NTSB: Track switcher was aligned, locked to side track

By Jared Tucker Multimedia Journalist New details have emerged about the train crash near Midway on Tuesday that killed a railroad employee from Texico and injured a second after investigators said they jumped from their locomotive just before it collided with a parked train headon. The main track was aligned and locked into position of the side track, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

According to NTSB spokesman Earl Weener at a news conference Wednes-

Conductor of parked train would have key, investigators say

day, investigators have downloaded and reviewed event recorder data from the moving train. The event recorder, similar to an aircraft “black box,” records 65 parameters of data such as speed, horn operation, pre-trip brake tests and throttle information.

“The throttle was dropped to idle approximately 32 seconds prior to impact. The train reached a peak speed of 42 miles per hour at that time,” Weener

said. “The engineer put the train into emergency braking approximately 18 seconds and 827 feet from the impact point.”

Weener said the train, which was traveling south, collided with the second train at 31 mph. The allowable maximum speed on that portion of the track is 49 mph, he said.

Jesse Coburn III, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Office of the Medical Investigator, according to police in pre-

vious statements, and a second, unnamed employee was airlifted to a Lubbock, Texas, hospital. That employee is in stable condition.

Weener said the track switcher, which is manually operated, was aligned with the side track and locked with a padlock.

When asked if the person parking a train on the side track would have the key, Wenner replied, “That would be the person who has the key, yes.”

Weener said a crew jumping from a train before a crash is not uncommon.

“The irony is, of course, that the survival space in

the lead locomotive was very much in tact. So had they stayed aboard the locomotive they would have very likely survived the accident,” Wenner said.

The train, operated by Southwestern Railroad, had been traveling for 52 minutes and covered a distance of 15 miles from its last stop while en route from Clovis to Carlsbad, Weener said.

Southwestern Railroad is among the parties to the investigation, and spokesman Chad Carswell declined to comment on Weener’s statements.

Hot air balloons to take over Alien City this weekend Staff Report There’s nothing quite like looking up into a clear blue morning sky and seeing dozens of hot air balloons drifting on a gentle breeze. Even more exciting is actually getting to ride in one.

This Saturday and Sunday, Roswell Toyota will present the 28th annual Old Timers Balloon Rally.

Around 70 balloons, pilots and crews are coming to Roswell from throughout the Southwest and Midwest.

Inflation of the balloons will be at the Cielo Grande Recreation Area, located in the 2000 block of West College on the northwest side of the soccer fields, around 6:30 a.m. both days. And for some lucky kids, several balloons will be inflating and taking off from some local schools around 7 a.m. Friday.

Spectators are encouraged to see these beautiful balloons and visit with the pilots, crews and sponsors. And don’t forget to bring a camera. Unless you forget to take the lens cap off, it’s almost impos-

sible to not get good photos.

Admission to the morning launches is free. But if you do want to support the cause, commemorative T-shirts and commemorative Old Timers Rally Pins will be on sale. Parking is available throughout the Cielo Grande Recreation Area.

Local high schools will be selling breakfast burritos, donuts, coffee and hot chocolate.

Volunteers are needed to help with the balloons.

If you would like to participate in a balloon crew, call Andrea Regalado at 317-0767.

Proceeds from the Old Timers Balloon Rally benefit local charities in the City of Roswell.

For more information, contact Mike Holstun 420-6326 or mholstun@ kagnm.com, or Stacie Carroll at 910-2219 or Staciec104@yahoo.com.

Roswell ‘ambassador’ McPherson dies at 93

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

Perhaps the biggest supporter of the International Law Enforcement Academy-Roswell, also known for his ownership of an iconic Roswell store, died recently.

Leslie “Les” A. McPherson, a mainstay at ILEA-Roswell receptions and graduation ceremonies, died at his Roswell home Saturday at the age of 93.

Born in La Donia, Missouri, McPherson grew up in Texas before moving to Roswell in 1937. While working at Packway Grocery Store, he met his future wife, Ruth Cobean, with whom he owned Cobean Stationery Co. until the store closed in 2011.

Corrections An article in Wednesday’s edition about the sentencing of Christopher M. Trujillo should have said Trujillo’s attorney, Jesse Cosby, is a private attorney. Cosby, who is sometimes a contracted public defender, clarified Wednesday the shooting of Victor Oaxaca Jr. outside Variety Liquor and Lounge was not caught on surveillance video. Cosby said the men were video recorded

inside the bar.

A story in Wednesday’s paper incorrectly identified Andrea Stapp in a story about 4-H. Tuesday’s police blotter should have stated that Hilario Valentine Nayola was arrested for possession of a prohibited controlled or counterfeit substance.

There was no charge of distribution.

embodied the classic American mom-and-pop shop.

“Due to his background with small business and owning Cobean for so many years, he was so successful in that,” Faubus McCarty said.

“It was kind of the place that everybody went to for office supplies for so many years. It was an a family-owned business and exactly what small business is all about.”

After serving in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific Theater of World War II, McPherson returned to Roswell and worked at Cobean Stationery Co. Former Roswell Mayor Bill Owen said the store was an anchor in the Roswell business community.

The four men, three of Artesia and one of Roswell, were employees of the former Winchester Dairy LLC. Cesar Morales-Iniguez, 20, of Roswell, was charged Monday with three counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals. The alleged offenses took place Aug. 25, 27 and 28, according to court records.

Jesus Espinoza, 47, of Artesia, was charged Monday with one count of misdemeanor cruelty to animals. The alleged offense took place Aug. 19, according to court records.

Luis Uribe Lira, 42, of Artesia, was charged Monday with two counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals. The alleged offenses took place Aug. 19 and 26, according to court records.

Stephen Troublefield, 25, of Artesia, was charged Monday with three counts of misdemeanor cruel ty to animals. The alleged offenses took place Aug. 14 and 19, according to court records.

Each of the misdemeanor offenses carries a maximum possible penalty of 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

All four men are scheduled to be arraigned on the charges May 11 at the Chaves County Courthouse. The cases have been assigned to Fifth Judicial District Court Judge Kea Riggs.

“I knew who he was, of course, because of the Cobean store,” Owen said. “It’s been such a mainstay in Roswell for as far back as most people can remember, including myself.”

“When I got here 20 years ago, Cobean was still the place to go for office supplies,” added Roswell Mayor Dennis Kintigh.

Owen said McPherson was not only a business owner, but also served as an unofficial ambassador for Roswell.

Owen was mayor of Roswell in 2001 when ILEA-Roswell was established with the support of the city and state to expose participants from around the world to the latest techniques in criminal justice and foreign policy objectives of the U.S. Department of State.

“He was to me one of the epitomes of a true gentleman,

just always very soft spoken, a very kind-hearted gentleman,” said Owen, mayor of Roswell from March 1998 through March 2006. “I think my exposure with him more recently was when I was mayor. He was so supportive of our ILEA program.”

McPherson was a regular at ILEA receptions and graduation ceremonies.

“He didn’t miss a single event when the classes came to town or especially at the graduations,” Owen said. “He was just always out there, always willing to kind of be one of those people to help represent Roswell and Chaves County in a positive way. I think so many of the students probably enjoyed having a chance to meet and talk with him because this was their exposure to the United States and he was always just such a fine gen-

The News-Journal quoted close friend Debbie Chadwick saying, “He had a very good heart, and was devoted to his kids and his friends and family. He enjoyed working for the railroad. He just had his birthday on April 21.”

Coburn wanted to watch them grow up, Chadwick said, and enjoyed horseback and bicycle riding and spending time at the park.

“He found humor in

everything,” Chadwick said.

Weener said it will be at least a year before investigators determine the probable cause of the crash.

vendors, terminated all its employees and dispersed the farm’s thousands of dairy cows to other dairy farms after the undercover investigation by Mercy For Animals documented dairy farm workers kicking and punching cows, stabbing cows with screwdrivers, whipping cows with chains and wire, shocking disabled cows in the genitals with cattle prods and tossing calves in the back of a pick-up truck.

Mercy For Animals, based in Los Angeles, turned over its evidence to the New Mexico Livestock Board and the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said Vandhana Bala, general counsel for Mercy For Animals. Bala said the video and photographic evidence was compiled at the dairy farm for almost five weeks in August and September.

Michael Murphy, chief deputy district attorney for the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, told the Daily Record the video evidence was reviewed by investigators several times to determine the number of potential criminal charges.

Murphy said experts were sought to provide opinions of the video and surrounding circumstances.

The undercover worker for Mercy For Animals who surreptitiously recorded the video and photographic evidence of milk cows being abused by dairy farm workers told the Daily Record in September he believed 10 to 20 workers should be prosecuted.

Deputy District Attorney Matthew Stone, who is prosecuting the animal cruelty cases against the

four men, told the newspaper Wednesday he could not comment on whether more dairy farm workers would be charged.

The undercover worker told the Daily Record he saw criminal animal abuse beginning his first day of employment at Winchester Dairy, and then almost daily thereafter. The undercover worker said he wore a small hidden camera on his clothing to capture video of animal abuse. He said abuse of dairy cows was widespread among the 30 employees he worked with.

The undercover worker, who is listed in court documents as a witness for the state, said he reported the animal abuse to his supervisors, whom he said did not take his complaints seriously, throughout his five-week, full-time employment that ended Sept. 5.

Matt Rice, director of investigations for Mercy For Animals, said Wednesday the recent charges should serve as a warning to the dairy industry not to abuse animals.

“This case graphically illustrates cruel, inhumane and illegal abuses that cows are all too often subjected to at dairy farms across the country,” Rice said. “In a civilized society, it is our moral responsibility to protect all animals, including cows used for milk and cheese, from needless suffering. We hope these charges send a strong message to the dairy industry that animal abuse will not be tolerated.”

Nation and World Briefs Curfew gives city rest from uproar

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore streets previously rocked by riots were eerily quiet early Wednesday as residents obeyed an allnight curfew enforced by 3,000 police and National Guardsmen.

