AG candidate promises to root out corruption THE VOICE OF THE PECOS VALLEY

Vol. 123, No. 259 75¢ Daily / $1.25 Sunday

BY JEFF TUCKER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Republican attorney general candidate Susan Riedel says, if elected, she would tackle political corruption in the state and implement a 24-hour hotline regarding compliance with the state’s Open Meetings and Inspection of Public Records acts.

At an Oct. 15 luncheon of the Chaves County Republican Women, Riedel also committed to not run for governor in the future if elected attorney general so that she would not be encumbered by political considerations while serving as AG. “What you need is an

attorney general who is not afraid,” Riedel told the GOP faithful. “Here’s one of the things that I think is really important about my race: I’m running for attorney general, and that’s what I want to do. I don’t want to be gover nor, ever, ever, ever. This is critical enough, because if you’re busy running for another of fice when you’re the attor ney general, you’re worried about everything.

Will the Democrats like that? Will the Republicans like that? Will the voters be concerned if I do this? If it’s the right thing to do, you have to have the guts and the nerve to stand up and do it.

“I want to be your attorney general for eight years.

I want to leave a legacy of accomplishing things. Now, everybody knows who our current attorney general is, but only really because he’s running against the governor. You didn’t really notice him. You should know who your attorney general is.

The job is just critical.”

Riedel was uncomplimentary of current Attorney General Gary King, who is running for governor after serving nearly eight years as attorney general.

“I think he’s done a just miserable job, frankly,” Riedel told the Daily Record after speaking at the GOP luncheon in Roswell. “He has managed to start prosSee RIEDEL, Page A3

Police Taser woman fleeing on bike STAFF REPORT

A Roswell police officer used his Taser on a woman as she attempted to flee him on a bicycle in an alley early Sunday morning.

Officers had responded to the 600 block of East Wildy Street in response to a prowler report, according to a news release from the police department.

At about 1:43 a.m., an officer made contact with Bethanie Renee Madrid, 23, of Roswell, in the 700 block of East Forest Street in the south alley, according to a police report.

According to the news

DEXTER — Hundreds of fish are dying at a lake near Roswell. And now, people who have caught some of those fish are wondering if they could get sick, or even die.

Rotting fish are everywhere at Lake Van in Dexter.

“The more I look, there’s thousands and thousands of fish just floating to the top, and now the stench is getting really bad; there’s flies everywhere,” said Colleen Cole-Velasquez, who lives on the lake.

She said the smell from the rotting fish is getting into her home.

“When the smell crosses the road over to your property, that’s not exactly what you want to smell when you’re getting ready for dinner,” said Cole-Velasquez.

release, the officer, yelling out the window of his police car, repeatedly warned Madrid during the first brief pursuit — during which she was followed on her bicycle by the police car — that if she did not stop, the officer would use his Taser, according to the release. Madrid stopped, but while the officer was out speaking to her, Madrid again pedaled away. The officer ran after her and announced again that he would use his Taser if she did not stop.

She failed to stop and when the officer got close enough, he deployed his Taser. The probes struck

Madrid in the back and she fell from the bike, according to the release. Madrid, who had initially given a false name to the officer, was charged with eluding an officer and concealing identity.

After the woman was identified as Madrid, the officer learned she had two outstanding bench warrants, according to the report. Madrid was arrested on charges of failure to appear, elude or attempting to elude an officer, miscellaneous arrest and other agencies warrants.

She was booked into the Chaves County Detention Center.

Walk up to any bank on the lake and you will see dozens of dead fish.

“People should be worried,” said New Mexico Game and Fish Biologist Shawn Denny. “When you see something dying in your environment, that should set off an alarm bell for you.”

Denny said the reason for the die-off is a microscopic plankton called golden algae. Denny says since last Monday, the algae have wiped out 95 percent of the fish in the lake.

Now there’s a whole lot of rotting fish, flies and questions.

SHERIFF: CHECK SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY BEFORE HALLOWEEN

STAFF REPORT

Eddy County Sherif f Scott London warns parents to check local sex offender registries to identify offenders in their neighborhoods before Halloween this Friday.

According to statistics from the Department of Justice and Watch Systems LLC, an estimated 80 percent of all addresses have at least one sex offender within one mile, according to a news release from the Eddy County Sherif f’s Office.

Forty-five percent of sexual assault victims are under the age of 12, and 75 percent of victims know their attacker. Over half of all sexual assaults occur within one mile of the vic-

ecutions that he either can’t or won’t finish. I think it’s an easy way out to say, ‘Oh, the court dismissed it on a technicality.’”

Riedel said King’s lack of initial involvement in the excessive force scandals of the Albuquerque Police Department have left a black mark on the AG’s office.

“I do know that a long time ago I believe the attorney general should have been reaching out to the local district attorney and going, ‘Is there something going on that I can help with?’” she said. “You don’t wait until the (U.S.) Department of Justice goes and says, ‘We’re going to come in and investigate’ and then run behind them and go, ‘Oh, me, too.’ I mean, really? We don’t need two of you to investigate. Something needed to be looked into. What we allowed is we allowed it to get to a point where people are afraid of the police, and we’ve got to fix that.

“It’s hard to attract good people to jobs when the job is so frowned upon and so belittled. We need to get our police departments back to a place where people have trust and faith in them.”

Riedel said the state’s attorney general should be capable of rooting out corruption before federal authorities have to get involved.

“We should be watching out for our own state,” she said. “If it gets to the point where we feel like we can’t handle something, we’re glad to have the Department of Justice assist in something. But we should not have been sitting on our hands, which is what it felt like. And it felt like that only because after they said they were coming in to investigate, then there’s the announcement, ‘Oh, me, too.’”

Riedel, a former prosecutor for more than 20 years, said she’s passionate about prosecuting cases of political corruption.

“The other thing that definitely has to get done in this state is we need to do something about corruption,” she said to the GOP

tim’s home. Currently there are 106 sex offenders registered in Eddy County, according to the release.

So before your children trick-or -treat this Halloween, London wants parents to have real-time access to sex offenders in your area.

“We do our best to ensure sex offenders live where they tell us, but it is up to our citizens to utilize these online tools to see who the registered sex offenders are and where they are living,” said London.

It is critical that parents “know before you go” this Halloween, London said.

The sheriff advises parents to go to the Community Notification website at communitynotification.com and click on the New Mexico

state tab. In Eddy County, visit the county’s Offender Watch page at sherif falerts.com/cap_main.php? office=54906.

Parents can quickly search for offenders in their area using the statewide database. They simply enter their home address to view a printable map of their neighborhood and any offenders in the surrounding area.

While you are on the website, you are encouraged to take one extra step and register for the site’s free email alerts. “You can enter your home, school, grandparents’ addresses to receive real-time email notifications any time an offender moves within one mile of any address you register,” said London.

“If you aren’t planning on

trick-or -treating in your own neighborhood, but will be in a different neighborhood, register that address beforehand so you know which houses to avoid,” London said. The alerts are in real-time and sent out via email as soon as an offender has registered with the Sheriff’s Office or other police department.

There is no cost of this service to the public, and no limit to the number of addresses you can register.

Your email address and physical addresses are all confidential.

If you have any questions, or need further help regarding the sex offender registry, contact Jack Levick, executive director of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association, at 505-9272362.

crowd. “I’ve prosecuted people. I took out the county clerk in Dona Ana County because he couldn’t follow the election law. I’m not afraid, whether you’re a Democrat, whether you’re a Republican. If you’re not holding up the public trust, then I’m going to come for you. That’s really what’s driving me. I’m very, very passionate about this.”

Riedel said political considerations are often the reason attorneys general around the country don’t pursue cases of political corruption, and instead leave the work to federal authorities.

“I think it’s because they have bigger policies in mind,” she said. “They want to do something else and they’re afraid. Political corruption cases aren’t always just about politics either. It’s about the fear of losing a case like that and the fear of looking bad when you do. You can’t be a lawyer, you can’t be a prosecutor, and be scared of that. If it’s the right thing to do and the evidence tells you that you can be successful in this case, you can’t run around with a tail between your legs worried.

You have to stand up, you have to make the argument, you have to be convincing. I’ve done it my whole life. It’s frightening to handle cases that draw people’s attention.”

Riedel said corrupt law enforcement officials, like federally convicted former Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella, undermine faith in all police.

“As a law enforcement officer all my life, one of the things that is the most distasteful to anybody in law enforcement is a bad cop,” she said. “They make everybody look bad. You can’t look the other way on those things. You have to

look into it.”

Riedel said, if elected, she would prosecute cases of political corruption before federal authorities are compelled to get involved.

