Vargas murder suspect still at large

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

A Roswell man wanted on a murder warrant and considered dangerous allegedly killed Stormy Joel Vargas in retaliation for a murder that occurred just two days earlier at a Roswell bar in October 2013, court records state.

Chaves County authorities on April 29 issued a warrant for the arrest of Steve Guardado on an open count of murder.

According to authorities, Guardado, 27, aka “Panson” and “Gordo,” shot Vargas, 22, once in the head the night of Oct. 25, 2013, after luring Vargas outside his home at 614 E. Cherry St. in Roswell.

Police: Vargas and Oaxaca murders connected

Police are seeking the public’s help in finding Guardado, who has ties to San Jose, Calif. Police said Guardado hastily left Roswell shortly after Vargas’ murder.

Guardado, also known as Steven Gonzalez Guardado, was described as 5-feet-11inches tall, weighing about 280 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Investigators obtained a warrant for Guardado’s arrest last week after a long investigation of the October 2013 murder of Vargas.

“We’d always like things to move faster, but in many cases, it can often be a

Law enforcement trains for possible active-shooter event Submitted by RPD Members of the Roswell Police Department were among multiple law enforcement, fire and medical personnel who participated in a mock exercise Tuesday to train for a response to an active-shooter, mass-casualty situation at the New Mexico Military Institute.

painstaking, lengthy process in gathering evidence and tracking down key witnesses,” Roswell Police Department Public Information Officer Todd Wildermuth said Wednesday.

“We’re glad that we were now able to get an arrest warrant for Mr. Guardado, who could be anywhere, so it is very important that anyone who knows anything about his whereabouts share that information with our investigators by contacting the police department or Crime Stoppers. We want to get what we believe to be a dangerous man into custody.”

Anyone with information about Guardado’s whereabouts was asked to call the Roswell Police Department at 575-624-6770 or Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-8477.

According to a criminal complaint, Guardado shot and killed Vargas in retaliation for the fatal shooting of Victor Oaxaca Jr. that occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2013, outside Variety Liquor and Lounge at 1100 W. Second St. in Roswell.

Christopher M. Trujillo, 26, was sentenced last week in Fifth Judicial District Court to eight years

in prison on voluntary manslaughter and firearm charges for the murder of the 25-year-old Oaxaca.

Trujillo’s sentence was enhanced by Fifth Judicial District Judge Freddie Romero because Trujillo is a habitual offender and prior felon. Trujillo also received credit for 540 days served in the Chaves County Detention Center following his arrest.

According to a 19-page criminal complaint charging Guardado with Vargas’ murder, Guardado shot and killed Vargas at about 7:38 p.m. Oct. 25, 2013, because Guardado

Guardado believed Vargas had set up Oaxaca to be killed outside Variety Liquor and Lounge the night of Oct. 23, 2013.

One school, Nancy Lopez Elementary, will do the event on May 12. The purpose of the event is to encourage kids to walk or bike to school to get more physical activity. Each school picks a spot for the kids to meet and they walk or bike to school together. Pictured are Military Heights Elementary students walking to school yesterday morning.

Technically the rules state the students are the one who have to do the walking or bike riding, but this young man decided to be a little different and ride his horse to El Capitan Elementary School. But then they say horseback riding is good exercise.

State Briefs Senators support $12hour minimum wage

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico’s two Democratic senators are throwing their support behind legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage to $12 by 2020.

Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich said Wednesday that if the legislation were to pass and be signed into law, nearly 38 million workers would see an increase in wages.

last week, the bill would raise the minimum wage for tipped workers and index the federal minimum wage to the national median wage.

Many states and cities have already acted on their own to raise wages. But critics say some businesses have trouble affording higher wages without raising prices.

Udall and Heinrich argue that raising the wage would put more money in the pockets of New Mexican families and that in turn would boost local economies.

SANTA FE (AP) — Robert Redford is sounding an environmental alarm, telling

was in the bar with Oaxaca prior to the shooting and that Vargas drove Oaxaca to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center after Trujillo shot Oaxaca.

Oaxaca died at the hospital after sustaining two gunshot wounds, one in his back and one in the back of his thigh, after Trujillo fired four .40-caliber shots outside the bar. Oaxaca had tattoos consistent with gang membership in Chicago.

Witnesses said Guardado showed up at Vargas’ home the night of Oct. 25, 2013, and knocked on the front door. Vargas went outside to talk to Guardado and was shot once in the head within 30 seconds of stepping outside, court records state.

Police said a spent 9 mm shell casing was found in the front yard of Vargas’ home. Police also recovered a shotgun, handgun and five cellphones from Vargas’ home, enabling investigators to piece together a timeline of events leading up to Vargas’ murder.

Police also searched the car of a 17-year-old girl who arrived at Vargas’ home shortly before the murder. Police said $801, a knife and a glass pipe were found in her car.

Police said a suspicious car had been seen near Vargas’ home after the shooting and was also seen circling the hospital the night of Oaxaca’s murder.

The black Chrysler 300 with a large sticker on its rear window was tied to Guardado, court records state.

A confidential source for the FBI said Vargas attempted to help Oaxaca as Oaxaca was dying from his gunshot wounds.

However, Guardado believed Vargas was complicit in Oaxaca’s murder.

Police said Guardado and Vargas were at Oaxaca’s home on Oct. 24, 2013, when Vargas told Oaxaca’s family what happened the night earlier at Variety Liquor and Lounge.

Dolphus convicted ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — An Albuquerque man faces up to 19.5 years in prison after being convicted of child pornography.

The state Attorney General’s Office said District Judge Judith Nakamura on Tuesday convicted 50-year-old Thomas Dolphus of one count of possessing visual medium of sexual exploitation of children and two counts of manufacturing visual medium of sexual exploitation of children.

The Attorney General’s Office said investigators from that office and the Albuquerque Police Department found Dolphus had thousands of images of children doing sexual acts.

However, Attorney General Hector Balderas said a 2014 New Mexico Supreme Court ruling in another child pornography case required the multiple counts of possession in Dolphus’ case be reduced to one.

Dolphus will be sentenced Sept. 9.

Mayor Javier Gonzales that the world is changing and “opportunities are shrinking.”

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports Redford spoke during a one-on-one session with Gonzales Tuesday that packed the audience at a performing arts center.

Redford said it’s difficult to combat the idea perpetuated by energy companies that cost savings related to coal, drilling and fracking take priority over finding ways to avoid ripping up the Earth.

Young people, he said, will drive the change.

The actor owns a home in Santa Fe, and said he sees New Mexico as a state that can balance energy development and natural resources.

He chose Santa Fe, he said, because of its land, sky and history combining Anglo, Native American and

Mexican cultures.

“After Stormy left Victor’s residence, Gordo informed the rest of the family that there was something very suspicious about Stormy and felt that Stormy set Victor up to be killed,” the confidential source told investigators. “On Friday, Oct. 25, 2013, Gordo traveled to Stormy’s residence, knocked on the front door and when Stormy answered the door, Gordo shot Stormy in the face.”

Police said Vargas had been shot once on the right side of his forehead.

The confidential source also said the 17-year-old girl was in the car with Guardado the night Vargas was shot.

A U.S. marshal told investigators Guardado, formerly of 1206 S. Missouri Ave., hastily packed up after Vargas’ killing. Occupants of Guardado’s home were seen loading a U-Haul during the night, police said.

Investigators said Guardado was employed at Roswell’s Wal-Mart, but did not call his employer to say he was suddenly moving out of town.

Detectives met with Guardado before he left Roswell.

“Detective (Albert) Aldana then asked him why he was leaving town,” court records state. “He advised that he was leaving in the morning. Detective (Richard) Romero asked Steve if he has notified his work.

Steve said he was going to and thought maybe they could transfer him, but that he doubts it.”

“Detective Aldana asked Steve if he killed Stormy, he denied killing him. Steve said he had no reason for it. He stated he did not know who did.”

After the interview was finished, Guardado was free to leave.

Police also executed a search warrant of the U-Haul. Police said a 9 mm Luger, the same handgun brand and caliber as the casing located at the scene of Vargas’ murder, was found inside the U-Haul.

Investigators obtained more information in January 2014 when they were

told a woman had additional information about Vargas’ murder. When interviewed, the woman said Guardado had told her that he had shot Vargas, court records state.

In May 2014, more information was obtained when a man told police that Vargas, Guardado and others had been at his house discussing Oaxaca’s murder.

The man said they believed Vargas had set up Oaxaca’s murder at the bar.

