Electric Light Parade makes 20th journey Glistening vehicles make their way down Main Street during Saturday’s Electric Light Parade.

EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Not a creature was stirring Saturday night, not even a mouse — that is, until a firetruck came blaring down Main Street with sirens wailing, kicking off the 20th annual Electric Light Parade.

Crowds lined up and down Roswell’s Champs-Élysées and burst into cheers, greeting Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their elf helpers — two dalmatians.

Thirteen floats followed.

The merchants of Main Street had all turned off their lights — even McDonald’s got permission from corporate to turn off their glowing ‘M’ — so the audience could get a better view of the twinkling lights that decorated the floats under the moonlight.

“I think it’s wonderful to see all the people out,” said Peggy Seskey, the president of MainStreet, which hosted the event.

“The Christmas spirit is here.”

went off without a hitch with one minor exception: a pregnant woman went into labor atop one of the floats and had to be

whisked away to the hospital by a MainStreet volunteer.

“Now that would demonstrate the future,” joked

Boyd Barrett, one of three float contest judges. “If she had had the baby on the float, she would have won.”

New Mexico’s incoming lieutenant governor met with city officials and business leaders Friday during a town hall meeting highlighting economic growth.

Lt. Gov.-elect John Sanchez indicated that the incoming administration will work together with the state’s oil and gas industry, saying that incoming Gov. Susana Martinez plans to take aim at the Pit Rule and other regulations that members of the audience said hinder growth.

“As your lieutenant governor, I completely get it folks,” he told attendees of the town hall at the Roswell Chamber of Commerce.

State game officials reject pronghorn license changes

LAS CRUCES (AP) — A state commission has voted not to change a system that allocates most pronghorn hunting licenses in New Mexico to private landowners instead of the public.

The state Game Commission’s 4-3 vote on Thursday rejected concerns raised by the New Mexico Wildlife Federation and many of its members, who advocated changing the rules to move more licenses into the state’s public lottery system so New Mexico residents get more permits.

Game commissioners say they were worried that private landowners will withdraw their lands from hunting without the permits.

“We just don’t have a lot of antelope in New Mexico,” said Game Commissioner Dick Salopek of Las Cruces, who voted with the majority.

“These ranchers threatened to close their ranches if they

didn’t get what they want.

To me, that’s huge.”

Landowners sell many permits to out-of-state residents for whatever price the market will bear.

The state issues licenses through the lottery and a landowner “authorization” system.

There was once a cap on the percentage of licenses that could be issued through the authorization system, but it was removed.

Now the percentage going to the authorization system sits at about 70, Jeremy Vesbach, executive director for the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, told the Las Cruces Sun-News.

Vesbach said the vote doesn’t look out for state residents who value hunting as a “cultural tradition that’s passed down through a family.”

“The game commission

failed to do anything for the local hunter,” he said.

Landowners argued that they invest in things like water systems to maintain antelope herds. Some critics of the Wildlife Federation’s proposal said landowners might curtail their efforts to maintain habitat or simply stop allowing any hunters on their lands if the current system was drastically changed.

Game Commissioner M.H. “Dutch” Salmon of Silver City said he voted against the measure because he believe it shortchanged those who live in the state.

Roswell Daily Record

SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Bill Richardson has handed out more than $2 million in federal stimulus cash since Dec. 1 as he prepares to leave office.

Richardson, a Democrat, has been busy divvying up what remains of the $58 million in federal funds he had the discretion to allocate. The Albuquerque Journal reported in a copyright story in Saturday’s editions that he had less than $140,000 left to spend as of Friday.

That means Gov.-elect Susana Martinez, a Republican, will have little or no stimulus money at her disposal when she takes office Jan. 1.

Most of the recent stimulus spending spree hasn’t been publicly announced, but each allocation is listed on the state’s Office of Recovery and Reinvestment website.

Richardson’s office did announce Friday that $1 million will go to buy about 400 interactive whiteboard units in 10 school districts in northern New Mexico, including Santa Fe, Jemez Mountain and Espanola.

“This award will help teachers do their jobs and keep students engaged,” Richardson said in a statement.

The Office of Recovery and Reinvestment is headed by former New Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya, who said the districts chosen by Richardson had expressed interest in having the cutting-edge technology in their classrooms.

“If he had enough money, he would like to do it for every school in the state,” Anaya said.

Under the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an estimated $5 billion overall is flowing into New Mexico. About $2.5 billion is going directly to state agencies to shore up budgets, fix roads and bridges, and keep programs afloat.

Richardson has authority to spend about $58 million as he deems fit.

He’s using about half to prop up various agency budgets and prevent additional state employee furloughs, Anaya said. About $20 million is being spent to help balance last year’s budget after Richardson vetoed a measure that would have reimposed a sales tax on most food items.

Discretionary stimulus money that isn’t spent by Sept. 30, 2011, reverts to the federal government. Vice President Joe Biden has encouraged Richardson to pick up the pace on spending the discretionary stimulus money, Anaya said.

“It didn’t get out as fast as the national administration wanted it to,” Anaya acknowledged Friday.

Although nearly all the discretionary funding has been allocated, some of that money hasn’t yet been spent.

If the money isn’t under contract and in the process of being spent by Jan. 1, Martinez will have the ability to change how it is ultimately used.

Elizabeth Edwards remembered for her wit, resolve Roswell Daily Record

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Family and friends of Elizabeth Edwards recalled her Saturday as an idealistic law student who challenged professors, a political sage who offered advice at every turn and a matriarch who comforted her family even as she was dying of breast cancer.

Edwards’ funeral drew hundreds to Edenton Street United Methodist Church, where she once mourned her 16-year -old son, Wade, after he died in a car crash in 1996.

She was to be buried next to him during a private ceremony.

Speakers reflected on a multi-faceted personality: Edwards, 61, was an intellectual who frequented discount clothing stores like T.J. Maxx, she was a fiery competitor, and she was a public figure who won the private confidence of virtually everyone she met.

“There aren’t words that are good enough,” said daughter Cate Edwards, whose eulogy contained a passage from a letter her mother spent years preparing to leave to her children after she was gone.

“I’ve loved you in the best ways I’ve known how,” the letter said. “All I ever really needed was you, your love, your presence, to make my life complete.”

John Edwards, her estranged husband, did not speak. The couple had four children together. John Edwards sat alongside 28year-old Cate, 12-year-old Emma Claire and 10-year-old Jack. They held hands as they followed the casket into the sanctuary.

Their oldest daughter talked of how her mother comforted those around her as she lay dying — at one point barely able to speak — while she held her daughter and John’s hands, looking back and forth to each, repeating, “I’m OK. I’m OK.” “She was way more worried about us than

Cate Edwards and her father John Edwards watch as the casket of Elizabeth Edwards is loaded into the hearse following funeral services at Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, N.C., Saturday.

we were about her,” Cate Edwards said.

She talked of her mother’s strength and grace and also of her witty advice about everything from clothing (there are always fewer regrets wearing solids than patterns) to marriage (don’t settle for the first boy you ever meet).

“She’s been a lighthouse to all of us — a

point of guidance when we all feel lost,” she said.

The memorial brought several political figures, including Sen. John Kerry, who led the Democratic presidential ticket in 2004 that included John Edwards, and North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue.

Two of Elizabeth Edwards’ longtime

friends, Hargrave McElroy and Glenn Bergenfield, also gave eulogies.

McElroy spoke admiringly of the fiery woman who first became a close friend as the couple raised their young children, telling stories of Edwards’ expertise at any pursuit that required intellect — from board games to sports trivia. She said Edwards was always an optimist.

“She knew who she was. She never held back. She was without pretense,” McElroy said.

Bergenfield described a woman he first met in law school who challenged her professors with a vibrant mind and who possessed “big world, head-turning, walk-intothe-pole gorgeous” looks. He related anecdotes about how strong she was, but also how down-to-earth she was, seeming to care for each stranger she met, disarming campaign operatives with plain language or crawling under a dormroom bed to find clothing Cate had discarded.

“Nothing that she said publicly, as a mother, as an author or as a friend — none of it fed or was in any way fueled by ego,” he said.

Bergenfield described Edwards as a close friend to him and his family — giving his children thoughtful advice and teaching people around her to “live like it’s important.”

One of the pallbearers, Tyler Highsmith, was in the car Wade Edwards was driving when he died. He and three other pallbearers — Michael Lewis, Ellis Roberts and Charles Scarantino — were pallbearers in Wade Edwards’ funeral. Trevor Upham, who was recently engaged to Cate Edwards, also served as a pallbearer for Elizabeth Edwards.

Madoff’s eldest son hangs himself in New York City apartment NEW YORK (AP) — Every day for two years, he carried the toxic burden of a name that meant fraud to the world. On Saturday, the eldest son of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff hanged himself in his Manhattan apartment, another casualty in the saga that sent his father to prison and swindled thousands of their life savings.

On the second anniversary of the day his father was arrested in the worst investment fraud in American history, Mark Madoff, 46, was found dead in the living room of his SoHo loft. He was hanging from a black dog leash while his 2-year-old son slept nearby.

People close to him said he was despondent over press coverage of his father’s case, an ongoing criminal investigation of Madoff family members in the multibillion-dollar scheme and his struggle to rebuild his life.

The intense scrutiny approaching the anniver-

sary “became too much for him,” said a person who had recent contact with him, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.

Mark Madof f’s wife, Stephanie, sent her stepfather to the couple’s $6 million dollar apartment after he e-mailed her at Disney World in Florida, where she was vacationing with their 4-year-old daughter. In the messages, he told her he loved her and that someone should check on their 2-year-old child, Nicholas, police said. He left no suicide note.

The person who had recent contact with Madoff said he was struggling to find steady employment and was upset by coverage of his father’s case, including a slew of stories in the past week about investor lawsuits.

“This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy,” Mark Madoff’s attor ney, Martin Flumenbaum said in a written statement.

“Mark was an innocent vic-

tim of his father’s monstrous crime who succumbed to two years of unrelenting pressure from false accusations and innuendo.”

Mark Madof f and his brother Andrew, who notified authorities their father had confessed to them the day before he was arrested on Dec. 11, 2008, have said they were unaware of his crimes. But they have remained under investigation and been named in the multiple civil lawsuits accusing them of profiting from the scheme.

Another law enforcement official said Saturday that Madof f’s arrest was not imminent, and that investigators pursuing possible charges against him, his brother and uncle hadn’t contacted him for more than a year. The of ficial wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.

A lawyer for Mark’s mother, Ruth Madoff, said, “She’s heartbroken.” The

lawyer, Peter Chavkin, had no further comment.

Ber nard Madof f, 72, swindled a long list of investors out of billions of dollars. He admitted that he ran his scheme for at least two decades, cheating thousands of individuals, charities, celebrities and institutional investors.

Losses are estimated at around $20 billion, making it the biggest investment fraud in U.S. history. He is serving a 150-year prison term in North Carolina.

The scandal has resulted in a half dozen arrests of Madoff associates and put

a harsh light on members of the family, which has splintered since Madoff’s arrest. Both brothers had not spoken to their parents since they tur ned their father in.

The financier’s brother, Peter, played a prominent role in the family’s company. Mark and Andrew Madoff both worked on a trad-

ing desk at the firm, on a side of the business that wasn’t directly involved in the Ponzi scheme.

In February, Mark Madoff’s wife asked a court to change her last name and the last names of their two children to Morgan, saying her family had gotten threats and was humiliated by the scandal.

OPINION

National treasure endangered by the ravages of time

SANTA FE — Is one of the few documents involving the world’s best-known New Mexican in serious danger?

Yes, we’re talking about Billy the Kid. Had Bill Richardson become president, or if Susana Martinez does, perhaps that changes. But until then, The Kid is still on top.

No one may ever have as many books written about him or movies made about him as Billy.

From the rankings I have seen, Smokey Bear comes in second.

What’s unfortunate about Billy the Kid’s life is that there are precious few vestiges of what he was really like. Despite all the books and movies, almost nothing tangible has survived. Billy traveled light, might we say. He didn’t have a place to keep his stuff.

By far the best evidence we have about the real Kid are the letters he wrote Gov. Lew Wallace.

Wallace carefully saved all those letters and they remained in his

collection, at the Indiana Historical Society in Indianapolis.

In the 1980s, great-grandson William N. Wallace provided two of Billy’s nine known letters to the Lincoln County Heritage Trust.

Subsequently, the holdings of that trust became the property of the Hubbard Museum of the American West.

Later, that museum was taken over by the state. At that time, the letters were in a safe in Ruidoso.

Concerned about conservation of the letters, author/historian Dr. Gale Cooper and others urged they be transferred to the Fray Angelico Chavez History Library in Santa Fe.

Roswell Daily Record

The transfer was accomplished in August 2009 and the letters, in good condition, went on display then safe archiving amid frontpage articles calling them an absolute treasure.

And they are just that. Up to that time, historians seemed to be the only people who did not regard the Kid as just an illiterate thug. The letters cast an entirely new light on Billy. He was obviously articulate, intelligent, polite and well-schooled in penmanship.

The most famous of the letters, written in 1879, was Billy’s first correspondence to Gov. Wallace.

In it, he sets up the deal in which he would testify in a murder case involving the Lincoln County War aftermath in return for the state dropping charges against him for murder indictments from that war.

But trouble struck that famous letter. While researching her next book on Billy’s writings, Cooper learned it had been put on “indefi-

nite display” since this March.

And now, Cooper claims it is seriously deteriorating after light exposure for months longer than federal guidelines for paper documents allow. She says it should be taken off display. Museum staff are taking their time.

Cooper says professionals can make exact copies of the letters to put on display, while the originals are preserved in temperature and humidity-controlled darkness.

She has offered to pay for the foremost paper conservator in the United States to perform repairs on the original.

She says the museum has refused her offer. She is now getting the Library of Congress and the National Archives involved in the dispute.

The March 1879 letter, Cooper says is the most important of Billy’s letters to Wallace, and arguably a national treasure. And it is now in danger of being lost to future generations of aficionados.

And as we know from her eight years of fighting the Billy the Kid Case hoax, she does not give up. * * * In other New Mexico history news, the Alamogordo Daily News reports Alamogordo historian Dr. Dave Townsend as saying incoming Secretary of State Dianna Duran of Alamogordo is only the second statewide official ever to be elected from Otero County.

Murray Morgan served as commissioner of public lands from 1957-1960. He was elected to two two-year terms.

Former Gov. Ed Mechem was born in Alamogordo and was a playmate of my father’s about the time New Mexico became a state.

But both moved on to Las Cruces, from where they launched their careers.

Elizabeth Edwards passes with grace

No matter how your politics lean, you could always find courage and resilience in the life of Elizabeth Edwards.

