St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church held its Advent Festival on Sunday. Musicians and singers from several churches in Roswell joined the church’s choir and performed sacred music and hymns.

Some big names in aerospace industry are looking at the Roswell International Air Center as a potential home.

Roswell/Chaves County Economic Development Executive Director John Mulcahy told the Airport Committee that Raytheon Company representatives expressed interest in the RIAC as a potential location.

“I was in Washington, D.C., for four days recently, and there are two companies that are interested in the air center,” Mulcahy said.

Raytheon Company is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, security and civil markets around the world.

The company has been around for 92 years, and Raytheon provides state-ofthe-art electronics, mission

systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing, effects and command, control, communications and intelligence systems.

The company also provides a broad range of mission support services, according to the company website, Raytheon.com.

“Raytheon is a huge international company and they would be the ideal tenant for the air center,” Mulcahy said.

Northrop Grumman Corporation is another large which has industry expressed interest in Roswell.

According to the corporate website, Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned sys-

Man gets more than Gonzales needs volunteers, toys for 9 years for drugs, firearms charges Christmas Eve giveaway at Yucca STAFF REPORT

A Roswell man was sentenced Monday to 111 months in federal prison on convictions of firearms and drug trafficking charges.

Raymond Lariva, 31, was also sentenced late Monday afternoon in federal court in Las Cruces to three years of supervised release following his 9.25-year prison sentence.

According to court records, on Dec. 31, 2012, an officer of the Roswell Police Department encountered Lariva while responding to a call. The officer, who recognized Lariva and was aware of a pending state warrant for his arrest, attempted to make contact with Lariva, but Lariva ran away and a foot chase ensued.

During the chase, police said Lariva threw a small black pouch over his shoulder followed by a cellphone case, identification card and other items.

After Lariva was apprehended and arrested, police reported retrieving the black pouch, which held numerous small bags containing methamphetamine.

On Jan. 3, 2013, after authorities reviewed recorded telephone calls Lariva made while in state custody, officers found a

loaded pistol and Lariva’s cellphone on the rooftop of a building in the area the foot chase had occurred.

On Oct. 15, 2013, Lariva was transferred to federal custody to face related federal charges in a criminal complaint that had been filed in January 2013. The state charges subsequently were dismissed in favor of federal prosecution.

Lariva was indicted on federal charges on Jan. 15, 2014, and charged with possession of meth with intent to distribute, using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

The federal indictment alleged that Lariva committed the offenses in Chaves County, on Dec. 31, 2012.

At the time, Lariva was prohibited from possessing firear ms or ammunition because he had been convicted of robbery, possession of a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit burglary and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Lariva on July 29, 2014, pleaded guilty to the three federal counts, without the benefit of a plea agreement.

The Community Volunteer Program is preparing to spread some holiday cheer beginning this Sunday.

Community Volunteers, led by Johnny Gonzales, is in the process of collecting toys and canned foods for local residents.

Gonzales will have a sign-up for Christmas food baskets at 7 p.m. tonight at Comfort Suites, located at 3610 N. Main St. in Roswell. People can register for one of the 150 food baskets Gonzales plans to distribute this weekend.

“The food baskets will be distributed this Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Ponderosa Center,” Gonzales said. “We can still use some help with the canned foods.”

Students at Gateway Christian Elementary collected toys in a toy drive over the last two weeks and presented the toys to Gonzales on Tuesday.

Gonzales said the toys will be distributed at 7 p.m. on Dec. 24 at the Yucca Community Center.

Gonzales said he expects about 1,000 children to come out for Christmas gifts.

“I’ve been doing this for

Racing panel concerned with enforcement backlog ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Regulators who oversee New Mexico’s horse racing industry said Tuesday they are grappling with a significant enforcement backlog after adopting tougher sanctions and boosting testing for illicit drugs.

Racing Commission Director Vince Mares told members of the Legislative Finance Committee it could take until mid-2016 for the panel to clear its backlog of cases against owners and trainers accused of violating state racing and doping rules.

The bottleneck comes when cases are challenged in court, a process that can take a year, Mares said.

Defendants are often granted the right to keep racing while the findings are appealed, and he said that has created the perception that the state isn’t doing anything to crack down on cheaters.

“These trainers and owners are still running their horses. The perception that nothing is being done is a valid perception, but it’s beyond the commission’s control,” he said.

Lawmakers and racing officials discussed the possibility of hiring a dedicated attorney to handle the commission’s cases rather than funneling prosecutorial duties through the state attorney general’s office.

Another option would be classifying a first offense as a misdemeanor, which would clear the way for local district attorneys and judges to handle the cases.

Legislative staffers were directed Tuesday to consult with regulators and the attorney general’s office so a possible fix could be drafted before the Legislature meets in January for a 60-day session.

According to commission and court data, a total of

500 drug violations have been levied against owners and trainers since 2012.

That spiked in 2013, when tougher sanctions were adopted in an ef fort to clean up the industry.

In 2012, an investigation

by The New York T imes found that New Mexico’s five racetrack-casinos collectively had the worst safety record in the nation and that lax rules allowed trainers to illegally drug their horses with near impunity.

Racing Commission Chair man Rob Doughty said the state has made great strides and is on the verge of doing even more drug testing when additional funding becomes available in January. However, he and others voiced concerns about the enforcement backlogs, the qualifications of trainers and the challenges of tracking horses that are traf ficked between licensed venues

and so-called bush tracks where unsanctioned races are held.

Rick Baugh, general manager at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino, said bush tracks are the source for many of the industry’s problems. For example, horses will be doped for unsanctioned events and then collapse when they return to licensed tracks.

Baugh said the licensed tracks are stepping up as best they can but enforcement will come down to providing the commission with more resources.

Rep. Candy Ezzell, RRoswell, said many states are now looking to New Mexico as it moves ahead with its reforms.

“It all boils back down to what the attorney general and the judges are doing to get these bad players out of our state,” said Ezzell, a horse owner herself.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup has released a list of clergy members it considers to have been credibly accused of sexually abusing children in cases that stretch back decades in New Mexico and Arizona.

accusation of sex abuse against a minor.

Previously, the diocese released the names of 11 priests linked to such cases. The new list adds 20 other names, but does not include other details.

The Associated Press has not published the names because the allegations have not been inde-

pendently verified, and it’s not clear whether any of those accused have been charged.

In his statement, Wall said victims should contact police if they recognized their abusers on the list. He also said the diocese’s investigation into molestation claims wasn’t finished.

