Christmas parade lights up downtown Roswell had its own share of people camping out on the streets, Saturday evening.

Their intent was not to outdo other shoppers and score a great deal on an expensive gift. Their intent was to get the best seat possible at the 2011 Electric Light Christmas Parade. Such was the case with Roswell newcomer Rosanna Ruffolo and her children, daughter Giovanna, 8, and son Leo, 12.

Ruffolo said she arrived some time before the parade and sat in her warm car for as long as possible. Moments before the parade slowly made its way south down a dark-

ened Main Street, she set three chairs on the curb in front of Pioneer Plaza to witness a Roswell holiday tradition for the first time.

“We’ve never been to a nighttime parade before,” said the Wisconsin native who moved to Roswell with her family a little more than a year ago. “We just want to enjoy the Christmas lights and get into the Christmas spirit.

Maybe we’ll see Santa.”

Santa did not disappoint. Along with Mrs. Claus, he drove down Main Street in an antique car. Not to be outdone by the jolly old elf, others decked antique cars with lights, decorations and their own personal, creative touches.

Energy Co. helped restore and decorate a 1953 International R170 truck. An employee of the oil and gas company painted oil rigs set against an orange background along the side of the truck.

Scott Montgomery, who rode in the truck along with other company employees and their families, said the truck is formally known as unit 088 but lovingly, and perhaps even jokingly, referred to

as “the parade truck.” He said it was bought about six years ago and has been in several parades — including an oil show in Odessa, Texas, and in a parade in Gillette, Wyo., where Agave has a sister company.

“The parade truck” was decorated with glowing spheres meant to be ornaments — the theme of this year’s light parade. The front of the truck was topped with an inflatable,

Major rehabilitation and repair work on the Spring River Channel is now completed. Repairs were made to the cracked, rubble masonry wall that surrounds the channel.

The wall reaches its highest point of 12 feet at Peppermint Park, and its lowest point of 6 feet, at Cahoon Park. It is around 4 1 ⁄ 2 miles long. The wall was built by the Works Progress Administration in 1930, according to Dick Smith, superintendent of the Chaves County Flood

Commission.

The channel itself represents the lowest point of the city, allowing it to collect and dispose of flood water. Since territorial times, the river has been the main drainage feature for the city. Water flows naturally through the channel east, into the Pecos River. In essence, the channel helps to replenish the river.

Repairs to the wall began around March and ended in October. The CCFC, the Spring River Foundation and the city reconstructed the channel between Richardson and Main

areas.

High winds were expected Saturday afternoon in northeastern New Mexico, with gusts up to 45 mph.

The next stor m was expected to move in late Saturday and could bring a few inches of snow to the state’s southern and central mountains.

A third storm is expected tonight and into Monday and will be much colder.

Forecasters say it should be stronger and could bring extensive snowfall to much of the state.

The cost of the rehabilitation was more than $1 million. Smith said the commission contributed $448,000 to the rehabilitation through the county’s budget. The work was completed to ensure the channel remains attractive and durable into the future.

France to bring embassy staff home from Iran

PARIS (AP) — France is temporarily downsizing its embassy in Iran and will bring some employees and their families home, a French official said Saturday. The move is the latest fallout from protesters’ stor ming of the British embassy in Tehran and adds to the international pressure on the Iranian government.

The French diplomatic official described the decision as a preventative security measure, and acknowledged it was a response to the attack on the U.K. mis-

sion. But he stressed the French embassy will remain open and declined to specify how many staffers will be sent home.

Some 20 to 30 French citizens, including some French-Iranian dual nationals, work at the embassy, he said. Decisions about who gets to leave will be made on a “case by case basis,” the official said. He added that the repatriations could begin as early as Sunday or See IRAN, Page A7

Defiant Cain bows out; GOP race could become 2-man

AP Photo

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain at a campaign event in Atlanta, Saturday. “I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions and the continued hurt caused on me and my family,” he told several hundred supporters gathered at what was to have been the opening of his national campaign headquarters.

ATLANTA (AP) — A defiant Herman Cain suspended his faltering bid for the Republican presidential nomination Saturday amid a drumbeat of sexual misconduct allegations against him, throwing his staunchly conservative supporters up for grabs with just one month to go before the lead-off caucuses in Iowa.

Cain condemned the accusations as “false and unproven” but said they had been hurtful to his family, particularly his wife, Gloria, and were drowning out his ability to deliver his message. His

wife stood behind him on the stage, smiling and waving as the crowd chanted her name.

“So as of today, with a lot of prayer and soulsearching, I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions and the continued hurt caused on me and my family,” a tired-looking Cain told about 400 supporters.

Cain’s announcement came five days after an Atlanta-area woman, Ginger White, claimed she and Cain had an affair for more than a decade, a claim that

print on the bill is slightly slanted in comparison to the edge.

The colors are also important. “If the ink runs or wears off, that’s never a good sign,” said Sharpe.

He war ned the merchants of the most recent scam being run on businesses, fake money orders, and he gave them clues on how best to assess the legitimacy of a money order.

“The fake money orders are most likely printed on a dot-matrix printer or copied on a Xerox. The print on them is not as crisp,” Sharpe said.

To date, only Allsup’s have been targeted, but he said it was only a matter of time before other stores are hit.

The merchants, which also included the loss prevention of ficers of two major stores, shared information about recent shoplifting incidents, so others could be on the lookout.

“I wish some of the other large box stores would

followed several allegations of sexual harassment against the Georgia businessman.

“Now, I have made many mistakes in life. Everybody has. I’ve made mistakes professionally, personally, as a candidate, in terms of how I run my campaign.

And I take responsibility for the mistakes I’ve made, and I have been the very first to own up to any mistakes I’ve made,” he said.

But Cain intoned, “I am at peace with my God. I am at peace with my wife. And she is at peace with me.”

White’s attorney said a in statement after the announcement that Cain had disparaged his client and should apologize. Cain had called her a “troubled Atlanta businesswoman” whom he had tried to help.

Cain’s announcement provides a new twist in what has already been a volatile Republican race.

For mer House Speaker Newt Gingrich has, so far, been the biggest beneficiary of Cain’s precipitous slide.

Polls show Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney atop the field in what is shaping up as a two-man race heading into early voting states.

But others, such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, will likely make a strong play for Cain’s anti-establishment tea

party backing as they look to rise as a viable alternative to Romney, whose conservative credentials are suspect in some GOP circles.

Cain said he would offer an endorsement, and his former rivals were quick to issue statements on Saturday praising his conservative ideals and grassroots appeal.

At a tea party rally in Staten Island, Gingrich praised Cain for bringing optimism and big ideas to the race.

“He had the courage to launch the 9-9-9 plan, which, whether you liked it or disliked it, was a big idea and started to elevate the debate toward big solutions and not the usual nitpicking, consultant-driven negativity,” Gingrich said.

He was referring to Cain’s catchy but controversial plan to scrap the current tax code for a 9 percent tax on personal and corporate income as well as a new 9 percent national sales tax.

Some disappointed Cain supporters were clearly in search of a candidate on Saturday following his withdrawal.

Cain told supporters he planned to continue his efforts to influence Washington and announced “Plan B” — what he called a grassroots effort to return government to the people.

Cain’s announcement

was a remarkable tur nabout for a man who just weeks ago vaulted out of nowhere to the top of the GOP field, propelled by a populist, outsider appeal and his tax overhaul plan.

Saturday’s event was a bizarre piece of political theater even for a campaign that has seemed to thrive on defying convention.

Cain marked the end of his bid at what was supposed to be the grand opening of his new campaign headquarters in Atlanta. Minutes before he took the stage to pull the plug, aides and supporters took to the podium to urge attendees to vote for Cain and travel to early voting states to rev up support for his bid.

Volunteers had been up through the night preparing the for mer flooring warehouse to open as the new hub of Cain’s earlystate outreach.

He marveled at rising from a childhood in Atlanta marked by segregated water fountains and poverty to what he called “the final four” of the presidential contest.

The former Godfather’s Pizza chief executive, who has never held elective office, rose just weeks ago to lead the Republican race. But he fumbled policy questions, leaving some to wonder whether he was ready for the presidency.

Then it was revealed at the end of October that the National Restaurant Association had paid settlements to two women who claimed Cain sexually harassed them while he was president of the organization.

A third woman told The Associated Press that Cain made inappropriate sexual advances but that she did not file a complaint. A fourth woman also stepped forward to accuse Cain of groping her in a car in 1997.

Cain has denied wrongdoing in all cases and continued to do so Saturday.

Polls suggest his popularity had suffered. A Des Moines Register poll released Friday showed Cain’s support plunging, with backing from 8 percent of Republican caucus goers in Iowa, compared with 23 percent a month ago.

But Cain said Saturday he would not go away and would continue trying to influence Washington from the outside, He announced the formation of TheCainSolutions. com, which he described as a grassroots effort to bring gover nment back to the people. It would also continue to push his signature 9-9-9 plan.

“I am not going to be silenced, and I am not going away,” he said.

The topic under discussion during this month’s meeting was counter feit bills. Sgt. Ty Sharpe brought in numerous samples that had been passed to local merchants to show the participants how to identify them.

One of the primary things businesses are asked to check is the texture of the bills. “Often they don’t feel right,” said Sharpe.

He also noted that employees need to check the strip and the watermark. The denomination is written on the strip and the image of the president on watermark should match the image on the bill.

Sharpe pointed out that often the cut of the bill is not straight, meaning the

become involved. Of course, small businesses benefit, but it’s the big box stores that will be hardest hit. The small business owners will be familiar with the people who come into their stores, but with the high volume business of the big box stores, they may not always notice or recognize the shoplifters when they return,” he said.

He informed the group if they have multiple stores in Roswell and a shoplifter is caught, he or she must be advised of criminal trespass at all locations. Criminal trespass, which bans a person from returning to a store, is only good at the one store, unless all stores are included in the trespass notification.

LAKEVILLE, Mass. (AP) — Ocean Spray on Friday expanded its ongoing recall of some of its Craisins dried cranberry products to include five more “Best By” code dates, because the packages could contain very small metal fragments.

The recall involves 5ounce, 10-ounce and 48ounce packages of the sweetened, dried cranberries that were sold in the western United States.

The hair-like metal fragments are unlikely to cause injury if swallowed, Ocean Spray said.

Spokesman John Isaf told The Associated Press in an email Friday that the company experienced an equipment malfunction in its Markham,

Wash., dried cranberry manufacturing facility and that the source had been identified and is in the process of being corrected.

Isaf said the company “discovered a tiny fragment in 1 of the packages and then notified the FDA and began the recall process.”

The recall was originally announced on Nov. 25 and involved 17 “Best By” code dates. Ocean Spray said it has yet to receive any consumer complaints of metal fragments. No injuries or adverse effects have been reported so far, the company said.

The additional five recalled lots were shipped to retailers in Arizona, Califor nia, Colorado,

Cutting deficits harder than just talking about it

AP Photo

Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of President Obama’s Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, testifies on Capitol Hill before the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, Nov. 1. Sitting with Bowles are, from left: former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, former White House Budget Director Alice Rivlin, and former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The coming year-end spending spree after so much debate over budget deficits shows just how hard it is to stem the government’s flow of red ink.

Lawmakers are poised to spend $120 billion or so to renew a Social Security tax cut that averaged just under $1,000 per household this year. They’re ready to commit up to $50 billion more to continue unemployment benefits to people out of work for more than half a year.

And doctors have no reason to doubt they won’t be rescued, again, from steep cuts in their Medicare payments. Combine that with the tax cuts and jobless benefits, and Congress could add almost $200 billion to the federal ledger this month.

That’s why it’s excruciatingly difficult to cut the deficit, even when the House is dominated by tea party forces.

The year-end spree follows the failure of three high-profile

efforts at big deficit deals: talks led by Vice President Joe Biden; ef forts by President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to strike a “grand bargain”; and the ignominious cratering of a special deficit supercommittee before Thanksgiving.

Each disintegrated in great measure over the question of taxes. But their failures also illustrate the tremendous difficulty in getting anyone to actually cut spending.

The singular success in attacking the deficit this year came after a protracted battle this summer over whether to let the government continue borrowing. That fight finally produced a promise of more than $2 trillion in cuts over the coming decade.

Even with those savings, new government borrowing would be on track to total four or five times that amount over the same period.

The debt-deficit deal contained virtually no specific cuts to any program. Instead, it would reap $900 billion over 10 years by capping the annual day-to-day operating budgets of Cabinet agencies below inflation.

The deal also set up the bipartisan supercommittee and told it to produce a plan that would cut $1.2 trillion more from future deficits. If the panel failed, as it did, the alternative was automatic spending cuts of a like amount to domestic and military programs.