Breast cancer took her life Tuesday.

She was 61.

Edwards came to be known through the political career of her husband John. He was successful in U.S. Senate campaigns in North Carolina but failed in bids for president and vice president.

Elizabeth Edwards titled one memoir “Saving Graces” and a second “Resilience.” Both titles captured her life’s story.

She lived a full life, marrying her college sweetheart and accepting his proposal and an $11 wedding ring. His work as a lawyer eventually brought them millions.

But difficult times are not discriminatory. The family lost a 16-year -old son in 1996 to a car accident. When John moved from practicing law to a career in politics, he found success can be fleeting. Elizabeth also hit a terrible stretch, losing her health to cancer and her husband to another woman.

The sad ending to the Edwards’ marriage should only be a footnote. She was remarkable in the face of her battle with cancer and her struggle with the loss of a child while in the public eye.

Edwards was first diagnosed in 2004.

She became a strong supporter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a well-funded foundation that provides a network of support and advocacy for awareness and research. The foundation was fortunate to have Edwar ds’ voice, which r eached untold people in need.

The day before she died, she made this post to her Facebook page: “You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces — my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope.

These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that.

And, yes, there are certainly times when we ar en’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like.

It’s called being human.

“But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn’t possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know.”

To live by Elizabeth Edwards’ powerful final words of advice will be to live a full and satisfying life. We should all be so resilient.

Guest Editorial The Jacksonville Daily News DEAR DR. GOTT: This is in regard to your article about the 15-year-old with chronic abdominal pain. Why didn’t you think of celiac disease? My granddaughter was diagnosed at age 6 after developing severe abdominal pain. She managed her celiac and is doing very well on a gluten-free diet.

DEAR READER: Your letter is just one of many I have received about this young girl’s problem.

Celiac disease (also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy) is a digestive disorder. These people cannot tolerate the protein gluten, which is found in wheat, rye and barley. These grains are present in many foods, even some nonfood items, such as vitamins and medications.

Overspending is still the main problem The “grand bargain” agreed to by the White House to preserve the Bush-era tax rates, extend unemployment insurance for another year and reduce the payroll tax for 2011 doesn’t get to the heart of the country’s main financial problem: overspending.

The Irish were told last week they are going to have to bite the bullet and sharply reduce their expectations of what government can do for them, as it cuts spending and broadens the tax base. But liberal Democrats in the United States remain on a different track: increasing debt and waging nonstop class warfare.

Celiac is sort of a doublewhammy. It is both an autoimmune disorder and a malabsorption disease. It is considered autoimmune because in the presence of gluten, the body overreacts and begins destroying the villi. These tiny, finger-like projections line the intestine and allow nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. This is

where celiac is also considered a malabsorption disease, because without healthy villi, the body cannot take in proper amounts of nutrients regardless of how much food is consumed.

Celiac can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms can vary greatly between sufferers, and most only have general complaints. In infants and young children, some of the more common symptoms can include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, irritability, abdominal pain and bloating, and pale, foul-smelling or fatty stool. Even if these symptoms are not present, malabsorption can still be a problem and may lead to delayed growth, short stature, delayed puberty, dental defects in permanent teeth and more.

Obama visit illustrates government waste

Dear Editor: President Obama appointed a Debt Commission to suggest ways to reduce the government’s budget deficit.

Their recommendations include enough pain and sacrifice for everyone. He finally called for a two-year freeze on the salaries of federal workers.

This is long past due, since they usually have had better pay and benefits than comparable jobs in the private sector. He should probably start cutting some jobs that have redundant duties, such as the 30-something czars which he appointed and put on the payroll. He should freeze and/or cut the pay for Congress, their staffs, postal workers and federal judges, which were not included in the freeze. They and their unions will probably see that this does not happen. Maybe we could do away with an Energy Department that has never produced any energy and an Education Department which has never educated anyone.

The president should show leadership by tightening his own belt. An article in a London paper has described President Obama’s visit to the G-20 Summit. Obama arrived with 500 staffers including Secret Service, six doctors, the White House chef and kitchen staff with his own food and water, 35 vehicles, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters. Air Force One, complete with all the bells and whistles, was there, along with Marine One, the presidential helicopter, and a fleet of identical decoys, to transport him from the airport to central London.

Among the vehicles was the presidential limousine (known as the Beast), which is the ultimate in heavily

safety net. It is quite another for it to build a hammock.

Penalizing success and those willing to take risks with their capital will mean fewer successful people and less capital. Why do Democrats, especially, seem to hate the successful, when so many of their party leaders are wealthy? Why do only Republicans want to talk about success while Democrats seem more comfortable in the company of failure and dependency?

Last week, the Democratic congressional leadership transported dozens of people they said were long-term unemployed to plead for more unemployment benefits.

Where did the money come from to bring them to Washington? Wouldn’t Speaker Nancy Pelosi have done better sending these people the money it cost for their travel, housing and food? Even better, why didn’t Democrats offer the businesses that had fired or laid them off a tax break if they re-hired them? The longer someone gets a check for not working, the less likely that person is to feel motivated to look for work.

Dog needs home

Dear Editor: I have been a volunteer for the last few months at the Humane Society Shelter. I am a senior and go once a week to walk a dog.

For several weeks, I have walked Wizard, a small Blue Heeler. He is a sweet little dog. What has surprised me with more of our money when it has done such a poor job of spending what we’ve already given? At what time in our country’s existence have higher taxes on businesses and individuals created prosperity and more jobs (other than government jobs), especially for the middle class? Please don’t say, “during Bill Clinton’s administration,” because Clinton arrived at a surplus by cutting defense spending and without two wars and before the first wave of baby boomer retirees. Clinton admitted at a fundraiser in Houston in 1995: “Probably there are people in this room still mad at me at that budget because you think I raised your taxes too much.

It might surprise you to know that I think I raised them too much, too.”

Don’t look for liberal Democrats to become supplysiders when lower tax rates again produce jobs. That’s because they prefer to continue the class war, a war that finds them fighting on the wrong side. Most people would like to be rich, or at least better off. Increased debt and acting as the welfare equivalent of a drug pusher, addicting people to more government, will not help them achieve that goal.

He wags his tail in response when I talk to him as we walk. When I go to the picnic area to rest on a bench, he sits and lays his head on my knees. The last two times, he has noticed someone in the distance and growls, as if he is protecting me.

He was featured last week as pet of the week and I would love for him to have his own family. He would prefer to be an only dog, I think, as he does not like to walk through the big puppy room for us to go to the outside door. The puppies are all jumping and barking as we hurry by their cages.

The connection is thought to be genetic.

If celiac disease is suspected, a physician can order a blood test to check the levels of certain autoantibodies, antitissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTGA) or anti-endomysium antibodies (EMA). Not all sufferers will test positive, however, so intestinal biopsy may be perfor med to confir m the diagnosis. This is done endoscopy. during Another way to confirm the diagnosis is to have the patient begin a gluten-free diet. If the symptoms resolve, celiac may be diagnosed. It is important that this diet is not started without informing your physician because both the blood test and biopsy results can be altered.

The good news is that if the diet is started before permanent damage is done, most, if not all, damage can be reversed. Today, more

and more foods, beverages and products are becoming available that are gluten-free, making following the diet easier.

Traditional breads and pastas can be replaced with products made from other flours, such as rice, arrowroot and more.

OPINION III

Setting off a catalytic reaction to motivate others Do you bring about positive change in the life you live? When you go to bed at night, is the world a better place than it was when you woke up because of some action or actions you took during the day?

Do you have the ability to take a negative thrown at you and respond with a positive? Are you able to bring about positive change to those around you without yourself being consumed?

Maybe you are a catalyst.

Maybe you are a catalyst for change.

In researching the term “catalyst,” I found many definitions.

The core concepts of each are very similar. The first known use of the word was in 1902. The making of soap, the fermentation of wine to vinegar, and the leavening of bread are all processes involving catalysts.

A catalyst is “a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy, but which is left unchanged by the reaction.”

Wow! A lot is going on here.

Let’s break this definition down

Cowpokes

RICK KRAFT

JUST A THOUGHT

to its three base elements.

The first segment of the definition is that it increases the rate of a chemical reaction. That means a catalyst creates action. It brings about energy. It makes something happen. A catalyst causes change. For something to be a catalyst, it must make a reaction occur. A very powerful catalyst will, by its action, cause many reactions to result.

If you are a catalyst in the life you live, you are making an impact on others as you are increasing reactions by others to your actions.

The second part of the definition is “by reducing activation energy.” So a catalyst not only is action resulting in reactions, it minimizes the amount of energy

by Ace Reid

necessary to be activated. If you can lower the effort needed to bring about change, you can cause change to occur quicker with a reduced level of action.

The final segment of the definition is very critical. A catalyst brings about change and is “left unchanged by the reaction.” A catalyst is not consumed. It remains in its original form after causing a chain of reactions to occur. What is around the catalyst is modified, but the catalyst itself is unaffected.

Can you do that? Can you take action, cause reactions, and not be consumed in the process? It is the difference between being a thermometer that measures the temperature and being a thermostat that sets the temperature.

Being a catalyst is causing change by being proactive, not by measuring change and being reactive.

This characteristic of a catalyst makes me think of the story of the grandmother who taught her granddaughter a lesson one day in her kitchen. The grandmother took some carrots and an egg

from her refrigerator and a tea bag out of the cupboard. She boiled a pot of water and then one at a time put the carrots, the egg and the tea bag in the pot allowing them time to respond to the boiling water.

The grandmother said the pot of boiling water represents adversity in life. After boiling all three, she asked her granddaughter some questions. Grandma pointed out that the carrots were hard and firm when they were taken from the refrigerator. The boiling water made them soft and mushy. This happens to some people when adversity hits them.

The egg was liquid on the inside and fragile on the outside when it was put into the pot. The boiling water made the egg become firm. Adversity changed the egg also, but it became rigid and hard.

The grandma then asked her granddaughter, what happened to the tea bag when it was put in boiling water. The granddaughter said, except for getting wet, the tea bag didn’t change. The grandma then shared about the tea

bag, “When placed in an adverse situation, not only did the tea bag not change, it changed the water around it.”

Being a catalyst is like being a tea bag. In the process of bringing about change around it, it is not consumed or changed.

My challenge to you today is to be a catalyst in the life you live.

Create catalytic reactions. First, make good choices in your own life. Then bring about change in others by influencing them to make good choices without yourself being consumed in the process. Be the tea bag in times of adversity.

Live a life of initiation, precipitation, and acceleration. Bring about change and leave a better world behind than the one you entered.

Safety myths vs. the reality Roswell Daily Record

This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by the Roswell Neighborhood Watch.

Crediting Dale Yeager of SERAPH Corporation from his article in the “Bottom Line/Personal” periodical, here are some common myths and misconceptions about things people do to avoid crime and which actually may increase their odds of becoming victims.

MYTH: If you're mugged, throw your wallet or purse at the assailant and run.

The mugger will stop to pick up your valuables rather than pursue you.

Reality: Many street criminals value respect above all else. If he takes throwing your valuables as a form of disrespect, the mugger might use violence against you! Better: Politely hand over your valuables without making eye contact. Follow the mugger’s directions, and do not say anything beyond, “Take my money.

It’s all yours.”

Exception: If you hand over your valuables and the mugger continues issuing instructions, such as “get down on your knees” or “walk into that alley,” it is time to run away. Muggers who do not leave quickly after obtaining a victim’s possessions often intend to commit murder or sexual assault.

MYTH: The best way to fight back against a male assailant is with a kick to the groin.

Reality: Attempts to disable assailants with kicks or punches to the groin almost always fail. There are several physical reasons which make this tactic unlikely to be useful. Better: If you do attempt a physical attack on an assailant, go for a kidney. The kidneys are located on our sides, just above the waist. Kidneys are extremely sensitive. If an attacker comes at you, hit or slap the kidney or stab a pen in the area.

MYTH: If you act confident, you are less likely to be targeted by criminals.

Reality: Criminals may mistake your show of confidence for arrogance and target you to take you

VISTAS POLICY

down a peg, to prove that the criminal is the top dog.

Americans abroad must be especially careful. Although rape-prevention groups often recommend that women walk and act with exaggerated confidence when they feel threatened, this can increase the risk for sexual assault.

Better: It is fine to feel confident, but don’t act cocky. Arrogance can make you a target and feigned confidence may seem unnatural. Acting the way we actually feel helps us blend in, a far better way to avoid unwanted criminal attention.

MYTH: The least safe areas are "bad neighborhoods" at night. Reality: Not always. Yeager believes that the highest-risk areas for physical attacks by strangers are not bad neighborhoods but near nightclubs. Better: If you do go to nightclubs in any kind of neighborhood, leave before midnight. If you feel at all threatened when leaving a nightclub, ask a doorman or bouncer to keep an eye on you as you walk to your car.

MYTH: College campuses are safe. Reality: Unfortunately, our colleges and universities are not always safe. Security is extremely lax on many campuses and burglary, assault and rape are distressingly common.

Even prestigious colleges have crime problems.

Better: Make the safety of your child a selection criterion for college. Good universities will stress that to you. Remind your student that college campuses are not safe havens.

Lopez ‘pays it forward’ to Secret Santa program JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Daniel Lopez, owner of Lopez Insurance Agency, made a $275 donation to T obosa’s Secret Santa Club/Gifts of Love on Friday.

“It’s a very generous donation,” Michelle L yon, program director of Tobosa, said. “$275 is huge for something like what we do.”

Lopez said he was looking for a community organization to donate to for the holiday season when a friend, Melinda Olivas, suggested Tobosa’s Secret Santa Club.

“I really didn’t know about this or what they did, or how they did it.” he said. “I talked with (my) kids, and the kids went on and made the decision to donate to

this charity.”

Lopez, who benefited from a Secret Santa program as a youngster, sees his donation as an opportunity to “pay it forward.”

“As a child I was a recipient of a Secret Santa donation,” Lopez said. “It was just touching.”

Tobosa’s Secret Santa Club was started by Lyons five years ago, when she learned that nine children at the Los Pastios Lear ning Center would not receive Christmas gifts. Since then, the program has expanded, and other community organizations have pitched in to help out with Secret Santa efforts. This year, the club will give gifts to about 200 children.

“We really target the families that would otherwise not get a Christmas,” L yons said. “The program is run strictly through

donations through community organizations, businesses. We have staff here at Tobosa that get automatic deductions from their check all year-round ... it helps me shop all year, so I get all the really good deals and build up an inventory.”

On Dec. 17, Christ Church will host a “Celebration Night,” where parents of Secret Santa Club recipients can pick up gifts for their kids.