LAS CRUCES (AP) — A man convicted of assaulting a New Mexico sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Clemente De La Cruz was sentenced Monday. He was convicted of aggravated assault on a peace officer with intent to kill, tampering with evidence and resisting, evading and obstructing an officer trying to make an arrest.

A Dona Ana County sheriff’s deputy reported seeing De La Cruz make a traffic violation on April 15, 2013.

12/13/1989 ~ 5/20/2011 Victoria’s birthday is here once again and all the joyful memories of past birthday celebrations are now replaced with so many tears and so much pain; while Jose Arias, the man that brutally murdered her, got out of prison in July after just a few short months. He gets to go on with HIS life while her 2 little girls have to grow up without their mommy. Her 2 sisters still cry for her, Her daddy still mourns her death. The justice system failed her and our family. We will not allow her memory to fade nor be forgotten. At every opportunity we will shout this message to Victims of Domestic Violence: There may be those out there like Jose Arias that are cowards and are not man enough to attack someone who is bigger and stronger than them and could hurt them back. No, like cowards they attack only those weaker than themselves – they do kill their prey and go off and hide and move on to their next victim. Remember you are not alone. There are places like the Roswell Refuge that are just a call away. The Spanish name of Victoria means “VICTORY” and our family prays that as you remember Victoria that our tragedy will help you have “the VICTORY” over any domestic violence situation in your life. Please reach out and live.

So Victoria, we celebrate your life, your contagious laughter and that beautiful smile that would lift up our spirits. All the good memories are what give us the strength to go on day by day.

A review of internal reports, emails and audits obtained by The Santa Fe New Mexican shows the agency was overwhelmed by even relatively modest requests for relief.

Officials in San Miguel County say torrential rains forced a disaster to be declared in 2013 but it was nearly a year before the department came out to assess the damage.

The county’s unfavorable experience with the department wasn’t a first.

“All the pettiness that was going on affected every jurisdiction because the local governments weren’t getting what they needed from the state,” Flores said.

San Miguel County Manager Les Montoya shared his frustration in an April letter to State Auditor Hector Balderas and former department Secretary Gregory A. Myers.

During the past year, the airport management has painted the hangar, which made the hangar inaccessible for six weeks. The airplanes also had to be cover ed with plastic to keep them fr om being painted with overspray.

“There are places on the floor where you can see the paint came in through the cracks, but no airplanes wer e damaged,” Corn said.

The rent increase on the hangar for 2015 will be 2.8 per cent, or $36 a month, Property Manager Scott Stark told the committee.

Brady said repairs to the Hangar 91 roof are expected to begin soon. She added that she was unaware of the wire problem that Corn’s group was having.

The committee voted to approve the rate hike. The lease agreements move on to the City Council for final approval in January.

“Our lease rates have been pretty low,” said Steve Henderson, city councilor and chairman of the Airport Committee.

Corn asked if the committee would consider allowing the group to have a five-year lease in the future.

OPINION

INDIANAPOLIS — If success at the state level were enough to recommend someone for president of the United States, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana would be among the frontrunners for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

According to the governor’s office, Pence has “signed into law $643 million in annual tax relief: That includes: $313 million for hardworking Hoosiers, thanks to last year’s 5 percent income tax reduction, the largest state tax cut in Indiana history.” In addition, the state corporate tax rate was reduced from 6.5 percent to 4.9 percent, making it the third lowest in the country and contributing to Indiana’s increase in the labor force, which, Pence’s office says, has grown by more than 51,000 over the past year, five times the national growth rate.

It helps to have large majorities of one’s party in the Legislature, but Pence consults and has good relationships with Democrats, who frequently vote with the Republican majority because his programs work.

a congressman.

A former Democrat (like his ideological mentor Ronald Reagan), Pence sees a need to transform his party’s image: “The Republican Party has become just the other party to Washington solutions. We have to get back to advancing state-based solutions and reforms.

We must be relentlessly optimistic.”

He paraphrases a Reagan line: “‘Why shouldn’t we dream great dreams, after all we’re Americans.’

There was a confidence and optimism I think our party would do well to repair to. ... There’s a lot wrong with our national government, but we’ve got to stop confusing our national government with our nation.”

That’s a good line for a stump speech.

Pence wants to move from opposing bad ideas in Washington, to focusing on the success records in many states. For example, Pence’s education agenda includes a goal of taking children in underperforming schools and putting them in good schools: “By the year 2020, I want 100,000 more Indiana

Gov. Mike Pence: National government is not the nation CAL

THOMAS SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

Sitting with the governor in his high-ceiling office beneath portraits of two Indiana governors who became presidents of the United States William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison — Pence tells me he is focused on the upcoming legislative session, which is expected to last four months, and won’t think seriously about running for president until the session ends. Then, he says, “We’ll probably take some time as a family to reflect and pray and make decisions about our future.”

In his mind, Pence may have already crafted a winning scenario.

He may be focused on his state, but he thinks a lot about the country, which he served for 10 years as

students in high-quality schools than we have today. Today, we have 105,000 kids who are in underperforming or failing schools.” He wants to fix traditional schools, pay good teachers more, giving bonuses to the best, and expand vocational education to every high school in the state. “We have the largest education voucher program in America. I want to expand that by lifting the cap and encouraging more private investment.” Indiana also has 75 charter schools.

Pence declines an invitation to comment on former Gov. Jeb Bush’s recent remarks about having to lose the primary in order to win the general election, which many conservatives view as an attack on the party’s base.

If Hillary Clinton becomes the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, I asked, is she beatable?

Pence answers indirectly, saying he thinks 2016 will be the first foreign policy election since 1980 and that as a former secretary of state, Clinton will have some advantages.

That’s why he thinks the eventual

GOP nominee should do as George W. Bush did in 2000: Name a group of advisers with strong foreign policy credentials to advise him during a campaign and, if he is successful, some might serve in his administration.

Mike Pence is a model of humility and restraint. While some characterize Obama as a failed president, Pence will only label his tenure “disappointing.” That in itself is in sharp contrast to the hubris, narcissism and self-awareness of Obama. Humility, coupled with a proven track record of success and more confidence in the states and the people, is what’s needed at the national level. Mike Pence could be the one to bring it.

EDITORIAL

Americans seem to embrace idea of ‘more guns, less crime’

Economist and columnist John Lott seems to have said it best in the title of his book, “More Guns, Less Crime.” Using state, county and city crime data, Mr. Lott argued that more guns and looser gun laws raise the cost of committing crime because a would-be criminal is more likely to encounter someone with the means to protect himself or herself, and thus the criminal is less likely to risk being injured or killed in the effort.

