New Mexico Senate approves $6B budget

SANTA FE (AP) — The state Senate unanimously approved a proposed $6.2 billion budget on Tuesday that would provide at least a 3 percent pay raise next year for New Mexico government workers and educators.

The budget is the main assignment for lawmakers in the 30-day session, which ends on Thursday.

The bill now heads to the House, which deadlocked earlier this month on a separate plan for financing the

state government.

The measure provides for a $293 million, or 5 percent, increase in spending on public schools, colleges and government programs — from prisons to health care — in the fiscal year starting July 1.

Democrats and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez have been at odds over spending on the governor’s education initiatives, including merit pay.

However, the Senatepassed bill made conces-

sions to the administration.

“While the gover nor remains concerned about the overall spending growth in this budget and its adverse impact on the state’s reserves, this budget does represent a compromise that properly acknowledges the importance of investing in education reforms and key job creation efforts, as well as efforts to expand New Mexico’s health care workforce in rural areas,” said Enrique Knell, a

spokesman for Martinez.

The budget plan allocates nearly $21 million for a broad range of programs to help recruit and retain teachers, assist struggling students and schools, and focus on dropout prevention and preparing students for college and careers.

The Public Education Department would have flexibility to distribute the money based on proposals submitted by local school districts, including possible

pay incentives.

Public schools account for the largest share of state spending — about $2.7 billion, or a 6.6 percent increase over current spending.

Most of the money will be distributed to schools through a funding formula that aims to equalize educational opportunities across the state.

The governor had asked lawmakers to provide a $55 million increase for targeted school improvement ini-

tiatives that would be allocated by her administration rather than funneling the money through the funding for mula, which leaves spending decisions to local districts.

The city received nearly two dozen applications to fill the position vacated when its planning director left last month, City Manager Larry Fry said Tuesday.

Planning Director Michael Vickers’ last day was Jan. 17. He accepted a position with a contracting and construction company in Lubbock.

Since advertising the position, 21 applicants from out of the area and locally have applied.

“I think it’s a very solid number we can work from,” Fry said. “We hope to have it filled in the next few weeks.”

See BUDGET, Page A3

The city had combined Vickers’ duties during his time with the city to include overseeing planning, zoning and support services departments. He worked his combined role as planning director for the past year. Additional personnel were added to other areas to cover duties after the two department head positions were combined, Fry said.

The new hire will fill the position, and will be called the planning and support services director.

Since Vickers’ departure, Sarah Juarez in support services and Louis Jaramillo in planning and zoning have picked up

Man shot by police Flynn confirmed as NMED secretary faces 3 charges of aggravated assault Spring has come early to Roswell as a butterfly floats from flower to flower in a garden, Tuesday morning.

JILL MCLAUGHLIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The man shot by Roswell Police on Thursday is facing aggravated assault charges, according to a police department news release.

Police identified the man on Tuesday as Alonzo Perez, 34, and said Perez faces charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer, aggravated assault against a household member, and aggravated assault.

According to police, Perez allegedly charged at a woman and her children with a knife.

The incident occurred on the 500 block of Redwood Street around 1 a.m. on Feb. 13.

A police officer, seeing that an immediate threat was not only posed to a woman and her children, but also to the officer, used his taser on Perez, but the taser was inef fective, according to police.

Subsequently, the officer shot Perez, who was taken to a local hospital for medical attention and was later flown out of town for further treatment.

After Perez was discharged from the hospital, he was incarcerated on a parole violation warrant.

Perez faces a $50,000 sure-

The New Mexico State Senate confir med R yan Flynn Tuesday as Secretary of the New Mexico Environment Department.

Flynn has acted as secretary-designate for the department since April, after he was selected by Gov. Susana Martinez to fill the vacancy.

Flynn served as general counsel and legislative coordinator for NMED prior to the appointment.

“I am humbled by the confidence Gov. Martinez has entrusted to me and by the confirmation that the New Mexico State Senate bestowed upon me,” Flynn said.

Flynn said his approach has always been to make sound and balanced deci-

sions by considering what was best for the environment in the state.

During a visit to Roswell last year, he said he was focused on water and groundwater issues, working with dairies and agriculture, and traveling to communities throughout the state.

“I’ve made a very concerted effort with the agricultural community of the state, which includes the animal agriculture industry,” Flynn said during the visit.

Martinez said Flynn brought a balanced approach to environmental issues, basing decisions on sound science and input from all parties.

“Secretary Flynn has shown himself to be a dependable leader for the New Mexico Environment

Department,” Martinez said in a release.

Flynn’s confir mation was passed by a 30-11 vote.

State Sen. Carroll Leavell, R-Jal, said Flynn had proven himself as an outstanding regulator.

“Ryan has proven to be fair and even-handed in

his regulation of our oil, gas and dairy industries in Southeastern New Mexico,” Leavell said. “Now that he has been confirmed by the New Mexico Senate, I expect him to continue to encourage a businessfriendly atmosphere for our businesses at the Environment Department.”

Second ‘Meet with Police Chief’ event set for Friday

The residents of Roswell had an opportunity to meet then-new Roswell Chief of Police Phil Smith in November. That event was hosted by the Roswell Neighborhood Watch organization, and was held at the Roswell High School Little Theatre. While attendance was not as large as many anticipated, it was a good and worthwhile activity, with approximately 75 in attendance.

Before that meeting in November, publicity mostly revolved around the benefits of setting up

a Neighborhood Watch in the various neighborhoods around town.

It is certain that no police force can ever have officers on every corner, and so it becomes important for residents to watch out for each other.

Steve Wolfe, an adviser for Neighborhood Watch, commented that “we should know about our neighbors — what cars they drive, who their kids are, what their work habits are, and what is normal in our neighborhood. By knowing some of those types of

things, we can play an important part in the safety of our immediate community.”

There will be another similar event with the police chief at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, this time at the Boys & Girls Club of Roswell, located at 201 S. Garden Ave. This particular meeting, however, is more focused on giving residents an opportunity to meet Chief Smith, rather than on the intricacies of setting up a watch organization.

Since he has now been on the

Roswell Daily Record

job for a few months, it is likely that the chief has formed some more distinct thoughts and ideas concerning crime and safety in Roswell.

Attending this meeting, which has been encouraged by Chief Smith, will enable citizens to hear and participate firsthand.

Richard Lucero, an adviser to Neighborhood Watch, retired RPD commander, and lifetime resident of Roswell, encourages people from all parts of the city to attend.

“Crime affects all of us in the community,” he says, “No matter where we live, if we are proactive, we can impact that crime. Participating in events like this is beneficial to us individually and as a city.”

Wolfe and Lucero echo their intent for this meeting to be a citywide gathering. To further facilitate an exchange of ideas, there will be a bilingual translator available for questions to the chief and for the answers he may provide.

Woman pleads no contest in child abuse case Man found stuck JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Charity Calvert-Romero, 32, pleaded no contest on Feb. 7, in 5th District Court to charges of intentional abuse (without death or great bodily har m), a third-degree felony, and obstructing an investigation of child abuse, a misdemeanor.

The charges stem from an incident that took place on June 10, 2013, when deputies from the Chaves County Sherif f’s Of fice found a 5-year-old autistic child barricaded in her room. Deputies arrived at the West Hobson home around 7:45 p.m., after a reported domestic disturbance.

According to the affidavit of criminal complaint, both parents were so intoxicated they were unable to stand.

Deputies saw the child crying through a window on the southwest side of the house. When of ficials attempted to check on the 5-year-old, Calvert blocked the door and had to be led away.

Sgt. Scott Ouilette entered the building and located the girl, who was

trapped in a room where a series of child gates had been screwed over the opening to prevent her from leaving.

“She could not get out.

We had to rip the cage down to get to her,” Chief Deputy Britt Snyder said.

In a previous interview, Snyder said she fell into Ouilette’s arms when she was released.

“The caging was a big concern. She had no way to escape in case of fire, no way to get water, no way to escape the heat, and it was hotter inside the home than outside.”

The court records report that the temperature inside the residence was 105 degrees and the child’s room had no ventilation.

MINIMUM WAGE HIKE HEADS TO HOUSE

SANTA FE (AP) — A proposal to boost the state’s minimum wage to an estimated $8.30 an hour next year is heading to the House for consideration.

The measure, which already has passed the Senate, is a top priority for many Democrats in the 30-day legislative session that ends on Thursday.

The House Voters and Elections Committee approved the measure Tuesday on a party-line 6-4 vote, with Republicans in opposition and

Title 8, Chapter 10 of the Children’s Code, Section 32A-4-2(B) NMSA 1978, defines an abused child as one “who has suffered or who is at risk of suffering serious harm because of the action or inaction of the child's parent, guardian or custodian…. [or] whose parent, guardian or custodian has knowingly, intentionally or negligently placed the child in a situation that may endanger the child's life or health; or whose parent, guardian or custodian has knowingly or intentionally ... cruelly confined or cruelly punished the child.”

House Bill 411, proposed

by Sen. John C. Ryan (RDistrict 10) in January, 2013, would have included the exposure to the inclemency of the weather, such as the heat found inside the home, as part of the charge. However, the bill was postponed indefinitely in February that same year.

Of ficials observed deplorable conditions inside the residence, filth, feces, cockroaches and dirty dishes scattered around the house and inside the room. Food was slid to the child through a

New Mexico’s minimum wage has been $7.50 an hour since 2009.

The proposed constitutional amendment would adjust the minimum wage for inflation since 2009 — setting it at an estimated $8.30 starting in July 2015.

The minimum wage would increase annually for inflation, which happens now in 10 other states. However, the rate couldn’t go up more than 4 percent a year.

Snyder said then that a second door leading into the room had also been nailed shut, as was the closet door. The bedroom window was broken; it was covered with a board nailed up to the outside of the building.

Calvert defended the use of barricades “because (the girl) was autistic and doesn’t understand danger.”

On June 14, 2013, Chaves County Sheriff’s Of fice arrested both the mother and father, Edward Romero, 63. They were taken to Chaves County Detention Center, with a $500,000 cash or surety bond on each of them.

“She (Calvert) has been in jail since June of 2013,” said Snyder.

