Lake Arthur police chief resigns after Bloomberg report o City dissolves officer reserve program after connection to presidential donor suggested

By Trevier Gonzalez Roswell Daily Record

About a week after being placed on administrative leave, the Lake Arthur Police Department’s chief of police resigned Thursday morning, leaving the small Chaves County town without any local law enforcement aside from sheriff’s deputies and officers from neighboring towns. The sudden resignation of William Norwood comes after Lake Arthur Mayor Ysidro M. Salazar terminated the Lake Arthur Police Reserve Officers Association (LAPROA), a program implemented by

Norwood in 2010, as well an article by Bloomberg Businessweek which suggests a link between the reserve unit and Robert Mercer, a New York billionaire, businessman and large contributor to the 2016 Trump campaign. Bloomberg’s article titled “Robert Mercer’s Secret Adventure as a New Mexico Cop” from March 28 claimed Mercer was a member of LAPROA, though with sources that remain unclear. Members of the reserve unit had been able to bypass concealed carry laws in all 50 states due

to H.R. 218, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004.

Salazar as he reads out a media release noting their satisfaction with the Lake Arthur Police Reserve Officers Association, a program recently dissolved. The statement came during a regular monthly meeting Thursday evening at Lake Arthur Town Hall.

On Thursday evening, Salazar began a regular town meeting by reading a media release, noting Ordinance 199, which gave Norwood the ability to operate the 150-member reserve unit. “The town has been very satisfied with the program and proud of Chief Norwood’s efforts and hard work to accomplish just that,” Salazar stated. “We are grateful to those who have volunteered their time

as well as numerous wonderful things that they have contributed for our community to include overall safety for our community.” After conducting other town-related matters, Salazar addressed the situation. Nine community members were in attendance. “Our chief of police started a reserve unit and the amount of reserves that he wanted got too big for him, I think,” Salazar said. “Because he was the only one administering the reserve unit and it got too See CHIEF, Page A2

Willard emphasizes experience, education in re-election bid

Good weather for painting

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record Chaves County Assessor Mark Willard is seeking another four years in office, what he anticipates will be his last run for the office after having served almost three full terms. Willard, 58, faces Chaves County appraiser Daniel Pruitt in the Republican primary election in June. No candidates from other parties are running for the post, which pays $65,855 a year. “I’ve been blessed to have this job, and I’ve been fortunate to enjoy both the support and votes of the Chaves County citizens when I needed it,” Willard said. “I enjoy what I am doing, and, as the incumbent, I have one more term available to me before I am required

John Dilmore has been named editor of the Roswell Daily Record, publisher Barbara Beck announced last week. As editor, Dilmore will manage the 127-year-old publication’s news operations, steering the direction of content in print and online. “There are many stories to be told in Roswell, and I look forward to getting to know the area and its people by being part of telling those stories,” Dilmore said. “Leading the newsroom of a publication as established and respected as the Ros-

well Daily Record is a unique opportunity.” The Daily Record’s position as a family-owned business with strong ties to the community is an advantage for its staff of reporters and editors when it comes to gathering news, Dilmore added. “John Dilmore’s experience and energy will help us build and expand upon our newspaper,” Beck said. “He will greatly add to our goal of continuing to improve our publication.” Dilmore, who has 23 years experience in the newspaper industry, is past editor Dilmore Today’s Forecast

By Timothy P. Howsare Roswell Daily Record Sometimes it’s not a bad idea to take advice from your little sister. Roswell resident Margaret Kennard decided to sign up for Leadership Roswell — a program that develops leadership skills and expands networking opportunities — after her sister Nicole Rogers, a lieutenant at the Chaves County Detention Center, graduated from the 2014 class. Kennard signed up for the next class, which graduated in 2015. “She had so many good things to say about it,” Kennard said. Kennard was elected president of the class of 2015 and decided to stay

involved with the group after graduating. Local attorney and newspaper columnist Rick Kraft has been executive director of the organization since 1992. Kennard is the program director. One of her responsibilities is to help Kraft prepare the classes for the upcoming year, which are held one Friday a month from September through May. She attends every class and said that Kraft has been a good model. “I think that for me it was a launch pad to hone my own leadership skills and use them in other aspects of my

Salazar further explained, after an Inspection of Public Records Act request, he was required to release names of the members of LAPROA. “When I informed the reserve association that I was going to release their names and the years that they were here with us with the Lake Arthur Police Department, a lot of them got upset and resigned from the reserve unit,” he said. “When that happened, I chose to go ahead and dissolve the reserve association.” A meeting attendee spoke out, asking Salazar if he had ever officially sworn in any members of the reserve unit. Salazar stated he had not. “That was left to the chief,” he said. Norwood was not present at the meeting.

Salazar then explained that each member of LAPROA had to volunteer a total of 96 hours a month in order to keep their position. “They were only authorized to patrol with a certified police officer,” Salazar clarified with the public. “So they could only patrol when Will had the time or our other two part-time police officers that we had — that were certified ... “That’s what this press has done to us. It’s basically taking away our law enforcement. That’s where we’re at. So, like I say, have patience, we’re gonna work on it, and we’re gonna try to develop something that we can provide for you all.” The council made a motion and accepted Norwood’s resignation.

After the meeting came to an end, the Daily Record had several questions for Salazar, including whether LAPROA offered any clear advantages to the town. Salazar explained years ago, the town had a drug problem. “We even had a meth lab

Salazar said he was told by the chief many members of the unit already had a license for concealed carry. “The only advantage to that was that they were allowed to follow H.R. 218. Which allowed them to carry firearms anywhere in the United States,” Salazar said. “That’s the only advantage to this.” While Lake Arthur treasurer and town clerk Debra Sallee said Norwood told

her Robert Mercer was an “honorary” member of LAPROA, there are currently no records to indicate such. “It’s not on there — I can tell you it’s not,” Sallee said. “I have no paperwork on Mercer whatsoever, and that’s the truth. “The records that I have, that have them redacted, that I will allow you to look at does not — Mercer’s not anywhere in them.” The mayor said he simply doesn’t know. “Mercer was never here in our community — I don’t know where he met Will to be involved with the reserve unit,” Salazar said. “I don’t even know if he was in our reserve unit, to be honest with you.” Salazar said, in hindsight, he should have involved himself more in the police department. “That’s my fault,” Salazar said. “I think he ran it well, it’s just that this — again, it got too big for him.

cles,” Salazar said. “As long as they were with Will or following behind Will, they were within the rule that they could.” The Daily Record then asked the mayor if he saw the potential for issues with reserve officers driving unmarked, civilian vehicles. “Not really,” Salazar replied. “Not if Will was managing them. If they came with Will and left with Will, I don’t see where there’d be any miscommunication, because they had radios. I mean, they could talk to each other.” The mayor said Norwood had held members of the reserve unit to academy standards, and that many were former members of the military. “The way chief Norwood set up his reserve unit, and the way he handled it, I thought was sufficient for this community,” Salazar said.

you know, that’s a bit too many, but his explanation sounded reasonable to us. He said, ‘If I can get these guys in, then I can have a rolling law enforcement coming in — two or three guys, four guys, every week come in.’” Salazar said Norwood was in the process of bringing in members of LAPROA to assist him with the paperwork aspect for the unit. Salazar said Norwood h a d b e e n v o l u n t e e r in g because he knew the town was unable to hire a certified officer. The last time Lake Arthur had a full police staff was in 1999 or 2000, Salazar said.

get busted just outside city limits,” Salazar explained. “It was in a trailer house, and the Chaves County Sheriffs busted it with the (Pecos Valley Drug) Task Force. They busted it and since that reserve unit was started, the problem went away — we didn’t have it anymore.” Salazar said the town had hired Norwood in 2005, though he was only paid a dollar a year as chief. “Really and honestly, ‘hiring’ is the wrong word, because we didn’t pay him,” Salazar said. “He was basically doing this (as a) volunteer. He was working for Hagerman, but he would come down here on his days off when he could, you know, when he didn’t have any personal things going on with family and stuff, he would come down here and patrol. “Then he thought, ‘Well you know what, I can do a better job if I can start a reserve unit to help me out,” because he was out here virtually by himself, so he did, and we allowed him to.” Salazar said Ordinance 199 allowed Norwood to start the unit, which began with 84 members. “Then he came back to us several years later and asked us if he could increase his reserve unit to 150 guys,” Salazar said. “At first, we thought, well,