Americans seem to be increasingly embracing this idea. According to a November Gallup poll, 63 percent of Americans believe having a gun in the house makes the home safer, a marked and steady increase from the 35 percent who said so in a 2000 Gallup poll. Just 30 percent feel it makes the home more dangerous, down from 51 percent in 2000.

Despite media portrayals of high-profile school shootings and occasional tragic gun accidents as evidence of an epidemic of gun violence, the truth is that gun violence has been declining dramatically for a long time, both in the home and outside of it. National Safety Council data reveal that accidental gun deaths in the home have dropped 60 percent over the past 20 years, and now make up just 0.6 percent of such unintentional fatalities.

Crimes committed with guns have also dropped steadily for over 20 years. And since that 2000 Gallup poll, the rates of crimes committed with a firearm are down 23 percent for murder, 26 percent for robbery and 15 percent for aggravated assault, with all but the latter falling even faster than the overall crime rates.

During this time, state restrictions on carrying concealed weapons have been relaxed — the number of “shall-issue” concealedcarry states has increased from 31 to 42 — and gun sales and trade show attendance are now at record levels. The FBI conducted more than 21 million background checks for gun purchases in 2013 — nearly 2.5 times the number of checks in 2000.

Contrary to gun-control advocates’ warnings of blood running in the streets if government does not further restrict access to guns, the easing of gun laws and the rising number of guns sold has coincided with significantly less gun crime and fewer gunrelated accidents. It turns out that punishing criminal behavior, while allowing lawabiding citizens the tools with which to defend themselves and their families, leads to both a freer and safer society.

Who to pick, the run away or the ex-POW? On election night in 1986, when John McCain won the U.S. Senate seat in Arizona long held by Republican incumbent and 1964 GOP presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, who had served as McCain’s campaign chairman, the two men had a private chat. Goldwater, McCain recalled, got “a little nostalgic” and said: “You know, John, if I had beaten Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and been elected president, you would not have spent all those years in that North Vietnamese prison camp.” McCain, mindful of Goldwater’s hawkish positions, answered: “You’re right, Barry. If you had been elected president in 1964, I wouldn’t have spent all those years in a prison camp in Hanoi. I would have spent them in a prison camp in China.”

MARK SHIELDS SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

It was in the 2000 New Hampshire presidential primary when McCain’s campaign taught this occasionally cynical observer what an American political campaign at its best might be. Vastly outspent by the money machine of the prohibitive Republican favorite, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, underdog McCain responded by holding 114 town hall meetings in the Granite State, in which he would stand alone and answer, with rare candor and humor, voters’ questions.

For example, asked when the Senate might pass a so-called “patient’s bill of rights” bill, McCain bluntly explained: “We won’t. Not as long as the insurance companies control my party and the trial lawyers control the Democratic Party. Next question.”

It worked. While advocating campaign finance refor m, McCain, in a major upset, defeated Bush in New Hampshire by 18 percent.

But what impressed me most about that New Hampshire campaign was the willingness of the men who, as prisoners of war, had for years endured with McCain unspeakable brutality at the hands of their North Vietnamese captors to work in his behalf. McCain’s Hanoi cellmate — when the Arizonan wasn’t in solitary — Medal of Honor recipient and

Air Force pilot Bud Day, Marine aviator Orson Swindle, who was held prisoner for six years, and Navy aviator Everett Alvarez, the longest-held U.S. prisoner of the Vietnam War, were willing to come to New Hampshire, knock on doors and testify to voters about the courage and character of their comrade John McCain.

At the same time U.S. Navy pilot McCain was being abused in Hanoi, back in Wyoming young Dick Cheney was petitioning for another of his five deferments to avoid the draft call to serve, which the law then required all able-bodied men to do, in the U.S. military and, possibly, to face combat. Thirty years later, Cheney would publicly explain his conduct: “I had

Celiac disease, gluten sensitivity are separate conditions DEAR DOCTOR K: Many people I know are going gluten-free. When I as k t hem w h y , I h ea r about gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. What do these terms mean?

DEAR READER: Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are two separate conditions with one thing in common: gluten. Gluten is a protein found in anything made with grains such as wheat, rye or barley. Gluten is what makes breads chewy.

Celiac disease is a disorder in which the body can’t tolerate gluten. The gluten triggers an immune reaction, causing inflammation of the lining of the sm a ll i n tes ti n e . I n t h e short term, a person with

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

celiac disease may experie nc e g a s, b l o at i n g , a bd o m in a l cr a mp s a n d fatigue.

Celiac disease also can cause symptoms in parts of the body distant from t he g u t , i n cl u d i n g t h e brain, bones and kidneys.

Over time, if the problem remains unchecked, celiac disease damages the small intestine so that it can’t

properly absorb nutrients from food. This can result in diarrhea, weight loss, an em i a, m aln ut rit io n, joint pain, osteoporosis and even infertility. (On m y web sit e, A sk Do ct or K. com , I ’v e p ut an illustration showing the ef f ec t of g lu ten on t he intestines of someone with celiac disease.)

Diagnosing celiac disease generally requires a blood test and a biopsy.

During the biopsy, a small sample is snipped from the wall of the small intestine and checked under a microscope for damage.

The treatment for celiac disease is a completely gl ut en - fr ee d ie t. Th is st o ps t he h ar m fu l immune reaction in the

gu t , a nd t h e sym p t om s the disease can have outside the gut. And it also allows the intestinal lining to heal.

We used to think of celiac disease as primarily in vo lvi ng c hi ldr en an d being very severe. And it can be. Even a crumb of food with gluten can trigger such massive diarrhea t h at a c hi ld can d ie of dehydration if he or she doesn’t get prompt treatment.

But as our tests for the disease have gotten better, we’ve recognized that the disease can produce much milder symptoms and can start later in adult life.

Gluten sensitivity is a recently recognized illness that is different from celi-

ac disease. We don’t yet understand it, and some d oct or s d on ’ t b e lieve it really exists. People with this condition have celiac d isease- lik e sym p t om s but do not test positive for celiac d i sease. T h ese patients are often asked to remove all gluten from their diet. If their symptoms impr ove, they ar e usually diagnosed with gluten sensitivity.

Gluten is found in foods su ch as p ast a, b r ead , wheat cereals and many baked goods. It can also be in less obvious items such as sauces, soups, salad dressings, medications and candy.

grocery store shelves. And there are many alter natives for foods traditionally m ad e wit h gr ain s — everything from rice pasta to millet, quinoa or chickpea flour. I used to be a skeptic. Today I encourage p at ien t s wh o t h in k they may be gluten sensitive to try a gluten-free diet. And to stick with it if it makes them feel better.

