In the afternoon, Sheriff Britt Snyder and 37 sheriff’s deputies, two animal control officers and a civil processor were sworn in by Riggs in the packed commission chambers. Snyder, a 25-year veteran of the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office, defeated Pat Barncastle, chief investigator for the Fifth Judicial District Attorney Janetta Hicks, by 12 votes in a four -way race for Chaves County sheriff in the Republican primary in June.
Treacherous traction
Snyder ran unopposed in the general election. Snyder, whose mother was killed by a drunk driver, said enforcing driving while intoxicated laws would be a top priority of his administration. Snyder announced Shane Baker will be his chief deputy when Snyder assumes office today. Baker joined the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office in 2006 after serving 26 years at the

City property sales put on hold for further study

Roswellites were driving very carefully New Year’s Eve morning with the powdery winter wonderland awaiting them outside.
A number of items came before the Building and Lands Committee on Monday, but the panel deferred action on all of them pending further study. Dean Sons, a local far mer who leases land from the city, asked the committee to consider renewing his lease for a five-year term instead of a 10-year term. “I am getting to the point where I am wanting to wind things up,” Sons said. The lease expires in 2015 and the committee has to recommend renewing the lease to the full City Council for final approval. Sons noted that he had installed a new $125,000 irrigation system that he
would leave on the property and donate to the city at the end of his lease. “I know you have done an outstanding job with your farm,” said City Councilor and Committee Member Steve Henderson. “You have really kept the property clean, and accommodated the city over the years. You’ve done a great job and taken good care of the land.” Henderson said that Sons has been a good steward of the city’s property and that the committee needs to recognize that fact during its deliberations. City Manager Steve Polasek said there has been some discussion about the property out near Leprino Foods, and noted that the
Year ends with Gov. Martinez prepares for 2nd term state’s gas price average dropping SUBMITTED BY AAA NEW MEXICO
Drivers taking a road trip to celebrate the New Year will get another break at the gas pumps. According to the AAA New Mexico Weekend Gas Watch the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in the Land of Enchantment is now $2.12. That’s nine cents less than last week and ninety-five cents less than one year ago. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in New Mexico, drivers in Las Cruces are paying the most at $2.05 per gallon while drivers in Albuquerque are paying the least at $1.96 per gallon. The average in New Mexico is 15 cents less than the national average of $2.27 per gallon. AAA New Mexico fore-
casted 7.5 million Mountain Region residents (New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming) will travel 50 miles or more away from home from Dec. 23 through Jan. 4. The majority, 6.7 million, are taking trips by automobile and are benefitting even more from this latest drop in retail gas prices. AAA estimates that drivers are saving more than $500 million per day each day compared to the highs in both the spring and summer.

TODAY’S FORECAST
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — When the clock strikes midnight today, Susana Martinez will be sworn in for her second term as the governor of New Mexico during a private ceremony in the governor’s mansion. Waiting for the rising star in the Republican Party will be a GOP-led House, something the state hasn’t seen in 60 years. Also ready to greet her is another Democraticcontrolled Senate that likely isn’t going to roll over and approve sweeping Republican-led refor ms without a fight. Still, Martinez enters her second ter m with more political capital after easily winning re-election over Democrat Gary King in a campaign that stressed bipartisanship. She remains the nation’s only Latina governor. Matt Barreto, co-founder of a nonpartisan Latino political research firm and a University of Washington political science professor, said the next few weeks

Barreto said Martinez can’t blame Democrats this time, especially since she campaigned on working with both parties and because she has been critical of Washington for its political gridlock.

will be critical to Martinez’s future as a potential national figure in the Republican Party. That’s because the upcoming 60day session, which begins Jan. 20, will determine if Martinez can successfully navigate the divided Legislature. “Martinez has an opportunity to demonstrate she can work with both chambers to get legislation passed,” Barreto said.

The Republican-led House is expected to be friendly on the governor’s education refor m plans and her efforts to repeal a state law that allows immigrants in the country illegally to obtain driver’s licenses. However, Martinez still will likely face resistance from a Democratic-controlled Senate that can block legislation and appointments in commit-

“If she comes out of the session with nothing, it could hurt her,” Barreto said. “She’s going to need something on her resume that shows she can get things done.”
Martinez will hold a public swearing-in ceremony Thursday at the New Mexico State Capitol. After the ceremony, Martinez will host a “Gover nor’s True Inaugural Ball” at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Danny Diaz, a spokesman for the Martinez campaign, said the inaugural ball is being funded entirely by private donations. A ticket for the dinner and concert costs $100, he said.

Feds deny performance pay to nuke dump operator ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The contractor that runs the federal government’s underground nuclear waste repository is being denied millions of dollars in performance pay as part of the financial fallout from a radiation leak that forced the closure of the facility.
Federal of ficials have said it could take years and a half-billion dollars to restart operations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Project Plant near Carlsbad because of the February leak. The U.S. Energy Department said in documents released Tuesday that it is paying Nuclear Waste Partnership LLC just $21,576 of the $8 million of potential performance incentives for the past fiscal year. The partnership manages the plant under a contract that pays more than $140
million annually. The leak occurred when a container packed with radioactive waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory ruptured in an underground storage area and contaminated more than 20 workers. The performance award for Nuclear Waste Partnership was announced one day after the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration docked the contractor that runs Los Alamos lab for its failures related to the radiation leak. The lab contractor received $6.25 million in incentives, just a fraction of the more than $63 million that was possible for the last fiscal year. Both contractors and the DOE are also facing $54 million in penalties levied by the New Mexico Environment Department, and state of ficials have said

more fines are possible as the investigation into the radiation leak continues. Recovery efforts at the nuclear repository did get a $104 million boost as part of a federal spending package signed by President Barack Obama in December. That was on top of the original request of $220 million for operations. Don Hancock of the watchdog group Southwest Information and Research Center said he’s frustrated that operational funding for the plant will continue even as waste disposal there has stopped. “The contractors are too big and too important to fail,” Hancock told the Santa Fe New Mexican. “The Department of Energy is so dependent on the contractors that the contractors always get of f without really getting

penalties. They’re able to underperform and still get rewarded.”
Hancock also said he doubts the plant will meet the first two deadlines in its recovery plan — the New Year’s Day target for closure of one of the storage bunkers af fected by the radiation leak and March recertification of the repository by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Officials at the repository did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the deadlines. However, a DOE spokesman said the performance pay announced for the contractor on Tuesday was preliminary, and the contractor could qualify for more incentive payments.

Snyder recognized several family members, friends and supporters at his afternoon swearing-in ceremony. Snyder presented former Sgt. Ray Campos with Campos’ former deputy badge. Campos, a former Chaves County sheriff’s deputy, was injured about 10 years ago when he was struck by a drunk driver, becoming pinned between two vehicles. Campos lost a leg and suffered other injuries. Snyder said Campos, who was unable to return to duty, made the ultimate sacrifice.

Duffey begins a second four -year term on the Chaves County Commission after defeating his Democrat challenger Eloy Ortega Jr. in November’s general election with 63 percent of the votes cast in the 11 precincts that comprise the commission’s District 1. The 1st District begins west of Roswell’s Main Street and extends to the county’s eastern borders. The Duffey-Ortega race was the only contested race for a Chaves County office in the 2014 general election. Duffey’s victory ensured Republicans of maintaining all five seats on the Chaves County Commission, as well as every other elected county office.

The request for Sons’ lease renewal was not on the agenda, so the renewal will be discussed at the Jan. 26 meeting and forwarded to the Feb. 12 City Council meeting. The committee also tabled the discussion of the lease renewal for WilliamsChesser Farm. Henderson suggested the committee research property values so the city can increase the lease rates. “We should have been discussing this in June or July,” Councilor and Committee Chairperson Jeanine Corn Best said. Henderson said there was a spreadsheet with the lease renewals listed, but since the city’s former administrative assistant left the spreadsheet was not being kept up with. “We dropped the ball,” Henderson said. The committee also discussed an offer to the city to purchase a property on North Main owned by Dr. Kenneth Leadingham, which is located near the Roswell Museum and Art Center, and a request to purchase land from the city by Elite Gymnastics.

Polasek suggested that the Roswell Chaves County Economic Development Corporation might be a better organization to purchase a piece of commercial property than the city. “We already own quite a bit of property,” Polasek said, “and I would hate to see a prime commercial location like this used for storage.” He noted that if the property were owned by the economic development organization, the property could be used as an incentive to bring business to town — and, more importantly, the economic development group can react quickly when needed. “Cities are not set up to move quickly,” Polasek said. Polasek suggested the committee respectfully decline the offer of the Leadingham property. The request by Elite Gymnastics to purchase land from the city was tabled until after the first of the year when the city officials plan on having an in-depth workshop to study the development of the city’s property on West College Boulevard.

