U.S.: Document leaks are a crime

WASHINGTON (AP) — Striking back, the Obama administration branded the WikiLeaks release of more than a quarter of a million sensitive files an attack on the United States Monday and raised the prospect of criminal prosecutions in connection with the exposure. The Pentagon detailed new security safeguards, including restraints on small computer flash drives, to make it harder for any one person to copy and reveal so many secrets.

The young Army Pfc. suspected of stealing the diplomatic memos, many of them classified, and feeding them to WikiLeaks may have defeated Pentagon security systems using little more than a Lady Gaga CD and a portable computer memory stick.

The soldier, Bradley Manning, has not been charged in the latest release of internal U.S. government documents. But officials said he is the prime suspect partly because of his own description of how he

pulled off a staggering heist of classified and restricted material.

“No one suspected a thing,” Manning told a confidant afterward, according to a log of his computer chat published by Wired.com. “I didn’t even have to hide anything.”

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton asserted Monday that WikiLeaks acted illegally in posting the material. She said the administration was taking “aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information.”

Attorney General Eric Holder said the government was mounting a criminal investigation, and the Pentagon was tightening access to information, including restricting the use of computer storage devices such as CDs and flash drives.

“This is not saber-rattling,” Holder said. Anyone found to have broken American law “will be held responsible.”

Holder said the latest disclosure, involving classified and sensitive

George Romero, 70, and his wife, Celia, 65, died after officials say an electrical fire started in the couple’s garage. It spread to the rest of the home at 711 N. Orchard Ave. Roswell Fire Department Chief James Salas called the blaze an accident and blamed over-loading electrical cords as the cause.

Salas said the couple likely died from smoke inhalation and urged all city residents to install and maintain smoke detectors in their homes.

“A smoke detector most likely would have saved their lives,” he said. “There was a smoke detector in the residence but it was not

Pearce goes on listening tour Arrests made after disturbance at church MATTHEW ARCO RECORD STAFF WRITER

Congressman-elect Steve Pearce launched a listening tour in Roswell Monday, as he prepares to return to Washington following a two-year hiatus.

Pearce, R-N.M., took questions on a wide range of issues during the nearly two-hour event at the Chaves County Administrative Center. He says the 17-city stop in southern New Mexico is aimed at finding ideas for job creation and spurring the economy. “(We want to) get a local flavor of the issues,” said Pearce, while adding, “We must grow the economy.”

Obama calls for 2-year freeze on federal pay

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday proposed a twoyear freeze of the salaries of some 2 million federal workers, trying to seize the deficit-cutting initiative from Republicans with a sudden, dramatic stroke.

Though signaling White House concern over record deficits, the freeze would make only a tiny dent in annual deficits or the nation’s $14 trillion debt.

“Small businesses and families are tightening their belts,” Obama said in brief remarks at the White House. “The government should, too.” The administration said the plan was designed to save more than $5 billion over the first two years.

The proposal, which must be approved by Congress, would not apply to the military, but it would af fect all others on the Executive Branch payroll.

It would not affect members of Congress or their staffs, defense contractors, postal workers or federal court judges and workers.

Obama’s move was an

attempt to get in front of Republican plans to slash federal pay and the workforce next year, when they will flex more legislative muscle than now. It came a day ahead of Obama’s meeting at the White House with both Republicans and Democratic leaders — his first with Republicans since the midterm elections — and two days before the deadline for recommendations by his deficit-reduction commission.

The president said the economy and federal spending were at the top of the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, one he said he hoped “will mark a first step towards a new and productive working relationship” between the two parties. Because of GOP midter m gains, “we now have a shared responsibility to deliver for the American people on the issues that define not only these times but our future,” Obama said.

House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio, on track to become House speaker in January, said

committee that oversees federal personnel issues, called Obama’s federal salary freeze “long overdue.” But labor union leaders balked at it.

and “Republicans Democrats don’t have to wait until January to cut spending and stop all the tax hikes. We can — and should — start right now,” Boehner said in a statement. He also suggested that Obama was taking a page from the GOP playbook.

The freeze would take effect on Jan. 1, assuming the lame-duck Congress approves the move by the end of this year. The 2012 pay freeze will be included

by Obama as part of his fiscal 2012 budget submission to Congress, due early next year.

In the past, Congress has generally gone along with presidential recommenda-

tions on federal worker pay levels.

Without congressional action, federal employees would automatically get a 0.9 percent increase under the formula set by a 1990 law. They received a 1.9 percent pay increase this year.

Rep. Darrell Issa, RCalif., in line to be the next chair man of the House

John Gage, president of the 600,000-member American Federation of Government Employees, called the decision “a slap at working people. ... To symbolically hit at federal employees I think is just wrong.” He said the move would not really save as much as the White House claims because federal employees often get just a fraction of projected raises.

Colleen Kelley, head of the 150,000-member National Treasury Employees Union, said union officials would try to derail the proposal in Congress. She may find some sympathy with union-friendly Democrats still in control for another month.

“We’re going to do everything we can to make this not happen and to explore all our options,” Kelley said.

Sales could top $1B Residents unnerved by car bomb plot on Cyber Monday NEW YORK (AP) — Cyber Monday started as a gimmick to get people to shop at their desks on the first workday after Thanksgiving. But if you promote something enough, it can take on a life of its own.

This year, stores swamped customers with online ads and e-mail deals, and sales could top $1 billion, making it bigger than any single shopping day last year.

Online sales were already running 15 percent ahead of last year’s by 3 p.m. Monday, with the biggest shopping hours of the day still to come, according to IBM’s Coremetrics tracking service.

