Cadets involved in NMMI attack no longer enrolled

BY JEFF TUCKER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Three recent cadets at New Mexico Military Institute implicated or involved in a ninja-style attack on the campus last month are no longer on the roster of cadets.

Ejiroghene Sipho Michael Adjekuko, 19, of Atlanta, and Chance Butler, 16, of Pampa, Texas, were not on a roster of NMMI cadets provided to the Daily Record Thursday.

The victim of the Nov. 19

assault, a 16-year-old boy from Alabama, also was not among the current roster of cadets.

Both Butler and the victim first enrolled at NMMI in the 2014-15 school year, according to the Institute’s registrar office.

It remains unclear if Butler or Adjekuko were expelled.

NMMI Chief of Staff Col. David West has declined to disclose if Adjekuko and Butler were expelled, citing student confidentiality.

At a Nov. 24 detention hearing, District Judge Steven Bell released Butler to his mother’s custody in Pampa, with conditions.

Butler is charged with aggravated assault (disguised) and battery for his alleged role in the Nov. 19 assault of another cadet.

Butler has denied the charges in court.

Butler is scheduled to stand trial Feb. 17 before a jury in 5th Judicial District Court, Children’s Court Division, in Roswell.

“One thing that I noticed was that there were so many people of different ages. I was surprised by the amount of different age groups on campus. I might have started my college education early in life, but seeing people who were older taking classes definitely showed me that it is never too late to get an education or further your education,” Juarez said in her speech.

The felony charge has a maximum possible penalty of 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Adjekuko was booked at the Chaves County Detention Center after his arrest.

Adjekuko appeared via video conference Nov. 21 before Chaves County Mag-

istrate Judge Daniel Reyes Jr. He did not enter a plea.

Adjekuko said he has no family ties to Roswell and was released on $1,500 bond. He was referred to the Public Defender’s Office after he told the judge he could not afford to hire his own lawyer.

Adjekuko is scheduled to appear for his preliminary examination Jan. 7 before Magistrate Judge K.C. Rogers.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Recovery efforts stemming from a radiation leak at the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository could get a $100 million boost in federal funding under a budget measure pending in Congress.

The U.S. Senate was expected to vote on the $1.1 trillion appropriations bill Friday, a day after it narrowly passed the House.

The measure also calls for cutting $40 million for cleanup of long-ter m radioactive and hazardous waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The

lab was on track to meet a major milestone this year for packing up and shipping tons of Cold War-era waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, before one of its containers ruptured and forced the indefinite closure of the repository.

The lab was pressured by Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration to remove thousands of barrels of waste from outdoor storage by the summer.

Like low gas prices? So does the station owner Falling oil prices raise concerns for states NEW YORK (AP) — So you think you are finally getting one over on the gas stations as you pay well under $3 a gallon for the first time in four years?

Guess again.

Gas stations love low prices too — and not just because customers are nicer when they are paying less.

“We’re in the same shoes as the consumer, the cost of fuel is less for us,” says Kevin Beyer, who owns Performance Fuels, a filling station and convenience store in Smithtown, NY. That means profits for Beyer and the nation’s 127,000 filling stations are rising.

Before they sell gas to you, station owners buy gas on the wholesale market. When the wholesale price of gasoline falls quickly the difference between the cost of wholesale gasoline (including taxes) and the price at the pump gets wider, boosting profits for stations. The steeper the drop, the better.

“It’s completely antithetical to what people believe,” says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.

That difference has stretched to 21.7 cents per gallon this year, the highest ever, according to an OPIS analysis of 16,000 U.S. stations. That compares to an average of 17.1 cents over the last five

Low gas prices are shown at a RaceTrac gasoline station, Thursday, in Hialeah, Fla. Motorists are now seeing prices under $3 a gallon for the first time in four years, which also means that gas stations are paying less for the fuel, too.

years. On a percentage basis, station profitability is at its highest since 2005. And profits on diesel sales are even higher.

“They are off the charts,” Kloza says.

Yes, that means you could be paying even less for gasoline than you are.

But before you cry foul, you should know that after all the ups and downs in a year, gas stations do not make much money from selling gasoline. After credit card fees and other operating costs, net profit for gasoline sales averages 3 cents a gallon, according the National Association of Convenience Stores.

When gas prices soar, and drivers think they’re

being gouged, stations are barely scraping by or even losing money. When the wholesale price is soaring, like it did in 2008, 2011 and 2012, station owners can’t increase the price at the pump as fast as their costs are going up or they risk losing customers to competitors.

When the wholesale price is going down, like now, there isn’t the same pressure to lower the price.

Drivers are so happy to see lower prices they don’t search all over town for the lowest one. And then when they put gas in the tank, they fill ‘er up instead of just putting in a few dollars’ worth.

And drivers have some money left over to spend on what’s really profitable for station owners: The drinks and snacks inside.

“As the pricing goes down, I don’t see people shopping (for the cheapest price) as much as they do when it’s going up,” says Beyer. “They are still feeling a relief at the pump.”

As a result, he adds, “People are more friendly.”

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 78 days in a row to $2.60 a gallon. That’s 65 cents less than last year at this time and $1.10 below its peak for this year of $3.70, reached in April.

Lawsuit blames suicide on solitary confinement ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A federal lawsuit says solitary confinement conditions in one New Mexico county were so inhumane that they drove a woman arrested and charged with domestic battery to commit suicide.

According to the lawsuit filed last week in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque, Sandoval County authorities kept Raynbow Gignilliat, 39, of Atlanta, in solitary confinement for weeks without proper treatment for her bipolar disorder following her October 2013 arrest.

Gignilliat, who had moved in with her mother in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, was charged with domestic battery and criminal damage to property following a dispute at the home. Gignilliat’s mother wanted her taken to a mental hospital, but

Sandoval County authorities booked her into jail and placed her in solitary confinement after concluding she was suf fering from mental illness, the lawsuit said.

Authorities kept her isolated even after witnessing signs that she needed treatment, including “stripping naked, smearing feces and urine on herself and her solitary cell, hallucinating and screaming for hours during the day and night,” court documents said.

The lawsuit also said authorities punished Gignilliat by turning off the water to her cell so she couldn’t bathe or flush the toilet and that they used pepper spray to calm her down.

Sandoval County Attor ney Patrick Trujillo referred all questions to Sandoval County

LOTTERY NUMBERS

spokesman Sidney Hill.

Hill said he couldn’t comment on pending litigation.

Prosecutors dropped all charges against Gignilliat in March. The lawsuit said she wasn’t able to recover from how she was treated in isolation and committed suicide in June.

