Mayor discusses splash pads, mental health

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

RDR: What are the primary effects, what would prioritize as the major effects of the Legislature blockage of the capital outlay?

DK: That’s an interesting question. Our No. 1 request was $8 million for a portion of the hangar project we want to do out there at the airport. That’s that hangar large enough for a Boeing 747-8. The concept is that the state would

put up $8 million and the city would have bonded, based upon rent payments, from a tenant of $7.5 million so we would have had the money to build it. And the idea is it would bring additional jobs to Roswell.

That was always going to be a stretch. We knew that going in, $8 million is a big chunk and we knew that.

I’m not ready to give up on it. There was approval in HB 2 for about $37 million in what they call LEDA (Local Economic Development Act) money. Can we get some of that, can we come up with additional revenues to make the difference? I want to explore that. And understand why this is a big issue for me.

This airport here is a huge asset for this community.

And many of us have felt for a long time we haven’t fully utilized it, we haven’t maximized its potential for economic activity. We do have companies out there already. We have the aircraft painting, Dean Baldwin, we have maintenance repair and overhaul companies. They’ve been there for a long time but how do we take it to a next level because those hangars we have there are old, they were built in the ‘50s mostly and it’s great for B-29, B-47 but it doesn’t fit for a large jumbo jet. So if we want to be able to do fullblown maintenance here that means we need to

have an infrastructure. The runway is an infrastructure, 13,000 feet. Great. We need a hangar that would go with that. Well we didn’t get what we wanted. We don’t give up on it. We keep looking at other options.

As to the other stuff, we also asked, if I remember right, some serious funding dealing with water lines. We’re also proceeding forward with that anyway. We’re looking at using our ability to use revenue from the water payments or water bills to fund bonds to do the serious replacement we need to do. In the next month or so you will see the beginning of a Kintigh

Most 11-year-old girls — who are in that awkward age group that is too old for toys but too young for boys — will spend their money on clothes, shoes, purses and whatever else it takes to look cool and fit in with the other girls at school.

State Briefs Garnet mining gets financial approval

ALAMOGORDO (AP) — A historic southern New Mexico mining town that once shined with the gold rush could sparkle again with some garnet.

Otero County commissioners approved financial assistance Tuesday for a proposed garnet mining operation in Orogrande.

Commissioners and the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce have been in talks with former Rosemont Realty CEO Dan Burrell about the $20 million project.

Burrell discovered in 2013 what could be the largest freestanding deposits of garnet in the U.S. in the Jarilla Mountains Mineral District. He has proposed establishing a mine and a crushing plant in Otero County and is even investing $3 million of his own resources.

drug dealer may be operating in the area, the impact drugs have on a community, and what citizens can do to help police apprehend drug dealers and users.

Chamber of Commerce President Mike Espiritu said the project would create 47 high-paying jobs and give business to Otero County Electric Cooperative. The goal is to start production in 2016.

Brothers get murder charges in federal court

FARMINGTON (AP) — Authorities say three brothers ganged up to fatally stab a Fruitland man who was dating an ex-girlfriend of one of the siblings.

The Farmington Daily Times reports that 36-yearold Maynard Shirley was charged in federal court Friday with murder and assault resulting in serious bodily injury in the killing of Brandon BlueEyes. His brother, 29-year-old Elijah Shirley, was charged with the same counts Wednesday.

Those attending the presentation can begin to arrive at the police station, 128 W. Second St., at 5:45 p.m. The public is asked to enter on the south side of the building, using the east door. RPD personnel will be present to direct people to the meeting location inside.

Correction An article in Saturday’s edition should have stated that a memorial service for Dr. William G. Liakos, Sr., who died on Monday, will be held on Saturday, April 11, at 2 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 503 N. Pennsylvania Ave. The Daily Record apologizes for the error and any inconveniences it may have caused.

major project out on Country Club where we’re going to go from right around Montana and Country Club and go west and put in a 36-inch line. You may remember we had a serious leakage issue right there at Country Club and Montana. A line had cracked. It was a major pain. We couldn’t shut it down because the valves had not been exercised like they should have been and they got corroded. We went in and spent a bunch of money to temporarily patch that up. This is permanent.

If we keep going west on Country Club we get up to what’s called Six Mile Hill.

That’s where our main reservoirs are. That’s the main water line that comes in.

Those lines are starting to fail and they’re 36-inch or 48-inch or 42-inch. They’re all different. That’s the kind of infrastructure work we need to get done. We wanted that in the capital outlay. Once again, we’re going to have to come up with alternative sources. I think the best way to look at it is we’re going to be responsible for ourselves. The state’s not going to come in with a bunch of things. We as a city of Roswell have got to step up and address these issues.

RDR: The first thing I heard about Monday, in regard to the city, was the Yucca Center. Now the Yucca Center needs a new roof?

DK: Oh yeah. We had an engineering study done, I believe it was two years ago. We had $500,000 in capital outlay allocated to repair the roof and deal with the air conditioning.

I don’t where that number came from. When we had an engineering study this fall we actually paid a firm, I think it was about $4,000, to go over the whole building and the intent was “tell us what it would take to restore this building to full functionality, compliance with all the ADA and everything for a life of 20 years.” The bare-bones estimate was $5.5 million. The roof can’t even be fixed for $500,000.

There was never going to be enough money to repair the roof. So what do we do? The conclusion that the council acted upon was to explore replacing the Yucca Center. I believe there was a resolution on that in December. How do we do this? We’re looking

RDR: Do you think 51 percent of the residents to decide that is too low because, for instance, when a city does an annexation it’s something like 75 percent?

DK: I don’t know an answer to that one. My gut tell me it’s got to be more than just 51 percent. I can’t give you a number.

Maybe there isn’t one. It’s not easy. There’s not a simple answer there.

RDR: One of the fun stories I was working on recently concerned the conceptual drawings for the signs. One of these looked like a casino sign on the Las Vegas Strip.

How much is too much to spend? Where is your cutoff point?

DK: The good news is we’ve got funds to do this.

It’s not our general fund.

It’s what’s called our lodgers tax revenue that we can utilize for that. Not that it’s not tax dollars, don’t get me wrong, but it’s monies that is intended to use for promotion and I think that becomes one of those “I will recognize it when I see it” situations. How long is it going to last. That’s a huge issue right there. I don’t have a definite answer for you.I’ve glanced at some of the concepts and it’s not going to be my decision. It’s going to be the decision of a lot of others.

RDR: The thing with the city parks director.

Is the city doing its own investigation to see if it’s beyond just one person?

DK: No, that’s not appropriate. What we have is a personnel action being conducted by the Human Resources Department and the city manager. I can’t comment on it. I can tell you that it’s being handled through the standard procedures. Any kind of law enforcement option would be completely handled by our law enforcement entities. What I will tell you is we do have random drug testing for all city employees.

RDR: That started when?

DK: It’s been going on for a couple of years at least.

RDR: The city’s private investigator hasn’t been retained to look into it?

DK: No. Not that I’m aware of anyway. The way I look at that it’s really a law enforcement, criminal justice matter. And I would be opposed to trying to do

of that money over from the Yucca roof, and I’ve been approached by a very generous, local businessman who wishes to remain anonymous, at least at this time, who would be willing to help finance that.

So if we can combine those funds we can possibly get something this summer.

RDR: What is the price tag on one splash pad?

DK: It’s somewhere between $180,000 and $250,000. There’s a couple of questions about (the systems) the water-filtration versus recycled, using fresh (water). There’s a lot of different variations. I’ve seen them with my grandkids when I’ve gone in the summertime. They’re amazing.

Kids love them. They have a blast. It’s a lawn sprinkler on steroids. It’s not a pool. You can’t do swim teams. But you have little kids that want to cool off in the summer.

RDR: Do you have an eyeball for a location?

DK: I would like to put it near the Boys & Girls Club.

I want to put it maybe in Poe Corn Park. That’s tentative. That’s just Dennis Kintigh’s preference. That area over there (East Second Street near Garden) is an area where’s there’s a lot of at-risk children. Let’s be candid. It’s a hurting part of our community. We need to make sure that we have the resources there to help those families and I personally would like to see us go there.

RDR: You going to do a photo-op for us? (Laughter) DK: Sure. (Laughter) The other advantage is it’s right on a main street, highly visible.

RDR: Is Poe Corn Park near where Poe Corn Street is gong to be?

DK: You guys have heard my comments about renaming streets. My concern is more impact upon the people that live and work and have businesses on the street. It’s not a trivial thing to have to change your address. You got to send a change of address to everybody and his brother. And that’s a move. You have to let your first responders know and update all that. It gets a little complicated. I’m not saying it can’t be done but I would not want to impose that on people that live there. I’d like them to embrace it. And if they don’t we have to seriously reconsider.

at a couple things. We’re having discussions with the RISD about seeing if we can share the gyms that we have around town, and then we’ve got to look at long-range what do we do as far as a facility. Let me further complicate matters. The Boys & Girls Club — we’re also having some analysis and engineering studies done on that facility. That’s owned by the city, leased to Boys & Girls Club for a minimal amount. But there’s also some issues there. We would like to take some of that money allocated to the Yucca Center and use that to repair and restore the Boys & Girls Club because our general understanding is that the building is in much better shape but still needs work. The idea is to prevent structures from continuing to degrade.

We’ve got to get into this mode, and with this new administration, and by that I mean Mr. (City Manager Steve) Polasek and staff of not allowing facilities to be neglected, whether it’s water lines or recreation centers. We’ve got to move aggressively on dealing with maintenance issues.

Otherwise you end up with things like the Yucca Center where you suddenly have a $5.5 million (problem). That’s not worth it.

If we get ahead on maintenance — this applies to streets, all of this — we’ll be in much better shape.

RDR: One of the things I noticed on capital outlay was the request for splash pads. Since that doesn’t seem to be happening from the state, is the city going to move forward with that?

DK: It’s interesting that you bring that up because part of that $500,000 from the Yucca roof, we’re looking at allocating some of that for a splash pad. The Boys & Girls Club swimming pool is not functional. It’s not been functional for three years now. It’s not repairable, absence of some incredibly huge amounts of money. Splash pads, if you’re familiar with them, offer a lot of advantages.

They have the same water, cooling fun thing for children to do without a lot of the added liabilities. You don’t have the same exposure of the swimming pools as far as liability and needing to have lifeguards.

RDR: What are the chances of you getting it up and running this summer?

DK: 50-50. We have the potential of moving some

Astronauts board space station for 1-year mission

BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP) — Two Russians and an American floated into the International Space Station on Saturday, beginning what is to be a year away from Earth for two of them.

Mikhail Kornienko and Scott Kelly are to spend 342 days aboard the orbiting laboratory, about twice as long as a standard mission on the station. Russia’s Gennady Padalka is beginning a six-month stay.

The three astronauts entered the station about eight hours after launching from Russia’s manned space facility in Kazakhstan. They were embraced by American Terry Virts and Russia’s Anton Shkaplerov who along with Italian Samantha Cristoforetti have been aboard since late November.

The trip is NASA’s first attempt

any kind of parallel or independent action. If something comes out of the law enforcement at a conclusion that the city manager felt required additional administrative inquiry, OK maybe down the road. But I don’t foresee it. I read the affidavit. I don’t see any connection to any other city personnel.

RDR: That must have been a relief.

DK: Yeah it is.

RDR: Phoenix flights.

The timetable was April.

DK: It’s not going to be here in April.

RDR: Is the offer still on the table?

DK: Yes. We had a meeting (myself, Polasek, EDC, the mayor of Artesia, the two key citizens of this community who are working this) with American

Not only is Alexia making an impressive donation for someone her age, but she will be the youngest team leader for this year’s walk.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone that young organize a team.

That’s unheard of for someone her age,” said Pebbles Cole, cancer survivor coordinator for the walk.

at a one-year spaceflight; four Russians have spent a year or more in space, all on the Soviet-built Mir space station.

The stay is aimed at measuring the effects of a prolonged period of weightlessness on the human body, a step toward possible missions to Mars or beyond.

Kelly’s identical twin Mark, a retired astronaut, agreed to take part in many of the same medical experiments as his orbiting sibling to help scientists see how a body in space compares with its genetic double on Earth. They are 51.

Kelly and Kornienko, 54, will remain on board until next March. During that time, they will undergo extensive medical experiments, and prepare the station for the anticipated 2017 arrival of new U.S. commercial crew

Airlines when they came to town three weeks ago.

The gist of it is the merger continues to be in many ways more about task than I think American anticipated. The consolidation of two companies. Since the first of the year, they finally established a collective bargaining agreement with the pilots and flight attendants.

The most recent effort that they were working on was the consolidation of the frequent flyer programs into one.

RDR: It sounds like corporate politics.

DK: It’s trying to figure out how do you merge these two entities. You’re going from four or five hubs to like 10. They’re picking up places like Philadelphia, Phoenix and in those kinds of corporate questions the issue do we start a flight from Roswell to Phoenix falls down in the scheme of things.

RDR: Didn’t the city put $500,000 ...?

DK: We have that money and it’s a minimum guarantee. Of course it doesn’t kick in until we actually begin. Here’s the gist of it. We are now told we are definitely in the pipeline.

American has been very pleased with the success of the ridership from Roswell to Dallas-Fort Worth.

We are in the pipeline. The terms they are using is late fall, early winter. We’re going to keep saying hey we’re still interested, we’re still interested. And I make the pitch that’s there’s much for American. They use Roswell for painting of some of their aircraft.

They store aircraft that are coming out of service here before they are sold or returned. ... We’re already in the escrow, shall we say.

Nothing’s been spent.

RDR: There’s some momentum brewing for

my heart,” said Julie Marrow, Walk for Hope chair.

Alexia is a quiet girl who doesn’t talk about herself that much, other than to tell you she likes math and dancing.

Then she adds, “I like to help people.”

The Walk for Hope is similar to the Relay for Life events held across the country that raise money for cancer treatment and research.

The two main differences are that Walk for Hope is an all-volunteer organization and that all the money raised stays in Chaves County.

