Rep under fire for calling gov ‘Mexican’

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Democratic state representative is under fire for calling Gov. Susana Martinez a “Mexican” during a heated exchange with a GOP lawmaker in the capitol.

Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton made the comment Wednesday during a committee meeting break as she accused Rep. Nora

The state’s Republican Party immediately jumped on Stapleton’s remarks and demanded that she step down from her position as House Majority Whip.

Stapleton later apologized and said she didn’t

mean to of fend anyone.

Espinoza said she was offended by the remark as a Hispanic woman, and Martinez called the comments “sad and disappoint-

ing.”

The Texas-born Martinez, whose grandparents are from Mexico, is the first Latina elected governor in the nation’s history.

The ter m “Mexican” is offensive to many MexicanAmericans and Latinos because it is regularly used racially to lump all Latinos into the same category regardless of birth, immi-

gration status or even ethnicity.

“Often times someone can make a racist statement and hide behind the term ‘Mexican,”’ said Cynthia V. Duarte, a University of Notre Dame sociologist who studies multigenerational U.S. Latinos.

The Southeastern New Mexico Economic Development District, Council of Government, Mayor’s Summit was held at the Roswell Museum and Art Center on Thursday. Topics under discussion were what the next legislative session will hold and water issues.

The meeting was attended by mayors from Eunice, Hobbs, Cloudcroft, Artesia, Dexter. Ruidoso Downs and Capitan, along with county personnel from Lincoln, Eddy and Lea counties.

In his welcoming remarks, Roswell Mayor Del Jurney noted, “This is not a just about how to grow a community, but also a region and a state.”

Phil Burch, president of the SNMEDD, invited the participants in the Summit to talk to the legislators.

Senate Minority Whip Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, spoke first, giving a report of what will be happening during the next 30-day legislative session. The primary subject facing the Legislature is finance.

“Education issues will be coming before the legislature ... the entire state budget is less than $1 billion.”

He noted that “money doesn’t always fix everything.” He said that parents had to take on responsibilities for their children’s education. “Parents have a huge obligation to say to their children, ‘read some-

thing to me,’ and to help them with their homework.”

He said, “Highway funding is short.” Ingle quipped that, for now, he represented people of the region, but after redistricting who knows.

water, drought issues JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Water and the drought are among the most difficult issues faced by the state of New Mexico and the Southeastern region, according the people attending the Mayor’s Summit and the Roswell Museum and Art Center, Thursday.

Phelps Anderson, New Mexico Interstate Streams Commissioner, summarized the problems as two-fold. “It is a serious subject. First and foremost, we have water and we have fire.

We can’t do fire protection without water.”

He noted that opinions may vary according to community and region.

“We need to be alert. Rio

Grande issues can overshadow other programs.

People say we need to throw out the water laws which are outdated.”

However, Anderson didn’t agree. Instead, he asked for input from the communities. “We need you to generate a statement from your area.”

Scott Verhines, native of Roswell and New Mexico state engineer designate, emphasized that the issue was broad in scope. “My first impression is that everywhere you go in New Mexico the issues are unique.

Issues on the Rio Grande are dif ferent from the issues on the Pecos.”

edging toward recovery

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The West is recovering faster than the nation as a whole, but employment across the region remained far below pre-recession levels and the housing market showed few signs of improvement, according to an economic report released Thursday.

The report prepared by Brookings Mountain West researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas focused on economic growth in 10 metropolitan areas spread across Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Idaho.

Overall, the region saw a modest 0.3 percent growth in employment in the quarter ending in September, compared to the national

rate of 0.1 percent, the study found. Utah, Colorado and New Mexico — states that have built broad economic bases — struggled the least, researchers said. In Arizona and Nevada, the housing collapse continued to limit job growth.

In all, every metropolitan area lagged behind prerecession employment levels, with Phoenix and Las Vegas experiencing the sharpest differences. Job levels languished 10.8 and 13.4 percent below their respective pre-recession peaks.

Still, there was enough employment growth in the past year to drive down the See ECONOMY, Page A3

GENERAL

Half of all Americans are poor or low-income

WASHINGTON (AP) — Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income.

The latest census data depict a middle class that’s shrinking as unemployment stays high and the gover nment’s safety net frays. The new numbers follow years of stagnating wages for the middle class that have hurt millions of workers and families.

“Safety net programs such as food stamps and tax credits kept poverty from rising even higher in 2010, but for many lowincome families with workrelated and medical expenses, they are considered too ‘rich’ to qualify,” said Sheldon Danziger, a University of Michigan public policy professor who specializes in poverty.

“The reality is that prospects for the poor and the near poor are dismal,” he said. “If Congress and the states make further

cuts, we can expect the number of poor and lowincome families to rise for the next several years.”

Congressional Republicans and Democrats are sparring over legislation that would renew a Social Security payroll tax reduction, part of a year -end political showdown over economic priorities that could also trim unemployment benefits, freeze federal pay and reduce entitlement spending.

Robert Rector, a senior research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, questioned whether some people classified as poor or low-income actually suffer material hardship.

He said that while safetynet programs have helped many Americans, they have gone too far. He said some people described as poor live in decent-size homes, drive cars and own widescreen TVs. “There’s no doubt the recession has thrown a lot of people out of work and incomes have fallen,” Rector said. “As we come out of

recession, it will be important that these programs promote self-sufficiency rather than dependence and encourage people to look for work.”

Many formerly middleclass Americans are dropping below the low-income threshold — roughly $45,000 for a family of four — because of pay cuts, a forced reduction of work hours or a spouse losing a job.

States in the South and West had the highest shares of low-income families, including Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina, which have scaled back or eliminated aid programs for the needy. By raw numbers, such families were most numerous in California and Texas, each with more than 1 million.

The struggling Americans include Zenobia Bechtol, 18, in Austin, Texas, who earns minimum wage as a part-time pizza delivery driver. Bechtol and her 7month-old baby were recently evicted from their bedbug-infested apartment

Vaughan to plead guilty ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A for mer Albuquerque real estate executive will plead guilty next week to charges stemming from allegations that he ran a multi-state Ponzi scheme that swindled hundreds of investors out of $74 million, his attorney confirmed Thursday.

Court records show a hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday in Santa Fe for a plea change in the criminal case against Doug Vaughan. He’s the only defendant and previously pleaded not guilty.

Vaughan’s attor ney, Amy Sirignano, told The Associated Press in an email that her client would be pleading guilty but that she was traveling and would not be able to speak further about the case or details of the plea until Friday.

The notice for the hearing comes just a few weeks after court documents were unsealed showing Vaughan’s long-

time assistant, Martha Runkle, had reached an agreement with prosecutors and planned to testify against him.

Vaughan faces a 30count indictment on charges ranging from wire and mail fraud to money laundering related to the alleged scheme. Prosecutors have said there were more than 600 victims of the scheme.

While most of the investors were from New Mexico, alleged victims have been identified in Arizona, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, Texas and Colorado.

According to court records, Vaughan’s chief assistant, Martha Runkle, reached a plea agreement earlier this year to testify that Vaughan ran an investment scheme in which money put up by later investors was used to pay false profits to earlier ones.

The scheme involved people loaning money to Vaughan in exchange for

promissory notes that carried high interest rates and were issued through his now-defunct Vaughan Company Realtors.

The loans were supposed to be used for real estate investments that apparently were never made. When the scheme collapsed, Vaughan and his company filed petitions for bankruptcy court protection in February 2010.

Federal prosecutors allege Runkle was the last point of contact for many investors as Vaughan’s scheme collapsed. Runkle acknowledges her role as Vaughan’s chief assistant for 17 years.

According to her plea deal, Runkle said she witnessed the promissory note scheme “growing at an enor mous rate.” All that time, she says she worked under Vaughan’s direction in administering it.

after her boyfriend, an electrician, lost his job in the sluggish economy.

After an 18-month job search, Bechtol’s boyfriend now works as a waiter and the family of three is temporarily living with her mother.

“We’re paying my mom $200 a month for rent, and after diapers and formula and gas for work, we barely have enough money to spend,” said Bechtol, a high school graduate who wants to go to college. “If it weren’t for food stamps and other government money for families who need help, we wouldn’t have been able to survive.”