The budget caps are indeed tough, but they’re also easy to support because most of the pain comes in the future. Likewise, the across-the-board cuts, which start in January 2013, won’t cause any immediate hardship.

With projected federal spending expected to total about $4 trillion each of the next two years, the August budget pact would cut spending by $25 billion in 2012 and by $115 billion in 2013, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

“They’ve sketched out the outlines but they haven’t painted the picture, and that’s the hard part,” said Robert Reischauer, president of the Urban Institute and director of the Congressional Budget Of fice during the deficit battles of the early 1990s.

“They have yet to make the tough decisions.”

No sooner had the budget deal been adopted than defense hawks such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., pledged to block nearly half a trillion dollars in automatic spending cuts for the Pentagon and its military contractors.

“I will not be the Armed Services (Committee) chairman who presides over crippling our military,” said Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif.

Sunday, December 4, 2011

Congressional champions of defense interests aren’t the only lawmakers scampering to protect their favorite programs. The supercommittee’s experience exposed the great difficulty of coaxing lawmakers to embrace real spending cuts in other programs.

The chair men and senior minority members of the Senate and House agriculture committees tried to add a five-year farm bill onto a deficit panel package that never came together. They promised “reforms” that would end much-criticized direct subsidy payments to Southern rice and cotton growers whether they farm or not.

But instead of banking the nearly $50 billion in savings, farm-state lawmakers maneuvered to channel much of the money to a new subsidy for locking in four -decade-high revenues for cor n and soybean growers in the Midwest.

The new subsidy would act as a free revenue insurance and could pay out if a farm lost as little as 13 percent of its revenue in a year. They easily could end up costing the government as much or more than the current subsidies to cotton and rice growers The revenue insurance idea, said Bruce Babcock, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University, is a “cynical attempt to turn deficit reduction into a guarantee of prosperity for largescale agricultural interests.”

Republicans insist that extending the Social Security tax cut and jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed must be paid for through cuts to other programs or finding other nontax sources of money for them.

But using any such arrangements means they’re no longer available for cutting deficits.

A list presented Friday to

Republicans at a private caucus contained “cuts” that are among the easiest to enact. They include around $15 billion from new auctions of broadcast spectrum to wireless companies, and $35 billion by increasing the fee that mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge lenders to guarantee repayment of new loans. The fee increase would add $15 a month to the monthly cost of an average new mortgage, the White House estimates.

Conspicuously absent are politically nettlesome proposals such as raising airline security fees from the current rate of $2.50 per trip leg, which was part of a recent proposal by supercommittee Republicans.

These spending cuts are measured over 10 years to pay for deficit spending that occurs over the next year or so, which has generated much grumbling among conservatives.

“It’s a gimmick,” said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. He complained that the pay-for proposals are spread over a decade while the tax savings to workers and aid for the unemployed are for a single year. He predicted the same dance would occur again a year from now when both parties will feel the political pressure to renew them again.

The White House, after saying all fall that Obama’s jobs agenda must be paid for with tax increases on high-income earners, appears willing to simply pad the nation’s $15 trillion national debt instead of finding offsetting cuts.

“It’s not even anymore about how you pay for it,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “It’s whether or not one party actually supports giving tax cuts to middle-class Americans.”

Justice details how it got Fast and Furious statements wrong

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Friday provided Congress with documents detailing how department officials gave inaccurate information to a U.S. senator in the controversy surrounding Operation Fast and Furious, the flawed law enforcement initiative aimed at dismantling major ar ms trafficking networks on the Southwest border.

In a letter last February to Charles Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Justice Department said that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firear ms had not sanctioned the sale of assault weapons to a straw purchaser and that the agency makes every effort to intercept weapons that have been purchased illegally. In Operation Fast and Furious, both statements turned out to be incorrect.

The Justice Department letter was responding to Grassley’s statements that the Senate Judiciary Committee had received allegations the ATF had sanctioned the sale of hundreds of assault weapons to suspected straw purchasers.

Grassley also said there were allegations that two of the assault weapons had been used in a shootout that killed customs agent Brian Terry.

In an email four days later to Justice Department colleagues, then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke in Phoenix said, “Grassley’s assertions regarding the

Arizona investigation and the weapons recovered” at the “murder scene are based on categorical falsehoods. I worry that ATF will take 8 months to answer this when they should be refuting its underlying accusations right now.”

That email marked the start of an internal debate in the Justice Department over what and how much to say in response to Grassley’s allegations. The fact that there was an ongoing criminal investigation into Terry’s murder prompted some at the Justice Department to argue for less disclosure.

Some of what turned out to be incorrect information was emailed to Lanny Breuer, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department’s criminal division. Breuer sent an email saying, “let’s help as much as we can” in responding to Grassley.

The emails sent to Capitol Hill on Friday showed that Burke supplied additional incorrect information to the Justice Department’s criminal division that ended up being forwarded to Breuer. For example, Burke said that the guns found at the Terry murder scene were purchased at a Phoenix gun shop before Operation Fast and Furious began. In fact, the operation was under way at the time and the guns found at the Terry murder scene were part of the probe.

Breuer was one of the recipients of that information. In written comments

this week to Grassley, Breuer said that he was on a three-day official trip to Mexico at the time of the Department Justice response and that he was aware of, but not involved in, drafting the Justice Department statements to Grassley. Breuer says he cannot say for sure whether he saw a draft of the letter before it was sent to Grassley.

Where Burke got the inaccurate information is now part of an inquiry conducted by the inspector general’s office at the Justice Department.

Burke’s information was followed by a three-day struggle in which officials in the office of the deputy attorney general, the criminal division and the ATF came up with what turned out to be an inaccurate response to Grassley’s assertions.

The process became so intensive that Breuer aide Jason Weinstein emailed his boss, “The Magna Carta was easier to get done than this was.” A copy of the latest draft was attached to the emails.

Initial drafts of the letter reflected the hard tone of Burke’s unequivocal asser-

tions that the allegations Grassley was hearing from ATF agents were wrong.

Later drafts were more prompting measured, Burke to complain in one email, “Every version gets weaker. We will be apologizing” to Grassley “by tomorrow afternoon.” Regarding the allegation that ATF sanctioned the sale of assault weapons to a straw purchaser, the Justice Department denial was scaled back slightly from “categorically false” to “false.” “Why poke the tiger,” Lisa Monaco, the top aide to the deputy attorney general, explained in an email to Ron Weich, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs whose signature was on the letter.

In another email, Burke wrote, “By the way, what is so of fensive about this whole project” of response “is that Grassley’s staff, acting as willing stooges for the Gun Lobby, have attempted to distract from the incredible success in dismantling” Southwest Border “gun traf ficking operations” and “not uttering one word of rightful praise and thanks to ATF — but, instead, lobbing this reckless despicable accusa-

On Friday night, Grassley spokeswoman Beth Levine said, “Burke personally apologized to Sen. Grassley’s staff for the tone and the content of the emails” after learning from the Justice Department that the emails would be released.

It is unusual for the Justice Department to provide such detail of its internal deliberations as it did on Friday with Congress.

The department turned over 1,364 pages of material after concluding “that we will make a rare exception to the department’s recognized protocols and provide you with information related to how the inaccurate infor mation came to be included in the letter,”

Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa, RCalif., chair man of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is looking into the Obama administration’s handling of Operation Fast and Furious.

Operation Fast and Furious involved more than 2,000 weapons that were purchased by straw buyers at Phoenix-area gun stores.

Nearly 700 of the Fast and Furious guns have been recovered — 276 in Mexico and 389 in the United States, according to ATF data as of Oct. 20.

Amid probes by Republicans in Congress and the IG, the Justice Department in August replaced Burke, acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson and the lead prosecutor in Operation Fast and Furious.

OPINION

Redistricting process is always a dirty business

SANTA FE — Redistricting of legislative and congressional seats has to be the most politically dirty activity in government. Any party in control will attempt to draw new districts to benefit itself in any way possible.

No one’s seat is safe. The majority party leadership may be the safest. But a governor of the opposite party might be able, through a veto and subsequent court action, to make the road bumpy.

Former House Speaker Raymond Sanchez made it rough on himself by letting his district move closer to the Albuquerque Heights in order to give fellow Democrats easier precincts in the Valley.

The strategies involved in putting together district maps are complex and often very subtle. It is easy to spot a gerrymandered district when it looks like a salamander designed by its namesake Elbridge Gerry.

But a district can be fairly compact and still have political or racial subtleties that are difficult to spot.

That is why a group of Republi-

cans has asked for and received communications between Democratic leaders and Brian Sanderoff, the Legislature’s redistricting consultant.

Democratic leaders claimed those communications were privileged but redistricting Judge James Hall ruled that even if they were privileged, they lost their status when Sanderoff’s name showed up on the expert witness list provided by the legislative leadership.

The leaders claim the release will have “terrible policy implications” but the judge ruled that Republicans are entitled to know the instructions given Sanderoff so they can determine Democratic motiva-

tions.

Legislators always have maintained that the determination of legislative motivation is protected by the state constitution. Judge Hall steered clear of that subject by saying Sanderhoff would have to answer all those questions on cross examination anyway.

This could be a crack in the dike that may be explored more fully on a future occasion. You can be sure Republican lawyers are, at this moment, sifting through all the memos, emails, notes of conversations and other documents in preparation for court hearings scheduled to begin Monday.

A very promising sign is the announcement to Judge Hall last week that a bipartisan agreement is in the works on the congressional redistricting map. The changes would be minimal. A few details need to be worked out before the hearing scheduled to begin Monday.

Changes in legislative district maps will be heard later this month

and into January. No public word has been heard on any behind-thescenes negotiations on those maps.

The recent flak around release of the Sanderoff communications won’t help any agreement there.

But possible agreement on congressional alignments would make New Mexico stand out nationally.

All states are having problems.

Recently, I wrote about the only states in the nation with a fighting chance for agreement on redistricting are those in which citizens are allowed to put constitutional amendments on the ballot without them having to go through the Legislature and being signed by the governor.

Those states have created independent redistricting commissions.

But now the news has been pouring in showing that even in those states political leaders are doing everything they can to override the will of the people.

In Arizona, Gov. Jan Brewer fired the chairman of the independent committee even though she had no

power to either appoint or remove the chairman. The state Supreme Court ruled she couldn’t do it but the governor insists she is going to do it anyway.

My previous column on redistricting, touting independent commissions, drew comments from academics in several states explaining how independent commissions still can be thwarted by majority political parties in any state.

These academics are developing various formulas to objectively apportion districts. No Legislature ever will adopt them but in states where voters still can put them on the ballot, there is plenty of time before the next round of redistricting in 2021.

That still leaves New Mexico out of the game. But if Monday’s court hearing results in a bipartisan congressional redistricting plan, New Mexico can hold its head high.

Sales tax a tough sell

When Roswell voters go to the polls in March to vote for city government positions, they will also have the opportunity to decide whether to create a new gross receipts tax to fund economic development efforts. The tax has already appeared on ballots twice, and was defeated twice. If the election was held right now, we’d place our bet on the tax being voted down a third time.

The first time the tax was proposed it was rushed to a vote in a special election before anyone really had a handle on what it was all about. We knew how much it was going to cost and that it would go toward economic development, but details beyond that were hard to come by.

The second time around there was a much better effort to explain the tax and what it would be used for. We came out in support of the tax that time and stand by our position.

Used properly, this could be an invaluable tool for our community.

Unfortunately, the timing for this third vote could hardly be worse. Nationwide, the public is in no mood to have government take public money and spend it to benefit private business.

Stimulus programs and corporate bailouts have left a bad taste in the mouths of voters everywhere.

Locally, the city hasn’t had the best track record either when it comes to putting public funds on the line in the hope of getting a new business on its feet. We hope the City Council has learned its lesson when it comes to loaning money to private business.

What we are in favor of though, and it’s our understanding this is what the new tax would support, is spending money on public infrastructure improvements geared toward courting new businesses. Improving roads and utility systems or upgrading city buildings to meet the needs of potential renters is a sound investment.

With that said, the city still has a long ways to go to promote the tax. Despite statements to the contrary, what we are hearing in public is that people see this as a fund to wine and dine businesses and offer perks to unproven enterprises on the taxpayers’ dime. We understand this isn’t the case, but there needs to be a lot of convincing if this tax is to be approved.

The public needs to be given an opportunity to hear this from the mayor and the City Council directly. And not just at council meetings.

We encourage our elected officials to actively make their case. We would welcome the opportunity to publish the thoughts of the mayor and the council on this page, and as is it turns out, we are publishing the first of a series of columns from the mayor today.