Calvert’s sentencing hearing will be held on Feb. 24. She may face three years in prison, plus a possible fine of $5,000, for the charge of child abuse (cruelly confined), a thirddegree felony, another year for the misdemeanor charge of obstruction, or four years if the two sentences run consecutively.

Romero’s jury trial is scheduled for May 18.

will be placed on the November general election ballots for voters to decide.

The proposal will need the support of 36 House members, which could be difficult because two Democrats have been absent from the session for health reasons. Democrats hold a 3733 advantage when all members are voting.

Sen. William Soules, a Las Cruces Democrat sponsoring the proposal, said a higher wage would help New Mexico’s economy.

STATE BRIEFS

House passes ‘Omaree’s Law’

SANTA FE (AP) — The House has passed legislation that would allow New Mexico’s child welfare agency to immediately take custody of children when there are certain signs of physical abuse.

The measure passed late Tuesday on a 52-11 vote and now goes to the Senate for consideration.

It’s dubbed “Omaree’s Law” for the 9-year -old Albuquerque boy allegedly kicked to death by his mother in December.

Police had contact with Omaree Varela and his family at least three times in the year leading up to his death. The reports were investigated but the Children, Youth and Families Department says it had no open cases at the time of the boy’s death.

If the bill’s adopted, legislative analysts estimate CYFD would need five times the resources it has now, including an additional 4,000 full-time employees.

Each year, state and local CASA organizations represent nearly a quarter of a million children who are caught up in the legal system.

“We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed their pennies, dimes and nickels and dollars, plus their coin collections,” Goff said. “We also thank the public, who deposited their coins in the containers around town.

Without you, we could not have done this.”

Gof f also wanted to thank the Methodist pastors for their support — Jim Bignell of Aldersgate and Dexter; Doug Mills of First United and Glenn Thyrion of Trinity.

The measure cleared its final hurdle in the Legislature on Tuesday when it passed the House 62-1. It was previously approved by the Senate.

The proposal will prohibit drivers from sending or reading text messages and emails, or making Internet searches from smartphones or other handheld wireless devices. There would be a $25 fine for a first violation and $50 for subsequent violations.

Forty-one other states ban texting by all drivers.

New Mexico already prohibits texting for teenage drivers with a learner’s or provisional license.

House OKs Navajo gambling compact

SANTA FE (AP) — A proposed tribal-state gambling compact that would allow the Navajo Nation to open additional casinos cleared the House on Tuesday. But one more hurdle remains before the Legislature adjourns this week.

The compact must be approved by the House and Senate, as well as the U.S. Interior Department, to take effect.

The House approved the proposal on a 36-30 vote and sent it to the Senate to consider as the legislative session neared an end. ness environment,” said Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat and chairman of the committee that assembled the budget.

The bill also provides $11.5 million to help shor e up a lotteryfinanced college scholarship program.

The measure provides for 3 percent cost-of-living salary increases for state agency workers, called Faith and Promise United Methodist Women, and has 30 members.

“By combining our resources, we are able to achieve much more,” King said. “We went from a group of three or four women in different churches to a combined group of 30 women.”

The mission of the group is to focus on women, children and teens, and mission goals include local, state, national and international needs, Goff said.

Meetings of Faith and Promise UMW are held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings at Peachtree Village.

“Gatherings start at 9:30 for fellowship and business meeting including devotions start promptly at 10 a.m.,” Gof f said. “All women with a heart for missions are invited to join us. They do not need to belong to the Methodist Church.”

Sheriff: Dogs attack goats, alpacas

SANTA FE (AP) — The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office says a pair of dogs has killed two goats and eight alpacas.

Authorities say the alpacas’ owner reported seeing two dogs attacking the alpacas early Saturday in the La Puebla area.

Sherif f Robert Garcia says the owner shot one of the dogs but the other escaped.

Garcia says the same dogs are suspected of killing two goats in Santa Fe County.

Garcia says that Santa Fe County Animal Control was able to scan the dead dog’s body for a microchip and identify its owner.

The sherif f said the owner of the shot dog was cited for 15 violations, including having a vicious dog.

Shiprock man pleads guilty in arson case

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Shiprock man has pleaded guilty to setting fire to his former girlfriend’s rented home in New Mexico and is facing up to a life prison sentence.

Prosecutors say 32-yearold Dan Curtis Thompson pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal arson charge.

Thompson was arrested last October for allegedly setting fire to a rental unit teachers and other educational employees next year.

However, there would be larger raises for certain gover nment jobs, including 8 percent for judges, district attorneys, state police and motor transportation officers.

Thompson says he broke a window so he could unlock the door and enter the home.

He says he poured gasoline inside, started a fire and then fled. His ex-girlfriend wasn’t injured.

Woman accused of passing fake checks

LAS CRUCES (AP) — Authorities have arrested a woman suspected of passing phony checks at a Las Cruces-area convenience store.

Las Cruces police say 28-year -old Laura E. Maestas is being held on suspicion of three counts of forgery.

Roswell training officer, McGruff visit Girl Scouts

A group of local Girl Scouts learned about safety when they met with Roswell Police Department Recruiting/Training Officer Lisa Brackeen on Friday.

Officer Brackeen spoke with the youngsters about safety issues, such as wearing seatbelts, and “stranger danger.” She also raised the point of minding parents.

“It’s important to listen to your parents,” Brackeen said. “Your parents aren’t trying to be mean when they say ‘no, you cannot go with your friend to that place,’ they just want you to be safe.”

Brackeen was joined by McGruf f the Crime Dog. Some of the Girl Scouts’ eyes grew wide at seeing McGruff enter the room,

while one shrieked in fright.

The scared young girl quickly war med up to McGruff, gave him a ‘highfive,’ and had her photo taken with the crime dog.

The Girl Scouts each received a reusable water bottle. The safety presentation was a joint ef fort between the Roswell Police Department and the Roswell Neighborhood Watch.

OPINION

Michele Bachmann: Undeterred and undiminished

With less than a year left in her fourth and final term in Congress, it’s a little early for an exit interview, but not too early to get the views of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) on issues dear to a “founding mother” of the tea party movement and on how to beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, if the Democrat decides to run.

Bachmann remains confident and resolute despite many political setbacks. We met in her office while much of Congress was fleeing the Capitol building ahead of a major stor m that eventually dumped a foot of snow on Washington. The snow was a big deal to residents of the nation’s capital, but little more than flurries to a Minnesotan like Bachmann.

Bachmann is made of sterner stuf f and has time and time again stood up for her social and economic principles, refusing to compromise on them despite sometimes strong opposition from within her own party’s leadership.

For a truly conservative agenda to advance, she believes, voters will have to send to Washington more people with a biblical worldview. That is a difficult task, given the growing secularization of the country, especially; it appears, among the young. She acknowledges “politics is downstream from culture.

It merely reflects what is going on (in society).”

If Republicans nominate a male presidential candidate in 2016, how should he run against Hillary Clinton, if she is the Democratic nominee?

Bachmann was the only female GOP candidate in the race when she ran for president in 2012. She says, “Two things that need to be done: Remind people (Clinton) is seeking to

become commander in chief (and look at) how she has operated in the past with these types of responsibilities. She was in charge during the Benghazi debacle. If a person reads the Senate Intelligence (Committee) report and the House Foreign Af fairs (Committee) report released (last) week, it is damning for Hillary Clinton.”

Bachmann says Clinton testified before Congress that she was “aware” of the deteriorating conditions in Benghazi but did nothing. “She has a real problem when it comes to Benghazi,” says Bachmann. Clinton, she adds, must answer for what happened.

In addition, she says, Clinton is “the godmother of Obamacare,” trying “behind closed doors” to push through something similar when Bill Clinton was president.

Maybe such an approach will work, but would the lure of the “first female president” overcome these concerns in voters’ minds?

Bachmann says: “Effectively she

would be Obama’s third and fourth ter m in of fice.” That might scare enough people to vote for the Republican nominee.

Bachmann says a lot of people “aren’t ready” for a female president. “I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt.”

(Presumably she means because of slavery and the lengthy denial of civil rights to blacks.) “People don’t hold guilt for a woman,” she says, adding that while people vote for women for virtually every other office “I don’t think there is a pent-up desire” for a woman president.

She says while Obama was “new and different,” Hillary Clinton has been around a long time and is less likely to stir the juices as Obama did.

It may be time to test that theory.

EDITORIAL

National Guard recruiting fraud needs full accounting U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill is once again using the auditor skills she honed while an elected of ficial in Missouri. Ms. McCaskill's Senate subcommittee on financial and contracting oversight is investigating a $29 million Army fraud that involves illegal recruiting bonuses paid to certain National Guard members.

It's the worst kind of fraud, one that uses the cover of the military bureaucracy to steal from taxpayers while brave soldiers and Marines were still humping packs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"These are criminals that have dishonored the uniform," Ms. McCaskill says.

Indeed.

Her committee should follow the investigation down whatever dark trails it leads.

The guilty must be punished, and that includes those at the highest level of government who allowed the fraud to be perpetrated.

According to Ms. McCaskill's investigators, Missouri has 18 current or former National Guard recruiters implicated in the fraud, more than any other state except for California and Texas.

The Guard's complicated relationship with the Army is partly to blame for the fraud, which took place between 2005 and 2012.

The Recruiting Assistance Program paid bonuses of between $2,000 and $7,500 per recruit at a time when the military was struggling to fill its ranks during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out, however, that millions of dollars in bonuses were paid for recruits who were already going to join the Army.

Because each state's National Guard reports to an adjutant general, oversight of such a program varied by state. Adjutants general are appointed by governors, and thus have a special political relationship that is different than other generals.

To better understand how such fraud can go undetected for many years, look no further than the Missouri National Guard's history of cover -ups or blatant disregard for Army regulations when it comes to discrimination complaints.

Last month, the Columbia Daily Tribune's Rudi Keller reported on yet another such case, building on years of reporting on the issue in the Post-Dispatch and the T ribune. Lt. Col. Michael Fayette has accused Missouri Adjutant General Steve Danner and his former chief of staff, Col. Wendul Hagler, of a campaign of "reprisal, retaliation, intimidation and harassment" against officers who have complained of being discriminated against. The Department of Defense is investigating, according to the Tribune.