To receive assistance

from Walk for Hope, an individual must live in Chaves County and have a cancer diagnosis.

The two men also will oversee the comings and goings of numerous cargo ships, as well as other

an organization to take over for Turquoise to provide mental health services.

DK: This one has had me nervous for quite a while. The current concept is La Casa de Buena Salud will assume the role of behavioral health for a service agency. This entity already has a clinic in Roswell. They’re down on South Grand. It’s near the county health office.

La Casa is what is called FQHC. I had no idea what an FQHC is eight weeks ago. I’ve learned a lot in this whole process. Federal Qualified Health Center. They’ve been designated as being a provider of service to an underserved population and therefore they qualify for enhanced Medicaid reimbursement.

Everybody’s been working very aggressively trying to get this resolved. La Casa takes over on April 1 and

Russian-launched space crews and an expected September visit from singer Sarah Brightman on a “space tourist” trip.

Doctors are eager to learn what happens to Kelly and Kornienko once they surpass the usual sixmonth stay for space station residents.

Bones and muscles weaken in weightlessness, as does the immune system. Body fluids also shift into the head when gravity is absent, putting pressure on the brain and the eyes, impairing vision for some astronauts in space.

The yearlong stint will allow doctors to assess whether such conditions are aggravated by a long spell in space or whether they reach a point of stasis or even taper off.

they will be in the same building. However, I am concerned. The consumers of behavioral health do not deal well with disruptions or changes. My concern is that some of these individuals will drop out of the system. They will just stop coming. They will not appear. I might be wrong.

My concern might be unfounded. We get through this transition next week and I would like to explore how to reach out to those to encourage to come back to the system to become involved again. Individuals who have needs of behavioral health, who are not in treatment, become individuals who are greater users of emergency rooms, they become involved in the criminal justice system. These are people who need to be in treatment not in court. I believe that fundamentally. I feel the serious problems that have

occurred in Albuquerque over the several years has been due to the fact the behavioral health has not been available for these individuals. Going back to the session, one of the bills that I was following the closest was a bill for what’s called assisted outpatient treatment. That bill died literally in the last hours.

For me, that was one of the great disappointments. We have people that need to be in treatment, they need to be encouraged to be in treatment and if we don’t care for them bad thing happen to them, their families and the community.

Roswell Daily Record

If I could be anything else ... auto mechanic!

I love being a newspaper editor and a writer. But if there was anything else I could be, I’d be an auto mechanic.

That probably sounds surprising coming from someone with a desk job who has a college degree, but I love working on cars.

I consider myself a shade-tree mechanic. I have never done anything on the level of a professional mechanic, like front-end work, valve jobs or engine or transmission rebuilds.

But I’ve done more than just routine maintenance like changing the oil and replacing filters and hoses. Among other things, I’ve done brake jobs (disc and drums), replaced shocks and struts, replaced exhaust systems, replaced starters, alternators and water pumps.

I even replaced a carburetor once, a somewhat sophisticated job, by setting aside enough time to do the entire job without interruption. As I dissembled the old carb with its maze of vacuum hoses, I laid everything on the ground next to the car and when I installed the new carb, did everything in reverse. I completely replaced all the vacuum hoses and connectors. Those parts are cheap

Timothy Howsare Ripcord into Reality and it didn’t make sense to put all the old hoses back on.

So why do I like working on cars so much? First and foremost, it’s the problem-solving aspect. That feeling of satisfaction when you turn the ignition and the damn thing finally starts.

Secondly, cars don’t talk back or get snooty. But people do.

In my job at the paper, I interact with people all day. While most of those interactions are positive, I do have to contend with some very unhappy people from time to time. Once last fall, I had a lady screaming obscenities at me — I thought I might have had to call the cops. Though out of frustration I’ve probably kicked a few cars in my lifetime, I’ve never had a call the cops on a single one.

Shade-tree mechanics like myself are probably a dying breed

because new cars are so sophisticated with all their computerized systems. It’s almost impossible nowadays for an average guy with a set of Craftsman wrenches to do anything on a car.

I own a 2013 Hyundai Accent, and I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know where either the oil filter or the starter is on that thing. On cars earlier than, let’s say, 1990, I can pop the hood open, look around and say, “Oh, this one’s a six-banger,” “That’s the alternator,” “That’s the starter right there under the right side of the engine,” “That’s the coil over there. Gee, those plug wires look pretty bad,” and so on. It was a manly feeling to be able to point to and name all the parts on a car engine.

Does my Accent even have plug wires? I’m assuming it does or how else would the spark plugs work, but I’ve never seen them.

I know it doesn’t have mechanical linkages or a vacuum system.

That question was answered on Friday when I happened to have lunch at an awards presentation at Roswell Honda.

The shop manager was sitting at my table and I asked him if modern cars still have mechanical linkages (e.g. gas pedal to carbure-

tor or fuel injectors; transmission shifter to automatic transmission) and he said no. It’s all electronic now.

He did say, however, there is a cable that goes from the gear shifter to the transmission.

Frankly, I don’t miss either mechanical linkages or vacuum systems. I’m sure I’m not the only one who remembers the days when you’d press on the gas and hear a hissing sound — telltale sign of a vacuum leak — coming from under the dash, but had no idea where it was coming from.

And mechanical linkages? I had experiences with both throttle and transmission linkages on my 1974 Plymouth Valiant, and neither were pleasant.

I’d be driving the Valiant, and for no apparent reason, the throttle would stick at 50 mph. I’d have to ride the brakes, pull over, whip out my great big screwdriver, open the hood, remove the air filter housing and unstick the throttle.

Not fun, especially when it happened in heavy traffic or winter when the roads were slippery.

Remember when the shifter for automatics was on the steering column? Remember how over time it would get loose and wobbly?

And how it was hard to tell just by looking whether you were in neutral or drive? That was caused by the deterioration and wear and tear on the rubber grommets that held together the metal pieces in the linkage that went from the shifter on the column to the transmission housing.

The shifter on my Valiant reached a point where I couldn’t get it out of “Park.” And, as I recall, the car wouldn’t start either because there was something called a “neutral-start switch” and with the linkage buggered up — Ignition System Disengaged.

I had my then-fiancée drive me to an auto parts store so I could buy new ones, taking one of the old grommets to show the auto parts guy what they looked like.

Turns out one of the stores were closed because it was a Monday federal holiday — either Memorial Day or Labor Day — I can’t remember which. But what I do remember is I absolutely had to drive my car on a trip Tuesday morning, so it was imperative to fix the car that day.

Then an idea popped into my head. Hardware stores sell grom-

Editorial

Cruz jumps into race with alternative to Obamacare Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday became the first Republican to officially announce his candidacy for the party’s 2016 presidential nomination.

He’s a long shot at this juncture, ranking eighth of the GOP’s 12 leading contenders, according to Real Clear Politics’ latest aggregated figures based on major polls. But that’s beside the point, as it’s 10 months before the first Republican presidential primary.

Mr. Cruz’s candidacy promises a welcome debate among those vying to be the GOP’s standard bearer about where, exactly, they stand on the range of issues; and on no issue more than Obamacare, which most of the GOP’s presidential hopefuls vow to repeal if elected.

Of course, the presidential election is still a long way off. In the much nearer term, the Supreme Court this summer may very well side with the plaintiffs in King v. Burwell. They argue that the Obama administration violated the provision of the 2010 Affordable Care Act that authorizes federal subsidies to those who obtain health insurance “through an exchange established by the state” and not the federal government.

If the plaintiffs do, indeed, prevail, some 7.5 million people will lose their Obamacare subsidies, making health insurance unaffordable for most of them. The question for Mr. Cruz and other Republican candidates is what their alternative to Obamacare would be.

Candidate Cruz’s answer is a bill he introduced this month, the Health Care Choice Act, which is co-sponsored by five Republicans, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential rival for the nomination.

Among other provisions, the measure would remove the Affordable Care Act’s insurance mandates and allow residents in one state to purchase health insurance plans in any other state.

It would not repeal the president’s law altogether, Mr. Cruz acknowledges.

Rather, it is part of a longer-term strategy to dismantle Obamacare by sending “bill after bill to the president’s desk to stop its harmful effects.”

As to the 7.5 million Americans who stand to lose their subsidies if the high court deals Obamacare a crippling blow this summer, Sen. Cruz said he is amenable to extending the subsidies until an alternative to the ACA is put in place.

It remains to be seen if Mr. Cruz’s proposal gains traction on Capitol Hill.

But at least he has set the bar on the health care issue for fellow Republicans aspiring to be president.

What is and isn’t gentrification?

No matter what you do, modern liberals will tell you you’re wrong.

For decades, liberals complained that American society is segregated because rich, white people don’t want to live in ethnically mixed neighborhoods. Sometimes, liberals had a point.

From the 1930s to 1960s, as rich white people moved into New York City, urban planner Robert Moses got city bureaucrats to condemn and destroy busy black neighborhoods. The city called the neighborhoods “blighted” and moved many of the poor into rent-subsidized apartment complexes called “projects.” Many quickly became slums.

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist Now times have changed.

Some rich, white people want to move into poorer, non-white neighborhoods because they like diversity (and cheaper real estate).

So today the newcomers are attacked by liberals because they cause “gentrification.”

Movie director Spike Lee, who lives in Brooklyn, said gentrifiers behave almost

like “Columbus and kill off the Native Americans.” Of course, the new gentrifiers don’t actually kill anyone, but because their arrival often leads to rising real estate values, critics complain that they drive poor people out of the neighborhood.

Two women in Brooklyn got so angry about it, they pulled out a gun, forced two white people out of an apartment and moved in (they were later arrested).

Columbia urban planning professor Stacey Sutton calls gentrification a “manifestation of inequality” that may “fundamentally alter the culture and character of the neighborhood” in ways that

hurt the poor.

Yet her own school did something worse. Columbia colluded with politicians to use eminent domain law to take pieces of the Harlem neighborhood that surrounds Columbia. In court, the school argued that it had the right to take neighbors’ land because it would “benefit West Harlem.”

Who owns the land is something that ought to be decided not by government but by free people making their own decisions about where they wish to live.

When gentrification happens that way, spontaneously, price rises are often accomSee STOSSEL, Page A5

Pet ownership has positive effects on health DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m on the fence about getting a dog. My wife claims that pets — particularly dogs — can improve our health. Is that true?

DEAR READER: When I was growing up, there was always a dog in the family.

And I mean “in the family”: They were a part of the family, often coming with us when we went on errands.

Some of my friends never had a pet, so I once asked my mother why we always had a dog. She replied: “Dogs are good for us.”

I remembered that answer when I got your question.

But I wasn’t sure of the “scientific” answer to your question, so I did some homework. When I looked into the

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate evidence, I found that there are many studies that indicate having a dog is linked to health in several ways.

Here’s what I learned: • PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. Regular exercise is the closest thing that exists to an all-purpose tonic for good health. Enter the dog. Dogs are perfect exercise buddies.

Whether we like it or not, they will encourage us to

go for a walk, be it raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing outside.

• REDUCED ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES IN KIDS. Most allergists now say children who are exposed to a dog from infancy onward are less likely to develop problems.

That appears to be true even in allergy-prone kids.

• CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS. A growing body of evidence is showing multiple benefits for heart health.

In 2013, the American Heart Association (AHA) issued a statement concluding that pet ownership is probably associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. How could that be?

Consider the next two benefits:

• BLOOD PRESSURE. In multiple studies, dog owners have been shown to have lower blood pressure than non-owners. That’s probably due to a combination of increased exercise and the calming effects that pets have on their owners.

• PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS. Dog ownership helps prevent loneliness, anxiety and depression. Each of these is, in turn, a risk factor for heart disease. Many people report feeling less fear and anxiety when they pet a dog. Dog ownership leads to less release of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn lowers stress-related increases in heart rate and blood See DR. K, Page A5

Be careful what street you walk down

Have you ever found yourself in a situation you don’t want to be in? You look up and ask yourself the question, “How did I get here?” or “What am I doing here?” You wish you could push “Stop” and then “Rewind” and then put a different tape in?

Do you ever pray “Lord, if you get me out of this I will never make this same mistake again?” I am sure it has happened to all of us.

And it is probable it will happen again in the days ahead.

There is a short book that illustrates this principal. It is only five short chapters long, but it truly illustrates how we often make poor decisions and then make the same stupid decisions again. The book is titled “There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk!” and is written by Portia Nelson. You might remember her from her acting in “The Sound of Music” and “Dr. Doolittle.” The book is referred to as “An Autobiography in Five Short Chapters.” Here is the book in its entirety: Chapter One. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in. I am lost...I am helpless. It isn’t my fault.

pressure.

Why all these benefits?

I think it’s because (most) dogs love us without reservation. There’s a prayer that makes this point: “Lord, help me to become the person my dog thinks I am.”

Dogs also seek our love, and that, too, has its benefits. Dogs add structure and routine to the day.

And the presence of an animal that requires care can turn a sick person’s focus outward and away from his or her symptoms and worries.

way out.

Chapter Two. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place, but it isn’t my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three. I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see that it is there. I still fall in...it’s become a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

Chapter Four: I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

Chapter Five. I walk down another street.

Let me break apart her story. In the first two chapters the writer has ended up in the same hole each time. She is claiming both times that it is

not her fault. In the first chapter she is surprised the first time she encounters the hole. In the second chapter she falls in the hole because she pretends it is not there. In both instances it takes a long time to get out. She has made the same mistake twice! At this point the writer is still not holding herself accountable for her actions. Why did she not learn from her first experience? Clearly the second falling in the hole could have been avoided had she learned from her mistake the first time.

If the book ended after the second chapter, the writer would not be holding herself accountable for her actions. Maybe the first time she fell in it could be a complete accident, but to fall in a second time and to say it was not her fault, she was living in a world of denial.

The writer takes the first step to conquering her problem in Chapter Three by admitting that it is her fault that she is in the hole. For the first time she acknowledges while she is in the hole that she has fallen into the hole because her actions.

