Winter weather causes injuries and fatalities

Two local residents died in traffic accidents in Dexter and Roswell in a period a little over 12 hours, Monday evening and Tuesday morning.

Around 4:25 p.m. Monday, New Mexico State Police responded to the scene of a two-vehicle crash on State Road 2 near Darby Road at mile marker 31. The crash involved a 2001 Dodge Dually pickup, driven by Mr. Jose Ortega-Leal, 46, and a 2001 Dodge pickup, driven

by Jose D. Barrientos, 52.

Both individuals were residents of Dexter.

Passengers of the 2001 Dodge pickup were Mrs. San Juana Barrientos, 39, Ximena Barrientos, 5, and Cassandra Barrientos, 9, also from Dexter.

Emergency personnel extricated the occupants from the 2001 Dodge pickup who were transported to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center to be treated.

City councilors were unsatisfied with the two additional redistricting concepts presented for their respective wards, at their third redistricting workshop Tuesday evening. Councilors viewed the concepts as drastically splitting precincts in their various wards.

In a request for proposal bid, the city selected Southwest Political Services to draw up redistricting maps for its wards.

Sterling Fluharty, owner and project manager at SPS, presented least change, or a status-quo oriented, map to councilors on Nov. 28. This map was dubbed Concept A. Fluharty maintained, as he has in previous meetings, that balancing population is the highest priority for redistricting. Balancing the population ensures the constitutional principle of

Daria Martinez, 43, was arrested on drug charges, Saturday. Martinez was one of 84 people who were targeted in a massive sting operation on Sept. 22. The operation was a combined county, state and federal effort, including Chaves County Metro Narcotics Task Force, DEA, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, New Mexico State Police, RPD's SWAT team and sheriff's deputies from Chaves, Eddie, Lea and Otero counties, which netted 67 people on charges of drug trafficking.

NEW YORK (AP) — Until this week, the fate of Europe seemed to hang on the decisions of three power brokers — the president of France, the chancellor of Ger many and the head of the European Central Bank.

Add a surprising fourth: Standard & Poor’s, the credit rating agency.

S&P ripped into American politicians last summer for failing to address long-ter m debt and stripped the United States of its top-flight credit rating. Now it is essentially war ning Europe to fix its debt problem — or else.

Critics of S&P have questioned its credibility and relevance because it failed to foresee the col-

lapse in the U.S. subprime mortgage market, which helped trigger the financial meltdown of 2008.

But what S&P says about the creditworthiness of European countries, or just about any other financial entity, still matters a great deal.

S&P rates companies and governments by their ability to repay debt. The higher the rating — AAA is the highest — the more investors trust them, and the less interest companies or governments have to pay to borrow money.

S&P threatened to lower its rating on 15 nations — even Germany, the most powerful economy in Europe — if their leaders don’t agree on a tough response to the

European debt crisis.

Borrowing costs for European countries were little changed after S&P’s announcement, which came Monday night Europe time. But ratings cuts later could force countries to pay higher interest rates on the national bonds they issue to investors, creating a dangerous debt spiral and pushing them closer to default.

In a debt spiral, a country is forced to put aside an ever larger share of its budget for interest.

That leaves less for everything else, and the country has to borrow even more to make up the difference — or cut services, hurting the economy.

Obama sets campaign theme: Middle class at stake

Audience members listen as President Obama addresses the crowd at Osawatomie High School, Tuesday, in Osawatomie, Kan.

OSAWATOMIE, Kan. (AP) — Declaring the American middle class in jeopardy, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined a populist economic vision that will drive his re-election bid, insisting the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if provided “a fair shot and a fair share.”

While never making an overt plea for a second term, Obama’s offered his

most comprehensive lines of attack against the candidates seeking to take his job, only a month before Republican voters begin choosing a presidential nominee. He also sought to inject some of the longovershadowed hope that energized his 2008 campaign, saying: “I believe America is on its way up.”

In small-town Osawatomie, in a high school gym where patriotic bunting lined the bleachers, Obama presented

himself as the one fighting for shared sacrifice and success against those who would gut government and let people fend for themselves. He did so knowing the nation is riven over the question of whether economic opportunity for all is evaporating.

For Obama, saddled with a weak national economic recovery, the speech was a chance to break away from Washing-

Questions swirl around $6 billion nuclear lab

SANTA FE (AP) — At Los Alamos National Laboratory, scientists and engineers refer to their planned new $6 billion nuclear lab by its clunky acronym, CMRR, short for Chemistry Metallurgy Research Replacement Facility. But as a work in progress for three decades and with hundreds of millions of dollars already spent, nomenclature is among the minor issues.

Questions continue to swirl about exactly what kind of nuclear and plutonium research will be done there, whether the lab is really necessary, and — perhaps most important — will it be safe, or could it

become New Mexico’s equivalent of Japan’s Fukushima?

As federal officials prepare the final design plans for the controversial and very expensive lab, increased scrutiny is being placed on what in recent years has been discovered to be a greater potential for a major earthquake along the fault lines that have carved out the stunning gorges, canyons and valleys that surround the nation’s premier nuclear weapons facility in norther n New Mexico.

Final preparations for the lab — whose high-end price tag estimate of $5.8 billion is almost $1 billion more

than New Mexico’s annual state budget and more than double the lab’s annual budget — also comes as a cash-strapped Congress looks to trim defense spending and cut cleanup budgets at contaminated facilities like Los Alamos. It also comes as the inspector general recommends that the federal gover nment consider consolidating its far -flung network of research labs.

Despite the uncertainty, the National Nuclear Safety Administration, an arm of the Department of Energy that oversees the nation’s nuclear labs, is moving forward on final designs for the lab. Project director

The Roswell City Council will meet at 7 p.m., Thursday at City Hall, 425 N. Richardson Ave., for its regular business meeting.

At the meeting, the council will hold a public hearing regarding redistricting.

Results from the 2010 Census show that the city’s population is no longer equally distributed amongst its five wards.

Population change necessitates the drawing of new

ward boundaries. A public hearing is required by law, since changes made to wards would amend a current ordinance.

The council will vote on two resolutions during its meeting. The first regards the adoption of a downtown master plan for the city.

The latter involves adopting the Metropolitan Redevelopment Area designation report regarding the city’s railroad district. Both items

were recommended by the city’s planning and zoning commission for council approval.

Herman Le-Doux says it has been redesigned with input from the nation’s leading seismic experts, and the NNSA has “gone to great extremes” to ensure the planned building could withstand an earthquake of up to 7.3 magnitude.

Most seismic experts agree that would be a worst-case scenario for the area. But many people who live near the lab — and have seen it twice threatened by massive wildfires in 10 years — see no reason for taking the chance.

Watchdog groups, however, call it an effort by the DOE and NNSA to escalate the production of new nuclear weapons and turn

what has largely been a research facility into a bomb factory.

While much of the public outcry over Los Alamos in recent years has focused on lagging cleanup efforts of radioactive waste and hazardous runof f into the canyons that drain into the Rio Grande, earthquake danger and the potential for catastrophic releases of radiation from existing facilities was front and center at a recent meeting in Santa Fe of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, appointed by Congress to oversee the nation’s nuclear facilities.

Since the last contractor took over operations in

2006, he said, “It’s fair to say they have improved safety at the sites.” But he pointed to two recent memos about deficiencies in nuclear safety programs that he said underscore the fact “that the operations out there are very challenging and that there is plenty of room for improvement.”

Asked if he thought it was wise to spend billions of dollars to keep the nation’s nuclear weapons operations centered on an earthquake-prone mesa, Winokur said his mandate from Congress is to oversee safety, not second guess major policy decisions.

donations for Christmas party JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

After 33 years, and aiding 1,400 needy children in 2010, Johnny Gonzales, founder of the Community Volunteer Program, is back at it again.

Gonzales is asking for toy donations for this year’s children’s Christmas party.

Around 34 years ago, Gonzales saw that many youth in the community did not experience the family atmosphere that surrounds Christmas. He said he wanted to give that experience to them, so he started the children’s party.

Gonzales said that he continues to pray for the children and their parents. He attributes his prayers to the success of the party and program each year.

This year’s party will be held at the Yucca Recre-

ton’s incremental battles and his own small-scale executive actions. He offered a sweeping indictment of economic inequality and unleashed his own brand of prairie populism.

Billed as an important address that would put today’s economic debates in context, Obama’s speech seemed a bit like two packaged into one.

The first was that of the campaigner, full of loft and reclamation of American values. The second was the gover ning Obama, who recited his

ation Center, 500 S. Richardson Ave., starting at 7 p.m., on Dec. 24. The party provides toys, food and entertainment for needy children in the community. Each child who attends the party is able to take a handful of toys of their choosing, Gonzales said. Roundtrip transportation will be provided for the children.

If needed, volunteers will make home deliveries to handicapped children in the community.

Although, Gonzales said he likes them to be a part of the party atmosphere, if possible.

Grandmother hour will be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 24. During this time, grandmothers in the community can come and pick out toys for their grandkids.

Currently, new and used toy donations are needed for the party. As of Dec. 6, only 35 toys

had been collected. Toy donations will be accepted up until 7 p.m. on Dec. 24. Gonzales said anyone who wishes can hand deliver their donations to the party.

familiar jobs agenda, his feud with Congress over extending a Social Security tax cut, even his fight to get his consumer watchdog confirmed.

Obama tied himself to Roosevelt, the president and reformer who came to this town in eastern Kansas and called for a “square deal” for regular Americans. Roosevelt said then the fight for progress was a conflict “between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess.”

It is a theme Obama is embracing in a mounting fight for re-election against Republicans who, regardless of the nomi-

nee, will attack his stewardship of the economy.

Obama took aim at the Republicans, saying they would only retur n the same structures that led to America’s economic downturn.

Obama noted that Theodore Roosevelt was called a “radical, a socialist, even a communist” for putting forth ideas in his last campaign such as an eight-hour work day, a minimum wage for women, unemployment insurance and a progressive income tax.

Obama attempted to sum up the pain and peril for a society where the middle class is struggling.

But he also called for individual responsibility.

Monetary donations, to aid in food and toy costs, will also be accepted.

Gonzales added that he is particularly in need of apples, oranges and rock candy. He said he would also love to receive homemade cookies baked by community members.

