SIDNEY LUMET DEAD AT 86

NEW YORK (AP) — Speaking in his office above the Broadway theaters where he performed as a child, director Sidney Lumet was typically unpretentious in discussing his films, a body of work numbering more American classics than most have a right to contemplate. “God knows I’ve got no complaints about my career,” Lumet said in 2006. ” - PAGE B6

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rivals in a divided government, President Barack Obama and the most powerful Republican in Congress split their differences to stave off a federal shutdown that neither combatant was willing to risk. Their compromise is the result of a battle pitting the enduring power of the presidential veto and the White House soapbox — despite a “shellacking” in the last election — against a strong-willed GOP House speaker vaulted into office by a voter revolt against Washington’s free-spending

ways. The resulting measure will bleed about $40 billion from the day-to-day budgets of domestic agencies over just the next six months, the biggest rollback of such government programs in history. It allows Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to claim his GOP shock troops had put Cabinet department operating budgets on track toward levels in place before Obama took office. In the end, the White House had to meet Boehner more than halfway on spending.

On the other side was a strong-willed Obama, who mostly succeeded in forcing Republicans to cave in on dozens of controversial conservative policy prescriptions — including rolling back environmental protections and cutting of f Planned Parenthood from taxpayer assistance while protecting favored programs like education, clean energy and medical research. It was, in short, the type of split-the-differences deal that a political scientist

Roswell celebrated Arbor Day and 21 years of Tree City USA designation at Spring River Park and Zoo, Saturday. Joann Blodgett, Keep Roswell Beautiful president, commented on how Arbor Day helps KRB and Roswell achieve “beautification” and raise awareness about the environment among new generations. “Trees help with cutting down our pollution,” she said. “If we can get young people on board with beautification, recycling, trash pickup, then maybe they’ll be good stewards of land when they get older.” Saturday’s festivities included a proclamation read by Larry Fry, city manager, declaring April 9 Arbor Day; the presentation of Roswell’s 21st Tree City USA and Year Growth awards; an awards presentation for Arbor Day’s youth coloring contest; and an official tree planting ceremony. A dawn redwood tree was planted near the concession stand. Members of the community also had the chance to select from 22 different

Firefighters react to contain a small grass fire from spreading along the Relief Route west of Sunset Friday morning. The fire was quickly brought under control and no property was ever threatened.

Firefighters from the Sierra Volunteer Fire Department extinguished a grass fire that stretched a little more than a quarter of a mile on the shoulder of Roswell Relief Route, south of Second Street, Saturday morning.

Firefighters say there has been a string of small fires off the Relief Route recently, and they have responded to about four or five of them in the past week. State Police say the causes of the fires have not yet been determined, but likely causes include flicking cigarettes out of cars while driving, or driving with a chain behind a truck, which then sparks and starts a fire.

Esperanza House: We’re here to help

JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

April is Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Awareness Month. Esperanza House, a United Way agency, wants you to know that it is available to assist any sexual assault or child abuse victims. The nonprofit has been in Roswell since 1992. “A lot of people aren’t familiar with sexual

assault,” Michael Turner, Esperanza House executive director, said. “There are ways of preventing it. We encourage everybody to learn more about it.” Turner said Esperanza House treats about 50 sexual assault cases every year. He said statistically that’s only a fraction of the possible 500 unreported cases that happen annually. “Only one in 10 sexual

assaults is reported. The key is to report it — make that call,” he said. Turner also encourages peer intervention. “If you see something wrong, get involved,” he said. Some common reasons why sexual assault goes unreported include fear, revealing that the attacker is a family member, law enforcement involvement and the threat of retalia-

tion. Teens and adults over the age of consent are not required to report an assault to law enforcement. “In that case, that is the victim’s choice,” Tur ner said. “But with children, that’s a different story.” Turner also said those with questionable citizenship status are usually fear ful of reporting an assault. “If they become a sexual

assault victim, they become concerned about immigration finding out that they’re here and they’re undocumented,” he said. “Our position here at Esperanza House is that we, under no circumstances, ever inquire about their immigration status. That’s not our business.” Services of fered by Esperanza House include See ESPERANZA, Page A3

Stop Bullying to launch 4/20 Everyone is target for theft JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Bobby Villegas, the Hispano Chamber of Commerce and S.O.Y Mariachi will launch a Stop Bullying program on April 20. The project is a joint ef fort with the Roswell Independent School District. Counselors from Goddard High School, Dexter schools and Counseling Associates attended the planning meeting. The themes are “breaking the silence” and “giving the victims a voice.” The program will include a hotline, 627-SAFE. To ensure the safety of the children, all callers can remain anonymous. Although the Stop Bullying project is part of the crime prevention program and monthly town hall meetings held at S.O.Y Mariachi, the Roswell Police Department will not be involved in the hotline. “We want no fear of reprisals,” said Villegas. “Right now they have no recourse. The need to know they are safe. No one will know who they are,” said Kay Vasquez former GHS counselor. C.W. Hamilton, RISD dean of schools, agreed

that there was a need. “Right now they are either handling it themselves or not handling it at all....Without help a lot (of the victims) will disappear from the school system.” One mother concurred. She said that for her daughter the bullying got so bad she had to be taken out of the school and home schooled. The qualifications for counselors were discussed. Hamilton said volunteers would require a background check. He would like to see professionals in the post. “Social workers are better qualified.” Vasquez recommended a checklist for everyone who works the hotline. Each counselor would assess to see if the caller is immediate danger, and if so, the police will be brought in. “If they are not safe, then the counselors should call the police,” Hamilton said. Hamilton suggested, to be effective, the hotline be available from 4 to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. He expressed a concer n if there would be enough people to maintain it for the number of hours needed. Cynthia Cobas, social worker at Berrendo Middle

School and El Capitan Elementary, said she would ask other counselors and counseling students to man the phones. She advised that the hotline be re-evaluated and the number of calls be assessed on a regular basis. The Hispano Chamber Commerce will hold be a kick-off meeting on April 20 at S.O.Y. Mariachi, where Mayor Del Jurney will issue a proclamation declaring April 20 Stop Bullying Day. “It will be the first kids’ town hall meeting,” said Villegas. The meeting is intended to educate the parents about what is happening in their schools. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to discuss the issue. Villegas said that he, S.O.Y. Mariachi, Hispano Chamber of Commerce and the mayor “will kick in for T -shirts to advertise the new hotline.” The design for the T shirts will be provided by the students from Goddard High School teacher Joseph Lopez’s art class. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Rep. Jeannette Wallace dies

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — State Rep. Jeannette Wallace, who developed a reputation as an independent-minded Republican in her 20-year tenure in the New Mexico Legislature, has died. She was 77. Family of ficials announced Saturday that Wallace died Friday evening at her Los Alamos home.

The cause of death wasn’t immediately available, but her family said she was suffering from various illnesses. Wallace was hospitalized in February during the last legislative session with an undisclosed illness. Terry Wallace Jr. said his mother worked until the day she died.

Since 1991, Wallace had served New Mexico District 43 which covers Los Alamos, Sandoval and Santa Fe counties. Prior to that, she was on the Los Alamos City Council in the 1980s. Wallace was bor n in Arizona and raised five children with her husband, Terry Wallace Sr., who preceded her in death.

Wind whips Kizer 5 fire near Tatum TATUM (AP) — Firefighters are battling a windwhipped grass fire near Tatum but have another blaze near Tucumcari 95 percent contained. The so-called Kizer 5 fire has burned an estimated 5,000 acres of state and private land about 15 miles north of Tatum. State Forestry spokes-

man Dan Ware says about six homes in the tiny village of Milnesand have been evacuated but no damage to structures has been reported. The nearest communities are 20 miles away. Wind gusts of up to 46 mph are fanning the flames. The Union fire also broke

out Saturday northwest of Tucumcari and charred about 2,000 acres. Eight fire departments around Quay County are battling the blaze. About six homes in the area are threatened but fire engines are protecting them and residents voluntarily evacuated.

Burglaries are common and frequent in Roswell, a city that “has a high rate of property crime,” according to Erica O’Bryon, training and recruiting officer with the Roswell Police Department. “It’s a daily occurrence,”she said. O’Bryon said that anyone and everyone can be a target for burglary. “There’s a possibility, regardless of where,” she said. O’Bryon said that burglars often look for secluded areas, and often target homes where a resident’s trash signals a recent purchase of electronics or high-priced appliances. However, she cautioned that those are not the only variables, because burglary is a crime of opportunity. O’Byron offered some advice on what to do if you are at home during a burglary. “T ry to get out of the house and away from burglars, because it can go very bad, very quickly. Lock yourself in the bedroom,” she said. O’Bryon said that the most important thing is to do, if you’re at home during a robbery, is to not

Roswell Police Department arrested Orlando Padilla, 28, for criminal sexual penetration, Friday. “Mr. Padillo is employed by the city as an animal control officer,” said Travis Holley, RPD public information officer. The incident took place on April 6. “Out of respect for the victim we don’t normally make comments about criminal

sexual penetration cases,” said Holley. However, Holley said, “He (Padillo) was on duty at the time of the incident.” Staf f at Roswell Animal Services declined to comment on a personnel matter. Padilla is being held at Chaves County Detention Center on $50,000 cash surety bond.

dows and doors that often develop when materials expand and shrink. When it comes to home security systems, he said that no amount of security is too much. “Any amount of security that you can get is an added protection. The more difficult you make it ... a person is less apt to break in,” Hellums said. Hellums recommended some simple tests and tips to securing homes: Lock, pull and push the doors to see how secure they are; check security systems to make sure they work; make sure your house is well lighted — exterior fixtures, flood lights, and motion censor lights are a must; buy brands like Schlage locks; and secure window air conditioning units. He also recommended investing in screen and storm doors, for extra security. Hellums also offered some common sense advice. “Use what you have,” he said. “Look for anything that is common sense. Make sure your materials are good and in ... a proper place. If a (burglar) comes to your house and everything is tight and secure and looks tight and secure, I think they’d move on.”

She recommended hanging beware of dog signs outside of your house. Richard Lucero, Roswell Neighborhood Watch director, echoed O’Bryon. “Create an illusion that the home has a dog,” Lucero said. Lucero also provided some simple tips of his own, like watching out for suspicious activity. He said ask yourself the question “what doesn’t belong in the neighborhood?” He also reiterated O’Bryon’s “best advice” to residents — “call the police.” Jarred Hellums, general contractor with Helco Inc., also offered some home security tips. “Make sure all of your locks work right.

Exhibition explores photography, environment SANTA FE (AP) — Boldly plastered on a bright green wall at the New Mexico Museum of Art are the words of photographer, art historian and curator Beaumont Newhall. In the face of turmoil, unrest and unhappiness, he asks what photographers, writers and curators can do. “To make people aware of the external things, to show the relationship of man to nature, to make clear the importance of our heritage, is a task that no one should consider insignificant. ... These are days when eloquent statements are needed,” the quotation reads. The museum’s curator of photography, Katherine Ware, can barely finish reading the words aloud before getting choked up. She says Newhall may have penned the words in a 1955 letter to Ansel Adams, but they are still true today. Ware spent the past two years building an exhibi-

The show, which opened Friday and runs through early October, features nearly 100 works. The museum is also offering an online preview along with videos, a photo gallery, details about the photographers and a blog.

It can get in, it can get past our defenses and get past our entrenched points of view and make us think and ask questions and possibly bring us to another place,” Ware said during a tour of the exhibit. The pieces in the show don’t offer any answers. It will be up to visitors to come away with their own conclusions, Ware said. Opening night saw a steady stream of visitors, including some of the artists. Carlan Tapp was one of them. He has spent much time on what he calls “social documentary photography.” His photographs in the show revolve around members of the Navajo tribe who have been impacted by coal mining near their homes in northwestern New Mexico.

Like Adams and Porter, Tapp said today’s artists “are still pushing forward, still getting people to ask questions and bringing about awareness.” Some of the photographers in the exhibition use scale, some rely on black and white and others look to humor to get their messages across. The images include David Maisel’s enlarged photograph of Owens Lake in Califor nia, Brad Temkin’s rooftop gardens in Chicago and Suzette Bross’ commute to and from work as captured by her smart phone. Laurel Schultz offers up what life might look like from a tree’s perspective, and Bremner Benedict invites viewers to acknowledge the role electricity plays in their lives.

But conservative Republicans, many elected with tea-party backing, demanded far bigger cuts of more than $60 billion that would have led to widespread furloughs and harm to programs like food inspection, tax collection and U.S. overseas diplomatic efforts. The final deal, a product of weeks of wrangling, got Republicans back to their original goal, while avoiding

most of the harsher effects of the tea party-backed version. The agreement was sealed around 10:30 Friday night by staff surrogates of Obama, Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and communicated to Boehner in the middle of a meeting of all House Republicans. Much of the final days’ battles involved a GOP push to preserve modest spending increases for the Pentagon against Democratic raids, while Republicans were forced to accept billions of

“A lot of the pictures in this show look a lot like the scene that was in front of the lens, but it’s important to remember the artist was choosing to show you something,” Ware said. “There are different layers of that, there’s the scale, the title, the material, all different clues.” Among the last images is a color photograph of the antlers of dead animals rising up from a blanket of snow. It’s about the cycles of nature, death and regeneration, Ware said. “These cycles are pretty strong but if they’re interfered with long enough, that regeneration can’t happen,” she said. Focusing on landscape photography and its impact on attitudes about the environment seemed natural for Ware, who recalls running around the woods as a youngster in Ohio and planting a tree as a grade-school student on the first Earth Day in

But that started to change as she combed through images and talked to the photographers. “The artists recognize things are broken but there’s still beauty,” she said, referring to the “sinister beauty” captured in some of the images.

