Bipartisan vote belies shutdown division
WASHINGTON (AP) — A rare flash of bipartisanship Saturday served as a cruel tease to those hoping Congress is moving toward reopening the government and averting an unprecedented default on the federal debt in less than two weeks.
Only two days after House Speaker John Boehner raised hopes by telling colleagues he won’t let the nation go into default, key members of both parties conceded that
no one has presented a plausible plan for avoiding it. Instead, they continued to bicker and to ponder the chasm between two warring parties, each of which seems convinced it’s on the winning side morally and politically. There was, however, relief Saturday for thousands of furloughed Pentagon workers and the promise of back pay for all federal workers who have been forced off the job. The Pentagon on Satur-
www.rdrnews.com
day ordered at least 90 percent of its roughly 350,000 furloughed civilian employees back to work, significantly reducing the number of sidelined federal workers. In all, about 800,000 federal workers had been furloughed.
Defense Department said the recall is based on a law passed by Congress this week that allows the Pentagon to end furloughs for “employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabil-
ities and readiness of service members.” Republicans had complained that the administration was slow to bring back those workers in light of the law. The larger stalemate over reopening the federal government persists. Boehner, asked Saturday whether Congress was any closer to resolving the impasse, replied: “No.” Aides close to Boehner say he has not figured out how to end the gridlock. Even the day’s top bipar-
SUNDAY
tisan achievement — agreeing to pay furloughed federal employees for the work days they are missing — was a thin victory. Congress made the same deal after the mid-1990s shutdowns, and Saturday’s 407-0 vote was widely expected. Still, it triggered the sort of derisive quarreling that has prevented Congress from resolving the larger funding and debt dilemmas. “Of all the bizarre
moments” involved in the debate, said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, “this may be the most bizarre: that we will pay people not to work.” He called it “the new tea party sense of fiscal responsibility.”
House Republicans said they want to ease the pain from the partial shutdown. Democrats said Congress should fully re-open the and let gover nment employees work for the pay they’re going to receive.

Hundreds flocked to enjoy a day of free art activities Saturday at the annual block party of the Roswell Museum and Art Center. The event, in its seventh year, attracted at least 913 visitors, according to front door security estimates. Attendees enjoyed a melee of crafts including face painting, pottery and the ever-popular chalk art competition. This competition saw an increase in participants, from under 100 last year to 110, who filled 88 competition slots, this year. Kenna Argenbright, registrar for RMAC and organizer of the competition, referred to it as “growing and growing.” First place in the student category of the competition went to Rose Thorsted, 12. Ken Bertin won first place in the adult category. The winners received cash prizes and gift certificates from sponsors Roswell Fine Arts League and Miniature Art Society, Peter Piper Pizza, Cattle

Grandparents want ‘Biking for Boobies’ team stops by Roswell justice for Jonathan JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER
The grandparents of the month-old baby who died in September have vowed to see justice for Jonathan. Grandmother Andrea spoke of the pain and the torment she felt as she watched her grandson dying in the Albuquerque hospital and the joy felt when he was born. “I fell in love with him immediately,” she said.
Andrea admitted she had concerns about Jonathan’s care and voiced them with officials, but could find little help under the law. Now she’s ready to fight for all the other Jonathans in the world. “If we can save just one family from the pain, just one baby, Jonathan will not have died in vain,” Andrea said. She questioned not only See JUSTICE, Page A2

Three-year -old Brendan Sills, of Roswell, spent part of the afternoon painting the minivan under the guidance of his mother, Libbie. “Is it weird to paint the car?” Libbie asked her son. “No,” he replied. Julia Jorgensen, 9, of Roswell, said she enjoyed the hair and face painting offered at the block party. Some of the face painters at the event were New Mexico Military Institute cadets who had been granted leave to volunteer. Stephen Vollmer, assistant director of RMAC, said the purpose of the RMAC
block party is to draw the community together. He said one of his favorite parts of the day was seeing the outstanding color and design in the chalk paintings, especially those by children. “Each piece is a portrait of the person at this time,” even if the piece is not a literal picture of the person, he said. He said the children’s work conveyed an understanding of the abstract that artists who have undergone for mal training strive to recapture. The work “really shows the amount of talent we have in our region,” he said. He commented that many of the chalk drawings will linger, some leaving shadows that will have to be scrubbed away by the Fire Department when it comes time to prepare for next year’s competition.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It will be their second year trekking across states for a good cause. Last year, they traveled from Key West, Fla., to Toronto and raised $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. “With very low overhead, we can give more money to research,” Buonaiuto said. Though their daily adventures are filled with 50 to 75 miles of travel, the two are full of positive energy about their goal. They hope to raise $37,000 for the foundation. “The reason we picked breast cancer was we both had a friend who was personally af fected by it,” Frankoski said. Their friend, Christina Valentine, 23, was pregnant and diagnosed with cancerous lumps in her breast. She underwent chemotherapy treatment and a partial lumpectomy while pregnant, but was able to give birth to a healthy baby. “She fought through it and she’s a four-year survivor now,” Frankoski said.

the laws in New Mexico, but the laws all across the United States and how reports of child abuse are handled nationwide. She and her husband Don quoted national statistics about 3 million cases of reported neglect/abuse per year. Of these, 1.5 million are confirmed and one-third of the confir med cases become children who died at the hands of another. “We need to have a better system,” Andrea said. Don agreed. “A doctor told me that they treated
ning to either bike up or down the Mississippi River. “I think it’s going to be for St. Jude’s (Chidlren’s Research Hospital),” Buonaiuto said. So far, this year’s journey has provided several memorable moments. They’ve found many opportunities to meet interesting people along the way and usually find an opportunity to eat a local dining establishments. “We’ve also attended a cancer benefit in Englewood, Fla.,” Frankoski said. “The restaurant we were eating at that night donated a meat to us. At the same time, serendipitously, we walked into a room and 200 people stood up and clapped.” The restaurant was hosting a cancer foundation dinner that night, Frankoski said. “We met a lot of women battling cancer,” he said. They have also been given complimentary meals at renowned restaurants in cities along the way, they said. But, they’ve also had to eat pre-packaged military food. At night, the two stay with people who participate in “couch surfing,” which involves a network of some at least one case like Jonathan’s each week. That’s 52 cases a year in just one hospital.” Andrea acknowledged the loss. “I know I can’t bring Jonathan back — he’s in the arms of Jesus now — but perhaps others can lear n from his story.” The grandparents were at a church retreat in Angel Fire when they found out that Jonathan had been taken to Albuquerque and was not expected to live. The family made the ultimate sacrifice, donating his kidneys and his heart to other children in need. Don said he found it personally frustrating
1.5 million people who let travelers stay at their homes at no price. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, the people are really cool,” Frankoski said. “The good outweighs the bad. When you’re 80 miles on your bike one day, you could actually crash anywhere.” They’ve stayed on guest beds, air mattresses or sometimes on the couch. They never know what’s in store for them, until they arrive at the location. “I haven’t been jaded by couch surfing,” Buonaiuto said. They’ve also come up with creative ways to pass the time. “We’ve shot guns to stay out of the rain,” Frankoski said. “Someone donated rounds we could use and we were able to shoot guns to stay out of the rain.” They also swam with manatees and dolphins in Florida. Buonaiuto test drove a Harley-Davidson when they peddled past a dealership that offered free test rides. The two planned to spend Friday in Roswell and tour the city. After that, they were headed to Ruidoso. because he knew what was happening, but could do nothing to stop it according to law.
Andrea referred to Jonathan’s death as devastating for both herself and her husband. “Who knows how many other children have gone mysterious through deaths?”
For now, the couple prays that some good might come from his death if it means that a system that is slow to react might respond with more speed and more urgency when there are reports of suspected abuse.

Health care guides are available to help small business owners navigate healthcare options, but may refer small business clients to brokers, said Patti Watson, CEO of Cooney, Watson and Associates, Inc., a marketing agency handling public relations for NMHIX. Chaves County has two health care guides, Cecilia Cardenas and Alice PalmaAarmendariz, who work in outreach for non-profit healthcare organization La Casa Family Health Center. Due to an anticipated high load of clients, La Casa is currently offering registration services by appointment only. Appointments can be made by visiting La Casa, 1511 W. Grand St., or calling the organization on its mainline, 575-623-3255, or at its Los Ninos Pediatrics of fice, 575-6225956. Easter n New Mexico Medical Center (ENMMC) is slated to have five health care guides, but is pending as a health care guide location, according to NMHIX. While ENMMC will accept walk-in registrations, ENMMC Marketing Director Brooke Linthicum said it is best to make an appointment.
You may schedule an appointment with ENMMC now. Appointments are set to begin Oct. 15. To schedule an appointment with ENMMC, you may call any of the following phone numbers: 575-627-4035, 575-624-4559, 575-6274002, or 575-624-5672. All numbers offer assistance in English and Spanish.

A map of health care guide locations in New Mexico can be found at bewellnm.com/were-hereto-help/. Medicaid will be expanded in 2014 and will be known as Centennial Care. From Jan. 1 on, Medicaid can cover health costs for those who make up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Some jail and prison inmates will qualify for Medicaid as part of the expansion. Human Services Division (HSD) Communications Director Matt Kennicott says 130,000 New Mexicans are expected to be added to Medicaid in 2014. More than 12,000 Chaves County residents are enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid enrollment occurs at hospitals, the office of the Income Support Division (ISD), 1701 S. Sunset Ave., in Roswell, through determiners located in public schools, and online with HSD at yes.state.nm.us. You also may call HSD to sign up for Medicaid at 1-855-6376574. Applications for Medicaid can be started through the exchange, but cannot be completed unless the applicant visits HSD’s Medicaid enrollment website, calls HSD or visits an ISD office. Kennicott says that the application process for Medicaid is being streamlined and there will be only one application for Medicaid programs, whereas in the past there were multiple.
How does my immigration status impact my options?
Naturalized citizens have the same access to Medicaid and plans through NMHIX as U.S.-
born citizens, and will be fined if they are not enrolled in insurance by the end of March.
Lawfully present immigrants also can sign up for plans through NMHIX, but face restrictions on registration for Medicaid. Among lawfully present immigrants, eligibility for Medicaid is based on visa type, age and length of time spent in the U.S. Individuals who fall under the category of “qualified immigrant” may apply for Medicaid if they have been in the country five years or more. In New Mexico, there is an exception to this rule for children and pregnant women who are qualified immigrants, who do not need to wait five years.
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid benefits or NMHIX plans. Jenny Rejeske, a health policy analyst for the National Immigration Law Center, said they can purchase private health insurance outside the from exchange, receive emergency services from hospitals and visit community health centers, which sometimes offer services on a sliding fee scale. Indigent Healthcare Services of Chaves County can partially compensate some healthcare providers for services performed for uninsured individuals, including undocumented immigrants.
Where can I get more information?

NMHIX is conducting a BeWellNM tour that will stop in 10 cities across the state. As part of the tour, NMHIX will hold an informational session Monday in Artesia. The session will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Eddy County Fairgrounds, 3402 S. 13th St., in Artesia.

Suggestions for a Republican response to Obamacare
If Republicans were smart (I know, but stay with me) their focus during the Obamacare debate should have been less on blocking its implementation and more on a page they might have taken from the Democrat’s playbook, which is to rally the country to its side by use of sentimentality and the threat of impending doom. The good news for Republicans is that there’s still time. It’s a sure bet Democrats are right now writing sob stories of tearful children barred from the Lincoln Memorial because of the government “shutdown.” The National Zoo in Washington inexplicably turned off its unmanned Panda Cam, which showed video of the newborn panda cub on the Internet. Boohoo. A recent CBS News poll found that 54 percent of Americans disapprove of Obamacare. Republicans should respond with a campaign to encourage citizen outrage. The Republican Party might cre-

Republicans might respond by saying the insurance “cure” may be worse than the disease and could ultimately reduce the quality and affordability of treatment for many others. For example, instead of saving $2,500 per person as President Obama promised, according to Forbes magazine, “Obamacare will add $7,450 to average health care spending for a family of four between 2014 and 2022.” — People can be shown opening envelopes from their private insurance companies that announce higher premiums, contradicting the president’s promises regarding the low-cost benefits of the Affordable Care Act. — Show young people who had planned to become doctors choosing other professions, claiming Obamacare has made the practice
of medicine less desirable. — Provide testimonials from the British, who languish under the weight of a ponderous universal health system, about long waits to see general practitioners, additional waiting time to see a specialist and still more delays for any kind of government-approved medical procedure. The tagline might be, “Take it from us, America. You don’t know what’s coming. We do.” — Disseminate headlines from British newspapers that report on unnecessary deaths, substandard treatment and unavailable hospital beds in conditions that most Americans would not accept. If the United Kingdom, whose population of slightly more than 62 million people, is experiencing severe problems and potential insolvency with its 65-year -old National Health Service, why would anyone believe a government-run health insurance system in the United States and the health care monstrosity that must inevitably
follow will be any more successful with a population more than 300 million? Government, lumbering and inefficient at best, should not be the arbiter of health care. This battle will not be won in Washington. It must be won in the states. Only when Americans awaken to where Obamacare inevitably leads will Republicans have a chance of winning the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. Only then might Obamacare be repealed. With most diseases, early detection is important. An early repeal of Obamacare is equally vital — before it has a chance to metastasize. Ads will help bring the issue home to a wary public.

