Senior Circle, Easter n New Mexico Medical Center chapter, hosted its fourth annual fashion show Saturday afternoon to raise funds for the May 13 “Walk for Hope.”

The national nonprofit organization of senior citizens, which has more than 5,000 members in Chaves County, raised about $500 in ticket sales, according to volunteer and fashion show organizer Anna Permar.

“We’re hoping to get some donations this afternoon,”

Permar said. “It’d be nice to raise another $500. That would be great.”

The fashion show raised about $3,000 for the cancer walk last year, Permar said.

Other fashion shows have raised money for the Relay for Life fundraiser.

“It’s a lot of hard work, but we have a lot of fun,” Paul Permar, Anna’s husband and fashion show coorganizer, said.

Eleven models strutted through the banquet room of the Senior Circle facility in Wilshire Center, showing off clothes and accessories donated by Bealls, Hippie

Chicks, Once Again Consignment and ENMMC. Most of the models are cancer survivors, like Berlin-born Georgia Kelly, who battled both colon and skin cancer. Kelly is also a former swimsuit model and has modeled for J.C. Penney in Clovis and clothing shops in Santa Fe. “That’s so cute,” one woman in the 100-strong audience whispered as Kelly swished past her table, commenting on her black and white Cathy Daniel’s blouse from Bealls.

Family members of shooting victim John Bugarin told the Daily Record that they are considering suing Deputy District Attorney Alan Griffin after Friday’s motion for dismissal on the Larry Harris murder case.

“Mr. Griffin does not believe that the DA’s office should prosecute. He’s going to recommend dismissal,” said the victim’s father Enrique Bugarin.

He referred to Griffin as negligent.

Larry Harris, 48, is charged with the Jan. 12, 2000, killing of John Bugarin.

Harris, who was extradited from Lubbock in April 2010, faces one count of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.

Drug war displaces 230,000 MEXICO CITY (AP) — About 230,000 people have been displaced in Mexico because of drug violence, and about half of them may have taken refuge in the United States, according to a new study.

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre based this week’s report on studies by local researchers, saying that the Mexican government does not compile figures on people who have had to leave their homes because of tur f battles between drug gangs.

“Independent surveys put their number at around 230,000,” according to the global report’s section on Mexico. “An estimated half of those displaced crossed the border into the United States, which would leave about 115,000 people internally displaced, most likely in the States of Chi-

Deputy John Wayne Davis, former RPD detective and the investigating officer at the time.

During the initial interviews, Harris confessed to firing two .45 caliber rounds in self-defense. He said he then walked around the desk, at which time Bugarin attempted to get up, and Harris fired a third round.

FBI profilers examined the witness testimony, the autopsy and the scene of the crime, Preferred Pipes and Tobacco Shop, 1805 S. Sunset Ave., and decided the evidence repudiated Harris’ and wife Leticia’s testimony.

The autopsy indicated that Bugarin was shot four times, once in the neck, once in the back, once in the lower chest, and once in upper left chest. Two shots penetrated his vertebrae, one of which also penetrated his heart and lungs.

While that number is far below the estimated 3.6 to 5.2 million displaced by decades of drug- and guerrilla-war violence in Colombia, the report suggested that people who had to flee drug violence in Mexico have received little support.

Interior Mexico’s Department said it had no immediate comment on the report.

However, government census figures released this month support the idea of an exodus, at least in some areas.

The census, carried out in mid-2010, listed as uninhabited 61 percent of the 3,616 homes in Praxedis G. Guerrero, a border township in the Rio Grande Valley east of Ciudad Juarez. The area has suffered turf battles between the Juarez and

“Our maestro comes in on Thursday evening. We rehearse, do a run through, then we rehearse twice Friday, once Saturday and we’re good to go. It’s very quick.

Everyone has to be very prepared.”

The group displayed their preparation in pieces like Elgar’s Serenade, which featured a very crisp, tight strings Also present in the courtroom during the motion for dismissal were Mr. and Mrs. Garcia, parents of Johnny Garcia. Officials believe the Bugarin case is linked to the September 1994 murder of Johnny Garcia, who was married to Leticia Harris at that time.

Defense attorney Gary C. Mitchell began his presentation with a recitation of the “known and undisputed facts” of the cases. “The facts of 11 years cannot be contradicted,” he said.

He called the case an injustice to his client.

As the defense recounted the sequence of the events, the victim’s mother ran weeping from the room.

The facts he related included the testimonies of Larry and Leticia Harris given to the police immediately after the shooting.

Leticia Harris stated in her interview the incident started as the result of an argument, although in the criminal complaint, an employee of Pipes and Smokes who had been present said there had been no argument that Roadrunner Cash 4-12-19-27-36 Pick 3 4-3-1

A striking 111,103 of the 488,785 homes in violence-wracked Ciudad Juarez were abandoned, or about 23 percent, and almost one-third of the 160,171 houses in Reynosa were unoccupied. The figure for Mexico as a whole was 14 percent, and many of those, especially in souther n states, may belong to migrants who went to the United States seeking work.

Part of the exodus, the IDMC report noted, was because of the indiscriminate nature of the drug violence, which has killed more than 35,000 people since President Felipe Calderon ramped up an of fensive against drug cartels in late 2006.

morning.

Mitchell told the court that Harris’ defense is based on issues of justifiable homicide. “This is a self-defense case .... It is the burden of the state to prove that it was not selfdefense.”

He explained that New Mexico has the no-retreat rule which says a person under attack need not retreat. “A homicide is justified when it is committed in the defense of his life, his family and his property.”

Mitchell pointed out that police investigators did an experiment at the scene where they fired bullets, using Harris’ gun, to see if the placement of the shell casings matched Harris’ statement of events.

Mitchell argued the results supported the defendant’s testimony.

Mitchell further stated no experiment of casing placement could be viewed as scientific evidence since it depended on the position of the gun and how the shooter chose to hold it either fully upright with the grip at a 90-degree angle to the ground, or sideways with

Witness for the state FBI Supervisory Special Agent Robert J. Morton became involved in the investigation after receiving a request from the Sheriff’s office.

He said he viewed the reports, and he came to Roswell to view the crime scene.

Morton concluded the shots could not have come from the area Harris said.

“The first three rounds came from the door. … another round stuck the victim in the back.”

Mitchell asked if the number assigned to the wounds in the autopsy report indicated the order as found in the anatomical investigation of the body.

Morton concurred; however, he said his assessment of their numeric value was based on the fact that bullet number one passed through the body without hitting bone or vital organs and would have left the victim standing.

“Wound two struck the spinal column and the victim could not have maintained an upright posture.

Another round struck the victim in the back. Based on the angle (of wound number three), the shooter had to be standing below the feet and shooting into the prone body on the floor,” Morton explained.

He was questioned about his qualifications to make such a judgment.

Morton cited his education and his 23 years of experience with the FBI. “What I do is science based on forensics.”

Morton said he had no opinion on the issue of selfdefense only on the sequence of the events.

Griffin said he did not dispute defense’s summary of the law, although he did strongly dispute Mr. Harris’ version of events.

state’s case relied on the FBI’s assessment. Otherwise, he admitted that the evidence was not strong.

Judge Freddie J. Romero chose not to rule on the motion for dismissal, asking Griffin to file a motion within 10 days; but Romero said he would decide on the issue of bond, set at $500,000 cash surety, by Monday.

Romero agreed that the state’s case hinged on the FBI examination of the scene.

He said he would not pre-judge whether the FBI’s assessment would be admissible as evidence.

Romero stipulated that should the case come to trial it would have to adhere to federal Daubert/Alberic standards for scientific evidence.

The Daubert standard is a rule of evidence regarding the admissibility of expert witness testimony based on scientific method. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

OBITUARIES

Harry Parsons Jr.

FT. SUMNER — Harry Robert Parsons Jr. was born on Feb. 6, 1926, to Harry Robert Parsons Sr. and Grace Nannette Hallmark Parsons at home on the family ranch east of Fort Sumner. He departed this life on March 24, 2011, at home in Roswell surrounded by his loving family.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years Frances Eileen Cozzens Parsons; and his five brothers and sisters, Rear Adm. William Sterling Parsons, Critchell Parsons, Dr. Clarissa Parsons Fuller, Amelia Jane Parsons and Richard Hallmark Parsons.

He is survived by a son Dr. Harry R. Parsons and wife Patricia, of Dexter; grandchildren, Clay and Chelsea Cohorn, of Whitesboro, Texas, Patrick and Brittney Cohorn and greatgranddaughter Halle, of Midland, Texas, and Bonnie Eileen Parsons, of North Richland Hills, Texas; daughters Dr. Sally Parsons, of Greeley, Colo., Janet Thorson and her husband Kurt and grandsons, Ahren and Alex, of Albuquerque, Debbie Harrelson and her husband Colt and grandchildren, Jake and Andi, of Ruidoso;

the past,” said Mark Chavez, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service Southwest region. “But it’s hard to say what Mother Nature has in store for us.

She can decide to open up the skies and dump on us, and that would be great.”

There’s optimism among land managers and firefighters for more favorable weather, but the National Interagency Fire Center’s outlook through June shows above-normal fire potential for much of New Mexico and parts of Arizona, Colorado and Texas.

Forecasters at the center are blaming drought, high

and main caregiver Diane Parsons, of the home.

Bob graduated from Fort Sumner High School in May 1944, and as many of his generation, immediately left for boot camp. After finishing basic training at Camp Pendleton, Calif., he joined the 4th Marine Division at Camp Maui, Hawaii, and participated in the assault on Iwo Jima with the 24th Marine Regiment in February 1945. He was seriously wounded on Iwo in March 1945, and returned to Fort Sumner after a lengthy convalescence at naval hospitals across the Pacific.

He married the love of his life Eileen Cozzens, on Dec. 23, 1951. After graduation from Eastern New Mexico University, he began teaching at Fort Sumner schools in 1956. Bob taught history and social studies for more than 30 years at Fort Sumner schools and once counted over 6,000 students in his old grade books.

He became quite a well consulted and often cited authority on many aspects of New Mexico and especially De Baca County history, visiting many of the old historical sites with some of the eyewitnesses to New Mexico’s turbulent Territorial days. He wrote historical articles for the De Baca County News for many years and also authored many small books and pamphlets, but his planned comprehensive history of New Mexico was never completed.

Bob was a member of the First Methodist Church in Fort Sumner his entire life and thoroughly enjoyed his fellowship there.

Bob was a gifted artist, painting many works including the murals in the

Fort Sumner downtown area.

He was also an accomplished handyman and had a fine touch building and repairing anything small and delicate from tools, instruments and fine jewelry, to the house his family lived in. One of his most endearing characteristics was an incomparable and unparalleled sense of humor.

Of all his passions, he valued most his time spent outdoors with his family whether hunting, fishing, poking around old ruins or watching the spectacular New Mexico weather and starry skies. He discerned the hand of God in everything he saw in nature, and through his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ he had faith he would see us all on the other side. Until then his spirit will live on in print, on canvas and through the lives of the many students he touched.

The family will receive friends Sunday, March 27, 2011, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Chavez Funeral Home.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, March 28, 2011, from First United Methodist Church in Fort Sumner. Sister Anna Teeter will officiate.

Burial with military honors will follow in the Parsons family plot, Fort Sumner Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Patrick Cohorn, Jacob Harrelson, Caleb Elliott, Jason Elliott, Ben Elliott, Stephen Elliott, Andy Roybal and John Eastwood.

Honorary bearers will include Colt Harrelson, Thorson, Clay Kurt Cohor n, Alex Thorson, Ahren Thorson, Gary Cozzens, L.C. Cozzens, Doyle Cozzens, Bob West, Charles West, Red West, Tex Elliott, Bill Stanton and

FT. COLLINS, Colo. — Douglas Bruce Small, 70, of Fort Collins, died March 11, 2011, at Poudre Valley Hospital. He was born on June 6, 1940, to James Monroe and Lula Mae (Smith) Small, in Borger, Texas. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the Army and retired after 22 years in 1980. He was a decorated Vietnam veteran and received two Bronze Stars.

In July 1959, he married Barbara Engle in Roswell, N.M., with whom he celebrated 51 years of marriage. Doug graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 1988 with a BA in business and accounting. After retiring, he sold insurance throughout Northern Colorado. He was a hard worker and provider for his family. He loved his grandchildren and his dogs, Minnie and Sophie.

temperatures, gusty winds and the La Niña weather pattern that diverted much of winter’s moisture from New Mexico.

The New Mexico State Forestry Division, the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management have yet to issue any fire restrictions, but Grant County recently proclaimed a fire hazard emergency and passed an ordinance banning open fires and various fireworks from the unincorporated areas of the county.

Lincoln County, Ruidoso and Silver City have also put restrictions in place.

Fire of ficials are most worried about the human element. The fires that have been sparked so far this

year have been humancaused.

Because the fires have been caused by hot catalytic converters, sparks from equipment or downed power lines, Dan Ware of the State Forestry Division says fire restrictions would do little good.

“Really, the cause of the fire is a leading indication of whether we’re going to go into restrictions,” he said.

“When we start to see fires that could be prevented, that’s when restrictions will be effective.”

So when can New Mexico expect restrictions? Ware says it’s a question he’s

asked every day.

Ware and Mary Zabinski, a fire information officer with the Southwest Coordination Center, both say it’s just too early to call.

“Every year, if you’ve been in this business long enough, you know the weather will always throw you a curve,” Zabinski said, adding that predictions will become more solid as spring fades and the camping season approaches.

Fire restrictions are not something land managers like to impose prematurely because of the impacts they have on tourists and local people who enjoy the

Aside from the occasional careless flip of a cigarette out of a car window, most New Mexicans love their public lands and take care of them, Zabinski said.

“They understand the need for restrictions,” she said. “In general, when they keep hearing about how dry it is, when they’re out in the woods and they see it, there’s a high enough level of awareness that they’re already there in a way.”

In the meantime, officials are hosting fire awareness meetings for residents who live in areas close to forests and open range, and there’s not a day that goes by without a flood of Twitter messages or other online posts about the latest red flag war nings around the state.

OPINION

Expect changes in state government personnel

SANTA FE – Expect some highlevel personnel changes in state government now that the Legislature has adjourned.