Chief Petty Officer Todd Londergan, an active duty of ficer in the Coast Guard for 23 years and currently stationed at the New Mexico Military Institute, offered a crisp white-gloved salute after laying a wreath down in memory of those who served and are serving in the Coast Guard.

“It doesn’t bother me to take an hour or two out of my morning to do this,” he said after the cer emony with a smile, cheeks rosy from the cold. “I think it’s really nice to honor those who came before us and who paid the ultimate price.”

The other persons pr esenting wreaths were: Sgt. Mark Earnest for the U.S. Army; Petty Officer Eric Marroquin for the U.S. Navy; Staff Sgt. Josh Videl for the U.S. Marine Corps; Lt. Robert Thompson for the U.S. Air Force; Maj. Tom Clark for the U.S. Merchant Marines; former POW Charlie Ortega for the POWs; and American Gold Star Mother Christy Miller for the MIAs. Alongside the older veterans in the crowd were those of a younger generation — Cub Scouts, Tiger Scouts and Boy Scouts were all in attendance with their group leaders.

“Part of the (Wreaths Across America) pr ogram is to teach the young

about veterans,” one group leader explained, referring to the nonprofit’s stated mission of “remembering, honoring and teaching” to promote veterans remembrance.

Only a few linger ed after all the wr eaths had been pr esented and “Taps” had been played. Sue Naylor, 76, of Roswell, was one of the last to leave. Her 21-year -old grandson, Brynn Joel Naylor, died serving in Iraq three years ago, almost to the date.

She said he graduated from Goddard High School, then enlisted in the U.S. Ar my the following summer even though NMMI of fered him a tennis scholarship. He was stationed in Baghdad when his unit came under smallar ms fir e, accor ding to the U.S. Defense Department. There were eight days left in his deployment.

Ten locations throughout New Mexico participated in the cer emony.

Wreaths Across America grew out of the Arlington Wreath Project — a program started by a Maine businessman who donated wreaths to the national cemetery to adorn the headstones of veterans. According to the website, by 2008 more than 300 locations held wreath laying ceremonies in every state, Puerto Rico and 24 overseas cemeteries.

More than 100,000 wreaths have been placed on veterans’ graves and more than 60,000 volunteers have participated. emiller@roswell-record.com

published books and articles about the subject. “I don’t like being labelled as discredited when there’s nothing further from the truth. ... When I saw that, I thought I was dreaming.”

Schmitt, likewise, called the news segment a “hit piece.”

“Referring to us as discredited without any qualifications and just as a passing remark in that context was trying to discredit our work at the site,” Schmitt said.

The news clip in contention aired in early November on KRQE’s “Larry Barker Investigates.” The segment was about the 2002 archaeology dig performed by the University of New Mexico Archaeology Department at the reported 1947 crash site. Carey and Schmitt assisted with the dig as technical advisors to the project’s financial backer, the Syfy cable channel.

The news anchor, Barker, also alleged that they did not know the location of the crash site, thus misguiding the excava-

Barker asked in the news segment: “So how did Schmitt and Carey know a UFO crashed at that exact site? Well, they did not, and neither did UNM.” Schmitt calls this assertion a “bald face lie.”

“It was just total fabrication,” he said.

He added that he interviewed more than 600 witnesses to pinpoint the location to a ranch northwest of town in Corona, and states that he is not the sole source for this information.

The two ufologists, who both at one point worked as special investigators at the Center for UFO Studies in Chicago, say they are considering legal action, but remain dubious over whether they could win such a case.

“We’re public figures — people can say anything they want about us,” Schmitt said. “It’s almost impossible to win a libel or slander suit, especially one against a public figure, a target for anyone who wants to say anything.”

Barker was not available for comment.

“I just want to stress the importance in the upcoming Legislature ... (that) the hold harmless is just critical,” he said.

“We hear it everywhere we go,” Sanchez replied, saying that he understood the importance of the provision.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) #### Understanding others’ motives could be a full-time job. If someone’s behavior is weird or off, why not just ask this person what is going on? Understanding your own motives could be more important. Avoid a clash of the titans. Tonight: Take a serious look at your reactions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) #### Zero in on possibilities rather than problems.

You will lighten up considerably. Many unexpected developments could toss you off a preordained path. Stretch to see beyond the obvious.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ### How you see a situation and the manner in which it evolves could be far more significant than you believe.

Though you could be stunned by news, you will adjust. The unexpected occurs in the workplace or with someone you look up to. Tonight: A partner or loved one could be more difficult than necessary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) #### Your ability to flex is put to the test. How much can you really handle and absorb? New information is forthcoming. A key figure in your life doesn’t demonstrate the same ability to flex and could be a problem right now.

Tonight: Let your imagination kick in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) #### The best intentions could fall to the wayside.

When making plans or a todo list, you assume a certain set of givens. Those givens could go to the wayside too quickly for your taste today.

Maintain your sense of humor, and you will clear it with ease. A discussion about a project or with a loved one could provide exciting ups and downs.

Tonight: Stay in the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ### You could be flabbergasted by how fast the best laid plans fall to the wayside.

You also might want to rethink a situation more carefully that involves your personal and/or domestic life. Understanding evolves for those who want it.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ##### Your creativity responds to the unanticipated. You’ll move in new ways and in a new direction if you don’t get stuck in a mental attitude. In any case, knowing when to move on remains critical. Tonight: Ever playful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ### Getting clear of a personal matter might not happen. You might have to accept the situation knowing that all the facts and ramifications are far from in. Use care making any financial commitments, especially if you’re feeling pressured.

Tonight: Mosey on home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) #### Keep asking

questions and listening to the responses. What seems too good to be true quite possibly is. You could discover that what you always thought of as a given is otherwise. You might have to stop and regroup. Tonight: Rethinking recent events.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ### Use caution with an investment, commitment or personal spending. What you didn’t think was going to happen does occur. Your ability to flex and grow in a new direction emerges. Tonight: Give some deep thought to an

NATIONAL BRIEFS GIANTS-VIKES GAME MOVED TO MONDAY NIGHT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Favre has got to love a snowstorm. His ailing shoulder has been given another day to heal.

The Giants-Vikings game was moved to Monday night because Minnesota had at least 15 inches of snow and wind gusting over 30 mph and the New York team was waiting it out in Kansas City.

The Vikings announced the game will kick off at 8 p.m. EST and remain televised by Fox in the Minnesota and New York markets.

The Vikings (5-7) have beaten the Giants (8-4) four straight times.

With close to a foot-anda-half of blowing snow accumulating in the Twin Cities area throughout the day Saturday, the Giants’ charter flight was diverted to Kansas City instead.

After hanging out in the terminal for a bit, the team then settled in to spend the night there, with an initial plan in place to fly to Minnesota on Sunday morning and make it to the stadium in time for regularly scheduled 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

But the NFL made the announcement later Saturday night that the game was being moved.

AR TESIA — The City of Champions Classic crowned a new champion on Saturday — the Roswell Coyotes.

The Coyotes held court in the Bulldog Pit by blowing out three straight opponents, including a 22point waxing of Deming in Saturday’s championship game.

“If you’re in it, you want to win it,” said Coyote coach Britt Cooper, whose team won the COC Classic for the first time in 10 years.

“It’s the first time we’ve won it in a while. We had not been here in a few years and we came back last year, so it was nice to win it. It’s always a good, strong tournament.”

Roswell’s 83-61 blitzing of Deming on Saturday capped a three-day stretch in which the Coyotes (3-1) won by margins of 32, 27 and 22. “(We) had a good tournament,” Cooper said. “When you can win a tournament and the closest anyone comes to you is 20-some odd points, that’s a strong showing.”

The biggest factor in those blowout wins was Deyton DeLaCerda.

The senior, who was named the tournament’s MVP, had 33 points on Saturday, capping off a tournament in which he averaged more than 30 points

“He’s tough,” Cooper said of DeLaCerda. “Sometimes, last year, he was the fourth option. Now, he is the go-to guy and he stepped up to the challenge.”

After the game, DeLaCerda talked about being Roswell’s No. 1 option.

“I never got this kind of respect since we had A.J. and those guys, so it feels good,” he said. “It’s a lot of pressure, but I’m willing to

Rockets rebound LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ARTESIA — When a team loses a game to a rival, it is easy to judge them based off that game alone.

For a better gauge on the team, however, the game immediately after the loss is where the true character is revealed.

A night after losing to crosstown rival Roswell, the Goddard boys basketball team rebounded with a convincing 6544 win over Artesia in the City of Champions Classic thirdplace game on Saturday.

In the early going, both teams struggled to find their groove on the offensive end and, with 3 minutes to go in the first, Artesia held a 5-4 lead.

Over the final 3 minutes of the first, Goddard went on a 10-2 run that was sparked by two Austin Rader layups in traffic.

The Rockets (4-3) were able to carry that momentum into the second quarter, as they outscored the Bulldogs 20-7 to take a commanding 20-point lead into the break.

The final Goddard bucket was a microcosm of the game.

With under a minute to play, the Rockets had possession and Brandon Cooper shot a 10-footer from the right wing.

He missed the shot, but Eric Johnson was able to snare a See REBOUND, Page B3

handle the pressure.

“I like the final shots.”

The Coyotes didn’t need a last-second pressure shot on Saturday. They simply dominated from the opening tip to the final horn.

A 14-2 run to start gave them a comfortable lead and one they would never relinquish. Deming cut that lead under double digits just once and even that only lasted 9 ticks before DeLaCerda hit a free throw to again give his team a

double-digit lead.

Deming was within 11 with 5:24 left in the opening half, but Roswell rattled off a 23-8 run down the stretch to make it 5529 at the break.

Roswell finished with 28 points in the first quarter and 27 in the second quarter, which is the two highest-scoring quarters for the Coyotes this season. The 83 total points is also a season high.

Roswell ballooned its lead to 35 by the end of the

third before Deming started to shave points off its deficit against only token pressure in the fourth.

Jonathan Ervin turned in another double-digit scoring per for mance for the Coyotes with 14 on the night, while Saul Carrillo added a career-best 15.

Javier Palacios led three Wildcats in double figures with 18. Jesus Ler ma added 15 and Yean Vela had 14.

Newton wins Heisman

NEW YORK (AP) — Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy — as if there was any doubt.

Whether he gets to keep it is still to be determined.

Auburn’s hulking quarterback brushed of f an NCAA investigation of his recruitment as he did so many tacklers this season and captured college football’s biggest individual award Saturday night in a landslide vote.

The third player from Auburn to win the Heisman, Newton received 729 first-place votes and outpointed runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford by 1,184 points.

“Honestly, it’s a dream come true for me, something every child has a dream (about) that plays the sport of football, and I’m living testimony that anything is possible,” Newton said.

Oregon running back LaMichael James was third, followed by Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, the other finalist.

Newton didn’t look a bit surprised when his name was announced inside the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. A wide smile spread across his face and he dropped his head.

After exchanging hugs and handshakes with the other finalists, he and his mother, Jackie, shared a long embrace. His dad was not there.

When he reached the podium, he had to steady himself.

“Oh my God,” he whispered as he reached into his inside jacket pocket to pull out his speech.

But his story is stained: Recently, the NCAA determined his father tried to peddle him to Mississippi State for cash.

Not even that ruling stopped Newton. The NCAA cleared him to play before the Southeastern Conference title game because it found no evidence that he or Aubur n knew about Cecil Newton’s pay-for play scheme. It also suggested that it was still investigating, as were the FBI and the Mississippi secretary of state’s office.

Cam Newton has denied any wrongdoing.

Still, it invites speculation that the newest Heisman winner could perhaps be heading down the same path as Reggie Bush, who returned his trophy three months ago after the NCAA ruled that he and his family received cash and gifts while he was at Southern California.

Asked about the possibility during his news conference, Newton said: “Two letters for you my friend — No.” T o be eligible for the Heisman, a player must be in good standing with the NCAA. And for most of See HEISMAN, Page B3

Texas manager suspects Lee will stay with Rangers

DALLAS (AP) — Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington has a gut feeling about Cliff Lee. “That he’ll be here,” he said Saturday.

The Rangers and New York Yankees are waiting for a decision on which offer the 32year-old left-hander will accept. They are the two known bidders for the $100 million-plus pitcher, although there may be others.

“I think everything that needs to be done has been done. ... We just have to wait,” Washington said.

The Yankees offered Lee a seven-year contract Thursday after making an opening proposal of six years for $137.5 million to $140 million. Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg went to Arkansas on Thursday to personally present Lee with multiple offers.

“They had a good visit, and now we’re waiting for some type of decision,” Washington said Saturday at a luncheon where he was inducted into the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame.

Washington hasn’t had any conversations with Lee and doesn’t think any are needed. He knows the outcome is crucial for both the Rangers and Yankees.

“It would be huge simply because you’d have a No. 1 starter,” Washington said.

“Since we had him for 2 1⁄2 months, we know what he brings. We’d like to see that over the long haul of a full season. Once again it comes down to waiting on Cliff Lee and his family, and they have to decide what they want to do. It’s tough to speculate because you don’t know. I told you what my gut said.”

The decision might not come until Monday or later in the week.

“I can wait until they decide what they want to do,” Washington said. “When a decision comes, it’s going to be yea or nay.

There’s nothing more you can do about it. I have no idea when he’s going to make a decision. I don’t think he needs to make one until opening day of spring training.”

Crawford hopes to add to Red Sox left-field legacy

BOSTON (AP) — Carl Crawford was hoarse when he spoke at his Red Sox introduction.

Otherwise, he’s pretty much perfect for them.

“I don’t know where that came about,” the speedy Crawford said Saturday, his words slow and scratchy. “I can’t believe it happened at this moment.”

And what a moment it was for Boston as the four-time All-Star buttoned up his white Red Sox jersey with his familiar No. 13 on the back at the official announcement that he had signed a seven-year deal as part of what may be baseball’s best lineup.

“He’s one of the most dynamic players in the game,” manager Terry Francona said.

“He can change the game all the time — on defense, on the bases, at the plate — and not a lot of players can do that. He’s a really special player.”

This year, Crawford won his first Gold Glove, stole 47 bases and posted career highs of 19 homers and 90 RBIs. He hit .307, the fifth time in six seasons he was over .300. He also led the AL with 13 triples.

He’s led the league in stolen bases four times in his nine seasons, all with Tampa Bay. Now add that to slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, traded from the San Diego Padres a week earlier, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz, and opposing pitchers may not enjoy taking the Fenway Park mound with the short right field foul pole and the high Green Monster in left.

“Before the season even starts you tell in your mind ’World Series, postseason, all that stuff’ with Boston,” the 29-year-old Crawford said. “You know it actually might happen.”

Crawford had reached a preliminary agreement Wednesday night on a $142 million contract after becoming a free agent.

