New Mexico’s distinct sky helped an artist create the top art piece in the Roswell Fine Arts League & Miniature Arts Society’s 28th annual International Juried Art Show, taking place through Aug. 28 at the Roswell Museum and Art Center.

The show features works in miniature, 2-D, 3-D and photography/ digital.

It was an oil painting, “Sunset Vista,” by Roswell artist Barbara Rizzo that won Best in Show. The large painting features a desert, with most of the canvas dedicated to a vast expansion of sky. Echoing Claude Monet’s “Vanilla Sky,” the scene would appear familiar to those living in New Mexico—soft white clouds that seem to roll upward as they reflect

Tour de Ocho Millas at Bottomless Lakes set for Sept. 17 VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Cyclists near and far will soon have a chance to enjoy their hobby and raise funds for a noble cause, all while enjoying one of the most picturesque areas in Southeastern New Mexico.

The inaugural Tour de Ocho Millas is scheduled to take place at Bottomless Lakes State Park Sept.

17 at 8 a.m. The tour will be on Las Ocho Millas racing circuit at the park. As the name suggests in Spanish, it is an eight-mile loop.

See SHOOTING, Page A3

There is no age limit to enter the cycling tour, and the $35 registration fee includes a water bottle and a T-shirt. The family-oriented event will include music, food, and rewards.

The Tour de Ocho Millas is the brainchild of two local cyclists, Perry Toles and Lendell Nolan.

“We decided we wanted to do a (cycling tour) here to help raise funds for a local ministry,” said Nolan, who rallied fellow cyclists at Starbucks on Saturday to discuss the upcoming event. The tour will benefit Reflections & Recovery Min-

istries, an initiative that helps those with addictions recover.

Lorual Peschka, founder of Reflections & Recovery, was present to let the small, yet eager, crowd know how the funds would be used.

“We hope soon to have a home where people can live,” she said.

Nolan said the goal is to raise $20,000 for Reflections & Recovery. He said that although fundraising is not required, “we are encouraging people.” He said those who raise $50 will receive a custom cycling hat. Those who raise $125

will be rewarded with a fleece vest.

Those who raise $250 will get a custom jersey.

Nolan said cyclists can do Las Ocho Millas loop up to eight times, but they must begin their last loop before noon. He said he is hoping to have more than 100 cyclists participate and to have the tour again next year.

Dragonfly Festival Sept. 10 Iran sentences 2 American men to 8 years in prison

course, a presentation on dragonflies.

A photography workshop that centers on capturing the natural beauty of the dragonfly will take place Sept. 10 and Sept. 11, and requires a $20 fee.

The dragonfly population at Bitter Lake NWR is so varied and abundant because the natural offerings of the refuge have everything dragonflies and damselflies could ask for.

A damselfly is very similar and often mistaken for a dragonfly. The main differences are that damselflies have wings of equal size, and their wings come closer to their body when not in flight.

Alvarez said dragonflies and damselflies are attracted to water — and the refuge offers different types of water habitats, which appeals to different types of dragonflies and damselflies.

These water habitats include man-made marshes, the Pecos River, fresh water springs, more than 70 sinkholes and of course,

Bitter Lake.

Alvarez estimated there are about 50 species each of dragonflies and damselflies at the refuge. However, he cautioned that the refuge is a lot more than pretty, flying insects. The refuge has a variety of endangered and threatened species, including the Pecos puzzle sunflower, the interior least ter n, the Pecos bluntnose shiner, Noel’s amphipod, and the Roswell springsnail. Bitter Lake NWR also attracts more than 350 species of birds. Thanks to all of these wonders, Alvarez said Bitter Lake NWR has received inter national recognition.

“This is a special place, (and it is) just next door,” he said.

Developer pleads guilty to bank fraud ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — An Albuquerque real estate developer faces up to three years in prison after pleading guilty to bank fraud.

Prosecutors say 59-year-old Vincent J. Garcia entered his plea Friday in U.S. District Court.

He was the developer behind the failed Anasazi Downtown construction project.

Work was halted in 2008 when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. seized the bank financing the project.

Prosecutors say Garcia admitted fraud in the amount of $365,677, but also admitted that the gross loss to victims of his fraudulent activity was $842,237.

Garcia’s sentencing date has yet to be set.

His 35-year-old son David Garcia also was named in a federal indictment, but prosecutors plan to drop the charges. Vincent Garcia says his son didn’t engage in any criminal conduct and was unaware of his father’s actions.

U.S. hikers Shane Bauer, left, and Josh Fattal, attend their trial at the Tehran Revolutionary Court, Feb. 6.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Two American men arrested more than two years ago while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border have been sentenced to eight years in prison on charges that include espionage, state TV reported Saturday, a sharp blow to hopes their release was imminent.

The announcement seemed to send a hard-line message from Iran’s judiciary — which answers directly to the ruling clerics — weeks after the country’s foreign minister suggested that the trial of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal could clear the way for their freedom.

It also was likely to raise speculation about Iran using the Americans as political bargaining chips and could bring added tensions to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s expected visit to New York next month for the annual General Assembly at the United Nations.

Authorities did not immediately confirm the report and made no further comment — although it was carried on Iran’s highly controlled state media, which is frequently used to make highprofile announcements.

In Washington, State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland restated U.S. appeals for their release. “It is time to reunite them with their families,” she said.

A spokeswoman for the men’s relatives said only that the families were aware of the report and awaiting confirmation.

The Americans, whose final court hearing was three weeks ago, deny the charges and say they were only hiking in a scenic and largely peaceful area of northern Iraq near the porous border.

They were detained in July 2009 along with a third American, Sarah

Shourd, who was released in September 2010 on $500,000 bail and returned to the United States. Shourd’s case “is still open,” the state-run TV website irinn.ir reported.

Bauer and Fattal, both 29, have been sentenced to three years each for illegal entry into Iran and five years each for spying for the United States, the website quoted “informed sources” at Iran’s judiciary as saying. It was not immediately clear if that includes time served. They have 20 days to appeal the sentence.

Their Iranian attor ney, Masoud Shafiei, said he has not been notified of the verdict but he will definitely appeal the sentence if true.

It’s unclear what maximum sentence was possible by the Revolutionary Court, which handles state security issues. Espionage can bring the death penalty, but handing the sentence to a foreigner is unknown legal territory in Iran.

Iran insists that its judiciary is independent from political currents, but Iranian officials have used the detained Americans to draw attention to alleged mistreatment of Iranians in U.S. prisons and others who were held by U.S. forces in Iraq. The report on the sentences came just two days after President Barack Obama made his most direct call for the resignation of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who remains among Iran’s closest Mideast allies.

The case, meanwhile, has added to tensions between the United States and Iran that were already high over other issues, including Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

But Iran also recognizes the potential for goodwill gestures. Shourd’s release — assisting with talks by Oman — came last year as Ahmadinejad was preparing for the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders.

The Americans say they mistakenly crossed into Iran when they stepped off a dirt road while hiking near a waterfall in the Kurdish region of Iraq. While other parts of Iraq remain troubled by violence, the semiautonomous Kurdish north has drawn tourists in recent years, including foreigners.

The U.S. government has appealed for the two men to be released, insisting that they have done nothing wrong. The two countries have no direct diplomatic relations, so Washington has been relying on an interests section at the Swiss Embassy in Tehran to follow the case.

Shourd is back living in Oakland, California; Bauer grew up in Onamia, Minnesota; and Fattal is from suburban Philadelphia. The last direct contact family members had with Bauer and Fattal was in May 2010 when their mothers were permitted a short visit in Tehran.

The 10th annual Dragonfly Festival at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge will deliver a sweet deal to the nature lover: an opportunity to get an up close and personal experience with nature, free of cost.

The Dragonfly Festival is scheduled for Sept. 10, although some tours may be available Sept. 11.

“The bulk of the event is on Saturday (Sept. 10)” said Steve Alvarez, outdoor recreation planner and coordinator for the festival.

He said the free festival tours, which will take place all day Sept. 10, have limited space. Reservations are required for all tours.

“Those interested need to make reservations as soon as possible, because they do fill up quickly,” Alvarez said.

There are different tours to choose from, including special tours such as the early bird tour, which begins at 6:30 a.m.; the refuge management tour; dragonfly tours and refuge discovery tours.

The tours allow visitors to see sections of the refuge that those unaffiliated with the refuge rarely get to see.

The refuge does not typically of fer tours, with the exception of the Dragonfly Festival tours and the Discovery Tour, held the first Saturday of every month, from October through May. At the auditorium, vistitors may enjoy presentations on a variety of subjects, such as the Gila monster, the Mexican wolf recovery plan, and of

Vega spoke in his own defense, saying he had no recollection of killing his son and his son’s girlfriend.

He stated that when he saw the muzzle of guns, he thought they were drug dealers. The shots he fired at the police had been warning shots, and he said he had only vague recall of subsequent events.

In closing arguments, Assistant District Attorney Michael Murphy told the jurors the police had acted commendably. They arrived at the scene within minutes of the report. He noted that the recording of the inci-

dent lasted 12 minutes, starting with the arrival of police at the scene, the announcement of police presence and weapons fire which also only lasted a few minutes before Vega was wounded. He commented there was no time to call SWAT to the scene as Cosby had suggested.

In his closing arguments, Cosby urged the jury to consider Vega’s diminished capacity at the time of the incident, as diagnosed by forensic psychologist Samuel Roll. He referred to the defendant’s desperation in wanting to evict his son

Previously, the dress code also applied for the basement and third floor of the courthouse, but county commissioners rescinded the dress code for those floors in early July 2009 when Barry Haight, of Roswell, threatened to file a lawsuit after he was turned away for wearing an untucked shirt.

On Thursday, county commissioners urged Coon and his deputies, who enforce the dress code at the only public entrance to the courthouse on the second floor, to use common sense before forcing illdressed visitors to egress.

“Something’s gotta happen,” Commission chairman Greg Nibert told the sherif f during a County Commission meeting, pointing to a letter of complaint dated Aug. 16 from public defender Ted Laut-

enschlager, who asked for clarification on the dress code policy after witnessing a young woman being denied access to the building for wearing shorts. “It’s a public building, we’ve got a museum in there, and we told the Historical Society we’d keep the historic rotunda open to the public.

We have people wanting to go in there to see some of that stuff. It has nothing to do with the court functions, and yet they’re being turned away at the door.”

Nibert emphasized that he was not trying to interfere with the court’s business.

“I have never wanted to interfere with the District Court judges’ role in maintaining the dignity of their courtrooms. That's not what we’re talking about,” Nibert continued. “The problem is we have multifunctions that are going on

in that building ... In my opinion, it’s not our job to deny them access to a public building ... The public owns the building.”

Coon said his office is frequently tor n between contradictory requests from the judges, the commissioners and 5th Judicial District Attorney Janetta Hicks. Coon flirted with the idea of abolishing the dress code altogether.

“We’re trying to serve two masters,” Coon told the commissioners. “We’ve got District judges beating us up for letting these people in, and then we have the commission saying slack off, let them in. ... We’re so tor n between what the judges want, what the commission wants, what Janetta Hicks wants, so I think probably what we’re going to do is just open the doors.”

Hicks added that judges have the right to ensure the integrity of their courtrooms, but that dress code is not the same standard for those witnesses and victims who need to access her office.

Expect redistricting session fireworks A4 Sunday, August 21, 2011

OPINION

SANTA FE — New Mexico’s 2011 legislative redistricting of state political boundaries promises to be unique in terms of timing, content and politics.

September special sessions are not unusual in New Mexico but a special session beginning this early in the month is rare.

Redistricting special sessions normally are confined to that topic plus a few non-controversial items of a truly emergency nature. Not so this year.

Until 10 years ago, New Mexico’s decennial redistricting sessions were fairly devoid of politics. The 2001 session shows us what likely will happen this year.

September special sessions are popular. They don’t disrupt summer vacations and Santa Fe tourist traffic has subsided. But this session, called by Gov. Susana Martinez for Sept. 6, comes before Santa Fe has finished its summer activities.

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Santa Fe’s 299th annual Fiesta activities start Saturday, Sept. 3, the beginning of the Labor Day weekend. They continue for nine days, ending on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Hotels still are full. Streets are packed. And even though the Capitol is several blocks south of the Plaza, it still will be impacted.

Lawmakers requested a Sept. 12 start but it is the governor’s decision to make.

So far, Gov. Martinez has not been sensitive to local conflicts.

Asked to pick a date for an important event earlier in the summer, Martinez chose three possibilities.

They were the dates of Spanish

Market, Indian Market and the International Folk Art Market.

Had it been the Whole Enchilada Fiesta, she might have seen a problem. Typically, Republican governors seldom have had much love for Santa Fe. They don’t get to know it ahead of time because there aren’t many votes here although there is Republican money.

But lawmakers can work around the inconvenience. It will be their staff who will be most affected.

Many of them have Fiesta responsibilities.

This redistricting session will be full of content. The extra items the governor has been adding to the session have been getting more discussion than redistricting itself.

The big item is taking driver’s licenses from illegal aliens. Gov. Martinez promised that would be on the agenda as soon as it was defeated in the regular session.

Animosities over that issue could

color decisions on redistricting.

Allowing statewide restrictions on fireworks became an issue in early July when fires were raging around the state. This could wait until next January’s regular session. It won’t be uncontroversial.

We have fireworks manufacturers in the state and they are friendly with our lawmakers A capital outlay bill died during a session-ending filibuster. It means many jobs. This is the type of bill that usually gets added to a special session.

Among other bills the governor is likely to add to the special session are food stamps, in-state preferences for procurement, an unemployment tax adjustment, and a high-wage tax credit for employers.

The politics of redistricting will be cranked up just as it was 10 years ago when Republican Gary Johnson faced off with a Democratic Legislature.

Bruce King had been governor during New Mexico’s previous three redistricting sessions. He had Democratic legislatures all three times but he told the Democratic leaders to cool it on any punitive changes they might have been plotting.

But this year, as in 2001, the shackles are off and anything is fair. If Democrats go too far, Gov. Martinez can veto anything she wants, just as Johnson did 10 years ago. That would leave the state Supreme Court to decide as it did in 2001. And that decision again is likely to be a “least change” one.

In 2001, Gov. Johnson began the session during Fiesta week and it went 17 days at a cost of $700,000. Don’t expect anything better this time.

U.K. riots

With 4,200 air miles between St. Louis and London, the riots that racked Great Britain last week would seem to be a distant curiosity. For all the similarities between Americans and our British cousins, we are different nations.

And, yet, there are distressing similarities between social conditions here and there.

Both nations have a huge underclass. Both have vast and growing gaps in income equality. Both are experiencing shrinking economic opportunity. Both are trying to come to grips with growing national debt. Both are trying to assimilate many cultures into one, or at least grow comfortable with a multicultural society.

In all of these factors are the seeds of social unrest. And, it must be said, in both nations people often define themselves by the toys they can acquire.