She writes that her eyes

are wide open, yet it has become a habit. Because she is admitting she has a problem, there is hope for her to correct it.

Also in Chapter Three, the writer adds a new twist by getting out of the hole immediately. She knows she doesn’t belong in the hole and she has recognized that the hole is not a place she wants to be for very long. She understands in this middle chapter that she is both responsible for falling in the hole and that she has the power to get out of the hole immediately. She is properly taking responsibility for all of her actions.

Yet in Chapter Four the author, knowing the same hole is ahead, continues to put herself in the zone of danger by walking down the same street. She understands that she has a choice and that if she makes the right choice of walking around the hole, she can save herself the agony of having to crawl out of it.

Finally, in Chapter Five, the shortest of the already short chapters, the writer understands that she can move forward in her life without coming anywhere near the dreaded hole by

simply choosing to walk down a different street.

We can ask the question, “Why did it take five chapters for the writer to learn how to keep completely away from the hole?” Or we could praise the writer by saying she learned by the fifth chapter how to avoid the wrong decisions.

Many people’s books would contain a sixth, a 10th or a 20th chapter without ever getting the point of walking down a different street.

Some people set out to fall in the hole. Some people don’t set out to fall in the hole, but they choose to walk to the hole and, by moving too close, they routinely fall in. In this second instance, it is not their intent to fall in, but it occurs as a direct result of their behavior.

What street you walk down is your choice. Each day you have many different streets available to walk down. Many of the streets have holes. Many streets don’t have any holes. Whether or not you encounter a hole is dependent upon what street you choose.

What are the deep holes of your life? Do you repeatedly walk right into them?

Why?

My challenge to you today is identify the holes that you fall into. Once you identify the holes you can identify the streets that lead to the holes. You choose what streets you walk down. If you keep off the streets with holes in them, you can avoid the holes all together. There are countless streets without holes waiting to be walked.

When you find yourself looking up from within a hole, take responsibility for your actions. Recognize that it is no one else’s fault but your own that you are having to repeatedly crawl out of the hole. Recognizing that you are in control of your own life is the first step to conquering the holes in your life.

Just a thought.

significant displacement of the previous population. In his book “There Goes the ‘Hood,” Freeman writes, “poor residents and those without a college education were actually less likely to move if they resided in gentrifying neighborhoods.”

That’s because gentrification often means the neighborhood gets safer and more interesting.

That’s something the old residents enjoy as much as new ones.

The Economist reports

that a 2008 study of census data found “no evidence of displacement of low-income non-white households in gentrifying neighborhoods” and found that black incomes “soared” in gentrifying neighborhoods.

That doesn’t stop some people — often rich, white liberals — from complaining that gentrification destroys the quaintness of the neighborhood. They sound almost like the people who think that the developing world should

never be sullied by modern technology. Actually, sometimes the same people make both arguments.

In San Francisco, some longtime residents got so angry about Google employees moving in that they surrounded Google employee shuttle buses, waving protest signs.

It’s a fight between hippies and tech geeks, with the hippies calling for regulations to prevent change. Such regulations have perverse effects, however. They lead to long

waits for building permits and subsidies for housing that end up getting used by the well-connected and rich.

When regulation makes it harder to build or to alter old buildings, the effect is higher costs and reduced choices, which only makes things harder for the poor. Regulation saves some old things people like, but those people will never even know what new things they missed out on.

If nothing like gentri-

fication ever happened in the world, we all still would be living in the same caves our ancestors lived in thousands of years ago. I say, let free people keep transforming the neighborhood.

True grit: Spina bifida can’t keep this kid down

TEMPLE, Texas (AP) — Fernando Fonseca, 13, has the video on his phone of his two-point conversion play taken during last fall’s Hico vs. Goldthwaite seventh-grade football game and he’s more than happy to share it with anyone who’s interested in watching.

It was Fernando’s first time to play. He had been pestering his coach about allowing him in the game, but the coach was a tad skeptical about allowing the youngster play. Fernando has spina bifida.

During the play, Fernando, using his walker

backward, decided to add something to the “Fernando Special,” a maneuver developed just for him, when he launched himself forward to make the score.

The launching part was Fernando’s addition and was a surprise to everyone, even the coach.

Not one to sit idle, Fernando is now participating in track. The 100-yard is his sprint of choice.

“When I’m in ninth grade, I think I’m going to play baseball,” he told the Temple Daily Telegram while a patient at McLane

Children’s Hospital Scott & White.

Spina bifida literally means “split spine,” according to the Spina Bifida Association.

Spina bifida happens when a baby is in the womb and the spinal column does not close all of the way. Every day, about eight babies born in the United States have spina bifida or a similar birth defect of the brain and spine.

The fact that Fernando is participating in sports at his school is amazing, both

physically and psychologically, said Dr. Christopher Souder, orthopedic surgeon at McLane Children’s.

“Fernando has overcome a lot,” Souder said. “He has a lot of weakness in his lower extremities and he’s not let that get him down and he uses assisted devices, like walkers, when needed.”

Fernando has a strong heart and a lot of support in the community that has allowed him to do things that others have not, he said.

What will it take for us to understand distracted driving?

By Steve Wolfe Roswell Neighborhood Watch In July of 2010, I wrote the first of my columns about cellphones as a driving hazard. There had been a horrible accident south of Canyon, Texas, in which a young man, age 22, had hit and killed a 54-yearold, highly experienced bicyclist as she rode her bike where she had ridden so many times before. The young man had apparently dropped his phone to the floor of his vehicle, took his eyes off the road to get it, and veered off the highway at about 70 mph.

It seems that more recently, “distracted driving” has become an accurate term for the total problem. Among teenage drivers ages 16-19, cell phone use

and texting while driving usually receive the most blame for causing accidents, but in fact “interaction with others” in the car is a bigger factor. I don’t think it matters much.

Anything which detracts from our being 100 percent focused on driving that vehicle puts us at risk.

Adults allow themselves to be distracted, of course, but my focus today is on teen drivers.

A recent article by the

AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety shows the results of a study of some 6,842 videos from cameras mounted in vehicles. The videos show not only the driver, but a simultaneous view looking out of the windshield. Some 1,700 of those videos resulted in a crash.

Specifically, it establishes that teen drivers are distracted in a much greater percentage of crashes than previously realized. It had been estimated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that distraction of all kinds is a factor in only 14 percent of all teen driver crashes, but in fact this comprehensive AAA study indicates that distraction was a factor in 58 percent of moderate to severe crashes!

The study is unusual because researchers rare-

ly have access to crash videos that clearly show what drivers were doing in the seconds before impact as well as what was happening on the road. In one video released by AAA, a teenage boy is seen trying to navigate a turn on a rain-slicked road with one hand on the wheel and a cellphone held to his ear in the other hand. The car crosses a lane of traffic and runs off the road, stopping just short of railroad tracks that run parallel to the road.

In another video, a driver on a lonely two-lane road at night is shown looking down at an electronic device, apparently texting.

While his eyes are off the road, the car crosses the opposite lane, leaves the road and appears about to strike a mailbox.

The highest percentage of distracted driver accidents occurs as a result of interaction with other riders.

Think of the time you have followed two girls in a highly animated conversation as they drove. Or perhaps you have seen a couple in a heated argument driving down the road. Neither situation yields full attention to driving. In this study, a teen driver is captured braking hard to avoid slamming into the SUV ahead.

Just seconds earlier, the driver’s attention had been diverted by a very excited conversation with her passenger. The camera shows the shock on the girls’ faces as they suddenly realize a crash is imminent.

I’m convinced that teaching young drivers about distracted driving is purely a parental or, at minimum,

an influential adult function. Sorry, I just can’t get away from that. No matter how many times they roll their eyes, or say “Whatever!” or protest as only teenagers can do, they must listen to you on this one. The Driver Training Instructor will mention it in class, but these new drivers are your kids, or your grandkids, and you are responsible.

The iPhone must not be an element of driving. The BFF in the passenger seat may have to find another way if they are distracting your child. This is a time when you cannot be a Big Buddy Dad. This is a time when you must not waver.

Posthumous Brittany Maynard video supports aid-in-dying bill SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — In a video recorded 19 days before Brittany Maynard took life-ending drugs, she tells California lawmakers that no one should have to leave home to legally kill themselves under the care of a doctor.

“Unfortunately, California law prevented me from getting the end-oflife option I deserved,” she said in the recording released Wednesday, hours ahead of the first state Senate committee hearing on the issue.

Lawmakers gave initial approval, 5-2, after a moving debate before a packed Capitol room.

The 29-year-old San Francisco Bay Area woman had terminal brain cancer and moved with her family to Oregon before killing herself

last year. Her death drew widespread attention and recharged legislative efforts in California and elsewhere to make it legal for terminally ill patients to kill themselves with drugs.

“No one should have to leave their home and community for peace of mind, to escape suffering, and to plan for a gentle death,” Maynard said In the video.

The bill being considered in California is expected to face a strong challenge led by medical, disability and religious groups. Opponents see huge consequences for allowing doctors to prescribe fatal drugs and questioned the morality of the bill.

Opponents told lawmakers Wednesday that the bill would sanction physi-

hold it to an electrical contact on the starter while simultaneously touching the screwdriver blade to some sort of electrical module on the firewall. If I did it right, sparks would fly and the starter would crank. Quickly, I’d pull away the screwdriver and jump behind the wheel to give it more gas.

While I certainly don’t miss how often cars would break down in the old days (in the 14 years I owned my 2000 Chevy S10 the only expensive part I had to replace was the alternator), I do miss getting under the hood with my tools and fiddling around. I’d love to find something like a 1978 Aspen station wagon with a slant-225 to own as a beater car along with my Hyundai.

I can replace an alternator on an old Mopar in 15 minutes or less. It would take me longer than that to find the alternator on my Hyundai.

mets in all shapes and sizes and are open on most holidays. So we went to a hardware store and I picked out a little bag of grommets that closely matched the ones on my Valiant. Knowing they wouldn’t be a perfect fit, I also bought a bag of heavy-duty rubber bands that I could wrap around the grommets and the metal parts they were intended to connect.

Guess what? With a little patience and fussing around, my “generic-grommets-with-rubber-bandstrick” worked. The car started and shifted through all gears.

I figured this would work as a temporary fix. But after I found out how much the “real” grommets from the auto parts store cost, I decided to leave the hardware store grommets on the car and replace the rubber bands, which were not meant to be exposed to the elements, every couple of months. That worked just fine and I didn’t have to spend any more money on that problem.

The Grommet Caper was probably my most clever car fix. The second most clever fix, or more accurately, work around, was figuring out how to hot-wire my 1974 Chrysler New Yorker.

I did get some help over the phone from my late father, who knew 10 times more about cars in his sleep than I did while awake.

The ignition switch on the steering column went out, an expensive problem, but I couldn’t afford to take it to a shop until pay day.

I remember opening the hood and using a copper wire with alligator clips at each end to bypass some of the circuitry in the ignition.

The tricky part — because if not careful I could have gotten electrocuted — came next.

Wearing gloves, I would take a great big screwdriver with a rubber handle and

cian assisted suicide with no way to undo mistakes or abuses.

“Do not mistake temporary popularity with wisdom,” said Warren Fong, president of the Medical Oncology Association of Southern California and an oncologist.

Other terminally ill patients such as Kara Tippetts, a 38-year-old Colorado mother of four, wrote an open letter to Maynard in October urging her not to end her life.

Tippetts wrote that suffering can be “the place where true beauty can be known.” She died this month of breast cancer.

Advocates for aid-indying laws say legislators in at least 17 states have introduced similar measures this year. However, proposals in at least four

states have already stalled for the year and many have not yet received a hearing.

Past proposals have foundered in statehouses amid emotionally charged debates and strong opposition.

Some medical groups say prescribing life-ending medication violates a doctor’s oath to do no harm, while some advocates for people with disabilities fear some sick patients would feel pressured to end their lives to avoid being a financial burden.

In the video recorded by the right-to-die advocacy group Compassion & Choices before legislation was introduced in California, Maynard said she explored palliative care as an alternative to life-ending drugs but found that

option terrifying.

“I may be minimally conscious, still suffering and unable to move or speak,” she said.

Palliative care refers to specialized medical treatment to manage stress and pain from serious illnesses.

Maynard’s husband, Dan Diaz, choked back tears in introducing the video during a press conference. He said he respects those who disagree with him and his wife, but aid-in-dying should be an option for all Californians.

Maynard’s mother, Deborah Ziegler, testified at the hearing in support of SB128. She said watching her daughter suffer made her understand that some terminal illnesses can only be released by death.

“Being a good mother meant letting go when everything inside of me screamed, ‘Hold on,’” Ziegler said.

The practice is legal in five states, including Oregon, where Maynard moved before she took her life Nov. 1. The other states are Montana, New Mexico, Vermont and Washington.

German airline could face ‘unlimited’ damages for crash STOCKHOLM (AP) — Lufthansa could face “unlimited” compensation claims for the crash that killed 150 people in the French alps and it would be difficult, even counterproductive, for the German carrier to try to avoid liability, experts said Friday.

Under a treaty governing deaths and injuries aboard international flights, airlines are required to compensate relatives of victims for proven damages of up to a limit currently set at about $157,000 — regardless of what caused the crash.

But higher compensation is possible if a carrier is held liable.

“So more or less you will have unlimited financial damage,” said Marco Abate, a German aviation lawyer.

To avoid liability, a carrier has to prove that the crash wasn’t due to “negligence or other wrongful act” by its employees, according to Article 21 of the 1999 Montreal Convention.

That would be a difficult argument to make when a pilot intentionally crashes a plane into a mountain, and one that Lufthansa would likely avoid as it could further damage the brand, Abate said.

Investigators say the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 locked himself into the cockpit and slammed the Airbus A320 into the Alps. Germanwings is a subsidiary of Lufthan-

sa.

