Roswell Kiwanis Club held its 42nd annual Pancake Breakfast at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, Saturday.

“We have a blast doing it — everyone really pitches in,” Kathleen Sher man, Roswell Kiwanis Club secretary, said. “We get everything ready to go the night

before and start serving pancakes at six in the morning.”

According to Sherman, Kiwanis Clubs from around the world have had pancake breakfasts since the 1930s. She pointed out the reciprocal ef fect of the breakfasts.

“They feed the whole city and we make a nice profit to be able to help the community,” she said. “The city

of Roswell has supported this for years. We have never come up short. We always have done really well and have had wonderful support.”

The $5 benefit breakfast, featuring pancakes of all shapes and sizes and delicious breakfast sausages, drew thousands of Roswell citizens throughout the day. The breakfast also included music and various kinds of entertainment from local acts.

Money raised from the pancake breakfast will be delegated to several Roswell youth organizations including the Boys & Girls Club, Boy and Girl scouts, Kiwanis Key clubs at Goddard, Roswell and University high schools and the Youth ChalleNGe Academy.

“We are super thankful to the people of Roswell,” Felix Torres, Roswell Kiwanis president said. “This is our biggest money raiser of the year, and it all goes toward the youth of Roswell.”

More than 67 local sponsors, in addition to members of the Roswell community contributed to Saturday’s breakfast. Torres said the total amount of funds raised won’t be known until next week.

For battered Japan, a new Business tax increase heads to state Senate threat: nuclear meltdown SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico will pay $128 million in higher taxes next year to maintain the solvency of the state’s unemployment compensation program under proposed legislation before state senators.

The legislation was approved unanimously by the Senate Finance Committee on Saturday. It goes to the Senate for debate and a vote.

The bill will cut costs of the unemployment program by trimming some benefits.

Currently, jobless workers can receive an extra $25 for each of four dependents.

The measure will limit those supplemental payments to two dependents.

The program for jobless workers is expected to run

IWAKI, Japan (AP) —A partial meltdown was likely under way at a second nuclear reactor, a top Japanese of ficial said today, as authorities frantically tried to prevent a similar threat from nearby unit following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

Some 170,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the area covering a radius of 12 miles around the plant in Fukushima near Iwaki. A meltdown refers to a very serious collapse of a AP Photo power plant’s systems and its ability to manage In this video image taken from NTV Japan via APTN, smoke rises from Fukushima Daiichi power plant’s Unit 1 in Okumamachi, Fukushima prefecture, Japan, Saturday.

Benefits will be eliminated for most unemployed individuals who are attending school full-time, and the state will no longer pay half of the costs for benefits beyond 99 weeks. If the federal government doesn’t cover the full cost of those extended benefits, they won’t be available in New Mexico.

Residents are eligible for jobless benefits for up to 93 weeks, with the state picking up the tab for the first

Torres gets 36 years Prison Door brings 2-day revival JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

LeRoy Torres, 55, of Roswell, was sentenced Friday morning to 36 years for 24 counts on charges ranging from criminal sexual contact to distribution of child pornography.

The investigation by the New Mexico State Police resulted from a tip from Watertown Police Department in South Dakota.

Authorities there contacted Torres over the Internet, where he tried to solicit the undercover officer.

According to the original criminal complaint filed in

Magistrate Court in February 2010, Torres suggested that the child (the undercover officer posing as a 13-year -old girl) send explicit pictures of herself.

Judge Ralph D. Shamas said during sentencing, “I’ve got to tell you that I have a hard time looking at you. After these despicable acts, I can’t find any reason to have mercy.”

Then Shamas sentenced Torres to the maximum time allowed by the plea bargain agreement which was enacted to spare the victims from having to tesSee TORRES, Page A3

to Roswell Correctional Center JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

About 24 miles south of Roswell, men in orange outfits gathered under a blue and yellow tent, in revival, to sing gospel songs and take in the preaching and testimonies of volunteers from Prison Door Inc., a nonprofit Christian-based ministry, at Roswell Correctional Center, Saturday.

“We want to thank Mr. Hendricks, (RCC Deputy Warden) for allowing us to participate in this tent revival,” Johnny Gonzales, a volunteer with Prison Door Inc., said.

“He has lifted up the spirits of a lot of men, who have really enjoyed themselves.”

The eight hour revival for the 312 inmates of RCC serving sentences of four years or less, saw an unusual display of

encouragement, fellowship and unity, among faithful, jubilant, yet incarcerated men, who came together under the hot New Mexico sun.

“This means a lot to us, because a lot of outside people are coming here and praying for us — giving us hope. So when we get out, we can really serve God,” Steven White, 42, of Hobbs, said.

New Mexico Military Institute JROTC Cadets participated in service learning projects at Mesa Middle and Nancy Lopez Elementary schools last week.

“It was a unique opportunity for me to work with elementary school kids,” Nate Meredith, JROTC cadet, said. “I had never really been able to do that. Getting to work with them and teach them was rather interesting. These kids were ready to learn.

They had a lot of fun learning.”

“It was nice to be able to help them in classes,” Angel Cross, JROTC cadet said. “They started to look up to us toward the end of the day. A lot of them talked to us, saying they wanted to go to school (at NMMI). I thought that it was really cool that the kids found an interest in what we were doing there and found an interest in us.”

From Monday through Thursday, cadets assisted kindergarten through eighth-grade teachers in the classroom with various projects. Cadets also spent time tutoring students in subjects like English, math and science.

“At Mesa ... I started out in an English classroom,” R yan Tur ner, JROTC cadet, said. “After that, I moved to a math classroom. Kids had a lot of questions about understanding the concepts. It was the best lear ning experience.”

According to cadets, students were bubbling with excitement and enthusiasm throughout the week. Meredith was amazed with the “barrage of questions” from fifthgraders at Nancy Lopez.

“They were so curious, as to what our school was like,” he said. “I got so

many questions, I can’t even count how many.”

At Nancy Lopez, cadets assisted parents with student drop-of f in the mor ning, as a part of safety month. They also taught students basic drill exercises and marching techniques in physical education class, in addition to helping teachers organize materials for lessons throughout the week.

“The kids were very excited,” Jennifer Bolaños, Nancy Lopez principal, said. “The cadets were good role models for the students, who were amazed with the big kids.”

According to Tur ner, students weren’t the only ones grateful to have cadets in the classroom.

“The teachers were really excited to see us,” he said. “At the middle school level, the teachers were really swamped with kids and work. Having cadets there, even for a week, made a huge difference. All the teachers loved having us there. I think it was really important helping them out.”

Sgt. 1st Class Eddie Baros, JROTC instructor, said cadets developed the project and “determined ways to assist at the schools.” He said cadets decided that volunteering

at Mesa and Nancy Lopez “was the best way for them to help the community.”

“They came up with a number of projects, but this one was the most popular one, going to the middle school and elementary school and helping out students,” Baros said.

As a part of their project, cadets are required to evaluate their service learning experiences.

“They will deter mine what went well, what needs improvement and how they can do a better job next time,” Baros said. “They had a marvelous time.”

The cadets reflected on the importance and impact of their service learning.

“Projects like this help people from our school connect with those in the community, because it’s a great opportunity for us to meet people that we normally wouldn’t have a chance to meet,” Meredith said.

“It was an opportunity for us to lear n new things, while we were participating in a type of service for our community,” Cross said. “Hopefully, it will lead to more projects that we will be able to do in the future.” j.entzminger@roswell-record.com

Japan dealt with the nuclear threat as it struggled to determine the scope of the twin disasters Friday, when an 8.9-magnitude earthquake was followed by a tsunami that ravaged its northeastern coast with breathtaking speed and power.

Deputy District Attorney Alan Griffin pointed out that if the plea bargain had not been reached, Torres could have been sentenced to 242 years for his crimes.

Media reports said some 10,000 people were missing or unaccounted for.

The quake and tsunami damaged three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which lost its cooling functions necessary to keep the fuel rods functioning properly. At first the Unit 1 reactor was in trouble with an explosion destroying the walls of the room in which it is placed. Later, Unit 3 also began to experience problems.

or about 72 percent from rates that took effect this year. Rates vary for businesses depending on their history of unemployment claims.

If the legislation is enacted, it will be the second straight year for a tax increase on businesses to shore up the unemployment fund. If the fund becomes insolvent, New Mexico will have to borrow money from the federal government to pay bene-

fits to jobless workers.

Taxes on employers would need to increase to the highest rate under state law — averaging $512 a year for each of its workers — to rebuild the fund and repay the federal government’s loan.

The highest tax rate is “absolutely a job killer,” Matthew Gonzales, of the Association of Commerce, and Industry told lawmakers. The statewide business group supports

the legislation.

The unemployment fund had a balance of nearly $159 million last month and is being drained because of continued high unemployment, which was 8.7 percent in January — up from 8.1 percent in January 2010.

The state paid nearly $936,000 a day in jobless benefits during January, according to the Department of Workforce Solutions.

Spending time in a desert far from New Mexico

We’re still safe after tromping through the desert for four days. We weren’t taken hostage.

Ther e just wasn’t time to do anything more than recover from one trip and get ready for the next. The rest of the cruise will be easier but one of the main reasons we wanted to come was to see Mount Sinai, P e t r a a n d t h e Va l l e y o f t h e Kings. They just all happened to come four days in a row. Valley of the Kings was a two-day o v e r n i g h t i n L u x o r. A l l w e l l worth it.

best thing I’ve ever eaten. They opened a second restaurant in Aspen, had a horrible car wreck on a snowy road near there and Faith was never the same again.

When all of a sudden, what should appear but a big, empty new bus, which evidently follows all Egyptian convoys. It certainly was a welcome sight.

We h a d n o t i c e d t h a t w h e n a vehicle breaks down or wrecks, it is just left beside the road.

Towing a vehicle 50 miles does noxt seem to be worth it. I’m still thinking about our poor bus driver trying to nurse his

bus back to civilization.

Most of the roads through the desert have no lines. It wouldn’t matter. Buses still pass each other on hills and just hope everyone gets out of the way.

Amazingly, they usually do.

They even pass when they see a car in the oncoming lane. The roads don’t look like they would accommodate thr ee abr east, but they do.

Honest and fair elections

Perhaps the only good thing about the Supreme Court’s ruling last year in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was that it called for greater transparency in political campaign contributions.

By a 5-4 majority, the court ruled that corporations and unions were, in effect, citizens with the right to spend unlimited amounts of money on issue advertisements or advocacy.

Eight of the justices (Clarence Thomas being the outlier) agreed that donors, corporate as well as individual, should have to disclose their identities.

In his majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote: “With the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters.

It didn’t quite work out like that. Venal political operatives — most notably Karl Rove, former political adviser to President George W. Bush, and billionaire industrialist David Koch — found a way for corporate donors to avoid disclosure.

“Social welfare” groups set up under Section 501(c)4 of the Internal Revenue code don’t have to disclose the names of donors. Such a group may dabble in political activity, IRS rules say, “so long as that is not its primary activity.”

Before Citizens United, 501(c)4s didn’t take money from corporations and unions because they’d have to disclose their donors’ names.

Since Citizens United, all bets are off. They spent at least $85 million on U.S. Senate races last year, all without disclosing where the money came from.

In October, Public Citizen, a left-leaning consumer and public policy organization founded by Ralph Nader, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against the best-known of the political 501(c)4s, conceived by Mr. Rove and former GOP National Chairman Ed Gillespie.

Public Citizen alleges that Crossroads GPS is a political committee, not a social welfare organization. Its clear intention was to “influence the 2010 federal elections and to elect Republicans to federal office,” the complaint charged.

Mr. Rove himself has all but acknowledged this to be true.

But there is also no doubt that the FEC is completely useless as a watchdog agency. The FEC by statute has six commissioners, three from each party.

The terms of three of the commissioners already have expired; the terms of two others are up on April 30. In theory, President Barack Obama could appoint five new commissioners (two Republicans and three Democrats) and kick the watchdog into action.