County Assessor for two terms. Willard was re-elected again in 2014. Willard said that, should he be elected, he does not foresee running for a fifth term. He said that he has run for office before against an Assessor’s Office colleague and considers the current situation “business as usual.” He summed up the main difference between him and Pruitt as “experience, also education.” A Roswell native, Willard has 25 years of experience working in the county assessor’s office and has numerous certifications and licenses related to his field. These include being a certified public official, a certified public assessment officer, a certified appraiser and holding a license for 22 years as a certified residential appraiser, which requires ongoing education courses. He is a high school and junior college graduate of New Mexico Military Institute, earning an associate’s degree from the school. He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration, with an emphasis in finance, from Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. His community involvement includes serving as an officer with the Roswell Kiwanis Club and the Roswell Jaycees, participating in the Leadership Roswell program, and belonging to Christ’s Church. He also has served as an officer with the New Mexico Association of Counties and the New Mexico Association of Assessing Officers. He is the father of two grown daughters, Katy and Haley, who live in Albuquerque. Willard talks with pride about an Assessor’s Office with more than 11 employees that has earned respect from the New Mexico Property Tax Division and other assessor’s offices in the state. “We have a lot of counties calling Ron (Lethgo, now chief deputy assessor) and I asking how to do things,” he said. He also points to the hiring of Randy Kincaid as chief appraiser four years ago as an indication of the office’s strength. Kincaid joined after serving in an

assessor’s office in a large city in Massachusetts and with the state Property Tax Division 10 years. “He said there were only two counties in the state that he would consider working for and we were one of them,” said Willard, “so to me, he worked for Property Tax, so that was just showing how well received we are.” Willard said his accomplishments in the Assessor’s office over the past decades include not only striving to provide “efficient, courteous and knowledgeable” service but also being part of the effort to update processes from hand-drawn and pen and paper methods to computer-based systems with a shared software system. Information that used to be available to property owners only by calling in or stopping by the office is now available on the web. “Everything in our office is on computers and on the same platform,” he said. “Much of our data, including the maps with aerial photography, are available online to the public.” He also said that the office now will email the Notice of Value statements upon request. If re-elected, he said he would aim to keep up with technological advancements, invest in staff training and continue what he characterized as the never-ending effort to improve assessment procedures and processes. The Assessor’s Office under Willard’s leadership has come in for criticism at times. In a recent situation, a county resident launched an appeal process that resulted in a finding that valuations had been calculated incorrectly and a refund was owed. The property owner forwarded complaints to state officials, claiming, among other things, that the Chaves County office was charging two property owners taxes on the same piece of land and that the assessor’s staff had been lackadaisical at best in their data gathering and analysis. Willard and County Manager Stanton Riggs have denied the claims made by the property owner, and no official actions have resulted at this time from the individual’s complaints. “Property Tax, when asked by the (New Mexico

Department of) Taxation and Revenue, said we were an exemplary county,” Willard said, adding that he has never encountered a similar situation in 25 years. According to a campaign finance report, Willard has raised $4,200 in donations from friends and colleagues, including Lethgo, his campaign treasurer. The report indicated he had spent only $26.25 by April 8, but he said he also has purchased about $2,700 worth of campaign signs. He said he can’t say at this point how much he will be spending in the campaign. Willard’s challenger, Republican Daniel Pruitt, did not respond for comment by press time. Pruitt joined the Chaves County Assessor’s Office in 2014 after serving with the U.S. Army from 2011 to 2013. He also runs an RV storage site business. A Roswell native, Pruitt is making his first run for public office. He holds an associate’s degree in business administration from Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell and is working on a bachelor’s degree from ENMU in Portales. In an earlier interview, Pruitt said that he has nothing against Willard’s tenure but thinks taxpayers might want a new person in office, noting that Lethgo and Willard have been exchanging the seat between themselves for many years. Lethgo was first elected to the office in 1988. “I think I could bring a new set of eyes,” Pruitt said, adding that his goals would include improved staff training and increased use of social media and technology to better inform property owners. Pruitt’s finance disclosure form indicated he had raised $1,135, mostly from anonymous donors, and had spent about $1,029 on campaign signs and promotional items by April 8. The primary election is June 5. General elections occur Nov. 6. Senior Writer Lisa Dunlap can be reached at 575622-7710, ext. 310, or at reporter02@rdrnews.com.

Free health-care clinic

Marcia Martin, left, and Amanda Villareal of Los Alamos clean a local resident’s teeth Saturday morning during the free health clinic at Roswell High School sponsored by the New Mexico Mission of Mercy and the Remote Area Medical program. The clinic continues today.

Professionals offer vision and medical services Roswell Daily Record General practitioners, dentists, optometrists, ophthalmologists and a slew of other health professionals from across New Mexico and the country hope to provide free dental, vision and medical services to at least 400 area residents this weekend. The New Mexico Mission of Mercy, a nonprofit that provides free dental work in the state, has partnered with the Remote Area Medical program to offer the free clinic Saturday and Sunday at Roswell High School on West Hobbs Street. About 200 people had been signed up for one or more health services or free eyeglasses by early Saturday, said RAM’s marketing coordinator Emily McGee. The organization will begin handing out tickets at 3 a.m. today. Care is

expected to begin by 6 a.m. and to continue until everyone is seen by a health care worker. The clinic will attempt to refer people to other heath care services if needs cannot be met during the clinic hours or at one visit, McGee said. No identification is required and only basic health information needed to provide services will be collected. The Remote Area Medical program, funded entirely by donations and grants and working nationwide as well as overseas, has come to Roswell and New Mexico for the first time in its 32-year-history at the request of the Mission of Mercy group, McGee said. RAM provided an estimated $133,459 in services for 266 people in Clovis last weekend. The New Mexico Mission of Mercy group has provided more than $11 million in free dental work in its 10 years of operation.

Why newspapers still connect with readers

Guest Editorial

Facebook should face competition, not regulation The Colorado Springs Gazette Facebook censors inadvertently made Diamond and Silk a household name this week. Censorship typically defeats the censors. As frequent guests on Fox News, the sisters took their case directly to the people. They told how Facebook silenced their conservative voices by declining to distribute their videos. That’s why Congress grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the women during congressional hearings called to investigate for-profit data mining. In an explanation to Diamond and Silk last week, Facebook claimed the duo’s pro-Trump videos are dangerous. “The Policy team has come to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community. This decision is final and it is not appeal-able in any way.” Got that? Videos that champion a border wall, tax cuts, less regulation, and other presidential policies are “unsafe” and cannot be shared on a social media platform increasingly suspected of monopolistic practices. Of course, nothing the two former liberal Democrats say in their theatrical diatribes poses danger to the community. Rather, their videos challenge the liberal views of Facebook employees, who use their positions to promote policies and politicians they like, and to silence those they oppose. Conservative Facebook users have long complained about the company deleting posts. Some remain on Facebook feeds without the traditional “share” button that allows users to boost distribution. Two months before Diamond and Silk exposed Facebook, Colorado Politics told of Colorado’s “Conservative Momma” — an actor who makes comedic conservative videos for social media. She produced a video last fall about standing for the national anthem. After it went viral, generating millions of views, she says Facebook and Google subsidiary YouTube took action. Facebook throttled back distribution of subsequent videos, and YouTube said she could no longer monetize videos with ads. “My videos that once had Millions and Hundreds of Thousands of views, now seeing only a couple thousand,” Conservative Momma told Colorado Politics in an email. “My voice and the voice of many others silenced... A little over a month ago, I started a Live show, hoping that perhaps Live video could not be suppressed, it has been. Now only about 4% of my page sees my videos.” The First Amendment forbids government from censoring speech, no matter how out of fashion it may be. That law has no effect on Facebook, YouTube and other Internet giants. They are private companies. Members of Congress can berate Zuckerberg on camera, but can do little about Facebook’s censorship habits. Conservatives are the last people who should ask government to intervene in big social media’s muzzling of their voices. They oppose government interference in free market affairs. Instead, they should count on competition, digital entrepreneurs, a minimally regulated Internet, and a variety of market forces to serve justice to censors. As computer science innovator John Gilmore observed, “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.” Watch for rerouting, in the form of new competition. Whether concerned about data mining or ideologically biased censorship, Americans of all political persuasions are tiring of big social media. Entrepreneurs will rush to the rescue, with alternative platforms users will flock to in droves. In a free society, consumers typically doom nefarious censorship schemes to the scrapheap of failure.