The curfew, which went into effect at 10 p.m. Tuesday, got off to a not-so-promising start, however, as about 200 protesters initially ignored the warnings of police officers and the pleas of community activists to disperse.

Some threw water bottles or lay down on the ground.

A line of police behind riot shields hurled tear gas canisters and fired pepper balls at the crowd and slowly advanced forward to push it back. Demonstra-

tors picked up the canisters and hurled them back at officers. But the crowd rapidly dispersed and was down to just a few dozen people within minutes.

The clash came after a day of high tension but relative peace in Baltimore, which was rocked by looting and widespread arson Monday in the city’s worst outbreak of rioting since 1968.

Saudi king names nephew as prince

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The Saudi king on Wednesday removed his half-brother from the post of crown prince, replacing him with his nephew, and elevated his son to the position of deputy crown prince in the most significant repositioning

of power among members of the kingdom’s royal family since King Salman assumed the throne in January.

The appointments, announced in a decree from the royal court, further thrust a new generation of Saudi princes into the line of succession and mapped out the future of the throne for potentially decades to come.

The post of crown prince secures Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, 55, as the most likely successor to the king. The prince, who is also the interior minister, is widely known internationally as Saudi Arabia’s counterterrorism czar and was previously also deputy crown prince.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Will NM’s economy get $260M-plus boost?

Back in early April, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez found himself in Roswell speaking to the Chaves County Republican Party’s annual dinner.

It’s the sort of thing lieutenant governors do, part of the unofficial job description that goes with the position: If the governor can’t or doesn’t wish to make a speech before a group of local party leaders, send the lieutenant governor.

Normally news coverage of such appearances goes largely unreported except, perhaps, by the local newspaper. In this case, however, after the lieutenant governor made it known to Chaves County’s top Republicans that “pressure is growing for a special session of the Legislature,” the story made a good deal of news.

Naturally the Roswell Daily Record picked it up, but so did numerous other New Mexico papers and statewide TV newscasts. It even showed up in the

Hal

rhodes

Upon Reflection conservative Washington Times back in the nation’s capital.

Which makes a certain amount of sense, inasmuch as only a few days earlier, Gov. Susanna Martinez made it abundantly clear that she wasn’t keen on a special session. Mixed signals coming out of any governor’s administration make headlines.

So, perhaps to lay to rest the apparent differences between Lt. Gov. Sanchez’s and the governor’s views on a special session, Martinez’s spokesman, Enrique Knell, quickly came up with a statement

that read: “Simply put, taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for any more partisan political games.

They paid enough of it during the 60 day session.”

Thus did Mr. Knell simultaneously disparage partisan games and dabble in them.

Wherein lies the silliness of such “games.”

The lieutenant governor knew whereof he spoke when he told the gathering of Chaves County Republicans that pressures “are growing for a special session of the Legislature.”

The governor knows it too. She may be disingenuous at times, but she has to know that all kinds of groups have made their support for a special session clear.

Indeed some GOP notables, including Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry, have urged on more than one occasion that a special session be called. Seconding that

motion have been any number of Republican-leaning chambers of commerce.

The push for a special session was set in motion after the 2015 regular session adjourned without approving a $264 capital outlay bill. The Senate had passed such a measure, but the House Republican majority waited until the last minute to pass out its own version of a bill, leaving senators no time to reconcile the two bills.

It was at that moment also that the partisan finger-pointing and blame-gaming began concerning who’s at fault and which political party should burn at the stake for this sorry state of affairs.

By most accounts something of a consensus exists among legislative Democrats that any session should be a single issue capital outlay conclave, with all the “i’s” dotted and all the “t’s” crossed about what projects are in the bill and what

project are not in before a session is scheduled.

Legislative Republicans are reportedly holding out for some kind of tax cuts package in the mix.

Estimates are that a special session would cost about $50,000 per day. Mixing two issues like capital outlay and tax cuts would likely result in a longer and more costly session than a single issue gathering.

Business leaders and chambers of commerce want a special session precisely because they understand that $260-plus million in capital outlay would do wonders for state businesses still in recession.

In an Albuquerque appearance last week, the governor hinted she leans towards a twofer session, both capital projects and tax cuts.

So why not just get on with it, governor?

Editorial

Forward one step, back two steps Last week Google updated its Chrome web browser, and in the process broke a whole bunch of plug-ins and extensions that a lot of people have come to rely on.

The developers at Chrome decided they didn’t like how plug-ins plugged in, so decided to move forward with technology even if the rest of the online development community wasn’t ready.

At the same time Java sent out another update, which broke some of the Java applications that we run on our web browsers (not just Chrome, but Firefox, Internet Explorer and even Safari). Java is a notorious security problem, and Java updates are frequent.

The combination of updates had an unintended consequence. On Friday, I couldn’t upload photos to the Sun Journal website.

My colleagues still could because they still had earlier versions of Chrome and Java, but I was the only one posting news content to the newbernsj.com website on Friday.

It was an unfortunate collision of situations, because on Friday George Washington visited New Bern for the second time.

The first time was in 1791, and George didn’t look a day older.

Sun Journal photographer Chuck Beckley took some great photos of President Washington’s arrival, which we were able to bring to you the old fashioned way, in the print, the next day.

But none of the photos were online. I couldn’t even post the photos on Facebook.

Though I’m getting long in the tooth, I am no slouch when it comes to technology. Still, I spent a few hours conversing online with different tech people before I convinced them the problem was not due to user error.

I first noticed the problem on Monday, when I tried to post photos on the Sun Journal website from a computer at home without success. I forgot about the issue until Thursday, when I realized I was working alone on Friday and needed the problem fixed.

I should have given the tech people more time. The problem continued through Friday, so no George photos.

Google isn’t the only company that forces the issue by abandoning aging technology.

In 1998, the late Steve Jobs unveiled the iMac. Back then, iMacs were made of clear plastic in a time when most other computers came in various shades of beige.

Another thing that set iMacs apart was that they lacked floppy disk drives. You could buy one as an accessory, but Steve Jobs decided that floppy disks were on their way out.

The iMac also included a USB drive.

Jobs decided that between an optical drive, the Internet and the USB slot, floppy disks were pointless.

He was right — a little early, but right.

Everyone these days has a USB memory stick for transferring files or a Dropbox account for storing files online, or something equivalent. Apple even makes computers without optical drives, meaning that Apple thinks CDs and DVDs are obsolete.

That’s probably true. It’s easier to stream a video over the Internet, and to download software and music, and you don’t have to worry about scratching something you can’t see. We have boxes full of old CDs and DVDs that don’t work.

The problem with innovation today is that it comes too fast. Hardly a week goes by when you aren’t faced an update to software, hardware or online strategy that renders the old way inoperative.

I have a MacBook Pro at home. It was top-of-the-line when I bought it in 2007, but the optical drive stopped working and I haven’t been able to keep current with software updates.

I also have an Apple iPhone, which won’t talk to my MacBook anymore. My Apple iPhone talks to old Windows PCs, but not old Apple computers.

It’s pretty irritating, until I realized that I have an 8-year-old computer that hasn’t been updated in eight years but still works.

Cup half full. Except it wouldn’t load photos to the website, either.

Renewable energy takes a hard hit The year 2015 may go down in the books as the year support for renewable energy died.

Policy adjustments — whether for electricity generation or transportation fuels—are in the works on both state and federal levels.

While the public is generally positive about the idea of renewable energy, the reality of years-long policy implementation that offers it special favors has changed public opinions.

An October 2014 report in Oklahoma’s Enid News titled: “Wind worries?: A decade after welcoming wind farms, states reconsider,” offers this insightful summary: “A decade ago, states offered wind-energy developers an open-armed embrace, envisioning a bright future for an industry that would offer cheap electricity, new jobs and steady income for large landowners, especially in rural areas with

Marita Noon Columnist few other economic prospects.

To ensure the opportunity didn’t slip away, lawmakers promised little or no regulation and generous tax breaks. But now that wind turbines stand tall across many parts of the nation’s windy heartland, some leaders in Oklahoma and other states fear their efforts succeeded too well, attracting an industry that gobbles up huge subsidies, draws frequent complaints and uses its powerful lobby to resist any reforms.”

But, it isn’t just wind energy that has fallen from favor. 2015

state and federal legislation reflects the “reconsider” prediction. Likewise “powerful” lobbyists are resisting the proposed reforms.

Oklahoma is just one state in what has become a new trend.

About a decade ago, when more than half of the states enacted strict Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), Oklahoma, and a few other states, agreed to voluntary targets.

Now, nearly one-third of those states are reconsidering the legislation that sounded so good in a different energy era. Back then, it was widely believed that there was an energy shortage and “dealing with global warming” was a higher public priority.

“Roughly 30 bills relating to the Oklahoma wind industry have been filed in the state legislature in the 2015 session, including at least one targeting the tax breaks and others

attempting to alter regulatory policies,” reports Fox News.

On April 16, the Oklahoma House voted, 78-3, to eliminate the wind energy tax credit. The measure now moves to the Senate, which will review a companion bill introduced

by Senator Mike Mazzei — it is expected to pass and will likely be headed to Governor Mary Fallin soon.

Oklahoma isn’t the first state to reconsider its renewable energy policies. That distinction goes to Ohio, which in May 2014, passed legislation that paused the state’s RPS for two years. Governor John Kasich signed it in June.

Earlier this year, West Virginia became the first state to repeal its RPS. Last month the Texas Senate voted to end its RPS and another program that, according to See NOON, Page A5

Breath easier by minimizing COPD symptoms DEAR DOCTOR K: I have COPD. My doctor is great about prescribing medication, but he doesn’t give me much other advice. So I’ll ask you: What can I do to improve my quality of life?

DEAR READER: There’s a lot you can do. And I have to admit that not all doctors are very good about telling you how your actions can protect your health.

First, some basics. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of disorders that damage the lungs and make breathing increasingly difficult. Common symptoms include a mucus-producing cough, breathlessness, rapid breathing, wheezing, tightness in the chest and fatigue.

