Toddler found alone near cemetery fence

By Jared Tucker Multimedia Journalist

He was found walking along a white fence at the Lake Arthur Cemetery, wearing only a diaper. He was alone, crying and bleeding from the neck, his feet full of burrs. Injuries that, according to a witness were inflicted by his mother on Lucas, the 1-year-old boy who went missing Saturday evening prompting a statewide Amber Alert to be issued.

Now Lucas’ mother, Loraine Olivas, is being held on a $250,000 cash or surety bond in the Eddy County Detention Center facing multiple felony charges while her son is recovering from his injuries in the state’s custody.

The criminal complaint

spells out the allegations against the 28-yearold mother of five. She is charged with third-degree felony child abuse,child abandonment and interfering with a child abuse investigation.

Saturday afternoon, Olivas went to see her friend Jimmy Jacobs in the 800 block of West College Boulevard and brought her two children, Leo and another boy later identified as Lucas. Jacobs left Olivas alone in the bathroom with Lucas, and when he returned to check on her, he saw her holding her hand over his mouth.

“He said he yelled (at) her and asked what she was doing but she did not reply,” the complaint states.

“Jimmy said he caught Loraine glancing down at

Olivas something and (he) looked down as well to see a knife which had blood on it.”

It appeared something had been wrapped around his neck as well, the complaint states.

Jacobs told Olivas he was going over to Washington Avenue a few blocks away to alert her mother.

When he returned, Oli-

vas had fled in a blue SUV. Jacobs found a knife on the couch where Leo had been sleeping. Detectives later observed blood on the blade. Blood drops were found on the bathroom floor, and on Olivas’ clothes when the Carlsbad Police Department later found her stranded and out of gas five miles outside Carlsbad, according to the complaint.

Oliv as told C a rlsb a d Police she left Lucas at his father’s house on West 13th Street in Roswell, but after speaking to him and searching the house, discovered Olivas had never been there and he had not seen her in three days, according to the complaint. Roswell detectives then received a second call from CCPD, stating OliSee OLIVAS, Page A3

A woman was transported to the hospital after the black convertible Mustang she was driving collided with a tanker truck at U.S. 380 and Red Bridge Road east of Roswell around 6:45 p.m. Monday. Both the New Mexico State Police and the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. The driver of the truck said he was traveling east on U.S. 380 when the car pulled out in front of him. He was not injured and his truck stopped in what appeared to be an alfalfa field on the north side of the highway. The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Information sought to locate man wanted in murder case

Submitted

Information is being sought from the public to help track down a man wanted for murder. Police want to find Steve Guardado, 27, who is wanted for the 2013 homicide of Stoarmy Joel Vargas, 22.

Vargas was fatally shot outside a Roswell residence Oct. 25, 2013, in the 600 block of Cherry Street. Investigators obtained a warrant for Guardado’s arrest last week.

Guardado, who is also known as Gordo and may also go by Steven Gonzalez Guardado, is described as 5’11”, 280 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with potential information regarding the whereabouts of Steve Guardado is asked to call the Roswell Police Department at (575) 624-6770 or Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-TIPS(8477).

Guardado

A Roswell woman whose family said she is essential to them and a hard-working member of the Roswell community was spared jail time Monday in an unusual case of leniency involving minimum mandatory drug sentencing.

Andrea Morales, 33, was sentenced Monday afternoon to two-and-a-half years of supervised probation by Fifth Judicial District Judge James Hudson on a drug and other charge.

Hudson said he was granting leniency after Morales and two of her family members testified at Monday’s sentencing hearing that she is productive member of society, a caregiver and a single mother of two boys, age 12 and 7.

Morales was charged with possession of a controlled substance and reckless driving after an Oct. 11,

Morales 2013, traffic stop by the Roswell Police Department.

Police said Morales was driving on Mission Arch Drive at a moderate speed with several juveniles hanging on the vehicle. Police said the children were falling and jumping off the vehicle while it was in motion.

Cartoon contest organizer known for inflammatory rhetoric

NEW YORK (AP) — The Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that exploded in violence over the weekend in Texas was organized by Pamela Geller, a New Yorker who rails against Islam with such ferocity that one of the nation’s top civil rights groups lists her in its “extremist files.”

Geller, 56, is head of an organization called the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

Through websites, books, ad campaigns and public events, Geller has been warning for years that Islam threatens to destroy the U.S. She famously led the campaign in 2010 — under a different group, called Stop the Islamization of America — to prevent the opening of an Islamic community center blocks from the World Trade Center site. She called it the “ground zero mosque.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization that tracks hate groups, keeps a dossier on her in its “extremist files,” call-

The law center describes her as “relentlessly shrill and coarse in her broad-brush denunciations of Islam” and notes some of her more sensational claims, including that President Barack Obama is the “love child” of Malcolm X. “I don’t think that many Westernized Muslims know when they pray five times a day that

they’re cursing Christians and Jews five times a day,” she was quoted as telling The New York Times in 2010.

In 2009, she wrote on the conservative site Newsmax that “devout Muslims should be prohibited from military service. Would Patton have recruited Nazis into his army?”

Morales was initially charged with reckless driving. Police said a search of her purse found methamphetamine.

Morales pleaded no contest to the possession of a controlled substance and reckless driving charges.

Morales had a prior felony conviction of forgery about 10 years ago, making her a habitual felony offender.

Prosecutors asked that Morales be sentenced to two-and-a-half years on the possession of a controlled substance and reckless driving charges. Prosecutors recommended sentencing Morales to one year in the New Mexico Corrections Department, with 18 months suspended and to be served on supervised probation, pursuant to the state’s habitual offender law.

Prior to sentencing, Morales’ mother, Mary Anne Morales, said her daughter has obtained a GED diploma and has been employed since her daughter’s forgery troubles about 10 years ago.

“She is a determined young woman to change, to turn her life around and to do what she needs to succeed,” Mary Anne Morales testified.

Mary Anne Morales also testified her daughter is a caring parent and helpful family member.

“She’s always helping the underdog, the needy,” she said. “We all make mistakes.”

Andrea Morales’ aunt, Angela Torres, said her niece has been her caregiver.

“She’s always been there.

She’s always helped me,” Angela Torres testified. “She is someone that loves people. She loves to work with people. Everyone makes mistakes and bad choices in life.”

Defense attorney Gokul Sripada told the judge that sentencing Andrea Morales to a year in the Corrections Department or the Chaves County Detention Center, pursuant to the habitual offender statute, would not serve justice and would have a negative impact on her current employment.

Prosecutors asked for Andrea Morales to serve at least five days in jail on the drug charge.

Sripada asked the judge not to impose the minimum mandatory sentence of five

“Drugs seem to be an issue, a problem she’s had in the past,” Sripada said.

“She’s flawed, as every person is. She is grateful for her arrest at that time (in October 2013) and she hasn’t used and it’s been many, many years.”

Andrea Morales, out of jail on $5,000 bond, said she has worked hard to quit drugs.

“It’s been 10 years that I worked so hard to leave that lifestyle behind,” Andrea Morales told the judge. “I made a poor choice and a poor decision to have drugs on me.”

Andrea Morales asked the judge not to sentence her to jail so she can be a productive member of society and so that she can be with her children.

“I just want to be there for my kids,” she said.

Hudson said the state’s habitual offender law does give judges latitude not to impose prison sentences.

RPD Detective Jon Gokey then learned a Good Samaritan named Gracie Raigoza and her kids found Lucas at the Lake Arthur Cemetery while visiting her mother’s grave. He spoke with her at the Eastern New Mexico Medical Center. Raigoza could not be reached for comment.

“She said that her children and she heard a child crying and her child told her there was a baby. Gracie said she looked up and saw a baby walking near a white plastic fence and the baby fell,” Gokey stated in the complaint.

Then Gokey learned the extent of Lucas’ injuries from doctors.

“The child was also found with numerous burrs (stickers) on his feet from walking around.”

Carlsbad police confronted Olivas with an affidavit for a search warrant, and informed Gokey of her response.

“He said she began laughing when told a witness saw her hurt the child and refused to talk again. She also laughed the entire time she read the affidavit,” Gokey said in the complaint. “Loraine also said she did not know where Lake Arthur was.”

Carlsbad detectives observed blood on Olivas’ clothing when they first contacted her, but she denied the claim.

Olivas’ former co-workers are disgusted at the allegations, they said, but aren’t surprised. They said Olivas, who supposedly has five children but custody of only two, always favored Leo over Lucas, and would allow the older boy to choke, hit and abuse Lucas.

“I think it’s disgusting,” Price said. “I used to like her, but all this, I have lost all respect for her.”

Price and Deck said every time Olivas came into the store with Leo and Lucas, they had to constantly wipe Lucas’s face and clean him up, but Leo’s appearance was clean and maintained.

“She has five kids but always acted like (Leo) was the only one,” Deck said, recalling several times she had to scold Leo for hurting his little brother while Olivas did nothing.

Deck and Price said the claim that Olivas laughed at the detective’s allegations in the affidavit is easy to believe.

SILVER CITY — Mayor Mike Morones and District 2 Councilor Lynda AimanSmith discussed a wide range of economic issues with students, professors and community members at a Western New Mexico University forum on April 29.

Morones and AimanSmith addressed concerns about jobs, wages, real estate prices, and small-business development, including the financial impact of WNMU, one of the area’s biggest economic drivers. He also suggested that the community could set a goal to double the number of students attending the university, to 5,000 overall.

“It’s not that large of a stretch. It is a possibility,” Morones said. “The staffing, the professors, and the other administration to actually handle that would be bringing in a lot of good, positive jobs, and that would stimulate the economy.”

He said Silver City should strive to increase the visibility of WNMU within the community.

co, which is known as the civil rights organization for those identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

Llerena was one of the presenters at a workshop held at the Center for Gender Equity at Western New Mexico University focused on the multiple challenges of being “undocumented and queer.”

