Legislative session ends in political meltdown

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer A legislative train wreck unfolded at the state Capitol Saturday as state lawmakers were unable to reach an agreement on an annual capital outlay bill by the noon deadline of the state legislative session, answering the looming question of whether leaders of the first Republican-controlled House in decades and leaders of the Democrat-controlled Senate would be able to reach compromises on big issues.

A visibly agitated Gov. Susana Martinez said shortly after the session she had “no plans at this

time” to call for a special session for lawmakers to re-consider the annual capital outlay bill, known at the Roundhouse as the “Christmas tree bill,” because it allocates funding to each House and Senate district for brick-and-mortar projects.

The end result, about $270 million for projects requested by state legislators, including $6.4 million for Chaves County, will not be funded.

The governor said she and the House were shut out of the formation of the capital outlay bill proposed by the Senate.

“They sent over a Senate

capital outlay that spent all $270 million without the input of the House or the executive, and that’s never happened before,” Martinez said Saturday afternoon during a news conference shortly after the adjournment of the 60-day session.

Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh said the city’s top capital outlay request was for state funding to assist the city in building an $8 million hangar at Roswell International Air Center large enough to accommodate the largest American airline, a wide-body Boeing 747-8.

“That was our No. 1 project,” the mayor said Satur-

day night. “Obviously, I’m disappointed. We had some projects that the city had put forward to improve the quality of life here. We will have to figure out other ways to fund these critical projects.”

A bill offered by state Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell, that would have placed New Mexico on daylight saving time year-round failed to make it to the House floor Saturday, ending the bill’s prospects.

Child obesity rates down, reports DOH

Staff Report

A portion of New Mexico kids are getting healthy, in a nutshell.

Obesity rates among third graders have declined more than 20 percent since 2010, while for kindergartners the body mass index data are lower than in 2010, according to the state Department of Health.

In 2010, the obesity rate for New Mexico’s third-grade students was 22.6 percent; that figure dropped to 18.1 for last year, the report showed.

For body mass index, which the state started measuring in 2010, that statistic dropped from 13.2 percent to 11.6 percent.

“By transforming the environment and expanding opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity, Healthy Kids New Mexico and its state and local partners are improving the health of New Mexico’s children as well as the health of the families and communities in which they live, learn and play,” said Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward.

In Chaves County, an agency and schools have focused on several projects with kids that increase opportunity for physical activity and healthy eat-

ing. The 5,580 elementary school students in the county are given access to and encouraged to eat fresh fruit and vegetables from a salad bar.

Healthy Kids Chaves County has worked closely with Lyman Graham, the food service director for the Roswell and Dexter school districts. Before 2012, there were no salad bars in Chaves County schools and now half the schools offer salad bars, including all the schools in the Dexter and Roswell districts.

In Lake Arthur, schools have a “Fruity Tuesday” when fruit is sold to the students instead of sugar-filled snacks.

On the exercise side, student-participation numbers are up in the Walk and Roll to School program and walking-club functions at the Roswell Independent School District. The walkto-school program has a 67-percent participation figure this year, while seven of 12 elementary schools have walking clubs.

The Healthy Kids 5210 Challenge has drawn a 33-percent participation rate among third graders in RISD. The program, in its fourth year, is an education See OBESITY, Page A3

Brig. Gen. Richard Geraci has been a part of the New Mexico Military Institute family for 40 years, with the last 10 1 / 2 years as commandant.

But when the 2015-16 school year comes around, he will not be renewing his contract.

As a teen, Geraci said he heard about NMMI through the Air Force Academy.

Geraci said he had wanted to play football. NMMI seemed like the perfect choice for him because of Bronco football.

“We had contacted the football coach to see if there was an opportunity for me to come down and

the 300 block of East Sixth

responded to a house fire in Street around 2:15 p.m. Saturday. EMS personnel said no one was inside the house.

The fire appeared to be fully contained when the Daily Record arrived, and most of the damage appeared Geraci play Bronco football and also start prepping for the Air Force Academy,” Geraci said.

He made the move from New York to Roswell and See GERACI, Page A3

A truck from Xcel Energy was at the scene to turn off electricity to the house, and firefighters at the scene said fire investigators were on the way.

Scholarships available for graduating students

Bikes and barbecue

Staff Report

Republican students in Chaves County have the opportunity to receive a $500 scholarship.

The scholarships, for high school seniors and home-schooled seniors, are being given away by the Chaves County Republican Women. Two $500 will be given away May 20 at the Chaves County Republican Women’s luncheon.

It is the second year the scholarships have been given away, said Joan Boue, president of Chaves County Republican Women.

“We feel very strongly that higher education is important,” she said. “We want to somehow help the students here in Chaves County.”

To apply for the scholarships all students must fill out an application, which

can be obtained by emailing chavescounty.republicanwomen@gmail.com.

Students who are 18 must be registered to vote as a Republican and must submit a copy of their voter registration card with the application. Students who are not registered to vote must get a copy of one of their parents’ voter registration cards and attach it to the application.

With the application students must also attach a resume, two letters of reference and a photo.

Scholarships, Boue said, can be used for anything from room and board to books and tuition. Students who are interested in the scholarship must be attending a college for the 2015-16 school year.

Applications must be turned in by April 10 to No. 2 Granite Court, Roswell.

Carlsbad school CEO on leave during investigation

CARLSBAD (AP) — The CEO of a Carlsbad school has been put on leave while she is investigated for ethical and possibly criminal allegations.

The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that the Council of Trustees for Jefferson Montessori Academy voted Thursday night to have CEO Cynthia Holguin go on administrative leave.

Holguin is accused of giving false student counts to the New Mexico Public Education Department and threatening staff and faculty.

The council also elected to hire an outside investigator instead of forming an investigative committee that would include a teacher.

Holguin has been CEO of the K-12 school for eight years.

School principal Julie Jones was also placed on leave.

Interim Principal Eileen Montoya will oversee the school.

Meltdown

Geraci

Continued from Page A1

in schools for those who cannot read and repealing a law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses in New Mexico, were all blocked by Senate Democrats.

“Those were three key bills that would have helped our state as a whole, and they ended up languishing over there in the Senate,” said state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell.

The Republican governor said Senate Democrats dragged their feet and intentionally killed GOP proposals.

“Unfortunately, this session ended in the same fashion it operated from Day 1,” Martinez said from her fourth-floor office shortly after the session ended at noon. “Senate Democrats chose to obstruct, they chose to delay. They chose gridlock.

They chose partisanship and they chose not to compromise.”

The governor laid the failure of the capital outlay bill at the feet on Senate Democrats. House Republicans initially passed a capital outlay bill and sent the bill to the Senate. The Senate version of the bill was debated on the House floor for about three hours Saturday before it passed the House with about 15 minutes left in the session.

The Senate, however, did not consider the House version before the noon adjournment.

“Based just on their inaction this morning, they killed jobs all over the state,” the governor said.

“They killed infrastructure projects in every single corner of the state. They killed critical highway projects.

They killed measures that would have made it easier for start-up companies to hire. They killed measures that would have brought more headquarters to our state and killed measures that would have led to more technology jobs in New Mexico. All of that was killed this morning. It was a gross failure of leadership in the Senate and it is really disappointing.”

Martinez said Senate leaders displayed “rampant partisanship” and “constant gridlock, delays and feet-dragging.”

“And they did that on many critical issues where the public has signaled

overwhelming support,” the governor said. “The public overwhelmingly believes that workers should be able to chose whether or not to join a union or to contribute to one. The House did its job with that legislation, but the Senate obstructed and they refused to compromise.”

Martinez said New Mexicans also overwhelmingly support ending the tradition of promoting students from one grade to the next, even when they cannot read.

“And again Senate Democrat leadership delayed and refused reasonable or fair hearings, not even allowing the legislation to go to the (Senate) Education Committee,” Martinez said.

Martinez also said raising the state minimum wage has wide support in New Mexico. House Republicans attached a 50-cent-an-hour minimum wage increase to right-to-work legislation after the House’s initial right-to-work bill was rejected by Senate Democrats.

“The Senate didn’t even put forward a proposal to do that, after telling people on the first day of the session that raising the minimum wage was a top priority,” Martinez said. “Instead, they killed increases to the minimum wage multiple times.”

Martinez said Senate Democrats, who control the chamber with a 24-17 majority over Republicans, wouldn’t allow votes on GOP-backed proposals on the Senate floor and instead bottled up the proposals in committees.

Republicans won a 37-33 majority in the House in November’s elections, taking control of the House for the first time since 1954.

“And then today, they refused to honor agreements on the budget and refused throughout the session to allow any input from the House majority or the executive on capital outlay,” Martinez said.

Ezzell said Senate Democrats were intent on sending a message they do not take orders from the Republican governor. Ezzell said Senate Democrats waited until the last week of the session before considering House-passed bills in Senate committees.

“I think it was a lot of posturing going on,” Ezzell

said. “Unfortunately, it was the people of the state that were hurt.”

Ezzell, chair of the House Agriculture, Water & Wildlife Committee, said House committees considered Senate-passed bills in a timely fashion, while there was still time to compromise before the session ended. ”The House was run efficiently,” she said. “We had timely committee meetings and we took care of business. You cannot say that for the Senate side.”

House Republicans and Senate Democrats were able in the final week of the session to agree on a $6.2 billion state budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year, which begins July 1. The budget was the one legislative requirement that had to be resolved by state lawmakers during the session.

“The budget they crafted is responsible and balanced and I think it reflects the priorities of New Mexicans very well,” the governor said. “I’ll have to review it line-by-line of course, but I’m optimistic it gives us a lot of tools to help the state in the coming year.”

Martinez said her job now is to review legislation passed by the House and Senate, and to decide whether to sign or veto bills.

“So while each legislator now returns home to explain why partisanship prevented progress in Santa Fe, we’ll go to work, as we always do, to do the people’s business day after day for the rest of the year, which clearly was not done today,” the governor said.

After her news conference, the governor fielded questions from the media.

Asked by the Daily Record if she would exercise executive authority on the driver’s license or social promotion issues, Martinez said she lacked the power to do so.

“I think the Legislature has to pass a law,” the governor said. “Congress may do things differently in Washington. We don’t do things like that here.”

Asked by the Daily Record about Pirtle’s proposal to place New Mexico on daylight saving time year-round, Martinez said she did not have an opinion on the bill.

House Majority Floor Leader Nate Gentry said

Senate Majority Floor Leader Michael Sanchez “failed New Mexico,” particularly by not considering the House version of the capital outlay bill on the final day of the session.

“We tried to bring home some wins for the people of New Mexico, but Michael Sanchez and Senate Democrats were not interested in putting their personal politics aside,” Gentry said Saturday in a statement.

“As I’ve said before, Senate Democrats had the perfect opportunity to prove that they care more about our families than politics.

Unfortunately, they proved that some things never change.”

Despite the political acrimony, House Republicans and Senate Democrats were able to send several bills to the governor’s desk, including the budget, which calls for more spending on education than ever before, increased funding into programs and initiatives to protect children and more money for economic development programs.

Other bills that passed both bodies include Senate Bill 233, a worker’s compensation bill to cap the time someone may receive benefits, House Bill 213, legislation that would require child-proof packaging on all nicotine liquid products used in e-cigarettes, House Bill 101, legislation that toughens penalties for soliciting child prostitution, House Bill 174, legislation that requires cellphone and pager companies to issue Amber Alerts to their customers, and Senate Joint Resolution 19, a gaming compact that will allow several American Indian tribes to continue operating casinos for another 22 years.

played Bronco football for one year before enrolling in the Army ROTC program at NMMI. “I made the decision to come back and seek my commission in the United States Army,” he said.

After graduating NMMI, Geraci married his wife and entered the United States Army, where he worked as director, national security space architect, deputy commanding general for operations, U.S. Army space and missile defense command, chief for the space and information operations element, U.S. Space Command in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom and deputy director for joint war fighting experimentation.

Geraci said he has been through “three phases” while being part of the NMMI family. The first phase, he said, was being a cadet.

“When you’re a cadet here you’re learning how to stand on your own two feet. You’re learning how to accept responsibility and accountability for your own actions.

You’re learning how to be a leader. Most of that leader development was occurring … in the senior ROTC program,” he said.

The next phase is being a parent to a cadet. Geraci has had two sons, a niece and a nephew go through NMMI and into the service.

Geraci said that when he was a parent of a cadet, he got a “different perspective” of the school.

“The big thing is the fact that your cadet is at a boarding school making his own choices and growing up,” he said.

The third phase, Geraci said, is being an administrator at the school. Each phase, he said, has its own distinct features.

