Wooley to fill vacant state House seat

Vol. 120, No. 14 50¢ Daily / $1 Sunday

Bob Wooley, of Roswell, was appointed by Gov. Susana Martinez to fill a vacant legislative position in the state House of Representatives on Friday.

Wooley will represent District 66, which covers parts of Chaves, Eddy, Lea and Roosevelt counties.

The post was vacated by House Minority Whip Keith Gardner, a Roswell Republican who became the governor’s chief of staff.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” Wooley, 63, said.

He added, “I’m excited, but

I don’t think it has set in quite yet.”

The Chaves County Board of Commissioners recommended Wooley to fill the position on Thursday, Jan. 13, at the urging of Gardner. The state constitution requires that county commissions in the legislative districts recommend candidates to be appointed by the governor.

Artesia Public Schools Superintendent Mike Phipps, of Eddy County, and Matt Rush, of Roosevelt County, were also considered for the position.

Gov. Martinez said in a press release that she is eager to work with Wooley

and Bill Burt, of Alamogordo, another new appointee who will serve as senator from Senate District 40.

“As we work to rebuild our economy, pass a balanced budget, and empower small businesses to start hiring again, it’s important that New Mexicans are represented by legislators with real-world experience and common sense. I look forward to working with Mr. Burt and Mr. Wooley to create policies that get our state back on track and create a brighter future for New Mexico’s families and businesses,” Gov. Martinez wrote in a statement.

Celebrating the Chinese New Year

The gover nor tapped Wooley after a quick interview, Thursday, in the Roswell Convention and Civic Center after a ribboncutting ceremony.

“What a thrill to sit down and visit with her,” Wooley said. “She’s an awesome lady, and I am so looking forward to working with her.”

Wooley first dabbled in politics in 2004, when he worked as treasurer for Gardner’s 2004 campaign against then-incumbent, Earlene Roberts. Since then, he has worked as a pipeline inspector and safety specialist for MBF Services.

Ugly mugs lure birdwatchers to Bitter Lake Visitor Center EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The promise of hot cranberry punch and cocoa served in an ugly mug was all it took to draw a crowd to the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, early Saturday evening. At least 50 people showed up for the first annual “ugly mug” contest and to watch cranes fly overhead into the ponds of the refuge.

The Friends of Bitter Lake NWR, a nonprofit organization, hosted the familyfriendly event to promote public awareness of the refuge and to increase membership.

“Some folks haven’t been out here in years, or at all,” Jimmy Masters, a board member of the nonprofit and a volunteer at the refuge, said. “So we wanted

Masters added that at least four people signed up to be a member of the Friends nonprofit.

Runners Club gives money to local groups JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Sprinting, breaking into stride and pumping their arms, runners use every ounce of their body to create movement and speed in a forward motion.

On Friday, the Roswell Runners Club pumped $6,000 into the Roswell community, through annual donations and fundraisers and its sponsorships.

“We do six races a year, four of them are benefit races,” Bob Edwards, race director of Runners Club said. “We’ve been doing this for ... years.”

Beneficiaries of the Runners Club’s donation were as follows: Altrusa of Roswell, $1,000; Lend-AHand, $1,000; MS Society of Roswell, $2,000 and Spring River Zoo $2,000.

Edwards said that the donations are “essential” for local groups and their projects.

“These funds go a long way in helping for their programs through the year,” Edwards said.

Altrusa plans to use its donation to continue to spread breast cancer awareness throughout the

community, according to Bonnie Jones, Altrusa president.

“Altrusa’s whole function is supporting the community in different projects,” she said. “We raise funds for various sources. These are ... aimed at breast cancer awareness. This money goes toward the brochures and materials that they offer at [ENMU-R’s breast cancer] program [too].”

Lend-A-Hand said that it will use its donation in compliance with its utility program, which aids individuals facing hard times and struggle to run electricity through their homes.

“Very important especially at this time of year in the winter months,” Judy Morones, executive director of Lend-A-Hand said. “It’s a little harder for people to heat their homes. People have to make the decision if they’re going to buy food or heat their homes ... something like this is a huge boost for us.”

Spring River Zoo uses its annual donation to help fund the only free zoo in New Mexico. According to Elaine Mayfield, zoo director of Spring River Zoo, Runners Club has made

Two bound in City officials, planners to hold meeting on Tuesday home invasion RECORD STAFF REPORT

Multiple subjects forced entry into a home on the 2700 block of Resolana Drive around 8:30 p.m., Thursday.

“The victims wer e bound,” said Travis Holley, spokesman for the Roswell Police Department.

The victims were ages 48 and 63.

“Neither one wer e injured,” Holley said.

According to Holley, the female victim answered the door and the suspect pushed his way into the home. The male was in the back of the house. He came out

and the suspects confronted him.

“This is a rar e and random attack,” said Holley.

He r eferr ed to the attack as brazen.

The suspects took an unspecified number of items fr om the home and their vehicle, a white Kia 2010 Sportage.

“We ar e looking for that vehicle, and we are seeking infor mation from the public,” said Holley.

He urges people to call Crime Stoppers.at 1-888-594-4877.

Callers can r emain anonymous.

City officials and planners are hosting a public information meeting, Tuesday to gather input and suggestions for the future of Roswell’s downtown.

The city is preparing to develop a master plan after seed money was awarded to Roswell by the state Economic Development Department. The $75,000 grant awarded to MainStreet Roswell, will pay for a downtown blueprint aimed at establishing a long-ter m vision for the downtown area.

“What is it that people want to see?” Michael Vickers, Roswell’s city planner, asked. “The overall goal is to get as many ideas as

possible and try to incorporate as many of them as possible.”

The master plan will cover, among other items, existing conditions and assets, the downtown market, the development of a future land use plan and design guidelines.

Vickers says it will act as a blueprint for future growth.

He encourages people to attend the meeting and make suggestions on issues such as traffic, parking, and building facades.

The meeting is slated for Jan. 18 at the Historical Society Museum Archives Building, 208 N. Lea Ave., at 5:30 p.m.

Sandhill Cranes fly in for the evening.

“They’re so wild,” Jeanne Jordan, 89, of Roswell, said. She came to watch the birds roost with her son and daughter-in-law.

It was Anna Lane’s first time coming to the refuge.

“This is my first time out here, and I’ve lived in the

area for 86 years,” Lane, 86, said.

The cranes began to fly over by 4:15 p.m. Each winter, beginning in November, thousands of cranes migrate from western Alaska and Siberia to Mexico, stopping at various refuges, including Bitter Lake, on their natural

migratory route called the Central Flyway of North America.

Established in 1937, the 24,536-acre refuge serves as an important breeding and wintering ground for various birds, fowl and geese.

When the birds fly over, Bitter Lake NWR public

use officer Steve Alvarez said, it’s a sight to see.

“It’s a natural spectacular phenomenon that occurs every fall,” he said.

Alvarez noted that the birds flew over in record numbers this season. A team of bird surveyors count the birds by sight, he said.

“King walked the walk ... a concept we try to do here in Roswell — 2011,” he said.

The breakfast was sponsored by Roswell Parks and Recreation and many others. Mike Francis’ Spice of Life band provided the music for the occasion.

Abdullah Abukusumo emceed the event, which also featured a special

presentation to former Chaves County Detention administrator Center Alfonso Solis, who accepted the event’s 2010 Humanitarian Award, presented by Landjur Abukusumo, Blackdom Memorial Inc. president.

“Some of my fellow deputy U.S. marshalls shed their blood ... in the efforts of Dr. King, so that is why this means a lot to me personally ... to be honored.”

accompanied by Astuti Abukusumo; a city proclamation, read by councilwoman Judy Stubbs and a presentation by L ynn Ditto, on behalf of U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman. The invocation and benediction was given by Dr. Richard Gorham, of Ware Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress Two 3rd-graders

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States just passed a dubious milestone: Government debt surged to an alltime high, topping $14 trillion — $45,300 for each and everyone in the country.

That means Congress soon will have to lift the legal debt limit to give the nearly maxed-out government an even higher credit limit or dramatically cut spending to stay within the current cap.

Either way, a fight is ahead on Capitol Hill, inflamed by the passions of tea party activists and deficit hawks.

Already, both sides are blaming each other for an approaching economic train wreck as Washington wrestles over how to keep the government in business and avoid default on global financial obligations.

Bills increasing the debt limit are among the most unpopular to come before Congress, serving as pawns for decades in high-stakes bargaining games. Every time until now, the ending has been the same: We go to the brink before raising the ceiling.

All bets may be off, however, in this charged political environment, despite some signs the partisan rhetoric is softening after the Arizona shootings.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says failure to increase borrowing authority would be “a catastrophe,” perhaps rivaling the financial meltdown of 2008-2009.

Congressional Republicans, flexing muscle after November’s victories, say the election results show that people are weary of big government and deficit spending, and that it’s time to draw the line against more borrowing.

Defeating a new debt limit increase has become a prior-

ity for the tea party movement and other small-government conservatives.

So far, the new GOP majority has proved accommodating. Republicans are moving to make good on their promise to cut $100 billion from domestic spending this year. They adopted a rules change by House Speaker John Boehner that should make it easier to block a debt-limit increase.

The national debt is the accumulation of years of deficit spending going back to the days of George Washington. The debt usually advances in times of war and retreats in peace.

Remarkably, nearly half of today’s national debt was run up in just the past six years. It soared from $7.6 trillion in January 2005 as President George W. Bush began his second term to $10.6 trillion the day Obama was inaugurated and to $14.02 trillion now. The period has seen two major wars and the deepest economic downturn since the 1930s.

With a $1.7 trillion deficit in budget year 2010 alone, and the government on track to spend $1.3 trillion more this year than it takes in, annual budget deficits are adding roughly $4 billion

Geithner said the current statutory debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion, set just last year, may be reached by the end of March — and hit no later than May 16.

Two third-graders at Berrendo Elementary School were busted by their principal for smoking marijuana in the bathroom after school hours, Monday, Jan. 10, according to police reports.

When the sheriff who responded to the scene asked one of the boys how many times he had smoked pot, the boy replied he has “hit it hard a lot.”

Lieutenant Britt Snyder, of the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office, said

deputies have responded to calls about drugs in schools elementary before, but this is “the first time I’ve ever heard of third-graders doing it.”

According to police reports, the principal, Kathleen Gallaway, said she doesn’t want to press charges, but will be punishing the children “administratively through the school.”

The sheriff’s office contacted The New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department Statewide Central Intake about the incident and determined the case to be closed.

OPINION

Billy the Kid’s legacy good for state tourism SANTA FE — Our former governor may be through with his Billy the Kid pardon deliberations but the world isn’t through with Billy.

We will still be hearing of him often.

And that’s not bad. Billy the Kid’s legend, whether accurate or not, will long be an important commodity to New Mexico. The tourism industries in many communities are helped anywhere from partially to almost completely by stories of The Kid’s exploits thereabouts.

Gov. Bill Richardson spent some time on the subject of Billy the Kid but it wasn’t totally wasted as some of his detractors maintained. Helping local communities increase tourism isn’t wasted time.

In fact, that’s my idea of economic development. I’d much rather see our state helping businesses that already are here rather than spending millions of

taxpayer and state permanent fund money going after the big boys who talk a good game but who don’t have an ounce of loyalty to New Mexico.

So I’m happy to see Billy keep on riding and churning up business for this state. And that he’ll do. A letter from J.P. Garrett to his family, and to selected news people, urges them not to give up the fight to assure former Sheriff Pat Garrett’s good name is preserved.

My biggest problem with Gov. Richardson’s involvement with Billy the Kid the past eight years was that he was playing with fire.

By wanting to dig up Billy and his

Roswell Daily Record

mother to check their DNA against pretenders, the governor and his friends said they wanted to prove Garrett did shoot Billy and that The Kid is buried in Fort Sumner.

However all the side issues that emerged created doubt about what really happened. All but one community fought having any digging in their cemeteries. The only place that didn’t fight was the Arizona Pioneers Home.

It was a state-owned facility in Prescott. Gov. Janet Napolitano evidently figured Arizona had nothing to lose. If John Miller didn’t turn out to be Billy, few would care and if he did turn out to match Catherine Antrim’s DNA, it would be a huge win for Arizona.

Some lawmen from Lincoln County found a bench they said The Kid’s body was laid on. They sent a DNA sample from that bench to a Texas lab for compari-

son with DNA from one of two bodies dug up from the Arizona cemetery.

That was over two years ago and nothing more has been heard. Several of us tried to obtain the information in order to eliminate public confusion but our requests were denied, either because it was part of a criminal investigation of who Garrett shot or that it is private information not subject to public disclosure.

So author/historian Dr. Gale Cooper and Fort Sumner newspaper publisher Scot Stinnett went to court to obtain the information. The judge ruled the information must be released but a year has passed with no compliance.

A daylong hearing will be held on Friday, Jan. 21, in the Sandoval County District Court in Bernalillo, to determine what action should be taken for failure to follow a court order.

It is obvious why the Garrett

family is interested in this information being released. It surely will show that there is no relationship between the blood on the carpenter’s bench and the DNA from John Miller, and therefore Garrett didn’t allow Billy to get away after being shot.

So interest in Billy the Kid will continue. During the past eight years that Gov. Richardson made The Kid an issue, dozens of books about Billy have been written, along with two television documentaries, numerous newspaper and magazine articles and countless websites and blogs.

It will all be to New Mexico’s good as long as it doesn’t confuse potential tourists that some of the pseudo-history about Garrett shooting someone else and/or letting Billy get away might be true.

Out of the darkness of the Tucson shooting that left six dead and 14 wounded, and sparked an ugly round of partisan political finger -pointing, shined several points of light: Daniel Hernandez Jr., 20, a student at the University of Arizona, had joined U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ office as an intern just five days earlier. He was at the supermarket signing up constituents to speak with Giffords when he heard gunshots.

When most everyone else was scattering and ducking for cover, he rushed toward the sound of gunfire and saw Giffords lying on the ground with a severe head wound.

Hernandez applied pressure to the wound, had her sit upright to prevent her from choking on blood and kept her alert by having her squeeze his hand in response to his words. Those actions probably saved her life.

When shooting suspect Jared Loughner paused to reload, someone hit him with a folding chair. He then was accosted by 74year-old retired Army Col. Bill Badger, who had been grazed in the back of his head by a bullet; Roger Sulzgeber, 61 (who may have been the chair-wielder), and Joe Zamudio, 24, who pinned Loughner to the ground. As the shooter continued struggling to reload his gun, Patricia Maisch, 61, grabbed the magazine, finally disarming him.

Three may be considered “seasoned” citizens, but there was nothing retiring about their actions.

One of those slain Saturday was 9-yearold Christina Green. On Monday, her father, John Green, was interviewed on NBC’s “The Today Show.” In the course of discussing his daughter’s tragically short life and the heartbreak he and his family were experiencing, he made a remarkable statement: “This shouldn’t happen in this country, or anywhere else, but in a free society, we’re going to be subject to people like this. I prefer this to the alternative.”

This grieving father could be excused if he had responded emotionally and lashed out.

Instead, he displayed incredible poise and perspective. It was the kind of mature, graceful, courageous response that was in short supply in the aftermath. He set an example for all of us to follow.

City needs to keep its doctors here

It has been my heartfelt desire to provide you with good infor mation and with answers to the challenging issues that we deal with at City Hall. And without a doubt, 2010 gave us some pretty challenging issues.

