Committee to discuss convention bill MATTHEW ARCO RECORD STAFF WRITER
MIDWEST GETS MORE SNOW, ICE
February 22, 2011
Legislation being sponsored by a local lawmaker that would allow for the expansion of the Roswell Convention and Civic Center by way of lodger’s tax dollars, is slated to be discussed during a House committee today. Rep. Dennis Kintigh’s, R-Roswell, HB433 is on the House Health and Government Affairs Committee’s agenda. The bill would permit Roswell and other areas of the state to use lodger’s tax funds to make improvements to its convention center, by expanding the scope of the Convention Center Financing Act to all municipalities. Currently, there are restrictions placed on the

size of a municipality. The act describes a qualified municipality as an area with a population of more than 70,000 and less than 100,000 people. The proposal has the support of local officials, who say the current system gives larger cities a monopoly on attracting people and events to select convention centers. “It’s more of an equality value than anything else,” said city Councilor Jason Perry, chairman of the city’s Building and Lands Committee. “If we’re ever going to compete with those other cities that hold those functions, we need to be held equally.” Perry says certain events are prevented from coming to Roswell because the current facility is not able to house 1,500 for an event.
“We have a plan in the making,” he said, referring to ways to expand the facility. “We have preliminary drawings of what we would like to see at the convention center.” Kintigh’s proposal would simply give municipalities the option to expand, it wouldn’t mandate any tax increases. “It gives the community the option to make the decision on whether or not they want to do this,” Kintigh said. “I’m hopeful (it will pass), but there’s no way of knowing until we get to it.” The committee meeting is slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. Voters can listen to the proceeddings live on the Legislature’s website, www.nmlegis.gov /lcs/.

A Roswell lawmaker cast the single dissenting vote on a bill that seeks to provide northern counties with a third District Court judge, on the floor of the state House of Representatives on Monday. Rep. Dennis Kintigh, RRoswell, says he felt compelled to vote against HB188 that will appropriate more than $420,000 in FY 2012 to add another judge in the state’s Eighth Judicial District, covering Taos, Union and Colfax counties. The appropriation will be used for salaries and benefits, as well as furniture, supplies and equipment for an additional judge and support staff, according to the bill’s fiscal impact See NO, Page A3

A local lawmaker’s legislation that would make joining a labor union in the state of New Mexico optional, was recently stalled in a House committee. Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell’s, R-Roswell, HB331 was tabled in the House Labor and Human Resources Committee last week. The bill would enact a Right to Work Act and provide that membership in a labor organization not be required as a condition of employment. The proposal was defeated by a 5-4 vote on party lines. “It wasn’t the unions themselves, it was people who worked for certain unions,” said Ezzell, referring to the individuals who spoke out against the proposal during the committee meeting. “It was not to do away with labor unions at all,” she said. “It was to give a person the ability to join or not join.” The lawmaker says the state’s decision to table the item puts New Mexico at a disadvantage. “All the states that surround us are a right to work state and it is keeping businesses from locating in the state of New Mexico,” she said. “We have to get jobs here and that’s the only way that we’re going to get companies to move into the state.”

Presidents Day dates back to founding father and first president, George Washington. The date his birth was supposed to be celebrated has never been uniform. According to the Julian or old-style calendar in effect in England and the colonies until 1752, Washington’s birth date was Feb. 11. When the new-style, or Gregorian, calendar came into use the date changed, and George Washington’s birth date fell on Feb. 22, 1732, because the new calendar added 11 days to the old calendar to align it with the astronomical year. Therefore, in the 1790s, when Washington was still alive, some Americans celebrated his birthday on Feb. 11 and some on Feb. 22. The state of Virginia has long celebrated Washington’s Birthday. The George Washington Birthday Celebration Com-
mittee is one of the very oldest community organizations in Alexandria. From the time of the Revolutionary War, the citizens of Virgina have held an annual Birthnight Ball. Americans in other areas of the country didn't observe this holiday until 1832 — 100 years after his birth. In 1880 when an Act of Congress declared Washington’s Birthday observances for government offices in the District of Columbia. This was expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices. Washington’s Birthday was the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen. Abraham Lincoln was the next president to gain reverence similar to Washington. Born on Feb. 12, 1809, Lincoln's Birthday was first celebrated in 1865, the year he was assassinated. Although his birthday was not a federal holiday like Washington's, many states adopted it as a legal holiday. See HISTORY, Page A3
Gadhafi goes on Libyan television amid wave of protests
CAIRO (AP) — Deep rifts opened in Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, with Libyan government officials at home and abroad resigning, air force pilots defecting and a bloody crackdown on protest in the capital of Tripoli, where cars and buildings were burned. Gadhafi went on state TV early Tuesday to attempt to show he was still in charge. World leaders expressed outrage Monday at the “vicious forms of repression” used against the demonstrators. The longest serving Arab leader appeared briefly on TV to dispel rumors that he had fled. Sitting in a car in front of what appeared to be his residence and holding an umbrella out of the passenger side door, he told an interviewer that he had wanted to go to the capital’s Green Square to talk to his supporters, but the rain stopped him. “I am here to show that I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela. Don’t believe those misleading dog stations,” Gadhafi said, referring to the media reports that he had left the
country. The video clip and comments lasted less than a minute — unusual for the mercurial leader, who is known for rambling speeches that often last hours. Pro-Gadhafi militia drove through Tripoli with loudspeakers and told people not to leave their homes, witnesses said, as security forces sought to keep the unrest that swept eastern parts of the country — leaving the second-largest city of Benghazi in protesters’ control — from overwhelming the capital of 2 million people. State TV said the military had “stormed the hideouts of saboteurs” and urged the public to back security forces. Protesters called for a demonstration in Tripoli’s central Green Square and in front of Gadhafi’s residence, but witnesses in various neighborhoods described a scene of intimidation: helicopters hovering above the main seaside boulevard and pro-Gadhafi gunmen firing from moving cars and even See PROTESTS, Page A3

More snow, ice for Midwest
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A major snowstor m dealt another winter wallop to Wisconsin, Michigan and northern Ohio on Monday as it moved east out of Minnesota leaving more than a foot of fresh snow in its wake. Operations were returning to normal at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after the storm prompted Delta Airlines to cancel hundreds of flights Sunday, although hourlong delays were reported. Airport spokeswoman Melissa Scovronski said about 60 departures and 100 arrivals were canceled early Monday, but she said she didn’t expect more because the weather was clearing. The National Weather Service reported the storm dropped 12.5 inches of snow at the airport by Monday afternoon. The southern Minneapolis suburbs had even more snow, with Eden Prairie hitting 17 inches and Bloomington a close second at 16 inches, but the highest state total was 19 inches in Madison in far wester n Minnesota.

Arrested US official is CIA contractor
WASHINGTON (AP) — An American jailed in Pakistan for the fatal shooting of two ar med men was secretly working for the CIA and scouting a neighborhood when he was arrested, a disclosure likely to further frustrate U.S. government efforts to free the man and strain relations between two countries partnered in a fragile alliance in the war on terror. Raymond Allen Davis, 36, had been working as a CIA security contractor and living in a Lahore safe house, according to former and current U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to talk publicly about the incident. Davis, a former Special Forces soldier who left the military in 2003, shot the men in what he described as an attempted ar med robbery in the eastern city of Lahore as they approached him on a motorcycle. A third Pakistani, a bystander, died when a car rushing to help Davis struck him. Davis was carrying a Glock handgun, a pocket telescope and papers with different identifications. Meanwhile, the Obama administration insisted anew Monday that Davis had diplomatic immunity and must be set free. In a hastily arranged conference call with reporters shortly after details of Davis’ employment were reported, senior State Department officials repeated the administration’s stance that he is an accredited member of the technical and administrative staf f of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. They said the Pakistani gover nment had been informed of his status in January 2010 and that Pakistan is violating its international obligations by continuing to hold him. The officials would not comment on Davis’ employment but said it was irrelevant to the case because Pakistan had not rejected his status. The of ficials spoke only on grounds of anonymity because of the

In this Feb. 11 file photo, supporters of Pakistani religious party Jamat-e-Islami chant slogans during a rally against Raymond Allen Davis, a U.S. consulate employee suspected in a shooting, in Peshawar, Pakistan. The Associated Press has learned that an American jailed in Pakistan after the fatal shooting of two armed men was secretly working for the CIA.
sensitivity of the situation. The revelation that Davis was an employee of the CIA comes amid a tumultuous dispute over whether he is immune from criminal prosecution under international rules enacted to protect diplomats overseas. New protests in Pakistan erupted after The Guardian newspaper in London decided to publish details about Davis’ relationship with the CIA. The U.S. had repeatedly asserted that Davis had diplomatic immunity and should have been released immediately. The State Department claimed Davis was “entitled to full criminal immunity in accordance with the Vienna Convention” and was a member of the “technical and administrative staff” at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. The Associated Press learned about Davis working for the CIA last month, immediately after the shootings, but withheld publication of the information because it could endanger his life while he was jailed overseas, with at least some protesters there calling for his execution as
a spy. The AP had intended to report Davis’ CIA employment after he was out of harm’s way, but the story was broken Sunday by The Guardian. The CIA asked the AP and several other U.S. media outlets to hold their stories as the U.S. tried to improve Davis’ security situation. A U.S. official says Davis is being held at a jail on the outskirts of Lahore where there are serious doubts about whether the Pakistanis can truly protect him. The official says the Pakistanis have expressed similar concerns to the U.S. A senior Pakistani intelligence official said the government had taken measures to ensure the safety of Davis, stepping up security at the facility, removing certain inmates from the prison and sending a contingent of well-trained
paramilitaries known as the Rangers. The State Department said the Pakistani government was infor med that Davis was a diplomat and entitled to immunity when he was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. “We are very mindful of the difficulty that the government of Pakistan faces with public opinion in this case,” department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. “We remain concerned about him and our message to Pakistan remains that he should be released as soon as possible.” Davis identified himself as a diplomat to police when he was arrested and “has repeatedly requested immunity” to no avail, Crowley said. The U.S. Embassy said he has a diplomatic passport and a visa valid through June 2012.