But they’d all have to survive Senate confirmation, and there is no greater opponent of campaign finance reform than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He could bring the Senate to a halt over the issue.

There are few issues facing the country more important than the integrity of elections.

Though he refused public money in his own election to avoid spending limits, Mr. Obama says he supports strong campaign finance laws. It’s time for him to prove it.

Guest Editorial The St. Louis Post-Dispatch DEAR DR. GOTT: I am writing in regards to your column about the woman with activity-induced hives.

I, too, had a problem similar to that of the reader.

I had gone to have a facial and bought some of the products they offered. About a week or 10 days later, I started getting hives. They would appear out of nowhere. If I bumped my arm, a few minutes later I would have hives in that area.

As it progressed, my feet and hands would swell up. My lips would swell even with pressure.

Sometimes the hives would appear like a thousand mosquito bites, and within 10 minutes would disappear.

Some days all I could do was sit on the couch because I didn’t want to cause the hives to appear.

This went on for months. I went to my regular doctor and saw an allergist. The specialist could find

Hunting down terrorists, not witches In Times Square last Sunday, an estimated 1,000 people gathered to protest the March 10 hearings before Rep. Peter King’s Committee on Homeland Security titled “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.”

The protesters called the hearings a “witch hunt.”

Since there are no “witches” of the type portrayed in “Macbeth” or “The Wizard of Oz,” the term is used to disparage people who believe there are terrorists and potential terrorists hiding among us. Events dating back long before Sept.

nothing that I was allergic to that would cause hives like I was experiencing. I was on Allegra for more than a year. During all this, I gave my daughter the cleanser I had gotten after the facial.

After about a year, I quit taking the Allegra and didn’t have any hives. I was OK for a while. I started using the cleanser again, and the hives came back! Years earlier,

The witness list isn’t bad, per se, but it is incomplete. It includes Abdirizak Bihi, a Somali immigrant living in Minneapolis who, as director of the Somali Education and Social Advocacy Center, works with Somali youth to dissuade them from turning radical. Bihi told Richard Meryhew and Allie Shah of the Star Tribune that

when I was pregnant, I read about sorbitol and learned of some of the problems it can cause. I had been taking an antacid for heartburn when I was pregnant and had had an unexplained case of diarrhea that went on for several weeks.

Fast-forward to the facial cleanser: It contained sorbitol.

Since then, I have found that several members of my family cannot tolerate anything with sorbitol in it.

Sugar-free gums (sweetened with sorbitol) give my youngest child diarrhea within 30 minutes. My younger sister has hives like I do when she uses products such as shampoo, soaps and beauty products that contain sorbitol. My aunt gets hives after eating sugar-free candy. So, when I read this letter to you, and saw that the woman had been on Weight Watchers. I thought she was likely using diet products with no sugar that were sweetened

he committed himself to working with young people after his 18-year-old nephew, Burhan Hassan, was recruited to fight in Somalia and then was “shot in the head after refusing an order.” Burhan was killed, NPR’s Dina Temple-Raston reported in 2009, the very week his family had hoped to “celebrate his graduation.”

Another witness is Melvin Bledsoe, father of Carlos Bledsoe (aka Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad).

DEAR READER: Sorbitol is a known laxative. In fact, it has been added to certain medications specifically for that reason. Actidose with sorbitol is one of those medications; it is used to bind poisons and other toxic substances in the body, and then aid removal by inducing a bowel movement. Sorbitol is also available by prescription as a urologic irrigation solution used to remove debris and prevent infection following bladder and other urinarytract surgeries.

Side effects include allergic reaction (hives, rash, difficulty breathing, itching, etc.), chest pain, vomitSee GOTT, Page A5

soe/Muhammad had spent 16 months in Yemen, where he apparently was radicalized before returning to the U.S. to conduct his personal jihad. In a handwritten letter to the presiding judge in his case, Muhammad, claiming ties to al-Qaida, said he carried out the attack “because he was mad at the U.S. military because of what they had done to Muslims in the past.”

Finding a balance in how you spend your time Roswell Daily Record

I received an advertisement in the mail offering tips on how to organize your life.

There were 10 points it suggested to be followed. I can’t remember the first point, but I remember the second point talked about the importance of only “touching” things once. It said something along the lines of “If you are going to throw something away later, save time and throw it away now.” I followed the mailing’s advice and threw the envelope and the flyer in the trash. From time to time I wonder what the remaining eight tips were! I guess I will never know.

The average person receives between 2,000 and 3,000 pieces of information a day. The average businessperson receives 190 requests for his time and energy each day. The average businessperson wastes 150 hours each year looking for stuff. Add 10 hours to that and you have an entire

Republican. Ellison will no doubt warn us against stereotyping all Muslims because of the actions of “a few.” But what if those “few” (and it doesn’t take many to kill, as we have seen) are hiding among peaceful Muslims? Can authorities locate them? What will they do if they find them? Will they continue with “sensitivity training,” hoping that if we are nice to them, they’ll be nicer to us?

In these hearings, and in dealing with the radicalization problem in general, do we fully understand that radical Muslims believe their religion allows them to lie to “infidels” and to advance their cause of creating a world Islamic caliphate?

Shouldn’t that make us wary of their testimony?

People more knowledgeable than those on King’s witness list will not be testifying, though some have been invited to submit written statements. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum would be one useful expert. So would Steve Emerson, executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Ditto historian and Islamic scholar Bernard Lewis, who knows as much about the beliefs and political agenda of radical Islamists as anyone alive.

Pipes opposed the hearings because he thinks they won’t go far enough. In an

more or one second less than anyone else. Some of us are given more time on this planet than others. Yet we live a day at a time.

Sometimes, as we go through our day it seems we are constantly being challenged with information and events coming at us beyond our control.

We choose how to handle the flood of outside information as we struggle to keep our head above water. How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. Time is here and then it is gone.

If we tried to categorize how we use our time, we might break it into four general categories: work, entertainment, growth and giving.

We could come up with more categories if we wanted to further break out the four categories to include sleeping time or time spent getting ready for your day. For today’s column let’s focus on the four general categories

email exchange, he says he is “particularly disturbed by (King’s) privileging of Muslims over non-Muslims, an unexpected act of dhimmitude.”

Noting the title of the hearings, Pipes says, “The hearings are on two quite specific topics ...” which, he says, “are not topics for generalists and amateurs but for witnesses who have either studied them or who have first-hand experience with them.”

Even if Pipes, Emerson and Lewis had been invited to testify, what difference would it have made? With the White House bending over backward to deny the undeniable — that radicals are among us and new ones are being recruited to kill Americans and harm our economy — what action would government authorities take to root them out, arrest, or deport them? Could politicians stand against cries of “Islamophobia” and “Nazi tactics” that would predictably be hurled at them?

In a nation obsessed with Charlie Sheen and celebrity, the media are unlikely to practice the kind of serious investigative journalism necessary to warn the public of another 9/11.

Given these undeniable truths, witches don’t look so bad.

mentioned.

Work time is time we spend to keep a roof over our head, food on our table and clothes on our back. It is the time we spent making income; time rewarded with a paycheck. Obviously this is time that is critical to our very existence. It must occur, and must be a priority. This is generally the most stressful time we regularly experience. In many instances individuals are unhappy and unfulfilled with how they spend this time. Because so much of our life is spent working, we need to each have a positive experience in what we do for income day to day. Many people need to change jobs or at least change their attitude toward their jobs.

The most relaxing time we spend is time spent being entertained. Most people live for these times. Entertainment time would include time watching television or a sporting event. It would include going out to a movie, listening to a CD, or reading a romance novel. It is time that is basically stress free.

This is free time a person can choose to do whatever they want. The time spent here is not productive time in a financial sense but it increases our quality of life and our enjoyment of life.

Another time we spend is “growth” time. This is time we spend learning and growing. We might read an educational book or take a college level course. We might watch a documentary on tel-

evision, listen to a motivational tape, visit our library, or exercise our body. Time spent here better equips us both to handle the present and the future. We learn and become a better person from improving our self. I think this is the time most people are missing in their life. It takes a conscious effort to set aside growth time.

The fourth use of our time is giving time. This is time we invest in others. Time spent here would include attending a parent-teacher conference, working with a little league team, or doing community service. It would include painting another’s home with your church group or helping out at a senior center. Volunteerism would fall in this category. It is time unconditionally given to others. The time spent increases the value of another or others lives. It is fulfilling time because we cannot bring happiness into the life of others without bringing happiness into our own life.

Many hybrids between these four exist and much of what we do could fit into more than one category. For example, family time might include giving time, entertainment time and growth time. Time with your church group might include giving time and growth time.

How does a typical week break out for you? What percentage of your waking time falls into each category? We need to have a healthy balance between these categories. If we spend 80 per-

ing, confusion, diarrhea, seizures, changes in heart rate and more.

Sorbitol, as you already know, is also used as an artificial sweetener in many sugar-free products and as thickener and humectant (aids moisture retention) in cosmetics and many other products. It can also be produced within the body and can cause eye and nerve damage in diabetics.

cent of our waking time working, we are neglecting the other three areas. If we watch television every night for four hours, we are too heavy on the entertainment category.

I recognize the value of time and that it is a limited resource. I am therefore conscious of how my hours are spent. I seek to strike my own balance between these areas. For example, I enjoy entertainment time, but choosing between entertainment time and growth time, I usually choose the opportunity to grow.

I also apply these categories to my children. I don’t mind some television watching, but it should not be a primary activity and it should be balanced with growth or giving time.

My challenge to you today is for you to think through how your time is spent.

Today will be gone tomorrow.

Are you too heavy in one area and weak in another?

How much time are you spending in growth time?

How much time are you spending in giving time as a volunteer? Find a balance that works for you and be the best you can be.

Preparation for disasters is key This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by Neighborhood Watch and the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

The 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan makes me think of disaster preparedness in our own backyard. While it is rare in southeastern New Mexico for us to have a natural disaster of any significance, we should always be prepared for some unknown situation.

This part of New Mexico is blessed with a highly experienced and knowledgeable disaster preparedness coordinator in Teresa Barncastle, and she will handle the “big picture.” But meanwhile, we as citizens and neighbors should make sure we have considered those things which are directly related to our homes and our families.

Therefore, here are a few tips to alleviate the mass confusion which can occur during and after any disaster. There are countless internet sites where you can go for information. I got most of this from www.preparedness.com, but you should dig much deeper for more information.

Know your house: • Place a flashlight or an emergency light next to your breaker panel.

• Place a wrench or a suitable tool near your water meter near the street and your gas meter.

• Evaluate each room in your house.

Ask yourself: what will fall on my head or keep me from getting out of the room.

Secure those things you may find.

• Hang heavy items such as pictures and mirrors away from beds, couches, and anywhere people sit.

• Fasten shelves securely to walls and put large or heavy objects on the lower shelves. Breakable items such as bottled foods, glass and china should be in low closed cabinets with latches.

• Make sure that bleach and ammonia are not stored in the same cabinet.

When mixed, these chemicals create a toxic and highly deadly gas.

• Identify the best and worst places to

be in your house. Remember that you may not have any choice as to where you will be located when a disaster strikes. The best places inside the house are under major beams which are secured to the structure, or in strong doorways, or inner structural walls. The worst places are in front of windows or near fireplaces or chimneys.

• Make an emergency plan including escape routes and meeting places.

Choose a nearby meeting place and an out of state relative who can be your check-in contact for the family. And then, test your emergency plan with all your family present.

• Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and near sleeping areas.

Finally, there are many other aspects of your life which also should be evaluated. Your office or place of work. Your car. Your neighbors. Your family. There are lists and more lists of supplies and emergency items of all kinds which should be considered. Do some research of your own. This column is purely to stir up your interest.