Most we can handle ... but every now-and-then it requires the collective knowledge and wisdom of the citizens of this community. And let me not hesitate in saying that this is one of those times.

Difficult situations are notorious for coming at you from a variety of different angles and at variable speeds. Some-

times, they come quickly and straight as an arrow. Other times, they are a little slower ... a little more subtle and maybe they come from the left or they come from the right, but chances are that they are pretty well embedded by the time you recognize their pres-

And that’s what I seem to be doing ... scratching my head.

There is a condition that is affecting this community, and I can’t get my hands wrapped around it. It’s been a slow, methodical process that has been relatively successful in staying under the radar. The cause has been hidden from public awareness, but for many, the symptoms have been devastating.

When a community receives the assurance that the best interest of its citizens is first

and foremost, only to discover that commitments have quietly been diluted, that’s when our greatest fears become reality. Time to put our noggins together and come up with a solution to one of our most important questions … what in the world is happening to the health care in Roswell, N.M.?

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have had a cough for a couple of years. I’ve had chest X-rays, been to different doctors, tried cough medicine, cough drops and all sorts of things, but I just keep on coughing. After I cough, I usually have to blow my nose to stop; it’s embarrassing, to say the least.

I had a blood mass removed from my chest that was attached to my thyroid, heart, vocal cords and lung, but that did not help. I am tired of it, as are my family and friends.

Help!

DEAR READER: Cough can fall into two categories — acute or chronic. Yours obviously falls into the chronic category. While most instances of coughing are the result of

the body removing foreign material or mucus from the respiratory tract, yours appears to be a reaction to airway irritation. Causes might include allergic rhinitis, whooping cough, asthma, exposure to cigarette smoke or other pollutants in the air, COPD, postnasal drip, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, respiratory virus, sarcoidosis,

bronchospasm, tumors or from the use of ACE inhibitors (prescription medications for hypertension). Known irritants in this latter category include captopril, enalapril and lisinopril.

I am not completely sure what your problem was when you had a “blood mass” (was it a clot, tumor or something else?) removed from your chest, but I recommend you return to that physician for clarification as to whether it could have caused your chronic cough and if “it” needs follow-up. You should also be seen by a pulmonologist, who will take a complete history and perhaps order a CT scan.

Without knowing the underlying cause, there is no way to

determine how to treat it.

King was a drum major for justice, for peace Roswell Daily Record

Sitting on my desk at home is a black and white print of a man standing in front of a desk with his arms crossed. On the wall behind the man is a portrait of another man. The portrait of the man on the wall is Mahatma Gandhi. Mr. Gandhi was a major political and spiritual leader during India’s independence movement through nonviolent civil disobedience from 1916 to 1945.

The man standing with his arms crossed in the foreground is Martin Luther King Jr. The print on my desk says, “When your character is built on spiritual and moral foundation, your contagious way of life will influence millions.” The Reverend King’s life has influenced millions and continues to influence lives today.

He is one of my heroes.

Had he lived, Martin Luther King Jr. would be 82 years old. Monday we celebrate his birthday. Dr. King, a husband, a father, a minister and a national and world leader, changed our country and our world in the 1950s and ’60s through his nonviolence leadership in the civil rights struggle. His life was cut short on April 4, 1968, by the bullet of an assassin.

I have had the opportunity to visit two museums dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. over the past few years. In Memphis, Tenn., my wife and I were able to spend a half day at the Lorraine Hotel in the heart of Memphis where Dr. King, at age 39, breathed his final breath.

I have also had the opportunity to visit “Sweet Auburn,” the area in downtown Atlanta where Dr. King was born and raised. I visit-

ed the boyhood home where he was born and was able to spend some time in Ebenezer Baptist Church, the church Dr. King’s father pastored and Martin Luther King Jr. later co-pastored.

King did not choose to be the leader of the nonviolent civil rights movement. On Dec. 5, 1955, he attended a meeting with other pastors in Montgomery, Ala., where he was pastoring his first church. The meeting was called in response to the Rosa Parks arrest four days earlier.

As Dr. King would later share, after the group came up with a name, it was time to choose its leaders. A man in the other corner of the room said, “‘Mr. chairman, I would like to nominate Reverend M.L. King for president.’ The motion was seconded and carried, and in a matter of minutes I was unanimously elected. The action had caught me unawares. It had happened so quickly that I did not even have time to think it through. It is probable that if I had, I would have declined the nomination.”

From his impromptu nomination, Reverend King suddenly found himself leading the Montgomery bus boycott and before long he had earned a national and then an international reputation. One of Dr. King’s core beliefs was that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. He spent

DEAR READER: While people of all ages can get acne, you are 14, and changes are occurring in your body.

Many teenagers are susceptible to your very problem, and hormones might be the cause. Other possibilities are the use of birth-control pills (although some physicians might order the pill in an attempt to control acne), an overproduction of oil, a buildup of bacteria or an irregular shedding of dead skin. The condition is not caused by being dirty and, in fact, intense cleansing might even make matters worse. I am sure that your skin is sensitive. Scrubbing with a coarse washcloth or harsh soaps

I have had the opportunity to listen and read many of the sermons and speeches that Reverend King gave through his years, his most famous being his March 28, 1963, “I have a dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize on Dec. 10, 1964. In a 1965 interview, Reverend King revealed that he worked at least 20 hours a day, traveled 325,000 miles and made 450 speeches per year, had been jailed 14 times, had his home bombed three times, and received at least one death threat per day.

Through all of this he continued to lead a non-violent movement and kept his head up, moving forward one step at a time.

As the lives of other black civil right leaders were taken, Dr. King had to know that his days were numbered. In one of his later speeches he spoke about what might be said at his funeral one day. The following is an excerpt from his speech and was later played at his funeral as the tears of family and friends flowed. In his own words: “Every now and then I guess we all think realistically about that day when we will be victimized and what is life’s final common denominator — that something we call death. We all think about it. And every now and then I think about my own death, and I think about my own funeral. And I don’t think of it in a morbid sense. Every now and then I ask myself, ‘What is it that I would want said?’ And I leave the word to you this morning.

or astringents might further irritate the condition.

Wash the affected areas with a gentle cleanser, use over-the-counter lotions to dry up oil and kill bacteria, consider using tea-tree oil (which may produce mild skin irritations in some people), and speak with your doctor about supplemental zinc or brewer’s yeast. Beyond that, medical treatment might include the use of prescription medication, antibiotics, laser and light therapy or dermabrasion.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind.

But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I wanted to say.

“If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or a song, if I can show somebody he’s traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain. If I can do my duty as a Christian ought, if I can bring salvation to a world once wrought, if I can spread the message as the master taught, then my living will not be in vain.”

to know why.

More than once, physicians have told me that they love Roswell, and that they enjoy practicing here, but that if things don’t change, they’ll be pulling up stakes and leaving.

What things? What are the things that keep chasing off skilled and competent doctors? Where are the things coming from and who gave them such authority? Why can’t we put a name to the one thing that is causing so much damage to the well-being of our community?

Roswell was once the go-to place for medical care in southeast New Mexico.

Slowly but surely, we are having to goto some other place in order to receive the same opportunities that had served our medical needs for years.

Additionally, I am confused with the territorial nature that seems to have infected our health care system. Has anybody else fallen victim to this scenario? My parents, bless their hearts, have been in and out of the hospital several times over the past year. On more than one occasion, we took them to the emergency room, where they were treated (extremely well, I might add) and then admitted for an extended stay. So far ... so good. The not-so-good kicked in, however, when we were advised that they would not be able to see their primary-care physician because that doctor did not have privileges at that particular hospital.

Now, I am not a doctor, and I am not a hospital administrator, and I don’t know all the rules about medical procedures and bottom-line considerations ... but what I do know is ... that is just simply wrong! How can it be that we

My challenge to you is to be firm in your convictions.

Don’t be afraid to stand up for what is right, regardless of the consequences. Make choices that make a difference. Dr. King was born into this world just as you or me.

He was not born with any magical powers, he just made choices that impacted others.

Monday we honor Martin Luther King Jr., a man who set an example for us to follow with the life he lived.

have come to the point where doctors can practice medicine in multiple office locations, multiple communities, and even multiple states, but they can only practice medicine in ONE hospital in Roswell? If this is a reflection of the times, then the time has come to turn back the clock.

I don’t choose to use this article as a means to accuse, try and convict our medical professionals. Likewise, I will not use this article as a venue for telling any business how to manage its affairs.

But I will not hesitate to use this article as a means to express a grave concern, to share some personal experiences and then to invite others to participate in an attempt to bring a resolution to this mounting problem.

I will work hard to keep our city on a narrow track ... making sure that we are taking care of the city’s business, not that of the private sector; however, when the health, safety and well-being of our citizens are being jeopardized, I feel a responsibility to look for answers.

I promise to be careful in our approach in bringing attention to the situation, but I strongly believe that we must get involved. For you see, all aspects of the quality of life that Roswell generates, depends heavily on the quality of health care that we receive.

I plan to appoint a Blue Ribbon Committee of talented and experienced individuals to begin the process of understanding the situation. We want to be inclusive of the medical field and open in our approach. The members will be diligent in their responsibilities and respectful in determinations. And as information is put together, we’ll find an acceptable way to share that with all who want to know.

Blessings!

Thanks from Miss Roswell

Dear Editor: I was given the opportunity of a lifetime when I was crowned Miss Roswell 2010. I want to extend my thanks and appreciation to the community of Roswell for all of the support and encouragement during my year of reign.

As Miss Roswell, I was privileged to be in numerous parades, help advocate for the annual Trek for Trash, and speak at Business After Hours at Roswell Regional Hospital. Last December, I partnered with the Assisteens of Chaves County (of which I am an alumnus) to do many service projects: ring bells for the Salvation Army, serve as a greeter and usher for the Roswell Symphony Orchestra’s Christmas concert, work with CASA and its holiday toy drive, and fill stockings for children at the Roswell Refuge to open on Christmas morning.

My platform was the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and I have been honored to work at the Ronald McDonald House of the Southwest and also in the Family Room that RMHC sponsors at UMC Hospital, all in Lubbock, Texas.

Attending Miss New Mexico in June of 2010 was one of the most incredible events I have ever been a part of. I met 24 of the state’s most beautiful and talented girls — inside and out. While I did not win, I took away a sense of accomplishment, pride in my state and confidence in myself.

I thank the UFO Festival for hosting the 2010 Miss Roswell Pageant and for giving me this opportunity. Special thanks to Renee’ Roach for being the most incredible director, my family and friends for their unending support, Molly at Once and Again Consignment for my evening gown, and the many local businesses that agreed to sponsor me.

The Keep Roswell Beautiful Board has agreed to keep the pageant alive by hosting the 2011 pageant. Roswell is a growing community with much to offer our beautiful state. We need a representative at Miss New Mexico every year!

I am so grateful that I get to pass on my crown to a new Miss Roswell later this month. Thank you all so very much for your support, prayers and encouragement. You truly helped to make this year one of the best! I was so proud to represent Roswell at the state level.

I am continuing to pursue early childhood education at Lubbock Christian University, with the intent to graduate in May of 2012. I am the secretary of Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society or education majors, a member of Alpha Chi Honor Society, director of Freshman Orientation, and am involved with the LCU Student Senate. I might be at school in Texas, but I will always be a hometown girl!

Thank you so much Roswell!

the central question. As far as I am concerned the information is stolen from all of us and sold and resold and as far as the end-user is concerned they have done nothing wrong even though they know your sex, age, income, spending habits, health status and often a great deal more.

How this rampage on our personal privacy affects we Americans has become a major subject of American debate. I, for one, am inclined to believe human beings, by nature, require a great deal of privacy and when this privacy is taken away we humans are impacted in negative and subtle ways. We start believing we are being abused (duh) and then become suspicious and thus more paranoid which in turn leads to other human ailments.

So, in closing, my own consensus is we all live in the land of “Red Queen” and like it or not all of our personal information is now becoming public record and our ideas, if they are good ones, are stolen faster than we can imagine. I know this because, like Alice and a lot of other people, I see and understand how the insanity of this world affects all of us.

Privacy in America

Dear Editor: Social media alone is now consuming a major portion of Internet bandwidth and there is no end in sight. All this information, believe it or not, is scanned by government and corporations to find “tidbits,” significant or not, about people.

So what happens to all these “tidbits” of information?

Basically they end up in computer fields which in turn are scanned again and again (as information is added) to build your life story. Seriously speaking any American, including you, can have literally dozens of information files spread over many corporations and government agencies.

The bottom line is your being watched far more closely than realized. You’re buying habits, your political views and even your sexual preferences are now a matter of record (actually many records.) Talk about the days of “Big Brother” ... well not exactly. It is more like a bunch of little brothers and sisters who know personal information is a very profitable business. Sure “Big Brother” is watching, but then, as I said, so are a lot of other people.

If all this make you uneasy you are not alone. In America we have gone, in less than a decade, from a somewhat reasonable degree of personal privacy to nearly no privacy at all. In fact, if you have been to an airport lately you are aware your private parts are now being scrutinized by X-ray machinery. Even public bathrooms are scanned with video for God knows what.

Somehow all this surveillance reminds me of the children’s book “Alice in Wonderland.” A very delightful yet black broadside on the inequities of Victorian England.

Remember the Red Queen. What a bitch she was. The Queen and her court made life miserable for everybody ... especially Alice who understood there was a great deal of insanity being imposed upon the English people.

Unfortunately the story does not end with how the Red Queen and her court collect information. The more important story is how this information is used to control social endeavor. Health insurance companies, for example, can wheel and deal when they have access to all your medical records. Where do you think those $10 million executive bonuses come from? They come from having all these “tidbits” of information.

Another, less obvious, form of information profitability comes from stealing ideas. The Internet, as far as I am concerned, is America’s biggest brain drain ... that is by scanning all e-mail it is possible to determine who has the best ideas. For example, If I can intercept all e-mails sent daily by all scientists in the drug industry sooner or later I am going to find out which drug company has a new miracle drug. Sounds silly I know, but if you were a professional hacker you would understand completely what I mean. Consider knowing which drug company has developed a new drug which can extend human life by 25 years. That would put you on the inside track to say the least.

My last point about the profitability is this. Have you ever wondered why there are so many millionaires and billionaires in this world of ours? Well you can quit wondering. The answer is, anymore, they who have the best information win. “Inside trading” in the stock market would be a perfect example.

To put a real edge on information gathering be aware there are tens of thousands of people around the world who are employed strictly for the purpose of tracking your lifestyle and ideas. These people read your e-mail, track your purchases, track your bank records, investment records, health records and in general find everything about you they can ... and all this is done in the open and done so-called legally. In fact it is this very element of open and legal espionage which forms the basis for non-privacy in our new world.

Of course how all this information is collected remains

Cold weather safety tips for seniors ENMU-R observes This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by Senior Circle and the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

If you watch television weather reports, it’s been pretty frightening recently in much of the United States. New York City and the deep South have battled severe winter storms.

Here in New Mexico, weather conditions in the northern part of the state have been cold and unpleasant. Meanwhile, we in southeastern New Mexico have many moderate, sunny days. Cold weather, however, can easily catch us off guard and seniors may be more vulnerable.

Much like high blood pressure, hypother mia has been called a “silent

killer” in the sense that many of its victims are not aware of the threat. Elderly persons may not be aware that they are cold as readily as younger people and their bodies may not adjust to changes in temperature.