Skandera’s qualifications as ed secretary questioned
SANTA FE (AP) — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s nominee for public education secretary, Hanna Skandera, faces questions in the Legislature over whether she meets constitutional requirements for the job. The leader of the Public Education Department must be a “qualified, experienced educator,” according to the New Mexico Constitution, but Skandera has never worked as a teacher or administrator in a public elementary or secondary school. Skandera is subject to Senate confirmation and Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, said lawmakers are trying to determine what the constitution means by “educator.” “I don’t think we should just close our eyes to that issue,” Sanchez said in a recent interview. The governor contends Skandera is highly qualified to serve as the state’s top educational leader. Martinez spokesman Scott Darnell said the governor selected Skandera because of her “impressive credentials and strong commitment to reform.” Skandera, 37, worked from March 2007 to January 2009 as deputy chief of staff and senior policy adviser to

Her duties in the Florida and California jobs included policy and legislative adviser and “spokesperson to the media, public and education constituents,” according to Skandera’s resume, which was released by the governor’s office. Skandera also was a lecturer and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s school of public policy in 2002 and 2003. She earned a master’s degree in public policy from the university in 2000. She worked at the Hoover Institution, a think tank at Stanford University, from May 2000 to December 2003 as a public affairs and research fellow.

This resulted in two holidays 10 days apart. Feb. 22 was observed as a federal public holiday to honor George Washington and Feb. 12 was observed as a public holiday in most states to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday. The first attempt to create a Presidents Day occurred in 1951 when the Presidents Day National Committee was formed by Harold Stonebridge Fischer of California, who became its national executive director for the next two decades. The purpose was not to honor any particular president, but to honor the office of the presidency. The date chosen was March 4, the original Inauguration Day. The bill recognizing the March 4 date stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee due to its proximity to Lincoln's and Washington’s birthdays. Members of the committee felt that three holidays so close together would be unduly burdensome to businesses and government. During this time, the
governors of a majority of the individual states issued proclamations declaring March 4 to be Presidents Day. In 1968, the 90th Congress decided to create a uniform system of federal Monday holidays, so they voted to shift the existing holidays to Mondays. The law took effect in 1971. Consequently, Washington’s Birthday holiday was changed from Feb. 22 to the third Monday in February. The change was controversial. Many feared Washington's identity would be lost since the third Monday in February would never fall on his actual birth date. There was an attempt to rename the public holiday “Presidents Day,” but this stalled in committee. Most states with individual holidays honoring Washington and Lincoln shifted their state recognition date of Washington’s birthday to correspond to the third Monday in February. Many renamed their state holiday “Presidents Day.” Presidents Day is now viewed as a holiday that pays tribute to both Washington and Lincoln, as well as all those who have served as president.

report — which estimates a recurring annual cost of nearly $387,000 for the position and support staff. The request for another judge came after a 2007 workload assessment study found that the 8th Judicial District is operating with less than half of the judges it needed to adjudicate cases. However, Kintigh cited concerns over how many of the court’s problems are being created by the institution itself. He referred to the New Mexico Supreme Court’s ruling, for example, that requires a separate jury to hear the penalty phase in any death penalty case, in addition to the professional conduct of Judge Sam Sanchez, one the 8th Judicial District presiding judges. “The judiciary is incredibly important, but I believe the financial problems that we have (is due in part by) the conduct of the judiciary,” he said. “That’s what I tried to call attention to (Monday).” Kintigh says the state’s high court rule change on death penalty juries will cause the state to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for prosecutors to pursue the sentence in the case of Michael Astorga, who was recently

shooting at the facades of homes to terrify the population. Youths trying to gather in the streets scattered and ran for cover amid gunfire, according to several witnesses, who like many reached in Tripoli by The Associated Press spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. They said people wept over bodies of the dead left in the street. Warplanes swooped low over Tripoli in the evening and snipers took up position on roofs, apparently to stop people outside the capital from joining protests, according to Mohammed Abdul-Malek, a London-based opposition activist in touch with residents. Gadhafi appeared to have lost the support of at least one major tribe, several military units and his own diplomats, including Libya’s ambassador in Washington, Ali Adjali. Deputy U.N. Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi accused the longest-serving Arab leader of committing genocide against his own people in the current crisis. The eruption of turmoil in the capital after seven days of protests and bloody clashes in Libya’s eastern cities sharply escalated the challenge to Gadhafi. His security forces have unleashed the bloodiest crackdown of any Arab country against the wave of protests sweeping the region, which toppled leaders of Egypt and Tunisia. At least 233 people have been killed so far, according to New Yorkbased Human Rights Watch. The difficulty in getting information from Libya made obtaining a precise death toll impossible. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on Gadhafi to “stop this unacceptable bloodshed” and said the world was watching the events “with alarm.” British Prime Minister David Cameron, visiting neighboring Egypt, called the crackdown “appalling.” “The regime is using the most vicious forms of repression against people who want to see that country — which is one of the most closed and one of the most autocratic — make progress,” he said. Communications to Tripoli appeared to have been cut, and residents could not be reached by phone from outside the country. State TV showed video of hundreds of Gadhafi supporters rallying in Green Square, waving palm fronds and pictures of him. State TV quoted Gadhafi’s son, Seif al-Islam, as saying the military conducted airstrikes on remote areas, away from residential neighborhoods, on munitions warehouses,

6-12. “In the past, the Legislature has made a distinction between an educator and teacher, with educators being inclusive of administrators and teachers. In this case, Skandera’s experience addresses both as she has played a direct role in crafting education policy as well as in classroom instruction,” Darnell said in a statement. Skandera said she views the constitution’s educator requirement to mean “you been able to administrate and lead in the education field and established yourself as someone who understands policy and implementation. And I believe that I have done that consistently.” However, an educational union leader said Skandera doesn’t meet the requirements for education secretary because she lacks a background in public schools. “I know she has worked for departments of education but she’s worked for departments as a public policy person. l think that is problematic for us as teachers who definitely want a secretary of education to understand what goes on every day in the classroom,” said Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation.

found guilty in an Albuquerque court for the murder of a Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy. The lawmaker also called attention to the New Mexico Judicial Standards Commission’s investigation into Sanchez, who sparked controversy after putting 32 people in jail for contempt of court during a November 2009 hearing. “How much of the workload problems or other issues are due to his conduct?” asked Kintigh. “What’s happening with that whole case (and) his disciplinary action? We don’t know because it’s under seal.” Despite the lawmaker’s concerns, HB188 received overwhelming support of the House, in addition to unanimous consent from two House committees prior to Monday’s vote. It’s the second time in recent history that Kintigh proved to be the lone opposing voice during a House vote. In February 2010, the lawmaker was the only member to oppose a bill that protects public employees from retaliation for blowing the whistle in cases of government misconduct. At the time, Kintigh said he opposed the measure because it didn’t require the individual accused of wrongdoing to pay for any settlement, rather it put the burden on taxpayers. mattarco@roswell-record.com
denying reports that warplanes attacked Tripoli and Benghazi. Jordanians who fled Libya gave horrific accounts of a “bloodbath” in Tripoli, saying they saw people shot, scores of burned cars and shops, and what appeared to be armed mercenaries who looked as if they were from other African countries. Many billboards and posters of Gadhafi were smashed or burned along a road to downtown Tripoli, “emboldening” protesters, said a man who lives on the western outskirts of the capital. The first major protests to hit an OPEC country — and major supplier to Europe — sent oil prices jumping, and the industry has begun eyeing reserves touched only after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the first Gulf War in 1991. Tripoli was largely shut down Monday, with schools, government offices and most stores closed, except for a few bakeries, said residents, who hunkered down in their homes. Armed members of pro-government organizations called “Revolutionary Committees” hunted for protesters in Tripoli’s old city, said one protester named Fathi.