A first-generation New Mexican who grew up and still lives in Las Cruces, she is a self-described advocate of collective social justice.

Speaking of “coming out” in Hispanic families, Llerena said parents may feel guilt and question where they may have “failed” their children. “It can be very hard to come to terms with it,” she said, adding that it frequently “takes a process to understand.” For one set of her relatives, Llerena said, “it took leaving the (Mormon) church” before the parents could accept their child’s sexual orientation.

But many people attending the workshop, including artist/presenter Gabriela Hernandez of Albuquerque, agreed that people are becoming more accepting of LGBT individuals. Social media has been a positive influence, Llerena and Hernandez agreed, “because more people know LGBT people, and it’s hard to lie about people you know,” as Hernandez put it.

Counties seeking to secure facility for nuclear waste

SANTA FE — Two counties in southeastern New Mexico have joined the race to build an interim storage site to house spent nuclear fuel from the nation’s reactors.

Officials from Lea and Eddy counties and Holtec International gathered April 29 at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque to outline their plans. The agreement between Holtec and the Eddy Lea Energy Alliance addresses the design, licensing, construction and operation of an underground storage site on 32 acres between the communities of Carlsbad and Hobbs.

Holtec President and CEO Kris Singh said the company expects to apply for a permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within a year.

Some members of Congress have shown renewed interested in the mothballed Yucca Mountain project in Nevada. In West Texas, a private firm also has plans to build a temporary storage facility.

Underwater caverns to stay off limits, mayor says

SANTA ROSA — After two expert divers from the ADM Exploration Foundation went beyond the grate to explore the caverns for the first time in nearly four decades, Santa Rosa Mayor Joseph Campos made his own dive to the cave’s opening.

Based on what he saw — including a wider opening, a barely-secured flat grate and rocky silt spilling into the cave system — Campos said he plans to put a halt to further exploration until the city can hold a summit with dive companies that conduct training at the cenote and address a number of serious safety and environmental concerns.

“It has always been one of our goals to have cave-diving in Santa Rosa,” Campos said.

Asset forfeiture fight moves down to local level

After surfing through the Legislature on a rare wave of bipartisan support, the debate over civil asset forfeiture now moves to local communities, as defenders of the controversial practice hope to preserve county and municipal ordinances as a tool in the ongoing war on drunk driving.

In the Legislature, where a discouraging word can almost always be heard on even the most “-and-apple-pie” issue, the question of whether the government should be able to seize your property without actually proving you guilty of a crime seems to arouse the libertarian in even the staunchest law-and-order advocate.

The bill, sponsored by Ruidoso Republican Rep. Zachary Cook, passed both House and Senate without a single dissenting vote despite dire warnings from the Department of Public Safety that ending asset forfeiture absent a

criminal conviction of the property’s owner would have an “indeterminate but substantial”

“They listened to us politely, thanked us for our time, and then ignored us completely,” said Jack LeVick, executive director of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association, who called the changes to state asset forfeiture law “basically a win for drug dealers and defense attorneys.”

LeVick, like the governor,

strongly objects to proponents of the reform characterizing asset forfeiture practices as “policing for profit.”

“There’s a misconception where people think law enforcement officers drive around looking for people to take their money,” he said. “That’s totally untrue.” But the law enforcement case was not assisted by Las Cruces City Attorney Harry S. Connelly Jr., who was caught on video last September exulting over the seizure of a drunk’s “beautiful” Mercedes sedan. Ironically, that particular vehicle was ultimately returned to its owner, but the impression lingered that at least some cops and prosecutors were as motivated by revenue enhancement as by the pursuit of justice.

Although no one knows exactly how much money the practice generates, the DPS argued that asset forfeiture revenue is “critical” to funding law enforcement

operations, particularly in smaller communities and rural counties. And in her signing message, the governor warned that without this revenue stream, “it is more critical than ever before that every county and municipality, as well as the state Legislature makes a stronger commitment to fully fund our law enforcement agencies so that they can continue undertaking complex investigations, protecting the public, and protecting themselves while doing so,” That’s fine with Steven Robert Allen, public policy director of the ACLU. “Look, we know there are a lot of honorable, dedicated police officers out there, and they have a tough job,” Allen said. “But it’s up to legislators to see they’re properly funded. It’s not the job of a law enforcement agency itself to trawl for money.”

While Allen is firmly convinced

the revised state law trumps any county and municipal ordinances, others would like to preserve these efforts to curb drunk driving.

“It’s a tool in our arsenal,” said New Mexico MADD spokesman Bert Parnall. “MADD’s mission is not to get criminal convictions but to get drunk drivers off the road. Administrative remedies like vehicle forfeiture and license revocation by the DMV aim to do that. In the hands of a drunk, a car becomes a deadly weapon.

Take away the car and you take away the weapon.”

“We recognize the people have spoken,” Parnall continued. “The bill passed unanimously. But we also believe there needs to be a balance between civil liberty and the right of the public to be safe on the road.”

Editorial

Tax collectors don’t get a pass Some pay their fair share of taxes, while others pay too little or too much.

In a just society, taxpayers are allowed due process when they think government has hit them with tax bills they do not rightly owe.

In Colorado, that due process can be seen as an asset reserved only for those who can afford it. That is, in part, because the law requires taxpayers to post the full amount in dispute, plus interest and penalties, before commencing a court appeal. Alternatively, they can post a bond for twice the amount assessed. Those who can’t do either have no option other than an appeal to the taxing entities seeking the funds, which are not objective arbiters.

Those who can post the full amount in dispute, or a bond worth twice as much, often have no resources left for an appeal. This puts the taxpayer at an unfair disadvantage to the tax collector — who already has the full resources of a bureaucracy to work with.

Senate Bill 279, which passed 6-0 out of the Senate Local Government committee Tuesday, would even the playing field. It would make Colorado a more just environment for businesses, individuals and families.

The proposed law would apply to all state and local taxes, with the exception of property taxes. Given some of the enormous sales-tax miscalculations assessed against businesses, the law would make our state more business friendly.

Advocates of the law told legislators about Cindy Churchill, 57, who owns a small estate-sale business in Lakewood.

When someone dies or moves into assisted living, Churchill assists caregivers and executors in taking care of the unclaimed possessions by selling, donating, or disposing of everything left behind. She’s like a professional yardsale facilitator.

Her business is classified as a “roving vendor” by the state. The law regarding sales-tax collections for businesses like hers is not clear in the least. After learning she did not need to collect sales taxes, she conducted business for years without doing so just like her competitors. In 2012, the state billed her $287,000 for unpaid sales taxes over the past eight years. Churchill was told to post the entire amount before initiating any appeal to a third-party court. She didn’t have the money, as she had not collected it from customers. With the help of an attorney, she accepted a settlement of $11,000 from the Department of Revenue — money she never collected from buyers and struggled to pay.

Because of this pay-up-front arrangement, the Council on State Taxation gives Colorado the third worst ranking in the country on its Scorecard on Tax Appeals & Procedural Requirements.

This country was founded on due process of law, and tax collectors should not get a pass. The full Senate and House should put this bill on the governor’s desk. Government and taxes are of, by and for the people — not of by and stacked against them.

Nuclear waste: Liability or asset, which is which?

Occasionally, I get a question from my column like: “What do we do about the nuclear waste from those nuclear power plants?”

Before I answer the question, I have to ask what they mean by waste. It is not a trick question but I do need to understand what they actually know or what they have heard and just repeating someone else’s sound byte.

Once we are both talking about the same radioactive waste, I can clarify that it is not waste but a by-product of a nuclear reactor. Those by-products are just another form of a raw material or asset with potential value. To call it a waste or radioactive waste is a misuse of the word waste.

Let’s take a look at another raw material oil. When oil is just sitting in the ground it is absolutely useless because it is not yet a valuable resource. Once the oil is

Martin Kral Guest Columnist extracted, it is still of limited value until it is refined into many by-products. My point is that the biosphere has lots of raw materials and uranium, thorium and other elements are all just raw minerals that have no value until they are re-purposed as a resource.

In the case of today’s commercial nuclear power plants, 99 percent of what is considered waste is still a source of energy for an advanced molten salt reactor (MSR). At most, only about 1 percent of all the unused fuel is made up of radioactive actinides that have not been commer-

cialized yet. This relatively minute amount of material should be stored in a safe place, preferably where those mischief people can’t get to it.

We need to call the alleged waste what it really is: unused nuclear fuel. Another term that is used to reference this unused fuel is spent nuclear fuel. Another question asked is: “why doesn’t the reactor consume all the fuel?” That has to do with the technology and metallurgy of the 1940s and ‘50s. Those early reactor designs used a solid uranium fuel encased in zirconium clad rods and placed in the reactor. After about three years, the zirconium starts to harden with only 3 percent of the uranium fuel used up. Before they became brittle (and dangerous), they are replaced with newer solid fuel rods.

Currently, all the unused nuclear fuel (97 percent unused) from each nuclear

power plant (NPP) is stored at their site in two forms.

The first 5 years, the unused portion of the fuel rod is cooled down in water pools.

The rods are then removed and placed in a concrete/ metal cask and stored above ground in a secured area on the plant site. Once placed in the cask, there is no need to transfer them to another location, temporary or permanent.

The ideal would be to build an advanced MSR at the existing NPP location and start using the ‘waste’ as fuel, which is a $39 billion asset. There is definitely no need to waste billions to build a interim retrievable underground storage facility for this asset as proposed between Carlsbad and Hobbs, NM. Andrews County, West Texas, has proposed to build an interim solution See KRAL, Page A5

A little bit of exercise is better than no exercise at all DEAR DOCTOR K: You often recommend exercising for 30 minutes a day, most days of the week. That target intimidates me. Is it worth it for me to exercise less, say 15 minutes, three days a week? Or is there no benefit unless I commit to the full 150 minutes per week?