Advocating for other community organizations, Gonzales said not to forget any other clubs and organizations that help children at this time.

Pearl Harbor survivors return to ships after death Roswell Daily Record

HONOLULU (AP) — Lee Soucy decided five years ago that when he died he wanted to join his shipmates killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Soucy lived to be 90, passing away just last year.

On Tuesday, seven decades after dozens of fellow sailors were killed when the USS Utah sank on Dec. 7, 1941, a Navy diver will take a small urn containing his ashes and place it in a porthole of the ship.

The ceremony is one of five memorials being held this week for servicemen who lived through the assault and want their remains placed in Pearl Harbor out of pride and affinity for those they left behind.

“They want to return and be with the shipmates that they lost during the attack,” said Jim Taylor, a retired sailor who coordinates the ceremonies.

The memorials are happening the same week the country observes the 70th

anniversary of the aerial bombing that killed 2,390 Americans and brought the United States into World War II. A larger ceremony to remember all those who perished will be held Wednesday just before 8 a.m. Hawaii time — the same moment the devastating attack began.

Most of the 12 ships that sank or were beached that day were removed from the harbor, their metal hulls salvaged for scrap. Just the Utah and the USS Arizona still lie in the dark blue waters. Only survivors of those vessels may return in death to their ships.

The cremated remains of Vernon Olsen, who served aboard the Arizona, will be interred on his ship during a sunset ceremony Wednesday. The ashes of three other survivors are being scattered in the harbor.

Soucy, the youngest of seven children, joined the Navy out of high school so he wouldn’t burden his

parents. In 1941, he was a pharmacist mate, trained to care for the sick and wounded.

He had just finished breakfast that Sunday mor ning when he saw planes dropping bombs on airplane hangars. He rushed to his battle station after feeling the Utah lurch, but soon heard the call to abandon ship as the vessel began sinking. He swam to shore, where he made a makeshift first aid center to help the wounded and dying. He worked straight through for two days.

The Utah lost nearly 60 men on Dec. 7, and about 50 are still entombed in the battleship. Today, the rusting hull of the Utah sits on its side next to Ford Island, not far from where it sank 70 years ago.

Soucy’s daughter, Margaret, said her parents had initially planned to have their ashes interred together at their church in Plainview, Texas. But her father changed his mind after vis-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney responded Tuesday to complaints that is shielding himself from media scrutiny, agreeing to more indepth interviews and holding his third modest press availability in four days.

The former Massachusetts governor continues to favor the conservativefriendly Fox News Channel.

But his campaign seemed eager to fend of f critics’ mockery of his frequent dodges of reporters and tough questioning.

Romney agreed to appear on “Fox News Sunday” on Dec. 18, his first national Sunday talk show in nearly two years. In Arizona, he fielded a few questions from national reporters, as he did on two occasions Saturday in New Hampshire.

“I’ll be on Fox a lot, because you guys matter when it comes to Republican primary voters,” Romney told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Tuesday. His campaign let other reporters listen to the exchange without jumping in.

The change in tone comes as Romney allies express fears that he is overdoing his above-thefray approach, just as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is rising in GOP polls. Republican insiders are divided on whether Romney should hit Gingrich harder. But in the wake of Romney’s prickly responses in a Nov. 29 televised interview, there was wider agreement that he needs to show he can handle tough questions from political reporters.

“The lack of engagement strategy has served Romney pretty well,” Rich

Galen, a GOP strategist and former Gingrich aide who is neutral in the current race, said in an interview Tuesday, before Romney signaled his more open posture. “Now I think they’ve got to alter course and get him out there more.”

Numerous Romney supporters had expressed concern over reports of him dodging reporters.

“It remains a mystery why Mitt Romney has done relatively few interviews,” Jennifer Rubin, a conservative blogger for The Washington Post who often praises Romney, wrote on Monday. The much-discussed Nov. 29 Fox interview, she said, might have gone better “had it been one of dozens of TV interviews he’d given during the campaign. ... He’s been the least interviewed candidate in the race.”

In that 15-minute exchange with Fox News’ Brett Baier, Romney bristled at questions about his changed views on abortion, climate change, immigration and gay rights, all of which are widely discussed in political circles.

Romney acknowledged rejecting his pro-abortionrights stand of the 1990s, although he did not explain why. Otherwise, he told Baier, “Your list is just not accurate.” Romney suggested the questions were inspired by “Democratic ads” that label him a serial flip-flopper.

Asked about his Massachusetts health initiative, which required residents to obtain medical insurance, Romney said he had answered the question “many hundred times.” He added: “This is an unusual interview.”

The questions were typi-

cal of those that many mainstream news organizations would ask, with no surprises or oddball queries. Except for Fox, which has several conservative hosts and is a favorite stop for GOP candidates, Romney rarely gives extended interviews to TV networks or national newspapers and news magazines.

Campaigning last Saturday in Manchester, N.H., Romney was surrounded by cheering fans as he took a few questions from reporters in the morning.

Shortly after noon, on a quiet residential street, he fielded a few more. However, the day’s only one-onone interviews, which give reporters a chance to ask follow-up questions, were with Fox News and a TV station from Derry, N.H. On Tuesday, Romney hinted he might slowly ramp up his criticism of Gingrich as he conducts more press availabilities.

“I will not be quiet,” he told Cavuto. “Speaker Gingrich is a friend, respected.

But we have very different life experiences.”

Romney said Gingrich has spent the past 40 years or so in Washington, “working as an insider.” Romney, whose only elected experience is four years as Massachusetts governor, says he would bring a more business-oriented, outside perspective.

Some party veterans urge Romney to be cautious.

Bitter quarrels between politicians are “what people are sick and tired of,” said Rep. Steve LaTourette, ROhio. “It would be disappointing if he all the sudden lit in to Gingrich, and if Gingrich lit into Romney.”

LaTourette said he is backing Romney, partly

iting Pearl Harbor for the 65th anniversary in 2006.

“He announced that he wanted to be interred on the Utah. And my mother looked a little hurt and perplexed. And I said, ‘Don’t worry Daddy, I’ll take that part of your ashes that was your mouth and I’ll have those interred on the Utah.

And you can then tell those that have preceded you, including those that were entombed, what’s been going on in the world,’” Margaret Soucy recalled saying with a laugh. “‘And the rest of your remains we will put with mother in the church gardens at St. Mark’s.’ And then my sister spoke up and said, ‘Yes, then mother can finally rest in peace,’” she said.

The family had long kidded Soucy for being talkative —they called him “Mighty Mouth” — so Margaret Soucy said her father laughed and agreed. “He just thought that was hilarious,” she said.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

“So that is what we are doing. We’re taking only a portion of his ashes. It’s going to be a small urn,” she said.

Soucy’s three children, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren — 11 family members altogether — will be attending the sunset ceremony on Tuesday. His wife died earlier this year.

Sunset Tuesday was 5:49 p.m. in Honolulu, with light winds and temperatures in the 70s, with a repeat set for Wednesday.

An ur n carrying the ashes of Vernon Olsen, who was among the 334 on the Arizona to survive the attack, will be interred in a gun turret on the Arizona on Wednesday. Most of the battleship’s 1,177 sailors and Marines who died on Dec. 7 are still entombed on the ship.

Five months after Pearl Harbor Olsen was on the USS Lexington aircraft carrier when it sank during the Battle of the Coral Sea.

“I used to tell him he had nine lives. He was really lucky,” said his widow, Jo Ann Olsen.

He passed away in April at the age of 91 after a bout of pneumonia.

Pearl Harbor interment and ash scattering ceremonies began in the late 1980s, and started growing in number as more survivors heard about them.

Taylor has helped 265 survivors return to Pearl Harbor. The vast majority have had their ashes scattered. He’s arranged for the remains of about 20 Arizona survivors to be placed in the Arizona and about a dozen to be put in the Utah.

“These guys are heroes, OK. Fact is, in my opinion, anybody that’s ever served in the military and wore the uniform are heroes. That’s why you and I can breathe today in a free country. So I just appreciate what they did,” he said.

because he has a “hangover” from Gingrich’s tumultuous days as House speaker in the mid-1990s.

“Everything always seemed to be on fire,” he said.

Republican consultant Terry Holt also urged Romney to proceed carefully.

“It’s important to protect your candidate’s reputation and image,” he said. Romney has a statesmanlike image, Holt said, and “I’d be very hesitant to sacrifice that with so much time on the clock.”

As for in-depth interview programs, even some Democrats sympathize with Romney’s reluctance.

“You have to find a happy balance,” he said, between protecting the candidate from gaffes and convincing voters that the contender is smart, prepared and capable.

If a candidate skips tough questions or handles them badly, Lehane said, voters will ask, “How are you going to deal with some significant crisis? These are fairly easy things compared to what you’ll face as president.”

OPINION

N.M. troops also attacked 70 years ago today SANTA FE — On Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7, 1941, New Mexico’s National Guard troops, deployed to the Philippines, knew the Japanese would attack them the same day.

They had been watching reconnaissance planes fly over every day, but had orders not to fire.

Our reconnaissance planes saw the huge buildup on Formosa.

Japan had captured everything to the north, including China. The Philippines were the last major obstacle on the way to Australia.

Our men just didn’t know when the attack was coming. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, it was about 4 a.m., on Dec. 8, in the Philippines, on the other side of the International Date Line. The attack on the Philippines was planned for 8 a.m., but clouds over Formosa delayed it until noon.

That gave eight hours advance notice. During that time, rumors of the attack spread among vari-

ous units of our troops, but they received no orders to mobilize.

Some of the delay was attributed to sabotage.

Clark Field was a prime target of the air attack. Tommy Foy, later a New Mexico state legislator, was unable to get through to Clark Field from his post. Neither could anyone else. The warning never got through. The planes and trucks, lined up with military precision made perfect targets for strafing runs.

Washington had not shared everything it knew with its military commanders in the Pacific, but many still wonder why Gen.

Roswell Daily Record

MacArthur wasn’t better prepared for alerting his troops. The 200th Coast Artillery still hadn’t gotten all its guns and equipment unpacked. That task had to be finished under fire.

The story of the equipment was the same as before. It was either defective or outmoded. The ammunition was corroded and most of the shells were duds. As box after box was opened, our men realized that these were their rejects from Fort Bliss, where they had trained outside El Paso. Much of it was left over from World War I. But despite only one out of 10 shells being good, they scored five confirmed hits the first day. Four years later, in a speech at Deming, Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright confirmed that the 200th had been the first unit in the Philippines to fire on the enemy.