You can do a lot to minimize the symptoms from COPD so you can continue to do the things you enjoy:

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate PREVENT RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. Any respiratory infection — even the common cold — can worsen COPD symptoms. To reduce your risk: • Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers.

• Get vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia.

• Get a flu shot every year.

• If you do get the flu, ask your doctor about antiviral medication. It can reduce the severity and duration of your

illness.

PARTICIPATE IN PULMONARY REHABILITATION. Pulmonary rehab combines exercise therapy, breathing retraining, education and psychological support to help you to carry out day-to-day activities with greater ease and independence.

I strongly recommend it to all of my patients with COPD. EXERCISE REGULARLY. Regular exercise helps maintain strength and prevents you from becoming easily tired during physical activities. Aerobic exercise, like walking, is most beneficial. Aim for at least 20 minutes on most days.

DO BREATHING EXERCISES. Pursed-lip breathing is a valuable technique you can learn in pulmonary rehabilitation. Use it to pace yourself through physical activities so you don’t feel out of breath.

EAT AND DRINK REGULARLY. Small meals are easier to

digest and use less energy than large meals. Try having smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals.

And drink plenty of water, which will help you to cough up mucus more easily.

AVOID LUNG IRRITANTS. Many things, from dry air to pollen, can irritate your lungs.

Here are some tips for avoiding irritants: • Use a humidifier when the air is very dry. Dry air can irritate the airways.

• Ventilate your home to reduce dust and cooking exhaust in the air. Unless you are allergic to outdoor allergens, keep windows open when the weather is warm enough.

• Have furnaces and chimneys inspected and cleaned regularly.

• Avoid aerosol products.

RMAC hosts Kim Wiggins, nationally know painter

By Michael Hall RMAC Executive Director

As the executive director of the Roswell Museum and Art Center, I am very pleased about the successful completion of the Lorene Johnson Gratton Endowment Workshop. Sponsored by the RMAC Foundation and its administration of the Gratton Family Endowment, the Workshop featured guest instructor Kim Wiggins who is an extremely prominent Roswell painter and a nationally-known artist.

Among his many talents is that of a gifted teacher.

He not only conveys technique and the mechanics of

painting but also a sense of composition, style and form.

The class of ten aspiring art enthusiasts in the Gratton Workshop had a rare treat to study under the guidance of this gifted artist.

Before Mr. Wiggins began, the class commenced with an introduction by Patrick Gratton, who explained in

detail the background of the Lorene Johnson Gratton Endowment and the desire of the family to provide a quality art instruction experience to adults who might not normally be able to take advantage of such opportunities. For this reason numerous scholarships were offered. Mr. Gratton

explained how his mother had taken part in just such a class in the early days of the RMAC. This dated back to the very establishment of this Museum when it started as a WPA-funded venture to support art and artists in the late 1930s.

The Gratton Workshop took things a little further and assured all supplies were provided to our class participants. For a full day Saturday and a half day Sunday in April, participants enjoyed producing two works on canvasses in our RMAC classroom. Kim Wiggins is proficient and able to instruct in multiple paint mediums; however, in

this workshop acrylic paints were provided.

We thank the Gratton family for their dedication to the RMAC. For a number of years this endowment, administered through the RMAC Foundation, has allowed the Museum to bring talented artists to Roswell and provide quality art instruction. Thank you to RMAC Foundation Executive Director, Cindy Torrez, for her dedication to making all such projects serve our patrons.

We have many more special classes offered at the RMAC and even more coming this summer. One of the many goals of the Roswell

Museum and Art Center is to expand our service to our community. We are reaching a much wider segment of the population than ever before and are proud of it. If you would like to participate in one of our many programs, please call RMAC Education Curator Claudia Gonzalez at 624-6744, ext. 22, for more information or to register.

You can also go online to our website, roswellmuseum.org for a list of classes and special events that the RMAC has to offer. Do not be discouraged if finances are tough; the RMAC is proud to offer scholarships to those who qualify.

What crops are and are not OK to plant in tire planters Q. My friend has done some research and found concerns for root veggies planted in tires. The concern is that root vegetables may absorb chemicals from the tires. Are there other veggies that may be planted in tires that would not be affected adversely? We want to plant in healthy environments.

A. Johnson A. I have often seen recommendations to grow potatoes in tire, often stacked so that as the potato plants grow up, another layer of tires and soil may be added to increase the yield in a small area. I have also heard of concerns that there are materials in the tires that are toxic or potentially toxic.

factor in loss of toxic materials from the tires. His point was that there was very little tire material exposed to the external environment to leach toxic materials into a home and concluded that this was a beneficial use of old tires.

His comments suggested a solution to the concerns related to tire gardens if even underground crops such as potatoes and root crops were to be grown in tires. Tires lined on the inside with plastic or treated with non-toxic water-proof paint should have very little loss of toxic materials into the soil. If the crops were not in contact with the tires and if they were washed and

peeled before use, the hazard would be reduced even more.

However, as you mentioned in your question, there are many other crops that are produced above ground. Growing crops produced above the soil will further reduce the potential for concerns. Heavy metals leached from the tires are much less soluble in high pH soils typical in New Mexico and the plants will not be able to absorb these heavy metals and translocate them into the edible parts of the plant. Even in soils amended with organic matter and less alkaline should be safe for plants with above ground edible parts.

Organic materials that leach from the tires are also not absorbed through plant roots and should not be a problem. Crops to consider are beans, squash, cucumbers, and other climbing plants that may be trellised to keep the fruit from contact with the tires. Tomatoes in cages, corn, and other tall plants may also be considered. This option will permit beneficial use of old tires and provide an abundance of caution to avoid the concerns about toxic materials from the tires. Protective coatings covering the tires will further reduce concerns even if the edible part of the crop comes into contact with the tire.

numbers for the USA was 368 CAP, 2730 PC making a total of 3098. New Mexico was ranked No. 3 in the nation behind The District of Columbia and South Carolina.

I believe the foregoing stats show that Roswell has a real problem and a real crime wave. I think crime is the most important problem that Roswell has and it is affecting the city’s overall growth. Could a contributing factor be that Roswell has the lowest median household income of New Mexico’s 10 largest cities?

As for the RPD’s understaffing, Roswell has positions for some 97 certified officers which include the police officers, the sergeants, the commanders, the captain, and the chiefs, which equates to 2.0 officers per 1,000 population.

There are 76 police officers positions; as of December 31, 2013 the number on the payroll was 64, and of that No. 21 of the officers had less than two years in the department. At the end of the year, the total number of certified officers on

the payroll was 83 (or about 1.7 officers per 1000 population), while the number should be about 2.5 officers per 1000 (total 121 officers) with a city whose crime rate is that of Roswell. Hobbs has 2.17 officers per 1000 population while Santa Fe has 2.3, Farmington has 2.58, New Mexico has 2.22 and the USA has 2.35.

Now for the underpaid, Roswell’s first year certified officer salary is $17.56 per hour while Ruidoso first year officers makes $20.14 per hour, Hobbs pays $22.28 per hour, Carlsbad pays $23.62 per hour, and Farmington pays $21.51 per hour plus a $15,000 hiring bonus for officers that are certified in New Mexico. The New Mexico State Police start new officers at $19.05 per hour. Until Roswell offers a competitive starting wages it cannot hope to have the number of experienced officers that it needs to combat the crime that it has, and has had for several of years.

Like root crops, potatoes could potentially become contaminated. I found no information about levels of these materials from tires that are necessary to cause the toxic effects. However, I did find information indicating that the amount of material leached or evolved (gaseous materials) from the rubber was greatest in crumb rubber used as mulch. The smaller particles of rubber have a greater surface area for leaching of

materials. Intact tires have much less surface area exposed to soil and therefore loose materials slowly.

This was a point expressed by an author discussing the problem of toxic materials in tires used in Earthship rammed earth homes. An important point brought up by that author was that surface area exposed to sunlight which increased the rate of the loss of material from tires is an important

Dear editor, We had a meeting of the local DWI committee last Thursday and the members thought I should share these stats with you.

So far in the month of April we have arrested another 10 people for DWI. This brings the 2015 total up to 47 for DWI arrests for the Sheriff’s Office.

This means we have equaled our DWI arrest totals for all of 2014. The Average BAC result so far for April is a .18 percent. That number is more than twice the legal limit and we had one motorist arrested this month who tested .28 percent. This number is incredible and scary to think that anybody might be driving a vehicle at that level. Is our message not getting out?

Have we not been doing our job? Were they living in a cave somewhere and not getting the message?

I am very proud and appreciative of the efforts of my staff who are doing all the work. The only thing I can take credit for is reminding my staff that it is our job. If not us, then who?

I want to commend the New Mexico State Police for the great job they do, but the state police don’t have a lot of officers here in Chaves County to cover all the hours, days and miles needing to be covered. They do a great job and I applaud their efforts, not to mention I have a nephew in the New Mexico State Police who is stationed in Taos so they have a special place in my heart.

The state police needs our help and we need theirs.

I am committed to reminding my deputies that we have lots of jobs we may not want to do, but we must do our part. The tragic death of the local school teacher last week on East Second Street, may serve the latest example of what CAN happen if intoxicated drivers are not taken off our roadways. No family deserves to get that kind of news and especially when the poor decisions of another driver might be a cause. My heart goes out to Johnson family.

The Chaves County Sheriff’s Office will be a team player when it comes to law enforcement efforts here in

Chaves County. I sincerely appreciate the Roswell Daily Recorder for helping local law enforcement draw attention to the serious issue of drunk driving.

Chaves County Sheriff Britt Snyder Roswell Dear editor, Not too long ago, I believe a Roswell Police Department official was quoted in the Roswell Daily Record as saying something to the effect that Roswell is experiencing a crime wave. I agree, but it looks more like a tsunami. The Police Blotter in the RDR only reports a fraction of the crimes committed in the city.

