NTSB investigating fatal train crash near Midway

By Jared Tucker Multimedia Journalist One railroad employee is dead and another is injured after the train they were operating collided with a second, unoccupied train Tuesday morning near Midway.

According to the New Mexico State Police, the collision happened along State Road 2 between Darby and Orchard Park Roads around 6:15 a.m.

A press release from NMSP Public Information Officer Elizabeth Armijo lists 48-year-old Jesse Coburn III, of Texico, as the victim who was pronounced dead at the scene by the Office of the Medical Investigator.

“The second crew mem-

ber was transported to Lubbock, Texas, for medical treatment and is listed in stable condition,” Armijo said.

The train was traveling from Clovis to Carlsbad when it collided with an unoccupied stationary train head-on, derailing six locomotives and three freight cars, Armijo said.

Hazardous materials crews from area fire departments responded to contain spilled diesel fuel from the locomotives, and to remove any remaining fuel in the tanks of the engines, Armijo said.

The rail line’s operator, Southwestern Railroad, is mourning the loss of their employee.

“Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Coburn. This

is definitely a tough day for us,” SWR Spokesman Bruce Carswell said, adding the train was carrying a variety of different cargo-none that was hazardous materials.

Local law enforcement had closed State Road 2 between Darby and Orchard Park Roads while the National Transportation Safety Board investigates why two trains were on the same track.

“Southwestern Railroad will be cooperating fully with that investigation,” Carswell said.

Carswell said locomotives are required to have aircraft-similar black boxes that record various information about the the locomotives. That information, along with any available

has occurred on that particular line since the company took it over in 2004.

“Not all locomotives have

dash cameras installed,” he said.

Police have closed State Road 2 at Darby Road and also at Orchard Park Road and ask motorists to seek alternate routes. A crew from the NTSB has arrived in Roswell Tuesday afternoon to begin the investigation.

Investigators have not determined how fast the train was traveling.

Roswell man sentenced to City Council plans to hear 8 years for manslaughter funding requests Thursday

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

A Roswell man who admitted shooting a man outside a Roswell bar in October 2013 told family members he was sorry for the killing before he was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison.

Family members of the victim told Christopher M. Trujillo their lives will never be the same, and that the victim’s young sons will forever miss their father.

Trujillo, 26, was scheduled to trial Tuesday on murder and other charges. However, he entered into a plea agreement this week, which Fifth Judicial District Judge Freddie Romero accepted Tuesday after emotional testimony from the family of the victim, Victor Oaxaca Jr. Trujillo was sentenced by Romero to six years in prison, followed by two years of parole, on a charge of voluntary manslaughter. The charge was enhanced by one year since Trujillo is a habitual offender and enhanced by another year because Trujillo is a prior felon.

Trujillo Romero also sentenced Trujillo to 18 months in prison, followed by one year of parole, on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Romero ordered the sentences to run concurrently, with Trujillo receiving credit for 540 days served in jail following his arrest.

The judge noted Trujillo is only eligible for a maximum of four days of good time per month while in prison, because the voluntary manslaughter conviction is a mandatory serious violent offense.

Authorities said Trujillo shot

Oaxaca, 25, at around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2013, outside Variety Liquor and Lounge at 1100 W. Second St. in Roswell.

In the criminal complaint, detectives reported talking to nearly 20 people during the course of the investigation, including bar patrons, staff, family members and friends of both the victim and Trujillo.

No one reported actually witnessing the shooting, but many said they heard the sound of gunfire, bangs or loud knocks.

Court documents state a large amount of blood was found at the scene, as well as shell casings and track marks, indicating a vehicle left at a high speed.

Officials went to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, where Oaxaca was taken after sustaining two gunshot wounds. He died of his injuries at the hospital.

Detectives linked Trujillo to the shooting, which was caught on surveillance video.

After a warrant for his arrest

By Jeff Jackson Record City Editor A bevy of funding requests are going before the Roswell City Council at meeting Thursday.

Among the items on the full agenda, the council will consider requests for $86,000 from MainStreet Roswell, $78,750 for the New Mexico Senior Olympics and $51,000 for the Cosmicon and Film Fest, all three organizations that are planning large community events this year.

In addition, all three budget amendments would come out of the city’s lodgers tax fund. Although previously approved, the items need council action again so the record reflects the funds came from the 2015 fiscal year budget, Finance Director Monica Garcia said.

Approval of the requests a second time is a formality, Garcia added.

MainStreet Roswell will hold the 21st annual UFO Festival July 2-5, the state Senior Olympics and 30 selected events are planned for June 3-6, and the Cosmicon Film Fest is schedule for July 2-4 at the Roswell Mall.

Several other funding requests are on Thursday’s meeting agenda, including $428,700 from Dean Baldwin Painting for a hangar project at the Roswell International Air Center. Those funds relate to an existing project funded from 2011 from a community development block grant coffer and matching funds totaling $1.9 million.

The current request is to provide money for Stoven Construction to complete the work in June. The CDBG expires in August.

Also scheduled for the council’s consideration are requests of: • $114,000 from the Roswell Chaves County Economic Development

Corp. The EDC is hoping to move from its quarters inside the Chamber of Commerce on Second Street to a nearby office downtown, according a memo from Robert G. Armstrong of the EDC board of directors.

• $65,000 from the general fund for building renovation at the Air Center-based Youth Challenge Project.

• $2,000 from the 2015 Bottomless Triathlon organizers. The 32nd annual event is scheduled for July 11 at Bottomless Lakes State Park.

• $1,500 from organizers of the Roswell 3v3 soccer tournament. The nighttime function is planned for July 10-11 at Cielo Grande Park. The tournament features teams in age groups from 5 years old to adult level.

Youngsters learn valuable leadership skills in 4-H programs

By Dylanne Petros Record Staff Writer

If kids want to become leaders, the place to turn to learn skills of leadership, sportsmanship and public speaking among other life skills would be 4-H of Chaves County.

4-H, which stands for Head, Heart, Health and Hands is open to kids ages 5-18 and is a program with educational activities and competitions to teach kids how to be caring, capable

and competent, said Andrea Sapp, the 4-H extension agent for Chaves County.

There are four different groups for kids of different ages.

Children ages 5-8 are placed in the Cloverbuds program, which is a sort of introduction to everything 4-H offers, Sapp said. Children ages 9-11 are in the Novice program while teens 12-13 are in the Junior program. The senior program is for kids ages 14-18.

This year there are 286 members and 110 volunteers, she said.

“4-H could not be run without our volunteers,” Sapp said.

The volunteers are in charge of running the different clubs, which are placed in Roswell, Hagerman and Midway.

Three rivers and lots of rocks

Timothy P. Howsare

Editor Timothy P. Howsare visited the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site over the weekend. Located off U.S. 54 between Carrizozo and Tularosa, the site is one of the few locations in the Southwest set aside solely because of its rock art. The number and concentration of petroglyphs makes it one of the largest and most interesting petroglyphs sites in the Southwest.

More than 21,000 glyphs of birds, humans, animals, fish, insects and plants, as well as numerous geometric and abstract designs are scattered over 50 acres of New Mexico’s northern Chihuahuan Desert. The petroglyphs at Three Rivers, dating back to between about 900 and 1400 AD, were created by Jornada Mogollon people who used stone tools to remove the dark patina on the exterior of the rock.

Pirtle reappointed to interim committees Staff Report

State Sen. Cliff Pirtle has been reappointed to serve as a voting member on three legislative committees when the state Legislature is not in session.

