Zoning group approves medical marijuana farm

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer After an hour-and-a-half discussion that went beyond 11 p.m. Tuesday, the Roswell-Chaves County Extraterritorial Commission approved a proposed medical marijuana growing facility just south of Roswell.

Commission members Matthew Bristol, Larry Connolly, Mona Kirk and chairman Royce “Pancho” Maples voted for the change of zoning use that was recommended by the Chaves County Planning & Zoning Department.

Commission members Leroy Lang and Harold Hobson voted against it. Commissioner Neil Roe recused himself.

The commission’s approval does not ensure the cannabis growing facility will be built at the site of the former Nature’s Dairy at 5106 S. Main St.,

but it does boost the chances of Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals receiving a license from the New Mexico Department of Health to grow medical marijuana, said Kevin Cheney, a consultant for the pharmaceutical company.

The proposed facility would grow up to 450 marijuana plants indoors, not sell to the public, have discreet signage and tight security, said Jeff McWhorter, the chief financial officer for Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals.

McWhorter said the facility would employ 10 to 15 people and generate an estimated $20 million in its first five years, with $1.5 million to $1.7 million of gross receipt taxes.

Several residents raised moral, biblical, security and aesthetic concerns, but Cheney said hyperbole should not rule the day.

“If we’re going to talk about

morality, I think we have to talk about compassion because that comes first,” Cheney told the commission.

“We can’t let emotional speculation trump hard evidence and I think that’s what we heard tonight.”

The 9,000-square-foot former dairy processing plant is an “ideal match” for an indoor medical marijuana growing facility, said Clinton Greathouse, owner of Nature’s Dairy and CEO of Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals.

Several residents raised various concerns.

“My concerns would be health concerns, as well as moral and ethical concerns,” said Wes Daffren, who lives near the proposed facility.

Pastor David Walden of Roswell Baptist Temple said marijuana is “morally and biblically wrong.”

“Is that what we want to show our community as a

marijuana growing community ... or as a Christian community?” Walden asked.

Roswell City Councilor Jason Perry spoke about how medical and recreational marijuana have quickly expanded in Colorado.

“What we don’t recognize is how this stuff escalates,” Perry said. “At the end of the day, I want to keep Roswell safe.”

Terry Johnson, who has a business near the proposed facility, said a pot farm would stigmatize Roswell, lower nearby property values and negatively “influence young minds.”

“I am deeply concerned that there is a stigma attached to this that will have consequences,” Johnson said. “I believe this stigma will impact our community.”

A couple of residents spoke in favor of the proposal.

“I just don’t see it affecting

them like heroin or meth,” said Jovanna Wright. “They’re not in the same category.”

Jordan Valverde said medical marijuana helps children with epilepsy.

“I do disagree with those who say it’s going to have a stigma,” Valverde said. “I think we need to take into consideration the people who need it.”

Jimmy Williams Jr. said Jeff Tucker Photos

Main St. Nature’s Dairy, pictured to the left in a photo taken Friday, closed last year.

the South Main Street site is just not a suitable location for a medical marijuana growing facility.

“This is just not the place for it, whether it be a brewery or a brothel or whatever,” Williams said. “Is this what we really want Roswell to be known for is to have the first pot farm in the state.”

Cheney said there are currently 23 medical marijuana growing facilities in New Mexico, although none in southeast New Mexico. There are more than 14,000 New Mexico residents enrolled in the state’s medical cannabis program, including about 1,000 cardholders in Chaves and surrounding counties, he said.

“This is not a new thing,” Cheney said. “The state is going to grant 12 new licenses.”

NM legislators Officers act quickly to halt suicide give thumbs up to agreement Submitted by RPD

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico regulators have signed off on an agreement brokered by dairy farmers, state officials and environmental groups.

The Water Quality Control Commission voted unanimously to approve the agreement during a meeting Tuesday in Santa Fe. It marks a compromise over how best to protect groundwater from potential contamination from dairy operations.

Settlement talks began earlier this year as regula-

tors prepared for a public hearing to consider changes to New Mexico’s dairy regulations.

Attorney General Hector Balderas says the agreement is critical to southern New Mexico’s economy and water quality. He pointed out that the dairy industry has an economic impact of about $1.4 billion.

The new regulations require monitoring wells and dairies will be allowed to line their waste ponds with clay liners so long as there’s no contamination.

A trio of Roswell police officers who responded to a call of an attempted suicide last week took quick action in attending to the suicidal man’s injuries to ensure he made it to the hospital in a condition in which he could still be treated for his self-inflicted cut wounds.

The 30-year-old man had used a knife to cut himself numerous times – the most serious injuries were to his arms — and was covered in blood when he came into the Allsup’s store at the intersection of McGaffey Street and Lea Avenue around 2:30 a.m. May 4. As the man collapsed, the store clerk called 911. The man’s girlfriend had also called police to report the man’s suicidal condition and that he had cut himself

Mathis before leaving the residence, which was several blocks from the Allsup’s.

Officers Ricky Mathis, Ricardo Olivares and Charles Drake arrived at the store to find the man bleeding heavily from open wounds on his arms. The man was barely conscious. Officer Mathis placed a tourniquet on the

The officers’ supervising sergeant described their response to the situation as “swift and caring” and said he believes the man is alive today “because of the actions these officers took.

man’s left arm, where the largest knife wound was located. Officers Olivares and Drake used some paper towels as they applied pressure to the man’s other wounds to limit the bleeding. Emergency medical personnel arrived and transported the man to a hospital for full treatment of his injuries.

County and DOJ agree to ADA upgrades Hagerman man sentenced

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday announced an agreement with Chaves County for the county to improve access for persons with disabilities to all county buildings.

Under the agreement, the county will remove accessibility barriers at county facilities, including the Chaves County courthouse, the Chaves County Administrative Center, health centers, medical complexes, the adult detention center and the juvenile detention center.

The county will make p h ys ic al mod ifica tion s to those facilities so that

parking, routes into buildings, entrances, service areas and counters, restrooms, elevators and drinking fountains are accessible to people with disabilities, the Department of Justice said in a news release.

The agreement was reached under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities by state and local governments. The department will actively monitor compliance with the agreement, which will remain in effect for three years.

The county will also survey other facilities and programs and make modificaToday’s Forecast

tions wherever necessary to achieve full compliance with ADA requirements.

In addition to physical accessibility, the county will administer a grievance procedure for resolving ADA complaints, provide effective communication for county programs and services including law enforcement, provide improved access to polling places and ensure that the county’s official website and other web-based services are accessible to people with disabilities.

“Providing access to local government programs, services and activities is critical to ensure equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities,” said Principal

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. “I commend county officials for their cooperation in working with us and for making this commitment to provide equal access to their residents and visitors with disabilities.”

Chaves County Public Services Director/ADA Coordinator Sonny Chancey said Tuesday the modification and improvement costs had not yet been determined.

Settlements reached with Sprint, Verizon Shotguns, DVDs, Attorney General Hector Balderas announced that the New Mexico Office of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division—along with the Attorneys General of the other 49 States and the District of Columbia, the national Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Federal Communications Commission — reached settlements with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”).

The settlements include $158 million in payments, and resolve allegations that Sprint and Verizon placed charges for third-party services on consumers’ mobile telephone bills that were not authorized by the consumers, a practice known as “mobile cramming.”

The State of New Mexico received $334,565 for its participation in the Sprint and Verizon settlements. The national mobile cramming settlements with the four mobile carriers have netted New Mexico a total of $789,763 to date.

Consumers who have been “crammed” often have charges, typically $9.99 per month, for “premium” text message subscription services (also known as “PSMS” subscriptions) such as horoscopes, trivia, and sports scores that the consumers have never heard of or

requested.