OPINION
‘Continuation,’ not vision, seen from administration
If a vision for the state and the articulation of action for confronting our myriad deep structural problems appeared at the recent New Mexico Tax Research Institute legislative outlook conference, it slipped out the door faster than it entered. Ferreting out a vision will be further obstructed by the newest job performance report, which appeared three days after the TRI meeting. From November 2013 to November 2014, a seasonally unadjusted 14,700 new wage jobs appeared, a 1.7 percent increase that is the best in a long time. The growth is “close to the long ter m average,” Tom Clif ford, Department of Finance and Administration Secretary, said. I suspect that the happy news will divert the existing slight attention to matters such as our pathetic labor force participation, which is toward the top of the structural

problems. What, me worry? In another venue, the December Consensus Revenue Estimate, reality begins to intrude. The report cites UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research, which “points out that New Mexico is the only state that has experienced so weak a recovery and questions whether the state’s weak performance is a cyclical, temporary phenomenon or if it indicates a more troubling structural change in the state’s economic competitiveness.”
Roswell Daily Record
In fair ness, the annual TRI gathering makes no claims to be a vision thing. The agenda is technical, addressing taxes and economic matters. To summarize quickly, the Legislature’s basic job is to pass a budget. The Legislature starts with two recommendations, one from the Governor (the executive branch) and one from itself, prepared by the Legislative Finance Committee. The budget, in terms of appropriating money, covers one year, known as the budget or fiscal year, which is named for the year it ends. Legislative sessions, which start in January, alter nate between being 30 and 60 days long. The 2016 session starts January 21 and ends March 21. If the work remains undone in the allotted time, a special session may be called or the tasks just wait until the next year.
The specific limit on session length leads to the myth that New Mexico has a part-time legislature. That’s sort of true, but what with committee service between sessions and meetings about this and that, serving in the Legislature is more or less a full time job. How one manages legislative service with a full-time private sector day job and a family is beyond me. Being a member has a tendency to attract the independently wealthy, the retired, government employees such as teachers who get the time off and people who never sleep. Policy opinions aside, our legislators are an extraordinary bunch, mostly. Clifford anticipates “a continuation, by and large” of the Martinez administration’s plans and approaches. “There is adequate revenue to sustain the (spending) growth we’ve had” in certain
areas, such as education. Revenue coming into the general fund, the state’s main operating money pot, hit a record in the budget year ending June 30, finally breaking the pre-financial crisis amount. Clifford sees general fund growth of around 4 percent annually for the long term. The estimate for “new money” for FY16 is $141 million. The figure is the difference between FY15 estimated spending and FY16 revenue. The new money projection was $285 million in August. The revenue forecast is “going to change during the session,” Keith Gardner, Gov. Susana Martinez’s chief of staff, told the conference. Perspective on the changes comes from a Dec. 22 Wall Street Journal headline, “Texas and Energy: Lone Star State of Siege.”
EDITORIAL
Let the free market end addiction to oil
Here’s a paradox about environmentalists. They’re focused around the clock on making their worldview mainstream, but they don’t seem to understand what makes people tick. It’s not that most Americans disfavor a clean and flourishing natural world. It’s that most Americans don’t want to pursue that goal by any means necessary — especially when so many of the means turn out to be so costly, so dubious and so ripe for abuse. That’s why environmentalist policies have advanced slowly and modestly, and so often, from the top down. At the same time, a paradox has ensnared critics of environmentalism, too. Even though they have declared their support for a robust ecology, they have been a little stumped about how to achieve it without relying on blunt government instruments. George W. Bush famously captured something of the problem, when he declared us “addicted to oil.” OK, great; now what? Well, Americans who tilt pro-environment but anti-environmentalist might finally have the makings of an answer. It’s a solution that comes at a cost, but one most of us view as legitimate. Over the next 25 years, the free market itself might bring an end to the oil-based economy, and the controversial emissions it’s associated with. For one sign of the times, take a look at the price of a barrel of crude. It’s plummeting — so fast and so far that policymakers are now beginning to wonder whether the Keystone XL pipeline is even worth building. Now, American production is high — almost too high. We’ve won the game, only to discover that we can’t turn as much of a profit as we hoped. Oil prices are notoriously volatile. But with the Russian economy tanking, and the Mideast headed for very long-term instability, the world has the same powerful interest as we do in weaning ourselves off the goo. Step one, we’ve already accomplished — wean ourselves off of oil imports. Step two? That’s where our tech revolution comes in. Elon Musk is busy building the world’s biggest electric car battery factory. Google is making strides on their driverless robo-cars. These innovations will transform transportation faster than a speeding bullet train — which, in California’s instance, is under construction at a crawl. Markets are showing a way forward that everyone can embrace. But will environmentalists embrace it too? REPRINTED REGISTER

Ethanol policy reform: The rare place where environmentalists and energy advocates agree We all expect to pay a price for missing deadlines—but not the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For the past two years, the EPA has failed to meet the statutory deadline under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), requiring the agency to tell refiners how much ethanol to blend into the nation’s motor fuels. Yet, it can find the time to regulate and restructure the entire U.S. electricity generation and distribution system. In November 2013, the EPA did make an attempt to announce the proposed 2014 blend levels—which by then were already months past the legally mandated deadline. The EPA surprised and pleased the RFS opponents when it utilized its authority to adjust the mandate and took market conditions into consideration. The EPA set the

proposed 2014 standard to a level lower than 2013’s—even though the law requires increasing amounts. Ethanol producers, who were expecting the usual uptick, loudly opposed the reduction. They made so much noise, the EPA agreed to reconsider. To date, the 2014 standards have not yet been announced. Then, on November 21, 2014, the EPA announced it would make a decision next year (2015) on how much ethanol refiners had to add to gasoline this year (2014) — yet, if refiners don’t meet the unknown requirement, they get fined.
With the goal of a reduction in foreign oil imports, Congress enacted the RFS in 2005 and revised it in 2007 — which also provided incentives to America’s fledgling ethanol industry. At the time, gasoline demand was rising to an alltime high and oil imports comprised more than 58 percent of U.S. oil consumption. No doubt Congress believed it was saving American consumers from their addiction to oil. Then the world changed. The U.S. economy plunged into its worst recession ever, unemployment soared, and gasoline demand fell sharply. Meanwhile, advanced drilling technologies, including hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, began producing oil and natural gas from U.S. shale for mations — which were previously uneconomic to develop — leading to
America’s 21st Century energy boom. Today, the U.S. is the world’s largest natural-gas producer and is projected to pass Saudi Arabia as the No. 1 oil producer. With crude oil supplies flooding the market, prices have been cut in half. Although fears over foreign oil dependence have abated, the U.S. remains stuck with an ethanol mandate that is outdated, unworkable, and even harmful to vehicles, engines, and the environment. Examples of the RFS’ problems include a requirement to blend in a phantom fuel: cellulosic biofuel—which despite vast quantities of taxpayer dollars to develop the industry has never produced enough to meet the requirements. But that fact hasn’t prevented the EPA from levying millions of
toms and laboratory tests. • SCLERODERMA is an autoimmune disease that causes skin to thicken, tighten and look shiny. Some people have rheumat o i d- li k e a rt h r i t i s ; o t h e r s have a combination of arthritis and tightening of the tendons. People with scleroderma have certain antibodies in the blood that can be detected with a blood test. • SJOGREN’S SYNDROME is also an autoimmune disease. Immune system cells tend to attack the tear and saliva glands, causing dry eyes and dry mouth. The disease may also cause joint pain and swelling that mimics RA. The diagnosis is made based on symptoms and the results of several tests. • G O U T. T h i s f o r m o f arthritis develops after tiny crystals of uric acid accu-
mulate in joints, causing the joints to become swollen, red and very painful. It really hurts: I speak from experience as a doctor and a patient. Gout may be diagnosed by examining fluid from the joint under a microscope to see whether uric acid crystals are present. Blood tests may also be needed. • PSEUDOGOUT is similar to gout, but results from deposits of certain kinds of crystals (made of calcium pyrophosphate) in joints. Long-standing pseudogout can resemble RA. Joint fluid may be examined under a microscope to verify the presence of calcium crystals. Blood tests may also be needed. • OSTEOARTHRITIS. The joint pain of osteoarthritis can be similar to that
Diagnosing R.A. requires ruling out other diseases
DEAR DOCTOR K: My doctor suspects I have rheumatoid arthritis, but she wants to test me for several other disorders, including lupus and gout. Why? DEAR READER: Several other diseases can cause symptoms and joint changes that are similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including lupus and gout. That’s probably why your doctor is ordering the tests. She suspects you have RA, but she won’t know for sure unless she rules out these other diseases. RA is an autoimmune disease. The body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue, primarily the tissue lining the joints. This causes swelling, pain, redness and stif fness in the joints. RA can affect other tissues throughout the body as well. Accurately diagnosing RA, especially in the early

stages, can be dif ficult. A physical exam, your symptoms, blood tests and imaging tests can all help. But before finalizing the diagnosis, your doctor may want to rule out other possibilities, including: • LUPUS is an inflammatory autoimmune disease. Fever and joint pain are common early symptoms of lupus, just as they are for RA. The joints involved in lupus often are the same ones affected in RA. Lupus is diagnosed based on symp-