Do Just One Thing

By Eco-Expert Danny Seo Forest fires are usually created by human carelessness, so take these steps to prevent them the next time you burn brush or start a campfire. First, never burn on a windy day; if you see trees swaying, flags that are extended or waves appearing in open water, it’s too windy. If you do a burn pile (though the preference is to mulch or compost natural vegetation), do it at least 50 feet away from any structure and at least 500 feet away from any forested area. And always have a garden hose or at least 5 gallons of water and a shovel handy to extinguish a fire.

ears ago a state lawmaker — in a state other than New Mexico — took it upon himself to try and undermine the public’s perception of the value and effectiveness of newspapers. One of his talking points touched on how long newspapers have been around. If I’m remembering correctly, he made a point of tracing them back to the days of the “horse and buggy” as a way of suggesting newspapers belong to some bygone era. It was an odd line to throw out there. On one hand, it’s technically correct — newspapers have indeed been around a while. But far from being bygone, they’re still here, having survived decade upon decade of challenge and change thanks to their strong and long-lasting connection with the people they serve. And, it must be said, more business ingenuity than they’re sometimes given credit for. Many things have indeed come and gone since the newspaper first became an important part of Americans’ lives. But if one looks around, there are also many things — things

John Dilmore Editor’s Notes we often refer to as institutions — that have stood well the test of time, precisely because of the essential role they play in their communities. Having covered Roswell, Chaves County and the surrounding area for more than 127 years, the Roswell Daily Record, like other newspapers across New Mexico and around the nation, certainly qualifies as such an institution. One of the things that creates and sustains any institution is trust — and when it comes to the outlets we depend on for news and information, nothing is more valuable these days. As I’m writing this, the second day of congressional hearings on how Facebook collects and uses people’s personal information is playing out in Washington. It’s the latest bump in what’s been a rocky road

for the social media platform since the last presidential election cycle, when false information masquerading as news was widely disseminated on the platform. Fake news. It’s nothing new, but technology like Facebook’s has allowed nefarious interests to weaponize it like never before, leaving us faced almost daily with reminders to take care in deciding which news sources to follow and trust. Americans, for the most part, aren’t interested in being duped, and now — forewarned and forearmed — most are exercising more skepticism when faced with headlines too good or too outlandish to be true. Fortunately, the kind of information we consume is a choice, and there are many good options, in print, on the airwaves and yes, online. Newspapers, while far from perfect, still promise a commitment to accuracy and a degree of trust with readers that’s unique — and it’s not just newspaper people who recognize that. When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in March decided to apologize to the plat-

form’s users for this most recent “breach of trust,” he did so with full-page ads in newspapers. Important as trust is, there’s more than that to any newspaper’s connection with its readers. Poll those readers on what they see as the most important aspect of their paper, and you’ll get any number of different answers. Coverage of local government. The score from a high school ballgame. An obituary that lets them know an acquaintance has passed away. A public notice that informs them of a zoning change to nearby property. A much longer list could be made — newspapers remain a one-stop shop for items of interest on topics large and small. They reflect their communities and bear witness at times to the events that define them. And yes, they’ve been around a while — and are still here. There’s good reason for that. ——— John Dilmore is editor of the Roswell Daily Record. He can be reached at editor@rdrnews.com.

Investing in a child is investing in the future

few years ago a 60-something-yearold man came to me for help. It was my first time meeting him. As an attorney having practiced law for over three and a half decades, I was ready to address his legal issues. I listened as he began to share his story. His issue was completely unrelated to his upbringing, but he began his story by saying “When I was seven years old my parents got divorced.” He then moved on and proceeded to explain his current legal problem almost 60 years later. As I listened to his needs I was hurting for this man who felt like his parents divorcing when he was seven was related to his current problem. I wondered how many times over the past 60 years he had shared with complete strangers that his parents got divorced when he was seven. It must have been a painful and life changing-event for him to lead into our discussion with it. I wondered if his parents were still alive and did they know back in the 1960s that their separating and divorcing would be shared in my office in 2015? I wondered if they fully knew the consequences of their actions when their son was seven. This leads me to the importance of what we do as parents. People can have intercourse without any commitment. Risking making a baby or intentionally making a baby is really serious business. The child conceived could become a pillar of our future society or could get hold of weapons and be a mass murder-

Rick Kraft Just A Thought er. Creating children and what we do with them typically lives on after we are gone. The direction of our world is determined by what we do with those we conceive. What you do with children you conceive may impact my life. Or more likely, it may impact my children or my grandchildren’s lives. Regardless of its impact on my life, your creating a child will impact countless other lives that exist now and will exist in the future. That’s a big thought! When my children were young I would sometimes say to a client who is going through a marriage breakup that your 10-year-old daughter or 8-year-old son may marry my 9-yearold son or my 7-year-old daughter. Your child could parent my grandchildren. If you are raising my child’s spouse, that is a big deal to me. Please be careful how you parent and do it well. Too often I see children lost in the legal battle between two parents. What happens is the parents’ hatred for each other is greater than their love for their innocent child. A parent will do spiteful acts solely for the purpose of hurting their former spouse and the end result is a child or children getting hit with the fallout. Spoken more succinctly, the victim

in a revenge relationship is often not the other parent, but the child. There may be victories back and forth between the parents, but the loser will be the child. I wish I could pass legislation that results in children being put first in every case where parents are fighting. If I could write a letter to parents with children who can’t communicate with one another I would tell them that if you would walk across red hot coals barefoot to save the life or your child because you love him or her so dearly, why would you not put aside past issues with your ex for the benefit of your child? Because your parenting will impact countless others for generations to come for the good or bad, your input into a young life will likely pay dividends or hinder others long after you are gone. I live in a world of broken relationships. Broken relationships create income to many professions. These professions include counselors, pastors, some who work in the criminal system, attorneys, judges and the list goes on. I get paid to get involved in relationships that have gone bad between two people who can’t communicate and work through problems. I often joke if people could communicate and get along with one another, I could go drive a truck. Conflicts can arise from a family fighting after a parent’s death, business partners with a personality conflict, neighbors, spouses and so on. When I obtained my certification in mediation, the professor opened the course by saying “95

percent of all disputes are by people who have had a prior relationship.” Basically he was saying you typically need to work out the past before you can solve the present. All families that fight over children have a past that led up to the fight. A child doesn’t just drop from Mars and people suddenly fight over what happens next. My challenge to you is to put your children first, especially if you encounter a broken relationship with the other parent. Regardless of what has led you to the point of breaking a relationship, understand that the children are innocent. What they want more than anything is to see Mommy and Daddy working together, not fighting. They want to love both of their parents. They don’t want to have to keep secrets or choose between the two. Consider what impact your behavior has on the children. If two parents can do this, there is hope for the child. If you do it right, your child at 60-something will not be starting his or her story talking about what happened when he or she was a child and the two of you broke up.