“The numbers are really strong,” said the service’s chief strategy officer, John Squire, who added that he expects Cyber Monday to be the biggest online shopping day of the season.

The Monday after Thanksgiving was dubbed Cyber Monday by the National Retail Federation trade group in 2005 to describe the unofficial kickoff to the online shopping season. The idea was that people returning to work after the long weekend would shop at their desks.

It never really was the busiest online shopping day of the year.

But like any good marketing angle, it spawned imitation. Nearly 90 percent of U.S. retailers offered some kind of Cyber Monday promotion this year, targeting shoppers who didn’t want to venture out at 4 a.m. for those in-store deals. In 2007, 72 percent offered a Cyber Monday promotion.

“Retailers are doing everything they can to build up and extend the event aspect of it — tweeting deals every hour, running Cyber Monday ads — like it’s such a big thing you can’t miss out on,” said Stacy Landreth Grau, associate professor of marketing at Texas Christian University’s Neeley School of Business.

Rachel Bergman, general manager of e-mail marketing service Experian CheetahMail, said this year the company sent out several hundred million Cyber Monday promotional e-mails, 40 percent more than last year — on behalf of clients like Borders, J. Jill and Bass Pro Shops.

It has rarely been the biggest online shopping day of the holiday season, however — last year it was No. 2 — and this year, online deals have been stretched by retailers throughout the weekend.

Historically the biggest online shopping day of the year comes sometime in mid-December, when shoppers face deadlines for ordering to ensure delivery by Christmas Eve. Last year, it was Dec. 15, according to online research firm ComScore.

But this year, shoppers seem to be in the mood to spend more. On Thanksgiving Day, usually quiet for online shopping, Americans spent $407 million online, 28 percent more than last year. They spent nearly $650 million online the following day, up 9 percent.

RECYCLE

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Some residents of this famously liberal city are unnerved, not only by a plot to bomb an annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony last week but also by the police tactics in the case.

They questioned whether federal agents crossed the line by training 19-year-old Somali-American Mohamed O. Mohamud to blow up a bomb, giving him $3,000 cash to rent an apartment and providing him with a fake bomb.

The FBI affidavit “was a picture painted to make the suspect sound like a dangerous terrorist,” said Portland photographer Rich Burroughs. “I don’t think it’s clear at all that this person would have ever had access to even a fake bomb if not for the FBI.” Mohamud’s defense lawyer said in court on Monday that agents groomed his client and timed his arrest for publicity’s sake.

Public defender Stephen Sady focused on the FBI’s failed attempt to record a first conversation between Mohamud and an FBI undercover operative. “In the cases involving potential entrapment, it’s the initial meeting that matters,” Sady said.

Attor ney General Eric Holder defended the agents on Monday, rejecting entrapment accusations.

Once the undercover operation began, Mohamud, who of ficials said had no formal ties to foreign terror groups, “chose at every step to continue” with the bombing plot, Holder said.

To be sure, many Portlanders were unsettled that a terror plot could unfold in their backyard — in Pioneer Courthouse Square, as thousands cheered the tree lighting — and not in

much higher-profile cities such as New York or Los Angeles.

At a time when people are focused on body scans and intrusive pat-downs to prevent terrorist attacks, some Portlanders wondered if the FBI had gone too far and unnecessarily scared residents.

“What is distressing about the incident is not so much that the FBI arrested or otherwise intervened,” said resident Joe Clement, 24, “but that the FBI used him to create a scenario that scared a lot of people.”

It is not unusual in Portland for actions by federal agents to be met with skepticism and criticism.

Portland was the first city in the nation to pull its officers from the FBI’s terrorism task force in 2005. The move came after the FBI wrongfully arrested a Portland attorney as a suspect in the 2004 Madrid train bombings — a mistake that prompted an FBI apology.

“I don’t think there will

be much serious debate as to whether or not (Mohamud) should have been a person worth looking into,” said resident Christopher Frankonis, 41.

“Portland being Portland, and Portland being liberal, it will understand and accept” it.

But Portland being what it is, residents will “still want answers to questions about how it all went down,” he said.

The Portland plot was reminiscent of other recent arrests. A 34-year-old Pakistani-American was accused of targeting the Washington, D.C., subway system in October and authorities say a 19-yearold Jordanian man tried to bring down a Dallas building with a truck bomb in Sept. 2009. In both cases, federal agents had set up elaborate ruses to ensnare the men.

In Mohamud’s case, the FBI set up a sting operation to investigate him after receiving a tip.

Two undercover federal agents led Mohamud to believe he could detonate a bomb with a cell phone, helped him choose an apartment in Portland and instructed him to buy the equipment necessary to trigger the fake device.

Authorities say he parked a van full of explosives near the square on Friday night and was arrested shortly after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would blow up the bomb. He was charged with attempting to detonate a weapon of mass destruction.

Kim Bissett, a for mer student of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said she moved to Portland because it is a liberal city. She said most of the anger was from the suburbs, not from city residents.

“The angriest people are those from the suburbs, not necessarily Portland, which is very accepting,” Bissett said.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Caller blames nicotine

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee say a man accused of making three bogus calls to 911 told them he was bored and anxious because he had not smoked a cigarette in two days.

Twenty-year -old Alex Lee Baker of Clarksville was charged with making the calls Sunday during a 35-minute stretch.

The first caller claimed to be a witness to a murder. The second claimed he had been stabbed, while the third said a woman had been killed and buried.

Police said Monday that all the calls originated from a phone owned by Baker, who remained jailed on $15,000 bond. A spokesman said Baker had not retained a lawyer.