New Gov. Susana Martinez did not have time to get all of former Gov. Bill Richardson’s political appointees replaced before the Legislature convened so she let some of them know they would remain in their jobs until after the legislative session. In other cases she promoted employees into positions such as division directorships on a temporary basis.

Reportedly Gov. Martinez and her Cabinet secretaries are pleased with the jobs these employees are performing that some of them may assume the positions permanently even though they will lose the protections of the state Personnel Act. For those few political appointees Martinez replaces with classified employees, she reduces the large number of exempt employees Richardson appointed during his term. That number

exceeded 500 at one point. Martinez has said she intends to get that number down into the 300s.

Reports are coming in from state employees expressing confidence in their new bosses and describing them as bright and upfront about their plans. That confidence hasn’t extended to the Senate Rules Committee in all cases.

Some of Gov. Martinez’s more high profile Cabinet appointments have yet to be confirmed by the state Senate. Secretary of Education designate Hanna Skandera came into office amid predictions

by Gov. Martinez that she would

Roswell Daily Record

be the savior of New Mexico’s lowranking education system.

Some senators were unimpressed, noting that Skandera doesn’t have an education degree and hasn’t ever been a classroom teacher or administrator. Led by Senate majority leader Michael Sanchez, the Senate held off on her confirmation and gave her only one of the package of three bills she said she needed to get New Mexico moving in the right direction.

The education bill making it all the way through the Legislature calls for letter grading of schools.

Failing to pass the Legislature was a merit pay system for teachers and administrators and a bill requiring passage of a reading test before leaving third grade.

Grading schools A-F stirs some controversy but not to the extent that merit pay and social promotion have caused. Using test scores as a primary basis of merit pay has been controversial ever since before my wife Jeanette and

I taught 50 years ago.

New York tried it and it led to what then was called “teaching to the test.” Lately it has been called plain old cheating. Subjective evaluations by principals and central office administrators also have been controversial. The problem is how to do it fairly.

Eliminating social promotion sounds like a slam dunk. Who wouldn’t be for that? When Jeanette taught second grade, she held several students back. But she did it only after conversations with the parents. It usually was a matter of feeling the child hadn’t reached a sufficient level of maturity to move up.

We and our son’s kindergarten teacher held him out of first grade 33 years ago because a premature birth technically put him a year ahead in school but he really was not ready.

When the problem is insufficient reading skills, however, corrective measures should begin long before the end of the third

grade, which was the solution of this year’s legislation. Keeping nine-year -olds in third grade labels them and removes them for their social group, both of which make dropping out of school a much greater likelihood. It also costs more to keep students in school another year.

So the Senate wasn’t without reason for not approving the bills.

Jon Barela, Martinez’s nominee for secretary of the Economic Development Department, also was not confirmed. The action is not totally uncommon for nominees with political ambitions.

Barela was the GOP candidate for Congress last year and has been mentioned as a future political candidate.

Barela and Skandera may be approved at some later date but appointees have been known to dangle for a long time.

U.S. Must Define Goals in Libya

Now that the United States has decided to join a coalition of nations to act against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, it has to decide what it hopes to accomplish with the mission, who will call the shots and what ongoing role it will play.

President Barack Obama remains cautious in committing the United States beyond its initial assistance in neutralizing Gadhafi’s air defenses. The president has said he intends to turn over control of the operation to either France or Britain, or perhaps both.

Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Adm. Mike Mullen have defined the role of the operation as protecting citizens from Gadhafi’s wrath, but that leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

Mullen suggested that Gadhafi could possibly remain in power after the action is complete.

That, however, would seem to run counter to the goal of protecting the Libyan people.

Given Gadhafi’s murderous history, it’s hard to imagine the rebellious citizens would be safe for long if he remains in office.

Gadhafi must go, as Obama has rightly said. But this operation seems to lack a leader who can make that call.

The United Nations belatedly authorized the action but did not assume responsibility for its direction. For the moment, then, there’s no plan beyond this initial stage and no one in charge of developing one.

Part of the reluctance to commit to ousting Gadhafi is the uncertainty of who composes the rebel forces. It is quite possible that the new government eventually will be as bad as the old.

That’s why it is important that this be more than just a military campaign. Work must be done within the country by the United States and its allies to help build a responsible and stable replacement for the Gadhafi regime. They can’t just bomb some air bases and satellite towers and step away.

Obama is understandably reluctant to plunge fully into Libya. The United States is still neck deep in Iraq and Afghanistan. Still, this is a situation that demands leadership.

While France, Britain and even some Arab nations have committed to shouldering the burden, the coalition will not hold without someone in charge.

The United States remains the world’s only true superpower. That comes with certain responsibilities. It doesn’t have to be the world’s policeman. But like it or not, when the world does decide to act, as it has in Libya, it requires that the United States lead.

efforts: “this is not a Republican or Democratic issue. It is a referendum for change.”

The tough part comes next. While the symbolism of ousting two incumbent politicians with a recall vote may encourage people who think the system can’t work for them, institutional change will require scaling a much higher wall.

As the Herald reported, the county charter must be changed if political business is not to remain as usual.

“Commissioners,” it found, “have often refused to bring proposals to change the charter before the public for a vote.”

The momentum may be shifting. The commissioners are set to meet this week to plan a special election to replace Alvarez and Seijas. There is also a good chance, given the recall results, that they might consider reforming the charter and allow the public to vote on proposed changes.

Some pundits and Democratic politicians have predicted that the tea party movement to reform government is a flash in the pan and won't last through the 2012 election. Norman Braman begs to differ. He tells me a tea party group in Ft. Lauderdale “gave me a medal.”

demanding that government not spend more than it takes in and that it take in only what it absolutely needs, respecting the people who earn it, is that increasing numbers of us must be torn away from the public trough. “You can do it,” rather than “government will do it for you,” is the type of thinking that built America and sustained us through wars and economic downturns.

Four years ago, the Christian Science Monitor reported that, according to an analysis by Gary Shilling, an economist in Springfield, N.J., “Slightly over half of all Americans — 52.6 percent — now receive significant income from government programs.” That figure is probably higher today. No wonder many have become addicted to the politicians who keep sending them checks instead of encouraging the able-bodied to care for themselves. The United States is seriously and dangerously speeding toward socialism, in function, if not in name.

Howard Jarvis led an anti-tax revolt over high property taxes in California. In 2011, Norman Braman of Miami could be his successor.

You can find my article on my website (www.AskDrGottMD.com/newest-dietfad-should-be-avoided).

HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone found in pregnant women. It is currently prescribed by physicians as a fertility treatment. I believe this diet has gained popularity because it appeals to the American mentality of getting what you want without putting in the necessary effort. I also believe that this is not a wholly safe diet; therefore, I cannot condone it.

There is the saying “anything worth doing is worth doing right.” That means taking responsibility and making positive changes in eating and exercise habits.

OPINION III/LOCAL

All of us are living a rich life as Americans

We sat under concrete bridges as a steady flow of tractor and trailers whizzed by on the interstate above. The drivers had places to go, deliveries to make. A glance up to the overpass revealed 18 wheeler after 18 wheeler traveling south on Interstate 35. Maybe they were going to Austin or San Antonio or maybe they were headed across the border to Mexico.

It was a Sunday morning and there was a light, cool breeze as the sun struggled to break through the clouds above only to be blocked again. Driving by this area an hour earlier there had been a line of homeless individuals patiently waiting to be served hot coffee, a bowl of chili, and a thick slice of cornbread. We sang with the music leaders and sat among the homeless as a pastor in a baseball cap spoke of the importance of reading the Bible, of his ministry trip to Haiti, and of living an emotional life for God. Several T-shirts around us said “Troll” on them; a clever name for those who live under a bridge.

We were visiting Church Under the Bridge in Waco, Texas. My wife, Tanya, and I had enjoyed a weekend with our daughter, a senior at Baylor, and decided to join the homeless, students, and other members of this unique church that meets each week under the concrete overpasses where the interstate passes by the campus.

It was a new experience going to church in shorts and a T-shirt, having an individual down the row smoking during the church service, taking communion from individuals who were or are homeless, and putting an offering in a plastic Folgers coffee container with a slit cut in the lid.

Among the noise and distraction of a busy intersection and interstate, we all had gathered to learn from the man in the ball cap.

RICK KRAFT

JUST A THOUGHT

As my family and I looked around we saw people who looked like they didn’t own a clean shirt giving bear hugs to their friends and warmly welcoming others like us who visited that morning. As I absorbed the experience, I remembered that these homeless were born into the world just like you or me. Born with hopes and dreams.

Yet most of them didn’t have the opportunities that you or I had when we grew up.

I titled this column “Living a Rich Life in America.” I heard a powerful sermon about a year ago where the pastor drove home the point that each of us in American is rich financially. He quoted numbers such as if we make $37,000 a year, we are in the top 4 percent of the world in our income. If we make twice this amount, we are in the top 1 percent.

He said that as Americans, the challenge in our world is not how to become rich (because we are all already rich), the challenge in our lives is how to live rich. He drove home the concept that each of us is rich already although most of us don’t recognize it. He spoke of our the duties we have as rich people to make a difference in the lives of others.

You see, around 40 percent of the people in the world exist on less than $2 a day. A very high percentage of these live off closer to $1 a day. Americans average spending $105 per day. This means we average spending over 50 times what half the world lives off of each day. If you don’t feel rich

with what you have, visit one of these underdeveloped countries.

Across the world, poverty as a child is a result of what family you are born into, it isn’t a choice a newborn makes. On an international level, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Right now, the richest countries in the world are 75 times richer than the poorest countries.

Poverty is getting worse.

A major problem in many areas is the lack of fresh water. Across the world, unsafe water and poor sanitation kill nearly 1.5 million children a year. Many children must drink polluted water because of the lack of any other option. In some villages, children walk an hour or two to draw fresh water from a river or lake and then carry it back to their village only to turn around and travel for a second load.

This is what they do all day every day.

We turn a metal handle and it magically produces fresh water. In these poverty stricken lands, many just try to survive from day to day. They have no time to educate their youth. A fresh water well and a set of books will, in very little time, change forever the direction of an entire village.

Poverty is a lack of the essential things in life: food, clean water, basic health care. Those who experience poverty deal with issues such as hopelessness and lack of dignity. They deal with questions like, how can my child survive the first five years of life? How can he get an education? Why can’t I find a means of providing income?

We drink a $4 cup of coffee or a $1 bottle of water and don’t think twice about how good we have it. We complain when the price of gas goes up a dime a gallon when most in this world would love to just own a car. We have been so blessed and we don’t even know it. What did we do to be born in such a rich country?

Our worlds rotate around us. It is all right for us to be focused on what is nearby, our children, other family members, needs in our own community, needs in our country. But as we take care of local needs, consider the needs on the other side of the world also. A very little can go a long way in a poverty setting. Give a mere $30 to a charity that helps feed the poor and you may can feed a child for a month. Wow! I have two challenges for you today.

First, be grateful for what you have been blessed with. Whether you are happy with what you have or unhappy with what you don’t have, either way you have the same things. Remember that you have been blessed beyond measure and don’t take this fact lightly. Recognize that on an international level, you are living the life of a rich person and you have many blessings to be counted.

Second, make a difference not only locally, but also internationally to fight poverty in underdeveloped countries. Maybe skip an expensive cup of quality coffee a few times a month and send a check to a cause that is working on giving youth growing up in poverty a chance to chase a dream. Used properly, your donation should be a “hand up,” not a “hand out.” Contribute towards a fresh water well or books to provide an education..

In the Bible at Luke 12:48 we are told, “When someone has been given much, much will be required in return, when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.” Ponder this scripture.

Be very careful with poisons Spring is here! Many of you will begin spring cleaning and you likely will come into contact with several varieties of poisonous cleaning compounds. National Poison Prevention Awareness Week is a great time to learn how to avoid poisons. You should begin by programming the Poison Control Hotline number into your cell phone: 1800-222-1222. If you have pets, the Pet Poison Hotline number is 1-888426-4435.

Your household chores in the spring may be associated with a number of serious home dangers including poisonings.

When cleaning out your cabinets, read all product and medications labels carefully and separate those that say “caution,” “warning” or “danger” on them. To prevent poison exposures, lock these up out of sight and reach of young children. Please follow all safety recommendations when using harsh products, such as wearing gloves and masks. Never mix products together! You can create a toxic and deadly substance!

There are at least three ways you can become overexposed. Inhaling hazardous airbor ne vapors, dusts and fibers can lead to headaches, nausea, respiratory problems and sometimes even fatal ailments. Swallowing hazardous substances can poison you also.

Overexposure can also happen by way of skin and eye contact. There may be irritation, burn, and perhaps serious eye damage and some chemicals can enter the bloodstream through skin contact.

If you work with hazardous materials, be careful that you don’t bring these hazards home at the end of the day. You can transport poisons home in work clothing, or

in tools and equipment, in work-related materials.

Finally, follow these good hygiene habits to help you protect yourself and your family from contamination: • Keep food, cof fee mugs, and other nonessential items out of the work area.

• Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking, smoking, or using the toilet if you've been working where you could have been exposed to hazardous substances.

• Don’t keep work clothes in the same locker with your personal clothing.

• Wash thoroughly after any potential exposure to a hazardous substance for at least 15 minutes.

• Shower and change clothes when possible before leaving work.

• Launder work clothes separately from other clothing or linens.

• Don’t take tools, scrap, packaging, and similar items home.

World News in Brief Talks on fate of Yemen’s president snag

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A spokesman for embattled Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh says talks with the opposition have made no progress toward a deal on the president’s possible resignation.

Ahmed al-Sufi says Saleh’s vice president and political adviser met Saturday with the U.S. ambassador and tribal and military leaders who have defected to the opposition.

Al-Sufi said the ruling party wanted to discuss a transition, but that the opposition demanded Saleh’s immediate resignation. He called the demand unacceptable.

Saleh has responded to weeks of demonstrations calling for his ouster with violence and promises to leave power only in an “honorable” way. The opposition says he’s stalling.

The U.S. Embassy declined to comment.

200,000 in Germany protest nuclear power

BERLIN (AP) — Tens of thousands of people on Saturday turned out in Germany’s largest cities to protest the use of nuclear power in the wake of Japan’s Fukushima reactor disaster, police and organizers said.

