CHICAGO (AP) — Nicholas Mackara isn’t about to drive over to his parents’ house for Thanksgiving to sit down to a dish of some fancy homemade cranberry sauce that Martha Stewart might serve. He’s so determined that his cranberry sauce come from a can that he assigns himself the job of bringing it.

Russia may target US missile shield

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia threatened on Wednesday to deploy missiles to target the U.S. missile shield in Europe if Washington fails to assuage Moscow’s concerns about its plans, a harsh warning that reflected deep cracks in U.S.-Russian ties despite President Barack Obama’s efforts to “reset” relations with the Kremlin.

President Dmitry Medvedev said he still hopes for a deal with the U.S. on missile defense, but he strongly accused Washington and its NATO allies of ignoring Russia’s worries. He said Russia will have to take military countermeasures if the U.S. continues to build the shield without legal guarantees that it will not be aimed against Russia.

The U.S. has repeatedly assured Russia that its proposed missile defense system wouldn’t be directed against Russia’s nuclear forces, and it did that again Wednesday.

The phrase conjures thoughts of a bitter rivalry between two of the state’s best prep football programs that has spanned more than six decades.

This week, that phrase means a trip to the 4A state championship game for one and the end of a season for the other.

John Avey creates Santa’s Village at the Roswell Mall Wednesday morning, preparing for the arrival of the man from the North Pole which is scheduled for Friday morning at 11 o’clock.

A family will have a special reason to be thankful this year due to the Roswell Police Department, the Roswell Safe Coalition, Kmart and other area stores.

On Tuesday, burglars hit the home of a child who had received gifts from the Make-AWish Foundation in August.

The 13-year -old boy’s room was specifically targeted, and he lost everything that he received from the foundation.

When he heard about the incident, Roswell Police Chief Al Solis decided to take action.

“I’m donating some of my own money and I’ve called the Roswell Safe Coalition. They’re

going to contribute, and we’ll see what we can do to make sure that this family has a good Thanksgiving.”

After speaking with the mother, Solis called Kmart to see if they had his favorite game. “They decided to donate the game. We’re going to take it over there now.”

The family refers to him as their miracle child. He was born with a heart condition and has been through open heart surgery.

“I feel so bad for him,” said his mother, Tanya. “Before the foundation granted his wish, someone at his school stole his cell phone. ... His wish was a shopping spree and he bought See RPD, Page A3

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico regulators have initiated an investigation into a recent decision by the state’s largest electricity provider to close its remaining walk-in payment centers around the state.

The Public Regulation Commission, in an order released late Tuesday, said it wants to determine if the move by Public Service Company of New Mexico is consistent with statutes and commission rules and whether it’s in the public’s best interest.

“Among the matters that should be investigated and determined in this case is the impact that the closure of PNM’s payment centers will have on the ability of PNM’s customers to pay their utility bills in a timely and economic manner and to resolve and address service issues,” the order reads.

The commission has scheduled a public hearing in Albuquerque on

Dec. 7 to discuss the matter. It’s also requiring PNM to post a notice of the order at its payment centers.

PNM has already posted signs in the centers — from Deming and Lordsburg to Alamogordo and Las Vegas — informing their customers of the pending closures.

PNM announced earlier this month that it would shutter the eight payment centers by the end of the year. Since the centers represent the most expensive form of processing customer payments, the utility said it stands to save more than $500,000 a year and that savings would be taken into account the next time regulators deliberate PNM’s electric rates.

Customers who do not use the offices still help pay for them since operating costs are included in electric rates, the utility said.

The holiday season is no excuse to pause

Roswell’s Adopt-a-Soldier program — in fact, it’s the drive behind what’s kept it bustling in recent weeks.

Thanks to the massive

community support for the Wall of Honor at Bank of America, recognition of veterans past and present is made highly visible inside the bank. Aside from the flags, children’s drawings and keepsakes of military service, the Wall of Honor has accrued hundreds of pounds of donated goods that have already been sent overseas to deployed soldiers.

The donations have helped Adopt-a-Soldier reach a significant number — more than 100,000 pounds of goods accrued for the sake of deployed soldiers.

“It took us 10 years, but I think that’s pretty amazing,” said Nicole Vargas, founder of the Adopta-Soldier program.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With a wave of his hand, President Barack Obama on Wednesday gave two plump turkeys a Thanksgiving reprieve, noting that without his intervention, “they’d end up next to the mashed potatoes and stuffing.”

The of ficial national Thanksgiving turkey is a 19-week-old, 45-pound bird named Liberty. Its alternate, also spared, is a turkey of the same age and size named Peace.

Liberty sat calmly as Obama, accompanied by daughters Sasha and Malia, offered a blessing, his hand over the turkey’s head. Obama said Liberty had the distinction of being “the luckiest bird on the face of the Earth.”

“Right now, he’s also probably one of the most confused,” Obama said.

Obama jokingly cast his pardon as yet another of

his “We Can’t Wait” initiatives. “Recently, I’ve been taking a series of executive actions that don’t require congressional approval,” the president said. “Well, here’s another one. We can’t wait to pardon these turkeys.”

In a more sober tone, Obama called on Americans to remember the meaning of Thanksgiving and to be mindful of those who have less.

“Let’s think about those who can’t spend the holiday with their loved ones, especially the members of our military serving overseas,” he said. “I’d like to thank all our men and women in unifor m, and their families, for their incredible service and devotion.”

Salazar: No new federal Medicare chief steps aside limits on target shooting

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Wednesday it will not impose new restrictions on recreational shooting on public lands, a Thanksgiving gift for thousands of gun owners and hunters concer ned about a draft plan to limit target shooting near residential areas.

The policy, proposed this summer, could have closed millions of acres of federal land to gun use, a prospect that caused alarm among gun owners, particularly in the West, where target shooting on public land is a longtime tradition. Hunting season for deer and other game begins around Thanksgiving in many states.

Officials said they were trying to ensure public safety in rapidly growing areas of the West, where some residents have clashed with gun owners who use public lands for target practice.

In a memo obtained by

The Associated Press, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said his department supports opportunities for hunting, fishing and recreational shooting on federal land.

“By facilitating access, multiple use and safe activities on public lands, the Bureau of Land Management helps ensure that the vast majority of the 245 million acres it oversees are open and remain open to recreational shooting,” he wrote.

Rep. Denny Rehberg, RMont., who had sharply criticized the earlier proposal, said Wednesday he was glad the Obama administration had reversed course.

“But it would be a lot better for everyone if they stopped doing things to restrict gun rights that require them to back off in the first place,” said Rehberg, a frequent Obama critic who is challenging incumbent Sen. Jon Tester,

D-Mont., next year.

The BLM said in announcing the draft policy on recreational shooting that many areas previously used for target practice are now too close to houses or other development. By 2020, such “hot spots” were projected in all 48 continental states, the BLM said.

The BLM draft plan would have provided gun owners with a map of nearby areas suitable for target practice.

The Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council, an advisory committee of conservationists and outdoors groups, expressed concern over the draft plan. Instead of restricting recreational shooting, the government should provide improvements for safe shooting such as berms, benches and target holders, the group said.

New Mexico Centennial selling fast; hurry if you want one JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Those wishing to get their hands on a copy of the book New Mexico Centennial better act fast.

The book, which focuses on New Mexico’s first century of statehood, is a collaborative effort of newspapers across New Mexico and is selling quickly, according to Charles Fischer, Daily Record publisher.

The coordinators of the book are the Rio Grande Sun, Albuquerque Journal, The Taos News, The Las Cruces Bulletin, Sangre de Cristo Chronicle, Number Nine Media Inc.,

Freedom New Mexico and the Roswell Daily Record.

Fischer said each of the newspapers divided up the various territories in the state to cover, with the Albuquerque Journal completing an overview of the state’s history.

The book details New Mexico’s history from 1912 to 2012. Jan. 6, 2012, will be a historic occasion for the state, marking its 100th birthday.

Fischer said the idea behind the book was to create a centennial book that would highlight New Mexico and its history.

Fischer said he was pleased with the finished product. He called the

overall feel and look of the book excellent. Fischer also complimented the historical photographs throughout the book.

The book is currently available at the RDR for its pre-sale price of $19.95. After Sunday, Nov. 27, the book will be available for $29.95. In total, 65,000 books were printed. The RDR has already sold 400 copies of the book. Only 750 books were allotted for the area of Roswell, Carlsbad, Hobbs and Artesia. Fischer said those wanting to purchase the book should do so soon as he does not expect there will be a second printing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The point man for carrying out President Barack Obama’s health care law will be stepping down after Republicans succeeded in blocking his confirmation by the Senate, the White House announced Wednesday.

Medicare chief Don Berwick, a Harvard professor widely respected for his ideas on how to improve the health care system, became the most prominent casualty of the political wars over a health care overhaul whose constitutionality will be now decided by the Supreme Court.

Praising Berwick for “outstanding work,” White House deputy press secretary Jamie Smith criticized Republicans for “putting political interests above the best interests of the American people.” will be Berwick replaced by his principal deputy, Marilyn Tavenner, formerly Virginia’s top health care official.

The White House said Obama will submit Tavenner’s nomination to the Senate.

Tavenner has been at Medicare since early last year, earning a reputation as a problem solver with years of real-world experience and an extensive network of industry contacts. A nurse by training,

the 60-year-old Tavenner worked her way up to the senior executive ranks of a major hospital chain.

She ran Virginia’s health department under former Democratic Gov. T im Kaine.

Berwick’s fate was sealed early this year when 42 GOP senators — more than enough to derail his confirmation — asked Obama to withdraw his nomination. He remained as a temporary appointee, and his resignation takes effect Dec. 2.

Berwick’s statements as an academic praising Britain’s government-run health care had become a source of controversy in politically polarized Washington. Although he later told Congress that “the American system needs its own solution” and Britain’s shouldn’t be copied here, his critics were not swayed.

A pediatrician before becoming a Harvard professor, Berwick has many admirers in the medical community, including some former Republican administrators of Medicare. His self-styled “three-part aim” for the health care system includes providing a better overall experience for individual patients, improving the health of groups in the population such as seniors and African-Americans, and

President signs NM disaster declaration UNDATED (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration covering state, tribal, and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by flooding last August.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday federal funding is available to state, tribal, and eligible local governments.

The money covers emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by flooding in Cibola and Sandoval counties and in the Pueblo of Acoma and the Pueblo of Santa Clara.

FEMA officials say additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

Rig count drops by 1 HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. dropped by one this week to 2,000.

Houston-based drilling product provider Baker Hughes Inc. reported Wednesday 1,130 rigs were exploring for oil and 865 for natural gas. Five were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago this week the rig count stood at 1,687.

Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma gained five rigs, California and Pennsylvania rose by four each, North Dakota was up two and Colorado one.

Texas declined by eight, West Virginia two and Louisiana, New Mexico and Wyoming one apiece.

Alaska and Arkansas were unchanged.

lowering costs through efficiency.

But some of his professorial ruminations dogged him in Washington.

Republicans accused him of advocating health care rationing, which Berwick denies.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, RUtah, said Berwick’s past record of controversial statements and his lack of experience managing complex bureaucracies disqualified him from the Medicare job. Hatch, the ranking Republican on the Senate panel that oversees Medicare, led the opposition to his nomination. Hatch said Wednesday the Senate must “thoroughly examine” and “carefully scrutinize” Tavenner’s nomination.

Berwick oversaw the drafting and rollout of major regulations that will begin to reshape the health care system, steering Medicare away from paying for sheer volume of services and procedures and instead putting a premium on quality care that keeps patients healthier and avoids costly hospitalizations. He also presided over significant improvements for Medicare beneficiaries, including better coverage for preventive care and relief for seniors with high prescription drug costs.

The rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981.

A low of 488 was recorded in 1999.

Suspected fraud at NMSU LAS CRUCES (AP) — New Mexico State University has launched an investigation of an employee for allegedly defrauding the university of more than $25,000 in false reimbursements.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports the school’s chief auditor gave campus police eight reimbursement vouchers submitted between June and August by an International Programs employee, who he said appeared to be charging the department for fraudulent travel expenses.

A police report says after the worker submitted the reimbursement voucher and was paid, the employee allegedly altered the end-of-month balance sheet on the university’s computer system to show the funding going to “bookstore charges.”

Police seized the employee’s computers to prevent her from altering the files.

The decision to close the centers was driven partly by the fact that only 10 percent of its customers use the walkin centers to pay their bills, PNM spokeswoman Valerie Smith said. PNM serves about 500,000 customers around the state.

This year, electronic payments eclipsed even mail as the preferred means of payment, Smith said.

“We owe it to our customers to run our business as ef ficiently as possible,” she said in an email to The Associated Press.

PNM is using direct mailings, bill inserts and signs at the payment centers to inform customers about other options for paying their bills, including on the utility’s website, through online banking websites, by phone and at Western Union locations.

New Energy Economy executive director Mariel Nanasi accused PNM of engaging in a “pattern of economic and environment betrayal.”

“PNM pretends to care about the little guy when it is convenient,” she said.

PNM denied those claims, saying it always looks for ways to keep electric rates as low as possible.

As part of the Public Regulation Commission’s investigation, the agency has asked PNM to identify all commission orders from the last eight years that place restrictions or conditions on the utility’s ability to make changes to its operations or staffing levels.

The commission also wants to know whether PNM conducted any studies or focus groups before deciding to close the payment centers.

Commissioners could decide at the public hearing to issue a stay, which would delay the closures until the investigation is complete.

Thompson said the tribe is also talking with state and federal officials about getting the necessary endorsements for building a casino.

John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. “It is ... designed to help deter and defeat the ballistic missile threat to Europe and to our allies from Iran.”

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said the United States will continue to seek Moscow’s cooperation, but it must realize “that the missile defense systems planned for deployment in Europe do not and cannot threaten Russia’s strategic deterrent.”

But Medvedev said Moscow will not be satisfied by simple declarations and wants a binding agreement.

The birds’ home state of Minnesota will surely spur analysis about the value of sparing turkeys from a political battleground state ahead of an election year. But the motives might be simpler — Minnesota produces more turkeys than any other U.S. state.

Obama said the students trained the turkeys to face the White House press corps by exposing them to loud noises and flash bulbs.

“They also received the most important part of their media training, which involved learning how to gobble without really saying anything,” he said.

Liberty and Peace will retire to the historic home of George Washington in nearby Mount Vernon, Va. to put it on paper in the form of precise and clear legal obligations, we hear a strong refusal.”

Medvedev warned that Russia will station missiles in its westernmost Kaliningrad region and other areas, if the U.S. continues its plans without offering firm and specific pledges that the shield isn’t directed at its nuclear forces. He didn’t say whether the missiles would carry conventional or nuclear warheads.

In Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was “very disappointed” with Russia’s threat to deploy missiles near alliance nations, adding that “would be reminiscent of the past and ... inconsistent with the strategic relations NATO and Russia have agreed they seek.”

“Cooperation, not confrontation, is the way ahead,” Rasmussen said in a statement.