Pickup stuck in tree top

EVANS CITY, Pa. (AP) — Rescue crews had to use ropes and ladders to retrieve a western Pennsylvania woman from her pickup truck after it ran off a road and landed in tree tops about 30 feet above ground in a ravine.

Police say they’ll be citing 33-year-old Dana Bowser for driving too fast for conditions on Route 68 near Evans City. That’s about 25 miles north of Pittsburgh.

State police say Bowser lost control near a culvert that carries the highway over Connoquenessing (kaw-nuhkwah-NESS’-ing) Creek. Police say Bowser told them the road was icy.

Rescue workers say Bowser was conscious and able to communicate with workers. Most importantly, they say she didn’t panic as they worked to reach her in the precarious position.

She was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.

Flying fruit lid

DETROIT (AP) — A man who says he was knocked unconscious when a lid exploded off a jar of fruit and hit him in the face was offered $150,000 to settle his lawsuit against a grocer and a fruit company.

Del Monte Foods of San Francisco and Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. insist there’s no credible evidence that the jar was unsafe, but they made the offer Tuesday after a judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit by Darryl Alexander of Southfield, Mich.

Alexander’s lawyer, Mark Miller, said the offer is too low because his client has permanent eye damage.

Alexander said the stubborn lid flew through the air and struck him in the eye after he hit it with the rubber handle of a screwdriver in April 2008. He said he first placed the jar of Orchard Select mixed fruit under warm water.

“It happened so fast. I just had no time to react. ... I staggered, lost consciousness and fell to the floor. I eventually screamed for my wife,” Alexander, 56, said when interviewed during a deposition last December.

Kroger and Del Monte made the $150,000 offer this week, about a month after U.S. District Judge Patrick Duggan cleared the way for a trial by refusing to throw out much of the lawsuit. A trial date has not been set.

Woman impersonated surgeon

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Police arrested a woman in Idaho’s capital city after they say she impersonated a plastic surgeon and conducted breast exams on at least two women in local bars.

Kristina B. Ross was arrested Tuesday and jailed on accusations of unlicensed practice of medicine.

It all started earlier this month, when Boise police were called to a downtown medical office by employees of a licensed plastic surgeon.

Police say the office was getting calls from prospective patients who wanted to see a Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna.

But no doctor by that name worked at the office.

Police got contact information for the women who had called, interviewed them — and then identified the 37year-old Ross, who isn’t licensed to practice medicine.

A phone listing for a Kristina Ross in Boise was disconnected.

Detectives say they fear there may be others who had fake exams.

Armed Wis. high school student shot self

MARINETTE, Wis. (AP) — A student armed with a handgun held nearly two dozen students and a teacher hostage in a Wisconsin high school for about five hours before shooting himself when police broke into the classroom, authorities said Monday. No other injuries were reported.

Officers who were outside the Marinette High School classroom said they heard three gunshots shortly after 8 p.m. and busted through the door, said Police Chief Jeff Skorik. The 15-year-old male gunman then shot himself.

Skorik said the teen was taken to an area hospital and his condition was not immediately known Monday night.

Five of the 23 students who had been taken hostage about 3 p.m. had been released about 20 minutes before police entered the classroom because they told the gunman they had to use the bathroom, Skorik said.

The other 18 students and the female teacher, who had acted as a mediator between the male hostage-taker and authorities, were released unharmed once officers were inside.

Skorik said the gunman had refused to communicate with officials during the standoff, but allowed the teacher to speak with authorities by phone.

Deficit reduction plan will take guts and sacrifice

After years of delivering truckloads of federal dollars to New Mexico, Pete Domenici has returned to an old love — deficit reduction. Lately he and former White House budget director Alice Rivlin stepped up to champion the Bipartisan Policy Center’s plan to reduce the deficit.

Domenici, Rivlin and their fellow travelers have the luxury of proposing measures their former bases might find disturbing. The plan, 60 percent spending cuts and 40 percent tax increases, would reduce the budget deficit by $5.9 trillion over the next nine years.

There’s something for everyone to like and dislike, but the most controversial would be a new 6.5 percent national sales tax, an overhaul of Medicare in 2018, and cuts in Social Security benefits. Like the plan advanced by the president’s commission, we’ve heard objections from the right and the left, along with glum pre-

SHERRY ROBINSON

ALL SHE WROTE

dictions that neither plan will survive the political blast furnace.

Still, Domenici’s keen political instincts haven’t dimmed in the last year, so I doubt he would invest his energies in a futile exercise.

“If you don’t dream of something like this and have the guts to expect more of people than they’re currently exhibiting, it wouldn’t be worthwhile,” he told The Daily Beast, an online newspaper.

And yet, Domenici is a realist, and he calls for selflessness and sacrifice.

“The definition of ‘leader’ is going to be somebody, man or woman, who understands the problem and says, ‘I’m going to vote for things on the basis of whether they’re good for America … not whether they’re good for my election,’” he said.

In other words, our lawmakers will have to risk their political careers to do the right thing. And they have to compromise.

To those who question that likelihood, Domenici and Rivlin wrote in the Washington Post: “Our plan shows that a group of Democrats and Republicans (including 19 former White House and Cabinet officials; former Senate and House members; former governors and mayors; and business, labor and other leaders) can craft a viable blueprint to tackle the nation’s most serious longterm economic challenges.”

It was, in fact, heartening that members of the president’s com-

mission and the Domenici-Rivlin panel could not only listen to each other but give up some sacred cows. “This is going to require compromise, even from someone as conservative as me,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican and commission member.

The public must see the urgency and make personal sacrifices, just as people did during World War II, Domenici says.

