Bisbee pays contractor, avoids lawsuit Dispute centers on solar array property work BY SHAR PORIER shar.porier@bisbeereview.net
BISBEE — T he Bi sb e e Mayor a nd Cit y Cou nci l members voted u na nimously to pay a $64,730 debt owed to a company that performed grading work for the solar array at the wastewa-

In a special meeting held T hu rsd ay, cou nci l members Gene Conners, Joan Hansen, Shirley Doughty, Anna Cline and Doug Dunn a n d M ay o r R o n O e r t l e voted unanimously to pay the contractor, The Ashton Company, $ 64,730 for work completed last year. William Vail, president of Ashton, agreed to drop the interest for non-payment
that there was not enough dirt on-site to complete the job as contracted, according to documents provided by the city. Additionally, piles of dirt that were supposed to be used in leveling the site contained heavy rock that Ashton’s on-site equipment could not handle. So, Ashton had to bring in bigger equipment to deal with it. Pac e En g i ne er i n g p er -

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
HERALD/REVIEW
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
News, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today:
TO END 1OPENLIBERIA EBOLA CURFEW, LAND BORDER CROSSINGS Liberia’s president on Friday ordered officials to lift an overnight curfew put in place six months ago to fight the Ebola epidemic and to reopen the country’s land border crossings. The new orders from President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, which take effect Sunday, offer another sign that normal life is resuming in the West African nation as officials work toward eradicating the disease entirely. Once the center of the worst Ebola outbreak in history, Liberia has recorded more than 9,000 confirmed, suspected and probable cases and 3,900 deaths.
Following weeks of recrimination and distrust, Greece and its creditors in the 19-nation eurozone reached an agreement Friday on extending the country’s rescue loans, a move that should dramatically ease concerns it was heading for the euro exit as soon as next month. The agreement, which looked a long way off Thursday when one German official compared Athens’ request for more time to the infamous Trojan Horse, will mean that Greece will avoid going bankrupt, at least over the four months of the extension. It should also mean that capital controls won’t be needed and that Greek banks will have enough money to stock up their ATMs. To get the money though, the Greek government has one more hurdle to clear. On Monday, it has to present a series of unspecified economic reforms measures that are deemed acceptable by creditors and rooted in Greece’s previously enacted bailout agreement — something the government had promised not to do.
IN BLAST NEAR NAACP OFFICE: 3 SUSPECT TARGET WAS ACCOUNTANT An accountant who was allegedly the target of a small explosive set off near the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP has been dead since June. Thaddeus Murphy, who was charged Friday in last month’s blast, told investigators he was targeting the accountant because he was upset that the man would not return his phone calls or give him back his tax records. It’s unclear whether Murphy knew the accountant, Steve Dehaven, died last year. Court records show Dehaven pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and was released from federal prison in April 2013.
CHARGES DUKE WITH ILLEGAL 4 U.S. POLLUTION FROM 5 COAL ASH DUMPS Federal prosecutors filed multiple criminal charges against Duke Energy on Friday over years of illegal pollution leaking from coal ash dumps at five North Carolina power plants. The three U.S. Attorney’s Offices covering the state charged Duke with nine misdemeanor counts involving violations of the Clean Water Act. The prosecutors say the nation’s largest electricity company engaged in unlawful dumping at coalfired power plants in Eden, Moncure, Asheville, Goldsboro and Mt. Holly. Duke said Friday that it has already negotiated a plea agreement under which it expects to pay $102 million in fines, restitution and community service. The company said the costs of the settlement will be borne by its shareholders, not passed on to its electricity customers.

GOV. WALKER BACKS PUSH TO MAKE WISCONSIN RIGHTďšşTOďšşWORK STATE
Gov. Scott Walker backed a surprise move Friday by Republican legislators to quickly vote on making Wisconsin a right-to-work state, an action the likely 2016 presidential candidate initially said should be delayed to avoid re-igniting massive pro-union protests. Walker had expressed concerns to leaders in the GOPcontrolled Legislature that rushing the divisive proposal could distract from his agenda, and in September he said he wouldn’t support it this session. But after a series of private meetings with lawmakers Walker’s spokeswoman said he would sign it. Under right to work, unions are prohibited from reaching labor deals with businesses that require privatesector workers to pay fees to the union.

People chant slogans demanding the release of Metropolitan Mayor Antonio Ledezma during a protest in Caracas, Venezuela, Friday. Demonstrators are condemning the surprise arrest of the Caracas’ mayor for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
Opponents of President Nicolas Maduro poured into the streets of Caracas Friday to condemn the surprise arrest of Caracas’ mayor for allegedly participating in a U.S.-backed plot to overthrow his government. An armed commando unit dressed in camouflage raided Mayor Antonio Ledezma’s office Thursday and hauled him away amid protests by his staff. The detention, recorded by security cameras, set off a wave of spontaneous demonstrations, with Venezuelans in middle-class enclaves loyal to the opposition banging pots and pans and blaring their car horns. A few hundred supporters gathered peacefully Friday in eastern Caracas to denounce Ledezma’s “kidnapping,� which they likened to the illegal snatching of activists by South American military dictatorships in the 1970s. Ledezma was expected to appear in court, but it wasn’t clear when that would happen.
STATE BOMBERS KILL DOZENS IN 7 ISLAMIC LIBYAN SUICIDE ATTACKS Islamic State militants unleashed suicide bombings Friday in eastern Libya, killing at least 40 people in what the group said was retaliation for Egyptian airstrikes against the extremists’ aggressive new branch in North Africa. The bombings in the town of Qubba, which is controlled by Libya’s internationally recognized government, solidified concerns the extremist group has spread beyond the battlefields of Iraq and Syria and established a foothold less than 500 miles from the southern tip of Italy. The militants have taken over at least two Libyan coastal cities on the Mediterranean — Sirte and Darna, which is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from Qubba. They released a video Sunday that showed the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians who were abducted in Sirte, and Egypt responded Monday with airstrikes on Darna.
RAVAGED UKRAINE TOWN REGAINS 8 ASPEACE, FEAR OF WAR REMAINS Almost every building was gravely damaged, nearly every window smashed in this Ukrainian town left unrecognizable by months of relentless shelling. Children played in the rubble where their homes once stood, while neighbors boiled water in open fires as temperatures dipped below freezing. Two days after government forces fled Debaltseve in disarray, leaving the Russian-backed separatists in total control of the strategic town, all was quiet Friday. Residents who could not or refused to flee came blinking out of makeshift shelters to soak up the rare winter sun. Across town, Cossack fighters rolled jubilantly away on commandeered trucks, tanks and armored vehicles, having secured another decisive victory for the rebels.
SUSPECT BRAGGED ABOUT LAS 9 POLICE: VEGAS ROADRAGE KILLING The teenage neighbor arrested in what has been described as the road-rage slaying of a Las Vegas mother boasted about the shooting and told friends that he emptied several clips from his semi-automatic handgun during the gunbattle, according to a police report released Friday. The documents depict a fierce shootout last week involving 19-year-old Erich Milton Nowsch Jr., victim Tammy Meyers and her 22-year-old son. Police said Nowsch bragged of firing more than 22 shots at them that night — first, a few blocks from their home, then in the cul-de-sac outside their house. Nowsch remained jailed Friday on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and firing a gun from a vehicle.

