Ornithology — the study

Donaldson shared the moment when he heard King speak in person, as well as his impression of King’s legacy, to a crowd that filled the hotel’s dining hall to capacity.

Donaldson said he was a

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the draw,” Donaldson said of the event. Donaldson said it did not take long for King to make his point. This was part of King’s oratorical talent, Donaldson said. It was not only King’s message, but also King as a messenger, that was emotionally moving.

“I’ve covered many, many speeches,” Donaldson said.

“Sometimes, the good speeches, I don’t realize (they’re good) until later.

“I think that day we all realized what we heard — a great moment in American history.”

Donaldson also got to interview King, at which time the Civil Rights leader spoke of the Vietnam conflict. King told Donaldson that the conflict would not cause a positive change, but rather, it would cost the U.S. its reputation in the world as well as many lives.

Two weeks after the interview, King was killed.

However, his legacy and that of many others who fought for equality during the Civil Rights movement is evident today, Donaldson said.

Baby Boomer Health and Business Expo Feb. 4 MARTHA D. STAAB VISTAS EDITOR

Through time the United States has hit many milestones that makes the history of our country colorful and lively, setting it apart from other countries. Post World War II, the United States celebrated the fall of Hitler and embarked on the miraculous achievements that followed: the invention of the television, Elvis Presley, the election of John F. Kennedy and the race to space. During this time of evolution there was a big boom that occurred. The baby boomers were all born

Health issues are very important when one gets older, but there are other issues that can help not just boomers but everyone in general. Tom Dunlap, local attorney, has been speaking at the Expo since it began to help educate seniors on services offered in the community, legal matters and avoiding scams.

within the years of 1946 and the 1960s; and they are now considered one of our most populated generations.

In real time, circa 2012, the community of Roswell has a large population of citizens who were born in the baby boom age. That’s

why the Baby Boomer Health and Business Expo is such a big draw every year. This year will be the third Expo and is already expected to be a bigger hit than in recent past. The Expo will be Feb. 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Roswell Convention and

Civic Center, 912 N. Main St., and is expected to have more than 60 booths related to health care, legal assistance, medical equipment, home health-care agencies, assisted-living facilities, pharmacies, hospice, hospitals and funeral homes. There will also be live entertainment by local group Vinnie Baggatone and the Baggavaughns, and a hot dog lunch will be sponsored by Sam’s Club.

Admission is free.

Washington.”

Obama is “the most effective food stamp president in history,” he said. “I would like to be the best paycheck president in American history.” Those declarations and his attack on the “elite news media” reprised two of his more memorable lines from a pair of debates that helped fuel his victory.

Exit polls showed he led among voters who said their top priority was picking a candidate who could beat Obama — a group that had preferred Romney in earlier contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Romney, the national front-runner until now, was unbowed. He vowed to contest for every vote “in every state,” an acknowledgement that the race would likely be a long one. He also unleashed a double-barreled attack on Obama and Gingrich.

Referring to Gingrich’s criticism of his business experience, Romney said, “When my opponents attack success and free enterprise, they’re not only attacking me, they’re attacking every person who dreams of a better future.

He’s attacking you,” he told supporters, the closest he came to mentioning the primary winner’s name.

Returns from 95 percent of the state’s precincts showed Gingrich with 41 percent of the vote to 27 percent for Romney. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was winning 17 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul 13 percent.

mary, South Carolina has been a proving ground for Republican presidential hopefuls in recent years.

Since Ronald Reagan in 1980, every Republican contender who won the primary has gone on to capture the party’s nomination.

Nearly 600,000 voters turned out, according to an AP estimate. That eclipses the previous record turnout for the primary in 2000, when George W. Bush defeated John McCain.

Based on the vote total, Gingrich won at least 15 of the 25 Republican National Convention delegates at stake and none of the other contenders was yet assured of any.

But political momentum was the real prize with the race to pick an opponent to Obama still in its early stages.

Already, Romney and a group that supports him were on the air in Florida with a significant television ad campaign, more than $7 million combined to date.

Gingrich readily conceded that he trails in money, and even before appearing for his victory speech he tweeted supporters thanking them and appealing for a flood of donations for the Jan 31 primary. “Help me deliver the knockout punch in Florida. Join our Moneybomb and donate now,” said his tweet.

Aides to the former Massachusetts governor had once dared hope that Florida would seal his nomination — if South Carolina didn’t first — but that strategy appeared to vanish along with the once-formidable lead he held in preprimary polls.

Romney swept into South Carolina 11 days ago as the

favorite after being pronounced the winner of the lead-of f Iowa caucuses, then cruising to victory in New Hampshire’s first-inthe-nation primary.

But in the sometimessurreal week that followed, he was stripped of his Iowa triumph — GOP officials there now say Santorum narrowly won — while former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman dropped out and endorsed Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry quit and backed Gingrich.

Romney responded awkwardly to questions about releasing his income tax retur ns, and about his investments in the Cayman Islands. Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, benefited from two wellreceived debate performances while grappling with allegations by an ex-wife that he had once asked her for an open marriage so he could keep his mistress.

By primary eve, Romney was speculating openly about a lengthy battle for the nomination rather than the quick knockout that had seemed within his grasp only days earlier.

Exit polling showed Gingrich, the for mer House speaker, leading by a wide margin among the state’s heavy population of conservatives, tea party supporters and born-again Christians.

In a state with 9.9 percent unemployment, about 80 percent of all voters said they were very worried about the direction of the economy. Gingrich’s edge over Romney among that group tracked the overall totals closely, the former speaker winning 41 percent and the runner-up 27.

nately.”

The fight for equal rights did not end with King, and there are still issues today that smack of inequality, Donaldson said. He said that, in the U.S., newborn black children die at two times the rate as white children. King’s example of non-violent resistance could still resonate — and be effective — today, Donaldson said.

“There are more and more people laying down footprints,” Donaldson said. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footprints will be

larger than the rest, and they will be larger for all time.”

Two members of the community were honored during the event. Susan Wood, Visitors Bureau director, was awarded the 2012 Humanitarian Award.

Naeemah Reese, a senior at Roswell High School, is the 2012 John Brown Scholarship recipient. Reese was also honored at the event.

As the event’s keynote speaker, Donaldson was also given an award.

Border officials say the new station in the Animas Valley will give the region 24-hour monitoring for the first time in its history, and will allow border patrol agents to quickly respond to illegal activities.

$450,000, and the J. Kenny Smith Family Foundation has already contributed half that amount.

Another purpose of the sanctuary, Smith said, is to try to restore what was once a lively place to see a wide range of birds. He said that in the early 1970s, bird enthusiasts spotted about 100 different species of birds in the area. This number has since dramatically diminished, he said, due to the industrialization of the area.

The work that’s been done toward the sanctuary so far includes trails, lighting, ponds, irrigation, a

parking lot and planting trees and bushes.

Cohen, UFO of Roswell president, described some of the short-term and longterm goals of the budding organization. In the short term, he said, the goals are to concentrate on membership, get field trip ideas and the establishment of meeting dates. Long-term goals include the creation of a website, a newsletter, and for the club to possibly become a local chapter of the Audubon Society of New Mexico.

The National Audubon Society is an organization that works toward the con-

servation and restoration of environmental habitats, with a focus on birds and other wild animals.

Members and of ficials agreed on several upcoming events and field trips.

They also agreed that, for the time being, there will be no fee to join the UFO of Roswell. Members of the community may join as individuals, or with the entire family.

On Feb. 4, UFO of Roswell will meet at the Joe Skeen Visitors Center at Bitter Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Members as well as those interested in bird-watching are wel-

come at the park at 7:30 a.m.

On Feb. 25, the group will meet at the Retreat at Enchanted Farm, 1804 E. College Blvd., at 12:30 p.m.

There will be a tour of the property and binoculars will be provided. Smith said the group will try to meet on the last Saturday of the month.

On April 15, bird enthusiasts are welcome to join in a lesser prairie chicken field trip just east of Roswell.

A possible bird festival is also in the works, Smith said, although this may not happen until spring 2013.

Cohen urged those who are new to ornithology to speak up and contribute to the group. As opposed to being a club for people who are already in the know, Cohen said the UFO of Roswell is a group for people who want to learn.

“Don’t be shy,” Cohen said. “The only bad question is an unasked question.”

ranchers and residents in Animas following months of deliberation and debate on where to locate the site.

Luck said he made his choice after listening to agents on the ground and considering which site could quickly dispatch agents to troubled spots.

The new outpost will hold a heliport, horse corrals and modular buildings capable of housing up to 15 to 20 federal agents, who’ll stay for short-term spans.

Construction will begin immediately and is expected to take four to six months. Luck said the agency will lease the land from the Diamond A Ranch, but declined to give details and did not know the final estimated cost in building the facility.

According to border offi-

cials, the outpost — also known as a forward operating base — was needed because the isolated region has seen higher levels of illegal immigration and drug trafficking in recent years due to beefed up enforcement around El Paso, Texas, and the rest of New Mexico, although overall arrests in-state have been declining for the last five years.

Last year, the agency reported 6,900 arrests along the New Mexico-Mexico border, with a large portion coming from the state’s Bootheel.

In addition, Border officials say the Bootheel had around 1,500 known illegal entries in 2011.

“I see foot tracks all the time when I’m out on the land,” said Levi Klump, a

cattle rancher who’s operated since 1989. “It’s been getting worse.”

But while the border patrol and area elected officials praised the announcement, Klump and other residents expressed disappointment that Luck did not choose another proposed site on U.S. Bureau of Land Management that is only seven miles from the border.

“The BLM site would have served as a deterrent to drug traffickers because it would have been visible,” said Meira Gault, 62, who along with her husband, Stephen, 71, operates a 20,000-acre ranch just north of the border. “It had access to all the important roads and agents could see everything.”

Stephen Gault said for

years illegal immigrants and drug smugglers have been camping out on a mountain known as Black Point, a mountain visible from the BLM land but not the chosen site. “There they are in plain sight,” he said.

“They would have had easy access.”

The Border Patrol say the site they chose is more strategically located to areas where they have seen the heaviest illegal traffic.

The Gaults and other ranchers had organized petition drives, written letters to elected officials and held community meetings in an attempt to pressure the U.S. Border Patrol to select the BLM proposal since it was already under federal control After Friday’s announcement, disappointed resi-

dents said they weren’t sure if they had any other option but to accept the Border Patrol’s selection. “I don’t know what else we can do. We’ve done everything we can,” said Judy Keeler, the outgoing president of the Hidalgo County Cattle Growers Association.

“I think their minds were already made up.”

Keeler said regardless she hopes that federal authorities can finally get control of the region. She said her ranch had been burglarized and nearby state Highway 80 has become a favorite for Mexican cartel drug runners who manage to navigate out of the Peloncillo Mountains along the ArizonaNew Mexico border.

active participation and giveaways,” said Gomez.