Pirtle, R-Roswell, was also appointed as an advisory member on one additional interim committee.

was issued, Trujillo turned himself in to the police department in Dumas, Texas, in the last week of October. He was arrested on charges of probation violations and returned to Roswell.

Security was heavy Tuesday afternoon in the district courtroom in Roswell, where about a dozen of Trujillo’s family members sat on one side of the aisle and about a half-dozen of Oaxaca’s family members sat on the other side. At one point in the proceeding, the judge told a family member or friend of Trujillo’s she must either take the matter seriously or exit the courtroom.

Emotions were high after Oaxaca’s mother and wife testified prior to sentencing.

Oaxaca’s mother, Martha Lazcano Oaxaca, said Victor

of Representatives and other state lawmakers, made the appointments this week in Santa Fe. Pirtle was reappointed to serve as a voting member on the Public School Capital Outlay Oversight Task Force, Indian Affairs Committee and the Water and Natural Resources Committee.

Pirtle, first elected to a fouryear term in the Senate in 2012 after he defeated Senate majority whip and 34-year incumbent Democrat state

Sen. Tim Jennings, was also reappointed as an advisory member to the Legislative Council.

Between legislative sessions that convene every January for either 30 or 60 days, the House and Senate interim committees examine the effectiveness of state government, including the operations of all of its departments and agencies. The interim committees also consider proposed legislation for endorsement.

When the Legislature is in

session, Pirtle serves on the Senate Rules and Senate Indian Affairs Committee.

Pirtle represents Senate District 32, which includes Roswell, Artesia, Dexter, Hagerman, Lake Arthur and Mescalero in Chaves, Eddy and Otero counties.

There are currently 18 Republicans and 24 Democrats in the 42-member Senate.

Pirtle, raised in Roswell, is a farmer and he has worked at Pirtle Farms for 12 years.

Oaxaca’s two children have to hug their father’s headstone, whereas Trujillo’s children will someday be able to hug their father when he is out of prison.

“All this changed our lives,” she said. “My grandkids were everything for him. They ask me, ‘Why did this happen grandma?’ I tell them I really don’t know. There’s no answers for that.”

Martha Lazcano Oaxaca said it’s not fair her grandchildren, now 2 and 7 years old, will never see their father, while Trujillo should be out of prison in fewer than seven years. She said her 2-year-old grandson kisses a cell phone photo of his father in his coffin.

“It’s never going to be fair,” she said. “My life’s changed.

(My son) always said, ‘Mom, look after my kids.’ That’s what I’m trying to do. It’s not fair.

That’s not fair for a 2-year-old.”

Trujillo, shackled and handcuffed in a jail jumpsuit, looked

down at the defendant’s table while she spoke.

Victor Oaxaca’s wife, Amanda Oaxaca, spoke directly to Trujillo when she testified prior to sentencing.

“Life’s all about decisions,” Amanda Oaxaca said.

“Chris, you made your choices. You made a choice to take a father from his kids, a son from a mother. You took my husband. You took our world from us.”

Amanda Oaxaca said her 7-year-old son has resentment toward his father’s killer.

“I want to thank you for putting that anger in his heart because now I have to deal

with it,” she said. “It’s not right for a 7-year-old to have that anger in his heart.”

Trujillo continued to look down, without making eye contact with the victim’s family.

“I pray and hope that your beautiful baby girl never experiences this,” Amanda Oaxaca continued. “Now I have to be the mom and dad. You know how hard that is on me? It’s hard. I don’t know how to be a dad.”

Deputy District Attorney Matthew Stone said although the plea agreement reached was not what the victim’s fam-

ily desired, it was what he and Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Murphy thought was best.

“Mr. Murphy and I thought it was warranted by the circumstances of the case,” Stone told the judge.

Public defender Jesse Cosby presented Romero with several letters from family and friends of Trujillo, all of which Romero read methodically prior to sentencing.

Cosby said he agreed that Trujillo’s sentences should run concurrently, as opposed to consecutively.

“My client has a family himself,” Cosby told the judge.

Cosby said Trujillo and Oaxaca had on ongoing dispute after a drive-by shooting at Oaxaca’s home about a week before the killing. Cosby said Oaxaca believed Trujillo had been involved in the drive-by shooting and Oaxaca made retaliatory threats to Trujillo.

Cosby said four .40-caliber shots were fired outside the bar, two of which hit Trujillo and two of which missed.

Cosby conceded the bullets hit Trujillo in his back and in the back of his thigh.

Cosby said Trujillo was

Oaxaca threatened by Oaxaca and retrieved the handgun that had been in the car in which he rode to the bar.

“That’s the nature of why we pled this case,” Cosby said, adding Trujillo would likely serve 84 percent of his sentence, minus credit for time served. “The physical evidence would have been difficult at trial. The state also had difficulties because no one saw the shooter. So this plea is a giveand-take situation.”

Cosby said Oaxaca had tattoos consistent with gang membership in Chicago and that Trujillo had a close family member murdered.

“I don’t know why the Hispanic community seems to be taking things out on each other,” Cosby said. “I don’t know. I know it’s way too

common. I hope the families can bury their feelings of hate or loss and that they can let things be, other than what has already been done.”

Trujillo was the last person to speak before sentencing was pronounced.

“From the deepest part of my heart, I am sorry,” Trujillo told the judge and Oaxaca family.

“I live everyday with the weight on my heart from my actions. I took the plea because I feel like I deserve to suffer the consequences on my actions.”

Trujillo said he has three daughters himself. He said he walked out of Variety Liquor and Lounge and was accosted

by Oaxaca.

“I did not commit the crime that happened in front of his home,” Trujillo said of the driveby shooting.

Trujillo said during the confrontation Oaxaca had something black in his hand, resembling a handgun, so he retrieved the handgun.

“I never meant to take his life,” Trujillo said. “He pursued me out of the bar.”

Despite the confrontation, Trujillo reiterated his remorse.

“I really do walk with a chip on my shoulder for what happened,” Trujillo said. “I never meant to take somebody’s family member. I just pray to God the Oaxaca family will find in

their heart to forgive me and forget the actions that took place that night.”

Romero said he’s seen far too much Hispanic-on-Hispanic crime in his courtroom.

“We seem to have some issue in Roswell of families taking from each other, of families losing loved ones,” the judge said.

Romero told both families they have a responsibility to end the enmity.

“This has got to stop,” Romero said. “It can’t go on. It just can’t. Please, stop.”

Oaxaca attended Goddard High School and was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Roswell.

kids who are in 4-H,” Sapp said.

The clubs meet to do community service projects. Each club is one level and the clubs usually do one project a year along with projects with other clubs so the kids can learn how to work with people of different ages, she said.

“Chaves County is a pretty big county. There’s a lot of kids.

If we just had one big meeting everyone would be separated,” Sapp said. “By having these smaller clubs it allows them to feel like they’re a part of something.”

Every year Sapp said 4-H kids have to do a demonstration so they can practice public speaking in front of their clubs.

“It gets them in front of other people to try and build those skills they will use later in life,” she said.

On top of doing a demonstration in front of their club, kids have to pick a project to do throughout the year. Sapp said there are more than 200 different projects for kids to choose from ranging from home economics to agriculture.

“We hope to teach responsibility,” Sapp said.

When students do their projects, they have to keep a financial log for supplies purchased and it is recommended they keep record books, she said.

The record books are used to keep track of the progress on projects throughout the year and financial recordings.

“They’re having to write their

story, what they did that year, so it’s teaching them communication skills,” Sapp said.

The students who did record books are rewarded during the judging process in November, she said.

“For every project they turn in, in their record book, they actually get a $10 giftcard,” Sapp said.

