RISD approves $9.6 million solar farm deal

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer The Roswell school board has signed off on a proposed $290 million solar power project northeast of Roswell that would be the largest solar project in state history.

Under terms of a resolution adopted by the school board Tuesday night, the Roswell Independent School District will reap $320,000 a year for 30 years of annual payments in lieu of property taxes, for a total of $9.6 million.

NextEra Energy Resources LLC has proposed building three separate solar farms on 1,300 acres of private land 5 to 8 miles northeast of downtown Roswell.

NextEra Energy Resources, the largest renewable energy generator in the United States, has asked the RISD and Chaves County, the two taxing entities for the properties, for an agreement in which NextEra would make annual payments to RISD and Chaves County in lieu of property taxes.

Chaves County would take ownership of the properties, removing them

“The board of education hereby consents to the county’s acquisition of the projects and construction of the projects by the company pursuant to (state law),” states the resolution the school board approved Tuesday night.

Under terms of the proposal, NextEra will make

$800,000 of annual payments in lieu of property taxes for 30 years, with $320,000 annually to RISD and $480,000 a year to Chaves County.

RISD Superintendent Tom Burris explained Wednesday the agreement is essentially a tax break to entice NextEra to build the solar project that would be capable of powering every home in Roswell and more.

The outstanding ques-

tion was what percentage of payments in lieu of taxes would go to RISD and what portion to Chaves County.

Burris said it made sense for the county to reap the majority of payments in lieu of taxes since the county is responsible for road maintenance in the project area and provides the area with police and fire protection.

“You’re going to have vandalism out there over

30 years,” Burris said.

“You’re going to have police out there.”

The Roswell school board Tuesday night discussed the terms of the proposed payments in lieu of taxes.

“The question was raised, which it doesn’t surprise me a bit, about the split,” Burris said. “There was a lot of conversation about the split. (School board member) Eloy Ortega, very admirably, was trying to

get the school district’s percentage a little bit higher.”

Ortega suggested a 57-43 split, with 57 percent of the payments in lieu of taxes going to the county and 43 percent to RISD. After discussing the matter for about 15 minutes, the school board unanimously approved the resolution that allocates 60 percent to the county and 40 See SOLAR, Page A3

Driver’s licenses for immigrants debate continues

AP Photo

Thousands of immigrant advocates rally at the State Capitol to protest a proposal aimed at repealing a New Mexico law that allows immigrants in the country illegally to obtain driver’s licenses Feb. 2 in Santa Fe.

SANTA FE (AP) — Alejandro Altamirano from Durango, Mexico, has called New Mexico home for a dozen years, and it’s where his two U.S.born daughters are being raised. But the 36-yearold dairy farmworker fears he will be forced into the shadows if he loses his driver’s license.

For years, New Mexico led in handing out driver’s licenses to people suspected of being in the country illegally.

Now, legislation to stop the practice is gaining traction despite a trend sweeping through several states to offer driving privileges to everyone regardless of their status.

Fresh off a political power shift, the Repub-

lican-led House of Representatives is poised to pass a measure repealing a 2003 law that made New Mexico one of the first states to offer licenses to immigrants regardless of status. However, the momentum may not matter since Senate Democrats have vowed to fight the legislation.

The battle comes in a state with the nation’s highest percentage of Latinos and the only Latina governor.

Proponents of the bill say polling indicates most New Mexicans want to reverse course and repeal the law. They argue it would help prevent fraud and bring the See LICENSES, Page A3

2-year-old left in Burris addresses bullying in schools unlocked, running car outside store

By Dylanne Petros Record Staff Writer

Bill addressing issue is currently in Legislature Submitted by RPD While leaving a purse inside a vehicle is ill-advised if you are leaving the vehicle, and leaving the vehicle unlocked and its engine running while you are gone are also generally bad decisions, a Roswell woman last weekend did all these things as she left her car parked outside Wal-Mart. Then she added one more very poor choice: Leaving her 2-year-old daughter alone in the car.

Coincidentally, the state Legislature is considering a bill, introduced last month, that addresses this type of

situation.

In this past weekend’s incident, two passersby noticed the unattended child in the car Feb. 7 about 11:40 p.m. and asked store personnel to call police. Roswell Police Department officers arrived to find the child in a car parked on the north side of the store. The child was asleep in the rear seat of the unlocked vehicle, which was still running.

An announcement was made inside the store for the owner of the vehicle to come to the front. The See CHILD, Page A3

After months of parental concerns of bullying and discrimination in Roswell schools, the administrators at Roswell Independent School District have attended a training session on diversity, sensitivity and bullying.

Superintendent Tom Burris informed school board members of the recent training session at Tuesday’s school board meeting.

The training session, sponsored by Poms and Associates, taught administrators of the district’s 20 buildings how to recognize and address issues such as racism and bullying. “(The coordinators) discussed the history of rac-

Burris ism and laws that have addressed these issues,” Burris said.

One parent said it was about time the issue was addressed.

“I wonder what took them so long to get it done,” said Thomas Davis, a parent of a Mountain View Middle School student.

Davis’ son used to attend Mesa Middle School but transferred

schools because students were calling Davis’ son the “N-word.”

Davis said the training is good but nothing can be done for him and his son.

“The damage in my case has already been done. (The training) is late,” he said.

Davis added that his son was not the only child hurt due to bullying in the school district.

“What about all the other kids and all the other stories?” he said.

Davis also said the training was done so administrators would not get penalized for not doing anything in the past.

“Now (the policies are) in place to basically cover (Burris’) job,” he said.

Burris said after the training session, administrators went back to

their schools and taught the faculty the information they learned from Poms and Associates.

“This means that over 1,200 staff received training in diversity, sensitivity and bullying,” he said. “Thank you to all for your attendance and heartfelt participation.”

Burris told the Daily Record Wednesday he addressed Davis’ concerns, even if it wasn’t as quick as Davis wanted.

“It just doesn’t happen over night,” Burris said.

“It’s done.”

Now the training has been done, Davis said he hopes the bullying goes down in the schools.

“I hope no other kid gets bullied,” he said.

percent to RISD. “There was a lot of discussion, then there was a motion to pass as it was, and the motion did get unanimous support,” Burris said. “You’ve got all the county needs that are there, so the split between us and them on the lump sum is 60-40. We get 40, they get 60. Nobody made a motion at 43 (percent). So a motion was made as written, and that’s the motion that was voted on unanimously.”

The payments in lieu of taxes would begin one year after Chaves County issues $290 million of industrial revenue bonds to finance the three separate projects constituting the 1,300-acre solar farm.

“The first year of construction, they won’t be producing anything, but at the end of that year, we’ll be paid,” Burris said. “It’s really dependent on when they get all their requirements lined up. What they’ve told us, that one year after these negotiations are done and everything is set in place, that we’ll get our first check.”

Burris said NextEra still has to negotiate a purchaser for the electricity that would be produced at the solar farm. Two of the projects would involve 70-megawatt solar fields, while the third project would entail a 30-megawatt project, all in the same vicinity, near the intersection of Wrangler and East Pine Lodge roads, and near a 115-kilovolt transmission substation owned by Southwestern Public Service Co. The land for the 1,300acre site was formerly used for grazing.

“They’ve been in conversations about selling that power, but until they know they’re going to be able to build the projects, they’re not going to have a finalized agreement with a power company to sell it,” Burris said. “We were really the first step here. If we had said ‘No,’ this thing is done right now.”

Burris said RISD currently collects about $320 a year from the three parcels constituting the proposed solar farm. The total current property tax bill for the three parcels is about

Continued from Page A1

$840.

“We’re going to go from about $320 a year to $320,000 a year,” Burris said. “That would be the school district’s share.”

Burris said there are no plans yet on how to utilize the influx of revenues.

“We haven’t seen those revenues yet, so I would be getting ahead of the ball if I made any plans for them,” he said.

However, Burris said his goal is for the revenue infusion to be utilized for the school district’s ongoing school renovations.

“Where I would propose that we spend that is on our capital construction projects,” Burris said. “It would relieve the taxpayers just a little bit. It would help. It would definitely help.”

RISD’s total operational budget is about $78 million, Burris said.

Burris said he has discussed with NextEra officials incorporating the solar farm into RISD curriculum.

“They look forward to working with the school district and working with some of our science classes in studying solar energy,” he said. “And I have actually talked to them about putting a small solar farm out at University High School so that our early college-high school kids could get some hands-on experience with that.”

Jim Shandalov, executive director of development for NextEra Energy, said Wednesday NextEra is pleased with RISD’s approval of the deal.

“The proposed payments in lieu of taxes are a substantial increase over the property taxes currently assessed for the parcels proposed for development,” Shandalov said. “We are continuing forward with development efforts.”

Shandalov said NextEra would host an open house about the proposed solar farm from 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 18 at the Roswell Museum and Art Center.

The Chaves County commissioners are expected to hold a public hearing Feb. 19 on an ordinance authorizing the issuance of $290 million of industrial revenue bonds on behalf of NextEra Energy Resourc-

es. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Chaves County Administrative Center.

In January, the commissioners unanimously approved an “inducement resolution,” paving the way for the commission to approve the ordinance this month that would authorize the county to issue the 30-year industrial revenue bonds.

County leaders have repeatedly said the bond sale would in no way financially obligate the county.

Shandalov said pursuing industrial revenue bonds, and then paying Chaves County a negotiated annual amount in lieu of property taxes, is a method of obtaining financial certainty for the solar development that would entail up to 700,000 solar panels with sun tracking capabilities.

Shandalov said the goal is for the solar farm to be operational by the end of 2016. He said the development would create 300 to 400 construction jobs and employ about five full-time jobs to keep the solar plant running.