DEAR READER: I’m glad you asked that question, because there are a lot of people who are daunted by the thought of exercising that much — and therefore don’t do it at all. It is true that I do advise 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week. But two recent studies, while not changing my view that 150 minutes is best, show that less than this still brings benefits.

First, let’s establish what

Ask Dr. K

United Media Syndicate we know: Regular exercise protects you against many major diseases. That includes heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression and even some cancers.

In fact, there are no medicines yet invented that can protect you against these diseases as well as regular exercise.

But how much exercise? Two papers published recently have made me think

carefully about whether my emphasis on the 150-minute-a-week goal is right for everyone.

One research team analyzed studies of physical activity in over 800,000 people. The more time that people were sitting down each day, the greater their risk of heart disease and cancer.

The people who spent the most time sitting down, compared to those who spent the least time, had a 24 percent higher risk of dying prematurely. And they had a 90 percent greater risk of getting diabetes.

Another research team in Denmark compared death rates in regular joggers, light joggers and non-joggers.

Light joggers were those who jogged at a slow or moderate

pace just two or three times a week, for 60 to 145 minutes. Not surprisingly, the light joggers had much lower death rates than the non-joggers. But surprisingly, the light joggers also had somewhat lower death rates than the regular joggers.

I’m not sure I believe that last result, given what so many other studies have said about the benefits of regular jogging. But I do absolutely believe that regular light exercise brings more health benefits than being sedentary. And the exercise doesn’t need to be jogging.

In other words, exercise is on a spectrum. On one end is no activity; on the other end is 150 minutes or more See DR. K, Page A5

Help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Be Kind to Animals week animal lovers with kids.

Taking on a more fantastical approach to human-animal relationships, the DVD of “The Flight of Dragons” is a Rankin/Bass classic animated movie. Carolinus, the green wizard, is worried that the constant conflict between technology and magic will render magic obsolete. His attempts to convince the world of magic and the world of technology to coexist have failed.

The only option left is to seal the world of magic away. Carolinus’s brother, the red wizard Ommadon, sets out to conquer the world. Carolinus summons Peter from the modern world to lead a group of heroes to defeat Ommadon.

With a fire-breathing dragon, an outlaw elf and a noble knight as comrades-in-arms, Peter applies modern-day logic to battling ages-old evil.

Dragons and humans, especially wizards, rely on each other for survival and trust each other implicitly. Though directed towards children, adults should get just as much enjoyment from watching “The Flight of Dragons.”

With their love and companionship, animals help to make our lives better every day. But sometimes, to our utter amazement and everlasting gratitude, animals literally save our lives. “Daisy to the Rescue: True Stories of Daring Dogs, Paramedic Parrots, and Other Ani-

mal Heroes” investigates over fifty of these heroic animals with detailed accounts of their exploits.

The book asks important questions about why these animals act the way they do — often putting themselves in harm’s way in the process.

The bond between animals and humans is often shared in literature and movies. Robert Briggs, Circulation Department Supervisor, notes that in media, the relationship between humans and animals goes beyond simple adaptation and shared history; it is portrayed as destiny. He shares books and a film related to the bond between humans and animals.

In 1939, after surviving a crash in a French battlefield, Czech airman Robert Bozdech saved the life of his pilot and then, in spite of the dire circumstances, a small German Shepherd puppy found in an abandoned farmhouse. Damien Lewis’ “The Dog Who Could Fly: The Incredible True Story of a WWII Airman and the Four-Legged Hero Who Flew At His Side,” is a dual biography of a man and his wartime animal companion, Ant, the dog adopted by England’s Royal Air Force.

Unable to simply abandon the puppy, Bozdech hides him in his jacket as he escapes from hostile territory.

Ant grows to be a constant companion to Bozdech, even accompanying

him during missions. Even after he became incapable of flying with his human companion, Ant loyally awaited Bozdech’s return during every mission. “The Dog Who Could Fly” is an amazing testimony to the power of friendship that can form in even the most direful of situations. For his research, Lewis contacted Bozdech’s children and gained access to his personal wartime memoirs as well as letters home and other papers related to his military experiences.

Some of the most poignant books are found in the children’s section of the library, and books about animals are no different. Juanita Havill’s “Call the Horse Lucky” is a picture book about animal rescue. Bike riding in the country with her grandmother, Mel sees a despondent, malnourished horse alone in a corral.

Saddened by the neglected state of the horse, Mel and her grandmother alert an animal rescue group.

The horse is moved to a therapy ranch, where Mel is able to volunteer and become closer to her new friend. Nancy Lane’s watercolor paintings deftly convey the emotions of both the horse and Mel. “Call the Horse Lucky” is a thoughtful tale about the effects negligence can have on animals, how the love of animals can save lives, and that even a young person can change things.

This is a great book for

Dear editor, I fell the night of April 28 on my way to get water from the Circle K on N Main Street, here in Roswell. One of the things that keeps popping up in conversations about the fall disturbs me. I have been told, even by the store clerk, “you should sue them. Why? Can we sue the sun for it’s daily path into night? Or the moon for its current position?

I tripped, it was not intentional, I have walked that same path daily for over a year, never had a problem, until Tuesday night. Could the store eliminate the issue? Sure, they could taper the rise like they did on the other side of the store. Is it their fault that I tripped? No, any more than it was the Sun’s fault for it being dark outside, or my fault for the water bottle being empty when I wanted water (well maybe, after all, I did drink all of the water.)

But, the point is, in a Society where we are all so quick to judge — like the two women in the car who saw me fall, but ignored their opportunity to help another — assigning blame has gotten out of hand.

I felt their judgment, their belief that I was just another drunk or druggie

falling on the sidewalk even though I was sober.

Their non-reaction made me wonder what kind of life experiences they have had to be so removed from compassion for other people.

The deputy who drove on by, ignoring the woman down on the sidewalk, who was signaling distress, made me wonder, have we become so cynical with the circumstances of the humans that we are blind to simple solutions?

The man who helped me, Steve, walked past me to go into the store, and only helped because I asked for him to help me up since I had injured my power arm, I had no leverage to get up.

Yes, it hurt then, has hurt all week, and probably will hurt some more before it is done. But suing them, is not the answer. My being more conscious of where my feet are going sounds like a good solution. Not every bad or harmful thing that happens in life needs to involve an attorney or an insurance company. Personally, I could live the rest of my life and be very happy to never see either of them.

I did send the company an email, suggesting that they could improve their customer safety by repairing the sidewalk before

their store. It’s up to them how they respond to it.

Am I going to beat them up if they don’t? No, it is not my responsibility to make them be responsible, anymore than it is for me to make the two women who refused to help, be more compassionate.

I have a list of good things that happened during the fall — no broken bones, teeth, no scars on face, or chin, just some sore muscles, a little twist to my wrist, and some experiences for my wounded veteran in the current book. My injuries will heal, so I will live to finish writing my book series set in New Mexico! No attorney needed!

The sad part, is the store has still not responded as of May 2 nor has it fixed their sidewalk.

Perhaps, lawsuits are needed to ensure proper corporate behavior in keeping their customers safe?

As for the deputy, and the two women, we will say a prayer for them.

Diana Connell Roswell

Dear editor, Since 1990, I have looked forward to participation in the New Mexico Senior Olympics. I especially loved being involved in the talent competition.

Up through last year, my

wife and I earned many medals and ribbons mostly in the talent division.

Our self-esteem soared after each accomplishment. Now, because of the new rule changes, we can no longer compete. How sad. To force 85-year-olds to compete with 50-yearolds and across categories, in talent, is highly questionable. This decision runs parallel to having all athletes compete in one category and one age group. (All other athletes enjoy the luxury of fiveyear increments.)

The board has violated their own mission statement of promoting the greater quality of lifestyles with constructive recreational activities to all seniors. Your new rules are a step backwards for older seniors and a step forward for professionalism in the Talent division.

Is selective competition really your goal? Won’t you please reconsider?

By your words, “You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.”

Howard Becker Roswell

Dear editor, The two sides of the debate on homosexuality are crystal clear. One side says that homosexuality is a learned or chosen condition. The other side says it

is a condition a person is born with like hair or eye color.

The people who think it is a learned condition never seem to address how or when it is learned, or chosen.

People do not become homosexuals when they are 30-years-old. If homosexuality is a chosen condition, it would seem to me that it would be chosen at age 11 to 13, about the time of puberty. How in the world could anyone believe that a 13-year-old boy or girl would choose to be a homosexual knowing the misery and grief that choice was going to cause them. If a teenager made a conscious choice to be homosexual, he or she would have to know what homosexuality is and what it’s consequences are. Countless teenagers commit suicide every year because they are homosexual and many people have the gall, nerve and ignorance to say they chose that way of life. talk about the height of ridiculous.

I doubt that 13-yearolds even know what homosexuality means. I do believe that at about that age, they begin to realize that they are “different” but they do know that this difference makes them miserable. They could not possibly choose to be that

miserable.

When homosexuality is shown on the TV or discussed by people, the discussion almost always centers around adult homosexual activities, particularly homosexual sex and gay or same sex marriages.

Homosexuality is not solely an adult phenomenon. All those teenagers who commit suicide never get into the conversation.

All those homosexuals we see on TV are the strong and lucky who survived the hell of teenage homosexuality. How about those thousands of young people who are still suffering because of people’s ignorance and insensitivity.

It is strange to me how people use the Bible to validate their beliefs about homosexuality but seem to completely ignore what the bible teaches about love, tolerance, acceptance, kindness, and forgiveness.

I would like one of the letter writers who degrade and demonize homosexuality as sinful and immoral to write a letter explaining how, when and why, or under what circumstances they think people choose homosexuality as a way of life.

By Loretta Clark Roswell Public Library Be Kind to Animals Week is celebrating its 100th anniversary to raise awareness about animals in our homes and communities, and honoring the unique bond between humans and animals.

All animals deserve to be treated humanely, both family pets and animals in the wild.

