Man terrorizes letter carrier, is chased by police

By Jared Tucker Multimedia Journalist

A Roswell man is in jail facing a felony charge after police say he terrorized a letter carrier and then led police on a high speed chase through town Wednesday morning.

The Chaves County Sheriff’s Department said a female United States Postal Service carrier was traveling her route through Roswell delivering mail when she noticed a light blue Acura SUV began following her near the intersection of Poe and Main Streets.

Emergency radio traffic released by police indicates the driver even cut her off

at one point, trying to stop her.

Frightened, the carrier went to the Chisum Travel Center north of Roswell where she called her husband, who alerted police.

“Also had a report of this vehicle in the 1000 block of South Pennsylvania casing the area,” 911 dispatchers told responding deputies.

Upon arrival of deputies, the alleged driver, Jered Leatherman, took off south on Main Street, and deputies pursued.

Residents sound off on Roswell city planning

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

About 80 Roswell residents on Tuesday night attended the first of a series of public meetings about a new city comprehensive master plan.

Residents completed a survey on quality of life, growth and land use, economic development, and other issues at the Daniels Leadership Center on the campus of New Mexico Military Institute.

The discussion became lively when residents spoke about what they liked most and least about Roswell.

“We want to know what the citizens want, because you’re the people paying for everything,” said Roswell City Councilor Jason Perry.

The city is in the process of updating its 2005 comprehensive master

plan, said Elizabeth StarkRankins of Roswell’s Planning and Zoning Department.

Stark-Rankins said the main goals of the new plan include creating a wellplanned community; providing code enforcement with the finances and manpower needed; working with federal, state and local agencies to develop vacant lots; meet the demand of low-income, affordable housing; continuing to improve local streets, parks and recreation facilities; building entertainment facilities; improving water systems and other infrastructure; improving employment opportunities and retaining Roswell’s status as the commercial, industrial and economic See PLANNING, Page A3

State Briefs Police on alert for NM biker gathering

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A motorcycle gang shootout in Texas that left nine people dead and 18 others wounded has put law enforcement agencies on alert for an annual motorcycle gathering in northern New Mexico.

Authorities say they have heightened awareness for the Memorial Day Motorcycle Rally in Red River that is expected to attract 20,000 bikers, though spillover violence isn’t expected.

“We will tell officers to be extra vigilant,” said Red River Town Marshal David Smith. “We are ask-

ing them to be proactive to make sure groups are not de facto setting up territory on street corners.”

Past attendees of the New Mexico event in the state’s Enchanted Circle include members of the Bandidos, who authorities say were involved in the shooting in Waco.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Wednesday to make permanent a generous tax credit that rewards businesses for investing in research and development, setting the stage for another showdown over taxes.

The tax credit is part of a package of more than 50 temporary tax breaks that routinely expires every year or two, only to be renewed by Congress.

The entire package expired

at the beginning of the year.

House Republicans have been working to make selected tax breaks permanent, over the objections of many Democrats.

Hagerman grad, jockey dies

By Jeff Jackson Record Sports Writer Robert Z. “Bobby” Adair, a well-known jockey who raced at Ruidoso Downs and other racetracks throughout the country, died Saturday at his home in Springville, California.

The 71-year-old Adair had been diagnosed with cancer in March.

Adair graduated from Hagerman High School in 1961, immediately went to work as a groom at Ruidoso Downs and soon earned his jockey license. He won his first race in 1962 at Garfield Downs in Enid, Oklahoma. In 22 years as a jockey, he won more than 3,000 races, including nearly 200 stakes races, but was best known for winning the 1972 Los Alamitos

quarterhorse championship aboard Kaweah Bar. He rode the “Palomino Express” to 32 victories, and the triumph at Los Alamitos was with the 6-year-old Kaweah Bar, who was a long shot to win. The Los Alamitos title was one of four Adair won at the Southern California track, and he also won the Champion of Champions twice and the Kindergarten

Futurity four times.

Adair was friends and peers with hundreds of other jockeys and trainers in quarterhorse and thoroughbred racing, including Bob Baffert, the trainer of this year’s Preakness and Kentucky Derby winner American Pharoah. Baffert, whose career started with quarterSee ADAIR, Page A3

City leaders are also working on updating the city’s 2011 downtown master plan, the wayfinding plan and the metropolitan redevelopment area plan.

Stark-Rankins said the metropolitan redevelopment area plan addresses development and revitalization of the railroad district.

“It’s not the most beautiful part of town, let’s just say that,” Stark-Rankins said.

Stark-Rankins said the year-long process began in March. She said the hope is to have a working draft in November or December.

Stark-Rankins said three more public meetings are planned. The next meeting is June 16 at an yet-undetermined location.

After filling out the surveys, residents were asked what they liked best about Roswell.

One woman said she liked the town’s friendliness, a man said he liked the size of the town, a man said housing and costs of living in Roswell are low, and a woman said she liked the weather, among other comments.

Curtis Michaels said Roswell is blessed to have a diversity of cultural activities, such as theaters, parks, a zoo and a symphony orchestra.

When residents were asked what they liked least, Michaels said there’s a

Kerry Moore of Roswell said the city needs more venues for children and teenagers during a public meeting Tuesday night about a new city comprehensive master plan. Residents spoke about what they liked most and least about Roswell, and about critical issues facing the city. lack of effective marketing of Roswell to the outside world.

Rey Barrones said Roswell has an inconsistent message. Barrones said not all Roswellians embrace the city’s alien culture, but he said local leaders don’t necessarily have control of the narrative about Roswell.

Barrones suggested building upon the alien theme with a space theme.

“As my dad said, if you’re given lemons, eat your lemons,” Barrones said.

Other residents complained about trash, junkyards, crime and lack of opportunities for youth.

Kerry Moore said Roswell needs more kid-friendly venues for children and teenagers.

Some said Roswell’s reputation as the Alien City did not adequately characterize the city.

Perry said Roswell is not just known for its alien

legend, but is also known as the dairy capital of the southwest and home of rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard.

When asked about the most critical issue facing Roswell, opinions varied.

Michaels said the city’s most critical issue is a low-income workforce. He said the city needs a variety of new, midsize companies to raise the local standard of living.

Greg Neal said Roswell needs qualified workers to fill higher-paying jobs. Neal said there are currently 60 openings at the Roswell Independent School District.

A short time later, a Roswell Police officer spotted a man running west across Union Avenue wearing no shoes or shirt. A foot chase began as deputies and officers converged in the area of Eighth Street and Union Avenue, focusing their search on the area to the west of Primm Drug.

Open doors of area homes were investigated and abandoned properties were searched, but Leatherman had vanished, until someone called in a description to police around two hours later.

“S.O. to 438, 439, all units, possibly have a location of that subject headed towards the Koi Park. Cor-

Officers converged near the Parks and Recreation building next to the Cahoon Park Swimming Pool and found Leatherman in the bathroom washing his face. He was arrested without further incident.

According to online court records, Leatherman was convicted in 2009 of felony receiving of a stolen firearm.

CCSO Lt. Mike Herrington said it’s unclear what Leatherman’s intentions were with the mail carrier. He’s charged with felony aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer and is incarcerated at the Chaves County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash or surety bond.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A new report says New Mexico does better than most states in placing foster children in family settings.

An Annie E. Casey Foundation study released Tuesday found 92 percent of foster children in New Mexico are in family placements. That’s a higher percentage than 43 other

states.

The study says New Mexico also does well in the percentage of children who are placed in the care of a relative like a grandparent.

Five percent of New Mexico’s foster kids are in the care of relatives. Only four states have a higher percentage.

New Mexico Voices for Children executive director Veronica Garcia says the kinship care rate speaks to the state’s cultural roots.

Improved foster care has been a focus of Gov. Susana Martinez since taking office in 2010.

The White House threatened to veto the bill because it would add $182 billion to the budget deficit over the next decade. President Barack Obama said he supports making the popular tax break permanent but wants to offset the cost by eliminating other tax breaks for businesses.

“As with other similar proposals, Republicans are imposing a double standard

by adding to the deficit to continue and expand costly tax breaks, while slashing investments and programs that serve middle-class and working Americans in the name of fiscal rectitude,” the White House said in a statement.

House Republican leaders say Congress should not be forced to offset the extension of existing tax cuts by raising other taxes.

Roswell Daily Record

Cruelty to animals makes bad publicity

When somebody’s dog gets caught in a leg-hold trap meant for a wild animal, the incident gets publicity. Meanwhile, out of sight and unreported, wild animals are getting caught in those traps.

Suddenly, in response to an alleged need that has not been demonstrated, New Mexico has a proposal to allow trapping of mountain lions, coming from our Game Commission. If this proposal is approved, Gov. Susana Martinez may someday find herself explaining on national TV why her state not only allows but has increased the scope of animal trapping.

One of New Mexico’s persistent problems is that we still have not succeeded in updating our public relations image. Much of the industrialized world still thinks New Mexico is a third-world backwater. A great way to perpetuate that negative stereotype is to get

Merilee

Dannemann Triple Spaced a worldwide reputation for being cruel to animals.