About 97.3 million Americans fall into a low-income category, commonly defined as those earning between 100 and 199 percent of the poverty level, based on a new supplemental measure

by the Census Bureau that is designed to provide a fuller picture of poverty. Together with the 49.1 million who fall below the poverty line and are counted as poor, they number 146.4 million, or 48 percent of the U.S. population. That’s up by 4 million from 2009, the earliest numbers for the newly developed poverty measure.

The new measure of poverty takes into account medical, commuting and other living costs as well as taxes.

Doing that pushed the number of people below 200 percent of the poverty level up from the 104 million, or 1 in 3 Americans, that was officially reported in September.

Broken down by age, children were most likely to be poor or low-income

— about 57 percent — followed by seniors 65 a n d o v e r. B y r a c e a n d ethnicity, Hispanics topped the list at 73 percent, followed by blacks, Asians and non-Hispanic whites.

Even by traditional measures, many working families are hurting.

Following the recession that began in late 2007, the share of working families who are low income has risen for three straight years to 31.2 percent, or 10.2 million. That proportion is the highest in at least a decade, up from 27 percent in 2002, according to a new analysis by the Working Poor Families Project and the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit research group based in Washington.

argument between the two lawmakers that stemmed from Espinoza’s criticism of Stapleton for collecting a lucrative administrator salary with Albuquerque Public Schools while also getting daily pay in the New Mexico Legislature.

Stapleton, an Albuquerque Democrat, said that the criticism was set up by the governor’s office because she opposed many of gover nor’s education reform efforts. “You’re carrying the Mexican’s water on the fourth floor,” Stapleton was heard yelling at Espinoza.

“Why that comment?

That comment was uncalled for,” Espinoza told KRQE-TV. “I was surprised and shocked that she even made the comment.”

where people would have a voice and if not that, then convene small groups of interested parties.

Verhines said one of his first priorities was to monitor the drought conditions and water usage throughout the state.

“Las Vegas is in dire straits.” The city has fewer than 40 days of water left.

Verhines asked each of the mayors attending how they dealt with water issues.

Roswell Mayor Del Jurney said, “As a community of Roswell, we aren’t in the same position of other places if we don’t get annual rains. Back in the 1940s the city purchased Artesian Water Rights.

Our position, as needs expand, is to be good stewards.”

unemployment rate in every major metropolitan area singled out by the report. Utah and New Mexico had the lowest unemployment rates, while Las Vegas had the highest at 13.6 percent.

Leading the recovery were Utah’s Ogden and Provo, Albuquerque in New Mexico, and Phoenix. Boise and Las Vegas showed modest signs, but Tucson, Ariz., and Colorado Springs were still struggling, according to the report.

Ogden and Provo saw employment rise by 1.5 percent, and Idaho’s Boise saw a 1 percent increase in jobs.

Employment grew by less than 1 percent in Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City and Tucson.

Among the areas that faced a difficult quarter, such as Denver and Albuquerque, job growth in Las Vegas stagnated — a sign of Nevada’s highest-in-thenation unemployment rate.

In Albuquerque and Denver, job growth fell slightly.

Government layoffs contributed to economic woes

The state’s Republican Party immediately jumped on Stapleton’s remarks and demanded that she step down from her position as House Majority Whip. “That kind of behavior is beyond the pale and has no place in the New Mexico House of Representatives,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Monty Newman. “Representative Stapleton’s rhetoric yesterday was completely unacceptable.”

Stapleton, who was born in the Virgin Islands and elected in 1994, is the first black woman elected to the New Mexico Legislature.

She said her grandparents were Cuban and Puerto Rican.

Emilio Zamora, a historian at the University of Texas, said the term “Mexican” became a pejorative segregationists after throughout the U.S. SouthHammons said his community was situated upon the San Andres formation. “We are lucky as long was we maintain the health of the aquifer.”

Verhines said that each community needs to work cooperatively with the Forest Service. The goal is to thin trees to maintain the water table. “The watershed does not stop at the county line.”

Cloudcroft Mayor David Venable agreed, saying that they have been working with the Forest Service to thin the forest around their community.

He cited the recycling of wastewater as a high priority. Their new waste water plant is nearly completed, but “If the report from Santa Fe is correct, it may be while before we can complete it.”

Ruidoso Downs Mayor Tom Armstrong said their town relies on spring water. When the water table becomes low, they have water rights, but as well as its losses: Nearly 4,500 Americans and 100,000 Iraqis killed.

Another 32,000 American and tens of thousands Iraqis wounded. And $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury.

On the other side of the ledger, an Iraq free from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, inching forward toward democracy and vowing to be a good neighbor in the region.

Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said the Iraqi people now have an unprecedented opportunity to live in a relatively peaceful environment, but he also acknowledged it will be a challenging time. And he urged Iraqi leaders to make good choices based on what is

in Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, Albuquerque and Denver. Production levels remained depressed in Tucson, Boise, Phoenix and Las Vegas.

The housing market offered few signs of recovery. Prices across the region remained significantly below last year’s totals.

Still, the report highlighted some positive milestones. Prices remained stagnant or improved in eight of the metropolitan areas for the first time since the recession began in 2007. In Las Vegas and Tucson, home values continued to fall, but at a much slower rate than in previous quarters.

Las Vegas home prices have dropped by nearly 65 percent since 2006. The steep fall means home prices are unlikely to recover in Las Vegas any time soon, according to the report. Nevada tops the nation in foreclosures, with vacant homes dominating many neighborhoods.

As more Mexican-Americans returned from World War I service and began to participate in everyday American life, they sought different terms like “Hispano,” “Mexican-American” and later “Latino” to dif ferentiate themselves from Mexican nationals and used any ter m but “Mexican” to assert their civil rights.

Zamora said that legacy of the term’s use, especially when used today against a U.S.-born Latino or someone with deep roots in New Mexico or Texas, is what makes it so of fensive to some Latinos.

“The term is so charged,” said Zamora. “But when people use the term ‘Mexican’ now ... a lot of times it depends on the tone you use.” reliance on springs limits have grown. “We need to make sure that the water that is used is used properly.”

Some Iraqis celebrated the exit of what they called American occupiers, neither invited nor welcome in a proud country.

Others said that while grateful for U.S. help ousting Saddam, the war went on too long. A majority of Americans would agree, according to opinion polls.

districts. District 5 undergoes the most change to its shape and characteristics. The district, represented by chair man Greg Nibert, becomes more centered around Roswell’s Historic District and less dominated by the North Roswell community of interest.

Under the plan, District 4, represented by Commissioner Richard Taylor, maintains its location of tradition over the past 25 years in southwest Roswell.

The commissioners favored the plan because it squared up their districts and kept them relatively compact.

Prior to the commission’s decision, two people voiced their opinions of the plans.

Frank Sanchez, who has spokeen at various county and City Council redistricting workshops, said, “None of (the plans) I think are perfect for the Hispanic community. I think the one that comes closest to achieving and taking into consideration the growth of the Hispanic population, which is now the majority in the city, the majority in the county, is Plan C. I think it is one that at least respects and gives recognition to the growing voting strength of the Hispanic population. I think most of all the other plans limits the voting strength of the Hispanic community.”

Sanchez spearheaded a number of voting rights lawsuits throughout the 1980s and 1990s. One of the lawsuits challenged the Chaves County Commission, which at the time was an at-large voting entity. The settlement created five districts and did not dilute minority voting, according to Sanchez.

He warned people that Spanish-speakers formed the basis of two legs of the stool — oil and gas and agriculture. “It’s a portion of society we’d better be able to look after. I don’t think we can afford to cut off two legs of the stool.”

As part of the proposed agreement, Chaves County will receive payments in lieu of taxes in the amount of $15,000 per year for the first 15 years, and $25,000 per year for the last 15 years. Given Anderson’s projected location, the project had to get approval from the Lake Arthur School District, which it received.

The district will receive payment in lieu of taxes funds over the entire life of the bonds.

One of the commission’s stipulations involved the creation of a contingency plan for the school district. The plan would ensure Anderson’s payments to Lake Arthur would go toward another Chaves County school district, if for some reason the district were closed or consolidated with another district.

OPINION

Where are New Mexico’s movers and shakers now?