Also in May 2014, police spoke with Eustacio “Tacho” Rios, who admitted being in the car with Guardado the night of Vargas’ murder.

Rios told police he and Guardado went to get a bottle of liquor when Guardado got a telephone call.

Rios said Guardado replied, “I’ll be there.”

Rios said he asked the men in the car where they were going.

“He said the guy told him he had to make a stop real quick,” court records state.

Rios said they stopped at a home and Guardado shot Vargas. Guardado ran back to the car and said, “Let’s go get a bottle,” Rios told police.

In June 2014, detectives met again with Rios, Oaxaca’s uncle, at the Aurora Police Department in Illinois.

Rios reiterated witnessing Guardado kill Vargas. “(Rios) said he was looking around and turned towards them when he heard ‘You (expletive) up,’” court records state. “He said that is when he saw Stormy get shot.”

Rios said the men then went to his sister’s house.

“He said that people started yelling and Panson was telling people he had did it because Stormy was lying,” court records state.

Rios identified Guardado as Vargas’ killer from a photo lineup, police said.

Rios said Guardado said he wanted to kill another man, also a friend of Oaxaca’s.

Mother arrested following son’s death

CLOVIS (AP) — A 25-yearold Clovis mother has been arrested in the death of her 18-month-old son.

Clovis police say Rocio D. Montanez was arrested late Monday after an investigation was launched when she took her unresponsive son, Noah Trujillo, to a hospital Monday morning with multiple injuries that a doctor reported to police as suspicious.

Efforts to revive the boy were unsuccessful and he died a short time later.

Police said the state Office of the Medical Investigator will do an autopsy to determine manner and cause of death.

Montanez was booked into the Curry County jail

Brothers plead guilty for tax evasion

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Three brothers who own a billiards hall in New Mexico have pleaded guilty in a federal tax evasion case.

Prosecutors say 51-yearold Hrant Kostanian, 59-year-old Gayk Kostanian and 55-year-old Hrair Kostanian conspired to evade federal income taxes by maintaining false books and records and filing false tax returns.

The brothers all are naturalized U.S. citizens from Armenia and own Billiards

Thursday, May 7, 2015 Palace in northeast Albuquerque.

They were indicted last September on one count of conspiracy and four counts of tax evasion.

Prosecutors say the three men evaded about $263,600 in corporate taxes during tax years 2007 through 2010.

Each of the Kostanian brothers faces up to five years in federal prison when they’re sentenced and will have to jointly pay full restitution to the Internal Revenue Service.

Talks break down over lab’s benefits

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — Talks between the security workers who protect Los Alamos National Laboratory and the subcontractor that employs them have broken down.

Union officials announced

A3

Wednesday that their negotiating team walked out after learning that security company SOC-Los Alamos did not have the ability to deliver better retirement benefits it had promised the union it would pursue.

Union agent Chris Mandril accused the company of negotiating in bad faith.

He said the union has learned SOC doesn’t have the authority to work directly with federal officials to set contract terms.

The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The talks have been ongoing since January.

In April, the two sides agreed to a 60-day extension, meaning the security force would continue working as normal. That extension expires in June.

Changing the face of health care; Will it be better?

Whatever you think of Obamacare, the U.S. healthcare system before Obamacare was a mess. Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, is an attempt to straighten it out. So said Dr. Michael Richards, speaking to the New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Association. Richards is executive physician in chief of UNM Health Systems — one of the leaders responsible for moving New Mexico’s healthcare system into the new century.

As Richards spoke, the doctor sitting next to me was muttering.

This transformation is going to be hard on doctors, especially those in private practice.

The problem, as we hear often, is that the United States spends more than twice as much per patient as other advanced countries, but our outcomes are worse, our error rates are among the highest, and alarming numbers of Americans have little or no access to services.

The ACA addresses three goals,

Merilee

Dannemann Triple Spaced Richards said. These goals conflict with each other, so regulatory processes are needed to keep them in balance.

First is insurance reform, especially to improve access by abolishing the limits for people with pre-existing conditions. This is good for those patients but it adds cost to an already costly system.

Cost control is essential.

Sobering numbers: According to Richards, in New Mexico, for those insured through the new exchanges, the average cost per patient is $6,181 per year. The average premium, after subsidies, is $120 per month. By sim-

ple math, that’s $1,440 per year, which means $4,741 is being paid by someone other than the consumer — you and me, one way or another.

Richards projects a gradual shift from the current fee-forservice model to a “capitation” model, in which the primary care physician gets a certain amount of money per patient. This changes the doctor’s incentives: He will want to save money by avoiding errors and unnecessary procedures. The change also burdens the doctor with variables outside his control, like the patient’s lifestyle choices. No wonder my doctor friend was muttering.

The third goal is quality and outcomes — measuring results.

When these three goals intersect, doctors in private practice will want to look good by being able to report success. Therefore they will prefer to avoid treating the sickest patients who need services the most. Those patients will increasingly rely on public

facilities like UNM. Richards predicts New Mexico’s regional hospitals will increase their focus on urgent care and outpatient treatment, leaving complicated medical care to centralized facilities like UNM. That looks logical; expertise, specialization and high-tech machinery will be concentrated in one centralized location.

The presentation didn’t address other aspects of this systemic change, like the role of medical liability, the logistics of transporting patients, or the inefficiencies in how the system is financed.

These and other factors will affect New Mexicans’ access to healthcare, especially in the smaller communities.

But if capitation is really the future of health care, what will we need insurance companies for?

In the current system, the insurance company is the instrument of cost control, especially under managed care. While

insurers today have less control over whom they will cover, they still have significant control over what services they cover and how much they pay.

Insurance companies are also the risk-takers. They absorb the risk of covering high-cost patients by also insuring healthy patients.

In a capitated system, the primary care provider gets a fixed amount of money per patient and has to determine how to allocate it. That sure looks like risk management to me.

If we’re really moving in the direction Richards predicts, the dividing line between the insurer and the primary care provider becomes rather fuzzy. The new hybrid looks a lot like a combination of medical group practice and insurance company. We’re only beginning to find out what that approach will do to quality and outcomes.

U.S. economy still limping along The nation’s real gross domestic product in the first quarter of this year grew by a disappointing 0.2 percent annual rate, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Wednesday.

Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, attributed the economy’s underwhelming performance to “notably harsh winter weather” during the first three months of 2015.

Of course, the nation has experienced harsh winter weather in years past — including, notably, 1987 and 1969, when the Northeast endured three separate snowstorms.

But unlike the first quarter of this year, when the U.S. economy barely grew, the economy in the first quarter of 1987 expanded by 2.8 percent and by a robust 6.4 percent in 1969.

Some have gone so far as to wonder whether the negligible uptick in GDP during the first three months of 2015 “suggests a longstanding problem of under-reporting Q1 expansion,” as CNBC reported.

Well, maybe BEA’s seasonal adjustment of quarterly GDP is off by a tenth of a percentage point or two. That doesn’t change the fact that the economic recovery that began in 2009 is the weakest during the post-World War II era.

Indeed, last June, the five-year anniversary of the current recovery, Pew Research Center compared it with the first five years of other long postwar expansions.

The U.S. economy grew by 35.4 percent during the 1960s “go-go” years; 27.7 percent during the 1980s Reagan recovery; 16.7 percent during the 1990s tech boom; 15.8 percent during the new-millennium 2000s; and 10.8 percent during the Obama recovery.

And that doesn’t tell the entire story.

Real per-capita growth in disposable income since the so-called Great Recession ended in 2009 is not even a third of what it was during the previous four economic expansions. And job creation during the Obama recovery is worse than during all but one postwar recovery.

That explains why, nearly six years into the current recovery, the majority of Americans still have a negative view of economic conditions, according to Gallup.

The hope here is that GDP will improve in the second quarter to the point that public perception of the economy brightens.

The Pope embraces the religion of global warming Perhaps you missed the Vatican-sponsored symposium on climate change held in Rome on April 28. It was a busy news day. The earthquake killed thousands in Nepal and riots broke out in Baltimore.

The one-day “Protect the Earth, Dignify Humanity” conference, according to Bloomberg Business, “brought together more than 150 accomplished scientists and spiritual leaders from more than a dozen faiths.” The summit served as a teaser of what to expect next month when it is predicted that the Vatican will release a papal encyclical on the “human ecology” — the first time a Catholic leader has dedicated an entire encyclical to environmental issues.