Last year the state earned a national black eye from coyote-hunting contests. It may be necessary for ranchers to shoot coyotes to keep them away from livestock, but there is something gruesome about making that into a game with prizes. A move to ban the contests did not pass in this year’s legislative session.

At the same time, the Game Commission denied a permit, effectively ending a program to house caged wolves that had been in place for 17 years at Ted

Turner’s Ladder Ranch in the Gila mountains. The ranch program was part of the wolf recovery program, which will be hurt by losing this resource.

As reported, there was no specific problem with the way the program at the ranch was being run – this Game Commission just doesn’t like wolf recovery. But wolf recovery is national policy and it will happen with or without this facility. Is getting rid of a program for penned wolves the best way to reduce the wild wolf population?

While Turner — the billionaire who created CNN — doesn’t run it any more, this is likely to stir up more negative publicity.

We can sympathize with ranchers who don’t want their baby calves getting eaten by wild predators — and with the calves themselves. The question for ranchers — and for those who make policy — is how to protect

domesticated animals while minimizing the suffering of the wild animals that threaten them.

Our values concerning animals are a mass of contradictions.

We treat our dogs and cats like family, and we even allow them to be euthanized painlessly when they’re old and sick. We slaughter cows and chickens. We hope it’s done humanely and occasionally expose a slaughterhouse scandal, but for the most part we don’t inquire too closely how it’s done.

We won’t allow horses to be slaughtered, even though it could be done humanely. We’d rather let them starve to death if their owners can’t afford to take care of them, or if they are running wild on land that can’t support them. I really don’t get that.

We allow wild pigs to be hunted indiscriminately because they are an invasive species. They carry disease and damage the environment. OK, that appears to be nec-

essary.

But I don’t get trapping. Trapping may have been a survival necessity in the 19th century, or even part of the 20th, but it isn’t anymore. Wild animals are God’s creatures just as much as domesticated ones, just as sentient, smart and capable of experiencing pain. If you have to shoot mountain lions, shoot them, accurately and efficiently, but don’t impose the suffering caused by trapping.

And if the humane argument doesn’t work, consider the economic one. Trapping makes New Mexico look bad, period.

The New Mexico Game Commission should consult with the Economic Development, the Tourism Department and the State Film Office before shooting itself in the foot — or — well, there are more apt analogies.

Pot not among ‘most dangerous’ of drugs As the debate over medical marijuana continues nationally, one bureaucratic step to lessen tensions would be to change its “drug schedule” listing. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration classifies drugs into five “schedules ... depending upon the drug’s acceptable medical use and the drug’s abuse or dependency potential.”

Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, “defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.”

Drugs lower down the scale — from Schedule II to Schedule V — represent declining risks of abuse and dependence.

Many are prescribed by physicians.

Schedule II drugs include Vicodin, OxyContin, Demerol and Ritalin.

Drugs on the more severe schedules are prosecuted more severely by federal drug-enforcement authorities.

Some drugs currently slotted in Schedule I include heroin, LSD, ecstasy, methaqualone and peyote. Yet common sense, and the votes of millions of Americans, have indicated a strong disconnect between what the public wants and the insistence of the federal government in keeping marijuana on Schedule I. People just don’t accept that a cancer patient smoking a joint to stimulate the appetite is the same as a junkie shooting up smack.

“Cannabis is legal as a therapeutic by statute in 23 states and Washington, D.C.,” Paul Armentano told us; he’s the deputy director of the National Organization for the Repeal of Marijuana Laws. “A specific compound in marijuana, cannabidiol, is exempted by statute in another 14 states. How do these laws conform to the notion that cannabis possesses ‘no accepted medical use?’”

According to a study by the Brookings Institution, there are two ways marijuana’s schedule can be changed. One is for Congress to amend the Controlled Substances Act to shift marijuana from Schedule I, “or remove it from the schedules entirely.” Unfortunately, the recent takeover of Congress by Republicans makes that less likely.

The second is for Attorney General Loretta Lynch to move pot from Schedule I. A presidential executive order would not be needed. Rather, President Obama would ask her to take that action. We urge him to do so, or, at least, explain why he won’t.

Letters Dear editor, In several articles in the Roswell Daily Record, the most recent being the May 16 edition, the reporter gives incorrect information with regard to the New Mexico Military Institute Foundation. The articles have continuously misstated that the NMMI Foundation is governed by the NMMI Board of Regents. The NMMI Foundation is a totally separate 501(c)(3) corporation, but has a Memorandum of Agreement with New Mexico Military Institute that is required by state law.

The article on May 16 also incorrectly states that the Foundation was created by the NMMI Board of Regents in 1945. The Articles of Incorporation were created in 1945 by a group of five men, only one of whom was on the Board of Regents at that time. The Foundation then was dormant until 1956 when the Articles of Incorporation were approved by the Board of Regents and filed with the State of New Mexico.

Once the Foundation was officially incorporated, its members elected its own Board of Trustees to oversee the management of the

In the United States and most of the western world, there is an ideological war with dire physical consequences. It is the war on fossil fuels. But even if you understand (as I hope my readers do) that energy is central to everything in modern society, the war is much bigger than energy. It is about freedom.

It is about control. It is about global governance.

In my book “Energy Freedom,” I make a case for why energy is so important and, therefore, why it is under attack. I posit: “What would the world be like if we could suddenly wave a magic wand and give the environmentalists everything they want?” I then detail how our lives would change and how it would not be the utopia one might first think.

While we all know we can’t wave that magic wand, we are headed toward the same

Marita Noon Guest Columnist result. It is just happening a little at a time—one regulation after another, slowly, with some people, in the name of the planet, willingly giving up freedoms in favor of a promise of security. It comes in the form of the Endangered Species Act, Corporate Average Fuel Economy and the Clean Power Plan — though the list could go on and on.

Others are not so gullible.

They see the bigger plan and are willing to be the brunt of scoff, or even persecution.

They fight for the principles upon which this great nation was founded.

This past week, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of expats in Mexico.

Repeatedly I heard: “If everything goes to hell in the U.S., this is where I am hiding out.”

While I was south of the border, I read a novel cover-to-cover, “Mountain Whispers, Days without Sun.” It was sent to me by the author, who reads my column. It is his debut novel and not the usual light, fluffy stuff I like to read around the pool. I didn’t expect to like it. But I promised I’d read it. I am glad I did.

“Mountain Whispers, Days without Sun” picks up where “Energy Freedom” leaves off.

Coleman Alderson, using a fiction format, carefully weaves the green narrative into a spell-binding thriller set just slightly more than 25 years from now—when all of the green policies have taken force — and paints a gripping picture of how the Global Energy Enforcement Organization (GEEO) takes control of every aspect of our lives, leaving people struggling to survive a bleak existence.

But not everyone is willing to abandon freedom for the neat and tidy life promised in “Progress City.” They resist being “registered” and moved to work on an organic farm or serve in “the adminis-

tration.” Even many of those who accepted the move are beginning to realize the mistake they made. The friction creates the story as the “retros” — Appalachian Mountain folks, many of whom worked in the now-closed coal mines — resist registration and citification.

I chatted with Alderson about his book. I asked: “Why are cities important?” He explained the view that cities are “manageable regions,” that it is more efficient to have people in cities where they don’t use the resources. They don’t need cars. Instead they use public transportation or bicycles.

One of the lead characters is a young man named Agent Candler Greaves who is sent to round up the rebellious “retros.” Having been raised with the “save the planet” mantra, he genuinely wants to “help guide humanity toward a harmonious existence with the planet.” But, as “Mountain Whispers, Days without Sun” makes vividly clear, the result of the GEEO’s efforts is a

Say ‘thank you’ to a vet this weekend or any other time One of my sons recently came home from a 12-month military deployment. My wife and I took a couple of days and flew to welcome him at his stateside arrival airport.

We watched soldier after soldier pick up his or her duffel bags and other luggage in baggage claims. We didn’t see families or friends hugging them and welcoming them home. My son turned the corner and came into the area and I was so delighted to see him. For the first time in one year I heard his voice and hugged him. I’m sure I was missing something. Surely there was another area where spouses, family or others were located in waiting to greet these wonderful military men

Glenn Mollette Guest Columnist and women. However, I didn’t see them. I felt like my wife and I were the only two people in waiting to welcome a family member.

I wonder if we are missing something altogether in this nation. Do we take for granted all that we still have in America? In Colorado, Americans are free to smoke pot. In many of our states we are free to gamble our money away if we

choose. We are free to chose the religion of our choice.

In Kentucky we can choose bourbon whiskey or from any number of multiplying vineyards. Gay and Lesbians can find a way to legally bond somewhere in America. Street Preachers in America can still cry out the gospel. States are crying for people to start businesses. All in all in America you can do most anything you want to do. America doesn’t ask a whole lot of us. We have to pay some taxes. We aren’t allowed to hurt people. We have a few rules to obey. We are to obey the driving laws and that’s about it.