The men and women of the Roswell Police Department do the best job they can considering they are underpaid and the RPD is understaffed. During the calendar year of 2014 the total of crimes against persons (CAP: murder, rape, robbery, and assault) was 549, the total property crimes (PC: burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft) was 3,039. There were

6,646 arrests for various crimes, 162 DWI arrests, and 12,148 traffic citations were issued. The CAP numbers for 2014 were up by 15 percent while the PC was down by 7 percent.

In 2013 Roswell had the highest crime rate per capita of the 10 largest cities in (population 25,000+ residents) New Mexico with Albuquerque No. 2, Santa Fe No. 3, Clovis No. 4, Hobbs No. 5, Carlsbad No. 6, Las Cruces No. 7, Farmington No. 8, Alamogordo No. 9, and Rio Rancho No. 10. Roswell’s numbers more than triple those of Rio Rancho and more than double those of Alamogordo.

Roswell’s per capita murder rate in 2013 was higher than that of Chicago’s.

Out of the 208 cities and towns listed in New Mexico Roswell ranked about #6 in the state in population.

Roswell’s crime rate for 2013, calculated on the basis of a population of 100,000, was 978 CAP and 6672 PC making a total of 7650 while that of NM was 596 CAP, 3705 PC making a total of 4301 and the

the payouts ballooned to $63.5 million according to the Baton Rouge Advocate.

Repealing or revising the policy is a key priority in the current legislative session.

“Taxpayer support for wind energy is also losing momentum in Congress,” says Fox News. It points out: “Capitol Hill lawmakers at the end of last year did not extend the Federal Production Tax Credit (PTC).

It is not just wind energy that has lost favor in Congress. The Ethanol mandates—known as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) — are being re-examined, too.

On Jan. 16, Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) introduced the “Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act of 2015.”

More recently, a “former Obama economic adviser,” issued a report that calls for changes to the 10-yearold RFS. Harvard University Professor Jim Stock served

on the Council of Economic Advisers in 2013 and 2014.

The Hill states: “His report comes at a time of growing angst among lawmakers, regulators and the industry over the future of the RFS, which mandates fuel refiners blend a certain volume of ethanol and biodiesel into their traditional gasoline and diesel supplies.”

Federal lawmakers are looking toward advanced biofuels that don’t raise food costs. However, the Environmental Protection Agency — tasked with implementing the RFS — has repeatedly waived or reduced the cellulosic biofuel requirements because, despite more than $126 billion invested since 2003, the industry has yet to produce commercially viable quantities of fuel.

Addressing growing skepticism and dwindling investment in biofuels, The Economist, on April 18, states: “Some companies, indeed, are starting to give up. Sev-

eral algae-to-fuel ventures in America are switching to the manufacture of high-value chemicals instead. Sunlight is a great source of energy.

Biology may not be the best way of storing it.”

Looking at all the policy reviews, the trend is clear.

As Watchdog.org, in a report titled: “Why repealing the renewable energy mandates is good for the economy,” concludes: “The best policy for the states is to leave energy consumption decisions to consumers in the market rather than legislate them.”

Coming up, Kansas, North Carolina, and Michigan have legislation that revisits the states’ favorable renewable energy policies.

New Mexico and Colorado had bills to revisit the RPS that passed in one chamber, but not in the other.

While Louisiana doesn’t have an RPS, it does have generous tax credits for solar panel installations that have exploded the cost to the state’s taxpayers.

Ida Lee Cooper

Ida Lee Cooper, a very special daughter of God,

went to sleep for the last time Sunday evening, after several months of having some medical challenges.

Born on October 27, 1923, in Oswalt, Love County, Oklahoma, to Lucas Leonidas and Ada Belle (Blount) Simmons Beck, Ida was the fourth of six children. Her family moved to New Mexico when she was a small child; they also lived in California.

Ida was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being the first member to be baptized in this area in 1942 and served in several callings in the Roswell 1st ward. Over the years, Ida would mail out thousands of cards, making sure that every sister was remembered on their birthday. She was a good mother and taught her children to work hard and to be honest in all things.

While Ida took care of her mother Ada in her later years, she started shelling pecans by hand to keep busy and for extra money.

She has shelled several tons over the years.

In the later years of her life, Ida developed a hobby of making beautiful lap quilts and baby quilts.

There are many babies throughout the country that have been surrounded by the love that she has sewn into her quilts. Lots of new mothers looked forward to getting a “Granny Cooper” quilt. Ida often told stories of picking cotton, vegetables and fruit in an effort to support her young family. Ida worked at Palace Drug, running the fountain, bartending at The Colonial Club, carhopped at the Park-n-Eat and packed bologna at Glover Packing

Company. Before she had to retire because of health, she fought to bring the Union in at Glover Packing.

Preceding Ida in death were her parents; Luke (1950) and Ada (1991); sisters: Evelyn Lorene (Rena) Simmons Rader (1971), Hazel Pearl (Jackie) Simmons Gonzales (1996), Mary Ellen Simmons Huddleston (2009); brothers: Robert Alfred Simmons (1917), and Jimmie Simmons (2011); a nephew who was raised as a brother, Paul Raymond McFarin (2014); daughter, Patricia Ann Belcher (1942); grandchildren: Mary Ann Lucart (1967), Roger Dale Cloud (1968), Wayne Lucart (1969), Erin Lea Vandeveer (1981), Rhonda Juanette Cloud Montgomery (2004), and Janiece Irene Lucart Morales (2012); great-granddaughter, Rebecca Marie Montgomery (2004). Also preceding her in death were her former husbands and the fathers of her children: Albert Marshall Belcher (1992), Robert Dale Monroe (2010) and Leon Fredrick Cooper (1981).

Surviving Ida are daughters: Shirley Aileen Hughes and husband Deward (Johnny), Sharon Kay Lucart and husband Leslie Leon (Les); Deanna Lea Vandeveer and husband Frank Stanley (Stan); a son, Thomas Leon (Tom) Cooper and wife Glenna (Bones); grandchildren: Rosalee (Rosie) Sopher (Jesse), Robert Eugene Cloud (Kim), Odis Ray Cloud, Rodney Lewis Cloud, Randy Lamar Cloud (Melody), Allen Dale Lucart (Jaye), Janette Ilene Jerrell (Ben), Shannon Heard, Richard Harkness,

Attorney general Loretta Lynch Calif. makes efforts to cut greenhouse decries violence in Baltimore WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Wednesday called the rioting in Baltimore “senseless acts of violence” that were counterproductive to improving relationships between the police and community.

In her first public remarks on the unrest since being sworn in two days ago, Lynch said the city could in some ways be seen as a symbol of the national debate on race relations and law enforcement.

“But,” she added, “I’d ask that we remember that Baltimore is more than just a symbol. Baltimore is a city. It is a great city. It is a beautiful city.”

She said it was a city that police were trying to protect and peaceful protesters were trying to improve, all while “struggling to balance great expectations and need with limited resources.”

The Justice Department is also conducting a separate voluntary review of the Baltimore police department’s use of force practices.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Building on California’s ambitious effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday called on the state to further slash its carbon footprint over the next 15 years.

Brown set a new target of reducing emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, calling it the most aggressive benchmark enacted by a government in North America.

The goal is a mile marker on the way to cutting emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050 that was set by Brown’s predecessor, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I’ve set a very high bar, but it’s a bar we must meet,” Brown said during a climate conference in Los Angeles.

California, which already has an aggressive plan to combat global warming, currently is on track to meet a goal of cutting carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, partly by forc-

ing companies to pay for their pollution.

The state’s cap-and-trade program, launched nearly three years ago, offers one of the few real-world laboratories on how to reduce heat-trapping emissions. It expanded this year to fine companies that produce gasoline and other fuels, prompting predictions that consumers will see a spike in prices to cover the costs.

Brown’s executive order lacked details on how the state would achieve further emissions reductions — the equivalent of taking 36 million cars off the road, more than all the vehicles registered in California last year.

State officials said it would require accelerated development of renewable energy and alternative fuel sources, and getting more electric cars and zero-emission heavy-duty trucks on the road.

“The good thing is we got a running start right now,” said Stanley Young, spokesman for the California Air Resources Board.

Japan PM offers condolences for WWII dead in historic speech WASHINGTON (AP) — Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered condolences Wednesday for Americans killed in World War II in the first address by a Japanese leader to a joint meeting of Congress, but stopped short of apologizing for wartime atrocities.

Abe came to Capitol Hill after a morning visit to a Washington memorial to more than 400,000 American service members who died in the conflict. His remarks to a packed chamber a day after meeting President Barack Obama were warmly received by lawmakers.

“My dear friends, on behalf of Japan and the Japanese people, I offer with profound respect my eternal condolences to the souls of all American people that were lost

during World War II,” he said, prompting his audience to rise in applause.

But he skirted another issue that some U.S. lawmakers had also been urging him to address in what is the 70th anniversary year of the end of war — the sexual slavery of tens of thousands of Asian women by Japan’s military, which remains a sore point with another staunch U.S. ally, South Korea. One of the few dozen surviving Korean victims, Yong Soo-lee, 87, was in the gallery to watch Abe’s address, seated in a wheelchair.

Instead, the Japanese prime minister expressed “feelings of deep remorse over the war.”

He acknowledged that “our actions brought suffering to the peoples in Asian countries,

we must not avert our eyes from that.” That won’t satisfy his critics, who want Abe to do more than “uphold” the apologies for wartime abuses made by his predecessors.

Democratic Rep. Mike Honda, who invited Yong to attend, said it was “shocking and shameful” that Abe was evading his government’s responsibility over atrocities committed by the Imperial Army against so-called “comfort” women.

Midway Baptist Church - A distinctly Baptist Church Midway Baptist Church is located at 134 Yakima Rd. in Midway, the “blue church” on the Dexter highway. Services are at 9:30am, 10:40am, and 6pm on Sundays, and at 6:30pm on Wednsdays.