Tierney: The real war on science is from the left

e’ve been told conservatives don’t believe in science and that there’s a “Republican war on science.” But John Tierney, who’s written about science for The New York Times for 25 years and now writes for the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, told me in my latest online video, “The real war on science is the one from the left.” Really? Conservatives are more likely to be creationists — denying evolution. “Right,” says Tierney. “But creationism doesn’t affect the way science is done.” What about President George W. Bush banning government funding of stem cell research? “He didn’t stop stem cell research,” Tierney reminds me. “The government wouldn’t fund it. It turned out that it really didn’t matter much.” Private funding continued and, so far, has not discovered much. “People talk about this Republican war on science, but if you look around, my question is, where are the casualties? What scientists lost their jobs?” asks

The Daily Record is looking for sponsors to support and encourage the adoption of pets from Roswell Animal Control.

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist Tierney. “I can’t find examples where the right wing stopped the progress of science, whereas you can look on the left and you see so many areas that are taboo to research.” Some research on genetically modified foods became taboo because of protests from the left. That may have prevented a second Green Revolution to feed Africa. Scientists can’t even talk about whether genes affect intelligence without being threatened by the left. Political scientists who continued to investigate the topic are screamed at on college campuses, the way Charles Murray, author of “The Bell Curve,” has been. Tierney adds, “The federal government stopped funding IQ

research decades ago.” Likewise, researching gender differences is dangerous to your career. “You can’t talk about sexual differences between men and women, (although) it’s OK if they favor women,” laughs Tierney. “You can say men are more likely to commit crimes, but you can’t suggest that there might be some sexual difference that might predispose men to be more interested in a topic.” Google fired engineer James Damore merely for suggesting that sex differences might explain why more men choose to work in tech. “Damore just pointed out very basic scientific research about differences between the sexes,” argues Tierney. “The experts in this, as soon as he published that memo, said, yes, he basically got the science right.” It’s not as if women aren’t doing well in life, says Tierney. In universities, “women dominate virtually every extracurricular activity, but all the focus has been: ‘Why aren’t there more women physicists and mathe-

maticians, and of course in the sports area, too?’” says Tierney. “There’s this idea that they’re being discriminated against, (but) there have been enormous studies of who gets grants, who gets tenure, who gets interviews for jobs, and women get preference.” However, one group does get discriminated against in colleges: conservatives. “In the social sciences, Democrats outnumber Republicans by at least eight to one. In fields like sociology it’s 44 to one. Students are more likely to be taught in sociology by a Marxist than by a Republican,” says Tierney. “It’s gotten worse and worse.” Why does this happen at colleges that claim they “treasure diversity”? Because people on the left believe diversity just means race and gender, not thought. And even schools that want some diverse thought reach a sort of political tipping point. “Once an academic department gets a majority of people who are on the left, they start hiring people like themselves, and soon the whole department is that way,” says Tierney. “They start to think

that their opinions and that their interests are not only the norm, but the truth.” That’s how we get “scientific” studies that “prove” conservatives are stupid. One such study asked people if they agree with the statement “Earth has plenty of natural resources if we just learn how to develop them.” The researcher called a “yes” answer an “irrational denial of science.” But anyone who’s studied economics knows the statement has repeatedly been proven true. Finally, millions of people die of malaria today partly because many countries believed leftist junk science and needlessly banned DDT. Many were influenced by Rachel Carson’s scientifically challenged book “Silent Spring.” There is a war on science. But most of it doesn’t come from the right. ——— John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t! Why Government Fails — But Individuals Succeed.” The views expressed in this column are those of the author.

Getting your orchids to bloom again Q. The orchid I got in February has dropped all of its flowers. I clipped the flowering spike just above a lower node, but what else should I be doing to keep it alive and make it bloom again? A. Google suggests watering orchids with three ice cubes per week. Guess what, that’s not going to cut it in New Mexico. In fact, that may be a quick way to kill an orchid in these parts. Like many plants, growing an orchid in our dry climate can be a little tricky, once you get the hang of it. People who have gotten theirs to rebloom will tell you it is worth the effort. When I visited Los Alamos County Extension Agent Carlos Valdez this week, I noticed he has several beautiful orchids blooming in his office. I asked Carlos to share his tips for getting various orchid species to bloom again. Recommendations: Orchid pots with large holes in the sides work well. The planting mix of bark bits and sphagnum moss depends somewhat on the size of the orchid and the size of the container holes. For smaller plants, finer bark bits can be used, but you may have to repot more often. For bigger orchids like Cattleya and Cymbidium, use a more coarse mix. Water weekly by submerging the pot in water and letting it soak for about 2 hours in the sink or a bucket and then let it drain completely on a rack. Try different amounts of time and frequency to test moisture retention with your pot-mix-orchid-lighting combo. Do not leave soaking overnight. Be sure to cut the rate of fertilizer recommended on the label. For example, if label rate is 1 tsp. per gallon of water, cut to ½ tsp. per gallon. For every 2-3

Marisa Thompson Southwest Yard & Garden soaks with fertilizer, water once without any fertilizer to help leach salts. North-facing and east-facing windows provide lighting without burning the leaves. In a south-facing window, use sheer curtains for diffused sunlight. If you find evidence of cottony mealybug pests, isolate the orchid from other plants and treat by dabbing the leaf crevices with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Some orchid species are easier to care for and bloom more frequently than others. The most commonly sold orchid is

Dexter athletic director believes in mentors

By Mike Smith Roswell Daily Record

DEXTER — John Reid and Johnny Joe Marrujo are two big names that people recognize in athletic and educational circles in New Mexico, and for David Campbell, athletic director for the Dexter Consolidated Schools, both men are his mentors. Reid, who passed away in 2008, played a prominent role in Campbell’s life. “My biggest mentor of all time is John Reid,” said Campbell. “I was the last coach he hired here at Dexter before he retired. He was the AD here and was the mayor of the town for a while and he was a coach here for years and a teacher. We named the basketball tournament after him.” The John Reid Dexter Invitational took place this past January. Last year marked the 50th year for the tournament. Over the years, Campbell has looked up to Marrujo in many ways. In addition to being a mentor, the principal and athletic director at Tularosa High School, he is also Campbell’s father-inlaw. “I knew him before I met his daughter,” said Campbell. David and Jennifer have been married for six years and he feels that she understands the job having been around athletics for most of her life. “She understands that (is) time that I spend away from home,” Campbell said. David Campbell and his fatherin-law have several things in common, including winning state titles. Marrujo was the head basketball coach at Silver High School in Silver City from 1991-

Dexter Consolidated Schools athletic director David Campbell has performed a variety of functions in the district. He became AD in 2005. 1997. He had a record of 115-510. “In fact, the year before we won the state football title at Dexter, his team won the state championship in Silver City in basketball,” Campbell said. The Demons took state on the gridiron in 1997.

“The kids, they bought into the program and they worked hard,” Campbell said. While Campbell has had people that he has looked up to, it could be said that he has passed his knowledge down to others. A member of that state championship team is now Dexter’s head

baseball coach. Arturo Duran became head coach in 2013 and he quarterbacked the Demons more than 20 years ago. Campbell laughed when he was asked if he thought his former signal caller would be coaching for him several years later.

“I knew he was a good kid,” said Campbell. “I didn’t know at the time he wanted to go into coaching. I knew he was a heck of a good athlete. One of the better athletes we’ve had around here. I had no idea he wanted to get into coaching.” Campbell coached football for six years and then took a couple of years off to get a master’s degree in educational administration and got the AD job in 2005. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Northern University in health and physical education with a minor in biology. Campbell is also mentoring a current Demon player as well. Allyssa Madden is a senior on the softball team and she is Campbell’s stepdaughter. Campbell said she transferred from Alamogordo High School and she has adjusted well coming from a larger school. “She loves the small school and I call it the small school attitude or hometown attitude,” said Campbell. “When I was first interviewed 26 years ago by Mr. Reid, that was one thing he talked about was small town attitude and you know in a small town everybody knows everybody. Everybody (is) out there on Friday night or Thursday night for a basketball game, especially against your rival and you know you’re not going to lose to them. She loves that, a lot more of the small town.” Campbell has worn many hats during his time in Dexter. Besides coaching multiple sports and being the athletic director, he’s also a teacher and before he heads to Dexter High School in See DEXTER, Page B2

This was followed by a ground out to second base which brought home a man from third and then a throwing error gave the Cougars one more to put the Aggies down 3-0.