2014 a remarkable year RMAC LOCAL
Roswell Daily Record
Thursday, January 1, 2015

BY MICHAEL HALL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As the Executive Director of the Roswell Museum and Art Center, I have only been in place a little over half a year. However, I do feel qualified to present a yearend report for 2014. It has been a remarkable year. Overall Museum attendance in 2014 increased by six thousand people just since June. Membership levels increased over 31 percent over last year’s totals. The Planetarium under its new director, Marcus deThouars, has a very ambitious lineup of quality shows. Since reopening, the Planetarium has brought over 3,000 people through its doors. More importantly than the numbers are the faces behind the totals. A much more diverse audience is now being served by the Museum. Programs reach more Hispanics, events reach more local families, and exhibits reach more
audiences in general. We owe great thanks to the RMAC Foundation for their support and fundraising and the City of Roswell for the opportunity to serve this community as a municipal museum. Our Curator of Collections and Exhibits, Sara Woodbury, has overseen some brilliant RMAC gallery exhibits this year as well as numerous loans of works to prestigious art museums around the country. Sara has also coordinated with representatives from the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Foundation to continue a productive partnership in numerous exhibits in the Marshall and Winston Gallery. Attendance for the exhibits has soared as select galleries offer more seasonal and special interest appeal. Giving greater attention to electronic media sources and daily web page updates by our new Curator of Education, Claudia I. Gonzalez, has
significantly helped us promote our museum’s activities. The RMAC is truly an attraction not just for local residents but also for families from all over the state and region. Illustrative of this, the RMAC hosted a New Mexico Tourism Department press conference this summer held by Governor Susan Martinez. The governor complimented the RMAC, after an hourlong tour of the Museum, for being a vital resource, assisting New Mexico’s increasing tourism growth for a third consecutive year. Our Membership and Events Coordinator, Olga McGuire, has not only taken memberships sky high but has completed some very successful events starting with the Alien Costume Contest in July. That event brought significant numbers of visitors to Roswell. Olga’s Fall Block Party served many local families and compared to an attendance of 1,200 in 2013, Olga
brought 2,400 people into this year’s event. Olga also planned and organized a well-received Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and welcomed over 400 local citizens to our Open House the night of the Light Parade. Being a municipal museum, this is exactly what the City wants — to serve greater numbers. I have personally devoted a great deal of my own attention to education because this is the area of the museum operation I have the most experience and passion for. Our new Curator of Education, Claudia Gonzalez, has provided tremendous new initiatives. Claudia has taken the RMAC movie series from serving a small handful of people to making it an engaging, creative and educational experience for families participating and enjoying the museum as a family unit. Our last movie, the Polar Express, had an attendance of 136. October and November movie atten-
dance exceeded 260. These three months of attendance figures alone exceeds the yearly average figures for RMAC movies going all the way back to 2004. Many of these people were new to the museum, and represented groups not previously served. These people were engaged with a quality experience and I am extremely proud of what I saw this past movie premier for the Polar Express. Claudia is coordinating with Eastern New Mexico University film classes to bring a few Saturday afternoon film classics in as well with a lecture following the films. Class attendance is also up. The paid classes have good attendance and we have many excellent instructors including some eager new ones and we are adding a music component this quarter which has been well received. Under Claudia, senior and returning veteran art instructors have received a raise. For
the first time in the history of the Museum we are offering art classes for families with Autistic Children in partnership with the New Mexico Autism Society. Also for the first time in the history of this museum, we will be offering a mentoring program for high schoolers seeking a career in the art world. We have retur ned the Gratton Endowment workshop that of fers a weekend art instruction for adults studying under a premier New Mexico artist, with scholarships for those who are not usually in a position to take advantage of such an opportunity. Private school tours are up. We are bypassing the seasonal public school restriction on field trips by making trips to the museum by high school children a class activity as opposed to a “fieldtrip.” I feel 2014 has been a good year for the RMAC.
Q. I have an old shade tree in my backyard. That tree holds a lot of memories for me. When I was young I climbed that tree and ate picnics in its shade. I think my father had the same experiences with that tree, but I never asked him when I had the chance. I inherited the house and tree and my children have also played under that majestic old tree and now their children play in its shade when they visit. The tree is ancient, but now it is not looking good. The past few years have not been kind to it. Some branches have begun falling and that worries me. I really do not
want to cut it down, but think that will be necessary. Can you suggest any options? A. It is unfortunate, but trees do not have unlimited life spans. They grow old and die just as we do. It is true that some individuals in some species of trees may live for thousands of years, some for hundreds of years, but landscape shade trees rarely live that long. You tree sounds like one that has exceeded the life span for most landscape trees. However, as you have described, as they reach old age, they begin dying back and their falling branches can become
hazardous. Your first consideration should be safety for your grandchildren who play under the tree. A qualified tree care professional can perhaps extend the life of the tree and reduce the hazards it poses. Many tree care professionals will provide free estimates and descriptions of what they will do for your tree and give a prognosis for its continued growth. An arborist certified by the International Society of Arborists has studied tree care and passed tests regarding proper tree care, so if possible, contact such an arborist. If the arborist can reduce
the hazard and allow the tree to remain for several years, you can begin under planting with new trees that will ultimately replace the ancient tree. These should be planted outside the extent of the existing tree in locations where they have adequate room for root and top growth, but where they will provide shade where needed. When the new trees are established, or when the old tree can no longer be made safe, there are several ways to extend its usefulness and prolong memories. The tree may be cut down leaving a tall stump which can become a pedestal for a pic-
nic table. The picnics of memories can continue at this old tree. Or, if you prefer, the branches may be trimmed back to strong locations and these branches used as scaffolds to hold a hanging basket garden. The baskets of flowering plants can give the appearance of continued life for the tree. Vines may be allowed to grow up the trunk and out the branches to enhance the appearance of continued life. The vines will provide a degree if increased safety as they can help hold branches that do break so that they do not fall catastrophically, or at lease slow their fall.
The degree to which the tree should be cut back and the chances that it will serve for many years in a new capacity depends on the type of tree. An old cottonwood or willow tree will not remain as long and branches should be cut back more to reduce risk of falling branches. Old pecan, oak, walnut, and similar trees will resist decay longer. May this tree give you and your family many more years of happy memories.
Environmental Working Group, an environmental group that opposes the mandate as it is now structured: “Cor n ethanol’s brand has been seriously dented in the last 18 months. …it certainly doesn’t occupy the same pedestal that it occupied two years ago.” But then, despite the fact that the EPA says decisions are made on merits, politics entered the scene. Rumors flew that the announcement of the 2014 blend levels was delayed to help Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-D) in his Senate bid. Braley was pushing for an increase in the proposed levels and was hop-
ing that he would be able to influence the White House to raise the targets. Additionally, a Republican-controlled Senate would be more likely to pass legislation to reform or repeal the RFS. Braley was quoted in Politico saying: “Voters in Iowa look at where I stand on this issue and where my opponent stands, who’s supporting me in this campaign and who’s supporting [Ernst].” The Politico story states: “Iowans say wavering on corn ethanol once would have been certain political suicide in a state where 90 percent of the land is farm acreage. So Braley sought to capi-

dollars in fines against refiners for failing to use it. Another is due to ethanol’s corrosive properties. Automakers are voiding warranties and refusing to be held responsible for mechanical problems caused by fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol. And the marine industry warns of potential engine failures on various types of watercraft powered by the industry’s most common engines. And that’s not all. Ethanol contains less
energy than gasoline, forcing motorists to fill up more often, thereby causing more consumer expenditures and taxes to government. Ethanol production has driven up food prices here and abroad. Additionally, some studies indicate ethanol usage increases greenhouse gas emissions. Politico reports: “Some green groups have vocally abandoned their support for corn ethanol, blaming the crop for polluting water supplies, wiping out conservation land and even increasing carbon emissions.” According to Craig Cox, director of the Ames, Iowa, office of the
Hotel hopes guests head home with a rescue dog LOS ANGELES (AP) — At this hotel, guests get welcomed with a wagging tail or a warm lick to the face. A dog will bound out from behind the registration desk, clad in an “Adopt Me” vest, as visitors arrive at the Aloft hotel in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, believed to be the only hotel in the U.S. where guests can adopt the dog that greets them when they check in.

Hotel and rescue workers hope the program not only becomes permanent but spreads to some of the chain’s other locations, too. The Asheville hotel, which also allows guests’ pets to

On top of the usual problems with ethanol, the EPA’s unwillingness to do its job by setting blending level volumes—along with ethanol’s loss of political clout—should provide the impetus for ending the complex and wasteful RFS program. Ethanol is a rare topic where environmentalists and energy advocates
agree. Now is the time to get our elected officials on board with their constituents. As soon as the Congress convenes in January, it should get to work and reform, revise, or even repeal the RPS.

But before leaping to that diagnosis, a doctor should do the testing required to look for other causes of your joint symptoms — just as your doctor is doing.