Alarmists push false premise
If you think coming upticks in fuel taxes and water rates are alarming, then you won’t want the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to have its way with your power bill. The panel, overseen by the United Nations, last week released a report that says “it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.” This is the IPCC’s fifth assessment report, and with the previous four, anyone who dares challenge its conclusions is castigated as a “denier.” But pesky climate change skeptics persist. Last month, The Associated Press reports, the United States and several European governments tried to persuade the panel’s climate scientists to downplay or even delete evidence of the lack of global warming over the past 15 years, despite rapidly rising global greenhouse gas levels over that same period. Why would those governments go to such measures? Because such information doesn’t fit the narrative the climate change lobby and their media allies have sold for more than two decades. What the IPCC report — and the alarmism coming from the developed world — is really all about is killing off fossil fuel use despite its affordability and reliability. And as alarmist in chief Al Gore has proved, it’s also about the ever-encroaching thought police. Last week, the former vice president said, “There needs to be a political price for climate (change) denial.” News flash: The First Amendment protects the free speech rights of Americans, especially political speech. Mr. Gore’s rhetoric shows climate change is less about science and more about politics; he’s saying global warming is a political cause. And it already has brought great change to the United States. Carbon dioxide emissions — considered the key cause of global warming — are declining domestically. Green energy already is driving power bills ever higher, thanks to government subsidies and mandates. Let the global market set the price of natural resources. Let the free market determine which fuels produce our electricity. The global warming agenda is bad policy based on false premises, and the sooner elected officials stop bowing to climate change, the better off we’ll be. Guest Editorial Las Vegas Review-Journal
The great toilet paper conspiracy
News from the forefront of the Bolivarian Socialist Revolution in Venezuela is the government’s seizure of a toilet paper factory. In carrying out a “temporary occupation” of the Paper Manufacturing Company’s plant, the government was staging an effort to show it is combating shortages of food and basic commodities. It would have been better off canceling its price control policies. Despite the country’s oil wealth — the state oil company had revenues of $124 billion last year — Venezuelans have suffered from a shortage of toilet paper since last spring and have been limited to buying only four rolls at a time. They also encounter periodic shortages of rice, milk, sugar, cooking oil and flour. Economists say the blame falls on the government’s attempt to control prices in a failing effort to combat inflation running at 20 percent a year. Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has blamed the shortages, instead, on a conspiracy of his political opponents and the rich. He gave the same explanation for a major power outage in early September. Interviews by the BBC and CNN with Venezuelan consumers indicate that they are not buying this excuse for the government’s failure to ensure orderly markets. Public support for Maduro is falling, suggesting he would not win re-election at this point, having eked out a bare 1.5 percent victory in last spring’s presidential election. If he keeps up the conspiracy talk he could become a laughingstock. The Bolivarian Socialist Revolution was invented by Maduro’s predecessor Hugo Chavez, in imitation of Marxist-inspired Cuban socialism under Fidel Castro. Maduro is faithfully trying to execute Mr. Chavez’s misguided master plan. But he evidently is not aware of the perils he faces. As Karl Marx wrote, history repeats itself “the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” Guest Editorial The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C
‘Government’ schools need competition People say public schools are “one of the best parts of America.” I believed that. Then I started reporting on them. Now I know that public school — government school is a better name — is one of the worst parts of America. It’s a stultified government monopoly. It never improves. Most services improve. They get faster, better, cheaper. But not government monopolies. Government schools are rigid, boring, expensive and more segregated than private schools. I call them “government” instead of “public” schools because not much is “public”

DEAR DOCTOR K: I had a heart attack last year. I recently had a follow-up exercise stress test. Now my doctor wants me to have a nuclear stress test. What does this entail? What information will it provide? DEAR READER: Nuclear stress tests are similar to exercise stress tests. During an exercise stress test, a patient gets an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure readings, and is monitored as he or she walks on a treadmill. An exercise stress test indicates whether the heart gets enough blood and oxygen when it’s working at its hardest. The test is usually done if a patient has symptoms of coronary artery dis-

Now a school choice movement has given government schools a sliver of competition. Private schools, charter schools, vouchers, education tax credits and the Web offer competition. Not all the alternatives work, but with competition, bad alternatives die and good ones grow. This will help all kids. But so far, the alternatives reach only a small number of kids. Unions and bureaucrats don’t want competition, and they use their political clout to stifle it. But gradually, they’re losing. After fighting homeschooling for years, they’ve stopped
trying to ban it, and today homeschoolers fare better on tests and college admission. So, some in the government monopoly claim that if your kids are homeschooled, they will not be properly socialized (in the sense of interacting with peers, that is, not in the sense of belonging to government). But homeschooled kids participate in all sorts of social events with other homeschooling families — plus theater, ballet, karate and other classes that most kids get and that some only wish they did.
isn’t getting the blood and oxygen it needs to work hard, it can cause the pain called angina. Even when it doesn’t cause pain, it can cause changes in the electrocardiogram. Your doctor probably ordered the nuclear stress test because the results of the regular exercise stress test were inconclusive. During a nuclear imaging test, you’ll exercise on a treadmill just as in the first test. Only this time, you'll get an intravenous injection of a tracer, which is a slightly radioactive substance. There is so little radiation that there are no ill effects. To take a picture of the tracer in your heart muscle,
you’ll lie down as a scanner rotates around you, taking pictures. The scanner tracks blood flow through your heart muscle by detecting the tracer carried to the muscle by your bloodstream. The tracer concentrates in areas of the heart muscle that have a good blood supply. Areas with no blood supply, such as scars from a previous heart attack, won’t collect the radioactive particles. The picture of your heart is taken both when you’ve just finished exercise and when you’re at rest. An abnormality that occurs during exercise, but not at rest, indicates that you have coronary artery dis-

TODAY IN HISTORY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today is Sunday, Oct. 6, the 279th day of 2013. There are 86 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight On Oct. 6, 1927, the era of talking pictures arrived with the opening of “The Jazz Singer,” starring Al Jolson, a movie that featured both silent and sound-synchronized sequences. On this date In 1536, English theologian and scholar William Tyndale, who was the first to translate the Bible into Early Modern English, was executed for heresy. In 1683, thirteen families from Krefeld, Germany, arrived in Philadelphia to begin Germantown, one of America’s oldest settlements. In 1884, the Naval War College was established in Newport, R.I. In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek became president of China. In 1939, as remaining military resistance in Poland crumbled, Adolf Hitler delivered a speech to the Reichstag blaming the Poles for the Nazi-Soviet invasion of their country. In 1949, U.S.-born Iva Toguri D’Aquino, convicted of treason for being Japanese wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was sentenced in San Francisco to 10 years in prison (she ended up serving more than six). In 1958, the nuclear submarine USS Seawolf surfaced after spending 60 days submerged. In 1973, war erupted in the Middle East as Egypt and Syria attacked Israel during the Yom Kippur holiday. In 1976, in his second debate with Jimmy Carter, President Gerald R. Ford asserted there was “no Soviet domination of eastern Europe.” (Ford later conceded he’d misspoken.) In 1979, Pope John Paul II, on a weeklong U.S. tour, became the first pontiff to visit the White House, where he was received by President Jimmy Carter. In 1981, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was shot to death by extremists while reviewing a military parade. In 1989, actress Bette Davis died in Neuilly-sur -Seine (nu-yee-sur -sehn), France, at age 81.

Homeschoolers do just fine. Somehow, without government control, they prosper. Defenders of gover nment schools often claim their schools are what create the American “melting pot.” Different races, ethnic groups and income levels mix together in government-funded schools. Bunk. If it was ever true, it isn’t now. University of Arkansas education professor Jay Greene examined school classrooms and found that public schools were more likely to be almost entirely white or entirely minority. He also looked at who sat with whom in school lunchrooms. At private schools, students of different races were more likely to sit together. We don’t do poor kids any favors by keeping them trapped in the poorly run government system. If you really care about “the public,” you should let people go where they get the best service. When government gets bad results — high dropout rates, poor test scores — its defenders say schools need more money. But spending per student has tripled. There are more computers, teachers, social workers, reading specialists, principals, assistant principals, etc. But test scores haven’t improved.

Your doctor will check whether abnormalities present under stress disappeared once the stress passed. This difference would suggest a risk of coronary artery disease.

A bizarre column in Slate recently, arguing that school choice might drain resources away from gover nment schools, was titled, “If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person.” The columnist wrote, “If every single parent sent every single child to public school, public schools would improve ... It could take generations. Your children and grandchildren might get mediocre educations in the meantime, but it will be worth it, for the eventual common good.” This is how leftists think. Everyone must jump into the government pot. Even if it is mediocre (or worse), we’re all in this together. Otherwise, the rich will get all the goods, and the poor will suffer. Don’t they notice that cell phones, cars and air conditioning keep improving yet poor people are able to buy them? No. They don’t understand that market competition helps everyone, especially the poor. I think those who want to force a single-government solution on everyone are just confused — but if I were as judgmental as that Slate columnist, I’d be tempted to conclude that they’re bad people.

abnormal nuclear stress test is often a cardiac catheterization. This gives a picture of the heart’s arteries and can spot any blockages. Sometimes the blockages can be opened up during the catheterization, using the technique called angioplasty and stenting. So the nuclear stress test helps determine whether the blood supply to some part of the heart muscle is threatened. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Marijuana a dangerous drug
Dear Editor: “Once the camel gets its nose inside the tent, the rest of the camel will eventually end up in the tent (and it will wreak havoc).” The legalization/decriminalization of medical marijuana was the camel’s nose. The legalization/decriminalization of recreational marijuana, cocaine, etc. will be the rest of the camel. Many people say that we’ve lost the war on drugs; therefore, marijuana should be legalized. We’ll never win the so-called war on drugs — no more than we’ll ever win the war on overall crime. Over the ages our taxpayers have spent zillions of dollars on fighting crime. Since we will never win the war on crime, should we legalize all nonviolent crimes? Remember, the legalization of a crime means the sanctioning of the activity that was legalized. We must have some laws for moral reasons (e.g. laws can reduce the number of murders, but they can’t end murder). Additionally, we must have laws to help protect man from his fellow man and also from himself (e.g. some speeders don’t only kill their fellow man; they also kill themselves in auto accidents). Some individuals say that annually our governments could collect millions of dollars if pot was legalized and taxed. Additionally, they say that private companies could also make millions of dollars and create more jobs if marijuana was legalized. “Avarice usually outweighs morality.” Each year people are killed or maimed by drivers who are stoned on pot. Many people who are stoned will drive, because their judgment will be impaired. Per a Royal Canadian Mounted Police study, drivers who smoke marijuana are three times more likely to have an auto accident than drivers who drink alcohol, because THC stays in one’s system longer than alcohol. Additionally, per the CDC, more than 40,000 Americans die each year from second-hand cigarette smoke. A marijuana joint can have up to 70 percent more car-
A5
cinogens than a cigarette. I understand that the CDC hasn’t completed its research on second-hand marijuana smoke. Finally, some businesses have been sued (two that I’m aware of in the state of Oregon, alone), because their employees who were high on pot screwed up. Our nation will always have a serious drug abuse problem as long as our governments concentrate primarily on supply instead of on demand, just as they did during our country’s Prohibition Era. As long as there is a demand for illegal drugs, there will always be a supply. Sincerely, Franklin L. Boren Tinnie
Leaders don’t understand health care plight
Dear Editor: There is so much bitter resistance to Obamacare from Republicans in Congress. I wonder: How many of them have spent anxious hours in the ER with an asthmatic child, over and over, because there was no insurance for regular doctor visits and preventive care? How many of them have watched a loved one die because their cancer was diagnosed too late? No insurance means no routine physicals or diagnostics. Expensive treatments leave families impoverished and bankrupt. Our congressional representatives and staff will be participating in the insurance exchange and must enroll by Oct. 1. However, they are in line to receive federal subsidy of their premiums that ordinary citizens will not get. Considering they’ve got the best deal around, why do they resent bringing basic health care to the rest of us? Margaret Stevens Roswell