The U.S. missile defense dispute has long tarnished ties between Moscow and Washington. The Obama administration has repeatedly said the shield is needed to fend off a potential threat from Iran, but Russia fears that it could erode the deterrent potential of its nuclear forces.

“If our partners tackle the issue of taking our legitimate security interests into account in an honest and responsible way, I’m sure we will be able to come to an agreement,” Medvedev said. “But if they propose that we ‘cooperate,’ or, to say it honestly, work against our own interests, we won’t be able to reach common ground.”

Moscow has agreed to

The birds are larger than the average U.S.bred turkey. According to the Agriculture Department, the U.S. turkey industry produces more than 250 million birds a year, with each live bird averaging about 25 pounds.

consider a proposal NATO made last fall to cooperate on the missile shield, but the talks have been deadlocked over how the system should be operated. Russia has insisted that it should be run jointly, which NATO has rejected.

Medvedev also warned that Moscow may opt out of the New START arms control deal with the United States and halt other arms control talks, if the U.S. proceeds with the missile shield without meeting Russia’s demand. The Americans had hoped that the STAR T treaty would stimulate progress in further ambitious arms control efforts, but such talks have stalled because of tension over the missile plan.

OPINION

Udall pitches fear, embraces liberal fairy tale

Words matter.

This week we consider 17 words from Sen. Tom Udall. We will consider what he really said (not much), his being wrong and his continued embrace of the liberal Democrat fairy tale that is a huge obstacle to dealing with the coming national financial disaster.

Note that conservatives have their fairy tale — no tax increase at all — but it’s Udall for this column.

Udall was commenting on a proposal to change cost of living adjustments on federal entitlement programs to a chain-weighted approach. In early November he told the Albuquerque Journal, “While I would consider reasonable changes to the cost-of-living adjustment, pushing our seniors into poverty is a nonstarter.”

As compared to the regular consumer price index, the chainweighted approach gets complex, but produces better numbers, as I understand it. The Ogden, Utah, Standard-Examiner

EDITORIAL

HAROLD MORGAN

NEW MEXICO PROGRESS

(www.standard.net/authors/tomphilpott) straight forwardly explains the approach. (Thank you, Google.)

An index change wouldn’t matter much to start but would produce major savings over time. To make the change seems obvious, especially because it wouldn’t change policy or the moral and philosophical basis of the programs, it would only change arithmetic.

To be fair to Udall, outgoing Sen. Jeff Bingaman didn’t like the proposal. Nor did Reps. Steve Pearce (the delegation’s only Republican), Martin Heinrich and

Roswell Daily Record

Ben Ray Lujan. The three cited the usual social victims: Pearce, “many seniors;” Heinrich, “most vulnerable seniors and women;” Lujan, “seniors and low-income families.”

Politicians are trained to talk in specific-sounding, code-laden generalities. (Think “working families.”) Udall has been a politician a long time. He’s part of a political family. In becoming a lawyer, he got academic training in obfuscation. In other words, Udall is good at this stuff.

Udall’s statement has two parts that don’t relate beyond the attempted rhetorical seduction.

Udall didn’t specify what would be “reasonable changes,” allowing him to appear reasonable without committing to anything. Cute.

Then there was the phrase, “pushing our seniors into poverty.”

Shudder in fear.

Udall didn’t say he was talking about all seniors, though that seems the implication.

For sure, he also didn’t say, “some” seniors, which would have opened him to the question of which seniors might be pushed.

For him to cast the specter of “all” seniors being pushed into poverty gets into demagoguery. It ain’t gonna happen. Of course such a notion is a nonstarter.

Raising it ought also to be a nonstarter.

“Poverty” is hardly a precise concept. The Census Bureau just changed the definition and ignored some things. The poverty definition changes were a PBS Newshour topic Nov. 7.

Ron Haskins of the liberal-leaning Brookings Institute said the elderly, especially low-income elderly, get more Medicare benefits than they have in income, including Social Security. Haskins said the Medicare benefits are “totally ignored. So we’re still spending billions and billions of dollars on the elderly to help them with their medical problems. But because

they still have out-of-pocket expenditures, it increases their poverty rate, and we ignore the Medicare that we’re spending on them, not to mention that we don’t say a thing about their wealth, which is probably 20 times greater than that of children.”

While political talk deals with excess — how else does one get attention — there comes a time to back off and look for solutions.

Refusing to entertain change to entitlements, the Democratic mantra, means retreating into a fairy tale, as Robert Samuelson, Washington Post columnist, has suggested.

I don’t know Tom Udall well, but he is smart and decent. He should look within his mega-liberal approach to the world and find solutions. Entitlements must change. And yes, Republicans, there must be a few new taxes or loophole closings or whatever they are called.

Driving a bad bargain on GM bailout

The U.S. government shouldn’t be playing the stock market with Americans’ tax money.

But that’s what it did in 2009 when it bailed out General Motors and Chrysler, which, combined, received $85 billion from the Bush and Obama administrations. Both companies were restructured under President Barack Obama.

The U.S. Treasury issues monthly reports on how the bailout is progressing. Its latest report, released last week and covering the period ending on Sept. 30, found that the government now expects to lose $23.6 billion from the bailout. That’s up $9 billion in one month.

In May, Chrysler repaid its government loans; so the culprit now is a sharp decline in GM stock, down by one-third in the quarter which ended Sept. 30, to $20.18 a share.

Since then, GM stock has risen a little, to $21.79 on Nov. 17, or 8 percent. The government, as majority shareholder, owns 500 million shares of GM stock, so that’s a “paper” increase of $800 million, narrowing the loss to $22.4 billion.

President Obama has touted this bailout as saving hundreds of thousands of jobs. No doubt he will use the bailout next year against his Republican rival. All the GOP presidential candidates say the bailout was a bad idea.

The president and other defenders of the bailout ignore the observations of French economist Frederic Bastiat (1801-50) in his essay “What is Seen and What is Not Seen.”

The economist meant we must look deeper than what is first apparent. In this case, we see autoworkers receiving paychecks and the continued viability of the larger supply chain of companies to all automakers. But here’s what we don’t see: First, there’s the money taken from taxpayers, who might have put it to better productive use in their own lives.

Second, the “restructuring” had a number of adverse effects: One-quarter of GM and Chrysler dealerships were closed within three months of the firms’ bankruptcies, John Berlau told us; he’s the director of the Center for Investors and Entrepreneurs at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Those jobs all were eliminated.

Next was the “rip-off of the bondholders and secure creditors,” Berlau said. In a normal bankruptcy, such people — the actual owners of the company — are paid off first from the company’s assets. Both GM and Chrysler still were viable companies, with factories and inventory. But those assets effectively were taken over by the government, with large shares given to the United Auto Workers union.

Berlau pointed out that stiffing the bondholders and creditors also made other contracts in America less secure and fueled investor worry over where government might decide to intrude next.

Finally, the government intervention shut off other potential avenues GM had to work out its own problems; notably, the 2009 bailout lessened the pressure on GM to come to a deal to sell the since-defunct Saturn line to Penske Automotive Group. Instead, Penske withdrew the bid, Saturn production was ended, and the jobs were lost.

In short, the moment that GM is fully private cannot come soon enough.

Everybody’s different, and napping is both good and bad, depending on who you are. If you have trouble sleeping nearly every night, and as a result feel tired during the day, napping in the evening is a bad idea. Evening naps make it harder to fall asleep at bedtime. Long naps at any time of day often make you sleep less soundly that night.

On the other hand, suppose you have an occasional bad night’s sleep. Maybe there is stress at work, or child-car e demands or a noisy neighbor. Whatever the cause, a nap the next day can be a good idea. It doesn’t disrupt your nighttime sleep, and increases your total sleep time. That’s true whether you

Napping usually is helpful, because it incr eases your total sleep time.

And napping provides an additional bonus: It helps you think and function better.

Increased gross receipts tax

Dear Editor: GM bailout costs taxpayers $12 billion. Solyndra costs taxpayers $453 million. Beacon Energy costs tax payers $43 million. Harrisburg Pennsylvania bankruptcy costs taxpayers more than $400 million. Manny Aragon steals hundreds of thousands in taxpayer money. New Mexico Education Retirement Board loses $25 million to Bernie Maddoff, mistakenly gives away $1.6 million dollars to 200 members, fails to read its contract with its investment firm resulting in a loss of $700,000.

Bill Richardson hires 3,000 cronies, plunders the surplus, spends the federal stimulus funds on welfare, builds the Rail Runner, puts the New Mexico taxpayers $600 million in debt. And Roswell funds Santa Fe Cookie Company. All of the above debacles were caused by politicians or their appointees who believed they understood business. As a result, both politicians and private citizens lined their pockets, and you paid for it all.

Now Mayor Del Jurney and a few of his buddies want $1.2 million of our money annually to pursue similar actions. Dream on Mr. Mayor. That much money is an invitation to crony capitalism, and an incubator for corruption. And the “culturally diverse” committee won’t have the faintest idea what to do with it. Why not some intellectual diversity, perhaps someone who understands economics, investments and money? This is about money, is it not? This is a committee of Gummi

around. Yet no debate moderator asked Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore what steps they would take, if elected, to help diffuse this threat.

It’s easy to forget sometimes that the president is also the commander -in-chief. Maybe it’s human nature to want to forget. After all, who wants to dwell on the fact that it’s dangerous out there, especially when we have enough problems at home?

But when you consider our position in the world, and what it takes to make sure that we remain secure, we see the need to be prepared — not just in a general sense, but to anticipate specific threats and figure out how to deal with them.

only offer such fallacious arguments as that if the Earth were older than a few thousand years, there should be no carbon-14 in coal deposits. This ignores the fundamental fact that cosmic rays, which penetrate the Earth to great depth, continually convert nitrogen-14 to carbon-14 (specifically, changing a proton to a neutron so that nitrogen-14’s seven protons and seven neutrons become six protons and eight neutrons, which is carbon-14), so that the presence of carbon-14 is continually replenished. That is real science.

As usual, our young-Earth enthusiast denies any validity to evolution, in spite of overwhelming evidence for it in the science of genetics alone, for anyone who cares to look at the established facts. A quick example: If human life has not evolved, why does Human Chromosome Two contain a string of telomere code in the middle, proving that a splice occurred a very long time ago, much longer than the young-Earth people say we have been around? And why does the recurrent laryngeal nerve in humans make no sense in terms of economy of function, but did make sense in the aspect of fish anatomy from which it has derived?

This is certainly more suggestive of the quirkiness of evolution than of “intelligent design.”

Please, if we’re going to talk science, let’s make it real science, and not a lot of hooey designed to protect some belief system that some folks perceive to be threatened by fact.

Sincerely, Donald R. Burleson, Ph.D. Roswell policy. It’s crucial that we hear, for example, what they would do to ensure that Iran doesn’t wind up armed with nuclear weapons. Or how they’d handle trade with China. Or what they would do to help b r in g p eace to t h e M id d le E ast . Or h ow t h ey ’d respond to religious persecution. Or what they think about foreign aid. And so on.

We need to hear more from the candidates on these and other related topics. That’s what led Heritage to join with the American Enterprise Institute and CNN to sponsor a debate on foreign policy and national security.

As President Reagan once said, “The task that has fallen to us as Americans is to move the conscience of the world, to keep alive the hope and dream of freedom.” But it won’t happen automatically. It takes action. So let the debate begin.

•Maintain your health.

Don’t eat or drink excessively, make sure you get plenty of rest and stay on your exercise program. (If you’re not on an exercise program, start your New Year’s resolution list!)

Depression is quite different from holiday blues. It can and should be treated.

If your “blues” last more than two weeks, you may want to talk to your doctor.

Are you feeling tired and disinterested? Do you no longer enjoy the things you used to enjoy? Are you sleeping and/or eating more or less? Do you have trouble concentrating? Do you feel excessively sad or hopeless or anxious? Do you feel unloved and worthless? Do you think about death and maybe

even suicide?

Do not ever feel weak for having the above symptoms. Adults, and particularly men, think they’re strong enough to overcome depression — they should be able to handle it. Hogwash. Depression is an illness just like diabetes or cancer or heart trouble. It can be treated, and there’s no shame in seeking help.

But if it’s just those holiday blues, let your local senior organizations help!

And Happy Holidays!

The holidays … A time to celebrate family and friends. But for many, it’s a difficult time. For seniors, it can be extremely tough, especially if they’ve lost a spouse or live far away from children and grandchildren.

Those in the mental health field are still debating whether “holiday blues” are real or whether it’s just people over -extending themselves and creating a lot of stress for themselves.

But certainly we all have memories of Christmases past that can be perceived as long lost and never to be regained and the sadness can be overwhelming — if we let it.

Following are some tips to help you through the season: •If you have legitimate reasons to feel sad, such as the loss of a spouse, acknowledge those feelings — they’re normal. Express the grief or sadness to loved ones. But try to leave the past in the past and look forward to the changes in your life. I used to have a boss who said, “It’s not a problem — it’s an opportu-

nity!”

•Do something for someone else. Volunteering can be very rewarding, whether you’re helping a large number of people at a community kitchen or just one person who might be homebound.

•Enjoy the activities, many of which are free, that are available to you.

Drive around and look at the Christmas lights, go window shopping, make a snowman with neighborhood children and participate in the many functions offered by Senior Circle, the Roswell Adult and Senior Center and the JOY Center.

•Spend time with supportive and caring people and reach out and make new friends. Call someone you haven’t heard from in awhile.

Free legal help available for those facing foreclosure

Homeowners will have an opportunity to attend a seminar with a foreclosure defense attorney on Friday, Dec. 2, in either Portales or Roswell. The workshop in Portales will start at 1 p.m. and will be held at the Roosevelt County District Courthouse. The workshop in Roswell will start at 1:30 p.m. and will be held at the Chaves County Courthouse.

Homeowners in New Mexico are being foreclosed in increasing numbers — as many as 1,000 each month throughout the state, with most concentrated in urban areas. A foreclosure is a lawsuit filed in a county district court, usually when a homeowner has fallen behind on their monthly mortgage payment.

Because so many homeowners are unrepresented in their court cases, United South Broadway Corp. has started an educational program that provides homeowners with the basic information needed for participating in the lawsuit.

United South Broadway Corp.’s Fair Lending Center is a non-profit law office that provides counsel to homeowners qualifying for free legal services. The Fair Lending Center recently received a grant from the New Mexico State Bar Foundation Pro Hac Vice Fund to present a series of informational seminars on the foreclosure process throughout the state. The goal of these workshops is to provide defendant homeowners with enough information to respond to a complaint for foreclosure, and to make them aware of possible foreclosure alternatives.

During the workshop, homeowners are provided with legal forms and informational brochures as well as information about resources available to help them. The homeowner will learn how to prepare and file an answer with the court, as well as what alternatives are available, such as loan modifications.

This event is free and open to the public. Participation is limited as space allows. Translation services may be provided by calling (505) 764-8867 x 231 at least 3 days in advance.

Roswell Daily Record

Cranberry in a can sacred on many holiday menus CHICAGO (AP) — Nicholas Mackara isn’t about to drive over to his parents’ house for Thanksgiving to sit down to a dish of some fancy homemade cranberry sauce that Martha Stewart might serve.

