New Mexico Military Institute cadets tidy up along 19th Street across from Military Heights Elementary during the Keep Roswell Beautiful Great American Cleanup, Saturday.

New Mexico Military Institute cadets saved the day by picking up litter in south Roswell Saturday morning when almost no other cleanup teams showed up to the Great American Cleanup Day. The entire corps, which is some 1,000 cadets, combed the city for recyclables and trash while battling harsh heat and high winds that turned others away.

Cadets Kelcey Smith and Ethan Harvey say they wanted to perform commu-

nity service to better improve their adopted city.

“It helps the community to pick up trash,” Harvey, 19, of Colorado Springs, Colo., said.

“It makes it better,” chimed Smith, 19, of New Hampshire.

Renee Roach, of Keep Roswell Beautiful, which sponsors the event along with the city, Chaves County and the mayor-appointed Community Improvement Commission, says about 350 people registered for the annual cleanup event on Friday, but says not many tur ned up because of wind gusts. She

says she may have those that are already registered schedule their own cleanup events at a later date since the community improvement program lasts until May 31.

Miss Chaves County 2011 T racey Young and staf f from the Roswell Chamber of Commerce were among those who showed up Saturday to clean the six medians at the Roswell International Air Center.

NATO strike kills Gadhafi’s son, 3 grandchildren; leader escapes

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi escaped a NATO missile strike in Tripoli on Saturday, but his youngest son and three grandchildren under the age of 12 were killed, a government spokesman said.

The strike, which came hours after Gadhafi called for a cease-fire and negotiations in what rebels called a publicity stunt, marked an escalation of international efforts to prevent the Libyan regime from regaining momentum.

Rebels honked horns and chanted “Allahu Akbar” or “God is great” while speed-

ing through the western city of Misrata, which Gadhafi’s forces have besieged and subjected to random shelling for two months, killing hundreds. Fireworks were set off in front of the central Hikma hospital, causing a brief panic that the light would draw fire from Gadhafi’s forces.

The attack struck the house of Gadhafi’s youngest son, Seif al-Arab, when the Libyan leader and his wife were inside. White House spokesman Shin Inouye declined to comment on the developments in Libya, referring questions to NATO.

The alliance acknowledged that it had struck a “command and control building in the Bab alAzizya neighborhood” Saturday evening, but it could not confirm the death of Gadhafi’s son and insisted all its targets are military in nature and linked to Gadhafi’s systematic attacks on the population.

The commander of the NATO operation, Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, said he was aware of unconfirmed reports that some Gadhafi family members may have been killed See LIBYA Page A3

NE Mississippi tornado was highest-rated EF-5

AP Photo

Search and Rescue team members look through the rubble of a house in Smithville, Miss., Thursday, following a tornado touchdown Wednesday afternoon.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — At least one of the massive tornadoes that killed hundreds across the South this week was a devastating EF5 storm, according to an analysis Friday by the National Weather Service, which suspects several others also were the worst of the worst.

After the first day of assessing storm damage, the weather service said the tornado that hit Smithville, Miss., at 3:44 p.m. EDT on Wednesday was an EF-5 storm. That’s the highest rating given to assess a tornado’s wind speed, and is based in part on damage caused by the storm.

The weather service said the half-mile wide Smithville tor nado had

peak winds of 205 mph and was on the ground for close to three miles, killing 14 and injuring 40.

It was the first EF-5 tornado to strike Mississippi since 1966, and the first EF-5 tornado in the United States since a May 25, 2008, stor m in Parkersburg, Iowa.

Meteorologist Jim LaDue at the weather service’s Storm Prediction Center in Nor man, Okla., said he expects “many more” of the tor nadoes that killed at least 297 people during Wednesday’s brutal outbreak of severe weather will be rated EF-5.

The weather service also is sending assessment teams back out to review more damage in several states, including Mississippi and Alabama. The assessments are preliminary, and are based on photos taken during the ground surveys and consultation with experts.

They will be confirmed later this year.

Meteorologist Mary Keiser at the weather service’s Birmingham office said the tornado that tore across

Bibb, Greene and Hale counties in northern Alabama was given a preliminary EF-3 rating, which has winds of 136 to 165 mph. At least seven people were killed and 50 were injured.

“The tornado track was 71.3 miles long and the largest width — the tornado at its widest point — was one mile wide,” Keiser said. “Its peak winds were 145 mph at the start and end times.”

According to surveys, the tornado was an EF-1 when it touched down in southwest Greene County near the Tombigbee River just west of Tishabee. It intensified into an EF-2 as it moved north of Forkland and across the Black Warrior River into Sawyerville and the Talladega National Forest in Hale County, where six fatalities and 40 injuries occurred.

It became an EF-3 northeast of Sawyerville and continued to track into Bibb County, where one person was killed and eight were hurt, according to the weather service.

Surveys on the twisters that hit Hackelburg, Shottsville and Haileyville in Alabama were said to be of EF-3 strength or potentially higher. The surveys are being further evaluated, the weather service said.

Keiser said it will take time for meteorologists to complete damage assessment.

“This is very rare, historic damage so we want to make sure it’s accurate,” she said.

The Smithville tornado rated EF-5 destroyed 18 homes, which the weather service said were well built, less than 10 years old and bolted to their foundation.

The plumbing systems and appliances in the worst part of the storm’s damage path were either shredded or missing entirely, as is a 1965 Chevrolet pickup truck that was parked in front of one of the destroyed homes.

“He always had a smile,” Luke Stiggins, Antonio’s fa-ther, said afterward.

“There wasn’t anything you could throw at him that he wouldn’t take on,” Angel Mayes, Antonio’s mother, wearing all black, added. “And with a sense of humor, I must add.”

Capt. Brian White with the Honor Guard said the remains were likely transported from Iraq to Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center in Germany, to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to RIAC. The motorcycle procession escorting the white hearse wended its way from the air center, to the relief route north of the city, and back down Main Street, to Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home. Groups of spectators throughout the city paused to pay their respects, like baseball players at Randy Willis Sports Complex standing on the side of Sunset Avenue with baseball caps in their hands and a veterans group at the Chaves County Courthouse waving flags.

of the chamber, said.

She noted that the chamber is a partner with Keep Roswell Beautiful.

City Planner Michael Vickers said that this was the first year that the cleanup would help people with trash removal from their private property or residence, or even help with weeding, removing graffiti, trimming trees and large item removal, including cars and washing machines. He says a permission slip was sent

Councilor Jason Perry, noted that all the flags in the city were at half-staff in reverence. The Roswell Veterans Honor Guard was also there to present colors and receive the coffin at the front doors of the funeral home.

Mayes says she was thankful for the city’s support and only asks that people remember fallen soldiers after they are gone.

“Never forget those that aren’t with us today,” she said.

Family and friends say Stiggins enlisted in the Army in January 2010 after being deferred in 2009. Born and raised in Roswell, he graduated from Mayfield High School in Las Cruces in 2004 and continued his education at New Mexico State University and Central New Mexico Community College before enlisting.

ROSWELL SHRINE CLUB VIDALIA ONION SALE

The U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico met with law enforcement agencies at the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office earlier this week to advocate a new statewide approach intended to improve public safety.

“I’m here just as much to listen as to speak,” Kenneth Gonzales, who was appointed U.S. attor ney last year, told the room full of local and top-tier officials, including the state secretary of public safety, the state secretary of corrections, the Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent-in-aharge of the Albuquerque Division and officers from the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Marshal Service.

Gonzales says the “SMAR T” initiative is intended to decrease drugs, gangs and gun violence across state, metropolitan area, rural and Tribal lands while his of fice cracks down on repeat criminal offenders.

and he regretted “all loss of life, specially the innocent civilians being harmed as a result of the ongoing conflict.”

Moammar Gadhafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of his 29-year -old son when it was hit by at least one bomb dropped from a NATO warplane, according to Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

NATO warplanes have been carrying out airstrikes in Libya for the past month as part of a U.N. mandate to protect Libyan civilians.

Saturday’s strike marked the first time Gadhafi’s family was being targeted directly.

about it putting somebody away for a meaningful amount of time who will not be back on the streets,” Gonzales said.

Gonzales also says that gang and gun violence is a growing concern in Roswell and Chaves County. He said that out of 79 firearms cases his office heard in 2009, nine were out of Chaves County; in 2010, eight of the 75 firear ms cases came from Chaves County.

“This area of the state is definitely keeping us busy,” he said.

Nancy Sanchez, with the attorney general’s office, called the meeting an “initial summit” to get all the players in the same room to discuss strategy and to for m partnerships. She says this was the third meeting in about two weeks where Gonzales addressed neighborhood problems.

The other meetings were in Espanola and Window Rock, Ariz.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The post of fice has a green light to try selling gift cards.

Pre-paid cards have become one of the most popular gift items and postal officials said in January they want to do more than just deliver them to the lucky recipients. The independent Postal Regulatory Commission approved a test of the postal sales plan on Thursday.

The post of fice says the proposal calls for a two-year test, with about 2,000 post offices selling cards issued by companies such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa. It will start in June.

The test would be limited to sales at postal retail of fices and the agency’s website, and if the initial test works out, it would be expanded to several thousand additional post offices.

The National Retail

Armed rebels have been battling Gadhafi loyalists for more than two months in an attempt to oust Libya’s ruler of nearly 42 years. Standing outside an improvised triage unit in a tent in the parking lot, rebel fighter Abdel-Aziz Bilhaj, 22, welcomed the attack, saying it would make Gadhafi think twice about how he dealt with his people.

On Tuesday, British Defense Minister Liam Fox and U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters at the Pentagon that NATO planes were not targeting Gadhafi specifically but would continue to attack his command centers.

Journalists taken to the walled complex of one-story buildings in a residential Tripoli neighborhood saw heavy bomb damage. The

blast had torn down the ceiling of one building and left a huge pile of rubble and twisted metal on the ground.

Dust and smoke rose from the rubble, which included household items including smashed toilet bowls, bathroom sinks and furniture among the broken walls and demolished floors. The mirror of a dressing table remained intact in the middle of a bedroom although the walls around it were demolished.

In Brussels, a NATO official said before Saturday’s fatal strike that the alliance needed “to see not words but actions,” and vowed the alliance would keep up the pressure until the U.N. Security Council mandate

Federation estimates that more than threequarters of consumers purchase at least one gift card during the holiday season.

The cards the post of fice plans to test, known as “open loop” cards, can be used with any business that accepts cards from the issuing organization.

Current plans call for sales of fixed amount cards of $25 and $50 value, plus variablevalue cards where the buyer can designate the amount at between $26 and $100. In addition there will be a fee of $4.95 for a fixed amount card or $5.95 for a variable one. The cards will have to be purchased from a clerk.

NATO has promised to continue operations until all attacks and threats against civilians have ceased, all of Gadhafi’s forces have returned to bases and full humanitarian access is granted.

Rebel leaders have said they will only lay down their arms and begin talks after Gadhafi and his sons step aside. Gadhafi has repeatedly refused to resign.

“We don’t believe that there is a solution that includes him or any member of his family. So it is well past any discussions.

The only solution is for him to depart,” rebel spokesman Jalal al-Galal said.

Senate race looks to be an exciting contest A4 Sunday, May 1, 2011

SANTA FE — U.S. congressional races in New Mexico are shaping up to be almost as much fun as the contests in 2008. That’s when New Mexico went from having some of the most seniority in Congress to having about the least seniority.

All three House members ran for the open Senate seat of retiring Sen. Pete Domenici, a veteran of 36 years. That meant zero seniority in the House but Bingaman’s 26 years in the Senate still gave New Mexico the clout to keep its valuable federal projects.

Now that Sen. Bingaman has announced his retirement, New Mexico will be left with no one having more than four year’s seniority. If the entire House delegation decides to run for the open Senate as it did four years ago, the state could really be in bad shape.

That is not as likely to happen as it was four years ago. Rep.

fighter unit. Blame for that loss has not fallen solely on Heinrich’s shoulders however.

As of this writing, New Mexico’s two other representatives, Steve Pearce and Ben Ray Lujan, have not jumped into the Senate race.

Pearce took the leap in 2008. He beat Rep. Heather Wilson in the GOP primary but lost badly to Rep. Tom Udall in a general election dominated by Democrats.

With political possibilities looking better for the GOP in 2012, Pearce could decide to try again.

But would Republicans be willing to give him back his House seat again in 2014, if he loses again in 2012? Another factor is that Former Rep. Heather Wilson, who lost to Pearce in the 2008 Senate primary, is back again running hard.

Pearce runs far to the right of Wilson. That’s good in the primary but Wilson says that makes her stronger in the general elec-

JAY MILLER

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Martin Heinrich, of New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District, is the only House member to declare his intent to run for the Senate and he may have raised enough money to scare some others out.

Rep. Heinrich has made some impact in Washington during his first two years. He has picked up some good committee positions, was elected president of the large 2008 Democratic freshman class and managed to keep most of New Mexico’s federal assets in his district.

His one loss was a change in mission for the famed Tacos, the New Mexico Air National Guard’s

tion. With the tea party now on the scene, just how much moderation will be tolerated in 2012?

Pearce also is over a decade older than Wilson. Strategists often look at such factors when thinking about building seniority for the party.

Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, of the 3rd Congressional District, now is putting out the word that he won’t challenge Heinrich for the Democratic senatorial nomination. He’s happy and doing well where he is. No major opponents appear to be looming from either side in 2012. Redistricting will change his constituency some but not that much.

Lujan is doing well in Washington. The vice-chairmanship of the House Hispanic Caucus gives him connections with the leadership. He overcame the stigma of being a card dealer to win in 2008 and now is known as hard working with good constituent

service.

State Auditor Hector Balderas has announced in the past few days for the U.S. Senate. With a statewide victory for auditor under his belt, he has a leg up on Rep. Heinrich in that respect. But Heinrich has Washington experience and fundraising ability.

Former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish has been encouraged to get in the U.S. Senate race. Sen. Tim Keller, a young Albuquerque Democrat, has expressed interest. He has been very active in promoting fiscal analysis and good government issues.