Teen birth rates down, health dept. reports
There’s been a significant one-year drop in the state’s birth rates for teens, according to the New Mexico Department of Health’s Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics 2013 vital records in a news release. The data show a 10 percent drop over one year, 2012 to 2013, in the state’s birth rates for both 15-17 and 18, 19-year-old teens. The decline is the latest in what has been a substantial decrease in teen birth rates in New Mexico in the past 15 years, according to the Health Department. Birth rates for teens between the ages of 15 to 17 years old have fallen 56 percent since 1998. Birth rates for teens 18-19 years of age have also fallen 36 percent from a rate of 108.8 to 69.3 per 1,000 females in that age group. Despite the latest yearto-year decrease, the New Mexico teen birth rates continue to be above the national rates in each teen age group. According to a 2012 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report (the most recent data available), New Mexico has the highest birth rates for teenagers, ages 15-19, in the nation. — Hidalgo County Herald
Councilor resigns six months after altercation
— Six ESPANOLA months after he allegedly pistol-whipped a man during an altercation, City Councilor Eric Radosevich decided to relinquish his governing body seat. Mayor Alice Lucero notified city officials of Radosevich’s resignation via a Dec. 18 email. “Be advised that Eric Radosevich had resigned from his position on the City Council effective, Friday, December 19, 2014,” Lucero’s email states. “Keep him and his family in prayer during this Holy Season.” Lucero said Radosevich did not send a formal letter of resignation to her. She said he either told her he’s leaving his seat through an email or a text message. He did not give her a specific reason for his resignation, Lucero said. “I can understand and I respect his decision,” she said. Radosevich’s resignation came after Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested him June 25, on a warrant charging aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, following the alleged June 21 altercation. He allegedly pistolwhipped a man who was allegedly trying to flee an altercation with Radosevich and his passengers. Radosevich then allegedly shot twice at the victim’s truck. On Nov. 17, District Court Judge T. Glenn Ellington rejected a plea deal that would have allowed Radosevich to plead no contest to a fourth-degree felony and receive an 18-month suspended sentence and a conditional discharge. This means the charge would have been dismissed at the end of an 18-month supervised probation period. — Rio Grande Sun, Española
Southern New Mexican named to Northern post
ESPANOLA — Outgoing Northern New Mexico College regents’ terms have not yet expired, but Gov. Susana Martinez has already found a replacement for one of them. The governor announced the appointment of Damian Martinez to Norther n’s Board of Regents to replace either Michael Branch or Alfred Herrera. Damian Martinez will serve a six-
year ter m on the board. A Las Cruces resident, Martinez serves as an attorney and is a veteran of the Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps, the legal arm of the United States Air Force. He is also managing director of Las Cruces law fir m Holt, Mynatt, Martinez P.C. Originally from Las Vegas, N.M., Martinez got his bachelor’s degree in social work from New Mexico Highlands University in 1998. He then got his juris doctor degree from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio in 2001. Martinez, 42, is married and has two children, who also live in Las Cruces. Although he said he does not plan to move north for the job, he does not believe the distance will interfere with his new position. “I plan to be in Española for any function that requires me to be here,” he said. “I don’t foresee it as being an issue. I just don’t think the regent position requires somebody to live in the area. It’s a position that can be attended to while living outside of town.” — Rio Grande Sun, Española
Officials hoping for cross-county arrangement
ESPANOLA — Rio Arriba County and Española leaders are hoping to establish a dialogue with of ficials from Santa Fe County to ensure citizens receive prompt service when they call 911. Española/Rio Arriba County E-911 Director Marti Griego said she is hoping to work an arrangement with Santa Fe County officials that will allow her staff to page calls to the Chimayó Volunteer Fire Department. As it stands, when a call comes in for the Chimayó area, it is rerouted to the Santa Fe Regional Emergency Communication Center before help is dispatched. “We are transferring the calls to Santa Fe County, but we are limited because we don’t page out Chimayó,” Griego said. “If we can page out Chimayó, it would be much smoother. We need to work together because we are intertwined, not for stats, it’s for the health and safety and welfare of the citizens.” Griego said recently, the communication breakdown has resulted in residents not receiving help in critical times of need. She points to an instance where one family lost their garage and part of their home and another woman was trapped in her car during flooding, as a need to revamp the current system. In both of those cases, 911 was called, but Española dispatchers had to reroute the call, which slowed down response times. Griego said the bottom line is the areas in question are closer to Rio Arriba County and Española emergency services, so it makes sense to page those services first. — Rio Grande Sun, Española
County struggles to come up with comp pay
ESPANOLA —Up until recently, Rio Arriba County Detention Center guards
the expansion, including worries that it will increase pollution, affect property values in the surrounding area, lead to an increased military presence in Taos, and worsen the economic gap between the wealthy and poor. Vigil’s approval means the town can technically break ground on the project now. Town manager Rick Bellis could not be immediately reached about when construction would begin. — The Taos News received a hefty check twice a year that covered the mandatory overtime they work to accommodate the jail’s staffing needs. County Manager Tomas Campos confir med an anonymous tip regarding the county’s difficulty coming up with the funds to pay jail workers for the comp time they worked the last six months. He said staffing shortages and an inmate giving birth while in custody led to the financial uncertainty. “Having the pregnant lady give birth while in custody just depleted the Detention Center’s budget,” Campos said. Besides paying the undisclosed hospital and medical transport bills, the county also accrued nearly $40,000 in expenses paying a private security firm to guard the unnamed woman and several other prisoners, while at the hospital. — Rio Grande Sun, Española
Eight adults, three juveniles arrested
FOR T SUMNER — Procurement and sale of drugs and alcohol to minors has led to the arrest of eight adults and three juveniles in separate incidents following investigations by the New Mexico State Police in De Baca and Curry counties. One of the 16-year -old juveniles arrested in the two-month investigation is accused in at least three separate incidents. Other juveniles could face charges in connection with the cases. According to Magistrate Court documents, two Fort Sumner High School students, ages 16 and 17, were involved in a Nov. 11 incident that involved the illegal purchase of alcohol in Clovis, as well as the purchase of methamphetamine. The 16-year-old become unresponsive in a vehicle returned to Fort Sumner and emergency personnel were called. The juvenile was subsequently transported by ambulance to Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis for treatment of a drug and alcohol overdose. — De Baca County News
Airport permit finally gets county approval
TAOS — The expansion of the Taos Regional Airport is cleared for take off. Acting Taos County Planning Director Edward Vigil approved the town’s permit application Dec. 23 for a $24 million project that includes construction of a second runway at the facility northwest of town. The controversial project has been the source of heated debate in the community in recent months, but the battle over whether the expansion is needed or wanted goes back decades. Supporters of the expansion say the second runway will improve safety at the airport and encourage investment and economic development in Taos. Nearly all costs of the project are being covered by the state and federal governments. The airport is owned and operated by the town of Taos. Detractors have made various arguments against
Nearly bust, nonprofit points fingers at state
TAOS — There were a lot of questions during a Dec. 18 staf f meeting at T riCounty Community Services, but board members conceded they did not have many good answers. The nonprofit provider of mental health and substance abuse treatment services has been teetering on the brink of financial collapse, with payroll uncertain and medical insurance for employees having lapsed. How much longer Tri-County can keep its doors open remains unclear. Some staff members have left and, as one employee said during the Dec. 18 meeting, virtually all are looking for new jobs. Board member Larry Mapes told staff the board is discussing whether another organization could take over the nonprofit, which serves more than 1,500 Taos area residents as well as approximately 285 clients through an office in Ratón and another 60 through an of fice in Clayton. Administrators, meanwhile, have reportedly been pleading with state officials for financial support or at least some of the more than $400,000 purportedly owed by health insurance companies that cover their clients through New Mexico’s revamped Medicaid program. “The problem is not with Tri-County per se but with how Tri-County is paid,” Mapes told The Taos News on Dec. 23. The organization has relied on insurance carriers or state programs such as Medicaid paying for the services it provides patients but, as those payments have purportedly fallen through, T ri-County is struggling with limited reserves. — The Taos News
Blizzard team to leave for new home in Kansas
TAOS — After two seasons in Taos, the independent Taos Blizzard will be moving to Garden City, Kansas, for the 2015 Pecos League baseball season. League owner Andrew Dunn told The Taos News that an inability to line up discounted hotel rooms for next season’s spring training in Taos for the Blizzard and Santa Fe Fuego was the final straw. Last spring, the two teams brought in about 60 players to try out for the regular season. “We were happy in Taos and all we wanted to do was break even,” said Dunn, who didn’t rule out returning to Taos in 2016. “I’m disappointed in myself, but the bottom line was if you can’t host spring training in your town, then how can you host a regular team?” The Pecos League is one of eight independent professional baseball leagues in the country. Teams are not af filiated with any major league team and are stocked with under -25 players who look to catch the eye of a major -league organization by their performances in an independent league. Last season, the first former Pecos League player played in the big leagues, and two players from 2014 Pecos League team rosters inked major-
Roswell Daily Record league contracts after the season. The Pecos League will now field two five-team divisions. The Norther n Division will feature Garden City Wind, T rinidad (Colorado) Triggers, Santa Fe Fuego and Las Vegas Train Robbers. The Souther n Division will have Alpine (Texas) Cowboys, White Sands Pupfish, Las Cruces Vaqueros and Roswell Invaders. Teams from Raton, Douglas (Arizona) and Bisbee (Arizona) were dropped right after the season. “I just don’t think we ever turned the corner in Taos,” Dunn said. “There was a good number of faithful fans here but not enough community support.” — The Taos News
Wilderness status won’t mean big changes
TAOS — The Columbine/ Hondo is officially a wilderness. President Barack Obama signed legislation on Dec. 19 that included designation of 45,000 acres north of Taos as wilderness area. The Columbine/Hondo language was part of a massive public lands package tied to an even larger defense spending bill that breezed through Congress this month. The final step at the president’s desk marked a victory for a coalition of local wilderness supporters who’ve pushed for permanent protection of the area. Supporters cite a diversity of wildlife, stunning landscapes and vital headwaters as reasons for preserving the area from future development. Achieving wilderness status will put in stone protections that have, at least on paper, been in place since the Columbine/Hondo became a Wilderness Study Area in 1980. According to local Forest Service officials, the formal designation won’t change much on the ground. “For the general public, there shouldn’t be much of a change,” said Ricardo Martínez, acting district ranger for the Questa Ranger District, in an interview Dec. 22. “There won’t be a palpable change for most people.” Members of the wilderness coalition have said a for mal designation was needed to ensure there would be no development in the area that could threaten the wilder ness characteristics. As a Wilderness Study Area, the Columbine/Hondo was not totally safe, they argued. — The Taos News
Child-care facility having to cut its services
SANTA ROSA — Supporters have launched an 11thhour rally in hopes of preventing Santa Rosa’s only large child-care facility from becoming a victim of the city’s labor shortage. Many local parents were stunned recently when they received letters announcing that Tomorrow’s Hope Day Care Center plans severe cutbacks in the New Year, shrinking the schedule to two days per week and reducing the number of children served. The reason: Managers say they’re unable to recruit and retain enough qualified workers, and the loss of three employees over the last month was the final straw. “It was an awful decision to make,” said Melissa Lamb, a board member for the nonprofit facility, which shares space at the First Baptist Church. “It was not our first choice at all. But after months and months of having to pull in extra workers from random locations, we didn’t think we had a choice.” — The Communicator, Santa Rosa
Economic development effort may get building
SANTA ROSA — The countywide economic development effort is about to get a Christmas gift valued at $412,074, prime real estate on Historic Route 66 that once was home to a KFC/Long John Silver’s outlet.
Two real estate trusts that now own the vacant fast-food joint plan to donate the site to the City of Santa Rosa, which will hold the deed until it can be turned over to a planned economic development corporation.
The eventual use — whether the building is leased-out, re-sold or used in some other way — won’t be decided until the not-for -profit corporation is established, with a board that’s expected to include representatives of the City of Santa Rosa, Guadalupe County and Santa Rosa Consolidated Schools.
In theory, the site would help generate revenue to support the economic development corporation’s larger mission, which is to assist in turning around the area’s still-sagging economy.
The contribution was scheduled to be discussed at a special meeting of the Santa Rosa City Council on Dec. 30.