The family is seeking an unspecified amount in damages and legal fees.

The lawsuit comes as some New Mexico lawmakers are seeking to change how law enforcement agencies deal with mentally ill suspects.

New Mexico is one of five states without a law allowing judges to require that mental health outpatients take medications, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center, a nonprofit that tracks such matters.

U.S. crude oil prices that topped $100 per barrel this summer have plunged to barely $60 this week, the result of high supplies globally and expanded domestic production. Some analysts expect prices to remain around that level, or dip further, throughout 2015.

For many U.S. residents, lower oil prices translate to lower gasoline prices or lower winter heating costs.

That can free up cash for consumers to spend on other things, potentially generating sales tax revenues for states.

“Quite frankly, it bodes well for consumers. It probably isn’t terrific for Texas or Oklahoma (oil) investors or North Dakota investors,” said Tom Kloza, the chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “But we’re not quite sure where the point of extreme pain is.”

New Mexico, which relies heavily on energy taxes and royalties, recently cut its projected revenue growth in half for the upcoming budget. That could send of ficials in Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration scrambling to revise their spending requests before the Legislature convenes in January. But there are no plans for tax increases, said Tom Clifford, head of the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration.

US RIG COUNT DOWN 27 TO 1,893

HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. fell by 27 this week to 1,893.

The Houston firm said Friday in its weekly report 1,546 rigs were exploring for oil and 346 for gas. One was listed as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,782 active rigs.

Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, California, Kansas, Ohio and West Virginia each gained two rigs and New Mexico gained one.

Texas lost 24 rigs, Arkansas lost three, Colorado lost two and Alaska, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wyoming each lost one.

Oklahoma and Utah were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.

Roswell Daily Record

Plummeting oil prices may add a little jingle in the pockets of holiday shoppers and travelers but are raising financial worries in some states that had been tapping into surging oil tax revenues to pay for roads and other government services.

With oil prices now around a five-year low, budget officials in about a half-dozen states already have begun paring back projections for a continued gusher of revenues. Spending cuts have started in some places, and more could be necessary if oil prices stay at lower levels.

How well the oil-rich states survive the downtur n may hinge on how much they saved during the good times, and how much they depend on oil revenues. Some states, such as Texas, have diversified their economies since oil prices crashed in the mid-1980s. Others, such as Alaska, remain heavily dependent on oil and will have to tap into sizeable savings to get by.

“I think we’ll be able to weather these depressed prices for six to eight months,” said Oklahoma Finance Secretary Preston Doerflinger, whose state is among several where concer ns are growing. But “there’s no question at some point, if they remain depressed, they begin to have an impact on the budget.”

“Daddy’s Little Angel” Victoria Velasquez

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

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

We wish you a Happy Birthday in Heaven.

records, Adjekuko and Butler conspired to beat up the 16-year-old cadet because the victim had told on them for smoking marijuana.

Butler admitted donning a black ninjastyle mask and dark sweatpants before ambushing the victim at the victim’s dorm room the night of Nov. 19, court records state.

Authorities allege Adjekuko, who signed a scholarship in late-February to attend NMMI, asked Butler to commit the assault because Butler and the victim are both minors, whereas Adjekuko is 19.

“Cadet Butler advised that Cadet Adjekuko knew what he, Butler, was planning to do and that Cadet Adjekuko wanted him, Butler, to do it because he, Butler, was a minor like (the victim),” Capt.

Charles Yslas of NMMI’s police department wrote in his incident report.

Yslas stated Butler implicated Adjekuko, and Adjekuko and Butler confessed their guilt.

“Cadet Butler advised that he put on a black ninja-style mask and proceeded to (the victim’s) room,” Yslas wrote. “Cadet Butler advised that upon (the victim) opening the door, he stepped around the wall area and pushed (the victim) back and began striking him with closed fists.”

Yslas stated Adjekuko admitted schem-

In March, pharmacists in New Mexico became the first in the United States certified to prescribe Narcan (naloxone), which prevents or reverses the effects of overdose by opioids — and death by opioids overdose is a statistic in which New Mexico and Chaves County lead the country.

drug overdose. In 2009 New Mexico had the highest drug overdose fatality rate in the nation.

The change in national ranking was largely due to a reduction in fatalities involving prescription opioids. This reduction in deaths was largely due to a reduction in opioid prescribing in New Mexico, according to the news release.

“Gov. Martinez has been working to fight drug abuse and its impact since day one,” said New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Retta Ward. “We are continuing to see progress in reducing preventable overdose deaths, and will continue to work with our many community and statewide partners to continue these efforts.”

New Mexico is becoming a national leader in monitoring prescription drugs to help reduce “doctor shopping” by drug-seeking patients and inappropriate prescribing by medical providers, according to the release.

went, and now hazardous waste cleanup efforts at Los Alamos and other U.S. Department of Energy facilities across the country are stalled thanks to WIPP’s closure.

The New Mexico Environment Department said Friday it was disappointed with the latest budget proposal, saying previous cuts have weakened the lab over time and have kept environmental cleanup projects from moving more quickly.

“Another significant budget cut to LANL cleanup activities shows a lack of commitment on behalf of the federal government to protecting the safety of LANL workers and the people of New Mexico, and will almost certainly subject the federal government to additional liability in the future as LANL continues to miss deadlines for completing legally obligated projects,” Jim Winchester,

“Cadet Adjekuko finally admitted that he, Adjekuko, had provided the plan to text (the victim) to tell him to meet him, Adjekuko, in the bathroom, where Butler would be waiting to assault him,” Yslas wrote. “Cadet Adjekuko advised that Mr. Butler stated that he didn’t want to use that plan and that he, Butler, was just going to go to (the victim’s) room and assault him there.”

Yslas said the victim suffered several injuries to his face, consistent with being battered or struck. “(The victim) advised that he fell to the ground as the assailant continued striking him in the face, shoulders and back area,” Yslas wrote. “The victim stated that he believed it was retaliation for him telling on them for smoking marijuana.”

Another cadet who was reported to NMMI administrators for smoking marijuana with Adjekuko and Butler is mentioned in Yslas’ police report, although no known charges have been filed against the other cadet.

The name of the other cadet remains unknown, so it remains unclear if the other cadet is enrolled at NMMI. Staff Writer Jeff Tucker may be contacted at 575-622-7710, ext. 303, or at reporter01@rdrnews.com.

In 2012, Martinez and her administration developed guidelines for mandatory participation in PMP, which helps health care providers and authorities share information to reduce drug diversion and abuse.