Roswell Daily Record Hereford, TX. Jo attended Hagerman Public Schools, graduating high school in 1950 and matriculating to Pasadena College, where she earned a BA in Education, subsequently attaining a California teaching certificate. She married Leroy C. Storey in 1952 and they served in the pastorate in the Fillmore, CA Church of the Nazarene. Later they briefly served in the pastorate of the Ridgecrest, CA Church of the Nazarene, where Jo began her career as a kindergarten teacher on the China Lake Naval Base. Jo returned permanently to her beloved Pecos Valley in 1977, following the dissolution of her 24-year marriage. She enjoyed painting, eventually doing over three hundred pieces in oil, pastels, watercolor and acrylics, most of which she gave to friends. She wrote poetry, songs, and true stories about great answers to prayers that she witnessed the Lord performing in her life and the lives of those around her. Until failing health prevented it, Jo loved to work in her vegetable garden and around her fruit trees and grape vines. She always had produce to share with her friends and neighbors. For 17 years Jo attend-

ed the First Church of the Nazarene in Roswell and faithfully sang in the church choir. She also helped create costumes for Easter and Christmas programs and many national flags to decorate the church for the District Missionary Convention. Later she became a charter member of Grace Community Church, where she found her personal ministry in cheerfully passing out salvation tracts in both English and Spanish. She sent large boxes of tracts to foreign mission fields and to military servicemen and women serving abroad. If you knew Jo for long, you learned that she was never shy about witnessing to others and urging them to do whatever they needed to make sure they made it into heaven. Through her personal evangelism, she led many to Christ. She fervently believed in Isaiah 55:11 that “God’s word shall not return to Him void, but will accomplish that whereunto it is sent.” She has gone on ahead of us, but we know where she is.

Czech filmmaker Milos Forman, whose American movies “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Amadeus” won a deluge of Academy Awards, including best director Oscars, died Saturday. He 86 Forman died about 2 a.m. Saturday at Danbury Hospital, near his home in Warren, Conn., according to a statement released by the former director’s agent, Dennis Aspland. Aspland said Forman’s wife, Martina, notified him of the death. When he arrived in Hollywood in the late 1960s, Forman was lacking in both money and English skills, but carrying a portfolio of Czechoslavkian films much admired internationally for their quirky, lighthearted spirit. Among them were “Black Peter,” ‘‘Loves of a Blonde” and “The Fireman’s Ball.” The orphan of Nazi Holocaust victims, Forman had abandoned his homeland after communist troops invaded in 1968 and crushed a brief period of political and artistic freedom known as the Prague Spring. In America, his record as a Czech filmmaker was enough to gain him entree to Hollywood’s studios, but his early suggestions for film projects were quickly rejected. Among them were an adaptation of Franz Kafka’s novel “Amerika” and a comedy starring entertainer Jimmy Durante as a wealthy bear hunter in Czechoslovakia.

After his first U.S. film, 1969’s “Taking Off,” flopped, Forman didn’t get a chance to direct a major feature again for five years. He occupied himself during part of that time by covering the decathlon at the 1972 Olympics for the documentary “Visions of Eight.” “Taking Off,” an amusing look at generational differences in a changing America, had won praise from critics who compared it favorably to Forman’s Czech films. But without any big-name stars it quickly tanked at the box office. Actor Michael Douglas gave Forman a second chance, hiring him to direct “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,” which Douglas was co-producing. The film, based on Ken Kesey’s novel about a misfit who leads the inmates of a mental institution in a revolt against authority, captured every major Oscar at that year’s Academy Awards, the first film to do so since 1934”s “It Happened One Night.” The winners included Jack Nicholson as lead actor, Louise Fletcher as lead actress, screenwriters Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben, Forman as director and the film itself for best picture. The director, who worked meticulously, spending months with screenwriters and overseeing every aspect of production, didn’t release another film until 1979’s “Hair.” The musical, about rebellious 1960s-era American youth, appealed to a

director who had witnessed his own share of youthful rebellion against communist repression in Czechoslovakia. But by the time it came out, America’s brief period of student revolt had long since faded, and the public wasn’t interested. “Ragtime” followed in 1981. The adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s novel, notable for Forman’s ability to persuade his aging Connecticut neighbor Jimmy Cagney to end 20 years of retirement and play the corrupt police commissioner, also was a disappointment. Forman returned to top form three years later, however, when he released “Amadeus.” Based on Peter Shaffer’s play, it portrayed 18th century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a foul-mouthed manchild, with lesser composer Salieri as his shadowy nemesis. It captured seven Academy Awards, including best picture, best director and best actor (for F. Murray Abraham as Salieri). Hunting for locations, Forman realized Prague was the only European capital that had changed little since Mozart’s time, but returning there initially filled him with dread. His parents had died in a Nazi concentration camp when he was 9. He had been in Paris when the communists crushed the Prague Spring movement in 1968, and he hadn’t bothered to return home, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1975. The Czech government,

realizing the money to be made by letting “Amadeus” be filmed in Prague, allowed Forman to come home, and the public hailed his return. “There was an enormous affection for us doing the film,” he remarked in 2002. “The people considered it a victory for me that the authorities had to bow to the almighty dollar and let the traitor back.” Never prolific, Forman’s output slowed even more after “Amadeus,” and his three subsequent films were disappointments. “Valmont” (1989) reached audiences a year after “Dangerous Liaisons,” both based on the same French novel. “The People vs. Larry Flint” (1996) was an ill-advised attempt to paint the Hustler magazine publisher as a free-speech advocate. “Man on the Moon,” based on the life of cult hero Andy Kaufman, did win its star, Jim Carrey, a Golden Globe. But it also failed to fully convey Kaufman’s pioneering style of offbeat comedy or the reasons for his disdaining success at every turn. Jan Tomas Forman, born in Caslav, Czechoslovakia, was raised by relatives after his parents’ deaths and attended arts school in Prague. The director’s first marriage, to actress Jana Brejchova ended in divorce. He left his second wife, singer Vera Kresadlova, behind with the couple’s two children when he left Czechoslovakia. He married Martina Zborilova in 1999.

Friends separated by the Holocaust reunite in California

By John Rogers Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Alice Gerstel bid an emotional farewell to her family’s closest friends in October 1941, she was hopeful she’d see “Little Simon” Gronowski again. And she did — 76 years later and half a world away from where they were separated in Brussels. Gerstel and her Jewish family had hidden in the Gronowskis’ home for nearly two weeks before her father sent word from France that he had reached a deal with a smuggler who would get her, her siblings and their mother safely out of Nazi-occupied Belgium. The Gronowskis, also Jewish, decided to stay. They hid for 18 months until the Nazis came knocking at the family’s door and put Simon, his sister and mother on a death train to Auschwitz. “I thought the entire family was murdered. I had no idea,” Gerstel (now Gerstel Weit) said Wednesday, the day after their tearful reunion. She and her friend clutched hands at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust as they recounted their story. “You didn’t know that I jumped off the train?” asked Gronowski, now 86. “No, no. I didn’t know anything,” his 89-year-old friend replied. The two will return to the museum Sunday to recount to visitors how the Holocaust ripped apart a pair of families that had become fast friends after a chance meeting at a Belgian beach resort in 1939. How it led an 11-year-old boy to make one of the most daring escapes of the war. How it put the other family on a perilous journey through occupied France that reads like a scene from the film “Casablanca.” And, finally, how those separate journeys culmi-