Pull plug on water bill, reappoint state engineer Water hasn’t gotten much legislative attention this year. Maybe that’s why one bill with far reaching consequences has passed its first committee. HB 109 would allow water permit applicants who disagree with the state engineer’s initial decisions to appeal directly to district court. In other words, a dissatisfied applicant could bypass practice and precedent and see if the courts would hand down a more favorable decision. This is wrong on so many levels. First, it allows anyone who can afford a lawyer to short circuit the system. Introduced by a lawyer, Rep. Nate Gentry, RAlbuquerque, the bill has lawyer job security written all over it. Recently the state engineer denied an application to pipe water from Fort Sumner to the Rio Grande for use in Santa Fe. What if an application like this went directly to court? What if a
SHERRY ROBINSON ALL SHE WROTE
similar application, with consequences to you, went to court and you couldn’t af ford a lawyer? Second, the system ain’t broke and doesn’t need fixing. Currently, a dissatisfied applicant must work through the agency’s processes, which usually resolve grievances to everyone’s satisfaction, but if they don’t, then the applicant can go to court. Last year, of 18 contested applications set for hearing, 10 were settled before the hearing, two were withdrawn, and two were dismissed on procedural
grounds. That left four to receive a hearing. Under HB 109, 14 cases might have gone to district court unnecessarily. This bill would also allow unprotested cases to go directly to court. Third, judges aren’t experts in hydrology or water law. Even if the bill became law, a judge would still want to see the administrative record, but there would be little to look at. “The district court relies on our administration and our expertise,” said State Engineer John D’Antonio. “The courts are overloaded anyway. We’ve been pretty successful in setting up alternative dispute resolution, and a lot of decisions get remanded back. I think some attor neys, under the guise of making us more efficient, wanted the bill, but it won’t create any efficiencies. It will just backlog the district courts. They still have the ability to take our administrative record and look
at it.” Regarding the state engineer, at this writing D’Antonio is still on the job, having been neither fired nor reappointed. The governor would be well advised to not change horses midstream. New governors understandably want their own people on board, but the state engineer is too critical for a political decision or a political hire. The late Steve Reynolds served five governors and both parties. Eluid Martinez was appointed by Republican Gov. Garrey Carruthers and served Democratic Gov. Bruce King. D’Antonio was Republican Gov. Gary Johnson’s secretary of environment before Gov. Bill Richardson made him state engineer. The State Engineer’s Office is awash in serious issues, such as interstate compacts, adjudication of all the state’s water rights, tribal water settlements, and the usual push and pull
among agriculture, municipalities and industry. (Disclosure: My son was an entry-level paper pusher in the State Engineer’s Office for a few years, but what I write about here is the result of reporting on water issues over the years.) D’Antonio is not really a political creature. He is a hard-working, focused professional who would work with the powers that be and continue serving New Mexicans. This is not a job for somebody who wants to be popular. Sometimes the long view requires unpopular decisions. D’Antonio has been willing to ask the hard questions: What will happen if we enter a sustained, serious drought? What will happen if we allow people to drill wells indefinitely? Then he’s been willing to tell us the truth and not just what we want to hear. © New Mexico News Services 2011
EDITORIAL
When taxes rise, economy suffers
President Barack Obama is betting his 2012 budget on relatively high economic growth rates over the next several years — but the higher tax rates he’s asking for would work against the expansion that the budget is counting on to help cut the federal deficit. The president has promised a major tax overhaul, and goodness knows one is overdue, but the 2012 budget merely ratchets up tax rates on business and higher income earners. The record of such tax hikes is that all of the anticipated revenue rarely materializes because of their negative impact on growth. The proposal suggests that the economy will grow by close to 3.9 percent per year from 2013 through 2016. But the budget also includes capital gains and dividend rate hikes in 2013 to 20 percent from 15 percent. Top bracket income taxpayers would see their tax rate increase to more than 39 percent from 35 percent. In addition, high-income earners would lose portions of their deductions for mortgage interest, state taxes and donations to charity. The Wall Street Journal, in its analysis of the budget proposals, reports that banks over the next decade would see their taxes increase by $33 billion; corporations and investment firms would face $138 billion higher taxes through various changes in the tax code and petroleum and coal companies would see their tax liabilities increase by $46 billion. Multinational corporations would pay another $129 billion in taxes during the 10year period. In all, the Journal calculates, each spending cut of $1 over the next decade is matched by $1 in tax hikes in this budget. With a GOP-controlled House, the full menu of tax hikes is unlikely to happen. But the proposal sets up a running fight between the president, Senate Democrats and House Republicans over taxes, when the real issue should be slowing spending and reforming the corporate income tax. And it sends a message to the business community that despite recent overtures from the White House, it still faces a hostile environment in many parts of the nation’s capital. That will inhibit investment, and slow the kind of growth that creates jobs. If higher personal income taxes for upper bracket payers are part of some budget compromise, for example, there will be fewer jobs at small firms. Higher bank taxes and taxes on capital gains and dividends would slow loans and investment. And money would be directed to various tax shelters. Given the softness of the economy and the still-high unemployment rate, is this really the kind of fight the president and members of the House should be having? It may well be, as the president has suggested, that there should be some kind of business tax overhaul in which tax credits could be jettisoned for a more evenly applied corporate business tax with a lower rate. That kind of tax talk, and much more vigorous spending cuts, is what’s needed to spur the economy — not the list of tax hikes included in this budget. Guest Editorial The Detroit News DEAR DR.

Author Ken Hodgson to speak at library this Saturday LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY
Author Ken Hodgson will be visiting the Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., on Saturday at 2 p.m. to present a program about his newest book, “Should an Eagle Fall.” In addition, he will offer information on “How to Write Fiction.” He has written about 15 novels, hundreds of short stories and magazine articles and is an active member of Western Writer of America, Mystery Writers of America and Inter national Thriller Writers. Hodgson was born in central Colorado and currently lives near Tucumcari. Everyone is invited to this free program which is hosted by the Friends of the Library.
Book Talk
Hodgson’s variety of careers include being a prospector, a gold and uranium miner and an author, who uses his experiences to good effect in his novels. Scott May, reference librarian, focuses on some of his fictional works. “Should an Eagle Fall” is the story of bureaucratic overkill, media bias and political correctness gone haywire. Caleb Starr is a rancher who is simply trying to protect his chickens when he shoots a bald eagle that he
LETTERS
thought was a chicken hawk. Unfortunately, an overly zealous environmentalist was following the eagle in a helicopter and was able to photograph the rancher holding up the dead eagle. When this appears on the cover of a sleazy national tabloid, it ignites a firestorm of publicity causing several government agencies and environmental groups to converge on the town where they proceed to make life miserable for the unlucky rancher. Only one FBI agent correctly believes the rancher is being set up by a maniac who has hacked false information into the computer databases of these agencies. But, can he save the rancher before it is too late? This is a cleverly written tale that combines suspense, intrigue, politics, humor and a little bit of romance. Shakespeare is a small New Mexico town barely surviving the Great Depression in “The Man Who Killed Shakespeare.” When Sam arrives, nobody knows that he is a con man on the run from a hit man. Sam has purchased the Last Chance Mine and shows off his faked geological reports. No one, even Sam, expects it to become a gold mine. However, he
Financial collapse
Dear Editor: As you know the report on what caused America’s most recent financial collapse was posted today in Washington, D.C., and it is an amazing report to say the least. No individual was held responsible for what really amounted to a tremendous series of crimes. Did anybody ever consider the fact that bond rating agencies like Moodys were rating junk derivatives and giving these derivatives AAA ratings. Think about this ... it is really important. Could Wall Street banks have sold billions of dollars of these junk derivatives without AAA ratings? Absolutely not. The bottom line is, without a doubt, millions of Americans lost billions of dollars because of a financial conspiracy. Had Moodys, as well as other bond rating agencies, been honest and reported these junk derivatives as junk then these derivatives could not have been passed off to trusting customers and America, as well as the rest of the world, would not have been forced to take a financial shellacking.

your pattern. Most centers allow a maximum of two donations per week and deny more. Plasma donation is more involved than whole blood in ter ms of the time involved, taking up to or more than two hours each time. Perhaps that is why it pays as well as it does. Plasma is used for a variety of medical purposes, such as with assisting burn victims, hemophiliacs, those with primary immunodeficiency, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, transplant recipients, genetic lung disorders, liver conditions, and some neurological and autoimmune disorders.

succeeds beyond his wildest dreams before going into a climactic comic tailspin. Spontaneous combustion in Silver City in 1943 is the setting for “Season of Burning Souls.” Hodgson combines the genres of mystery and western with a hint of science fiction for this offbeat tale. A hot summer scorches up when residents begin burning to death. What possible connection could the deaths of an elderly nun, an insane for mer state employee and an itinerant banjo player have in common? Sheriff Sinrod and county coroner Whitlock investigate the unusual deaths, but do not have an explanation for the lack of bodies, just ashes and shoes. Then, there is also the matter of the metal cylinder that fell to Earth, leaking green fluid. The large cast of curious characters adds to the humor of this novel. For westerns fans, “Fool’s Gold” tells the story of Jake Crabtree, an unlucky and lazy prospector, who has been searching for gold for years. When his partner dies, Jake tries to honor his request to be buried on the claim that the two share. In the process of digging the grave, a rich vein of gold is discovered. Jake gains a lot of wealth and real estate property overnight, but the news sparks a gold rush and the appearance of many unsavory characters, who would like to rob him of his joy.
A big gold rush occurs in a small Nevada town in “God’s Pocket.” Milo Goodman is a young inexperienced gold prospector. He ends up owning a saloon, so that the original owner can leave town before he is lynched. Milo resigns himself to serving shots to a shifting mix of miners, tourists and vagabonds. The book is filled with unforgettable quirky characters, and is told with style, humor, romance and drama.