Soldiers are called upon to lay down their lives. We do pay them. However, most of

our service people make very low wages their first few years.

I realize they have some benefits but we are asking them to fight to help protect us and maintain our American way of life.

This weekend or any weekend say thank you to a veteran or to a passing soldier.

They appreciate being appreciated. Remember those who gave their lives for us in war.

Without their sacrifice America would have been a thing of the past a long time ago.

Summer time fun time at RMAC

By Claudia I. Gonzalez RMAC Curator of Education

Summer. Time for family vacations and fun. What happens when that much-needed vacation is postponed? Well, the Roswell Museum and Art Center is here to help. Did you know that the art classes go on all year? How about our film series and gallery openings? There is so much to do and see in Roswell; we just need to open the doors and get the community involved.

As the curator of education, one of my jobs is to develop educational programming for the Roswell Museum and Art Center.

At the RMAC we offer programs on a weekly basis in the form of studio art classes, school tours, lectures and film series. Summertime around here is usually quite calm; I am looking to modify that just a tad. With school coming to a close, we will keep things exciting with new and continuous lineups.

Our signature children’s clay

classes will be back for the summer with a weeklong session in June and another in July. Children’s Clay and Throwing on the Wheel will be hosted by our resident studio manager Aria Finch.

Enroll your kids in a hands-on art class with Jessica Parham, where they’ll learn the fundamentals of studio art while experimenting with different combinations of media and mechanisms used to create art. Students will learn about artists, such as Gustav Klimt, who use multimedia and collage techniques in their work, along with a series in Generative Art. Generative art refers

to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. Students will be using windup toys and hand-built gadgets to create art pieces on 2-D and 3-D objects.

Is clay not your thing? Try your hand at an Intro to Making Comic Books course with Tiffany Pascal. Acquire the skills you need to begin creating your own graphic novels, comic strips and/or cover art.

Learn how to design characters, construct stories and much more. We welcome Amy Lynn Bondurant back for another quarter of children’s mixed media

classes. In an effort to reach all areas of art, we are continuing our musical ambition with Jonathon Gomez as he teaches String Theories and Adults Guitar. Or join Amy Lynn Bondurant in a Mixed Media class designed to enable students to gain further experience with tools and techniques in different mediums.

Another addition to the RMAC’s class schedule, Let’s Get Hooked with instructor Nicole Hancock, will reach out to new groups as students will learn basic crocheting techniques and beginner projects. Once learned, crocheting is a craft that may be continued forever.

Be part of a new endeavor at the RMAC with Made in the Shade: Summer Yoga and Art Workshops for Kids; join certified instructors Tiffany Schultz and Barbara Posuniak for what we hope to be a fun way to combine the art of yoga and visual arts. Students will move through a series of yoga poses while also working on a step-by-step visual art project. The RMAC’s con-

tinued art class for families with autistic youths in partnership with the Southeastern New Mexico Autism Society. Roswell Autism Support Group is back this summer.

With three class sessions to be held on the last Saturday in June, July and August, we invite families to join us. This is not just an art class in multiple mediums but a forum to introduce youths with special needs to new levels of self-confidence and socialization. It is free to the public.

Want times and dates? Our webpage, roswellmuseum.org, is being updated on a daily basis.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas on all our new programming. I will be happy to hear your ideas and explain our plans. To register for any of our classes, just stop by or contact me. I can always be reached at the RMAC by phone at 575-6246744, ext. 22, or by e-mail at education@roswellmuseum.org.

Metallic coating on wire mesh mostly likely zinc, not lead Q. I have a question today is related to rabbit wire or one-half-inch by one-half-inch wire. We use this to keep squirrels, snakes and birds out of our garden.

While installing this wire I noticed that it is coated with lead. In the past, we have used bird netting which worked well but over time breaks down and holes appear, thus letting these pests rob us of our vegetables. The question is, does the lead (toxic material) pose a problem over time breaking down then leaching into the soil?

Also will the plants absorb the metal and translocate them to the edible parts of

Alderson explains: “You can tell a story and capture people’s emotions more effectively than with facts and statistics. I really tried to dial back on the exposition and instead work it into the fabric of these people’s lives. My main goal is to show the impact of these mandates that result in control of people.”

the plant? We grow mostly tomatoes, chiles and a few types of lettuces.

A. Are you sure the wire mesh is coated with lead?

Most of fencing materials such as what you have described are galvanized — coated with zinc. Lead is indeed toxic if you ingest it in sufficient quantities.

Lead paint was banned from household paints many years ago and more recently from paint used for toys and furniture. The

problem was mostly from direct ingestion of paint chips or children chewing on painted surfaces.

Elemental lead (metallic lead) used to coat wire would be very insoluble in water at pH (acidity/ alkalinity) levels common in the garden environment. In this form it has a high affinity for soil particles and will bind to the soil and will not be easily absorbed by plant roots.

Since minerals must be

dissolved in water to be absorbed by plants, the chances for entering the plants and creating toxicity problems are minimal.

Even plant leaves (lettuce) that come into direct contact with elemental lead will probably not absorb the lead, but there would be a very small chance that it could be adsorbed on the leaf surface. Keep lettuce plants and whatever will be eaten from directly contacting the wire, if it is coated with lead.

Check your fencing material again to be sure it is indeed lead that has been used to coat it. It is more likely to be coated with zinc. Zinc is a plant micro-

If you’ve seen advertising pop up on your computer based on websites you’ve visited, or as you pull out of your driveway on Monday morning, your phone, without your asking it to, tells you how long it will take you to get to work, you know the scenario Alderson presents, while fiction, is totally possible.

Unless, like the Appalachian Mountain folks, we get what is going on and fight it while it is still an ideological war.

Alderson is an optimist.

In the end, it is going to be OK. If we can figure out how to put a brake on the policies and bring reason

into the discussion, we can, then, figure out how to avoid living out the future he laid out in “Mountain Whispers, Days without Sun.” The author of “Energy Freedom,” Marita Noon serves as the executive director for Energy Makes

BASE jumper dies after setting parachute on fire for stunt TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A 73-year-old BASE jumper who died after leaping from an Idaho bridge had set his parachute on fire as part of a stunt, authorities say.

A graphic video of the fatal jump, posted to YouTube on Monday, shows someone engulfed in flames and falling from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River, 500 feet below.

James E. Hickey, of Claremont, California, had apparently planned to ditch the flaming parachute and deploy a second chute in the May 7 stunt.

The initial report from the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office said only that Hickey’s

parachute deployed too late, and the coroner said Hickey died of blunt-force trauma.

Professional BASE jumper Sean Chuma told Twin Falls newspaper The Times-News that he had heard Hickey successfully performed the stunt while skydiving.

The video shows two BASE jumpers climbing over the railing of the Perrine Bridge and leaping around the same time. While one jumper glides safely away underneath a parachute, the other becomes engulfed in flames and falls quickly out of view. He arrives seconds later, and the video ends.

Blasts, manhunt, trial, healing: Boston’s longest marathon

BOSTON (AP) — The champions were already across the finish line — the elite marathoners, the ones whose names would go in the books. And Associated Press photographer Charlie Krupa had set himself up amid the celebrative crowd and snapped their triumphant pictures from a makeshift overhead bridge.

After covering 25 Boston Marathons, he knew the drill. He then hustled to the press area to edit these photos and transmit them to the world so he could hurry back to capture the unpredictable but always memorable next part of this carefree rite of spring. What would those follow-up images show this year? Would it be the runner kneeling to propose to his girlfriend at

ed amid the happy din, it didn’t immediately register to most people. They heard it, but to some, it sounded like the celebratory cannon fire that rings out over the Charles River every Fourth of July when the Boston Pops orchestra plays the “1812 Overture” outdoors.

Nothing sinister.

When he heard it, Krupa was in the press room set up at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel. He thought it must be a heavy piece of equipment falling. But 12 seconds later, there was another explosion.

Indoors, he couldn’t hear the cheering turn to screaming, couldn’t smell the stench of sulfurous smoke and burnt hair, couldn’t see the people collapsed on the sidewalk or the spectators knocking over barricades in their rush to get away from blood-spattered Boylston.

Still, Krupa knew something was seriously wrong.

As he scanned the press room, searching for clues, someone suddenly entered and announced that no one could leave.

“We’re in lockdown,” the official said, as security guards took up posts at both main doors.

Then Krupa remembered: Behind the drapes near a podium was a door that led to another door to get out of the building.

He grabbed three cameras, a laptop computer and a wireless transmitting device and ducked behind the drapes. Reaching the outside door as guards approached it, he sprinted from the hotel and onto Boylston Street.

with the largest populations and the earliest primaries have the choice of a candidate and the number of delegates to the national nominating conventions all sewed up before some states have had their primaries. Long before New Mexico holds its little Presidential Primary, states such as Texas, California and New York have already determined the winner of the parties’ nominees for presidential candidates. It is thus possible for only a handful of large-population states to determine the outcome of the primary.