The most important decision one will make A6 Sunday, October 6, 2013
Outside an eternal decision, the most important decision any of us will make in our lives is whom we will marry. Last week I listened to a fourpart series by Dr. Andy Stanley of North Point Church outside Atlanta on dating and marriage. It gave good wisdom that may help you or someone you know. I will summarize his concepts with my own thoughts. Let me start with two of my global thoughts. I don’t believe most people really know the person they are marrying at the time they say “I do.” People get married more for emotional reasons than for logical reasons. Basically, people make a lifetime commitment, tie the knot, and then figure out where to go from there. About half make it and about half don’t. Why do people get married? There are countless reasons. I will set out some: Because of religious beliefs, because of an unanticipated pregnancy, because of rebellion against other family members, because it seems like the right thing to do, because everyone else is doing it, to please mom and dad, out of fear that no one else will come along, the timing is right, both have the same interests, for military benefits before a spouse travels overseas, oh, and yes, out of love. Ask a young couple discussing marriage if they are compatible for a lifetime commitment and you may hear responses such as “It is fate that we are together ... we met at a social function a month ago and in our discussions we found out we both have the same breed of dog, we like the

same music and we both came from broken families. We have so much in common, it is clear we were meant to be together.” Fate sounds good at the front end. Will it carry the couple when the honeymoon ends and the first storm hits? Ask an unemotional acquaintance of the same two if they should get married and you may hear comments like “I don’t think they will make it, they are both so dif ferent!” What we focus on expands. Who is right and who is wrong? Time reveals the answer. Will the couple’s common interest in their dogs pull them through their first financial crisis? I am not down on marriage or the reasons people marry, but I will repeat my comment above: people get married more for emotional reasons than logical reasons. There is nothing wrong with this. Love is an emotion. I hope every marriage has a love component or else it doesn’t need to occur. But what I am saying is that love alone doesn’t generally equip a couple to weather the storms ahead. Let me move to Dr. Stanley’s messages. He shares about a young lady who counseled with him who had met the man of her dreams. In a discussion with her
Dear Editor: I have begun to dread opening the paper. The letters to the editor have been brutal. I saw a man try and defend an outdated theory with so many holes in it, that it was laughable. It was said best by Harvard University biochemist and Nobel Laureate, George Wald: “When it comes to the origin of life there are only two possibilities: Creation or spontaneous generation. There is no third way. Spontaneous generation was disproved one hundred years ago, but that leads us to only one other conclusion, that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: That life arose spontaneously by chance!” It was just a philosophy. All the flaws, and they were numerous, were brought out and the creationists had only scratched the surface of this joke called evolution. There was no “primordial soup,” no “spontaneous generation,” no “tree of life,” the odds made it impossible, mutations did not change life forms and even the Urey and Miller experiments proved nothing. What did Miller say

mother she listed all the attributes that made him the perfect husband and father to be. From looks to job to family priorities to his spiritual faith, this man had it all. The young lady’s excitement grew as she described the man to her mother until her mother said, “What does he see in you? I don’t think you are good enough for him.” Ouch. Dr. Stanley makes the point that the best way to find the right person is to be the right person. Is your life in order? What do you have to offer? Are you making decisions that will cause another to fall in love with the person who you truly are? He focuses on “today is tomorrow’s yesterday.” In other words do the choices you make today make you more attractive as a spouse or less attractive? You are creating a history each day you live. What you of fer a potential spouse will determine what your spouse values in you. Dr. Stanley talks about bait on a hook. Some dress sensuously to use their bodies to lure in a member of the opposite sex. Again, no problem here, but what you catch is determined by what you put on the hook. If your body is the hook, you will likely get someone who values your body. If your family values or spiritual priorities is your bait, you will likely get someone who appreciates these attributes. Understand that in spelling this out for you, I am not seeking to judge others, anyone can make their own choices on these issues. I just want people to understand that their choices bring consequences ... hopefully
40 years later? “The problem of the origin of life has turned out to be much more difficult than I, and most other people envisioned.” How embarrassing! Burleson begged us over and over to believe him and not the experts. Sorry you lost again. You should’ve never opened up this discussion. Even Darwin’s flaws were brought out. It was his personal feelings that influenced the results of his findings. Instead of a common designer, he said they had a common ancestor. He was wrong. He hated the teaching of hellfire. Then that opened up the scathing rebuke of false religions with their God dishonoring false teachings (such as eternal torment) and their extensive bloodguilt. It was their false teachings that influenced Darwin to go down a dark path of no return and led generations of people to believe in survival of the fittest. People now saw that their church leaders were in bed with the politicians. Several people I know left their churches. Pastors prayed that their members would not read the newspaper. Then others jumped in to defend the “free thinkers.” A terrible mistake. That person later tried to distance herself from the issue by saying she was just encouraging “curiosi-
good ones, but sometimes bad. Dr. Stanley talks about how people marry with a promise to change. They identify problem flash points in their relationship before marriage and then assume that marriage will cure the conflicts. They think the marriage will be like a blindfold, instead it is a magnifying glass. Worse yet, some people after marrying and having major relational struggles, decide they will correct their problems by having children. You get the point. It is hard to understand why a person complains once married about attributes of their spouse that they displayed before marriage. If the potential spouse is disrespectful, abusive, alcoholic, etc. before marriage, why marry and then complain about these characteristics after marriage? Dr. Stanley suggests that a person resolve childhood issues before marrying. Don’t bring issues you aren’t able to conquer separately into a marriage relationship. The marriage commitment is tough enough when two become one without having to overcome unresolved childhood issues. Get out of debt. The stress that debt brings to a new marriage can doom it before it gets out of the blocks. Get rid of bad habits now. Whether it is a full addiction or moving that direction. Clean up your own world so your spouse doesn’t have to fight this battle with you also. Postpone a physical relationship as long as possible. Many marriages result because of a physical relationship rather than other areas of compatibility that are more important. Dr. Stanley
ty and critical thinking.” But it was too late, the damage was done. She had helped expose a terrible fact: An entire form of worship was basically “null and void.” It was just another religion that was flawed and doomed. The dogmatic, atheist Burleson definitely thought he was being defended, so really, all she did was embolden ignorance and slander. To say that the magnificent universe was a product of chance is to slander the Creator. With her PhD you would think she would realize the facts, about her religion and about atheists. “The foolish have said there is no God.” People were running for cover. Another said he championed truth over myth, only to see the truth he believed in was the myth and what he called myth was overwhelmingly supported by evidence. Next, it was the government that was shown to be controlled by corporations (fascism). Incompetent and doomed they control the ignorant with handouts, deception and fear. It was revealed that Satan is the “God of this system of things” and the overlord of all the governments. And you were rushing out to vote! What a waste of time. Next it was revealed that extraterrestrials
encourages people to set a goal of no physical relationship for a year whether a person is in a relationship or not. He says that setting such a goal often results in finding the right person during that year without the issues that physical relationships bring. He says don’t live together first. He states that there is no evidence that living together first makes a marriage more likely to succeed. Now I’ve packed a lot of thoughts in a small space and likely have stepped on some toes. My challenge to you today is to be the person you want your spouse to be whether you are in a marriage, dating or unattached. Work on yourself first. Work on yourself now. Sometimes that is all any of us can work on. You can’t change your past that exists as you read this, but you will create your future past beginning today. If you are not married, reread the above concepts. You are free to disagree with any of them, but consider them separately and taken as a whole and maybe something set out above will help you in your future relationship with the person you are yoked with.

do exist and they are demons existing in the fourth dimension. Those who promoted atheism were also promoting UFO research. Who would have guessed that their proof of aliens was the proof that beings of a higher dimension exist and one of them was the Creator who created those beings and also used energy to create all the matter in the universe! The demons must love all the attention they’re getting. There’s TV shows about them, books, movies and an entire city has adopted them as their mascot! So where do we go from here?

So what do you think? Should I send money to Israel? Get real! And going to church? You’ve got to be kidding! Now you see why I dread opening up the newspaper? It has been interesting, though. But I bet all those people wish they had just left well enough alone. Sincerely, Edwin Silverne Dexter

Michigan quilter wins $200K ArtPrize contest
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A quilter inspired by a Lake Michigan lakeshore near her home was declared the winner Friday of the $200,000 ArtPrize competition in Michigan. Ann Loveless of Frankfort, Mich., won the public voting at the annual 19day event in Grand Rapids, Mich., which ends Sunday. Her quilt is titled “Sleeping Bear Dune Lakeshore,” named for a national lakeshore in northern Michigan. It was displayed on a
wall at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, one of 168 venues showing ArtPrize entries, but then was moved to an outdoor tent after the federal government shutdown closed the museum. The public participates in two rounds of voting to distribute $360,000 of prize money. There were 1,524 pieces of art by 1,805 artists from 47 countries. Anni Crouter of Flint, Mich., won the $75,000 second prize for “Polar Expressed,” three large
polar bear paintings. Sculptor Andy Sacksteder of Port Clinton, Ohio, won the $50,000 third prize for “UPLifting,” a bronze sculpture of two dancers. In a separate category, a jury of arts professionals awarded a $100,000 prize to Carlos Bunga for “Ecosystem,” made with cardboard, tape and paint. The work reimagines a gallery in the for mer Grand Rapids Public Museum. The Portgueseborn artist, who lives in Barcelona, Spain, said he had to study and know the
space very well to create the site-specific piece at SiTE:LAB in Grand Rapids. Now in its fifth year, ArtPrize has put Michigan’s second-largest city on the inter national art map, thanks to a unique system
in which artists and venues independently connect with each other using ArtPrize’s online portal. It’s sort of like online dating for artists, or what ArtPrize executive director Christian Gaines calls “a
self-sustained ecosystem.” “ArtPrize is unique to any other art competition in the world, in that curatorial decisions, finalists and winners are ultimately generated by” that ecosystem, Gaines said.

In one of the highest scoring games in New Mexico Military Institute history, it was the Scottsdale Artichokes who left Colt Field with its lead in the WSFL standings intact. The Artichokes racked up 797 yards of total offense, including 689 through the air, and outscored the Broncos 49-28 in the second half to win 77-56. Scottsdale improved to 5-1 overall and in conference play, remaining tied atop the WSFL standings with Arizona Western with two weeks left in the regular season. Artichoke quarterback Blake Decker was 31 of 51 for 689 yards and 10 touchdowns through the air and led the team in rushing with 35 yards and a score on seven carries.

Scottsdale scored three times during a 6-minute stretch that spanned the third and fourth quarters to take a 21-point lead and break a 42-all tie. With no time remaining in the third quarter, Decker hit Anas Hasic in the corner of the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown. Scottsdale never trailed again. Decker threw another score 3 1/2 minutes into the fourth and hit Hasic again 2 1/2 minutes after that to make it 63-42. Hasic finished the game with 167 yards and three scores, leading a trio of receivers with at least 100 yards and a TD. Beau Tanner had 143 yards and two scores and Braedon Bowman caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Three other Artichoke receivers had at least 50 yards and a score — Teddy Ruben (80 yards, one touchdown), Steve Bell (67, one) and Za’Quan Summers (50, one). For NMMI, Quinn Billerman threw for a career-high 494 yards and six touchdowns See WILD, Page B2

New Mexico’s Kasey Carrier (5) celebrates a touchdown run with teammates LaMar Bratton, left, and Roswell alumnus Andrew Aho during the Lobos’ win over archrival New Mexico State in the Rio Grande Rivalry, Saturday.
Lobos dominate ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Kasey Carrier rushed for three first-quarter touchdowns to lead New Mexico to a 66-17 victory Saturday over rival New Mexico State. Five dif ferent Lobos scored on the ground while Carlos Wiggins added a touchdown catch and took a kickoff back for another score as New Mexico (2-3) equaled its highest point total in the series with the Aggies (0-6).
“It’s good to get a win,” said New Mexico coach Bob Davie. “It was a big win for us. There’s no hiding that.” Carrier finished with 126 yards on 14 carries, and Lobos quarterback Cole Gautsche added 127 yards on 12 carries with one touchdown rushing and one passing. “Really momentum came on our side very quick,”
Sometimes, despite one’s best efforts, it just isn’t in the cards for a team to get a win. This was the story for the Goddard girls soccer team when they squared of f against the Hobbs Lady Eagles Saturday. The Rockets fell to the Eagles by a score of 4-0 despite valiant effort throughout the entire game. Straight out of the gates it was evident that Hobbs was on an entirely different level than the Rockets. They handled possession with ease, but the feisty Rocket defense negated every opportunity for the first 15 minutes with either a clearance or a save by goalie Averi Mann. Mann kept her clean sheet for 15 minutes, but in the 16th minute, Eagles’ forward Neomi Carrillo ruined that when her shot deflected off of Mann and into the back of the net to make the score 1-0.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A pair of Oakland rookies, one heralded and the other a relative unknown, provided everything the Athletics needed to tie their AL division series with Detroit at one game apiece. Stephen Vogt hit a basesloaded single in the ninth inning after rookie Sonny Gray matched zeros with Justin Verlander in a sensational playoff debut, lifting Oakland over the Tigers 1-0 on Saturday night. Yoenis Cespedes and Seth Smith hit back-toback singles against loser Al Alburquerque to start the winning rally, then Josh Reddick was intentionally walked before Rick Porcello entered to face Vogt. He lined a clean single past drawn-in shortstop Jose Iglesias and into leftcenter. “It’s just really nice to come out in front of these home fans in a must-win game and come through,” See WIN, Page B3