Star shows
Dear Editor: Can anyone tell me why the Roswell Planetarium doesn’t have “star shows” anymore? When I was young, I went to a great show there and when I went recently to take my daughter, I was told they no longer have star shows. They showed our group a film about the universe. I can see a film on cable TV; I don’t want to see it in the planetarium! When I was in Denver we saw a wonderful presentation at their planetarium. Computers now can do amazing things and I don’t know why the city of Roswell or the Roswell Independent School District doesn’t train the Planetarium director to use the equipment or hire someone who knows how to run it. Maybe the city can look into getting updated equipment to make the shows even better, like the one in Denver. And please have regular showings. Otherwise, just shut the Planetarium down and save the city some money! Thomas Campbell Dexter
Health care in Roswell

My 83-year-old grandmother recently experienced a life-

began to visit public art in Chicago. Honestly, I thought the sculpture was scary. (I have changed my mind since!) Then Chicago invested in more downtown public artwork, and I saw the Marc Chagall mural mosaics. All pink and dreamy, with goats flying in the air and people dancing in mountains, I experienced a kind of special communion with art in the most urban of settings, with honking horns and snow. Who could imagine that a Russian Jewish artist would touch me so deeply? But I know that those murals probably had something to do with me falling in love with my husband, the artist German Perez, who coincidentally is known as the Caribbean Chagall. I know that many people will say this is not a time to be thinking about art. We have a budgetary crisis. This is when we learn about sacrifice, because a budget has to be tough. When I registered my self-doubt about supporting public art in times like these, I was surprised to see how many people at the University of Colorado at Boul-

Dr. Wenner expertly per for med life-saving surgery, taking painstaking precautions to ensure a favorable outcome. Dr. Rok, anesthesiologist, administered anesthesia expertly to a patient at extremely high risk. Dr. Feroze meticulously managed her cardiac condition, visiting her in the hospital every day — even on weekends — and many times very late at night, while Dr. Muhammad exceptionally coordinated all aspects of care. The health care my grandmother received was carefully orchestrated and delivered with compassion and expertise. She was not expected to make it through surgery, yet today, three weeks later, she is healthier than she has been in a long time. She is, no doubt, a living testament to the skills of those who cared for her. Yes, physicians have left our community. The health care concerns we face are not unique to our community, but rather are concerns that are shared by communities our size all over the United States. But rest assured, Roswell, that high quality health care is still available in our community. Let’s work together and use that resource as a foundation to build our health care community and as a tool to recruit equally talented physicians to our great city. Lisa Braggs Roswell der, where I was a visiting professor for a few days last week, had a similar reaction to the budget. The budget President Barack Obama is proposing includes millions of dollars being cut from public arts through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Endowment for the Humanities — a total of $44 million. Yes, there is waste. Yes, there can be some cuts. But those whom I spoke to said this: Until we see that spending on the defense budget (except for care for wounded soldiers and their families) is gone through with a fine-toothed comb, cutting this massively from public art funds should be questioned. I know we have long-term debt in our country. But I also believe that long-term investment in the arts can change lives. That money on public art was well spent by Chicago back in the ’70s. You never know how one moment with public art can change a life or lead to love — the way Chagall and Picasso led me to find the love of my life.

NATION/OBITUARIES
Roswell Daily Record
Neither side budging in Wis. union fight MADISON, Wis. (AP) — No resolution appeared imminent Monday to the stalemate over union rights in Wisconsin, leaving Senate Republicans resigned to forge ahead with less-controversial business such as tax breaks for dairy farmers and commending the Green Bay Packers on winning the Super Bowl. As the standof f entered its second week, none of the major players offered any signs of backing down in a highstakes game of political chicken that has riveted the nation and led to ongoing public protests that drew a high of 68,000 people on Saturday. Thousands more braved cold winds and temperatures in the 20s to march again on Monday, waving signs that said “Stop the attack on Wisconsin families” and “solidarity.” The 14 Senate Democrats who skipped town Thursday to indefinitely delay a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s bill stripping most collective bargaining rights from nearly all public employees remained missing in action for a fifth day. Walker refused to back down and again called on the Democrats to return and vote on the bill “For those 14 Senate Democrats, you’ve had your time,” he said. “It’s time for them to come back and participate in democracy.” The Democrats have been far from in hiding. They’ve done numerous television interviews and two of them even participated, via telephone from an undisclosed location, in a brief meeting to schedule the Senate’s session on Tuesday. “You have shut down the people’s government, and that is not acceptable,” Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said to them during the meeting. Both the Senate and Assembly planned to be in session on Tuesday to take up the bill, but at least one of the missing Democrats needed to show up for a vote to be taken in the Senate. Assembly Democrats planned to offer dozens of amendments that could push a vote into Wednesday or later. Although Tuesday’s list of items, including the resolution honoring the Packers, is largely bipartisan, Fitzgerald hinted that he might try to push some more controversial ones later, even if the Democrats aren’t back.

Henry W. Allen
CARLSBAD — Henry W. Allen, 66, passed away Feb. 18, 2011, at Carlsbad Medical Center. Visitation will be Monday, Feb. 21, 2011, from 4 to 7 p.m., at Denton-Wood Funeral Home, 1001 N. Canal St., Carlsbad. Funeral services are scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011, at 10 a.m., at First Assembly of God Church with the Rev. Brad Coates officiating. Interment will follow in Carlsbad Cemetery. Denton-Wood Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. Henry W. Allen was born Feb. 20, 1944, in Hagerman, to Ned W. and Vera Inez (Wright) Allen. He graduated from Roswell High School in 1962. He married Connie June Waide on Aug. 14, 1965, in Roswell. They moved to Carlsbad in 1973 to open the Carlsbad office of Allen Roofing. Henry was an active member of the First Assembly of God Church. He was very active in the Carlsbad community, including being a member of the Carlsbad Rotary Club. Henry was preceded in death by his father Ned W. Allen, his wife Connie June Allen, in March 2010, and brother Willard N. Allen.

bilities is a vote on the question of whether voters should be required to show identification at the polls. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller said Democrats were waiting for Walker to compromise. “It’s right in front of the governor,“ Miller said. ”He just needs to pick it up and allow us to move on. ... This is a nobrainer.” Under one deal, the unions said they would accept paying more for benefits as Walker wants but still retain their collective bargaining rights. Another compromise offered by Republican Sen. Dale Schultz would remove collective bargaining rights just for two years. Walker has repeatedly rejected both offers, saying local governments and school districts can’t be hamstrung by the often lengthy collective bargaining process and need to have more flexibility to deal with up to $1 billion in cuts he will propose in his budget next week and into the future.