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr on Thursday said the airline would honor “international arrangements regulating liability.” The company is offering immediate aid of up to 50,000 euros ($54,800) per passenger to relatives of the victims. Those payments are separate from eventual compensation payments.

How much the airline ends up paying in compensation will depend on where claims are filed. The options in this case, a German flight en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, are many, said Dutch lawyer Sander de Lang.

“For example, French law because that is where it ... crashed, German law because in most cases the passengers had return tickets to and from Germany.

But some people may have bought tickets in Spain, then Spanish law could be appropriate,” he said.

In some countries including the Netherlands, there’s no compensation for emotional suffering, he said.

Damages are typically much lower in Europe than in the U.S., where in domestic air crashes, juries have awarded plaintiffs sometimes millions of dollars per passenger.

The families of the three American victims could sue the airline in U.S. courts.

Article 33 of the Montreal Convention states that a passenger’s “principal and

Blaze on New York’s Fire Island ruins gay resort landmarks MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — An early morning blaze on Fire Island destroyed several structures, including two well-known landmarks in a historic gay resort, and required dozens of firefighters to respond by ferry from the mainland of Long Island, fire and police officials said Friday.

The fire, which was reported at about 1:30 a.m., ruined an apartment complex known as Holly House, as well as the Grove Hotel, and left three firefighters with minor injuries, said Craig Williams, Cherry Grove assistant fire chief.

Palace avoided serious damage, Williams said.

Cherry Grove has been known since the late 1940s as a sanctuary where gay writers, actors and businesspeople from New York City and beyond escape to relax, hold hands and show affection in public.

“This is the largest fire we have had here in well over a decade,” said Williams, a volunteer who lives near Hackensack, New Jersey, and drove to Long Island early Friday to respond to the blaze.

Two private homes were destroyed and three others also were damaged, Williams said. None of the structures or homes near the downtown business district in the primarily summer beach community was occupied.

The nearby Cherry Grove Community House and Theater, which opened in 1948 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, was not damaged, Williams said.

More than 100 firefighters from 22 departments responded to the

blaze; some were taken by the Sayville Ferry Service across the Great South Bay to the scene on the barrier island about 60 miles east of Manhattan. It was not immediately clear whether the time to cross the bay to fight the fire contributed to the amount of damage inflicted by the blaze.

Williams and others noted that the historic Cherry Grove community, like many of the hamlets and villages along the 30-mile long barrier island 5 miles off the southern shore of Long Island, is primarily deserted this time of year.

Are the early primary states a big deal?

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Few states have shaped presidential politics like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

By hosting the nation’s first presidential primaries and caucuses, the states have heaped political and financial rewards for decades on successful candidates and hastened the end for underachievers. Yet their clout may be declining in 2016.

Campaign aides and veteran political operatives expect the Republicans’ next primary season to extend well beyond the first three states, thanks to an explosion of well-financed super PACs, a robust stable of candidates and changes in the election calendar that could make the 2016 GOP primary season one of the most competitive in history.

That drawn-out scenario is despite the wishes of the Republican National Committee, which recently changed rules with the aim of giving the eventual nominee a quicker and easier path to the general election.

While there is little competition expected on the Democratic side, the Republican primary is “shaping up to be the ultimate political marathon,” said Phil Musser, a GOP consultant and veteran of presidential politics.

He suggested candidates might not get the “slingshot effect” from early state victories that they once might have.

Ronald Weiser, former finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, agrees. “The early states are still important, but they’re not critical anymore,” he said. “You’re not gone if you don’t do well in those first couple primaries.”

By nature of being first, however, Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina will continue to consume much of the political world’s attention over the coming 11 months. Those states, along with Nevada, are the only Republican primary contests allowed next February, according to party rules that outline strict penalties for states that try to jump ahead.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker spent much of this month trekking through all three states,

as did other candidates who are aggressively hiring state-based political operatives.

Bush told South Carolina Republicans their state is critical because it holds “the first big primary,” a nod to a projected turnout that dwarfs participation in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. Visiting New Hampshire recently, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul predicted the primary season could “go on for quite a while,” but highlighted the momentum that the early states offer.

Yet those contenders and others are laying the groundwork to continue competing even if they stumble early.

While he faces hurdles in the early states, Bush is amassing considerable resources to go well beyond the early states — both through traditional fundraising and his allied super PAC. Walker’s travel schedule includes states voting later in primaries, his aides note. Paul has been organizing a political team both inside and outside the early voting states for several months.

And even before they announce campaigns, many candidates already enjoy the backing of super PACs that can raise campaign cash with no limits.

At least 10 contenders are now backed by super PACs, or related organizations, that offer a financial safety net to help replace the fundraising boost traditionally earned from strong finishes in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was the latest to join the super PAC club when an ally announced plans to run the organization recently.

Presidential super PACs did not exist at this point in the 2012 campaign. Once established, they showcased the ability of a few wealthy donors to sustain underdog candidates such as former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Conservative donor Foster Friess, who almost singlehandedly bankrolled Santorum’s super PAC in 2012, predicted an extended campaign this time because of the quality of the candidates.

Iraqi Sunni tribe wages costly battle against IS group DULUIYAH, Iraq (AP) — The consequences of the al-Jabouri tribe’s decision to ally with Iraq’s Shiite-led government against their fellow Sunnis in the Islamic State group are etched on row after row of gravestones in this palm-shaded town by the Tigris River.

As Khamis Daari paces the cemetery he points out the final resting place of his son Ali, killed in December alongside scores of others who battled the IS group. A few plots over lies Yazen al-Abeelah, a playful three-year-old killed when a rocket hit his home.

Mahmoud Salama, 80, is said to have battled bravely alongside fighters half his age, only to die in an explosion.

Unclaimed plots may soon be filled. Daari’s other son Omar is preparing to join Sunni tribesmen fighting alongside Iraqi troops and Shiite militiamen in the country’s Sunni heartland. “If he doesn’t fight then he has no future,” Daari said, his face creased in distress and his eyes welling up with tears. “These terrorists are destroying Iraq.”

Sunni tribes played a key role in driving out al-Qaida in Iraq — a precursor to the IS group — and are widely seen as the only force capable of securing the country’s northwest Sunni heartland.

But the few Sunni tribes that have stood up to the IS group have paid a heavy price, and

anger at the Shiite-led government runs deep in the areas of northern and western Iraq that now make up the extremist group’s self-styled caliphate.

When IS fighters reached Duluiyah in June, some 45 miles north of Baghdad, they gave the al-Jabouri an ultimatum: join us or die.

Many of Iraq’s Sunnis have chosen the former, however reluctantly, but the al-Jabouri elected to fight. They had learned their lesson years earlier, when al-Qaida in Iraq recruited some of the tribesmen to fight the government and the Americans only to turn on the tribe after suffering losses on the battlefield, killing more than 300 al-Jabouris.

“We suffered a lot from al-Qaida,” said Sheikh Eissa al-Dahour, an al-Jabouri tribesman. “We have no tolerance for this organization.”

This time around, the al-Jabouris allied with Iraqi troops and Shiite militiamen against the IS group and drove out the extremists in December. Some 200 al-Jabouris are now taking part in a major offensive in the nearby city of Tikrit, and the government has held them up as an example for other Sunni tribes, hoping to create a non-sectarian national guard.

Emma Stone and Liam Billie Joe Armstrong musical comes to Atlantic Theater Co. Hemsworth among Kids’ Choice Awards winners LOS ANGELES (AP) — Emma Stone is a Kids’ Choice Award winner who largely escaped the show’s trademark green slime.

Stone was honored as favorite movie actress for her role in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” at Saturday’s ceremony. Stone gamely put her hands in a spray of the show’s trademark slime, but otherwise remained goo-free.

Nick Jonas hosted the ceremony, which also honored Liam Hemsworth of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” as favorite male action star.

NEW YORK (AP) — Green Day front man and “American Idiot” co-creator Billie Joe Armstrong’s new musical, the final installment of Dominique Morisseau’s Detroit trilogy and the world premiere of a David Yazbek musical, will be the highlights as the Atlantic Theater Company celebrates its 30th

anniversary season.

Armstrong’s “These Paper Bullets!” — “a modish ripoff” of “Much Ado About Nothing” about a Liverpool rock band finding its way in the ’60s London music scene — arrives in November, adapted by Pulitzer Prize- and Emmy Award-nominated writer Rolin Jones. It was first

done by the Yale Repertory Theatre.

Morisseau’s “Skeleton Crew” starts performances in January, exploring how auto plant workers navigate the possibility of foreclosure. James Macdonald will direct a revival of Caryl Churchill’s “Cloud Nine,” and Adam Rapp writes and directs “The Purple Lights

of Joppa Illinois” next spring.

Yazbek’s “The Band’s Visit” also will arrive next spring directed by Harold Prince with a story by Itamar Moses. It’s based on a 2007 film about an Egyptian orchestra that accidentally finds itself in the wrong town.

NMMI downs Texico for Colt Classic championship

There may have been an error or three, along with some running mistakes, but all that was in the rear-view mirror Saturday evening as NMMI won its own Sertoma Colt Baseball Classic with a 7-2 victory over defending champion Texico.

It was the sixth-straight win for the 7-2 Colts, and the second tournament championship in a row.

“This is the first time in the 17, 18 years I’ve been here that we’ve won two tournaments in a row,” said Colts’ coach Charlie Ward. “We’re excited to be 7-2. We were realistic and thought we’d be 5-5, but the team came through, making plays.”

The victory wasn’t as lopsided as when the Insti-

tute topped the Wolverines in the opening round of the Hal Bogle Tournament, but it was still decisive, with Michael Hinojos and Mateo Fierro — who pitched two days in a row — again combining for the tourney title.

Hinojos went six full innings, and was in trouble in every one, but good fielding behind the sophomore left 12 Texico runners on base, with only one runner coming home in the fifth. Fierro gave up the second run in the top of the seventh, but the Wolverines left one more runner on base as Fierro struck out the final batter for the victory.

Offensively, the Colts left two runners on base in the first, but drew blood in the second when Jake Guerrero reached on an error, advanced to third on a sac bunt by Teryn Sur-

ratt then came home on a single by Jake Tingwall.

Tingwall came around on a wild pitch by Texico starter Tanner Dickerman, a pair of errors that saw Peter DeGroot and Francisco Galvez reach base. Galvez was caught off base for the second out, but DeGroot stole second and came home on a single by Danny Jaramillo.

The Colts added another three runs in the third, getting hits from Gavin Maloney, Hinojos, Guerrero and Tingwall. NMMI drove Dickerson from the mound after two runs had scored, and reliever Nathan Phipps did a better job with the Colt hitters, allowing only one final run to score in the third and one final run in the fifth, when Guerrero reached on a fielder’s choice and courtesy runner Frank Marche scored on an error.

Tingwall was a perfect 2-for-2 on the night, with one run scored and 2 RBIs. Hinojos not only got the win, but was 2-for-3 with a double, while Jaramillo and Gavin Maloney were each 2-for-4 with one run scored. Maloney scored a run and Jaramillo had an RBI. DeGroot and Guerrero were named to the all-tournament team, with Hinojos receiving the MVP trophy.

The victory wraps up the high school pre-season, with the Colts getting a week off for spring

break before diving right into district with a home DH vs. Portales. And while the move into Class 4A will be tough, Ward agrees the tournament wins will give his mostly young squad confidence.

“It will,” he said. “And I’m very proud of them.

It’s all about the team.

I care about the team. I care about what we do as a team. The little things.

We always talk about the little things. We’ve still got to get better, but I want them to celebrate, enjoy their family. It’s all about their family. So much family support for these kids.”

Ward extended thanks to everyone who helped run the successful tournament, from the coaches to the NMMI staff to the area businesses that supplied food and drink to the families. The Sertoma Club surprised Ward with a plaque honoring his many years of putting on the tournament, and he gave them credit right back.

“I appreciate Sertoma, and I told them I’m just one part of the puzzle. We can’t do it without Sertoma. Those men are great.

They put in a lot of time, and it’s all volunteer work and they do it for the community so I thank Sertoma. I’ve enjoyed these last 17, 18 years with them.

They’re great guys. I love talking baseball with them.

I appreciate Sertoma for everything they’ve done for us.”

the Lady Coyotes initially against Portales. After retiring the lead-off hitter to start the game, Olivas walked the second batter she faced before giving up a 2-run home run to Portales’ No. 3 hitter. The blast put Roswell in an early 2-0 hole, but it didn’t rattle Olivas in the slightest.

Roswell would then be retired in order in their half of the inning to put the bats right back in Portales’ hands, but Olivas came out and struck out the side in the second, and

wouldn’t allow another run to cross for the rest of the game.

“This team could have let down. She [Olivas] could have let down,” Sandoval said. “But she didn’t. She kept fighting. She showed a lot of heart, and a lot of fight, and I’ll tell you what – there’s a lot of kids, especially high school kids, that when someone hits a home run, they fall apart.

Not this kid.

“The team got behind her and she believed in her teammates. And I asked her about that at the end

of the game. She said she believed in her teammates and she knew that whatever happened they were going to get it done.

I thought that was pretty classy, and effective and I concur with her.”

The Lady Coyotes would indeed back up their pitcher and tie the game at 2 in the fourth innining.

Then, Roswell went back to work at the plate in the sixth inning. With Adrianna Horton standing on first base with two outs, Portales elected to intentionally walk Cain, who was also

named to the all-tournament squad, putting runners on first and second with two outs with Alexis Acevedo coming to bat.

Roswell coach Art Sandoval called time so he could specifically talk to his hitter. Sandoval said he told Acevedo fairly bluntly that Portales walking Cain was a slight to her, a sign that they assumed they could retire her to get out of the inning.

But Acevedo wasn’t bothered by the move,

Olivas, Lady Coyotes close out Kristen Griego with pair of wins

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor

Roswell’s varsity softball team closed out its appearence at the 2015 Kristen Griego softball tournament in style Saturday, topping top-ranked Class 4A Portales in the morning before defeating Churchill later in the afternoon. The Lady Coyotes finished 4-1 at the tournament this weekend.