Gonzalez, 28 and entering the last year of his contract, is expected to sign a sevenyear extension in 2011.

Pedroia is signed through 2014 with a club option for 2015, Youkilis’ deal runs through 2012 with a club option for 2013, and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury can’t become a free agent until after the 2013 season.

That’s five key players the Red Sox could keep for three more years.

“It’s a pretty rare opportunity,” general manager Theo Epstein said, “for an organization to add two of the best players in the game, in my opinion, under 30 to a core that I feel is already young and in its prime.”

Beset by long-term injuries to Pedroia, Youkilis and Ellsbury, Boston finished third in the AL East behind the Rays and New York Yankees. The Red Sox also got subpar seasons from starters Josh Beckett and John Lackey.

Comebacks from that group would enhance prospects for winning the division and returning to the playoffs after last season’s absence.

Ellsbury, with a total of 120 stolen bases in 2008 and 2009, was limited to 18 games last season because of rib injuries. Almost fully recovered, he and Crawford, called by Epstein “a game changer,” could provide a speedy one-two punch at the top of the order. Crawford said he doesn’t mind where he hits in the lineup and Francona indicated it would be second or third.

“Our best team is when Jacoby’s hitting first,” Francona said.

The Crawford-Ellsbury combination could be just as impressive on defense.

“I know there’s a bunch of historical names and I just want to be part of that” group of Red Sox left fielders — Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Manny Ramirez, Crawford said. “Hopefully, I can go down as one of the best left fielders that played here.”

Red Sox scout Allard Baird attended most of his games in the second half last season. On Nov. 30, Epstein and Francona

SPORTS

met with Crawford and his agents Greg Genske and Brian Peters in Houston, Crawford’s hometown.

“We felt like we had made a connection with Carl at the meeting and that he was really intrigued by being part of our lineup, especially after we traded for Adrian,” Epstein said.

The Los Angeles Angels were the other serious bidder, but Crawford said he preferred to stay in the AL East.

“I have a 6-year-old son. I think he was a closet Boston fan,” he said. “When I told him I was coming to Boston he was more excited than me. And that’s when I knew I had made the right decision.”

Overshadowed by the signing of Crawford was the return of catcher Jason Varitek, 38, to the team for a 14th season on a $2 million plus incentives, one-year deal announced Friday. He’s expected to share playing time with and be a mentor to 25year-old Jerrod Saltalamacchia.

“More than any time in my career, I had probably the most interest from other teams,” Varitek said. “It’s awesome (to be back).”

Now he doesn’t have to try to throw out Crawford, who stole six bases against him in one game in 2009.

“He probably the most athletic player that’s in the game,” Varitek said. “Him on the bases speaks for itself. Him running down balls speaks for itself.”

Crawford will get many more cheers from the daily sellout crowds at Fenway than at his sparsely attended Rays home games.

UNM completes sweep of Rio Grande Rivalry

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Dairese Gary scored 16 points to lead New Mexico to a 78-62 victory and a series sweep over New Mexico State on Saturday night.

The Lobos (7-1) won both games from the Aggies (2-7) this season in the annual instate rivalry, which included an 84-78 overtime win on Dec. 4.

"To get two wins over State is always a big thing for us," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said.

Aggies guard Christian Kabongo finished with a career-high 21 points and Hamidu Rahman grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds while scoring 14 points.

"It was good Hamidu came back and played strong," said New Mexico State assistant coach Paul Weir, who was filling in as head coach for Marvin Menzies, who left the team this week following a death in the family. "Without that, it would have been a major difference offensively. We were able to keep going to Hamidu and force it inside."

But it was not enough to offset the balanced New Mexico attack. Kendall Williams, A.J. Hardeman and Phillip McDonald all also reached double digits for the Lobos.

New Mexico State played the second half without its leading scorer Troy Gillenwater, who was hampered by an ankle injury and ended up with just eight minutes of court time. His status going forward will be evaluated Sunday, Weir said.

Gillenwater, who entered the game averaging 20.4 points, recorded his only points with a 3-pointer at the 10:22 mark of the first half.

Yet the Aggies took a 46-45 lead with 15:22 remaining following a 10-0 run, with Kabongo scoring six of the points.

New Mexico responded with a 13-0 run of its own to go ahead 56-46 as five Lobos

SCOREBOARD

contributed points in the stretch.

Despite Rahman's effort that equaled a career high in rebounds, the Lobos dominated the boards, owning a 48-31 advantage, which was in direct contrast to the first meeting between the teams a week ago when the Aggies had a 25-10 offensive edge.

"It was a heavy emphasis," Alford said of the rebounding prominence. "We thought we were embarrassed, to be honest with you. To give up 25 offensive rebounds is embarrassing. And our guys have a lot of pride, so being embarrassed is not something they like."

Vikings’ Henderson sets standard in rehabbing leg

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — When E.J. Henderson was wheeled out of the trauma unit at an Arizona hospital, a titanium rod in his left leg where his thigh bone used to be, the Minnesota Vikings really didn’t know what to do next.

In all their research, they couldn’t find an instance of an NFL player who broke his femur in a game, let alone one who returned to play after the injury.

“You don’t see these injuries in professional football,” Vikings head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman said. “You see them in car accidents. We really couldn’t find any documented cases in the NFL when we looked into it.”

Former Minnesota Wild player Kurtis Foster went through it, but hockey is so different from football in what it requires of its athletes, so it was difficult to determine if the plan he used would work to get the Vikings’ middle linebacker back on the field.

So Sugarman and assistant athletic trainer Tom Hunkele set to work to put together a rehabilitation program that started from the most basic of movements — Henderson simply getting range of motion back in his leg — and took him all the way to the point where he was ready to once again chase down tight ends in the open field and collide with running backs in the hole.

“Maybe not a medical marvel,” Henderson said Friday. “I think we did a good job of putting together a femur fracture rehab. There wasn’t one out there before.

I’m definitely proud of the work we’ve done.”

On Dec. 6, 2009, Henderson collided with Vikings safety Jamarca Sanford in a game at Arizona, and his left femur essentially snapped in half and flopped grotesquely as he fell to the ground.

It was an extremely rare orthopedic emergency, Sugarman said, and Henderson quickly went into shock from the pain.

Medical personnel couldn’t give him an oral pain killer because he was going to have surgery immediately. His leg was put in a

splint and he was rushed to a local hospital, where a trauma surgeon went to work.

“You could just see the pain in his face,” Sugarman said. “He wasn’t saying anything.”

Henderson remained in Arizona for a few days before he could be transported home.

Once he arrived in Minnesota, he went to work determined to return to the field by the 2010 season opener.

“E.J. was truly one of those where I remember telling the staff at the end of the year, ‘This could be a career-threatening injury for this guy. We’re not really sure.

We’re not sure if he’s going to be able to get back to the function and the level that he needs to do his job,”’ Sugarman said.

The long, lonely days started with the slightest of motions, little leg lifts to get the blood flowing and made a very gradual progression that included simple taps of his toes in the pool to basic strengthening exercises.

“We set up all these landmarks and he surpassed all of them,” Sugarman said.

“Whatever landmark we set, he just blew right by it.”

In the dead of winter, while most his teammates were soaking up the sunshine in their offseason homes, Henderson was at the team’s headquarters, hurling himself through the grueling rehab process.

“The first few weeks were ridiculous. ...

It’s a pretty lonely feeling come February or March and everyone else is gone and here you are trying to fight your way back,” Sugarman said. “You’ve got to be pretty strong mentally to be able to conquer that.

He just never wavered. There never was a day where he had any doubt that he would be ready for our first game this year. That was the goal.”

Perry-Funk, Stricker-Kelly tied at Shark Shootout

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Champions Tour

players Fred Funk and Kenny Perry shot a 10-under 62 in better-ball play Saturday for a share of the second-round lead in the Shark Shootout with defending champions Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly.

Stricker and Kelly, who rallied to beat Perry and J.B. Holmes last year in the final round, had a 63 to match Funk and Perry at 18 under on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort’s Tiburon Golf Club course.

Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter shot a 64 to finish at 17 under.

The 12 teams will play a scramble format Sunday.

Last year, Perry and Holmes had a twostroke lead with four holes to play in the final-round scramble format, only to see Stricker and Kelly take the title.

“I’m not taking for granted anything,” said Perry, who won with John Huston in 2006 and Scott Hoch in 2008. “They’re great putters; we’re good putters. If I drive it well, it’s going to set up the whole day for us.”

Stricker and Kelly, both from Madison, Wis., birdied four of their last six holes.

“When we’re playing together and we’re feeding off each other, it’s fun,” said Kelly, who did most of the talking because Stricker is losing his voice. “A fun, competitive arena.

But we’re just really going to enjoy what we’re doing, and not really worry about where everybody else is.”

Perry birdied the first six holes of the day, and Funk made three of the team’s four remaining birdies. Funk was amazed by Perry’s streak, which ended when he missed a 4-footer for birdie on No. 7.

“Nobody’s hit it that good for that long a stretch that I’ve seen,” said Funk, who characterized Perry’s play as the best in his 21 or 22 years of professional golf. “That was phenomenal. I’ve seen some really good golf for 18 holes, but that seven holes was as good a quality as you’ll ever see.”

Perry admitted missing the short birdie putt shook him up a little bit.

“I was so zoned in for the first seven holes, when I missed that putt on No. 7, it was like somebody stuck a needle in a balloon,” he said. “Life just went right out of my body. It was the weirdest feeling. It was like all of a sudden my focus, I lost it for a few holes.”

Hagerman boys, Roswell girls win tourney titles Roswell Daily Record

RECORD STAFF REPORTS

ELIDA — The Hagerman boys basketball team captured the championship of the Elida Invitational and kept its perfect record intact on Saturday, dropping Quemado in the title game, 9465.

“We did really well throughout the game and, in the fourth quarter, we just picked up the intensity,” said Bobcat coach Anthony Mestas. “Quemado tried to press us in the fourth and we broke the press and moved the ball up the court.

“The seniors really stepped it up in the fourth quarter and handled it.”

Hagerman led 46-28 at the break before Quemado won the third quarter, 1815, to make it a 61-46 game going to the fourth. With Quemado pressing, Hagerman ran off a 33-point quarter and cracked the 90point plateau for the second time in three games at the tournament.

Isaac Bejarano led the way for the unbeaten Bobcats (7-0) with 29 points and seven assists. Edward Montoya added 27 points and seven steals, while Michael Garcia recorded his third straight double-double of the tournament with 27 points and 14 rebounds.

Artesia JV 55, Lake Arthur 36 LAKE AR THUR — The Lake Arthur boys basketball team let a six-point halftime lead slip away and fell to the Artesia junior varsity team in the championship game of the Panther Invitational in Lake Arthur on Saturday.

“It was a completely different ballgame in the second half,” said Panther coach Mark Lopez. “We started to get in foul trouble in the second quarter and got in severe foul trouble in the third quarter. “(Artesia) just beat us up inside and they started hitting shots. They were more intense than us and we just didn’t make the right

Lake Arthur fell behind 91 in the opening quarter, but battled back to take a 25-19 lead into the locker room. The Panthers, though, scored just 11 second-half points, including just three in the final quarter to fall to the Bulldogs.

Jacob Leblanc led the Panthers (4-5) with 12 points. Domingo Pisana and Angelo Rivera each had nine.

Gateway Christian 71, Cloudcroft JV 17 CLOUDCROFT — Every player on the Gateway Christian boys basketball team scored during its win over the Cloudcroft JV team on Saturday.

The Warriors (1-6) were led by Garrett Gill’s 23 points. Mason Miller chipped in with 16 points for Gateway, while Luke Grant netted six points.

Warrior coach Troy Grant said that getting to play everybody was big for his team.

“It is really important to us because we are so young,” he said. “We haven’t had that chance to get them any game experience so it was huge. I thought they did well tonight. Being able to get the young guys into the game and have them get that experience, was big for us.”

Valley Christian 59, Hondo Valley 44 LAKE ARTHUR — Taylor Line poured in 33 points, leading the Valley Christian boys basketball team to a win over Hondo Valley and a third-place finish at the Panther Invitational on Saturday.

Lion coach Randy Lyons said that Line was able to get his points in the flow of the game.

“Basically, he got his points in the flow of the offense,” he said. “We just executed well offensively.

We were bigger than they were but they were quicker.

We did a really good job of passing the ball and moving

without it. Tonight it was just Taylor’s turn.”

Billy Kolker netted 11 points for VCA (4-4), while Logan Rader dished out nine assists. Gus Gray had seven assists.

Lyons said that it was the best game the Lions have played this season.

“I thought this was the best game we’ve played this year,” he said. “Hondo’s a really scrappy team and a lot quicker and that can really present problems. I just thought defensively, we did a good job with them. We came back after the loss (to Lake Arthur) last night and played a really good game today. That is just another positive step for us.”

Tularosa 73, Dexter 49 TULAROSA — The Dexter boys basketball team fell behind by 10 after one quarter and could never dig out of the hole, falling to Tularosa in the championship game of the Tularosa Invitational on Saturday.

The Wildcats pulled ahead 20-10 after one and led by 11 at the break, before posting 38 secondhalf points to get the victory.

“In the first quarter, it was back-and-forth, but with about 4 minutes left there in the second quarter, (Tularosa) went on a run,” said Demon coach James Bracken. “Then we came back out in the second half and they were hot.

“We were disappointed that we didn’t get a win tonight, but, overall for the tournament, the kids realized they can play with anybody. As a coaching staff, we’re proud of them.”

Steven Marquez led Dexter (3-3) with 18 points, while Bryan Mireles had eight.

Lovington 70, NMMI 26 LOVINGTON — Lovington posted a third-quarter shutout and cruised to a win over the NMMI boys basketball team on Saturday in Lovington.

“When teams get aggressive with us, we’re having

of a sacred moment.”

All the uncertainty did not keep voters from making Newton an overwhelming choice — he received the sixth most first-place votes and the third highest percentage of first-place votes.

Though 105 voters among the 886 who retur ned ballots chose not to list him among their three selections.

“Obviously, like most people, I have my suspicions, but I don’t think it’s my position to pretend to know what is happening with the NCAA investigation,” said voter Stewart Mandel of SI.com.

It was impossible to

argue against his performance.

Blending a linebacker’s body with a tailback’s speed and quickness, the 6-foot-6, 250-pounder from Georgia has guided Auburn to a perfect season. His numbers are off the charts: an SEC-best 1,409 yards rushing with 21 touchdowns, and 2,589 yards passing and 28 TD passes. He’s the first SEC player to run for at least 1,000 yards and pass for at least 2,000 in the same season.