SANTA FE — As we near the end of the year, let’s pause to see where New Mexico’s political personalities are and what they are doing.

One of the most frequently asked questions wherever I go is “What’s happening with Bill Richardson these days?” He’s back in the news again for a fourth grand jury probe but for those of you who want to know what he’s doing the rest of the time, Richardson has a website www.billrichardson.com.

The site tells about our former governor’s recent trip to central Africa and a recent appearance on Meet the Press. Under the heading “Upcoming Engagements” is the note: No upcoming engagements are available currently. Please check back soon.

So the answer may be that he’s not doing much these days. You’d think he’d get invited to a few Christmas parties or something.

Bill and wife, Barbara, have just finished the purchase of a $1.67

nor takes over.

It is a useless requirement in this day and age. She stays in close contact with her staff, which can handle anything when she is gone. The solution is to not even mention the absence. No one is hurt. Lt. Gov. Sanchez doesn’t file for the extra pay he receives while acting as governor. He’s not complaining but others have noticed. *** Although John Sanchez has an office and staff at the Capitol, reports say he’s usually at home in Albuquerque, conducting state work and probably some personal business and some congressional campaigning.

He can be in constant touch with his staff and the constitution doesn’t require him to live in Santa Fe as it does for other elected officials. That’s because the constitution didn’t envision the lieutenant governor ever being a full-time job. *** Former Gov. Gary Johnson is

still in the Republican presidential race but he’s usually on a mountaintop in New Hampshire these days. The former New Mexico governor is disillusioned with the national Republican Party for basically ignoring his presidential candidacy, It is a strange state of affairs.

Former governors usually aren’t given such short shrift. Johnson at least expected to get an opportunity to present his views on stage with fellow candidates. He has been shut out of nearly every debate and his name hasn’t been included in most polls that help determine who gets into the debates.

What’s his problem? Johnson’s libertarian views are embraced by the Republican Party only when relating to smaller government.

And Libertarians like a much smaller government than Republicans.

And when it comes to individual rights, they differ even more. Both Republicans and Democrats

believe everyone should have the individual rights with which they agree. Otherwise they make them illegal.

So issues such as gay marriage and legalized drugs drive a huge wedge between the two party beliefs. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas has managed to establish a position for himself on stage at Republican debates after having been excluded four years ago.

Johnson had hoped Paul, 76, would choose not to enter the presidential race again this year and would encourage his followers to get behind Johnson. But it did not happen.

Might Johnson, like Paul, decide to make another try in four years, hoping that the Republican Party and the news media will give him a shot next time?

National Opinion Russian election

After the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Russia made only a brief stab at democracy. What followed under Vladimir Putin has been a steady slide back to the authoritarianism that has long blighted its history.

The trend was dramatically highlighted in Sunday’s fraud-marred parliamentary election.

The country’s only election-monitoring outfit, Golos, tallied 1,300 irregularities.

One election official described to The Associated Press how workers stuffed boxes with ballots for Putin’s party, United Russia. In Chechnya the United Russia vote was ludicrously high — more than 99 percent.

Despite the fraud, United Russia emerged with a tally of just under 50 percent, a big drop from the 64 percent received four years ago.

Discontent with Putin is rising. Thousands protested the election in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Kansas Citian Steve Glorioso, in Moscow to serve as an election observer, said the city has a police-state feel, with officials interviewed in a BBC report denying the presence of thousands of troops on a main square — troops that Glorioso said he could see from his hotel window.

“The state denies what people can see with their own eyes,” he remarked in an email.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev — who has mostly refrained from public statements on Putin’s regime — called for nullification of the vote and a new election.

Gorbachev is right. But Putin — planning to run for a third term as president in the March elections — isn’t likely to take the advice. The coming months will undoubtedly provide more illustrations of how far Russia has veered from democracy, and back toward its old habit of one-man rule.

Trade policy

While the decision to station a contingent of Marines in Australia drew much attention during President Barack Obama’s recent trip to the Pacific region, the longerterm interests of the United States may have been more advanced by a pacific policy in the Pacific, through freer trade.

At the Honolulu summit conference of Pacific rim nations, Obama won commitments from Japan and Canada to join talks aimed at binding nine Pacific Rim nations to a trade pact in the next year.

Whether that happens is still a big “if.”

But carry it off, and American exports — both goods and services — can expand significantly in the region.

America already has separate free-trade agreements with Australia, Chile, Peru and Singapore. Four that would be added would be Malaysia, New Zealand, Vietnam and Brunei.

Economists say it would be the largest free-trade area since that formed by the union of the U.S., Canada and Mexico in the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994.

While the stationing of more Marines in the Pacific region is seen as a check on aggressive moves by the communist government of China, the principal competition in the area is between the Almighty (sort of) Dollar and the Rising Renminbi, China’s currency. China’s efforts to expand its influence, both in trade and political ties, needed not involve a clash with American interests, but certainly raise that possibility — and many of China’s neighbors look at their giant neighbor with some suspicion.

We applaud Obama for this initiative and suggest it deserves bipartisan support should the negotiations prosper next year.

Infighting hurts all GOP candidates

Casey Stengel, a baseball legend who played on five teams and managed four, said: “It’s easy to get good players. Getting them to play together, that’s the hard part.”

What’s true in sports is definitely true in politics — even more so.

Many say that ’tis the season for GOP rivalry, but when does inference turn to infighting? When does public debate abandon solidarity? And when does friendly bantering turn into friendly fire that is fuel for our foes?

Wings for L.I.F.E. celebrate Christmas with special guest

Wings for L.I.F.E. held its annual Christmas Party on Sunday, Dec. 4, at St. Andrew’s Church. More than 160 moms, dads, grandparents and more than 86 children attended.

Children and their families participated in an interactive Christmas play with costumes. Children and grownups decorated cookies for dessert following dinner. After dinner one person was selected from each table to be decorated as a Christmas tree. These human Christmas trees could rival any that are displayed elsewhere. Santa Claus made a special appearance to help distribute gift bags filled with toys, activity books, beanie babies, and beautiful hand-knitted hats. Each child and teen in attendance received a gift bag.

Beautiful Christmas ornaments donated by Christmas by Krebs were given to each family. Two bikes (girl’s and boy’s) were also given as door prizes. The party was a wonder ful event thanks to the assistance of so many caring members of our community and wonderful volun-

Many of the children present at the party attend the Wings for L.I.F.E. Building Assets program now at six elementary schools. One hundred children attend this aftercare program that is based on Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets, the building blocks for helping our youth become principled young men and women.

weapon.” And the best missile in that arsenal is the friendly fire (ridicule) caused within the enemies’ own camps.

The goal is “conflict among themselves” — what Alinsky calls “power cannibalism,” “a road from which there is no turning back” because it “permits only temporary truces.” Indeed, according to Alinsky, they will suffer a form of selfish implosion while attempting to appear selfless as “individual units attempt to exploit the general threat for their own special benefit.”

Alinsky concludes, “Here is the vulnerable belly of the status quo.”

Tragically, by their infighting, the GOP candidates are playing right into Obama and Alinsky’s hands. The fact is that while the majority of GOP candidates think they merely are competing for the prize of the nomination, they are running exact plays from Alinsky’s playbook, often pitted by the mainstream media and the White House, who are playing them like pawns, with their questions, accusations and innuendoes.

Consider how the Alinsky scorecard has read just recently.

According to The Associated Press, last week, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s camp “announced a $3.1 million TV ad campaign in Iowa beginning (Dec. 9) that includes the new commercial assailing Gingrich on a host of fronts.”

On the other hand, look at what Gingrich said at a Nov. 28 town hall meeting in Charleston, S.C.: “I do approach this whole campaign, I think, differently from everybody else. We have a number of friends who are also running. We have no opponents except Barack Obama. I think that’s very important. I think (Abraham) Lincoln was very wise, as was captured in a book called ‘Team of Rivals.’ ... Literally everybody who was his opponent ended up in the Cabinet because he needed all of them in order to be able to put together the political power during the crisis that we faced. I would say the same thing. I don’t know of a single person currently running who wouldn’t be a very effective member of an administrative team and who doesn’t have real talent and, in some way ... a unique strength. So I

It isn’t just a meal, it is creating a sense of community with those who

don’t have any opponents on the Republican side.”