These are potentially mitigating factors, but, it must be said, both nations are well supplied with low-lifes with no discernible moral compass. Many of Britain’s thugs have an added dimension of a quasi-political anarchistic streak; they will raise hell just to raise hell, and if in the process they can steal a 46inch plasma TV, so much the better.

So — could it happen here?

America would be foolish to think it could not. Indeed, fueled by racial animus, it was common in the late 1960s.

The riots that began in London’s Tottenham district a week ago Saturday apparently were sparked by the police shooting of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old black man.

Though it had a racial spark, the riots quickly became multicultural and mindless, spreading across London and then to other English cities. Police were slow off the mark, but by mid-week appeared to have gained control.

The reaction to the riots was at once instructive and predictable. Hustling home from his holiday in Tuscany came Prime Minister David Cameron, architect of his nation’s austerity program, to say, “This is criminality pure and simple, and it has to be confronted and defeated.”

From the left came columnists like Seumas Milne of The Guardian to ask, “If this week’s eruption is an expression of pure criminality and has nothing to do with police harassment or youth unemployment or rampant inequality or deepening economic crisis, why is it happening now and not a decade ago?”

Indeed, criminality doesn’t grow in a vacuum. Last year Great Britain’s education department reported that 15.6 percent of the nation’s 16- to 24-year-olds were “NEETs,” for Not in Employment, Education or Training. That translates to 938,000.

Many of them scraped through school or dropped out, have no training and no real hopes, and maybe no intention, of getting a job in a country that has lost its manufacturing base and where the unemployment rate is 7.7 percent. The situation is identical in the United States, except the numbers are worse.

It may be that what happened in Britain last week is a “one-off,” as the Brits say, a one-time event that won’t be repeated or replicated elsewhere. But our cousins would be foolish to assume that. So would we.

As defined by Collins English Dictionary, a bigot is “a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, especially on religion, politics, or race.”

In contemporary culture, those who claim to tolerate everything are intolerant of ideas that come from perspectives other than their own, especially when those ideas are rooted in conservative politics or evangelical faith.

blood. This isn’t true. Rather, these drugs are anticoagulants, meaning they cause the blood to be less “sticky,” making it harder for clots to form.

The blood remains the same thickness and the amount of blood in the body remains the same. By failing to make the distinction, misconceptions such as this become commonplace.

Coumadin and other anticoagulant drugs being called “blood thinners” is somewhat of a pet peeve of mine, especially when physicians, trained to know better, do so.

The illustration by Victor Juhasz, which accompanies it, reveals where the writer is headed. Michele Bachmann is dressed as Joan of Arc with a Bible in one hand, a bloody sword in the other, a cross on her chest, and the “finger of God” pointing at her from heaven. In the background, people are being burned at the stake. Father Charles Coughlin at his worst would have had trouble topping this on his bigoted radio broadcasts in the 1930s.

Vote for school bond

Dear Editor: I want to encourage all Roswell citizens to vote for the upcoming School Bond Issue, Aug. 30, 2011. As announced, the precincts have been consolidated to save money so please check your voting place.

Superintendent Mike Gottlieb and the Roswell School Board, past and present, are to be congratulated for their foresight and planning to bring our school buildings up to standard and provide safe and comfortable classrooms for our students.

The 10-year plan to build and remodel our schools calls for a continuation of bond funding. As a bond is paid off, a new bond is initiated to provide the necessary funding for the continuation of building and remodeling. This plan allows the tax rate to remain the same.

Ms. Hatcher raises a valid point in her letter to the editor, published Aug. 13, stating that taxes would go down if the

feast. This is the argument of anyone who has little or no faith in God. They attack people who believe the Supreme Being does not sit in the Oval Office.

The secular left is also going after Rick Perry’s faith. Writing in The New York Times, Timothy Egan refers to the Texas governor as a “biblical bully” and asks, if “God is ignoring Rick Perry?”

Ideas that come from the minds of secular liberals are considered right and good, no matter their track record. Ideas from conservatives, be they secular or especially evangelical, are “... crazy,” according to Taibbi.

There is a way to blunt this coming tidal wave of anti-evangelical bigotry.

Bachmann and Perry — and any other Republican who wishes to join in — should not play on the territory of their opponents. Instead, they should focus on what works and whose lives have been transformed by embracing similar faith and similar attitudes.

Each time a liberal wants to raise taxes to pay for more programs, Republican candidates should introduce to the public, people who liberated themselves from government, as examples for others to follow.

bond election fails. This is true. However, I would point out that the plan is working and affordable. Roswell has expressed its confidence and support by passing the previous bond elections. This allows the taxes to remain the same. No increase in taxes.

The real benefit to the current plan is that the state of New Mexico pays 72 percent of the state approved projects. This helps leverage our local tax dollars with funding available from the state of New Mexico. The new elementary school, Missouri Avenue, is the first new school built since Goddard High School in 1965.

RISD has been very conservative and good stewards of our tax dollars.

I urge all Roswellites to vote for this important bond issue on Aug. 30. If you wish, you can vote early at the Chaves County Administration Building known as the Joseph Skeen Building.

Sincerely, Steve Henderson Roswell decided they can do more for themselves than government.

In the tradition of Horatio Alger, a story about people who have overcome is better than a story about those still wallowing in self-pity, low expectations and welfare dependency. A positive message beats whining and class envy every time.

Growing numbers of people are addicted to government and need help getting “clean.” Bachmann and Perry could respond to the bigotry by announcing a joint project to be continued no matter who wins the nomination and election. People who want to escape poverty would be introduced to local churches and synagogues, or secular organizations that operate on similar principles.

Scriptures command outreach to the poor, which most religious institutions used to do a lot more of before many ceded that role to government. Helping to transform a life is one of the greatest pleasures on Earth.

The bigots, like the poor, will be with us always, but this is one way they might be shamed into silence.

OPINION III

If you were sitting at home by your fireplace and your young child or grandchild came and sat on your knee and asked you “What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?” How would you answer this question? Is your greatest accomplishment easy to recite or is something you need to think through?

For some of you this question might be easy. You might quickly state number one and then rattle off five or 10 significant accomplishments right behind it without much effort. Others may be frozen initially as you think through what single accomplishment would top the list.

Either way let me congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Most every one of you have made a positive impact with actions you have taken in the past. Good job!

What if your young child or grandchild sat on your knee and asked you “What has been the greatest failure of your life?” Is it something you would really want to share? Is there a single event that jumps out to you or is this something that has several events that would compete for number one? Maybe you don’t want to even think about this question.

Let me swing this analysis from the past to the future. Let’s close the door on the past. I really mean it. Other than learning from the The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Ingenuity greets you early this morning. With this extra gift in your pocket, your confidence is enhanced. You know you can handle whatever you come across. News could test this innate resourcefulness.

None of us can change one minute of the past, yet many of us live in the past.

There are people out there who have a single great accomplishment and who don’t let go of the trophy they received. I’ll call these people “trophy people.” They continually talk about something good that happened in their past always making sure that whoever they are talking with knows they are someone special because of the trophy event or events.

There are people out there who have had a terrible event or events that have happened to them. The event may be the result of actions beyond their control or it may be a direct result of the person’s making bad choices.

Regardless, it is something that causes the person to focus backward on negative activity in their past, sometimes daily. I call these

Trophy people fail to accomplish things that should be accomplished because they are living in their past. Damaged people fail to accomplish things that should be accomplished because they are living in their past. The truth be told, each of us from time to time fall into both of these categories. It is interesting how our past can rob us of our future if we let it.

Let me explain to you the “24hour rule.” It is a concept that recognizes positive and negatives occurring in our lives and the need to move forward. When something great happens in your world, receive the trophy and hold it up high and celebrate. In most instances you deserve the reward.

But 24 hours later put the trophy on the shelf and get back to moving forward on what needs to be accomplished. You can still visit the trophy for sentimental reasons, but by all means don’t carry it around with you.

When something terrible happens to you, accept the depression or mourning that results. Accept it for 24 hours, then set it aside and get on with your life. The important part of this advice is setting it aside. Why would you want to carry the event around with you day to day? You may want to visit the negative event from time to

Tonight: Do exactly what you want. You will anyway.

Realize not acting is a decision in itself. Do you want to toss away your power like that?

Tonight: Do some quiet reflecting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Meetings, networking and perhaps a fun late lunch could make this day one you smile about for a while. Remember, don’t mix business with pleasure. It is a discreet but important line. Keep reaching out for someone. Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone makes a strong impression on you. The issue might lie in the fact that you must respond to this person. You could be re-evaluating your interaction. Follow through on what you must. Tonight: Could be late.

time to learn from it, but don’t let it hinder you from accomplishing what needs to be done in your life.

What I am saying is it is all right to fully experience the highs and lows of life. God made each of us with emotions. He put us into a world that is far from perfect next to others who are experiencing ups and downs in their lives also.

Each of us has a history. Each of us is on a different spot on our path of life than those around us.

Each of us have things that need to be accomplished by us, things that only we can accomplish. We can’t change where we are on the our path today, but we will determine where we will be on the path tomorrow. Our yesterdays are gone, our tomorrows remain.

Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, “I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” I agree! Where you stand is your history, where you are moving is what you are planning on doing with your life. Your history may put you in a position to make a greater impact on the future, but it remains written chapters that are unchangeable.

A more important question for a young child or grandchild to ask would be, “What will be your greatest accomplishment in the years ahead?” There will be a greatest accomplishment ahead

Use any means to fix government

Dear Editor: In his letter to you of Aug. 12, Dan Gage asked that we stop electing politicians who say they will “fight” for us, in favor of those who will “compromise” for us. I want our elected officials to represent us honorably, and use every means necessary to do it.

Our country has real problems that must be corrected. These problems did not come on us overnight but they have gotten to the point that they must be fixed, and right now! We have a president who day-in and day-out tells us the problems can be fixed, but the Republicans must stop fighting him when he wants to tax businesses more.

That is just a way of hiding the fact that he wants to tax the citizens more. Businesses pass the tax along to the consumer in the form of higher prices for their goods

for each of us.

My challenge to you today is to not be a trophy person or a damaged person, but to take where you are on the path of life and, with the God-given gifts and talents you have, to make a difference with your life going forward.

Trophy people are hung up on themselves. Damaged people are hung up on themselves.

The best way to live in the present for the future is to reach out and do things for others. Get your focus off you and put your focus on others. What we receive dies with us, what we give lives on long after we are gone. Don’t rest on the good things you have done.

Don’t beat yourself up for the bad things.

What should be most important in your life is not what you did yesterday, but what you will be doing today and tomorrow. Throw away the rear view mirror. If you are still breathing then you still have the gift of life and there is more for you to do. Each day is precious.

We have a House and Senate that have run amuck, spending more money than we have, for so long their idea of cutting back is to only raise the debt limit in small increments.

More back-to-school safety, too much is never enough Roswell Daily Record

A few weeks ago I ran a column having to do with safety now that school has begun again. I never tire of this topic, because I think it is so very important.

This column today is more of the same, but with a few helpful safety hints different from those of the previous column.

If your kids will be walking to school, or have to walk a few blocks to a bus stop, make sure you teach them to obey traffic signals and rules if they must cross streets with lights and crosswalks. Many times, I see moms or dads walking their children to the school near my home.

Younger children need that closer supervision, and what a great time it is to start teaching good habits.

Maybe you can get the child to tell the adult when it is safe to go, when you must stop, and countless other street signs which we take for granted. By the time they walk by themselves to school or the bus stop, they will be confident in their ability to know what to do, and so will you.

Have a relative, trusted neighbor or family friend designated to be the person who will pick your child up or meet them at the bus stop if you can't be there.

When kids are using the computer and the Internet for homework and school projects, monitor their time spent, and the websites they've visited. Use the parental controls on your system when available.

There are some great programs out there that can help keep your kids away from questionable sites, and out of potentially unsuitable chat rooms or message boards.

School can, and should, be fun and exciting for kids. They get to see their friends every day, lear n new things, and spend time outside playing sports or other recreational activities as part of their school day.

But there are dangers, some bigger than others, that exist for children at school, on their way to or from school, and at afterschool activities. Ar med with some knowledge and some planning, parents and children can be aware of the dangers and therefore be more prepared to avoid them, or deal with them as they happen.

Give your kids the tools,

more than needed so that they can offer a “sale” on the higher price. But the new strategies come as merchants’ production and labor costs are expected to rise 10 percent to 20 percent in the second half of the year after having remained low during most of the past two decades.

Costs can quickly add up: Raw materials account for 25 percent to 50 percent of the cost of producing a garment, while labor ranges from 20 percent to 40 percent, analysts estimate.

dise. Because of their concer n that shoppers will retreat, though, retailers are treading the line between style, quality and price.

Some merchants are making inexpensive tweaks, additional stitching, fake button holes, fancy tags, to justify price increases. Those embellishments can add pennies to $1 to the cost of a garment, but retailers can charge $10 more for them, said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group.

After the price of the fabric for its girl’s corduroy pants almost doubled, catalog retailer Lands’ End, based in Dodgeville, Wis., raised the price of the pants by $7 to $34.50. The company, a unit of Sears Holdings Corp., also added buttons and stitching on the pockets to dress them up.

Higher prices: the big trend for back-to-school

NEW YORK — Stores are trying everything they can think of to disguise the fact that you’re going to pay more for clothes this fall.

Some are using less fabric and calling it the new look. Others are adding cheap stitching and trumpeting it as a redesign. And the buttons on that blouse?

Chances are you’re not going to think it’s worth paying several dollars more for the shirt just to have them.

Retailers are raising prices on merchandise an average of 10 percent across-the-board this fall in an effort to offset their rising costs for materials and labor. But merchants are worried that cash-strapped customers who are weighed down by economic woes will balk at price hikes. So, retailers are trying to raise prices without tipping off unsuspecting customers.

Retailers have long tried to mask price hikes — for instance, jacking them up

Stores already have passed along their rising costs to customers by raising prices on select items.

The core Consumer Price Index, which includes spending on everything except food and energy, rose 0.2 percent in July, the Labor Department said Thursday. But now that production costs are going up even higher, merchants are increasing prices on a broader range of merchan-

bie & Fitch is advertising “Redesigned 2012” jean collection in its stores and on its website, touting that the jeans are “softer, with the perfect amount of stretch.”

They’re also mostly priced between $78 and $88, about $10 more than last year, according to Jennifer Black, who heads up research fir m Jennifer Black & Associates.

Sozzi, the Wall Street Strategies retail analyst, examined the jeans and believes they are “thinner” and of “cheaper quality.”

That extra stretch, he says, simply could mean the retailer is saving costs by using less denim.

Eric Cerny, an Abercrombie & Fitch spokesman, declined to comment. But Cerny reiterated what executives told investors in recent months: the bulk of increases on items will start to happen in September and the chain will not sacrifice quality to achieve cost reductions.