“I am pleased we have reached a settlement that will bring over $300,000 to New Mexico consumers, and I am encouraging affected consumers to submit claims,” said Balderas. “Consumers should not be charged for expensive and unnecessary features without their consent, and this settlement puts a stop to a practice that was hurting New Mexico’s working families.”

Consumers can submit claims under the redress programs by visiting SprintRefundPSMS.com and/or CFPBSettlementVerizon.com.

On those websites, consumers can submit claims, find information about refund eligibility and how to obtain a refund, and can request a free account summary that details PSMS purchases on their accounts.

Consumers who have questions about the redress programs can visit the program websites or call the settlement administrators at: (877) 3898787 for Sprint, and/or 888726-7063 for Verizon.

Sprint and Verizon are the third and fourth mobile telephone providers to enter into a nationwide settlement to resolve allegations regarding cramming. The Office of the Attorney General announced similar settlements with AT&T

in October 2014 and T-Mobile in December 2014. All four mobile carriers agreed in 2013 to cease billing customers for commercial PSMS. Under the terms of the settlements, Sprint will pay $68 million and Verizon will pay $90 million. Of these amounts, Sprint and Verizon are required to provide $50 million and $70 million, respectively, to consumers who were victims of cramming. Sprint and Verizon will each distribute refunds to harmed consumers through redress programs that will be under the supervision of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Sprint will also pay $12 million to the attorneys general and $6 million to the Federal Communications Commission. Verizon will also pay $16 million to the attorneys general and $4 million to the Federal Communications Commission.

The settlements, like the settlements entered into by AT&T and T-Mobile in late 2014, require Sprint and Verizon to stay out of the commercial PSMS business—the platform to which law enforcement agencies attribute the lion’s share of the mobile cramming problem. Under each of the four settlements, the carriers, including Sprint and Verizon, must also take a number of

steps designed to ensure that they only bill consumers for third-party charges that have been authorized, including the following: • The carriers must obtain consumers’ express consent before billing consumers for third-party charges, and must ensure that consumers are only charged for services if the consumers have been informed of all material terms and conditions of their payment; • The carriers must give consumers an opportunity to obtain a full refund or credit when they are billed for unauthorized third-party charges; • The carriers must inform their customers when they sign up for services that their mobile phone can be used to pay for third-party charges, and must inform consumers of how those third-party charges can be blocked if the consumers do not want to use their phone to pay for third-party products; and • The carriers must present third-party charges in a dedicated section of consumers’ mobile phone bills, must clearly distinguish them from the carrier’s own charges, and must include in that same section information about the consumers’ ability to block third-party charges.

and the Department of Justice,” Chancey said. “They surveyed all the county-owned buildings within the county and also places not owned by the county, like polling places and things like that. I think the courthouse was probably the reason they made a trip out here.”

Chancy said accessibility issues were found at the exterior ramp to the Chaves County Courthouse.

“There was one small portion of the ramp that was out of compliance,” Chancey said. “The whole ramp was not out of compliance, there was just one portion of it that was high enough to raise the slope on it.”

Chancey said perhaps due to the original pouring of the concrete, the slope of one of the four landings comprising the exterior ramp is greater than allowed under the ADA. He said only a couple feet of the landing, next to the last top landing, were found out of compliance.

“It’s in compliance, the whole ramp itself, there’s just one little portion there that made the ramp not in compliance,” Chancey said. “It appears it could be something we could rework a few feet there and get it back in compliance.”

Chancey said an exterior courthouse elevator near the ramp is not required under the ADA since the ramp is already in place.

The elevator is commonly out of service.

Chancey said the elevator is a screw-driven chairlift, not a cable or hydraulic powered elevator. He said the problem is the elevator door doesn’t properly close.

“One of the problems we’ve had with that is the company that installs it tells us the wind where it’s located pushes the door open and won’t let it close securely enough for operation,” Chancey said. “The elevator actually works, but we don’t think it’s safe to have somebody use it without having somebody there all the time to ensure it’s safe.

“We’re working at installing a real elevator for access to the (courthouse) fourth floor.”

Accessibility problems were also found at the juvenile detention center, located within the courthouse.

“We had to make one cell at the juvenile detention center ADA accessible,” Chancey said. “That’s all being done through our existing contract with the people that are building our adult detention center.

That’s going to be included in that contract to do that.”

The DOJ said the agreement between the federal agency and Chaves County was reached under Project Civic Access, the Justice Department’s initiative to ensure that cities, towns and counties throughout the country comply with the ADA. The DOJ said the agreement is the fifth so far this year, as the department recognizes the 25th anniversary of the ADA, which the Civil Rights Division plays a major role in enforcing.

ney’s Las Cruces Branch Office prosecuted the case.

Little was prosecuted as part of a federal anti-violence initiative that targets “the worst of the worst” offenders for federal prosecution. Under this initiative, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and federal law enforcement agencies work with New Mexico’s District Attorneys and state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to target violent or repeat offenders for federal prosecution with the goal of removing repeat offenders from communities in New Mexico for as long as possible.

Justice Department staff survey state and local government facilities, services and programs in communities across the country to identify changes needed to comply with the ADA. The agreements detail the remedial actions any city or county must take to improve access.

The Justice Department has a Project Civic Access agreement in every state.

The agreement with Chaves County is the first PCA agreement in southern New Mexico.

“We’ll be taking a look at the list of the corrections we are going to make,” Chancey said. “We do have time limitations and deadlines to meet in order to comply with this DOJ thing. We’ll be sitting down and actually doing a schedule of when we’re going to do a project. That way, we’ll stay in compliance with their settlement agreement.”

Chancey said county leaders spent many hours on the telephone negotiating the agreement with federal officials and trying to get an understanding of where improvements are needed.

“It’s something that we feel like we worked really hard on coming to this agreement,” Chancey said.

“Whatever they cited us for, that’s what we’re going to fix. It’s a big deal in the fact that we want to be in compliance with them. It’s something we’re going to have to sit down and give a lot of thought to.”

Chancey said county leaders would review the list of improvements item by item until completed.

“This is something we take very seriously,” he said. “We feel that we’ve been pretty effective in dealing with accessibility in all our buildings. Sometimes these details, we see every day, but we don’t see them like the DOJ does.”

Plan OK’d to drill into Macondo reservoir NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Deep-water drilling is set to resume near the site of the catastrophic BP PLC well blowout that killed 11 workers and caused the nation’s largest offshore oil spill five years ago off the coast of Louisiana.

A Louisiana-based oil company, LLOG Exploration Offshore LLC, plans to drill into the Macon-

do reservoir, according to federal records reviewed

by The Associated Press.

Harper’s Magazine first reported the drilling plans late Tuesday.

LLOG’s permit to drill a new well near BP’s site was approved April 13 by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, an agency overseeing offshore oil and gas drilling operations.

The company’s exploration plan was approved last October following an environmental review by a sister agency, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

The company, a privately owned firm based in Covington, Louisiana, will be looking to extract oil and gas deep under the Gulf of Mexico’s seafloor, an undertaking

that proved catastrophic for BP. On April 20, 2010, a drilling rig owned by Transocean Ltd. and hired by BP to drill into the Macondo field experienced a series of problems that led to a massive blowout. Investigators later faulted BP and its contractors for fatal missteps.

Jones shortened classes to 16 weeks from 22 and changed use of deadly force training.

Balderas says the review is needed amid police protests in Ferguson and Baltimore.

statewide stipend of $5,000 to $15,000 in additional annual pay for certain teachers in high poverty schools. It also suggests more funding for a teacher loan repayment program.

LFC Chairman Sen. John Arthur Smith says lawmakers could reduce teachers’ retirement benefits to offset salary increases.