Early in the season, Auburn shredded defenses with Newton on the ground. Working out of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn’s spread attack,

“I just thought we had a better game tonight,” he said. “Our mood was more aggressive. You know, we competed (Friday) but we just turned the ball over way too many times. We took care of the ball better tonight and we did a much better job rebounding.

“The way we rebounded was huge. Anytime you can get more than one shot on the offensive end is huge.

You usually get the other team into foul trouble if you can. Cleaning up some

offensive rebounds and putting it back in was big.”

In the third quarter, Artesia decided to pound the ball in to the inside and opened the quarter on a 6-2 run.

Rader then went on a run, scoring the next seven points for Goddard as it ballooned its lead to 25 heading into the fourth quarter.

Rader led the way for the Rocket offense, pouring in 25 points, while Eric Johnson netted 18 points.

Artesia never threatened Goddard in the fourth quarter as both benches were

“We need to learn to handle pressure defense better.

Roswell 43, Clovis 31 RIO RANCHO — Ten different Lady Coyotes scored at least a point and Roswell captured the championship of the Mel Otero Invitational in Rio Rancho on Saturday.

“We know what our expectations are and we were frustrated that we did not beat Oñate, but I don’t think we win this tournament if we don’t lose to Oñate,” said Roswell coach Joe Carpenter. “We had three hard practices and they translated to three hard games. There was some excellent play here, so it felt good to come out on top.”

The Coyotes (5-1) held Clovis to eight first-half points en route to a 20-8 halftime lead before the two teams played to a 23-all deadlock in the second half.

“The zone really frustrated Clovis,” Carpenter said about the defensive performance. “They couldn’t get any shots from the outside and we made them penetrators. They missed a few easy shots, so that probably made it seem worse than it really was. It was a combination of them shooting themselves in the foot and us playing some good defense.”

Shanice Steenholdt was the lone Coyote in double figures with 16.

“It was basically a style of basketball that was less than acceptable in terms of effort,” he said. “It was our seventh game in nine days.

We ended up playing the game with six girls, so we got pretty tired. We came out pretty slow, so I don’t think you can attribute that to being tired.”

Navy beats Army for ninth straight time B4 Sunday, December 12, 2010

SPORTS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ricky Dobbs sat in a small room deep inside Lincoln Financial Field and recalled a team meeting from earlier this season. Navy had just lost to Air Force, the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy was slipping away, and the season was on the verge of doing the same.

“We had some very high expectations for ourselves and maybe they got the best of us,” the senior quarterback said. “We had that meeting and just said, ‘We have a lot of football to play and we need to start having fun.’”

Nothing is more fun than beating Army.

Dobbs threw the longest touchdown pass in the 111year history of the storied rivalry, Wyatt Middleton had the longest fumble return in Navy history, and the Midshipmen extended their winning streak against the Black Knights to nine straight with a 31-17 victory Saturday.

Dobbs passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns for Navy (9-3), one of 24 seniors to never lose to their rivals from West Point. The happy-go-lucky quarterback turned the ball over four times — three fumbles and an interception in the end zone — but also ran for a team-high 54 yards.

“Those turnovers drive you crazy,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said, “but that’s Ricky.”

Trent Steelman threw for 128 yards and two scores for

Army (6-6), but it was his fumble late in the first half that put the Black Knights in a hole too deep to escape.

They already trailed 17-7 with first-and-goal at the Navy 3 when Steelman was stood up on a quarterback keeper. The ball squirted from his hands and right to Middleton, who turned around to see nobody in a black jersey between him and the goal line. The 98yard return made it 24-7 at halftime, silencing the grayclad Cadets standing in their customary corner of the stadium.

Middleton, a senior, was named the game’s MVP. “They had us reeling there,” Niumatalolo said.

“We preached all week about not giving them a short field, and we gave them exactly that. But our defense stepped up.”

Army controlled the ball much of the second half, but could only muster Alex Carlton’s 42-yard field goal before Steelman’s late touchdown pass to Malcolm Brown provided the final margin.

“Our guys are in there, looking at each other like ‘We can hang with this bunch. We can compete there,’” Army coach Rich Ellerson said. “But that’s not the same as doing it, or not doing it for 60 minutes.”

Both teams lost to Air Force this season, ending the Midshipmen’s sevenyear grip on the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy awarded to the top service academy. But another victory over

Army — the game that matters most on the schedule every year — certainly helped to ease that sting.

Army is still headed to its first bowl game since 1996, the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 30 in Dallas against SMU. The Midshipmen play San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23.

The latest edition of one of college sports’ marquee matchups wasn’t pretty, perhaps because of long layoffs for both teams. The Army-Navy game was moved back on the schedule to separate it from the conference title games, so they hadn’t played a meaningful snap since Nov. 20.

It showed right away, when the two teams swapped turnovers in the first four offensive plays.

Joe Buckley finally struck for Navy with a 36-yard field goal. After the defense held, Dobbs found John Howell alone behind the coverage and hit him in the stride.

The sophomore outran both Army safeties 77 yards for the touchdown, the longest passing score in series history.

Dobbs made it 17-0 early in the second quarter when he zipped a pass to Brandon Turner between two defenders from 32 yards out. It was the first touchdown of Turner’s career and allowed Dobbs to match Alton Grizzard’s single-season school record with 12 touchdown passes.

The Black Knights finally scored with 8:19 left in the half when Steelman hit

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Top 10, Top 5, Tennessee does not care. To the Volunteers, the only way to beat good teams is to play them, even if it’s far away from Knoxville.

Even if it’s in Pittsburgh, where non-conference opponents go years and years without winning.

Scotty Hopson missed only three shots while slicing through No. 3 Pitt’s defense for a career-high 27 points and No. 11 Tennessee dealt the Panthers their first non-conference loss in Pittsburgh in nearly six years, winning 83-76 on Saturday.

Melvin Goins added 19 points and Cameron Tatum hit a succession of big shots while scoring 14 points as the Volunteers (7-0) opened leads of as many as 21 points against the Panthers (10-1). Pitt needed a late flurry to cut the final margin to single digits.

Brad Wanamaker scored 21 points, but Pitt — missing 17 free throws — lost a non-conference game in the city for the first time in 58 games, or since a Jan. 2, 2005 loss to Bucknell.

“They surprised us early on, and until the end of the game they kept bringing it

at us non stop,” Wanamaker said.

Tennessee (7-0) and Pitt are similar in size, makeup and a shared ability to play physically at both ends of the court, but with one difference. Tennessee plays more ranked non-conference opponents, and the Vols’ confidence level in playing such games showed.

“We’ve always played a tough schedule and tried to play a tough schedule,” coach Bruce Pearl said.

“When the opportunity presents itself, if you want to be a Top 25 program, you’ve got to act like one. The way you act like it is in scheduling.”

In the last two seasons, Tennessee has beaten four teams in the Top 5 at the time — No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Kentucky, No. 3 Pitt and No. 5 Ohio State. Pearl is 7-7 against Top 5 teams, the only Tennessee coach to be .500 or better against such highly ranked teams.

Last month, Tennessee beat then-No. 7 Villanova, also of the Big East, in New York.

“It’s better to win on the road, especially in hostile environments against a Top 10 team,” Tatum said. “You shut the crowd up.”

The SEC-Big East Invitational matchup was played at the new Consol Energy Center rather than Pitt’s oncampus Petersen Events Center, and it certainly was not a home-court advantage for the Panthers.

They hadn’t played a team ranked this high in Pittsburgh, outside of Big East play, since a 66-49 loss to then-No. 11 North Carolina in December 1995 — and it showed.

Pitt couldn’t match the Volunteers’ size and quickness, especially on the defensive end. The Panthers came in as the nation’s No. 1 rebounding team, averaging 16.7 rebounds per game more than their opponents, only to be outrebounded 3432 as Tobias Harris had seven.

“I think it’s big step for our team,” Goins said. “It shows we can play in a hostile environment against a big, tough team.”

With Hopson hitting an NBA-length 3-pointer, a baseline jumper and a close-in jumper, Tennessee took leads of 12-6 and 14-9, then ran off seven consecutive points highlighted by Tatum’s 3-pointer to take a 21-11 lead with 12 1/2 minutes left in the first half.

“They made tough shots,” Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said.

“They beat us at our own game. We dug too big a hole to come back from. ... We didn’t make free throws and they did. We didn’t make 3s in the first half and they did. We didn’t make the shots underneath and they did.”

Hopson had 16 points by halftime on 6-of-8 shooting and was 10 of 13 overall, 3 for 3 from 3-point range.

By contrast, Pitt’s leading scorer, Ashton Gibbs, missed eight of his first nine shots before finishing with 15 points on 4 of 13 shooting. Gilbert Brown also scored 15.

“We showed we can guard,” Tatum said. “If we continue to do that we can play with anybody in the country. It’s not all about offense that wins championships.”

With Goins making 10 of 12 free throws, Tennessee was 22 of 30 at the line to Pitt’s 25 of 42, one reason the Panthers never made a real push for the lead.

Brown from 5 yards out, their first touchdown against Navy since the fourth quarter of the 2006 game.

That’s 201 minutes, 43 seconds of game time for those keeping track.

Army was poised to get within a field goal at halftime when Steelman plunged for the goal line with 1:03 remaining. He lost

control of the ball, though, and Army lost control of the game.

As the final seconds ticked off the clock in the fourth quarter, players on both sidelines came together at midfield to shake hands.

Then the Midshipmen headed to celebrate with their classmates in the corner of the endzone, a scene that’s

become all too familiar for Army.

“Those guys are good,” said senior linebacker Stephen Anderson, who will never know what it’s like to beat Navy. “Those guys are going to be my future brothers-in-arms, so as much as I hate to say it, I’ve got nothing but respect for those guys.”

Vols top Panthers, 83-76 Florida hires Muschamp

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has left the Longhorns to take over at Florida.

Muschamp will succeed Urban Meyer, who won two national championships in six seasons with the Gators but resigned Wednesday after a 7-5 season.

The 39-year -old Muschamp spent three seasons at Texas, where he was the head-coach-inwaiting to replace Mack Brown.

Muschamp, who lived in Gainesville for 10 years as a child, said taking over the Florida program is a “dream come true.”

“I grew up watching the Gators and whatever other SEC team was on television,” Muschamp said in a statement. “I have great memories watching SEC football with my father on Saturdays and playing football in the back yard with my two brothers right here in Gainesville.”

Muschamp will be introduced at a news conference Tuesday evening.

Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said Muschamp was the “only person we met with and the only person we offered the job to.”

Foley said Muschamp’s familiarity with the Southeastern Conference — he graduated from Georgia

and coached at Auburn and LSU — was an important factor. So was his knowledge of recruiting in Florida.

“We wanted a candidate who was high energy and had been on the big stage,” Foley said in a statement. “We wanted a candidate who was respected by his players and his peers, and we wanted someone who had a passion for the University of Florida. Coach Muschamp is all of those things and more.”

Muschamp was already one of the hottest names among assistant coaches when he was hired at Texas before the 2008 season.

Internet video clips of his expletive-filled tirades on the sidelines at Auburn excited Longhorns fans.

He had alternate nicknames of “Coach Boom!” for his noted enthusiasm and “Coach Blood” because he once ignored blood pouring down his face after a cut in the first game of the 2008 season.

Muschamp was only 11 games into his stint at Texas when the university surprisingly announced a deal to nearly double his salary to $900,000 and make him the headcoach-in-waiting behind Brown.

Brown was behind the move but insisted he had

no plans to retire, leaving some to wonder if Muschamp would have the patience to put in the years at Texas before taking over.

“More than anything, I want to thank Mack Brown,” Muschamp said.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity he gave me and my family and all of the guidance. He is the best in the business, and I can’t say enough about everything he did to help prepare me for this. He really wanted it to work out for me to be the future coach at Texas, but this was just an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

“It’s close to my family and my wife’s family, and like Texas, Florida is just a tremendous place in a great conference. I would not have left for any other job.”

Muschamp’s defense was a key part of the Texas 25-2 run over the 2008-2009 seasons that saw the Longhorns rise to No. 1 for a month in 2008 and play for the BCS national championship last season.

The defense faltered badly in 2010, however, as Texas went 2-5 at home and suffered its first losing season in 13 years with dismal losses to UCLA, Iowa State and Kansas State.

Prove it time for Bears, Jaguars, Rams SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

Three division leaders get a chance to prove their worth this weekend. For the Rams and Bears, the task couldn’t be much more difficult. For the Jaguars, the challenge is somewhat easier.

St. Louis, which won only once last season, heads to New Orleans, where the Saints celebrated their first Super Bowl title in February. A mismatch? Hardly.

The Rams are tied for the NFC West lead at 6-6 and won their last two road games. Even if beating the Saints is beyond their reach, getting into the postseason isn’t.

“Of course we respect the fact they won the Super Bowl, but that was last year,” Rams cornerback Ron Bartel said. “We’re more concerned with ourselves.

It’s a big game for us, we’re trying to get to the playoffs.

It’s a big game for them, they’re trying to win their division just like us. So the Super Bowl and all that, that’s out of the window.”

Chicago (9-3 and atop the NFC North) hosts AFC East leader New England and gets the opportunity to show all those skeptics that its turnaround is for real.

Bill Belichick believes.

After calling the Bears’ third-ranked defense “disruptive,” the Patriots coach then praised Chicago’s offense and special teams.

“They’re a very explosive team that can score on any play from anywhere,” Belichick said. “They can throw a 90-yard touchdown pass or (Matt) Forte can make a 67, 70-yard run. Or (they get a) strip sack, turnovers, kick returns.

They’re very, very dangerous.”

Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio was on the hot seat when the season began.

Now he is in the AFC South driver’s seat: if the Jaguars win out, they take the division title. The first step toward that could be taken against Oakland on Sunday.

“We’ve embraced every challenge, kind of identified what it is and then gotten prepared for the opportunities,” Del Rio said. “It hasn’t always played out the way we’d like, but I think we’ve learned some lessons from those experiences, and then we go back and make the corrections and keep plugging ahead, and so that part’s been very good.”

Four teams: New England, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and the New York Jets, can clinch playoff berths, although it’s a complicated scenario for all but the Patriots (10-2). If they win, they’re in.

The Steelers are home for Cincinnati, the Falcons at Carolina and the Jets host Miami.

Also Sunday, it’s Philadelphia at Dallas, the New York Giants at Minnesota, Green Bay at Detroit, Kansas City at San Diego, Seattle at San Francisco, Tampa Bay at Washington, Cleveland at Buffalo, and Denver at Arizona.

On Monday night, Baltimore is at Houston.