Lady Coyotes down Goddard, 2-1 Roswell Daily Record

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ARTESIA — In a see-saw battle that was a typical Goddard-Roswell matchup, the Coyotes got the final boost to pick up their first win of the season, 2-1, on Saturday at the Lady Bulldog Invitational.

Entering the game, both teams had dropped their

first two games at the tournament, but both Goddard coach Betty Elizondo and Roswell coach Samantha Lawrence said that the matchup was going to be a good measuring stick for both of their teams, and what the stick proved was that both teams are about as even as possible.

Both teams had a yellow card. Both teams had a

In the first half, both teams had numerous chances to score, but couldn't capitalize.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS BOOMER SOONER! OKLAHOMA NO. 1 IN FIRST AP POLL

NEW YORK (AP) — Being voted preseason No. 1 is a tradition at Oklahoma, and this season is no different.

The Sooners will start out top-ranked in The Associated Press college football poll for the 10th time, more than any program in the country.

The defending Big 12 champions received 36 of 60 first-place votes and 1,464 points in the Top 25 released Saturday.

Auburn, last season’s national champion, will start the season No. 23, one spot behind where it began in 2010.

If the rankings are any indication, the national title race could be a scramble.

No. 2 Alabama, one of a record eight Southeastern Conference teams in the preseason poll, wasn’t far behind OU, receiving 17 first-place votes and 1,439 points.

No. 3 Oregon got four first-place votes, No. 4 LSU received one and No. 5 Boise State got two.

Florida State was No. 6, the Seminoles’ best preseason ranking since starting the 2004 season at No. 5.

Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck and Stanford were No. 7, matching the best preseason ranking for the Cardinal since 1950, the year of the first AP preseason poll.

Rounding out the top 10 are Oklahoma’s Big 12 rivals, Texas A&M (No. 8) and Oklahoma State (No. 9), and Nebraska (No. 10), in its first season in the Big Ten after leaving the Big 12.

No. 16 Notre Dame is ranked for the first time since early November 2009.

but she couldn’t put it on the frame and it sailed harmlessly wide of the goal.

The Rockets’ best chance to find the back of the net came in the 30th minute when Bolduc was awarded a penalty kick, but her shot went over the crossbar.

Elizondo said that she thought the missed opportunities were due to the extra adrenaline from the game against their rivals.

“I think it’s just like the typical rivalry,” she said.

“They are both going hard

and playing hard and they just want to get that goal.

They just get nervous and shoot it over or wide.”

Roswell also failed to score when Melissa Arreola couldn’t control a cross and Jesse Jennings’ shot of f of the rebound went wide.

The Rockets drew first blood on a free kick seconds before the first half ended.

Aztec hands Roswell 6-0 defeat at tourney

See RIVALRY, Page B2

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

ARTESIA — The Roswell girls soccer team lost to Hobbs 6-0 on Friday night at the Lady Bulldog Invitational.

On Saturday, the Coyotes fell to Aztec by the same 6-0 score.

To anyone who saw just the final scores of those two games, the assumption would be that the games were similar.

They would be wrong because the only similarity between the two games was the score. Against the Lady Eagles, Roswell coach Samantha Lawrence said that her team didn’t come ready to play. Against the Tigers, whom Lawrence called one of the strongest teams in the tournament, the Coyotes trailed 1-0 through the first 52 minutes of the game.

Lawrence said that on Friday she told her team they could play better and they showed it against Aztec.

“Well, (Friday) they knew they didn’t play to their best ability,” she said. “(Friday night) we brought the team home and we told them that they can play better. They can beat anyone and I think that we showed that in the first half. We had a few injuries today and, unfortunately, in the second half, we broke down. We just have to play a full 90 minutes and we can beat anybody.”

Aztec’s first goal came in the 15th minute, but the lead could have been more if it wasn’t for a nifty save by See ROSWELL, Page B2

Orton leads Broncos past Bills

Roswell’s Jesse Jennings (1) dribbles between a pair of Aztec defenders during the Lady Coyotes’ 6-0 loss to the Tigers at the Lady Bulldog invitational in Artesia, Saturday.

DENVER (AP) — Brady Quinn leapfrogged T im Tebow, at least for one night.

Kyle Orton, who has rendered the quarterback drama in Denver a question of who will be his backup, led the Broncos on two touchdown drives in a 2410 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night.

Quinn had a mostly solid performance, throwing a touchdown pass but also an interception, and Tebow had a sack and a big scramble in cleanup duty.

White moved his left hand as he was taken up the tunnel, then was taken via ambulance to a hospital. There was no immediate word on his condition.

Haggan later went to the locker room with an injured right shoulder and didn’t return.

After Orton completed 10 of 13 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown, Quinn came in and had an upand-down per for mance with the second-stringers, completing 10 of 16 passes for 130 yards, one TD and

one interception in the end zone just before halftime.

Tebow was 1 for 2 for 10 yards with a sack. He ran once for 7 yards.

Orton’s sharpness was in stark contrast to his 2-for6 performance that led to a field goal in the starters’ only series last week at Dallas.

“That was the challenge for them, to make sure we moved it better and scored more touchdowns,” said John Fox, who made his home coaching debut.

Duffer’s Corner: Talking with Jim Williams KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

In this week’s edition of “Duffer’s Corner,” I sit down with a man who is known around Roswell as one of the city’s best golfers — NMMI Golf Course member Jim Williams.

How did you get into the game?

I was playing tennis and it was hard to hit the ball across the net to myself, so I took up golf. It was something I did, and a friend of mine from work (John Franks) just started playing also. From there, I just started playing and I got the bug. It was off to the races.

How quickly did golf become a passion for you?

Immediately. Because I always just wanted to get better and, really, my progress just wasn’t fast enough. It took me about five years because I had no formal lessons from anybody, so it was just more or less what I read and what I saw from playing with other guys that were better than I was. That’s how I did it.

What is special about golf to you?

The camaraderie. The friends I’ve made. It seems like you can play with judges, play with the governor, and, out on the golf course, we’re all the same.

What keeps you coming back to the game?

I think (it’s the camaraderie).

And because it’s so hard. I just want to try to improve, but if you

don’t play enough or you don’t practice enough, you just don’t get better.

How important is putting?

I would say putting is, at least, 50 percent of the game to me.

And then the rest of it is putting your drive in the fairway. If you can get up and down, you can score and you’re going to be around par.

What is the best tip you’ve ever received?

Probably, I would say, attitude.

That would be the best tip. If you go out there and your attitude is not right, or if you have a bad hole and you don’t adjust your attitude, then you’re going to get mad and you’re not going to score well.

What is your favorite hole in Roswell?

I’d have to say No. 7 (at NMMI Golf Course) because that’s where I made my hole-in-one. That was my first hole-in-one.

What is your most memorable shot in golf?

Tips from a pro CRAE FIELDS PGA PROFESSIONAL

We are all aware that there exists a clear distinction with regard to function between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. I tend to be a proponent of the golf swing exisiting predominantly in the right hemisphere and less in the left.

The left brain turns data from the external world into language, dumps old infor-

Probably the double eagle on No. 6 (at NMMI), the week after I shot the 65. I was playing with my son and I knocked it in the hole with a driver, then a 6-iron.

There weren’t any trees (on the right), so you could cut across.

Jimmy Jones from the Institute was standing there watching as I hit it. It was pretty cool.

What is your most memorable moment in golf?

When I shot 65 in a tournament with Ron Rogers and Steve Brown, and Jim Farley was in there I think as well. It was a tournament here at the Institute.

Just the satisfaction of it, because those guys are my peers.

When I shot 65 on them, it was pretty cool. The first 65 I shot, it should have been a 64 because I came into No. 18 at 8 under. I got up there on the left side of the fairway and all I could think of was, “Don’t hit it left out of bounds.” So I blocked it behind a tree, then hit it back in the fairway and got up and down for a bogey. It could have been a 64 just as well, but it was a 65 instead. But the one with Farley

Roswell goalkeeper Mariana Flores.

In the 13th minute, an Aztec player was able to get a shot off from the right side of the box. The shot appeared to be heading for the back of the net, but Flores jumped and deflected the ball away. The deflection trickled to the left and Flores was able to jump on it before two charging Tigers could get a touch on it.

At the break, Roswell trailed 1-0 and Lawrence said that she was pleased with everything her team did in the first 40 minutes.

“In the first half, (I was pleased with) everything,” she said. “(Friday) was a day where nothing worked for us. We didn’t play as a team and we didn’t even play as individuals. Today was a lot better. We talked a lot and we connected on passes.

“We just wanted to

play today and came out a lot stronger.”

The strong play continued into the second half, but a few minutes into the second half, Roswell’s Suzette Aragon went down with an injury. After that, the Tigers poured it on.

Aztec’s second goal came in the 52nd minute and the Tigers punched it in four more times in the final 28 minutes.

Lawrence said that after the injury Roswell’s defenders didn’t play as a unit.

“Suzette Aragon, our center-defender, unfortunately, came out of the game because of a leg injury,” she said. “After that, our back line just got disoriented with each other. They just didn’t stay together. If we would have stayed in a straight line, we would have been fine, but we played as individuals instead of as one back line.”

Flores finished the game with 10 saves for Roswell. l.foster@roswell-record.com

Saavedra took the free kick from just outside the box and the ball bounced in front of the goal and snuck in the left side, putting Goddard up 1-0.

At the start of the second half, Roswell had a chance to tie the game when Tara Pogan fired a shot off a corner, but Kennedy Mann saved it, preserving the Goddard lead.

In the 57th minute, however, Roswell knotted the game thanks in part to a lineup change.

Alyssa Cox normally is a defender for the Coyotes, but Lawrence wanted to match speed with speed, so she moved the junior to forward.

“Alyssa can play anywhere on the field,” Lawrence said. “I knew that with one of their forwards, (Bolduc), was quick up top and we had to do that as well. Alyssa did great. She had no idea how to play forward and she went all out today.”

The move paid of f for Roswell when Cox took a

NMMI Golf Course member Jim Williams and them, it was just steady; I hit fairways and greens, then try to make the putt. That’s why the putting is so important. If you can get on the greens and you can make those putts at least 60 percent of the time, you’re going to be in pretty good shape.

What is your favorite part of the game?

Putting and driving for me. I love to see a long drive go out there when you just nailed it. It just feels good.

What is your least favorite part of the game?

sphere, with visualization, intuition and the containment of one’s emotions.

People who do not excel have problems that include, but are not limited to, thinking mechanically and playing mad (possessing the inability to contain their emotions).

How many good decisions do we make while we are mad?

Let’s all do ourselves a favor, the next time we play, we will play with nothing corner from Darian Rivera in front of the goal and found the back of the net, tying the game.

The goal was the first for Roswell this season and Lawrence said it was a big relief.

“I told the girls that once you score a goal, it sets the tone for the rest of the game and the games to come,” she said. “It was a big relief and we’ll take any kind of goal.”

The tone was set and the game-winning goal came 11 minutes later.

Roswell was awarded a penalty kick and Abby Contreras snuck a grounder into the left corner of the goal to give Roswell a 2-1 lead.

Goddard frantically tried to tie the game over the last five minutes, but couldn’t punch it in as Roswell improved its record to 1-2.

Despite leaving the invitational 0-3, Elizondo said that her team is ahead of where they were last year at this point.

“I have seen a lot of progress (over these three games),” she said. “I think we are ahead of where we were last year at this time.

We just have to keep work-

Probably practicing iron shots.

I really don’t care to do that. I don’t practice that much on the irons, but it’s also important. I just don’t practice it that much.

What is your dream foursome?

Ben Crenshaw because I’ve played with him and he’s a great guy. Nancy Lopez because I’ve played with her. And I’d probably say (Jack) Nicklaus. I have a lot of respect for them, for one thing.

They’ve done a lot for the game.

That’s just who I think I would choose. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

but visual thoughts, a positive decisionmaking process and the ability to relieve ourselves of anger by leaving the bad in the past.

Use the right brain folks, I highly recommend it.

After the two-day tournament, Lawrence said that she was impressed with her team’s play.

“Coming into the tournament with only four prac-

tices last week, we knew that it was going to be tough,” she said. “You can’t really prepare for a full game in four days. With four practices, I am impressed with the girls. I am proud of them. We have a lot of work to do, but we’ll get there.” l.foster@roswell-record.com

LSU’s Miles says players’ behavior ’unacceptable’

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Les Miles said quarterback Jordan Jefferson

SCOREBOARD

and several unidentified teammates were involved in a fight at a local bar early Friday morning.

Baton Rouge Police said Saturday that charges have not been filed, nor have there been any arrests.

Police spokesman Sgt. Don Stone told TigerSportsDigest.com on Saturday night that police want to interview Jefferson, offensive lineman Chris Davenport, defensive lineman Josh Johns and receiver Jarvis Landry on Monday about the incident.

“They’ve been implicated and we need to talk to them and get their side of the story,” Stone told the web site.

Miles was joined by 22 Tigers players when he spoke to reporters for 6 1⁄2 minutes earlier Saturday.

“I can tell you that the last couple of days have been miserable for us, that we’ve been involved in behavior that’s unacceptable to me, certainly unacceptable to our team — guys that broke team rules and violated curfew,” Miles said. “I can tell you and assure you that this will not happen again. I can tell you that there’s a remorseful team here.

“I personally want to apologize for the actions of my team.”

Miles said a “relatively large group” was involved in the incident, mentioning senior lineman T-Bob Hebert and Jefferson by name. Miles said all team members were accounted for at a 10:30 p.m. curfew check Thursday night.

Stone said four people were taken to local hospitals after the fight, none of them football players. Stone also said the four people taken for medical attention indicated they intended to press charges.

LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva released a statement saying “we will not tolerate student-athletes whose irresponsible actions tarnish the good name of a great university.”

“LSU student-athletes are expected to behave with the understanding that they represent their school, their fellow students and the long history of this program, regardless of the time of day,” he said. “Coach Miles has already begun taking disciplinary action. It is critical that we are deliberate in determining the facts surrounding this incident and as coach Miles said, when the facts are clear, additional and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if necessary.”

Miles said he already began disciplining the team Friday after a hastily called team meeting. He said the entire team was punished, not just the group involved in the fight.

“We’ve started disciplining our team because this was a team violation,” Miles said. “This was not just a guy. This was the team. We ran them and we’re running them.”

Miles said he won’t levy any punishments, including suspensions, against specific players until the details of the fight are collected and revealed.

“I want to find out more what went on,” Miles said.

Albuquerque native Foster scores twice in win

HOUSTON (AP) — Arian Foster ran for two touchdowns and Ben Tate rushed for 95 yards and another score in the first half of the Texans’ 27-14 win over the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night.

Foster, the NFL’s leading rusher in 2010, started after missing Houston’s preseason opener against the New York Jets with a sore hamstring. He had TD runs of 2 and 28 yards in the first quarter.