Now, you tell me, which type of leadership is going to win us back the White House, one that rallies the country or one that divides the house?

The Republican presidential candidates are not the only ones being duped to Alinsky’s schemes; many of the conservative media and much of the public are, too. While we slander our own presidential candidates within the borders of our First Amendment rights, we inadvertently abandon the strategy to win the White House.

Every conservative I know agrees that any GOP candidate would bring better leadership than that which we currently have in the White House. I firmly believe that our candidates’ positive attributes outweigh any of their negatives.

With about three weeks until the Iowa caucuses, it’s high time that we quit allowing the left and even our own preferences and prejudice to polarize us any further. It’s time we lay down our egos and our innate bent and fight to unify for our republic’s sake. It’s time we elevate our own preferred candidate without trashing the others. It’s time we turn the tables and beat the progressives at their own game by overturning their own rules — Alinsky’s “rules”!

If we are going to win the war for the White House, it’s going to be solely in our ability to rally together and keep our scopes on the current occupant of the White House, not by aiming at one another.

So let’s flood the media and blogosphere with discussion about the strengths each candidate possesses.

Let’s keep the focus on real solutions to get this country back on track. Let’s live out the acronym TEAM and show progressives and the world that “together everyone achieves more,” namely winning back the White House and Senate and maintaining a majority in the House of Representatives, which would save our republic.

United we stand; divided we most certainly will fall.

When the addicted subjects were placed in an MRI machine and reminded of the game, their brains reacted similarly to the brains of drug addicts who are shown something reminding them of their drug. None of this evidence proves that you can really be addicted to electronic media, but it suggests that it’s possible.

Here are three tips for cutting back on minor but unhealthy habits: (1) Find a healthier alternative. Call a friend or family member to connect if you’re feeling lonely, instead of spending hours on the Internet.

(2) Set your sights on reducing your habit by half each day or week. After you’ve succeeded at this, try going without. Skip your habit entirely one day a week. Then try two days (or more).

I have a patient who became overwhelmed by his Facebook page and barrage of tweets from Twitter. He decided to take a month off and just disappeared from the social networks. When he tuned back in a month later, he found some angry notes from buddies.

He thought about it a while. Then he decided to take a middle-ground position: He didn’t stay completely offline, but he greatly scaled back the number of messages he initiated or responded to. Last I heard, his friends were still giving him a hard time, but he was OK with that.

Ultimately, nipping an unhealthy habit in the bud can help you improve your health, save money and reconnect with people and activities you enjoy.

Anonymous donors pay off Kmart layaway accounts OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and wor n-out boots. With him were three small children.

He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn’t be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.

“She told him, ‘No, I’m paying for it,”’ recalled Edna Deppe, assistant manager at the store in Indianapolis. “He just stood there and looked at her and then looked at me and asked if it was a joke.

I told him it wasn’t, and that she was going to pay for him. And he just busted out in tears.”

At Kmart stores across the country, Santa seems to be getting some help: Anonymous donors are paying off strangers’ layaway accounts, buying the Christmas gifts other families couldn’t afford, especially toys and children’s clothes set aside by impoverished parents.

Before she left the store Tuesday evening, the Indianapolis woman in her mid-40s had paid the layaway orders for as many as 50 people. On the way out, she handed out $50 bills and paid for two carts of toys for a woman in line at the cash register.

“She was doing it in the memory of her husband who had just died, and

Bobbie was born Nov. 19, 1933, in Weed; the daughter of George Munson and Lunye Mae (Fisher) Munson. She was a longtime Hope and Artesia resident.

On June 17, 1950, she was married to A. J. Van Winkle in Alamogordo. He preceded her in death on April 16, 1986.

She was a dietary manager at Artesia Good Samaritan for 15 years and a member of Clark Memorial Methodist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents, two

she said she wasn’t going to be able to spend it and wanted to make people happy with it,” Deppe said. The woman did not identify herself and only asked people to “remember Ben,” an apparent reference to her husband.

Deppe, who said she’s worked in retail for 40 years, had never seen anything like it.

“It was like an angel fell out of the sky and appeared in our store,” she said.

Dona Bremser, an Omaha nurse, was at work when a Kmart employee called to tell her that someone had paid off the $70 balance of her layaway account, which held nearly $200 in toys for her 4-year-old son.

“I was speechless,” Bremser said. “It made me believe in Christmas again.”

The benefactors generally ask to help families who are squirreling away items for young children.

They often pay a portion of the balance, usually all but a few dollars or cents so the layaway order stays in the store’s system.

The phenomenon seems to have begun in Michigan before spreading, Kmart executives said.

“It is honestly being driven by people wanting to do a good deed at this time of the year,” said Salima Yala, Kmart’s division vice president for layaway.

The good Samaritans seem to be visiting mainly

brothers, a sister and two sons.

Survivors include daughter Sue Sleeman of Carlsbad; seven grandchildren: Markette Karr, Michael Newton, Craig Newton, Grady Newton, Cara Pierce, Jami Van Winkle, and Neal Van Winkle; eight greatgrandchildren; two greatgreat-grandchildren; and sisters, Lenora Harlin, of Albuquerque, and Lucy Wimberly, of Belen.

Kmart representatives say they did nothing to instigate the secret Santas or spread word of the generosity.

Kmart may be the focus of layaway generosity, Yala said, because it is one of the few large discount stores that has of fered layaway year round for about four decades. Under the program, customers can make purchases but let the store hold onto their merchandise as they pay it off slowly over several weeks.

The sad memories of layaways lost prompted at least one good Samaritan to pay off the accounts of five people at an Omaha Kmart, said Karl Graff, the store’s assistant manager.

“She told me that when she was younger, her mom used to set up things on layaway at Kmart, but they rarely were able to pay them off because they just didn’t have the money for it,” Graff said.

He called a woman who had been helped, “and she broke down in tears on the phone with me. She wasn’t sure she was going to be able to pay off their layaway and was afraid their kids weren’t going to have anything for Christ-

Blind seal finds new home at aquarium HONOLULU (AP) — A nearly blind Hawaiian monk seal found years ago trying to suckle a rock at a Kauai beach after his mother abandoned him is settling into his new home at the Waikiki Aquarium.

Hoailona, also known as KP2, has been poking his snout into the corners and edges of the outdoor pool as he explores the new environment he moved into this week.

“He’s curious about everything that’s around him,” aquarium director Andy Rossiter said Thursday.

Hoailona is about 12 in human years. National Marine Fisheries Service officials first found him trying to suckle on a rock when he was just three days old.

A pup his mother abandoned the year before died and they decided to rescue KP2 so he would not meet the same fate.

Humans raised Hoailona until he was old enough to be released into the wild, and then set him free on Molokai.

There, the seal gravitat-

ed to people and soon became famous for char ming and playing with swimmers. But authorities had to take him away when he started holding people underwater. His eyesight was also found to be poor.

Hoailona has spent the past two years at a California research laboratory.

At the aquarium, Hoailona is joining Maka, a seal who has been at the aquarium for more than 25 years and who would be in his late 80s or 90s if he was human.

Rossiter said the pair is akin to a “grandpa and a rambunctious teenager.”

Metal bars separate the two for now because Hoailona is just 200 pounds — less than half the size of the 450-pound Maka — and the young seal could get hurt if they were to fight.

Male monk seals tend to be territorial so it’s a real risk.

Rossiter said the bars may be removed once Hoailona grows and the seals get used to each other.

Hoailona suffers from cataract problems that are aggravated by the sun, so the aquarium has also installed a white canopy over part of the exhibit space so he can take refuge in the shade.

The seal’s vision is only 20 to 30 percent of normal strength. But his hearing is good, and he uses this and sensors on his whiskers to get around. who Veterinarians examined the seal in California said the risks of operating on his eyes posed a greater risk than the inconvenience Hoailona is experiencing from his condition, Rossiter said.

It’s not clear what caused Hoailona’s eyesight to deteriorate. The formula he received as an infant may have lacked the nutrients he needed.

Other theories put the blame on disease or genetics.

Iraqis view US departure with relief as well as apprehension Roswell Daily Record

BAGHDAD (AP) — The Stars and Stripes were lowered, the Iraqi flag raised, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared the U.S. role in the Iraq War officially over. Muhsin Mohammed was glad for that, but not satisfied. He wanted something that never came — an apology.