Rees leads Irish to 37-34 Shamrock win over ASU
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tommy Rees and Notre Dame felt right at home during another trip to South Bend South in Texas. Rees threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns, and Notre Dame made it 5 for 5 in the traveling Shamrock Series with a 3734 victory against No. 22 Arizona State on Saturday night. Kyle Brindza kicked three second-half field goals, including the go-ahead kick from 25 yards with 3:03 remaining. He tied a Notre Dame record with a 53-yarder that matched the longest in a college game at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys. It was the second win in Texas in the fiveyear Shamrock run of home games on the road for the Irish (4-2), starting with a victory over Washington State in San Antonio in 2009. “It’s a big win for us, to get right back on the right track in the bye week and the halfway point of the season,” said Rees, who had just nine completions in a loss to Oklahoma last week. “It was kind of a game we understood the importance of and we were really ready to go and had a great week of preparation.” Taylor Kelly threw for 362 yards and three scores for the Sun Devils (3-2), who missed on a chance to become the first team to beat Southern California and Notre Dame in consecutive weeks. Notre Dame’s T.J. Jones had eight catches for 135 yards, including a pair of firstdown catches on the drive to the winning field goal. Cam McDaniel, who went to school in nearby Coppell, had four straight carries for 32 yards to get Notre Dame in field goal range. McDaniel finished with a game-high 82 yards. The Irish clinched the win when Dan Fox, who recovered a fumble to set up a touchdown, returned Kelly’s second interception 14 yards for a touchdown with 1:08 remaining. The Sun Devils pulled within 37-34 on Kelly’s third TD — a 16-yarder to Marion Grice with 11 seconds left — but Jones recovered an onside kick. Notre Dame, one of the best in the country at rushing the passer last year but statistically one of the worst this year, found its form. The Irish pressured Kelly throughout, and Prince Shembo had three of their six sacks, including one for a 10-yard loss the first play after Brindza’s kick that put the Irish ahead for good. “We all remember what we saw last year defensively salting away games and we feel(asterisk) like our defense is continually getting better,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “We are not there yet.” The Irish led 24-13 after Rees’ 21-yard touchdown on a jump ball to 6-foot-7 tight end Troy Niklas, but the Sun Devils got back in it with a 37-yard interception return by Osahon Irabor and Kelly’s 21-yard scoring toss to De’Marieya Nelson that made it 27all. Rees’ scoring toss to Niklas — his third — came two plays after Bennett Jackson stripped ASU receiver Richard Smith on a short pass, with the loose ball bouncing into the arms of Fox. “I thought that was the play of the game,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. “There’s 14 points off two plays and guess what, those count. We just did a poor job taking care of the football.”

SCOREBOARD
Morgan came to the rescue and saved the sixth-ranked Bulldogs’ championship aspirations. Morgan kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime after Murray threw a game-tying touchdown pass with 5 seconds remaining in regulation Saturday as Georgia overcame a flurry of injuries in a 34-31 victory at Tennessee. “I hit it and I knew it was good,” Morgan said. “I was just thinking - I don’t know - I just kind of lay down because I saw people running at me and my knee’s already (been) hurting all game.” Morgan wasn’t the only Bulldog with an aching knee. Georgia running back Keith Marshall injured his right knee in the first quarter and was carted into the locker room, the first sign this day might not go as planned for the Bulldogs. They found a way to win anyhow. Georgia (4-1, 3-0 SEC) forced overtime on Murray’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Rantavious Wooten to make it 31-all. Georgia coach Mark Richt said the play actually was designed as a fade to the outside, but Murray instead found Wooten open across the middle. Rajion Neal’s 7-yard run had put Tennessee (3-3, 0-2) ahead 31-24 with 1:54 left after Justin Worley found A.J. Branisel for a 28-yard completion on fourth-and-1 from the Georgia 35. Tennessee’s Alton “Pig” Howard capped the first overtime possession by losing control of the ball as he dove toward the front right corner of the end zone. Howard’s play was initially ruled a 7-yard touchdown, but replays showed he fumbled prior to crossing the goal line, turning the potential score into a turnover and touchback. “Alton gave us a spark today,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “He was just trying to make a play.” Murray went 19 of 35 for 196 yards with three touchdowns and became the Southeastern Conference’s all-time leader in career yards passing. Murray has thrown for 11,625 yards to break the record held by David Greene, who threw for 11,528 yards for Georgia from 2001-04. Neal ran for 148 yards for Tennessee (3-3, 0-2), which has lost 19 straight games against ranked opponents. “A lot of guys went down today and that hurts a lot,” Murray said. “We hit a lot of adversity all day long and we had to push through it, find guys to step up and guys stepped up, made some big plays for us.” Marshall injured his knee after taking a hit from Tennessee’s Cam Sutton while reaching for an incomplete pass in the first quarter and was carted into the locker room. Wide receivers Michael Bennett and Justin Scott-Wesley and punter Collin Barber were knocked out of the game later. Georgia played the entire game without injured star running back Todd Gurley and safeties Tray Matthews and Connor Norman. Richt didn’t have an update on the status of players injured Saturday, but he said Gurley had a 50-50 chance of playing next week against Missouri. Marshall was on crutches after the game. “I just don’t know what the carnage is right now,” Richt said.
Mayfield throws for 368, No. 20 Texas Tech rolls
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — How costly Texas Tech’s 54-16 victory over Kansas is going to be is not yet known. Minutes after the No. 20 Red Raiders scored 54 straight points to swamp the hapless Jayhawks and remain unbeaten, coach Kliff Kingsbury said he could not be sure how badly quarterback Baker Mayfield was hurt. The true freshman had already passed for 368 yards when he was helped off the field with just seconds to go in the third quarter. Mayfield has started every game for the Red Raiders (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) who are 5-0 for the first time since 2008 and possibly poised for a breakthrough season behind a true freshman walk-on. “I just saw him limping off and he wasn’t putting much weight on that (right) leg,” said Kingsbury. “I’ve got to talk to the docs and see.” Mayfield was hurt when tackled while passing. There was no penalty. He hobbled very slowly off the field with someone helping him under each arm. He was 33 of 51 with one interception. With Mayfield in command after Kansas took a 10-0 lead, the Red Raiders surged, and went to 14-1 all-time against the Jayhawks (2-2, 0-1). Kansas lost its 22nd straight Big 12 game. “I thought Baker settled in and started finding guys,” Kingsbury said. “The O-line played good the whole day.” Kansas coach Charlie Weis said the Red Raiders didn’t change anything to ignite their offense. “No, they didn’t. And that’s what bothers you the most,” Weis said. Backup Davis Webb threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ward and a 4-yard scoring pass to Dylan Cantrell. The Red Raiders also scored twice on short runs by DeAndre Washington while rolling up 518 total yards on an exhausting 100 plays. The turning point may have come with about 5 minutes left in the second quarter when the score was tied 10-all and Kansas punter Trevor Pardula, facing a fourth-and-12 from the Kansas 17, fielded the snap but took off running. The junior kicker, who two weeks earlier averaged a school-record 57.6 yards on five punts, was tackled on the 16 and a moment later Mayfield scored on a 19-yard quarterback draw. “It was based on whether something happens, you have to take it,” Weis said. “And he kind of got caught in that gray area. In hindsight, he wouldn’t do it. But if he had a certain look, he was able to do that.” Eric Ward caught seven balls for 122 yards, tight end Jace Amaro caught nine for 96 and Jakeem Grant added seven catches for 92 yards for Tech. “There was one drive we probably ran

Americans seize control in Presidents Cup
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — The Presidents Cup has a familiar feel in so many ways. Players leave every night in darkness and resume matches the next morning when it’s almost as dark. The rain never leaves, with another half-inch accumulating on top of a previous inch of rain that led to yet another delay Saturday. The ball doesn’t bounce when it lands on the green. It splats. And the International team is still trying to figure out what it has to do to beat the Americans. When another long day ended at Muirfield Village, the Americans were assured of the lead going into the final round of singles matches. Zach Johnson took care of that with a wedge from 115 yards that disappeared into the cup for eagle on the 15th hole as he and Jason Dufner completed the only foursomes match with a 4-and-3 victory. Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar were doing their part, having won every match they played. Woods delivered another signature moment in the Presidents Cup, hitting a fairway metal that plopped down 4 feet below the pin for an eagle that was conceded and a 2-up lead that allowed them to rally for a fourballs win earlier Saturday. Woods and Kuchar were 2 down at the turn in their foursomes match against Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge. “This guy is a horse - holy cow!” Kuchar said. “He played some incredible golf today.” Still to be determined was how big the lead was going to be. The other four matches were to be completed Sunday morning - weather permitting - and the Americans were leading 11 1⁄2-6 1⁄2. They were 2 up in one match, while the Internationals were 3 up and 2 up in two others. The fourth match was all square, momentum on the American side. “Well, it’s not over,” International captain Nick Price said. “We’ve still got a lot of golf to play tomorrow, and I have the utmost confidence in these guys that they can turn those two games around. We don’t want to go into the singles with too much of a deficit.” Since the Presidents Cup began in 1994, no team has ever trailed going into singles and won outright. The Americans were three points behind in 2003 and rallied for that infamous tie in South Africa. “The U.S. has really been unrelenting,” Price said. “They have just played superbly the last three days. Any slip from us and we find ourselves one or two down very quickly.”

Gray said. “It was awesome.” The AL West champion A’s had eight walk-off wins during the regular season, then did it again at the perfect time on baseball’s October stage. It was Vogt’s first career game-winning hit — and it came after he lost a 10pitch battle with Verlander in the seventh for his third strikeout of the night. Grant Balfour pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the win. Game 3 is Monday afternoon in Detroit. Right-hander Jarrod Parker, who
pitched Game 1 at Comerica Park last year and lost to Verlander, goes for the A’s against 14-game winner Anibal Sanchez. “It’s going to be a lot of fun the next three games,” Gray said. Alburquerque struck out two in the eighth. He is still remembered for kissing the ball while recording an out in the ninth inning of a Game 2 win last October. The A’s got him this time. Gray hung tough with a masterful Verlander in a thrilling pitchers’ duel between the rookie making his 11th career start and the 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner. Each calmly worked out of tough
jams, wore their emotions on their sleeves — with fist pumps and cheers — and set down the heart of the other’s batting order. Gray struck out nine in eight dazzling innings, allowing four hits. Verlander, who beat the A’s twice in the ALDS last fall, struck out 11 to give him 33 Ks in his past three postseason outings against Oakland. At the start of Verlander’s remarkable 2011 season, Gray was finishing up at Vanderbilt before becoming the 18th overall draft pick. Brandon Moss drew a leadoff walk in the seventh and Reddick singled two outs later with Moss beating a throw to third and
Reddick advancing. That gave the A’s their best scoring chance of the night against Verlander, with two Tigers relievers warming. Vogt fouled off five straight pitches, laid off a ball and fouled another before ball two. He fouled one more but then struck out on a high 98 mph fastball, and Verlander marched off the mound pumping both fists. Facing his biggest jam of the night with runners at the corners and one out in the fifth, Gray got Austin Jackson to swing on a 3-0 count and later struck him out. Vogt also fired a perfect throw to second base from behind the plate to get Igle-
BOSTON (AP) — John Lackey has watched David Ortiz wreak destruction on playoff opponents before. He finally got a chance to see it from the same dugout. “I like it a lot better on this side, that’s for sure,” Lackey said after Ortiz hit two homers to lead the Red Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday and give Boston a 2-0 lead in the AL division series. It was the first two-homer postseason game for Ortiz, who is the only player remaining from the 2004 Red Sox team that won the franchise’s first World Series title in 86 years. He was also a star of the ’07 team that won it all; both times, they opened the playoffs by eliminating Lackey’s Los Angeles Angels. “He’s tough this time of year — any time of year,” Lackey said. “He’s a guy that likes bright lights, for sure.” Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and scored three runs for the AL East champions. Dustin Pedroia drove in three runs, and Lackey earned the win in his first postseason start since joining the Red Sox as a free
agent in 2010. Ortiz hit his first homer in the first inning, then his second in the eighth to chase Rays starter David Price. “As long as we win, it means a lot,” Ortiz said. “It’s not over. We’ve got to keep on fighting.” Tampa Bay will need a victory in Game 3 on Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla., to avoid a sweep in the bestof-five series. The Rays won three win-or -go-home games this week just to reach this round, including Price’s complete game in the tiebreaker against Texas to determine the second AL wild-card team. “I’m really looking forward to Game 5 here,” said Rays manager Joe Maddon, knowing the Rays would have to win the next two to force the series to the limit. “We just went through a week of (our) backs against the wall, so it’s not new to us. It’s going to be difficult. ... But I don’t think it’s impossible by any means.” “Boston this time of the year is kind of lovely, and I’m looking forward to coming back in a few days.” With the situation not yet desperate, Price allowed seven runs on nine hits and
two walks, striking out five. He took the mound for the eighth inning, but Ortiz hit his second pitch high over the Pesky Pole, and rightfield umpire Chris Guccione signaled it fair. “When he hits two home runs, things are going to revolve around him,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He’s the main cog in our lineup.” There was no such suspense for Ortiz’s first homer, which went into Boston bullpen to make it 2-0. Not even right fielder Wil Myers, who misplayed a Big Papi popup into a double in right field in Boston’s 12-2 win on Friday, could be blamed for that one. Every Red Sox starter had a hit and scored a run in Game 1. In the sequel, everyone in the starting lineup got a hit except Mike Napoli, who drew two walks. Lackey lasted 5 1 ⁄ 3 innings for Boston, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out six and also hit a batter while getting the win.