Starting teacher pay in New Mexico will be set at a minimum of $34,000 for the school year beginning this fall, a legislature-improved increase from $32,000.

Lt. Kyle Lincoln of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday the man was 31-year-old Benjamin James Edwards III of St. Augustine. Lincoln says Benjamin was a person of interest in the disappearance of his niece, also of St. Augustine, who was the second person found dead.

The girl was reported missing May 4.

The chase began Monday after Montezuma County, Colorado, sheriffs were called after gasoline was stolen in Cortez. The chase, in which shots were fired from the suspects’ vehicle but not by police, ended with the two stopped on the Navajo Nation. Officers ordered the occupants out, received no response, then found them dead.

The announcement comes as the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy Board is set to meet in Espanola on June 9 and 10.

A nation wide surprise during the British elections

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — “Shocked,” “surprised,” “stunned” were some of the words used by broadcasters, columnists, political “experts” and pollsters when a Conservative Party victory was forecast by exit polls on election night.

Former Liberal Democrat Party leader Paddy Ashdown was so certain the exit polls were wrong that he announced on the BBC he would publicly eat his hat if they were right. British chefs may now be considering whether a traditional bowler or a Carnaby Snap Brim from Christys’ would make the most palatable meal.

When the actual results were in — a Conservative sweep, with the exception of Scotland — the experts were even more gobsmacked. How could this have happened? They had predicted an outcome too close to call, a hung Parliament and the possibility that Labour Leader Ed Miliband, who ran a campaign attacking “the rich” and promised higher taxes, was poised to become the next prime minister.

Cal Thomas

Syndicated Columnist The Telegraph said Labour lost because “it chose the wrong leader, wrong team and wrong priorities.” Miliband, along with Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, and UKIP’s Nigel Farage, resigned within minutes of each other in a scene reminiscent of the Watergate era’s “Saturday Night Massacre.” With few opposition leaders — save the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) Nicola Sturgeon — Cameron has been given a honeymoon period to enact his agenda that could last up to a year.

Cameron also promised to devolve powers across Britain in an effort to stave off increasingly nationalism in Scotland

and Wales and calls for independence from England. This is a practice conservatives in America would like to see implemented between Washington and the states. Among Cameron’s priorities should be the repeal of the Human Rights Act, which has been used by terrorists and criminals in Britain to avoid prison and deportation, and to curb immigration which, as in America, has become an uncontrolled flood.

Conservatives win — in Britain and the U.S. — when they articulate and stick to their principles and show they stand more for average people than for the rich.

Cameron took language straight from Labour’s playbook when he spoke of supporting “working people.”

Two former top aides to President Obama advised Miliband (David Axelrod) and Cameron (Jim Messina), proving that at least in Messina’s case, a big paycheck trumps liberal ideology.

The British press reported Axelrod made $300,000 GBP (about

$460,000 USD) for his failed efforts. No word on how much Messina was paid, but he apparently rationalized his work for Cameron because the prime minister supports same-sex marriage and believes in “climate change.”

Not all conservatives fit a single mold.

In remarks delivered the morning after Election Day, Cameron reiterated his successful campaign themes: “Our manifesto is a manifesto for working people and as a majority government we will be able to deliver all of it: indeed, it is the reason why I think majority government is more accountable. Three million apprenticeships, more help with childcare, helping 30 million people cope with the cost of living by cutting their taxes building homes that people are able to buy and own, creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future and yes, we will deliver that in-out referendum on our future in Europe.”

That last one will be tricky because of trade, jobs and other

issues tied to Britain’s relationship with the European Union, as well as its increasingly fragile ties to Scotland. Last year the Scots rejected an independence referendum, but having swept 56 of 59 seats in the new Parliament, the SNP can cause problems for Cameron’s agenda, which its star leader, Nicola Sturgeon, vowed to do during the campaign.

In the last days before the election and in response to criticism he was too laid-back, Cameron managed to get fired-up. He cast aside traditional British reserve, speaking with force and conviction. American conservatives take note.

“I feared the worst ... thank God for the good sense of the British people,” wrote Max Hastings in The Daily Mail. Even in a mostly secular nation like Britain, that seems a good sentiment considering the “miraculous” results.

Editorial

A victory over evil, seven decades ago May 8 has played host to many significant events, but there is no question about the significance of what happened on May 8, 1945 — the beginning of the end of the world’s greatest and most destructive war, World War II. Victory in Europe — VE Day — commemorated German’s unconditional surrender to Allied forces. One of the most emotional and joyous events in the history of the 20th century. VE Day signified the fall of the Third Reich, a regime that had plunged the world into chaos.

For the British, French, Russians and other Europeans, whose homelands had been bombed, ransacked, laid waste and occupied, VE Day offered a chance to believe in a future again. It was a time to dream of reuniting families and rebuilding lives and countries ravaged by total war.

For military men and women the world over, it signified the first step on the road home. It renewed hope for the families of those fighting in Europe that their loved ones would return alive and well.

The end of World War II in the European Theater of Operations came at an incalculable cost to the human family of millions of live shattered and lost.

Adolf Hitler, whose very name had become synonymous with evil, continued to exhort his overwhelmed, under-supplied troops to continue to fight the Allies, even after it became obvious to Hitler’s top staff that Germany was lost.

As Russian troops neared Berlin, Hitler and his long-time mistress, Eva Braun, concealed themselves in an underground bunker. As Allied troops continued their advances on all fronts, the pair committed suicide on April 30, 1945.

People around the globe burst into spontaneous celebration at the news of Germany’s defeat and the end of the European part of the war that had consumed so many young and innocent lives. They crowded into city streets from Times Square in New York to Trafalgar Square in London to cheer President Truman’s and Winston Churchill’s announcements that Germany had capitulated.

That was seven decades ago — 70 years since the men and women who fought that war at home and abroad celebrated the Allied success. Many have passed from the scene now, and each year fewer and fewer of those who fought World War II remain with us.

World War II was the most serious threat to freedom in recorded history.

Those who fought in the sands of Africa, the mud and villages of Italy, on the beaches of Normandy, and into the heart of the Reich were America’s heroes and rescued untold millions in Europe. The passage of these last 70 years has neither dimmed their heroics nor dulled their glory.

Eastern North Carolina — Onslow and Carteret counties in particular — is the home to veterans of many wars, including World War II. As the numbers of America’s finest men and women dwindle, this country loses a generation that never faltered, never let the odds overwhelm them, never let go of the dream that all men are entitled to live and die free from tyranny.

Answer to one question unnerves Democrats Hillary Clinton, according to the reliable Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released earlier this month, defines the 2016 presidential race.

A plurality of voters now find the former secretary of state being “knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency,” “effective” and able to get “things done,” “willing to compromise and find consensus,” and “compassionate enough to understand average people” — historically qualities prized by the presidential electorate.

Clinton is currently the voters’ choice when matched against all Republicans, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

But the answer to one question on the poll made more than a few Democrats,

Mark Shields Syndicated Columnist already nervous about their party’s prospects of winning a third consecutive White House term, break into a cold sweat: Do you think Clinton is “honest and straightforward”? About a year ago, voters split almost right down the middle (38 percent yes, 40 percent no) when asked that question. But today just 1 in 4 respondents — a drop of 13 percentage points — judge the Democratic front-runner to be “honest and straightforward,” while one-half of voters give Clinton the thumbs-down as

lacking those qualities of candor and integrity.

Obviously, context does matter. This poll was taken after press coverage of Clinton’s use of a private email server, widely seen as intended to avoid public oversight, and during the continuing controversy about the Clinton Foundation’s seeking and accepting large contributions from foreign governments and private companies with interests in winning favor with a former secretary of state or a future president. But almost always when an American president seeks to forge a consensus on painfully difficult national issues, especially when the proposed compromise calls for citizen sacrifice, that president needs the nation’s voters to trust and to believe him — or her.

