Gov. Bill Richardson and Gov.-elect Susana Martinez meet in the Governor's Office at the State Capitol, Nov. 9.

SANTA FE (AP) — Four Rail Runner locomotives have been quietly named after current or for mer state officials, including one that honors Gov. Bill Richardson. All had a hand in getting the service between Santa Fe and Albuquerque rolling in 2006. The other three include former Gov. Toney Anaya, State Transportation Commission Chairman Johnny Cope and former New Mexico Rep. Dan Silva.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The past eight years in New Mexico under the administration of Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson have seen hefty fines against environmental polluters and new regulations aimed at cracking down on greenhouse gas emissions. Richardson and the state Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department also made efforts to protect Otero Mesa from oil and gas drilling, while the state Environment Department led the charge to enforce water quality standards

from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Kirtland Air Force Base to the dairies scattered across southern New Mexico. But with a new administration poised to take control under the direction of Republican Gov.-elect Susana Martinez, environmentalists and some state officials are concerned that environmental protections will be rolled back. “I fear a scorched earth. I really do,” said John Horning, executive director of the environmental group WildEarth Guardians.

Horning and others are worried that once Richardson leaves office, state government will turn a blind eye to regulation and cripple those agencies that are responsible for managing water and air quality and natural resource development. However, for industry groups and some state lawmakers, the end of the Richardson era could mean the end of what they refer to as a stranglehold on See MARTINEZ, Page A3

It was the birthplace of ground water hydrology, but southeastern New Mexico still over -exploited its naturally replenishing basin to the point of disaster. Even though eastern

New Mexico sits atop one of the world’s largest aquifers, it is still in dire need of a new water source. Benjamin Franklin quipped, “When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.” Mark Twain is credited for saying, “Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over.” If relatively sparsely populated eastern and southeastern New Mexico, sitting atop vast underground

aquifers once thought inexhaustible, aren’t immune from Franklin’s and Twain’s epigrams, is any place? In the face of increasingly variable climactic activity, other places not so hydrologically well-endowed seem more and more likely to experience similar problems. To save them the hassle, what lessons, if any, could they glean from the aquatic hardships east-

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — The United States and South Korea prepared for war games today as South Koreans demanded vengeance over a deadly North Korean artillery bombardment that has raised fears of more clashes between the bitter rivals. The North, meanwhile, worked to justify one of the worst attacks on South Korean territory since the

1950-53 Korean War. Four South Koreans, including two civilians, died after the North rained artillery on the small Yellow Sea island of Yeonpyeong, which is home to both fishing communities and military bases. North Korea said civilians were used as a “human shield” around artillery positions and lashed out at what it called a “propaganda campaign” against

Pyongyang. It claimed the United States orchestrated last Tuesday’s clash so that it could stage joint naval exercises in the Yellow Sea with the South that include a U.S. nuclear powered supercarrier — enraging the North and making neighboring China uneasy. China sent a senior official, State Councilor Dai

Preacher disrupts services

Police were dispatched to the Salon del Reino de Los Testigos de Jehovah, 1421 S. Garden Ave., when church services were interrupted by a preacher from another church on Thursday. Jeremy De Los Santos, 31, and an unidentified man entered the church and began to speak, disrupting services. After the two men were asked to leave, they were joined by other men — Joshua De Los Santos, 24; Rolando Iglesia, 29; Cesar Chavez,

20, and Jimmy Collins, 24 — on the sidewalk outside the church and began to preach to passersby. Police advised the men about the potential charges of criminal trespass. Jeremy De Los Santos, who ministers at Old Paths Baptist Church, 110 N. Richardson Ave., protested that he had a right to preach.

Check scam surfaces in Carlsbad

A2 Sunday, November 28, 2010

CARLSBAD (AP) — Carlsbad police are warning residents that a fraudulent check scam that first surfaced in northern New Mexico has reached Carlsbad. Police say two cases have been reported so far, including one in which an older woman was targeted. Cpl. Tony Baca says the woman received a check and a letter in the mail advising her that she had won $250,000. The letter instructed her to cash the enclosed check and send a company identified as Imperial Financial Inc. money to pay for taxes so they could send her the winnings. Cpt. Kelly Lowe says it appears the culprits are trying to take advantage of the elderly. Police are urging residents who receive such a letter and check to not send any money or provide a signature or any personal information.

The North Korean attack on an area with a civilian population marked a new level of hostility along the rivals’ disputed sea border.

Centennial balloon

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A special hot air balloon

The aggression could be linked to the North’s attempt to strengthen its government as it pursues a delicate transfer of power from leader Kim Jong Il to a young, unproven son. It also may reflect Pyongyang’s frustration that it has been unable to force a resumption of stalled international talks on receiving aid in return for nuclear disarmament. The attack laid bare weaknesses 60 years after the Korean War in South Korea’s defenses against the North, which does not recognize the border drawn by the U.N. at the close of the conflict and which considers waters around Yeonpyeong as its territory. The skirmish prompted President Lee Myung-bak to replace his defense minister on Friday. In Seoul, about 70 former special forces troops

Jobless rate up

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico’s unemployment rate for October was 8.4 percent, up from 8.2 percent in September. The state Department of Workforce Solutions released its monthly employment report Wednesday. Despite the higher unemployment rate, the report shows over -the-year job growth was 0.6 percent, meaning the state has gained 4,600 jobs. State labor officials say New Mexico was finally able to report a return to job growth, making for welcomed news after 23 months of over -the-year employment declines. Of ficials say the increase in job growth signals that the recovery has begun. Still, they say it will be several years before job creation eliminates the labor market slack created by the recession. New Mexico’s educational and health services industry added the most jobs in October, up 5,300 since this time last year.

Agriculture workshop

LAS CRUCES (AP) — New Mexico State University plans a workshop on sustainable agriculture next month in Curry County. New Mexico State University has partnered with Western Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education to offer the workshop, which is planned Dec. 7 at the Curry County Fairgrounds Extension building in Clovis. NMSU officials say water and nitrogen resources are becoming more scarce and expensive, leading to a need for alternative crops and methods to maintain productivity and profitability. The workshop will focus on those challenges in eastern New Mexico. Stephanie Walker of NMSU’s Extension Plant Sciences says the workshop will teach techniques for the best management of water, nutrients, crops and animal resources so farms, dairies and ranches are profitable and environmentally friendly.

business that has resulted from regulation. “We’re in one of the worst economies we’ve ever seen and what have we done? We’ve said we understand that the economy is crappy, we understand we have problems and oh by the way, New Mexico, it’s closed for business. We’ve shut down,” said House Minority Whip Keith Gardner of Roswell, who has been tapped to serve as Martinez’s chief of staff. The crackdown on polluters is evident by the settlements the Environment Department has been able to reach over the past eight years with dozens of companies that have violated their permits. The settlements total more than $74 million dollars, some of which has been funneled to the state’s general fund. Environment Secretary Ron Curry said many of the laws and regulations his department has been enforcing in recent years have been on the books for decades but were largely unused by previous administrations. Curry said his biggest concer n would be rollbacks af fecting water quality. The state has tried to crack down on groundwater pollution from dairies and has been urging regulators to approve a sweeping proposal that would give special protection to some 700 miles of rivers and streams, 29 lakes and more than 4,900 acres of wetlands in a dozen federal wilderness areas around the state.

Herzog, who heads a construction company that worked on the project. Transportation department spokeswoman Megan Arredondo told The New Mexican the Transportation

tion Commission also adopted controversial rules aimed at safeguarding groundwater supplies from waste pits in oil and gas country. “I think the state of New Mexico is going to see a full fledged attack by the special interests on water quality. That is very unfortunate because usually if you’re attacking water quality, a lot of times you’re looking at rural areas,” Curry said. Curry and others are also worried about the make up of a committee appointed by the incoming governor to identify the state’s next environment secretary. The committee is dominated by the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas of ficials argue that many of the boards and commissions under the Richardson were administration weighted with members representing environmental interests. With the tide turning, Michael Jensen of the group Amigos Bravos predicted “an unprecedented ef fort” at rolling back environmental and public health regulations, including the so-called pit rules and the state’s new regional cap-and-trade program. “This anti-regulatory philosophy is very shortsighted and even contradictory,” he said. “Those pushing for regulatory rollbacks claim that it is necessary for the state’s economic health, but the fact is that fair and effective regulations benefit the state and its residents.” Jensen, Horning and others said New Mexico could end up paying more in the long run if air and water quality is compromised. Gardner argued that public policy needs to be Commission voted to approve the names in July 2009. She said she fielded no media inquiries until a reporter for Albuquerque television station KRQE-TV began inquiring about them earlier this month. KRQE’s report said Transportation Commission Chairman Cope said he had objected to having a locomotive named for him but the other commissioners overruled him. Some states have rules barring state property from being named for living public officials, but New Mexico has no such prohibition.

about balance and science, rather than the feelgood attitudes of politicians. “I think this is about someone trying to leave his mark,” he said, referring to Richardson. “That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about good policy, it’s about trying to create some kind of legacy.” Marita Noon, executive director of Citizens’ Alliance For Responsible Energy, sat through many of the hearings on the greenhouse gas regulations. She said energy has been a big part of New Mexico’s economy but Richardson’s policies, including his effort to cap emissions, are chasing businesses away. “Nobody wants dirty air or dirty water. But the way the punishments are handed out have definitely been antibusiness,” she said. “It has nothing to do with what’s good or right for the state of New Mexico.” Industry groups and environmentalists both agree that Martinez and the Legislature — which face a mounting budget deficit — will have their hands full next year as everyone jockeys for a seat at the table to help chart New Mexico’s course. Curry said it’s incumbent upon the new leaders to understand that environmental issues are not defined by Democrats or Republicans. “I think you’ll see efforts to roll things back, but the issues have always been developed based upon science and public input and if you keep developing them based on science and public input, I’m hopeful you’ll see the same result,” he said. “These are opportunities for the state to commemorate people by naming things and this is one of those opportunities that the transportation commission took advantage of to be able to do that,” Rail Runner spokeswoman Augusta Meyers said. “There wasn’t anything illegal.”

ple for others, he can’t get away from the finances. “It’s really hopeful,” he concedes, “but it’s extremely expensive.” Darrel Bostwick, the chairman of the Ute Reservoir Water Commission, believes eastern New Mexico’s Ute Reservoir pipeline project is a model project, too. He emphasizes the collaboration and the selfless people of Clovis, who, by paying a little more for their water, are leveling the project’s costs, thus, in Bostwick’s opinion, making it possible for the smaller communities to participate. But, as hopeful as the state of aquatic affairs in parts of southeastern and eastern New Mexico might be, problems persist. Dan Lethrop, the president of the board of directors of the Hagerman Irrigation District, fears gover nment’s lackadaisical regulation. “Most of the state’s water problems are directly related to the state’s unwillingness to enforce its own laws,” he says. “We have very good laws.” Limits on new appropriations have not been well enforced, he points out, referencing the state’s quick contradiction of the commitment it made to Texas in the Pecos River Compact in 1948. As for the state’s claims to “administer” its way out of water problems, he interprets them as “we're going to find ways to steal [water] from the people who have it,” instead of putting a stop to new appropriations. Domestic wells — Lethrop estimates that, over the past 40 years, 10,000 new domestic wells have been dug — are another of his concerns. While he credits the state for reducing domestic well appropriations from three acre-feet to one acre-foot, “With no meter,” he questions, “what’s the difference?” Aron Balok, the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District water resource specialist, agrees that domestic wells deserve attention. PVACD has