He’s so determined that his cranberry sauce come from a can that he assigns himself the job of bringing it.

It’s a thing of beauty on his holiday table, a log-shaped gelatinous roll with ridges that signal to purists like himself that no one is trying to put an imposter on the menu.

“I think the ridges are the most important part,” said the 21-year-old resident of Clementon, N.J. “Then you know it definitely came from a can and our mom didn’t make her own (cranberry) sauce and put it in a cylinder shape before we got there.”

If Thanksgiving is a time for a family meal, it’s also a time for a recurring debate: Should the sauce come from the can or a time-honored family recipe?

Though it’s impossible to tell how many others have drawn that line in the stuffing over this Thanksgiving staple the way Mackara has, it’s clear he’s got a lot of company. Ocean Spray, the nation’s largest producer of cranberry sauce, reports that of the 86.4 million cans it sells a year, 72 million of them are sold between September and the end of December.

On Facebook, groups devoted to canned cranberry sauce have popped up — from the one Mackara and a friend, Alexandra Shephard, launched a few years back called “Cranberry Sauce in the shape of the can makes my Thanksgiv-

ing” to “When Cranberry Sauce comes out of the can with ridges.” There’s also one called “Cranberry Sauce is only good if it’s in the shape of a can,” which includes the motto: “If it ain’t from a can, it’s garbage.”

In an era where there are television networks devoted to home cooking and dietitians warn against the dangers of processed foods, the love of canned cranberry can seem like a bit of a dietary discord. Devotees of canned cranberry sauce say the reasons begin and end with the past, and that the sight of the glistening can-shaped tube of jelly conjures up memories of Thanksgiving meals of long ago.

“It looks like a log of happiness,” said Shannon Ervin, a 24-year-old mother of three in Harahan, La., who can’t remember a Thanksgiving when canned cranberry sauce wasn’t served.

Sandy Oliver, a food historian, said it would be hard to overstate the importance of canned cranberry sauce to some families, particularly for a holiday in which even the slightest change in the menu is viewed as a treasonous offense.

“You don’t mess with Thanksgiving,” said Oliver, co-author of “Giving Thanks: Thanksgiving Recipes and History, from Pilgrims to Pumpkin Pie.” “If you grew up with canned cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving, that is what will taste right for you at the table and if you do something else it is going to be at variance with your childhood memory.”

As a result, normally sophisticated eaters load up their plates with the same green bean casseroles, Jell-O salad —

heavy on the mini marshmallows — and the white bread stuffing their parents piled on their plates when they were busy kicking their brothers and sisters under the table.

“My aunt one year brought over the homemade kind and nobody but her ate it,” said Heather Hoffman, a 24-year-old Chicago teacher, who has had canned cranberry sauce since her grandmother served it when she was a little girl.

Robert Sietsema has heard those kinds of comments before. The New York writer recently included canned cranberry sauce among his five worst Thanksgiving dishes for a blog on the Village Voice and can’t believe anybody would eat canned cranberry sauce if they didn’t have to.

“I hate it, it’s just awful,” said Sietsema. “To begin with, nobody eats things from cans any more if they can afford not to.” Especially, he says if it’s “some kind of freak Jell-O.” Maybe so. But Alexandra Shephard arrived at her parents’ house in Williamsburg, Va., from her home in Orlando, Fla., this week fully expecting the familiar sight of cranberry sauce sliding from the can to a dish.

“I remember how intrigued I was at the lump of red jelly stuff that retained the shape of a can,” said Shephard, who started the Facebook page with Mackara a couple years back. “I don’t remember actually eating it (but) I remember it was always at the table.”

Her father, she said, would only eat the canned sauce so eventually she got her courage up and tried homemade cranberry sauce even though she knew she didn’t

like the taste of the bitter little red berries. And she liked them, precisely because it didn’t taste like cranberries.

She looks at it as a feat of engineering that the can-shaped sauce can keep its figure for hours. And she eats it because, just as Oliver suggested, she likes the uncranberryness of sauce, from the texture to the sweet taste.

For Bruce Scheonberger, presentation is everything. That helps explain why the 54-year-old Toledo attorney was eager to share a technique that ensures the cranberry sauce he puts on the table this Thanksgiving will look exactly the same as it always has.

After completely opening one end of the can, he makes a small opening in the other end. “You blow in it gently and it slides out and retains all of its ridges,” he said. “I have it sitting straight up like a can.”

Burial will follow at Hondo Cemetery. Elizabeth was cremated according to her wishes.

Elizabeth was born April 2, 1964, in Ruidoso, to Manuel G. and Emilia Sutherland Torrez. Her parents preceded her in death.

Ronny Reyes

Ronny Reyes passed away on Monday Nov. 14, 2011, from a long term illness at St. Catherine’s Rehab Center in Albuquerque. He was born in Roswell, on Nov. 28, 1958, to Joe and Patricia Reyes.

He was preceded in death by his father Joe Hernan-

disparate careers.

“My focus now is really, rather than nurturing the creative soul, I’m trying to nurture the human body through traceable food sources and keeping it all local,” T imothy Willms mused during a recent tour of his 460-acre property.

Besides being pretty, the turkeys are friendly. The feathers on Willms’ slew of heritage Standard Bronzes and Rio Grande Wilds were barely ruffled when visitors entered their enclosure on a recent Saturday.

“They’re very curious,” Willms said.

Willms’ turkeys wander freely in an enclosure strewn with grass and water bowls. They can fly, if they choose, into a larger area, also fenced in. It’s part of Talus Wind’s commitment to humanely rais-

ing healthy animals.

“One of the best ways to engage people with food is to reveal the story of the animal’s life and the life of the people who raise it,” Willms said.

Eventually, the turkeys will make their way to Willms’ slaughterhouse in Mountainair. This Thanksgiving, Willms expects to sell about 175 birds.

Most of the turkeys, thanks largely to a recent Sunset magazine feature on Talus Wind, are going to individual households this holiday, though a few chefs are serving them in local restaurants.

Willms said his birds have a unique, delicate texture. The white meat isn’t “that kind of pasty white,” but rather has “a soft almond tone to it.”

“When you’re eating these turkeys, they taste like turkey. There’s a taste

Ronny is survived by his mother Patricia Vigil Neatherlin; two sisters, Agna Bravo, of Farmington, and Sharon Hoskinson and her husband Gene, of Albuquerque; and four brothers, Joe Reyes and his wife Emma, of Aztec, Stanley Reyes and his wife Ramona, of Oklahoma City, Mike Reyes and his wife Trudy, of Irving, Texas, and Patrick Vigil, of Albuquerque; and many cousins, nephews and nieces. Ronny served with the U.S. Army and had a general discharge in 1978.

He was a resident of Roswell, and worked in construction.

Ronny enjoyed visiting with his many relatives and friends.

Funeral services were conducted by the Riverside Funeral Home in Albuquerque and memorial services will be held at the Assumption Catholic Church, in Roswell, on Monday Nov. 28, 2011, at 12:10 p.m., by the Rev. Joseph Pacquing, with burial at the Assumption Columbarium. A military honor guard will be present for the burial.

Ronny will be greatly missed by his numerous relatives, friends and all who knew him and loved him. The family would like to extend its appreciation to the staff and healthcare team at St. Catherine’s Rehab Center and Hospice of the Sandia’s team for the

compassion and health care given to Ronny.

The spirit of our loved one has not left us, but has moved inside our heart to live, never to be forgotten.

Among other things, the ratio of white meat to dark meat is more evenly distributed in a heritage turkey than in the Broad Breasted White turkey, the most dominant supermarket breed today.

Broad Breasted Whites’ large size, due to selective breeding, prevents them from flying and makes mating and even walking troublesome.

Massive, tightly controlled “factory farm” operations have made them relatively cheap, however, and certainly less expensive than the average heritage turkey.

For now, Talus Wind turkeys remain mostly a holiday special, though Willms said he hopes to eventually make them available year-round.

Willms said he sees animals raised for slaughter as a gift.

“That’s why I feel at peace with thanking them for their transition from pasture to plate. Because I revere them and I know that they are a living being,” he said. “In their sacrifice, I should be cognitive of the fact, ‘Well, when am I going to do good today?’ rather than it just being a self-serving commodity.”

Bahrain report: excessive force in crackdowns MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — With Bahrain’s king watching, the chief investigator asked to probe his government’s crackdowns gave a blow-by-blow reckoning Wednesday of torture, excessive force and fast-track justice in attempts to crush the largest Arab spring uprising in the Gulf.

The investigator, Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni, also said there was no evidence of Iranian links to Bahrain’s Shiite-led protests. That was a clear rebuke to Gulf leaders, who accuse Tehran of playing a role in the 10month-old showdown in the Western-allied kingdom.

The 500-page study — authorized by Bahrain’s Sunni rulers in a bid to ease tensions — marks the most comprehensive document on security force actions during any of the revolts that have flared

across the Arab world this year. It also displayed a stunning image of a powerful Arab monarch facing a harsh public reckoning, as King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa listened somberly to a bullet-point summary of the report’s conclusions.

At least 35 people have been killed in violence related to the uprising, including several members of the security forces.

It appeared unlikely that even the strong criticism would satisfy opposition forces, who accused the Sunni monarchy of using all methods at its disposal to avoid sharing power with the nation’s Shiite majority. Just hours before the long-awaited report was released, security forces used tear gas and stun grenades in the latest of nearly daily clashes on the strategic island, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.

“What is really needed is

to hold the perpetrators responsible and bring them to justice,” said Khalil al-Marzooq, a senior official with the biggest Shiite opposition party, Al Wefaq, which pulled out of parliament this spring to protest the harsh tactics against protesters.

In Washington, the White House commended the king for appointing the commission and said in a statement that it is “incumbent upon the gover nment of Bahrain to hold accountable those responsible for human rights violations and put in place institutional changes to ensure that such abuses do not happen again.”

The inquest was seen as a bold step in a region of monarchs and sheiks who rarely acknowledge shortcomings or face uncomfortable criticism in public.

Bahrain’s government promised “no immunity”

Canadian polygamy ban upheld VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A Canadian judge ruled Wednesday that the country’s anti-polygamy law is valid and that the har ms polygamy inflicts on women and children outweigh any claims to religious freedom.

The chief justice of British Columbia’s highest court, Robert Bauman, said in an individual ruling that banning the practice only minimally impairs the religious rights of fundamentalist polygamous Mormons.

Bauman accepted evidence that polygamy leads to harms including physical and sexual abuse, child brides, the subjugation of women and the expulsion of young men who have no women left to marry.

“This case is essentially about harm ... to women, to children, to society and to the institution of monogamous marriage,” wrote Bauman.

“There can be no alternative to the outright pro-

hibition,” he added.

“There is no such thing as so-called ‘good polygamy.”’

Upholding the law could lead to prosecutions in a small, polygamous community in British Columbia. The case is expected to be appealed to Canada’s Supreme Court.

Prosecutors seeking clarity on the law brought the case after another judge threw out polygamy charges against Winston Blackmore and James Oler in 2009. Blackmore and Oler are rival bishops of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Bountiful, a polygamous community of about 1,000 residents.

Blackmore has been accused of having at least 19 wives, and Oler at least 3.

FLDS members practice polygamy in arranged marriages, a tradition tied to the early theology of the Mormon church. The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter

23 killed in western Mexico, 16 of them burned

CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) — Sixteen men were shot dead and burned in two pickup trucks in the western city of Culiacan, officials said Wednesday, and seven other people were slain in the same state.

Neighbors called police after seeing a pickup truck on fire early Wednesday in the Antonio Rosales neighborhood of Culiacan, capital of the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa, said state Attorney General Marco Antonio Higuera Gomez.

Investigators found 12 bodies on the bed of the truck, some of them handcuffed and wearing bulletproof vests, Higuera said.

He said authorities are trying to determine if some of the victims are part of a group of nine people, including three local police officers, who were kidnapped in the town of Angostura on Monday.

Minutes after the first fire was reported, authorities received another call about a pickup truck burning behind a store. Police found four bodies inside that vehicle, and one had been decapitated.

Higuera said all 16 had been shot.

In two other almost simultaneous attacks hours later, four men were shot to death in the town of Mocorito and another three in the town of Guamuchil, Higuera said. He said police are still investigating if the attacks are related.

Sinaloa, which is home of a major drug cartel named for the state, which has been fighting the Beltran Leyva drug cartel since it split off in 2008.

Bachmann: Fallon song choice shows sexism, bias

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann lashed out Wednesday at NBC for not apologizing or taking immediate disciplinary action for an off-color song played during her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night.”

In her first comments on the flap, Bachmann said on the Fox News Channel that the Fallon show band displayed sexism and bias by playing a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song as she walked onstage for Tuesday’s show. The title of the song is “Lyin’ Ass B——.”

“This is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite,” Bachmann said. She added, “This wouldn’t be tolerated if this was Michelle Obama. It shouldn’t be tolerated if it’s a conservative woman either.”

She went further on a national radio conservative radio show hosted by Michael Medved, calling the incident “inappropriate, outrageous and disrespectful.”

Fallon has tweeted an apology to Bachmann, saying he was “so sorry about the intro mess.”

for anyone suspected of abuses and said it would propose creating a permanent human rights commission.

Bahrain’s Shiites comprise about 70 percent of the island nation’s 525,000 citizens. They have complained of widespread discrimination such as being blocked from top government or military posts. The monarchy has offered some concessions, but refused to bow to protest demands to surrender control of all top positions and main policies.

“A number of detainees were tortured ... which proved there was a deliberate practice by some,” s a i d B a s s i o u n i , wh o s e report covered the period between Feb. 14 and March 30.

Cherif Bassiouni, second from left, head of the commission charged with investigating Bahrain's uprising which took place earlier this year, presents a report to Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, second from right, in Sakhir Palace in Sakhir, Bahrain, Wednesday. has taken a cautious line because of what’s at stake: urging Bahrain’s leaders to open more dialogue with the opposition, but avoiding too much public pressure.

In a statement Wednesday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry

said the report is an important moment for Bahrain that has lived through a year of events that were “highly traumatic.”

“Political reform in Bahrain will not come easily, but it is critical for the healing process,” Kerry said.

Day Saints renounced polygamy in 1890, but several fundamentalist groups seceded in order to continue the practice.

Blackmore has long claimed religious persecution and denial of a constitutional right to religious freedom.

Anne Wilde, a Mormon fundamentalist from Utah who testified at the hearings, said Utah’s community will be generally disappointed by the decision. Wilde, co-founder of a plural culture advocacy group, is a widow who was one of three wives when her husband was alive.

“It’s too bad that they have trouble separating the crime from the culture,” said Wilde, who disagrees that there are har ms inherent to polygamy. “There are already laws in place to address any criminal activity in any marriage lifestyle. Why don’t they go ahead and enforce those laws rather than single out our culture?”

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Goddard vs. Artesia.

The phrase conjures thoughts of a bitter rivalry between two of the state’s best prep football programs that has spanned more than six decades.

This week, that phrase means a trip to the 4A state championship game for one and the end of a season for the other.