“Thanks to Gov. Martinez, the Prescription Monitoring Program has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, processing more than 100,000 requests each month compared to only 4,000 requests monthly in 2011,” said New Mexico PMP Director Carl Flansbaum.

Providers, pharmacists and other health care professionals, as well as law enforcement, register for the service on a continual basis, Flansbaum said. The program has seen almost 2000 new users approved for access this year alone.

“We are now able to more ef fectively share data with other states as well, with our users having access to the PMPs of over 20 other states,” Flansbaum said.

a spokesman for the state agency, said in a statement issued Friday.

The proposed cleanup budget of $185 million is more in line with what the lab was receiving for environmental work before the state’s push. With WIPP closed and the cleanup of transuranic waste halted, the funding request was lowered.

Still, watchdog groups voiced concern that cutting Los Alamos’ funding would send the wrong message.

“I would argue that the LANL contractor and WIPP contractor are the ones who need to be penalized and pay the fines,” Don Hancock with the Southwest Infor mation and Research Center told the Albuquerque Journal.

The state last week proposed more than $54 million in fines against the DOE and the contractors over the mishaps that

forced WIPP’s closure.

The DOE has expressed interest in negotiating with the state, and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has said reopening WIPP is a priority.

The budget bill includes the Obama administration’s original funding request of $220 million for WIPP and tacks on another $100 million for remediation work necessitated by the radiation leak.

DOE officials have estimated it could take years and cost more than a halfbillion dollars to reopen the nuclear waste repository.

“Getting the extra money for recovery at WIPP is absolutely critical,” said Jennifer Talhelm, a spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. The senator has said opening the facility is key to getting cleanup back on track at Los Alamos and elsewhere.

Understanding conflicts in the world of freelancing

Jour nalists are quick to go after elected officials who cross the line, so a skeptical public should know that we’re just as quick to go after one of our own.

Sometimes too quick.

In writing about the Interstate Stream Commission’s decision on the Gila River, I ran across a scuffle in which one newshound accuses another of conflict of interest. This is not just a family squabble. Because a lot of work gets farmed out to contractors, consultants and freelancers, it’s worth a look.

Mary Alice Murphy was a reporter for the Silver City Daily Press. She retired in late 2007 but continued with the paper as a freelancer. In September 2008 an Arizona Water Settlement Act committee asked her to create a website, take minutes and post agendas. The newspaper reported this on its front page. She was paid alternately by the county, the ISC or the Gila Conservation

Coalition, and at times did the work gratis.

In September 2010, Murphy stopped freelancing for the Daily Press. By then, her independent website, The Grant County Beat (grantcountybeat.com), was operating. It’s a great community resource, but she works on the side to support it.

In 2013, the ISC asked Murphy to take notes and write minutes; she used the same information on her website, posted in blog format. The ISC gig ended early last month. Afterward, she wrote an opinion piece on her website in support of using the water, which

sparked angry reactions from opponents, followed by a furor over her paid work with the ISC. “I never hid it from anybody,”she told me. “This is a small town. Everyone knew.”

Well, not everyone, it turns out.

Just before the ISC made its controversial decision to tell the federal government New Mexico wanted to use its share of the 2004 water settlement, Murphy got a call from Philip Connors, who asked her a lot of pointed questions about her ISC work. In the Daily Press, he wrote that Murphy was paid more than $4,000 in the past 16 months.

“This is a peculiar expenditure by a government agency, to say the least,” Connors wrote.

“Instead of paying a supposedly independent journalist to be what amounts to a court stenographer, why not buy a $50 audio recorder at Radio Shack?”

I can answer that question from experience: Recordings

aren’t reliable. Speakers forget to identify themselves. They mumble and ramble. Attendees cough and have side conversations. Organizations need a reliable human recorder.

Connors then took Murphy to task for not disclosing her relationship to the ISC with each story and editorial. “As a product of a journalism education that emphasized ethics and independence, I find her acceptance of the money distasteful at best. She covered the ISC first at the Daily Press and then the Grant County Beat — while accepting money from the ISC.” He also accused the ISC of motives beyond meeting minutes, “neutering critics and paying to hear what it wants to hear.”Working up a lather, Connors trashes the process and saves a blow for “a simpering and toothless press corps.”

The Daily Press first said Murphy’s freelance Gila River stories

occurred while she was being paid by the ISC and then said Murphy didn’t write for the newspaper while being paid by the ISC. What happened here?

One challenge of the selfemployed is keeping your clients and conflicts sorted out. Murphy should have disclosed her ISC work during the period of payment. However, the outlet is her website, and she can say what she wants. She lacks a journalism degree but works hard to write accurate, balanced stories and understands conflicts of interest.

Connors didn’t disclose upfront to Murphy that he was working on a story, he rushed to judgment without checking his facts, and he published unfounded accusations.

I know which one I’d trust.

Faith and freedom

Can the government allow one religious group to put up a display on government property and deny another group the same opportunity?

The answer, in Florida at least, appears to be no.

The Florida Department of Management Services has approved several holiday displays. The approved list includes two scenes from religious groups that depict the birth of Jesus Christ, a display from the “church of the flying spaghetti monster”(the church is the creation of people who are opposed to creationism being taught in schools), and a display from a Satanic Temple which includes the phrase “Happy holidays from the Satanic Temple” atop a diorama of an angel falling into hell.

Other displays include a 6-foot stack of empty beer cans that is meant to mark Seinfeld’s Festivus (a festival “for the rest of us,”) and one from a group of atheists.

We think it important to note that the capital was not always a hot bed of religious, secular and spaghetti monster symbolism. For years a simple Hanukkah menorah and a Christmas tree were displayed. Last year, a Christian group placed a nativity scene in the rotunda. That action seems to have created the religious version of a nuclear arms race as several other groups, including the Satanists, petitioned to spread their holiday greetings on government property.

Florida officials rejected the satanic display last year as offensive but relented this year when the devil worshippers returned with an attorney.

“We hope that, this holiday season, everybody can put their religious differences aside and respect that the celebratory spirit of responsible hedonism is available to all,” Lucien Greaves said, according to a news report.

Pam Olsen, of the Florida Prayer Network, is putting up one of the nativity scenes.

“You know what? It doesn’t shake God, and it doesn’t shake me, and it doesn’t shake the people that are here to say that the nativity and Jesus Christ and Christ in Christmas mean so much to all of us,” she reportedly said of the satanic display.

We doubt the founding fathers of this nation ever envisioned that Satanists, atheists and pastafarians would spread their messages on government property. Also, we doubt the sincerity of some of these groups who seemingly are choosing to be controversial and trying to poke at people with whom they disagree.

