In honor of Sage, local canine war hero, the city of Roswell celebrated Sage Day Saturday alongside a fundraiser for the Sage Foundation for Dogs Who Serve.

“I always tell her that it’s not always about her,” Diane Whetsel, Sage’s human companion, said.

“But today, I had to tell her ‘it’s all about you.’ She’s happy. She loves people.

This was fun for her.”

Sage’s exploits are numerous and worthy of praise. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she worked at the Pentagon. During the after math of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, she served disasters in the Gulf Coast. She has also been on a few tours in Iraq.

“She is not a huge dog or police dog, but she has seen and been in more horrifying places [than most people] and handled it so well,” Whetsel said. “[She has been] that soft fur to cry into if a soldier needed to or— just to snuggle

A bill that stops third-graders from being promoted to the fourth grade if they do not read proficiently cleared the House Education Committee, Saturday. After three days of hearings, the Committee voted 10-1 to pass the measure, which will head to the House floor this week.

The substitute bipartisan bill combines two similar pieces of legislation, one introduced by local lawmaker Rep. Nora Espinoza, RRoswell, and sponsored by Sen. Mary Jane Garcia, D-Doña Ana, and the other by Rep. Mary Helen Garcia, D-Doña Ana. “Both bills did the same thing,” Espinoza said in a phone interview from Santa Fe, “ and since it was two people— one was a Democrat

In an atmosphere filled with gospel music and the sounds of children playing in the sun, Roswell Parks and Recreation sponsored the first annual Black History Month Health Walk at Cielo Grande Recreation Park, Saturday.

Although the event was targeted at African-Americans, walkers represented various ethnic backgrounds of the Roswell community.

“The walk itself is open to everybody, because there is an obesity problem across the nation, there’s a diabetes problem across the nation, so this walk is open to everybody,” Alice Wagoner, walk organizer, said.

However, Wagoner seeks to raise awareness among the minority group most affected by diabetes and obesity.

“The health issues [among blacks] are very critical I think,” Wagoner said. “The numbers cited by the Centers for Disease Control for [black] obesity,

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama dropped the careful condemnation, threats of consequences and the reminders to Moammar Gadhafi’s regime about its responsibility to avoid violence. In their place he delivered a more forceful message to the Libyan leader: Leave.

The president called on Gadhafi to step down for the first time Saturday, saying that the Libyan government must be held accountable for its brutal AP Photo crackdown on dissenters.

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico will limit film production subsidies to $45 million a year under a proposal approved Saturday by a House committee after Democrats yielded to Republican demands to scale back the measure.

House Speaker Ben Lujan, D-Santa Fe, was unable to push through a higher subsidy limit, a reflection that Democrats no longer enjoy a solid majority in the House because of GOP gains in last year’s elections.

“It’s better than nothing,” Lujan said as the Taxation and Revenue Committee unanimously endorsed the

film subsidy measure. The bill goes to the House for debate and a possible vote.

The film industry opposes the revised measure.

“This is a job killer,” Eric Witt, executive director of the Motion Picture Association of New Mexico, said after the vote.

The bill was developed by House leaders as a potential compromise to free up about $25 million next year for budget increases sought

by GOP Gov. Susana Martinez for schools, health care and public safety programs.

Elks bowl for cerebral palsy Car wreck leaves one injured JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Roswell Elks Lodge No. 969 raised $800 at the first annual Elks Bowling for Cerebral Palsy fundraiser at Town Country Bowling Alley, Saturday.

“This is a benevolent protective order of Elks,” Rick Calloway, New Mexico Elks Association president, said.“We help people. We’re [dedicated] 100 percent to helping children, the afflicted and veterans. I’m really proud of the Roswell lodge and its members for doing this to help people in this area.”

More than 50 members of the community attended the all-day bowling event.

To kickoff festivities, Councilman Bob Maples read a proclamation on behalf of Mayor Del Jurney and the city of Roswell declaring February Elks Fighting Cerebral Palsy month.

For 60 years, the New Mexico Elks Association has supported individuals with cerebral palsy by providing them with equipment and supplies.

“All of the money raised today will stay in the state of New Mexico,” Nick Milliard, Elks esteemed loyal

Funds raised from Saturday’s event will go toward assisting local members of the community with cerebral palsy like Tevin Hilliard, 18, a Roswell High School graduate. The Hilliard family, with the help of the Elks, is looking to remodel their bathroom to make it easier for Tevin to get in and out of the bathtub.

“This is one way for us to help raise funds to do things like that,” Calloway said.

“It’s going to be easier for him [to use] and easier on

us,” Silvia Hilliard, who attended Elks Bowling for CP with her family Saturday, said. “They have helped us a lot. They are a wonderful group of people and I appreciate everything they’re trying to do to help him.”

Melina Cooper lands modeling contract EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

A 4-year -old girl with Turner syndrome landed a contract with a modeling agency after making the final cut of the American Mall Model Search audition in Albuquerque’s Cottonwood Mall last month.

The budding model and actress, Melina Cooper, daughter of Michael and Gerilyn Cooper, of Roswell, signed with Model Productions USA Inc., a Floridabased booking agency for professional models and actors.

“She’s really happy,” her father Michael said. “We said they’ll never call us, and two weeks later, they did.”

The peewee pro breezed through the three-day audition in mid-December at Cottonwood Mall, which included runway walks, a talent competition and photo shoots.

“She was up there waving and smiling and posing.

She just ate up the attention,” Michael said. “She was one of the last ones to go up (during the runway walk), and she totally just Monica Renee Marquez Jan. 13, 1969 to Feb. 5, 2010 We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the prayers, flowers, cards and food that we received during the loss of our beloved Monica Renee Marquez.

“The president stated that when a leader’s only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now,” the White House said.

The statement summarizing Obama’s telephone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel came as Libya’s embattled regime passed out guns to civilian supporters and sent armed patrols around its capital to quash dissent and stave off the rebellion that now controls large parts of the North African nation. Violence continued, a day after pro-Gadhafi militiamen and snipers fired on protesters trying to march in Tripoli

Bills 21 and 100, states that parents would no longer be allowed to sign a waiver that exempts thirdgraders from being held back if the student did not meet reading standards.

However, a student can only be held back for the same grade twice.

“This is a huge victory

for those who are trying to change the expectations in our schools,” Espinoza wrote in a press release.

“Students who aren’t proficient in reading will get the help they need, but no longer will they be passed from grade-to-grade without the required skills.”

Gov. Susana Martinez

and Public Education Secretary Hanna Skandera supported the measure in a press conference earlier this week for halting the practice of “social promotion,” or promoting public school students to the next grade if they lack required basic skills.

The Public Education

Department was not able to estimate the number of third-graders who would be held back, according to an earlier bill analysis prepared by the Legislative Finance Committee.

The LFC did note, however, that of the 25,000 third-graders in the state for school year 2009-2010,

42.6 percent scored below Proficient on the New Mexico Standards Based Assessment. Sixteen percent of third-graders managed to scrape by as reading proficient, scoring at the lowest level.

budget measure was pending in the House, with almost half of the money for public schools.

The state provides a 25 percent tax credit on expenditures by film and television projects in New Mexico. Martinez has advocated reducing the subsidy to 15 percent, saving about $25 million next year.

Democrats and film industry representatives have scrambled for weeks to find a middle-ground proposal that can win approval in the Legislature. Film industry supporters say a reduction in the rebate rate will dis-

courage movie and television projects from coming to New Mexico.

On Friday, Lujan had suggested a $65 million yearly subsidy limit. That was rolled back to $60 million when Lujan outlined his bill Saturday to the committee. However, the measure failed on a 77 tie, with Republicans and one Democrat opposing it.

“At some point your industry has to stand on its own two feet and not look to the rest of the state of New Mexico to hand out free dollars under the threat that you’re going to leave if they go away,” said

House GOP Whip Donald Bratton of Hobbs.

A GOP lawmaker suggested an alternative of a $40 million cap and that failed on a similar tie vote.

The committee took a break of nearly an hour, allowing Lujan to negotiate the $45 million proposal that was supported by Bratton and other Republicans on the panel. Witt said it was presented as a take-it-or-leave-it proposal to the film industry.

Although the measure will limit how much the state pays each year for subsidies, individual film projects shouldn’t see reductions in their total

subsidies. That’s because the state will spread its payments out to larger film projects over two or three years. A film production qualifying for rebates from $1 million to $5 million will be paid in equal installments over two years. There will be payments over three years for rebates of more than $5 million. Smaller projects, those getting subsidies of up to $1 million, will be paid in one year.

By deferring some subsidy payments to future years, lawmakers will free up about $25 million for budget increases in the coming fiscal year.

The state’s rebates have varied annually, hitting about $78 million three years ago and expected to be about $55 million this year.

If the legislation is enacted, Witt said, the state and the film industry could face trouble after several years as deferred payments accumulate and potentially exceed the annual $45 million limit.

That would leave nothing as incentives for new film projects and raise questions how the state would meet its obligations for any payments over $45 million in a single year.

mined to cling to power and crush opposition to Gadhafi’s rule.

Acting on its own, the administration announced a new measure Saturday when Clinton said the U.S. was revoking visas for senior Libyan of ficials and their immediate family members. New travel applications from these individuals will be rejected, she said.

The visa ban followed the administration’s moves Friday to freeze all Libyan assets in the U.S. that belong to Gadhafi, his gover nment and four of his children. The U.S. also closed its embassy in Libya and suspended the limited defense trade between the countries.

On the multilateral level, the administration joined in the U.N. Security Coun-

cil’s unanimous decision to extend the asset freeze globally on Gadhafi, his four sons and one daughter, and to establish a travel ban on the whole family along with 10 other close associates. The council also backed an arms embargo and referred the bloody attacks on protesters to a war crimes tribunal for investigation into possible crimes against humanity.

But it is still unclear how far the U.S. — and its international allies — might have to go to convince Gadhafi that his four -decade reign in Libya must end.

American military action is unlikely, although the administration hasn’t ruled out participation in an internationally administered protective no-fly zone.

and their leader told supporters to defend the nation.

Until Saturday, U.S. officials held back from fully and openly throwing all their support behind the protest movement, insisting that it was for the Libyan people to determine how they want to be led. The refrain echoed the public position maintained by the administration during the Egypt crisis, when the U.S. gradually dropped its support for longtime ally Hosni Mubarak but never explicitly demanded his resignation after nearly three decades in power.

Explaining the change, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Libyans “have made themselves clear” that they want Gadhafi out.

The tougher tone sets the stage for Clinton’s trip today to Geneva, where she will confer with foreign policy chiefs from Russia, the European Union and other global powers on how to drive home the message to a Libyan government detervator to where they can say ‘I will take other steps.’”

Other community leaders on hand included the Rev. Michael Shelton, of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and the Rev. Dr. Richard Gorham, of Ware Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Fire danger in NM

SANTA FE (AP) — Despite wintery weather across parts of New Mexico, authorities say wildfire danger is at high levels — especially in southern and eastern areas of the state.

New Mexico State Forestry Division officials say a recent increase in the incidence of wildfire has staff urging all state residents and visitors to be cautious with their use of fire, even on days when high winds aren't present.

In the past week, 19 wildfires have burned more than 5,800 acres, including the currently active Dog Canyon Fire in southern New Mexico.

Authorities say portions of the Rio Grande Bosque in the Albuquerque metropolitan area have moderate to very high fire danger as well.

OPINION

Legislative session is now starting to heat up

SANTA FE — After half a legislative session feeling each other out, our Republican governor and Democratic Legislature are starting to throw some punches.

Gov. Susana Martinez has hit Democrats with a coordinated campaign of radio ads and automated phone calls urging them to repeal the law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. Republican senators also have tried to tack amendments onto another driver’s license bill.

Democratic leaders say the outside pressure is unprecedented and they would much prefer the governor and her staff talk to them directly rather than whip up public support to pressure them.

Martinez’s tactic is very different from the approach of former Gov. Bill Richardson who made his desires very clear to lawmakers through personal meetings.

But the situation also is different. Richardson had the luxury of majorities in both legislative houses. Martinez must rely much more on outside pressure.

EDITORIAL

JAY MILLER

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

Martinez is using some of her leftover $500,000 of campaign funds to finance the radio ads.

Some Democrats are charging that Martinez is running her office more like a campaign headquarters.

Senate Democratic leader Michael Sanchez, of Belen, is questioning the credentials of Hanna Skandera to be the new secretary of education. Skandera will face Senate confirmation hearings sometime this session.

Our state constitution requires the leader of the Public Education Department be a qualified, experienced educator. Skandara’s college degrees are in business and public policy. She never has been a public school teacher or administrator.

Roswell Daily Record

She has held staff positions in state and federal education departments but is that enough to meet the letter of the law?

The question is untested. Our former elected state Board of Education required that the state superintendent of public instruction be qualified to teach or administer in New Mexico public schools.

But when education was moved under the governor in 2003, that provision no longer applied. It did not matter at the time because Gov. Richardson appointed the former superintendent of the Albuquerque Public Schools as his education head.

The argument can be made that Skandera does not meet our constitutional requirement. Since many of her decisions will affect teachers, many teachers are sure to prefer that their leader know what it’s like to be in a classroom every day.

But what we are doing now isn’t producing good results. Gov. Richardson made some major efforts in education that haven’t paid off, at least yet. Skandara’s

resume indicates she has had some successes in the area of education policy. My guess is that senators will give her the opportunity to see what she can do in New Mexico.

On the major responsibility of the Legislature, approving a budget, punches are beginning to fly.

Gov. Martinez is adamant about reducing the film industry’s rebate on expenditures made in New Mexico. A majority of House members, so far, have disagreed. Martinez would rather put the money in schools and Medicaid.

Whoa. Shouldn’t this be the other way around? House Democrats are supporting a big industry and our Republican governor wants to take money from business and give it to kids and the poor. We knew this session would be different, but who would have guessed this?

I’m still guessing that a final compromise will be to start charging interest on loans to companies filming in New Mexico and that we’ll get rid of that ridiculously

expensive advisor we have in Hollywood.