There are karate classes on Monday nights at 6:00 and a youth “Center Shot” scripture ministry on Wednesday nights at 6:00. On May 8/9, the church is having a 24 hour prayer vigil from 5:00pm on Friday until 5:00pm on Saturday. For more information, contact the pastor, Lawrence Lowery, at 575-578-2877.

Lawrence and his wife Jeanette have been at Midway since July 2014.

He is a native of Alabama, and she of Nicaragua, and they met while involved in Spanish mission work in Alabama . Br. Lawrence attended Bible school in Tennessee, college and graduate school in alabama and New Mexico, law school at Alabama, and has taught school and pastored churches in Alabama, Texas, and New Mexico.

that the most powerful thing in the world is the Gospel (“good news”) of Grace of God as defined by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:1-4: Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; He was buried; He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. This gospel is called “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16), and we believe that this gospel has the power to transform individual lives, families, communities, nations.

We believe that eternal salvation comes when any lost and repentant sinner hears this gospel and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation (Acts 1:30-31). Salvation is not found in baptism, church sacraments, keeping the Ten Commandments, observing the Golden rule, or repeating the “sinner’s prayer.”

Prayers don’t save; only Jesus saves.

These things we believe at Midway Baptist.

‘Destiny’ creators seek to atone for missteps LOS ANGELES (AP) — The creators of “Destiny” are ready to unleash the wolves.

When the latest expansion to the hugely ambitious but frequently maligned video game “Destiny” is released next month, it won’t merely feature a new social area, multiplayer mode and maps. “House of Wolves” will also aim to right several wrongs as developer Bungie, publisher Activision and the sci-fi shooter’s Guardian protagonists look to the future.

Despite its popularity, many players have become frustrated with the game’s lack of content and unpredictable nature. “Destiny” randomly rewards players with new gear, guns and parts, The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You will be more subtle and practical in the morning; however, by the afternoon you’ll be quick-witted and direct.

Just how much have they changed?

“The short answer is everything,” said multiplayer design lead Lars Bakken. “We put out the game we thought ‘Destiny’ would be, and then it took on a life of its own once it was in the wild. We probably touched every system in the game. We’ve already done so many enhancements to ‘Destiny.’

I can’t even keep them straight in my head at this point.”

ly detailed worlds found in “Destiny” are persistent realms that can only be accessed online by players, who portray one of the gun-toting, super-powered Guardians that must defend the last city on Earth from oblivion. Simply put, it’s “World of Warcraft” meets “Halo.”

Critically, “Destiny” was met with mixed reviews when the shared-world shooter went online in September. The New York Times’ Chris Suellentrop said it was “monotonous and poorly paced,” while Lou Kesten of The Associated Press dubbed it “unimaginative.” ‘‘Destiny” has a 76 out of 100 rating on the review aggregator site Metacritic.com.

Softball district title pivots on Rockets-Coyotes DH

By Jeff Jackson Record Sports Writer

With a district championship hanging in the balance, Goddard and Roswell meet today in what should be a jewel affair on the softball diamond.

The teams have already played three sparkling games this season, with the Lady Rockets winning each time by one run, 1-0, 1-0 and 6-5.

Despite those three setbacks, the Lady Coyotes are still tied with Goddard for first place in the District 4 standings at 7-3.

“Very interesting. Whole thing’s up in the air for whoever comes and plays hardest,” said Goddard coach Jay Edgett.

“We’ve had some close ball games.”

Either team would win the championship with a sweep of today’s doubleheader, which starts at 4:30 p.m. at Roswell’s field.

The side losing the sweep would fall to third place behind Artesia, provided the Lady Bulldogs sweep their own doubleheader at Lovington today. Lovington is 0-10 in the district and has won only two of 24 games overall this season.

“The bottom line of the whole matter is let’s take care of business and sweep; end of discussion.

If we sweep we’re No. 1. If we get swept we’re No. 3,” said Roswell coach Art Sandoval.

A split between the Coyotes and Rockets, coupled with Artesia’s potential sweep, would create a headache. That sce nario would leave each of the three teams with 8-4 records in the dis-

Jacelyn Reyes outdueled Mykaya Olivas for the shutout win as Goddard scored in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Roswell (16-7 overall) will put Olivas in the circle for today’s first game, while Edgett said he will start Reyes or Danielle Hubbard.

“Because it’s a doubleheader, we’ll be throwing both girls. It’s a matter of which one we throw first, and it hasn’t been decided by the coaching staff yet,” Edgett said. “We’ll throw Jacelyn one game, throw Danielle the other one. I have confidence in both of them. Both come through and have their strengths and makes it really good for the team. It just makes it a different dynamic defensively when one girls pitches versus the other. We’ll just one thing a little more than the other.”

The Coyotes’ ace, Olivas, has between 130 and 140 strikeouts this season, Sandoval said.

Unlike basketball and volleyball, softball does not have district tournaments.

The 16-team field for the state tournament will be announced Sunday. The top eight teams will host sudden-death first-round games May 8-9, with the winners advancing to a double-elimination format in Rio Rancho.

Bronco basketball standout Haudrick Hilaire is headed to a Division I school with a role as a two-guard with the Jackson State University Tigers next season, out of Jackson, MI. Hilare came to NMMI from Guadaloupe in the Lesser Antilles — a French territory in the Carribbean — as a sophomore transfer from Snow College, and was a driving force behind the Institute’s most successful season in many years.

“We finally came to some understandings that he could really dictate how our games were going to be played, based on his enthusiasm, his effort on defense and his quickness and his strength,” said NMMI head coach Sean Schooley. “He’s the type of player that has to come out the gate going right at it.

“It’s not his strength to wait and see what has to be done. He has to establish it, and I’m pretty sure at his next school, which I know he’s going to do very well, that’s what they’re looking for him to do, is establish tempo of games, because I believe him and the whole team, but especially Hydro, really, when he was down and ready to go and was totally focused in it, I always

Hilaire had an outstanding performance in the team’s final game, scoring 30 points vs.

Hill Junior College in the WJCAC Region V tournament. The Broncos lost to the taller, No. 3-ranked team, which ultimately ended their season, but it wasn’t for a lack of effort by the 6-foot-1 guard.

He played in all 27 of the Broncos’ games this season, averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.65 steals per game.

He said the decision who to sign with was tough, with Jackson State and Rice Universi-

ty out of Houston both vying for his talents, but the Tigers finally won out because “they had the best program for me. It was the best fit for me,” Hilaire said.

HIlaire says he thinks JSU head coach Wayne Brent — who took the team to an 11-21, 9-10 record last year — sees several things in his new recruit.

“First of all, they like the way I played defense, so that’s why they were interested in me,” Hilaire said. “I’m always going hard. That’s what they liked about me.”

He’ll be joining a team that only graduates three seniors this year, and only has two juniors,

meaning he could be a force in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

“He’s going to be an outstanding player for them,” Schooley said.

“He’s very coachable.

He’s hard working, and I think he’s matured here. I think that it’s made him realize what his strengths and weaknesses are, and if he will just continue to buy into systems, I think you’ll hear some great things from him at the next level. I’m looking forward to watching him on ESPN and stuff like that.

Very proud of him. Very proud.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kevin Love had surgery on his badly damaged left shoulder that could require six months of recovery, officially ending any remote chance he had of returning during Cleveland’s playoff run.

Love, whose arm was yanked from the sock et on Sunday by Boston’s Kelly Olynyk during Game 4, had the operation at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York on Wednesday. The team released a brief statement saying the forward had the procedure and that his projected recovery time is 4-to-6 months.

On Tuesday, Cavs general manager David Griffin said it was “highly unlikely” Love would return during the postseason. That distant possibility was erased by the surgery to a shoulder Griffin said sustained “extensive” damage. Love had ligaments in his shoulder torn on a play that has shaken Cleveland’s championship hopes.

Love was battling for a loose ball when his arm got tangled with Olynyk midway through the first quarter of Cleveland’s series-sweeping win over the Celtics. Olynyk pulled on Love’s arm, causing the dislocation. Following the game, Love called the play “bush league” and said he was convinced Olynyk tried to hurt him intentionally.

Olynyk did not get called for a foul on the play, but the next day the NBA suspended him one game for his actions.

Love finally made it to the playoffs in his first season with Cleveland, which acquired him last summer in a trade from Minnesota. The seven-year veteran struggled at times during a bumpy year with the Cavs, who will face either Chicago or Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference semifinals starting next week.

But Love had become more of an offensive weapon in recent weeks, and now the Cavs have to chase a title without him.

Jeff Gordon to drive pace car in Indianapolis 500 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jeff Gordon will finally get a chance to lead the Indianapolis 500 field across the yard of bricks.

He’ll even get to do his version of The Double.

On Wednesday, the fivetime Brickyard 400 champion was named this year’s Indianapolis 500 pace car driver, setting up a busy Memorial Day weekend for the NASCAR star.

Gordon and his family will arrive in Indy the night before the race, get to the track early May 24 to enjoy the festivities, then hop in the pace car for a few laps before heading to Charlotte where he will compete in the Coca-Cola 600 later that night. Actually, it was so complex Indianapolis Motor Speedway president Doug Boles described it a “logistical nightmare.”

With the help of engine manufacturer Chevrolet and some flexible scheduling, Gordon’s support team found a way to work out the details and give him another special moment on his farewell tour. Gordon, a longtime ambassador for Chevy, is retiring at the end of this season.

“To me, doing the Double has never been anything that I seriously thought

Absolutely. It just wasn’t meant to be.”

Gordon grew up in nearby Pittsboro, Indiana, and won the inaugural Brickyard 400 at Indy in 1994.

Since then, he has won four more times and will return in July for what could be his final race at the track as the defending champion. Only one driver, Jimmie Johnson, has ever won back-to-back Brickyards and the first of those, in 2008, came on a race day

plagued by tire problems and competition cautions.

Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher is the only other driver to win five times on Indy’s famous speedway “There’s always something special when I drive in this track, whether we’re testing, whether we’re here to race, there’s something so special to me,” Gordon said. “I think it goes back to that childhood I have, the memories I have of watching the Indy 500, being here live for the Indy 500. That was the first real motorsports race that I ever watched from TV, was the Indy 500. It’s the one I watched every year.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even with a new format, the objective didn’t change in the Match Play Championship.

And neither did the emotions.

Masters champion Jordan Spieth, still equipped with that sporty short game, made seven birdies in 16 holes and had an easy time against Mikko Ilonen of Finland. Rory McIlroy, the top seed, made only one birdie and had an even easier time in beating Jason Dufner.

“Match play, you just need to beat the person that’s in front of you, and I did that today,” McIlroy said. “Now move on tomorrow.”

Except with the new format, everyone moves on.

Unlike last year, Spieth and McIlroy could only celebrate a good start to a tour-

nament that won’t have any clarity until players start packing their bags. Round robin has replaced single elimination. No one really advances until after Friday — the player with the best record from each of the 16 four-man groups.

As usual, plenty of big names lost early.

Defending champion Jason Day struggled off the tee and lost to Charley Hoffman. Justin Rose lost to Mark Leishman. Henrik Stenson and Jimmy Walker lost in extra holes. Matt Kuchar lost when Ben Martin made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole and they matched pars on the 18th.

Instead of going home, they have some hope.

But even without single elimination, one aspect of this World Golf Championship hasn’t changed. There

was plenty of agitation.

Ian Poulter was in no mood to talk after making only one birdie — on the 13th hole — in losing to Webb Simpson on the 16th hole. Neither was Walker, who went 19 holes with Gary Woodland. Adam Scott couldn’t leave fast enough after getting blown out by Francesco Molinari.

“Nobody wants to lose,” Kuchar said. “I can assure you of that.”

Kuchar never trailed in his match, and they were all square going to the long par-3 17th. Martin hit a hybrid into a cool breeze from about 235 yards that rolled toward the hole and swirled around the cup before dropping for an ace.

“I’d say under the circumstances, that’s probably the best shot I’ve ever hit,” Martin said.

Danica Patrick losing GoDaddy as primary NASCAR car sponsor CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It’s been at least a dozen years, by Danica Patrick’s count, that she has had to worry about sponsorship for her race car.

There has never been a shortage of companies lined up hoping to use one of the most recognized drivers in the world to push their brand.

Now she suddenly finds herself in the same boat as so many drivers: In need of sponsorship to fund her ride in NASCAR’s top series.

GoDaddy said Wednesday it was leaving NASCAR at the end of this season, but will likely continue working with Patrick on a personal services agreement.

The internet domain giant has been with Patrick in some form since 2007, and became her primary sponsor in 2010 when she raced in the IndyCar Series for Andretti Autosport. GoDaddy moved with Patrick to NASCAR, and is in its third year as primary sponsor of her No. 10 Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series.

“I’m sad. I’m a little surprised and I’m sad,” Patrick told The Associated Press.

“But to say I didn’t imagine this was not a scenario would be a lie. It’s bittersweet. It’s going to be really weird to think I won’t drive

GoDaddy’s decision has been a possibility for several years as the company looked at marketing strategies to grow its international reach. GoDaddy is in the final year of its contract with Stewart-Haas Racing, which fields the car for the 33-year-old Patrick. Patrick is also in the final year of her contract with SHR. Phil Bienert, the chief marketing officer at GoDaddy, told the AP it was strictly a business decision as data showed the company “we are past brand marketing in the U.S.” Patrick has long been closely tied with GoDaddy’s

growth in the United States, largely because of the advertising campaigns that featured the driver. She was initially used in multiple provocative campaigns, but GoDaddy has toned down that approach of late and concentrated on attracting the small business owner.

Still, Patrick remains a central figure in GoDaddy’s strategies. She holds the record for celebrities by appearing in the most Super Bowl ads; what would have been her 14th appearance was quashed this February when GoDaddy pulled its ad under pressure from animal rights groups.

Baltimore Orioles fans booted from ballgame amid unrest

BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis might have hit the quietest home run for the home team in Orioles history.

As the slugger pounded the ball deep onto Eutaw Street, just a few feet from where fans normally would have sprinted after a chance to catch a souvenir, there was almost nothing to hear.

The only muffled cheers came from a pocket of diehards locked out of Camden Yards yelling “Let’s Go O’s!”

On this day, 30,000 Orioles fans had been muted.

The wild applause had been silenced. There were no fans to stand for a standing ovation.

Just Davis’ teammates in the dugout coming over for high-fives.

“When you’re rounding the bases, and the only cheers you hear were from outside the stadium,” he said, “it’s a weird feeling.”

Baseball in Baltimore was closed to the public Wednesday. The shutout in the final score was in the attendance total: Orioles 8, White Sox 2, Fans 0.

MLB decided to play the game behind closed doors because of looting and rioting around Camden Yards that broke out amid tensions between residents and police. The turmoil prompted a citywide curfew and began hours after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who sustained a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody.

The game was one of the oddest in history, brought alive only by sounds that were unmasked by the absence of fans’ voices.

No cheering for the Orioles, no jeering the umpires. Not an usher, a wave, or one last call for a cold beer.

The sounds of the game popped for the lucky hundreds of players, media or staff allowed inside, with each “whack!” ‘‘crack!” and “pop!” echoing throughout empty Camden Yards.

Behind the plate, a couple of scouts kept their eyes on the action.

The players were as audible as kids playing backyard wiffle ball.

When Chicago second baseman Micah Johnson got the relay throw from right fielder Avisail Garcia, those around him shouted “No!” as he turned to make a throw to the plate.

That’s because Everth Cabrera had stopped at third base.

These are the things the fans don’t usually hear at the game. That, and an infielder yelling, “I got it!” as the outfielder closes in.

The only place full besides the dugouts was the press box, where all 92 seats were taken. Beyond that, TV camera crews lined the field and stationed outside the ballpark, creating media buzz similar to that of a playoff game.

But the grandstands were as vacant as they are in the offseason.

The usually teeming concourse was barren and the concession stands selling $15 crabcakes, $6.50 crab soups and $8 canned beers were locked up.

And those signs cautioning fans to “Watch Out for Batted Balls” were pointless for a day.

It was believed to be the only time in Major League Baseball’s 145-season history that the game went on without fans. Neither the Baseball Hall of Fame nor John Thorn, Major League Baseball’s official historian, could find record of a major league game being played behind closed doors

One Orioles fan hollered during batting practice: “Let us in!”

No such luck.

But baseball fans are a pesky bunch, and just because they were locked out of Camden, they refused to be shooed away from a glimpse at history.

Hundreds of fans peered through a fence beyond the bleacher seats in left-center field.

Some fans had a view from the upper, upper deck — a hotel balcony across the street complete with an Orioles banner draped behind them. That’s one way to avoid the kiss cam — but it was dark for the day.

Other game routines were intact. Players and

Money the biggest thing as Mayweather, Pacquiao prepare to square off Saturday LAS VEGAS (AP) — His middle name is Money, or at least it used to be before Floyd Mayweather Jr. stopped flashing $100,000 wads of cash every time he saw a camera.

That doesn’t mean money is ever very far from his mind. Certainly not now, when he’s the richest man in the richest fight ever.

Mayweather has spent as much time this week talking about the mansion in Las Vegas, the home in Miami and the private jet that seats 14 than he has about Manny Pacquiao. He even figured out the math when it comes to dividing it up among his kids.

“Let’s say I make $200 million,” Mayweather said.

“That means my kids for this fight will get $50 million apiece. I think I made a smart move.”

Indeed, Mayweather proved a smart businessman in signing for a fight that will likely earn him $180 million or more. But the smartest thing he may have done was delay the fight five years so it would be must-see TV, even at a record price of $99.95.

“Five years ago this was a $50 million fight for me,” Mayweather said, “and a $20 million fight for him.”

The frenzy for the boxing’s biggest event of the century continued to build Wednesday, even if the two fighters themselves were very subdued. They appeared at a final prefight press conference with nothing bad to say about each other, and couldn’t even bring themselves to scowl for pictures.

If the past five years were personal, with the two camps trading barbs, the fight itself is not. Pacquiao will be fighting for his lega-

That was apparent when Mayweather was asked if being undefeated was the biggest motivation for him.

“At the end of the day my daughter can’t eat no zero,” Mayweather said of his unbeaten mark. “She can’t spend a boxing ring.”

Money shouldn’t be a problem for the Mayweather family after this fight.

Not with total revenue of some $300 million — and possibly more if the payper-view is the hit that network executives privately think it will be.

Mayweather won’t be the only one getting rich. Pacquiao will also share in the $120 million or so his side will pocket for the fight, beginning with a $25 million check from promoter Bob Arum the night of the fight.

“I don’t like to write checks of an amount I don’t have in the bank,” Arum said. “I can cover 25 so that’s the amount he will get fight night.”

Pacquiao said he couldn’t even conceive of the kind

of money he makes now to fight.

“I used to sleep in the street starving and hungry,” the Filipino congressman said. “I can’t imagine the boy who slept in the streets was raised to this level where I am today.”

Both fighters finished their major preparation earlier in the week, with both facing challenges unlike they have seen before.

In Mayweather’s case it’s a southpaw who fights in spurts and comes from different angles, a style he will have to figure out early in the fight. For Pacquiao, it’s a defensive wizard who has fought 47 fighters and beaten every one of them.

“I think we can outpoint this guy,” trainer Freddie Roach said. “If a knockout comes it will be a bonus.”

Mayweather has been rather quiet about his strategy, preferring instead to talk about how he became the highest paid athlete in the world or promoting his websites. But he said his father, Floyd Sr., has crafted a game plan that will help him remain unbeaten after 19 years in the sport.

umpires still bowed their heads in silence during the national anthem and an organ played the tune of “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he heard the bullpen phone ring from the dugout.