The record books are a good tool for graduating seniors, she said, because seniors can submit a record book with their two best projects and potentially receive a scholarship for college.

“It’s very beneficial for them to do these,” she said.

The kids in 4-H are getting ready for a busy summer as 4-H cranks up the projects during the summer.

“We have judging practices for them and try to get them into their projects so that they can get ready for fairs,” Sapp said.

4-H participates in the Chaves County 4-H and FFA Fair, the state fair and the Eastern New Mexico State Fair.

“This is where all the projects they have worked on during the year (are) turned in and get judged,” Sapp said. “They get ribbons, they get money for the projects they have worked so hard on.”

Each 4-H year is Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. Kids interested in becoming a 4-H member or people interested in becoming volunteers can call the Chaves County Extension Office at 622-3210.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Another signpost on the road to destruction

When future historians analyze the decline of America they need look no further than the trivialities increasingly occupying our time and concerns instead of substantive matters seriously threatening our existence.

The latest in a long list of examples is the two-hour ABC special last Friday devoted to former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner and his coming out as a transgender person. Two hours! Neither ABC, nor any other media giant, has paid that much attention to international threats from Russia, China and the rapid rise of Islamic fanaticism, not to mention the Bill and Hillary Clinton financial empire.

What is wrong with us? This constant feeding of our lower nature and fixation on what not long ago was regarded as bizarre, even perverted, is contributing to a warped culture and the devaluing of the qualities necessary to stabilize society. It is as if a lid has been lifted from the sewer and all the

Cal Thomas

Syndicated Columnist waste is now flooding the streets, posing a threat to our national well-being.

In his forthcoming book “1920: The Year That Made the Decade Roar,” Eric Burns writes that the mass media, birthed in that year by the spread of radio, is largely responsible for diverting our attention from things that matter to things that don’t.

This passage from the introduction fixes the blame: “It began with radio, whose allies quickly became the newspapers with their tabloid value systems -- and, in massing, the two media would form the most persuasive and pervasive of

all American industries, as they went about making far too much of matters ever less consequential, the private lives of actors and singers, musicians and authors, comedians and athletes, heirs and heiresses, perpetrators and victims, millionaires and billionaires, and, later, disgraced public officials, pitchmen and anchormen, radio and TV talkers, sitcom stars, drama stars, game show hosts, chefs, bloggers, Internet jesters, and even carefully chosen nonentities, some of whom would headline their own sublimely unrealistic ‘reality’ shows.”

Interest in the lower things is nothing new. As Burns wrote in an earlier book, “Infamous Scribblers,” Colonial journalism spread rumors and falsehoods that today might bring libel suits. The difference is that those rags were largely limited to the areas in which they were published. Mass media changed all that.

From Burns’ “1920” book: “Further (the mass media) would report

murders, robberies, fires, automobile accidents — these and more aberrations as if they were common occurrences. The mass media would make so much of them all that eventually a tidal wave of irrelevance would wash over the United State, and by late in the twentieth century the entire American lifestyle, the entire code of behavior and range of ambitions, would be unrecognizable from what it had been in the nineteenth.”

The result has been: “The country would have achieved the un-achievable — the dumbing-down of its audiences as they sank into vapidity with gleeful abandon, as delighted with their plight as if they were riding the newest attraction in an amusement park.”

All of this, followed by today’s social media, writes Burns, “would transform the most powerful country on earth in its military and manufacturing might to a thirdworld nation in its tastes and values. So it is today; so it gives every

sign of remaining.”

Need more evidence? FYI, a digital cable and satellite television network owned by A-and-E Networks, is producing a program called “Seven Year Switch” on which married couples change partners in order to “save” their marriages.

Focusing on our lower nature instead of higher things gets you more expressions of the former and less of the latter. Failed nations usually rot morally from within before they are conquered by invading armies, or collapse under the weight of their immoralities.

America is rapidly rotting from within and too many of us are fine with that. Blame it on 1920 if you like, but subsequent generations, including this one, have renewed the lease on the banal and bizarre to our national shame, if we were capable of shame in an age where anything goes.

Editorial

The flaw Hillary’s resume can’t offset Many of our friends on the Right view Hillary Clinton unfavorably. Some are of the opinion that she is, in the damning words of the late columnist Bill Safire, “a congenital liar.” Others share the uncharitable view of former House Speaker Dick Armey that Mrs. Clinton’s thoughts “sound a lot like Karl Marx.”

Well, we do not think the former First Lady, former New York senator, former secretary of state a liar. Nor do we think her a Marxist. But we do have nagging questions about Mrs. Clinton’s fitness to be the next president of the United States.

We know she’s an exceedingly bright woman; a Yale alum like former presidents George W. Bush, husband Bill Clinton and George Herbert Walker Bush. We know she boasts experience at the highest level of government, having overseen the State Department for four years.

Yet, we think Mrs. Clinton suffers a tragic flaw — the lack of an ethical compass.

That brings us to the disquieting revelation Thursday by the New York Times that the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation received $2.35 million in donations from Ian Telfer, former chairman of Uranium One, a Canadian company with substantial U.S. holdings.

It so happens that the donations from Mr. Telfer’s family foundation coincided with discussions by the State Department, then headed by Mrs. Clinton, as to whether to approve a Russian takeover of Uranium One. Normally, the Clinton damage-control team would have ascribed the explosive story to the “vast right-wing conspiracy” that Mrs. Clinton first invoked when defending her husband against accusations of presidential philandering.

But since the Gray Lady cannot be accused of being in cahoots with Clinton haters on the Right, the Clinton presidential campaign simply denied, denied, denied that the Mr. Telfer’s multimillion-dollar gift had anything whatsoever to do with Mrs. Clinton’s role as secretary of state.

No one, stated Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, “has produced a shred of evidence that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton foundation.”

Well, Mr. Fallon is absolutely correct.

There is no smoking email — that we know of — from Mrs. Clinton to Mr. Telfer in which she promised a quid pro quo.

But that’s beside the point. What troubles us is that it apparently didn’t occur to Mrs. Clinton that, as secretary of state, she not only should have scrupulously avoided conflicts of interest, but even the appearance of such conflicts.

A public official with an ethical compass would have known that.

The pain of saying goodbye to dear family Tom Shields, my big brother, lived a long and good life. When he died earlier this month, he was widely — and deservedly — praised for generously giving millions to fund struggling inner-city Catholic schools and scholarships for hundreds of kids who hadn’t been so lucky in life’s lottery as he, our wonderful sister, Ann, and I were to be born to loving, intelligent, stable parents who gave their children self-confidence.

For more than a half-century, Tom was completely in love with his late wife, the former Mary Murphy, who always, even when their family’s finances were deep in the red and the bill collectors had turned surly, was absolutely certain that her Tom was smarter than anyone else and destined for great success. He was loved and mourned by his and Mary’s four daughters and

Mark Shields Syndicated Columnist three sons, their 21 grandchildren, one great-grandchild and at least 1,000 different people who came to tell us how Tom had personally given them time, encouragement, counsel and support.

It once was said about at least some of the Congregational missionaries who went to Hawaii and eventually prospered financially: They came to do good and did very, very well.

My big brother, by all earthly indicia, did well, and by just about any standard, he also did

an awful lot of good.

Let me be candid: Being his brother was not any uninterrupted day at the beach. He was the firstborn and always remained the apple of our mother’s eye. By actual count, there were in the family albums 3,418 developed photographs of Tom. Of my sister, Ann, there were only 106 photos. After exhaustive effort, we were able to find 14 pictures of me (which included at least one police surveillance tape). The numbers tell the story: 3,418 to 106 to 14. This, understandably, led to a running family joke that “Mom liked Tom best,” a charge that our mother could never persuasively refute. As a family, we laughed often about this alleged favoritism.