Sunday, November 28, 2010 taken the first steps toward studying the ef fect of domestic wells on the Roswell Artesian Basin. Of more pressing concern for Balok and most others interviewed, however, is the proposed Berrendo LLC pipeline that promises to pull Pecos River water from Fort Sumner to Santa Fe. “Water is our future,” he contests. Balok fears a decision on Berrendo will hinge on “my experts versus their experts,” and that “water flows to money” will become precedent for future water transfers, overtly or otherwise. Dudley Jones, the current manager at Carlsbad Irrigation District, thinks the young collaboration between PVACD and CID could play a vital role in the case of Berrendo and in the future. “We all have to work together,” he says, “or someone will try to pick us all off.” He adds that inter-basin transfers “can compromise the growth potential of a region.” Furthermore, he reasons, larger communities with deeper pockets and more resources at their disposal are better equipped to handle water problems than their smaller counterparts. On the other hand, Greg Lewis, the Of fice of the State Engineer’s Pecos River basin manager, and Hall struggle to imagine that the state would approve a project that would compromise its $100 million-plus investment in the Pecos River and the lands of PVACD and CID. Contesting the perception that the state could whimsically approve the pipeline, Hall says, “The Berrendo pipeline has an even tougher row to hoe because of the awareness of the issues on the Pecos.” Even tougher, it seems, will be resolving the quandary of record low water levels in Lake Mead and deliveries to the seven western states that use its and the Colorado River’s water. T im Barnett, a marine physicist at the Scripps

Institution of Oceanography, suggests that the math isn’t so challenging. Over the past 11 years, he says, Lake Mead and the Colorado River have been overdrafted, i.e. more water has been taken out than put in, by an average of 2 million acre-feet per year. Only 25 million acre-feet, he adds, remain in the system. Barnett doesn’t think the government will let the lake run dry. Instead, deliveries to some states will be reduced drastically. Arizona and Nevada, he says, will be particularly hard hit. For a solution to the problem, Bar nett jests: “What are you going to do — turn Phoenix off?” As his sarcasm implies, he’s not very hopeful when it comes to rectifying the situation. While Bar nett “would hope [the Lake Mead stakeholders] could” come to some agreement about a sustainable solution, he “wouldn’t put any money on it.” And if the states, New Mexico included, that are part of the Colorado River Compact actually try to address the problem, Barnett predicts “a terrible negotiation with lawsuits for decades. It’s a very scary scenario.” Of course, that sounds familiar in New Mexico, and this part of the state in particular. In the years after World War I, Roswell farmers battled with the Federal Land Bank of Wichita, Kan., for 16 years to secure federal farm loans. In the process, the community began studying and regulating the Roswell Artesian Basin. Struggles with water continued through the late 1980s and up to the first years of this century, respectively, with vitriol enveloping both the Pecos River Compact and relations between PVACD and CID. For eastern and southeastern New Mexico, water feuds involving terrible negotiations, lawsuits for decades and very scary scenarios are old news. jdmoore@roswell-record.com

OPINION

SANTA FE — Between administrations is a great time to consider changes throughout government. An entirely new set of decision makers is taking over at the state level. And we have new leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives. We all know that many changes in our government are necessary. With a new crop of leaders, we should see a new willingness to change the way government works. We should expect new leaders with a willingness to accept new ideas. Here are some of my ideas. I’d be glad to hear yours but even more importantly get them to your elected representatives. That means our new governor too. First, let’s talk about what seems to be on the news full time these days. It’s the battle between security and privacy. Or in more familiar language, porno scans and gropings by airport security.

Why do we get hit so often? Because of my bad eyesight, we try to make our bags stand out so I can see them on the baggage carousel. Maybe they stand out for random checks too.

I had jobs with a fair amount of stress. So we vowed to keep ourselves out of stressful situations in retirement as much as possible. It takes more time but it usually enables a leisurely meal. My recommendation to the Transportation Security Administration is to watch the baggage screeners more carefully. My recommendation to the New Mexico State Police is to figure out how to keep traffic moving on Interstates. The cops you use to pick off motorists crossing the median to get on a frontage road around a collision would be better used to help detour traffic. Are there really that many wrecks caused by people crossing the median at a seemingly safe place? I’ve never seen the statistics on it. Police cars do it all the time. From watching your commercials, it would seem it is firsttime DWIs that are the most dangerous thing on the road. From looking at the makeup of

the transition committees on energy and environment, we appear headed for relaxed regulation on many industries. Some of that probably is good, especially if it truly does allow our economy to grow. We went a long way in the other direction the past eight years to make Gov. Bill Richardson the most environmentally friendly presidential candidate and because of the strong environmental organizations we have in New Mexico. But we also are watching for political payoffs to the businesses that helped Gov.-elect Martinez close her huge campaign funding deficits in the blink of an eye. New Mexicans have become sensitized toward that sort of thing. (Write to Jay Miller at 3 La Tusa, Santa Fe, NM 87505; by fax at 984-0982; or by e-mail at insidethecapitol@hotmail.com)

Death and debt

Death may be the great equalizer, but it’s no escape from the debt collector. The explosion of consumer borrowing — not to mention the skyrocketing cost of health care, which many consumers finance at least partly on high-interest credit cards — means Americans are taking more debt with them when they die. That has created a fast-growing new niche: debt collectors who specialize in squeezing the estates of the dearly departed or their unwary relatives. Existing federal law makes collecting those debts difficult. In most cases, for example, it prohibits collectors from calling family and friends of debtors. Unless a debt was incurred by both the deceased and a survivor — in the case of a joint credit card account, for example — relatives usually are under no obligation to make good on the debt from their own funds. But a newly unveiled draft policy from the Federal Trade Commission could erode those protections. The policy broadens the number of people debt collectors can contact to find out who’s in charge of paying off debts incurred by the deceased. Consumer advocates worry that would open the door to more aggressive debt collection practices. The FTC is inviting public comments on that policy until Dec. 1. Ironically, the new policy comes as state and federal agencies, including the FTC, have begun cracking down on overly aggressive debt collectors and debt-settlement companies. At least five national firms focus on collecting debts from the dead. Their business has exploded in recent years, in part because the economic downturn has made it more difficult to collect from the living. Debt collectors, who often buy unpaid debts for pennies on the dollar, always have been able to file legitimate claims with a probate court. But a recent investigation by the Minneapolis Star Tribune found that some collectors are reaching out to relatives of the dead. Many use tactics developed to persuade grief-stricken relatives to pay debts they have no legal obligation to honor. The elderly are particularly vulnerable. “The firms that do this are experts in all the psychological persuasion techniques,” an elder law attorney told the Minneapolis newspaper. Those tactics include sympathy cards, offers of grief counseling and scripted appeals. They also can include appeals based on the “moral obligation” to pay and misleading questions that can lead some grieving family members to conclude they must come up with the money on their own. Clearly, there is a need to honor legitimate claims for debts incurred by the deceased, and states have resolution procedures for that purpose. But there must be adequate consumer protections as well. It’s bad enough when the debtor is alive and able to dispute the charges. But relatives of deceased debtors may have no way to know if the charges are inflated or downright fraudulent. The FTC should be strengthening protections for the families and friends of deceased debtors. Instead, its new policy would open the door for fresh abuses.

DEAR DR. GOTT: In a recent article about a 12year-old boy wetting the bed, you addressed the physical reasons but failed to pick up on other issues. Although you did mention sexual abuse, you did not take into consideration that this young boy could be a victim of bullying or harassment at school, in the neighborhood or other outlying scenarios. If the parents are not aware of such circumstances, the boy may be afraid to mention the situation, thus keeping his feelings in until they manifest themselves in the bedwetting problem. DEAR DR. GOTT: Your bedwetting article drew my attention. One of the first

This year, as in every year since 1989 when she escaped with other “boat people” fr om communist Vietnam, Kim Vu will offer thanks borne out of a deep gratitude for what America has meant to her since she and so many others risked their lives for something they regarded as even more valuable: freedom.

A generation has grown up since the boat people caught the public’s attention. T o many in what has become a self-indulgent generation, it may be dif ficult to fathom how anyone could go to such lengths to achieve something too many of us take for

16 because I was being molested by an older brother. When I was wet, he wouldn’t come to my bed at night. He used blackmail to keep me quiet. We were battered by our stepmother, so I could not go to her for help. I eventually got professional counseling. Now 62, I have been happily married for 41 years and have four grandchildren. DEAR READERS: It appears that I was remiss when suggesting causes of sudden-onset bedwetting. I apologize. Physical, sexual or emotional abuse are all valid causes for bedwetting. Problems can arise especially in children who do not seek

granted. Vu was 20 years old when her father urged her to follow her br other, who was the first to escape. She is now 41. Vu says she was not afraid, though the Vietnamese communists sank boats they could spot and killed many who tried to escape. Vu tried twice to escape, but pulled back when she sensed danger. On her third try, she succeeded. Vu’s father, a retired officer in the South Vietnamese Army, gave her two gold bars to pay for the journey. She was taken in a small boat

help in resolving the situation (owing to fear or embarrassment) or feel they have no one to turn to. If any of these is the cause, counseling or therapy are good places to start. Children may feel more comfortable without parents or guardians in the room during the sessions; however, it may be beneficial for the family to undergo therapy together, as well, especially in the case of molestation, so that the whole family can learn how to cope with the issue and develop tools to deal effectively with all the aftereffects that this type of abuse can See GOTT, Page A5

that held no more than three people to a larger boat that waited offshore in darkness. “We spent seven days on a trip to Malaysia with no food, only water and the water consisted of three bottle caps each day.” Later she was transferred to another refugee camp in the Philippines where she spent six months before the paperwork was completed and she was allowed to come to Virginia where her older brother lived following his escape.

Lord, at the end of my days, let me be spent Roswell Daily Record

On the day that my body is lowered into its grave, I want my life to be completely spent. I don’t want a single person to point at me and say “that man died without using all of his potential.” I intend to live my life every day until I die. I intend to grow every day of my life until I die. And when my life is through, I want to die. No sooner and no later. I want to cross my finish line and know that I have given all I have. I don’t want to have another mile left in me. I pray that God gives me enough energy to make it to the finish line and then it is all right if I collapse. If I collapse at the end of my jour ney, it will be because I gave all I had. At the time I reach my finish line, I will have run my race. When I reach the finish line I want to close my eyes, and with a smile on my face whisper, “Lord, it was worth it all.” This is my prayer, “Lord, on the day that my body is lowered into its grave, I want it to be spent.” For at that time it is no longer of any use. I want my life to end not with a period, but with an exclamation mark! I refuse to sleepwalk through life. There is too much to be experienced. I want to laugh every chance I can. I hope at times I laugh so hard that my face hurts. And when it is time to cry, may big tears roll down my cheeks and may my heart ache. God has blessed me with many gifts; gifts I am not worthy of, but gifts He intended for me to use and not be wasted. God knows how many gifts are wasted. My challenge is not merely to use every gift I have been given;

it is to use each gift to its fullest. I want to recognize as I live my life on this planet, that it is not any earthly destination that is important. Destinations come and go. It is the journey, traveled one step at a time, that counts. The journey is determined by the sum of choices, made one at a time. I want God to give me valleys to walk. May the valleys be long so I can learn patience. May the sun be hot so it tests my faith. May God provide only for my needs and not my wants so I can learn to be more dependent on Him. I need God’s help to learn to walk by faith and not by sight. May the mountain at the end of the valley be tall and the journey long. But with God’s help may I be allowed to get to the top and to enjoy the view on the other side. I want to make it to mountaintops so I can raise my arms into the air, yell out, and do a dance of celebration. I want moments where I feel so close to God that I can reach out and touch His face. I want to live life on the front row. There I will get a full dose of whatever life deals, be it joy or sorrow. I want to be a participant, and not an observer. I want to get my hands dirty and may they both become sore. I refuse to be a spectator looking in from the back row, it is my desire to receive the full brunt of

What does freedom mean to Kim Vu? “It means a lot, because I lived with communists, who wouldn’t let me go to school. I am very appreciative to live in this country.” She became a U.S. citizen in 1995. What would Vu say to her now fellow Americans who might take their freedom for granted and not appreciate the country as much as someone who once experienced oppression? “They need to see what other countries don’t have that we have here. Some people don’t see, so they don’t know.” Kim now cuts hair at a shop in Arlington, Va. I ask her what she likes best about America. She laughs and replies, “Everything is good.” How many native-born Americans think this way? Vu maintains contact with relatives still in Vietnam (three of her six siblings are now in the U.S.).