In this Wednesday photo, childhood Holocaust survivors Simon Gronowski and Alice Gerstel Weit embrace at the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum. When the Nazis arrived, Gronowski’s father was in a hospital. His wife quickly lied, telling them he was dead and sparing him from Auschwitz. It was on a train to that death camp a few weeks later that she saved her son, pushing him toward the door of the boxcar they were in and telling him to jump. nated three-quarters of a century later in a joyful, tear-streaked reunion in Los Angeles just before Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Commemoration Day. “I didn’t recognize him at all. I don’t see Little Simon,” Gerstel Weit said Wednesday of her previous day’s reunion with the now-bald, white-bearded man who sat next to her chuckling. “But he’s here. Little Simon is here,” she added, her voice breaking as she put her hand over Gronowski’s heart. There was much hugging, kissing and crying Wednes-

day as the two old friends held hands tightly while sitting outside on a museum patio to share memories from a long-ago past. It was a past that began idyllically before turning nightmarish after the Nazis invaded Belgium in 1940 and began rounding up Jews. Gerstel Weit’s father, a diamond dealer with a wife and four children, decided to flee in 1941. He turned his diamonds into cash, bought nine visas that got his family and brother’s family through Nazi-occupied France and to the

French-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca. There they boarded a ship bound for Cuba. Gronowski’s father believed naively he and his family would be safe hiding in Brussels. “My father was not very conscious to tension. My father was not political. He was a poet. He wrote in six languages,” Gronowski said, pausing to wipe away tears. “And like so many of the families he remember in Brussels,” he continued in Dutch-accented English, “he cannot believe that in

Europe of the 20th century, of that civilization, he cannot believe that Germany can fall into barbarism.” When the Nazis arrived, Gronowski’s father was in a hospital. His wife quickly lied, telling them he was dead and sparing him from Auschwitz. It was on a train to that death camp a few weeks later that she saved her son, pushing him toward the door of the boxcar they were in and telling him to jump. After the war he reunited with his father and eventually moved back to the

apartment where he grew up. He rented out the other units and used the money to pay for law school. He is a practicing attorney in Brussels. Gerstel Weit’s family immigrated to the United States, where she married, had two sons and eventually settled in Los Angeles and a career in real estate. Immediately after the war, her family tried to locate their friends. Gronowski eventually wrote back to Gerstel Weit’s late older brother Zoltan, telling him his sister and mother had died at Auschwitz and his father had since passed away. For some reason, Zoltan never told his family “Little Simon” survived. She learned he was alive six months ago when her nephew searched her maiden name online looking for more family history. He came across Gronowski’s 2002 memoir, “The Child of the 20th Train,” in which her family is mentioned prominently. Gronowski says he believes Gerstel Weit’s brother was too distraught to say much about his family. His 18-year-old sister, Ita, had been Zoltan Gerstel’s girlfriend in Belgium, and he had professed his love for her repeatedly in wartime letters, including some she never lived to see. Gronowski’s own father could never come to grips with the Holocaust either, he said. For a time, Leon Gronowski held out hope his wife and daughter somehow survived and he would find them. “But when we received information of the concentration camps, the gas chamber, the mountains of corpses, my father understood that his wife and his daughter would not come back. And he died of ...,” he said, his voice trailing off. “Of a broken heart?” Gerstel Weit asked. “Of a broken heart,” he replied.

overs of piano music can hear live performances by two renowned pianists four days apart as the Roswell Symphony Orchestra and Artesia Arts Council finish their 2017-18 seasons with pianists. On April 21, Daniel Hsu, a 2017 Cliburn Bronze Medalist, will perform Lugwig van Beethoven’s Concerto No. 4 with the RSO. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Pearson Auditorium on the New Mexico Military Institute campus. On April 23, Ann Sweeten, who composes all of her piano compositions, will perform as a soloist at the Ocotillo Performing Arts Center, 310 W. Main St. in Artesia.

During the 2016-17 season, Hsu performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C Major with the RSO. The piece is known for its melodic second movement. It is a rare occasion when the RSO features the same soloist two years back-to-back. However, Hsu is back because of the arrangement RSO has with The Cliburn, a nonprofit organization that sponsors the annual Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Hsu (his last name is pronounced “shoe”) is a year older now, which means he is only 20. He made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 2017 and some of his recent highlights include the release of his first solo album by Decca Gold and a performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra in

2016. A native of the San Francisco Bay area, Hsu began his studies at age 6. He made his concerto debut with the Fremont (California) Symphony Orchestra at age 8 and his recital debut at the Steinway Society of the Bay Area at age 9. At age 10, he was accepted into Curtis Institute of Music along with his two older siblings. In an interview with the Roswell Daily Record, Hsu said he is looking forward to working again with the RSO and conductor John Farrer. “I had a good time when we worked together,” he said. Hsu said he ran into Farrer immediately after the Cliburn competition, where they spoke about his return to Roswell. Asked whether Beethoven ranks

Killing on the Chisum Ranch

By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Roswell Daily Record

Cowboys riled up over fancy sombrero stolen from leader of Mexican band of thieves

ow many of you know that there was a killing and burial on Chisum’s Ranch the Jingle Bob southeast of Roswell? Those were the days of cattle rustling, gambling and vigilante justice. Sometimes it was hard to tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy, if in fact, one could distinguish between the two. The following story comes from the book, “The Southwest of John Horton Slaughter,” written by Alan A. Erwin.

From Dimmit County near the Slaughter Trail out of Fort Ewell came a cowboy by the name of Barney Gallagher. He was now making his home around Fort Stockton, Texas. Here was a band of rustlers and Gallagher was said to be one of them. His sidekick was a man remembered by some old-timers as Boyd. Somewhere trouble had brewed between him and John Slaughter. He followed John’s trail across the arroyos on up from Black River, leading past Seven Rivers up to South Springs, where Chisum was headquartering. On this occasion, John Chisum was not home, but his brothers Jim and Pitzer were present. Sometime before this, Gallagher had killed a leader of a bunch of Mexican thieves and had taken his sombrero. It was

among his favorite composers, Hsu said his favorite composers vary from month to month, but Beethoven is consistently in the top three. Beethoven was known for breaking conventions. For example, one of his most famous compositions, the Moonlight Sonata (Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor), starts with the adagio (slow) movement and is then followed by the allegro (fast) movement, a complete reversal of the conventional sonata-allegro format. In his third symphony, the Eroica, Beethoven startles listeners with two crashing E-flat major chords before the melody begins. Beethoven again breaks convention in his fourth piano concerto, having the piano begin before the

a costly thing, mounted with silver and gold trimmings. All the rustler crowd were after Gallagher asking him to will it to them, if he should ever die. However, this was far from Barney Gallagher’s mind. He was brave and a good shot. His mission was to kill Slaughter, take his money belt and run off his cattle. He had brought his boys with

ery few bands have influenced an entire generation with their style and stayed as relevant to rock and country music as The Marshall Tucker Band has done. Alabama, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt and Blake Shelton all name The Marshall Tucker Band as one of their biggest influences. Trend setter, the voice of the American highway, legend, those names all befit the band that started out as music rebels in the early 1970s. Along with the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band brought the songs of the American South to to the world. The “Marshall Tucker” in the band’s name does not refer to a band member, but rather a Spartanburg, South Carolina-area blind piano tuner. While the band was discussing possible band names one evening in an old warehouse they had rented for rehearsal space, someone noticed that the warehouse’s door key had the name “Marshall Tucker” inscribed on it, and suggested they call themselves “The Marshall Tucker Band,” not realizing it referred to an actual person. Their unique mix of rock, jazz and country influenced generations of musicians and the band’s work ethic stood out from others who liked the party life a little too much. Their tours and live performances became legendary. They developed the image of a hard-working band that never lets their fans down and always deliver. With tours, openings for other bands, awards and gold records followed. The band recorded “Searchin’ for a Rainbow” in 1975 and followed with “Long Hard Ride” in 1976 while continuing to tour 250 to 300 days a year. With songs such as “Can’t You See,” “Heard It In A Love Song” and “Fire On The Mountain,” the band was a constant on the country and rock ‘n’ roll charts. In its long career, The Marshall Tucker Band has recorded 22 studio albums, three live albums, three DVDs and many compilation recordings. The band’s music also has been featured in several movies and television shows. This year, The Marshall Tucker Band was asked to join Lynyrd Skynyrd on the road for their The Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour. “We support Lynyrd Skynyrd and were honored to join,” said Doug Gray, the last of the original band members and a U.S. Army veteran. Gray’s childhood was strongly influenced by his mother Peggy, who at age 7 brought him to different venues. She and his father, a cotton-mill worker, believed in his talent. “I didn’t have a piano or guitar,” Gray said. “She just told me to sing and I did. Elvis’ newest songs were just released and I would sing ‘Love Me Tender.’” Gray’s parents welcomed him home after every tour.