Shandalov said the three projects combined, capable of producing 170 megawatts, would by far be the largest solar project in the state, collectively capable of powering more than 40,000 homes.

“Even a single 70 (megawatt) project would be the largest in the state,” Shandalov said. “Currently, the largest project in the state is Southern (Power) Company’s 50 (megawatt) Macho Springs project in Deming.”

NextEra Energy Resources says the renewable energy production would avoid approximately 370,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would have been produced if the electricity had been generated using fossil fuels.

NextEra Energy Resources does business in 26 states and four provinces in Canada. It has three operating projects in New Mexico, one solar and two wind, all of which were financed by industrial revenue bonds in their respective jurisdictions.

utes to an hour.

The woman and child were taken to the police department, where the child was turned over to a representative of the state Children, Youth and Families Department. The woman was not charged with any criminal violations in relation to this incident at the time, but the case was to be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review. The woman is facing unrelated charges of shoplifting and possession of a controlled substance in another case pending in court.

Proposed legislation has been introduced in the current legislative session that would create a new section of law making it a criminal violation to leave a child

younger than 10 years old unattended in a vehicle for longer than five minutes. Under the proposal, a child would be considered as having adequate supervision if someone age 14 or older was also with the vehicle. According to the Legislative Finance Committee, at least 19 other states have similar laws, although the stipulated ages for the children and caretakers vary. The New Mexico proposal contains a penalty of a $100 fine for a violation, and does not include an arrest provision.

However, existing state law allows someone to be arrested for acts considered to be child abuse, including placing a child in a situation that may endanger the child’s life or health.

The woman told officers she had left the child in the car in the care of the child’s father. She added she and the father had gotten into an argument before she went into the store, but she believed the father was going to remain with the car and watch their child. A short time later, the woman admitted she had made up that story and she had in fact left the child unattended. The woman estimated she left the child unattended in the car for 40 min-

state into compliance with federal identification requirements.

Those who want to keep the law argue that working families stand to get hurt if it’s repealed. They say other states that dole out licenses are not running afoul of federal laws.

California this year began issuing driver’s licenses to immigrants who are in the country illegally, bringing the number of states that do so to 10. California expects 1.4 million people to apply for the licenses in the next three years.

“It’s a product of many years and the need for driver’s licenses,” said Tanya Broder, senior staff attorney with the National Immigration Law Center in Los Angeles. “From a policy perspective, it made sense that all the drivers were tested and licensed and insured and accountable for their driving records.”

Opponents say New Mexico has become a haven for those seeking to

fraudulently obtain driver’s licenses.

“These fraud operations involve the trafficking of humans to our state for the purpose of committing crimes; and with no intention to live here, they snatch up our license to take elsewhere, to places unknown and for purposes unknown,” said Mike Lonergan, spokesman for Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.

Martinez, the nation’s only Latina governor and a rising figure in the Republican Party, has been pushing to repeal the driver’s license law since she was first elected in 2010.

The governor and others have said it has failed to drive down the rate of uninsured motorists as intended.

“We tried the experiment, and it didn’t work,” said Rep. William “Bill” Rehm, R-Albuquerque. He says other states giving driver’s licenses to immigrants also will be out of compliance with federal law.

Democrats have blocked the repeal so far and question the Martinez administration’s efforts.

Roswell Daily Record

Another dismal round of voting

I had thought I’d seen it all — paying attention to the news after so many years will do that to you.

Politics becomes so predictable, advocacy so redundant, today’s story so much like yesterday’s.

The news, like history, tends to repeat itself.

But last week I read a story in the Roswell Daily Record unlike any I’d ever seen before. In the Chaves County town of Hagerman, population 1,200 or so, no one voted in the school board election. That’s right, nobody.

Nada. Zero. Zip. Not even the candidates themselves.

What happened was that the ballot only had three unopposed races on it, and that didn’t justify the staffing of a local polling place, so would-be voters would have to drive all of 30 miles to vote at the county clerk’s office in Roswell. That was just too much of an inconvenience, so nobody bothered. Not even the candidates themselves.

Of course, it takes at least one vote to elect even an unopposed candidate, so now officials are trying to figure out a way to get the district’s board legalized

Tom McDonald Guest Columnist before March 1, when all new and re-elected school board members take their seats.

Closing a district that can’t even drum up one vote doesn’t seem to be an option.

What an embarrassment to the democratic process. An election was held and no one came.

I cringe at the implications, not just for Hagerman, but for our state and nation.

The fact is, turnout was dismal all over New Mexico — more than likely, in your hometown as well. In Albuquerque, the Journal reported turnout was only 3.7 percent of all eligible voters. Pitiful. Just pitiful.

This isn’t an isolated slump in voter turnout. More New Mexicans don’t vote than do in nearly every election. People who have

a legal right to register to vote don’t bother to fill out the simple form it requires, while people who actually do take five minutes to fill out the form don’t bother to show up on election day.

Why is it that New Mexicans and Americans have become so complacent about voting? We’re quick to complain about our government, our laws, and our politicans, but when it comes to actually participating in the process that rules over them, most people opt out.

I don’t think it’s the busyness of our lives that keeps people away. Nor is it simple apathy. I think it’s fatalism. Why vote, I’ve heard people say, when it doesn’t change anything. Politicians gravitate toward money, not votes, because with enough money they can buy the votes they need. I’ll bet that’s the majority opinion among the non-voters out there, and while there’s truth behind such a sentiment, it’s not the whole truth.

The whole truth is that money governs politics because people have allowed it to happen. Too many have sat on the sidelines,

blissfully ignorant to the takeover, and that’s allowed the moneyed interests to become more important to the process than the rank-and-file citizenry.

The Albuquerque Journal used last week’s dismal turnout to advocate for combining school elections with nonpartisan elections (as previously proposed, and defeated, as a constitutional amendment). I’m for anything that makes voting easier, as long as it doesn’t open the process up for fraudulent activity, but I don’t think that will ever be enough.

A couple years ago, I read a story about how a British think tank was recommending to the government there that first-time voters who don’t cast ballots be fined. Since then, I’ve learned that more than 20 nations have compulsory voting laws in place.

Imagine if Think New Mexico was to propose such a move for our state, or the Pew Research Center suggested such a law for our nation. I’ll bet people would condemn the idea as an infringement on our liberties, and our right not to vote — and I suppose in a crazy-but-true sort of way,

they’d be right.

I’m not for compulsory voting — we already have enough uninformed voters casting ballots — but something needs to be done to get more people participating.

I think Americans have forgotten the importance of civic duty.

That’s why membership in service clubs is down. It’s why people try their best to get out of jury duty.

People don’t even report crimes like they used to. Such involvement in the affairs of our community, our state and nation, is just too much of a hassle.

Just like Hagerman, we see no point to the inconveniences that civic duty brings.

Perhaps no one will ever take away your right to vote. Maybe, instead, you’ll just give it away.

And I’ll bet there’s someone out there who is counting on exactly that.

Editorial Venezuelans suffering under socialism Karl Marx in his 1875 work “Critique of the Gotha Program” popularized the phrase, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” to describe the mindset involved in the transition from a capitalist society to a socialist one.

That last part must have been lost in translation in copies of the text that reached Venezuelan shores. Because, while the ruling United Socialist Party has done well to stifle the ability of the butcher, the brewer and the baker to prosper, through a strict regulatory regime of price-fixing and controls on foreign exchange, when it comes to fulfilling the needs of its people, the regime has failed spectacularly.

Last week, the government arrested the owners of a chain of supermarkets for “annoying the Venezuelan people.”

The government’s reasoning was that the store’s inability to stock shelves and staff enough employees to prevent long queues was an attempt to turn the people against the government rather than a response to worsening economic conditions caused by socialist economic theory.

“We detected that a famous chain of stores was conspiring, irritating the people,” President Nicolas Maduro said.

“We came, we normalized sales, we summoned the owners, we arrested them, and they’re prisoners for having provoked the people.”

Days later, Mr. Maduro ordered the arrest on similar charges of two executives at the Farmatodo pharmacy chain, which Jorge Roig, president of the Venezuelan Federation of Chambers of Commerce, told the BBC was “an attack not only on Farmatodo, but a specific attack on private industry.”

The needs, from milk to toilet paper, of everyday Venezuelans continue to be unmet not because of business elites, but by the state’s ever-tightening regulatory regime. Policies meant to curb high prices for scarce goods have only resulted in empty shelves — not just at these two national chains, but across the country — and driven the people to the black market, where a 36-pack of Trojan condoms sells for $755.

Venezuela’s economic woes are systemic and exacerbated by 16 unbroken years of failed socialist rule, and shortages are entirely to blame on government distortion of the private marketplace.

Regardless the contrary thinking of Marx and Mr. Maduro, the free market remains the greatest provider of needs ever devised. Where central planners see scarcity remedied by government intervention, the market sees an opportunity to meet demand with a greater supply.

When the incentive to provide for that demand is perverted through government force, the needs of the people go unrealized.

Could the OPEC prediction of $200 a barrel of oil be ignoring the market realities?

OPEC’s Secretary General Abdulla al-Badri made headlines when he announced that the oil price may have bottomed out — indeed, we had four straight days of increase—and predicted “you will see more than $200 when it comes to future oil prices.”

Al-Badri makes a strong argument. In the current reduced-oil-price environment, we see oil companies cut back on budgets, curtail exploration, and pull in rigs— as in many places it costs more to get the oil out of the ground than the present sales price. The Wall Street Journal reports: “the number of rigs drilling in the U.S. has sunk to a three-year low.”