Tate, a second-round pick in 2010, was seeing his first game action since breaking his ankle in the first preseason game last year and going on injured reserve. He had a 4-yard touchdown and gained 43 yards on another run in the second quarter.

Matt Schaub completed 12 of 16 passes for 163 yards and Andre Johnson caught four passes for 100 yards for Houston (2-0).

Johnson also made his first preseason start after skipping the opener to protect a dislocated left index finger.

Drew Brees went 7 for 14 for 109 yards in a little

more than quarter of action for the Saints (1-1). Chase Daniel threw a long TD pass to rookie Joseph Morgan and 2011 first-round pick Mark Ingram had a touchdown run in the first half for New Orleans.

The Texans’ offense produced 323 yards and 19 first downs in one half against a Saints’ defense that gave up only 234 yards in last week’s 24-3 win over San Francisco. Houston finished with 436 total yards, a franchise record for a preseason game. defense, Houston’s meanwhile, looked solid again in its second outing employing Wade Phillips’ 34 scheme.

The Texans had seven sacks against the Jets, and defensive end Antonio Smith hit Brees on the Saints’ first series, causing a fumble. Mario Williams pounced in the loose ball at the Houston 28.

Schaub went 4 for 4 on the Texans’ first drive, including a 23-yarder to Johnson. Foster ran the last 15 yards of the drive on three carries, scoring

with 6:04 left in the first quarter.

Schaub started Houston’s next series with a play-action fake and a perfect 48-yard pass down the middle to Johnson. On second down, Foster burst through a big hole, sidestepped safety Paul Oliver and ran into the end zone.

Houston cor nerback Kareem Jackson and Saints’ receiver Devery Henderson exchanged shoves early in the second quarter, and Henderson was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Brees then completed a 43-yard pass to Robert Meachem to the Texans’ 8, and Ingram scored on fourth down from 1 to make it 14-7.

Tate broke a 23-yard run later in the second quarter, and Neil Rackers kicked a 49-yard field goal for a 17-7 Houston lead. Rackers connected from 47 and 49 yards in the opener.

Daniel replaced Brees on the Saints’ second series of the second quarter, and promptly threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Morgan, who beat Houston safety

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — About the only thing new for Alex Smith in his return to Candlestick Park was the coach on the sideline.

Smith threw for 126 yards and an interception in Jim Harbaugh’s home debut, getting showered with a mix of boos and cheers in the San Francisco 49ers’ 17-3 preseason victory over the cross-bay rival Oakland Raiders on Saturday night.

Smith was 8 for 13 and came up empty in the end zone again. He had a pass picked off by defensive end Matt Shaugnessy in the second quarter and could only lead the 49ers to a field goal

in one half of play.

The 2005 No. 1 overall pick at least left healthy.

Oakland starting quarterback Jason Campbell didn’t return after taking a couple of blows on a scramble play in the second quarter.

Bay Area fans might have left with more questions than answers about the two starting quarterbacks.

Although San Francisco’s offense showed significant improvement after a 24-3 loss in the exhibition opener at New Orleans last week, Smith’s performance mimicked so many others from his previous six seasons: He anchored three long drives, showed signs of progress

and made one major mistake.

With second-round pick Colin Kaepernick waiting on the sidelines, the pressure is on Smith to finally perform. Kaepernick threw for 52 yards on 6-for-8 passing and — like Smith — benefited in long drives by a strong running game.

The Niners opened with a 16-play, 79-yard drive that stalled 2 yards short of the goal line. The ensuing field goal attempt was botched because holder Andy Lee couldn’t corral the snap, throwing the ball away and getting pounded to the ground by defenders.

On the second drive, Smith tried to squeeze a pass to tight end Vernon Davis on the left sideline, Shaugnessy dropped into coverage and was giftwrapped an interception.

Smith walked off the field to a slight chorus of boos, the only cheers coming from Raiders fans.

“Despite not getting in the end zone, I think we still did a tremendous job with learning a new offense and putting everything together within three weeks,” Davis said. “I think we have a promising future ahead of us. Once it’s the opening of the season, I think we’ll be where we need to be.”

Danieal Manning on the play.

Johnson stretched for a 21-yard grab to the Saints’ 27, then caught another pass to the 4. Tate scored on the next play.

Early in the third quarter, Texans’ rookie linebacker Brooks Reed sacked Daniel and forced another fumble. Rookie defensive end Scooter Berry recovered and ran to the Saints’

27, setting up Rackers’ 40yard field goal for a 27-14 lead.

Reed had another sack on the last snap of the third quarter. The Texans had four sacks in the game.

back Terrence McGee before it hit the grass. He rumbled to midfield as time expired.

“I am not too pleased with my play,” McGee said, “but luckily we were able to get that stop.”

Quinn’s second drive stalled and the Broncos settled for Matt Prater’s 48-yard field goal, but he later hit Britt Davis with a 24-yard touchdown toss that made it 24-3.

Newly signed running back Willis McGahee scored both of Denver’s touchdowns when the starters were on the field. He followed a block from rookie tackle Orlando Franklin for a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter and hauled in a short pass in the right flat before outracing linebacker Reggie Torbor to the end zone for a 13yard TD that made it 143 and ended the starters’ night.

The Bills, who recorded nine sacks at Chicago last week, were hoping to get some pass rush on Orton without Shawne Merriman, who sat out with a minor knee injury.

Marcell Dareus, the third pick in the draft, was the only Buf falo player to get to Orton, dropping him for a 5yard loss on Denver’s opening drive.

Von Miller, taken one spot ahead of Dareus by Denver and the Broncos’ highest pick in their history, recorded his first sack as a pro, dumping R yan Fitzpatrick for a 10-yard loss.

The Broncos elected not to select a runstuf fer in a draft that was deep in defensive

tackles, and earlier in the week they lost Ty Warren (triceps), their top free agent signing, and Marcus Thomas (chest) in the same practice.

So, Kevin Vickerson and Brodrick Bunkley got the starts. Bunkley had a couple of noteworthy plays, flattening Fitzpatrick in the first quarter and deflecting a pass from Fitzpatrick in the second that he nearly chased down for a picksix.

The Bills took a 3-0 lead on Rian Lindell’s 40-yard field goal after Brad Smith got the first down on a fake punt on the game’s opening drive.

Broncos rookie safety Rahim Moore’s hit on Donald Jones sparked a short scuffle and left the Bills’ wide receiver on the ground for several minutes before he got to his feet and walked to the locker room in the second quarter.

Jones had beaten Cassius Vaughn down the Bills’ sideline, but Fitzpatrick’s throw overshot Jones, and Moore sliced in and hit the defenseless receiver under the chin. The back of Jones’ head hit the ground, and Moore was flagged for a personal foul.

Bills running back Fred Jackson and wide receiver Stevie Johnson both shoved Moore after the play.

The drive ended when linebacker D.J. Williams intercepted a pass that bounced off wide receiver Marcus Easley a few plays later.

Tyler Thigpen’s 13yard pass to Felton Huggins made it 24-10, but his fourth-down pass to Kamar Aiken was knocked away by Perrish Cox in the end zone with four minutes remaining.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — After getting burned for an 83-yard touchdown pass on the first play, the Tennessee Titans’ defense stood fast. The offense thrived without holdout Chris Johnson.

Steven Jackson was limited to 10 yards on six carries in his preseason debut and Sam Bradford had no other big plays in the first half and got banged around a bit, needing the backups to rally for a 17-16 victory over the Titans on Saturday night.

The Rams (2-0) scored 33 points in the preseason opener against the Colts but, after getting Tennessee (1-1) to bite on play action on Bradford’s 83-yarder to a wide-open Brandon Gibson for a quick 7-0 lead, new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had no follow-up with the first stringers.

Josh Brown kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the Rams the victory.

St. Louis opened with three tight ends and Jackson the lone back on a play that easily topped the Rams’ longest play last season — which was a 49-yard reception by Jackson. The lone suspense came when Gibson stumbled at the 35. The rest of the half, St. Louis totaled just 70 yards on 27 plays.

Rookie Jamie Harper, third on the Tennessee depth chart behind Johnson and Javon Ringer (hamstring) had 83 yards on 11 carries in the half. The highlight was a 46-yarder on a cutback run, and he scored for the second straight week.

Tennessee starter Matt Hasselbeck was sharp, going 7 for 9 for 74 yards.

Hasselbeck was shaken up on his final play when Brady Poppinga rolled into

his legs after a pass, but after walking off didn’t need treatment on the sideline.

Jackson missed most of two practices with hip soreness this week, but said it was just a precaution. He had trouble finding holes behind a line that had seldom-used Hank Fraley at guard, in place of guard Jacob Bell. Donnie Jones punted eight times, four in each half.

The Rams’ Donnie Avery (knee) played for the first time since last preseason and caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from A.J. Feeley in the third quarter that cut the gap to 16-14.

Jake Locker threw a 29-yard completion to Jared Cook to the 5 on his first snap to set up Rob Bironas’ third field goal of the half. Two of them were chip shots after the Titans stalled at the 7 and 5.

Alterraun Verner’s interception on Bradford’s throw in traffic, intended for Mike Sims-Walker, set up Harper’s touchdown run that put the Titans up 10-7 in the first quarter. Bradford was hit hard on consecutive plays in the second quarter, getting blind-sided by blitzing cornerback Cortland Finnegan and then going down after William Hayes grabbed him by the ankles.

Titans defensive end Jason Jones was carted off the field at the start of the second quarter with a sprained left knee sustained on the 83-yard touchdown.

Jones was back on the sideline in the second half wearing a brace.

Rams middle linebacker James Laurinaitis made his preseason debut and tackled Harper for a 1-yard gain on the T itans’ first play. Laurinaitis, who missed the opener with a pectoral injury, also had a sack.

Webb Simpson leads by two shots at Wyndham Roswell Daily Record

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Even during a rough start, Webb Simpson never lost his cool. He was rewarded with one of the hottest stretches of his young career.

It put the local favorite in position for his first PGA Tour win.

Simpson shot a 6-under 64 on Saturday to move to 15-under 195 and take a two-stroke lead after three rounds at the Wyndham Championship.

The 26-year-old Raleigh native and for mer Wake Forest player had four birdies and an eagle during his late charge at the final event before the playoffs start next week.

“You’ve got to really stay patient around this golf

course, because bogeys are pretty quick to happen out here with the rough and the undulating greens,” Simpson said. “I told myself to be patient and let the birdies come. It took them a while to get there, but (he) finally made a few coming in.”

Tommy Gainey (69), who led or shared the lead after each of the first two rounds, was 13 under.

Carl Pettersson (63) and John Mallinger (65) were 12 under. Daniel Summerhays (68) was 11 under, and Billy Horschel (66), Charles Howell III (66), Jason Bohn (67), Retief Goosen (68) and Ernie Els (69) were another stroke back.

and lightning.

After things resumed, Simpson made his move.

He started the day three strokes behind Gainey and had two early bogeys before leapfrogging his playing partner with a barrage of low scores.

Simpson birdied No. 13 and sank a 32-foot birdie putt on No. 14. He stuck his second shot on the par5 15th within 5 feet of the flagstick and converted that putt for his third eagle of the week. He had consecutive birdies on Nos. 16 and 17, then nearly closed his round with another — but left his 18-foot birdie putt 2 inches short.

“Probably one of my top birdie-eagle streaks that I’ve had, and it came at a

Tommy Gainey hits a shot out of a bunker on the 15th hole, Saturday.

HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) — Fr ed Couples shot a 3under 68 on Saturday to take a one-str oke lead after the third round of the Senior Players Championship, the Champions Tour’s final major of the season.

Couples is at 11-under 202 for the tour nament and is trying for his first Champions T our title since a seven-stroke victory last October at the Adminstaf f Small Business Classic in T exas.

Since his fourth victory on the senior tour, Couples has struggled with his back, but the injury has healed following a non-traditional procedure in Germany six weeks ago.

“It was a good day,” Couples said. “I drove the ball well. The best thing I did is I felt I hit the ball solid. It was a good round, not great, but I’m still in the lead and I’ll have to have a better r ound tomorrow.”

Peter Senior remained in second at 10 under after a third-round 68 and was tied with John Cook, who moved up from fourth with a 66. Cor ey Pavin was fourth at 8 under after shooting a 69.

Tom Lehman shot a 67, finishing in a four-way tie for fifth at 207 with Tommy Ar mour III (67), Mark Calcavecchia (67), defending champion Mark O’Meara (69) and Jef f Sluman (69).

Couples, Senior and Pavin were the last trio teeing off at the Westchester Country Club’s treelined West Course, and the 51-year -old Couples’ booming drives drew some of the loudest cheers from fans following him on each hole. Couples began with pars on the first four holes, then took the lead with a birdie on No. 5 and followed that up with a long birdie on the seventh hole.

Those were two of Couples’ three birdies, though none wer e in the back

nine. Couples maintained his two-stroke lead with pars on the final nine holes as his nearest competition failed to gain ground.

Couples’ steady and consistent round has put him on the verge of winning his second major and first since winning the 1992 Masters by two str okes over Raymond Floyd.

“Winning is winning,” Couples said. “It’s hard to win Augusta, hard to win U.S. Open, hard to win the British Open, so any golf tour nament is har d to win. For me tomorrow is a big day to see if I can win a tournament.”

Cook had the best opportunity when Couples failed to reach the fairway for the first time on No. 15 and missed a birdie putt.

Cook’s birdie putt on No. 16 nearly went in, but grazed the top of the hole before rolling out and he finished with par on the final two holes.

Cook moved up with five birdies during a bogey-free r ound, while Senior remained steady with four birdies, including two on the final two holes.

Cook is in good position for his fourth Champions Tour victory of the year and ninth overall, while Senior has an opportunity to be the first Australian to win a major on the Champions T our since Stewart Ginn in 2002.

“Any win is special,” Cook said. “A major win is at that next level and when you win events at places that you’ve had great history at, it is special no doubt.”

Pavin turned in his 13th straight round under par after bogeying three times on the front nine. He came on strong with four birdies and was thr ee str okes back with a birdie on No. 16 but could not get any closer.

better time than any other streak I’ve had, just because we’re not getting anything going all day and everybody else is taking it low,” Simpson said. “To finish the round that way was great. I’d much rather finish the round that way than start that way. If at all possible, we’ll start that way (Sunday).”

There certainly was plenty of movement on “Moving Day” with the crowded leaderboard shuffling itself several times.

Gainey, a South Carolina native nicknamed “Tommy Two Gloves,” built his lead two-round lead after having just one bogey on Thursday and Friday.

But he doubled that total on his first two holes, and that opened things up for the rest of the field.

“I guess one word sums it up — frustrating,” Gainey said. “That’s the only positive thing that I can take from it right now, is I still have a chance to win the golf tournament. That’s all you can ask for, teeing it up Round 1 to Round 4.”

Pettersson was the first to take advantage. He began the day seven strokes back, but had an eagle on the par-5 No. 5 to go with five birdies, including one on the par-3 16th that put him in front at 12 under.

