brother is smarter than me.

Jones points out, “I was born with an advantage, too. Being born in the United States ... totally unfair.” He also has two married parents — another huge advantage.

The question is not whether people start out life in homogeneous circumstances, he adds.

“The question is whether government policies that try to fix this actually make things better or worse.”

Worse, in most cases.

Government “help” encourages poor people to be dependent and passive. Dependent, people stay poor. Also, most government handouts don’t even go to the poor.

They go to the middle class (college loans, big mortgage tax deductions, Medicare) and the rich (corporate welfare, bail-

outs to banks “too big to fail”).

Instead of making government more powerful, let’s get rid of those handouts. Left and right ought to agree on that.

America has prosperity and innovation because we have relatively free markets.

Progressives say, “Keep the innovation but have government make us more equal.” But that doesn’t work. It’s been tried. Government-enforced equality — socialism — leaves everybody poor.

Equality is less important than opportunity.

they worry that the limitation imposed by discipline is just the first step. Specifically, they worry that their parents may hurt them.

Make sure that you regularly recognize wanted behaviors. When you see your child doing something that you like, give him a hug, a smile and some praise. If you accen-

tuate the positive, you may not eliminate the negative — but you’ll probably reduce it.

important always to be consistent. Rules must stay the same from one day to the next.

Whenever you are disciplining your child, enforce the rules without expressing anger. When kids see that a parent is angry,

hold the hand of a person who was in the final hours of his life.

Many of you have been there, some of you multiple times. God bless you.

Some of you have not been there. God bless you also.

There will be a last day for each of us. The world will look different looking backwards at the end of our days than it did at the front end. What will be important to you then? Is what will be important on your last day important to you now?

My challenge to you is to recognize the inevitable will happen to you sooner or later. And when that day comes, what you receive during your life will die with you. What you pass on to others will live on after you are gone.

There will never again be a Jerrold Keith Johnson. He was a life well lived. He was a life that left behind a legacy. I am proud to have lived over three decades of my life as his son-in-law.

Jerry was a man who changed the lives of oth-

ers. Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain. Rest in peace Jerry Johnson.

Death will greet each one of us. We will all hit the ground sooner or later. Hitting the ground is not what is important, it is a given. What is important is what happens while we are in the air and on the move; what happens in the days we live.

The sun came up today and I have breath in me.

Tomorrow is not a guarantee, but I have today. And there is something that I need to accomplish today that will make a difference in the life of someone else; better yet, something that will make a difference in many someones.

How is your day looking?

If Mr. Obama is able to get away with such artifice, we can think of no future international agreement that would require a congressional vote.

That is why the 47 Senate Republicans felt compelled to write to Iran’s leaders, who need to know that America does not have a king, like France’s Louis XIV, who declared: “The state, it is I.” Nor do we have a “supreme leader,” whose edicts go unchallenged.

Slow down and walk away from pedestrian collisions

By Steve Wolfe Roswell Safety Coalition Here’s something I have never written about. And likely I would not have except that Mike McLeod sent me a current Xcel Energy safety bulletin. The term “pedestrian collision” was new to me, and perhaps will be to you as well.

Pedestrian collisions can occur in several ways.

You might open a door too quickly and knock over the person on the other side. Or perhaps you and another individual coming from opposite directions approach a blind corner in a hallway, each of you make the turn and … crash! … all sorts of documents, notebooks and maybe people end up on the floor! And another collision, perhaps the most

embarrassing, although occasionally humorous, is the one where you walk into a glass door, all by yourself. (As you pick yourself up off the floor, you are quick to glance around, hoping that no one has observed your fall!)

These are just some of the ways a pedestrian can have an impact with another person or with an object.

The end results can be the same — injuries! Broken noses, fractured arms, strains, cuts, bruises and

worse have been reported from pedestrian collisions.

The following are some simple tips which may help you avoid such collisions.

Of course, these do apply in the workplace, but they also apply in stores and other non-work situations.

You may even remember a time when you and your spouse had a pedestrian collision right in your own hallway at home.

When approaching a door which opens toward you, be alert for signs of movement. If the door opens unexpectedly, raise your forearm to stop it from hitting your face. A solid door, opening away from you, requires that you pay attention and do not rush. If you turn the handle slowly, applying your weight against it, you will give the person on

the other side a chance to move out of the way. And when opening a solid door towards yourself, place one hand — about shoulder height — on the edge of the door. Then as you turn the handle to release the lock, apply a slight pressure against the door.

This will prevent another person from forcefully opening the door from the other side. Swinging doors can, of course, present a different set of hazards.

If a door does not have a viewing window, take extra caution when approaching it. It could strike you from either side. Finally, correctly use doors which are marked “In” and “Out.” As you walk down a hallway, stay on its right-hand side to avoid collisions at blind corners. Slow down at those corners, giving

yourself time to react if someone else is rushing toward you.

Additionally, I think technology is one of the greatest hazards to our health as we walk. While it was once risky behavior to be reading, turning your head to talk to your companion, or even daydreaming, our world of iPhones and iPads yields the greatest risk. You must watch where you are headed!

Entrances with glass doors, whether in the public or at home, should have visible markings on the glass to help prevent accidents. Screens are, of course, an occasional culprit that we attempt to walk through. Unfortunately, in those cases, all the hamburgers usually end up on the floor.

There are, of course,

many ways that you can be involved in an accident as a pedestrian. Articles such as tools and equipment, toys and boxes which are left in unexpected locations can cause collisions, tripping accidents and falls. It may be a simple matter of doing better housekeeping.

Stairways can be hazardous, especially if they are poorly lit, and you should report dimly lit areas, missing or burned-out light bulbs to your supervisor.

Remember, collisions do not happen only to vehicles on streets and highways. We must all take just a little more time, slowing down as we approach doorways, corners, staircases and as we open doors at home or at work. And put that cellphone down!

Peter Gallagher fights infection to return to Broadway NEW YORK (AP) — If there’s one thing that musical theater performers fear most it might be silence — their own. Imagine opening your mouth to sing and nothing comes out.

Peter Gallagher knows that sinking feeling all too well. He has battled a severe sinus infection to be able to star opposite Kristin Chenoweth when Broadway’s “On the Twentieth Century” opens Sunday.

“I thought I had a cold. For about 10 days, I was singing through it.

It turned out it wasn’t a cold,” said Gallagher, who is on antibiotics and is never far from a bottle of water. “I had no voice.”

Previews of the madcap musical were rocked in late February when the actor had to let his understudy go on instead. A March 4 return was too soon and he had to drop out again. Gallagher hit the stage again last weekend and — knock wood —

has been fine since.

In an interview with his co-star this week, Gallagher, who estimates he has logged a total of 2,400 performances on Broadway, couldn’t hide his frustration with a virus that disrupted so many shows.

“I’ve always prided myself on being a bit of a workhorse. I’ve probably missed more shows in the last two weeks than I have in the past 38 years,” he said. “I felt particularly bad abandoning Kristin during this period of time.”

Chenoweth, the Emmyand Tony Award-winning star of “Wicked,” can commiserate. She has performed over the years with vertigo, broken toes and a dislocated shoulder, but she missed shows only because of a throat infection.

“When it happens, I believe it’s just a higher being going, ‘And now you’re going to stop,’” she said. “What’s so frustrat-

ing in this business is we put all this time and energy and effort into something and sickness is what gets you?”

Gallagher, whose films include “sex, lies, and videotape” and “American Beauty,” had been careful about his health before the infection. He stopped going out at night and skipped coffee.

“I’ve been living like a monk. I’ve been Mr. Purell — protecting every possibility,” he said, ruefully. “But you know what?

Ultimately it’s part of the thrill of the live experience.”

The musical he’s in is adapted from a 1934 film with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Cy Coleman. It features the songs “Our Private World” and “Life Is Like a Train.”

Both actors have been humbled by the score.

“I’ve never had to sing this kind of music,” said Gallagher. His co-star agrees: “Honestly, it’s a challenge.

I was trained operatically and it’s hard.”

In the show, Gallagher plays a shameless — and penniless — producer who hightails it out of Chicago after his stage version of “Joan of Arc” flops. He needs a hit and hopes one of his leading ladies who went on to fame to Hollywood can help. They meet aboard the Twentieth Century Limited train, as it travels to New York City.

Chenoweth has been a Gallagher fan since she caught him in “Guys and Dolls” in 1992 and tried to persuade him to do her 2013 movie “Family Weekend,” which wasn’t a smash. (”Yes, it’s a huge hit — on planes,” Chenoweth jokes. “You have to fly to see it.”)

“He was so kind,” she said. “He probably is too sweet to say he wasn’t thrilled about the script, but he called me on the phone — not an email — and he said, ‘I’m not going to be able to do it. I really am sorry, kid. I really

Officials: Listeriosis not cause of 3 deaths, may be factor

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A foodborne illness linked to some Blue Bell ice cream products might have been a contributing factor in the deaths of three hospital patients in Kansas, health officials said Saturday.

But listeriosis didn’t cause the deaths, according to Kansas Department of Health and Environment spokeswoman Sara Belfry.

Officials have not released the names of the five patients at Via Christi St. Francis hospital in Wichita, Kansas, who developed listeriosis after eating products from one production line at the Blue Bell creamery in Brenham, Texas.

But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the five individuals were older adults and three of them are women. The CDC did not specify the gender of those patients who died.

The five patients became ill with listeriosis during their hospitalizations for unrelated causes between December 2013 and January 2015. But hospital spokeswoman Maria Loving said she couldn’t discuss why the patients were hospitalized, citing patient confidentiality laws.

According to the CDC, information available for four of the five patients shows they had eaten while hospitalized milkshakes made with Blue Bell ice cream product called “Scoops” in the month before the infection.