In today’s market for crude oil, a reduction in the num-

Marita Noon Columnist ber of drilling rigs in the U.S. does not mean overall production declines. It only means less future production. Tim Snyder, an energy economist with Lubbock, Texas, based Pro Petroleum Inc., who analyzes trends to help his company, and others, make educated decisions and manage risk, told me: “We anticipate a decrease in ‘new’ production

in the U.S. as exploration and production companies reallocate capital expenditures and reduce drilling exposure.”

Economics 101 tells us that less supply results in higher prices. Addressing the recent up-tick in prices, Yahoo News says: “Investors bet supplies would tighten in the long term because major oil companies were scaling back investments and drilling to cope with falling prices.”

Al-Badri extrapolates this scenario out to a future of $200 a-barrel oil.

What he apparently misses is that as soon as prices increase, activity in the oil industry will pick back up.

Snyder says: “Once prices reach the $70-75 per barrel range, the more complex drill-

ing solutions begin to become attractive and we will see new production increasing; putting downward pressure on prices all over again.”

When prices are high, human ingenuity comes in and finds a solution—which is how the technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing combined to unleash America’s new era of energy abundance and helped lower prices worldwide.

Maybe al-Badri’s comments were designed to talk the markets up — after all, several OPEC countries’ economies are grim due to the drop in oil prices. For example, oil-rich Venezuela is facing default See NOON, Page A5

This Valentine’s Day, push the reset button on love If you aren’t currently in a relationship — and especially if you’ve recently ended one — you might not be looking forward to Valentine’s Day. The lovey-dovey cards, heartshaped candy boxes, sappy commercials, and made-forTV movies can all feel like too much.

Having been married and divorced three times, I understand how difficult it can be to spend Valentine’s Day without the one you love, and I have some advice to help you survive the next few weeks without strangling Cupid.

Our culture has made Valentine’s Day couples-centric, but it doesn’t have to be. I use this time to consciously reset how I feel about love in gen-

eral, and myself in particular.

One lesson I’ve learned the hard way is that if we don’t know, respect, and appreciate ourselves, it’s unlikely that anyone else will, and we’ll continue to attract unfulfilling, dysfunctional relationships.

Here are 12 ways to show love to yourself—which is the first step toward attracting the relationships you need.

Identify all the things you love about yourself. Figure out exactly what you love about yourself. Is it your smile, your hair, your laugh, your shape, your intellect, or your talents?

Allow yourself to not only acknowledge these things, but to bask in them.

Strengthen your existing

relationships by celebrating other people you love. Make a mental list of the people who enhance your life: family, friends, mentors, colleagues, etc. Consider reaching out and making plans with some of them, or writing a “thank you for being in my life” email.

“De-friend” and distance yourself from people who are bringing you down. It’s amazing how far others can drag us down without our consciously realizing it. Especially at a time of year when you’re already feeling vulnerable, take a fresh look at your friend list and back away from people who act in a way that makes you feel worse about yourself. You don’t have to sever all ties—but don’t sac-

rifice your self-esteem, either.

Forgive your ex—and yourself. Allow yourself to process any anger and resentment you feel toward your ex—but eventually, try to let go of those negative emotions. You can’t fully love or be loved if you can’t forgive. As long as you’re living your life with bitterness and anger eating away at you, you’ll be a prisoner of the past. Learn the lessons you can, stop playing the blame game, and move forward.

Re-evaluate your daily life.

Try to look at your daily routine through fresh eyes. What do you like about it? What don’t you like? What enerSee BRANDT, Page A5

RMAC moving into spring with a bang RMAC curator of Collections and Exhibits, Sara Woodbury, has two new exciting exhibits opening.

One in the Paul Horgan Gallery, “Intaglio to Go,” and “Seeing Cats and Dogs” in the Spring River Gallery.

These exhibits along with our Roswell Artist-in-Residence exhibit by Olive Ayhens is bringing many new faces into the RMAC. Our updated classes in art with RMAC Education Curator Claudia Gonzalez are also attracting more diverse crowds and accommodating greater needs at our municipal museum.

Moving into spring, the RMAC has one of the busiest schedule of events that it has had in a long time.

To begin with, all our favorite art classes are back.

The spring schedule has our signature classes in clay with ceramics instructor Aria Finch which will begin again for a third quarter in early April and run through May. This will include three adult classes ranging from beginners on

up. Also included are two classes for children geared to first grade through eight years old and a class for teens. We welcome instructor Anna Edwards back as well in our outstanding clay studios.

Claudia’s experiment in expanding the RMAC’s popular art classes to music appreciation was a big hit this quarter. Our recent guitar class, String Theories in Guitar for Beginners with instructor Jonathon Gomez, was extremely popular. So, we now look forward to continue another adventure in music for both children and a new one for adults. This new approach to programming

is why all our classes are now filling up. Claudia is also considering an expansion to the art of dance for the summer quarter.

Other spring classes will include watercolor and printmaking. An added medium in landscape photography with noted instructor Bruce Gaucher will fill up fast. We also have a free and very ground-breaking Going Green one-day workshop class with Sheila Ortega.

In “Go Green for Spring” we vow to stop accumulating those pesky plastic shopping bags once and for all.

Each participant will decorate three reusable canvas shopping bags that will

last for years. We’ll have stations set up with fabric, paint, stencils, and an assortment of embellishments. “Go green in style!”

This class will be on April 25 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Our pilot program for families with autistic children was so well received that we hope to continue as we move into spring with “Arts for Autism.”

Our continuing family movie series will have two more favorites: Join us for our “Free Wednesdays Feature Film Series” on April 22 with Disney Nature: Oceans. Then on May 13 Disney’s original 1961 version 101 Dalmatians which is an unknown and undiscovered treasure for many of the younger generation.

Certainly, it is one I have not had the opportunity to see since I saw this movie premier as a small child with my mother.

This next quarter we will be offering something for adult film audiences as well with a number of programs in “The Art of Cin-

ematography.” Accompany the RMAC and Eastern New Mexico University Professor Dallas Pollei as he hosts two classic films and discusses each film along with how they display their own unique tone and more.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope will be shown on Saturday, May 9, and Orson Wells’ “Citizen Kane” on Saturday, May 16. The films will take place inside the Bassett Auditorium at 2 p.m. and will be free to the public.

Another exciting special event features Jeff Berg, a New Mexico film historian, who has put together a series of film clips made up of movies and television shows filmed in New Mexico. This exciting presentation comes to us on March 21 at the Roswell Museum and Art Center.

In this show, snippets will be shown starting with a fun 1942 piece starring Lucille Ball and continuing on until present day and will include two clips from films made near Roswell, with stops in Santa Fe (a

film starring Henry Fonda) and White Sands, and clips from other movies that star Errol Flynn, Kenny Rogers, Gene Autry and even Charlie Sheen. Jeff Berg is a Santa Fe-based film historian and freelance writer who has been touring the state with these shows since 2011. The presentation will last approximately 90 minutes. Our webpage is now updated on a daily basis, so stay tuned for other exciting programming updates and visit roswellmuseum.org for more. Also, please, consider an RMAC membership which will give you discounts to our paid classes as well as other benefits.

Seed size can affect growth rate in some plants Q. I have started tomato and chile plants inside my home. The seedlings have started growing, but after several weeks they are still very small. I planted them in a store-bought potting soil, keep them in a sunny window, and do not let them dry out. What can I do to make the plants grow more rapidly?

A. Seedlings of tomatoes and chiles tend to grow fairly slowly at first, especially when compared to beans or corn plants which have much larger seeds. The food for the growth of the new seedlings is contained in the seed and smaller seeds have less food. The varieties of tomato or chile plants may also determine their growth rate.

I have noticed that habanero chiles grow much more slowly than poblano and jalapeño chiles. In addition, these plants may grow more slowly than seedlings of lettuce or kale because they grow

and now has to ration food.

Business Insider reports: “The country is broke … in large part because oil prices are so low.” Both Venezuela and Iran have called “for OPEC’s cooperation in stabilizing oil prices,” but Saudi Arabia — OPECs biggest producing member — is maintaining its current output. Al-Badri is not stupid. He has held several high-ranking positions in his native Libya, starting in 1990 as Minister for Oil. He was appointed Secretary General for OPEC in 2007.

gizes you and what drags you down? What can you change to make yourself happier and feel better?

Even “little” things like quitting the spinning class you dread and signing up for tai chi instead can make a big difference.

Plan a fun evening out (no chocolate and roses necessary). Reach out to friends who are also flying solo on Valentine’s Day and make arrangements to meet for drinks, go ice skating, or enjoy a potluck meal. One caveat: Consciously choose to stay positive, not to wallow in bitterness.

Give yourself a break. Be a rebel. Take a look at your to-do list and cross something off of it even though you haven’t actually completed that task. (Gasp!)

Then do something nourishing instead. Get a massage, read a book, take a nap,—whatever! Just make sure you’re nurturing yourself.

rapidly at lower temperatures.

Another factor is that many seed-starting potting “soils” do not contain nutrients. Some are sold with slow release fertilizers in the mix, but others are just peat, vermiculite and perlite. It is important to begin feeding the seedlings with a diluted fertilizer solution after a couple of weeks.

This will enhance their growth significantly. The primary nutrient needed initially is nitrogen.

The ratio of nutrients on the fertilizer label lists the nitrogen first. Some gardeners prefer to use organic materials to supply nutrients. These may include

compost tea or manure tea or fish emulsion fertilizer. These are less likely to burn the plants than traditional mineral fertilizers, but it is more difficult to regulate their nutrients. If you use manure or compost tea, be sure there are no plant pathogens in the manure or compost. You can use frequent applications of very diluted fertilizer to keep nutrients available to the plants without burning the tender little seedlings.