“I don’t really want to leave them to the feds,” she said. “Sometimes, after discussions, they may be the better agency to handle stuf f. But that needs to then be made clear; we’re turning it over to the feds because their laws will cover it better. We don’t ever want to do things at the same times as them, because it’s just a waste of taxpayer resources. If we find there’s a federal investigation going on, we should be in discussions.

We should be saying, ‘Talk to us about that as much as you can. Is this something we should be handling ourselves?’”

Riedel also said she is committed to ridding the attorney general’s office of politics.

“It’s really not hard,” she said. “I’ve been doing it for 25 years. I’ve been a Republican for most of that time. I was a Democrat some of it. I never looked at the party.”

Riedel said prosecutions of political corruption cases, like all other cases, should not be based on whether the of fender is Republican or Democrat.

“You can’t do it that way,” she said. “As a prosecutor, you make that decision every day to be fair about what you’re doing.

You have to be able to put your head down on the pillow at night and ask God ‘Did I do everything today for the right reasons?’ You can’t worry about what party it is. Whenever you do a political corruption case, politics is in the title.

But only because it’s a person who’s been given the

public trust that makes it political. I’m not going to worry about which party they’re from, but whether they did the right thing.”

Riedel said the attorney general is not only the top cop in the state, but is also in charge of handling all appeals.

“There is not, I know from the 25 years I was a prosecutor, communication really between the district attorneys’ offices and the attorney general’s office,” she said. “One of the things that has to be done is that has to be fixed.”

Riedel said state attorneys general also decide when states should join federal and other lawsuits.

She said New Mexico should have joined the lawsuit initiated by several other states challengeing the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

“We should have been in that,” she said. “They weren’t successful, but they brought a lot of attention to what was going on.

They stood their ground.

We’ve just got to fight back.

Not just our state, but the country is being overrun by bureaucracy in D.C.” Riedel said New Mexico should join in a lawsuit filed by Oklahoma Attorney General E. Scott Pruitt that challenges the federal government’s decision to list the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species.

“It’s really time for us to push back,” she said.

“Attorney General Pruitt is pushing back against the Environmental Protection Agency, to say stop it. Stop sue and settle. Stop just sticking creatures on the Endangered Species list by doing the sue-and-settle thing. He stood up for the people of Oklahoma. We should definitely be in that

LAWSUIT SEEKS TO STOP FOOD STAMP WORK REQUIREMENTS

SANTA FE (AP) — Social services advocates filed a lawsuit Monday to stop Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration from imposing work-related requirements on low-income New Mexicans to qualify for food stamps.

The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty, the Southwest Organizing Project and several food stamps recipients sued the Human Services Department in state district court in Santa Fe. Starting next month, the state plans to phase in requirements that an estimated 26,000 childless adults work in order to receive food stamps and that about 60,000 low-income adults — as well as 16- and 17year -olds if they’re not attending schools — must search for a job, participate in community service or take part in job training programs to qualify for assistance.

The lawsuit said the department failed to follow proper procedures for adopting the planned regulation changes, which “will result in the loss of food assistance for tens of thousands of adults and a reduction in food assistance for other household members, including many children in New Mexico.”

Human Services spokesman Matt Kennicott called the lawsuit “baseless” and said the state’s goal “is to help more New Mexicans become self-sufficient, earn job training skills and find employment.”

lawsuit. I know the governor (Susana Martinez) asked the attorney general (Gary King) to join that lawsuit and he wouldn’t do it.”

Riedel said the lesser prairie chicken issue is an example of federal agencies trying to stymie fossil fuel energy development.

“This part of the state is booming,” she said. “So many things are happening over here. But we have the three-toed lizard and the squatty-eyed sphinx, I don’t know, we’ve got so many things that people are trying to stop us from moving forward over here. The oil and gas industry provides, I think, 38 percent of our general budget. We need to protect them from unreasonable regulation. If the EPA can prove that the prairie chicken is truly endangered by the behavior of something that’s happening in oil and gas or whoever it is they’re accusing of doing something wrong, we do that. I don’t want to just run over the prairie chicken with a truck.”

Riedel said she is also committed to the fulfillment of the state’s Open Meetings and Inspection of Public Records acts. She said she plans to dedicate an attorney to answer open meetings and IPRA phone calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. She said the attorney general’s office should respond promptly to complaints of violations of the open meetings and IPRA

acts.

Riedel said she would send a representative of the AG’s office to various governmental units to explain the need to comply with the acts.

“If the same agency continues to be in non-compliance, I think it’s important for the attorney general’s of fice to be the one that files the lawsuit and says, ‘Look, we’re serious,’” she said. “I think it just carries weight. There are so many little agencies that just don’t really understand how it works. I don’t just want to give an opinion. I want to get involved. I want an attorney to come and say, ‘Let me explain to you what you didn’t do right.’”

Riedel began as a prosecutor in Albuquerque before moving to Las Cruces in 1992 where she worked for the future governor as Martinez’s chief deputy district attor ney from 1997 to 2010, when Martinez was elected governor.

In 2011, Martinez appointed Riedel as district court judge. Riedel retired from the bench at the end of 2012. She said she came out of retirement when Martinez encouraged her to run for attorney general.

Riedel’s opponent in the general election is State Auditor Hector Balderas.

Liberal arts education is moral, intellectual, spiritual A4 Tuesday, October 28, 2014

A recent higher education program comparison put St. John’s College (SJC.edu) of Santa Fe and Annapolis in the top group of 23 schools doing enough of the right liberal arts things to deserve an A. The group included three military academies and some seriously obscure ones (the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha).

Such studies are necessarily bound by their criteria, a point worth mention because Colorado College in Colorado Springs, an excellent school, absurdly got an F. The report came from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (goacta.org) of Washington, D.C. Liberal arts grads even have economic value, even though, as St. John’s longest serving faculty member Eva Brann, puts it, “Our program of lear ning is unabashedly non-vocational.”

Employers, asked about the ideal new hire, says Brian Casey, pres-

ident of DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, describe liberal arts graduates: creative people “who can deal with complexity, who can think for themselves, work with other folks.”

Coincidentally, as the ACTA report was released, St. John’s hosted 200 people in Santa Fe for the first ever academic conference on the liberal arts. (St. John’s staff told me it was the first such conference.) The conference was part of the activities celebrating St. John’s 50 years in Santa Fe. My parking lot license plate census saw cars from nine states.

The liberal arts, St. John’s

Roswell Daily Record

style, are seminars starting with the Iliad and wrapping with James Joyce, and tutorials in science, language (Greek and French), mathematics and music.

What doesn’t happen at St. John’s is standard university approach of lectures, abstracts of material and context placing that add a confusing and inefficient layer between the student and the text. That means the approach also is not one of memorization and multiple-choice tests.

Instead, St. John’s students read the books, the original texts, and have conversations in an organized and structured manner.

These books, conventionally called “great books,” are different from “per fectly good books,” Brann told a conference session attended by more than 200. “Our royal texts” can be confronted by anyone, she said. (Almost anyone it seems to me).

St. John’s demands seriousness of students and faculty, Brann said. With the books, they delve into matters that, to start anyway, are beyond their capability.

The result, said Peter Pesic, who shared the podium with Brann at the conference session, is an education “moral, intellectual, spiritual.” The approach amounts to wrestling with genius (the books) first and leaving competence for later.

Pesic’s background is physics and music. He does an occasional book review for the Wall Street Journal. Brann’s academic training is in archeology and classics.

She joined St. John’s in 1957.

Goodreads.com lists 25 “distinct works” by Brann. One of those, “Homage to Americans,” was started during a four-hour layover in Denver. Pesic “only” has 19 Goodreads listings.

Brann notes that students cannot ask what the author means;

the author, after all, is not available. The question is what the text means.

The liberal arts get us to ideas easily overlooked. “The immediacy of music is powerful,” Pesic said. One question is “why we should hear the ratio of two-toone and feel something wonderful” and have a quite different response to other notes.

The liberal arts word may be getting out. The Economist recently pitched “inward-bound courses” for corporate leaders “to provide high-flyers with both an anchor and a refuge” by marinating the mind in great books.

Young grads “are in a good position to start businesses” because they can deal with many things, Brann said, “Our students are particularly well prepared to navigate the knowledge economy of our time.”

More than a few of us could use some navigation help.

EDITORIAL After we vote, don’t forget we still exist

SANTA ROSA — They found us on the map, but what about after the election?

Let’s hand it to both of New Mexico’s gubernatorial candidates.

Republican incumbent Susana Martinez and Democratic rival Gary King both followed that tricky-to-navigate straight line between the big city and Guadalupe County last week, just so they could say in so many words that they have not forgotten about rural New Mexico.