Request from local Elks; a soldier’s crushing letter Roswell Daily Record

Ralph Brown, chairman of Roswell’s Elks Lodge No. 969 Charity Golf Program, recently shared some important information with me that needs to be spread around the Southeast New Mexico area. Ralph commented, “The Roswell Elks Lodge has helped over 77 Wounded Warrior families in the Roswell community with funds from the New Mexico Elks Association (NMEA) Veteran Services Wounded Warrior Project.

Since our fundraiser in September, the Roswell Elks Lodge Wounded Warrior funds have assisted 18 local veterans and their families with a little over $18,000 in assistance.

We have helped with utility bills, rent assistance, groceries, car repairs, medical bills, and the list goes on. All of these veterans turn to us as they had exhausted all other avenues, and we were able to provide a little light at the end of their tunnel.

the Democrat controlled Senate. To set the stage, imagine you are a young man or woman right out of school and you decide to make the United States military your career. After all, the military recruiters showed you that a military career is one of the best choices for you and your family, and it is, no doubt.

So, wishing to put in the hard work necessary to achieve family security and also serve your country at the same time, you sign up for a military flight program. You bust your posterior to qualify for rigorous training, meet each level of certification, write home to the wife and kids that you only have one week left (“touch and go” landing qualification) and you graduate, assuring career goals for you and your family.

Then, It happens! The (actual letter) from your government is received saying (this is an excerpt from a real notification): “From: Chief of Naval Personnel.

Subj: Release from active duty- information concern-

ing; (1) Recent fiscal restraints dictate that the navy substantially reduce the size of the officer corps.

Those prescribed reductions have resulted in the release of many of our Junior Grade officers prior to the expiration of their initial obligated active duty.

“The severity of these cutbacks now makes it mandatory that the number of officers who are in the flight training program be significantly reduced. Accordingly, orders effecting your release from active duty will be issued in the near future which will provide for your separation not later than Sept. 18.

“Subject to this terminal date, the orders may be executed at any time mutually convenient to you and your commanding officer.

(2) Prior to your release from active duty, your record will be reviewed.

Subsequent to your separation, you are encouraged to affiliate with a unit of the Ready Reserve. Information on the Naval Reserve Program as well as an applica-

tion for affiliation may be obtained from the Naval Reserve Activity nearest your home. Your orders will indicate that you are being involuntarily released from active duty by reasons of strength adjustments. For your information, the Selective Service Headquarters advises that as a Reserve Officer released from active duty you will not be subject to induction. “(3) It is regretted that circumstances described above require the termination of your active duty.

Your acceptance into the Navy flight training program is of itself an accomplishment for which you can be justly proud. Your active service to date is sincerely appreciated and I wish you every success in your future endeavors.”

Next week, I’ll explain why this is the beginning of a dangerous time for our country, enacted by our current government, during one of the most dangerous times in our country’s history. God bless.

From tractors and trains to cats and knights, my son’s evolving obsessions all find a place on our Christmas tree.

Like many families, we buy a new ornament each year, and I often seek out something that represents my son’s current interests, in hopes that he’ll enjoy looking back as an adult and remembering the year he loved spaceships or Legos.

(OK, the Legos have lasted more than a year, and if it were up to him, the whole tree would be covered in plastic bricks.) Finding such ornaments can be tricky,

however, and expensive. So this year I looked around for ways to turn his existing toys into ornaments.

For items made out of softer plastic, try screwing a small eye hook (often found with picture hanging supplies) into the top of the toy to create a hanger. The blog Dollar Store Crafts took this approach a step further, attaching hooks to plastic dinosaur toys and covering them with glitter for a bit of extra sparkle.

For items made of harder plastic, metal or other tough materials, a little ribbon and hot glue could do the trick.

But I achieved a more polished look using a product called Sugru. Described as a “mouldable glue,” Sugru looks and feels like Play-Doh right out of the package, but cures into silicone rubber overnight.

I turned one of my son’s toy cat figurines and several Lego minifigures into ornaments simply by rolling bits of Sugru into balls, sticking them onto the items, and embedding small metal split rings (from the jewelry findings section of the craft store) into the Sugru.

It also noted t h at w hen S i er r a was do in g a f r ee t h r ow t he BMS spectators and team did not yell or stomp their feet like the students and par ents fr om the other side did, but I do have to say we have experienced this with one of the other middle schools. I guess two out of two isn’t bad.

My message to Berrendo Middle School coaches, staff and students is that BMS may have lost the game due to circumstances beyond their control; it was not lack of talent. They can still hold their hands high knowing they played their best in spite of the road blocks and all the while displaying good sportsmanship.

Norman Bridwell, Clifford creator, dead at 86

Norman Bridwell, a soft-spoken illustrator whose impromptu story about a girl and her puppy marked the unlikely birth of the supersized franchise Clifford the Big Red Dog, has died at 86.

Bridwell, who lived for decades in a house with a bright red door on Martha’s Vineyard off Cape Cod in Massachusetts, died Friday at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, where he had been for about three weeks after a fall at home in Edgartown, his wife, Norma, said.

He suffered from several ailments, including a recurrence of prostate cancer, she said. He passed peacefully with family members at his bedside, she said.

Starting in 1963 with “Clifford, the Big Red Dog,” Bridwell wrote and illustrated more than 40 Clifford books, from “Clifford and the Grouchy Neighbors” to “Clifford Goes to Hollywood.” More than 120 million copies have sold worldwide, along with cartoons, a

A service for Michael Leon Robertson, 57, of Alamogordo, NM, will be held at Anderson-Bethany Chapel in Roswell, NM, Sunday, December 21, 2014 at 2:00 pm. There will be no graveside service.

Michael went to heaven December 9, 2014 near Carrizozo, NM. Michael was known by many as Cowboy or Uncle Cowboy. He was born February 11, 1957 in Roswell, NM to Marion (Robbie) Robertson and Patsy Robertson. He worked for CCI in Alamogordo, NM, but he was a jack of many trades. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do or couldn’t fix. He was also a volunteer firefighter. For many years, he earned his living as a truck driver. He took the time to teach a very special man, Ralph Fairbanks of Henderson, NV, how to drive a truck so that he could obtain a CDL. For that, Ralph has always been grateful. He supported his family for over 30 years, thanks to Michael.