Otherwise, an unchecked federal debt “will overtake the economy itself, increasing our dependence on China and other foreign lenders, draining our resources and reducing our living standards. This risks economic crisis and threatens to turn America into a second-rate power,” Domenici and Rivlin wrote.

“Everybody must sacrifice,” Domenici said at a news conference, so that “a quiet killer that is eating away at the foundations of

America ... will not eat us alive.”

This was Domenici’s message in September when he spoke at the Domenici Public Policy Conference in Las Cruces: “Our children, who we promised a great life, would probably have a second-rate standard of living. And if you don’t feel it yet, you should.

We’re kind of getting poorer.”

The nation will eventually have to pay so much in interest that there won’t be much left for anything else, he said. And he warned that cuts alone won’t get us to where we need to be. He should have added that the federal trough won’t be nearly so generous with New Mexico.

This is familiar turf to Domenici. In 1986, as Congress and President Reagan grappled halfheartedly with a record deficit, Domenici wrote, “The deficit, simply put, remains the foremost policy and political problem confronting the nation.” © New Mexico News Services 2010

Response required in Korea

No one wants the tensions between North and South Korea to escalate into full-scale combat. But neither can North Korea be allowed to attack its neighbor at will.

Convincing the North of that demands a firm response to its brazen and apparently unprovoked attack last week on a South Korean border island, which triggered an exchange of fire and left two South Korean marines dead.

President Barack Obama has promised a “unified response,” meaning he will work with U.S. allies on an appropriate answer to North Korea’s aggression. That’s appropriate.

But it can’t be a timid response. North Korea is becoming increasingly aggressive and must be shown that its current path will lead to its own destruction. Much depends on how China reacts.

China is North Korea’s sponsor and has the most influence over the erratic regime.

All China has said publicly is that the United States, Japan and South Korea should agree to return to the Six Party talks, the bargaining pact aimed at curbing North Korea’s bad behavior.

Rewarding North Korea’s military attack with an agreement to resume diplomatic negotiations would be a mistake. North Korea must be weaned of the idea that whenever it wants concessions from the West, all it has to do is rattle its sabers.

In this case, the North wants an easing of economic sanctions. But if anything, those sanctions should get tougher. And because North Korea boasted again that it is enhancing its nuclear capabilities, the sanctions perhaps should be joined by a naval blockade of North Korean harbors.

Attacking a sovereign nation without being provoked is serious business, and North Korea should be made to understand that.

There is a pattern of behavior at work. In March, the North fired a torpedo at a South Korean warship, sinking the vessel and killing 46 sailors.

China is in the best position to stop this aggression and has the most at stake. A war in the region would disrupt China’s lucrative trade with the West and put at risk the billions of dollars it has invested in building a trade infrastructure.

The Chinese must take the lead in pressuring North Korea to cease and desist.

But if it doesn’t, the United States must be prepared to stand with its longtime ally South Korea. The dispatching of a U.S. aircraft carrier to the waters off the Korean Peninsula was a good start.

The South has promised an all-out response to the next attack. It has that right.

But everything possible should be done to discourage North Korea from its next provocation. That would be best accomplished with more pressure and a unified show of condemnation by a broad array of nations, including China.

The world cannot tolerate a rogue regime launching military attacks whenever it pleases, particularly when that regime is nuclear-armed and run by a lunatic.

Better to deal with North Korea assertively now than to wait until its nuclear threat becomes even greater.

Guest Editorial The Detroit News DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your article on severe cramping and muscle spasms. I took 1,000 IU of vitamin D with my calcium for 10 months. I was up from 10 to 20 times a night with severe, excruciating cramps. Then I ran out of vitamin D and did not take it for a couple of days. I had no cramps during this time.

Books offer tips for a traditional New Mexico Christmas Roswell Daily Record

LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

Winter is the season for baking delicious cookies and other culinary treats. The Cookie Cutter Collectors Club sponsors Cookie Cutter Week, celebrating both the cookies and the collecting of imaginatively designed cookie cutters. Although Christmas trees, gingerbread men and stars are most popular during the winter holidays, there are hundreds of shapes available. This is also Recipe Greetings for the Holidays Week, encouraging cooks to share recipes with family and friends.

When sending out Christmas cards, consider enclosing recipes that are family classics, or maybe new selections that could become a family classic. New Mexicans might enclose recipes featuring our state cookie, the biscochito, and the state vegetables, frijoles (pinto beans) and chile. Both are rich in nutritional value and are a unique part of the New Mexican diet. When ordering a chile dish, the question often asked is “red or green?” If the answer is Christmas, it is red and green chile served together.

other Southwester n states is unique when compared to what many people consider traditional holiday celebrations. Luminarias, farolitos, chile ristras and Las Posadas are typical traditions.

Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration commemorated by a couple traveling to nine different homes on nine successive nights in search for a posada, or inn, much as Mary and Joseph searched for a place for Mary to give birth. Tomás González, reference staff, highlights a few of the books that will enlighten readers about New Mexican customs.

Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert shares some of those traditions in her book “The Good Life: New Mexico T raditions and Food,” which was first published in 1949 and is now in its third edition.

Gilbert was born in New Mexico in 1894 on a small ranch near Las Vegas, N.M. In this book she tells how her family and many other Hispanic families grew up with traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation from Spanish colonial times up until present day. The holiday preparations included harvesting sugar cane to turn

In 1981, the United States and the Soviet Union opened negotiations in Geneva aimed at reducing nuclear weapons in Europe.