New woes for HealthCare.gov: Wrong tax info sent WASHINGTON (AP) — In a new setback for the health care law and the people it’s supposed to help, the government said Friday it made a tax-reporting error that’s fouling up the filings of nearly a million Americans. After a successful sign-up season, the latest goof could signal new problems with the complex links between President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and the nation’s income tax system. Officials said the government sent the wrong tax information to about 800,000 HealthCare.gov customers, and they’re asking those affected to delay filing their 2014 returns. The issue involves a new government form called a 1095-A, which is like a W-2 form for health care for people who got subsidized private coverage under Obama’s law. People can find out whether they’re affected by logging in to their accounts at HealthCare.gov, where they should find a message indicating whether they were affected or not. They also can check by phoning the federal customer service center at 800-318-2596. Separately, California announced earlier that it had sent out inaccurate tax forms affecting about 100,000 households. The state is not part of the federal market but runs its own insurance exchange. HealthCare.gov said in a blog post that the federal mistake happened when information on this year’s premiums was substituted for what should been 2014 numbers. The website had a technology meltdown when it was launched back in 2013, but seemed to have overcome its problems this enrollment season. “It’s just another black mark on the administration’s handling of the health care act,� said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington. “They were hoping for a clean season.� “For many of these impacted taxpayers, the tax refund could be the single largest financial payout of the year,� said Mark Ciaramitaro, H&R Block’s vice president for health care. Many people due a refund file well before the April 15 deadline. “They are being told to wait,� he added, “further delaying access to their tax refund.� On another matter, the administration also announced a special sign-up extension for uninsured people who would face the health care law’s tax penalties for the first time this year. Several million households could benefit from that grace period, which had been sought by Democratic lawmakers.
WHO approves 1st quick test for Ebola BERLIN (AP) — The World Health Organization said Friday it has approved a quick test for Ebola that will dramatically cut the time it takes to determine — with reasonable accuracy — whether someone is infected with the deadly virus. The ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test Kit, made by Colorado-based Corgenix, met sufficient quality, safety and performance requirements to allow it to be purchased and distributed by U.N. agencies and aid groups, WHO said. “It may definitely help the response. I wouldn’t say it’s a game-changer,� said Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO’s assistant director-general. Until now, Ebola tests have been mainly conducted in laboratories. These genebased tests are more accurate but can take between 12 and 24 hours. The new test can provide results within 15 minutes by detecting an Ebola protein. In trials it correctly identified 92 percent of the patients with Ebola and 85 percent of those not infected. Medical personnel will still need to conduct a backup test when someone tests negative, said Aylward. “But (the new test) might help us get to zero faster.�

Hotel ‘disruption’
Opinion
Opinion Editor: Eric Petermann, 515-4610, eric.petermann@svherald.com
“D
isruption,” is a familiar term known to be spoken by business professionals analyzing the impact of the Internet on a particular industry. In banking, disruption dramatically changed how people access their money. Instead of making a special trip to the local bank, people can now perform transactions on their smartphone and seldom need to ever step foot inside a bank. In newspapers, disruption has moved breaking news to websites and lots of people, especially the younger generations, prefer to gather their news through the Internet instead of the printed page. Tuesday night in Bisbee, the term disruption took on a very personal meaning for both the city and its local hotels. Business owner and former Chamber of Commerce president Fred Miller called on the council to do something about unpaid bed taxes in the city. The advent of online services like Airbnb and Vrbo.com allow people advertise a room in their home — or an entire house — for an overnight stay or a vacation. The customer goes online to the website and makes a reservation just as they would for any motel or hotel stay. Miller’s point is that some of the people who are offering these places to stay are not collecting the city’s bed tax. It’s the same “disruption” that has been in the news lately regarding Uber, the website that arranges taxi rides in personal vehicles, instead of city-licensed cabs. Miller’s points to the Bisbee City Council are sound. People who offer accommodations and do not pay the tax have unfair advantages. They can offer rooms at less cost because they don’t pay the tax and they benefit from the city’s tourism effort even though they don’t help pay for that effort. Beyond the financial and tourism advantages, there is a legitimate concern that these private home “hoteliers” are not being inspected by the county health department. Earlier this week a county health official said there are 46 rooms in Bisbee that are advertised as available, but have not been inspected by the local agency. Bisbee is not alone in figuring out what to do about the situation. Cities across the country are challenged by the same “disruption.” Finding answers might require city and county officials to study the solutions implemented elsewhere, before disruption comes to the restaurant industry.
Big Oil, selling out and The American Way
T
hings have changed so seriously that we understand in far better ways how Americans are duped by those much more involved in profit than they are in safety; one can see women advertising fracking and calling it a way to guarantee the safe and independent supply of oil. Women being involved points out the assumed belief that the female consciousness has to express itself, because the female is more concerned about the land, the animals, the children and the spouses, and will not become involved in any sort of dirty and irresponsible doings on the frontiers of big oil. “Trust no one” is a good idea, and one more important than an adolescent film slogan. On both sides and at both extremes there is “rebellion,” as hustlers of the Mitch McConnell type or any kid wanting to smoke marijuana in public can feel satisfied for stepping on the feet of the overweening symbol of parenthood, the blockage limiting “fun.” Its importance is free of that obvious childishness, because the big dollars — the truly big dollars — will pay for any individuals to sell out as long as there is something to sell. Something to sell is now the driving force that has legalized profit liberated from elemental principles. Being somehow good, honest, even inventive is no longer very important — except when public health or public safety is at issue. Selling literal poison is not so good because it will destroy the public confidence in the product.
At this point, sex, color, religion, region or anything else does not tend to be spotless, troubled or beyond other forms of prostitution. In the criminal world, protecting MERICAN the public has never been very PERSPECTIVES important, only profit. In the film STANLEY CROUCH “The Godfather,” which is some sort of expression of supposed insight into morality even in the criminal circus of bludgeoning, torture and murder, the split at the top arrives over the issue of selling drugs. The new order threatens organized crime through the selling of drugs; the old order avoids the business, believing it will destroy itself in the years to come. But an important distinction is made. If selling is done, it should not be to children; it should stay among the darkies — they are animals anyway. It should not be surprising that a style of black popular “music” called “gangsta” arrived and celebrated criminality, misogyny and brutal acts — because such acts had been popular in American film since the Depression of the 1930s. Blood baths were lucrative elixirs. The spread into the dark world of the dark people was the only new element that arrived with the short films of music videos. When Al Gore’s wife attacked the form of popular entertainment as troubling, the hustling front called her hostile to the truth-telling of black “authenticity.” That
argument now has made a feminist turn by defending fracking as the high road to energy independence. Women with horses and children say it does not pose a threat to the American way of life at all; it ensures its continuance. All of the billions of dollars being made and all of the temptations cannot block the ongoing disasters in the arena of moving product. During the past few months, huge apocalyptic explosions of boxcars and pipelines seem to be predictions of untended dangers in the world of big oil and a very serious threat to the Keystone boondoggle. All of those huge plumes of oil smoke result from the industry refusing to protect the product and the public, incapable for now of being safe. That seems easily understood. Oil companies are too taken by the profits — which they are attempting to make at express speed; the more money made, the merrier. What our nation needs to face is the refinement of a sophisticated sense of profit and empathetic visions of public safety. Those killed or maimed in these calamitous disasters speak stronger than any text or statistics. The issue is no longer hidden; we will stop the problem or the problem will stop us from living in the ways we are used to — inventively, profitably and concerned with safety. All three are difficult, but far from impossible; this is America, after all.
tually be lower than what they are now. There is a tremendous amount overhead associated with the state Department of Education that would no longer be required, which would support lower property tax rates no longer covering the overhead costs. Annually, Arizona taxpayers pay millions in legal fees associated with lawsuits with the state legislature regarding the funding of public education. This would be eliminated. No more costly override initiatives, as the school board would be the ones to locally fund education. Additionally, you would see increased competition among school districts to recruit the highest quality teachers in the country, resulting in bettereducated students. It is your tax dollars funding lawsuits and millions of dollars of overhead expenses needlessly. It is time to get control of education locally and stop wasting time with the dysfunctional state legislature that is going against the will and the vote of the people. Without this burden on the shoulders of the legislature, the time spent by legislators in Phoenix working on the budget would be reduced, so less per diem dished out by your taxes too. School districts would also be
required to fund public (K-12) charter schools. These schools could be funded at the same level and in the same manner as traditional public schools. According to the JLBC, it costs more to fund a public charter school compared to a traditional public school. This would also save some taxpayer dollars meaning more of your money in your pocket and not the hands of the legislature.