Now he’ll enter the final round in contention for a second victory on his adopted hometown course.

He’s making the daily 70mile commute from his home in Raleigh.

“I think the golf course is finally tougher than in years past,” Pettersson said. “It’s nice to put myself back in the tournament, and I don’t know what’s going to happen. Today I’ve done my bit and I probably

(have) got to go a low (score) tomorrow again.”

Mallinger, who began the day five shots back, followed a bogey with three straight birdies on Nos. 1517 to vault into the lead at 13 under. His tee shot on No. 18 sailed into the woods and he caught a fortunate bounce when it kicked back into play, but his 27-foot par putt trickled past the hole and he tapped in for bogey.

Connie Lee Corn

Connie Lee Corn passed away peacefully Friday, Aug. 12, 2011, at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center. She had requested no services be held.

Connie was bor n Dec. 18, 1934, in Beaver Creek, Minn., to Leonard and Verdie Ormseth, who preceded her in death, as did a brother, Jake Ormseth, a sister, Betty Lentner, and a brother-in-law, David Ackroyd.

Connie was a lifelong res-

ident of Roswell, where she married Graham Corn on Jan. 19, 1953, and had two children, Gary and Debe.

She had many friends and neighbors over the years who loved her deeply, especially for her sense of humor and for being so down-to-Earth. It was said many times you never had to guess what Connie was thinking; she would always let you know.

Connie had a lifetime love of baseball, beginning as a little girl listening to games on the radio, to more recently being a big Atlanta Braves fan. Her alltime favorite movie and book was “Gone with the Wind,” which she cherished and had read and seen many times. She loved country music, especially Ray Price and “For the Good Times.” She also had a love of antiques that brought her so much joy to refinish and admire.

One of her closest treasures was her little shih tzu, Bubba, whom she had gotten as a puppy eight years ago and was her constant companion. He is moving into his new home with her son Gary, as she had requested a few days before her passing.

She had requested no services, because she didn’t believe in funerals and the deep suffering they caused her in her life. She left us this little poem which pretty much sums it all up.

“Remember me with smiles and laughter for that’s how I’ll remember you all.

If you can only remember me with sorrow and tears, then don’t remember me at all.”

Connie is survived by her son Gary Corn and his wife Deborah, of Medford, Ore; daughter Debe Cor n, of Santa Fe; one grandchild Mitchell Corn, of Roswell; sisters, Lorraine (Babe) Ackroyd, of Roswell, and Delores (Dee) Connell, of Luver n, Minn.; brother

Dennis (Dennie) Ormseth and his wife Peggyn of Roswell; and numerous nieces, nephews extended family and friends as well as her beloved pet Bodacious Bubba Corn.

costumes and set construction — are expected to range from $1.5 million to $1.8 million for each new opera.

The Santa Fe Opera is the leading partner, footing 60 percent of the cost. Private foundations and gifts from individuals are also helping fund the effort.

MacKay sees partnerships as part of the evolution of the art form.

The challenge for Santa Fe is it has such a unique theater. With a sweeping canopy that opens to the outdoors, there’s no fly space above the stage where painted drops for later scenes can be stored.

And the scenery has to be substantial, tough enough to withstand a summer rainstor m or a gust of wind.

“We are covered but we are still subject to the weather,” MacKay said.

More partnerships are planned for the future, including one with the Canadian Opera in Toronto. MacKay is also in discussions with opera houses in Spain and France, where economics have also been a problem for the arts.

“It’s going to be very interesting over the next five or 10 years to see how these seismic changes in Europe will affect the support for the arts and the funding for opera,” he said.

“I think it’s very possible that there will be even greater opportunities for collaboration as a result of this.”

The Santa Fe Opera has been fortunate, MacKay said. Ticket sales have suffered a bit due to an overall lull in tourism, but this year’s total contributed income for the opera is about $7 million.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — For more than five decades, the spirit behind the Santa Fe Opera has stemmed from a deep commitment to commissioning new works and presenting rare productions that had never been seen or heard in the United States.

Now, with its international reputation and unique location in the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the opera continues to make good on its commitment with two new commissions and an American premiere despite the ongoing economic stranglehold that has brought some of the arts community to its knees.

General director Charles MacKay says that means visitors to the outdoor venue will be treated to new performances for at least the next four years.

“Part of our DNA,” he said, “is presenting new works in the belief that it is what is necessary to keep the operatic art form alive and vibrant.”

In the opera’s first year 55 years ago, it presented the world premiere of Marvin David Levy’s “The Tower.” It followed that with its first commission, Carlisle Floyd’s “Wuthering

Heights.” In all, the company has had nine commissions and nearly four dozen American premieres.

This year, it’s “Faust” and “La Boheme,” but MacKay told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the Santa Fe Opera can’t be a showcase just for the great master works of the past.

The new commissions were announced this month. The first is about one of the world’s great literary figures, Oscar Wilde.

Never before has an opera been written about the author, so MacKay suspects “Oscar” will reach far beyond traditional opera fans. It also doesn’t hurt that David Daniels, a major figure in the opera world, will be singing the title role.

For the second commission, Charles Frazier’s best-selling novel “Cold Mountain” is being transfor med into an opera by 2010 Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon, who is considered one of the leading composers in the world.

The Civil War story will also star one of opera’s heart throbs, Nathan Gunn.

“The commitment to new and rarely performed works is what really makes the Santa Fe Opera different,”

MacKay said. “It makes it stand out along with the commitment that we have to the training and advancement of youth American artists and artisans who are working both backstage and who are appearing on our stages side-by-side with international star performers.”

“Oscar” and “Cold Mountain” are also important because they represent the latest examples of partnerships among opera houses, a growing trend that opera company directors see as a way to transcend the struggling economy and its ripple effects on the arts.

States and federal agencies have been slashing budgets, and the arts community has not been immune. Some opera houses and symphony orchestras around the country have been forced to file for bankruptcy, dance companies have been struggling and the generosity of donors has waned as they pull tighter on their own purse strings.

“Being artistically aggressive is exactly what needs to happen with arts organizations right now,” said Robert L ynch, president and chief executive of the advocacy group Americans for the Arts.

“People are paying out of their pockets to go to things and they have to

have great things to go to,” he said, explaining that 60 percent of the money that comes into the arts community is from ticket sales and earned income. “Providing a good set of things to choose from is a good strategy.”

Arts organizations nationwide are grappling with the same issues, he said.

“How do you not sacrifice the art, but look at interesting management structures and collaborations, mergers or artistic co-productions? Those are examples of what the whole nation is looking at,” Lynch said.

The Santa Fe Opera is working with the Opera Company of Philadelphia on “Oscar” and “Cold Mountain.” The hope is the partnership can become a model for other opera companies interested in bringing new performances to the public.

“In dif ficult economic times, perhaps more than ever, it is important to reaffir m the importance of growth in our sector, and to give our audience exciting and engaging new experiences,” David Devan, general director of the Opera Company of Philadelphia, said in a statement.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

Dear Editor: Southeastern New Mexico is about to lose another important community resource!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeastern New Mexico, headquartered here in Roswell, was started by a group of concerned community leaders, including former Mayor Tom Jennings, more than 10 years ago. Their goal was to save our atrisk children from failing grades, dropping out of school, violence, drugs, alcohol, teen pregnancies and crime.

Information concerning the current board’s governance failures and inadequacies has just come to light. In addition to not having annual meetings and elected officers in more than two years, the five-person board has been making important decisions despite the bylaws requirement of a minimum of nine members. Thus, the board has been operating outside the jurisdiction of its own policies and procedures.

Moreover, despite the board’s specific responsibility to lead the organization’s fundraising efforts, board member support of and presence at important BBBS fund-raising functions has been at best spotty. Without this leadership support, staff’s ability to successfully approach potentially high-level donors has been severly curtailed.

In essence, one needs to question whether the board has any legal authority to make decisions on any issue that affects the agency in any manner. This was brought to their attention at a recent board meeting by some community members that expressed extreme dismay, both concerning whether the board had the authority to make decisions as well as the reasonableness of those decisions, including surrendering the organization’s corporate charter and tax-exempt status and merging with another BBBS organization from Santa Fe. As part of that community delegation, I asked board members to explain what they accomplished in the past three years to increase revenues, public awareness, the number of volunteers and especially

Unfortunately, I was confronted by a steadfast refusal by all board members present to be held accountable. After a deluge of excuses, the board president summarily dismissed agency staff and concerned community members from further participation. Effectively the four board members remained and voted to proceed with the merger with Santa Fe. The board recently dismissed the CEO who has worked tirelessly to save a sinking ship without an effective board to help. Despite the fact that the agency has experienced financial difficulties for the past several years due to diminishing government support, the recession and the lack of board fundraising involvement, the board chose to sacrifice the organization to cover its own questionable performance. It appears obvious to me that the board has been secretly discussing a Santa Fe takeover that they callously call a “merger.”

Presently the Roswell board is waiting for a management agreement to be developed that will enable Santa Fe to call all the shots in southeastern New Mexico until a more permanent takeover is concluded. Make no mistake, this was not done for the benefit of our at-risk kids, but simply to get rid of the evidence of the board’s questionable performance.

Santa Fe is not Roswell. Not only are there major socioeconomic and indeed cultural differences, there’s also a strong feeling of distrust of any “northern” organization’s intentions. This distrust is supported by altogether too many instances of the demise of local agencies after being taken over by Santa Fe. Current southeastern staff members are our neighbors and friends; they work hard and understand the uniqueness of our history and attitudes. They have local roots, local connections and are aware of local challenges and ways of getting things done.

In response to the board’s decision to dimiss the CEO, it’s very likely that there will soon be no local staff left to operate the agency. Their fears and general disillusionment, as well as their distrust of their board and those in Santa Fe waiting

Based on discussions with Santa Fe staff, the clear message is that “care, concern and sensitivity” toward changing children’s lives will dissolve in a massive attempt to incr ease numbers. Simply put, the appearance of doing a good job will replace effective and caring service.

As all nonprofits do, BBBS of Southeastern New Mexico relies heavily on the generosity of local people and businesses. There are many local supporters who continue to give what they can, even in these lean times. If board members were sincerely interested in determining local sentiment concerning this take-over and to demonstrate respect for these folk’s loyalty and generosity, they should have consulted some of them before just giving everything away, including the lost opportunity of maintaining the loyalty of these folks.

Roswell desperately needs BBBS’s mentoring programs carried out by local volunteers and staff and supported by local contributors. However, unless there is immediate, strong, vocal public support, we will surely loose this valuable community resource.

If you would like more information or would like to donate to our cause, please visit saveour magic.com or e-mail saveourmagic@gmail.com Please note, all donations will be given to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeastern New Mexico if the merger is successfully halted. If the merger should be completed and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeastern New Mexico is dissolved, your donation will be refunded.

Education needs a makeover

Dear Editor: Having taught in RISD, I almost laughed at Mike Gottlieb’s response to the miserable results on the AYP. He sounded like one of my eighth-grade math students, “Mister, this is haaaard.”

And as always his solution is to test less.

B7

We certainly wouldn’t want a student to learn anything that Mr. Gottlieb doesn’t consider essential.

His statement about preparing students for the work force was even more laughable. All knowledge is essential in the work force. The whining dolts at RISD don’t know this because they have never been part of the workforce. The path of the average teacher is high school to college to teaching. The actual workforce, i.e. private business is as foreign to them as the lunar landscape.

Their counselors have long since given up career counseling so they can all pretend to be Sigmund Freud. Teachers look down their collective noses at anything relating to vocational training and learning an actual skill. The only reason RISD provides any vocational training at all is because federal money is at stake. Even so they can’t bear to call it vocational, substituting instead some meaningless euphemism no doubt incorporating the word “technology.” Reading, writing, research, a decent command of the English language and punctuality are not stressed. However, an inordinate amount of time is given to “feelings,” “diversity” and other politically correct social agenda.

My point here is that nothing ever changes, but RISD still has the temerity to ask for more money. The money wasted on public education is a travesty.

Money has not produced one single successful program; all it has done is fund one bogus solution after another. Free lunch, free breakfast, uniforms, planners, computers, all these were going to revolutionize education, yet test scores continue to go down.

The solution is simple, give them no more money, hold the RISD administration accountable (fire them), and make teachers teach actual subjects. Those teachers whose students consistently score low can seek other work. I hear the fast food and housekeeping industries need help.

More ways to spend down to meet Medicaid requirements

If you have been following this series (this is the last of six), then you know we are wrapping up Medicaid and that Medicaid is the state program to help pay for nursing facility care, and home care under the Personal Care Option or CoLTS program, and you have to qualify (spend down assets, shelter assets, or exempt assets) in order to get Medicaid.

To review legitimate asset protection, and penalties for illegitimate actions, check the last five articles and if you email me I can email them to you.

An interesting point under the CoLTS program is that if you are in a nursing home for at least 30 days, and you are Medicaid qualified as in “spent down,� and the discharge coordinator or your family makes absolutely sure that all the CoLTS paperwork is completed with Medicaid during the 30 days, and discharge to your home is a good idea, then you can get home care, if needed, under the CoLTS program without being on a long waiting list like most other home care programs.

The income diversion trust ...

trusts. Don’t do it until you apply for Medicaid and a Medicaid worker tells you to do it and then shop lawyers for price. The trust holds the excess income, income over $2,000 or so a month, in a bank account so as to make you look income poor and then you get on Medicaid. When you go to your final glory, the money in the bank account goes to the state to reimburse the amount Medicaid paid your nursing home over the years. Any balance left in the account after reimbursing New Mexico is distributed according to your will (there never is any unless you have many thousands of dollars of income per month).

Way too complicated, but it works for those who have a few hundred too much multiple pension income to get on Medicaid.

Hey buddy, if you got many thousands of dollars of income a month and need an income diversion trust, well, what are you doing in a nursing home in the first place? You been living under a rock? Spend your income for posh assisted living, apartments, carpeting, plenty of pretty nurses, and stuff like that. If you were in

what could such a thing be? All my income is diverted when I pay my bills. T rust me about this trust, you don’t want a detailed explanation of this shell game that was put in place by the courts so that individuals who receive too much monthly income can still receive Medicaid.

Remember that you can only have around $2,000 or less a month of income and still get on Medicaid. What if you have more than that but not enough to pay a $6,000 monthly nursing home bill? Must you live under a bridge with your bedpan? Nope, unless you love the Hobo Joe-elder lifestyle.

News coverage disappointing

Dear Editor, As an independent voter and former newsman, I was disappointed with your coverage on Rep. Steve Pearce’s town hall meeting at the Roswell Adult and Senior Center on Aug, 15. While reporting that he “came under fire for the debt ceiling and the economy� makes good copy it does not necessarily make good journalism.

The United States of American has a serious financial problem. That was the thrust of the meeting. It is easy for us to point our fingers at someone and blame them for our problems. However, that does not increase our chances of solving the problem one iota.