Back to drawing board for solid waste authority
EDGEWOOD — It’s back to the drawing board f o r t h e E s t a n c i a Va l l e y S o l i d Wa s t e A u t h o r i t y , which is seeking to add two new members to its current seven.
Two weeks ago the Moriarty City Council passed a version of the joint powers agreement, which creates the Solid Waste Authority, which would restructure its board and make other major changes, if approved by all of the members.
All members of the S o l i d Wa s t e A u t h o r i t y must pass the exact same version of the joint powers agreement in order to change it; otherwise the current JPA remains in effect.
The Solid Waste Authority wants to add two new members in part for the additional environmental services gross receipts tax they would generate, as ongoing revenue. It already takes garbage from both Santa Rosa and Guadalupe County, as customers, not members.
According to reporting b y T h e C o m m u n i c a t o r, the City of Santa Rosa is now looking at other options, and Guadalupe County may want to take a look at how its buy-in figure of $120,000 was reached, seeking to tie the number to tonnages sent to the landfill rather than environmental gross receipts taxes.

ENMMC Senior Circle members have Spirit!
Roswell Daily Record
The Eastern New Mexico Medical Center chapter of Senior Circle has 4,000 members and what great members they are!
Thursday, January 1, 2015
Since Senior Circle is sponsored by the hospital, there are benefits at the hospital such as a free upgrade to a private room if one is available and a daily free meal for the spouse or caregiver. And one of the most popular features is the Senior Circle discount list of about 150 businesses in town. Most of the discounts are unique to Senior Circle members.
“With so many members, we couldn’t manage without our volunteers,” said Marifrank DaHarb, Senior Circle director. “We have several who devote a half day a week doing whatever needs to be done—answering the phone, helping walk-ins, doing mailings,” she said. “But we also have volunteers for special things such as staffing tables at health fairs and labeling our newsletters for mailing!”
DaHarb said membership in Senior Circle is just $15 a year or $27 for two people in the same household. “We’re nonprofit, so with the hospital’s support, all our activities at the facility are free,” DaHarb said. “Of course, meals out and trips are paid by members.”

2015 begins: Shanghai tragedy, fireworks elsewhere THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Revelers converged on the beaches of Brazil, the skyscrapers of Dubai and New York’s Times Square to say good riddance to a turbulent 2014 marred by terror woes, Ebola outbreaks and a horrific series of airline disasters. But tragedy struck in Shanghai, Baghdad was on edge and protesters in the United States planned a sobering reminder of one of the year’s biggest stories. A look around the world:
STAMPEDE IN SHANGHAI
Thirty-five people were killed in a stampede during New Year’s celebrations in downtown Shanghai, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency reported. The deaths — the worst disaster to hit one of China’s biggest cities in years — occurred at Shanghai’s popular river front Bund area, which can be jammed with spectators for major events. The report early Thursday cites the Shanghai government in saying that another 42 people were injured. Last week, the Englishlanguage Shanghai Daily reported that the annual New Year’s Eve countdown on the Bund that normally attracts about 300,000 people had been cancelled, apparently because of crowd control issues. The

report said a “toned-down” version of the event would be held instead but that it would not be open to the public.
BREAKING A RECORD IN DUBAI
The Gulf Arab emirate of Dubai was aiming to break the world record for the largest LED-illuminated facade with its spectacular display centered on the world’s tallest building. Some 70,000 LED panels around the 2,722-foot Burj Khalifa flashed colored lights and projected images of the country’s leaders when clocks there struck midnight as a massive fireworks display erupted. The celebration draws throngs of thousands of spectators every New Year’s Eve. Emaar Properties said a team from Guinness World Records monitored the preparations. Last year, Dubai won the title for the world’s largest firework display, according to Guinness.
TRYING TO CELEBRATE IN BAGHDAD
In Iraq’s war-scarred capital, Baghdad authorities ordered a one-off lifting of the overnight curfew in force for more than a decade to allow the city’s
revelers to stay out late on the streets. T raffic was unusually heavy starting shortly after sunset and authorities closed commercial streets to vehicles in the city’s center as a precaution against possible suicide bombings by militants of the Islamic State terror group.
HOPE IN HAVANA
Across the capital of Havana on Wednesday, people were roasting pigs for their traditional New Year’s Eve family dinners, often using a pit dug in the backyard. While contemplating the new year, they wonder about the nation’s future after a recently announced U.S.-Cuba detente. “If relations between Cuba and the United States change, it will bring many years of joy,” Javier Ramos as he roasted the pig for his family feast. If not, he added, Cubans will still figure out a way to be happy.
WASTING AWAY IN BVI
Thousands of partiers arrived on speedboats, yachts and ferries to dance the night away on the tiny Caribbean island of Jost Van Dyke that has long hosted one of the r egion’s biggest, most uninhibited New Year’s Eve bashes. In the British Virgin Islands, Jost Van Dyke balloons from about 300 full-time r esidents to roughly 5,000 people each New Year’s Eve as throngs of barefoot, tipsy people groove to reggae bands on white sands and hop from bar to bar. The annual tradition started in the 1960s on the idyllic island — so small it didn’t get electricity until 1992. “Every year it just gets bigger and bigger. People from all over travel here to get drunk, fall down and just have as much fun as they can,” said Tessa Callwood, who runs a worldfamous beach bar with her
husband, Foxy’s Tamarind Bar & Restaurant.
WATCHING THE BALL — OR WHATEVER — DROP
Eager revelers arrived hours early for a prime spot at New York’s Times Square, where a Waterford crystal ball will drop at midnight. It’s a tradition that’s being increasingly copied across the United States with twists celebrating local icons. Among the items being dropped: a big chili in Las Cruces; a replica peach in Atlanta; a musical note in Nashville, Tennessee; a large pine cone in Flagstaf f, Arizona; an oversized spurred cowboy boot in Prescott, Arizona; a 600-pound walleye made of wood and fiberglass in Port Clinton, Ohio; an 80pound wedge of cheese in Plymouth, Wisconsin; and in Escanaba, in Michi-
gan’s Upper Peninsula, a r eplica of a pasty (pr onounced PAS’-tee) — a baked pastry filled with meat and potatoes.
AT THE COPA ... COPACABANA
More than 1 million people are expected to flock to the golden sands of Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach, where two dozen artists and DJs will perfor m on three stages. Tourists and locals routinely party until dawn on the beach, staying awake to watch the tropical sun rise for the first time in 2015. A massive fireworks display that’s blasted from boats on the Atlantic Ocean will light the sky over the crowd, which traditionally dresses in all white, a Brazilian tradition to bring purification and a peaceful year. Another tradition calls for partygoers to enter the sea up to their knees and jump over seven waves shortly after the New Year begins, for luck.