Sheyanne Sandoval was 2-for-4 at the plate against Portales, which included an RBI double. Adrianna

Horton was also 2-for-4, and scored a pair of runs.

Senior Vanessa Garcia was 2-for-4, and Isabella Cain, another senior, was 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored.

Lady Coyote pitcher Mykaya Olivas got the start again for Roswell and struck out eight as she turned in yet another complete game. Olivas, who was named to the all-tournament team, gave up only four hits and a pair of walks in the first game.

But things didn’t start so well for Olivas and

Dexter records historic No. 1 Kentucky holds off Notre walk-off victory, wins Dame, advances to Final Four own tourney for 1st time

By Paul Lessard Record Correspondent

DEXTER – The Dexter Lady Demon softball team downed Loving 3-2 in 8 innings Saturday night to claim the championship of their own Lindsey Callaway tournament. In the process, the Demons claimed their first-ever victory over their neighbors to the south who have won 18 of the last 20 state championships – including last year.

Coach Kim Hamill was very pleased with her team’s effort and found it hard not to downplay the important win.

“It is a big win, but it’s just a stepping stone,”

Hamill said. “I told them to celebrate it tonight and then on Monday we’re going to get back to work. We made five errors tonight, left some on base and I’m not satisfied. Yes, it’s a big win – a confidence booster.”

The Demons won their own tourney for the first time ever as they used some late game heroics from an unlikely source. Ariana Chavez hit a one-out walkoff single to score Kali Crandall to give the Demons the win. Chavez was 0-for-2 at the time but came up big with the winning run at third. Crandall had started the inning at second base (softball rules place a cour-

tesy runner at 2nd to start extra innings), advance to third on a put out by Sandra Madrid and then happily sprinted home following the blast to right center.

“Nana (Chavez) worked hard all summer – broke her swing down and built it back up for moments like that,” explained Hamill of Chavez’s big hit. “She’s put in thousands of hours and I’m proud of her. I kept telling her all I need is a base hit out of you and she did her job.”

The exciting, tense game was a pitcher’s duel through the first four See DEXTER, Page B3

CLEVELAND (AP) — Pushed to the brink, Kentucky’s still perfect and still playing.

Andrew Harrison made two free throws with six seconds remaining, and the top-seeded Wildcats kept their unbeaten season and national title hopes intact with a 68-66 win over Notre Dame on Saturday night in the Midwest Regional final.

The Wildcats (38-0) advanced to the Final Four in Indianapolis next week, where they will meet Wisconsin.

It took everything Kentucky had to hold off the Fighting Irish (32-6), who came within seconds of shocking the tournament’s overwhelming favorite.

Kentucky’s bench stormed the floor and the Wildcats celebrated knowing they had ducked a major challenge.

Lady Rockets split final two games against Clovis, Bloomfield at Kristen Griego tourney

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor Goddard’s varsity softball team knocked off another Class 6A team in Clovis Saturday morning before falling in the afternoon consolation championship against Bloomfield at the Kristen Griego Memorial softball tournament.

Danielle Hubbard got the start and the win for the Lady Rockets against Clovis. Hubbard struck out 10, while scattering

five hits, which included a double and a home run.

Hubbard was also 2-for-4 at the plate in the game, including a double.

Mileena Sanchez led the way offensively for Goddard, finishing 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run.

Emilee Glenn was 1-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI for the Lady Rockets, who finished with nine hits in the 9-8 victory.

“It was good to beat Clovis, another 6A team,” said Goddard coach Jay

Edgett. “Anytime you can beat a team a class higher than you, it makes it a little bit better.”

The Lady Rockets didn’t fare quite as well in the consolation championship game against Bloomfield, as Goddard fell by a score of 7-2.

“Bloomfield’s a very good hitting team,” Edgett said. “We didn’t really have as many hits as I’d hoped. And when we were making contact, we were hitting it right to them.

They made some really

good plays.”

The Lady Rockets finished 3-2 overall during the tournament, and Edgett said he was pleased with how his team played for the most part.

“We had a good weekend, played a lot of good teams. We’ll get ready for the Artesia tournament coming up next weekend.”

Goddard will indeed be back in action Friday against Silver City at 4 p.m. in Artesia.

“I think the weather helped, because it’s been kind of cold. They’ve been struggling all week, but they came to play today.”

Hobbs finished in second place with 356, and Clovis came in third with a total

score of 369.

Goddard’s Sara Cain, a junior, finished with the second-best individual score of the day as she fired an 81 Friday.

Right behind Cain, in third place, was the Rockets’ Clair Wilden with an 82, while Roswell’s Haley Bolanos finished in fifth

place overall.

Haley Cain and Jaden Smith shot 91 and 92 respectively for Goddard.

The entire Rockets team qualified for a leg of the state tournament, which will be held at the Nancy Lopez Spring River Golf Course in Roswell this year.

Tough weekend for Gateway capped by 17-1 defeat

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent

The Roswell Sertoma Colt Baseball Classic was a tough tournament for Gateway Christian, as the Warriors were swept by the mercy rule in every game they played, falling to Capitan 17-1 in the final game Saturday morning.

The Warriors did seem to improve some in their second game — at least offensively — scoring six runs in a 21-6 loss to Hatch Valley, but defensively, Gateway made 25 errors across the three games, with not much changing in Saturday’s match.

Things seemed to be going a bit better early in Saturday’s game, as Gateway gave up only two runs in the top of the first, with no errors in the frame. The Warriors then had a chance to score in the bottom of the inning, when with one out, Scooby Taylor walked, stole second and advanced to third on a passed ball. But he was eventually stranded when the next two batters struck out and grounded out.

The Tigers had a big inning in the second, scoring six runs off starter Justin Reynolds, then added

Gateway pitcher Justin Reynolds got the start for the Warriors in the seventh place game of the Colt Classic Saturday morning at NMMI Field. five more in the third, three in the fourth and one in the fifth off Reynolds and relievers Taylor and Jayden Ste-

phens.

The only Gateway run came in the fourth, and was the source of a bit of con-

troversy. Chris Bonham reached base on a Capitan error and advanced on singles by Justin Reynolds and Cort Marley, which loaded the bases.

After a strike out, Bonham came home on a wild pitch, but came in standing up. After touching the plate for the run, he barreled into Rogers, who was backing up the play at the plate.

Rogers went flying, and came down hard, breaking his arm. While the run counted, Bonham was ejected and despite loading the bases on a walk from reliever Brenden Usrey, a double play ended the inning.

It was not the first trip to the hospital for the injury-laden Tigers in the game.

Batting in the first inning, left fielder George Berryhill fouled a ball into his face, resulting in a deep cut over his eye and a trip to the emergency room.

Capitan had 12 hits in the game and took advantage of eight Warrior errors.

Gateway had two hits, one each by Reynolds and Marley.

The 2-6 Warriors now have time to regroup over spring break before a home rematch with the Tigers April 10.

innings as Crandall and Autumn McDonald matched each other pitch for pitch in the scoreless contest. The two freshman showed considerable poise in front of a packed house.

The Demons finally broke through in the bottom of the fifth. With two outs, Bryana Munoz stole home to make it 1-0 and send the home town fans into a fren-

zy. Munoz had reached on a single earlier before stealing second and reaching third on an error.

“The girls started to believe in themselves (following the Munoz run),” said Hamill. “They were scared out of their minds out there and Kali did a great job, but sometimes it takes just one play to break the game open.”

Crandall, who was named the tourney’s MVP, got an RBI single to score Yanelly Ronquillo, who had followed Munoz’s steal with a single. Ronquillo would finish 1-for-2 on the night and Crandall would finish 3-for-4.

The 2-0 lead would not last as the wheels came off for the Demons in the following inning. The Falcons

would tie it at 2-all with the benefit of three Demon errors. The Falcons would score their two runs with two outs, which chased Crandall from the mound.

Munoz would relieve her and the move worked as she would get the final strike out to end the inning and Loving would not get another hit in the game.

Dexter managed two get

runners on with hits in both the sixth and seventh innings, but stranded them both sending the game into extra innings.

Loving would strand their courtesy runner at third after Crandall caught a pop up at shortstop to send the game into the final frame and set up Chavez’ heroics.

One can imagine Lindsey Callaway, the late for-

mer Dexter student whose name is on the tourney trophy, looking down from heaven and exhaling with a “Yes!” as Chavez’s hit gave the Demons the tourney trophy for the first time in 12 tries, and, more importantly, sending a message to the rest of the state that the Dexter Lady Demons are definitely one of the top teams in the state this year.

and proceeded to smack a 2-RBI triple to score both Horton and Cain and give Roswell the lead.

Sandoval would hit an RBI double off the outfield fence in the seventh inning to score Garcia, making the score 5-2 Roswell, which ended up being the final tally in the Lady Coyotes’ morning contest.

“Very well played,” coach Sandoval said. “Our kids showed a lot of heart in that first game. We finished a game, and that’s what we wanted to do.

Very good game for us.”

In the afternoon game against Churchill, Olivas again got the start, and again threw all seven innings in the 7-4 victory.

In fact, Olivas pitched all 35 innings for Roswell throughout the entire weekend. Against Churchill, Olivas scattered nine

hits and struck out seven with no walks. She even helped her own cause with a solo home run at the plate.

Kianna Reese also homered for the Lady Coyotes in the second game, finishing 2-for-4 at the plate.

Horton and Cain also contributed as each finished 3-for-5. Mykaela Olivas was 2-for-5 with an RBI, while Sandoval was 2-for-5 with a run scored. Priscilla Lucero was 2-for-4.

“I think it was just a very, very good tournament for us,” coach Sandoval said. “We played quality teams. Very excited for this year. I’m not satisfied yet because we still have a lot of work to do, but it’s a great start and we want to continue being positive and proactive and see what we can do to continually get better.”

Wisconsin heads to Final Four with win over Arizona LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just call him Sam Dagger.

Sam Dekker hit 5 of Wisconsin’s 10 3-pointers in the second half on his way to a second straight career high of 27 points, Frank Kaminsky added 29 points and the top-seeded Badgers beat No. 2 Arizona 85-78 on Saturday to reach consecutive Final Fours for the first time in school history.

The Wildcats twice got within five points in the last 2½ minutes, but both times Dekker connected on arcing 3-pointers, narrowly beating the shot clock on the first one.

“Sam Dekker pretty much just crushed our dreams with that shot,” Arizona guard T.J. McConnell said.

Dekker confirmed the Badgers are more than just “Frank the Tank.”

The junior followed up his career-high 23 points and 10 rebounds in a semifinal win over North Carolina with timely shooting that bailed out the Badgers.

“Incredible game,” tweeted Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers from his seat behind the Badgers’ bench, calling Dekker “cold blooded.”

Wisconsin (35-3) denied the Wildcats (34-4) a Final Four berth for the second straight year, having beaten them by one point in overtime in Anaheim a year ago when their seeds were reversed.

“That loss left a sour taste in our mouth, so we wanted to get back,” Dekker said of last season’s 1-point loss to Kentucky in the national semifinals. “As a team we set some goals of what we wanted to do, and now we’re two games away from our last goal.”

The Badgers and 67-year-old coach Bo Ryan head to Indianapolis next week hoping for another shot at undefeated and top-seeded Kentucky.

“I’m so proud of these guys to be able to say that they’ve answered the bell in the second half in almost every game we’ve played here in the last seven to 10 games,” Ryan said. “They’re a tough bunch, and I hope they don’t change.”

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Brandon Ashley scored 17 points each for the Wildcats, who once again failed to deliver a first-time Final Four appearance for coach Sean Miller. McConnell added 14 points in his college finale and Kaleb Tarczewski and Gabe York had 11 each.

“It was tough to be playing hard on defense and trying to get a stop to win the game and he made those shots,” Hollis-Jefferson said of Dekker. “It was tough to watch them go in, but in basketball you have those days.”

Miller compared the Badgers’ offensive execution and ability to make shots to a video game.

“Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky, they’re really good,” Miller said. “No team has done what they did to us in the second half. They made shots, and if they play like that next weekend, they have a chance to win it all.”

The Badgers hit 10 of 12 3-point attempts in the second half — connecting on a season-high 67 percent overall — and outscored the Wildcats 30-3 from long range. Dekker had five 3-pointers and was named most outstanding player of the West Regional.

“This tournament, he’s really shown his full arsenal offensively and defensively,” teammate Josh Gasser said. “When he’s confident like that making plays, being aggressive, this is the stuff that happens.”

Arizona closed within two points early in the second half only to watch Dekker casually fling up a rainbow 3. The Wildcats got within one a minute later and Dekker let loose with another high-arcing 3, sending Badger fans into delirium.

“Eventually when that ball gets out, everybody on the court can shoot it, and they get you with an open

passed trying to safely get the ball down court. A long inbounds pass by Wisconsin was nearly intercepted before Gasser grabbed it, got fouled and made both free throws to keep the Badgers ahead by 10 points.

“Emptied the bucket, and it was a big one,” Miller said of his defensive schemes. “We’ve tried everything.”

Just like a year ago, Kaminsky was a big key.

He sidestepped and slithered, pivoted and deked in eluding the Wildcats’ lockdown defense. Arizona tossed its biggest bodies on the 7-footer and he still found ways to score inside

Arizona pressured full court in the last 4 minutes, making for some perilous possessions by the Badgers as they darted and

Texas fires coach Barnes after 17 years

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes will be released after yet another quick exit from the postseason, people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The decision came after Texas athletic director Steve Patterson and Barnes met Saturday, according to the people who requested anonymity because the school wasn’t expected to make a formal announcement before Sunday.

The 60-year-old Barnes shaped Texas into a national basketball power with three Big 12 championships and 16 NCAA Tournament appearances in 17 years. He had four years left on his contract at $2.65 million per year and will receive a severance of $1.75 million under his contract because he is being released before April 1.

Barnes didn’t immediately respond to text and telephone messages seeking comment.