Maj. Gen. Danner, and generals before him in Missouri, have faced this complaint before. One such complaint, filed by a black captain more than a decade ago, led to several officers being punished by the National Guard for covering up a botched investigation.

State adjutants general, and those Guard officers who want to rise to that position, serve two masters, the Army and the state's political system. Too often, as when the Guard tried to hide allegations of looting by some of its soldiers after the Joplin tornado in 2011, high-ranking officers try to protect their governor from bad publicity rather than follow the regulations and just plain good sense that should guide their actions, both as military officers and public officials.

In the case of the recruiting fraud, about 1,200 soldiers and civilians are under investigation, including 200 officers and at least one general.

Ms. McCaskill's committee should not rest until those at the upper end of the hierarchy have paid a price for failing to honor the uniform and protect taxpayers from fraud.

A public lesson in personal humility MARK SHIELDS CREATORS SYNDICATE It probably would be fair to say that in early 1981 I was more than a little self-satisfied. Having worked in four presidential campaigns before becoming an editorial writer for the Washington Post with my own column, I had, thanks to the kindness of an old friend, presidential Press Secretary Jim Brady, been given, just 12 days after the inauguration, one of the first one-onone White House interviews with new president Ronald Reagan.

I spent 40 minutes in the Oval Office asking the presi-

Doonesbury

In yesterday’s column, a reader asked whether she should be tested for genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

Today, I thought I’d give you my view on the larger question: Will studies of our genes change the practice of medicine and improve our lives?

My answer: During my career, progress in human genetics has been greater than virtually anyone imagined. However, human genetics also has turned out to be much more complicated than people imagined. As a result, we have not moved as rapidly as we had hoped in changing medical practice.

dent about the influence of sports in his own life. I had thoroughly prepared for the session by interviewing friends, colleagues and even old college football teammates of the man af fectionately known as the “Gipper” for his movie portrayal of Notre Dame halfback George Gipp. For example, they knew that the Little 19 Conference of which Eureka College, Reagan’s alma mater, was a member actually had 21 schools in it.

It was not my first time interviewing Reagan. But I felt this preparation had paid off, that there was rapport between us, and that, immod-

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

I graduated from medical school in the late 1960s. We knew what human genes were made of — DNA — and we were beginning to understand how genes work. We had even identified a handful of genes that were linked to specific diseases. We assumed that

estly, I had even been able to slightly pierce the legendary Reagan reserve to get him to open up a little about himself.

The interview was the cover story in the March issue of Inside Sports magazine with a national circulation of 500,000. The Washington Post printed the interview on its front page. Did I mention something about my level of self-satisfaction?

Fast forward five years, and Tom Brokaw, one of journalism’s good guys, was preparing to tape a White House interview with Reagan that would be shown on NBC just prior to the kickoff of the 1986

Super Bowl game on that network. Brokaw, who called beforehand to ask a couple of questions, pleased me by saying that out of all his research, he had found my interview with the president the most helpful.

Frankly curious, I had asked Reagan how he had achieved the self-confidence in the middle of the Great Depression as a new college graduate — when the U.S. economy had actually shrunk by half, and when one out of four heads of household was unemployed — to get, with no

disease resulted from an abnormality in the structure of a gene.

If I had asked any biologist on the day I graduated, “Will we ever know how many genes we have, and the exact structure of each gene?” I’ll bet the answer would have been: “Not in my lifetime, or my children’s lifetime.”

They would have been wrong. Today we do know those answers. Indeed, some diseases are caused by an abnormality in the structure of genes. In fact, sometimes it is very simple: one particular change at one particular spot in just one particular gene

leads to a specific disease.

Sickle cell anemia is an example.

Unfortunately, with most diseases it’s far from that simple. The first complexity: Most diseases are influenced by the structure of multiple genes, not just one. Examples are diabetes and high blood pressure.

The second complexity: Many diseases are explained not by an abnor mal gene structure, but by whether genes are properly turned on or off. Most cancers fall into this category.

‘If you like your country, you can keep your country?’

Roswell Daily Record

After around 20 to 30 excuses/denials from his “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance plan,” President Obama finally admitted he was wrong (couched with another attempt to misdirect). We now know Obama’s statement was a lie.

Many Democrats (particularly those running for re-election this November) now admit it was, and they are trying to distance themselves from the health care disaster getting increasingly worse every day. Even the plan engineer creating the “guts” of the ACA program admitted things are not going as planned. Before Obama declares “If you like your country, you can keep your country,” we (all) need to stop this insanity by getting rid of those politicians who still claim Obamacare is a “good thing,” and fix it before it rips our country apart.

Obama keeps saying “The Republicans want to change the

law, but only Congress can change a standing law, so they need to give up on that threat.

Besides, they don’t of fer any solutions to our health care problem!” Once again our so called leader has “mis-spoken”(or for those who don’t hide behind “political correctness,” he lied).

He, himself, has changed Obamacare 58 times through executive orders (not through Congress), essentially lying 58 times.

Also, Republicans (the House of Representatives) have submitted 78 alternative plans, or fixes, to the Senate for approval, only to have Harry Reid and his Democrat majority table every one of

them (killing them on arrival).

Then Obama says, “The Republicans want to repeal or change the ACA, yet they offer no plans to correct their (perceived) problems with the ACA.” Anyone not brainwashed knows this as a lie (see 78 alternatives above).

Speaking of executive orders, Obama said many times during his campaigns for election (verifiable by video) that he would not make laws from his White House.

Another lie. To quote him from several videos I recently watched, “ the biggest problem we are facing right now is George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the White House, and not go through Congress at all.

That is what I intend to reverse when I become president of the United States of America.” (July 2007).

“I respect the Constitution of the United States. The first thing I will do when I take office is to call in my Attorney General and have him review every executive order George Bush issued, and

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

get rid of those that go against the Constitution or were written to go around Congress and make laws from the White House. I will not allow that in my administration.” (August 2007). There were many other identical campaign speeches saying the exact same thing, all on video. However, just on the Obamacare law alone, as stated above, Obama has issued 28 major executive orders (changing) the law. That is 58 verifiable lies on just one issue. Other executive orders he pledged not to create were: (1) Changing immigration policy without congressional action, (2) Raising the federal minimum wage for a specific class of government workers, etc.

The president’s “party faithful” argue Obama hasn’t issued as many EO’s as good old “Dubya.”

The number doesn’t matter. It’s constitutional law being changed by the White House that is the issue! Of major concern, Bush wasn’t turning his back on our constitution. Obama is, without

Pet of the Week

a doubt. Regardless of party affiliation, we all need to wake up and start eliminating politicians that have a habit of lying and doing severe damage to our country. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to impeach Obama since the Senate (having the only power to impeach) is controlled by Democrats. But we do have midterm elections coming up this November, so we can start eliminating politicians who fit this president’s mold of deceitful practices.

As I have quoted before, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!” Let me add, fool me 58 times on only one issue, shame on me for being irreversibly (brainwashed)! What about the upcoming November elections? I have some absolutely verifiable, specific reasons why we need to “clean house” in NM’s federal group of representatives.

As I said, we don’t want to hear what could be the next lie, “if you like your country, you can keep your country.” God bless.

experience and no contacts, a glamorous job as a radio announcer.

Reagan had paused, appearing to wonder himself how it all had happened. A little haltingly, he recalled the audition where they “stood me in front of the first microphone I’d ever seen” and told me to broadcast “an imaginary football game.”

He remembered a game from the previous season “that we won in the last 20 seconds,” and even his own descriptive language about “the chill wind blowing in through the stadium,” and then confessing to me with a

What do I mean by that? Every cell in our body has the same set of genes. Yet, a cell in our eye that sees light is different from a cell in our stomach that makes acid. Why? Because different genes are turned on in each type of cell.

Similarly, if a gene with a normal structure is not properly turned on or of f, a cell can malfunction — it can become diseased.

Whether a gene is turned on properly is proving to be a more important cause of disease than we once imagined.

The third complexity: We have 10 times as many bacterial cells living on and inside our body as there are cells in our body. And the genes of those bacterial cells — not just the genes in our

grin, “We didn’t have a stadium; just a grandstand.”

At the conclusion of his 1986 Super Bowl interview, after Brokaw had thanked him for his time, Reagan asked: “Do I have a second so that I could tell you a little incident in my memories of football?”

Of course, the president, with the familiar pauses he had used in my 1981 Inside Sports interview, talked about his audition when “they told me to stand in front of a microphone and imagine a football game and broadcast it on radio.” Remarkably, he remembered “there were 20 seconds to play,” and even his language about “ the chill wind coming in through own cells — affect our health, perhaps profoundly. Bacterial genes may play an important role in obesity, heart disease, even autism spectrum disorders.

So, am I discouraged about whether progress in human genetics will improve our lives? To the contrary, I’m more convinced than ever that it will. We are already seeing earlier and more accurate diagnosis and prognosis and improved treatments.

And just as 40 years ago very few would have imagined what has been achieved by 2014, very few today can imagine what will be achieved in the next 40 years.

I remember sitting stunned in 1986 as I watched the president’s almost gesture-for -gesture-, word-for -word replay of the “answers” I had so cleverly elicited from a tentative Reagan five years earlier. I was forced to admit, humbly , that I had been outwitted and buf faloed by the Great Communicator.

Iran at talks: Not scrapping any nuclear facility Roswell Daily Record

VIENNA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iran drew a red line on Tuesday on how far it would go at landmark nuclear talks, saying as the meeting opened that it would not buckle to pressure from the U.S. and five other world powers to scrap any of its nuclear facilities.

The statement by Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested tough talks ahead, constituting a rejection of a central demand by the six countries.

At the same time, neither side can af ford to

have the talks fail.

Lack of agreement would leave Iran struggling under the weight of harsh economic sanctions and a threat of military strikes

by Israel, which sees Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program as an unacceptable security threat primarily designed to develop weapons.

The United States has promised to protect Israel, but said more time is needed for diplomacy and sanctions to try to reduce the threat Israel faces from Iran.

The talks are designed to

Many heeded his call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This looks like a war against oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own people,â&#x20AC;? said Dmytro Shulko, 35, who was heading toward the camp armed with a fire bomb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we will defend ourselves.â&#x20AC;?