In its reporting on the daylong event, The Financial Times (FT) cites Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, who the newspaper calls “a member of the

Marita Noon Columnist pope’s inner circle” and who wrote an early draft of the encyclical, as saying: “Today, the ever-accelerating burning of fossil fuels that powers our economic engine is disrupting the earth’s delicate ecological balance on an almost unfathomable scale.” (Note: as I wrote regarding the Deepwater Horizon, the earth is far more resilient than many believed.) The FT refers to Turkson’s statement as “a sign that Pope Francis will aggressively push for climate action.” Turkson also “suggested it was a sin for

‘humans to degrade the integrity of earth by causing changes in its climate.’”

But there is concern that Pope Francis is focused too much on politics and not enough on faith, as those who are shaping his views veer from widely accepted biblical truths.

Addressing the dilemma, Bloomberg Business states: “The Encyclical is expected to insert the pope into an American political problem.”

In teaching his followers how to identify other true believers, Jesus Christ, in Matthew 7:16, states: “You will know them by their fruits.” Then 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 warns the followers of Christ: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” A more modern version, states: “You are

not the same as those who do not believe. So do not join yourselves to them. Good and bad do not belong together. Light and darkness cannot share together.”

Following the summit, the Pontifical Academy of Science released a declaration that states: “The Catholic Church working with the leadership of other religions…” The listed authors include known abortion advocate Jeffrey Sachs.

Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General and a supporter of abortion, also addressed the Vatican conference.

While the Catholic church, and all of Christianity in general, support life, one has to wonder why the Vatican would invite “darkness” in to advise it on climate change. While the abortion issue is one point See NOON, Page A5

Abnormal menstrual bleeding can have several causes DEAR DOCTOR K: My periods used to be pretty regular. But for the past few months, I’ve been spotting all month long. Why is this happening?

DEAR READER: There are many possible explanations.

Fortunately, few of them can turn into serious problems.

Before talking about the causes of abnormal bleeding from the uterus, it’s worth reviewing the menstrual cycle.

Normally, the cycle is triggered by signals from sex hormones. Hormones made in the brain travel to the ovaries, leading to the production of other hormones by the ovaries: estrogen and progesterone. But sometimes the cycle’s hormonal signals get thrown off. Irregular bleeding, including alternat-

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate ing periods that are heavy and light, spotting, or shorter and longer cycles, can result.

In the first half of the menstrual cycle, levels of the female hormone estrogen start to rise. Among its many functions, estrogen stimulates the making of the inner lining of the uterus.

This endometrial lining is the blood-enriched layer of tissue that grows inside the uterus every month to prepare for

a possible pregnancy. While the lining is growing, an egg in one of the ovaries starts to mature. Midway through the monthly cycle, the egg leaves the ovary. This is called ovulation.

The egg travels from the ovary down a tube (the oviduct) to the uterus. If the egg is fertilized, it lands in the uterine lining, where it begins to grow. If the egg is not fertilized, hormone levels drop. As a result, the thickened lining of the uterus is shed during the menstrual period. This prepares the uterus to form a new and fresh inner lining a month later.

Irregular bleeding can happen for a number of reasons.

In teenagers, for example, following the start of menstruation, cycles may take

a few months or years to become normal. That’s often because hormone levels aren’t yet sufficient to keep the endometrial lining growing. As a result, parts of the blood-enriched lining separate from the uterus, then get passed from the uterus to the vagina. Then the pieces of lining get passed out of the vagina, which is when spotting is noticed.

Other factors that can change bleeding patterns include: • Hormonal abnormalities (thyroid problems, for example); • Medications (most commonly, birth control pills and blood thinners like warfarin); • Excessive exercise or weight loss; See DR. K, Page A5

RMAC continues to move forward and improve

By Michael Hall Executive Director As the executive director of the Roswell Museum and Art Center I feel we are making some great strides forward during these busy days. Here are just a few examples. Last month we had one of our best attended family movie features to date. More than 120 patrons enjoyed our Disney Nature Oceans honoring Earth Day week.

The movie brought many new faces into the museum, especially families with children who appreciated the opportunity to have a family activity available in Roswell.

Played on the dome of the Robert H. Goddard Planetarium, the film amazed and awed all in attendance with dramatic tales of

tians” (1961). Then on Saturday at 2 p.m. join ENMU-R Professor Dallas Pollei as the RMAC hosts the classic Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rope” with a discussion of the “Art of Cinematography” in this film.

I get so much positive feedback on all these movies since our curator of education, Claudia Gonzalez, started the series last October.

Claudia will keep pro-

viding these services for our community, and she has plans this summer to introduce many other family activities and new art classes as well which will involve more music and also an experiment with yoga and a crocheting class. Her new art classes have brought happy new faces to our class programs from areas of this city never served before.

As the director, I am also pleased that all of Claudia’s outreach to the schools is paying off because for the first time in a number of years we are getting many school tours now that the testing season is over.

Since the first of April we have averaged at least one to two RISD tours a day. We even have schools from other towns like Arte-

sia, Carlsbad and Portales booked straight through to the end of the school year.

Our K-12 attendance from school tours should top 7,000 this spring season and thank you to our hard working docents who devote so much of their time to our youth! We also thank Superintendent Tom Burris who is such a helpful partner in reaching our community.

Another of our many partnering efforts and yet another honor to Earth Day recently involved innovative handiwork. The RMAC thanks the Roswell Home and Garden Club for planting flowers and beautifying the entrance to the Museum. The planting took place on Earth Day at the direction of Garden Club president Isabel Olsen. We

thank her and all her artistic ladies.

The busy month ended for me and Collections and Exhibits Curator Sara Woodbury and Registrar Laureta Huit with a trip to Santa Fe. We were invited to the Governor’s Mansion to organize a loan of select pieces from the RMAC collection which were personally requested by Gov. Susana Martinez on her recent visit to the RMAC. I will detail more about this loan of artwork for public display soon. This is certainly a tremendous honor for the RMAC and is positive visibility for the City of Roswell.

We were proud to represent Roswell on this project to the state capital. Many more good works are ahead.

of the cotoneaster is mildly toxic (you have to eat a fairly large quantity relative to body weight to get sick). The toxic element was not clearly identified in the material I found, but apple seeds and other plants in the rose family contain cyanogenic glycosides, chemical compounds that release cyanide when in contact with stomach acids. In most cases it takes a fairly large quantity to be toxic to an adult. Children with lower

body weights than adults will exhibit toxicity at lower doses. The fact that the child is doing well suggests that he did not ingest enough to be toxic. One of the symptoms would be stomach problems.

If your friend’s child can be taught that he should not eat the pretty berries (or other parts of this plant) the plant may not need to be removed.

There are many plants grown in landscapes and native environment that

have the potential to cause harm if some parts are any part of the plant is eaten. The range of toxicities, the poisonous parts of the plants and the toxic compounds vary greatly.

Children should be taught not to eat anything without permission. When my son was very young, he loved to eat in the garden when my wife and I were harvesting vegetables. He loved to eat peas, beans, and other fresh vegetable right in the garden, but he was good about not eating things I told him not to eat, even when he was 3 years old.

Because there are so many things in the garden and nearby environment that can be toxic

it may be impossible to remove everything. Education as to what is safe to eat and watching over children in the garden and elsewhere is the best way to provide safety. It may help to provide approved, tasty, edibles that the child is taught are safe to eat. Since some plants are extremely toxic they should be removed or only grown where children will not have access to them when not under the supervision of a knowledgeable adult. The cotoneaster is of low enough toxicity that it should not be a problem unless a child continues to eat its berries. If the child persists in eating things without permission removal of the cotoneaster shrub

and other toxic plants from areas to which the child has access may be necessary.

too: that the earth is to be worked, and that this work and the fruit it bears are also blessed. After all, what is work but the application of human ingenuity and labor to God’s creation to increase God’s bounty?”

One cannot help but admire Pope Francis’ concern for the poor — a totally biblical view. However, the proposed fix for perceived manmade catastrophic climate change (climate change is real and has been happening long before humans burned fossil fuels), the elimination of fossil fuels will create more poor people, not fewer. One of the greatest friends of poor people around the world is carbon based fuels.

Pope Francis is not the first pope to opine about the environment. The Economist points out that Pope Benedict XVI’s statements often

linked to his belief “in the ‘respect for the human person.’” To which The Economist adds: “to the ears of secular greens, that sort of talk can appear too focused on the welfare of homo sapiens at the expense of all other forms of life.”

And here is the problem, articulated by a commenter in response to Judith Curry’s post: “Pope Francis, climate change and mortality.” Ticketstopper wrote: “The Church is concerned about souls. Animals and plants don’t have souls. I would be very interested to see how a Pope can reconcile the demotion of emphasis on human souls with an emphasis on environmental friendliness.”