Therefore, the presidential primaries in small-population states have no impact on the choice of a president and have practically no importance at all, especially if they are held late in the campaign. That is why some of us cast protest votes for “far-out” candidates who do not have a snowball’s chance of being elected, or we write-in votes for our favorite characters from history, cartoons, literature, the Bible, etc.

The solution to this situation would be to hold a national primary, where the party members in all states vote on the same day and at the same real time. This would remove the “band-wagoning” effect of the present system in which many voters apparently vote for whomever is leading in the States which have already completed their Primaries. At least, it might eliminate the feeling that their votes do not count.

So, until Congress legislates a national primary, we voters in politically unimportant states, and who still believe in states’ rights and federalism, may continue voting for our snowball candidates or writing in the names of our cultural icons.

the finish line? Or maybe an exhausted participant struggling, even crawling, across? Would it be someone clowning, arms outstretched, swooping and dipping like a stunt plane, or, as happened one year, someone completing the race by walking on his hands?

Who knew what was ahead on this festive Patriots’ Day when, as usual, state workers and schoolchildren got their mid-April Monday off and hundreds of thousands of others played hooky to descend on the city for the quintessentially Bostonian celebration of the end of another long New England winter? The holiday is a chance to see the Red Sox play one of their first home games of the new season at Fenway Park. A chance to lick the year’s first ice cream cone.

Maybe best of all, a chance to cheer on the day’s signature event: that sweaty stream of jubilant, jostling humanity known as the Boston Marathon.

On the cool, bright afternoon of April 15, 2013, near the marathon’s blueand-yellow finish line decal on Boylston Street, spectators were clapping and clanging cowbells for the stream of 27,000 runners.

Each was someone’s friend or spouse or significant other, parent, child, colleague or neighbor. Each was taking part for a reason: to set a personal best, to raise money for charity, or simply to experience the magic of America’s most venerable footrace.

Note from AP editors: A little more than two years after explosions shattered the Boston Marathon, jurors on Friday returned a death sentence for the surviving bomber. In between, the city endured terror, a manhunt and lockdown, a painful trial and the start of healing, which continues. Now, Associated Press journalists who covered all aspects of this long ordeal have collaborated on a book, “The Boston Marathon Bombing: The Long Run from Terror to Revival.” The new AP Edition (ap.org/books), published this week in partnership with Mango Media, offers stories behind the story.

By the way the jail is being expanded to house more inmates. Just a thought maybe we should spend more money in rehabilitating instead of incarceration. We already have a place in this city who sells marijuana and another one getting ready to open, why do we need another?

Instead of the city of Roswell known for something good, now we’ll be known as the alien pot place and maybe we are already called this. As you can tell I’m venting.

On one side we are trying to turn this city around and on the other side we have to deal with all the negativity that this brings.

Because of the change that is taking place in the city I have hope that we can do something good here. I still remember the words I read on a web site for the city; I’m paraphrasing but something like this “just stay in your little corner of north Roswell and all the bad here won’t affect you” really? Well go ahead give me your words on how I haven’t any compassion on those that are sick or in pain, but you’re wrong I do have compassion and that’s why I believe this is wrong and I will continue to take a stand to do what is right.

Dear editor, The city going to pot — pun intended! According to the Roswell Daily Record, a lot of discussion was brought forth on the issue of the drug farm. I would like to share this with you; “don’t become so well — adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.” Especially when it’s wrong! I wonder how many of the Commissioners and those who are on the commission, who voted for this, live in the area where it is proposed to be built? How many of those who voted for this would like a drug farm next to their home?

Maybe we could put it in your neighborhood or next to your home, oh we’ll fix it up real nice, they say you won’t even know it’s there? Isn’t this what we do, we dress up so nice on the outside but the inside is still dirty as ever. Maybe we could put it next to the solar panels north of town they wouldn’t mind. Why would you vote to allow this, is it because of the revenue that it brings in?

Oh wow! Is it really worth it? What about the cost to the voters (and I say voters because those that don’t vote, well what can I say) we are the ones who have to deal with all the issues that this brings.

Oh you can say whatever your heart desires to make people feel like it is something that is needed in this city, well take it to Artesia, Carlsbad or Hobbs.

I’m sure there are other cities that would take it in a heart beat, but in reality it doesn’t benefit the city, never mind the drug problem we have here. If you think we don’t have a drug problem, then go to the city jail and prison and

Foundation. The members of the Foundation are individuals who have made contributions to the Foundation in any given year.

The Foundation Board of Trustees consists of fourteen Trustees, only two of whom are members of the current Board of Regents.

The Superintendent serves as an ex officio member of the Foundation, but has no right to vote. No member of the Board of Regents has ever served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The Foundation has its own employees which it pays the salaries for. This includes a President and CEO who reports directly to the chairman of the board of Trustees and not to the NMMI Board of Regents or the Superintendent.

The current President and CEO is a Certified Public Accountant and manages the business of the Foundation extremely well.

Although the Foundation offices are on the NMMI campus, it is a totally independent organization.

The current endowment in the foundation is just under $50 million. It exists for the purpose of providing funds to NMMI for scholarships, building and equipment improvements and for the general welfare and maintenance of NMMI. The foundation acts independently from the Institute Board of Regents or Superintendent, but exists for the benefit of the school.

Although I am not currently on any of the various boards associated with NMMI, I was on either the Alumni Association Board of Directors, the NMMI Board of Regents or the NMMI Foundation over a 25 year period. Because of that relationship, I can positively state that the NMMI Foundation is a totally separate organization and is not under the control of the NMMI Board of Regents or the superintendent.

Any future references to the NMMI Foundation should not make a misstatement that it is under the control of NMMI. The foundation meets the stan-

Senior Circle offers a variety of exercises: aerobics, two levels of yoga, tai chi, line dancing and the most popular, Strong Bones which improves osteoporosis and wards it off. “It comes to us courtesy of Shannon Wooton of the County Extension Office.

“With so many members, we couldn’t manage without our volunteers. We have several who devote a half day a week doing

whatever needs to be done—answering the phone, helping walkins, doing mailings,” she said. “We also have volunteers for special things such as staffing tables at health fairs and labeling our newsletters for mailing!”

But Senior Circle does much more than provide a workplace for people who volunteer and exercise programs! Open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the organization offers many activities.

A movie is shown every Monday (including popcorn!). There’s a monthly book club, two health talks a month, usually featuring a physician.

Those talks are open to the public and there are always refreshments.

Robin Kenning is the newest addition to Aztec Medical Group. A certified family practice nurse practitioner, she also has a specialty in pain management. She was Senior Circle’s most recent Healthsense speaker.

Healthsense is the first and third Friday of the month at 11:30 a.m. It’s open to the public and includes refreshments. Robin is taking patients at Aztec, 300 W. Country Club Road. The phone number is 622-1411.

which will include a stop at Graceland in Memphis.

“We’re also offering a trip to England, Scotland and Wales and an Alaskan cruise.

And a first—Cuba.”

This Senior Circle group stopped at the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma, en route to New York City.

“We have a nurse here on Wednesdays to take blood pressure and we give free flu shots during flu season,” DaHarb said.

“The vaccine and supplies are provided by the hospital.”

DaHarb said activities for “mental health” are offered too, including meeting for lunch once a week at restaurants that offer members discounts, offering craft activities and classes and a monthly birthday party.

And we have quite a group that comes for morning coffee and fellowship.

Also, Senior Circle has five computers up and running on the Internet that members are welcome to come in and use during office hours. Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell provides a computer instructor who comes in once a week to teach. And free copies and faxing are offered as well.

“We have a choral group directed by Vonnie Goss. They’re wonderful and seem to be having a great time. They rehearse at 10:30 Tuesday mornings and could use more singers, especially men! They usually perform at our monthly birthday parties and sometimes go out to retirement homes to entertain.

We also have DVDs, videotapes, audio books, jigsaw puzzles and many, many books for loan. “All these things are donated by our members, and we have a large variety of all of them,” DaHarb said.

Senior Circle’s trips are very popular. “We had two bus trips planned this year. A group just returned from New York City where they visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as well as the 9/11 memorial and museum and other fun things. In September, a group will go to Nashville

DaHarb said people interested in trips do not have to be Senior Circle members, or even seniors.

Senior Circle is a resource of Eastern New Mexico Medical Center for people in the area age 50 or older.

Nationwide, there are more than 120 chapters in 29 states and more than 100,000 members.

ENMMC’s chapter, which celebrated its

meal for the spouse or caregiver. And one of the most popular features is the Senior Circle discount list of about 150 businesses in town. Most of the discounts are unique to Senior Circle members.

DaHarb said membership in Senior Circle is just $15 a year or $27 for two people in the same household.

“We’re nonprofit, so with the hospital’s support, all our activities at the facility are free,” DaHarb said.

“Of course, meals out and trips are paid by members.”

These folks have not just spotted a UFO! They are on the New York trip and are in Grand Central Station admiring one of the several decorative ceilings!

16th anniversary in April, is the largest in the nation.