In Berlin alone more than 100,000 took to the capital’s streets to urge Germany’s leaders to immediately abolish nuclear power, a police spokesman said.

Organizers said some 250,000 people marched at the “Fukushima Warns: Pull the Plug on all Nuclear Power Plants” rallies in the country’s four largest cities, making them the biggest anti-nuclear protest in the country’s history.

The disaster at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear facility triggered Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative government last week to order a temporary shut down of seven of the country’s older reactors pending thorough safety investigations. Officials have since hinted several of them might never go back into service.

Protesters burn gov. buildings in Syria

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Protesters set fire to offices of the ruling party in southern and western Syria on Saturday, burning tires and attacking cars and shops in a religiously mixed city on the Mediterranean coast, according to accounts by government officials, activists and witnesses.

Presidential adviser Bouthaina Shaaban told reporters that demonstrators attacked a police station and offices of the Baath party in the town of Tafas, six miles north of the city of Daraa, epicenter of more than a week of anti-government protests.

In the coastal city of Latakia, dozens of people protested before attacking the Baath offices, said Ammar Qurabi, an exile in Egypt who heads Syria’s National Organization for Human Rights.

A Syrian activist in touch with protesters in Latakia said hundreds had been demonstrating there since Friday evening, burning tires and shouting “Freedom!” A few protesters were attacking cars and shops, the activist said.

With the peace process going nowhere, the threat of new violence increasing and the Palestinians badly divided, people in the West Bank and Gaza are surveying the rapid changes in the rest of the Arab world — and growing impatient with stagnation at home.

In Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, officials are quietly working on a plan: Going for statehood without agreement with Israel, bypassing the moribund peace process.

First mooted last fall, the notion precedes the Arab revolts but has been lent even greater urgency by them.

In Gaza, ruled by the rival Hamas movement, a current is emerging from the ground up: people are beginning to question four years of life under an Islamic militant group that has opposed peace efforts, ruled with an iron fist and tried to enforce a strict religious lifestyle. Although revolt seems unlikely for now, the crowded coastal strip has experienced a series of demonstrations with youths calling for national reconciliation between the two Palestinian territories.

Despite the stirrings, Palestinians in both areas have not risen up in great numbers as in Egypt, or caused riots that turned deadly as in Syria.

But that could change, especially if the statehood hopes fizzle — or if the Arab revolts come closer to

home, perhaps engulfing the neighboring kingdom of Jordan, whose majority is Palestinian and from where revolutionary sentiment could easily spread to the West Bank.

“I believe that change is coming to our part of the world. We need as Palestinians to catch the moment,” said Saed Issac, a 22-year-old law student in Gaza. “It’s time for national unity first, to elect new leaders, and to work hard to achieve our task to end the occupation.”

Issac was referring to Israel’s control over Palestinians’ lives — which Palestinians feel applies not only to the West Bank, where power is shared in a complex arrangement dating back to the 1990 autonomy accords, but also in besieged Gaza, even though Israeli settlers and soldiers pulled out five years ago.

In Israel, many eye the changes in the Arab world warily, fearing freedom could unleash more hostility — and that is doubly true when it comes to the Palestinians.

“Sooner or later, the Arab revolt will reach (the Palestinians),” wrote columnist Ari Shavit in the Haaretz newspaper. He said the Palestinians were influenced by “the trauma of Hamas’ rise in the Gaza Strip, relative prosperity in the West Bank” and the expectation of statehood within materializing months. If that expectation is disappointed “a political tsunami” will result, he predicted.

Hamas won a 2006 vote,

Sunday, March 27, 2011

beating Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party and emerging with a majority in parliament. Feeling it was denied its rightful share of power, the group’s militants seized Gaza by force a year later, leaving Palestinians divided between rival governments.

A paradoxical challenge results: Hamas won elections but rules Gaza in authoritarian fashion, while Fatah, despite canceling recent elections, has made strides in convincing the world community that in the West Bank it is genuinely laying the foundations of a functioning independent state.

The picture that emerges from interviews with top Palestinian Authority officials, most off the record, marks a break from past policies that ranged from negotiations to violence and terror attacks. It combines what seems like genuine commitment to nonviolence with utter impatience with more talks with Israel.

September — which President Barack Obama had earlier set as a target for a negotiated peace deal — is emerging as the focus here as well.

“Negotiations have hit a dead end, and the U.S. administration is not willing to pressure Israel.

Therefore, we have no other option except taking our case to the international community,” said Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Ishtayeh.

Abbas’ prime minister, Salam Fayyad, has long cited September 2011 as the moment his people will be ready for independence,

A7

after a two-year program of rehabilitating courts, police and other institutions. It also coincides with the annual meeting of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly.

Ishtayeh said Abbas would seize that moment to ask in his address to world leaders for recognition of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as well as Gaza — lands that were captured in the 1967 Middle East war. Success in the assembly seems far more likely than in the more powerful U.N. Security Council, whose decisions are legally binding but where the United States, still committed to a negotiated settlement, would probably use its veto power.

The Palestinians say 120 of the 192 countries in the General Assembly have already granted full diplomatic recognition to Palestine, including a recent string of Latin American nations. Many have said the state should be based along the pre-1967 boundary between Israel and the West Bank — ef fectively taking the Palestinians’ side on the border question, since Israel hopes to keep parts of the West Bank under a future deal.

Israel had previously dismissed the General Assembly as toothless, but that is starting to change.

Snoop Dogg, Warren G attend service for Nate Dogg

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Rappers Snoop Dogg, Warren G and The Game joined family, friends and about 1,000 fans of Nate Dogg to remember the hiphop singer, who died this month of complications from multiple strokes.

The family of Nate Dogg — whose real name was Nathaniel Dwayne Hale — decided that the ceremony at the Queen Mary Dome would not be open to the public as they previously wanted, but they made

The dome in Hale’s hometown of Long Beach is adjacent to the historic ship the Queen Mary and was the for mer home of Howard Hughes’ airplane folly, the Spruce Goose.

Organizers had sought a more central location for the funeral, but none proved large enough for the numbers of expected mourners. A private dinner was planned after the service.

Hale started out singing in church choirs, then formed a group with Snoop Dogg and Warren G while the trio was in high school in Long Beach.

His almost monotone vocal stylings anchored some of rap’s most seminal songs and helped define the sound of West Coast hip-hop on tracks usually produced by Dr. Dre and performed by rappers like Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Warren G. He remained sought after as a

singer more than a decade after his original success, supplying vocals to more recent tracks by 50 Cent and Ludacris.

Hale dropped out of high

school, was dishonorably discharged from the Marines and dabbled in the drug trade before finding success as Nate Dogg on Dr. Dre’s classic 1992

album “The Chronic.”

Late in life, he was plagued by legal and health problems, including at least two strokes in 2008.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS BORBON SCRATCHED WITH TIGHTNESS IN LEFT ELBOW

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers center fielder Julio Borbon was scratched from the lineup Saturday with tightness in his left elbow, a day after he was benched early in a game by manager Ron Washington.

Borbon, with his elbow bandaged, struggled in the batting cage before facing the Chicago Cubs. He was replaced in the lineup by David Murphy.

Borbon was removed in the second inning Friday night against Colorado for what Washington said was a “teachable moment.”

Washington thought Borbon was late getting to the on-deck circle with two outs in the second inning of Texas’ 10-3 loss. Borbon said he had put on his batting gloves and was climbing the dugout stairs but that Washington didn’t see him.

Borbon is hitting .375 this spring with five stolen bases, but also has committed five errors in 19 games.

Institute pitcher Joe Stearns delivers a pitch in the top of the first inning of NMMI’s loss to Estancia in the championship game of the Roswell Sertoma Club NMMI Colt Classic, Saturday. Estancia won the Classic title for the first time in school history with the victory.

Tularosa tops GCS

In the championship game of the Roswell Sertoma Club NMMI Colt Classic, NMMI trailed Estancia twice early, but was able to tie it up or take the lead each time.

When the Bears took their third lead of the game, it was easy to assume that the “Cardiac Kids” would just have to come back again.

Unfortunately for NMMI, the third time wasn’t the charm and Estancia pulled away for a 12-6 win on Saturday.

Estancia took an early 10 lead in the top of the first but the Colts, who had won their previous four games by one run and had been tagged with the “Cardiac Kids” nickname from coach Charlie Ward, were able to take the lead in the home half of the first.

Steele Blue started the NMMI first with a single, moved to second on a sacri-

fice bunt by Caleb Taylor and tied the game on a triple to right field by John Bonhoff.

The Colts took the lead on the triple when Jonathan Lujan’s throw to third sailed to the fence, enabling Bonhoff to score.

The see-saw affair continued into the second as the Bears reclaimed the lead with two runs.

Not surprisingly that lead was also short-lived.

In the bottom of the second, Trevor Fowler got hit by a pitch and then stole second base.

A deep flyout by Angelo Santomenna moved Fowler to third and Blue drove him home with an RBI single.

Ward said that his team’s ability to come from behind shows that they will never give up. “(Our ability to come back) shows that we are going to fight and that we are going to battle until the end,” he said. “We are going to keep working. I know where we can go and we are just going to keep getting

better. I’m a fighter and we are going to work.”

In the top of the third, the Bears scored two runs to take a 5-3 lead and after they held NMMI in check in the bottom of the inning, they tacked on five more runs in the fourth to take a seven-run lead.

NMMI, who has thrived in tight matches lately, scored twice in the fourth to cut the lead to five, but couldn’t muster a final comeback.

Ward said that Estancia is a team that is built to win now.

“They are a seasoned team,” he said. “This is their year. They have horses that can swing a bat. We’re not quite there and we are going play small ball.”

Even though NMMI had just lost, based on the body language and high spirits, it would have been easy to think it had just won the game.

Dexter’s Justin Salas turns around third on his way home to score a run during the Demons’ 15-5 win over Capitan in the Roswell Sertoma Club NMMI Colt Classic, Saturday.

Just a day after mustering just three runs and making 10 errors, the Dexter Demons looked like a well-oiled baseball machine in the third-place game of the Roswell Sertoma Club NMMI Colt Classic.

Dexter pounded out 15 runs on 10 hits on Saturday and breezed past Capitan, 15-5, in six innings to pick up the thirdplace trophy.

“That’s a really good win. It’s nice to actually have more hits than errors,” said Demon coach Archie Duran after the game. “The kids came around really good and they were seeing the ball up at the plate.

“The major thing was keeping our errors down and hitting the ball. That was the main thing of today’s game.”

The Demons certainly hit the ball, especially in the first three innings.

Dexter plated four runs in each of the first three innings and led 12-2 after three complete.

In the first, Justin Salas smacked a two-run single to score Steven Marquez and Ricardo Robles. Brenyn Marshall scored the Demons’ third run on a wild pitch and Salas scored from third when Amador Amay singled to shallow center.

In the second, Marquez scored on an

RBI double by Robles, Robles scored on a balk, Marshall scored on an RBI double by Salas and Salas scored on an RBI single

by Bryan Mireles.

After Capitan got a pair of runs in the top of the third, Dexter plated four more runs in the bottom half of the same inning.

Adam Brown came across on a wild pitch for the first run and Salas blasted a three-run inside-the-park home run to deep right-center field that plated Miles and Marshall for the second, third and fourth runs of the inning.

Duran said the quick start was big for his team.

“It was a great boost. It seemed like the kids got more calm and they got more into the game. They were excited going up there (to the plate), knowing they could swing and hit the ball. “(Capitan) went through several different pitchers against us and we just seemed to find it and hit it. It was a great thing for them to come out and do that.”

Capitan avoided a five-inning loss with a run in the fifth and got back to within seven with a pair of runs in the sixth, but Dexter closed it out in the sixth.

In third, Tularosa plated six runs on four hits. C. Martinez tripled to drive home a run and Patrick Lathan singled up the middle to drive home two to account for three of the Wildcats’ runs in the inning.

Gateway had just one baserunner in the last two innings en route to the loss.

Meeks took the loss for the Warriors after allowing 12 runs on seven hits in 2 1 ⁄ 3 innings. Gill gave up Tularosa’s final three runs in 1 2⁄3 innings.

At the plate, Cody Raines, Daniel Ramirez, Gill, Bechtel and Meeks each had a hit.

Neron Ornelas got the win for the Wildcats after working just two innings. Julio Chavez came on in relief and allowed no hits while striking out five.

Goddard 8, Artesia 6 RIO RANCHO — Goddard fell behind 60 after four innings, but scored eight runs in the final three innings to down Artesia at the Rio Rancho Tournament on Saturday.

Trailing 6-0, with two Bulldog runners on base, the Rockets’ Austin Rader was moved to pitcher and proceeded to shut down Artesia the rest of the way.

Rader finished the rest of the way for Goddard and allowed one hit and no runs.

“It was big,” Rocket coach Steve Nunez said about Rader’s relief work. “He came in and the main concern was throwing strikes and he did that. We played good defense behind him.”

The Goddard bats finally came to life in the fifth as the Rockets cut the Bulldog lead to 6-3.

In the top of the sixth, Goddard’s Chris Nunez plated three runs with a double to tie the game at six and by the end of the inning, the Rockets had claimed the lead.

Steve Nunez said that his team just

doesn’t give up.

“These guys don’t give up,” he said. “We have that don’t give up attitude. We are senior led this year and we aren’t going to do down without a fight.”

Chris Nunez finished the game with three hits, while Rader and Ryan Greene had two hits each for the Rockets.

Silver 8, Goddard 3 ARTESIA — Silver got all it needed in the first inning and cruised to a five-run victory over the Rockets at the Artesia Invitational, Saturday.

The Colts got four runs in the first and never let Goddard back in it, something Rocket coach David Lawrence said hurt his team.

“It was kind of a slow-paced game,” he said. “They capitalized on a couple of key errors that we had that gave them a fourrun first.

“That hurt us and put us in the hole.”

Victoria Blackburn was 2 for 3 at the plate for the Rockets. Mara Thorp went 1 for 3 and scored a run.

Danielle Hubbard took the loss. She gave up eight runs on eight hits and struck out one.

Goddard 10, Belen 2 ARTESIA — Goddard picked up its third win of the season in its second game of the day at the Artesia Invitational, defeating Belen by eight runs to move to 3-7 on the season.

