Tribute to Cody Ross Planned for Halftime of BYU Men’s Basketball Game on Jan. 29 University of New Mexico Department of Athletics

University of New Mexico baseball and the Westside Chamber of Commerce is planning a “Cody Ross Tribute,” the weekend of Jan. 28-29. Ross, a native of Carlsbad, N.M., and a member of the 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants, will be recognized at halftime of the UNM-BYU men’s basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 29. “This is a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to a great New Mexican,” said UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham. “It’s not everyday that one of our own is a member of a world championship team. What Cody did last fall was really special.” Ross batted .294 with five home runs and 10 RBI in 15 postseason games. He was named Most Valuable Player of the 2010 National League Championship Series after batting .350 with three homers and five RBI as the Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies.

Ross is one of just four players in NLCS history to record at least six extra-base hits in a series while his .950 slugging percentage is the best ever for a six-game NLCS series. The weekend begins Friday, Jan. 28, at 6 p.m., with a banquet at Ladera Golf Course. Tickets are $50 apiece, or $500 for a table of 10, and must be reserved in advance by calling J.C. Lopez at (505) 507-4123. The banquet is limited to the first 350 people. All proceeds benefit the UNM baseball program. On Saturday, Jan. 29, at 11 a.m., Ross will speak to a group of local Little League players at the Radisson Hotel (I-40 and Carlisle). At halftime of the BYU game, Birmingham will recognize Ross as an honorary Lobo, while his father, Ken Ross, will be presented with a UNM lettermen’s jacket.

The elder Ross played football at UNM as a sophomore in 1969, however, his career was cut short due to injury. He was a starting strong safety and had three interceptions on the season, including one for a TD against Army.

Simple Steps To Staying Safe

It’s important to have a fully charged cell phone when you travel.

(NAPS)—If you are a woman who travels alone frequently, there are a few simple steps you can take to help ensure your safety on the road and that could potentially protect you in a dangerous situation. • Selective parking: Whether it’s an outdoor parking lot or a covered garage, make sure the lot and space you are parking in are well lit. Avoid parking away from other cars and be aware of parking beside commercial vans without glass side panels, where potential attackers could be hiding. When you return to your car, quickly survey your surroundings, including under your vehicle and the backseat. • Have your keys in hand: Before you leave the store, take the time to find your keys and have them in hand as you walk to your vehicle. Time spent rummaging in your purse when you get to your car may leave you open to a potential attack. If you’re faced with a dangerous situation, the keys in your hand can also be used as a weapon. • Avoid playing Good Sa­mar­itan: While your heart might be in the right place, it’s not a good idea to stop to help someone when you are by yourself, especially in a remote area. It’s best to call 911 and let the dispatcher know the location of the person who is stranded. • Use your car’s safety and security features: Familiarize yourself with the safety and security features of your car. Does your car have a GPS? Is there a feature that will alert

emergency personnel if you are involved in a car accident? Automatic car starters are a good feature be­cause they could save you critical time in a bad situation. • Keep your vehicle ser­viced: A poorly maintained vehicle could cause you problems at the worst possible times. Check your tires for wear and rotate them every other oil change. Have your battery checked for corrosion and make sure there’s the appropriate amount of water in it and that it holds a charge. Check your fluids and get your oil changed. Using synthetic oil such as Royal Purple can be a great way to extend the life of your car and save money. Synthetic motor oils can usually run longer than traditional motor oils, depending on the wear and tear you put on your vehicle. • Have a plan if trouble arises: Do you know what you would do if you were confronted by a potential abductor or carjacker? If you are approached by a person in or around your car, drop any bags, run and make a lot of noise that will draw attention to you. Try to stay in control of the situation. Whatever you do, do not go with the person to another location regardless of promises that you won’t be hurt. If you feel you’re being followed by another car, call 911 and drive to a police station or hospital. • Learn more: For more information about synthetic motor oil and other automotive products, visit www. royalpurple.com.