Another punch was thrown by public employees who held a noon rally at the Capitol to protest budget cuts being considered and to support Wisconsin public employees facing union-busting tactics by that state’s new Republican governor.

The tone of the rally seemed to be anger directed at Gov. Martinez but the film industry workers in the crowd really were the only ones to have much of a beef with her. So far, the governor’s budget proposals have been more favorable toward public employees than lawmaker’s proposals.

And they couldn’t be upset with her for union-busting tactics because so far Martinez has not joined other new Republican governors in that effort.

A festival united

We were gratified to learn that this year’s UFO Festival will be a joint venture undertaken by the city and the International UFO Museum and Research Center. For the first time since the city has entered into the UFO Festival business, city government and the museum will be working together.

It’s been clear to even casual observers that for the past few years Roswell has been the home of two separate UFO festivals.

Communication between the events was almost nonexistent. The city and the museum wouldn’t even merge their schedules to provide even a semblance of unity.

The result was that festival attendees would often be faced with missing out on some events because two programs would be scheduled at the same time in different locations.

We have high hopes for this year’s festival.

Roswell is home to the world’s most well known UFO incident. The festival is our city’s showcase event which helps promote a year-round tourism industry. It has in some years garnered national and international media attention. Our city puts on a variety of spectacular public celebrations, but this one should rightly be a priority.

There had been some discussion of the city cutting back on its funding for the festival. Critics said the money the festival brought in did not warrant all the money the city was spending. We said then, and repeat now, that the success of the festival can’t be evaluated simply based hotel rooms booked during the event and July’s gross receipts tax figures.

The Roswell Incident has garnered brandname recognition. Through the efforts of a small but dedicated group of people, the events of 1947 were preserved for decades until the story captured the imagination of the UFO community and the public at large.

Still more people have made it their mission to probe into the events which took place here to uncover additional information.

Our city is without question home of the most famous UFO incident on the planet.

There have been countless television documentaries, movies, books and news articles focusing on our city. There was even a television show bearing our community’s name for a few season. When it comes to the question of whether there is life beyond the stars, Roswell has made it into the big leagues.

To maintain our status, it’s important that we continue to put on the best annual festival possible. It’s unlikely that the events of today will tarnish the historical significance of the Roswell Incident, but when it comes to attracting tourists, we can’t simply rely on the fame of an event which took place some 64 years ago. We must treat our guests with courtesy and provide them with entertaining and educational events.

Just because our city is famous does not mean people will travel to our remote location if they hear unflattering stories regarding how we treat tourists. We have a great event to center our tourism industry around, now we must continue to build on that and develop a reputation as an out-of-this-world host to visitors from around the world, and possibly beyond.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am writing in response to the woman who complained of the watery eye. I suffered with bouts of watery eyes for a number of years. I first noticed it while visiting Las Vegas. After trying everything and having my eyes checked (the exam yielded nothing), and checking with my allergist, it was my sister who finally diagnosed it. I have dry eyes. Apparently one of the symptoms of dry eyes is watering, as unbelievable as that sounds. I immediately started using preservative-free artificial tears (at least two or three times a day) and haven’t had a problem since. It seems the dry hot air in Las Vegas escalated the problem, which

Government putting a price on our lives Back in the American Wild West, federal and state governments often put a price on the heads of infamous outlaws like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Sam Bass, Belle Star and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Today, our government is not so selective. It’s seeking to put a price on the head of every American. Not because they’ve robbed a train, but for a different reason that could lead to a very bad end.

Various government agencies have come up with formulas for determining how much we are worth. The Environmental Protection Agency

Roswell Daily Record

An elderly gentleman got up early one morning and decided to go for a walk along the nearby ocean shore. It was a cool morning, the sun had not yet risen and war med the day. As he approached the shoreline he saw a little boy bending over and standing up, bending over and standing up, over and over again.

The boy appeared to be frantically throwing things into the water.

The elderly gentleman walked toward the boy to see what he was doing. As he got closer he saw that there were starfish all along the shoreline for as far as he could see. Apparently the tide had gone out quickly leaving thousands of starfish stranded behind.

The man asked the boy, “What are you doing?” The little boy did not break stride, but told the man that if these starfish do not get back into the ocean right away, they will die. The man looked at the boy and said “It is hopeless. You’re wasting your time. You can’t save all these starfish. There are too many of them.”

The little boy never looked up.

Time was critical to him. He continued in his efforts. As he tossed a starfish to safety he said, “I know, but I made a difference in the life of that one!” He tossed

another starfish into the ocean and said, “And that one!” And yet another, “And that one!”

The little boy was focusing on the starfish he could save one at a time, not the hundreds he couldn’t. As in the case with the boy and the starfish, we make a difference in the lives of others one life at a time. Don’t worry about the starfish at the far end of the beach, take care of the one right in front of you.

I ask you the question, are you discouraged because there are others in the distance you can’t help or are you encouraged because of those right in front of you that you can help? Either way your shoreline is the same.

The difference is the perspective you choose.

This is the perspective Mother Teresa chose. It is the story of her life and her message to the world.

Mother Teresa was once asked to assist in the creation of a

grandiose hospital that would be named after her. It was pointed out to her that through the hospital she could affect the lives of many. When asked her thoughts she responded, “God did not call me to minister to the millions, but to minister to the one in front of me.” Mother Teresa understood the importance of making a difference one life at a time.

What I want you to understand is that she was born into this world just like you or I. She did not possess any magical powers when she was bor n. She just made good choices aimed at making a difference in the life she lived. She lived her life one day at a time and one life at a time.

Remember Pee Wee Reese, former shortstop for the Brooklyn Dodgers? He made a difference.

Most of you are familiar with Jackie Robinson, he was the first African-American to play major league baseball. He broke the color barrier in the late 1940s. He was consistently heckled, spit upon and objects were regularly thrown at him. His own teammates didn’t care for him. Opposing pitchers were instructed to throw at him. Robinson faced jeering crowds, death threats and loads of abuse in just about every stadium he visited because of the color of his skin.

Sunday, February 27, 2011

On a hot afternoon one day in his team’s home town ballpark in Brooklyn he committed an error when he booted a ground ball hit to him. Immediately, his own fans began to ridicule him as they broke loose with boos. As you are aware, there is no place to hide at second base. He stood there humiliated, alone in front of God and everyone, while his team’s fans continued to jeer at him.

Pee Wee Reese walked over to him from his position at shortstop and stood next to Jackie Robinson. He put his ar m on Jackie’s shoulder and waited. The boos continued for one minute, two minutes and into a third minute. Finally, the booing stopped. It was not until then that Pee Wee dropped his arm from Jackie’s shoulder and walked back to his position at shortstop.

Jackie Robinson later recalled as he stood there on that afternoon, he was at the end of his rope and he had had enough. He said he was on the verge of walking off the field and hanging up his spikes when shortstop Pee Wee came along side him. On that afternoon, Pee Wee Reese’s arm on Jackie’s shoulder saved Jackie’s career.

Who do you need to come along side of? Who needs your uplifting,

Count your change

Dear Editor: I would like to bring something to the attention of all who might still use cash to make a purchase (I know that number is dwindling). I hope I am wrong, but some personal experiences and stories from friends have me wondering if there is a new way (or maybe it’s an old way) of making a few extra dollars for some folks (definitely not all) who run cash registers.

Most recently I was shorted $1 from my change for a $20 bill. When I backed up to the drive-up window after having pulled away, I related the problem to the cashier. Rather than opening the register, she handed me $1 from somewhere else and showed no remorse nor made any apology (if anything, she looked a little

The beauty of our form of government is that it begins, not with government, but with us: “We the People.” In our Declaration of Independence from Britain, there is a clause that sets us apart from virtually all other nations.

Instead of receiving our basic rights, such as the right to life, from a king or despot — as was the case in older cultures and too many modern ones — America’s Founders saw basic rights emanating from “our Creator” and thus, outside the reach of government and bureaucratic tampering.

Where could a formula for a governmental valuation of human life lead? If gover nment gets to deter mine our worth, it could lead to gover nment determining when in its judgment we are worthless. It could lead to government deciding that when we are costing the state more than we are paying in

Too extreme? “It couldn’t happen here,” you say? All great horrors begin at the extremes and work their way into the mainstream because of moral weakness or exhaustion, or self-regard, or the rejection of (or ambivalence about) certain fundamental truths. Such neglectfulness paves the way for the great inhumanities, which today are studied in schools. They wonder, “how it could have happened” and “why didn’t anyone see this coming?”

How and why, indeed? Consider yourself warned.

Lost eyelid elasticity can cause dry eye, as you experienced. In other cases, it may simply represent a cosmetic annoyance. To the best of my knowledge, surgical repair is the best and the only permanent solution.

Anyone with dry eyes should be under the care of an ophthalmologist, who can offer the greatest number of treatment options and determine whether there is an underlying cause, such as Sjogren’s syndrome.

encouragement and support?

Whose shoulder can you put your arm on and make a difference?

My challenge to you today is to make a difference every day you live on one life. It is not a complex thought. It is actually quite simple. Who is one life who you can touch and lift up today?

Don’t be overwhelmed or discouraged by the countless lives in the distance that you cannot reach. Focus on the one God places in front of you. Help that life. As is stated in Matthew 25:40, “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’”

Mother Teresa truly believed this.

She modeled this for us in the life she lived.

Your arm on the shoulder of another can make all the difference in the world in the life of that single person. Who is it that you need to come along side?

Make a difference, do it today, one life at a time.

A friend related an incident where she had sent her teenage daughter into a store to “buy a little something” and bring her the change from a $100 bill.

Please understand that I do not condone that method of obtaining change for such a large bill, however, when the mom checked the change a little later, she realized the daughter had been shorted $20.

Human error? I hope so, but honesty sure is harder to find these days.

The moral of the story is: Remember to check your change as soon as it is handed to you.

It may save you from being shortchanged, whether on purpose or just by human error.

Safely selecting your babysitter

This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by the N.M. Department of Health and the Roswell SAFE Coalition Entrusting someone to care for your kids is almost always challenging. Finding a qualified babysitter requires time and effort, but your reward is assurance that your child is in capable hands. You'll want to find someone who is mature and friendly, has common sense and a genuine fondness for children.

The recommendations of people you know and trust are your best bet for finding a reliable and capable babysitter. If you're new to the area and don't know how to go about finding a sitter, ask your neighbors or coworkers for recommendations, inquire at your place of worship, or ask staff in your pediatrician's of fice for suggestions. If your child is enrolled in a daycare or after-school care program, staf f members who are already familiar with your child may be willing to either babysit or provide sitter recommendations.

Interviewing sitters and checking their references will help you narrow down your choices. Prepare a list of questions to ask ahead of time. Ask about a sitter's experience caring for kids and whether he or she is certified in infant and child CPR or has taken a babysitter course.

Consider inviting a sitter over for a dry run while you're at home to familiarize him or her with your household and observe the interactions with your child.

Before you walk out the door, prepare the sitter with the following information: Go over your child's usual routine (homework, bedtime, mealtimes) and your general house rules, including any limits on TV, computer use, video games and playing outside. Let the sitter know, verbally and in

writing, of any special needs, allergies, medications or other problems your child may have.

Make sure the sitter knows where you will be and how to reach you at all times. Set any guidelines for calling 911 and provide an emergency phone list.

Include your own phone number and address on the list, so that the sitter can give that information to the 911 operator. And don’t forget the poison control center number, 1-800-2221222.

If you have them, demonstrate how to enable and disable security systems and alarms. Show the sitter your first aid kit.

Teach kids the meaning of 911 and how to call for help, so that if something happens to your babysitter, they know what to do.

Let your babysitter know your expectations before you leave. If you'd prefer that the sitter not leave the house with your child, make that clear. If the babysitter is a driver, let him or her know the rules about driving your kids. If the phone and visitors are off limits, discuss those restrictions.

Oregon tribes pursue first bison hunt in century Roswell Daily Record

GARDINER, Mont. (AP) — Knee deep in snow, Francis Marsh crouched behind a boulder and peered through the rifle scope at his target 40 yards away.

He breathed in deeply to calm his racing heart.

Picturesque mountain peaks rose behind him. The sunlight glittered off the snow, and all was quiet and still.

Ever so slowly, he exhaled, waited, then pulled the trigger.

The bison dropped to its big belly. Francis gasped for air — and with that shot became one of the first members of an Oregon Indian tribe to hunt buffalo in more than a century.

——— For years, Jim Marsh — Francis’ father — had heard stories about his great-grandmother’s buffalo-hide teepee, the last of its kind in their family.

He’d seen photos of it, but buffalo were a thing of the past.

The Cayuse Indians once traveled hundreds of miles on horseback to hunt bison, a lean meat rich in protein and high in cultural significance. Those hunts ended in the late 1800s, as federal agents restricted travel from their reservation on the Columbia River plateau and the decimated bison herds were largely confined to Yellowstone National Park.

Jim Marsh’s great-grandfather was the last family member to travel across the Rocky Mountains to hunt bison.

But in 2006, the state of Montana gave permission to the Nez Perce of Idaho and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes of northwest Montana to hunt bison on federal lands outside Yellowstone.

Hunting is illegal in the park, but during harsh winters, bison migrate to

family members and elders who no longer hunt, as well as to provide for ceremonial observances in the longhouse.

“As a native, that shows respect to the animal, to give a lot of it away. Especially with a first kill,” he said. “Kar ma comes around.”

——— After a celebratory dinner, the hunters headed out the next morning to the Forest Service compound, where the big bull that had grazed in safety now wandered in an open field across the road.

Jim Marsh immediately jumped out of his truck, pushed several feet through deep snow and took aim.

The bison took several shots to go down, and Francis hiked to the animal to deliver one final shot.

Nowland let out another yell. The others gathered to tie up ropes to tow it closer to the road and then began field dressing this second bison of the hunt. Nearby, the three boys built a “snow buffalo.”

Marsh quietly stepped away to put on his overalls and gather his knives. He thought of his wife, who died several years ago, and younger son Ryan, 18, who will hunt next year.

“I am 47 years old. For me to come up here now and exercise my treaty right is an honor,” he said.