I grow my seedlings on a heat mat maintained by a thermostat above 70 degrees for the first two to three weeks. I then transfer them to a sunny window that

receives at least four hours of sunlight each day. As they begin growing more rapidly, it becomes important to move them to larger containers if the seed starting containers are small. Larger containers encourage development of a larger and stronger root system that can supply more nutrients to the plants. You may notice a significant increase in growth of plants in larger containers compared to those remaining in smaller containers.

If you have access to a cold frame that can maintain temperatures above 40 degrees at night, you can move plants to large containers before you must plant them outside in your garden. They may even begin flowering and producing fruit before planting into the garden if the containers are large enough. By moving to larger containers you can resist the urge to plant early

future production losses that will result from the industry pulling back — which, as outlined above, are not likely to result in $200 oil.

Snyder believes al-Badri may be signaling something bigger: “The only way for prices to reach the level mentioned is for there to be a decline in available supply through a disruption in production or a break in the supply chain.”

Libya, al-Badri’s homeland, has the largest oil reserves in Africa. It, according to the WSJ, “helped trigger the worldwide rout in oil prices” when it “surprised the world with a sudden burst of new oil” last summer.

However, as Reuters points out: “Libya is in the middle

of a struggle between two governments and parliaments allied to armed factions fighting for legitimacy and territory.” In the WSJ, Richard Mallinson, an analyst at London-based consultancy Energy Aspects explains: “There was an implicit agreement between the different factions to avoid disrupting oil production. Now the parties have realized that controlling oil means power.” As a result of the fighting, “Libyan oil output has fallen to about 325,000 barrels a day in January from nearly 900,000 barrels a day in October.”

The situation in Libya is deteriorating and western oil companies are pulling out. Then, on Sun-

day, security guards at the last functioning export port, that used to export 120,000 barrels a day, went on strike because their salaries were not being paid — which closed the port and lowers Libya’s oil output to less than 300,000 barrels a day.

Snyder posits: “Maybe al-Badri is telling the world that, left unattended, the rapid increase in terrorist activity seen lately could be the only thing to lead to the $200 level in crude oil— which will have catastrophic results.”

With Jordan’s accelerated air strikes, and the United Arab Emirates rejoining the fight against ISIS, added to the already

Challenge yourself to be the voice of dissent. Saying what we really feel and being true to our opinions is a courageous act of selflove. This could be as simple as speaking up in a colleague’s defense at the water cooler, or telling your friends you don’t like the restaurant they’ve picked for dinner. So many of us fall into the trap of living our lives to please others while not making waves, and in the process, we become disconnected from our true selves.

Take yourself out on a date. After my second marriage ended, I made a special effort to discover life beyond being a wife. For me, a big part of that was exploring and enjoying the spectacular dining scene in Washington, D.C. Sounds simple, I know, but learning to enjoy a meal alone became a crucial survival tool that enabled me to reconnect with myself after a disappointing marriage.

Affirm a bright future. To help yourself stay focused on loving yourself, find a personal mantra and

remind yourself of it frequently. It might have to do with moving on, finding someone new, or personal development. Don’t discount the power of the words you tell yourself.

Positive or negative, they are powerful tools in focusing your intentions and shaping your attitude.

Clarify your vision of Mr. or Ms. Right. Is it possible that your past romances have failed because you’re looking for the wrong type of person? Are you hoping to find someone who mirrors your favorite movie character or someone who will solve all your problems? Do you tend to overlook flaws and incompatibilities when the other person is funny or flattering?

This year, stop daydreaming about what you want in a relationship and get real about what you need.

Remind yourself that Feb. 15 will be here soon.

No matter how much you focus on showing yourself love and boosting your mood, you may still feel the “Singles’ Awareness Day” blues—and that’s okay!

Nobody is immune to negative feelings, so when they hit, allow yourself to experience them for a few minutes. Then remind yourself that this too shall pass— and maybe turn the radio to a song that will make you smile and dance!

Even after experiencing infidelity and divorce, love is still the center of my existence on Valentine’s Day and throughout the year. My number-one goal and priority is to value, honor, and love myself.

I encourage you to do the same!

Starting your garden from seedlings indoors is challenging, but also fun. Just remember that constant moisture, adequate light, warm temperatures, and nutrient applications will give you the best plants when it comes time to put them in your garden.

troubled situation in Libya, a major supply disruption becomes extremely plausible.

Maybe al-Badri is right — though not for the reasons he outlined. Maybe he knows more than his simplistic explanation revealed.

If he is, if he does, the U.S. is going to need every drop of oil found within our borders, including the Arctic resources that President Obama just proposed be permanently put off limits.

With the current low oil prices, we can easily think that we have too much oil already — after all, last week’s sudden price drop came after the release of official data showing crude inventories at a 30-year high, and, if al-Badri is correct, America’s energy

abundance can provide us with energy security and global stability — not to mention the economic benefit of supplying our allies with oil and refined-petroleum products. Suddenly, the Keystone pipeline’s critical role becomes perfectly clear.

Regional Roundup County leads in percent of vaccine exemptions

Last year, 183 Taos County children ages 4-18, or 3.2 percent, were exempt from vaccination, according to data from the New Mexico Department of Health, giving the county the highest percentage of exemptions in the state.

New Mexico law allows children to be exempt from school or daycare vaccination requirements for medical or religious reasons.

Los Alamos and De Baca counties had the second-highest percentage of children exempted from vaccination, with 3.1 percent of children there exempt during 2014.

Santa Fe County had the third-highest percentage with 2.6 percent in 2014.

The number of exemptions issued statewide continued to rise last year, from 2,845 in 2012 to 3,335 in 2014, the Department of Health reported Feb. 2.

State health officials say that trend gives them cause for concern and has made New Mexico particularly vulnerable to an outbreak of measles that recently emerged in California, Arizona and other Southwestern states.

By the time a child enters Kindergarten in New Mexico, they are typically required to have at least some doses of the Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis vaccine, Polio vaccine, Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine and Varicella vaccine.

Clerk under fire for misconduct allegations

LORDSBURG — The New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office is investigating misconduct allegations against Hidalgo County Clerk Melissa DeLaGarza.

Issues addressed in the complaint include possible voter intimidation, voter and electoral fraud and an overall lack of ethics in the Hidalgo County Clerk’s Office.

In addition, the complaint alleges that two voters who voted on provision ballots later re-cast their votes, implying that the voter box was opened in order for this to happen.

The complaint, filed by Glenda Greene, a candidate for the Lordsburg school board, primarily alleges that DeLaGarza allows family member and school board candidate Alisandro Salinas Jr. to pick up absentee ballots. It further alleges that he takes them to non-immediate family members, some mentally disabled and elderly, has them sign the ballot and fills them out for them and returns them to the Hidalgo County Clerk’s Office, to be

placed into the voter box.

According to the Secretary of State’s website, “An unrelated third party may not deliver another voter’s absentee ballot.”

The website further points out that only immediate family members or caregivers can hand deliver an absentee ballot.

Ethics Division Manager Mandy Vigil, in a letter to DeLaGarza, demanded a written response to all aspects of the complaint be returned to her office by the close of business Feb. 2.

In the response, DeLaGarza vehemently denied all allegations against her office, claiming that all ballots have been handled according to the Election Code and are accounted for. She added that the two provisional ballots were removed from the ballot box, but not by her. She said her chief deputy, Roland Lassiter, is the only one with a key to the ballot box.

Salinas refused to comment on the allegations against him.

Officer ‘released’ from duty following allegations

GRANTS — Veteran police officer Sgt. Jessie Nieto was released of his duties Feb. 3, City Manager Laura Jaramillo confirmed on Feb. 6.

Nieto was allegedly involved in a reported Christmas Eve sexual criminal incident that included James Watters, a Milan Police officer who was fired on the Monday after the incident, and Jesse Terrazaz, a former uncertified courtroom security officer for the Cibola County Sheriff’s Office who was fired in 2011 for misconduct.

The victim, thus far identified as R.H., claims that she was sexually harassed

by Nieto, Watters and Terrazaz at Grants High School and NMSU Grants’ parking lots on Christmas Eve. Jaramillo would not provide any details in regard to Nieto being released of

his duties. She simply said, “I can verify that Jessie Nieto was released from his duties on Tuesday and I have no further comment.”

Watters and Terrazaz have already been indicted in District Court. Nieto has not been criminally charged.

According to reports, Watters, Nieto and Terrazaz picked up R.H. on the evening of Dec. 24 after Watters and Nieto had been already visiting with one another earlier in the day.

At Grants High School, the three guys began to sexually harass R.H. Watters and R.H. had been “sexting” since earlier in the day. The foursome were also drinking.

The harassing got to the point to where R.H. reportedly said out loud “this is rape.”

Concern surfaces over image on Google searches

CIBOLA COUNTY — Grants City Manager Laura Jaramillo is concerned about what turns up in search.

“There is concern about Google search results,” Jaramillo said at a Comprehensive Community Health Council meeting. “It seems that when someone does an Internet Google search for Grants, the first thing that comes up relates to crime.”

Several of those attending the Jan. 21 meeting expressed their thoughts about the negative effects that could result, which could dramatically affect physician recruitment and retention efforts.

Sherri Kachirisky, Future Foundations Family Center administrative director, responded that websites could be designed so that Google searches bring up links that reflect a more positive image of Cibola County. She pointed out that the City and the New Mexico State University-Grants and the Grants/ Cibola County Chamber of Commerce websites help attract visitors to the area.