But Mary, my brother’s lifelong love and No. 1 booster, did not know what all this back-and-forth could be about,

thinking that of course our mother, just as any other perceptive person would, liked Tom best.

For me, my brother’s death means that the person whom I’ve known and loved the longest in my life is gone. We shared bunk beds, a bedroom until he got married and a lot of secrets. I was the younger pest who idolized and shadowed my big brother and, yes, who, as a 7-year-old, rushed to tattle to our dad that I had, that very afternoon, seen Tom, then 13, smoking a cigarette. He and I became the closest of friends and rivals. We did disagree, from time to time, about politics, but we laughed together a lot more.

The death of your last sibling often means that there’s See SHIELDS, Page A5

Lets make the last days of April mathematical

By Loretta Clark Roswell Public Library April is Mathematics Awareness Month. Mathematician Ivars Peterson states; “To most outsiders, modern mathematics is unknown territory. Its borders are protected by dense thickets of technical terms; its landscapes are a mass of indecipherable equations and incomprehensible concepts.

Few realize that the world of modern mathematics is rich with vivid images and provocative ideas.” The advances in and applications of the mathematical sciences have become drivers of innovation as new systems and methodologies have become more complex.

As mathematics drives innovation, it also drives careers. This year’s Math Awareness Month theme is “Math Drives Careers.” Math opens the doors to many promising career paths. Not only do many professions and majors (engineering, doctors, physics, nurses, computer science, actuarial science, etc.) require courses in mathematics, but the analytical and problem-solving skills students learn in mathematics can apply to all disciplines.

The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., offers a variety of books on mathematics, mathematical applications and vocational guidance. For more information on Library

John D. Barrow is a cosmologist, theoretical physicist, Research Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University, and the director of the Millennium Mathematics Project.

The Math Awareness theme for 2000, “Math Spans all Dimensions,” is observed in the following books by Barrow.

“The Book of Nothing: Vacuums, Voids, and the Latest Ideas About the Origins of the Universe” looks at mathematics, cosmology, theology, and physics to uncover the nothing that is at the heart of most things.

From the zeros of mathematicians to the void of philosophers, from Shakespeare to the null set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, this book illustrates the fact that nothing is real.

Barrow begins with the origins of zero in ancient India, its rocky reception in Europe, and the early abhorrence and eventual acceptance of the concept of the void by Christianity.

He traces the notion through

the work of writers and thinkers from the ancient Greeks to our own time.

Finally, he discusses recent concepts of nothing, which are having profound effects on our search for the origins and overall structure of the universe. The book illuminates the many ways in which humankind has come to understand “nothing.”

The world of math and the arts might not seem like comfortable neighbors, but in “100 Essential Things You Didn’t Know About Math and the Arts,” Barrow reminds us that math is the study of all patterns, and the world of the arts is rich with pattern. He whisks us through thought-provoking intersections between math and many arts — from the golden ratios of Mondrian’s rectangles and the curious fractal-like nature of Pollock’s drip paintings to ballerinas’ gravity-defying leaps and the next generation of monkeys on typewriters tackling Shakespeare.

For those of us with our feet planted more firmly on the ground, Barrow also wields everyday equations to reveal how many guards are needed in an art gallery or where you should stand to look at sculptures. From music and drama to literature and the visual arts, Barrow’s observations are sure to spark the imaginations of math nerds and art aficionados alike.

Barrow alerts readers to the beauty of mathematics

in “100 Essential Things You Didn’t Know You Didn’t Know: Math Explains Your World.” He demonstrates mathematical concepts in our daily lives with examples are within readers’ usual frame of reference; the shape of an egg, the formation of snowflakes, why the resonant frequencies in a shower stall make you sound better when singing, or figuring out how long to cook a turkey based on its size. Barrow successfully conveys the idea that mathematics provides a key to understanding both ordinary and extraordinary phenomena.

Readers need only a basic knowledge of high school math to enjoy “Mathletics: a Scientist Explains 100 Amazing Things About the World of Sports.” The book features an entertaining deconstruction of the mathematics of sports. For example, Barrow shows how the relationship between time and distance determines the best strategy for kicking the ball in rugby or soccer.

He explains why runners, given a choice, don’t select either the inside position on a circular track, even though it is the shortest distance, or the outside, with its gentler curve, because they want to gauge the speed of the runners on either side. His discussions include a wide range of athletic endeavors such as track and field, skydiving, rowing, triathlons and water polo, etc. This is an illuminating mix for

commented, “I am the golf chairperson for the Roswell, NM Elks Lodge No. 969. For the past six years the Roswell Elks have hosted two charity golf fund-raisers each year for our local community. These 12 tournaments have generated almost $300,000 in sponsorship, with 100 percent of it being donated to local charities.

“This year we will again be hosting on June 6th our 7th annual “Elks for Vets” tournament which supports the South Eastern New Mexico Veterans Transportation Network.

They drive our veterans free of charge to VA medical facilities from Roswell,

Artesia, Carlsbad and the surrounding communities. Over 50 percent of their operating budget comes from donations to this event. I’m hoping that we can count on you to be a sponsor. We have a goal of raising $30,000 for the veteran transportation van program. This will be obtained by the local community responding to thank our veterans.

Again, thanks for your past support and with the help of individuals in our local community our Vets will continue to have the SENM Veterans Van service. Make check payable to Elks for Vets Charity Golf tournament and mail to: Elks Lodge No. 969,

P.O. Box 1678, Roswell, NM, 88202-1678. Thanks in advance for your consideration and time.

The bottom line. A tremendous debt of gratitude goes to the generosity and support of all the event sponsors who keep our Vets van service going.

Also, heartfelt appreciation goes out to State Rep. Bob Wolley and our New Mexico state delegation for the $250,000 capital outlay enabling SENM Veterans Transportation Service to purchase several desperately needed new vans.

God bless.

Leslie A. McPherson

Leslie A. McPherson, age 93, of Roswell, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, April 25, 2015 with his longtime dearest friend and caregiver Rosie Ginanni by his side.

Les was born in La Donia, Missouri on August 19, 1921 to Samuel and Ona McPherson. He had a brother Vadis and two sisters, Norma Jean and Nadine, now all deceased.

Les was also preceded in death by his beloved wife Ruth Cobean McPherson and his daughter Alice Jean Terrell.

Survivors include his dearest friend Rosie Ginanni; his daughter Ruth Ann Speth and her husband Otto; son-in-law Tommy Terrell; two grandsons Eric Sizer and his wife Gina and their children Ethan and Savannah from Denver, CO, Jason Sizer and his wife Denise and their daughter Zuri also of Denver, CO. Les was very fond of Rosie’s daughter Rosetta and her husband Ben Salcido and their children Ross, Andrew, Robert Angelo and Bella from Roswell.

In 1937, Les moved to Roswell from Texas where he spent his childhood and also received his education. As he moved here he was employed by Packway Grocery Store. While working there he met Ruth Cobean who lived a few doors down. The couple fell in love and were married.

From that beautiful union came two beautiful little girls: Ruth Ann and Alice Jean.

Les was very proud to have served his country in the United States Navy from October 5, 1943 to December 10, 1945; he served in the Pacific aboard the USS Makassar Strait.

In July of 2006 Les and his wife Ruth attended a special trip to Fredericksburg, TX in honor of the men of the USS Makassar Strait.