We would also encourage the city to host meetings on different days of the week and at different times and locations to allow for public discussion. In the not too distant past the City Council and the Roswell Police Department hosted a number of town halls.

Those were a great forum for interaction between residents and government. It is unfortunate the town hall meetings didn’t continue.

Working to gain support for this tax would be a good reason to reinstitute public gatherings in an atmosphere more loosely structured than the monthly council meetings.

This tax is going to be a very hard sell. In order to get the tax approved, city government is going to have to explain how it will work over and over to audiences and demonstrate a willingness to listen to even the most intractable critics. Once educated fully about the tax, we believe Roswell’s voters will recognize the opportunities provided by this initiative.

DEAR DOCTOR K.: My teenage son has moderate acne, and it’s starting to affect his selfesteem. How can I help him treat it?

DEAR READER: Acne is widespread among adolescents. That’s probably small comfort to your son. It bothers him, and you want to help him. (Of course, he may not want his parents to help him — after all, he’s a teenager.)

So the first thing you don’t want to do is perpetuate common acne myths. Specifically, you should know that: — Eating chocolate or greasy foods does not cause acne.

— Washing one’s face too often or with harsh soaps or scrubbing pads will not help.

— Regular exercise is essential for overall health and well-being.

A chance to invest in Roswell’s growth As we approach the end of another year, I hold true to the belief that our best days are yet to come. In 2011, the city of Roswell experienced some powerful victories and we suffered some painful setbacks. But throughout the course of the year, as a community, we have diligently kept our eye on the prize: a safe and prosperous community ... and truth-be-known we get closer each and every day.

My love for Roswell, and my admiration for the people who call Roswell home, is challenged only by the fact that many of our friends and

There are some suggestions you can give your teen to help prevent and treat acne.

— Wash the face gently with mild soap. Don’t wash too often or use harsh scrubs.

— Don’t pinch, pick at or “pop” pimples: This can increase inflammation.

— Don’t constantly feel the pimples. Your fingers can spread bacteria that help cause more pimples.

— Eat lots of fruits and vegetables: They contain antioxidants that reduce inflammation.

— Get a good night’s sleep.

This, too, quiets inflammation.

— Learn ways to manage stress and lower anxiety. (Yes, I know: Not easy in a teen.)

— Shower immediately after exercising. It keeps pores open,

allowing a handful of citizens to determine the economic success of Roswell. It’s time to right the wrong and return the decision-making process to the citizens. It’s time for Roswell to take care of Roswell.

Where Roswell was once the second largest city in New Mexico, we are now the fifth largest. Where we were once a leader in economic prosperity, we are now the ninth largest in per capita gross receipts revenues, among the 10 largest cities in the state.

Without realizing what was happening, we have become a poor city in a poor state, and

which reduces the chance that pimples will start.

— When shaving, use an electric razor if possible. If shaving with a straight razor, use warm water with lots of lather and shave in the direction of hair growth. Shaving this way is less likely to cause skin injury that can turn into pimples.

— Teenage girls should use “non-comedogenic” makeup: It should not make acne worse.

— Cover the skin while using hairstyling products.

Even if your teenager follows all of these recommendations, he still may get acne. If so, take him to his pediatrician to discuss treatment options.

Prepare your teen to be patient.

that is unacceptable. The good news is we can do better!

How to best reclaim our future becomes the question.

One option is to continue doing what we’re doing and hope for dif ferent results.

Another is to climb out of our comfort zone and take care of business.

Clarity, focus, discipline and action in life OPINION

Roswell Daily Record

Have you ever had a young person look up at you and say, “When I grow up I want to be a martyr”?

Although I would be concer ned if I hear d these words from a youngster, my next question would be “A martyr for what?”

Mor e than likely, if I knew the young person at all before this exchange, I would not need to ask the question “for what?” What I am saying is that if the person is so convicted to a cause that he was pr epared to sacrifice his life for it, anyone who knew the person in any form or fashion would know that person’s passion.

As a child I remember watching at school an old black and white film of a lady at a horse race who threw her body from the inside rail in fr ont of a horse sprinting down the stretch. The purpose of her act was to raise awareness for a cause she

believed in. She died from her act and I remember the teacher telling us that she was a martyr. This was my first understanding of what a martyr is. I can’t tell you what her cause was, but the image of her doing this remains in my head more than four decades later.

Anyone who would be called a martyr is a person of deep beliefs. Being a martyr does not mean a person has to die. One definition of “martyr” is “one who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause or principle.”

as a community, then our future will be what we desire. By creating a strong business environment, business opportunities will abound.

Private sector jobs are the key to our prosperity. The wealth created from new and expanding payrolls, as well as the sense of achievement that comes from a paycheck, are the key components for a healthy community. With the increase of jobs and new wealth for our citizens, we’ll begin to strengthen our economic base. Private sector jobs create the wages necessary to purchase locally provided goods and services, further increasing our labor force and effectively increasing the city’s gross receipts revenues. At that point, we have secured a sustainable source of revenue which will allow the city to provide a greater quality of life for our citizens.

In order for Roswell to succeed in creating an environment for private sector jobs, it is imperative that we become competitive in our approach. Simply put, we must show our willingness to make an investment in the economic potential of our community, before we can rightfully expect a business to make a significant investment in the economic development of our workforce. If we continue to do nothing, nothing is what we’ll continue to get. On the other hand, if we aggressively pursue the creation of new buildings and infrastructure, then we can begin to reap the benefits of sound economic development for everyone.

Sound economic development is an invitation for a larger selection of retail businesses and restaurants, for activities that cater to our youth and to our seniors, for enhanced health care opportunities and a greater variety of family activities. Sound economic development has benefited communities across the United States for years, and it’s time that we bring those same benefits to our unique corner of the world.

The history of mankind is laced with countless martyrs. Every cause of any significance has a leader who has devoted his or her life to advancing the cause. From Jesus to Mother Teresa, from John Wesley to Martin Luther King Jr., lives have been lived and taken for core beliefs.

So what does all this have to do with clarity, focus, discipline and action? A martyr is a driven person, who lives his or her life with clarity, focus, discipline and action.

People who have a deep belief (or beliefs) live their lives with clarity. Every life needs clarity. Clarity brings direction for a person to move from where they are at any given point in their life to where their passion is leading them.

Clarity reveals what direction to move in a fog filled world.

How much clarity do

Like most worthwhile things in life, sound economic development is not free.

Fortunately, an increase in our current gross receipts tax from 7.125 percent to 7.25 percent is not insurmountable for most people. It equates to an additional $1.25 for every $1,000 of goods and services purchased within the city of Roswell, excluding groceries and prescription medications.

Certainly, it will be a struggle for some. However, I believe that those are the ones who might benefit the most from this gross receipts tax, as higher paying jobs, greater benefits and more sustainable careers are established.

When voters say yes to this tax increase, we will utilize the annual revenues generated to leverage the cost of manufacturing and aviation based building improvements, infrastructure improvements and other approved uses of the funds. This effectively opens the door to a more prosperous community and sets us on our way to a stronger quality of life.

It’s not easy for me to ask the community to take on this additional financial responsibility, especially when families are struggling and taxes seem to be today’s “root of all evil.” However, I’m convinced that Roswell’s future rides on the voters’ approval of this initiative, and I ask for your support.

I will ask the City Council to approve the placement of this Municipal Infrastructure Gross Receipts Tax for the March 6, 2012, election ballot. Between now and election day, I encourage you to learn more about communities that currently have this tax and how each has benefited from the creation of jobs.

Finally, in future columns, I will address specific questions and concerns that voters have, I will address the merits of the tax, and I will address the role of local government in economic development efforts. Good information leads to good decisions.

Beginning today ... let’s Grow Roswell Together!

you have in your life?

What if your life had clarity in everything you did?

What is keeping your life from having clarity?

A martyr must take his clarity and pair it with focus to determine how to best spend the years of his life here on this planet.

Each of our lives are short when placed on the spectrum of time. One hundred years from now there will be all new people.

What if every step you take had the same focus?

What if clarity provided direction, and focus provided specificity to your direction? Could you move closer to the target you have defined?

A martyr takes clarity, focuses it, and then pairs these two with a disciplined life to stay on track one day at a time and even one hour at a time.

Are you disciplined in the life you ar e living?

Even with clarity and focus, a person’s life won’t accomplish what is needed to be accomplished without discipline.

And finally, a successful martyr must be a person of action. Without action, clarity, focus and discipline can’t move the ball forwar d and down the field. A person can sit around and discuss what needs to be accomplished, but until there is action, the person can’t bring about change.

I sometimes think there are causes where people take action, but don’t have clarity to their actions, nor do they fully understand

Dr. K

the cause they ar e involved in. Action is the “fire” in “ready, aim, fire.”

Clarity, focus and discipline are the “ready” and “aim.” When a martyr takes action, he makes sure “fire” occurs.

Often we think and don’t act. The Good Samaritan would never have been remembered if he only had good intentions.

Our enemy against our cause that begins with clarity is “justification.”

How often do we act and then seek to justify our act after the fact? It is better to do a difficult right than an easy wrong. Typically we know what needs to be done and the right thing to do.

Instead of implementing what we would say is clarity in our world, we instead fail to act or act inconsistent with our core belief and then we justify the action, or failure to act, we have just done. If we are acting consistent with our belief, there is no need for justification.

Clarity is faith in the futur e. If a person has faith in the future, he has confidence in the present.

Oftentimes faith is taking the first step on a staircase that is leading you to an unknown place.

We lose clarity when we get caught up in the trivial. It is the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out. I sometimes think getting bogged down in trivial matters becomes a knock out punch to a person’s clari-

Often we live in a fog of distractions and we wander fr om point to point maybe generally moving in the right direction, but not r eally getting wher e we need to get. We get so bogged down in the trivial that we lose sight of the big picture.

My challenge to you is to live your life with clarity.

You have only one life to spend here on Earth. Does your life stand for what you want it to? With clarity, everything you do should be consistent with the plan for your life.

Begin with clarity, then add focus, discipline and action, and watch what happens. We should live with clarity of purpose and we should be people of action. Clarity and action can result in great things.

They can result in a life well lived. A person can become a hero with clarity, focus, discipline and action designed to make a difference in the lives of others.

I hope you don’t ever have to give your life as a martyr for what you believe in, but if your heart and soul is truly attached to a cause, becoming a martyr is just part of the price.

Stranger Danger for the holidays ... or anytime

We have now been in the middle of the holiday season for a while. Thanksgiving 2011 is over and Christmas is fast approaching. It is a glorious time of the year, but also a time when we all must be more aware of potential danger for our kids and for all of us as well. This topic has much more information than can be expressed in a relatively short column such as this, and so it is likely that you’ll see more in upcoming weeks. Today, let’s talk about “Stranger Danger.”

Stranger danger is a set of buzz words commonly used when we teach children about the inherent dangers they may face when they meet others. We need to be sure that our children are taught these things. Strangers can be

men or women, young or old.

They can have any color skin.

Some are tall and some are short, some are thin yet some are heavy. Some strangers are pretty and some are not so pretty. Some strangers can speak different languages. Most strangers are nice, but some strangers are mean.

Because we don't know if some-

Roswell Daily Record

one is a good stranger or a bad one, children should not talk to anyone they don't know. Unfortunately, we have to teach our children that there are people out there who prey on them — little boys and little girls too. It is a very important issue that all parents must address — and one that requires ongoing, open communication with their children.

The single most important thing to remember when teaching your children about stranger danger is to instill in them confidence, rather than fear. You want to equip your child with the knowledge and strategies they need to protect themselves in dangerous situations. Also, be sure to keep your child’s age and maturity level in mind and base

lessons upon that. Again, stranger danger lessons should be ongoing — adapt the conversation as your child grows because the situations will change. Here are some Stranger Danger tips for kids: Always tell your parents where you are and avoid walking anywhere alone. Don’t take shortcuts through a wooded or secluded area. Stay away from strangers and do not tell your name or your address to someone you don’t know. If a stranger asks you to help them find a lost pet, don’t do it. And never get into a car or go into anyone’s house or place of business unless you are with your parents.

Run away if a stranger bothers you. Be aware of safe places that

you can go, such as Police and Fire Stations. Talk this over with Mom and Dad. If there are places where you don’t feel safe, tell them about that too. If a stranger follows you or grabs for you, yell loud and make a lot of noise. Say “No!” anytime someone touches you in a bad way. Never open the door for a stranger or tell a stranger that you are home alone.

Finally, talk with your parents about a secret code word and what it means.