consisted of more possession domination by the Eagles and more stellar play from Mann. She finished the first half with six saves, in comparison to only one from the Hobbs keeper. The Rockets gained possession many times due to great hustle from the defense, but were unable to string passes together and provide a pristine scoring opporunity. The second half was more of the same. Mann showed her excellence in the 47th minute with a great div-
ing save on a header from Carrillo. Mann could not hold the 1-0 lead on her own come the 53rd minute. Eagle forward Maricruz Carrillo tapped in an open-net goal after receiving a cross from N. Carrillo, making the score 2-0. Goddard got its first, and only, real scoring opportunity in the 60th minute when Bethany Alvarez was granted a free kick from 20 yards out. She put a laser shot on goal, but the Hobbs keeper made the save. In the 62nd minute, Hobbs was granted a free kick from 25 yards out and capitalized. Defender Joslyn Nelson stepped up and put an unsaveable shot past Mann into

Mann made the initial save, but the rebound fell straight back to the feet of Gonzales, who put away the final goal of the match. Goddard coach Betty Elizondo said, “I told my girls going into this game to go out play hard and just enjoy the game of soccer, and that’s what they did. We need to work on our communication and on working together, but I am proud of the effort the girls showed, and that is all I can ask.”

NFL This Week: Big matchups in the NFC North Roswell Daily Record
The Pack is back — on the field, that is, after a bye. And the first chore is a big one: Green Bay needs to beat Detroit at Lambeau Field or fall far behind in the NFC North. Not that Chicago, the other contender in the division through the first month of the season, has an easy challenge on Sunday, either. The Bears host undefeated New Orleans. Not much has gone the way the Packers projected early in the schedule, and their only victory is against struggling Washington. The fourth-week bye helped them heal up, and now they feel it’s time to make a statement in the division before it’s too late. Besides, their 21-game, regular-season home winning streak against Detroit is the longest in NFL history. “If we were 3-0, the fact that it’s a division game is pretty important, adds a little more significance to the game,” defensive tackle B.J. Raji said. “We’re aware that a good team is coming in here, but I believe if we play well, we’ll have a good chance.” Chicago comes of f a sloppy loss at Detroit, and faces the prolific New Orleans offense. Even with the Saints on a short week after Monday night’s romp over Miami, the game offers little comfort for the Bears. “Their ability to run the ball, their ability to pass the ball,” Bears safety Chris Conte said, listing what impresses him about the Saints. “They have (running back Darren) Sproles, who is a big threat, and they also have Jimmy Graham; guys on the outside, Marques Colston — tons of guys who can just push the field, fast guys. And their ability — Drew Brees — to move safeties and find guys deep. “They’re doing a great job.”
Browns 37, Bills 24 In Cleveland, quarterback Brandon Weeden replaced injured starter Brian Hoyer and rallied Cleveland to a 37-24 win Thursday night over Buffalo, which also lost starting rookie quarterback EJ Manuel with a knee injury. Weeden threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon in the third quarter as the Browns (3-2) won their third straight and temporarily moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Safety T.J. Ward intercepted rookie Jeff Tuel’s pass and returned it 44 yards for a TD with 1:44 left to end any comeback hopes for the Bills (2-3). Hoyer sustained a potentially serious right knee injury on a scramble in the first quarter, and Manuel was forced out after taking a helmet to his right knee on a run in the third. On Sunday, it’s New England at Cincinnati, Seattle at Indianapolis, Baltimore at Miami, Kansas City at Tennessee, Denver at Dallas, Houston at San Francisco, San Diego at Oakland, Carolina at Arizona, Philadelphia at the New York Giants, and Jacksonville at St. Louis. Monday night’s matchup has the New York Jets at Atlanta. Off this week are Minnesota and Washington, both 1-3, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh, both 0-4. Detroit (3-1) at Green Bay (1-2) The Lions can score — so can the Packers, of course — and their offense has nice balance with the emergence of Reggie Bush as a force. Bush comes off a 173-yard game, including a 37-yard touchdown run against the Bears, and has been a perfect complement for star receiver Calvin Johnson. “Eventually teams are going to have to loosen up on Calvin or Reggie is going to continue to have big days like that,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “That’s a good position to be in offensively.” Detroit leads the NFC with eight picks, so Aaron Rodgers needs to be careful. New Orleans (4-0) at Chicago (3-1) Careful isn’t necessarily in Drew Brees’ vocabulary because even when he gambles, such as throwing into triple coverage to Jimmy Graham, the brilliant tight end comes up with a TD catch. Still, the Bears are a ball-hungry bunch on defense, leading the league with 14 takeaways, and will need to be aggressive. If they expect their offense to keep pace with the Saints, that could be a pipe

dream.
New England (4-0) at Cincinnati (2-2) Other than Tom Brady, the one player the Patriots probably couldn’t afford to have go down is nose tackle Vince Wilfork. He did against Atlanta with a torn Achilles tendon, so New England will be without the heart of its improved defense. Expect the Bengals to respond with a heavy dose of former Patriot BenJarvus Green-Ellis and rookie Giovani Bernard running the ball. Brady has never lost to the Bengals (4-0) and the Patriots have won six straight regular-season road games.
Seattle (4-0) at Indianapolis (3-1) OK, no more questioning the Seahawks’ road skills after that gutsy comeback victory at Houston. Seattle’s defense should be good enough to win anywhere, so this will be a test because Indy is showing some versatility with the ball. Most fun to watch here might not be second-year QBs Andrew Luck against Russell Wilson, but the running game with powerhouses Marshawn Lynch for Seattle and Trent Richardson for Indianapolis.
Baltimore (2-2) at Miami (3-1) After that stinker in Buffalo, the Ravens are in a tough spot. They need Joe Flacco to avoid tur novers (five interceptions against the Bills) and for the running game with Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce to wake up. The Dolphins were sent back to earth by New Orleans last weekend, and a previously staunch defense was exposed, particularly in pass coverage. Plus, QB Ryan Tannehill is getting hit too much, on pace to set a team record for being sacked and perhaps threaten the league mark of 76.
Kansas City (4-0) at Tennessee (3-1) The T itans’ tur naround could get derailed with emerging quarterback Jake Locker out for several weeks with a hip injury. At least they have a veteran backup in Ryan Fitzpatrick, and they’ll likely turn to Chris Johnson and the ground game more often. Kansas City, only the second franchise to go 4-0 after a two-win season, is winning with solid defense, especially the pass rush, and a conservative attack. The Chiefs had their first giveaways last Sunday, yet still routed the Giants.
Denver (4-0) at Dallas (2-2) Peyton Manning’s 16 TD passes are the most through four games in any season, on pace for 64, which would shatter Tom Brady’s record of 50. Dallas has allowed 10 touchdown throws already, but at least the Cowboys can get after the quarterback, with 14 sacks. They have little chance of pulling off an upset if they can’t slow Manning and crew. “We didn’t get to Philip Rivers enough, we did not make him uncomfortable,” coach Jason Garrett said, referring to last week’s loss at San Diego. “We done a good job in the first three games making the quarterback’s job hard and we were sacking him, and hitting him and getting him off the spot. We didn’t do that last week. We have to do that this week.” Uh, yeah.
Houston (2-2) at San Francisco (2-2) Yet another quality matchup, with both sides having something to prove as they look up in their division. The Niners were awful in their last home game and got manhandled by the Colts. Then they blew out St. Louis in a short week and have had plenty of time to prepare for the Texans. Houston, which trails Indy and Tennessee in the AFC South, dominated Seattle, the NFC West leader, for more than a half last Sunday, then folded. San Francisco’s ultra-aggressive defense will go hard after QB Matt Schaub. New York Jets (2-2) at Atlanta (1-3), MNF It’s getting to be a dire time for the Falcons, who have gone from nearly making the Super Bowl to an also-ran behind the Saints in the NFC South. Their defeats have been close, but that might be even more worrisome — can they close the deal? They rank 29th in red zone efficiency.

Aaron Rogers and the Green Bay Packers return to the field after a bye to face the 3-1 Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, Sunday.
Getting the inconsistent and banged-up Jets in prime time could be the cure all, especially if New York’s normally reliable defense struggles the way it did at Tennessee.
San Diego (2-2) at Oakland (1-3) Break out the caffeine to stay awake for this one. The Raiders share a stadium with the Athletic, and a baseball playoff game was scheduled there Saturday night, 8:35 local time. The Chargers’ offense can be dynamic and Rivers is off to a good start, behind only Manning in passer rating. Oakland’s pass defense is decent, but must slow down TE Antonio Gates, who is back to top form.
Carolina (1-2) at Arizona (2-2) Coming off a 38-0 rout of the Giants, the Panthers believe they are ready for some steady success. A stumble here would set them back significantly. The key could be whether Arizona’s run defense, ranked second, can stop the No. 3
rushing game Carolina brings. The Panthers let QB Cam Newton run more against New York, and it worked brilliantly.
Philadelphia (1-3) at New York Giants (0-4) An Eagles win could lift them into a tie for first place in the avert-your-eyes NFC East if Dallas falls to Denver. Then again, if the Giants win, they’d be back in contention. Philly’s defense can’t seem to cover or tackle in the open field, but it likely will concentrate on rushing Eli Manning, who’s already been sacked 14 times. New York has only four sacks, and chasing down Michael Vick isn’t easy. Jacksonville (0-4) at St. Louis (1-3) Even with the Rams struggling — no running game, inconsistent defense — they are a big favorite over the Jaguars. Gus Bradley’s first stint as a head coach has been unrewarding so far in Jacksonville, where people are beginning to whisper the dreaded “0-16.”

But isn’t October Breast Cancer Awareness Month? ing the Red Cross at redcross.org, at the Centers for Disease Control at cdc.gov, and at OSHA’s site, osha.gov. As always, if something in my little column rings your chimes, please drill a little deeper for more information.
STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION
Gayle Landrum, development coordinator of the Red Cross, reminded me that October is Fire Safety Month. Really? I knew already that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and National Bullying Prevention Month, and National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Indeed, we have so many topics that must have public awareness that every month has multiple subjects. For these purposes, however, let’s focus on fire safety. Fire Safety Month has its roots in the Great Chicago Fire, which occurred on Oct. 9, 1871. Today, the U.S. Fire Administration reports that fires kill more than 4,000 Americans every year and injure approximately 20,000 more. U.S. fire departments

respond to nearly 2 million fires every year, and about three-quarters occurred in residences. In 2012, the Roswell Fire Department responded to 312 fires of various kinds, in addition to countless other calls. To date in 2013, the RFD has responded to 173 various fires. There are many checklists which address fire safety practices in our homes. You can find these in various websites includ-
GED exam to go exclusively online in January 2014
After nearly 70 years of traditional paper-and-pencil general equivalency diploma (GED) testing, the exam will go paperless in New Mexico, converting to online testing in January 2014. “With the online exam, there is greater flexibility in offering the test more times during the week,” said Elaine Espinosa-Sims, ENMU-Roswell’s director of Testing Services and chief GED examiner. “Currently, we offer the paper and pencil exam once a week on Tuesdays, but by going online test-takers can receive instant unofficial scores after they take the test. Those who finish the test early will no longer have to wait with a group to take the next test. In addition, the online GED gives test-takers the opportunity to type the essay instead of writing it by hand and allows test-takers to take the test more often.” Those now going through the GED program must finish up before 2014. Those who have not passed all five parts of the current tests will be required to start the new computer -based version of the test from the beginning in order to receive their high school diploma equivalent. This includes paying the fee again for the test. “If you or someone you know has started GED testing in the last 10 years and needs a reason to finish, have them call Testing Services at 624-7227,” said Espinosa-Sims. “We will work with GED candidates to get their tests completed before the December 2013 deadline based on scheduling and availability.” Through the ease of updating its format and content, the online exam is designed to more accurately measure a foundational core of knowledge and skills necessary for college and career readiness. The 2014 test will cost $24 per section, or $120 total. The 2014 GED will have four subjects instead of five by combining the English and writing subjects into one called “reasoning through language arts.” ENMU-Roswell has offered GED testing for more than 50 years. Last August, ENMU-Roswell was one of the first sites in New Mexico to fully convert to the GED online testing. Annually, more than 8,000 New Mexico students take the GED test with 67 percent qualifying for a diploma leading to better jobs or higher education. More than 18 million people have earned GEDs since testing began nationwide in 1942. For additional information concerning the GED or any other tests, contact Testing Services at 624-7227/7183/7258. Testing Services is located in the Instructional Center on campus at 58A University Blvd, second floor, suite 208.