“If you don’t win, you’re finished,” said Rocket coach Sam Jernigan. “We’re pretty experienced at that because it happened to us last year.

“From that end, the kids want to keep playing, and so does Artesia. It’s going to be a tough battle.”

Last year, Artesia beat Goddard 38-29 in the state semifinals en route to its 27th state championship.

That loss ended an undefeated run for the Rockets.

Jernigan isn’t willing to say that the semifinal loss last year drives his Rockets this year, but he did say that there are things they can learn from that game.

“I think there’s some things that we can learn from

that game,” he said. “But, overall, this is a different group of kids and there’s a different chemistry amongst these kids.

“I think they are very well aware, but I don’t think (last year’s loss) is the focus.”

David Anaya is one of those kids who is well aware of what it means to play Artesia at this point of the season.

How Anaya does on Friday will be one of the biggest deciding factors.

“Without a doubt, moving the ball on the ground has been a big part of what we’ve done all year and it’s going to be a big part of this game,” Jernigan said about the importance of Anaya, who is 358 yards shy of passing Fort Sumner’s Lance Fikany as the state’s second all-time leading rusher. “It’s going to be a lot on his legs; how well he makes cuts and how well we block for him.

“It’s been that way for a couple of years now.”

Perhaps the biggest difference between this year and last year is the site of the game.

Last year, Artesia hosted the semifinals at the Bulldog Bowl, where the Bulldogs

TEXANS PLACE SCHAUB ON IR

BUFFALO RB JACKSON PLACED ON IR

OORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have placed running back Fred Jackson on seasonending injured reserve because of broken bone in his lower right leg.

The move was made Wednesday, hours after coach Chan Gailey said Jackson wouldn’t play in Sunday’s pivotal game against the New York Jets.

Jackson had his best season cut short after getting hurt in the second half of Buffalo’s blowout loss Sunday at Miami. He ranks third in the NFL with 934 yards rushing and trails only Chicago’s Matt Forte with 1,376 yards from scrimmage.

Backup C.J. Spiller becomes the new starter.

To help offset the loss, Buffalo signed running back Tashard Choice on Wednesday. Choice was released by Washington on Tuesday after starting the season with Dallas.

have lost just twice in the playoffs in the past 30-plus years.

This year, though, Goddard hosts the game at the Wool Bowl.

“I think we’re fine either way, I really do. I don’t think it makes much difference,” Jernigan said. “But, I think the kids do like playing at home and I think we’ll probably get better community support playing at home.”

The one certainty in the matchup is that neither Jernigan or Artesia coach Cooper Henderson is going to shock the other.

E-mail: sports@roswell-record.com

“He’s always got a couple of wrinkles for me and I’ve always got a couple of wrinkles for him, but when it’s all said and done, we know each other pretty well,” said Jernigan. “There will be points in the game where you’ve got a pretty good idea what the other guy is going to do.

“But, obviously, his offense is not really predictable. Who he throws the ball to or whatever on each play is sometimes a mystery to everybody but the quarterback. That’s what kind of makes it fun; every year, it’s a challenge.”

This year will mark the

sixth playoff meeting between the two teams. Artesia has won three of the previous five playoff games between the two (2006, 2007 and 2010).

Goddard’s playoff victories over the Bulldogs came in the 1991 state championship (28-14) and the 2008 state semifinals (42-7).

The Rockets have won five of the last six meetings overall — including 21-14 on Oct. 21 — but Artesia still leads the all-time series 33-14-1. kjkeller@rdrnews.com

Ex-Gator coach Meyer says no offer at OSU

NATIONAL

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans placed quarterback Matt Schaub on injured reserve and signed quarterback Kellen Clemens.

Schaub is gone for the season with a right foot injury suffered in Houston’s win over Tampa Bay last Sunday. He met with several doctors, including a specialist in Charlotte, who determined he’ll need season-ending surgery on the Lisfranc injury.

Matt Leinart will start for Houston (7-3) in Jacksonville (3-7) on Sunday. Clemens becomes the backup and rookie T.J. Yates, a fifth-round pick, is No. 3 on the depth chart.

Clemens tried out for the Texans on Monday, along with Jeff Garcia, Trent Edwards, Brodie Croyle and Chase Clement.

Clemens had an edge because he was in training camp with Washington and coach Mike Shanahan, Houston coach Gary Kubiak’s former mentor.

In this Sept. 11, 2010, file photo, Florida coach Urban Meyer points to the field as he protests a call by referees during an NCAA college football game against South Florida, in Gainesville, Fla.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Despite numerous reports saying he’s all but set to become Ohio State’s next football coach, Urban Meyer said Wednesday that is not the case.

“I have not been offered any job nor is there a deal in place,” the former Florida coach said in a statement released through ESPN, where he is a college football analyst. “I plan on spending Thanksgiving with my family and will not comment on this any further.”

Several websites, TV stations and The Columbus Dispatch have reported that Meyer has reached an agreement in principle with Ohio State and, barring any last-minute problems, will be introduced as the Buckeyes’ coach next week.

People within the athletic department and close to the team told The Associated Press the job has not been of fered to Meyer and nothing has been completed.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because the coaching search is supposed to be confidential. Athletic director Gene Smith declined to comment Wednesday.

Ohio State, under interim coach Luke Fickell, plays at No. 17 Michigan on Saturday. Fickell, who some reports have said will be retained on Meyer’s staff, declined to address the story, which has been percolating for days.

“No. I won’t,” he said Wednesday. “It’s not about that. I’m going to have enough respect for this football game to make sure it’s about this football game. I don’t think

Texas and A&M meet for what could be last time

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — The winner of Texas and Texas A&M’s annual game usually gets a year of bragging rights in this football-crazy state.

The victor of Thursday night’s showdown will get to boast about this one for a lot longer than that.

It is Texas A&M’s last Big 12 game before the Aggies move to the Southeastern Conference next season.

They hoped to continue the rivalry, which began in 1894, but the Longhorns have said their schedule is full through 2018.

The possibility that this could be the last meeting between these rivals has taken this already heated matchup to another level.

Texas coach Mack Brown talked to his players about the shot to go out on top.

“You should enjoy this because this could the last time that Texas ever plays Texas A&M,” Brown said he told them. “If that happens, you’ve got something to talk to your kids about, your grandkids about, you’ll be part of history. I also told them ... you’d like for it to be a good memory.”

The Longhorns got Brown’s point loud and

clear.

“This game will be remembered. The score will be remembered, just because it is the last one in a long series,” Texas safety Blake Gideon said.

Texas A&M defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter and coach Mike Sherman conveyed a similar message to the Aggies.

“This game’s never just another game,” DeRuyter said. “The fact that it’s the last one for a long time has coach Sherman and I have (saying): ‘It’s the one you’re going to remember for years, 15 or 20 years down the road you’ll be talking about it. It’s your chance to affect that.”

There’s never been any love lost between the state’s two largest universities separated by little more than 100 miles. They pride themselves on their differences.

But the circumstances surrounding the end of the rivalry have caused even more animosity.

After all those years, all the storied games and players, the end came in a hurry. Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said in August that the Aggies were considering a depar-

ture from the Big 12 after months of barely disguised angst over Texas and its Longhorn Network as well as the future of the league.

Loftin called it a “100-year decision” and said he had approached the SEC commissioner back in July.

From then on, it was just a matter of time before the Aggies left.

“We would love to see A&M in the conference,” Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said then. “(But) if they feel they have to go, we wish them the very best.”

Loftin has been outspoken about his desire to continue the rivalry with Texas.

“I think that Texas A&MTexas can continue to be one of these great rivalries that captures the attention of fans from both the SEC and the Big 12, as well as of college football fans across the country,” he said. “This game is truly bigger than the presidents, athletic directors and coaches of these two great universities, and I fully hope that we will meet again on the football field at some point in the future.”

See LAST?, Page B2

this is the time and the place.”

Speaking briefly to reporters, he was asked if he knew if a decision on a new coach had been made yet.

“I know there’s a game at noon on Saturday,” he said.

Meyer is from Ashtabula and was a graduate assistant at Ohio State under Earle Bruce in the 1980s. He grew up an Ohio State fan and has said he has a portrait of legendary Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes hanging prominently in his home.

In addition to winning national titles in Florida in 2006 and 2008, he has also been a head coach at Bowling Green and Utah and worked as an assistant at Notre Dame, Colorado State and Illinois State.

He announced in December 2009 he was stepping away from coaching because of health concerns, but quickly changed his mind. After taking a leave of absence, he returned to the sidelines for the 2010 season and then retired again in December.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said he would welcome Meyer back into the coaching fraternity.

“Urban Meyer is a very good coach, he’s a good teacher. He’s good for young people,” Saban said on the Southeastern Conference coaches conference call this week.

“If coaching is in his heart, I think that’s what he should do.”

AP Sources: Talks resume toward ending NBA lockout NEW YORK (AP) — Talks aimed at ending the NBA lockout have resumed, two people with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday, with a quick settlement necessary to start the season by Christmas.

The discussions began quietly Tuesday and are expected to continue through the Thanksgiving holiday, the people told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the talks were supposed to remain confidential.

The talks between representatives of the owners and players are now centered on settling their lawsuits: The players filed an antitrust lawsuit against the league in Minnesota and the league filed a pre-emptive suit in New York, seeking to prove the lockout was legal.

Because the union disbanded, it cannot negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, but the settlement talks could lead to that. The CBA can only be completed once the union has reformed.

Neither side commented on the talks, first reported

by Yahoo Sports, though the league said in a statement it “remains in favor of a negotiated resolution” to the lockout.

The news revived the hopes of saving the Christmas slate, when the league schedules some marquee matchups to kick off its national TV package. The NBA finals rematch between Dallas and Miami was to headline three games this season Commissioner David Stern has said it would take about 30 days from an agreement to the start of the regular season, meaning a deal may need to be reached by the end of this week.

The league had wanted to open a 72-game schedule on Dec. 15, pushing the start of the playoffs and finals back a week, if players had agreed to the last offer. But See NBA, Page B2

Rangers offer LHP Wilson salary arbitration

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have offered salary arbitration to C.J. Wilson, guaranteeing them two extra draft picks next year if the free agent lefthander signs with another team.

Wilson was ranked a Type A free agent after going 16-7 with a 2.94 ERA last season. He has until Dec. 7 to accept the offer.

The Rangers added free agent closer Joe Nathan this week and said they planned to move closer Neftali Feliz to the rotation.

The Rangers said Wednesday the new labor deal also allows them to receive compensation for Type A free agent left-hander Darren Oliver without having to offer him arbitration.

Texas didn’t offer arbitration to four unranked free agents where no compensation applies: left-hander Michael Gonzalez, right-hander Brandon Webb, catcher Matt Treanor and outfielder Endy Chavez.

Twins agree to terms with Doumit

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Coming off another injury-shortened season, Ryan Doumit was looking for a chance to get a lot of at-bats and show everyone that he can make it through an entire season healthy.

So he chose the Minnesota Twins, who are desperate to add some offensive punch behind Joe Mauer at catcher and also have room for him in the outfield and at designated hitter.

The Twins on Wednesday agreed to terms on a $3 million, one-year deal with the former Pirates catcher who played in only 77 games last year because of a broken left ankle.

Doumit has had trouble staying on the field during his seven seasons in the league, but when he has been healthy he has proven to be a dependable offensive threat.

The 30-year-old Doumit hit .303 with eight homers and 30 RBIs in 77 games for the Pirates last season. He can also play in the outfield, DH and work his way in at first base in a pinch, giving the Twins some muchneeded versatility.

“I looked at it as an opportunity to be versatile, catch a little bit, DH a little bit, maybe play a little outfield,” said Doumit, who also had an offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“An opportunity to stay healthy and get some at-bats. ... It’s something that I was very excited about.”

Doumit said he was looking for a oneyear deal to give him the chance to increase his stock by showing that injuries are behind him. He has topped 80 games in a season just three times.

“I kind of look at it like freak things,” Doumit said. “I don’t think it has anything to do with conditioning and I don’t think it has anything to do with anything other than this is a rough game and I play a rough position. ... That’s what we sign up for (as catchers).

And I’m certainly not going to shy away from that.”

The Twins know all about the toll that playing the position can take.

Joe Mauer only played in 82 games last season due to a mix of leg injuries and illness, and the Twins are hopeful but still unsure of how their franchise player will bounce back next season.

“I’m very excited. He’s the best in the business,” Doumit said of Mauer. “It doesn’t get much better than him. It’ll be nice to pick his brain a little bit and bounce ideas off each other. I’m very excited to team up with him and hopefully we can learn a lot from each other.”

With Mauer on the DL, backup catchers Drew Butera (.167) and Rene Rivera (.141) were liabilities on offense, which prompted GM Terry Ryan to go looking for an upgrade on the open market.

“We just didn’t have enough depth in offense out of the position when Joe went down,” Ryan said.

The Twins also have a hole in right field at the moment, with free agents Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel not expected to return next season. Doumit could fill in there as well, though Ryan said the Twins signed him as a catcher “first and foremost.”

Doumit’s versatility allows for the possibility the Twins will keep three catchers on the 25-man roster next season, meaning Butera’s days with the team aren’t necessarily numbered. The Twins still think highly of Butera’s defensive abilities.

“Butera has got a little more polish

much bigger than me ... realignment has been really emotional for everybody in college football. We’ve seen changes I never thought we’d see.”

Though the game is always meaningful because of the rivalry, there isn’t a lot riding on this year’s matchup, with both teams mired in mediocre seasons.

Neither team is ranked or in contention for the Big 12 title. Since both teams already have six wins the game won’t be like last season when A&M’s 24-17 win kept the Longhorns from qualifying for a bowl game.

Still, players from both teams know that fans are never OK with a loss in this game.

“If you lose to them, the whole town turns on you,” Texas A&M defensive back Terrence Frederick said.

“That’s every year. We lost a few games this year, but defensively and Ryan has a lot more polish offensively,” Ryan said.

The Twins are still considering all their options for outfield spots — including Cuddyer and Kubel — as well as looking for a new closer now that Joe Nathan has signed with the Texas Rangers. Ryan said they do not want to give the job to setup man Glen Perkins, arguably the Twins’ best pitcher last season, because he does not have the experience of closing games.

Ryan also said the team is offering arbitration to Cuddyer and Kubel, who are expected to reject it in favor of getting longterm deals on the open market. The team does not have to offer reliever Matt Capps arbitration thanks to a rule change in the new collective bargaining agreement.

people say: ‘It doesn’t matter as long as you beat Texas.”’

Young said he had many friends who played for the Aggies and he never let an opportunity pass to talk about the game.

“You get to talk trash all year ’round ... and then, you know, going down and playing at their field and vice versa, them coming to our field, so ... it’s a lot of history with it,” he said.

“You don’t lose to A&M, that’s one thing you don’t do,” he said with a laugh.

Texas A&M broke a three-game losing streak last week with a 61-7 win over Kansas. The Longhorns have lost two in a row heading into the game.