OPINION

An April Fool’s joke that went mostly unnoticed

SANTA FE — Big talk among some governors about seceding from the union has led to legislative proposals in a few states allowing the state to decide which federal laws it will follow. No state appears to be anywhere close to approving such legislation. But those legislators should take a look at an April 1, 1988, opinion by New Mexico Attorney General Hal Stratton for some ammunition. Stratton was a nononsense type guy in the second year of his term. He had issued numerous controversial opinions, which he said were not political. He was just “calling ’em like he saw ’em.” So when he issued an opinion informing state agencies of six different situations in which they did not have to follow state law, only one person in the capitol press corps took note of it. He reported it as a straight news item. The three-paragraph press

release accompanying the sevenpage opinion read as follows. “Attorney General Hal Stratton released an opinion today describing the circumstances and legal bases under which state government can ignore state law or the constitution. “Over the past 15 months state officials have stated many reasons for not wanting to comply with state law. After receiving this opinion request, we decided we should research the question and let people know under what circumstances the law can be ignored. “Of course we chose today to

Roswell Daily Record

release our opinion to show what we think of our own research. Happy first day of April.” Stratton’s press release was somewhat believable. It was the first time since the Depression that we had a Republican attorney general and a Republican gover nor, Garrey Carruthers. Maybe all those Democratic years had led to some requirements on executive agencies that Republicans felt unreasonable. But somehow it didn’t sound like Stratton. I decided I wanted to read the seven-page opinion as soon as I had time. Two weeks later that time came. I read the opinion and couldn’t believe what we all had missed. There were plenty of clues. He mentioned April 1 twice and highlighted it at the top of the page. It should have been big news because of Stratton’s controversial nature. In his seven-page decision Stratton opined that legitimate justification for not following a

law include the “time immemorial” exception. If an agency can show one instance when the law was not followed, it does not have to be obeyed. Then there is the “di minimus non curat el stupido” exception declaring that stupid laws don’t have to be obeyed. The “administrative nightmare” rule says if a law requires extra effort it can be ignored. And if a “superior source” can be cited, the law doesn’t have to be followed. Stratton suggested Marx, Nietzsche and Woody Allen as fruitful sources. There’s also the “Royal Mile” rule and the “superboard” rule. Evidently all six of the exceptions related to excuses given by agencies for not following the law. And the citations and footnotes are wonderfully clever. Evidently no one else in the capitol press corps had read this magnificently humorous effort to inform agency heads that they had better start following the law.

I immediately contacted Duncan Scott, a top hand in Stratton’s office, who said they were surprised and disappointed about getting no press coverage. I didn’t ask if agency heads had been made aware of the attorney general opinion but I bet they did. And they may not have been as amused by the April Fool’s joke. I imagine the public would have enjoyed the joke, considering that Hal Stratton was a household word at the time for his controversial opinions. But only readers of Inside the Capitol got in on the joke. That’s not the only good political April Fool’s story. There’s one on Heather Wilson from when she was a state Cabinet secretary that is even more unusual than this one.

Tribunals for terrorists wrong

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and four of his alleged co-conspirators will be tried by a military tribunal in a courtroom at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, rather than before a federal district court jury on United States soil. That decision, announced last week by Attorney General Eric Holder, is a return to the original plan for the prosecutions set by the administration of President George W. Bush. It represents a stunning retreat by President Barack Obama, brought about by Congress’ decision to cut off the funding needed to bring detainees to trial in civilian courts, and Mr. Obama’s unwillingness to press the issue. History will judge this decision harshly. Closing the Guantanamo Bay prison was one of the signal goals Mr. Obama articulated in his campaign for president. Now comes Mr. Holder to reverse his November 2009 decision that Mr. Mohammed and his co-defendants would be tried in federal court in New York City. But the purveyors of fear pushed back. They claimed federal courts were incapable of managing these high-profile trials. They argued that allowing even imprisoned terror suspects on American soil would compromise national security. There have been only three terrorism-related military tribunals convened since 2001, resulting in one plea bargain and two trials, including one in which a defendant boycotted the proceedings. Sentences have been light. Meanwhile, as critics of civilian courts were grandstanding before cable TV cameras, the Bush and Obama administrations quietly were prosecuting and winning convictions in terrorism prosecutions in — you guessed it — federal courts. According to the Center on Law and Security at the New York University School of Law, which publishes an annual “Terrorist Trial Report Card,” between Sept. 11, 2001, and Sept. 11, 2010, the Department of Justice indicted 998 defendants in terrorism prosecutions. In the 668 cases that have been resolved, prosecutors have a conviction rate of 89.6 percent. Military tribunals have no experience trying complex murder cases, much less cases that could be described as the crimes of the century. Support for trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a civilian court is not the same as being naive about the threat of terrorism. It has everything to do with being confident in our system of justice and wary of exceptions won through political cynicism, opportunism and fear-mongering. We have been down this road before. To our everlasting shame, more than 100,000 American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese descent were stripped of their property and put in internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor, ostensibly to protect national security. In 1982, a Congressional commission concluded that the internments were “not justified by military necessity” or even “driven by analysis of military conditions.” Rather, the commission found, they were a product of “race prejudice, war hysteria and a failure of political leadership.” History is repeating itself.

would be forced to close. The concept of a public school system was established in the 19th century by education “reformers” such as Horace Mann of Massachusetts and Henry Barnard of Connecticut. Mann published The Common School Journal and the idea behind a common school system was to educate the poor (at the time, only the wealthy received an education) and unite the country through a common curriculum. By the end of the 1800s, free public education was available to all American children. Then came the 20th century and the content of education began to change. Social “reformers” decided they could use the public school system as a propaganda tool to instill in the young their secular-liberal worldview. This culminated in the early 1960s with lawsuits filed by the notorious atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair. The Supreme Court outlawed prayer and Bible reading in public schools, the teaching of evolution as fact, sex education, environmentalism and now homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” followed. What followed these subjects in many schools was a decline in the fundamentals.

Teachers unions focused more on their members, defending underperforming teachers, rather than on children who were being denied their right to a good education, which, for the poor, was their ticket out of poverty. The school choice movement sprung up and met with fierce resistance from the public school establishment and the politicians who benefited from their political contributions. Politicians who would never have defended the late Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who barred the doors to the University of Alabama in 1963 to keep two African-American students from entering, now have no problem effectively standing in the door of failed public schools to keep minority students from leaving.

Spreading light as a candle or as a mirror A6 Sunday, April 10, 2011

OPINION III

There are two ways to spread light, be a candle or be a mirror. Sometimes in the lives we live we are a candle, sometimes we are a mirror, and sometimes we are neither. Let me explain. The way we live our lives is contagious. The attitude we carry will be passed on to others we come into contact with. If we are tired and grumpy, those we interact with will be pulled down by their exchange with us. If we are full of positive energy and life, those we come into contact with will be energized and upbeat after interacting with us. We need to be a candle in the life we live. Candles spread light. They spread warmth. We need to spread energy and light the best we are able. We need to carry an attitude worth catching, a contagious state of mind that adds to others. There is an old saying, “light begets light.” In our daily lives, we don’t necessarily attract those we choose to attract. We attract those who are most like us. If you don’t like who you are attracting, change yourself and watch what happens. As a general rule, people will move closer to anyone who increases their value and will seek to move away from those who decrease their value. Back to candles and mirrors.

JUST A THOUGHT

We can’t always be a candle. Each of us will have a bad day from time to time or bad times within a day. When we can’t be a candle, we need to seek someone else who is and then be a mirror to him or her. Find a person who is spreading light and merely reflect that person. Reflecting light takes less effort than creating light. Every now and then I come into the office knowing I am going to have a tough day being a candle. My way of announcing this to our staff is to say something along the lines of “I need you to be the candle today,” or “I think today I will need to be a mirror.” What this means is I am struggling with my attitude. I need someone else to have a positive attitude that I can draw on and then pass on. My job then becomes much easier. All I need to do is reflect another’s light. What we need to avoid is

The origin of life

Dear Editor: Burleson supporting evolution again? (Wednesday, Feb. 26) Instead of using an impossible theory, scientist missed the perfect opportunity to explain the origin of life and the universe with scientific facts. Think about this illustration: You see a beautiful twodimensional painting and you know that something from a higher dimension produced it. In this case it’s an artist. You know that the painting didn’t produce itself and it’s not the result of a tornado hitting an art supply store. So consider this: Scientists know that there are more dimensions than the third dimension that we are in. You basically have to “drag” or “pull” a dimension and it becomes or goes into the next dimension. And scientists tell us that matter is actually energy. If you take E=MC² and reverse it, you see that you can make large amounts of energy turn into matter by “slowing it down.” So we see the universe like that “painting” and we know that it didn’t produce itself and it’s mathematically impossible for the materials to mix together and eventually produce structure.

quenching another’s light. There are people in each of our lives who seem to have an endless supply of light and energy. We all should have a person whom we can call on with only a moment’s notice and say something simple like, “I am struggling today. Can you give me some positive energy to help me through the day?” The call need not last more than three minutes, but in the process of the short call, our day can be turned around. It is funny how we are. To a large degree we maintain the minds we had as children, but we hide our emotions better the older we get. A 1-year-old who is unhappy will cry without any limitations. A 30-year -old who is unhappy will not cry, but will internalize the experience. A 5year-old who doesn’t like another’s hair, might blurt out, “Your hair looks messy, Aunt Jill.” A 40-year -old thinking the same thought will not express it to Jill. A 10-year-old who is frustrated with a friend might hit him hard in the chest. A 50-year-old who is frustrated with a friend may speak his feelings, but without any physical contact. I share this with you about children because of discussions my wife and I have had with our children from time to time. Some-

thing happens that puts one of our children in a bad mood. Sometimes an hour later, our child is still unhappy. From time to time this leads me to ask the question, “Do you enjoy being unhappy?” or “Do you want to be unhappy?” In their younger years I could get an answer from them to this basic question. As they grow older, the answer often comes back “Yes.” My response is quite simple. If you choose to stay in a bad mood, go do so in another room. Don’t drag us down because you are unhappy. I recognize it is a human right to be unhappy. I believe there are some people who truly want to be unhappy. I don’t have a lot of trouble with this if it stays with the person. It is when the unhappiness is passed to others when it becomes a big deal. Let me tie this to the candle and mirror analogy. In your down times when you can’t be a candle, do your best to be a mirror that reflects another who spreads light. Basically, we have four choices in how we act toward others: 1. Be a candle, 2. Be a mirror reflecting other’s candles, 3. Fail to respond to others who are candles, or 4. Put another’s candle out. Any of the first three choices are acceptable although the first

So it’s crystal clear that a being from a higher dimension produced the universe (he couldn’t be in our third dimension or he’d have to be bigger than the universe.) If he produced it by turning large amounts of energy into matter, he must be an extremely powerful being. And with such beauty and structure we know he must be an extremely intelligent being. So there you have it. God is that being and he made it clear to the humans from the beginning that he was the creator and he had created three-dimensional humans to be the caretakers for the Earth and eventually the entire physical universe. There was never any doubt about those facts until about a century ago. The creator had been misrepresented as a cruel being and the religions that claimed to represent him did many bad things. It’s like finding out that the person that built your beautiful house was a horrible person who tortured and killed many people. Even the people who worked for him tortured people, abused children and killed many people. Would you tell anyone who built your house? Would you want his advice on how to maintain the house or how to raise your kids? You would

two are clearly preferred. What is important here is to avoid the fourth choice. Don’t do anything to prevent others whose candles are burning strong from continuing to burn. My challenge to you today is very simple. Our lives should be about spreading light. They should be about generating light if at all possible. The first choice for each of us is to have a positive and uplifting attitude that is contagious. Through our lives we can daily uplift and add value to the lives of others. When the difficult times come and you don’t have the energy to generate a positive attitude, find another who is shining bright and merely seek to reflect the light of another. Whatever you do, don’t put out the light of another. Be a candle or be a mirror. Either way you are spreading light in the life you live. Just a thought ...

want nothing to do with him. People finally made up a theory that said maybe there was no creator. Of course the fossil record would not support it and it was mathematically impossible, but people knew little about the Bible and were very disillusioned and very gullible. You ridicule them and tell them that if they still believe in God they are ignorant or uneducated then you’ll finally get them to believe anything. If you told a scientist that life on Earth had been started by “alien beings” from the fourth dimension they would jump for joy. They would even try to make contact with these “beings.” But if you tell them the beings are angels and the fourth dimension is the spirit world and the “supreme alien being” is God, they cringe in disgust. They would much rather return to believing in their fairy tale called “evolution.” What a joke! As a final thought, I find the name that the Creator chose for himself to be interesting. He chose the name that in Hebrew is Yahweh or in English, Jehovah. What does the name mean? It means “he causes to become.” How appropriate! Jason Geist Roswell

Be careful, fire danger is high Roswell Daily Record

As we all know, the dry conditions in Lincoln County and throughout the state have caused some horrible wildfires this year. As we write this article, the Gavilan Canyon area, of Ruidoso, and east through Ruidoso Downs has suffered fire losses to more than 10,350 acres— at least five homes bur ned down as well as numerous other structures. It has been reported that the White Fire is only 35 percent contained. We pray that the wind stays down until the fire is fully contained. As I’ve mentioned many times before, Southeastern New Mexico is blessed with relatively few natural disasters, but fires such as this, and wildfires in low-lying areas next to highways, are certainly tragic to the land, to citizens affected and economically to all of us. Because of the increased fire danger in Southeastern New Mexico, the decision has been made to enact Stage II Fire Restrictions, effective at 8 a.m., Thursday, April 7, for the Lincoln National Forest. “The 2011 fire season is coming into focus as temperatures increase

and winds continue to dry out the vegetation. Our concerns and priorities are for public and firefighter safety during elevated fire danger,” Lincoln National Forest Fire Staff Officer Chad Stewart said. "With Stage II fire restrictions in place, along with everyone’s help, we can reduce the threat of fire here in southern New Mexico.”