Hypothermia is marked by an abnor mally low internal body temperature and develops when body heat is lost faster than it

can be replaced.

If you believe someone may be a victim of hypother mia, call an ambulance immediately.

More safety tips: • Stay inside as much as possible. If you have to go out, cover all exposed areas. Wear a hat and gloves and cover your mouth to avoid getting cold air in your lungs.

• Keep a list of emergency phone numbers next to your phone.

• Check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to be sure they are in working order.

• If you are using a space heater keep it away from fur niture and draperies.

• Replace rubber tips on canes, walkers and

crutches.

• Be aware that some medicines make people more susceptible to cold.

No classes will be held Monday, Jan. 17 at Eastern New Mexico UniversityRoswell in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.

However, campus offices will be open during regular business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

For campus information, call 624-7000.

• Have chimneys and flues checked before using them.

• Make sure to have extra food, blankets and water available along with a flashlight and extra batteries.

• Have at least a twoweek supply of medicine and non-perishable food items in case of a power outage.

NATIONAL BRIEFS NFL WARNS TEAMS ABOUT TRASH TALKING

CHICAGO (AP) — The NFL has warned players to cut out the trash talk, specifically when it threatens other players.

“Ray Anderson reminded players that comments of a physically threatening nature are always taken into account in evaluating discipline for any illegal physical contact on the field,” league spokesman Greg Aiello said Saturday.

NFL executive vice president of football operations Anderson is the league’s chief disciplinarian. He told teams, including all eight remaining in the playoffs, to basically watch it.

Since October, the NFL has ratcheted up its enforcement of hits to defenseless players with a series of fines — and the threat of suspension. No suspensions have been handed out, but the recent rash of trash talk before playoff games prompted Anderson to further emphasize the need to respect the game and opponents.

RECORD STAFF REPORTS

LOVINGTON — Facing a top-five 3A team for the second time in as many games, the Roswell girls basketball team again backed up its No. 1 ranking with a 49-43 win over No. 2 Lovington on Saturday.

Roswell ran out to a seven-point lead after one, held a 38-22 lead going into the final quarter and led by as many as 18 in the fourth before Lovington rallied to make it a game. The Wildcats outscored Roswell 21-11 in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough to complete the comeback.

“They did a good job of pressuring us and forcing a few turnovers,” said Roswell coach Joe Carpenter about the fourth quarter. “We didn’t do a good job of taking care of the ball at times. It wasn’t like we turned it over a ton, it just seemed like it was worse in the fourth quarter.”

Carpenter said that a change in approach by the Wildcats made a difference as well.

“We did an excellent job of getting out on their shooters the first three quarters.

They were very patient up until the fourth quarter and then they decided they needed to attack us.”

Shanice Steenholdt led Roswell (14-1) with 14 points and, according to Carpenter, played a big part in staving off the Wildcats in the fourth.

“Shanice took over for us in the fourth,” Carpenter said. “When it was time for her to step up, she stepped up and answered the call.”

Diana Carrillo added 12 and Marika Trujillo had 10.

Portales 39, Goddard 14 Goddard trailed 16-7 at the half, but Portales won the second half 23-7 on its way to a 25-point win over the Rockets at the Launching Pad on Saturday.

“Defensively, I felt like we did pretty well against them,” said Rocket coach Greg Torres. “It was a good effort. We just can’t seem to put a good defensive effort and a good offensive effort together.

“We just have to find someone that can step up offensively.”

Cheyenne Kyser led Goddard (1-16) with five points and Abbie Blach added four.

Santa Teresa 53, Roswell 48 SANTA TERESA — Roswell twice rallied from double-digit deficits to get within striking distance, but couldn’t overcome the Desert Warriors.

Big Ben beats Ravens, again

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers stood around as the Baltimore Ravens scored an inexplicable first-half touchdown.

Then it was the error prone Ravens who watched helplessly as the team they love to beat most came back to beat them when it mattered most.

Ben Roethlisberger hit rookie Antonio Brown on a 58-yard pass play on thirdand-19, and Rashard Mendenhall scored from the 2 with 1:33 remaining to give the Steelers a 31-24 comeback victory over the Ravens in an AFC divisional playoff game Saturday.

The Steelers, 9-0 against division teams in the playoffs, advance to their fifth AFC championship game in 10 seasons next Sunday — at New England if the Patriots beat the Jets on Sunday, in Pittsburgh if the Jets win. They will be play to reach the Super Bowl for third time in six seasons.

“I saw the young fella

just take off, so I’m just going to throw it up for you,” Roethlisberger said of his throw to Brown, who wasn’t even activated regularly until midseason.

The Steelers (13-4) were trailing 21-7 at halftime after turnovers created two Ravens touchdowns. But they came back with the help of three Baltimore tur novers in the third quarter. It was so bad, the Ravens’ minus-4 yards in offense wasn’t the worst of it.

Baltimore was outgained 263-126 as Joe Flacco was 16 of 30 for 125 yards as the Ravens became the eighth team in NFL playoff history to fail to gain at least 100 yards in the first three quarters. All eight teams lost.

Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers (12) scrambles past a diving Curtis Lofton and into the end zone for a touchdown during the Packers’ win over the Falcons, Saturday.

ATLANTA (AP) — Brett who? Aaron Rodgers has turned these NFL playoffs into his own showcase.

Carving up the NFC’s top-seeded team, Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Green Bay Packers to their second straight postseason road victory with a stunning 48-21 rout of the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday night.

The Packers (12-6) will have to win one more on the road to complete their improbable run from sixth seed to the Super Bowl, but nothing looks out of the question the way Rodgers is playing. He’ll lead Green Bay into the NFC championship game at either Chicago or Seattle next weekend.

“That’s what you dream about,” Rodgers said. “This just feels so good right now. To be able to put up an offensive performance like that, it’s just incredible.”

Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards, more than Brett Favre — the guy he replaced in Green Bay — ever threw for in a playoff game. After knocking off Michael Vick and the Eagles in Philadelphia, then dominating Matt R yan and the Falcons in Atlanta, Rodgers is creating his own legacy in Titletown USA. This was the most points ever scored by the Packers in a playof f game. They could’ve left punter T im Masthay at home. He was never needed.

Green Bay scored 35 consecutive points, including Tramon Williams’ 70yard interception return on the final play of the first half that left the Falcons (13-4) and a crowd of more than 69,000 in a state of shock as the teams headed to the locker room.

“It was one of those nights,” Rodgers said. “I See PACKERS, Page B5

It was the AFC championship game at New England in 2008, and the San Diego Chargers running back’s pride was hurting just as much as his left knee. He tried to push through the pain, but lasted just a few plays before heading to the sideline for good while the Chargers lost out on a Super Bowl appearance.

“It was the most frustrating thing I’ve been through in my career,” the New York Jets running back recalled Thursday. “It was a long shot going into the game with a sprained MCL. I told my guys, ‘I’m going to give you everything I have,’ but it wasn’t much.”

Tomlinson, injured a week earlier at Indianapolis, had two runs for 5 yards and a catch for 1 yard before his night was over. A lasting image from the Chargers’ 21-12 loss at Gillette Stadium is of Tomlinson sitting on the team’s bench, wrapped in an oversized jacket and his helmet still strapped onto his head.

“That was obviously frustrating that at the biggest time you could possibly play a game, I couldn’t play,” he said. “Now, it seems like I get a chance to redeem myself.”

Three years later and healthy with the Jets, Tomlinson is again headed to Foxborough for a playoff game — with a trip to the AFC championship game on the line.

“Having this opportunity,” Tomlinson said, smiling, “my hair’s going to be on fire.”

Tomlinson and the Jets face the Patriots in today’s divisional round.

media — including Deion Sanders — questioned Tomlinson’s toughness after that game in 2008, especially after quarterback Philip Rivers played with a torn ACL. The fact Tomlinson even tried to play impressed his teammates.

“As a competitor, and someone who has been a teammate and somebody who has been a mentor of mine since I’ve gotten to the NFL, it was definitely tough to see,” said Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie,

who played four seasons in San Diego with Tomlinson.

“He wanted to be out there and tried to give it his all and wasn’t able to, so he’s going to be looking forward to this.”

Tomlinson had one of the best postseason games of his career, running for 82 yards and two touchdowns while helping the Jets to a 17-16 victory over the Colts in Indianapolis last Saturday.

“I feel good,” he said.

“Obviously, coming off a

game like I had last week, it’s motivation to continue.”

The NFL’s sixth-leading rusher is no longer a youngster at 31 years old, and he’s well aware that the chances to win a Super Bowl ring are quickly dwindling.

“This is what you play for, these opportunities,” he said. “As you’ve heard many people say, this is why you lift all those weights in the offseason and training camp, to have the opportunity to do this.”

And, he gets the chance to put previous postseason failures behind him against the team that has caused a few of them.

“I think over the years, the Super Bowls they’ve won, they have been the dynasty,” Tomlinson said of the Patriots. “It’s kind of like the Cowboys in the ’90s. The Patriots, since 2000, have been that dynasty. So, anytime you play a group like these guys, you get fired up to play.”

Especially when they’ve sent you home in the playof fs twice. In 2007, the Chargers hosted the Patriots in the second round and blew a 21-13 lead in the fourth quarter before falling 24-21. The normally laid-back Tomlinson lost his cool and went after a Patriots player, upset that some New England players were dancing on the Chargers logo at midfield at Qualcomm Stadium. He called the Patriots “disrespectful” that night and said they “showed no class.”

So, Tomlinson fit right in with this Jets-Patriots rivalry that has plenty of bad blood of its own.

“As far as now, it seems years ago for me,” Tomlinson said. “I really don’t focus on them. It’s a different team, a different type of team and that was really in the past for me. I’m just happy I get another opportunity to play.”

After a bitter divorce from the Chargers last winter, Tomlinson had to battle the perception that he was finished. The Jets and the Minnesota Vikings were the only teams that showed serious interest, and Tomlinson chose New York knowing he had plenty to prove despite all the accolades and records.

He wasn’t the electrifying L.T. of his prime, but he was plenty productive during the regular season. He led the team with 914 yards rushing, and his 23yard run against the Colts last week was surprisingly the longest of his postseason career.

“I saw he’s fresh, ready to go,” coach Rex Ryan said.

“When you saw the desire that he has, the passion he’s running with, that’s what I expect again this week.”

Defensive resurgence leads Bears to playoffs

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Brian Urlacher looked at the talent on the roster and saw no reason why the Chicago Bears would miss the postseason for a fourth straight year.

Well, the drought’s over and he thinks there won’t be another dry spell.

“No, not at all,” Urlacher said. “I think if we get a couple guys back, we’re set up for a while. If you look at our team, depth-wise, if we get Olin (Kreutz) back and a couple other guys, we have Jay (Cutler) and Pep (Julius Peppers) signed for a while so I think we’ll be set up. It would be good if we go out there and prove it for a while.

Talent-wise, we’re going to be good for a while.”

The Bears will host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in a divisional playoff game after winning the NFC North and earning a first-round bye. Not since the 2006 team made the Super Bowl had the Bears been to the postseason, and one big reason they’re finally back is the guys doing the tackling.

Not quite as ferocious as the old Monsters of the Midway, the defense has ranked among the NFL’s stingiest all season after several mediocre years. Urlacher said this group is as good as the one that led runs to the

postseason in 2005 and 2006.

“Talent-wise, this defense is up there,” he said. “Our corners are good. We’ve played well at linebacker. We rotate a lot of guys. We’re deep. ... Talent-wise and athletic-wise, we’re up there.”

The numbers back him up.

The Bears ranked ninth overall on defense, second against the rush and tied for third with 35 takeaways.

Opposing offenses managed just 256 points (16 per game), fourth-fewest in the NFL, and the 14 passing touchdowns allowed by Chicago was the league’s secondlowest total.

Monsters of the Midway? Not quite.

Then again, the Bears have never resembled the bonecrushing defenses of old in their seven seasons under coach Lovie Smith. They were built on speed and technique and likely to bend but not break even when they were at their best. And in recent seasons, they were not at their best.

Injuries robbed defensive tackle Tommie Harris of his Pro Bowl skills and turned Urlacher into a question mark. Back and neck problems had limited him in recent years, and just when it looked as though he might be back to his old havoc-wreaking ways, he sustained a season-ending wrist injury in the opener at Green Bay in 2009.

That set a bad tone, and the Bears wound up going 79 for the second time in three years, leaving many fans calling for Smith and general manager Jerry Angelo to be fired.

They stuck around, but the Bears didn’t stand pat.

They signed Peppers to a six-year deal potentially worth $91.5 million, hoping the Pro Bowl defensive end could shake up a defense that ranked 17th overall and boost a struggling line. Never mind that he finished with eight sacks and missed double digits for just the third time in nine seasons. The move paid off in a big way.

Peppers often draws two or three blockers, makes offensive linemen jittery and when he’s not getting to the quarterback, he’s clogging running lanes.

In that sense, he’s even better than Urlacher thought.

But as important as Peppers’ arrival was, so was the return of the man who had anchored the defense.

The Bears simply weren’t the same without Urlacher in the middle.

“The guys that filled in for him did a great job, but they’re no Urlacher,” linebacker Lance Briggs said. “Having him back is huge. Having the pieces that we have for this puzzle are huge, and he’s the main piece.”

Those other pieces have filled big spots.

Cornerback D.J. Moore has had his moments, such as when he picked off two passes in a win over Dallas in September. Linebacker Brian Iwuh had 12 tackles in a 23-20 loss to Seattle in October while filling in for the injured Briggs.

This time, Briggs is healthy. And the Bears expect a better defensive effort.

They did not sack Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck in that game, nor did they pick off a pass or recover a fumble.

“We’ve done some good things,” defensive end Israel Idonije said. “The best part about it is we still have left some plays on the field. There’s still room for us to really take a big step in these playoffs and show another level of play.”

Cardinals GM mum on Pujols contract talks

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols will sign autographs for $175 a pop on Sunday at the St. Louis Cardinals’ Winter Warmup.

The team has until the start of spring training to get the three-time NL MVP to sign a new contract.

General manager John Mozeliak confirmed the deadline set by Pujols, but declined Saturday to characterize negotiations. The Cardinals exercised a $16 million option for next season on Pujols’ contract in October.

Both sides want to keep the negotiations private. Pujols’ two-hour autograph session, which will raise funds for Cardinal Care, is sold out.

“Really, we don’t want to sit here and handicap or guess or kind of give any type of gut feel where this thing is headed right now,” Mozeliak said. “Hopefully in the near future it’s something we can talk more about, but right now I’m not prepared to.”

Mozeliak also declined to discuss negotiations at a fan forum, where he requested the topic not come up, saying, “I have no idea.”

Although Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt expressed confidence earlier this winter that the team could keep Pujols beyond 2011, Mozeliak said: “I don’t think it’s going to benefit anybody for me to weigh in at this point.”

The 30-year-old Pujols led the National League with 42 homers and 118 RBIs last season. He topped 400 career homers and set a franchise record with his 39th multihomer game.

“Obviously, Albert is the face of this organization and the face of this city,” pitcher Chris Carpenter said. “He’s the best player in baseball. You’re talking about huge dollars and huge commitments.

“But my job is to get myself prepared to pitch the best I can and give my team a chance to win.”

Carpenter, 35, also can become a free agent after this season. He said he wouldn’t worry about it.