OUR READERS’ VIEWS Cut state out of education To the Editor: The public school system in Arizona has been woefully underfunded for many years. The state legislature refuses to adequately fund schools (K-12) resulting in deteriorating infrastructure and stagnant wages. This has forced many top-notch teachers to abandon the profession and their passion of teaching young children. Despite a citizen initiative that would require increased funding and several legal suits, the legislature refuses to fund our schools the way people voted. This begs the question, why allow the legislature the capability to provide the funds for public education if they continue to fail at this task? I propose a citizen initiative that takes control of funding public education away from the legislature and grants full authority to individual school districts. If enacted, property taxes collected by the state then redistributed back to the school districts should be dropped by almost 50 percent. In addition, sales tax used to fund the K-12 education could be reduced by about 2 percent. School districts would set property tax rates to fund their districts. In many instances, the rate would ac-

DOD plan would ‘destroy’ commissaries industry reps say
T
he Defense Department’s fiscal 2016 budget request would slash taxpayer support of base grocery stores by $322 million in 2016 and by $1 billion next year, enough to “destroy” the shopping benefit, warns the American Logistics Association. ALA, which represents manufacturers, distributors and brokers of products sold in commissaries and base exchanges, released a position paper that contrasts DoD’s plan to “wreck” commissaries with less onerous recommendations of a blue-ribbon panel to consolidate all base store operations to gain new efficiencies. That would seem to leave Congress with an easy choice. But the Army and Air Force Exchange Service warns in its own position paper that the store consolidation path laid down by the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission won’t produce the savings it touts. AAFES says requiring the three exchange services, including Navy and Marine Corps store systems, to merge with Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) into a new Defense Resale Activity would add nearterm costs of $466 million, which wouldn’t be recouped through efficiencies for “85 years.” That is no typo. AAFES says the commission’s plan to integrate four “companies” that provide shopping discounts on base could take six to nine years to execute. Meanwhile, it says, AAFES stores alone would suffer “lost improvements” over that span of $45 million to $80 million a year. On the commission idea that exchange profits be used to fund commissary and other store operations that historically have been backed by defense appropriations or tax dollars, AAFES warns it lower or eliminate exchange “dividends” which for decades have paid for base
morale, welfare and recreational activities such as gymnasium and libraries. Analysts at the Pentagon are studying whether to recommend replacing or ILITARY modifying DeCA budget plans based UPDATE on the commission’s report. TOM PHILPOTT Other commission ideas also would have unintended consequences, AAFES says. For example, trying to preserve shopper savings at commissaries by allowing base grocers to sell items now sold only in exchanges would “cannibalize exchange sales, earnings and MWR dividends.” AAFES cites studies showing that up to 60 percent commercial store mergers “destroy or fail to create value as expected.” Such mergers typically save the equivalent of a third of one percent of sales. AAFES warns to expect even less savings from consolidating military systems, which have no brands to merge, no tax relief to gain and no unprofitable stores to eliminate. And yet the military resale industry nearly howls with delight at the consolidation idea versus DoD’s budget plan to gut commissary funding. “The President’s own Commission report stands in stark contrast to the President’s own 2016 budget” which “would destroy these valuable benefits,” ALA argues. “The Commission seeks to sustain these benefits and calls for management efficiencies to be implemented instead of diminishing the savings that patrons now realize.” One commissioner, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Higgins who served an even longer second
M
career as professional staff on compensation for the House Armed Services Committee, warned in testimony this month that commissaries will remain under attack if operations aren’t consolidated. “There should be no illusions that DoD is not going to come after commissary money year after year after year…You are going to have a very difficult time here in the Congress protecting commissary funding. That means services are going to erode.” The commission seeks to preserve the sale of groceries on base at cost-plus-a-five-percent-surcharge, Higgins said. But if store hours drop and days that stores are open are cut, he warned, commissary shoppers will go elsewhere and “the exchanges are going to take a terrible hit.” “We need to reform (to) a single manager” to be able “to negotiate deals that protect MWR funding. We can do that,” Higgins told Congress. The president’s budget goes down the path he warns against. It reflects the Joint Chiefs of Staff desperate search for budget trims to help stay a freefall in readiness from the mindless cost-cutting formula of sequestration. Congress adopted sequestration in 2011 and has lacked the courage to repeal it by reaching a compromise that will both slow spending on entitlements and close tax loopholes for the wealthy and special interests. Commissary funding, in this environment, is a ripe plum to pick. The defense budget request would do so in stages, explained Joseph Jeu, DeCA’s director, in a budget memo drafted for an under secretary of defense. First, DeCA would lower its $1.4 billion budget by $183 million through administrative actions, saving $29.5 million by cutting store hours; $4.5 million by closing
stores on holidays; $58.2 million by reducing days stores are opened and $18.8 million by cutting staff. Store staffs would be cut by an average of six employees next year. The number of days commissaries open would be cut a day or two per week across 183 locations. If a base would want to keep its store open longer than DeCA proposes, it would have to find the money in its own budget. DoD proposes securing an additional $139 million in DeCA savings next year through legislation. It seeks authority to raise prices enough to pay the cost of shipping products to stores overseas. It also wants a change in law so DeCA can pay for store supplies from surcharges collected at checkout. This presumably would lower the amount of money available to maintain commissaries and to build new ones. The $1 billion cut to DeCA in 2017 would force most stateside stores to become self-sustaining, which would mean deep cuts to shopper discounts. Commissaries also would have to sell items they cannot today, including beer and wine, gift cards and greeting cards, which would put exchange profits at risk. DeCA also would have to advertise heavily, budget documents explain, to be able to persuade patrons that shopping on base still has value. This same legislative package was proposed last year and Congress ignored it. Without sequestration relief, it will be harder to ignore this year. To comment, write Military Update, P.O.