It didn’t take long for the competence of the New Mexico guardsmen, who comprised the 200th Coast Artillery, to be noticed. That

first night, the undermanned 200th, too small to defend Clark Field, was split.

A third of the regiment was sent to Manila and christened as a new regiment, the 515th. It was America’s first war-born regiment, composed of only 500 men, instead of the usual 1,800. The following day, another 200 men were transferred to other units in need of their expertise. “The old 200th” was now down to only 1,100 men.

The equipment situation was just as bad in Manila as it had been at Clark Field. Nearly everything, including communications equipment, was World War I vintage. But our guys got everything working well enough to go into action within 24 hours of their arrival.

As our troops were approaching Manila on Dec. 9, the Navy was pulling out, headed south to the Dutch East Indies. But reinforcements for our anti-aircraft units were on the way. Seven ships and

a heavy cruiser were headed to Manila with planes, artillery and ammunition.

Later that day, however, Washington redirected the convoy to Australia and turned four troopships, bound for Manila, back to San Francisco. MacArthur was not told, nor was he informed of the secret Roosevelt-Churchill accord to “get Hitler first.” Instead Gen. George Marshall radioed him to “expect every possible assistance.”

On Dec. 10, Japanese assault forces began landing, preparatory to a full-scale invasion, and Japanese bombers and fighters began massive assaults on air fields and Manila Bay. And thus began a terrible four months, holding the line to disrupt Japan’s quick advance to Australia, and control of the entire Pacific.

Global warming alarmism cooling

Another frantic effort to redistribute wealth from developed nations to developing nations is under way, this time in Durban, South Africa. The excuse is the same old, tiresome claim that socialism writ large is necessary to save the planet from global warming.

Fewer people are fooled every year the United Nations brings together representatives of about 190 nations hoping to profit from the shakedown. Just as claims of climate doom are wearing thin, so are arguments for separating you from your money.

We like the way contrarian climate scientist S. Fred Singer describes the confab: “10,000 or so Durban attendees — official delegates, U.N. and government officials, journalists, NGO types and other hangers-on — will have a grand old time: two weeks of feasting, partying, living it up in luxury hotels and greeting old friends at this 17th reunion — all at someone else’s expense.”

“At someone else’s expense” could be the theme of the global warming movement.

Americans should be pleased that the conference no sooner began than the U.S. was blamed for not taxing and regulating greenhouse gases enough, and for not writing enough compensatory checks to countries less fortunate. In the view of those overseas who want your money, America still hasn’t sacrificed enough, despite onerous regulations and punitive taxes imposed domestically, including the horrific California Global Warming Solutions Act. The United States and other developed nations are realizing that reducing their own productivity — a byproduct of reducing greenhouse gas emissions — isn’t smart in hard times. It’s good to see common sense prevail.

On the eve of this conference to extend the draconian Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gaslimiting treaty, someone leaked thousands of emails revealing the duplicity, flawed science and conspiratorial inclination of the clique of climate scientists, who have claimed global warming threatens the planet.

A similar leak occurred on the eve of the 2009 global warming conference in Copenhagen, which ended in frustration for climate alarmists and nothing binding for the rest of us. The emails’ peek behind the scenes called into question the motives of climate alarmists and the reliability of the science behind their scary stories and pointed up the conspiratorial nature of the clique.

It also hasn’t hurt that the public increasingly is aware that climate alarmists’ catastrophic claims aren’t panning out. Sea levels declined in 2010, rather than drowning island nations as claimed. The melting of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snowcap was proven unrelated to global warming, contrary to claims. There are fewer, not more, devastating hurricanes. Temperatures at best have remained level for nearly 15 years, despite historic increases in CO2 emissions, which warming theorists insist should drive them higher.

And now, as nations ride out a rough economy, they are becoming more reluctant to cut their own economic throats and throw money at unproductive uses.

Guest Editorial The Orange County Register DEAR DOCTOR. K: I try to eat a balanced diet but don’t always succeed. Should I take a single vitamin supplement?

How about a multivitamin?

DEAR READER: This apparently simple question is tough to answer. Here’s why. In the past 200 years, doctors discovered several diseases that were caused by severe deficiencies of particular vitamins. An example is scurvy, a disease that was caused by lack of vitamin C. These days you don’t need to worry about these vitamindeficiency diseases, even if you’re not always eating a perfectly balanced diet. Many of today’s foods are fortified with vitamins. So you don’t need to take vitamin pills to prevent

When did we stop caring about adultery?

We live in a bipolar culture.

We allow ourselves to be drenched in sexual images in movies, on television and on the Internet and then defend First Amendment protection to even the most graphic of them. Then, when a politician acts out what culture promotes, we criticize him, especially if he’s conservative, branding him with the equivalent of a “scarlet letter.”

In our not too distant past, a feeling of shame made people go into hiding after an adulterous relationship was exposed. Now they go on television to talk about the sleazy details. They either deny it

these diseases.

In the past 40 years or so, doctors found some evidence that more subtle deficiencies of particular vitamins might increase the risk of various serious diseases. For example, B-vitamin or beta-carotene deficiency might increase the risk of heart disease. Vitamin E deficiency might increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

New Mexico veteran population; burial benefits Roswell Daily Record

Here are some interesting facts you may want to “tuck away.” How many of us veterans are out there today? The VA issued its periodic report this past April (as of 2009). Veterans number of 23,800,00 in America. In New Mexico, 179,000, with the N.M. total population of 2,059,179 (8.715% are veterans). Looking at N.M. numbers, percentages for various groupings are interesting. Vietnam era (only) veterans number 52, 011 (2.52 percent of total New Mexicans), Gulf WarIraq-Afghanistan (only) are 39,246 (1.91 percent), World War II (only) are 17,131 (0.831 percent), Korean War (only) are 17,066 (0.827 percent).

Add to these the combined wars figures: Vietnam, Gulf-Afghan-Iraq 3,832 (0.185 percent); Vietnam and Korea 2,384 (0.115 percent); Korea and WWII

1,799 (0.086 percent) Vietnam, Korea, World War II 997 (0.047 percent); Vietnam, Gulf-Afghan-Iraq and Korea 60 (0.002 percent); those in all wars mentioned are 4 (0.001 percent). All our World War I vets are gone.

Several brother and sister vets have asked me to give some info on VA Burial Benefits, so here’s a brief commentary. What are “burial and plot-interment allowances?” VA burial allowances are partial reimbursements of an eligible (death is service related) veteran's burial and funeral costs. Also, when the cause of death is not service related, the reimbursements are generally described as two payments: 1. A burial and funeral expense allowance.

2. A plot or inter ment allowance.

In addition, at least one of the following conditions

VETERANS ADVOCATE

must be met: • The veteran died because of a service-related disability • The veteran was receiving VA pension or compensation at the time of death.

• The veteran was entitled to receive VA pension or compensation, but decided not to reduce his/her military retirement or disability pay.

• The veteran died while hospitalized by VA, or while receiving care under VA contract at a non-VA facility.

• The veteran died while traveling under proper

authorization and at VA expense to or from a specified place for the purpose of examination, treatment, or care.

• The veteran had an original or reopened claim pending at the time of death and has been found entitled to compensation or pension from a date prior to the date of death.

• The veteran died on or after Oct. 9,1996, while a patient at a VA-approved state nursing home.

How Much Does VA Pay? Service-Related Death- the VA will pay up to $2,000 toward burial expenses for deaths on or after Sept. 11, 2001. VA will pay up to $1,500 for deaths prior to Sept. 10, 2001. If the veteran is buried in a VA national cemetery, some or all of the cost of transporting the deceased may be reimbursed. (Columnist’s noteLet’s see, average funeral costs are running around

$8,000, and the VA will pay $1,500 or 18 percent. Yep, that’s about right for the VA). Oh, to be consistent, the VA is paying more to “desert vets” for reasons that escape me. A whopping $2,000 or 25 percent.)(Oh, I forgot the National Cemetary option.

That would mean the family and friends of rural vets, like us, would have to drive 4-5 hours round trip to visit their loved one’s grave.

Nonservice-related deaththe VA will pay up to $300 toward burial and funeral expenses and a $300 plotinter ment allowance for deaths on or after Dec. 1, 2001.

So here’s where I come down — based on the scientific evidence available today. As more evidence comes in, I reserve the right to change my mind.

I’m still inclined to give daily multivitamins the benefit of the doubt.

They’re not likely to pose any risk. But I’m less optimistic today than I was 20 years ago that

they offer a benefit. If you do decide to take a multivitamin, look for a brand that contains enough vitamin D. Finally, if you’re a woman of childbearing age, don’t forget to take a folic acid supplement every day. That is the one case in a developed nation like the United States where the value of taking a daily vitamin supplement has been proven beyond doubt.

It’s not a trick question, but one that goes to the core of an individual’s values and character. What is marriage? Is it something for the convenience of the U.S. Post Office for orderly mail delivery, or is there a Higher Authority behind it? For most people, marriage is a sacrament with “rules” firmly established

by God and when followed these rules benefit married couples, their children and society.

Among the main requirements of marriage is fidelity. “Forsaking all others” is the phrase contained in the Christian marriage vow.

Divorce has become widely accepted (though not to the Author of marriage) as a sometimes “necessary evil,” but adultery remains for most people what it has always been: a betrayal.

It’s not just a religious concept. Ask a person who is married but does not believe in God how he or she would feel about a cheating spouse and you most likely would get the same response you would receive from one who does believe in a higher power: anger and profound disappointment.

In The Washington Post’s “Reliable Sources” column last week, Roxanne Roberts and Amy Argetsinger asked, “Is an af fair still the kiss of death?” That they have to ask the question is another indicator of falling standards. Once, divorce was a political “kiss of death.” Now we are debating whether adultery should carry a similar penalty. One shudders to think what might be next.

Ultimately, what voters must decide is this: Does a presidential candidate’s personal flaws rise (or fall) to a level that inhibits his ability to do the job of president? Put another way, if you are about to have surgery, do you care if the doctor is a cad, or do you care more whether most of his patients are alive and well?

With the multiple challenges Americans face and with the choices presented to us, if the country is to be made well, voters may just have to sacrifice the ideal for the pragmatic.