Majestic Communications works closely with Gomez shortly after each Expo ends to come up with ideas to make the next event even better. They do heavy promotion to draw in the crowds including majestic broadcasts live from the event and interviews with the vendors and visitors.

“Since the beginning it has been so much fun, people there they dress up,there’s music, great speakers and it’s very informative,” said Wayne Kirkpatrick of Majestic Communications.

Kirkpatrick states that the Expo is great for the young and old alike and the information given is for what needs to be done

when people get older and are finding out things they didn’t know before.

“There hasn’t been a year yet that I haven’t learned something that wasn’t there the year before.

That’s where Barbara stands out; she tries to make it better and better each year,” said Kirkpatrick.

Local businesses and organizations are drawn to this event and most offer special sessions to explain their services and educate the community by having guest speaker sessions, chiropractic massages and free legal advice.

The New Mexico Department of Health has been an active participant in the Expo since it began and will have a booth. The

Department of Health will be giving free flu vaccinations from 1-6 p.m. that day.

“We will be handing out lots of information about health and wellness,” said Jimmy Masters, health promotion educator for the Department of Health.

Health issues are very important when one gets older, but there are other issues that can help not just boomers but everyone in general. Tom Dunlap, local attorney, has been speaking at the Expo since it began to help educate seniors on services offered in the community, legal matters and avoiding scams. Dunlap is the founder of the Commission on Aging, which began meeting in 1995.

“It’s information available

to seniors and it’s designed to build a support network,” said Dunlap.

At the Expo, Dunlap hosts seminars that focus on his elder law issues and tidbits. He goes into detail about probate, wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, Medicare vs. Medicaid, long-term care insurance and elder abuse. The focus is also on safety. He encourages seniors to use caller ID and never open the doors of their homes to strangers. Many seniors are being taken advantage of or being targeted because they are alone and older. Scammers are always active and try to find ways of taking a lifetime of savings by pushing fraudulent services.

Dunlap has done his research and is relaying back to all seniors so they

can be aware of some of the things they should avoid and to protect themselves.

Many health clinics and doctors will be present and have their booths set up at the Expo, including Roswell Regional Hospital.

“It’s a fun activity and opportunity to meet new faces and answer questions and let them know what services are available. A handful of staff and a mixture of employees work hard to put it together and interact with the community,” said Yolanda Kimbrell, director of case management.

The Expo is not just for boomers but for everyone who might be creeping up in age. For more information on the Baby Boomer Expo call 627-1112.

Governor aims to improve economy and education

SANTA FE — Gov. Susana Martinez wants to exempt small businesses paying less than $200 a month in gross receipts tax from having to pay the tax. She says it will affect over 40,000 small businesses in the state, most of which are one-person businesses.

I am one of those businesses and the chances are fairly good that you may be one too. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out how it is going to help anyone.

Supposedly it will help me hire an employee.

This column appears in many newspapers around the state but even if it appeared in all of them, it isn’t enough to share with anyone but my wife, who does the bookkeeping for free.

We’re not going to benefit from the exemption because we pass the tax on to newspapers, which will be the beneficiaries. But not to the extent any of them can hire another employee.

It also doesn’t make work any

easier for us because as I understand the bill, which hasn’t yet been introduced as of this writing, applies only to the state’s share of gross receipts. Several local governmental bodies also levy a gross receipts tax.

The Taxation and Revenue Department of state government collects all of the tax and distributes the local shares to the other recipients. The only change in my work would be to multiply by a lower number. Under the governor’s proposal, the state will continue to do just as much work but without collecting any of the tax for itself.

Roswell Daily Record

As a small-business owner, I can’t find much to be grateful to the governor about for having this legislation introduced. The purpose is to improve our state’s economy by aiding small businesses but I don’t see how this is going to mean jobs for more New Mexicans.

Here’s another gubernatorial proposal that Martinez may not have quite right yet. But she’s getting there.

We know New Mexico students lag far behind national testing norms. Former Gov. Bill Richardson tried hard to close that gap, mainly by getting significant new revenue into the system. His administration also tried many new programs to improve teacher pay and quality and to get parents involved. But it didn’t do much for student performance.

Gov. Susana Martinez also is willing to put more money into public schools but she wants it targeted in different ways. She

wants to be sure students develop adequate reading skills in the first three grades.

Last year, she proposed legislation to hold students at the thirdgrade level until they developed the reading skills to move on.

Lawmakers learned it is necessary to obtain parental consent before holding a student back.

If school districts hold students an extra year, they get more money from the state — which the state can ill-afford. It also costs the district more because it has to find extra space to educate students for an extra year or two.

And class sizes go up or more teachers have to be hired.

Problems also are created by having students who are one and two years older in a class with third-graders. They tend to become the bullies.

The solution is to begin providing extra help to poor readers as soon as they are identified in kindergarten so they are less like-

ly to have to be held back at the third-grade level. That has been the direction of Gov. Martinez’s ef forts for the past several months.

Parents are the key factor in school success for a child. If they are unable or unwilling to help their children achieve success in school, it means the schools have to provide that extra help and encouragement.

That means more money for special reading teachers. Gov. Martinez is willing to make that a top priority for our strained state budget. With those students for which it doesn’t work, she is willing to hold them in third grade against parental wishes.

She’ll get static on that but she’s willing to take the hit.

Redistricting deja vu

Apparently lightning can strike the same spot twice. Just two weeks ago we were bemoaning the loss of a state House seat in southeastern New Mexico and now much the same has happened in the Senate.

It was announced Monday that Senate Districts 33 and 40 would be joined. District 33 is currently occupied by longtime Sen. Rod Adair, R-Roswell, and District 40 is held by newcomer William Burt, R-Alamogordo.

The court ruling last week was very unwelcome news, especially since earlier this month it was announced two local House districts would be merged, reducing the influence of our area’s delegation. Both incumbents in the two merged House districts, Dennis Kintigh and Bob Wooley, said they plan run for reelection.

As for the Senate merger, Burt has said he plans to compete to stay in the Senate.

Adair, as of this writing, has not committed to a decision as to whether he will seek reelection. After such a lengthy tenure, we could understand if Adair chose not to run again. It would, however, be a blow to his district to lose his years of experience. Adair has spearheaded a great deal of important legislation during his time in office.

Regardless of whether Adair runs or not, any candidate in Chaves County is likely to be at a disadvantage in the new district. The new district includes only 10 precincts in Chaves County. The rest of the district is made up of 20 precincts in Otero County and 12 in Lincoln County.

That’s a lot of real estate spread across three counties and a diverse landscape; geographically, economically and politically.

We’d agree with Adair and Burt in their assesment that the new district is gerrymandered.

Whoever is elected to the district is going to have a difficult time balancing all the different needs of communities contained in the bizarrely shaped new district. Finding a common ground will be a difficult task for even the best lawmaker.

While there is at least one effort to appeal legislative redistricting, we have little hope for regaining the influence we have lost with the new boundaries. Our area of the state simply has not matched the growth which has taken place on the western side of New Mexico.

We can’t say we’re happy with this turn of events, but we also accept that the importance of ensuring equal representation based on population outweighs our local needs.

What we’ve lost in quanity we hope can be offset by the quality of local legislators. We have are fortunate to have lawmakers who are intelligent, influential and well versed in the needs of our region as well as those of the state as a whole.

Redistricting has dealt southeastern New Mexico a pair of painful blows. We are confident that our needs will still be heard in Santa Fe because of the dedication and resourcefulness of our local legislators. They have proven their ability to overcome any hurdle and we have no doubt they will conquer this one as well.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Every winter I come down with sinusitis. Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

DEAR READER: A lot of people suffer from periodic sinus infections (sinusitis). I’m one of them. The symptoms are aggravating: headache, pain or pressure in the face and head, where the sinuses are, and thick mucus clogging the nose.

The good news is there are many things you can do to reduce your risk of sinusitis.

One of the simplest, cheapest and most effective ways to prevent and treat sinus problems is nasal irrigation. This helps clear excess mucus and keeps your nose moist. Nasal irrigation is done with just tap

Judging not by sight, but by faith A group of conservative evangelical leaders met in Texas last weekend and endorsed a Roman Catholic for president. Given the history of evangelical antipathy toward the theological underpinnings of the Roman Catholic Church, that in itself signals a remarkable evolution (pardon the word), along with a considerable amount of political pragmatism.

Despite evidence that politics (and sports) cannot deliver America from its collective sins, evangelicals repeatedly search for an earthly savior.

So desperate are they to find this deliverer that they have glommed onto the Catholic Santorum, a man whose religion many of them vilify and hold in utter contempt, in hopes of trumpeting their conservative values and faithbased initiatives in the coming election.

Infrastructure tax supported

Dear Editor: I am writing to support City Councilor Bob Maples, the City Council and the mayor regarding the recent passage of the Municipal Infrastructure Gross Receipts Tax for the city of Roswell. The .125 percent increase on taxable purchases that will go toward economic development if passed by the citizens will return much more to this community.

I urge the citizens of Roswell to consider the hundreds of citizens who are employed by local hotels, restaurants, retail, entertainment and attractions when you are making your decision to support this additional fee. By continuing to attract tourist and transient business guests to Roswell we will return much needed dollars back into the community.

At the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, we fully support the efforts of Councilor Maples and the Chamber of Commerce and urge our citizens to do the same.

Support for Gingrich

Dear Editor: I have to voice my opinion in reference to the candidates running in the race to become the Republican representative to face Obama in the 2012 election.

I do not want my new president to have won only because he had the most money to run ads that were meant to discredit the others in the race.

Mitt Romney has more money than the others and has run ads that make him appear to be the only one who can win against Obama.

What do you want in your next president? I want a man who can be trusted, one who has experience and is more interested in what he can do for the people of this country than for personal gain/recognition. You need to make up your own mind, but I feel Newt Gingrich is that man.

Mr. Gingrich says he has turned his life around and is not the man he used to be.

Since I turned my life over to Christ, I can relate to that. I believe Mr. Gingrich is sincere, and if God can forgive, who are we to judge?

triggered by allergies, avoid antihistamines.

Once you have sinusitis, the antihistamines can make it harder to get rid of it.

— Be careful with decongestants. Using decongestant nasal sprays for more than three to four days can cause increased swelling after the medication wears off. That swelling

of the nasal passages can make sinusitis worse.

With sinusitis, like with most illnesses, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Who are we?

Dear Editor: Let us be careful where our beliefs are being pulled to.

We all have been taught to believe there is great power where the money is at. It’s surprising when we have it we look at life differently and somehow others who don’t have it seem to be less remembered. As if the poor and less fortunate made themselves poor. That they suffer because they don’t try or they didn’t choose the right road to follow. Is this how we see the poor?

I challenge everyone to not forget about the poor and less fortunate. It’s not a bad thing that we have the poor among us. It’s a reminder to us that when we make decisions we remember the poor and what long-suffering is all about. As we strive to make this world a better place, let us not forget about the poor.