As police dismantled some of the barricades on the perimeter of the square and tried to push away the protesters, they fought back with rocks, bats and fire bombs. Against the backdrop of a soaring monument to Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence, protesters fed the burning flames with tires, creating walls of fire to prevent police from advancing.

Riot police attack Kiev protest camp

The violence was the deadliest in nearly three months of anti-government protests that have paralyzed Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital in a struggle over the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity, and the worst in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-Soviet history.

They seek an agreement that will leave Iran with little capacity to quickly

Maduro,â&#x20AC;? Lopez told the sea of supporters who were dressed in white to symbolize non-violence.

Venezuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red, yellow and blue flag hung from his shoulders.

The U.S.-educated Lopez was taken to a military base outside the capital.

His Popular Will party says he was expected to appear before a civilian judge Wednesday on charges that include homicide and inciting violence during protests last week in which three people were killed as gover nment forces clashed with protesters.

The threat of more violence hung over Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demonstration as Maduro led a rival march to denounce what he calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fascistâ&#x20AC;? plot to overthrow him.

ramp up its nuclear program into weapons-making mode with enriched uranium or plutonium, which can be used for the fissile core of a missile.

For that, they say Iran needs to dismantle or store most of its 20,000 uranium enriching centrifuges, including some of those not yet working. The six powers also demand that an Iranian reactor being built be either scrapped or converted from a heavywater setup to a lightwater facility that makes less plutonium.

Iran is desperate to shed nearly a decade of increasingly strict sanctions on its oil industry and its financial sector in exchange for meeting the six-power demands. But it is fiercely opposed to any major scaling back of its nuclear infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dismantling (the) nuclear program is not on the agenda,â&#x20AC;? Araghchi told reporters in Vienna.

The talks are for mally led by Catherine Ashton, the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top foreign policy official, and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad

Javad Zarif. The United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany are also at the table.

Ashtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman, Michael Mann, warned of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;intensive and difficult work lying ahead of us.â&#x20AC;?

Araghchi said the talks got of f to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;very good beginning.â&#x20AC;? But he tempered expectations, saying that even if the negotiations end later this week with nothing more than a future agenda â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Sochi tension: Pussy Riot members briefly detained AP Photo

Russian punk group Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, in the blue balaclava, and Maria Alekhina, in the pink balaclava, make their way through a crowd after they were released from a police station, Tuesday.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russian punk group Pussy Riot burst onto the Olympic scene Tuesday when two of its members were picked up by police in host city Sochi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then ran away defiant down a rainsoaked street a few hours later, shouting and wearing their trademark garish balaclavas.

The police questioning of Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognizable punk rockers, along with detentions of gay rights and other activists in recent days, brought political tensions to the fore at Vladimir Putinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showcase Winter Olympics.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, along with seven others, were held by police near Sochiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ferry terminal, a popular area for fans celebrating the

No charges were filed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putin will teach you how to love the motherland!â&#x20AC;? the women chanted on leaving the police station, their fists in the air and blue, pink and orange ski masks concealing their faces.

Pussy Riot gained international attention in 2012 after barging into Moscowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main cathedral and performing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;punk prayerâ&#x20AC;? in which they entreated the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was on the verge of returning to the Russian presidency for a third term.

Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sentenced to two years in prison, but were released in December

under an amnesty bill seen as a Kremlin effort to assuage critics of its human rights record before the Olympics. Both women called for the boycott of the Sochi Games.

Tolokonnikova said Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detention followed three days of police harassment. She also said the two band members were detained for several hours the previous two days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We members of Pussy Riot have been here since late Sunday and we were constantly detained since then,â&#x20AC;? Tolokonnikova said after her release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are constantly surrounded by people, not you journalists, but people who are shadowing us, following our every move and looking for any excuse to detain us.â&#x20AC;?

OBITUARIES

Famed Montreal-born writer Gallant dies TORONTO (AP) — Mavis Gallant, the Montreal-born writer who carved out an international reputation as a master short-story author while living in Paris for decades, died Tuesday at age 91, her publisher said.

The bilingual Quebecoise started out as a journalist and went on to publish well over 100 short stories in her lauded career, many of them in The New Yorker magazine and in collections such as “The Other Paris, “Across the Bridge” and “In Transit.”

Random House in Canada confirmed the death, saying she died in her Paris apartment Tuesday morning.

American author Joyce Carol Oates compared

Gallant to another Canadian short story master, Alice Munro, who captured the 2013 Nobel Prize for literature.

“Mavis Gallant enormous influence on Alice Munro,” Oates wrote on Twitter. “Perhaps the Nobel Prize should have been shared at no loss to two great Canadian writers.”

Munro herself said: “Mavis Gallant was a marvelous short story writer and a constant hopeful influence on my life.”

Gallant’s following in the United States remained small. Many of her books remain out of print, short stories tend not to be best sellers and as a Canadian living in Paris she often wrote about foreign cultures.

Another Canadian literary luminary, Margaret Atwood, tweeted: “Very sad to hear that MavisGallant has died... wonder ful, scrappy person, wonderful writer, fascinating life.”

Born Mavis Leslie Young in Montreal in 1922, Gallant was an only child in an English-speaking Protestant family that splintered: her father died when she was young, and her mother remarried.

Starting from age 4, she was dispatched to numerous boarding schools in Canada and the U.S. Many were French-speaking, and she was usually the only English speaker.

After graduation, Gallant returned to Montreal and landed an entry-level stint at the National Film Board and then a job as a

Roswell Daily Record

reporter for the Montreal Standard.

Gallant married Winnipeg musician John Gallant in 1942, but they divorced five years later. In 1950, she kept a promise she had made to herself to quit journalism by age 30 — she was 28. She began traveling Europe, subsisting on her fees from The New Yorker and by giving English lessons.

“I live on bread, wine, and mortadella,” she wrote in her diary while in Madrid in 1952, as published by The New Yorker.

“Europe for me is governed by the price of mortadella.”

She gave herself two years to succeed. She did, beginning a 25-year collaboration with her famous New Yorker editor, author William Maxwell.

Devo guitarist Bob Longtime Detroit journalist Henderson dies Casale dies at age 61

NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Casale, the guitarist for Devo, best known for the 1980 hit “Whip It,” has died of heart failure, his brother and band member Gerald Casale said Tuesday. He was 61.

Devo founding member Casale said in a statement that his younger brother’s death Monday was “sudden” and “a total shock.”

“As an original member of Devo, Bob Casale was there in the trenches with me from the beginning,” Casale said. “He was my level-headed brother, a solid performer and talented audio engineer, always giving more than he got.”

No further details on his death were provided.

A story about the award published at that time by The Associated Press said Henderson sought to understand what happened when pharmacist Dennis Grehl shot and killed an ar med robber who tried to hold up his shop. Henderson interviewed Grehl and his drugstore colleagues and spent a year researching the life of the man he killed.

“It happened so quickly, he was just trying to protect himself and his coworker,” Henderson said.

“It was nothing about malice or hatred, but afterward realizing what you’ve done is tough. ... I tried to tell the story of how these two lives collided, and how their lives both changed.”

Roswell triumphs over archrival Goddard Wednesday, February 19, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

From the beginning of each season, the Goddard and Roswell boys basketball teams seem to be on a collision course for the district championship.

This year has been no different.

The fourth incarnation of their rivalry drew a near -capacity crowd on Tuesday at the Coyote Den.

Roswell went to 4-0 on the year against the Rockets, beating the visitors 69-56 to lock up the regular-season District 4-4A crown, an automatic berth in the state tournament and the No. 1 seed in next week’s district tournament.

“It feels good,” said Coyote coach Britt Cooper about beating Roswell’s archrival. “To beat somebody four times in one season is tough.”

The fourth meeting of the city’s

two largest high schools was the most entertaining of the season series.

Roswell controlled the first quarter, grabbing the lead a minute in and maintaining it until the late stages of the second.

Goddard, which trailed by as many as 10 in the first, slowly chipped away at the Coyote lead over the course of the second period.

With 2:35 left in the half, Roswell led 28-22 after a Frank De La O basket.

But, a Roswell turnover and a De La O miss afforded Goddard the opening it would need to really slice into the Roswell advantage.

Heading into its District 44A showdown with crosstown rival Goddard, the Roswell girls basketball team was sitting at .500 and flying under the radar.

Yes, the Coyotes, who have been to two consecutive state championship games and captured 10 straight district titles, have been overlooked this season.

Most of this season, however, the Coyotes have played without Georgia L ynn Eldridge, who missed the first 22 games of the season with an ankle injury.

On Tuesday, the junior post and the rest of the Coyotes proved why they may be the most dangerous team in 4A. Eldridge poured in a gamehigh 19 points and snagged 12 rebounds (seven of which were offensive) to lead the Coyotes to an 83-44 win that clinched See FLY, Page B3

Wise wins gold in halfpipe skiing KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — David Wise considers himself a dad and husband first, a freestyle skier second.

That might be why he also became an Olympic champion.

Soaring through sloppy snow and sleet, Wise won the first gold medal in the young sport of halfpipe skiing Tuesday, outclassing a field in Sochi that had trouble with the slow, waterlogged conditions.

Sightlines were less than perfect on the first true soaker of a night at the actionsports venue, but not so bad that Wise couldn’t look down from the top and see his wife, Lexi, and the rest of his family members cheering at the base of the halfpipe.

Many of them were holding big pop-out AP Photo

“To see that face looking back up at me was cool,” Wise said.

After placing a heartshaped r ock Lexi gave him into one pocket, the 23year -old from Reno, Nev., dropped into the halfpipe and scored a 92 — a mark that held up to beat Canada’s Mike Riddle by 1.4 points.

Kevin Rolland of France took bronze.

That podium pr etty much went to form, a fact not lost on Wise or any of the others, who have watched expected results in other action sports at these games get shuffled — partly because of conditions and maybe because of pressure. Shaun White never got comfortable

Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis trying for another comeback SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Colby Lewis has been down this road before. He has come back from rotator cuff and reconstructive elbow surgeries.

This time, he’s trying to make the Texas Rangers after last year’s operation on his right hip.