I want to be grateful for every kind act and gesture by those who God has placed in my life each day. When I wake up each day I don’t want to lay in bed wishing I had more time to sleep. I don’t want to lay in bed and worry about what may lie ahead. I want to recognize that the day ahead is the best day of my life as it is the only day I can live. I want to energetically jump out of bed with a positive attitude. For each day brings new opportunities. I want to attack each day with passion. I want to bounce out of bed each morning excited about the challenges and blessings that await. I want to live each day with a vision. I want to chase at least one dream each day. I pray to God, “Let me make a difference today, one life at a time,” because it will soon be gone. I want to accomplish as much each day as I can. I want to give as much as I can each day. And at the end of the day I want to take as much from each day as I am able. I have only one day I can live right now and that day is today. But the path I choose today will determine what path I will be on when I wake up tomorrow. I want to spend my life accomplishing things that are meaningful.

If that were true, why do so many want to come here? Perhaps it takes someone like Kim Vu to remind the rest of us not only of the cost of freedom, but just how fragile freedom is and how it must be constantly fought for if it is to be maintained. More than anything else we might possess, or hope to possess, freedom ought to be at the top of every American’s list of things for which we should be thankful every day, not just at Thanksgiving.

have spent. I must let go of it because tomorrow brings a new day and new challenges. At the end of the day, when my head touches my pillow, I want to peacefully be out like a light. It is not until that time I have one less day to live. I recognize I cannot save the entire world regardless of my efforts. I am unable to make an impact on a man in Switzerland today. But I can make a difference to the lady behind me by holding the door open for her. I can make a dif ference to the man who wears a tie I like by merely telling him so. I do have the ability to influence and uplift the one next to me. Today I am excited about what God is preparing me for. I am not sure what is ahead. It may be joy, frustration, success, failure, accomplishment, or tragedy. Regardless, I do know God is in control and whatever hand is dealt me, I will play it the best that I can. I also know confidently God will never give me any difficult circumstances He won’t first equip me with the tools to overcome. With God all things are possible. As we are told this in the Bible in Philippians 4:13, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” Jerry Seinfield once said, “Life is truly a ride, we are all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind he’s ripping your ticket and away you go. And as you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put up your arms and scream. Sometimes you just hang onto the bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for

at the end of life is that your hair is messed up, you’re out of breath, and you didn’t throw up!” In the life I live, I hope to keep from throwing up. But if throwing up is part of the price that is paid for taking the ride, so be it. I want to be breathless at times. I want to have my hair messed up. I want it messed up regularly. I want to be able to get off the ride shaking with excitement. As I look at the spectators of life off to the side who are afraid to take the ride, I want to stand tall. I want to know that deep inside me I can say that I have truly experienced life. My challenge to you today is to experience life to the fullest. Don’t sleepwalk through the days that have been given to you. Fasten your seat belt and take of f. Life is not a dress rehearsal. You get one chance. You have already spent your past. Make a difference today. It is the only day you can live. Those who are blessed with many years have the opportunity in the twilight of their years to sit in rocking chairs on their front porch and reflect. When that day comes for you, will you have experienced life to the fullest? Will you be spent? I want God to mess up my hair regularly, for it is only then that I shall know I will have accomplished what He intended in the life He gave me. Just a thought ...

In the past two months we have begun a series of evenings to support the museum’s foundation and provide folks with unique experiences based on the museum’s mission of arts, sciences and history education and enrichment. So far, our two events have celebrated the Day of the Dead with traditional food and an informal talk on the history and customs of Mexico surrounding All Soul’s Day, and we have enjoyed an artist’s talk on Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Tennessee along with an opportunity to travel as a group for a fulfilling and adventurous excursion with Friends of the RMAC.

Life too complex to be random

Dear Editor: In the Nov. 14 Record, someone was insisting that evolution is a fact above question. We must look carefully at available evidence. First, we must understand that a question about what happened “millions of years ago” is not truly in the realm of natural science. That discipline deals with questions that can be answered by repeatable experiments or by observations. To take a common sense approach, we must ask if we could reasonably believe that a bicycle found in the ground could have been produced by random, natural means. We would agree that it certainly could not happen. Somehow, some people insist that a living cell, which is far more complex than anything made by man, happened by accident. Every leaf, every organism cries out “design!” yet we insist there is no Intelligent Design. The second law of thermodynamics states that we cannot have a perfect transfer of energy. For this reason, the world is in a state of decay. We expect complex molecules, if left to themselves, to decay to simpler molecules, not assemble themselves into DNA. Some people will tell us that the sun gives enough energy to overcome “entropy,” the tendency to go from order to disorder. That is not valid. We get sufficient energy from the sun to turn a pile of building materials into a house, but without an organizing force (like a genetic code) the structure cannot be built. We have good reason to believe in a young age for the

years on Capitol Hill, died in San Antonio at age 84. Five years ago: Eight-term Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham pleaded guilty to graft and tearfully resigned; the California Republican had admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes mostly from defense contractors in exchange for government business and other favors. (Cunningham was later sentenced to 8 years in prison.) A corruption scandal brought down the minority government of Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. A 10-day U.N. Climate Control Conference opened in Montreal. One year ago: A conservative Iranian legislator warned his country might pull out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty after a U.N. resolution censuring Tehran. For a second straight day, Tiger Woods was unavailable to speak to the Florida Highway Patrol about an accident involving his SUV that sent him to the hospital with injuries.

If we follow the curve back only 20,000 years, Earth’s magnetic field would be as strong as a magnetic star, and life could not exist. Let us remember that this theory was formulated to give an Atheistic explanation for life. Darwin and his associates were Atheists. Whether you argue for evolution or creation, both come from someone’s religious beliefs. The only honest answer to the question “How did life begin?” is “Science cannot answer that question.” Evolution is a statement of Atheism, not science. Hitler listened carefully to Darwin. He concluded that he had the right to be “as cruel as nature” in eliminating “inferior races.” Given the impossibility of a living cell forming by random forces, I find it more satisfying to say, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.” Thank you, Russell Scott Roswell

Poor shouldn’t get sick

Dear Editor: I have to agree with the Republicans and Libertarians on irresponsibility and self reliance. People who can’t afford things shouldn’t be getting them. If they can’t pay their own way the government shouldn’t be bailing them out. It is irresponsible for a person to acquire something he can’t afford. Case in point. People who get sick and can’t afford to pay a doctor and don’t have adequate health insurance shouldn’t get sick in the first place. That’s irresponsible behavior. If you want to get cancer, diabetes or heart disease, do it on your own dime. Don’t ask me for help. I did not tell you to get sick. You made your own choice. If you can’t afford to fix what you got just go home and suck it up. We don’t owe you a thing. We’re not that kind of a society. We’re about money, not bleeding heart namby-pambys who are expected to help others in need. Repeal Obamacare. Noel Sivertson Roswell

Reporting Suspicious Activities: what to look for, how to act

This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by Chaves County Crime Stoppers and the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

The general public is an essential component in protecting Roswell and Chaves County from criminal activity. That’s a major reason that the Neighborhood Watch program exists. All citizens are able to help by using their observation skills as they pursue their daily lives. Law enforcement personnel, who are well trained in the use of these skills, are able to note things and events which seem out of place, which do not fit the normal

routine. However, they cannot be everywhere all the time. And so, the rest of us have to work harder at observation. One of the questions frequently asked is, “What is suspicious activity? What are some of the things I should watch for that could be suspicious?” That said, today’s column is intended to give you, the readers, some common examples of suspicious activity. Strangers loitering in your neighborhood or a vehicle cruising the streets repeatedly. Someone loitering around schools, parks and secluded areas. Someone peering into cars and windows. Lots of traffic going to and coming from a home every day and perhaps at unusual hours. Strange odors coming from a house, building, or vehicle. Open or broken doors and windows at a closed business or unoccupied residence. Sounds of breaking glass, gunshots, screaming or fighting. Someone tampering with electrical, gas or sewer systems without an identifiable company vehicle or uniform. Strangers removing license plates or loading valuables, furniture, or electronic equipment from a residence into a vehicle (even if the moving truck looks legitimate). One of our Roswell Neighborhood Watch “success stories” is exactly that. A neighbor noted personal items and electronic equipment being loaded into a pickup, knew the resident was not at home, and reported it. Suspects were almost immediately apprehended. Persons observed carrying or concealing weapons.

Sunday, November 28, 2010

(Yes, I know that Concealed Carry can certainly be okay, but in some situations it just may not look or feel right!) Multiple persons who appear to be working in unison and are exhibiting suspicious behaviors. Signs of forced entry or tampering with security or safety systems. Perhaps a series of unexplained burglar or fire alarms, prank emergency calls or similar actions. These may indicate someone testing or probing security and emergency response systems. Abandoned vehicles. Certainly, these are just a few examples. There are countless other situations which would be considered suspicious activity. But, in a nutshell, suspicious activity can refer to any incident, event, individual or activity that seems unusual or out of place. Yes, you can make a difference in the safety of all of us. If it looks wrong, or feels wrong, report it. You, the average citizens of our Roswell and Chaves County community, are valuable tools in the fight against crime! Thinking about setting up a Neighborhood Watch? Call Richard and Steve at 622-SAFE (7233) for information. And don’t forget, the number for Chaves County Crime Stoppers is 1-888-594-TIPS (8477).

Josh Baker of Hobbs

HOBBS — Game, Set, Match. Words usually heard from any successful tennis player. Words also heard quite often from the men of the University of the Southwest this fall. A record-setting performance was strung together this season by the University of the Southwest Men's tennis team as they compiled a per fect 6-0 record, becoming the most successful team in the program’s short four year history. Coach Paul Baker attributes the success of the team to a dedicated, hard working group of individuals who absolutely refused to lose. The team consists of Josh Baker, Adam Faul, Jarron Franklin, Edgar Luna, Anthony Nguyen, Marek Andruj, Richard Southern, and Teddy Yelley. “We have a great mix of experience and youth,” said Baker. “The camaraderie that the guys share make for a family-type atmosphere that is conducive to winning and excellence. Winning became a habit, and this team just got better as we progressed through the fall.” The highlights of the team’s fall season were two dominating 9-0 wins against Division III Sul Ross State University and, most importantly, the impressive wins against the New Mexico Military Institute Broncos (6-3 and 5-4). “The Broncos are perennial Top 5 in the nation and beating them twice lets us know we can compete with anyone,” added Coach Baker. Four of the Mustang’s singles players winning percentage was over .900 which included Ondruj, Baker, Faul, and Southern. The doubles teams of Baker/Ondruj and Faul/Yelley had undefeated seasons to add to the teams accolades. “The success tells us that we are on the right track,” said Coach Baker, “Our goals we have set for the upcoming spring season include qualifying for a spot in the Regional T our nament and from there moving on the National T our nament making the school extremely proud. The support we have received from Dr. Dill, the administration, Athletic Director Mike Galvan, and the student

body has been terrific and as far as we are concer ned, the sky is the limit. We truly believe we can accomplish anything through hard work and the grace of God.” The team is back in action in Abilene, Texas, February 5, 2011, to kick of f the spring season. If this fall is any indication of what can be expected, losing will not be an option. University of the Southwest is a private, interdenominational university in Hobbs.