The forthcoming encyclical will be on human ecology. As McGurn suggests, it is time we put “the human back in human ecology.”

One closing thought: If you believe that an all-knowing God created the earth, that He gave man dominion over it, and called on man to work the earth, why did God put fossil fuels under our feet when He could have made it all dirt? Do you think He knew that the world would have the vast population we have today and that, for such a time as this, we’d need the dense forms of cost-effective energy that coal, oil and natural gas provide? I do.

of obvious conflict, others involved in the one-day event likely endorse a variety of views that disagree with a biblical perspective. When the advisors’ beliefs are the antithesis of the church’s, why should their opinions be invited and accepted as fact on one narrow topic?

Why would the Pope join himself with those who are not Christ followers?

Genesis 2:15 states: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it (NIV).” In the Wall Street Journal, William McGurn addresses this passage: “Plainly this imposes on mankind an obligation of stewardship. … Still, the first part of that Genesis passage means something

• Obesity; • Stress or illness.

Just as at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, sex hormone levels start to peter out and get irregular as a woman approaches menopause. Spotting becomes more common than earlier in life.

There are many effective treatments to help regulate periods and control irregular bleeding. If irregular bleeding is caused by another medical condition, treating that condition should restore normal cycles. Otherwise, treatment is based on the cause and the amount of bleeding.

When deciding on treatment, your doctor will take into account whether you want to have children or not.

If you don’t, birth control pills that combine the hormones estrogen and progesterone can decrease the amount of bleeding. If you do, your doctor may prescribe medication to help your ovaries ovulate more regularly.

Pet of the Week Marine.” I heard it from my father’s aide, then Capt. P.X. Kelley who later became commandant of the Marine Corps.

Believe me, after 41 years in the service of the United States — first at the U.S. Naval Academy, then the Marine Corps, James P. Riseley, Lt. Gen. USMC retired, was very much a Marine from 1918-1959 until his death in 1992. He was never “ex” anything.

Margaret R. Barbour Roswell

Editor’s note: “Former Marine” or “Veteran Marine” in the headline would have made it too small and too long and consequently would have drawn less attention to a very good story. It is a common practice among newspapers to use abbreviations such as “ex-pilot, ex-cop, ex-postal worker, ex-firefighter, ex-Navy sailor, ex-Marine,” etc., in headlines for the sake of brevity. The rule is applied across the board and not meant to be disrespectful to any branch of

military service or profession. It is the editorial position of the Daily Record that there are no sacred cows.

We hold all branches of the military with equal regard and respect, including the Merchant Marines, who suffered the highest casualty rate of any branch of the service during World War II. In the bodies of stories newspapers will typically use more specific terms such as “active duty,” “honorably discharged” and “dishonorably discharged.”

New standardized tests bring technical challenges, concern

WASHINGTON (AP) — Call this the year of the test. Or, at least the year of standardized test mania.

Standardized test season in K-12 classrooms has been dominated in some states by widespread technical problems or by parents allowing their children to opt out.

But testing officials say the rollout this spring of new standardized tests taken by computer in many U.S. public schools has been without major problems in much of the country.

Dr. K

The next step? Seeing how students did — and how parents and educators respond. Test scores don’t just inform parents of their child’s progress; they are used to judge schools and teacher performance, too.

The new exams are expected to be harder in many states than the state assessments they replaced, but they’ve been billed as a more accurate testing of what students are actually learning.

The new assessments developed by two groups of

states are called Smarter Balanced and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. They are designed to be aligned to the Common Core state standards, which spell out what reading and language arts skills students in each grade should master. About 12 million students are taking the two tests in 29 states and the District of Columbia, along with 5,000 students in New York as part of a pilot program.

Additional states initially were to have participated, but dropped out. Legislators in Ohio and elsewhere continue to debate which standardized test to offer in the future.

The new exams were developed to be taken by computer, although paper and pencil tests are available. Districts have had to upgrade their Internet capabilities, buy new computers and teach keyboarding.

Former House Speaker Wright, 92, dies GAO: Gov’t waste DALLAS (AP) — Former U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright, the longtime Texas Democrat who became the first House speaker in history to be driven out of office in midterm, has died at age 92.

The World War II veteran and author, often praised for his eloquence and oratorical skills, was living in a nursing home when he died early Wednesday morning, according to the Harveson and Cole funeral home in Fort Worth. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Wright represented a Fort Worth-area congressional district for 34 years, beginning with his election in 1954. He was the House’s Democratic majority leader for a decade, rising to the speakership in January 1987, to replace Tip O’Neill.

Although three House

speakers had resigned before Wright stepped down in 1989, they all served during the 19th century — and none had been under fire for breaking House ethics rules.

The House Ethics Committee investigated Wright’s financial affairs for nearly a year at the prodding of a little-known Georgia congressman, Republican Newt Gingrich, who publicly branded Wright a “crook.”

The bipartisan committee charged Wright with 69 violations of House rules on reporting of gifts, accepting gifts from people with an interest in legislation, and limits on outside income.

The committee accused Wright of scheming to evade limits on outside earnings by self-publishing a book, “Reflections of a Public Man,” he then sold in bulk. He was also accused of improperly

The Storm Prediction Center had warned that bad weather would come to Tornado Alley. The twister damaged homes at Bridge Creek and Blanchard, southwest of Oklahoma City, but Wednesday’s storms were far weaker than nature’s worst. Tornadoes were also spotted in rural parts of Kansas and Nebraska.

There was no widespread destruction.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Significant amounts of natural gas on federal lands are being wasted, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars each year and adding to harmful greenhouse gas emissions, a congressional investigation has found.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office also said the Bureau of Land Management failed to conduct production inspections for hundreds of high-priority oil and gas wells — roughly 1 out of 5 — to ensure full payment of royalties to the U.S. The report, obtained by The Associated Press before its public release, is the latest to highlight substantial gaps in oversight. An AP review of government records last May found the agency, which manages oil and gas development on federal and Indian lands, had been overwhelmed by a boom in a new drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

The GAO report said it had been urging BLM, an agency of the Interior Department, to update guidelines for the burning or venting of natural gas since at least 2010, when it found 40 percent of it could be captured economically and sold. BLM has yet to do so, although agency officials now say they are in the process of putting together various orders and a proposed rule for comment later this year.

Until then, government investigators called BLM’s management of oil and gas “high-risk” for waste and fraud.

“The Interior Department has known for at least a decade that companies have been wasting natural gas from oil and gas wells on public lands,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. “Venting and flaring natural gas from these wells hurts the environment and speeds up global warming, and it shortchanges the taxpayers.”

He joined Reps. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., and Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., the top Democrat on the House Committee on Natural Resources, in calling on the department to redouble efforts to stem waste, rather than give “drilling companies a pass to let millions of taxpayer dollars evaporate into thin air.”

Companies that drill for natural gas pay the federal government a royalty on the gas they extract; they are also allowed to burn or release publicly-owned gas from wells in certain amounts for free.

But GAO said BLM was underestimating the amount of gas vented and flared and failing to collect royalties for that gas. Based on data from the Environmental Protection Agency, the GAO calculated in 2010 that the government was losing at least $23 million annually in lost sales, an amount that environmental groups say has since grown due to increased drilling activity.

Much of the vented gas is methane, a greenhouse gas roughly 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Using EPA estimates, the GAO concluded that capturing the vented gas would be the equivalent of removing 3.1 million cars from the road or closing four average-sized coal-fired power plants.

Mowing Tips from A-1 Mower Sales and Service

Remember that mowing is pruning. Proper mowing increases the density of the lawn, which in turn decreases weeds. Each type of grass has a recommended mowing height. Find out which type of grass is in your lawn (you may have more than one) and mow at the proper height.

Stick to the 1/3 rule — never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade length at any one time. A healthy lawn can survive an occasional close cut. Repeated close mowing produces a brown lawn and has several harmful side effects, including: * Injury to the crown, where new growth generates and nutrients are stored. * Reduction of the surface area of the blade, making the blade surface insufficient to produce food through photosynthesis. * Increased vulnerability to pests and disease. * An increase in the sunlight reaching weed seeds, allowing them to germinate. * Risk of soil compaction.

BORN TODAY Former first lady of Argentina Eva Peron (1919), actor Gary Cooper (1901), composer Johannes Brahms (1833)

Officer: Snoop Dogg a ‘cop hater’ AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ chief law enforcement official called Snoop Dogg a “dope smoking cop hater” before reprimanding a state trooper who posed for a picture with the rapper, according to emails made public Wednesday.