If you can remember when life was not as good as it is for you now you can see what I’m talking about. This is not going to hurt you to give your voice, leadership and strength to protect the poor. If you hustle the poor you will only put more stress on them and that can only increase violence and division. If you tax the people to that point, is a $1.2 million dollar tax hike worth it?

Especially at a time where there is less money to live on?

Half of all Americans are poor right now and the poor refuse to provide welfare for the 2 percent rich by volunteering a gross receipts tax hike.

I have seen those that have much find great joy in protecting the poor. The most beautiful part of humanity is seen when you make life better for the poor and less fortunate. Don’t be afraid to stand up for them and speak for those who need someone to speak for them. If you should ever find yourself poor someday then you will see the poor and less fortunate much differently.

I think about the story of the table with a wealthy man getting the best seat only to be asked to move aside because there is someone who deserves that seat much more. Let us invite the poor to the table and make them

Why do many evangelicals feel the need to see their faith on public display? Are they that insecure about the one in whom they claim to believe? His Apostle, Paul, said, “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7) Was he kidding?

I’m sure Tim Tebow is as fine a man as everyone says he is; everyone except Bill Maher and other “apatheist” detractors. But the Jesus about whom Tebow frequently speaks and to whom he drops to one knee to publicly praise, said to go into your closet and pray in secret and then your prayers will be heard.

The point has been made by several commentators that God also loves players on the losing side of games (and elections), so why don’t losers praise Him and we them? Just asking.

Romney not a job creator

Dear Editor: Mitt Romney’s claims about creating jobs are just that, claims. In fact, Romney’s habit for stretching the truth would be laughable was it not for the real damage Romney’s company, Bain Capital, has done.

For example, Worldwide Grinding Systems, a Romney enterprise, made $12 million, on an $8 million-dollar investment, plus another $4.5 million in consulting fees.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with making a little profit, but in this case the results ended in bankrupting the company and the loss of 750 American jobs.

Then, as the new mode of finance in America seems to dictate, the U.S. government had to rescue this company’s pension fund, to the tune of $44 million dollars; and to add insult to injury, Romney paid taxes on profits, which amounted to a great deal less than the percentage working Americans are required to pay.

Now I do want to be too picky here, because Romney has already said all his business activity is legal, but I do have a small problem when working Americans have to pay for the cleanup when corporate raiders are done trashing a company.

I guess, what I am really trying to say, this is pretty gross conduct for any corporate CEO, let alone any person wanting, so desperately, to be president of the United States.

Jim Osborne Roswell this truth. In the ultimate church-state moment, Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” Jesus responded that Pilate would not have that power had God not given it to him. (John 19:11) Case closed.

American Christianity is unique and the antithesis of what the faith looks like in much of the world. Elsewhere, Christians pay a high price for their faith. Some are denied their freedom, some are denied jobs and still others are denied their lives. Christian missionaries labor for low pay, receive little recognition and are often persecuted. Jesus said those who are greatest on Earth will be least in Heaven and vice versa. (Matthew 19:30) Righteousness doesn’t come from the top, but from the bottom. A nation that focuses on money and pleasure will get political leadership that reflects that idolatry. The list of great nations that have collapsed throughout history is a long one. Self-indulgence toppled most of them. Invading armies merely finished the process.

Instead of intensely focusing on football and the next election, perhaps evangelicals ought to pray more; in private, of course, and with the right motives.

Intentions are good, but action is better A6 Sunday, January 22, 2012

Five birds are sitting on a wire, three decide to fly away. How many birds are left on the wire?

Two? No. The correct answer is five. The decision by the three birds to fly away still leaves all five birds on the wire.

How many times do we make a decision to fly from the wire but then just sit there? We cling to the security of our wire. How often do we make an important decision and then we fail to take even a single step of action toward what we have decided?

Intentions are good. But action is better. An action generally is an intention before it becomes an action, yet one action is better than a bucket full of intentions.

Or put another way, one hundred intentions doesn’t change a single thing in this world. A single action can make an impact for generations to come.

The parable of the Good Samaritan is told in the Bible at Luke 10:25-37. A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, a 17-mile stretch through rocky, desert country, when he was beaten up by robbers who stripped him of his clothes and left him half dead. A priest travel-

ing down the same road passed by the ailing man on the other side of the road. A Levite also came upon the bloodied man and he also passed by on the other side.

A Samaritan came along and took pity on the victim. The Samaritan bandaged the man’s wounds and then put the injured traveler on his donkey and took him to town to an inn. The next day he gave the innkeeper two silver coins for the man to stay at the inn and told the innkeeper he would return and reimburse him for any additional expenses he had not prepaid.

The Good Samaritan would not have been remembered if he had just had good intentions. The

Cowpokes

Obama sidesteps Constitution

Dear Editor: Mark Levin, author of a new book titled “Ameritopia,” said on Fox News that we are living in a “post-Constitutional” United States. President Obama and many leftists starting decades ago certainly want to make it so. Obama has said the Constitution is too restrictive and outdated.

Therefore he has ignored it at will. His drive, like many presidents before him, has been to expand the power of the executive branch over that of the legislative and judicial branches. We have separation of powers in the Constitution to restrain or prevent just such action by power hungry leaders. Both Congress and the president serve with the consent of the governed.

When Congress will not, or cannot, pass his favored legislation, he dodges them and tries to accomplish his plan through his government agencies. He could not get Cap and Trade, so he has used the Environmental Protection Agency to enact through its regulations much of the same agenda. They have decimated whole industries with their endangered species rulings. They care more about tiny fish and spotted owls than they do people, and more recently want to list a sand dune lizard.

Farmers who have natural playas (lakes) occur on their property after a rain can be refused the right to drain and plow it to support their family because it has been deemed a habitat or waterway for water fowl. I read about a farmer who got in deep trouble because he ran over an endangered breed of rat while plowing his field.

This agency, together with the Energy Department, clearly wants to promote only so-called “green” energy, which cannot survive without enormous subsidies (our tax money). They constantly try to slow down oil drilling permits and are going to close down some electric plants which use coal. Here in New Mexico, some of their proposals could drive the oil industry to other states. This industry, especially in the southeast part of the state, creates many good jobs and a good percentage of the tax base of the state. The environmentalists, under former Gov. Bill Richardson, set up impossible air quality standards, as if one small state would make any difference in the world with China and India churning out pollution.

President Obama rides around the world in Air Force One, but wants us to drive a Volt. Meanwhile, he has been reluctant to approve the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada, which could create as many as 20,000 jobs and help make us more energy independent. He needs the votes of both the unions and the environmentalists in the coming election, so this is strictly a selfish political decision.

All alternatives to fossil fuels are more expensive, as are many of the hybrid and electric automobiles. But the president and the Democrats would have you believe they want to help the poor and the middle class. Yet their programs and policies increase the cost of fuel, electricity, automobiles and cost us ever more and more in taxes.

That kind of “help” stems from their ideology, not from any desire to help the poor.

This is only one example of one agency. Through similar methods, the administration is regulating and controlling banks, business, energy, health care, etc. They would like to control news and information sources like the Internet, and I am sure they will try. Then they could stifle dissent. They regulate toilets, tell us what light bulbs we can buy. They require food to have certain information on the labels. They are churning out regulations by the hundreds.

What they are really up to is to centralize the power in Washington, take away our choices as a free people and control every aspect of our lives. Also to make us all dependent on this oppressive government. This election may well decide if this happens or not. We are truly at a crossroad. I vote for limited federal government, just as the founders intended.

priest and the Levite who walked by the half dead man laying in the roadway may have each had the best of intentions, but a lot of good it did to the bloody and beaten man.

It has been said that there are three types of people in the world: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. The Good Samaritan story contains the first two types.

Hopefully none of you reading this fall into the third category!

There are “talkers” and there are “doers.” Talkers talk, talk, talk, talk. Doers take action and cause things to happen. You listen to talkers. You watch doers.

Oftentimes people who repeatedly talk about what they are going to do are the same ones who never get there because they never take action.

Saint Bernard put this concept a different way, “He who wants milk should not sit on a stool in the middle of the pasture expecting the cow to back up to him.” I believe there are a lot of people in this world who sit on a stool in the middle of a field and talk about the day a cow will back up

to be milked. They will talk to any one who will listen. They will even talk to people who don’t want to listen. If this type of person could convert their lips into action, the number of cows they could milk would be amazing.

Henry Ford said, “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.” No one has ever ear ned a solid reputation by merely talking about what they intend to do.

We need to be proactive and not reactive. As Stephen Covey wrote, “Being proactive is more than taking initiative. It is recognizing that we are responsible for our own choices and have the freedom to choose based on principles and values rather than on moods or conditions. Proactive people are agents of change and choose not to be victims, to be reactive, or to blame others.” Or as George Bernard Shaw once stated, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.”

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

My challenge to you is best summed up in an advertising motto, “Just do it.” Whether it is taking that long needed vacation, bringing home flowers to your spouse, writing an uplifting note, exercising, or undertaking that task that you have been putting off, convert your thoughts into action. Stop thinking. Stop talking. H. Jackson Brown said, “The biggest gap in the world is between ‘I should’ and ‘I did.’”

Are you stockpiling internal intentions, or are you generating external actions? In the game of life, the one with the most intentions does not win. Intentions without action leaves one at dead center. Intentions are good, but actions are better.

Sign-up for Alien City Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fastpitch is now under way

We are glad in this column to make our readers aware of an opportunity which is available here in Roswell. This is the second year of the Alien City Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fastpitch league, which was formed under the auspices of the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA). It was formed to give girls an opportunity to play softball during the summer months, and help keep them healthy and active. The Alien City Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fastpitch is available to girls who are ages 6 to 18.

Registration for the league will be as follows: from 6-8 p.m. on Jan. 23, 24, 26, 30 and 31, and

Feb. 2, at the Yucca Center, 500 South Richardson.

Also on Jan. 28, and Feb. 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The cost is $30 per player and a birth certificate or proof of age will be necessary. The first game is planned to begin on May 1, and the program will run through July 2012. There will be several age divisions, and a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age is determined as of Jan. 1, 2012. In other words, if a girl turns 9 on May 5, she is still qualified to play in an age 8 division, since as of January, she was 8 years of age.

Otherwise, there will not be a draft nor tryouts to

place girls on a team.

Coaches are allowed to recruit up to 12 girls, and an effort will be made to work with parents with special circumstances, such things as a need to place players on the same team.

Sports can get kids off the couch and get them to keep moving, thereby promoting physical fitness, strength, cardiovascular health, and agility. It can help children feel better about themselves, promoting selfesteem and self-discipline.