orchestra. Hsu commented about the concerto: “In that sense it’s kind of remarkable how the piano starts out with this incredible thing then the symphony comes in with a different harmony. Having the soloist come out first is really quite remarkable.” Asked to compare Beethoven with his contemporary, Mozart, Hsu said, “I would say Beethoven is very different from Mozart. Mozart is also a genius. Beethoven in his later works is more complex emotionally. Sonically, it’s an evolved, different sound with different character. Mozart seemed to stick to tradition while Beethoven strayed away from it. Without Beethoven, classical music would have gone in a different direction.” Along with his passion for music, Hsu also is a fan of Marvel comics. Asked which Marvel character he’d like to be, Hsu doesn’t choose a superhero like Spider-Man or Captain America. Instead, he picks Groot, a tree-like character who appears in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” flicks. Although Groot only says two words in each movie, “I’m Groot,” Hsu said those two words encompass several different meanings.

Ann Sweeten Sweeten lives in Salem, Massachusetts, which is north of Boston. Similar to the way Roswell’s history with an alleged flying saucer crash attracts tourists, Salem’s infamy for the 1692 and 1693 witch trials draws tourists for the entire month of October, Sweeten said. Despite all the hubbub over the witch trials, Sweeten told the Roswell Daily Record she loves the area because it is only a half-

Vistas hour from downtown Boston, close to the mountains and even closer to the sea shore. Sweeten said she looks forward to returning to New Mexico, where she performed in Artesia in 2012 and Alamogordo in 2014. Though Sweeten’s piano music may sound improvised, she said it is all composed. “It is all written down. I am classically trained,” she said. “But there is a bending of rhythms of tempos and a blending of many genres. Like any artist, I will play in the moment.” Sweeten said her writing influences come from her exposure to various arts. She also is trained in dance and musical theater. As an actress, she has starred in such roles as Aldonza (“Man of La Mancha”), Sister Amnesia (“Nunsense”), Miss Mona (“Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”) and Velma Kelly (“Chicago”). Sweeten did a two-year stint as female front and lyricist to the pop/rock band Fallout. Then she began appearing on cruise ships, in cabaret clubs and resorts, playing and singing a wide range of material including jazz, pop, folk, new age and Broadway music. A few of her favorite classical composers are Edvard Grieg, Franz Liszt and Claude Debussy. “I’m a big fan of the Romantic and Impressionist eras,” she said. “I also am a big fan of (Stephen) Sondheim and (Leonard) Bernstein. They all have had a big influence on me.” In 1997, Sweeten’s career took a life-changing turn when she started introducing original material to her set lists. She said the response was overwhelming. “By the third album in 2000, people started writing to me about the healing power of the music,” she said. “After the third album, my music was really taking

off and there was so much spiritual reward. There was nothing that could remotely touch that.” Sweeten now produces her music with Will Ackerman, an acoustic guitarist and the former owner of the Windham Hill independent record label. Founded in the late 1970s, Windham Hill recorded an eclectic mix of acoustic, folk and new age music. One of the label’s most popular artists is pianist George Winston, whose “December” album is certified triple Platinum. Ackerman sold the label to BMG in 1992. Sweeten said she met Ackerman in 2006 after he had moved from the West Coast to Vermont. On her recordings, Sweeten often includes other instruments with the piano like cello and English horn. In the beginning, she said she wrote all of the arrangements and brought in musicians, but will now often use a group of musicians who work with Ackerman. Rather than having a strict score that the musicians must follow notefor-note, Sweeten said she lets them “weave out melodies and create texture and color.” She added: “I am a soloist. I think it’s just kind of fun to bring in a cello on a weepy piece. I like to punch up whatever that emotional appeal is in the piece, whether it’s a cello or an English horn. I like to punch the mood rather than take any kind of center stage.” Although she works with an ensemble on many of her recordings, Sweeten will perform solo on April 23.

Oddities Florida man’s own dashboard camera lands him in jail

He was arrested Tuesday on burglary charges. Records don’t list a lawyer.

ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man ended up in jail after his dashboard camera showed police more than he intended. The Palm Beach Post reports that after 25-year-old Xavier Moran was involved in a crash on April 5, he told a sheriff’s deputy he had been cut off by another driver and could prove it with his dashboard camera. He then signed a consent waiver to search the camera. Begin Rubicon Project Tag Site: Associated Press Zone: AP News - Web Size: Medium Rectangle When the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy reviewed the footage, he saw Moran burglarizing a beauty store. Authorities say the video showed Moran taking a baseball bat from the trunk and someone using the bat to break the glass door to the store.

Tiger reported running through streets of New York — or not NEW YORK (AP) — A false report of a tiger in the streets of New York has caused a social media frenzy. WNBC says the New York Police Department got a call around 8:30 a.m. Thursday about a tiger in Harlem. People on Twitter described a notification from the Citizen app that said police were responding to unconfirmed reports of a loose tiger running around the street. Shortly thereafter, police confirmed that there was indeed a wild-animal sighting. It was a raccoon.

“I think I am like my mom, I have her humor. Her first question she’d asked me when I came home from a tour was, ‘When are you leaving?’” he said and laughed. Gray said that being on the road for such a long time was difficult on his private life. “It shows on how many wives I had,” he quipped. After all of that success, Gray said he is still amazed about his career. “I still can’t believe it when bands (and musicians) like Santana, Elton John and Lynyrd Skynyrd come up to jam with us, and my fellow band members, too.” He added: “We loved what we did. That’s why we didn’t break up. We had a family at home and we were family on the road.” “When we started, we didn’t have all the accessories the young people have today. It was a lot of work. Musicians today can’t just lay back, you still have to work 365 days a year. Today’s bands have the benefit of technology. We didn’t even have cellphones,” Gray said. “Our

first songs were on 8-tracks and 45 records. My daughter asked me, ‘How does that work?’ I still have an 8-track player and showed her.” Gray is still a southern gentleman, saying that kindness toward others is important. Also, that he would always open the doors for others, if they are younger or older, male or female. This isn’t Gray’s first visit to Roswell. He’s been here as a visitor to learn about the UFO crash. Gray said he is looking forward to meeting his fans in Roswell. “Come up to me after the show.” Opening for the band is local musician Robin Scott. “I am excited to open the show for the pioneers of the southern rock sound of the 70s — The Marshall Tucker Band is a paragon,” Scott said. The Marshall Tucker Band will be performing at The Liberty Club, 312 N. Virginia Ave., April 19, at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 6 p.m. The concert is for adults 21 years and older who are members along with their guests.