“We were waiting for Panetta to apologize to the Iraqi people for the mistakes and crimes committed by the U.S. soldiers during the occupation time,” the retired government employee from Baghdad said. “Instead, he praised the sacrifices of the U.S. soldiers and forgot about the Iraqis killed because of his government’s mistakes in Iraq.”

Mohammed was among many Iraqis who watched on television as Thursday’s ceremony played out in a walled courtyard at Baghdad airport, which only a few years ago was buzzing with U.S. helicopters and transport planes.

Some felt Panetta gave short shrift to the plight of the Iraqis, whose joy over the end of Saddam Hussein’s rule was quickly swept away by the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, countless shootings of civilians at checkpoints and the affront to Iraqi pride by being bossed around in their own country by young soldiers from a far-off land.

Their remarks also conveyed a deep ambivalence about the U.S. role and the future of the country the Americans are leaving behind. Many worry that their country is too weak to fend off conspiracies by their neighbors, notably the Iranians.

“After the U.S. troop withdrawal, we must now prepare ourselves for the threats of the neighboring countries who are sharpening their knives. Iraq is now on the brink of disaster with political infighting still going on between political factions for power,” said Ihssan Jassim of Basra, a member of the Shiite Muslim sect that has dominated politics since the end of Saddam’s Sunni-led regime.

Jassim, an electricity engineer, said Iraqis had suffered for nearly nine years but “there is still no real progress in their lives.”

“We see no good things from the Americans, except for one thing: toppling Saddam Hussein. The rest of their work in Iraq was a total disaster,” said Hassan Kashif, a Shiite from southeastern Baghdad. “During all their presence in Iraq, the U.S. soldiers showed no respect to the Iraqi people.”

Iraqis were relieved to see American “occupiers” gone but remain fearful for the future of their shattered country only barely beginning to recover from the savagery and destruction of the war. Most Iraqis viewed the American presence as a military occupation, not a support and reconstruction mission as Washington insisted.

“The Americans helped in toppling Saddam, yet the Iraqi people refused to be ruled by the Americans,” said Ahmed alAlwani, a Sunni parliament member. “We are facing a new challenge, which is the Iranian and (Shiite) militias. ... Some Iraqis may regret the U.S. withdrawal if Iran takes over.”

Many of those who watched the ceremony resented Panetta’s praise for the sacrifice endured by American service members without giving what they considered justice to the misery that the war heaped on Iraqis — soldiers, police, insurgents and civilians alike. Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops perished in the war, compared with at least 100,000 Iraqis in a country less than one-tenth the population of the United States.

“We were happy to see the hoisting of the Iraqi flag while the occupation flag is being lowered,” said Thamir Fuad, a 37year-old Sunni engineer in Mosul. “We were angered by the words uttered by Panetta where he thanked the American troops in addition to their families and expressed appreciation for their sacrifices. He forgot the sacrifices of the Iraqi people who fell between the hammer of American military operations and the anvil of terrorist attacks. Iraqis have made much greater sacrifices that what was made by the U.S. occupiers.”

Accusations flare as Egyptians vote in 2nd round

CAIRO (AP) — Islamists and liberals accused election officials Thursday of filling out ballot forms for elderly or confused voters at some polling stations during the second round of parliamentary elections. If confirmed as a pattern, the reports could chip away at the credibility of what has so far been the freest and fairest vote in Egypt’s modern history.

Under Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year regime, elections were systemically rigged and the corruption was a major impetus behind the popular uprising that ousted the authoritarian leader in February. But as the polls closed, it was still unclear how widespread the problems were.

The head of the election commission, Abdel-Moez Ibrahim, described the allegations of wrongdoing as “a strong wave of rumors which aimed at driving wedge between the judges and the people.” He said he investigated some incidents and found out that judges overseeing the voting were helping disabled, illiterate voters. But because of the accusations, judges now tell voters asking for help that this is not their role.

“If people lose confidence in their judges, this will lead to a state collapse,” he said.

It was difficult to say how widespread any abuses or irregularities were, but more allegations surfaced in this round than in the previous

one in November as competition heats up.

Casting his vote for the first time in his life, 68-yearold reform leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei responded to fears of a parliament dominated by Islamists by saying that a new constitution might also mean new elections.

“This is the first step toward democracy,” he said.

Commenting on alleged violations, he said: “This is nothing compared to before.”

The second round of voting in nine of the country’s 27 provinces covered vast rural areas where the two Islamist blocs that dominated in the first round look poised to cement and probably even bolster their already overwhelming majority.

These elections are the first test of the strength of political forces that have emerged in the 10 months since the uprising. The political forces are roughly divided into two camps — the Islamists on one side and on the other, secular and liberal groups that largely drove the uprising but failed to turn their achievement into a victory at the polls.

The crux of power in Egypt remains in the hands of the ruling military council that took power from Mubarak. It is the ultimate authority on all matters of state in absence of a president.

Shooting woes continue for NMMI Section

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Conventional wisdom says that if you outrebound your opponent by 12, hold the opponents’ biggest of fensive weapon to 10 points and no rebounds and shoot 57.1 percent from beyond the arc, you’ll win more times than you

lose.

Conventional wisdom was wrong on Thursday.

The NMMI boys basketball team accomplished all those things against Capitan, but still lost 53-44 to the Tigers inside Cahoon Armory.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS BEARS’ HURD FACING DRUG CHARGES

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd was in federal custody Thursday after authorities accused him of trying to set up a drug distribution network in the Chicago area and arrested him after he allegedly agreed to buy a kilogram of cocaine from an undercover agent.

According to the federal complaint, Hurd was arrested Wednesday night after meeting with the agent at a Chicago restaurant. The complaint contends Hurd told the agent that he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute.

Hurd told the agent “his co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals” while he focused on “higher-end deals,” the complaint said. He allegedly said he could pay for the kilogram of cocaine after “he gets out of practice,” then walked out of the restaurant with the package and was arrested.

The complaint alleges that Hurd also told the agent that he and a co-conspirator already distribute about four kilos of cocaine a week in the Chicago area, but his supplier couldn’t keep up with his demands.

He was scheduled to make his initial court appearance later Thursday.

It wasn’t immediately known whether he had an attorney and his agent, Ian Greengross, did not immediately return a message.

The Bears said the team is aware of Hurd’s arrest and is gathering details about what happened.

“We are disappointed whenever these circumstances arise. We will deal with them appropriately once we have all the information,” the team said in a statement.

Hurd, a 26-year-old native of San Antonio who played college ball at Northern Illinois, played for five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and is now in his first season with the Bears.

Colts made four of their seven attempts from beyond the arc.

Those struggles hurt the most early in the first quarter when Capitan (5-2) built a lead that NMMI was never able to significantly dent.

Justin Petross gave the Colts their first and only lead of the game on a triple from the right corner in the

first two minutes of the first.

From there, the T igers ran off 11 in a row for a 133 lead. During that stretch, NMMI missed all six of its field-goal attempts and turned the ball over thrice.

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

DEXTER — Some nights shots just don’t fall in basketball. When jump shots aren’t falling, coaches tell their players to get easy baskets so they can visually see the ball go through the cylinder.

Unfortunately for the Dexter girls basketball team, the easy baskets were exactly what Tatum took away.

The Demons scored just four points through the first three quarters thanks to a hounding Coyote defense and Dexter lost 70-11 on Thursday.

Tatum scored the first two buckets of the game to take a 4-0, but Dexter’s Tabatha Salas nailed a 3-pointer to bring the Demons to within one with 6:08 left to play in the first quarter.

Dexter wouldn’t score again until 1:25 remained in the first half.

After Salas’ 3, the Coyotes imposed their will on both ends of the floor. On its next seven possessions, Tatum scored 12 points, seven of which came on secondchance opportunities.

Defensively, the Coyotes packed the lane with defenders, forcing Dexter to pass the ball around the perimeter and take outside shots.

Tatum’s game plan, coupled with its domination on the boards led to a 40-4 halftime lead for the Coyotes. In the first half Tatum held a 27-9 rebounding advantage and finished the game with a 43-21 advantage in that department.

Dexter showed some spark in the fourth quarter.