Lewis agreed to a minor league deal last month that included an invitation to Texas’ big league camp. He threw a batting practice session on Monday.

Lewis, who was the Rangers’ opening-day starter in 2012, hasn’t pitched in a game since he made a five-inning rehab outing in the minors on Aug. 3. He then had hip resurfacing surgery, which is short of a full hip replacement.

Lewis was a 1999 first-round supplemental choice of the Rangers and made his big league debut in 2002. He pitched for Detroit and Oakland and spent two years in Japan before returning to Texas in 2010, posting a 3.72 ERA in 32 starts. He won 14 games in 2011 and has a 4-1 record with a 2.34 ERA in eight postseason starts.

Lewis made only 16 starts in 2012 before he was sidelined by elbow and hip injuries.

“It’s just another something I’ve got to overcome,” Lewis said.

“It’s kind of the way my career has been. I’ve never been super healthy. I’ve put three or four years together and get hurt again. That’s just the way my

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — If you’re going to replace Todd Helton at first base in Colorado while wearing Larry Walker’s old number, you better have a solid resume.

The Rockies are convinced four-time AllStar and former American League MVP Justin Morneau is the answer as they begin the post-Helton era.

“It’d be tough for anybody to have to fill those shoes,” manager Walt Weiss said of Helton, the freshly retired five-time All-Star who holds nearly every Rockies career offensive record. “But we’re doing it with a guy that’s been a league MVP and has been an elite player in this league.

“Maybe that ghost isn’t overwhelming for someone like a Justin Morneau.”

There were many compelling reasons for Morneau to sign his two-year, $12.5 million free-agent deal with Colorado in December.

It meant being reunited with former Minnesota teammate and friend Michael Cuddyer, and they now have adjacent lockers.

Walker, Morneau’s boyhood hero and fellow Canadian, recruited him to where he was National League MVP in 2007. Walker even signed off on Morneau wearing his old No. 33.

Morneau has to replace the face of the Rockies in Helton, who spent his entire career in Colorado and is the franchise leader with 2,519 hits, 369 home runs and 1,406 RBIs. “From the outside looking in, it looks like I’m coming in to replace him,” Morneau said.

“But that’s not my thought process. My thought process is just come in and be me and do what I can do. He has things that he can do that I can’t do and the other way around.”

The 32-year-old Morneau will likely bring more offense than Helton, who struggled at the plate amid injuries at the end of his career.

“I’ve been very blessed to do this as long as I’ve done and to have as many surgeries I’ve had — big surgeries I should say.

God didn’t give me a body to hold up all the time.”

The Rangers have two vacancies in their rotation with Derek Holland likely out for the first part of the season after undergoing knee surgery last month.

“The Rangers gave me another opportunity this year to come back and make the club,” Lewis said. “All I can do is go out there and perform with what I’ve got. If it’s good enough, I’ll make the club. If it’s not, we’ll see what else is out there.”

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Lewis’ track record is a positive in his bid to make the club.

“I certainly wouldn’t count Colby out,” Washington said.

“You’ve got to wait and see how he performs, but I have no negative thoughts about Colby Lewis.

We don’t know what we’ll have until we get on the field, but if anybody can do it, it’s Colby.”

Lewis, who is 44-44 with a 4.76 ERA in 152 career games, just knows he wants to keep playing.

“I definitely want to get another contract after this year,” he said.

“My wife said she’s not ready for baseball to be over with and neither am I.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Goodbye, Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe. Hello, Tony Gonzalez.

Marino and Sharpe will not return to their analyst roles on CBS’ “The NFL Today” pregame show. Gonzalez, a recently retired star tight end, will now prep for a turn on the network’s pro football coverage.

CBS sports chairman Sean McManus said the move to part ways with Marino and Sharpe “was really kind of a mutual decision” and “has nothing to do with any dissatisfaction in the ratings.”

McManus said he has no single metric by which he measures the success of the pregame show.

“It’s very subjective,” McManus said.

“Normally, if somebody’s really doing a good job, there’s a fairly overwhelming feeling that the person was a good hire, and the show is better than it was without him.”

He is expecting to get that with Gonzalez.

“He’s the closest thing to a sure bet that I’ve seen in a long time,” McManus said.

“You can’t teach ... likeability. Tony is a very likable individual.”

Gonzalez is going to go from the field to the studio in a hurry. The former All-Pro tight end who appears destined for a spot in the Hall of Fame in Canton said he was looking for a TV job with all of the major companies that broadcast NFL games.

He said he felt the most comfortable with CBS. The Tiffany network recently landed a deal to air NFL games on network TV on Thursday nights next season in addition to its longtime stable of AFC games.

“What really stood out about CBS was it was a comfortable fit from the beginning,” Gonzalez said. “The opportunity to work with someone like James Brown — the guy’s a legend.”

Gonzalez will join Brown, Bill Cowher and Boomer Esiason on “The NFL Today” on Sundays. He hasn’t officially retired from the NFL, though this would seem to make returning to the field a remote prospect.

The work ethic that made him a star performer should serve him well in the TV world, too. He said he is already rehearsing to himself in the mirror — and it doesn’t quite feel normal.

“I think the best thing that I can do is reps,” Gonzalez said. “You don’t go out there and start balling in Week 1.”

Wagner, who tied for the team lead with 19 points, scored three points in a span of 19 seconds to make it 28-25 and Ricky Roybal cut the gap to one 30 seconds later.

Jaivion Hicks, who would finish with a game-high 23 points, converted underneath on Roswell’s next possession, but Trent Johnson (19 points) answered with an old-fashioned three-point play that tied the game for the first time.

Hicks briefly put Roswell ahead on a free throw, but Wagner sent the Rocket faithful into a frenzy and gave his team a 33-31 halftime edge when he knocked down

a long-range triple from the left wing as time expired in the half.

Goddard kept Roswell at bay through most of the third and led 45-41 as the clock ticked past the midway point of the quarter.

The next 4 minutes were joyous for Roswell and disastrous for Goddard.

The Coyotes ran off six in a row in a 33-second span behind a triple by Cesar Nava, a free throw

by Hicks and a deuce by De La O (12 points) to retake the lead 4745.

They would never trail again.

Wagner tied the game for the third and final time with 1:03 left in the period.

Hicks converted a pair 11 seconds later to give Roswell the lead.

After trading turnovers, Wagner tried to put down a dunk, but

missed. On the ensuing Coyote possession, Derek Najar was called for a personal foul and then a technical foul.

Matthew Sedillo (19 points) made both free throws for the technical and Hicks scored underneath on the bonus possession, giving the Coyotes a 53-47 lead going to the fourth.

“We were just looking for something to get us going,” Cooper said about the end of the third quarter. “The kids were already starting to get a little hyped up, and then when he goes ahead and mouths off and gets a T, it was big because we got four points out of the deal.”

Rocket coach Kevin Jones said that stretch changed the game.

“It changed the momentum of the game. It’s one of those deals where, any time Goddard and

Roswell get together, it’s going to be an emotional game,” he said. “I wish we had officials that would understand that.

“That hurt, absolutely that hurt. It changed some things.”

In the fourth, Goddard got within four early and trailed by six with 6:10 left after a Wagner basket.

Roswell put the game out of reach shortly thereafter with an 8-0 spurt that pushed its lead to double digits and sent the Roswell fans into a frenzy.

“We did a pretty good job defensively in the second half,” Cooper said about his team’s defense, which allowed just 23 second-half points after giving up 24 in the second quarter alone. “We started out in foul trouble and tried a little zone, that didn’t work.

“Once we went man, except for

B3

the first part of the third quarter, I thought we locked them down pretty good from then on.”

Roswell will be the No. 1 seed in next week’s district tournament regardless of the outcome of Friday’s game with Artesia. Goddard will be the No. 2 and will host Artesia in the semifinal.

“We can’t look past Artesia, but we hope to have a chance to compete for a district title,” Jones said. “If it comes down to (playing Roswell), we would love to see that again.”

A potential fifth meeting between the rivals would be next Saturday at the Coyote Den with the district tournament title on the line.

Cooper is expecting that fifth meeting. “ We’ll probably see them again a week from Saturday.”

Top 25 capsules: Kansas slides past Texas Tech LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Andrew Wiggins’ layup with two seconds left lifted No. 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night.

The freshman finished with 19 points and Joel Embiid matched his career high with 18 to lead the Jayhawks (20-6, 11-2). The victory for Kansas gave them 20 wins for the 25th consecutive season and 11 or more conference wins for 20th-straight year.

Texas Tech’s Robert Turner sank two free throws with 16 seconds left to put the Red Raiders up 63-62 but Kansas brought the ball up and got it inside to Wiggins for the win.

Jordan Tolbert scored 16 points and Dejan Kravic added 13 to lead Texas Tech (13-13, 5-8).

The win gives the Jayhawks a two-game lead in the Big 12 after Texas fell 85-76 at Iowa State on Tuesday night.

The score was tied nine times and the lead changed 13 times.

No. 5 Duke 68, Georgia Tech 51 ATLANTA (AP) — Jabari Parker had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 5 Duke rolled past Georgia Tech 68-51 on Tuesday night.

Rodney Hood sank four 3-pointers and scored 14 points for Duke, which never trailed and led by double figures for the final 28 minutes. The Blue Devils (21-5, 103 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won four straight and nine of 10.

Duke is in a hectic run of four games in eight days. The Blue Devils will play at North Carolina on Thursday before facing No. 1 Syracuse on Saturday. The stretch began with a win at Maryland on Saturday.

Robert Carter Jr. led Georgia Tech (1313, 4-9 ACC) with 13 points. Kammeon Holsey had 12, and Chris Bolden added 10.

Duke, which has lost twice on the road to unranked conference opponents Notre Dame and Clemson, was 3-3 in ACC road games before Tuesday.

a state playoff berth, the regular -season district crown and the No. 1 seed in next week’s district tournament.

“Georgia Eldridge, she is an athlete,” Roswell coach Joe Carpenter said regarding his post. “We have missed it all year for 22 games. I think she makes the dif ference.

She is the train that makes us go and it makes us faster in transition. If she continues to do what she is doing and grow, she will be better next week than this week.”