It seems that the causes of fires at home fall into four broad basic categories: cooking, electrical, smoking and children playing with matches and lighters. Some of the risk of fire in the kitchen takes place because of bad habits. For example, if we are in the habit of placing potholders and dishtowels on the top of the stove when it is not being used, it’s very easy to absent-mindedly do that when it is being used. That’s a bad habit that could easily result in a house fire. Another important cookingrelated safety violation in the home occurs when you need an
essential ingredient to a recipe, and to get it, you need only to go next door or around the block to the Allsup’s Store. If you must leave the kitchen, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.
Electrical fires are another of the leading causes of home fire. Of course, older appliances with frayed cords, receptacles which are overloaded, and household wiring discrepancies may all cause fires. Another frequent culprit for residential fires is improperly cleaned clothes dryers and the lint that comes with them. These filters and ducts must be cleaned at least twice per year. It cannot be stressed enough that smoking in bed must never occur. In fact, you should not smoke when laying down anywhere. All it takes is nodding off for a few seconds to burn the house down. Even when you are
sure that you are wide awake, don’t do it. And related, I think, is the safe use of lighters and matches. When lighters and matches are left lying around and there are children in the house, those little hands will find them. Their little eyes have watched you and their brains have recorded how to light them. Children have a real fascination with fire and it’s really better if they never see how you made it burn.
There are many other aspects of fire safety, far too many to cover in one small column. We should all have smoke alarms (and Carbon Monoxide alarms as well), be careful with space heaters, and should inspect electrical and electronic equipment frequently. Most importantly, we must create a constant and vigilant awareness of fire safety within our families.

Federal boost for farms’ renewal energy in doubt

In this Sept. 6, photo provided by Austin Ridgley, workers erect some of the 90 solar panels at Timothy Ridgely's 2,700-acre southeastern Illinois farm in Parkersburg.
CHICAGO (AP) — Solar panels are cropping up alongside corn on Timothy Ridgely’s Illinois farm. Irrigation equipment powered by the sun is pumping away on Daniel Chin’s third-generation Oregon potato farm. And manure

La. coast readies for Tropical Storm Karen
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tropical Storm Karen continued its slow trudge Saturday toward the Louisiana Gulf Coast as a weakened system that still threatened to bring strong wind and heavy rain to vulnerable low-lying areas. Grand Isle, the barrier island town that hugs the coast roughly 60 miles south of New Orleans, remained under a mandatory evacuation order, amid worries that the only mainland road in and out might get swamped with water. “We’re going to have 35 to 45 mph winds probably starting by tomorrow morning,” Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle said Saturday evening. He was expecting a relatively quick end to the storm, with forecasters projecting it would be pushed eastward Sunday by an approaching cold front. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said forecasters had discontinued tropical stor m watches across much of the Gulf Coast, including metro New Orleans, but a portion of southeast Louisiana remained under a tropical storm warning. Karen stalled for several hours Saturday but began moving slowly northward at about 2 mph (4 kph) by the late afternoon. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph), making it a weak tropical storm. Karen’s center was likely to come ashore either Saturday night or Sunday morning. It was expected to weaken further and lose tropical-storm status on Sunday. The National Weather Service said storm surges

laying one off. Some were skeptical. “My wife thought I was crazy,” said Ridgely, who at age 70 recently installed 90 solar panels on the 2,700-acre southeastern Illinois far m where he grows corn, soybeans and wheat and his son raises beef cattle. Last year, he said, he cut his $5,500-ayear electric bill by about 40 percent when he installed a batch of panels. After installing more panels with help from the Agriculture Department’s Rural Energy for America Program, he figures he’ll be 100 percent self-sufficient. “It takes a lot of electricity to run the house and barns, and every little bit helps,” said Ridgely, who also touts the environmental benefits of solar power. But the program’s growing popularity could be its undoing. Some conservative groups have taken aim

He says his doesn’t organization oppose renewable energy, but believes the program amounts to a government subsidy. The program illustrates a conundrum in the increasingly shrill political debate over how, or whether, gover nment should offer aid to mold the economy. Few areas of the country are struggling more than rural America, where poverty is growing, small businesses are closing and
In Washington, though, the climate is hostile for any program without stout political backing and with opposition from other interests.
The House version of the farm bill limits the program’s funding to $45 million a year and designates it as “discretionary,” meaning the program might or might not get it. The Senate version would provide $68 million annually in mandatory funds with a possible $20 million a year in discretionary money.

WALKER AVIATION MUSEUM ROSWELL NEW MEXICO
VANESSA KAHIN VISAS EDITOR COURTESY PHOTOS Housing hundreds of historical artifacts that once formed part of Roswell’s rich aviation past, the Walker Aviation Museum potentially has the answer to all of your aviation questions — including the ones you did not know to ask. Created with the intent to keep the memories of Roswell’s Walker Air Force Base alive, the museum, which opened its doors Sept. 18, 2010, has grown to encompass all aspects of aviation. The museum’s humble location in a set of rooms at the Roswell International Airport may be ironically appropriate — it is, after all, inside an air terminal — or it may be woefully misleading. The museum remains tucked away from the public’s view, when the intent of the museum is to reach out to the community; educating, sharing and reuniting people with a common interest in aviation and the military. Foundation Director Don Armstrong said museum staff are available to give presentations about aviation history to the general public. He said a goal of the WAM Foundation is to acquire training simulators to be made available to anyone who has an interest in flying. In fact, the museum may spread its wings — no pun intended — and create a display all about Robert H. Goddard. Museum Curator Juliana Halvorson noted that Goddard’s contributions were instrumental to the entire U.S. space program; therefore, a display about him also would be appropriate in fulfilling the museum’s goal of educating the public about Roswell’s crucial link to aviation development. To be able to bring all these goals to fruition, for the first time since its inception, the WAMF is seeking members to join its cause. “We are in the throes of putting together a membership program,” Armstrong said. “We’re trying to get that launched by the end of this year.” There will be various membership levels, Armstrong said, and he assured that individual memberships would not exceed $35. The museum’s outreach activities — such as giving informative presentations in area schools and hosting reunions for those who were once stationed at the WAFB — will be the first to benefit from the memberships. Foundation Secretary Natalie Stewart-Smith said units that were once stationed at WAFB have annual reunions and have, in years past, returned to Roswell. Although reunions may have receptions at other major gathering centers — such as the Best Western Sally Port Inn & Suites — reunion-goers find an asset in the WAM and its staff. “When they have a reunion, we make them welcome,” Stewart-Smith said. Maintaining good relations with those who were once stationed in Roswell has a twofold effect. Military veterans enjoy coming to the museum and seeing artifacts that pertain to their years of service. Also, knowing of the existence of the WAM lets these veterans know that there is a safe place where they may donate their own aviation-related items. The WAFB was in operation from 1942-1967. The museum has artifacts that not only encompass that brief lifespan, but also any items associated with aviation. Halvorson said this includes yearbooks, pictures, uniforms, newspapers and World War II-era rifles, to name a few examples. The WAM collection also includes a signal lantern from the Enola Gay — the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. Part of World War II’s 509th Composite Group, the Enola Gay came to what was then known as the Roswell Army Air Field in late 1945. It was joined by Bockscar, another B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945. When the 509th Composite Group came to Roswell, it became the core of the base’s Strategic Air Command. “We were the largest Strategic Air Command base in the world during the Cold War,” Halvorson said. The museum’s current display, “Peace Through Strength,” centers on these crucial years for the WAFB, from Dec. 1, 1945 through Nov. 23, 1955. It was during this time that the WAFB played a pivotal role in maintaining worldwide peace. These years also saw the Roswell Army Air Field change its name to the Walker Air Force Base. Born in Los Cerrillos in 1898, Brig. Gen. Kenneth N. Walker was killed while leading an attack in Papua New Guinea. He posthumously received the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Walker AFB was renamed in his honor May 30, 1948. In keeping with its devotion to history, the museum is always accepting donations. The main requirement to donate, Halvorson said, is that donors must give some basic history of the artifact. “We would like to know (the donor’s) name, their contact information,” Halvorson said. “We would like to know the history of the item.” The Walker Aviation Museum is open from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information about the museum, call 347-2464. More information may also be accessed at wafbmuseum.org or at facebook.com/WalkerAviationMuseum. vistas@rdrnews.com
Too many activities can drain children C2 Sunday, October 6, 2013
Q: We’re only two months into the school year and already we’re drowning in extracurricular activities. How much is too much? Can you suggest any practical guidelines? Jim: I understand and share your concern. That’s because kids need lots of time, space and leisure to develop their creativity and imagination. Stress from excessive organized activity can be a deadly enemy of a happy and healthy childhood. While every family is different, I’d suggest that in general, elementary- and secondary school-age kids shouldn’t take on more than one extracurricular activity per school term. The definition of an “extracurricular activity” isn’t set in stone. In evaluating each commitment, it might be helpful to ask some basic questions about the time involved. How many evenings per week is your child spending away from home? If the number is too high, you might consider making

some cuts. If this seems like an impossible proposition, I’d challenge you to ask yourself some hard questions about the motives behind the busyness. Is it really about your child and his best interests? Or is the push to achieve driven by issues of your own? We’re all susceptible to negative motives such as parental pride, insecurity or desires to compensate for our own unrealized achievements. But if allowed to run rampant, they can end up seriously damaging your child’s self-image and the dynamics of your family interactions. On the positive side, I’d encour-
age you to strive for the correct balance for your family. A certain amount of “stretching” can be a good thing, but you must always consider each individual member’s unique needs and capabilities. There are some telltale signs that will let you know if your kids are being pushed beyond their limits — depression, for example, or irritability, emotional withdrawal and physical symptoms such as stomach pain. If you see any of these red flags, don’t delay in making the needed adjustments. Q: How can I get my husband to help more with the kids? He enjoys the “fun” part of raising kids — like “wrestling” with our toddler. But when it comes to the practical side of parenting, I don’t think he’s pulling his weight. Dr. Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Ministries: Speaking from personal experience, communication is usually the key here. Many couples never talk to each other about their parenting

expectations, or the fears and struggles they’re facing as parents. In most cases, both of them are doing the best they can, but are feeling insecure. The first step is to air these feelings in an honest, safe and non-threatening way. Gender roles and distinctions can also be a factor. Mothers tend to have an immediate connection with a new baby, while fathers sometimes feel uncomfortable and “out of their element.” When Dad tries to lend a hand, Mom may be inclined to correct everything he’s doing. This leads to greater irritation on both sides, and the husband may shrink from trying to help. Again, the solution is to discuss your feelings and expectations. If you’re home full-time with the kids while your husband is out in the workplace, talk about what practical aspects of this arrangement should look like. If you both work outside the home, it’s even more important
that you clearly understand what the other is thinking. Whatever your situation, it’s important that you learn how to function as a team. This is another area in which husbands and wives need to be patient with one another and give each other the benefit of the doubt.