That seems simple, but the census data demonstrates why our little communities are getting harder and harder for politicians to remember. The Rio Grande Corridor does what a vacuum cleaner does, and it’s pulling our population away.

The simple truth is that in this day and age, our local economies are not “sticky” enough, and so our young people are getting sucked away to the big cities. That means fewer and fewer voters in rural parts of the state, and yet greater and greater needs for assistance from that state government we’ve propped up with our tax dollars for generations.

Regardless of which political party you favor or which gubernatorial candidate strikes your fancy, if you care about the long-term survival of places like Santa Rosa, Vaughn, Anton Chico, Puerto de Luna, Cuervo or Newkirk, then you’ve got to hold our next governor’s feet to the fire after the election.

Late in the campaign, both King and Martinez have offered us nice words and gestures.

King points to his family’s roots on the ranchlands of Torrance County and says he’ll fight for rural New Mexico. Martinez points to her recent trips to Santa Rosa and some money she has helped steer to projects at Power Dam and El Rito.

Good for both of them. But it shouldn’t satisfy any of us.

Neither gubernatorial candidate made rural New Mexico’s fight for survival the centerpiece of the campaign. It’s a tack-on issue in the contest, just like it’s an afterthought in a New Mexico Legislature increasingly dominated by urban interests, urban needs, urban priorities.

As nice as it is to see Martinez and King here, to listen as they say the right things to us, we need them to say the same things when they’re in Santa Fe, too. They need to say it on the Albuquerque television stations.

They need to say it during the debates.

So what if the city folks and well-heeled suburbanites don’t want to hear it. They need to hear it.

Our state’s spine, the Rio Grande Corridor, might be healthy, but our outlying communities are rapidly deteriorating into a form of necrosis.

Ghost towns might be fine tourist attractions, but travelers don’t need to see so many new ones in every corner of the state. And that’s what’s happening.

For New Mexico to be healthy, every part of the state must be healthy. We can no longer accept the accelerating concentration of poverty — and all the problems that come with it — in areas outside the metropolitan corridor.

The most reliable votes might come from the increasingly crowded suburbs of the big city, but that doesn’t mean that cutting a few minutes off some suburbanite’s commute time is the number one, most pressing need.

With their words here, Gov. Martinez told us that she gets that, and Attorney General King told us that he gets that. But they need to say that when they’re back in the cities — and loud enough for us to hear out here in the sticks.

After you vote next week for one or the other, make sure that the victor hears from you, loudly and clearly, that it’s not good enough to make quiet promises to rural New Mexico in the last two weeks of an election campaign.

New Mexico’s next governor needs to make the survival of our cherished hometowns a pressing priority — even for those city slickers who only visit us on the weekends.

REPRINTED FROM THE COMMUNICATOR

Debunking Christie’s minimum wage mythology If there is any upside to the constant blabber from a politician such as Chris Christie, it is that he blurts out what others like him would never say in public — for instance, his recent remarks at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“I’m tired of hearing about the minimum wage,” said the boorish New Jersey governor, a sentiment no doubt shared by the assembled big-business lobbyists and by most of Christie’s fellow Republican governors. “I really am. I don’t think there’s a mother or a father sitting around a kitchen table tonight in America who are saying, ‘You know, honey, if our son or daughter could just make a higher minimum wage, my God, all ourdreams would be realized.’”

Like him, several Republican governors have vetoed a proposed minimum wage increase during their terms, and a few have even questioned whether there ought to be any minimum at all.

JOE

CONASON SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

Christie doesn’t go that far — although he campaigns and raises money for those who do — but he evidently believes that paying even a povertylevel wage to the poorest workers is damaging to the economy. And the would-be GOP presidential hopeful also believes, as he suggested to the Chamber of Commerce, that the minimum wage mainly affects teenage and casual workers.

The notion that increases in the minimum wage slow down economic growth and employment is an old Economics 101 myth, bolstered last winter by a Congressional Budget Office study that said increasing the

federal minimum wage to just over $10 an hour might cost up to 500,000 jobs.

According to conservative economists, the minimum wage decreases demand for unskilled labor by raising the price. Simple enough, right?

Or maybe that formulation was too simple, because putting extra dollars into the hands of those who spend it immediately — on food, clothing and other essential goods — boosts the economy.

We have accumulating evidence, from a real ongoing experiment, that raising the minimum wage is actually beneficial to the economy and not only doesn’t hurt employment but helps create jobs.

The experiment is taking place in 13 states that raised minimum wages above the federal level earlier this year, where results can be compared with all the other states, which continued to let wages stagnate. So far, every comparison of employment rates for teenagers and adults with

high-school education or less between the two categories of states has upset the old assumptions about the effects of increases in the minimum wage.

Six months after wages went up, federal data indicated that jobs were growing more rapidly in those 13 states than in the rest. The most carefully controlled recent study — conducted by two economists at the University of Delaware, with numbers released a couple of months ago — showed that there was no drop-off in job growth in those states, which continued to have a slight, though statistically insignificant, advantage over states where the minimum wage wasn’t raised.

“There is no evidence of negative employment effects,” wrote the University of Delaware economists, Saul D. Hoffman and Wai-Kit (Ricky) Shum, “due to the increases

your risk of illness. Consistently pick the wrong foods, however, and you might speed up the inflammatory disease process.

The same foods that contribute to inflammation are already generally considered bad for our health, so it’s easier to remember them. They include sodas, refined carbohydrates, and red and processed meats. These foods affect inflammation directly.

They also contribute to weight gain, which is itself a risk factor for inflammation.

How does that happen? When you put on weight, the fat cells in your body become more numerous and also grow larger.

We used to think that what fat did was provide a storehouse of energy for when we

needed it, sort of like insulation that protected us against the cold. In the past 20 years we’ve learned that fat cells are little factories that make hormones and immune system chemicals. These substances influence our appetite, our metabolism — and inflammation.

To reduce inflammation, avoid or limit: • Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries; • Fried foods such as french fries; • Soda and other sugar sweetened beverages; • Red meat (burgers, steaks); • Processed meat (hot dogs, cold cuts);

Prevent chronic inflammation with a healthy diet

DEAR DOCTOR K: You’ve written that chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Is there anything I can do to fight inflammation without using medications?

DEAR READER: Inflammation in the body is a doubleedged sword. Short-lived inflammation, directed by your immune system at invaders like bacteria or viruses, protects your health.

But sometimes inflammation persists, even when there is no health threat. That’s when it can become your enemy. Many major diseases have been linked to chronic (ongoing) inflammation, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s.

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

The good news is that powerful tools to combat inflammation can be found in the grocery store. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. He explained that components of many common foods have anti-inflammatory effects.

By choosing the right foods, you may be able to reduce

‘Brain candy’ won’t rot your teeth LOCAL

Roswell Daily Record

BY LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

Friday is “Books for T reats Day,” encouraging “treaters” to give “brain candy” in the form of books instead of candy to Halloween “trick-or -treaters.” Halloween or All-Hallows’-Eve, is the night before All Saints’ Day, celebrated on Nov. 1. All Saints’ Day honors every known and unknown saint. The following day is All Souls’ Day, dedicated to prayers for the dead.

Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, honors the dead and is traditionally celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2 with festivals and lively celebrations. Although the Day of the Dead may sound much like Halloween, Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties and activities the dead enjoyed in life.

The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., contains books and other materials on the history and traditions of holidays and celebrations held throughout the year. The concept of holidays most often originated in connection with religious observances or holy days. The library also provides knowledge on various beliefs and religious faiths with hundreds of fiction and nonfiction titles on a multitude of interests. Information on these resources is listed in the online catalog of materials by subject, author and title. To access the

library’s online catalog or for information on the library’s various resources and services, visit the library, call 622-7101 or go to the library’s website at roswellpubliclibrary.org. Reference librarians are available to assist patrons in finding information or locating books and other materials. The library is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Book talk

Rosie Klopfer, interlibrary loan librarian, suggests some good reading for All Saints’ Day. Scott Hahn’s “Angels and Saints: a Biblical Guide to Friendship With God’s Holy Ones” shares the saints and angels who help make the most out of our daily lives.

Hahn begins his book with the personal experiences of his family in the town of Assisi. Scott and Kimberly Hahn were guiding a tour for fellow pilgrims in Assisi, a town where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and tourists visit each year. When their son Joe fell ill, the doctor told them they would move him in the morning, but he did not want to do surgery due to lack of modern medical

LETTERS

Dear editor: I request that you print the following correction to a statement about me in your candidate endorsements: I am not “open to legalizing recreational marijuana” which is what you said in your endorsements.