Michael is survived by a large, loving family that will deeply miss him. His sons, Randy Robertson and his wife Leslie of Roswell, NM, Mike Robertson and his wife Hannah of Roswell, NM, Eric Kilgore of Albuquerque, NM, Dustin Robertson of Loveland, CO, and Clayton Cagle and his wife Amber of Marion, Ohio. His siblings, Kay Manning and her husband Rick of Albuquerque, NM, Debbie Coker of Roswell, NM, Terri Newburn and her husband Ronald of Casper, WY, Jerry Robertson and his wife Judy of Oklahoma, and Teena Shelton and her husband Les of Roswell, NM. His grandchildren, as wonderful as they come, Riley Robertson, Lindsey Robertson, Sariya Robertson, Demi Robertson, Jonah Kennon, and Kameron Kennon. He also has numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents Robbie and Patsy Robertson.

“A lot of people were Clifford fans and that makes them Norman fans, too,” said his wife of 56 years.

nighttime reading for countless families and a money machine for publisher Scholastic Inc. Spinoffs include cartoons with John Ritter as the voice of Clifford and future “Hunger Games” novelist Suzanne Collins among the script writers.

Scholastic, which became a top children’s publisher thanks in part to Clifford, installed bright red cushions on the chairs in the corporate headquarters’ auditorium in New York. Scholastic had been in business for decades before Clifford, but the series’ success inspired the publisher to look for other stories with brand appeal, including “Goosebumps,” “The Magic School Bus” and “I Spy.” Bridwell had completed two more Clif ford books to be released next year, Scholastic said in a statement.

In his pre-Clifford life, Bridwell was a filmstrip and slide illustra-

tor, trying to break into children’s publishing to support his family.

His work had been rejected all over New York when an editor at Harper & Row (now HarperCollins) suggested he try writing a story to go with a picture he had submitted of a child and her horse-sized dog. Bridwell’s idea: Thanks to the girl’s affection, a puppy —the runt of the litter — grows into a klutzy but goodhearted behemoth, as big as the lighthouses on the author’s imaginary “Birdwell Island.” A nearby paint container inspired Bridwell to color Clifford fire engine red.

Bridwell had sketched a bloodhound because he wanted one while growing up and he named the girl Emily Elizabeth, after his daughter. He planned to call the dog “Tiny,” but his wife, Norma, suggested “Clifford,” the name of an imaginary friend she had as a child. Bridwell spent a weekend working up a story.

Every Child Deserves A Little Christmas”

Look for a Toys For Tots poster in the window of businesses or come to the office of the Roswell Daily Record and help the Marines this year by dropping off a new, unwrapped toy.

The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program is a campaign that collects toys for needy chil dren. Since 1947, Marines have fulfilled the dreams of millions of less fortunate children each Christmas. They do this by pro viding Christmas toys. A shiny new toy sends a message to a needy child that someone cares; that he or she hasn’t been forgot ten; that the magic of Christmas hasn’t passed him or her by.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles prosecutors on Tuesday declined to file any charges against Bill Cosby after a woman recently claimed the comedian molested her around 1974.

The rejection of a child sexual abuse charge by prosecutors came roughly 10 days after the woman, Judy Huth, met with Los Angeles police detectives for 90 minutes.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office rejected filing a misdemeanor charge of annoying

or molesting a child under the age of 18 because the statute of limitations had passed.

Days before Huth spoke to police, she accused Cosby in a civil lawsuit of forcing her to perform a sex act on him in a bedroom of the Playboy Mansion when she was 15 years old. Cosby’s attorney said that Huth attempted to extort $250,000 from the comedian before she sued and that she’d attempted to sell her story to a tabloid a decade ago.

Cosby is seeking a dis-

missal of Huth’s lawsuit, arguing it is blocked by the statute of limitations.

Huth told police that Cosby molested her and that she had no further contact with him after the incident, according to a summary of her allegations included with the prosecutor’s decision.

In rejecting the case, prosecutors evaluated the charge Cosby would have faced in 1974. Prosecutors took into account legislative changes that extend the statute of limitations for certain crimes but found no way that

W-weather, s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow flurries, sn-snow, i-ice

Cosby could be legally prosecuted.

The statute of limitations for filing a misdemeanor case is one year; the statute of limitations for a felony sex crime committed in 1974 was three years, according to the prosecutors’ analysis.

“It is our understanding that the decision not to prosecute was based on the statute of limitations and not on the merits of Ms. Huth’s claims,” Huth’s attor ney, Gloria Allred, wrote in a statement.

Singer, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Huth is one of at least 15 women who have come forward since early November with claims that Cosby sexually assaulted them decades ago. Most of the women say the comedian drugged them before he assaulted them. She is one of two women suing Cosby; a second woman is suing for defamation.

2005 lawsuit by a Pennsylvania woman was settled before it went to trial.

Since the allegations emerged, Cosby’s career has unraveled, with nearly a dozen performances canceled in his ongoing standup comedy tour. NBC has said it will not move forward with a Cosby sitcom that was under development, and Netflix indefinitely postponed a special that was set to premiere last month.

Defeated, Goddard learns a lesson Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

BY JEFF JACKSON RECORD STAFF WRITER

Coach Jared Neighbors hopes his Goddard girls basketball team watched and learned Tuesday night.

The Lady Rockets played their first home game of the season and were schooled thoroughly by LubbockHomeSchool in a 63-40 decision.

If not for trailing 2-0 15 seconds into the game, the Titans would have led wire-to-wire.

The Lady Rockets (6-4) were victims of themselves to some degree by their turnovers and missed shots which Lubbock HomeSchool turned into several fastbreak baskets.

“That team is too good to make that many mistakes, but I was proud of our kids. We could’ve easily given up so I was proud of them for that,” Neighbors said.

“Now they know what they need to work on because Lubbock was a very fundamental team. It’s just working on the fundamentals.

“We missed a lot of shots,” Neighbors said.

The T itans (7-3) played a seven-player rotation and were led by 25 points from Jauslynn Shephard and 14 from Lindsey Hoage.

In a span of two minutes, Shephard scored Lubbock’s first

two points despite a nice defensive stance from Baylee Robinson, hit back-to-back 3-pointers and followed those with a bucket and foul shot.

That sequence accounted for 11 points as her team took a 12-2 lead and never looked back.

“They were big enough that we couldn’t just focus on her,” Neighbors said. “She saw the floor extremely well and she buried us early.”

Fueled by another run, this one 10-0, the Titans led 34-11 at halftime.

Between the two large runs, Goddard was held to only five points, a bucket and free throw from Danielle Hubbard and a basket by Stephanie Kolker.