Barnes built a program with NBA-level talent that reached the Final Four in 2003 and produced two national players of the year in T.J. Ford (2003) and Kevin Durant (2007).

Barnes also led Texas within one game of the Final Four in 2005 and 2008.

But while the program continued to win, and even reached its first No. 1 ranking in the 2009-2010 season, the Longhorns have struggled in the postseason in recent years despite rosters full of future NBA players.

Texas hasn’t advanced past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2008. The latest defeat was this season’s opening-round loss to Butler. Texas had much higher

consin ahead 44-36.

“I’m just so happy right now,” Kaminsky said.

Hollis-Jefferson and Tarczewski picked up their third fouls and Stanley Johnson left the game to have his contact lens adjusted, all in quick suc-

cession. It didn’t faze the Wildcats, who went on a 10-3 run to close to 47-46.

Dekker hit Wisconsin’s fifth 3-pointer of the second half, launching a 10-2 spurt that gave the Badgers a 57-48 lead. Nigel Hayes added a 3 and Kaminsky scored on a reverse layup before getting called for his third foul.

Barnes’ 17-year tenure was the longest in the Big 12. He’s 604-314 in 28 seasons overall and won 402 games at Texas.

Texas was mostly a basketball afterthought when it hired Barnes from Clemson in 1997. He dumped Tom Penders’ free-wheeling offense with a tough, defense-first mentality that immediately produced Texas’ first Big 12 regular-season title in 1999.

But while Barnes brought a new game plan to the court, it was his ability to land some of the biggest recruits in the country that paid the biggest dividends. Barnes recruited a litany of top talent to a “football school,” none bigger than Ford and Durant.

The zenith was the 2003 Final Four where the Longhorns lost to eventual national champion Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony.

The program was still humming when Durant won national player of the year honors as a freshman in 2007. Even after he left, Texas won a share of its third Big 12 title under Barnes and was regularly among the top programs in the country. By midway through the 2009-2010 season, a 17-0 start earned the Longhorns the program’s first No. 1 ranking.

But that season ended in disappointment as the Longhorns limped to a 24-10 finish and a firstround loss in the NCAA Tournament. That started a period of stagnation for a program that had become used to success, and while Barnes’ teams were good, many saw them as failing to live up to high expectations.

Barnes’ only losing season came in 2012-2013, but he turned that around with a surprising 24-11 finish the next season. That rebound, and the return of every starter with highly-touted recruit Myles Turner, landed Texas in the

Top 10 to start this season.

Texas reached as high as No. 6 before Christmas, but had a much rougher time in once Big 12 play began, finishing 8-10 in the conference.

Barnes and Patterson met three times this week about the job and the future of the program.

By firing Barnes, Patterson now must make another high-profile hire barely more than a year on the job. Texas pushed out football coach Mack Brown in December 2014, barely a month after Patterson was hired to replace longtime athletic director DeLoss Dodds.

Patterson will have an attractive program to sell.

Texas is the wealthiest athletic program in the country and will soon build a new basketball arena to replace the nearly 40-year-old Frank Erwin Center. And any new coach will land in the middle of a state rich in high school basketball talent.

UCLA’s Isaac Hamilton shoots against Gary Bell Jr. (5) during the first half of a college basketball regional semifinal game in the NCAA Tournament Friday in Houston.

HOUSTON (AP) — The South Regional of the NCAA Tournament is the only one being played in a football stadium.

Is that the reason for su ch p oor sh ootin g in Houston?

The games are being played in NRG Stadium, which is home to the Houston Texans, and the setup, with no walls or bleachers directly behind either basket, challenges players’ depth perception. There are black curtains behind each goal, but they are far from the baskets.

“It’s tough being out there on a court where there’s so much room behind the basket,” said Utah’s Brekkott Chapman, whose team shot just 35 percent in a loss to Duke on Friday night. “But it’s something that you got to adjust to quickly if you want to succeed in this.”

The other regionals are being played at Staples Center, home to the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cleveland Cav-

aliers play and the Carrier Dome, home to Syracuse University basketball and football games. Even though some football games are played at the Carrier Dome, the setup for the tournament is that of a traditional basketball arena.

“It’s an interesting environment,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “It’s not a basketball arena. It’s the only regional that’s played in a venue like this. Everybody else is a normal-sized arena. It’s not (just) our issue. It’s Duke’s issue as well as everybody else. It had a lot more to do with our mindset and turnovers.

That probably sealed our fate more than anything.”

Duke’s Matt Jones, who was 1 for 4 from the field and missed both of his 3-point attempts on Friday, said the setup kind of made him feel like he was on an island.

“You can definitely feel alone up there,” he said.

“I’ve never been in a stadium like this and for me, personally, it’s different.”

Seahawks QB Wilson works out with Texas Rangers

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson spent Saturday at spring training with the Texas Rangers, hitting a home run in batting practice and drawing on his recent Super Bowl experience to deliver a message to the team.

A former minor league infielder for Colorado, Wilson was later acquired by the Rangers and practiced with them last year.

“I think I’m better in baseball than football,” Wilson said, breaking into a laugh.

Wilson took out the lineup card before Texas played San Diego, but wasn’t going to get into the game.

The last time he played in the Phoenix area, Wilson threw an interception at the goal line in the final seconds against New England, costing Seattle a chance to win its second straight Super Bowl.

Part of his message to the Texas players, he said, focused on: “How do you get back to that opportunity to where you are there again?”

“It comes back to fundamentals, but it also comes back to that team bonding.

It comes back to ‘I have your back’ type of mentality at all costs,” he said.

“We were walking to the field and Prince Fielder asked me what’s it like, winning the Super Bowl.

It’s a great feeling just to be get to that moment. You can actually get there and say I’ve done it before.”

Wilson said Fielder asked “another question about what’s it like, trying to get

back to it. It’s the same feeling, whatever it takes.”

“Obviously we had an opportunity to win the game, but it didn’t happen the way we wanted to, but we believe we’ll be in that situation again,” he said.

Wilson won the Super Bowl as a rookie, beating Denver, before the 28-24 loss to the Patriots on Feb. 1 in Glendale, Arizona.

Wilson hit .229 with five home runs in 93 games during the 2010-11 seasons in the Rockies’ system before starring in the NFL. He struck out 118 times in 315 at-bats in the low

minors.

“I think there probably will always be an itch” to play baseball, Wilson said.

“It was my first sport as a kid. It comes so natural to me.”

The 26-year-old Wilson was with the Rangers a couple of weeks after Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony

Romo visited them.

“Do the Rangers have a quarterback controversy?”

Wilson kidded. “No. I think the Rangers’ fans are probably most likely loyal to Tony, a great quarterback.”

Wilson said it was “an honor” to get a chance to work out with the Rangers.

“It’s truly humbling just to be able to play with

these guys, the big leaguers and take grounders with them, guys like Prince Fielder, (Adrian) Beltre and (Elvis) Andrus.”

Wilson fielded groundballs at second base and hit several weak grounders and popups before going deep on a back field with several Seahawks fans watching and applauding

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jimmy Walker opened a four-stroke lead over fellow Texan Jordan Spieth, shooting a 3-under 69 on Saturday in his hometown Texas Open.

Walker, who lives 35 minutes away from TPC San Antonio, is looking for his fifth title in two tour seasons. He had a 9-under 207 total after opening with rounds of 71 and 67.

“It’s a tough golf course,” said Walker, the winner of the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. “I thought coming into today that even par or maybe 1 under would be a good score. You definitely want to find a way to extend the lead, but you have to be smart about it.”

Spieth shot a 71. The 21-year-old Dallas player, coming off a playoff victory two weeks ago at Innisbrook, had a dou-

ble bogey, two bogeys and two birdies on the final six holes.

“It’s not ideal — I really look for more consistency,” Spieth said.

FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel birdied the final three holes for a 69 to get to 3 under.

“I wanted to give myself some opportunities coming in,” Horschel said. “It was a nice one to get at 16 — it was blowing downwind and that green has been pretty firm all week.

And they had the tees moved up at 17 and 18, just straight downwind today.”

Five players were seven back of Walker at 2 under.

Zach Johnson birdied the last two holes for a 72, Chesson Hadley had a 71, tour rookie Scott Pinckney shot 69, 2011 champion Brendan Steele had a 72, and Jason Kokrak finished with a 71.

mae going into the final leg, but could not keep pace when Prince Bishop made his move.

“It seemed like the other horses were bumping me around in there on the first turn and then on the far turn,” Espinoza said. “He kind of lost his stride a little bit on the (home) turn because the horse on the inside (Hokko Tarumae) pushed me out. That kind of took some of the air out of his lungs.”

Lea finished third for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott, who won the first World Cup with Cigar in 1996.

Earlier, Christophe Soumillon rode Dolniya to victory in the $6 million Dubai Sheema Classic, having earlier won the $2 million UAE Derby atop Mubtaahij, the 4-year-old Irish-bred colt.

Mubtaahji, trained by a South African and ridden by a Frenchman, is likely headed next to the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 2, trainer Mike de Kock said.

his every move.

“I lasered one out to left-center field, so that was good,” he said. “I stayed back and drove one to left-center. It feels good hitting a home run. It’s something special about throwing a touchdown. It’s so hard to get touchdowns, but hitting a home run is a good feeling, too.”

Wilson took 10 to 15 swings, prompting Fielder to give a shout.

“How many swings are we going to give this guy?”

Fielder hollered.

Wilson deferred when asked about a contract extension with the Seahawks.

“In terms of my contract, I don’t talk about that stuff,” he said.

After taking out the lineup card, Wilson stayed in uniform in the dugout.

“Maybe next year I’ll play nine,” he said.

Phil Mickelson was even par after a 74. He had a near double-eagle on the 14th hole.

Tied making the turn, Walker broke away from Spieth with a two-shot swing on the par-5 14th and extended when Spieth hit his tee shot at the

par-3 16th into more trouble well right of the grandstand.

Both players have long-established roots in Texas. Spieth played on the Texas Longhorns’ national champion team in 2011, and Walker was an All-American at Baylor.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Prince Bishop pulled away from favorite California Chrome on the home straight and won the $10 million Dubai World Cup by 2 ¾ lengths at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday.

Starting from the inside post, jockey William Buick rode Prince Bishop to his first victory on dirt. It was the fourth attempt for the 8-year-old horse in the world’s richest race.

Buick said it would take some time to gather his thoughts after winning the world’s richest horse race.

“I can’t express what I am feeling right now,” he said. “It’s very surreal. We were detached last, but ended up traveling very well in the last turn.

“I didn’t look back, but I imagine we won well because I could hear the commentator. I feel a bit numb at the moment, but I’m sure when I get home and relax it will sink in.”

match at Miami Open

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — Serena Williams punctuated points Saturday with theatrics worthy of a Grand Slam final. There were squeals, knee kicks, pirouettes and fist pumps, sometimes all at once.

In other words, Williams appeared to be 100 percent.

Showing no lingering effects from a recent knee injury, the seven-time Key Biscayne champion won her opening match at the Miami Open on Saturday, beating Monica Niculescu 6-3, 6-1.

The match was the first for Williams since she withdrew before the semifinals at Indian Wells last week, citing a right knee problem.

She played without a wrap on her knee and said it’s feeling much better.

“It was a little sore in practice, but it was OK today,” she said.

Despite the lopsided score, the match was not without tension. Williams

also beat Niculescu two weeks ago but nonetheless struggled at the start with the Romanian’s unorthodox game, which includes a squash-style slice forehand that creates lots of spin.

When flummoxed, Williams didn’t try to hide her emotions.

“I’m clearly frustrated,” she told the crowd afterward. “I just try not to explode, which is hard because I’m really passionate.”

The top-seeded Williams began to dominate when she started moving toward the net, and she won nine of the final 10 games. She’ll face 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis in the third round Sunday.

Serena’s sister Venus also advanced, beating Samantha Stosur 6-4, 7-6 (3). The older Williams’ opponent in the fourth round will be No. 4 Caroline Wozniacki, who rallied to beat Kaia Kanepi 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Preceding Tom in death and there to welcome him home is their son Steve, Tom’s parents, and five siblings.

Tom married his childhood buddy in 1950 and they began a 65-year adventure together. Tom was a happy family man, loving husband and great dad. Tom took an active part in their children’s lives in Cub and Boy Scouts troops, Little League baseball, football, band, swimming, and gymnastics. Providing for his family was of the utmost importance to him.

Tom was born on the family farm in Pearisburg, Virginia, on March 13, 1923 to Daniel Cecil and Senah Fry Pearson. He was the youngest of six children. In 1926, the family moved to Roswell where his father had been appointed Superintendent of New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI). Tom was raised with the rhythms and discipline of military life.

This upbringing provided him with a strong sense of family, love, duty, dedication and honor that would define his character for life, and be evident to all who met him.

After graduating from Junior College at NMMI, Tom attended Tank Destroyer OCS at Camp Hood, Texas. After serving his country with honor, he was released from duty in 1946 with over three years of active service including a year and half in India.

Soon after, Tom continued his education at the University of Colorado where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1949.

He began his career as a “roughneck” on the offshore rigs of Louisiana, employed by Exxon Oil Co. Tom spent the next 37 years with Exxon as a Petroleum engineer stationed along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas and retired doing oil well permitting and environmental compliance. He was a prominent member of the engineering team that designed Exxon’s first self-propelled, semi-submersible drilling platform, the “Alaskan Star”.

Tom enjoyed many hobbies through the years including gardening, tinkering and fixing anything broken, deer and dove hunting, “jitterbug” dancing, and helped with displaying the beautiful art objects Betty created. He took pride in his workmanship: if it was worth doing, it was worth doing right.

Tom retired in 1986, and he and Betty returned to Roswell where they had grown up, and immediately became involved with old and new friends. They rejoined St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church where Tom served as a member of the Vestry and was instrumental in designing their Columbarium. They joined the Chaparral Rockhounds to comb the surrounding areas of New Mexico for fascinating rocks and gems. They had many adventures with the Wilderness Hikers where Tom helped plan and lead hikes and other activities; he was also an active member of the Roswell Historical Society.