Ten years ago: Al Gore’s lawyers battled for his political survival in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts; meanwhile, GOP lawmakers in Tallahassee moved to award the presidency to George W. Bush in case the courts did not by appointing their own slate of electors.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush gave an unflinching defense of his Iraq war strategy in a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy, refusing to set a timetable for troop withdrawals and asserting that once-shaky Iraqi troops were proving increasingly capable. Shimon Peres quit Israel’s Labor Party, his political home of six decades, to campaign for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s new organization.

Actress Jean Parker died in Woodland Hills, Calif. at age 90.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your article on severe cramping and muscle spasms. I took 1,000 IU of vitamin D with my calcium for 10 months. I was up from 10 to 20 times a night with severe, excruciating cramps. Then I ran out of vitamin D and did not take it for a couple of days. I had no cramps during this time. I tried a lower dose of D two more times. The cramps started immediately. I stopped the D again and am finally cramp-free.

Christine Mather’s “Santa Fe Christmas” also provides an insight into New Mexico culture and traditions for the holiday season. Although the book focuses mainly on Santa Fe, many of these same activities and traditions may be found throughout New Mexico. The spotlighted decorations and events feature luminarias and farolitos, chile ristras, bread dough ornaments, rubber stamp cards and Las Posadas, as Mary and Joseph search for a place for Mary to give birth. In addition to the festive holiday recipes, Mather supplies a guide where items may be purchased.

Christmas designer Richard Clawson’s “Christmas Celebration: Santa Fe Traditions Food and Crafts” offers a plethora of traditions and ideas, recipes and party plans, along with decoration and gift crafts. He provides clear, detailed instructions for making innovative ornaments, decorations and gifts out of inexpensive, easy-to-find materials.

The Roswell Daily Record’s Business Review Page is a great way for a business to advertise. The Business Review Pages run three times a week, with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday pages.

There are a few spots available right now on the Tuesday and Thursday pages. We usually have a “waiting list”.

The Daily Record’s Sarah Juarez can fill you in on the complete details.

Phone Sarah at 6227710 - ext. 15.

The basic set-up is as follows: You sign up and we run your ad on the bottom half of the Business Review Page on it’s assigned day (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) each week. We have a maximum of twentysix ads running per page.

After advertising weekly for six months, you will receive a ‘free feature article’ (then again six months after your first free one) as your “Thank

You!” for using the Business Review Page.

This six month schedule comes from having a maximum of twenty-six advertisers per page and a fifty-two week year.

With ads starting as low as $26.78 (including tax,) per week, the Business Review Page is ideal for businesses large and small to obtain effective advertising on a small budget.

The feature article typically uses two photographs and the equivalent of two double-spaced typewritten pages of information on your business. It’s an ad that looks like a written story. This info usually consists of what you have to offer (services and/or product,) who you are (history,) where you are located, when you are open and how to get in touch with you.

The typical layout can be altered to fit your circumstance. If you want three pictures (like this page,) we can cut down on the article’s length. We do what ever works best for

you.

Bill Flynt is the Business Review Page Editor.

He takes the photographs and either writes the text (with your input,) or uses an article that you provide for your feature story. We can also use your

photographs, if you desire.

Many local business owners have found this feature to be an ideal way for them to advertise economically. They have an ad in the Roswell Daily Record once a week, on their regular day, and then they have

a half page write-up with pictures twice a year to tell the story of their business.

Call Sarah Juarez at 622-7710, ext. 15, for complete information and prices.

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.

The family would like to send a special thank you to 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.

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Roswell girls basketball coach Joe Carpenter said before Monday’s game that his team was r eady to explode on someone after a week’s worth of practices.

He was right and Ruidoso was the victim.

The Lady Coyotes (2-0) poured in 25 first-quarter points and cruised to a 65-32 win over the Warriors at the Coyote Den inside Roswell High School.

“I think it does make us better. We got to play some kids, extend our bench and get some quality minutes for some of the kids,” Carpenter said after the game. “I think it’s going to benefit (the team) in the long run because they needed a game where they could get out there and not be all over themselves.”

Monday’s game was all but decided by the end of the first quarter.

Roswell’s full-court press forced 12 straight Ruidoso turnovers to start the game as the Coyotes scored the first 23 points of the game.

Marika T rujillo scored the first five and Shanice

Steenholdt also had a run of five straight. In all, six different Coyotes scored during the stretch.

It took Ruidoso mor e than 5 1/2 minutes to even get off a shot attempt and more than 7 minutes to score its first points of the game.

Adrianna Herr era got that first Warrior basket with 48.2 seconds. She finished as Ruidoso’s only double-digit scorer with 11.

Rikki Or nelas’ bucket with 5.6 ticks left made it 25-2 after one.

Ruidoso went another 3plus minutes without scoring to start the second quarter, while Roswell pushed its lead out to 352 thanks to four points each fr om T rujillo and Steenholdt.

Roswell took a 43-6 lead into the break, prompting a running clock to begin the second half.

Ruidoso (1-1) found a groove in the third quarter, outscoring the Coyotes 15-4 to make it 47-21.

Roswell went the final 6:24 of the period without scoring.

“We were real pathetic there in the third quarter,” Carpenter said. “Not that (Ruidoso) wasn’t shooting the ball well, but we just

weren’t getting back on defense.

“We just started playing defense with our ar ms, swinging them and reaching, and that’s not good Roswell High Coyote basketball. It’s correctable, though.”

Roswell did correct it in the fourth quarter, forcing seven Warriors turnovers en route to winning the quarter 18-11 for a 33point win.

Steenholdt led all scorers with 15 points despite battling some struggles from the field.

“No concern,” Carpenter said of his senior post who finished just 7 of 16 from the field. “She’s been seeing double and triple teams since the summer and I think she was kind of shocked to see one-onone play. She was looking for the double team and triple team and it never did come.