Rick Riordan: ‘House of Hades’ is ‘very intense’ Roswell Daily Record
NEW YORK (AP) — Rick Riordan spent the past few months in hell, and liked it. The million-selling children’s author promises a “fair amount of drama” in “The House of Hades,” Book Four of his “Heroes of Olympus” series set for release next week. Disney Hyperion has announced a first printing of 2.5 million copies and the 600-page novel already is in the top 5 on Amazon.com. Book Three of the “Heroes” series, “The Mark of Athena,” ended with Percy and Annabeth plunging into the Underworld and the Romans set to attack Camp Half-Blood. Riordan promises the adventures down under in the new book will be “very
intense,” even for a storyteller unbounded by human possibility. “Some conflicts from the previous book will be resolved,” he said during a recent telephone interview. “But I don’t think Percy and Annabeth have gone through anything as serious as what they’re going to face now.” Some of his research was first-hand. A few years ago, he and his family cruised the Mediterranean as part of a Disney promotion for the end of his “Percy Jackson” series. Many of the tour destinations end up in “House of Hades” and the other Heroes books. But other locations exist only in myth, like Tartarus, a pit of torment deep deep in the Underworld.
“There are conflicting images of Tartarus in literature,” Riordan says. “So I had to draw on my own imagination and make the scenes there as difficult and challenging as I could.” He is among the most popular and busiest writers, best known for his Percy Jackson books, featuring a dyslexic 12-yearold not unlike Riordan himself at that age. He has also completed a trilogy based on Egyptian myths, “The Kane Chronicles,” and has begun a series drawing upon Norse literature that will likely debut in 2015. Riordan, 49, has been widely praised by parents and educators for getting kids interested in ancient mythology and he has a
Sunday, October 6, 2013
special project planned for next summer. A for mer middle school teacher, he has long been dissatisfied with the anthologies of Greek myths he saw in libraries and classrooms. So he decided to write one himself and let his most famous character do the talking. “I could never find an anthology that worked for kids, so I went back to Ovid and Hesiod and Homer and cast all the stories from snarky Percy Jackson’s point of view,” says Riordan, whose tentative title for the book is “Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods.” Disney Hyperion, an imprint of Disney Publishing Worldwide, has scheduled the book for next August.
“Hobbit” trilogy costs $561M so far AP Photo
This publicity file photo provided by Warner Bros., shows the character Gollum, voiced by Andy Serkis, in a scene from the fantasy adventure "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Making the movie trilogy “The Hobbit” has cost more than half a billion dollars so far, double the amount spent on the three movies in the “The Lord of the Rings” series. That figure includes the major 266 days of filming with actors that was completed last year, although it doesn’t include an additional two months or so of “pick-up” shoots done this year. There will likely also be additional postproduction costs as the next two movies are completed. Through March 31, production had
cost 676 million New Zealand dollars, or $561 million at current exchange rates, according to financial documents filed Friday in New Zealand, where the movies are being made. Distributor Warner Bros. and director Peter Jackson may consider it money well spent. To date, only the first movie in the latest trilogy has been released. “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” took in just over $1 billion at the box office. The documents, filed online by New Zealand’s Companies Office, provide a rare insight into the exact costs of a
blockbuster Hollywood production. Often studios release only rough estimates, if anything. When making the trilogy, Warner Bros. created a wholly-owned New Zealand company it named “3 Foot 7 Ltd,” in reference to the diminutive stature of the movie’s hobbits and dwarves. Company documents show that New Zealand taxpayers have so far contributed NZ$98 million to the trilogy through an incentive scheme designed to attract big budget movies to the country. Such schemes are common among U.S. states and foreign countries that compete for movies. The trilogy also appears to be one of the most expensive movie productions in which two or more movies are shot at the same time. Both Box Office Mojo and Guinness World Records estimate the most expensive single movie ever made was “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” with an estimated $300 million production tag. That movie, in conjunction with “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” — which was shot at the same time — held the previous record for the most expensive total production, costing an estimated $450 million to $525 million.

C4 Sunday, October 6, 2013 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
DEAR ABBY: My son and his wife, “Carole,” have been married for two years. I was recently introduced to her father, “Ted,” who has been alone for 13 years. Carole told me later in no uncertain terms that I cannot have a romantic relationship with her father. Then she repeated the same thing to him. Do you think it’s right for adult children to dictate to their parents who they can and cannot see? Ted and I are perplexed. We really like each other and would like to see where this relationship could go. We laugh easily together, cook in the kitchen well together, can talk
for hours and generally are very compatible. We have both discussed our pasts and have been honest with each other. What’s your opinion? DESERVES TO BE HAPPY IN FLORIDA
DEAR DESERVES: Before the relationship goes further, you and Ted should step back and ask yourselves what might happen if this romance doesn’t work out. Would the hurt feelings disrupt the family dynamic? If this can be handled thoughtfully, with grace and maturity, I agree that you deserve to be happy. While adult offspring may try to dictate what their parents can and cannot do, as mature adults, you do not have to blindly accept it. ##### DEAR ABBY: I have been friends with “Kurt” for many years. We met during Little League, and as we got older we stood up in each other’s wedding. He was my best man. Kurt’s marriage is in trouble because he has a gambling prob-

lem. I feel guilty because I never said anything to him about it when we were together at the casino and he was spending more money than he could afford. I was with him only a handful of times, but I still think I should have spoken up. Should I have? Or wouldn’t it have mattered if I did? Kurt is going to Gamblers Anonymous meetings now, trying to save his marriage. GUILTY IN WISCONSIN DEAR GUILTY: You could have said something to your friend, but the question is, would Kurt have listened and accepted what you were trying to convey? People who have addictions are usually in denial until they have no other choice but to face it. Your feeling guilty won’t help this situation. Being supportive of your longtime friend and making sure that when you’re together there is no wagering happening (i.e., on sporting events) would be helpful. The rest is up to him. ##### DEAR ABBY: I recently ended a two-year rela-
tionship with my boyfriend. We are both 20. He was a great boyfriend — always patient, kind, gentle and loving. However, I was often impatient, short-tempered and controlling. These issues were my personal problems. I always tried to work on them, but although it got better, I knew I wasn’t treating him the way I should. I ended things with him because I felt guilty.

It has been a month now, and I’m having second thoughts about having ended it with an almost-perfect person. I miss him. Would it be unwise to reach out to him again? BROKEN UP BUT NOT OVER IT
DEAR NOT OVER IT:
Not necessarily. But before you do, allow yourself a period of introspection during which you focus less on your missing him and concentrate on why you were abusive to him. A man with his qualities deserves to be treated with more respect than you showed him. The truism, “If you don’t value what you’ve got, you will lose it,” applies to relationships.

There is an easy way to find out if there is a nick that is causing these spots. Place an old pair of pantyhose over your hand and gently run your hand along the inside of the dryer. If you feel the pantyhose snag or catch on something, you have a nick. Most paint stores carry touch-up enamel that you can use to cover the area.

US housing rebound likely to handle spike in rates Roswell Daily Record
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When mortgage rates began climbing in May from rockbottom lows, Kevin Williams worried he might miss out on an opportunity. So he listed his home in Orange County, Calif., and planned to buy a bigger house in San Diego after it sold. The process took all summer. Last week, he and his wife locked in a mortgage. The extra time added at least $1,000 more a year than if they had secured a loan in May. Still, Williams believes they made a prudent decision. “I don’t know what rates are going to be in four years,” he said. “I felt I had to act now before I was priced out.” Williams’ justification — buy now or risk paying more later — is why many brokers and analysts remain confident that the housing recovery can handle higher mortgage rates. While the jump in rates should test the strength of the recovery, analysts foresee stable sales increases over the next year for a number of reasons. Fall is typically a sleepy time for sales and signed contracts have already started to decline nationally. Yet several brokers say buyer traf fic remains strong in key markets like Los Angeles, the Washington metro area, Silicon Valley and Boston. Home prices have been rising at the fastest pace since 2006, helping Americans regain wealth they lost during the housing crisis. Many would-be sellers have been waiting out the downturn and could put
their houses on the market in the next year. That should ease supply constraints, one of the biggest obstacles for sales over the past year. Financing a home is still more af fordable than in decades past. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage remains a bargain at below 5 percent, and many buyers sense it won’t stay that low for long. There’s also pent-up demand. A growing number of people are moving out from group homes or with relatives to form their own households, according to U.S. Census data. Sales typically increase when households grow. “It’s the demographics that make a strong housing recovery pretty much a sure thing,” said Patrick Newport, a housing economist at HIS Global Insight. Newport expects sales will rise 10 percent this year to 5.14 million. After that, he predicts an 8 percent gain next year to roughly 5.55 million and a 4.5 percent rise in 2015 to 5.8 million. All are relatively healthy levels. The last time sales exceeded 5 million was in 2007, when the housing bubble burst. From 2008 through 2012, sales averaged 4.3 million a year. The average rate on a 30year fixed loan this week was 4.22 percent, according to Freddie Mac. That’s above the average of 3.35 percent reached in May. But it’s far below the average rate of 7 percent since according to 1985, Bankrate.com data. Rates tend to rise when the economy is strengthening. More jobs and better
pay would likely boost home sales. Still, the increase in rates has added thousands of dollars to the cost of financing a home. That’s happened at a time when wages have barely kept pace with inflation and unemployment is a stillhigh 7.3 percent. And there’s some concern that the government shutdown could delay the processing of some home loans, particularly those backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Buyers who could get loans in June and July moved swiftly to lock in the lower rates. Completed sales of previously occupied homes rose in August to a six-year high, according to the National Association of Realtors. But fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in August. It typically takes a month or two for buyers to close on a house after locking in rates and signing a contract. Some analysts predict sales are cooling off this fall. “I am concerned because prices are rising and higher rates squeeze your limits,” said Brian Guzman, a broker at Coldwell Banker in Chicago who mostly caters to first-time buyers. Many buyers are carefully watching the change in mortgage rates. Jeff Tyni and his wife are still shopping for a home in Orange County, Calif., and would like to buy soon. But if rates go much higher, they may continue renting. “I would say 5 percent is the tipping point,” Tyni said. “If I have to pay over 5 percent, I’ll just wait.” The Federal Reserve is
also paying close attention to the spike in mortgage rates. It was a big reason the Fed opted last month not to slow its $85-billiona-month in bond purchases, which are intended to keep longer-term interest rates low. Rates began to increase in May after Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled the Fed might reduce those purchases, if the economy strengthened. But the Fed held off last month, and since then mortgage rates have fallen for three straight weeks. Even small fluctuations in rates can translate into added costs or savings. In the case of the Williamses, it was a little of both. The couple will close this month on a four-bedroom home. They secured a $607,000 mortgage in late September at 4.125 percent, a quarter-percentage point higher than what they were quoted in late May. That’s $88 more a month, or $31,504 over 30 years. Kevin Williams says it could have been worse. In early September, he was quoted a rate of 4.375 percent, which would have added another $89 each month. Still, they are buying in San Diego, one of the nation’s priciest real estate markets. The added financing costs convinced the couple to buy a smaller house. “Essentially, we ended up giving up an extra bedroom,” said Williams. Home sales typically drop off in the fall because many buyers want their children enrolled in school when they move. Yet some bro-

kers are still seeing steady demand. Completed home sales at Century 21 Redwood Realty in Ashburn, Va. — about 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C. — are up 65 percent from a year ago, said Edward Berenbaum,
co-owner of the brokerage. And attendance at open houses remains high. “If you have a desirable listing that is priced where the market is, you’re not going to be on the market for too many weekends,” Berenbaum said.

Disease found in second Mont. cattle herd Hobby Lobby to carry Jewish holiday items BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A second case of the livestock disease brucellosis in just over a week has turned up in a Montana cattle herd, coinciding with new restrictions on animals exported to Texas because of worries that infections could spr ead beyond the region. Friday test results from a federal animal health laboratory confirmed the latest infection in a bull that came from a herd of about 550 cattle in southern Montana’s Park County, state veterinarian Marty Zaluski said. Another case was confir med in a Madison County cow Sept. 26, and the disease has since been found in two more animals from that 1,100head herd. Brucellosis can cause pregnant cattle to prematurely abort their young. It’s been largely eradicated in the U.S. but persists in wildlife from the Yellowstone r egion of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Since 2007, when Montana suf fer ed its first livestock infection since 1985, 19 cows and 14 domestic bison in the state have tested positive for brucellosis. Zaluski says that low number demonstrates the state’s costly ef forts to limit
transmissions through more aggressive testing are working. But the latest back-toback infections illustrate that brucellosis remains an active pr oblem for ranchers in the Yellowstone area. And livestock of ficials elsewhere are paying attention: On Monday, a new rule goes into effect in Texas that restricts the movements of cattle imported from the Yellowstone ar ea until they can be re-tested for the disease. Zaluski said the rule was unnecessary and will dampen cattle sales. Texas State Veterinarian Dee Ellis said Texas is simply trying to protect itself from a disease that plagued the state’s livestock industry for decades befor e it was eliminated. “You’ve got a wildlife reservoir (for brucellosis) that’s a moving target and we weren’t comfortable with just one negative test” for cattle being exported from the Yellowstone region, Ellis said. “We’r e just saying we want to test these animals sometime after they get here.” About 20,000 cattle annually are shipped to T exas fr om Montana, Idaho, and W yoming, although it’s uncertain how many come from the
Yellowstone region itself, Ellis said. The last time Montana had two brucellosis infections within a short period, in 2007 and 2008, it triggered federal sanctions that hampered livestock exports and harmed the reputation of the state’s billion-dollar cattle industry. Those rules have since been eased, but individual states have authority to impose their own restrictions. Ellis said the T exas Animal Health Commission would pay for the additional tests that will be done on animals imported from the Yellowstone ar ea. And he promised flexibility in the movement restrictions on the animals, which he said were not meant to be as severe as quarantine for a diseased animal. But few producers will want to put up with the added hassle, Zaluski said. He claimed Texas’s rule was unwarranted given the additional testing put in place after Montana temporarily lost its brucellosis-fr ee status in 2008. He also war ned that the rule could set a precedent for other states because it discr edits ef forts by Montana ranchers and animal
health authorities to ef fectively manage the disease.
With frequent testing, cattle pr oducers can catch the disease soon after it’s transmitted to cattle from wildlife such as elk, which protects against infections spreading unchecked within livestock herds, Zaluski said.
All of the animals infected in the two most recent cases had received brucellosis vaccinations. While the vaccinations don’t protect animals from initial exposure, they can prevent miscarriages that serve to spread brucellosis when other animals come into contact with an aborted fetus. “We’ve succeeded in limiting transmissions with a herd, but unfortunately you aren’t able to entirely prevent infections,” Zaluski said.
The infected bull from Park County was killed Sept. 23 so tissue samples could be taken after a positive field test. Testing on animals from herds adjacent to the ranches with infections are continuing in both Madison and Park counties.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. will carry Jewish merchandise in some stores after a New Jersey blogger complained about a lack of Hanukkah items, the company’s president said Friday. Steve Green told The Associated Press that the Oklahoma City-based chain is looking at carrying items this holiday season in stores near areas with large Jewish populations. He could not yet say what the items will be, but he said they should be in stores by November. The company said the items will be sold in stores in New York and New Jersey. “We do not have any problems selling items that celebrate Jewish holidays,” Green said. “We have in the past and have decided we would try it again in some of the markets where we have Jewish population.” The change came about after Ken Berwitz wrote a scathing blog post about how he would never visit a Hobby Lobby store after an employee told him the chain doesn’t stock Jewish merchandise because the Green family is Christian. The post was not meant to start a fight, Berwitz said, but was a way for him to express his anger. Green called Berwitz on Friday and the two talked for about 15 minutes. Berwitz called the conversation “pleasant” and said the situation should be “diffused.” “I’m very pleased that he was as forthcoming,” said Berwitz, a focus group moderator. Founded in 1972, Hobby Lobby has more than 500 stores in 41 states. The chain has made no secret of the Green family’s religious views. Hobby Lobby calls itself a “biblically founded business” and its stores are closed on Sundays. It’s also challenging on religious grounds a federal regulation that requires it to offer health coverage that includes access to certain contraceptives, such as the morning-after pill. Others in the Jewish community have raised concerns before about Hobby Lobby not carrying Hanukkah items, but such a practice does not violate anyone’s right, The Anti-Defamation League said in a statement. “We have no reason to believe that Hobby Lobby has refused to stock Hanukkah items because of hostility to Jews or anti-Semitism,” the statement said. “In fact, some Hobby Lobby stores have stocked a few Hanukkah items in the past, and the chain is apparently considering stocking more Jewish merchandise in the future as they expand into more culturally diverse markets.”
Camouflage shows its fashion versatility C6 Sunday, October 6, 2013