Betty Jo McCullough
Betty Jo McCullough, 79, passed away in Sheridan, Wyo., on Feb. 20, 2011. She was bor n Betty Jo Parker on April 10, 1931, to Ethel and John Parker in Heavener, Okla. She grew up in Poteau, Okla., graduating from high school in 1949. She spent the happiest years of her life married to James E. (Jim) McCullough. She married Jim in Gallup, on May 3, 1965. Jim’s work in the coal industry took them to Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Betty took care of the home and family as they moved and lived in many communities, touching many lives. They eventually settled in Sheridan, Wyo. Betty worked various jobs in the community before taking a job as head cook at Highland Park Elementary
School. She raised six children and followed daughters, T racy Will and Donna McCullough, around Wyoming for many years of high school basketball, swimming, volleyball and track and field. She immensely enjoyed watching her grandchildren play softball, soccer and football. She retired from Highland in May 1989 and traveled the country with her two best friends, Jim and Cheyenne, their beloved German Shepherd, visiting every state in the union except New Jersey. Betty spent many wonder ful summers picnicking in Story, jet boating on Lake DeSmet and Tongue River Reservoir and sipping a cold coke on her back patio, listening to her wind chimes. She also enjoyed watching birds at the feeders in her yard. She loved volunteering with friends at the Catholic Thrift Store in Sheridan. In the fall, she and Jim collected fire wood in the Bighorns to burn in their stove on long winter nights while watching Oklahoma football. And while she hated the cold, she still enjoyed snowmobiling in the mountains with family. She was preceded in death by her parents, and three brothers, John, Chuck, and Billy Ray. She leaves her husband, Jim; daughters: Donna McCullough and Wyeth Friday of Billings, Mont., Mary and Tom Patterson, of Lincolnton, N.C., and Tracy and John Will of Sheridan, Wyo.; sons: David and Anne Robinson, of Acworth, Ga., Mark McCullough, of Sheridan, Wyo., and James and Michelle McCullough, of Jacksonville, Fla. She also leaves numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., at Kane Funeral Home on Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011, with Pastor Doug Melius officiat-
late afternoon news conference inside his conference room, thousands of protesters could be heard through the doors blowing whistles, banging on drums and chanting “Scott Walker has got to go!” “This guy is power drunk and we’re here to sober him up,” said Bert Zipperer, 54, a counselor at a Madison middle school who was among the protesters. “He wants to do it unilaterally without any compromise. He wants to be a national conservative hero and he thinks he can get away with this.” The emergency plan Walker wants the Legislature to pass would address this year’s $137 million shortfall and start dealing with the $3.6 billion hole expected by mid-2013. The benefits concessions would amount to $30 million this year, but the largest savings Walker proposed comes from refinancing debt to save $165 million. That portion must be done by Friday for bonds to be refinanced in time to realize the savings by June 30, the end of this fiscal year.
ing. A reception will follow at Kane Funeral Home. Memorials may be made in her name to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice. Betty was a remarkable woman and will be dearly missed. Online condolences may written at be www.kanefuneral.com.
Walker said not passing the bill by Friday would make even deeper cuts necessary and possibly result in laying off 1,500 workers over the next four months. Thousands of those affected and their supporters marched on the Capitol for a seventh straight day. Hundreds of them have been sleeping in the rotunda every night and several districts have had to close after so many teachers called in sick. The Madison School District was closed Wednesday through Monday but was expected to reopen Tuesday. Districts in central Wisconsin were also closed Monday, but that was because of 10 to 12 inches of snow. Milwaukee schools were shut down for a pre-scheduled midsemester break. Those closures, on top of Monday being a previously scheduled furlough day for state workers, resulted in another large crowd Monday but an of ficial estimate was not yet released. At noon, guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine took to a stage on the Capitol steps to fire up the crowd. He said he flew in from California to lend his voice to the protest. “The future of workers’ rights will be decided in Madison, Wisconsin,” he said. “You’re making history here.” He joked that he could hardly play the guitar because his fingers were numb. He sang a song with the refrain, “For the union men and women standing up and standing strong!” Each time he repeated that lyric, the crowd roared. Walker’s plan would allow unions representing most public employees to negotiate only for wage increases, not benefits or working conditions. Any wage increase above the Consumer Price Index would have to be approved in a referendum. Unions would face a vote of membership every year to stay formed, and workers could opt out of paying dues. The plan would also require many public employees to cut their take-home pay by about 8 percent by contributing more of their salaries toward their health insurance and retirement benefits, concessions the unions have said they’re willing to accept. But Walker and Republicans are showing no willingness to budge while the Senate Democrats say they are prepared to stay away for weeks if that’s what it will take.

STS-133 pilot Eric Boe, left, and commander Steve Lindsey walk acoss the tarmac to their Shuttle Training Aircraft at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Monday. The space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to lift off Thursday afternoon on an 11-day mission to the International Space Station.
Countdown on for Thursday launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — After a four-month grounding of the space shuttle fleet, NASA’s countdown clocks started ticking again Monday for Discovery’s final ride into orbit. Discovery is scheduled to blast off Thursday afternoon to the International Space Station. Forecasters put the odds of good weather at 80 percent. When NASA tried to launch Discovery in early November with supplies and a humanoid robot for the space station, the countdown never got past the fueling phase. A hydrogen gas leak halted everything, then a more insidious problem cropped up: cracks in the external fuel tank. The shuttle team went into overdrive to fix all the cracks in the metal struts, located on the central portion of the tank, and to reinforce the rest of the area. The problem increased the risk of broken insulating foam, the very issue that doomed Columbia in 2003. “Discovery has been a really remarkable vehicle for us,” NASA test director Jeff Spaulding told reporters Monday. “She still has a few more miles to go before she sleeps, though.
SUPPORT ROSWELL
RECYCLE
She’s taken us on many amazing journeys throughout the years, and we expect this flight to be no different than any of those.” Commander Steven Lindsey and his crew expressed gratitude for the unprecedented repairs. After arriving at Kennedy Space Center over the weekend, Lindsey called the cracking problem “probably one of the most difficult, technical challenges we’ve faced in recent years.” The other challenge for the six-person crew, he noted, was the loss of the mission’s lead spacewalker. Astronaut T imothy Kopra was replaced last month after he was hurt in a bicycle crash. Stephen Bowen, an experienced spacewalker, took over. “I’ve got big shoes to fill,” Bowen said Sunday. Because of the delay, Discovery has spent more time awaiting liftoff in the Vehicle Assembly Building and at the pad than all but one other shuttle mission. Columbia set the record at 183 days in 1990. If Discovery soars Thursday, it will come in at 170 days. Following this 11-day mission, Discovery will be retired and sent to a museum. Its final destination is expected to be the Smithsonian Insti-
tution. It is the oldest of the surviving space shuttles. Only two other shuttle flights remain, by Endeavour in April and Atlantis at the end of June. NASA is under presidential direction to turn over orbital trips to private business and focus on expeditions to asteroids and Mars. Until private spacecraft are ready to start hauling up space station crews, U.S. astronauts will have to continue hitching rides on Russian Soyuz capsules for a steep price. Spaulding said it’s a bittersweet time for the team that has prepared Discovery for liftof f for so many decades. While it’s sad to say goodbye to shuttle flying, “everybody’s proud in what they’ve done and they’re really happy to see her go off on this last mission.” Since its first flight in 1984, Discovery has logged nearly 143 million miles in space, with another 4.5 million miles expected during its upcoming journey. It carried up the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990, returned John Glenn to orbit in 1998, and got shuttles flying again after the deadly Challenger and Columbia tragedies.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS KNICKS TRADE FOR NUGGETS’ ANTHONY NEW YORK (AP) — The Knicks have agreed to a trade with the Denver Nuggets for Carmelo Anthony, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday night. The deal that would end the season-long trade saga involving Denver’s All-Star forward can’t be finalized until Tuesday during a conference call with the NBA office. Assuming it goes through, it puts Anthony alongside Amare Stoudemire in a potential explosive frontcourt — at a heavy cost for the Knicks. The person provided no other details of who was in the deal, which was first reported Monday by the Denver Post. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly on the trade. The Post, citing a league source, said the Knicks would send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 firstround draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash. Along with Anthony, New York would acquire Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, according to the Post. The Nuggets have explored an Anthony trade since he refused to sign the three-year contract extension worth nearly $65 million they offered him last summer.

Coyotes down Bulldogs, claim No. 1 seed KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR
HAGERMAN — In the previous two meetings of the Roswell and Artesia girls basketball teams, a quick start is something that eluded the Coyotes. That wasn’t the case on Monday in the District 44A tiebreaker between the two squads. Roswell opened up a 10point lead in the game’s opening 5 minutes and was never truly threatened in a 60-38 win over the Bulldogs at Hager man High School. “It was real important to get going,” said Roswell coach Joe Carpenter about his team’s start, which helped the Coyote lock up the district’s top seed and a home game in the district championship game. “We talked about that. We really felt like we could take something from the second half (of the last Artesia game) and carry it over to tonight.” Whatever Roswell (23-3) carried over from the last game certainly worked on Monday.
Leading 4-2 with about 5 minutes left in the first, Roswell ran off an 8-0 run with a pair of baskets from Diana Carrillo and buckets fr om both Shanice Steenholdt and Desirea Allen. That run took just a minute and a half to complete and put Roswell ahead 12-2 with 3:15 left in the opening quarter. Artesia, meanwhile, never found a groove on the of fense end in the opening half. This Bulldogs turned it over five times to fuel that Roswell run and committed a total of 14 turnovers in the opening half. The briefly cut the Coyote lead down to five with 2:01 left in the half, but that lasted all of 11 seconds when Steenoldt hit a pair to make it 23-16. Artesia (14-13) would trail by seven twice more, but could never get any closer. Roswell pushed its lead to as many as 17 in the thir d quarter and then opened the fourth with a 16-4 run to put the game out of reach.
“I thought our depth wore them down,” Carpenter said. “When you’re able to use some guys and sit people, you know that they’ve got a lot left in the second half. And that’s what we had.” Possibly the biggest deciding factor was the play of Steenholdt — a Division I signee — who finished with game highs in points and rebounds with 14 and 13, respectively. “She was r eally focused,” her coach said about her play. “She knows it’s her senior year and she feels that sense of urgency to do well. “She hadn’t played well against (Artesia) twice and I think she really wanted to.” Carrillo matched Steenholdt in points with 14 See COYOTES, Page B2 Steve Notz Photo