“I told her, ‘hey, you should light it up tonight.’

I think she pressed a little bit.”

Diana Carrillo and Trujillo each had double figures as well, with Carrillo scoring 14 and T rujillo adding 12.

There is no substitution for experience and the Valley Christian boys basketball team showed why in its 59-48 win over the Goddard junior varsity team, Monday.

Taylor Line and Gus Gray led the Lions (1-0) with 18 points each, while Logan Rader chipped in with 17 points.

Those three, along with Billy “The human floor-burn” Kolker give coach Randy L yons a big advantage with their experience.

“Those ar e the consistent players because they’ve had the most experience,” he said about those four players. “They do a really good job. They help each other and cover each other most of the time. Having them is huge because they pretty much know what they should do and how to go about it.”

The Lions started off strong as they outscored the Rockets 2716 in the first half, behind some unselfish play offensively and a stout defense.

In the second quarter, VCA went on an 13-0 run to break open a tight game. The run was kick-started by a defense that forced four consecutive Rocket turnovers.

Offensively, the Lions would pass up good looks for better

attempts.

The best example of that came in the final 2 minutes of the second quarter when VCA controlled the ball for nearly 50 seconds, befor e dumping it of f down low to Gray, who was fouled and went to the line.

That type of unselfishness and ball movement is what the Lions’ offense is meant to do, according to Lyons.

“That is the trademark of the offense,” he said. “They are a really unselfish team. I don’t know what the scoring was, but I know three players scored the bulk of it. But everybody kind of participated in it and that is kind of the idea.

“The offense is designed to be unselfish. Nobody knows who is going to score or when. That’s why it makes it dif ficult to defend.”

The Rockets made a run in the fourth quarter, cutting the lead to 45-36, but a layup by Rader and a bucket by Line killed the Rocket rally.

L yons was pleased with how his team played in its first game, although he admits they have to be more consistent.

“I thought we played fairly hard,” he said. “But we are not in shape yet. For the first game, their effort was there and they

ROMO THROWS PASSES AT PRACTICE

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Since breaking his left collarbone, Tony Romo has done all the prescribed rehabilitation work and kept the rest of his body in shape. He goes to all meetings and watches games from the sideline.

And Monday, five weeks after he was hurt, Romo was back on the Dallas Cowboys practice field throwing passes. They were only soft tosses during warm-ups, but it shows progress and his desire to return.

“The mindset we have as an organization is to get him as healthy as we can as quickly as we can,” interim coach Jason Garrett said. “He has his mindset to come back as quickly as he can.”

Romo broke his left collarbone on Oct. 25. The target date for a return has been the second-to-last game, Dec. 25 at Arizona.

Based on that, he would miss three more games: at Indianapolis on Sunday, then home games against Philadelphia and Washington.

Dallas already is 3-8 and guaranteed not to have a winning record, so it could be pointless to risk further injury to such an important player.

“I don’t want to get into a hypothetical,” Garrett said.

“We will make those decisions when we cross that bridge.”

The Cowboys have made a return possible by not putting Romo on injured reserve. The injury did not require surgery, just rest and rehab.

“We have to make a medical decision,” Garrett said. “How is he doing? Is that thing really healing up?

Can he play in an NFL game here?

DENVER (AP) — This is another tape the Denver Broncos might not want to watch.

By the time the Broncos’ 20-point fourth-quarter rally fell short in a 36-33 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, Invesco Field was mostly empty, and dark stor m clouds hung over both the city and its tar nished football franchise.

The fans have had it with a tar nished team that’s been in the news for the wrong reasons: trades gone bad, a captain’s DUI arrest, and now a videotaping scandal that cost an underling his job and coach Josh McDaniels and the team $50,000 each.

The NFL ruled that McDaniels didn’t view video chief Steve Scarnecchia’s illicit 6-minute tape of the San Francisco 49ers’ practice in London last month but punished him for not immediately reporting the infraction to the league as required.

The commissioner wants to meet with the fired videographer this week and could reopen its investigation of the Broncos if he provides evidence this wasn’t an isolated incident as the league concluded.

The Broncos’ sixth loss in their last eight home games featured more of the same troubles that have tormented them all season: a sieve of a defense that’s allowing a league-worst 35.9 points a game and an inability to counter opponents’ adjustments.

After falling behind 10-0 early, the Rams (5-6), who moved into a tie with Seattle for first place in the NFC West, outscored the Broncos 33-3.

Rams rookie Sam Bradford had his first 300-yard game and team owner Stan Kroenke — whose Denverbased sports empire includes the Nuggets, Avalanche and the MSL champion Rapids — had a game ball courtesy of Steven Jackson tucked under his

arm as he congratulated his players on the triumph.

“This was a huge step for this team, taking it to the next level,” Bradford said of his first road win. “It’s obviously something we’ve struggled with earlier in the year. But to finally clear that hurdle, I feel like only things can get better now.”

The Broncos (3-8) are feeling the same way.

Embattled coach Josh McDaniels declined to say much more about the scandal that cost video operations director Steve Scarnecchia his job and could lead to his banishment from the NFL when he meets with commissioner Roger Goodell.

Scarnecchia was part of New England’s video staff that was involved in the original Spygate scandal four years ago, and McDaniels declined to respond to new reports he told his staff on Friday that the Broncos’ videotaping See BRONCOS, Page B2

T aylor Line and Gus Gray led the Lions (1-0) with 18 points each, while Logan Rader chipped in with 17 points.

Those three, along with Billy “The human floor -bur n” Kolker give coach Randy L yons a big advantage with their experience.