Thinking about setting up a Neighborhood Watch? Call Richard and Steve at 622-SAFE (7233) for information. And don’t forget, the number for Chaves County Crime Stoppers is 1-888-594TIPS (8477).

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS GEORGIA TECH FIRES HEWITT

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who took the Yellow Jackets to the Final Four in 2004, was fired Saturday after his fourth losing season in the past six years.

Athletic director Dan Radakovich said a national search for a replacement would begin immediately, adding that Georgia Tech president Bud Peterson agreed “this decision is in the best interest of Georgia Tech.”

“I am very appreciative of Paul Hewitt's dedication to Georgia Tech for the last 11 years,” Radakovich said.

“Paul is an outstanding person who has made a positive impact on so many of our student-athletes.”

But, as the losing seasons piled up, attendance dipped dramatically at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The Yellow Jackets failed to sell out any games this season at the 9,100-seat arena and wants to turn things around before they move into a new arena in 2012.

“Today we will begin a quest to re-engage our fan base and set about to bring new energy and enthusiasm to Georgia Tech basketball,” Radakovich said.

The Yellow Jackets’ season ended Thursday night with a 59-43 loss to Virginia Tech in the opening round of the ACC tournament. They finished 13-18 overall, 5-11 in the ACC. Hewitt had a 190-162 record in 11 seasons with the Yellow Jackets, leading the school to five NCAA tournament appearances. The highlight came in 2004, when they made a surprising run all the way to the national championship game before losing to Connecticut.

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ALBUQUERQUE — All season long, the Hagerman boys basketball team has ridden its senior core of Michael Garcia, Isaac Bejarano, Edward Montoya, Ryan Gomez and Damian Hamilton.

It came as little surprise then that when the Bobcats needed them most, the five soon-to-be graduates stepped up.

Thanks to big fourth quarter plays by those five players, Hagerman downed Cliff 70-58 in the Class 1A State Championship game at The Pit on Saturday.

Seniors Damian Hamilton (20) and Dylan Sant celebrate before a late timeout in Hagerman’s win, Saturday.

The championship, the first basketball title for Hager man since it won back-to-back crowns in 1923 and 1924, was the culmination of a lifetime of work for the Bobcats.

“It is really special,” Garcia said about winning the title. “We’ve been dreaming about this our whole life.

We’ve always talked about it since we were underclassmen and I’m just glad it finally happened.”

Bejarano said that it was great to bring the title back to Hagerman.

“It feels great to come out victorious and stick to our game plan and beat a good team like Cliff,” he said.

“It’s great to bring one back to our hometown, the town we’ve been living at our whole life. We finally brought it back.”

Hagerman’s 31st game of the season was perhaps its toughest as they squared off against the Cowboys, who also entered the title tilt with an unblemished record.

The Bobcats (31-0) took an early lead thanks to four offensive rebounds on its first possession. Montoya snared the final rebound and kicked it out to Bejarano, who drilled the open 3,

He hit two shots in less than 30 seconds to tie the game at 11.

The two teams traded baskets on their next possessions before Montoya scored four straight points for the Bobcats, giving them a 17-16 lead after the first quarter.

Mestas said that the first quarter was an adjustment quarter for his team. “(It was) a little feeling them out,” he said. “I just think we were playing in a different environment and after these guys started going, it was good stuff.”

The good stuf f really started in the second for the Bobcats.

Clif f took a temporary lead to start the quarter after a basket by Mayberry, but a score by Montoya and two free throws by Garcia gave Hager man a 21-18 lead with 6:22 left.

Española Valley downs Goddard in championship game, 55-52 LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ALBUQUERQUE — They beat a 20-5 Grants team in double overtime to reach Albuquerque.

They followed that up by blowing out top-seeded Gallup, 72-54, and No. 4 Piedra Vista, 73-46.

In the Class 4A state championship, the Goddard boys basketball team had a 48-43 lead with 1:41 left and it seemed as if the glass slipper would be going on the Rockets’ feet.

But No. 2 Española Valley, and in particular Rodney Coles, made sure Goddard’s Cinderella season wouldn’t end with a fairytale ending.

Coles scored his team’s final 14 points as the Sundevils captured that elusive state title with a thrilling 55-52 win over the Rockets on Saturday at The Pit. Española coach Richard Martinez said that getting the proverbial monkey off his back was a rush.

“What a rush,” he laughed. “I tell you, since we won before it was a rush. We had a huge monkey on our back year after year and disappointment after disappointment. Let me tell you one thing, it was the hardest thing I have ever done as a human being, as far as my job coaching.

“It was probably just as hard for the gentlemen doing the job on the court.

What a job they did.”

What a job Coles did late.

Goddard trailed 38-33 at the start of the fourth and quickly cut the deficit to one after two buckets by Erik Johnson.

The Sundevils pushed the lead back to three after two free throws by Zac Trujillo, but the Rockets’ Chase Salazar tied the game up on the next possession with a 3.

After a Johnson block, Ruben Otero hit one of two from the line, giving Goddard its first lead since the 2:32 mark of the first quarter.

A basket by Lane Vander Hulst with 4:15 left grew the Rocket lead to three and, 1:24 later, David Sweet’s hoop gave Goddard a 45-41 lead.

That is when Coles took over.

Over the final 2:51, Coles was the only player to attempt a shot for Española.

He stole the ball after missing a shot and hit on a layup to cut the lead to 4543.

A field goal by Salazar and a free throw from Johnson gave Goddard a five-point lead with 1:41 left, but Coles converted on an old-fashioned 3-point play and a modern 3 in a

After Coles’ 3, the Rockets turned the ball over and fouled Coles with 41.8 seconds left and he calmly knocked down both freebies to make the score 5148.

Vander Hulst cut the Goddard deficit to 51-50 after grabbing an offensive board and scoring on the putback, but the Rockets had to foul and Coles once again hit both shots to put his team up by three.

Johnson scored with just over 13 seconds left to make the score 53-52, but Coles hit two more from the line and Johnson’s lastsecond 3 clanged harmlessly off the rim, securing the Española victory.

The Sundevils lost a nailbiter in the championship game to Roswell a year ago and Coles said he wasn’t going to let that happen again.

“Last year, we came out too late and they were able to get us,” he said. “But this time, I wasn’t going to let it go. I had to focus on those free throws and hit them down the stretch.

Even though I missed some shots there late in the game, with a minute left, that’s still an eternity left.

“There’s so much time left in the game that you can’t panic and throw up shots and hope for prayers.

You have to take your time

of the game, or at least that’s what Cliff coach Pete Shock thought.

Shock sent Shelley to the bench after the foul, trying to protect him from picking up his third foul, but the official scorebook charged the foul to someone else and Shelley only had one, information that was never relayed to Cliff.

After Shelley went to the bench, Hagerman went on a 16-8 run that was fueled

by Bejarano.

The senior guard had three field goals, two of which were from beyond the arc, and two assists during the Bobcat run.

Bejarano’s second assist led to a highlight reel play from Montoya.

Montoya took Bejarano’s pass on the right wing, drove to his left and took off from outside the paint.

He twisted in mid-air and with his back to the basket, flicked a shot behind his head that found the bottom of the net.

That series of plays by Hagerman’s senior guards was no surprise to Shock.

“It’s the same thing he’s done to everybody else’s defense all year,” he said regarding Montoya’s penetration. “Montoya and Bejarano, they are two of the finest guards, bar class.

Those two kids every time I’ve watched them or film I’ve seen, they break down everybody’s defense. Both of them are extremely quick and they’re physical.

“They take contact very well and because they shoot so good, you have to close out on them and close out on them deep. That just opens up the opportunity for them to penetrate.”

Clif f scored the final three points of the half, as Hager man took a 37-29 lead into the break Shock said that the run while Shelley was on the bench was huge.

“It was huge, it is absolutely huge,” he said.

“You can’t blame it on our book because the officials changed it at halftime.”

Even before the foul trouble, however, the 6-foot-7 sophomore had little impact thanks to the Bobcat defense.

“We stuck to our game plan,” Hager man coach Anthony Mestas said. “We wanted to front him and have backside help. We saw them play Springer and

Edward Montoya (1) drives around Cliff’s Travis Mayberry.

Springer didn’t do a good job on that, so we stuck to our game plan. We doubled him when he had the ball and we made him kick it out.

“Michael (Garcia) stepped up, he really did. He intercepted a lot of passes and altered a lot of shots down there on the low post.”

Shock said that his team would have liked to get the ball to Shelley more, but the defensive pressure on top didn’t allow for that to happen.

“We obviously would have liked to get the ball (to Tate) a lot more times than we did,” he said. “Part of that was the really good defensive pressure (Hagerman) put on our guards. It was not easy for them to get the looks to get him the ball the way we normally do. We obviously needed to get the ball to him more.”

At the start of the second half, Montoya pushed the lead to double digits with a hoop, but the Cliff defense tightened after that.

The Cowboys allowed only a layup by Garcia over the next 4 minutes and were able to cut the deficit to six with 4:35 left.

Hager man pushed the lead back to eight after three offensive rebounds led to a Garcia basket.

The Bobcats took a 48-38 lead with 2:38 left, but wouldn’t score the rest of the quarter.

Cliff took advantage of the drought and scored the final seven points of the quarter to close to within three heading into the fourth.

The Cowboys started the final quarter with Junior Hernandez hitting one of two from the line, making the score 48-46.

A bank shot from Gomez pushed the Bobcat lead

back to four with 7:32 left, but their lead was back down to two just 20 seconds later after a layup by Mayberry.

Cliff had three chances to tie or take the lead, but as it’s done all season, the Hager man defense and Garcia, rose to the occasion.

On three consecutive Cowboy possessions, Garcia snared a defensive rebound, stole the ball and blocked a layup attempt, preserving the Bobcat lead.

Cliff’s inability to score on any of those three possessions was the difference in the game, according to Shock.

“When it was 52-50, I don’t want to exaggerate, but I think we had at least three possessions with the ball, with an opportunity to tie it up or take a lead,” he said. “We didn’t get it done.

I think that could have changed the whole ballgame.”

Hamilton gave Hagerman a four -point lead with a layup.

Garcia scored a minute later to make the score 5450 and the Bobcats closed the game by scoring at least one point on nine of its last 10 possessions.

Fittingly enough, the game’s final two points were scored by Bejarano, the state’s all-time leading scorer.

Mestas said that the senior leadership led to the title run for Hagerman.

“It is unbelievable these guys,” he said. “We’ve been riding (Montoya and Bejarano) all year. They are a one-two combo punch and we rode it all the way through The Pit. We won it behind these guys and Michael stepped up to play.

It was the seniors.

“These guys have been

The win was an emotional one for Hagerman, particularly the seniors.

“It is very emotional,” Garcia said about the win.

“It is hard to take especially when it is your last year and you are a senior. You know it is the last time you will be putting on this Hagerman jersey. It was pretty emotional, but I’m glad we ended it on a good note.”

The win over Clif f was exactly how Mestas wanted to end the season.

“This is the matchup we wanted,” he said. “We wanted to go and have two undefeated teams and let the game play out so we could say, ‘Hey, look we’re the No. 1 team.’ I can’t say enough about these kids, they are very, very coachable. They did everything I asked them to do.”

The win marked the end of an era for Hagerman and Mestas said he will miss the senior group.

“It is very, very special,” he said regarding his senior group. “To watch them grow each year and each year they got better. We did better as a team: We ran our sets correctly, we played our defense exceptionally well when we needed to. These seniors are very, very special and I’m going to miss them tremendously.”

Montoya led Hagerman with 27 points, while Bejarano added 19 points.

Garcia netted 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Bobcats.

Mayberry led Cliff (30-1) with 15 points. Hernandez had 13 and Shelley had 11.

and focus. I did on the 3 in the cor ner and then on those late free throws. I had to get the ball in my hands because I thrive for pressure like that. I zone out everyone and am able to make shots like that.”

Goddard coach Kevin Jones said that Coles did what leaders do — step up.