The Daily Record reporter who interviewed me used a recorder whose batteries went dead so he didn’t have a recording of what I said about some of the issues.

He left me a phone message asking again about some of my positions including my position on marijuana.

By an October 15th email I sent to this reporter I answered that I had read that “possible effects of driving under the influence of marijuana are ‘hallucinations, reduced awareness, limited vision, sluggish reflexes and slower decisions.’ I did not say I approve of the use of recreational marijuana.” I don’t. Also, marijuana stays in the human body for several months after use and we don’t know what all of its effects might be. But in your Oct. 26 candidate endorsement article you say I am “open to legalizing recreational marijuana.” I am not.

I have never smoked anything (cigarettes, cigars, pipes) including marijuana and have no desire to.

My mother smoked, which was a real turnoff to me causing me to never have an interest in smoking anything. It was also obvious to me that smoking is not good for your health. I’ve not tried marijuana in any other form either and am not “open to legalizing recreational marijuana.”

Your readers deserve to know my true position on recreational marijuana.

Dick Mastin Candidate for NM District 59 Alto Editor’s note: Following is an excerpt from a Oct. 15 news article published in the Daily Record. The newspaper had interviewed Mastin and his opponent, Republican Nora Espinoza, on their stands on a variety of issues: Mastin, 74, also said he is opposed to capital punishment and is open to the idea of legalizing recreational and/or therapeutic marijuana.

“As far as medical marijuana, I’m in favor of that because I know of people who have benefitted very much from it,” he said. “As far as recreational marijuana, I do have some reservations. I would say I am open to consider it, but I would base my opinion on the facts.”

in state minimum wages.”

Whether those comparisons will remain valid into the future remains to be seen, although there is an increasing set of studies, both national and international, suggesting that the conventional wisdom about the ef fects of increases in the minimum wage is simply wrong.

What we know for certain — and what the CBO report last winter also emphasized — is that increasing the minimum wage is good for poor families and lowpaid workers.

It improves family incomes, reduces dependency on welfare and other income support programs, and chips away at the worst ef fects of economic inequality. Raising the federal minimum to $10.10 an hour, as the president has proposed, would increase net real income to poor and working families by up to $17 billion and move about 1 million people up from destitution.

equipment. Scott remembered the saying be-not-afraid while he was praying for Joe and for his family.

He felt he was not alone. “God was with me; but there with God were so many others. I knew the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our guardian angels, and the saints whose footsteps I’d been following.” During the night, Joe, who had been writhing in agony, calmed and slept. The doctor ordered tests to confirm the improvement. The doctor stated, “I’m not a religious man, I’m scientific. I don’t believe in miracles.

But when you practice medicine in Assisi, you encounter these things. Things happen that science can’t explain.”

In Part II, Hahn explains believers should welcome and celebrate feast days as we do our own family’s birthdays and anniversaries. People do not worship statues and icons any more than people worship photos of their grandchildren. They are a lovely reminder of who has gone before us.

But the minimum wage isn’t a panacea.

After Christie vetoed an increase in the Garden State, Democratic legislators put it on the ballot, and the voters approved raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $8.25.

Yet while four of the top 10 states in employment performance this year were among those that raised the wage — specifically Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Florida — Christie’s New Jersey was not among them.

So bad was his economic management that New Jersey marked the worst per for mance of any state, period — with a net decline in employment of more than 0.5 percent by last summer.

No wonder he’s tired of hearing about higher wages. And no doubt working families are equally tired of hearing from him.

According to David, Spain took part in all seven harvest days this year with friends Isabella Salas, Shirley Sova and Debbie Majestic.

On the final harvest day, the volunteers were set to picking St. Vincent grapes. Small, and such a deep purple they’re nearly blue, this year’s St. Vincent crop will become 2015’s Born in Space, a signature, award-winning variety only from La Esperanza. The process takes about a year.

SILVER CITY — Sometimes, there are just too many grapes for four hands to pick.

That is why each fall, David and Esperanza Gurule embrace dozens of friends, family members and volunteers to their La Esperanza Vineyard and Winery to help them pluck plump purple and golden bunches of a wide variety of grapes for the next year’s vintage. La Esperanza harvested the last of this year’s crop on Oct. 12, with 13 volunteers.

‘WELCOME BACK, KOTTER’ STAR STRASSMAN DIES

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marcia Strassman, who played Gabe Kaplan’s wife, Julie, on the 1970s sitcom “Welcome Back, Kotter,” has died. She was 66.

Strassman died at her Sherman Oaks, California, home on Friday after battling breast cancer for seven years, her sister, Julie Strassman, said Sunday.

“They gave her 2 1/2 years to live but she lasted much longer,” she said.

“She was very courageous.”

Strassman had numerous roles on television and in film during her fivedecade career.

She played nurse Margie Cutler on the first season of “M.A.S.H.” before her breakout role in “Welcome Back, Kotter.” The show was about a teacher returning to the tough high school of his youth to teach a classroom full of misfits, including future movie star John Travolta.

She also played Rick Moranis’ wife in the Disney hit movie “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” and its sequel, “Honey I Blew Up the Kid.”

Born on April 28, 1948, in New York City, Strassman began acting as a teen, replacing Liza Minnelli in the of f-Broadway musical “Best Foot Forward.” She moved to Los Angeles at 18 and landed a steady stream of roles.

way on Ebola quarantines

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk, but some state governors and even the Army are carving their own paths.

As contradictory state policies proliferate in response to Ebola fears, the CDC’s recommendations mark an effort to create a national standard, one that would protect public health without discouraging people from helping fight its spread overseas.

The CDC now says even if people have no symptoms and are not considered contagious they should stay away from commercial transportation or public gatherings if they have been

in direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone sick with Ebola — say, by touching their fluids without protective gear or by suffering an injury from a contaminated needle.

on Saturday, November 1st at 4:00 p.m. at Grace Community Church, 935 W. Mescalero, Roswell, NM, with Pastor Sean Lee officiating.

An additional visitation and memorial will take place at the State Capitol Rotunda in Santa Fe, NM on November 7, 2014. Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with the service immediately following. Her ashes will be buried at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. A memorial will also take place at the Lovington, NM cemetery at a later date.

Bor n on November 5, 1935 in Meadow, Texas to Isom F. and Lena C. (Gregory) Collier, Shirley was one of 13 siblings. She is survived by two sisters, Betty Beatty and LaVida Kinnear and husband Wayne, all of Roswell. She was predeceased by her parents, husband Edward P. Garcia, brothers Jake and Joe Collier and sisters Lillian Hall, Nona (Tootsie) Vinson, Jackie Church, Ruby Rodgers, Frances (Frankie) Kizziah, Bobbie Lavash, and Maxine Raburn.

Shirley and her family moved to Lovington, NM in 1939, where she graduated from high school in 1953.

She has lived in Lovington, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Portales and Hobbs. In her early years she worked for private law firms as a legal secretary, then in 1959 she began her career in the New Mexico state government. She was the secretary to the Speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives; she also worked as the Assistant Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives and as legal secretary to two judges for the Supreme Court of Appeals. Shirley

then went on to serve as New Mexico Secretary of State, and after that as Lea County Clerk. She was Administrator for the Hobbs Office of State Public Defender, then Chief Deputy of the Santa Fe County Clerk’s office. She served on the New Mexico School for the Deaf Board of Regents and was one of the founders of the International Association of the Parents for the Deaf.

Shirley took pride in volunteering for many organizations for children with disabilities.

She is survived by her sons John Hooper of Santa Fe, NM, Greg Hooper and his children Zachary and Taylor of Chandler, AZ, her step-sons Scott Lucky of Post Falls, Idaho, Anthony Garcia his wife Karen and their children Anthony, T revor, and Nicholas of Temecula, CA, Ted Garcia of Chula Vista, CA, and Reuben Garcia his wife Andrea and their children, Jessica, Parker, and Joseph of Canyon Country, CA. She also leaves numerous loving cousins, nieces, nephews and a host of friends.

The family would like to thank Dr. Tareq Braik, MD and his staff, Gentiva Hospice, Comfort Keepers and other caregivers for their passion and caring for Shirley throughout her illness.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Grace Community Church at 935 W. Mescalero, Roswell, NM 88201 or the charity of one’s choice.

Condolences may be made online at lagronefuneralchapels.com Arrangements are under the personal care of LaGrone Funeral Chapel.

Absent that direct contact, simply caring for Ebola patients or traveling in West Africa doesn’t warrant quarantine conditions, the public health agency said.

But quarantines are determined state by state in the U.S., and the CDC is empowered only to issue guidelines. And even within the federal government, authorities were improvising Monday: A U.S. Army commander in Italy said he and his troops returning from Liberia would remain in isolation for 21 days, even though he feels they face no risk and show no symptoms.