It scored on three consecutive possessions, but by that point the game was already out of reach.

Salas led the Demons with three points, while Hannah Manemann,

Falcons pound Jaguars ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons had been waiting all season for a complete game.

They finally got it.

Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes in less than three quarters of work, John Abraham had 3 1/2 sacks and the Falcons clinched a fourth straight winning season with a 41-14 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday.

“Hopefully we can play like we did tonight for the next couple weeks,” Ryan said.

This one was over by halftime. Atlanta (9-5) led 27-0 when the teams trotted to the locker room, Blaine Gabbert and the shellshocked Jaguars (4-

10) saddled with a net passing total of minus-1 yard, the Falcons well on the way to strengthening their hold on an NFC wild-card spot.

Gabbert had one of his worst games in a miserable rookie season, coughing up the ball twice on hits by Abraham.

Both fumbles led to Atlanta scores, with defensive tackle Corey Peters scooping up the second one and trotting to the end zone early in the third quarter for a touchdown that ended any thought of the Jaguars getting back in the game.

“It wasn’t just me,” Abraham said. “The whole team was able to get to the quarterback.”

4th man accuses ex-Syracuse coach of sexual abuse

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) — A 56-year-old New York prison inmate says former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine began molesting him more than 40 years ago and continued to have sexual contact with him into adulthood.

Floyd VanHooser told The Associated Press during a prison interview Thursday that Fine began sexually abusing him when VanHooser was 14 years old. As an adult, the contact included sex acts for money.

VanHooser is the fourth man to accuse Fine of sexual abuse. He initially made his allegations to the PostStandard of Syracuse.

Free agent Jamal Crawford heading to Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Free-agent guard Jamal Crawford has decided to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Crawford, who was reportedly considering Sacramento and the Blazers, announced his choice on Twitter, posting “Rip city!!!”

The terms of the deal were not clear. The Trail Blazers refused to comment because the deal had yet to be formally signed and Crawford’s agent could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.

An 11-year veteran, Crawford played for the Atlanta Hawks the last two seasons. For his career, he has averaged 15.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He won the NBA’s Sixth Man award in 2010.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard will help the Blazers deal with the absence of Brandon Roy, who says he plans to pursue medical retirement, and Rudy Fernandez, who was traded away on draft night in June.

It was expected that the Blazers would use the NBA’s new amnesty clause to waive Roy, freeing up salary cap space and allowing the team to use a mid-level exemption on Crawford.

Mavericks waive guard Andy Rautins

DALLAS (AP) — The Mavericks have waived guard Andy Rautins five days after he was acquired in a three-team trade that sent Tyson Chandler to the New York Knicks.

Rautins was acquired along with a 2012 second-round draft pick from Washington, while New York got Chandler and the draft rights to Ahmad Nivins and Giorgos Printezis from Dallas.

Washington received forward Ronny Turiaf, a 2013 second round pick and cash considerations from New York and a 2012 second round pick from Dallas.

Knicks sign Jordan, lose out on Crawford, Williams

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks have signed center Jerome Jordan, the second 7-footer they added this offseason.

However, they lost out on two other targets, leaving their bench light on scoring.

Jamal Crawford passed on a return to New York, and Shawne Williams, a Knick last season, planned to sign with the Nets later Thursday, according to his agent.

The Knicks had only the new $2.5 million, two-year exception left and were outbid for both players.

Jordan was a second-round pick of Milwaukee in 2010, whose rights the Knicks acquired for cash. He then spent parts of the

Fine was fired Nov. 27 after a 36-year career at Syracuse after three men said he molested them when they were boys.

Paul already realizes what side he’s taking in the one-sided Staples Center rivalry, repeatedly refusing to talk about the Lakers’ squashed trade for him — even refusing to say the Lakers’ name.

“The other team has won championships, and it’s about winning, but I think Blake has done an unbelievable job changing that (perception),” Paul said. “You can’t take anypast two seasons playing in Serbia before a buyout of his contract was arranged. He took part in his first practice Thursday and hopes for minutes behind newcomer Tyson Chandler.

Agent: Hornets, forward Carl Landry agree to deal

WESTWEGO, La. (AP) — The Hornets have wrapped up an agreement on a oneyear contract with free agent Carl Landry, who is expected to step back into the starting power forward spot he had late last season and during New Orleans’ first-round playoff series.

Landry’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, said the deal is worth about $8.8 million.

Hornets general manager Dell Demps and coach Monty Williams “did an unbelievable job communicating to him how bad they want him back, and what they were trying to build,” Bartelstein said. “Carl really enjoyed playing for Monty.”

The deal on Thursday morning came less than 24 hours after the Hornets traded All-Star guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers for shooting guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman and forward Al-Farouq Aminu.

Aminu is a second-year player who is likely to back up the 6-foot-9 Landry, who averaged 11.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 23 games with the Hornets. Landry was acquired in a trade with Sacramento last season and initially backed up David West, but moved into a starting role when West injured his left knee. West, who was a free agent after last season, decided last weekend to sign with Indiana, opening the way for Landry to return as the likely starter.

“He understands the system. He really thrived later in the season after the injury to David West,” Demps said. “He had some big-time moments for us in the playoffs last year. We want to grow on that. ... He fits our system and we’re excited about the agreement.”

Bartelstein said his client agreed to only a one-year deal because of Hornets “uncertain ownership situation.” The team is currently owned by the NBA, but is hoping to have local ownership by mid-January or February, team officials have said.

Still, Landry was willing to give the Hornets at least one more season and remain open to signing an extension if the ownership situation becomes more stable, Bartelstein said.

“He’s going to have a great year and we’ll obviously revisit things in a few months from now,” Bartelstein said.

Timberwolves sign Bonzi Wells, Malcolm Lee

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed veteran Bonzi Wells, who hasn’t played in an NBA game since 2008.

Wells signed his contract Thursday, the same day the Timberwolves completed a three-year deal with second-round pick Malcolm Lee. The 35-year-old Wells earned a reputation as a hothead during his earlier years with the Portland Trail Blazers. But he connected with new Minnesota coach Rick Adelman during stops in Sacramento and Houston, and the Wolves hope he can add some veteran toughness to a very young team.

The 6-foot-5 Wells will provide some much-needed depth at shooting guard for

way.

After the game, Carrasco put the blame squarely on his own shoulders.

“As everyone knows, we have reasons. But, it’s my job to teach them how to overcome those reasons and I’m just falling short right now,” he said.

“We’ve just got to continue to work.

“I’m pleased with our defense. At times, we can go four, five, six possessions where we do well, but we don’t convert them

to a fourth accuser in the Fine case as someone serving a life sentence in prison as a persistent felon, but didn’t disclose his name.

But Fitzpatrick said that person’s claims were not credible.

“There simply is no victim No. 4,” Fitzpatrick said during a news conference.

VanHooser said both his parents died by the time he was 13 and he moved in with Fine at age 14, which is when the abuse started.

Though he began running away after six months, VanHooser said he saw Fine on and off for nearly 40 years.

He said the sexual contact continued over that period.

VanHooser has listed Fine’s for mer Syracuse

address as his own in the past, including on a tax lien from 1999. VanHooser did painting and other maintenance work on Fine’s home and he also worked for several years at a Syracuse University fraternity house where Fine was an adviser for many years.

VanHooser said he never saw Fine abusing other children.

“It was always one on one,” he said.

He said he saw Fine in March of this year.

Van Hooser served state prison sentences for burglaries in 1985, 1998 and 2002 before a judge sentenced him to 16 years to life this fall.

Syracuse police inter-

thing away from him about how he has changed the culture here in L.A. I’m coming here to join and be a part of it, and hopefully we can grow together as basketball players and continue to change everything.

That’s what we play for.”

Grif fin is sad to lose teammates Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and AlFarouq Aminu in the deal, but the Rookie of the Year is looking forward to lining up with Paul and fellow newcomers Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups, called “my big brother” by Paul.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Griffin said. “The target has shifted a little bit, but the only thing I’m going to promise is that you’re going to get our best every night. And

when you hear ‘The Clippers,’ it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that.”

Paul is eager to play with Grif fin after they teamed up last year at the All-Star game in Los Angeles. He knows fans are already salivating at the prospect of Paul’s passes finding Griffin for all varieties of vicious dunks.