In other words, there is a perfectly valid reason why a Christian group would want to display a nativity scene during December. Some others aren’t celebrating anything except their ability to annoy.

Chaz Stevens, the sponsor of the Festivus pole, said as much to the media.

“A Pabst Blue Ribbon Festivus Pole is an utterly ridiculous statement used to speak out about another utterly ridiculous thing which is the government allowing religious symbols on public property,” he said.

Stevens is correct in that the Christian groups opened this door by choosing a government building — instead of a church or private property — to display the nativity scene.

The language of the First Amendment is clear. Our founders did not want state or federal authorities to endorse any religion over another or to prevent people from sharing their views.

Christians, especially those who support missionaries in other countries, know all too well what happens in some places where the government chooses sides. In those countries sharing an outlawed message can lead to persecution, prison and even execution.

The price of true free speech is giving everyone — even those with radical views — the ability to enlighten and offend.

Tourism a matter of economics, pride Since moving to New Mexico a decade ago, I’ve had a lot of family and friends come out for a visit, and they’re often quite curious about this land and its people.

On such occasions, I like to play tour guide, taking my visitors around to see various historic and cultural sites, all while bending their ears with what I’ve lear ned over the years about my adopted state and its citizenry.

My visitors are often impressed with the many unique features — both geographic and cultural — this state has to offer. A few times people have used my home as a base for them to explore the area more thoroughly.

I guess that’s my contribution to the state’s tourism industry, which is big business in New Mexico. In fact, in some small towns, it’s just about the only business remaining. All over the state, tourism generates a consider-

able amount of economic activity, and it’s been growing.

According to the state Tourism Department, tourism itself is a $6 billion industry in New Mexico, creating 88,600 jobs statewide, including 4,900 new jobs over the past five years. And, for state and local government coffers, it generates more than $600 million a year in tax revenues.

Monique Jacobson has been New Mexico’s secretary of tourism since 2011. In an interview last week, she told me the state’s recent marketing campaign to attract tourists to the state is getting

a 3-to-1 return on investment.

With an $8.6 million advertising budget, the state has been marketing itself in Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, Chicago, San Diego, New York and Denver — with plans to go into the San Francisco market next year.

A Taos native who graduated from Sandia Prep in Albuquerque, Jacobson has plenty of real-world marketing experience, as a senior marketing manager for PepsiCo for several years, and it shows in her work for the state. The Tourism Department she now runs has moved from a provider of services to the industry to “tourism generating department,” she said, “… and the way you’re going to generate tourism is by advertising.”

“Adventure steeped in culture” has become the theme for all this advertising, for reasons that Jacobson was happy to explain.

“If you just talk about adventure by itself, it becomes generic. Many, many states talk about adventure. … But what we’ve found is that if you wrap that in culture, so that it’s an adventure but it’s steeped in culture, everything that’s around you while you’re having that adventure, that’s a unique point of difference for New Mexico, and it becomes a compelling area where we can win.”

Plus, with the New Mexico T rue campaign, an even greater sense of pride is growing among New Mexicans, she said. The campaign, which tells true stories about real New Mexicans, is reassuring people “that they have something to be proud of,” Jacobson said. “(I’ve had) people come up to me, in tears, saying, ‘Thank you for reminding me of what I love about New Mexico. Thank you for talking

that on average, probiotics speeded up “gut transit time”by 12.4 hours. They increased the number of weekly bowel movements by 1.3. And they helped soften stools, making them easier to pass.

There’s not enough evidence yet to recommend a specific probiotic for constipation. Until there is, experimenting on your own is probably a safe bet. Probiotics don’t seem to have any side ef fects, and they ar e generally considered safe.

Fermented or cultured dairy products are a good source of probiotics. These include yogurt and buttermilk. Other sources include miso, tempeh and soy beverages. The bacteria occur naturally in some of these foods. In other products, they are added during

preparation. You can also consult with a registered dietitian who is familiar with probiotics.

Probiotics are also available as dietary supplements.

Yo u c a n f i n d a v a r i e t y o f them on drugstore and supermarket shelves. Let your doctor know if you are using probiotics.

Whether or not you decide to try probiotics, eating more insoluble fiber should help your constipation. Insoluble fiber is found in the skin, peels and husks of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

It passes through your digestive tract without breaking down, creating “bulk”for your stools.

There also are various powders containing fiber available over-the-counter at

Probiotics appear to be effective in relieving constipation

DEAR DOCTOR K: I suffer from constipation. Do you think probiotics might help?

DEAR READER: Probiotics are living bacteria found in cultured foods, like yogurt, and in dietary supplements. They have long been touted for their ability to ease digestive woes.

The strongest evidence for probiotics is in treating diarrhea caused by a viral infection or from taking antibiotics. Our bodies are home to a mix of “good”and “bad”bacteria. Both infections and antibiotics disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in your gut. Probiotics can help r estor e this balance.

But the opposite problem — constipation — is more common than diarrhea. Yet many over -the-counter remedies for constipation,

ASK DR. K UNITED MEDIA SYNDICATE

such as laxatives and stool softeners, aren’t all that helpful.

Researchers set out to deter mine whether pr obiotics work against constipation. They analyzed 14 studies that met their criteria for a well-done study. All were clinical trials that randomly assigned people with constipation to take either probiotics or a placebo (or other control treatments).

I asked Jacobson where the tourism hotspots are in New Mexico. She said they’re all over. She told me that Albuquerque and Santa Fe generate the most tourism dollars, while in northern New Mexico, tourism dollars make up the largest percentage of

the overall economy.

Southern New Mexico, she said, is where the greatest growth in tourism is occurring.

I also asked her what she’d like to say to New Mexico’s small towns that want to get their share of the tourism dollars. “Put yourself in the mind of the traveler,â€? she said. “Think about what makes your community unique ‌ unique from their day-today experiences.â€?

Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice (Jn. 18:37)

Pop culture echoes Pilate's reply, "What is truth?" (Jn. 18:38), as though it eternally escapes man like a thief. "We cannot know anything with certainty," they say. But are they certain? "Truth is relative and subjective, not absolute and universal," they add. But is that absolutely true? Is that true for everyone? See, even Pilate and pop culture make absolute, universal truth claims while questioning the reality of absolute, universal truth claims. At the end of the day a person can say they don't believe in gravity, but a fixed reality outside of themselves keeps them from floating away while they say it. The truth is truth exists and truth matters.

Naturally, this also applies to spiritual things- things about life and death, good and evil, sin and forgiveness, heaven and hell. It matters if what we believe is the way it really is, or not. Much is at stake. Jesus said the truth will set men free (Jn. 8:32).