The deep freeze that broke records in hundreds of cities across the eastern half of the United States on Friday will last most of next week. Another widespread round of ice, snow or freezing rain is set to start falling Saturday from Missouri to the mid-Atlantic and as far south as Alabama and Georgia. “ H i g her a mou nt s over the next two days will probably be across southern Indiana and Illinois and eastward through Ohio into western Pennsylvania,” said Bruce Sullivan, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “That’s where it looks like the jackpot will be.” Here’s a look at the l at e s t we at her a nd the effect it is having around the country:

U.S. / MEXICO WEATHER TODAY
“Polar vortex” is so last year. Forecasters are calling the recordsetting bout of icy air the “Siberian Express” because winds coming from Russia are traveling over the Arctic Circle and pushing into Canada and the United States. “We can almost show the trajectory from Siberia all the way to the U.S.,” Su l livan said, noting meteorologists began using the term long ago. Despite being the buzzword of winter 2 014, polar vortex also has been used for decades in meteorology. It is a pocket of very cold air that typically swirls around the North Pole.
NASA shivers Schools in Alabama sent st udent s home early and NASA shut down its Huntsville facility Friday as a storm began unloading ice, sleet and snow. T h e w e at h e r s e r vice said roads were impassable in at least seven counties. Dozens of school systems dismissed students early or canceled c l a s s e s a l t o g e t h e r.

Ice collects on the Delaware River in view of Philadelphia Friday in Philadelphia. The National Weather Service says the newest band of Arctic air could plunge parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic into deep freezes that haven’t been felt since the mid1990s. NA S A c lo s e d e a rly at its Marshall Space Flight Center because of deteriorating road conditions. Huntsville and the rest of the state’s northeastern corner is under a winter storm warning through early Saturday, and forecasters say much of northern A l aba m a a nd G eorgia could get snow and sleet, including metro Atlanta.
Bone-chilling and record-breaking Bitter cold temperatures have shattered decades-old records from Cincinnati to Washington to New York. The National Weather Service said the low Friday got down to 6 degrees at Reagan National Airport, just across the Potomac River from Washington. At Baltimore’s airport, the temperature dipped to a record low 2 degrees. In western Pennsylva ni a, temp erat u res dipped to minus 18 in New Castle, minus 15 in Butler and 6 below zero in Pittsburgh — all records. Records also were set at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey (1 degree); Trenton, N.J. (zero degrees); New York’s Central Park (2 degrees); and Cincinnati (12 degrees below zero).
Frozen ferries A Boston-bound commuter ferry carrying more than 100 passengers had trouble steering in the ice and had to be towed to port. The ferry Massachusetts depar ted Hingham at about 8:30 a.m. Friday right behind an ice breaker, said Alison Nolan, an official with Boston Harbor Cruises. After the ferry went off course, the ice breaker towed it to Boston, arriving about 45 minutes later than normal. No one was hurt and the boat was not damaged. Ferry service was canceled elsewhere in the Northeast. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry, which connects Delaware and New Jersey, halted operations because of ice and wind. Ferries on New York’s East River also were canceled.
Another kind of island living The Virginia National Guard f lew in food, medicine and mail to an ice-bound fishing
and tourism outpost in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, 14 mi les from the mainland. The mayor of Tangier Island, Mayor James “Ooker” Eskridge, played down its plight but s a id me d ici ne s were essential for those who could not get off the island. Tangier has no drugstore. “But you know, we’re not starving out here,” he said. “This happens when you live in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay.”
Niagara Falls spectacle draws tourists The deep freeze transformed Niagara Falls into an icy spect ac le, enc a si n g t he trees around it into cr ystal shel ls and drawing tourists who are braving below-zero temperatures. The Niagara River is f lowing below the ice cover, so the falls aren’t completely frozen. But the massive ice buildup has become a tourist magnet.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT In the Monday edition of the Herald/Review on the story of the Friends of the Copper Queen Library’s Chocolate Tasting, it was stated that the group made $ 3,000. Actually, it made around $7,000 gross and had $2,000 in expenses. So, the group cleared $5,000 to be used for library programs and operations.

Jonathan Duane Gibson lost his life in Tombstone, Ariz., on July 1, 2013. Jonathan was the father of two children by his wife, Melissa Moser. Jonathan was known as a warm, kind, considerate person by those who knew him, and was loved by friends and family. Jonathan spent his childhood growing up with his brothers in their home in rural Lake Stevens, Wash. He was a happy fun-loving child, and one who could always be depended on. After Jonathan’s parents divorced, he and his brothers spent many summers with his aunt and uncle in Oregon where he learned to ride horses and did a lot of fishing and camping. Jonathan loved to fish and was his father’s fishing partner. After high school, Jonathan was interested in carpentry and went to work in construction. He was a handsome young man and had many girlfriends, but eventually met, fell in love with and married Melissa Moser. Jonathan was an avid Seahawks fan and attended most home games with his younger

brother and watched all the away from home games. Jonathan was a simple person a loving father, and husband whose desire in life was just to have a home where the children, Melissa and him could all be together. Jonathan was never too busy to help others. Jonathan’s death is a tragedy for his family and friends who are heartbroken over the loss, but it is even more of a tragedy for the five children who are impacted by his murder. Jonathan’s wife had two boys by a previous marriage whom he loved as if they were his own; the boys looked at Jonathan as a father figure. Melissa was pregnant at the time of Jonathan’s death and has delivered a baby girl. Jonathan’s mother, father, brothers and sisters have been devastated by the loss. The family has gone through a year and six months of agony since losing Jonathan, he was inseparable from his brothers in life, now death has done what could not be done. Jonathan will continue to live on through his children and in the hearts and memories of those who knew and loved him.

Study: Data lacking about the true state of border security BY ASTRID GALVAN The Associated Press
T UCSON — I nconsistent and ineffective reporting by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has led to a skewed perception of the state of border security, a bipartisan think tank says. The Bipartisan Policy Center released a report this week sayi n g t he dep a r t ment that oversees Customs and Border Protection a nd t he B or der Patrol should use better ways to measure how secure — or not — the border is. The study was heralded by an immigration task force led by former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and Henry Cisneros, former U.S. Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development. “ T he m a i n t h r u st of t he paper is t hat a f ter h avi ng looked at it, there are a set of outcome-based perfor m a nc e me a su r e s t hat c a n b e c a lculated and reported by the government right now, and that taken toget her t hey wou ld provide a holistic picture of where we are i n border secu rit y,” said T heresa Ca rdinal Brown, director of immigration policy at the center. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel said the department is reviewing the report but was not commenting yet. T he study looks at d i f ferent i nd ic ator s t h at t he B order Pat r ol a nd it s p a r ent agencies use to determ i n e e s t i m at e s for everything from how many people enter the
county illegally each year to how many imm i g r a nt s s t ay p a s t t hei r a l lot t e d t i me. For example, the Department of Homeland Security relies on data from 1996 to calculate the percentage of imm i g r a nt s who overstay visas. Collecting more data could also better determine how m a ny p e ople a re i n the country illegally and recidivism rates for deportees. In genera l, the de partment doesn’t compi le or ma ke public enough data, the re port found. “ I f you r e qu i r e a reg u l a r set of me asu res, t he cha nces are greater that someb o d y ’s g o n n a g o , ‘Hey what’s going on t here? ’ W het her it’s internal or from the o u t s i d e ,” C a r d i n a l Brown said. Cardina l Brow n said the government
must dive deeper into u nderst a ndi ng what drives immigrants to come here. Customs a nd B or der P r ot e c tion, for example, collects monthly data on the number of immig rants caught crossing the border, their n at io n a l it y, g e n d e r and age. But that data isn’t always made public, nor is it examined i n a way t hat cou ld help predict trends before they happen, the study says. Case i n poi nt : t he tens of thousands of u n ac c omp a n ie d i mmigrant children who poured into the U.S. this summer. The numbers were so great that Border Patrol agents in Texas, where a vast majority of children came through, were illequipped and had to fly many of the children to a warehouse in Nogales, Ariz., where they were processed.