Girls defeat GHS for 3rd title in a row BY JEFF JACKSON RECORD STAFF WRITER

the Goddard High Holiday Classic. De La Cerda scored a game-high 22 points and earned most valuable player honors of the tournament. Pressure defense early in the game that started early — 10:30 a.m. — keyed Roswell to the title, said RHS coach Joe Carpenter, whose Coyotes beat the Rockets in the tournament final a second consecutive year. “After the initial two, three, four minutes of the game we were able to get into our press. We had the
ability to start stroking it and getting into a rhythm and that’s what happened,” Carpenter said. “We got a few tur novers there and that opened the floodgates for ourselves. I was pleased with that as a coach.” De La Cerda fueled a 71⁄2minute run for the Coyotes when they dominated the Rockets 22-0, starting with five minutes left in the first quarter to the 5:30 mark of the second. She led that sequence with eight points, while Alexis Angeles scored seven as well. Though the Coyotes were
held to only one shot for most of that time, so were the Rockets and few of theirs fell in. “I thought they did a good job on the boards,” Carpenter said of the Rockets’ effort. “They were doing as good a job as us and limiting us to one shot. We were limiting them to one shot. We just got a few more tur novers through our press and our pressure defense.” Roswell’s top offensive player for the season, low post Gali Sanchez, matched up against Goddard’s Baylee Robinson and was

held to six points, while Robinson had just four herself. As such, De La Cerda picked up the slack along with Angeles at 14 points and Georgia Lynn Eldridge and Priscilla Lucero scoring 11 apiece. “They didn’t hit their shots as well as we did. Gali probably didn’t have a great game because Baylee is altering her shot and vice-versa,” Carpenter said. For Goddard, which fell to 8-5, Wednesday’s loss was a learning experience for first-year coach Jared Neighbors and his Rockets.
“They execute well and they definitely showed us the things we got to work on the next month to get ready for district, and that’s what we wanted,” Neighbors said. “I know there’s a rivalry here and those are always fun but we were treating it just for lear ning and we know they’re No. 2 in the state. They’re that for a reason. They’re very good. It just kinda set the bar for us to know where we’re sitting.” See COYOTES, Page B3

ASSOCIATED PRESS GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jay Ajayi ran for 134 yards and three touchdowns and No. 21 Boise State made a late defensive stand to hold off No. 12 Arizona 38-30 in the Fiesta Bowl on Wednesday. Boise State (12-2) raced to a 21-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes behind a string of big plays before allowing Arizona to claw its way back. The Wildcats marched quickly down the field in the closing seconds, but Kamalei Correa sacked Anu Solomon at the 10 on the final play. Grant Hedrick threw for 309 yards and a touchdown, helping the Broncos cap a successful first season under coach Bryan Harsin with their third Fiesta Bowl victory. Arizona (10-4) fell flat in the Pac-12 Championship against Oregon in its previous game and labored early against the Broncos. The Wildcats rallied, but had trouble finishing drives, settling for three field goals after driving deep into Boise State’s end. Solomon threw for 335 yards and a touchdown, but had two interceptions that led to touchdowns for Boise State. Of all the non-playof f bowls, the Fiesta had one of the most intriguing matchups. Boise State made a name for itself at the Fiesta Bowl, trick-playing its way past
Oklahoma in 2007 and knocking of f previously unbeaten TCU to finish 140 in 2010. The Broncos made their way back to the desert by winning eight straight games under Harsin, who replaced Chris Petersen after he left for Washington. Arizona won bowl games its first two seasons under Rich Rodriguez and took a big step this season, winning the Pac-12 South Division to earn a spot in an upper-tier bowl for the first time since the 1994 Fiesta Bowl. Adding to the intrigue, the Broncos and Wildcats have two of the nation’s most prolific offenses, setting up what was expected to be a wild game. It certainly lived up to the billing at the start. The big-play Broncos burst out of the gate with long touchdowns on their first two drives: a 56-yard touchdown run by Ajayi and a 57-yard TD hookup between Hedrick and Chaz Anderson. No Fiesta Bowl with Boise State would be complete without a Statue of Liberty play, so the Broncos did that, too. It came much earlier than usual, but was just as damaging. Ajayi scored on it, running left and stiff-arming Arizona cornerback Cam Denson to the ground for a 16-yard touchdown that left two Arizona players injured.

BY RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — For years, college football fans pleaded for a playoff. Now it’s here and it starts at the sport’s most hallowed venue, with two Heisman Trophy winners and the defending national champions. Welcome to the College Football Playoff at the Rose Bowl, where the past and present intersect to usher in a new era. Marcus Mariota and second-seeded Oregon (12-1) face Jameis Winston and third-seeded Florida State (13-0) on Thursday in the first national semifinal ever played at college football’s highest level. Ducks coach Mark Helfrich and Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher held their final news conferences Wednesday at a downtown Los Angeles hotel. They posed for pictures with the Rose Bowl trophy, shook hands and went their separate ways. “We’re looking forward to the challenge,” Fisher said. “We know it’s a heck of a challenge. They’ve got a great team. We’ve got a great team. It ought to be fun.” Next stop, Pasadena. But it’s not the last stop. The winner gets a trip to Texas to play either Alabama or Ohio State on Jan. 12 for the national championship. The Seminoles bring in a 29-game winning streak and last year’s Heisman winner, Winston, into its second straight trip to the Rose Bowl. Florida State won national championship there last season, beating Auburn 3431 in the last BCS title game. The Ducks are led by this year’s Heisman winner, Mariota, and are in search of their first national championship. Oregon is a relative newcomer among college football powerhous-

The only thing left for the Ducks to confirm their status as a member of the nation’s elite is a national title. “It would validate things externally a lot more than I think internally,” Helfrich said. When we last saw Oregon playing, the Ducks played their best game of the season, winning the Pac-12 championship with a 51-13 beating of Arizona. Mariota had all but locked up the Heisman T rophy by then, but he added an exclamation point against the Wildcats and ended up being a landslide winner. The Hawaii native
has accounted for 53 touchdowns (38 passing, 14 rushing and one receiving) and is the top-rated passer in the country. “I think he’s been an amazing guy and amazing player,” Winston said. Here’s what to watch for when Oregon and Florida State play for the first College Football Playoff game.

NHL Winter Classic
day in sports This Jan. 1
NHL has capital feeling

The Capitals face off against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Winter Classic outdoor hockey game on New Year's Day.
BY JOSEPH WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — For the first time, the Winter Classic is sharing New Year’s Day with college football games that actually have something to do with the national championship. Watch outdoor hockey in the afternoon and then go out for dinner? Or plan your day so that you’re home in time for the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl in the evening? Brooks Laich thinks it should be a slam-dunk decision. “This is one of my favorite catchphrases to use of all time: ‘Who cares? It’s college,”’ the Washington Capitals defenseman
said. “I hope the rest of America has the same mindset I do.” The NHL’s annual showcase has been able to establish a beachhead on Jan. 1 in part because college football essentially abandoned what used to be its biggest day, populating it with run-of-the-mill bowl games and saving the big ones for later. This year, they’re trying to take it back, with the College Football Playoff semifinals highlighting the schedule. Then again, there might be room for both. Now in its seventh year, the Classic has established enough of a presence to withstand a bit of competition. “I’m a football fan like
most people in this country,” Washington coach Barry Trotz said. “I think there’s a lot of football and it’s great, but you also get tired of it, too, and I think the Winter Classic is that one thing that’s different during this time of year that I think everybody gravitates to.” It would help if the games don’t go head-tohead. That’s the plan, but the big ol’ sun might mess it up. The 11 a.m. start (MST) between the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals at Nationals Park is in jeopardy because brilliant, cloudless skies are in the forecast. The sun would create a potentially danger-
ous glare, making the puck hard to see and causing the ice to get too soft. If faceoff is moved to, say, 3 p.m. — after the shadows from the stands have covered the rink — then the end of the game could conflict with the early minutes of the Rose Bowl. A decision isn’t expected until shortly before the scheduled game time. There’s talk of switching sides halfway through the first period so that the glare would hamper both teams equally, and some players say they might emulate Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner, who wore sunglasses during Wednesday’s practice.

In elements way more suited for football than hockey, Crosby wins the NHL’s second outdoor game — and first in the United States — at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home to the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. 2008 — Southern California beats Illinois 49-17 in the Rose Bowl. The blowout gives the Trojans 11 wins for an unprecedented sixth straight season and makes them 5-1 in their last six bowl games, all of them BCS affairs. 2009 — The Detroit Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-4 in the cold at Wrigley Field in the NHL’s Winter Classic before a crowd of 40,818. 2009 — Southern California beats Penn State 38-24 to become the first team to win three consecutive Rose Bowls.2010 — Florida State scores 20 straight points to knock off West Virginia 33-21 in the Gator Bowl. It’s the final game of Bobby Bowden’s storied 44-year career as a head coach. Bowden finishes with a 389-129-4 record and a 33rd consecutive winning season. 2010 — Tim Tebow passes for a career-high 482 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 51 yards and another score, as fifth-ranked Florida overwhelms No. 4 Cincinnati 51-24 in the Sugar Bowl. Tebow finishes with 533 total yards — more than anyone in Bowl Championship Series history. 2010 — Boston’s Marco Sturm caps a late comeback with an overtime goal, leading the Bruins past Philadelphia 2-1 in the Winter Classic, the first NHL game at Fenway Park. 2011 — San Antonio win its fourth in a row 101-74, handing Oklahoma City its most lopsided loss of the season. The Spurs improve to 29-4 — one of the 10 best starts in NBA history. 2012 — Drew Brees passes for 389 yards and five touchdowns, and New Orleans sets a slew of NFL and club records in a 45-17 rout of the Carolina Panthers. Brees, who was 28 of 35, finishes with a record 468 completions this season, breaking Peyton Manning’s 2010 mark of 450. He finishes the season completing 71.6 percent of his passes, breaking his own 2009 NFL record. Brees surpasses 300 yards passing for the seventh straight game and 13th time this season, both NFL records. He finishes the season with 5,476 yards and 46 touchdown passes. 2012 — Backup quarterback Matt Flynn throws for a franchise-record six touchdowns to give Green Bay a 45-41 victory over the Detroit Lions. With Aaron Rodgers on the sideline, Flynn sets Packers records with 480 yards passing and the six TDs. Detroit’s Matthew Stafford throws for 520 yards with five touchdowns. Calvin Johnson has 11 catches for 244 yards and a touchdown for the Lions.