The FDA says listeria bacteria were found in samples of Scoops, as well as Blue Bell Chocolate Chip

Country Cookies, Great Divide Bars, Sour Pop Green Apple Bars, Cotton Candy Bars, Vanilla Stick Slices, Almond Bars and No Sugar Added Moo Bars.

Blue Bell says it has recovered all recalled products that were in stores and in storage.

Cincinnati-based supermarket chain Kroger removed recalled Blue Bell products from 860 of its 2,625 stores and the company is alerting customers through its recall notifica-

tion system, spokesman Keith Dailey said in an email.

“We would not sell any product that we believed to be potentially harmful to our customers,” Dailey responded when asked if Kroger has confidence in Blue Bell products not affected by the recall and that remain on store shelves.

Blue Bell says its regular Moo Bars were untainted, as were its half gallons, quarts, pints, cups,

three-gallon ice cream and take-home frozen snack novelties.

The Texas Department of State Health Services said facilities like Blue Bell’s are inspected on a monthly basis. The agency added that no enforcement action has previously been taken against the facility in Brenham and it is operating in compliance with food safety laws.

It’s not unusual to see listeria outbreaks linked to dairy products, includ-

ing ice cream, said William Marler, an attorney who represented victims of a 2011 listeria outbreak that killed 33 people and was traced to a Colorado cantaloupe farm.

In December, an ice cream company in Snohomish, Washington, recalled nearly a year’s worth of ice cream and related products because of possible listeria contamination that sickened two men.

Marler said he thought Blue Bell had responded

appropriately once it knew its products were linked to illnesses and deaths.

His only criticism was that Blue Bell didn’t mention the patients who were sickened or died in Kansas in a statement on its Web site, instead highlighting that this was the first product recall in its 108-year history.

Listeriosis is a life-threatening infection caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes.

ILEA

sia, and perhaps instructors from other FLETCs in Georgia, Maryland and South Carolina, will take over instruction at ILEA-Roswell after the contract with BlueLaw International expires June 1, said the State Department official.

“What’s happening at the moment is, as of June 1, we’re going to be in a situation where we have courses scheduled and participants arriving, but there’s no longer going to be a contractor who is set up to deliver the course curriculum,” he said. “During this interim period, we’ve arranged to have FLETC instructors come in and deliver the ILEA-Roswell courses. Some will come from Georgia, some might come from Artesia. It will depend on where those particular experts are.

“Now the reason we selected FLETC to work with during the transition, and I want to stress it’s only for the transition, is that their pool of available instructors was just much larger than any of the other agencies we work with. That’s what FLETC does, they train people.

“Over tentatively the next six months or so, we’re going to have FLETC instructors come in and deliver the curriculum at ILEA-Roswell. During this transition time, we’re going to be working with five or six other federal law enforcement agencies, including FLETC, to develop new courses, new curriculum for ILEA-Roswell going forward.”

The State Department emphasized it will retain control of ILEA-Roswell while instructors are brought in from the FLETCs. “The State Department has run it in the past and the State Department will run it in the future,” the State Department official said. “The control of the

The State Department official said the revamped ILEA-Roswell will recruit the most senior law enforcement officials from the 85 nations that participate in the State Department’s ILEA programs.

“What we’re moving to with Roswell, we’re doing it a little bit now, but certainly what we’re going to be pushing towards with the new curriculum is a very, very senior level officer,” the State Department official said. “We’re talking like the heads of the police forces, the very senior prosecutors, supreme court justices, parliamentarians, the people who are really at the formative edge of how these legal systems work in the participating countries.

“It will raise the prestige and take ILEA-Roswell up to another level.”

ILEA-Roswell was established in 2001 with support from the state and city of Roswell to offer criminal justice instruction from an academic perspective, rather than an operational one, to a global audience. The facility as of July had instructed more than 4,200 delegates from 99 different countries speaking 29 different languages since its opening.

The State Department official said the final steps of the ILEA-Roswell transition will include soliciting for a federal law enforcement director to oversee academic operations.

“The federal law enforcement directors, they’re there to oversee the academic side of things,” the State Department official said. “They are the ones who are the career law enforcement agents. Most of them have very strong training backgrounds. So that’s what they’re there to do, but we manage the program.

“So at the end of this whole transition, what ILEA-Roswell is going to look like, it’s going to be a training academy run by the State Department.

There will be a federal law enforcement director there to oversee the academic operations and the courses will be developed and delivered by a spectrum of federal law enforcement agencies. All the ones that everybody knows about, the FBI, DEA, ATF, etc.”

ILEA exposes participants from around the world to critical foreign policy objectives of the Department of State and the latest techniques in criminal justice practices, states ILEA’s website.

In addition to ILEA-Roswell, the State Department runs four “regional” law enforcement academies in Budapest, Hungary; Bangkok; Gaborone, Botswana and San Salvador, El Salvador, serving Europe,

Asia, Africa and South America, respectively.

“The regional programs will target officers in the middle to senior management ranks, like a team commander for a narcotics unit or financial intelligence unit,” the State Department official said.

“Whereas the regional ILEAs may be working on making particular officers better at their jobs, ILEA-Roswell is going to be what we call our policy ILEA. It’s going to be engaging with the policymakers in these countries in order to try to affect the systems in a positive way of how they conduct the rule of law. The curriculum is going to be geared much more towards a policy conversation with policymakers.”

The network of International Law Enforcement Academies throughout the world was created by the State Department to combat international drug trafficking, criminality and terrorism through strengthened international cooperation.

“Each one of the regional ILEAs is set up to facilitate training within countries in that region,” said the State Department official. “Each of these facilities has a director and deputy director who are selected from the 12 federal law enforcement agencies that participate in the ILEA program. The courses that are delivered at these regional facilities are developed and delivered also by these 12 federal law enforcement agencies.”

The transition of ILEA-Roswell will not result in an interruption of courses, the State Department official said.

“If anything, we’re going to broaden the participating countries,” he said.

“Because of the other operational pressures, I’d say the majority of the programs have focused on Latin American countries. In the future, Roswell should see a lot more African participants, a lot more Southeast Asian participants and Eastern European participants.”

The State Department official said the elevation of ILEA-Roswell as a policy facility could result in an expansion of the program in Roswell.

“We always have to operate within the parameters of our budget,” he said. “The most that we can stretch out of that, we’re going to do that. If we can get more courses or longer courses, or a different combination of stuff, we’re going to be very creative in how we put this together.

“Regarding local employment, I wouldn’t predict that there is going to be any shrinking in that at all.”

Instructors from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers in Arte-

program will always rest with the State Department.”

No longer having a contract with a third-party to deliver instruction at ILEA-Roswell will save the State Department “quite a bit of money,” the State Department official said.

“We don’t pay for the federal agents,” he said.

“The federal agencies will pay for them themselves.

The curriculum development is part of their own agency budgets, so there are a lot of things already in the federal government budget, which by nature of that will already be covered, so we don’t need to spend money twice on it.

“So once that new curriculum is developed, we’re going to have a new course curriculum that is developed and delivered by federal law enforcement officers at the ILEA-Roswell to the participants there. It’s going to be much more heavily influenced and heavily involved by active federal law enforcement agents. We’re taking much more direct control over the curriculum.”

The State Department official said ILEA-Roswell was set up differently than the other four ILEAs. “Because the State Department was very interested in getting Roswell up and running, getting it running quickly, rather than setting it up the way we have with the regionals, we set the program up through a third-party contract,” the State Department official said. “So Myron Golden with BlueLaw International, they were the ones who were developing and delivering the curriculum. They did a great job.

They developed the curriculum through university inputs. We’ve gotten very good feedback from the participants on the course curriculum. They’ve really enjoyed their time in Ros-

Novelist Lawrence Sanders (1920), former U.S. President Andrew Jackson (1767), Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933) well with the community outreach. Its just been a great program.

“But it’s never had a federal law enforcement director and the curriculum has been developed and delivered by this contractor. The reason that we’re making program changes right now, versus in the past or in the future, is that the contract on the curriculum management is expiring.

We were faced with the situation of do we want to put this thing to contract again, or do we want to take the opportunity to set ILEA-Roswell up on a footing that’s much more consistent with the other ILEAs. So that’s what we’re planning to do.”

The State Department official said Roswell’s small-town atmosphere is a good match for ILEA students.

“Big cities are kind of big cities, regardless of what country you’re in,” he said. “The experience that they have in Roswell with the small town really gives them a lot better opportunity to interact with everyday America.

From our perspective, we have a lot less that we feel we need to worry about.

Obviously, if we had 40 people from various countries going to Manhattan, we’d have concerns about different things happening.”

The State Department official said Roswell’s community involvement with ILEA is also key.

“The community is really engaged, which means

a lot to us,” he said. “We have the community outreach programs, the receptions, the home hosting. Those are the types of things that we get a lot of positive feedback on that don’t happen at the other ILEAs. We don’t have that kind of community involvement in Bangkok or San Salvador or anything like that. Roswell is the only hosting community that does that.”

U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce said the transition of ILEA-Roswell into a policy facility for more select students would raise its international stature.

“It looks like a winwin to me,” said Pearce, R-Hobbs. “It looks like a pretty good deal. I feel confident right now that things are OK, but we constantly need to watch the process.”

U.S. Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico said ILEA-Roswell serves an important international function.

“ILEA-Roswell plays an important role in promoting rule of law overseas and training police officers to respect human rights,” Udall said. “These changes will bring the academy in line with the best international law enforcement training centers throughout the world, helping Roswell attract top officials, support local jobs and keep the community strong.”