Since Senior Circle is sponsored by the hospital, there are benefits at the hospital such as a free upgrade to a private room if one is available and a daily free

Smith, James lead Cavaliers past Hawks 97-89 in Game 1 ATLANTA (AP) — LeBron James scored 31 points, while J.R. Smith made eight 3-pointers and added 28 to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers past the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks 97-89 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.

Intent on bringing Cleveland its first NBA title, James sealed the victory with a soaring dunk in the final minute. But Smith was the one who ignited the Cavaliers, going 8 of 12 from 3-point range.

For the Hawks, it was the second straight series in which they’ve lost the opening game at home.

Cleveland will look to take command of the series in Game 2 Friday night.

Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 27 points. But the night really turned sour for the Hawks when DeMarre Carroll, their leading scorer in the playoffs, went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury driving to the basket with 4:59 remaining.

He was helped to the locker room, not putting any weight on his knee.

The Cavaliers took control when Smith knocked down back-to-back 3s in the third quarter. After the second one, he turned toward the Atlanta fans and blew off his right index finger and motioned toward his side, like he was holstering his pistol.

Yep, he was that hot.

Cleveland outscored the Hawks 22-4 over the final 5 minutes of the third quarter and the first 2 minutes of the fourth. In

OAKLAND, Calf. (AP) — James Harden and the Houston Rockets spent half the season finding ways to win without Dwight Howard and another chunk of the schedule with the center limited because of an injury.

Now they might have to do it again to save their season.

Howard is unsure whether he can play against the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night because of a sprained left knee, leaving the already short-handed Rockets searching for answers to replace him. The Warriors won Game 1 on Wednesday night.

“We’ve been through it this year,” Harden said.

“Those guys are ready to

come in and contribute.

Hopefully, big fella can get his body healthy and can go out there and help us.”

Howard sat out practice Wednesday at Oracle Arena after an MRI confirmed the injury. He said his knee, which was injured in a collision with teammate Josh Smith in the first quarter of Game 1, was still in pain.

The team officially listed Howard as questionable on its medical report. But Howard, who missed 41 games this season mostly due to a right knee injury, said he’ll listen to his body before deciding when to return.

“It’s a long series. We’re not going to lose our minds because we lost in

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Los Angeles might be in the NFL’s future sooner than anyone thought.

The NFL could approve a team move to Los Angeles by the end of the year, with a club playing in the area by the 2016 season.

NFL vice president Eric Grubman, the league’s lead man on a possible return to LA, said Wednesday the window for such applications that now begins Jan. 1 could be moved “to very late in the (upcoming) regular season.” The 32 team owners could vote on a team’s relocation “some weeks after that.”

The team would play in an existing stadium until a new one is built.

Grubman said there were several options, though he declined to list them beyond the Rose Bowl and LA Coliseum, which was the Raiders’ home before heading back to Oakland in 1995. Anaheim, where the Rams played before leaving for St. Louis that same

year, also could be a temporary home for a relocated team, as could Dodger Stadium.

Grubman said there has been enough progress “to the point where we think there could be at least one, and maybe two relocation proposals available to act on in time for the 2016 season. It’s not done, so I don’t label it as certain.”

Commissioner Roger Goodell also was upbeat on LA. “We’re significantly farther than we have been on any relocation in the recent past,” he said as the meetings concluded.

The Rams, Raiders and Chargers are involved in stadium projects in the Los Angeles area that Commissioner Roger Goodell has called “viable.” Grubman said there have been discussions on moving one or two teams if no acceptable stadium projects come together in the current

Arizona assistant Texas edges Texas Tech 2-1 in Big 12 tourney track coach accused of stalking a student quits TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A University of Arizona assistant track coach arrested for allegedly threatening a student-athlete with a box cutter has resigned.

School officials said Craig Carter’s resignation was effective Wednesday.

Carter pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on charges of stalking, interfering with an educational institution and two counts of domestic violence aggravated assault.

The 47-year-old Carter

coached throwing sports for the Wildcats track squad.

Court records show Carter had been in a relationship with an unidentified track athlete for the past 2 1/2 years.

He was arrested May 1 for allegedly threatening the woman with a box cutter while choking her and trying to drag her out of a classroom before she fled from his grasp.

Carter’s attorney declined comment on the case.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Zane Gurvitz drove in a run and scored the winner on a throwing error in the seventh inning in Texas’ 2-1 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday in the Big 12 Conference tournament.

Parker French (4-3) limited Texas Tech to eight hits and struck out six in a complete game for the fourth-seeded Longhorns (27-25).

Fifth-seeded Texas Tech (30-23) scored after three consecutive singles and a passed ball in the seventh inning. But with runners on first and second, French got a fly-out and a strikeout to end the inning.

Red Raiders starter Cameron Smith (6-5)

allowed five hits and one earned run in 6 1-3 innings and struck out a career-high eight. Texas Tech stranded seven base runners, including two in the ninth inning.

Texas advanced to play Baylor on Thursday. Texas Tech will face TCU in an elimination game.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning were relentless, answering every challenge from the New York Rangers before taking control of the Eastern Conference finals on Nikita Kucherov’s overtime goal.

Kucherov delivered his second winner of the playoffs 3:33 into the extra period Wednesday night, giving his team a 6-5 victory and 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series that continues Friday night at Amalie Arena.

The 21-year-old Russian, part of the high-scoring Triplets line that is leading Tampa Bay’s playoff run, also gave the Lightning a win in double overtime at Montreal in the second round.

Linemate Ondrej Palat had two goals and an assist, and Tyler Johnson — the other triplet — had his playoff-leading 12th goal, as well as an assist.

“They’ve impressed me for a long time, and now they’re impressing the world,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “It’s fun to watch.”

Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn each had one goal and an assist for Tampa Bay. The Lightning overcame an early 2-0 deficit and won despite also squandering a two-goal lead to the resilient Rangers.

The winner came about a minute after New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist made a terrific stop on J.T. Brown’s breakaway.

“In overtime, everybody’s thinking everybody be a scorer,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “Hank had stopped a breakaway right before that, and sometimes things happen.”

New York tied it at 5 on Dan Boyle’s rebound with

1:56 left in regulation. Jesper Fast scored twice, and the Rangers also got power-play goals from Derick Brassard and Ryan McDonagh.

“It was deflating, but at the same time ... we felt like we deserved the game,” Johnson said about losing the lead late in regulation.

“We worked hard and were happy with the way we played,” added Johnson, whose hat trick keyed the Lightning’s 6-2 road victory in Game 2. “Obviously didn’t want to give up as many goals, but things happen. They’re a great team. We knew if we just kept on playing, played our game, we were going to get a bounce. Luckily for us, we got that bounce before them.”

The Rangers came back after trailing 4-2, with Fast scoring his second goal late in the second period and McDonagh converting a power-play opportunity early in the third.

“We’ve got a pretty quick team and they have a quick team,” Cooper said. “ I don’t know how it looks to everybody else and I don’t know how it looks on TV, but when you’re standing there, it’s just, pardon the pun, it’s lightning fast. It’s just amazing how the skill level and the speed and how these guys can play the way they do at that high pace.”

After splitting the first two games in New York, the Rangers talked about cleaning up mistakes that cost them in Game 2, as well as the need to create more scoring opportunities against Lightning goalie Ben Bishop.

They didn’t have a lot of chances early, but did make the most of team.

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (30), of Sweden, looks back as Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat (18), of the Czech Republic, scores during the second period of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, in the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Wednesday in Tampa, Fla. Brassard scored on the first shot of the game, sending the puck over Bishop’s shoulder from the left circle. Fast made it 2-0 with the nifty backhand made possible, in part, by a big hit on Tampa Bay’s Matthew Carle. With the Lightning defenseman slow to get to his feet, Fast skated freely up the middle before taking a pass from Chris Kreider and barreling in alone on Bishop to score his second goal of the

playoffs and give the Rangers the type of start they felt they needed to reassert themselves.

But Tampa Bay would not be denied.

James returned in the second quarter and began to take control of the Cleveland offense. He scored 14 points in the period on 7-of-9 shooting, taking advantage when the Hawks tried to bait him into a third foul by guarding him with smaller players. James kept driving to the basket but managed to avoid a lot of contact.

Cleveland was poised to take a lead into halftime when Tristan Thompson dunked off a slick pass

from Matthew Dellavedova with 4 seconds remaining.

But Dennis Schroder wisely let the inbounds pass roll to nearly midcourt without picking it up, which prevented the clock from starting.

The second-year guard finally scooped it up, bolted into the lane, and rifled a pass to Kent Bazemore wide open in the corner.

He sank the jumper as the horn sounded, leaving the teams tied 51-51 at the break.

team trade with New York and Oklahoma City. A player once known for his selfishness, learning to work well with within the confines of a team led by James.

When the Cavaliers really needed Smith in Game 1, he seemed to make every shot.

Looking to get off to a quick start in front of their raucous home crowd, the Hawks jumped out to a nine-point lead in the first quarter. Atlanta shot 61

percent and James went to the bench with about 3 minutes remaining in the period after picking up his second foul.