The Lady Rockets had other scoring from Desarae Flores’ 11 points (all in the fourth quarter), eight from Robinson, six apiece from Kolker and Renee Carrica, four from Esperanza Santana and two by Courtney Villalpando.

Goddard’s next action will come Dec. 29-31 when the Lady Rockets host the Goddard Holiday Classic. The Rockets will play the fourth of four games on the opening day, facing Silver at 2:30 p.m.

Other games that day will be Santa Fe Capital vs. Las Vegas Robertson at 10 a.m.; Las Cruces Centennial vs. Hatch Valley at 11:30 and Gallup Miyamura vs.

Roswell at 1 p.m.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Linebacker Chris Borland’s stellar rookie season for San Francisco is likely over.

49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said “it’d be a stretch right now” for Borland to return from an ankle injury for the final two games. San Francisco (7-7) was eliminated from playof f contention in a 17-7 loss at Seattle on Sunday.

The NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month for November, Borland was injured on the final play of the first half against the Seahawks. He was scheduled for an MRI on the ankle Monday, and Fangio said Tuesday that Borland was unlikely to play against San Diego on Saturday night or in the season finale against Arizona on Dec. 28.

NFL records reviewed

BY ROB MAADDI AP PRO FOOTBALL WRITER

Nearly 500 employees at NFL headquarters in New York turned over phone and email records to investigators looking into how Commissioner Roger Goodell and his staff pursued and handled evidence in the Ray Rice case, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because details of the investigation won’t be made public until former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III releases his report. The report is expected to be completed this month, one of the sources said.

Mueller has been investigating whether anyone at the NFL had seen or obtained video of the former Baltimore Ravens running back striking his then-fiancee inside an elevator at an Atlantic City, New Jersey casino before the video was published online.

Investigators zeroed in on phone calls made from NFL offices to numbers with a New Jersey area code.

Employees also were asked to identify certain numbers in question and investigators even called some of the numbers to verify call recipients.

A representative for Mueller, who led the FBI for 12 years under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, declined comment.

Dwyane Wade leads Miami Heat past Brooklyn Nets 95-91

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (3) stands with Miami Heat guard Shabazz Napier (13) on the court in the second half of their NBA basketball game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center, Tuesday, in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dwyane Wade scored 28 points, and the Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 95-91 on Tuesday night.

The Heat had five players score in double figures, including three reserves. Starting forward Luol Deng had 18 points, and rookie Shabazz Napier scored 11.

The game was delayed for 29 minutes in the first quarter when the installation of a new green roof at Barclays Center led to a water leak.

Mason Plumlee had 21 points and nine rebounds for Brooklyn, and Joe Johnson scored 16 points.

Deron Williams added 15 points and 11 assists.

The Heat led by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter, but the Nets closed to 93-91 on Bojan Bog-

danovic’s 3-pointer with 35 seconds left.

After a Miami timeout, Wade missed a long 3, but Bogdanovic was called for a loose ball foul on Deng, who made both free throws with 11 seconds remaining.

Jarrett Jack missed a wide-open layup following a Nets timeout. Norris Cole was then fouled by Johnson, but he missed both free throws.

Johnson’s 3-pointer at the buzzer was off the mark.

Wade scored Miami’s first 10 points of the game and had 17 at intermission. The Heat extended their lead to 15 points on several occasions in the second quarter before settling for a 55-45 halftime lead.

The Nets then opened the second

half with a 12-3 run, pulling within one on Johnson’s layup with 8:15 left in the third. But Wade then scored for the Heat, who put together an 18-8 surge to increase their advantage to 11.

Mario Chalmers had 10 points for Miami.

TIP-INS Heat: Forward Josh McRoberts likely will miss the rest of the season due to a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee. He last played on Dec. 9 in Phoenix. ... Chris Bosh has a strained calf and did not travel to Brooklyn with the team. He is sidelined indefinitely. ... The Heat, who beat the Nets 95-83 in their first meeting of the season on Nov. 17, had lost six of eight coming into the day.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A brain-injury treatment program originally designed for military veterans injured on the battlefield has been updated to include professional athletes.

Representatives with the Eisenhower Center announced Tuesday that it will be the primary facility used by the NFL Players Association for treating brain injuries and other neurological issues through the After the Impact program.

The residential neuro-rehabilitation facility is based in Ann Arbor.

The program provides intense treatment for soldiers and athletes recovering from concussions, mild traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems. It evolved from the Eisenhower Center’s transitional treatment program to help military members deal with brain injuries.

The NFL expects 6,000 of nearly 20,000 retired players — or 28 percent — to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or at least moderate dementia someday. Former players have sued.

Current Detroit Lions tight end Joseph Fauria and former quarterback Eric Hipple attended Tuesday’s announcement. “Nearly one-third of all retired NFL players will suffer from a long-term cognitive problem,� Hipple said. “The players and veterans who have gone through the After the Impact program have learned a lot from each other and helped each other.�

The College Football Playoff participants are well represented on The Associated Press All-America team.

Florida State leads the way with three first-team All-Americans: tight end Nick O’Leary, guard Tre’ Jackson and kicker Roberto Aguayo, who is an All-American for the second straight season.

Oregon and Alabama each have two, including a couple of Heisman Trophy finalists.

Heisman winner Marcus Mariota is the first Ducks quarterback to be an All-American. He is joined by Ducks cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

The second-seeded Ducks will play third-seeded Florida State on Jan. 1 at the Rose Bowl.

Crimson Tide receiver Amari Cooper, third in the Heisman voting, made the first team along with his teammate, safety Landon Collins. The topranked Tide will face fourth-seeded Ohio State and All-America defensive end Joey Bosa on New Year’s Day in the Sugar Bowl.

Florida State also had the most players on the three All-America teams with six. Receiver Rashad Greene and safety Jalen Ramsey made the second team and defensive tackle Eddie Goldman was a thirdteam selection.

Here are some things to know about the 89th AP All-America team.

SHAQ ATTACK Washington’s Shaq Thompson played offense and defense this season and excelled both ways, making him the perfect guy to be the firstteam all-purpose player.

Thompson scored six touchdowns, three by fumble return, two rushing and one by interception return. He has 456 yards rushing and is averaging 7.5 per carry. He also has 71 tackles, four fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles.

The Huskies joined Florida State as the only teams with three players on the first team. Washington also was represented by defensive tackle Danny Shelton and linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha, who leads the nation in sacks with 18.

KICKING IT Aguayo is the first kicker to be a two-time All-American since Ohio State’s Mike Nugent, though Nugent did not make the first team in consecutive seasons like the Seminoles’ star.