Graduation test officially gone with bill signing PHOENIX (AP) — The last vestige of Arizona’s high school graduation test requirement is gone with the signing of a bill repealing the need for current high school juniors and senior to pass in order to receive a diploma. Secretary of State Michele Reagan signed Senate Bill 1191 Friday in Gov. Doug Ducey’s absence. Ducey is in Washington, D.C., for a meeting of the nation’s governors. The Legislature eliminated the requirement for passage of the AIMS test last year, but current juniors and seniors still needed to pass. As of last fall, 33,000 hadn’t passed the math portion, 9,000 the reading part and 20,000 the writing test. Under the emergency legislation they are now exempt. The state Board of Education has adopted a new assessment test but it isn’t a graduation requirement.
Arizona to appeal case over denying licenses to immigrants PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is appealing a ruling that shelved its policy of denying driver’s licenses to young immigrants protected from deportation by the Obama administration. Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office says Friday that it will appeal an order barring the state policy. About 20,000 young immigrants in Arizona are protected from deportation under a 2012 program by the Obama administration. The immigrants started getting licenses two months ago. The denials were ordered by then-Gov. Jan Brewer, who cited a desire to reduce the risk of licenses being used to improperly access public benefits. Last summer, an appeals court concluded there was no legitimate state interest in treating the immigrants differently from other noncitizens who could apply for licenses. Instead, the court suggested Brewer’s policy was intended to express hostility toward the immigrants.
3 sentenced in brawl at Arizona State fraternity PHOENIX (AP) — Three men have been sentenced to probation, community service and deferred jail terms on convictions stemming from a 2013 brawl with members of an Arizona State University fraternity. Maricopa County Superior Court officials said judge Sherry Stephens sentenced Caleb James Everett, Isaiah Jerome Everett and Zachary Scott Rezendes on Friday. Tempe police said previously the suspects attacked Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity members on April 28 following a fight over a high school girl who attended a frat party. Police said Caleb Everett was the girl’s boyfriend. Caleb Everett pleaded guilty to assault and disorderly conduct, Isaiah Everett to disorderly conduct and aggravated assault.
Tucson school district pulls buses during fire investigation TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Tucson school district officials are pulling nearly a dozen school buses from circulation following a fire that occurred in one last week. The Arizona Daily Star reported (http://bit. ly/1zRR5il) Thursday that the Tucson Unified School District is setting aside 11 buses that are from the same manufacturer as a bus that caught fire Feb. 10. Nobody was aboard the bus at the time of the blaze in downtown Tucson. Officials say the buses are being pulled as a precaution. They were all obtained at the same time as the bus that burned. Firefighters say an electrical malfunction of an air conditioner switch caused the fire.

PHOE N I X (A P) — Arizona Republicans are pushing legislation to add a not her two seats to the state Supreme Cou r t, but court officials say the need just isn’t there. Rep.

Top soldiers, civilians honored at annual fort awards banquet BY DEREK JORDAN derek.jordan@svherald.com
FORT HUACHUCA — The best and brightest that Fort Huachuca has to offer were recognized for their exceptional achievements and abilities by post and community leaders during the annual installation awards banquet on Friday. Civilians and service members alike were singled out for demonstrating a commitment to excellence that benefit both the fort and greater community. “W hen you raised your right hand and said ‘I will support and defend,’ as a citizen, you decided to do more than your share of the task. As a family member, as a spouse, the kids of service members, you’re doing more than your share of the task,� said Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commanding general, US Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca. Those that make the commitment to join the armed forces and serve their country become a part of somet hi ng bigger t ha n t hemselves, becoming members of a family that stretches across conti nents a nd through generations. “Tonight we’re celebrating family and we’re celebrating leadership. We’re going to rec-
ognize some folks that excel, but everybody in here excels, you do it every day. Every family that is part of that excels every single day, in what you do,� Ashley said. In addition to the five Army units recognized for meeting or exceeding their retention goals this last fiscal year, eight individuals were honored for their achievements. Having joined the Army just over a year ago, Spc. Benjamin Sepulveda said he was honored to be recognized as Fort Huachuca’s Soldier of the Year. “To be recognized for what I do on a daily basis, which I think highlights the people I work for, my command, the sergeant majors, the 1st sergeants, all of the people that real ly have a f fected my life and pushed me to this point. It’s a real honor,� Sepulveda said. Knowing his peers work as hard as he does, Sgt. Bryan Hudson said he was especially grateful for being recognized as the post’s Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year. “It makes me feel really good about myself and my accomplishments. I know there are a lot of other great NCOs here on the post, and to be singled out and recognized, it’s just a tremendous feeling,� Hudson said. For his significant contributions to the work done at the

The top service members and civilians were honored during Friday’s Fort Huachuca Annual Installation awards ceremony, held at the Thunder Mountain Activity Center. Army’s Electronic Proving Ground, Richard Davis was recognized as the installation’s Civilian of the Year. Like his fellow award recipients, Davis was quick to point out that it was the hard work of many others that allowed him to achieve as much as he has. “We all know that, with these kinds of awards, it’s about the group of people behind the person who actually receives the award, and in this case it was no exception. The outstanding NCOs that I work with are the ones that set the groundwork in order for people like me to get my mission accomplished for the betterment of the soldiers. If it wasn’t for those outstanding NCOs, I never would have been awarded this recognition,� he said.
OTHERS HONORED DURING FRIDAY’S CEREMONY INCLUDE: * Cynthia Giesecke, Fort Huachuca Spouse of the Year * SFC Jakane Zahara, Fort Huachuca Instructor of the Year. Zahara serves with the 309TH Military Intelligence Battalion, 111TH Military Intelligence Brigade. * Sgt. Nancy Ruiz, Fort Huachuca Marine of the Year. Ruiz is part of a detachment serving on post comprised of more than 30 Marines. As the student control non-commissioned officer in charge, she mentored more than 10 students, helping 68 RQ-7B Shadow unmanned aerial systems repairers graduate. * Information Systems Technician 1st Class Mario Scheri, Fort Huachuca Sailor of the Year. Scheri is one of 32 Navy personnel stationed at Fort Huachuca and reports to the Joint Interoperability Test Command. * Sfc. Abram Moreno, the installation retention operations career counselor, received the Commanding General’s Retention Excellence Award. * Also recognized were several units for achieving 100 percent or more of their 2014 Fiscal Year retention objectives. Those units were: The 111TH Military Intelligence Brigade, The 62ND Army Band, The 18TH Military Police Detachment, The Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, and Headquarters and Headquarters Company, United States Army Intelligence Center of Excellence.