This is also National Pet Week, acknowledging the more than 200 million pets that enrich our lives each and every day. People often view pets as part of their family and they forge a special bond. Pets play many important roles in our lives as companion, confidant and protector.

While dogs and cats are the most the popular pets, many other species also make good pets.

The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., offers many resources such as books, DVDs and Internet databases containing information on specific wild animals, to selecting and caring for a pet. The library is perfect place to experience tales of animal friendship. If “dogs (and other animals) are man’s best friend,” let the library be man’s best reference resource.

Berkeley’s Mark Twain project reveals cache of new writing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Scholars at the University of California, Berkeley have uncovered and authenticated a cache of stories written by Mark Twain when he was a 29-year-old newspaperman in San Francisco.

Many of the stories are 150 years old.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports Twain wrote some of the letters and stories at the newspaper’s offices when it was

called the San Francisco Dramatic Chronicle.

Twain’s job included writing a 2,000-word story, or “letter,” every day and sending it off by stagecoach for publication in the Territorial Enterprise newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada.

He wrote about everything from San Francisco police to mining accidents, all with varying degrees of truth and humor.

ALBUQUERQUE — The donated cadavers of friends and family were memorialized recently by UNM medical students. The cadavers are donated to the anatomy lab and are used to further student’s education.

The annual memorial was held at the Newman Center, across from Dane Smith Hall on April 25 and lasted from 10 a.m. until around noon. Leah Lucero, a first year medical student, was elected along with Michelle Sandoval to head up the press committee for the memorial, she said. “The theme of all the speeches (at the ceremony) was saying, just ‘thank you.’ Not only for teaching us but them donating their bodies is going to benefit humanity eventually because all of us are training to be healthcare professionals. There’s no way we could obtain this knowledge without working on the bodies,” Lucero said. “We could really never learn this from any other means, not from anatomical models, not from textbooks and I just felt so grateful by the end of the whole experience for all that I learned. By the end I don’t call them donors anymore; I tend to call them teachers.”

At the end of the ceremony, bonsai trees, donated by the HSC Student Council were given to the family members as gifts, she said. The memorial concluded with a dove-release outside The Newman Center. — New Mexico Daily Lobo

Dean says he quit after disagreement over goals

ALBUQUERQUE — David Herring, UNM’s School of Law dean, resigned because of disagreements with faculty members over two goals he had articulated when assuming the position in May 2013. The resignation was announced April 28 by Provost Chaouki Abdallah, who said it will be effective July 1. Herring will remain at the law school as a tenured faculty member. “It’s just a poor fit between me and the law school faculty at this point,” Herring said.

“I have certain goals that I articulated from the beginning when I joined this law school about two years ago.

The faculty was excited about those goals but now they’ve changed their minds

Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, on Monday announced the name they picked for Britain’s newborn princess, a choice seen as a tribute to both Prince William’s parents and grandmother, the queen, as well as a link to Kate’s family.

The princess, the second child of William and Kate, will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, royal officials said.

The birth of Princess Charlotte marks a new chapter for William and Kate, widely seen as the monarchy’s most modern, popular couple. But the names they chose are firmly rooted in royal family history. Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, appears to be a nod to the newborn’s grandfather, Prince Charles.

The baby’s middle names honor Queen Elizabeth II, the infant’s 89-year-old great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William’s mother and the baby’s grandmother.

Charlotte also features in Kate’s family, as the middle name of her sister, Pippa Middleton.

Spring snowstorm causes power outage in north

ENCHANTED CIRCLE — An April 26 storm blanketed the area with seven inches of snow, which knocked out service to several communities, though Red River seemed to be untouched by a majority of the outages, according to Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. Power went out at about 4 a.m. and was touch and go from 9 a.m. on as the storm continued to sprinkle snow over the area. Kit Carson’s crews were out into the next day knocking off the snow and ice that had accumulated on electric lines. “When it rains, then freezes and snows on top of it, the snow grabs onto the ice and weighs the lines down,” said CEO Luis Reyes. This makes the heavy lines slap together in the wind. To compound the problem, when the ice and snow starts to melt off the lines they whip up and down, causing electrical interruptions throughout the storm. — Sangre De Christo Chronicle

Missing man found dead about mile from his home

TAOS — A Cerro resident was found dead on April 28 in an arroyo approximately one mile from his home after being reported missing the previous day. Investigators said there were no obvious signs of foul play in the death of Elton Moy, 60, who reportedly suffered from a medical condition. But Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said the precise cause of his death had not been determined. “This matter will be investigated as a homicide or suspicious circumstances until the evidence rules that out,” the sheriff said. A friend of Moy called the Taos

One accused gunman in shooting outside Muhammad cartoon event was well-known to FBI

WASHINGTON (AP) — Since at least 2007, the FBI has been able to recognize the voice of Elton Simpson — one of the men suspected in the Texas shootings outside a contest featuring cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.

Agents heard the young man from Phoenix talk about fighting nonbelievers for Allah. About plans to travel to South Africa and link up with “brothers” in Somalia. About using school as a cover story for traveling overseas.

Simpson was arrested in 2010, one day before authorities say he planned to leave for South Africa.

But despite more than 1,500 hours of recorded conversations, the government prosecuted him on only one minor charge — lying to a federal agent. Years spent investigating Simpson for terrorism ties resulted in three years of probation. He also was ordered to pay $600 in fines and court fees.

Then, on Sunday, two men whom authorities identified as Simpson and Nadir Soofi opened fire in a Dallas suburb on a security officer stationed outside the contest.

The deliberately provocative contest had been expected to draw outrage from the Muslim community. According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad — even a respectful one — is considered blasphemous, and drawings similar to those featured at the Texas event have sparked violence around the world.

25-year-old NYPD officer shot in the head while stopping man carrying a gun dies from injuries

NEW YORK (AP) — A 25-year-old police officer shot in the head over the weekend while attempting to stop a man suspected of carrying a handgun died Monday from his injuries, the third New York City officer slain on duty in five months.

Brian Moore, who was in a coma after undergoing brain surgery following the Saturday evening shooting, was pronounced dead at a Queens hospital with his family at his bedside, including his police officer father, uncle and cousin.

Hundreds of uniformed officers stood at attention outside the medical center and lined up down the block to salute the ambulance carrying his body out. Afterward many could be seen crying and consoling one another.

“He proved himself to be an exceptional young officer,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said, noting Moore had made more than 150 arrests in less than five years on the job and earned meritorious service medals.

Private graveside services were held for long time Roswell resident Wm. Glenn Dennis who passed away Tuesday, April 28, 2015 in Roswell. The service was conducted by Pastor Troy Grant under the direction of La Grone Funeral Chapel.

GOP field grows: Tech exec Carly Fiorina, retired doctor Ben Carson launch White House bids

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former technology executive Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson joined the rapidly expanding 2016 Republican presidential class on Monday, casting themselves as political outsiders in underdog campaigns, eager to challenge the elite of both parties.

In announcements separated by both geography and style, the two also highlighted the possibility that they can help the GOP expand its appeal among an increasingly diverse electorate. Fiorina is likely to be the only prominent woman to seek the GOP nomination, with Carson the only African-American.

“I’m probably never going to be politically correct because I’m not a politician,” Carson declared at an announcement speech in his native Detroit, where he was raised by a single mother in what he called dire poverty.

To be sure, he’s a politician now. But not, he said, like the others.

“It’s time for people to rise up and take the government back,” said Carson, a favorite of the GOP’s tea party wing. “The political class won’t like me saying things like that. The political class comes from both parties.”

Fiorina, former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., chose social media and a nationally broadcast morning TV network show to launch her campaign.

She is already laser-focused on Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As the only woman in the GOP field, she sees herself as uniquely positioned to go after the dominant Democrat in the 2016 race.

Jean-Marie Le Pen suspended from French far-right party over controversial remarks

PARIS (AP) — French farright leader Jean-Marie Le Pen was suspended Monday from the National Front

A7

by his grandchildren, Noel and Sara Abbott, Kelly and Stephanie Abbott and Cassandra and Paul French, and his four great-grandchildren Mia, Max, David and Will.

He served as a funeral director for many years in both Roswell and Las Cruces, New Mexico. Upon his retirement he pursued his love for the arts as a bronze metal sculptor in Roswell and Lincoln, New Mexico. He was one of the three founding members of the International UFO Museum and Research Center, a facility of world-wide renown of which he was most proud.

Glenn was a lover of the arts, his animals and his family. Known for his welcoming smile and good humor, he will be missed by his family and friends.

The family appreciates the compassionate care he received at Mission Arch Care Center in his declining years. Donations may be made to the Roswell Humane Society.

Arrangements are under the personal care of LaGrone Funeral Chapel.

Mary Ann Kelly, age 89, of Roswell passed away on May 3, 2015. A complete announcement will be made when arrangements are finalized.

Arrangements are under the personal care of LaGrone Funeral Chapel. party he built into a political force over four decades after a series of controversial remarks about Jews and Nazis put him on the fast track to disgrace.

The party’s executive bureau met Monday and decided to suspend Le Pen’s membership in the party he co-founded, pending a party-wide vote on abolishing the position of honorary president for life.

In a statement, the party said a majority of its leadership supports doing away with that title, held by 86-year-old Le Pen since 2010.

The move will be put to a vote of all party members within three months, the statement said.

Le Pen was censured after he had reiterated that Nazi gas chambers were a “detail” of World War II, for which he had already been convicted in court, and had praised Philippe Petain, the head of the collaborating Vichy government.

Many watched big fight for free on small screens, but that may not signal cable exodus yet

NEW YORK (AP) — It should have been a proud moment for TV: A muchhyped sports event drawing in millions of paying viewers and showcasing the clout still held by traditional media heavyweights.

Instead, the broadcast of Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas was marred by technical snafus and got sucker punched by Internet streamers, exposing the industry’s vulnerabilities.