“When you’re a cadet,

A3

you’re just following the rules,” he said. “When you’re a parent, you’re only worried about your cadet. When you’re the commandant, you’re worried about 900-plus cadets every night.”

Geraci came to NMMI to be a commandant after retiring from the Army and leaving his job at the Pentagon.

“Something that a lot of folks don’t realize … when I retired from the Army, my goal was to become an educational leader,” he said.

To be the best he could be for NMMI, Geraci became a Pre-K through 12th-grade licensed administrator.

“In this environment, it’s not important I’m a retired general.

It’s important that I’m a licensed school administrator,” he said.

He said the most important thing he stresses to parents of cadets is that he knows what education is about.

“The job here is not about me. It’s about the cadets,” he said. “‘I tell cadets, ‘Find your passion and you’ll never work a day in your life.’”

Geraci, after being at NMMI for 10 1/2 years as commandant, is not retiring from the workforce.

He and his wife are relocating to the Kansas City area to be closer to family.

“I’ve already been approached for (an) educational leadership position in the Kansas City area,” Geraci said. “My plan is to continue to work in education, to continue to work in education administration.”

Geraci said he is proud to be a veteran and draws most of his energy from his students.

“I’m living the dream,” he said.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Spring in Roswell? Have I missed something?

I’m happy that winter is finally over, but a bit disappointed by this so-called spring weather we’ve been having lately.

I know Friday was the first official day of spring, so perhaps I’m being impatient. I moved to Roswell in late April and, except for a few dust storms, the weather was perfect until late May when it started to get hot. Blazing hot.

But right now, it’s like June one day and then like November the next. You see, I want to buy potted flowers to put out on my front porch, but don’t want to spend any money until I’m absolutely certain there won’t be any more nights below freezing.

During early fall last year, while daytime highs were still in the 80s, I bought a few succulent-type plants to adorn my front entrance. They all died when the freezing temps hit. What was I thinking. At least with flowers likes pansies and petunias, you know they are going to die off when the weather gets cold so there’s no disappointment when that actually happens.

I’m a Midwestern transplant — growing up 50 miles east of Chicago — so I’m used to March

Timothy Howsare Ripcord into Reality roaring in like a lion and going out like a lamb.

And even before March would begin back in Chicagoland, there’d usually be two or three days in the last week of February with lots of sunshine and temperatures in the 50s. This “prespring” weather always prompted the first perennials of the year — the crocuses — to bloom. A small event in the big picture of the world, perhaps, but seeing those pretty little purple flowers poking through the melting snow always brought a smile to my face.

If perennials like crocuses, lilies and tulips grow in Roswell, I haven’t seen any yet. In Indiana, plants grew like crazy in the spring and we’d see a lot of these big, orange lilies growing wild along the roadside.

Editorial

Obama administration as transparent as mud During a Google+ Fireside “Hangout” two years ago, President Obama claimed that his was “the most transparent administration in history.”

We are reminded of that claim as the American Society of Newspaper Editors marks the 10th anniversary of Sunshine Week, which is set aside each year to remind the American public of the importance of open government and the freedom of information.

Sunshine Week 2015 — which coincides with the birthday of James Madison, drafter of the First Amendment — occurs this year as the issue of transparency is front and center in the nation’s capital.

Hillary Clinton last week held a news conference during which she acknowledged — two years after the fact — that she maintained a secret nongovernmental email account during her tenure as President Obama’s secretary of state.

While Mrs. Clinton feigned transparency — declaring that she turned over tens of thousands of emails to the State Department, and suggesting that the emails will be made public at some unspecified time — she glossed over the fact that her staff deleted tens of thousands of emails the former secretary of state deemed strictly personal.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press last week filed a lawsuit against the State Department, attempting to force release of Mrs. Clinton’s off-book emails after several failed attempts to obtain them under the Freedom of Information Act. State Department spokesperson Alec Gerlach said that State “does its best to meet its FOIA responsibilities,” but that timely fulfillment of legal requirements under FOIA depends on “the complexity of the request.”

Then there was the lawsuit filed last week by the Competitive Enterprise Institute against the Environmental Protection Agency for “slow-walking” its 2012 FOIA request for the surreptitious emails of then-EPA administrator Lisa Jackson.

Ms. Jackson’s email scandal may be even worse than Mrs. Clinton’s.

Indeed, she set up an email account in the name of “Richard Windsor,” a fictitious employee. She used the account to communicate with high-level Obama administration officials, as well as also to secretly coordinate with outside environmental groups.

EPA said CEI’s “Windsor” request required the processing of some 120,000 records at a pace of 100 records a month. At that rate, CEI complained, its FOIA request will take 100 years to be fulfilled.

Such are the obfuscatory actions of an administration that President Obama claimed to be the most transparent in history. And the American people would be none the wiser were it not for the Fourth Estate, which, as our friends at the AP aptly put it, is the “proxy for the people.”

Chicago mayor forced into a run-off election Rahm Emanuel, current mayor of my old hometown, Chicago, is not a gentle soul.

But he’s smarter than his big-spending predecessor, Richard M. Daley, and the union pawn, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, who becomes the new mayor if he beats Emanuel in a run-off election April 7.

Emanuel was the tough Obama chief of staff who reportedly stabbed a table with a steak knife as he listed political enemies.

He relishes conflict and famously said that in politics, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” That comment scared libertarians and conservatives, who know that government usually uses crises as excuses to increase its power.

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist But here’s the surprise: Emanuel has been in crisis mode for four years now, and sometimes he made the right decisions as a result.

“Crisis” is not just political rhetoric. Mayor Daley and his predecessors pandered to a shallow public and gullible media by spending, borrowing and refinancing. Borrowing helped Daley stay in office for 12 years, but cities can’t keep borrowing the

way Chicago has.

Moody’s downgraded Chicago’s credit rating almost to junk-bond level last year because the city promised to pay billions of dollars in pensions to city workers but doesn’t have the money.

Chicago is the next Detroit.

Emanuel tried to do some sensible things. He privatized some jobs, giving private contractors a chance to prove that they do city work better than city workers do it. He closed 50 of the city’s worst schools. But he made little progress in addressing the immense pension liability.

Maybe it would have been politically impossible. The pensions are owed mostly to union teachers, cops and firemen, and none will give an

inch. Teachers union protests roused the public against Emanuel’s school closings.

“That school was the center of our neighborhood!” goes the refrain from the anti-Emanuel voters. “It provided good jobs.”

That’s probably why Emanuel was forced into a run-off election.

But bad schools should close. And some union schools were really bad.

Emanuel’s opponent in the run-off, Garcia, vocally supports the unions and joins them in opposing both pension reform and competition from charter schools at all costs.

Garcia also wants a “moratorium on charter schools.”

Getting the measles vaccine should be a no-brainer DEAR DOCTOR K: Should I vaccinate my daughter against measles?

DEAR READER: I was born before there was a measles vaccine, and I got the measles. Like most kids, I had a rash and a fever. (I’ve put a photo of the measles rash on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) And, like most kids, within one or two weeks I was back to normal.

I remember, though, that my mother seemed more worried about me than she had been when I caught other viral illnesses. She knew three things I didn’t.

First, measles could sometimes cause very serious illness (blindness, brain and lung infections), even death.

I learned later that a boy

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate down the street had developed permanent brain damage from measles several months before.

Second, there was nothing she and my father could do to protect my sister and me.

There was no vaccine.

Third, measles was very common. In the United States each year, at least 500,000 kids got measles.

Of those, nearly 50,000 were

sick enough to be hospitalized. About 1,000 became permanently injured and about 500 died.

The measles vaccine — called MMR, for measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) — was introduced in 1968, and parents breathed a sigh of relief.

Most kids got the measles shot, and by the 1990s measles had been eliminated in the U.S. Now and then a child coming to the U.S. from elsewhere would get measles, but it wouldn’t spread because kids in the U.S. were protected by the vaccine. Then things began to change.

In 2014, there were 644 reported cases of measles in the United States. That’s

because for about 20 years, a growing number of parents have been reluctant to have their children get the recommended vaccines. Some states allow refusals for personal or religious reasons.

Vaccines do two important things. First, they protect your child against disease. Second, when your child gets a measles shot, it not only protects your child; it also protects all the kids who come into contact with your child. And the measles vaccine is safe.

The measles vaccine is more than 95 percent effective, but it’s not perfect. If it’s not perfect, how did we eliminate measles? When See DR. K, Page A5

Ignoring the cobra in the house

Don’t worry, Mom. I know you don’t like snakes, I will come get my cobra next weekend.

The young man on a whim decided he wanted to travel home from college for the weekend.

He called his parents Thursday evening to let them know he was coming home, only to find out that they were headed out of town themselves Friday morning. He considered remaining at school, but with the stresses that college brings, he decided he needed to get away and was going to go home anyway.

The young man had purchased a pet cobra in his college town several months earlier. He knew his mother did not like his pet as she was deathly afraid of snakes. The young man had always wanted to bring his pet home, but his mother had denied every request he had made to do so. She told him she would freak out if she was even in the same house with the snake.

Because mom and dad were going to be gone for the weekend, the son decided he would bring his cobra home and, since his parents wouldn’t be there anyhow, they didn’t need to know his plans.

Friday after class, he put his cobra in its cage and headed out for the several-hour trip home.

The young man made the best of an empty home and enjoyed the weekend break. When he got ready to leave Sunday afternoon to be back for classes first thing on Monday he realized that he had forgotten to latch his cobra’s cage earlier in the day and that the cobra had escaped.

This had happened before in his college home, but it had not ever been a problem. He had always found his pet and gotten it back into its cage.

He began the process of looking for the cobra and he couldn’t find it. As he searched, he realized that his parents had a floor vent that the air conditioning came out of that was uncovered.

After quickly turning the house upside down, the young man determined that his cobra must have crawled into the heating

and cooling vents.

It was now early evening and he had a long trip to get back to his college campus. He had to be at classes early Monday morning, so he decided he better head back to school and he would travel home and get his cobra the next weekend. The young man knew he would miss his pet, but felt he could make it a few days without it and he headed back to school.

Late Sunday evening his parents returned home and called their son asking how his weekend went.

He told them he missed them, but had a good weekend. His parents talked about their weekend and the son talked about his.

At the end of the call, just before hanging up, the son said, “Oh, before I forget, my cobra got loose and crawled into your ventilation system. I couldn’t get it out so I just left it.

The good news is that I will be back next weekend to pick it up. Don’t worry, Mom. I know you don’t like snakes, I will come get my cobra next weekend. I love you Mom, I love you Dad, I’ll call you later in the week. Goodbye.” As he hung up the phone, mom’s eyes grew big.

How well do you think

the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”

Chicago’s corrupt political culture has little interest in letting ordinary people experience real freedom.

Have you heard of “pay to play”? It’s when politicians award contracts to businesses that pay bribes.

Bribery is illegal, but clever political manipulators reframe it in ways their lawyers can call legal. It happens everywhere, but Chicago has been famous for it. Emanuel continued the tradition — one of the things he hasn’t gotten right.

Somehow, investment firms that give money to Emanuel’s campaign win fees to manage the city’s money. Somehow, lawyers who give the right politicians money get lucrative contracts from the city.

What a coincidence!

It’s as if Chicago voters face a painful choice: waste or corruption. Day by day,

the political class milks taxpayers dry.

Once Chicago goes bankrupt, though, a judge will presumably force the city to stop throwing money to cronies, whether unions or businessmen. Pensions will have to be trimmed so that they are sustainable.

Then the rest of America will learn from Chicago’s and Detroit’s failures.

Maybe.

I’m doubtful, though, because so far, the political class didn’t learn much from Detroit, Stockton, Greece, Cuba, Venezuela or the Soviet Union.

Maybe these are people who will never learn.

But charters are a rare bright spot in the failing city.

I suppose union manipulators like Garcia worry that if more parents see how much better schools get without unions in charge, they might get other dangerous ideas.

They might demand flexibility and market-based solutions in other areas.

One of my favorite things about Chicago is the so-called “Chicago school” of economics — free market advocates such as the late Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman.

Friedman said, “a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it ... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against

Mom and Dad slept that Sunday night? How do you think their Monday went?

The cobra story makes me also think of the story about the young child who can’t sleep at night because he believes there is a monster in his closet. The snake is real, the monster is not. I am not sure it matters. Either way we have people laying in bed unable to sleep.

I think each of us live our lives with the equivalent of a snake in our ventilation system or a monster in our closet.

There is something (or somethings) bigger than each of us that defines our lives. It is something that causes us to be anxious.

To worry. Maybe to cry or be fearful. It is something that defines us. Something that we return to when our lives slow down.

Something that can rob us of our daily quality of life. We get so focused on the cobra or the monster that our lives are regularly dragged down.