State seeks input on program for women, children County receives $50,000 each year for health program BY SHAR PORIER shar.porier@bisbeereview.net
BISBEE — Cochise He a lt h a nd Soci a l Services will be hosti n g t a l k s w it h t he Arizona Department of Health Services on the state of women’s and children’s health next month. On T hu r s d ay, March 12, numerous senior officials from the Arizona Department of Hea lth Serv i c e s (A D H S ) w i l l me et wit h cou nt y sta f f and fami lies to discuss the latest i n for m at ion on t he state of women’s and children’s health. “ We a r e t h r i l l e d that the state is coming down here,” said Mary Gomez, Director of Cochise Health and Social Ser vices (CHSS) in an interv iew. “ It g ive s t he families enrolled in the program the opp or t u nit y to of fer their insights and it

SPECIFICALLY, THE TITLE V MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH PROGRAM SEEKS TO: • Assure access to quality care, especially for those with low-incomes or limited availability of care. • Reduce infant mortality. • Provide and ensure access to comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care to women, especially low-income and at risk pregnant women. • Increase the number of children receiving health assessments and follow-up diagnostic and treatment services. • Provide and ensure access to preventive and child care services as well as rehabilitative services for certain children. • Implement family-centered, community-based, systems of coordinated care for children with special health care needs. • Provide toll-free hotlines and assistance in applying for services to pregnant women with infants and children who are eligible for Title XIX Medicaid. From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

For many years, Cochise County has benefited from Title V funding through the support of f a m i ly pl a n n i n g and home visiting for premature infants. State health departments a re requi red to assess the needs of
resident women and chi ld ren ever y f ive years and develop service priorities based on identi fied needs, she added. “A D H S h a s c o m pleted its data collection process, but officials desire to meet d i r e c t ly w it h b ot h t he m at er n a l ch i ld health professionals and families to obtain face-to-face feedback

ABOUT THE TITLE V MATERNAL AND HEALTH CARE PROGRAM Enacted in 1935 as a part of the Social Security Act, the Title V Maternal and Child Health Program is the Nation’s oldest Federal-State partnership. For over 75 years, the Federal Title V Maternal and Child Health program has provided a foundation for ensuring the health of the Nation’s mothers, women, children and youth, including children and youth with special health care needs, and their families. Title V converted to a Block Grant Program in 1981.
about what state and lo c a l gover n ment s shou ld b e doi n g t o a dd r e s s t he he a lt h needs of Arizona women and children,” Gomez stated. Actually, the Title V Maternal Child Health Gra nt i s t he oldest conti nua l sou rce of funding from the federal gover nment fo cused on women and chi ld ren, i ncludi ng children with special health care needs. The program was started back in 1935, she said. “It supports a vari-
ety of maternal and child health services throughout A rizona including: home visit at ion , i m mu n i z ations, oral health, preconception health and injury prevention efforts and family planning,” she continued. Cochise County r e sid e nt s a n nu a l ly receive over $ 50,0 0 0 of important program services via Title V funding, making this a crucial component of lo c a l pr event ive health care delivery, noted Gomez.
CONTRACTOR: Johnson was unaware of the problem until the notice of a lawsuit came from the clerk FROM PAGE A1 handle, stated Vail in a Sept. 3, 2014, letter to the city. “Once we got on the project and investigated the interior of the pi les, we discovered they contained heavy rock. We not be able to use the small scraper, wh ic h wou ld c au s e severe damage to it, a nd a l a rger loader would be required to due to the size of the rock. We u lti mately move d 4 , 9 6 6 c ubic
yards of material with t h e l a r g e r l o a d e r,” stated Vail. I n a l e t t e r s e e king equitable adjustment to PACE, Mary Doseth, Ashton vice president and project manager stated that t he compa ny had to le ave it s equ ipment on st a ndby for s everal months waiting for the existing overf low pools to dry out enough to support the equipment and the activities crews needed to do.
T h at adju st e d t he cost upward by some $ 1 3 , 17 9 , a c c o r d i n g to Vail. T hen t her e wa s a discrepancy with the type of roof to go on a metal building which also added $ 6,0 0 0 to the cost. When Ashton sent in the requests for payment upon completion of the projects to the city, for some reason, the bills were not paid. City Manager Jestin Johnson said in an interview Friday that he
believed the problem was caused by a lack of communication. “What’s supposed to happen is the bill is sent to Public Works a nd t hen on t o F i n a n c e ,” e x p l a i n e d Johnson. “The bill is supposed to go in my box for final approval and then is paid. That didn’t happen. I never saw the invoice or request for payment.” The interest charged by Ashton for the delay in pay ments is fai r, added Johnson.
“ We we r e luc k y t h e r e ,” c o n t i n u e d Johnson. “They could have cha rged us 1.8 percent, but on ly cha rged us one percent. And, if it were my company, I would want to be compensated for late payments.” Vail was also told, though by whom is not clear, that the city did not have t he money to pay his company. Since the project was bui lt i n pa r t wit h Water Infrastructure F i n a nc e Aut horit y
funds, one cannot simply say the city does not have the money, noted Johnson. Joh nson was u naware of the problem until the notice of a l aw s u it c a m e f r o m Clerk of the Superior Cou r t Ma r y El len Dunlap on Jan. 29. He went into action, noti f ied t he cou nci l and the city attorney and got the approval to pay the bill. Va i l was unabl e t o b e r e a c h e d for comment.

Arizona Senate panel wants voters to kill Clean Elections PHOENIX (AP) — A Republican-led effort to end public campaign financing in Arizona and siphon its money into education passed its first hurdle in the Legislature this week in the latest effort by the G OP law makers who oppose the voterapproved program. The four Republicans on t he Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance a referral asking voters to eliminate the Citizens Clean Elections Commission. The proposal would use the commission’s f u nd i n g t o supp or t schools. That’s about $8.5 million a year, collected from a surcharge on civ i l a n d c r i m i n a l fines, civil penalties paid by candidates and sm a l l cont ribution s candidates must collect to qualify for public funding.
T he voter referral sponsored by Sen. Steve Pierce, RPrescott, along with Senate President Andy Biggs a nd Rep. J.D. Mesnard, would land on the ballot in 2016 if the full Senate and House vote in favor of SCR1001. Pierce said more t ha n 15 yea rs a f ter voters created public campaign financing, it’s time to give them a chance to re-evaluate Clean Elections. “I think it’s fair to ask the voters to reevaluate the program and have them decide whether they want to spend money on politicians running for office or would they rather have the revenue and the funds going i nt o e duc at ion a nd classrooms,� he said Thursday. Commission Executive Director Tom Collins told the committee
that killing the commission would not only eliminate public campaig n f inancing but also end independent enforcement of campaign finance laws and the commission’s voter guides, public candidate debates and voter education efforts. He also said asking voters to choose between the commission and education is a false choice — especia l ly when Clean Elections gets less than $10 million a year in funding compared to $ 3.8 billion in state money to schools. “W hen you look at this bill it’s misleading, because it asks voters to choose between two different entirely unrelated policies and in fact goes so far as to say that there will be a thing that is called the Clean Elections Fund,� Collins said. “And that fund will have nothing
to do with elections.� E l e c t io n at t o r n ey Tim La Sota said the commission has tried to re -i nvent it sel f more on enforcement and failed, and voters should be asked if it should be eliminated. He noted that courts have eliminated matchi n g f u n d s fo r p a r ticipating candidates who are outspent by opponents. “I think it’s a very fair question whether this money should be spent somewhere else, rather than on elections for officials and some of the other things they spend, like million dollar ad campaigns that they run to promote themselves,� La Sota said. He also noted that there is an enforcement option through the Secretary of State’s office. Mesnard, who signed on as a spon-
We Make It EASY
sor to the bill, said the problem wit h Clea n E l e c t i o n i s t h at it makes politicians unaccountable, even to their own constituents. All a candidate has to do is raise a small number of $ 5 contributions to quality for public funding, not go out into the community and raise money
after convincing voters of their message. Me sn a r d ack nowledged there was strategy behind linking the repeal of the 1998 voter statute to education, but he said he didn’t think it was unfair. The proposal passed on a 4-3 party-line vote and now heads to the full Senate.