Problems can only be solved when they are correctly and accurately defined. If they are inaccurately or broadly defined, then any solutions will be inaccurate or fail to get the job done.

The citizens of our country need to be fully and accurately informed about our looming financial crisis. Only then will they be able to take the steps necessary to solving the problem.

If the news media persists in covering only the finger pointing, then its coverage only adds to and prolongs the problem.

Good journalism would provide the citizens with clear, precise coverage of the problem. The Roswell Daily Record would be doing its citizens a great favor by reporting on the real issue. Reporting that the Democrats and Republicans blame each other for the financial condition in the United States does nothing to help us solve the problem.

Respectfully, Arthur Hartwell Roswell

President must improve economy

Dear Editor: Shortly after Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced on Saturday that he was running for president in 2012, Obama spokesperson David Axelrod got on television saying that Gov. Perry could not take credit for the prosperity and job creation the last two to three years in Texas. He says that the increase in jobs (more than all other states combined) were all low paying and

Lots of out-of-state outfits are marketing Medicaid qualifying annuities. Some way for you to give your cash to them for them to invest with you receiving the income gradually and then you can qualify for Medicaid. The only part I don’t like about this is the “give your cash to them� part.

Also, new Medicaid regulations require that the annuity be irrevocable and name Medicaid as beneficiary to the extent that Medicaid has paid, so I don’t see how it accomplishes much other than getting the salesman a commission. If you want to make investments, fine, but don’t think of it as a Medicaid matter without expert advice and use a local broker.

OK, you guys are all Medicaid experts now, except for the fact that they change their rules every year (usually to your benefit), and except for the fact that my elevator don’t reach the top floor (that’s called a disclaimer).

due to the price of oil and drilling for oil in Texas.

Maybe if we would have had a “Rick Perry� as president the past three years instead of Obama, the whole country would be prospering and creating jobs. Instead of amassing an additional $3-4 trillion in debt, and 9.6 percent-plus unemployment. Think about that and let’s put a real conservative and job creator in the White House in 2012.

Next month, we’ll identify how the United Way benefits seniors and then push on to long term care insurance, the last element of Medicaid and nursing or assisted living planning. These are insurance policies that pay for home care, nursing and assisted living care. Not a bad idea as long as you understand what you are buying; as long as you are buying it from a good company that you have researched (preferably a local company so you can kick the door in if things don’t pan out); and as long as you are young and healthy enough to afford it.

ence, from one guard. Do I enjoy going through that procedure when I’m required to go see the people who control my life? No! But I can be civil about it, and I try to be.

But this one today started a cloud over my whole afternoon, and it was totally unnecessary! He went out of his way to be obnoxious, finally telling me that I have a choice — I can either put up with him, or not to enter.

Of course I replied that I didn’t have a choice, as I was there to visit the IRS. I finally gave up to the dictator, and was allowed to enter.

To sum up my complaint, I can’t imagine that any citizen of a “free� country can enjoy being stopped and searched every time he must enter the halls of government at any level. But that does not give the searchers the right to be demanding, rude, obnoxious, argumentative, etc. just because they have that majestic power!

I sincerely hope that this letter will have the same magic effect that the last one had.

We need to all make an effort to get along, even under unpleasant circumstances.

Working Mothers’ Day Nursery A Child Development Center

MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF KATHLEEN ALONZO

After the birth of a baby, many thoughts may race through new parents’ minds on how to take care of their new addition. Once the first few months pass it might be time for mom to go back to work. Family may not always be available to help babysit, and Working Mother’s Day Nursery is a great alternative for fulfilling a mother and child’s new needs.

Working Mothers’ Day Nursery is located at 500 E. Bland, and is under the direction of Kathleen Alonzo. The nursery has had a home in Roswell since the early 50s. The day care’s building, which is owned by the city of Roswell, was built in 1991 by using federal Community Development Block Grant funds. Since then the nursery has grown and expanded. In its outside play area, sit two new portable classrooms that house the older 4- to 5-year-old children. The nursery is a licensed child development center with a capacity to serve 60 children under the age of 2 and 60 children over the age of 2.

The vision of Working Mothers’ Day Nursery is to create a loving and nurturing atmosphere with the highest measure of quality and consistency in which to educate and care for children. The center provides families and children with the same loving, nurturing environment without regard to socio-economic means.

Working Mothers’ believes that children learn best through play, “we know that children develop at a different pace and because of this, we of fer each child opportunities to explore the world around them, either alone, or in a group setting, by providing a safe, secure environment that promotes independence, while still ensuring they receive the support and encouragement from the adults that care for them.”

Children learn through play and children learn best by doing. The nursery looks for meaningful ways to help each child develop intellectually, physically and emotionally. Materials and curriculum are based on the knowledge level of each child and by observing each child.

Working Mothers’ provides an opportune environment where children will develop into happy, motivated, healthy and enthusiastic individuals.

All children are welcome to attend Working Mothers’. The nursery accepts subsidy payment from the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department-Early Childhood Services as well as private payment. New parents will fill out an enrollment packet of forms given to new clients to fill out that includes, applications, list of items a child should need, emergency cards, and food eligibility. All

enrollment fees are $25. All parents are required to bring in a three-ring binder.

The binder will be used to track their child’s progress during their time at the nursery. The nursery also has an open door policy for parents to participate in the activities the nursery has.

Age groups divide the nursery and children. The first division is for babies 3-6 months to 1 year old. The nursery is equipped with cribs, swings, and the essentials a baby will need during its first year of life. The second division is the crawler group. Children are usually 1 year old in this section. Children in this section are required to be drinking out of regular cups on their own. This is an impressive section of the nursery because babies tend to use “sippy cups” until they are at least 2 years of age or older. The nursery works with all the children to grow and become independent. The third section is the 2and 3 -

We are grateful for the state legislature, block funds and all the support we get to improve the facility to provide the children of Roswell a great quality of service. We are also thankful for the dedicated staff who give this service to those children enrolled there.”

Working Mothers’ is a thriving establishment, where children learn and grow, and parents have ease of mind. Parents find comfort knowing their children are in the best of hands with a professional staff.

year-olds. The classrooms are organized to help with the development of the children. At this age they start to recognize colors and shapes. The last section is for the 4- to 5-year-olds. This section is for the preparation of kindergarten. Children in this group already know their ABC’s, numbers and basic skills for reading. All classrooms have surveillance and at least three teachers per room.

The nursery has a curriculum set for each age group to help the development of each child. A child being introduced into an environment like a nursery is a good way to start establishing social skills. Children will gain the concepts of sharing, friendship and caring for one another.

Working Mothers’ is an accredited Level Two center, and is working diligently to make its way up the ladder to Level Three according to Aim High standards.

“I have seen a lot of changes during my time here. It has become one of the finest nurseries in southeastern New Mexico.

There is a sense of family here; the employees care about each of the children that come here. It’s a welcoming environment,” said Alonzo.

For families who are in need of child care but need help making the payments, there are scholarships available to meet those needs. The United Way has a big hand in helping raise those funds. “Every year the United Way passes out pledge cards and those who choose to donate can donate to the United Way or a specified partner,” said Sherry Mumford, executive director of the United Way of Chaves County. “Once a year during campaigning we allocate funds for about 12-15 scholarships for Working Mothers’.”

Girl’s shyness may be caused by anxiety Q: My daughter is in elementary school and is extremely shy. So shy that it is affecting her schoolwork and friendships. What can we do to bring her out of this shell?

Juli: Unfortunately, many kids struggle with shyness. According to Dr. Jerome Kagan, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, about 10 to 15 percent of kids in elementary school are very shy.

For some, their shyness is a manifestation of a reserved personality trait.

For others, shyness is a symptom of anxiety. The fact that your daughter’s grades and friendships are being impacted suggests that she is probably in the latter category.

One of the best ways to combat anxiety is to make the world a more predictable place. You can help your daughter with this by role-playing every-

day situations like what to do when you meet someone new or when someone teases you at school. You can also work with her teacher and other school staff to make social interactions at school more predictable.

School can be an overwhelming experience for a young child. Your daughter may begin to develop more self-confidence in social situations by interacting with smaller groups of children outside the school setting.

Start by inviting over a potential friend for a playdate. It is even better if the friend is a classmate so that the relationship carries over into the classroom environment. You may even want to ask your daughter’s teacher for recommendations of what kids in the class would be a good fit for a friend.

If you find that these interventions are not making a difference, it is time

to seek help from a qualified professional. Most schools have on-staff counselors who are skilled at handling anxiety-related behavior. Your school or your daughter’s pediatrician may also be able to refer you to an expert in your area.

Q: The other day I heard my junior high-aged son and his friend laughing about a classmate who passed out by sniffing an air freshener. I wanted to ask them about it but I thought they were probably just making up stories.

Surely they were joking about this?

Jim: Sadly, this has become an all-too-real phenomenon. Even as illegal drugs continue to plague youth culture, some of the most harmful substances to your kids might be sitting right under your own roof.

In 2010, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released a study about an increasingly popular youth pastime known as “huffing.” This, as you may have surmised from your son’s conversation, is when kids

Roswell Daily Record

attempt to get high by inhaling common household products such as shoe polish, glue and, yes, air fresheners. It sounds absurd, but research shows that more 12-yearolds have used household products to get high than marijuana, cocaine and hallucinogens combined.

This is a very real problem.

The use of inhalants can cause a child’s heart rate to increase dramatically. In some cases, the end result is cardiac arrest and sudden death. Even for kids who try huffing only once, the risk of serious injury or death is considerable.

I’m not suggesting that you lock up all of your household products. But your son needs to know that this is no laughing matter. As you talk to him about the pitfalls of alcohol abuse and illegal drugs like marijuana, be sure to let him know that “huffing” is

a dangerous -- and potentially deadly -- pursuit as well. Help him make smart decisions and stand up to peer pressure. Your active presence in his life is the strongest defense he has against the dead-end road of drug and alcohol abuse.

Chefs talk about unusual farmers market finds

FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Katsuya Fukushima is used to working with unusual ingredients, using liquid nitrogen or high-tech whipping canisters to make “snow” or “air” from otherwise solid ingredients.

But when he came across a long-stemmed plant with scalloped leaves at his local far mers market, he was stymied.

“I had no idea what it was,” Fukushima — who at the time was chef de cuisine at Jose Andres’ cutting edge minibar restaurant — said of finding what turned out to be the herb known as stevia. Stevia most often is seen in powdered form and used as a sweetener.

“The farmer let me taste it and it was super sweet, but it was a leaf. Something that tiny and that sweet was very exciting. It was a great discovery.”

So he laced it with fresh mint and balanced it with tangy yogurt for a dessert at minibar. Now he is considering a salad of sweet stevia and bitter arugula for Rabbit, the Arlington, Va., restaurant where he is consulting chef.

Farmers markets have grown like tomatoes in summer during the last five years, with an increasingly food savvy public pushing their numbers up more than 60 percent to 7,175 today. But after the spring onions, snap peas and new potatoes, many consumers — and even some chefs — find items that leave them baffled. What do the pros do with their enticing yet exotic finds?

Andy Ricker, who won

the 2011 James Beard award for best chef in the Northwest, shops the stalls of Hmong farmers at his Portland, Ore., market to find fiddlehead ferns, vegetables like “phak khanaa” or Chinese broccoli, exotic, untranslatable herbs and crucial ingredients like cilantro root for the innovative Asian cuisine he turns out at his restaurant Pok Pok. Foraged mushrooms and turkey eggs were recent finds for Nicholas Stefanelli, executive chef at Bibiana in Washington, D.C., but he also recalls stumbling on wor mwood, the legendary ingredient in absinthe liqueur. He’d had high hopes for that.

“It didn’t have the flavor I thought it was going to have,” he says about the bushy blue-green shrub. “I thought it would be anise, but it was herbaceous. It was a little woodsy.” He tried making tea from the leaves and using its branches for smoked meats, but he never found a place for the flavor on his menu.

Like many home cooks, chefs say they also appreciate the one-on-one relationship they develop with farmers by browsing the market, asking questions and seeing their growers face-to-face each week.

“You find you get a lot more of the hidden treasures,” Bibiana’s Stefanelli says. “They might only have two quarts of figs and they save them for customers who come buy from them every week.”

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are expecting our first child in a few months, and my mother, who lives out of state, will be flying in to help with the new baby. This will be her first grandchild.

Mom adopted a small indoor dog about a month ago. “Trixie” is pint-sized, but she has a loud, high-pitched bark and she barks often. When Mom told me she plans to bring Trixie with her, I expressed con-

cern that the constant barking will wake the baby and everyone else. I am also concerned about dander in the nursery from Trixie’s long hair.

I asked Mom to leave Trixie home with my father, but she said she just adopted her and doesn’t want her to feel abandoned. I wouldn’t mind her bringing Trixie on future visits, just not while we’re adjusting to a new baby.

Am I being selfish to ask my mother to keep the dog at home when she comes to visit?

GET ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE DEAR DOGHOUSE: By the time your baby arrives, T rixie should have adjusted to both of your parents and should not feel abandoned if one of them leaves for a short while. Your needs and

the needs of your household should take precedence over the needs of your mother’s dog, and you are not being selfish to insist upon it.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married 24 years to a great guy. For the first time I am struggling with feelings of jealousy. My husband has begun a friendship with a female co-worker who is also married. They exchange emails, text messages and phone calls. They get together socially occasionally and have exchanged birthday and holiday gifts.

There’s nothing “wrong” with what they’re doing, and I feel my husband has the right to be friends with whomever he chooses. He loves me and treats me well. I don’t want to

feel or act like a crazy, jealous wife. But I have a hard time when I see how he enjoys his fun new friend — who, by the way, is young and great looking. How can I overcome my jealousy?

DEAR O.B. AND C.:

I’m not sure you should. If your husband had a female friend from work he had lunch with occasionally, I wouldn’t be concerned. But emails, texts, phone calls and exchanging gifts seems excessive. Tell him his relationship with his “fun new friend” is making you uncomfortable and you need it toned down because you feel it’s a threat to your marriage. If he cares about your feelings, he should pay attention to what you’re saying.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

When wearing a suit frequently, like for your aerobics class, the suit may deteriorate faster.

But here are some Heloise helpful hints to help it last as long as possible.

After each use, you should rinse the suit using ONLY cold water. Don’t use detergent or soap, because it can damage the suit (although some swimsuit manufacturers recommend using a mild soap made for delicates or hand-washing sweaters).

After rinsing twice, gently roll the suit in a towel to remove the excess water (do not wring it out or twist it).

Finish by letting it air-dry.

Don’t put your suit in the washing machine or dryer, because these things can cause deterioration and stretching of the fabric. It also is a good idea to alter nate suits if you can.