Tom had many stories to tell and enjoyed showing relatives and friends about the town and particularly the Institute. He was a very patriotic man, flying the American flag every day at their home. Tom’s strong character and dry sense of humor will be missed by those who knew him.

Tom enjoyed a good joke, laughing, a good hot cup of coffee, music and revisiting memories. Roll on Tom, with the “tumbling tumbleweeds” and we know you’ll find a good cup of “java jive” in heaven. Don’t drink it all; save some for the rest of us, we’ll join you later.

The family would like to thank the staff and caregivers of La Villa, and the staff and caregivers of Gentiva for their kindness and support.

The family requests, in lieu of flowers, that you support the New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) Foundation—Pearson Scholarships, 101 W. College Blvd., Roswell, NM, 88201 or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory.

His builds include the Banana ZR1, the Frankenford, and many other builds. He worked long hours, late nights, and even weekends; but that never stopped him from lending a hand to a friend that needed help with their build or answering questions on forums.

Senate’s Harry Reid announces he won’t seek re-election

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, the wily Nevadan who dominated the Senate for a decade from the minority to the majority and back again, announced Friday he will retire after five terms.

Three-term New York Sen. Chuck Schumer faces a relatively clear path to replace him as the next Democratic leader. Reid endorsed the No. 3 Senate Democrat, and Dick Durbin of Illinois, the current No. 2, told Schumer Thursday night he had his support, according to a spokesman.

Durbin plans to run again for the job of Democratic whip.

“I think it’s very important to have continuity in our leadership,” Reid told KNPR radio in Nevada about backing Schumer.

Reid, 75, who shepherded key Obama administration initiatives including the president’s health care law, lost his role as majority leader — the Senate’s top job — when November’s elections swept the Republicans into control.

He suffered a personal setback on New Year’s Day, falling while exercising and suffering serious bruises and a lasting injury to his right eye.

Reid was the Republicans’ top target in 2016 and widely considered vulnerable to losing the seat he’d held since 1987.

Still, the stubborn gold miner’s son had cheated political death before, and few were writing him off.

In a statement early Friday, Reid said the recovery period from his eye injury, which may leave him with permanent vision loss, gave him time to think about his political future.

“We have to make sure that the Democrats take control of the Senate again,” he said. “And I feel it is inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources on me when I could be devoting those resources to the caucus, and that’s what I intend to do.”

Reid, who rose from nothing in the tiny desert town of Searchlight, Nevada, had grown more unpopular at home due to positions he’d taken on national issues. He turned back a challenge in 2010 and was sure to face an aggressive, big-money attack by Republicans if he ran again.

President Barack Obama issued a statement that said Reid “has become not only an ally, but a friend.”

In a surprise, Obama called in to the radio show, chatting with Reid about their years together pushing legislation, fighting the Great Recession and overhauling the nation’s health care system.

Said Obama, “We’ve had a great run.”

As Democratic leader, Reid thrived on behindthe-scenes wrangling. He guided the Senate through a crippling recession and the GOP takeover of the House in the 2010 elections, which sparked years of bitter partisan battles

and congressional gridlock.

He was known for frequent gaffes and impolitic remarks, once complaining that tourists to the Capitol smelled, and calling former President George W. Bush a “loser” and a “liar.”

Since returning to work after his fall, Reid has struggled to regain sight in his right eye, appearing in the Capitol in bandages and then with his eye shielded by tinted glasses. He told The Associated Press early this month that the injury was “a tremendous inconvenience,” but nothing more, and not enough to stop him from seeking re-election.

“I’ve had black eyes before,” said Reid, who was an accomplished amateur boxer in his youth.

Even from his post in the minority, Reid leveraged Senate rules to exert steely control. He held his 46-member caucus together against attempts by Republicans to pass legislation undoing Obama’s executive actions on immigration, forcing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to back down, and House Speaker John Boehner to follow. The episode left some House Republicans complaining bitterly that Reid might as well still be majority leader.

In classic fashion, Reid could not resist needling McConnell, with whom he had an icy relationship, as he disclosed his departure.

“My friend Sen. McConnell, don’t be too elated. I’m going to be here

At least 9 dead as militants attack hotel in Somali capital MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Al-Shabab militants blasted their way into a Mogadishu hotel on Friday and took up positions inside, killing at least nine people and exchanging fire with security forces seeking to recapture the facility, a Somali police official said.

One survivor who made it safely outside the Maka Al-Mukarramah hotel in the Somali capital said the militants were killing anyone they could find inside.

He did not give his name.

The attack started when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden car at the gate of the hotel. Gunmen then quickly moved in, Capt. Mohamed Hussein told The Associated Press from the scene of the attack.

Hours later, the militants were still holed up in the hotel’s dark alleys and rooms. Sporadic gunfire could be heard, but it appeared that the security forces would wait until daybreak before trying again to dislodge the militants.

At least four gunmen trapped an unknown number of people inside the building, Hussein said.

He said he had counted at least nine bodies, but the death toll was likely to rise.

Al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked Islamic extremist group that has carried out many attacks in Somalia, claimed responsibility for the assault on the hotel, which is popular with Somali government officials and foreigners.

Somali special forces trained their weapons on the hotel’s windows as gun-

fire rang out from inside.

Some survivors jumped out of the hotel’s windows.

One bloodied government soldier, wounded from fighting, was dragged out by colleagues and bundled into an ambulance, according to Hussein.

It remained unclear who was being targeted by the militants and how many civilians were inside the hotel.

Somalia has been trying to rebuild following years of political instability and civil strife since 1991, when the dictator Siad Barre was ousted from power.

But al-Shabab routinely carries out suicide bombings, drive-by shootings and other attacks in Mogadishu, the seat of Somalia’s Western-backed government — often targeting government troops, lawmakers and foreigners.

Al-Shabab controlled much of Mogadishu between 2007 and 2011, but was pushed out of Somalia’s capital and other major cities by African Union forces. Despite major setbacks in 2014, al-Shabab continues to wage a deadly insurgency against Somalia’s government and remains a threat in the East African region.

The group has carried out attacks in neighboring countries, including Kenya, whose military is part of the African Union troops bolstering Somalia’s weak government.

At least 67 people were killed in a September 2013 attack by al-Shabab on a mall in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.

Warships move in key strait as airstrikes widen in Yemen

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — As airstrikes in Yemen intensified on their second day Friday, Egypt and Saudi Arabia were considering an intervention on the ground, aimed at giving the president a secure foothold to return to the country, while backing Sunni tribesmen to fight against Shiite rebels and their allies, military officials said.

A likely entry point for troops from the Saudi-led Arab coalition was the southern port of Aden, the Yemeni and Egyptian military officials told The Associated Press. But that could be a tough prospect: The city is already a battleground, and on Friday forces loyal to the rebels’ top ally, former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, were advancing toward it.

The officials’ comments to the AP draw broad outlines for the likely strategy for the ambitious campaign launched Thursday, led by Saudi Arabia with a major role by its ally Egypt. The aim, they said, was to carve out enough room for President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who was forced to flee the country from Aden, to return. Longer-term, the campaign aims to wear down the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, and Saleh’s forces, enough to reach a power-sharing accord. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans.

“The credibility and legitimacy of President Hadi erode with every day he spends outside the country,” said one Yemeni military official. Hadi fled by boat from Aden on Wednesday, making his way to Saudi Arabia, and on Fri-

day arrived in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for an Arab summit due to start the following day.

The forces of Saleh appear to be a key concern.

Saleh ruled Yemen with an autocratic hand for nearly 40 years until he was forced out and replaced by Hadi in 2012 following an Arab Spring uprising. But he remained in Yemen and kept the loyalty of many military commanders. One Yemeni official Friday estimated that 70 percent of the army is loyal to Saleh, including many of the best armed and trained units based around the country.

Those pro-Saleh troops have been fighting alongside the Iranian-allied Houthis, enabling them to take over the capital Sanaa and much of the country over the past months — at least 10 of Yemen’s 21 provinces.

Saudi Arabia and fellow Sunni-led allies in the Gulf and the Middle East view the Houthi takeover as an attempt by Iran to establish a proxy on the kingdom’s southern border. Iran and the Houthis deny that Tehran arms the rebel movement, though it says it provides diplomatic and humanitarian support.

Washington says the U.S. is providing refueling tankers and surveillance flights for the Saudi operations, and there are several U.S. troops working in the operations center, but the U.S is not taking direct military action.

A second day of intense airstrikes by Saudi Arabia and its allies hammered Sanaa and five other provinces, hitting bases of units loyal to Saleh. They struck

in Saleh’s stronghold of Samhan, outside Sanaa, where Saleh is believed to have fled, and the Houthis’ main stronghold, the mountainous northern region of Saada, where the group’s leader Abdul-Malik Houthi is located.

At least 24 civilians were killed in Friday’s strikes, bringing the toll from two days to 45 civilians, the Houthi-run Interior Ministry said. The Houthis’ TV station showed footage from a market in Saada it said was struck by missiles, with images of charred bodies and wrecked vehicles.

Yemeni security officials said around 80 fighters from Houthi or Saleh forces have been killed in the strikes. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press. By Friday afternoon, more than 40 percent of Yemen’s air defenses were destroyed, according to Yemeni Brig. Gen. Saleh al-Subaihi, a pro-Hadi officer.

The figures of civilian and combatant casualties could not be independently confirmed.

Also Friday, Saudi and Egyptian warships deployed to Bab al-Mandab, the strategic strait off Yemen at the entrance of the Red Sea, Egyptian military officials said. The strait gives the only access to Egypt’s Suez Canal from the Arabian Sea and is a vital passage for shipping between Europe and Asia.

On his party website, Saleh proposed a ceasefire by the coalition, Hadi’s forces and the Houthis — without mentioning

Gun owned by agent who toppled Capone headed to Vegas museum MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J. (AP) — The gun is a triumph of American craftsmanship from the early 20th century, its sleek barrel familiar to anyone raised on the movies of Bogart and Cagney, “Scarface” and “Little Caesar.”

Except this Smith & Wesson .38 special has reallife stories to tell, stories of America’s most legendary mobster and the undercover agent who was instrumental in toppling him when so many others had failed.

Stored for decades in attics, closets and a bank safe-deposit box in New Jersey, the gun belonging to former IRS agent Michael Malone — and possibly used by members of Al Capone’s gang — is headed to Las Vegas, where it will be part of an the exhibit at The Mob Museum beginning in midApril.

More than a lifeless artifact, the gun also represents a young man’s quest to learn more about a mysterious relative, and an effort by an often-forgotten arm of the government to shed more light on the men behind the arrest and prosecution of Capone.

“Michael Malone was, I believe, the greatest undercover agent in the history of law enforcement,” said Paul Camacho, a former head of IRS criminal investigations in Las Vegas and an unofficial agency historian. “This was the riskiest assignment you could ever think of. People were dying left and right, witnesses were dying left and right. Nobody wanted to be with these guys.”

Malone infiltrated Capone’s gang and worked undercover for nearly three years, Camacho said, passing himself off as a wiseguy from Philadelphia who had migrated to Chicago. He gained the mobster’s trust to the point that he was invited to a going away party when it appeared Capone was going to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Capone eventually was convicted on tax charges

Prepping future volunteers for success

By Christina Stock Vision Editor

According to the Corporation for National & Community Service of the United States of America, one in four adults (25.4 percent) in 2013 volunteered through an organization, demonstrating that volunteering remains an important way of life in the nation.

Looking back on history, voluntarism is as close to the heart of the United States as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It is part of the American spirit, often playing a revolutionary roll in our communities. Our roots in service extend all the way back to the first settlements, when volunteers provided for others in times of strife. From the very beginning of our nation, in wartime, times of tragedy and times of need, Americans have banded together to help each other.

Without volunteers, there would have been no militia fighting the English, no Underground Railroad

helping slaves to freedom.

Volunteering impacted our social system, beginning in the early 20th century, when women found a home and a voice in organizations, while they were still excluded from political decision-making or voting.

There they found strength and fellowship that united them to fight for their rights in mostly peaceful demonstrations. The first nurses of World War I under Dorothea Dix were all volunteers. In 1964, The War on Poverty became the beginning of several national service programs, including Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), the Job Corps, the Neighborhood Youth Corps and College Work Study Program.

Just like the United States, Roswell has a base in voluntarism with some of the oldest organizations in the area. The Elks Lodge 969 will be 109 years old this summer. The Roswell Woman’s Club was founded the same year. We have

Bringing awareness Girl Scouts to learn the to people’s minds importance of independence

By Dylanne Petros Vistas Editor

Ninety percent of the children who are assaulted are assaulted by people they know.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Roswell Refuge will be getting the word out by placing two billboards in Roswell, said Cindy Wilson, executive director for the Roswell Refuge.

The first billboard will be placed on College Boulevard by Farley’s and the second will be placed on Main Street on the way to the airport, said Sally Craine, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner advocate coordinator.

New Mexico, Craine said, is the No. 1 state in the country for domestic violence and No. 4 for cases of rape.

One in four women and one in 20 males experience rape while one in six males experience some form of sexual abuse, she said.

“It has been proposed that our number could be so high because it is reported more,” Wilson said. “This should not diminish what these statistics are saying because they are horrifying.”

Craine said out of all the rape victims, only 16 percent end up reporting the rape.

In cultural groups, like the LGBTQ group, Wilson suspects 95 percent of sexual assault cases are not reported.

“That number disturbs me as much, if not more,

that what is being reported,” she said.

Wilson hopes the placement of the two billboards in April will put the issue of sexual assault in the forefront of people’s minds.

The billboards, she said, were made possible by the National Football League.

The NFL, she said, teamed up with the New Mexico Assault Coalition and gave out grants to organizations.

“The grant was specifically designed to get information out to make people aware,” Wilson said. “We were very happy to be one of the recipients.”

Wilson said the NFL started the grants because of all the domestic violence cases football players are currently involved in.