“I think everybody was real careful about what they said from the dugout because everybody on the field could hear it, the umpires and them,” he said.

The empty stands would have been a foul ball collectors dream.

Perry Saurers was able to leave his mitt at home.

He didn’t have to worry about dropping his popcorn or spilling a beer trying to catch a foul ball when it zipped his way,

either.

Saurers, a police officer from Howard County who was helping the Orioles authenticate memorabilia from the historic game, leisurely walked after loose baseballs that had rolled under the green seats or were resting in the concrete walkways. He was collecting the souvenirs most fans dream of snagging at the ballpark.

The baseballs aren’t going to be added to his collection, though. He had to turn them over to MLB’s authentication program.

The Orioles’ souvenir shop was closed. A sign on the door said, “Dear Loyal Orioles Fans Our store is closed today. We will reopen on tomorrow @10:00 AM.” The unrest from the past week wasn’t forgotten. Out-

side Camden Yards, Brendan Hurson carried a sign that read, “Don’t Forget Freddie Gray,” with the O’s in the shape of the Orioles’ logo.

He wished the Orioles let fans into the park.

“It would have been a nice chance to show the world that we are a city that’s going to move forward from this. Not move on, but move forward. And they blew it.”

The fans who hunkered beyond the fence went wild when Davis went deep in the first inning — because just like the ball, they were outta here.

“I’ll take any home run I can get at any time I can get it,” he said, “but it’s definitely more fun where there are fans in the stands.”

Bob Baffert has top 2 early favorites for Kentucky Derby

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bob Baffert clapped his hands to his mouth when early 5-2 favorite American Pharoah avoided the dreaded No. 1 post for the Kentucky Derby. The anxiety wasn’t over yet.

He still had to wait to find out where Dortmund would end up. Thankfully for Baffert, it was the No. 8 spot for the 3-1 second choice. American Pharoah got the No. 18 hole.

“I did not like the way it was playing out. I just couldn’t believe they hadn’t called one of my horses,” Baffert said. “A lot of the holes were being taken that I sort of like, and then I was really relieved to get 18 so I was happy with that.”

The far inside spot was the last to be filled Wednesday. Ocho Ocho Ocho ended up there.

Baffert offered some advice to Jim Cassidy, who trains Ocho Ocho Ocho.

“Start drinking heavily early,” the white-haired trainer joked.

Baffert should know.

Lookin At Lucky, the favorite in the 2010 Derby, broke from the No. 1 spot and was wiped out almost immediately. He ended up sixth.

The rail is considered a serious disadvantage because the other 19 horses immediately begin angling toward the inside out of the gate, creating a potential traffic jam.

“The one-hole is just the one that you feared,” said Kiaran McLaughlin, who trains 15-1 shot Frosted.

With only two openings remaining, four-time Derby winner D. Wayne Lukas pumped his first when Mr. Z landed in the No. 17

Trainer Bob Baffert and his wife Jill watch horses train on the track at Churchill Downs Wednesday in Louisville, Ky. post, avoiding the rail.

“I love it,” he said.

Ocho Ocho Ocho is among four horses at 50-1, along with Keen Ice, War Story and Mr. Z. American Pharoah comes into the Derby on a four-race winning streak, including an eight-length victory in the Arkansas Derby. Only one horse has won from the No. 18 post, Gato Del Sol in 1982.

“I’m extremely happy.

I love 18. Not like, love,” owner Ahmed Zayat said.

“He’s outside in the clear.

He can do whatever he wants. He can sit and watch. The jock has so many options. That’s the best post.”

The No. 8 spot has produced eight winners, most recently 50-1 stunner Mine That Bird in 2009.

Dortmund will put his 6-0 record on the line in the 1 1/4-mile race Saturday at Churchill Downs.

“I’m just glad it’s over,” Baffert said. “It’s probably the last stressful part of the whole Derby. We have the holes and hopefully our name will be hanging up there in the winner’s spot.”

Blue Grass winner Carpe

Diem, one of Pletcher’s four entries, is the 8-1 third choice from the No. 2 post.

“There were limited numbers left,” Pletcher said.

“We’ll go with it. What else can we do? My confidence has not changed at all.”

Another Pletcher horse, Florida Derby winner Materiality, and Sunland Derby winner Firing Line are co-fourth choices at 12-1 odds. His other horses are even longer shots: Itsaknockout and Stanford, both 30-1.

American Pharoah, Dortmund and Carpe Diem were the only horses listed at single digits by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia. Favorites have won the last two years, with California Chrome last year and Orb in 2013.

Louisiana Derby winner International Star drew the No. 12 post is 20-1. UAE Derby winner Mubtaahij drew the six hole and is listed at 20-1.

Far Right will have the most ground to make up out of the far outside No. 20 post under jockey Mike Smith.

Review: Little-known Facebook Navigator is apps might remain just that big luxury ride

NEW YORK (AP) — You probably already use Facebook on your phone, along with its Messenger app for chatting with Facebook friends. You might also have Instagram and WhatsApp, two services Facebook bought in recent years.

Not content with those successes, Facebook wants to be an even bigger part of your mobile life. So far, its Creative Labs division has churned out seven little-known apps that extend existing Facebook features or try to compete with popular apps such as Snapchat — the difference being that Facebook’s version hasn’t been all that popular.

Nonetheless, Facebook is unlikely to give up.

With Creative Labs, the 11-year-old tech behemoth is able to function more like a nimble startup. That means some apps might flop, but Facebook gets to embrace its now-retired catchphrase “move fast and break things.”

Here’s a look at four of Facebook’s home-grown apps — and who might need them:

of Facebook friends in common. It also makes it easy to block unwanted calls. If a number is blocked by a lot of people, the call will automatically go to your voicemail.

When you make the call, you’re still going through regular channels — your normal phone app for cellular calls (which will eat up your minutes), or an app such as Messenger or TextNow for Wi-Fi and data calls.

Think of Hello as Facebook’s overlay for your various calling apps. The person you’re calling doesn’t need Hello, but won’t get the additional information and blocking capabilities without it.

You can also search for local shops, bars or eateries and call the business through Hello. While this can be helpful, it’s probably not enough to justify yet another app on your phone.

Whom it’s for: People who use disposable phones and want to appear to those they are calling with a constant caller ID — as in their Facebook profile. Anyone with limited voice minutes who wants to screen unwanted calls. Probably not you — especially if you have an iPhone. Unlike the others, Hello is for Android only.

Hello

Sure, every phone comes with the ability to make calls. Now, you can do that through Facebook’s Hello app. The idea is to give you more information about who’s calling, such as the number

Mentions

Not wanting to fall

behind Twitter when it comes to celebrities, Facebook designed Mentions with them in mind. The app lets bold-face names such as Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Lopez connect with fans.

Regular folks like you can’t download or use Mentions. But if you follow celebrities’ Facebook pages, you can see their updates, photos, videos and public chat sessions.

Celebrities can also use Mentions to post on Instagram and Twitter.

Whom it’s for: Beyonce.

Groups

About half of Facebook’s 1.44 billion members belong to one or more groups on the site.

Groups can be completely public, open by invitation only or “secret,” such that they wouldn’t even appear in a search unless you’re already in the group.

These groups let people connect based on a hobby, a genetic disorder, a geographic location or simply the love of a band.

The Groups app brings together various group features so you don’t have to dig around the main Facebook app on your phone. You can manage existing groups or find new ones, based on recommendations or searches. You can also create shortcuts to your favorite groups on your phone’s home screen. As with the

main Facebook app, you can use Groups to discuss topics or plan events.

Whom it’s for: Highly organized, on-the-go individuals who want to easily keep tabs on the many Facebook groups they belong to. Your aspirational self.

Slingshot

Facebook was unsuccessful in buying Snapchat, the disappearing-message app popular with teenagers and millennials. Facebook’s answer is Slingshot. Both are simple to use, but neither will work without other friends using it, so it helps if you’re in with the hip young crowd.

Slingshot is intended to make photo-sharing more reciprocal than simply throwing pictures up on Facebook or sending them over instant messaging. When you get a photo from a friend, you can “react” by sending a response photo of your own.

Photos here disappear, too, but only after 24 hours, rather than the few seconds that Snapchat gives you once you view it.

You can also swipe them away more quickly, as you would a dating rejection on Tinder.

Whom it’s for: Teenagers with selfie-sticks.

Facebook employees.

starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price for a 2015 Navigator with fourwheel drive is $66,490.

By comparison, the 2015 Cadillac Escalade has a starting MSRP of $73,965 for a base, two-wheel drive model with 420-horsepower V-8 mated to an eight-speed, automatic transmission. And the 2015 Lexus LX 570 starts at $84,105 with standard full-time all-wheel drive and 383 horsepower.

The Navigator, which was introduced in the late 1990s, has seen a recent resurgence in U.S. sales.

Calendar 2014 sales totaled 10,433, a 21 percent boost from 2013.

The bargain starting price makes an impression, especially when all the standard features and the size of the vehicle are factored in.

A sizable, 8-inch display screen in the middle of the dashboard projects great views from the standard rearview camera.

A leather- and woodtrimmed steering wheel also is standard, as are the lighted Lincoln brand logos projected onto the ground next to the vehicle when the unlock button is pushed on the key fob.

Other standard amenities include heated and cooled, power-adjustable, front seats; navigation system; high-definition radio; split, 60/40, power-operated, third-row seats that fold down with the touch of a button; power liftgate; reverse and forward sensing system which sounds a warning when the car is too close to an object; conversation mirror to keep track of back-seat passengers; and power running boards on the sides to help passengers enter and exit.

Many shoppers may be wary of a 6,000-pluspound SUV that’s powered by a V-6. But the new Navigator puts doubts to rest with its ready power and strong acceleration.

Michael Brown.

Another factor, Dunham said, was “continuing issues we saw with journalists having trouble accessing information from the Obama administration, on and off the record.”