An estimated 3 million households were expected to buy pay-per-view access to the fight at nearly $100 a pop Saturday night. But the heavy demand created problems for some cable and satellite TV subscribers who tried to order it at the last minute, delaying the start of the fight.

Albuquerque officials briefed on Taser audit

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Albuquerque City Councilors briefed on a recent scathing state audit that uncovered a cozy relationship involving a former police chief and Taser International expressed varied opinions on the review Monday.

One said she wants to examine the city’s procurement codes, while another questioned how much disclosure is necessary by city officials and employees who might work as contractors.

Two councilors last year requested a review after becoming concerned about a nearly $2 million no-bid contract for body cameras and video-storage software awarded to Arizona-based Taser. Councilors Ken Sanchez and Klarissa Pena have said the city’s procurement and employment policies need to be toughened.

State Auditor Tim Keller briefed elected officials at Monday’s City Council meeting on the yearlong review that found a disregard and circumventing of the city’s process for competitive contracts. He urged the city to require the highest level of disclosure.

Keller has said Albuquerque’s former police chief, Ray Schultz, likely violated

city and state ethics laws in accepting a job with Taser and having overlapping jobs. But whether Schultz can be prosecuted may depend on the legal question of whether his consulting amounted to employment by and representation of Taser, Keller said.

Schultz is now assistant police chief in Memorial Villages, Texas. His attorney, Luis Robles, has said Schultz didn’t do anything wrong, adding that the city budget office led the procurement process and his successor made the final decision to award the contract.

Councilor Trudy Jones said many in the city make a living as contractors and asked Keller at what point does disclosure become necessary.

“I think you draw the line when the contract is a no-bid contract,” responded

Keller, suggesting that perhaps a full-time employee should face more scrutiny about outside work than a part-time employee. “I see no downside to asking for as much disclosure as you can.”

Keller told reporters last week during the release of his review that Schultz gave Taser an unfair advantage for the 2013 contract in the final days of his tenure with the city, even sending a Taser salesman an email saying the process was “greased.”

Speakers urged the council to crack down on corruption.

“Quit giving people the opportunity to get greased,” Nora Anaya, 64, an Albuquerque resident, told councilors.

in district play.

The NMMI golf team did exactly what it needed to do Monday to advance to next week’s state tournament: win the District 4A-AAAA meet. Playing on their home course, they took the team title handily, topping second-place East Mountain by 27 strokes: 308 to 335.

But more than that, Colt Pongthong Thongyai won the individual title with a 75, while teammates Bret Anaya and Jamie Corrola were just one shot in back with 76s. Eduardo Gallegos wrapped up the top four with an 81 while No. 5 Juan Garcia finished with a 90.

“Like I always say, it’s one thing to go to school and play golf. It’s another thing to go to New Mexico Military Institute and play golf,” said Institute head coach Crae Fields. “So all the extra things that those guys have to do and put up with, and for them to follow through like they did and lock it up, yeah, It make me proud.”

Junior Thongyai, who shot his second-lowest score of the season, said the key to his game Monday was on the greens.

“I putted well today,” he said. “I sunk like a 60-foot putt. I did well today.”

He and his teammates — who Fields said came through when

they needed it — will head to Albuquerque Sunday for the state AAAA tourney.

“That was the best they’ve done all year, so when it was time for them to go, that’s what they did.

Go time, right?” the coach said.

But besides competing against AAAA squads they’ve never seen before, there will be other challenges at the tough Duke City course, Fields said.

“Local knowledge at that Four Hills Golf Club is imperative, and we don’t have that. It sits on the side of a mountain and you think a putt is uphill and straight and it’s not. It’s downhill and it breaks three feet. So we’ve just got to get up there on Sunday and get used to those greens, more than anything. That ultimately is who is going to win that. It’s who putts the best.”

Dexter also is a part of the 4A-AAAA district, and while none of the young boys on the Demon squad qualified for state, junior Mariah Dutchover did, getting four legs over the season.

“So that’s good,” said coach Larry VandenBout.

Monday, she shot a 94, putting her in the top 10 of the ladies’ bracket, while teammate Natalie Reyes shot a 102.

Bulls surprise Cavs in Game 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — The Chicago Bulls came in oozing with confidence, unafraid of LeBron James and convinced they could keep their playoff momentum rolling.

Derrick Rose made sure they did.

Looking like the league MVP he was before being slowed by knee injuries, Rose scored 25 points, Pau Gasol added 21 and the Bulls led from the start in a 99-92 victory over the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.

Rose, who suffered a shoulder stinger in the closing minute, helped the Bulls swipe home-court advantage from the Cavs.

Cleveland was missing starters Kevin Love and J.R. Smith, but its bigger issue was not stopping Rose or his pick-and-roll plays with Gasol.

After all he’s been through — surgeries, hours of rehab, uncertainty about his future — Rose, who has missed over 180 games the past four seasons, is savoring every moment back in the postseason.

“I just appreciate everything,” he said, “getting back on the floor and just every aspect of basketball.

It’s allowed me to change my life and my family’s life. I owe so much to this sport. I’m just trying to roll with it.”

Jimmy Butler added 20 points and banked in a contested jumper with 30 seconds left as the Bulls closed it out, silencing a roaring Cleveland crowd already worried about Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Kyrie Irving scored 30 points and James added 19 and 15 rebounds for Cleveland, playing its first game since Love — one of the Cavs’ Big 3 — was lost for the remainder of the postseason with a shoulder injury.

“No excuses,” Cavs coach David Blatt said.

James didn’t offer any.

“We all just have to play better,” said James, who had nine assists but six turnovers. “I wasn’t that good tonight.”

The Cavs only trailed by four points in the final minutes, but they forced several 3-point attempts and

Cleveland forward LeBron James drives against Chicago guard Jimmy Butler during the first half of Game 1 in a second-round NBA basketball playoff series Monday in Cleveland.

James had two costly turnovers and missed a tough layup in the final 3 minutes.

Finally fully healed after dealing with injuries all season, the Bulls are peak-

ing at the perfect time.

Coming off a 54-point win over Milwaukee to wrap up its opening-round series, Chicago jumped to an early lead, withstood a Cleveland comeback and buck-

led down on defense in the closing minutes to hand Cleveland just its second loss in 24 home games.

Rose ran the show the way he used to, and Gasol, the steady 34-year-old

Spaniard, made the Cavs pay for leaving him open by knocking down one midrange jumper after another.

Holtby’s shutout lifts Caps over NY WASHINGTON (AP) — Braden Holtby made 30 saves Monday night for his second career playoff shutout and Jay Beagle scored his first goal of this postseason, giving the Washington Capitals a 1-0 victory over the New York Rangers.

Washington has a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Alex Ovechkin was held without a goal for the first time in the series. It was one of the Capitals’ less-heralded players, Beagle, who put the puck past Henrik Lundqvist on a second-effort, deflected shot 71/2 minutes into the second period.

Holtby was at his glove-catching best, including stopping Martin St. Louis on a 1-on-1 six minutes after Beagle scored, and the crowd chanted the goalie’s last name at the final buzzer.

Game 4 of the best-ofseven series is at Washington on Wednesday night.

This was the type of nail-biter the Rangers play: They have participated in 10 consecutive playoff games decided by one goal, an NHL record.

And in seven of its eight games in this year’s playoffs, New York has allowed two goals or fewer.

But under first-year coach Barry Trotz, and with

Holtby matching Lundqvist save for save, the Capitals are proving just as adept at this sort of tight, low-scoring hockey.

Despite getting outshot 30-22, the Capitals did manage stretches of sustained pressure in the Rangers’ zone, including leading up to the only goal.

And the score came from a surprising source: the line of Beagle, Troy Brouwer and Andre Burakovsky.

They had zero goals through Washington’s first nine games of this postseason.

Off passes from Brouwer and Burakovsky, Beagle sent a shot on net that Lundqvist swept aside. But

Warriors’ Curry wins MVP over Harden, James

Golf

The eight teams at the combined District 4-5A/46A golf tournament at the Nancy Lopez Golf Course at Spring River spent almost as much time waiting out the rain than playing Monday, and ultimately, the weather won.

Four 6A teams — Carlsbad, Hobbs, Alamogordo and Clovis — decided the Roswell course would be an ideal mid-point for their district tourney, so they joined with 5A Goddard, Roswell, Artesia and Hobbs for a 1 p.m. start.

But after getting through about 2-1/2 hours of play, the tournament was halted because of lightning.

Coaches, players and fans then huddled under trees, in golf carts and in the club house, while lightning strikes and downpours alternated to keep the match from proceeding.

About 5 p.m., the coaches met and decided to make the ultimate decision of whether to resume play at 6 p.m. But another nearby lightning strike around 5:30 p.m. made the call

Roswell Daily Record

Beagle kept at it, going to the boards to collect the rebound, then swooping around the back of the net for a backhand shove of the puck.

That gave Beagle three goals in 33 playoff games following a regular season in which he scored 10 times.

Not too long afterward, the Rangers had a great opportunity to tie it. Capitals defenseman John Carlson’s shot from inside the blue line was blocked

by St. Louis, who raced the other way all alone. But Holtby made the save with a flick of his glove, drawing roars from the crowd.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award Monday, beating out Houston’s James Harden in a race that turned out not to be that close.

Curry received 100 of 130 first-place votes for a total of 1,198 points from a panel of 129 writers and broadcasters, along with the fan vote on the NBA’s website. Harden had 25 first-place votes and 936 points. Cleveland’s LeBron James, a four-time MVP, got five first-place votes and 552 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook (352 points) finished fourth and New Orleans Pelicans big man Anthony Davis (203 points) was fifth.

Curry carried the top-seeded Warriors to a franchise-record 67 wins, surpassed his own record for most 3-pointers in a season and added to his growing reputation as one of the most entertaining spectacles in sports. He’s the franchise’s first MVP since Wilt Chamberlain in 1960, when the Warriors played in Philadelphia.