The crew received two battle stars for their participation in WWII battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The ship steamed more than 91,000 miles and more than 15,000 landings in support of the Allied Victory in the Pacific. In special remembrance of the five airmen lost from their squadron in 2012, Les returned to Texas to visit the National Museum of the Pacific War once again.

Les had another family, the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) which he was a part of and supported since it first came to Roswell in 2001. He felt very strongly about Law Enforcement officers and also for the school teachers. He really loved and supported them all. Les enjoyed talking to people and was a big people person. Everywhere he saw police officers he would always stop and thank them for their services. He would encourage young kids to continue their stud-

ies and would say a good education will always give you a good job. Les loved people and it was his desire to always help them.

After returning from having served his country, Les went to work at Cobean Stationery Company. Soon after that he and his wife Ruth became owners of the business and remained there until it closed in 2011. During his early years, he was an avid outdoors man and excellent small game and upland bird hunter. In later years, his interest switched to trout fishing.

He enjoyed many pleasant outings with his friends at Surprise Valley in northern New Mexico. He was physically active and he was an avid racquetball player who played twice a week for many years. One of his favorite pastimes was to visit the Senior Circle daily for coffee and visit with his good friends. Les enjoyed traveling with his son-inlaw Otto Speth on many occasions. One thing Les always enjoyed every time he could, was to eat “a little” junk food — Cheetos and Coke. He liked sharing these treats with his good friend Star II, Rosie and his dog, they were good pals.

A gathering of family and friends for Les will be from 4-6 p.m., Friday, May 1, 2015, at Ballard Funeral Home. Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, May 2, 2015, at Christ Church. Pastor Jerry Chaves and Associate Pastor Lonnie Owen of Christ Church will officiate.

Burial will follow at South Park Cemetery with Roswell Veteran’s Honor conducting military graveside services.

Serving as pallbearers are Frank Taylor, Phil Smith, Britt Snider, Ross Doerr, Carlos Rodriguez and Jaime Fiero. Honorary pallbearers are International Law Enforcement Academy staff, Monday Morning Prayer Group, Senior Circle, Mr. and Mrs. Javier Gusman, Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pardo, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fleenor, Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Garay, Jim Turner, Julie Spellman, Jim McDevitt, Dick Goodwin, Patrick Sedillo, John Franco, Ray Fortune, John Popham, Al Harris, Mark Taylor and Gus Ramirez.

Special thanks to all that gave such wonderful care to Les during his time of need; Dr. Feroze, Dr, Vaillant, Dr. McGuire, ENMMC, Casa Maria Rehabilitation, Gentiva Hospice, Frontier Medical, Lin Care, Wheelchair and Walker Rental Inc. and 911.

In lieu of flowers please make donations in honor of Les McPherson to the Reflections and Recovery Women’s Shelter, PO Box 721, Roswell, NM 88202.

In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Broncos sweep in home regular-season finale

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent

Debbie Trujillo Photo

NMMI’s Preston Inman got the start on the mound for the Institute in game one of the Bronco’s doubleheader against Eastern New Mexico University Tuesday at NMMI Ballpark.

The Bronco baseball team still has an extremely slim chance of playing the the post-season this year, so to get ready for the last, most important regular-season series of the year, they faced off against the Eastern New Mexico University JV in a non-conference doubleheader Tuesday afternoon.

NMMI rested a lot of regulars and gave a number of pitchers a chance to see action, yet still came away with a pair of shutouts, winning 10-1 in the opener and 4-0 in the nightcap.

“It was just a chance to play our 56 games and get some guys some innings that we needed, because they were going to throw their bullpen either Tuesday or Wednesday anyways,” said Bronco coach Chris Cook. “Get some guys work on the mound.

Get some guys who haven’t played much this year, get them a chance to play. I’d rather play than practice.

That’s pretty much what it amounted to.”

Cook started a lineup that only looked partly similar to what he’s started the rest of the year, and had seven different pitchers throw. But except for some problems in the field, the young Greyhounds didn’t look too bad.

“They’ve got a lot of guys this year,” Cook said.

“They’ve done a great job recruiting, so with a lot of guys they had enough people to get some work in for their younger kids. They had some guys who hit the ball pretty well and guys who threw strikes. The games were actually relatively pretty close, other than a few defensive mistakes.”

Those mistakes showed up early in Game 1, which saw the Institute score two runs on no hits but two errors. Add in a pair of fielder’s choice plays that didn’t get anyone out, and the Broncos were up early.

NMMI’s biggest inning was the fourth, when Frany Silva reached base on another ENMU error. Marion McLean doubled him in, Chris Forster walked then McLean scored on a wild

pitch. With two outs, Brad Blackwell singled to score two, making it 6-0 NMMI. The Broncos added a pair of runs in the fifth on a McLean triple, then ended the game under the mercy rule in the sixth on five walks by the Greyhound reliever.

McLean was the big offensive push in the opener, going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and 2 RBI. Blackwell was 1-for-2 with 2 RBI and one run; and Chris Foster and Winston Welch were each 1-for3, with Foster scoring two runs and getting 2 RBI. Alex Howard was 1-for-4 with one run scored.

On the mound, Preston Inman went four complete, allowing no runs on four hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. Ragan Cole went the final two innings, giving up two hits and striking out two.

Game 2 was a lot closer, with the Broncos going up 2-0 in the second when Patrick Moyle got his first college hit of his career, singling to shallow See NMMI, Page B2

Roswell sweeps Lovington in district doubleheader

State track qualifiers

By Doug Walp Record Sports Editor

The Roswell Coyotes completed a regular-season sweep of district opponent Lovington Tuesday night, as coach Steve Nunez’s varsity squad handled the Wildcats 14-5 in game one, before defeating Lovington 8-4 in game two at Joe Bauman Stadium.

Senior Brian Espinosa got the start on the mound for the Coyotes in game one, allowing five hits and five earned runs over five innings of work while walking four and striking out three.

Espinosa was lifted for junior Hector Garcia in the sixth inning, and Garcia pitched a flawless two frames, retiring the six Lovington batters he faced in order.

Roswell benefitted from a balanced offensive attack in game one, as eight different Coyotes recorded either a hit or an RBI. Leadoff hitter Chris Carpenter was 2-for-2 with an RBI, but also walked

Garcia was 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs, while Gabriel Perez and Nick Palomino were both 1-for-4 with 2 RBIs and a run scored apiece. Devin Dubiel was 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI. The Coyotes kept the momentum going into the second game, jumping out to a 6-0 lead before eventually winning 8-4.

Garcia got the start for Roswel in game two, and

pitched well through his 42/3 innings of work. Garcia struck out eight while allowing just four hits and two walks.

Garrison Kyser relieved Garcia, pitching 11/3 innings, while allowing two hits, two walks and a pair of earned runs. Ty Jordan and Brandon Evans combined to record the final three outs of the game.

Orioles to play White Sox on Wednesday in closed stadium BALTIMORE (AP) — After a pair of postponements caused by rioting in Baltimore, the Orioles and Chicago White Sox will play Wednesday at Camden Yards in what is believed to be the first game without fans in major league baseball’s 145-season history.

Because of the unsettled environment in Baltimore, where rioters burned a drug store and set police cars ablaze on Monday night, officials moved the game up five hours from its original 7:05 p.m. starting time and closed it to the public.

In addition, Baltimore’s Friday-to-Sunday series against Tampa Bay was shifted from Camden Yards to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the Orioles remaining the home team and batting last.

“All of the decisions in Baltimore were driven first by the desire to insure the safety of fans, players, umpires and stadium workers,” Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Only after we were comfortable that those concerns had been addressed did we consider competitive issues and the integrity of

Although the Orioles won’t be performing in front of their fans Wednesday and will effectively lose three home games, they understood the situation and had no complaints.