The Aggies could be without running back Cyrus Gray, whose status is uncertain because of a stress fracture in his left shoulder. Gray, who has

more than 1,000 yards rushing this season, ran for 223 yards and two scores in last year’s win over Texas.

If he can’t go, Texas A&M will have to rely on sophomore Ben Malena and freshman Will Randolph, who made his college debut last week.

The Longhorns have their own troubles on offense, with quarterback David Ash struggling in a 17-13 loss to Kansas State last week.

After losing two turnovers in that game, Brown could go back to Case McCoy as the starter this week.

Brown wouldn’t say who would start against the Aggies, but whoever it is will certainly have to find a way to help the offense score more points to compete with Texas A&M. The Longhorns have scored just 18 points in the last two games combined while the Aggies have piled up 111.

Patriots’ Ross Ventrone is at home on waiver wire

PF 293 228 237 193

Joe Carpenter

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — It’s Wednesday, so Ross Ventrone is on the waiver wire again.

The New England Patriots released the safety for the seventh time this year, letting him go to make room for offensive lineman Donald Thomas two days after Thomas was released so Ventrone could be activated for Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But don’t worry about Ventrone. If history is any guide, he’ll be back with New England soon: He’s been on the transaction wire a total of 17 times this calendar year already.

That’s not a taxi squad. That’s more like the Green Line trolley, complete with regularly scheduled stops.

“He’s not frustrated at all,” Ventrone’s agent, Gregory Diulus, said Wednesday as he waited to see if Ventrone would clear waivers. “The team likes him. They like his productivity on game day. He played really well this past week in particular. They are also having issues with juggling their roster and having as many productive players as possible.”

A 5-foot-8, 190-pound defensive back and special teamer who was undrafted out of Villanova, Ventrone has been active for six games, with one special teams tackle.

He has filled in on defense in case of injury.

“Look, in the end you play in a game or you don’t — that’s what it comes down to,” coach Bill Belichick said last week. “You get prepared to play every week and if the coaches give you the opportunity to play, you play. If the coaches don’t, then as a player you take what you learned that week and get ready for next week. He’s done a great job with that. Outstanding. He’s been ready.”

Belichick also praised Ventrone last week for his ability to deal with an unusual situation.

“We’ve had other guys along with him that have been on and off ... the roster, but probably none more than him,” Belichick said. “He might lead the league in transactions. He has to be right up there. But he’s handled it great.”

Diulus said the team is not allowed to make any promises when Ventrone is released, and any other team is able to claim him. Ventrone doesn’t take it personally, and he sees it as one way to help out the team.

Ventrone, who was cut last Tuesday and added to the practice squad Thursday, said he just wants to play. He was promoted from the practice squad Monday and played in that night’s game.

“He loves the Patriots,” Diulus said. “He loves the situation there. In his opinion, he is a member of that team. He believes in everything that’s going on there.”

Ventrone originally was signed by New England after the 2010 draft; he was cut and re-signed once during training camp and again during the season.

The team brought him back in January, and since then he has been: cut, signed, cut, added to the practice squad, activated from the practice squad, cut, added to the practice squad, activated from the practice squad, cut, signed, cut, added to the prac-

Saban said. “As you learn these things, sometimes things change in terms of what his direction is. I think everybody has to do that, and I don’t think anybody should be criticized for that.”

Jim Tressel was pressured to resign on May 30 after 10 years as the coach of the Buckeyes.

His downfall came about when it was learned that he knew that several of his players had accepted cash and tattoos from a tattoo parlor, the focus of a federal drug-trafficking

tice squad, activated from the practice squad, cut, added to the practice squad, activated from the practice squad and cut again.

“To be bounced around like that, it is pretty unique,” Ventrone said in the locker room Friday. “I’m going to prepare like I’m going to play. I don’t look at it any differently than if I was here the whole time. I don’t get discouraged. ... I just hope they bring me back, and they have so far.”

AP source: Chiefs claim Orton off waivers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the Kansas City Chiefs have claimed former Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton off waivers.

The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs had not announced the move. Coach Todd Haley declined to discuss Orton when asked about him earlier in the day.

Kansas City was in the market for a veteran quarterback after Matt Cassel went down with a season-ending injury to his throwing hand. Orton became available when the Broncos waived him Tuesday.

The former Chicago Bears starter, who passed for more than 3,000 yards each of his first two seasons in Denver, was benched six weeks ago after getting off to a 1-4 start. The Broncos eventually decided to go with Tim Tebow as the starter, making Orton expendable.

Painter gets nod over Orlovsky as Colts QB

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Curtis Painter’s struggles, an 0-10 record and fans clamoring for a quarterback change hasn’t swayed Colts coach Jim Caldwell.

On Wednesday, Caldwell told players and reporters that Painter will make his eighth start this Sunday against Carolina.

“Curtis has not played a whole lot of football around here for us, and I think he needs to be given a good, clean opportunity,” Caldwell said. “A lot of things happened out there that I don’t think were his fault. I just don’t feel like he’s gotten a clear opportunity to do that yet, so I want to give him that opportunity.”

The Colts rarely make midseason changes unless there’s an injury. But the quarterback situation has been a mess since four-time league MVP Peyton Manning had his third neck surgery in 19 months on Sept. 8.

Manning hasn’t practiced since then and isn’t expected to play in any games this season. Indy brought in Kerry Collins to replace Manning, for $4 million, but Collins sustained a concussion in Week 3 against Pittsburgh and will end the season on injured reserve.

Painter replaced Collins, but has lost all seven of his starts and all three of the games he’s appeared in as a backup.

He’s 117 of 214 for 1,315 yards with five touchdowns and seven interceptions, though he’s thrown six of those interceptions since his last TD Oct. 16 against Cincinnati.

Over the last four games, Painter’s weekly quarterback ratings have been 38.1, 50.6, 41.9 and 40.1 in his last four games.

Dan Orlovksy, the only other healthy quarterback on Indy’s active roster, relieved Painter each of the past two games, prompting many to think that Caldwell might make a change after Indy’s bye week.

Not a chance.

“We just have to keep getting better, keep improving,” Painter said.

Orlovsky is 14 of 21 for 122 yards with no TDs and no interceptions in Indy’s last two games, though he did give the Colts a late spark against Jacksonville.

While Orlovsky said he understands the decision, he would have preferred starting.

“I’m disappointed every Sunday when I don’t get the chance to play,” said Orlovsky,

players rejected the owners’ most recent proposal on Nov. 14, announcing instead they were disbanding the union to pave the way to sue the league.

David Boies, one of the attorneys representing the players, has repeatedly said he hoped the league would be compelled to settle rather than risk a potentially lengthy trial that could end with players being awarded about $6 billion in damages.

Caldwell just thinks the Colts will be better served with Painter behind center, for now.

“I just don’t think we’ve necessarily given him an opportunity to do his best,” Caldwell said. “I think there were a couple of games that we did, and maybe he hit a little bit of a tailspin, but you can’t always see everything until you slow it all down on tape and I think you’ll see him continue to improve.”

Sproles helping Saints offense reach new heights

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Darren Sproles had no idea he’d be such a central part of the Saints’ offense when he first arrived in New Orleans — not that he’s complaining.

“I was thinking that my job would just be the third downs,” said Sproles, who was always a big-play threat with his only other NFL team, the San Diego Chargers, but was rarely one of the featured players in their offense.

“It’s an adjustment,” Sproles continued.

“I like my role, though.”

Even by the lofty standards of Sean Payton and Drew Brees, the Saints are looking better offensively than usual.

New Orleans leads the NFL in offense with an average of 436.9 yards, which has them on pace for 6,990 yards. That would not only eclipse the previous franchise high of 6,571 in 2008, but also would be second in NFL history, behind only the 2000 St. Louis Rams (7,075).

And one of the biggest differences between this Saints offense and the previous five in the Payton-Brees era is Sproles.

“I have to give Darren Sproles a lot of credit,” Brees said. “He’s been a big part of” the surge in offensive production.

Sproles leads the Saints in rushing with 348 yards on 51 carries, and average of 6.8 yards per carry. His longest run from scrimmage has been 35 yards and he has two touchdowns rushing. Sproles’ 60 receptions rank second on the club behind only tight end Jimmy Graham’s 62. Sproles has 448 yards and three TDs receiving.

His rushing total is already a single-season high in his seven-year career, and he needs only 73 more yards receiving in the next six games to set a new season-high in that category.

Never mind that Sproles, with his 635 yards on kickoff returns and 173 yards and a touchdown on punt returns, leads the NFL with 1,604 total yards, 166 more than Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown, who ranks second.

Sproles and the Saints will be back in action before a national audience on Monday night, when New Orleans hosts the New York Giants.

The Saints snapped up the 5-foot-6 Sproles from the free-agent market the same day they traded Reggie Bush to Miami. Sproles agreed to a four-year deal worth about $14 million, and quickly was given a role in the Saints offense that is similar to the one Bush had. Sproles even was given Bush’s old locker at Saints headquarters.

While Sproles appears to be an upgrade over Bush, he seems uncomfortable with such direct comparisons.

“Reggie’s a great player, so when I get compared to him it feels kind of good, but you’ve just got to make your own name for yourself,” he said.

Brees, meanwhile, said he’s not sure any team had a better free-agent signing than the Saints had with Sproles.

“It would be hard to find. Look at his productivity,” Brees said. “Within the framework of what we do offensively, he can do everything. We ask him to do a lot and it’s never too much for him. There’s not a guy that I have more trust in with protection, with catching the football out of the backfield, giving the ball to him in critical running situations. Whatever it may be, the guy is a ball player and I’m glad he’s on my team.”

When Sproles first arrived in training camp, Brees mentioned he had worked out with his former Chargers teammate in San Diego during the offseason and had been in

the 6-6 mark would be their worst since John Cooper went 6-6 in 1999.

The speculation about Meyer has been making the rounds for weeks.

One of the top football recruits in Ohio for next fall, defensive end Adolphus Washington from Cincinnati’s Taft High School, committed to Ohio State on Tuesday.

Asked at his news conference who he thought would be coaching the Buckeyes next season, he said, “I believe Urban Meyer. I hope so.”

players felt would limit or restrict their options in free agency. Owners are insistent on a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. Union officials indicated they could be open to that, even though they were guaranteed 57 percent in the old CBA, but only if the league conceded on some of the “system” issues.

With the union no longer representing the players, it was unclear who was involved in the new round of talks. NBPA executive director Billy Hunter is officially part of the players’ legal team so he’s able to take part in the talks, though his participation in negotiations could strengthen the league’s contention that the disclaimer strategy was a “sham.” the running back’s ear about keeping New Orleans in mind if the Saints decided to part ways with Bush.

While Sproles’ speed on the perimeter was no secret, he has also shown he can run inside, which he said is his preference.

He also has not been afraid to lower his shoulder on defenders who dwarf him.

“I just got to switch it up sometimes because they get so used to me moving and stuff,” Sproles said. “They’d never think I can just” power straight into a tackler.

While Payton said his current offense may go down as the most productive statistically, he’s not sure he’d call it his best ever.

“Whether or not this is the best offense we’ve had is to be determined really,” Payton said. “You always go back to where you won. In ’09 we won and had success.”

What is clear is that the Saints’ offense is atop the league now, and Sproles is a big reason why.

“He’s played a huge role in what we’ve done. He’s added an element of speed and quickness in space. He’s a threat as a receiver and I think he’s a very accomplished runner,” Payton said. “He gives us a good mix, a good blend and gives us a lot of different options that we try to take advantage of.”

Those close to Tim Tebow say he’s the real deal Roswell Daily Record

AP Photo

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow bows his head on the sidelines after scoring a touchdown against the New York Jets in the fourth quarter of their game on Nov. 17.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — By now, everybody knows T im Tebow, the quirky quarterback. Hardworking work in progress, imperfect passer getting by on more will than skill, bigger on moxie than mechanics.

Then there’s Tim Tebow, the person. Popular and polarizing, more like a politician than NFL player.

Galvanizes backers and backbiters alike. People love him or loathe him.

There he is on TV, professing his faith and talking about how he was more excited to build a children’s hospital in the Philippines than he was in leading the Denver Broncos to an improbable last-minute win over the New York Jets.

Even though the Broncos were 1-4 without him and

4-1 with him, including two fourth-quarter comebacks, Tebow’s detractors call him a phony, fake and scripted, a goody two-shoes. This, despite guiding the Broncos back to relevancy at 5-5, a game behind front-running Oakland in the AFC West.

Yet his teammates and coaches, who see him when the cameras and recorders aren’t around, say he’s a sincere, aw-shucks, praisethe-Lord-and-pass-the-football (at least try) kind of guy, with the world at his feet and his head nowhere near the clouds.

“He really is genuine and the emotion and the passion that you see him out there playing with, he has the same passion off the field with those type of things, the charity things and the missionary things,”

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys and Dolphins playing on Thanksgiving will forever conjure memories of the 1993 game. Dallas defensive lineman Leon Lett adding to his blunderful reputation by sliding across ice and snow to bring alive a dead ball, setting up Miami for the winning kick as time ran out.

With Lett now part of the Cowboys’ coaching staff, and Snickers pushing a lighthearted “Forgive Leon” campaign, that tale seemed likely to be the most exciting storyline for another holiday meeting between the clubs.

Nope. Nostalgia has been shoved to the sideline because the game itself is shaping up as a good one.

Both teams go in having won three straight. For the Cowboys, it’s meant a rise into a tie for first place in the NFC East, and a chance to take over sole possession at least until the Giants play Monday night. For the Dolphins, it’s flushed away the dread from an 0-7 start and replaced it with the invaluable commodity of hope.

Matt Moore has shown he could be the club’s longsought solution at quarterback and the defense has gone 12 straight quarters without giving up a touchdown.

No wonder there’s so much dancing on the Miami sideline.

“I’ll tell you what,” said Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor, who was the runner -up on “Dancing With The Stars” in 2008, “you keep winning, you keep making plays, you can do anything you want.”

Dallas and Miami have played four times since Lett’s unthinkable gaffe, which came 10 months after an equally stunning, though nowhere near as punitive, mistake in the Super Bowl. The Dolphins

and Cowboys have even met on Thanksgiving twice since then.

Yet this is their first meeting since the Dolphins have turned into Cowboys East, with their general manager, coach, quarterback and five more players having been with Dallas first, most going directly from one club to the other.

“We know there are a lot of guys who have Dallas ties — ‘the Cowboy club,”’ Miami safety Yeremiah Bell said. “But they’re Dolphins now. We want to make sure we go there and give them a good showing on Thanksgiving.”

Moore is among the club within the club, having signed with Dallas as an undrafted rookie in 2007.

He impressed players and coaches in training camp, but the club took the risk of trying to get him through waivers and onto the practice squad. It didn’t work.

Carolina snagged him and he started 13 games over three years. Ties from his Dallas days steered him to Miami this season as a backup to Chad Henne.

Then Henne got hurt and the 27-year-old Moore got him another chance to prove himself.

He’s gotten better every week. Miami went from a blowout loss to a pair of narrow defeats to wins by 28, 11 and 33 points. He has six touchdowns and one interception during the winning streak, showing how well he’s clicked with his coordinator and teammates.