These attributes can carry over into the rest of their lives also. Their academics

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports or many other varieties of activity, we believe it is important that our children remain busy and vital throughout the summer as well as within the school year.

knowing you could succeed. First, free yourself from another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negativity and lack of perspective. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the mistake of letting this person color the big picture. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Push comes to shove if dealing with touchy or difficult people. You wonder why you have made the choices you have up till now. Instead of lunging forward, stop. Take an overview of what is happening. Note the differences between yours and another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Tonight: Cut out and do something totally different.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with others directly, although you could find another person close to impossible to deal with. Tumble on the appropriate path, and this person will become easier to handle. A partnership might no longer be viable. Be honest about that matter. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to living.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deferring draws some upbeat options that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been considered. Listen and weigh your options. Clearly, knowing when enough is enough could be more important than you realize.

Observe another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines. Tonight: The only answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be goaldriven about a situation. You do need to handle a matter more clearly than in the past. Honor the differences of opinions. This attitude might be the result of a better

answer in the long run but an immediate slow-down.

Tonight: Exercise the day away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Listen to news that is forthcoming. You might feel that someone is pushing you, though the appropriate response could be so far out of the ballpark that you cannot believe it. Your creativity and ability surge. Use care with a financial gamble.

Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Though you might judge that you start your morning on the wrong side of the bed, a lot changes quickly. If possible, maintain a low profile in what you take on. The power position of the day is â&#x20AC;&#x153;off stage.â&#x20AC;? You know what is happening within your immediate circle. Tonight: Close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep communication flowing. You might not like everything that you have to do. The ramifications of one key talk could prove to be problematic if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not handled in an appropriate manner. Use care in how you move forward in a situation.

Tonight: Hanging out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay tuned in to what could be a changing money situation. Honor what is happening, but since the situation is subject to constant change, you could be uncomfortable. You might not enjoy what you hear from an associate. Know that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to make a decision immediately. Tonight: Gather your bills.

Hackneyed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Contrabandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is passable You ever have one of those weeks (or heaven forbid longer) where just when you think things canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any worse they do? Mark Wahlbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Farraday, the main protagonist in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contraband,â&#x20AC;? sure has.

Things go from bad to worse for Farraday and his family during the two-hour film and things will never be the same for the Farraday family.

For the audience member, however, the film will be forgotten soon after leaving the theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contrabandâ&#x20AC;? is by no means terrible, but it has that â&#x20AC;&#x153;been there, done thatâ&#x20AC;? feeling and, as a result, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick with the viewers.

The movie is about Chris, a former smuggler who has abandoned a life of crime for the sake of his wife Kate Farraday (Kate Beckinsale) and two kids. Instead of smuggling, Chris now sets up alarm systems for houses.

His former partner in crime Sebastian Abney (Ben Foster) has also left the criminal lifestyle to run his own construction business.

Unfortunately for Chris, his brother -in-law Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) attempts to smuggle in some drugs for Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi in a scene-stealing role).

Things go wrong for Andy when Customs boards the ship he is trying to smuggle the drugs on and Andy is forced to dump the drugs into the water before he is caught.

Obviously that does not sit well with Briggs and he tells Andy that if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get $700,000 for the dumped â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodsâ&#x20AC;? he will kill him.

This is where the story starts to become hackneyed.

Chris and Sebastian, who were the kings of smuggling, are forced to re-enter the smuggling game to save Andy and Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family. Chris and Sebastian set up a deal in Panama to get millions of dollars in counterfeit bills and trade them for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety.

As I said above, things are already pretty bad for Chris, but that is only the beginning. After he boards the ship

that he is set up on with a crew of fellow smugglers, Captain Camp recognizes Chris and quickly demotes him to rug-cleaning duty. His week just got a little worse.

On the way to Panama, Briggs and his crew break into Farradayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and put the scare to Kate and the two kids by firing a few shots into the couch. Seeing as Chris is on a ship to Panama, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything, so he tells his family to get ahold of Sebastian who offers his house to them until Chris returns.

Things continue to get worse for Chris as his plan to get the counterfeit money crumbles around him and he is even forced to help rob an armored vehicle. As bad as everything has been for Chris, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;twistâ&#x20AC;? to the story is one of the worst things that can happen to a person, but I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoil it for you.

What I will spoil for you is that if you are a fan of movies, you will most likely figure out the big twist and pretty much everything else about the movie well before it happens.

Director Baltasar Kormakur plays things by the books and, as a result, there is nothing about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contrabandâ&#x20AC;? that really distinguishes itself from other movies. There is very little action and Beckinsale had virtually no part to play.

My only other complaint with the film is the use of close-ups by Kormakur. I have never watched any of his previous films, so maybe this is one of his calling cards, but his extreme close-ups were a bit unnerving and seemed to be out of focus. Maybe the director chose to do that to flesh out his characters and make them more real, but considering how the rest of the movie is shot, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit or work.

Despite those shortcomings, though, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contrabandâ&#x20AC;? is passable and worth a single viewing if you are a Wahlberg fan.

Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2.5 out of 5 UFOs

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS NOTRE DAME UPSETS NO. 1 SYRACUSE

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Jack Cooley scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds Saturday night as Notre Dame upset No. 1 Syracuse 67-58 and handed the Orange their first loss after 20 straight victories.

Fans stormed the court after the Irish’s rousing victory. It was the eighth time Notre Dame has beaten a No. 1 team — that ties for fourth-most all-time, with North Carolina having the most with 12.

The Orange (20-1, 7-1) played without starting center Fab Melo, who did not make the trip and will not play Monday against Cincinnati.

Without Melo in the middle, the 6-foot-9, 248-pound Cooley was a major force for Notre Dame (12-8, 4-3) and the Irish won the rebound battle 38-25.

Melo had started all 20 of the Orange’s first games, was their leading rebounder with 5.7 a game, averaged 7.2 points and three blocks.

School officials gave no explanation why the talented center did not make the trip. C.J. Fair started for the Orange.

James Southerland scored 15 points for Syracuse, which shot just 34 percent and had its lowest scoring game of the season. Scott Martin added 13 for Notre Dame, which hit 50 percent of its fieldgoal attempts.

Southerland’s 3-pointer with 53.9 seconds left brought the Orange to within 62-56 before the Irish held on as Jerian Grant sank four free throws in the final 32 seconds.

It was the first time the Irish have beaten a topranked team since 1987.

Briefs: RHS girls get win

CLOVIS — The Roswell girls basketball team picked up its 13th win of the season on Saturday with a 48-33 win over Rio Rancho at the Wildcat Invitational in Clovis.

“We had some solid, balanced scoring from our starting five,” said Roswell coach Joe Carpenter about the win. “We’re still a work in progress. We’re trying to get more kids involved so we can get some more production from our bench.

“I was very pleased with our effort.”

After the two teams deadlocked at 8-8 in the first quarter, Roswell pulled away by winning the second quarter 12-3 en route to the victory.

Marika Trujillo led the Coyotes (13-5) with 14 points. Myla Brown and Diana Carrillo chipped in nine apiece and Rikki Ornelas and Arianna Gomez each added eight.

Sometimes it just seems that things don’t go a team’s way.

Shots that are halfway down somehow pop out. Layups and free throws that are normally automatic are somehow being missed.

For much of the Goddard boys basketball team’s game against Clovis on Saturday, it seemed like it wasn’t its night. Despite trailing most of the night and getting unlucky bounces and rolls, the Rockets persevered to beat the Wildcats 61-59 and improve to 18-1.

Through three quarters, Goddard was fighting a nearly-constant uphill battle. After the Rockets took an 8-2 lead in the opening 2:06 of the game, Clovis finished the quarter on a 16-3 run to give them the lead.

Goddard cut the lead to 30-25 after a jumper by Austin Rader, but after that it seemed as if nothing would fall for the Rockets. On the ensuing Goddard possession, Lane Vander Hulst had a layup spin twice around the rim before trickling out and, the next time down the floor, Austin Rader’s 3 was more than halfway down before it escaped the bottom of the net.

The Rockets were able to cut the lead to 32-30 thanks to a 3 by

Invaders second in Amarillo

Rader and a putback layup by David Sweet, but at the halftime buzzer, Vander Hulst’s halfcourter nearly banked in a la Butler’s Gordon Heyward in the 2010 NCAA championship game.

Goddard still trailed by two entering the fourth quarter, but, despite the unlucky breaks and trailing most of the game, the effort level never wavered, which pleased coach Kevin Jones.

“We did miss some easy buckets and free throws, which is uncharacteristic, but that is the game,” he said. “You never know what is going to go and who is going to step up, but we showed a lot of character and a lot of heart.

They just never quit and that is all you can ask from your team: To play hard and never quit.

“If you don’t quit, you don’t know what will happen, but if you quit, you know what is going to happen. We just kept playing hard and didn’t quit.”

The Rockets quickly regained the lead in the fourth when Chase Salazar found Vander Hulst for an easy bucket and Larry Hess hit a runner.

Clovis made the lead shortlived scoring the next four points to take a 48-46 lead.

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

There are few teams in the state of New Mexico that can go toe-to-toe with the No. 1-ranked Roswell Coyotes.

Unfortunately for Ruidoso fans, the Warriors are not one of those teams.

Roswell poured it on the shorthanded Warriors Saturday, scoring 34 first-quarter points en route to a 94-28 win at the Coyote Den. “I thought the kids played a solid game,” said Roswell coach Britt Cooper. “We made some mistakes in the first half and I wasn’t real pleased with our concentration.

“But, everyone who played did a good job.”

LEFT: Roswell’s Fernando Lujan, left, penetrates along the baseline in front of Ruidoso defender Brandon Lewis during the Coyotes’ 94-28 win over the Warriors, Saturday.

When Cooper says “everyone,” he means everyone.

Roswell’s starting five of Cesar Nava, Marquel Warner, Saul Carrillo, Andrew Collier and Anthony Olguin played no more than four minutes in any quarter.

That left the majority of the work up to Fer nando Lujan, Ricky Sanchez, Robert Bonilla, Luis Arenivas and Johnnail Leonard.

That group came through in a big way, something Cooper said just speaks to the depth of his team.

“I think it says a lot about (the depth),” he said. “Those guys need more time. Some of them have only got spot minutes and we’ve played some of them extensive minutes.

“A game like that gives them all a chance to get out there, especially at home and playing in front of the crowd. And I think, sometimes, your second group plays harder because they’re just See COYOTES, Page B2

happy to be out there. I thought they did a real good job.”

In the opening quarter, it was Lujan and Arenivas that did most of the damage.

The two combined to score 17 of Roswell’s 34

points in the quarter as the Coyotes raced to a 34-7 lead.

Roswell only built on that lead throughout the rest of the game.

By halftime, Roswell led 56-15 behind scoring from seven different Coyotes in the second quarter.

Ruidoso scored the first points of the third quarter, but Roswell finished the

quarter off on a 24-1 run to take an 80-18 lead into the final stanza.

Roswell looked poised to crack the century mark in the fourth, but a minuteand-a-half scoreless stretch in the middle of the quarter eliminated the chance of that.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno’s doctors said Saturday that the former Penn State coach’s condition had become “serious,” following complications from lung cancer in recent days.