“That’s something that’s not going to happen over night either,” Paul said. “I’ve got to find the right height. It’s like Blake plays on a goal that’s lower than 10 foot or something. I’m excited for the opportunity to not only help him grow, but for him to help me to get to the next level.”

Indy group unveils traffic plan for Super Bowl

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dozens of extra police officers will be on hand to help motorists navigate restricted streets and city buses will offer free rides to help visitors and workers as an expected 100,000 fans descend on downtown Indianapolis for Super Bowl week.

The Super Bowl Host Committee on Thursday unveiled its traffic plan for the two weeks leading up to the Feb. 5 game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“We want to make sure everybody enjoys the event, it’s a safe event,” said Deputy Police Chief Mike Bates.

The committee’s Lori Miser said several streets will be restricted or partially closed throughout downtown beginning Jan. 19, particularly in the vicinity of Lucas Oil Stadium and the nearby Super Bowl Village.

Restrictions will be minimal at first, but will be ramped up gradually as game day approaches. The south side of Monument Circle also will be restricted on certain days, officials said.

Organizers said the Indianapolis Super Bowl will be different from many past ones because the game and related events all will be downtown, instead of scattered across several miles.

Bates said it’s the first time Indianapolis, home of the Indy 500 that draws an estimated 300,000 fans for one day each May, has hosted an event of this magnitude.

“Everybody seems to think that it’s just a game, what’s the big deal? It’s more than just a game, it’s a 10-day event,” he said.

Bates said 80-100 extra police officers will be stationed on downtown street corners to direct traffic on key days. Miser said the city bus service will offer three rides on Super Bowl Sunday and for the three days before the game.

Between 100,000 to 150,000 fans are expected to attend the game or pregame events, and officials say another 100,000 work downtown. And they’ll all need someplace to park. Super Bowl organizers say there are an estimated 88,000 parking spaces downtown.

Organizers said the NFL has made arrangements with most downtown parking garages for fans, and downtown parking lots may charge event parking prices at times in the week leading up to the big game.

Miser said organizers had contacted big downtown employers like Eli Lilly & Co. and asked them to have workers work from home or stagger their work hours whenever possible in the week before the game to minimize downtown congestion. Carpooling was also suggested, and organizers said a $2 shuttle service would be offered at three locations.

She said officials were recommending two alternate routes to help travelers bypass the downtown area. One circles the area clockwise, the other counter-clockwise.

Major interstates will be open during the Super Bowl period, organizers said.

Prosecutors drop charge against Patriots’ Edelman

BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors on

Roswell Daily Record

viewed VanHooser last month. He said police told him that his former case worker contacted them and told them they should talk to VanHooser about his relationship with Fine.

Cindy Clarke, a former girlfriend of VanHooser’s and the mother of his 17year -old daughter, said VanHooser told her of the abuse in 2002.

“He was going to go to Bernie’s and do some work on his house and he really didn’t want to go. He seemed so upset, and I questioned him and he said that Bernie had been abusing him that it had started way back in 1970,” Clarke said in a phone interview Thursday.

Neil Olshey credited owner Donald Sterling and Paul’s agent, Leon Rose, for pushing through a trade that stalled at numerous points thanks to the Hornets’ ownership by the NBA. “His commitment to wanting to be here is what inspired me to not give up,” Olshey said of Paul. “When it got to the point where both our goals met late (Wednesday) after noon, we just got in a room and got on with Mr. Sterling and said, ‘If we’re going to take this quantum leap as a franchise, it’s going to have to be with a superstar, and that’s Chris.”’

Paul has told the Clippers he’ll exercise his player option for next season, keeping him alongside Griffin, center DeAnThursday dropped an indecent assault and battery charge against New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, saying evidence suggests he just briefly grabbed the hand of a woman who accused him of groping her.

Edelman, 25, was accused of grabbing the woman’s crotch after reaching under her costume during a Halloween party at a Boston nightclub.

On Thursday, prosecutors said they decided to drop the charge after reviewing video surveillance and witness statements and interviewing the woman several times.

They said video indicates Edelman “approached a woman on the dance floor and took her hand briefly.” The contact was “fleeting” and Edelman didn’t commit a crime, prosecutors said.

“The Commonwealth would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant intentionally engaged in a harmful or offensive touching of the complainant that would be regarded by society as immodest, immoral, and improper,” prosecutors wrote in the court papers they filed to withdraw prosecution.

A message for comment was left with Edelman’s attorney. A Patriots spokesman said that since the team hasn’t been involved in the case, it was inappropriate to comment.

Edelman was arrested outside the Storyville nightclub after police were called there early on Nov. 1. At the time, Edelman denied to police that that he had groped the woman.

This year, Edelman has three receptions for 27 yards and has played defensive back, recording 10 tackles. He’s also returned punts, averaging 11.7 yards per return with a 72-yard touchdown.

Edelman, through the Patriots, issued a statement after the decision: “I am very appreciative of the hard work of the County’s public officials and of my attorney Amy McNamee. I am humbled by the support of my teammates and the Patriots organization.

“I’m just looking forward to focusing on football.”

Ailing Achilles ends season for Redskins’ Landry

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — A wasted season is over for Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry, whose sore left Achilles tendon hasn’t fully healed and will now likely require surgery.

Now it’s a matter of waiting to see if the injury has ended Landry’s Redskins career as well.

Coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday that Landry will be placed on injured reserve. The news came almost a year to the day that Shanahan made essentially the same announcement — the former firstround pick is being shut down with three games to go.

“It’s got to get well,” Shanahan said, “because last year, in the first nine games that he played, he should have been player of the year.”

With the Achilles still sore, Landry went to a see Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., this week. The doctor recommended surgery, and Landry now will seek other opinions before deciding how to proceed.

Shanahan said the Achilles is not torn, “but if he feels like he needs to have surgery on it, something’s seriously wrong.”

Complicating matters is that Landry is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. If he were healthy, the No. 6 overall selection in 2007 would expect a big payday. Now the Redskins — and other teams — will have to pause before throwing lots of money at a defensive back who has played in only 17 games over the last two seasons.

“You’ve got to check out exactly how the surgery went,” Shanahan said. “You’ve got to talk to the doctors. You to make sure the athlete’s in a good rehab program.”

The Redskins thought safety would be one of their strong positions this season. To complement Landry, they signed Oshiomogho Atogwe to a five-year, $26 million contract just before the NFL lockout.

But while Landry has been hindered by hamstring and groin injuries in addition to the Achilles, Atogwe has battled hamstring, toe and knee ailments and will spend the final three games playing backup to Reed Doughty at free safety.

Landry has missed three of the last four games. His strong safety spot now belongs to rookie fifth-round pick DeJon Gomes, who started Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots.

The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify people alleging sexual abuse unless they agree to be identified or publicly identify themselves. VanHooser agreed to have his name published.

VanHooser, who appeared stooped and ashen during Thursday’s interview, said he had a cocaine addiction but stopped using cold turkey six months ago. He said he doesn’t care if Fine is punished any more, noting that he already lost his job. And the inmate added that he doesn’t want to talk about the issue anymore.

“I just want it to be over with,” he said.

dre Jordan and their supporting cast for at least two years. The Clippers’ braintrust is confident they’ll win enough in that stretch to persuade the club’s core players to stick together.

“You can’t win a championship without stars,” Olshey said. “We took the last few years, we think we’ve drafted at a high level, we’ve accumulated assets, and it just came where it was time to push our chips to the middle of the table. We all just got in the room and realized we can continue this gradual growth pattern, follow this business model, or we can go all-in.

You’ve got to give action to get action. We gave up value, and we like to think we got more value in return.”

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Heloise: First, let me say I love your column and read it every day.

When I read your article on travel advice from Joan Crawford, one of my favorites, I was especially interested.

Here is my take on PERFECT PACKING: I keep plastic bags from the dry cleaners in my suitcases and use them for each individual suit, blouse or dress on hangers. I then fold them, in their plastic bag and on a hanger, and put them in the suitcase.

When I arrive at my destination, I unpack each item and hang it up. As I use the items, I place the plastic bag with the hanger back in my suitcase, and put worn or soiled clothes on top.