“He is a player and he makes plays,” he said.

“That’s what leaders do and he stepped up and put them on his shoulders and took them home. … He just wanted the ball and took over. He is hard to contain and that’s what leaders do.”

Martinez echoed those sentiments, saying that every great team has a stud and his closed out the win.

“Can I tell you the difference (between this year and teams of the past)?” he said. “Every great team has a stud. I have had great, great players that have been under my tenure. But there is one big difference between those boys and Rodney. It’s just that Rodney can finish.”

Up until those last few minutes, however, Goddard did a good job containing the Sundevils’ star player.

Before his closing spurt, Coles was just 4 of 14 from the field with 10 points and Salazar said they did a good job on him overall.

“We just had to contain

him and stop him from scoring,” he said. “We did a good job until we started scrambling at the end.”

Goddard had the Sundevils scrambling to start the game.

The Rockets started the game on a 5-2 run after two buckets by Vander Hulst and a free throw by Johnson.

Vander Hulst, who was battling a stomach virus, could only go in spurts for Goddard, but Jones said that his players stepped up in his absence.

“Those kids rallied together and they understand the true meaning of team,” he said. “If you lose a key player then other players have to step up. David (Sweet) did a great job.”

Sweet scored five points grabbed three and rebounds, in addition to playing hounding defense and providing a spark while helping fill Vander Hulst’s shoes.

“Really, I just tried to help as much as I could inside,” Sweet said. “Then

on defense, I tried to contribute as much as I could by taking charges and getting in people’s face and just doing anything I could to help out the team.”

After the early Rocket run, the Sundevils took an 11-10 lead after a 3 by Richie Mondragon with 2:52 left.

Española Valley took a 16-14 lead into the second and, 1:06 into the quarter, its lead had grown to six.

Baskets by Otero and Brandon Cooper cut the lead to 22-19, but the Rockets couldn’t get closer than three the rest of the quarter and the Sundevils led 29-25 at the break.

The Sundevils slowed the tempo of the game down in the third and that led to them taking a 37-27 lead with 4:30 left.

Goddard got back in the game at the end of the quarter when Sweet went 1 of 2 at the line and Salazar hit a 3 to cut the lead to five entering the final quarter.

Jones said that he was proud of his team and how

they improved every game.

“It is a process like anything else,” he said. “These kids developed good relationships with each other and we developed good relationships with them.

You guys that have seen us play, you know what a class act we are and that we have strong character.

We progressed every game and we got better.

“That’s what you strive for; you strive to be playing your best ball at this time and we were. … You know, I am so proud of the kids.

That is all that you can

ask, is just go play hard.

Go play hard and let’s see what happens. I am very proud.”

Johnson led Goddard with 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Salazar added nine.

Coles led all scorers with 24 points, while Mondragon netted 15 for the Sundevils.

Goodell, Pash slice salaries to $1 during lockout

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league general counsel Jeff Pash are slashing their salaries to $1 each during the lockout.

Goodell and Pash promised in January they would take salary cuts if there was a work stoppage. Goodell earns about $10 million a year, including bonuses, and Pash nearly $5 million.

Goodell also has asked the league's compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until there is a deal with the players' union.

Also taking cuts will be all league personnel at the New York headquarters, NFL Films in Mount Laurel, N.J., and at NFL Network and NFL.com in Culver City, Calif.

For now, salaries for those league employees will be reduced by 12 percent, an amount equal to two weeks' pay.

Local roundup: Goddard rallies to beat tRoswell RECORD STAFF REPORTS

The Goddard boys baseball team rallied from an 8-0 first-inning hole and improved to 6-1 with a 2414 win over Roswell on Saturday.

The Coyotes put up eight runs in the top of the first thanks to some patience at the plate.

“We got lots of walks in the first,” he said. “They started off pretty slow on the mound and our kids got a little bit of confidence and we hit in some runs.”

Goddard answered with five in the home half of the inning and took a 10-8 lead after the second.

The Rockets scored 11 runs in the final two innings to pull away.

Goddard coach Steven Nunez said that at first his team wasn’t ready for the game and that was his fault.

“It was pretty bad at first,” he said. “They scored eight runs on us and we’re in shock. The kids, they just didn’t respond as well. We were listening to the basketball game and we all weren’t mentally prepared. I didn’t have them ready and I should have.

“We came out flat and had to claw our way back into the game. (Coming back from an eight run deficit) is one good thing about this

Prep tennis

Goddard The Goddard girls tennis team finished fourth at the Roswell Invitational on Saturday.

The Rockets split their four matches with Las Vegas, beat Lovington 3-1, got swept by Farmington, won one match against St. Michael’s and won 4-0 against Roswell.

Goddard coach Becky Joyce said that her team did well and they know what they have to do to get better.

“Far mington was the state 4A team champions last year and only lost one senior from last year’s team,” she said. “They will be tough. This tournament gets our players ready for the rest of the season and there were a lot of good matches with these tougher teams. I’m happy with how my girls played.

“We have some things to

tune and have time to do that before the (Albuquerque) Academy tournament in April.”

The Goddard boys tennis team placed fifth at the Roswell Invite, by beating Roswell 3-1 and losing to St. Michael’s, 1-3.

Goddard coach Joe Harton said that he was glad his team finished the tournament on a positive note.

“They did good,” he said.

“I was glad they played.

They finished up strong and I am glad they finished

on a positive note.”

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Andrew; her brothers, Max Brady, William Brady, Er milo Brady, Leroy Brady and Elmo Brady; sisters, Bartola Jean Brady Smith and Prestinia Brady. She is survived by her brother Billy Joe Brady, and three daughters, Della Neria (Fidel), Joyce Strupp (John), Roberta Rousseau, and son Andy Fresquez.

Orlidia had six loving grandchildren, Stacy Sheehan (Neil), Jill Rucka (Ben), Kristen Neria (Roxanne), Eric Neria, Jeff Neria and Paul Rousseau, and was blessed with 12 greatgrandchildren.

Born in the Hondo Valley to William and Rosarita Brady and into a family of nine children, Orlidia led a varied life on the far m, sometimes idyllic, sometimes tough as nails. As the eldest daughter, Orlidia had to help with the other children, doing a lot of the household chores, cooking and cleaning, which prepared her for a life of caring lovingly for her own family of four. She often carried buckets of food down the hill to the orchard to feed her parents and siblings at lunch break. She also helped with taking care of the livestock and tending the garden. She grew up in the footsteps of her brothers Max, Ermilo and Elmo, who influenced her education as they all finished high school. She finished high school at age 19, because she stayed at home a year to care for her mom and newborn brother Billy Joe. She graduated from Hondo High School at the old building on Highway 70. She wanted to become a secretary, but instead she got married to Andrew Fresquez, who used to buy corn from her father just to get a chance to visit Orlidia. They married March 19, 1942, in Carrizozo. They came to live in Picacho, with Andrew’s family. There they raised their four children.

She taught and prepared them for school. She took them for long walks up in the hills and down on the farm. The family moved to

Roswell in the 1960s, where Orlidia taught kindergarten at Saint Peter School. Her life took a turn in 1985 with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Her love of nature and flowers remained throughout her struggle with the disease.

Above all, Orlidia was a devout Catholic, who cherished her family, loved her flowers and watering her gardens. The two things that lasted until her last day were her prayers and her devotion to her son Andy. She will be missed as she was loved by her family every single day. The family would like to express its gratitude to Carolina Jimenez who was a dedicated caregiver during the last six years of her decline.

If you’re considering a donation, please make one to the Alzheimer’s Foundation in Orlidia’s name. As she loved and appreciated the beauty of flowers, please buy a flower for a friend, sign your organ donor card, or do something for someone in need.

Please celebrate Orlidia’s life: Rosary and viewing on Monday, March 14, 2011, at 7p.m., Assumption Catholic Church, 2808 N. Kentucky Ave., 575-6229898.

Mass at Assumption and burial to follow on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, at 12:10 p.m., in South Park Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Eric Neria, Paul Rousseau, Paul Brady, Neil Sheehan, Ben Rucka and Jason Montoya.

NYC streets photo project creates a visual census NEW YORK (AP) — There’s something about the guy leaning on a post and checking his phone that catches Brandon Stanton’s eye. So he stops, asks if he can take a photo, clicks and continues on his way.

Stanton’s been doing this for the past half an hour, walking the streets of the city, looking at the people he passes, stopping some and asking for a photo.

And, surprisingly, in a city known more for its hurried pace and less for its patience, most people he asks say yes.

“New York, there’s a lot here, so why not be part of it,” said Angel Ramos, the 49-year -old man whose photo Stanton took, when asked why he had agreed.

“If you’re going to freak out with things like that, you’re going to have a problem.”

It’s all for a project that Stanton has been working on for the past several months, called Humans of New York. He’s spent hours walking the streets of the city, capturing images of the people he sees. He’s amassed about 1,700 images and plans to take that number up to 10,000.

The photos go on his website, linked to the neighborhoods where they were taken. The goal is to create a map of the neighborhoods using the images of the people he’s met as a kind of visual census of who makes up New York, the nation’s largest city,

AP Photo

In this March 9 photo, photographer Brandon Stanton, wanders the streets of New York City to make photos of people he finds interesting for his project entitled "Humans of New York." The photos go on his website, at humansofnewyork.com, and are linked to the neighborhoods in which they were taken.

with more than 8 million residents.

Stanton said the photos can bring people together in the city, which, despite the crowds, can be an isolating kind of place.

“I just kind of hope that they provide a way for people to connect to the people that are passing them on the streets every day,” Stanton said. “In a city

where people are streaming by you at all time, it’s really one of the places where people live the most anonymous lives.”

Stanton, 27, is a recent arrival to the Big Apple himself. A history major, he spent the past few years in Chicago working as a bond trader. But he took photos in his own time and, after losing his job, began to

spend more time with it, focusing on the images of people on the street he found so compelling.

Arriving in New York last fall, he found the perfect place to take more photos even before the project became a formal idea. As part of his efforts, he estimates he’s probably walked about a thousand miles and covered a lot of Man-

The documentary showed Bradley using all of the procedural maneuvering he could to stifle public input, cut off debate and keep the committee’s deliberations out of the public eye.

He now faces firm opposition in the Texas Senate for confirmation.

Critics of Republican Gov. Rick Perry have suggested the governor used his political power to bring the investigation into the case to a standstill.

After rejecting the mounting evidence that Willing-

ham was innocent in 2004, Perry dismantled the Texas Forensic Commission just days before it was set to take up the investigation.

When it was reassembled, John Bradley was the new chairman.

The directors sprinkled clips from Perry’s public comments about the case throughout the documentary. The governor has never wavered on his decision, repeatedly calling Willingham a monster and standing by the Texas criminal justice system.

hattan and some of Brooklyn and Queens.

At first, getting people to agree to have their photos taken was a struggle, he said.

“When I first started nearly everybody turned me down,” Stanton said.

He struggled to figure out what he could say to put people at ease but realized it wasn’t so much

about what he said as his overall energy in approaching them. Now, he said, he’s calmer in his approach, usually simply looking people in the eye and asking if they mind him taking a photo.

“I’ve gone from pretty much getting turned down by eight out of 10 people to very rarely getting turned down,” he said.

Over time, the nature of the project also has changed, Stanton said. He started out trying to shoot as many images as he could, trying to get to 10,000 images quickly.

Then, as he started posting his images to his website, he began adding written bits about the interactions he’d had with the people in the pictures. People seemed to like reading his snippets, so he began expanding them.

Now, he spends more time with some of the people he photographs, getting into conversations that he then spends several hours writing up and posting to his site.

“People seem to really be responding to deeper stories of these people and the interactions I’m having,” he said.

It will take some time before Stanton reaches the 10,000-photo mark, but he doesn’t see that as the finish line.

“That’s one thing that’s really evolved,” he said. “I don’t see an end to it.”