“It’s nothing like the past.

They traveled on horseback and on foot, lived in teepees in the cold. We’ve got rigs and high-tech equipment.

But for me and my son to come up here as Cayuse, like our ancestors, it’s a great honor.”

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS HOKIES UPSET NO. 1 DUKE

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Terrell Bell scored 12 points, including five straight to give Virginia Tech the lead for good, and the Hokies beat No. 1 Duke 64-60 on Saturday night.

Kyle Singler led Duke with 22 points and Nolan Smith had 18.

Jeff Allen led the Hokies with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Bell and Erick Green each scored 12 as the Hokies improved to 4-7 in their history against teams ranked No. 1.

The Hokies trailed 51-45 until Malcolm Delaney’s driving basket with 9:28 left.

It ignited a 12-4 burst, with the last seven coming in succession to give then a 57-55 lead. Bell had the last five — a 3-pointer to tie it from the right corner and two free throws.

Bell then blocked a driving shot by Smith, and after an exchange of misses at each end, Mason Plumlee went high to block a shot by Allen and was called for goaltending, doubling the Hokies lead to 59-55 leading into a timeout with 2:39 remaining.

Singler scored for the Blue Devils, but Delaney atoned for a rough night by swishing his only 3-pointer from the top of the key, rebuilding the margin to 6257 with 2:01 to play.

A layin by Plumlee with 1:25 left and his free throw with 23.2 seconds left was all the Blue Devils could muster the rest of the way, allowing Virginia Tech to hang on.

When two teams meet six times in the same season, they tend to figure each other out and know what to expect from the other.

When that’s the case, basketball comes down to one thing.

DEXTER — A worst to first turnaround is anything but easy.

It takes commitment and hard work to turn things around and that’s exactly what the Dexter boys basketball team did.

A year after failing to win a district game, the Demons completed an undefeated district season with a 48-44 over NMMI in the championship game of the District 5-2A Tournament on Saturday.

The Broncos didn’t make things easy for the Demons, however.

The first quarter was a grind-it-out affair and at the end of it, Dexter held a 7-5 lead.

NMMI tied it up early in the second on a layup by James McCoy and took the lead with 5:54 left on an old-fashioned 3-point play

by Ethan Elks.

Dexter knotted the game with a triple by Steven Marquez and the teams traded buckets over the next few

minutes before NMMI scored four straight to take a 20-16 lead.

With 1:51 left, the game

was put on the back burner as Dexter’s Clay Garnett landed hard on his back after going up for an offen-

sive rebound.

After 10 minutes, Garnett was taken off on a stretcher and Demon coach James

Bracken said that Clay was “doing OK” and that he had aggravated an old back injury. The stretcher was used as a precaution.

After an event like that, teams can do one of two things — they can tank it after losing their teammate or they can rally together and rise to the occasion.

Dexter did the latter.

Dexter went on a 6-0 run over the next minute to take a 22-21 lead and, although the two teams entered the break tied at 22, Dexter appeared to have the edge.

Dexter’s Tyler Miles said that the Demons used a variation of, “Win one for the Gipper.”

“Clay is our big man,” he said. “He is the heart and soul of that painted area.

When he went down, it got to us, it really did. But the coaches told us we have to keep our mind in it and win it for Clay.”

Neither team could get an advantage in the third quarter.

HAGERMAN — In the reality TV show “Survivor,” winning is often about outlasting the opponent.

Saturday’s District 7-1A Championship Game between the girls basketball teams of Hagerman and Capitan was the hard-court version of Survivor.

In the end the Bobcats were able to “Outwit, Outplay, Outlast” the Tigers and claim the district crown with a 38-33 win.

Hagerman took a quick lead as Shantell Aguilar nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key to start the game.

The Tigers answered with a 3 of their own that triggered a 7-0 run that put Capitan up 7-3.

half.

Buckets by Brieanna Olivas and Gabby Barela knotted the score at seven and Hagerman regained the lead on a putback by Jessica Rodriguez.

During the 6-0 Bobcat run, Capitan had 11 possessions, all of which ended with a turnover.

Hagerman coach Casey Crandall said that the Bobcats employed a new defense that Capitan had not seen from them in their previous two meetings.

“The defense was key,” he said. “We tried to pressure them a little bit more.

We tried a half court trap that we hadn’t shown them the last two times we played them. So that was new and I think that helped us quite a bit. It helped force some of the turnovers.

“Being able to steal the ball or at least being able to tip it from them is one of the main things we work

on and it came through today.”

Capitan tied the game at nine with a first quarter buzzer-beater by Dusty Pae Eldridge.

In the first 16 possessions of the second quarter, the two teams combined for 12 turnovers.

With the score tied at 11, the Bobcats went on a mini-run that gave them a lead they wouldn’t surrender.

With 3:34 left, Rodriguez put the Bobcats up 13-11 with a bucket and Olivas made the lead four with two free throws.

Hagerman allowed just a field goal the rest of the half and a jumper by Aguilar just before the end of the half gave Hagerman a 17-13 lead at the break.

With 2:41 left in the third, Hagerman had built an eight-point lead, but a 3

by Capitan’s Maritza Nava cut the lead to 25-20 and after a Bobcat turnover, the Tigers appeared to have the momentum.

But the Bobcat defense rose to the occasion, forc-

ing a turnover, which they converted into points as Barela hit a 3 from the left wing to put Hagerman up 28-20 with 1:35 left.

The Bobcats had a ninepoint lead heading into the final quarter and a free throw by Olivas put Hagerman up 30-20 28 seconds into the final quarter.

A 3 by Rodriguez put the Bobcats up 33-22 and Capitan never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.

Crandall said that it felt good to achieve one of the team’s preseason goals.

“It feels good (to win district),” he said. “I mean winning the district championship is one of the goals every coach sets. So us actually getting to do it makes us feel pretty good.

Basketball is a long season, so to have the first of your final goals set, makes you feel really good.”

Olivas led Hagerman with 11 points, while Aguilar and Rodgriguez added eight points each. l.foster@roswell-record.com

During the third, there were seven lead changes and three ties.

The final tie of the quarter came when NMMI’s Justin Petross hit a 3 at the buzzer to tie the score at 34.

Both teams struggled offensively to start the final quarter and, with 4:35 left, Marquez hit a jumper to tie the game at 36.

Dexter would put the game away over the next 1:19.

Marquez hit two free throws on Dexter’s next possession to give the Demons the lead for good, 38-36.

Thanks to the hounding defense of freshman call-up Kevin Bonner, NMMI turned the ball over on the inbounds pass.

A few seconds later, Bonner nailed a 3 from the corner that made the Dexter faithful erupt.

Miles would close the flurry with two free throws that gave Dexter a 43-36 advantage with 3:17 left.

Other than a buzzer beating 3 by Petross, the Colts wouldn’t get closer than five the rest of the way.

A sweaty and ecstatic Bracken said that the game boiled down to who wanted it more.

“I feel like I’ve been playing,” he laughed. “It was one of those games that boiled down to who wanted it more. We were down for a long time and we fought and fought and we seemed to pull it out there in the end. I think it came down to our heart and our experience.”

Bracken said that the feeling this year was much different than years past.

“It’s an awesome feeling,”he said about winning district. “It’s like not having anything for Christmas one year and then getting everything you want the next. We worked our butts off in practice and we tell them that eventually it will pay off and it did tonight.”

NMMI coach Pilar Carrasco was proud of his team and quick to praise Dexter for its turnaround.

“With everything we overcame, I am proud of the kids,” he said. “The thing about it is, it’s nothing that our kids didn’t do. I think we would diminish what the Dexter Demons did. Tonight is about them. They did a phenomenal job. We didn’t lose tonight, they won.”

Marquez led Dexter with 17 points, while Miles chipped in with 13.

McCoy led NMMI with 16 points. l.foster@roswell-record.com

coach.

“It feels really good, especially after our loss at NMMI because we thought we were going to get that one too,” he said after leading his team to its biggest win of the season.

Goddard (17-10) knocked Roswell — the two-time defending state and district champions — off its perch atop District 4-4A and did it in impressive fashion.

After Lane Vander Hulst won the opening tip for the Rockets, Salazar spotted up from the left wing and splashed in a 3-pointer just 15 seconds into the game.

And Goddard never relinquished that lead.

Back-to-back Coyote turnovers turned into backto-back Erik Johnson baskets and just over a minute into the game, the Rockets led 7-0 as the Roswell faithful fell silent.

And that’s exactly how they would stay until the latter stages of the third quarter.

Goddard pushed its lead to 16-7 by the end of the first quarter and had it out to as many as 18 by the midway point of the second quarter on an Austin Rader jumper.

Roswell clawed its way back to within 12 with 18.6 seconds left in the opening half on an Anthony Olguin putback, but Johnson split a pair at the line on the ensuing Rocket possession to make it 39-26 at the break.

Things finally started to get interesting in the final minute and a half of the third quarter.

With Goddard leading 5441, Jonathan Ervin made a pair at the line and, after a Rocket turnover, dropped a runner in the lane to get Roswell within single digits for the first time since the end of the first.

The two teams then traded turnovers before John-

son hit a pair for the Rockets to make it 55-45 with 36.1 seconds left in the quarter.

On Roswell’s next possession, Ervin went slicing through the lane and drew a Rocket foul. Goddard’s Skylar George was upset with the call and spiked the basketball on the baseline, drawing a technical foul.

Ervin stepped to the line and nailed both shots for the shooting foul, then calmly nailed two more for the technical, pulling Roswell within six with 21.1 left.

Ervin — who finished with a game-high 23 points — missed a runner as time ran out in the third quarter, allowing Goddard to take a 55-49 lead into the fourth.

Roswell stayed within striking distance for most of the fourth, but couldn’t seem to get over the hump.

The Coyotes finally got the break they needed when

Ervin hit a pair and Goddard immediately turned it over. Ervin made the turnover count by getting a shot to fall while being fouled to make it 62-59 with 1:51 remaining.

He missed the free throw, but was able to track down the rebound after the miss.

As he drove across the top of the arc to the right side, he passed up the chance to hit a wide-open Saul Carrillo standing at the ready to fire a triple.

Ervin instead dribbled it off his own foot and the ball went careening out of bounds.

Roswell (20-6) never got another chance.

Goddard scored the final five of the game and sealed the win with a free throw from David Sweet with 10.2 seconds left.

After the game, Roswell coach Britt Cooper talked about the missed chance at the end.

“For the most part, we just did not execute,” he said. “We get it down to three points there late in the game and we’ve got them on the ropes, and we turn the ball over three or four possessions in a row.

“You can’t do that if you’re going to win championships. Maybe they’ll learn their last lesson now, because there ain’t no more lessons to be learned. You learn anymore, you’ll be done.”

Jones, when asked after the game if this was the best game his team had played all season, paused and then nodded in approval.

“I think it is. I think it’s the best game,” he said. “We came out relaxed and we didn’t come out uptight. I said, ‘There’s no pressure on us, let’s just go play.’

“And the kids took that to heart.” kjkeller@roswell-record.com

Game 1 The first game was the definition of a pitchers duel.

NMMI’s Javier Sanchez picked up his first win of the season after going eight innings, while allowing just two runs.

Luna’s Michael Ormseth was just as impressive as he held the Broncos to just three hits in seven innings of work.

NMMI took the lead in the home half of the fifth.

With one out, John David Gonzales reached base on a Luna error and stole second.

After a strikeout by Ullises Marrero, Brian Moneghan smacked a double to left field that drove in Gonzales.

Luna tied it up in the seventh and then took a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth.

Down to its last at bat, Marrero started the NMMI eighth off with a walk and Moneghan followed that up with a walk of his own.

Johnnie Garrett laid down a bunt and everyone was safe on the fielder’s choice.

With the bases loaded and nobody out, Robert Orona Jr. singled up the middle, driving in Marrero and Moneghan to win the game.

Keeping the game close at the end was what NMMI coach Bret Simmermacher preached to his team during the week.

“It is ironic that earlier this week at the end of practice we talked about it,” he said. “If we can just stay close in our own ballpark, we can win games in the last inning, even if it is a one-run or two-run game. But, we have to keep it close, though. Our pitchers did a good job of that and then we got some clutch hits and hit the ball when we needed to.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league’s top labor negotiator used this week’s annual scouting combine to update owners on the collective bargaining negotiations.

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Saturday that Goodell and Jeff Pash met Friday with the owner’s labor committee at the Colts’ team complex. Colts owner Jim Irsay, Aiello said, did not participate because he was out of town.

“There was a meeting yesterday at the Colts’ offices of the ownership’s labor committee for another update from the negotiating team,” Aiello wrote.

The NFL Players Association and league owners are trying to work out a new collective bargaining agreement before the old expires at the end of Thursday.

The two sides spent seven straight days negotiating in front of federal mediator George Cohen in Washington before talks ended Thursday. They are scheduled to resume Tuesday.

Both sides have abided by Cohen’s request to stay quiet about the negotiations, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that everyone involved is bracing for the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987.

“Everyone is building their team the same way. You’ll have the draft, you’ll have free agency, none of those things are going away,” Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said Saturday. “It all is going to be there at some point, and you’re going to build your team the way you build your team.”

Agents also expect a salary cap to be part of the eventual deal.

The latest meeting in Indy was another odd twist on one of the NFL’s biggest and busiest offseason events. Suddenly, all that talk about big-time picks like Cam Newton and Nick Fairley has been overshadowed by the

SCOREBOARD

continual meetings about the looming lockout.

On Thursday night, league officials met with head coaches and general managers.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio described the meeting as “informational.”

On Friday, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith took his turn.

He spent two hours updating agents on the negotiations, then the union put four prominent agents — Tom Condon, Ben Dogra, Drew Rosenhaus and Joel Segal — side-byside in a show of unity for Smith and the players.

Three blocks away, at Lucas Oil Stadium, the site of next year’s Super Bowl, prospective rookies were working out at the same time agents began tweeting that potential rookies would not be allowed to talk with team officials if the CBA expires. Union and league spokesmen quickly said that was untrue.