AR TESIA — The 2010 version of the Goddard Rockets did what no other team in school history did by completing an undefeated regular season. However, on Saturday, the Rockets failed in their attempt to do what no other team in New Mexico has done since 1999 and what only two teams have done in the past 20 years; beat Artesia in the playoffs at the Bulldog Bowl. The 26-time state champion Bulldogs (8-4) and their much-maligned defense came up with the stops they needed, helping

Artesia beat No. 1 Goddard, 38-29, in front of a capacity crowd in Artesia. The first half essentially decided nothing after ending in a 21-all deadlock and, in the second half, things just went wrong for the Rockets. Goddard got the ball to start the third quarter and went right down the field. Josh Quiroz rattled off a 20-yard run on the half’s second play, taking the ball to the Bulldog 3. Artesia was flagged for its second straight personal foul on the play, putting the ball at the 1. And Goddard (11-1) went backwards from there. Quiroz was hit for a 1yard loss on a sweep play,

HAWAII STOMPS NMSU, 59-24

LAS CRUCES, (AP) — Alex Green rushed for a school record 327 yards and three touchdowns, Bryant Moniz threw four touchdown passes and Hawaii beat New Mexico State 59-24 on Saturday. Greg Salas caught 10 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown for the Warriors (9-3, 7-1 Western Athletic), who secured a share of the conference title. Hawaii is currently tied for first place with Boise State and Nevada. The highlight for New Mexico State (2-10, 1-7) came on Davon House’s 48-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter. It was the senior’s 11th career pick and third career touchdown. While Hawaii’s conference season is over, Boise State hosts Utah State next weekend and Nevada visits Louisiana Tech. Hawaii has won four conference titles in the past 32 seasons, with only one being an outright championship. Green topped the previous high of 270 rushing yards set by Pete Wilson against BYU in 1950. Salas became Hawaii’s all-time leader in receiving yards with 4,037, passing the previous mark of 3,919 set by Jason Rivers.

followed by a false start by Goddard that took it back to 7. Ryan Greene ran for 2 on the next play and disaster struck on the ensuing third down. Greene rolled to his left and was looking toward the flat for Quiroz in the end zone. Artesia’s Ramiro Lara broke on the play as soon as Greene let the pass go and intercepted it at the goal line. He took it out to Bulldog 5 before Quiroz dragged him down and Artesia’s defense had the stop they hadn’t been getting all season. Then Artesia’s offense did what it has done all season — marched down the field and scored. The Bulldogs completed a pair of third downs on the drive and, on 2nd-and-goal from the 1, Josh Houghtaling plunged in for a goahead score to make it 2821 with 2:33 left in the third quarter. After the game, David Anaya said it was that sequence to start the half that gave Artesia all the momentum. “They already had the momentum coming out of halftime, so we thought if we went down there and got a quick score that we’d actually keep the momentum up on our side. But, without scoring, that gave them more momentum.” Anaya’s presence, or lack thereof, on the ensuing drive kept momentum on the home side for the remainder of the third quarter and a better part of the fourth quarter. The junior went down with cramps after a 7-yard run that took the ball to the Bulldog 27. He came out of the game for the next three plays and Goddard moved

Goddard’s Ryan Greene prepares to pitch the ball while running an option play against the Artesia Bulldogs in their game, Saturday. Artesia upset the Rockets, 38-29.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Andy Dalton trotted off the field, a single-stem red rose in hand. The next stop for the BCS-busting Horned Frogs could very well be the Rose Bowl. Dalton threw three touchdown passes before leaving with a minor elbow injury and No. 4 TCU capped its second straight undefeated regular season with another Mountain West championship, beating lowly New Mexico 66-17

on Saturday. TCU (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West) has been jockeying with Boise State for a possible BCS appearance and got a major boost from Nevada, which knocked off the previously unbeaten Broncos on Friday night to give the Frogs an easier path to Pasadena. “Honestly, I feel bad for Boise State,” coach Gary Patterson said. “I know how hard they’ve worked to get where they’re at. We’ve been down the same road.”

Anaya re-entered on the first play of the fourth quarter and carried the ball for 13 yards to the Bulldog 7 to set up a 1st-and-goal. But, again, he had to leave with cramps and was on the sideline as Goddard failed to on three plays. Anaya talked about missing time after the game. “It was difficult. I got cramps in my calves and couldn’t run on them or do anything on them.” On fourth down, Anaya again re-entered and lined up at wingback.

Goddard elected to throw it on fourth, with Greene hitting Ramirez near the goal line. Ramirez appeared to have his body, and the ball, over the plane, but he was ruled down at the 1inch line and Artesia celebrated its second straight goal-line stand. The third time would be the charm for Goddard. After forcing a Bulldog punt and getting the ball back at the Artesia 43, Greene led the Rockets down the field with three runs and three passes.

If form holds next week across the college football landscape, it could be a purple Rose Bowl. Of course, Patterson and his players are holding out hope that top-ranked Oregon could lose next week to Oregon State or No. 2 Auburn could be upset by South Carolina in the SEC title game. “Honestly, we’ll be happy to be in whichever game we go to,” Dalton said. “It will See ROLLS, Page B2

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Landry Jones matched the school record with 468 yards passing and threw two long touchdown passes in a wild finish to the Bedlam game as No. 14 Oklahoma beat No. 10 Oklahoma State 47-41 on Saturday night to forge a threeway tie atop the Big 12 South. Jones threw an 86-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Kenney, then answered Justin Gilbert’s kickoff return score for Oklahoma State (10-2, 6-2 Big 12) with a 76-yarder to James Hanna 29 seconds later as the Sooners (10-2, 6-2) survived to likely earn a spot in the Big 12 title game. The division will be decided based on who comes out ahead in the Bowl Championship Series standings on Sunday between the two in-state rivals and Texas A&M.

On 2nd-and-goal from the 9, Greene used the third of those three passes to hit Said Fuentes for a 9yard TD with 4:50 remaining. Goddard lined up to go for two on the point-after, prompting a Bulldog timeout. Rocket coach Sam Jernigan stuck to his guns, though, and went for the two-point conversion. Greene went rolling to his right looking to pass, but tucked it and ran instead, sliding by one defender into the corner of the end zone to put Goddard ahead 2928. On the ensuing Artesia drive, it appeared as though Goddard’s defense had finally found a groove. Bishop Whiteside stopped Andy Lopez for a loss of 4 on the first play and Esau Castillo-Rascon sacked Houghtaling for a loss of 8 on the second, setting up a 3rd-and-22 at the Bulldog 33. On that third down, Houghtaling dropped straight back in the pocket and had time to loft a wobbly rainbow pass in the direction of Trevor Whitmire. Whitmire leaped over Josh Trujillo to make the grab at the Rocket 48, giving Artesia new life in Goddard territory. Three plays later, Lopez broke through five tackles on his way to an 18-yard touchdown with 1:56 left. Caton hit Chance Allen

on the two-point try and Artesia had a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Lopez finished the game with 142 yards on 17 carries, while Houghtaling was 26 of 32 for 287 yards. On the kickoff, Zach Bowman’s kick went careening off the leg of Andre Shewcraft and Artesia recovered to all but seal the deal. Goddard did force a punt, but Greene was sacked for a safety on fourth down by Cooper Kirkpatrick on the Rocket possession to provide the final margin. The emotions of the loss spilled over on the Rocket sideline after the game. “It’s very difficult, especially since I started on defense the whole year and they took me out to bring in an extra (defensive back) because they’re a passing team,” said Rocket senior Brandon Youngblood as he unsuccessfully fought back tears. “So I had to watch my team lose on defense.” Youngblood’s fellow senior Dustin Levario said that it was just a matter of the better team winning. “There’s not much you can say. They played better than us,” he said. “We tried our best, but the better team came out on top.” Jernigan, while disappointed, was happy with the way his team played and tipped his cap to Artesia coach Cooper Henderson and the game plan the Bulldogs employed. “Coach Henderson and his staff did a great job getting ready for this game. I thought we did a good job in most places, but situations kind of took things

Arkansas upsets No. 5 LSU

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Bobby Petrino saved his toughest call for Arkansas’ biggest game of the season. Petrino went for it on fourth-and-3 in the fourth quarter on Saturday and Ryan Mallett made the move pay off with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Joe Adams. The play paved the way for the No. 12 Razorbacks’ 31-23 win over No. 6 LSU, and it kept alive Arkansas’ chances for the school’s first BCS bowl bid. “We didn’t come to paint,” Petrino said. “We came to win the game.” The Razorbacks (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) led 21-20 early in the fourth when their drive appeared to stall at the LSU 39. After a timeout, Adams lined up in the left slot and used a stop-and-go move to get behind Tigers’ defender Tyrann Mathieu. Mallett, who threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, lofted the ball perfectly over Mathieu to Adams for the touchdown. The play gave the Razorbacks a 28-20 lead, one they held onto thanks to a dominant running game that featured 153 yards

Sooners

rushing by Knile Davis against the SEC’s top defense. “It’s a play we’ve been working on since LSU last year,” Mallett said. “I could have checked out of that play, but it was man coverage and Joe made a great play to make his man miss.” Arkansas finishes second in the SEC West and could be on its way to the Sugar Bowl. The Razorbacks likely still need Auburn to win the SEC championship next week against South Carolina, but losses by Alabama and Boise State on Friday helped its case. Mallett finished 13 of 23 passing and had touchdown passes of 85 and 80 yards in the first half. He broke the school record for career touchdown passes with an 85-yard bullet to Cobi Hamilton in the second quarter, topping Clint Stoerner’s 57. The Tigers (10-2, 6-2) never led against the Razorbacks and were outgained 464294. Jordan Jefferson passed for 184 yards and ran for 34 yards, but LSU’s inconsistent season on offense continued.

ter gave Oklahoma a seemingly comfortable ninepoint lead with under 6 minutes left, but the game was just getting interesting. Oklahoma State marched downfield to get within 3331 on Justin Blackmon’s 15-yard touchdown catch from Brandon Weeden, then had a chance to get the ball back when Brodrick Brown — who had a highlight-reel tip for an interception earlier in the game — let another pick go through his arms. Jones connected with Kenney on the next snap, and he zoomed across the field and down the left sideline to make it 40-31 with 3:03 remaining. Gilbert responded with an 89-yard runback on the ensuing kickoff, but Oklahoma had some more bigplay tricks up its sleeve. After pitching the ball to Mossis Madu on first down, Jones found a wide-open Hanna behind the defense on a play-action pass and he was of f to another touchdown. It was the fourth touchdown pass of the game by Jones. Dan Bailey got Oklahoma State within striking distance with a 34-yard field goal with 36 seconds left, but Ryan Broyles recovered an onside kick to allow the Sooners to drain the clock. Jones threw three firsthalf interceptions — two on

balls he was trying to throw away — and did as much to keep Oklahoma State in the game as to put the Sooners ahead early on. But down the stretch, he was able to make the key plays that were lacking in second-half failures on the road earlier in the season at Missouri and Texas A&M. Weeden had 257 yards passing with two touchdowns and three interceptions for Oklahoma State. For the second time in three years, the Big 12 South comes down to a BCS tiebreaker. The Soon-

ers came out ahead against Texas and Texas Tech in 2008 and won the Big 12 title before losing in the BCS championship game to Florida. And once again, the Sooners figure to be in good position to move on. Texas A&M (8-3, 6-2) would have to make up at least three spots on the Sooners in the standings, or the Cowboys would have to have the slightest of drops to prevent an Oklahoma-Nebraska matchup for the final Big 12 championship game next Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.