What is it that defines your life? Is there a snake loose in your home? Is there a monster in your closet? If there is a real snake in your home, is it something that you can take action and remove from your life? Or is it

something that your actions cannot change?

Maybe it needs to be something you accept and move on.

If there is a monster in your closet maybe you need to turn on the bedroom light, open the door, and recognize that you are fearing an empty closet.

You are fearing something that doesn’t exist. Recognize this reality and stop defining your life by something in your closet that isn’t there.

My challenge to you today is to enjoy the highest quality of life that you can enjoy. Stop and recognize what defines your life. What do you focus on? What you focus on expands. If your life is defined by something you truly want to define your life, don’t change a thing — carry on.

If you are not living life to the fullest, is it because there is a snake in your home? Is it because you believe there is a monster in your closet?

If action can remove the snake, how long is it going to be before you take action and solve the problem? If what shapes your world is a make believe monster in the closet, recognize that your fears are unnecessary and stop fearing an empty closet.

Why lose sleep over something that doesn’t really exist?

If the snake in your home will remain in your life no matter what you do, maybe you need to accept that you can’t get rid of it and learn how to live with it. You don’t have to like the snake, but you do need to learn how to overcome the fact that the snake will be a part of your life going forward.

I believe that there are significant things that each of us need to be doing each day in the short lives that we have.

There are things we need to be doing for others. To be able to make a difference in the lives of others, we need to have our own lives in order the best we can.

Learn how to handle the snakes and the monsters that define your life and change the world of those around you and for those who will come after you.

Capitol Hill Buzz: House Judiciary Committee enlists GIFs WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Judiciary Committee includes some of President Barack Obama’s fiercest critics on immigration. That doesn’t mean they can’t have fun.

The panel took an unusually lighthearted approach to immigration policy this week, posting a Buzzfeed-style listicle comprised of animated GIFs to illustrate the GOP’s opposition to Obama’s executive actions deferring deportations for millions of people in the U.S. illegally.

Celebrities including Britney Spears, Jennifer Lawrence, Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig are featured exclaiming in horror and amazement at captions describing Obama’s moves, and promoting a GOP bill that allows state and local governments to enforce immigration laws.

“This is the best!” actress Emma Stone is shown exclaiming over a caption asserting that “By allowing hundreds of thousands of local law enforcement officers to enforce our immigration laws, we keep immigration enforcement up and operating, even when a president tries to unlawfully refuse to enforce our laws.”

It’s just the latest example of politicians trying t o c o - o p t p o p u l a r c u lture or Internet trends.

Obama appeared in a Buzzfeed video recently wielding a “selfie stick” to photograph himself with a smartphone. House Speaker John Boehner used a listicle of Taylor Swift GIFs earlier this year to attack Obama’s proposal for free community college.

Judiciary Committee

aides said the panel is always looking for more effective ways to communicate. As for any copyright concerns raised by the post, the committee argued GIFs are considered “fair use,” meaning they can be widely shared by the public without permission from their creators. The Judiciary Committee oversees copyright law.

The immigrant advocacy group National Council of La Raza was not amused, calling the post “a case study in how to ignore facts and turn a heartbreaking situation for millions of American families into a juvenile BuzzFeed rip-off.”

Opinion III/Feature

By Steve Wolfe Roswell Neighborhood Watch

the scammers’ market is huge, pretty much universal. The natural credibility and impact of something that says “Xcel Energy” makes us quite likely to pay attention! So allow me to present four utility company scams which Xcel warns us about.

There is the Collection Scam.

If you have ever had a past due balance, and most of us have sometime in our past, you will sympathize with the potential victim in this scenario.

To gain access to a customer’s funds, a scammer will call from a fake Xcel Energy telephone number. He will advise customers to go to a retailer and purchase a prepaid debit card, saying that the amount will go towards past due balances. And of course that does not happen.

How about the Overpayment Scam. The scammer will state that a customer has overpaid their energy bill. And of course, they just need a bank account number or credit card informa-

Roswell Daily Record

A scam on everyone who uses electricity It seems that every day, I find another report of some kind of scam being perpetrated on the American people. I could undoubtedly pick one scam per safety column and write for the next several years. Boy, would that be boring! So, I won’t do that.

Identity theft is overall the most common fraud attempted on us. We just have to watch everything and never drop our guard, because these bums are good. They don’t care if you have a lot of money or none; they just want your identity, and thereby any money you do have.

We are told that medical scams of all types grew in 2013 to become the largest category. The confusion caused by the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) has led to many scams and frauds.

There are also Ebay scams, arrest warrant scams, home improvement scams, and many, many others. Today, however, I want to discuss one in particular, which was new to me.

A few days ago, I was looking over some old bills — it probably had something to do with taxes — and I looked at the second page of my Xcel Energy bill. I guess I don’t usually do that, because the first words on the sheet of paper were “Don’t get scammed,” and it caught my attention immediately. We all have to have electricity, so

tion in order to send the refund.

Right! Just hold your breath.

Third on the Xcel scammers’ list is what they call Email Scams. A scammer may send fake notices about service disconnections via email or Twitter. If you should receive such a notice, simply delete it without opening it. Xcel Energy reminds us that the U.S. Postal Service is the only method they use to send such disconnection notices.

Finally, the Repair Reimbursement Scam is another means of getting criminal hands on your money. In this case, a scammer arrives at the customer’s home impersonating Xcel Energy or third party service providers.

They request immediate payment to fix a broken meter or other equipment and say that Xcel will refund the customer’s money. Don’t do that!

We are grateful to Xcel Energy for providing such useful warnings. I understand that

these are scams that come and go; sometimes they are very active and sometimes not. You can bet, however, that if a scam has ever worked, it will be back again. Please be careful!

Amarillo’s ‘Camper Lady’ finally has a home Phoenix Zoo discovers bear

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — On top of her furnished washer, Terri Adams has a collection of vegetable and flower seeds ready to plant soon in her very cozy backyard. There are squash, tomatoes, green onions, some chives as well as a few flowers.

“Oh, I love planting,” she told the Amarillo Globe-News. “I love watching things grow.”

It’s been, by her estima tio n , s e v en o r e ig h t years since she’s grown anything. It’s been six years since she had a roof over her head other than a vehicle’s.

It’s been that long since she had a bed to sleep in, not the crowded front seat of her 2002 GMC Sierra truck, or a shower with running water, not a sponge bath.

“Sponge bath, yeah, that’s a polite way of putting it,” she said.

For exactly one month, Adams, with her two dogs, has made her home in an actual home.

It’s a one-bedroom duplex in the San Jacinto neighborhood.

“It’s hard to describe,” she said. “At times I pinch myself to make sure it’s real and not a dream. I feel safe. All three (she and two dogs) are definitely more comfortable. It’s just amazing.”

Adams had been the Camper Lady in Amarillo for nearly six years. I

threw some light on her plight in a column in late January.

She is one of many in the city classified as homeless, but her situation was unique. She had lived out of her camper at McDonald Lake for the last three years because of a series of bad breaks.

After her father died in 2006, Adams had lived with two roommates on two different occasions but moved out because of drugs and then alcohol. She’s been sober for 11 years and didn’t want the temptation.

Dyslexic, she had willed herself into being a voracious reader. She had a series of jobs, but nothing steady. Not having a permanent address hurt. And maybe most telling, she had never asked for money. She wasn’t a professional panhandler.

Often, she depended on the kindness of strangers who walked at McDonald Lake.

As well-meaning as they were, their acts didn’t solve the problem.

Really, it just extended it.

The long-running Case of the Camper Lady seemed unusually wrong.

No one is to blame.

Few cities have more resources to help the homeless than Amarillo.

It’s just the right people didn’t know, and Adams wasn’t aware of help

available.

“I didn’t know of all the resources out there,” she said. “It’s a little bit frustrating that this could have happened a long time ago.”

Shortly after the initial column, there was an outpouring of people wanting to help.

Included in that were two agencies, the Texas Panhandle Centers and its homeless program as well as the Downtown Women’s Center.

TPC was the primary agency, and because of confidentiality issues, officials there declined to comment. But Adams said the agency was instrumental in pointing her in the right direction and then providing aid.

In something she hadn’t done since 2009, Adams was able to find an empty small duplex through the HUD affordable housing program.

Texas Panhandle Centers is paying for the first three months’ rent. After that, rent will be 30 percent of her income.

She has a job — 12 hours a week over two days at a Laundromat — but she wants and needs more hours.

“But with a roof over my head, now I’m putting an address down that’s mine and not someone else who loaned it to me,” Adams said.

She lists friends Lucy, Cody, husband and wife Doug and Peg, Janey —

she knows no last names — who have provided a couch, old trundle bed, an oversized television, a bookshelf and a coffee table. These are staples she hasn’t had in what seems like forever.

A lady named Jackie said she is bringing a cabinet for a microwave.

If she can get a chest of drawers, she will be set.

“Because right now, my room looks like a minefield, like a tornado went through it because I’ve got nowhere to put clothes,” she said.

Her kitchen cabinets are full of donated food, and dry dog food is stacked in her small living room.

Her 44th birthday was March 3, but a week later she was taken by a friend to Pizza Hut, then to Walmart and finally to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard.

More than anything, after six years, the playing field for Terri Adams is a little more level. She has a chance now, a better chance anyway, and that’s the least anyone should have.

That GMC Sierra is now parked along the curb in front of her duplex. She has to move it periodically so the mailman can reach her mailbox. That’s new, too.

Luka is female, not male

PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Zoo is fessing up to what it calls an “embearassing” mistake regarding one of its animals.

Zoo officials say they were planning to transfer Luka to the Nashville, Tennessee, zoo when they recently discovered that the 2-year-old Andean bear is a female, not a male as thought.

According to the Phoenix Zoo, Andean bear cubs’ genitalia are highly undeveloped before age 2, mak-

ing it very difficult to determine gender.

The zoo said employees there also hadn’t handled the bear much because it was doing very well with its mother.

The zoo said Luka still might go to Nashville, but now that they know she’s a she, it opens up other options for the bear’s participation in a breeding program.

Ring of light: Total eclipse over Svalbard islands in Arctic

LONGYEARBYEN, Norway (AP) — Sky-gazers looked up in awe Friday as the moon blocked the sun in a total solar eclipse that momentarily darkened a slice of northern Europe.

The most spectacular viewing came on Norway’s Svalbard islands near the North Pole, where a bright clear day and blindingly white snow highlighted the cosmic wonder that used to bring ancient civilizations to a trembling halt.

Visitors to the Arctic islands were treated to a full view of the sun’s corona — a faint ring of rays surrounding the moon — that is only visible during a total eclipse.

“All of the various things that you’re supposed to see — the shadow bands, the corona, both diamond rings, prominences — it had everything. It had absolutely everything,” said Richard Patching, a 63-year-old visitor from Calgary in Canada.

Elsewhere, the much-anticipated solar eclipse was a bit of a letdown. In the Faeroe Islands — the only place besides Svalbard where the eclipse was total — a blanket of clouds meant thousands of visitors missed out on the event, apart from the eerie darkness from the moon’s shadow.

“Well it was very close,” said Fred Espenak, a retired NASA scientist visiting the island group in the North Atlantic. “If the eclipse had been 25 minutes later, it would have been fantastic. But the clouds ruined it for us. So I’m very disappointed.”

Some 20,000 people had traveled to the Faeroe Islands and Svalbard to watch the eclipse.

The eclipse also occurred as the moon passed at its closest point to the Earth in its orbit, adding its gravitational pull on the ocean to create stronger tides.

The effect was most noticeable in the Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada — known for one of the highest tidal ranges in the world — and outside Saint Malo in northwestern France, said Michael Quaade, a Copenhagen University astronomer.

The last total eclipse was in November 2012 over Australia. The next one will be over Indonesia in March 2016, according to NASA.

Italy shows off restored Pompeii villa

POMPEII, Italy (AP) — Italy unveiled the restored crown jewel of the ancient city of Pompeii on Friday, showing off a rare success story as it races to shore up the site marred by such mismanagement and neglect that it risked losing EU funding and its UNESCO World Heritage site listing.

Culture Minister Dario Franceschini cut the ribbon to open the restored Villa of Mysteries, a spectacular estate on the outskirts of Pompeii’s city center that features some of the best-preserved frescoes of the site.

Franceschini said that while problems still remain at Pompeii, Italy was on schedule to meet a European Union deadline to spend 105 million euros ($111 million) in EU funds by the end of the year for mainte-

nance and restoration projects.

While only three projects have been completed, 13 are underway and some 65 million euros has been awarded in contracts, officials said. In addition, 85 people have been hired to work on the site and visitor numbers last year were 200,000 more than in 2013.