On Saturday, word leaked about Goodell’s meeting on the city’s west side. Aiello did not provide details of the most recent discussions which included the labor committee co-chairman — Pat Bowlen of the Denver Broncos and Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers — Dallas’ Jerry Jones and New England’s Robert Kraft.

The most recent CBA was signed in 2006, but owners exercised a clause in 2008 that let them opt out.

League owners want a greater percentage of the roughly $9 billion in annual revenue that is shared with the players. Among the other significant topics in negotiations are a rookie wage scale; the owners’ push to expand the regular season from 16 games to 18 while reducing the preseason by two games; and benefits for retired players.

But the threat of a lockout has sped up the pace of negotiations.

After months of infrequent and sometimes contentious talks, the sides went more than two months without any formal bargaining until Feb. 5, the day before the Super Bowl.

The sides met again once the next week, then called off a second meeting that had been scheduled for the following day.

Cohen said Thursday that the two sides had made “some progress” but “very strong differences remain.”

“We want a deal and our hope is it will get done as quickly as possible,” Smith said Friday.

And so does the city of Indianapolis, which is set to host its first Super Bowl next season.

“I hear that they expect to get it done,” Mayor Greg Ballard said during a visit to the stadium. “I’m glad that they’re talking, that they’re talking seriously. We feel that they’ll get it done.”

Game 2 Although the game wasn’t as close heading into the later innings as Game 1, the result was similar.

NMMI trailed 6-2 entering the bottom of the sixth.

The first three Bronco batters reached base and after a strikeout by Marrero, Moneghan drove in a run on a groundout to cut the lead to 6-3.

Garrett once again came up with a big hit for NMMI as he hit a single to right center that drove in two runs.

The final run of the inning came off a base knock by Luis Maldonado.

After holding Luna scoreless in the top of the seventh, NMMI won the game in walk-off fashion again as Moneghan drew a walk with the bases loaded to give NMMI the 7-6 win.

Simmermacher was pleased with the two wins regardless of how it happened.

“Bottom line is, we got two wins today,” he said. “My thing is it builds confidence. I think that’s all this team needs, to get some confidence and hopefully we can get on a roll here.”

Colorado upsets No. 5 Texas, 91-89

B4 Sunday, February 27, 2011

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Finishing is starting to become a problem for No. 5 Texas.

For the second time in three games, the Longhorns frittered away a big first-half lead and lost a Big 12 road game, this time 91-89 at Colorado on Saturday.

The Buffaloes stormed back from a 22-point firsthalf deficit and overcame a 48-33 halftime hole behind Alec Burks’ 33 points and Levi Knutson’s 21.

“The second half we did not execute and I think they played harder than us and they wanted it more, it seemed like,” Longhorns forward Jordan Hamilton said. “We didn’t run plays, we didn’t screen. We went away from what we were doing in the first half.”

For the Longhor ns, it was eerily reminiscent of a 70-67 loss at Nebraska a week earlier that prevented Texas (24-5, 12-2 Big 12) from ascending to the top of the college basketball rankings.

This latest loss dropped Texas into a tie for first place in the Big 12 with No. 3 Kansas, which beat Oklahoma 82-70.

“It’s not like we lost a ton-load of games. We’ve only lost two games,” Hamilton said. “... But I think it’s good for us.

We’ve just got to get back to the drawing board.

We’re not as good as we thought.”

In beating their third Top 25 opponent this season, the Buffaloes (18-11, 7-7) regrouped at halftime and put on a second-half show in pushing the pace and giving first-year coach Tad Boyle his biggest win yet.

“I didn’t yell and scream. I probably should have,” Boyle said of his halftime message. “I didn’t

SPORTS

know what to expect coming out at halftime. But our guys, they delivered.”

“A sense of urgency kicked in,” Buffaloes senior Cory Higgins said.

And everything started going Colorado’s way.

“It seemed like they had more freedom in the second half. Transition 3s, just driving, like playing open gym, really,” lamented Longhor ns forward Gary Johnson. “That seemed like the kind of team they turned into in the second half.”

The Horns? They suddenly looked like the kids who entertained the crowd during a timeout by donning oversized uniforms and shoes and trying to score a basket.

“I really think it’s very simple: the team that played for 40 minutes won the game,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said. “I didn’t feel like we had a real sense of urgency from the get-go.

“We didn’t play with purpose, that was the problem. We got a lead early in the game and I’ve seen them evaporate quickly, but you can certainly help the cause by not making them defend and simply not executing.

We didn’t. We simply did not execute.”

While the Buf fs were stor ming back behind Burks, who scored 24 after halftime, including 11 during a 14-0 spurt, the Longhorns were going 1 for 17 from the field during a brutal 25-possession stretch.

When it was over, the Buffs had built an 81-70 lead on Austin Dufault’s tip-in with less than 3 minutes left.

But Texas, led by 21 points each from Hamilton and J’Covan Brown, didn’t go down quietly.

left to make it 85-80. After Knutson’s two free throws, Hamilton’s 3-pointer with 30 seconds left pulled Texas to 87-83.

Higgins stepped on the baseline on the inbounds, turning the ball over with 29 seconds left, but Hamilton was long on a 3pointer and Burks corralled his 10th rebound.

He missed his eighth free throw, however, before making one for an 88-83 cushion.

Hamilton’s long 3-point-

er made it a two-point game with 18 seconds left.

Burks was fouled again with 14 seconds remaining and this time he made both for a 90-86 lead.

Hamilton misfired a 3pointer and Higgins hit one of two foul shots, and Cory Joseph hit an uncontested 3 at the buzzer as the student section at the record fourth sellout at the Coors Events Center this season stormed the court.

The Buf fs tied their

the loss, but we lost to a really good team,” Arizona’s Kyryl Natyazhko said. “We have two home games left and we have to get the job done. Every time you play against UCLA it’s a big game. We didn’t play hard enough to stop them.”

UCLA held the Wildcats to a season-low in points; Arizona came in averaging 77.6 — second-best in the Pac10. The Wildcats shot 21 percent from 3-point range, well off their league-leading 41 percent.

The Bruins gained control of a game that was close early with a 22-2 run spanning halftime. Smith scored nine points despite picking up his third foul in the spurt that ended with UCLA ahead 51-30. Nelson added seven. His rebounds helped the Bruins dominate the boards 40-26.

Leading 29-28, UCLA closed the first half on an 11-2 run while the Wildcats were limited to one field goal over the final 5:03. The Bruins picked up where they

left off in the second half, starting out with 11 consecutive points in front of 11,986, the biggest crowd of the season that grew more raucous as the lead increased.

Smith proved to be his usual load in the post, barreling through the Wildcats’ defense for layups. He got hit in the eye at the same time he was called for his third foul and sat down.

The Wildcats immediately took advantage, running off 10 straight points to close to 51-40. Fogg and Jamelle Horne hit consecutive 3pointers.

Arizona scored six straight to get within nine before Smith tipped in Lazeric Jones’ missed 3-pointer with 4:02 left. But the Bruins closed the game on another run.

UCLA wore retro jerseys with “Bruins” on the front along with a “JRW” patch in the shape of Wooden’s “Pyramid of Success” for the coaching legend who died in June at 99.

school record with their 14th win at home and ended a six-game skid against Texas, which led 43-21.

Colorado outrebounded Texas 43-39 and outshot the ’Horns 53 percent to 42 percent.

“Mentality,” Boyle said.

“We don’t have better athletes. We don’t have more size. We just battled them.

And that’s the competing I was talking about at halftime. ... Shows you what we’re capable of.

“It’s a marquee win, goes to the top of our resume.”

And to the bottom of the Longhorns’, right alongside that loss at Nebraska.

“I think it’s human nature when a team gets up and thinks it’s going to be easy,” Barnes said. “If I were coaching against us, I would tell them that if they could get a lead there is always a chance to come back because we haven’t proven yet that we can sustain it.”

UCLA defeats No. 10 Arizona in last game at Pauley Pavilion

LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA struggled all season to put two solid halves together. The Bruins waited until their last game at historic Pauley Pavilion to do it, helped by a last basket that John Wooden surely had an assist.

Reeves Nelson had a career-high 27 points and 16 rebounds, and the Bruins defeated No. 10 Arizona 71-49 on Saturday to tie the Wildcats for first place in the Pac-10 in the last men’s game played in the arena before it closes for renovation.

Fittingly, the late Wooden’s great-grandson Tyler T rapani, a walk-on who rides the Bruins’ bench, got in the game and scored their final basket.

“It was kind of meant to be,” said Tyler Honeycutt, who had 15 points.

Joshua Smith added 17 points for the Bruins (21-8), who share the league’s top spot at 12-4 with two games remaining. They have won 12 of 14 after being out of the top 25 all season.

“It’s really good we’re tied.

Our goal is to win the Pac10 outright,” Smith said.

“This was one of these games we needed to win to bump our resume with the NCAA tournament.”

Derrick Williams scored 15 points and Kyle Fogg had 10 for the Wildcats (23-6), who stumbled through a lost weekend in L.A. They arrived with a two-game lead only to be upset by Southern California on Thursday, when Williams, the league’s No. 2 scorer, was held to a season-low eight points.

Then they encountered a UCLA team hellbent on grabbing a share of the Pac10 crown for itself while leaving Pauley on a winning note in front of Wooden’s family, including his son Jim and daughter Nan.

“It’s hard when you play in an atmosphere like this, things can easily get away from you,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said. “We knew it was going to be a tough weekend. Today we just played against a great team in front of a very good crowd.”

UCLA’s 11 national championship banners will be packed away while the 46year-old arena is brought into modern times during a remodeling. The Bruins will play at a location still to be determined before Pauley reopens for the 2012-13 season. The women’s team plays their final home game next week.

Jack Haley Jr., whose father Jack starred at UCLA and played in the NBA, airballed a 3-point attempt with 25 seconds to go. Trapani grabbed the ball on the left side and made the layup.

“I’m still kind of baffled at what just happened,” he said. “I usually don’t get in.

For me, it’s about being here to get an education and go on in life. I feel like my great-grandpa put me in that spot.”

UCLA coach Ben Howland was overcome in the locker room after the game.

“I got some tears in my eyes,” he said, pausing and lowering his head. “I was thinking about Coach (Wooden). It was so fitting Tyler hit the shot. It fell right in his hands. There’s something going on there, I really believe it.”

A sweep would have given Arizona the regular-season title outright. The Wildcats still could have claimed at least a share of it by winning Saturday. Now it comes down to next weekend, when they host the Oregon schools and UCLA hits the road to face the Washington schools.

“Nobody is happy about

Kaymer is new No. 1 in World Golf Rankings Roswell Daily Record

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Martin Kaymer is the new No. 1 in golf, this time without much debate.

Kaymer calmly rolled in an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole Saturday for a 1up victory over Bubba Watson to advance to the final of the Match Play Championship. That was all he needed to move to No. 1 in the next world ranking.

The 26-year-old German becomes the secondyoungest player to be No. 1 since the ranking began in 1986. Tiger Woods was 21 when he reached No. 1 in June 1997.

It ends the 17-week reign of Lee Westwood, who had only three wins on his world ranking ledger when he became No. 1.

Kaymer has won seven times in the past two years, including his first major in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits when he beat Watson in a three-hole playoff.

And another big win might not be too far away.

With his 1-up victory, Kaymer advanced to the championship match Sunday against Luke Donald of England, who set an Accenture Match Play Championship record by needing only 73 holes in five matches to get to the last match.

Kaymer, though, already has reason to celebrate.

“It’s obviously very special for me to be the second Ger man,” he said of the world ranking. Bernhard Langer was the first player to be No. 1 when the ranking debuted at the 1986 Masters. He stayed there for only three weeks.

Even so, more hard work awaits.

No one has been more dominant at Dove Mountain than Donald, who has yet to trail in any of his five matches. Donald only had to play 27 holes in his quarterfinal win over Ryan Moore and his demolition of Matt Kuchar in the semifinals.

It marks the second straight year for an all-

European final in this World Golf Championship.

A year ago, Ian Poulter defeated Paul Casey in the championship match.

Watson, who came into Saturday having played only 43 holes in three matches, faced 37 holes in a long and wild day. Watson was 5 down with eight to play against J.B. Holmes when he staged an amazing comeback. Holmes hit into the desert at the wrong time and lost in 19 holes.

Kaymer and Watson were all square going to 15 when it tur ned in favor of the “Germanator.”

Watson tried to play a massive slice on the 334yard hole with his driver, but it sailed far to the left and into a desert bush. He had to take a penalty drop and gave away the hole.

Then with Kaymer long and right on the par -3 16th, Watson also missed the green and failed to get upand-down for par, giving Kaymer a 2-up lead with two holes to play.

Watson made a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th to stay in the match, but his shot from a fairway bunker on the 18th spun off the false front of the green.

Kaymer went long, chipped to 8 feet and made the par.

“The matches I had were very difficult,” said Kaymer, who also went 18 holes in a 1-up win over Miguel Angel Jimenez in the quarterfinals earlier Saturday.

Not so for Donald, who headed to the gym during the final hour of the Kaymer match to work up a sweat. He hasn’t gotten too much of a workout on the golf course through five matches.

A win for Donald would move him up to a career best No. 3 in the world.

“That would be an added bonus,” Donald said. “I’ll be concentrating on trying to beat whoever I’m playing against and trying to pick up a trophy.”

Donald has been nothing short of brilliant on his record-setting march to the final.

Wagner leads at Mayakoba Classic

PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — Johnson Wagner moved into contention for his second PGA Tour title, shooting a 6under 65 on Saturday for a one-stroke lead over Chris Stroud after the third round of the Mayakoba Golf Classic.

Wagner, the 2008 Houston Open winner, had a 13under 200 total on the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course on the Caribbean coast.

“It looks like there’s a lot of people on the leaderboard within a few shots, so you can’t be looking at the leaderboard thinking, ’OK, I’ve got to stay ahead of these people,”’ Wagner said.

“I have to go out and make birdies and try to play the same kind of rounds that I’ve played the last two days.”

The former Virginia Tech player dropped a stroke on the par-5 fifth, then eagled the par -5 eighth and birdied the ninth. He also birdied Nos. 11-13 and 16.