One leading Democrat who would almost certainly back

She was either in the Senate or the Cabinet and financially ‘pure.’ Did nobody — or her own moral compass — tell her that her speech fees and her renewed association with the foundation would become political and press disasters?”

Eating peanuts may reduce risk of developing peanut allergy DEAR DOCTOR K: My baby has an egg allergy. His doctor says this increases his risk of developing a peanut allergy. She recommends avoiding peanut products for now.

But another doctor gave me the opposite advice. What should I do?

DEAR READER: If your child has a food allergy, you may well agonize over the safety of his every meal and snack. And no wonder. Food allergies can cause severe — even deadly — allergic reactions. Peanut allergies can cause bad rashes, severe difficulty breathing, a dangerous drop in blood pressure and other dangerous results.

But a study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine offers some hope for parents of infants who may be headed

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate toward a peanut allergy. That hope is peanuts.

For the study, researchers recruited 640 infants aged 4 to 11 months. These infants all had an egg allergy or eczema. (Eczema is an allergic disorder that affects the skin.) Both eczema and an egg allergy make it more likely that a child will develop a peanut allergy.

So, the kids in the study all were at higher risk for

developing a peanut allergy than most kids. Then, these kids were tested to see who already had developed a sensitivity to peanuts. This was done with a test in which a drop of peanut extract was placed under the surface of the skin. Redness or swelling in that spot indicated that the infant was sensitive to peanuts.

The children were divided into two groups: children whose skin tests showed that they were already sensitive to peanuts, and children who weren’t.

Within each of those groups, the children were further divided into two groups. The parents in one group were asked to make sure their children didn’t eat any peanuts, peanut butter or other peanut-based

products until age 5. Parents in the other group were asked to give their children a peanut-based snack called Bamba or peanut butter three times a week until age 5.

The results were surprising and dramatic. Of children who were not already sensitive to peanuts, a peanut allergy developed in only 1.9 percent of children who ate peanut products, compared with 13.7 percent of those who didn’t eat peanuts.

Even more surprising, of the kids who were already sensitive to peanuts, a peanut allergy developed in only 10.6 percent of children who regularly ate peanut products, compared with See DR. K, Page A5

Old ad slogan revisited: ‘Where’s the beef?’

Today, more messages from the messenger on how the “crack down” following the death of several (way, way more than a few) vets in Phoenix and in a growing list of other VA facilities nationally (isn’t) progressing. However, instead of my rant, here’s another real live account from another of our patriot brothers (Sgt. RD, Retired, Air Force – name withheld for privacy).

“Mr. Taylor; I served honorably in the USAF from 1971-75, received a veterans administration card (2”×4”) that has my name and a file number on it, no picture ID. In the 40 years since, I have never once used the VA medical services. Mainly because my dad, uncles and other relatives related horror stories of long waits, run around appointments, delayed appointments, confusion, screw-ups, the list goes on, and you have heard related inferences from other vets.

An uncle went in the Albu-

John Taylor Veterans Advocate querque VA for a treatable disease, I visited one week, the next he was in a coma, the next he passed. My dad (World War II and Korea veteran) told me to avoid the VA. Word of mouth, stories, and recent SNAFUS in the VA medical system, do not make me wish to be in this problem-ridden medical care program. I am disabled (non-military) and on Medicare, and have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance through my wife’s work. We are not rich, nor middle class, maybe “upper class poor,” but have paid our way without the VA. Last year I received a letter from the VA wanting me to take a poll about

their care. After 40 years the VA is concerned how I feel; the language I used I won’t repeat. I filed that missive in the appropriate receptacle. I’m totally disgusted with the way we vets are treated by the very government we took an oath to protect. It was a honor and a privilege to have served !

I love my country and will protect her with my last breath.

In Roswell there are many vets for whom the trip to the Albuquerque VA is a prolonged death sentence. The VA is full of the end product of a male bovine. My wife’s brother (a vet) attempted to utilize the medical services recently, and suffered the typical standard run around, and was told he is not in the system, even though he registered, has the new photo ID card, has been to the Artesia VA clinic many times and is seeing a doctor there. The government is happy to let us shed our

blood and give our lives, but to honor our sacrifices, this is how they repay us.

Stuff their pockets with the tax payers’ money, abuse the ones that keep them in power. I am not bitter about Vietnam war, but I detest politicians. Pardon my rant.

You are doing an excellent job as our advocate, I wish that there was a legal, but more extremely blunt way for veterans to demand (which has never happened) respect and honorable treatment! Thank you brother.” Hang in, my bro.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.

Let’s have a brief progress report. A review commissioned by Obama found the VA medical branch plagued by “significant and chronic system failures.”

Obama’s new VA director has already lied to us about some of his military career.

In February, Secretary Robert A. McDonald said in a televised interview, “We’ve got 60 people that we fired

Study: Americans becoming less Christian, more secular NEW YORK (AP) — The number of Americans who don’t affiliate with a particular religion has grown to 56 million in recent years, making the faith group researchers call “nones” the second-largest in total numbers behind evangelicals, according to a Pew Research Center study released Tuesday.

Christianity is still the dominant faith by far in the U.S.; 7 in 10 Americans identify with the tradition. However, the ranks of Christians have declined as the segment of people with no religion has grown, the survey says.

Between 2007 and 2014, when Pew conducted two major surveys of U.S. religious life, Americans who described themselves as atheist, agnostic or of no particular faith grew from 16 percent to nearly 23 percent. At the same time, Christians dropped from about 78 percent to just under 71 percent of the population. Protestants now comprise 46.5 percent of what was once a predominantly Protestant country.

Researchers have long debated whether people with no religion should be defined as secular since the category includes those who believe in God or consider themselves “spiritual.” But the new Pew study found increasing signs of secularism.

Last year, 31 percent of “nones” said they were atheist or agnostic, compared to 25 percent in 2007, and the percentage who said religion was important to them dropped.

Greg Smith, Pew’s associate research director, said the findings “point to substantive chang-

es” among the religiously unaffiliated, not just a shift in how people describe themselves. Secular groups have become increasingly organized to counter bias against them and keep religion out of public life through lawsuits and lobbying lawmakers.

The growth of “nones” has political significance as well. People with no religion tend to vote Democratic, just as white evangelicals tend to vote Republican. The Pew study found a slight drop — about 1 percent — in the evangelical share of the population, which now comprises a quarter of Americans. But the overall number of evangelicals rose to about 62 million people.

Pew researchers said Christian losses were driven by decreases among mainline, or liberal, Protestants and Roman Catholics.

Mainline Protestants declined by about 5 million to 36 million between 2007 and 2014. Pew found 13 percent of U.S. adults are former Catholics. The study put the number of Catholic adults at 51 million, or just over one-fifth of the U.S. population, a drop of about 3 percent over seven years. In 2007, Catholics made up about one-quarter of Americans.

However, Pew researchers acknowledge those conclusions differ from those of some other major studies that found only slight declines or even a slight uptick in the numbers of Catholics in the last couple of years.

Catholicism, puts the U.S. adult Catholic population at 61 million.

Regarding other religions, Pew found an increase in membership of non-Christian faiths, driven mainly by growing numbers of Muslims and Hindus. Despite the increase, their numbers remain small. Muslims and Hindus each comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population. The number of Jews rose slightly over the period, from 1.7 percent to 1.9 percent of Americans.

Overall, religious groups have become more ethnically diverse along with the broader population.

Latinos now comprise onethird of U.S. Roman Catholics, although fewer U.S. Latinos identify as Catholic overall. One-quarter of evangelicals and 14 percent of mainline Protestants are racial minorities.

who have manipulated wait times.” But the practice of fudging numbers didn’t stop when he arrived. Politifact reported that the number of employees who “were either removed, received probationary termination or resigned in lieu of removal” was not 60. It was 14. Even that number, it turns out, gave the department way too much credit.