It is hard to imagine the Coyotes (13-12, 3-0 district) playing any better than they did in the final 6:12 of the first half.

Holding a 30-18 lead, Eldridge kick-started the decisive 23-2 run with a layup of f a feed from Priscilla Lucero.

Roswell’s next two hoops came via Eldridge helpers — to Jaedyn De La Cerda and Lucero — that pushed the lead to 18.

Following a fast-break layup by De La Cerda, Roswell misfired on its next possession.

That would be the last pointless Coyote possession for 2 1 ⁄ 2 minutes.

During that span, Roswell had eight possessions and grew its lead from 20 to 35.

Rocket coach Greg Torres said that Eldridge and a lack of energy was the dif ference in the game.

“I think the bottom line was they came with a lot more energy and a lot more intensity,” he

No. 6 San Diego St. 60, Utah St. 45 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Matt Shrigley scored 15 points — including four 3-pointers — and No. 6 San Diego State used a stifling defense to beat Utah State 60-45 Tuesday night, the Aztecs’ 12th straight home victory.

Josh Davis added 12 points and Skylar Spencer 10 for the Aztecs (23-2, 12-1 Mountain West Conference), who play their much-anticipated first game of the season against New Mexico on Saturday night. The Lobos (19-5, 10-2) are in second place in the MWC going into their game at UNLV on Wednesday night.

Utah State (15-11, 5-9) would have tied its season-low of 42 points if not for a 3pointer by Viko Noma’aea with 29 seconds left. SDSU held the Aggies to 34 percent shooting. SDSU led by double digits since 10:56 in the first half and scored the last 10 points of the game.

No. 9 Villanova 82, Providence 79, 2OT PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Ryan Arcidiacono had a three-point play with 3.6 seconds left in the second overtime to lift Villanova to a win over Providence.

Arcidiacono led the Wildcats (23-3, 11-2 Big East) with 21 points. JayVaughn Pinkston had 20 and James Bell 17. Villanova moved into a tie for first atop the Big East with Creighton.

Bryce Cotton led the Friars (17-10, 7-7) with 22 points despite shooting just 6 of 20.

Kadeem Batts finished with 21 and 11 rebounds, but fouled out on Arcidiacono’s game-winning basket. Josh Fortune added 16 points and Tyler Harris 15.

After missing shots at the end of regulation and OT, Arcidiacono drove to the basket, banking in a shot as he was fouled.

“It didn’t matter if Georgia was playing with the first group or the third group, she made those groups look like world beaters. She was definitely an x-factor tonight.”

Torres said that his team will rebound from this loss.

“I told my kids after the game, ‘We are going to bounce back,’” he said. “‘One game doesn’t end our season.’”

Following the win, Carpenter said that it was good to see his team having fun on the court.

“Well, it felt really good because the kids have put in a lot of time and hard work,” he said.

“When you have lost 12 games this year, you have taken some lows.

They have had to take it on the chin a few times.

It feels good to see them smiling and having fun and getting a chance to win.”

No. 11 Louisville 80, South Florida 54 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Russ Smith scored 19 points and Louisville overcame foul troubles to run away from South Florida.

Luke Hancock added 16 points and Montrezl Harrell added 14 points despite four fouls as the Cardinals (22-4, 11-2 American Athletic Conference) won their tuneup before Saturday’s rematch at first place and No. 7 Cincinnati. Louisville’s fifth consecutive lopsided win also completed a season sweep of the Bulls (12-15, 3-11).

Doing so required surviving a second-half stretch with Harrell and Wayne Blackshear sidelined with four fouls each, not to mention cold shooting after a 54-percent first half. Both later returned to help the Cardinals steadily pull away, with Harrell adding a late basket-shaking dunk.

Freshman Terry Rozier scored 13 points for Louisville, which shot 48 percent.

Victor Rudd had 27 points but was USF’s only double-digit scorer on a night it shot 49 percent from the field.

No. 14 Virginia 57, Virginia Tech 53 BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Justin Anderson and Joe Harris made consecutive 3pointers to cap Virginia’s rally from an 11point, second-half deficit in a victory over Virginia Tech.

The Cavaliers (22-5, 13-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed most of the game but outscored the Hokies 23-6 after falling behind 40-29 with just more than 14 minutes remaining. It was Virginia’s 10th victory in a row, matching the school’s best start in ACC play since the 1980-81 team was also 13-1.

Malcolm Brogdon led Virginia with 12 points, and London Perrantes had 11.

The Hokies (9-16, 2-11), who ended a 10game losing streak in their previous outing on Saturday against Miami, got 13 points each from Joey Van Zegeren and Devin Wilson. They lost their fifth in a row in the series.

“I’ve been watching a lot of favorites lose this Olympics ... seeing how much pressure it can be and how you have to perform, regardless of the conditions or how you’re feeling that day,” Wise said.

“It’s kind of sobering, to say the least.”

He had a couple new tricks he wanted to bust out for the Olympics, but because of the conditions, those will have to wait.

Instead, he went with his most dependable jumps: 2 1⁄2 spins; two flips with 3 1⁄2 spins; back-to-back 720-degree spins; then another two-flip, 1260-degree move.

Some went 14-15 feet above the halfpipe.

Most had fancy grabs of the skis that the judges love. All had rock-solid landings that win gold medals.

“Dave is, right now, on top of the sport,” said his 17-year -old American teammate, Aaron Blunck. “He’s the best.

He’s proven it multiple times. He comes out in any condition and has amazing fun. He’s the dad out of the group. So, no matter what he does, we’re proud of him.”

Wise is the winner of three straight Winter X Games titles, which, until now, were the biggest prizes in his trophy case.

No. 17 Iowa St. 85, No. 19 Texas 76 AMES, Iowa (AP) — Melvin Ejim scored 25 points and DeAndre Kane added 22 to help Iowa State beat Texas for its fifth victory in six games.

Georges Niang had 20 points for the Cyclones (20-5, 8-5 Big 12), who clinched their third straight 20-win season under coach Fred Hoiberg.

Iowa State outscored Texas 25-12 late in the second half to pull away and move within a game of the second-place Longhorns in the Big 12. They were keyed by Ejim, who had his second-best scoring game of the season.

Isaiah Taylor had 26 points to lead the Longhorns (20-6, 9-4), who’ve followed up a seven-game winning streak by splitting their last four.

No. 18 Kentucky 84, Mississippi 70 OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Julius Randle had 25 points and 13 rebounds, Aaron Harrison added 17 points and Kentucky beat Mississippi.

Kentucky (20-6, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) dominated throughout most of the game, going on a 15-0 run midway through the first half to take a 25-11 lead that proved insurmountable.

It was Randle’s 14th double-double of the season. Kentucky was active in the paint and had several alley-oop dunks, jumping over the Rebels’ overmatched defense. The Wildcats had seven dunks in the first half alone.

Ole Miss (16-10, 7-6) lost its third straight game and has almost completely fallen out of the picture for an at-large NCAA tournament berth. The Rebels had a bad shooting night and were steamrolled on the boards.

Jarvis Summers led Ole Miss with 22 points and Anthony Perez added 21.

since he got married and became a dad.

He’s a family man — the regular dude in a counter -culture sport — and he’s sure he wouldn’t be this good if it were different.

“I can go and ski my heart out, but that doesn’t necessarily define who I am,” he said. “Being a good husband and father is more important. I can have passion with both things and it provides balance.”

Riddle’s silver continued a sparkling stretch of freestyle skiing for Canada.

Including the 1-2 moguls finish by the Dufour-Lapointe sisters, a 1-2 finish in men’s moguls and some other strong results, the Canadians have won seven medals in the action sports, three of them gold.

Though the weather prevented the show from being the best the skiers have ever put on, certainly Burke would’ve appreciated the effort — and all those smiles.

“The whole thing is to just go out there and try to have some fun,” said Blunck, who finished seventh.

Wise had the most fun.

He brought America’s medal total at the Sochi Games to 20 overall, with six golds.

Eleven of the medals and five of those golds have come from the action sports, where Wise considers himself a role model.

“I just want people to be excited about freeskiing,” he said.

Vaultier wins men’s snowboardcross B4 Wednesday, February 19, 2014

SPORTS

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Pierre Vaultier stood atop the podium, feeling no pain from a knee held together by little more than a brace and cheek-biting grit.

Nikolay Olyunin, the 22-year-old underdog standing to his right, was quite content after giving the host country a good glimpse of his profession.

To their left, bronze medalist Alex Deibold was soaking up the attention of the U.S. team.

Behind them all, the favorites were washed away by bad luck, bad decisions — or both — on a course that deteriorated into a slushy, soggy snowball.

In other words, just another Tuesday in snowboardcross, the Olympic sport that sometimes is little more than a high-stakes lottery held at upward of 50 mph (80 kph) down the side of a mountain.

The jousting in front of Vaultier during the semifinals nearly cost him a shot at a medal. Apart from that, there was the relentless pursuit by Russia’s Olyunin, the man with the fastest board on a day when speed was in short supply. And the persistence of former wax technician Deibold, who buried four years of angst — and a teammate — on his way to salvaging a bit of American pride.

Vaultier stood above them all on a right knee with an ACL one wrong

move away from a career-threatening implosion. Funny how the pain seemed to vanish the moment the 26-year-old crossed the finish line.

“I think I took off on the last jump and I did not land yet,” he said.

Happy landings were hard to come by in the rain at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Instead of the bluebird conditions that can feature the sometimes breathtaking mix of speed and precision snowboardcross provides, the third contest in the sport’s brief Olympic history was a battle of attrition.

Gold-medal favorite Nate Holland of the U.S. didn’t make it out of the opening round of elimination after mistiming a jump.

Italy’s Omar Visintin loomed as a threat until colliding with Australia’s Jarryd Hughes in the semifinals, going head-first over a pair of stepdown ramps and being taken off on a stretcher.

Taylor Jacob, the youngest and perhaps most naturally gifted rider on the U.S. team, saw his spot in the finals taken by Deibold, who edged Jacob aside at the finish after both spectacularly slid across the line on their backs.

The event was pushed back from Monday to Tuesday due to heavy fog.