“We know well that the world looks with great attention at everything that happens at Pompeii,” Franceschini said as he stood before a fresco of Dionysius and Aphrodite in the villa’s main salon. “Today, Italy is proud to say to the world that we have turned a page.”

Pompeii, a busy commercial city overlooking the Mediterranean, was destroyed in A.D. 79 by an eruption of Mount Vesuvi-

us that killed thousands of people and buried the city in 20 feet of volcanic ash.

But the ash also helped preserve Pompeii’s treasures, providing precious information about life in the ancient world.

The first excavations began in the 18th century, but even today only two-thirds of the site’s 150 acres have been uncovered.

In recent years, Pompeii has been bedeviled by neglect and mismanagement characteristic of Italy’s underdeveloped south, as well as brushes with the corruption that has infected some other important public works in Italy, including its Expo 2015 World’s Fair in Milan and the Moses water barrier project in Venice.

Hit by heavy rains, some of Pompeii’s walls have literally crumbled.

The 2010 collapse of the Villa of Gladiators, and further collapses at Pompeii the following year, caused such international alarm that the EU stepped forward with funding and Italy created a mini-administration to govern the restoration project and make sure it wasn’t infiltrated by the mafia.

Among other things, the EU project called for the site to be shored up and for a drainage system to be built. But Italy’s chronic bureaucratic delays prevented progress and the EU made clear that Italy would lose the money if it didn’t use it by Dec. 31.

Report says 640,200 Syrians in besieged areas

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Nearly 650,000 Syrians are living in besieged communities in the country’s civil war, more than three times the U.N. estimate, says a new report that offers a graphic account of hundreds of deaths in areas the world has struggled for years to reach.

The report says Syria’s government is responsible for the overwhelming amount of siege tactics that have led to deaths by starvation, dehydration and the lack of medical care. The document does not look at what it calls the short-term siege tactics used by the Islamic State group, which has beheaded and massacred its opponents in the vast area straddling the Syria-Iraq border currently under its control.

The “Slow Death” report, obtained in advance by The Associated Press, is by the Syrian American Medical Society, which supports medical workers in besieged areas. The organization presented its findings Thursday to U.N. officials and to a closeddoor meeting sponsored by the United States, Britain, France and other states and organized by Qatar.

The U.N. estimates that 212,000 Syrians live in besieged areas beyond the reach of humanitarian aid.

But the new report, to be released next week, says the U.N. is too narrowly defining “besieged” and is inadvertently underplaying the crisis. It says more than 640,200 people are besieged. It also echoes claims by an increasing number of aid groups that the international response to the overall conflict, particularly by the deeply divided U.N. Security Council, has failed.

“We’re not talking about quote-unquote terrorists, we’re talking about families who have nothing to do with armed groups,” the president of the Syrian American Medical Society, Dr. Zaher Sahloul, told the AP. The group describes itself as being a neutral medical organization, but Syria’s government has accused it of supporting the opposition.

More than 220,000 people have been killed in Syria’s civil war, which began with protests against President Bashar Assad.

The government has been repeatedly accused of using siege tactics against its own citizens.

The new report says those tactics have had a devastating impact on dozens of communities trapped in the Syrian conflict, which this month enters its fifth year. It identifies 38 communities that it says should be considered besieged beyond the 11 areas that the United Nations recognizes.

While the U.N. and aid groups have struggled to get aid into Syria, the

besieged areas are considered to be at the end of the line.

The report’s website, Syriaundersiege.org, lists 560 people who have died in besieged areas, including photos of 345 of them.

To emphasize the civilian impact of the deaths, the organization says it did its best to keep out people with links to armed groups.

The report says all of the 560 deaths in that dataset “were in areas besieged by the Syrian government.”

Sahloul and others on Thursday presented diplomats, including U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison, with some of the images of the dead that accompany the report. The website’s photos of victims include emaciated children.

“A lot of people cried, It was kind of intense,” said Valerie Szybala, the author of the report, who attended the meeting. She said that Russia and China, who have vetoed resolutions attempting to take action on the Syrian crisis, did not attend.

Szybala said the medical organization knows well the politics that have brought the council to a near-standstill on Syria. “But we’re trying to find creative ways to address this, because it’s not acceptable to just sit around. People are dying,” she said.

The report argues that the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs should immediately reconsider the way it designates besieged areas and not be too quick to remove a community from its existing list, especially when the only access to a community is controlled by the “besieging party.”

It also calls on the U.N. to arrange for international monitors to make sure all parties uphold the terms of local cease-fires, which at times are a trigger to remove a community from the list of besieged.

U.N. OCHA officials in their meeting Thursday said they had no issues with the new report’s methodology or numbers and that they have had to rely on third-party estimates because they don’t have people on the ground in besieged areas, Sahloul and Szybala said.

OCHA officials had no immediate comment on the new report.

Other international aid organizations said it is extremely difficult to get information from Syria’s besieged areas, just as it’s hard to get aid in.

“My fear is to go for a battle of figures when the most important point is that there are a lot of people starving,” said Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator Pierre Boulet Desbareau. “Two hundred thousand or 600,000, the issue is the same.”

“Hike It & Spike It” back for 20th year in Roswell, but not without remarkable support from a selfless community

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor Each year in the city of Roswell, a relatively quiet and tranquil Cielo Grande Park is transformed into one of the premier recreational team-sports events found not just in the state of New Mexico, but anywhere across the entire world.

For 19 consecutive years, “Hike It & Spike It” has captivated interest in thousands upon thousands of flag football enthusiasts from coast to coast – even internationally in some cases – that has resulted in a unique, dynamic, and ultimately exhilarating series of 4-on-4 charity flag football tournaments that’s grown substantially over the years to a point where it now quite literally envelops a majority of the southeastern part of the state over Memorial Day weekend.

“Not only does Roswell sell out,” says James Matteucci, Chairman of the Board at Bank of the Southwest and one of the chief local organizers for the event. “Artesia, Portales, Ruidoso and Carlsbad all sell out. So, in essence, we’re selling out southeastern New Mexico.”

But the wild success of the event also hasn’t happened on accident.

In fact, according to Matteucci, “Hike It & Spike It” has only been able to continue its remarkable rise over nearly the last two decades because of the complete and unwavering support from the event’s numerous sponsors and donors – and, perhaps even more importantly – the community of Roswell at large.

“For any event to last 20 years is one thing,” Matteucci said. “For that event to thrive, and grow and be as high-quality as this event is for 20 years, it’s a lot of work. And there are a lot of people behind that.”

Over 500 volunteers from the Roswell community alone are expected to help put on what has become the world’s single largest flag football tournament, with an expected turnout of over 43,000 people over three days, including approximately 4,000 players on more than 600 teams – up from 125

in 1996 and 300 in 2007 – representing at least 20 different states and Mexico.

“What’s amazing to me,” Matteucci said. “Is that no single person in this entire organization takes credit for this event. This event is truly accredited to the community itself in every aspect. Every department of the city is involved in this, without any questions asked. It’s just that good of an event for the community.

“This is such a pure event. It’s everybody coming together the way a community should to make something amazing for us and to show off our community.”

People of all ages and genders compete in various divisions of the “Hike It & Spike It” charity flag football tournament last May at Cielo Grande Park in Roswell.

In addition to the droves of individual volunteers, another major driving force behind “Hike It & Spike It” is the nonprofit organization, Character Counts! in Chaves County, that actually holds the contract and hosts the event.

“Basically, this event doesn’t happen without Character Counts!,” Matteucci says.

“Hike It & Spike It” also receives $20,000 from the City of Roswell Lodgers Tax, as well as $10,000 in charitable endowments from the United Way of Chaves County, New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy, First Tee of Roswell,

Roswell High Cheerleaders, Goddard and Roswell High schools’ respective Key Clubs and Church on the Move.

“Between all the city departments coming together, all the sponsors doing what they do, plus 500 volunteers, thank you for 20 years,” Matteucci said. “And thank you for making it so easy. What happens out there every year is truly amazing.”

These numerous contributions have helped grow “Hike It & Spike It” into a truly national event, and one that has something for just about everybody ­– divisions for all genders and age groups, co-ed divi-

sions, even a “Show Me the Money” division that attracts extraordinarily high-caliber athletes to vie for a grand prize of $10,000.

Second- and third-place finishers in the “Show Me the Money” division, which is sponsored by Southwest Dairy Farmers, New Mexico Military Institute, the Roswell Daily Record and CenturyLink, will take home $3,000 and $2,000, respectively.

First, second, third, Character Counts! and Down and Out Bowl awards will be presented in all other divisions.

Each player who wins a Character Counts! award

Finally, in the bottom of the second — it was the first time in the tourney the Colts had won the coin toss to be the home team — the Institute broke through.

Jake Guerrero singled and pinch runner Jack Tingwall advanced to third on a single by pitcher Michael Hinojos and a Panther error, but Tingwall was eventually cut down at the plate trying to score on a wild pitch, something that had Ward fuming.

One out later, however, Teryn Surratt brought Hinojos in, and NMMI led 1-0.

The Colts added two more runs in the third, scoring after Peter DeGroot was hit and Danny Jaramillo reached on an error. Both stole a base, then DeGroot came in on a wild pitch and Jaramillo scored on a long out by Haden Maloney.

Pecos finally got on the

board in the fourth, when two NMMI errors led to a run. Hinojos was in trouble almost every inning, but he either came up with strikeouts to keep the on-base runners from scoring, or the defense made some fantastic plays behind him, including an unassisted shortstop to first baseman doubleplay in the third, along with a fine catch by Guerrero on a bunt just in front of the plate in the fourth.

The Colts added an insurance run in the fourth when Francisco Galvez walked, moved to second on a balk, reached third on an error and then came home on a passed ball. That drove Pecos starter Daniel Saenz out of the game, and reliever Jason Henderson was able to get out of the inning without any further damage.

Another double play made

the sixth a 1-2-3 inning for Hinojos, and it looked like NMMI would get the win in regulation.

But the Panthers weren’t done, taking advantage of a hit batter, two NMMI errors and the best hitting they’d had all game — four consecutive base knocks — to tie the game at 4-4.

The Colts, meanwhile, couldn’t take advantage of

will receive a trophy football. Other prizes are listed within the official “Hike It & Spike It” brochure and on the website at roswellgridiron.com.

The website is also the only place prospective teams can gain entry into this year’s tournament, as no handwritten entries will be accepted. Entries were

opened Monday and will run through May 2.

Entry fees are $280 per team in all divisions except “Show Me the Money,” which costs $560 per team.

All regular division teams may carry seven players, while all co-ed and 30+ teams are allowed eight team members.

NMMI downs Pecos in extra innings to win Hal Bogle Classic

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent DEXTER — NMMI didn’t have any explosive innings Saturday in the championship game of the Hal Bogle tournament in Dexter, but they did have an explosive ending to the extra-inning matchup versus Pecos.

The Colts won the tournament for the first time in many years — maybe ever — with a walk-off sacrifice fly that gave them a 5-4 victory over Pecos.

“I’m so proud of my kids,” said NMMI coach Charlie Ward. “We made mistakes but we came through, and that’s what counts.”

For 6-1/3 innings, the game was close, but in NMMI’s favor. Both teams had their chances early on, but neither could capitalize.

See NMMI, Page B2 Karen Boehler Photo

Pitcher Michael Hinojos had a solid effort against the Panthers, striking out seven before being lifted in the seventh inning. Overall, the Colts had strong pitching all three games of the tournament.

Dexter falls to Tularosa 15-5 in consolation game of Hal Bogle Classic

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent DEXTER — Dexter’s varsity baseball team simply ran out of pitching Saturday on the final day of the Hal Bogle Classic baseball tournament. Playing for third place vs. Tularosa, the Demons threw five different pitchers before eventually falling 15-5 to the Wildcats.

“We went through everybody,” said Dexter coach Arturo Duran. “We just couldn’t find the strike zone. It’s tough, whenever you can’t do that. With these good teams, you can’t walk anybody. You can’t

In the top of the eighth, Colts reliever Mateo Fierro got two quick outs but then a double and single made it look like the Panthers would go ahead. But the runner

give them those kind of runs.”

And the Demons did give away “those kind of runs” in spades Saturday. They walked 16 Wildcats, hit five more and threw countless wild pitches. Tularosa only failed to score in one inning, the fourth, but still managed to load the bases in that frame. The Wildcats sent at least seven batters to the plate in every inning.

But Dexter still didn’t quit, despite a complete game pitching performance from the Wildcats’ Greg Gonzales. The Demons brought two runs across in the second, scoring when first baseman/relief pitch-

er Jose Ruiz singled, stole second, went to third on a double by Edgar Saenz and then came home on a single by Phillip Acosta. Saenz would eventually score on a bases-loaded walk later in the inning.