Documentary based on Texas arson case premieres at SXSW

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — On the heels of fresh controversy surrounding the Texas Forensic Commission, directors Steve Mims and Joe Bailey, Jr. premiered their documentary Saturday at South by Southwest investigating the scientific and political storm behind Texas’ execution of a possibly innocent man.

INCENDIARY: The Willingham Case tells the haunting story of Cameron Todd Willingham, a man executed for setting the fire to his house that killed his three daughters in 1991.

It also documents the controversial Texas Forensic Science Commission, where Willingham’s name has become an inflammatory theme.

A key struggle between science and folklore is prevalent in this film that combines the mystique of scientific investigation, political drama and potential murder.

Through interviews with fire experts, legal experts and court footage, the directors explore the possibility that the science behind Willingham’s conviction was shoddy and unreliable, yet ultimately led to a man’s death.

The directors contend the fire investigators on Willingham’s case considered their profession to be more of an art than a science, and

based their conclusions on what current fire experts call folklore. Whether Willingham was guilty or innocent wasn’t the point of the documentary, the filmmakers said, but rather it was to present the different sides of the case and allow the audience to indulge in the mystery.

“I do have a serious problem with the manner in which he was convicted,” Bailey said. “But we were more interested in the mystery this case created and the real facts. What we do know is what we tried to put on film.”

Two of the foremost fire experts in the country reviewed the evidence and found that initial fire investigators had ignored signs that the fire could have been accidental and crafted a faulty theory to make their arson case.

Despite attempts by Dr. Gerald Hurst, an acclaimed scientist and fire expert, to discredit the evidence of arson, Willingham was executed in 2004.

The film premieres amid new controversy surrounding the Texas Forensic Science Commission, which is charged with investigating the case. Chairman John Bradley delayed consideration of the case for months, sparking accusations of political motivation and a government cover-up.

Bailey said they attempted to contact the governor’s office for an interview, but never got a response.

The Willingham case has prompted fear about more wrongful convictions in arson cases. Activists have long hoped this case could be used to highlight faulty arson evidence and as a call to reform methods of forensic science.

Judge Charles Baird, the judge who conducted a court of inquiry into Willingham’s case, attended the premiere Saturday. He said

the directors did a good job of explaining the evolution of the scientific method of arson investigation and providing a comprehensive story for viewers.

“I hope the public will learn from this that a verdict is just a snapshot of the culmination of evidence in a case,” Baird said. “I hope that in the future if the science relied on in a case is faulty, the courts are open to correct that and we wouldn’t have any question of whether an innocent person was put to death.”

Community Kitchen

Faby Skaggs serves lunch at The Community Kitchen.

The Community Kitchen has been serving good, hot meals for 28 years

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS BY MARK WILSON

With a mere 30 minutes to go, the group of five volunteers on a recent bright Wednesday mor ning were immersed in preparations.

It is almost lunchtime at the Community Kitchen, 113 E. Deming St., and the volunteers — today, from the First United Methodist Church — must be ready for the crowd when the door opens at 11:30 a.m.

This is a ritual that has been repeated thousands of times over the kitchen’s 28-year history.

One woman stirred scoops of margarine into a serving tray of mixed vegetables. Another was washing pots and pans. A man was busy cutting a cake for dessert while another woman poured cups of lemonade and water.

At the end of the serving line, longtime volunteer Bill Cooper rolled plastic spoons in disposable napkins. He said Wednesday’s menu — chili beans, squash and mixed vegetables, salad, fresh fruit and cake or doughnuts for dessert — is typical of the simple but good fare the kitchen serves.

“The food is pretty good, really,” Cooper said, adding he’s been volunteering with his church’s group since 2003 — First United Methodist Church prepares and serves at the Community Kitchen on the first, second, and fifth Wednesdays of every month. “... We start around 10 a.m. and generally get through at 12:30 or 1 o’clock, something like that.”

For the past 28 years, the Community Kitchen’s mission has been to provide meals without charge to those in need, said Raye Duran, secretary of the non-profit organization’s executive committee and the kitchen manager.

The organization started in 1983, when Father Joe Nelson of St. Peter’s Catholic Church went to the Ministerial Association of Roswell to suggest opening a community kitchen as a way to benefit the less fortunate, no questions asked.

On March 17, 1983, the doors of the Community Kitchen opened, with members of seven churches banding together to feed the hungry.

Twenty-eight years later, the Community Kitchen is still going strong.

Through February 2011, the kitchen’s 5,555 volunteers have served 940,739 meals. Volunteers have logged 158,216 hours preparing and serving meals.

Duran, who attends St. Peter’s Catholic Church, has been volunteering at the kitchen “since day one,” said the kitchen operates 365 days a year, serving hot, well-balanced meals Monday through Friday and sack lunches on Saturdays and Sundays.

“There’s no other place in town that I know of which serves a free, hot meal (every day) a year,” Duran said. “People don’t go hungry. At least, they’re going to get one hot meal a day.”

Today, the kitchen is staffed by volunteers from 17 area churches — Assumption Catholic Church, Christ’s Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Wards 1 and 2, First Christian Church, First United Methodist, First Presbyterian Church, Grace Community Church, Immanuel Lutheran Church, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, St. Thomas a’Becket Episcopal Church, T rinity United Methodist Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church.

Duran said she, as the kitchen’s manager, is at the kitchen daily.

“To me, it’s a personal gratification,” she said of what her volunteer work means to her. “If I’m not here in the morning, I’m here in the afternoon, recycling cans or cleaning refrigerators.

We’re very well-organized here. Some (volunteers) have been here for many years. They know exactly what to do.”

The food the volunteers serve comes from canned food drives held by churches and schools and donations by individuals, grocery stores and organizations such as Harvest Ministries and Roadrunner Food Bank.

Cash donations are also accepted.

Duran said the kitchen also accepts extra food from private donors — usually, food left over from a party.

“We try to utilize everything that comes in,” Duran said. “We have no regular income.”

Parents must carefully foster self-esteem in kids

QUESTION: I often hear about the importance of boosting a child’s self-esteem. But how can I accomplish that with my son without making him self-absorbed or selfcentered?

JIM: Instilling a sense of self-esteem in children is a critical task for parents. And you’re right — there’s a big difference between healthy self-esteem and destructive selfishness. Like you, many moms and dads find themselves asking how to find the right balance.

Dr. Kevin Leman, a frequent Focus on the Family broadcast guest, suggests that parents can cultivate healthy self-esteem in their kids by learning “the A-B-Cs.” The letter A stands for acceptance. We might not always approve of our children’s choices or behavior, but we always need to let them know that we love and accept them unconditionally. In other words, you can tell your son that playing video games for six hours a day is unacceptable. But don’t give him the impression that he is therefore unacceptable.

The letter B stands for belonging. We can give our kids a sense of belonging by creating a sense of community within the family. It’s important that we give our sons and daughters a voice in family decisions when appropriate, that we listen to what they have to say, and that we support them in their activities.

Finally, the letter C stands for competence. We can give our children the gift of competence by allowing them to experience life firsthand. This means we need to avoid

Acceptance, belonging and confidence ... if we can instill these A-B-Cs in our kids’ hearts and minds, we’ll be setting them on the road to healthy self-esteem. ** ** ** Q: Every now and then, my 5-year-old daughter cries, usually when she doesn’t get her way, and says things like, “Nobody loves me!” My family has a history of depression, and I wonder if my daughter’s behavior is normal or if it is a sign that she is depressed.

JULI: You are wise to be sensitive to signs of depression in your daughter. However, the behavior you are describing sounds like a normal 5-year-old reaction. Children are not as sophisticated in muting their feelings as we are as adults. That’s why they are so much fun to be with! With-

Ask a designer: Doors, a forgotten design element MELISSA RAYWORTH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It’s a design opportunity that’s easily missed: Even the most stylishly decorated rooms often have bland wooden doors with cheap hardware.

High-end designers have always made doors a priority, says Brian Patrick Flynn, an interior designer and founder of decordemon.com. “If you look at any Fifth Avenue apartment” in New York City, he says, “you’ll probably fall in love with their doors because they blend architecture with decorating and make it really special.”

But many of us ignore the doors in our homes, not realizing what a difference they can make to the look of a room.

Whether your style is traditional or modern, subtle or bold, improving your doors can give your rooms an easy facelift.

Interior designer Emily Henderson, host of HGTV’s “Secrets from a Stylist,” uses doors as a canvas for anything from wallpaper or stenciling to textured paint or artfully applied gold leaf.

Decorated doors can “bring a bit of surprise glamour,” she says, and highlight architectural elements.

But know what sort of change you’re looking for.

“Sometimes you want your door to be disguised” and blend quietly into the space, Henderson says.

Other times, you’re seeking a burst of color or texture to draw attention.

INFUSING STYLE Painting with bold or contrasting colors can quickly make a door the star of a space, Flynn says.

T ry painting an entire door white and letting it dry for at least one day. Then put painters’ tape over the areas you’d like to keep as

white accents, and paint the entire door another color (glossy black is great, he says). After removing the tape, touch up any imperfect spots with a tiny brush.

Another option that Flynn loves: Have doors upholstered with leather or geometric print fabric to add softness and style.

Leather is easy to wipe clean, he says, and “if it ages over time, that only adds to the look.”

Bring the door to an upholsterer or do it yourself by wrapping the door in cotton batting and attaching fabric with a staple gun along the sides.

Tap the staples with a hammer to recess them,

then paint over them in a color that matches the fabric. You can also glue ribbon over the staples to hide them.

BRINGING THE LOOK OF YOUR HOME TOGETHER “Look at your doors,” says Los Angeles-based designer Betsy Burnham.

“Do they all match?” If you want a cohesive style throughout the home, try painting every door the same color and accessorizing each with the same stylish hardware.

Burnham usually chooses white or off-white paint for doors and door frames, “but in one house I did all the doors sort of a khaki,” she says, “which was more

moder n.” If you want a bolder statement, she suggests painting all the doors a dark shade of charcoal and using oil-rubbed bronze doorknobs.

Henderson and Flynn agree that consistency is important for doors that all face the same hallway. On the sides facing into rooms, you can indulge your imagination. But for the sides facing a hallway, “it could look unintentionally messy” rather than creative if the hardware and paint colors don’t match.

EXPRESSING YOURSELF Doors are a great way to personalize a space, Burnham says. A classic sixpanel door has a very different feeling than a heavy wooden plank door with lots of dramatic hardware.

Front doors can be a great place to express your style. A custom-designed door with expensive hardware can have a huge impact and be worth the investment, Burnham says.

One option is to “keep the house sort of neutral and do a pop of color at the front door,” she says.

“We’ve seen red doors used really well. You could even do a bright teal.”

Inside your home, you can use doorknobs and other hardware “like jewelry,” Bur nham says. T ry crystal or chinoiserie knobs, oiled bronze metal hardware or shiny chrome, depending on your style.

Lately, Flynn has merged fun and function by putting elaborate door knockers on bedroom doors.

If you want to highlight your home’s history or just bring a vintage look to the rooms, consider using doors reclaimed from older buildings. Flea markets and antique shops may have great doors for low prices.

in a 10-minute span, they can experience elation and devastation, feel love and hatred and think you are both the best mom and the worst mom in the world.

Even so, a 5-year-old can be depressed, and it’s good to know what to look for. If your daughter were depressed, her feelings would be less situational. In other words, she would be down, expressing sad feelings even when good things are happening around her. You might also notice changes in appetite and sleep patterns. Depressed children sometimes withdraw, get panicky, and lose interest in things they used to enjoy. If you consistently notice these symptoms in your daughter, seek help from a professional counselor or her pediatrician.

You also want to be careful not to overreact when your daughter displays negative emotions throughout the normal course of daily life. If you go overboard with consolation and comfort when she makes statements like, “Nobody loves me!” you may reinforce that behavior. She needs a steady supply of love and affection from you, not just when she is showing negative emotion. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

A light and fruity dessert for spring ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The pastry that cream puffs, profiteroles and eclairs are made from is called pate a choux. It is made by cooking a dough first on the stove, then beating whole eggs into it. This mixture — which lies somewhere between a dough and a batter — then is piped or spooned onto a baking sheet and finished in the oven.