NEW YORK (AP) — There is no hiding from camouflage. The print that at one time was only a tool for military troops to go unnoticed has become a front-and-

center look in fashion. It’s been adapted in luxe fur, sequin sweaters, athletic wear and casual kicks. It’s for girls and boys, women and men. “The irony is that camo is anything but camouflaged right now,” says Zanna Roberts Rassi, Marie Claire’s senior fashion editor. She points to recent examples where the runway has led to the trenches, including the oversized version on Michael Kors’ fur jackets, on Christopher Kane cocktail dresses and Valentino shoes. “It comes from the military, but it’s being made now for a night on the town,” she says. Some versions have maintained more utilitarian roots, including vests and parkas at J. Crew and jeggings at Aeropostale. For spring, North Face has camo-inspired workout gear. “Camo is peaking,”
according to Emilia Fabricant, Aeropostale’s executive vice president of design, merchandising and production. “It’s hitting everything, from sweaters to outerwear. It’s so graphic. It’s edgy but it’s also completely neutral.” That’s the beauty of it: it dresses up, it dresses down. It is as urban or as country as you want to make it. “Think of it as the nonprint print,” says Heather Archibald, director of merchandising at online retailer Piperlime. “It’s like the paisley of a million years ago. ... It has found a way into our wardrobe as a staple.” It’s evolved into something like the cheetah print that was, at one time, considered edgy and a little risque but is now offered in everything from sweet ballet flats to toddler clothes. Camo retains its cool, though, especially when it’s

wor n with a wink, says Tom Mora, head women’s designer at J. Crew. It’s wearing the print in a feminine fabric — a georgette blouse, perhaps — or something like a parka over slim cargo pants and a lacy tank top or high heels, he says. “I like the sexy take on the classic hunter look.” Mora says he also likes the irony when camo is worn in a slick urban way. He likes to see it mostly in neutrals — maybe a version in makeup colors such as blush and beige — with a pop of navy or yellow. Orange looks good, too, but is maybe a bit cliche. Adding the flash of color, or the glitzy necklace, or the pencil skirt keeps camo from being too serious. Try a motorcycle boot or a “fierce” ankle-strap shoe, suggests Archibald, and accessories in metallic or camel will elevate the look and make it seem more ladylike.
Her other tip is a polished beauty look. “Paint your nails, put on your lipstick. You want an amazing look, not be sloppy.” For the guys, it’s about the camo sneaker with dark denim, or a jacket or hoodie over more tailored trousers. Not many prints — a plaid could be the exception — move so seamlessly men’s and between women’s clothes. Either way, camouflage evokes a lived-in look, so don’t be fussy or too polished, advises Fabricant. Even young children can wear it, but while adults and teens can do the muted, more realistic palettes, kids should do almost a cartoon-color version, suggests Roberts Rassi, also a style consultant for Boden. It should be a clear message that it’s about a great graphic, nothing more serious. And, she adds, it should not be worn head-to-toe —

and that goes for everyone. The good news, though, is that those single pieces will have a long shelf life. “This isn’t a trend for a single season. It 100 percent transcends time.”
Marshmallow spread to take you back. And forward As sandwiches go, the Fluffernutter never really did much for me as a kid. I love peanut butter in so many ways, but it always seemed to taint the billowy, sticky sweet wonderfulness of the Fluff. So I was more prone to eating Fluff the way it was intended to be consumed — by the spoonful. Directly from the container. Ideally while standing. If you prefer to sit,
Nutella recipe
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup (or honey). Stir gently to combine. Insert a candy thermometer and heat, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240 F. Meanwhile, when the sugar syrup begins to form large bubbles, and the thermometer reads about 225 F to 230 F, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat the whites to soft peaks. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes. By the time the whites are whipped, the sugar syrup should be at 240 F. Remove from the heat and with the mixer running, carefully pour the syrup in a thin, steady stream into the whites. The whites will deflate slightly at first, but as the sugar syrup becomes incorporated, they will thicken, turn white and begin to fluff up. Continue to whip the mixture for 7 to 8 minutes, or until very thick and glossy. Add the vanilla and whip for another minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer, then fold in the Nutella until mixed, but not blended. Transfer to an airtight container. The spread can be stored at room temperature for 2 weeks.

I’ll try not to think less of you. As I’ve aged, my tastes have matured. I’ve acknowledged that marshmallow spread can be enjoyed between slices of bread, though I still don’t care to sully it with peanut butter. And for the most intense experience, I prefer to make my own Flufflike spread. Still, minus the peanut butter this really
does dissolve into a gussied up sugar sandwich. So to lessen the guilt, I doctor it with chocolate-hazelnut spread. Because surely there is some protein in there, right? Even thus doctored, there’s still nothing wrong with eating it by the spoonful. While standing. ——— DIY NUTELLA-MARSHMALLOW SPREAD

Shutdown ruins vacations, hurts local economies FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Stop at a cafe in the remote stretches of northern Arizona and southern Utah in the fall, and you’re likely to hear a mix of languages as tourists from around the world step into the iconic wester n landscape, marked by breathtaking canyons and massive rock formations. Millions of visitors tour the region each year for what can be once-in-a-lifetime vacations. Those visitors didn’t stop with the gover nment shutdown, which forced officials to close down roads, campgrounds and tourist centers at national parks dotting the landscape. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has offered to use state money to keep the Grand Canyon open, and several businesses made similar pledges — all of which have been politely rejected by the national park. The impact isn’t just ruining vacations. It also has brought local economies to a near standstill. THUMBS DOWN Outside Yellowstone’s north entrance, two men on a bus with Indian and Chinese passengers frown and give the thumbs down sign after seeing the park is shut down. A family of Japanese tourists leaves the Grand Canyon in tears. An English couple and a Belgium couple touring national parks out West settles for a drive around Yosemite without being able to put their feet on the ground. “Looks as though both sides are having a bit of a childish tantrum,” says Englishman Neil Stanton. Songyi Cho, on a separate trip to Yosemite, says: “This is crazy. How can a whole government shut down?” While some inter national tourists kept tabs on American politics in the days before they ventured to national parks, others were blindsided. Alan Platt and his wife, Leana, first heard about a possible shutdown while at the Grand Canyon on Monday. Platt guessed that lawmakers would be pushed to the brink but pass a budget by the deadline. He was wrong, and the couple was forced to cut their three-day Grand Canyon stay short. “For the rest of the world, we’re concerned about the fact you have partisan positioning

going on,” he says. “No matter who’s in power, there’s a national pride in engagement we saw. Suddenly, we see a great divide.” ICONS FROM A DISTANCE Some of the country’s most recognizable icons can be viewed from a distance — the full faces of Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, the granite formations in Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and Mount Rainier. No one needs to tell tourists that it’s not the same as camping on the beaches of the Grand Canyon off the Colorado River, walking the slot canyons at Zion or watching water spew at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. “There’s no question it’s disappointing,” says Bruce Brossman of the Grand Canyon Railway, which has furloughed conductors and engineers who run trains into the canyon. “You can get a sneak peak and maybe get inspired to come back.”
Retur ning to the national parks might be easier said than done, particularly for international tourists who often plan expensive and lengthy vacations. SALVAGING TRIPS Jock Holland, of Melbourne, Australia, is among those forced to make alternate plans. He was heading to Grand Teton from Yellowstone when he was stopped by the park closure. He planned to chart a new course after grabbing a bite to eat in Jackson, Wyo. The Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau outside the national park helped Stanton and his wife, Clare, set up horseback rides and hikes outside. He says Yosemite has “been somewhat on our bucket list for years, and you get here and you can’t get to it. A bit frustrating but we still made the most of it.” Julie Jaeger and her friend are leaving California on Friday for
what would have been a trip to Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, Canyonlands and Mesa Verde national parks. They’ve renamed their vacation the “magical mystery tour,” as they search for state parks and interesting towns to visit along the way. They still hope the federal government resumes operations and they can salvage part of their original itinerary. BUSINESSES TAKE HIT Rafting outfitters, fishing guides, Jeep companies, hotels and restaurants are hurting without the 715,000 people who spend about $76 million a day visiting the national park system. About 90 percent of the business at Phoenix-based Across Arizona Tours is for the Grand Canyon, says company cofounder Leonardo Gem. “It’s like closing Macy’s the
day after Thanksgiving,” he says. At Lees Ferry Anglers, which runs fishing trips in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in norther n Arizona, employees are busy calling customers to cancel trips scheduled this week. “It is devastating,” says employee Kaila Bruner. “You can’t really function normally. We just have to depend on the lodging and the through traffic to stay open.” Greg Bryan, mayor of the tiny town of Tusayan outside the Grand Canyon entrance, manages a hotel in town and says he is downsizing staff as fewer and fewer people come through. The town should be bustling with tourists sharing pictures of sunsets over the South Rim, of mule rides down the park’s trails and massive expanses of geology. It looks more like a ghost town these days.
Oahu hotel occupancy back at ’05 level, others lag HONOLULU (AP) — Hotel occupancy on Oahu is back to levels seen at the peak of Hawaii’s tourism industry in 2005, while Maui, Kauai and the Big Island still haven’t fully recovered from the Great Recession, according to a new analysis. An analysis by Hospitality Advisors LLC says hotel
occupancy on Oahu was 85 percent during the first eight months of 2013, the same level seen in 2005 and well up from a low of 72 percent in 2009. The Honolulu-based hospitality consulting fir m says occupancy was 78 percent statewide from January through August, including 75 percent on
Maui, 63 percent on the Big Island and 71 percent on Kauai. While occupancy has returned to peak levels on Oahu, the rate is 5 percentage points behind 2005 levels on Maui and Kauai, and 9 percentage points behind on the Big Island. Hotels are generally more crowded on Oahu than on
other islands because of the volume of tourists and flights. Oahu includes the state’s most popular tourist area in Waikiki, while many flights to neighbor islands from the mainland U.S. and international markets require a stop in Honolulu. Analysts say occupancy is expected to grow 2.7 percentage points statewide in
2014, to 81.1 percent. At the same time, average daily room rates are expected to go up 8.1 percent to $249 per night in 2014. Hospitality Advisors says one night in an average hotel room in 2014 will cost $233 on Oahu, $295 on Maui, $242 on Kauai and $231 on the Big Island. The analysis says Hawaii
tourism recovered quickly in 2013 because of pent-up demand from domestic markets and expanding international flights, but that pent-up demand “has run its course.” The firm says it expects a strong first quarter in 2014, but concer ns are growing about the market softening after that.