Tularosa led by the mercy-rule edge of 12-2 after its scoreless fourth, but the Demons came back in the bottom of the stanza when Mario Moreno reached on a one-out error, stole second and scored on a double

by Carlos Bejarano. Bejarano went to third on a single by Cesar Beltran, and both players scored when Raul Duran hit a shot off the fence in left.

But the ‘Cats added another trio of runs in the top of the fifth — enough to bring the mercy rule back into play — then allowed two Dexter base runners in the bottom of the inning, but ultimately held on for the victory.

“We can’t take anything away from him, the pitcher from Tularosa,” Duran said. “He did a great job.

We’ve just got to keep getting better.”

And despite the pitching staff being decimated, the Demons will be right back in action when they host Capitan for a JV/varsity doubleheader Monday.

on second was cut down on a fine throw from left fielder Jaramillo to Fierro who relayed it to catcher Guerrero for the third out at the plate, leaving the crowd of NMMI fans sighing in relief.

In the bottom of the stanza, Surratt reached base on an error. Fierro walked and

DeGroot advanced both with a sacrifice. That brought Jaramillo to the plate, and while the one-out play didn’t go exactly as planned, his sacrifice brought Surratt home and started the celebration.

Tournament MVP Maloney credited the Panthers with a

tough performance, saying he’s never played in a game like that. Galvez and Gavin Maloney were also named to the All-Tournament team.

The Colts now have a week off before they open their own tournament Thursday at 7 p.m. against Capitan.

Senokonko, NMMI women set school records at McMurry meet The Women’s Track and Field Team from New Mexico Military Institute journeyed to Abilene, Texas, to join 12 Texas colleges and universities and two international teams to compete in the McMurry Warhawk Track and Field Invitational Saturday. The NMMI ladies placed 11th in the meet.

The NMMI women were led by sophomore Miriama Senokonko, who won the triple jump with a hop, step, and a jump of 11.30 meters (37’ 23/4”). This triple jump set a new NMMI School Record, breaking the old record of 9.99 meters set in 2007. Senokonoko’s leap narrowly missed the NJCAA national qualifying distance of 11.48 meters.

Another NMMI school record was broken in the 5,000 meter run by sophomore Tyler Nauss. The computerized timing sys-

be given. However, NMMI Coach Jack Batson had her time unofficially at 23:21,

which broke the old record by at least two minutes.

“I am fairly sure that the 5,000 meter NMMI record will fall again this season,” Batson said. The previous record had been set in 2010.

Ekaterina Meringolo, a freshman, competed in the 1,500 meter run and placed 23rd in the field with a time of 5:59.64.

The Women’s team welcomed Ealiza Villanueva, another freshman, this week. She had previously been under the care of the training staff at NMMI, because of injuries suffered during the cross country season. She will join Tyler Nauss as a distance runner for the team.

The next meet will be the West Texas A&M Invitational April 10-11 after spring break.

Stenson surges into lead at Bay Hill

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Henrik Stenson of Sweden finished with another flourish at Bay Hill on Saturday and seized control of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

It was the second straight day that Stenson played the final four holes in 4-under par. Two shots behind, he made a 12-foot birdie on the 15th hole, a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th and finished with a pitching wedge that plopped down 2 feet from the 18th hole for a 6-under 66.

That gave Stenson a twoshot lead over Morgan Hoffmann, who stumbled on the front nine, recovered with three birdies in four holes and then stalled at the end for a 71.

Stenson, the No. 3 player in the world, was at 16-under 200.

“It’s a new day tomorrow, so whatever has happened these first three days has put me in a nice position,” Stenson said. “But it’s got to be done all over tomorrow.”

Six players are separated by three shots going into Sunday’s final round, a group that includes defending champion Matt Every.

Rory McIlroy looked as though he would be among them. The world’s No. 1 player pulled to within one shot of the lead with his fourth birdie of the round on the 13th hole. But he ran off three straight bogeys, missing a par putt from just inside 3 feet on No. 15 and chopping up the par-5 16th hole. McIlroy effectively gave up two shots to the field on the 16th, where only one other player failed to make par or better.

Henrik Stenson, of Sweden, tees off on the 18th hole during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament in Orlando, Fla., Saturday.

McIlroy missed the cut in the Honda Classic and finished eight shots behind at Doral. Asked if Bay Hill counted as being in contention, he replied, “Not anymore.”

“I guess if I can get off to the fast start tomorrow ... maybe I will have a chance,” he said. “It would have been nicer to be a little closer to the lead going into tomorrow.”

A two-shot lead can disappear quickly, especially on the back nine. Even so, Stenson has been steady during his three stops on

the Florida swing. He tied for fourth at Doral, and missed the three-man playoff at Innisbrook by one shot last week.

Hoffmann regained the lead with back-to-back birdies early on the back nine, but his tee shot rolled up to the lip of a bunker on par-5 16th and he was one of only two players in the third round who had to lay up short of the creek.

Hoffmann had to settle for pars, though he was still in the final group with Stenson.

Every had a 69 and was

in the group at 13-under 203 that included Jason Kokrak (65), Matt Jones (67) and Las Vegas winner Ben Martin (68). Jones birdied his last four holes, including a 75-foot putt across the green at the par-3 17th.

Hoffmann had a chance to limit the number of contenders if he had posted a better score. The scoring average was low again because of slow, receptive greens this week. But he kept getting funny lies in the fairway, mud on his ball and a few breaks that didn’t go his way.

But he still has a chance, as do so many others, especially considering the most recent trend on the PGA Tour. In the last eight tournaments (including the Puerto Rico Open), the winner came from behind in the final round.

Sean O’Hair, who was in the playoff at Innisbrook last week, had a 68 and was five shots behind. The group six shots back included Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand, who matched the low score of the third round with a 65. Harris English, No. 52 in the world as he tries to get into the Masters, hit two balls in the water on the front nine and battled back with four birdies over his last four holes for a 72.

Daniel Berger made the first albatross at Bay Hill, hitting 4-iron from 237 yards into the hole for a 2 on the par-5 sixth hole.

And still on the fringe of contention was Sam Saunders, the 27-year-old grandson of Palmer, who shot 67 to join the group at 8-under 208.

Lady Rockets explode for 47 runs in doubleheader sweep over Santa Teresa

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor Goddard’s varsity softball team exploded for 47 runs during its road doubleheader sweep of Santa Teresa Saturday afternoon at Santa Teresa High School.

The Lady Rockets’ won Game 1 22-0, and then topped that effort in Game 2, winning 25-0.

Both games lasted only three innings due to the mercy rule.

Jacelyn Reyes got the start in both games for the Lady Rockets, and threw 3-inning shutouts in both contests. Reyes struck out four of the 11 batters she faced in the first game, and then recorded three more strikeouts in the second

leg of the twinbill.

Goddard’s Cheyenne Lopez finished a pristine 7-7 at the plate through both games, which included a double and a triple.

Molina Sanchez was 5-8 in the doubleheader, recording a pair of doubles in the first game.

In total, the Lady Rockets were an astounding 35-62 at the plate through both games.

Goddard coach Jay Edgett’s team will attempt to improve on its 3-0 record Thursday when it takes the field for the Kristin Griego Memorial Tournament in Rio Rancho. The Lady Rockets will face off against Los Lunas in the opening game at 1 p.m.

NM State falls to top-seeded Maryland in first round of NCAA tourney COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — New Mexico State walked away from its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 27 years feeling pretty darn good about the way things went down.

A 75-57 loss to top-seeded Maryland on Saturday did nothing to detract from what the Aggies accomplished this season and where coach Mark Trakh believes the program is headed.

“It’s been a historic year for New Mexico State women’s basketball,” Trakh said, “and the future is very bright.”

Trakh spoke about a 6-foot-4 recruit coming in.

The 16th-seeded Aggies sure could have used that kind of height against the Terrapins, who got 22 points and 12 rebounds from 6-3 Brionna Jones in their 25th straight victory.

“It was like PT boats trying to attack a battleship out there,” Trakh said. “We were bouncing off right and left.”

Brianna Freeman scored 15 and Sasha Weber added 14 for the Aggies (22-8), who were making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1988.

The Western Athletic Conference champions were outrebounded 45-20 and went 5 for 21 from 3-point range.

“If we could have knocked down a few more of those open shots,” Trakh said, “it might have been a closer game.”

Stopping Jones would have helped even more.

“I tried to two-arm push her under the basket,” Freeman said. “It wasn’t happening. It was a good test of our will to play.”

The Terrapins (31-2) will bring a school-record 25-game winning streak into Monday night’s matchup against eighth-seeded Princeton (31-0). The Ivy League champions advanced earlier Saturday by defeating Wisconsin-Green Bay 80-70 with President Barack Obama in attendance.

Obama’s niece plays for Princeton, and his bracket has the Tigers defeating Maryland to advance to the Sweet 16.

If the President stayed to watch the second game,

he would probably concede that Jones and the Terrapins appear tough to beat.

Jones was bigger and stronger than any one player the Aggies assigned to cover her, and a collapsing zone defense did little to slow her down.

“My teammates got me the ball when I was open, and I just worked hard to stay open against the zone,” Jones said.

Jones went seven for 10 from the floor and eight for nine at the line. She was pulled with 5:50 left.

Senior guard Laurin Mincy scored 19 for the Terrapins, who haven’t lost since Dec. 3. Maryland went ahead for good at 7-6 and led by 20 with 12 minutes left.

No. 1 Kentucky beats Cincinnati to reach Sweet 16 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Nothing came easy for topranked Kentucky against eighth-seeded Cincinnati, which mixed it up with the Wildcats on almost every play.

They didn’t flinch and eventually built a double-digit lead by physically imposing their will on the Bearcats. Kentucky’s reward was college basketball’s first 36-0 start and a return visit to the Sweet 16 as it cleared an important step in its quest to become the first unbeaten champion since Indiana in 1976.

Aaron Harrison scored 13 points, Trey Lyles added 11 with 11 rebounds and the Wildcats outworked Cincinnati for a 64-51 victory Saturday that showed their resolve even when the numbers worked against them.

Kentucky shot just 37 percent and was outrebounded 45-38 yet always seemed in control because of timely baskets and rebounds that Cincinnati failed to get.

“I always like it when my team shoots 37, 36, 35 percent and wins in double digits,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “It shows them they don’t have to make shots to win. You can miss them all. No, you can’t miss them all. You can miss most of them, and you can still win games if you defend, you rebound and you play that way, make your free throws, and they did.”

The Wildcats earned their

sixth straight double-digit win that helped them surpass last year’s Wichita State squad for the most victories to start the season. Kentucky squashed the Shockers’ run in the third round last March and now looks to extend its roll in Thursday’s Midwest Regional semifinal in Cleveland against the winner of Maryland-West Virginia.

That figures to be tough either way, though Kentucky might be hard pressed to find an opponent as grueling as Cincinnati (23-11). The physical, pesky Bearcats made the Wildcats work hard for every shot and rebound in an intense contest.

But the Wildcats succeeded by making life difficult on both ends for Cincinnati, holding the Bearcats to 32 percent shooting including just 24 percent in the second half. Kentucky blocked six shots after halftime and nine overall while also coming up with key rebounds.

“We went out there, and we matched their intensity and matched their physicalness,” Lyles said.

The Wildcats made 20 of 28 free throws, chances created by their aggressive attack of the basket. Cincinnati didn’t shoot a free throw until early in the second half and finished 9 of 14 from the line.

“Had we finished a little better down the stretch with some point-blank shots that we had, had we made some free throws, we’d have made

it very, very interesting,” Cincinnati associate head coach Larry Davis said.

Troy Caupain had 13 points, Shaq Thomas 10 and Octavius Ellis had nine with 10 rebounds for Cincinnati, which trailed by 19 points with 1:43 left.

Ellis embodied Cincinnati’s attitude against the Wildcats, often adding an extra push after a play or finding a way to make Kentucky foul him as he tried to establish position down low.

But most notable for Kentucky were the timing of some baskets that ended up snatching momemtum, such as Willie Cauley-Stein’s emphatic flying dunk and free throw during a 10-0 run just before halftime that brought another sea of blue in the crowd to its feet.

“When he does it, we all scream like we did it,” Aaron Harrison said. “We’re just used to it.”

Aaron Harrison followed with a 3-pointer to cap the run and make it louder, and just like that Kentucky had the momentum it needed in half in which Cincinnati led several times and seemed intent on controlling the flow.