Muddy political contests

Dear Editor: After watching over half a dozen debates and seeing some of the misleading and out-of-context political commercials already being aired one can hardly separate the wheat from the chaff. The next year will be not only a contest between candidates but also a contest between super-PAC commercials.

The voter who is not a dyed in the wool party partisan whose mind is already made up will have to sort through all the political smoke and confusion each party and their super-PACs will be throwing our way.

I think a voter’s handbook along the line of the “... for Dummies” book series is in order. It should be called “Voting for Dummies.” You can take that either way you want.

New Mexico struggles with winter blast aftermath

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico dealt with the after math Tuesday of a severe winter blast that left at least one person dead and closed more schools and highways in the southern part of the state.

Interstate 40 from Albuquerque to Gallup — part of the historic Route 66 — and Interstate 25 between Las Cruces and Belen slowly reopened to traffic after blowing snow caused nearzero visibility and because of ice on the road. A number of crashes were reported on I-10 between Las

As a result of the crash, State Road 2 was closed for nearly two hours between State Road 256 and Darby Road while the crash scene was cleared.

The initial investigation by New Mexico State Police determined that the 2001 Dodge Dually pickup driv-

AAA recommends people wait until snow plows and sanding trucks have been out. Do not pass snow plows and sanding trucks.

The road conditions will be worse in front of the vehicles than behind. When weather conditions are bad, always allow extra drive time.

RPD spokesman Officer Travis Holley said, “Slow, slow, slow. In conditions we had yesterday, going the speed limit is too fast.”

The investigation revealed that the northbound pickup crossed left of center veering into the southbound lane of traffic and striking the Dodge pickup on the driver side quarter panel and front end.

The driver of the Dodge pickup was also transported to ENMMC for treatment of his injuries, where he was arrested on AAA also says avoid quick stops, citing the difference in the amount of inertia it takes to start moving from a full stop versus how much it takes to get moving while still rolling. Brake gently. Pump standard brakes. With antilock brakes apply steady pressure. If wheels lock, ease up on brakes.

Do not stop on a hill if at all possible. Do not accelerate going up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads or inclines may start the wheels spinning. Use inertia before reaching the hill and use low gears to maintain traction, especially on hills. Reduce speed at the top of a hill and proceed down slowly.

Turn on lights even in the daytime, and keep lights and windshield clean. Never use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads. Bridges, overpasses of Martinez brings that number up to 14.

Among those arrested to date are: Jesse Garza, Sarah Chapman, Patrick Stacey, David Sorenson, Victor Avidrez, Charlie Contreras, Francisca Sanchez, Gabriel Gonzales, Samantha McCoy, Adrian Orona, Aaron Cordero, Yvette Moya and Jerry Martinez.

Those who remain fugitives from justice include: Robert Matta, Ernie Montoya, Peggie Sue Montoya and Gerald Sentell.

when a third vehicle slid into his vehicle, police said.

He was pinned between his truck and the second vehicle.

The storm was the third to hit the state recently and spread heavy snow throughout northern and southern New Mexico. It forced school districts to close or end classes early Monday, as motorists struggled with icy roads.

Early Tuesday KOB-TV reported nearly 200 active closings and delays.

Meteorologists said heavy snow wasn’t to blame for

the highway closures but rather strong winds brushing the light snow across roads, making visibility difficult. Some areas, such as Tajique, saw 2-foot snow drifts.

Kerry Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said the severe weather was expected to move from the norther n and central part of the state to the south Tuesday where winds and light snow were expected to make traveling difficult.

Around 6 a.m. a Ford pickup travelling westbound in the 1700 block of West McGaffey Street hit a patch of ice. The pickup slid off the road into a ditch. A second vehicle stopped to help the driver, Pedro Campos, 36, of the first vehicle.

While Campos was attempting to chain the two vehicles together, a

third vehicle skidded out of control and hit the other two vehicles. The vehicle driven by Gildardo Pina, 39, pinned Campos between his vehicle and that of his would-be rescuer. Mr. Campos was transported to ENMMC. He later died as a result of those injuries.

The good Samaritan was not injured in the accident.

Investigation revealed that Pina was driving on a suspended Arizona license. Officials believe he has no insurance coverage. Charges are pending for Mr. Pina, which may

and infrequently traveled roads present a special safety hazard. They will freeze first. Drivers should look for ice in shady areas or exposed roads even at temperatures above freezing. Front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive does not guarantee safety.

Drivers should not become complacent because it is starting to thaw, particularly when going through a cycle of daytime thaw followed by a nightly freeze. Often a puddle or slush will cover an icy patch. “That’s worse,” said Snyder A skid requires special handling. The driver should take his or her foot off the accelerator, but not brake.

According to AAA, drivers should steer with the skid.

In other words, if the rear wheels are sliding left, steer left. If they are sliding right, steer right.

If rear wheels start sliding in the opposite direction during recovery, ease the steering wheel toward that side. The driver may have to steer left and right a few times to get the vehicle completely under control.

If front wheels skid, remove foot from gas and shift into neutral. As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle and traction will return. Then and only then, steer in the appropriate direction. After that shift back into “drive” or release the clutch, and accelerate gently.

Be prepared. Make sure tires are properly inflated.

In extreme conditions have chains available. Maintain gas levels of at least onehalf tank to prevent gas line freeze-ups.

Fluharty was available, via teleconference, at the third workshop to explain and answer questions concerning the two additional concepts he created.

Concept B and Concept C created two wards that are over 60 percent Hispanic, a ward that is close

to 50 percent Hispanic and a ward that is close to 50 percent Anglo. Both maps achieve a remarkable degree of population equality and keep incumbents within their wards, according to Fluharty. Less than half of the precincts in the two concept maps are split by ward boundaries.

Altogether, city, state and county law enforcement worked nearly 20 accidents on area highways in a 24 hour period, with the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office investigating four on Monday night and Tuesday morning. The New Mexico Police also investigated four during that time. Inside Roswell, ket, water, food and reflectors. Some sort of shovel and sand or kitty litter kept in the trunk may be used to dig out or provide traction when stuck.

If stuck, do not spin wheels. It will dig tires deeper into the snow. First turn wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way. Accelerate slowly. Use a light touch on the gas and ease the vehicle out.

If available use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car. Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction.

If the worst happens, stay with your vehicle. It provides shelter and a car is easier to locate than a person. Don't over exert yourself if you try to push or dig your vehicle out of the snow. Use emergency

At the close of the workshop, councilors asked Fluharty to design three additional concept maps for them. These maps would maintain a large portion of the least-change map, Concept A, with tweakings to three precincts. Some councilors also voiced the opinion that at least two Hispanic majority wards should be maintained.

Fluharty said he would try to get the additional concepts to councilors by this

FOR HEAT SURGE LLC 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720

Public lines up for new low-cost appliance that slashes heat bills Amish craftsmen vow to keep up with rush for brand-new Hybrid-Thermic™ ‘Miracle Heater’ that uses about the same energy as a coffee maker per hour, so just plug it in and never be cold again BY: SAMUEL A. JAMES Universal Media Syndicate

N GOTTA HAVE ONE: People are flocking to Sears stores everywhere to get the brand-new Heat Surge HT. An eager crowd remained respectful as Jonas Miller stages a promotional delivery event. “I heard so much about the Amish Miracle Heater but couldn’t find where to get one,” an excited Mary Straughn said. That’s why a National Appliance Hotline has been set up for today’s readers who can’t rush out to get one. Readers who call the Hotline at 1-800-618-8510 will get free delivery with an extraordinary 2-Day Double Coupon that has been reprinted below.

N SAFE: The beautiful L.E.D. Fireless Flame on the new Heat Surge HT is N BLANKET FREE COMFORT: “We just couldn’t take another winter so stunning, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s actually safe to the touch. of always being cold. And as an early Christmas gift, we got one for the kids to help them with their heat bills,” Julia White said.

It’s so safe, it’s where the kids will play & the pets will sleep.

How It Works: You get 74º of bone-soothing room heat even when the home thermostat is turned down to 59º with the first-ever Heat Surge HT This is the revolutionary Heat Surge HT, the first-ever appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology. Hybrid-Thermic heat technology is an engineering genius so advanced, it actually uses a micro-furnace from the Coast of China and a thermal heat exchanger to perform its miracles. The thermal heat exchanger acts like the rays of the sun to heat you, the kids, the pets and everything else. The micro-furnace then heats all the surrounding air. Together, this Hybrid-Thermic heat technology warms both you and the air around you, taking care of all the cold spots. In fact, it actually produces bone-soothing heat to help you feel good.

This modern marvel uses L.E.D. technology and just a trickle of electricity and saves you money based on a U.S. average that says it uses only about 9¢ of electricity an hour on the standard setting, yet it produces up to an amazing 4,606 British Thermal Units (BTU’s) on the high setting. But here’s the big surprise. It’s not just a metal box that belongs in a basement.

The Heat Surge HT is a showpiece in any room. That’s because it has the ambiance of a real fireplace, but it has no real flames. Its Fireless Flame® technology makes it safe to the touch.

The portable Heat Surge HT comes inRoom Temp Room Temp stalled in a genuine with with Amish-built wood cabiHeat Surge HT Regular Heat net made in the heartland of Ohio. They are hand-rubbed, stained, and varnished. When it arrives, all you do is just plug it in.

Home thermostat set at 59º

N MODERN MARVEL: The revolutionary Heat Surge HT micro-furnace fits in any room because it’s packed inside a small Amish-built cabinet that measures just 25" high, 18" wide, and 12" deep.

Notice how the home thermostat is set at 59º. The left shows the Heat Surge Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ blanketing the whole-room with 74º of warmth.

An avalanche of unsolicited consumer reviews gives the company the reason to boast an overwhelming Consumer ‘Best Buy’ on the HeatReport.com website. Consumers should be aware of the fakes out there. This Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ can never be found at Wal-Mart®, not at Lowe’s®, not at Home Depot®, and none of the Club Stores. “Accept no imitations. If it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, it is not real Amish and it is not Hybrid-Thermic™. I repeat, if it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, you are getting ripped off,” said Heat Surge Chief Compliance Officer, Bob Knowles. The Heat Surge has earned the coveted Underwriters Laboratories certification and is protected by a limited full year replacement or money back warranty and 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.