“It’s been brought up, talked about,” Carpenter said. “But I have no concerns, I have no extra pressure. If they want to keep me, they can keep me.

“If they don’t, I guess I’ll have to get another place to play.”

The Cardinals got one deal out of the way, avoiding arbitration and signing setup man Kyle McClellan to a one-year contract.

Mozeliak said a long-term deal was discussed but “never gained any traction to this point.”

The 26-year-old right-hander appeared in 68 games last season, going 1-4 with a career-best 2.27 ERA and two saves.

McClellan was the only Cardinals player who filed for arbitration. He’s been durable in all three of his major league seasons with St. Louis, totaling 202 appearances.

“Obviously, avoiding the hearing room was something that we felt was very important,” Mozeliak said. “I’m pleased we were able to work this out.

“Certainly, he’s accomplished a lot over the last three years.”

Mozeliak expected McClellan to remain in his setup role next season, given the Cardinals have a set rotation of Adam Wainwright, Carpenter, Jake Westbrook, Jaime Garcia and Kyle Lohse. St. Louis added backup options on Friday, signing right-handers Miguel Batista and Ian Snell to minor league contracts with invitations to spring training.

Mozeliak said the Cardinals pursued Batista in 2007 when the pitcher signed with Seattle.

St. Louis also signed 34-year-old middle infielder Ramon Vazquez to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Maruyama, Appleby share lead at Sony Open

HONOLULU (AP) — For the second straight day, Stuart Appleby plodded along the soft fairways of Waialae until he closed strong with improbable shots for eagle or a string of birdies.

That recipe could really come in handy Sunday.

Appleby, who holed out with a 5-iron for eagle on the 16th hole in the opening round, chipped in from 90 feet across the green on the par-3 seventh Saturday. That was part of a birdie-birdie-birdie finish for a 4-under 66 and a share of the lead with Shigeki Maruyama.

But the tournament is only half over.

Because of rain that washed out play Thursday, the Sony Open will try to finish Sunday with a 36-hole finale.

“A bit of a crap shoot,” Appleby said. “There’s a lot of guys in this tournament, absolutely. So it’ll be a very interesting finish.”

If the trade wind ever arrives, just about everybody is still in the hunt.

Appleby and Maruyama, who had his second straight 65, were at 10-under 130. They were one shot clear of Roland Thatcher (65), Steve Marino (67) and Mark Wilson (67).

Another shot back was a group that included Justin Rose (68) and Matt Kuchar (68), who has picked up from last year when he won the PGA Tour money title and Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average.

The cut was at 1-under 139, and 83 players will get paid.

But because of the 36-hole final, the playing cut was the number of players nearest to 60. With late birdies by Daniel Summerhays and Matt McQuillan, that cut was 56 player at 3-under 137.

That knocked out the likes of Vijay Singh and Zach Johnson.

The gap between top to bottom at the start of Sunday will be seven shots, which can easily be made up over 36 holes.

“Guys can win from seven and eight back on days like that,” said Davis Love III, who shot a 66 and was only four behind. “That makes it interesting. It’s whoever gets hot with the putter.”

Shigeki Maruyama tees off on the 18th hole during the second round of the Sony Open, Saturday.

Waialae because the size of his Japanese gallery is larger than usual and there usually isn’t a premium on power along the palm tree-lined fairways.

He’s not sure about Sunday, however. He looked at his shoes and said with a laugh, “My feet. It’s a problem.”

“I’m getting older, and 36 holes is going to be a struggle,” Maruyama.

What should help is the flat property of Waialae, an old-styled course near the shores of Waikiki Beach.

Anthony Kim matched the low score of the day with a 64 to reach 5-under 135. He was tied with Ernie Els, who might have an advantage based on his experience — not only from winning at Waialae, but playing 36 holes on the last day.

Els faced a 36-hole final round just last month in winning the South African Open.

And not many will forget that 36-hole final at Bay Hill in 1998 when he overwhelmed Tiger Woods and Love in the final group.

“That turned out good,” Els said, smiling. “I’m kind of looking forward to tomorrow. I’ve got a month off after tomorrow, and I’d like to let it all hang out.”

Just like his opening round, Appleby wasn’t doing much overly exciting. He was 1 under for his round with three holes to play when he chipped in for an improbable birdie on the seventh. Then came an approach to 2 feet on the next hole for a tap-in birdie, and he reached the green in two on the par-5 ninth for a two-putt birdie and a share of the lead.

“Tomorrow, we’ve got a bit of a sprint, even though it’s going to take us all day,” Appleby said.

It’s not unusual for the PGA Tour to cut to the nearest number of players to 60. The priority always is to finish on Sunday, and that’s the first option mentioned in its guidelines.

But it could lead to an awkward finish. Love recalls early in his career playing the Colonial, which Keith Clearwater won by three shots despite finishing on the ninth hole in the final round.

Els, for example, will be in the first group off Sunday morning on the first tee. There will be no time to change the groups based on third-round scores, so the South African will finish on the ninth hole.

“Anybody who’s made the cut has got a decent change to play for the championship tomorrow,” Thatcher said.

NCAA Top 10: Duke, OSU, Kansas among winners AP Photo

Stuart Appleby tees off on the 10th hole during the second round of the Sony Open, Saturday.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Andre Dawkins’ defense led to a highlight-reel dunk. His timely scoring helped prevent one loss from becoming two for Duke.

Dawkins scored 12 of his 14 points after halftime, and the top-ranked Blue Devils bounced back from their first loss in 10 months by pulling away to beat Virginia 76-60 on Saturday.

“We just played really good defense, and turned our defense into our offense, which led to easy buckets,” Dawkins said. “Getting easy buckets really makes the basket look bigger from the outside.”

Nolan Smith led the way with 29 points, Kyle Singler finished with 13 points and Mason Plumlee had a career-high 16 rebounds for the slow-starting Blue Devils (16-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed by 10 late in the first half but outscored Virginia 43-18 over the final 16 minutes to avoid their first losing streak in two years.

“We’re a different team. We have to know that going into games — we’re not going to walk onto the court and beat anybody,” Smith said. “This conference is too good for that, and I think we showed in the second half ... how we have to play in every game.”

Mustapha Farrakhan and Joe Harris scored 15 points each for the Cavaliers (10-7, 1-2), who were held to one field goal during a late 8-minute stretch and fell to 1-28 against top-ranked teams.

The Blue Devils almost certainly won’t have that designation much longer, after Florida State beat them 66-61 three nights earlier. Their first defeat since Maryland knocked them off last March snapped the 25-game winning streak that included the run to the program’s fourth national championship.

Duke kept a few other streaks intact by winning its 30th straight game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, its sixth straight against Virginia and its 14th in a row against the Cavaliers in Durham.

No. 2 Ohio State 69, Penn State 66 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Freshman forward Jared Sullinger scored 19 points and converted a three-point play with 13.2 seconds left to lift Ohio State over Penn State.

The victory, on the heels of top-ranked Duke’s 66-61 loss at Florida State on Wednesday night, could propel the Buckeyes (18-0, 5-0 Big Ten) to the No. 1 spot in next week’s rankings.

Fellow freshman Aaron Craft also had 19 points, a career high, to go with seven assists and brilliant defense against Penn State (10-7, 3-3) star Talor Battle.

Battle’s 3-pointer with 2 seconds left came up short.

David Jackson had 19 points for the Nittany Lions, who were trying to upset three straight ranked teams for the first time in school history.

No. 3 Kansas 63, Nebraska 60 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Marcus Morris and Tyrel Reed hit free throws in the final seconds, and Kansas rallied to remain unbeaten.

Kansas entered with a 15-game winning streak against the Huskers, but was thoroughly outplayed in a ragged first half and fell behind by 10 points quickly after intermission.

Morris’ two foul shots gave the Jayhawks (17-0, 2-0 Big 12) a 62-58 lead. After Lance Jeter drove in for a layup, Reed was quickly fouled and made one of two.

Jeter then missed a 3-pointer for Nebraska, which outrebounded Kansas 44-31.

Reed and Marcus Morris each had 16 points as Kansas ran its school-record home court winning streak to 69 games.

Jeter had 13 points for Nebraska (13-4, 1-2) and Andre Almeida had 10.

No. 4 Syracuse 67, No. 25 Cincinnati 52 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Rick Jackson had 15 points and 11 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season, leading Syracuse to the victory.

Syracuse (18-0, 5-0 Big East) is one win from matching the best start in program history. The Orange play at No. 5 Pittsburgh on Monday night.

Syracuse broke open a tight game with a 16-0 run to start the second half. Freshman center Fab Melo had four points and Brandon Triche and James Southerland each hit 3pointers to key the game-changing charge.

Cincinnati hit 9 of 19 3-pointers in the first half to rally from an early 15-point deficit but missed its first seven shots of the second to fall behind by 20 points with 14:07 left.

Dion Dixon led Cincinnati (16-2, 3-2) with 18 points, all on 3s.

No. 5 Pittsburgh 74, Seton Hall 53 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Senior center Gary McGhee matched a career high with 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, sending Pittsburgh to a victory over struggling Seton Hall.

Despite missing two-thirds of its shots through the first 15 minutes, the Panthers (17-1, 5-0 Big East) cruised to a double-digit lead and maintained control the rest of the way.

Playing before 9,236 at the Petersen Events Center, they won their seventh consecutive game and 19th in a row at home.

Pitt also matched its best start in Big East play, achieved three previous times in its 29-year conference history.

It was the fourth loss in five games for Seton Hall (8-10, 24), which has dropped six of eight overall.

Pitt, which has tied the sixth-best start in the program’s 103 years, next plays host Monday to No. 4 Syracuse in a Big East battle for first place.

No. 6 San Diego State 87, New Mexico 77 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — D.J. Gay scored a careerhigh 30 points, Kawhi Leonard had 19 points and 15

rebounds and San Diego State beat New Mexico to remain one of the nation’s four unbeaten teams.

Chase Tapley added 15 points and the Aztecs (19-0, 4-0 Mountain West Conference) won for the fourth time in their last six visits to The Pit to extend the country’s longest active win streak to a school-record 19 games.

The Lobos (13-5, 1-2) got a strong performance from UCLA transfer Drew Gordon, who had a career-high 23 points and 14 rebounds in his ninth game since becoming eligible last month. But it wasn’t enough, as the Aztecs snapped New Mexico’s 16-game home winning streak.

No. 7 Villanova 74, Maryland 66 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Corey Fisher scored eight of his 17 points during a 19-0 run and Villanova earned its 11th straight win.

The Wildcats (16-1) trailed by 12 midway through the second half and could not make a shot against one of the top defensive teams in the nation.

Jordan Williams had 25 points and 14 rebounds to give the Terps (11-6) a shot at the signature win against a Top 25 team that they’ve been craving.

Fisher snatched it from them and sent the Wildcats streaking into Monday’s Big East showdown at Connecticut.

Fisher hit a pair of 3s during the spurt and sent the crowd at their off-campus NBA home into a frenzy.

No. 10 Connecticut 82, DePaul 62 ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Kemba Walker scored 22 of his 31 points in the first half, Jeremy Lamb added 13 and Connecticut handed DePaul its 18th straight loss in Big East play.

The 31 points matched Walker’s career high in conference play, and he also had five assists and three steals. Alex Oriakhi had 11 points for the Huskies (14-2, 3-2), who never trailed in winning their fourth straight against DePaul.

Cleveland Melvin, who verbally committed to UConn before changing his mind, had a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds for the Blue Demons (6-11, 0-5). It was the fifth straight loss for DePaul, which has gone almost a year since its last Big East win.

Roswell Daily Record

The Coyotes fell behind by 14 in the second quarter, only to battle back to within two before trailing 31-24 at the break. In the third, Roswell went down by 13 and again battled back, but couldn’t complete the comeback. “(Santa Teresa) has a good team, but it’s a game we probably should have won,” said Coyote coach Britt Cooper.

“They’re solid and their size bothered us.

“Hopefully we learn from (the loss). It should make us better.”

Deyton DeLaCerda led Roswell (10-3) with 19 points. Jonathan Ervin added 14 for the Coyotes.

Alamogordo 83, Goddard 74 ALAMOGORDO — Goddard played with Alamogordo, but could never get over the hump after playing catch-up for most of the night in a loss to the Tigers in Alamogordo.

“We just kind of came out a little flat. We were just always playing catch-up,” said Goddard coach Kevin Jones. “We just could never get over the hump.

(Alamogordo) played pretty good and we struggled a little bit defensively.

Steelers

“They just outhustled us.”

Alamogordo grabbed a fivepoint lead through one with a 24-point quarter and never gave the lead back en route to the win.

Chase Salazar led Goddard (10-6) with 19 points, while Erik Johnson added 16. Lane Vander Hulst and Brandon Cooper each poured in 10 for the Rockets.

Hagerman 68, Tularosa 59 DEXTER — Hagerman exacted some revenge on Saturday by beating Tularosa in the championship game of the John Reid Invitational.

Hagerman (17-0) jumped out to a 16-10 lead through the first quarter and had a 29-28 lead going into the second half. The Bobcats then won each of the final two quarters by four points to seal the win.

“The team played well throughout the whole game,” said Bobcat coach Anthony Mestas. “We played well all four quarters, made free throws when they counted and it was just overall a good game.”

The win avenged Bobcat losses to the Wildcats in last year’s state basketball semifinals and during the football regular season.

“That was still on our mind and we talked about it before the

game,” Mestas said about getting revenge on Tularosa. “Plus, they beat us in football, so it felt good to beat them in basketball.”

Edward Montoya was named the tournament’s MVP and led Hagerman with 25 points and six steals in the title game.

Isaac Bejarano and Michael Garcia were also named to the all-tournament team. Bejarano had 20 points and seven dimes and Garcia had 18 points and 13 boards in the title game.

Dexter 65, NMMI 41 DEXTER — The Demons won every quarter and cruised to a 24-point win over the Colts in the third-place game of the John Reid Invitational on Saturday.

“The guys did a good job defensively and our shots were falling,” said Dexter coach James Bracken. “Like I told the guys, whenever you play defense and make stops, it simplifies your offense.

“I’m very pleased. I think this is the highest we’ve placed in our own tournament in a long time. Hopefully, come time for district, we start peaking.”

The Demons outscored NMMI by at least seven points in the first, second and fourth quarters en route to the victory.

Tyler Miles led Dexter (8-8) with 15 points, while Steven

Marquez added 11. David Lopez grabbed a team-best eight boards for the Demons.

Colt coach Pilar Carrasco said his team just had a letdown after battling Tularosa on Friday.

“We just kind of had a letdown from the (Tularosa) game,” he said. “We played our best game of the year (Friday), but it was that whole thing of two steps forward, then two steps back.

“We just played really tired and looked lethargic.”

Ethan Elks and Tyler Nelson led NMMI (2-10) with seven points apiece.

Lovington 64, Gateway Chr. 26 DEXTER — The Wildcats forced 20 first-half turnovers and ran out to a 32-5 lead at the break en route to a victory over the Warriors in the fifth-place game of the John Reid Invitational on Saturday.

Warrior coach Troy Grant said the turnovers are what killed his team’s chances in the opening half.

“First-half tur novers just killed us,” he said. “You can’t have that many turnovers and (Lovington) just equated that into points because they are so quick.

“They’re a good team.”

Flacco’s fourth-down pass at the Steelers’ 38 with 1:03 remaining.