Gateway Chr. falls to Chiefs, 62-58 NMMI loses to South Plains LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER
The phrase “ a back and forth game” is usually used when the lead changes numerous times. Despite not having any lead changes in the second half, the above phrase is a perfect summation of the Gateway Christian boys basketball game on Monday. The Warriors seemed to have momentum in hand many times during the second half of their 62-58 loss to Mescalero Apache in the first-round of the District 71A tournament, but the Chiefs were always able to take it back before losing their lead. Gateway trailed 28-22 entering the third quarter, and three minutes into the quarter two free throws by Godfrey Cordova gave the Chiefs a 35-25 lead. Over the next 50 seconds, however, the Warriors seized momentum. Luke Grant started a 5-0 run with a putback layup and Mason Miller finished it with an old fashioned three point play that made the score 35-30. After a defensive stop by Gateway, the Warriors had a
chance to cut into the lead even more but they turned the ball over and on the next Mescalero possession, Cordova snared an offensive rebound and made a layup to end the run. A second-chance bucket by Caleb Kimberly cut the lead to five again, but the Chiefs’ Julius Mendoza nailed an off-balance 3pointer to make the score 42-34. The Warriors made another run after Mendoza’s 3 that cut the lead to 42-39 with 1:34 left in the third, but Mescalero closed the quarter with a 5-1 run to take a 47-40 lead into the fourth. Gateway coach Troy Grant said that Mescalero’s second-chance points and 3-point shooting was a big part of the Chiefs’ win. “(The second-chance points) were huge for them,” he said. “I thought we should have had some calls over the back. We didn’t get them and that’s the way it is. They got some second chance shot chances and anytime a team gets second shot opportunities it hurts. “The three’s were huge See WARRIORS, Page B2

Kobe Bryant throws down a reverse dunk during the NBA All-Star Game, Sunday. Bryant, who scored 37 points in the West’s win, won his fourth All-Star MVP award, tying Bob Pettit for the all-time record.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant always shines brightest among the stars, especially in his hometown. Bryant brought Showtime back to the All-Star game, scoring 37 points and tying a record with his fourth MVP award, leading the Western Conference to a 148-143 victory over the East on Sunday night. “I feel like we have a sense of responsibility and we are voted in for what we do during the season, which is play hard,” Bryant said. “And we come here, that’s what the fans want to see. They want to see us go at it and see us compete and that’s what I try to do and that’s what I try to tell my teammates to do.” Returning to the game he dominates after a one-year absence, Bryant added 14 rebounds in a spectacular performance in front of the usual celebrity-filled crowd that turns out to see his Lakers at Staples Center. “It feels great, being at home here and playing in front of the home crowd,” Bryant said after receiving the MVP trophy. “This will be my last All-Star game in front of these home fans, so it feels good to do it.” Kevin Durant chipped in 34 points, scoring five straight after the East cut a 17-point deficit after three quarters to two points with 2:34 to play. The NBA scoring leader added the clinching free throws after the East got back
within three in the final seconds. LeBron James powered the East rally, finishing with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists to join Michael Jordan as the only players with a triple-double in the AllStar game. Amare Stoudemire also scored 29, but Miami’s Dwyane Wade, the MVP of the East’s win last year, had to leave with an ankle injury after scoring 14. Wade said he rolled the ankle he originally hurt in a loss at Boston last week. He was hoping James would pull it out without him. “I wish the East would’ve won, then my teammate with the tripledouble would’ve stole (the MVP),” Wade said. “But (Bryant) deserved it.” Plenty of Hollywood giants were sitting courtside, but Bryant’s popularity here can rival most of them. This week, he became the first athlete to have his handprints and footprints put in concrete outside Hollywood’s famed Grauman’s Chinese Theater. He told fans to “enjoy the show” before the tip, and as always he delivered a good one. Always more about focus than fun, Bryant had 21 points by the time Rihanna came out for her halftime performance, putting him halfway to Wilt Chamberlain’s record from 1962, the year of his 100-point game. “You could tell he started out from the start, he wanted to get See ALL-STAR, Page B2

As a team, South Plains shot 45 percent from the field in the first half, but NMMI trailed by only seven. “They just shot the ball better than we did,” Schooley said. “They had a guy and we were hang-

was dominated by talk of a potential trade to New York or New Jersey, and the Denver Nuggets forward appeared alternately entertained and annoyed by the constant questions. “At times, it can be tough, but it’s fun at the same time,” he said while walking on the magenta carpet before the game. “During this weekend I’m still having fun.” While hearing some of the usual “MVP! MVP! chants he’s usually serenaded with at Staples Center, Bryant tied Bob Pettit’s record for All-Star game honors. He was scoreless for the final ing all over him and he was raining three’s. In the second half they cooled off a bunch and I think that is partly because we made them take some tougher shots off the dribble.” NMMI allowed only one 3 in the second half and South Plains shot 39 percent from the floor. The problem was, the Broncos (10-18, 2-11 Western Junior College Athletic Conference) made just seven field goals in the second half. Jon Marsh led NMMI with 18 points, while Stephen McCray chipped in with 15. Mike Pinson added 12 points for the Broncos.

Gasol scored 17 points, helping the West hold on against an East team featuring a combined seven players from Boston and Miami, considered two of the biggest threats to end the Lakers’ reign. The exhibition game had a bit of a finals feel with the presence of a record-tying four players from the rival Celtics.

Roswell earned the right to host the district title game with the win and will play the winner of today’s district semifinals between Goddard and Artesia at 7 p.m. on Friday at the Coyote Den.

Rondo were also here from the group that lost Game 7 on this floor last June and would love another chance to come take the title back. East coach Doc Rivers sent his four players out together midway through the first quarter to loud boos that usually provide the soundtrack of June in Los Angeles. They quickly tur ned to cheers when Allen threw up an airball on his first shot attempt. Bryant denied gaining extra motivation from seeing the two rivals, both of whom already won at Staples Center this season. But he was clearly into the game from the

They came at key moments and that hurt because they did come at key moments in the game.” Gateway came out with a purpose on the defensive end to start the final quarter. Other than a free throw by Justin Franklin, the Warriors didn’t allow a Chief basket until four minutes were left. Unfortunately for Gateway, they couldn’t take advantage of the drought.

backup point guard Jarrett Jack has been arrested and charged with drunken driving. Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said in an e-mail Monday the 27-year-old former Georgia Tech star was pulled over early Sunday by an officer who clocked him at 66 mph in a 45-mph zone. Police say Jack’s Mercedes was also weaving. Whitehead says Jack failed a field sobriety test, then was taken to the Gwinnett County jail and given a breath test, which measured just under the legal limit of .08 more than an hour after Jack was stopped. Jack was also charged with failure to maintain a lane. He was released Sunday night.

Following a pregame per for mance by rocker Lenny Kravitz a tandem talc toss by James and the rest of the East starters, Bryant scored 11 points in the first quarter. The West led 76-64 at halftime. Russell Westbrook, who played at UCLA, scored 12 points and Chris Paul added 10 for the West. The Warriors were only able to muster buckets by Luke Grant and Kimberly and two free throws by Miller that cut the lead to four. That would be as close as Gateway would get. Two Chief 3-pointers and two second-chance buckets by Cordova kept the Warriors at bay. Troy Grant said that he was proud of how his team battled for the entire game. “Well the guys battled and that’s about all I can say,” he said. “It was a good, close game. They left it all on the court. The kids played hard and I can’t fault them for their effort.