Goddard tops Clovis to win Southwest Baseball Classic Shawn Naranjo Photos

Right: Goddard’s Mitch Naylor lays down a bunt in the Southwest Classic championship game Saturday afternoon at the “Launch Pad” at Goddard High School.

Below: Lefty pitcher Cal Villareal got the start in the title game for the Rockets, who won 12-6 to start the year 3-0.

By Paul Lessard Record Correspondent The Goddard Rocket baseball team capped a successful opening weekend with a 12-6 win over Clovis on Saturday afternoon.

With the win, the Rockets won the annual Southwest Baseball Classic capping three straight wins – the last two at their home field.

The Rockets overcame six errors and got a big third inning to help beat the Wildcats, a team the Rockets beat four times last year.

“Timely hitting and timely plays defensively (helped today),” stated coach Alan

Edmonson. “It definitely wasn’t our best performance from a defensive stand point, but, in the same regards, we made some outstanding plays defensively which took some base hits away from them.

The kids played hard and I’m proud of them.”

The Wildcats (3-3) scored two runs in the opening frame with three singles and an error to go up 2-0.

The Rockets would even things up in the bottom of the first without the benefit of a hit. Clovis pitchers issued five walks – two with the bases loaded to even things up at 2-2.

Starting pitcher Cal Villareal settled in after the opening inning and pitched scoreless ball for the next three innings. The Rockets, meanwhile, exploded in the bottom of the third inning.

Gaylan Young led off with double to the wall on a 1-2 count which was followed by a Cameron Stevenson single. Young, who got on base all four times, would steal home when Stevenson induced a pickle situation to get the Rockets up 3-2.

Both Ricky Roybal and Andrew Shanor would walk to load the bases which brought up No. 9 hitter Luke Fink. Fink prompt-

ly cleared the bases with a stand-up triple to left. Mitch Naylor brought him in with a sacrifice bunt to make it 7-2. “(Fink) picked out a good pitch and got a hold of it,” stated Edmonson. “It went through the hole and we had guys running – clearing the bases, it was definitely a momentum-changing moment for us.”

The Rockets plated two more runs in the bottom of the fourth to make it 9-2.

Tino Martinez, 2-for-3 on the afternoon, and Shanor both hit 2-out RBI singles to keep all of the momentum heading to the fifth.

The Wildcats finally chased Villareal in the fifth with three runs to make it 9-5. Clovis used three walks and two errors in the inning to cut into the lead.

The Rockets brought in Cole Wentland in relief and he stopped the bleeding with two quick outs.

The Rockets scored three more in the bottom of the fifth thanks to three hit batsmen by Clovis pitcher Austin Adams, the third pitcher for the Wildcats.

Martinez again got the big hit with a 2-out single to bring in two runs.

Wentland would get the Wildcats out 3-up 3-down in the sixth and then survive a shaky seventh. The See GODDARD, Page B2

New Mexico State wins women’s WAC title Wild opening week for NFL’s business season

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sasha Weber scored 20 points, tournament MVP Brianna Freeman added 17 and New Mexico State beat Texas-Pan American 70-52 on Saturday to win the Western Athletic Conference title.

Shanice Davis finished with 14 points for New Mexico State (22-7), which won its first conference tournament title and locked up an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1988.

The Aggies, who won the WAC regular-season title with a 13-1 record, shot 69 percent in the first half.

Shawnte’ Goff led Texas-Pan American (19-14) with 11 points.

New Mexico State began to pull away midway through the first half, mostly as a result of its hot

Freeman was difficult to stop under the basket, scoring on a series of layups and making 6 of 7 shots in the first half for 11 points.

When the Broncs collapsed on her, Sasha Weber (5 of 6 from long distance) burned them with outside shooting.

A 13-0 run over a five-minute stretch gave the Aggies a 20-point lead, 33-13.

New Mexico State had a commanding 47-27 lead at the half, making 18 of 26 shots. Conversely, Texas-Pan American was just 10 of 36 for 28 percent, then missed its first 13 shots of the second half. It didn’t score its first basket until nine minutes into the half.

NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe everyone should have known from the way the Super Bowl ended that the beginning of the NFL’s business season would be wild.

Chip Kelly made one stunning move after another. The normally free-spending Cowboys let DeMarco Murray, the league’s top offensive player, walk — to Kelly and division rival Philadelphia.

Three players retired in their primes. The Colts loaded up on veterans, a clear message they believe 2015 is their year to make super things happen.

Then the Jets brought back the two key players from their outstanding secondary under Rex Ryan. But

wait, Ryan is now in Buffalo, remaking the Bills’ roster. And the Dolphins added Ndamukong Suh. All three teams want to mount some sort of challenge to the Patriots.

Things should slow down now, although who really knows given the frantic nature of this week?

“This is a process that goes all the way through until the trading deadline stops, and (then) there’s no moves until the season’s over,” says Broncos boss John Elway. “It’s a process.

It just slows down. Now you get out of the frenzy of everything, and you can get back to reality and try to find some good football players.”

Roswell edged by St. Michael’s in Southwest Classic consolation

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent

Another Coyote baseball game came down to the wire Saturday, but Roswell ultimately couldn’t hang on for the win. The Coyotes were edged by St. Michael’s 3-2 in the consolation championship of the Southwest Baseball Classic at Roswell High School.

The biggest problem for Roswell on Saturday was a lack of early hitting, according to Coyotes coach Steve Nunez, which has been a recurring problem so far for his team this eason.

“We just didn’t have the energy at the beginning,” Nunez said. “All six games we haven’t scored a run in the first couple of innings.

It’s starting slow and it’s got to change. We’re trying to be aggressive on the bases now early and it’s not working right now. So we’ve got to go back and try it again.”

Some impressive Coyote fielding — including a double play in the first — backed up starter Ty Jordan, but three walks, an error and a single in the third put the Horsemen up

2-0. Roswell put three runners on base in the first, but a running mistake and a subsequent double play erased any scoring chances for the Coyotes early.

St. Mike’s pitcher J. Feldewert, who went the distance, sat the Coyotes down 1-2-3 in the second and fourth. Feldewert allowed a runner to get to third in the third and walked one in the fifth, but no one crossed the plate on his watch.

Roswell reliever Kaleb Seabrease walked two Horsemen in the fourth but it looked like the Coyotes would get out of the jam with a sparkling double play that saw shortstop Brian Espinosa field the ball at second and throw to first. But a St. Michael’s appeal that first baseman Garrison Kyser was pulled off the base overturned the call, and an error on the next batter made it 3-0 Horsemen.

Hector Garcia came to the mound for the Coyotes in the fifth, and despite putting a few runners on base, allowed no more runs. Meanwhile, Roswell finally got through at the plate in the sixth, when

Kyser walked, advanced to third on a Frank Carrillo double and scored on a ground out.

But Carrillo was left at third, making it 3-1 heading into the seventh inning, and that’s when things got interesting.

The No. 7 hitter Rudy Castillo bunted and got safely to first, as did pinch hitter Gabriel Perez. Devin Dubiel also bunted, and while he was out at first, Castillo and Perez were at second and third with only one out. Brian Espinosa ground out, scoring Castillo, but Matt Salas popped out to right, ending the game.

“I had some speed coming up in the lineup and I know these guys can bunt and I figured, ‘You know what? We’re hitting ground balls to them and they’re fielding them, so let’s make them field the bunt and play the small ball with them,’” Nunez said. “And it worked out just like I had envisioned it. We just didn’t get the timely hit when we needed it.”

Nunez was also pleased with the effort by Garcia on the mound.

“Hector came in and threw strikes just like we asked him to,” the coach said. “He was filling up the zone and everything, and that’s what we want out of

relievers, is come in and shut everything down and he did a good job today.”

Offensively, the Coyotes only had four hits by four different batters.

The young Roswell squad now has a week to prepare for 6A Clovis, who they’ll face in a home doubleheader March 21 beginning at 1 p.m.

Busch lifted by warm reception from race team upon his return AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kurt Busch, buoyed by a warm reception from his race team, was finally back in a car Friday preparing for his first race of the season.

There was very little rust: He advanced into the final round of qualifying and will start eighth in Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway.

“It’s not me,” Busch said. “It’s the team.”

Busch was suspended the first three races of the season for an alleged domestic assault of a former girlfriend. NASCAR reinstated him this week, and Stewart-Haas Racing promptly put him back in the No. 41 Chevrolet.

“It’s always a little different going out there for your first lap of the year,” Busch said. “It all felt normal today, and to be in the top-10, that’s a great start.

But there are all kinds of things to learn and feel with the car.

“I’m looking forward to the next three weeks. I had three weeks to sit and watch, and now I’m back on my game.”

He seemed to genuinely appreciate being back in a car and among his peers.

“The seat, the belts and just the love from the crew guys, it’s been pretty cool the way the garage feels like a fraternity,” he said after his first practice session. “It’s nice to see good friends.”

Busch was suspended two days before the season-opening Daytona 500 after a Delaware judge ruled he likely assaulted Patricia Driscoll in his motorhome in September at Dover International Speedway. He lost two rounds of appeals on the eve of the season-opening Daytona 500, then missed NASCAR’s biggest race of the year.

He also was suspended for races at Atlanta, one of his favorite tracks, and Las Vegas, his hometown.

Right: Busch gets into his car before qualifications for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race, Friday.

The 2004 champion said it was “torture” not being able to race.

It was the third suspension of his career, and led NASCAR to insist that Busch participate in a road to reinstatement program.

His path to reinstatement accelerated last week when the Delaware attorney general declined to charge Busch, and a health care expert recommended to NASCAR Busch’s immediate reinstatement.

Busch, who remains on indefinite probation, has denied Driscoll’s allegations.

His focus, he insisted Friday, is just getting back to racing and a regular routine.