He stated that God's word is truth (Jn. 17:17). And his church, "the church of the living God," is "a pillar and buttress of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). Nevertheless, many "refuse to love the truth and so be saved" (2 Thess. 2:10). "What is truth?" Truth is absolute (not relative), objective (not subjective), universal (not societal), and unlike an ever evasive thief, truth is obtainable. "What is truth?" Pilate replied, while staring him in the face. For Jesus elsewhere declared, "I am . . . the truth" (Jn. 14:6). Truth is a person. Do you hear him?

WAYMAKER

However you stuff it, a roulade makes a merry meal (575) 627-1145

Think of a roulade as a big edible cigar -shaped container for just about any filling of your choice.

Almost like an edible Christmas present!

Even the roll itself is versatile and can be made from any number of ingredients. Savory roulades — the term means "to roll" in French — can be made from beef, chicken or turkey. Sweet roulades — such as American jelly rolls and French buche de Noel — can be made from cake.

The latter, a yule log frosted with chocolate bark, is reserved for Christmas.

And that’s how I think of this egg roulade, which wraps a souffle-like sheet of baked egg around a savory filling of prosciutto, spinach and cheese. It’s special for breakfast for Christmas morning, a way of making a spongy and elegant omelet for eight

people. It’s delicious and practical. Not only does one recipe feed a crowd (rather than making separate omelets), it also can be partly prepped ahead of time.

Egg roulade stuffed with prosciutto, spinach and roasted red pepper

Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 8 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus extra 1 1/4 cups whole milk, warmed 4 large egg yolks, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 6 large egg whites, room temperature

Pinch of cream of tartar 2 tablespoons olive oil 10 ounces baby spinach 1 teaspoon minced garlic 8 ounces coarsely grated fontina or Gruyere cheese (about 2 cups) 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto 3/4 cup roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips Heat the oven to 350 F. Use a bit of butter to lightly coat a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with kitchen parchment, leaving about 1 inch hanging over each of the pan’s shorter sides, then lightly butter the parchment. Sprinkle the parchment with a bit of flour, then tilt the pan and tap gently to spread the flour and discard any excess.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 5 tablespoons of butter. Add

202 S. Sunset, 627-9190;

W.S. 10 a.m.; Wed Service 7 p.m.

the 6 tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking the entire time.

Tur n down to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time.

Stir in the salt and pepper.

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until they for m soft peaks. Stir a quarter of the whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the rest, gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and carefully smooth with a metal spatula.

Bake on the oven’s middle shelf, rotating the pan after 7 minutes. Bake for another 7 to 8 minutes, or

until golden and firm to the touch. Set the pan on a rack to cool slightly.

Increase the oven to 375 F. While the roulade is baking, in a large skillet over high, heat the oil. Add half of the spinach and cook, stirring, until it starts to wilt, then add the remaining spinach and cook until all the spinach has wilted.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Transfer the mixture to a colander to drain, pressing lightly on the spinach to drain any excess liquid.

Season with salt and pepper.

Use a bit of butter to lightly coat one side of a sheet of kitchen parchment cut to the same size as the egg sponge. Place the parchment, buttered side down, onto the top of the sponge. Cover with a damp kitchen towel, then careful-

ly invert the sponge onto a work surface. Peel off the parchment from the top of the sponge.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sponge, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top the cheese with the prosciutto in an even layer, followed by the spinach. Arrange the red pepper strips in one line down the center (starting and ending at the short sides).

Starting with one of the longer sides, use the towel to help roll up the sponge, enclosing the filling, jelly roll-fashion. Carefully pick up the roulade and place it seam side down on the baking sheet. Bake it in the middle of the oven until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a serrated knife to cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.

STUDIO HEAD, PRODUCER APOLOGIZE FOR JOLIE, OBAMA REMARKS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oscar -winning producer Scott Rudin apologized Thursday for calling Angelina Jolie a “spoiled brat” and making racially offensive jokes about President Obama’s presumed taste in movies.

The comments were made in a series of leaked email exchanges between Rudin and Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal, who also apologized Thursday. It was yet another embarrassment in the ongoing Sony hacking scandal, in which high-

ly sensitive material is being leaked almost daily.

“Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended,” Rudin said in a statement to industry site Deadline after the Obama remarks surfaced.

“I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insen-

sitive — and not funny at all. To anybody I’ve offended, I’m profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused.”

In a statement released

by Sony, Pascal called her comments “insensitive and inappropriate” and “not an accurate reflection of who I am.” She said that although the emails were

Adrian Peterson's appeal denied, suspension upheld Saturday, December 13, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL’s hard line on Adrian Peterson held up.

The league-appointed arbitrator for Peterson’s appeal affirmed the unpaid suspension until at least next spring, the final result of the child-abuse case that kept the Minnesota running back out of all but one game this season and widened the rift between the NFL and its players over the fairness of the disciplinary process.

The decision by Harold Henderson, a former league official, was announced Friday.

That means Peterson, though he avoided jail time and a felony conviction, has been fined more than $4.1 million as part of the punishment from the NFL. That’s the cost of the sixgame suspension that was issued Nov. 18 under the league’s personal conduct policy. He will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15.

The NFL Players Association called Henderson’s objectivity into question and said it was “considering immediate legal remedies” to the decision.

“The NFLPA expected this outcome, given the hearing officer’s relationship and financial ties to the NFL,” the union said in a statement. “The decision itself ignores the facts, the evidence and the collective

bargaining agreement. This decision also represents the NFL’s repeated failure to adhere to due process and confirms its inconsistent treatment of players.”

Responding to earlier union criticism of Henderson, the NFL said that was unwarranted, pointing to his current post as president of the NFL Player Care Foundation, which is funded jointly by the union and the league. This was the 88th appeal Henderson has heard.

Henderson’s announcement was a decisive victory for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whose authority was overruled last month by the arbitrator in the case of former Baltimore running back Ray Rice. Former U.S. District Judge Barbara Jones said Goodell acted arbitrarily with an “abuse of discretion” by extending of a two-game suspension for Rice into an indefinite ban when video surfaced of Rice punching the woman who’s now his wife. Rice was reinstated, but he had no team to return to because the Ravens released him a week into the season.

The union’s grievance for Peterson was similar, arguing essentially that Goodell was making up protocol for discipline as he went along.

But Henderson forcefully wrote that he saw no

After Rice’s case emerged, Goodell announced in August a stiffer penalty for players involved with domestic violence. The union argued that Peterson, who was charged with felony child abuse in September for use a wooden switch to discipline his 4-

year-old son in May, should be subject to the prior guidelines. Henderson said that argument didn’t matter.