“I’m not a GM, but if I was, he’d still be here,” Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said. “I’ll never forget, when he was on scout team, he used to light us up. Now he’s getting his confidence. He’s definitely a formidable opponent.”

Part of the reason the Cowboys gambled on losing Moore was they already had their answer at quar-

receiver Eddie Royal said.

“He just lives that way. Like I said, there’s nothing fake about Tim Tebow.”

“He’s real,” coach John Fox agreed. “He walks the walk. A guy like that in today’s society, in my mind, ought to be celebrated, not scrutinized to the level that he is.”

Royal said Tebow should be hailed a hero by more than just the Tebowmaniacs who have been in his corner since he starred at the University of Florida.

“He represents the game of football the right way, by his play, by his emotion, by his enthusiasm,” Royal said. “He’s the per fect example of the type of guy that you want to be off the field.”

Still, for a guy who was raised on a far m, homeschooled and listens to Sinatra to pump himself up before games, Tebow has plenty of detractors.

“The only reason I would think people wouldn’t like him is because they don’t believe that he’s really all that he is,” Royal said. “But to tell you the truth, he really is, being around him every day. What you see is what you get with him.

There’s nothing fake about him.”

Champ Bailey has the same take on Tebow.

“You know the thing is, there are reasons that people could dislike other athletes,” Bailey said. “Like, say for instance, a lot of people could love T.O. But there are reasons for people not to like him, and you can understand why people don’t like him. But when people don’t like Tim, you try to understand why, you don’t.”

Some people have a problem with Tebow wearing his religion on his sleeve.

For example, for mer Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer told KGME-AM in

Phoenix this week: “I think he’s a winner and I respect that about him. I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I’ll like him a little better. I don’t hate him because of that. I just would rather not have to hear that every time he takes a good snap or makes a good hand-off.”

To which Tebow replies: a man needn’t express his love for his wife only on their wedding day, but all the time. That’s the way he feels about his relationship with his Lord.

“That’s the thing about my faith: It’s not just something that happens when you’re at church or happens when you’re praying or reading the Scripture.

It’s a part of who you are, as a person, as a player, in your life and everything,” Tebow said. “And it should be who you are because you’re not just a Christian or a believer at church.

That’s who you are everywhere and it shouldn’t matter what situation or what setting you are in. Hopefully, you’re the same guy everywhere.”

Tebow was born in the Philippines, to parents who were missionaries and taught him never to shy away from professing his faith. Like Reggie White and Kurt Warner before him, he feels compelled to share his story of salvation regardless of the sensitivity of the subject.

“People may think he’s faking or he’s not telling the truth, but that man walks the walk and talks the talk,” Broncos safety Rahim Moore said. “Look at the guy. He’s not a guy who’s out clubbing and doing this and that.”

In his autobiography, “Through My Eyes,” Tebow wrote: “It’s not always the easiest thing to be the center of attention of so much

spilled ink. You read glowing things, and it doesn’t feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.”

He also talks about growing up “farmer strong” — lifting hay bales, chopping wood, chasing down cows — and the lessons learned from his mother, who homeschooled her five children in Jacksonville, Fla. He writes about growing up dyslexic and being a kinesthetic learner, meaning he learns best by doing, not reading. He talks about how his best sport was baseball, how he doesn’t like soft drinks or have time to date and how religion was always a priority in his life.

“For as long as I can remember, this was instilled in me: to have fun, love Jesus and others, and tell them about Him,” he wrote.

Punter Britton Colquitt suggested schadenfreude — pleasure derived from the misfortune of others — was at work when it comes to Tebow.

“It’s a shame that all people want to do is see people screw up and not portray good. But that’s just the world we live in, I feel like,” Colquitt said. “It’s an evil world now, but he’s a good guy.

“People like to see people fail because it makes other people feel good. He does a really good job with that and he keeps himself out of situations where he could stumble,” he said.

One surprising thing that several teammates mentioned is Tebow’s sense of humor, something he does not usually share with the public.

“He knows a lot of jokes,” Royal said, laughing.

None of them off-color, to be sure.

“No, no, he always keeps it clean but it’s a good

laugh,” Royal said. “He has a lot of funny stories and a lot of, like, jokes, like standup comedy-type stuff.

And that catches you, but it’s all in a playful manner.

It never catches you the wrong way. It’s all in fun.”

Said Colquitt: “He’s got a different sense of humor but ... you wouldn’t say like, ‘Oh, that guy’s kind of square’ and stuff like that. I mean, he definitely wants to have a good time.”

For Tebow, that means spending his day off taking his year -old Rhodesian Ridgeback, “Bronco,” to the dog park.

Talk about the dog and the breed, which has roots in South Africa, and Tebow’s eyes light up.

Though his type is known for bravery, Bronco shies away from others at the park and plants himself between Tebow’s legs.

Other times, he’s on a leash and accompanies Tebow while he rides his bike in his neighborhood.

Moore said he sometimes senses that Tebow gets uncomfortable with all the attention.

“To be honest with you, he doesn’t like it sometimes,” he said. “One time we were talking and I went to the grocery store and he said he didn’t remember the last time he went to the grocery store, you know?

He can’t go. I mean that’s not fun. He can’t go get his own cereal, his favorite cereal.”

Still, Royal says Tebow does a good job of just being himself.

“He doesn’t try to be anything more than what he is,” he said. “And he walks around here and he’s comfortable in his own skin, and you can tell that. Like I said, there’s nothing fake about him. He’s not trying to be something that he’s not. And he’s just being himself.”

4-game winning streak for Cowboys-Dolphins winner

Washington’s Josh Wilson (26) goes in to break up a pass intended for Dallas’ Dez Bryant during their game, Sunday. The Cowboys square off with the resurgent Dolphins today.

terback in Tony Romo. Say what you want about how he’s played the last few years, but right now he’s on a tear.

Beyond the three straight wins and a 4-1 spurt, Romo has gone three consecutive games without an interception and has just two over the last six games.

His 12 touchdown passes in that span show he’s managed to protect the ball while still being aggressive.

The short week isn’t likely to break his spell. Dallas plays on Thanksgiving every year, and Romo is 4-0 on the holiday, with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions. The Cowboys lost this showcase game last year, but Romo was out

with a broken collarbone.

Romo’s recent success has been sparked by his return to good health and the running of rookie DeMarco Murray. He has 747 yards with six games left, putting him well on his way to the best rushing total by a Dallas runner since Emmitt Smith’s heyday.

However, Murray is coming off his least productive game since taking over.

Against Washington, he had 73 yards on 25 carries, a 2.9 average. And he’ll be going against a defense that’s allowed 72.7 yards rushing during its winning streak.

Miami’s running game is getting cranked up, too,

thanks to Reggie Bush. He has four touchdowns the last three games; it was four games ago, when the Dolphins were 0-6, that he proclaimed “this team stinks,” and Bell shot back “he stinks.”

Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said he thinks the dif ference in production stems from Miami offensive coordinator Brian Daboll increasing Bush’s workload. He reached 13 carries only once the first six games; he’s had at least that many the last four games. He’s also had at least three receptions in each of those games after a long stretch of one or two per game.

“He’s featuring a way to

get this guy the ball to do the things that he does best and to get him out in space,” R yan said. “He’s (tough) out there, everybody knows it.”

Only one team will leave Cowboys Stadium on Sunday with a four-game winning streak. That team also will have three wins in 12 days, and no more games for 10 days.

“When I was in Dallas, I thought the three games in (12) days can change your fortunes fast one way or the other,” said Miami coach Tony Sparano, who was with the Cowboys from 2003-07. “We talk to the team about opportunity — and we have a really good opportunity.”

some may not realize it.

My heroes are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, foster parents, teachers, playground monitors and crossing guards who teach others to have values and common sense, and to be ethical in their treatment of others.

My heroes are young girls who spend a year grooming and conditioning their hair, then cut it off so it may be given to a child who has none; those who pick up trash along the highways and byways to keep America clean; police officers who stop you because you’ve done something stupid, then let you go because they know you made an honest mistake and you’ll be sure not to do it

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: A while back you asked your readers to name their heroes. May I contribute?

My heroes are nameless, often faceless and in most cases unsung. They will never have 15 minutes of fame.

Their deeds won’t be recorded in history books, but their kindness inspires and their good deeds will forever affect the lives of others — though

again.

My heroes are the guys on the garbage truck who take a few extra seconds to pick up the items that didn’t make it into the truck and make sure your receptacle is upright and undamaged before moving on to the next house; grownups who hold children’s hands in parking lots to keep them safe; teachers who stay after school to help a student struggling with homework, a troubled home life or homelessness.

My heroes are strangers on streets and in buildings who take a moment to ask if they can help you because of the uncertain expression on your face; every shelter worker who has ever cried when a homeless or abused creature was

Dear Heloise: In the winter months, a home’s first measure of protection against rain and snow is the ROOF. A roofing manufacturer offers these hints for how to get your roof ready for the cold winter: * Start off by checking the roof’s framing structure to make sure it is not compromised. Visually scan the roof for any sagging or uneven areas. * Inspect the gutter systems to make sure they are not clogged with branches, leaves or other debris. * Make sure that gutters are fastened properly, and are tight and secure. * Check the valleys of the roof to ensure that they also are free and clear of debris that can add weight to the roof and also act as a barrier to rain and snow. * One of the most common causes of roofing leaks is with flashing. Remember that flashings can be loosened or torn by high winds and heavy rains. * You should walk around to carefully inspect the shingles on the roof — look for curling or missing granules, and certainly for missing shingles or damage from birds, rodents or squirrels.

Good points to know. It’s time to take a walk around the house.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: When serving wine from a decanter, wine often runs down the outside after a pour. To stop it, we place a hair scrunchie around the decanter to serve as a drip stop (darker scrunchies for red wine, and lighter ones for white).

The scrunchies can then be washed and reused, plus when color-coordinated, they can add to the decor.

5 movies for which to be thankful

B6 Thursday, November 24, 2011 LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s Thanksgiving this week, a time to reflect on the people and things for which we’re grateful.

Since I love movies, I thought it would be a good time to choose five for which I’m thankful.

These are the cinematic equivalent of comfort food, ones I can watch over and over again, and always rely on to make me laugh, lift me up or provide an escape. (The inclusion of anything by John Hughes goes without saying.)

Ask me tomorrow and this list might be different. But for today, dig in: • “Rushmore” (1998): This was only Wes Anderson’s second movie, but it remains his best — funny, lively, clever and tinged with a sweet sense of melancholy. All of Anderson’s trademark stylistic touches are there, the ones that would seem increasingly precious and self-conscious with each subsequent film he made. Young Jason Schwartzman, making his film debut, stars as Max Fischer, who’s involved in every club, sport and activity at the exclusive Rushmore Academy. A restrained Bill Murray is hilarious as the depressed father of a couple of Max’s classmates, with whom Max for ms an unlikely friendship — until the two compete for the affections of the first-grade teacher, played by the lovely Olivia Williams. Anderson finds delicate humor in his characters’ loneliness, which gives “Rushmore” greater emotional heft than its quirks might lead

you to expect.

• “The Sound of Music” (1965): OK, so I’m just going to put it out there: I played Gretl in our little neighborhood production of this musical when I was 5, and it’s always held a special place in my heart. Yes, it’s a huge movie and a classic, winner of five Academy Awards including best picture. But there’s something so personal about it; we all grew up watching it — it’s one of those movies that was on television every year around the holidays. I recall repeatedly listening to the album — the album, people, that’s how long ago this was — and singing along with every song.

Why shouldn’t Julie Andrews be able to come up with just the perfect, inspiring tune on the spot, or make play clothes out of drapes for all seven Von Trapp children, and still find time to make goo-goo eyes at the captain? It’s corny and gooey and irresistible.

• “This Is Spinal Tap” (1984): Pretty much the greatest mockumentary ever, the one that launched Christopher Guest’s entire oeuvre.

Others, such as “Waiting for Guffman,” have their classic moments, but this one sets the standard. So many great, quotable lines. So many ridiculous songs in this fake behindthe-scenes look at a spectacularly awful and overthe-top British rock band.

So many small, deadpan ad-libs that produce huge laughs. Rob Reiner (as director and co-star) nails a particular brand of big-

haired musical self-seriousness that was prevalent in this era. Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, all masters of improvisation, bounce beautifully off each other.

This is a truly reliable comedy, one that captures a specific moment yet remains a classic. You know the tiny Stonehenge is coming and it’s still funny every time.

• “The Big Lebowski” (1998): Admittedly, this is not the Coen brothers’ best film — that would be “No Country for Old Men,” their masterpiece. And I could watch that over and over again, too. But the

cult of Lebowski is just too power ful. There’s something hypnotic about it: the way The Dude navigates the increasingly surreal adventure in which he’s found himself; the cadence of the banter; the repetition of certain key phrases (most of which can’t be repeated here, sadly). Bowling, Vietnam, white Russians, porn, a toe with green nail polish on it and a crucial rug that really tied the room together all collide in weird and wonderful ways in this absurd case of mistaken identity. No matter what Jeff Bridges accomplishes in his lengthy and

varied career and despite the Oscar he recently won for “Crazy Heart,” he will always be The Dude. And John Goodman is completely great as his volatile, self-serious sidekick, Walter.

• “Sleeping Beauty” (1959): This was my favorite Disney animated film growing up, an uncharacteristically chickish choice on my part, given its themes of a woman in peril who needs a man to rescue her — the man she’s been arranged to marry, of all people. So no, it’s not terribly forward-thinking. But when I was a little girl, it all

‘Dragonriders’ author Anne McCaffrey dies at age 85 DUBLIN (AP) — Anne McCaffrey, whose vision of an interstellar alliance between humans and dragons spawned two dozen “Dragonriders of Pern” novels, has died in Ireland, aged 85, her publisher and family announced Wednesday.

Random House said the Cambridge, Massachusettsborn author died of a stroke Monday at her rural residence south of Dublin, her home for four decades. She christened her self-designed house Dragonhold.

“Surrounded by the reassuring presence of family and close friends, her passing was swift and without suffering,”

her three children said in a statement.

McCaf frey tur ned to the male-dominated world of sci-fi writing after dabbling in singing and amateur acting.

“I have always used emotion as a writing tool,” McCaffrey told the science fiction magazine Locus in a 2004 interview.

“That goes back to me being on the stage. The thing is, emotion — if it’s visibly felt by the writer — will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it.”

She was the first woman to win the top two prizes for science fiction writing, the Hugo

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Rethink a personal decision with a partner. Whether it is about the turkey or excess, you are likely to be focused on this holiday. Someone from a distance surprises you. A new beginning becomes possible. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to make a difference, to touch base with others and to feel deeply emerges. Someone seeks advice or direction. The unexpected action promotes insight about this person. Allow others to play a bigger role. Tonight: An important conversation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your pace is erratic, as you are distracted by phone calls or remembering phone calls you didn’t make. Get into the celebration and relax. You could be quite surprised by a friend or what a group does. Forget the judgment — enjoy. Tonight: Reviving your energy by socializing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to move past issues and make loved ones relax emerges. You simply cannot get enough of people today.