(UMS) – Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turning the thermostat down and freezing our buns off.

That’s why Sears knew they had a home-run on their hands with the first-ever low-cost appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology. And no other heater anywhere has it.

The brand-new portable L.E.D. Heat Surge HT sips so little energy, you can run it all day or all night for just about a buck.

This modern marvel, hailed as the ‘Miracle Heater,’ caused such a frenzy at Sears stores, one shopper refused to leave until she got one. Since there were none in stock, store managers were forced to hand over the store’s only floor model, against store policy.

So today, immediate action is being taken to give more people, more ways to get them.

Beg i n n i n g at 8:3 0 a .m ., today’s readers are allowed to phone in or snag one online.

Heat Surge even posted a 2-Day Double Coupon which has been reprinted on this page for today’s readers to use.

By using this coupon, everyone who calls is being rewarded with $227. That makes this remarkable new home appliance a real steal at just $299. Since this is a Double Coupon Deal, it not only gives you an extraordinary discount, but also entitles you to free shipping and handling, totaling $227 off. So now everyone has a fair shot at getting one.

“Folks are sav ing money everywhere with the new Heat Surge HT,” said Kris Rumel, the company’s analyst tracking the impact Heat Surge is having on consumer heat bills.

This all started when Sears wanted the world-famous ‘Amish Miracle Heater’ that everyone was asking for.

The shy but now famous Amish craftsman said Sears made the most sense. “I’d reckon they’re the oldest and most trusted in the country,” one of the Amish craftsmen known as Melvin said.

“We’ve been saving folks money, big money. And we know it because we’re hearin’ about it,” he said.

“They know about our quality. No particle board, just real wood. Fully-assembled cabinets by our hands and we’re making them right here in the good ole USA,” Melvin said.

Director of Technology David Martin explained, “The Heat Surge HT is a revolutionary appliance that can easily roll from room to room. But we didn’t want it to look like some metal box that just sits there. So we turned to our Amish craftsmen and now each one is made to look like a sleek, slim fireplace that has no real flames.”

“The peaceful flicker of the ‘Fireless Flame’ is so beautiful, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s totally safe to the touch. All you do is just plug it in,” Martin said.

People from New Mexico to Washington and even Florida and Arizona are flocking to get them because they are finally able to give their central heat a rest during this long, frigid winter.

According to the avalanche of consumer reviews, people absolutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm head to toe, floor to ceiling.” And the word is getting out. That’s why people are clamoring to get them.

But Martin said right now the real problem is making sure the Amish craftsmen can keep up with the looming Christmas rush.

That’s why the Double Coupon expires in two days.

So for readers hoping to get the new Heat Surge for themselves and take care of Christmas gifts for others, there is good news.

You can use the 2-Day Double Coupon more than once. But there is a catch. You can only get away with it for the next two days from the date of today’s publication by calling the National Appliance Center at 1-800-618-8510.

Then, when it arrives, you’ll be rushing to turn down that thermostat. Just plug it in, watch your heat bills hit rock bottom, and never be cold again. N

Republicans block Obama nominee Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked President Barack Obama’s nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, partly as payback for the Democrats’ past opposition to Republican nominees.

Republicans portrayed Caitlin Halligan as a liberal activist, while Democrats argued she had outstanding qualifications for the seat that has been vacant since John Roberts was elevated to the Supreme Court.

The vote was 54-45, short of the 60 votes needed under Senate rules to break a filibuster.

Halligan is general counsel in the Manhattan district attorney’s office and formerly was the New York State solicitor general.

The Republican opposition reignited the furious political debate over judicial nominations, just as the issue had appeared to slightly calm down the past several months.

Since September, the Senate confirmed five of President Obama’s appellate nominees — four of them unanimously — and 19 U.S. district judges.

Obama, in a statement, said he was “deeply disappointed” with the “Republican pattern of obstructionism that puts party ahead of country. Today’s vote dramatically lowers the bar used to justify a filibuster.”

He added that Senate Republicans “are blocking 20 other highly qualified judicial nominees, half of whom I have nominated to fill vacancies deemed ‘judicial emergencies’ by the Administrative Office of the Courts.”

This wasn’t the first time Republicans have blocked an appellate nominee this year. Last May, Democrats fell short of the 60 votes needed to end a filibuster against Goodwin Liu as the nominee for the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s now on the California Supreme Court.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said “there is a lot at stake with nominations to this (D.C. Circuit) court” because its judges have frequently been considered — and elevated — to the Supreme Court. Halligan is 44.

Grassley then launched into the partisan history of the Republican attempt to fill the seat after Roberts left the District of Columbia appellate court.

President George W. Bush in June 2006 nominated Peter Keisler, who served as a top Justice Department official and for a time was acting attorney general.

“Mr. Keisler was eminently qualified to serve on that court,” Grassley said. “He had a distinguished academic and professional record. Despite his qualifications, Mr. Keisler waited 918 days for a committee vote, which never came.”

Grassley said six of Bush’s nominees, including Roberts, endured “delays, filibusters, multiple hearings, and other forms of obstruction.”

He contended that Halligan signed a report by New York City’s bar association panel that objected to military detentions of suspected terrorists. Grassley said Halligan had a role in state lawsuits “attempting to hold handgun manufacturers liable for criminal acts committed with handguns.”

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. warned, “The approach taken by Senate Republicans will have lasting consequences beyond this one.”

He said this filibuster was likely the final blow to a 2005 agreement by 14 senators — 9 still serving — to only filibuster judicial nominees under extraordinary circumstances. In the Liu nomination, several Republicans argued he was so liberal that extraordinary circumstances were present.

Arrests at border continue to drop

WASHINGTON (AP) — Arrests of illegal immigrants along the U.S. border with Mexico are at the lowest level since the Nixon administration, indicating that fewer people are attempting to cross the border to live or work in the United States. The development could change the debate on illegal immigration from securing the border to handling the people who are already here.

It’s the sixth straight year apprehensions have dropped.

“Increasingly the problem is the 11 million people (in the country illegally), rather than the border itself,” said Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan research organization.

In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, Border Patrol arrested 327,577 people trying to cross the southern U.S. border. Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials deported a record 396,906 people over the same period. That marks the first time in decades that formal removals from the U.S. outpaced arrests at the border.

The number of arrests of people trying to sneak across the border has been steadily declining since 2006, after an alltime high of more than 1.6 million apprehensions in 2000.

During those 10 years, more immigrants have become settled residents of the U.S. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, nearly two-thirds of the country’s estimated 10.2 million adult illegal immigrants have been living in the United States for at least 10 years. A decade ago, fewer than half had been in the U.S. that long.

“This is all part of a larger picture that we’re not seeing very many new undocumented immigrants coming in, so the share of new undocumented immigrants is smaller,” said Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center. “A lot of people are staying. They’ve put down roots.

There clearly hasn’t been a large scale departure of people who have been here a while.”

But politicians are still fighting over who is best equipped to secure the border.

Attempts to pass immigration reform legislation have repeatedly failed, with Republicans saying they won’t support any bill that provides a path to legalization for illegal immigrants who are here and won’t consider other reforms until the border is secure.

Some GOP presidential candidates, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have signed a pledge to build a fence along the length of the southern border — there is already more than 600 miles of towering steel fencing in place. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who does not support a border fence, has proposed adding to the 1,200 National Guard troops currently stationed along the border in a support role. Perry and Gingrich have both spoken of the need for “humanity” in dealing with illegal immigrants who are already here, and were both criticized by conservative Republicans.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said the border is more secure than ever before “and it is clear from every measure we currently have that this approach is working.”

But the weak U.S. economy and tough new immigration laws in states such as Alabama and Arizona likely play as much of a role in the drop in illegal crossings as increased security efforts, said Doris Meissner, former head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS TWINS TRADE RHP SLOWEY TO ROCKIES

DALLAS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have traded winless pitcher Kevin Slowey to the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named.

The deal was announced Tuesday during baseball’s winter meetings.

Slowey went 0-8 with a 6.67 ERA this year and was out from May to August because of an abdominal strain. He made eight starts and six relief appearances and the Twins went 0-14 in those games.

Slowey became the first major league pitcher to make at least eight starts and lose them all since Lou Sleater of the St. Louis Browns in 1951, STATS LLC said.

The 27-year-old Slowey is 39-29 with a 4.66 ERA in five seasons with the Twins.

He’s been one of the best control pitchers in the majors over that span.

Slowey has averaged just 1.42 walks per nine innings, the second-lowest rate in the majors since 2007. Roy Halladay is the only pitcher with a better mark at 1.41.

Slowey went 13-6 in 2010 when the Twins won their second straight AL Central title. Minnesota plummeted to last place this season and lost a league-high 99 games.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Nobody knows what will come of the Tim Tebow experiment, not even those scrambling ramblers who came before him.

Yet it seems like everybody wants to talk about it.

Retired QBs who made a living with their legs, and who also turned the NFL on its ear in their day, have strong opinions about what’s happening in Denver, where Tebow has led the once lowly Broncos to six wins in his seven starts.

Randall Cunningham loves it.

Steve Young hates it.

Bobby Douglass admires it.

While they debate whether Tebow can morph into a prototypical pocket passer, they’re all pulling hard for the Broncos’ quirky quarterback who defies his messy mechanics and flawed footwork with grit and lastminute magic.

“I think what we all ought to do is enjoy the circus while it’s in town,” suggests another former NFL quarterback, Joe Theismann.

Former QBs weigh in on Tebow Section

move his team downfield, he keeps coming up big in crunch time, guiding the Broncos to second-half comeback wins against the Dolphins, Jets, Raiders, Chargers and Vikings since taking over as the starter two months ago.

On Sunday, he won a shootout in Minnesota, propelling the Broncos (7-5) into a first-place tie with Oakland atop the AFC West.

“You’ve got Aaron Rodgers, you’ve got Drew Brees, you’ve got Tom Brady that set a standard of excellence in football that we haven’t seen,” said Theismann, now an NFL Network analyst. “What makes 2011 so unique is we have seen quarterback play in this league at such a high extreme and in Tim’s case, the bottom rung when it comes to completions.”

And yet the Broncos are also in the playoff hunt in this pass-happy league because of an old-fashioned formula based on stout defense and a strong ground game.