“Those are the consistent players because they’ve had the most experience,” he said about those four players. “They do a r eally good job.

They help each other and cover each other most of the time.

Having them is huge because they pretty much know what

Bowlen says McDaniels’ job is safe for now

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen says embattled coach Josh McDaniels’ job is safe.

Yet, after telling AOL FanHouse that McDaniels would be back in 2011, Bowlen issued a statement Monday night that seemed to back off that a bit.

Bowlen’s statement said that while the season has been a trying and disappointing one, “Josh McDaniels is the head coach of the Broncos, and you always strive for stability at that position.”

He added that with five games left, “we will continue to monitor the progress of the team and evaluate what’s in the best interest of this franchise.”

Earlier, Bowlen told AOL, “I’m not interested in making a coaching change,” despite the team’s 5-16 slide and the embarrassing videotaping scandal that has rocked the franchise.

A message left with McDaniels on Monday night wasn’t immediately returned.

At his weekly news conference earlier in the day, McDaniels said he wasn’t dwelling on whether the Broncos’ problems on and off the field would cost him his job.

“It’s not, you know, not my decision, not something that’s in my control,” McDaniels said. “I’m just going to worry about what I can focus on and try to control the things that I can control.”

Denver’s second-year coach said his only focus is on trying to salvage a 3-8 season sullied by a videotaping scandal that cost him and the team $50,000 each and

resulted in a subordinate’s firing over the weekend.

DEAR ABBY: My children think that “because their friends can” they should be able to get, buy or do something. I encounter this problem often, especially when it’s bedtime.

My children are 10 and 13, and they need to learn to appreciate the good parents they have because we don’t give in to all of their requests.

Abby, any suggestions that may help us with this situation would be appreciated.

GOOD PARENTS IN WOODSTOCK, ILL. DEAR GOOD PARENTS: At 10 and 13, your children are old enough to understand the concept that not all families are alike.

Because a friend of theirs enjoys a privilege or has something they don’t have does not mean that your children must.

I wish you had been more specific about the problem that occurs at bedtime. If they are arguing about the hour, they need to understand that for them to perform well in school they need a solid night’s sleep. It is well-known that sleepdeprived kids can’t learn.

If your children are asking for “things,” then let me remind you that parents who grant a child’s every wish fail to teach that child one of life’s most important lessons: how to cope with disappointDear Heloise:

I recently had my retirement and 80th birthday celebration. I suggested in the invitation that my guests may bring A FOOD ITEM for donation in lieu of a gift for me. I got this idea from a previous hint in your column I read in the San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times. I was hoping to raise 80 pounds of food, because I was turning 80. I actually received 291 pounds of food items. What a great idea, and what a great feeling!

ment. So please don’t feel guilty about drawing the line, or asking your children how they plan to earn whatever it is they’re asking for.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-year-old college student who has found the man of my dreams. We have been dating for a year and a half and have been through a lot together. We both believe it is acceptable (and in our case, preferable) for a woman to be a stay-at-home mother and wife. I do not have a problem with having dinner on the table when he arrives home.

However, the number of people who have deemed our views “unacceptable” and “disgraceful” is astounding. I was actually spit on by a woman who accused me of being “the problem with women.” She called me “weak” and a disappointment to womanhood across the nation. I’m so offended by her

attack.

Am I wrong in thinking it is fine for a woman to be taken care of by her husband?

Should I feel the need to be a working mom and wife? Am I too traditional for modern times? Please help me to see the whole picture.

LUCKY LADY IN LARAMIE

DEAR LUCKY LADY: The personal attack on you was uncalled for, and the woman who spat on you was hardly a role model for liberated women across the nation. Whether you choose to try to juggle a marriage and a career is a personal decision. Not every woman is able to manage it successfully.

That said, many households in the U.S. are headed by single women, and it usually wasn’t a matter of choice.

That’s why it’s so important for women to complete their education before being married and to be qualified for a career should the need arise.

And it’s also why having a prenuptial agreement in place before heading for the altar is advisable.

While it isn’t wrong to think it is fine for a woman to be taken care of by her husband, the truth is it doesn’t always work out that way.

And it couldn’t hurt you to have a few years of work experience before starting a family — just in case. ful! If only one in 10 people did this, the food banks would be stocked all the time!

Folks, please give this heart hint consideration, and if you do have a “food bank party,” first check to see what items local food banks need.

Heloise

Dear Heloise: With sanitary concerns due to the mandatory removal of shoes to pass through most airport security checkpoints, I’ve found a thin, low-cut sock works perfectly in a pinch over my family’s regular stockings or socks. I just put the “socklets” in a small plastic bag, and place it in my purse or carry-on prior to exiting the screening checkpoint. No expense for disposable footwear, and no dirt or germs in our shoes!

Donna, via e-mail Dear Heloise: My family has adopted many of your suggestions into our everyday lives. One of our favorites was a suggestion to laminate the pictures from a daily calendar. We now have a lovely collection of cat place mats created from last year’s wall calendar. They have been a big hit at our weekly bookclub meetings.

The Duncan Family, via e-mail

Dear Heloise: Bathmats are expensive, and after many washings the rubber on the bottom wears out, and they become slippery and dangerous. I cut a large piece of rubberized closet shelving to put under the bathmat, and it’s safe again.

The shelving does not have to be attached. Just lay it on the floor and put the mat on top.

Henrietta in Toms River, N.J.

Dear Heloise: We have a painting in our hallway and attached little rubber “feet” on the bottom corners to keep the painting straight. Well, one of those little feet decided to leave a sticky brown streak down the wall. I grabbed the white vinegar and a terry rag, and slowly removed every trace of that sticky goo from the wall. I was so pleased!