The weekend began with Indianapolis edging Tennessee 30-28 Thursday night. Peyton Manning threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns, as the Colts snapped their three-game skid. Manning broke out of the worst slump of his career with a crisp performance against a defense that hasn’t intercepted a pass in 14 straight quarters.

The Colts (7-6) haven’t lost four straight since 2001, when their five-game slide prompted Jim Mora’s famous rant about the playoffs.

Tennessee (5-8) has lost six straight.

St. Louis (6-6) at New Orleans (9-3) New Orleans has won five in a row and now hits the toughest portion of its schedule, with Baltimore, Atlanta and Tampa Bay still to come. Saints coach Sean Payton definitely includes the Rams as part of that difficult stretch.

“It’s a different team now,” Payton said. “They’re doing so many different things better than a year ago.”

Especially at quarterback, where overall No. 1 draft pick Sam Bradford has been sensational.

New England (10-2) at Chicago (9-3) Forget 45-3. That’s the mantra in New England, where Belichick emphasizes that the annihilation of the Jets on Monday night will have no effect on the matchup with the Bears, who have won five in a row, one more than the Patriots have.

The Patriots also could get into the playoffs even if they lose at Chicago. They’d need a loss or tie by Miami plus a loss or tie by Jacksonville; or a loss or tie by Miami along with a loss or tie by Indianapolis. They could also earn a spot by clinching a complicated strength of victory tiebreaker over certain teams.

New England leads the league with 379 points.

Chicago has yielded 192, third fewest overall.

Oakland (6-6) at Jacksonville (7-5) The Raiders rarely fare well traveling way east, but they almost never used to beat San Diego either, and last week’s 28-13 win gave them a sweep of the Chargers. Oakland has lost 38-13

at Tennessee and 35-3 at Pittsburgh this year.

Watch the running backs in this game, and keep close attention to the field because this one could be done in 2 1/2 hours or less.

Cincinnati (2-10) at Pittsburgh (9-3) Oddsmakers have the Steelers as the favorite to win the Super Bowl heading into the final month of the schedule. They shouldn’t have much trouble with a Bengals squad on a ninegame skid and with 25 turnovers; Pittsburgh leads the AFC with 27 takeaways.

After this, the Steelers have the Jets, Panthers and Browns left, so their path to the playoffs shouldn’t be too bumpy. They’ll be in with a win and a combination of other results this weekend.

Atlanta (10-2) at Carolina (1-11) The last time the Falcons were 10-2 was 1998, when they made the Super Bowl.

They clinch an NFC playoff berth with a win if two of the following three teams lose Sunday: Giants, Eagles and Packers. Their sevengame winning streak is the longest since ’98.

Carolina has lost six straight. One way of measuring the difference in these teams: Falcons WR Roddy White leads the NFL with 91 catches. WR Steve Smith tops Carolina with 39.

Miami (6-6) at N.Y. Jets (9-3) How the Jets react to their pasting by the Patriots will say a lot about the team that still is in great shape for the postseason. Remember, the Jets sneaked in as a wild card last year, then went to the AFC title game and even led Indianapolis at halftime.

New York can clinch a berth with a win and losses or ties by San Diego and Jacksonville, or by San Diego and Indianapolis.

Miami is 5-1 on the road and LB Cameron Wake leads the NFL with 12 sacks.

Baltimore (8-4) at Houston (5-7) Late-game flops by the Ravens are getting to be worrisome; they did it against Pittsburgh last Sunday and also have fallen short in fourth quarters against Atlanta and New England. They are 15-1 against sub-.500 teams since 2008, though, and the Texans have dropped five of six.

Texans RB Arian Foster leads the NFL with 1,230 yards rushing, 13 TDs rushing and 1,709 yards from scrimmage. But Baltimore is stingy on the ground.

Philadelphia (8-4) at Dallas (4-8) For Philly to win the NFC East, it might need to beat the Cowboys twice in the next four weeks. Of course, Donovan McNabb, who struggled when the Eagles lost three straight to Dallas, two at the end of last season — including a playoff game — now is in Washington.

This prime-time affair features the league’s top offense with Michael Vick.

Philadelphia has set an NFL record averaging at least 4 yards per carry in 12 consecutive games, with Vick’s running as challenging to opponents as his passing.

Dallas is 3-1 under interim coach Jason Garrett.

N.Y. Giants (8-4) at Minnesota (5-7) New York has survived very nicely despite a slew of injuries at receiver and on the offensive line. The Giants are getting healthier at the right time, while Minnesota is banged up.

The Vikings may be better off with the more mobile Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback given Brett Favre’s health concerns. New York has 35 sacks, led by Osi Umenyiora with nine and

Justin Tuck with eight.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson really has come alive since the coaching change from Brad Childress to Leslie Frazier, who is 2-0.

“I think we got a taste of some success,” said Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe, a former Giant. “We tasted that blood. We’re like cannibals, man. We want more, man. We want more, more, more.”

Green Bay (8-4) at Detroit (2-10) Shockingly, considering their record, the Lions are plus-1 in turnover differential. That’s about the only positive to report out of Detroit as the team slinks toward yet another high draft choice. It’s lost 19 straight in the division and 10 in a row to the Packers.

Green Bay’s running game must come around down the stretch, but the Packers are a matchup nightmare in the passing game, especially the way WR Greg Jennings is playing. And LB Clay Matthews leads an aggressive defense that quickly could rattle third-string QB Drew Stanton.

Kansas City (8-4) at San Diego (6-6) Four-time defending AFC West champion San Diego will be eliminated from the division race with a loss, dropping three games behind the Chiefs with three to play, and the Chargers would have been swept by KC. But Chiefs QB Matt Cassel, having an excellent year, underwent an appendectomy Wednesday.

A week after allowing 251 yards rushing in a 28-13 loss to Oakland, the Chargers face Jamaal Charles, who’s third in the NFL with 1,137 yards, and Thomas Jones, who has 765 yards.

Seattle (6-6) at San Francisco (4-8) Yes, the Niners remain alive in the NFC West, and

But a loss could eliminate San Francisco, which began the season as the division favorite.

Alex Smith is back as 49ers starting quarterback following a five-game absence.

Matt Hasselbeck is one victory from tying Dave Krieg as Seattle’s all-time winningest quarterback with 70 wins.

Tampa Bay (7-5) at Washington (5-7) One major distraction has been removed in DC as Albert Haynesworth was suspended for the remainder of the season for conduct detrimental to the Redskins. Even so, this is a team with deep-rooted problems on both sides of the ball.

Even with losses in their last two games, the Buccaneers remain in wild-card contention. They are winless against teams with winning records in 2010. The

league’s youngest team has 15 TDs scored by rookies, the only team with rookies accounting for more than half (15 of 29) of its TDs.

Cleveland (5-7) at Buffalo (2-10) Buffalo crashed to earth at Minnesota after testing some of the league’s top teams and winning two games. The Browns have been competitive for six weeks and RB Peyton Hillis joined Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly as the only Cleveland players to score 11 TDs rushing in one season. Add two touchdowns receiving, and Hillis accounts for more than half the Browns’ 25 scores.

Denver (3-9) at Arizona (3-9) Denver’s first game under interim coach Eric Studesville could be a success considering how the Cardinals have nose-dived.

Not many people will be paying attention.

OBITUARIES held on Saturday, Dec. 18, at 1 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Roswell. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations, if desired, may be made to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. Children were always drawn to our dad, and it would make him happy knowing that he was continuing to help children in need.

Robert William Townsley

Peacefully in the early hours of Dec. 7, and surrounded by his loving family, Robert William Townsley left this earth and entered heaven. He died as he lived — with dignity, grace, determination and a strong faith that his life was in God’s hands.

He is survived by the love of his life, Betty, and his three children and their families. Carol Townsley, Curran and Bree-Ann Faris, Brenna Faris and Evan Faris of Winnipeg, Bill, Sharon, Danielle and Trevor Townsley of Houston, and Colleen and Michael Fowler of Chicago all mourn the loss of a wonderful father and grandfather. Bob was predeceased by his father, William Townsley, his mother, Dorothy Blackman Townsley, and his sister Ellen Freeth. He will also be deeply missed by many nieces and cousins, nephews, by sister-in-law Nancy Bewick of Winnipeg and brother and sister -in law Ken and Eileen Gregg of Brampton, Ont., and by dear friends Don and Barb Elwell and family.

Bob was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was part of a close knit and loving family. He began his career in bus manufacturing at Motor Coach Industries in Winnipeg, where he reached the position of maintenance supervisor.

Professionally, Bob had a reputation for a strong work ethic, mechanical expertise and the ability to solve any problem. In 1974 he was part of a team that brought the Transportation Manufacturing Corporation to Roswell. Bob greatly enjoyed his years at TMC as industrial engineering manager.

He was recognized as an innovative and loyal employee, as well as a respected boss and leader who brought out the best in whomever he worked with.

Upon retirement in 1992, Bob and Betty embraced the next stage of their life, taking many trips and spending five months of the year at their beloved Brereton Lake in Manitoba. It was at the lake that our Dad was truly happiest. He enjoyed each and every day, always grateful for the opportunity to fish, putter, work on his latest building project and most importantly, gather his family around him. The lake became the place where his scattered family gathered each year. The annual Family Day Horseshoe Tournament was always a highlight, drawing relatives that numbered in the 30s.

The foundation of Bob’s life was his Christian faith.

Bob met his beloved wife, Betty, at a church singles group. Together they served as active members in the church for their entire lives, providing service in a number of ways. Of significance was Bob’s role in reinstating the Cowboy Bell at First United Methodist. Dad’s faith was unshakable. It was a source of strength for him during good and difficult times and especially in the months of his illness.

Another important aspect to Bob’s life was his Masonic affiliation. He became a Mason in 1949, serving as Master in 1962. He continued in the Masonry in Roswell, and was also an active member of the Shrine.

The family wishes to thank the many doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals in Roswell, Lubbock, Houston and Chicago who gave Bob such excellent care over the years. He was a star patient, and grateful, always.

A memorial service will be

Huge crowd rallies in Rome against Berlusconi

ROME (AP) — Tens of thousands of Italians opposed to Premier Silvio Berlusconi marched through Rome on Saturday, before a make-or-break vote in Parliament, to press their demand that the media mogul leave power.

The Berlusconi government’s survival hinges on whether he can muster enough support among lawmakers despite stinging defections by important allies. If he loses the no-confidence motion, brought by the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, or the confidence vote made in the Senate by his supporters, on Tuesday, he must resign.

Pier Luigi Bersani, the leader of the main center-left opposition Democratic Party, led a rally of 100,000 supporters in St. John Lateran Square after the anti-Berlusconi protesters marched peacefully but noisily for hours through the Italian capital.

“Berlusconi must go home,” Bersani said to roaring cheers.

While Berlusconi’s gover nment — halfway through its five-year-term — has been battered by defections and lashed by scandal, the opposition has failed to come up with a leader who can match the premier’s charisma.

Rome magistrates are investigating allegations by another opposition leader, former anti-corruption prosecutor Antonio Di Pietro, that Berlusconi’s camp has been “buying” the support of waffling legislators.

Berlusconi dismisses such suspicion.

“Shame, shame, shame, shame!” Bersani shouted about the allegations of vote-buying. “Adding a deputy or two, where do they think they’ll get? You can’t go on like that,” Bersani said.

Berlusconi has been taunting the left, saying its leaders are afraid of an election now.

Bersani insisted that, while the opposition “certainly isn’t afraid of elections,” the best course for the country, in the grip of a stagnant economy, would be a “transition” government until elections can be held.

The 74-year-old premier spent the day shaking hands with supporters in Milan as his People of Freedom party set up booths asking citizens to sign an appeal in support of Berlusconi.

He has brushed off fallout from months of sex scandals, including allegations he had a 17-year-old Moroccan girl at a private party at his residence one night and had an encounter with a prostitute.

Berlusconi insisted again Saturday his government still commands enough votes in Parliament to govern and welcomed any defectors who want to return to his fold.

“We’re convinced we have a good majority” in Parliament to survive Tuesday’s votes, he said.

Some lawmakers loyal to Gianfranco Fini, his party’s co-founder who broke with Berlusconi over the summer, are reportedly considering voting in favor of Berlusconi.

Moscow police, mourners clash

Protesters rally in central Moscow on Saturday to protest the shooting death of a soccer fan Yegor Svidorov, 28, who was killed on Dec. 6, in an attack on soccer supporters.

MOSCOW (AP) — Police clashed with thousands of soccer fans and nationalists who gathered near the Kremlin on Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of a man on the streets of Moscow. At least three people were reported injured and 65 detained.

The crowd of more than 2,000 was distraught over the death on Monday of Yegor Svidorov, a member of the Spartak team’s fan organization, who was shot with rubber bullets Monday in a fight at a bus stop.

A suspect arrested in the shooting is from Kabardino-Balkaria in the Caucasus. That fanned the persistent resentment that many Slavic Russians hold for the dark-complexioned Caucasus ethnic groups.

A Moscow court on Saturday also authorized the arrest of two other suspects, both from the Caucasus region of Dagestan.

The demonstrators on Manezh Square next to the Kremlin shouted nationalist invective such as “Russia for Russians” and shouted abuse at police in riot gear who were trying to control the crowd.

Demonstrators threw flares at the police and some stripped large ornaments off a Christmas tree in the square to fling at the officers.

When the crowd tried to break through the police line, police waded in, swinging batons and trying to disperse the demonstrators.

The state news agency RIA Novosti said at least three people were seriously injured. Police

spokesman Viktor Biryukov was quoted by Russian media as saying 65 people had been detained.

Moscow police chief Vladimir Kolokoltsev met with leaders of the demonstrators and promised Svidorov’s death would be thoroughly investigated. Most of the crowd dispersed about an hour after the violence began.

However, Interfax reported that some demonstrators later clashed with police at a subway station below the square after trying to storm a train on which they’d spotted a passenger who appeared to be of Caucasus origin.

Earlier Saturday, several thousand mourners gathered at the bus stop in northern Moscow where Svidorov was killed to lay flowers.

MADRID (AP) — The U.S. grew so concerned about the possibility of an Islamist terrorist attack in Spain in 2007 that it proposed setting up a counterterrorism center in the country’s second-largest city, according to confidential cables.

The three U.S. cables, released by WikiLeaks on Saturday, say the U.S. planned the “counterterrorism, anti-crime and intelligence center” at its consulate in Barcelona.

The goal was “combating the target-rich environment of terrorist and criminal activities centered in the region,” which has a “presence of over 1 million Muslims,” a 2007 cable says.

In March 2004, a total of 191 people were killed and more than 1,800 wounded in bombing attacks on Madrid commuter trains.

Islamic militants claimed responsibility.

One U.S. cable, dated 2005, sets the scene, saying that “Spain is both a significant target of Islamic terrorist groups and a major logistical hub for Islamic extremist groups operating across the globe.”