Snoop Dogg posted a photo to Instagram with Department of Public Safety Trooper Billy Spears in March with the comment “Me n my deputy dogg.” It was taken during the South by Southwest music festival, where Spears was working off-duty as extra security.

Spears is now suing DPS after being disciplined for taking a picture with a public figure who

has several convictions for drug possession.

Emails obtained by Spears’ attorney through open records laws show that the incident went all the way to DPS Director Steve McCraw, who is best known for overseeing the state’s expansive border security operations.

“Apparently he would rather work the convention while on a week’s vacation to earn additional money rather than take an additional tour on the border,” McCraw wrote. “He must not understand that he was being lampooned by a dope smoking cop hater which reflects very poorly on the department.”

NFL finds Patriots employees ‘probably’ deflated footballs

By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer Tom Brady: Unbelievable.

The 243-report on “Deflategate” came out Wednesday and stopped barely short of calling the Patriots star quarterback a cheater. It did, however, call some of his claims “implausible” and left little doubt that he had a role in having footballs deflated before New England’s AFC title game against Indianapolis in January and probably in previous games.

In his report, attorney Ted Wells said the quarterback “was at least generally aware” of all the plans to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. Wells said it was “more probable than not” that two Patri-

ots employees — officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski — executed the plan.

For his trouble, McNally asked for expensive shoes and signed footballs, jerseys and cash. He brokered the deals over a series of salty text messages with Jastremski that portray Brady as a hardto-please taskmaster. “F--Tom,” one read.

For the biggest home game of the season, McNally came through, taking the footballs from the officials’ locker room into a bathroom before delivering them to the field, the report said.

The footballs — measured by officials at halftime— somehow lost pressure between being tested by the referee and the break.

As for Brady’s claims that he didn’t know of

efforts to deflate game balls and didn’t know anything about what McNally did: “We found these claims not plausible and contradicted by other evidence,” Wells wrote.

The penalties for all this? To be determined.

League executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent is reviewing the report and will hand down the punishment.

Former NFL executive Bill Polian, familiar with the league’s crime-and-punishment procedures after spending 19 years on the powerful competition committee, said the term Wells used — “more probable than not” — has been the standard of proof the NFL has used for competitive violations over the last six years.

See DEFLATE, Page B3

DEXTER — If the baseball team at Dexter gets the kind of pitching that was on display Wednesday the Demons won’t have to settle for second place at this year’s state tournament.

Dominic Lomeli was strong on the mound in a 10-0 run-rule shutout over Tularosa in the first round of the 3A state tournament to lead the Demons, who finished as runners-up last season To Cobre.

The junior right-hander held the Wildcats to two singles in the five-inning game and allowed two walks. None of those base runners advanced past first base, and one was even picked off by Lomeli.

Lomeli struck out eight batters, two in each of the first, second and fourth innings and one each in the third and fifth. He used hard stuff to get ahead in the count and soft stuff to put the Wildcats’ batters away.

“I knew I had them. If I was going to give my best performance I was going to shut them down. Even if I had an off day I had my defense behind me to back me up,” said Lomeli, who also was the winning pitcher when the Demons beat Tularosa 11-1 on March 28 at the NMMI tournament. “Once I got them into an 0-2 count my curveball was on today. I

just really felt it. And early in the count I had the fastball going. I didn’t feel they could square it up too much.”

Lomeli retired eight of the first 11 batters. He walked Tularosa’s No. 9 hitter Dwight Waters to lead off the third inning, and Waters became the first out of the inning when Lomeli caught the runner napping at first base.

“He has a decent fastball,” Dexter coach Arturo Duran said. “He was coming with a change-up or a curveball behind it. He throws strikes. That’s what counts. We tried to keep them off balance. He’s good on the mound and we try to back him up when the actually hit the ball.”

The Demons’ aggressive approach offensively worked as well. Two singles and a hit batter filled the bases in the bottom of the first inning with no outs. Jose Ruiz delivered the third single of the inning to score Mario Contreras and Raul Duran.

That was all the runs the Demons needed, but they scored plenty more off Robert Silva, who allowed all 10 runs.

“We practiced mainly for hitting the ball and focused on that this past couple of days,” Duran said. “I think it paid off.

The kids came out swinging the bat a little bit better at the plate. We got to keep working. We got

another week and get ready for the second round of the playoffs.”

David Miramontes doubled to lead off the second and scored on an error to give Dexter a 3-0 lead.

Carlos Bejarano lined a two-run triple to highlight a four-run fourth, and the Demons added three in the fifth, with some help from the Wildcats’ defense, to mandate the game’s early end. Lomeli contributed a run-scoring triple and a run himself in the inning.

The Demons improved to 14-10 — with two of those regular-season losses coming against Tualrosa — and are playing in the state tournament for a fifth straight season. Their opponent in the quarterfinals will be Eunice, another nemesis during the regular season for the Demons.

Eunice (14-9, 7-2) won the District 4 regular-season championship over Dexter by one game. In addition, the Cardinals have beaten Dexter three times this season, each time by one run.

In their first-round game Wednesday, the Cardinals beat Santa Fe Prep 13-0.

The 3A quarterfinal game will be held at 1 p.m.

Wednesday at the University of New Mexico’s Lobo Field in Albuquerque.

LeBron’s 33 lead Cavaliers past Bulls 106-91 in Game 2 CLEVELAND (AP) — The headband returned. The aggressiveness, dunks and dazzling plays all came back, too.

LeBron James rarely has two sub-par games in a row, especially in the playoffs.

James attacked from the start and scored 33 points, Kyrie Irving added 21 and the Cleveland Cavaliers evened their semifinal series with Chicago, beating the Bulls 106-91 in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Donning his signature headband for the first time in two months and powering to the basket, James kept the Cavs from falling into a 2-0 hole. He added eight rebounds and five assists for Cleveland, which led by 25 in the third quarter and withstood a third-quarter charge by the Bulls.

For the second straight game, the Cavs were without forward Kevin Love (shoulder surgery) and J.R. Smith (two-game suspension). But they had James and he was more like himself after a sub-par performance in the opener.

“We’re a little banged up, we’re short-handed, so I have to be aggressive,” James said. “Even more aggressive than my usual self, and I was happy I was able to make a couple of plays to help our team win tonight.”

Jimmy Butler scored 18 and Derrick Rose had 14 points and 10 assists for the Bulls, who host Game 3 on Friday night. Pau Gasol added 11 points — 10 fewer than Game 1, when he destroyed the Cavs on uncontested jumpers.

Iman Shumpert added 15 points, James Jones made five 3-pointers and Tristan Thompson added 12 rebounds for Cleveland. Thompson started

On the perimeter is where James is most dangerous and he made it clear from the outset that he wasn’t going to stand around and wait for the game to come to him.

The Cavs burst to a 13-2 lead and led by 22 in the first quarter.

“They smashed us,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.

The Bulls used a 14-0 run to get within 11 in the third quarter, but Jones hit consecutive 3s and James scored twice near the basket to put Cleveland up by 16 going into the fourth.

James arrived at Quicken Loans Arena at around

4 p.m., three hours before tip-off. As if there needed to be another sign of the game’s importance to Cleveland this was it, as the superstar typically gets to the arena for a home game around 90 minutes before the start.

“Maybe he wanted to beat the traffic,” quipped Cavs coach David Blatt. “Knowing him, it was something else.”

It sure was.

Back in his familiar headband after ditching it since March 7, and with an all-business look from the time he took the floor for warmups, James came out as aggressively as he promSee CAVS, Page B2

Sandusky appeal seeks to have molestation conviction thrown out HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky argued in a new appeal Wednesday that pretrial publicity, leaks and unprepared defense lawyers are among the reasons a judge should throw out his child sexual abuse conviction.

Sandusky says the criminal proceedings violated his constitutional rights, prosecutors engaged in misconduct and his attorneys were ineffective during his 2012 trial and an earlier round of appeals.

“The commonwealth’s entire case was a house of cards resting on testimony that trial counsel should have exposed as incompetent, unreliable and inadmissible,” wrote his new lawyer, Al Lindsay.

He says Sandusky’s right to a fair trial was “crushed under a stampede of vitriol, rage and prejudice” that warrants a new trial and ultimately the dismissal of charges.

State prosecutors said they are reviewing the petition and plan to respond.

Sandusky, 71, was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys, some on campus, and is serving a decadeslong prison sentence. He has maintained his innocence, acknowledging he showered with boys but saying he didn’t abuse them.