“It was good just to get back in the seat and shake hands with all the guys,” Busch said. “Having the support of Stewart-Haas, it’s been like family. Then to see the other crew members that I know, and some that I don’t know, who shake my hand and say ‘welcome back,’ it feels good.”

After missing the first three races, he’s got some adapting to do to the new

2015 rules package.

“I have to learn the car and the feel, because it looks like the lap times are so tight,” he said, noting that one slight miss in first practice had him 17th on the speed chart.

Reigning NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick believes SHR will benefit from Busch’s return.

Regan Smith drove the No. 41 in the first three races, with a best finish of 16th at both Daytona and Las Vegas.

Harvick, meanwhile, won last weekend at Las Vegas and has two runner-up finishes.

But SHR teammates Tony Stewart and Danica Patrick are not yet up to the same speed. Stewart has had two wrecks and was 33rd last week at Las Vegas, where he was vocal

in his displeasure with the rules package.

Patrick’s best finish was 16th at Atlanta.

“To have Kurt back in the car is an asset to everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing from a performance side,” Harvick said. “Everything that he does inside that race car is a benefit to us.”

Patrick also believes the organization can utilize Busch’s strengths to help all four cars. Busch has 25 career wins and is considered one of the smartest drivers in the garage.

“He’s very fast, he’s really technical — he talks way over my head about stuff about the car,” she said, adding that having the regular SHR lineup together for debriefs and competition meetings will be a help.

Goddard Continued from Page B1

Wildcats would get two singles and the Rockets would make two errors – all with two outs – but would get out of the inning to push the Rockets to 3-0 on the year and get the first-place trophy.

Edmonson was pleased with the opening weekend of play for his young squad.

“The kids are playing well.

We’re not the best-look-

ing, best-dressed team out there, but we play harder than anyone else. You see it in the effort out there with some of the plays we make. I like this group of kids. I think they are going to come together well and I expect big things out of them.”

The Rockets get a bit of rest before hosting 6A Hobbs on Thursday.

Ryan Moore takes lead at Valspar Championship

PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Moore had no trouble explaining how, after 12 consecutive pars to start the third-round of the Valspar Championship, he birdied four of the final six holes Saturday.

“I just hit it closer,” he said.

The result was a 4-under 67 that pushed Moore to a 54-hole total of 9-under 204 and a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth on Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead course.

Spieth shot 68. Derek Ernst was another stroke back after a 69.

The field was like a crowded freeway early before Moore finally opened up some space. When the final pairing of Brendon de Jonge and Spieth reached its fifth hole, they were part of an eight-way tie for the lead at 5 under. Another seven players were a shot back. Twenty-seven were within three.

While de Jonge, who led by one after 36 holes, shot 75 and fell off the pace, Moore, seeking his fifth career win, moved steadily along in the swirling wind until sprinting to the finish.

“Any day around this golf course with no bogies is pretty good, especially the spots where I hit it,” Moore said. “I was able to save par really low in the middle of my round, made some good putts but had some good chip shots. Was able to get it rolling there and make some birdies coming in.”

The first birdie, coming on

Kevin Streelman blasts from the sand trap on the first hole during the third round of the Valspar Championship golf tournament Saturday at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Fla. the 200-yard par-13th with a 6-iron to 81/2 feet, was the springboard.

“It was not an easy par 3, especially with that wind,” Moore said. “It was hard to figure out whether it

was really helping or more across. Obviously, you don’t want to get that wrong with water short and with trouble long, you don’t want to go long of that green.

“Stepped up and hit a

great iron shot there, left myself a nice 8-, 9-footer right below the hole and knocking that in kind of got me going there on the backside.”

Spieth was tied for the

lead until Moore’s birdie at 18. Spieth saved par at that hole with a one-putt from 6 feet.

“I got a lot of confidence at the end right there with my putter,” Spieth said. “I had

those 6-, 7- footers that, you know, when I’m close but not quite there those are the ones that slide by the hole because I just kind of baby it a little bit and hit confident putts coming in.”

(AP) – When the field of 68 is finally revealed Sunday evening it means the phrase “bubble watch” goes on its trip to the land of jargon until next February when it again will be around as the regular season starts to come to a close.

This year’s bubble bunch took a hit Saturday when Wyoming beat San Diego State 45-43 in the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship game. The Cowboys have an RPI around 80, not good enough to get in as an at-large, and San Diego State, with an RPI around 25, will still get in despite the loss.

“We’ve been so close before, just seeing it slip right from our fingertips,” Wyoming senior Larry Nance Jr. said. “To know that this is ours, and there’s nothing anybody can do to take that away from us, like I said, it’s everything we imagined and more.”

That means one of the teams that have been declared bubble teams over the past two weeks will get bumped. Oklahoma State, Purdue, Indiana, Mississippi and LSU are all power conference teams with RPIs from 48-54 and they will all have a rough Saturday wondering if their resume is good enough to get them in the tournament.

“I do think we’re in the tournament,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said after the Boilermakers’ loss to Wisconsin on Saturday in the Big Ten semifinals. “We’ve had 13 Big Ten wins, and I do feel we’re in the tournament. But we had to overcome some things. There’s

no doubt the way we played nonconference we had to go get — I said it when we walked out of non-conference. I just said, we’ve got to get 13 Big Ten wins in some way, counting the Big Ten Tournament, however you want to accumulate it, we’ve got to get to 13, and we were able to do that.”

The teams on the bracket fence dodged a bullet Saturday when Rhode Island lost to Dayton in the Atlantic 10 semifinals. A win by the Rams, who have an RPI around 55, would have kept them alive for an automatic bid if they could have beaten VCU in Sunday’s championship game.

WAITIN’ FOR DAYTON: Eight teams get the NCAA Tournament started before the rest of the field, Tuesday and Wednesday in the first round played in Dayton, Ohio.

One game each day will be played between two of the last four of the 36 teams to receive at-large bids. The extra game is by no means a tournament death notice.

VCU started its run to the Final Four in 2011 with a first-round win over Southern Cal 59-46. Four games later, the Rams beat Kansas to reach the Final Four where they lost to Butler in the semifinals.

The other two games feature teams trying to be a No. 16 seed and face the awesome task of being the first one ever to beat a No. 1 seed. It’s a guarantee that Hampton, which beat Delaware State on Saturday to win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament and the league’s automatic bid.

No. 1 Kentucky drubs Auburn to reach 33-0 BUBBLE WATCH: Final opportunities

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Top-ranked Kentucky reached high gear quickly and poured it on against an Auburn squad that lost two players in less than 24 hours.

Considering the Wildcats’ effectiveness in many areas Saturday in a 91-67 victory that put them in the Southeastern Conference final, chances are a full-strength Tigers squad wouldn’t have done much to change it.

Willie Cauley-Stein scored 18 points and Andrew Harrison added 15 to help Kentucky improve to 33-0 and break the school-record winning streak of 32 games set from Dec. 5, 1953, to Jan. 8, 1955. The Wildcats will face Arkansas, seeking their 28th tournament title and first since 2011.

Their effort against the Tigers was certainly a good tuneup.

“It was a good game, a hard-fought game and we played well,” said Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose team shot 56 percent and outrebounded Auburn 39-25.

Trey Lyles, Aaron Harrison and Devin Booker each added 12 points for the Wildcats. They led by 28 with 6:04 left.

The Wildcats had their way against a short-handed opponent. Auburn forward Jordon Granger was suspended for fighting in Friday’s quarterfinal win over LSU, and the school announced just before the tipoff that forward Cinmeon Bowers had been suspended for a potential rules violation.

Antoine Mason had 23 points for Auburn (15-20), which shot 33 percent and had won its previous three games. Malcolm Canada added 16 points, and KT Harrell had 13.

More than anything, the Wildcats quickly deflated an Auburn team that upset fourth-seeded LSU 73-70 in overtime Friday.

“We wanted to have a faster start than yesterday (against) Florida, and that’s what we did,” guard Aaron Harrison said.

Whatever euphoria the Tigers enjoyed from the LSU game faded in a hurry against Kentucky, which drilled them by 35 points last month in Lexington. The challenge was all the more difficult without Granger, who sat several rows behind the Auburn

bench with fans dressed in warmups.

Then came the pregame announcement of Bowers’ suspension that made Auburn’s task even tougher. The forward sat on the bench dressed in a warmup, left with the role of playing cheerleader.

Starting in Bowers’ place was 6-foot-5 junior swing man Devin Waddell, who had scored just 14 points this season. The Tigers also used 7-foot-2 reserve Trayvon Reed but still lacked the size and manpower to keep up with the taller, deeper Wildcats.

“We obviously knew we had our hands full,” Auburn coach Bruce

Pearl said. “For our guys, we were undersized and undermanned, but we’ve been that way all along. I’m just proud of the way my guys competed.”

Of Bowers’ situation, Pearl added, “I hope that when we complete the investigation that we’re OK.” Andrew Harrison and Lyles combined for 22 firsthalf points and the Wildcats led 47-29 at the break, shooting 58 percent.

On eve of Selection Sunday, several conference tournament champions crowned across the country No. 13 Cyclones beat No. 9 Kansas 70-66 for Big 12 title

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — During a break early in the second half of the Big 12 Tournament title game, Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg gathered his team in front of the bench and asked them a simple question.

“How much do you have left?”

The answer turned out to be just enough.

After digging a 17-point hole against ninth-ranked Kansas, the Cyclones put together another of their trademark comebacks.

Georges Niang led the way with 19 points, Abdel Nader made the go-ahead foul shots with 48 seconds left, and No. 13 Iowa State beat the Jayhawks 70-66 to win its second consecutive tournament championship.