After being granted access to documents by the House Committee on VA, the New York Times reported that “the real number of people removed from their jobs is much smaller still: at most, three.” Out of 280,000 people in the department, a measly eight got any sort of punishment (some “retired” with full benefits) for practices that caused suffering and probable deaths.

The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Inspector General’s Office continues to withhold findings of health care violations at Augus-

ta’s Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, despite six months of calls from congressional leaders to tell the public about how problems are being resolved.

“VA’s problems often go unsolved if they never see the light of day, which is why the IG needs to release this report,” Rep. Jeff Miller, the Florida Republican who heads the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, said in a statement. Miller and our Rep. Steve Pearce have been working tirelessly on trying to make sure the VA complies with the laws passed last year to “fix” the VA. It goes without saying, they need others in “the People’s House”to stop the bafflegab and actually lend a hand to Chairman Miller and Rep. Pearce. All of us, brothers and sisters, need to keep the pressure on! God bless.

35.3 percent of those who didn’t regularly eat peanut products.

In other words, feeding peanuts to young children who are at high risk for developing a peanut allergy can actually protect them from developing that allergy later in life. Somehow, it makes a child’s immune system more “accepting” of peanuts and less likely to respond violently. A peanut diet does not offer perfect protection against a peanut allergy

developing later in life, but it does reduce the risk.

What does this new research mean for parents? If your infant is allergy-prone, ask his or her pediatrician about adding peanuts to your child’s diet now, to prevent a peanut allergy down the line.

How mom ‘checked herself before she wrecked herself’ NEW YORK (AP) — Ylonda Gault Caviness has no use for mommy groups, peeling the skins off peas for babies, wet-wipe warmers and the shelves and shelves of parenting books that have taken over child-rearing.

But it wasn’t always that way. When her first child came along 16 years ago, Caviness took a back seat to her baby’s everything.

When child No. 2 landed, she patiently hung in there.

Then along came her third.

That’s when a bit of advice from her old-school mama sounded in her head: “Girl, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself!”

In other words, this working, African-American mom of three breathed in and out — deeply — then took a seat and realized making her brood happy all the time at all costs, including her own sanity, was the wrong way to go.

In a sweet, funny memoir looking back on her own upbringing in Buffalo and reflecting on the contemporary complexities of parenting in suburban New York City, the 50-year-old Caviness writes of relishing her “me-time” and learning to ignore the dust bunnies. She declares herself “too blessed to be stressed.”

In other words, her mama got a lot of things right.

Caviness’ book, “Child, Please: How Mama’s OldSchool Lessons Helped Me Check Myself Before I Wrecked Myself,” was released May 5 by Penguin.

A conversation with Ylonda Gault Caviness: AP: Tell me about your mother and her style of raising you and your two siblings.

Caviness: My mom was and is a very pragmatic person. She was single for a large part of our upbringing.

She worked in a factory. She grew up in the Jim Crow South. But she had not an ounce of bitterness despite the fact that she grew up four blocks away from the 16th Street church bombing in Birmingham.

The thing I remember most is that she seemed genuinely happy when she came home from work and genuinely happy when she interacted with us. I mean, not when we got whoopins, but when she walked in the house she was grinning from ear to ear as though we were fuel.

In hindsight, I feel that she did that because she made sure she took care of herself. She didn’t fawn over us. She made it very clear that we could rock her world but we couldn’t be her world.

AP: What are some of the hard truths about race and raising children that you take on in your book?

Caviness: In many black households, discipline and compliance are far more important. I think that comes from history. I think that when you look back at slavery and things like Jim Crow, our parents had to protect us from a world that would not likely look upon us kindly. They were harsh with discipline so that when they put us out into the world we wouldn’t appear uppity to whites, that we would be compliant to authority so that we would stay alive, so that we would stay out of trouble.

I believe that legacy continues.

AP: Is that a positive or a negative?

Caviness: I don’t think it’s either. It’s just still a reality. We’re not post-racial, but things are different now and we can fill our kids heads with thoughts that they’re all that and a bag of chips

and everything’s fine, but as we see now with the violence from police, we really do have to maintain, as a race, some of that ‘keep-it-realness.’

We have to make sure that our children understand to a certain extent, within reason, that the world is still not necessarily going to treat them fairly.

I’m not saying at every turn they’re going to be discriminated against. I’m not saying that we should scare our kids. But I do think we need to prepare them for the reality of what the world is.

AP: You recently wrote an op-ed piece for The New York Times along those lines and had some anonymous commenters declaring you a racist.

Caviness: I wanted to write it as a black mom who was brought up a certain way, and I’m not saying every black mom in the country was brought up the way I was. We’re not a monolith. But I do think it’s important to have this con-

versation because of what happened in Baltimore with Toya Graham, the mom who grabbed her son and smacked him upside the head to pull him out of the uprising.

I felt a moment when I thought, ‘Wow, she did what she believed in and I respect her for that.’ But a lot of blacks on social media were saying things like, ‘Oh she’s part of that whole slave mentality and she’s a pawn and of course the media is shooting her because she’s beating yet another black child.’

I just feel very strongly that we can’t judge her. I don’t beat my kids, but really I don’t beat them because I don’t think it works. It didn’t work on me.

A lot of people, black and white, were sitting on their sofas in their houses and listening to Anderson Cooper tell them what was going on in Baltimore and this woman had the sirens outside her door, and she looks in her house and her baby is

not there and she sees him with a brick in his hand and police all around him. I feel as though what she did was akin to grabbing a toddler out of oncoming traffic. It’s just that legacy we have.

AP: How does a mother of today reconcile the past with the “professionalization”of parenthood? The expert advice, all the opinions, the mommy wars.

Caviness: Some of it has to be maternal instinct, wisdom that you have, the common sense that you were born with. But I know we cannot raise our kids entirely in the old-school way. We have to mix the old and the new, but keep your common sense about you, based on your kids. Not what a book says.

Sometimes, as a culture, Americans are reluctant to go through that organic, trial-and-error process of figuring things out. We want a quick fix. We want our kids to have some sense of joy, but we need to make them strong. We need to make

them resilient. We need to make sure they have integrity.

Happiness is fleeting, but we can’t raise kids if the goal is to always keep them happy. Sometimes they’ve got to be uncomfortable and they’ve got to figure things out.

Report: Rising share of Hispanics speak proficient English LOS ANGELES (AP) — A rising share of Hispanics in the United States speak proficient English and the percentage of those speaking Spanish at home has been declining, researchers said Tuesday.

A report by the Washington-based Pew Research Center found 68 percent of Hispanics spoke only English at home or spoke English very well in 2013, up from 59 percent in 2000.

The share of Hispanics speaking Spanish at home dropped to 73 percent from 78 percent over the same period.

The shift comes as migration to the United States from Latin America has slowed.

“This is part of a broader trend, which is the U.S.-born driving many of the characteristics of the community, and it is only going to become more amplified,” said Mark Hugo Lopez, Pew’s director of Hispanic research.

Even so, the number of Hispanics who speak Spanish at home reached a record 35.8 million because of overall growth in the Hispanic population. The report found the number of Hispanics who speak proficient English also hit a record 33.2 million.

The Hispanic population in the United States surged 53 percent to 54 million from 2000 to 2013, driven largely by growth among U.S.-born Hispanics, not immigrants,

according to Pew. That’s compared with 12 percent growth in the total population.

About half of U.S.-born Hispanics speak Spanish, and about half of their children retain the language, Lopez said. The recent rise of English-language media geared toward Hispanics is responding to this trend, he said.