The winningest major college football coach, Pater no was diagnosed shortly after Penn State’s Board of Trustees ousted him Nov. 9 in the aftermath of the child sex abuse charges against for mer assistant Jerry Sandusky.

While undergoing treatment, his health problems worsened when he broke his pelvis — the same injury he sustained during preseason practice last year.

“Over the last few days Joe Pater no has experienced further health comfamily plications,” spokesman Dan McGinn said in a brief statement to The Associated Press. “His doctors have now characterized his status as serious. His family will have no comment on the situation and asks that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”

Paterno’s sons Scott and Jay each took to Twitter on Saturday night to refute reports that their father had died.

Wrote Jay Pater no: “I

appreciate the support & prayers. Joe is continuing to fight.”

Quoting individuals close to the family, The Washington Post reported on its website that Pater no remained connected to a ventilator, but had communicated his wishes not to be kept alive through any extreme artificial means.

The paper said his family was weighing whether to take him off the ventilator on Sunday.

The 85-year-old Paterno has been in the hospital since Jan. 13 for observation for what his family called minor complications from his cancer treatments.

Not long before that, he conducted his only interview since losing his job, with the Post. Paterno was described as frail and wearing a wig. The second half of the two-day interview was conducted from his bedside.

Roughly 200 students and townspeople gathered Saturday night at a statue of Paterno just outside a gate at Beaver Stadium.

Some brought candles, while others held up their smart phones to take photos of the scene. The mood was somber, with no chanting or shouting.

“Drove by students at the Joe statue,” Jay Paterno

tweeted. “Just told my Dad about all the love & support--inspiring him.”

Penn State student David Marselles held a candle in his right hand and posed next to a life-sized cardboard cutout of Pater no that he keeps at his apartment. A friend took a photo on the frigid night.

“I came to Penn State because of Joe Pater no.

Since I was a little kid, I’ve been watching the games ... screaming ‘We Are ... Penn State’ because of him. ...

He inspired me to go to college,” Marselles said. “With such a tragic event like this, I just thought it was necessary to show my support.”

The final days of Paterno’s Penn State career were easily the toughest in his 61 years with the university and 46 seasons as head football coach.

Sandusky, a longtime defensive coordinator who was on Paterno’s staff during two national title seasons, was arrested Nov. 5 and ultimately charged with sexually abusing a total of 10 boys over 15 years. His arrest sparked outrage not just locally but across the nation and there were widespread calls for Paterno to quit.

Paterno announced late on Nov. 9 that he would

points, which ties the season high for the Coyotes.

“We just wanted to play throughout and you just don’t want to have lulls and play down to your competition,” Cooper said after the game. “I didn’t think we did that. I think, for the most part, we really kept our concentration and really played.”

Roswell moved to 16-0 on

Roswell Daily Record the year with the win.

“I think, for the most part, we’ve played pretty consistent and we’re improving every game,” Cooper said. “Last night, we didn’t have our best game and then to come back and rebound for tonight and be ready to play again, that shows a little bit of resolve.

“That’s what I’m looking

for right now, is just trying to improve and getting different people in.”

Roswell had five players in double figures on the night. Warner led the Coyotes with 15, Arenivas poured in 14, Lujan chipped in 13, and Nava and Sanchez each had 10.

Jordan Padilla and Joe Marquez led the Warriors with six points apiece.

throws by D.J. Blackmon, Salazar evened the game up with a jumper of his own.

Two more free throws by Blackmon gave the Wildcats a 52-50 lead and, on the ensuing Goddard possession, Salazar hit a jumper to once again tie the game.

Vander Hulst hit two freebies to give Goddard a 54-52 lead and Salazar ended the next Wildcat possession with a steal and, on the other end, he was the beneficiary of a Rader pass that led to an open 3 that pushed the Rocket lead to 57-52.

Goddard’s lead grew back to five after Rader went 1 of 2 from the charity stripe with 2:12 left, but Clovis wouldn’t go away.

Blackmon scored four points on the ensuing Wildcat possession in unique fashion. With 1:41 left, Blackmon hit a layup while being fouled, but missed the free throw. Clovis was able to corral the miss and the ball once again found its way into Blackmon’s hands and he sunk another layup while being fouled, cutting the lead to 58-57 after the missed free throw.

Goddard turned the ball over on its

next possession and the Wildcats made them pay when Blackmon fed Marshall Winn for an easy layup that gave Clovis a 59-58 lead with 42 seconds left.

Some coaches at this point may have called a set play, but Jones chose to let Salazar do what he does best: create. “(I didn’t call anything) at the end,” he said. “I just told him to go play. Chase is our creator and I don’t want to put him in a box. I want to let him play. I told him, ‘Go play and make it happen,’ and he did.”

Salazar sure did make it happen.

With 30 seconds left, the senior point guard had the ball at the top of the key and used a hesitation move to open up a driving lane to his left. The Wildcats’ help defense was late getting over to Salazar, and he lofted a shot over Winn that kissed off the glass and in, giving the Rockets a 60-59 lead.

Clovis had two shots on its ensuing possession and, after grabbing the defensive rebound on the second one, Vander Hulst went 1 of 2 from the line to give Goddard a 61-59 lead with fivetenths of a second remaining. Clovis’ desperation heave at the buzzer was short, giving Goddard the win.

Vander Hulst led Goddard with 16 points 14 rebounds and three steals, while Salazar chipped in with 12 points, six steals and five assists. l.foster@rdrnews.com

Susan Paterno, left, sits with her husband, former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, as he is interviewed at his home in State College, Pa., on Jan. 12. According to Paterno’s doctors, the former Nittany Lion coach’s condition has become “serious” following complications from lung cancer in recent days. retire at the end of the season, but hours later he received a call from board vice chair man John Surma, telling him he had been terminated. By that point, a crowd of students and media were outside the Paterno home. When news spread that Paterno had been dumped, there was rioting in State College.

Police on Saturday evening barricaded the block where Paterno lives, and a police car was stationed about 50 yards from his home. Several people had gathered in the living room of the house. No one was outside, other than reporters and photographers.

Trustees said this week they pushed Paterno out in part because he failed a moral responsibility to report an allegation made in 2002 against Sandusky to authorities outside the university. They also felt he had challenged their authority and that, as a practical matter, with all

the media in town and attention to the Sandusky case, he could no longer run the team.

Paterno testified before the grand jury investigating Sandusky that he had relayed to his bosses an accusation that came from graduate assistant Mike McQueary, who said he saw Sandusky abusing a boy in the showers of the Penn State football building.

Paterno told the Post that he didn’t know how to handle the charge, but a day after McQueary visited him, he spoke to the athletic director and the administrator with oversight over the campus police.

Wick Sollers, Paterno’s lawyer, called the board’s comments this week selfserving and unsupported by the facts. Paterno fully reported what he knew to the people responsible for campus investigations, Sollers said.

“He did what he thought was right with the informa-

tion he had at the time,” Sollers said.

Sandusky says he is innocent and is out on bail, awaiting trial.

The back and forth between Paterno’s representative and the board reflects a trend in recent weeks, during which Penn State alumni — and especially for mer players, including Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris — have questioned the trustees’ actions and accused them of failing to give Paterno a chance to defend himself.

Three town halls, in Pittsburgh, suburban Philadelphia and New York City, seemed to do little to calm the situation and dozens of candidates have now expressed interest in running for the board, a volunteer position that typically attracts much less interest.

Major college capsules The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Darius Miller hit four free throws in the final minute and freshmen Marquis Teague and Anthony Davis each added two more as Kentucky earned its nation’s best 47th straight home victory with a 77-71 win over Alabama.

NFC Championship conjures memories from past era Roswell Daily Record

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Giants boasted a physical, intimidating defense with athletic linebackers and stout linemen capable of stifling the NFL’s most productive offenses. San Francisco featured a highpowered passing attack led by an eventual Hall of Fame quarterback in his prime with receivers capable of turning short passes into big gains.

When the San Francisco 49ers host the New York Giants in the NFC championship game Sunday for a shot at the Super Bowl, the matchup conjures memories from a previous era of this great rivalry — even if the roles are somewhat reversed.

The elite quarterback now is New York’s Eli Manning, who connects on big plays to Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz in a similar fashion to how Joe Montana and Jerry Rice did for the dominant Niners in the 1980s.

San Francisco’s current front seven led by relentless defensive lineman Justin Smith, rookie passrushing specialist Aldon Smith and fierce linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman resembles that old Giants group featuring Hall of Famers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson.

And who could have predicted this surprising pairing?

The Giants (11-7) toppled defending champion Green Bay 37-20 last Sunday when everybody figured the road to the Super Bowl would go through Lambeau Field. Instead, New York is traveling West to San Francisco to face the upstart 49ers (14-3) in a meeting of franchises with so many fresh faces on the big stage.

Jim Harbaugh’s “mighty men” as he calls them stunned Drew Brees and the favored Saints 36-32 when Alex Smith hit Vernon Davis for the gamewinning 14-yard touchdown with 9 seconds remaining.

Smith knows both the 49ers and Giants showed it’s anybody’s game come playoff time.

“Look at last week, I think everybody thought the road was going to go through Lambeau. I think everybody assumed the NFC championship game was going to get played there and look what happens,” Smith said. “These teams at this point, everybody’s as good as each other and it’s all going to come down to how you execute on that day. We’re all capable of beating each

17-16 at the half but couldn’t hold on in a loss to Santa Teresa on Saturday.

Santa Teresa took a 28-26 lead by the end of the third quarter and pulled away in the fourth.

Rocket coach Greg Torres said that Santa Teresa started shooting well in the final quarter.

“They hit three 3s in the fourth and got hot late,” he said. “Those 3s helped them pull away.

We had some shots around the basket that we didn’t convert. They hung around and gave themselves a chance and got streaky with their shooting. It is one of those things.”

Alex Zumbrun led Goddard (4-16) with nine points, while Danielle Hubbard and Abbie Blach added six points each.

Fort Sumner 47, Dexter 27 FOR T SUMNER — Fort Sumner outscored Dexter 14-0 in the first quarter and never looked back in its win on Saturday.

other, that’s for sure.”

Smith and Manning each orchestrated five fourthquarter comebacks during the regular season, yet Manning missed in a 27-20 loss at San Francisco on Nov. 13 when Justin Smith batted away his last-ditch pass attempt on fourth down in the waning moments.

“This is about the NFC championship. It’s an opportunity to get this win and go on to the Super Bowl,” Manning said. “We played them once before.

We know they’re a good team. There’s no denying that. They’re playing great football. They’re playing with great confidence. It’s going to be exciting going out there and having another shot and seeing what we can do.”

Niners long snapper Brian Jennings is the only one left on either side from San Francisco’s last trip to the playof fs in January 2003, when the 49ers rallied for a stunning 39-38 comeback victory against the Giants at Candlestick Park. San Francisco also had beaten New York during the regular season that year.