In this Sept. 20 file photo, Alabama defensive back Landon Collins celebrates after Alabama sacked Florida's quarterback during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The College Football Playoff participants are well represented on The Associated Press All-America team. Amari Cooper, third in the Heisman voting, made the first team along with his teammate, safety Landon Collins.

Nugent was a first-team selection in 2002 and again in 2004.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ALLAMERICAN A couple of traditional basketball powers were represented on the AllAmerica team for the first time in a while.

Duke guard Laken Tomlinson became the first Blue Devils player selected AP All-American since receiver Clarkston Hines made the first team in 1989.

Indiana running back Tevin Coleman is the first Hoosiers player to be an All-American since running back Vaughn Dunbar was a first-teamer in 1991.

CONFERENCE CALL The Pac-12 led the way with seven players on the first team, followed by the Atlantic Coast Conference with six.

The Southeastern Conference and Big Ten each had four players chosen to the first team. The Big 12 had three.

The lone player from outside the Big Five conferences to make the first team

was Colorado State receiver Rashard Higgins.

QUICK HITS — Alabama guard Arie Kouandjio was a second-team selection. His brother Cyrus, who played tackle at Alabama and is now in the NFL, was an All-American last season. — The only freshmen to make any of the three teams were Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, a redshirt freshman, and Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine, who both made the third team. — This is the third straight year Ekpre-Olomu has received All-America honors. He made the third team as a sophomore and a junior before moving to the first team this season. — UAB, which shuttered its football program after it finished the season, has a representative on the All-America teams. Receiver J.J. Nelson was selected to the third team as an allpurpose player. Nelson is 10th in the nation in all-purpose yards and leads the country in kickoff return average at 38.3 yards, with four touchdowns.

Registration dates for the Roswell Youth Soccer Association have been set for next month.

The dates for signups will be held as follows: — Jan. 13 and Jan. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m.; — Jan. 17 from 9 to 11 a.m.; — Jan. 20 and Jan. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m.; — Jan. 24 from 9 to 11 a.m.; — Jan. 27 from 6 to 8 p.m.

All registrations will be held at the Cielo Grande Soccer Complex at 1612 W. College Blvd.

Players wishing to participate in the RYSA must be between the ages of 3 and 13 and must have turned 3 by Aug. 1, 2014.

Last year more than 700 kids participated among the 91 teams in the league.

Lava on course to hit gas station, stores FINANCIAL

Roswell Daily Record

BY AUDREY MCAVOY ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU (AP) — Lava from a volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island is on course to reach a shopping center with a gas station and a supermarket in seven to 10 days, officials said Monday.

Lava is about 1 mile from the shopping center in the small town of Pahoa, said Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira.

The shopping center also contains a hardware store, pharmacy and auto repair shop.

There’s still a great deal of uncertainty about when the lava might reach the center and what it could hit. The lava could smother one structure in the complex or cover them all, he said.

“It just depends on what the flow does as it comes through,” he told reporters during a conference call.

Oliveira says the county has been in touch with the merchants about evacuation plans. The county hasn’t yet advised them to leave.

The supermarket, one of the biggest stores in the center, plans to start removing equipment on Tuesday and shut down on Thursday. Malama Market said in a statement it was encouraging customers to keep shopping until its doors close.

The gas station would sell its remaining fuel and pump out what’s leftover if it does have to evacuate, Oliveira said. It would then fill its tanks with water and firefighting foam.

This plan has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and by the state Department of Health, he said.

An earlier idea called for the gas station to put sand into the tanks, but this wouldn’t have removed all flammable vapors. It also would have destroyed the pumping system. By using firefighting foam, the gas station may use the tanks again if lava bypasses the area and it wants to reopen.

Lava has never hit a gas station on the Big Island in the past, Oliveira said.

Lava has been threatening Pahoa town, which has a population of about 900, for months. In October, it burned a house and covered part of a cemetery but stalled just before hitting Pahoa’s main road.

It later started flowing from a different spot.

The lava could still cross the town’s main road and a highway, which would make it more difficult for residents of Pahoa and the broader community of Puna to get to other parts of the island.

In this photo taken Dec. 12 and provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, the active lava flow front continues to advance downslope towards the northeast about a mile and a half from the marketplace in Pahoa, Hawaii. Officials say lava from Kilauea volcano is on course to reach a supermarket and shopping center in the small town of Pahoa in seven to ten days. Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said Monday that the lava is about one mile away from Malama Marketplace supermarket. There’s a hardware store, pharmacy and gas station in the same shopping center.

Sony under attack from hackers and ex-employees

BY BERNARD CONDON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — Threats of violence against movie theaters. Cancelled showings of “The Interview.”

Leaks of thousands more private emails. Lawsuits by former employees that could cost tens of millions in damages.

The fallout from the hack that began four weeks ago exploded Tuesday after the shadowy group calling themselves Guardians of Peace escalated their attack beyond corporate espionage and threatened moviegoers with violence reminiscent of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

The Department of Homeland Security said there was “no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot

against movie theaters,” but noted it was still analyzing messages from the group, dubbed GOP. The warning did prompt law enforcement in New York and Los Angeles to address measures to ramp up security.

Those security fears spurred Sony to allow theater chains to cancel showings of the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy “The Interview,” that has been a focus of the hackers’ mission to bring down Sony.

Carmike Cinemas, which operates 247 theaters across the country, was the first to cancel its planned screenings of the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It remains to be seen if other chains will follow suit.

GOP also released a trove of data files including 32,000 emails to and from

The filing follows another lawsuit this week from two other former Sony employees accusing the studio of being negligent by not bolstering its defenses against hackers before the attack.

It claims emails and other leaked information show that Sony’s informationtechnology department and its top lawyer believed its security system was vulnerable to attack, but that

company did not act on those warnings.

Sony, a unit of Japan’s Sony Corp., potentially faces tens of millions of dollars in damages from class-action lawsuits, said Jonathan Handel, an entertainment law professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. “It is a serious matter for Sony both in terms of dollar exposure and public perception of the brand,” he said.

In “The Interview,” Rogen and Franco star as television journalists involved in a CIA plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Speculation about a North Korean link to the Sony hacking has centered on that country’s angry denunciation of the film.

Over the summer, North Korea warned that the film’s release would be an “act of

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am a 58-year-old recent widower. My wife and I were very happy for 29 years, and that included a satisfying sex life.

Although I am not ready to date yet, I continue to have a strong sex drive.