“It’s all about what’s best for the city and the safety of our people,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said in a telephone interview with the AP. “The last thing you want to do is put the fans in harm’s way. You have to err on the side of safety.”

The looting and rioting broke out Monday just hours after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-yearold black man who suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody.

Schools were closed Tuesday and the mayor imposed a 10 p.m.to-5 a.m. curfew. The announcement of the unique closed-doors game came after the Orioles postponed games against Chicago on Monday and Tuesday.

“We were just trying to respond to the wishes of the public officials and protect the integrity of the schedule,” Dan Duquette, the Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations, said in a phone interview.

This was Chicago’s only scheduled visit to Camden Yards. The first two games will be made up as part of a doubleheader on May 28.

Combined, NMMI walked only five and struck out 10.

The Broncos close the regular season Friday and Saturday at Frank Phillips College, and while the numbers don’t look good for NMMI getting a post-season berth, closing out the season with a sweep would mean any-

thing’s possible.

“We’re going to go in trying to win each game, because I’d rather finish fifth than eight or fifth than seventh, whatever it may be,” Cook said. “We’re trying to continue to win more games this year and set a higher standard for the future kids who come in the program.

“We’ve done the first step,” Nunez said. “What we needed today was to play good. We did that, and got the sweep. Now we’re looking forward to trying to do something against Artesia.”

NFL relinquishing tax-exempt status Obama, Abe declare WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Football League is giving up its tax-exempt status, which Commissioner Roger Goodell called a “distraction.”

In a letter to team owners, Goodell said that the league office and its management council will file tax returns as taxable entities for the 2015 fiscal year. Goodell said the NFL has been tax-exempt since 1942, though all 32 teams pay taxes on their income.

Goodell said the change will not alter the function or operation of the league, since all the teams already pay taxes.

“As you know, the effects of the tax-exempt status of the league office have been mischaracterized repeatedly in recent years,” Goodell said in the letter, dated Tuesday. “The fact is that the business of the NFL has never been tax exempt.”

Major League Baseball gave up its 501(c)(6) tax-exempt status in 2007, which eliminates the require-

ment for an annual filing of IRS Form 990, which is the publicly available tax return of a tax-exempt organization and requires the listing of compensation for the highest-paid employees.

The National Hockey League also has tax-exempt status, but the National Basketball Association does not.

Some members of Congress have criticized the NFL, which generates billions in revenue, for being tax-exempt.

“The owners have decided to eliminate the distraction associated with misunderstanding of the league office’s status, so the league office will in the future file returns as a taxable entity,” said Robert McNair, owner of the Houston Texans and chairman of the league’s finance committee.

Team owners gave the league’s finance committee and management council the authority to change the tax status at league

progress, but no breakthrough, on trade WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama acknowledged Friday the challenge he faces winning congressional support for a major Asia-Pacific trade deal that has become a cornerstone of his second term agenda. “It’s never fun passing a trade bill in this town,” the president said as he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared their determination to seeing the deal through.

Both Obama and Abe face domestic pressures on trade that have not only created sticking points between Japan and the U.S., but have also complicated Obama’s ability to win support for a broader 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

With Japan and the U.S. as the largest economies in those negotiations, resolving their own differences could go far in paving the way for the more extensive trade deal.

“I know that the politics around trade can be hard in both our countries,” Obama said, as Abe stood by his side during a Rose Garden news conference.

While Abe’s visit to the White House was not expected to yield a trade breakthrough, the lack of a final accord between the two nonetheless stood out given agreement in other areas, particularly on changes to U.S.-Japan defense guidelines — an area where both countries share more com mon ground. The new rules boost Japan’s military capability amid growing Chinese assertiveness in disputed areas in the East and South China Sea claimed by Beijing.

Referring to the trade barriers on vehicles that have been one of the main sticking points in the U.S-Japan trade talks, Obama said: “There are many Japanese cars in America, I want to see more American cars in Japan as well.”

Abe said he is eager to

see “the early conclusion” of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, adding that on outstanding issues over trade barriers “we welcome the fact that significant progress was made.”

Before completing the deal, however, Obama must win expanded negotiating authority from the U.S. Congress, a difficult task given opposition from liberals and labor unions who say they fear the loss of American jobs. As a result, Obama’s stiffest resistance has come from members of his own Democratic Party.

Abe faces his own trade politics at home. Japan has longstanding protections for politically powerful farm interests. Moreover, an aging population and changing tastes have lowered the consumption of rice, resulting in significant surpluses that Japan has protected with tariffs and other supports.

Still, Obama said: “I know that Prime Minister Abe, like me, is deeply committed to getting this done, and I’m confident we will.”

China’s economic and military footprint hung over the Abe visit. In the face of China’s rise, Obama has sought to display more U.S. economic and security might in the Asia-Pacific region.

He said the U.S. sees China as a booming potential market and partner for U.S. development efforts overseas, noting that hundreds of millions of Chinese have been pulled out of poverty in recent years. But he acknowledged “some real tensions” over China’s maritime claims.

“They feel that rather than resolve these issues through normal international dispute settlements, they are flexing their muscles,” he said. “We’ve said to China what we should say to any country in that circumstance: That’s the wrong way to go about it.”

The Kentucky Derby

Off to the Races England’s first public track for horse racing opened in the early 1600s, and the sport was off to the races! Settlers in America continued racing horses, but usually only the wealthiest farmers competed. The first racetrack in the New World was in Long Island, New York. It was built in 1664 and called Newmarket.

Through the 1800s, hundreds more racetracks were built all across the United States.

Even in the earliest competitions, spectators and horse owners loved to bet on which horses would win the races. If their choice won, they would win all the money that had been bet.

At the Puy du Fou historical theme park in France, horses and riders re-create an ancient Greek chariot race for modern-day visitors.

Victor Espinoza

It is often said that good things come in small packages. At 5-foot-2 and 112 pounds, 42-year-old Victor Espinoza is small in stature, but he is a giant in the sport of thoroughbred horse racing.

Victor was born in Mexico and was the 11th of 12 children. Even as a child, he loved horses. By age 17, he was driving a bus to pay for jockey school. He moved to the United States in the mid-1990s and quickly became one of the sport’s most successful jockeys. Among his more than 3,000 race victories are two wins in the Kentucky Derby and two in the Preakness. Last year, he rode California Chrome to wins in both races and took home the ESPY award as the year’s top jockey.

Victor donates 10 percent of his winnings to pediatric cancer research at the City of Hope hospital in Southern California.

Horses get ready

photo by Montanabw

When horses turn a year old, they begin working with a trainer. They learn how to come out of a starting gate and run around the oval track.

Young horses must get used to having a saddle and rider on their back and a bit in their mouth.

Race horses will usually start competing at age 2. Horses might run in only 10 to 15 races per year. The competitions are hard on their bodies.

Veterinarians keep a close eye on horses and look them over carefully before and after every race.

Grooms get horses ready to train and race and cool a horse down after its workout.

They may check a horse’s hooves and California Chrome is led by take care of tack. his groom, Raul Before a race, Rodriguez. the groom puts the bridle, or headgear, on the horse. He or she may wrap the horse’s lower legs with bandages for support.

Who’s on the Track?

The horses In the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, the horses are thoroughbreds.

This type of horse was created starting in the early 1100s, when British One of the original people mated three Arabian three stallions that began the male horses thoroughbred line, (stallions) with the Darley Arabian. many different female horses (mares) to create faster animals. All thoroughbreds can trace their ancestry back to one of these three Arabian horses.