It’s during this final baking stage that the eggs release steam that causes the dough to puff up, producing hollow shells.

And it all sounds more complicated than it really is. These treats come together without too much trouble. Best yet, while these desserts may look substantial, they have just 116 calories (when filled with whipped cream).

You also can fill these pastries with pastry cream (or pudding), ice cream or sorbet, or even a savory filling (if the latter, omit the sugar from the dough).

We chose to flavor ours with lemon zest, but you could use any extract or zest, or leave them plain.

You also could use other berries in place of the strawberries. The puffs should be made the day they are served. In a pinch, they can be frozen.

Lemon and strawberry cream puffs Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 12 For the puffs: 3/4 cup water 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter 2 tablespoons sugar Pinch of salt 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs Zest of 1 lemon For the filling and topping: 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulls removed, cut up 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Whipped cream or lemon sorbet, to fill Heat the oven to 425 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high, heat the water, butter, sugar and salt until boiling. Add the flour and stir vigorously while continuing to cook until the mixture forms a ball, pulls away from the sides of the pan and all dry flour has been absorbed.

Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium with the paddle attachment for 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl and making sure that each is incorporated into the mixture before adding the next.

Using a large spoon, form the dough into golf ballsized mounds and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, allowing 3 inches between each. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 F and continue to bake until golden, crispy and light, about another 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

While the puffs bake and cool, in a medium bowl combine the strawberries, sugar and vanilla. Lightly crush the strawberries with a fork. Set aside.

After the puffs have cooled, cut them in half crosswise. Fill each with berries and whipped cream or sorbet.

East Coast keeping close eye on swollen waterways Roswell Daily Record

WOODLAND PARK, N.J. (AP) — Anxious officials from Maryland to Maine were closely monitoring swollen rivers and other waterways that were expected to overflow their banks early Saturday, causing more hardships for communities where major flooding forced hundreds of people from their homes.

Forecasters warned that the worst was yet to come for many areas, especially parts of flood-prone northern New Jersey that were already under water after a storm that dropped as much as 5 inches of rain in some areas from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. That came just days after most of the same areas — which are emerging from a snow-filled winter — were flooded by another round of heavy rains.

And while the water was not expected to recede in some spots for a few days, there was one positive sign: The National Weather Service said no major rains were expected there for several days, giving those areas a chance to dry out once the waterways drop back below flood levels.

But that provided little relief for residents who had to be evacuated from their homes and spent the night in shelters, or those who spent most of Friday getting water out their basements and trying to salvage items damaged by the rising waters.

In Woodland Park, N.J., Mel Sivri was watching the Passaic River. He hung his daughters’ pink bicycles and other items from ceiling hooks in the garage while an industrial pump cleared 4 inches of water from the floor.

“You cannot pump the river,” he said. “You just have to wait for it to go down.”

Residents in several mid-Atlantic states were forced to flee their homes due to the rising waters, and more could be forced out on Saturday.

In Greenburgh, N.Y., north of New York City, Jessica Dontona was home with her 7-year-old daughter, Samantha, to check on the house. They had decamped in the middle of the night for a hotel as the basement filled with water.

The flood made her think about moving.

“You know, living high on a hill is starting to look really good,” she said.

New York state from Manhattan to the Canadian border was under a flood watch as heavy rains and melting snow closed roads. And there were major concerns in New England that rising waters could break up river ice, creating

The Coast Guard said its units in Maine would begin icebreaking Saturday on the Kennebec River and continue through Tuesday to reduce the risk of property damage.

Forecasters also warned that the Susquehanna River in northeastern Pennsylvania could rise as much as 8 feet over flood stage by Saturday near Wilkes-Barre. The city has a levee system to protect it, but low-lying areas downriver already had some minor flooding on Friday.

Meanwhile, police in Pittsburgh had set up detours for revelers coming into the city for Saturday morning’s St.

Calif., Ore. sustained most US tsunami damage

Boats collide with one another after a Tsunami surge of water swept through a boat basin in Crescent City, Calif., on Friday.

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. (AP) — The tsunami warnings moved faster than the waves, giving millions of people across the Pacific hours to flee to higher ground. Now they are left to clean up what the waves had wrought: Destroyed docks and damaged boats.

A deadly tsunami generated by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan raced across the Pacific on Friday and into marinas and harbors in Hawaii and on the West Coast, sending boats crashing into one another, carrying some out to sea and demolishing docks.

The damage — the most severe in two seaside towns along the OregonCalifornia border — was estimated to be in the millions.

“This is just devastating. I never thought I’d see this again,” said Ted Scott, a retired mill worker who lived in Crescent City, Calif., when a 1964 tsunami killed 11 people, 17 total along the West Coast.

Still, there was relief that the destruction in the U.S. was nothing like that in Japan. The offshore quake pushed water onto land, sometimes miles inland, sweeping away boats, cars, homes and people.

Hundreds are dead.

“With everything that could have happened and did happen in Japan, we’re just thankful that nothing else happened,” said Sabrina Skiles, whose beachfront house in Maui was left unscathed.

The warnings — the second major one for the region in a year — and the response showed how far the earthquake-prone Pacific Rim had come since a deadly tsunami caught much of Asia by surprise in 2004.

“That was a different era,” said Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

“We got the warning out very quickly. It would not have been possible to do it that fast in 2004.”

Within 10 minutes after Japan was shaken by its biggest earthquake in recorded history, the center had issued its warning. As a tsunami raced east at 500 mph — as fast as a jetliner — the first sirens began sounding across Hawaii late Thursday.

Police went through the tourist mecca of Waikiki, warning of an approaching tsunami. Hotels moved tourists from lower floors to upper levels. Some tourists ended up spending the night in their cars.

Across the islands, people stocked up on bottled water, canned foods and toilet paper. Authorities opened buildings to people fleeing low-lying areas. Fishermen took their boats out to sea, away from harbors and marinas where the waves would be most intense.

Residents did the same last February, when an 8.8-magnitude quake in Chile prompted tsunami warnings. The waves did little damage then.

Early Friday, the tsunami waves reached Hawaii, tossing boats in Honolulu. The water covered beachfront roads and rushed into hotels on the Big Island. The waves carried a house out to sea. Seven-foot waves flooded low-lying areas in Maui.

Many other Pacific islands also evacuated their shorelines for a time. In Guam, the waves broke two U.S. Navy submarines from their moorings, but tug boats brought

them back to their pier.

In Oregon, the first swells to hit the U.S. mainland were barely noticeable.

Sirens pierced the air in Seaside, a popular tourist town near the Washington state line. Restaurants, gift shops and other beachfront businesses stayed shuttered. Some residents moved to the hills nearby, gathering behind a house.

Residents along coastlines from Washing to California fled to higher ground at the approach of the waves, waiting until the all-clear to return.

Albert Wood said he and his wife decided to leave their home late Thursday night after watching news about the Japan quake — the fifthlargest earthquake since 1900.

Wood was expecting the waves to get bigger and more intense than what he saw. Still, he shook his head as the cars lining the hills began to drive west, into the lowlands adjacent to the shore.

“Just if you ask me, they’re being too bold,” Wood said. “It’s still early.

They’re just not being cautious.”

Outside Brookings, Ore., just north of the California border, four people went to a beach to watch the waves and were swept into the sea.

Two got out on their own, and the others were rescued, authorities said.

Brookings harbor saw the worst reported damage in the state with half the facility destroyed and 10 boats sunk, Curry County Sheriff John Bishop said.

“The port is in total disarray,” he said.

Patrick’s Day parade. The detours are to help motorists avoid low-lying sections of Interstate 376 along the Monongahela, which was expected to flood by Saturday morning.

The flooding was also blamed for at least two deaths.

A 74-year-old Pennsylvania man’s car was swept into Swatara Creek on Thursday in Pine Grove, about 75 miles northwest of Philadelphia. And a woman drowned in Ohio on Friday after getting out of her car in a ditch in Williams County.

Ex-Blackwater contractors guilty in Afghan’s death

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Two former Blackwater contractors were found guilty on Friday of involuntary manslaughter in the May 2009 shooting death of an unarmed Afghan civilian in Kabul, but were acquitted of all other charges related to the shootings of two others.

A federal jury found Justin H. Cannon of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Christopher Drotleff of Virginia Beach not guilty of murder and weapons charges that could have resulted in life sentences. They also were acquitted in the death of a second unarmed civilian who was killed and of assaulting a third person injured during the shooting at a dark intersection near the scene of an accident.

Drotleff cried as a series of not guilty verdicts were read while Cannon stood silently.

Their first trial in September ended in a hung jury and jurors in this case could be heard arguing behind closed doors since they received their instructions Wednesday morning.

The men now face a maximum sentence of eight years in prison and will be sentenced June 14. Both men were released until sentencing, although Drotleff was required to post a $10,000 bond over prosecutors’ objections. U.S. District Judge Robert Doumar had previously found that Drotleff would be a danger to society if released while awaiting trial.

“We’re happy our client is being released at this point.

We felt he should’ve been acquitted on all charges,” said Lawrence H. Woodward Jr., one of Drotleff’s attorneys.

The trial focused on whether Drotleff, 29, and Cannon, 27, feared for their lives the night of the shooting, when the vehicle in front of them that was escorting their translators home got into a bad accident.

Defense attorneys said they opened up fire on a Toyota Corolla driven by Fareed Haji Ahmad because they believed it had caused the original accident and it had started approaching them at a high speed afterward. Cannon and Drotleff fired about 30 rounds — Cannon with an AK-47 rifle and Drotleff with a 9mm pistol — toward the vehicle. Their attorneys said they acted in self defense and that any reasonable person would have done the same thing on a dangerous road in a war-torn nation.

Prosecutors said it was a truck that caused the lead vehicle to get into an accident, that the Corolla wasn’t a threat and Ahmad only approached to help the accident victims. They said Drotleff and Cannon acted irrationally out of anger and frustration on a day their boss had been fired and that they had been drinking.

They noted that all the bullet holes in the vehicle were in the rear of the vehicle, which was shown to jurors during the trial and during deliberations.

The man walking his dog, Rahib Mirza Mohammad, was unintentionally hit. The jury didn’t find Drotleff or Cannon guilty any charges related to his death. The involuntary manslaughter verdict was issued in the death of Romal Mohammad Naiem, the passenger in the Corolla.

S. Sudanese rebels attempt attack on state capital

JUBA, Sudan (AP) — Army and U.N. officials say a militia opposed to the Southern Sudanese government launched an overnight raid on a strategic town but were repulsed by Southern Sudanese forces. U.N. spokeswoman Hua Jiang said fighting between Sudan People’s Liberation Army forces and a militia led by a man known as Capt. Olonyi started outside the capital of the oil-rich border state of Upper Nile in the early hours of Saturday morning. But she says the southern army repulsed the attack on the city of Malakal. Casualty figures were not available but army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer says heavy artillery rounds were heard. He confirmed Malakal remained under government control. Olonyi is a littleknown militia leader from a discontented minority ethnic group.

SC GOP primary filled with uncertainty C4 Sunday, March 13, 2011

SPAR TANBURG, S.C. (AP) — By this point every four years, South Carolina expects to see a flood of White House hopefuls crossing the state, from its low country swamps to its upstate farms to its coastal communities.

This time, there’s been a mere trickle.

Republicans weighing presidential bids have all but ignored the state that in moder n history has played an outsized role in GOP nomination fights: Since 1980, the South Carolina primary winner has emerged with the conservative seal of approval and eventually clinched the party’s presidential nomination.

Blame uncertainty.

The tea party has upended the political landscape in this longtime Christian conservative stronghold.