Failing to protect the ball cost the Ravens — even after they scored two touchdowns in less than 30 seconds in the first half.

Defensive end Cory Redding returned a Roethlisberger fumble for a touchdown that both teams thought was an incompletion, but that wasn’t nearly enough on a day when the Ravens offense did so little.

“What better way to put the Ravens out of the tournament,” Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said.

“They keep asking for us and we keep putting them out of the tour nament.

They’re going to be ticked about this for a long time.”

With Baltimore up 21-7, R yan Clark forced a rare fumble by Ray Rice on a screen pass, and LaMarr Woodley recovered at the 23. The play re-energized the crowd of 64,879 that had grown silent as Baltimore opened its two-TD lead.

“You know what, our offense went in there (at halftime) and said, ‘We played terrible, we gave them the ball in prime position too many times,’ “ Roethlisberger said. “We had to do something about it.”

Mendenhall ran for 14 yards before Roethlisberger’s 9-yard scoring pass to Heath Miller, who missed two games after sustaining a concussion on a hit by Jameel McClain during the Steelers’ 13-10 win in Baltimore last month.

Later in the quarter, Flacco overthrew tight end Todd Heap, and Clark returned the interception 17 yards to the 25. Three plays later, Roethlisberger found ol’ reliable Ward, absent in the offense most of the day, for an 8-yard touchdown pass and it was tied at 21.

Along the sideline, the Ravens had the look of a team that couldn’t believe

Mason Miller led Gateway (212) with 15 points, while Garrett Gill added six.

Lake Arthur 44, Dexter JV 41 DEXTER — Lake Arthur overcame a deficit in the final 2 minutes to pick up its seventh win of the year on Saturday, beating the Dexter junior varsity team in the seventh-place game of the John Reid Invitational.

Dexter took the lead for the first time with less than 2 minutes left in the contest, but the Panthers battled back to regain in the lead. In the final minute, Angelo Rivera went 4 of 4 from the charity stripe to ice the win for Lake Arthur.

“We just didn’t have a great showing,” said Panther coach Mark Lopez. “But, fortunately, we played well enough to come away with a win and we’ll take a win.

Angelo Rivera led three Panthers (7-7) in double figures with 15, while Jacob LeBlanc added 12 and Domingo Pisana had 11.

Lake Arthur was forced to play nearly the entire game without the services of Chance Ortiz, who rolled his ankle early in the first quarter and never returned.

Kyle Bonner and Adrian Zambrano led Dexter with nine points each. Kevin Bonner added eight.

it had squandered the lead — and couldn’t figure out how to get it back. They never did.

Roethlisberger went 19 of 32 for 226 yards as he beat the Ravens for the seventh successive time in a rivalry in which both teams had won twice by 3point margins during the last two seasons. The asterisk: Roethlisberger didn’t play in either Steelers loss.

Baltimore turned it over for the third time in nine minutes as center Matt Birk snapped the ball early to Flacco, who never got his hands on it, and Pro Bowl defensive end Brett Keisel recovered at the 23.

The drive stalled, but Shaun Suisham, who had missed earlier, converted a 35-yard field goal with 12:15 remaining to give Pittsburgh its first lead since its opening drive at 24-21.

An apparent Lardarius

Webb punt return touchdown was negated by a holding penalty on Marcus Smith, but the Ravens — with only 36 yards of offense in the half to that point — tied it at 24 on Billy Cundiff’s 24-yard field goal with 3:54 remaining.

That was too much time for Roethlisberger, who excels in fourth quarter comebacks.

The Steelers rallied despite losing both starting tackles, Flozell Adams (illness) and Jonathan Scott (leg), forcing even more patching of an of fensive line that lost its projected two tackle starters to injuries months ago.

Each team took advantage of a long pass interference penalty to score during a penalty-filled first quarter. Josh Wilson’s 37yard penalty for yanking on Mike Wallace led to Mendenhall’s 1-yard touchdown run on the Steelers’ first possession.

felt like I was in the zone.”

R yan, who beat out Rodgers for a spot in the Pro Bowl, had a miserable night. He also was picked off in the end zone, costing Atlanta another scoring chance early on that might’ve changed the complexion of the game, and lost a fumble attempting a simple sneak. In two career playoff games, Matty Ice is 0-2 with six turnovers and a safety.

The Falcons went into the playoffs as the NFC’s top-seeded team for only the second time in franchise history. The result was the same as the first time: one and done.

At least the fans didn’t have to deal with the heartache of blowing a 10point lead in the fourth quarter, the fate suffered by the 1980 Falcons in their 30-27 loss to Dallas.

This game was pretty much over when Rodgers guided the Packers on an 80-yard drive to open the second half, running the last 7 yards for the TD that made it 35-14.

When Rodgers drove the Packers on yet another scoring drive, capped off with a 7-yard pass to John Kuhn late in the third quarter, thousands of redclad fans headed for the exits, not even bothering to hang around for the final period of a magical season than turned into a green nightmare in the playoffs.

In the locker room afterward, Falcons coach Mike Smith tried to make sense of it for his players.

“I know they’re disappointed. I’m disappointed.

We’re all disappointed,” he said. “But we will lear n from it. That’s the impor-

The Falcons simply couldn’t stop Rodgers, who carved up the Atlanta defense on four drive of at least 80 yards.

Time after time, Rodgers ducked a shoulder or pulled off a nifty spin move to get away from a rusher, leaving him grasping at air.

Rodgers put that extra time to good use, inevitably finding the open man in what became an increasingly tortured night for the

Falcons.

Early on, Rodgers spent plenty of time picking on Falcons nickel back Christopher Owens, who was filling in for injured Brian Williams. Owens was twice called for penalties in a desperate bid to slow Rodgers and his deep receiving corps.

The second half was just one long victory lap for the Packers, whose hefty contingent of fans was able to move down right near the edge of the emptying Georgia Dome and serenade their team with “Go, Pack, Go!” chants.

For the Falcons, nothing but misery.

Johnny “John” Owen

Memorial services are scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011, at LaGrone Funeral Chapel for Johnny “John” Owen, 78, who passed away Jan. 8, 2011. Dr. Thomas Ramage will officiate.

He then advanced to the semi-finals in Chicago as the N.M. lightweight boxing champion in 1951, while attending NMMI on a scholarship obtained from the Roswell Sertoma Club.

John graduated college in 1954, from NMMI with a Bachelor of Science degree.

John was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Armor Division. After basic ar mor training at Ft. Knox, John was sent to Ft. Benning, Ga., for airborne training and became a paratrooper, Ft. McClelland, Ala., for chemical warfare training, Gary Air Force Base in San Marcos, Texas, for fixed wing flight training, and then graduated as a fixed wing pilot. He was sent to Fort Rucker, Ala., and graduated from helicopter training. John was then assigned to Straubing, Germany.

From 1956 to the early part of 1959, John’s primary duty in Germany was to patrol the Czechoslovakian border from Passau to Nuremberg during the Cold War period between the United States and Russia.

Smith Construction Co., who had built approximately 600 homes over the years in Roswell. Upon the closing of Walker Air Force Base, Mr. Smith discontinued the construction of new homes.

Roswell’s economy changed drastically, and the real estate of fice of John Owen, Inc., was for med. He became the president of the Roswell Board of Realtors in 1965.

During his Board of Realtors’ presidency, he and Mayor Gail Harris assisted in the start-up of “Retire in Roswell” program, along with VA and FHA for the handling of approximately 3,000 foreclosures when Walker Air Force Base closed.

The program helped Roswell work itself out of this problem, and became known as a good example of what could be done by other cities having base closures.

He became the first Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) in Roswell and has participated in residential and commercial properties, investments and partnerships for more than 50 years.

House catches fire on West 6th Street; no one injured EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

A house on West Sixth Street caught fire, early Saturday mor ning after the homeowner left a candle bur ning in the den while she was outside feeding her cats. Police say no one was injured.

The battalion chief of the Roswell Fire Department, John Bergener, said the flame quickly spread from the downstairs dining area to the attic.

“It appears we got most of it, and we have crews going through the structure,” he said while standing outside the home around 10:30 a.m.

Bergener said that the 12 fir efighters who r esponded to the call

would do two complete sweeps of the pr emises before leaving.

The solo occupant of the home, Julie Baxley, said she was outside in the backyard feeding her two cats, Domino and Baby Girl, and chatting with her neighbor, Jim Shaw, who was taking out the trash.

“I kept hearing pops, and I smelled smoke, and I asked him what was going on, and he said ‘Your house is on fir e,” Baxley said.

Shaw, a for mer RFD firefighter, said he saw the fire through the window, and put out the initial flames with a fire extinguisher.

“The smoke got to her, so I went in and knocked it down,” Shaw said.

They wer e for ced to evacuate when the fir e kept blazing and the smoke became too dense.

“Everything’s inside,” Baxley cried, standing outside in her pajamas watching white smoke billow from the attic.

Baxley said she was worried that her cats ran downstairs into the basement, where they always go when they’re scared.

Neighbors gather ed around her and comforted her as she cried.

“It’s just breaking our hearts,” said Virginia Shaw, Jim Shaw’s wife. “I was taking a shower and Jim told me Julie’s house is on fire. I thought he was kidding.” emiller@roswell-record.com

Miss Nebraska wins 2011 Miss America pageant LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 17year-old from Nebraska became the youngest winner of the Miss America crown in 90 years on Saturday after beating 52 other young women from across the United States.

T eresa Scanlan won a $50,000 scholarship and a yearlong run with the crown at the competition at the Planet Hollywood casino-resort in Las Vegas, giving the Cornhusker State its first-ever win at the pageant.

She was the youngest Miss America since the pageant’s first competition in 1921, when Margaret Gorman of the District of Columbia won at age 15.

Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady won $25,000 as first runner up, while Miss Hawaii Jalee Fuselier won $20,000 for third place.

Scanlan, a recent high school graduate from the wester n Nebraska town of Gering, planned to study American politics at Patrick Henry College in Virginia after her reign as Miss America.

She also hoped to attend law school, become a judge and eventually a politician, according to her pageant biography.

Scanlan won after strutting in a black bikini and a white evening gown, playing “White Water Chopped Sticks” on piano and telling the audience that when it comes to the website Wikileaks, security should come before public access to government information.

“You know when it came to that situation, it was actually based on espionage, and when it comes to the security of our nation, we have to focus on security first and then people’s right to know, because it’s so important that everybody who’s in our borders is safe and so we can’t let things like that happen, and they must be handled properly,” she said.

The contestants — from every state plus the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico — started the show by dancing up the aisles while wearing silver cocktail dresses.

A panel of seven judges eyed them for looks and fitness. The competition included evening

gown, talent and interview portions, with eliminations for 15 finalists, then 12, then 10, five and finally the winner along the way.

The judges had picked Miss Oklahoma Emoly West; Miss T exas Ashley Melnick; Miss Rhode Island Deborah SaintVil; Miss Utah Christina Lowe; Miss Washington Jacquie Brown; Miss Arizona Kathryn Bulkley; Miss Virginia Caitlin Uze, and Miss California Arianna Afsar.

Fans voted in Miss New York Claire Buffie and Miss Delaware Kayla Martell.

And in a first-ever twist for the contest, the young women picked two finalists themselves, Miss Kentucky Djuan Trent and Miss Oregon Stephenie Denise Steers.

In her introduction to the audience, Bulkley dedicated her per for mance to U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gif fords, who was shot in the head last week in Tucson. Bulkley called Giffords her mentor.

The pageant celebrated its 90th anniversary this year.

Soap opera off air in Venezuela after gov’t demand CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A Venezuelan television station has stopped airing a Colombian soap opera after gover nment regulators demanded its removal saying the program was of fensive and denigrating to Venezuela

as a country.

The soap opera “Chepe Fortuna” features an unscrupulous secretary named “Venezuela” who has a dog called “Little Hugo,” an apparent reference to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

“What disrespect for Venezuela!” Chavez said in a speech to lawmakers Saturday. “That soap is so horrible!”

The private TV channel T eleven did not air the program on Friday after regulators demanded the

show be dropped from the lineup.

“At least T eleven agreed,” Chavez said.

The character Venezuela, in contrast to her sister named Colombia, “is repeatedly characterized as associated with illegal activities, meddling and vulgarity,” Venezuela’s telecommunications regulatory agency Conatel said in a statement.

Chavez noted the program featured the dog named “Little Hugo” and said it’s disrespectful to the country that the character Venezuela is portrayed as ill-mannered, overweight and “arrogant.”

The regulatory agency

accused the soap opera of promoting “political intolerance” and notified Televen on Thursday that it should pull it off the air.

Televen, whose majority shareholder is Omar Camero Zamora, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The channel maintains a neutral stance toward Chavez’s socialist-oriented government.

The channel Venevision, which is owned by Gustavo Cisneros, and Televen both once took hardline stances against Chavez’s government but in recent years have curbed their criticism.

The government in 2007

SUPPORT ROSWELL

RECYCLE

forced another anti-Chavez channel, RCTV, to halt broadcasts. That left Globovision as the sole stridently anti-Chavez channel left on the airwaves.

“Chepe Fortuna” is produced by Colombian network RCN. Miguel Angel Baquero, producer of “Chepe Fortuna,” denied that the soap opera promotes intolerance.

Filming of the show began in 2009, when relations between the neighboring countries were at a particularly tense moment.

The two governments have since smoothed over tensions and pledged to maintain respectful relations.

‘Rescue Me’ set to end near somber anniversary PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The FX firefighters’ drama “Rescue Me” will end its seven-year run less than a week before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

FX President John Landgraf said Saturday that the Sept. 6 finale date was chosen intentionally. The series, with Denis Leary as the star and co-creator, is a story about New York firefighters dealing with the grief of losing friends and relatives in the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.

“It seemed appropriate not to air it on the day,” he said, “because there are more solemn and appropriate things to do on the day. The weeks surround-

ing the day seemed to be the appropriate place to do it.”

The end of the series will deal on some level with a catharsis that comes at the end of the grieving period, he said.

Leary’s character Tommy, whose best-friend cousin died at ground zero, saw some of his wounds reopen at one point in “Rescue Me” when a journalist appeared to research the tragedy for a 10th anniversary book.

Landgraf said the series has been a real milestone for FX, which has only been around as a television network for a decade. Its quality and distinctiveness set a tone, he said.

“It’s hard to find that kind of a show,” he said.

A Souper Bowl for a super cause

Lend-A-Hand of Roswell Inc., seeks to foster the growth and expansion of human and community services and to address the problems of poverty, homelessness and other issues affecting the quality of life through its memger agencies with the funding and resources available.

ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR

For many people a bowl of soup is warming on a cold day, good with a sandwich or a salad, or possibly healing for those who are ill.

A bowl of soup is at once simple, easy and good.

But for those who wake up hungry and go to bed still hungry, a bowl of soup can make an enormous difference.

That's why the staff of Lend-AHand and volunteers from area churches and the community are working together to help tackle hunger.

Lend-A-Hand of Roswell, Inc., is a faith-based non-profit charitable organization dedicated to helping those in need in Chaves County through its provider agencies, which provide emergency utility assistance, food, prescriptions and some emergency shelter. Lend-A-Hand agenices respond to an estimated 10,000 families each year and its food pantries distribute about 15,000 pounds of food each month.