Stage II Fire Restrictions:

Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire or stove fire, including charcoal fires, except for certain approved Forest Service sites. Smoking is limited to an enclosed vehicle or a smoking approved building. Possessing, discharging or using any kind of firework or other pyrotechnic device. Welding, or operating acetylene or other torch with open flame. Operating or using any internal or external combustion engine without a spark arresting device which is properly installed, maintained, and in effective working order. Chain saw use will not be allowed between the hours of 10 a.m. through midnight. Pressurized liquid or gas stoves, lanterns, or space-heating devices

Over the past 19 years, Herrera, through the art of dancing, has introduced several hundred children to the beautiful culture of Folklorico Dancing. Not only does he educate them on the regions of which they are representing and interpreting, but he also raises their self-esteem. Words cannot relate the goodness behind his work. Many of his participants cannot afford to participate, so by volunteering his time and his checkbook, he makes sure that no one is turned away. In the classroom, he gives his heart and soul; at the Yucca Recreation Center, he con-

The Roswell Folklorico operates out of the Yucca Recreation Center and has done so for the past several years. The Mexican/New Mexican Folk Dance Program is open to anyone who lives in Roswell and its surrounding community. This program is available to the public all year-round, culminating in a yearly dance recital held during the month of June. The Roswell Folklorico Program received the National Parks and Recreation Arts and Humanities Program of the Year in 2001.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The birdie putt from the back of the green. The raised left arm, holding the putter high. The right fist slamming downward when the ball disappeared, followed by a cheer that rocked Augusta National. It was the defining moment for Rory McIlroy late Saturday afternoon at the Masters. And it was loud enough to rattle Tiger Woods. That birdie on the 17th hole — which caused Woods to back off his shot ahead of him on the 18th hole — sent the 21-year old from Northern Ireland to a 2-under 70 and gave him a four-shot lead going into the final round. It’s the largest 54-hole lead at the Masters since Woods led by eight strokes in 1997. “It’s a great position to be in,” McIlroy said. “I feel comfortable with my game, comfortable with the way I prepared, and all of a sudden I’m finally feeling comfortable on this golf course.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Adrian Beltre homered to cap a six-run third inning, and the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 13-1 Saturday night to earn a doubleheader split. In the first game, Orioles rookie Zach Britton took a two-hitter into the eighth inning, and Baltimore got homers from Nick Markakis and Mark Reynolds in a 5-0 victory that ended the Rangers’ run as the last unbeaten team in the majors. After going quietly in the opener, Texas unloaded on Orioles starter Jake Arrieta (1-1) in the nightcap. Arrieta gave up eight runs and six hits, including homers to Beltre and Mike Napoli, in 3 1-3 innings. Beltre went 3 for 5 with three RBIs, and Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer in the ninth to finish with four RBIs.

missed the cut but didn’t want to miss out on his countryman having a chance to give Europe another major. “He just texted me and told me he loves me,” McIlroy said. “I don’t know if that’s him or the beer talking. No, it’s great to see him out there and I appreciate his support. He’s going to know how I’m feeling. Here’s a major champion and he got it done last year at Pebble. Hopefully, I can emulate that feeling and get a major myself.” McIlroy was at 12-under 204 and will play in the final group Sunday with Angel Cabrera, who won the Masters two years ago and is the only major champion within six shots of McIlroy. Cabrera has fallen to No. 97 in the world, with only two top 10s in the last year. He didn’t think he had much of a chance when he arrived at Augusta. But he’s starting to believe.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Zach Britton walked off the mound to a standing ovation after a brilliant pitching performance that ended the Texas Rangers’ run as the last unbeaten team in the majors. Not long after that, Rangers manager Ron Washington heaped more praise upon the Orioles rookie left-hander, who led Baltimore to a 5-0 victory Saturday in the opener of a doubleheader. “He kept the ball off the fat part of the bat,” Washington said. “Give him credit. He did a good job.” As the last remaining unbeaten team in the majors, the Rangers were seeking to match the fran-

RECORD STAFF REPORTS

The Goddard boys baseball team, seemingly could not miss a ball in its first game against Artesia and beat the Bulldogs, 11-2. Game 2 was a different story as Artesia limited the Rockets to a run in the first inning and beat Goddard, 3-1, to earn a split of the doubleheader on Saturday. In Game 1, the two teams traded runs in the first inning, before Goddard took a 2-1 lead in the third. The Bulldogs briefly tied the game at two in the top of the fourth, but Goddard answered with a seven-run inning of their own to take the lead for good. Andre Shewcraft gave Goddard its final two runs in the fifth with a homer. Goddard coach Steve Nunez said that the first game was a good start to the twin bill. “It was a really good start for us,” he said. “We almost had a chance to end it early, but we couldn’t. All in all, it was a good game. The kids were hitting and scorSee WRAP, Page B2

ing runs.” Brandon Cooper went 3 for 4 with a triple in Game 1, while C.J. Wilcox drove in two for Goddard. The second game was a different story, however, as Artesia scored two runs in the top of the first and never trailed. Goddard’s only run came in the home half of the first, when Wilcox singled and scored on an error. After Artesia scored three runs in the first three innings, Goddard’s Austin Rader came in and pitched four innings of shutout ball, but the Rocket bats could not get a beat on the Bulldogs’ Trevor Whitmire. “It just seemed like the bats went cold for some reason,” Nunez said. “We got the bases loaded in the first inning and only scored one run. That kind of set the tone. We kind of went flat. “Of course, T revor threw a really good game and kept us off balance. We couldn’t catch up to his fastball. We just have to go back and work hard and prepare for Lovington next week.” Wilcox had three hits in Game 2 for Goddard (14-4). Estancia 30, NMMI 20 ESTANCIA — On a wind-swept afternoon, Estancia dropped NMMI to 9-7 in an offensiveladen game. The two teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader, but decided one game was enough. NMMI coach Charlie Ward said that he had never seen wind as bad as that which was in Estancia. “I have been doing this for many years and this is the craziest wind I have ever been a part of,” he said. “It was blowing and howling straight into the pitchers’ faces.” NMMI got off to a quick start, going up 8-0 after the top of the first, but an error in the home half of the inning enabled Estancia to cut its deficit to 8-4. Ward said that Estancia came away impressed with NMMI. “It was back and forth,” he said. “They were really impressed with us. We battled them all the way. They said they think we are one of the best teams they have played.” Chance Cavin paced the Colts with two homers and a double, while Steele Blue chipped in with

chise-record 7-0 start of the 1996 club. But the defending AL champions fell behind 5-0 after three innings and never threatened to make up the difference. “The first two innings they put the runs on the board,” Washington said, “and the kid did the rest.” Britton (2-0) allowed four hits in 7 2-3 innings. He walked three, struck out two and allowed only two runners past first base in his second big league start. Camden Yards wasn’t close to full, but those in attendance stood as Britton walked from the mound to the dugout. “It felt really good. Just kind of shows that the fans are behind you,” Britton said. “There was a couple times with two strikes, they got pretty loud. I got goose bumps there; it takes a little bit to get used to. But it’s exciting.” The left-hander was aided by three double plays — two of which came off the bat of Texas cleanup hitter Adrian Beltre. In the eighth, after Texas got runners at the corners with two outs, Jason Berken came in and retired Ian Kinsler on a fielder’s choice. “We showed we can compete with a good team,” Britton said. “We played really good baseball today, and that’s what this is all about. What I did was just icing on the cake.” Nick Markakis and Mark Reynolds homered for the Orioles, whose 6-1 record is tied with Texas for the best in the majors. Both drives came against Texas starter

three hits and five RBIs. Dexter 6-8, Loving 7-6 LOVING — Dexter bounced back from a tough extra-innings loss in Game 1, to earn a split with Loving on Saturday. In the first game, the Demons took a 1-0 lead in the second and held onto it until the sixth. Loving put up three runs in the home half of the sixth to grab a 3-1 lead, but Dexter regained the lead with a four-run seventh. The Demons couldn’t hold on to the lead though as Loving forced extra innings by plating two runs in the bottom of the seventh. In the eighth, Dexter plated a run, but defensive miscues in the bottom of the inning allowed Loving to score two runs to capture the win. Dexter coach Archie Duran said that he had players playing out of position in the eighth and it cost them. “We took the lead in the eighth, but we had some critical mistakes when they scored those two runs,” he said. “One of our outfielders dropped a pop up. I had a couple of kids playing out of place that don’t usually play there and it showed.” In Game 2, Dexter fell behind 3-0 after the first inning, but used a seven-run second to capture momentum and the lead. Demon pitcher Adam Brown made sure they wouldn’t trail the rest of the way. Brown pitched all seven innings and allowed just two hits, while striking out six. “Adam pitched a great game,” said Duran. “In the second inning, he settled down and threw strikes. He placed the ball where he wanted to and forced a lot of grounders. The kids played really good and our bats did better than the first game. It was good for us to get a split.” At the plate, Edgar Munoz and Steven Marquez picked up two hits each for the Demons in the nightcap.

Twins put Kevin Slowey on 15-day disabled list

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Twins right-hander Kevin Slowey was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with bursitis in his throwing shoulder. Slowey, who was moved from the rotation to the bullpen for the start of this season, felt some soreness in his right biceps while warming up against the Yankees on Monday. He had an MRI exam on Friday that showed some tendinitis in his arm, but the Twins don’t believe Slowey will be out long. Slowey has made three appearances this season, and manager Ron Gardenhire said that the transition from starter to reliever may have contributed to his soreness. Slowey had been a starter in his first four seasons with the team but adapted a new routine in the bullpen. “That’s something Slowey is going to have to learn probably, to warm up a little better and take it a little easier rather than try to rush,” Gardenhire said. “A learning experience.” Slowey wasn’t ready to say that the warmup routine was the cause of his arm soreness. “I’m certainly not a medical professional so asking me to figure out or extrapolate what caused it, I think, wouldn’t be very fair for me to say what caused it,” Slowey said. “All I know is we got an MRI done and the doctors said they don’t think it’s anything serious. They do recommend taking some time and then going from there.” The Twins recalled right-hander Alex Burnett from Triple-A Rochester to take Slowey’s place in the bullpen.

Blatche’s 23, Wall’s 19 lead Wizards over Hawks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andray Blatche scored 23 points, John Wall had 19, and the Washington Wizards dealt the playoff-bound Atlanta Hawks their fourth straight loss, 11583 on Saturday night. The reeling Hawks, who are set to play Orlando in the playoffs, are heading into the postseason in less than ideal shape. The Wizards broke a 12-game losing streak against Atlanta, have won four of six and are probably playing their best this season. They have just 10 healthy players — including five rookies and three who played in the NBA D-League this season. Al Horford led the Hawks with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Joe Johnson had 16 as coach Larry Drew pulled his starters early in the fourth quarter. Washington got off to a fast start, taking a 16-6 lead while hitting seven of their first nine shots. Thanks to a spurt from recent DLeague refugees Othyus Jeffers and Larry Owens, they increased their lead to 44-25 four minutes into the second quarter. Only 13 straight Atlanta points by Jamal Crawford kept them somewhat close, but that was all he scored. Washington led 61-46 at halftime — with twice as many rebounds as the Hawks — 26-13.

SCOREBOARD

A 9-0 run made it 76-53 midway through the third quarter, and the Wizards outscored Atlanta 27-11 in the fourth. Washington had seven players who scored in double figures. Jianlian Yi had 15, Jeffers had 13 points and 11 rebounds, JaVale McGee 12, Owens and Maurice Evans 10 each. The last time Atlanta played here on Feb. 5, they reached a season-high 15 games over .500 after their win. Since then, they’re just 11-18, and soon after traded Evans, Jordan Crawford and Mike Bibby to the Wizards for Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong. Bibby quickly negotiated a buyout from Washington, and Crawford, who was buried on Atlanta’s bench, has flourished with the injury-ravaged Wizards. NOTES: The Hawks were missing F Josh Smith (sprained right knee) and C Jason Collins (sprained left ankle). ... Hinrich scored just three points in the first game here since the trade. The Kansas alum was amused to find a Virginia Commonwealth T-shirt hanging in his locker. VCU beat the Jayhawks in the NCAA tournament to advance to the Final Four. Wizards coach Flip Saunders volunteered that he was behind the prank. ... Owens, signed on Tuesday, played his third game for Washington — his first at home — but hasn’t yet practiced with the team. ... The Wizards won for just the third time against a team with a winning record. ... The Hawks have three four-game losing streaks this season.

Film closest new Titans coaches can get to players

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NFL lockout makes it even more difficult being a new coach with a new team in the league. Coaches can’t work with the players they have on the roster, and there’s no wooing of free agents who could fill gaping holes. So the Tennessee Titans, the NFL team that went through the final and latest coaching change, are doing all they can — watching film and prepping for the NFL draft. Coach Mike Munchak says it is strange not being around the players and spending time around them as part of the offseason program. He does know the players well from his 14 seasons with the franchise even if he can’t talk to them now. “At least I don’t have that learning curve,” Munchak said. “I’ve watched a lot more defensive tape than I’ve ever watched.” Both his coordinators are new to Tennessee with Chris Palmer busy learning the offense, while Jerry Gray is studying up on his defenders for a team trying to bounce back from a 6-10 season in 2010. Gray said they understand the process they’re going through with the lockout. “So we’re getting everything from film because we can’t talk to them. The film is kind of getting us the direction of what we think we have to draft. I think that’s really the good thing,” Gray said. The Titans are deep into their predraft visits with players who could fill big needs at either quarterback or on defense. They pick No. 8 overall and must replace Vince Young, whom they plan to release or trade once a labor deal is reached. Rusty Smith, a rookie in 2010, is the only other quarterback on the roster. A defensive tackle also is attractive to help defend the run better. Over the past week, quarterbacks like Cam Newton of Auburn, Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick and Florida State’s Christian Ponder visited Tennessee. The Titans also met with defensive tackles Nick Fairley of Auburn, Marcell Dareus of Alabama and end Da’Quan Bowers of Clemson. LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson came to Nashville, though the Titans have their starting cornerbacks Cortland Finnegan and Alterraun Verner under contract for 2011. But Munchak recently noted the value shutdown cornerback Darrelle Revis provided for the New York Jets. “The value of someone like him, who can come in and be that dominant that quickly. Yeah, he’s one of those rare corners who can come in and be a very, very high pick,” Munchak said of Peterson. Gray has the challenge of improving a defense that ranked 26th in the NFL in total yards allowed and 29th against the pass. He spoke Friday at a coaching clinic in Knoxville. “We wish we could get our guys out there and actually physically see them, but now everybody — especially on new staffs — you’re relying more on film, game film, so that gives us a chance to watch all 16 games and really be diligent there and then say, ’OK, this is what we really need to do and how we can get better,”’ Gray said. Gray said the Titans are looking at all areas in the draft, which starts April 28. Tennessee has nine draft picks after receiving two compensatory picks last month for the free agent losses of tight end Alge Crumpler and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch. Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Babin was here on a one-year deal, but the Titans aren’t sure which of their other players will wind up free agents. That group could include linebacker Stephen Tulloch, defensive end Jacob Ford and left guard Leroy Harris. “So we’re kind of looking at all the areas to see where we could get better overall,” Gray said. “You want to be cognizant of who your free agent guys are because see those guys are still there too. They can’t just up and leave, so they’re kind of in limbo, and that helps us because it’s a lot like they’re not there and they are.” ——————

Johnson, Relf lead MSU in spring game

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — On the sixth play Saturday night, Mississippi State quarterback Chris Relf finished an efficient drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Maroon team an early lead. Soon afterward, his evening was finished. That’s just how he wanted it. “That’s what I’ve been working on the entire spring — going out there and executing the first drive,” Relf said. “We went out and did that.” Relf completed 4 of 8 passes for 68 yards, with most of the highlights coming on a six-play, 65-yard touchdown drive to open the game. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound quarterback

completed all three of his passes on the drive — including a 23-yard strike to Brandon Heavens on the first play of the game — to lead the Maroon team to a 23-20 victory over the White team at Scott Field. It was a short day for several of the starters. Backup receiver Robert Johnson caught seven passes for 74 yards and a touchdown while starter Chad Bumphis caught six passes for 48 yards. “Chris (Relf) was sharp like he’s been all spring,” Mullen said. “He looked really good. We didn’t need to see him, he’s played a lot of games in this stadium and he’ll play a bunch more next season.” The game was supposed to be an even match with the Maroon and White teams selected during a coaches’ draft on Thursday. For losing, the White team must clean Scott Field’s bleachers on Sunday morning. While Mullen is comfortable with most of his skill position players, there are several starting spots up for grabs on the offensive line and at linebacker. Senior James Carmon — a converted defensive lineman — and redshirt freshman Blaine Clausell are fighting for the starting job at left tackle, which might be the Bulldogs’ biggest hole after the departure of All-SEC senior Derek Sherrod. “You don’t replace him,” Mullen said. “Sometimes that’s the biggest mistake you make as a coach — expecting someone to come in and play at Derek Sherrod’s level. That’s not going to happen ... You can’t replace him as an individual. Guys just step up.” Mullen said both Carmon and Clausell had good moments, and he didn’t expect to settle the position battle until August. While Relf is the unquestioned starter at quarterback, there is some intrigue as to who might be his backup. Sophomore Tyler Russell, who was the backup last season, completed 15 of 26 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was sacked four times. Redshirt freshman Dylan Favre, the nephew of retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre, completed 17 of 26 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for 41 yards and led the Bulldogs on their game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. Mullen said Favre had several good moments, and was pleased there was an announced crowd of 36,357 that made the atmosphere feel more realistic. “For him, just to be out on this field in this situation,” Mullen said. “Because of the crowd we had and the atmosphere, he’s had some live reps without being in a real game. Hopefully that experience helps going into next season.”