There’s buzz about Sen. Jim DeMint, a tea party hero, launching a presidential bid of his own. As unlikely as that is, it would give him favored-son status. The overall sluggish nature of the 2012 nomination race also is reflected here; would-be candidates haven’t officially entered a race that will be both costly and exhausting.

“It’s just slower than I’ve ever seen it,” said Alexia Newman, a Republican who recently met with former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, one of the few regular visitors so far, at the crisis pregnancy center she runs in this northern

city.

South Carolina’s primary is less than a year away.

Beyond that, there are many unknowns — including the exact date and just who will compete.

Republicans may move the state’s primary to earlier in 2012 than expected if Florida ignores Republican National Committee rules that say only Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada can hold contests in February.

The tea party’s influence also is causing upheaval just months after its darling, Nikki Haley, won the governor’s race.

Activists from the libertarian-conservative coalition are in court fighting state GOP efforts to limit primary voting to Republicans, which would shut out

independents now allowed to vote in the open primary.

Exit polls from November’s midterms showed that 65 percent of tea party backers considered themselves Republicans, while 26 percent called themselves independents.

Tea party activists also may be poised to take over county- and state-level GOP offices, making things even more complicated as would-be candidates determine who to woo.

“There isn’t just one or two or three people they’re going to have to kiss the ring,” said Luke Byars, a former state GOP executive director. “They’re going to have to appeal to a larger group of grass-roots conservatives.”

The tea party’s growing footprint is similar to the

fight South Carolina’s GOP saw 22 years ago as a wellorganized Christian Coalition tried to gain party control.

This time, some hopefuls are making aggressive appeals to tea partyers.

“I want to hear what they’ve got to say about 2012,” said Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who met with them on her first swing through the state last month.

Also unclear: just who in the potential field intends to play hard in South Carolina.

Santorum has visited it more than any other, 11 times since 2009. He’s not well-known nationally but has strong conservative credentials that could play well here.

Former House Speaker

Newt Gingrich has been here eight times. He has a national grass-roots following and is beloved by some religious conservatives, but his three marriages and admitted infidelity could be a turnoff.

Ex-Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts has visited South Carolina four times in the past year and a half.

He made a big play for the state in 2008 only to abandon it as the primary neared, unable to convince GOP voters here to look past his Mormon religion and his reversals on some social issues.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour’s Southern drawl may have made Republicans here feel like kin during his three visits. And, here in Dixie, voters may look past his bungled civil rights comments. But will they bristle at his record of Washington lobbying?

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is a hero to Christian conservatives here, and always gets a war m welcome. But he doesn’t seem eager to run.

And what of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels? Or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin?

Or ex-Gov. Jon Huntsman of Utah?

Without a set field, South Carolina Republicans aren’t in a rush to support or raise funds for anyone.

Consider that by March 2007, half of the state’s House GOP caucus already had endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain, the eventual nominee, and DeMint was

backing Romney. McCain had 20 people on his South Carolina payroll. Romney had a dozen and Huckabee had five.

Not this year.

Also unclear: Who will Haley endorse? She backed Romney last time when she was in the state legislature and her nod as governor would be a big prize.

Tea party favorite DeMint also looms large over the field — even though he says he has no plans to run. Matt Hoskins, who runs DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund, said flatly: “He’s not running.”

Still, speculation is rampant.

“If Jim’s here, you’re not going to win — nor should you win,“ Santorum said.

The DeMint talk may be why the state’s biggest donors and influential endorsers seem wary of committing to candidates.

“It’s difficult for the presidential candidates to come into the state and lock down folks who take an attitude that ‘We’re going to wait for DeMint to get in the race,”’ said Chip Felkel, a Greenville consultant helping Barbour.

Perhaps the only thing that’s certain is that the quiet days will end eventually As Larry Bateman, a tea party activist, put it, “Candidates are going to be coming here and they’ll be stumbling all over the patriots and the tea party.”

Obama to bullying victims: I know what it’s like

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama smiled when he said his large ears and funny name once made him a target of school-yard harassment. But he was all seriousness Thursday when he told a White House conference on bullying that torment and intimidation must not be tolerated.

Some 13 million students, about a third of all those attending school, are bullied every year, the White House said. Experts say that puts them at greater risk of falling behind in their studies, abusing drugs or alcohol, or suffering mental or other health problems. Kids who are seen as different because of their race, clothes, disability or sexual orientation are more likely to be bullied.

“If there’s one goal of this conference,” Obama said, “it’s to dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It’s not.” He spoke to more than 100 parents, students, teachers and others gathered to discuss the problem and share ideas for solutions.

“Bullying can have destructive consequences for our young people. And it’s not something we have to accept,” he said.

The issue has been getting more attention partly because texting, Facebook, Twitter and other technologies are being used to carry it out — it’s called cyberbullying — and because of media coverage of teens who have killed themselves after such taunting.

Families of some of those

youngsters joined Obama at the White House, including T ina Meier, of suburban St. Louis.

Meier’s 13-year -old daughter, Megan, hanged herself in 2006 after falling victim to an Internet hoax carried out, in part, by an adult neighbor who posed as a boy. The neighbor, a woman, was later convicted of a federal misdemeanor in a landmark cyberbullying trial.

“No family should have to go through what these families have gone through,” Obama said. “No child should feel that alone.”

Meier had a message for parents who want to take away their children’s computers and other electronic devices to spare them from bullying: It won’t work. She urged them instead to get a better understanding of what their kids

are doing.

“Technology is out there. We cannot shut it off. Children are not going to allow it to be shut off,” Meier told participants. “We have to make sure that we have parents who understand what’s going on in their child’s online world, as well as the real world.”

Speaking as a parent and as a victim, Obama urged everyone to help end bullying by working to create an atmosphere at school where children feel safe and feel like they belong. He said that even he felt out of place growing up.

“I have to say, with big ears and the name that I have, I was not immune,” said Obama, who moved around a lot as a boy, being born in Hawaii and growing up there and in Indonesia. “I did not emerge unscathed,” he said.

Minister: China’s pollution remains very serious

AP Photo

Cars form a jam during a particularly polluted day in Beijing, Saturday.

BEIJING (AP) — Pollution in China remains very serious as the country’s rapid economic growth brings new environmental problems, with nearly 1,000 contamination emergencies in the last five years, a minister said Saturday.

Vice Environment Minister Zhang Lijun said China has made progress on environmental protection, but acknowledged that its double-digit economic growth over the past decade has had a negative impact on the environment.

“Our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on. These environmental pollutants bring new problems and impact human health,” Zhang told a news conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People’s Congress, China’s legislature.

He said emissions of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government targets.

China has pledged to continue reducing emissions this year of three key air pollutants — ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. The government has also promised to bring down demand for chemical oxygen — a measure of water pollution — by 1.5 percent from 2010 levels.

In the last five years, there were 912 “environmental emergencies,” Zhang said. Some high-profile emergencies involved mass heavy metal contamination, with thousands of children affected by lead poisoning in several provinces in 2009 and 2010 because they lived near metal smelters or battery factories.

Other incidents included a diesel fuel leak in the Yellow River, chemical contamination in the northeast Songhua River following a flood, and crude oil leakage off the northeastern coastal city of Dalian after a pipeline burst.

The minister noted that anticipated rapid urbanization in the next five years increases the need for China to improve environmental protection and shift to a more sustainable model of economic development from its reliance on energy-intensive industries.

Gates meets with leaders of Bahrain

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is meeting in Bahrain with the kingdom’s top rulers, who are facing growing demands for more political freedom.

In Saturday’s meetings, Gates is expected to urge a more open dialogue with political opposition groups, while offering reassurances of U.S. support for the rulers.

Gates is the first member of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet to visit

this tiny Persian Gulf nation since street protests began in mid-February.

Bahrain’s rulers are facing rising conflict between Sunni Muslims who support the ruling system and majority Shiites demanding the Sunnis give up their monopoly on power.

The country is of great strategic importance to the United States, whose naval 5th Fleet is based in Bahrain as a bulwark against Iran.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother of a U.S. Navy sailor who has been the recipient of random acts of kindness from complete strangers. I was most affected personally when a woman stopped us in a large parking garage in Chicago to say, “Thank you for your service, young man.” And there was a stranger who paid for my son’s meal in an airport when he had a layover on his way home for Christmas. Another time, we were in a line to see a movie and the attendant waved us to the front of the line — and everyone smiled about it.

Whenever my son goes anywhere in uniform, he’s stopped by people who just want to say thank you.

I’m amazed and thrilled. Part of the reason I am so touched is I was a teenager living in San Diego during the Vietnam era.

At that time, young people in the military were cursed and reviled. It was a shameful time in our history when people serving their country could not be proud of their service.

Today, I am proud of my son, and he is able to be proud of himself and his decision to enlist in the Navy.

So, thank you to all you folks who show your gratitude to our service members by the little things you do. You not only touch that person, but their extended family as well.

Dear Heloise: How do you remove a blue liquid-laundry-detergent stain from clothing? Now it looks like a tie-dye stain. Thanks. — Kathleen Schulte, via e-mail Hopefully, this item has not been through the dryer, which can make a stain more difficult to remove. But you can give this a try: Our research shows that if the stain was caused by the laundry detergent, it can be removed. You need to fill the washing machine with hot water (but check the care label first for safest temperature).

Add the correct amount of laundry detergent (put in and let agitate a few seconds before adding clothing). Wash, and after the spin cycle, pull the item out to check if the stain is gone. If not, then re-rinse (water only) the item. Rinsing is what is really needed to dissolve the detergent. So, you may need to rinse and re-rinse in order to completely remove it. For other pesky-stain removal hints, just send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (61 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Another laundry hint: Don’t stuff too many clothes into the washer. They will not have enough room to get properly cleaned, and the detergent may not get completely rinsed out of the clothing.

White House rebuffs GOP on health care records

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama once promised that negotiations over his health care overhaul would be carried out openly, in front of TV cameras and microphones.

Tell that to the White House now.

Republican congressional investigators got the brushoff this week after pressing for details of meetings between White House officials and interest groups, including drug companies and hospitals that provided critical backing for Obama’s health insurance expansion.

Complying with the records request from the House Energy and Commerce Committee “would constitute a vast and expensive undertaking” and could “implicate longstanding executive branch confidentiality interests,” White House lawyer Robert Bauer

said in a letter to the committee. Translation: Nice try.

It’s another roadblock for Republicans who tapped into widespread anxiety about the scope and costs of the new health care law to regain control of the House in last fall’s elections. So far, they’ve been unable to repeal the landmark legislation they dismiss as “Obamacare.” GOP efforts to deny administration agencies the funds to carry out the law are running into unintended consequences, not to mention the sheer difficulty of tracking the money. Now it looks like oversight isn’t going to be easy either.

“We are both concerned and disappointed by your response,” Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., wrote back to Bauer. “The American public deserves the infor-

mation we have requested.

The secret meetings conducted by (White House of ficials) are a per fect example of why transparency in government is so important.”

Upton urged the White House to carefully reconsider, but it’s uncertain he’ll ever get what he wants. Even if the standoff dramatically escalates to a congressional subpoena, history shows that presidents usually succeed in keeping records away from snooping eyes.

The George W. Bush administration beat back efforts to reveal the dealings between Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force and industry. The Bill Clinton administration successfully resisted demands for records of its failed push to remake the health care system, which was overseen by then-first lady

Hillary Clinton.

The request for records from Obama’s health care reform office is broad. The committee asked for a list of every meeting, briefing or telephone call regarding changes to the health care system, as well as notes or summaries of those encounters. It wants a list of every employee of the now-disbanded health refor m of fice, including their salaries. Committee investigators are also seeking any written communications, whether by letter or e-mail, with outside groups.

White House visitor records released at the request of The Associated Press in late 2009 show that Obama’s top aides met frequently with lobbyists and health care industry leaders during the marathon congressional debate over health care

overhaul.