Rebekka Franco picked up the win for the Rockets. She gave up two runs on four hits and struck out seven.

“She pitched real well actually,” said Lawrence about Franco’s performance in the circle.

At the plate, Thorp was 2 for 4, Hubbard was 2 for 3, Blackburn was 1 for 3 with two runs scored and Franco was 1 for 2 and scored a pair of runs.

“We needed the win,” Lawrence said. “We talked about not going 0-3 in this tournament. We have to host Clovis on Tuesday,

Roswell Daily Record

so we wanted to make sure we had a good feeling going into Tuesday.”

Jal 11, Dexter 0 DEXTER — Jal broke open a scoreless game with six runs in the third inning and cruised to a five-inning victory over the Demons in the third-place game of the eighth annual Lindsey Callaway Tournament, Saturday.

After Jal got six in the third, the Panthers added three in the fourth and two in the fifth to secure the win.

Tamara Salas recorded the Demons’ lone hit of the game with a single in the first inning. She stole second and third after the hit, but was stranded at third.

Jenna Garcia took the loss after giving up 11 runs on seven hits and striking out three.

“We would have liked to have done better, of course,” said Demon coach Chanda Crandall. “The girls are keeping a positive attitude and keeping their heads up as much as possible. They know they can do better, but we just need to get more practices in and see more pitchers.”

Lovington 6, Roswell 5 (10 inn.)

Hobbs 8, Roswell 7 ARTESIA — Roswell dropped two onerun games during the last day of the Artesia Invitational on Saturday.

In the first game, Roswell had a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh with two outs, but a dropped fly ball opened the door for Lovington and the Wildcats took advantage, tying the game and, in the 10th, they were able to win in walk-off fashion.

Roswell coach Art Sandoval said that he told his team they would have to play an entire seven innings if they wanted to beat Lovington.

“We jumped out to an early lead,” he said. “But we explained to our girls that Lovington is scrappy and if you don’t play a complete seven innings, it will haunt you and you will get beat. (That error) was just one of those things that happens.”

In the second game, Roswell fell behind

5-1, and could never get over the hump.

Sandoval said that despite the record, he is proud of how his team played at the Invite.

“Hobbs jumped out on top and they are a pretty good ballteam,” he said. “But, I tell you what, we battled back. We battled and worked our tail off. I am really proud of our kids. In the last three games, we have played three one-run games.”

Kaylynn Ortiz hit a three-run homer for the Coyotes against Hobbs.

College baseball

Frank Phillips College 7-8, NMMI 4-5 BORGER, Texas — The NMMI Bronco baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader against Frank Phillips College, Saturday. Donald Fennell took the loss in Game 1 for the Broncos and Seth Seabrease took the loss in Game 2.

No other information was available at press time.

Women’s tennis

NMMI 5, Seminole State College 1 BAYTOWN, Texas — The New Mexico Military Institute women’s tennis team secured ninth place with an overwhelming win over Seminole State College in the ninth-place match of the National Dual Match Invitational, Saturday.

Karla Martinez and Litia Godinet picked up an 8-2 win at first doubles and Adalyn Hazelman and Alyssa Hawkins won 8-3 at second doubles to put NMMI up 2-0.

Samantha Dunn and Jazmin Burt dropped third doubles 8-4.

Martinez then won 6-1, 6-2 at first singles, Godinet won 6-1, 6-1 at second singles and Hazelman won 6-1, 6-0 at third singles to secure the victory for the Broncos.

“They played really good. We got better over the course of the tournament,” said Institute coach Zeljka Vidic. “This was a hard tournament and they played really well. I’m proud of them.

“Everybody played well and stepped up.

It was a good win for us.”

Gonzaga pulls another upset, reaches Elite Eight

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Gonzaga’s surprising postseason journey, led by its spunky point guard, has at least one more chapter to go — this one with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

Courtney Vandersloot did a little of everything again, scoring 29 points, handing out seven assists and getting seven steals, and 11thseeded Gonzaga advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history with a 76-69 win against Louisville on Saturday night.

Playing less than two miles from their campus, the Bulldogs (31-4) sent the blood pressure rising for the 10,000 or so hometown fans in attendance after nearly squandering all of a 20point second-half lead.

But the Bulldogs made just enough plays in the final 4 minutes to hold off Louisville’s furious late charge. The Bulldogs will face either top-seeded Stanford or No. 5 seed North Carolina in the regional final on Monday night.

Gonzaga is the lowest seed to ever advance to a regional final in the history of the women’s tournament and has the chance to be the first school from outside the six major conferences to reach the Final Four since Jackie Stiles led Southwest Missouri State — now Missouri State — to the national semifinals in 2001.

And Stiles did it by winning a regional held in Spokane.

Janelle Bekkering came up big in the closing minutes for Gonzaga with eight of her 15 points, including a baseline drive with 4:01 left that broke a nearly five minute scoreless streak for the Bulldogs. Kelly Bowen added 12 and Katelan Redmon scored 10 for the Bulldogs, who have now won 21 straight games.

Shoni Schimmel led seventh-seeded Louisville (2213) with 18 points, but did not find her shot until midway through the second half, missing 12 of her first 13 attempts. Keshia Hines scored a season-high 17, but the Cardinals got just five minutes out of leading scorer Monique Reid, who suffered a right groin strain in the first 90 seconds of the game. She briefly returned in the second half and missed the only shot she took, finishing with two points.

As great as Schimmel was in getting Louisville to the

regional semifinals with 33 points in an upset of No. 2 seed Xavier, the freshman point guard endured the struggles of a freshman for the first 30 minutes against the Zags. She made 8 of 23 shots overall, and 2 of 10 on 3-point attempts.

Vandersloot added another mark to her stellar career, setting an NCAA record for assists in a single season when she found Bowen for a three-point play less than two minutes into the second half. It was part of a 16-7 Bulldogs’ spurt that pushed their lead to 51-31.

Tennessee 85, Ohio State 75 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — There are halftime chats and then there are coach’s rants. Pat Summitt hasn’t won 1,071 games by not knowing when to let her team have it.

Summitt absolutely lit up her Tennessee Lady Vols at the break and their regional semifinal game Saturday tilted soon after. With Shekinna Stricklen scoring 14 of her 20 points in the second half and touching off a critical 11-3 second-half run, Summitt and the Lady Vols moved into their accustomed spot in the Elite Eight with an 85-75 win over Ohio State.

“It was about an 8 1/2,” she said, rating her halftime speech on a scale where 10 is when the paint peels off the walls. “I wasn’t real happy. But that’s what you have to do at times. You go into the locker room and get a feel. One thing about this team, they do respond.

Sometimes I think they kind of like to hear the coaches going off.”

The Lady Vols (34-2) won their 25th consecutive game, but only took control with their charge in the final minutes.

Meighan Simmons added 18 points and Kelley Cain — inserted into the starting lineup to offset Ohio State’s height advantage — had 16 for Tennessee, which is pursuing a ninth NCAA title.

The Lady Vols meet Notre Dame, a 78-53 winner over Oklahoma, in the regional championship game on Monday night, with a trip to the Final Four in Indianapolis on the line.

“Coach kind of lit a fire under our butts in the second half,” Cain said. “We played better. We were getting up in their grilles, making them play at a different

level than they were used to.”

Simmons grinned as she said, “Coach went off on us in the locker room.”

None of the Lady Vols were really surprised. They had not been aggressive on defense, leading to Ohio State (24-10) shooting 67 percent in the opening half.

The Buckeyes led by as many as six before settling for a 42-40 lead at the break.

“We played on our heels a little more in the first half,” said Angie Bjorklund, who didn’t score but had seven assists.

With the game hanging in the balance and Tennessee on top 58-57, Stricklen twice made big plays to provide some breathing room.

First, she hit a deep, deep 3 as the shot clock was draining away. After an Ohio State miss, she took the ball from the right wing and bulled her way along the baseline to power in a layup for a 63-57 lead.

After Brittany Johnson hit one of her four 3s for Ohio State, the Lady Vols ran off six points in a row for their largest lead of the game.

Simmons stopped and popped in a shot from 15 feet, Taber Spani made a follow and then Spani drilled a long jumper to make it 69-60.

Ohio State got as close as eight points in the last minute, but Stricklen scored seven in a row for the Lady Vols to hold the

Buckeyes at bay.

Samantha Prahalis had 22 points and seven assists for the Big Ten champions, while Jantel Lavender had 19 points, Johnson 16 and Tayler Hill 12. It was a bad 24 hours for Ohio State, which also had its top-seeded and top-ranked men’s team eliminated in the sweet 16 on Friday night by another traditional power, Kentucky.

Notre Dame 78, Oklahoma 53 DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — No overtime this time. Notre Dame’s defense needed less than a half to end the drama.

Brittany Mallory scored season-high 20 points Saturday, and Notre Dame’s defensive pressure took its toll in a 78-53 win over Oklahoma that sent the second-seeded Fighting Irish to the regional final.

Notre Dame (29-7) will play top-seeded Tennessee on Monday. The Lady Vols (34-2) pulled away from Ohio State in the second half for an 85-75 win — their 25th straight — in the other semifinal.

Nicole Griffin scored 18 points for Oklahoma (2312), which reached the Final Four each of the last two years. Notre Dame’s go-forthe-ball pressure crumpled the Sooners’ guard-driven offense, which had only eight field goals and 14 turnovers in the decisive first half.

It was the third time in the last four years that the Sooners and Fighting Irish met in the NCAA tournament. The first two games dripped with drama and went to overtime. Notre Dame won the first time, 79-75 in the second round in 2008. Oklahoma got the rematch, 77-72 last year in a regional semifinal in Kansas City.

Add a blowout to the budding rivalry.

Oklahoma (23-12) reached the Final Four each of the last two seasons.

Their guard-driven offense led by Danielle Robinson (18.4 points per game) and freshman Aaryn Ellenberg (16.4) got rolling late in the season and pulled them through the first two rounds of the tournament.

They were under constant pressure from a defense

that ranks third in the country in steals. There was a hand with green fingernail polish — a Notre Dame tournament tradition — reaching for every pass and every dribble. Robinson finished with 16 points on 6 of 16 shooting. Ellenberg had nine on 4 of 13 shooting.

Natalie Novosel added 15 points, and Devereaux Peters had 17 points and 13 rebounds for Notre Dame, which got the better of a turnover -filled, uptempo game. Each team had 24 turnovers.

Notre Dame opened with a 9-4 run that included three 3s by Mallory, who hadn’t made more than three in any game this season. The senior guard was 0 for 10 from behind the arc in her last three games. She finished with a career-high six 3s.

Rangers LHP Wilson leaves with tight hamstring

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson has left his latest spring start after two innings because of tightness in his left hamstring.

Wilson left Saturday’s game against the Chicago Cubs as a precautionary measure.

He then went to the back fields and completed his work in a bullpen session.

Wilson is set to start on opening day next week against Boston. The lefty gave up three runs and four hits against the Cubs before coming out.

Nova and Garcia win rotation spots

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The New York Yankees completed their rotation Saturday, tabbing Ivan Nova and Freddy Garcia as starters and putting Bartolo Colon in the bullpen.

Nova and Garcia will join CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Phil Hughes in the rotation, manager Joe Girardi said.

Nova went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 games, including seven starts for the Yankees last season. The right-hander went 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five exhibition games, including four starts.

“We didn’t know what Nova was going to do,” Girardi said. “Obviously, we had expectations for Nova.”

Garcia had a 12-6 record in 2010 with the Chicago White Sox. “The innings that Freddy has logged in, the wins last year,” Girardi said. “He stayed healthy all of last year.”

Garcia will be fifth in the rotation.

“Finally,” a smiling Garcia said. “Of course I’m happy. I’ve worked really hard this spring.

We’ll go from here.”

Colon hasn’t pitched in the majors since September 2009 and earned his spot with an impressive spring training.

“Bartolo is a guy that we think can do a lot of things in our bullpen, or if needed, a spot start,” Girardi said. “Not asking him to throw 200 innings might be easier on him physically.

But we just thought for this fit for right now, that’s where he was best and could be most

productive.”

Colon was ill and not at the ballpark Saturday.

“He’s excited to be here,” Girardi said.

“He’s happy. He was the wild card in all of this.

I really didn’t have any expectations for Bartolo. I had no idea what to think he was going to do.”

Also, left-handed reliever Pedro Feliciano will likely start the regular season on the disabled list due to left upper arm soreness. He will play catch Sunday.

“You’ll probably know by Tuesday,” Girardi said.

Luis Ayala and Romulo Sanchez are among those that could take Feliciano’s spot if needed.

Center fielder Curtis Granderson, out with muscle soreness on his right side, remains questionable for opening day. He hit off a tee, took part in a soft toss session, ran the bases and threw.

Granderson still feels a little tightness and knows time is running out for him to be ready for Thursday’s season-opener against Detroit.

“Everything was pretty good,” Granderson said. “Another step forward.”

Cubs cut RHP Carlos Silva, owed $11.5 million

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Chicago Cubs right-hander Carlos Silva has been told he will not be on the team’s 25-man roster when the season starts Friday.

Cubs general manager Jim Hendry announced Saturday that Andrew Cashner will be the club’s fifth starter, leaving Silva without a spot. Hendry said Silva would be offered a minor league assignment, but Silva said there was “no chance” he would report to Triple-A Iowa.

If Silva opts to be released, the Cubs are on the hook for his $11.5 million salary this season.

Silva was 1-2 with a 10.90 ERA in five appearances this spring after going 10-6 with a 4.22 ERA in 21 starts last year in his first season with the Cubs.

Cashner started Saturday’s game against the Texas Rangers.

Poll: Ohioans support embattled Buckeyes coach

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new poll says Ohio voters support Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel and don’t think he should be fired over allegations that he violated NCAA bylaws and covered it up.

The Quinnipiac University poll released Friday says 83 percent of those who were aware of the allegations think the Ohio State coach should keep his job. Fifty-six percent say he has been punished sufficiently, with 30 percent saying he got off easy.

Tressel will sit out the first five games next season and was fined $250,000 by the university for failing to notify the school about allegations that two players were selling autographed memorabilia. He could face additional sanctions from the NCAA. Overall, 56 percent of those surveyed

Butler pulls upset for second straight Final Four

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Of course Butler erased a late deficit. Of course the Bulldogs hit a clutch 3pointer late in overtime. Of course they’re going back to the Final Four.