Anaya — who had all three of Goddard’s first-half scores — capped his junior season with his third straight 200-yard rushing performance after going for 212 yards on 14 carries. He finished the season with

2,332 yards and 30 TDs on the ground. Caton finished with seven catches for 94 yards, including two first-half scores, and Dacotah Watts had seven grabs for 64 yards and the other first-

half TD for the Bulldogs. Artesia advances to the program’s 31st state championship game with the win and will host Aztec on Saturday at the Bulldog Bowl. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

be fun to watch this weekend to see what happens with those games. You never know, but if we play in the Rose Bowl, that’s going to be a lot of fun.” Fullback Luke Shivers scored twice on short runs and reserve quarterback Casey Pachall passed for one TD and ran for another as TCU dominated New Mexico (1-11, 1-7) as expected. But before the Frogs could address their postseason prospects, they needed to complete the formality of ending the regular season. They were the highest-ranked opponent to visit Albuquerque since No. 4 BYU won 48-0 on the Cougars’ march to the 1984 national title. Other than Dalton’s injury and a bumpy second quarter where TCU was outscored 10-7, everything went right for the Frogs. Dalton, the nation’s active quarterback leader with 41 victories, was setting up to pass when he was taken down by New Mexico’s Jacori Greer. Dalton fumbled, and linebacker Joe Stoner picked up the ball and returned it 36 yards to the 1 to set up a touchdown. Dalton was briefly examined by trainers. Moments later, he was up and cheering for his teammates. “Andy will be fine,” Patterson said. “We just didn’t want to take any chances. He got hit on the elbow. His arm went numb a little bit, but he was fine at the end

of the game. There was no sense in doing anything foolish.” Oregon beat New Mexico 72-0 in the season opener but Patterson, asked about comparison scores and whether TCU needed to put up a lot of points to impress the voters, said during the week he would be happy to get past the Lobos by one point. No problem there. The Horned Frogs had their highest scoring output of the season, outperforming a 62-7 win over Tennessee Tech on Sept. 11. With Dalton watching, TCU scored five unanswered TDs in the second half to pull away from a 31-17 halftime margin. TCU set single-season school records with 68 TDs and 506 points, the third straight year with a new

mark in each category. And they did it with a backup quarterback directing their base offense to run out the clock. “We ran the ball the last quarter and a half and we didn’t throw a pass,” Patterson said. “I’m not going to quit doing what was right. They knew I was doing what’s right for the sake of a national championship.” But if anyone thought Nevada’s upset took the pressure off TCU, Patterson disagreed. “No, in fact, I thought it was more pressure,” he said. “Now you’re playing for a chance at the Rose Bowl or to play for a national championship if you can win out.” TCU’s seniors also set a record with their 43rd victory, the most successful class in school history.

Buckeyes make it 7 in a row over U-M, 37-7

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In the 107 editions of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, things have never been this bad for the Wolverines. No wonder coach Rich Rodriguez is mad. “I’m ticked,” he said, moments after his Wolverines got blown out 37-7 on Saturday — an unprecedented seventh straight loss to the Buckeyes. “What do you want me to do? Hold hands with all the Buckeye fans and sing ‘Kumbaya’?” Might as well. Nothing else seems to work for the Wolverines these days against their archrivals. They fell to 0-3 against Ohio State under Rodriguez, and have been outscored 100-24 in that span. It was enough to make even Ohio State coach Jim Tressel offer some consolation. “You know, we all have our ups and downs,” he said after improving to 9-1 against Michigan. “But Michigan will be back. You don’t have to worry about that.” Jordan Hall broke things open with an 85-yard kickoff return and the Buckeyes defense shut down the Wolverines’ vaunted offense. Ohio State (11-1, 7-1) picked up two celebration penalties after touchdowns but had a lot to celebrate: A share of a record-tying sixth straight Big Ten title and, most likely, a Bowl Championship Series bowl berth. Some say the Buckeyes take the rivalry more seriously than do the Wolverines. “First and foremost, it’s important to never lose to Michigan as a Buckeye, which is unusual,” said linebacker Ross Homan. “To end up with five rings from championships is another accolade. It’s a dream come true.” Meanwhile, Michigan (7-5, 3-5) will prepare for a second-tier bowl game and hope for better days. The Wolverines started more freshmen (four) than seniors (three) on Saturday. “I worry about my future every day,” said Rodriguez, asked about rumors that his job was in jeopardy. “It’s been a lot slower (coming) than I wanted, a lot slower than our fans wanted. I don’t blame them for

that. But I’m not deterred by it.” The crowd serenaded the teams with “We Don’t Give A Damn For the Whole State of Michigan” throughout the final quarter, long after the outcome had been decided. It was the second-most lopsided Ohio State victory in the series since 1968, eclipsed only by a 42-7 win the last time the game was played in Columbus — also with Rodriguez on the sidelines — in 2008. Ohio State players, dressed up in bright scarlet helmets and shoes for the game, were twice flagged for forming an “O” with their gloved hands while celebrating after touchdowns. The crowd of 105,491 booed lustily after each penalty. The rest of the afternoon was mostly cheers. Terrelle Pryor had TD passes covering 7 yards to Dane Sanzenbacher and 33 yards to DeVier Posey and Dan “Boom” Herron finished with 175 yards on 22 carries. Herron also tied a record for longest run from scrimmage in 88-year-old Ohio Stadium when he went 89 yards in the third quarter. He actually raced 98 yards untouched, but the touchdown was called back because Sanzenbacher held a defender as Herron was heading into the end zone. Pryor completed 18 of 27 passes for 220 yards with one interception. Up 24-7 at the half, most of the drama was drained from the game as Tressel elected to stick to the ground game while improving to 9-1 against the Wolverines. “It’s great to get victories with these guys,” Pryor said. Then he echoed his coach: “There were lots of ups and downs, but way more ups.” Michigan had drawn to 10-7 on Michael Shaw’s 1-yard plunge after Robinson had led an 80-yard march down the field. But then Hall’s return flipped the game around. “Jordan’s kickoff return was huge when it came because they had just scored,” Herron said. Michigan’s sterling quarterback, Denard Robinson, was hampered by an injured left (non-throwing) hand. He played little more than a half, running for 105 yards on 18 attempts and completing 8 of 18 passes for 87 yards. He came into the game second nationally in total offense at 343 yards a game. Ohio State’s defense — with backup cornerback Travis Howard intercepting one pass and recovering two fumbles — controlled a Michigan offense that came in averaging 37 points and 515 yards per game. The Wolverines ended up with 351 yards — less than 100 in the second half. Now the Buckeyes wait to see what bowl game they’ll go to. Most signs point to the Sugar Bowl against an SEC opponent. “There’s 10 BCS teams, right?” Tressel said. “Yeah, I think we’re one of those.” —————

AP Source: Miami fires coach Randy Shannon

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami fired coach Randy Shannon on Saturday, hours after the Hurricanes finished a 7-5 regular season, a person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press. The fate of all members of Shannon’s staff has not been determined, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the university is not announcing the move until Sunday. Some, if not all, will remain for Miami’s bowl game. Shannon received a four-year extension just before the start of the 2010 season. He was 28-22 in four seasons at Miami. Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt,

Sunday, November 28, 2010 who made the decision on Shannon’s fate, did not return calls and text messages seeking comment. Hocutt made the decision shortly after Miami lost to South Florida 23-20 in overtime on Saturday afternoon, in a game where only about 27,000 people filled the 73,000 seats at Sun Life Stadium. Shannon drove away from the stadium around 5:30 p.m. Saturday unsure of his fate, though he had suspected that he would be fired after the Hurricanes were embarrassed at home by Florida State on Oct. 9 and then were beaten by lowly Virginia three weeks later. He considered making many changes to his staff and was deciding whether to dismiss some coaches later Saturday evening. Instead, Miami beat him to the punch. Shannon took over for Larry Coker at the end of the 2006 season and went on a mission to change the culture at the school — which, in many respects, he did. Miami has been among the nation’s leaders in academic success by its football program, and the off-the-field reputation has been cleaned up considerably. But it never translated into wins. Shannon went 5-7 in his first season, then 7-6, then 9-4 last year. He never won a bowl game, and never got the Hurricanes past second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division. Miami still has not won an ACC championship since leaving the Big East, and hasn’t been part of the Bowl Championship Series since the 2003 season. “Randy Shannon is Miami,” university president Donna Shalala famously said when he was hired, with good reason. Shannon is a native of Miami, played for the Hurricanes and was a longtime assistant coach there before getting the chance to lead the program. Even after Miami lost last week to Virginia Tech and was eliminated from the ACC race, Shalala sent Shannon a note of support. But when asked by The Associated Press after Saturday’s loss if he was concerned about his future, Shannon simply shrugged and said it would remain a source of speculation, as it had been for about the past six weeks. Less than six hours later, he was out of a job.

For a brief time we were known as "Stegman" after the first postmistress, none other than Sallie Chisum Robert Stegman. Sallie dropped the "Stegman" from her name soon after her divorce, and with the discovery of artesian wells in the area the fledgling town was renamed "Artesia" in 1903 and officially incorporated in 1905.

Artesia became an agricultural oasis until the early 1920s when many of the area's artesian wells began to dwindle. Fortunately, in 1924 another kind of well was discovered when the Illinois #3 oil well came in, opening up the Artesia oil fields locally and the Permian Basin regionally. Today, the oil & gas industry continues to flourish in the Artesia area along with farming, ranching, dairies, small businesses and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. With a population of 12,000, Artesia, nestled in the Pecos Valley, may be New Mexico's Best Kept Secret.

Community Culture The Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center offers a variety of art and historical exhibits, with local artists contributing many of these exhibits. Local artists have also contributed to Heritage Walkway, colorful murals in downtown Artesia which provide a mini-view of Artesia's history.

Top 2 rookie QBs meet up Sunday, sort of B6 Sunday, November 28, 2010

DENVER (AP) — The top two quarterbacks selected in the draft seven months ago will meet up on the same football field Sunday. While top overall pick Sam Bradford leads the St. Louis Rams (4-6) into Invesco Field, Tim Tebow will serve once again as the backup to prolific passer Kyle Orton, even with the Denver Broncos idling at 37. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels doesn’t want to consider what many fans are clamoring for: rushing Tebow’s NFL education now that Denver’s season is all but lost. Even though the Broncos are last in the middling AFC West, they’re not mathematically out of the playoff hunt, so McDaniels isn’t thinking about the

future as much as about fixing a franchise that’s lost 15 of 20 games for the first time in nearly 40 years. And really, Orton is the last thing that’s wrong with the penalty-prone Broncos, who rank last in the NFL in rushing and are next-tolast in stopping the run. Denver has been beset by injuries and inconsistency all year. Despite getting knocked around too much, Orton has thrown for 3,023 yards and 17 touchdowns while getting picked of f just a half-dozen times. Tebow, for whom McDaniels traded three draft picks to move up and select with the 25th overall pick last April, still has plenty of strides to make both mechanically and mentally as he tries to

morph from a combination college quarterback, albeit one of the most decorated in history, into a prototypical pro passer. He averages a few snaps a game and has been productive in the red zone, running for three short touchdowns and throwing for another with his lone NFL pass so far. But the playbook isn’t opened wide for him yet. Tebowmanics will just have to bide their time while the former Florida star paces the sideline awaiting cameo appearances. Bradford is already a rising star. Before an ill-advised shovel pass last week, the former Oklahoma star had strung together a rookie record 169 straight pass attempts without an interception. “That is big time,” McDaniels said. “And that’s in the middle of making plays, too. It is not like they’re just throwing screens and check-downs. If that was the case, maybe it wouldn’t be as impressive. But he’s throwing the ball down the field, he’s throwing double moves, he’s standing in there against the blitz, he is converting third-and-13s.” Rams second-year coach Steve Spagnuolo, who famously got the best of McDaniels in the Super Bowl four years ago when the New York Giants ended the New England Patriots’ bid for a perfect season — both were rising coordinators — has a rookie quarterback learning on the job instead of watching and absorbing. “Well, there’s a lot of ups and downs, but Sam has done a pretty good job,” Spagnuolo said. “Fortunately for us, there have been a few more ups than downs.

ately, McDaniels said: “I made a mistake. I made a mistake and I should have done that right away. We felt we handled it the right way by not doing anything with that but I did not follow through with it.” McDaniels also worked for New England, but NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Pash said there was no evidence he was involved with the videotaping there. The Broncos didn’t report this latest incident to the NFL for nearly two weeks, and Scarnecchia remained employed by the team until mid-November. Two hours before the league announced the results of its investigation Saturday, the team said Scarnecchia was on a leave of absence. Later, it said he’d been fired. McDaniels, who worked in New England from 200109, hired Scarnecchia in Denver shortly after he became the Broncos’ coach 22 months ago. “When we hired Steve, it was with the understanding that he would come here and do good work,” McDaniels said. “In no way did we think this situation or type of situation would come up and be an issue for us or for him.” Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis said that when Scarnecchia was hired, the team was aware he had been involved in Spygate, but not of the specifics. “He knew full well what was expected from him in terms of the types of behavior we would expect out of him,” Ellis said on a conference call. The videotaping occurred during practices at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 30, the day before the 49ers’ 24-16 win over the Broncos. It was the only time the teams worked out on the same

field in London. Ellis said the Broncos promptly notified the NFL after their executives learned of the violation. He declined to reveal how they became aware. “The Denver Broncos, their ownership, and their executives had their moral compass pointed in the right direction,” Pash said. He added: “I think they’ve set an example as to how incidents of this type are properly handled.” The NFL determined Broncos executives were told about the videotaping Nov. 8, and told the league about it four days later after an internal review. On Nov. 16, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, Ellis and team general counsel Rich Slivka met with league officials in New York. After that meeting, NFL security began its investigation, which included interviews of Broncos personnel and an analysis of laptop computers used by the team’s video department. It was confirmed the 49ers’ practice had been recorded, and the league retained that tape. “This incident cuts into the trust and respect our fans, our ticket holders, our community and our fellow competitors have for our organization. ... We will take all steps to ensure that an incident like this never occurs again,” Bowlen said in a statement. Scarnecchia acknowledged to NFL investigators he taped the walkthrough, according to excerpts from a letter Goodell sent to Bowlen. The letter said Scarnecchia “knew that what he did in London was wrong,” that taping the walkthrough was his decision alone.