It’s sold out for Sunday’s game with rain in the forecast as the 49ers look for their first trip to the NFC title game since the 1997 season. For mer 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. will serve as honorary captain after team president and nephew, Jed York, called him immediately after beating the Saints with the thoughtful invite.

Fittingly, DeBartolo owned the team from 197798, when the 49ers won five Super Bowls. He was af fectionately known as “Mr. D” to his players and coaches.

The only other time these two franchises faced off in the conference championship the game finished in memorable fashion. On Jan. 20, 1991, Roger Craig fumbled with the 49ers leading 13-12 late in the fourth quarter and the Giants went on to win 1513 to deny San Francisco a chance at a third straight Super Bowl title. New York then beat the Bills to capture its second Super Bowl.

These teams met six times in the playof fs between the 1981 and ‘94 seasons with the winner going on to win the Super Bowl four times.

There shouldn’t be too many elements of surprise Sunday considering how recently they last played, though Harbaugh is always good for a few tricks.

“That first game has nothing to do with what happens Sunday night,” Giants safety Antrel Rolle said.

Davis had a career day against New Orleans with seven catches for 180 yards — the most yards receiving by a tight end in a playoff game — so the Giants certainly will try to neutralize him and put constant pressure on a never-more-confident Smith.

Harbaugh has used the phrase “don’t overcook it” with is players as a reference to sticking with what got them this far in a remarkable tur naround season.

“Burnt meat, stale bread doesn’t taste real good,” Harbaugh said. “Like to get it just right. Not undercooked, not overcooked.”

In that November game, the 49ers won their seventh straight and did so without relying on star running back Frank Gore, whose franchise-record streak of five straight games with 100 yards rushing ended with a knee injury and his first career game with zero yards.

Forget about it. He’s ready to roll this weekend.

“He makes a big difference and there is not a question about that,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “If you look at the way he is utilized and how much they put on the runners when they come in, how much emphasis they put on the run game, he is certainly someone you must pay attention to.”

New York is riding its own impressive roll.

Manning threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns against the Packers as the surging Giants won their fourth straight game.

He’d love to win another Super Bowl ring to go with the one he has for the 2007 season.

“The Giants, we saw them earlier in the season and they’re playing at a

much higher level, especially these last four or five games they’ve played, done an outstanding job, and we are too, you know?” San Francisco left tackle Joe Staley said. “I think we’re a dif ferent team than we were earlier in the season, playing a lot better, with a lot more confidence.”

In fact, the 49ers have

already more than exceeded expectations for Harbaugh’s first season. They won the NFC West to end an eight-year playof f drought and the same stretch without a winning record. On top of that, they ear ned the NFC’s No. 2 seed and home-field advantage. That proved huge in eliminating New Orleans.

Demon coach Kim Hamill said that her team played hard.

“I thought we played really hard and worked hard,” she said. “We had good looks at the basket, but we just couldn’t get it to fall.”

Dexter outscored Fort Sumner 20-6 in the fourth quarter.

Tamara Salas led Dexter (7-11) with 11 points.

Prep wrestling

Goddard RUIDOSO — David Anaya won the 182pound weight class and was named the outstanding upper -weight wrestler at the Warrior Classic on Saturday.

The Rockets also got wins from Bishop Whiteside (170) and Luis Terrazas (195) as the team finished second in a field of 11 teams.

Other top finishers for the Rockets were Chandler Lessard (115; fifth), Adonai Romero (120; fourth), Raymond Anaya (126; sixth), Marcus Trujillo (138; fifth), Joe Hernandez (145; fourth), Anthony Ramirez (160; fourth), Jacob Letcher (220; second), Eathyn Grif fin (heavyweight; fifth).

Lowell N. Randall

Lowell N. Randall, rocket pioneer, passed away early Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012, at Good Samaritan Las Cruces Village, Home Health Center. At 96, Lowell was the last living member of the Robert Goddard team. Goddard and his group developed liquid fuel rockets and thus laid the foundation for going to the moon, Goddard’s personal goal. With formal education only through high school but with native intelligence and knack for practical engineering honed while with Goddard, Lowell rose to positions of importance in the developing field of aerospace engineering. As project engineer at White Sands Proving Grounds in the early 1950s, he put the Redstone Missile back on schedule. In a modified form this missile sent the first American astronauts into space. In the late 1950s, working for the Glenn L. Martin (later Martin Marietta) Company, Lowell led the team that brought to completion the Titian I Missile, the first true multi-stage intercontinental ballistic missile and one that could also serve for space flights.

Lowell was bor n in Roswell, to Orlando and Maude Randall and grew up there. In early 1941, he joined the Goddard team and during World War II worked with the team for the Navy in Annapolis, Md. After the war and Goddard’s death, he worked for Curtiss Wright in New Jersey and in 1952 moved back to New Mexico to join White Sands Proving Grounds. Lowell subsequently moved to Colorado to take a position with the Martin Company and in 1967 retur ned to White Sands and Las Cruces.

Robert Miller

Robert Nathaniel Miller, 94, of Roswell, passed away peacefully on Jan. 17, 2012, at home with his family at his side. Services for Bob will be held at 11 a.m., on Monday, Jan. 23, 2012, at Anderson-Bethany Funeral Home Chapel.

Bob was born Dec. 27, 1917, to Nels and Anna Miller, in Modesto, Calif.

Bob lived in California for the first 40 years, before moving to Hawaii to start a heating and air conditioning company, Kona Air Conditioning. Bob moved to Roswell in 2001. Bob’s great loves were water skiing, traveling and his wife of 70 years, Dorothy. The 80 years that Bob lived in Califor nia and Hawaii attested to his love for water, especially water skiing. Bob even built his own boat and was featured in a newspaper.

Bob and Dorothy loved to travel and visited every continent except Antarctica. Their favorite trip was a tour of Egypt, but they also enjoyed trips to Hong Kong, Kenya, the Mediterranean,

Roswell Daily Record and Australia. Dorothy and Bob met at a dance hall in California and married in Reno, Nev., on June 28, 1941. Dorothy passed away last spring, but had she survived until that June, they would have been married 70 years. They passed on a great tradition of love to their descendants, and are now reunited.

After moving to Roswell, Bob was content to spend time playing dominos, reading and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandson. He even taught his great-grandson his first word, “pow,” and was the best at getting Ethan to fall asleep at night by rocking him in his wheelchair. Bob will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy; his parents; and three sisters. He is survived by his two sons, Stanley Miller, of Kailua, Hawaii, and Randall Miller of Chicago; his three grandsons, Timothy and Jason Miller, of Kaneone, Hawaii, and Jim Stiles, of Roswell; his two granddaughters, Katie Stiles, of Roswell, and Carolyn Miller, of Tempe, Ariz.; his great-grandson Ethan Stiles, of Roswell; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.

I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.

The good life I lived while I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.

Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.

Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how small.

Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.

Until the day comes we're together again.”

Wayne Milner

Funeral services are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 23, 2012, at 11:30 a.m., at First Baptist Church, for Wayne Milner, who passed away at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque on Jan. 19, 2012. The Rev. Matt Brooks, of First Baptist Church will officiate.

Wayne was bor n in Carlsbad, on June 17, 1936, to Willis H. and Millicent Milner, and they relocated to Roswell when he was still quite young. He graduated from Roswell High School in May 1954, and entered Texas A&M University the following fall.

At that time, A&M was an all-military school and he was a proud member of the corps of cadets. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in economics in 1958, and received his commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army. After serving on active duty, he was a member of the National Guard for several years.

Wayne met his future wife Zoe Ann during his college years, and they were married in Roswell’s First Baptist Church on Aug. 30, 1958. Following his active duty with the Army, they moved to Dallas, where he began his career as a financial advisor and account executive with E.F. Hutton and Co. In 1962, Wayne and Zoe Ann moved back to New Mexico with two young daughters, and he furthered his career by becoming manager of the Roswell Hutton office, later manager of the Shearson Lehman Hutton office, and he retired in 2000 from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.

Wayne won numerous awards throughout his career, including E.F. Hutton’s prestigious President’s Club award for three consecutive years. He served as an advisory director at Roswell’s Sunwest Bank, was on the Board of Directors for the United Way, and on the board of the Historical Society of Southeast New Mexico. He served as president of the Chaves County Young Republicans, state president of New Mexico Young Republicans, and was chosen as New Mexico Young Republican Association Man of the Year in 197071. He was an active member of Roswell Rotary Club for many years, serving as Rotary Youth Leadership Awards chairman, and was honored in 2004 as a Paul Harris Fellow.

Wayne is survived by his wife of 53 years Zoe Ann; his daughter, Melissa Proctor and her husband Mark, of Roswell; his daughter, Pam Schultz and her husband Jim, of Roswell; son Steven Milner, of Albu-

querque; and sister Marlayne Ribbach and her husband Jack, of Roswell. He is also survived by his nephew Mark Ribbach, of Hawaii; and his grandchildren, Michela Proctor, Madison Proctor, Rebecca Schultz and Kristen Schultz. He was preceded in death by his parents Willis and Millicent Milner; and his oldest son Chris.

Wayne accepted Christ as his personal saviour during his sophomore year at Texas A&M, was baptized, and faithfully joined and attended the Baptist churches in communities where he and Zoe Ann lived. He was the personification of honesty and integrity in his career and a dedicated family man. He loved to hunt, fish, play golf, spend time in his “home away from home” in Red River in the beautiful mountains of northern New Mexico ... and travel. He and Zoe Ann toured their favorite European countries on several trips abroad.

They loved cruising the Greek Islands, the Scandinavian countries, and even visited Russia before the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Honorary pallbearers will be Howard Perry, Jon Coll, Brett Leach, the Hon. Bobby R. Baldock, the Hon. Paul Kelly Jr., Charles Plett, Stan Bush, Don Hollister and Charles Wilson.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Genesis Building Project at Roswell’s First Baptist Church, 500 North Pennsylvania Ave., or to the Assurance Home, 1000 East 18th St., 88201.

Charles R. Hare

On Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, at 10:15 a.m., Charles R. “Dogie” Hare left this Earth and went into the arms of his heavenly father, after a short bout with cancer. He was at home, surrounded by his loving family and dear friends. We are deeply grateful for Vista Care Hospice and all its wonderful staf f for being there for Dogie and the family.

Dogie was a lifelong resident of Roswell, from the age of 5, having been born in Portales, on May 29, 1936. While in the Navy, he proudly served in the Korean War. He served in national defense and for the China service.

Dogie is survived by his wife and best friend of 44 years Mary; his daughter Robin Casady, of Roswell; grandson Bryan Massey, of Las Cruces; granddaughter Tamara Davis, of Melrose; and great-granddaughter Julia Davis. He is also sur-

Preceding Dogie in death were his parents Jim and Florence Hare; his brother, Jim Hare; his uncle, Tom Hare; nephews, Jon Ray Hare and Jim Tom Hare; and niece, Jessilyn Hare.