Redskins end Cowboys’ 6-game streak, 20-17 in OT Tuesday, October 28, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Colt McCoy’s successful return to Texas trumped Tony Romo’s dramatic return to the game.

McCoy directed Washington to Kai Forbath’s 40yard field goal in overtime and Dallas was unable to answer after Romo came back from an injury to his surgically repaired back, sending the Redskins to a 20-17 victory on Monday night that snapped the Cowboys’ six-game winning streak.

McCoy, the former Texas star playing at the home of the Cowboys for the first time since his final college game in his home state, calmly drove the Redskins (3-5) to the winning points.

The Cowboys (6-2) had one last chance, but didn’t get a first down. Romo’s final pass on fourth down was knocked away by Bashaud Breeland.

Romo left after getting sacked by Keenan Robinson in the third quarter. He

Royals look to stay alive KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 2-foot-tall image of deer in multicolored neon with a bulls-eye on its tail is affixed to a wall in the Kansas City Royals locker room. It hangs between the stalls of Aaron Crow and Tim Collins, and has a “W’’ under neath a crown.

Pitcher James Shields ordered it custom made, and after wins veterans select a “King of the Game” to flip the switch that lights up the so-called “Texas Heart Shot” while a smoke machine perched atop a refrigerator fills the room with a fog more befitting a night club than a clubhouse.

Trailing 3-2 to the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, the Royals hope to light up that sign two more times this week.

But if they do come back to win their first title in 29 years, it’s unlikely there will be time for their usual clubhouse ceremony given the champagne-fueled chaos.

“I doubt it. It’s going to be crazy around here if we win both games,” outfielder Lorenzo Cain said Monday.

Kansas City turns to a 23-year-old rookie to save its season, but not just any 23-year -old rookie: the hardest-throwing starting pitcher in the major leagues.

Mementos placed at a makeshift memorial to St. Louis Cardinals’ Oscar Taveras are shown outside Busch Stadium Monday, in St. Louis. Taveras, the Cardinals’ outfielder regarded as one of the majors’ top prospects, died Sunday in a car accident in his native Dominican Republic. He was 22.

Iorg’s two-run single in the ninth after a blown call by first base umpire Don Denkinger, and the Royals went on to blow out the Cardinals 11-0 a day later behind Bret Saberhagen for their only title.

In the 41 previous instances the World Series was 2-2 in the best-ofseven format, the Game 5 winner has taken the title 27 times. But eight of the last 10 teams to come home trailing 3-2 swept Games 6 and 7.

“We have a lot of confidence in Ventura. We have confidence that we will win every time he takes the mound,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said.

“We know we can do it.

We’re a confident group.

mostly under his own power.

Coach Jason Garrett said X-rays were negative and Romo had a back contusion.

E-mail: sports@rdrnews.com

He played through a back injury against the Redskins last year, leading a winning drive that kept the Cowboys’ playoff hopes alive. But he had to sit out a season-ending loss to Philadelphia that kept Dallas out of the postseason for the fourth straight year.

This time, it was McCoy getting the win in his first start in almost three years after beginning the night with a career record of 615.

McCoy, who was 25 of 30 for 299 yards, threw 23 yards to Pierre Garcon to get the winning drive going.

On third-and-3 from midfield, he fled the pocket, pointed to Jordan Reed to run up the field and lofted a pass that Reed caught while tiptoeing inbounds.

Another 16-yarder to Reed made Forbath’s job much easier.

Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray extended the record he took from Jim Brown a week ago with

his eighth straight 100yard rushing game to start the season. He had 141 yards rushing and another 80 receiving.

Brandon Weeden took over at quarterback after Romo was hurt, and his first play was a handoff to Murray for 51 yards to the Redskins 6, pushing him over 1,000 yards for the second season in a row.

The previous Dallas running back with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons was NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith with 11 in a row from 1991 to 2001.

McCoy put Washington up 17-10 early in the fourth quarter with a 7yard run on a quarterback draw, slicing between three defenders across the goal line.

Weeden answered with a matching 80-yard drive capped by his 25-yard scoring pass to Jason Witten.

Cardinals stunned by Taveras’ death See ROYALS, Page B2

Kansas City Royals pitcher Tim Collins throws after relieving Danny Duffy during the seventh inning of Game 1 of baseball s World Series against the San Francisco Giants.

Mike Matheny needed some time to figure out what to say. Like the rest of the St. Louis Cardinals, the manager was leveled by the sudden death of Oscar Taveras.

The Cardinals are grieving the loss of an active player for the third time in 12 years after the 22-year-old Taveras died Sunday in a car crash in the Dominican Republic. Matheny, general manager John Mozeliak and pitcher Carlos Martinez were part of a group from the organization with plans to attend a private burial service Tuesday in Taveras’ country.

“I was asked last night to give some words regarding the tragic death of Oscar Taveras, but I just simply couldn’t,” Matheny said Monday in a statement. “To say this is a horrible loss of a life ended too soon would

be an understatement.”

Taveras was a teenager when he signed with St. Louis as an international free agent in 2008. He was regarded as one of baseball’s top prospects and homered in his major league debut May 31. He also had a big solo drive in the seventh inning of Game 2 in the NL Championship Series against San Francisco.

“He was someone that became an identity of our organization to some degree,” Mozeliak said in a conference call with St. Louis media before a visitation Monday night. “When you think about how much has been written about him and how much has been talked about him, he never truly got a chance to show it at the major league level.”

Mozeliak said he took a connecting flight from

as the first openly gay player in the four major North American pro sports leagues.

WNBA stars Swin Cash, Teresa Edwards, Ruth Riley and Katie Smith are on the relay along with players-tur ned-NBA TV analysts Greg Anthony and Steve Smith.

Rounding out the group are executives from the league, Knicks and Nets and broadcaster Mike Breen.

Each celebrity will be joined on his or her onemile leg with a local student who takes part in marathon organizer New

York Road Runners’ youth programs. Silver will run alongside Lauren Pitarresi, a 14 year-old from Staten Island, “who I’m concerned is going to smoke me,” he joked.

Silver is an avid runner who has twice completed the NYC Marathon, finishing in just under four hours in both 2002 and 2010. He competed in track and cross country — and not basketball — in high school in R ye, New York, where he was a quarter- and half-miler.

The 52-year -old Silver hasn’t been running as much since he became

Miami with Taveras’ father.

“Clearly, he was shaken by these events,” the GM said.

Taveras was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro at the time of the accident on a highway between the beaches of Sosua and Cabarete in Puerto Plata, about 215 miles north of the capital of Santo Domingo. Edilia Arvelo, Taveras’ 18-year-old girlfriend, also died in the crash.

A funeral for Arvelo was held Monday in her hometown of Moca.

Highway police spokesman Col. Diego Pesqueira said the road was wet from a recent rain but the cause of the crash is under investigation. An autopsy was done Monday but results weren’t available.

Moises Rodriguez, the international scouting direc-

tor for the Cardinals, called Mozeliak with the news Sunday night.

My very first thought was ‘Is this true? Is this possible?’” Mozeliak said.

The Cardinals had just finalized plans for Taveras to spend most of November at the team’s spring training facility in Jupiter, Florida, and then head to the Dominican Winter League.

“In my opinion, the word ‘love’ is the most misused, and misunderstood word in the English language. It is not popular for men to use this word, and even less popular for athletes,” Matheny said. “But, there is not a more accurate word for how a group of men share a deep and genuine concern for each other. We loved Oscar, and he loved us.

NBA commissioner, ex-stars in NYC Marathon relay NEW YORK (AP) — NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will run the first three miles of the New York City Marathon on Sunday as part of a 24-person relay of basketball luminaries.

Dikembe Mutombo will cross the finish line for the group, which is trying to encourage kids to exercise.

Silver said Monday that he will run over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn then pass a baton to Chris Mullin, the Brooklyn native who starred at St. John’s in Queens before a Hall of Fame NBA career.

Mullin, now an executive with the Sacramento Kings, will be followed by a long list of big-name players to cover the 26.2 miles.

Most also have local ties, including Bronx native and fellow Hall of Famer Nate “T iny” Archibald; Knicks greats Charles Oakley, Bernard King and Allan Houston; the Nets’ Darryl Dawkins; Brooklyn native Sam Perkins; and New York City high school legends Felipe Lopez and Albert King.

Also running is Jason Collins, who made history last season with the Nets

commissioner in February.

He still gets in four or five workouts a week, often taking two laps around the reservoir in Central Park for just over three miles.