Cincinnati got within three points several times early in the second half, the last time at 35-32 on Ellis’ jumper. Hard-fought offensive rebounds created more opportunities, but the Bearcats just couldn’t convert as Kentucky came up with timely rebounds.

Arizona advances to Sweet 16 with 73-58 win over Ohio State Buckeyes PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Arizona avenged one heartbreaking NCAA Tournament loss. One more win, and the Wildcats will get a chance to make up for another one.

Gabe York made five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points, T.J. McConnell turned in a terrific all-around performance, and second-seeded Arizona advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year with a 73-58 victory over Ohio State on Saturday.

“We won our way,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said, proudly.

McConnell had 19 points, six assists, six rebounds and five steals to help the second-seeded Wildcats (33-3) overcome a sluggish start. The senior’s steady hand created all kinds of space for York and other shooters to bust the Buckeyes’ zone defense, which they rarely used during the regular season but broke out for the NCAA Tournament.

The Pac-12 champions went ahead by 15 points with 6:34 remaining before holding off No. 10 seed Ohio State (24-11), which eliminated Arizona in the regional semifinals two years ago. Next up for the Wildcats is sixth-seeded Xavier, where Miller was the head coach from 200409, in the West Regional semifinals Thursday in Los Angeles.

They also remain on track for a rematch against Wisconsin in the regional final. The Big Ten champion Badgers, who ousted Arizona in an overtime thriller in last year’s regional final, are the top seed in

the West.

“We’ve weathered a couple of storms,” Miller said.

“I think we’ve learned in this region, this tournament, a couple things this week leading to L.A. that we have to make sure we’re sharp and ready to go. Now that we have two more games on a neutral court, I think it becomes easier to go out there and be yourself.”

The Buckeyes gave the Wildcats all they could handle, even with standout freshman and likely NBA lottery pick D’Angelo Russell struggling with his shot. Russell scored nine points and made just 3 of

19 shots after going for 28 points in Ohio State’s overtime win over VCU in its tournament opener.

Russell also had seven rebounds and six assists in what was probably his final collegiate game. He wore a bandage to cover the five stitches he received above his left eye after taking an elbow in Thursday’s game and spent the final minutes on the bench listening to Arizona’s fans chant “U-of-A!” “I would say they played great D on a few of them, but a lot of them were great shots. I just missed,” Russell said.

Sam Thompson added 18

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash announced his retirement Saturday, quietly ending a 19-year NBA career that included two MVP awards.

After playing in just 65 games over the past three seasons due to injuries, the 41-year-old Canadian playmaker formalized his departure with a letter on The Players’ Tribune, a website

where he is a senior producer.

“I will likely never play basketball again,” wrote Nash, who hasn’t played at all this season. “It’s bittersweet. I already miss the game deeply, but I’m also really excited to learn to do something else.”

The eight-time All-Star is third in NBA history with 10,335 assists, trailing only John Stockton and Jason

Kidd. Nash also is the best free-throw shooter in NBA history at 90.4 percent, barely edging Mark Price.

While thanking a lengthy list of former teammates and influential mentors in his letter, Nash wrote of his lifelong love for basketball and his relentless desire for improvement.

“The greatest gift has been to be completely immersed in my passion

points and Shannon Scott scored 10 for the Buckeyes, who led by six points in the first half but never could match Arizona’s size. The Wildcats won the rebounding battle 43-26.

It was sweet redemption for the Wildcats and Miller, who lost on a last-second shot to Ohio State in 2013.

And it was the first time in three tries that Miller beat close friend and Ohio State coach Thad Matta, who also handed Miller’s Xavier team a last-second defeat in the 2007 tournament.

“This is probably, without a doubt, maybe his best team,” Matta said of Miller.

And if they can continue to turn in these types of performances, the Wildcats like their chances against anybody — Wisconsin and undefeated Kentucky included.

Miller had pleaded with his team to improve its defense after beating Texas Southern 93-72 in its opening game. Arizona answered its coach’s call, though the offense took longer to come around this time.

The Wildcats looked tentative most of the first half against Ohio State’s smothering zone. In the second half, they worked the ball at a blistering pace and started hitting shots from outside.

York, who was scoreless against Texas Southern, hit four 3-pointers during one stretch. He finished 5 of 9 from long range.

“When they shrink (the defense) like that,” York said, “the only thing that’s left for me is to knock down shots.”

Two-time MVP Steve Nash announces retirement from NBA after 19 seasons

and striving for something I loved so much — visualizing a ladder, climbing up to my heroes,” Nash wrote. “The obsession became my best friend.”

UCLA beats UAB Blazers to advance to South semis

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A week after anxiously waiting and praying for an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, the UCLA Bruins certainly have done their best to quiet their doubters.

They were the first team to advance to a regional semifinal.

Tony Parker led five Bruins in double figures with a career-high 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as 11th-seeded UCLA beat 14th-seeded UAB 92-75 on Saturday to advance to its second straight Sweet 16.

“The selection committee thought we were good enough to play in this tournament, and I think we proved it,” Parker said.

Many thought the Bruins shouldn’t have even been in the field of 68 after scoring only seven points in a half against Kentucky in December and an inability to win consecutive games away from home all season.

Now they have won two straight in Louisville — and six of their last seven — to earn their first consecutive Sweet 16 berths since reaching the Final Four three straight seasons between 2006 and 2008.

They will play either Gonzaga or Iowa on Friday in the South Regional semifinal in Houston.

“There’s no better time to do that than March,” UCLA coach Steve Alford said.

UCLA improved No. 11 seeds to a perfect 5-0 against 14 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and the Bruins didn’t need any questionable calls to win the program’s second game as a double-digit seed.

This time, they just dominated inside and shot the ball as well as they have all season. Kevon Looney had 10 points and 11 rebounds for UCLA. Bryce Alford had 22 points, Norman Powell 15 and Isaac Hamilton 13.

The Bruins’ opening win over SMU was sealed when a 3-point attempt by Alford was ruled good on a goaltending call.

With the Blazers worried first about Alford who hit 9 of 11 from 3 to beat SMU in the last game, Parker had room to roam helping UCLA outrebound UAB 41-26 with a 52-22 scoring edge in the paint.

“All of those were baskets right around the rim and positions where our length was not going to be able to bother him because, if he’s within 2 feet, he’s going to be awfully effective,” UAB coach Jerod Haase said.

The Blazers (20-16) missed out on their first regional semifinal since 2004 coming off their big upset of No. 3 seed Iowa State on Thursday. Robert Brown led the Blazers with 25 points and William Lee added 10.

NC State in Sweet 16 with stunner over No. 1 Villanova

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The rims seemed tight. So did Villanova.

The Wildcats missed so many shots — gimme layups, uncontested jumpers, airballed 3s — that it was no surprise the first thing to fall was their Final Four target.

No wonder it came to this: The ’Cats were the first to go from a top seed to No. 1-and-done.

North Carolina State, a program that authored one of the early chapters on March shockers, can add another stunner to the list: The Wolfpack are back in the Sweet 16.

“We came out today with the feeling that everybody expected us to lose to a one seed,” said forward BeeJay Anya, “but we believe in ourselves and that we’re good enough to beat anybody in the country and we went down and did it.”

N.C. State attacked one of the top teams in the nation for 40 minutes, playing with a chest-thumping swagger that helped them stun Villanova 71-68 on Saturday night.

N.C. State guards Cat Barber and Desmond Lee shared a long embrace after the buzzer as their teammates danced around the court in celebration.

Barber turned to Lee,

pounded his chest and yelled, “all heart!”

No, this wasn’t quite as meaningful as Jim Valvano’s mad dash looking for somebody — anybody — to hug after the Wolfpack won the 1983 national championship. But the Wolfpack (22-13) have designs on their own big March run and will move on to Syracuse, New York to play the winner of the Louisville-Northern Iowa game.

Lacey led them with 17 points, Barber had 13 and Malik-Adbul Abu had 13 points, 12 rebounds and absolutely destroyed the Wildcats inside.

The Wildcats (33-3) saw a 16-game winning streak end and have not reached the second weekend since 2009.

The Wildcats come up empty after storming their way to a pair of Big East titles and a 41-point victory in the NCAA Tournament opener.

“I know we have to answer to the fact that we did not get to the second weekend again,” coach Jay Wright said. “We have to own that. But it’s not going to define us within our program. It’s going to define us outside of our program and we accept that.”

Dylan Ennis was nearly inconsolable, his arms

crossed over his head in disbelief. Ennis missed a 3-pointer after an N.C. State turnover with 20 seconds left that would have put the Wildcats ahead.

Darrun Hilliard scored 27 points and gamely rallied the Wildcats in the final minutes. He hit 3-pointers that brought them to within four, within two with 41.1 seconds left and 69-68 with 1.2 seconds left.

Ralston Turner sealed the win with free throws and N.C. State was back in the Sweet 16 for only the third time since 1989 (2012, 2005). They hadn’t defeated a top seed since that memorable night in 1983 when they upset Houston.

Yet for all the Wolfpack did right to keep the ’Cats on their heels, they never went on that decisive run that would have ended a comeback threat. Barber lost the ball and N.C. State’s ninth turnover led to Josh Hart’s three-point play with 3:51 left.

The Wolfpack didn’t have to win with authority, though — they just had to win.

Desmond Lee’s threepoint play stretched the lead back to seven and put them minutes away from the signature win under coach Mark Gottfried.

Wins over Duke, North

Carolina and Louisville in ACC play let them know they could knock off the elite.

“We respect Villanova, but we’ve seen good teams,” Gottfried said.

“We’ve seen a lot of them in our conference. You see them about every night.

So a league like that prepares you for games like tonight.”

Gottfried also has a knack for pulling off March upsets — he led eighth-seeded Alabama to a win over No. 1 Stanford in the second round of the 2004 tournament.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — All the focus was on Georgia State’s bench because of Ron Hunter, the coach’s torn Achilles tendon, and the now famous stool he used to work the sidelines in the NCAA Tournament.

It was Xavier’s bench, though, that stole the show in a 75-67 win that sends the Musketeers to the Sweet 16 for the third time in six seasons under

coach Chris Mack.

“It’s a great feeling,” senior point guard Dee Davis said after reserves Jalen Reynolds and Myles Davis combined for 38 points to end the biggest feel-good story in the tourney.

Xavier shot 81 percent in the second half, making 13 of 16 shots. The Musketeers (23-13) were even better from the foul line, making 22 of 25 (88 per-

cent) for the game.

“They almost had to play the perfect game,” said Ron Hunter, who wept during Georgia State’s post-game news conference.

“I thought our game plan was great. If they had just made a couple mistakes here and there, and they just didn’t,” Hunter added. “They beat us, We didn’t beat ourselves. We can walk away a little bit

more proud.”

Xavier heads to Los Angeles for the West Regional semifinals.

They’ll face No. 2 seed Arizona, who’s led by former Xavier coach Sean Miller.

Mack is a former Miller assistant.

“Sean gave me a heck of an opportunity to come back to my alma mater.

He put a lot of responsibility and trust in me. He ultimately really pushed

Paige heats up as North Carolina beats Arkansas 75-64 to advance to Sweet 16

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — North Carolina coach Roy Williams declined to disclose how he celebrated in the locker room after getting back to the Sweet 16. The smile on his players’ faces made it clear it was something they had never seen.

Marcus Paige scored 22 points, including 20 in the second half, and the fourth-seeded Tar Heels North beat No. 5 seed Arkansas 87-78 in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in three years.

Things apparently got crazy in the locker room afterward.

“It would be the most embarrassing thing of my life probably, so I’ll just leave it like that,” Williams said. “But I do enjoy acting silly and having fun. I am emotional and wear my feelings on my sleeve a lot in both directions, very happily or very mad, too. ... I hope the cameras weren’t all over the locker room, let’s put it that way.”

This much we know: The game highlights will feature Paige.

The junior guard missed

seven of eight shots in the first half, including all three from 3-point range, and was pretty much a non-factor as the Tar Heels let the Razorbacks keep things close.

But he took over in the second half, scoring 13 of his team’s 17 points during a 5-minute stretch that helped North Carolina (26-

11) build a double-digit lead. The Tar Heels held on from there, thanks partly to Paige closing things out from the free-throw line and with his ball-handling skills.

“Well, if I could play just as well in the first half as I do in the second half, I would prefer to do that, but sometimes it happens that

way,” said Paige, who has been nicknamed “Second Half Paige.” ‘‘Sometimes, if you have a poor first half, you want to do whatever you can to erase that and make up for it in the second, and that’s what I’ve been able to do a couple times.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Brandon Taylor envisioned Utah finding success in this season’s NCAA Tournament. He just didn’t know how good it would feel.