Honor today’s rituals. Catch up on news, share some happy events and relax.

Tonight: Helping out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay close to home, and share an easy morning. Though you might want to toss yourself into the festivities, you are taken

and the Nebula, in 1968 and 1969, respectively, following publication of her first two novellas set on the fictional planet of Pern.

McCaffrey moved to Ireland in 1970 after filing for divorce from her husband of 20 years.

She had ancestral ties to Ireland, which also had just launched a unique program to woo novelists to live there exempt from income tax.

Her popularity surged with the 1978 publication of “The White Dragon,” which completed her original trilogy begun in the late 1960s.

It was her only novel to break into The New York Times best-seller list.

JACQUELINE BIGAR YOUR HOROSCOPE

aback by recent events and activities. Be an observer until late afternoon, when you feel like plunging into the happening.

Tonight: Loving the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for those you cannot be with this Thanksgiving. Exchange well wishes and news. As a result of the interchange, you will feel much more abundant and flowing. Try to make the social rounds before dinner; otherwise, you won’t be in the mood. Tonight: Stay home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Have you considered the fact that you might be spoiling a partner or a trusted pal? Such is the case if you aren’t careful. A child or loved one creates so much cheer, you can scarcely see anything else. Do you really care? Tonight: Visit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your smiling manner takes you far. Realize what is happening with others. Let it be said that not everyone is as upbeat as you. You also might not be able to change anyone’s mood. Put on an invigorating piece of music. Curb indulgence, if possible. There is a tomorrow. Tonight: Slow

But she maintained a prolific writing pace, producing a further 21 novels set in Pern at various periods of its imagined history.

Over the past decade as her health faded, she increasingly collaborated with her son Todd, who co-authored five Pern-based novels and wrote three others on his own.

The 23rd novel, ‘Dragon’s Time,” was published in June with mother and son sharing the writing credit, while the 24th, “Sky Dragons,” is set for publication next year.

She is survived by two sons and a daughter. Funeral arrangements were not announced.

down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel out of sorts and in a bahhumbug mood. You cannot change what is going on; you can be more sensitive to your needs for a few hours. You might be surprised by how rapidly your mood changes with a favorite pastime or some fresh air. Tonight: In your element.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Make calls, if not visit with some friends.

Someone could be lonely, and you might want to ask this person to join you in this Thanksgiving Day. Remember, some people cannot be forced no matter what. Let them be. Tonight: Some private time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Somehow you might be more instrumental in another person’s day than you realize. Allow greater give-and-take. You might not always be right, you know!

After the festivities, visit with a loved one or friend you don’t see all that often.

Tonight: All smiles.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A thought, a call or someone’s sharing inspires not only you but also others.

Remember the true meaning of the holiday. Touch base with a loner before you partake in your turkey. An invitation just might be appropriate. Tonight: Others definitely notice you!

seemed so romantic.

Aurora was so gorgeous and graceful, tall and blond, my epitome of feminine beauty back then.

Much of the film’s allure comes from the music — the sweeping score adapted from Tchaikovsky’s ballet. The movie itself is just so beautiful, too, nearly a decade in the making with its hand-inked animation.

And Maleficent is just such a great name for an evil witch. “Sleeping Beauty” was one of the movies I watched when I was home on maternity leave, waiting anxiously for my son to arrive. It was a good distraction.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Electric Light Christmas Parade arrives Dec. 3

Roswell Daily Record

VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The community is invited to come out and have a little fun in the dark.

The annual Electric Light Christmas Parade promises to both warm and brighten the night as well as provide free family entertainment.

The event — organized by MainStreet Roswell for more than 20 years — will take place Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. The parade will begin around College Boulevard and go south on Main Street, concluding once it reaches Alameda Street.

Members of the community are also invited to participate in the parade. The assistance provided by MainStreet Roswell makes coming up with ideas for a float and participation a cinch.

Dusty Huckabee, director of MainStreet Roswell, said individuals as well as groups may make and drive a float. Churches, businesses and other organizations can gather a sizeable group to decorate a float; however, a single individual is welcome to turn his or her car into a float.

Huckabee said those driving their cars will be given converters so they may power the lights through their cigarette lighters.

A variety of vehicles are welcome. These can be as large as fire trucks or as small as bicycles.

Float entries must be turned in, or postmarked by, Nov. 28.

There was a workshop Nov. 17 meant to assist those in the parade. The workshop was an opportunity to ask questions and ensure knowledge of the rules.

Some common sense rules include not carrying gasoline on the float, carrying a fire extinguisher and not throwing anything — not even candy — from a float.

The workshop was also an opportunity for interested individuals to discuss their ideas for floats. If someone did not have an

The light parade typically has around 30 entries, Huckabee said. To be able to truly appreciate the creativity of the floats, all the lights downtown are turned off.

Huckabee encouraged businesses around the area to turn off their lights at the time of the parade.

“The darker we can get it, the more the

floats stand out,” Huckabee said.

To help compensate for the dark environment, Huckabee said there will be increased security downtown.

Vendors are allowed at the event, but they must call MainStreet Roswell to be approved and receive a vending location.

There is only one thing Huckabee asks of all those who attend — when the American flag is waved and the “Star-Spangled Banner” is played, everyone must stand up

and men must take their hats off.

The event is completely free — for float drivers and spectators alike. The one thing that might incur cost is a treat from a vendor.

“It’s a Christmas present to the community,” Huckabee said of the event.

For more information about the Electric Light Parade, call 420-5718 or visit www.mainstreetroswell.org.

Early days of Christmas here and abroad CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Roswell Daily Record

Some of the first Christmas celebrations in Roswell were celebrated at the Corn Ranch at the turn of the last century.

According to information supplied by the Chaves County Historical Society, Martin W. Corn and his family arrived in the East Grand Plains in 1879, an early pioneer family eager for a fresh start in the West. Any celebration of Christmas on the frontier was sparse. The entire community went out to the Corn Ranch, some all the way from Carlsbad.

The Corns also usually had the local schoolmarm living with them and she was in charge of the Christmas program which included singing of carols, re-telling the Christmas story and having a feast of what the local harvest brought in. Gifts were handmade. Dolls for the children were made from flour sacks and facial features were embroidered on. There was always some kind of stick or rock candy which was a special treat. There were no candy stores in those days.

There was usually a giant cedar tree brought in from the higher region which was placed in the schoolhouse so the children could enjoy it. Gifts were usually put in long wool socks and were simple and what they could scrounge up.

But, in this case, it really was the thought that counted and it was reported that the inner joy and blessings of a time of peace and celebration with family was what made Christmas important during such a hardscrabble time.

The celebration of the time of the winter solstice, which became Christmas with the advent and spreading of Christianity, began in

the fourth century. A combination of pagan festivals begun with the Norse and Celtic traditions added to the holy time.

During the dark days of the shortest day of the year many early Norse families would put extra lights outside to cheer themselves.

A Yule log was burned while families enjoyed feasting and getting together with neighbors for comfort and safety. Mead was a favorite drink while enormous parts of animals were roasted on the fire for

all to enjoy with vegetables set aside for the winter. Also, beer and wine had then reached their full fruition. Candles were burned and houses were decorated to brighten the long winter days.

In the Celtic culture on the British Isles where green plants were revered, they put mistletoe and holly around their houses which normally were barren during the early days. Snuggling around a warm fire enjoying the summer harvest was also enjoyed

in this area. Mistletoe and holly were also early symbols of fertility which may account for the current tradition of being kissed under the mistletoe that still continues today.

The holiness and the spread of Christianity during the fourth century changed the way this time was celebrated, however,m the birth of Jesus which was officially declared on Dec. 25 by Pope Julius in the fourth century was also a time of joy and gift giving. As traditions grew with the gifts presented

to Jesus at his birth, Christians followed this by giving gifts to each other. Christmas carols were written as time went on which further added to coming together to proclaim a joyous time.

Each country in the Old World of Europe adapted Christmas according to its own beliefs. In Spain the time of the birth of Jesus is a deeply religious holiday. The country’s patron saint is the Virgin Mary and their Christmas season officially begins on Dec. 8. Many homes today still have a manger complete with carved figures. The magi were held in high esteem and therefore gift giving became a more holy act.

Christmas was not made an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870, although beginning with the first colonists in Jamestown, Va., the time was celebrated in many ways.

As Americans gained more wealth and separated from England, the time of year grew more and more a fun-filled time when homes and streets of even the smallest towns were decorated with greenery, decorated trees, decorative lights and color. Special foods were added, some from recipes in the Old World to enjoy.

Pies, cakes, candies were added to fruits, vegetables and meats.

Abundance gave way to more abundance in gift giving as more Americans could afford more luxury.

Today the combination of ancient lore and tradition combines with advanced technological wonders to expand the days of Christmas as shoppers now are buying gifts as early as two months before the official day.

Holidays don’t have to mean extra pounds JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

With the holiday season comes cookies, cakes and goodies, but the increase in unhealthy food doesn’t mean your waistline has to expand.

The website healthdiscovery.net, a Weight Watcher support network, provides many useful tips for healthy eating habits around the holiday season. The site breaks down different foods such as dairy products, meats and desserts, and gives advice for each.

Since many holiday foods include dairy products, the site suggests using skimmed milk and other “low” or “no” fat dairy products in your recipes whenever possible. In terms of holiday beverages, the site suggests choosing mulled cider over eggnog. If eggnog is unavoidable for you, dilute it with skim milk or use low fat or fat free eggnog. Nonalcoholic or de-alcoholized wines also make a great alternative for the holidays.

Additionally, the site advises to choose leaner cuts of meat for holiday gatherings whenever possible. As a general rule, white meat is leaner than dark meat — so choose the breast meat of a chicken or turkey

rather than the drumstick, the site advises.

The site choosemyplate.gov is an excellent resource for healthy eating year-round. The site, a core project of the United States Department of Agriculture, provides the public with useful information surrounding eating habits. Through the site, registered users (it is free and easy to register) can learn about eating healthy on a budget, analyze their diet and plan a healthy menu. Also included through the site is an outline of the basic food groups, and how those groups should be consumed on a daily basis.

The holiday season also means many parties. There are many helpful tips out there to help overeating at these festive events. Eat a light meal prior to the party in order to avoid overeating. Keep your hands full. By holding a drink in your dominant hand, it will make it difficult to grab food. And if you don’t love it, don’t eat. There is no reason to pack on the extra pounds for foods you don’t enjoy.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Roswell Daily Record

VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Greeks used the Temple to worship their gods and sacrifice swine.

A high priest known as Mattathias rebelled against these rulings. His family and others willing to fight against the Greeks banded together and became known as the Maccabees.

Once the rebels took back their land, they worked to spiritually cleanse the Temple, which had been defiled by the Greeks’ actions. Purification meant lighting a light — but unfortunately, Jewish troops only found enough oil to burn for one day. They decided to light it, anyway.

Surprisingly, the oil burned much longer than a day.

“This tiny amount of oil burned for eight days and nights until more oil was found,” said Pamela Boyar, a member of Congregation B’Nai Israel in Roswell. “It was a miracle.”

The lighting of the lamp within the Temple is significant, Boyar said, because the light “represents the presence of God.” Chanukah means “rededication” in Hebrew, as it marks the day the Temple was rededicated by the Jews, for the Jews.

To commemorate the perseverance of Jewish faith and the miracle of the light, Chanukah is celebrated the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev — which falls anywhere

from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.

“Jews celebrate Chanukah by lighting a nine-branched candleholder, which is called a Menorah, for eight nights,” Boyar said. “The ninth candle is called the Shamash. It’s purpose is to … (light) the other candles.”

On the first night of Chanukah, the Shamash and one candle are lit. On the second night, the Shamash and two candles are lit and so forth until the eighth night, when every candle on the Menorah shines bright.

The foods traditionally enjoyed during Chanukah tend to be fried in oil — another reference to the oil that lasted eight days. These foods include potato pancakes known as latkes and jelly donuts known as soofganiyot.

Boyar said children are typically given a small gift each night of Chanukah. Children also play with a four-sided spinning top called a Dreidel.

Each side of the Dreidel is inscribed with a Hebrew letter. The four letters are Nun, Gimel, Hei and Shin, which stand for “Nes Gadol Hayah Sham,” which means, “a great miracle happened here.”

According to the secular calendar, Chanukah begins this year on Dec. 20 at sundown.

Chanukah celebrates Jews’ victory over invaders The odds were stacked against them.

In the year 165 B.C. in the land of Judea, a small band of Jews rebelled against a greater, stronger Syrian-Greek army that sought to rule them.

The small faction of Jews — also known as the Maccabees — beat the odds and won. Their victory meant the right to retain their Jewish customs and not be forced to revere Greek gods. It also meant regaining their rights over the Jewish Temple, which had been conquered by Syrian-Greek forces.

Known popularly as the Festival of the Lights, Chanukah — also spelled Hanukkah — marks the anniversary of the Maccabees’ victory. The winter holiday also marks the anniversary of when a small vial of a day’s worth of oil defeated the odds — much like the Maccabees — and burned for eight days.

But the story of how these miracles took place begins with an attempt to conquer. In the year 168 B.C. the Jewish Temple was taken by Syrian-Greek forces. A year later, practicing Judaism in the conquered land became a crime. Jews were ordered to worship Greek gods instead.

Party Management 101: It’s all about the guests

NEW YORK (AP) — It would be so easy to give holiday parties if it weren’t for the guests.

Guests who fail to RSVP, then show up with friends.

Guests who arrive late and stay past your bedtime. Guests who clean out your shrimp cocktail but won’t touch your pasta salad. Guests who knock over drinks and nearly set their sleeves on fire reaching over your candles.

And the worst guest of all: the one who’s busy the night of your holiday party and can’t make it.

But you can outsmart them all and host a party as carefree for you as it is fun for them. Here are some tips for Party Management 101, from the invite to the “Goodnight!”

TIMING: Send the invitation for a holiday party too early and people forget. Wait too long and everyone’s booked.

Kaity Eagle, a marketing specialist with InvitationConsultants.com, recommends sending invitations “no later than one month before the party. November and December are busy months.”

Sunday evenings are a good alternative to busy Friday and Saturday nights. Yes, everyone has to go to work or school the next day, but if you schedule your party for late Sunday afternoon or early evening, you could end up with a crowd. Friends might welcome a way to relax after a busy weekend of shopping and chores, especially if you offer a dinner buffet and save them the trouble of preparing a meal.

INVITES AND RSVPS: Paper, electronic or phone invitations? So many options, and yet so few result in RSVPs. The paper invite makes an impression, but it’s more work for you. It also may suggest an unintended formality or level of fuss for your party.

On the other end of the spectrum is the phone or text invite. That may be a little too casual and easy to lose track of, especially if you’re sending them several weeks out.

Electronic invitations — Evite, email, Paperless Post, Facebook and other sites — have become the default for

many people, and may yield the most responses in our noRSVP culture simply because responding requires just one click.

But there are always a few who never RSVP. Some have no intention of coming; others may show up unannounced with uninvited friends. And a few will pledge their attendance, then never show, or cancel last-minute. How’s a hostess to cope?