“The Commissioner has broad discretion to impose appropriate discipline for violations of the personal conduct policy, and his recent pronouncements simply reflect his current

thinking on domestic violence and other incidents involving physical force,” Henderson wrote.

The Vikings declined to comment.

Peterson led the NFL in rushing twice, including 2012 when he had 2,097 yards and fell 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season record, but he

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Take out a loan or even a second mortgage, forgo Christmas presents or split a hotel room.

Faced with the possibility of two big postseason trips under the new college football playoff system, some players’ parents are doing all they can to see their kids under the spotlight.

A bowl game trip can cost thousands of dollars.

Although schools are permitted to reimburse families who need it for some costs out of a special assistance fund, some are questioning if it’s time to provide more help now that teams could play in two games in the postseason if they progress to the national championship.

Two games means two hotel rooms, two car trips, two sets of meals on the road. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer brought the issue up right after his team got a playoff berth.

“You know what my biggest thing (is)? What are we going to do with our players’ families?” he said.

“People are all worried about the playoff and who’s going to play who. (But) how is that mom and dad or mom and uncle going to go see their kid play?”

For now, parents of players at Oregon, Florida State, Alabama and Ohio State are rushing to make plans — and split costs.

Cassandra Greene has missed just one of her son’s college games — and that was in 2011. That’s 50 and counting so she can follow senior receiver Rashad Greene, Florida State’s alltime leader in receiving yards and receptions.

A case manager for the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities who is also working on her Master’s degree, Greene said bowl trips typically cost her $700-$800. She already has hotel reservations in California and Texas, thanks to a relative who works in the industry, but the financials are a strain.

“With family support, I’m going,” Cassandra said. “It’s

tough. You’ve got to sit down and make some logical decisions. You have to put some things that you really don’t need and some things that you don’t have to do, you have to put all that in perspective and say I’m going to the game.

“Some things I said I wanted for Christmas or some things that people were going to buy me for Christmas, I was like, ‘Don’t give me gifts. Contribute to me going to California.’ But, it’s worth it.”

The money coming into the conferences and schools involved in the new college playoff system is staggering: $50 million per big-five conference, $6 million for each school in the semifinals, $2 million per team for expenses.

NCAA rules do not currently allow players to be compensated — even though ESPN is reportedly paying $500 million this year to televise the CFP games.

Peterson Continued from Page B1

GB —

Vikings could release him before next season and owe him nothing, taking only a $2.4 million hit on their 2015 salary cap.

The Vikings initially announced Peterson would stay on the active roster after the first game he missed following the indictment, but they reversed course less than two days later following intense public pressure and placed him on the exempt list at Goodell’s approval. That’s like paid leave, which the union argued counted as discipline and therefore contributed to an overreaching punishment. Henderson dismissed that argument, too.

Peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas on Nov. 4 for probation time, community service and a small fine. He acknowledged physically disciplining the boy as he had been as a youth, but he said he meant no harm and was sorry for the trouble he caused.

“I love my son more than any of you can imagine,” he said outside the courthouse that day.

Still, Henderson sided with Goodell in his written reprimand of Peterson’s purported lack of remorse.

“While the discipline assessed is indeed greater than in most prior cases, this is arguably one of the most egregious cases of domestic violence in this Commissioner’s tenure —

the severe beating of a 4year old child, with a tree branch, striking him repeatedly about the body and inflicting injuries visible days later,” Henderson said.

At the crux of the NFLPA’s argument for reinstatement was what NFL executive vice president for football operations T roy Vincent told Peterson last month with the dispute at its height.

The union claimed Vincent told Peterson he would receive a two-game ban if he attended a hearing on Nov. 14 with Goodell. Peterson declined to meet that day with Goodell, citing uncertainty about the NFL’s intent to question him.

Goodell then announced on Nov. 18 the suspension.

A recording and a transcript of what Vincent told Peterson was presented by the NFLPA to Henderson, who oversaw a hearing on Dec. 2. Peterson attended that and listened via telephone as the hearing continued on Dec. 4, when Vincent was questioned.But Henderson concluded Peterson was not retailed against for not going to meet with Goodell.

“Mr. Vincent testified that he never promised a twogame suspension or that the old policy would control, but rather encouraged Mr. Peterson to ‘go through the process and all things will be considered,’” Henderson wrote. “He said, ‘I didn’t promise Adrian anything.

Never promised. Adrian needed to show up. Talk.’”

coaches routinely make between $4 million and $7 million a year and get six-figure bonuses just for getting a team into the playoff, families have few advocates.

Under NCAA guidelines, schools can reimburse families for some travel costs. In the case of Ohio State and other major schools, a player’s family can receive up to $800 for postseason travel. But those guidelines were developed under a one-bowl postseason setup.

“The parents aren’t even allowed to share the experiences that the kids have — which are oncein-a-lifetime experiences,” said Guss Armstead, father of Oregon defensive lineman Arik Armstead.

He said he is fortunate enough to be able to drive to his son’s game. “So there needs to be some way that the parents can get some assistance to get to some of their kid’s games.”

Dec. 13 1937 — Rookie Sammy Baugh throws second-half touchdown passes of 55, 78 and 33 yards to overcome a 14-7 Chicago lead and give the Washington Redskins a 28-21 victory over the Chicago Bears for the NFL championship.

Arlington, Texas, for the national championship game and will split a hotel room to watch DePriest play.

“It’s hard but we’re going to go,” said Angie DePriest, a phlebotomist at Springfield Regional Medical Center. “We haven’t missed a game since he’s been playing.”

The only time they’ve flown to a game was for the BCS championship against Notre Dame in south Florida two years ago. The others, they just hop in a car.

“The expense is a huge challenge but my mother, myself and Trey’s girlfriend split the cost so it makes it a little easier so it’s not just on one person,” she said.

Allowing a few days at the bowl city, a typical roundtrip flight from Gainesville, Florida, to Los Angeles would run between $950 and $1,200, with even distant hotels costing $200 a night with a car needed at around $100 a day. For parents of Ohio State players going to New Orleans, a roundtrip flight, hotels and car would likely cost $2,000 per person per trip.

Ohio State AD Gene Smith says he will push for more help for those needing it to see their sons participate.