Sunday, April 10, 2011 Moving Day came from players further back. Among those struggling: Rickie Fowler shot 76, while Ricky Barnes and Alvaro Quiros struggled to 75s. Quoteworthy: “Rory is going to be a little nervous tomorrow, but the way he’s hitting it, he’s going to be very, very tough to catch,” — Day, who played with McIlroy the first three rounds.

Yankees top Red Sox, Phillies beat up on Braves

BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox highly regarded rotation keeps unraveling. Clay Buchholz became Boston’s latest starter to struggle when he allowed five runs in 3 2-3 innings on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to the New York Yankees. “They’re just a team that’s going to make you throw strikes and work the counts,” Buchholz said. “I got deep into a couple of counts with a couple of guys and I had to throw strikes. I didn’t want to walk everybody. They put the bat on the ball in a couple of situations.” Buchholz was 17-7 with a 2.33 ERA and made the AL all-star team in 2010, his first full season. This year he’s 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA. But he's not the only Boston starter having problems. In eight games, seven of them losses, starters have gotten out of the sixth inning just twice. The only solid performance was Jon Lester’s seven shutout innings at Cleveland on Thursday, but the Indians won on a squeeze bunt in the eighth against Daniel Bard. Overall, Boston’s starters are 1-5 with a 7.41 ERA while allowing 12 homers in 41 innings. “I don’t think (starters) go into a game pressing,” Boston manager Terry Francona said. “I don’t think it’s been a very good first time and a half through the rotation. ... I don’t think we’re going to pack it in.” John Lackey has lasted just 8 2-3 innings and has a 15.58 ERA in two starts. Daisuke Matsuzaka and Josh Beckett have allowed three runs in five innings in their only starts, a 5.40 ERA. Beckett faces CC Sabathia in the finale of the three-game series on Sunday night. “Everybody’s a little bit surprised,” Buchholz said. “We’re battling now trying to find ways to win games and it’s going to start with us as starters going out there and giving some innings.” Russell Martin hit two of New York’s four homers and the Yankees rebounded one day after becoming the only team to lose to the Red Sox (1-7) this season. Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano also went deep for the Yankees, who already have 18 homers through eight games. The Red Sox have allowed 19 in their eight games. David Robertson (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 per fect innings after starter Ivan Nova was lifted with one out in the fifth with the Yankees leading 7-4. The Red Sox cut their deficit to 5-4 with three runs in the fourth before Granderson hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Cano and Martin added solo shots in the sixth and seventh. Cano fell a triple short of

hitting for the cycle when he grounded out in the eighth, but went 3 for 4 and raised his batting average at Fenway Park to .465 (20 for 43) since the start of the 2010 season. The Red Sox began a 10game homestand Friday with a win after going 0-6 on the road, their worst start to a season since 0-8 in 1945. They reverted to form on Saturday.

Phillies 10, Braves 2

ATLANTA (AP) — Scott Linebrink threw one fastball past Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz was ready when the next pitch came in the same location. Ruiz hit a pinch-hit grand slam and drove in five runs, and Roy Oswalt earned his first victory over Atlanta as the Phillies rolled to a 10-2 win over the Braves on Saturday. With Brian Schneider starting behind the plate, Ruiz sat out the first six innings. He still set his career high for RBIs with his slam in the seventh and run-scoring double in the eighth. Ruiz hit the homer on an 0-2 pitch from Linebrink. “I told myself, ‘Just use your hands,’ and it was right there, the same pitch,” Ruiz said. Ruiz drove in another run with the double off Cristhian Martinez in the eighth. Five RBIs on only two atbats? “I’ll take it,” Ruiz said. Oswalt (2-0) gave up five hits and two runs, one earned, in six innings. The Braves were the only National League team Oswalt had not beaten in the regular season. With temperatures in the 80s, Oswalt wore down in a long sixth inning but said he enjoyed the heat and humidity. “With heat, you get humidity,” he said. “You can feel the ball better. You can spin the ball better.” Oswalt said he was impressed with Atlanta’s lineup, which has added second baseman Dan Uggla and rookie first baseman Freddie Freeman. “It’s a good lineup, a real good lineup,” Oswalt said. “This is a lineup that can beat you all the way down.” Oswalt and three relievers combined to allow only six hits. “We’ll take our butt-kicking today and go out and try to win the series tomorrow,” said Atlanta’s Chipper Jones. Schneider gave the Phillies a 3-2 lead with his two-run homer off Brandon Beachy (0-1) in the fourth. The Phillies had 15 hits, including eight for extra bases. “We were swinging good today,” said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. “The catchers were swinging good.” Ruiz’s first career pinchhit homer drove in Raul Ibanez, who doubled to

knock Beachy out of the game, John Mayberry and Wilson Valdez. Mayberry had a pinch-hit single off George Sherrill, who then walked Valdez. “That seventh kind of didn’t go the way we planned,” said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. Shane Victorino, who had four hits, singled off Martinez in the eighth to drive in Ruiz. Beachy is still looking for his first win after giving up seven hits and four runs in six-plus innings. The rookie right-hander has made five career starts, including three against the Phillies.

White Sox 4, Rays 2

CHICAGO (AP) — A.J. Pierzynski hit a two-run double and Phil Humber pitched a career -high six innings to lead Chicago over the sputtering Tampa Bay Rays in a game that got a little testy at the end. Felipe Lopez took exception to an inside pitch from Chris Sale in the ninth inning, then flipped his bat in the lanky left-hander’s direction after hitting a solo home run. When Lopez crossed home plate, he and Pierzynski went nose-tonose and jawed at each other for a couple of seconds, but there was no pushing or shoving. Lopez was led away by Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon as he made his way toward the dugout. Sale finished up for his first save of the season. One day after Manny Ramirez abruptly retired rather than face a 100game suspension for a second violation of baseball’s drug policy, the Rays dropped to 1-7. In his third career start and first for Chicago, Humber (1-0) allowed one run and four hits. He is filling the fifth spot in the rotation while Jake Peavy rehabs a shoulder injury. Rays starter Wade Davis (0-2) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. Roy-

als 3, Tigers 1 DETROIT (AP) — Bruce Chen allowed three hits over six impressive innings to lead Kansas City past Detroit. Wilson Betemit and Alcides Escobar drove in runs in the second inning for the Royals, and Jef f Francoeur added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The Royals’ previous four wins all came in their last at-bat, but they needed no dramatics this time with Chen (1-0) protecting the early lead. Joakim Soria pitched the ninth and allowed a two-out homer by Ryan Raburn before holding on for his second save. Phil Coke (0-2) pitched well in his first start of the season for the Tigers, allowing two runs and three hits in 6 2-3 innings.

Athletics 1, Twins 0

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Gio Gonzalez pitched six sharp innings and Oakland edged Minnesota. Gonzalez (2-0) allowed four hits with four strikeouts and two walks for the Athletics, who stranded 11 runners. Brian Fuentes ear ned his second save with 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief. Nick Blackbur n (1-1) yielded an unearned run and five hits in six innings for the Twins, who are struggling with the bats. The top four hitters in Minnesota’s lineup went a combined 1 for 15 with a single and a walk. Minnesota has scored just 21 runs in its first eight games. The only run of the game came when Kurt Suzuki scored on a throwing error by Twins shortstop Alexi Casilla in the sixth.

Brewers 6, Cubs 0

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Prince Fielder drove in four runs with a career -high three doubles, Chris Narveson pitched seven shutout innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 on Saturday

night. Narveson (1-0) struck out nine and ran his scoreless streak to 13 innings over his first two starts after working out of trouble multiple times. Fielder doubled in his first three at-bats in the first, third and fifth innings against Matt Garza (0-1) as Milwaukee built a 5-0 lead. Ryan Braun scored three runs and drove in another, and Nyjer Morgan continued his strong play since being acquired from Washington. He tripled, scored, walked with the bases loaded and made a leaping catch near the wall to keep Alfonso Soriano from an extra-base hit.

Dodgers 4, Padres 2, 11 innings

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tony Gwynn Jr. singled in the go-ahead run against his former team with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Dodgers won a game that had been suspended at 1:40 a.m. the previous night after four rain delays totaling 3 hours, 36 minutes. Gwynn, the son of Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, entered during a double switch in the bottom of the ninth. With two on in the 11th, he hit a two-strike pitch from sidearmer Pat Neshek that dropped in front of right fielder Will Venable. That brought in Juan Uribe, who was aboard on a double against Ernesto Frieri (0-1). Aaron Miles then scored on a wild pitch. Blake Hawksworth (2-0) pitched two innings for the win. Jonathan Broxton ear ned his fourth save, despite allowing a hit and a walk in the 11th inning.

Marlins 7, Astros 5

HOUSTON (AP) — Greg Dobbs homered and drove in three runs for Florida in place of Donnie Murphy, who moved to shortstop in place of injured All-Star

Hanley Ramirez. The Marlins trailed in the sixth inning before an RBI double by Mike Stanton made it 4-2. Dobbs tied it with his two-out, two-run homer that landed in the right-field bullpen. Chris Coghlan and Omar Infante both hit run-scoring doubles in the seventh before Dobbs pushed the lead to 7-4 with an RBI double in the eighth. Javier Vazquez (1-1) ear ned the win, despite allowing four runs in six innings, and Leo Nunez pitched the ninth for his third save of the season. Fernando Abad (1-1) took the loss.

Rockies 6, Pirates 4

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ty Wigginton hit a tiebreaking, three-run double in the eighth inning to keep the Rockies atop the NL West four straight days for the first time since 2006. With the bases loaded, Wigginton ripped a shot off reliever Jose Veras (0-1) and past diving third baseman Pedro Alvarez into the left-field corner. At 5-2, the Rockies have tied the 1998 team for the second-best start in franchise history. Both of Colorado’s losses have been in extra innings, including a 4-3 setback in 14 on Friday. Matt Belisle (1-0), one of eight pitchers used by Colorado manager Jim Tracy in that 5-hourplus marathon, got the win against Pittsburgh.

Mets 8, Nationals 4

NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Beltran hit two early home runs, Ike Davis hit a long two-run triple in the sixth and the Mets got several clutch hits while beating the Nationals. Chris Capuano (1-0) pitched six gutsy innings in his first start for the Mets — and first start in April since 2007 — as New York avoided losing its first two at home since 1997.

par, and another stroke. Then came the 17th, where McIlroy hooked his approach around the pines to the back of the green, then holed the slick putt that unleashed his emotions and set off the loudest roar of the day. “It was a bonus,” he said. “After I hit the tee shot, I would have just loved to walk away from that green with a 4 and moved on to the 18th tee. It was tracking the whole way and just dropped in the middle. It was great, because I had been waiting on a putt to drop all day, and for it to drop there, it was great timing.” It was the third straight day for McIlroy and Day to play in the same group. Saturday was dif ferent, though, and as both tried to get into position for a green jacket, there was a lot less chatter. “I still went out there and had fun,” Day said. “Obviously, I made a few disappointing choices. But I’m going to go out there tomorrow and I’ve got a game plan that I want to stick to. And if I can do that and hole some putts, hopefully I can try and chase them down.” Missing from the pack are the Americans. Bo Van Pelt was the low American after a 68 put him in eighth place, six shots behind. Woods was in the group seven shots behind along with 51-year-old Fred Couples and Bubba Watson. If an international player wins, it will be the first time ever that Americans did not own any of the four majors or the Ryder Cup.

Continued from Page B1

“Now that I see that I’m playing well, I sure think I can do it,” Cabrera said. The group at 8-under 208 also includes Charl Schwartzel (68), K.J. Choi (71) and Jason Day, the 23-year-old Australian who took the lead on the front nine with a long birdie on No. 5, but paid for his aggressive putting and had to settle for a 72. The challenge from Woods, who started the third round only three shots behind, never materialized. He squandered birdie chances with a fairway metal that went too long on the par-5 eighth, a 5-foot birdie putt that never had a chance on No. 9, a shocking miss for par from 2 feet on No. 11 and a three-putt par on the 15th after an amazing hook around the trees that barely cleared the water. Woods shot 74, ending his streak of 16 rounds at par or better at a major he won four times. The final hole summed up his day, perhaps the tournament, and the state of golf as it prepares for the next generation. Woods was settling over his shot in the middle of the 18th fairway when McIlroy holed his big putt on the 17th. For so many years, it was Woods who delivered big birdies that made everyone else take notice. This time, it was McIlroy who forced Woods to back off. He then hit his approach over the green and missed a 6-foot par putt, leaving him seven shots behind.

Angel Cabrera of Argentina tees off on the 17th hole during the third round of the Masters, Saturday.