“We got down 17 and they were still talking and positive in the huddle,” Hoiberg said later, “and that’s a great sign, when your guys can stick together through adversity.”

They’re getting quite accustomed to it.

It was the fifth straight game — including all three in the tournament — that the Cyclones rallied from a double-digit deficit, prompting Niang to dub his teammates the “Comeback Kids.”

“We don’t want to come back every time but it just seems to keep happening to us,” Niang said. “If that’s our emergency button, if that’s what we have to do, we’ll do it.”

Nader finished with 13 points, and Jameel McKay and Monte Morris had 11 each for the Cyclones (258), who also knocked off the Jayhawks on their way to winning the title a year ago.

As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Cyclones streamed onto the floor and chants of “I-S-U” echoed through the Sprint Center, which was evenly split between the red-clad fans from the north and the blue-clad Kansas fans from the west.

“We knew it’s a long game, no matter what team you’re playing,” said the Jayhawks’ Wayne Selden Jr., who had a career-high 25 points. “Whether you’re up or down, it’s a long game.”

Frank Mason III also had 13 points for the Jayhawks (26-8), who still had their chances after Nader’s two foul shots made it 65-63 with 48 seconds left.

Freshman guard Devonte’ Graham went to the basket but was out of control, turning the ball over, and Kansas quickly fouled.

Morris made the second of two free throws with 23.8 seconds left.

Kansas still had a chance to tie the game with a 3, but coach Bill Self opted to drive to the rim.

Mason missed a spinning layup, Dustin Hogue gathered in the rebound and Iowa State began to celebrate its second consecutive championship and third overall.

“Coach always talks to us about fighting through adversity, staying together as a team,” Nader said.

“That’s what we did again tonight.”

With their athletic director, Jamie Pollard, recovering in the hospital from a heart attack, the Cyclones went on a 12-0 finishing run with a buzzer-beater from Morris to knock off Texas in the quarterfinals.

Then they rallied from an 11-point hole in the semifinals, a game that ended when Oklahoma’s Ryan Spangler missed a tying layup at the horn.

Their comeback Saturday night may have been the most impressive yet.

After trailing 37-23 at the break and watching Mason hit three straight foul shots to start the second half, Iowa State rallied against one of the Big 12’s best defenses. Niang led the way with seven points during a 17-2 run that forced Self to burn several timeouts.

Selden tried to answer the charge, elevating high above the rim and spearing an alley-oop pass from Mason with one hand before slamming it through.

Iowa State kept on coming, though.

With relentless pressure in the half-court, the Cyclones kept forcing the Jayhawks into difficult shots — when they weren’t turning them over. Eventually, Iowa State embarked on a 10-0 run capped by Bryce Dejean-Jones’s basket for a 57-51 lead with 6

That’s when Kansas mounted a charge of its own, with Selden driving to the rim and getting

fouled three times down the stretch. With 1:29 to go, he went to the rim and was fouled by Niang, the ball hanging on the rim

for a moment before falling. The ensuing free throw made it 63-all.

Set up a memorable final minute, too.

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Hart had 15 points in his latest brilliant performance off the bench, and top-seeded Villanova turned the Big East championship game into a Saturday night blowout by beating Xavier 69-52 for its second tournament title.

Looking to lock up a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs, the fourth-ranked Wildcats (32-2) made an impressive statement much to the delight of a pro-Villanova crowd at Madison Square Garden.

After squeezing past Providence 63-61 with the help of a questionable call in Fri-

day night’s semifinals, Villanova had no such trouble against the sixth-seeded Musketeers (21-13).

Dylan Ennis scored 16 points and Darrun Hilliard had 12, sending the Wildcats into the NCAA Tournament on a 15-game winning streak. They’ll find out Sunday if the selection committee rewards them with one of the four top seeds.

It was quite an anniversary party for the Wildcats.

A week after they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their first Big East Tournament crown, they duplicated the feat.

Somewhere, former star

Kerry Kittles was probably wearing high socks and smiling.

Of course, it’s been 30 years since Villanova’s stunning upset of Georgetown to win the NCAA championship — so consider that the next anniversary the Wildcats would like to mark by replicating the achievement.

Jalen Reynolds and Dee Davis each scored 13 points to pace the Musketeers, who were trying to beat the top three seeds in the tournament. Instead, they looked tired and ragged, missing point-blank shots throughout the night.

No. 11 Notre Dame beats No. No. 4 Villanova routs Xavier 19 UNC 90-82 to win ACC title 69-52 for 2nd BE tourney title

Notre Dame’s Jerian Grant celebrates after an NCAA college basketball game against North Carolina in the championship of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Greensboro, N.C., Saturday.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — The horn had barely sounded when Notre Dame coach Mike Brey walked right to Jerian Grant and wrapped him up in a huge hug as the rest of the players rushed by them onto the court.

Moments later, Brey was pumping his fist again and again before snipping the final strand of the net hanging from the rim.

The Fighting Irish had come to Tobacco Road, beaten two of its bluebloods and walked away with the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

Grant scored 24 points and No. 11 Notre Dame took over with a 26-3 second-half run to rally past No. 19 North Carolina, 90-82 on Saturday night in the tournament final.

One night after beating No. 2 Duke, the third-seeded Irish (29-5) erased a nine-point hole

with a stunning burst that seized momentum in what amounted to a road game and sent the program to its first title in any league.

“There’s been a special vibe about this group since we came to town Monday night,” Brey said on the court as his players cut down nets. “I felt great about tonight. I felt good about last night. And for us to do it, through Duke and Carolina, on Tobacco Road, it’s just amazing.”

Pat Connaughton added 20 points as Notre Dame shot 54 percent and took over with what Brey described as a “lightning strike” of a run, with the Irish getting into a fastpaced, free-flowing attack set loose by a few ill-timed turnovers by the Tar Heels (24-11).

When it was over, Notre Dame had turned a 63-54 deficit into an 80-66 lead with 2:54 left and largely

silenced a home-state UNC crowd featuring plenty of blue in the seats.

“Just, I am a little bit in awe of what my team did tonight,” Brey said, “and really the whole weekend here.”

The Irish had been to six Big East Tournament semifinals in 18 seasons in the league but never reached the final, then bolted for the ACC before last season.

They lost 17 games while Grant missed the second half of last season after being suspended from school for an undisclosed academic violation. Grant was named tournament MVP with 10 assists and a 15-for-18 performance from the foul line.

“Just to know where I was last year, sitting in the stands watching, and now I’ve got this (championship) shirt, this hat and this trophy, it means a lot,” Grant said.

David Samuel Atwell, 91

August 30, 1923 - March 7, 2015 David Samuel Atwell passed away on March 7 in Okmulgee, OK, after a long period of declining health. His wife of 52 years, Mary (Rannels) Atwell, died in 1998. He leaves three daughters, Claudia Hernandez of White Rock, NM, Diane Lyford of North-

borough, MA, and Dona Monroe of Okmulgee, OK. He also leaves five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and brothers Eugene of Roswell, NM, and Maynard of Prescott Valley, AZ. He was predeceased by a sister, Pauline Ledbetter, and two brothers, Austin and James Lee. David was born in Clovis, NM, to Nolan and Claudia (Russell) Atwell. The family moved to Clovis in 1925 where he lived until 1960.

In Clovis he worked as an auto mechanic and shop foreman and later, in 1954, joined the New Mexico National Guard as 1st Sergeant. In 1960 he moved the family to Roswell where he was assigned by the National Guard to start a regional maintenance shop.

He managed the shop until his retirement in 1982 at the rank of WO-4.

David was an Army veteran of World War II, serving in the European theater, first as an airplane mechanic with Army Air Corps’ 445th Bomb Group in England and later with the 106th Infantry Division in France and Germany during the Battle of the Bulge.

In retirement, he enjoyed fishing, gardening, woodworking, traveling with Mary, and visiting family.

He was a member of the Roswell Elks Club and Fraternal Order of Eagles for several years. His greatest joy was his family, extend-

In about-face, Sweden offers to question Assange in London LONDON (AP) — Julian Assange and his supporters warily welcomed a surprise U-turn Friday by Swedish prosecutors, who now say they are willing to come to London to quiz the WikiLeaks founder over alleged sex crimes.

The reversal, however, doesn’t mean the anti-secrecy activist will soon be leaving the Ecuadorean embassy in London, his home and prison for almost three years.

Since 2010, Swedish prosecutors have sought to question Assange over sex allegations made by two women. Assange fought extradition through the British courts and, when that failed, holed up inside Ecuador’s small diplomatic mission. British police stand guard around the clock at the building, ready to arrest him if he steps outside.

Assange denies the allegations against him, and believes extradition to Sweden is merely a first step in efforts to remove him to the U.S., where WikiLeaks infuriated officials by publishing secret documents including 250,000 State Department cables. Former U.S. Army soldier Chelsea Manning is serving a 35-year sentence for passing those documents to WikiLeaks and the U.S. investigation into WikiLeaks is ongoing.

On Friday, Swedish prosecutors reversed their long refusal to question Assange inside his London bolt hole, citing the fiveyear statute of limitations on some of the allegations against him.

One of Assange’s defense lawyers, Per Samuelson, called the about-face “a great victory for Julian Assange,” and indicated the 43-year-old Australian would likely agree to be questioned.

A police officer stands outside of the Ecuadorean embassy in London, Friday. Swedish prosecutors on Friday offered to travel to London to question WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been living at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012.

“This is something we’ve demanded for over four years,” Samuelson told The Associated Press after speaking to Assange on Friday.

“Julian Assange wants to be interviewed so he can be exonerated.”

Sweden ordered Assange’s arrest in August 2010. He has not been formally indicted, but he faces allegations of rape, sexual molestation and illegal coercion involving two women.