The 2007 cable says Spain “is a past and current al-Qaida target” and a critical player in U.S.-EU counterterrorism efforts.

It says Barcelona has a large Muslim population “susceptible to jihadist recruitment” and adds that “Spanish and U.S. authorities have identified Catalonia as a major Mediterranean center of radical Islamist activity.”

According to the cable, heavy immigration — both legal and illegal — from North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria) and Southeast Asia (Pakistan and Bangladesh) had made the region “a magnet for terrorist recruiters.”

The plans for the proposed center say 13 agents would be strategically situ-

ated to monitor quickly who and what was passing through the area from places such as Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and the south of France.

“The threat in Catalonia is clear,” the cable says, categorizing Barcelona as a “crossroads of worrisome activities” and a natural meeting place and transit point of people and goods moving to and through the region from all countries bordering the wester n Mediterranean.

It is not clear whether the center was ever created, and the U.S. Embassy in Madrid declined to comment about that Saturday.

Embassy spokesman Jeff Galvin would only say that the U.S. and Spain enjoy “excellent cooperation” in counterterrorism investigations.

This view is echoed in an October 2006 U.S. cable, which says that Spain “has made great strides in disrupting terrorist cells and frustrating would-be terrorist plots” and that the U.S. was pleased with Spain’s counterterrorism cooperation.

Last month, 11 men — nine of Pakistani nationality or origin — went on trial in Barcelona for allegedly plotting to stage suicide attacks in that city on orders from the Pakistan Taliban.

Police foiled the alleged plan with a series of raids in January 2008 after a member of the cell designated to blow himself up got cold feet and alerted authorities, a Spanish prosecutor said.

Candidates reject recount in sloppy Haiti election PORT -AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Two top candidates in Haiti’s disputed presidential election are rejecting a proposed recount, threatening to torpedo a compromise aimed at quelling days of riots and violence over allegations the vote was rigged, their campaigns said Saturday.

The snub by No. 1 finisher Mirlande Manigat and by thirdplace Michel Martelly leaves the impoverished nation dangerously volatile, with much of the population rejecting the officially announced outcome of the Nov. 28 election and many willing to protest with violence.

Only the ruling party candi-

date, Jude Celestin, supports the electoral council’s offer to retabulate tally sheets from thousands of polling stations around the Caribbean nation.

Blockades and rock-throwing continued in a few areas, but violence had largely subsided in most parts of the capital by Saturday and many people rushed to reopened markets to stock up on food, water, fuel and other supplies in fear that more protests could erupt again.

For mer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a potential U.S. presidential candidate, shrugged off a U.S. travel warning and arrived in the Haitian capital on Satur-

day, accompanying evangelist Franklin Graham on a visit expected to include choleratreatment centers and other projects undertaken by his charity group.

Manigat, a law professor and former first lady, had 31 percent of the vote in the official preliminary count and is all but guaranteed a spot in a Jan. 16 runoff between the top two finishers.

She rejected the re-count because the electoral council failed to propose clear procedures or a timetable, her campaign said in a statement issued Friday. She said she was open to other initiatives to settle the cri-

sis.

Martelly finished a few thousand votes behind Celestin and would be eliminated from a runof f if the current results stand. His supporters have led many of the protests that paralyzed the capital for most of the week and he joined many of the other 18 candidates in denouncing the election as rigged well before the polls closed.

“We cannot accept a re-count by the very same group that manipulated the elections in the first place,” Martelly told The Associated Press on Saturday.

He said a fair count would show that he placed first.

Celestin’s campaign also claims the result was botched — saying he finished first rather than second. Sen. Joseph Lambert, who heads his campaign, told AP on Saturday that they “accept the recount process (to ensure) the transparency of the system.”

Everyone agrees the election had widespread problems, taking place in a nation suffered from disorganization even before a January earthquake threw a million people into the streets and a deadly cholera epidemic began sweeping across the countryside.˚

A Christmas of warmth, love

Erin Green Photo

Carrie-Leigh Cloutier accepts the cash collected by KBIM’s Tom A. Ruiz in the station’s Make A Smile Happen collection drive recently. The station collected several carts of toys, as well as $270 in cash, to donate to CASA for the Christmas season.

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR

The CASA Kids Christmas Store will be open Dec. 17 for foster parents to give kids a good Christmas

Imagine a 5-year-old boy going hungry because his mom’s buying drugs to feed her habit rather than food to feed her son.

Imagine a 10-year -old girl whose dad beats her up for the slightest reason — or, for no reason at all.

Imagine a 12-year-old girl and her 10-year-old brother who can’t wear short sleeves because the bruises will show where their mother’s boyfriend beat them.

Imagine a 7-year-old who is molested regularly by a family member.

Imagine being a child in any of these situations.

Imagine being the child who doesn’t want to leave school at the end of every school day — the child who hates the weekends because of the horrible things that go on at home, the child who goes hungry becasue of a parents’ drug habit or the child who doesn’t know where his parents are or when he might eat next.

Imagine being the child whose teacher, neighbor or guardian steps in to help. Imagine going to a foster home filled with things you may have never had, filled with food and warmth and love.

Imagine being such a child.

The need is incredible, said CarrieLeigh Cloutier, executive director of Chaves County CASA. The recession is one reason, but the holiday season is also a major factor — child abuse rises during the holiday season, she said.

And, unfortunately, because of the state budget deficit and budget cuts coming from Santa Fe, “there is no money or resources to help abused kids this year,” Cloutier said.

While no programs have yet been cut locally, Cloutier called the cuts “enormous,” adding since the recession began, CASA’s seen more than $200,000 in contracts cut.

But the cuts don’t stop abuse and neglect, she said. In fact, at times such as these, they often see situations worsen.

“Everything compounds during the holidays,” Cloutier said. “We see the stress start after Halloween. After Thanksgiving, it explodes. ... The pressure on families becomes worse. The

ent before, according to Cloutier.

tensions in the families becomes worse. Custody battles become worse.

The tensions in families who can’t provide, the family that can’t buy groceries but the son wants in iPod —

these donations help prevent child abuse.”

And that is why the CASA Kids Christmas Store helps make the holidays brighter for area foster kids,

Cloutier said.

CASA serves more than 1,400 children from birth through age 18 in Chaves County each year who have been abused, abandoned, neglected, sexually molested, at-risk or who are victims of domestic violence.

Many of those children are profoundly underprivileged and have never received a gift, Cloutier said.

That’s where CASA’s Kids Christmas Store comes in. Through community donations, CASA will open its Christmas Store from 1-5 p.m., Friday, Dec. 17, for parents and foster parents to come to CASA’s offices to shop for free among the toys, clothing, bicycles and other gifts available for the programs’ children and youth.

Especially needed are items for teenagers and items such as T-shirts, underwear and socks, which are distributed to youth at the Juvenile Detention Center.

“So often they’re kids who are not bad kids,” Cloutier said. “They’ve just had zero family support. Often, they’ve been abused. THey just need a break.”

Donated items are due to the CASA offices, 500 N. Main St., Ste. 310, in the Bank of America building, by by 5 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 16.

Luckily for CASA, donations are already coming in — Cloutier received four shopping carts’ worth of toys and $270 in cash from the staff of KBIM 94.9, collected during a five-hour period in front of Walmart through its Make A Smile Happen toy collection drive.

“We want to thank the outpouring of the community.” said Tom A. Ruiz of KBIM. “Without them, we couldn’t have made this happen.”

Cloutier said she is always extremely grateful for the community support and by those in the community who go above and beyond to help CASA. “We’re always just mind-boggled by the generosity and by the hopes that we will be able to continue our programs,” Cloutier said, adding that the people can donate through the CASA website, www.casakids.org.

First Christmas after divorce not very merry for kids

Q: My ex-wife and I have had a lot of rough holidays together, but this is our first one since our divorce. Now, we’re negotiating who gets the kids when, and it’s terrible — especially for our kids. How can we help them have a “merry Christmas”?

JULI: Some experts on divorce have described it as a death — the death of a family, a marriage and a dream of happily ever after. As with any death, there is gut-wrenching grief associated with the loss, and learning to adapt to a “new normal.” At no time is this more poignant than at the holidays. Your kids are grieving the loss of their family as much as you are. It’s OK to let them express that and acknowledge that this Christmas will be difficult for everyone.

Although everyone gets hurt in a divorce, the children are the most obvious victims. They had no say in what happened, yet have to live with the painful aftermath.

Research indicates that one of the top predictors of a child’s stability after divorce is the health of the relationship between his parents. Whatever conflicts, wounds and feelings you have toward each other, put them aside for the holidays and give your children a conflict-free Christmas. I’d encourage your former wife and you to do whatever you can to work together to make the holidays smooth for your kids.

If possible, share Christmas morning, celebrating together, or pitch in together to buy your kids gifts from both of you, instead of competing for who bought more gifts. I know these suggestions may sound far-fetched

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

given the hostility that often accompanies divorce, but your kids deserve your effort toward peace. More than any shiny package under the Christmas tree, your children most want and need to know that Mom and Dad love them and are not going to fight over them. ** ** ** Q: Every Christmas, my kids get caught up in the desire for the latest toys and electronic gadgets. Not only is this expensive for my husband and me, but it seems to miss the point of Christmas entirely. Without being preachy, how can we teach our kids that it’s not just about getting stuff?

JIM: Children have a tendency to feel that the world revolves around them. Our culture encourages this problem by telling kids — and adults, too — to look out for No. 1. The materialism of the Christmas season only aggravates the problem.

In her book “Fun-Filled Parenting,” author Silvana Clark suggests that one of the best antidotes for self-cen-

teredness is to volunteer as a family. It might be serving at a soup kitchen, or hosting a neighborhood bake sale and giving the proceeds to charity, or taking part in a church service project, or putting together Christmas care packages for the troops.

According to Clark, volunteering helps children learn four valuable lessons. First, it helps them understand that they’re not the center of the universe. Second, it enables kids to learn responsibility and gain self-confidence.

Third, it puts them in touch with community resources and groups that depend on volunteers. And finally, volunteering helps kids build relationships with positive role models — men and women who have invested their lives in reaching out.

Here’s something that will really blow your kids’ minds: have them go through their stuff and identify a few things (in good condition) to give away to a needy family or shelter this year. Or better yet, have them pool their allowance and buy a few new items! This kind of selflessness goes against just about everything they're hearing from the culture. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Sometimes the best gift is the one that gets used This product image courtesy of Nordstrom shows the Caslon Long Cardigan in a range of colors.

SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Some gifts can seem last-minute and impersonal even if they’re actually quite lovely and usable.

You probably reach for those black cashmere gloves or light up the vanilla-scented candle far more often than you wear the funky necklace or beaded top that were under the Christmas tree last year.

It’s hard to get jazzed up about gloves, right?

Ed Bucciarelli, CEO and president of upscale accessories-and-beauty retailer Henri Bendel, says you wouldn’t feel that way if they were the “per fect” gloves.

Perfect doesn’t mean a painstaking search, though. As long as you know a few key things about the people you’re giving presents to, such as their initials (and if you don’t, maybe your list is too long), then thoughtful giftgiving can be essentially effortless, Bucciarelli says.

Monograms, favorite colors, scents that trigger childhood memories or this year’s hottest trends add the right level of detail to elevate a gift, say experts.

And don’t forget the pretty package. The gift wrap, says Linda Lee, group vice president of Macy’s by Appointment shopping service, is what makes the first impression.

Advice on tur ning a potentially boring gift into a great one: —SCARVES AND GLOVES Bendel’s Bucciarelli thinks a leopard-print scarf is fail-safe. It’s ageless and goes with almost any coat, yet it always updates your look, he says. “My 16-year-

old daughter and my 80year-old mother each want one.”

Nina Garcia, Marie Claire fashion director and Target style consultant, says women can never have too many lace scarves: They can transform any outfit into something romantic.

She, however, is hoping Santa Claus has fur trimmed gloves with her name on them. “Everyone has gloves but not everyone has fur -trimmed gloves,” she says. “You might not think about buying these for yourself, but it’s a little touch of luxury you can give to someone else.”

(She also points out to Santa the matching trapper hat.)

Cashmere is Macy’s Lee’s top choice, again because they’re a bit of an indulgence, yet available at many price points.

But Gifts.com adviser Dana Holmes says the gloves people really need this holiday season are the ones that are convertible to fingerless ones — or even just arm-warmers, those extra, hand-free sleeves that are the close cousin to the leg-warmers of the ’80s.

It’s the way people can stay war m and play with the new gadget that was also under the tree.

—SWEATER A sense of the wearer’s personal style is a must for a sweater, says Holmes, but whether the recipient is tailored or trendy, frumpy is never an option.

A cardigan is usually a safer bet for women than crewneck or turtleneck because it is easier to adapt “as your own,” she says. The current “it” version is a flowy, open-wrap style.

And, she warns, don’t go for something too fitted,

gimmicky or glitzy unless you’re sure it’s what this person wears. Take a quick look through photo albums or Facebook photos and take note whether this person tends to wear certain colors or silhouettes.

—TIE Women don’t always love other people buying their clothes because they often like doing it themselves and need items to fit into their existing wardrobes, says Holmes, but that’s not typically the case for men.

“Men never shop for themselves unless they’re really into it, so they expect basic ties and shirts. Just don’t let it be their only gift.”

For a hipster, you might try introducing him to a bow tie, says trend and retail analyst Tom Julian.

Any age man can wear one with the right attitude, he says, but it’s the younger man who can really rock it.

In more traditional ties, a 3-inch width is the norm and a 2-inch tie is trendy.

“I think a tie is a great gift to give a man and this is the perfect season to do so,” says Julian, author of “Nordstrom Guide to Men’s Everyday Dressing.” “Ties are narrower and ties are not just for suits and business. Ties will show that you know his style.”

—CANDLES Candles are a go-to gift, especially for party hosts, but it’s because they’re so pervasive that they have a bad rap, observes Gifts.com’s Holmes. A seasonal fragrance might encourage the recipient to use it right away, she suggests.

A candle that’s been personalized for a particular occasion, color, scent or to match initials reassures that it wasn’t just one from

the stock in the giver’s hall closet.

Bendel’s Bucciarelli encourages candles with unusual scents that can become conversation topics, or those that match a person’s specific love of a flower or food.

—FRAGRANCE For the friend who loves a particular designer but is watching his or her budget, a designer fragrance can be a really special gift, says Rochelle Bloom, president of the Fragrance Foundation, an industry trade group.

“If you can’t afford the whole outfit, this is a way to get their fashion vibe.

Designers are really involved with fragrances, especially a Marc Jacobs or Donna Karan type,” says Bloom.