This is the Butler Way. Shelvin Mack scored 27 points, including five in overtime, and Butler returned to the Final Four with a 74-71 victory over Florida on Saturday.

Matt Howard scored 14 and Khyle Marshall added 10 for the Bulldogs (27-9), who showed again they simply won’t give in, climbing out of an 11point hole in the second half.

Mack’s 3-pointer with 1:21 left in overtime gave Butler the lead for good at 72-70.

Kenny Boynton missed a

long 3 that could have given Florida (29-8) the lead with a little under 20 seconds left. Alex Tyus appear ed to have the of fensive r ebound, but Howard tied him up and the possession arr ow favored Butler.

Florida had to foul Mack with 10.6 seconds to go, and he hit both shots for the final margin.

Ver non Macklin had a career -high 25 points for second-seeded Florida, the third-straight higher seed from a major conference to be vanquished by the Bulldogs.

Boynton finished with 17 points and Tyus had his second-straight double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Butler had to overcome Florida’s size advantage

and a number of its own mistakes.

In regulation, the Bulldogs made 10 of 20 free throws and shot 39.6 percent (21 of 53), including 8 of 30 fr om 3-point range. Yet they somehow found a way to survive to overtime, when they hit all seven foul shots and three of their eight field goals.

Remarkably, Butler also outrebounded the Gators, 41-34.

Now the Bulldogs ar e one win away from a second straight appearance in the national championship game.

Florida appeared to be taking control when Tyus, the leading scor er and r ebounder in Florida’s overtime win over BYU, got loose for a pair of soaring dunks, then added two

free throws and a driving floater during a 12-1 run that gave the Gators a 5140 lead with 9:26 left.

Howard’s basket inside as he was fouled snapped the run, then seldom-used reserve Chrishawn Hopkins, who’d just set up Howard’s score, added a 3 as Butler slowly clawed its way back again, finally tying it at 57 with 3:03 to go on the second of consecutive driving layups by Mack.

Macklin, who’d been limited by foul trouble in the second half — he committed his fourth with 9:02 left — returned to hit a free throw and a layup on a strong move inside to make it 60-57. Mack’s free throws cut it to one point and Howard had a chance to give Butler the lead after drawing a foul with 30.7 seconds left.

He missed his second free throw, then Florida’s Irving Walker missed a long pull-up jumper — his

eighth straight miss to that point — forcing overtime.

Butler initially took a 67-64 lead in the overtime on Ronald Nor ed’s fr ee throws, but Florida came back with a couple of clutch 3s. Boynton’s tied it 67, then Walker finally hit his first field goal from 3 to put the Gators up 7069.

That’s when Mack responded with his big 3 that propelled Butler to its latest upset.

Butler had a couple of good omens early on.

Mack hit his first 3 off the backboard, Chandler Parsons uncharacteristically missed a layup and Butler followed that by hustling for a long of fensive rebound on the other end to set up Mack’s second 3.

After another jumper by Mack, Butler had an early 8-4 lead and the solid start they were looking for.

Soon after, though, the 6-foot-10 Macklin went to

the one shot in his repertoir e that Butler was bound to have tr ouble defending — the jump hook.

Macklin made a six of them in the first half and added a strong, spinning baseline drive for a layup as he made seven of his first eight shots. One of his jump hooks over Howard gave Florida a 2515 lead with about 7 minutes left in the first half.

Butler needed outside shots to start falling to stay in the game, and senior backup Zach Hahn was the answer. His first 3 ignited a 7-0 run and his second, an open look set up by Howard, pulled Butler to 27-25.

Florida maintained a small lead the remainder of the half, but Marshall’s putback of a missed 3 in the final seconds got the Bulldogs to 33-32 at halftime.

Kemba, UConn escape Arizona, advance to Final Four

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — With nine pressure-packed victories in 19 days, Connecticut has been on an exhausting sprint through the postseason for nearly three weeks now.

Turns out Kemba Walker and his Huskies aren’t slowing down until they get to Houston.

Walker scored 20 points, freshman Jeremy Lamb added 19 and Connecticut ear ned its second Final Four berth in three years, beating Arizona 65-63 Sat-

urday to win the West regional.

Derrick Williams and Jamelle Horne missed 3pointers in the final seconds for Arizona, allowing the third-seeded Huskies (30-9) to hang on after Lamb, the Huskies’ fearless freshman, scored six key points down the stretch.

After missing the NCAA tournament entirely last year, coach Jim Calhoun’s tireless team is headed to UConn’s fourth Final Four, punctuated by an ebullient

celebration in a building packed with Arizona fans.

“This is no time to be tired,” Walker said. “We’re trying to get as far as possible. We want to win this whole thing.”

Williams had 20 points while battling foul trouble for the fifth-seeded Wildcats (30-8), who led with 6 minutes to play. After Lamb pushed the Huskies ahead and Walker hit a jumper with 1:13 left, Lamont Jones and Horne then hit late 3-pointers for Ari-

zona, but the Wildcats couldn’t convert two good looks in the final seconds.

“The second one, I thought it was definitely going in,” Lamb said.

“When he missed it, I looked at the clock and saw zero-zero, and I just went, ‘Whooooo.’ It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had.”

UConn also made the Final Four in 1999, 2004 and 2009 — all three times out of the West. In sweet redemption for a program and a veteran coach tarred by scandals over the past year, the Huskies will face the winner of North Carolina’s East regional final against Kentucky next Saturday.

The Huskies are the last team standing from the Big East’s 11 NCAA entrants.

After going 9-9 in regularseason conference play, they’ve done more than even Calhoun might have expected just three weeks ago.

After the Wildcats missed their final two shots, Walker and Calhoun wrapped each other in a bear hug at center court after the

buzzer as Emeka Okafor, Jake Voskuhl and other UConn alums celebrated on the court.

The two-time national champion coach has referred to his group as “an old-fashioned team,” a praise of their work ethic and resilience. But they also showed remarkable poise down the stretch in a building firmly in favor of the Wildcats.

“I definitely expected to play in the NCAA tournament and have a chance at the Final Four when I chose UConn,” Lamb said.

“I just didn’t know it would happen this fast.”

A year after Arizona’s 25year streak of NCAA tournament appearances ended, the Wildcats and second-year coach Sean Miller were one 3-pointer away from a return to the Final Four. Williams demolished Duke in the regional semifinals with a career high 32 points, but three early fouls limited him to 7 minutes in the first half against UConn.

Jesse Perry scored 14 points for Arizona, which

trailed 34-25 early in the second half before scoring nine straight points. The Wildcats reclaimed the lead with 14 1/2 minutes left on Williams’ layup, but UConn quickly scored seven consecutive points.

The Huskies led 50-41 until the Wildcats made a 12-2 run that included two rim-ripping dunks by Williams and the go-ahead slam by Perry with 7:17 left. With Honda Center rocking in Arizona red, Lamb smoothly put the Huskies ahead before following Alex Oriakhi’s putback layup with a steal and a dunk with 3:08 left for a seven-point lead.

UConn just keeps rolling in what has shaped up as a magnificent season after last year’s disappointing NIT trip. The Huskies roared through the league tour nament with an unprecedented display of endurance — five wins in five days — at Madison Square Garden.

“I only feel tired after everything is over,” Walker said. “When I’m playing, it’s no problem. I’m good.”

Laird builds two-shot lead at Bay Hill SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Martin Laird already had lost a four-shot lead Saturday at Bay Hill, and as his 6-iron on the par -3 17th began to fade weakly toward the pond, he wondered if a two-shot lead would disappear even quicker.

He was happy to see it land in the bunker, some 80 feet from the flag. Then came a long blast from the sand to 6 feet, and a par save that felt like a birdie.

It was like that all day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, only one thing didn’t change.

Laird never surrendered the lead.

The 28-year -old Scot made it through an upand-down day with a 2under 70 and had a twoshot lead over Spencer Levin.

“That was a big one,” Laird said of his par save on the 17th, one hole after a two-shot swing gave him a cushion. “I was lucky. I wasn’t sure if it was going to make it over the water, to be honest, when it was in the air. And I was lucky to make it over, and then that was a big up-anddown.”

Now comes the hard part.

Laird was at 11-under 205. This is the third time in his last 12 stroke-play events on the PGA Tour that he has been atop the leaderboard going into the final round, and the last two ended with someone else celebrating. At The Barclays, it was Matt

Kuchar hitting a 7-iron to 30 inches to beat him in a playof f. In Las Vegas, it was Jonathan Byrd making a hole-in-one to win a three-man playoff.

Levin, who had to scramble for bogey on the easy 16th to fall two shots behind, put his troubles behind him quickly and finished off a 71 to get into the final group.

That’s not to say it will be a two-man race.

With wind in the forecast, six players are separated by five shots. That includes two players who appear to be getting closer to their first PGA Tour win, Steve Marino and Rickie Fowler.

It does not include Tiger Woods.

The six-time Bay Hill winner had another Saturday swoon, trading an eagle and birdies with bogeys and a double bogey that sent him to a 2-over 74 and left him 10 shots out of the lead.

“Hopefully, the wind blows tomorrow and I can post a good one,” Woods said. “And I can get a little momentum going into Augusta.”

Others are simply trying to get there, starting with Levin. Nothing short of a victory would send him to the Masters.

“That’s in the back of my mind, for sure,” Levin said.

“That’s a nice thing to be thinking about — hopefully, try not to think about it, though. You have to think about what you’re doing here.”

his first PGA Tour win this year.

Fowler, dressed in hot pink that elicited cries of “Pretty Rickie” from a large, sun-baked gallery, overcame a double bogey on the sixth when he drove into the water and shot 70 to stay in the game at 6under 210, along with David Toms (69).

Woods started poorly, going from the left rough to the bunker and missing a 7-foot par putt on the opening hole. He had one stretch that went birdiebogey-eagle, and with the leaders getting away from him, went after the flag on the 13th and hit along the rocks. He wound up missing a 5-footer to take double bogey, then hit a fat shot from the bunker into the water on the 16th to make bogey.

He has yet to break 70 in the third round this year.

“I made a few mistakes out there,” Woods said.

“There was a point in the round I had to get more aggressive on 13 and paid the price for it. I figured I needed to shoot 3 or 4 under, and it backfired on me a little bit.”

He will complete a full year on tour without a victory. Sunday is his last round before the Masters.

Some others are simply trying to get to Magnolia Lane. Of the top 10 players on the leaderboard, four have yet to qualify. That includes Marc Leishman, who had a 66 to reach 5under 211. Also at 211, six shots behind, were John

Laird ran of f three straight birdies early in the round to build a four-shot lead. Four holes later, Levin pulled within one shot and they were tied for the lead with three holes to play.

That’s when it turned in the Scot’s favor.

Laird got up-and-down for birdie from just right of the green on the 16th, while Levin was in trouble from the start. He drove into the trees, chipped out into a bunker and then pulled his third shot into the water. He had to make a 6-foot putt to escape with bogey on the easiest hole at Bay Hill.

“I know tomorrow I have to concentrate hard ... and hopefully I’ll wind up on top,” Laird said.

He went to Augusta National to practice a few weeks ago and looks forward to the Masters. But that can wait. The winner at Bay Hill gets a trophy, a big paycheck and an audience with the King, tournament host Arnold Palmer.

“This is a pretty good tournament to win, too,” he said.

But there is much work ahead of him, especially if the gusts retur n to a course that already is demanding.

Bubba Watson, a winner already this year at Torrey Pines, holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th to finish off a 68. He was at 7-under 209, four shots behind. Also at 209 was Marino, who already has had two good chances at

Jiyai Shin looks over a putt during the third round of the LPGA Tour’s Kia Classic, Saturday.

Shin leads Kia Classic

INDUSTRY, Calif. (AP) — Second-ranked Jiyai Shin shot a 3-under 70 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Sandra Gal after the third round of the Kia Classic.

Shin, the South Korean star who has eight LPGA Tour victories, had a 15-under 204 total on the Industry Hills Golf Club course at Pacific Palms. Gal, from Germany, also shot a 70.

“I think the course is a good match with me,” Shin said.

“I can’t wait. Maybe it will be a really great day. I think so.”

South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi was third after a 65, the best score of the round.

“I changed my putt after the second round,” Choi said.

“My putter was cold. I couldn’t make it the last two days, so I changed the putter. I felt really good.”

Michelle Wie shot a 71, leaving in tie for eighth at 5 under. Returning to the tour after finishing finals at Stanford, Wie had five birdies and three bogeys in the round.

“I’ve really got to shoot light out,” Wie said about her chances in the final round. “I’ve got to make a lot of birdies and make no mistakes. Hopefully, I can do that.”

Gal returned to the course early to finish the final nine holes of the rain-delayed second round. She shot a 68 in the round to begin the third a stroke behind Shin.

“I know it was 27 holes, but to be honest I thought it was to my advantage to come out early and get a feel for the course and the conditions,” Gal said. “So, I didn’t quite mind it.”

In the third round, Gal birdied the first hole to tie for the lead, then pulled ahead on No. 2 when Shin made only her third bogey of the tournament. Gal made another birdie on the third hole and kept the lead until the back nine. Shin broke a tie with a two-stroke swing on the par3 15th, hitting her tee shot to 3 feet to set up a birdie. Gal bogeyed the hole.

Shin also birdied the 17th, but bogeyed 18 after hitting her drive into a pond.

“It was getting dark so I hurried myself a little bit,” Shin said about her drive on 18. “I missed on my timing and hit a big hook.”

Gal also birdied the 17th and finished with a par.

The tournament is the tour’s first in the Los Angeles area in six years.

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me While I am gone release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do.

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.

Be happy that we had so many beautiful years.

I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to

me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown.

But now it’s time I traveled on alone.

To grieve for me a while if grieve you must.

Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It’s only a while that we must part, To bless the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near.

And if you listen with your heart, You’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear, And then when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and say...

Making a difference

CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected, sexually molested or at-risk children in the legal system.

Chaves County CASA volunteers provide a powerful voice for abused, neglected children

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF CASA

The little girl in front of her had been in foster care for three years — an eternity for a child.