Roswell Daily Record

Boomers will be spending billions to counter aging NEW YORK (AP) — Baby boomers heading into what used to be called retirement age are providing a 70 million-member strong market for legions of companies, entrepreneurs and cosmetic surgeons eager to capitalize on their “forever young” mindset, whether it’s through wrinkle creams, face-lifts or workout regimens.

It adds up to potential bonanza. The market research firm Global Industry Analysts projects that a boomer-fueled consumer base, “seeking to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay,” will push the U.S. market for anti-aging products from about $80 billion now to more than $114 billion by 2015.

The boomers, who grew up in a culture glamorizing youth, face an array of choices as to whether and how to be a part of that market.

Anti-aging enthusiasts contend that life spans can be prolonged through interventions such as hormone replacement therapy and dietary supplements. Critics, including much of the medical establishment, say many anti-aging interventions are ineffective or harmful.

From mainstream organizations such as the National Institute on Aging, the general advice is to be a skeptical consumer on guard for possible scams involving purported anti-aging products.

“Our culture places great value on staying young, but aging is normal,” the institute says. “Despite claims about pills or treatments that lead to endless youth, no treatments have been proven to slow or reverse the aging process.”

Its advice for aging well is basic: Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, don’t smoke.

“If someone is promising you today that you can slow, stop or reverse aging, they’re likely trying hard to separate you from your money,” said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago’s School of Public Health who has written extensively about aging.

“It’s always the same message: ‘Aging is your fault and we’ve got the cure,”’ Olshansky said.

“Invest in yourself, in the simple things we know work. Get a good pair of running or walking shoes and a health club membership, and eat more fruits and vegetables.”

But such advice hasn’t curtailed the demand for anti-aging products, including many with hefty price tags that aren’t covered by health insurance. These include cosmetic surgery procedures at $10,000 or more, human growth hormone treatment at $15,000 per year and a skin-care product called Peau Magnifique that costs $1,500 for a 28-day supply.

Another challenge for consumers is that many dietary supplements and cosmetics, unlike prescription drugs and over -the-counter medicines, aren’t required to undergo government testing or review before they are marketed. The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission do crack down at times on egregiously false anti-aging claims, but generally there’s little protection for people who don’t get hoped-for results.

Mary Engle, director of the FTC’s division of advertising practices, said her agency focuses on the cases that could cause serious harm, such as bogus cancer treatments that might prompt an ill person to forgo proper care.

She said the agency lacks the

resources to crack down comprehensively on ads with exaggerated claims that exploit customers’ hopes for better looks or more energy.

“Often it doesn’t rise to the level of fraud,” she said. “There are so many problematic ads out there and we really have to pick and choose what we focus on.”

In contrast to the caution of mainstream organizations, there are many vocal promoters of anti-aging products and procedures, including the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

It hosts annual conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and claims 22,000 members, mostly physicians.

In its mission statement, the academy says the disabilities associated with normal aging “are caused by physiological dysfunction which in many cases are ameliorable to medical treatment, such that the human life span can be increased.”

One of the academy’s cofounders is Robert Goldman, a doctor of osteopathic medicine.

He contends that much of the resistance to the anti-aging movement comes from sectors of the health and pharmaceutical industries that feel threatened financially — for example by the surging use of over-the-counter nutritional supplements.

“It all has to do with who’s controlling the dollars,” he said.

Though many anti-aging interventions are expensive, Goldman said people on tight budgets still can take useful steps such as drinking purified water, taking vitamins and using sun screen.

“People should be healthy and strong well into 100 to 120 years of age,” Goldman says in a biographical video. “That’s what’s really exciting — to live in a time period when the impossible is truly possible.”

Olshansky, who over the years has been among Goldman’s harshest critics, believes there will be scientific breakthroughs eventually, perhaps based on studies of the genes of long-lived people, that will help slow the rate of aging.

In the meantime, Olshansky says, “I understand the need for personal freedom, the freedom to make bad decisions.”

A look at some of the major sectors in the anti-aging industry.

Hormone replacement therapy Numerous companies and clinics promote hor mone replacement drugs, including testosterone for men and custom-mixed “bioidentical” hormones for women, as a way to slow the aging process.

Many consumers have seen ads featuring muscle-bound Dr. Jef fry Life, now 72. He used testosterone and human growth hormone in his own bodybuilding regimen and recommends hormonal therapy for some of the patients patronizing his agemanagement practice in Las Vegas.

The FDA has approved hormone replacement drugs for some specific purposes related to diseases and deficiencies, but not to combat aging.

“Finding a ‘fountain of youth’ is a captivating story,” says the National Institute on Aging. “The truth is that, to date, no research has shown that hormone replacement drugs add years to life or prevent age-related frailty.”

Dr. Evan Hadley, director of the institute’s Division of Geriatrics, says hormone replacement drugs can have harmful side effects. He said there is a need for more research, such as

an institute study of testosterone therapy, to identify the potential risks and benefits.

“There is indeed potential that people can be healthier in old age,” Hadley said. “But it still requires evidence about what’s going to help and what’s not.”

Hormone drugs can be expensive. HGH shots can cost more than $15,000 a year, according to the institute. A hor monebased dietary supplement known as DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a precursor of estrogen and testosterone, is marketed online for $12.95 per capsule by Utah-based NutraScriptives.

Some proponents say over the-counter DHEA supplements can improve energy and strength, boost immunity and decrease fat. The institute says there’s no conclusive scientific evidence of any such benefits.

Life says he’s a staunch advocate of exercise and healthy eating, but insists that hormone replacement therapy, under a doctor’s supervision, is a crucial addition for some men, and that includes him.

“There’s no way I could look and feel the way I do if all I had done the last 13 years was exercise and eat right,” he said.

“Even if you do everything right, if you have a deficiency in testosterone, you will lose the fight.”

Life acknowledged that the cost of testosterone replacement, probably more than $5,000 year and not covered by insurance, could be daunting for some. But he contends the investment pays off in more vitality.

“It’s hard to put on price on good health,” he says.

Cosmetic Surgery According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were 13.1 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed in the U.S. in 2010, a 77 percent increase over a decade.

One notable trend is increased preference for less invasive procedures that enable patients to get back to work and social settings without a long leave of absence.

The most popular of these is treatment with the wrinklesmoothing drugs Botox or Dysport. They account for 5.4 million procedures, averaging about $400 per treatment. Other popular noninvasive procedures include soft-tissue facial fillers, chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

More invasive procedures

come at a higher price. Face-lifts can run from $6,000 to $15,000; the plastic surgeons’ academy reported performing 112,000 of them in 2010.

Dr. Peter Schmid, who runs a cosmetic surgery practice in Longmont, Colo., says his field is flourishing because of evolving attitudes among appearanceconscious boomers. A recent Associated Press-LifeGoes Strong.com poll found that 1 in 5 boomers either have had or would consider cosmetic surgery.

“Cosmetic surgery has become table talk at home. There’s a lot of satisfaction and acceptance from people who’ve had it, friend to friend, word of mouth,” Schmid said.

While the noninvasive procedures cost less than a face-lift, the effects won’t last as long and repeat treatments might be needed several times a year, Schmid said. He advised patients to calculate carefully which type of procedure makes the most sense for them financially.

Schmid, who is on the board of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, cautioned against any rush to try new procedures that get a burst of publicity.

“There’s a certain vulnerability because everybody’s looking for that quick fix, that fountain of youth,” he said. “Many people will shop emotionally instead of objectively, before something has been tried and tested.”

Some critics of the anti-aging industry are supportive of cosmetic surgery, provided the patient can comfortably afford it.

Professor Robert Binstock, an expert on aging at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine, told of a recently widowed friend whose spirits lifted after getting the bags under her eyes removed. “If you feel better looking in the mirror in the morning, fine,” he said. “I have no objection to people being narcissistic.”

Skin care One of the industry’s booming sectors is anti-aging skin care, featuring wrinkle creams and facial serums. By some estimates, the U.S. market for cosmeceutical products — cosmetics with medicine-based ingredients — is approaching $20 billion a year.

The FDA, which oversees cosmetic safety and labeling, does not require manufacturers to prove the effectiveness of cos-

metic products before they go on sale, and many ads make claims which critics say are exaggerated or unverifiable. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends consulting a dermatologist on what skin care products have been proved safe and effective in human studies.

Consumer Reports has ventured into the realm of antiaging cosmetics several times recently, using high-tech optical devices and other scientific methods to assess the products.

Last year, the magazine tested nine face serums, available at drug stores for prices ranging from $20 to $65 and all claiming to reduce wrinkles.

“After six weeks of use, the effectiveness of even the best products was limited and varied from subject to subject,” according to the review. “When we did see wrinkle reductions, they were at best slight, and they fell short of the miracles that manufacturers seemed to imply on product labels.”

Earlier, the magazine tested wrinkle creams.

“Even the best per for mers reduced the average depth of wrinkles by less than 10 percent, a magnitude of change that was, alas, barely visible to the naked eye,” it said.

Its top-rated product, Olay Regenerist, cost about $19 at the time of the testing. La Prairie Cellular, the most expensive at $335, was rated among the least effective.

Similar conclusions were reached in testing 16 over-thecounter eye creams.

“Even among the best-perfor ming products, wrinkle reduction around the eyes was generally pretty subtle,” the magazine said. “After six weeks of daily use, none came close to eliminating wrinkles.”

It said the most expensive, Perricone MD at $95 a jar, was no better than cheaper drugstore brands.

One recent development in anti-aging skin care is the use of stem cell technology. ReVive’s expensive Peau Magnifique is among the new products, claiming to “recruit adult stem cells into brand new stem cells.”

Neither Consumer Reports nor the FDA has conducted any specific assessment of Peau Magnifique’s effectiveness. On a Web site called Makeupalley.com, some customer reviews raved about it; others trashed it as a waste of money.

Deadline fast approaching for value-added producer grant applications

ALBUQUERQUE — USDA Rural Development State Director in New Mexico Terry Brunner announced that approximately $37 million in competitive nationwide grants are available to assist agricultural producers seeking to add value to the commodities they produce.

In making the announcement Brunner said, "These grants strengthen rural economies and create jobs by helping far mers and ranchers add value to their agricultural products by using them for planning activities such as feasibility

LOCAL

BUSINESS studies, marketing and business plans, or for working capital."

Planning grants up to $100,000 and working capital grants up to $300,000 will be awarded through USDA Rural Development's Value-Added Producer Grant program. Awards

may be for planning activities or working capital, but not for both. Businesses of all sizes may apply, but priority will be given to operators of small and mediumsized family far ms or ranches, beginning farmers or ranchers, socially disadvantaged far mers and ranchers, farmer or rancher cooperatives and midtier value chains. The program provides for streamlined paperwork for those applying for less than $50,000 for working capital grants.

Examples of eligible proposals could include pro-

cessing chile and tomatoes into salsa, grapes into wine or jelly, wool and mohair into weavings, and milk into cheese. In addition, the aggregation and marketing of locally produced food commodities or products within the state where the product is produced or with 400 miles from the origin of the production would be eligible grant purposes.

Applicants must provide matching funds equal to the amount of the grant requested. Working capital grants can be matched by the value of the Ag com-

modity that will be converted into the value added product.

The deadline to apply for a Value-Added Producer Grant is Monday, Aug. 29, 2011. Applicants are urged to contact Rural Development in advance of the deadline to discuss their application. The Rural Development State Office may be reached at 505761-4953.

Hawaii’s genetically modified papayas attacked Roswell Daily Record

HONOLULU (AP) — Thousands of papaya trees were chopped down on 10 acres of Big Island farmland under the cover of night last month. Hawaii County police said the destruction appeared to be done with a machete, but there are no leads and few clues beyond the tree stumps and all the fruit left to rot.

“It’s hard to imagine anybody putting that much effort into doing something like that,” said Delan Perry, vice president of the Hawaii Papaya Industry Association. “It means somebody has to have passionate reason.”

A growing theory among farmers is that the attack was an act of eco-terrorism, a violent protest against the

biotechnology used in growing papayas here.

Police did not respond to calls seeking comment.

The majority of papayas grown on 170 far ms on Oahu and the Big Island are genetically modified.

University of Hawaii scientists developed the genetically modified fruit that’s resistant to a ring spot virus that wiped out production on Oahu in the 1950s and was detected in the Puna district on the Big Island in the 1990s. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are crops whose genetic makeup has been altered to give the plant a desirable trait. The genetically modified fruit is credited with saving Hawaii’s $11 million papaya production industry.

“We wouldn’t have a papaya industry today if it weren’t for the transgenic papaya,” said Alicia Maluafiti, executive director of the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association, which represents the seed industry and protects biotech crop growers. “Without a transgenic papaya restricting the expansion of the virus, that virus would be prevalent today.”

Restricting the virus has also allowed for organic papayas to be grown, she said.

Without the transgenic papaya, the Vitamin Claden fruit would cost a lot more to enjoy, said Richard Manshardt, a tropical fruit breeder and geneticist at the University of Hawaii who was on the team that

developed the genetically modified fruit.

Kevin Richards, director of regulatory relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation, said he knows of no other crop that relies on biotechnology to save it from disease. Commodity crops such as cotton, soy and cor n commonly use genetic engineering in order to make them easier and cheaper to grow.

“Papaya would be unique in the sense where the industry in Hawaii is dependent on biotech,” said Richards. “What you have in Hawaii is a very contained, isolated agro-eco system, which is vulnerable to diseases.”

He cited inter national examples of eco-terrorism: activists who took weed-

whackers to test crops of drought-resistant wheat in Australia and test plots of biotech eggplants destroyed in the Philippines.

Hawaii’s papayas are held up as an example of how biotechnology can improve access to crops, Richards said.

That’s especially important in parts of the world with a limited food supply, Manshardt said, adding that genetic engineering could be used to protect cassava crops with severe virus problems in Africa and Latin America.

Hawaii farmers had no choice but to grow GMO papayas in order to survive, said Perry, whose organization has raised a $10,000 reward for information on the crop destruction.

“Papaya is the No. 1 fruit eaten in Hawaii,” he said.

One of the affected farmers, Erlinda Bernardo, said fellow papaya growers often worry about retaliation from those who are against GMOs. “Most of the product on the island is genetically modified,” she said. “If not, most of the farmers would suffer, there would be more unemployment.”

Bernardo, her husband and four children are preparing to plant again in another area after 3,000 trees worth $15,000 on five acres were leased destroyed. “We’re afraid to plant in that area, so we’re giving up the lease there,” she said. “When you start all over again, you have to wait a year for the papaya to bear fruit.”

Obama’s summer reading list

CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) — A vacationing President Barack Obama seems to be in search of drama, passion and intrigue — at least in his reading material.

The White House says Obama bought two books at a Martha’s Vineyard shop on Friday and brought three others from Washington for his 10-day stay.

One new book is “The Bayou Trilogy,” a collection of crime novels by Daniel Woodrell set in Louisiana swampland.

The other is “Rodin’s Debutante” by Ward Just, a coming-of-age novel set in mid-20th-Century Chicago.