Biden touts political freedoms at international forum Roswell Daily Record

ISTANBUL (AP) — A free political climate is essential to economic innovation, and countries that try to censor the Inter net are pursuing a “dead end,” U.S. Vice President Joe Biden told a group of young entrepreneurs gathered in Istanbul on Saturday.

The international forum, which drew hundreds of attendees, followed up on a meeting in Washington last year aimed at deepening ties between the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

Biden said a political system based on freedom of speech and religion also is the “truest shield” against sectarian strife that has

Murphy said she hoped the parade would bring a bit of Christmas cheer to the Roswell community. She said that, given current world circumstances, spreading cheer, even as a participant in a modest parade, is significant.

“I would like everyone to pray for peace,” she said. “Not only for the whole world, but our community itself. Maybe (people can) find peace within themselves.”

afflicted the Middle East, as well as western Europe in past centuries.

“Democratic revolutions like the ones in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, and the ones still unfolding in Syria and Yemen, are imbued, literally imbued, with entrepreneurial spirit, a spirit that requires risk and initiative, steadfast determination, and a unifying idea,” Biden said.

He stressed the importance of a “free political climate in which ideas and innovation can flourish,” adding that governments should not try to close the Internet to free expression.

“Those countries will find that that approach is a

“They were really spectacular,” said Dusty Huckabee, director of MainStreet Roswell, of the bright fire truck.

Those who missed Krumland’s eye-catching ode to the holidays may still see it, as it will be driven around town at night until Christmas, Huckabee said.

Baptist Calvary Church won in the church division. In the youth division, the Mountain View Middle School band received the top honor. The Chaves County Road Department won in the nonprofit division.

Winners were given trophies.

dead end,” he said.

“They may try to build walls between these different activities, but there isn’t a separate economic Internet, a political Internet and a social Internet. There is simply an Internet and it must remain free and open,” Biden said.

America has a history of innovation, Biden said, noting the success of companies such as Apple and Google, as well as breakthroughs in medical technology such as mobile phone apps that can help diagnose malaria.

He praised Turkey, noting that the Muslim ally’s economy has tripled in size over the last decade.

Turkey’s deputy prime minister, Ali Babacan, said Turkey was an example for the region of how Islam and democracy can coexist peacefully.

“International theories are OK, but a living example is much more convincing,” Babacan said. He

referred to a “problem of political leadership” in some European countries, an apparent reference to the continent’s economic turmoil as well as Turkey’s frustration over its stalled bid to join the European Union.

The U.S. leader arrived in Turkey late Thursday and has been meeting with top officials here. He has urged Turkey to impose new sanctions on Iran, while praising Ankara for its role in pressuring Syria to stop its deadly crackdown on anti-government protesters.

Also Saturday, Biden visited the Istanbul home of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is recovering from a surgery. The meeting lasted about two hours. In a picture distributed by Erdogan’s office, the prime minister was seen standing next to Biden as the two leaders smiled. Erdogan was wearing a shirt and jacket but no tie.

In the meeting, Erdogan asked Biden about U.S. intentions in Iraq, and the vice president said the U.S. military pullout there did not entail American disengagement because robust civilian initiatives will continue, a senior U.S. administration official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.

Biden also stressed the U.S. commitment to assisting Turkey in its fight against autonomy-seeking Kurdish rebels, according to the official. The U.S. has deployed four Predator drones to Turkey from Iraq and also agreed to sell three helicopter gunships to help fight the rebels, who stage attacks on Turkish targets from their bases in northern Iraq.

Biden also expressed hope to Erdogan that Turkey and Israel, U.S. allies whose ties have deteriorated sharply, would seek opportunities to repair

It has prompted Iran’s most serious diplomatic fallout with the West since the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy after the Islamic Revolution, and some Iranian political figures have voiced doubts over whether anything can be gained from escalating the diplomatic battle.

Britain has pulled its

diplomats out of Iran and expelled Iranian diplomats from its soil. France announced earlier this week that it was recalling its ambassador for consultations following the attack, as have Germany and the Netherlands. Italy and Spain summoned Iranian envoys to condemn the attacks.

The embassy attack has helped fuel support for additional sanctions on the Iranian government over its nuclear program.

their relationship, the U.S. official said. The American vice president also said he hoped Turkey would reopen a seminary that trained generations of Greek Orthodox patriarchs.

The Halki Theological School on Heybeliada Island, near Istanbul, was closed to new students in 1971 under a law that put religious and military training under state control. The school closed its doors in 1985, when the last five students graduated.

Biden later traveled in his motorcade to meet Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians, at his headquarters in Istanbul.

In August, Turkey’s government said it was returning hundreds of properties confiscated from the country’s Christian and Jewish minorities over the past 75 years in a gesture to religious groups who complain of discrimination.

The U.S. and Wester n allies including Britain suspect Iran is trying to build a weapons program, but Tehran says it is only interested in nuclear energy.

On Saturday, the Iranian diplomats expelled from London arrived home, the official IRNA news agency reported. The roughly two dozen diplomats and their families were greeted at Tehran’s Mehrabad airport and given a hero’s welcome by about 150 hard-liners.

AZTEC — The Goddard Rocket opened the 2011 season ranked No. 1 and they stayed atop those rankings for the entire season.

Until Saturday, that is.

The Aztec Tigers made a gutsy call to go for two with about four minutes left in the game and stopped Goddard on the next drive to claim their first state championship since 1953 with a 28-27 triumph in the NMAA Class 4A state championship game at Fred Cook Memorial Stadium.

With 8:58 left in the game, Aztec (13-0) took over at its own 20 after a Goddard touchdown that gave the Rockets a 27-20 lead.

The Tigers proceeded to march the length of the

field in 11 plays and scored with 4:02 left on a Michael Perry 9-yard TD run.

Aztec coach Brad Hirsch called timeout before the PAT try and sent the offense back onto the field.

Adam Quarterback Lucero raced to his right looking for Derrick Hirsch, but decided to tuck it and run. Josh Quiroz came up to meet him at the 2, but Lucero leaped over Quiroz into the end zone for a goahead two-point conversion.

“We talked about that on Tuesday,” Hirsch said about the decision to go for two. “We kind of prepped for it for three days.”

Rocket coach Sam Jernigan, who dropped to 5-7 all-time in state championship games, said he wasn’t surprised at all that Aztec decided to go for the win.

“No, not at all,” he said.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS UNC FALLS TO KENTUCKY

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kendall Marshall believed No. 5 North Carolina was on the cusp of a breakthrough win in the closing seconds.

Freshman Anthony Davis turned those ideas away.

Davis blocked John Henson’s shot in the final seconds as No. 1 Kentucky held on to beat the Tar Heels 73-72 on Saturday to extend the Wildcats’ home winning streak to 39 games.

“I just knew we were going to win the game,” Marshall said. “It took a couple of seconds to realize he blocked the shot.”

Davis grabbed the rebound and Kentucky wasn’t fouled as time expired.

“I do the same thing to other guys,” Henson said.

“He did it to me.”

Freshman Michael KiddGilchrist had 17 points and 11 rebounds as a spark Kentucky (8-0) needed early before Doron Lamb took control on offense with 12 of his 14 points in the second half with more than two dozen NBA scouts and front office personnel watching one of the most heavily hyped matchups of the season.

This one came down to the final possession.

Reggie Bullock hit a 3pointer for North Carolina (6-2) to cut the Wildcats’ lead to 73-72 with 48 seconds left. After Marquis Teague missed the front end of a one-and-one, Davis blocked Henson’s shot, grabbed the rebound and the Wildcats ran out the clock.

“Anthony came up with a crucial block and saved the game for us,” Kentucky guard Darius Miller said. “I just knew if he got that shot off, it was going to go in.”

Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes scored 14 points apiece for the Tar Heels, who led by as many as nine in the first half and held a six-point lead in the second before Kentucky rallied.

The Wildcats haven’t lost at Rupp Arena since coach John Calipari took over, a span of 38 games after also winning their final one at home under Billy Gillispie.

Lamb converted a threepoint play as part of a 7-0 run that gave Kentucky a 63-60 lead. After Zeller hit a jumper to cut it to one, Lamb hit a pair of 3s, the second that gave the Wildcats a 69-64 lead with 3:47 left.

The game wasn’t over at that point, though.

That came nine plays into Goddard’s ensuing drive.

The Rockets moved the sticks twice to reach the Aztec 41 and then got it to the 35 thanks to a R yan Greene to David Sweet pass on second down.

David Anaya was cut down for a one-yard loss on the third-down play, forcing a fourth-and-5 with 58 seconds remaining.

Jer nigan called for a run-pass option play to the left and Greene opted to throw it to Cody French.

Aztec’s Bryce Grady was there to break it up and the Aztec celebration began.

“I was looking at all my

receivers and I thought I saw Cody hitting a seam,” Greene said about the play. “I tried to get the ball out, but I didn’t have my feet set, I didn’t throw the ball well and it was incomplete.

“I had no emotion (after the ball hit the ground). I just was kind of in shock.”

“At first, time stood still,” Anaya said about the moment he saw the ball hit the ground. “The only thing that went through my mind was ‘one point.’”

Aztec kneeled on the ball three times after taking over to salt away the clock.

Stadium on Saturday.

The play that gave the Bulldogs the momentum came on the Navarro kickoff following a 28-yard field goal by T revor Pinkston that cut the Bronco lead to 24-13 with 6:44 left in the second quarter.

Pinkston kicked off after his field goal and it was a high, short kick that the Broncos couldn’t field.

NMMI’s J.R. Watters ran up to try to catch the kick, but when the ball hit the ground, it caromed off the leg of Watters and was recovered by the Bulldogs.

Navarro took advantage

of the NMMI miscue and, four plays later, the Bulldogs’ Gerard Shillow scored to cut the lead to 24-19 after a failed extra point.

NMMI coach Josh L ynn said that the muffed kickoff was probably the play of the game.

an undefeated season.

“This one hurts a lot more than last year,” Anaya said. “Last year, I knew I had another chance. This was our chance and we blew it.”

Greene echoed that.

“It’s pretty bad. It’s definitely worse than last year for me.”

David Strickland, with tears in his eyes, said the loss hurt, but that this is a season he’ll remember.

“We’re not used to losing.

We have a long tradition of winning,” he said. “It hurts to not keep true to our tradition. But, we had 12

good ones that felt good.

It’s a good season to go down in our memories.”

Goddard, for most of the second and third quarters, appeared headed for a 13th good one.

Members of the Goddard Rocket football team walk toward midfield to receive the NMAA Class 4A state runner-up trophy.

After a scoreless first quarter, Aztec cracked the board first on a Lucero to Grady 34-yard hookup that made it 6-0. Dylan Stinson missed the PAT, though, which would force the Tigers to play catchup for the rest of the game.

Goddard took the lead two plays into its next drive when Anaya rumbled 56 yards for a score.

Kelsey Cunningham added the PAT to make it 7-6.

Aztec went back on top 12-7 less than three minutes later on a Grady 1yard run, but the T igers failed on a two-point try.

The Rockets went 63 yards in nine plays on the next drive, with Anaya rushing for 51 of those yards. Greene scored on a 3-yard run with 2:48 left and Cunningham again tacked on the PAT to make it 14-12.

Goddard (12-1) made it 21-12 on its first drive of the second half with an Anaya 10-yard run.

Aztec scored on its next drive with a 3-yard run by Lucero. The T igers converted the two-point try this time, which drew them to within one at 2120.

Anaya scored for the third time about 2 1/2 minutes later on a 2-yard run to put Goddard up 2720 before Aztec’s gamewinning drive.

Anaya finished 218 yards and three TDs on 30 carries. He passed Fort Sumner’s Lance Fikany to become the state’s second all-time leading rusher on a 5-yard run on Goddard’s final drive of the game.

In his 2 1/2 years as the starting tailback, Anaya rushed for 5,638 yards and 70 touchdowns.

Greene was 4 for 11 for 56 yards through the air and rushed for 59 yards and a score on 14 attempts.

For the T igers, who became the first team north of Roswell to win the 4A title since the NMAA went to a five-class alignment in 2000, Lucero was 19 for 27 for 198 yards and a TD and Perry ran for 108 yards and a TD on 16 carries. kjkeller@rdrnews.com

against the team that beat them in the state championship game last season with a 15-point win over the Española Valley Sundevils at the Taos Invitational, Saturday.

“I don’t know what the kids were thinking, but, for the coaches, it was just another game,” said Rocket coach Kevin Jones about how it felt to beat the Sundevils. “I don’t know if I’d call it payback; we just wanted to win.”

Goddard got that win because they were aggressive and intense, according to Jones.

“We played well. We played intense, we were aggressive and we attacked the whole game,” he said.

“We really played well.”