As Pat Coronado, then a Chaves County Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteer who is now the assistant director of Chaves County CASA, visited the girl’s foster home to say goodbye when the child was adopted by her new, permanent family, she was struck by how the girl’s life was about to change for the better, forever.

“The (foster father) brought out all of her possessions,” Coronado recalled. “They fit in two plastic grocery bags — the kind you get at Walmart. I was holding out my hand, like, ‘I can take more.” But everything she had fit in the two bags.”

Coronado later went to visit the little girl in her new home, where the little girl’s princess-themed pink bedroom closet was filled with clothes and toys. And, more importantly, the home itself was filled with the kind of love all children should experience.

“The biggest deal to me was when the girl said ‘Come meet my granny,’” Coronado said. “She’d never had a granny before. ... Foster care is safe, but it’s not permanent. This little girl got her permanent family.”

Whether the family’s 14-year -old ran away from home, the mom is addicted to meth and alcohol and doesn’t care whether her kids are hungry, or the elderly woman is taking care of her ill husband and can’t keep up with her preteen grandchildren who have started hanging out with the wrong crowd, CASA volunteers are dedicated to ensuring the needs and best interests of children who have been abused or neglected are met and that each child receives the services he or she needs.

Mary Colby, volunteer coordinator for Chaves County CASA, 500 N. Main St., Suite 300, in the Bank of America building, said the volunteers help heal families wounded by circumstances.

“Whatever the situation is, you’re working with a family in crisis,” Colby said. “You’re helping them mend and learn a new way of relating. ... You’re

CASA volunteers must fill out an application, have an interview with the volunteer coordinator and undergo a background check, then take 30 hours of training before being sworn in as volunteers.

giving them the tools they need to make it work. You go in wanting to help change these kids’ lives, but in the process, you change, too.”

CASA serves more than 1,400 children from birth through age 18 in Chaves County each year who have been abused, abandoned, neglected, sexually molested, at-risk or who are victims of domestic violence.

The CASA volunteers — ordinary people, of all backgrounds — serve a crucial role in helping determine the best interests of the children the organization serves, said Carrie-Leigh Cloutier, executive director of Chaves County CASA. “We’re all about the kids,” Cloutier said. “... Our volunteers are the eyes and ears of the judge.”

At any given time, CASA has an average of 40-45 volunteers, Cloutier said. But the organization could easily use another 45 volunteers, she added.

Volunteers, who are asked to make a one-year commitment to the organization and must maintain strict confidentiality, are rigorously vetted, she said.

“Our volunteers are very carefully screened and trained before being sworn in (as CASAs by the 5th Judicial District Court),” Cloutier said.

To become a CASA volunteer, a person must fill out an application, which is available on the CASA website at www.casakids.org. Cloutier said.

Applicants then meet with Colby

and undergo a “rigorous” background check, Cloutier said.

Contrary to common thought, people whose backgrounds include past drug use or who have a criminal record aren’t prohibited from becoming CASA volunteers, Cloutier said. As long as the volunteer is clean and sober and passes the background check, that volunteer can be a very valuable resource.

“Some of our best advocates have been former addicts,” Cloutier said.

“You can’t pull the wool over their eyes.”

Volunteers who pass the background check then must complete 30 hours of in-depth training on the court process, child development, abuse and neglect, cultural competency, advocacy, interviewing skills, HIV and other public health issues.

Training sessions are provided five times a year — twice in the spring and the fall and once in the summer.

The next training session will begin in April, Cloutier said.

Once trained, the new volunteers are sworn in. Most volunteers work one case at a time; the amount of time needed varies, but the scheduling is extremely flexible, Cloutier said.

“Most of our volunteers have fulltime jobs,” Cloutier said.

Volunteers are then assigned cases and conduct interviews to establish the facts of the case; they ultimately write a report stating their findings and make a recommendation for a permanent resolution of the case based on what would be in the child’s best interests.

The rewards of such volunteer work continue long after the case is resolved, Cloutier said.

“Some kids come back and visit their CASA volunteer year after year because they made their good life possible,” Cloutier said.

Colby agreed, adding she started as a volunteer in 1998 and finds the results of her work very satisfying.

“As a volunteer, I like the smiles and the hugs from the children we’ve helped in traumatic situations,” Colby said.

Financial secrets can dissolve couples’ trust

QUESTION: I keep a separate bank account for personal use — nothing nefarious or illegal, just the occasional impulse purchase. Here’s the thing, though: my wife doesn’t know about the account. Should I ’fess up?

JIM: Absolutely, positively, you should tell your wife! The concern is not so much that you’re spending money outside the family budget (although that’s certainly a consideration), but the damage that this sort of secrecy can do to your marriage.

Others have fallen into the same trap. In an online survey by Forbes and the National Endowment for Financial Education, about one in three Americans admitted lying to their spouse about money and another third said they were the ones who’d been deceived.

This “financial infidelity” took on many forms. The leading offenders either hid cash from their spouses, or covered up minor purchases and bills. But a significant number also said they hid major purchases, lied about their debt or earnings, and, yes, kept secret bank accounts.

Among those affected, 67 percent said the deception led to an argument, and 42 percent said it caused less trust in the relationship. More than a quarter said lies about money led to either a divorce or a separation.

Don’t let this happen to you. Your wife will likely be hurt when you tell her, but your honest confession might make the revelation less painful than if she were to “catch you in the act,” which would inevitably happen at some point. I implore you to see a pastor or marriage counselor and work through this issue together. It’s better to get things out in the open now rather than let the deception contin-

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

ue. Honesty and trust are the foundation of a healthy marriage. ** ** ** QUESTION: How much should I tell my fiance about my past? I realize that honesty and transparency are important in any relationship, but there are times when it can be harmful to “let it all hang out.” I don’t want to keep secrets, but neither do I want to cause hurt or damage. Where do I draw the line?

JULI: You’re absolutely right that there is danger in erring by both keeping secrets and telling too much detail.

I’m glad you’re asking this question while you’re engaged, before making a lifetime commitment to each other. While dating, people naturally present the best of themselves.

They talk about their victories and put their best foot forward. In the intimacy of marriage, however, everything will be revealed. All of your weaknesses and insecurities will be uncovered. Even if you never speak of them, wounds and choices from your past will impact your marriage. This unhindered intimacy is what makes marriage so great and

so threatening at the same time. Your engagement is the “in-between” period. It’s the time to reveal significant things from your past and aspects of your personality that you may not let most people see.

Your fiance should know about things like your financial situation, any sexual relationships from your past, abusive relationships and addictions you may struggle with. These can present some very scary conversations, wondering how he will respond. It may feel like you’re taking a step backward, but it’s actually a giant step toward true intimacy.

Your fiance’s response will show you a lot about his character and willingness to embrace all of you within the intimacy of marriage.

There’s a limit, however, to how much you share. The goal of sharing is to build trust. It takes discernment to know which details will build a foundation of trust and which will erode it. Your fiance may even ask for details that would be hurtful for him to know in the future. As you wade through these difficult waters, I highly recommend premarital counseling to help you develop that solid foundation of authenticity and love. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Inmates bake bread for NYC jail system

NEW YORK (AP) — Each morning, and again in the after noon, the blades of three bread-slicing machines are counted carefully. Only then does the bakery let workers go home — to their jail cells on Rikers Island.

Twenty inmates of one of the nation’s largest jail complexes are part of a team that bakes 36,000 loaves of bread a week to feed the city’s entire population behind bars — about 13,000 people. Employees in orange-and-whitestriped jumpsuits and surgical caps earn $31 a week churning out whole wheat bread. There’s not an apron in sight.

The prison bakers say they are learning skills that may keep them gainfully employed once they get out.

“I’m learning teamwork,” says prisoner Nikos Alexis, 24, as he walks off in black leather boots caked with flour. He’s serving a fourmonth sentence for possession of a forged instrument, according to correction records.

It’s a privilege to get this work assignment; only inmates already sentenced to one year or less in jail are considered. Most of the other Rikers residents are awaiting trial on charges including murder.

The bakers behind bars get up before dawn and climb into a van for the ride to the other side of the 413acre island in the East River between Queens and the Bronx.

Passing a double row of razor wire-topped fences, they enter the mammoth, single-story bakery around 6 a.m., guarded by correction officers with a captain and a deputy warden.

By the loading dock, a sign in the glass window of

Nikos Alexis loads fresh dough into a oven at the Rikers Island jail bakery on March 16 in New York. Alexis is part of a team of 20 inmates making $31 a week, baking 36,000 loaves of bread weekly to feed the nation's largest jail complex--about 13,000 men and women behind bars.

a supervisor’s office reads: “FAKE & BAKE” — a small try at making people smile in this grim community.

More than culinary discipline is needed in this kitchen — part of a jail system where arguments between inmates or with guards can erupt in a flash, resulting in stabbings and slashings. In December, a Rikers correction officer had part of his thumb bitten off by an inmate.

So far, the bakery itself remains violence-free.

But it’s a dynamic, noisy place. Dangers include fast-moving industrial machinery tagged with hands-off warning signs and blinking yellow lights.

The baking process starts in giant metal tubs where 1,600 pounds of dough is mixed for each batch — half white flour and half the darker one — and hoisted with a lift into

a machine that divides it into balls that are shaped and fed into cor n oiled pans.

The finished bread is stored in a walk-in refrigerator with the words “Fort Knox” whimsically chiseled into its steel door.

The soothing smell of warm, freshly baked bread drifts across the 11,000square-foot space, a labyrinth of white-coated metal machines mixing, shaping, baking, slicing and packing the loaves.

The men take turns at various stations, from mixing the flours in the tubs — “an awesome kind of combination,” says Alexis — to working the ovens.

The brows of three young men drip with sweat as they gently load 240 risen loaves into a giant oven — a sea of dough that emerges golden a half hour later.

In summer, with only fans whirring overhead, the air is hotter than the bread.

“Man, it gets hot — sometimes up to 120 degrees!” says Aubrey Simpson, the supervising baker and a civilian who was once an army officer in his native Guyana.

Above a conveyor belt is a sign in Gothic script that reads: “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.” And the Rikers bakery does — tens of thousands of wax-paperwrapped loaves that fill two storage rooms, ready to be trucked out.

The bakery’s products are not for sale to the public — even though prisoners agree it’s tasty enough to succeed outside the island.

“I would definitely give it a thumbs up and say it’s better than the bread I buy at the store,” says inmate Taiwan Taylor, 32.

tender, delicious Passover stew

JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The expansive nature of the Passover seder gathering can present a fantastic opportunity to use food to bring together the different elements that are part of each family’s history.

Since Jews have spread to all parts of the world, dishes that may be traditional at Passover for many families often take on regional characteristics that can make the meal downright exotic, says Jewish cooking expert Joan Nathan, author most recently of “Quiches, Kugels and Couscous.”

For instance, during her seder Nathan serves several varieties of haroset, a mixture of sweet fruits and nuts that is meant to symbolize the mortar used by Jewish slaves to build for their masters.

She always includes two versions of a traditional Eastern European haroset made of apples, walnuts, cinnamon and wine to celebrate her and her husband’s heritage. But then Nathan offers versions of the dish from other regions, such as a Venetian variation based on chestnut paste, dates, dried figs and nuts.

Nathan also always includes a course of gefilte fish, a minced fish quenelle, which she prepares from her mother-in-law’s family recipe.

When it comes to the main course, Nathan plans to include an Algerian-style beef cheek stew with cilantro and cumin that she discovered from a friend in Paris. One benefit of this exotic stew is that it is meant to be made a day ahead, then reheated. This not only improves flavor, but also frees up the host during dinner prep.

The low and slow cooking results in an incredibly tender meat with tons of flavor. It also is a particularly versatile recipe.

——— Beef cheek stew with cilantro and cumin Start to finish: 2 hours 15 minutes, plus overnight in the refrigerator (15 minutes active) Servings: 4 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 3 large yellow onions, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed 2 pounds beef cheeks, beef or veal shanks, beef stew meat, cut into 2 pieces 2 bay leaves Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon cumin 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped 2 cups chicken broth In a large skillet with a cover or a large Dutch oven over medium, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a plate and set aside.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add the meat and brown on all sides.

Return the onions and garlic to the pan. Stir in the bay leaves, salt, pepper, cumin and all but 2 tablespoons of the cilantro. Pour the chicken broth over the meat. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Remove the pan from the heat, let cool, then remove the meat with a slotted spoon and cut into 1inch cubes.

Return the meat to the pan, cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, remove any fat that has accumulated and reheat the stew over low. Serve topped with the reserved fresh cilantro.

Brown urges G-20 to seal ‘global growth pact’ Roswell Daily Record

BRUSSELS (AP) — Less than a week ahead of a meeting of the Group of 20 rich and developing nations in China, former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged the world’s most powerful economies to seal a “global growth pact” to fight unemployment.

Brown was joined on Saturday by other top economic policymakers in his call for a transformation of the G-20 to help it remain relevant in a global economy torn by clashing national interests — although their focus dif fered somewhat from his.

To tackle high unemployment in poor and rich nations and a lack of economic growth in Europe and the United States, politicians need to look beyond merely reducing deficits, Brown said.

“All around the world deficit reduction has become the big issue when actually it’s only one of the issues,” Brown told a panel in Brussels debating the relevance of the G-20. The panel also

included Pascal Lamy, the director general of the World Trade Organization, and World Bank President Robert Zoellick.

Brown said the G-20 was at a juncture that would decide whether it can deliver prosperity to poorer nations in the Middle East and North Africa as well as more established economies in America and Europe.

His comments come as tens of thousands of people were marching through the streets of London to protest austerity measures and political upheavals continue in Northern Africa and the Middle East triggered in part by huge youth unemployment.

They also come ahead of a meeting of G-20 central bank governors and cabinet ministers in Nanjing, China, on Thursday — convened by French President Nicolas Sarkozy — to discuss reform of the global monetary system. France has made such a reform one of the focal points of its yearlong presidency of the G20, along with reducing economic

imbalances and volatility in commodity prices.

While Brown said an overhaul of the monetary system was necessary, he chose to take a broader view.

“I cannot imagine that the world can solve the unemployment problem we’ve got without closer economic cooperation,” he told the panel, organized by the United States’ German Marshall Fund, a nonpartisan public policy group.