The petition revisits and elaborates on many of the arguments his lawyers have previously made, including that accusers’ stories changed over time and that they may have been motivated by a desire to cash in.

A previous appeal was

The new appeal, filed under the state’s Post Conviction Relief Act, focuses on the job his lawyers did, constitutional violations and newly discovered evidence.

Lindsay argued the case was rushed to trial when public hostility against Sandusky had reached its peak. He said the trial attorneys should have refused to go forward after the judge denied their requests to be taken off the case because they didn’t have time to adequately prepare.

The attorneys “essentially abandoned” Sandusky through a series of decisions and failures, Lindsay wrote.

A reference by a prosecutor in closing arguments

to an interview Sandusky gave to NBC shortly after his arrest violated his right to remain silent, Lindsay wrote.

Lindsay also reviewed the accounts told by the accusers, saying they made “multitudes of inconsistent statements.”

He said prosecutors deliberately misled jurors about whether they had identified a young man, called Victim 2, whom a graduate assistant said he saw in the football team showers with Sandusky in 2001.

“By making (a) statement to purporting to have no knowledge about the identity of Victim No. 2, the commonwealth violated its sacred duty of candor to the tribunal by making a materially false statement of fact to the jury,” Lindsay said.

A law firm representing a man who purports to be Victim 2 has said it reached a settlement with Penn State over Sandusky-related claims, part of about $60 million the university has paid out in the matter.

Lindsay wants a hearing to explore how information about a grand jury investigation into Sandusky was published by The Patriot-News eight months before charges were filed and a leak about the charges shortly before Sandusky was arrested.

At that hearing, he wants to call to the stand Sandusky’s prior defense and appeals attorneys, prosecutors, investigators, a former Patriot-News reporter, former Gov. Tom Corbett, who was the state attorney general when the investigation began, and others.

“That’s what a leader of the team is supposed to do,” Rose said. “Everybody on the team followed right behind him.”

Hill propels Diamondbacks to 13-7 win over Rockies in first game of DH

DENVER (AP) — Josh Collmenter’s latest start lasted all of seven innings.

Really, though, it felt more like a few days.

Collmenter had to wait through rainouts on backto-back nights to finally take his turn on the mound.

He didn’t have his best stuff, either. No matter, Aaron Hill aided him at the plate and Ender Inciarte in the field.

Hill tied a career high with four RBIs, including a three-run homer, and Inciarte made two catches against the outfield wall to help the Diamondbacks beat the reeling Colorado Rockies 13-7 in a doubleheader opener Wednesday.

Rain postponed the first two games of the series, and another storm was expected later. When not getting washed out, the Rockies have been outscored 60-24 in losing six straight.

Collmenter (3-3) gave up five runs and 10 hits, including three homers.

“I moved my fastball around pretty good. Offspeed pitches were all pretty bad,” Collmenter said. “That is what I gave up a lot of the damage on.

You have to be better at those.”

The righty tried to stay loose through the two-day break. It was far from easy.

“I did the same routine both days. I threw a little bit yesterday just to make sure,” Collmenter said. “I

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Aaron Hill follows the flight of his three-run home run against the Colorado Rockies in the fourth inning of the first game of a baseball doubleheader Wednesday in Denver. played catch just a little bit to try to keep it as close to normal as possible.”

Tyler Matzek (2-1) allowed four runs in two innings and matched a career high with six walks in his first start since leaving an April 27 outing at Arizona with a hamstring cramp.

The lefty said he struggled with the command of his fastball. Of his 58 pitches, only 20 were for strikes.

“It’s extremely frustrating. It’s disappointing that I let my team down,” Matzek said. “We had to go to the bullpen early, which

is terrible, especially on a day we have a doubleheader. Just disappointed. The fastball feel just wasn’t there.”

Hill had four RBIs in a game for the eighth time — the first since Aug. 11, 2013, against the New York Mets. The Diamondbacks tied a season high with 18 hits.

“No leads are ever safe.

So it’s fun to see them continue to have good at-bats and put runs on the board,” Collmenter said.

Mark Trumbo hit a tworun homer and an RBI double, and Yasmany Tomas finished with three

RBI singles. Inciarte added four hits, and his biggest contribution was with his glove.

Inciarte caught a deep drive by Nick Hundley against the left-field wall in the fifth. Then, moving over to right as part of a switch, Inciarte made another grab against the wall in the seventh to rob Charlie Blackmon of extra bases.

Justin Morneau and Hundley had solo homers for Colorado. Pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs connected for a two-run homer in the eighth, which chased Collmenter.

“In short, he is finding there was a violation,” Polian said. “In many ways I think this report is as important as the discipline. It clearly says a violation occurred.”

This offseason, the league has fined the Falcons $350,000 and stripped a fifth-round draft pick for pumping artificial crowd noise into the stadium during home games.

It also suspended Browns general manager Ray Farmer for four games for sending texts to the sideline during games last season.

By almost any account, this rules violation is more serious. It involves arguably the league’s top star, a four-time Super Bowl winner who is bound for the Hall of Fame, and its marquee team — one that has spent almost the last decade under the microscope after getting caught in the videotaping scandal dubbed “Spygate” in 2007.

One sign of the realworld reaction: The gambling website Bovada took down all betting odds on the Patriots until it finds out whether Brady will be suspended.

Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe tweeted this: “Brady must be suspended for minimum of 2-4 gms, Belichick gets 1 yr and tm loses 1st rd draft pick 2016-17.”

Back in 2007, it was coach Bill Belichick in the crosshairs for cheating.

This report didn’t find any

evidence that Belichick or the coaching staff knew anything about deflating the balls.

Owner Robert Kraft called the conclusion “incomprehensible.” But he said the Patriots would accept the findings and any subsequent discipline.

T h e r e p o r t c i t e s e v idence that McNally took the game balls into a bathroom adjacent to the field, and stayed there for about 100 seconds — “an amount of time sufficient to deflate thirteen footballs using a needle.”

Other evidence included referee Walt Anderson’s inability to locate the previously approved footballs at the start of the game — the first time that had happened to him in 19 years.

The report includes text messages between McNally and Jastremski — sent in October and January — that imply Brady was requesting deflated footballs. The texts also imply that Brady had previously been upset with the quality of the game balls.

They described requests from McNally for swag from Brady in exchange for deflating the balls.

“Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to sign,” one said.

“Nice throw in some kicks and make it real special,” another said.

In this April 11, 2014, file photo, Jordan Spieth, left, shakes hands with Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, on the 18th green following the second round of the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Rory McIlroy remembers a 19-year-old Texan who was polished for his age and didn’t appear to have a glaring weakness in his game. That was the Texas Open two years ago, the first time he played with Jordan Spieth.

They are together again in The Players Championship under different circumstances.

There is talk of a new rivalry in golf between McIlroy and Spieth, partly because of age, mainly because of recent results.

McIlroy is No. 1 in the world on the strength of winning two of the last three majors and a pair of World Golf Championships. He already has two wins this year. Spieth won that other major — a wire-to-wire victory in the Masters — and moved up to No. 2. He also has two victories this year.

The PGA Tour didn’t let the opportunity pass to put them together for two rounds in its premier championship, which starts Thursday at the TPC Sawgrass.

Even if it’s a budding rivalry, it’s one-sided. Spieth would be the first to concede that.

“He is as far ahead of me as I am with the next eight guys,” Spieth said, refer-

ring to the gap between No. 1 and No. 2 in the world ranking. “So with that being said, it’s kind of anybody’s game to get up and make it interesting with him. I just happen to be the one that occupies No. 2 right now.”

McIlroy responded to all the hype over Spieth and his green jacket by winning the Match Play Championship last week in San Francisco. He provided another answer to the chatter about a rivalry by practically yawning.

“Last year it was Rickie (Fowler). This year it’s Jordan, might be someone else, could have been Tiger,” McIlroy said. “There’s been four or five rivalries over the past year. So it doesn’t really do anything for me.”

He then borrowed a line that Jack Nicklaus once told Tiger Woods. Both had a revolving door of rivals over the years.

“As long as I’m one of them, the other can be whoever it is,” McIlroy said. “I don’t mind.”

He would appear to be the one to chase for years, though McIlroy is prone to go into mini-slumps. Think back to one year ago at The Players Championship, when Woods was still No. 1 in the world. Now he’s at No. 125 from not playing well and not playing much

because of injuries.

Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar were next in line, and all of them had a mathematical chance to be No. 1 at The Players. McIlroy was No. 11. Two weeks later, he won the BMW PGA Championship and was on his way.