“I just made nothing,” Woods said. “I hit the ball well all day. That wasn’t the problem. Take away the two three-putts there, a couple of unforced errors and it should have been a pretty good round.” McIlroy didn’t have to make any such excuses. He has made only three bogeys over three rounds, and no three-putts, always

a key at the Masters. He and Day were tied for the lead at 9 under as they made their way through Amen Corner, and McIlroy seized control on the 13th. A bold tee shot down the left side, where Rae’s Creek winds its way along the azaleas, gave McIlroy a clear shot on the green and he two-putted for a birdie. Day attacked the flag in the

back left corner and went long, into the second cut. His delicate chip rolled back toward him, he putted up the slope about 6 feet below the hole and missed the putt to make bogey. Day fell further behind as McIlroy played well beyond his 21 years. The Australian was saved on the par-5 15th when his shot came up short, but

stayed dry because the grass is not shaved as low as it normally is. He was able to get up-and-down for birdie to match another two-putt birdie by McIlroy. On the 16th, both were on the bottom shelf. Day gunned his putt about 6 feet past the hole and missed it coming back. McIlroy rolled his with better pace to pick up an easy

RUIDOSO — Leota Bradford Pfingsten died quietly in her sleep at her home in Lincoln, on March 16, 2011. She was 92 years old. Memorial services will be held in Traylor Gymnasium, Capitan Municipal Schools on Saturday, April 16, 2011, at 11 a.m. Following the service, there will be a potluck dinner. Meat, bread and beverages will be provided; please bring a side dish or a dessert. Mrs. Pfingsten was born in Alamogordo on April 19, 1918, to Fredrick Monroe Bradford and Margaret (Maggie) McNatt Bradford. Her father ran 3,000 head of angora goats on the Sweetwater Ranch around Salinas Peak in the San Andreas Mountains, in what is now White Sands Missile Range. Maggie Bradford and her children lived in Alamogordo during the school year and worked at Sweetwater Ranch during school vacations and holidays. They rode burros on the ranch. Leota’s burro was Old Johnny. She would say that she was almost raised by him! One of her favorite stories was

about the time she was riding Old Johnny across a stretch of pan rock on Salinas Mountain when he froze, stopped dead in his tracks. She yelled and kicked, but he wouldn’t move an inch. Then she noticed a rattlesnake slithering between his legs. He wouldn’t budge until it was long gone. Leota married Fred Wells (Peg) Pfingsten, of Capitan, on July 16, 1940. Peg and Leota raised cattle in the Rio Bonito Valley, on Nogal Mesa and in the Capitan Mountains for 70 years. Mrs. Pfingsten attended New Mexico State University (then, New Mexico A&M College) in Las Cruces, in the 1930s and received a Bachelor of Science degree in education with minors in English, psychology, social science, art and music from New Mexico Western University. Leota was an accomplished wood carver and rose gardener. She taught in Hondo and Capitan public schools and retired in 1978 after 38 years. Mrs. Pfingsten often said, “Of all I’ve done, I loved teaching the most. I taught second grade, and loved to see children blossoming, awakening, day by day. I used music to reach them. If they didn’t like math or spelling, I’d put it to music. Never did I meet a child I couldn’t reach with music.” Leota graced many local events with her beautiful singing voice. Leota Pfingsten was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Delta Kappa, Capitan Teachers Assn., Southeastern New Mexico Education Assn., National Education Assn., Friends of Lincoln County Museum, the PEO sisterhood, and Daughters of the American Revolution. She held local and statewide of fices in many of these organizations. She was inducted into the NEA-New Mexico Southwest District Hall of Fame and was twice named “Teacher of the Year” by the Capitan Teachers Assn. Mrs. Pfingsten was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Peg, her brother Harold Wright Bradford, and sisters, Lou Ellen Bradford Vance, Euna Bradford Putney and Freddie Lee Bradford Nickles. She is survived by a bountiful number of nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, and great-grandnieces and nephews. And by her longtime caregiver and friend Sara Gutierrez and her children, Martin and Moni-

acclaimed “Dead End.” The advent of live TV dramas boosted Lumet’s reputation. He directed the historical re-enactment program “You Are There,” hosted by Walter Cronkite. Like Arthur Penn, John Frankenheimer, Delbert Mann and other directors

of television drama’s Golden Age, he transitioned to feature filmmaking. Although Lumet was best known for his hard-bitten portrayals of urban life, his resume also includes some of the finest film adaptations of noted plays: Eugene O’Neill’s “Long

Day’s Journey into Night,” Arthur Miller’s “A View from the Bridge,” and Chekhov’s “The Sea Gull.” In 2001 he returned to his television roots, creating, writing, directing and executive-producing a cable series, “100 Centre Street.”

Filmmaker Sidney Lumet dies in Manhattan at 86

Sidney Lumet, at the 77th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles, Feb. 27, 2005.

An eminent craftsman, Lumet always referred to his more than 40 films as simple, understated “work.” Raised as an actor and molded in live television, he was a pragmatic director, eschewing ostentatious displays of style for surehanded storytelling. He rarely did more than two or three takes and usually cut “in the camera” — essentially editing while shooting — yet his efficient ways captured some of the greatest performances in American cinema: Al Pacino as Sonny Wortzik in “Dog Day Afternoon,” Peter Finch as Howard Beale in “Network,” Paul Newman as Frank Galvin in “The Verdict.” His actors, with whom he always rehearsed for at least two weeks before starting production, were nominated for 17 Oscars for their performances in his films; several, including Faye Dunaway and Ingrid Bergman, won. The director was, in four nominations, always shut out until he was given a lifetime achievement award in 2005. Lumet, 86, died early Saturday in his Manhattan home after suffering from lymphoma. He was always closely

associated with New York, where he shot many of his films, working far from Hollywood. The city was frequently a character in its own right in his films, from the crowds chanting “Attica!” on the hot city streets of “Dog Day Afternoon” to the hard lives and corruptibility of New York police officers in “Serpico,” “Prince of the City” and “Q&A.” Lumet often made films crackling with social justice. His first feature film, 1957’s “12 Angry Men,” used the plodding reason of Juror no. 8, played by Henry Fonda, to overturn the prejudices and assumptions of his follow jurors. His 1964 film “The Pawnbroker” was one of the early U.S. dramas about the Holocaust. His “FailSafe,” also from 1964, was a frightening warning on nuclear bombs. His last film was 2007’s “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.” The director was bor n June 25, 1924, in Philadelphia to a pair of Yiddish stage performers, and he began his show business career as a child actor, appearing on radio at age 4. He made his Broadway debut in 1934 with a small role in Sidney Kingsley’s

Detroit Symphony musicians ratify new contract Roswell Daily Record

DETROIT (AP) — A contentious six-month strike ef fectively ended Friday after musicians who agreed to pay cuts ratified a new contract with Detroit Symphony Orchestra management. The American Federation of Musicians finished counting votes early in the afternoon on the tentative deal reached after marathon weekend negotiations. “We are relieved that this struggle is over and we can get back on stage performing the world’s greatest music,” musicians negotiating committee chair Karl Pituch said in a statement. “But the problems which led to the strike and those who were responsible for those problems continue.” An orchestra musician who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement’s terms haven’t been released publicly told The Associated Press this week the minimum starting salary in the first year of the three-year contract will be $71,080 — $33,000 less than before. The minimum salary rises in subsequent years, ending at $74,600. The salary would be increased through an electronic media guarantee, money musicians will receive through radio and television broadcasts. That would put the minimum starting salary at about $79,000, according to the

Famed tenor delivers baby in NYC VERENA DOBNIK ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tenor Juan Diego Florez has really delivered: a host of high Cs to a worldwide audience of millions — and minutes earlier, his own baby boy in New York City. Florez helped two midwives in the birth of Leandro Florez at 12:25 p.m. on Saturday. The tenor had stayed up all night with his wife in labor at their Manhattan apartment. While they awaited the birth of their first child, the world waited for the Peruvian to sing the tenor lead in Rossini’s comic opera “Le Compte Ory” (LUH’ KAWNT’ aw-REEH’) at the nearby Metropolitan Opera — starting at 1 p.m. The baby got the cue: He bawled first. His daddy then rushed to the Met and the show went on — heard in movie theaters and on radio around the globe.

musician who spoke to the AP. An optional educational and community outreach component to the agreement also could bring each musician an extra $3,450 per year for additional work beyond the contract requirements, the musician said. “We paid a heavy price in terms of the loss of income over the last six months

and an almost 25 percent reduction in our salaries,” American Federation of Musicians Local 5 President Gordon Stump said Friday in a release. “But we were able to fend of f management proposals which would have significantly changed the very nature of the job, and would have given the managements of other orchestras the impetus to try and

gain those conditions in their orchestras.” The dispute was over how deep a pay cut the musicians would have to take to help the struggling symphony balance its budget. Management had implemented a 33 percent base pay cut in September, from $104,650 to $70,200 in the first year. Musicians had offered to take a 22

percent reduction in the first year, to $82,000, but proposed significant increases by the final year. Management put the cuts in place after declaring an impasse with the union Sept. 1. Musicians walked off the job Oct. 4. Terms of the new threeyear contract are effective from April 4, 2011 through August 31, 2014, the DSO said Friday afternoon in a

release. The financial package will help stabilize the orchestra’s economic viability, in addition to calling for the DSO to perform 36 weeks of classical, pops, and young person’s concerts each year, according to symphony management. Musicians began rehearsing Thursday in preparation for free weekend concerts.

Mass. groups cancel Gandhi event after gay links

BOSTON (AP) — Two Massachusetts groups have canceled a jointly sponsored appearance by the author of a Mahatma Gandhi biography that’s been banned in part of India, the second cancellation this month for the author. Joseph Lelyveld’s “Great Soul,” about Gandhi’s struggle for social justice and the evolution of his social values, was banned in the wester n state Gujarat in March after reviews hinted the father of the nation’s independence had a homosexual relationship. Such relationships were illegal in India until 2009 and still carry a social stigma. Lelyveld, a Pulitzer Prize winner, said Saturday the book never alleges Gandhi

was gay or bisexual. The chair man of the Indian Americans of Lexington, which was cosponsoring a planned April 29 visit by Lelyveld to the Lexington Historical Society, said he hasn’t read the book and “the author may be 100 percent correct.” But Puran Dang said his group wanted to avoid any controversy for the historical society and decided to cancel the event in a decision relayed Thursday to Lelyveld’s publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. “To avoid any controversy, with all respect to the author ... it was a decision which was jointly taken in the interest of everything being in a peaceful status,” Dang said. In a statement, Knopf said the decision to cancel

NEW YORK (AP) — Not good enough, not bad enough. Too short (50 minutes, plus a seven-minute video). But also, come to think of it, too long. Mostly, Charlie Sheen’s “My Violent Torpedo of T ruth/Defeat is Not an Option” show on Friday in New York was forgettable, other than the sting for ticketholders who paid full price to see it. (Sheen’s Torpedo of Truth: Caveat emptor!) Sure, if Charlie’s learn-asyou-go tour were long enough, he might eventually get the hang of it. His learning curve climb has doubtless raised him a few notches since his heroically disastrous opening night in Detroit a week ago — by all reports, the sort of show that is so awful that its witnesses can proudly boast of having been there. But even with improvement, Sheen wasn’t ready for New York, where he played the first of two nights (the second is Sunday). With only 20 cities total on the tour, his time is running out. The audience that filled Radio City Music Hall’s 6,000 seats seemed initially to be a welcoming bunch. They were diverse in age and attire, and, overall, rather mainstream. They were the sort of people you might see at Applebee’s celebrating a special occasion. They were a cross-section of the people who love him from “Two and a Half Men.” They were there to see Charlie for a blast, not a rumble. And in that vein, the night started promisingly. Sheen — sporting a New York Yankees jersey and cap — joined affable interviewer Joey Scoleri on stage with no warmup act or other delaying tactic. The Sheendanistas, many loosened up already from the lobby’s cash bars, gave him a standing ovation. In a flash, a chain-smoking Sheen was sharing colorful stories, most of them centered on women, drugs and money, most of them self-worshipping, and all of them laced liberally with F-bomb modifiers. First topic: hotels. He recalled a less flush, less winning time when he was staying at Manhattan’s tatty Chelsea Hotel. Two things happened that night, he said: “I had a dream that I invented Scotch tape. And I performed CPR on a supermodel in a heroin coma. “She was in the coma, not me,” he added as a Borscht Belt-worthy aside. Another Manhattan hotel story: his notorious night last fall at the Plaza Hotel, where Sheen trashed his suite in a drug-induced frenzy after returning there with his dinner date, an adult-film actress. “The trouble all started,” Sheen grinned mischievously, “when she followed me up to my room.” Pause for comic effect. “Maybe, I invit-

ed her. But it’s my ... story.” Cued with questions from sidekick Scoleri, Sheen’s bad-boy-and-loving-it schtick found a receptive audience. After all, in recent weeks he has emerged as the most popular noisemaker since the Whoopee cushion. At his best — when he’s playing the role of all-powerful “Charlie Sheen” for laughs — he is an amusing, rousing mash-up of William S. Burroughs, Rush Limbaugh and Tony Robbins, sprinkled with a heavy dose of angel dust. At his prompting, the crowd heartily agreed that they, like him, were winning. They cheered at his stock references to tiger blood and Adonis DNA. They hailed his stated motivation as an actor: “thousands of chicks and tons of cash.” But attention and material (the crowd’s and Sheen’s) were wearing thin by the time Scoleri asked one question too many about Sheen’s film career. someone “Borrring,” called out. And when Sheen was about to talk about his kids, another audience member erupted, “We don’t want to hear about that.” What beg-an as supportive yelps and squeals had grown into an inattentive hubbub. To his credit, Sheen was unfazed by the heckling, though he wondered aloud why people don’t plan better. Like, plan to “drink less and not yell at the guy you’ve been waiting six weeks to see.” At the 45-minute mark, Sheen and Scoleri took a break while his video, “Charlie Sheen Unedited,” (already viewed on YouTube more than 1.3 million times) unreeled. Returning to the stage, Sheen hurriedly introduced his two “goddesses,” the by-now-famous former porn star, Rachel Oberlin, and actress, Natalie Kenley, who live with him. Then talk finally turned to “Two and a Half Men.” As if he had never thought to mention it before, Sheen noted that he hadn’t quit the CBS sitcom but was fired from it. And of course he wants to come back to it, he declared, also not for the first time. Why wouldn’t he? It’s “the greatest sitcom ever — EVER,” he explained, an overblown assessment received by his wearying flock with a smattering of boos. By then, Sheen had crossed over from comedy to preaching and the audience just wasn’t in the mood. Maybe sensing that the crowd was about to turn, Scoleri said the night would end with Sheen disclosing items from his personal “bucket list.” The aisles began to fill with people startled at the concert’s brevity yet all too willing to make for the exits.