The language report, which was based on an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data for Hispanics age 5 and older, found 89 percent of U.S.-born Latinos spoke proficient English in 2013, up from 81 percent in 2000. For Hispanic immigrants, English proficiency was greater among those with higher levels of education, the report showed.

In Southern California, Rene Amel Peralta, 28, said he’s increasingly used English as he pursues his college degree in chemistry. He said he had all but stopped using Spanish — the only language he knew until he came to the U.S. from Mexico at age 13 — but has started speaking it again more recently to reconnect with his culture.

“Since I am getting a university education, my English language is becoming more academic, something I don’t have at all in Spanish,” he said.

“In Spanish, I have the very basics. It is basically street Spanish.”

Lady Rockets take 2nd at state golf tourney, Roswell’s Andreis finishes 4th individually

By Karen Boehler Record Correspondent

The second day of play was the charm for almost all of the local athletes at the Class 5A state golf tournament on their home course.

Playing at the Nancy Lopez golf course at Spring River, the Lady Rockets improved by 13 strokes, overtaking St. Pius and holding off Lovington to win the second-place team trophy. There was no overtaking Albuquerque Academy, which blasted through the course with a two-day score of 633 — better than one of the boys teams.

Sophomore Haley Cain led the way, shooting a career low 81.

“I just didn’t really think about it,” Cain said. “I just went out there and played.

Just did my best.”

Cain came into the 18th hole shooting 75, and despite driving into the trees on her tee shot, she ultimately came out of the trees with a fantastic approach.

Coach Fernando Sosa was pulling for her to get an even lower score than her eventual 81.

“If she’d have gotten par on that last hole, (she would have had a 79.) I was really pulling for her,” he said.

“Two shots; she did a three putt. One hole, we were all hoping for her. It was good.

I’m proud of her.”

Haley’s sister Sara, a senior, shot an 85, matching her first day’s score and tying her sister for the two days with a 170. Clair Wilden improved over Monday by one stroke, while No. 4 Jaden Smith lowered her score by seven stokes and Ali DeGroot three.

“We knew what we had to go out and do, so we

Roswell Daily Record

just went out there and did it,” Haley said of the team effort. “It feels good. This is the best we’ve done this season, so that’s good.”

So what was the difference from one day to the next?

“Like we said in the newspaper last night, they were just kind of nervous (Monday), especially being here at home,” Sosa said. “But today, they came out and they played. They really did well.”

On the boys side, Roswell’s Jake Andreis shot eight strokes better, notching a 71 and tying for fourth-place individually with a two-day 150.

“I feel good,” Andreis said of the comeback. “I mean, yesterday, I didn’t feel good.

I was really sick. Felt like passing out a few times.

But, we made it through the round and ended up playing not all too bad and we played good today. It just felt really good to come out with kind of a clean slate.

No pressure. It felt good to play good again.”

And the “we” Andreis was talking about is his coach, Stephen Willis, who he credited with helping him throughout the season.

The other two local indiv id u a ls p la y in g in th e tourney were Goddard senior Bryce Hoskins, who improved his score by three strokes, tallying a 79; and Lady Coyote Haley Bolanos, who had a rough day with an even 100.

Three of the Lady Rockets will be back to try again next year, as will Andreis.

And while they won’t get to play on their home course — teams rotate between three courses every year — the Roswell course will be back in action, hosting the A-4A meets, which will include NMMI and Dexter.

LeBron scores 38, Cavs down NFL investigator Wells says he found direct Bulls 106-101 in heated Game 5 evidence against Brady CLEVELAND (AP) — With the “Big 3” reduced to the “Banged-Up 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only.

James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and Cleveland held off Chicago’s charge in the fourth quarter for a 106-101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal.

Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season.

“LeBron was just outstanding, every element of the game,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “You can’t pick a thing he didn’t do at the highest level.”

Cleveland can wrap up the best-of-seven series with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend.

The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close and it was intense.

Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2 of 15 in the final three quarters and aggravated a shoulder “stinger” he sustained in Game 1.

Fueled by an altercation that led to the ejection of Chicago’s Taj Gibson, the Cavs led by 17 with 6:09 left and then had to hold off a furious comeback by the

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James dunks against the Chicago Bulls during the first half of Game 5 in a second-round NBA playoff series Tuesday in Cleveland.

Bulls, who got within 10199 on Butler’s 3-pointer with 1:18 left.

Cleveland, though, got a huge offensive rebound

by Iman Shumpert before Irving, playing on a sprained right foot and sore left knee, made four free throws in the final 17 seconds.

The Bulls were missing big man Pau Gasol, who

sat out his second straight game with a strained left hamstring and didn’t sound confident before Game 5 that he’d be ready by Thursday.

They also played the final 10:25 without Gibson, ejected for kicking Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova. Gibson shoved Dellavedova to the floor and then kicked the scrappy backup,

who angered the Bulls forward by clamping his legs around Gibson’s. Players on both teams exchanged shoves and pushes before the officials got things under control.

“I didn’t think anything of it,” Blatt said when asked to comment on the altercation. “No comment.”

Gibson could be facing further discipline from the league, and Dellavedova, too, might get slapped for his role.

The Cavs were sparked by the incident and opened a 90-73 lead before the Bulls came charging back.

Dunleavy scored six points in an 11-0 run that got Chicago back in it before the Cavs gained their composure and closed it out.

James, who came in shooting just 38 percent in the series, didn’t show the slightest signs of being slowed by the sprain he sustained late in Game 4.

He ran the floor with abandon, posted up whenever possible and seemed intent on taking care of the Bulls by himself.

He scored Cleveland’s first 12 points of the second quarter, helping the Cavs open a 10-point lead.

James finished one drive by powering through Nikola Mirotic, who couldn’t stop the 250-pound, wineand-gold-colored truck at the rim. After the basket, James glanced at his biceps and then brushed his arm as if flicking off a bug.

“We were slow. He was quicker,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “We just need to respond to him better.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The lawyer who investigated the New England Patriots insisted Tuesday that he found direct, not just circumstantial, evidence to show quarterback Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating footballs.

Miffed by criticism from Brady’s agent, Ted Wells decided to take the unusual step of holding a conference call with reporters, a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl MVP for the season’s first four games based on the report.

Wells said his findings would have been strong enough to convince a jury under the “preponderance of evidence” standard, which is used in many civil cases.

Wells released his report last Wednesday, asserting it was “more probable than not” that Brady “was at least generally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

His voice frequently rising Tuesday, Wells testily rebutted assertions from Don Yee, Brady’s agent, questioning Wells’ independence because his firm does other business with the NFL. “What drove the decision in this report is one thing: It was the evidence,” Wells said. “I could not ethically ignore the import and relevancy of those text messages and the other evidence.”

Wells specifically mentioned two series of text exchanges between officials’ locker room atten-

dant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski. In one, McNally referred to himself as “the Deflator” and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jastremski mentioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls.

“That is not circumstantial evidence,” Wells said.

“That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place.”

On Thursday, Yee had called Wells’ report “a significant and terrible disappointment,” suggesting that it “reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later.”

Along with denying any bias, Wells derided the idea that the NFL wanted the investigation to implicate a quarterback he described as “one of the most popular, iconic players in the league.”

“That does not make sense,” Wells said. “It’s a ridiculous allegation.”

Wells has conducted several other high-profile sports investigations in recent years, including the NFL report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal.

To Yee’s assertion that he omitted key statements from Brady, Wells challenged the agent to release his full transcript of the interview.

“Nothing, I guarantee you, in his notes would make any difference in my decision,” he said.

MLB pumps up ball security after recent Tom Brady flap NEW YORK (AP) — Even before Tom Brady was penalized, Major League Baseball boosted its prevent defense.