“That defense is as good as any in football right now,” Theismann said. “The offense doesn’t turn the ball over. There’s been one interception in seven games. I say this tongue-in-cheek: the way Tim throws the ball sometimes, nobody has a shot at getting it, his guy, the defenders. It’s either bounce it in the ground or throw it in the third row.”

Tebow is completing just 48 percent of his passes.

“And what’s his winning percentage?” retorts Cunningham.

It’s 85.7 percent, second only to Rodgers, whose Packers are perfect at 12-0.

Still, Broncos boss John Elway won’t pub-

Marlins offer Pujols 10-year contract

DALLAS (AP) — Jeffrey Loria quickly marched down the hallway with his team president, trailed by their top aides, and hustled into a meeting room with a labor lawyer from Major League Baseball.

Having already made the biggest splash at the winter meetings, the Miami Marlins owner was trying to reel in Albert Pujols and perhaps other big-name free agents with the newfound riches from their new ballpark.

“He’s not the only guy,” Loria said about 20 minutes later before heading back upstairs on an elevator with his delegation.

Baseball’s new Big Fish were the talk of the winter meetings Tuesday, with teams wondering how close the Marlins were to an agreement with Pujols on a deal that could be worth $200 million or more over 10 years for the three-time NL MVP. St. Louis said it submitted a new offer Tuesday to keep Pujols with the Cardinals, a team he’s already led to two World Series titles in the last six seasons.

Traditional big spenders such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were reduced to spectators.

“They have a new stadium. They’re excited about it, and it’s good for baseball,” former Marlins and current Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “They had hoped that they’d get the new stadium and they would be able to do those types of things. Our roster is pretty set. We have a lot of guys that are on long-term deals. That’s why maybe there’s not a lot happening for us.”

Having already reached deals with All-Star closer Heath Bell ($27 million for three years) and All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes ($106 million for six), the Marlins’ interest in Pujols is real. What’s unclear is whether the first baseman is prepared to go to Miami or whether his talks with the Marlins are an attempt to push the Cardinals higher.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Big East’s long-awaited additions are set, with more rebuilding to come.

The conference is preparing to announce the additions of Boise State and San Diego State as footballonly members and Houston, Central Florida and SMU for all sports as soon as Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The five schools will join in 2013.

The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because details were still being worked out with the schools and plans for an announcement were being completed.

The Big East has been trying to rebuild as a 12school football conference since Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced they would be moving to the ACC and West Virginia announced it was leaving for the Big 12. TCU also reneged on a commitment to join the Big East and instead accepted an invite to the Big 12.

The Star-Ledger in New Jersey first reported the Big East was on the verge of

making the additions.

The Big East has also been pursuing Navy and Air Force as football-only members, but the military academies are not yet ready to commit to the conference, the person said.

While the Big East is finally about to expand, it’s still very much a league in flux.

Commissioner John Marinatto has pledged to hold Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia to the league bylaws and keep the schools in the Big East for two more football seasons.

Syracuse, Pitt and the ACC have said they would like to move on as soon as possible, but are not challenging the Big East’s rules.

West Virginia is. The school has sued the Big East and wants to join the Big 12 in 2012. The Big 12 needs a replacement for Missouri, which next year is headed to the Southeastern Conference, to have the 10 members it needs to meet the conditions of its television contracts.

licly commit to Tebow for 2012 and beyond. Coach John Fox, who told NFL.com last month that Tebow would be “screwed” if they were running a conventional of fense, is living in the moment, not focused on the future.

“The guy wins, how can you not be a fan of that?” Fox said. “He does it with his feet, with his arm, just with his competitive greatness, really. That’s what you’re looking for in a quarterback.”

The Broncos have decided not to try to fix Tebow’s throwing troubles now but try to accentuate what he already does well, which is running a ball-control, low-risk, no-frills offense heavy on the option while sprinkling in some downfield passes.

“He’s in a sweet spot right now,” said Young, “but I don’t know if it’s developing him to go do it long-term in the NFL.” Tebow is coming off his best passing performance as a pro — 10 of 15 for 202 yards and two TDs — but Young would like to see him sling it 20-25 times every Sunday.

“I learned the hard way what the job in the NFL was,” said Young, who came into the league as a scrambler and left as a pocket passer with a championship and a ticket to the Hall of Fame. “I didn’t know what that job was and it wasn’t natural to me and I like to just run around and make plays.

“But it’s not championship football. It can be winning football, but it’s not championship football,” Young said.

Boys basketball Hagerman 52, NMMI 48 HAGERMAN — The Hagerman boys basketball team pulled away in the third quarter and survived a comeback attempt in the fourth to pick up a win over NMMI, Tuesday.

After Hagerman jumped out to a 19-12 lead through one, NMMI closed to within three by the break. Hagerman won the third 15-7 and then held off the Colts in the fourth.

Anthony Olivas led all scorers with 16 for the Bobcats, while Alejandro Ramos added 15 and Jessie Rodriguez poured in 10.

For NMMI, Justin Petross had 11 and Stephen Powers had nine.

“It was a good game overall,” said Bobcat coach Anthony Mestas. “We just executed with making free throws there at the end. We had some young guys step up and play, which is great for us.”

Girls basketball Hagerman 49, NMMI 38 HAGERMAN — The Bobcats got double-digit performances from Jessica Rodriguez, Lori Gosset and Taylor Hamill en route to their second win of the year over NMMI, Tuesday.

Rodriguez led Hagerman (2-2) with 14 points, while Gosset added 13 and Hamill chipped in 12.

Caitlin Duree led the Colts (3-2) with 26.

“We were much better on defense. We’re starting to get together and starting to jell a little bit,” said Hagerman coach Justin Gossett. “We struggled to stop (Duree). She sat out a quarter and still got 26 on us. But, overall, the defense is improving and our shot selection is getting a little better.”

SPORTS “And so I had to learn the job, and the job is a Ph.D. in studying defenses and the ability — and some of it’s natural — to deliver the football.”

There’s the rub. Does Tebow really need to be a great passer?

“My first year, I was no more accurate than he was,” said Cunningham, who was a 42-percent passer as a rookie but finished his career at 56.6 percent and was one of the most exciting players of his day.

Young worries that the option offense is stunting Tebow’s growth.

“We really haven’t learned anything,” Young said. “We knew he was good at that.”

Young said he fears the Broncos will head into the offseason still clueless as to whether Tebow can really throw the ball and thus they’ll decide to draft another quarterback, “and then I’m going to say, ‘Well, why didn’t we spend that time last year see if he could really do this job?”’

The answer to that question: Because he’s winning. So says Douglass, the Bears’ scrambling quarterback from 1969-75 who was a career 43 percent passer.

Cunningham, who spent 16 seasons in the NFL, said the results speak for themselves.

“The bottom line is the man wins games. I’m probably his biggest fan,” Cunningham said. “When I look at him, I see a large Michael Vick. People tell T im what he can’t do; he defies the odds. He doesn’t do it in a way that everybody else does it. He doesn’t do it like Tom Brady or my man Drew Brees.

But let me tell you something, at the end of the game, it’s always exciting and he comes out ahead.”

tions in 1967 and ’68 and his 16 picks still stands as the Georgia record. He went on to a stellar nineyear NFL career with Miami and Washington. He was the MVP of the 1973 Super Bowl, which wrapped up the Dolphins’ perfect season.

Mandich, a College Hall of Famer from Michigan, was a tight end on those Dolphins’ teams and Scott’s roommate. He was in the hospital dying of cancer earlier this year when he called Scott and made a request.

“He was going down for the count with cancer, and he said, ‘Would you do me a favor?’ And I said, ‘Jim, I’ll do anything you want me to do.’ He says, ‘If you get in the College Hall of Fame, will you attend?’ And I said, ‘yes, I’ll do anything for you.’

“I thought it was going to be something simple,” Scott said with a chuckle.

Colt coach Marisha Olesinski said that getting into foul trouble is what hurt her team the most in the loss.

“The foul trouble for Caitlin, when she got her fourth foul in the beginning of the second quarter, that just set the tone for the whole game,” she said. “We got in foul trouble and we just couldn’t play the game we should play.”

Games postponed Several area games were postponed on Tuesday because of the weather.

The Goddard girls basketball game against Alamogordo was postponed to Dec. 20.

The other games that were postponed were NMMI JC at Trinidad State, Portales at Roswell (boys), Cloudcroft at Gateway Christian (boys) and Cloudcroft at Gateway Christian (girls). No makeup dates have been announced for those games.

AP Source: Magic CEO Vander Weide stepping down

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with the decision says Bob Vander Weide is retiring as Orlando Magic chief executive officer and team president Alex Martins is being promoted to his position.

The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the Magic have not announced the moves. The team has scheduled a Wednesday press conference.

Vander Weide, the 52-year-old son-inlaw of team owner Rich DeVos, became CEO in 2010 after serving as team president beginning in 1994. He originally began his

I think that is as good of a job for a commissioner with his back against the wall as I’ve seen since I’ve been in athletics. The teams you lost aren’t as good in football as the teams you’re bringing in.”

The Big East is in an even trickier situation. It has contract requirements to meet next season, as well, plus it will begin negotiating a new TV deal in 2012.

Houston, SMU and UCF play in Conference USA and the notification date for those schools to switch leagues next year has passed. Boise State is in its

Keller wins pick ‘em contest

Daily Record Sports Editor Kevin J. Keller wrapped up his second straight Pigskin Prognostications title on Saturday, edging KEND broadcaster and Roswell girls basketball coach Joe Carpenter by one game in the standings. Keller and Carpenter shared the title in 2010. Keller finished the season 84-15 after a 2-2 record in Week 15 and Carpenter finished 83-16 after a 2-2 record in the final week. NMMI assistant golf professional Randy Doerhoefer was third at 78-21, Daily Record Assistant Sports Editor Lawrence Foster and NMMI Sports Information Director Geoff Gunn tied for fourth at 77-22 and Character Counts! Executive Director Tim Fuller was sixth at 75-24. (Cartoon by Keith Bell) first season as a member of the Mountain West Conference, where San Diego State also competes.

CBSSports.com reported Boise State will place its other sports teams in the Western Athletic Conference, a league it left after last season, and that San Diego State’s other teams will compete in the Big West.

It would cost Boise State and San Diego State millions of dollars more to join the Big East in 2012 than in 2013.