On the GOP side, in addition to Wilson, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez is a probable contender. Greg Sowards of Las Cruces and Bill English of Alamogordo also have announced.

Lizard listing poses threat

Considering how important oil and natural gas are to our state and national economies, we are in a constant state of exasperation at how there always seems to be government regulators determined to hinder the development of fossil fuel energy.

Every aspect of our society relies on the use of fossil fuels. They make it possible for us to produce the food we all eat and transport it — along with all other manner of consumer goods — to our stores. They generate electricity to light our homes and run our appliances. Just about any activity we engage in at some point relies directly or indirectly on fossil fuels.

The latest assault on our oil and gas industries comes in the form of a local lizard. Currently listed as endangered by the state Department of Game and Fish, the dunes sagebrush lizard, commonly called the sand dune lizard, is now a potential candidate for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The service has been studying the lizard’s status since 1982 and has until Dec. 14 to decide whether it makes the list.

Officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service state the lizards are only found on about 600,000 acres of land, down from 1 million acres, in the shinnery oak dunes of southeastern New Mexico and West Texas.

Federal biologists say threats to the lizard include habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, pollution, predation and climate change.

Officials with Fish and Wildlife refute claims that the listing would kill jobs.

We’re not so optimistic. Making changes to accommodate the lizard will be yet another expense heaped upon what is already an overregulated industry. We agree that fossil fuel development needs to be done with an eye toward doing the minimal amount harm to the environment. However, considering the importance of these resources, regulations need to be balanced with the acknowledgement that our economy would come to a standstill without oil and gas.

The fossil fuel industry seems to be under constant fire from the government and the populace at large. Criticism ranges from high gasoline prices, huge profits by large corporations and accidental spills. For those critical of fossil fuels, we invite them to try and live for even a short time without the benefits these natural resources provide.

Turn off the electricity. Walk everywhere. Eat only food you produce yourself with hand labor. Were those clothes you are wearing produced using petroleum products or brought to town on a truck? Ditch them.

We are, of course, suggesting an unrealistic course of action. However, for some people it is necessary to point out how ludicrous it would be to live in this day and age without the prolific use of fossil fuels. We feel no ill will toward the sand dune lizard, but the needs of our own species should be paramount.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comment on the issue until May 9. To submit a public comment online, visit www.regulations.gov, Search Docket #FWS-R2-ES-2010-0041. We encourage residents to make their voice heard on this issue.

This fiscal year the government will spend $3.8 trillion, more than 40 percent of which will be borrowed. In the last full year before the current administration came to power, outlays were just under $3 trillion. Earlier this year, the Office of Management and Budget estimated that under President Obama’s budget, spending in 2016 will rise to $4.5 trillion.

L ymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis together are referred to as microscopic colitis. Some researchers believe that the two are simply different presentations or phases of a single condition. Symptoms and treatment of both are identical; therefore, discussing one is the same as discussing both. The only difference between the two is on microscopic examination (hence the name) of a tissue sample taken from the affected individual.

Collagenous colitis causes collagen in the colon to thicken. It is most commonly diagnosed in people in their 50s, with women being affected more frequently than men. Lymphocytic colitis

tration estimates, the deficit won’t fall below a trillion dollars until 2013, then will begin rising again 2016.

Deficit projections of course depend on assumptions about economic growth. When the public is clamoring for action on the deficit, officials have an incentive to be unrealistically optimistic.

Also, budget discussions overflow with opportunities for deceit. As we saw with the recent compromise over the 2011 continuing resolution, in Orwellian Washington a spending cut is really an increase.

causes increased levels of white blood cells known as lymphocytes within the colon. It affects men and women equally and is also most commonly diagnosed in those aged 50 or older.

The cause of microscopic colitis is unknown, but researchers currently theorize that it may involve viruses, bacteria and/or immune-system issues. Some individuals with microscopic colitis may have a pre-existing immune disorder such as celiac disease (gluten intolerance), scleroderma (connective tissue disorder, often af fecting the skin) and rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain and damage). Symptoms include chronic, watery diarrhea that may last for See GOTT, Page A5

Deficit spending has had a deep structural ef fect on America’s political economy.

In mid April the national debt was $14.3 trillion, about 98 percent of GDP. Last year the administration’s Mid-Session Budget Review projected the debt would hit 100 percent of GDP by 2012, and would double by 2020, exceeding 100 percent of GDP for the rest of the decade.

To see the yearly budget impact of that, in 2010 the U.S. government paid more than $400 billion in interest, a

Losing your breath in this lifetime is important Roswell Daily Record

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

How often do you have moments that leave you breathless? Is this an appropriate way to measure the lives we live?

If moments you were breathless were the measurement of our lives, there would be some that would live to be hundreds or thousands of breathless moments old and others that may not make it to one. Our tombstones would say our first, middle and last name and then something like “he died 312 moments old.” Years old would not be the ultimate measuring stick, only an indication of how many opportunities a person has had to have breathless moments.

I heard a speaker once share about a tombstone that said something like “Here lies John Doe, he stopped living at age 25, but didn’t die until he was 75.” This would be a sad tribute to any one of us.

With the “breathless moments” measuring stick,

his tombstone might better read “He lived to be one breathless moment old.”

I truly think that years of age is only one indicator of how old a person is. A person should be more measured by the state of mind she adopts for her life rather than the number of days she has spent on this planet. Birthdays are great and it gives a reason to celebrate a life being lived. But a high number of years only means a person has been around a long time, it does not mean that what she has done with her life is relevant to others or is making an impact on others.

In this thing we are experiencing called life, what are we doing with it? Today each one of us is at the crossroads. We have walked a journey to get to today.

We made an appointment to

weeks, months or even years, and abdominal pain or cramps. While less common, fecal incontinence, nausea and bloating may occur. Mild weight loss, weakness and dehydration are also possibilities because of the diarrhea.

Some studies have linked certain medications to microscopic colitis; however, not all the studies agree, so further research is still required. Currently, acarbose, aspirin, NSAIDs, omeprazole, ranitidine, sertraline, flutamide, esomeprazole, clozapine, entacapone, lansoprazole, simvastatin and ticlopidine are possibly linked.

Some cases may resolve without treatment; however, diet and medication modifications may be beneficial in reducing symptoms. Any drug that may be linked should be discontinued, reduced or replaced. Fats and fiber intake should be reduced, while caffeine

be where we are. That is our view over our shoulder.

Then we look forward. Then there is an open field ahead with an as yet undefined path. We will determine what path we walk in the days ahead.

Looking backward, I ask the question, what is your story? What has happened in your life in the steps you have walked? You are the only person who has ever lived with the journey you have walked. We look back only to answer a better question about the future.

What has occurred in your past that equips you to make a difference in your tomorrows?

We get one chance to pass through this world.

One chance ... maybe 70 or 80 trips around the sun if we are fortunate. Our lives are just a drop in the bucket compared to eternity.

We hear stories of individuals who learn their days are limited because of an illness and they suddenly begin to live life to the fullest. Or we hear of others who, recognizing their years are passing quickly, create a bucket list of things to

and dairy/lactose products should be eliminated from the diet. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and avoid irritating foods. Soft, easy-to-digest foods eaten over several smaller meals per day are the best option.

Medication will likely be recommended if dietary modifications fail to produce sufficient results. These include over -the-counter anti-diarrheals and prescription bile-acid blockers, steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants.

For severe cases in which medication is ineffective, surgical removal of a portion or the entire colon may be beneficial; however, this is rare for microscopic colitis.

experience before they breathe their last breath.

I heard a sermon once where the core question was “What are the ‘whoa’ moments of your life?”

What is it in your world that overcomes you or overwhelms you? The pastor shared that sometimes you are with a crowd and something happens that just stuns you and leaves you amazed.

It is the feeling you get when experiencing a sporting event and a last-minute shot or field goal brings victory from the jaws of defeat.

It is when a family member works hard and then you are there when the moment arrives where the goal is met. All you can say is “Wow!” It could be the birth of a child, a good sermon, a roller coaster ride, a beautiful sunset spread across the sky, a graduation, being honored for something you accomplished, making an impact in a young life.

What are your “whoa” moments? Or are you just getting up each day with a goal of making it to the end of the day without fumbling the ball. And when is the last time you have had a “whoa” moment?

So what does all of this mean to you or me today?

We need to seek and create breathless moments.

I find that the more I do for others the greater chance I have to experience a whoa moment. I also find that the more I do with others, the greater the chance I have to have a breathless experience.

I find that the more I am willing to push myself, to step outside my comfort zone, and to take risks, the greater chance my breath is to be taken away.

At the end of our lives, what we have accomplished for ourselves dies with us, what we accomplish for others lives on.

My challenge to you is to experience as many breath-

little less than the Medicare budget — the fourth largest budget item. This year the government is on track to exceed that amount. It is estimated that in 2019 the government will pay $700 billion in interest.

Obama’s profligate spending should not lead us to think he succeeded a budget hawk in office. On the contrary, the eight years of George W. Bush saw outlays go from $1.9 trillion to nearly $3 trillion and the debt go from $5.7 trillion to $10.7 trillion.

Virtually everyone agrees that the current situation is unsustainable. It’s easy to see why the ruling elite think so. They are concerned that if some control is not achieved over spending, by 2025 all revenues collected by the national government will be swallowed up by Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest on the debt. But then how will the politicians do all the other things they do: subsidizing pet projects (many of which are carried on by well-connected businesses); policing the globe for political and economic reasons (fighting overt

less moments as you can in the days you have left.

Don’t live a mechanical life in a rut. Create opportunities to lose your breath. Put yourself in a zone or zones that will lead to these moments. Live the years you have left to the fullest.

My prayer for you is that you experience as many whoa moments as you can, may your heartbeat hit record highs in the days ahead for brief moments of time, may you become breathless from time to time, and through it all may you experience life to the fullest, smile broadly, and on occasion may tears of joy roll down your cheeks.

and covert wars and channeling billions to the military-industrial complex); and generally centralizing power in Washington, D.C.?

The regime faces a double crisis. The first is fiscal: Unless it does something, it won’t have the money to maintain the gravy train. The other is a crisis in legitimacy. People are catching on that the borrowing power hides the cost of government, imposing burdens on future generations. If politicians don’t appear to fix things their careers are in jeopardy.

Hence, budget chairman Paul Ryan’s House-backed meager “Path to Prosperity” and Obama’s expression of support for modest budget cuts (plus tax increases on the wealthy). But both approaches, whatever their differences in detail and style, have one overriding feature in common: Both aim to preserve the corporatist warfare-welfare state. Neither represents a serious rethinking of the role of government. In the end, there will be little change, no matter who prevails.

Interested in a board position?

A6 Sunday, May 1, 2011

LOCAL

I am convinced that, as a community, we don’t always take advantage of the wonderful skills and experience of many of our citizens. Specifically, I’m writing of “board of director” positions, especially for Non-Profit Organizations. Every one of these organizations must have a board of directors which helps provide certain guidance, policy-making, and frequently decision-making to the organization.

And, while I have no idea of how many such board positions exist in Roswell, I think there are many, many individuals who could fill them and yet are just not being asked. It is sometimes hard to step out of our comfort zones, asking such commitments from people we may not know too well.

Now, here comes my disclaimer! Thank goodness for all of those in Roswell and in Chaves County who have stepped up to the plate year after year filling hundreds of non-profit board positions. They continue, of course, to do so today! These wonderful volunteers have contributed so very much to the success of many of those organizations, not to mention the immense help they have given to the recipients of services offered. God bless

them, and staff and volunteers who have always been there.

All right, let me get to the point! You may be one of those who have never been asked. Perhaps you are new to Roswell and are looking for ways to get involved.

Newcomer or longtime Roswellite, you have some skills which you desperately want to share with those less fortunate than yourself. You have the time and you have the interest in helping to make our Community a better one in which to live. You’ve just NEVER BEEN ASKED!

Red Cross offers tips for wildfires Spring in New Mexico means wind and wildfires. While it may not seem serious, high wind can damage structures and fan small wildfires into raging infernos at a moment’s notice, putting individuals and families at serious risk for harm Since March, the American Red Cross in New Mexico has responded to several large wind-fed fires that destroyed homes in a matter of minutes. As with any disaster, preparation can be the difference between life and death.

The Red Cross recommends these tips to help individuals and families prepare for wildfires: Create and practice a home wildfire plan: Learn about wildfire risks in your area. Talk to everyone in your household about what to do if a wildfire occurs.

Select a place for family members to meet outside your neighborhood in case the primary route is blocked.

Create an emergency preparedness kit: Pack a first aid kit and essential medications; canned food and manual can open-

er, bottled water, and maps of the area, flashlights and a battery-powered radio with extra batteries. Include essential legal and identifying documents in your kit in the event that you must quickly evacuate. Set aside household items that can be used as fire tools such as a rake, ax, shovel, bucket, chain, or handsaw.

Heed news reports: Listen to your local radio and television stations for updated information. If threatened, be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice, as wildfires can be unpredictable. Contain pets to one room so you can find them quickly.

Prepare your home: Select building materials and plants that resist fire. Regularly clean your roof and gutters to remove flammable debris, identify and maintain an adequate water source outside your home to saturate your home’s perimeter if needed.

to bloom,” Kunst said. “If you have a purple and white crocus, for example, you know they’ll be blooming at the same time every year. Antique bulbs offer a wider range of colors.”

Annuals, also, are easy to grow, he said. “The good thing about annuals is that you can mix them up — colors and varieties.”

And what better than containers for strutting your stuff if your team advances to a postseason bowl game or playoffs?

Barber had red geraniums in white pots when Wisconsin was invited to play at the Rose Bowl last season.

Sports-crazy gardeners aren’t limited to flowers when showing school spirit: Grass can also send the message.

“Fertilizers will create block letters in lawns, although it’s tough to make symbols,” said Mike Goatley, a turf grass specialist at Virginia Tech. “Mowing patterns can be creatively done, but are more effective when the turf or the viewer is elevated.”