The Cavs hit just 35 percent in the opening quarter, but a dominating performance on the boards kept Atlanta from pulling away. Cleveland outrebounded the Hawks 15-6 over the first 12 minutes, actually yanking down more offensive rebounds (seven) than Atlanta’s total output.

Anderson pitches Owner: American Pharoah Arizona past Marlins expected to race until end of year

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Chase Anderson (57) throws to the Miami Marlins during the first inning of a baseball game in Miami, Wednesday.

MIAMI (AP) — Chase Anderson worked diligently to improve his twoseam fastball during spring training and he used it to keep the Marlins’ hitters off-balance.

Anderson allowed four hits in a career-high eight innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks dealt Miami its sixth straight loss with a 6-1 victory on Wednesday night.

“Chase did a wonderful job tonight,” Arizona manager Chip Hale said.

“He mixed his pitches. I thought early in the game his fastball was electric. He was feeling it.”

David Peralta drove in three runs and A.J. Pollock stole second, third and home, finishing with three of the Diamondbacks’ six stolen bases. He had three hits and scored four times.

“If it’s there, we’ll take it,” Pollock said of the steals.

Anderson (1-1) picked up his first win of the season in eight starts. He walked one while striking out two. Anderson pitched into the ninth and left the bases loaded with nobody out, but Brad Ziegler was able to finish off the Marlins allowing just one run to score.

“I just attacked the strike zone,” Anderson said, crediting his fielders.

“They’re such a good defense. When you utilize those guys, getting ahead on strikes and the guys putting the ball in play,

you get a lot of outs that way.”

The Marlins have lost nine of 10 overall and all three games under new manager Dan Jennings.

“This is going to turn, but we’re in a storm right now,” Jennings said. “It’s frustrating.”

David Phelps (2-1) allowed four runs, five hits, and three walks in five innings.

“No one in this clubhouse signed up to lose so you’re not going to see any smiles on faces when we’re losing,” Phelps said.

“We’re ready to start winning some games.”

The retractable roof was open for the second straight night. Miami is 1-3 with the roof open. “(Chase) was really sweating the whole game,” Hale said. “I kept telling him, ‘Go change your jersey. Go change your undershirt.’ He wouldn’t do it. I think he felt that he was home back in Texas with the humidity.”

A groundout by Peralta opened the scoring and Nick Ahmed doubled down the third-base line with the infield in to give Arizona a 2-0 lead. Anderson’s groundout scored Ahmed.

The Diamondbacks pushed the lead to 4-0 after Pollock stole home as Phelps (2-1) threw to first in an attempt to pick off Peralta, who was on his way to second base. First baseman Michael Morse’s throw home was late.

NEW YORK (AP) — Win or lose the Belmont Stakes, Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah is expected to keep racing for the rest of the year.

At least that’s the plan owner Ahmed Zayat laid out Wednesday after confirming the sale of breeding rights of his Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner to Coolmore Ashford Stud near Versailles, Kentucky.

The value of the deal was not disclosed, but even before the announcement, Zayat’s son, Justin, said the family had been inundated with offers, some for more than $20 million.

“I will continue to own 100 percent of the colt until he retires,” Zayat said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “I will make all of the racing decisions. If he runs in the Belmont, and God willing wins, and we’re still fortunate, he will continue to race. This is not an issue whatsoever.”

American Pharoah, currently at Churchill Downs in Louisville, will be a heavy favorite to win the Belmont on June 6 and become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. The colt has won six races in a row after a career-opening loss, was voted 2-year-old champion and has earned $3,730,300 on the race track.

Zayat may be optimistic about running his

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Speedway Motorsports Executive Chairman Bruton Smith and two-time Sprint Cup champion Terry Labonte topped the newest group of five headed to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

best home for American Pharoah.”

Coolmore is a worldwide breeding operation with operations in Kentucky, Australia and Ireland.

Among the stallions standing at Ashford are 2000 Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, 2000 European Horse of the Year Giant’s Causeway and 2010 Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky.

“We’re very happy with the deal,” Zayat said.

“It takes two to tango.

Coolmore was very competitive. They wanted the horse. It’s a good fit. We couldn’t ask for better partners.”

Smith’s company owns eight tracks that host NASCAR events, including Charlotte Motor Speedway, site of this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600. The fiery Smith forged his company in competition with International Speedway Corporation, owners of 12 tracks that host the majority of Sprint Cup races.

Labonte, known as “Texas Terry,” won 22 races and NASCAR titles in

1984 and 1996.

Turner ran in NASCAR’s first strictly stock race in 1949 and had 17 wins. He was 46 when he died in a plane crash in 1970.

Isaac competed from 1961-76 with 37 victories. His 19 poles in 1969 stands as a season record.

Isaac died in 1977 at 45.

Cook won six NASCAR modified championships including four straight from 1974-77. He remains

with NASCAR as competition administrator.

The Hall’s biggest surprise had to be Smith, often a thorn in side of the NASCAR’s ruling France family. But NASCAR Chairman Brian France opened voting discussions by asking the panel to consider Smith’s inclusion. And Smith led the five new members, getting 68 percent of the vote.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr put 6-foot-7 Draymond Green — the runner-up for NBA Defensive Player of the Year — on Howard and often played Harrison Barnes, Shaun Livingston, Curry and Thompson with him. Kerr went to the small-ball lineup again to help Golden State pull away in the fourth quarter after Howard departed for good.

San Diego and Oakland are much further behind on any stadium projects.

“There are some really important variables that are beyond our control,” Grubman said. “Most important is what the home markets do. That will define what each of the clubs wants to do and what the membership will do.”

Colts owner Jim Irsay, familiar with moving a franchise because his father did so from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984, has little doubt the NFL will be back in Los Angeles soon.

“One thing for certain is there’s going to be an NFL team in Los Angeles in the

next couple of years,” Irsay said. “That’s exciting. The question isn’t if, but how many, I guess.”

Goodell also said: • There is “renewed interest” in staging a regular-season game in Mexico and possibly Germany. Rio de Janeiro has expressed interest in hosting a Pro Bowl.

• The league office is looking into changes in the procedures for the handling and securing of footballs before games, in the wake of the Patriots’ deflated footballs scandal. “I do anticipate changes will take place before the 2015 season,” he said.

• The NFL will continue to use outside entities such as Robert Mueller and Ted Wells when needed, but also will conduct probes internally with its own investigators.

“It’s always fun guarding those bigger guys. It’s a challenge and I enjoy challenges,” Green said.

“On the offensive end, when you try to keep your big in against our small lineup, it’s rough.”

Even when Howard played, Houston had a hard time containing Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the undersized lineups the Warriors threw on the floor. Golden State rallied from 16 points down in the second quarter behind a lineup full of shooters and held off Harden and the Rockets 110-106.

Pharoah after he is retired, as he does with many of his stallions.

The breeding rights to Affirmed sold for $14.4 million in 1979. Based on that figure and adjusting for inflation, American Pharoah’s value could be around $40 million.

Since American Pharoah is still active, stud fees have yet to be determined.

At the start of 2016, Coolmore calls all the shots and Zayat’s take is the 3-year-old would be retired.

“It’s unlikely he would race again (after this year),” Zayat said. “The values are too insane. It’s just not economically feasible to continue.”

“I think that when clubs have spent years trying to get something done and have reached that point in time where they explore their alternatives,” Grubman added at the spring owners meetings, “whether it’s in Los Angeles or any other market, and that exploration provides something that they can actually go do, then what happens is the timeframe gets defined.”

The NFL also said if a stadium is built by 2018, Los Angeles would be a candidate to host the 2020 Super Bowl. Tampa, New Orleans, Atlanta and South Florida already are contenders for the games of 2019 and 2020.

A special owners meeting could be called for August should there be enough progress in Southern California — or even by St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego toward retaining their teams.

Grubman stressed that the burden is on St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland to present attractive stadium proposals to keep their

Balancing act for Pelosi on trade WASHINGTON (AP) — As House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi delivered the signature achievement of President Barack Obama’s first term: his health care bill. Now Obama’s top second-term goal, a major trade deal, hangs in the balance on Capitol Hill and Pelosi is again on the spot.

But this time, the California Democrat, now minority leader, finds herself out of step with her party’s president — caught between his ambitions and the overwhelming opposition of her Democratic caucus to a free-trade deal many fear could harm American workers.

And it remains to be seen whether the 75-yearold Pelosi, in her 15th term and perhaps approaching the end of her congressional career, will help Obama get his trade bill over the finish line — or side with the labor unions and liberals who oppose the legislation, even though its failure would constitute a humiliating defeat for Obama.

“I really want a path to ‘yes,’ desperately,” Pelosi told The Associated Press in an interview in her office. “I would hope that we could come together on something that we’re in agreement on, but this is a vote that people will very much be voting their districts and there’s a lot of, shall we say, opinion on this in people’s districts.”