But if there is an advantage this week, it might go to Spieth. He was tied for the lead going into the final round in his Players Championship debut and watched Martin Kaymer put on a clinic — and make an unlikely par putt on the island green at No. 17 — to win at Sawgrass.

McIlroy didn’t make a cut at The Players until his fourth try. He tied for sixth last year after closing with a 66, though he was never in contention.

“I heard something that it sort of tests everyone and favors no one,” McIlroy said of the Pete Dye design.

He has adopted a conservative style the past two years and is making progress with a pair of top-10 finishes.

“It’s always hard for me when I can’t get driver in my hand, because I feel like when I get driver in my hand I can give myself an advantage over the rest of the field,” McIlroy said.

Messi nets 2 as Barcelona handles Guardiola’s Bayern 3-0 in CL semi BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Lionel Messi scored two outstanding goals and set up Neymar to add another in injury time as Barcelona handed Bayern Munich and former coach Pep Guardiola a 3-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal on Wednesday.

Not even the coach who helped Messi become one of the best ever to play the game could find a way of stopping the prolific forward from scoring his 76th and record 77th goals in the competition.

Messi rifled a left-footed strike between Manuel Neuer and the post in the 77th, and three minutes later brought defender Jerome Boateng to the turf before chipping the goalkeeper.

Messi was in brilliant form from the start, and rounded off by providing the pass for Neymar to race away and score in stoppage time.

“Guardiola knows Messi, and he knows that if he is inspired nobody can stop him,” Barcelona defender Gerard Pique said. “He scored two spectacular goals.”

A day after Juventus beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the other first leg match, the scale of Barcelona’s victory now makes it a runaway favorite to reach the final

— ahead of the return leg against Bayern in Munich on Tuesday.

Guardiola said before the match that there was no way to defend Messi’s “magnitude of talent.”

And despite keeping him in check for well over an hour, Messi finally proved his former coach right.

After the match, long gone was the smiling Guardiola speaking freely of the good memories that came to him back at Camp Nou on Tuesday.

“It wasn’t only Messi.

Barca is a very good team,” said a dour Guardiola.

“The third goal is a shame because with 2-0 we still had options.

“I congratulate Barcelona with all my heart and we will see each other next week in Munich.”

Guardiola had also said before the match that he expected no special honors from the fans, who consider him a living club legend for his heaps of trophies as a player and a coach that include three European Cups.

Instead of seeking applause on his return to Camp Nou, the Bayern manager slipped out of the tunnel and turned right — not left as he had for four seasons from before joining Bayern in 2013 — to take his place in the opponents’

dugout just before kickoff.

But seeing his team in trouble from the start, Guardiola quickly emerged and spent long stretches stalking the sideline, giving orders as he once had to the side in burgundy-and-blue.

Guardiola had already made the risky decision to start Robert Lewandowski, who played with a mask to protect fractures in his upper jaw and nasal bone, when he also decided to try and stop Messi and his fellow forwards with a threeman defense.

Lewandowski, however, spent long stretches waiting for counterattacks that never happened. And when he had Bayern’s first chance in the 18th minute — and what a chance it was when Barcelona left him unmarked in front of the goal — he scuffed Thomas Mueller’s low ball and sent it trickling well wide.

Guardiola’s side might have beaten Barcelona at its own game of ball possession, with 53 percent to 47 for the hosts, but Barcelona mustered eight shots on goal to none for Bayern.

Dani Alves recovered ball after ball inside Bayern’s half.

The first self-driving vehicle No charges you see may have 18 wheels for Colorado workers shown hitting pigs

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Although much attention has been paid to autonomous vehicles being developed by Google and traditional car companies, one truck maker believes that automated tractor-trailers will be rolling along highways before self-driving cars are cruising around the suburbs.

On freeways, there are no intersections, no red lights, no pedestrians, making it a far less complex trip, said Wolfgang Bernhard, a management board member of Daimler AG, at a Tuesday event in Las Vegas.

Daimler Trucks North America showed off a self-driving big rig on the road atop Hoover Dam Tuesday night. But the company says the autonomous truck needs more testing before it is ready to hit the highway.

There are many advantages to autonomous big rigs, which use a combination of features that already are available on high-end passenger cars. A computer-controlled truck never gets drowsy. And eventually a fully autonomous rig could cut expensive driver costs for companies.

Still, there likely will always be a human behind the wheel, more as a logistics manager and to take over in an emergency.

Legal and philosophical questions stand in the way, as does perfecting the

Freightliner unveils its Inspiration self-driving truck during an event at the Hoover Dam Tuesday, near Boulder City, Nev. technology that links radar sensors and cameras to computers that can brake and accelerate the truck and handle any freeway situation.

Legal issues are among the biggest obstacles.

Daimler Trucks North America LLC CEO Martin Daum said society might forgive a number of deaths caused by tired truck drivers at the wheel but they would never forgive a single fatal crash blamed on a fully automated big rig.

For now four states, including Nevada, and the District of Columbia, certify testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads as long as a human driv-

er is behind the wheel, and a few others are keen on allowing the tests.

Bernhard said more states need to allow testing of autonomous driving before fleets of self-driving semi-trucks fill U.S. freeways and interstates anytime soon.

“Then it starts to make sense for our customers,” Bernhard said, when states that allow it are linked together. “That will be the point when the tipping point is reached.”

Bernhard said the company is still far from taking customer orders for the trucks. “We’re just getting people inspired,” he said.

The truck shown off

Tuesday night is called “Inspiration,” and Daum said it was a first step, much like landing on the moon.

Taking a line from astronaut Neil Armstrong, Bernhard told the crowd bused to the site from Las Vegas for the news conference that it was about to witness “a short drive for man and a long haul for mankind.”

On Wednesday, the company planned test-drives with invited members of the media to show off the automated technology.

do facility near the Nebraska border, spokesman David Eaheart said.

In a statement, the company said the abuse, which happened while the pigs were being loaded onto trucks, is “unacceptable and inexcusable” and violates its standards. It said all farm managers will be shown the video to send a message that such handling of animals is not acceptable.

Mercy for Animals’ investigations director, Matt Rice, said the company’s actions are “too little too late,” and Seaboard should install livestream cameras to deter abuse.

The video also shows pigs crammed into concrete stalls and a worker snaring a pig and firing a captive bolt — used to stun animals before slaughter — into an its head in front of other animals. Rice said the group doesn’t claim those things are illegal but believes they are unethical.

Seaboard supplies pork to Walmart and other retailers. Mercy for Animals seized on the Walmart connection to try to pressure the retail giant to require its suppliers to adopt reforms, including ending the practice of keeping pregnant sows in crates.

Companies including Target and McDonald’s have agreed to phase out the use of gestation crates by their suppliers. Colorado will outlaw them starting in 2018.

Walmart spokesman John Forrest Ales said the company requires its suppliers and producers to rely only on farms certified as following industry and government rules.

“We hold all our suppliers to high standards and do not tolerate the mistreatment of animals,” he said.

ees pay their taxes on time, the highest compliance rate of any major federal agency. The agency said those who weren’t fired faced strong disciplinary actions.

DENVER (AP) — A video showing workers at a Colorado pig farm hitting animals with cans and boards prompted the firings of seven employees, but authorities said Wednesday no criminal charges will be filed.

A member of the Los Angeles-based group Mercy for Animals filmed the video while working undercover at one of about a dozen Seaboard Foods farms in Colorado’s northeastern corner. The group posted the footage online late Tuesday.

It previously turned over the video to the Phillips County Sheriff’s Office, which launched an investigation and notified Merriam, Kansas-based Seaboard, which did its own probe.

District Attorney Brittny Lewton concluded there was no evidence the abuse warranted criminal charges.

“Although in the video submitted by ‘Mercy for Animals,’ it appears that one or two of the employees for Seaboard Farms is violating company policies and the best practices for livestock handling, the appropriate course of action is either training or termination, not criminal charges,” Lewton said in letter to the sheriff’s office.

Undercover video by Mercy for Animals also captured workers at a nowclosed New Mexico dairy whipping, kicking and punching cows last year.

Four men were charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty in that case last month.

Seaboard Farms has more than 300 pig farms in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Colorado. It has fired five workers and two supervisors following an internal investigation at the Colora-

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I recently found out my grandmother has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has elected not to treat it. The doctors give her a year at the most. My dilemma is whether to extend just one more olive branch.

She has never been a “warm and fuzzy” type of grandmother.

She was cold and distant when I was in my teens and 20s, and downright mean when I was in my 30s. If I try to talk to her at family functions, she turns away and begins a conversation with

someone else, not even acknowledging that I’m standing there.