Broncos, coach fined for taping of 49ers’ practice

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The NFL fined the Denver Broncos and coach Josh McDaniels $50,000 each because the team’s video operations director filmed a San Francisco 49ers practice in London last month, breaking league rules. The NFL investigation determined Steve Scarnecchia took a six-minute video of the walkthrough and presented it that day to McDaniels. The coach declined to view it. Still, the NFL fined both the coach and team because the matter was not promptly reported, as required by the league. Scarnecchia was also involved in the NFL’s last videotaping scandal, dubbed Spygate. After the Patriots were caught videotaping New York Jets coaches sending in signals during a 2007 game, the league’s investigation determined New England had violated rules over several seasons. Scarnecchia, who had left the Patriots by the time they were caught, was found to have taken part in the videotaping when he worked for the team in the early 2000s. Scarnecchia was notified by Commissioner Roger Goodell that, as a repeat violator of league rules regarding the integrity of the game, he faced a hearing to determine if he would be banned from the NFL. “We certainly did not view or do anything with the footage, and he was made aware that it was something we didn’t condone in our organization,” McDaniels said Saturday. “I failed to follow through and report it to the proper individuals in our organization and with the league.” Asked why he failed to report the incident immedi-

In this Nov. 14 file photo, St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford looks to throw against the San Francisco 49ers during the first quarter of their game. “It’s a process and I’d probably say all the same things any NFL coach would say. I think his growth process has been terrific. I mean, the other 10 guys around him look at him and have a lot of confidence in him. To me, that’s a big an indicator as anything.” Bradford wasn’t slated to start from the start, though. After A.J. Feeley hurt his thumb in camp, though, “it was obvious to us that Sam should be the starting quarterback on Day 1,” Spagnuolo said. The Rams may be under .500, but they’re just a game behind Seattle in the NFC West, the only division worse than the AFC West, where Kansas City (6-4) is the only team with a winning record. Bradford will face a Denver secondary that’s having some issues.

Perrish Cox gets another start with Andre’ Goodman (hip/groin) missing his seventh game, and fellow rookie Syd’Quan Thompson figures to get plenty of action in the dime defense with safeties Darcel McBath (out with a thigh injury) and David Bruton (ribs) hurt. And safety Brian Dawkins is coming off his worst game in his 1 1⁄2 seasons in Denver. A month ago, the questions about Dawkins were how seemingly ageless he was, making plays at 37 like he did when he was 24. After his performance Monday night at San Diego, fans were left to wonder if time has quickly caught up to the four-time All-Pro safety who remains one of the game’s hardest hitters when he’s not left grasping at — and gasping for — air.

Dawkins’ swing and miss at receiver Patrick Crayton resulted in a 40-yard touchdown strike. He looked even worse later when he failed to take down Darren Sproles in the flat, then watched him sprint 57 yards for the score. “There was two plays that everybody wants to talk about, but they forget about the thousands that he’s made,” Denver defensive coordinator Don Martindale said. “And I think it’s really easy to go after someone like that, but every time I tell you, it takes all 11 (players) and also myself making a good call. “And I know he’s going to bounce back, if you want to call it that — or, he’s just going to continue being the Hall of Famer that he is, which that’s the way I see it.”

Black Friday retail sales edge up only slightly

Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers crowded stores on Black Friday but spent just a little more than last year on the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, according to data released Saturday by a research firm. Retail spending rose a slight 0.3 percent, to $10.69 billion, compared with $10.66 billion on the day after Thanksgiving last year, according to ShopperTrak. Two factors behind the slim increase, a disappointment following bullish reports from stores Friday, were heavy discounts earlier in November and online shopping, which saw a big increase. Chicago research firm Shoppertrak, which tallies

it’s just not the success we saw in the mid-2000s, when the day really became a phenomenon,” ShopperTrak founder Bill Martin said. The slim sales increase came despite a 2.2 percent boost in store traffic, which Martin said suggests that consumers were in the stores searching for deals. “This means the American shopper has adapted to the economic climate over the last couple of years and is possibly spending more wisely as the holiday season begins,” Martin said. said ShopperT rak spending for first two weeks of the month rose 6.1 percent over last year, as retailers promoted the sort of doorbuster deals

doing so, some might have thinned Black Friday spending a bit,” Martin said. “The reality is we have a deal-driven consumer in 2010 and that consumer responded to some of the earliest deep discounts we’ve even seen for the holidays.” Many retailers also offered those discounts and promotions on their websites. Online merchants saw a 16 percent revenue spike, according to research company Coremetrics. That increase came partly from shoppers who spent more per online purchase, the Web research company said. The average order rose to $190.80. That’s a 12 percent increase over $170.19 on

The eBay Inc. unit did not release a dollar amount for the sales it processed. Lots of shoppers made it an all-nighter online. “Even at 1 a.m. Pacific, there was still very strong buying across the U.S.,” Squire said. Shopping on smart phones remained a small, though growing, piece of the pie. Coremetrics said about 5.6 percent of people logged onto a retailer’s website using a mobile device. That compares with less than 1 percent on last year’s Black Friday, Squire said. More dollars have shifted to online shopping over the years, but it’s still a rela-

Glyn Starling Gray

Services are scheduled for 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010, at Dexter United Methodist Church for Glyn “Giss” Starling Gray, who passed away Nov. 23, 2010, at her home. The Rev. Phillip Grassie and the Rev. Jim Bignell will officiate. Interment will follow in Woodbine Cemetery in Artesia. Glyn was born on April 9, 1926, in Bradley, Ark., to John William and Claudia Starling, who preceded her in death. Those left behind to cherish her memory are two sons, Johnny Gray and Donald Gray; her sister, Helen Johnann Starling, of Los Alamos; and Mary Bryant, who became like a daughter when she joined the family in 1989.

tively small share of holiday spending, between 8 and 10 percent. But many shoppers have become converted to the comfort and convenience of browsing the Web for gifts. Kelly Hager, 30, of Baltimore, Md., is shopping exclusively online for the fourth year in a row. “It’s nice to not have to fight for a parking spot and deal with 3 billion people who are all trying to get the same thing I’m trying to get,” she said. Hager used to work at a mall, so she’s seen Black Friday from both sides. Retailers and analysts also were encouraged that people seemed to be buying more items for themselves, a sign they’re feeling confident enough to spend more money overall. Thanksgiving weekend is prime time for retailers. In recent years, Black Friday — called that because the surge of shoppers could take retailers into prof-

of the Gray family. She leaves many cherished friends in the Dexter community. Glyn graduated from Dexter High School in 1944 and attended New Mexico State University to study home economics. While there, she was an active member of 4H, and as a freshman won a $50 scholarship and a trip to attend the 23rd annual 4H Club Congress meeting at the World’s Fair in Chicago, in 1944. Glyn married W.D. “Billie” Gray on Jan. 2, 1945, at Dexter Methodist Church. They resided in Artesia for the next six years where their first son, Johnny, was born. In 1951, they moved to the “Starling Far m” in Dexter, which they bought and it became “Gray Farm.” A second son, Donald, was bor n there and Glyn raised her family as a busy farm wife, businesswoman and mother, for 59 years. Glyn was active in the Dexter School PTA and was president for two years. She was a member of the Dexter Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday school, was church school superintendent and directed the youth choir. In 1966, she became director of the adult choir, and was church historian and membership chairman for many years. In 1984, she began substitute teaching at Dexter Municipal School and in 1988, she became a teacher for the Title I program which later became Chapter I. She helped to launch the HOST program in the elementary school, where she touched many young lives with her love of teaching and helping others to succeed. She enjoyed the relationship that she shared with the administrators, staff and students for 23 years, until retirement. The family would like to send a special thank you to

itability, or “the black,” for the year — has been the busiest shopping day of the year, according to data from ShopperTrak. Black Friday is generally not as big for online retailers as Monday after Thanksgiving, known as “Cyber Monday,” which Coremetrics predicts will be the busiest online shopping day of the year, driven by heavy online promotions. The Black Friday blitz doesn’t make or break the holiday season. In fact, shoppers seem to be procrastinating more every year, giving retailers some tense moments the last few days before Christmas. “I wait for the last minute,” said Linda Majkowski of Queens, N.Y., who visited a Costco in Melville, N.Y., on Saturday, but said she hadn’t started her holiday shopping yet. “I just found out what everybody wants on Thanksgiving.”

family friends Kelly Lusk, Rose Acosta, Dova Callihan and Jennifer Devore. She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, W.D. “Billie” Gray; her parents; and four sisters from Arkansas, Cecil Dismuke, Sue Hammon, Christine Puska and Margaret Burks; and two nephews, Jim Puska and John Robert Burks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in loving memory to Dexter United Methodist Church, PO Box 312, Dexter, NM 88230.

To our lovely lady we write this poem… She works from the first light ’til the sun sinks in the west… Teaching each person to “Do Their Best.” We are all so lucky at the end of each day. Because of the Sweet Lady, our Loving Mrs. Gray! An additional stanza to this poem we’ll now have to add. Though in doing so we are exceptionally sad.

Ann ual Chri stm as Home S how A Winter Wonderland tour of dazzling interior design

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Roswell— the lampposts on Main Street are adorned with glittering snowflakes, and now, houses are illuminated with Christmas candles and lights. But to catch an inside glimpse of spectacular holiday interior design, one must go on the 20th Annual Christmas Home Show hosted by the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico. The one-day tour of the four most fabulously decorated homes in Roswell is scheduled for Dec. 5 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. “The homes we have this year are super,” Roger K. Burnett, administrative director for the society, said in an interview. Tickets for the tour are on sale for $15 at the Historical Museum, from any Foundation or Historical Society Board member, and at the homes on tour. Burnett noted that the houses must meet at least one of three criteria to be chosen for the tour: they must either be a historical home, have unusual architecture or be extensively decorated. “Some of them hit all three without a problem this year,” Burnett said excitedly. The four featured homes this year are Kim and Bonnie Talbott’s on 8 Birdsall Lane; Kevin and Charlene Roe’s on 2 DeSosa Court; Pittman Law Firm on 215 West Sixth Street; and Cindy Boswell’s on 605 North Missouri Avenue. The Talbott’s home is a grand two-story log cabin situated on five acres of land in the East Grand Plains area and decorated with a Southwestern holiday theme. Christmas stockings hang from the rafters next to mounted oryxes and caribou in the living room, and a moose horn light fixture dangles above the second-story outside balcony near a glowing white Christmas star. “There’s not another home like it in Roswell,” Talbott said.