SANTA FE — A bill with bipartisan support that seeks to enact criminal penalties for organizers and participants in coyote killing competitions is under consideration.

The legislation is among the reactions to a number of coyote hunting contests held statewide that award hunters who tally the most kills.

Animal Protection Voters of New Mexico is leading the push for the proposed ban. Phil Carter, the group’s Wildlife Campaign Manager, says the bills are specifically written to not interfere with people’s ability to protect their property, including livestock through “lethal control of coyotes.”

The Senate version of the bill is sponsored by Albuquerque Republican Mark Moores. His bill has cleared the Senate Conservation Committee and now moves on to the Senate Judiciary panel.

A companion bill in the State House has been introduced by Las Cruces Democrat Jeff Steinborn.

Search warrant in meth bust under scrutiny

SANTA ROSA — A defense attorney is asking a judge to suppress much of the key evidence in Santa Rosa’s biggest drug case of 2014, saying police had no valid warrant, nor “exigent circumstances,” to then enter a room where nearly a pound of methamphetamine soon was found.

Santa Rosa Police are contesting the claims and are preparing to defend their search at an upcoming court hearing. A ruling on the motion could help decide the remaining case, since the packages of meth are among the evidence at issue.

A Tennessee woman, Tracy L. Raney, has been in custody for more than four months, awaiting trial on a second-degree felony charge of trafficking a controlled substance in connection with nearly a pound of meth found Sept. 10, 2014, in a room where she was staying at the Budget Inn on Santa Rosa’s East Side.

Three other people also were arrested at the motel that day, charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, including Raney’s daughter, Deborah L. Doyle, 27, James W. Carroll III, 33, and Michael S. Warren, 43, all of Tennessee. By Halloween, Oct. 31, 2014, all three had entered guilty pleas, were sentenced to probation and were released.

SANTA ROSA — Santa Rosa is exploring ways to modify the Power Dam reconstruction plans in hopes of lowering the costs and making a revitalization of the area more feasible.

This week, a group of city officials, including Mayor Joseph Campos and Councilman Pat Cordova, met in Albuquerque with New Mexico Dam Safety Bureau Chief Charles Thompson to discuss a proposed change in the designs, from a gravity-flow, roller-compacted concrete structure to a less expensive sheet metal rammed structure.

According to Tim Dodge, who leads the city administration, the change could lower the costs by about half, from a projected $5 million to around $2.5 million, improving the chances that the city can acquire the funding to get the long-sought project moving more quickly.

But it all depends on an analysis of the geotechnical report, which must determine whether the sandstone structures underneath the dam can hold the metal foundation.

“We really need to look at the geotechnical report to see if there’s any validity to changing the type of dam structure,” Dodge said.

Plans to rebuild the dam, dredge the lake and restore the surrounding habitat have been on the books for years, with city officials past and present talking about the potential for creating a significant tourist draw for the “City of Natural Lakes.”

But the hefty price tag has kept progress at a snail’s pace.

Party leader charged with beating girlfriend

ESPANOLA — A Rio Arriba County Magistrate Court judge, with the help o f a N e w Mex ic o S ta te Police Officer, allowed a politically connected domestic violence suspect to bypass jail after being arrested on a domestic violence warrant.

The suspect is also accused of using his polit-

ical prowess to intimidate the victim.

Magistrate Court Judge Alexandra Naranjo released Democratic Party Chairman and Planning and Zoning Board member Pablo Manzanares on his own recognizance after an unidentified State Police officer arrested him on an arrest warrant resulting from an abuse allegation brought

by Manzanares’ live-in girlfriend, Elizabeth Graham. It is unclear if Manzanares turned himself in or if the State Police officer arrested him on unrelated charges.

The arrest warrant Naranjo issued on Jan. 15 charged Manzanares with one count of battery against a household member and one count of criminal damage to property of a household member and ordered him held on a $5,000 cash-only bond. The cash-only bond is a stark contrast to the $5,000 signature bond Manzanares signed.

According to the County’s Magistrate Court bail bond schedule, most people arrested for the same charges would pay approximately $800 or 20 percent of the $4,000 mandatory bond attached to the battery charge and $1,000 cash-only for the misdemeanor deprivation of property charge, for a total of about $1,800.

Rio Arriba County Detention Center Administrator Larry DeYapp confirmed an online jail records search that shows Manzanares never made it to jail. He said he searched the arrest records from Jan. 14 to 18 and nothing surfaced.

“New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame is widely recognized in the state and they do a great job. She had an amazing career here and I think it is another great honor that caps off a great career. I’ve talked to her on the phone and in person about this award. I know she is very happy and grateful about it. She is excited.”

Riddle will be honored at the 42nd annual New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame ceremony that will be held Sunday, March 1, at the Sandia Casino Resort, starting at 3:30 p.m.. To purchase tickets, visit www.nmshof.com. The tickets are $60 per person and the deadline to purchase is Feb. 20.

Being a New Mexico native, it means a lot.”

Riddle became UNM’s first three-time All-American volleyball player. She also eclipsed two-time

All-American and Olympian, Pauline Manser.

Riddle goes down as one of the most decorated players in the history of Lobo volleyball. In the 2014 season, she picked up countless non-conference tournament accolades, received the Mountain West weekly honor twice, and was a Sports Imports/AVCA National Player of the Week selection. She was named

to First Team All-Mountain West and for the third season, was an Honorable Mention All-Pacific South Region.

In the 2014 season, she became UNM’s all-time leader in kills with 1,623 and in points with 1,910.

She also became the Mountain West all-time leader in kills which was broken in her final match in a Lobo uniform, collecting 22 kills

in a three-set sweep of Air Force.

Riddle finished 2014 ranked first among the Mountain West in points with 4.67 per set and second in kills with 3.90 per set.

Greg Anthony reaches deal on prostitution charge WASHINGTON (AP) — Basketball analyst Greg Anthony will have a soliciting prostitution charge dropped if he does 32 hours of community service and stays out of trouble for four months.

Anthony, his attorney and a prosecutor told a D.C. Superior Court judge Wednesday that they had agreed to the deal, called a deferred prosecution agreement, which is common in low-level misdemeanor cases in the city. Anthony, 47, will be allowed to complete the community service hours in Florida, where he lives.

The former NBA player only spoke briefly in court to acknowledge he wanted to enter into the agreement and understood it. Both Anthony and his attorney, Danny Onorato, declined to comment after the hearing.

Anthony was arrested at a Washington hotel on Jan. 16 on a charge of soliciting prostitution. A court document describing the arrest says he responded to an escort ad authorities placed on a classifieds website Backpage.com and arranged “a date” with an undercover officer. When he met the undercover officer at a hotel room she told him she would charge him $80 for intercourse, the document says.

Celebrated Little League team stripped of championship

CHICAGO (AP) — A Little League team that captured the attention of the nation and the hearts of its hometown was stripped of its national title Wednesday after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified boundaries so they could add ineligible players to the roster.

Only last summer, the all-black Jackie Robinson West team was the toast of Chicago and was honored with trips to San Francisco and to the White House.

But the sport’s governing body, Little League International, announced that team officials had changed the boundaries that determine where players must live. And after learning that their scheme had been exposed, they scrambled to convince surrounding leagues to go along with what they had done.

“This is so heartbreaking,” said Stephen D. Keener, the Little League International president and CEO. “It is a sad day for a bunch of kids who we have come to really like ... who did nothing wrong.”

But “we cannot tolerate the actions of some of the adults involved here.”

The organization suspended the manager, Darold Butler, and suspended the team from Little League tournament play until the local league’s president and treasurer have been replaced. A district official who is believed to have helped change the boundaries was also removed.

In this Aug. 27, 2014, file photo, members of the Jackie Robinson West Little League baseball team participate in a rally in Chicago celebrating the team’s U.S. Little League Championship. Little League International has stripped Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West team of its national title after finding the team falsified its boundary map. The league made the announcement Wednesday morning, saying the Chicago team violated regulations by placing players on the team who didn’t qualify because they lived outside the team’s boundaries.

All of the team’s victories were thrown out, meaning that the wins will be awarded to other teams.

Mountain Ridge Little League, the team from Las Vegas that lost to Jackie Robinson West in the national championship game will be awarded the title.

Parents were angered by

the news, saying their children were being unfairly punished.

“The boys had no inside dealings ... about any borders, and I as a mother had no idea there were any (questions about) boundaries,” said Venisa Green, who was driving her son, Brandon, to school Wednesday when they were

“blindsided” by the news as it came over the radio.

“We weren’t involved in anything that could have caused us to be stripped of our championship,” said Brandon, appearing at a news conference with his mother.

Venisa Green said the move was especially disheartening because the

month he will give up fulltime driving at the end of 2015, and while he didn’t rule out racing a little in the future this will be his final appearance in the “Great American Race” that kicks off the season Feb. 22.

It will be the beginning of what will surely be a NASCAR season packed with tributes to Gordon, whose storied career includes pushing the sport into mainstream visibility.

Gordon does not want the focus to be on him every week for 38 races. He doesn’t want it to become a

sideshow.

“I am concerned about it.

The statements and comments and accolades have already been overwhelming,” he said. “But I want to race hard and be competitive and be focused at the race track. We’re trying to do all that we can to talk to the tracks and talk to NASCAR about how we can maintain that level of focus.”

Gordon has already offered to return to race tracks in 2016, when he’s out of the car, to help with any tributes.

“I’m not going anywhere.

I’m going to be here,” he said. “And it only makes sense for me to commit to the fans and the sport for all its given to me, and I can’t do that when I’m trying to be focused on the track.”