Last year at a family reunion, she took several photos with my mom and sister, and when it was suggested I join them in the photo, she walked away before one could be snapped. I’m not the only family member or grandchild she behaves this way toward. None of us knows why.

Do I try one more time, suspecting the diagnosis hasn’t softened her heart and that I’ll again end up with hurt feelings? Or do I assume that nothing I do now will change who she is and that I will have no positive, happy memories of her?

INVISIBLE IN KANSAS DEAR INVISIBLE: Frankly, the chances of your grandmother transforming into someone warm and accepting don’t look promising because she appears to be a punitive and unhappy person. However, if you feel you might have regrets if you

don’t try once more to connect with her, then make the effort so that when she dies, you’ll know you did everything you could.

Don’t do it for her; do it for yourself.

I understand why Mom did it — that’s part of what hurts me.

I’m angry that they would masquerade a failure “for me,” that failure being their “relationship.”

I think my anger is valid. My family has screwed me up emo HHHHH tionally and it started long before

I knew what was going on. What DEAR ABBY: should I do?

Ever since I was young, which SCREWED UP IN OREGON was not that long ago, I have known my parents’ marriage DEAR SCREWED UP: wasn’t a healthy one. But only When children are raised in recently has it begun to affect me a household where the parents’ emotionally.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: I read your column in the (Middletown, Ohio) Journal-News. I love all of your hints.

I have LEAD CRYSTAL DRINKING GLASSES that we use all the time, and I wash them in the dishwasher. They have lost some of their shine, and they are developing a film. Could you give me a hint for how to restore their beauty?

Thanks a million!

Edith M., Liberty Township, Ohio Hey, Edith, thanks for the kind words. I, too, have glasses like yours. The culprit in your case most likely is the dishwasher and the detergent you use. In the old days, we hand-washed crystal glasses and dried them with a dish towel. The problem could be a combination of: the hot-water temperature is not high enough; hard water; not enough water to rinse the detergent off; and air-drying.

Vinegar to the rescue!

Heat a few cups of vinegar -- NOT boiling, but very hot.

Soak one or two glasses for 20-30 minutes. You should see the stuff start to bubble away and dissolve the mineral deposits. When cool, scrub with a plastic brush, rinse well and dry with a lint-free or microfiber towel.

If the film is not gone, you can try again, but sadly, it might be permanent.

Heloise

Dear Heloise: If you have a “ploopploop” drip in the middle of the night that you can’t fix at 1 a.m., here’s a hint to stop the unending noise.

Tie a piece of string to the faucet and let the string hang down into the basin or tub. Soon the water will slide down the string. The water will still drip, but the noise will be gone Robert White, Dayton, Texas

Dear Readers: My main office is at one end of our house. My “commute” is a brisk walk down the hallway. If no one is coming to the office, or I don’t need to go anywhere, I do my “works for now,” 120-second makeup routine: • Dot concealer under eyes and pat in a “V” shape • Foundation, either a moisturizer-sunblock and tint or my “two in one” that is a 1 / 4 -full makeup bottle to which I added highSPF lotion. Shake, dab and blend.

Latest GOP campaigns for State official: Clinton email White House star Clinton practices ‘not acceptable’ HOPE, Arkansas (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton starred in two presidential campaign launches this week. Neither was her own.

The leading Democrat was featured prominently by two Republican contenders, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former technology executive Carly Fiorina, whose road to relevancy in 2016 may be inextricably tied to the former first lady. As other Republicans begin to jab each other, both Fiorina’s and Huckabee’s nascent campaigns are based on the notion that they are uniquely positioned to defeat Clinton.

Both may be overstating their cases.

Huckabee didn’t explicitly mention Clinton on Tuesday even as he began a second presidential bid in the hometown he shares with her husband, Bill Clinton, the 42nd president. Yet the strategy was clear, as Huckabee and his senior aides cast him as a conservative populist outsider and the only Republican to have successfully taken on the Clinton political machine.

The opening frames of Huckabee’s campaign video featured a black-andwhite photo of the Clintons. In his speech, Huckabee recalled “challenging the deeply entrenched political machine that ran this state.” Later, he took a swipe at Hillary Clinton, noting that he doesn’t “have a global foundation” to help

start his campaign.

It was much the same for Fiorina, the only high-profile woman seeking the Republican presidential nomination, as she stepped into the presidential race the day earlier. Before appearing in her own announcement video, Fiorina began with a few moments of Clinton declaring her candidacy.

“I would be running for president regardless of who the nominee on the Democratic side was, but really the point in highlighting her is that she is the personification of the professional political class,” said Fiorina, a former Hewlett-Packard CEO who has never held elected office. “She and her husband have been in politics their entire lives.”

Fiorina, who ran for a Senate seat in California and lost to incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, emerged as one of the GOP’s most aggressive Clinton critics in the weeks leading up to this week’s announcement. She remains relatively unknown among the broader electorate, yet her aides suggest Fiorina has the ability to talk about issues and go after Clinton in ways her male colleagues cannot.

“It is clear that, in sharp contrast to Hillary, people see Carly as genuine, authentic and trustworthy,” Sarah Isgur Flores, Fiorina’s deputy campaign manager, said in a campaign memo.

Huckabee’s Clinton focus

is more personal. His introductory campaign video is titled “Nailed Shut,” a reference to an office door being sealed off to him the day before he was sworn in as lieutenant governor in 1993 — a story he tells to illustrate what he was up against with the Democratic power structure in Little Rock.

Clinton was governor until the end of 1992, before moving to the White House. His Democratic successor was caught in an ethics scandal and Huckabee ascended to the governor’s office.

“There was a Democrat machine and (Bill) Clinton was the head of that machine,” said Arkansas Republican Chairman Doyle Webb.

The man Huckabee beat remembers it differently.

Now a Little Rock attorney, Nate Coulter said the Clintons didn’t campaign for him. “They had things that were, frankly, more important to them and the republic,” he said.

Campaign materials that Huckabee aides distributed to reporters Tuesday framed Coulter as a Clinton standin. He had worked as an assistant legal counsel in the governor’s office before Clinton was elected president.

“It’s a useful national narrative” for Huckabee to run as a Clinton rival, said Janine Parry, a political science professor at the University of Arkansas.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A high-ranking State Department official said Wednesday it’s “not acceptable” for any agency employee to conduct government business on a private email server as former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton did.

Joyce Barr, the agency’s chief freedom of information officer, made the comment under questioning from Republican senators who used a Senate Judiciary hearing on open records laws to attack Clinton over her email practices.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said that Clinton’s approach amounted to a “premeditated and deliberate” attempt to avoid open records requirements.

Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said that anyone who took such an approach should be fired, and asked Barr whether it would be considered acceptable.

Barr said that she had not been aware of Clinton’s decision to conduct all her State Department email on a private server but that the agency has now made it clear to employees that such an approach would not be acceptable.

“I think that the actions that we’ve taken in the course of recovering these emails have

made it very clear what people’s responsibilities are with regard to record-keeping,” she said. “We continue to do training, we’ve sent department notices, telegrams, we’ve talked to directors and I think the message is loud and clear that that is not acceptable.”

Clinton, who is running for president, has defended using a personal email account while serving as secretary of state as a matter of personal convenience. She says she has turned over to the State Department all work-related emails — more than 30,000 of them — though House Republicans investigating the 2012 attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, are demanding more. They insist the server itself should be examined by a third party.

A spokesman for Clinton’s campaign declined comment. Clinton has agreed to testify on Capitol Hill later this month at the request of the special committee investigating the Benghazi attacks.

Barr acknowledged problems with the State Department’s overall performance responding to open records requests, calling an existing backlog of 18,000 requests “unacceptable.” But she insisted improvements were being made even as

the number of requests keeps growing and the agency is understaffed.

Like other government agencies, the State Department is bound by laws including the Freedom of Information Act that generally require them to maintain records and make them available to the public when asked, with some exceptions.

Karen Kaiser, general counsel at The Associated Press, testified that despite promises of greater transparency by the Obama administration, most agencies are not abiding by their legal obligations under open records laws. “Non-responsiveness is the norm, and the reflex at most agencies is to withhold information, not to release it,” she told senators.

Lawmakers are weighing legislation to improve the Freedom of Information Act, but Kaiser said agencies should also be made to comply with the laws already enacted.

“We can have all the wonderful laws on the books and the presumptions of disclosure written in, but if the agencies don’t abide by the requirements we’re in a bad position,” she said.