NBA Miles, Hill lead Pacers past Heat
ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — C.J. Miles scored 25 points, George Hill added 20 and the Indiana Pacers rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit and pulled away from the Miami Heat 10695 on Wednesday. The Pacers (12-21) have won six straight regular season home games against the Heat. Dwyane Wade led Miami (14-19) with 20 points. Chris Bosh had 18 points and eight rebounds, but the Heat lost their third straight since beating LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas. Miami appeared to be in position to end the skid after scoring the last four points of the second quarter and extending the lead to 56-46 early in the third. But Miles and C.J. Watson combined for 10 points in a quarter -closing 17-2 run that erased a 68-61 deficit and gave the Pacers a 78-70 lead. Indiana led by as much as 85-72 early in the fourth, and Miami didn’t get closer than six the rest of the way. Miles, Watson and the Pacers completely swung the game. Miami, which was shooting almost 60 percent for most of the first three quarters, made only two baskets in a 9 minute, 58-second span that proved decisive. It finished at 49.4 percent. Meanwhile, Miles and Watson energized what had been a lethargic of fense that had only 42 points at halftime. Miles got the decisive
spurt started with a 3pointer. After Solomon Hill made two free throws, Miles knocked down another 3 to get Indiana to 7069.

Miami cut the deficit to 94-88 with 3:50 to play after Luol Deng’s threepoint play, but Miles made one of two free throws and George Hill made two straight 3s to close it out.

BOSTON — Jared Sullinger scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics snap a four -game losing streak. Kelly Olynyk added 15 points, Jae Crowder 12 and Marcus Smart 11 for Boston, which never trailed and avoided matching its longest losing streak this season. Darren Collison and Carl Landry each scored 14 points to lead the Kings, who lost for the ninth time in 11 games. Boston led by 16 after three quarters and pushed it to 92-67 when Olynyk’s 3-pointer capped a 9-0 spurt with just over seven minutes to play.

Boykin’s 3 TD passes lead TCU in Peach Bowl
BY CHARLES ODUM ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — Gary Patterson knew just what to say when asked if TCU’s rout of Mississippi was a statement the Hor ned Frogs should have been in the four-team playoff. “I don’t think I have to say anything,” Patterson said. No need. The Hor ned Frogs said it all on the field. Playing like a team motivated by the playoff snub, No. 6 TCU rode three touchdown passes from Trevone Boykin and a dominant defense to a 42-3 rout of No. 9 Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday. Josh Doctson had two touchdown catches and Aaron Green ran for a score and added a touchdown reception for the Horned Frogs (12-1). “We showed Atlanta, the crowd and everyone that we deserve to be in the playoffs competing for the national championship,” said receiver Kolby Listenbee, who threw a touchdown pass and had a scoring catch. Added Doctson: “I think people around the nation
will be talking about us for a while now.” TCU fans also were thinking of the national championship they can’t win. Late in the third quarter, when the lead was 42-0, TCU fans targeted the No. 1 seed in the playoff when they chanted “We want Bama!” Ole Miss (9-4) lost four of its last six games. Bo Wallace threw three interceptions, including one caught in the Rebels end zone by defensive end James McFarland for a touchdown. TCU looked like a championship contender to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. “TCU is a very good team,” Freeze said. “They deserved every mention they got this year to be in the hunt for one of the four. ... I’m glad I’m not on that committee to pick the four. They certainly could compete with any of the four in it, there’s no question in my mind.” The action was as lopsided as the score. TCU finished with 423 yards and allowed only 129 to Ole Miss. The Rebels were held to 9 yards rushing in the
Reds’ outfield set for ’15 with acquistion of Byrd
ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — The Reds acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd and cash from the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday for a minor league pitcher, filling the biggest hole in their lineup. The Reds tried to get a left fielder through free agency but failed, prompting them to trade for the 37-year -old Byrd. He played center field and right field during his major league career, but came up through the minors as a left fielder. “Hopefully it’s going to be like riding a bike,” Byrd said during a conference
call. “I’m going to have to put a little extra work on it this offseason.” Byrd is the latest veteran traded for prospects as the Phillies rebuild. They’ve also sent 2007 National league MVP Jimmy Rollins to the Dodgers and left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo to the Pirates. The Phillies have missed the playoffs three straight years after winning five straight NL East titles, two pennants and the 2008 World Series. Byrd gets $8 million next season. There’s an $8 million team option for 2016.

with great escapes for Florida State. Five times the Seminoles have overcome a halftime deficit. Seven times Florida State has won a one-score games, including the Atlantic Coast Conference championship against Georgia Tech (37-35). The ‘Noles have looked vulnerable, which explains why Oregon is a 9 1⁄2-point favorite. “Our team has never walked on the field and thought we were an underdog,” Fisher said.

yards with three interceptions. The Rebels avoided the shutout when Gary Wunderlich kicked a 27-yard field goal with 7:18 remaining. Boykin also had turnover problems, as he completed 22 of 31 passes for 187 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He had 10 carries for 65 yards. There were a combined
five turnovers in the first half, including three by TCU. Boykin threw two interceptions and wide receiver David Porter fumbled when trying to pitch to Green on a trick play. The Rebels, held to four first downs and 59 total yards in the first half, couldn’t take advantage of the turnovers. By contrast, the Horned Frogs turned two Ole Miss turnovers into 14 points.
The conventional wisdom is that both Winston and Mariota will enter the NFL draft after this season, though both have at least a year of eligibility left. So one of them is likely about to play his last college football game. Winston hasn’t been as consistent this season as he was last year. The third-year sophomore has thrown 24 touchdown passes and 17 interceptions and has been plagued by slow starts. But when the game has been on the line, he has more often than not made the big plays. “I think it actually makes me better as a quarterback because things are not always
going good, and when you get to the next level or even in life, when things are not going your way, you can’t just hide up under a rock,” he said. In many ways it is as if this season has been a continuation of last year’s title game against Aubur n, when Florida State fell behind 21-3 in the first half and Winston led a game-winning drive in the final minute.

Oregon has been at the forefront of the up-tempo offense revolution in football. While many have copied it, few do it better than the Ducks. Florida State players have said they have done
On the Rebels’ third snap of the game, a pass from Wallace was picked off by safety Chris Hackett. Two plays later, Listenbee threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Green. Late in the half, Wallace tried to avoid a safety when pressured in his end zone by tossing the ball away, but McFarland snatched the ball up before it hit the turf for an instant touchdown and a 28-0 lead. Wallace was sacked five times — all in the first half. The rout continued in the third quarter as Boykin threw touchdown passes of 35 yards to Listenbee and 27 yards to Doctson. The scoring catch moved Doctson past Reggie Harrell’s team-record total of 1,012 yards receiving in 2003. The Rebels finally staged an impressive drive late in the third quarter, when they had a first down at the TCU 8. On fourth down from the 7, the shotgun snap went past Wallace, and running back Jordan Wilkins fell on the ball at the 26. Ole Miss left tackle Laremy Tunsil, an all-SEC firstteamer, was taken off the field in the first half.
more conditioning to get ready for the fast-paced attack, but you never how much it will affect a team until it’s live. Especially those big defensive linemen, who will also have their hands full chasing around the elusive Mariota. The good news for Florida State is its defensive line is has healthy as it has been in months, with defensive tackle Eddie Goldman and defensive end Mario Edwards Jr., having had time to heal up nagging injuries. Also, Nile Lawrence-Stample should be ready for the Seminoles after missing much of the season with a shoulder problem.

Dallas looks to bounce-back D
AP SPORTS WRITER IRVING, Texas — The Cowboys had their roughest day on defense when they lost to Philadelphia on Thanksgiving to raise doubts about their playoff hopes. They responded with four straight games that were anywhere from good to great on a December winning streak that ended a postseason four -year drought. “We took a butt-kicking like men,” said defensive end Jeremy Mincey, “and came back and retaliated like men.” There’s a similar bounceback theme for Dallas (124) in Sunday’s wild-card game against Detroit (11-5) because the Cowboys gave
up a franchise-record 480 yards passing to Matt Stafford in a 31-30 loss to the Lions last year. Not only did Calvin Johnson have 329 yards receiving — the second-most in NFL history — but the Cowboys let the Lions go 80 yards in just 50 seconds in the final minute for the winning touchdown. Stafford sees something different this year, though. “They’re in all the right spots all the time, it seems to me,” he said. “They’re playing extremely physical up front and doing a great job of playing with a bunch of passion and getting after the passer and stopping the run on the way.” Big plays were a problem a year ago for the Dallas defense, which finished last
in the league and gave up the first two 600-yard games in franchise history (yes, Detroit was one of them). And big plays were a problem against the Eagles on Thanksgiving, when LeSean McCoy had a 38yard run to set up one score and Jeremy Maclin had a 58-yard catch to set up another. Whether that loss was an aberration or a trigger, it’s hard to say. But the Cowboys gave up 170 fewer yards in the rematch, held Indianapolis to 1 yard rushing a week later and had a season-high four takeaways in the regularseason finale against Washington. The big plays were definitely an aberration. The Cowboys gave up 135 big
Stocks end strong year with just slight decline
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks ended a strong 2014 with moderate declines Wednesday. Even with the losses, the Standard & Poor's 500 index finished the year up 11.4 percent, or 13.7 percent when dividends are included. It was the sixth straight year of gains for the stock market. Oil, by contrast, had its worst annual performance since 2008, ending down 45 percent for 2014 after a sharp slump in the second half of the year. The market’s annual gain exceeded even most optimistic forecasts made at the beginning of the year. “It tur ned out to be a great year for U.S. economic growth, which got us higher corporate profits as well,” said Cameron Hinds, regional chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank. Most strategists believe the stock market will also rise in 2015, but they expect more modest gains of between 4 percent and 6