Review: Charlie Sheen disappoints with NYC show

Early this month, an educational organization in Santa Clara, Calif., the Foundation for Excellence, canceled an appearance by Lelyveld, also citing a desire to avoid controversy. The foundation provides scholarships for students in India.

the event was “based on misinformation, not facts.” “Mr. Lelyveld is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and it is their organization’s great loss that their members will be denied an opportunity to hear him,” the statement read. A telephone call and an email to the historical society on Saturday weren’t immediately returned. Early this month, an educational organization in Santa Clara, Calif., the Foundation for Excellence, canceled an appearance by

Lelyveld, also citing a desire to avoid controversy. The foundation provides scholarships for students in India. Lelyveld’s new book, “Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India,” has not been released in India but was banned in Gujarat after several reviews described Gandhi’s relationship with a Ger man man named Her mann Kallenbach, including a letter to Kallenbach that read, “How completely you have taken possession of my

Roswell Daily Record

body. This is slavery with a vengeance.” But Lelyveld said the controversy centers around three paragraphs out of about a dozen pages about the relationship that also describe both men’s commitments to celibacy, which Lelyveld believes the men kept. Dang said his group met recently amid the tumult caused by the reviews and made the decision to call off Lelyveld’s appearance. The email from the historical society to Knopf cited the Indian Americans of Lexington’s concer ns about “the content of the Gandhi biography” in its decision to withdraw sponsorship. But Dang said it was all about avoiding any problems, though he said there had been no indica-

tion of any trouble at the Lexington event. “We just took this innocent decision to make it smooth,” he said. “Nothing more.” Lelyveld, a former executive editor of The New York T imes, wryly referred to the group’s position as “a very courageous stand.” Lelyveld, who won a general nonfiction Pulitzer for “Move Your Shadow: South Africa, Black and White” in 1986, has made several appearances related to his Gandhi book this month without incident, including in New York, Boston and Washington, D.C. “It’s not a universal reaction,” he said. “I just think it created a small tempest and those who want to stay away can stay away.”

The Sweet Leilani's dance troupe practice their routine, Thursday. The nonprofit dance troupe will perform at a Luau Party at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, Saturday evening.

JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER Roswell’s Sweet Leilani’s dance troupe, a nonprofit organization, contributes to the community through artistic cultural dance, by passing “on the Aloha spirit and the love and appreciation of the Hawaiian and other Polynesian cultures.” “We do Hawaiian dance, and we also do Filipino dance,” Mary Hart, dance director, said. “We are an inter national group because we have a variation of cultures and backgrounds, which reflects the cultures that we have in an all-American city, here in Roswell.” The group performs at many venues throughout the state including the State Tourism Conference, UFO Festival, Habitat for Humanity, ILEA events and Southeastern New Mexico State Fair parade. “We’re also extraterrestrial because we have participated several years in the UFO Festival as greeters, entertainers and also in the UFO costume contest,” dancer, Emma Arzola, said. The group has also been involved with Adopt-A-Soldier, CASA, Lend-A-Hand food bank, New Mexico Military Institute Pacific Islanders Club, Roswell Adult and Senior Center and Spring River Zoo. Sweet Leilani’s diversity is encompassed in its representation— ladies from various cultures and professions, who “treasure the friendships and mutual respect that embraces our journey.” Suz White shares her experience with Sweet Leilani’s. “The reason why I joined ... is I enjoy the whole group and performing for the community,” she said. “And to know how to

respect all that kind of ritual of dances and flowers. I’m so proud of being in the Sweet Leilani’s group, and I will continue this as long as I can, from the bottom of my heart.” Mary Higginbotham said dancing with the Sweet Leilani’s started her on a “hula journey” that has taken her to Hawaii. “I have been lucky to be accepted to study with Kuma hula Mapuana de Silva in Hawaii,” she said. “It is a six-year program of traditional hula with the goal of graduating as an accomplished dancer, with knowledge of genealogy, chants, history and using traditional instruments. Women and men from several different countries are now my hula sisters and hula brothers.” There are various types of hula dance. The more traditional hula is called Ai Kahiko. “A lot of the hula that people in the westernized world is familiar with is the happa haole type of hula,” Arzola said. By incorporating traditional Hawaiian values, Sweet Leilani’s aspires to provide a positive environment that promotes the journey of learning, sharing, performing and respecting traditions in supporting the community. On April 16, the group will hold a Luau Party at Roswell Convention and Civic Center, 912 N. Main St., from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the convention center and RASC, 807 N. Missouri Ave., for $10. Local musician Tom Blake will be performing throughout the evening.

Adoption a deeply rewarding choice for many parents

QUESTION: My wife and I have a 2-year-old of our own, but now we’re considering adopting another child. Frankly, we can’t decide if we should pursue it or if we’re simply setting ourselves up for a lot of stress and heartache. Jim: Adoption is a major undertaking, and there are many things to consider, as you well know. But with planning and a lot of prayer, it can be a beautiful thing. Dr. Debi Grebenik is a licensed social worker and the executive director of a foster care and adoption agency. Her years in the field have led her to identify several traits of successful adoptive families. First, according to Dr. Grebenik, the adoption journey begins with a commitment for life. In many ways, adoption is similar to marriage — it calls for love and understanding in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer. There will be unforeseen detours, mountaintop experiences and challenges along the way. But adoptive parents who begin the process with this rock-solid commitment are more likely to see it through. In addition, adoptive parents, just like all parents, must be prepared to love their child unconditionally. You probably already know that some kids have deep emotional wounds after spending years in foster care. They may display manipulation, defiance, aggression, depression and other challenging behaviors. A parent’s unconditional love may be the only lifeline they have as they emerge from an unstable environment and learn what it means to be part of a permanent, stable family for the first time in their lives.

Tips on traveling to London for royal wedding NEW YORK (AP) — Diane Morton will soon be flying from Florida, where she lives, to London, to be in the city when the royal wedding takes place. She hasn’t researched the procession route, and she may or may not try to stake out a spot to catch a glimpse of the carriage carrying Prince William and his bride Kate Middleton. But she just wants to be in London when it happens. “Even if we don’t see anything, it’s OK just to be there, and be part of the hoopla,” said Morton, 67, of Parkland, Fla., who will be traveling with her partner, Donald Ammons. “We enjoy London. It’s a fun place to be, and we have a couple of good friends there. If we are lucky, maybe we’ll get a glimpse of Kate in the carriage afterwards.” Morton is one of 600,000 additional people who are expected to be in London when the royal wedding takes place April 29, according to estimates from London + Partners, the city’s official tourism body. Those deter mined to wake up early and stand for hours along the procession route in hopes of seeing the royals in person may get their wish. But tourism experts say there are many other ways to experience the event, from street parties to watching it on giant screens to toasting the happy couple in a pub.

grandparents a wonderful outlet to love and invest in their grandkids, as retirement often allows for more time. And it would give you, as a busy mom, another set of arms to help with cooking, homework and loving. There are, however, some potential problems that you want to investigate before making the decision to move in with your parents. Many of these relate to boundaries and expectations. For example, how much would your parents like you to contribute financially? What expectations do they have regarding keeping the house clean, bedtimes and whether or not they are full-time babysitters for your kids? To what extent do they have the authority to discipline your children? What if they disagree with your parenting style? What if they don't approve of other choices you make for your family? How will you resolve these conflicts? However stressful these conversations may be to initiate, they are absolutely essential to confirming whether or not moving in with your parents is a good idea. Do the work up front to avoid creating a situation that could eventually end up destroying your relationship with your parents. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

A century-old hobby: Civil War 150th is a lifetime event for re-enactors

Civil War Union re-enactors fire their weapons in February in Aiken, S.C. on the field where the Battle of Aiken is re-enacted each year.

FORT SUMTER NATIONAL MONUMENT, S.C. (AP) — For thousands of Civil War re-enactors, the next four years are a chance to capitalize on the public’s curiosity about a century-old hobby that demands such attention to detail that the fights seem almost real. The die-hards converging soon at the site where the War Between the States began 150 years ago with a Confederate artillery barrage on Union-held Fort Sumter can’t wait to help others understand why they spend weekends tramping through the rain, sleeping in tents in snow-covered fields, cooking on open campfires and enduring mock battles in wool coats under the hot Southern sun. They’re expecting a surge of interest in a pastime that

has roots at the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1913, when Confederate veterans retraced Pickett’s Charge. Re-enacting took hold for good five decades ago during the Civil War’s centennial. “The 150th cycle is going to be great. It’s going to bring us some new re-enactors and it’s going to bring a lot of attention and publicity,” said Reece Sexton, publisher of the Civil War Courier newspaper and two companion magazines considered bibles by enthusiasts. “The hobby is not going to die. It does need some new blood.” There is no nationwide association for re-enactors, but Sexton estimates as many as 50,000 take part at least

occasionally. An estimated 1,000 re-enactors will be in Charleston, S.C., for the festivities surrounding the April 12, 1861 attack on Fort Sumter, the first shots of the war. Organizers will explode a starburst shell over the fort, signaling re-enactors manning some 30 cannons ringing the harbor to begin a 30-minute barrage. Sexton expects up to 12,000 re-enactors in Virginia for the 150th anniversary of Bull Run, the first major battle of the war, in July. But the capstone will come in 2013, when the Gettysburg anniversary could draw as many as 25,000 re-enactors and four times that many spectators to the fields of Pennsylvania. There are re-enactments yearly of many major Civil War battles and of numerous smaller skirmishes at locations near the battlefields. None is permitted on the actual battlegrounds. But the next four years will be special. “Among a lot of re-enactors I’m talking to, this is it. This is the anniversary they have been waiting for,” said George Wunderlich, a re-enactor and executive director of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, Md. Interest in re-enacting has ebbed and flowed over the decades. “You get the Ken Burns series on the Civil War coming out and everyone wants to be a re-enactor. Then it ebbed.” said Mike Stivers of Summerville, S.C., who has been reenacting more than 10 years. There was renewed interest in the early 2000s when the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was raised and “now with the 150th, you’re going to have another resurgence,” Stivers said. The 150th anniversary will expose even more people to the war, just as the centennial was a chance to educate young people half a century ago, said Katie Lawhon, a spokeswoman for Gettysburg National Military Park.

Jose Andres: DC Ambassador of food FEATURE

Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jose Andres is moving from small plates to big ideas. The Washington chef best known for popularizing tapas — the Spanish custom of dining on small, shared dishes — has been not so quietly refocusing, keeping one eye on the kitchens of his growing restaurant empire, and the other on the policies and politics that underpin so much of what and how we eat. It’s a duality he hopes more chefs will embrace. “When we are trying to come up with new health laws, you bring doctors, you bring experts in medicine. In urban planning, you bring the best architects,” Andres said in a recent interview. “How it is possible that when we are talking about the way we are going to feed America, no chef shows up in the room?” Increasingly, he does. Working political connections he has cultivated for nearly 20 years as a Washington restaurateur, Andres regularly lobbies friends in Congress and members of President Barack Obama’s cabinet, visiting their offices or chatting while they dine in his restaurants. Sometimes he sits in on congressional hearings just to listen. Andres has spoken up on

school lunch standards, childhood obesity, hunger, subsidies for agribusiness and food marketing. He’s befuddled by NBA player endorsements for fast food while the league promotes nutrition. But he’s pragmatic: parents have a responsibility for kids’ diets, too. Food issues are complex and connected, he said. Hunger and obesity go hand in hand with food costs and eating habits. “To me, what I’m interested in, in the end, is the meaning of food in our lives,” he said. But he doubts he’ll have an impact until more people join in. Andres’ timing is good, though, because the White House has made food policy a hot topic. First lady Michelle Obama has been particularly focused on obesity, and even planted a garden at the White House to help promote healthy eating. Sam Kass, a chef who came to the White House with the Obamas, says Andres is a friend who represents the changing role of chefs. “Chefs have a critical role in guarding their customers’ health, both inside and outside the kitchen,” said Kass, who has worked with the first lady on her antiobesity camp aign. “There are a number of chefs who

Chef Jose Andres in his Minibar restaurant in Washington, March 15.. Andres is quickly becoming Washington’s food ambassador to the rest of the country. His popular restaurants have helped develop new hot spots for cuisine in the nation’s capital.

Diners in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Maryland and Virginia are familiar with Andres’ work. His company, Think Food Group, has opened nine restaurants, employs 800 people and anticipates revenue this year of more than $70 million as it serves 1.5 million meals. And there are plans for future creations in Washington, Miami, Puerto Rico, possibly Paris. “We hired Jose when he was a kid, then made him a partner in the business ... and now I work for him,” said Rob Wilder, Think Food’s CEO. “Now we talk about changing the world through the power of food.” Friends say Andres is a whirlwind of activity, juggling restaurants and politicking with managing book projects and his PBS show, “Made in Spain.” On a recent visit to Jaleo, Andres met with makers of a pressure cooker that could be used in solar-powered kitchens during a humanitarian crisis. After visiting earthquake ravaged Haiti, last year he created a nonprofit called World Central Kitchen to help feed people in countries suffering a crisis or food shortage. In Washington, Andres volunteers with D.C. Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that recycles unused restaurant food into meals

are doing that, but Jose is among the most passionate and vocal.” Andres arrived from Spain 20 years ago. He grew up near Barcelona and trained under renowned chef Ferran Adria at the famous restaurant elBulli — but never finished his formal schooling. He worked random jobs at first, but in 1993 was hired at age 23 by two Washington restaurateurs who wanted to create something new in a city long dismissed from the ranks of fine dining. “We want to open the

best tapas restaurant, not in D.C., not in the U.S., but how about the world?” he told his bosses of the idea for Jaleo, a Spanish restaurant offering a broad menu of small dishes with moderate prices. So Andres concocted a menu to tell stories from his childhood and from oldworld Spain. He rejected notions that Americans wouldn’t like small plates. Now the eatery that began on an abandoned downtown block has multiplied. He replicated Jaleo’s model with Mexican, Turkish, Greek and Chinese flavors.

mum salary rises in subsequent years, ending at $74,600. The salary would be increased through an electronic media guarantee, money musicians will receive through radio and television broadcasts.

An optional educational and community outreach component to the agreement also could bring each musician an extra

(AP) —“Periodic Tales: A Cultural History of the Elements, From Arsenic to Zinc” (Ecco), by Hugh Aldersey-Williams. Some people collect coins or baseball cards. Others collect stamps or Pez dispensers. Hugh AlderseyWilliams collects the building blocks of the universe. Aldersey-Williams has been trying to collect pure samples of every element known to humankind — from the common to the rare, the inert to the lethal. His quest sprang from a simple desire: to see and feel the elements that otherwise seem to exist only as abbreviations on the periodic table. The author’s scientific sentimentality may be unusual. But he makes it easy to share his passion with his latest book, the

charming “Periodic Tales: A Cultural History of the Elements, From Arsenic to Zinc.” Few people give elements a second thought outside of chemistry class, but each one has an interesting story. The quest for gold drove some cultures to explore the world, while other cultures dismissed it as useless. Platinum is as plentiful as gold but it’s more valuable because of artificially created demand. And chlorine changed the way nations waged war. In this context, the elements are surprisingly fascinating. Aldersey-Williams writes about how each element was discovered, explains its place in human history and describes the cultural changes it wrought. The vignettes are inter-

esting and eloquently written. The only drawback is quantity — with more than 100 elements, it’s hard to keep some of the stories straight. Aldersey-Williams eases the jour ney by avoiding complex language. Readers won’t need a strong science background to appreciate the stories. A number of interesting patterns emerge throughout the book. For example, discoveries of new elements typically captured the public’s imagination at first. People were easily convinced that the new element had therapeutic benefit, and entrepreneurs would try to capitalize by adding the element — or at least its name — to their products. Over time, as scientists found side effects associat-

Andres leads the charity’s top fundraiser each year. “Jose talks a lot about opportunity, giving people opportunity,” said the charity’s CEO, Mike Curtin. He said Andres has done the same with his staff. For a new Jaleo spot in Las Vegas, Andres chose Rodolfo Guzman — a former construction worker who laid tile for the original Jaleo kitchen 18 years ago — as head chef after teaching him for more than a decade. After teaching a popular course last year on culinary physics at Harvard University, he also is talking with George Washington University about creating a food institute with a curriculum spanning science, business and international relations. A research center for food policy, he said, could level the playing field with lobbyists from agribusiness. “I cannot wait to see the day that one day we will have a chef that will become the secretary of food of the United States of America,” he said. “With all due respect to (Agriculture Secretary) Tom Vilsack, food is so much more important than far ming itself.”