If China increases domestic consumption faster than expected, the U.S. manages to rebalance its own expansive consumption and investment patterns and Europe can overhaul its struggling economies, the global economy could grow about 4 percent faster by 2014, create 50 million jobs and pull some 100 million people out of poverty, Brown said citing a report by the International Monetary Fund.

But he cautioned that there was a lack of political will on the international level to compromise on domestic interests. “We are

Taylor estate will earn dollars from scents

Elizabeth Taylor holds a $100,000 special edition of her White Diamonds fragrance at a press conference in New York, Sept. 11, 1991.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elizabeth Taylor’s last acting job was about a decade ago, but her lucrative line of fragrances will likely keep her estate smelling great long after her passing.

Her per fume brand, White Diamonds, remains a best-seller, and combined with other brands Passion and Passion for Men, Taylor’s scents brought in an estimated $69 million at retail worldwide last year, according to tracking firm Euromonitor International.

While that’s down about a fifth compared to two years earlier, a wave of recollections and renewed interest in her movies could provide a shortterm boost to sales. Experts say anywhere from 4 to 15 percent of sales likely flows through to Taylor’s estate in the form of licensing royalties.

Taylor, who died Wednesday at age 79, actively promoted her brands.

But White Diamonds, introduced in 1991 has become so popular, with an estimated $61 million in sales, that it is considered to have crossed over from celebrity status to mainstream perfume.

“This is beyond just Elizabeth Taylor at this point,” said Michael Stone, the chief executive of brand licensing agency The Beanstalk Group. “That’s why I think the fragrance will survive her death.”

Cosmetics company Elizabeth Arden Inc. remains her exclusive fragrance partner with a license through October 2022, according to its annual report, and can renew the deal in 20year increments at its discretion.

Sunday, March 27, 2011

Celebrity beauty products endorsed by stars such as Taylor, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Usher made up 22 percent of the company’s $1.1 billion in revenue last year.

“Our best tribute to Elizabeth Taylor will be to continue the legacy of the brands she created and loved so much,” Elizabeth Arden CEO E. Scott Beattie said in a statement Wednesday. He noted that Taylor’s line is “one of the most successful brands in fragrance history.”

The NPD Group ranked White Diamonds the 45th-best seller in the U.S. last year compared to all fragrances, including stalwarts like Chanel No. 5.

It’s unclear what will become of her estate, and her lawyer Barbara Berkowitz did not respond to messages seeking comment. Publicist Sally Morrison declined to give details.

Brand experts said the executors of her estate may already be fielding calls about new licensing deals that seek to capitalize on her glamorous lifestyle and image.

“You can just go right down the line of these female celebrities that are fashion icons, that are brands,” said Mark Roesler, the chief executive of CMG Worldwide, a rights management company whose clients include the estates of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. “That’s certainly not going to die.”

Business News in Brief

Neb. orders ID rules for imported cattle

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Cattle and bison imported to Nebraska from the Yellowstone region of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming soon will face tougher identification requirements.

The state Department of Agriculture issued an importation order Friday that calls for those animals to be permanently marked so they can be traced back to the state of origin. The order takes effect April 1.

Brucellosis spreads to cattle from wildlife and can cause cows and bison to go into premature calving or abort their calves. Infected cows sometimes can become sterile. The disease has been persistent in the Yellowstone region, appearing recently in cattle in all three states.

The new Nebraska rule will require all sexually intact cattle and bison from 14 counties in the Yellowstone region to be given a unique identification number that will allow it to be traced to the state of origin. Imported animals from other parts of those states that aren’t sent directly to slaughter must bear a tag saying they’re not from that region.

Neb. Beef, Colo. company settle recall lawsuit

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Beef Ltd. has reached a settlement with a Colorado company over liability for a 2008 beef recall, according to an order filed late Friday in the federal case.

The Omaha-based processor sued Loveland, Colo.based Meyer Natural Foods LLC in January 2009, raising the question of which company should be held liable for the tainted meat. A trial had been set for next month.

Nebraska Beef recalled nearly 7 million pounds of beef in two separate recalls after its products were linked to at least 76 cases of E. coli illnesses. At least some of the recalled meat came from cattle that Meyer bought and sent to Nebraska Beef’s plant for processing from May through July 2008.

The judge’s order filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Omaha said attorneys for both companies notified the court the dispute was settled. Terms have not been disclosed, and the judge ordered both sides to file a motion to dismiss the case by April 25.

Ohio uranium plant lawsuit dismissed

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A large federal lawsuit filed in 1990 over alleged hazardous chemical contamination of an Ohio neighborhood by a former uraniumprocessing plant has been dismissed after a settlement was reached with some of the residents.

Attorney Gail Ford represented Divested Atomic Corp. and other operators of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, about 60 miles south of Columbus.

She says the undisclosed settlement was “substantially less” than the original $300 million lawsuit and didn’t include all the plaintiffs. She says the operators deny any wrongdoing or liability.

The Columbus Dispatch reports nearly 170 plaintiffs were involved in the settlement.

Louise Roselle, who represented neighbors of the plant, tells the newspaper her clients have waited two decades for a resolution and she’s glad they’ll get something.

Official arrested in India license scam

NEW DELHI (AP) — A government aviation official and three other people have been arrested in a widening investigation of corruption in awarding flying licenses to airline pilots, police said Saturday.

The four men were arrested Friday in New Delhi for their involvement in a flying school in the western Indian state of Rajasthan that had issued fake certificates of training flights flown by its students.

The four include an airline pilot and an official of India’s federal aviation authority, police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said.

Indian authorities investigating corruption in awarding aviation licenses have arrested four airline pilots with fake certificates in the past two weeks.

Kodak patent complaint revived

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A federal agency said Friday that it will review Eastman Kodak Co.’s highstakes patent-infringement claim against technology giants Apple Inc. and Research in Motion Ltd. The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., agreed to examine a judge’s finding in January that Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s BlackBerry don’t violate an image-preview patent the photography pioneer obtained in 2001.

The decision revives Kodak’s hopes of negotiating royalties worth $1 billion or more. The agency’s six commissioners will decide by May 23 whether to alter the initial determination by its chief administrative judge, Paul Luckern, or let it stand.

DEAR ABBY: My wife of 16 years, “Barb,” and I argue constantly. We can’t seem to agree on anything, have few common interests and don’t enjoy our time together. Our love life is nonexistent. We have gone to three marriage counselors and it has not helped. We now “get along” by avoiding each other.

I think it’s time we faced the fact that we’re never going to be happy together. When I bring this up with Barb, she gets angry and launches into the same old tirade, saying if I want a divorce I’ll have to get a lawyer.

Divorce will be difficult and costly enough without having to drag lawyers into it. I’d like us to agree that it’s time to split and use a mediator to work out the details. It will save us a lot of money and, hopefully, make the divorce less acrimonious.

I don’t understand why Barb wants to stay together when she’s so unhappy and we’re unable to make things better.

Eureka! And here’s another hint about labeling electronics, from Russ, via e-mail. He says: “I have dozens of plug-in battery chargers and power adaptors for my various phones, flashlights, etc. To keep tabs on them and avoid plugging in the wrong thing, I write the name of the device on the charger or adaptor with ‘puff’ paint, available in any crafts store. This lasts longer and won’t tear or fade like a paper label. For power cords that you can’t see easily, I color-code the device plug with different colors of electrical tape and a matching color on the device.

Japan disaster boosts interest in atomic tourism Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — Peek into a 320-foot blast crater in the Nevada desert or descend a Titan II missile silo in Arizona for a look at two of many “atomic tourism” sites around the world that offer history and sometimes lessons from the deadly aftermath of the nuclear age.

The crisis in Japan has boosted interest in nuclear-related museums and plants, once-secret Manhattan Project complexes and areas laid waste by disaster.

“Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a great interest in things nuclear in general, and specifically about the Japanese situation,” said Allan Palmer, executive director of the Atomic Testing Museum and Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation in Las Vegas.

Attendance was up 12 percent on a recent weekend at the museum, located minutes from the Strip that came into its own at the dawn of the Atomic Age. At the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in Albuquerque, N.M., attendance jumped about 20 percent on a recent weekend as work continued at the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors after the earthquake and tsunami wiped out power to northern Japan.

“Folks definitely want information about nuclear reactors and

nuclear radiation,” said Jeanette Miller, a spokeswoman for Albuquerque museum.

One of the museum’s docents, retired physicist Duane Hughes, said inquiring visitors aren’t jittery but seem confused about reports of the dangers in Japan.

The museum hosted a specialist to brief docents on what’s going on.

“We try to give people a balanced, factual, truthful response,” Hughes said. “I didn’t see anyone who is showing any emotional situations like, ‘Oh my God, the sky is falling.’”

Miller and other museum officials said spring break, along with special events like the NCAA basketball tournament in Tucson, Ariz., are contributing to increased foot traffic.

Other locations that played important roles in the development of nuclear technology stay busy for tours much of the year.

Elsewhere, the Japan disaster coincides with the expected start of government-sponsored tours of Chernobyl in Ukraine later in the spring. They’ll include a look at nearby Pripyat 25 years after the worst nuclear power plant accident in history turned it into a ghost town. Tours through private operators began about a year ago and can cost up to $250 per person.

Is a virtual tour more your thing? Traffic on nuclear engineer Joseph Gonyeau’s website, Nucleartourist.com, has skyrocketed. The site usually has about 94,000 unique visitors a month.

The number of visits in March is up 119 percent, he said.

“People are asking a lot more questions,” Gonyeau said. “This usually happens when problems occur at some plant.”

Some atomic tourism stops:

tour into a Titan II silo about 35 feet underground. Experience a simulated launch. Among special tours: Museum staff will lead you and a group on a desert hike to explore the ruins of a missile site virtually untouched since it was abandoned more than 20 years ago.

National Museum of Nuclear Science & History In Albuquerque, the museum — nuclearmuseum.org — spans the dawn of the Atomic Age through the Cold War to modern nuclear medicine. Covers the secret T rinity test in the New Mexico desert. Has planes, rockets and missiles on display outside. Features casings of Fat Man and Little Boy bombs — the types dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Trinity Test Site Site of first atomic bomb test on July 16, 1945, located on the

northern end of the White Sands Missile Range. The 19-kiloton explosion led to a quick end to the war in the Pacific and ushered in the Atomic Age. White Sands hosts two “open houses” on the Trinity site every year, in April and October. Tours are selfguided. This year’s dates are April 2 and Oct. 1.

Case managers advocate for patients C6 Sunday, March 27, 2011

FEATURE

Roswell Daily Record

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Medicine is not like it used to be.

Just take a glance at the ar my of specialists, approved providers, nonapproved providers, hospitals, medical equipment suppliers and care facilities to see how much the landscape is changing.

“The days of you knowing your doctor for 20-30 years is gone. It doesn’t exist,” says Linda Lunn, nursing services manager for Heritage Home Healthcare and former president of the New Mexico Rio Grande chapter of the Case Management Society of America. “You have to be cognizant of what’s happening in your condition so you can get the most of what resources are available.”

But knowing what the resources are and connecting you to them? That’s the job of a case manager, who local health care professionals say can work as part nurse, social worker and teacher for patients.

And though no one knows exactly how health care will look in 10 years, it’s possible or even likely their roles will expand as administra-

tors seek ef ficient and effective treatment.

Case managers advocate for patients with doctors, nurses, therapists, insurance companies, families and medical facilities, says Vicki Broshious, director of case management for Lovelace Women’s Hospital.

For example, Lunn says, some patients with lymphodema — a swelling of the limbs — and a case manager can arrange appointments and payments for specialists and physical therapists. Also, working with insurance companies can connect patients with leg wraps, which may cost $200 or more per month, to help rid their limbs of excess fluid.

Still, case managers don’t have any legal or medical authority.

“They can’t make anything happen if you don’t want it to,” says Paula Casey, director of Health Services for Presbyterian Health Plan.

“If you’re hospitalized, it’s a good idea to say, ‘Where’s my case manager?”’ Lunn says.

An insurance company also might offer plans cov-

ering case management beyond those in the hospital, and providers like home care services may have their own on hand.

Many case managers come to the profession with other clinical experience — as a doctor, registered nurse, physical therapist or social worker, Casey says.

Some are employed by hospitals, government agencies, home care providers and insurance companies.

Case managers represent one of the fastest-growing jobs in medicine, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which expects a 23 percent increase in the number of case managers in the work force by 2018 from 2008 levels.

Those estimates don’t take into account the Affordable Health Care Act. That law, with its emphasis on effective care and lowered readmission rates, could increase demand for case managers and their services, Broshious says.

“We’ve already seen referrals (from insurance companies, hospitals, doctors and patients) jump as we’re trying to manage health care costs,” Casey says.

According to a September article in the New England Journal of Medicine, the cost of caring for patients with case management care was 3.6 percent lower than for other patients, the savings coming mostly from a 10.1 percent lower rate of hospital admissions.

“What we want to make sure is that that patient is not coming back to the hospital,” Casey says.

Managers in hospitals are able to help patients discharge faster, Broshious says. This isn’t chasing patients out, but evaluating patients to see if their needs can be met with skilled nursing care, occupational therapy, physical therapy or other alternatives to a costly and intense critical care hospital, she says.

Good hospital case managers also fight discharges of patients who aren’t ready, Lunn says. Casey says this is because employers evaluate case managers on readmissions, or the number of patients who return to the hospital with a condition related to their first admission — such as a lung infection fol-

lowing a bout of pneumonia — in fewer than 30 days.

If people return to the hospital before then, it’s considered a failure, Broshious says.

It’s important to note case management systems as a whole, but not individual case managers, may be evaluated on the basis of how much money they save their employer, Lunn says.

Individuals are evaluated on the quality of their care.

Another part of case management is ensuring smooth transitions between levels of care, whether that means between units in a hospital, hospital to nursing care facility, or even hospital to home, Broshious says.

“We’re focused on filling in those gaps,” Casey says.

Logistical concer ns of going home are important, Lunn says. Even someone who just had hip replacement surgery can go home, but “what if you have five steps up to the landing with no handrails?”

In that case, Lunn says case managers get the patient access to enough physical therapy to be able to get up and down stairs.