Curry was set to receive the award during an afternoon news conference Monday in Oakland. He

will be presented with the hardware again during an on-court ceremony when Golden State hosts Memphis in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series Tuesday night.

Curry, who had 22 points and seven assists in the Warriors’ 101-86 victory over the Grizzlies on Sunday, has overcome obstacles at every level.

He grew up in the shadow of his father, former NBA player Dell Curry.

Most major colleges didn’t offer him a scholarship coming out of high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, believing he was too small. And some professional scouts wondered whether his game could transition to the NBA, where point guards are bigger and defenses are tougher.

Instead, Curry has gone from a shooting guard who dazzled at Davidson during the NCAA Tournament to a polished professional point guard who can shoot, dribble and distribute with the best of them. In a game dominated by big men and played by some of the world’s greatest athletes, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Curry controls the flow without physically overpowering defenders.

but we kept our poise,” Gasol said. “We came in with the right mind set and attitude. We went after it.”

Rose banged shoulders with Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson and felt his arm go numb. He said the feeling came back a few minutes later, and he’s not concerned about it lingering.

The Cavs struggled from the start to find any offensive rhythm. Without Love to space the floor, Chicago had an easier time defending James and without Smith, who was suspended two games for striking Boston’s Jae Crowder in the face, the Cavs were lacking one of their best perimeter shooters.

Iman Shumpert made four 3-pointers and scored 22 points, but Blatt spent the night unsuccessfully

searching for the right combinations.

The Bulls have a healthy Rose, and that might be enough.

“Derrick was making the right plays every time,” Butler said.

After the Cavs battled back from a 16-point deficit to tie it 51-all, the Bulls went on a 15-0 run highlighted by Rose’s jumper that was a snapshot of him before his knee injuries.

With James guarding him on the perimeter, Rose created some space with a dribble and then hit a stepback, off-balance 3 to give Chicago a 61-53 lead. The Bulls weren’t done as Butler scored on a dunk, Gasol converted a three-point play and then knocked down another short jumper.

Dale Jr. happier than ever in Victory Lane

By Jenna Fryer Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There was a nearly fiveyear period for Dale Earnhardt Jr. when being a famous race car driver wasn’t all glitz and glamour.

He was a non-factor on the race track, barely even contended at Daytona and Talladega, the two places he was supposed to be unbeatable, and he is the first to admit his confidence had crumbled.

Rebuilding NASCAR’s most popular driver was a lengthy process that took a firm commitment from Rick Hendrick and a ton of patience from Earnhardt’s rabid fan base. The turnaround was slow — some laps led here, a win there — until he finally hit his stride last season with a Daytona 500 victory and three other wins.

So it was no surprise Sunday to see Earnhardt back in victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway, a track he at one time had conquered with the same ease as his father. The late Dale Earnhardt won 10 times at the Alabama restrictor-plate track; his son once reeled off five wins in seven races.

What was a surprise was the pure emotion that poured out of Junior when he climbed from his car following his sixth Tallade-

ga victory, his first at the track since 2004, and one that came just four days after what would have been his father’s 64th birthday.

Earnhardt choked on his words as he talked about how much he appreciates his life, that he doesn’t think he deserves all this happiness. Hours later, the beer and champagne soaking through his firesuit and his emotions finally in check, he was asked what made him so reflective immediately after the win.

His answer showed again what a thoughtful and sincere man Earnhardt has become. Shy as a child, then cast as a party boy when he moved to NASCAR’s top series, he’s finally figured out exactly who he is. He’s a homebody at heart who has found the woman of his dreams, and together they’ve learned a greater appreciation for every success he earns on the track.

At 40, he’s blissfully content and forever grateful for this opportunity he still has driving the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet.

“I think the part I feel I don’t think I deserve is the racing side of it — there’s just not many second chances,” he said. “I feel like if my name wasn’t Earnhardt, that I wouldn’t have had the second chance. I feel like I owe my second chance to my dad, his legacy, because the

or hung onto.”

A fan of all sports and

a bit of a historian, Earnhardt said he has seen plenty of sons follow their father into business and fail. After just four wins in nine seasons, Earnhardt certainly wasn’t living up to his father’s legacy.

The late Dale Earnhardt was a seven-time Cup champion, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, winner of 76 career races and a driver who sent shivers down the spines of his rivals when they saw him in the rearview mirror.

During all those lean years, the question of if Junior would ever win a Cup championship was replaced by “Will he ever even win a race again?”

Last season proved he’s a winner again, maybe even a championship contender. It also became clear that Earnhardt had found a companion in girlfriend Amy Reimann who brought out the best in him.

His genuine love for Reimann poured out of him during his post-race obligations. They’d made the decision last week that she wouldn’t attend Talladega and instead would get things done around their North Carolina home.

When he woke up Sunday morning and she wasn’t there on race day, he realized what a bad idea it had been for her not to come.

“I was miserable that she wasn’t here,” he said.

“It just proves to me how much she means to me and how important she is to me. She’s been a big help in getting me out of my shell.”

Earnhardt talked about how he spent so many years holed up in his motorhome at the race track, how he turned down so many invitations to parties or events just to sit on his computer and online race.

“I thought I was having fun, but I was really miserable,” he said. “She’s made my life a whole lot more enjoyable and showed me how to have fun and showed me there’s a lot more to life.”

He also credited his sister, Kelley, who runs JR Motorsports for him, and his mother, Brenda, who has been a fixture in his inner circle the last several years.

“Everything is in the right direction, everybody is happy,” Earnhardt said.

“I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

That is the way it was supposed to be at Talladega. Earnhardt has figured out how to make it work everywhere.

Derby win raises expectations Germany might for American Pharoah, Baffert provide next step for Astrodome

By Gary B. Graves Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Trainer Bob Baffert barely had 14 hours to digest his Kentucky Derby victory with American Pharoah before hearing the inevitable question.

Does his horse have what it takes to win the Triple Crown?

“Well, we’ve got to get to the Preakness first,” an admittedly tired Baffert said Sunday, referring to the 1 3/16-mile race May 16 in Baltimore. “I don’t even think about that yet.”

The question seems somewhat premature, but it isn’t totally farfetched considering American Pharoah earned a signature victory that answered questions about his resume.

Saturday’s one-length victory over Firing Line — with Baffert-trained Dortmund finishing third — before a record crowd of 170,513 at Churchill Downs was his fifth in six career starts.

“He’s competitive, he wants to win,” Baffert said after parading American Pharoah around a phalanx of clicking cameras. “He knows he’s special.”

Unlike his runaway eight-length victory in the Arkansas Derby tuneup that made him the favorite in the Run for the Roses, American Pharoah proved his worth against tougher competition. He was part of the lead pack in the 18-horse field before surging ahead in the stretch and pulling away from Firing Line with Dortmund two lengths behind him.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert feeds Kentucky Derby winner American Pharoah a carrot at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., Sunday. Baffert won his fourth Derby, and first since 2002. the third straight Derby favorite to win, immediately sparking discussion of whether he can be the first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978.

California Chrome made a strong push to end the drought by winning the first two legs before stumbling at the start and finishing fourth in the Belmont Stakes last year.

Hall of Famer Baffert is well aware of the history and ultimately could have a say in whether it continues or ends after his two horses went 1-3 in the Derby. For

now, he just wanted to let his fourth Derby win sink in.

“If you look back at all the Triple Crown runners, they ran a lot,” Baffert said.

“I think a lot has to do with who you are running against and how tough it is. This was such a tough Derby.”

The Triple Crown schedule only gets tougher with two more races over the next five weeks, a daunting docket for horses accustomed to running once a month. Baffert said that American Pharoah and

Dortmund emerged from the Derby in good shape and will spend this week at Churchill Downs before heading to Baltimore.

Dortmund is showing just as much potential to knock off American P h a r o a h . B a f f e r t h i n ted that owner Kaleem Shah might “want a little revenge” and said he planned to talk with him.

“If Pharoah is that good, he’s going to have to run hard,” Baffert said. “Right now I would say if all’s well (Dortmund would run); and Dortmund looked good.”

Tiger’s girlfriend announces split on Facebook page SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are no longer a power couple in American sports.

Golf’s biggest star and the Olympic ski champion said Sunday they were breaking up after more than two years. But in ending their relationship, both were in complete harmony in their separate announce-

ments on social media, citing busy lives and times they will always “cherish.”

“After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship,” Vonn said Sunday on her Facebook page.

“I will always cherish the memories that we’ve created together. Unfortunately, we both lead incred-

ibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Vonn, an Olympic ski champion, this year set the record for most World Cup titles.

“Lindsey and I have mutually decided to stop dating,” Woods said on his

website. “I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I’ll always cherish our time together.

She has been amazing with Sam and Charlie and my entire family. “ Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It’s difficult to spend time together.”

Both are divorced.

BRAND, Germany — It rose on a former Soviet airfield south of Berlin, a towering hangar bigger than a dozen football fields where ambitious entrepreneurs planned to revive Germany’s zeppelin industry. That dream died in 2002 when funding ran out, but the building was reborn as a massive popular tropical theme park, complete with a rainforest, a beach, waterslides and more than 850 hotel beds.

On Monday, a delegation from Texas toured the facility to see if lessons learned by the Germans can be applied to converting the Houston Astrodome, the world’s first multi-purposed domed stadium, which hasn’t been home to a sports team since 1999 and has been closed to all events since 2009.

“There aren’t too many large structures that have been repurposed like this,” said Bill Merrell, a consulting architect who was part of the delegation from Harris County, which owns the Astrodome property.

The Tropical Island park, which gets more than a million visitors a year, is about two times the size of the Astrodome, and the water slides, beaches, pools and saunas were of little interest to the Texas delegation.

But the 55,000 plants there fit with their plan to turn the Astrodome into an indoor park with surrounding green space.

“We’re not planning to recreate this,” said Ed Emmett, Harris County’s highest elected official, looking around the cavernous structure. “But the fact that they could take a building two times the size of the Astrodome and repurpose it like this certainly shows that it can be done.”