Jennifer Gullins of the Boston-based Saphire Event Group suggests pinning down commitments from a few BFFs. “It’s OK to take a pulse on your core group of invitees well in advance. ... This will ensure that you already know a good handful will be attending even before sending out the official invite.”

Should you make follow-up calls to those who don’t

POLISH SANDWICH

respond? Debi Lilly, entertaining expert for the supermarket chain Safeway, says a gracious call or email to sincerely say, “I wanted to make sure you got my invitation,” is always appropriate.

Another way to go is to send out a single email reminder a week before the event to everyone you haven’t heard from.

If that too is ignored, they’re probably not coming.

I’ve had luck over the years getting RSVPs to my annual Hanukkah party by including a special plea on the grounds that I want to have enough homemade latkes for everyone.

Threatening that a tantalizing treat might disappear if you don’t have a reliable head count might be enough to shake the RSVPs out.

Patricia Mendez, who offers tips at ezentertaining.net and wrote a book called “Easy Entertaining for Beginners,” says it’s prudent to assume that a few surprise guests will show up. “If you have 12 that RSVP, then plan for a few more just in case — 16,” she said.

She also suggests inviting a third more people than your space fits: “If your space will fit 12 to 16 people, send invitations to 20 to 24.”

FOOD AND DECOR: Food that’s good at room temperature is easiest on the host, though it limits the menu.

See what prepared foods your supermarket is offering before you splurge at specialty stores; you might be surprised by the selection and quality of cold party platters and easy-to-bake frozen hors d’oeuvres. Safeway’s Lilly says it’s easy to dress up frozen puffs with fresh herbs, fruit slivers, a drizzle of balsamic cream or shaved parmesan. “The trick,” she said, “is to elevate them.”

And remember that variety is a virtue. I used to offer pasta salad as a side dish for potato pancakes until someone pointed out that it was just too many carbs. Fruit platters with berries, toothpicked pineapple chunks and melon balls, on the other hand, proved much more popular, as did chicken wings.

Holiday lights are exempt from bulb efficiency law Roswell Daily Record

Love to deck the halls with oldfashioned incandescent lights?

Don’t worry: Holiday lights are exempt from the new energy-saving standards for light bulbs that will take effect next year.

From outdoor icicle lights hanging from eaves to strands of twinkle lights wrapped around a Christmas tree, lights used for holiday decorating are considered “specialty bulbs” and aren’t affected by the standards being phased in starting in January. That was welcome news to holiday light fanatic Chuck Taylor, who said the standards created a stir in the online forum he runs at Planetchristmas.com. “This was a very popular subject last year,” said Taylor, a holiday light consultant in Franklin, Tenn.

Many Christmas lights already are more energy-efficient than the old-fashioned incandescents.

“To be honest, the little niche of the Christmas light industry already has been fast moving toward LEDs,” said Garth Svenson, president of the Christmas Dove in Barrington, N.H. The store is the largest of its kind in New England, with more than 30 rooms full of Christmas decorations and lights.

Some fans of traditional lights complain that the more energy-efficient LED lights don’t produce the same colorful halo effect as older

bulbs. Strands of LEDs also are more expensive than incandescents, though the LEDs are much cheaper to run and are often more durable.

The new efficiency standards apply to the familiar household screw-in bulbs, and while they don’t specifically ban traditional incandescents, they require bulbs to have a higher level of efficiency than the classics can produce.

Joseph Higbee, a spokesman for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, said there are new halogen incandescent bulbs that meet the standards, and consumers have a choice among those, compact fluorescent and the lightemitting diode, or LED, bulbs, he said.

LED holiday lights have been around for years, and sales have increased as new varieties — including some that attempt to mimic the warmer glow of incandescent lights — hit store shelves.

The Home Depot, which started selling LED lights in 2006, sold enough strands last year to circle the globe 1.5 times. Through Nov. 13, customers can bring in old working or non-working light strands to be recycled and can get a coupon for up to $5 off the purchase of LED string lights.

In this photo taken Nov. 2, some of Brian Mitchell’s 49,000 holiday display lights are seen at his home in Claremont, N.H. Mitchell is one of many consumers who set up extraordinary holiday displays with specialty bulbs which are exempt from the new energy-saving standards for light bulbs that start taking effect next year.

In Claremont, N.H., Brian Mitchell was busy last week setting up the 45,000-light display he puts up in his yard every year. He spent about $1,200 on LED lights this year, not because he was worried the old lights would disappear from store shelves but because he wants to keep up with the latest in lighting technology.

Mitchell, whose obsession start-

ed with decorating every room in his house with paper chains when he was a kid, set up his first outdoor display about 20 years ago with one plastic Santa and a single string of lights. Today, his small yard is covered with snowmen, toy soldiers, a miniature carousel and other scenery, all adorned with lights programmed to flash and blink in synch to holiday music. It

takes him about 10 hours to program each minute of the 7-minute show he runs every 15 minutes nightly from Nov. 25 until Christmas.

“Seeing how much the people enjoy it drives me to get it done every year,” said Mitchell, a grocer who donates the money he collects from his holiday light show to a children’s hospital.

Kwanzaa pays tribute to seven principles of life VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Kwanzaa — a festive winter holiday with millions of followers in the United States — was born out of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. the Swahili From “matunda ya kwanza,” or “first fruits of the harvest,” celebrates Kwanzaa African-American culture and history while instilling values that could benefit all.

Inspired by the “first fruit” or harvest festivals celebrated throughout Africa, activist and scholar Maulana Karenga — born Ronald McKinley Everett in 1941 — wanted to create a holiday that would be

uniquely African American.

In 1966, Karenga created Kwanzaa; infusing it with several characteristics he felt were important about African harvest festivals. These include the gathering of people to celebrate a common achievement, namely, the harvest; giving thanks to the Creator for life and for the crops; a celebration of one’s ancestors and the past; a recommitment to one’s community; and an optimism for the upcoming year.

These characteristics became the foundation of Kwanzaa and are known as the holiday’s life principles. Each day of Kwanzaa is dedicated to a different life principle — the Nguzo

Saba, Swahili for Seven Principles. Each day also corresponds to the lighting of a particular candle, which is lit by a different family member, or the youngest child.

Upon the lighting of the respective night’s candle, the corresponding life principle is discussed.

These principles, in order, are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

The candles, which are held in a special candleholder called a Kinara, are lit from left to right.

Kwanzaa’s colors are black, red and green.

Often, those who celebrate Kwanzaa decorate their homes in these colors.

These are also the colors of the Kwanzaa candles.

The first candle, which represents African Americans, is black. The next three candles are red, and represent the struggles of black people.

The last three candles are green and symbolize the hope that is born from past struggle.

water, juice or wine. Each member of the family then takes a sip from the cup. A little bit of liquid is poured out of the unity cup in memory of one’s ancestors.

Mazao represents the crops, which are the result of collective, productive labor. These are fruits and vegetables that members of the family enjoy eating.

The Mazao is shared and eaten during Kwanzaa.

The Kinara, or candleholder, represents the common roots of the African people. The Mishumaa Saba, or seven candles, are symbolic of the seven principles one must live by in order to lead a positive, productive life.

Muhindi represents the children of the family, as they are the future.

Muhindi is symbolized by ears of corn — one ear for each child in the family. If there are no children in the household, then one ear of corn is placed on the Mkeka to represent the children of the community.

Zawadi are gifts that are given to children during Kwanzaa. These gifts are typically educational — items that will help the children learn and be better people.

On the sixth day of Kwanzaa, which falls on New Year’s Eve, celebrants have a karamu, or large feast. The karamu is considered the high point of the holiday.

Kwanzaa always begins Dec. 26, and ends Jan. 1 of the following year.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Adult center to host weddings for New Year’s Eve JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Couples who have a marriage license and are looking for a fun and inexpensive locale to hold their ceremony can find accommodations at the Roswell Adult and Senior Center, 807 N. Missouri Ave. The center is providing a place to ring in the new year and celebrate your holy matrimony.

On Dec. 31, the center will host a New Year’s gathering from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The cost is $10 per person. The event will

feature door prizes, a raffle, food and music. Mike Greengrass and the Western Sky Band will be providing musical entertainment for those in attendance.

Magistrate Judge Clyde McKee will be performing the marriage ceremonies. McKee has performed 700 weddings in his lifetime. He has married couples at country clubs, parks and even prison. McKee said he enjoys marrying couples because of the cheerfulness and happiness that surrounds the occasion. All couples, with a marriage licence, will be honored in one ceremony.

There will be a cost of $20 per couple, for those wishing to be a part of the ceremony, this will cover a bridal bouquet and a boutonniere for the groom.

For a small additional fee, couples can get their pictures taken by the owners of a new photography shop in town. Ed and Kathy Cook recently opened a photography studio in the shopping center across from Target. The couple will take pictures, develop them on the spot and put them in frames for anyone who desires.

Once the marriage ceremony is over, those couples wishing to

Roswell Daily Record

renew their vows will be invited to do so. McKee will be performing the vow renewals as well.

Bob Power, who works at the adult center, has hosted many different dances throughout the community for many years. The New Year’s Eve dance will be the last he hosts and is the first-ever New Year’s dance he has hosted.

Power said he wants to make it a special one. Power said he is looking forward to it being his last dance as he is eager to be part of the audience, and enjoy himself, again.

Power has also taught dance

lessons for several years. He has taught ballroom, country, Latin and western dance classes. The profits from each of his classes goes toward supporting the various dances he hosts.

McKee took dance lessons from Power for three years. He said the lessons were a miracle and really helped his marriage. He has been married to his wife for 56 years.

Those wishing to be honored in the marriage ceremony must contact Powers no later than Christmas Eve. Couples wanting to renew their vows do not have to contact Powers in advance. j.bergman@roswell-record.com

Look to kids’ passions for perfect gift selections this year

NEW YORK (AP) — To the uninitiated, buying gifts for kids can feel like a treasure hunt without a map through store aisles and websites packed for the holidays. But sussing out clues may not be as difficult as it looks.

Has the young recipient ever offered you one of his homemade cupcakes? Have you seen her tear around on a little ride-on bike? Is the living room often strewn with building bricks or stacking blocks?

Casual buyers looking for presents for children they don’t know well need only focus on general interests. Mom and dad will likely take on the “it” gift of the season, or farm it out to grandma, leaving lots of room for other shoppers, whether the giftee is a builder, baker or bookish.

If that sounds too complicated, reach for the classics — in books, apparel or toys, said Rachel Jarrett, general manager of the children’s department for the sale site Gilt Groupe. A sweater with room for size variation, or mittens or hats, for example. Try toys in wood, including eco-friendly bamboo.

“We do incredibly well with wooden toys,” Jarrett said.

Anne Keane, fashion director for Lucky magazine, suggests keeping it simple. “Generally, staying with moderately classic, small gifts is the easiest route to take for all age groups,” she said. “Especially if you don’t know the kids that well.”

The handcraft site Etsy.com has unique felt toys, Keane said. And Plan Toys makes a fun wood-and-canvas shopping cart on three wheels for toddlers.

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, Jarrett urged. Wall decor may not feel terribly gifty, but Wallcandyarts.com has chalkboard decals in the shapes of elephants, apples and circles that would please lots of kids. Room organizers that play into a favorite theme can also be fun.

And there’s nothing wrong with asking your giftee’s parents for a suggestion.

“I think parents do appreciate it when you ask what might make a nice gift,” Jarrett said. “They want to make sure you’re not getting something that maybe somebody else is also getting. It’s a lot to return a toy.”

More stars for Main Street

The city’s Christmas lights create holiday cheer and the decorations begin making an appearance in November, with the Christmas trees’ lights turned on the weekend after Veterans Day. The Roswell Street Department starts its street decorating within a few days after the flags come down. Their goal is to complete the project by Dec. 3 for the Electric Light Parade.

The Roswell City Council voted on Nov. 10 to add to their cache of 8-foot Christmas stars which will extend the decorations farther up Main Street.

Dusty Huckabee of MainStreet Roswell is encouraging people to shop in town. “We need the money to stay in Roswell for gross receipts tax to create jobs,” he said He noted that MainStreet Roswell has created a coupon booklet for shoppers which are available for free at downtown stores and he urged people to pick one up for considerable discounts for anything from dinners to engine tune-ups to antiques.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDES

Roswell Daily Record

Church events to celebrate Christmas season A past production of the “Living Christmas Tree,” put on annually by the First Baptist Church in Roswell.

JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

With more than 100 churches within Roswell city limits, there will be no shortage of services or worship celebrations to attend this holiday season. Roswell, being a small city, has one of the highest numbers of churches per capita in the country.

A more than 30-year-old holiday tradition in the community is First Baptist Church’s “Living Christmas Tree.” The tree, which holds around 35 singers and is around 30 feet tall, is part of a pageant and choir presentation put on by the church annually. This year’s production will also feature a 15-piece orchestra and 10 dynamic songs.

Each year a different script for the pageant is written. Baptist Church Worship Pastor Scott Perkins and his wife, Cyndi, have written the script the past three years. Perkins said the church attempts to write a script that reflects the community.

This year’s script tells the story of a 7year-old girl who is planning a Christmas

celebration with her brother. Her father loses his job which means there is little hope for the celebration. In the production, the local newspaper is running a contest asking the community what Christmas means to them. The little girl enters her idea into the contest. The story then follows the reporter at the newspaper as he travels throughout the community asking about the value of Christmas to them.

The production will last approximately an hour and 20 minutes and is free to the public. Show times are Dec. 10 at 2 p.m., Dec. 11 at 11 a.m. and Dec. 12 at 7 p.m.

The church will also hold a family Christmas Eve service at 5 p.m. on Dec. 24. It will hold a worship service at 11 a.m. on Dec. 25.

St. John the Baptist Catholic Church will also host several holiday Masses and worship celebrations. The church will begin by holding a novenario to honor the Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 8, 9 and 10 at 7 p.m. During these dates the church will hold classes, give explanations and hold prayer sessions in honor of the Lady of Guadalupe.

From Dec 16 to Dec 24, the church will lead Posadas, which means “lodging” in Spanish. The posadas re-enact Mary and Joseph’s cold and difficult journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of shelter.

The public is welcome to attend any or all of the Posadas. During the Posadas, members of St. John’s will hold a procession to visit selected houses in Roswell. Each

household will have a nativity scene and the hosts of the Posada will act as innkeepers. Those participating in the procession will act as pilgrims and will request lodging by singing a traditional song about the pilgrims at the selected households. The hosts will then sing a reply, finally opening the doors to the guests.

The Posada on Dec. 24 will be held at the church. A Mass will also occur in conjunction with the Posada on this date.

Those wishing to receive additional information about the Posadas, such as times, can call the church office at 622-3531. The church will hold three Masses on Christmas Day. It will hold two Masses in Spanish at 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. respectively. It will also hold a Mass in English at 10 a.m.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will be holding two services on Christmas Eve. The first will be a family service earlier in the evening and the latter will be a Eucharist held at 10 p.m. j.bergman@roswell-record.com