Also, fragrance is the per fect way to enjoy the scent of a favorite flower note — elegant rose, delicate jasmine, calming lavender — in a form sure to last much longer.

Once again, though, the key is knowing a little something about the person you are buying for.

Lee says she’s even tur ned umbrellas into a great gift. “You might think the umbrella is an ordinary gift, but if you know that the person is always leaving something behind, you buy them three umbrellas — one for the office, one for home and the third because we know you’ll lose one of the other two,” she says. “With the right sentiment it really does work well.”

“Razzle dazzle” doesn’t always make the best gift, agrees Holmes. “Some gifts are appreciated more after the fact, and they’re the ones that will be used over and over and over again.”

OPEC ministers make no change in output SUNDAY BUSINESS

Roswell Daily Record

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — OPEC announced Saturday that it will not change oil output with prices just below $90 per barrel, comfortable inventories, and persisting global economic uncertainty.

The 12-member cartel’s decision was based on its projection that demand for crude would grow more slowly in 2011 than it did this year.

In a statement, the ministers cited “the challenging risks to the fragile global economic recovery” including “fears of a second banking crisis in Europe” as the rationale for their decision.

The world’s major industrialized nations continue to face “lower industrial output, lagging private consumption as well as persistently high unemployment,” the statement said.

“The market is in balance and is stable,” Oil minister Ali Naimi of Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s biggest producer, said prior to the meeting.

“The fundamentals are good.”

Suffering from a cold, he left quickly without commenting to reporters after the closed-door meeting, which lasted less than two hours.

OPEC’s next scheduled meeting is June 2 in Vienna, its home. Asked whether it could convene earlier if prices were to shoot up, the group’s secretary-general, Abdulla Salem El-Badri, said that is always a possibility.

“OPEC is always ready to meet when there is important change in the market,” he said.

There was much discussion before the meeting about whether oil would soon broach the psychological price barrier of $100 — or even climb nearer its 2008 historic peak of $147 a barrel.

Venezuela’s minister, Rafael Ramirez, said he thought such a price was “proper” considering how much producers invest in removing crude from the ground. “no-change” The

announcement was widely anticipated and four of the cartel’s ministers — from Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and Nigeria — did not even make the trip, sending lower-level delegates to this Andean capital.

OPEC, which is responsible for 35 percent of global oil production, has not changed its output quotas since late 2008. Last month, Naimi said oil from $70 to $90 per barrel was tolerable for consumers.

The 50-year -old cartel has had a good year, with prices hovering in the mid$80 range and profits up 32 percent over 2009 to $750 billion, according to U.S. Energy Department estimates. OPEC does not release profit numbers.

Oil reached a two-year high of nearly $91 on Tuesday — as traders gauged the dimensions of 2011 demand and responded to a particularly harsh onset of winter in Europe.

The Paris-based International Energy Agency, or IEA, said Friday that

Madoff trustee sues accountants for $900 million In this March 12, 2009 file photo, Bernard Madoff arrives at federal court in New York.

The trustee recovering money for investors who lost billions of dollars in Ber nard Madof f’s fraud sued two accountants for $900 million, accusing them of assisting Madoff in a $20 billion Ponzi scheme.

Irving Picard filed the lawsuit late Friday against accountants Frank Avellino and Michael Bienes. Picard also named their wives, Avellino’s son Thomas Avellino, and other family members as defendants. The suit was filed hours after Picard filed a civil racketeering case accusing of fshore bankers of assisting Madoff in his fraud. Taken together, the actions seem to broaden the number of accomplices Picard thinks are responsible in Madof f’s decades worth of fraud, even though the financier insisted to authorities that he acted alone.

The suit seeks to recover $900 million that investors allegedly gave to Madoff believing he would invest it. Madoff admitted last year the investments were a scam and most of the money had disappeared by late 2008. Picard said Avellino and Bienes were active participants in the fraud, helping funnel money into Madoff’s investment funds.

“Frank Avellino and Michael Bienes are among the earliest enablers of Bernard Madoff’s,” Picard said in a

statement. Picard said Avellino and Bienes “observed blatant and obvious red flags” that would have signaled to any accountant that Madof f was defrauding investors. Lawyers reported to have represented Avellino in the past did not return messages seeking comment Saturday.

The suit was filed the same day Picard filed civil racketeering charges against Austrian banker Sonja Kohn and 55 other defendants, demanding they give up nearly $20 billion and accusing Kohn of being Madoff’s “criminal soul mate.”

Picard said Kohn had a 23-year relationship with Madoff and “masterminded a vast illegal scheme” as she and others engaged in money laundering, mail and wire fraud, and financial institution fraud in support of the Madoff’s scheme.

He also accused her of accepting at least $62 million in secret kickbacks from Madoff for soliciting investors for the fraud. “Although the illegal scheme is distinct from Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, they are symbiotic, and have thrived off of each other,” the lawsuit said. Picard alleged in the civil complaint that Kohn channeled more than $9 billion into Madoff’s Ponzi scheme while she and her family siphoned at least $62 million from Madoff’s accounts into their private accounts.

stronger-than-anticipated consumption next year in North America and emerging Asian economies led by China could compel OPEC to boost supply “if prices continue their relentless rise.”

Issuing its global oil demand forecast, the IEA said it anticipated a rise in demand next year to 88.8 million barrels a day, 260,000 daily barrels more than previously forecast.

OPEC’s monthly market report, released Friday, forecast a boost in demand of 1.2 million barrels per day in 2011 over this year’s levels to an average of 87.1 million.

While ministers expect demand for crude to continue to grow, “At this moment, demand is not good,” Iran’s oil minister, Masoud Mir -Kazem, told reporters.

“If demand does turn out to be stronger than they’ve expected, there is still a safety cushion out there and they can come back later and increase produc-

tion,” Analyst David Kirsch of PFC Energy in Washington told The Associated Press. “Or more likely, what happens is that individual members cheat.”

Oil supplies in major industrialized nations and China are currently well above normal, and while OPEC forecast a demand boost in North America and China in the monthly market report it published Friday, it believes wester n Europe’s festering debt crisis will dampen consumption there.

OPEC last changed output in late 2008 when it capped a record series of cuts to help boost prices that had plummeted with the global financial meltdown.

Some analysts believe conditions are now conspiring against much more upward pressure on prices as the effects wear off from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s decision to issue and buy up to $2.3 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds.

The post-meltdown move

— essentially printing money — made U.S. exports cheaper abroad and boosted the price of oil.

It also encouraged the Chinese to buy and store more oil.

Many analysts believes $100 a barrel for oil is inevitable in 2011 though it could well take months.

“Everyone is worked up about $100 a barrel,” said Barbara Shook, a Houstonbased analyst with the Energy Intelligence Group.

It’s a psychological number.

A hundred-dollar oil means that you’ve got $3 gasoline at every market in the U.S. “And that’s another tipping point. It could drop consumption, decrease discretionary driving, things like that,” she added.

Ecuador, which rejoined OPEC in 2007 after 15-year absence, held the rotating presidency this year. Iran will take over for 2011.

HERCULANEUM, Mo. (AP) — The sprawling green space across from the Catholic church might be Herculaneum’s prettiest asset, the kind of inviting place where people could flock to picnic or sling a Frisbee — if potential danger didn’t lurk in the grass and ground.

That land, fenced off and marked by warning signs, once had a collection of homes and businesses.

Each was bought up and systematically cleared by the owner of the lead smelter blamed for tainting the area with the toxic metal.

Letting the property sit empty is the kind of adjustment residents have made in the Mississippi River community of 3,600, where the nation’s biggest smelter and worries about the pollution that the century-old facility emits mean people sometimes wash their hands more often and leave their shoes outside.

Yet soon, those concerns may scatter to the wind.

Owner Doe Run Co., after years of grappling with the Environmental Protection Agency, plans to shutter the smelter by the end of 2013. Even as the cause of their health risks will be gone, people fear the loss of hundreds of jobs — Doe Run is Herculaneum’s biggest employer — and millions in tax revenue, along with the grim prospect that they could be left with homes no one will buy.

“In my heart of hearts, I would like to see the jobs and the process stay, but I don’t want anything that endangers the people of Herculaneum,” said Larry

O’Leary, a member of the community group that has monitored Doe Run’s pollution.

The plant, dating to 1892, is the nation’s only primary lead smelter, the place where heat helps extract from raw ore the lead used in such things as car batteries, computer screens and X-ray shields.

Doe Run figures its future may rest in the technology of a heatless, liquid process it says can cull lead from the ore virtually free of emissions.

Doe Run hasn’t said if it’s leaving town for good, taking with it the 270 jobs and millions of dollars in taxes it contributes locally and to the state each year.

The company warns that if it closes the smelter without replacing it, the U.S. risks becoming dependent on China and other countries for its primary lead metal. Chief Operating Officer Jerry Pyatt said the company is weighing whether to build the new processing site and, if so, where — with Herculaneum a possibility.

“I prefer they stay. If they do, they probably are going to buy our property,” the Rev. Bob Fleiter said, as tur f belonging to the Catholic Church of the Assumption — in the shadow of the smelter’s smokestack — was being resodded for the second time, courtesy of Doe Run. “If we got a fair price for the church, we’d have been out of here yesterday.”

Doe Run has drawn citizen lawsuits and has increasingly has grappled with the EPA about its ability to contain the lead, which in low levels early in

life can affect learning, IQ and memory in children.

The toxic metal can also cause cardiovascular, blood pressure and kidney problems in adults. At times the EPA deemed the pollution severe enough that families were asked to take measures such as washing children’s toys if they were used outdoors.

Over the past three decades, the EPA has cited Doe Run for air emissions, lead dust in homes, and elevated levels of the metal in yards and children’s blood. The standards got even tougher two years ago, the result of a lawsuit by a Missouri environmental coalition on behalf of two former Herculaneum residents. The federal government changed its standards for the permissible amount of lead in the air for the first time in three decades, making them 10 times stricter.

Doe Run figures it has done its part, over the past decade or so having bought out 130 residential properties near the smelter and replacing the soil at more than 500 homes. Much of that property has been transformed into the offlimits green space. As part of a potentially $65 million settlement with the EPA, Doe Run also agreed to pay a $7 million fine for pollution violations, with the money split equally between the federal government and the state for regional schools. And the company will establish trust funds of tens of millions of dollars to clean up its sites in Herculaneum and elsewhere in southeast Missouri.

DEAR ABBY: I would like to say something to my mother, but the truth is I don’t know who my biological mother is. I was adopted when I was a baby. I have looked for her online over the years, but have yet to find her. I have asked myself many times what I’d say to her if I met her. Because I know it may never happen, I’m asking you to print my message: “Mama, I don’t know the circumstances of my birth, and I don’t really care. All I know is that two loving parents adopted me and helped to shape me into the person I am. Today I am a successful professional with a loving spouse and wonderful children, to whom I try to give the best. I imagine that is what you wanted to do for me.

Therefore, I have decided that I don’t really need to find you and say, ‘Thank you. You made a good choice. I am doing fine and I love you.’”

HER THANKFUL SON

DEAR THANKFUL SON: I hope one day your birth mother will be fortunate enough to meet you and you can say those words to her in person. One of the most difficult decisions a mother can make, but one of the most loving, is to place a child for adoption when she is unable

DEAR ABBY: I am a semi-retired professional man. My wife and I have an ongoing disagreement and would like the benefit or your wisdom. I was raised that when a man enters a house or a place of business, especially a restaurant, he should remove his hat. It annoys me to see young men sit in a restaurant wearing baseball caps, cowboys hats or even stocking caps.

My wife says times have changed — recent generations were not raised the same way and I should just get over it. I say there is no right or wrong age for common etiquette. I can overlook this behavior in a fast-food restaurant, but I also

see it happening in nice establishments. I believe that restaurant managers should ask men to remove their hats.

If they refuse, at least they will have been told it is unacceptable behavior. Should I follow my wife’s advice, or do I have a valid gripe?

TONY IN FLORIDA

DEAR TONY: Some restaurants still insist that their patrons adhere to a strict dress code — but fewer of them do than in decades ago. In recent years the rigid rules regarding the wearing of hats have relaxed — in part, I suspect because of aging baby boomers who use baseball caps to camouflage their bald spots.

However, according to Emily Post, you do have a valid gripe. She says there are times when wearing a hat is appropriate, and times when it isn’t. According to her, a man should remove his hat (and this includes baseball caps) upon entering a home, when indoors at work (especially in an office), at mealtime at the table, IN RESTAURANTS AND COFFEE SHOPS (the italics are mine), at a movie or indoor performance, when the National Anthem is played and when the American flag passes by as in a parade.

Minn. father camps in blizzard to help school Sunday, December 12, 2010

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hospital executive Robert Stevens donned four layers of long underwear, heavy boots and a down coat before climbing on the roof of a Minnesota coffee shop to raise money for his daughter’s school.

He vowed not to come down until he had raised $100,000, but after reaching the half-way mark Saturday morning, he said he hoped the rest of the money would come fast. He didn’t look forward to spending another night out in the blizzard that was sweeping through the Midwest. “I think I’ve crossed the line into insanity,� he told

The Associated Press.

The storm formed in the Rocky Mountains on Friday and then swept into norther n Nebraska and Iowa over night. By Saturday morning, heavy snow and strong winds had created blizzard conditions across easter n South Dakota, northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota, and the storm was moving east into Minnesota’s Twin Cities and western Wisconsin.

With near whiteout conditions in many areas, Minnesota transportation officials pulled plows off roads in the southern part of the state and told drivers to stay home. “We may even have road closures today. With this type of a storm, it’s a blanket approach, because it’s a visibility issue,� Minnesota Department of Transportation spokeswoman Rebecca Arndt said.

Between 8 and 18 inches of snow were expected, with the heaviest snowfall stretching from near Hutchinson and Mankato to the Twin Cities.

Stevens camped Friday

night on the roof of the Dunn Brothers coffee shop in Excelsior, a Minneapolis suburb on the shore of Lake Minnetonka. The president and CEO of Ridgeview Medical Center in nearby Waconia, he was raising money for the private Spring Hill School, where his daughter attends eighth grade.

He slept inside a tent surrounded by hay bales, swaddled in a double-insulated sleeping bag as he listened to the winds whip off the lake just a block away.

Stevens said the blizzard may turn out to be fortunate since it’s bringing more attention to his fundraising goal. But he also questioned whether, if he doesn’t get there by nightfall, he could bear another night on the roof. “Right now I’m thinking I can do it,� he said. “But nature might get the upper hand later on tonight.�

Heavy snow also was falling in northern Iowa, where up to 10 inches were expected, and easter n South Dakota, where 5 to 8 inches were forecast.