So the Big East could be headed into next season with three lame duck teams. And even with the upcoming additions, it still does not have 12 teams committed to the league for 2013.

The Big East eventually wants to have two divisions of six teams and be able to hold a conference title game.

McIlroy, Westwood welcome Tiger’s big win

forward and trying to do everything that they can to make this possible,” new Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, “but I also know it’s a complicated decision on both sides.

There’s a lot going on, a lot that I’m not even involved in, but I think it’s clear to say that St. Louis Cardinals would love to have Albert, and we’ll see how it all plays out.”

Prince Fielder was still in play in the hitters’ market, and C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle were among the available starting pitchers on the second day of the four -day swap session, which has been relatively slow.

The Chicago White Sox traded closer Sergio Santos to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitching prospect Nestor ishing the chance to face him again.

Woods won the Chevron World Challenge on Sunday, ending a two-year title drought that began shortly after his personal life imploded.

“It’s something I look forward to,” said Rory McIlroy, the U.S. Open champion who has moved up to No. 2 in the world and is playing at this week’s Dubai Championship. “(Playing against Tiger) would be a huge experience and a huge learning curve for me just to see how I would handle it.

“But it’s not something I have experienced and it’s not something that a lot of players in my sort of generation have experienced yet.”

Before Sunday’s victory, Woods had last won on Nov. 15, 2009, at the Australian Masters — a 26-tournament drought.

But that win moved Woods from No. 52 to No. 21 in the rankings. Unlike a year ago when he blew a four-shot lead in the final round at Sherwood Country Club to lose in a playoff to Graeme McDowell, Woods this time made his clutch putts on Sunday and came from two-shots back to beat former Masters champion Zach Johnson.

It was a performance that seemed to show that his recent success in Australia was no fluke. He showed signs of coming back with nine solid rounds in the wind in Australia, finishing third at the Australian Open and delivering the clinching point for the Americans in the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne.

“With Tiger, obviously it’s nice for him, I think, that he could win again,” fourth-ranked Martin Kaymer said. “It’s good for us. He did a lot for the sport and the status that golf has in the world.

“It would be nice to play against the best player whoever played the game in their top form and see if you can beat them.”

B4 Wednesday, December 7, 2011 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: When I married my husband, “Mason,” 30 years ago, I was the only girl he could get.

He was a great catch by my standards — and still is. But back then nobody else wanted him but me, which was fine with me. I don’t like competition.

We have had a great life together up until the last 10 years or so. Mason is aging gracefully, and there’s something about him now that every woman is suddenly interested

in. They all treat him like he’s a new toy. They fawn over him and I become invisible.

We don’t get out much, and I used to think I wanted to go out more — but now I just want to stay home and hide my husband inside. The real problem is, Mason loves the attention. It could be what he always wanted. I don’t know how to handle this without getting my feelings hurt, pouting and being incredibly jealous.

He gives me no reason to think he’ll be unfaithful, but I can’t help but worry. Help!

WIFE OF A LATE BLOOMER

DEAR WIFE: Congratulations. You are now a member of a “club” comprised of spouses living in the shadows of actors, politicians, moguls, etc. However, your self-esteem issues could create real problems for you and your husband if you don’t learn to deal with them.

You weren’t the “only woman Mason could get” — you’re the woman Mason CHOSE to spend his life with. The sooner you accept that, the better off both of you will be. If you can’t do it on your own, counseling could help because hiding is not the answer.

DEAR ABBY; My son and daughter-in-law live like pigs. Neither one of them was raised that way.

They live in a beautiful home that literally smells like a litter box. I would look the other way or not visit, but now they have four children.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Heloise: When planning holiday meals where the main course is a turkey, I always make sure to buy celery, carrots, onions and cheesecloth for the day after the meal so I can make TURKEY STOCK. I strip the meat off the bones and place them in a large container with the juice from the turkey pan and a little meat. I store this in the refrigerator until the following morning, then fill a large stockpot with water and add the turkey, cut-up celery, carrots and onions, poultry seasoning and some salt and pepper.

I place the lid on the pot and bring the ingredients to a boil. I let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for the next six to eight hours.

The water will turn to a thick, golden-colored liquid when done.

I strain out the bones, meat and vegetables with a slotted spoon until the biggest pieces are gone from the liquid. Then I line a strainer with cheesecloth and pour out the remaining liquid until there is nothing but the liquid stock remaining. I season to taste and store in glass canning jars in the freezer or refrigerator to use as needed. I can add my favorite noodles and cutup vegetables for a quick, hearty soup on a cold day.

Dear Heloise: I have drawers in my kitchen, and one contains pots and pans.

When my nonstick frying pans are nested in the drawer, they get “scuffed” and lose the nonstick surface. I also have a collection of seasonal and holiday hot pads. I layer them between the frying pans, and problem solved. They keep the pans from getting scratched, and the hot pads also are handy when I need an extra one.

The recipe makes more than we can eat at one time, so freezing those left over works well.

To reheat them from the freezer, I first put them in the microwave for a minute and a half. Then I pop them in the toaster, and they come out hot, fresh and crisp, as if they were just made!

Hanukkah Begins Dec. 20

A Festival of Lights Observing the Sabbath

At sunset on Tuesday, Dec. 20, Jewish people around the world will begin the eight-day celebration of Hanukkah (HAHN-uh-kuh). This week, The Mini Page learns more about this special holiday and the faith of the Jewish people.

What do Jews believe?

photo Š Leonid Spektor/Dreamstime.com

Jewish people practice a religious faith called Judaism (JU-dah-ism).

They believe in one god who created the universe and controls nature.

Jews also believe that their god chose them especially to receive his message. For example, God sent his message about the Ten Commandments through Moses.

The word “Jew� comes from Judah, the name of an ancient land where modern Jerusalem is located. The people who lived there later moved into many different areas, including Europe and eventually the Americas.

Today, “Jew� describes a person who follows the Jewish religion or comes from a Jewish background.

In most synagogues, a special cabinet holds the scrolls of the Torah. The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament. Jews believe that the Torah teaches them how to uphold the law as commanded by God.

Where do Jews worship?

Jewish people go to a synagogue (SIN-a-gog) for prayer services led by a rabbi (RAB-eye) and a cantor, a special religious singer. “Synagogue� comes from a Greek word meaning “assembly.�

In ancient times, only rich people were allowed to have leisure time. The idea of taking a day off from work was hard for other cultures to accept. But Jewish people saw the Sabbath as a gift from God. Observing Sabbath is based on the Fourth Commandment, which says, â€œâ€Ś the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord, and that day you shall not work ‌â€?

Today, many Jewish people observe the Sabbath. It begins at sunset on Friday evening and continues through sundown on Saturday.

On Friday night, families may go to the synagogue for a prayer service and then return home for an evening meal.

The food may be cooked Traditionally, challah in advance, because cooking is bread is served at a considered work. Sabbath meal.

The family returns to the synagogue on Saturday morning for prayer, followed by another meal. Then they might take a walk or a nap, or play a game.

After nightfall on Saturday, when three stars are visible, the family says final blessings.

If you’ve been to a Jewish friend’s house, you may have seen a small case attached to the right side of the doorway. Some Jews touch this symbol each time they enter the home.

A mezuzah MEH :// ZUH IS A CASE FOR A TINY SCROLL h-EZUZAHv IS the Hebrew word for “doorpost.�)

On the scroll, two passages from the Hebrew Bible are printed. The passages remind people to keep God’s words in mind. The scroll is then rolled up and placed in the case. )N MOST DOORWAYS THE MEZUZAH is placed at an angle. Early rabbis couldn’t agree on whether it should BE HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL SO THEY compromised, or agreed, to place it at an angle.

Many people think of this symbol, also called the Star of David, when The Shield of David they think about is seen today on the State of Israel’s flag. the Jewish religion. But it became a symbol of Judaism only about 650 years ago, when the emperor of Prague let the Jews living there choose their own flag. They chose the double triangle.

In the early 1900s, the star became a common symbol of Jews.

Yarmulke

Bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah

Have you ever seen Jewish men or boys wearing a small skullcap? This is called a yarmulke (YAR-muhlkuh).

Early rabbis believed that they should always cover their heads because God was above them. This practice spread to other Jews. Today, men may wear a yarmulke all the time, or only during prayer services.

Happy Hanukkah!

The Hanukkah story

Menorah

In ancient Israel, a king named Antiochus (an-TIE-uh-kuss) tried to make all the people in his kingdom adopt one religion. He dishonored the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and said they could not practice their religion.

People in the area, led by Judah Maccabee, revolted, or rose up against Antiochus. They won their religious freedom and later rededicated, or blessed, their temple. (“Hanukkah� means “to dedicate.�)

Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration when Jewish people remember their struggle and their victory against Antiochus.

During Hanukkah, Jews light candles in a special candelabra called a menorah (mehNOR-uh) that holds nine candles.

On each of the eight nights of Hanukkah, another candle is lighted.

7HEN ANCIENT *EWS WERE rededicating their temple, they could find enough oil to burn in the menorah for only one night.

However, that small amount of oil kept burning for eight days and nights. The menorah lighting tradition is in honor of the miracle of the oil.

Jewish people light one more candle every night and say prayers.

They use the middle, or shamash, candle to light the others.

The dreidel (DRAY-duhl) is a special toy top that Jewish children play with. It has four sides with the Hebrew symbols for the words meaning, “A great miracle happened there.� In Israel, dreidels read, “A great miracle happened here.�

The dreidel goes back to ancient times when Jews could not worship as they wanted. They would meet in secret, and someone would read the service. If an enemy came near, they would get out a dreidel and start playing. This way the enemy soldiers didn’t know what the Jews were doing.

Gelt and gifts Jewish boys and girls may receive gelt, or money, during Hanukkah.

Sometimes this is chocolate candy coins.

They may also receive gifts. Some get gifts on only one night, and others get one gift every night.

Other Jewish holidays s 9OM +IPPUR For Jews, the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur (yohm kih-POOR), is probably the most important holiday of the year. On this day, after 40 days of thinking, Jewish people atone, or make up, for the bad things they’ve done over the past year.

On Yom Kippur, Jews do not work.

They fast, or don’t eat, beginning before sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and continuing until after nightfall on the holiday.