Goatley became involved in a turf war of sorts at his Blacksburg, Va., home several years ago when he used a warm-season zoysiagrass that goes dormant in winter over a green, cool-season fescue lawn to make an emphatic Virginia Tech logo. He eventually sold the property, complete with school symbol, to a Clemson grad.

“He wanted a tiger paw instead,” Goatley said with a laugh, referring to the Clemson mascot.

Alums display school spirit with flowers Deborah Barber, a devoted sports fan and avid gardener, shows her team spirit by planting flowers in school colors.

The Madison, Wis., resident holds degrees from Northwestern University (purple with white) and Wisconsin (cardinal and white). Her husband, Rich Brown, on the other hand, is an Illinois grad (orange and blue). So she plants in her schools’ colors, with a nod to his.

“How I love the purple and white combo in perennial irises, annual petunias and other flowers,” Barber said about her Northwestern connection. She uses red and white annuals to represent Wisconsin, while blue scilla and daffodils with orange centers serve as the Illini link. The last, she says, shows “a gentle expression of rivalry.”

“As a 50-something gardener, the specific colors recapture my memories of schools, school friends and hometowns from my younger years,” said Barber.

Along with enthusiastic alumni, colleges and universities also sometimes plant in school colors.

Bulbs are always a good choice for color-themed gardens, said Scott Kunst, owner and head gardener at Old House Gardens Heirloom Bulbs, a mail order and Internet business operating within shouting distance of Michigan Stadium at Ann Arbor.

Roswell Daily Record

So I’m asking you. Let others, people with whom you are acquainted and who may be deeply involved in an organization or an activity, know that you’d consider being on their board. Ask executive directors if they have vacancies on their board. Make them aware of your interest, but be sure how their board functions. What are their concerns? Do they raise funds, and how do they do it? Will there be a background check involved?

Of course, if you join a board of directors, you must be prepared to work personally. That becomes your part of strengthening the organization. That becomes your contribution!

Finally, if you do want to participate and just do not know the direction to go, call me, Steve Wolfe, at 575622-4014. I am personally involved in a couple of these non-profits, and perhaps I can steer you the right way.

Webcam catches tourists walking on Old Faithful Roswell Daily Record

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Warning signs in multiple languages and the risk of getting cooked like garbanzo beans in a pressure cooker didn’t stop some 30 tourists from taking a waytoo-close look at Yellowstone’s famous Old Faithful Geyser.

Fortunately, someone was keeping an eye on them — by webcam, hundreds of miles away in Wisconsin.

Before the geyser’s next eruption, the viewer called Yellowstone and a ranger herded them to safety. The ranger handed out $125 tickets to several people, including the tour group leader.

Yellowstone National Park of ficials on Friday used the incident to repeat yet again their message to all who visit: Getting too close to boiling-hot geysers, mud pots and ther mal pools is very dangerous.

Obey the warning signs.

Keep to the boardwalks.

Stay out of hot water — literally.

“One would never want to be close to a geyser like that or, frankly, look down into the column as apparently some of these visitors

did,” park spokesman Al Nash said.

A video posted on YouTube showed four members of the group strolling right up to the opening of Old Faithful, followed by the rest of the group within minutes.

Some posed for photos within easy reach of the searing hot water that bubbles out of Old Faithful for several minutes ahead of each eruption.

Every year, a small handful of Yellowstone’s more than 3 million annual visitors illegally venture off the boardwalks that surround many of the park’s thermal features.

They gamble that the solid-looking ground isn’t but a thin wafer of minerals above a boiling-hot pool.

About one person a year gets burned, Nash said.

Others, like the ones involved in the latest close call, just get caught — like the two men in 2009 who got busted on the all-seeing Old Faithful live webcam as they urinated into the geyser between eruptions.

Nash didn’t have any specific information about the tour group but said they must have ignored

warn of Yellowstone’s myriad dangers — which also include charging bison and

grumbly grizzly bears — in several languages, including French, German, Chinese and Japanese.

Besides potentially punching their feet through the geyser basin crust, the tour group risked getting seared by Old Faithful’s blasts of 204-degree water.

The eruptions occur every hour or two, less predictable than the geyser’s name suggests.

“It’s not something you can set your watch to,” Nash said.

So who was the hero who called? Nash said the park isn’t sure.

“We know that people all over the world love Yellowstone and they express it in very many ways. This was a rather unique approach and it was certainly appreciated,” he said.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS LOCKOUT BACK, EFFECTIVE NOW, SAYS NFL

IEDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — The on-again, offagain NFL lockout is on again.

Hours after NFL players reported to work for the first time in nearly two months, the league announced late Friday that the lockout would resume immediately, thanks to an appeals court ruling in the league’s favor.

“Looks like we’re unemployed again,” tweeted Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, scheduled to become a free agent.

The move capped a chaotic, topsy-turvy week that began with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson lifting the 45-day lockout on Monday.

She denied the NFL’s appeal on Wednesday and the league took halting steps toward getting back to football just after sunrise Friday.

Then the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis granted the NFL’s request for a temporary stay of Nelson’s injunction order. The appeals court is expected to rule next week on the NFL’s request for a more permanent stay that would last through its appeal of the injunction, a process expected to take 6-8 weeks.

The NFL didn’t have to wait that long to resume the lockout, and the announcement came right after the third round of the NFL draft had ended.

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

The Goddard boys tennis team will be sending two singles players and two doubles teams to the state tour nament, while the Rocket girls will be sending a singles player and a doubles team.

For the boys, the doubles team of Andrew Wiser and David Sweet rolled through two matches on Saturday to claim the District 4-4A doubles crown.

Wiser and Sweet, the No. 1 seed, had a bye in the first round and, in the semis, beat Roswell’s T revor Pope and Carlos Ruiz, 6-1, 6-2.

In the finals they faced off against familiar foes, the other Rocket doubles team of Tristan Collar and Konnor Kundomal.

Collar and Kundomal advanced to the finals with two straight-set wins.

In the finals, Wiser and Sweet prevailed 6-2, 6-1 and Goddard coach Joe Harton said that they were all business on Saturday.

“They can go up to state and do some good things,” he said regarding Wiser and Sweet. “They were real machine-like today, which was nice. They didn’t get flustered and they were here for business, and they took care of businesss. You didn’t see them mess around with long sets or long games or anything.

“They were just really focused and that is good to see going into next week.”

In singles play, Goddard’s Eric Lamm advanced to the finals after beating Artesia’s Adam Solares 6-2, 6-2 in the first round and the Bulldogs’ Alonzo Samora 6-2, 6-1 in the semis.

Goddard’s Darren Powers eyes the ball as he sets up a forehand return during his third-place match with Artesia’s Alonzo Samora during the District 4-4A individual tennis tournament, Saturday. Powers rallied from a 40-0 hole to go up 3-1 in the third set and eventually beat Samora 6-7 (7-6), 6-1, 6-1 to earn the bronze medal and qualify for the state tournament.

Lamm lost to Roswell’s Freddie Romero, 6-0, 6-0 in the finals.

Goddard’s Darren Powers had a tougher road to state.

Powers downed Artesia’s Zach Reid, 6-1, 6-3 in the first round before falling to Romero in the semis.

In the third-place match, Powers dropped the first set to Artesia’s Samora, but battled back to take the second set, 6-1.

In the third set, Powers had a 2-1 lead and the

Samora seemed poised to tie the set at two after taking a 40-0 lead, but Powers battled back to knot the game.

It took six deuces, but Powers was able to string together two points to take the game and control of the match.

He went on to take the final three games of the set, claiming the third singles spot at the state tournament.

Harton said that if Powers can play like he did the final two sets, he can play with anyone.

“He needs to lear n to play like that at the beginning of the match,” he said.

“It could be match jitters or whatever, but once he gets over that hump, he can play with anybody.”

Harton said that the individual part of district is one of his favorite times of the tennis season.

“I am happy with the team,” he said. “This is one

of my favorite times for the boys. it is their chance to make it into state based on what they can do. I was pretty pleased and it is my happy time.”

For the girls, Gabby Joyce won the singles title after beating Artesia’s Lizeth Cueto in the semis 6-0, 6-1 and Roswell’s Mary Romero 6-1, 6-1 in the finals.

ARTESIA — Nate Guajardo went 4 for 4 from the plate and Caelen Wilcox struck out seven as Goddard downed Roswell, 9-4, at the District 4-4A round robin tournament on Saturday.

Wilcox picked up the win for Goddard, allowing one run in five innings and Guajardo drove in two runs for the Rockets.

The Coyotes were done in by an inability to cash in on two bases-loaded opportunities.

“Kevin Kelly pitched a good game, but the problem again was that twice the inning ended when we had the bases loaded and that will kill you,” he said. “The second time (they were loaded) we got one or two hits, but the first time we didn’t get squat out if it.”

Kelly, James Singleton and Steve Martinez had base knocks for Roswell.

Goddard 18, Artesia 7 ARTESIA — Ryan Greened picked up the win on the mound and helped his own cause with six RBIs in Goddard’s five-inning win over the Bulldogs on Saturday at the District 4-4A round robin tournament.

The Rockets had dropped its previous two games to Artesia and assistant coach Kyle Alsup said that it was good to get back on track.

“We hadn’t been playing very well the last three or four weeks,” he said. “We feel a lot better after today and hopefully it will give us some momentum heading into the playoffs.”

Brad Blackwell and Brandon Cooper collected three hits each for Goddard (20-6), which finished second in the district behind Artesia.

Artesia 11, Roswell 1 ARTESIA — Roswell’s David Herrera was charged with the loss in the Coyotes’ first game of the District 4-4A round robin tournament, Saturday.

Roswell coach Dane Kyser said that the loss to the Bulldogs was like many others this season for Roswell.

The New Mexico Military Institute Bronco baseball team wrapped up its 2011 season on Saturday with a pair of losses to Western Junior College Athletic Conference foe Midland College at NMMI Ballpark.

The Broncos dropped Game 1 of the doubleheader 5-0 and then lost 17-6 in eight innings in the nightcap to finish the season 1341 overall and 3-29 in conference play.

In Game 1, Midland capitalized on a bases-loaded walk and a throwing error to score two runs in the top of the first and never gave the lead back.

After three scoreless innings, Midland’s Tanner Mitchell recorded a two-out double in the top of the fifth and scored on a Ryan Small single to make it 3-0.

The Chaps then added two in the sixth thanks to a string of three straight extra-base hits.

Donald Fennell took the loss after giving up five runs on six hits, striking out three and walking three in seven innings of work on the mound.

The Broncos totaled four hits in the loss, including doubles from Luis Maldonado and John David Gonzales. Johnnie Garrett and Josh Loera each added singles.

In Game 2, the Broncos’ three runs in the bottom of the first gave them a 3-1 lead, but it was a shortlived lead. Midland scored

The Broncos cut the lead in half in the fourth with two runs, but Midland immediately answered with three runs in the fifth. The Chaps added their final six runs in the eighth before NMMI got one back in the bottom of the eighth.

Manolo Mendoza was

saddled with the loss for NMMI after allowing 10 runs on 14 hits in four innings.

Four Broncos had multihit games in Game 2. Garrett went 3 for 3, Vince Centeno was 3 for 4 with two runs scored, Loera was 2 for 3 with two RBIs and Gonzales was 2 for 4 with an RBI.

The 137th Kentucky Derby is anybody’s race

Todd Pletcher arrived in Louisville this spring assured of avoiding the thorny question of when he would finally win the Kentucky Derby.

Super Saver’s upset victory a year ago provided the answer. Now, though, the trainer faces a fresh batch of inquiries regarding Uncle Mo, one of his two contenders for next Saturday’s race.

The colt, last year’s 2year-old champion, swept his first four career starts by a combined 27 1/4 lengths. He was threatening to turn the 137th running of the Derby into a coronation, but a stunning loss in the Wood Memorial on April 9 seems to have squelched that scenario.

Even more so, it left the upcoming big race without a clear-cut favorite, meaning Derby wagering could produce huge odds and big

smiles for anyone holding a winning ticket.

The loss also left Pletcher struggling for an explanation.

“Winning the Derby is awesome. It’s great,” Pletcher said. “It doesn’t change your life in a lot of ways. The feed man still wants to get paid. Your wife still thinks you work too much. And if you get beat in the Wood Memorial everybody wants to know why.”

Perhaps it was the gastrointestinal infection that was diagnosed after the race. Uncle Mo had led the field with a quarter-mile to go, but two horses passed him and he finished third by a length.

Pletcher said his horse is responding well to treatment, but owner Mike Repole still lists him as “50-50” for the Derby.

“As bad as I want to be in

the Kentucky Derby, as bad as I want to win the Kentucky Derby, I will never sacrifice a horse’s health for my ego,” Repole said.

“Until May 7 comes around and he’s at that gate, there’s no guarantees in this game. And that doesn’t just include Uncle Mo, but that also includes the other 19 starters.”

Pletcher knows better than anyone what can happen on the way to the starting gate. Last year, he arrived with Derby favorite Eskendereya only to lose the horse six days before the race with a leg injury.

He still won with long shot Super Saver, ending an 0for -24 skid in America’s greatest race.

In 2009, Derby favorite I Want Revenge was scratched on the morning of the race with an ankle injury.

“She just kind of got down to business,” Coach Joyce said. “Today she was more focused and she was ready to get down to business and concentrated on what had to be done. She was very comfortable and it all kind of fell into place.”

In doubles, Goddard’s Katie Hillman and Shannon DuChar me advanced to state with a second-place finish.

The Rocket duo won their first-round match against Artesia’s Morgan Richardson and Alondra Dominguez, 6-3, 6-2 and advanced to the finals with

Estancia on Saturday.

Salas smacked three singles, while Sanchez had a triple and a single for the Demons.

Dexter coach Chanda Crandall said that she hoped the win would move her team above Estancia in the polls.

“I think getting to or above .500 is a really good goal for us,” she said. “(The win) also helped that this week we went down in the polls and Estancia moved up. We beat them today and hopefully we will move back above them.”

Taylor Miles went six innings and picked up the win for the Demons.

Roswell’s Freddie Romero won the District 4-4A boys singles title and advanced to the state tournament, which starts Wednesday.