All proceeds go to the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico Museum

The cute and cozy 4,200 square foot home, made almost entirely from Western Red Cedar logs imported from Canada, is embellished from floor to ceiling with holiday decor such as red poinsettias, holly, garland, two Christmas trees, nativity sets and two moving reindeer on the front porch. Another home, Boswell’s quaint, white one-story house on North Missouri which still has the original concrete post to tie up horses at the end of the driveway, takes

home-viewers on winter wonderland tour outside of the Southwest and into Asia. Her home is furbished with oriental ornaments she bought while living in Japan for 10 years when she worked as a teacher for the Department of Defense Dependents Schools system. Fresh holly circles a candle on the tatami table, and a red bow is tied around a statue of former Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the living room. Santa dolls atop Boswell’s bookshelves don Asian conical straw hats, known locally as a coolie hats, and rice baskets from Thailand and Indonesia hang on her kitchen wall. Saki jars from Japan sit near the front door. “My parents bought the house in 1976, but the house was originally built in the ‘50s,” Boswell said. “It’s so spacious.” In addition to viewing homes on the Christmas home tour, tour-goers will also receive the chance to win a large selection of prizes. For a $5 donation fee to the Historical Society, you could win the grand prize of two box seats at a Dallas Cowboy football game in 2011, valued at more than $2,000. Other prizes include a set of Big O Tires, valued at $600; a $250 gift certificate from American Airlines; a Nambe dish from Bullock’s Jewelry; a $50 gift card from Target; a Calvin Klein purse from Beall’s; and a $20 gift certificate from Shear Elegance. There are seven chances to win, excluding the normal door prizes that will be given away. The drawings will take place at the close of the tour at the Historical Center, and you do not have to be present to win. Winners will be contacted Dec. 6. Burnett encourages citizens to get a group together and make an afternoon social out of the home tour, especially because the Historical Society is a non-profit, independent organization that doesn’t receive funds from local, state or federal government. This is their biggest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds go to the operational purposes of the Historical Museum. For more information, contact Roger K. Burnett or Tina Williams at the Historical Center for Southeast New Mexico at 622-8333. emiller@roswell-record.com

Find balance when planning baby’s sleep schedule Q: I’m expecting my second child soon and a friend gave me a book that’s supposed to help infants get on a regular sleeping schedule right away. I did a little online research and discovered this book is controversial. However, I really need something like this because my first child did not sleep through the night until after her first birthday! Is scheduling OK? Juli: When it comes to scheduling sleeping and eating for infants, there are two major philosophies. There’s what we'll call a “child-centered approach” in which the parents plan what they’re doing around the infant's needs. They let the infant eat and sleep whenever the infant wants to and they pick up and cuddle the baby whenever he or she cries. The second philosophy is often called “family-centered” and focuses on the baby learning to assimilate to the family’s schedule. Feedings and naptimes are scheduled, and the goal is to get the baby to sleep through the night as soon as possible. This approach sounds like the book that you mentioned. Taken to the extreme,

DR. JULI SLATTERY

JIM DALY

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

both of these approaches can be dangerous to the child -- emotionally and, perhaps, physically. If you take the child-centered approach to the extreme, every time the baby cries, Mom is busy trying to feed, rock or calm her. This can lead to a child who doesn’t know how to self-soothe. If you take the familycentered approach to an extreme, you run the risk of not meeting your child’s physical, medical and emotional needs. A baby’s needs change from day-today, week-to-week. Your pediatrician should give you some guidelines regarding your baby's need for food and sleep based on weight and development. I’d encourage you to use common sense in blending these two approaches together. Try to introduce some structure into your baby’s life. Loose schedules for eating and sleep-

ing will do this. But within the structure, be sure to be responsive to your baby’s changing needs for food, sleep and comfort.

Q: I often read about the problems associated with letting kids watch too much TV. Certainly, there’s a lot of trash out there. But is there any research that favors letting young children watch strictly educational programming? Jim: Offensive content is not the only reason to limit a child’s TV intake. Regardless of what they’re watching, research shows that too much TV can cause kids to struggle academically and socially. A team of researchers from Canada and the U.S. recently released some startling findings regarding the effects of TV on toddlers. The Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine studied children's viewing habits at

age 2 1/2, and then checked in with the same kids again when they reached age 10. The study found that for every additional hour of television viewing per week at age 2, the kids experienced a 7 percent drop in classroom attention and a 6 percent drop in math skills. They were also more likely to be bullied; they exercised less, weighed more, and ate more unhealthy snacks. The same study also confir med previous research showing that early TV exposure undermines a child’s attention span. It also suggested that kids who spend more time watching TV and less time playing with other kids may lose valuable chances to learn social skills. If you take this research seriously, then the bottom line is that too much TV is detrimental to young children, regardless of the content. We’d recommend getting your kids involved in other activities, far away from the TV. Turn it off whenever you can -- or get rid of it altogether, as my family did two years ago!

DEAR ABBY: My wife is a back-seat driver who seems to get more anxious every time we go anywhere together. She tells me to slow down, which lights to watch, which lane I should be in, which cars are braking, which ones are speeding, where the semi-trucks are if she thinks they’re getting too close, and how to drive in various weather conditions. She’ll move her foot to an imaginary brake on the passenger side, squirm in her seat and hang onto the handle above the passenger door while I’m doing my best to concentrate on my driving. It’s very distracting. My wife is not willing to drive when we’re going somewhere, although I have offered to let her. She also refuses to sit back and relax because you can’t control another person’s driving. If I ignore her, she becomes irritated and says I’m not paying attention to her concerns. I have never had a serious accident and have had none in the past 15 years. What can I do about this? DRIVEN CRAZY IN WISCONSIN DEAR DRIVEN: For openers, slow down!

DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of the groom. My husband and I are hosting the wedding rehearsal dinner. The bride’s mother informed me that she is going to have a slide show of the bride’s and groom’s baby pictures at the dinner. What do you think of this practice? I thought she should have at least asked my permission. I did tell her I was not a fan of the idea because I was at a wedding reception where it was done and the comments from the guests were not complimentary. Please comment. TASTEFUL MOM IN NEW YORK DEAR TASTEFUL MOM: I think showing the bride’s and groom’s baby pictures at the rehearsal dinner would be rather sweet. I’m sure they will elicit many “Awws” and “Weren’t they cute!” And the guests will be limited to the bridal party and out-of-town guests, a smaller crowd than would attend the wedding reception. Because your in-law-to-be won’t be able to get her hands on photos of your son without your cooperation, select some you like and share them. If you don’t, it will cause hard feelings. And yes, she should have asked permission. Chalk up the fact that she didn’t to her excitement and a desire to contribute.

mouth, hold it in place with the teeth and drink water. It works every time!” Dale, via e-mail, says: “To cure hiccups, say ‘pineapple’ out loud or under your breath. It really works.” Leslie in California uses our old standby, vinegar: “When I have the hiccups, I drink a small amount of white vinegar. One swallow does it. It’s not pleasant, but I think it ‘shocks’ the brain and taste buds so much that you forget to hiccup. It has never failed me.” And speaking of the brain, how about some brainpower? Elizabeth, via e-mail, puts in her two cents: “I taught school for 29 years and found this idea to help many students with hiccups. Use two straight pins, one in each hand. Bring your hands together and try to touch the pointed tips together. It requires some concentration to keep the points touching. I suppose it causes one to relax the diaphragm, and the hiccups go away.” Marlene, via e-mail, cites her mom’s cure: “She’d ask me, ‘When was the last time you saw a bunny?’ Shortly afterward, she’d follow with, ‘What happened to your hiccups?’ Lo and behold — they were gone! I thought it was magic, but now I know that concentrating so hard somehow helps.” And finally, our favorite hiccup helper, from Joan V. in Hammond, Ind.: “My way of stopping hiccups on other people? Just ask them, ‘What’s your uncle’s middle name?’ It throws them off, and the hiccups are gone.” Many hints to stop hiccups, so hopefully one will help you!

Trustee for Madoff victims files 40 lawsuits in NY

NEW YORK (AP) — Relatives of both Bernard Madoff and his wife are among those being targeted in 40 lawsuits announced Friday by the trustee endeavoring to recover money for victims fleeced by the disgraced financier. Twenty-two of the lawsuits were filed against relatives of Madoff and his wife, trustee Irving H. Picard said in a news release. Eighteen lawsuits were filed against former employees of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, he said. An attor ney for Ruth Madof f didn’t immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment Friday night. Picard said his firm is seeking about $69 million in funds deposited by the company’s customers and stolen in the 72-year-

old’s vast Ponzi scheme. Picard said the lawsuits were filed as part of an effort to recover funds from relatives and employees “who were closest to the center of the fraud and who were, in many cases, among those who benefited most from the Ponzi scheme.” Among the complaints, Madoff’s sister, Sondra M. Weiner, is accused of having “profited for decades” from the scheme, Picard said. A woman who answered the phone at Boynton Beach, Fla., listing for Weiner hung up without commenting late Friday. Picard said the lawsuits were filed after discussions with the defendants and their attorneys collapsed. Other complaints were previously filed against relatives of

Qantas A380 returns to air after engine blowout

SYDNEY (AP) — A Qantas superjumbo took off from Sydney on Saturday on the first A380 passenger flight for the airline since a midair engine explosion earlier this month triggered a global safety review. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce was among the 478 passengers and crew who boarded the giant double-decker Airbus plane, a gesture meant to reassure customers that the planes are safe to return to the skies. “We are 100 percent comfortable with it,” Joyce told reporters. “If we weren’t, we wouldn’t be restarting the operations today.” Qantas grounded its six A380s immediately after a Rolls-Royce engine on one of its superjumbos disintegrated shortly after the plane took off from Singapore on Nov. 4, sending shrapnel slicing through a wing and causing multiple problems for the pilots. Investigators say leaking oil caught fire in the Qantas engine and heated metal parts, causing them to disintegrate before the jetliner returned safely to Singapore with 466 people aboard. Experts say chunks of flying metal cut

hydraulics and an engine-control line in the wing of the A380, causing a cascade of problems including the loss of control of a second engine and some braking power, fuel leaks and more than 50 onboard warnings. It was the most serious safety incident for the world’s largest and newest jetliners. Other airlines using the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine aboard A380s — Singapore Airlines and Ger many’s Lufthansa — also briefly grounded some planes for safety checks. Qantas’ checks have been more exhaustive than the other airlines. It has replaced at least 14 of the Trent 900 engines — each A380 has four of the bus-sized engines. Qantas is putting just two of its A380s back into service while modifications are made on engines on other aircraft. The plane involved in the midair blowout is still in Singapore, where investigations are continuing. Qantas spokesman Tom Woodward said Saturday’s flight left Sydney a few minutes late on Saturday but with no problems. It was headed for Singapore, then London.

Metals fall on worries over Korea

NEW YORK (AP) — Gold and other metals fell Friday on uncertainty over North Korean war threats and also worries that more European nations like Spain and Portugal could need a bailout in the coming weeks. “Whenever there’s unease, people take money off the table,” said George Gero, vice president of Global Futures at RBC Capital Markets. “There’s too much uncertainty — the possibility of bailout discussions with Portugal and Korean saber rattling.” Gold for February delivery fell $10.70 to close at $1,364.30 an ounce, while March silver contracts fell 83 cents to close at $26.77 an ounce.

Also Friday, China increased margins for futures traders as part of a wider government crackdown on commodity speculation. The Chinese government is trying to slow down growth after inflation grew at the fastest rate since 2008. China is the largest consumer of industrial metals. Palladium for December delivery fell $18.90 to settle at $676.50 an ounce. January platinum fell $13.20 to close at $1,645.20 an ounce and copper for March delivery was flat at $3.76 a pound. North Korea warned Friday that plans by South Korea and the U.S. to stage military maneuvers have put the Korean peninsula on the brink of war. North Korea fired artillery shells at a South Korean island Tuesday, killing four people.

An estimated $20 billion was lost, making it the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history.

Thousands expected to protest Irish austerity plan

A March 10, 2009, file photo of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff.