“We had a rain delay, which helped me quite a bit to calm down and slow down a bit,” Wagner said.

“And then I started playing great, chipped in for eagle on eight, hit it close on nine for birdie and just seemed like I had good birdie putt after good birdie putt on the back nine. They all didn’t go in, but a lot of them did.”

Stroud, the second-round leader after making eight straight birdies in a 63, followed up with a 70. He had an eagle, a birdie and two bogeys.

“Today was a struggle off the tee, especially the front nine, so I’m going to go to

the range and try to straighten that out a little bit,” Stroud said. “But the same thing, same swing thoughts, same goal tomorrow. Just give myself as many chances as possible. I really felt good over the putter today even though I didn’t make many.”

Bobby Gates (64), Spencer Levin (67) and Jarrod Lyle (67) were 11 under.

Defending champion Cameron Beckman (65) was 10 under along with Jeff Quinney (65), John Merrick (65), Briny Baird (66) and Sunghoon Kang (69).

Champions Tour player John Cook (66) and Charles Howell III (67) topped a group at 9 under.

The rain softened the greens a bit but didn’t change the speed.

“You couldn’t really tell any difference in the speed,” Gates said. “They were perfect. They were the same all day and they’ve been the same all week. I think tomorrow I’m expecting them to be about the same. They’re just perfect. I think some people have asked if they’re real just because they’re so good.

They’re awesome.”

Wagner is making his first appearance in the tournament.

“All my friends that have come down here told me how incredible the golf course is, and when I got down here I was not disappointed,” he said. “It is phenomenal. This golf course fits nicely with my game.

You’ve got to really play well. It’s in immaculate condition and I’m just really loving the town of Playa del Carmen.”

Martin Kaymer lines up a putt on No. 12 while playing Miguel Angel Jimenez during a quarterfinal round of the Match Play Championship, Saturday. Kaymer beat Jimenez 1 up and then beat Bubba Watson 1 up in the semifinals to move into the finals and move into the top spot in the World Golf Rankings.

When he holed a short birdie putt on the par -5 13th to close out Kuchar, it was his 13th birdie in 27 holes he played in quarterfinal and semifinal matches. Donald has played only 73 holes in five matches, the fewest of anyone to reach the championship match in the 13-year history of this tournament. The previous record was 77 holes by Woods in 2003.

Donald became only the second finalist to have never seen the 18th hole in

competition. Geoff Ogilvy in 2007 was the other. With the format change from 36 holes to 18 holes for Sunday, he could go the entire tournament without playing No. 18.

“Hopefully, I don’t get to it again tomorrow — the right way,” Donald said.

He has been so dominant that Donald has not trailed on a single hole all week — on only five of 73 holes has his match been all square.

“I’ve been stringing together a lot of good

“Had I got somebody else on today’s round, I may have still been able to come out with a win,” Kuchar said. “You face Luke Donald on a day he’s really hot, you pack your bags early.”

Donald has been hot all week.

Now comes Kaymer, whom he described as a steady, consistent player, as the last two years have shown.

Donald won three straight holes around the tur n to build a big lead against Ryan Moore in the quarterfinals, winning 5 and 4. He looked even better against Kuchar, seizing the lead with a tee shot into 4 feet on the par -3 third hole, starting a stretch in which he won seven of the next eight holes.

C. ‘Jackie’ Hess

A memorial service followed by a reception will be held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2801 W. Fourth St., at 11 a.m., on Monday, March 7, 2011, for Carmen Jackie Hess, 83, who passed away Saturday, Feb. 19, 2011, at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center.

Jackie was born July 6, 1927, in Carlsbad, to Joe Edison and Carmen Jacobs Craft. Her parents preceded her in death. She married Larry Hess on June 29, 1965, in Roswell. He preceded her in death on Dec. 9, 1984.

She is survived by her two children, son Blaine Hess and wife Abby, of Roswell; daughter Thane Baczek and husband Frank, of Salt Lake City; and six grandchildren, Camille, Larry and Gavin Hess and Scott, David and Christine Baczek.

Jackie’s childhood years were spent in several towns located in West Texas and New Mexico because her Dad worked for the thenHumble Oil & Refining Co., and his job required him to be located in various communities. She moved to Roswell in the 1950s, where she worked at the then- Security National Bank. The happiest time of her life was when she met and eventually married Larry Hess on June 29, 1965. They lived life to the fullest, enjoyed public service and community work and meeting people and friends as they campaigned together in local and statewide campaigns. Upon the death of her husband, Jackie was elected and succeeded him as county assessor from 1985 to 1988.

Her life was dedicated to volunteerism and she truly enjoyed her group of friends through her memberships in the Assistance League, Chaves County Republican Women, Daughters of the Nile, Masonic Widows Club and Westminster Presbyterian Church. Jackie was president of Assistance League of Chaves County from 1998 to 1999, and president of Roswell Chapter of

NATION/OBITUARIES the Daughters of the Nile from 2000 to 2001.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Ali, Dr. Bolanos and the caring nurses in the critical care unit and medical floor of ENMMC during her final weeks.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Assistance League, Chaves County Republican Party or the favorite charity of your choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory. An online registry can be accessed at ballardfuneralhome.com.

Clara Prudencio

Ruth Henson, 81, passed away Feb. 15, 2011, at her family home.

Ruth was born Sept. 4, 1929, to Sofie and Hermann Steil, of Mannheim, Ger many. Her husband and parents preceded her in death.

She married C.H. Henson on Sept. 18, 1954, in Mannheim, while he was completing a two-year tour of duty in the U.S. Army.

The couple lived in Roswell from August 1958 to the present. Ruth worked for Safeway, owned and operated Henson’s Bakery from 1972 to 1981, owned and operated Valley Auto Mart from 1982 to 1990 and retired in 1990.

Ruth was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

She is survived by her daughters, Diana Hardgrave, of Loveland, Colo., and Brigette Morris, of Broomfield, Colo.; her son Larry Henson, of Denver; her granddaughter Jennifer Benjamin, of Springfield, Neb.; and her grandsons, Gregory Morris, of Broomfield, and Jason Hardgrave, of Loveland; her greatgrandchildren, Natasha, Benjamin, and Emily; and her sister in Canada.

Ruth will be cremated and later her ashes and those of her husband will be dispersed during a family memorial service, overlooking a scenic view in Colorado. In lieu of flowers,

Erple Pemberton went home to be with our loving father and her dearest husband, on Feb. 24, 2011.

She will be laid to rest privately in South Park Cemetery.

This world was wonderfully blessed the day she was born, Sept. 8, 1933, in Porum, Okla., to Jess Redding and Bessie Mof fitt.

Erple was a loving housewife, a wonderful mother, and a generous and caring grandmother. She was devoted to taking care of her family and was always there when we needed her.

“Wisconsin is opening up people’s eyes a little bit, so I think that the move is to try to get people more involved in their unions and create a stronger front so that if something happens here, we are prepared,” said Jay Van Loenen, 40, a union member and English teacher at Thornton High School.

Organizers estimated the crowd at around 3,000, though state troopers at the Capitol estimated the crowd at about 1,000.

Some 25 counter -protesters rallied on the Capitol’s west steps, and troopers stepped in to stop a few passionate arguments that erupted between attendees.

Still, the event overall bore a more buoyant feel than a smaller but much more tense rally on Tuesday that attracted heated debate from both sides.

On Saturday, American flags waved as a red-andwhite striped stilt-walker towered over an enthusiastic pro-union crowd that chanted “People Power” and held signs that read, “We are the middle class.”

Independent community organizer Zoe Williams, 25, said the event supports workers in Wisconsin and sends a message to lawmakers in the state.

“As long as their fight keeps going, we’ll keep fighting with them,” said Williams. “And we also want to remind Denver, if that same kind of legislation comes to us, that we will also be standing up and that we’ll be at our Capitol, and we’ll be camped out here and we can’t forget that.”

DENVER (AP) — More than 1,000 teachers, state employees and firefighters rallied outside the Colorado Capitol on Saturday in support of Wisconsin public workers facing the elimination of their bargaining rights.

The rally was one of more than 50 that took place across the country in opposition to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s recent legislation to strip public workers of bargaining rights as part of an effort to balance a state budget that faces a $137 million shortfall. The Republican also wants to

‘Black Swan’ wins top honor at indie Spirit Awards Roswell Daily Record

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — The ballet thriller “Black Swan” won four prizes Saturday at the Spirit Awards honoring independent film, including best picture, best actress for Natalie Portman and director for Darren Aronofsky.

James Franco was picked as best actor for the survival story “127 hours,” while the Ozarks crime story “Winter’s Bone” earned both supporting-acting prizes, for John Hawkes and Dale Dickey.

All three films are up for best picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, where Portman is considered the favorite to win the bestactress Oscar and Franco is a cohost alongside actress Anne Hathaway.

With plenty of overlap among nominees at the Oscars, the Spirit Awards are a warm-up for Hollywood’s biggest party.

The British monarchy saga “The King’s Speech,” the best-picture front-runner at the Oscars, won the prize for best foreign film.

“Black Swan” also took the cinematography award for Matthew Libatique.

Portman and Aronofsky joked about the difficulty in getting “Black Swan” off the ground, with cash tight and few people believing the film could ever make its money back.

“My ballet teachers were, like, every day, ‘So when do we get paid?’“ said Portman, who won for her role as a ballerina losing her grip on reality.

Aronofsky thanked his financial backers for believing in the film.

“Now, they’re (expletive) rich,” Aronofsky said of the money men behind “Black Swan,” a $100 million hit.

Aronofsky said he has been blessed with fearless actors in all of his films and had gushing praise for Portman.

“To have this incredible performer give you everything she’s got and then train for a year. I’ll always be in debt to Miss Natalie Portman,” Aronofsky said.

Franco, in film school at New York University when the “127 hours” script came his way, said he was inclined to pass except for the insistence of his manager, agent and publicist, who told him it was a film he had to do.

“I just finished my thesis film, so independent film is something

that’s a very, very big part of my life and very important to me, so this means a lot,” said Franco, who stars as real-life adventurer Aron Ralston, who cut off his arm after he became trapped by a boulder in a canyon.

“The King’s Speech” director, Tom Hooper, said he has not been following Oscar predictions but confided backstage that he was jittery about the awards show coming a day later.

“I think anyone would be not in their right mind at the prospect of making a speech in front of half a billion people,” Hooper said.

“Winter’s Bone” co-star Hawkes thanked the film’s crew, advising the crowd to “look them up and hire them for your films.” He also thanked director Debra Granik, whom he called the “best of the

best,” and the break-out star of “Winter’s Bone,” Jennifer Lawrence, who lost best actress to Portman but also is nominated at the Oscars.

“I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, Jen,” said Hawkes, who plays Lawrence’s menacing but ferociously protective uncle.

In “Winter’s Bone,” Dickey costars as a member of a close-knit crime clan in the Ozarks. She thanked the people of Missouri, where the film was shot, for opening “their hearts and land,” and said she hoped the role might land her fresh work.

“I’m getting some more auditions than I had before,” said Dickey, best-known for her comic role as the daytime hooker on TV’s “My Name Is Earl.” “The residual

trickle-down is hopefully, I’ll get more work. If I get more work, I’m a happy chick.”

The graffiti-art examination “Exit Through the Gift Shop” won the documentary prize, for which it also was in the running at the Oscars. Elusive British street artist Banksy, the film’s director who keeps his identity secret, was not in sight.

Thierry Guetta, a Frenchman who appears in the film and is part of the street-art movement, accepted the award and was asked the inevitable question backstage: Where’s Banksy?

“I don’t know. Maybe somewhere here,” Guetta said, and speculated about whether Banksy might turn up at the Oscars.

“Tomorrow is another day. Maybe he’s somewhere around. Maybe

he’s sitting next to you, not too far away.”

The lesbian-family tale “The Kids Are All Right” took the screenplay award for Stuart Blumberg and Lisa Cholodenko, who are nominated for best original screenplay at the Oscars.

The backwoods funeral tale “Get Low,” starring Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek, won for best film from a first-time director, Aaron Schneider.

Other Spirit Award winners included: • First screenplay: Lena Dunham, “Tiny Furniture.”

• John Cassavetes Award for best film made for under $500,000: “Daddy Longlegs.”

• Robert Altman Award for director, casting director and ensemble cast: “Please Give.”

‘Last Airbender’ rules Razzies as worst picture

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The action fantasy “The Last Airbender” — about people who can command fire, air, water and earth — now controls something else: the Razzie awards for Hollywood’s worst film achievements of 2010.

“The Last Airbender” led Saturday’s Razzies with five awards, among them worst picture, worst director and worst screenplay for M. Night Shyamalan.

The movie also received Razzies for worst supporting actor (Jackson Rathbone, who was cited for both “The Last Airbender” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) and for a special award, worst eye-gouging misuse of 3-D. A spoof of the Academy Awards, the Razzies were announced the night before the Oscars, Hollywood’s biggest party.

“Sex and the City 2” took three Razzies, including worst actress, a prize shared by co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, worst screen couple or ensemble for its entire cast, and worst prequel, remake, ripoff or sequel.

Ashton Kutcher was

picked as worst actor for “Killers” and “Valentine’s Day,” while Jessica Alba took the Razzie as worst supporting actress for four 2010 releases, “The Killer Inside Me,” “Little Fockers,” “Machete” and “Valentine’s Day.” Shyamalan has been on a downward spiral since 1999 Oscar best-picture contender “The Sixth Sense,” which earned him directing and writing nominations at Hollywood’s highest honors. He won Razzies as worst director and worst supporting actor for his 2006 fantasy flop “Lady in the Water.”

Despite terrible reviews, “The Last Airbender” managed to find a decent audience, pulling in $300 million worldwide at the box office. Shyamalan adapted the movie from the animated TV series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”

“He managed to take a cartoon property and make it even less lifelike by making it with real actors,” said Razzies founder John Wilson. “Most people who like the show, and this would include my 14-year -old son, hated the movie. It made no sense whatsoever.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker said Friday that she’s leaving CNN’s primetime “Parker/Spitzer” talk show, which will be renamed and continue with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and others.