Romero, the No. 1 seed, had a bye in the first round and, in the semis, he beat Goddard’s Darren Powers, 6-1, 6-0.

In the finals, Romero beat the Rockets’ Eric Lamm, 6-0, 6-0.

Roswell coach Kelly McDonald said that Romero should receive a high seed at the state tournament.

“Freddie has been the

guy to beat in this district all year,” he said. “He is undefeated against 4A opponents this year and should be a top seed at state.”

In other boys singles play, Roswell’s Geyer Thompson lost in the first round to Artesia’s Alonzo Samora, 6-2, 6-1.

In boys doubles play, the Coyotes Trevor Pope and Carlos Ruiz advanced to the third-place match, but fell to Artesia’s Aaron Solares and Taylor Richardson, 6-2, 6-4.

On the girls side, Mary Romero finished second in the singles tour nament, losing to Goddard’s Gabby

George Mason hires Paul Hewitt FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — After losing a Final Four coach to the Atlantic Coast Conference, George Mason got one in return.

The Patriots on Saturday hired former Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt to replace Jim Larranaga, who left this month for the University of Miami.

“Both are very good coaches,” George Mason athletic director Tom O’Connor said. “We were glad to have Jim, and we’re proud to have Paul.”

Hewitt was fired by Georgia Tech last month.

He took the Yellow Jackets to the Final Four in 2004, but that was the only season he had a winning record in ACC play.

He went 190-162 over 11 years at the school and was 72-104 in the conference.

Georgia Tech went 1318 this season and failed to sell out any games at its 9,100-seat arena.

Money was a major reason the Patriots lost Larranaga, who took George Mason to the Final Four in 2006 and is the winningest coach in school history. Hewitt, 47, is receiving a $7.2 million buyout over five years from Georgia Tech, which would seem to make him more afford-

able for a Colonial Athletic Association school like GMU. “That was never a consideration we had,” O’Connor said. “We felt like he was right person to have. He fit all the criteria we were looking for.”

Hewitt arrived at Georgia Tech in 2000 after posting a 66-27 record in

day.

The Colts only had to play the singles portion of the match and got wins from Jose Gonzalez (first; 6-3, 6-4), Frederico Sanchez (second; 6-2, 6-1), Jorge Garza (third; 6-3, 61), Luis Zaragoza (fourth; 6-2, 6-3), Jerry Estrella (fifth; 6-0, 6-0) and Maricio Moncada (sixth; 6-4, 4-6, 7-6).

NMMI coach Jim Kelly said that after a tight win over Lovington earlier in

three seasons at Siena.

George Mason plans to introduce Hewitt at a news conference on Monday.

“Paul is an excellent teacher of basketball,” O’Connor said. “He’s a great communicator. He’s done wonderful things in the community. We felt he was the total package.”

the week, he wanted his team to come out and make a statement.

“It was a fantastic win,” he said. “When we played Lovington on Tuesday, we had matches that could have gone either way.

When we came in today, I told them that we needed to make a statement and we took care of business.”

With the win, NMMI pushed its unbeaten record to 15-0. l.foster@roswell-record.com

Halladay’s gem leads Phillies over Mets, Rays edge Angels PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy Halladay pitched a seven-hitter to help Philadelphia set a club record with its 18th victory in April as the Phillies beat the New York Mets 2-1 on Saturday.

Halladay (4-1) allowed one run and walked one while striking out eight to lead the Phillies to their third straight victory.

Philadelphia went 17-5 in April 1993.

The NL Cy Young award winner cruised in the beginning of the game— his first 18 pitches were all strikes before missing high with a fastball to Jose Reyes.

It was his seventh straight win over the Mets dating back to the 2006 season.

Mets starter Jonathon Niese (2-3) took the loss after Placido Polanco’s sacrifice fly in the seventh broke a 1-1 tie.

Niese escaped jams in the fifth and sixth before John Mayberry Jr. tied it in the seventh with his first homer of the year. Wilson Valdez then singled to right field and Dane Sardinha drew a walk.

Halladay struck out after his bunt attempt was called foul by the home plate umpire. Shane Victorino singled to right to chase load the bases and chase Niese.

Polanco followed with a sacrifice fly to right to break the tie.

A stellar play by second baseman Daniel Murphy on a hard grounder by Jimmy Rollins ended the inning.

Murphy dove to his right and flipped the ball to shortstop Reyes — although replays showed Victorino beat the play.

Niese pitched 6 1-3 innings allowing two runs and six hits. He struck out three and walked two. At one point he retired 11 straight batters after giving up a one-out double to the second batter of the game, Polanco.

It was New York's third straight loss after winning six in a row.

The Mets left-hander ran into trouble in the fifth when he hit Ben Francisco to start the frame and then gave up a single to Mayberry Jr. Niese then got Wilson Valdez to hit into a doubleplay and later retired Halladay on a pop out to Murphy to end the inning.

The Phillies threatened again in the sixth on consecutive one-out singles by Polanco and Rollins.

Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard then flew out to right-center field, allowing Polanco to advance to third. Niese escaped the inning when first baseman

Arkansas Derby, while Jaycito bowed out with a bruised front foot.

“You can have so many and everything can just go right down the toilet,” Baffert said. “I’ve been down this road so many times. I just get them ready as best as I can and see what happens.”

Rumors have circulated about Uncle Mo’s health and whether he is sound enough to run 1 1/4 miles in the always crowded and contentious Derby — the first of thoroughbred racing’s three Triple Crown events.

“With 20 horses, anything can happen,” Baffert said.

Repole said he’s been assured by the colt’s veterinarian that Uncle Mo “is the most sound horse that Todd Pletcher has in the barn.”

“And Todd has about 140 horses. So how can I not feel confident with that statement?” he said.

But Uncle Mo’s upset loss squelched his hype, with many Derby handi-

Ike Davis chased Francisco’s foul ball after a long run and made an over-the shoulder catch.

The Mets got to the Philadelphia ace in the fourth on three straight hits. Murphy singled to right and David Wright reached on an infield hit to third. Carlos Beltran’s single to center scored Murphy. Halladay escaped without further damage.

Rays 2, Angels 1 (10 innings) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — An outstanding pitching duel ended on one errant pitch.

Matt Joyce scored from third on a wild pitch with two outs in the 10th inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Saturday.

Joyce opened the 10th with a double off Fernando Rodney (0-1). After Ben Zobrist lined out and Casey Kotchman moved Joyce to third with a grounder, Rodney threw a 1-2 pitch into the dirt well off the plate that eluded catcher Hank Conger.

“Hank did all he could,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “That would have been an incredible stop.”

Rays manager Joe Maddon gave credit to Kotchman for advancing the runner and the lead Joyce got on third before the wild pitch.

“Especially with a guy like Rodney. He’s going to throw some balls in the dirt,” Maddon said.

The Rays, at 15-12, are the first team to finish April with a winning record after opening the season with a six-game losing streak.

Tampa Bay’s James Shields took a shutout into the ninth before giving up a double to Torii Hunter to open the inning. Kyle Farnsworth came in and Hunter later scored to tie it at one on Howie Kendrick’s grounder.

Farnsworth had converted all five of his previous save opportunities this season. The right-hander was OK after taking Ver non Wells’ grounder in the ninth off his shin.

Joyce also homered for the Rays, who have won six of seven. Joel Peralta (1-0) struck out two during a perfect 10th.

Angels right-hander Joel Pineiro gave up one run and four hits over seven innings in his first start this year. He started the regular season on the 15day disabled list due to right shoulder tightness.

Shields allowed one run, six hits, one walk and tied a career -high with 12 strikeouts in eight-plus cappers quickly writing him off.

“People are coming down on him. I think we’ve set him of f on a pedestal maybe too quickly,” said Graham Motion, who trains Wood Memorial winner Toby’s Corner.

“I see no reason why the horse couldn’t come back and run a big race next time.”

Indeed, Secretariat lost the 1973 Wood Memorial and rebounded to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont that year.

Dialed In, trained by two-time winner Nick Zito, has moved into the role of probable favorite almost by default. He used his late-running style to win the Florida Derby by a head over Shackleford, albeit in an unimpressively slow time.

“Frankly, I’d almost prefer him to be the second, third or fourth choice because I, like everybody else, worries about favorites,” owner Robert LaPenta said. “He deserves the accolades and, hopefully, he’ll prove that whoever gave him that spot was right on Derby day.

“It’s going to come

Shields was coming off consecutive four-hit victories over Toronto and the Chicago White Sox. The pair of wins, in which the right-hander allowed just one run, followed a stretch of nine straight winless starts, dating back to last year.

Cardinals 3, Braves 2 ATLANTA (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals closed the first month of the season with thrilling back-to-back late-inning comebacks.

Gerald Laird’s ninthinning triple capped a late rally to give the Cardinals a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Backed by rookie Brandon Beachy’s seven scoreless innings to start the game, the Braves led 2-0 before St. Louis began its comeback. David Freese tied the game with a tworun single in the eighth before Laird’s go-ahead triple drove in Matt Holliday.

The Cardinals also rallied late in Friday night’s 5-3 win, tying the game in the ninth before winning in 11 innings.

“You like to win by 10 runs, but to come out and win two big games like this, coming back shows a lot,” Laird said.

The Cardinals have won four straight and 14 of their last 19 to move into first place in the NL Central.

Closer Craig Kimbrel (0down to, like it always does, who’s the best horse that day and who has the most luck that day,” he said.

Midnight Interlude won the Santa Anita Derby by a nose, and will be trying to become the first Kentucky Derby winner since 1882 not to have raced as a 2-year-old.

“He went from zero to hero,” Baffert said. “This horse is just getting better with every out.”

The Derby field, expected to be full at 20 horses, will include Arkansas Derby winner Archarcharch and Risen Star winner Mucho Macho Man, whose trainer Kathy Ritvo will try to become the first woman to win a Derby.

Rosie Napravnik is aiming for that honor, too, when she rides Louisiana Derby winner Pants on Fire. Like Mucho Macho Man, he has just two wins in eight races.

Rangers 11, Athletics 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Colby Lewis pitched eight strong innings, Texas hit three home runs, including back-to-back shots by Nelson Cruz and Mike Napoli in the fourth, and the Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 11-2 on Saturday.

Michael Young hit his first homer of the season as the Rangers tagged A’s starter Brett Anderson for seven runs in five innings while snapping a two-game losing streak.

Lewis (2-3) allowed six hits with a season-high six strikeouts to win for the first time since April 2. The right-hander had lost his previous three starts while getting one run or fewer of support.

Kurt Suzuki and Josh Willingham homered for Oakland, which failed in its attempt to get above .500 for only the second time this season.

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4 NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Chavez drove in a run and broke up a potential double play that helped lead to three more, making the most of a spot start and sending the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Derek Jeter hit a sacrifice fly, and Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Brett Gardner also drove in runs for the Yankees, who played small ball to perfection against Toronto.

Kyle Drabek (2-1) took the loss.

Hammel (3-1) allowed six

hits, including Andrew McCutchen’s eighth career homer to start a game.

But Hammel kept the Pirates in check after that, striking out four and walking two. He also benefited from a Rockies defense that turned three double plays.

Rafael Betancourt pitched a scoreless eighth and Huston Street got the final three outs for his NLleading 10th save in 10 chances.

Paul Maholm (1-4) allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings.

Watson, Simpson share Zurich Classic SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Bubba Watson made a 4foot birdie putt on the par5 18th hole for a 2-under 70 and a share of thirdround lead with Webb Simpson on Saturday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Simpson had five straight birdies in a 67 to match Watson, who has had at least a share of the lead after all three rounds, at 12-under 204 at TPC Louisiana.

Watson needed to birdie

the 588-yard 18th to get into the final group Sunday. After hitting his 250yard approach into a greenside bunker, he blasted out to 4 feet to set up his birdie putt.

“Knowing that if I stroke this well, I’m tied for the lead and not one back, knowing I’m in the final group,” said Watson, the Torrey Pines winner in January for his second tour title. “There was a lot of pressure on that for me.

Somehow it went in dead

center, and so I’m in the final group.”

John Rollins (69) was third at 11 under, and 2002 winner K.J. Choi (67) was 10 under along with Steve Stricker (68), George McNeill (65), Charles Howell III (66), Tommy Gainey (68) and Matt Jones (69).

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Sixteen-year -old Alexis Thompson moved into position to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history, shooting a 5under 67 in breezy conditions Saturday for a share of the third-round lead with Song-Hee Kim in the Avnet LPGA Classic.

Kim had a 70 to match Thompson at 7-under 209 on The Crossings course at the Robert T rent Jones Golf Trail’s Magnolia Grove complex.

“I’m going into (Sunday) just going all-in on every golf shot,” Thompson said.

“Play consistent like I have the last few days and hopefully it’ll all go well.”

Thompson will be 16 years, 2 months, 21 days Sunday. Marlene Hagge was 18 years, 14 days when she won the 1952 Sarasota Open, which was an 18-hole event. Hagge won two 18-hole events at 18. Paula Creamer is the youngest winner of a multi-round event, winning the 2005 Sybase Classic at 18 years, 9 months, 17 days.

Amy Yang was a stroke back after a 72, and Maria Hjorth (67), Suzann Pettersen (71) and Karen Stupples (72) were 5 under.

Second-round leader Sandra Gal was 4 under after a 75.

Thompson stole the day.

The teen from Coral Springs, Fla., only celebrated her 16th birthday in February, and got her first car — a Camaro SS — a few months ago. Thompson played in the U.S. Women’s Open at 12, and turned pro last year after going 5-0 for the United States in the Curtis Cup. Thompson said she did not notice her top spot on the leaderboard until she was heading up to the 18th green.

“I hadn’t been looking at the leaderboard, since I’m not trying to worry about that,” she said.

Thompson dodged trouble on the finishing hole

after hitting her approach into the greenside rough.

“I was just hoping, ‘Don’t go in the bunker,”’ she said. “When I hit it, I was just like, ‘Wow, that was really bad.’ But that’s golf.

You hit shots like that.

You’ve just got to take it and go find it.”

And she did. But Kim saved par after landing in the bunker.