Dogie was a hard-working man his whole life. His most recent jobs, after retirement from the NM State Highway Department, included part-time brand inspector and Dogie’s Tractor Work.

Dogie was a devoted husband and father, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend.

He could always be counted on for help when needed. He has touched the hearts of many people during his lifetime. His special interest was the Chaves County Sheriff’s Posse, of which he’d been a member for 40 years. Dogie will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

A memorial service for family and friends is planned for 4 p.m., on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012, at the Chaves County Sheriff’s Posse building, 1403 E.

1st gent supports adult literacy Sunday, January 22, 2012

SANTA FE (AP) — With about 46 percent of New Mexico’s native English speakers reading at a sixthgrade level or below, the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy is pushing the Legislature for more funding.

And helping drive their efforts is first gentleman Chuck Franco.

The husband of Gov. Susana Martinez spoke at a press conference earlier this week about his support for expanding such services and the goal of eradicating illiteracy in New Mexico.

“My interest in adult literacy came to me when I was in law enforcement,” Franco told a small crowd gathered at St. Francis Hotel in downtown Santa Fe. Franco said that when he started working with troubled youth, he realized that their issues ran beyond behavioral problems. Having parents at home who couldn’t read was one of them.

Having a well-educated population is important for New Mexico’s economic advancement, Franco said.

Companies interested in coming to New Mexico want to know that there is a prepared workforce.

Supporting the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy also complements Martinez’s push to improve K12 education in the state, Franco said.

The coalition, which has been in Santa Fe for 25 years, is one way to help improve adults’ reading skills, Franco said.

Funded by the Department of Cultural Af fairs through the New Mexico

New Mexico's first gentleman Chuck Franco, Nov. 4, 2010.

State Library, the coalition currently operates on a $325,000 budget, down from the $755,000 budget it had before the economy tanked. The coalition funds 23 literacy programs throughout the state.

Executive Director Heather Heunermund said funding cuts reduced services across the state. During the Legislature’s current 30-day session, the organization will ask for an additional $347,200, she said. To help ease the strain, Public Service Co. of New Mexico’s Resources Foundation awarded the literacy coalition a $20,000 grant on Wednesday.

The number of illiterate or functionally literate adults in New Mexico derives from various sources: U.S. Census Bureau data and a 1993 National Assessment of Adult Literacy Survey (the most recent survey available). In the near future, the coalition plans to work with New Mexico State University to create a localized literacy survey.

Little girl’s ‘boyfriend’ part of childish fantasy Q: Our 4-year-old daughter has been talking a lot about having a “boyfriend.”

Recently, while playing with some neighborhood kids, she and a boy of the same age kept going of f into a corner of the yard “to be alone.” Should I be worried about this?

Jim: Our counselors at Focus on the Family have addressed this issue in the past. In essence, there’s no reason to be overly concerned about this type of behavior. Your daughter is simply engaging in childish make-believe.

However, it’s worth asking yourself exactly why her playtime activities are so heavily focused on dating. Her behavior strongly suggests that she’s imitating attitudes and actions that she’s seen modeled elsewhere.

If I were to take a guess, I’d say she’s probably gotten this preoccupation from the media. Much of the TV

programming aimed at tweens, while not sexually explicit, is focused on malefemale relationships, dating and so on. If you’re allowing your daughter to watch TV shows of this nature, it would be a good idea to put a stop to it until she’s older. It’s also possible that her preoccupation with boyfriends has come from her peers (who may themselves be viewing programs aimed at older viewers), or from an older sibling who has entered the dating years.

Whatever her inspiration, if the behavior continues, we’d suggest you gently take your daughter aside and ask her where she learned about such things.

Tell her how glad you are that her group of friends includes both boys and girls, and encourage her to spend time playing with both. Then explain that girls don’t have to have “boyfriends” until they’re

comparison. For example, there’s a big dif ference between telling an endearing story about how Bob could never fix the faucet and saying, “Bob always made me laugh when I was sad. I miss that.”

It would be helpful for you and your husband to have an open conversation about which statements are distancing or hurtful to the other. Maybe you’re sensitive when your husband talks about how beautiful his first wife was. Let him know those triggers so that he can be sensitive to them. You both need a safe place to process things that may be difficult for you to talk about together.

Finally, give yourselves permission to invest in this new marriage. There can be a lot of hidden feelings of guilt and grief that keep you from enjoying what you have together. You might feel that your marriage is in some way a betrayal of

much older. A simple conversation of this nature, without making a big deal about it, will likely do the trick.

Q: My husband and I were recently married.

We’re both senior citizens who lost our spouses over the last few years. Now that we’re remarried, we’re noticing that we bring up our prior spouses often.

We’re struggling with how to stay focused on each other and the people we are, and not how our previous spouses did things.

Can you help?

Juli: Congratulations on your new marriage! With all

the books written on marriage, there are not many that address your unique situation.

The spouses that you lost are an important part of your histories. Not talking about them would be like not mentioning your career or your children. It would be stifling and unnatural.

You’ll never forget the years you spent together, nor should you. However, your statement about staying focused on each other is key.

Although you will talk about your previous spouses, avoid statements that could be interpreted as a

Water features can bring interest, beauty and wildlife to a garden, but they also can be work.

That’s why many homeowners are choosing relatively small options such as fountains, bubbling urns and waterfalls, rather than ponds and streams, industry analysts say.

“A big backyard pond takes a lot of time to clean,” said Laura Dickinson, extension master gardener coordinator at Kansas State University. “You have to fight with the critters, keep the water in balance and prevent algae from building up. You have to do special things in winter to shut it down and again in spring to set it up.

“It can get pretty expensive if you want to hire all that done,” Dickinson said.

Sharon Coates, vice president of Zaretsky and Associates Inc., a landscape design and consulting firm

in Macedon, N.Y., said many of her clients are forgoing water features “because of the perception of high maintenance.” The biggest problems, she said, arise from unforeseen circumstances.

“These can be caused by chipmunks or other animals nesting and chewing on the liner, or even by herons deciding to go fishing in your pond,” Coates said. “Bubbling ur ns or boulder water features have a below-grade plastic composite basin that is not easily damaged.”

Some things to consider when deciding whether to landscape large with ponds or small with fountains: — Work: Water features are a labor of love, and many homeowners enjoy the activities required to keep a smooth-running pond, creek and waterfall, Coates said. But she adds a cautionary note: “As peo-

ple work more hours and feel the pressures of balancing work and home life, they are looking for the benefits of a water feature without all the work of a full-blown pond.”

— Safety: Consider any risks to your own or neighboring children, Coates said. “Many municipalities are considering ponds of a certain size to be swimming pools, and therefore they need to be fenced like a pool,” she said.

— Price: Fountains cost less to buy and install, said Genevieve Schmidt, a landscape designer in Arcata, Calif. “Ponds are the most expensive item per square foot commonly installed in the landscape - more expensive than flagstone patios,” she said.

— Energy Savings: Fountains require less power to operate than ponds. “They use a smaller pump since they have less water in

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If you are too cold to be outside without a coat, your dog probably is too. If your cat eats just one of your acetaminophen cold or flu pills, it could be fatal.

Those are just a few of the tips experts offer to keep pets safe this winter. Here are some other basic coldweather precautions with pets from experts and animal welfare organizations.

From the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: — Keep your dog leashed in the snow and make sure it has an ID tag. Dogs can lose scents in snow and get lost.

— Keep your dog’s coat longer for warmth. If you have a short-haired pet, get a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck that covers it from the base of its tail to its belly.

— Don’t leave a pet unattended in a car. The vehicle can act like a refrigerator, holding in the cold and freezing your pet to death.

— Puppies may be difficult to housebreak in winter. If weather bothers a

puppy, try paper-training indoors.

— Make sure your pet has a warm place to sleep, away from drafts and if possible, off the floor.

— Outdoor cats and wildlife will often sleep under hoods of cars. Bang on the hood before starting the car to give the animal a chance to escape.

From the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital: — Pets, like people, are vulnerable to hypothermia and frostbite. Get your pet to a vet if it is shivering, disoriented and lethargic or if its hair is puffed out and standing on end. Frostbite can turn skin bright red, pale or black. Skin at the tips of ears and on extremities, including reproductive organs, are particularly at risk.

— Antifreeze can be fatal to a pet, even in small amounts. They will need immediate emergency care.

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning include drunk-like behavior, vomiting, excessive urination, drinking and depression. Pets may

appear to recover within a few hours, but the antifreeze continues to poison their systems and is often fatal. Don’t ever dump antifreeze on the ground, and store it away from pets.

If there is a spill, sop it up immediately.

— Dogs kept outdoors should have a dry, draft-free doghouse big enough for the dog to sit and lie down in comfortably but small enough to hold its body heat. The floor should be a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw. The house should face away from wind and the doorway should be covered with waterproof burlap or heavy plastic.

— Use plastic food and water bowls instead of metal because your pet’s tongue can stick and freeze to metal.

— Use pet-friendly versions of products that melt ice on steps, driveways and sidewalks. Products like Safe Paw and Safe-T -Pet avoid chemicals that irritate pets’ paws (and their stomachs, if they lick their

— Keep pets away from medication commonly used during cold and flu season.

Two hours after an average cat eats just one tablet containing 500 grams of acetaminophen, it may start having trouble breathing. In addition to gasping, other life-threatening signs of acetaminophen poisoning in cats that require immediate veterinary care include swollen face and paws, lethargy, and discolored gums, DeClementi said.

— Dogs are less sensitive to acetaminophen because they tend to be bigger, but four or five of the pills eaten by a 50-pound dog can cause liver failure, she said.

If a dog eats your decongestant and it contains pseudoephedrine, the animal can experience a racing heart, tremors and even seizures.

stroke. In your grandmother’s memory, I’ll describe them.

The most common stroke symptoms are: sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg — especially on one side of the body. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination. Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

Other important but common symptoms include: sudden nausea, fever and vomiting — distinguished from a viral illness by the speed of onset (minutes or hours versus several days).

And brief loss of consciousness such as fainting or convulsions.

If you see or have any of these symptoms, call 911! Every minute counts, and treatment can be more effective if it’s given quickly.

Great question! The first hint is: very carefully! You can remove wax by scraping it off with a credit card or other plastic scraper. Don’t use anything metal, and go slowly so you do not gouge the wood.

Once the wax is removed, you may still have a stain left. If this occurs, try using a good commercial wood cleaner — not wood polish — to clean the area. You can find it at a home-improvement store.

Going with the grain of the wood, apply a small amount of cleaner and let it sit for about five minutes. Then gently buff with a small, dry cloth. You may need to repeat.

If the wood cleaner does not remove the stain, the best solution may be to refinish your table. Hope this helps!

Microsoft and IBM push Dow up, Google falls

NEW YORK (AP) — IBM and Microsoft drove the Dow Jones industrial average higher Friday after the tech giants reported stronger earnings than analysts expected.