The latter two allegations expire after five years, rape after 10 years.

Lead Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny said the looming deadline had prompted her change of mind.

“My view has always been that to perform an interview with him at the Ecuadorean embassy in London would lower the quality of the interview,

and that he would need to be present in Sweden in any case should there be a trial in the future,” Ny said in a statement.

“Now that time is of the essence, I have viewed it therefore necessary to accept such deficiencies in the investigation and likewise take the risk that the interview does not move the case forward.”

It was unclear how soon a prosecutor could come to London.

Ny said she had asked Assange’s legal team on Friday if she could interview him in London and have his DNA sample taken with a swab. She said permission was also being sought from Ecuadorean authorities.

“We cannot say when we will go there,” Rosander said. “We cannot make any guesses, because it depends on circumstances that are outside our

reach. We need to get a go-ahead from the British and the Ecuadorean authorities.”

Britain’s Foreign Office said it was “ready to assist the Swedish prosecutor as required.” British officials would be overjoyed to see a resolution to the stalemate, which has cost taxpayers $15 million in police costs.

Britain has previously said “voluntarily providing a statement or taking part in an interview are issues which should be agreed between the Swedish prosecutor, Mr. Assange and the Ecuadorean Embassy.”

Ecuador’s Foreign Minister, Ricardo Patino, said Ecuador had offered to have Assange questioned when he arrived at the embassy years ago.

Islamic State, Boko Haram announce pact JOHANNESBURG (AP) — It sounds chilling: two of the world’s most powerful extremist movements, one in the Middle East and the other in Africa, team up to spread their harsh brand of Islamic rule.

The quick acceptance by the so-called Islamic State of Boko Haram’s pledge of fealty is a publicity boost, and comes at a time when both are suffering combat losses. Boko Haram militants in Nigeria and the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, 2,000 miles away, might declare joint operations, possibly using an IS affiliate in chaotic Libya as a bridge to move arms and fighters. But whether they can effectively do that is very much in question.

What is certain is that recent developments, including the newly declared alliance, have deepened the internationalization of the almost 6-year-old Nigerian conflict.

Multinational efforts to crush the West African militants echo the disparate array of forces, including U.S. air power and Iran-backed Shiite militias, which are fighting the Islamic State group.

Already, forces from Chad, Cameroon and Niger are waging an offensive against Boko Haram.

On top of that, Nigeria acknowledged late Thursday that it is getting help from regional security operatives amid reports that South African and other foreign contractors are in the fight against Boko Haram.

One South African security contractor was killed during operations earlier this week in the Maiduguri area in northeast Nigeria, where Boko Haram is active, according to South African media. Nigeria has

not commented directly on the role of any South African contractors, some of whom are believed to be veterans of the apartheid-era security forces. A number of those veterans worked for the now-defunct Executive Outcomes, a private military outfit from South Africa that played a role in conflicts in Sierra Leone, Angola and other African countries in the 1990s.

France said it will slightly increase its troop numbers by the end of the year in the Sahel, which includes the Lake Chad region where most of the fighting between Boko Haram and soldiers from Nigeria and neighboring countries is taking place.

“We do not intend to take part in the fighting,” French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said this week. France currently has 3,000 troops involved in Operation Barkhane, a campaign against Islamic extremists in the region.

The Islamic State group was quick to accept Boko Haram’s allegiance on Thursday, in contrast to slower deliberation on the pledges of other militants, some of whom abandoned al-Qaida affiliates to do so.

Boko Haram’s pledge stirred fresh debate about whether Islamic State is extending its global reach.

Nigerian extremists have been weakened recently by the multinational force and the Islamic State group is also under pressure from Iraqi troops and allied Shiite militias that have swept into the Iraqi city of Tikrit.

One analyst downplayed the idea of “any kind of organizational linkage” between Boko Haram and the Islamic State group.

Egypt rakes billions in Gulf aid that boosts its president SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Egypt raked in promises of more than $12 billion in investment and aid from its Gulf Arab allies on Friday, kicking off an international conference aimed at rescuing the country’s gutted economy and giving a political boost to its soldier-turned-president.

The three-day gathering in the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh is meant to show the world Egypt is open for business again to draw investors after four years of instability and turmoil that followed the 2011 Arab Spring uprising that ousted longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi made his case for the world’s support, depicting Egypt as vital to regional stability and a bulwark against Islamic militancy.

“Egypt has and will always be the first line of defense against the dangers faced by the region,” el-Sissi, wearing a dark suit and a purple tie, said to one of many rounds of applause that interrupted his 26-minute address.

Some 1,500 delegates from more than 50 nations were in attendance.

The gathering of royals, heads of state, top international officials and businessmen was also an opportunity for el-Sissi to put behind him criticism over the military’s 2013 ouster of Egypt’s elected president, Islamist Mohammed Morsi.

Since the ouster — which was led by el-Sissi, then head of the military — the government has cracked down hard on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists, with hundreds killed and thousands imprisoned. It has also targeted secular and liberal activists. At the same time, Egyptian security forces have been battling a growing Islamic militant insurgency, mainly centered in

the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, addressing the conference, made a strong show of support for Egypt, with only a glancing reference to rights concerns and a call for more transparency.

“This part of the world is blessed with a stunning amount of commercial potential,” Kerry said at an American Chamber of Commerce event prior to the opening of the conference.

The U.S., however, still cannot restore hundreds of millions of dollars in suspended military aid to Egypt, as el-Sissi has sought, because the Obama administration is undecided about whether to affirm Egypt’s progress on democracy and human rights or issue a national security waiver. It must do one or other under the 2015 federal budget to unblock the aid.

El-Sissi outlined to delegates his economic recovery plan, saying he wanted to see at least six percent annual GDP growth within the next five years, up from around 2 percent currently, and reduce unemployment from its current 13 percent to about 10 percent. He also promised fair taxation and lower inflation.

The conference opening saw a swift series of pledges from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, continuing a flood of some $30 billion in largesse they have provided since el-Sissi led the ouster of Morsi, keeping the economy afloat.

Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah announced that his oilrich nation would invest $4 billion in Egypt. Next at the podium was the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Muqrin, who announced another $4 billion in aid to Egypt.

Another $4 billion in aid and investments came from

the United Arab Emirates.

“To stand by Egypt is to breathe life into the future of the (Arab) nation,” the UAE’s prime minister and ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, told the assembly.

T h e U A E m i n is t e r o f state, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, who has been a driving force between Egypt’s economic program, told AP in an email that his country’s focus is on development and creating jobs.

“A successful Egypt represents the critical pivot point around which to build a prosperous, tolerant and stable region,” he said.

Oman also pledged $500 million, half aid and half investment, over the next five years.

The cash gives Egypt much-needed breathing room while it grapples with its economic woes, like costly state subsidies, an ailing tourism sector and fiscal deficits.

But the crucial question from the conference will be whether Egypt can convince investors who fled the chaos since 2011 to return so it can move off the largesse from Arab petro-giants.

At the gathering, Egyptian officials are putting forward a menu of projects — including a plan to develop industrial zones around the Suez Canal.

Also announced was an ambitious project to build an entirely new capital for the country, adjacent to Cairo, to relieve congestion in the metropolis of around 18 million people.

This Jan. 20 picture shows a woman lighting a candle outside the kosher grocery where Amedy Coulibaly killed four people in a terror attack, in Paris.

Two charged over links to Paris gunman

PARIS (AP) — Two men with ties to one of the three gunmen who terrorized Paris were handed preliminary charges Friday, the Paris prosecutor said, describing hundreds of texts, regular meetings and DNA recovered from a stun gun among the belongings at a bloodied kosher supermarket.

The two men, identified as Amar R. and Said M., were given preliminary charges for participation in a terrorist group with the intent to commit crime.

Prosecutors said Amar R., a jailhouse acquaintance of Paris terrorist Amedy Coulibaly, had exchanged more than 600 texts with Coulibaly from September to January and met him on Jan. 5 and Jan 6. That was just a day before two brothers killed 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper in Paris on Jan. 7 and before Coulibaly shot dead a policewoman on Jan. 8 and killed four of his hostages on Jan. 9 at a Paris kosher grocery store.

DNA from Said M. was recovered from a stun gun in Coulibaly’s belongings at the market, the prosecutor said.

Said M. and Amar R.

contacted each other more than 1,200 times between February 2014 and January 2015 and saw each other regularly, the prosecutor said. The statement said the two men destroyed their telephone microchips on Jan. 9, the day Coulibaly and brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi were killed in separate standoffs with French security forces.

Two other people taken into custody at the same time, including a policewoman who was in a relationship with one of the suspects, were released, the prosecutor said. They had also been suspected of links with Coulibaly.

Europe 1 radio reported that the kosher grocery was expected to reopen Sunday for the first time since the attacks. The printing office where the Kouachi brothers holed up for hours before coming out shooting at police remains closed.

In a posthumous video, Coulibaly claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group, but it is not known who edited and released the footage on the Internet.

His widow left France days before the attacks and is believed to be in Syria.

Ukraine’s grinding war stains childhood KHARTSYZK, Ukraine (AP) — Seryozha colors in his drawing of a tank, lost in thought. Like many 7-year-olds in eastern Ukraine, he has trouble recalling a time before the war.

“They’ve always been shooting,” he says, vigorously scratching with the brightest of pencils.

Yelena Nikulenko, the director of the children’s home in the rebel-held town of Khartsyzk, says kids like Seryozha have been let down twice.

First orphaned or abandoned by their parents, they were then dumped by their new families when the Ukrainian government stopped paying benefits to foster families in separatist-controlled areas.

“On top of that, you have the war, the shelling, the fear,” Nikulenko says. “It will be a scar for the rest of their lives, that’s for sure.”