CNN said the decision to cut ties with Parker was mutual.

The show debuted last fall to some tough reviews and poor ratings in a time slot dominated by Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly. But the ending of MSNBC’s “Countdown” with Keith Olbermann last month has given CNN an opportunity.

The network has averaged 638,000 viewers in the time slot during a newsy period this month, up 24 percent from last February’s show with Campbell Brown, the Nielsen Co. said.

The new show will be dubbed “In the Arena,” with

two conservatives — former Fox News Channel personality E.D. Hill and National Review columnist Will Cain — joining Spitzer as panelists. CNN said others will be on the show, but they haven’t been named yet.

“We have been pleased with how the 8 p.m. hour has become a centerpiece of substantive, policy-oriented conversation, and we are looking forward to building on that with this new format,” said Ken Jautz, the executive in charge of CNN’s U.S. network, in a memo to his staff Friday.

Parker said that she wanted to concentrate on her writing and that “with the show moving in a new direction, it was time to move on.” She’ll provide occasional commentary elsewhere on the network, Jautz said.

Spitzer said it had been “a joy” working with Parker.

ABC to air interview with Charlie Sheen

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC says it will broadcast an interview with Charlie Sheen that was recorded after the incendiary rant that led CBS and Warner Bros. Television to halt production of “Two and a Half Men” for the season.

The interview with Sheen will be broadcast during a special one-hour edition of “20/20” at 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Excerpts from the interview will also be aired on “Good Morning America” on Monday and Tuesday.

Production on Sheen’s hit sitcom was halted after the actor called the show’s executive producer a “contaminated little maggot” on a radio program Thursday and in a letter posted on the TMZ website.

The show’s producers have not said whether they will cancel the program.

In this publicity image released by Paramount Pictures, Dev Patel plays Prince Zuko in a scene from "The Last Airbender."

“The Last Airbender” was among movies that critics knocked for smudgy, blurry 3-D images. The movie was shot in 2-D and converted

to digital 3-D to cash in on the extra few dollars theaters charge for 3-D screenings.

“They call it converted.

We call it perverted,” Wilson said. “The more times you trick the public and charge them that fee and don’t really deliver, eventually it’s

going to be like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football. Fool me ten times, I’m done.”

Wilson said the characters of “Sex and the City 2” were getting too old to cavort the way they do, calling the movie “‘The Expendables,’ but with estrogen,” referring to Sylvester Stallone’s tale about aging action heroes.

“Sex and the City 2” also was offensive, Wilson said, showing Parker and her gal pal co-stars disrespecting Arab culture on a trip to Abu Dhabi and flaunting their privileged ways.

“It was released in the middle of a period of American history when everyone’s scrounging not to lose their homes, and these women are riding around in Rolls-Royces, buying expensive shoes and just throwing money around like they’re drunk,” Wilson said.

The 12th annual Women’s History Month Celebration Brunch is Saturday, March 5, at the RMAC ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR

From Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Zealand and India, the four women who will be honored at the 2011 Women’s History Month Celebration Brunch prove that a woman’s history is her strength.

The women — Shelly Currier, Donna Paul, Margaret Rodriguez and Anjali Suri — will be honored from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Saturday, March 5, at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, 100 W. 11th St. Founded by WESST Corp., the 12th annual event is “a celebration of our collective past, present and future,” according to Cindy Wilson, chair of the Women’s History Month committee.

T ickets are $13 and best purchased in advance. Tickets are available at WESST Corp, Altrusa International, the Washington Chapel Christian Worship Center and from Donna Byrd. Sharon Bell will emcee the event. The keynote speaker will be City Councilor Judy Stubbs.

Through the celebration’s theme, “Our History is Our Strength,” Wilson said she has found the common thread among this year’s honorees as well as of those of previous years — a history of service to the community.

“They feel the need to serve,” Wilson said.

“It’s like a callng. They see the need. They don’t wait for something horrible to happen — they go out there and do it. They just do it because it’s part of who they are.

“They’re remarkable in that they’re leaders,” Wilson said of the honorees. “They lead by example. ... People complain about their lot in life, but these women say, ‘Isn’t this wonderful?’

“Our strength is in who we are and where we’re going,” Wilson said.

For Currier, strength is about helping others.

A Phildelphia native, Currier is the daughter of immigrants from Romania and Canada. Shortly after marrying her husband, Charles, in 1971, the couple moved to Albuquerque, where Charles attended law school at the University of New Mexico. Shelly became a nurse and practiced in various capacities for 22 years, including being part of an emergency medical relief team in Ethiopia during the 1985 famine.

In 2001, she became deeply committed to prison ministries and began working with prison programs. She eventually applied for and received grants to establish Wings for L.I.F.E., a life-skills and behavior modification program.

Currier said she was surprised to learn she would be honored.

“I was driving home from New Hampshire

with my daughter, Jenny, and I got a phone call,” Currier recalled. “I don’t even know what state we were in. I was shocked.”

Paul was surprised, too. As a Mary Kay independent sales director, Paul is also a member of the Roswell Redcoats, serves as president of the Roswell Orchestra Guild, participates in Roswell Community Little Theatre productions, is a ham radio operator and serves on the Women’s History Month celebration commitee, among other things.

Paul said, being nominated does allow each of the women to share their unique perspectives, common experiences, and to share their interests.

“One of the things this opportunity gives you is a chance to talk about your (interests),” Paul said.

Suri, a native of New Dehli, India, has many interests. A financial consultant, Suri is also a member of Altrusa and chairs the group’s literacy committee. She is a board member of the Roswell Museum and Art Center and of the advisory council for Eastern New Mexico Medical Center’s Healthy Woman organization, and also serves on the Women’s History Month committee.

“It certainly is an honor to have been recognized like this,” Suri said, adding she is proud that she and her family can call Roswell home.

Rodriguez, who grew up in New Zealand, is also proud to call Roswell home — she recently completed all of the steps to become a U.S. citizen.

Rodriguez, a retired teacher, has been involved in numerous ministries at St. Peter Church and was a Girl Scout leader for many years. She was a founder of Roswell Right to Life, now Citizens for Life. She was a founder of LifeLine, a 24-hour pregnancy crisis service and still volunteers with Good Samaritan and Wings for L.I.F.E. ministries, participates in Toastmasters and is a member of the ENMMC Auxiliary.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be recognized,” Rodriguez said.

Dad’s lack of engagement with son worries mom

Q: My husband seems to be more interested in fixing the house and sitting down with a glass of wine each evening than interacting with our 8-year-old son. He’s a good provider and a spiritual leader, but he doesn’t initiate playing catch or family activities of any kind. I’m feeling resentful about this, because I grew up in a family that did all kinds of fun things together on the weekends.

So what should we do?

JIM: Fatherhood is a very personal issue for me. My parents divorced when I was young, so I had very little contact with my biological dad. And my stepfather left when I was in fourth grade. The absence of a consistent father figure was devastating to me, as it is for so many kids.

I realize your own situation is different. It’s encouraging that your husband is a good provider and spiritual leader.

Perhaps he just needs some motivation to help him engage with your son. I’d recommend two books that might be helpful. The first is “The Seven Secrets of Effective Fathers,” by my friend, Dr. Kenneth Canfield. It addresses practical matters such as protecting and providing for children (your husband seems to have a good handle on this), and also spending time with kids and getting to know them emotionally (an area that may be lacking in your household).

The second book is Tim Sanford’s “Losing Control and Liking It.” Sanford suggests that a father's most important role is not to control his children, but to validate them by

spending time with them and affirming them.

If your husband wants more insights after reading these books, have him contact Focus on the Family for a wide range of great resources for dads. ** ** ** Q: When my boys, ages 5 and 7 say, “That's not fair,” I respond with, “It may not be equal, but it’s fair.” We’ve talked before about how they won’t always get the same thing at the same time, but they will be treated fairly. I have no idea why it’s worked, but the approach has been very successful for our family — in fact, they now say it to each other. What do you think?

JULI: As one of six kids, you can imagine how many times I said or heard those words, “It’s not fair!” Whether it's a larger slice of pizza, more presents under the tree, or a later bedtime, kids will sniff out any sign of inequity. My parents usually responded with a similar line: “We won’t always treat you exactly the same, but we love each of you

Walking the dog might help teens get exercise

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Is your teen a couch potato?

A new study suggests the family dog might be able to help.

Researchers had 618 kids ranging from 12 to 16 wear accelerometers for a week to measure their physical activity. Half the families had dogs and half did not.

The study showed the kids in families with dogs got 32.1 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per day, while those without dogs got 29.5 minutes. The difference isn’t much, but lead author John R. Sirard said it’s big enough to suggest more study be done.

Parents of the teens also wore the lightweight devices, but the difference in activity levels between adults in the two groups was nonexistent, Sirard said, suggesting the kids

might have been the ones taking the dogs out. The families were not asked who cared for the dogs.

The study, done at the University of Minnesota, was one of the first to examine the relationship between adolescents and dogs. Sirard, a professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, said the research didn’t take into account the size or breed of the dog, the safety of the neighborhoods where the families lived or the level of attachment the kids had to the pets.

It’s also possible that more active families were the ones that decided to get dogs in the first place, he said.

The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. Results appear in

the March issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

“I do think dogs could make a difference,” said Dr. Antronette Yancey, a health services professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “As a dog owner myself, I can say that dogs are extremely consistent prompts to get you out and walking.”

Yancey, who wrote the book “Instant Recess: How to Build a Fit Nation for the 21st Century,” agreed more research was needed.

“Sometimes these little clues that you get from a small study can actually burgeon into something that’s very meaningful,” she said.

We already know a few things about the impact of pets on health, Yancey said. “We know pets are good for older people and

good for lowering blood pressure and a variety of other reasons, so if they are also good for physical activity, great.”

The dogs were not studied, Sirard said, so there is no way to know if less active dogs put on weight or experienced any other side effects. He hopes to follow up with a larger sample and more questions, and he might put accelerometers on the dogs as well as the humans next time.

First, he’ll practice with his 3-year -old, 25-pound mixed terrier Della. The two go walking and running every morning, then his 8year -old daughter takes care of him the rest of the time.

equally.”

Although a key element of effective child rearing is consistency, parents must be flexible in applying the same principles to different kids at different times and in different situations. For example, while dishonesty should always be addressed as a serious offense, good parents must be sensitive to personality, motivation and age when deciding how to correct it.

Punishing two children exactly the same for a similar offense would be equal, but not fair. One child may be much more sensitive to parental disapproval and be devastated by a mild scolding while her strong-willed sibling needs a dramatic consequence to get the point across.

Similarly, the exact same curfew for all teenagers would not be fair because some are capable of handling more freedom than others.

It takes a confident parent to stand up against the “It’s not fair!” defense. Good for you for not only holding the line, but teaching your kids that your love for them can trump even their perception of not being treated fairly. ** ** ** 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.

The savory side of fresh blueberries

JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sometimes the wintertime blues can be just what the doctor ordered, especially if they’re the kind that grow on bushes.

Besides being a delicious addition to your diet, blueberries have been linked to numerous health benefits. And the good news is that it doesn’t seem to matter whether you consume fresh, frozen or even dried blueberries.

Of course, it’s easiest to eat blueberries out of hand or sprinkled over yogurt or cereal, but they also make an excellent addition to cooked dishes, and not just the usual desserts and bake goods. Blueberries can have a savory side, too.

Consider adding blueberries to your stuffing next time you roast a chicken or turkey. They even make a surprising addition to a meatloaf or burger, especially when blended with savory ingredients such as onions and Dijon mustard.

For this recipe, blueberries are cooked down with chopped onion, minced fresh ginger and white balsamic vinegar to make a sweet and tangy ketchup to accompany lean pork tenderloin. But the ketchup would go just as well on top of a burger.

——— Pork medallions with blueberry-balsamic ketchup This recipe makes more blueberry-balsamic ketchup than you will need. Don’t worry, it’s delicious on just about any red meat, including in place of classic ketchup on burgers.

Start to finish: 50 minutes (30 minutes active) Servings: 4 For the ketchup: 2 1/2 cups blueberries 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1/4 teaspoon salt For the pork: 1/4 cup Wondra flour 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil To make the blueberry-balsamic ketchup, in a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the blueberries, brown sugar, onion, vinegar, ginger and salt. Heat, stirringconstantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Adjust the heat so the blueberry mixture is vigorously simmering and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have popped and the ketchup has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes (the ketchup will thicken more as it cools). Remove from heat and set aside.

To make the pork, in a shallow wide, shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together flour, thyme, pepper and salt. Slice the pork tenderloin on the diagonal into 1inch thick medallions.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the oil.

Working in batches, dredge the pork medallions through the flour mixture then place them in the hot skillet. Cook the pork until golden-brown and no longer pink at the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Serve the pork medallions immediately, topped with the blueberry-balsamic ketchup.

Chefs make a meal out of Oscar nominations Roswell Daily Record

Chefs tackle meaty roles every day, and no one thinks to nominate them for an Oscar. But what if there were a golden statuette for Outstanding Hors D’oeuvre or Best Supporting Side Dish?

We asked chefs and other food world notables to come up with menus inspired by this year’s Best Picture hopefuls. And the nominee entrees are: BLACK SWAN: From Traci Des Jardins, chef of Jardiniere in San Francisco.

Inspired by the movie about a prima ballerina dancing on the edge of madness as she tackles the demanding role of Odette/Odile, this meal is a study in black and white.

Food Network Iron Chef Michael Symon based his meal around those two things.

Symon, who is chef/owner of Roast in Detroit and Lola, Lolita and B Spot in Cleveland — and was a high school wrestler to boot — planned the meal to go from humble beginnings to big finish.