Gordon has all the ingredients to top last season, which saw him come oh-soclose to a fifth championship. He won four races and was one of the strongest drivers all year, but a sequence of events in the third segment of NASCAR’s new elimination-round playoffs knocked him out of title contention.

team was part of efforts to keep children safe and prepare them for college in a community better known for gangs and drugs than any kind of achievement.

“What would you have us do, Little League, for them to be killed on the streets of Chicago?” she asked.

She wondered if the fact that the players were black

had any role in the ruling, something that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and others questioned as well.

“Is this about boundaries or race?” Jackson asked.

Jackson did not discuss whether he blamed any league officials for what had happened, but in Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest suggested that it was the adults who let down the boys.

“The fact is, you know, some dirty dealing by some adults doesn’t take anything away from the accomplishments of those young men,” he said.

It was a stunning end to a story that began last summer as the team marched through the Little League tournament.

Their odyssey ended with a loss to South Korea in the world championship game in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

For days, Chicago was enthralled by the story, in large part because the team was from the city’s South Side, an area beyond the city limits that has become almost synonymous with crime and gun violence. They were part of one of the most heartwarming World Series in Little League history, with the country rooting for Jackie Robinson West and a team from Philadelphia that had Mo’ne Davis, a star pitcher who was the first girl to appear in the series for a U.S. team since 2004.

NASCAR PREVIEW: All eyes on Jeff Gordon finale

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Through driver changes, network shuffles, a new championship format and NASCAR’s push to reinvent itself, the one constant for more than two decades has been Jeff Gordon behind the wheel every week of the iconic No. 24.

Well, it’s time to buckle up for what’s going to be Gordon’s final ride.

AP Source: George Karl to coach Kings after All-Star break

The Sacramento Kings and George Karl have agreed to the framework of a deal for him to take over as coach, a person familiar with the negotiations said Wednesday.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private. The plan is for Karl to coach the Kings in their first game following the AllStar break Feb. 20 at home against Boston, meaning Tyrone Corbin will be coaching his final game for Sacramento on Wednesday night at Milwaukee.

Karl is attending funeral services for former North Carolina coach Dean Smith this week. The Kings are expected to announce the deal in the coming days after final terms have been agreed upon and the contract has been signed.

Karl will be Sacramento’s third coach this season.

The Kings (18-33) made the surprising move to fire Michael Malone in December after an 11-13 start in his second season as coach, even though they had shown progress until All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins was sidelined for an extended period with viral meningitis. Sacramento slid even further after promoting Corbin from lead assistant, losing 12 of its last 14 games and 20 of 27 overall since Malone’s dismissal.

Karl is a proven winner in the league and a familiar face for Sacramento’s front office.

Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro and assistant general manager Mike Bratz are among those who worked with him in Denver, and team adviser Chris Mullin played for Karl with the Golden State Warriors from 1986-88.

Karl last coached in the 2012-13 season, when he won NBA Coach of the Year with the Nuggets before being fired following a firstround playoff loss to the Warriors. D’Alessandro left Denver that summer and brought Bratz with him to Sacramento.

The Nuggets made the postseason all nine years under Karl. They advanced past the first round only once during his tenure,

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the discussions were private. losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2009 Western Conference finals.

Karl, who has been working as an analyst for ESPN, has let it be known the last two months that he wants another shot on the sidelines. He has openly talked about his interest and recently thanked fans in Sacramento and Orlando — which fired coach Jacque Vaughn last week — for their support on Twitter.

The 63-year-old Karl, a cancer survivor, is one of nine coaches in league history to eclipse 1,000 wins.

He has 1,131 victories as a head coach, with stops in Cleveland, Golden State, Seattle and Milwaukee, earning a reputation for turning around teams.

Sacramento certainly presents another one of those challenges.

The Kings are headed for a ninth straight losing season and are trying to rebuild around Cousins, who has a history of clashing with coaches but was close with Malone. Cousins clearly doesn’t like being dragged into the situation,

though, venting his frustration to reporters after hitting the game-winning shot against Phoenix on Sunday night and releasing a statement through his agents at Relativity Sports to several media outlets Tuesday.

“I wasn’t consulted when the decision was made to fire Mike Malone and I’m not being consulted now,” Cousins said in the statement. “I just hope they make a decision soon and stick with it. George Karl is an experienced, proven coach and if that is who they chose to coach this team, I will support it. I do not like all these discussions in the media while we have a coach in place. It is a distraction and not fair to Coach Corbin and this team.”

Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, Mullin and D’Alessandro had discussed Karl’s candidacy since December.

They’d also weighed whether to conduct a lengthier search in the offseason when more coaches might be available and have the benefit of training camp to prepare.

James Shields and Padres finalize $75 million deal

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Right-hander James Shields finalized his $75 million, four-year contract with the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, the biggest free agent deal in club history.

Shields was to be introduced Wednesday at a news conference at Petco Park.

Shields helped Kansas City reach the World Series last season but declined a $15.3 million qualifying offer from the Royals.

He’s the latest addition by first-year general manager A.J. Preller, who in December acquired sluggers Matt Kemp, Justin Upton and Wil Myers, as well as Derek Norris and Will Middlebrooks.

The $75 million for Shields matches the $75 million the Padres owe Kemp during the next five years as the biggest outlay to one player in team history. The Dodgers will pay $32 million of the remaining $107 million on Kemp’s contract.

Before the Kemp trade and Shields signing, the previous-biggest deal in Padres history was the $52 million, three-year extension they gave Jake Peavy after he won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award. The Padres never paid a penny of that deal, however,

Right-hander James Shields, who helped Kansas City reach the World Series last season, has agreed to a four-year contract with the San Diego Padres. because Peavy was traded to the Chicago White Sox in July 2009, a season before the extension kicked in.

Shields projects to lead a rotation that also includes Tyson Ross, Andrew Cashner and Ian Kennedy. Several players will compete for the No. 5 spot during spring training.

The deal includes an option for 2019.

Shields was traded from Tampa Bay to Kansas City two years ago in a deal in which Myers, then the Royals’ top prospect, was acquired by the Rays.

An All-Star in 2011,

Shields is 114-90 with a 3.72 ERA in nine seasons.

Shields was 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA last season.

He lost both of his World Series starts against San Francisco, outdueled each time by Madison Bumgarner.

By signing Shields, the Padres lose their firstround pick, 13th overall, in June’s amateur draft. The Royals get an extra pick after the first round.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Padres designated right-handed pitcher Aaron Northcraft for assignment.

Helmet cams, sideline computers coming soon to college football

College football is embracing technology.

The NCAA football rules committee wants to experiment with helmet cameras, wireless communication between coaches and players on the field and the use of computers on the sideline as coaching tools.

The committee announced Wednesday after two days of meetings in Indianapolis that it was hoping to gather data about expanding the use of technology in college football with an eye toward implementing rules as soon as the 2016 season.

“We’d like to get that rolling go forward,” said Air Force coach Troy Calhoun,

who serves as the committee chairman. “Is that too ambitious? Is that too optimistic? I don’t know. I think that’s quite feasible.”

The NCAA says several conferences proposed experimenting with these rules and Calhoun suggested the technology be used in five or six December bowl games during the 2015 season.

The helmet cameras would likely be placed on quarterbacks and used to allow coaches to see what the player is seeing on the field. While the committee wants the cameras for coaching, Calhoun acknowledged they could become part of a television

broadcast in the future.

“If it can go forward for more media use in a way maybe even for television to piggyback on it, hopefully that’s even more beneficial going down the road,” he said.

Wireless devices in helmets that allow coaches to give directions or play calls to quarterbacks and one defensive player are used in the NFL. Communication is allowed only between plays and cut off when the play clock reaches 15 seconds.

Calhoun said he’d like to have a similar rule in college football.

Son: Former UNLV coach Tarkanian dies in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — He couldn’t stop fighting the NCAA any more than he could give up chewing towels courtside. Jerry Tarkanian built a basketball dynasty in the desert, but it was his decades-long battle with the NCAA that defined him far more than the wins and losses.

The coach who won a national title at UNLV and made the school synonymous with basketball died Wednesday after several years of health issues. He was 84.

Son Danny Tarkanian said his father battled an infection since he was hospitalized Monday in Las Vegas with breathing difficulty.

“He fought and fought and fought,” Danny Tarkanian told The Associated Press.

Tarkanian put the run in the Runnin’ Rebels, taking them to four Final Fours and winning a national championship in 1990 with one of the most dominant college teams ever.

His teams were as flamboyant as the city, with light shows and fireworks for pregame introductions and celebrities jockeying for position on the so-called Gucci Row courtside.

He ended up beating the NCAA, too, collecting a $2.5 million settlement after suing the organization for trying to run him out of college basketball. But he was bitter to the end about the way the NCAA treated him while coaching, and carried the grudge the rest of his life.

“They’ve been my tormentors my whole life,” Tarkanian said at his retirement news conference in 2002. “It will never stop.”

The night before he died, fans attending UNLV’s game against Fresno State draped towels over the statue of Tarkanian outside the campus arena. Tarkanian is depicted in the statue chewing on a towel while sitting in a courtside chair urging his team on.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a longtime family friend, said Tarkanian’s legacy was far more

widespread than just in Las Vegas, where he made UNLV a national power and was a bigger star than anyone playing on the Las Vegas Strip.

“Jerry’s mark on American athletics is significant not only because of his coaching ability, but also his fearlessness in taking on the brutal NCAA,” Reid said. “They controlled, bullied and tried to embarrass him, but he never stopped fighting until they cried uncle.”