Mental illness in America
Dear Editor: The recent tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, has brought out the usual hue and cry of every special interest group touting a solution to one of our national problems. However, almost to the person, no one has zeroed in on the central issue and that simply is the way we deal with mental illness in America. If we fail to look at the foundation of the problem and only skirt around the edges, the end result will be another pension plan for politicians and lawyers. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, many pharmacological advancements were made in the field of mental health and the treatment of mental illness. There were many bad decisions from a societal standpoint made about mental illness during that time period. The seeds were sewn and now we are reaping the havoc secondary to those decisions. The decision by a liberal society and the ACLU in protecting individual rights resulted in mental institutions being gutted and basically made an afterthought of history. Many patients with mental illnesses were turned out on the streets without family support or society support, etc. This is now clearly evident by the homeless in America, i.e., if you look at the homeless situation in major American cities, the estimate is that 80 percent of these people are mentally ill. Due to bad decision-making and thinking we are protecting individual rights, there is very little you can do for these folks. The recent tragedy in Tucson points this out. The person involved was not a political activist. He was in all likelihood a paranoid schizophrenic who in plain simple words was nuts. Paranoid schizophrenics are especially dangerous and deserve special attention from our medical system and our political system. Doctors, family members and the political system all have their hands tied when it comes to dealing with not only paranoid schizophrenics but also other mentally ill patients. I have always failed to see that it was an act of kindness in turning out a mentally ill person from institutional care when that person had no hopes of living a functional life and ultimately would end up on the street. America can do better. There are medications available, but ultimately the patient must take the medication and that will not always be easy because it is very common that mentally ill people stop their medications. We need to revisit our laws concerning mental illness. We also need to make certain that if a mentally ill person is sent home that they truly have a home, plus family support, and the support of the social and medical systems. We do not need to make the laws more complicated so that we end up in essentially a system that only politicians and lawyers can navigate. The history of the Tucson tragedy and indeed other similar tragedies across the nation will ultimately be reviewed and understood in the light of mental illness. We need a system where physicians, family members, judges and elected officials can deal with mental illness in an appropriate way without being hindered by multiple laws that do not protect the patient or society but rather hinders both. We will continue to have episodic tragedies such as the one in Tucson unless we take corrective action. I believe it will be important in changing the laws to engage not only politicians and lawyers, etc., but also actually the people who know the most about the situation — physicians. Many times in our political process, professional people are either left out entirely or are mere tokens on boards and committees when important decisions are formulated. Obviously, doctors should not be the total makeup of a committee, but certainly they should be the foundation going forward with any serious attempt to correct a tremendous problem in our society. In closing, I would ask the readers not to be misguided by the attempts of some to change the discussion, i.e., gun control, political discourse, mean-spirited people. When you are dealing with psychotic folks, the problem is the mental illness not all the window dressing attached to the problem. Thomas D. Ramage, MD Roswell
DNA testing and victim notification
Dear Editor: What were the top headlines on the front page Feb. 2? Sen. Rod Adair wants to set up a victim’s notification fund and Gov. Susana Martinez wants to add DNA testing for anyone arrested for a felony. Aren’t these two politicians Republicans? You know, the party that wants to cut the budget and shrink government? Yet in these financially difficult times they want to expand government services and add expense to our state budget. I have no objections to notifying victims. But then, I have no problem with “big” government helping people under any circumstances. Government is big enough to share the costs of helping people among all of us, making helping cost effective. But the proposed DNA testing is not only expensive, it’s wrong, wrong, wrong. Being arrested for a felony is not the same as being guilty of a felony, and the person arrested should be considered innocent until a jury finds otherwise. Then, maybe, the DNA might be taken and put in a registry. Maybe not, though, since our recidivism rate is high but not at 100 percent, and that felon may never commit another crime. There is also a chance that the felon was convicted mistakenly. Either way, the presumption of guilt is not the way our justice system is supposed to work. I am all for punishing proven criminals, but I am not so afraid of crime that I approve of negating anyone’s civil rights. Yes, I am a registered Democrat. I support government “entitlements” that help people less fortunate than myself. I want “big government” to help those without food, a job or family support. I want Social Security and Medicare to provide income and services to those who paid into the funds. I want my government to help take care of those who can’t take care of themselves, and, yes, I think government is the way to do that. Gov. Martinez, your proposal does not meet either legal or financial criteria for passage. Give it up! Sen. Adair, make your proposal financially feasible or give it up! Stop telling us you are going to be fiscally responsible and start being fiscally responsible. Sincerely, Flo Wells Roswell
Oil spill
Dear Editor: Now that the BP oil spill is long forgotten, did anyone notice that BP never produced the well? Oil companies drill wells to find oil and that well had a lot of oil. So when BP finally succeeded in connecting to the well wouldn’t it make sense to start producing it? Well, it turns out that the government asked BP to start producing it immediately after they connected to it, but BP kept stalling. They wanted to “test” this and “test” that and check on pressures and all sorts of stuff. This was a stalling tactic to finish drilling nearby wells to plug the leaking well. Plug the well? Again, why not produce it? The anser is that BP was going to be fined on the amount of oil that leaked into the ocean. But while the well was leaking, there could only be estimates made as to how much oil was leaking. If they produced the well, everyone would know how much oil the well was producing and how much oil had leaked into the ocean and the fine would be much, much higher based on those actual figures. So they stalled as long as they could until they could plug the well! Pretty sneaky. And they did it right in front of the entire nation! Roy Dunlap Dexter
Welfare drug testing
Dear Editor: I think it is highly amusing that Mr. Jennings wants anyone drawing unemployment to submit to a drug test. He claims they are “robbing from people who can’t work.” Interpret this to mean that Mr. Jennings wants to take money intended for those who are temporarily out of work and give it to people who were never and never will be employed. This guy insinuates that the temporarily unemployed are drug users. He merely wants to humiliate someone. Perhaps he can get some of his buddies at the TSA to stand at the door of Department of Workforce Solutions and grope new applicants. That’ll teach ‘em to be unemployed. Mr. Jennings and his accomplices in Santa Fe are the people who create a hostile business environment, saddle us with pork projects like the Rail Runner, pander to career welfare recipients, allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses, continue to support endless funds for a failed educational system, create a totally useless juvenile justice system, use federal stimulus funds to create more entitlement programs, and inflict upon the taxpayers a $600 million budget “shortfall.” I think it is abundantly clear who should be drug tested, and the sooner the better. That boy ain’t right. Rick Wolfert Roswell
A person or not?
Dear Editor: The idea that a corporation is a “person” is very much in the news these days ... and probably will be more so in the future. I am referring to the Citizens United case decided in the Supreme Court and the “personal privacy” issue in the AT&T case in the lower courts. I can understand that concept regarding entering into contracts, being sued, holding patents, paying taxes, and having voice (free speech) to advertise their products or services. But what else? They don’t take antibiotics, they don’t vote, they don’t go to war, and they don’t have souls. Should we insist that they be buried or cremated when they go bankrupt? I call upon our congressman, Steve Pearce, to introduce a bill restricting the “rights” of corporations as synthetic persons to commercial endeavors. Zero loopholes would be preferable. Chuck Russell Roswell
Osama or Obama?
Dear Editor: I hope you are following what is happening in Egypt, because we are seeing Osama bin Laden’s strategic vision unfold. To paraphrase the vice president, this is a big deal. Now, you may ask, what is Osama’s strategy? Very simply, he plans to see all the lands previously under Islamic control during the Middle Ages again controlled by radical Islamic governments using Sharie law. He calls this the revived “Caliphate.” From this base of power he would seek to conquer the world for Allah. You’ve got to admit, it’s a breathtaking vision! Why would he think such a strategy even remotely possible? Again, very simply, because he understands the power relationships in his part of the world. You see, every one of these dictators in the Middle East, whether they are friendly to the West (like our man in Egypt,) or unfriendly to USA (like the strongman in Syria,) they all made a deal with the devil. Here’s the deal which Osama understands far too well. In return for complete control of the state (the economy, the army, the police, the puppet political parties, etc.,) the dictators gave complete control of the culture to the Islamic fundamentalists, who promised to keep everything quiet. Osama is betting that when the dictators fall, all power, political, social, economic, cultural, will fall right into the hand of the jihadists. Islamists are tired of being quiet, and the fall of the dictators is now under way. If Osama is right, in a little while we may see North Africa from Gibraltar to the Gulf under his control — a revived Nazi ideology and empire now dressed up in religious garb. Then, to paraphrase the vice president again, we’ll have a really big war on our hands. Of course, the Obama administration and all other Western governments are betting, hoping and praying that the Islamists will not be strong enough to take over. History is not on our side. For example, when the Nazis seized power in Germany, they were still a minority. The same can be said for the Communist takeover in Russia. We’ll soon see who’s right, Osama or Obama. (Osama is the Islamic terrorist born in Saudi Arabia. Obama is the Christina president born in Hawaii, which is part of the USA.) William M. Shaw II Major, U.S. Army (retired) Roswell