plays passing and rushing last season. That number was 85 this season. “The ball is critical — turnover ratio, but certainly big plays are a close second to that,” coach Jason Garrett said. “If you prevent big plays, it’s hard for teams to score against you.” It wasn’t hard for teams to score against the Cowboys a year ago. “You have to play good, sound, fundamental defense, you have to tackle well,” Garrett said. “So we really tried to make an emphasis on being better in those areas, and I think we have made improvement.” Mincey wasn’t around a year ago — he went to the Super Bowl with Denver before coming to the Cow-
ASSOCIATED PRESS DURHAM, N.C. — Freshman Jahlil Okafor scored 24 points and No. 2 Duke beat Wof ford 84-55 on Wednesday. Justise Winslow added 16 points and Quinn Cook had 15 for the Blue Devils (12-0). They shot nearly 56 percent — 71 percent in the second half — and broke open a tight game by outscoring Wofford 43-21 in the final 20 minutes, then turned it into a full-on rout by scoring the final 13 points. Okafor was 11 of 13 from the field while reaching the 20-point mark for the fifth time in seven games.
Karl Cochran had 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting to lead the Terriers (9-4). They shot 38 percent and kept it close well into the second half but went nearly 5 critical minutes between field goals while fading for their second straight loss. Both have come on the home floors of nationally ranked opponents. Before ACC play begins this weekend, coach Mike Krzyzewski wanted his talented but young team to face a test with a one-two punch of mid-majors with strong profiles. Less than 48 hours earlier, Duke beat Mid-American Conference favorite Toledo 86-69.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — It was an embarrassing Christmas for Nivea Cabrera after she was accused by her fiance’s mother of letting her 5-year-old granddaughter play with a sex toy. A mortified Carbrera asked the child where she got the penis-shaped plastic cylinder. “It’s from my Play-Doh,” the girl replied. Hasbro, the Pawtucket-based toy company, is now doing damage control over the extruder tool in its PlayDoh Cake Mountain toy. The two-piece syringe-like tool, which includes a tube with corkscrew-type ridges around the outside and a dome-shaped top with a hole at the tip, can be used to squeeze Play-Doh to look like decorative cake frosting. Complaints have been surfacing since at least November, when Tulsa, Oklahoma, TV station KTUL showed the tool to parents and asked them what they thought. The station blurred the image of the tool during the piece, saying it was due to parents’ reactions. One woman told the station it was “a pretty phallic cake-decorating piece.” After Christmas, comments started pouring in to PlayDoh’s Facebook page, including from Cabrera, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She said Hasbro called her after she posted a photo of the tool and asked about the shape on Christmas Day. She said the company offered to send her a replacement tool in a different shape, which she has not received. Erin Rivers, a mother of two from Melbourne, Florida, thought it was hilarious when she helped her 6-year-old daughter open the box. “I pulled out this extruder tool, and I just started cracking up at it, I couldn’t help it. Then I immediately put the Play-Doh in it and took a picture of,” she said. Then, she posted it on Facebook. “My friends have just as dirty minds as I do,” she said. “It was hysterical to me. And then I gave it my daughter to play with.”
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. says it has completed the planned $3.9 billion purchase of 156.1 million shares of preferred stock. Detroit-based The automaker sold cheaper debt to pay for the purchase. GM spokesman Tom Henderson said Wednesday that the deal improves the company’s cost structure. GM has now redeemed all Series A preferred stock from the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits T rust and Canada Gen Investment Corp. The trust provides health benefits to retired autoworkers and the investment corporation manages the Canadian government’s investment in GM. The trust got the shares after GM emerged from bankruptcy to help pay the company’s retiree health care costs. GM bought back some preferred stock last year. GM will take an $800 million charge in the fourth quarter for buying back the preferred stock.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
DEAR READERS: Welcome to 2015! If the last year was challenging for some of us, a new one has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new beginning. Today is the day we have an opportunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions, which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess
about tomorrow. I will not set farreaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot. JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer. JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.
COMICS
JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully — if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block. JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions. And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by L.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India:
DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say, “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.” The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; “Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
“Where there is injury, pardon; “Where there is doubt, faith; “Where there is despair, hope; “Where there is darkness, light; “And where there is sadness, joy. “O Divine Master, “Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; “To be understood, as to understand; “To be loved, as to love; “For it is in giving that we receive, “It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” And so, Dear Readers, may this new year bring with it good health, peace and joy to all of you. LOVE, ABBY

Today’s Crossword Puzzle
Dear Readers: HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2015 can be a good year for all of us, even if only realizing one small accomplishment, reaching a goal or simply getting through it. I’d like to take a little space in my column to thank all of you for being loyal and supporting me. Your positive emails, letters, notes and comments when I get to meet you at a speech or just bump into you keep me going. There always have been horrible and sad events going on around the world, and there will continue to be. However, each day is a chance to do something nice for family, co-workers, friends or the “anonymous” person you see at a fast-food restaurant. Hint from Heloise here: When it’s time to pay for your food at the drive-thru and there’s change left, give it to the “window person” and say “Thanks.” Do the same for the counter person who takes your order. Don’t forget housekeeping maids in hotels and motels — they are the workers behind the scenes and don’t get tipped often. Please know that I’m here to help you with the little bothers of life. Sorry, I don’t have a hint for world peace. However, I do have one to keep raccoons and deer out of your yard: Use a kitchen spatula and a metal pan to make a fierce noise. Start the day with a laugh if you can, and take care of those you care about and those who care about you. Your friend, Heloise P.S.: Here’s another hint for the new year: If you have a large job to do (clean out the attic, garage or that closet!), do the worst part first, and the rest will seem easy.

Dear Heloise: Are charger plates to be used on the table during a meal? I have been to very nice restaurants where the chargers were on the table when I arrived, only to be removed when the food was served. Which is correct? Sharon H., via email Both can be correct, and there is no law governing this! For those who don’t know, a charger plate is an ornamental “dress up” plate and not to be used for food. Usually a salad plate or soup bowl is placed on top of the charger. Typically, a charger plate is either used during the meal or brought out with the main course. It already can be on the table as part of the setting. There are many different types of “service,” so unless you are dining with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in London, I don’t think you need to fret. Heloise

Review: Cotillard shines in Dardennes’ moving social drama JOCELYN NOVECK AP NATIONAL WRITER
“Put yourself in my place.” It’s a line heard a number of times in “Two Days, One Night,” the exquisitely simple and moving new film from Belgium’s Dardenne brothers. It’s central to the story, but doesn’t the line also encapsulate what cinema is supposed to accomplish, essentially? Forcing us to put ourselves in the place of those onscreen and to wonder, often with discomfort: What would I do? Not all filmmakers pull it off, but it’s something the Dardennes, Jean-Pierre and Luc, are remarkably good at — making us understand just what we share with their characters, working-class people in industrial Belgian cities who are decidedly neither heroes nor villains, just ordinary folk trying to get by. And their effort is even more remarkable here, because the writer-directors are working for the first time with a bona fide, glamorous movie star: Marion Cotillard. The fact that it works so well is a tribute both to Cotillard’s committed, selfless work and to the Dardennes’ unerringly authentic instincts. Cotillard plays Sandra, a mother of two young children who works at a solar panel factory. It’s significant that we never see Sandra actually doing her work. It doesn’t matter. Over the course of the film we’ll learn just how important that work is — not simply to her economic survival, but to her

The action unfolds at a deliberate pace. Only gradually do we realize Sandra has been on a medical leave for depression. As the film begins, we know only that she’s been hit with a severe blow: The boss has determined that 16 workers can perform the job of 17, with a little overtime. Her fellow workers have been given a choice — a 1,000euro bonus ($1,200), or San-

Sandra is a mass of jangled nerves, prone to popping Xanax to get through the day, or escaping to bed in the afternoon. She hardly feels capable of arguing for her economic survival. The Dardennes don’t make it easy for her, and they don’t make it easy for us. No shortcuts are taken. We hear Sandra speak the same excruciating lines, plead the same case, again and again. This mundane

dra’s return. They’ve voted for the money. But Sandra wins a second chance: A new ballot, on Monday morning. All she has to do is convince a majority of the 16 to give up their bonus. She has, as the title says, two days and one night. With the help of a concerned and supportive husband (Fabrizio Rongione), Sandra heads out to knock on doors. Each of these encounters is painful.
repetition — rare in the movies — is just one aspect of the Dardennes’ filmmaking that gives it such a powerfully naturalistic feel. Cotillard is hugely effective at conveying this elemental struggle — not just for her job, but for her sense of self-worth, and, not to overstate it, for her life. With no makeup, a messy ponytail and a uniform of jeans and tank tops revealing colorful bra straps, Cotillard is stripped of glamour. But her struggle is also reflected in her eyes — at times empty and glassy, at others steely and determined. And even in her gait. Watch her trudge reluctantly toward another dif ficult doorstep encounter. Her body seems weighted down by dread. The finale is redemptive, yes, but not in the way you expect. Not surprisingly, it’s the most un-Hollywood of endings. As we watch Sandra trek off down yet another urban pathway, growing smaller as the world grows bigger, we’re struck in a very visual sense how her story is just one of many, equally powerful ones — in her town, in her country, in the world at large. Few filmmakers drive this universality home as well as the Dardennes. “Two Days, One Night,” an IFC Films release, is rated PG13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for some mature thematic elements.” Running time: 95 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.