“I am on record with the fact we need legislation to allow us to (fund) these trips,” he said.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are teams from warm-weather sites t h at d o ju st fin e in t h e cold, such as the Miami Dolphins, who in admittedly small sample size have gone 4-3 at 32-or below since 2004, a .571 winning percentage that dwarfs their 33-and-above mark of .416. “ If g u ys e xcel in cold weat h er, it h as t o b e something they’ve been coach ed on or th ey ’ve been taught to block it out and say, ‘We’re going to p lay b et t er,’ “ R ed s kin s r eceive r San t a na M oss said. “When coach (Joe) Gibbs was here, he always taught us that ‘Redskins weather’ was bad weather — we t, sogg y, gloom y, cold. And we actually won games that time of year.

Cop shoots man, who gets up, walks away

ESPANOLA — A city police officer shot a man in the thigh Nov. 30, after demanding the man take his hands out of his pockets.

After Officer Michelle Ortega shot Robert Apodaca, 37, in the thigh, he fell to the ground, got up and began to walk away from her, Det. Cpl. Solomon Romero said.

Officer Cody Martinez and Santa Clara Tribal Officer Freddy Trujillo arrived at Calle Cunyo as Apodaca was allegedly walking away.

After she shot him and he fell, Ortega ordered Apodaca to lie back down, but he refused and walked away from her. When Martinez arrived, he too ordered Apodaca to lie on the ground and Apodaca allegedly refused. Martinez shot him with a stun gun and, with the help of Trujillo, handcuffed him, Romero said.

After Apodaca was subdued, he was transported by ambulance to the Española Hospital. The bullet passed through his upper thigh.

Ortega shot him with a Glock .357 caliber pistol, the sidearm issued to officers in the Department, he said.

After he was released from the hospital, Apodaca was arrested on a parole and probation warrant for absconding.

City manager, councilor on trash debt list

ESPANOLA — City Manager Kelly Duran and Councilor Eric Radosevich may find themselves among the hundreds of Rio Arriba County residents struggling to get out from beneath a debtor’s lien for not paying their trash bills.

The North Central Solid Waste Authority unanimously passed an ordinance Nov. 19, to take effect in February, that will allow the Authority to place liens on Duran’s and Radosevich’s properties for their respective $3,866.49 and $1,689.51 debts.

The more than $5,550 combined debt is a portion of the $2 million worth of delinquent trash accounts the Authority hopes to recoup from customers that refused to pay for some reason or another.

Duran said his nearly $4,000 debt represents 10 years worth of trash collection, at a property he sold as a land contract. The first person he contracted to buy the property defaulted and Duran resold the property.

He said the bill is so

Resident saved, but house gutted in fire

expensive because when the new owner went to sign up for the trash, the Authority attached the delinquent account to the new owner’s bill. As with the old owner, the new owner failed to put his address on the bill, so he never received it.

“I assumed the trash bill was being paid,” Duran said.

He said he plans to pay his bill, but it won’t be easy.

“I am willing to settle this account within any means that is appropriate,” Duran said. “I am an average person and I will have to search the mattress for the money that I don’t have.”

Authority Manager Gino Romero said the purpose of the liens is to collect delinquent revenues before the property is bought or sold.

During a Nov. 18 meeting, Española school board members discussed the possibility of changing the district schedule from its surest five-day-per-week schedule to a four-day schedule. They cited a survey conducted by Española Human Resources Director Esther Romero as a point of discussion.

The survey was conducted in April and nearly 2,000 parents responded from the different schools in the district and on the Internet.

According to the results, 771 respondents want a five-day school week. There were 938 respondents who wanted Fridays off and 267 people who wanted Mondays off. In total, 61 percent want to change to a reduced schedule.

Currently, there are more than 3,000 students enrolled in the Española District.

Monthly pub goes through ownership change

SILVER CITY — The Desert Exposure, a beloved, locally owned monthly, has been sold.

In his final “Editor’s Notebook” for the December edition, Editor and Publisher David Fryxell said that it was time to pass DE on so that it could grow as he and his wife and partner head into “semiretirement.”

“We often said that while we admired and respected all that had come before in the publication, we hoped to take it to the next level,” he wrote. “To continue the parenting metaphor, Desert Exposure was ready to grow from childhood to adolescence.”

Now, it seems, other caregivers will attempt to guide the publication into adulthood.

The DE has, pending final closure today, been purchased by OPC News, owner of the Las Cruces Bulletin, which will be taking over operations henceforth.

Richard Coltharp, publisher of the Bulletin, said the initial goal is to continue what the Fryxells have accomplished so far.

“It has been a successful operation for several years,” he said, “so we would like to continue on where they are leaving off. They’ve found a niche for themselves. Arts and leisure is something

SANTA ROSA — Emergency responders rescued a Santa Rosa man who was reluctant to leave his burning home on the evening of Dec. 1, as bright orange flames lit up the night sky and torched a little corner house that police had targeted for suspected drug activity in the past.

Nobody was injured, but the home was considered a total loss, with its roof and rafters badly charred and ceiling beams partially collapsed into rooms that sustained heavy smoke and water damage.

The late-night fire started in the wall adjacent to an overheated wood stove.

Although passers-by reported seeing smoke and flames shooting from the roof, they went to the door and could not convince resident Gene Garcia to leave.

Emergency responders converged on the home.

Before the fire trucks arrived, Santa Rosa Police Lt. Ernesto Pacheco, Assistant Fire Chief Phillip Campos and dispatcher Anthony Salas entered the burning building and saw Garcia sitting on the couch in a room quickly filling with smoke.

“Your roof is on fire. Your roof is on fire. Gotta get out,” Pacheco said he told the man. But he did not want to leave.

“We went in and you could see flames toward the back room,” Salas said.

Salas grabbed the frail resident and carried him outside while Pacheco and Campos quickly went through the rest of the house, making sure nobody else was inside.

Moments later, after everyone was back outside, the ceiling in the front room partially collapsed and a

Roswell Daily Record flaming timber fell from the rooftop across the doorway, witnesses said.

State puts city on notice for piles of tires

SANTA ROSA — Private businesses weren’t the only ones getting sternly worded notices from the New Mexico Environment Department last month.

Following an inspection, the City of Santa Rosa’s garbage transfer station received a notice Nov. 25 outlining violations in the way it was storing scrap metal, so-called “green waste” and an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 scrap tires.

For starters, the items must be moved away from power lines to reduce fire dangers, and in coming weeks the city must begin hauling away accumulated materials, many of them to recycling facilities.

Solid waste supervisor Charles Garcia said the issues should be resolved within a matter of weeks.

Charges against county manager dropped

EDGEWOOD — It took a few years, but Torrance County Manager Joy Ansley has learned that felony charges against her have been dropped by the Attorney General’s office.