Evolution versus creation
Dear Editor: I was reading the discussion about evolution and creation between Russell Scott and Donald R. Burleson and I first have to say that Letters to the Editor make a poor forum for this discussion. That said, I have looked carefully at the evidence and I agree with many scientists who have bravely admitted that evolution cannot be proven. Just a few examples: Cambridge Professor John Barrow says that the belief in “the evolution of life and mind hits dead-ends at every stage. There are just so many ways in which life can fail to evolve in a complex and hostile environment that it would be sheer hubris to suppose that, simply given enough carbon and enough time, anything is possible.” Molecular biologist Michael Denton, in his book “Evolution: A Theory in Crisis,” says the theory of evolution “is more like a principle of medieval astrology than a serious scientific theory.” He also referred to Darwinian evolution as one of the greatest myths of our time. A famous Russian scientist and professor put it this way, “Simple bacteria can divide about every 20 minutes and have many hundreds of different proteins each containing 20 types of amino acids arranged in chains that might be several hundred long. For bacteria to evolve by beneficial mutations one at a time would take much, much longer than the three or four billion years, the time that many scientists believe life has existed on Earth.” Yes, if you had a trillion times longer than the universe has existed, it wouldn’t happen even once. So there is insufficient time and space here to show the vast scientific research proving that mutations and natural selection do not produce new species, and that the fossil record shows clearly that life appears suddenly, in complex forms and with no observable transitional or macroevolutionary changes. It’s crystal clear that the only explanation is that all things were created by God. On the flip side, Russell Scott and mainstream religions are incorrect in saying that the universe or the Earth is only 6,000 years old. To begin with, Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” which obviously can and does encompass billions of years. Then it begins describing creative “days” as God begins preparing the Earth for human habitation. But when the Bible uses the word “days” to describe the creative periods it clearly does not mean 24-hour periods. The word is used figuratively to describe particular creative periods covering many thousands of years. It’s true that Adam’s creation was only a little over 6,000 years ago and evidence of this was seen recently in a DNA research study which found that man’s ancestors can be traced to a single woman living just a few thousand years ago. By saying that the creative days were literally 24hour periods, religion has made the Bible look like nonsense. Not surprising since they have distorted so much else of the Bible. Charles Darwin looked for an alternative to God and religion after his child died and he contemplated what he had been taught about a burning hell. What kind of God would actually burn someone forever he thought? This unscriptural teaching was inconceivable and it turned him away from God and religion. And now the damage is done. Anthony J. Grant, Ph.D. Roswell
Gay people deserve same freedoms
Dear Editor: Even though the very concept of creating less equal classes of people contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ, and has been fought against for generations in New Mexico, and is contrary to our state’s proud tradition of providing equal protection and opportunity for her citizens of every background, tea party-backed GOP Rep. Nora Espinoza has once again introduced a statelevel version (per your front page article) of the Defense of Marriage Act. Similar legislation by Espinoza was defeated last year when it was tabled in the Senate Rules Committee. I wonder if Rep. Espinoza can hear the hypocrital contradictions in her rhetoric. Most of us can. For example, at a tea party event last summer in Roswell, Espinoza screamed the usual tea-bagger talking points: “Too much government interference in our lives ...”; We have “a rich heritage of freedom ... allowing men to worship as they please ...” “I was raised with strong family values ...” “Religion and morality alone is all that can save us ...” I know this kind of talk riles up the fundamentalist base and takes their eyes off issues that really do threaten us. If you are for freedom, then why not gay freedom? If you are for less government regulation, then why try to regulate who can marry who? If you are for family values, then why not let gays establish theirs? Rep. Espinoza makes it seem that gays are evil monsters out to destroy freedom and marriage and the morals of our society. Fortunately for our nation, a new generation of Republicans is moving on the scene with more informed, Christ-like views than the tired, judgmental cliches espoused by Rep. Espinoza. Both Barbara Bush, George W. Bush’s daughter, and Cindy McCain, John McCain’s daughter, have come out in support of gay marriage. And, of course, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has for years very publicly advertised her relationship with her lesbian partner, even adopting a child (now, isn’t that a Republican family, Ms. Espinoza? Dick Cheney obviously thinks so as he proudly shows off that child as his grandchild. And who does it threaten? As a taxpayer, I would like my representative to spend time on more productive legislation: job creation, lower taxes, immigration reform, crime, gun laws ... to name a few. I would like something other than rhetoric intended to engender fear, hatred and division in that segment of our population that seems to believe that morality can be legislated and that their brand of morality is the only kind that God approves of.

DEAR ABBY: I need advice from someone who doesn’t know me personally. My husband and I have been married four years and have three lovely kids. Recently we have hit hard times. A few months ago my husband lost his job, and from there we hit rock bottom. Right now we are sleeping in our car. My problem is I don’t like having my kids live like this. It makes me mad and I feel like a bad parent. I could go to a women’s shelter, but I don’t want to break up my family. I’m scared, and I’m not sure what to do. My husband is working now, but we don’t have enough money to get an apartment, so I was considering staying in a hotel — but it will take some time before we can do that. Do you think we should stay at the shelter until we have a place, or until we can get a hotel room? I need some serious advice. SCARED IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS DEAR SCARED: I’m glad you asked. You should check out the shelter and see what kind of accommodations they can make for you and your small children. It’s a better, safer environment for them than five people sleeping in a car. I know this is a painful decision, but it isn’t “breaking up the family.” It is only temporary until you and your husband have saved enough for accommodations together again.
DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE DEAR ABBY: For the last five years I have had no time for myself. I’m 30 and have a wonderful wife and two daughters, 7 and 4. I work a 40-hour week and go to school full-time. I don’t want to sound selfish, because I know that my priorities are my wife and daughters, and I enjoy spending “quality time” with them. But I also feel that every other week or so, I should be able to get away for a few hours by myself to enjoy 18 holes of golf or go fishing. If I tell my wife I’m going to do something, she makes me feel guilty. If I ask, she gives me the third degree. I know she doesn’t need or want time to herself because I have asked her repeatedly if she does, hoping she’d return the favor — but she doesn’t give me “permission.” Am I asking the impossible? How do I find time for myself and tell my wife without upsetting her? “SELFISH” IN SPRINGFIELD

Dear Heloise: A friend of mine told me I need to KEEP OLD UTILITY BILLS for a year. Is that necessary? T.M., via e-mail
Keeping utility bills is a good way for you to track monthly spending and consumption. Saving statements for a year or so is a good way to compare usage from the previous year or years. But you don’t have to keep them at all. Saving the utility bills until the payment has cleared is a good idea in case of a dispute. Most utility companies keep this
HINTS
FROM HELOISE
DEAR “SELFISH”: (Almost) everyone needs “alone time” to pursue personal interests and unwind. You have a full schedule and you deserve quality time for yourself. Out of consideration for your wife, ask her if playing golf or fishing on a specific day conflicts with any couple or family event she had planned. And be sure to tell her that having some time to yourself will make you a better husband and father — because it’s the truth. Then go and enjoy yourself, and don’t feel guilty.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is new to Facebook and insists on posting something daily. The problem is he can’t spell, and it’s quite embarrassing. I’ve told him he should reread his posts before he sends them, but he doesn’t. How should I handle this? CAN YOU SAY SPELL CHECK?
DEAR SPELL CHECK: Your boyfriend’s problem isn’t that he can’t spell. It’s that he’s too lazy to use spell check. Much as you might like to “handle this” for him, you can’t. Some people must learn their lessons the hard way, and until he embarrasses himself badly enough to proofread his postings, he’ll continue not checking his spelling. Warning: Do not step in and become his editor or it could become a full-time job.

HHHHH Dear Heloise: In a recent article, someone was concerned about the percentage of tipping in a restaurant. I am surprised that people do not know of the system that I use. I was told many years ago by a waiter that you double the amount of the tax, which works out to approximately 16 percent for a tip. If the service is bad, I tip only 10 percent, and if the service is very good, I will give 20 percent. — J.F. in Houston This is a good way, but remember that the sales tax may not be the same across the country.

Neeson’s ‘Unknown’ wins weekend with $21.8M LOS ANGELES (AP) — Liam Neeson has proven himself a known quantity again at the box office. Neeson’s thriller, “Unknown,” debuted as the No. 1 movie with $21.8 million, following in the footsteps of his 2009 action hit “Taken,” according to studio estimates Sunday. Another action tale, “I Am Number Four,” opened at No. 2 with $19.5 million. A Warner Bros. release, “Unknown” stars Neeson as a botanist who awakens from a coma to find his wife claims she does not know him and that another man has taken his identity. DreamWorks’ “I Am Number Four” stars Alex Pettyfer as a teenage alien refugee on Earth who develops superpowers to battle the evil invaders that destroyed his planet. It was the first DreamWorks movie released under the company’s distribution deal with Disney. While “I Am Number Four” held youth appeal, “Unknown” was a rare No. 1 film that did most of its business among older crowds. According to Warner, 54 percent of the movie’s audience was 50
and over and 89 percent was 25 and over. The 58-year -old Neeson has had action roles before but found unexpected success as an all-out action hero with “Taken,” a $100 million hit. “He’s the new man. He’s stepped up to the plate. Put him in the right role and he’s every man’s action star,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner. Two movies that opened the previous weekend held the next two spots in the top 10. Disney’s animated comedy, “Gnomeo & Juliet,” was No. 3 with $19.4 million, finishing so closely to “I Am Number Four” that the two movies could change rankings when studios release final numbers Tuesday, after the long Presidents Day weekend. “Gnomeo & Juliet” raised its total to $50.4 million. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s romance “Just Go With It,” which had been No. 1 the previous weekend, fell to fourth place with $18.2 million. The Sony release lifted its total to $60.8 million. The weekend’s other new wide release,