Chase Salazar picked up tournament MVP honors after scoring 25 points in the championship game to lead the Rockets (3-0). Lane Vander Hulst, who was named to the all-tourna-

ment team with Salazard, chipped in 10 points.

Goddard jumped out to a 17-11 lead through one and outscored the Sundevils in all four quarters en route to the win.

Hagerman 66, Grady 37 DORA — Hager man improved to 2-2 with a victory over Grady at the Dora Invitational on Saturday.

“They got up and down the court and pushed the ball and I was proud of that.”

Jessie Rodriguez led the Bobcats with 20 points.

Jose Bejarano (12) and Anthony Olivas (11) also scored in double figures for Hagerman.

‘Honey Badger’ leads LSU past Georgia B4 Sunday, December 4, 2011

SPORTS

ATLANTA (AP) — LSU slogged its way through a brutal first half.

The nation’s top-ranked team had only 12 yards and not even a single first down.

The “Honey Badger” didn’t care.

He just took what he wanted — a trip to the national championship game.

Tyrann Mathieu turned in an MVP per formance when the Tigers needed him most, running back a punt 62 yards for a touchdown, setting up another score with a fumble recovery and finally finishing off No. 12 Georgia with his best play yet, a whirling dervish of a return that led to the decisive TD of a 42-10 victory in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.

LSU (13-0) advanced to a spot in the BCS title game in New Orleans, just 75 miles from its Baton Rouge campus. The Tigers opponent will be announced Sunday night, but SEC West rival and No. 2 Alabama — already beaten by the Tigers 9-6 in overtime a month ago — had the inside track even though it didn’t win its division.

The Bulldogs tried to really shake things up, racing to a 10-0 lead that could’ve been even bigger if they hadn’t dropped a pair of potential touchdown passes in the first quarter. LSU looked downright awful on offense, going three-and-out on all seven of its possessions before halftime.

But, thanks to Mathieu, the deficit was only 10-7 when the teams went to the locker room. He took a punt at his own 38, found an opening and was gone — all the way to the end zone for his second punt return for a touchdown in as many weeks. Well, almost to the end zone. A replay showed Mathieu flipped the ball to an official just before he crossed the goal line, but no one on the field caught the blunder.

“Yeah, I kind of felt it,” Mathieu said. “I looked at the referee. I’ll have to remember not to do that next time.”

That was long forgotten by the time the fearless sophomore was done.

“I just tried to make one guy miss and then get to the end zone,” Mathieu said.

On Georgia’s first possession of the second half, quarterback Aaron Murray tried to scramble for a first down but had the ball knocked loose just before he hit the turf. Who was there to fall on it at the Bulldogs 26?

Mathieu, of course, his fifth fumble recovery of the season.

LSU quickly seized its first lead.

The Tigers finally picked up a first down, then freshman Kenny Hilliard broke off a 15-yard run for the first of his three touchdowns. Normally, that would’ve

been more than enough to win the game’s MVP award. Not even close on this day.

Mathieu, whose nickname comes from a humorous YouTube video about supposedly the world’s more fearless animal (”Honey Badger don’t care, he just takes what he wants,” the narrator says), dropped back to receive another punt. About the only thing the Bulldogs managed to do was keep him out of the end zone.

The 5-foot-9, 175-pounder cradled the ball, took off down the center of the field, cut back to his left, stutter-stepped and turned on a burst of speed, basically came to a stop around the Georgia 30, then took off again and was finally dragged down at the 17.

He avoided or broke away from at least eight of the 11 red-clad guys trying to bring him down, a Heisman-worthy play that should be enough to at least get him to New York for the banquet — if not earn him serious consideration for the award as the nation’s top player. Certainly, no defensive player has come up with more big plays.

“When you play as hard as he does, good things happen to you,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said.

“To be honest with you, I enjoy

watching him play football except when he plays against us. When you see a guy like that, you appreciate the way he plays.

There’s just something about him.

He finds a way to do something special just about every game. He did it again today.”

Mathieu has scored four touchdowns this season: Two on returns, two more from his cornerback spot. He’s forced six fumbles. He’s picked off two passes.

He’s one of the top tacklers on one of the nation’s top defenses.

LSU took control with a 21point third quarter, coming back from a double-digit deficit for the second week in a row and leaving little doubt that it’s the best team in country heading into bowl season. The only other unbeaten team, Houston, was blown out in the Conference USA championship game Saturday. All the other top teams have at least one loss.

If there was ever a year when no playoff was needed, it’s this one. The Tigers have knocked off five teams in The Associated Press’ current Top 25 — including three of the top eight. They’ll still have to win one more game to claim the BCS title, but a case can be made that they deserve to be voted No. 1 in the AP poll, no

matter what happens Jan. 9 in the Big Easy.

SEC East champion Georgia came into the game on a 10-game winning streak, and the Bulldogs showed no fear of LSU in the early going. Murray connected with Tavarres King on a 44-yard pass and could’ve had a TD when a pass across the middle went through King’s hands. They settled for Blair Walsh’s 40-yard field goal.

Knowing he would have to throw caution to the wind to pull off the upset against a 13 1/2point favorite, Richt called an onside kick. It worked the perfection, Walsh bouncing the ball off the turf and high into the air. Alec Ogletree soared in to grab the ball beyond the necessary 10 yards, giving the Bulldogs another possession.

They should’ve scored a touchdown. Instead, they wound up with nothing. Freshman Malcolm Mitchell dropped a pass right in his hands at the LSU 5 with no one around, and Walsh missed a 45-yard try.

But LSU couldn’t do anything with the ball. The Tigers’ longest play in the first half was 9 yards.

Eleven of their 21 plays went for zero or negative yards. Outside of Mathieu, punter Brad Wing was

LSU’s best field-turning weapon, averaging 54.1 yards on his first seven punts.

Both offenses stalled in the second quarter, managing a grand total of 2 yards — 1 for each team. Georgia went to the locker room with a commanding 135-12 lead in total yards, but certainly with a sense it had missed its chance to put away an LSU team that had outscored No. 6 Arkansas 41-3 after falling into an early 14-0 hole the previous week.

Hilliard scored on a 4-yard run after Mathieu’s second big return to make it 21-10, essentially enough to finish off the Bulldogs, but he then hauled in a 8-yard touchdown pass.

The Tigers romped in the final period. Alfred Blue broke off a 48yard touchdown run and Morris Claiborne returned an interception 45 yards for the final score.

LSU won even though Jordan Jefferson completed only five passes and the offense totaled a mere 237 yards.

Murray had a miserable day, completing just 16 of 40 for 163 yards with two interceptions.

Georgia’s running game was nonexistent with Isaiah Crowell hobbling on a sore ankle. The freshman had only 15 yards on 10 carries.

Boise State drops New Mexico in finale Southern Miss ruins No. 7 Houston’s BCS hopes BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Let the Bob Davie era begin at New Mexico.

That’s about the only positive way for the Lobos to think in the aftermath of Saturday’s 45-0 blowout loss to No. 9 Boise State.

The loss gives the Lobos (1-11, 1-6) a third straight season with only one win and extends their road losing streak to 22 games, the nation’s longest such skid.

The offense was held to just 197 yards and only crossed midfield twice, while the defense had no answers for Kellen Moore and the rest of the Boise State’s high-scoring offense.

Despite the lopsided statistics and score, interim coach George Barlow found reason for hope in 2012, when Davie, the former Notre Dame coach and television analyst, takes over.

“The thing you like about these kids is when things were going as bad as they were, they were still playing hard,” said Barlow, who posted a 1-6 record after taking over in September for Mike Locksley.

From the start, it was clear the Lobos were over matched and outclassed.

Kellen Moore threw three touchdowns in the final home game of his

brilliant career, and senior Doug Martin ran for two more as the Broncos rolled up 543 total yards on offense.

Boise State (11-1, 6-1) scored on its first five possessions and built a 31-0 halftime lead, clearing the way for Moore and the other members of Boise State’s remarkable senior class to exit the field one last time midway through the third quarter with a 38-0 lead.

The victory secured second place in the Mountain West Confer-

ence for Boise State and its second straight season with just one loss.

Moore, the winningest starting quarterback in college football history, also set new single-season school records for touchdowns (41) and completions (300), and the win gave him 49 in his career.

But Moore wasn’t the only player on the field to rewrite record books.

New Mexico linebacker Car men Messina set a new Mountain West Conference record for tackles

Saturday. On his first tackle in the first quarter, Messina eclipsed the mark of 434 tackles held

by Adam Seward from UNLV. Messina finished with 21 tackles in the game and wrapped his career with 455 tackles.

B.R. Holbrook was 16 of 28 for 145 yards and was sacked twice for New Mexico. The Lobos mustered only 52 yards rushing, eight first downs and were 3-of-15 on third down. Deon Long led the Lobos with eight catches for 96 yards.

HOUSTON (AP) — Souther n Mississippi coach Larry Fedora would not take the blame for costing Conference USA its first-ever spot in the Bowl Championship Series and the millions of dollars that come with it by upsetting Houston in the league title game.

In fact, Fedora says he knows exactly which team should take the spot in the BCS that would have gone to the Cougars if they had stayed unbeaten.

“We didn’t cost this conference any money, because we ought to be in a BCS bowl,” Fedora said after the 24th-ranked Golden Eagles beat No. 7 Houston 49-28 Saturday.

“If Houston’s not going, we ought to be going and then everybody would get their money like they want.”

Austin Davis threw four touchdown passes and No. 24 Southern Mississippi ruined Houston’s perfect season and BCS hopes with the win.

It was star quarterback Case Keenum’s last home game for Houston for sure, and could’ve also been the finale for coach Kevin Sumlin, who has been mentioned as a top candidate for virtually every higher-profile job opening.

The victory should fuel more rumors about Fedora who, like Sumlin, is anoth-

er hot name linked to various jobs. Fedora, completing his fourth season with the Golden Eagles, is a former offensive coordinator at Florida (2002-04) and Oklahoma State (2005-07) and is from College Station, Texas, where Texas A&M is located.

Fedora wouldn’t say if he’s interested in or has been contacted by the Aggies or any other school.

“All I’ve been focusing on is winning a game today,” Fedora said. “As a team we talked about not paying attention to any of the things that were going on outside of our football team. Anything that didn’t have anything to do with us winning was not worth thinking about.”

Houston (12-1) was poised to impress a national-television audience and representatives from the Orange and Sugar Bowl, who attended Saturday’s game. Keenum could’ve also made one last case for an invitation to next week’s Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Instead, the Golden Eagles (11-2) turned it into their showcase, shackling Houston’s high-powered offense and striking with several big plays of their own to win their first CUSA title game and reach 11 victories for the first time.

NFL Today: Time for Bengals to prove their worth Roswell Daily Record

Now is the time for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Forget that one-game-at-a-time mumbo jumbo. Beating the Steelers on Sunday in Pittsburgh isn’t just about this weekend. It’s about making a statement in a tough division and elevating yourself to the level of the elite: Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

The Bengals are 7-4, but only one victory (Tennessee) came against an opponent that currently has a winning record. Their showdowns with the Steelers and Ravens earlier this year wound up as close losses.

Unless they change that pattern, the Bengals can’t be taken seriously as a contender.

“We’re excited,” tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “I mean, most people outside of this building, if you’d have told them we’d have a chance the last five games of the season to dictate our destiny, I think people would have laughed at us. But we’re there.”

In front of Cincinnati on the schedule are Houston, down to a third-string quarterback, St. Louis and Arizona before a finale against Baltimore. Not the most imposing test.

But beating the Steelers (8-3) is the primary objective. Pittsburgh has won eight of the last 10 meetings.

“I think every week’s a little different message,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “This is a big football game for us, no doubt about it. If we want to have an opportunity to win the AFC North, this is an important game for us.”

The Steelers struggled last Sunday night in Kansas City, but Ben Roethlisberger, injured thumb and all, loves the sight of the Bengals. He is 11-4 against them, with six wins in the last seven games, when he had 14 TD passes.

The other AFC North teams face off in Cleveland, where the Browns host division leader Baltimore.

Elsewhere Sunday, it’s undefeated Green Bay at the New York Giants, winless Indianapolis at home against New England, St. Louis at San Francisco, Detroit at New Orleans, Atlanta at Houston, Tennessee at Buffalo, Dallas at Arizona, Denver at Minnesota, Oakland at Miami, Kansas City at Chicago, the New York Jets at Washington, and Carolina at Tampa Bay. San Diego is at Jacksonville on Monday night.

On Thursday night, Seattle beat Philadelphia 31-14.