It’s unknown if Hoefs has a lawyer. No phone number for her can be found.

him to do just that. There must’ve been some betting among the men, and Gallagher’s wager was the valuable sombrero just in case he lost. Playing the role of a sure winner, Gallagher rode up to the tail end of the herd and spoke to one of the Slaughter cowboys. “You tell that little rat-headed Slaughter up front, I’m here to kill him.” “Wait right here, I’ll tell Mr. Slaughter what you said,” was the reply, and the drag rider loped up to the pointers and waved his boss down. –––––––––– Like vultures lined up 100 yards off to one side sat Gallagher’s men on horseback. They were not taking part, only joking about how the sombrero would look on them. Slaughter loped his horse at a good pace heading for the bad man who had announced in such an unfriendly way that he had come to kill him. Gallagher was waiting for his man to come into range, holding a sawed-off shotgun in his hand. As Slaughter closed the gap, Gallagher spurred his horse to meet him and swerved to the side to make sure his buckshot would find its mark. Since Slaughter’s coat was flying in the breeze and his hands were on the rein, Gallagher must have thought it certain that his threat would be carried out. Then like a flash a pistol came as if out of nowhere. Slaughter kept on the pommel of the saddle before him. One shot hit Gallagher in the heart and he fell out of the saddle. Whether a second shot was fired is not known. In 1876, Gus Gildea, a trail driver, stopped by the Chisum Ranch on South Springs. He had known Gallagher in Dimmit County, describing him as a typical old-time cowboy of his day. He saw where Gallagher had fallen only shortly before. Several accounts of this fight between Slaughter and Gallagher at South Springs have been published. But only the mention made by Gus Gildea and Raht, in his “Romance of the Davis Mountains,” gave a reasonable clue. Fannie Slaughter, who lived on the Black River when this happened, gave the account here mentioned. Will Chisum, who had arrived there a few months later, heard a somewhat similar account. However, when Gen. Lew Wallace came into office as governor of New Mexico, he listed the killing as murder. This idea was conveyed to him by a man named Gilbert at Seven Rivers, and John Slaughter would hear more of this later. –––––––––– It was learned that Slaughter had a misunderstanding with Gallagher and Boyd over a game of poker in San Antonio. It seems Slaughter was pointed out as being well-fixed, and one who liked to play poker. Gallagher and Boyd decided to fleece him, and as the story goes, by playing a game with marked cards. The game started on Commerce Street in a back room and went on for hours. Gold coins often appeared and the pots were raised to high stakes. Then when things looked good for Slaughter, he suddenly saw a crooked move involving a joker up the sleeve. Before Gallagher could rake in the pot, he found himself and Boyd staring down the muzzle of a six shooter. Slaughter swept up the pot, stuffed it in his pocket, then made a quick exit into the dark and got away. Now they were out to get the man who beat them at their own game. They saddled up and headed for Frio Town, and after arriving with quite a mob,

When Charley (older brother to John H Slaughter) answered the door they were certain this was John who was about the same size. In San Antonio all had been drinking, and they were in no condition to know whether Charley was John or vice versa. It took a lot of per-

suading that this was not John. Finally a little girl was given a message to call Billy Slaughter, as he was very much respected in the neighborhood. He came at once and saved Charley’s life. By this time John had gone with Billy Childress to the Devil’s River. Charley had told them John was in New Mexico, thinking prob-

Sunday, April 15, 2018 ably the matter would be dropped. Charley’s explanation must have not been clear, for they thought he said John was in Mexico, not New Mexico. When William J Chisum arrived at South Springs Ranch to live with his uncle John in December 1877, the grave of Barney Gallagher was still fresh. Gallagher was buried near an old irrigation ditch about 100 yards from the old square adobe ranch house on the Chisum place near Roswell. His funeral was simple. He was stripped of his belongings, rolled in a saddle blanket and buried. After Slaughter had left, Boyd returned with a few of his henchmen and lay claim to Gallagher‘s expensive, embroidered and silver mounted Mexican sombrero. He said Gallagher had promised it to him, should the latter die. As William J Chisum summed it all up, Gallagher was simply “Pecosed,” which was the slang term used by the cowboys for anyone who met a similar fate along the banks of the Pecos River. Gallagher was only one of many who occupied an unmarked grave in that country. Down on Seven Rivers, a tributary of the Pecos, Charley had scouted a ranch location. Perhaps he didn’t like the close call he had experienced in Texas from Gallagher’s Fort Stockton rustlers. At first, Charley had a temporary camp at Seven Rivers along about 3 a.m. on the day after Gallagher was killed, a breathless messenger swiftly dismounted from his fleet footed cow pony and found John’s brother asleep. Rattling the wagon

sheet that sheltered him, he brought the message that John had just killed a man at the Chisum Ranch. Within a half hour, Charley and his informant were headed for the Jingle Bob headquarters, only to find that his younger brother had headed in the direction of the Casey Ranch, well out of danger of any of Gallagher’s lurking henchmen. Editor’s note: This is just another story of the Pecos Valley and the part it played in the Old West. ––––––––––

ohn Horton Slaughter (Oct. 2, 1841 — Feb. 16, 1922), also known as Texas John Slaughter, was an American lawman, cowboy, poker player and rancher in the southwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After serving in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War, Slaughter earned a reputation fighting hostile Indians and Mexican and American outlaws in the Arizona and New Mexico territories. In the latter half of his life, he lived at the San Bernardino Ranch, which is today a well-preserved National Historic Landmark in Cochise County in far southeastern Arizona. He battled in the American Civil War, Apache and Comanche Wars, and was a Texas Ranger, rancher, sheriff and U.S. Marshal. Source: Wikipedia.

C4 Sunday, April 15, 2018 Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My husband’s brother split from his wife, “Charlotte,” five years ago and now works and lives in another country. The brothers are still quite close. His school-age daughters live nearby and are close to their cousins, our daughters. Charlotte’s latest boyfriend (they have been dating for 18 months) has started insisting on hanging out with my husband and trying to “bond” with him. He is also jumping with both feet into the role of stepfather, especially with the younger daughter, who has just returned after living with her father for the last seven months. It feels awkward and weird, but we are too polite to say anything to him or Charlotte because we’re afraid she’ll restrict us from seeing our nieces. What is your advice? ANXIOUS IN AUSTRALIA

Comics DEAR ANXIOUS: Not knowing the terms of your brother-in-law’s divorce, my advice is to consider that Charlotte has been with this man for a year and a half. He may be trying to form a relationship with your husband because he wants to bond with “the relatives.” Your husband doesn’t have to be best friends with him, but he should keep the relationship cordial — not only for the nieces, but also so his brother can stay informed about them. HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I have an addiction to vitamin gummies. They say to eat only two a day, but I eat almost half a container a day. They’re so good. This has been a problem for five years.

You can welcome them without dread! Susan G., Forestburgh, N.Y.

Roswell Daily Record

Somber close to the bridal fashion career of Amsale Aberra York first after graduation. Aberra followed and soon enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She later joined the school’s board of trustees and remained a member until her death. She went into the bridal industry after searching to no avail for a wedding gown she liked for her own nuptials in 1985. She made one herself instead. Although her achievements were great, Brown

By Leanne Italie Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — It was a somber end Friday to the last bridal collection created by the late Amsale Aberra, closing silently with the first gown she ever designed for her namesake line — a sleek satin column look with an illusion neckline from 1990, when so many brides favored huge ball skirts and pouffy sleeves. The music was shut off and only the clicks of photographers’ cameras were heard as the model in Aberra’s “A101” dress walked on a terrace of the Gramercy Park Hotel, on the city’s first warm and sunny day of spring. The model was of Ethiopian descent, Aberra’s native country, showing off the gown after a short video played of Aberra talking about her work. “Every time someone came to say ‘I’m wearing your dress,’ it’s such a privilege to me,” Aberra said on the video. “It’s just a nice feeling.” The bridal designer died April 1 at age 64 after battling uterine cancer. She worked until the final fitting on the Spring 2019 line two weeks before her passing. Her death was relatively sudden, said her husband and the Amsale company’s president and CEO, Neil Brown. “The incredible outpouring of love and admiration for her has been such a driving force at this time,” he told The Associated Press. “It’s really been such a powerful energizer for us.” Brown and the couple’s 30-year-old daughter, Rachel Amsale Brown, were in the audience, greeting friends and admirers before and after the show. Aberra rose to prominence on the strength of “A101” and similar silhouettes, embracing a singular aesthetic of understated elegance that carried her through more than 30 years in fashion. Aberra herself said it best in the video that came near the end of the show: “The Amsale bride is someone who is classic but modern. Her approach in design is very simple and clean, yet sophisticated. She’s confident. She doesn’t like flashy thing(s) but something which is really good quality, and quality is important to her.” Quality was of extreme importance to Aberra as well, whether she was serving clients of her couture Amsale line or the lower-priced Nouvelle.