He’s not in good enough shape to do the full race Sunday, though it’s a strange sensation as a marathoner to stop after only a few miles.

“I felt awkward running only a leg of the marathon and not the entire marathon, having remembered some famous New York stories of people who started and didn’t necessarily finish,” Silver said.

Plans for the relay began

in the early spring. New York is home to this season’s NBA All-Star weekend, with events at the Nets’ Brooklyn arena and the game at Madison Square Garden.

The league is seeking to reach a half-million youngsters in the five boroughs through fitness programs in conjunction with hosting the festivities.

Silver will start just after Wave 1 on Sunday. He needs to be ready to leave his home on Manhattan’s West Side at 6 a.m. to get to Staten Island, though he said he’s “negotiating” a later pick-up.

Oct. 28 1939 — Kansas State’s homecoming contest against Nebraska is the second college football game ever televised, following the Fordham-Waynesburg contest in New York

manager Ned Yost went to his hard-throwing HDH relief trio of Kelvin Herr era, Wade Davis and Greg Holland in the 7-2 victory.

“His confidence is just staggering,” Yost said.

“You walk in that clubhouse, and he looks you squar e in the eye with that glint that says: ‘I’m ready for this.’”

The 33-year -old Peavy took the loss, giving up four runs and six hits in five innings-plus. He is seeking his first World Series win — he didn’t get a decision for Boston in Game 3 last year — and

“I can’t imagine anything being any sweeter than that,” he said. “This is the start that you play your whole career wanting.”

This is the first World Series in which four of the first five games were decided by five runs or more. The second all-wild card World Series has followed the pattern of the first in 2002. The Giants won the opener on the road, lost the next two games and won two in a row to take a 3-2 lead.

San Francisco opened a 5-0 lead in Game 6 at Anaheim but lost 6-5, and the Angels won Game 7 the following night.

LeBron back home, Spurs back on top as NBA returns

LeBron James returned to Cleveland, Kevin Love joined him and suddenly the Cavaliers had the makings of the latest superteam.

The San Antonio Spurs are already one.

No big changes were necessary for the Spurs, who simply kept the gang together. They brought back nearly every piece from the team that annihilated James and the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals for their fifth championship.

James set of f shortly after for a new start in his old home, where he will renew the quest for a championship that’s eluded Cleveland’s pro teams for half a century. The Spurs on Tuesday will begin chasing about the only thing that’s escaped them in the Gregg Popovich-Tim Duncan era: back-to-back titles.

“We know that every team is going to come out and give us everything they’ve got,” Spurs guard Danny Green said. “We’ve got a bigger target on our chest now and that’s what we want. ... We’ve got to take on the challenge and be the ultimate competitors that we are.”

Teams will be coming just as hard at the Cavaliers, who didn’t win much more than draft lotteries after James bolted for Miami in 2010. But they were elevated to instant Easter n Conference favorites when James joined Kyrie Irving, the MVP of the All-Star game and the Basketball World Cup, and Love, the longtime Minnesota T imberwolves star.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) looks to pass against the Indiana Pacers in the first half of an NBA preseason basketball game, Wednesday, in Cincinnati. Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (0) watches.

Neither of those guys has even played in a postseason game, but inexperience — or anything else — won’t work as an excuse now that James is back in his

familiar No. 23.

“It’s going to be a different challenge for them,” James said. “They were so accustomed to being the prey sneaking up on the

predator. Now it kind of changes.”

James and the Spurs could meet for the third straight June, a familiar NBA Finals plot with a new

stage and co-stars. But both face significant challenges just to get there.

Derrick Rose’s retur n could lead a running of the Bulls right to the finals.

Maybe Oklahoma City, once MVP Kevin Durant recovers from a broken foot, or the Los Angeles Clippers, looking to pay back record-spending new owner Steve Ballmer with a championship, could stand in the Spurs’ way.

“I don’t see it as a big question mark in the East.

LeBron and Love and Irving will be in the Eastern Conference finals. I think Chicago will find their way there if their 2 and 3 hold up and if Rose is Rose again,” ABC/ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy said. “But out West, to me there are like five teams you could say, ‘I could see them advancing to the finals.’”

None has the continuity of the Spurs, who brought back 14 of the players who had confetti falling on their heads after Game 5. They won’t be in top form for a while because of injuries, especially NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard’s eye infection, but they still stand out even among the other top teams in the loaded West.

“I think we’re all right next to each other — other than the Spurs,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “The Spurs are better than all of us. I don’t think there’s any question about that and so we have to catch the Spurs.”

Here are other things to watch as the NBA season begins: WILL OKC BE OK? Durant is likely out until

December because of a broken bone in his right foot.

He carried the Thunder through the absence of Russell Westbrook last season, and now Westbrook may need to raise his game to keep Oklahoma City among the West leaders.

WELCOME BACK: Rose and Kobe Bryant are back after knee injuries kept both former MVPs sidelined most of last season. Only Rose has realistic title hopes, as Bryant’s Lakers could be headed for another rough season after losing a franchise-record 55 games in 2013-14.

KEEP PACE? Easter n Conference finalists last season, the Indiana Pacers lost All-Star Paul George to a broken foot and Lance Stephenson to Charlotte in free agency, leaving a team that struggled to score without its two best offensive players. The Pacers will still defend, but can they find enough points to stay in the playoff picture in an improved conference?

OH, CANADA! Even with Steve Nash’s career possibly over because of a back injury, there could be around a dozen Canadians on NBA rosters, topped by Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett, the last two No. 1 overall picks who were dealt from Cleveland to Minnesota in the Love trade.

TAKE A BREAK: Look for fresher players to start the second half of the season after the NBA extended the All-Star break to give teams at least a week off around the Feb. 13-15 weekend in New York.

Shared Belief is 9-5 favorite for BC Classic SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — Shared Belief was made the early 9-5 favorite on Monday in a field of 14 for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, a race featuring a strong contingent of seven 3-year-olds taking on older foes. Shared Belief is 7-0 in his career, with all of his races coming in California.

Shared Belief’s most recent win was in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita last month for co-owner and sports talk host Jim Rome. The colt drew the No. 6 post for the 1 1⁄4-mile race on the same track.

“He’s got speed all around him and we’ll be able to follow them into the first tur n,” said Hall of Famer Mike Smith, the winningest jockey in the Breeders’ Cup who will ride Shared Belief.

Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome will break from the No. 13 post as the 4-1 second choice. He has lost two straight races and one of his owners has said the colt will be retired if he runs poorly on Saturday.

“I just hope he has a great race,” trainer Art Sherman said. “He loves Santa Anita. The horse is training great and I look for a big performance out of him. I love the post position. I don’t have to be down there (inside).”

Tonalist, who ended Califor nia Chrome’s T riple Crown bid with a victory in the Belmont, drew the No. 11 post and is the 6-1 third choice.

Untapable, the nation’s top 3-year-old filly, is the 5-2 favorite for the $2 million Distaf f, one of four Breeders’ Cup races on Friday. She will break from the No. 10 post under Rosie Napravnik in the field of 11.

“I look for a huge race from her,” trainer Steve Asmussen said.

Close Hatches is the 3-1 second choice and drew the No. 11 post, while Don’t Tell Sophia is the third choice at 5-1 from the seventh hole.

Untapable won her first four starts this year, as did Close Hatches. Defending champion Beholder was sidelined by a fever.

American Pharoah drew post position five in a field of 13 for the $2 million Juvenile, where the 2-yearold will try to position himself as the early favorite for next year’s Kentucky Derby.

American Pharoah will be ridden by Victor Espinoza, who rides Califor nia Chrome in the Classic.

Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baf fert, American Pharoah is 2 for 3 in his young career. His sire, Pioneerofthe Nile, finished second to 50-1 shot Mine That Bird in the 2009 Kentucky Derby.

The Juvenile, to be run Saturday on the second of two days of racing during the 31st Breeders’ Cup, includes two entries each from Baffert, Todd Pletcher and Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien.

Daredevil, who is 2 for 2 for Pletcher, landed in the tough outside post of No. 12. His other horse, Carpe Diem, also is 2 for 2.

“Sometimes horses pull bad trips from good posts and vice versa,” Pletcher said. “Both horses are going into the Juvenile in great shape and they have been very good horses at the gate.”

The Juvenile features one of the deepest fields in Breeders’ Cup history.

Besides Daredevil and Carpe Diem, Blue Dancer and Souper Colossal also are undefeated.

Califor nia Chrome is looking for a rebound in the Classic. After finishing fourth in the Belmont, he took an extended vacation and returned last month in the Pennsylvania Derby, where he ended up sixth.