From the global perspective, Freedom House said press freedom faced increased pressure from newly passed or more heavily enforced laws.

AP — For a distinctive, luxury sport utility ride on a large scale, buyers need only to look to the 2015 Lincoln Navigator.

The new Navigator is the only full-size, luxury 2015 SUV sold in the United States solely with a V-6 — a twin-turbocharged V-6, to be exact.

Don’t fret. The six cylinder produces more horsepower — 383 — than last year’s Navigator with its 310-horsepower V-8.

The new EcoBoost powerplant also is designed to improve fuel efficiency by some 2 miles per gallon in both city and highway travel over the 2014 Navigator.

Styling has been gracefully revamped inside and out. Gone is the gaudy grille that looked like a mouthful of braces. A more respectable and tasteful split-wing Lincoln grille takes its place, accented by pretty light-emitting diodes.

Inside, the Navigator gets premium trim and upgrades to the Sync with MyLincoln Touch communication and control system.

All the while, the 2015 Navigator remains very much a truck-based SUV with considerably more third-row legroom than a Cadillac Escalade and more towing capacity — up to 9,000 pounds — than a Lexus LX 570.

Best of all, the 2015 Navigator in both rear- and four-wheel drive earned five out of five stars from the federal government in frontal and side crash testing.

The 2015 Navigator is something of a bargain in the large, luxury SUV segment, undercutting the competition. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $62,915 for a base, 2015 Navigator with rear-wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmission. The lowest

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I'm 45, employed and earning plenty of money. I'm in a great relationship, my kids and grandkids are healthy and happy, and my parents are alive and well. I enjoy the small things in life, fishing, reading, the beach, mini vacations, bowling, etc. I raise funds to feed the homeless.

So what's my problem, you ask? Abby, I'm not really sure what my purpose is in life or if the way my life is, is normal.

I feel content -- even happy at times -- but I'm troubled because it seems a lot of people

do the exact opposite of what I am doing and they all have a purpose. Some of them are going to school, raising kids, having relationship problems, money issues, etc. They seem to be doing so much, and I feel like I'm doing so little.

What is normal for my age?

Should I be doing more? Most times I feel happy, but on a day like today I feel unfulfilled. Do I need to do more?

WHAT IS NORMAL? DEAR WHAT: Doing so little? Count your blessings! You hold a job, have a family I presume you regularly interact with, have a great relationship, hobbies you enjoy and contribute to those who have less than you. I would say you are productive and successful.

However, if YOU think you need to do more, then it's possible you do. Take some time, decide what it is and reallocate your time if you feel you need something more to fulfill you. But please stop measuring

Comics yourself by anyone else's yardstick because people who do that are rarely happy.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I fell in love with "Alex" during my last year of college.

We had known each other for 18 months. One month before our wedding, he broke up with me. He says I was verbally abusive.

I admit I had anger issues.

I had to plan most of the wedding alone because we were four hours apart. When we argued, he would say one thing and then something different later. He would also tell his mom stuff about me and our relationship that I considered private. After the breakup, I found out he had lied to me about his religion.

I had a hard time with the breakup. I tried hard to reconcile or find solutions, but he rejected all of them. Now he's blaming me and throwing things in my face.

I am heartbroken and

Thursday, April 30, 2015

depressed. I don't know if I should be mad at him for the lies and the heartache he has caused me, or mad at myself for messing up. I have lost my confidence and self-esteem. What do I do?

STILL IN LOVE DEAR STILL IN LOVE: Take off the rose-colored glasses for a moment and consider what the reality of a marriage to Alex would have been like. You would have had a mama's boy for a husband, one you couldn't count on to tell the truth and who blamed you for anything that went wrong.

Don't you realize you dodged a bullet? If things had turned out differently, you'd be writing me as an unhappy wife, probably with children to support.

Let it go, get help for your anger issues and don't waste more time brooding. There are times it is better that we don't get the things we wish for, and this may be one of them.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: If you own an automobile and drive more than just a few miles daily, when was the last time you checked the TIRES? Many readers know that the tires on a vehicle are important for getting to and from places, but may not know how important tires are in keeping you safe.

A favorite topic to gritch about is potholes. I know, boring! I agree.

However, there probably are millions of these devilish little (and very BIG) holes in roads all over the United States. The odds of you encountering a few are, well, let's just say it's a good bet you will bump, bump and trump on most drives. Here are some things to keep in mind to limit damage to tires and vehicle: * Tires need to be inflated to the correct pressure in order to perform safely. * Keep an eye on the road ahead of you so you can try to avoid a pothole, or at least do your best to minimize the damage caused by having to drive over one. * A wet road can hide a pothole, small or large, so don't just zip along. If you can't avoid driving over one, slowing down will help prevent major damage.

Oh yes, and lastly, your tires will last longer! Saves money!

Dear Heloise: Remind your readers to check the Internet for crime statistics in the area if they are looking for a new home. Also check the statistics for your current home.

Caroline in Santa Ana, Calif.

There is a lot of information on the Internet that is useful! When looking for a home, check out the area. Feel safe where you live now?

Check statistics for the amount of crime that happens where you live.

Can't get to a computer? Call your police station, or the reference desk at your library, and they can help you. Think safe, play safe, be safe.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: A surefire way to get food spots and stains out of fabrics is simple: Wet the item and lay it out in bright sunshine for two hours. Works for me 100 percent of the time, even on tablecloths! -- Bon in Omaha, Neb. Bon, this is a good "older" hint that may or may not work today.

Many white fabrics today are manufactured with an optical brightener that can turn yellow with too much exposure to bright light. And Mother Nature, with her bright sunlight, can fade colors also. Just ask anyone who has a home near a beach.

Blue cushions on chairs that sit outside fade over time. BIG-TIME, too!

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: The zipper on my pants is difficult to pull up. I fasten a small, stainless-steel pin to the pull tab.

This makes it easier to pull up.

Also, with cosmetics bags, I fasten a key ring to the zipper tab. Easier to open and close.

Aid begins arriving in Nepal’s remote quake-hit villages

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The first supplies of food aid began reaching remote, earthquake-shattered mountain villages in Nepal on Wednesday, while thousands clamored to board buses out of Kathmandu, either to check on rural relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged capital.

Frustration over the slow delivery of humanitarian aid boiled over in a protest in the city, with about 200 people facing off with police and blocking traffic.

The protest was comparatively small and no demonstrators were detained.

But it reflected growing anger over bottlenecks that delayed much-needed relief four days after the powerful earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people, injured twice that many and left tens of thousands homeless. Police, meanwhile, arrested dozens of people on suspicion of looting or causing panic by spreading rumors of another big quake.

Helicopters finally brought food, temporary shelter and other aid to hamlets north of Kathmandu in the mountainous Gorkha District near the epicenter of Saturday’s

Nepalese villagers salvage items from a house destroyed by Saturday’s earthquake in Sakhu, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, Wednesday.

Program warned that it will take time for food and other supplies to reach more remote communities that have been cut off by landslides.

“More helicopters, more personnel and certain-

ly more relief supplies, including medical teams, shelter, tents, water, sanitation and food, are obviously needed,” said the program’s Geoff Pinnock, who was coordinating the flights.

With more than 8 million Nepalese affected by the earthquake, including 1.4 million who need immediate food assistance, Pinnock said the effort would continue for months.

President Barack Obama called Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and discussed U.S. military and civilian efforts already underway to help Nepal, the White House said.

Police said the official death toll in Nepal had reached 5,266 as of late Wednesday. That figure did not include the 19 people killed at Mount Everest — five foreign climbers and 14 Nepalese Sherpa guides — when the quake unleashed an avalanche at base camp.

At least 210 foreign trekkers and residents stranded in the Lantang area north of Kathmandu had been rescued, government administrator Gautam Rimal said. The area, which borders Tibet, is popular with tourists.

7.8-magnitude quake.

Entire clusters of homes there were reduced to piles of stone and splintered wood. Women greeted the delivery with repeated cries of “We are hungry!”

While the death toll in

the village of Gumda was low — only five people were killed and 20 were injured among 1,300 residents — most had lost their homes and desperately needed temporary shelter, along with the 40-kilogram (90-

pound) sacks of rice that were delivered Wednesday.

Adding to residents’ misery was the rain that has fallen periodically since the quake and hampered helicopter aid flights.

The U.N. World Food

was needed before their identities could be determined.

“The processing is continuing, it involves a lot of things because most of them are traumatized and you have got to put them in a psychological frame of mind to extract information from them,” Usman said.

A counselor who has treated other women freed from Boko Haram captivity said some had become indoctrinated into believing the group’s Islamic extremist ideology, while others had established strong emotional attachments to militants they had been forced to marry.

Some of the about 90 women and girls freed by the army four months ago in Yobe state, for example, had upset their community on their return

by maintaining that the militants were good people who had treated them well, said the counselor, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he has been targeted by the militants in the past.

“The trauma suffered by the (abducted) women and girls is truly horrific,” said Amnesty International’s Africa director for research and advocacy, Netsanet Belay. “Some have been repeatedly raped, sold into sexual slavery or indoctrinated and even forced to fight for Boko Haram.”

That is what appeared to have happened this week when the Nigerian military said troops rescued the women and girls while destroying four Boko Haram camps in the Sambisa Forest.

In this file photo taken Wednesday, Nigerian Soldiers man a check point in Gwoza, Nigeria, a town newly liberated from Boko Haram.

Girls, women rescued from Boko Haram need psychological care

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Some of the nearly 300 girls and women freed by Nigeria’s military from the forest stronghold of Boko Haram were so transformed by their captivity that they opened fire on their rescuers, and experts said Wednesday they would need intensive psychological treatment.

The military was flying in medical and intelligence teams to evaluate the former captives, many of whom were severely traumatized, said army spokesman Col. Sani Usman.

He said earlier that none of the schoolgirls kidnapped from the northeastern town of Chibok a year ago appeared to be among the 200 girls and 93 women rescued Tuesday. But on Wednesday he said further screening