Lend-A-Hand will be taking part in the Souper Bowl of Caring, a nationwide effort to utilize the time leading up to the annual Super Bowl to mobilize people — and youth in particular — to fight hunger and poverty in communities by giving non-perishable food and cash donations to charity.

The Souper Bowl fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Lend-A-Hand office, 400 W. Third St. Tickets are available at the door; cost is $20 for adults, $10 for children — soup, bread and desserts from area restaurants such as Martin’s Capitol Cafe, Portofino’s, Golden Corral and Roswell Regional Hospital.

Everyone is welcome, said Judy Morones, executive director of Lend-

A-Hand.

“Sometimes you don’t know where to go eat — come to this and you will have the chance to try six or seven different restaurants at one time,” she said.

From its beginnings 21 years ago

in S.C., the Souper Bowl of Caring has raised more than $71 million for charities. In 2010, the Souper Bowl raised more than $10.1 million nationwide from 13,041 groups, which collected some 5.1 million pounds of food.

In N.M. in 2010, the Souper Bowl raised $17,766 from 34 groups, which collected 6,000 pounds of food.

All donations and funds raised stay in Chaves County, Morones said. The donations are essential, she said, because “eating is a basic human need.”

Lend-A-Hand and its member agencies — including the Salvation Ar my Food Pantry Services, St. Peter’s Good Samaritan, Kids’ Closet, Roswell Outreach Center, Presbyterian Outreach, the Community Action Program and the Community Kitchen — are seeing more and more families coming each day in need of assistance.

The need is real, she said. The need is high in Roswell and people from all walks of life are lining up at area food pantries to receive assistance, she said.

“Everyone needs to eat,” she said.

“We want to bring awareness (to the problem of hunger in Chaves County). We want to draw attention and compassion (to the issue). We want to encourage people to donate.”

Roswell residents will have the chance to donate food at Farmers Country Market locations — Lend-AHand will be at the store’s North Main Street location from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 22 and Jan. 29. There will also be free face painting, sponsored by Unforgettable Children’s Parties, with a donation from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We’re taking donations of canned, boxed, non-perishable food items,” she said. These items, she added, will be distributed to the Lend-AHand agencies the week after Feb. 5.

Assessing talent doesn’t have to be cruel exercise

Q: I have a 17-year -old daughter who dreams of a career as a singer, but she isn’t very good. I know that sounds bad coming from her mom, but it's true. What do you recommend we do?

JULI: Let's face it. Very few kids have the talent to be the next “American Idol” or Heisman Trophy winner. But we live in a society that consistently spotlights performance and celebrity.

Too many young adults dream of stardom and fame that are out of their reach. Yet, as a parent, it’s tough to tell the truth to our kids without feeling like we're killing their dream.

My advice to you is to speak truth, lovingly. You don't have to come out and say, “You can't sing.” At 17, she’s going to be running into natural roadblocks that will help her gauge her ability compared to others. Your job is to cast a picture for her of a different dream: “You have a love for singing and music. I’ll bet you use that in your life, even if you don’t become a performing artist. Maybe you’ll teach music or lead a church choir.”

One of the great gifts my parents gave me my senior year of high school was career testing. Local universities often have counseling or career development departments that offer tests measuring ability, aptitude, interests and personality. When you put the results together, a young adult can get some solid, objective feedback about which career paths may be the best fit. Although it may cost several hundred dollars up front, it can save thousands of

dollars and years of wasted college classes.

What your daughter most needs to know is that she doesn't have to be a star to earn your love and support. ** ** ** Q: I played the trumpet in high school, and it helped give me a life-long appreciation for music. I want my son to experience the same thing, but he refuses to pick up an instrument. What should this frustrated dad do?

JIM: I can certainly understand your desire. What dad doesn’t want his son to be a “chip off the old block”? I definitely enjoy watching my own two boys developing an interest in some of the same things that interest me.

A recent study from Canada, though, reveals that parents who want their children to discover a passion for music or sports need to take a hands-off approach.

There’s nothing wrong with encouraging your son to take up the trumpet, but don't push him into it. If he does end

up deciding to play an instrument, it might not be for the joy of music. He might just be doing it out of a sense of obligation, or the fear of disappointing you.

The Canadian study revealed another danger with parents forcing their kids to pursue only the hobbies that mom and dad think they should. Some kids with highpressure parents will embrace the hobbies their folks pick out for them, but they’ll become obsessed with those pursuits later on. Their hobby will consume them. Their entire identity can become wrapped up in being a quarterback or a clarinet player. But when they throw an interception or make a mistake in the orchestra, their selfesteem plummets.

Certainly, parents need to be persistent about impressing morals and values on their kids. We don’t want them to draw their own conclusions about what is right and wrong. But research suggests that when it comes to hobbies, sports and other pastimes, we need to grant them some autonomy, and allow them to develop the unique gifts and talents God gave them. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Tiger mom’s memoir meets ferocious roar

BY LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS A new memoir of bad-ass parenting, Chinese style, from a self-proclaimed tiger mother has unleashed a ferocious roar.

Fallout was swift for Yale law professor Amy Chua after she published a stark essay in The Wall Street Jour nal describing the harsh words and heavy handed methods she used with her two teen daughters.

Her “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” shot to No. 6 in the Amazon sales rankings Tuesday, the day it was released, likely fueled by angry buzz over the weekend column and a headline Chua had nothing to do with: “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior.”

Adult offspring of Asian and Asian American immigrants are weighing in on Chua’s provocative description of Eastern-style parenting: No sleepovers or playdates. Grueling rote academics. Hours of piano and violin practice. Slurs like “lazy” and “garbage,” and threats to burn stuffed animals when things don’t go mom’s way.

Some see truth and a borderline abuser. Others see dangerous stereotype with the potential to feed China haters and xenophobes. Still others publicly thanked their moms online for similar, though less extreme, methods.

Few had read the book themselves, missing out on more facetious nuances and details on Chua’s journey to a softer approach with Sophia, 18, and Louisa, nicknamed Lulu and about to celebrate her 15th birthday with — gasp — a sleepover party.

“It’s been tough on my

kids,” Chua said Wednesday. “They want to speak out over the thing that has hurt me the most, when people say, ‘Oh, doesn’t that kind of strict parenting produce meek robots?’ My daughters could not be further from meek robots.

They’re confident, funny, kind, generous, with very big personalities, and they’re always calling my bluff.”

Chua, 48 and the daughter of Filipino immigrants of Chinese descent, insists her tone in the book is selfdeprecating. It’s a point she considers lost in the blogosphere, including heat from moms employing current Western philosophies she doesn’t consider better or worse, but more lax and undisciplined.

“My first reaction was, ‘Is this a joke?’ I kept waiting

for the punch line,” said Frances Kai-Hwa Wang, 44, a second-generation Chinese American and mother of four in Ann Arbor, Mich.

She had parents with high expectations but none of Chua’s histrionics. “Her methods are so crude. The humiliations and the shaming. The kids will hear that voice in their heads for the rest of their lives.”

Christine Lu’s memories of her tiger mom growing up in Los Angeles are laden with sorrow. Mom’s ramrod tactics failed on her (“life at home used to be horrible”) but they worked on her older sister. She hit 28 and spiraled into a depression that led to her suicide after the startup where she worked fizzled.

“She graduated from Harvard with an MBA. That was the first time she had

ever experienced failure,” said the 34-year -old Lu, who was born in Taiwan and moved to LA with her parents and three siblings at age 2.

She stopped short of blaming her mom, adding: “It’s the culture. Amy is a product of the culture, too.”

It’s a book of extreme parenting, for sure, a memoir and not a how-to manual, Chua cautions. Her parenting choices were conscious and reflect her upbringing: No TV, no pets, no computer games, no grades under A, no parts in school plays, no complaints about not having parts in school plays, no choice of extracurricular activities, nothing less than top spots in any school class except gym and drama, no musical instruments except piano or violin.

When Lulu had trouble with a tricky piece of music, Chua denied her bathroom breaks and threatened to ship off her dollhouse to the Salvation Army, piece by piece, until she got it right — which she did with pride, mom at her side.

When she pushed back at age 13, rejecting the violin, mom allowed for tennis instead, keeping a keen eye on her game.

Betty Ming Liu, 54, grew up in New York City’s Chinatown, the oldest of two girls of Chinese immigrants with high expectations and abusive tactics.

“This is a topic so close to my heart,” she said. “It’s frightening to see that Amy Chua is still doing it. She’s young. She’s educated.

She’s American born. She’s not an immigrant and for her to perpetuate this ... is frightening.”

Winter storm that shut down the South turns north Roswell Daily Record

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The snow-and-ice storm that has shut down much of the South slowly rolled toward the Northeast on Tuesday, revealing a regional culture clash along the way.

Souther ners seemed resigned to waiting out winter headaches such as slick roads and paralyzed airports. But people from Ohio to New York, who face up to a foot of snow in their third blast of winter in as many weeks, were already putting pressure on state and local governments to spare them from travel tangles and snow-choked roads.

Across the South, communities remained encrusted in ice and snow for a second straight day. Road crews fared little better than in the storm’s opening hours, owing mostly to their lack of winter equipment. Frustrated motorists sat idle on slippery pavement or moved at a creep.

Millions of people just stayed home.

In Atlanta, which had only 10 pieces of snow equipment when the storm hit, of ficials planned to bring in nearly 50 more pieces — the most resources marshaled for a storm in a decade. Mayor Kasim Reed said backup supplies of salt and sand were on the way, too. delivery was Mail restricted to just a few places because postal employees could not get to work. Many schools and other institutions planned to stay closed Wednesday out of caution. The storm has been blamed for 11 deaths and many more injuries.

Despite the inconvenience,

Southerners confronted the aftermath with patience — and a certain amount of wonder.

L ynn Marentette, a school psychologist who lives south of Charlotte, stayed home after classes were canceled. She spent the day catching up with friends on Facebook and watching children sled down a nearby hill — and ignored the stack of paperwork on her desk.

“It is a beautiful, beautiful day out there,” she said. “I have some paperwork and some things I’ve really put off doing, but how often do you have a chance to enjoy the snow?”

Nobody seemed to be complaining much at Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, either.

“It’s a once-in-a-decade event. There is no reason to prepare for it. It is not a

wise spending of funds,” said Brent Taylor, an executive for the United Way who was pulling a sled carrying his 5-year-old daughters, Elise and Grace.

In Columbia, S.C., Will Nelson gingerly made his way down an icy sidewalk Tuesday, trying to get some lunch from a nearby Chickfil-A. The 72-year -old retired lawyer said he was impressed with the condition of the roads considering what little snowremoval equipment most Southern cities and states own.

“We’re from hardy stock.

A little bit of this isn’t going to hurt us,” Nelson said.

“Plus, it’s the sunny South.

Most of the time it snows one day and it is gone the next.”

NTSB debates air bags for planes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal safety of ficials weighed Tuesday whether to recommend that some planes be equipped with air bags and shoulder -lap seatbelts, safety devices that have been saving lives in automobile crashes for decades.

The board released a study of general aviation planes equipped with air bags that highlights several cases in which air bags were critical to the survival of pilots or passengers, or which reduced serious injuries.

General aviation aircraft range from single-engine propeller planes to multiengine business jets to helicopters. The category includes all aircraft except scheduled airline service, air taxis and military aircraft.

More than half the new general aviation planes sold today have both lap-shoulder belts and air bags, the board said. But NTSB officials say that accounts for only about 7,000 planes out of more than 200,000 general aviation planes registered in the U.S. The average general aviation plane is over 40 years old, the board said. Aviation air bags were approved by the Federal Aviation Administration in 2003. Some air-

Sunday, January 16, 2011

craft manufacturers, including Cessna and Cirrus, began including them as standard equipment on new planes beginning in 2005.

The NTSB study looked at 138 accidents involving planes equipped with airbags over three years ending in July 2009. Investigators described two crashes in particular — in Fullerton, Calif., and Boyceville, Wis., in which air bags were found to have reduced chest and head injuries to pilots and passengers.

The board also examined 37,000 accidents between 1983 and 2008. It found 50 percent more injuries in planes with lap-only seatbelts than in planes with lap-shoulder belts.

AmSafe Inc. of Phoenix, the only U.S. maker of air bags for planes, has documented 20 cases over the past several years in which its air bags were important to the survival of general aviation pilots and passengers, Joseph Smith, an AmSafe manager, said in an interview.

There were 474 people killed in 1,474 general aviation accidents in 2009, the latest year for which NTSB figures are available. While accident rate for commercial airlines has dropped

significantly over the past decade, the general aviation rate for the same period has remained largely unchanged.

One reason the board is interested in examining the benefits of air bags for general aviation planes is that the accident rate for general aviation planes is more than five times greater than small commuter airlines or air taxis, NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said.

Air bags have been required in cars since the mid-1990s, and shoulder har ness seatbelts even longer.Unlike automobile air bags, AmSafe air bags are integrated into either the shoulder harness or lap portion of airplane seatbelts. The NTSB repeatedly has recommended since 1970 that the FAA require general aviation planes be equipped with combination lap-shoulder seatbelts. Its predecessor, the Civil Aviation Board, first recommended FAA require planes be equipped with shoulder belts in 1964. However, unlike the auto industry, there is no requirement for shoulder belts in planes.

AmSafe doesn't make air bags for helicopters, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be possible, Smith said.

Ohio to New England, a region already tired of winter after digging out from two stor ms in recent weeks.

Those wintery blasts included a Christmas weekend blizzard that provoked anger in New York City — where the first flakes started falling late Tuesday and reached 4.5 inches in Central Park early Wednesday — and New Jersey over the slow cleanup.

Andre Borshch, owner of a chimney maintenance company in New York, worried that the city could come to a halt again.

“I’m not sure anybody’s going to make the right decisions,” he said. “Alaska and Canada spend six months like this, and they have no problems. But here in New York, the city doesn’t know what to do with

snow. It’s like they’ve forgotten how to do it.”

New York City and its suburbs could get 8 to 14 inches of snow, with reduced visibility and wind gusts up to 35 mph, forecasters said. Long Island could get as much as 15 inches. In New England, forecasters were predicting up to a foot across most of Connecticut and the Boston area.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino late Tuesday declared a snow emergency, which bans parking ban on all major streets and cancels public schools.

By Tuesday evening, widespread flight cancelations moved from the South into the Northeast and Great Lakes ahead of the storm.

More than 3,500 flights had been scrubbed for Tuesday and at least 1,000 more were expected to be

canceled Wednesday from Atlanta to Chicago to Boston. American expected hundreds of cancellations, but one type of flight was sacrosanct — international ones leaving out of New York’s Kennedy Airport.

In Atlanta, trucker Vernon Cook, 67, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., had been sitting idle on an interstate ramp in Atlanta for almost 24 hours. His semi stood in a long line of tractor trailers that couldn’t move because of ice.

“I’ve been a trucker for 46 years and have seen nothing like this,” said Cook, who was hauling a load of synthetic rubber from Beaumont, Texas, to Fayetteville, N.C. “I’ve always been stuck for a little short time, even in Chicago. Georgia DOT is not working, not on this road.”

But elsewhere, people seemed accepting, and in some cases cheerful, about canceling plans for school, work and errands.

Atlanta city Councilman Kwanza Hall spent much of Monday sledding and shoveling alongside his neighbors. He said many of his constituents didn’t mind staying in for part of the workweek.