— Fried clams with celery leaves, radishes and lemon aioli — Lobster chowder with smoked corn and coriander — “Irish stew” with celery root, parsnips, potatoes and truffle — Double chocolate cake with smoked sea salt INCEPTION: New York pastry chef Martin Howard was inspired by Inception when he created the “Treat within a Treat” cupcake. Where the film excites fans with a dream within a dream scenario, Martin created a devil’s food cupcake that is filled with butter cream. The filling is concealed by a topping of chocolate ganache. “I added my own twist on the traditional butter cream with a hint of Lucid absinthe to add an extra layer of flavor, and, of course,

as a nod to the film’s lucid dreams,” he says.

127 HOURS: The visceral but gripping story of a trapped mountain climber’s struggle to survive inspired Kelly Liken, chef/owner of Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail, Colo., to think about what she would choose to eat for her last meal. The answer: Florida stone crab and creamy mustard sauce.

“No appetizers or desserts. Just piles of those beautiful claws and that creamy mustard mayo to dip them in,” says Liken, who made it to the final four of Bravo TV’s “Top Chef DC” season. Liken and her husband and business partner Rick Colomitz saw the preview of the movie at the Denver Film Festival, where real-life protagonist Aron Ralston spoke. Her menu is inspired by the fact that “stone crab is my favorite food — period.” And after being trapped in the Utah desert, as Ralston was, “I would be dreaming of the beach! Surrounded by blue water, cool breezes and ice-cold drinks.”

Prada seeks innocence in aviator school girl look

MILAN (AP) — Don’t expect to be swathed in silk next fall and winter. Designers are reaching for fabrics of a sturdier nature.

Fendi showed an eccentric side, combining wild fur, down-to-business tweed and ephemeral sheer fabrics, sometimes in a single piece.

And materials were the starting point of Prada’s collection, from python in boots, caps and coats to fake fur caps and collars and sturdy gabardine outerwear.

Soft women, this won’t be your year, at least judging by collections previewed Thursday during Milan fashion week.

Katie Holmes, the actress and wife of Tom Cruise, was on hand for Max Mara’s preview. She wore an off-theshoulder dress, hair pulled back simply for the collection in straightforward palate of gray, cream, beige and camel.

The Max Mara women won’t need to worry about the cold. Whether dressed for the evening in a strapless dress, or for work hours in a belted gray leather jacket over paints, the answer is a high fur cowel as a hedge against a chill.

Healdsburg wine country getaway

A man looks out on the town square as he enjoys a glass of sparkling wine at the Boisset Taste of Terroir wine tasting room in Healdsburg, Calif., Feb. 18.

HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — The chic wine country town of Healdsburg has a little secret. Fine wine is just the beginning of the attractions on tap here.

Poke around antique shops, eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, float down a lazy river — those are just some of your options.

Not that long ago, Healdsburg was a sleepy spot known as “the buckle on the prune belt.”

The prunes are long gone, replaced by vineyards. And these days, if you’re doing any sleeping here it may very well be on the Coyuchi organic sheets of the h2hotel, one of several new or newly refurbished boutique hotels that have sprung up in recent years.

“It’s really come a long way,” says

iconic rock artist Stanley Mouse, whose work is featured in the Rockin Roses gallery just off the tree-lined plaza that is the heart of Healdsburg. “It used to be a really quiet town. Now it’s the place to go.”

About 70 miles north of San Francisco, Healdsburg is conveniently located just off U.S. Highway 101.

The Central Healdsburg exit will take you to Healdsburg Avenue, which runs along the plaza.

Where to start your day? Breakfast options include the Downtown Bakery & Creamery, where sticky buns are a specialty and a cafe menu is served on weekends.

Spend the morning shopping the boutiques and antique stores that line the plaza or browse the thou-

What could be more innocent than an aviator’s cap?

Pair it with a narrow silhouette dress featuring a pleated skirt, and you start to get an image of sweetly innocent childhood dreams.

Then throw in some python boots, and the dream morphs into Miuccia Prada’s fashion vision.

The clothes are about “innocence or freshness,” Prada said back stage. “Not a girl dressing like a lady, but a lady getting more innocent.”

There were dark double-breasted coats with big buttons, silver or black, belted at the waist. The collar, in nude, or baby pink, matches the aviators’ cap, and goggles complete the picture. Drop-waist dresses feature pleated skirts,or geometric designs.

sands of titles at Copper field’s Books on the south side of the plaza.

Looking to explore the art of rock ’n’ roll? The Rockin Roses gallery just around the corner from Copperfield’s is stocked with works by Mouse, including paintings that became classic Grateful Dead covers, as well as art by some of his friends, like painted drum heads by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and some vivid “Alice In Wonderland”-themed paintings by Grace Slick.

Lunch is what you make of it; nearby restaurants range from fancy to family friendly. Or, you could opt for a simple sandwich eaten on one of the plaza benches.

Chicago election shows racial politics changing CHICAGO (AP) — The plan was simple: The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Chicago’s other black leaders would choose one black candidate to run for mayor, invoke the name of the city’s respected first black mayor and watch its largest racial group flock to the polls to vote for the anointed candidate.

But as Tuesday’s election showed, things aren’t so simple in Chicago anymore. While much of the city remains as geographically segregated as it was in 1983, when black and Hispanic voters helped Harold Washington to a historic victory in the mayoral race, voters this week rejected the so-called “consensus” black candidate and two Hispanic candidates in favor of a white man — former White House chief of staf f Rahm Emanuel.

The lessons from the election are still emerging, but voters, aldermen and residents say one thing is clear: Race might still play a role in Chicago politics, but people don’t vote along racial and ethnic lines like they once did.

“It’s pretty naive and frankly a little insulting that they think our intelligence is so low that they say the name ‘Harold Washington’ and people will vote for you,” said Patricia Mosley, a 53-year-old black resident who voted for Emanuel, who is Jewish.

The for mer congressman collected two and often three times more votes than the consensus candidate, for mer U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, did in every predominantly black ward. He also had strong support in preAP Photo dominantly His- Chicago Mayor-elect panic wards, Rahm Emanual occasionally outpolling Chicago schools president Gery Chico, who’s part Mexican, and City Clerk Miguel del Valle, who’s Puerto Rican.

In all, Emanuel won 40 of 50 wards in Chicago, where blacks, whites and Hispanics each make up roughly a third of the population. He received 55 percent of the vote. Chico was second with 24 percent.

“I don’t think we’re post racial yet, but we’re definitely past racial and ethnicbased voting,” said Laura Washington, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist and TV political analyst.

Among the reasons? Demographic changes — the city has fewer blacks and whites and more Latinos — the massive Latino and immigrant political that started in 2006, and the election of Barack Obama as the nation’s first black president.

Black and Hispanic coalitions began meeting last fall soon after Mayor Richard Daley announced he wouldn’t seek a seventh term in the city he’s ruled for more than 20 years.

Hispanic leaders ultimately decided not to endorse one candidate to avoid turning off voters who didn’t want to be told what to do. They also wanted to avoid aggravating historic tensions between Mexicans against Puerto Ricans, said Alberto Bocanegra, a coalition member.

But the city’s top black leaders, seeking someone who had broad appeal across ethnic and racial lines, threw their support behind 69-year-old U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis, the son of sharecroppers who grew up in the segregated South. They expected other black candidates would drop out. Instead, Braun refused to quit, and Davis eventually threw his support behind her.

“I was not going to spend three months helping further divide a community that was already seriously divided,” Davis said.

But Braun didn’t help her cause or that of the black coalition. Many believe she ran a terrible campaign that alienated big chunks of voters, including blacks. When other candidates released their tax returns, she refused. When she relented, the documents showed her tea and coffee company was struggling, raising questions about her ability to run a city already in deep financial trouble, said Alan Gitelson, a Loyola University political scientist.

During a candidate forum in a church, Braun said one of her opponents, Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins — also a black woman — was “strung out on crack.” That comment and others offended many in the black community, and Braun’s poll numbers dropped.

Braun hasn’t talked to reporters after conceding the race on Election Night and didn’t respond to requests for comment.

But regardless of what she did, many black voters simply didn’t buy the unity effort.

“I’m a mixed black woman, I date a Jewish guy, the colors don’t matter to us,” said Tahani Tompkins, 27, a charter school teacher who supported Emanuel.

“We didn’t look at his skin color. He’s looped up with someone we respect like Obama. We’re not concerned with him being white.”

Ex-bank hostage says police pounced on him when freed

CARY, N.C. (AP) — A black man held hostage during a bank robbery says he was thrown to the ground and kneed, cursed and handcuf fed by police after being released from captivity. Authorities say a county prosecutor and the state are reviewing the complaint.

An attorney for Lee Everett sent a letter to authorities in the town of Cary, a Raleigh suburb, stating his client is a 52year-old reverend who was treated roughly by police, unlike white hostages held in the Feb. 10 standoff at a bank Wachovia branch there.

According to the letter, Everett put his hands up as he left the bank earlier in the hourslong drama and declared, “I’m a hostage.”

The complaint said several of ficers jumped Everett immediately, throwing him to the ground and shouting obscenities at him. Three different officers put knees in his back, buttocks and neck, according to the letter.

The letter said one sergeant subsequently tried to apologize.

More than three hours after the hostage-taking began that day, 19-year -old Devon Mitchell emerged, appearing to hold a gun to the head of one of the hostages. Officers shot and killed Mitchell, who police later said was found to be unarmed.

“Rev. Everett was treated differently and with unnecessary roughness and violence than the white hostages who were released or remained in the bank when the situation was finally ended,” Durham attorney Alan McSurely wrote.

4 Amish children die when buggy flips in Ky. creek

Rescue crews search for the body of an 11-year-old Amish girl Friday, at Roscoe Creek in Hickman County near Dublin, Ky.

MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — The flash flood warning went out via electronic channels the Amish typically eschew: TVs, radios and computers.

About an hour after the National Weather Service alert, four children were swept away as their family sought to ford a rain-swollen creek in a horse-drawn buggy.

Whether or not the family was aware of the warning for their Kentucky county, they knew it was raining hard Thursday night. And when they reached the normally tiny creek, it was more like a fast-moving river.

Within moments, the covered buggy tipped, tossing the four children into the torrent.

Amid darkness and despair, searchers were summoned. By early Friday, rescuers had recovered the bodies of three of the children. By morning, they had found the fourth.

“We’re trying to give the family some time by themselves right now to grieve,” Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon said. “There’s no doubt that this was just a terrible accident.”

The night had begun when Emanuel Wagler had packed his wife and children into the buggy for the short trip to his brother’s house. The buggy is a mode of transportation commonly used by Amish families like Wagler’s.

Emanuel and his brother, Samuel, went to a community telephone inside a wooden shack not far from the brother’s house to call their father in Missouri.

“That’s the main reason they came out, to call my dad,” explained Samuel Wagler, 37.

Later, the families ate supper. By Thursday

evening, Samuel figured the tiny creek his brother had to cross had risen to around the black buggy’s axles.

Emanuel, his wife and seven children — one of them Samuel’s 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth — were on their way back around 8:30 p.m.

Already, the severe thunderstorms that had swept over these rolling green farmlands had dumped 2 inches of rain on the countryside.

More was coming, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood warning for the eastern Kentucky county, said meteorologist Rachel Trevino.

It’s not clear if the family knew of the warning, issued just about an hour before the tragedy.

“It’s a very unfortunate. It’s very sad. Very, very sad,” Trevino said.

The Amish live among non-Amish in this farming community near the Missouri, Tennessee and Illinois state lines. By Thursday evening, some 250 emergency workers were helping in the search.

They found the bodies of 5-month-old Rosemary, 5-year -old Sarahmae and 8-year -old Samuel.

Despite hopes that Elizabeth may have been clinging to a tree branch, her body was found late Friday morning.

“She was just an all-around good girl,” said uncle Levi Yoder, 30, his voice cracking.

was hanging clothes on a line beside the house on Friday. Reporters were asked to leave.

“The community has stepped up above and beyond,” said Rachel Marler, a non-Amish neighbor.

Kentucky has nearly 8,000 Amish and 31 settlements, according to the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa. Graves County has up to 250, divided between two settlements, said Don Kraybill, a Young Center senior fellow.

On Friday afternoon, the battered buggy sat beside the creek in a cornfield. Its wheels were mud-caked and slightly buried in the thick brown soup. Part of the buggy’s side had peeled away. A red blanket hung out of the cabin. The horse survived.

Yoder kept his own vigil, trudging through a muddy field at creekside when his niece’s body was found.

“They crossed this creek, but when they came back they didn’t realize it was still rising,” he said, his voice choked with emotion.

Mike Huckabee toys with White House run

AP Photo

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee shakes hands after speaking about his new book at the National Press Club in Washington, Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mike Huckabee isn’t tamping down speculation of another presidential run. But he isn’t doing much to prepare for what on Thursday he called the “sausage grinder of a campaign.”

The winner of the Iowa caucuses in 2008 doesn’t sound all that enthusiastic about another bid as he travels on a nationwide book tour that includes early GOP primary states. Also calling into question how seriously the former Baptist pastor is weighing a candidacy: He plans to spend part of the

summer in Alaska hosting a cruise, some of his former aides aren’t waiting around for him to make a decision and Huckabee even offered up kind words for President Barack Obama, his would-be rival in 2012, and his family.

“Frankly, America needs a good role model like that,” Huckabee said Thursday of Obama, the nation’s first black president.

As for his own timeline, Huckabee said he is in no rush to start spending money

on a campaign.

“The question that you’re probably going to ask is ‘are you going to run?’ The question that I have for America is ‘do you think this message resonate with you?’”

Huckabee said. “If it does, that gives me a whole lot more encouragement to go put myself through the sausage grinder of a campaign.”

It’s hardly the first mixed signal about his interest in the 2012 race, which so far has drawn no declared candidates.

Many of the key players from Huckabee’s 2008 bid have moved on. Former campaign manager Chip Saltsman now works for freshman Republican Congressman Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee, and former campaign spokeswoman Alice Stewart took a job at the beginning of the year as a deputy to Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin, a Republican.

“It’s one of those situations where he hasn’t made up his mind, and we all have bills to pay, so we need to keep the money coming in,” Stewart said. “In the event he decides to run, a lot of folks will revisit that.”

Huckabee is doing just enough to remain a credible contender but is hardly clamoring to position himself as the frontrunner in a second attempt at the White House.