NASCAR suspended Kurt Busch indefinitely Friday after a judge said the former champion almost surely choked and beat a former girlfriend last fall and there was a “substantial likelihood” of more domestic violence from him in the future. In a stunning move two days before the season-opening Daytona 500, NASCAR said Busch would not be allowed to participate until further notice given the “serious nature of the findings and conclusions” made by a Delaware judge involving the driver known as “The Outlaw.”

Out of the zoo, into the wild for euphoric Colts
Buena won’t have raucous home crowd to lean on at Cholla tonight BY MATT HICKMAN matt.hickman@svherald.com
SIERRA VISTA — What’s been one of the most unpredictable of Dave Glasgow’s 11 seasons at the helm of the Buena High School boys basketball program, has a chance to also be the most memorable of his tenure, if the Colts can pull off an upset of 24-1 Cholla at Sean Elliott Gymnasium tonight. Thursday night, the Colts defied elimination time and time again to outlast Tucson High 57-56 in a first-round game, but they’ll have to play much better, and especially shoot the ball better, against a Cholla team that won’t make
the same mistakes the Badgers did. On the bright side for Buena, Tucson High, twice during the season, played Cholla extremely tough. At the MLK Classic on Jan. 19, Tucson played neck-andneck with the Chargers before self-destructing in the final minutes, and last Saturday in their section championship, the Badgers lost to Cholla by just two points. A s pr om i si n g a s t ho s e numbers might be for the prospects of a Colt upset, the number that leans most heavily against them, is the kind of showings they’ve had as a road team. At home, they’re 13-1, while on the road, 4-5, not counting

Dale Jr., Ives becoming power pair DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Greg Ives plopped down in his chair, let out a sigh of a relief and asked, “Am I in the Chase now?” Not quite. But the newest Hendrick Motorsports crew chief is off to a rousing start in his first season with NASCAR’s most popular driver and defending Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. With Ives tuning the No. 88 Chevrolet and calling the shots, Earnhardt won the first of two qualifying races at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday and will start third in the Daytona 500 on Sunday. It’s still way too early to assume the move will land Earnhardt in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for a fifth consecutive year or improve his chances of securing his first Cup championship. But getting off to a strong start can be pivotal for any relationship, and the driver-crew chief connection is arguably the most vital in auto racing. “The relationship is gell-
rticle XVII, Section XX, Part B of the NJCAA Code of Conduct: “The use of tobacco or alcohol during NJCAA sponsored events is prohibited.” So when Eastern Ea Arizona Ar College’s Co starting st pitcher pi took to to the mound in m the th second inning of in the th h first AILY ISH game of ga the th Gila M MATT HICKMAN Monsters game at ga Cochise College on Saturday with a big, honking dip in his mouth, the home plate umpire called time, walked to the mound, told the pitcher to spit the tobacco out of his mouth and promptly ejected him. Given baseball’s lengthy history with chewing tobacco, the rules are written harshly, so that when a player is ejected for tobacco use, he not only has to sit out the next game, so must his head coach. With Eastern’s ace out of commission, Cochise stormed to a 10-0 victory. In the second game, the Gila Monsters won 8-4, with head coach Jim Bagnall in the dugout. According to Cochise College head coach Todd Inglehart, neither Bagnall nor the umpire were apparently aware of the rule that when a player is ejected for chew, his coach goes with him. The ‘coach-goes-too’ stipulation is one the 15-year Cochise skipper finds absurd. “I’ve never seen that rule enforced, but it’s something I make clear to our players that not only do you get kicked out (for using chew), I do, too and that’s not going to happen,” Inglehart said. “It’s bad enough if you get kicked out, but if I have to go, that’s really bad.” On Wednesday, Inglehart reported, and, he believes, Bagnall self-reported the rules violation to the NJCAA and the Cochise defeat was reversed to a 9-0 Apaches win, improving their record in conference games to 3-1. The Apaches travel to Yuma today to take on Arizona Western College in a doubleheader starting at noon. ••• Meanwhile, the Cochise College basketball teams are at Central Arizona College today for games with major playoff ramifications. The Cochise men can all but wrap up the No. 2 seed for the NJCAA Division I Region I Playoffs, while the Apache women need a win against the conference’s best program year-after-year to maintain their onegame lead over Arizona Western for the third-andfinal playoff spot. The women tip off at 2, the men at 4. ••• The annual Cochise College Rodeo goes off at Fort Huachuca’s Wren Arena on March 7 and 8.

That left Eric Bledsoe as the lone member of the point guard trio remaining with Phoenix.

It’s on: Pacquiao-Mayweather on May 2 LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd M ay we at her Jr. w i l l me et Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in a welterweight showdown that will be boxing’s richest fight ever. Mayweather himself announced the bout Friday after months of negotiations, posting a picture of the signed contract online. “I promised the fans we would get this done and we did,” Mayweather said. The long anticipated bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will almost surely break every financial record, and make both boxers richer than ever. Mayweather could earn $120 million or more, while Pacquiao’s split of the purse will likely be around $80 million.
The fight, which matches boxing’s two biggest attractions of recent years, has been in the making for five years. It finally came together in recent months with both fighters putting aside past differences over various issues — including drug testing and television rights — to reach agreement. Pacquiao was sleeping in the Philippines when the fight was announced, but his camp issued a statement saying the fans deserve the long awaited fight. “It is an honor to be part of this historic event,” Pacquiao said. “I dedicate this fight to all the fans who willed this fight to happen and, as always, to bring glory to the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos around the
MLB makes small pace changes NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is slowly addressing the lagging pace of games. MLB and the players’ association announced an agreement Friday to enforce the rule requiring a hitter to keep at least one foot in the batter’s box in many cases. MLB also will post stadium clocks timing pitching changes and betweeninning breaks starting in spring training, and it no longer will require managers to always come onto the f ield when t hey re quest video reviews by
world.” While the fight rivals the 2002 heavyweight title bout between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson for interest, it comes more than five years after the first real effort to put the fighters together in their prime. Most boxing observers believe both have lost some of their skills, though Mayweather remains a master defensive fighter and Pacquiao showed in his last fight against Chris Algieri that he still has tremendous quickness in his hands. Still, Pacquiao is 36 and has been through many wars in the ring. And while Mayweather has been largely untouched in his career, he turns 38 on Tuesday.
Chargers, Raiders plan shared stadium in L.A. CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles is the hottest market for new stadiums in the country — and the NFL teams that could come with them — but the possibility that three teams will kick off in the region is a football fantasy, experts say. The Oakland Raiders, the San Diego Chargers and the St. Louis Rams each have gained a foothold in the L.A. area. The Raiders and Chargers announced Thursday that they are planning a shared stadium in Carson, in the Los Angeles suburbs, if both teams fail to get new stadiums in their current hometowns. Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a venture that wants to build an 80,000-seat stadium nearby, in Inglewood. But the sudden rush to L.A. is tempered by a 20-year history of disappointment for fans
— stadium proposals, complete with architectural renderings, have come and gone since the Rams and the Raiders f led Southern California after the 1994 season. Scheduling games is just one snag that would make the notion of three teams in the region unfeasible. The ChargersRaiders plan creates the odd prospect of divisional rivals suddenly sharing a home field. “There is no reason to believe there are three teams moving there. There is not even a reason to believe one team is moving there. They are not done deals,” warned Victor Matheson, a specialist in sports economics who teaches at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts. Football is a business. Each team can now return to its home market and say, “We have