Detroit Symphony musicians ratify new contract DETROIT (AP) — A contentious six-month strike effectively ended Friday after musicians who agreed to pay cuts ratified a new contract with Detroit Symphony Orchestra management. The American Federation of Musicians finished counting votes early in the afternoon on the tentative deal reached after marathon weekend negotiations. “We are relieved that this struggle is over and we can get back on stage per for ming the world’s

greatest music,” musicians negotiating committee chair Karl Pituch said in a statement. “But the problems which led to the strike and those who were responsible for those problems continue.” An orchestra musician who spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement’s terms haven’t been released publicly told The Associated Press this week the minimum starting salary in the first year of the three-year contract will be $71,080 — $33,000 less than before. The mini-

agements of other orchestras the impetus to try and gain those conditions in their orchestras.” The dispute was over how deep a pay cut the musicians would have to take to help the struggling symphony balance its budget. Management had implemented a 33 percent base pay cut in September, from $104,650 to $70,200 in the first year. Musicians had offered to take a 22 percent reduction in the first year, to $82,000, but proposed significant

increases by the final year. Management put the cuts in place after declaring an impasse with the union Sept. 1. Musicians walked off the job Oct. 4. Detroit Symphony Orchestra management was expected to release a statement on the contract vote later Friday, spokeswoman Elizabeth Weigandt said. Musicians began rehearsing Thursday in preparation for free weekend concerts.

ed with the elements, the substances would be phased out and the excitement would subside. The best part of the book is the author’s evident passion. For example, after reading about an alchemist who extracted faintly glowing phosphorus from human urine, AlderseyWilliams tries to duplicate the feat. It’s not often that story about urine is so gripping. “Periodic Tales” is a relatively quick read, and Aldersey-Williams writes with simplicity and elegance. The stories may not help you on your next chemistry test, but they’ll help you appreciate the building blocks that are all around us yet all too easy to overlook.

Jury wastes little time acquitting Cuban militant

AP Photo

Cuban militant Luis Posada Carriles speaks during a news conference in El Paso, Texas, Friday.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — During an 11-week trial that featured a seemingly endless parade of 24 witnesses, federal prosecutors meticulously presented the U.S. government’s case against an elderly ex-CIA agent from Cuba accused of lying during immigration hearings. Yet it took a Texas jury barely three hours Friday to shrug all that off and exonerate 83-yearold Luis Posada Carriles of all 11 counts. Posada spent much of his life working to destabilize communist

governments throughout Latin America and was often supported by Washington. He is Public Enemy No. 1 in his homeland, and even considered ex-President Fidel Castro’s personal nemesis. But shortly after leaving the courthouse, Posada told reporters that his days of promoting regime-change in Cuba are behind him. “I see liberty at the end of my life. I have no aspirations in Cuba, expect maybe to see the beaches,” he said. “I hope the Lord gives me a few more years

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

so I can see them again.” “This trial was not a vindication of any kind of violence toward Cuba,” added his lead attorney, Miami-based Arturo Hernandez. “This trial was a statement of whether or not the government had proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Posada Carriles had lied.” After their verdict, jurors were escorted out a backdoor and whisked away in a court van. What moved them to acquit so quickly was not clear. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Reardon said only that “we respect the jury’s decision.” Faced with international pressure and its own stated hardline stance against terrorism, the U.S. government has been seeking to convict Posada for years. But its cases against him have always relied — rather ironically — on charging a former spy with lying. Posada participated indirectly in the Bay of Pigs invasion and was a CIA operative until 1976. That same year, he moved to Venezuela and was arrested for planning the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people. But he was acquitted by a military tribunal, then escaped from prison while still facing a civilian trial. In the 1980s, Posada helped the U.S. funnel support to Nicaraguan Contra rebels, and in

Roswell Daily Record

2000, was arrested in Panama amid a plot to kill Castro during a summit there. He was pardoned in 2004. Posada sneaked into the U.S. the following March and underwent naturalization hearings in El Paso. He was placed in immigration detention and accused of lying while under oath during those proceedings about how he reached U.S. soil, facing immigration fraud and perjury charges when his first trial opened in El Paso in 2007. But U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone freed Posada and threw that case out, chastising the government for using Posada’s hearing as a pretext to build a criminal case against him. Her decision was overturned on appeal, however, and the case returned to Cardone’s court. Prosecutors added four additional charges, three of them obstruction, alleging that Posada further lied during the immigration hearings about masterminding of a wave of 1997 bombings at Cuban tourist sites that killed an Italian tourist and wounded about a dozen other people. During a 1998 interview with The New York Times, Posada was quoted as saying he planned the bombings and clarified that they were meant to hurt tourism in Cuba, but not kill anyone. His new trial opened before

Cardone on Jan. 10 and saw prosecutors call a long line of witnesses, including Ann Louise Bardach, who interviewed Posada for the Times. Compelled to testify by subpoena, she said Posada granted the interview because he was angry that the bombings hadn’t garnered much attention from the U.S. press. Bardach said the jury heard only about two of her six hours of taped interviews with Posada — and even those were heavily edited by court officials. “It doesn’t seem quite right to link our tapes to the verdict,” she said. Cuba and Venezuela would like to try Posada for the 1997 hotel bombings or the downing of the 1976 airliner, but a U.S. immigration judge has previously ruled that he can’t be sent to either country, for fear he could be tortured. He has escaped deportation elsewhere since no other nation is willing to take him. Jose Pertierra, the Washingtonbased lawyer representing Venezuela in its case against Posada, sat through every day of his trial. He said he hopes the U.S. now heeds Venezuela’s call to send Posada to that country to face 76 counts of murder. “The theater was worth more than the evidence in this case,” Pertierra said.

World stumbles toward climate summit U.N.

fails to narrow agenda for 2011 climate change summit

Ball State University football player Jamill Smith takes part in the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event, Thursday, in Muncie, Ind. The international men’s walk is designed to bring attention to rape, sexual assault and gender issues of women.

BANGKOK (AP) — Nineteen years after the world started to take climate change seriously, delegates from around the globe spent five days talking about what they will talk about at a year-end conference in South Africa. They agreed to talk about their opposing viewpoints. Delegates from 173 nations did agree that delays in averting global warming merely fast-forward the risk of plunging the world into “catastrophe.” The delegate from Bolivia noted that the international ef fort, which began with a 1992 U.N. convention, has so far amounted to “throwing water on a forest fire.” But the U.N. meeting in Bangkok, which concluded late Friday after delegates cobbled together a broad agenda for the December summit, failed to narrow the deep divisions between the developing world and the camp of industrialized nations led by the United States. These may come to plague the summit in Dur-

ban. Generally, developing nations, pointing to the industrialized world as the main culprit behind global warning, want an international treaty that would legally bind countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Washington and others reject it, focusing instead on building on the modest decisions made at last December’s summit in Cancun, Mexico. The Durban agenda calls for discussion on both viewpoints. “I believe that we now have a solid basis to move forward collectively and that gover nments can deliver further good results this year, provided every effort is made to compromise,” the U.N.’s top climate change official Christiana Figueres said. She expressed regret that the road to Durban is proving a slow one. Although the Bangkok conference was not geared to tackle the core issues, some movement was at least expected in implementing decisions reached at Cancun. These included the formation of a multibillion-dollar Green Climate Fund to aid developing nations obtain clean-energy technology, setting up a global structure for these nations to obtain patented

technology for clean energy and climate adaptation and rounding out a plan to compensate poorer nations for protecting their climatefriendly forests. Some deadlines for accomplishing these have already passed and it appears little of substance was accomplished in Bangkok, with that work being passed on to the next meeting set for June in Bonn, Germany. Although also not a pledging session, there was no indication that nations were prepared, in U.N. parlance, to “raise their ambitions,” or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases above earlier pledges. The current total pledges are deemed by the United Nations to fall way short of cuts required to keep temperatures rising more than 3.8 F above preindustrial levels—an agreement reached in Cancun by 193 countries. “We have regrettably spent the entire week negotiating the agenda,” said Dessima Williams from the Caribbean island of Grenada. “This is unacceptable, and especially so for small islands who are running out of time if we are to avoid damage from rising sea levels and other climate change impacts. We cannot go on negotiating forever.”

SC teen killed on highway named in father’s memory

WELLFORD, S.C. (AP) — Aaron Hill knew the road well, and not just because it was the route he took to high school every day. The five-mile stretch of highway was named in memory of his father, a soldier killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2008. But on his way to class Thursday mor ning, the 18-year -old senior was killed when a pickup truck crossed the center line and smashed head-on into his car, authorities said. Now the Hill family — and many others in this town of nearly 2,300 — are grieving again. “It’s tragic. No one should have to go through this. They’ve been through so much,” said Sherif f Chuck Wright, a friend of the family. “It’s just unreal that he died on the same highway named after his father.” The younger Hill was

going to graduate in a few months and had talked about joining the military just like his father. “Even after his father’s death, he kept a positive attitude. He kept that smile,” the sheriff said. The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene along the section of twolane Highway 129 known as the Sergeant Shawn F. Hill Memorial Highway. The driver of the pickup, Michael Blake White, 27, was taken to the hospital along with three students who had been in Hill’s car. Their conditions were not released. The cause of the crash was under investigation, and no immediate charges were filed. But state officials said White did not have a valid license, having lost it nearly a year ago for too many violations. He had been issued 14 tickets since 2003, most of them

for speeding. White was driving home after working the over night shift at an auto parts factory, according to his father. “He really doesn’t remember it, but he was

torn up when we told him what happened,” Michael White said. He said his son was badly hurt and was in the intensive care unit. Hill’s friends from 2,200-student Byr nes High School held hands

and cried at the scene of the accident and erected a memorial to “A-Rod” consisting of flowers, candles and three crosses painted green and orange, because he was a University of Miami fan.

DEAR ABBY: For years I have wondered about this every time I have gone to a funeral and have ridden in the procession to the cemetery. As the procession travels to the cemetery, all cars and trucks pull over and stop. That custom strikes me as very touching. I was in another procession last week, and even the UPS truck and several semis pulled over. My question is, is this a custom only in southern Indiana where I live, or does everyone do this?

DEAR WONDERING: According to Emily Post, this consideration should be accorded regardless of where people live. She writes: “If you encounter a funeral cortege (signaled by a line of cars with headlights or flashing hazard lights on), it’s respectful to pull over to the side of the street until the cars have passed. Waiting at a green light while a cortege passes is also expected, even if someone behind you is honking to proceed.”

DEAR KEPT AWAY: If Charlene has family and you know how to contact them, do so. Outline your concern that their relative has gained so much weight she’s gone into hiding — and hope they can convince her to seek help. Other than that, there’s no way to force direct contact on someone who doesn’t want to see you. However, you should continue to be a supportive telephone friend. She may need all the emotional support she will allow.

Dear Heloise: I had trouble with bra straps sliding off my shoulders, so I sewed about 6 inches of elastic to the back of the straps. It’s a little funny to slip a bra over your head, but it is very comfortable. You might have to lengthen the straps a little. B.C. in Pennsylvania B.C., an ingenious hint, but may I point out if the straps keep falling off, the bra may be past its life or the wrong size? Ladies, you deserve good support! If the bra is stretched out, the straps are hopeless or it just plain does not fit worth a darn, toss it! Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have a technique for cleaning lint out of my hair-dryer screen. Take an old blush brush and use it to clean out the little holes caked with lint. Dee Dee, via email

Texas Gov: State drivers should think electric

AP Photo

A Nissan Leaf is charged during a demo at the first ever quick charge electric vehicle charging station in the state of Texas, located at the Walgreens at Beltline and Monfort, which was unveiled in Dallas on Friday.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — In a state where the oil and gas industry is king, the arrival of electric vehicles and building the charging infrastructure have jolted the public’s perception about Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said Friday. “Here in Texas, we don’t just talk about it. We’re doing something about it,” Perry said in Arlington at an energy company’s event, later joking that most people probably would not have associated Texas with emission-free vehicles. But it’s “what they should have been thinking,” he said. Texas already has dozens of charging stations in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and some suburbs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center. Drivers can plug their cars into docking stations at various places — including Houston City Hall, a hotel near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a San Antonio Church and even the Dell Computers headquarters near Austin. All electric cars can be charged at those slower charging stations that add power in about four to eight hours, depending on the size and life left in the battery, industry officials said. But electric cars are still fairly new, and some attribute slow sales to the vehicles’ high costs and use limited to short trips. On Friday, NRG Energy said its

new station at a drug store in Dallas is the state’s first fast-charging station, which can be used by some of the vehicles and has a recharger with a 480-volt direct current that can add 30 miles of range to an electric car in as few as 10 minutes. NRG plans to install 70 of the stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and another 50 in the Houston area by the end of next year, a privately funded project with AeroVironment, which designed and produced the charging stations. “It’s not like you’re going to Walgreens and spend eight hours, but when you leave you’re more charged,” said Kristen Helsel, a vice president at AeroVironment. NRG’s chief executive David Crane said that while Texas is known as the oil and gas capital, “There’s nothing that was announced today that’s going to change that ... and that’s not all that Texas is. Now it’s time for electric vehicles.” The Lone Star State is joining the rest of the nation in promoting the adoption of electric vehicles — especially as the national average for regular unleaded gasoline rose to $3.71 a gallon over the past week, according to AAA. Also in Houston, the city has its own program through a partnership with Reliant Energy. Ten charging stations have been up and running for about a year, and 25 more are being installed, said Laura Spanjian, the city’s sustainability direc-

tor. Houston also is buying electric cars for the city’s fleet and has received federal stimulus money for another 30 charging stations to serve those municipal vehicles, she said. The first, a Nissan Leaf, is expected to arrive in the next week or two. “We would have the first electric car of any city fleet in Texas,” Spanjian said. Austin was one of nine cities that benefitted from a federal program that enables the city to get up to 200 charging stations, as long as they install 100 by the end of this summer. The city has already put in about a dozen, said Carlos Cordova, spokesman for Austin Energy, the city-owned electric utility. He said Austin is predicting there will be about 150 electric vehicles on city roads this year and maybe another 150 next year — but up to 36,000 electric vehicles by 2020. “It will develop slowly,” Cordova said, noting that projections are based on research conducted by the Electric Power Research Institute. Some cities and states of fer rebates to encourage buying electric vehicles Those displayed at the Arlington Convention Center on Friday were the Toyota Prius PHV, Chevrolet Volt, VIA Truck, Tesla Roadster, Smart fortwo EV, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Nissan Leaf.