Taylor scored 14 points and Delon Wright added 12 and the fifth-seeded Utes beat No. 4 Georgetown 75-64 on Saturday night to earn the team’s first Sweet 16 berth in a decade.

Utah (26-8) will travel to Houston to play the winner of Sunday’s game in Charlotte, North Carolina, between top-seeded Duke (30-4) and No. 8 San Diego

State (27-8).

“I knew we were due at the beginning of the season, I just didn’t know how the feeling would be. I saw it: We have the personnel, we put the work in during the summer,” Taylor said.

“But I just didn’t imagine what the feeling would be like. To experience it now, I’m lost for words.”

The Utes haven’t advanced to the Sweet 16 since 2005, when they fell as the No. 6 seed to No. 2 Kentucky. The team is making its first tournament appearance since 2009.

L.J. Peak led Georgetown

(22-11) with 18 points.

“I’m disappointed, but I still have my head high,” said Georgetown’s Jabril Trawick, who had 10 points. “Surprisingly, I didn’t cry or anything. I had a great time. It’s been a great experience. The group they have coming back is going to be a special team.”

Jordan Loveridge’s long jumper gave Utah a 57-53 lead late, but the Utes couldn’t quite pull away from the physical Hoyas.

After Peak’s layup brought Georgetown within 61-57 with 3:06 left, Taylor nailed a 3-pointer for Utah.

Dakarai Tucker’s layup stretched Utah’s lead to 66-59 at the 1:40 mark and Georgetown couldn’t catch up.

The Utes opened the tournament on Thursday with a 57-50 victory over No. 12 seed Stephen F. Austin, while Georgetown advanced with an 84-74 victory over No. 13 Eastern Washington.

The Hoyas haven’t been to the Sweet 16 since 2007, when they won as the second seed until losing to top-seeded Ohio State in the Final Four.

“It’s hard to play against one of your best friends in the business,” Mack added. “But it really won’t matter to our guys, nor will it matter to Arizona, because those guys don’t know me from a bucket of paint.”

sharp-shooting point guard changed the professional game and won the league MVP awards in 2005 and 2006 during a dominant stretch as the catalyst for coach Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense.

“It will always hurt that Phoenix Suns fans didn’t get the championship they deserved during our run,” said Nash, who spent 10 seasons in Phoenix during two tenures with the team.

“Yes, we had some bad luck, but I always look back at it and think, ‘I could’ve made one more shot, or not forced a turnover, or made a better pass.’ But I don’t regret anything. The arena was always sold out and rocking. It was the time of my life.”

Nash was born in South Africa, but grew up in British Columbia and starred in college at Santa Clara. After starting his NBA career with two quiet years in Phoenix, he rose to prominence with the Dallas Mavericks during the 2000-01 season alongside Michael Finley and Dirk Nowitzki, reaching the Western Conference finals.

After re-signing with Phoenix, Nash and D’Antoni led the Suns to the conference finals again, but repeatedly fell short of the NBA finals in painful fashion. Nash led the NBA in assists five times in seven seasons while scoring at least 14.7 points per game in each year, and he became one of just 10 players in league history to win consecutive MVP awards.

Nash’s success led to a proliferation of the sport in Canada, which has produced a stream of top-level players who grew up watching his success. Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins were the top picks in the last two NBA drafts.

Nash never had success with the Lakers, who mortgaged their future to sign him to a $28 million contract in 2012, trading four draft picks to Phoenix in a bid to build a championship team around Kobe Bryant

lings with an improbable comeback that eliminated No. 3 seed Baylor.

Hunter was already a big story after tearing his left Achilles tendon celebrating his team winning the Sun Belt Conference title. He then enjoyed a father-son moment he’ll always cherish after R.J. Hunter won the game with a 30-foot shot that earned the Panthers a game against Xavier.

and Dwight Howard.

Nash, whose health problems began in Phoenix, agreed to the move so he could chase his first championship while still living fairly close to his three children with his ex-wife.

But Nash struggled with injuries in Los Angeles from his second game, when he broke a bone in his left leg. After managing just 15 games last season, a persistent back problem prevented Nash from suiting up at all this year, making his retirement a long-expected formality.

“When I signed with the Lakers, I had big dreams of lifting the fans up and lighting this city on fire,” Nash wrote. “I turned down more lucrative offers to come to L.A. because I wanted to be in the ‘fire,’ and play for high risk and high reward in my last NBA chapter. In my second game here, I broke my leg and nothing was the same.”

Nash remembers a standing ovation from Staples Center fans when he returned to the court last spring as “one of my best memories.”

Nash has said he agreed to delay the announcement of his retirement last fall because the Lakers hoped to have a chance to trade his expiring contract for assets at the trade deadline last month. Nash is making $9.7 million this season, and his deal counts against the struggling Lakers’ salary cap.

Nash, a part-owner of MLS’ Vancouver Whitecaps, hasn’t decided what he’ll do now that basketball isn’t his primary pursuit and muse.

“Obviously, I value my kids and my family more than the game,” Nash said.

“But in some ways having this friend — this ever-present pursuit — has made me who I am, taught me and tested me, and given me a mission that feels irreplaceable. I am so thankful. I’ve learned so many invaluable lessons about myself and about life.”

God Saw She Was Getting Tired God saw she was getting tired And a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around her And whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes we watched her suffer And saw her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Gloria “Dolly” Grace (Gangemi) Glenn

Longtime Roswell businesswoman and founder of Glenn’s Furniture, Gloria “Dolly” Grace (Gangemi) Glenn, passed away on Saturday, March 14, 2015 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Services will be held at 10 a.m.

Gloria will lie in state at LaGrone Funeral Chapel on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 and Wednesday, March 25, 2015.

Gloria Grace (Gangemi) Glenn was born on July 3, 1928 to Salvatore and Selena (Tedesco) Gangemi in Jersey City, New Jersey.

After attending Jersey City schools and graduating from Secretarial Business Academy at the age of 16, her first job was working for Colgate-Palmolive Company’s main office on the 80th floor of the Empire State Building.

She met the love of her life, Bill Glenn, while he

was on leave from the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier.

They were married a year later on April 20, 1947 in Jersey City, NJ. She and Bill started Monticello TV and Radio and ran that business until moving to Roswell in 1953. In April of 1953 they founded Glenn’s TV and Appliance that later evolved into Glenn’s Furniture. In November 1967, Bill and Gloria were in a tragic truck accident that took his life and critically injured her.

During a two-year stay at St. Mary’s Hospital and over 20 operations, she started maintaining the store books from her hospital bed. When she was released from the hospital she would have the Glenn’s delivery crew pick her up in her wheelchair and deliver her to her office then return her home after work. She always had a will to exceed and do her best to protect her family. She pioneered the way for women to be successful, independent business owners. Gloria operated Glenn’s Furniture until her retirement.

Gloria was a member of Business and Professional Women’s Association and was on the committee that raised money from all the businesses in Roswell to purchase the original angel Christmas decorations for Main Street. She was an active member of Beta Sigma Phi and held each office during her tenure.

She also enjoyed her turn as a Cub Scout den mother. She always found time for family and friends. Gloria always had a smile on her face and was kind and considerate to everyone.

Gloria found happiness again with Cliff Kamprath and they were together for 18 years until his death.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her four brothers Pat, Rocco, Sal and Buddy, four sisters, Josie, Rose, Mary and Nettie, her daughter Sharon Jackson, and grandson Lance Jackson.

Pallbearers will be Steve Barotta, Frank Falcicchio, Rich Falcicchio, Jeff Kamprath, Kyle Glenn, and Jeff Bannister.

Honorary pallbearers will be the entire Glenn Family.

The family would like to thank Maupin & Brown Dentistry, Dr. Ben Smith, Dr. Braik, Dr. Scaly, Kymera Cancer Center, Gentiva Hospice and wonderful staff.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The United States and Iran broke off nuclear negotiations ahead of schedule Friday, setting up make-or-break talks next week for a deal providing long-term assurance to the world that the Iranians cannot develop nuclear weapons. The sides were close to an agreement, a top Russian official said.

The session in the Swiss city of Lausanne was interrupted on its sixth day so members of the Iranian delegation could attend the funeral of their president’s mother. Those departing included Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, the main negotiating partner of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Hossein Fereydoon, a brother

of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Diplomats didn’t promise a breakthrough this week, but strove to make as much progress as possible with a March 31 deadline for a framework accord looming.

Top Russian negotiator Sergey Ryabkov told The Associated Press that while some disputes remain, the U.S., Iran and five other world powers negotiating the deal are expected to “finish their main work” before the talks resume next week. He spoke shortly before Kerry’s last meeting with Zarif on Friday. This week’s discussions had been tentatively extended to go into Saturday.

Plans for leisurely visit in Tunisia turn to horror TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Around lunchtime, the crackle of gunfire broke the leisurely calm of a visit to one of Tunisia’s best-known museums: At least two attackers went on a rampage targeting tourists. By the end, after police traded fire with the gunmen and special forces barreled in, the duo and 21 others were dead.

Tunisia’s deadliest terror attack in more than a decade jolted locals out of their daily routines and took the cherished lives of visitors to this democracy-minded North African country of 11 million, according to Associated Press interviews with witnesses, victims and a police official.

Wednesday’s attack at Tunis’ National Bardo Museum, claimed by the Islamic State group that has sought to spread its bloodthirsty influence beyond its base in Syria and Iraq, drew immediate condemnation from many world leaders and promises from Tunisian officials and citizens that they won’t bow to terror.

Miami resident Giovana Gonzalez had just finished a brief bathroom break at the end of a museum tour when attackers “started shooting everybody.”

“Everyone ran in different directions,” Gonzalez told reporters after disembarking from her cruise ship Friday in Barcelona. Gonzalez, 46, and her husband were on a cruise to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

Bombings in Yemeni mosques kill more than 130

ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Quadruple suicide bombers on Friday hit a pair of mosques controlled by Shiite rebels in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, unleashing blasts through crowds of worshippers that killed at least 137 people and wounded around 350 others in the deadliest violence to hit the fragile war-torn nation in decades.

A group claiming to be a Yemeni branch of the Islamic State group said it carried out the bombings and warned of an “upcoming flood” of attacks against the rebels, known as Houthis, who have taken over the capital and much of Yemen. The claim, posted online, could not immediately be independently confirmed and offered no proof of an Islamic State role.

If true, Friday’s bombing would be the first major attack by IS supporters in Yemen and an ominous sign that the influence of the group that holds much of Iraq and Syria has spread to this chaotic nation. The claim was posted on the same web bulletin board where the Islamic State affiliate in Libya claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s deadly attack on a museum in Tunisia.

A significant presence of Islamic State group supporters would add an alarming new element to the turmoil in this fragmenting nation. Yemen is already home to the most powerful branch of the al-Qaida network — which is a rival of IS. On Friday, al-Qaida militants seized control of a southern provincial capital, al-Houta, in the group’s most dramatic grab of territory in years.

Meanwhile, the Shiite rebels’ capture of the capital and a large swath of the country — at least nine of its 21 provinces — has raised fears of a civil war tinged with sectarianism. The government of the internationally backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, has fled to the southern port city of Aden, where it battled on Thursday with supporters of the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has allied with the Houthis.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the Yemeni branch is called, has also been battling for months against the Houthis in various parts of the country.

But the group issued an official statement denying it carried out Friday’s bombings, pointing to earlier instructions from the terror network’s leader Ayman al-Zawahri not to strike mosques or markets.

In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. had seen no indications of an operational link between the Islamic State group and Friday’s attacks. He said the U.S. was investigating to see whether the IS branch in Yemen has the command-and-control structure in place to substantiate its claim of responsibility.

Earnest said it was plausible that IS was falsely claiming responsibility for the incident. “It does appear that these kinds of claims are often made for a perception that it benefits their propaganda efforts,” Earnest said.

In past months, there have been several online statements by individual Yemeni militants declaring allegiance to the Islamic State group. The IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, formally accepted their oaths and declared a “province” of IS in Yemen in November. He and his deputies in Iraq have vowed to strike against the Houthis in Yemen. That has raised questions about wheth-

er direct operational links have also arisen. For example, In Libya, where IS also declared official “provinces,” fighters and officials are known to have been sent from the group’s core to build the local branch.

Friday’s bombings left scenes of bloody devastation in the Badr and al-Hashoush mosques, located across town from each other in Sanaa. Both mosques are controlled by the Shiite Houthis, but they also are frequented by Sunni worshippers. Footage from the al-Hashoosh mosque showed screaming volunteers using bloodied blankets to carry away victims, with a small child among the dead lined up on the mosque floor.