In the Triple Crown races, horses must turn 3 years old in the year the race is being held. Most of the racing horses are colts, or young males.

Only three fillies, or young females, have won the Kentucky Derby. The last was in 1988.

The riders during the race are called jockeys. They have a lot to do during their short time on the track.

Jockeys must encourage the horse to run as fast as it can and guide it around the other horses safely as it races around the track. Jockeys are not allowed to touch another horse or rider, and they can’t intentionally steer the horse to block another horse.

Before the race, jockeys must weigh in, wearing their silks, or riding outfits, and carrying their saddle and other tack, or equipment.

Their weight must be exactly 126 pounds (if riding a colt) or 121 pounds (if riding a filly). If a jockey is underweight, small weights will be added to the saddle cloth. The riders must weigh in again after the race to make sure nothing was changed.

Jockeys get ready After weighing in, jockeys meet their horses and climb aboard. They walk and trot the horse around on the track to loosen up muscles and nerves.

Harold: What kind of horse does a ghost like to ride?

Harriet: Night mares!

Horses must all start at the same time. If one breaks through the gate early, they all have to start over.

The Kentucky Derby uses an electronic timekeeping system along with timekeepers with stopwatches.

Horses and riders move to the starting gate and enter their stalls.

Some horses get fidgety in the gate and may kick.

Many jockeys have grown up around horses and have worked with trainers and other professionals. Some go to special schools to learn how to race horses.

Jockeys must not only learn about their animals, but must also understand how to manage their own weight and build their strength. “It’s a spectacular feat to communicate with a horse that size,” one expert said.

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

• California Chrome won last year’s Kentucky Derby with a time of 2 minutes, 3.6 seconds. The winning jockey was Victor Espinoza.

• Monarchos won the Kentucky Derby in 2001. He was the secondfastest horse in history, with a time of 1 minute, 59.9 seconds.

Funny’s

Derby traditions • The Kentucky Derby is also called the Run for the Roses. A large garland of roses is laid over the winning horse’s back after the race.

• The trophy awarded to the winning horse is 22 inches tall and sits on a base made of jade. It is decorated with a golden horseshoe.

• Since 1921, the song “My Old Kentucky Home” has been played as the horses come onto the track.

• Many women at the Kentucky Derby wear large, colorful hats.

Race Day When race day arrives at Churchill Downs, there have already been months of planning to make sure everything goes smoothly. Up to 160,000 people will watch the race from the stands and from the infield, or the area in the middle of the track.

Millions more will watch “the most exciting two minutes in sports” on television.

People have been racing horses since ancient times in Greece and Rome. The ancient Olympic Games included chariot races and contests of horsemen riding without saddles, using their strength to stay atop the horses.

Chariot racing took place in a hippodrome, a large oval stadium with seating for spectators. (“Hippo” is the Greek word for horse; “dromos” is the word for course.)

Kentucky became well-known for its excellent horses and racing events.

Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., the grandson of the explorer Gen. William Clark, founded the Louisville Jockey Club and raised money to build a track there. The track, Churchill Downs, was named after Clark’s relatives, who donated the land for it.

The first race at Churchill Downs took place on May 17, 1875, 140 years ago.

Thousands of Aristides people cheered for the 15 thoroughbred horses as they raced around the track. The winner was Aristides, who finished the race in 2 minutes, 37 seconds.

The horse’s owner in that race received $2,850, a huge sum at the time. Today, the winning horse’s owner receives more than $2 million.

The Kentucky Derby is always held on the first Saturday of May. In 1945, because of World War II, the race was run in June instead.

Do you dream of racing along a 1.25mile oval track on the back of a 1,000pound horse, expertly guiding it past competing racers to victory?

During the coming weeks, three horse races will captivate the nation for just a few minutes each. But the winning horses and jockeys will become part of a long history of horse racing in the United States.

Saddle up for a ride to the Kentucky Derby, the first event in the Triple Crown of horse racing.

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-year-old girl and I caught my mom sniffing nail polish remover. She obviously doesn’t want me to know because she tries to hide it.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know why she would want to do this. It’s something people MY age would do. I know better than to do that.

Should I talk to her about it? She’ll probably make up some excuse like she likes the smell. She sometimes tells me I need to grow up because I can act silly. But honestly, SHE is the one who needs to grow up.

I want to help her because I know what she’s doing is not good for her. But how?

KNOWS HER SECRET IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR KNOWS: Your mother may have an acetone addiction. Because you can’t convince her to take your concerns seriously, tell another adult ASAP what’s going on — a relative, your father if he’s in the picture, a teacher or counselor at school.

This kind of inhalant addiction is serious because in high concentrations acetone is a nervous system depressant. This means it can slow a person’s heartbeat, respiration and metabolism, causing a person to become dizzy, confused and pass out. It can also damage the vital organs — the heart, liver, kidneys and the bone marrow — and cause cardiac arrest and death.

A support group for the children of addicts such as Alateen could give you emotional support. To find one,

visit al-anon.org.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My husband had a heart attack a week ago and is still in the ICU. I visit him every day.

Yesterday I found out that he had asked his sister to stay with me to "be there for me."

I am furious. My sisterin-law is a nice woman, but we have never been close. My house is a shambles (my husband and I are both disabled, he with peripheral artery disease and me after having been run over by a car) because housework is painful for me. So now, in addition to the stress of taking cabs to see him, I have the additional stress and pain of trying to make the house presentable.

I know my husband meant well, but I don’t want to go through this in front of an audience. I feel angry and also guilty for being angry. Can you help me put all this into perspective?

STRESSED IN NEW JERSEY

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

DEAR STRESSED: After spending a week in an ICU, your husband may be having concerns about ever emerging. He may have suggested his sister come because he was worried about how you would handle being alone. That you might be upset because your home isn’t ready to be featured in House Beautiful probably didn’t enter his mind.

However, now that she’s coming, be smart. Ask her to help you with the deferred housework so the place will be shipshape when your husband is discharged. If, as you say, you and your sister-in-law aren’t close, her stay with you may be shorter than planned.

HHHHH Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints

from Heloise

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: Is a pot with a crock insert the same thing as a SLOW COOKER? Charlotte, via email

Dilbert

Yes, it is. However, most folks call a pot with a crock insert by its brand name, which is on your mind right now, I’m sure. That name is trademarked, thus my having to dance around without using the brand name! Companies do have to be diligent in protecting trademarks.

Here’s a challenge for you: Can you name a facial tissue? Paper towel?

Moving stairs? Cat-box deodorizer?

Heloise

HHHHH Dear Heloise: I purchased a refrigerator that is the right size for me. However, it was becoming annoying to dig around trying to find leftovers, etc.

I decided to try using turntables. I bought 18-inch and 12-inch turntables. I use one on the middle rack, and it stores large jars and most leftovers. The smaller turntable is on the top shelf to hold jam, jellies, condiments, etc. Now everything is easy to see and easy to reach. If you use this, please sign me “Dude, NorCal.” Hey, Dude! (“Hey Jude” — are you humming the song? I am.) We think alike. I have turntables in our refrigerators. It’s easy to find a jar of relish, mustard, pickled mushrooms, etc., and it helps keep the shelf clean. Please write again!

Heloise

For Better or For Worse

Garfield

HHHHH Dear Heloise: I just read your column about a reader having trouble removing pie slices from the pie pan. I saw this on a cooking show: If the pan is a tinfoil type, take shears and cut into the side in two places. Cut the pan as far as you can, then fold it down.

You should be able to get a pie server in to take out the first slice. The next slices should be easy to get out. Hope this helps the reader.