“I had a great lie on the bunker so I knew I had par,” Kim said. “I had a lot of confidence. I think that’s why I made par.”

Thompson made a number of mid-range putts, including one on No. 16 for the last of her six birdies.

“We got the wind right on a lot of holes today,” said Scott Thompson, her father and caddie. “We were pretty good at judging the wind and when we did make a mistake like (on 18), she recovered from it.

She’s hitting it good. She made a lot of putts. She made like five putts from about 12-15 feet, which sometimes we don’t make.”

Gal struggled after opening with rounds of 70 and 67 to enter the day with a one-stroke lead over Yang.

“It kind of played tough today,” Gal said. “The greens were really bouncy, and I just wasn’t striking the ball as well. Basically, a par round and I would have been happy today but I missed three short putts.

“I’m still in the mix. I’m just three shots back, so nothing to worry about.”

Hjorth Hjorth overcame back-to-back bogeys early with three birdies over the final 10 holes coupled with an eagle on the par-5 16th hole.

She set up her 15-foot eagle putt with a 3-wood approach.

“It was a really good second shot,” said Hjorth, who won in 2007 on a Robert T rent Jones Golf Trail course in Prattville.

“The wind was coming up so it was kind of the perfect shape to get into the pin.”

in the world a week ago when he lost playof f to Brandt Snedeker at Hilton Head, was 7 under after a 70.

Simpson, winless on the PGA Tour, birdied Nos. 3-7, then closed with 11 pars.

He has a share of the 54hole lead for the first time in his career.

“I’ve always slept pretty good going back to college and amateur days holding the lead,” said Simpson, who tied for second behind Phil Mickelson on April 3 in Houston. “But this is why we do what we do.

This is why we work out, why we practice, to give ourselves a chance to win on the PGA Tour.

“I think that will kind of calm my nerves.”

Rollins is a three-time tour winner.

“I’ve felt very comfortable on the golf course this week,” Rollins said. “We’ve got three good ones, hoping for one more.”

Watson made a 3-foot birdie putt on the first hole to open a two-shot lead. He appeared to be in position to increase the lead on the par-5 second after a 321yard drive, but his 3-iron approach from 256 yards rolled over the green and came to rest near a cypress tree. He stubbed his chip and settled for par.

He three-putted the par3 third hole for bogey from 47 feet and added another bogey on the sixth to fall back to 9 under, at that point two shots behind Simpson, who was playing three groups in front of

Watson.

The 32-year-old Watson then birdied the two par-5s on the back nine to tie Simpson.

“It was hard to make a lot of putts, for me,” Watson said. “The greens are getting burned out. Hopefully, they don’t lose them

by Monday. Some of them are getting pretty brown.

“Other guys on the board were making some putts, but for me it was a tough

day.”

Simpson quickly made up a three-shot deficit, beginning with a 6-foot birdie putt on the third hole. He followed with a 33-footer on the fourth and a 16-footer on the fifth hole to get to 10 under.

A 62-foot chip-in on the sixth gave him the lead at 11 under, and he closed out the streak with a 4footer on the par-5 seventh hole.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The state of Utah filed a lawsuit Friday against the federal government over an Obama administration plan to make millions of acres of undeveloped land in the West eligible for federal wilderness protection.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert called the plan a “midnight ambush.” He agreed that wilderness areas deserve protection but said the federal policy circumvents state efforts to determine what areas should be deemed wilder ness and whether it would har m Utah’s economy.

Herbert, a Republican, said he hoped Alaska, Idaho and Wyoming would soon join the lawsuit. The three states also have Republican governors. A spokesman for the Wyoming attorney general’s office said the state is considering its options. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter also planned to review the lawsuit.

“We will have further discussions about the concerns raised by the state of Utah. Clearly we have very similar concer ns,” said Otter spokesman Jon Hanian.

Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell said his state would “participate and support” the

lawsuit.

Herbert claims the new policy, announced Dec. 23, has no statutory authority and should be overturned.

He insisted the order sets aside years of work by the state that would now have to be redone.

“How many do-overs do we need?” he said.

Kendra Barkof f, a spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, said she had no comment on the lawsuit.

A budget deal approved

by Congress earlier this month includes language that prohibits the Interior Department from spending money to implement the wilderness policy.

GOP lawmakers had complained the wilderness plan would circumvent Congress’ authority and could be used to declare a vast swath of public land of f-limits to oil-and-gas drilling.

The so-called “wild lands” policy would restore eligibility for wilderness protection to millions of acres of public lands, reversing a Bush-era policy that opened some Western lands to commercial development.

Salazar calls the new policy a commonsense solution that would help the

Marie Rose Lynch

Marie Rose Lynch passed away, Tuesday April 26, 2011. She is survived by her children, Tim (Becky) L ynch, of Roswell, and Patty (Gar) Thor nton, of Shelton, Wash. She is also survived by granddaughters, Carissa (Tina) Lynch, Nikki (Craig) Duran, Cybil L ync, and Amy Thornton.

She is also survived by great-grandchildren, Noah and Hailey L ynch, Kelsie, Kirsten, Kaylen, Karly, Renden and Madisen Duran, and Brittany and Christopher Lynch.

Marie was born Oct. 14, 1920, and raised in Chester, Pa. Upon entering the military service, she met and married Elbert Dale L ynch. Soon after their marriage, Marie took an honorable discharge from the service in order to pursue her true passion; being a mother. While she was employed part time at the school cafeteria throughout her working years and retired from the Roswell Independent

School District, she considered her children and her grandchildren her main job and focus. There were many years where swings, bicycles, dolls and sidewalk chalk were a per manent fixture in the Lynch’s front and back yards. On any given occasion, one could find her holding or rocking grandbabies to sleep, and many observed the sign on the door that said “Please knock. Grandma and baby are sleeping!”

Marie was a faithful friend to many and was often times the helping hand counted on by the elderly or disabled in Roswell, whether it was babysitting, running errands for those who no longer drove, or simply giving a hair cut or perm. She loved to sit and visit and enjoy a cup of coffee while talking about the events of the time, or reminiscing about the past.

Marie’s artistic talents were enjoyed by many. Her house was a part of many Roswellite’s Christmas lights tour, and she was asked numerous times if a picture of her beautifully decorated home could be taken and kept by delighted passersby.

A memorial service will be held Monday, May 2, 2011, at 2 p.m., at St. Peter Catholic Church, where Marie was a member for more than 60 years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital 1800-822-6344, stjude.org.

City of Roswell 2010 Water Quality Report

Spanish (Español) Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre la calidad de su agua potable. Por favor lea este informe o comuniquese con alguien que pueda traducir la informacion.

Is my water safe?

We are pleased to present the 2010 Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. This report is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.

Do I need to take special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/Centers for Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).

Where does my water come from?

Our water source is ground water which draws water from the San Andreas water basin. We are currently producing water from twenty water wells with the capability of producing forty-one million gallons per day and we are capable of storing twenty-four million gallons of water in our reservoirs.

Source water assessment and its availability The susceptibility analysis of the Roswell Municipal Water System Utility reveals that the utility is well maintained and operated, and the sources of drinking water are generally protected from potential sources of contamination based on well construction, hydrogeologic settings, and system operations and management. The susceptibility rank of the entire water system is moderately low. The source water assessment report is available at the State of New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Drinking Water Bureau (DWB) 525 Camino de Los Marquez, Suite 4, Santa Fe, NM 87505. Copies may also be requested by calling toll free 1-877-654-8720. Please include your name, address, telephone number, and email address and the name of the Water System. NMED-DWB may charge a nominal fee for paper copies.

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

How can I get involved?

If you have any questions concerning this report, please call Central Control with the City of Roswell at 575-347-5421.

Additional Information for Lead If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Roswell Municipal Water System is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Water Quality Data Table

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels.

Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table.

Obama mocks Trump’s presidential ambitions WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama exercised his revenge Saturday after weeks of attacks from his would-be Republican challenger Donald Trump, joking that the billionaire businessman could bring change to the White House, transforming it from a stately mansion into a tacky casino with a whirlpool in the garden.

With Trump in attendance, Obama used the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner to mock the reality TV star’s presidential ambitions. The president said Trump has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of “Celebrity Apprentice” to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama’s birthplace.

After a week when Obama released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate, he said Trump could now focus on the serious issues, from whether the moon

landing actually happened to “where are Biggie and Tupac?”

“No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than ‘the Donald,’” Obama said, referring to Trump’s claims the same day that he was responsible for solving the issue.

For Trump’s decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: “These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir.”

Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.

“Donald T rump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising,” said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. “I just assumed he was running as a joke.”

Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the

real estate tycoon.

The two men found themselves in the same room after an intense week of attacks from Trump, who has piggybacked on the birther conspiracies and even Obama’s refusal to release his university grades to raise the profile of his possible presidential bid.

And the birth certificate was clearly the key punchline for the evening, which typically offers the president a chance to show off his humorous side and a town consumed by politics and partisanship to enjoy a light-hearted affair.

Obama’s presentation started after the wrestler Hulk Hogan’s patriotic anthem, “Real American,” played. Images of Americana from Mount Rushmore to Uncle Sam were shown on the screen, alongside his birth certificate. And then he offered to show his live birth video, which turned out to be a clip from the Disney film, “The Lion King.”

On the serious side, Obama took time to thank the troops

Roswell Daily Record

for their service overseas and noted that the people of the South, especially Alabama, have suffered heart-wrenching losses.

“The devastation is unbelievable and it is heartbreaking,” he said. He encouraged the journalists in the room to help tell the stories of those who have been hurt by the storms and saluted those who lost their lives while covering the news.

Other possible Republican presidential hopefuls in attendance were former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Rep. Michele Bachmann and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. And stars such as Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson also were among the 3,000 people who attended.

The association was formed in 1914 as a liaison between the press and the president.

Every president since Calvin Coolidge has attended the dinner. Some of the proceeds from the dinner pay for journalism scholarships for college stu-

dents.

Several journalists will also be honored at the dinner: • Dan Balz of The Washington Post and Jake Tapper of ABC News, for winning the Merriman Smith Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure. Balz won for coverage of an unexpected appearance by Obama and former President Bill Clinton at a White House briefing, and Tapper won for revealing that Obama would ask Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair to resign.

• Peter Baker of The New York T imes, for winning the Aldo Beckman award for sustained excellence in White House coverage, for stories dubbed “the education of a president.”

• Michael Berens of The Seattle Times, for winning the Edgar A. Poe Award for excellence in coverage of news of national or regional significance. Berens uncovered flaws in a health care plan for seniors that resulted in neglect, abuse and even death.

Deadline looms for ‘Two and a Half Men’ decision LOS ANGELES (AP) — There are 2 1/2 weeks left for Warner Bros. Television and CBS to decide the fate of “Two and a Half Men.” With CBS unveiling its fall schedule for advertisers in New York on May 18, deadline pressure is on the network, Warner and “Men” executive producer Chuck Lorre to develop a postCharlie Sheen version of the sitcom or kill what’s been a highly lucrative property for all.

Whether the show is returning, who’s in the cast and whether a revamped format would be ready for a fall debut or be delayed until midseason will be

resolved before the “upfront” sales presentation to Madison Avenue, according to an executive close to the situation.

The executive spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because Warner and CBS would not authorize public comment on the show’s status.

Speculation has swirled about who might fill the void left by Sheen, joining Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones in the cast that also features Holland Taylor.

Some actors seen as potential candidates, including John Stamos and Rob Lowe, have indicated their interests are elsewhere.

Jay Mohr says he’d jump

at the chance. The actor comedian, whose credits include the sitcoms “Action!” and “Gary Unmarried,” is playing what was described to him as a “Charlie Sheen-esque” type in Sunday’s season debut of USA’s “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”

Stepping in to the sitcom for Sheen is far different than trying to fill the shoes of a “beloved man” like John Ritter, who died while starring in “8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,” he said.

“This is a guy who lit a match, lit the fuse, and it took off,” Mohr said of the for mer “Two and a Half Men” star.

It’s been nearly two

months since Warner fired Sheen in the show’s eighth season, a move that followed the hard-living actor’s bouts of wild partying, repeated hospitalizations and a bitter media campaign against his studio bosses who shut down production.

When Warner announced its decision to can him on March 7, it took pains to note that the show itself had not been canceled and its future was undecided.

Since then, Sheen’s offbeat stage tour has consumed attention. So has the actor’s $100 million lawsuit against Warner and Lorre, and Sheen’s custody fight with Brooke Mueller over their twin sons.

The first annual Walk for Hope Survivors

Living with cancer can be difficult, many things spiral and manifest into other hurdles that eventually build up so high patients lose hope in jumping over. Cancer doesn’t just affect the patient, it affects everyone that patient knows, including their family. It’s emotional, heartbreaking, and at times very stressful. It leaves lives in limbo not knowing what the future will hold or what kind of timetable this new life will give a person. Cancer is becoming more of a common illness these days and more and more people have to go through this life altering experience without insurance to pay for the expenses that lie ahead. Cancer patients are having trouble finding ways to pay their co-pays, doctor visits, prescriptions and treatments. State insurance pools can be limited due to budget cuts or economic hardship, but there are many programs patients can apply for to see if they qualify for assistance. Sometimes that assistance isn’t enough. Roswell’s cancer center has improved over the years and many cancers can be treated in town. Children with cancer however, have to travel to nearby cities to get the treatments they need and traveling alone can also build up the list of many expenses families already have with a child that has cancer.

The community of Roswell has stepped up again to host its second annual Walk for Hope to help out the cancer patients in the community. The Walk for Hope will help the Chaves County Cancer Fund replenish their funds to help those with cancer in times of great need. “We put on this event to help cancer patients with their practical needs, especially if some of those patients are unable to work. Some let the electricity bill go unpaid to buy food to nourish themselves, then the next bill comes and people have to choose what is more important, electricity or food,” said Julie Marrow, event coordinator. All the funds that would be raised in this event are for the use of Chaves County cancer patients. Only those residents in the county would be eligible to receive the assistance.