Banks in Ill., Nev. fail

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators have shut down small banks in Illinois and Nevada, lifting the number of U.S. bank failures so far this year to 28 after 157 succumbed in 2010 to the gutted economy and mounting bad loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has seized Western Springs National Bank and Trust, in Western Springs, Ill., with $186.8 million in assets and $181.9 million in deposits. It also has closed Las Vegas-based Nevada Commerce Bank, with $144.9 million in assets and $136.4 million in deposits. Heartland Bank and Trust Co., based in Bloomington, Ill., will assume the assets and deposits of Western Springs National Bank. Los Angeles-based City National Bank is assuming the assets and deposits of Nevada Commerce Bank.

Sharp stops making big LCD panels after quake

TOKYO (AP) — Sharp Corp. has suspended domestic production of large-sized LCD panels because of a shortfall of industrial gas after a massive earthquake and tsunami. The Osaka-based company is one of the world’s largest makers of LCD TVs and panels. Spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama says the company has decided to focus on making smaller panel— under 10 inches— because it has a stockpile of larger ones. Nakayama said Saturday that production had already halted at the two factories in Japan where the bigger panels are made. She would not specify when it stopped but said it was expected to resume in early May.

EU finance ministers defend austerity

GODOLLO, Hungary (AP) — European finance ministers are defending painful austerity measures as a necessary means to defeat the region’s crippling debt crisis. Their meeting just outside Budapest Saturday will be followed by large union protests against a recent deal to crack down on uncompetitive salary increases and unsustainable pension systems. Spanish Finance Minister Elena Salgado said cuts “are necessary because we need to grow and grow better and reduce our deficit to be able to continue paying for the state of wellbeing.”

CA trial wraps up in spat over Bratz copyright Complex case has

dragged on for 6 years

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A doll designer conceived and began developing the popular, multi-billion dollar Bratz doll line while working for toy giant Mattel Inc. before taking the idea to a relatively new company that went on to build a thriving, competitive business with the dolls, an attor ney for Mattel told jurors Friday. The allegation came during closing arguments in

the three-month federal copyright infringement and trade secrets trial pitting Mattel against Los Angelesbased MGA Entertainment Inc., which exploded onto the toy scene in 2001 with the hip hop-inspired dolls marketed to the “tween” generation. The jury got the case late Friday and will begin deliberations on Monday. Hundreds of millions of dollars and the rights to a blockbuster toy are at stake in the complex case that has dragged on for six years. Mattel claims in its law-

suit that MGA conspired with designer Carter Bryant to steal the idea for the dolls while Bryant worked for Mattel. Mattel attorney Bill Price told jurors the company that makes the iconic Barbie doll was “burned by an opportunist with no fashion doll designers” of its own. “The case really is about transforming a company and building a brand by using another company’s confidential information and ideas, and that’s wrong,” Price said. “If you can use another company’s confidential designs and

innovation, competition will die.” MGA’s attorney, however, told jurors Mattel’s allegations were untrue and painted Mattel as a ruthless corporation bent on destroying anyone who threatened the dominance of its Barbie brand. MGA has countersued Mattel, claiming the El Segundo-based company engaged in unfair business practices and sent gumshoes to spy on MGA at toy fairs after realizing Bratz dolls were siphoning sales from Barbie. MGA is asking jurors to award it

damages for that alleged offense. “This case is about how the world’s biggest toy company tried to crush the only competitor against Barbie in the marketplace,” MGA attor ney Jennifer Keller said. “MGA invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours of labor ... and made Bratz into a brand, the successful brand it became. “What happened here is Barbie lost the race,” she said. “I’m sorry, but Barbie is at the 50-year mark and little Bratz was sprinting right past her.”

A jury awarded Mattel $100 million in 2008 and found that Bryant had developed the Bratz concept while with Mattel. But the verdict was overturned and the case sent back for retrial. On Friday, Price told jurors that Bryant developed the idea for the sexy, urban dolls while working for Mattel in 1999 then continued to work on a doll body sculpt, fashions and other features before he left Mattel — all while working four hours a day for MGA in secret.

Boeing 737s around world face new scrutiny

PHOENIX (AP) — The crown prince of Thailand has one. So do the presidents of Peru and Chile. The Chinese Air Force relies on it, as do airlines in Russia, Indonesia, Australia and Romania. The Boeing 737 is a workhorse of international aviation. And the accident in which the roof of a Southwest Airlines jet ripped open 34,000 feet over Arizona has brought scrutiny to the hundreds of older-model 737s around the world that could be similarly vulnerable because of tiny, hard-to-find stress fractures in the aluminum skin. The planes will now be subjected to repeated examinations as the problem revealed by the fuselage crack on the Southwest flight resonates through the world’s 737 fleet for years to come. Many of their owners are now giving the planes a closer look after what happened April 1 in Arizona when a 5-foot section of the fuselage tore apart and forced pilots to make an emergency landing at a desert military base. Lightheaded passengers were banged around the cabin and had to quickly put on overhead oxygen masks as pilots

made a rapid descent. The incident has forced airlines and governments around the world to take swift action. The governments of Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and others ordered airlines to beef up inspections. Scandinavian airline SAS is performing similar checks on some of its 737s. Qantas Airlines in Australia is checking four of its planes and Air New Zealand is looking at 15. Airlines said the inspections have not disrupted air travel. Southwest and Continental Airlines have the most planes on the list of 737-300s, 737-400s and 737-500s prone to the fuselage ruptures, but a large number of the planes are owned by overseas carriers. UTAir in Russia, Garuda Airlines in Indonesia, Air New Zealand and three major carriers in China are among the biggest. Alaska Airlines has 17. Southwest finished inspecting all of its affected planes by Tuesday. They found five that had cracks in the same lap joint that tore open during last week’s flight, and were working with Boeing to make repairs.

LuPone, Harris and yes, Colbert shine in ‘Company’

NEW YORK (AP) — It doesn’t quite seem fair that the ridiculously funny Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert can do musical comedy, too. And really, doesn’t the guy get enough positive attention already? But yes, that was “The Colbert Report” host up there on the New York Philharmonic stage Thursday night, singing, dancing, doing karate moves and seemingly having a total blast alongside veteran stage actors like Broadway legend Patti LuPone in Stephen Sondheim’s “Company.” The Philharmonic always assembles stellar casts for its occasional, semi-staged theatrical productions, but still, this was an unusually starpacked ensemble, making “Company” — that quintessentially 1970 examination of marriage and singledom — one of the hot tickets of the season. (The four-show run continues through the weekend.) Playing the lead, the commitment-shy Bobby, was Neil Patrick Harris, who Broadway fans know is not merely the star of “How I Met Your Mother” — or an in-demand awards show host — but an accomplished stage actor as well (”Assassins,” “Proof,” “Cabaret,” and “Sweeney Todd” at the Philharmonic). He and Colbert weren’t the only TV stars joining their stage brethren: Jon Cryer, who’s got some time on his hands since the shutdown of “Two and a Half Men” (had you heard?), was there, as was a deliciously ditzy Christina Hendricks of “Mad Men,” trading in her ’60s office

attire for a flight attendant’s uniform. Hendricks provided some of the night’s highlights, displaying wonderful comic timing as April, who sings the one-night stand song, “Barcelona,” and delivering a priceless anecdote involving a maimed butter fly. (Don’t ask.) Of course, there were stage veterans, too, none more pedigreed than LuPone, who justifiably drew the night’s biggest ovation for her take-noprisoners “Ladies Who Lunch.” That iconic song, so long associated with Elaine Stritch, seems to have passed lately to LuPone (she sang it at Sondheim’s 80th birthday celebration, also at Avery Fisher Hall). Fitting, then, that Stritch was watching

from the audience Thursday. “Company,” with a book by George Furth, began as a set of one-act plays, and is more like a musical revue than a scripted show. It does have dialogue linking the scenes, though, and some of it is very funny — though parts of it seemed superfluous Thursday, in the context of a semistaged, concert evening. The songs were mostly wonderful, under the direction of Lony Price, as was the orchestra, conducted by Paul Gemignani. It was clear, though, that a bit more rehearsal time would have been beneficial; the far -flung cast reportedly rehearsed many scenes via stand-ins, Skype and other creative solutions. Harris nicely conveyed

the duality of Bobby — wary at age 35 of married life, yet attracted to it for reasons he doesn’t quite understand. He has a hugely appealing presence and a nice romantic-lead voice, if not a powerhouse one. His Bobby was a basically pleasant character — not nearly as intense and turbulent as the one memorably portrayed by Raul Esparza in the 2006 Broadway revival. As for Colbert, who started out as an improv comedy actor, you could tell what a huge Sondheim fan he is even if you hadn’t seen Sondheim’s recent appearance on his show, so happy did he seem onstage — doing old-style show dancing in “Side by Side by Side,” singing of the mysteries of marriage in “Sorry,

Grateful,” and trading karate moves with the excellent Martha Plimpton. (Trivia note: At one point Colbert held both Plimpton AND Harris aloft.) Among the many standout numbers was the fiendishly fast “Getting Married Today,” with Katie Finneran (”Promises, Promises”) as the pathologically jittery bride. Finneran delivered on the comic front, though she drowned out a few of the words; she

was terrific in the skit accompanying the song. And of course, Bobby’s climactic number, “Being Alive,” where he realizes he wants to be part of the world, not watch it pass by. Probably the most fun, though, was the closing anthem, “Side by Side by Side,” with the whole cast in canes and straw hats, not disguising the fun they were having, almost as if at a school play. Their joy in being there was infectious.

‘Idol’ it’s not: New show wants to find country superstar

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — It will take more than just a good voice to win the new country music talent competition, “CMT’s Next Superstar.” Contestants also have to prove their songwriting skills, musical chops and media savvy through weekly challenges on the new show, premiering Friday night. “This is not a shiny-floor show,” said executive producer Nigel L ythgoe in a recent interview. “This is a get-down-anddirty show. If we want you to go out to a biker bar, that’s where you’re going to go. You’re not just in Hollywood on a Los Angeles stage.” If you think that’s a dig at “American Idol,” consider the source. Lythgoe is the executive producer for “Idol,” too. He has teamed with his son, Simon, also an “Idol” producer, to launch the new show, because as he put it, “Country deserves its own program.” The two are well aware of the country music talent show predecessor, “Nashville Star,” that aired on USA Network from 2003-2007 and on NBC in 2008, before it was canceled. But they aren’t worried about comparisons. In fact, producers considered suing “Nashville Star” at the time because of its similarity to “Idol.” “This is a completely different show,” said Simon. “We change venues every single episode. We have challenges that put the contestants to the test in how they interview on radio. We put them to the test in their marketability for example. Their songwriting is a huge, key factor in this series.” Five women and five men made the final cut after a nationwide search. The youngest is 22 and the oldest, “Waitin’ on a Woman” songwriter Wynn Varble, is 50. The contestants live together in a house in Nashville that used to belong to Kenny Chesney, and parts of the show are filmed there. Produc-

Five women and five men made the final cut after a nationwide search. The youngest is 22 and the oldest, “Waitin’ on a Woman” songwriter Wynn Varble, is 50. The contestants live together in a house in Nashville that used to belong to Kenny Chesney, and parts of the show are filmed there.

ers dubbed it the Music Mansion. “When people go on tour together, they have to live, sleep and eat together,” said Simon of the rationale to put cameras in the house. “A lot of the time, they actually help each other. They work off each other. Other times they drive each other nuts.” While competing on a reality talent show can be a major career launch, like it was for Carrie Underwood when she won “American Idol” in 2004, the decisions artists make afterward determine their longevity. Miranda Lambert came in third on “Nashville Star” in 2003, and Chris Young won in 2006. However, their success didn’t come to fruition until years later, after a lot of hard work and staying true to themselves. “I think the big thing about any of these programs, whatever the program is, it acts as a springboard,” said Nigel. “It’s a platform for a career, it does not guarantee stardom. That’s down to the public. That’s down to the records they release. It’s down to the public buying those records. Just because the public picks up a telephone to vote for you doesn’t mean (they’re) going to buy your record.” Rotating guest judges will join Emblem Music Group owner Matt Serletic throughout the 10 episode series to send one person home each week. Viewers will determine the ultimate winner, and that person will get a record deal with a label that will be announced soon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be more in touch with what you want. You will sense a heavy amount of conYOUR HOROSCOPE fusion. Pressure builds to an unprecedented level. Digging through the hectic pace, you discover that having your primary concerns in hand helps. Tonight: Finally time to relax. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Prepare to deal with more than your fair share of change and upset. Though not known for your flexibility, you come off a lot more easygoing than many of those around you. If there is a problem, you will hear about it. Tonight: Put your feet up, far from the maddening crowd. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The time has come to approach situations with greater fiscal clarity.

power to do what you want, but you can’t follow through because interruptions occur. A respected elder or boss keeps making demands left and right. Some situations are close to impossible. Tonight: Buy flowers or another favorite treat on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others sense your direction and needs, even though you reveal little. Confusion determines your choices. Your instinct might be to take off and do what is necessary for you. Communication proves to be difficult. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You attempt to zero in on a key goal. Others seem to be touchy and difficult. One person might throw a tantrum while another distances him- or herself in order to make a point. Staying focused remains essential to achieving your desired results. Tonight: Distance yourself from others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) All eyes look to you for strong leadership, though everyone is vested in different ideas. Listen to news, and be more aware of your innate limitations. Share more with a trusted friend. Tonight: Sigh and celebrate. Today is over. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will be pressured to look at the big picture. Try to empathize and understand others.

Pressure builds around financial matters concerning a long-term response. A meeting doesn’t have the strength and meaning it has had in the past. Tonight: Listen to great music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will have a difficult time backing down in order to make progress. Someone clearly gets your ire up, triggering you beyond any level. Take a deep breath and let go of the situation until you are more in control. Tonight: Chat over a meal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get in and put on your psychic armor, if you plan on getting anything done. Think carefully about how an associate or loved one is doing his or her very best to pull you into a situation. Don’t give in. Tonight: Share with dear friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A friend could let you down or cause a problem when you least anticipate it. Understand why you need to go in a new direction. A partner tests your limits. Try not to trigger, knowing this too will pass. Tonight: Say “yes” to getting some exercise.