Baltimore (8-3) at Cleveland (4-7) If the Ravens play down to the level of the opposition, as they have in losses to Jacksonville and Seattle, this could be troublesome. Baltimore’s defense was fearsome and dominant on Thanksgiving night in manhandling San Francisco, and the Browns, who have yielded 27 sacks, are ripe to be ruined by Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata and perhaps a returning Ray Lewis, who missed the last two games with a right toe injury.

“Even though I wasn’t physically out there the last two games, I was with my teammates the whole time, cheering them on and

The 7-4 Bengals square off with AFC North foe Pittsburgh today. in their ears every time I saw something that might help,” Lewis said. “I’m doing everything I can to get back and help this team get where we want to go.”

Green Bay (11-0) at N.Y. Giants (6-5) New York was routed by New Orleans on Monday night, its third straight defeat; the Giants tend to fade in the second half of seasons under Tom Coughlin.

Now, they face a similar passing attack led by Aaron Rodgers, who is on all kinds of record passing paces, and the ball-hawking Packers.

Green Bay has never been 110, and has won 17 in a row counting its run to the Super Bowl last season. Getting to 18 would clinch a playoff spot and tie for the second-longest winning string in NFL history. This might be one of the tougher steps toward an undefeated regular season, but only if the Giants step up.

“We are just as interested in taking our best shot as anybody that gets the chance to play against a very good football team that was the world champion a year ago,” Coughlin said. “We realize that the margin is thin and we are going to have to play very well in order to accomplish this, but we think we can.”

Indianapolis (0-11) at New England (8-3) Shield your eyes.

Wisely, the league moved this mismatch from prime time into an earlier slot. If the Colts get their first victory of 2011, it will rank with the biggest regular season upsets in NFL annals.

Indeed, the Patriots are about a 20-point favorite.

Bill Belichick is only 11-8 vs.

Indy and is not one to call off the dogs even when a game turns into a rout. Yes, the Patriots have an iffy defense, particularly the secondary, but that isn’t likely to

matter against the Peyton-less Colts.

St. Louis (2-9) at San Francisco (9-2) A win and the 49ers are in.

Considering the huge lead (five games) they have in the NFC West and the remaining schedule — three more divisional games after this — the main urgency might be to keep ahead of New Orleans for a first-round playoff bye.

The Niners acquitted themselves well on defense on Thanksgiving night in Baltimore, but must protect QB Alex Smith better.

Detroit (7-4) at New Orleans (8-3) The league and NBC moved this to prime time before Lions DT Ndamukong Suh was given a two-game suspension that he appealed. It could be an entertaining of fensive explosion, although expecting Matthew Stafford and company to match points and big plays with Drew Brees and his legion of receivers is a tough challenge.

After starting 5-0, the Lions are struggling to remain viable in the playoff chase. New Orleans has won four of five and really has the offense cranking.

Brees needs 311 yards to become the first QB to throw for 4,000 yards in the first 12 games.

Atlanta (7-4) at Houston (8-3) Matt Ryan comes off his best game of the season in a win over Minnesota, but he takes on a far superior defense now. Houston will need a big pass rush and a strong running game this month to hold onto first place in the AFC South with T.J. Yates, Kellen Clemens, Jake Delhomme, Warren Moon or whomever behind center.

Atlanta has the easiest road to the postseason, with remaining games against Carolina, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, and the only real test after the Texans a visit to New Orleans on Christmas weekend. The Falcons’ second-ranked rushing defense will get plenty of looks at Arian Foster and Ben Tate toting the ball.

Tennessee (6-5) at Buffalo (5-6) Tennessee, which has won five of the last six against Buffalo, is in a strange spot. It trails Houston by two games and already has lost to the Texans, but with Houston’s quarterbacking uncertainty, the Titans might be in the better position down the stretch.

That’s especially possible if Chris Johnson’s 190 yards rushing against Tampa Bay is an indication of what he will provide the rest of the season.

Don’t look for any outrageous celebrations from Stevie Johnson this week after he got nailed for a $10,000 fine for mimicking Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the thigh. As damaging as that was for reeling Buffalo, Johnson’s dropped passes were worse.

Denver’s Tim Tebow is tackled during the Broncos’ win over the Chargers last week. Tebow and the Broncos face Minnesota today. a four-game winning streak and showing balance on of fense, stinginess on defense, Dallas might be an NFC darkhorse.

“It’s just about getting better as the season goes along, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” safety Gerald Sensabaugh said. “We missed out on some opportunities early on in the season. We had some games we should’ve won but kind of let them go. But the last couple of weeks, we’ve had two victories where we had to come from behind.”

Denver (6-5) at Minnesota (2-9) Denver has won four in a row and five of six since Tim Tebow was elevated to starting quarterback. Sure, it isn’t pretty, but it’s effective, and the Broncos will take five more games (and wins) like it.

Minnesota needs to show some spark or Leslie Frazier, in his first year as coach, could be in trouble.

Oakland (7-4) at Miami (3-8) One of the AFC’s grand crosscountry rivalries, and with Miami improving recently, the AFC West leaders will be challenged. The Raiders also figure to be without RB Darren McFadden again, not that it has mattered too much with the way Michael Bush has filled in.

The Dolphins had won three straight before falling at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day in a game they easily could have won.

San Diego (4-7) at Jacksonville (3-8) The coaching change already has come in Jacksonville, with Mel Tucker taking over for the fired Jack Del Rio. Plus, Wayne Weaver has found a buyer for the team.

The Spanos family probably won’t be selling the Chargers. As

for a coaching change, well, Norv Turner’s Bolts have dropped six straight.

Kansas City (4-7) at Chicago (7-4) Two more teams with woes behind center as their starters — Matt Cassel in KC, Jay Cutler in Chicago — are sidelined with injuries. At least the Bears can rely on superb special teams and a dynamic defense, particularly at home, to carry them in these kind of matchups.

Chiefs coach Todd Haley insists Tyler Palko is his starting QB. Unless he starts off well against the Bears, look for Kyle Orton to come in early. The Chiefs aren’t paying the guy $2.6 million over the last six games to back up Palko.

N.Y. Jets (6-5) at Washington (4-7) Washington has won the last four in this infrequent series, and the way the Jets are playing, it could easily go to five. New York was fortunate to beat Buffalo a week ago, getting four TD passes from Mark Sanchez even though he played poorly for much of the game.

For the Redskins to pull the upset, they must take advantage of the Jets’ spotty pass rush and force Sanchez to deal with Washington’s playmakers on defense: LB Brian Orakpo and CB DeAngelo Hall.

Carolina (3-8) at Tampa Bay (4-7) With the Bucs losing five straight and six of seven, and the Panthers dropping six of eight — with wins over weaklings Washington and Indianapolis — this hardly is a showcase. Carolina, of course, is in rebuilding mode, while Tampa’s slide from 10 wins last year to this season’s disappointment has set its reclamation project back.

Green chile lovers fired up over genetic research

Steve Hanson, a scientist at NMSU, said the goal of the work being done in New Mexico is to increase the sustainability of chile and make the growing process more efficient.

“It’s one of these things that seems mysterious and supernatural, but the entire process is modeled after a natural event and it’s not really even specific to plants,” he said, explaining that viruses can infect the human body and insert their own DNA into human cells. Genetic engineering in plants is based on that same horizontal exchange of genes.

So does the journey of a chile pepper from seed to salsa really matter to those who have become addicted to the flavor?

Occupy Green/Red Chile organizers think so.

They have been gathering petition signatures and spreading their message on social media sites. On Saturday, they planned to brave the winter weather for marches in Albuquerque, Taos, Santa Fe and Socorro.

“It’s about giving us a choice about what we put in our bodies. It’s about getting New Mexicans out into the streets,” said Cynthia McDermand, one of the organizers. “We take pride in our chile.”

grow the crop due to the mounting labor challenges and foreign competition.

“We’re chipping away at the problems, and this is just one alternative,” she said of the genetic research.

Building the perfect pepper plant — one capable of withstanding root-rotting and leaf-wilting diseases, one with more flavor compounds, one that is taller with easily harvested fruit — has been the focus of researchers at New Mexico State University for decades.

Most of the work has been done using traditional plant breeding techniques, but some of the problems have been unsolvable through classic methods, said Paul Bosland, head of the university’s Chile Pepper Institute.

While critics argue that genetically modified foods are unnatural, experts say the world would not have the varieties of chile, wheat, potatoes, corn, rice and other vegetables that it has today if it weren’t for the genetic modification that comes naturally from breeding plants with one another.

“It’s been 10,000 years for some crops. They don’t even remotely resemble their wild species anymore,” said Pam Ronald, a plant pathologist from the University of California,

to $229 million to install the selective catalytic reduction technology it is requiring.

The utility expected to spend $21 million in 2012 to comply with the EPA order, according to The Farmington Daily Times. It filed for a stay of the EPA decision with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Nov. 25.

“What we are asking is for the court to place EPA’s new visibility decision for the plant on hold while it decides whether that decision is consistent (with)

federal law and EPA’s own rules,” Pat VincentCollawn, president and CEO of PNM Resources, said in a statement.

PNM runs the plant as the largest of its nine owners. The utility is pushing a plan backed by New Mexico regulators that would allow it to install less expensive noncatalytic pollution reduction technology, which it said would cost only $77 million. The utility company has established a website, SupportTheNMPlan.com, to encourage public support.

“PNM is prepared to implement the state plan right away, knowing that it will meet the visibility requirements of Clean Air Act and do so at a reasonable cost,” said Pat Themig, the company’s vice president of generation.

The EPA has rejected the state proposal as inadequate for reducing hazelinked emissions, an argument supported by environmental groups.

Mike Eisenfeld, New Mexico energy coordinator for the environmental group San Juan Citizens Alliance,

said PNM must come into compliance with federal laws.

“If they’re going to have any chance of continuing this 40-year -old facility, they’re going to have to address the shortcomings,” he told the Daily Times.

Eisenfeld said environmental regulations, including an EPA mercury standard expected later this month, will make it more difficult to rely on coal.

“There’s a lot of things starting to paint the picture that continued reliance on coal is problematic and

costly, and it poses a huge toll on the communities that are in proximity to the environmental impacts,” he said.

San Juan Generating Station was built beginning in 1973 and remains a major employer and source of electricity for the Southwest. It produces 1,800 megawatts of electricity and employs about 400 workers.

The adjacent San Juan Mine, which feeds the plant, employs another 500. A majority of workers at both sites are Navajo.

AP Photo ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Mention New Mexican cuisine and mouths start watering. Giant breakfast burritos, plates of enchiladas, tacos and even cheeseburgers — all laced with green chile or drenched in red.

New Mexico’s chile peppers have woven their way into the state’s cultural identity, and their distinct flavor has been adopted by palates as far away as Korea.

But some are worried about the future of New Mexico’s signature crop.

Labor costs, relentless plant diseases and competition from cheap imports have combined to put the chile industry in a steep decline.

Scientists at New Mexico State University are helping through a series of

Davis, who is known for her work with rice.

Ronald and others say the difference with genetic engineering is it’s modern and more precise, and genes from unrelated species can be added to a plant’s genome.

“It’s a fine line philosophically what people will accept, and there are reasons of course for not wanting a particular type of crop,” she said. “But if you think about the great issues of our time — sustainability, can we grow more food using less land and less water as resources diminish, can we reduce insecticides — if genetic engineering can enhance the sustainability, then why not use it?”

The situation with chile in New Mexico is not unlike what happened to Hawaii’s papaya in the 1990s. There, it took a publicly funded research effort to develop a papaya that was resistant to a disease that was wiping out orchard after orchard.

The ef fort was a success, and today Hawaii continues to provide most of California’s papayas.

In Arizona, genetically engineered cotton has resulted in less insecticide use, and corn growers in the Midwest have realized billions of dollars in economic benefits from engineered corn seed, Ronald said.

is participating in the movement.

The group is concerned that if scientists develop a genetically engineered pepper to boost the industry, small growers could face patent lawsuits if their crops become crosscontaminated by the new seeds. They’re also worried about a lack of labeling of genetically modified foods and the potential for New Mexico’s traditional varieties to be forever altered.

“To secure the long-term protection of the farmers and the protection of consumers in terms of culture, there is no room for a genetically engineered seed,” Farrell said.

This is where some farmers, chile processors and researchers disagree.

Over the past 20 years, New Mexico has seen a 75 percent decline in the number of acres of chile grown. Production per acre has increased by more than 2 tons over the past five years due to breeding and improved growing practices, but the industry is a long way from returning to the glory days when tens of thousands of acres were grown.

Jaye Hawkins, executive director of the New Mexico Chile Association, said the state will be in danger of losing its chile not because of genetic engineering but rather because far mers will simply not be able to

efforts aimed at unlocking the genetic mysteries of red and green chile, but that has some pepper purists fired up.