“We’re very fortunate this time because the stor m didn’t knock most of the power out,” Hall said. “So you still have war mth, lights and television. You just can’t go anywhere.”

Passengers stranded at an Atlanta bus station were helped by good Samaritans, including a woman who made the 15-mile drive from Smyrna, Ga., to drop off sandwiches.

Amanda Knox defense team encouraged by witness conviction

ROME (AP) — A defense lawyer for Amanda Knox, the U.S. college student serving a 26-year prison sentence for the murder of her British roommate, expressed optimism Saturday that a drug charge conviction of a prosecution witness might help the American in her appeal in Italy.

The defense always maintained that Antonio Curatolo, a homeless man in the university town of Perugia, wasn’t a credible witness, Luciano Ghirga told The Associated Press in Rome. Perugia court offices were closed Saturday, and officials could not be reached to confirm Italian news reports that Curatolo had been convicted earlier in the week for dealing drugs. It wasn’t immediately known what his sentence was or if he had been jailed.

In the first trial against Knox, Curatolo testified that he saw Knox and fellow murder trial defendant Raffaele Sollecito chatting near the apartment house the night Meredith Kercher was slain in 2007. Sollecito, an Italian who was Knox’s boyfriend at the time, was also convicted of the slaying and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Both defendants are appealing their convictions. The next hearing in the appeals trial in Perugia is scheduled for Jan. 22.

“We have always said that he was not a credible witness,” Ghirga said, referring to Curatolo. “It was the court that held he was credible.” The drug charge conviction “will be an additional thing to help prove the witness is not credible,” Ghirga said in a phone interview. Seeking new witnesses is a key defense strategy in the appeals trial, with Knox’s lawyers hoping new witnesses will refute Curatolo’s assertion.

Curatolo had told the lower court that he had seen Knox and Sollecito chatting on a basketball court hear the house where the American woman and Kercher shared a rented flat the night Kercher was stabbed to death. The victim’s body was found in a pool of blood in her bedroom on Nov. 2, 2007. Forensic experts said Kercher, her throat slit, died the night before.

Knox and Sollecito were convicted in December 2009 of sexually assaulting and murdering Kercher. Both deny any wrongdoing. The American’s defense has argued that she spent the night of Kercher’s slaying at Sollecito’s house in Perugia, watching a movie, smoking pot and having sex.

Convicted separately in a lower court trial and an appeals trial of the murder is Rudy Hermann Guede.

New guidelines would make school lunches healthier WASHINGTON (AP) — Schoolchildren would have to hold the fries — and pick up more whole grains, fruits and vegetables — on the lunch line under proposed new federal standards for school lunches.

The Agriculture Department proposal applies to lunches subsidized by the federal government and would be the first major nutritional overhaul of school meals in 15 years.

They are expected to be announced Thursday.

The guidelines, which were obtained

by The Associated Press and confirmed

by USDA, would require schools to cut sodium in those meals by more than half, use only whole grains and serve low fat milk.

They also would limit kids to only one cup of starchy vegetables a week, so schools couldn’t offer french fries every day.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the new standards could affect more than 32 million children and are crucial because kids can consume as much as half of their daily calories in school.

“If we don’t contain obesity in this country it’s going to eat us alive in terms of health care costs,” Vilsack said Wednesday, prior to the release of the guidelines.

While many schools are improving meals already, others are still serving children meals high in fat, salt and calories.

The new guidelines are based on 2009 recommendations by the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after President Barack Obama signed into law a child nutrition bill that will help schools pay for the healthier foods, which often are more expensive.

That new law also will extend similar nutrition standards to foods sold in schools that aren’t subsidized by the federal government, including “a la carte” foods on the lunch line and snacks in vending machines.

The announcement is a proposal, and it could be several years before the USDA issues a final rule on the standards and schools are required to make changes.

The new USDA guidelines would: — Establish the first calorie limits in school meals.

— Gradually reduce the amount of sodium in the meals over 10 years, with the eventual goal of reducing sodium by more than half.

— Ban most trans fats.

— Require more servings of fruits.

DEAR ABBY: My 92-year-old mother is the most hateful woman you have ever met. My husband and I took her into our home because she could no longer care for herself.

She immediately took over everything, telling us what to do, being demanding and complaining that nothing was ever right.

She tried to discipline my wellbehaved kids, ages 15 and 21.

She attempted to treat them the way she treated us, using foul language, hitting and verbally abusing. My husband and kids have called me at work saying I need to get home immediately because Mother was out of control.

We told her we’d cook her meals because she could no longer use the oven. We modeled appropriate examples of interacting with the kids, but she just didn’t get it. We finally had to put her in a nursing home.

Now we are wracked with guilt.

Did I do the right thing? My siblings didn’t want her because of her long history of abuse. I’m in no hurry to visit her at the home, either. Why couldn’t she be the kindly grandma and parent that many children have?

GUILT-RIDDEN IN TUSTIN, CALIF. DEAR GUILT-RIDDEN: Probably because she was modeling behavior she learned from her own mother and possibly because she is demented.

Frankly, it was unrealistic to expect that she would suddenly change from the person she has

As a manager for the New Jersey Poison Center, I have seen many disasters when people repurpose or reuse containers to store chemicals. All chemicals should be left in their original childresistant containers, which have the directions for use on them.

Unfortunately, people will take leftover chemicals such as antifreeze, windshield-washer fluid, pesticides, oven cleaners, lamp oil, etc., and transfer them to smaller containers when the original bottle is partially empty.

People place these leftover chemicals in empty soda bottles, fruit-drink bottles, baby bottles, etc.

been for the past 92 years into a Disney character — and I don’t mean Cruella De Vil. Did you do the right thing? All things considered, yes. However, you should not abandon your mother. As a loving daughter — which you have tried to be — I’m advising you to try a little harder.

Visit her. Bring her something to distract her. If she’s able to be moved, take her out for a meal.

When she’s gone, you, unlike your siblings, will have nothing to regret.

DEAR ABBY: My son “Rob” and his fiancee invited me to join them at a dinner his father and stepmother, “Jane,” are hosting. Rob’s grandmother, brother and sister-in-law will be there, as well as Jane’s two sons. I love them all and thought they loved me.

Apparently, Jane doesn’t want me to attend! No reason was given. I was shocked. Jane and my ex were always welcomed in my home and life. I wished them well when they married after dat-

I took care of them for several days after a hurricane. I even flew her youngest son to join Rob and me at a theme park. Now when I look back, I realize Jane never reciprocated.

Rob and I are heartbroken. He wants nothing to do with Jane and doesn’t want her at his wedding. He’s furious with his dad for letting Jane make the rules.

Rob doesn’t want to attend their dinner. Abby, I am sick that I have apparently caused a rift in the family. Please tell me how to deal with this.

STUPEFIED IN THE SOUTH DEAR STUPEFIED: Take the high road and encourage Rob to attend the dinner. This is Jane’s party, and as the hostess it was her privilege to invite you — or not. Rob should not have assumed that he could dictate her guest list.

While you have done everything you can to be a friend to Jane and have one large, happy extended family, she may feel competitive toward you. Or she may regard you as a chapter in her husband’s life that she would prefer to be closed. Regard it as a reflection on her and her own insecurities. Be smart, take your cue from this and step back.

As to Jane attending Rob’s wedding — if he wants his dad there, he may have to accept her presence. But that decision is Rob’s to make. Do not allow yourself to be dragged into it.

I would appreciate if you would print in your column the dangers of using containers to store chemicals they were not originally meant for.

Release of Suu Kyi may boost Myanmar tourism Roswell Daily Record

INLE LAKE, Myanmar (AP) — The boatman turns off the engine and lets his long boat glide along Myanmar’s Inle Lake, as foreign tourists soak in the stunning scenery of villages built on stilts dotting the shorelines of the massive freshwater lake ringed with picturesque mountain ranges.

Ngae Ni, 35, graduated as a chemist more than a decade ago but he became a boatman because he could not get a better job in Southeast Asia’s only militaryruled nation and one of its poorest.

He earns up to $250 a month ferrying foreigners around the lake.

“I hope that ... more tourists will come here. They should really see the poverty in our country with their own eyes,” he said during a recent trip, flashing a smile with his betel nut-stained teeth.

He may get his wish. The release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest in November appears to be opening the way for more tourists by easing concerns that visiting the country is a signal of support for Myanmar’s military dictatorship.

Suu Kyi herself, in an interview with The Associated Press shortly after her release, said large group tourism wasn’t encouraged, but “individuals coming in to see, to study the situation in the country might be a good idea.”

International activist groups, which have long called for a tourism boycott, have followed Suu Kyi’s lead and softened their stance, now only asking that tourists snub package tours and cruise ships, which are often operated by government cronies.

Colorado-based Asia T ranspacific Journeys, which specializes in custom journeys and small group trips to Asia, said bookings to Myanmar have surged 150 percent since November compared to a year ago, as more travelers now feel more comfortable visiting the country.

Even before Suu Kyi’s release, the tourism issue long divided activists both inside and outside Myanmar.

Supporters of a boycott believed tourism dollars sent the wrong signal and helped fund a government that still holds some 2,000 political prisoners.

But others argued that tourism gave the isolated Myanmarese a rare opportunity to connect with the outside world, and that visitors give moral and sometimes even financial support to communities in need.

Also, the government is less involved in tourism than in the past, with many state-owned hotels and other tourism assets sold to private investors in the past decade.

Myanmar, however, remains a relatively remote destination for most, and no one expects an overnight tourism boom.

Suu Kyi’s release isn’t likely to draw Americans in large numbers, partly

because Asia isn’t high on their travel list and many consider the country dangerous following the military’s violent crackdown on in 2007, said Douglas Shachnow, head of the Florida chapter of the Pacific-Asia Travel Association.

“The release is just not a big issue,” he said. “There are other more long-standing factors that will ... (limit tourism to) all but the most interested, inquisitive, open-minded travelers with the financial wherewithal.”

Still, tourism has been growing for several years, if from a small base.

Arrivals to Myanmar surged 34 percent to 212,500 in the first nine months of last year and may hit a record of 300,000 for all of 2010, according to the Bangkok-based Pacific-Asia Travel Association.

Asians make up about two-thirds of the arrivals, Europeans 22 percent and Americans only 8 percent.

The total is a far cry from the 14 million who visit neighboring Thailand every year, the 4 million who go to nearby Vietnam, and the 2 million each to Cambodia and Laos.

Myanmar tourism revenue hit $196 million in 2009, almost double what it was in 2002, the Pacific travel association said.

Tourism isn’t a main revenue earner for the government, compared to the billions the junta makes from natural resources such as timber, jewels, oil and

NEW YORK (AP) — With 500 million people using Facebook, and 40 million reviews on TripAdvisor, integrating the two could provide a powerful way to help travelers get advice — not from anonymous strangers, but from people they know and trust.

A new online vehicle hopes to do just that at http://www.tripad visor.com/instantpersonalization.

You’ll need to log into Facebook, then sign in to your TripAdvisor account.

Now look on the top of the TripAdvisor page for a “Sign in with Facebook” tab.

Click there and a window will pop up seeking permission to connect the two accounts.

Once the dialogue is established, you’ll be able to easily identify which friends can offer information on which destinations.

You’ll see TripAdvisor reviews written by your Facebook friends and a map with pins that show what cities your Facebook friends have marked in the “Cities I’ve Visited” Facebook app.

Among my choices: colleagues from work, a woman I went to high school with, and a 20-something cousin.

The TripAdvisor page also gives me a clickable list of my Facebook friends’ activity and reviews on TripAdvisor.

I see that a friend recently stayed at a trendy boutique hotel in Manhattan I’ve been reading about elsewhere, but after reading her review, I’m not sure I want to go there: “Offbeat location is a plus, attitude a minus.”

natural gas.

Some of the country’s tour operators are hoping for a bumper year with new hotels set to open this year.

Myanmar also joined with Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos last year in a campaign to encourage tours combining their countries.

The sector is hampered by a string of issues including poor infrastructure, limited tourism facilities and difficulty in getting visas.

Many areas, especially along the country’s border, are closed to tourists.

The Internet is unreliable and credit cards are useless due to international sanctions, making it a hard-cash country.

In December, travel operators preparing for the busiest time of the year were dealt a blow when the government suspended the operations of private airline Yangon Airways in a move seen as politically motivated. The carrier’s owner is linked to a fractious ethnic minority group.

Despite the impediments, Myanmar appeals to travelers with its spectacular landscape and wide of ferings from ancient Buddhist monuments to jungle trekking, bucolic villages and beach holidays.

One of its key attraction is Bagan, one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological sites where more than 2,000 ancient Buddhist temples and stupas dot

the vast dusty plain.

Others include Inle Lake, home to Ngae Ni’s Intha tribe, famed for their unique one-leg rowing technique and floating vegetable gardens.

Bernard Dufour, 62, from Reunion Island off the coast of Madagascar, said he had skipped Myanmar in the past but decided to visit in November with his wxife on friends’ recommendations. He said he made sure to support local residents and avoid state-run facilities.

“It’s a beautiful country. I don’t feel it’s wrong to visit as long as I am not supporting the government,” he said as he sat cross-legged on the dusty floor of a small meditation cave nestled in a hillock near Inle Lake during a jungle trek.

According to government data, there are some 6,000 licensed tour guides and companies as well as more than 600 hotels and accommodation across the country. But in a country where a third of the population lives below the poverty line, many villagers are increasingly depending on tourism to supplement their income.

Many young people learn English and other foreign languages to become parttime tourist guides.

Children as young as 6 are often seen at major tourist spots, hawking souvenirs to foreigners.

Jan Zalewski, analyst with Londonbased research house IHS Global Insight, said Myanmar is much more open today than it was two decades ago, suggesting that further engagement — including investment in tourism — could lead to a further opening-up.

“By supporting private ventures such as small guesthouses, as well as a fair degree of exposure to the Burmese people, such tourism could indeed contribute to the development of a population which might be able to provide stronger checks and balances to the policies of the government,” Zalewski said.

Foreign travelers have engaged and touched many poor communities along the way.

A new one-story school block opened in a village nearby the meditation cave in late 2009, sponsored by a Japanese couple. Some 100 tribal children now no longer need to trek for an hour to school.

In their former school, teachers appeal for donation. The names “Mama Oo and Mama Judy from Australia” were scrawled on a small new whiteboard that contrasted with the bare crumbling facilities, reminding the children to thank their benefactors who had donated books, pencils and rice.

About two dozen children, ages 6 to 10, dutifully perform a medley of English nursery rhymes and local songs for foreign visitors, swaying their hips and clapping their hands as they dance while standing on old wooden chairs.

Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States just passed a dubious milestone: Gover nment debt surged to an all-time high, topping $14 trillion — $45,300 for each and everyone in the country.

That means Congress soon will have to lift the legal debt limit to give the nearly maxed-out government an even higher credit limit or dramatically cut spending to stay within the current cap. Either way, a fight is ahead on Capitol Hill, inflamed by the passions of tea party activists and deficit hawks.

Already, both sides are blaming each other for an approaching economic train wreck as Washington wrestles over how to keep the government in business and avoid default on global financial obligations.

Bills increasing the debt limit are among the most unpopular to come before Congress, serving as pawns for decades in high-stakes bargaining games. Every time until now, the ending has been the same: We go to the brink before raising the ceiling.

All bets may be off, however, in this charged political environment, despite some signs the partisan rhetoric is softening after the Arizona shootings.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says failure to increase borrowing authority would be “a catastrophe,” perhaps rivaling the financial meltdown of

2008-2009.