The conflict that erupted in Ukraine last year between government troops and Russian-backed separatists has claimed at least 6,000 lives and displaced nearly 1.8 million people.

The United Nations Children’s Fund estimates that 1.7 million children on both sides of the front line have been harmed through lack of proper shelter, nutrition, medicine or schooling.

Children struggle to understand what is going on around them, and why.

Fighting has abated drastically since a new cease-fire came into effect last month, but the suffering, loneliness and terror remain.

In the government-held town of Popasna, 45 miles north of the children’s home, only a few people walk along deserted streets between apartments gutted by rocket fire, a grim con-

One of those destroyed homes belongs to Tatyana Belash, who has now taken shelter in a basement with her 3-year old daughter, Zlata.

As the adults talk politics, Zlata, a shy girl with blonde pigtails, darts around the basement cluttered with battered mattresses. Asked about the shelling, Zlata shies away and seeks comfort in stroking her cat.

“When we first came here, she kept saying: ‘Let’s go home!’” Belash says.

“I couldn’t explain to her that we couldn’t go home because there was fighting going on.”

Children in the Ukraine-controlled village of Chermalyk play war and scuttle in and out of the craters made by falling Grad rockets.

As 11-year old Tolik Tokar shimmies into one crater, his head disappears from view. Then he raises his head and pretends to

shoot at the baddies: the separatists.

The boys take aim with make-believe guns fashioned from sticks — but Tokar has seen shooting first-hand, not just in play.

“When shelling was raging, we went to check it out, and then they opened fire on me,” Tokar says, stammering as he tells his tale. “The bullets tore through the cloth on my shoulder here and flew past.”

A few dozen kilometers away on the rebel side, children play the same games — but with roles reversed. There, Ukrainian soldiers are the bogeymen, with “Nazi” one of the favorite slurs.

The 22 children under Nikulenko’s tutelage, in Khartsyzk, are some of the most vulnerable anywhere in the war-wracked region, and she asks that they be identified only by their first names.

Iraq militia leader hails Iran’s ‘unconditional’ support

TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) — The U.S. has failed to live up to its promises to help Iraq fight Islamic State extremists, unlike the “unconditional” assistance being given by Iran, the commander of Iraq’s powerful Shiite militias alleged Friday.

In a battlefield interview near Tikrit, where Iraqi forces are fighting to retake Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the militants of the so-called Islamic State, commander Hadi al-Amiri criticized those who “kiss the hands of the Americans and get nothing in return.”

Iraqi forces entered Tikrit for the first time Wednesday from the north and south. On Friday, they waged fierce battles to secure the northern neighborhood of Qadisiyya and lobbed mortar shells and rockets into the city center, still in the hands of IS militants. Iraqi military officials have said they expect to reach central Tikrit in two to three days.

The Iranian-backed Shiite militias have played a crucial role in regaining territory from the Sunni extremists of the Islamic State group, supporting Iraq’s embattled military and police forces.

An Iraqi government official told The Associated Press that Iran has sold Baghdad nearly $10 billion in arms and hardware, mostly weapons for urban warfare like assault rifles, heavy machine-guns and rocket launchers. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

In November, President Barack Obama authorized the deployment of up to 1,500 more U.S. troops to bolster Iraqi forces, which could more than double the total of American forces in Iraq to 3,100. The Penta-

King Philip arrives and guests question the King. They asked when his little sister would marry Prince John and when the King is going to announce the official crown prince. From left: Megan Owens as Princess Alais, Philip Folts as Prince John, Zack Anderson as the French King Philip, Boyd Barrett as King Henry II and Robin Haynes as Prince Geoffrey.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor Roswell Community Little Theatre is bringing the tale of a very wicked, funny, charming and deeply dysfunctional family to stage.

The play is called “The Lion in Winter” and depicts the personal, and political conflicts of Henry II of England.

“This family story can compare with problems of any family in any time – it speaks to me. And we all just really loved the fast and witty dialogue,” said Lynette Zuber, director.

As many others, she encountered the 1966 play by James Goldman first in the famous 1968 movie adaptation with aging Kathrine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole.

Lynette Zuber is wellknown at the Roswell Community Little Theatre as an actress, stage manager, light and sound virtuoso, director and assistant director. Past plays she directed were “Noises Off” and the youth summer play “The Odyssey.”

In a modern divorced family arguments fly.

Which child will get the upgrade to iPhone 6 and

which one gets the handme-downs? In the 12th century, Christmas 1183 to be exact, arguments between royal separated parents and their children will lead to who will rule the country, who will marry the mistress of the King and who gets which part of the inherited provinces Aquitane and Vexin.

Will it be the spoiled father’s favorite — pimple faced 16-year-old brat John (played by Philip Folts), or mother’s darling — bully and arrogant fighter Richard (played by William Atkinson), or will the devilish smart scheming middle child Geoffrey get the upper hand?

Most will know Prince John and Richard out of history books as the infamous side-characters to the fictitious story of “Robin Hood.” While Prince John and Richard Lionheart were real historical figures, author James Goldman’s script is pure fiction. No documents about the royal families’ disputes survived the Middle Ages, an era of war and bloodshed.

Their facts of life, their achievements and failures are documented, and it does not take a lot

of imagination to see the dialogues as believable, channeled through time and space. The facts of love, feuds and life speak for themselves, and the modern, fast dialogue translates the events into our time.

Imagine the Dark Ages, where women were believed to have no soul, to just be birth-givers of the next generation and a vessel to transfer funds and land in marriage contracts; one woman arises with power, wealth and a mind of her own: Eleonore of Aquitane. She becomes queen of France and accompanies her husband into war (scandalously bare-chested with her ladies as Amazons) into the first crusade to free Jerusalem.

The crusade was a failure, her husband divorces her because she did not give him an heir and what does she do?

She sets her sights on the much younger, good looking warrior, who was in line for the throne of England — Henry — and within two months marries him. A match made for gain, power and passion — perhaps even See LION, Page C2

Royal Family KIDS Camp to come to Roswell

Staff Report

Six local churches have teamed up to host the first Royal Family KIDS camp in New Mexico this July.

The Royal Family KIDS Camps have been providing positive, life-giving experiences for abused and neglected foster children around the country. While 38 other states have hosted RFK camps for years, New Mexico never has.

Carrie-Leigh Cloutier and the Chaves County CASA team are helping identify approximately 35 foster children ages 7-11 who would greatly benefit from this special life-changing camp experience. The goal of Royal Family KIDS Camps is to create positive-childhood

memories in a safe and loving environment at no cost to the child, foster family or social workers.

Most summer camps function with a 1 to 8 counselor to camper ratio but at Royal Family Kids Camp, where the kids need much more adult attention, the ratio is 1 to 2.

Counselors and camp staff volunteers are thoroughly screened to ensure safety and are rigorously trained to create the most encouraging environment possible. Because of the higher counselor-to-kid ratio, the average cost for each child is higher than other camps. In addition to the cost of room, board and transportation, many of the kids arrive at camp without basic necessities

Extra funds are raised to ensure that no child goes without and all have everything that they need for a fun and fulfilling camp experience.

Last year in Chaves County alone, there were over 1,400 referrals of child abuse to social services. If nothing is done, the cycle will continue and the number of referrals will only increase. The RFK Camp plants seeds of hope by sharing unconditional

love and Biblical truths in an environment where kids create positive childhood memories.

Camp Directors Jacob and Laura Roebuck along with Assistant Director Heather Bullock are looking for volunteers and donations to ensure that New Mexico’s first Royal Family KIDS Camp is a success.

The camp will be July 19-24, but before that, there will be a kickoff event at Galaxy 8 April 2.

The movie “CAMP,” produced by Jacob Roebuck, will be shown at 6 p.m.

Admission is $25 and people will receive dinner. Royal Family KIDS Founder Wayne Tesch and child abuse survivor and now camp counselor Samantha Orr will also be at the event to speak.

Cinderella pageant set for April 25 Submitted

The Roswell Cinderella Scholarship Pageant is looking for contestants to compete in its upcoming program April 25.

The Cinderella Program was founded in 1976, and has grown into the largest and most prestigious scholarship oriented pageant system of its kind in the world, and has awarded millions of dollars in cash college scholarships on the international level.

Cinderella is based on a three-tiered system of competitions. Participants start out on the Local level, then

can advance to the State level of competition and then proceed to the final level of competition, the International Pageant.

In Cinderella we are searching for a natural, unaffected young lady to represent our program. We are not looking for young girls to be “made up” like women. In Cinderella we are truly looking for the All American Girl. Cinderella does not place emphasis on physical beauty, but rather seeks to promote the beautiful inner person that should reside in everyone.

The pageant is open to

females from infant up to 26 years of age, and our P r i n c e C h a r m i n g D i v ision is open to males from Infant to 6 years of age.

love. Together they rise as Queen and King of England.

The play starts at the zenith of Henry II’s reign.

Only a few years earlier, Henry II had banned and imprisoned his wife Eleonore for her role in a plot against him. Henry II is played by Boyd Barrett, who gives his character the fierceness and strength it deserves as an aging but strong ruler with countless weaknesses, especially sweet young Alais (played by charming Megan Owens), half-sister of the young King of France.

It is a delight to see Megan Owens in her role wrapping the King around her little finger and him falling for her to make her

Queen instead of marrying her off to John, whom he wants as the next king. He needs to outwit not only his wife Queen Eleonore (played by graceful and fiery Donna Paul), his son Richard, whom he promises Alais to keep from plotting against him, and all of his sons plotting to topple him and take the throne for themselves.

It is hard to believe that Paul’s performance is her first since high school.

Watching her performing as the beautiful and powerful Queen Eleonore, balancing the loving character of mother, the plotting politician and scorned queen and wife shows amazing skill and is a pure joy to watch.