a deal set up to move. Make me a better one to stay,” Matheson added. That was echoed by Chicagobased sports finance consultant Marc Ganis, who said three teams would slice up the market far too finely to make it work. Managing TV broadcasting alone would pose a problem. “No chance,” Ganis said, when asked about three teams settling in L.A. “There are some people who have had some doubts if the L.A. market will support one team. Some have even greater doubts it can support two teams. It certainly will not host three teams.” Earlier this month, the NFL sent a memo warning teams that the league itself will be behind any decision to move to the Los Angeles area, and established a committee of owners to review the options.

Readers weigh in on caregiving
BLONDIE
BORN LOSER
HERALD/REVIEW
DEAR ANNIE: I was interested in the letter from “Still Stressed Out,” who is the caregiver for parents who insist on remaining at home. You urged seniors capable of making their own decisions to look into continuingcare communities. Do you realize how much these communities cost? I have been doing research. Most CCRCs require a hefty buy-in fee and then a monthly fee. The fees increase as one moves from independent living to assisted living and then to nursing care. For those who cannot afford CCRCs, the financial burden might fall on the family. There are seniors who cannot depend on that support. There are others whose families are not in a position to help. These seniors may opt to stay in their own homes because they feel they have no other options. I, too, urge seniors who have the means to explore continuing-care options. I just wish you had raised your readers’ awareness as to how many people do not have those choices. — Another Senior in New York DEAR NEW YORK: Assisted living and nursing home care is not cheap. You are right that some continuing-care facilities are pricey. The expensive buy-in is intended to cover the increasing costs of care, and should the person die before using up the buy-in money, it is supposed to be refunded to the family. Nonetheless, most do require an initial outlay that not all folks have, although in many instances, it becomes affordable if these folks sell their homes. Some continuing-care facilities are straight rentals with no buy-in fees. But CCRCs were only one suggestion in our response. Those who don’t wish to move out of their homes can still do a great deal to make their houses more senior-friendly. Our readers had a great deal to
say on the subject of caregiving. Read on: FROM VIRGINIA: I feel sorry for those parents. “Stressed Out” is typical of so many people today: selfish and self-centered. Has she forgotten who took care of her when she NNIE S was a helpless infant? Who did without so she AILBOX would have anything she needed? Who put KATHY MITCHELL their personal life on AND MARCY SUGAR hold for her? I am the daughter of parents who gave everything to raise me. I frequently remind myself that turnabout is fair play. Texas: I sympathize with “Still Stressed Out.” Being the caregiver of a person who is selfish, depressed and won’t seek help is hard. Society is too quick to romanticize the caregiving of the elderly as rewarding and wonderful. That is not always the case. It is taboo to say that your elderly parents are a burden, when in fact, they are. If the senior is still capable of making decisions but refuses, then the caregiver doesn’t have any power, but still has to take on all of the responsibility. It is indeed stressful. CALIFORNIA: I am also a caregiver for my mother. The best thing I did was to get her a home companion four days a week. Because Mom was married to a veteran, she was able to receive a widow’s pension to cover the cost. When a parent wants to remain home, that is their right. I worked in a nursing home, and I would never put my mother in one.

Prepare your preschooler for arrival of new baby DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m expecting my second baby in a few months. Everyone’s excited except my 2-yearold son. What can I do to help my son look forward to the new arrival? DEAR READER: Your son has always gotten all the attention — and he probably assumed that he always would. I was the oldest child. My parents told me (many years later) that I wasn’t real excited that a new brother or sister was on the way. I find that hard to believe, of course. It’s no wonder that your son is not enthusiastic about a noisy, demanding baby that may steal the spotlight. He knows he’ll have competition for your attention and affections. He may even worry you’re thinking that the new model might replace the old model — him. The way you handle the pregnancy and first months of the new baby’s life can do much to reassure your son that he isn’t being replaced. Begin to prepare him now. The most important thing you can do is talk about the new baby, early and often. Get him used to babies by visiting a friend who has a baby. Let him know that, at first, the new baby may not recognize him, or want to play with him. But that when the baby gets a little older, he’ll have a wonderful playmate. Make any major changes to your son’s life now. For example, if it hasn’t already happened, start potty training well before the baby is due. Done early, these changes will be your son’s accomplishments. Done too close to the baby’s arrival, and these changes may be interpreted as the baby pushing him out of his normal routine. Involve your son in preparations. Ask his opinion about the names you’re considering, or have him choose the outfit the baby will wear
home from the hospital. Once the new baby arrives, include your son in the baby’s homecoming. Encourage him to talk to and touch the newborn. Ask for your son’s help and involve him SK R in the baby’s care. Having responsibilities can help your son feel DR. ANTHONY important. Ask him to KOMAROFF get a diaper for you or pick out clothes. A baby demands a lot of attention, but don’t allow your older child to feel neglected. Schedule special time with him. Expect — and indulge — some babyish behavior. After a newborn arrives, it’s not uncommon for children to return to thumbsucking, or for a toilet-trained child to have accidents. Don’t scold your son for these regressions. They’re likely to be short-lived. Allow your son to express negative emotions toward the baby. Explain that it’s OK to feel less than thrilled about the baby all the time. Finally, don’t ever miss an opportunity to praise your child. Reward efforts to be helpful, and acknowledge any positive things he says about the baby. Once my baby sister started to crawl, I became her guide and protector. I kept her from climbing the staircase, for example. Boy, were my parents lucky that she had an older brother to keep her safe!

EDITORS NOTE: MALLARD FILLMORE HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE OPINION PAGE
It seems hard to believe, but this is my 7,500th column. My first appeared on April 1, 1994. So, please excuse my featuring a deal that I declared. It was played during a Friday evening duplicate at the former Beverly Bridge Club in Manhattan. In the bidding, West used the Unusual No-Trump, in theory showing at least 5-5 in the minors. North’s three-spade response was forcing. Then, over East’s jump to five diamonds, I decided that six hearts rated to have play. How did I make the contract? West led the diamond two (in principle fourthhighest). East won with his ace and shifted to his club. Since I thought West had five diamonds for his overcall, I assumed he intended his diamond-two lead as a suit-preference signal for clubs. This left me confident that he could not have a spade void; with that, he would have led a high diamond. But perhaps he had a heart void. I won the second trick with my club ace, led a spade to dummy’s king, and called for the heart nine. If East had played low in tempo, I would have won with my ace and gone down. However, East, thinking it could not cost, covered with his
10. I won the trick, noting West’s discard, entered dummy with another spade, played a heart to my seven, drew trumps, ran the spades and claimed. That was a top because everyone else started trumps by cashing the ace, after which there was no recovery. If declarer calls for dummy’s top card in a suit and you have it surrounded, almost always it will be right to play low smoothly.