I’m finding the Internet is a good alternative to “hooking up” at this time. However — and this is embarrassing to admit at my age — I’m beginning to wonder if I have crossed a line into spending too much time online.

My question is, how much is too much? I want to be healthy

and in balance with this, but for the first time, I understand how people can become addicted to Inter net por n. Guidelines, please?

Because you are concerned enough about the amount of time you’re spending on adult Internet sites that you’re asking me about it, I think we both know that you’re not spending enough time in the real world. If this has become so much of a preoccupation that you’re substituting porn for relationships with real people, then you are “overdosing” and could benefit from talking to a psychologist about it.

(You might find it easier to confide in one who’s male.)

—.” We have been together for 13 years, and he has never disrespected or degraded me that way before. He apologized later and said what he meant was I was acting like one (as if that’s any better), but I’m having a hard time getting past this.

When he called me that, I was stunned. I felt nauseated the rest of the day, as if he had literally punched me in the stomach. Am I wrong to react this way? Am I making a big deal out of it, and should I just accept his apology and let it go? I just feel so hurt.

DEGRADED IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR DEGRADED: People often say things they don’t mean — or something they later regret — in the heat of an argument. One slip of the tongue after 13 years together shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Accept his apology and move on already.

DEAR ABBY: I have a co-worker who is deaf.

We eat lunch together every day and usually get along well. She recently told me that when she goes out with friends, she gets drunk and then drives herself home. I tried explaining why that’s not a good idea, but she got defensive and told me she’s a grown woman and not to lecture her because it’s her decision.

I have now lost so much respect for her that I’m no longer comfortable eating with her.

What should I do?

SOBER IN SAN DIEGO

DEAR SOBER:

A deaf person has extra challenges while driving and has to be extra safety-conscious behind the wheel. Add booze to that equation, and it could mean disaster. You have spoken your mind and she has spoken hers.

Because you’re no longer comfortable eating with her, find another luncheon companion.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: Some restaurants are quite generous with FRENCH FRIES. I take them home and “recycle” them by dicing and sauteing them in a bit of olive oil, adding seasonings such as herbs or cayenne.

Refrigerate the fries when you get home, and they will hold for several days, until you’re ready to use them. It takes very little oil, and I saute them over medium heat until they are just getting nicely golden and crispy.

They’ve become one of my husband’s favorite potato dishes.

Mine, too, since it takes just a few minutes to dice and a few more minutes to prepare.

A good french fry is a sad morsel to waste! Saute some diced onions, throw in the diced fries and cook until just right for quick breakfast hash browns or what my family calls “sheepherder’s potatoes.” Sounds good for Sunday breakfast!

Dear Heloise: What is the best way to wash fruits and vegetables? Am I supposed to really wash them with soap and water?

Jim S. in Indiana

No, you don’t “wash” them with soap and water — water is all you need. The Food and Drug Administration tells us NOT to use bleach, produce wash, soap or any detergent. Produce should be “washed” using running water while you rub the surface with your hand or a paper towel. Use a vegetable brush if washing potatoes, cantaloupes or other produce with hard skins.

Dear Heloise: Pitted olives are supposed to have no pits, but the pitting machines are not perfect. It really hurts to chomp down on an olive that you assume has no pit, only to discover that you’re wrong.

When I add pitted olives to a salad or other dish, I cut them in half. This enables me to find any stray pits. It also disperses the olive flavor better.

Dear Heloise: A cool way to separate eggs is by using an empty water bottle.

My kids turn the bottle upside down, squeeze, place the opening against the yolk and let go. The yolk is pulled up into the bottle.

They then move the bottle and squeeze out the yolk. Fun and easy!

Jamie D., via email Yep, this idea has been “floating” around the Internet for a while!

The Heloise Central Test Team used a 16-ounce plastic bottle. It worked just fine, but do be sure that the bottle is clean!

Roswell Daily Record

Review: ‘The Hobbit’ wraps with a Middle-earth melee With a sum total of 1,032 minutes, Peter Jackson’s six J.R.R. Tolkien films have earned more than $5 billion worldwide. They have made New Zealand synonymous with Middle-earth. And they have slaughtered enough orcs to constitute genocide.

The sheer size of Jackson’s accomplishment — a majestic, fully realized fantasy world, from its lush landscapes down to its hairy feet — is enough to make Cecil B. DeMille blush. Across craggy mountaintops and through enchanted forests, he has set his hobbits, elves and wizards scampering to and fro, always under the threat of greed, ego and selfishness. More than anything, he has taken the stuff of fantasy seriously and rendered Tolkien’s splendid creation with love.

Sadly, all of that was true after Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The subsequent “Hobbit” trio, which is now finally sputtering to an end with “The Battle of the Five Armies,” will inevitably go down as an unneeded, unloved gratuity, a trilogy, like the second “Star Wars” run, to write of f as overkill.

The magic, fleeting to start with, is mostly gone. “The Hobbit” might have been a nice little prequel add-on to “The Lord of the Rings,” but by dividing it into three movies, Jackson and company have drained the book’s dramatic momentum.

The first, “An Unexpected Jour ney,” remains in one’s memory only for its clown-car introduction of the 13 hobbits in an interminable dinner scene I fear is just now approaching dessert. “The Desolation of

In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Martin Freeman appears in a scene from “The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies.”

Smaug,” for me the most successfully rollicking of these three, brought in (finally) another woman (Evangeline Lilly’s elf Tauriel) and Benedict Cumberbatch’s glorious dragon.

What most distinguishes “The Battle of the Five Armies” is its relative torpor. After five films of relentless forward motion, its characters always in perpetual flight, Jackson’s “Hobbit” has, as if out of gas, plopped down at the Lonely Mountain. Picking up with Smaug’s fiery escape, “Five Armies” caps “The Hobbit” with a Middle-earth melee as all forces gather around Erebor.

All the commotion doesn’t leave much room for Martin Freeman’s Bilbo Baggins. The funny, natural Freeman is one of the best things to hit Jackson’s overly earnest epic (it’s an hour into “Five Armies” before the first chuckle), but he has often been crowded out by the avalanche of characters and CGI effects.

strike Jackson as incredulous — a battle scene need not be an hour long?

The action, too, comes in Jackson’s preferred 48 frames-persecond (theater options will vary; and the film is also in 3-D), which, in the mission of greater clarity, yields a heightened artificiality. Some believe this highframe-rate is the future (James Cameron is a fan), but for now, it’s the greatest evidence that some 15 years down a Hobbit hole — both pleasingly and frustratingly far from reality — have marred Jackson’s vision.