The thought of genetically engineering chile has galvanized a group of seed conservationists and others who are sympathetic to the national protests targeting corporate greed and inequality. economic Unlike the Occupy Wall Street movement, however, Occupy Green/Red Chile is on a simple, focused mission — to protect New Mexico’s chile seeds.

“Students, teachers, far mers, consumers, mothers and fathers, everyone cares about this because in New Mexico chile isn’t just a food, it’s your culture,” said Jessica Farrell, a University of New Mexico student who

Singer McCready’s 5-year-old son in custody Roswell Daily Record

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Authorities said late Friday they had located country singer Mindy McCready’s 5-year -old son in Arkansas and taken him into custody.

Florida Department of Children and Families spokeswoman Terri Durdaller said in an email Friday night that her agency was working with Arkansas state officials to bring the boy back to his legal guardian in Florida, his maternal grandmother. Officials say he’s safe and in good health.

Gayle Inge, Zander’s grandmother and McCready’s mother, was tear ful when she talked about the news by phone Friday night with The Associated Press.

“I’m real excited that he’s safe,” she said. “But I can’t explain what this is like. We feel for Mindy and we feel for Zander.”

Inge said Zander was taken into custody at McCready’s boyfriend’s lake home in Arkansas. Inge said that her son — McCready’s half brother — texted McCready, who responded with a text that said her mother would never see her again.

“I want to wrap my ar ms around her and tell her that I love her,” Inge said, adding that her daughter and grandson were found by authorities “hiding in a closet.”

McCready, who turned 36 on Wednesday, did not respond to emails late Friday.

The evening’s developments capped a days-long saga between McCready — who is seven months pregnant with twins — and her family.

A Florida judge signed an order Thursday telling authorities to take the boy into custody and retur n him. It’s not yet clear whether the singer could face criminal charges.

McCready said earlier in the week that she would not bring her son back from Tennessee, where she has a home, despite violating the custody arrange-

“I’m doing all this to protect Zander, not stay out of trouble,” McCready wrote in an email to the AP on Thursday. “I don’t think I should be in trouble for protecting my son in the first place.”

McCready told the AP Wednesday night she was in Tennessee and couldn’t travel because she is pregnant with twins.

“We can confirm that Zander has been taken into custody and we are working with Arkansas state officials to bring him back to his legal guardian in Florida,” Durdaller wrote late Friday. “He is safe and in good health.

McCready had provided a series of emails to the AP with Lee County Judge James Seals’ ruling to return the boy.

“Mom has violated the court’s custody order and we are simply restoring the child back into our custody,” the judge wrote. “Nothing more. Nothing less. The court makes no judgment about whether Mom will or will not competently care for the child while in her custody. It only wants the child back where the court placed him.”

McCready found fame in the mid-1990s and has lived a complicated life in recent years.

McCready fought the release of a tape in which she reportedly talked about former Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens, with whom she had an affair as a teenager.

In August, she filed a libel suit against her mother and the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., over a story published in the tabloid newspaper that quoted Inge.

And in 2008, McCready was admitted to a hospital after police said she cut her wrists and took several pills in a suicide attempt.

During the TV show “Celebrity Rehab 3” in 2010, McCready came off as a sympathetic figure, and host Dr. Drew Pinsky called her an angel in the season finale.

‘Bonnie & Clyde’ has murderous leads, killer songs NEW YORK (AP) — Bonnie and Clyde became famous when they teamed up, so it’s somewhat appropriate that the new Broadway musical based on their story has brought together two great couples, albeit with less actual bloodshed.

Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan, two of theater’s rising stars, play the bankrobbing duo with sexy onstage chemistry and strong voices. The other couple is behind the scenes: Frank Wildhorn and Don Black, the composer and lyricist, who have written some sumptuous songs.

These dynamic duos enliven “Bonnie & Clyde,” a relatively straightforward biographical musical with some nice creative touches that opened Thursday under the direction of Jeff Calhoun at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

This retelling of the Great Depression-era folk tale about two star-crossed lovers teases out the twin themes of their dangerous lust and their lust for fame.

Bonnie wants to be a movie star and Clyde wants to be Jesse James. That thirst for celebrity resonates today, as does the echo of economic woes, with its drumbeat of foreclosures and bank failures.

Wildhorn was last on Broadway this spring with “Wonderland,” an updated telling of “Alice in Wonderland” that had some good songs but came with a book that was, at best, insipid. This time, his

musical is much better but is ultimately let down by the same problem: a sometimes middling book.

That’s not to say the book writer Ivan Menchell and the creative team haven’t thrown all they can into the story: There are appearances by Bonnie and Clyde’s childhood selves, there’s a subplot with Clyde’s brother, a love triangle with a cop, some eye-candy with both leads in their underwear, an attempt to explain the source of criminality, and energetic projection design

by Aaron Rhyne that

includes old headlines and photos.

Calhoun keeps more than two dozen scenes and miniscenes in constant motion, with actors sometimes setting up in the dark edges of the stage even as their fellow actors are still performing elsewhere. His sly sense of humor is on show when a choir singing God’s praises with their hands in the air transform into customers with their hands in the air.

There are also dramatic shoot outs — marred somewhat by the distinctive sound of kiddie cap

guns — and more vintage cars on stage than a showing of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” There is also what seems like vestiges from an earlier version of the musical, like a huge, expensivelooking tree stump that appears for just a few seconds in Act 2.

The plot is a mostly chronological, taking the couple from their first meeting to their bloody end. Menchell deserves credit for trying to elevate the story by looking at their quest for celebrity, but stumbles when it comes to exposition. “Clyde’s been

shot. He’s in trouble,” one character says after we’ve all clearly seen Clyde shot and in trouble.

There’s also a bit of bloat, but Black’s lyrics fit perfectly in Wildhorn’s songs and even add an edge that sometimes is missing from the book. “No way I’ll see heaven,” Clyde sings in one bluesy song, “so let’s raise a little hell.”

But there can be no grousing when it comes to Osnes and Jordan, who are as gorgeous as some of the first-rate tunes they get to sing, such as the catchy “This World Will Remember

Me,” the fist-pumping “When I Drive” and the poignant “Dyin’ Ain’t So Bad.” Jordan, who was in “Rock of Ages,” is charisma in person, a ball of swaggering arrogance with a sad boy underneath that’s catnip to Bonnie (and many of the women in the audience). Bonnie, we are told, was a ravishing redhead, and Osnes is just that — this “Anything Goes” alumna transforms from a girl in need of attention (her sad “How ’Bout a Dance” is beautiful) to a stone-cold fox cradling a shotgun.

This is a killer combination: They will slay you, literally.

Some of the standouts in the supporting cast include Louis Hobson as the lawman who loves Bonnie. He shares a great duet with Clyde — “You Can Do Better Than Him” — but has a tendency to dramatically punch things such as desks to get the point across that he’s mad.

Melissa van der Schyff as Blanche Barrow has the funny “You’re Goin’ Back to Jail” ensemble song and the achingly pretty duet with Bonnie “You Love Who You Love.”

Tobin Ost’s scenic designs are based around several huge vertical wood barn-looking panels that go up and down to highlight action, and his set has several sloping platforms that he uses to great effect when arraying silhouettes against mournful colors projected on the back wall.

Historical Museum of Southeastern New Mexico MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS BY REY BERRONES

The Historical Museum of southeast New Mexico, 200 N. Lea, has been an icon in the historical district of Roswell and has been the holiday spirit. As of late the museum is gearing up for its holiday reception with the help of the Morning Garden Club.

Lately, however, the 2011 Christmas Home Show was canceled. During the past several months, there had been a wave of volunteers offering their homes to the tour and eventually homes became unavailable. The Historical Museum extends its apologies to those who were looking forward to the tour, but is promising that next year will be a grand event.

“Sadly we have to announce that this year’s Christmas Home Show is cancelled. During the last few months we have found and lost several home volunteers. Each time we found a replacement, circumstances have led to changes in the availability of those homes or businesses. We apologize to our ‘fans of the tour’ and hopefully we will be able to have a Christmas Home Show next year,” said Roger Burnett, administrative and museum director.

While keeping up with the holiday season, the Historical Museum will be hosting a Christmas open house reception, Dec. 4, from 1-4 p.m. Refreshments and door prizes will also be available while touring the immaculate, white house adorned with decorations from the early 1900s. Each room is decorated to resemble what the house would have looked like in its prime. The simplest of details is accented to make one feel as if stepping back in time. The dining

room has an antique chandelier over the dining table with the finest china. The work of the Morning Garden Club is vivid to cover every possible detail in which this historic home comes to life.

The house that is the Historical Museum, is also known as the White House, previously owned by JP White. Construction on the house began in 1910 and completed in 1912. The style of the home is called ‘prairie’ or ‘schooner’ a design developed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1900s. Several of the rooms and driveway were later added in 1916. The third floor and basement were added in 1920. The house has 14 rooms, three baths, attic and basement.

The ceilings are 10 and a half feet high and the house is mostly woodwork of oak and the floors are hardwood. The house now acts as a museum and has archives available to scholars of local history. The antiques in the home also serve and are available for special events like weddings, receptions, meetings and Victorian-era Valentine’s dinners.

Donations keep the museum functioning by donations, the museum’s main forms of donation are the heritage dinner and garage sale that help with the funds of the upkeep of the building.

The museum continues to be a tourist stop for those who are interested in Roswell’s historical past and those dedicated in preserving Roswell’s past have done a good job in doing so. Events like this Christmas reception keep the city interested in its distant past and will continue doing so as time will allow it.

Remind kids that Christmas is about giving, not Santa

Q: Our 7-year-old daughter is asking skeptical questions about Santa Claus. We have encouraged her belief in “old St. Nick” up to this point. How do we break the news to her now without coming across as total liars?

Jim: Most kids aren’t as traumatized by the revelation that Santa isn’t real as their parents assume they’ll be. My wife and I made sure we “broke the news” to our boys ourselves. That way, they wouldn’t hear it from their peers, which may have been more distressing to them and more likely to cast Mom and Dad in a bad light. Our counseling team at Focus on the Family has addressed this question, too, and recommends using language like this: “When you were little you liked to play make-believe. I remember when you pretended to be a princess for months after watching

‘Cinderella.’ In the same way, it was fun for you to believe that Santa Claus is a real person when you were younger. But now you’re growing up, and your understanding of the world is changing.”

When you have the discussion, touch on the fact that families all over the world have stories about Santa, whether he takes the form of Sinterklaas in Holland or Father Christmas in England. You might also want to do some research online about St. Nicholas of Myra, the 4th century Christian bishop upon whom most histori-

ans agree our moder n Santa is based. Apocryphal stories about St. Nicholas abound, but everyone agrees with the general idea that he was a pious individual who gave generously to the poor.

The celebration of Christmas is ultimately centered on the birth of the Messiah.

Because St. Nicholas and Jesus are both “invisible” historical figures, be sure to make a distinction between them with your daughter. Christ’s birth set the stage for His life on Earth, and His eventual death and resurrection to save sinners. Even if your

family doesn’t embrace this view, it’s certainly worth talking with your daughter about the themes of selfsacrifice and selflessness that it embodies. Helping your daughter find joy in blessing others at Christmas will likely evaporate any disappointment she may feel at the realization that Santa isn’t real.

Q: I am 32 years old and have two small children.

Over the past year or so, I’ve had random thoughts, dreams and memories of sexual abuse in my childhood. I try to ignore these thoughts, but they won’t go away. It has started to interfere with intimacy in my marriage. Is it possible to be remembering something that happened so long ago?

Juli: I am so sorry for the disturbing thoughts and memories you are having.

Yes, it is possible to be remembering things that happened long ago. In fact,

Roswell Daily Record

in many cases, memories of childhood abuse can surface in adulthood, once you have had children of your own.

There is a lot of controversy in the psychological world about the accuracy of repressed memories. However, most professionals agree with the fact that highly traumatic events are stored in our memories differently than normal childhood interactions. I believe that God has given our minds the ability to temporarily block traumatic experiences that are too painful to process. As you grow and mature, you develop the capacity to process and understand things that you couldn’t as a child.

Addressing traumatic memories of childhood abuse is certainly a painful and dif ficult process. It may be disruptive to family relationships and is likely to create stress and chaos

while you are in the midst of healing. It will be very helpful for you to work with a counselor who is trained in sexual abuse recovery.

In addition, you will need a strong support network to encourage you through the process. At Focus on the Family, we would love to help you find a counselor through our national referral network or to point you to excellent resources to encourage you on your journey to healing.