When packing pressed items not on hangers, I just place a plastic bag between each fold.

My clothes are always wrinklefree.

In my overnight bag, I keep a laminated 5-by-7-inch index card of items never to forget, such as medications, travel umbrella, tennis shoes and socks, nightgown, etc. On the other side of the same card, I list toiletries, such as soap, lip balm, hair spray, toothpaste, etc. This laminated card lives in my overnight case, and I keep a duplicate in my suitcase. I hope this helps someone.

Downsizing, TV style: Goodbye to Spelling Manor LOS ANGELES (AP) — Granted, it’s a problem that maybe 1 percent of Americans could ever face: a 30-day deadline to move out of a 56,500-square-foot home after two decades of filling it with “stuff,” as owner Candy Spelling puts it.

The widow of TV producer Aaron Spelling (”Dynasty,” “Charlie’s Angels” and scads more shows) takes on the task with such can-do spirit that it’s easy to admire her, if not quite sympathize with her.

The process, involving 30 moving vans and meticulous planning by the uber-organized Spelling, is detailed in HGTV’s two-part “Selling Spelling Manor,” which debuts 9 p.m.

EST Thursday. The second episode airs 4 p.m. EST Jan. 2.

“I took my attachment and separated myself from it,” Spelling said. “I couldn’t get emotional about everything I was packing.”

Spelling, whose husband died in 2006, sold the French-style house on 4.7 acres in the city’s exclusive Holmby Hills section for $85 million in July. The buyer was British heiress Petra Ecclestone, 22, daughter of sports entrepreneur Ber nie Ecclestone.

The one-month escrow was part of the deal and not a TV stunt, said Spelling and the special’s executive producer, Stuart Krasnow.

As Spelling, her staf f and movers scurry to pack up Spelling Manor (as the family dubbed the estate), viewers get a peek at some of its five kitchens, 27 bathrooms and bowling alley, arcade, and silver storage and gift-wrap “specialty areas.”

“She’s Martha Stewart up there,” Krasnow said of the space in which Spelling would wrap close to 1,000 presents a year. “It’s her way of saying I didn’t assign this to somebody.

The generosity was important to me to show.”

In this undated image released by HGTV/Scripps Networks, LLC., Candy Spelling, wife of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling, is shown in front of a generic "For Sale" sign taken to promote Spelling's HGTV special "Selling Spelling Manor."

Besides the furniture and artwork occupying Southern California’s largest house, Spelling had to evaluate her varied collections for donation, sale or storage.

“Only when I started moving did I start to think I have tendencies to be a hoarder,” Spelling said, good-naturedly, then added: “I’m an archivist.

That makes it sound a little better, doesn’t it?”

Among her acquisitions: thousands of stuffed Beanie Babies, the result of urging her household to stuff themselves with McDonald’s Happy Meals; hundreds of rare Madame Alexander

dolls from the 1930s to the 1970s; 5,000 bound scripts from her husband’s TV series.

The Beanie Babies were set for sale on eBay, with proceeds going to the nonprofit organization LA’s Best, which benefits afterschool programs; Spelling is a board member.

Aaron Spelling’s scripts are being donated to Boston University, while the rare dolls are to be sold at auction. A climatecontrolled warehouse is getting the bulk of the house’s contents for Candy Spelling and children Tori (of “Beverly Hills 90210” and reality series fame) and Randy to gradually sort through.

Spelling’s new home is a custom-built condo, reportedly purchased for $47 million, on the top two floors of a Los Angelesarea high-rise. It’s about the size of the 17,000-square-foot attic she left behind.

That means serious downsizing. But she’s getting a rose garden, albeit a fraction of the ones at Spelling Manor, and a pool with an expansive city view.

It’s part of a new, relatively simpler lifestyle, said Spelling, who is still attending black-tie events but has traded “ball gowns and huge jewelry” for simpler evening dresses.

“I’m guess I’m more mature

and not so insecure. Aaron put a big importance on a lot of that and was really very thrilled to give it all to me. But I’m glad to not have to be bothered with it,” said Spelling, 66, who wryly called herself a “trophy wife” in the past.

She hopes the recently married Ecclestone will create her own happy family history at the manor. For Candy Spelling and her offspring, the memories and even the Halloween memorabilia remain to be divided.

“Both Tori and Randy mentioned the witch with the cauldron. I hope there’s not a little fight over that,” Spelling said.

Madonna to release first album in Live Nation deal LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Material Girl is finally going to make good on her promise to produce new albums under an allencompassing rights deal worth $120 million that she signed with concert promoter Live Nation more than four years ago.

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Remain as mellow as possible. Pressure builds quickly, as you could be judging yourself a little too much. Let go of this internal conversation.

Go of f and accomplish what you must. Tonight: Easy works.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) While many people stress out as a misunderstanding sets in, you find unusual solutions. A change in perspective might be absolutely necessary. You have a strong drive and a need to achieve. Your goal could be a social and/or personal one. Tonight: Fun and games, of the TGIF variety.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are well anchored and determined to achieve exactly what you want. Stay light with a family member who often has to speak of gloom and doom in the name of realism. Have you considered that you might be too gracious? Still, express your uniqueness. Tonight: At home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are full of fun and excitement. Listen to your inner voice about a misunderstanding. What purpose does a misunderstanding serve but to push someone away? Rarely does that behavior serve you in the long run. Give it up!

Tonight: Make a caring gesture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of what you have to of fer — not everything can be measured in financial or monetary ter ms. A loved one could create quite a smoke screen. You might want to express your depth and caring to another person in a way that counts. Tonight: Bring others together for a fun activity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You are all smiles and move through a hassle easily. You might want to do something very dif ferent. Do just that.

Some of you want to explore a new, different or updated neighborhood.

Others might have different fancies. If you’re at work,

MTV names Katy Perry its 1st artist of the year

NEW YORK (AP) — Katy Perry’s run of No. 1 singles has earned her the distinction of becoming MTV’s first artist of the year.

Perry topped Adele after a spirited discussion among MTV’s internal panel of experts, the network said Thursday. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” was chosen top song of 2011, said Amy Doyle, the network’s chief of music programming.

MTV also declared Skrillex its electronic dance music artist of the year over David Guetta.

Different parts of MTV would make “best of” lists in the past, but the network wanted to establish a franchise that brought all its online and TV arms together and emphasized MTV’s music roots, Doyle said. The network, established in 1981, hopes it becomes an annual thing. Seven panelists made the final choice, and their deliberations were featured in MTV programming this week.

“Rolling in the Deep” was an obvious selection as top song, Doyle said. Runnersup were Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” and Rihanna’s “We Found Love.”

“I loved the song the moment I wrote it,” Adele said. “The melody and the beat added some conviction to it. I think that’s why people connected with it.”

Perry’s achievement of tying Michael Jackson’s “Bad” as the only albums to yield five No. 1 singles was particularly impressive, Doyle said.

ENTERTAINMENT

JACQUELINE BIGAR YOUR HOROSCOPE

open up to a new idea.

Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to vanish and play it low-key.

Your innate creativity points to an imaginative

flight of fancy. Others try to get you to land, to no avail.

Take action later, when you’re grounded. Tonight: Not to be found. Let others wonder.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want. A meeting plays a significant role in your plans. You could be confused about a domestic or personal matter. Put this issue on the back burner for now. Let a key person know that you both have been a victim of a misunderstanding. Tonight: Friends will want to join

you wherever you are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) Pressure builds wherever you are.

You feel overly responsible, as if you must per for m.

You jump through some unnecessary hoops. Stop and indulge yourself a little. Buy yourself that coveted item. Tonight: In the limelight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) You discover the importance of breaking past a selfimposed barrier. You will see situations more clearly and feel better ultimately.

Make plans before it is too late to meet a friend or loved one halfway during the next few weeks. Swapping gifts in a new setting could be fun. Tonight: Let your mind relax to great music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18) You might believe you are too dependent on another person. Don’t worry about it.

You are far more independent than you realize. Relax and enjoy this person in your life. Tonight: Try to live more in your heart than your head.

Roswell Daily Record PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others come toward you and share a lot of themselves. In a professional situation, you might not mind — personally, you could feel burdened by some of what is said and feel that in some way you are the cause of the problem. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”