The AG’s office filed a nolle prosequi, meaning abandonment of all or part of a lawsuit or action, the day before Thanksgiving, on both the case against Ansley and the case against contractor Chris Valdez, who had faced identical charges.

“It’s a terrible thing to be accused of something you didn’t do,” Ansley said in a statement to The Independent. “These past years have been horrible because of these charges, which were based entirely on gossip.”

Ansley’s attorney, Camille Cordova, also gave a state-

ment: “Joy Ansley was not guilty of these malicious charges — they were based on gossip and this was clearly shown at the preliminary hearing. That’s why the state of New Mexico dismissed these charges, and the Attorney General did the right thing by dismissing this case.”

County Commissioner Leanne Tapia said the charges were politically motivated from the beginning, when then-commissioner Venessa Chavez Gutierrez wrote a letter to state auditor Hector Balderas asking for an investigation on behalf of the commission.

Longtime trustee named city’s new mayor

EDGEWOOD — Estancia has a new mayor, after its board of trustees appointed Sylvia Chavez, currently a trustee and mayor pro tem, to fill out the remaining three years of Ted Helsley’s term. The board acted Dec. 1 to fill the vacancy left after Helsley resigned Nov. 17.

Chavez had previously served as mayor after she was appointed to fill in for Ted Barela, who resigned from the position in 2013.

Before that she had served as a trustee for seven years.

In elections this March, Chavez was again elected, this time to a two-year term on the board of trustees; her appointment as mayor will mean a vacancy on that board.

Chavez said Dec. 2 that she expects trustees will decide in the next month or so whether they want to take on the expense of a special election, or again appoint someone to fill the vacancy. She estimated the cost of a special election at $6,000 to $8,000.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I have a 17-year-old son. He spends half his time with me and the other half with his mom. My question is about his cellphone.

I can use an app on my phone to see the location of his phone. A friend of mine tells me I shouldn’t stalk him or spy on him this way.

She says it shows I don’t trust or respect him. My son knows I can — and do — check on him using the GPS function in the phone, and he can do the same to locate me.

Checking on him from time to time gives me some comfort. I

can’t see who he’s with or what he’s doing, but I can see if he’s where I expect him to be.

What do you think? Am I harming him by checking on him? Or am I “stalking” him, as my friend says?

DAD WHO CARES IN OHIO

DEAR DAD: You and your friend appear to have different parenting styles. As long as your son is aware that you occasionally check his whereabouts, I don’t consider what you’re doing to be either harmful or stalking. As a parent, you have a right to know where your minor child is, and the GPS feature you describe has been known to save lives in the event of an emergency.

#####

DEAR ABBY: I’m a sophomore in high school.

I know this sounds awful, but I hate my father. If anyone disagrees with anything he says, that person is always wrong and he is right. (This includes scientific

COMICS

facts). He is also a bigot who says horribly racist, sexist and homophobic things.

He has made me feel awful about the choices I have made in athletics and academics, and he gets angry at the drop of a hat for little things, like if I haven’t organized the shoes in my closet. He yells and guilt trips my little sister until she cries.

I don’t think I can take three more years of this. I’m uncomfortable anytime I’m around him. I can’t talk to him because it’s his way or the highway, and Mom doesn’t want to make him angry, so she says nothing. What do I do?

DISTRESSED DAUGHTER

DEAR DAUGHTER: Your father appears to be a man with a lot of problems, but you can’t fix them. Because your mother is afraid to speak up, he probably won’t change. She may stay with him because she’s afraid she can’t support herself and you girls on her own. Learn from her

example, and resolve to be economically independent before you marry anyone.

Recognize that your father is the product of the way he was raised. It’s likely he learned to be a bigot and verbal abuser from his own parents. Make up your mind that you will never be that way.

Because you are uncomfortable around your father, spend less time around him if you can. Try to be supportive of your sister, because she needs it and will as long as she lives in that house.

And remember, three more years may seem like forever now, but in the scheme of things, it isn’t. Once you are no longer a minor and have a job, you can arrange to get out of there.

Dear Readers: If you live in a climate where you put away patio and outdoor items for winter, here are a few hints for you: A. Always clean or wipe off items before storing. Check for mildew or other damage, and take care of it now.

B. Store inside, away from weather, if possible. If keeping items outside, cover with furniture covers, tarps or heavy plastic.

C. Cold, wet weather is harmful to most patio furniture, including aluminum, steel, and most woods and natural materials. Synthetic (or “fake,” as I call it) wicker is OK to leave out.

D. Do take the time to clean and prepare outside tables, chairs and umbrellas to store for the winter.

When spring comes, you will be so happy to pull them out of storage.

E. Everyone in the family should help. If they enjoy sitting out, they can help keep the furniture in good shape. Don’t waste good money buying new chairs, etc.

Takeuchi acknowledged Jolie is free to make whatever movie she wants, stressing that Shinto believes in forgive-andforget.

But he urged Jolie to study history, saying executed war criminals were charged with political crimes, not torture.

‘Unbroken’ may be broken in Japan, still divided over war TOKYO (AP) — Angelina Jolie’s new movie “Unbroken” has not been released in Japan yet, but it has already struck a nerve in a country still fighting over its wartime past.

And the buzz on social networks and in online chatter is decidedly negative over the film that depicts a U.S. Olympic runner who endures torture at a Japanese World War II prisoner -of-war camp.

Some people are calling for a boycott of the movie, although there is no release date in Japan yet.

It hits theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 25.

Others want that ban extended to Jolie, the director — unusual in a nation enamored with Hollywood, especially Jolie and her partner

Brad Pitt, who both have reputations as Japanlovers.

The movie follows the real-life story of Louis Zamperini as told in a 2010 book by Laura Hillenbrand. The book has not been translated into Japanese, but online trailers have provoked outrage.

Zamperini, played by Jack O’Connell, survived in a raft for 47 days with two other crewmen after a plane crash, only to be caught by the Japanese and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

Especially provocative is a passage in the book that refers to cannibalism among the troops. It is not clear how much of that will be in the movie, but that is too much for some.

“But there was absolutely no cannibal-

But the release of “Unbroken” comes at a time some in Japan are downplaying the country’s colonization of its Asian neighbors and the aggressive act carried out by the Imperialist Army during World War II.

For example, some politicians dispute the role of Japanese soldiers in the Rape of Nanjing, which began in 1937, in which 300,000 Chinese were killed. They say that is a vast over count.

Similarly, they reject historical studies that show women from several Asian countries, especially Korea, were forced into prostitution by the Japanese military. Some oppose the ter m “sex slave,” which the U.N. uses, preferring the euphemistic “comfort women.”