“He keeps getting stronger and stronger,” said Alan Sherman, assistant to his 77-year -old father, Art. “I think he’s coming into the race just as good, if not better, than he was into the Derby and Preakness.”

The Classic field also includes Bayern, who will try to end Baffert’s 0-for12 skid in North America’s richest race, which caps Saturday’s card of nine Breeders’ Cup races.

The $26 million world championships open Friday with four races, including the $2 million Distaff at 1 1⁄8 miles.

Wise Dan out of the $2 million Mile, and his defection triggered a flood of 25 pre-entered horses. The maximum field of 14 includes Obviously, who finished third and fifth. In the $1 million Juvenile Tur f, Hootenanny drew post No. 5 as the 3-1 favorite under Frankie Dettori.

Defending champion Goldencents was made the 6-5 favorite for the $1 million Dirt Mile, where he drew the No. 1 post in the field of 10. He is being trained by Leandro Mora, subbing for his boss Doug O’Neill, who is suspended for a medication violation.

“Last year Goldencents drew post 12, and we got

around it,” Mora said. “I think the rail is a positive because of the speed he has.”

In the $1 million Juvenile Fillies Tur f, Sunset Glow will break from the No. 3 post as the 7-2 favorite under Espinoza.

Osaila and Qualify, a pair of Irish horses, were the 51 co-second choices.

Rangers score 5 in 3rd, rally to beat Wild 5-4 NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers could have been counted out multiple times against the Minnesota Wild.

Such as when forward Chris Kreider was ejected in the first period or when defenseman John Moore was kicked out in the second, or when the Wild scored two even-strength goals and then carried a three-goal lead into the third period.

But with only 20 minutes to go against the NHL’s hottest goalie, the Rangers found a way to forge one of their most improbable wins.

Despite recording only eight shots through 40 minutes, New York stor med back against Darcy Kuemper and the Wild, scoring five goals in the third period for a 5-4 victory Monday night.

Only one other time — Jan. 4, 1956, against Detroit — has New York come back from a 3-0 hole in the third period to win.

The last time the Rangers rallied from any three-goal deficit in the third period to win was Dec. 27, 1992, against Boston.

“It was a pretty crazy game,” Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said, “but in the end you want to be on the good side of those.”

Kevin Klein started the comeback at 2:52 of the third. Rick Nash made it 3-2 at 4:48, but Jason Zucker restored the Wild’s two-goal lead 47 seconds later.

“When they scored the fourth one, that was a tough one,” goalie Henrik Lundqvist said. “We came back with two goals and we had the energy. We had the building going and they killed the momentum.”

That, too, was fleeting.

Youth and some fresh legs carried the Rangers to victory.

Anthony Duclair scored his first NHL goal with 3:48 remaining, and Mats Zuccarello put the Rangers ahead 37 seconds later in New York’s biggest third period since January 1993.

The Wild appeared to be in complete control nearly all night, but left with a stunning loss. Kuemper gave up only four goals in five previous games this season.

“This is twice already this year where we’ve blown third-period leads,” coach Mike Yeo said. “I don’t know if we did that twice all last year.

“We didn’t respond very well tonight, no question.”

The Rangers won the game 5-4. year-old Duclair, playing his seventh NHL game, tied it. Zuccarello won it with his first of the season.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet, I don’t think,” Duclair said.

“It was a big comeback for us. It speaks to the leadership in this locker room.”

Nate Prosser, Matt Cooke and Jason Pominville scored second-period goals for the Wild (4-3), who held a 30-20 shots advantage but had their

two-game winning streak snapped.

Kreider and Moore could be facing supplemental discipline from the NHL for separate hits that led to the ejection of both.

Despite receiving a pair of 5-minute power plays that combined to take up 9:45 of the second, the Wild still haven’t scored a man-advantage goal this season in 24 opportunities.

But they struck for

pants the next two weeks with a road game in Seattle following by a home game against Denver. That will be followed by division games against tough San Diego and Kansas City as the Raiders try to snap a skid that dates back almost a full year now.Oakland has not won a game since beating Houston 28-23 last Nov. 17 in the first career start by Matt McGloin.

“Right now what we can’t get caught doing is letting anybody else define who we are at this point, or what our goals are at this point,” Sparano said. “We need to concern ourselves with our own goals for right now, and there should only be

one and it should be Seattle at this point. We should not be looking down the road at anything right now.

We shouldn’t be looking any place other than with what’s directly in front of us, and that would be this challenge this week.”

The Raiders have been competitive in all three games under Sparano, having led late in a loss to San Diego in the first game under the new regime and being within a score at the start of the fourth quarter the past two weeks.

But they have failed to come through at the end with the most costly play Sunday coming when Darren McFadden lost a fum-

three even-strength tallies in the second, and have outscored opponents 13-1 in the middle period this season.

New York was outshot 24-8 through 40 minutes — including 11-3 in the second. But the Rangers (5-4) regrouped and began a stretch of 10 of 13 games at Madison Square Garden in thrilling fashion.

Kreider received a major penalty for boarding defenseman Jonas Brodin late in the first period, and Moore was ejected midway through the second for a blatant hit to the head of forward Erik Haula that resulted in a match penalty.

Kreider was given a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct.

That gave the Wild their third power play of the scoreless first period, with 4:45 of the advantage carrying over into the second.

The Rangers killed that, but Minnesota grabbed a 2-0 lead soon after with goals 55 seconds apart by Prosser and Cooke.

Less than a minute after the second goal, Moore drilled Haula in the side of the head between the circles in the New York end.

The Rangers killed that 5minute power play, too, but gave up a goal

moments later to Pominville to fall behind 3-0.

Any momentum the Rangers could have expected after Kreider’s penalty expired was lost 44 seconds after it ended when Justin Fontaine sent a diagonal pass down to the right post to Prosser, whose shot was initially stopped by Lundqvist but slithered in at 5:29 for Prosser’s first of the season.

Cooke, who earned the second assist on that goal, made it 2-0 at 6:24 when Fontaine sent a pass from behind the net to him at the right post for his second.

Pominville stretched the Wild lead to three by scoring his third with 4:22 left in the second.

NOTES: The Rangers’ previous victory after trailing by three goals at any point was April 4, 2011, against Boston. ... New York has won 68 straight games when scoring at least four goals. ... This marked the first time Kuemper (4-2) has allowed more than two goals this season. ... The teams meet again in Minnesota on April 2.

New problems, same results each week for Raiders

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Every week there’s a new problem and the same result for the Oakland Raiders.

One week it could be run defense or an inability to get off the field on third down. Another it could be penalties or lack of a running game. The most recent games it was three costly turnovers that did in Oakland in a 23-13 loss at Cleveland.

The one constant has been the losses whether it was under for mer coach Dennis Allen or his interim replacement Tony Sparano, who fell to 0-3 since Allen was fired after an 0-4 start.

“The one thing that has

to stop happening for us is we can’t patch one hole up and then find another one,” Sparano said Monday. “I think we’ve given ourselves a chance to win three football games right now. I mean, listen, there were a lot of games played this weekend where people did not have a chance to win the games, and we’ve given ourselves a chance to win these three football games.”

Oakland (0-7) is off to its worst start since 1962 and has dropped 13 straight games overall following Sunday’s loss in Cleveland and the schedule only gets tougher from here on out.

The Raiders play last year’s Super Bowl partici-

ble deep in Cleveland territory in the third quarter of a 9-6 game.

The Browns turned that miscue into a touchdown and added another late TD after rookie quarterback Derek Carr lost a fumble deep in his own territory.

“I feel at times it’s Oakland beating Oakland at the wrong times,” receiver Andre Holmes said.

“Whether it’s converting third downs or turning the ball over, those types of things are happening and we just have to put it all together.”

The Raiders solved a couple of problems against the Browns. They held Cleveland to 2 for 12 on third-

down conversions after allowing a league worst 52.9 percent conversion rate the first six games and Oakland allowed just 39 yards rushing on 25 carries.

But the turnovers and a lack of commitment to the running game did in Oakland in its latest loss.

“It’s about consistency,” center Stefen Wisniewski said. “You got to be consistent. We fixed the thirddown problem, but now we’ve got a turnover problem. You can’t have new problems every week. We’ve got to be consistent. You can’t win in this league if you’re not consistently doing well in all areas.”

Fed will likely signal no rate hike anytime soon

B4 Tuesday, October 28, 2014

WASHINGTON (AP) — The global economy has slumped. Turmoil has gripped financial markets.

And the U.S. job market, despite steady gains, still isn’t fully healthy.

Yet when the Federal Reserve meets this week, few foresee any major policy changes. The Fed is expected to complete a bond-buying program, which was intended to keep long-term interest rates low. And, to support the economy, it will likely reiterate it’s in no rush to raise its key short-term rate.