‘Airplane!,’ ‘Forbidden Planet’ actor Leslie Nielsen dies

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite decades spent playing sober commanders and serious captains, Leslie Nielsen insisted that he was always made for comedy. He proved it in his career’s second act.

“Surely you can’t be serious,” an airline passenger says to Nielsen in “Airplane!,” the 1980 hit that turned the actor from dramatic leading man to comic star.

“I am serious,” Nielsen replies. “And don’t call me Shirley.”

The line was probably his most famous — and a perfect distillation of his career.

Nielsen, the dramatic lead in “Forbidden Planet” and “The Poseidon Adventure” and the bumbling detective Frank Drebin in “The Naked Gun” comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.

The Canada native died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home, surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.

“We can be grateful that his most famous performances are preserved on film and will delight audiences for years to come,” Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement which noted that Nielsen had received one of that nation’s highest honors, The Order of Canada.

Critics argued that when Nielsen went into comedy he was being cast against type, but Nielsen disagreed, saying comedy was what he intended to do all along.

“I’ve finally found my home — as Lt. Frank Drebin,” he told The Associated Press in a 1988 interview.

Comic actor Russell Brand took to Twitter to pay tribute to Nielsen, playing off his famous line: “RIP Leslie Nielsen. Shirley, he will be missed.”

Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in New York. With a craggily handsome face, blond hair and 6-foot-2 height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man.

Nielsen first performed as the king of France in the Paramount operetta “The Vagabond King” with Kathryn Grayson.

The film — he called it “The Vagabond Turkey” — flopped, but MGM signed him to a seven-year contract.

This 1988 publicity file photo provided by Paramount Pictures shows actor Leslie Nielsen, left, with actress Priscilla Presley in the film "The Naked Gun.” The Canadian-born Nielsen, who went from drama to inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" comedies, has died. He was 84.

His first film for that studio was auspicious — as the space ship commander in the science fiction classic “Forbidden Planet.” He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie, “The Poseidon Adventure.”

Behind the camera, the serious actor was a wellknown prankster. That was an aspect of his personality never exploited, however, until “Airplane!” was released in 1980 and became a huge hit.

As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away.

“A hospital? What is it?”

a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness.

“It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now,” Nielsen deadpans.

It was the beginning of a whole new career in comedy. Nielsen would go on to appear in such comedies as “Repossessed” — a takeof f on “The Exorcist” — and “Mr. Magoo,” in which he played the title role of the good-natured bumbler.

But it took years before he got there.

He played Debbie Reynolds’ sweetheart in 1957’s popular “Tammy and the Bachelor,” and he became well known to baby boomers for his role as the Revolutionary War fighter Francis Marion in the Dis-

ney TV adventure series “The Swamp Fox.”

He asked to be released from his contract at MGM,

and as a freelancer, he appeared in a series of undistinguished movies.

“I played a lot of leaders, autocratic sorts; perhaps it was my Canadian accent,” he said.

Meanwhile, he remained active in television in guest roles. He also starred in his own series, “The New Breed,” “The Protectors” and “Bracken’s World,” but all were short-lived.

Then “Airplane!” captivated audiences and changed everything.

Producers-directors-writers Jim Abrahams, David and Jerry Zucker had hired Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges and Nielsen to spoof their heroic TV images in a satire of flight-in-jeopardy movies.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as the co-pilot, and TV mom Barbara Billingsley, as a jive-talking passenger, added to the insanity.

“Leslie was key to ‘Airplane!’ and perfect in the role. I look at his performance and it was very flawless,” Jerry Zucker said Monday, adding that there could be no better delivery of Nielsen’s “Shirley” line.

“We cracked up during shooting, then cracked up again during dailies. He really got what we were doing and he loved it,” he said.

After the movie’s success, the filmmaking trio cast their newfound comic star as Detective Drebin in a TV series, “Police Squad,” which trashed the cliches of “Dragnet” and other cop shows. Despite good reviews, ABC quickly canceled it. Only six episodes were made.

“It didn’t belong on TV,” Nielsen later said. “It had the kind of humor you had to pay attention to.”

Then Zuckers and Abraham converted the series into a feature film, “The Naked Gun,” with George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and Priscilla Presley as Nielsen’s co-stars. Its huge

success led to sequels “The Naked Gun 2 1/2” and “The Naked Gun 33 1/3.”

His later movies included “All I Want for Christmas,” “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” and “Spy Hard.”

Between films he often tur ned serious, touring with his one-man show on the life of the great defense lawyer, Clarence Darrow.

“He had a good life and I think he was very grateful for his life, as well as his second encore as a comedian,” Jerry Zucker said.

Nielsen was bor n Feb. 11, 1926 in Regina, Saskatchewan.

He grew up 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle at Fort Nor man, where his father was an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The parents had three sons, and Nielsen once recalled, “There were 15 people in the village, including five of us. If my father arrested somebody in the winter, he’d have to wait until the thaw to turn him in.”

The elder Nielsen was a troubled man who beat his wife and sons, and Leslie longed to escape. As soon as he graduated from high school at 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, even though he was legally deaf (he wore hearing aids most of his life.)

After the war, Nielsen worked as a disc jockey at a Calgary radio station, then studied at a Toronto radio school operated by Lorne Greene, who would go on to star on the hit TV series “Bonanza.” A scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse brought him to New York, where he immersed himself in live television.

Nielsen also was married to: Monica Boyer, 19501955; Sandy Ullman, 1958-74; and Brooks Oliver, 1981-85.

Nielsen and his second wife had two daughters, Thea and Maura.