Tarkanian was an innovator who preached defense yet loved to watch his teams run. And run they did, beginning with his first Final Four team in 1976-77, which scored more than 100 points in 23 games in an era before both the shot clock and the 3-point shot.

He was a winner in a city built on losers, putting a small commuter school on the national sporting map and making UNLV sweatshirts a hot item around the country. His teams helped revolutionize the way the college game was played, with relentless defense forcing turnovers that were quickly converted into baskets at the other end.

He recruited players other coaches often wouldn’t touch, building teams with junior college transfers and kids from checkered backgrounds.

His teams at UNLV were national powerhouses almost every year, yet Tarkanian never seemed to get his due when the discussion turned to the all-time coaching greats.

That changed in 2013 when Tarkanian was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, an honor his fellow coaches argued for years was long overdue.

Though hospitalized in the summer for heart problems and weakened by a variety of ills, he went on stage with a walker at the induction ceremony.

“I knew right from day one I wanted to be a coach,” Tarkanian said.

“Coaching has been my entire life.”

In this March 16, 1986, file photo, UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian raises his arm in victory after his team defeated Maryland 70-64 in the second round of NCAA college basketball tournament Western regional in Long Beach, Calif. Hall of Fame coach Jerry Tarkanian, who built a basketball dynasty at UNLV but was defined more by his decades-long battle with the NCAA, died Wednesday in Las Vegas after several years of health issues. He was 84.

Tarkanian’s career spanned 31 years with three Division I schools, beginning at Long Beach State and ending at Fresno State, where Tarkanian himself played in 1954 and 1955. Only twice did his teams fail to win at least 20 games in a season.

But it was at UNLV where his reputation was made, both as a coach of teams that often scored in the triple digits and as an outlaw not afraid to stand up to the powerful NCAA. He went 509-105 in 19 seasons with the Runnin’ Rebels before finally being forced out by the university after a picture was published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal showing some of his players in a hot tub with a convicted game fixer.

UNLV was already on

probation at the time, just two years after winning the national title and a year after the Runnin’ Rebels went undefeated into the Final Four before being upset in the semifinals by the same Duke team they beat by 30 points for the championship the year before. Even after losing four of his starters off that team and being on probation, Tarkanian went 26-2 in his final year at UNLV. Tarkanian’s style evolved as he was able to recruit better players, and the Rebels were all about running and shooting. But the core of his high flying offenses was great defense, and Tarkanian drilled them constantly in practice to commit to nonstop pressure and create turnovers.

“Everything had to be full speed intense,” he once

Woods says he’ll return to PGA Tour action when his game is ready

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.

(AP) — Tiger Woods said Wednesday his game is “not acceptable” to compete in tournaments and he will return when he thinks it is.

Hopeful of having injuries behind him, Woods made a horrific start to the new year. He shot a career-high 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open to miss the cut by 12 shots. And then he withdrew after 11 holes of ordinary golf at Torrey Pines because of tightness in his back from a fog delay.

Woods said on his website the last two weeks have been disappointing, especially at Torrey Pines, where he is an eighttime winner. He said he never wants to withdraw, but recent injuries have allowed that to happen too often.

Woods said his latest injury was not related to the back surgery he had last spring, and that he is feeling better every day with physical therapy.

“Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time with the people that are important to me,” Woods said. “My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like I’ve said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I’m ready, I’ll be back.”

Woods is not playing Pebble Beach or Riviera, and said he would practice next week at his home and

He said he wants to play the Honda Classic, which starts Feb. 26, but he won’t be there unless his game is tournament ready.

“That’s not fair to anyone,” Woods said. “I do, however, expect to be playing again very soon.”

Ernie Els, who has known Woods longer than any other active PGA Tour player, heard about his woes while playing in Dubai and later saw highlights.

“As competitive as we are, we don’t want to see anyone suffer like that,” said Els, who has finished

second to Woods more than any other player.

“We’ve got to do our stuff in public. I don’t care if you’re Tiger Woods, Ernie Els or whoever. If you have some error in your game, you get exposed.”

Woods, the winner of 79 PGA Tour events and 14 majors, has never looked this bad on the golf course.

He had back surgery to relieve a pinched nerve a week before the Masters and missed three months (including the first two majors), and then he took four months off at the end of last year to regain strength and get his back fully healed.

He also hired a new

swing consultant and embarked on the fifth swing change of his career.

His chipping was shockingly bad at the 18-man Hero World Challenge at Isleworth in December, when he tied for last. His chipping looked even worse at the Phoenix Open, a collection of shots that he either flubbed short or bladed across the green.

Woods is at No. 62 in the world, his worst ranking since before he won his first PGA Tour event in 1996. He is not eligible for the World Golf Championship at Doral.

“I am committed to getting back to the pinnacle of my game,” Woods said.

said. “A lot of coaches want guys to be loose for games.

I never wanted them to be loose. I wanted their hands sweating, their knees shaking, their eyes bulging. I wanted them to act like we were going to war.”

That was also the way Tarkanian approached his dealings with the NCAA. His program at Long Beach State was put on probation after he left for UNLV and it wasn’t long before UNLV was also on probation and the NCAA was demanding Tarkanian be suspended for two years. But he sued to overturn the penalty and remained as head coach, though NCAA investigators became a common sight in Las Vegas over the years.

Tarkanian liked to tell the story about the time one of his assistants saw an NCAA investigator renting a car at the airport and followed him to a local strip club. Tarkanian got some brochures for the club and mailed them to the investigator, telling him there was a special going on.

“The one thing I’ve done is I’ve fought them the whole way, I’ve never backed down,” he said.

“And they never stopped.”

The sad-eyed Tarkanian was born to Armenian immigrants Aug. 8, 1930, in Euclid, Ohio, and attended Pasadena City College before transferring to Fresno State, where he graduated in 1955. He coached high school basketball in Southern California before being hired at Riverside City College, where he spent five years before moving on to Pasadena City College.

He was hired at Long Beach State in 1968 and went 23-3 in his first year, then led the school to four straight NCAA tournament appearances, including the 1971 West Regional final, where Long Beach led UCLA by 12 points at halftime only to lose by two.

While at Long Beach he got into his first dispute with the NCAA, writing a newspaper column that questioned why the organization investigated Western Kentucky and not a powerful

university like Kentucky.

Never shy about challenging the NCAA, Tarkanian once famously said: “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it’s going to give Cleveland State two more years’ probation.”

By the time he moved to Las Vegas in 1973, Tarkanian was considered one of the rising coaching stars in the country. He quickly built a name for what was then a small school and by his fourth season at UNLV he had the Runnin’ Rebels in the Final Four, where they lost 84-83 to North Carolina. It would be another decade before UNLV made the Final Four again, and the Runnin’ Rebels were in three in five years, including the national championship season of 1990.

In the final that year, UNLV used its pressure defense to blow out Duke 103-73 in one of the most dominant performances in championship game history.

It all happened with Tarkanian on his chair courtside, chewing on a moist towel that was always left carefully folded underneath his seat. The towel chewing, Tarkanian would later say, was something he started doing during long practices when he could not stop to go to a drinking fountain.

After being forced out at UNLV, Tarkanian briefly coached in the NBA, going 9-11 with the San Antonio Spurs before being fired in a dispute with ownership.

He would later return to Fresno State, where he had six straight 20-win seasons before finally retiring in 2002.

Tarkanian was a fixture at UNLV games in his later years, watching from a sideline seat next to the court that was named after him.

Tarkanian is survived by his wife, Lois, a Las Vegas city councilwoman, and four children, including Danny Tarkanian, who played point guard for his father for three years in the early 1980s.

Technology

Computers on the sideline and coaching booths would allow players and coaches to review still photos and video.

“Any ways that we can improve communication,” Calhoun said.

“This far into the 21st century to have the technology that we know is available, we want to make sure it’s molded in way which is very helpful in college football without creating a huge imbalance when it’s time to go compete.”

The committee also passed a proposal to adjust the ineligible man downfield rule from 3 yards to 1 yard past the line of scrimmage. In recent seasons defensive coaches have become exasperated with offenses that push the envelope with option plays that make it difficult for defenders to decipher whether a team is running or passing the ball.

“It’s going to be easier to officiate,” NCAA coordinator of officials Rogers Redding said.

“It was really beginning to be difficult to sort of look whether the player

was at 3 yards and see whether the ball had been released or not. It was felt that this is a more fair way to adjudicate the rule.”

Several FBS conferences have been using eight-person officiating crews over the past two seasons on an experimental basis. Now eight-person crews will be permissible for all conferences, though not mandatory.

Some of the other proposals supported by the committee, which need approval by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel when it meets on March 5: —A 15-yard unsportsmanlike foul will be called on players who push or pull opponents off piles — for example, following fumbles.

—Officials are to treat illegal equipment issues — such as jerseys tucked under the shoulder pads and writing on eye black — by making the player leave the field for one play. The player may remain in the game if his team takes a timeout to correct the equipment.

challenges SpaceX launches observatory Boehner Senate Democrats to ‘get on 3rd try, nixes landing test off their ass’ and pass bill

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX launched an observatory inspired by former Vice President Al Gore toward a solar-storm lookout point a million miles away Wednesday.

The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on the third try in four days, successfully hoisting the spacecraft for NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Air Force.

Gore — who dreamed up the idea for an environmentally conscious, Earth-gazing satellite 17 years ago — returned for the sunset launch. He was at the previous two attempts as well, eager to see his brainchild finally soar. Besides watching for solar outbursts, the observatory will provide continuous pictures of the full, sunlit side of Earth.

It “will give us a wonderful opportunity to see the beauty and fragility of our planet,” Gore said in a statement. He said he was grateful to all the scientists and others who saw the mission to completion.