“This was their reaction in a positive way,” she said.

The billboards leave a powerful message with the viewer, Wilson said.

Recently SANE nurses have become a part of the Roswell Refuge and Wilson said they are desperately needed.

“We were very honored and proud to bring them on board,” she said.

If people report a domestic abuse case to the police, the police will contact the SANE nurses to do an examination.

“Our nurses do an excellent job of collecting evidence in the most compassionate way they can,” Wilson said. “That evidence has proven absolutely critical and crucial to these See APRIL, Page C2

Throughout the year the Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest troop 18044 have many fun events planned.

Fort Lone Tree Adventure Camp Family Weekend on April 10-12 is the next one scheduled.

The Girl Scouts show that girls can do everything, especially at Fort Lone Tree. They have zip lines to fly through the course for the brave ones who can test their skills, an outdoor track to race a RC car around, rock walls and giant swings.

Participants can visit the archery and rifle range and for those who like to keep their feet on the ground, tamer games such as board games and cards are also available.

Fort Lone Tree is tucked away in the Capitan mountains, where Billy the Kid used to roam. The fort looks like a real fort out of a Western movie and was established in 1980.

The girls and their families do not have to rough it; the cabins have plumbing, heat and electric.

Men and women stay in separate cabins. The area is surrounded with pine trees and meadows. Families can relax, connect, and create memories, away from all distractions of daily life.

All activities are supervised by certified camp staff.

Senior Olympics to host 37th year in Roswell Submitted What do the Sony Walk ma n , th e Mc Do n a ld ’ s Happy Meal, leg warmers and Strawberry Shortcake have in common with New Mexico Senior Olympics?

In 1979 these products were being launched onto the American scene. At the same time Ernesto Ramos and his team created a statewide competition that would help seniors stay active and change how these New Mexican’s lived their daily lives.

“A lot of people don’t realize that New Mexico was the first state in the nation to hold statewide games for seniors,” Ramos said. “There were senior games taking place at a local level in many states, with the largest in Los Angeles, but New Mexico was the first to hold statewide games.”

In 1979 Ernesto Ramos was working for the federal government helping senior programs in New Mexico receive necessary funding for the continuation of programs that assisted the growing senior population. While the job was rewarding in its own rights, Ramos believed more could be done in the state to help seniors stay active, healthy and thrive.

Because of the vision and leadership of Ramos, the New Mexico Senior Olympics was born with 150 athletes from all around the state who competed in the softball distance throw, 50- and 100-yard dashes, 880 and one mile runs, 50-yard wheelchair race and Frisbee throw events.

Ramos and his team also added dancing contests, bubble gum chewing, balloon busting, pie eating and making ugly faces events to their oneday Olympics, which were held in Los Lunas and Albuquerque.

Fast forward to the 2015, the 37th annual New Mexico Senior Olympic Games now hosts 26 individual sporting events including archery, air gun, badminton, basketball, billiards, bowling, cycling, dance, disc golf, horseshoes, golf, race walk, racquetball, softball, shuffleboard, swimming, tennis, table tennis and track and field at sport venues located throughout Roswell and the New Mexico Military Institute campus.

This year there is an anticipated 800 active adults 50-plus, from all parts of New Mexico, competing in this four-day event.

“There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to organize an event of this size and magnitude, which is the largest multi-sport event in New Mexico,” said Cecilia Acosta, executive director.“More than 400 volunteers are utilized to plan, coordinate, direct and successfully implement the Senior Olympic Games.”

New this year is the Seniors Got Talent entertainment show at the Pueblo Auditorium, Saturday June 6 at 1 p.m., Acosta said. The show is free to the athletes and spectators.

True to form, Ramos will be in Roswell to watch his seniors from around the state compete.

“I love to attend the games because the level of competition is intense and it’s a very exciting time,” Ramos said. “People may think that the Senior Olympics is older people casually playing games, but once you see how competitive the action is, you will become an instant and lifelong fan. We have some of the best senior athletes in the state and when our athletes go to the National Senior Games, they go to win and bring home the gold.”

Ramos served on the National Senior Olympics board from 1990-1998 as well as the national president from 1995-1997.

“The intense competition prepares New Mexico athletes to dominate at the national games,” he said.

NSGA governs the biennial National Senior Games, the largest multisport event in the world for seniors. New Mexico Senior Olympics hosts the sanctioned state event for people 50-plus to qualify to compete at the national games. The 2015 National Senior Games, presented

by Humana, will be held July 3-16 in Bloomington/ Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.

New Mexico seniors have most likely traded in their Walkman’s for iPods, their leg warmers for ankle weights and running shoes, their Happy Meals for healthy food but maybe, just maybe they will hold on to strawberry shortcake theme as a well-deserved dessert reward after the games.

Singspiration delights audience Staff Report The Pecos Valley Baptist Association held its second annual Senior Adult Singspiration on St. Patrick’s Day with about 200 senior adults in attendance. Seniors from all over southeastern New Mexico and West Texas gathered to worship through songs presented by senior adult choirs from Roswell, Carlsbad and Clovis.

The day began at 10 a.m. with a moving performance by the Bethel Ladies Group from Roswell. After their performance, special guest Kevin Warner from Albuquerque put on a comedy

Burrola, sponsored by the Roswell Elks Lodge, placed in the 12-13 year old boys division by sinking 22 free throws out of 25 attempts. He also got four out of five in a shoot-out to break a tie. He missed first place by one basket.

To earn a spot in the regional competition, Burrola won his local lodge contest and then the Southeast District shootoff. He earned the New Mexico title at the New Mexico Elks Association

organizations supporting education of our children, of adults, supporting veterans and much more.

Our leaders of tomorrow are formed watching their parents and grandparents working together to better their and everyone’s future.

There have been changes in town. One generation is slowly stepping away from the active life as a volunteer and into the position of advisor, the Best Generation there ever was – the World War II generation is almost gone. Baby-Boomers and younger citizens want to step up and continue this deeply American tradition of giving their time, their knowledge and effort to improve our town for the next generation to come. But how will they

know, where they can do the best, where they fit in? Asking young people, and those who are new in town, you often hear: “I don’t know which organization is best for me. I don’t even know which one we have here.” How can our Roswell-newbies find information about more than 70 civic organizations in town? How can the organizations reach those new to our town and those who are now in a place in life to give back, when the need for volunteers is just as important as it was 100 years ago? The solution came with our Salvation Army Roswell Corps, who are organizing the first event of its kind in recent memory. They will present all organizations looking for volunteers – on one day – under one roof.

The first Roswell Volunteer Fair is going to take place in the Roswell Civic

Center on 912 N. Main St. on April 4 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Those who are interested in helping children, the elderly or animals, education or health, there is a booth and experienced volunteers who will be able to tell those who are interested in becoming active all about it. No matter, if our future volunteers are looking to be physically active, or want to share their knowhow, or are talented in organizing or planning, they will find the right place to take action and to make Roswell a much better place for their family, kids and our community.

There will be complementary coffee, tea and muffins in the morning and snacks, and beverages for lunch.

act that included audience participation. After that, the Senior Adult Choir from Central Baptist Church in Clovis entertained the crowd with beautiful renditions of classic songs and hymns.

Following their performance, Reflections from Carlsbad performed several songs and shared their God-given talents. Wrapping up the entertainment, Kevin Warner came in as Father Patty and shared the story of St. Patrick and how the shamrock symbolizes the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The crowd loved Warner’s hilarious comedy and his infec-

tious personality. Throughout the morning the senior adults enjoyed getting their picture taken at a St. Patrick’s Day photo booth with a leprechaun with all proceeds going to the New Mexico Baptist Children’s Home. The day ended with an Irish stew and pistachio cake prepared by the ladies of First Baptist Church, Artesia.

It was a wonderful day filled with amazing music, many laughs and delicious food. On Sept. 15, there will be a fiesta at First Baptist Church in Artesia with piñatas, sombreros, mariachi band and much more.

cases.”

If drugs are suspected in the assault, Craine said SANE will run all the necessary blood tests and send them to the toxicology laboratory.

“Drug facilitated sexual assault is more common than people believe,” she said.

When an examination is conducted, the victim’s clothes are taken as part of evidence. Roswell Refuge gives the victims clothes and anything else they may need to feel clean and comfortable, Craine said.

“We try to collect as much evidence as we can in order to help law enforcement facilitate the case and move forward to prosecution,” she said.

After the initial examination, victims receive prescriptions for medications to prevent sexually trans-

mitted infections and victims can also receive Plan B, Craine said.

A couple of days after the examination, the refuge likes to meet with victims for a follow-up, Wilson said.

“I think the follow-up is so important because after the initial trauma and shock, talking with someone who’s there for you and understands means a lot,” she said.

There is also a fund set up for victims if they need help with monetary costs, Craine said. The fund is part of the Crime Victims Reparation Commission.

Victims can use the money, she said, to recoup.

“Just recently here in Roswell we had one client who was a victim of rape, a serious violent rape,” Craine said. “She did a lot of recovery in Lubbock because we didn’t have the facilities to treat her injuries here.”

The woman filed for funds through the Crime Victims Reparation Com-

T h is y e a r m o r e t h a n 340,000 kids in the southeast region (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas) competed in the contest, said Russell Scott, Southwest regional director of the Elks Hoop Shoot program. Nationwide, 1.5 million boys and girls will compete in three different age groups.

“It’s an honor to be able to give kids like these a platform to excel. The Elks are all about helping the youth of America and this program gives them the chance to shine,” Scott said.

The Elks are a fraternal organization with nearly one million members nationwide and distributes more than $26 million annually for scholarships and other youth, community and veteran programs.

mission and received money to help cover the cost of replacing her teeth and glasses among other things.

One of the most important things that people need to realize is victim blaming still happens and it needs to stop, Wilson said.

“Just because a woman may drink a little that’s not an invitation to abuse her, misuse her and sexually assault (her),” she said. “We all read too many cases of this in the media every week.”

Wilson said the community of Roswell has a duty to help keep everyone safe and report anything suspicious to the police.

“The ones who are offending rely on our silence,” she said. “I think our biggest message is silence is what is allowing this to go on and silence kills.”

C4 Sunday, March 29, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married more than 20 years and have three children. What I haven’t had is a real desire for sex — nor have I ever had, as far as I know, an orgasm. Before my wedding, my mother warned me that sex was overblown, uncomfortable and messy, but she said I had to put up with it if I wanted kids and a good marriage.

Movies, TV shows and ED ads all suggest that “normal” women are just looking for the next opportunity to jump into bed with their man. Am I a

Comics freak? Are there others like me?

What do I tell MY girls as they grow up?

WAITING IN WICHITA DEAR WAITING: Your mother did you no favor by saying what she did about sex. Sex can be “messy,” but it is also supposed to be pleasurable, and both parties should be able to enjoy it. If sex is painful, then something is wrong.

I would never label you a freak. However, you may be asexual, because some people are. If you have never experienced an orgasm, you may have married a man who was also sexually inexperienced.

It’s a mistake to judge what sex is supposed to be like from media and/or advertising. People pitching products can be notoriously unreliable, and some television shows and movies strive for shock value.

Your gynecologist would be a far more reliable information resource.

As to what to tell your daughters, there are many books on the subject, and your gynecologist may be able to recommend some literature. But please do not give your daughters the same message your mother gave to you, because it was wrong.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I have two daughters, “Mary Beth,” 48, and “Anne,” 50, who do not talk to each other. The last time we were all together was a family vacation in 2010.

They live in different states, and I travel to visit them for the holidays. They have similar lifestyles — married, children, work outside the home — but they don’t reach out to each other.

When Mary Beth wrote her feelings to Anne, they were viewed as hurtful and vindictive.

I received a copy of the letter, but I didn’t think they were.

That was two years ago, and Anne never sent a reply. She

Roswell Daily Record

said, “Oh, Mom, I don’t know what to write. Can you help?”

Frankly, I think Anne prefers the lack of contact with her sister, and that even though they are sisters there is no bond between them. What do you suggest? The silence is unbearable. I want to hear the “noise” again.

DISAPPOINTED MOM IN RENO DEAR DISAPPOINTED MOM: Nowhere in your letter did you mention how Mary Beth feels about the fact that her letter may have caused an estrangement. As an adult, Anne should have responded to that letter. It isn’t unusual in families that are geographically separated for sibling bonds to loosen. Work, marriage and children can be profoundly distracting.

I’m advising you to continue to see both daughters, but not involve yourself in their relationship.

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Many of you wrote in regarding a recent SOUND OFF. It was about people not waiting their turn when lanes merge. Here is what one reader had to say: "You recently had a reader comment that he/she didn't like people who don't merge into traffic when a lane is shutting down ahead, but instead keep driving ahead and try to get in at the last minute. That is actually the way they do merges in some other countries, and it's much more efficient, utilizing both lanes until people take turns merging at the bottleneck. So when you see this happening on the highway, don't shake your fists at the other drivers. Remember that there are differences of opinion on this, but engaging in 'zipper merging' is common elsewhere. We should all just calm down and avoid the road rage!"

Susan, via email Many of you shared Susan's opinion. I believe the reader who wrote the original Sound Off was not talking about people "zipper merging," but instead forcing their way in or changing lanes in an effort to get ahead and not wait their turn. If we all followed the "zipper merging" technique, each waited our turn and allowed cars to merge one by one, there would be a lot less frustration!

Keep those letters coming. I love reading everyone's opinion!

Heloise P.S.: While on this subject, please, readers, use a turn signal so others will know what your intention is. Oh, yes, allow one car in rather than be a "lane hog."

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: Regarding your Easy Baked Italian Chicken recipe, do you need to bake it covered? Thanks so much!

Marlys W., via email Thanks for the question, Marlys! You do not need to bake the chicken recipe covered. And remember that this recipe is a starting point. Feel free to season as you see fit, depending on which Italian dressing you choose to use. Need the recipe again? Or want to try one of my other All-Time Favorite Recipes? Order my pamphlet.