Two bombers hit each mosque during midday Friday prayers, when large crowds turn out to attend weekly sermons. The rebel-owned Al-Masirah TV channel said the casualty figures had reached 137 dead and 345 injured. A prominent Shiite cleric, al-Murtada al-Mansouri, and two senior Houthi leaders were among the dead, the TV channel reported.

It also reported that a fifth suicide bomb attack on another mosque was foiled in the northern city of Saada — a Houthi stronghold.

In the Badr mosque, the first bomber was caught by guards searching worshippers at the gate, where he detonated his device. In the ensuing panic, a second bomber entered the mosque and blew himself up amid the crowd, according to the official news agency SABA. “I fell on the ground and when I regained consciousness I found myself lying in a lake of blood,” one survivor, Ahmed al-Gabri, told the AP. Two worshippers next to him were killed in the explosions, then another died when one of the mosque’s large glass chandeliers fell on him, al-Gabri said.

Another survivor, Sadek al-Harithi, said the explosions were like “an earthquake where I felt the ground split and swallow everyone.”

In the al-Hashoosh mosque, one witness said he was thrown two meters away by one of the blasts and found the floor strewn with body parts.

“Blood was running like a river,” Mohammed al-Ansi said.

UN health agency resisted declaring Ebola emergency GENEVA (AP) — In a delay that some say may have cost lives, the World Health Organization resisted calling the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a public health emergency until last summer, two months after staff raised the possibility and long after a senior manager called for a drastic change in strategy, The Associated Press has learned.

Among the reasons the United Nations agency cited in internal deliberations: worries that declaring such an emergency — akin to an international SOS — could anger the

African countries involved, hurt their economies or interfere with the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.

Those arguments struck critics, experts and several former WHO staff as wrong-headed.

“That’s like saying you don’t want to call the fire department because you’re afraid the fire trucks will create a disturbance in the neighborhood,” said Michael Osterholm, a prominent infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota.

In public comments, WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan has repeat-

edly said the epidemic caught the world by surprise.

“The disease was unexpected and unfamiliar to everyone, from (doctors) and laboratory staff to governments and their citizens,” she said in January. Last week, she told an audience in London that the first sign that West Africa’s Ebola crisis might become a global emergency came in late July, when a consultant fatally ill with the disease flew from Liberia to a Nigerian airport.

But internal documents obtained by AP show that senior directors at the

health agency’s headquarters in Geneva were informed of how dire the situation was early on and held off on declaring a global emergency. Such an alert is meant to trigger a surge in outside help, or, as a WHO document put it, “ramps up political pressure in the countries affected” and “mobilizes foreign aid and action.”

When WHO experts discussed the possibility of an emergency declaration in early June, one director viewed it as a “last resort.”

Signs of a heart attack are rarely this obvious.

During a heart attack, every minute matters. So, know the warning signs.

A time to remember loved ones

By Dylanne Petros Vistas Editor

A time to remember lost loved ones and pray for them will be taking place at First United Methodist Church on Palm Sunday.

The service is called a requiem, said John Fuss, music director for First United Methodist Church, and the typical requiem is often sung completely in Latin.

The requiem that First United Methodist will be singing is called the Ellingboe Requiem because it was composed by Brad Ellingboe.

The reason Fuss chose the requiem, he said, is because the choir has sung it twice before and First United Methodist Church has a relationship with Ellingboe, who is the director of choral activities at the University of New Mexico.

A traditional requiem is sung completely in Latin.

“Many composers, including Brad Ellingboe, have chosen to deviate from the tradition liturgical form use other readings other than the traditional liturgical text,” Fuss said.

The beginning of the service, Fuss said, begins with what is called a kyrie. The kyrie is a prayer that asks for God’s

and Christ’s mercy.

After the kyrie, the requiem moves into the sanctus, which is where the choir proclaims God is holy. Then there is Benedictus, which follows along with the proclamation that God is holy.

The final part of a requiem, Fuss said, is the lux aetarna, which is a set of prayers.

The Ellingboe Requiem is different than traditional requiems because it is sung in English and Latin and the composer added poetry to the piece, Fuss said. “(Ellingboe) begins and his thoughts were the people who have experienced the loss are angry and uncertain,” he said.

“I think the most powerful expression of that comes in the … second (movement).”

The second movement, Fuss said, is a reading of Psalm 22.

“It begins, if we do it right, sounding very angry,” he said. “Brad said to the people in New Orleans … ‘God has broad shoulders. It’s OK to shout at God. He can take it.’”

The main point of the second movement, he said, is to ask God why

Chamber to host annual event with new speaker

By Dylanne Petros Vistas Editor

This year’s Rise with Roswell will feature a new speaker.

Jay Hill, a vegetable, beef and nut producer from New Mexico, will speak at the annual event, which starts at 6:45 a.m. Thursday.

“We’re real excited he’s coming,” said Dorrie Faubus-McCarty, executive director of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce.

Hill was asked to be the speaker because dairy producers recommended him, Faubus-McCarty said.

“He just said, ‘Heck yeah, I’d love to do it,’” she said.

The event will be catered

by Maddox Hobbs and trepresentatives from the city and the county will be present.

“We will have proclamations from the city and from the county because, of course, agriculture is in our entire county,” Faubus-McCarty said.

There are more than 25

sponsors helping to put on Rise with Roswell this year.

“We would never be able to do anything if we didn’t have sponsors,” Faubus-McCarty said. “The sponsors are people (who think) it’s important … to salute agriculture.”

Faubus-McCarty said agriculture is a huge part of Roswell, even though the UFO crash overshadows it.

“Everybody thinks it’s all about aliens and of course we are to a degree,” she said. “We also have … so many other things.”

At the top of the list of other things there are in Roswell, Faubus-McCarty said agriculture is at the top of the list.

“It’s very important that we let our agriculture community know that we want to honor them,” she said.

Tickets for the event are $10 and can be picked up at the chamber.

Along with Rise with Roswell, the Chamber of Commerce has many more activities coming up, including

Porter Cutrell, principal at University High School, spoke to the Sunrise Optimist Club Wednesday to talk about the Early College High School Program, which is finishing up the first year. The program allows high schoolers to receive dual credit and graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree. Students in the program take classes at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell. Students interested in enrolling in the program must be a freshman in high school for the 2015-16 school year and can call University High School at 627-2750 to get an application.

he allowed the loved one to die.

After the second movement, the requiem moves into the sanctus, Fuss said.

“This one (Ellingboe) likens it to a drinking song,” Fuss said. “I think possibly as a way to drown our sorrows, which is a pretty human response.”

The Lord’s Prayer, he said, is immediately after the sanctus. The Lord’s Prayer is the main reason Fuss looked at the requiem.

“It’s gorgeous,” Fuss said. “I think the reason that he uses that setting and the fact that it is the centerpiece of the entire requiem, I think, is because we’re starting to come to terms with the death of the loved one.”

The choir, he added, loves the piece and loves performing it.

“I would go as far as saying … because of that lyrical nature, because of that comforting, the flowing and everything, that we are beginning to under-

Roswell Daily Record stand that death is a part of life and we’re beginning to accept that,” Fuss said.

The Lord’s Prayer, said Judy Armstrong, one of the singers, is comforting and is not as heavy as a lot of Lord’s Prayers are.

After the Lord’s Prayer, Fuss said the requiem moves into the poem.

One of the poems, “Evensong,” Fuss said, was a poem Ellingboe heard in high school that left an impact on the composer.

“This then becomes really the exclamation point of the work,” Fuss said.

After the exclamation point of the requiem, Fuss said there is a part that is supposed to represent the gates of heaven “flinging wide” and that is supposed to be the most dramatic point in the piece.

“From that point on, we accept he death of this loved one,” Fuss said.

Afterwards, the requiem returns to the beginning. The choir “instinctively” sings the first part differently the second time around, he said.

“That was (Ellingboe)’s intent,” Fuss said.

Fuss said the choir heard Ellingboe was going to conduct in New Orleans the same time they received an invitation to travel there in March. After receiving the invitation to travel there, Ellingboe contacted Fuss and told him to bring a choir so they could perform together.

“It was just a natural progression to prepare them to go to New Orleans and prepare all of us to sing it on Psalm Sunday,” Fuss said.

The choir that will be performing the requiem includes singers from Roswell and Artesia.

“We really enjoy singing with each other and it’s nice to have a community group,” Armstrong said.

The requiem will be performed at 7 p.m. March 29 at First United Methodist Church, 200 N. Pennsylvania Ave. “It’s a beautiful way to start Holy Week,” Armstrong said.

Kiwanis recently hosted its 46th annual Pancake Festival. The festival is a major fundraiser for the club. This year’s pancake breakfast was dedicated to the late Hugh Puckett, a 28-year member of the Kiwanis Club and the top pancake ticket seller. This year the club served 1,300 people and raised approximately $10,000 toward youth projects. In addition to the Kiwanis Club members, there were many young adults from the middle and high schools working in a variety of positions to make the event a huge success. The young adults are members of the Kiwanis-sponsored Builders Clubs for adolescents and Key Clubs for teens.

C4 Sunday, March 22, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My family is big on sports and discusses them at every gathering, big or small. I played sports growing up, but I don't care to follow them in my adult life like the rest of my family does. Sometimes I'm left out of conversations because of my lack of knowledge on the current stats, etc. I have always refrained from speaking about the things I'm passionate about because of lack of interest from them.

My good friend said maybe I'm considered less of a man by my brothers and my dad

Comics because of my apathy about sports. I served eight years in the Army, with four deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan, and was wounded twice. Not a man?

This issue may seem childish, but it is something that affects me to this day. Do you have any suggestions?

SITTING ON THE SIDELINES DEAR SITTING: Yes. Stop listening to the armchair analysis of that "friend." When sports enthusiasts spout statistics, what they really want is someone to listen and appreciate their acumen.

It's sad that you haven't been able to let your father and brothers know about the things that interest you, but has it occurred to you perhaps you should have spoken up more about your passions? Not everyone is the same; not everyone is interested in the same things. It doesn't mean that anyone is more or less "manly" than someone else. You're a military vet, so stop measuring

yourself by anyone else's yardstick because it isn't fair to you or to your family.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I just married a wonderful man. "Derrick" is loving, considerate, helpful, smart, hard-working, and he wants to spend time with me as often as possible.

This is my second marriage.

I have five kids ages 11 to 15, work full-time and try to fit in regular exercise. When my kids are with their dad, Derrick is home every minute I'm there and we do a lot together -- hiking, biking, running, movies, dining or just hanging out. He leaves for work after I do and comes home before I arrive.

My issue is, if I want any time alone, I have to leave the house. I used to have alone time before I met him, but now it's very rare. Abby, I need a little time for myself once in a while. I am very independent and don't need a compan ion every minute of every day.

Roswell Daily Record

I'm becoming unhappy and depressed because I have no privacy.

I have told Derrick what I need, but how do I realistically get him out of the house so I can have some time to myself?

He has a lot of friends, but he wants to spend his time with me. He isn't controlling or weird or jealous, but I'm feeling smothered.

NEEDS SPACE IN NEVADA DEAR NEEDS: Suggest Derrick schedule some regular dates with his male friends -- a golf game, card game, some other sporting event, etc. He might enjoy that, and it will give you the breathing room you need.

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 www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Here is a response to a SOUND OFF that ran recently about shopping carts being left in handicapped spaces: "This is regarding a previous Sound Off about people leaving shopping carts at handicapped parking spaces. I had to use a walker while recovering from back surgery, and I always liked to find a cart next to handicapped parking.

I could leave my walker in the car and use the cart as a walker to get into the store. When I carried groceries out to the car, I always left the cart in the blue-striped area next to the space for the next person to use."

F.B., Birmingham, Ala. That is a good point. Some people may need to use the carts to get into the store. Maybe the stores could consider placing cart corrals by the handicapped parking spots.

That way, carts aren't just left out.

Then everyone could win.

Dear Heloise: We have a seasonal home during the winter months. This year, we are having problems with our recliner having squeaky springs. What can we do to eliminate the squeaks without having to take the furniture apart and trying to oil the springs? -- Joan in Florida Unfortunately, once a chair starts squeaking, the only way to take care of the problem is to oil it.

You can contact the manufacturer to see if it will send someone out to look at the chair, but you should be able to oil the chair yourself pretty easily. Lay down a plastic tarp and flip the chair over in the reclined position. Remove the bottom covering, if necessary, and oil the springs and hinges using mineral oil or a spray lubricant. Wipe away any excess, and flip the chair back over.

Leave the chair on the plastic dropcloth for a day to catch any drips.

Hope this helps your squeaky situation!

They are great for scrubbing grout lines, around the sink or any other grooves you might need to clean. A lot of times, they are softer than the abrasive sponges and are better at getting into tight spaces.