As part of a new security plan this season to further safeguard game balls, an MLB representative now watches them get carried by a clubhouse assistant from the umpires’ room to the field.

And if the supply of eight dozen or so runs low during a game, an MLB security person is sent to retrieve more.

In the past, a ball boy or ball girl did those jobs alone.

“We can’t deflate ‘em,” Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia said Sunday. “It’s precautionary, I guess.”

MLB said many changes in the pumped-up policy for ball security and storage were discussed by equipment managers last December at the winter meetings. That was more than a month before Brady and the New England Patriots were accused of deflating footballs in the AFC championship game.

MLB said it was aware of the Patriots’ situation as it put the procedures into effect on opening day at every stadium.

Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL on Monday for his role in the scandal. The Patriots were fined $1 million and also lost two future draft picks.

As for any copycat in the majors, Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell joked

It also nearly tripled the record $150 million in payper-view revenue generated

Mayweather was the big winner both in the fight and at the bank. He was guaranteed 60 percent of the net revenue to the promotion, while Pacquiao’s camp got the remaining 40 percent.

Mayweather-Pacquiao sets PPV mark with record 4.4 million buys

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao proved a box office smash, even if their welterweight title fight didn’t live up to the hype.

The May 2 fight obliterated the pay-per-view record, with 4.4 million buys generating more than $400 million in revenue. With a live gate of nearly $72 million and other revenue, the bout grossed more than $600 million and likely made Mayweather more than $200 million.

Obituaries ington DC, a position she held for three years before returning home to Mason City in 1951. Ardys soon after succumbed to the charms of Richard Koller and the two married August 22, 1953, at St. James Lutheran Church.

Rev. R.E. Bledermann officiated. Richard and Ardys would go on to raise four children, Robert, Kraig, Susan, and Keith. After a short time, Ardys refused to remember her children’s names and would actually say, “whatever your name is, get over here!” Everyone of those kids would come running when she would make goulash, home made chicken noodles, or potato pancakes.

We all loved her cooking. Then it happened, an unfortunate event regretted by all her children. Her bad day at work transferred to her cooking that day, and her husband’s and children’s mocking of her effort led us to seek alternate avenues of dinner thereafter. When asked what was for dinner after this event, Mom would say, “Whatever YOU want to fix.” This started Dad’s alternate career of cooking for everyone. Meatloaf three times a week, because variety is the spice of life. Ardys’s career at Armour foods entailed being the transportation manager. At anytime she could be called for assistance, and many nights off the clock she did just that, directing traffic from her couch at home, effortlessly telling shipping managers exactly where their trucks should be.

Ardys moved to Roswell, New Mexico, in October of 1994 to help her mother.

This is eventually where she decided to live full time. She moved in with her mother at the Roadrunner Mobile Home Park.

She grew to be friends with everyone there and she often spoke of how wonderful everyone was.

There she wrote the park newsletter for many years until her vision made it too hard to continue. Although legally blind, she continued to live by herself for many years unencumbered. Nothing got in the

Ardys Koller

Ardys Marcella Koller took her place in heaven on April 15 after a short, courageous battle with cancer. She passed away with family by her side.

Though her battle was short, not enough can be said about the courage and strength she showed during this unfortunate time. Her last wishes were to tell all of her family and friends that she loves them, something she said multiple times to make sure they all know. This was the way she lived her life, her beautiful love filled life.

She remembered everyone’s birthday, her children, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren. It’s an understatement to say family meant everything to her.

Ardys was born to Norwegian parents, Arther and Mabel Paulson. She was the fifth child of seven children. Her younger years were spent stuffing her shoes with cardboard until ration stamps could be used to buy a new pair.

Everything was rationed during the World War II y e a r s . A r d y s w a s c o nfirmed in the Palace Theater in Mason City with popcorn popping in the lobby. She was confirmed by pastor Alvin Rogness who later became the president of the St. Paul Lutheran Seminary. Ardys graduated from Mason City High School in 1948 in a class of 267 kids. She ranked 16th in academics. After high school, she applied and was accepted to a position with the Navy Department for a civilian clerical position in Wash-

way of her independence.

Ardys loved to travel, especially in the Southwestern states. Bingo halls, slot machines, and cards were particular weaknesses of hers. She also spent many hours reading books. Her favorite authors were Grace Livingston Hill and Dorothy Garlock, her personal favorite.

Ardys also loved animals and had a special fondness for Chihuahuas. Any form of animal cruelty was absolutely detested by her.

Ardys was a devout Christian and was a member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Roswell. There she was a volunteer secretary for 10 years until her vision made it hard to continue. She absolutely loved attending and particularly enjoyed the Christmas Eve Candle Light service.

Ardys also had a political side that was staunchly conservative. Ardys also respectfully requests that the Democratic Party, now that she has passed away, not use her name for voting purposes in the upcoming Presidential election.

Ardys was preceded in death by her father Arthur Paulson, her oldest son Robert, her husband Richard, her mother Mabel, her brother Robert Paulson, and her sister Inez.

Her funeral will be held on May 16, at 10 a.m. at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Roswell, NM. Her second service will be held at St. James Lutheran church in Mason City, IA, at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, Ardys would hope that you do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some unfortunate soul in her name.

June Mims

She was born on June 29, 1919, to Bertie Farrell Swartz and Arthur R. Swartz and grew up and attended school in San Angelo, Texas. Following high school, June attended San Angelo College and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa, a National honorary society for junior colleges. She received her diploma on May 30, 1938.

Her education continued at Texas State College for Women with a major in Music Education and a minor in English. She received her Bachelor of Science degree June 3, 1940.

After graduating from Texas State College for Women, June returned home and began teaching music at a school in Christoval, Texas, in order to remain close to her home. During this time she played the piano for events in the San Angelo area. In 1941, June began

teaching in Sterling City, Texas where she met a young rancher, Joe Mims, who was quite taken with her. In fact, he told a good friend to leave her alone as he planned to marry her.

They were married on April 6, 1942.

June remained in San Angelo during her husband’s service in the Army Air Corp where he served as a bombardier in the European Theater of Operations. After completing his combat missions he returned to San Angelo to meet his new daughter Judy Gail. The family then moved to Santa Monica, California and later returned to the San Angelo area before moving to a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. While living at the ranch and in Roswell, June was interested in gardening and horticulture. She taught piano lessons, was active in the First Methodist Church, P.E.O. and in Service League. She was a member of The Iris Society and earned many medals for her prize iris.

Joe and June moved back to San Angelo in 1991 and purchased a ranch in partnership with their son Joe A. Mims and his wife Libby. A garden was immediately established for June so that she could continue with her gardening and growing her iris. Although Joe passed away in 1993, June continued to live at the ranch until her recent move back into town in San Angelo.

Her iris will continue to grow in her garden at the ranch which is a constant r e m in d e r t h a t J u n e i s smiling at us through her beautiful flowers.

She is survived by her daughter Judy Mims Sikes and husband Jimmy of San Angelo,Texas, daughter Jan Mims Kirk and husband Tom of Beaumont, Texas, and Dr. Joe A. Mims and wife Libby of San Angelo, Texas. Also grandchildren Jill Shields and husband John of Omaha, Nebraska, Larissa McBride and husband Heath of Brady, Texas, Lesley Fox and husband Jeff of Austin, Texas, Jamie Long and husband Mark of McQuee-

B4 Wednesday, May 13, 2015 Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: We have enjoyed an international dinner club with three other couples for many years. Besides an international theme, we occasionally have other theme dinners. The host couple chooses the country and is responsible for the main course. Another couple brings an associated entree, the third couple brings dessert and the fourth couple provides the wine. We rotate responsibilities so we host only once every four months.

We have become close

Comics friends over many memorable meals together, sharing pregnancy announcements, child rearing, graduations, weddings and anniversaries.