“We want to honor those people who have gone through cancer and those who are going through it.” The event for this year has already surpassed last year’s event with more sponsors and participants already anxious for the event to begin. Some participants aren’t sitting idly by until May 13; some are already working on their own fundraisers to help the cause.

“Big Red Big Hope” has more than 100 people on its team for the walk, and came up with other ways to build funds by making jewelry. Marrow demonstrated a bracelet, with various cancer awareness colors, she wears proudly as homage to her mother who lost her battle with breast cancer. The team per-

are going through it.

sonalizes various jewelry items in various colors of the customer’s choosing.

Many people in the community are flocking toward the team for their custom pieces. Big Red is also working on another project called “The Potty Patrol.” A customer may ask the team for a potty, which costs $15, to be delivered to a person of the customer’s choosing; they will then deliver that potty to the person’s house. The recipient of that potty may call Big Red and have the potty removed for the cost of $20 and it may be passed to another person. They also sell insurance to make sure that the potty doesn’t return back to a particular individual.

“Teams have been very creative in their fundraising. Potty Patrol is very clever. Other teams and participants have been having bake sales, car washes selling Pink Links, even Senior Circle’s team The Cure Seekers are having a silent auction.”

The Walk for Hope is sure to be an event to remember. “The Parks and Recreation have been awesome to work with. They set up Cielo Grande for us, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with.” From 6 p.m. to midnight participants will be walking the track for the evening. Cancer survivors will be honored with food and a special cake. The survivors have no fees to pay to join the walk, but they do have the honor in walking the first lap.

They will even showcase the youngest and oldest survivor. “I hope to see a thousand survivors there that night.” During the walk there will be many festivities that everyone can enjoy, including having your face painted by the talented Mark Reid. He has decided part of his proceeds will go towards Walk for Hope. Other festivities will include a talent showcase, raffle, decoration contests for the team sites, magicians and jugglers, hula dancing and Zumba dancing. At dark the luminarie ceremony will begin. This part of the walk is more of the somber respectful time in the event where they will remember those who have lost their battle. Luminaries can be purchased and participants can include their own special message. Many sponsors have done a fantastic job helping shape this event. Kymera, Bank of the Southwest, and many other businesses in the community have all lent a hand and will be recognized the evening of the walk.

It’s not too late to register for the event. The public is encouraged to come out and have fun for a good cause. Volunteers are still needed and any help would be greatly appreciated. The goal Marrow has set out for this year’s event was to double last year’s funds. With the response of sponsors and participants it may meet its goal and also help patients get what they truly need, hope.

Sentiments are more valued than gifts on Mother's Day

Q: My siblings and I want to give our mom a nice Mother’s Day. But we want to do something more creative than just taking her to lunch. Do you have any suggestions?

Jim: I’d take the opportunity to just talk to her. Tell her why you love her and what you appreciate about her.

For some reason, that’s hard to do, even with those closest to us. We often take the people we love for granted.

One day, when I was 7, I felt especially lonely. My dad was out of the picture, and my mom was at work. My older siblings were home, but busy with their own activities. So I moped around the house, loudly exclaiming, “Nobody loves me!” Much to my dismay, no one wanted to join in my pity party.

So I packed a sweater and a snack and eventually ended up at the restaurant where Mom was working. I walked up to her and said, “Mom, nobody loves me!” She was stuck with a customer, so she told me to go sit in her car. I ate my snack in the front seat and fell asleep.

The next thing I knew, Mom was gently tucking me into my bed at home. Despite my whining earlier in the day, I felt very loved, and very safe, in that moment.

I wish I could share this story with Mom today. But she passed away many years ago. There’s nothing wrong with dinner or flowers on Mother’s Day. But if you can recall stories from childhood that convey how much you felt loved by your mom, that will likely be the best gift she could possibly receive. Give it a try!

DR. JULI SLATTERY FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

Q: My adolescent daughter frequently hits her siblings.

She is the oldest child. I am at a loss as to what the best consequence is for this type of behavior. Where do I begin?

Juli: This is obviously behavior that you don’t want to tolerate in your home. When an older child hits younger siblings, it’s called bullying and should be treated that way.

Often parents treat all bad behavior with the same response. They punish their kids identically whether they spill the milk, forget to make their bed or tell a lie.

The problem with this approach is that children are not able to distinguish between behaviors that are merely annoying and those that are completely unacceptable.

Hitting her younger siblings should be treated as a very serious violation of family rules. I recommend that you and your spouse sit down with your daughter, state clearly that you will not allow her to hit her younger siblings and spell out the way you expect her to behave as the oldest child. Let her know what consequence she can

expect if she does it again. Make the consequences painful, like, “You will be grounded from everything but school for a week.”

As firm as you should be in setting your expectations and enforcing consequences, also give your daughter the opportunity to share with you why she is hitting her siblings. Younger children can very skillfully needle their older siblings and act like innocent victims in the process. For example, they may be reading her journal or teasing her about her acne. Perhaps you need to respect your daughter’s growing independence by making her room off-limits to siblings, or giving her unique privileges that she can earn through responsible behavior.

One final note ... until things settle down, don’t give in to the convenience of letting your adolescent daughter baby-sit her siblings, even for 10 minutes. Free baby-sitting isn’t worth adding fuel to the fire.

If you’ve been to New Mexico, you know the question: green or red? Of course, this is referring to the state’s notorious culinary specialty, green and red chile. In the Land of Enchantment, chile is a staple, something added to almost any dish. Green chile fries are particularly popular, but Chef Neil Stuart at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa’s Artesian Restaurant has a new, quite literal take, on an old favorite.

GREEN CHILE FRIES with Hot ‘n Sweet Vinegar Poblano Chiles: Cut in half, lengthwise, seed, and cut into ½ inch wide strips lengthwise.

Breading Procedure: In succession: Coat chile strips with Wondra Flour, egg wash (whole eggs whipped with a little water), potato flakes (instant mashed potato flakes). Be sure to really press the chiles into the potato flakes to coat well.

Obama: Rising gas prices mean oil company profits Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama declared Saturday that oil companies are profiting from rising gasoline prices and urged Congress once again to end $4 billion a year in oil and gas company tax breaks.

“These tax giveaways aren’t right,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “They aren’t smart. And we need to end them.”

Obama has been sparring with congressional Republicans over the skyrocketing cost of gasoline, which has topped $4 a gallon in some regions of the country, more than $1 dollar higher than a year ago. The rising prices have contributed to a slowdown in economic growth and have hurt Obama’s public approval ratings.

The Exxon Mobile Corp. this week reported nearly $11 billion in profits for the first quarter of this year but said it had no control over oil prices. Other oil companies also reported huge gains.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., says he plans to consider Obama’s proposal as early as next week.

The president said money recouped from

ending the oil and gas tax subsidies should be used on new energy resources and research. He said he refuses to cut spending on clean energy initiatives.

“An investment in clean energy today is an investment in a better tomorrow,” he said. “And I think that’s an investment worth making.”

Obama’s critics say his call to end such subsidies is merely support for new tax increases that would end up costing jobs.

“The president may think he’s punishing CEOs of big companies, but his plan will hurt the everyday consumer of energy and imperil the jobs of millions of hardworking people in American-based companies,” Rep. James Lankford, a first-term congressman from Oklahoma, said in the Republicans’ weekly address.

In his address, Obama said the economy was growing again and took note of nearly 2 million new private sector jobs in the last 13 months. But the president did not mention that the pace of the recovery slowed significantly in the first three months of this year. The nation’s economy grew at a 1.8 percent annual rate during that quar-

ter, a much slower pace than the 3.1 percent rate reported in the previous three months.

High gasoline prices, bad winter weather and steep government spending cuts were responsible for the slowdown.

Eager to show action on gas costs, Obama has repeatedly called for ending the tax subsidies to oil and gas companies, even while conceding that they would not have an immediate effect on prices. He has also called for the Justice Department to investigate possible price fixing and said this week that he was also prodding OPEC nations such as Saudi Arabia to increase production.

“I also believe that instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, we should invest in tomorrow’s,” he said.

Lankford also warned that Republicans would not vote to raise the nation’s debt ceiling — now at $14.3 trillion — in the coming weeks unless the measure also includes steps to cut government spending. Presidents have agreed to such deals in the past, and Obama this month, in an interview with The Associated Press, con-

ceded that some spending restrictions might be necessary to win an increase in the debt ceiling. Without raising that limit, the government would default on its debts.

Memphis sanitation workers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Labor Secretary Hilda Solis on Friday honored the 1,300 black workers who took part in the Memphis sanitation strike of 1968, taking a swipe at governors who are trying to curtail public union employees’ benefits.

The strike, where Martin Luther King Jr. made his final campaign before an assassin’s bullet took his life, played a major role in the civil rights movement and the fight for social and economic justice for black workers. It is also considered a watershed moment in the history of collective bargaining rights for public employees, a point Solis raised as she criticized the move in some states to curb bargaining rights for public workers.

“Today, some governors are using the financial crisis as an excuse to take this country backward, instead of forward,” Solis said in a ceremony at the agency’s headquarters.

“But we know American workers still want and need a voice at the table. We know collective bargaining gives them that seat.”

Solis formally inducted all 1,300 of the striking workers into the agency’s Labor Hall of Fame, founded in 1988 to honor the memory of people who have enhanced the quality of life for American workers. The hall of fame typically includes famous union heroes like Cesar Chavez and Mother Jones.

Colo. breweries give grain second life as livestock feed

AP Photo

Beer enthusiast Tracey Kling describes how malt is used to make beer during the Females and Ales group at Crazy Mountain Brewery in Edwards, Colo., March 15.

FRISCO, Colo. (AP) — When Dillon Dam Brewery staff headed to Boulder’s Microbreweries for the Environment event April 22, they showcased beer whose grain waste doesn’t go to the landfill.

In Colorado brewing’s nascent stages, environmental activists had the idea to use the emerging trend to benefit environmental causes, volunteer event organizer Marianne Martin said.

One way Summit County’s breweries are

making sustainable strides is in the same agricultural arena. That’s, of course, beyond the usual story line of catering to local markets.

Instead of ending up in the Dumpster, “brewer’s grain” from Pug Ryan’s and the Dillon Dam Brewery is picked up by rancher Bill George, who owns Shadow Creek Ranch about 23 miles north of Silverthorne. George uses it to complement his livestock’s hay diet in winter.

Hay is expensive, George said, and cattle thrive on the brewer’s grain — they gain extra pounds and it provides good marbling in the meat.

“The profit margin in the High Country is not as great as in an area where (cattle) can graze 12 months out of the year,” George said.

So, he started making calls to see if he could pick up the brewing byproduct from Summit County breweries. Many were already giving away the grain, he said, but then he stumbled across Cory Forster, who was then working at a small brewery in Keystone. Now, he’s brewmaster at the Dillon Dam Brewery.

George found the grain particularly useful for helping calves through the weaning process, which happens in November.

Sickness, stress and the changing seasons means some calves die in the process, but they seem to like the brewer’s grain and, because of that, they’re more nourished and can stay alive.

And it doesn’t stop there.

The cycle could come around to George providing beef back to his grain suppliers — he’s spoken to staff at both Pug Ryan’s and the Dillon Dam Brewery to see if they’re interested in buying his beef.

George called it upcycling.

The ranch owner aims to keep more calves year after year, finishing them and tapping into the local beef market. He has 30 steers to sell this year (about a half a

dozen have already been sold), and plans to double that each year. He’s also spoken to Peak Provisions about carrying his beef.

George said the decision largely depends on how well the beef is liked in tastings as well as how well he can keep up with demand. It’s likely his beef would appear on specials menus, he said.

Breckenridge Brewery is the other Summit County brewery that attended the Boulder event. Brewmaster Matt Darling said it’s a way for the brewery to show off its green efforts, which have been in place for longer than his five-year tenure.

“We’ve always been green,” he said. “It’s just never been a big deal until recently.”

From recycled toilet paper to sugar cane to-go containers that biodegrade to sharing spent grain with ranchers in Silverthorne and Fairplay, the small brewery seeks to make a difference.

At Dillon Dam Brewery, Forster uses a heat exchanger to save on the costs — to the environment and the wallet — of heating water. Two-hundred degree water is cooled to 55 or 65 degrees, and that heat is used to bring 40 degree tap water to 140 degrees.

“Water we use to cool today’s brew will be used to start the next batch of beer,” Forster said.

He added that the brewery is looking at moving to distributing its beer in cans, which is more efficient to recycle than glass and would save on shipping costs.

Proposal to incorporate sparks debate in Laughlin Roswell Daily Record

LAUGHLIN, Nev. (AP) — Don Laughlin stands on a high-rise balcony outside an opulent suite in his hotel-casino and glances down at the water front town that bears his name.

Below him, two whirring personal watercraft slice foamy swaths in the bluish-green water of the Colorado River, the dividing line between the Nevada tourist town of Laughlin and Bullhead City, Ariz.

Towering casinos line the shore on the Nevada side, a contrast to Bullhead City, where a patchwork of houses, stores, restaurants and offices show a more diverse growth.

In the past decade, Bullhead City’s population has grown by 28 percent, to more than 40,000. Laughlin’s population has hung between 7,000 and 8,000.

Some townspeople contend Clark County red tape has caused developers to choose Bullhead City over Laughlin. They say it’s vital for their community to be more business-friendly.

They also complain that the county alter nates between neglecting Laughlin and imposing its will on the town.

Disenchantment with county authority is again fueling a drive to turn the unincorporated town about 100 miles south of Las Vegas into a city of its own.

Proponents acknowledge that many details must be worked out, however, including how to provide all the necessary services to residents.

A bill making its way through the Legislature would grant residents a chance to vote on incorporating Laughlin.

Residents appear split on the idea. Among the opponents: the town’s founder, who argues that the population is too small to support a city.

“It doesn’t make any sense with 7,000 people,” Laughlin said. “I don’t know where they’re going to get the money.”

Gambling is Laughlin’s mainstay. The bulk of the town’s 2.5 million yearly visitors go to the casinos.

Most casino officials are either neutral or oppose incorporation. To lessen the legislative battle with this power ful lobby, the bill’s backers have excluded casinos from becoming part of the proposed city.