DUBLIN (AP) — Tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected in Dublin to oppose the government’s harsh austerity plan, aimed at slashing the country’s budget deficit to meet the terms of a bailout for its humbled economy. The labor union-organized rally Saturday follows Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen’s announcement Wednesday of a four -year package to cut spending, raise taxes and ax thousands of state jobs, the toughest budget measures in the nation’s history. Cowen acknowledged that living standards will fall, but insisted action is needed to tackle a 2010 deficit running at 32 percent of GDP, the highest in Europe since World War II. His gover nment will unveil an emergency annual budget on Dec. 7, which must be passed to allow an 85 billion ($113 billion) loan from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Ireland’s Congress of T rade Unions — an umbrella group which represents labor unions with about 832,000 members — said the protest would be a final chance to influence the budget. “It’s difficult to see any justification — either eco-

nomic, social, or indeed moral, for what the government proposes to do, and we’ll oppose them in every way we can,” said David Begg, general secretary of the group. Cowen’s 2011 budget will seek 4.5 billion ($6 billion) in spending cuts and to raise an extra 1.5 billion ($2 billion) in taxes. Though he is expected to have the plan endorsed at Ireland’s parliament, his governing Fianna Fail party lost a special election Friday, reducing the government’s majority. Cowen has vowed to call a national election after the 2011 budget is passed into law. Sally Anne Kinahan, of the labor union congress, said Saturday’s protest would allow people to “express their frustration and fear at the direction government policy is taking us in.” Some have expressed surprise that Ireland’s public has so far restrained from rowdy protests. Greece saw violent clashes ahead of its own bailout, and imperiled Portugal has suffered a daylong strike that partially paralyzed public services. In Ireland, demonstrations so far have been esoteric, not angry.

Comedian Morgan Jones led a silent protest Tuesday outside Parliament. In September, artist Fergal McCarthy floated giant Monopoly pieces — red and green houses — along Dublin’s River Lif fey, to highlight real estate speculation which prompted to bailouts of some Irish banks. Begg insisted the city center protest — a march to the General Post Office, headquarters of the leaders of Ireland’s 1916 uprising — would be free from violence. Even so, Irish police chief superintendent Michael O’Sullivan said of ficers would be on guard for trouble. “There are individuals and groups who seek to exploit such events for their own ends,” he said. Labour Party deputy leader Joan Burton has urged demonstrators to consider the image of Ireland that violent protests would send across the world. “I appeal to people in some of the smaller political organizations — I know some people are mad as hell and do not want to take anymore — not to be used as photo fodder presenting the worst image of Ireland,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) — An insider trading case last year that federal authorities said was the biggest ever is providing a recipe for another case that may be even bigger. The current case is largely an extension of work that led to the arrest of Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam in October 2009. The Galleon investigation marked the first time that federal authorities used wiretaps in an insider trading probe. Similarly, wiretaps led to the first arrest in the latest case. Don Ching T rang Chu, a consulting fir m executive, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly providing private information about a company’s corporate ear nings to a hedge fund. The FBI this week searched the of fices of three hedge funds and subpoenaed some of Wall Street’s most influential fir ms, including Janus Capital Group and SAC Capital. The Galleon case has resulted in 23 arrests and 14 guilty pleas. Many of those arrested are cooperating in the latest investigation. The cases represent an offensive by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara against white collar crime in the securities industry. One aim of the current case: unearthing those who helped match employees at public companies with large-scale traders hoping to profit from information that wasn’t available to the public. Authorities have said little about the current inves-

tigation. But a study of Bharara’s comments over the past year show how it has progressed. Bharara said when he announced the arrests in the Galleon case last year that the use of wiretaps marked a turning point in investigations of insider trading. Wall Street insiders, he said, will be forced to wonder if every conversation is recorded. “When sophisticated business people begin to adopt the methods of common criminals, we have no choice but to treat them as such,” he said. A month later, as he announced more arrests, he said “the alar m bells have only grown louder.” “How pervasive is insider trading?” he asked. “Is this just the tip of the iceberg? We don’t have an answer yet. But we aim to find out.” Two weeks later, in November 2009, he said white-collar fraud had caused a “lack of faith in the economic system; a lack of belief in the markets; and a lack of trust that the playing field is level.” By last month, Preet was holding nothing back, saying that insider trading is “rampant and may even be on the rise.” Now, at least two defendants in the initial probe seem headed for trial. Rajaratnam, a former billionaire and the richest Sri Lankan-born person in the world, and Danielle Chiesi, a former consultant at New Castle Funds, have pleaded not guilty to charges of securities fraud. Rajaratnam is a Wall

Street analyst who built Galleon into a high-flying hedge fund that specialized in trading stock of technology companies such as IBM Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Google Inc. Authorities say he built a web of contacts throughout the technology industry who provided him with inside infor mation that allowed Galleon to ear n millions of dollars in profits. Rajaratnam has said through his lawyers that his trades were all based on public information. Both face potential penalties of more than 100 years in prison. Prosecutors have given nearly all the defendants an opportunity to cooperate so that the government can uncover new instances of insider trading. Harlan Protass, a lawyer who represented one of the Galleon defendants, said the number of defendants who pleaded guilty and cooperated was not surprising and there is ample incentive for them to do so. “The benefit that a defendant stands to gain from cooperating with federal prosecutors is directly linked to the quality and quantity of information he can provide,” said Protass, who teaches a class on federal sentencing at Cardozo Law School. “Thus, once a defendant decides to flip, the more wrongful conduct in which he was involved, the better off he ultimately will be when it comes time for sentencing.”

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Diffi- JACQUELINE cult

CLASSIFIEDS/ENTERTAINMENT

BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be too raring to go, and, as a result, someone misreads YOUR HOROSCOPE your enthusiasm as a need or as compliance. Let others know that there are always alternatives. Understand that a friend means well but has distorted information. Tonight: Take a break. Relax. Put your feet up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) So much could be happening — and so quickly at that — you might not want to follow through on your initial plans. Make that OK. Someone who cares a lot starts showing his or her feelings. Juggling friends, plans and different needs challenges you. Tonight: Let go of worries. Be more childlike. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Anchor in and worry less about pressure. More than likely, community commitments will work themselves out. Allow spontaneity and intellect to merge. You feel tugged in many different directions. Tonight: Happy at home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep expressing your various ideas. Others might not seem to be listening, but somehow your words sink in. A child or loved one could be extremely difficult. Try to avoid a battle, if possible. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sensitivity and a willingness to move through a situation can and will make all the difference. Others won’t be as supportive as you might like. They all seem to have a lot of stuff going on. Tonight: Treat yourself to a favorite meal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to your instincts with another person. This associate, friend or loved one could be offering you something you don’t want to say “no” to. Bide your time and see what develops. Above all, be gracious. Tonight: Visit with a pal over the phone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Watch a tendency to go to extremes, whether it is spending, over-eating or taking unnecessary risks. The results could be hard to deal with in the long run. Curb a tendency to be careless or distracted. Tonight: Take some personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Emphasize what is important to you. A meeting could prove to be instrumental. Approach this matter with gentleness and sensitivity. Your awareness of what to do and your priorities might be tough to communicate. Honor your bottom lines. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Roswell Daily Record

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take charge of a situation rather than let it get too far out of control. Your feelings could be hurt easily, and perhaps the trigger was not directed at you. A boss could be difficult as well. Tonight: Count on it being late. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Explore your options rather than negate them, which could happen if you don’t think about your responses. Conversations are lively; someone has unexpected news. The question is whether it is gossip or fact. Tonight: Detach from the day. Later, you will gain another perspective. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Relate with others on a one-on-one level. It might mean more time, but it will be more worthwhile ultimately. A boss, parent or higher-up could push you. Anger could easily bubble up from out of nowhere. Tonight: Make time for a special friend or loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The unexpected occurs way too easily, adding an unneeded stress to your already complicated day.

New Orleans’ musicians keep busy post-Katrina NEW ORLEANS (AP) — More than five years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans’ music scene remains vibrant and lively, despite the fact that some musicians forced from their homes haven’t returned and the doors to many places where they used to entertain remain closed. Still, soul singer Irma Thomas said most changes are so subtle they’ve mostly gone unnoticed thanks in part to national exposure through television shows like the HBO series, “Treme,” events like the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and charitable efforts like Habitat for Humanity’s Musicians Village. “And, that’s a good thing,” Thomas said in an interview. “New Orleans is one of those places that doesn’t take well to extreme changes.” But ever since Aug. 29, 2005, when Katrina struck land and broken levees caused massive flooding that wiped out entire neighborhoods, change is exactly what the city’s undergone. It’s visible from the altered cityscape to the number of people who have yet to return. As of July 2009, the latest Census figures available, there

were 354,850 people in the city, which means New Orleans has recovered 78 percent of its pre-Katrina population. Margie Perez, a vocalist who fronts for several bands in the city, said she believes the return rate for musicians is generally on par with the city’s overall repopulation. “It’s hard to tell, though, because musicians here are at so many different levels,” she said. “There are street musicians who don’t do clubs and then there are people like Irma Thomas who get the great dates in the clubs. There’s probably a good amount who have returned, but there’s also a whole lot who moved on after the storm.” Perez said Katrina took everything she had, forcing her to start over from scratch. “For a few years after, the gigs were few and far between,” she recalled. “It was really tough-going.” She said she wouldn’t have made it without help from the Tipitina Foundation’s Music-Artist Co-Op, which helped link her with disaster aid groups, provided free recording studio time and tips on how to redesign and market her

CDs. “The co-op empowered me, gave me hope and a spirit of camaraderie to let me know I wasn’t alone,” she said. Five years later, she said being a musician here isn’t as hard. “There’s gigs to be had, if you’re willing to look for them and work hard enough for them,” she said. Bass guitarist Donald Ramsey, who was born and raised in New Orleans, agreed. In fact, he recalled getting a gig shortly after the storm. “A lot of club owners on Bourbon Street didn’t suffer damage like those with businesses in the inner city. Just after Katrina, maybe 20 to 25 percent of the clubs I played were available. It’s much better now. I’d say 99 percent of them are back and running. Music wise? It’s on and poppin’. “If you’re proficient on your instrument, then naturally you will get a lot of calls for gigs. How busy you are is all according to who knows you and how well you play,” he said. Ramsey said before the storm he played at Tipitina’s, Sweet Lorraine’s, House of Blues, Maple Leaf and Snug Harbor to name

Report: NY actor says he killed ‘demon’ in his mom

NEW YORK (AP) — An actor accused of hacking his mother to death with a sword felt like the character Neo from the movie “The Matrix” — “hearing voices and feeling powerful” — before the attack, he said in a newspaper interview published Friday. “I didn’t kill her. I killed the demon inside her,” Michael Brea, 31, told the Daily News from a hospital prison ward where he was being held after his arrest on murder and other charges. “I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God,” he told the paper. Relatives issued a statement Friday expressing their support for Brea, whom they called “a compassionate, gentle, intelligent, spiritual and loving man” in need of help. “His family and friends know, without question, that Michael was not well in the moments leading to (his mother’s) death,” the family said. Yanick Brea, 55, had cuts to her head when she was found Tuesday in the bath-

room of her Brooklyn apartment, police said. Brea, who had small roles in ABC’s now-canceled show “Ugly Betty” and the movie “Step Up 3D,” was in the bedroom with a 3-foot-long sword, police said. He told the Daily News he had been living in a private world filled with Masonic symbolism and black magic that led to his act. The day of the attack, he said, a man approached and tried to put a curse on him, and then strangers began speaking to him about his mother as he rode a subway to the apartment he shared with her. “I felt like Neo from ‘The Matrix.’ I began hearing voices and feeling powerful. ... It was a sign,” Brea said. In the 1999 movie, Neo — played by Keanu Reeves — is a computer hacker who comes to realize that his life is an elaborate illusion controlled by malevolent machines. He joins an underground resistance in battling to experience unvarnished reality.

a few. “All of those places are operating now, and there are a bunch of new spots in place too.” Renard Poche, a 40-year veteran guitarist also from New Orleans, said he noticed a slight slowdown in business shortly after the storm that appears to have since normalized. Even with that hiccup, he said, he barely felt it because most of his playing

For the past two years, he’s been performing with pianist Allen Toussaint and only a handful of dates are usually played in the city. “The majority of my income is from the road,” he said.