In Germany the dome helps shield bathers from the frequent rain

and chilly temperatures; in Texas the idea is that it would provide a place away from the heat and humidity of Houston for exercise, picnics or other types of recreation, as well as bigger events.

Bernd Green, the head of horticulture for Tropical Islands, said the people creating the indoor rainforest quickly learned that they could not use artificial growing lights because the ceiling was too high. Instead, they replaced a 20,000 square meter (215,000 square foot) section of the original roof with a transparent film that would let in UV rays.

The Astrodome, touted as the eighth wonder of the world when it opened in 1965, also had problems with its grass field.

That led to the development of the AstroTurf artificial surface, which still lingers in the minds of many Texans.

“We still have people who say you can’t grow plants in a building,” Emmett said. “Well obviously you can.”

The future of the Astrodome has been in limbo since voters in 2013 didn’t authorize $217 million in bonds to turn it into a multipurpose special events center. While the Astrodome is not in any immediate danger of being demolished, local officials have struggled to find an alternative use.

The new proposal calls for creating an indoor park within the stadium, with spaces for exercise and biking trails and indoor rock climbing, as well as new underground parking. The outside areas would be converted into tree-lined green spaces.

The delegation, drawing on its experience in Germany, is now trying to figure out which parts of the $243 million proposal it can include in a plan that would be presented to Harris County Commissioners within the next few months.

Al-Jazeera America loses top exec

NEW YORK (AP) — The Al-Jazeera America news network, sued by a former employee who said he was fired for complaining about a colleague’s anti-Semitic and sexist behavior, is losing one of its top U.S. news executives.

Marcy McGinnis, a former CBS News executive, told Al Jazeera on Monday that she was leaving the company, said Kate O’Brian, network president.

McGinnis had been Al-Jazeera America’s senior vice president of news gathering, but was recently removed and given the job of senior vice president of corporate outreach.

McGinnis did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Her transfer had been mentioned as part of a lawsuit filed last week in New York State Supreme Court

by Matthew Luke. The former Al-Jazeera America employee alleged that a colleague said that “whoever supports Israel should die a fiery death in hell.”

Luke claimed that the ex-colleague, Osman Mahmud, had also denigrated female employees at the news network and directed him to remove two women from an email chain involving a project they were working on. Luke said he was fired in February, 10 days after he reported examples of Mahmud’s conduct to human resources.

In this Aug. 20, 2013 file photo, Al-Jazeera America editorial newsroom staff prepare for their first broadcast in New York. The Al-Jazeera America news network is losing one of its top U.S. news executives. Marcy McGinnis, a former CBS News executive, told Al Jazeera on Monday that she was leaving the company, said Kate O’Brian, network president.

CEO, Ehab Al Shihabi, said Monday that the company does not tolerate discriminatory conduct and that “the recent attacks on us as being anti-Semitic, sexist and anti-American are absurd.”

Al Shihabi said, however, that he would not comment specifically on any of the allegations in Luke’s lawsuit.

The case represents unwelcome publicity for a network, an offshoot of the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera international news operation, that has struggled to find an audience in the United States since gaining entry into about half the

nation’s television homes through the purchase of Al Gore’s Current TV network.

Al Shihabi said on Monday that the network is making an impact with its journalism, and said established networks like CNN and Fox News Channel got off to slow starts with viewers upon their launches.

“This is a huge success story,” he said.

McGinnis was among a handful of established American television news professionals hired at Al-Jazeera America’s start to help guide the international network into the market — among them O’Brian, anchors Ali Velshi

and John Seigenthaler, and news producer David Doss.

Luke’s lawsuit alleges that Mahmud told McGinnis that he wanted to replace an Israeli cameraman for the network’s Middle East correspondent with a Palestinian. Luke said he saw Mahmud addressing McGinnis “in an abrasive and condescending manner” about the cost of the Israeli cameraman.

McGinnis refused. The lawsuit alleges that McGinnis reported Mahmud’s conduct to the network’s human resources department, and she was transferred shortly after.

Texas Legislature acts to stop cities from limiting drilling AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas moved Monday to ban its own cities from imposing prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing and other potentially environmentally harmful oil and natural gas drilling activities within their boundaries — a major victory for industry groups and top conservatives who have decried rampant local “overregulation.”

Lawmakers in America’s largest oil-producing state scrambled to limit local energy exploration prohibitions after Denton, a university town near Dallas, passed an ordinance in November against hydraulic fracturing or fracking, attempting to keep encroaching drilling bonanzas outside their

community.

Fracking is the practice of blasting huge volumes of water and chemicals underground to release tight deposits of oil and gas. Denton voters’ opposition was driven by recurring small earthquakes and safety worries from gas wells that have become ubiquitous near urban area during the energy boom of the last few years.

But energy lobbyists argued that local regulations shouldn’t trump property rights and effectively choke off natural gas drilling underground.

The measure by San Angelo Republican Rep. Drew Darby, chairman of the House Energy Resources Committee, allows local communities to regulate

things above ground such as noise, traffic and lighting associated with fracking, drilling and other oil and gas activities.

But it forbids limits on any drilling or activity below the surface, except for some regulations, such as bans on exploration on Sundays, that are already in place. Any limits imposed by communities would have to be “commercially reasonable,” which critics say allows the energy industry wide sway.

“The burden is laid upon the cities, and frankly we’re handing the keys to the oil and gas industry to decide what’s commercially reasonable,” said Rita Beving, coordinator of Alliance for Green Texas, an environmental group.

Famed surgeon Ben Carson announces White House campaign

AP Photo

This March 8, 2014, file photo shows Dr. Ben Carson, professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference annual meeting in National Harbor, Maryland.

DETROIT — Retired surgeon Ben Carson declared his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination Monday, resting his longshot bid on his vision of the nation as “a place of dreams” where people can thrive when freed from an overbearing government.

Carson, the only African-American in the race, spoke in front of hundreds of people at Detroit Music Hall, a few miles from a high school that bears his name. A choir singing the chorus from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” set the stage.

He told supporters that he’s not anti-government but believes Washington has exceeded its constitutional powers.

“It’s time for people to rise up and take the government back,” he said. “The political class won’t like me saying things like that. The political class comes from both parties.”

The former head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins hospital has never run for public office. But he’s a star among some conservatives and will try to parlay his success as an author and speaker into a competitive campaign.

He told his rally: “I’m Ben Carson and I’m a candidate for president.”

Carson was the second White House hopeful to get into the Republican race Monday. Former technology executive Carly Fiorina declared her intent to run earlier in the day.

Carson earned national acclaim during his 29 years leading the pediatric neurosurgery unit of Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, where he still lives. He directed the first surgery to separate twins connected at the back of the head. His career was notable enough to inspire the 2009 movie, “Gifted Hands,” with actor Cuba Gooding Jr. depicting Carson.

“I see myself as a member of ‘we the people,’” he told The Associated Press in an interview earlier this year, arguing that his lack of experience is an asset.

The 63-year-old Detroit native remains largely unknown outside of conservative activists who have embraced him since his address at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, where he offered a withering critique of the modern welfare state and the nation’s overall direction.

The speech restated themes from Carson’s 2012 book “America the Beautiful,” but he excited conservatives by doing so with President Barack Obama sitting just feet away.

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: Our amazing daughters are in their late 20s. Both of them are independent, intelligent and loving. The four of us have a special bond. My wife and I have always been supportive in all aspects of our daughters' lives, and that will never change.

They have been dating great guys over the past five years whom we believe they will ultimately marry. The problem? My wife and I were raised with certain values, and our daughters have recently moved in with their boyfriends. We do not approve, but respect their decisions as

adults.

One daughter plans to have an open-house party celebrating their new place. She's upset that my wife and I have indicated we won't be attending, because doing so would be difficult and against our beliefs. We have understood her decision, but she does not appear to respect ours. Are we wrong to take this stance?

AGAINST THE TIDE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR AGAINST: I think so. Your daughter is an adult. Do you plan to continue "punishing" her and the man you say you approve of until they tie the knot? She and her boyfriend have been a couple for five years now, and their relationship appears to be progressing nicely.

It's not unusual for couples today to live together. I see nothing to be gained by skipping their open house -- but I do see something to lose.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My husband's grandmother

Comics keeps purchasing season tickets to the theater for me. I have told my mother-in-law (who is in charge of buying the tickets) as politely as possible that summer is a very busy time for me.

My kids, husband and I are all involved in activities, and the theater conflicts with these activities.

As well, I don't particularly enjoy the group of people that we go there with. (I haven't shared this with my mother-in-law.)

While I like my mother-in-law and husband's grandmother, the others are rude. They exclude me from conversations and hardly acknowledge my existence. I try to make conversation but unsuccessfully. It makes for a dreadfully awkward evening.

How do I get out of going to the theater without hurting anyone's feelings?

NO THANKS IN CANADA DEAR NO THANKS: The most effective way to accomplish that would be to stop beating around the bush and tell your husband's mother and grandmother you would prefer

not to be included, and the reason why.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I like a girl but don't know if she likes me. I went to a school dance with her, but that's about it. I'm a choosy person, but everything seems right about her.

I never had a girlfriend before.

Am I doing something wrong? I really want to be in a relationship with her, but I don't want to get rejected. I hate that feeling. Can you give me advice on what to do?

IN LIKE IN WISCONSIN DEAR IN LIKE: There is a saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." It means that in order to succeed, you have to TRY. In dating relationships, there is always some risk of rejection, and it applies to girls as well as boys. If you want a relationship with her, stop being afraid and start acting like it. Because she went to a dance with you, she probably already likes you, too.