Most of the day is spent at the synagogue in prayer. This special day usually falls in September or October. s 2OSH (ASHANAH Also in the autumn, Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah, which is also called the Jewish New Year. On these two days, Jews look back at the previous year and make resolutions, or promises, to live a better life. s Pesach (Passover) Pesach (PAY-sock), or Passover, is another important holiday for Jews.

It is a celebration of the ancient Israelites being freed from slavery in Egypt. It lasts seven or eight days and usually falls in March or April.

Jewish families traditionally share a special dinner called a seder (SAYduhr) on the first night of Passover. (“Seder� means “order�; the meal includes specific rituals and the order in which they must occur.)

Review: ‘New Year’s Eve’ drops the ball Roswell Daily Record

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

JAKE COYLE AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

“New Year’s Eve” is the second in a remarkably shallow series of holiday-themed, celebrity-stuffed confections from director Garry Marshall and screenwriter Katherine Fugate, following their 2010 “Valentine’s Day” collaboration. Of course, the really good stuff will come once they get to “Columbus Day,” or maybe, just maybe, “Ash Wednesday.”

Many of the elements are the same as they were for “Valentine’s Day,” just moved back on the calendar a few weeks, with the script again weaving together a dozen or so plot lines that crisscross a holiday prone to sentimentalizing.

If there is some kind of world record for schmaltz, this may have set it. Included here are first kisses, midnight rendezvous, dying fathers, newborn babies, husbands at war and trapped strangers. It’s narcotic mawkishness, with notes played on heartstrings like a 12-string guitar.

Though it’s pure, rosy fantasy on screen, this is cynical, paintby-the-numbers entertainment, sold with a gaggle of stars spread across its movie poster like a telethon lineup.

The threads of romance emanate from — where else? — New York’s Times Square. Hilary Swank plays a character running the ball drop festivities, at which a famous rocker (Jon Bon Jovi as “Jensen”) is to per for m, and where various police keep watch, including one played by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.

Some of the footage from these scenes came from last year’s New Year’s in Times Square shot by cinematographer Charles Minsky.

This, surely, is the film’s biggest accomplishment: The atmosphere is very true to the Times Square celebration.

Katherine Heigl plays a chef catering a pre-party featuring Jensen, who happens to be her ex-boyfriend. Her sous chef is Sofia Vergara of “Modern Family.”

In this film image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Katherine Heigl, left, and Jon Bon Jovi are shown in a scene from "New Year's Eve." Abigail Breslin, now a teenager, is hoping to join her friends in Times Square, but her mother (Sarah Jessica Parker) won’t let her. Jessica Biel, with husband Seth Meyers, is going into labor, competing for the new year’s first baby against a rival couple (Sarah Paulson, Til Schweiger).

Michelle Pfeiffer plays a meek office assistant who quits her job (John Lithgow plays her recordlabel executive boss, a good bit of casting that should have spawned laughs) and hires a courier (an ultra-confident Zac Efron) to help her accomplish a list of resolutions.

Ashton Kutcher, as a bearded grouch, gets stuck in an elevator for hours with backup singer Lea Michele. (I crossed my fingers that bathroom needs would spoil their budding romance, but alas.)

Most incredulous, perhaps, is the pairing of nurse Halle Berry and dying Vietnam veteran Robert De Niro.

En route to love and new beginnings, the many characters run around familiar New York tourist attractions and pair of f predictably.

Editor Michael T ronick deserves credit for stitching all of these corny story lines together

smoothly. None of the characters are more than cardboard cliches, but the cast is likable and pretty enough (there are some rom-com pros here, including Heigl and Josh Duhamel) that most are able to swallow the pallid dialogue without causing inadvertent laughs.

The cameos keep coming until the end, with even Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropping by. After all, this is as much an ad for New York as it is a movie. And I’m pretty sure I spotted Knick Amare Stoudemire as the credits rolled.

Obviously, the NBA lockout was very hard on players.

And it’s during these lighthearted extras and outtakes at the end of “New Year’s Eve” where the first and only honest moment of the film occurs. Carla Gugino, who plays the OB/GYN delivering the expected babies, hints at the crassness of the enterprise. In a gag, she emerges from between Biel’s legs with not a child, but “Valentine’s Day” DVDs. Congratulations. It’s dreck.

“New Year’s Eve,” a War ner Bros. Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for language, including some sexual references. Running time: 117 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Review: ‘Young Adult’ dares you to like it

CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

Gorgeous but damaged, conceited yet self-loathing, Charlize Theron dares you to like her in “Young Adult” — and the movie itself dares you to stick with an anti-heroine who makes no apologies for her deplorable behavior.

It’s an exciting thing to see, this willful rejection of tidy character arcs and happy endings, and it actually makes you wish “Young Adult” had been even further fleshed out and gone on a little longer. This is not something we say about a movie very often.

In reteaming with “Juno” director Jason Reitman, screenwriter Diablo Cody dials down the snark that marked the Oscar-winning script that made her a superstar in her own right. She’s actually created the antiJuno in a lot of ways while managing to retain much of the directness, the sharplydrawn characters and the casual poignancy that are her signatures.

Theron’s Mavis Gary is as verbal as Juno MacGuff was, but rather than finding the perfect, clever quip at all times, she usually manages to say the rudest, most inappropriate thing. Rather than being mature and wise beyond her years, she’s in a state of arrested development, emotionally stuck at the place where she peaked: high school.

Where she was the prom queen, naturally.

Theron continues to show her versatility, hurling herself headlong into this unhinged character. There are shadings of Nicole Kidman in “To Die For” here; she’ll make you squirm, but she may make you feel a little sorry for her, too.

AP Photo

In this image released by Paramount Pictures, Patton Oswalt portrays Matt Freehauf, left, and Collette Wolfe portrays Sandra Freehauf in a scene from "Young Adult."

Externally, Mavis hasn’t changed a bit since her glory days; she’s still the statuesque blonde everyone worshipped and feared. But inside, she’s a disaster.

Divorced, she lives in a messy Minneapolis high-rise apartment with her neglected Pomeranian and writes a series of teen lit books called “Waverley Prep,” clearly modeled after the revered “Sweet Valley High,” which Cody herself has been working on turning into a film. The gig is about to end and Mavis is having trouble writing the final installment, especially since she wakes up hung over every morning.

One day, she finds unexpected inspiration in a forwarded email. Seems her high-

school sweetheart, football player Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson), and his wife, fellow classmate Beth (Elizabeth Reaser), have announced the arrival of their baby girl.

Mavis becomes obsessed with the notion that she and Buddy are meant to be together after all these years and returns home to pry him away from his family.

In the vein of Alexander Payne, Reitman finds just the right affectionately mocking tone in taking some jabs at small-town Midwestern life. Mercury, Minn., is full of awfully decent folks who seem content with their quiet lives, their fast-food chains, their mediocre sports bar. The bland Buddy is one of them, but nostalgia is a powerful

thing, so Mavis still views him as a golden god — and the key to her happiness. Wilson plays on his “prom king” persona from “Little Children,” but with a twist: he’s a little scruffy, a little paunchy, something we can see clearly but Mavis can’t through her haze of delusion and bourbon.

The other figure from high school who has an impact on her during her visit is the nerdy, tubby Matt Freehauf (Patton Oswalt), who dwelled on the opposite end of the social spectrum and, like Mavis, remains trapped there physically and emotionally.

Matt suffered serious injuries back then when the jocks tried to gay-bash him (he’s actually straight); 20 years later, when Mavis runs into him at a bar, she still refers to him as “the hate-crime guy.” But he ends up calling her on her cruelty, her insanity, and the two form an unlikely bond in just a brief time.

Oswalt may be best known for his standup comedy and his voice work in “Ratatouille,” but he’s excellent here in a more dramatic role, as he was in the little-seen indie “Big Fan”. He’s the heart of the film, the anchor, the voice of reason, but there’s nothing smug or self-righteous about him.

Matt is as stunted as Mavis is, which Oswalt conveys in subtle, heartbreaking ways that always ring true.

You come to care about his character so much, you’d like to see more of a resolution for him than “Young Adult” provides — perhaps not a happy ending, which is fine, but at least another chapter.

“Young Adult,” a Paramount Pictures release, is rated R for language and some sexual content. Running time: 94 minutes.

Three stars out of four.

Police: Ex-Miss USA was above legal alcohol limit

Rima Fakih

DETROIT (AP) — Former Miss USA Rima Fakih was driving with a half-empty bottle of champagne and a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when she was arrested on a drunken driving charge in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park, according to a police report released Tuesday.

The report obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act request says the 26-year-old from Dearborn was pulled over early Saturday going 60 mph, weaving in heavy traffic and changing lanes without using a turn sig-

nal.

A police officer whose name was given only as R. Kalis said the traffic stop happened about 2:15 a.m.

The report says she was driving a black 2011 Jaguar.

Kalis reported when he asked for the driver’s license the “driver immediately identified herself as Miss USA and stated that she was driving a friend’s car.”

Kalis said Fakih “appeared disoriented and had very slurred speech while fumbling for her purse.” Kalis asked Fakih if she had been drinking, and she said, “No, not at

all.”

In the report, officers said they found an open and half-empty bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne on the floorboard behind the driver’s seat.

“I swear, I didn’t know it was open,” Fakih told Kalis, according to the report.

Two breath tests showed a 0.19 percent and a 0.20 percent blood-alcohol level. Michigan law defines drunkenness at a level of 0.08 percent.

The report said Fakih was handcuffed and taken to a police station. It said she was placed in a cell “until she was sober for

her safety and the safety of others.”

Police said they seized Fakih’s driver’s license and issued her a temporary license. She was ordered to report to court within 10 days. Besides drunken driving, Fakih also faces charges of possessing an open intoxicant in a motor vehicle and careless driving.

Phone and email messages seeking comment were left Tuesday for Fakih’s lawyer, Doraid Elder. Email messages also were left for Fakih on Monday and Tuesday.

The former Miss Michigan, born in Lebanon, won

the Miss USA Pageant in 2010 and her reign ended earlier this year.

She won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010. Her reign ended June 19, 2011. She was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993 and the first Arab American winner ever.

While still holding the Miss USA title, Fakih became a contestant on the USA Network’s “WWE Tough Enough” show. The show started with 12 men and women competing to be professional wrestlers.

Fakih was voted off the show in the episode broadcast April 25.