Conditions weren’t much better 24 hours later as the drizzle slowed the 750-meter track, making passing dif-

ficult and put the ability to get out of the gates quickly at a premium.

“We compete in an outdoor sport, this is not something that uncommon,” Deibold said. “It’s one of the situations we prep ourselves for.”

Nobody was better than Vaultier and Olyunin, who led nearly wire to wire in his three races before the finals. He wasn’t quite as sharp when the gate dropped in the medal round as Vaultier sprinted to the front then fended him off three times before pulling away over the last two jumps.

“He is the embodiment of snowboardcross,” Olyunin said of Vaultier.

“He is created for this and he deserved the medal.”

So did Olyunin, who seemed overcome by the prospect of being only the second Russian to win a medal with a snowboard attached to the bottom of their boots.

Though he considers himself a bit of a “pioneer,” Olyunin is still in the early stages of his career. He began the day ranked 20th in the world and ended it as the face of his sport in his homeland.

Svendsen wins gold in biathlon mass start

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — After doing everything right for nearly 15 kilometers, Norway’s Emil Hegle Svendsen almost threw away his first biathlon gold medal at the Sochi Olympics in the final inches.

What could have been a comfortable victory tur ned into a photo finish after the Norwegian started celebrating the win on the final stretch, seemingly unaware that French rival Martin Fourcade was catching up fast behind him.

As Svendsen cruised toward the finish line with his hands in the air, Fourcade made one last attempt to grasp victory with a sliding finish, pushing his left ski ahead to come within one-tenth of a second of stealing first place.

Svendsen admitted he may have started his celebrations too early.

“But I actually had pretty good control even though it looked very, very close,” Svendsen said after the 15-kilometer mass start race. “It looked closer than it was for me.”

Svendsen shot cleanly while Fourcade missed one target. Both finished in 42 minutes, 29.1 seconds.

Ondrej Moravec of Czech Republic was 13.8 behind to take bronze for his second medal of the games after winning silver in the 12.5K pursuit.

It was Svendsen’s fourth Olympic medal overall after win-

Svendsen bounced back from his disappointing opening week of the Olympics. The Norwegian, runner -up to Fourcade in the overall World Cup standings, had not been a threat to the medalists in any of his three events.

“I’ve been shooting good and

feeling good, but the skis were going very, very bad. But today they were perfect, and I’m glad we’re back where we’re supposed to be,” Svendsen said.

He won the overall World Cup title in 2010 and has finished second each season since, the last two times behind Fourcade.

The Frenchman was seeking his third straight gold after winning the pursuit and the individ-

ual race last week. The Frenchman also lost to Svendsen in a photo finish of the pursuit at last year’s world championships.

“We have a great rivalry,” Fourcade said. “I am happy for him. I had imagined before the race I could win gold. I am both happy and disappointed but he deserved this medal. He has brought a lot to biathlon in the last years.”

Moravec left the shooting

range for the final time just behind Svendsen and Fourcade but didn’t give himself a chance of beating them.

“They were much stronger than me,” Moravec said. “On that last uphill I said, OK, I take third place, and then only hold my position and control my position.”

Svendsen’s victory earned Norway its second biathlon gold of the games after Ole Einar Bjoerndalen won the opening sprint event.

On Tuesday, Bjoer ndalen missed two targets in the first round but rallied to fourth position after the fourth loop. He was still in contention for a podium finish before missing four times in his final shooting. He came 22nd, 2:29.2 off the lead.

“I don’t know what happened in the last shooting,” said Bjoerndalen, who gets another chance for a record 13th Winter Olympics medal in Wednesday’s mixed relay. “I’m in good shape, but today was not my day.”

The start of the race was delayed for 15 minutes due to fog. It had been called off on Sunday and again on Monday because of thick fog, making it the first Olympic biathlon event to be postponed for two days.

The 10K sprint at Nagano in 1998 and the 20K individual race at Sapporo in 1972 were also moved from their initial schedule because of the weather but went ahead the next day.

Jorrit Bergsma knocks off Graabak wins gold in Kramer in 10,000 meters Nordic combined large hill

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Jorrit Bergsma wouldn’t go along with the storyline.

This was supposed to be about Sven Kramer’s redemption, the place where the world’s greatest distance skater finally made up for his incredible blunder four year ago.

Instead, Kramer was dealt another crushing disappointment.

With a stunner of a finishing kick, Bergsma upset his favored countryman to win speedskating Olympic gold in the 10,000 meters Tuesday with the fastest time ever at sea level.

“I understand that people really wanted to see Sven win here,” Bergsma said. “But I skate for myself. I came here to win gold. I wasn’t going to give away the gold for Sven’s story.”

Kramer gave away a sure gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games with a botched lane change. This time, he simply got beat by — almost inevitably at the Sochi Games — a fellow Dutchman.

Bergsma’s time of 12 minutes, 44.45 seconds was less than 3 seconds of f Kramer’s world record, set at high altitude in 2007, and shattered the Olympic record of 12:58.55 by South Korea’s Lee Seunghoon four years ago.

Kramer settled for silver in 12:49.02.

The bronze went to 37-year -old Bob de Jong, the oldest speedskating medalist in 86 years.

“This is really bitter, because I never took this into account,” Kramer said.

“Tur ns out, I simply was not good enough.”

While the order of finish didn’t go as expected, the guys on the podium were no surprise at all.

It was another orange sweep, the fourth 1-2-3 finish for the Netherlands at Adler Arena, its speedskating medal haul climbing to 19 out of a possible 27.

Bergsma’s last five laps were all under 30 seconds, a pace Kramer simply couldn’t match skating in the final pair with Lee. “I was doing 29-second laps and was able to hold on to those late in the race,” Bergsma said.

Kramer had already captured his second straight 5,000 gold in Sochi, but he really wanted to make up for the 10,000 victory that got away in Vancouver. During a routine crossover on the backstretch, Kramer’s coach, Gerard Kemkers, absentmindedly directed him to the wrong lane.

The skater dutifully followed the instructions, leading to a disqualification. Lee took the gold, even though his time was 4 seconds slower than Kramer’s.

“Four years ago was tougher than this.

Here I was beaten by someone better,” Kramer said. “I have to accept this, however tough it is.”

Smooth and relaxed in the early laps, Kramer was grimacing in a desperate search for more speed the closer he got to the end. His lap times climbed steadily higher. When the bell rang for the final trip around the oval, Bergsma already was celebrating in the infield.

“He kept matching me for a long time,” Bergsma said. “Then I realized he couldn’t hold on to those laps.”

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — It had been a long time coming for Norway, the birthplace of Nordic combined.

Joergen Graabak took gold and Magnus Moan the silver in the large hill event Tuesday at the Sochi Olympics, giving Norway its first one-two finish in a Nordic combined event in 78 years.

Norway has the most Olympic medals in the sport — 12 — but Graabak’s win was the country’s first since Nagano 1998, when Bjarte Engen Vik won the individual and team events.

Graabak, who was initially left out of Norway’s Olympic squad, then added as a large hill specialist, broke away from a five-man group with about 100 meters left in the cross-country race.

In steady rain, Graabak finished six-tenths of a second ahead of Moan.

Fabian Riessle of Germany was 1.6 seconds behind and took the bronze.

Normal hill gold medal winner Eric Frenzel of Ger-

many was an uncertain starter due to a virus, but led after the ski jumping.

He faded badly, however, in the 10-kilometer crosscountry ski race to finish 10th.

Norway had not won gold and silver in a Nordic combined event since Oddbjorn Hagen and Olaf Hoffsbakken did it in the normal hill event at Garmish-Partenkirchen in Germany in 1936.

Graabak finished sixth in the ski jumping portion and started 42 seconds after Frenzel, but quickly made up the deficit with the German unable to hold his lead for long.

“It’s pretty obvious how I feel,” the 22-year-old Norwegian said. “It’s a bit surreal. I will need time to enjoy the moment. My tactic was to ski well and hopefully to stay with the top guys.”

He finished in a time of 23 minutes, 27.5 seconds on the course adjacent to the hill complex at the RusSki Gorki Jumping Center.

Moan won Olympic sil-

ver and bronze in the individual events at Turin in 2006.

“Honestly, on the last hill I didn’t feel that I had the same legs as usual, Moan said. “I’m happy to be back on the podium ... this means that I still have something to do in this game.”

Akito Watabe of Japan, who won silver behind Frenzel in the normal hill, was sixth, followed by Jason Lamy Chappuis of France, the normal hill gold medal winner from Vancouver in 2010. Lamy Chappuis was among a 10-man pack that alternated the lead for much of the race.

“It was a hard race and difficult to keep a good position,” said Watabe. “I fell down on the corner of the downhill. And after that it was hard to catch a groove again.”

Germany might have had another man on the podium but Johannes R ydzek fell on the final turn after appearing to hit the back of Graabak’s skis.

He finished eighth.

33), on their longest winning streak since an eight-game run in March 2010. That was LeBron James’ final season in Cleveland.

The reeling Sixers fell to 15-40 with their ninth loss in a row and eighth straight at home — their longest skid since the 1996-97 season. Philadelphia has dropped 19 of 22 overall.

Raptors 103, Wizards 93 WASHINGTON (AP) — Kyle Lowry had 24 points and 10 assists, and Toronto broke open a close game in the third quarter before holding off Washington.

Five Raptors joined Lowry in double figures, including Amir Johnson, who retur ned after missing two games with a sore right ankle. He scored 14 points.

The Atlantic Division leaders, who have won three straight, also got 14 from DeMar DeRozan and Greivis Vasquez.

John Wall led the Wizards with 22 points and Marcin Gortat added 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Washington has lost three straight and five of six. The Wizards fell to 13-14 at home this season.

Bobcats 108, Pistons 96 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Al Jefferson had 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists to lead Charlotte over Detroit.

Kemba Walker scored 22 points and Josh McRoberts added 14 points and 10 rebounds to help the Bobcats extend their lead over the Pistons to 1 1/2 games for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Jefferson reached 30 points for the sixth time in nine games.

The teams conclude their home-and-home set in Charlotte on Wednesday night.

Andre Drummond, coming off his MVP performance in the Rising Stars game last Friday, had 16 points and 22 rebounds for Detroit. But that wasn’t enough to overcome a terrible shooting performance by his teammates.