Democratic lawmakers point out that there’s little political upside for Demo-

crats to grant Obama “fast track” authority to negotiate trade deals that Congress can approve or reject but not amend. The bill, which would pave the way for a landmark trade pact with 11 other Pacific Rim nations, is fiercely opposed by core Democratic constituencies, and strongly backed by business groups that overwhelmingly support Republicans and would be unlikely to reward a Democrat for a trade vote.

Yet despite their historic majority in the House, Republicans don’t expect to be able to muster the votes necessary to pass fast-track next month after expected Senate approval this week. They are counting on Democrats to supply some two dozen votes; as of now, most involved don’t count more than 17 or so Democratic votes.

Whether Pelosi would weigh in to help move an additional half-dozen or more Democratic votes is not yet clear — nor is whether she herself will vote yes in the end, though many fellow lawmakers would be surprised if she did. She is trying to maintain her leverage, insisting that as the majority party, Republicans have the responsibility to supply the votes.

“It is something that corporate America wants very much, they have their friends on the Republican side. They should be able to produce this victory,” Pelosi said. Of House

Speaker John Boehner she said: “He’s Speaker. ... It’s up to him to produce the votes.”

But passing the trade bill is also a top priority for Obama, who after years of hands-off relations with Congress has launched an all-out lobbying campaign for the legislation, offering House Democrats everything from political cover to rides on Air Force One. He’s leaning heavily on Pelosi, pulling her into the Oval Office for lobbying last month when she was at the White House to celebrate passage of Medicare legislation; including her on the guest list about a week later for a state dinner for the prime minister of Japan; and hosting her for a one-on-one lunch.

For now, Pelosi’s declaring herself open to all sides, hoping to get to yes but also voicing the concerns of her House Democrats on worker and environmental protections, and demanding repeat briefings from administration officials who might otherwise be disregarding the concerns of the House minority. She’s called for a shorter deal than the six years contemplated by the fast-track agreement, but has kept the White House apprised of her moves.

All that has seemed to satisfy White House officials, who note the contrast with Pelosi’s Senate counterpart, Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who has declared himself a “hell

no” on the trade bill.

“Leader Pelosi has indicated that she’s going to keep an open mind when it comes to trade legislation, and I think that is all that the president has asked,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday.

Pelosi’s predicament is not unprecedented. A similar dynamic reigned in the late 1990s, when Bill Clinton was president and trying to get a fasttrack bill through Congress with Democrats in the minority in the House.

Amid backlash against the North American Free Trade Agreement, then-House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt led the opposition, and fast-track ended up failing in the House in 1998. Pelosi was among those voting no.

But she has supported some subsequent trade bills, creating uncertainty about where she will come down this time with the stakes sky-high for Obama — and for Pelosi herself.

“I would never want her role,” said Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., a free trade opponent. “I think she’s probably under enormous pressure to make sure she’s leading and working with the president and the White House on what their goals are, but also representing her caucus. ... In the end I just hope she votes with us.”

US secrecy in trade, terror pacts riles EU watchdog BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. restrictions on access to documents and insistence on secrecy are undermining trust in trans-Atlantic trade talks and anti-terror data exchanges, the European Union’s transparency watchdog said Wednesday.

Discussions between the EU and the U.S. to create a trade pact that would account for nearly half the global economy have dragged since their launch in 2013, with the issue of

secrecy prompting growing concern in Europe.

“There is a little clash of cultures, yes,” EU Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly told The Associated Press in an interview.

O’Reilly said some of the problems could have their roots in fears emanating from big scandals like the WikiLeaks cables, or the Edward Snowden revelations.

The motivation behind the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partner-

ship is to create a market with common standards and regulations. The proposed trade pact touches on most aspects of commerce, from farming to health care to cosmetics.

O’Reilly is particularly concerned that the opaque nature of the negotiations is depriving people of information affecting their daily lives.

The EU Commission, which negotiates for the 28 member nations, is campaigning to have nego-

tiating texts made public but anything that references the U.S. position has yet to make it into the public arena after a request from U.S. negotiators.

“I understand that these are trade negotiations and that people want to protect their negotiating positions,” O’Reilly said. “But there needs to be transparency at the point of draft decisions.”

6 Chinese nationals accused of stealing US firms’ technology SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged six Chinese nationals, including three who earned advanced degrees from the University of Southern California, with stealing wireless technology from a pair of U.S. companies.

Hao Zhang, Wei Pang and Huisui Zhang met at the university and conspired to steal technology from Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Avago Technologies soon after graduating in 2006, authorities said. Both companies are publicly traded chip suppliers for Apple’s iPhones and manufacture other communications-related products.

A 32-page indictment charging the six with economic espionage and theft of trade secrets was unsealed after Hao Zhang was arrested Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport as he arrived from China to attend a scientific conference. The five others are believed to be in China.

Federal officials say foreign governments’ theft of U.S. technology is one of the biggest threats to the country’s economy and national security. They are particularly concerned with China.

State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said the U.S. government takes “economic espionage” very seriously.

“This case demonstrates that the U.S. is committed to protecting U.S. companies’ trade secrets and their proprietary business information from theft. This is an important issue for the United States,” he told reporters in Washington on Tuesday.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the government was concerned and trying to gather more information about the case.

“China will ensure that the legitimate rights and privileges that Chinese people should have are proper-

ly safeguarded in the China-US contacts,” he said Wednesday at a routine ministry briefing in Beijing.

Lei said China opposes and will punish commercial espionage.

The indictment alleges that the three USC alums began plotting in late 2006 to steal trade secrets from the U.S. companies where Hao Zhang and Pang worked.

Months after their 2006 graduation, Pang sent an email to China discussing the trio’s plan to use purloined U.S. trade secrets to set up a factory in China to manufacture technology that eliminates interference from wireless communications, according to the indictment. He boasted in the same email that the technology is worth $1 billion a year in the phone market alone, the indictment says.

The men are accused of stealing “recipes, source code, specifications, presentations, design layouts and other documents marked as confidential.”

Hao Zhang made a brief court appearance Monday in Los Angeles and remains in custody. It’s unclear if he is represented by an attorney.

The USC graduates received encouragement and support from officials at the state-run Tianjin University, the indictment says.

In 2006, Hao Zhang worked for Skyworks Solutions Inc. in Woburn, Massachusetts, and Pang took a job with Avago Technologies in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Pang is accused of sending an email to two other defendants soon after, forwarding notes he took during a work meeting.

“My work is to make every possible effort to find out about the process’s every possible detail and copy directly to China,” Pang is accused of writing.=

Robert Z. “Bobby” Adair

Robert Z. “Bobby” Adair, of Springville, California, passed away Saturday, May 16, 2015, at his home on the ranch he shared with his wife of 51 years, Linda (Coffman) Adair. Bobby had been diagnosed with cancer in early March. He was 71 years old. Bobby was retired from a career as a quarter horse jockey, and was a member of the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame.

Robert Zane Adair was born October 28, 1943, in Hugo, Oklahoma, the second son of Joe H. Adair and Ruth Nell (Neill) Adair. He attended school in Boswell, Oklahoma, until the family moved to Hagerman, New Mexico in 1959 where he completed his junior and senior years, graduating from Hagerman High School in 1961.

Raised on a ranch, always surrounded by horses, Bobby knew from an early age that he wanted to be a jockey. But his schoolteacher father insisted that he graduate from high school before leaving for a racetrack. Immediately after getting his high school diploma, Bobby headed

95 miles west to Ruidoso Downs to get his start as soon as possible.

In the summer of 1961, he worked as a groom at Ruidoso Downs where he met young trainer Donald Stewart who gave him his first opportunity to gallop horses and was instrumental in helping Bobby get his jockey’s license. Bobby won his first race in 1962 at Garfield Downs in Enid, Oklahoma. Early in his career he rode at a number of bush tracks in Oklahoma and Texas, including Blue Ribbon Downs, Del Rio, Laredo and La Bahia Downs in Goliad. He also rode at Centennial Race Track in Littleton, Colorado, Rillito Park in Tucson, Turf Paradise in Phoenix, as well as tracks in Burwell, Nebraska and Park Jefferson, South Dakota.

He also established himself in New Mexico, riding numerous winners at Ruidoso Downs, Sunland Park, La Mesa Park in Raton and Albuquerque. In the course of his career he raced at numerous venues across the country from upstate New York to Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Washington state.

However, after first arriving in 1963, Bobby spent the bulk of his riding career in California, establishing himself as the leading rider multiple times at Los Alamitos and Bay Meadows Race Course, as well as during numerous race meets in Pomona and elsewhere on the fair circuit.

It was at Los Alamitos where Adair was the undisputed riding king, and was known simply as “The Master.” He held every important riding record at the track including most wins, most stakes victories and most wins in a single meet. Among the great horses he rode to wins were Go Derussa Go, Band of Angels, Native Empress, Charger Bar, Easy Treasure, Viking Anne, Don Guerro, The Plan, Osage Rocket, and Bobby’s Angel (named for Bobby by owner Ivan Ashment).