Here are some additional reader hints: * D.G. in Alabama wrote: "My solution that I have been using for at least a dozen years is baby wipes. They are easy to use and dispose of, and are safe for students to use." * Laurie H., via email, said: "I've tried everything to clean mine, and recently stumbled on a hint on the Internet of using toothpaste. I tried a small dab and rubbed it over the entire board, and it cleaned it to completely white. No residue, 'ghost' writing or anything." * Patti Sanders in Arkansas wrote: "I have found that plain old water in a spray bottle, wiped with soft paper towels, is the best cleaner to keep boards in prime condition.

Walker critical of Romney in 2012, Bush in 2000

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Likely Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker made no secret about what he saw as the failures of Mitt Romney’s last run for the White House, devoting an entire chapter of his book to the topic.

But it turns out the Wisconsin governor, way back in 2000, also aired sharp criticism about George W. Bush’s efforts in his first presidential bid.

Walker, who was then a 32-year-old state Assembly member, wrote an open memo to Bush he titled “Campaign Strategy” in which he offered detailed advice on how he thought the then-Texas governor should be crafting his message to win the presidency, including what type of television ads he should run.

Walker, now in his second term as governor, is expected to launch his own presidential campaign within the next couple months. Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, will likely be among those duking it out with Walker for the Republican nomination.

The open letter to George W. Bush and the Romney critique provide a window into Walker’s thinking on how a presidential campaign should craft its message. And while Walker has spent nearly his entire adult life in elected office after he dropped out of college with about a year to go, the 15-year-old memo shows that how to win the White House has been on Walker’s mind for many years.

The advice outlined in the 800-word open letter to Bush is typical of Walker, said Mark Graul, a Republican strategist who ran Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign in Wisconsin.

Graul said Walker offered advice at his request that year and in 2006, when Graul was running the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Green.

“In all of my conversa-

In this July 4, 1999 photo, presidential hopeful George W. Bush greets supporters at the start of a parade in Merrimack, N.H. tions with him about political strategy, it’s never been about tearing the other guy down,” Graul said. “It’s been about what were my guy’s ideas and what was the best way to communicate it to the people we were trying to persuade to vote for us.”

In his memo to Bush, Walker recommended specific television ads Bush should run to help him win. He said one spot should feature “real life families” of people such as fire fighters, nurses, construction workers and teachers talking about how much they had saved because of Bush’s tax cuts.

Those professions — particularly teachers — came out in force against Walker in 2011 when he effectively ended their collective bargaining rights, with his union-busting measure that put him on the national radar and set the stage for his likely presidential run.

Walker said in his memo to Bush, which was first published on his Assembly campaign website, that his thoughts “reflect the views of the vast majority of undecided voters who want a positive reason to vote for the next President of the United States.”

Walker told Bush that his campaign theme should be: “They had their chance for the past eight years and they have not led. We will.”

Bush lost Wisconsin in 2000 by just 5,708 votes, or less than a quarter of a percentage point, on his way to defeating Democrat Al Gore for the White House.

Democrats said Walker was looking out for himself by writing the memo to Bush in 2000.

“For 20 years, Scott Walker has been running negative campaigns for higher office and doing anything and everything to advance his personal political ambitions,” said Wisconsin Democratic Party spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff. “The hubris and micromanagement we see from him today were on full display when he told George W. Bush how to run his presidential campaign.

Some things never change.”

Walker told Bush that he should focus on his work with Democrats and Republicans to pass a middle class tax cut in Texas, and his efforts to control health care costs and improve public schools. As he prepares for what would be his first run for national office, Walker talks about

many of the same things that he’s done as Wisconsin governor: cutting taxes by nearly $2 billion, expanding school choice programs and kicking people off Medicaid who make more than the federal poverty level, while also qualifying others who had been on a waiting list for coverage. The net effect, as of August, was that about 40,000 more people had coverage than before.

Walker, 47, also casts himself as a “fresh faced” alternative to Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jeb Bush, who served as Florida’s governor for two terms.

Walker’s criticisms of Bush are reminiscent of complaints Walker lodged against the Romney presidential campaign in 2012.

Walker spent an entire chapter in his 2013 book “Unintimdated” explaining why he thought Romney lost to President Barack Obama.

Walker sent an email to Romney voicing his frustrations about his campaign’s tone and urging Romney to show more passion, get out from behind the podium and connect directly with voters.

Walker said he got no response.

State: No evidence of conflict in Clinton Foundation gifts WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Monday it has no evidence that any actions taken by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton when she was secretary of state were influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation or former President Bill Clinton’s speaking fees.

Spokesman Jeff Rathke said the department received requests to review potential conflicts primarily for proposed speech hosts or consulting deals for Bill Clinton and found no conflicts.

Rathke said, however, that the department welcomes new commitments from the Clinton Foundation to disclose its donors and to support additional efforts that ensure all of those donations are public.

The State Department’s comment comes as Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign grapples with criticism that foreign entities traded donations to the family charity for favors at the State Department.

Hundreds of paid speeches given by Bill Clinton, which can command as much as $500,000 or more per appearance, have also come under attack from Republican opponents.

Speaking during a nineday tour of Clinton Foundation projects in Africa

with his daughter, Chelsea, Clinton defended his foundation, saying there’s nothing “sinister” about getting wealthy people to help poor people in developing countries.

“There’s been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down,” Clinton said. “And there’s almost no new fact that’s known now that wasn’t known when she ran for president the first time.”

Bill Clinton said 90 percent of donors give $100 or less. But over half of the donors giving $5 million or more are foreign, including foreign governments. Under pressure, the foundation recently announced it will only take money from six Western countries.

“It’s an acknowledgment that we’re going to come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules we followed when she became secretary of state,” he said.

He added: “I don’t think that I did anything that was against the interest of the United States.”

Bill Clinton has largely stayed on the sidelines during the early weeks of his wife’s presidential bid, opting to focus on his foundation work instead of visiting early primary states with his wife. His decision to re-enter the political fray, with an appearance

Roswell Daily Record

Ex-Christie allies plead not guilty in bridge case NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Two former political allies of Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie entered not guilty pleas Monday after they were charged for their alleged involvement in politically motivated lane closures of the George Washington Bridge in 2013.

Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Kelly, and his former top appointee at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Bill Baroni, entered the pleas through their attorneys in the nine-count indictment unsealed Friday after a yearlong investigation.

Kelly said Friday she is innocent; a defense lawyer also said Baroni is innocent. Baroni will make his first public comments on the case after the hearing.

Bail for both was set at $150,000 and U.S. District Court Judge Susan Wigenton set a tentative trial date of July 7.

David Wildstein, who went to high school with Christie and later became a top official in the Port Authority, pleaded guilty Friday to two criminal counts.

He admitted that he helped plot lane closures in Fort Lee on an approach to the world’s busiest bridge as political payback against that community’s Democratic mayor for failing to support Christie’s re-election campaign.

“If David Wildstein was willing to repeatedly lie to settle a petty political grudge, nobody should be surprised at his eagerness to concoct any story that he thinks will help him stay out of federal prison,” said Baroni’s lawyer Michael Baldassarre. “We’re confident that everyone will see this desperate ploy for exactly what this is.”

Christie has not been implicated in the criminal case.

Here are some related aspects.

Christie and 2016

The charges provide mixed news for Christie as he tries to regain momentum in support of an expected presidential bid.

Christie appears to have been cleared of any allegations that he personally participated in the scheme, but the charges brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey still hit close to home.

Christie’s aides and backers hope the devel-

opments will allow the governor to put this chapter behind him less than a year before the first presidential primaries, even as legal proceedings have just begun. In many ways, the outcome was the best he could have hoped for — little new information and no names mentioned beyond those Christie had already cut ties to.

Port Authority reform:

The indictments and the still-looming investigation involving the former chairman of the Port Authority have underlined the need for reform at the agency.

David Samson wasn’t mentioned, meaning the separate investigation stemming from his time as chairman could yield further embarrassment for the bistate authority.

But despite the scandals, its leadership is optimistic.

Port Authority Chairman John Degnan said there’s an opportunity to learn from the indictments, “if there’s anything we missed that we should do.”

Degnan stressed that the agency’s new whistleblower policy is “one of the most aggressive in the country.”

Public money:

New Jersey residents have paid about $10 million in legal costs related to the closure, according to an AP review of documents from the Legislature and the Department of Law and Public Safety.

The largest share — about $7.3 million — went for the governor’s outside counsel, the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, which produced a report that cleared the governor of any connection to a politically motivated lane closing. But the Democrat-led Legislature has also racked up some $1 million in legal fees.

The state accrued costs for outside legal counsel used to represent state employees involved in the probe, and Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich says the borough’s legal fees have topped $200,000.

It’s unclear exactly how much federal cash has gone into the probe.

U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said his office does not track how much the investigation costs, but added that every investigation is different and requires differing amounts of resources.

Democratic committee endorses Murphy WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic Senate campaign committee endorsed Rep. Patrick Murphy on Monday as its candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Marco Rubio of Florida, who is running for president. The endorsement comes even as another Democratic congressman, Alan Grayson, is eyeing the same seat.

It’s the latest move by establishment Democrats to unite behind Murphy, a moderate in his second House term who represents portions of Florida’s east coast. There are concerns that a run by the liberal and unpredictable Grayson could hurt the party’s chances in a major swing state.

In a statement, Senate Democratic campaign chairman Jon Tester called Murphy, 32, a promising rising star. “His track record of fighting for Florida’s working families, seniors and the environment make him the strongest candidate to win the

Florida Senate race and flip this seat,” said Tester, D-Mont.

Grayson has said he’s very interested in running but hasn’t declared yet. In a statement he dismissed the move by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

“Florida Democratic voters choose our party nominee, not out-of-touch party bosses sipping cognac in a smoke-filled room in Washington, D.C.,” Grayson said.

On the GOP side, a number of House members and others are eyeing the race although several promising potential candidates have taken a pass.

In a statement, National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Matt Connelly said that the Democratic campaign committee’s endorsement of Murphy “will backfire with Florida’s families who want an independent leader.”