Interim coach John Loyer dropped to 1-2 since replacing Maurice Cheeks last week.

Bucks 104, Magic 100 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brandon Knight overcame a bizarre foot injury, scoring 18 points and making two free throws with 5.5 seconds left to seal Milwaukee’s victory over Orlando in a game between two of the NBA’s worst teams.

Park Pooches on Patrol

Sled Dogs of Denali

In Denali National Park in Alaska, sled dogs and their ranger partners patrol about 2 million acres of wilderness. When temperatures drop to 45 degrees below zero and high winds and blowing snow make it impossible to see, sled dogs are often the only way to get around.

The Mini Page talked with a ranger from Denali National Park and Preserve to find out more about these daring dogs.

A husky has long legs and loves to run. Its large paws help it balance on the snow.

It has a thick, warm coat made up of two layers of fur. An adult weighs about 60 to 80 pounds. A husky is powerful and muscular. If it were as big as an ox, it would be stronger than the ox.

Denali and dogs

Husky history

In the winter of 1907-1908, wilderness guide Harry Karstens led a naturalist, or an expert on animals and plants, through an area of Alaska. Harry knew how to survive outdoors in the frozen wilderness. He also knew that the best way to get around in this cold, wild land was on a sled pulled by dogs. Harry and the naturalist traveled by sled team.

The naturalist thought it was important to protect the animals and their habitat. He helped convince Congress to preserve the land as a national park.

The first ranger was the naturalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide, Harry Karstens. He set up the sled-dog program to help rangers care for the park.

For hundreds of years, Alaskan natives bred dogs that did well in cold weather and were strong enough to pull sleds. These dogs are Alaskan huskies, or sled dogs.

Horses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do well in the Alaskan wilderness. The best way to travel is by sled team. In pioneer days, mail was delivered by sled dogs.

In the early days of the park, rangers and dogs would be in the wilderness for months at a time. They sheltered in tents and blankets or in whatever they could find on the spot.

Sled dogs hauled logs and supplies through the park so rangers could build cabins to shelter workers, rangers and dogs.

Winter travel

No motorized vehicles are allowed in the 2 million acres of wilderness in Denali except for emergencies or special projects. Sled teams are the only way to transport supplies or break trails for the public. Traveling by dogsled is called mushing.

A sled-dog patrol might last anywhere from a day to six weeks.

Sled teams haul supplies to the cabins. Rangers collect data for scientists and transport researchers and workers such as firefighters.

Parker can score from anywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201D; short range, mid-range, long range. He plays hard, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gloat after making a shot, or grimace after a miss.

Already one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite players, Parker also does much off the court. An honor student in high school at Simeon Career Academy, Parker has been active with the Salvation Army and other outreach programs.

Now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping tradition-rich Duke pursue another title.

Workers often get close to the dogs and adopt them when the dogs retire.

In Denali, the easiest time to patrol is the winter. Traveling over hard frozen ground is easier than traveling over sticky, muddy ground.

When rivers freeze, they become highways that dogs and rangers can walk over. Rivers, marshes and lakes can be cold and dangerous in warmer weather, when ice begins to melt.

Dogs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t patrol in the summer.

Instead, they pull sleds on wheels to A sled-dog team usually has seven to 10 dogs. The numbers change depending on demonstrate mushing. how much weight is on the sled.

Fur Power

All the following jokes have something in common.

Can you guess the common theme or category?

Puppy training

/NE OF THE RANGERS BIGGEST FEARS IS FALLING INTO OPEN WATER 'ETTING WET when it is minus 40 degrees can be very dangerous.

If sleds do break through the ice, dogs are trained to run through the water, pulling the sled onto the bank.

If a snowmobile falls through the ice, it just sits there.

When dogs get wet, the best way for them to dry off is to roll in the snow. The air is very cold and dry that far north. The snow is so dry that it actually pulls water from the fur.

"UT IF THE DOG CAN T GET DRY THE team needs to get to shelter. If ice gets under its bottom coat of fur, the dog could have trouble warming up.

It is dangerous for people to be soaked and cold, too. Rangers always carry emergency parkas and an extra set of clothes in a waterproof bag. If people get wet, they need to get out of their wet clothes right away and start a fire to warm up.

Huskies have a lot of energy.

Rangers teach them to harness that energy by pulling the sleds. They put puppies into a little harness and attach it to a person on skis.

An adult dog walks ahead, so the puppies pull the harness to get to the adult dog. They learn to pull. /NCE THE PUPPIES ARE BIG ENOUGH to keep up, they are harnessed to the rest of a team for a couple of miles.

Young puppies tire easily, and they lose interest quickly, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually work with a team until they are at least 2 years old.

Water danger

New litters of puppies are usually born at the kennels each summer. By winter, they are eating solid food and ready to begin training with the teams. Volunteers and staff take the puppies for walks to teach them about life in the park.

Super senses

Puppies learn to follow orders such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;geeâ&#x20AC;? to turn right and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hawâ&#x20AC;? to turn left.

Dogs can feel and smell the trails even if people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find them. The snow on a trail is packed down, so even buried trails feel different on the dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paws. Dogs remember trails they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been on for years.

Dogs can find trails and cabins EVEN BETTER THAN A '03 CAN "UT sometimes the dogs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go where the rangers need them to go.

2ANGERS CHECK THE MAPS AND '03 They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just rely on the dogs.

Rangers and dogs have a lot of trust in each other. For example, The Mini Page thanks Jessica Toubman, DURING ONE STORM A RANGER S '03 assistant kennel manager, Denali National said to go in one direction, but the Park and Preserve, for help with this issue. dog refused.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I relocated to Florida a little over a year ago and were quickly welcomed into our new neighbors’ social whirl. Two couples in the neighborhood are gay — one male, one female. While they are nice enough, my husband and I did not include them when it was our turn to host because we do not approve of their lifestyle choices. Since then, we have been excluded from neighborhood gatherings, and someone even suggested that we are bigots!

Abby, we moved here from a conservative community where

people were pretty much the same.

If people were “different,” they apparently kept it to themselves.

While I understand the phrase “when in Rome,” I don’t feel we should have to compromise our values just to win the approval of our neighbors. But really, who is the true bigot here? Would you like to weigh in?

UNHAPPY IN TAMPA DEAR UNHAPPY: I sure would. The first thing I’d like to say is that regardless of what you were told in your previous community, a person’s sexual orientation isn’t a “lifestyle choice.”

Gay people don’t choose to be gay; they are born that way. They can’t change being gay any more than you can change being heterosexual.

I find it interesting that you are unwilling to reciprocate the hospitality of people who welcomed you and opened their homes to you, and yet you complain because you are receiving similar treatment.

From where I sit, you may have

COMICS

chosen the wrong place to live because it appears you would be happier in a less integrated neighborhood surrounded by people who think the way you do. But if you interact only with people like yourselves, you will have missed a chance for growth, which is what you have been offered here. Please don’t blow it.

#####

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and in high school. My father died in a car accident when I was 8. A man who attends my church took me under his wing and has been like a father to me ever since. He is very supportive most of the time. However, he spanks me with a belt when he feels I misbehave.

My mom doesn’t know about it because she works long hours to support the family. I like the nurturing and encouragement this man gives me, but I can’t take another beating. What should I do?

BLUE IN THE SOUTHWEST

DEAR BLUE: What you are describing is a form of child abuse. This “nurturing” man has no right to hit you.

You shouldn’t have to tolerate being beaten in order to feel supported.

Tell your mother what has been going on, or a teacher or a counselor at your school. You appear to be an intelligent young man. Your silence is what enables those beatings to continue, so please do not remain silent about this any longer.

Family Circus

#####

DEAR ABBY: If you are divorced from your wife, do her parents remain your in-laws? This is to settle a disagreement.

SHARON IN TEXAS DEAR SHARON: Legally, no. But relationships are not always based on legality. Sometimes divorced couples remain extended family members, particularly if there are children involved.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: In a previous column, you wrote that the American Egg Board suggests storing eggs in the refrigerator in the egg carton with the expiration date on it. There are two large, popular food stores in my area that sell eggs. Neither of them prints the EXPIRATION DATE on the carton.

They print a code instead.

I currently have two cartons of eggs in my refrigerator, each purchased from a different food store.

The code on one of them is 050 P1065. Someone told me that the code refers to which week of the year it is.

I wish they would put the date on it instead. Any thoughts?

Lori F., via email

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

The three-number code you are referring to is the JULIAN DATE. It will read 001 to represent Jan. 1 and 365 as Dec. 31. This represents what day the eggs were packed. So, your carton number would be read as Feb. 19 for 050. You have four to five weeks AFTER that date to use the eggs.

The “P-number” represents the plant that packaged the eggs. The plant that processed your eggs is No. 1065. Confusing? Yes. I’m with you and would prefer to have just a clearly printed expiration date.

Heloise ##### SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com Dear Heloise: I’ve been using large flour tortillas for years as impromptu pizza crusts.

Just spread the tortilla with a dab of leftover spaghetti sauce, some grated cheese, pieces of salami, ham or other lunchmeats and random vegetables. Pop in the toaster oven, and you have a quick and easy lunch.

Also, the other day, when I was out of hot-dog buns, I used half a tortilla to wrap around a precooked sausage before heating it in the microwave.

Susan, via email Dear Heloise: If a small amount of sugar is required in a salad or salad dressing and all I have is confectioners’ sugar, can I substitute it? — A Reader in California If you substitute confectioners’ sugar for granulated sugar, the taste may be the same, but the consistency might be off. But my motto is “Hey, why run to the store if you don’t have to?” Also, don’t tell on yourself, and your family or friends probably will not know the difference. As long as it tastes good, that’s all that counts in my book.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: Taking food somewhere after cooking is always a challenge. Here is a hint I have come up with: After cooking in my big, enamel-coated cast-iron pot, I just tape the lid to the bottom with painter’s tape. Keeps food in and leaves no residue once removed.

Jennifer K. in Colorado Dear Heloise: I freeze garbage until trash pickup day. In the winter, our newspaper is delivered in an orange plastic bag to make it easier to see in the snow. I use the orange bags for freezer garbage.