The list included George Halvorson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Health Plans; Scott Serota, president and CEO of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association; Kenneth Kies, a Washington lobbyist representing Blue Cross/Blue Shield, among other clients; Billy Tauzin, then head of PhRMA, the drug industry lobby; Richard Umbdenstock, chief of the American Hospital Association; and numerous others.

Nearly every health industry group has complaints about aspects of the final legislation. But they’re also working to carry out its provisions, even as challenges to the law’s constitutionality advance in federal court. Some sectors got significant concessions from the administration.

The phar maceutical industry and hospitals

agreed early on to tens of billions in savings to help finance new coverage for the uninsured. When an amendment to allow importation of low-cost prescription drugs came up in the Senate, the administration worked successfully to defeat it, although Obama had supported the idea as a presidential candidate.

Hospitals won a reprieve of several years from cuts proposed by a new Medicare cost control board.

The White House sent the Energy and Commerce Committee some 100 pages of records that have already been made public, including visitor logs and press releases. That may be all they get for a long time.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Friday signed into law the proposal that eliminates most union rights for public employees, saying he had “no doubt” that support for the measure would grow over time.

The governor’s signature on the bill quietly concluded a debate over collective bargaining that provoked three weeks of loud, relentless protests at the Capitol.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Walker said once the public sees government becoming more efficient, support for the changes will increase.

“What we’re doing here, I think, is progressive. It’s innovative. It’s reform that leads the country, and we’re showing there’s a better way by sharing in that sacrifice with all of us in government,“ he said.

Walker, the 43-year-old son of a preacher who has swiftly become one of the most polarizing politicians in the country, signed the legislation in private Friday morning. At a ceremonial signing later in the day, he said the new law would be “good for the middle class for years to come.”

The governor insisted the proposal was necessary to balance the state budget, and he never backed down, even after 14 Senate Democrats fled the state in an attempt to block the bill.

The drama touched off an intense national debate over labor rights for public employees.

Parts of the fight were sure to continue in the courts and in the battle over the broader state budget.

On Friday, the Democratic executive of Dane County asked a court to find passage of the law to be unconstitutional, arguing in part that it was adopted without the required quorum. A judge denied an emergency request to block the measure and scheduled a longer hearing for Wednesday.

Walker said he was confident the law would with-

stand legal challenges.

The law does not take effect until the state issues an official notice that it has been enacted, and the notice is published in the Madison newspaper. Secretary of State Doug La Follette said he typically takes 10 business days to send the notice. Given the court action, he said he was not going to act any sooner than that.

Walker’s success was a key victory for Republicans who have targeted unions in efforts to slash government spending.

Labor leaders and Democrats vowed to use the setback to fire up their supporters across the country and mount a counterattack against the GOP at the ballot box in 2012.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller said the GOP was not listening to the people.

“Republicans may have achieved a short-term policy goal, but their radical agenda, the war on working families, has been exposed, and the people of Wisconsin and across the country are united against it as never before,” Miller said in a statement.

Democrats said the battle with Walker helped them raise nearly $1 million in a matter of days, and efforts to recall Republican state senators who sided with

Walker were gaining momentum.

Walker, who has sharply divided the state just 10 weeks into his ter m, remained defiant Friday, issuing a message of his own seeking donations from supporters.

“The voters of Wisconsin didn’t elect me to pass the buck or run away from a tough fight,” said the governor, who asked for donations starting at $100 and said he hoped to reach $150,000 within a month.

Walker told the AP he wasn’t bothered by becoming such a polarizing figure.

“People, I believe, in times of crisis want leadership,“ he said. ”They want leaders who identify the problem, identify a solution and then act on it. That’s what we did.”

The measure passed both chambers of the Republican-led state Legislature earlier this week. The Senate cleared the way with a surprise move Wednesday that allowed lawmakers to approve the bill without any Democratic senators present. The state’s Assembly followed suit Thursday.

In addition to ending collective bargaining, the law forces state workers to pay more for their pensions and health care benefits — changes that will save an estimated $30 million to help pay down a budget shortfall project to be $137 million by July 1.

Solters described himself Friday as “a warlock in training.”

Exhibit draws on Tennessee Williams’ world NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Legcaricaturist Al endary Hirschfeld had said his drawings reinvented the characters of Tennessee Williams’ famous plays, from “The Rose Tattoo” to “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

T o mark Williams’ 100th birthday this year, a new exhibit at The Historic New Orleans Collection sheds a little light on the lives of both men.

The free exhibit, “Drawn to Life: Al Hirschfeld and the Theater of Tennessee Williams,” runs through April 3 in the collection’s French Quarter gallery.

“There’s no one else who documented Tennessee Williams’ career like Al Hirschfeld,” said David Leopold, co-curator for the exhibit and Hirschfeld archivist. “When he talked about great art in terms of the theater, he talked about Tennessee Williams.”

The exhibit features 125 items, including 50 drawings by Hirschfeld and 75 items from the collection’s per manent Williams holdings. Among them are his mother’s diary, handwritten letters to and from the playwright’s family and friends, manuscripts and unpublished works.

The playwright was bor n Thomas Lanier Williams on March 26, 1911, in Columbus, Miss. He died in 1983 at age 71.

Hirschfeld was born June 21, 1903, and died a few months before he would have celebrated his 100th birthday.

Both lived in St. Louis when they were young, though Williams and Hirschfeld did not know each other, Leopold said.

However, the two men became linked.

“Rex Reed (the film critic) said Williams looked forward to what Hirschfeld would do, how he viewed the play,” Leopold said.

“They had a great respect for

A new exhibit in New Orleans, "Drawn to Life: Al Hirschfeld and the Theater of Tennessee Williams," will include 50 drawings of Williams' characters by legendary caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, for whom Williams had great respect. The exhibit, which runs through April 3, 2011 at the The Historic New Orleans Collection's French Quarter Gallery, also features 75 items from the collection's permanent Williams holdings. each other even if they weren’t great friends.”

Mark Cave, co-curator for the exhibit, said Williams drew from his own life experience to create the characters in his plays.

Hirschfeld was able to capture the universal appeal of Williams’ characters, he said.

Hirschfeld has said his contribution was to take the character and reinvent it for the reader, Leopold said. Those drawings included depictions of actors Elizabeth Ashley in “Cat

on a Hot Tin Roof” and Richard Burton and Ava Gardner in “The Night of the Iguana.”

Hirschfeld’s drawings are distinguished by a signature linear calligraphic style — allowing the reader to capture Kathleen Tur ner’s sultry portrayal of Maggie in “Cat on a Hot T in Roof,” or Marlon Brando’s toughness in “Streetcar.”

Other actors who’ve appeared on Hirschfeld’s canvas and in Williams’ plays include Alec Baldwin, Bette Davis, Katherine

Hepburn, Jessica Lange, Paul Newman, Mercedes Ruehl and Maureen Stapleton.

Leopold said none complained about how Hirschfeld saw them.

“He’d take the part of their face or body that were most distinguishing and exaggerate them,” Leopold said. For 75 years, many of Hirschfeld’s drawings appeared with reviews in The New York Times. Others were stand-alone pictures.

“He was like your best friend

going to the theatre, and he’d tell you what he saw,” Leopold said. “It’s been said that Al Hirschfeld could do in a single picture what a film would take two hours to do.”

Hirschfeld’s widow, Louise Kerz Hirschfeld, praised the exhibit.

“It gives New Orleans a chance to look at one of its most familiar playwrights and see how Al interpreted the work,” she said. “We’re very happy to be a part of something like this.”

Nilla Pizzi, winner of 1st Met deals winning hand San Remo song fest dies with ‘Queen of Spades’

ROME (AP) — Nilla Pizzi, an Italian singer whose voice was deemed too sensual for radio during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini has died. She was 91.

Pizzi died on Saturday at a clinic in Milan, where she was convalescing from an earlier operation, the state television said.

The Italian President Giorgio Napolitano hailed Pizzi in his condolence message as a sensitive interpreter of Italy’s tradition of melodic song.

During fascist rule in the years before World War II, Pizzi was kept away from radio work because her voice was deemed too “modern, exotic and sensual,” according to Italian news agency ANSA. Pizzi triumphed at the 1951 inaugural edition of San Remo, the star -studded festival which promotes Italian song. When she was 90, she sang at San Remo to mark 60 years of the festival and delighted the audience with a still strong and lovely voice.

She also won at San Remo the second year, in 1952, sweeping the festival’s top three prizes, but finished in second place in 1958, when Domenico Modugno won with “Nel blu dipinto di blu,” better known to countless people worldwide as “Volare.”

Pizzi was born Adionilla

Nilla Pizzi performs in this 1963 file photo. Nilla Pizzi, winner of the first San Remo festival, and whose voice was deemed too sensual to sing on radio during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, died on Saturday. She was 91, said RAI state TV, which broadcasts the week-long festival of Italian song each year.

Pizzi, on April 16, 1919, in Sant’Agata Bolognese, a town near Bologna in the Emilia Romagna region of north central Italy.

She once described the

secret of her success as singing those songs which “bring on a good mood, happiness, and maybe even some beautiful memories.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Tchaikovsky’s “Queen of Spades” unfolds with the feverish intensity of a nightmare, punctuated by intervals of courtly elegance and pastoral innocence that offer only brief respite from a gathering sense of doom.

In the revival of Elijah Moshinsky’s 1995 production that opened at the Metropolitan Opera on Friday night, these elements are perfectly balanced, thanks to fine performances by a starry cast and the supple shaping of the score by conductor Andris Nelsons.

The plot, adapted by Tchaikovsky and his brother, Modest, from a Pushkin short story, tells of an impoverished Army officer, Hermann. He is in love with Lisa, granddaughter of the old Countess who is said to know a combination of three cards that will guarantee victory to a gambler.

Hermann becomes so obsessed with this secret that he frightens the old woman to death in trying to pry it out of her. Lisa, realizing his madness, drowns herself in despair, and Her mann — tricked by the Countess’ ghost into betting on the wrong cards — loses everything and also commits suicide.

Moshinsky’s production has a hallucinatory power well-suited to the story, starting with the trapezoidal picture frame that covers the proscenium and skews our perspective. During the opening prelude, a distraught Her mann paces up and down alone on the deep stage whose walls already seem to be threatening to close in on him. The coup of this production — as chilling as ever — is the appearance of the Countess as a ghost, clawing her way through the floorboards in Hermann’s barracks and crawling to his bedside to reveal her secret.

The great mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick was performing the role for the

first time, and it was a treat to hear it sung with such vocal firepower, though one might have wished for a more otherworldly quality in her performance. Her Countess often seemed merely irritable when she should be frightening.

Soprano Karita Mattila, who portrayed Lisa when the production was new 16 years ago, still has a good deal of radiance in her voice. In the scene by the Winter Canal where she ends her life, Mattila sang with an intensity that captured her character’s anguish vividly.

Tenor Vladimir Galouzine does not have a naturally beautiful sound, but he has the power and stamina for the daunting role of Hermann, and he portrayed the character’s growing madness with conviction. Some of his high notes sounded effortful, but most rang out loud and true.

A pair of baritones in key roles made important contributions to the evening.

As Prince Yeletsky, Lisa’s jilted fiance, Peter Mattei sang his gorgeous Act 2 aria with the silky tone we are accustomed to hearing from this artist. Alexey Markov brought swagger and charisma to the role of the cynical Count Tomsky.

Mezzo Tamara Mumford showed off a lustrous voice, impressive at both ends of her range, in the double role of Lisa’s friend Pauline and Daphne in the pastoral entertainment performed at a ball.

Making her debut as Chloe in the same interlude, Dina Kuznetsova displayed a vibrant soprano that made one want to hear more from her.

To cut the running time, the Met is per for ming the opera with just one intermission this year. That means Acts 2 and 3 are played without a break, but under Nelsons’ fleet baton those two hours seemed to fly by.

There are just four more performances through March 26.