Though the former governor remains a presence in Arkansas, he’s no longer a resident of the state. He and his wife last year moved their residency and their voter registration to Florida, where he has a home under construction.

He has remained in contact with his supporters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina but hasn’t been aggressive in his fundraising. He has maintained a national profile through his job with the Fox News Channel but hasn’t rushed to insert himself into the daily back and forth the way some of his other potential rivals have.

Part of that calculation is financial; he is

expected to leave his job at Fox should he run.

“I need to make sure I’m ready to give up my job to declare my candidacy,” Huckabee said. “The day I say, ‘I’m running,’ that’s the day I don’t have an income.”

And he will be spending a week at sea in June, playing host to tourists paying as much as $3,000 to spend seven days visiting Alaska.

Rex Nelson, a former aide to Huckabee when he was governor, said that the mixed messages aren’t just an act, and he believes the former governor is truly torn about his future plans, especially when weighed against the lucrative opportunities of his television and radio jobs.

Republicans have yet to rally behind any of the potential candidates, none of whom has formally entered the race.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is in the process of putting together a presidential committee. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, another 2008 candidate, is unlikely to launch his expected campaign before April.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is expected to decide in the coming weeks.

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is talking with activists and operatives about a potential campaign, as is Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania has been rolling out advisers but has yet to formally enter the race.

And Sarah Palin, her party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee and former Alaska governor, has sustained a national profile and remains an open question for the Republicans.

None has yet taken the public steps of starting a campaign, in part because of the uncertainty of the field and in part because of costs.

It’s a far cry from January 2007, when Huckabee joined the early flood of 2008 candidates — just weeks after leaving office.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 49-year-old woman. I was recently contacted by the boyfriend I had when I was in my 20s. “Byron” was the love of my life, but I foolishly broke up with him. I then married a bum and had a child I am raising by myself on a very limited income.

I live in an apartment with mismatched furniture and have no money in savings. My former flame has done well and is now married with three children. I sent him a letter telling him how proud I am of him and of what he has achieved. His reply has brought back a flood of memories, and I feel terrible about where I am and being alone. How can I get over this?

BYRON’S LONG-AGO EX DEAR EX: If you want more frustration and heartbreak, continue swimming in your flood of memories. Keep in mind that you dumped Byron “foolishly,” and use that life lesson to guide you going forward. Because you are alone now does not mean you’ll be alone forever.

Living in an apartment with mismatched furniture does not mean your circumstances can’t or won’t improve. The answer to your question is to stay focused on the opportunities in front of you rather than looking over your shoulder. That’s how you get over this.

Dear Heloise: I’m responding to a previous column about MAILING HINTS and wanted to add a comment.

Please have your readers be careful when using cereal or cracker boxes for mailing or shipping. I have owned a private mail and shipping center for more than 23 years, and there are some things your readers should be aware of.

First, do not ship anything that could possibly break in such containers. Any item that is breakable needs a corrugated box — preferably new, if the item needs insuring. Some companies won’t insure items shipped in either bubble envelopes or thin cardboard.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a serious difference of opinion, and I’d like your input.

I am of Indian (Asian, not Native American) origin, and I would like our children to have Indian names because I think they are more unique and prettier.

My husband, who is American, contends they are often difficult to spell and pronounce, and moreover, since we’re an “American” family, we ought to chose American names. I disagree.

One of the names he would like to give, I particularly dislike. He says it was his grandfather’s name and he would like to carry it on. We don’t have kids yet — and at this rate we’re not likely to anytime soon. What do you think about this stalemate?

Dear Heloise: Being a college student, my schedule is different every other day, which means that I get up at different times. I was constantly forgetting to change the time on my alarm clock and was either oversleeping or getting up too early.

I solved my problem by buying another alarm clock the same size as the one I already had but in a different color.

They sit on my nightstand, one right behind the other. When I go to bed, I just turn the alarm on for the clock that I didn’t turn off in the morning. Now I don’t have to worry about setting the time on the clock before I go to bed.

Dear Heloise: I have a lot of gold chains of various lengths and styles, and I had trouble keeping them organized and untangled, and finding the length I needed. I was in the crafts store one day and had a flash of brilliance!

I purchased several of the clear plastic boxes that crafters use to store their beads and other small items. Each chain coiled nicely into its own compartment. I labeled each compartment with the length of the chain. Now I can find the correct one at a glance.

Obama urges Congress to agree on funding

President Barack Obama meets with Democratic Governors in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging Congress to keep the government running through the middle of March, saying failure to find common ground on how deeply to slash spending will cause gridlock and stall the economic recovery.

The current budget expires next Friday. That means lawmakers must adopt a new spending plan before the March 4 deadline to keep much of the government from shutting down. The Republican House and Democratic Senate disagree over how much to cut spending.

“For the sake of our people and our economy, we cannot allow gridlock to prevail,” Obama said Saturday in his

Michael’s Monthly

Roswell Development Update from the City Planning Director, Michael Vickers

weekly radio and Inter net address. “I urge and expect them to find common ground so we can accelerate, not impede, economic growth.”

House Republicans have proposed $4 billion in cuts as part of legislation to keep the government functioning through March 18, and they have urged Senate Democrats to accept that approach to avoid closing it down.

Democrats want a short-term extension at current spending levels so the parties can negotiate over how deeply to cut expenditures and begin chipping away at the deficit and the trillions of dollars in accumulated debt.

But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, insists that a

short-term bill without spending cuts is unacceptable.

Democrats have also rejected as draconian a bill the House passed last week to fund government operations through Sept. 30, the end of the budget year, while slashing spending by $61 billion. Obama has threatened to veto that bill.

Both sides have sought to preemptively blame the other if the first government shutdown since 1996 happens next week.

In the weekly Republican message, newly elected Sen. Rob Portman criticized Obama’s 2012 budget plan for proposing no changes to entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, which are huge contributors to overall government spending.

Raffle Winners

A former White House budget director, Portman, R-Ohio, urged Congress to make the “tough choices all Americans know are necessary to get our fiscal house in order and strengthen our economy.”

“Our goal as Republicans is to make sensible reductions in this spending and create a better environment for job growth, not to shut down the government,” he said. “Getting our debt and deficits under control is the first step we can take, and the single most important step Washington can take, to get our economy moving and create the jobs we so badly need.”

Qwest: settlement reached in suit over merger

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge in Denver has approved a settlement of a class-action lawsuit by shareholders who challenged the proposed merger of CenturyLink Inc. and Qwest Communications International Inc. Qwest spokeswoman Diane Reberger told The Denver Post on Friday that the judge indicated he’ll issue the order next week and that it will take effect March 17.

Monroe, La.-based CenturyLink, the fifth-largest phone company, agreed last April to acquire Denver-based Qwest in a $22 billion merger. Shareholders then sued, claiming the proposed merger wouldn’t adequately compensate Qwest investors.

Singer Shakira accepts Harvard honor D2 Sunday, February 27, 2011 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Grammy Awar d-winning singer and philanthropist Shakira has been honored by Harvard University.

The Harvar d Foundation, the university’s center for intercultural arts and science initiatives,

CLASSIFIEDS/ENTERTAINMENT

gave Shakira its 2011 Artist of the Year award on Saturday.

Foundation director S. Allen Counter says the Latin music artist, who has sold mor e than 50 million albums worldwide, was honored for her “distinguished history of cre-

ativity,” as well as for her charitable contributions.

After accepting the award, Shakira challenged Harvar d students to do more to improve education in developing countries.

Shakira founded the Bar efoot Foundation to pr ovide education and

nutrition to children in impoverished areas of her native Colombia. She is also a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador.

Previous winners of the Harvar d awar d include Sharon Stone, Will Smith, Jackie Chan and Herbie Hancock.

Industry tried to get doc disqualified from Oscars

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The natural gas industry has spent months attacking the documentary Gasland as a deeply flawed piece of propaganda. After it was nominated for an Oscar, an industry-sponsored PR group asked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to reconsider the film’s eligibility.

The reply: Let Oscar voters have their say.

“We do not have the resources to vet each claim or implication in the many (documentary) films that compete for our awards each year, and even if we did there would be no shortage of people disputing our conclusions,” Bruce Davis, the academy’s executive director, wrote in a reply obtained by The Associated Press.

Gasland is up for best documentary at today’s Academy Awards ceremony. Director Josh Fox’s dark portrayal of greedy energy companies, sickened homeowners and oblivious regulators has stirred heated debate among the various stakeholders in a natural gas boom that is sweeping parts of the U.S. The film has galvanized anti-drilling activists while drawing complaints about its accuracy and objectivity.

In a letter to the academy, Lee Fuller, the executive director of an industry-sponsored group named Energy In Depth, called Gasland an “expression of stylized fiction” with “errors, inconsistencies and outright falsehoods.”

He asked the academy to consider “remedial actions” against the film.

Davis, the executive director, wrote to Fuller that if the academy were to act on every complaint made about a nominated film, “it would not be possible even to have a documentary category.” He said the academy must “trust the intelligence of our members” to sort out fact from fiction.

“If facts have been suppressed or distorted, if truth has been twisted, we depend on them to sniff that out and vote accordingly,” he wrote.

The letter was given to the AP

by Energy in Depth, whose spokesman, Chris Tucker, said the group had no expectation that Gasland would actually be disqualified from Oscar consideration. The point, he said, was to educate academy voters.

“I think it’s a fairly good bet that a large majority of the folks who are going to be voting on this film don’t have a background in petroleum engineering,” quipped Tucker, who put together a 4,000-word rebuttal of

Josh Fox, who made Gasland, an Oscar-nominated documentary film about the dangers of fracking, holds up a video camera as he speaks at a rally of protestors against Marcellus Shale drilling outside the Developing Unconventional Gas (DUG) East convention and exhibition held Pittsburgh, Nov. 3.

Gasland last summer.

Fox said the industry’s campaign against Gasland has backfired.

“What they’re doing is calling more attention to the film, so I think it works against them,” the director said from Los Angeles.

“But I think it shows how aggressive they are, how bullying they are, and how willing they are to lie to promote the falsehood that it’s OK to live in a gas drilling area.”

The documentary category is no stranger to controversy.

Michael Moore films like Bowling for Columbine and Sicko, as well as Al Gore’s 2006 global-warming tale, An Inconvenient Truth, have likewise been attacked as

biased and inaccurate.

Like Moore, Fox defends his film as accurate. But he rejects comparisons to the bombastic, ideological director.

“What they’re trying to do is make (Gasland) look like a liberal, elite, Michael Moore thing, which of course it isn’t. It’s bipartisan,” he said.

Fox, a 38-year -old New York City theater director, took an interest in drilling after a gas company approached him in 2008 about leasing his family’s wooded 20-acre spread in Milanville, near the Delaware River in northeastern Pennsylvania, where he has lived off-andon since childhood.

Camera in hand, he went on a

cross-country tour of places where large-scale drilling is already under way, interviewing residents who say they were sickened by nearby drilling operations and aiming his lens at diseased livestock and flammable tap water that he also blames on gas industry malfeasance.

Though it had a tiny theatrical run, Fox has taken Gasland on the road for screenings in more than 100 towns and cities throughout the U.S., England and Australia. It has also aired on HBO. “The point was to get the film to the people who needed it most, who were in the middle of making these decisions” on whether to lease their land for drilling,

Stars rock at Oscar’s music rehearsals

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Kodak Theatre was rocking as Gwyneth Paltrow, Mandy Moore, Celine Dion and other musicians ran through the numbers they’ll perform on Sunday’s Academy Awards.

Moore dueted with Zachary Levi on “I See the Light,” the nominated song from Disney’s Tangled, as composer and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken backed them on piano. Paltrow continued to show her musical side, singing “Coming Home” from her recent film Country Strong. Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman and indie rocker Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine performed a haunting rendition of “If I Rise” from 127 Hours. Dion sang “Smile” as the In Memoriam packaged played on a big screen above her.

But an energetic group of 10year-olds stole the show from all those stars.

The 64 fifth-graders who make up the chorus at New York’s Public School 22 in Staten Island arrived at the Kodak Theatre Friday to

rehearse their per for mance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

They’d flown in earlier that morning, many of them on their firstever airplane trip. Wearing green or blue T-shirts that declared them to be an alto or soprano, they filled the theater with elementary-school enthusiasm.

“Justin Timberlake, oh my God!” one girl said when she saw the star’s seat-saving placard. “When I’m up there, my eyes will be right here.”

Then they tromped onto the Oscar stage and sang with such conviction and heart that they choked up an audience of Hollywood veterans.

Guided by stage managers and their teacher, Gregg Breinberg, the students practiced getting on and off stage and memorized their spots for the night. They marveled at the names they recognized in the audience. Sandra Bullock! Nicole Kidman! They looked around the big theater and had to be reminded to pay attention. But when they sang,

622-7710

it was clear they knew exactly what they were doing. They swayed and moved to the beat. They closed their eyes and gestured with their hands. They felt it.

“You’re in this song. You’re inside of it,” Breinberg told them. “You’re going to blow everybody away.”

Moments later, the kids were the ones blown away when show hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco surprised them on stage. The actors hugged and high-fived them, then posed for a photo.

“Way to go,” Hathaway told the group. “I love your dance moves.”

Next up for PS 22? They went to Disneyland Saturday, where they performed in front of the famous Magic Castle.

“We didn’t think we could beat the Oscars, but Disneyland is coming damn close,” Oscar producer Bruce Cohen said.

Then today, the fifth-grade singers will walk the red carpet before making their Academy Awards debut.

Daily Record classifieds

Fox said.

Fox isn’t the only Oscar nominee critical of natural gas drilling. Mark Ruffalo, who was nominated for the supporting actor award for The Kids Are All Right, lives in upstate New York, where there’s a fierce debate over gas extraction, and has emerged as a high-profile anti-drilling activist.

Energy In Depth’s Tucker said he plans to watch Sunday’s Academy Awards telecast, but doesn’t think the award ceremony will be the end of the discussion.

“If it wins the Oscar, the conversation continues on,” Tucker said. “If it doesn’t win the Oscar, the conversation continues on.”