William Atkinson, Prince Richard the Lionheart, seems to have stepped out of the popular TV show “Game of

Thrones.” William makes his character fully believable as warrior and as a much, much darker character with potential for leadership and for destruction.

His counterpart is his little brother, “Poor John,” played by Phillip Folts with just the right neediness and self-pity, being the “baby” of the family, and on the other hand showing first signs of being power hungry that comes from being born into such a manipulative family.

Robin Harnes portrays Prince Geoffrey, the middle child. A difficult role, compared to the vivid characters of Richard and John, Haynes manages it with control of his voice and body language, convincing John that his father preferred Richard as King – of course

and embarrassed. I feel like my wife was talking about me and my family behind my back.

Barb insisted she was just poking fun at the situation. If that was the case, I should have been involved in the "fun."

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I feel like my trust and friendship have been violated.

Am I overreacting?

LEFT OUT IN INDIANA

DEAR ABBY: My wife, "Barb," and I have been married for 21 years, and like any married couple, we've had our ups and downs. We recently visited my mom, a widow in her 80s. Barb caught a cold while we were there and needed to stay in bed while Mom and I visited family.

I noticed Mom was letting the cleanliness of her bathroom go, but Barb and I never discussed it. When we got home, our good neighbor friends told me that Barb had texted them a photo of Mom's bathroom while we were away. I was shocked

DEAR LEFT OUT: Because this isn't the first time your wife has done something like this, and I presume you have let her know how you felt about it, I don't think you're overreacting.

Talk to your mother to see if there's a reason she's unable to keep up with her housework. She may need to be evaluated by her doctor to make sure she's OK. If something is wrong with her, it is not the least bit "funny." In fact, for your wife to subject your mother to ridicule is hostile. It's time to find out what's at the

Dear Abby

root of your wife's antics.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my 30-year-old boyfriend, "Jonah," for a year. He seems to be obsessively addicted to a computer video game he has played for five years. He plays many hours a day — first thing in the morning, last thing at night and all his free time in between — although he willingly goes on outings with me when I ask.

Even when Jonah isn't on his computer playing the game, he reads the discussion forums online with his mobile device. It's affecting our relationship. It also doesn't help that he recently lost his job.

I don't like seeing him waste his time on this and his lack of ambition about the important things in life. What can I do to help Jonah, or is this normal?

GAME OVER IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR GAME OVER: When a hobby interferes

with relationships, it is not "normal." Exactly when did Jonah become "obsessively addicted"?

Was he this way when you met him? If this has been going on for the entire year you have been together, your boyfriend may be more comfortable in the cyber world than in this one. However, if this escalated when he lost his job, the video game may be his attempt to cope with depression.

Jonah would be better served by devoting the attention he's lavishing on the game to finding a job. If you want to help him, suggest that he spend more of his time in the real world until his life is settled again — and tell him that if he's depressed, he should talk about it to his doctor.

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 at DearAbby.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, about trash bins being left out: "We have a mandatory homeowners association in my neighborhood. One of the rules is that trash bins are not to be left out for extended periods of time or left visible (like out by the garage). It really irks me when I see some of the bins by the garage instead of inside the garage or fence. It is even worse when I see trash or recycling bins left by the curb days after pickup day. It doesn't make our neighborhood look very nice."

A.H., via email This can be annoying, especially for those who follow the rules. The diplomatic way is to bring up this subject at a homeowners meeting.

Then the association can contact the homeowner.

For Better or For Worse

HHHHH

Dear Readers: Here are other uses for empty tissue boxes: * Keep ribbon and bows in one. * Place one on the dryer to put used dryer sheets and lint in. * Use as storage for all your plastic grocery bags. * Put in a car and use as a trash can. * Let kids use for their small toys.

HHHHH

Dear Heloise: We moved into a new house, and the grout in the shower could use some cleaning up. Do you have any hints to help it look nicer?

Isabelle in Texas Isabelle, congratulations on your new home. I'll share the HELOISE grout-cleaner recipe so you (and other readers) can get the shower-stall grout clean.

For this recipe, you will need 1/4 cup of borax, 1/2 cup of baking soda and warm water, just enough to make a thick paste. Use an old toothbrush or something similar, apply the paste to the grout and gently scrub with a soft brush. Let sit for 20-30 minutes, then rinse.

To help keep the grout clean, be sure to leave the shower door or curtain open so there is no moisture to affect the grout! Have cleaning problems in your new home?

Or want to know how to keep your home looking like new? Order my pamphlet Heloise's Homemade Cleaning Solutions to learn all my hints! To receive, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To order online, go to Heloise.com. Have dirty cleaning rags? Wash them in the washing machine (by themselves) to get them clean Heloise

HHHHH

Dear Heloise: I read how one mom uses leftover hamburger buns for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We apply butter and garlic or spices to them. Slice them after toasting, then cut into strips. They complement spaghetti dishes or other meals where garlic bread would be welcome.

Jay in Houston Dear Heloise: To easily remove candle wax from candlesticks, stick them in the freezer for an hour or so. When I take them out, the candle wax easily pops off the candlesticks.

‘Citizen Kane’ plays at Hearst Castle’s private theater SAN SIMEON, Calif. (AP) — For some movie buffs, showing Orson Welles’ acclaimed film “Citizen Kane” at Hearst Castle is like having a screening of “Star Wars” on the Death Star.

Fifty film fans had the opportunity to watch Welles’ 1941 groundbreaking film partly based on the late William Randolph Hearst at the media tycoon’s own private theater at Hearst Castle, a concession the magnate would probably not have made.

The screening Friday with a price tag of $1,000 was part of the San Luis Obispo Film Festival. It included an exclusive tour of the estate, which is now a state park, and a reception on the mansion’s patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It will benefit the nonprofit Friends of Hearst Castle, a preservation group.

Welles’ cinema classic was shown before in the Hearst Castle’s visitor center in 2010, but this was the first time the film was screened in the opulent, 50-seat theater at the hill-

top estate.

Great-grandson Stephen Hearst, the vice president and general manager of Hearst Corp.’s Western Properties, gave his blessing to the festival to screen the film both times. He didn’t attend, but said he saw it as an opportunity to show the differences between his great-grandfather and Charles Foster Kane, the character played

by Welles.

“My logic back then was very simple, this was an opportunity to clarify the record, to draw the distinction between the fictional character of Charlie Kane and his gloomy Xanadu and WR Hearst and his beautiful architectural masterpiece at the top of the hill at San Simeon,” Stephen Hearst said.

William Randolph Hearst sought to derail the movie, which portrayed the rise and fall of an obsessively controlling media mogul, but the film went on to win an Academy Award in 1942 for best original screenplay and is now considered one of the greatest American films. The film, a searing critique of a news-

This Oct. 23, 2006, file photo, shows "La Cuesta Encantada," The Enchanted Hill, the legendary home now best known as Hearst Castle, built by publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst in San Simeon, Calif. paper magnate, has many similarities to Hearst’s life.

But Stephen Hearst said the screening, which was hosted by Ben Mankiewicz,

the grandson of Herman Mankiewicz, who co-wrote the “Citizen Kane” screenplay, was an opportunity to draw the distinctions

between William Randolph Hearst’s life and Welles’ fiction.

“I view it as clarifying the record, and showing

what an extraordinary human being WR was and what he accomplished in his life,” Stephen Hearst said.

Alleged Cosby victim testifies before Nevada Legislature

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A woman who says Bill Cosby victimized her decades ago asked Nevada lawmakers on Friday to support a bill removing the state’s statute of limitations on sexual assault — a provision that prevented her from pursuing a criminal case against the comedian.

Lise-Lotte Lublin, 48, fought through tears while telling lawmakers she passed out in the Las Vegas Hilton in 1989 after Cosby gave her two alcoholic drinks.

The for mer model said she remembers Cosby stroking her hair, and then she woke up at home.

It was only after hearing similar allegations from other women that she concluded something happened to her while she was unconscious. She said she filed a police report on the incident in January, but was told Cosby couldn’t be charged because too much time had passed. So she and her husband went to the bill’s sponsor and urged her to draft the legislation.

“I want to empower victims, period,” Lublin said, “regardless of what happens for me.”

Cosby’s publicist, David Brokaw, did not immediately respond to an email message seeking comment on Friday. More

than 20 women have stepped forward in recent months to level various accusations against Cosby, ranging from unwanted advances to sexual assault and rape. Cosby has not been charged with a crime and has denied some of the allegations through his attorneys.

Las Vegas police have investigated “more than one” complaint against Cosby, but couldn’t confirm if Lublin filed a police report due to department policy, said department spokeswoman Officer Laura Meltzer. None of the complaints have led to criminal charges, she said.

Nevada law dictates that sexual

assault charges cannot be filed more than four years after the alleged incident. The bill would remove that restriction and bring sexual assault in line with murder and terrorism as crimes without a statute of limitations.

Democratic Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, who is sponsoring the bill, said the legislation would help sexual assault victims who often face severe emotional and social trauma and can take years to feel comfortable before filing a report with police.

Vanessa Spinazola, a lobbyist for the ACLU of Nevada, said statutes of limitations help ensure cases are reviewed before

witnesses die and memories fade.

“They permit both the prosecution and the defense to try the case before evidence is stale,” Spinazola said. “As more time lapses, it becomes increasingly difficult for the accused to prepare a meaningful defense.”

Attorney Lisa Rasmussen said there’s an unlimited statute of limitations for prosecuting a sexual assault when a police report is filed within four years of the incident.

“You also have to think about whether or not you would want to be in a position where someone is saying ‘35 years ago, someone did this to me,’” Rasmussen said.