JoAnn F., Lincoln, Calif.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise.com Dear Heloise: I seldom bake, and my kitchen is very tiny. I do not have a cooling rack. Usually, when I take something hot from the oven, I lay two table knives on the counter, one pointing in each direction. Then I set the hot pan on it to cool. Works well.

Recently, all my table knives were in the sink to be washed.

I thought, “Now what do I do?”

I opened my cupboards and took out four cans of fruit, set them on the counter and put the hot pan on them. A great idea!

Frances H., Kane, Pa. Sounds like a plan, and one that can be used by all!

Heloise

HHHHH Dear Heloise: When I replace a microwave with a new one, I keep the rotating glass tray. Having a spare means I can swap trays quickly in the event of food spills. The dirty one goes in the dishwasher.

No food stuck on the bottom of later meals. No smell of burned food. No scraping burned food off the original tray.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders Rubio hopes Japan’s Abe addresses to seek Democratic nomination MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will announce his plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, presenting a liberal challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sanders, an independent who describes himself as a “democratic socialist,” will follow a statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.

Sanders will become the second major Democrat in the race, joining Clinton.

He has urged the former secretary of state to speak out strongly about issues related to income inequality and climate change. The former first lady and New York senator is viewed as a heavy favorite in the primary and entered the race earlier this month.

The white-haired senator and former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, has been a liberal firebrand, blasting the concentration of wealth in America and assailing a “billionaire class” that he says has taken over the nation’s politics. His entry could be embraced by

some liberals in the party who have been disenchanted with Clinton and have unsuccessfully urged Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to join the race.

In recent weeks, Sanders has been a forceful critic of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, which would eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers for the U.S., Canada and Asian countries conducting commerce with each other.

“One of the key reasons why the middle class in America continues to decline and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider is because of disas-

trous trade agreements which have sent millions of decent-paying jobs to China and other low-wage countries,” Sanders said last week.

Sanders generated attention in 2010 when he staged a lengthy Senate floor speech opposing a tax agreement by President Barack Obama and Republicans.

He has called for universal health care, a massive infrastructure jobs and building program, a more progressive tax structure and reforms to address the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which Sanders says has unleashed a torrent of

money from big donors to political candidates.

The senator has generated some enthusiasm on college campuses and liberal enclaves in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and made several trips to court the influential Democratic voters there.

“He will add color,” said Lou D’Allesandro, a Democratic state senator from New Hampshire. “He’s not bashful about anything.”

Kathy Sullivan, a New Hampshire supporter of Clinton and a member of the Democratic National Committee, said Sanders’ decision was expected.

“I know Hillary Clinton has always been expecting for there to be a competitive Democratic primary in New Hampshire,” Sullivan said. “I think he should be taken seriously.”

Karl Rhomberg, a Davenport, Iowa, Democratic activist, said that while he expects Clinton “to be the nominee, I expect her to listen to Bernie, listen to (Martin) O’Malley and listen to people from the left.” He added: “If Bernie is going to put a stake on the left side of the field and draw Hillary toward it, that’s OK with me.”

smallest state dinner, and it had a decidedly low celebrity quotient.

“Star Trek” luminary George Takei was back for his first state visit since the Clinton administration.

TV powerhouse Shonda Rhimes, mastermind of the hit shows “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” was a first-timer.

Asked about her chopstick skills, Rhimes waggled her hand uncertainly. Takei, by contrast, said he’d grown up with chopsticks.

Takei’s husband, Brad, wondered what the big deal was.

“Is that exotic for the White House?” he asked.

Anyway, no worries: There was flatware for those wanting to play it safe.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson turned up with R&B singer Ciara, fresh off attending the White House Corre-

spondents’ Dinner over the weekend with his grandmother.

“She’s back in Virginia,” Wilson explained of his grandmother. His new date, for her part, took plenty of time to arrange her gown just so — twice — for the cameras.

Former Vice President Walter Mondale, who also served as ambassador to Japan, arrived at the White House in the role of seasoned veteran of state dinners.

Asked how many he’d attended, Mondale mused, “I’m not sure. Thirty?”

“When I was vice president, I had to go,” he confessed.

Guest chef Masaharu Morimoto, of TV’s “Iron Chef” fame, and the White House culinary team served up a meal fusing American and Japanese influences: Think Caesar salad tied up with Mizuhiki paper cord. American

Wagyu beef. And cheesecake — made with tofu and soy milk.

Tables in the East Room sported the new White House china that the Obamas unveiled this week, featuring stripes of a “Kailua blue” hue inspired by the Pacific waters that are dear to the Hawaiian-born president and the Japanese as well.

As with every state dinner, it was all part of a carefully laid plan to promote friendly relations between the U.S. president and the leader of the guest country. That would be Abe, who joked at a Tuesday luncheon that he dared not overdo the drinking at dinner because he’s addressing a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday.

Even the after-dinner entertainment was aimed at bringing together the two cultures. Cast members from the film adaptation of “Jersey Boys” were

‘comfort women’ rift

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., speaks at an event organized by Town Hall Los Angeles on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said Tuesday that China is exploiting a rift between Japan and South Korea over World War II “comfort women,” and he hopes Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks to the sensitive dispute in his address to Congress.

While Japan has expressed regret for wartime atrocities, “obviously something is missing” because it hasn’t gone far enough for survivors, Rubio said in an appearance in downtown Los Angeles.

Rubio credited Japanese society with being “extraordinarily open” about the past and said “it’s a much different country now than it was then.”

But “for the interest of geopolitical stability, not to mention for historical accuracy, I do think it’s important for the government of Japan to be more forward thinking,” he added.

Rubio’s remarks about Japan’s wartime past to Town Hall Los Angeles, a public speakers forum, came in advance of Abe’s scheduled address to Congress on Wednesday.

performing selections from the jukebox musical, which was popular in Japan.

The White House state dinner has become an especially rare commodity under this president: This is just the eighth state dinner for Obama over more than six years in office.

That’s the smallest number since the six dinners that Harry Truman played host to over eight years in office, according to the White House Historical Association. Obama has at least one more dinner in the offing, for China in the fall.

Morimoto was a natural choice as guest chef for the Obamas. His restaurant on Oahu is a favorite dining spot when the Obamas vacation in Hawaii. The chef tweeted a photo of himself working side-byside with White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford in the cramped White House kitchen and called it an honor to be

there.

Signs of transition in the final two years of the Obama administration were evident: After four years on the job, Social Secretary Jeremy Bernard was presiding over his final state dinner before handing off to his deputy, Deesha Dyer, a former hip-hop journalist who started out as a White House intern.

Early in the night, Bernard was all-business. But he predicted that would change as the night wore on.

“I will get nostalgic probably around 11 o’clock,” he said.

Bouquets of vibrant orchids, cherry blossoms and other flowers were arranged by the in-house White House team, with an assist from an unidentified outside design firm. Head florist Laura Dowling, who departed earlier this year, has not been replaced.

State dinner offers new chef and chopsticks for the brave WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s state dinner for the prime minister of Japan offered guests a new chef, new china and the specter of chopsticks — a daunting challenge for some nervous newcomers, no big deal to others.

The president welcomed guest of honor Shinzo Abe with a toast over sake that included a haiku about spring and friendship.

Abe, in return, went with R&B. He quoted the song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” to convey the strength of the bonds between the U.S. and Japan.

First lady Michelle Obama found another way to pay tribute to the guest nation, wearing a purple sleeveless gown by Japanese-born designer Tadashi Shoji.

With less than 200 guests, it was Obama’s