Laughlin wouldn’t get the casino property tax revenue, but it also wouldn’t have to provide services to them, said Jordan Ross, town constable and Republican activist.

“It’s a wash,” said Ross, who backs incorporation.

At least a couple of casi-

They also are concerned that they would lose a county code requiring new hotel-casinos to have a certain number of rooms, Ross said.

The code curtails competition by preventing small operators from opening in the area.

Two years ago, a similar Laughlin incorporation bill that included large casinos died in the Legislature when the casino companies fought it, Ross said.

Two of the larger operators oppose it this time, too, including Don Laughlin, so it was more expedient to leave out all the casinos from the effort, Ross said.

The plan is to talk with casino owners again after they have had a chance to see how well Laughlin works as a city, Ross said.

“In the meantime, there’s no need to press it.”

So how much would it cost to a run a city the size of Laughlin?

About $7 million to $8 million a year, said state Sen. Joe Hardy, R-Boulder City, who is sponsoring the right-to-vote bill.

Hardy was citing a preliminary study by a Laughlin economic development panel. The study used two other Clark County incor-

porated municipalities — Mesquite and Boulder City — as models.

Laughlin would contract some services with the county, including police and fire inspections, Ross said. And the county would continue handling regional services such as health inspections.

But county fire crews would be replaced, possibly by contracting with Bullhead City or Mohave Valley, another Arizona city about 20 miles away, Ross said.

Almost any alternative would be cheaper than the Clark County Fire Department, he argued.

Hardy agreed.

The county pays about $12 million a year for its Laughlin crews, mostly because Laughlin tends to draw older firefighters at the top of the pay scale, Hardy said.

Collaborating with other governments for services instead of handling them all yourself could be the best approach, Ross said.

The bill has passed the state Senate and went to the Assembly. Gov. Brian Sandoval has said he would sign the bill if it reaches him.

After that, a state committee would do a more extensive feasibility study to ensure the town doesn’t get in over its head financially.

“The state, county and

County commissioners and a legislative commission would review the results. If at least one of those bodies gives the goahead, the proposal would go to Laughlin residents for a vote, probably in the 2012 general election.

That would leave time to nominate candidates for mayor and city council, Ross said.

The purpose isn’t to create a big government entity, but to be autonomous, especially when it comes to issuing building permits, Ross said.

Bullhead City lures developers and businesses because projects get through the review process much quicker there than in Clark County, Ross said.

Laughlin has a tight-knit, small-town culture that’s much dif ferent from the cities, Ross said. It also is staunchly Republican, putting most residents at odds with the all-Democrat Clark County Commission.

Commissioner Steve Sisolak, who succeeded Republican Bruce Woodbury and represents the area, caused an uproar a couple of years ago when he appointed three Democrats to the town advisory

board, brushing aside Republicans who had won in a straw vote, Ross said.

It stoked a collective desire to incorporate because many folks suddenly felt at the mercy of county leaders’ whims, he said.

“It’s become a very personal issue,” Ross said.

Sisolak has defended his actions, saying the board needed a change at the time.

He said the real reasons that town officials want to incorporate is so they can take control of 9,000 acres and a $12 million trust for area infrastructure improvements.

Springtime bouquets captured in a perfume bottle

This product image courtesy of Giorgio Armani shows Acqua di Gioia Perfume, a fragrance built around floral notes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Flowers are lovely, especially in the springtime, but there are the obvious limitations of shelf life and mobility.

A floral perfume? Now that’s something with fragrance power to last an entire day on the go — and the next day, and the one after that.

“Flowers are really the basics for all women’s fragrances,” says Veronique Ferval, creative center manager for International Flavors & Fragrances in New York, one of the primary manufacturing

sources of the extracts or “juices” that perfumers use.

It’s typical to create a perfume with a bouquet that combines the notes of many flowers, even if it ends up being dominated by one.

“Historically in the fragrance industry, there are the classics — rose, gardenia, jasmine, muguet — really classic flowers that we’ve used for many years and continue reinventing,” Ferval explains.

Part of the allure in those scents is familiarity, but they also can be easier to bottle than, say, daisies and lilies of the valleys (as muguet is commonly known in the U.S.), she explains.

“A big factor is the olfactory delivery,” says Jennifer Mullarky, scent consultant for retailer Perfumania. “Some flowers don’t smell or you can’t extract them.

Having a well-known fragrance gives the emotional factor that many people relate to. There’s comfort in knowing what you are smelling, and that attracts people to a perfume.”

She adds, “When you are out and smelling a flower, you’re not smelling a straight oil, which is not always as nice as the mixed bouquet.”

Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, known to be an enthusiastic gardener, is relaunching his

Esprit d’Oscar perfume from the 1970s that is rooted in jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose.

In an interview in New York with The Associated Press, de la Renta said that as a young boy in the Dominican Republic, he imagined himself as a perfumer.

He’d wake up in the morning with the air of his open window carrying the smell of dewy flowers.

He first thought the dew was what captured the scent, he recalled with a laugh, but after a few failed attempts at bottling that, he realized it was the combination of flowers that was important. “I still remember it — it’s what I wanted in the perfume,” he said.

White flowers, including tuberose, gardenia and orange blossom, are popular in modern perfumes, although they’re not used nearly as much as jasmine, rose and violet, Mullarky says.

They are complex scents with many facets — fruit, freshness and creaminess, she describes.

You’ll find some men’s fragrances use lavender to infuse a light floral note without being too flowery.

Around Mother’s Day, there is a big spike in fragrance sales, says Kevin McCall, vice president of sales for Per fumania. Hus-

bands and sons are buying for their mothers, but there are also are many women shopping for themselves, inspired by their new season of gardening, he says.

“Spring really kicks florals into people’s minds.”

McCall says he can see the shift away from heavier perfumes that largely dominate winter sales as the weather warms. Florals are popular all year in California, Arizona and Nevada, for example, he says, but the Northeast comes to floral scents around Easter, followed by the Midwest.

Where flowers originate figures into the actual smell of a floral note, too.

Mullarky says there can be a big difference between a Bulgarian rose (considered the finest quality rose), an African rose or run-of-the-mill American garden rose. They’re all lovely, she says, but they give off different scents and blend differently with other notes.

Even the type of soil or the time of day the juice is extracted can affect the scent.

Sometimes it takes consumers time to warm up to a more exotic flower, says IFF’s Ferval, but even if the exposure only comes from a perfume bottle, people can develop a taste for it over time: That’s

what happened with the mimosa flower, which has more spicy than sweet accords.

Green notes naturally complement heady florals — like they would in a vase — and woodsy notes add a modern twist to very classic florals, Ferval explains.

For something cheer ful and bright, she recommends adding a fruit note, especially a citrus.

Elizabeth Arden has a new perfume, Pretty, that experiments with a new capturing technology that combines floral, fruit and woodsy scents into one, without separating individual ingredients.

Some other options with strong floral hearts: —Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs. Daisy with wild rose, raspberry, apple blossom and violet.

—Calvin Klein Beauty. Lily with ambrette seeds from hibiscus, jasmine and cedarwood.

—Flora by Gucci. Rose petals and osmanthus with bergamot, water notes, sandalwood and patchouli.

—High Line by Bond No. 9.

Grape hyacinth, Lady Jane tulips and red-leaf rose with grass and sea moss.

—Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One. Bulgarian rose with peony, geranium, peach, muguet and musk.

Libyan village clinics become trauma centers

ZAWIYAT AL-MAHJOUB, Libya (AP) — The wail of an ambulance signaled the start of what one doctor at the small village clinic called the “gush.”

The first of a flood of wounded were two Libyan rebel fighters whose legs had been mangled in a blast and one of the clinic’s own medics, who staggered in with a gunshot wound in the back that streaked red across his white coat.

As rebels push Moammar Gadhafi’s forces back to the edges of the frontline city of Misrata, the fighting is turning rural medical centers in villages like this one into battlefield clinics.

Their staff, more accus-

tomed to distributing medicine and handling minor outpatient cases, are now performing trauma surgery.

“I’m a der matologist,” said Dr. Mohammed alTawil, who dashed about the clinic’s hall trying to register Friday’s incoming patients on his clipboard.

“But now we’ve all become emergency medics.”

The clinic sits in Zawiyat al-Mahjoub, a sandy village of wheat fields and date palms to the east of Misrata, the only major rebel foothold in western Libya.

The fighting has transfor med the clinic. Huge concrete pipes have been stacked outside its front windows to protect from

blasts. Its staf f now includes three surgeons, five doctors, two intensive care specialists and about 20 nurses. All are volunteers, al-Tawil said. They consider running the clinic a national duty.

Friday’s rush began around noon, after government tanks fired on about 50 rebel fighters south of the village, said 31-year-old Abdullah Shiguman, who helped bring in the injured.

Gover nment forces then approached in pickup trucks and opened fire with large caliber anti-aircraft guns.

Clinic staff had barely clipped the clothes from the first three patients and

begun disinfecting their wounds when more sirens and screaming were heard outside.

A pair of rebel fighters rushed in the door, carrying an injured colleague in a blood-soaked shirt. Others followed, including one dripping blood from his head and leaving a red trail down the hall. Nurses rushed over with mops.

“Where is everyone? We need to get him in here!” a bearded rebel yelled at the door. Medics raced out to bring in more patients, putting as many as three in each room.

Most of the fighters live nearby and some know the staff.

Poles travel to Rome for John Paul beatification

A Polish woman passes by a giant poster of the late Pope John Paul II in downtown Krakow, Poland, Thursday.

Roswell Daily Record

ABOARD THE POPIELUSZKO TRAIN (AP) — They slept in the aisles and celebrated Mass in the restaurant car.

Eight hundred Poles boarded a special train Friday night for a 26hour trip across Europe, bound for Rome and the beatification of the late Pope John Paul II. They were joining tens of thousands of Poles who are massing in Rome for Sunday’s beatification, a major celebration for a nation overjoyed at seeing the Polish-born pontiff moved closer to sainthood.

By Saturday morning, the pilgrim train was cruising through the Austrian countryside. And as picturesque far mhouses, creeks and mountains sped past, priests celebrated Mass in the restaurant car, setting up a makeshift altar on a dining table bedecked with a white cloth and a four-inch crucifix. The faithful followed along in the aisles, some kneeling, hands clasped in prayer, and priests pushed their way down packed, narrow aisles to give them Communion.

Mieczyslawa Rzepecka, 55, who was making the pilgrimage with her

husband and son, said she planned to consume only dry crackers and water during the journey, a partial fast meant as a gesture of piety. The long train ride doesn’t bother her — she said she knows that most Poles are making the trip by bus, which is longer and much more cramped.

“If you love John Paul, this is not hard,” she said.

The “Popieluszko” train the pilgrims were riding on is named for Jerzy Popieluszko, a Polish priest recently beatified for having been murdered by the communist regime in 1984 — the system that John Paul is credited with helping to topple.

The train is due to pull into Rome a few hours before Sunday’s beatification.

For those who arrived earlier, an all-night prayer vigil begins Saturday night in Rome’s Circus Maximus, featuring testimony from the French nun whose inexplicable cure from Parkinson’s disease was the miracle needed to beatify John Paul.

The journey for the Poles aboard the Popieluszko began with a Mass at Popieluszko’s former church in

Warsaw on Friday evening. The pilgrims then made their way together to a nearby train station, pulling suitcases or carrying backpacks and bottles of water.

Some on board said they were going to Rome to give thanks to John Paul for prayers he had answered already, or to Pope Benedict XVI for the speedy beatification of their beloved countryman. Others said they were seeking cures for health problems, while some said they wanted to recapture the powerful sense of community they experienced during John Paul’s lifetime at youth gatherings he led.

Sylwia Kurowska, 31, said she is expecting a spiritual experience similar to John Paul’s funeral at a packed St. Peter’s Square in 2005, when the wind turned the pages of a book of Gospels on his coffin.

“That felt like a scene from the Bible, with God giving a sign that is there,” Kurowska said. “I think something will happen during the beatification that will create that same kind of atmosphere.”

In one room, a nurse in a white coat and pink headscarf sat weeping near the body of a dead fighter.

In the next room, a fighter lay unconscious on a bed, the twisted remains of his legs wrapped in a blanket. Six medics gathered to do CPR, one in a bloodstained smock standing on a short stool to pump his chest.

Back in the hallway, a rebel entered carrying a large bundle of remains wrapped in a green blanket.

“That’s just parts,” alTawil said, shaking his head.

Another bundle followed.

“No, no, no, no!” the

men’s friends wailed, waving their ar ms, hugging each other and jumping up and down in shock as the medics quickly opened and closed the bundles.

Four of the day’s 10 injured were loaded into ambulances for transfer to Misrata’s central hospital.

The six dead were laid out on the tile floor in the morgue.

Nurses rinsed the blood from the stretchers and floors, and less than 90 minutes after the rush began, the clinic was quiet enough for all to hear the blunt booms of explosions not far in the distance.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin has had a sliding spring.

Her support among Republicans has shrunk.

She’s kept an uncharacteristically low profile. And there’s no evidence that she’s anywhere close to announcing whether she will run for president.

But it’s clear she still wants to be part of the conversation.

After weeks of seemingly staying on the sidelines, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential nominee is back with public appearances, fiery criticism of President Barack Obama and a strong defense of Donald Trump, the reality TV show host who has raised questions about the president’s background without offering any proof of his assertions.

“What the heck is wrong with asking the president of the United States to disclose what his college thesis was, what some of the Harvard Law Review papers were that he wrote?” Palin said last week, adding her voice to a Trump-led chorus of critics questioning just how much the country knows about its president.

She added: “Here’s a point with Donald Trump, though, which I hope that he will seize this opportunity: Right now, he’s got the spotlight, he’s got the megaphone. Now is his opportunity to really force a shift in debate and discussion in this country.”

Palin used to be able to say that about herself. But she’s recently been overshadowed by other Republicans who have taken steps toward the White House or are weighing bids, Trump included.