Microsoft said sales of Xbox games and Office software helped push revenue up in the last quarter of 2011. IBM credited better sales of software and services and raised its earnings outlook for the year. Microsoft rose 6 percent and IBM rose 4 percent.

The Dow rose 96.50 points to close at 12,720.48. That’s a gain of 0.8 percent. Without the huge gains in IBM and Microsoft, the Dow would have risen just 24 points.

The S&P 500 index inched up 0.88 to 1,315.38. Both the Dow and S&P ended the week with gains of more than 2 percent.

Plenty of things are going right, said Frank Fantozzi, CEO of Planned Financial Services, an independent wealth manager in Cleveland. Applications for unemployment benefits dropped last week to the lowest level in nearly

“Overall, we’re moving in the right direction and it’s bolstered the market,” Fantozzi said. “The S&P getting over 1,300 this week

is a nice sign.”

Google lost 8.4 percent after its earnings per share fell a dollar short of analysts’ estimates. The misfire stemmed from an 8 percent drop in prices that the Internet search giant charges advertis-

ers for each click.

Google’s drop tugged the Nasdaq composite index lower. It fell 1.63 points to 2,786.70.

Even though high-profile companies such as Google and JPMorgan Chase have posted disappointing earnings results in the past week, the trend is moving in the opposite direction. Of the 60 companies in the S&P index that have reported earnings so far, 62 percent have beaten estimates, according to John Butters, senior ear nings analyst at FactSet Research.

In another sign that traders were becoming more willing to take on risk, the yield on the 10year Treasury note crossed above 2 percent for the first time in two weeks. The yield, a widely used benchmark for corporate and consumer borrowing, had inched lower since early December as traders parked money in the safest of assets.

The National Association of Realtors said that home sales rose 5 percent in December, the third straight monthly increase.

Among other companies in the news:

— Capital One Financial lost 5.6 percent. The bank and creditcard company’s earnings sank 41 percent as expenses for marketing, salaries and legal fees jumped compared with the year before.

— Schlumberger rose 1.3 percent. The oil-field services company’s quarterly profit surged 36 percent, helped by exploration work in the Middle East and Africa. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to 27.5 cents.

— Intel rose 2.9 percent. The world’s largest chip maker reported stronger profits after the market closed Thursday. Intel’s results got a boost from sales to China and other developing countries, where many people are buying PCs for the first time.

Stocks have been on a slow and steady climb to start 2012. The S&P 500 has closed higher on 11 of 13 days and is now up 4.6 percent for the year.

With crude around $100 US gas prices stay high Assistance NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil lingered around $100 a barrel this week, helping to keep retail gasoline prices at their highest levels ever for this time of year.

Crude has ranged from about $98 per barrel to around $102 per barrel this week. On Friday benchmark oil fell $2.21 to end at $98.33 per barrel in New York.

The national average for gasoline was $3.38 per gallon Friday.

Pump prices peaked at about $4 a gallon in May as crude oil approached $114 a barrel.

Oil and gasoline prices are staying high now because of tension in the Middle East and worries about Europe sliding into a recession.

Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, if the U.S. and other countries impose more sanctions on it because of its nuclear program.

Many analysts doubt that Iran could set up a blockade for long, but any supply shortages would cause supplies to tighten.

Gas prices are likely to move up or down based on the outcome, PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said.

If the situation calms down, retail gas prices could fall from 25 cents to 50 cents a gallon. If the situation intensifies, prices could increase by that much.

“It’s that much of a wild card,” Flynn said. “I think it’s a very volatile situation and I think we

could go either way.”

Europe is still struggling with massive debt problems that threaten to drive the region into recession. The uncertainty about how the crisis will play out is helping to keep oil prices up as well.

Retail gasoline consumption in the U.S. has been falling steadily for the past 10 months, according to surveys by MasterCard SpendingPulse. Although recent data points to the U.S. economy slowly improving, many drivers appear to be sticking with habits they picked up during the recession — watching how much they spend on expensive gas and combining trips to save on fuel.

Those habits may continue.

Flynn and other analysts think that the national average for gas could reach $4 per gallon again by spring, as refiners switch to more expensive anti-smog blends ahead of the summer driving season.

In other energy trading, natural gas fell 2 cents to finish at $2.34 per 1,000 cubic feet. The price remains near a 10-year low because a mild winter has cut demand and supplies remain plentiful. Heating oil fell 5 cents to end at $2.99 per gallon and gasoline futures fell 3 cents to $2.78 per gallon.

Brent crude fell $1.69 to finish at $109.86 per barrel in London.

General Electric expects 2012 to be another volatile year NEW YORK (AP) — General Electric Co. is bracing for another volatile year. The global conglomerate expects to see emerging markets from China to South America continue to grow while Europe falls into a recession.

Its own results are also telling two different stories: Fourth-quarter profit improved when the results of sold-off businesses are excluded. But revenue fell short of Wall Street’s expectations, partly because of a slowdown in Europe.

In a conference call with analysts, CEO Jeffrey Immelt called the last three months of 2011 “a good quarter (that) could have been even better.”

But, he added: “I like our momentum, and really we feel good about where we are and what we can get done in 2012.”

The CEO held onto his prediction for double-digit ear nings growth for the company, whose products range from jet engines to light bulbs, despite some areas of concern. Revenue in the energy infrastructure division, GE’s biggest, rose 19 percent, but its profit was flat. Health-care division profit was off by 5 percent.

Profit at the home and business solutions divisions, which

includes appliances, dropped 41 percent.

GE said infrastructure orders rose 15 percent in the final three months of 2011, leaving it with its biggest-ever order backlog of $200 billion. In a note to clients, Citi analyst Deane Dray said the backlog, combined with a 23 percent increase in equipment orders in the quarter, sets the company up to meet the lofty double-digit

earnings growth goal.

Including discontinued businesses, profit dropped 18 percent in the fourth quarter. GE also said growth slowed in Europe, and its ongoing effort to make its GE Capital financing arm more efficient reduced revenue at the unit by 9 percent. Still, GE Capital’s profit jumped 58 percent. GE Capital is the company’s second-largest

segment.

The overall revenue decline of 8 percent reflects GE’s sale of its majority stake in NBC Universal to Comcast last year.

The transportation division was a bright spot. Revenue there grew by 43 percent. The division is the largest producer of diesel-electric locomotives in North America and also makes drive systems for wind turbines and mining trucks.

Excluding discontinued businesses and certain pension costs, earnings were 39 cents per share.

That topped analysts’ forecast of 38 cents, based on a FactSet survey. But revenue of $37.98 billion fell below Wall Street’s $40.05 billion estimate.

For all of 2011, the company earned $14.15 billion, or $1.23 per share, up 22 percent compared with $11.64 billion, or $1.06 per share, in 2010.

CEO Immelt said he believes strong orders and margins rebounding from some sluggishness last year will drive the company’s earnings in 2012. Improving results in commercial real estate should help as well, he said.

GE is expecting double-digit growth in both its wide-ranging industrial unit and its capital arm.

deadline Jan. 30

ALBUQUERQUE — The United States Department of Agriculture New Mexico Farm Service Agency’s Acting State Executive Director, Brenda Archuleta, wants to remind New Mexico livestock producers they have until Jan. 30 to submit an application(s) for payment under the 2012 Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-raised Fish Program, or for Livestock Forage Program.

ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock grazing, honeybees and farm-raised fish who have losses due to disease, adverse weather or other conditions, including losses due to blizzards and wildfires. ELAP assistance is for losses not covered under other disaster assistance programs established by the 2008 Farm Bill. FSA is authorized to spend up to $50 million per year nationwide to provide emergency relief for ELAP eligible losses.

LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered livestock grazing losses due to qualifying drought or fire.

Fire losses apply only to federally managed rangeland. Eligible livestock under this program includes beef cattle, alpacas, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep and swine.

Producers who feel they have suffered a qualifying loss are encouraged to file an application for the 2011 ELAP or LFP. Please contact your local County FSA Office for more information or visit our website, fsa.usda.gov/nm.

Senators ask to raise bar for Wyoming hydraulic fracturing study review

CHEYENNE, Wyoming. (AP) — Ten Republican senators have asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to subject a draft r eport that theorizes a link between hydraulic fracturing and groundwater pollution in a Wyoming gas field to a more rigorous level of scientific review than currently planned.

The senators include James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Inhofe is ranking Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, and Murkowski the ranking Republican on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

They sent the request involving groundwater pollution in the tiny Wyoming community of Pavillion to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in a letter Friday.

“I hope that after receiving this letter, Administrator Jackson will agree to our reasonable

request. If she does not, the Pavillion study can have no credibility,” Inhofe said in a news release.

While the EPA hasn’t classified the report as the senators have requested, the report will undergo the same level of review they are seeking, EPA spokesman Rich Mylott said.

“This includes ensuring the expertise, balance, conflict of interest and independence of the reviewers; transparency; and public involvement,” Mylott said.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a petroleum industry practice that uses pressurized water, sand and chemicals to fracture rock inside oil and gas wells. The draft EPA report released Dec. 8 theorized that industry activity including fracking may have caused groundwater contamination in two test wells drilled in Pavil-

lion.

The draft report is set to undergo a 30-day peer review process following a public comment period. The public comment period had been set to run through Jan. 27; the EPA this week extended it through March 12.

A l s o t h i s w e e k , t h e E PA opened the process in which people can nominate experts to serve on the scientific peer review panel for the report.

The 10 senators want the report classified as a “highly influential scientific assessment” that would require more rigorous peer review standards.

The process would need to be opened to public involvement, for example, and EPA employees would not be allowed to serve on the peer review panel.

Peer reviewers also would need to be given access to key studies, data and models relat-

ed to the draft report.

A scientific report may be considered “highly influential” if it could have a public or private sector impact of more than $500 million a year, according to a 2004 Office of Management and Budget memo linked from the EPA website.

A report that is “novel, controversial, or precedent-setting, or has significant interagency interest” also can require the more rigorous standard.

The senators’ request seems reasonable and in line with the position of the Wyoming state government that adequate testing, data and review is needed before the peer review process, Gov. Matt Mead said Friday.

“In the meantime, I will continue to work with the citizens outside of Pavillion trying to find a safe and reliable water supply,” he said.

The Powder River Basin

Resource Council, which has been representing Pavillion resi d e n t s w i t h p o l l u t e d w a t e r, remains primarily concer ned about their health and wellbeing, said organizer Deb Thomas.

“The economy is important, but we cannot allow our water, air and health to be destroyed for a buck,” Thomas said.

The major operator in the Pavillion gas field, Calgaryb a s e d Encana Corp., made a similar request for a “highly influential scientific assessment” in a letter to Jackson on Jan. 10.

Encana has not yet received a response, according to company spokesman Doug Hock.

Sens. Mike Crapo of Idaho, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, John Boozman of Arkansas, John Cornyn of Texas, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Marco Rubio of Florida, Pat Roberts of Kansas, and Roger Wicker of Mississippi also signed the letter.