The economy the Fed will discuss has been strengthening, thanks to solid consumer and business spending, manufacturing growth and a surge in hiring that’s lowered the unemployment rate to a six-year low of 5.9 percent.

Still, global weakness poses a potential threat to U.S. growth. The housing industry is still struggling.

And Fed Chair Janet Yellen has stressed that while the unemployment rate is close to a historically normal level, other gauges of the job market remain a concern. These include stagnant pay; many part-time workers who can’t find fulltime jobs; and a historically high number of people who have given up looking for a job and are no longer

What’s more, inflation remains so low it isn’t even reaching the Fed’s long-term target rate of 2 percent. When inflation is excessively low, people sometimes delay purchases — a trend that slows consumer spending, the economy’s main fuel. The low short-term rates the Fed has engineered are intended, in part, to lift inflation.

Stocks have since regained most of their lost ground. Yet the concerns about deflation and a weaker Europe have made clear that the central bank is increasingly looking beyond the United States.

“The global economy is very soft, and Europe is on the verge of relapsing into recession.”

Partly because of those threats, most economists think the Fed will maintain its “considerable time” language. If, on the other hand, it dropped that phrase, the Fed would likely seek to reassure markets that the timing of any rate increase would depend on strengthening economic data.

The Fed has pared its bond purchases from an initial $85 billion a month last year to $15 billion, and in September it said it expected to end them altogether after the October meeting. Even when it does, the Fed will be left with a record investment portfolio of nearly $4.5 trillion, which will still exert downward force on longterm rates.

In September, the Fed

voted 8-2 to keep its key short-term rate at a record low and said it expected it to remain there for a “considerable time” after its bond purchases end. Minutes of the meeting showed that officials worried that any adjustment to that phrasing might be misinterpreted as a shift in the Fed’s stance on rates.

A better time for changing the “considerable time” language might be at the Fed’s December meeting.

After that meeting, unlike this week’s session, Yellen will hold a news conference and would be able to explain the Fed’s thinking.

In the meantime, investors will remain on high alert for the first hint that rates are set to move higher.

“Given that the Fed has kept interest rates low for so long and artificially boosted asset prices such as stocks for so long, a period of instability is inevitable and we are seeing that now,” said David Jones, author of a new book on the Fed’s first 100 years.

Most economists have said they think the Fed will start raising rates by mid2015. But the global economic weakness, market turmoil and falling inflation forecasts have led some to suggest that the Fed might now wait longer.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s best friend gave us a very generous gift for our toddler. However, it arrived with the news that the baby he and his girlfriend are expecting may have serious complications, which could result in termination of the pregnancy. Abby, I am also expecting.

I know I should send them a thank-you note, but I don’t want to sound overly cheerful when someone is obviously suffering. Is there a way to appropriately express our thanks in writing while still being sensitive? I want

to show my concern without overstepping my boundaries.

LOST FOR WORDS

DEAR LOST: My advice is to stay on message. Thank the man for his generous gift and say how much it is appreciated. If you wish to express concern for the difficult time they are going through, do so without going into detail. It’s sufficient to say that he and his girlfriend are in your thoughts and prayers.

Make no reference to your own pregnancy because in this communication it’s not relevant.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I work with the public and make small talk all day long. At the end of a busy day, I like to go to a neighborhood restaurant by myself for a quiet dinner. My problem is the owner, “Giovanni.” He’s a very nice man, and he’ll sit down at my table to chat, often for the entire meal. To complicate matters, he speaks limited English

COMICS

and conversation with him is a chore.

I can’t think of a polite way to ask that I be left alone without hurting his feelings and making future visits awkward. Any suggestions?

HUNGRY AND TIRED IN THE EAST

DEAR H AND T: A polite way to do it would be to say, “Giovanni, I like you very much. But I have had a hard day.

All I want to do is sit down, eat my food and stare into space. Please understand.” Unless he is very new to the hospitality business, he should regard that as his cue to back off.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I live with my parents and when my mom does laundry, she always asks me if I want to throw any of my clothes in with hers and vice versa. The problem is, when the cycle is finished, she throws everything into the dryer — even items

that will shrink or wrinkle. I’ve asked her not to do it, but she persists.

Family Circus

Now, I know what you’re going to say: “Do your own laundry.” I have tried. But if Mom hears the wash finish before I do, she goes out and chucks everything into the dryer. Last week she shrank half my socks.

I can’t think of a solution aside from doing my laundry when she is out of the house, which would be difficult because she’s retired.

I’m starting to get frustrated. Any ideas?

FRUSTRATED IN COLUMBUS

DEAR FRUSTRATED:

If your mother is also forgetting other things, it’s possible she may be in the early stages of dementia.

However, if that’s not the case, then your solution is practical — or consider taking your things to a laundromat. It would be less expensive than constantly having to buy new socks.

To avoid this problem, I suggest that wedding gift-givers write out checks to the bride with her maiden name, to the groom, or just opt for cash instead.

Emily T. in Ohio Congratulations on your new marriage! This may cause a hiccup for some. If you want to use your existing account (with your maiden name), inform the financial institution. Some may request documentation, so have a copy of your wedding certificate handy.

New book offers ‘Game of Thrones’ back story

B6 Tuesday, October 28, 2014

NEW YORK (AP) — George R.R. Martin knows all the signs of Boba Fett Syndrome.

Named for the minor “Star Wars” character who fans demanded to know more about, Boba Fett Syndrome is most acute for any book or film series that has reached the level of phenomenon, when minutiae becomes major. For Martin, this has meant not just the usual demands for the next “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novel (don’t ask, he’s still working on it), but constant letters and emails asking for information on everything from dragons to Aegon Targaryen’s war against the Seven Kingdoms.

Martin’s new book, released this week, is “The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones,” 300 pages of back story and original artwork by the some of the world’s top fantasy illustrators. He agreed to the companion volume in 2006 and expected it would take just a couple of years. Naturally, it took longer. He intended to write some brief text to accompany the drawings, but ended up setting down some 300,000 words, more than enough to make his editor’s “head explode.”

“It was bigger than I anticipated,” he said during a recent telephone interview, acknowledging that “The World of Ice & Fire” might have delayed still further the next “Ice and Fire” novel. “I start these things that I think won’t take much time and they grow and grow.”

events spread out over thousands of pages. Like a filmmaker hiring a continuity director, he works with longtime “Ice and Fire” experts Elio M. Garcia, Jr. and Linda Antonsson, who run the fan site www.westeros.org and are credited as coauthors of the new book.

“They displayed, right away, an almost obsessive knowledge of my world. In fact, I had to alter my world because of that obsessive knowledge,” Martin said, noting that they had caught errors in his work.

AP Photo In this March 18, 2013, file photo, author George R.R. Martin arrives at the premiere for the third season of the HBO television series "Game of Thrones" at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. "The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones," a companion volume to Martin's "Ice and Fire" series, will be released today.

Martin said “The World of Ice & Fire” offers material already in the “Ice and Fire” series, material he has long worked out in his mind and on paper, but had never released, and material he invented entirely for the book, such as the section dedicated to lands on the other side of the Narrow Sea. (Fans of Tyrion Lannister, be advised: Martin includes little about the character he has called his favorite. He’s saving that for future books).

Time spent working on “The World of Ice & Fire” also means time spent on publicity, and on Sunday the resident of

Santa Fe came to New York and appeared before hundreds of fans at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y. Dressed all in black — black corduroys, black shirt, and black vest set off by his white hair and beard — he was interviewed on stage by Salon.com critic Laura Miller and responded to written questions from the audience.

Martin, 66, has completed five of seven planned novels: The most recent, “A Dance With Dragons,” came out in 2011, the same year the Emmy-winning HBO adaptation “Game of Thrones” first aired.

Martin said Sunday that one challenge is keeping track of so many characters and

A native of Bayonne, New Jersey, Martin loved comic books and writing as a kid and by high school had won an award for a superhero story. He has been publishing books since the 1970s and began his “Ice and Fire” series in the 1990s, intending to write a trilogy.

During his telephone interview, Martin said some of his fondest early memories were of reading illustrated versions of “Treasure Island” and other classics and that he wanted “The World of Ice & Fire” to have a similar appeal. He admires the Kindle, but prefers reading on paper and thinks the new book is especially suited for its hardcover edition.

“My feeling was ‘Let’s make it a coffee table book and let’s fill it with some great fantasy art by some of the top illustrators in the fantasy world,”’ he said. “We’re at a time in publishing history where you can have you stories in many different ways.

But I’m still an old fart. I love a physical book.”