But it was aboard the legendary Kaweah Bar that he won 32 races and scored some of his most memorable triumphs, including the 1972 Los Alamitos Championship when the palomino gelding was six years old and not expected to win.

Adair won the Champion of Champions race twice, the Kindergarten Futurity and the Los Alamitos Championship four time s e a c h , a n d m a n y other stakes races all over California and the United States.

In the course of his 22-year career in horseracing, Adair was the nation’s leading quarter horse jockey for five consecutive years, and was the first jockey to be inducted into the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame. He won some 3,000 races, including nearly 200 stakes wins.

In December 1984, Bobby sustained a career-ending injury—a shattered right shoulder as a result of a fall. It occurred in a fog-related collision involving several horses in a race at Los Alamitos Race Course.

Despite having a relatively short career as a rider, and a career that ended over 30 years ago, Bobby still ranks 8th in wins among the more than 550 jockeys who have raced at Los Alamitos, and still ranks 4th in stakes victories.

Bobby Adair was highly respected by his peers, and had hundreds of friends and thousands of fans throughout the industry. He was a friend of many in both the quar-

ter horse industry as well as thoroughbred racing, including AQHA Hall of Fame inductee, the late Blane Schvaneveldt, and thoroughbred trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who had his start in quarter horse racing.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who enjoyed a successful Quarter Horse training career before moving to thoroughbred racing, spoke of Bobby minutes after he won the Kentucky Derby with American Pharoah on May 2. Baffert said during the post-race interview with NBC: “I just want to say, I have a good friend who’s having trouble right now, Bobby Adair, whom I idolized as a young boy—I wanted to be like Bobby Adair. This is for you, my man.”

On Friday, Los Alamitos Racecourse owner Ed Allred announced that starting in April 2016, the track will host a new $60,000 race named the Bobby Adair Stakes for 3-year-olds and upward at 350 yards.

Bobby retired from riding after the 1984 accident. Following his retirement, Adair worked for Los Alamitos, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park as an outrider.

But for all of his accomplishments as a jockey and all of the individual accolades—the wins, the records, the stakes races— none of those achievements were greater than the simple pleasure he took in just his love of horses themselves. Bobby loved everything that horsemanship can mean—being around horses, working with them, raising them, training them, team roping and just plain riding.

As he said in his speech when he was inducted into the Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, “I ride every day.

I want to ride every day. I love to ride every day.”

Although his injury left him with chronic, severe pain in his right arm, which he could never again raise above shoulder level, he continued competing in his favorite sport, team roping—only as a heeler, because he could not raise his right arm high enough to be a header.

He loved roping, and he was successful, winning numerous roping competitions all over the West, including the US Team Roping Championship at the national finals in Oklahoma City in 1997.

Bobby met Linda Coffman in the winter of 1963 and they were married on May 14, 1964. Throughout their lives together, Bobby and Linda were inseparable, joined together in their love of horses and everything that entailed. That included supporting each other as they competed in their respective events, and raising their daughter, Julie—a national collegiate rodeo champion—to be as devoted to all things equestrian as they were.

Bobby and Linda celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary a year ago this month in Springville.

Bobby Adair was preceded in death by his father, Joe Adair, and his brother, Joe Adair, Jr. He is survived by his wife Linda Adair, their daughter Julie Adair Stack and her husband John Stack of Rowland Heights, California, his mother, Ruth Nell Adair of Roswell, New Mexico, his brother Buddy, of Westbrook, Texas, and brother Rod Adair and his wife Dana, of Roswell. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many, many friends, as well as one surviving aunt, Geraldine Hughes, of Boswell, Oklahoma.

Funeral services will be held at The Lighthouse Chapel in Springville, California at 11 a.m., Friday, May 22, with a reception to follow at the Veterans’ Memorial Building in Springville.

Pallbearers are Johnny Lambrecht, Jim Kropf, Joe Vick, Ray Nebergall, Shaun Hadley, Danny Cardoza and Kenny Hart. Honorary pallbearers are Bill Adair, John Cluff, John Creager, Bill Glober, Larry Kleve, Judd Morse, Brad O’Neill, Brad Payne, Robert Treasure, and Charlie Smith.

In lieu of flowers, Linda and Julie request that contributions be made to The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDIF), a public charity in Elmhurst, Illinois that provides financial assistance to some 60 former jockeys who have suffered catastrophic on-track injuries, or to the United Pegasus Foundation in Tehachapi, California, which saves former racehorses from slaughter.

Funeral services are under the direction of Myers Funeral Services of Porterville, California. An online guest book can be reached through legacy. com/funerals/Myers-Porterville/.

My dad was sick the last month of his life and I’m glad he is now resting in peace. To Arsenia Lopez, my dad’s mate and caregiver the last 20 years of his life, I thank you for caring for him, putting up with him and most of all loving him, which was very hard to do at times. My dad Ernesto loved you, Arsenia, very much, he told me so. To his grandson, Timothy Jordan Rosenthal, your granddad loved you so much, he was so proud of you, you were so special to him. He loved those summers in Roswell you spent with him, driving him around in that old truck when you weren’t even old enough to drive.

My dad trusted all of us in good faith and hoped we would do the right thing by him. There is a God in heaven that sees all things and I have peace in that ... I love you dad, Becca.

B6 Thursday, May 21, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I am responding to “Tired of Talking to Myself” (Feb. 13), whose husband’s ears slam shut when she begins to speak. This is not a problem that’s exclusive to men.

Women do it as well. As a retired PA (physician’s assistant), when talking with patients, I would refer to it as selective hearing loss.

“Tired” needs to look at her own behavior because I have never seen one partner be the only guilty one. My wife can hear the ticking of the turn signal that wasn’t turned

Comics off, but she doesn’t always hear my questions or statements.

There are many reasons why it happens, but the way to resolve it is to listen when your partner talks to you. If you do, you will find that he/ she returns the courtesy. Perhaps if “Tired” gives a closer look to her own behavior, she’ll stop referring to it as a male problem.

FRANK IN PORTLAND, TEXAS DEAR FRANK: Thanks for your letter. When I asked readers for input, they heard me loud and clear and gave me an “earful:” DEAR ABBY: Focus is a strength for many men like me. I am a little hard of hearing and need to focus on what I am listening to. If you want open ears, hold my hands and make sure I am looking at your face. You will now have my attention. Tell me what you

want from me. I want you to be happy and will do what I can for you.

A LITTLE HARD OF HEARING (CHUCK) DEAR ABBY: Some researchers say women speak about 13,000 more words a day than men do. There’s a joke that explains it’s because we have to say everything twice!

JENNY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR ABBY: Men have no patience.

They only want to hear a brief, straight-to-the-point version. Women tend to tell the story from beginning to end with every detail explained so nothing is misunderstood. When men hear us talk, they will say all they hear is blah, blah, blah.

“Tired,” if you try to be patient and use the abridged version, maybe communication will get easier with fewer repeats.

HEIDI IN FLORIDA

Roswell Daily Record

DEAR ABBY: I wonder what kind of things she’s saying to him.

There’s a saying I have found to be true: “Men marry women and hope they never change. Women marry men and hope they will change.”

I have been married for 35 years and recently my wife has started pointing out every little thing I do that she thinks I should do differently.

I have reached the point that when she starts one of her observations, I say, “Could you add it to your list and put it somewhere?” and that’s the end of the conversation.

Nit-picking does not make for a great marriage.

TIM IN ARIZONA DEAR ABBY: There are three words men always respond to: sex, food and money — not always in that order. Use one of those words when talking to them and you’ll always get a response.

King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Heloise on the go! In late March, I did a HELOISE ROAD TRIP: three states, nine airports, two speeches and two newspaper visits in six days. From Dulles, Va., and Washington, D.C., to Albany and Troy, N.Y. This was a working business trip, but David, my husband, came with me, and we did find a little time to enjoy the surroundings.

First was a speech to the Bed and Breakfast Building Business Conference. Next day, we stopped in at The Washington Post, which runs my column.

Took a walk through the newsroom, said “Hi” to many friends and had a quick lunch with my editor. Next day, I stopped in at the Hearst News Bureau, then took in some sights and a quick drive by where I used to live in Arlington, Va., during my juniorhigh years!

Off to Albany and Troy for a visit to the Albany Times Union, which also runs my column.

We went for a tour of the new, BIG printing presses. You want to talk about super-size rolls of paper! Visit my website, www.

Heloise.com, for a look at some photos. Thursday night, in Troy, I was privileged to be the speaker for a fabulous event for cancer “thrivers” at the Nancy B. Clemente Cancer Fund dinner. A big Heloise Hug for all of you!

Each hotel had a “breakfast on the go” in mini-handled paper shopping bags. Of course, I saved them and used them on our trip. Here are some ways they can be helpful: • Organize small purchases in a suitcase or carry on • Stow essentials (keys, lipstick, cash, ID and one credit card) for a day of sightseeing. No big purse to carry.

• Use for trash in a rental car.

• Add tissue paper and it’s a gift bag.

• Perfect for newspapers and magazines.