Getting a room’s color combination right can be difficult unless you use a little bit of math. Almost all interior designers follow this easy rule with every room they design — it is the 60-30-10 Rule. It breaks down like this: 60 percent dominant color, 30 percent secondary color and 10 percent accent color. This helps from not using too many colors where it can look too busy or too few in one room where it can look too boring. Starting with a three-

Anniversary announcements may be accompanied by two photographs. The deadline for submission of anniversary, engagement or wedding announcements is at n o o n t h e We d n e s d a y before the desired Sunday of publication.

color combination is a good starting point on whatever room you are doing.

The 60 percent is the color of the paint on the main walls; this is the largest amount of color in the space so choose carefully. The 30 percent is mainly the carpet/tile, furniture and such. This is usually the most neutral of the three colors. The 10 percent is the accessories, like pillows, window treatments and lamps. Being able to apply this to any room in your home can help you utilize the use of colors in the best way possible.

The best example of this rule is a man’s business suit: 60 percent is the slacks and jacket; 30 percent is the shirt and 10 percent is the tie. After understanding this rule, decorating with colors can be a lot easier when applying this to simple math.

Holiday photo cards: What do they say about you?

NEW YORK (AP) — The Santa hats, beach background or dressed-up dog in the holiday card photo might be saying more than “Merry Christmas” or “Happy New Year.”

Yes, it’s a big message to come in a 5-by-7 envelope, but you already knew a picture could be worth a thousand words. Now consider that this card might be the only piece of snail mail you send to your loved ones all year.

While E-mail and social media makes it easy to stay in frequent communication with far-flung friends and relatives, those tweets, texts and updates can be deleted or forgotten as quickly as they arrive.

A holiday card, in contrast, “is really a chance to make a statement,” says Kemper Johnson, visual director of MyPublisher.com, an online custom publishing site.

“You’re creating your own greeting card. It has meaning, and most people you’re sending it to will know that it’s your home in the background or the vacation you were on, or it’s an introduction of you and your family to a new friend,” he says.

The right photo will look different for each family, and likely will be a different type each year, says Meg Bohnert, card stylist for Shutterfly, the online photo site. You’ll know it when you see it, she says.

Her advice: “You want a photo that is ‘in a moment.’”

That doesn’t mean perfect, though. Sometimes it’s the frame shot just before or after the posed photo that better captures the real family dynamic.

Next, think about color. That means not only the background and text but also the hues of your clothes or the setting, says TV style adviser Jeannie Mai. “Color is what will jump out of the envelope first.”

White, for example, is a way to “hit the reset button” and convey a change, either in look or lifestyle, she says, while peach or blush tones say “romance — that you’re feeling lovey dovey.”

If you like a strong, polished look, consider browns and grays mixed with black, suggests Mai, who hosts Style Network’s “How Do I Look?”

Other tips: —Black and white: This is either nostalgic or modern, says Johnson. There are practical reasons to use a blackand-white image. If there’s too much clutter in the background, it’ll be tempered, and will neutralize clashing colors.

—Coordinated clothes: “Matching outfits can do a couple of different things,” San Francisco-based photographer Jennifer Chaney observes. “It can say, ‘We’re very traditional,’ it can say, ‘We have a sense of humor’, but it also can convey that you don’t have a lot of creativity.”

She suggests everyone wear something in the same color family or have one matching accent piece. “You’ll look like you belong to the same family but that you have your own style.”

—Gallery: Using multiple photos can bring a family together, even if it’s hard to get them together in one room.

—Pets: As much as he’d like photo cards to show every member of the family right down to the goldfish, Johnson warns that pets can steal the thunder, so mind the pecking order and how that comes out in the picture.

—Outdoor setting: It’s often the easiest shot, has the best light and it’ll probably have the most easy-going feel, Bohnert says. The family will probably come off as less stuffy and more playful.

Don’t feel limited to a pine-tree background. If your best photo was from your summer vacation, share that with your friends. They want to see you when you feel happy and at your best, Bohnert says.

Unemployment rate drops to lowest since 2009 Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — The unemployment rate, which has refused to budge from the 9 percent neighborhood for two and a half frustrating years, suddenly dropped in November, driven in part by small businesses that finally see reason to hope and hire.

Economists said there was a long way to go but liked what they saw.

The rate fell to 8.6 percent, the lowest since March 2009, two months after President Barack Obama took office. Unemployment passed 9 percent that spring and had stayed there or higher for all but two months since then.

The country added 120,000 jobs in November, the Labor Department said Friday. The economy has generated 100,000 or more jobs five months in a row — the first time that has happened since April 2006, well before the Great Recession.

“Something good is stirring in the U.S. economy,” Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency

AP Photo

In this Nov. 3 file photo, Maria Aplington, from United Parcel Service, helps Craig Wooten, of Portland, navigate their website during a hiring event for UPS at WorkSource Oregon, in Portland, Ore. The unemployment rate fell last month to its lowest level in more than two and a half years, as employers stepped up hiring in response to the slowly improving economy.

Economics, said in a note to clients.

It clinched one of the best weeks in stock market history. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 37 points and 825 for the week. The only better week

was in October 2008, when stocks lurched higher and lower during the financial crisis.

The report showed that September and October were stronger months for the job market than first

estimated. For four months in a row, the government has revised job growth figures higher for previous months.

Unemployment peaked at 10.1 percent in October 2009, four months after the Great Recession ended. It dipped to 8.9 percent last February and 8.8 percent last March but otherwise was at or above 9 percent.

Obama, who faces a reelection vote in less than a year and a presidential campaign that will turn on the economy, seized on the decline to argue for expanding a cut in the tax that workers pay toward Social Security.

The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans and will give most households $1,000 to $2,000 this year.

It will expire Dec. 31 unless Congress acts. Republicans and Democrats have supported an extension but differ on how to pay for it.

The Senate on Thursday defeated plans from both parties. Republicans had proposed paying for the cut

Sunday, December 4, 2011

by freezing the pay of federal workers through 2015.

Democrats wanted to raise taxes on people making $1 million or more a year.

“Now is not the time to slam the brakes on the recovery, right now it’s time to step on the gas,” Obama said Friday.

Inside the unemployment report, one of the most closely watched indicators of the economy’s health, were signs of improvement for small businesses, which account for one of every two jobs in the private sector.

The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate.

The household survey picks up hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses and companies just getting off the ground. It also includes farm workers and the selfemployed, who aren’t

included in the survey of companies.

The household survey has shown an average of 321,000 jobs created per month since July, compared with an average of 13,000 the first seven months of the year.

When the economy is improving or slipping into recession, many economists say, the household survey does the better job of picking up the shift because it is more likely to detect small business hiring.

“We might finally be seeing new business creation expand again, which is critical to the sustainability of the recovery,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, a financial services company.

The National Federation of Independent Business, a small business group, said Friday that its own survey of small companies shows that more of them are planning to add workers than at any time since September 2008, when the financial crisis struck.

PSMH announces Olympian University students win awards Costco association PSM Holdings Inc.

IRS seeks to return $153 million in refunds In an annual reminder to taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service has announced that it is looking to return $153.3 million in undelivered tax refund checks. In all, 99,123 taxpayers are due refund checks this year that could not be delivered because of mailing address errors.

Undelivered refund checks average $1,547 this year.

Locally, there are 542 New Mexico taxpayers who have $508,673 in undelivered refunds waiting to be claimed.

Taxpayers who believe their refund check may have been returned to the IRS as undelivered should use the “Where's My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov.

The tool will provide the status of their refund and, in some cases, instructions on

how to resolve delivery problems.

Taxpayers checking on a refund over the phone will receive instructions on how to update their addresses.

Taxpayers can access a telephone version of “Where’s My Refund?” by calling 1800-829-1954.

While only a small percentage of checks mailed out by the IRS are returned as undelivered, taxpayers can put an end to lost, stolen or undelivered checks by choosing direct deposit when they file either paper or electronic returns. Last year, more than 78.4 million taxpayers chose to receive their refund through direct deposit. Taxpayers can receive refunds directly into their bank account, split a tax refund into two or three financial accounts or even buy a savings bond.

Cosmetology students at Olympian University, 4501 N. Main St., achieved outof-this-world results at the recent multi-state Educational Forum in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Roswell cosmetology school not only won first place in the three-person team competition and was top winner in the bridal updo contest, they also captured second place for the three-person team and second place for bridal updo. Other school winners included third and fifth place for the fantasy mannequin category. Students from 20 schools were eligible to compete.

Under the theme “Award Winners” the team of Meghan Harris, Karina Favela and Katie Drake turned their model and fellow classmate Brooklyn Edwards into a life-sized trophy. Edwards was gilded from head to toe with a glimmering gold lame dress (complete with wings) and ingot-inspired floor hair extensions fashioned into elegant sphereshaped balls that were wrapped in sparkling, metallic ornamentation. To complete the Midas touch, the award topper sported golden makeup and fingernail polish. The team created a shiny golden-colored platform for the living trophy to perch and spread her shimmering wings.

“The team worked very hard and literally took home the gold for their efforts,” said Peggy Richburg, director of Olympian University. “Our very talented Phase II instructor, Kristi Eaton, is famous for helping each student bring out their best and these young women applied their creativity, organizational and communicational skills, as well as good old-fashioned practice, practice, practice to produce a prize-winning result.”

Eaton said the students were winners in the

classroom as well and once they decided to compete they organized weekly meetings to discuss their project, participated in fundraising and even found a sponsor to cover their traveling expenses.

There were three categories at the Educational Forum: a competition for a Bridal Mannequin, a Fantasy Mannequin, as well as a three-person team event. In the threeperson team competition students were told to pull

out the stops and create an original, themed entry that incorporated hair and makeup that would wow the judges, spectators and fellow students.

Each entry was judged based on creativity, originality, innovation, color and theme.

Other winners from Roswell included Renee Anaya, first place in the bridal mannequin competition, and Daisy Aguilar, who placed second in the same category; JR

Samario, who took third in the fantasy hair and makeup category, and Anaya who placed fifth in the same category.

Olympian University in Roswell has won approximately 20 awards in the past five years. The cosmetology school is accepting applications for men and women who are interested in a career in cosmetology.

When I try to discuss this with her, she says her work requires this constant communication, but I know it doesn’t.

There have been times when Aileen’s feelings have been hurt because her son doesn’t want to go someplace with her and prefers to stay with us instead. I suspect that he feels ignored when he’s with her because her thumb is constantly flying across her phone. How can we get her to understand how this might be making her child feel?

DEAR ABBY: I have heard of interventions for drug and alcohol addicts.

Could I stage one for my daughter “Aileen’s” addiction to texting on her cellphone and Facebook?

She and our grandson live with us because her marriage broke up. I am becoming the boy’s default mother because Aileen is constantly texting or spending hours on Facebook.

She’ll say, “I have to send a quick message,” then reappear an hour later. By then, we have fed our grandson and changed his diaper.

DEAR FULLY PRESENT: You could and should stage an intervention with your daughter. Aileen is neglecting her son. It’s a shame that before couples are allowed to conceive that they aren’t forced to take parenting classes. The time she spends on Facebook and texting is time she should be interacting with him.

Because she is so easily distracted, you and her father

should declare your home to be a digital-free zone unless your grandson is napping or in bed for the night. Consider making discussions with the boy’s pediatrician — and perhaps parenting classes — a condition of her staying in your home.

DEAR MALE READER: I wish you had included your address and phone number because I would have contacted you personally. The first thing to do is get a second opinion regarding your vision loss. If the diagnosis is confirmed, there are devices available that can help some sight-impaired people.

There are also programs to help you adjust to your vision loss and live an independent and full life. But you should start now.

Some of the symptoms you describe could be signs of depression. Please consult your physician about them. With counseling and medication, the “rain” in your life could be reduced to a drizzle you can handle. And hang onto your faith because it will serve you well.

Years ago, my father (from the Netherlands) and my mother (from Ukraine) immigrated to the U.S.; they used the Sunday comics to learn how to read English. Thank you for being part of my heritage.

How wonderful that your parents were able to learn English using the Sunday comics. I hear from readers all the time saying that reading this column (which ran in the comics section in many papers) helped them learn English. I would be interested in knowing of other readers who learned from my column (or comic strips or comic books).

Dear Heloise: For the lady who bought white towels, cut off the black labels but still has the black showing through, she might like to try my method of cutting off the labels as close as possible, then pulling out the remaining threads with a tweezer.

It doesn’t always work, and sometimes I have to wash them a few times to get the remaining threads to loosen. It takes a bit of time and effort but is worth it and is something I can do while watching TV. I remember your mother’s column in The Honolulu Advertiser, as I, too, was a young military bride in 1960 (Naval Housing Area 2, Honolulu 18, Hawaii) and loved reading her advice.