He arrived with Abraham Verghese’s “Cutting for Stone,” a novel about Ethiopian twins who journey to America; David Grossman’s “To the End of the Land,” a turbulent family drama set in Israel; and “The Warmth of Other Suns,” an epic about America’s great migration, by Isabel Wilkerson.

Abuse of narcotic hydrocodone on the rise

NEW YORK (AP) — Health agencies and drug counselors are warning of a dramatic and dangerous rise in the abuse of medicines containing the narcotic hydrocodone, including Vicodin, Norco and Lortab.

Around the country, police seizures of hydrocodone-containing pills are second only to those of oxycodone, the related narcotic used in drugs like OxyContin and Percocet, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration review of police laboratories. Total seizures of hydrocodone pills rose from 13,659 in 2001 to 44,815 in 2010.

About 8 percent of the nation’s 12thgraders have abused hydrocodone in the last year, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

There are few national figures on deaths because many states lump hydrocodone, oxycodone and other opiates together when tallying fatal overdoses. But one study showed that in Florida alone, hydrocodone caused 910 deaths and was present in the bodies of 1,803 others between 2003 and 2007.

The increase is part of a growing wave of prescription drug abuse nationwide, the DEA says.

Pharmacy robberies have nearly doubled from 380 in 2006 to 686 in 2010, as drug dealers and desperate addicts turn to violence to get their drugs.

Growing up Muslim after Sept. 11 test of faith C6 Sunday, August 21, 2011

FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) — In many ways, Yousuf Salama is a typical teenager: He lives for football, worries about acne and would rather dash of f to see “Captain America” with friends than spend one more minute with his mother.

He’s aware, however, that his actions in particular can have greater meaning.

Yousuf is a Muslim, one of only two in an all-boys Catholic prep school in Southern California. He has been asked if he’s a terrorist and routinely shrugs off jokes about bombs and jihad.

“Sometimes I feel like I take it upon myself to be a better example,” he said on a recent evening after returning for a weeklong football camp.

Yousuf is among thousands of children who navigate every day the subtle and complex challenges that come with growing up Muslim in a deeply traumatized post-Sept. 11 America. Some were still in diapers and others in grade school when hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon a decade ago, but their childhoods have been deeply touched by the pain and anger of a nation struggling to come to terms with a day that, for them, represents the worst perversion of their faith.

For some, like Yousuf in Califor nia and others across the country, the bullying, the hard stares and endless defense of their identity has nurtured a deeper faith and a maturity and resilience that surprises even their parents.

“I tell them that when they’re out in the world, they represent the best of our community, they are our faith ambassadors,” said Kari Ansari, who was pregnant with her youngest child on Sept.

11 and lives outside Washington, D.C with her family. “They will have learned to have compassion for people who maybe don’t even deserve that kind of compassion — dealing with bigots and dealing with prejudice — and that’s a great life lesson.”

For Ansari’s oldest daughter, Aneesa, that lesson colors her earliest memories.

She started attending a private Muslim kindergarten in Denver just days before Sept. 11 and it shut down for two weeks after angry protesters gathered outside. It eventually reopened, but an armed security guard stayed on campus for almost a year.

Roswell Daily Record

A family prepares to break the Ramadan fast at their home in Fullerton, Calif., Aug. 7.

Today, the 15-year -old is deeply invested in her religious identity and exudes a quiet pride at being Muslim. She began wearing a head scarf in public without prompting in the fifth grade and has never removed it despite being cursed at while waiting in line at Ikea, stared at and pressured at school, she said.

Aneesa goes to the library during the lunch hour so she can observe the holy month of Ramadan (a month of no food or water from sunrise to sundown) and said she prefers to spend time with other Muslim teens to avoid the pressure to drink and do drugs.

Her mother worried that her young daughter would be pitied or discriminated against for wearing the hijab. But for Aneesa, wearing the head covering was a rebuke to those who dwelled on her differences and minimized her faith. Even at 11, she said, she was adamant that it was her choice and her identity.

“I have enough strength, I guess, to not be afraid of who I am,” Aneesa said. “It’s this pressure to change, people kind of hint that you don’t have to wear a scarf at school, they ask if your parents make you.

“Combatting that makes you a stronger person,” she said.

When the family moved from

Denver to a new school in the western suburbs of Chicago, her younger brother Sajid suddenly found himself the only Muslim boy in his grade in a tiny school district.

For three years, from the fourth to the sixth grade, he was relentlessly bullied by dozens of students who ganged up on him, called him a terrorist and ridiculed him for his faith.

In a sixth-grade art class, a group of boys passed him a note showing a drawing of the twin towers, with the words “Look familiar?” written below. On another occasion, he was walking his sister home in the snow when other students ambushed them with icy snowballs. One hit his face, leaving a bloody gash on his cheek.

Sajid’s grades plummeted and attempts to get adults to help led to more abuse, so he stopped telling his parents about what was going on.

“I just kind of felt like, ‘Why was I born at a time when people didn’t understand?’ I didn’t have any problem with being Muslim or being bor n that way,” said Sajid, now 13.

“Sometimes, I felt it was unfair that I was born at a time when all this was happening,” he said.

“It’s hard to

explain that you’re not the stereotype that’s put out.”

The Ansaris eventually moved to northern Virginia and put their children in a bigger and more diverse school district where Sajid has thrived.

Today, Sajid is open with classmates about his faith, explaining that he can’t eat pepperoni because Muslims don’t eat pork and talking with friends about the terrorist characters that represent the enemy on war-themed video games.

“When you are a person of faith you look at your life circumstances and every situation that comes up is a trial or challenge to you in your faith,” said Ansari, who works as a freelance marketing consultant. “We believe it’s God’s way of saying, ‘What are you going to do about this? Are you going to succumb to it or rise above it and show what the true story is?”

In Souther n Califor nia’s Orange County, Yousuf Salama, his 18-year-old sister Sarah and his 21-year -old brother Omar have spent years navigating the same types of challenges at their private, Catholic prep schools.

Their parents sent them there because of the top-notch educa-

tion and same-sex environment.

One of Yousuf’s friends asked if he was a terrorist after watching a TV program on Islamic extremism. His older brother, unusually tall and lanky for his age, was called “Twin Tower” at a seventhgrade flag football camp and quietly endured an endless loop of jokes: Do you have a bomb in your backpack? When do you leave for jihad?

Omar was 11 when the airplanes were hijacked and of the three siblings, he has the clearest memories of that day and its aftermath. He remembers thinking at the time that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan would change his life, too.

Over the years, he learned to restrain himself from physically confronting anyone who made fun of him, but he had his hardest test as a high school senior — six years after Sept. 11 — when a teacher asked him to read aloud in class. A fellow student leaned in, he recalled, and whispered: “Does your religion allow you to read?”

“I was this close to climbing over my seat and really messing him up,” Omar said.

He remembered thinking on that occasion and on many others that he should not react violently.

“If I did that ... the whole school would be thinking in the back of their mind, ‘Oh, there goes another Muslim. There goes Omar again, a typical Muslim — violent and angry,”’ he said.

Omar started high school “football crazy” and every bit the jock.

He played for his school’s powerhouse football team, fasting during Ramadan while doing two-aday workouts. Over time, as the teasing got to him, he distanced himself from school friends and spent more time at the mosque.

By his senior year, he had quit football and devoted himself to studying his faith so he could better explain Islam.

He attended more prayers, stopped swearing and improved his grades.

“If I’m being attacked by an individual or even just a curious individual, I have to be able to answer. I can’t just say, ‘I don’t know.’ It made me pick up a book,” he said. “In that sense, it’s changed my life.”

Roswell Daily Record

For some reality TV stars, turmoil follows fame LOS ANGELES (AP) — Reality came crashing in on Russell Ar mstrong. With the second season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” set to premiere in a few weeks, and a pending lawsuit and divorce, the venture capitalist-turned reality personality hanged himself.

Armstrong left behind no note explaining why, leaving others to indict and defend a genre that has seen its share of offscreen tur moil that often dwar fs the drama caught on camera.

The headlines include a murder, drug trafficking, overdoses, financial ruin, and custody disputes and divorces that play out in the tabloids as much as they do courtrooms. Experts caution reality TV is not solely to blame, but the full impact on its participants and audience is not yet known.

At least temporarily, Ar mstrong’s suicide has shaken one of the genre’s brashest franchises.

Bravo, which airs “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” is re-editing the show’s second season, which had planned to focus on the marital strife between Ar mstrong and his wife, Taylor. The network did not say how it would alter the unaired episodes, or whether it would incorporate any mentions of suicide prevention resources.

Beyond “Housewives,” few people, including Russell Armstrong’s own attorney, expect the suicide to have broad implications for the reality show industry.

“I don’t think it’ll make any dif ference at all,” attor ney Ronald Richards said in an interview. He said he hoped the show would remove Armstrong from its storyline altogether, but said his client had been warned of the pitfalls of appearing in a reality series before signing on.

“Housewives” has since its debut in 2006 thrived on the divorces, foreclosures and tempers of its well-heeled cast members’ lives. The Washington, D.C., version starred a couple accused of crashing a state dinner at the White House, and the first season of the New Jersey version ended with one housewife angrily calling a fellow cast member a “whore” and overturning a table while the woman’s children looked on.

Stars of current hit shows such as “Jersey Shore” have reveled in bad behavior, while even those that aim to help have been rocked by off-screen tragedy. Two alumni of “Celebrity Rehab” — actor Jeff Conaway and for mer Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr have died after their seasons aired.

Richard Hatch, the winner of the first season of the U.S. version of “Survivor” has waged a years-long battle over unpaid taxes and is currently in prison.

Also incarcerated is Adam Jasinski, the winner of “Big Brother 9” who is serving a four-year sentence after pleading guilty to possession with attempt to distribute oxycodone and failure to file a tax return for the year he won the reality show’s $500,000 prize.

The precise impact of the shows on their stars’ later lives is difficult to determine, yet the Ar mstrongs are just one of many couples whose relationship failures have been chronicled by reality TV. The TLCseries “Jon and Kate Plus 8” was upended after it was revealed the couple’s marriage was in shambles; the reconfigured show “Kate Plus 8” was recently canceled.

Younger parents are also fair game, with shows such as “Teen Mom” showing not only the custody struggles of young mothers, but a street fight that have ended with charges being filed.

“It’s really hard to know what would have happened to these people otherwise,” said Karen Sternheimer, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California. “We don’t have a control group of other drama queens.”

During his sentencing, Jasinski pleaded with a judge for leniency, saying he was being treated for bipolar disorder and had squandered his winnings.

“Give me a chance to get out and find out who I really am,”

The precise impact of the shows on their stars’ later lives is difficult to determine, yet the Armstrongs are just one of many couples whose relationship failures have been chronicled by reality TV. The TLC-series “Jon and Kate Plus 8” was upended after it was revealed the couple’s marriage was in shambles; the reconfigured show “Kate Plus 8” was recently canceled.

he begged a judge in January before being sent to prison.

Richards said he believes the show contributed to Russell Armstrong’s problems, but he doesn’t think producers or its network, Bravo, can be sued or punished.

“These are adults,” he said. “I think they have their own obligations.”

Most reality shows do some background checks on participants, but mistakes happen.

Screening of R yan Jenkins, a participant on the VH1 series “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” failed to turn up records that he had assaulted an ex-girlfriend in Canada. His checkered past was not revealed until after he was charged with killing his wife, a model whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase in Southern California with her teeth and fingers removed, in 2009. After evading authorities and reaching Vancouver, British Columbia, Jenkins killed himself in a hotel room.

Major productions use psychological testing to try to predict how participants will respond to the pressures of the show.

“That’s where the biggest problem lies as a psychologist,” said Dr. Richard Levak, who helped develop psychological testing for early seasons of “Survivor,” “The Amazing Race” and “The Contender.”

“You don’t know how they’re going to unravel,” he said.

Producers often want people on their shows who happen to have histories of being abused, depression or other issues. “The most colorful and interesting people were often the ones who have psychological issues,” he said, adding that sometimes the shows can be cathartic. Levak no longer does psychological consults on reality series.

“It just became too stressful for me to keep getting the equation exactly right,” he said.

Bravo did not respond to an inquiry about whether it screened “Beverly Hills” participants or offered them any counseling during or after taping.

Conflict and competition have been staples of the genre since its beginning, with documentary-style shows now seemingly trying to fill a quota of cast members who fit specific roles and will take a no-holds barred

approach to everything from their drinking to their love lives.

The series credited with being the first reality show, “An American Family,” featured its share of upheaval. The eldest son of the Loud family revealed during the series that he was gay, and his mother announced her intention to get a divorce while the cameras rolled. Both made for groundbreaking television, and the show differed radically from today’s heavily-marketed fare. “American Family” aired on PBS in the early 1970s.

Levak, whose practice is based in the coastal city of Del Mar, Calif., said he fears the drive to produce new, more compelling shows is causing some producers to cut corners.

Doing a psychological evaluation on each participant is expensive, and Levak doubts many shows are spending the money. Each show is trying a new angle, and the pool of people willing to put their lives on screen has been diluted by this point, he said.

“You’ve got this perfect storm scenario where you’re looking for more and more twists, more kind of sensational TV. Your pool of eligible (participants) gets smaller, (there are) more

shows and shows that are doing it on a shoestring and don’t test,” he said. “We’re going to see more casualties.”

Sternheimer, the USC sociologist who recently released a book titled, “Celebrity Culture and the American Dream: Stardom and Social Mobility,” said the desire to appear on reality shows is linked to the longstanding American ideal of success.

“It reinforces this notion that there’s an endless amount of economic opportunity in the U.S.,” she said. “Reality is, most of them are not going to really see the big payday,” she said.

Reality TV participants — those who appear in front of the camera — aren’t supervised or covered by unions or entertainment industry watchdogs. They exist in a gray area in Hollywood — and increasingly in other parts of the country — that allows many reality shows to be produced for much less than a scripted show starring professional actors. During the Writers Guild strike in 20072008, reality shows blossomed as networks put the brakes on scripted shows and plugged their scheduling holes with reality fare.

Stuart Fischoff, a professor who founded the journal Media Psychology, said shows such as “Housewives” have taken a unique place in American culture, but don’t necessarily reflect society at large.

“These shows are really not average Americans anymore,” he said. “You have a lot of exhibitionists and people who want to get into the biz who are sacrificing themselves.”

Richards said in his client’s case, he was willing to join “Housewives” to support his wife and build his own brand.

“They prey on an addiction more powerful than heroin or Oxycontin, which is the addiction of being famous,” Richards said.

Fischof f said he was surprised that producers and networks hadn’t developed a better support system for the former reality star akin to the advocacy group that now lobbies for child actors. “You’re going to have all these people who are walking wounded,” he said.

Richards doubts any support network will ever emerge. “I don’t think there’s a lot of sympathy for these people,” he said.