Privately, people in her informal and fluid circle of advisers say that they have no sense whether Palin will run for the GOP nomination or if she does, when she would begin a campaign. They say she’s asking questions about a potential White House run and will decide in her own time. The door to a candidacy, they say, is still open.

Yet, Palin, who abruptly resigned the Alaska gover-

nor’s office before finishing her first term, doesn’t seem to be doing the spadework others are as they consider running.

She hasn’t set up campaign organizations in Iowa, New Hampshire or other early nominating states. Her political travel seems haphazard and lacking the patter n of most contenders. For example, she hasn’t been to New Hampshire since 2008, but she rallied tea party activists in Wisconsin as Gov. Scott Walker pushed a bill that weakened public unions’ bargaining rights.

And recently her standing has dropped in polls.

An Associated Press-GfK survey from late-March found 57 percent of adults holding an unfavorable view of her. And the survey marked her worst rating yet among Republicans. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans view her favorably but that number is down from 79 percent in November 2010.

Her favorability dips to just 38 percent among the four in 10 Republicans who don’t support the tea party.

Among those Republicans who do support it, 79 percent say they hold a positive view of Palin.

Even so, she’s making sure her voice is heard, including in high-profile public appearances.

She was to give a speech Saturday in a Washington suburb at a closed-door, $250-a-plate fundraiser for an anti-abortion organization. And on Monday, she is to appear at a $15-a-person fundraiser for military families at Colorado Christian University.

She’s speaking at the same event as retired Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, who has made controversial statements painting the war on terror as a Christian fight against Satan and suggesting that Muslims worship idols.

Palin’s also been firing up her conservative base on Fox News Channel, where she is a paid contributor, and in other interviews by scorning Obama.

Quiet for a while, Palin’s voice is back

Orphaned polar bear cub rescued at Anchorage oil field

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Wanted: A zoo for an orphaned polar bear cub that was rescued at an Alaska oil field.

Officials from the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage were helping to escort the 17-pound cub from the North Slope, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Friday. The female cub, estimated to be at least 4 months old, was herded into a net and kept in a large dog kennel, said Rosa Meehan, the Fish and Wildlife Service marine mammals manager in Alaska.

“It was initially shaking from the stress, but it settled down and has been resting quietly,” she said.

The cub will stay at the zoo until a home is found, said zoo office manager Heather Schaad. The zoo already has two polar bears and four other bears and doesn’t have the facilities to keep the cub permanently, Schaad said.

The cub was captured at the Alpine oil field and fed a commercial puppy milk replacement fortified with whipping cream to meet her nutritional needs, Fish and Wildlife officials said.

She was first spotted after emerging from a den with her mother and a sibling seven weeks ago, Meehan said.

Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey had captured the sow and her cubs and put a radio collar on the moth-

er. “Unfortunately, the collar slipped off a few days later,” Meehan said.

The cub was spotted again Tuesday, but she was alone, orphaned or separated from her mother. Alpine operators contacted the Fish and Wildlife Service, which asked them to conduct an aerial search for the mother, Meehan said.

Operators are required to notify the agency whenever they see the far-north animal.

After the search wrapped up, the cub was gone. Then she showed up again Thursday, and Fish and Wildlife coordinated plans with the zoo to collect the bear.

Agency officials said the zoo already has an arrangement in place with North Slope operators to respond to any oil spills affecting polar bears. So rescue plans came together very quickly, Meehan said.

It’s unknown how long the underweight cub was by herself without food, or what actually happened to her mother and sibling. One thing that’s unlikely is that a subsistence hunter from the nearest community — the Inupiat Eskimo village of Nuiqsut — shot the mother. Only Alaska Natives are allowed to hunt polar bears, and they are required to report their subsistence harvest to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Agency biologists contacted the village and learned that no locals have taken a polar bear recently.

ENTERTAINMENT

Jazz and Heritage Festival kicks off NEW ORLEANS (AP) — He danced, drink in hand, to the music of British rhythm and blues artist Jon Cleary, but there was no one act that drew Ray Ladonceur to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on Friday’s opening day.

“It really doesn’t matter who is on stage,” said Ladonceur, a New Orleans attorney and accountant.

“If you can’t find a genre of music you’re interested in at this festival then you don’t like music. It’s a beautiful, gorgeous day.

There’s great food, great people and great music.

What more can you ask for?”

Festival producer Quint Davis stressed variety going into the 2011 festival, calling the lineup one of the broadest in the event’s history.

It was evident from the sounds wafting through the air as lines for med early at booths offering everything from cold beer and crawfish to ice cream and jambalaya.

There were some of the state’s greats: George Porter Jr., John Mooney and Bluesiana, Lil Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk.

And there were the visitors.

and Sons drew thousands.

The group, fronted by Marcus Mumford on guitar, got rousing applause, pumping the crowd with such hits as “Little Lion Man” and “The Cave,” from their debut album “Sigh No More.”

“I actually love them,” said Lisa Podzinger, of Savannah, Ga. “I love their whole melody thing they’ve got going on.”

On another stage, Jeff Beck entertained thousands more while, in the Blues Tent, Keb’ Mo’ belted out down home blues.

Janneka Scherrenberg

of Holland said this was her first time at the festival and she plans to return.

“Our friends live here and they kept telling us, ‘You have to go to the jazz fest.’ We finally got here,” she said, swaying to Cleary. “Everything is just great. New Orleans, the people, the food. We’ll be back.”

Robert Plant, Wyclef Jean and The Avett Brothers were among nationally known acts closing the first day of the festival, which runs for seven days over two weekends at the

Fair Grounds Race Course.

Gabi Baigel, a South African native now living in New York, danced along with the crowd packed in front of the stage to hear Jean. “I love the rhythm of him,” she said, “and his third world sentiment.”

Baigel said this was her first visit to the festival and was surprised at how organized everything was.

“It’s a really great atmosphere. The people here and the city have a really great personality.”

Jean entertained the crowd with Shakira’s “Hips

Don’t Lie,” his own take on Bob Dylan’s “Knocking’ on Heaven’s Door,” as well as a bit of freestyle. He also revved up the fans when he spontaneously jumped into the midst of them. As they bounced to his beats and screamed his name, he shook hands while cameras clicked and roars of approval hummed in the air.

“I’ve never seen him live before, but he’s so con-

nected to his audience.

He’s so full of positive energy,” said Kelly Ketner, who was at the festival with her boyfriend, Alex Perk, on a visit to New Orleans from Ottawa, Canada.

Perk said Jean “puts on a great show,” but his draw was Mumford and Sons. “It’s all about the music, the instrumental interludes for them. They were amazing.”

AP Source: Lohan wants to end necklace theft case

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan wants to enter a no contest plea to end a criminal case filed over a $2,500 necklace reported stolen, a source close to the actress said Saturday.

The source, who is familiar with Lohan’s criminal case but was not authorized to comment publicly, said the actress wants to put the case behind her so she can focus on her career.

No court date has been set for Lohan to enter the plea. She is scheduled to retur n to a Los Angeles court for a pretrial hearing May 11, but the actress is hoping to resolve the case before then, the source said.

By pleading no contest, Lohan would not be admitting guilt, and it was not immediately clear if she would face any additional penalties. The actress already has been sentenced to four months in jail for a probation violation related to the theft case. She is free on bail.

Prosecutors in February charged Lohan with felony grand theft on allegations that she took the necklace from Kamofie & Co., a jewelry store near the actress’s home in Los Angeles’ Venice neighborhood. The charge was reduced last week by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner.

Authorities allege the theft occurred roughly three weeks after Lohan, 24, was released from court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center.

Lohan’s assistant turned the necklace in to authorities after police obtained a search warrant to retrieve it from Lohan’s house, but before detectives were able to conduct the search.

Sautner said during an April 22 hearing that she thought Lohan’s actions were brazen, but that she did not think the case warranted a felony prosecution because many other cases involving more serious allegations are reduced to misdemeanors.

Deputy District Attor ney Danette Meyers said she thought the ruling was an “abuse of discretion” and her of fice may appeal it, but no challenge has yet been filed.

A little over a week ago, Sautner sentenced Lohan to 120 days in jail and nearly 500 hours of community service for violating the terms of her probation by taking the necklace. Lohan was on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case.

She was released to pursue an appeal but has not yet filed a formal motion to try to get the sentence reduced.

In all likelihood, Lohan would serve a small fraction of her four-month sentence — possibly as little as three weeks — due to jail overcrowding.

The source said Lohan’s intention to plead no contest was aimed at making good on her statement to Jay Leno earlier this week that she wanted to take responsibility for her actions.

The plea was first reported Saturday by celebrity website TMZ. The actress’s career has been mostly stalled for the past year as she struggled to deal with the terms of her sentence in the drunken driving case. She recently accepted a two-picture deal to appear in a pair of mob films, including a biopic of the infamous Gotti family. She will portray the wife of John Gotti Jr. in the film “Gotti: Three Generations” that also stars John Travolta and Joe Pesci.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Lohan said she hopes the role will help her return to being known more as an actress than a tabloid mainstay.

“I’m really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do,” Lohan said about her new roles.

Donna Murphy tries to balance stage and motherhood NEW YORK (AP) — Donna Murphy remembers coming across a blog post this winter reporting that she was returning to Broadway in a Holocaust musical.

That prompted a moment of panic. The show’s description didn’t exactly sound like something that would cause a rush on the box office. Who was going to fly in to see genocide? “Not that there haven’t been beautiful pieces about the Holocaust and I don’t mean to be disrespectful at all, but ‘a Holocaust musical’? It just sounds like ‘Springtime for Hitler,’” she said, referring to the satiric song from Mel Brooks’ “The Producers.”

Fans of Murphy needn’t worry. While her new show, “The People in the Picture,” portrays Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II, it isn’t exactly a Holocaust musical. It features Murphy as an actress in a spunky Yiddish theater troupe and her character decades later as an ailing 79-year-old grandmother

in 1970s New York.

“It’s got me completely by my heart and my soul,” she says in her dressing room at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Studio 54 theater. The new show has a book and lyrics by “Beaches” novelist Iris Rainer Dart and “operates on a number of levels.” The musical opened Thursday to mixed reviews, but most critics were again smitten by Murphy, hailed as a chameleon.

Dart, 67, has been a fan of Murphy since 2000 when she caught the actress in a performance of “Wonderful Town” and says she is delighted when she joined her musical. “I have been hoping for Donna Murphy to play this part since I conceived the idea,” Dart says. “This woman can do everything. She has such a range.”

It’s been four years since Murphy was last on Broadway and each time gets more difficult as she balances work and family. Her daughter, Darmia, is now 6 and the musical’s first pre-

view performance happened to fall on her birthday.

“It’s very different doing a Broadway show when you have a little one at home who says, ‘Mommy, don’t go tonight,’ or ‘Why don’t you do the first part and come home?’ or ‘Just do one today,’” she says.

“There’s a big trade-off, but this is what I do.”

Murphy, a lithe beauty who is 52 but who could easily pass for 32, has been branching out lately into other mediums. She has finished two films — “Dark Horse” by Todd Solondz with Christopher Walken and Selma Blair, and “Higher Ground” with Vera Farmiga and Norbert Leo Butz, which made its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival.

She has also recently dipped in and out of TV (“Ugly Betty,” ‘’Law & Order” and “T rust Me”) done voice-over work (the animated film “Tangled”) and live-action films such as “The Nanny Diaries.”

“For me, my heart and

Lindsay Lohan

my dream from childhood, has always been to do theater. And the most meaningful experiences that I’ve had creatively have been in the theater — the ones that have taught me the most, that have given me the opportunity to challenge myself the most,” she says.

“But, having said that, I can’t afford to just work in the theater. Often the things that I’m most attracted to doing are not necessarily the big, commercial Broadway shows.

I’ve had a lot of heartbreaking conversations where I’m saying no to a beautiful play.”

Murphy received the first of her two Tonys in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s “Passion” and got her second as Anna in the 1996 revival of “The King and I.” She also won Tony nominations for “Wonderful Town” and 2007’s “LoveMusik.”

She has been married to actor and singer Shawn Elliott since 1990 and is the stepmother of Elliott’s two daughters, so playing a

grandmother in “The People in the Picture” has been easy. In 2005, the couple added to their family by adopting a daughter from Guatemala, Darmia Hope.

(There is also a pet fish, named Bubbles Julio Murphy Elliot.)

“The little one needs me and I need her, too,” Murphy says. “I came to being a mother to an infant relatively late in my life and a lot of that was about seeing how much my work asked of me and what I wanted to give to it.”

She recalls having to report to shoot the film “World Trade Center” only two days after Darmia was brought home. “All I can say is I’m glad I played a character that had to weep a lot,” she says.

Having a young child means Murphy, known for her ferocious researching skills, can’t always do as much homework as she used to. “You have to edit your approach. I’m always cramming,” she says.

To prepare for the new role, Murphy read about

the Holocaust, met with survivors, looked at footage of performers from that time, studied Yiddish theater and how voices change over time, and even looked into how having a heart condition might affect her character.

“It’s not like I do it because I feel I must. I love it. I’m a student constantly,” she says. “On this show, my God, I could spend the rest of my life researching so many elements of it.”

Dart, the playwright, calls Murphy “the hardest working actress I’ve ever encountered” and says she “doesn’t have a lazy bone in her body.” She joked that when the director, Leonard Foglia, first met Murphy, the actress already knew more about Yiddish theater than he did.

“This is someone who does her homework and wouldn’t set foot on that stage without having done the kind of work that she does for everything.”

Amazon launches 69-cent song store Roswell Daily Record

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Amazon.com Inc. this week launched a store that sells digital songs for 69 cents, an attempt to bring more people to its e-commerce website and bolster its plan to eventually charge people to store tunes on distant servers known as the cloud.

It has cut the price on singles to 69 cents in the past, but this is the first time it has dedicated a page to the offering.

About 200 songs out of the 15 million available have had prices cut to 69 cents.

On Friday, that included 26 of the top 40 songs, from artists such as Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and Black Eyed Peas. Other songs are priced as high as $1.29 apiece.

Craig Pape, the director of Amazon Music, said cutting prices creates a “halo effect” that helps music sales and improves