Congressional Republicans, flexing muscle after November’s victories, say the election results show that people are weary of big gover nment and deficit spending, and that it’s time to draw the line against more borrowing.

Defeating a new debt limit increase has become a priority for the tea party movement and other smallgovernment conservatives.

So far, the new GOP majority has proved accommodating. Republicans are moving to make good on their promise to cut $100 billion from domestic spending this year. They adopted a rules change by House Speaker John Boehner that should make it easier to block a debtlimit increase.

The national debt is the accumulation of years of deficit spending going back to the days of George Washington. The debt usually advances in times of war and retreats in peace.

Remarkably, nearly half of today’s national debt was run up in just the past six years. It soared from $7.6 trillion in January 2005 as President George W. Bush began his second term to $10.6 trillion the day Obama was inaugurated and to $14.02 trillion now.

The period has seen two major wars and the deepest economic downturn since the 1930s.

With a $1.7 trillion deficit in budget year 2010 alone,

and the gover nment on track to spend $1.3 trillion more this year than it takes in, annual budget deficits are adding roughly $4 billion a day to the national debt. Put another way, the government is borrowing 41 cents for every dollar it spends.

In a letter to Congress, Geithner said the current statutory debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion, set just last year, may be reached by the end of March — and hit no later than May 16. He war ned that holding it hostage to skirmishes over spending could lead the country to default on its obligations, “an event that has no precedent in American history.”

Debt-level brinkmanship doesn’t wear a party label.

Here’s what then-Sen. Barack Obama said on the Senate floor in 2006: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance the government’s reckless fiscal policies.”

It was a blast by the freshman lawmaker against a Bush request to raise the debt limit to $8.96 trillion.

Bush won on a 52-48 party-line vote. Not a single Senate Democrat voted to raise the limit, opposition that’s now complicating

Kids Closet Clothes Drive

White House efforts to rally bipartisan support for a higher ceiling.

Democrats have use doomsday rhetoric about a looming government shutdown and comparing the U.S. plight to financial crises in Greece and Portugal. It’s all a bit of a stretch.

“We can’t do as the Gingrich crowd did a few years ago, close the government,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., referring to government shutdowns in 1995 when Georgia Republican Newt Gingrich was House speaker.

But those shutdowns had nothing to do with the debt limit. They were caused by failure of Congress to appropriate funds to keep federal agencies running.

And there are many temporary ways around the debt limit.

Hitting it does not automatically mean a default on existing debt. It only stops the government from new borrowing, forcing it to rely on other ways to finance its activities. In a 1995 debtlimit crisis, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin borrowed $60 billion from federal pension funds to keep the government going. It wasn’t popular, but it helped get the job done. A decade earlier, James Baker, President Ronald Reagan’s treasury secretary, delayed payments to the Civil Service and Social Security trust funds.

A new tax and accounting business is coming to Roswell.

Income Tax & Accounting Professionals, Rael Inc., located at 207 N. Union Ave., Suite A, will open its doors for business on Monday, Jan. 17.

Isaac Rael, 72, founder and CEO of Rael, Inc., said it is his dream to expand his business, headquartered in Espanola since 1967.

“I’ve always had a desire to branch out and to be in as many cities in N.M. as possible,” Rael said. “That’s been my dream.”

Rael branched out to Santa Fe in the early 2000s, and hopes to expand to Albuquerque and Clovis next.

“Right now is the time,” he said. “We are a familyoriented business, and it looks like we’re ready to

jump into the situation.”

Rael, a Questa native, got his start in the business 40 years ago. He worked for the New Mexico State Investment Council for 13 years and before that, received his degree in accounting and business administration from Westmar College (now Westmar University) in Le Mars, Iowa.

“I have enough experience and education to handle anything: any tax problem, any accounting problem,” Rael said. “I’ve been there, I’ve done it.”

Rael’s daughter -in-law, Sandra Rael, will act as the Roswell branch manager.

Sandra, 40, has lived in Roswell with her husband for the past 15 years.

“He’s wanted to expand his business for a while,” Sandra said. “I am very excited that he’s going to get to see the dream he’s had for so many years come to pass.”

GM expands recall emiller@roswell-record.com

NEW YORK (AP) — General Motors is expanding an earlier recall of some 2011 model-year trucks and SUVs to fix a problem that could cause the vehicles’ rear axles to lock. The recall, originally announced in December, now covers 26,751 Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs. The models affected are: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Cadillac EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Colorado, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; and GMC Canyon, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL. GM said rear-axle cross pins, used to hold the axle in place, weren’t properly heat-treated and may not be durable. They can fracture, interfere with the axle and cause it to lock. The driver could then lose control of the vehicle.

One customer has reported a loss of power to the axle, GM says. But no crashes have been reported.

US sales of video game content flat in 2010 SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. retail sales of new video games dropped in 2010, but revenue from mobile game “apps” and other new formats helped keep the total amount spent on video game content unchanged from a year ago, according to market researchers NPD Group Inc. NPD said Thursday that sales of video games made for consoles, portable gaming devices and personal computers dropped 5 percent to $10.1 billion.

However, NPD said increased sales of used

games, digital downloads, games for smart phones and games played over social networks kept video game content sales at $15.4 billion to $15.6 billion for 2010 — about flat with 2009.

The numbers underscore the growing role of mobile devices and social networks such as Facebook.

“The dynamics of games-content purchasing changed dramatically in 2010,” said NPD analyst Anita Frazier in a statement.

Frazier said she expects

game sales to increase again in 2011.

Video game console sales slipped 13 percent to $6.3 billion in the U.S. in 2010, NPD said. Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 was the only console to sell more units than it did in 2009.

In December, traditionally the biggest month for video game sales, console sales declined 9 percent to $5.1 billion. Total sales of video game software at retail, which includes PC games, slipped 5 percent to $2.5 billion during the month, compared with the same month in 2009.

The best-selling hardware system in December was the Nintendo DS, a handheld gaming system.

Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo’s of America, called the holiday shopping season “exceptional” for the company.

David Dennis, a Microsoft spokesman, said the company couldn’t keep up with demand for Xbox 360 consoles in December, but despite shortfalls Xbox had its biggest month to date, with 1.9 million units sold.

Video game accessory sales rose 10 percent to

$778.4 million in December, led by sales of Microsoft’s $150 Kinect motion-sensing controller.

Microsoft would not say how many consoles were bought together with Kinect in December, but has said it sold 8 million Kinect units in November and December.

The top-selling game in December was “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” the shooter from Activision Blizzard Inc., which has versions for all the consoles and for the PC. The game broke entertainment records after its November

launch, bringing in $1 billion in worldwide revenue in its first six weeks in stores.

“Just Dance 2” from Ubisoft Entertainment for Nintendo’s Wii and “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm” from Activision Blizzard for the PC were the second and third biggest selling games in December.

For all of 2010, “Black Ops” was the top-selling video game. The No. 2 game was “Madden NFL 11” from Electronic Arts Inc., followed by “Halo: Reach” from Microsoft for the Xbox 360.

Delayed again, ‘Spider-Man’ may set another record

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway’s “Spider -Man: Turn Off the Dark” has already become the most expensive show ever mounted on Broadway. Soon it may reach another milestone: The show stuck in previews the longest.

Producers delayed the $65 million show for the fifth time Thursday, pushing the opening date to March 15 to fine-tune and put in a new ending. Lead producer Michael Cohl promised this is “the final postponement.”

The change means the show, when it opens, will break what is considered the record for most preview performances — 71 — held

by Arthur Laurents’ “Nick and Nora” in 1991. That may not bode well for the comic book hero, which has enjoyed 37 previews so far and now has more than a month of them to go: “Nick and Nora” lasted only a week after finally opening officially.

The “Spider-Man” musical — the dreamchild of “Lion King” director Julie Taymor with music by U2’s Bono and The Edge — hasn’t been hurt at the box office by the raft of injuries, cancellations, the defection of a lead actress, in-show delays and postponements.

The new opening delay doesn’t really hurt the musical, whose costs easily dwarf Broadway’s last costliest show, the $25 million “Shrek the Musical.”

Though producers are charging full-price for tickets, the show is still selling out the 1,930-seat Foxwoods Theatre in T imes Square almost each night, and last week the webslinger tale took the week’s box-office crown from the

Oz musical “Wicked.”

In a statement, Taymor said: “We are so grateful for the enthusiastic audiences who have been coming to see ’Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ and we are dedicated to giving them the very best show we can.”

Once a show officially opens, it is considered frozen and no more tinkering is allowed. The latest delay was somewhat expected since a big, spectacular finale still seemed absent.

Audiences at previews were also confused about the role of Arachne, Spider -Man’s evil love interest.

Bono and The Edge, both newcomers to writing musicals, returned from touring this month to help fix the show’s problems. In a statement, they said: “We are looking for the extraordinary here and we are nearly there.”

The show has been built specifically for the Foxwoods Theatre, meaning a traditional out-of-town tryout to fix glitches wasn’t possible. Cohl has said he considered delaying previews until the production had gelled better, but argued that the cast and crew had to bite the bullet eventually, even if they risked embarrassment and bad press.

The show’s massive costs — a 41-member cast, 18 orchestra members, complicated sets and dozens of daring aerial stunts, including a battle between two characters over the audience — mean the theater will have to virtually sell out every show for several years just to break even. The weekly running bill has been put as high as $1 million. (T ickets are priced from $67.50-$135 for week-

day performances and $67.50-$140 for weekend performances. Top premium seats go for more than $275.)

The delay is likely to reignite a simmering debate among theater critics about how to handle preview performances that stretch out for months. Already the

lengthy delay to “Spider Man” has prompted some critics to publish their own preliminary reviews, breaking a customary rule. They argued that the show was a legitimate news story and that the full-price cost of tickets meant audiences had a right to know what to expect.

One person who is championing the show is conservative commentator Glenn Beck, who has seen “Spider-Man” twice and is giving it glowing reviews both on the air and on his Twitter account. “This is better than ’Wicked!”’ he raved Wednesday on “The Glenn Beck Program,” which has

an estimated 6 million listeners.

Years in the making, “Spider -Man: Turn Off the Dark” had financing woes before its first stunt was executed. Originally scheduled to open Dec. 21, the show was postponed to Jan. 11 and then to Feb. 7. Now it will be March.

Box Office Preview: Most green going to ’Hornet’

AP Photo In this film publicity image released by Columbia Pictures, Seth Rogen is shown in a scene from "The Green Hornet."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The movie business has suffered a down streak at the box of fice for nine straight weeks but the unlikeliest of super heroes will attempt to save the day this holiday weekend as Seth Rogen stars in the big-screen version of “The Green Hornet.” Industry buzz has the Sony/Screen Gems 3-D thriller opening on top in the high $30 million range through Sunday night.

The ironic casting of a goofy comedy star in the title role will draw audiences looking for a decidedly tongue-in-cheek action experience. Combine that with the addition of numerous IMAX screens, a Martin Luther King weekend release that also takes advantage of the less-competitive January marketplace and “The Green Hor net” should become the first official box-office hit of 2011.

Notably, the film is directed by indie auteur Michel Gondry, who helmed “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and other offbeat films, and features co-stars Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz and

Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou as the sidekick Kato.

Of course, one dynamic duo deserves another and Vince Vaughn and Kevin James will give audiences a comedy choice with Ron Howard’s “The Dilemma,” in which the discovery of a wife’s infidelity leaves one of the buddies in the predicament of how to tell his best friend. With a strong cast that includes Jennifer Connelly, Winona R yder, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah, the Universal film should grab the date crowd and a second-place finish in the high teens.

The third and fourth spots will be filled by two films that have bridged the gap between critical and commercial success: the Coen Brothers’ “True Grit,” which is fast becoming one of the highestgrossing Westerns of all time, and “Black Swan,” which takes the ballet film to new commercial heights. Look for “Grit” to collect a reward of around $10 million and “Swan” to twirl its way to a weekend performance of just under $10 million.

The ’Importance’ of Oscar Wilde proved again NEW YORK (AP) — The sure sign of a good actress is that you forget, over the course of two hours, that the woman you are seeing is, in fact, a man.

Such is the case with Brian Bedford, who has adopted Lady Bracknell’s haughty sensibility and her stern Victorian gowns in a terrific new Roundabout Theatre Company production of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Ear nest” that opened Thursday.

While it’s fashionable these days to have the monstrous Bracknell tackled by a man, Bedford never seems tempted by the drag casting to veer toward camp, even when served up some of the best Wildean lines. His lips perpetually pursed as if sucking on a lemon, Bedford scowls and peers imperiously without ever betraying his real chromosomal makeup, even winkingly.

Having a male actor in the role is perfectly in sync with a frothy comedy about false identity that takes huge swipes at the manners and mores of the upper crust in late 1800s England. While initially appearing as silly as a soap opera, Wilde’s play is a sly slap at elite conceptions of truth and honesty, with hints at a homosexual subtext.

Bedford pulls double duty as both Bracknell and as the director of an

excellent cast that features Dana Ivey as Miss Prism, Paxton Whitehead as the Rev. Canon Chasuble, Santino Fontana as Algernon Moncrieff, David Furr as John Worthing, Charlotte Parry as Cecily Cardew and Sara Topham as Gwendolen Fairfax.

The play concerns the double lives of two wouldbe bridegrooms who get caught in their own lies when each falls head-overheels for two lovely young women. The plot, though, isn’t why this is a hysterical work. It’s full of Wilde’s wit and wordplay, and Bedford makes each shine.

The zingers fly: “To lose one parent,” Lady Bracknell says at one point, “may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.”

Algernon offers another: “All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”

Building much character within these lines isn’t easy, but the pair of lovers by the end come across as more than mere vapid playthings. Fontana plays Algernon as a sly rogue, while Furr is a jumpy and preoccupied Worthing.

Their verbal jousting comes to quite a yeasty apex over a basket of muffins.

Parry, as the naive and yet forceful Cecily, and Topham, as the glamorous but quick-to-scrap Gwen-

though sometimes hard to hear. Whitehead, as her crush, is delicious as a bookish man who is adorably clueless.

Wilde was modestly inclined to downplay the importance of this comic masterpiece. To a friend, he admitted, “The real charm of the play, if it is to have a charm, must be in the dialogue. The plot is slight, but, I think, adequate.” To another, he wrote: “It is written by a butterfly for butterflies.”

He originally subtitled his play “A Serious Comedy for Trivial People” but changed it to “A T rivial Comedy for Serious People” to avoid the risk of of fending theatergoers.

Bedford clearly likes the original, and his production, which debuted in 2009 at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada, leaves Wilde’s real targets in the audience, not on the stage.

Desmond Heeley’s sets and costumes are — like the play — colorful and over-the-top. Stripes and bright bow ties and plaid and lovely Victorian gowns all compete for attention along with his two interior sets — packed with oversized vases, drapes and gilt-edged furniture — and

Heeley also hand-painted the curtain, which bears the initials “VR” for Victoria Regina.

“The Importance of Being Ear nest” was Wilde’s last play. Only weeks after it debuted in London to raves, Wilde would ef fectively be on trial for homosexuality and one of the world’s greatest wits would soon be lost to prison.

As this production proves beautifully, his last play was no mere farce.

Beneath the drag casting and the luxurious costumes and the confection of words, Wilde left a complex work for the ages.