Unlike Tuesday, the wind stayed within safety limits and everything else went SpaceX’s way — at least for launch.

But rough seas forced the company to cancel its effort to land the leftover booster on an ocean platform.

Waves towering three stories high crashed over t h e l a n d i n g - z o n e p l a tform floating 370 miles off the Florida coast. Making matters worse, one of four engines needed to keep the platform steady was not working.

With three hours remaining in the countdown, SpaceX called off the radical landing test of the first-stage booster. It would have been just the second such experiment; last month’s try ended in flames when the booster slammed into the platform, fell over and exploded.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner challenged Senate Democrats Wednesday to “get off their ass” and pass a bill to fund the Homeland Security Department and restrict President Barack Obama’s executive moves on immigration.

His comments seemed unlikely to change Senate Democrats’ behavior. But they underscored a worsening stalemate on Capitol Hill with funding for the Homeland Security Department set to expire Feb. 27.

A day earlier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared the Senate “stuck” on the issue and said the next move was in the House’s court.

Boehner rejected that, insisting the House has already done its job. He said Senate Democrats are at fault for blocking a House-passed bill that funds the department through the remainder of the budget year while also overturning Obama’s policies limiting deportations for millions here illegally. Democrats oppose the immigration language.

“The House has done its job, why don’t you go ask the Senate Democrats when they’re going to get off their ass and do something other than to vote no?” Boehner told reporters after meeting with GOP lawmakers.

“The issue here is not Senate Republicans. The issue here is Senate Democrats.”

In response, a spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid chided Boehner that “cursing is not going to resolve the squabbling among Republicans that led to this impasse.”

“Democrats have been clear from day one about the way out of this mess: take up the clean Homeland Security funding bill which Republicans signed off on in December — and which is ready to come to the Senate floor — pass it, and move on,” said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson.

It’s not clear how the impasse will be resolved since Republican leaders in both chambers insist they have no plans for further action. But not all GOP lawmakers are comfortable with that strategy.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., said Wednesday that the Senate should take up a “clean” homeland security spending bill.

“I would think we ought to strip the bill of extraneous issues ... and make it just about homeland security,” said Kirk, who is up for re-election in 2016 in a Democratic-leaning state with a large Latino population. He said Americans are concerned about security, especially after the recent terror attacks in Paris, and so “the way to go forward is just fund DHS.”

Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Mason,” and I have been married for 10 years.

We have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter and have just found out we are having another girl. The day we learned her gender, Mason dropped a bomb on me. He said he’s not in love with me anymore, and it has been eating at him for a while. He said he was too scared to tell me sooner.

He won’t talk to anyone and doesn’t seem to want to fix it. We both came from broken homes and had always agreed not to do that to our kids. But I can’t act like everything is normal under the same roof.

He says he’ll stay at his brother’s place at night after our daughter goes to sleep. He’s at work before she’s up for school anyway.

We agreed that if she wakes up at night and calls out for him, I should tell her he got “called in to work.” Please give me some advice.

BROKEN IN NEVADA DEAR BROKEN: By the age of 7, your daughter is old enough to recognize tension between her parents. She is also aware enough to comprehend that her father is no longer living there if he’s spending his nights elsewhere, particularly if he intends to carry on this charade for any length of time.

You say your husband “won’t talk to anyone,” but he owes YOU some straight answers. If he hasn’t been in love with you “for a while,” he shouldn’t have fathered a second child with you.

Would his feelings be different if the baby you’re carrying was a boy? Could there be another woman involved? Your husband owes it to you and those children to act responsibly and at least try

Comics to save his marriage. Running away is not the answer.

In the meantime, my advice is to talk to a lawyer and take your cues from her or him about protecting yourself and your children financially. Doing so does not mean you “must” file divorce papers, but you will have someone who isn’t emotionally involved looking out for your interests.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: What should a single, straight woman do if she is attracted to and interested in a man she is “pretty sure” is gay? What should she do in the same situation if he is openly gay? Should she ignore her feelings? Tell him?

ATTRACTED TO HIM IN WASHINGTON DEAR ATTRACTED: If the woman tells her gay friend how she feels, he may be flattered, or it may make him uncomfortable. That’s the risk she takes. As to whether she should ignore her feelings, if she wants a romantic partner who can recip-

Thursday, February 12, 2015

rocate her physical attraction, she will have to concentrate on finding someone who is straight. Trust me on that.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine, “Fran,” died nine years ago. Prior to her death, I had little interaction with her husband, “Dexter.” As a matter of fact, when I met Fran, she was divorced, but she and Dexter re-united.

Dexter and I are now in love and are planning to marry. He is 66 and I am 61. A lot of people feel it is wrong for us to be together.

Your thoughts, please?

GOING FOR HAPPINESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GOING: “A lot of people” are unhappy in their lives and judgmental.

They sometimes poke their noses into matters that are none of their business. If you and Dexter want to be happy, avoid the naysayers as if they have a virus - because the kind of ill will they spread is contagious.

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Responses to Carolyn in Houston’s letter regarding GUEST BEDROOMS cluttered with pictures and knickknacks flooded my email!

Carolyn had no place to put her suitcase, cosmetics and hair dryer, and there was no room to hang her belongings when she stayed at her friend’s house. I responded that she really should not complain.

You all made valid points on both sides of the issue. Ellen agreed with me: She is a guest and should make do with what is offered. George and Jean said that the family pictures can be used as a conversation starter, and reminded us that Carolyn was in a private home and not in a hotel. Marguerite said to keep in mind that guest rooms also may serve another purpose, and Liz even called Carolyn ungrateful.

However, lots of readers understood Carolyn’s frustration. Another Carolyn wrote that the clutter in guest rooms is annoying. It looks pretty, but is not very functional.

Linda stated that she used to own a bed and breakfast, and one of the first things owners were told to do is spend a night in each of the rooms, pretending to be a guest, to see where the rooms can be made more comfortable. Is there adequate counter/flat surfaces? Is there a luggage rack so that suitcases don’t have to be on the floor? Are there hangers for clothes and a place to hang them? If homeowners would do the same thing in their guest rooms, it would make for a more comfortable experience for their guests.

Tina agreed with Linda. Hosts should spend a night as guests in their own house to truly understand the conditions in the guest bedroom and bathroom.

The consensus was that guests should not complain, but the hosts should consider how they would like to be treated if they were guests.

Hey, it’s a free night or two, so why complain? Thanks for all the feedback!

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: My central vacuum hose was clogged and had almost no suction.

My husband thought water power would clear it. He took it to a carwash and sprayed water into the hose. It washed out a big wad of stuff. I hung it up to dry. It has better suction now than it has had for years!

I’ve been reading your column for years. Keep up the great work!

A Reader, via email Dear Heloise: If you are getting ready for a party and find that you’re one tray short, not to worry. You have a backup tray in your kitchen, hiding in plain sight. It’s the glass turntable in your microwave oven!

James R., Massillon, Ohio Dear Heloise: Most of the family has white socks; I collect them in a large lingerie bag and wash and dry them.

No more orphaned socks! The same can be done with colored or small children’s socks.

911 calls in Bruce Jenner traffic accident released THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Authorities on Wednesday released a 911 call about a deadly accident involving Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner but it shed no light on what caused the fourcar pileup in Malibu.

In a brief recording released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, a woman who reported the crash Saturday on the Pacific Coast Highway said she had just driven past the accident.

“Are there any injuries?” an emergency dispatcher asks.

“I’m going to say yes, it looks pretty bad,” the woman says.

She indicates that a baby was among passengers at the scene and adds: “One car is destroyed.”

Jenner was driving a black Cadillac Escalade when he rear-ended a Lexus sedan that investigators say had already hit a Toyota Prius.

Robert Simon, an attorney for the Prius driver, said that Jenner’s SUV also struck the Prius, which had stopped in traffic.

Simon also told the Los Ange-

les Times that his client, Jessica Steindorff, 29, did not realize she was driving with a suspended license. Records indicate it was suspended in 2013.

Simon said it was suspended without her knowledge after she failed to appear in court for a speeding ticket.

After it was hit by Jenner’s Cadillac, the Lexus veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a black Hummer.

The driver of the Lexus — Kim Howe, 69, of Calabasas — died at the scene.

Califor nia Department of Motor Vehicle records showed Howe’s license had expired in 2007.

Investigators have sought the cellphone records of the drivers involved to determine whether they might have been distracted.

A publicist, Alan Nierob, has said that Jenner wasn’t texting while driving and will provide his cellphone records.

Jenner passed a field sobriety test and voluntarily submitted a blood sample to deter mine whether he was intoxicated.

Asked Monday about the test-

found evidence of intoxication.

Jenner won a gold medal in the men’s decathlon at the

1976 Summer Games, but he is known to a younger generation as Kim Kardashian’s stepfather.

Comedy Central has ‘short list’ for Jon Stewart replacement

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedy Central is mulling a “short list” of replacements for “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, a decision that could affect how much influence the show has on the 2016 presidential campaign.

Also at issue: Whether Stewart, an executive producer for “Daily Show” as well as host, retains some role with the show that has helped shape attitudes toward politics and media and given campaigns an appealing forum to reach potential voters, especially

younger ones.

“TBD,” said Doug Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group, using the shorthand for “to be determined,” when asked if Stewart would keep a hand in.

“It’s not out of the question,” Herzog added.

Stewart, 52, announced Tuesday that he will leave the host’s job this year, a move that had been was closely held by him and the channel. The timing of his exit has yet to be determined, and Stewart did not say what he plans to do afterward.