Home case management also means ensuring patients receive medical equipment such as walkers or toilet-seat raisers as well as coordinating with nonmedical caregivers for older patients.

Patients can’t benefit from the resources unless they know how to use them, Casey says. If a doctor prescribes medicine, a case manager sees to it the patient understands what the medicine is for, how to take it and its side effects.

Case managers also are involved in preventive education like prenatal and presurgery classes at Lovelace Women’s Hospital to help patients understand what could go wrong with their health, how to identify it and prevent it, Broshious says.

Education also extends to patients with chronic disease, like helping patients with diabetes learn to understand how to monitor and control blood sugar and how to spot problems early, Casey says.

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A viable timber industry is needed to help the U.S. Forest Service deal in an economical way with bark beetle infestations that have been ravaging forests in the Rocky Mountain West, an official with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Robert Bonnie, a senior advisor to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, said Thursday that the Forest Service is relying on the timber companies to thin stands of unhealthy, crowded trees.

“The Forest Service is going to have to pay someone to do it, if they can’t sell that timber,” Bonnie told a receptive audience at a small-diameter log conference in northern Idaho, The Spokesman-Review reported. “We need forest management for the health of the landscape and the economic stability of rural communities.”

But officials say many rural communities have lost sawmills due to various reasons, including a sagging U.S. housing market.

John Konzen, county commissioner in Lincoln County, Mont., said a lack of sawmills there means trees cut on the Kootenai National Forest are trucked out of state for processing.

The nearest mill is at Moyie

Springs, he said.

The Forest Service last year pledged $54 million to fight bark beetles, which since the late 1990s have killed 5,550 square miles of lodgepole pine and spruce forest in the Rockies. The money is intended to thin trees to reduce wildfire danger near rural communities while restoring watershed health.

The beetles are blamed in Idaho for killing trees from Lolo Pass to Lookout Pass along the Idaho-Montana border.

The costs of thinning projects escalate if the Forest Service has to pay someone to do it rather than selling the timber, Bonnie said.

Conservation groups are starting to understand the role that timber companies have in keeping forests healthy, and taking part in collaboration efforts, he said. If fewer timber sales are delayed through legal action, mills have a steadier stream of timber from federal lands, Bonnie said.

That allows timber companies to continue operating and strengthen local communities, he said.

Jonathan Oppenheimer of the Idaho Conservation League said one of the main problems with attempting to log beetlekilled stands is that it’s not

profitable for timber companies.

“The fundamental core issue with pulling out beetle-killed timber is that it generally doesn’t pay its way out of the woods,” Oppenheimer told The Associated Press on Friday.

Conservation groups are looking at areas where collaboration is possible, he said.

“In general, we need a

multifaceted approach,” Oppenheimer said.

The destruction caused by beetles also extends farther south down the Rockies.

A recent aerial survey by the U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service showed the epidemic has spread across 4 million acres of trees in Colorado and Wyoming, devastating entire forests in Col-

orado’s Summit, Grand and Eagle counties.

There’s some indication that the timber industry is responding.

A Utah company plans recently announced that it intends to operate a sawmill in Encampment, Wyo. — a small town near the Colorado border — to process beetle-killed trees from the Medicine Bow National Forest.

Thompson Logging of Kamas, Utah, said it expects to employ 15 to 18 people by mid-April at the sawmill, The Rawlins (Wyo.) Daily Times reported this month.

Company President Terry Thompson said he expects to be able to operate for years in the area because of the massive amount of beetle-killed timber.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — National Public Radio and The Associated Press have won top honors in the 77th annual National Headliner Awards.

The Las Vegas Sun newspaper and CBS5-TV in San Francisco also were among winners of the four “Best in Show” awards in the national journalism contest run by The Press Club of Atlantic City, N.J. NPR won the radio award for its “Confidential Informants” piece by Carrie Kahn, Philip Bruce and Marisa Penaloza. AP photographer Ramon Espinosa won for his work covering the Haiti earthquake.

The Sun won for its “Do No Harm: Hospital Care in Las Vegas” project reported

by Marshall Allen, Alex Richards and other staff.

The TV station won for “Vietnam Revisited” by Thuy Vu, Vince Garrido and Greg Marasso.

The Headliner Awards, first handed out in 1934, are one of journalism’s oldest competitions. Each of

the “Best in Show” awards announced this week comes with a $1,500 prize.

In the print division, judges cited the Las Vegas Sun for its series that revealed how patients are infected or injured while hospitalized in the city. The stories — which represented more than two years of reporting — were based on a review of 2.9 million patient-billing records that had been turned over by hospitals to the state for analysis but which had gone unexamined until the Sun obtained them.

In the broadcast division, NPR was cited for an indepth look at confidential informants and how they operate in a mostly secret, largely unregulated world.

Its work focused on a Mexican informant who infiltrated a top drug cartel in the border city of Juarez.

KCBS won for its story in which Vu returned to her homeland of Vietnam to take an in-depth look at the impact of Agent Orange.

Ken Burns: New film fits into civility discourse

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns is bringing his new film “Prohibition” to the National Constitution Center in the hopes of promoting more civil national discourse.

Bur ns, who has won acclaim for documentaries including “The Civil War” and “Baseball,” said at a news conference Friday that highlights from his new 5 1/2-hour, three-part series, premiering this fall on PBS, will kick of f a forum called “Civility and Democracy in America.”

The forum at the Constitution Center, a museum dedicated to explaining the U.S. Constitution, will include a series of group discussions over the weekend and a large town hallstyle exchange that will be taped for a future broadcast.

The Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people and critically injured U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gif fords has stoked public debate about the potential har m of inflammatory political rhetoric.

Many lawmakers have called on their colleagues to tone down the vitriol, and for mer Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton — a Republican and a Democrat — announced shortly after the Arizona shooting that they would be honorary co-chair men of a new national institute to promote civility in political discourse.

At the Philadelphia event, not for mally connected to the ex-presidents’ initiative, about 50 panelists with back-

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns speaks to reporters during a news conference Friday at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Burns' and Lynn Novick’s upcoming documentary film series Prohibition is scheduled to premiere this fall on public television.

grounds in history, ethics, media, religion, politics and business will take part in sessions on civility and come up with ideas to continue the discussions with similar events around the country in coming months.

“We find ourselves ... so preoccupied with identifying the divisions among each other that we forget to get the things done that we have to get done,” Bur ns said. “We distinguish red state-blue state, black-white, young-old, male-female, gay-straight, east-west, north-south,

and forget to select the thing we have in common, which is that we are all Americans.”

Panelists will include high school teachers, college professors, religious leaders and public television executives. Among those slated to attend are former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo, now a law professor at Berkeley, who was involved in drafting memos on the legal limits of harsh interrogation methods used in questioning terrorist suspects during the Bush

administration.

Other people planning to attend are for mer New York Times public editor Daniel Okrent, tea party activist Keli Carender and Jim Leach, a former Iowa congressman who chairs the National Endowment for the Humanities who currently lectures on the value of disagreeing without being disagreeable.

“Civility and democracy could not be more timely issues, and this conference could not have come at a better time,” Constitution Center president and CEO

David Eisner said. “Dissent has a way of straying from civility and civil disobedience into everything from mudslinging to violence and in some cases even to civil war.”

Burns said the current national climate has many similarities to the Prohibition era: single-issue political campaigns that “metastasized” and produced unintended consequences, as well as the demonization of immigrants, unfunded mandates, smear campaigns against politicians, and a

population that felt it had lost touch with its country and wanted to take it back.

Such struggles “speak as much to our period now as it does to the 13 years in which we were possessed by the fever to ban alcohol on this continent,” he said.

The past should teach us that failing to confront passionate issues with civility means our discourse and our democracy suffers.

“History is still a table around which we can all agree to have a civil conversation,” he said. “Quite often if we’re talking about a contemporary argument, whatever it might be ... abortion or taxation or unions or funding for public broadcasting, we tend to lose our balance.”

Filmmaker Lynn Novick, longtime collaborator on many of Burns’ films, said the conference will touch upon ideas that coincide with “the essence of what the film is about — what happens when we don’t talk and we just yell and we don’t listen.”

“You end up with laws and policies that don’t make any sense and then you can’t find a way out of it, and that’s what happened with Prohibition,” she said. “It went on for a very long time because once the two sides were set, there was no room for conversation about, ’This isn’t working, how can we fix it, what should we do?”

“None of that happened for quite a long time,” He said. “It broke down the respect for law and law enforcement, corruption was pervasive. ... It was a corrosive problem.”

Aretha Franklin dances, sings at 69th birthday party

NEW YORK (AP) — Aretha Franklin proved her voice is still divine at 69 as she gave a brief but rousing performance at a swank birthday party in her honor.

Tony Bennett, Smokey Robinson, music mogul Clive Davis, Bette Midler and Gayle King were among the celebrities on hand to pay tribute to the Queen of Soul on Friday night at a late-night birthday party at a Central Park hotel.

“It’s a fabulous moment,” said Franklin, showing off her noticeably thinner frame in a flowing white and gold gown as she

sat at a table with several gifts.

Bennett, who called Franklin “one of a kind” was one of those who came with a present — and his was unique.

“I also paint, so she knows about that,” he said. “A long time ago, she said, ‘I’d love to have you do a painting of me,’ and I remembered that, and when I heard I was coming here, I just knocked off a quick sketch tonight and gave it to her tonight.”

More than 100 friends and family gathered to celebrate Franklin, who just a few

months ago underwent surgery for an ailment she has declined to disclose. In recent weeks, she’s made more public appearances and is set to resume her stage performances in May. At the party, Franklin seemed full of energy, greeting guests and dancing to the music.

Franklin wasn’t billed as the evening’s entertainment. Instead, she had other acclaimed musicians on hand to perform for her: jazz musician Roy Ayers, singer Nnenna Freelon, and Tito Puente Jr. all gave mini-concerts at the soiree.

But after former Temptations frontman Dennis Edwards serenaded her with a couple of riveting songs, she joined him and they both sang “The Way We Were.”

Afterward, Edwards and the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Franklin, and she cut her birthday cake.

The Detroit native planned to stay in New York for at least a day more, but don’t expect much more celebrating for Franklin.

“I will be in a horizontal position tomorrow, all day!” she said.

A Depression-era comedy is revived with affection NEW YORK (AP) — You could do worse on a cold and dreary Manhattan night — and there have been lots of those lately — than warm up with a little horse betting.

Which is just what audiences are doing at curtain time each night at the of f-Broadway’s Samuel Beckett Theatre, where the Depression-era comedy “Three Men on a Horse” is being revived with affection and care

by TACT/The Actors Company Theatre.

Of course, the horses — with clever names like Horse Radish or I Need Da Money — are fictional. But it’s a sweet way to get the audience into the mood for a screwball comedy: Old-style bookies circulate among us, recording our picks. Cutouts of horses and their jockeys then race across the top of the stage.

(Your reviewer, along with other Horse Radish fans, won 100 bucks in play money.)

It hasn’t been a bad few weeks for George Abbott, the prolific playwright, producer and director who died in 1995 at the age of 107, following a 70-year career. The revival of his “Where’s Charley?” drew stellar reviews at City Center, and now this little chestnut is having its moment.

To be fair, Abbott, famous for major shows like “The Pajama Game“ and “Pal Joey,” wasn’t the main writer — that was actor John Cecil Holm. Abbott came in to rewrite and direct.

The show opened in 1935 and ran for 835 performances.

Given the era, money troubles are naturally never far from anyone’s mind in this amusing little play, acted with verve and

charm throughout, though occasionally crossing that fine line between capturing the period and veering into caricature.

Erwin Trowbridge is a mousy suburban husband in New Jersey who adores his wife and detests his boorish brother-inlaw. He brings in a paltry salary writing verse for a greeting card company. But he has a secret talent.

Erwin is a whiz, it turns out, at studying and picking winning horses. He never bets, just picks ‘em for fun on the bus home. It’s all harmless, until the day a trio of down-on-their-luck gangsters discover his talent. Naturally, they’ll seek to make him an offer he can’t refuse.

As Erwin, Geoffrey Molloy is entertaining but sometimes over-the-top in his mousiness.

The acting is at its best in the gangster scenes, especially when the ringleader’s girlfriend, Mabel, is around. A blonde former showgirl — with a heart of gold, of course — she’s played with endearing zaniness and lovely comic timing by Julianna Zinkel.

Gregory Salata is fun as ringleader Patsy, her bumbling and sometimes brutish boyfriend, but it is Don Burroughs, as underling Frankie, who best captures the screwball mood, with one after another exaggerated but priceless facial expression.

At the end of Act 2 — there are three, but director Scott Alan Evans does an excellent job keeping it all moving — we meet Mr. Carver, Erwin’s boss, a hysterical bundle of nerves played to the hilt by James Murtaugh.

Is the greeting-card business

really that stressful? Good to know.

Key assets are the astute period costumes by Martha Hally, and the clever set by Brett J.

Banakis, which switches easily between suburban living room, barroom and hotel room.

It all adds up to a pleasantly entertaining couple of hours

back in the ‘30s — and you may even get to take some prize winnings home to the kids.

“Three Men on a Horse” runs through April 16.

Power plays could define meetings and dealings in general. What people don’t realize is that if you want to have it YOUR HOROSCOPE your way, you could and would.

RFP-11-008 Services

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your knowledge benefits someone more than you think. An associate, co-worker or friend could be trying to get more feedback. If you feel uncomfortable, say so, and establish your boundaries. There is nothing wrong with that. Tonight: Togetherness works.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can juggle a lot more than most people and keep everyone happy. You will have to demonstrate this ability now. However, new information and an inquiry could force your mind to drift. Perhaps the need to escape a conversation takes priority. Tonight: Catch up on news.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will focus on what you do best. Many people are distracted. You also realize the discipline of handling your assets well — be it money or effort.

Avoid making judgments about others. Tonight: Pick up what you want. You deserve a treat.

Start handling an issue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are flying high and full of energy. Unexpected developments impact your creativity. A child or loved one could be the source of the issue.

Avoid being overly challenging with a difficult friend. Relax.

You can only do so much. Tonight: What suits your fancy?

You see an acting out of mixed signals. Kindly help this person integrate. Tonight: Indulge.

Go for a novel approach to this problem. Tonight: Detach from today, trusting that you will find the answer.