I think a “Dear Abby” dinner would be fun to host, and I’d love to plan a meal around your cookbooks. Would you please advise how this avid reader might get copies?

CHEF MIKE IN CANADA

DEAR CHEF MIKE: I know a Dear Abby dinner party would be enjoyable, because readers have written to tell me they’ve hosted one, and it made for an interesting and fun evening. The recipes are traditional, easy to read, simple to prepare and delicious.

As I mentioned to a reader from Little Rock who inquired about the booklet, one hostess described decorating her place cards with appliqued hearts and tiny flowers. She created a centerpiece by mak-

ing a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to Dear Abby.

Another woman copied questions from past columns, printed them out and made them into a party game, instructing her guests to supply the answers. She said that after a few glasses of wine, some of the answers they came up with were hilarious, but not suitable for printing in a family newspaper.

My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts. The recipes can also be used for holiday celebrations and other special occasions. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. My mother used many of these recipes for dinner parties, and so have I. I particularly recommend the

Pecan Pie recipe — which has been printed in this column before because it has taken prizes at county fairs. It was given to Mama by the chef at the now-demolished Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, and people rave about it.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: Folks always tell me that gals like to be wooed, but when I holler “woo” at them, they give me dirty looks.

What’s up with that?

ABBY FAN FROM TWITTER DEAR FAN: Decades ago, “gals” would have been flattered. But since the women’s movement, many females would regard your attempt to be friendly as a form of sexual harassment rather than a compliment.

Instead of “hollering,” try saying hello and you may get better results.

Some things are not meant to be kept FOREVER! Yes, the experts say that if it’s really pure vanilla extract and is stored properly, it should last for longer than we need it to.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Readers: You came through again! I knew you would. Here are two hints that were sent in about how to keep pie crust from sticking to the pan: • Carol, via email, said: “I find that crusts don’t stick to the pan if you thaw them thoroughly before adding the filling.”

• Roberta H. in Arkansas wrote: “To keep refrigerated pie crust from sticking to your dish, remember to flour the bottom of the crust before putting into the dish, just like you would if you had made it.”

For Better or For Worse

HHHHH Dear Heloise: I grew up loving my mom’s homemade sloppy Joes. To my surprise, when I asked for her recipe, it was just cocktail sauce and ground beef. That’s it! So delicious!

Susan B., via email Isn’t it fun to discover that a family “recipe” is really pretty simple? Cocktail sauce can add just the right “zing” without much effort.

Recipes can be a strong connection, and more so when passed down from generation to generation or shared with friends. There are many of my mother’s recipes that I love and used to put together my Heloise’s All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet to share them. To order one, go online to www.Heloise.com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Collect favorite family recipes in a binder or holder and then make copies to give as gifts to siblings.

Dear Heloise: I buy olive oil in the large cans and find it difficult to get the last bit of oil out. I use a nail to punch a hole in the corner opposite the spout and tilt the can so it drains into a cup. I get 1/3 cup more of oil that way.

David H., Rindge, N.H. Dear Heloise: If you have struggles with resealing those resealable bags that products come in, here is a hint: Turn the bag around so you’re facing the backside of the bag. I struggled with a cat-food bag for months.

On a lark, I turned the front to the rear, and it now works every time with ease.

Not Struggling in Ohio I gave this a try, and it did seem to work! Really not sure why, but who cares?

Could You ‘Bee’ a Winner?

National Geo Bee

2. Which is the term for the treeless biome in high latitudes that has permafrost — tundra or isotherm?

What is geography?

Geography is the study of the features of our planet and the way that human populations affect those features, such as how we use the land and where we live. The word comes from Greek, with “geo” meaning Earth and “graphia” meaning writing.

Beefing up geography The National Geographic Bee is just 26 years old. In 1989, educators were worried that students weren’t learning enough about geography. The National Geographic Society started the bee to let people know how important geography knowledge is and to get kids excited about learning.

3. Which state is larger in area — West Virginia or Florida?

(Answers at the end of the issue.)

Starting with schools

This week, students from every state will meet to compete for the championship of the National Geographic Bee in Washington, D.C. The Mini Page talked with the executive director of the bee to find out more about the contest.

Each year in February, more than 4 million students from schools all across the country compete in their school geography bees. The school bees also take place in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S. Pacific territories, and in the schools for children of U.S. military service members.

Students in grades 5 through 8 can compete in school bees. Did you participate in your school geo bee?

Moving on to state Winners of school bees take a written test. The top 100 scores in each state or territory then compete in a state bee in March.

In May, 54 winners of the state bees travel to Washington with their families to represent their state or territory in the national bee.

National bee contestants receive $100, and their trip to the capital is paid for by the National Geographic Society.

The final round of the 2015 National Geographic Bee will be televised on the National Geographic Channel and public TV stations. Look in your newspaper to find out when it will air in your area.

Tyus Jones

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament is college basketball’s premier event — a 68-team, singleelimination competition to crown the sport’s national champion. With the stakes so high, experience is often an important key to success. But not always.

The Duke University Blue Devils took the court in the championship game with three freshmen in the starting lineup and a fourth coming off the bench. Freshman point guard Tyus Jones led the charge for the Blue Devils, who had powered through the South Region to advance to the school’s 16th Final Four and its 11th championship game appearance.

In the 68-63 victory against the Wisconsin Badgers, Tyus led all scorers with 23 points and helped Duke claim its fifth national title. For his efforts, Tyus was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, becoming the first Duke freshman to win the award, and the sixth overall.

Pickle Eyes

This makes a funny appetizer or snack!

You’ll need: • 4 medium to large dill pickles • 4 slices ham • 4 tablespoons whipped cream cheese • 24 to 32 black olive slices What to do: 1. Dry pickles with a paper towel until all moisture is gone on the outside.

2. Spread 1 tablespoon whipped cream cheese on each slice of ham.

3. Wrap a ham slice around each dry pickle.

4. Chill for 4 hours, then cut each pickle into 6 to 8 round slices.

5. Top each pickle round with a black olive slice to look like an eyeball.

Enjoying the capital

The winners

While contestants and their families are in Washington, D.C., they are invited to participate in many activities as a group. But there’s also time for them to explore the capital and see the sights.

The National Geographic Bee champion wins a $50,000 college scholarship, lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society and a trip for two to the Galápagos islands.

The second-place finisher receives a $25,000 college scholarship, and the student who places third receives a college scholarship of $10,000.

The 2014 winning question: The discovery of a major shale oil deposit in the Vaca Muerta formation in 2010 has led to an expansion of oil drilling in the Neuquén province in what country?

Answer: Argentina. Answers from Page 1: 1. Baffin Island; 2. tundra; 3. Florida

Why do we call contests of knowledge about geography or spelling “bees”? According to Merriam-Webster, this bee is different from the stinging insects we think of when we hear the word.

The Middle English word “bene” meant help given by neighbors in accomplishing a task. People still get together to help each other other assemble a quilt at quilting bees.

Contests of spelling and other subjects can be traced back to the 1600s. You can “bee” a part of this long tradition by participating in your school’s spelling or geography bee!

TMMighty

Funny’s

Contestants study for the geo bee in many different ways. They use maps and atlases. Some form study groups and share the knowledge they have.

National Geographic also provides study guides and an app that anyone can use to improve their geography knowledge.

Questions for bee contestants include many geography subjects, including economics, political systems, physical features of places, questions about cultures and populations, and historical events.

Why “bee”?

Politics

Roswell Daily Record

Trail Translator: They’re all talking ‘income inequality’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Of all the buzzwords and phrases popping up early in the presidential campaign, “income inequality” must be close to the top of the list. And it’s not just Democrats insisting that the nation must deal with it firmly and fast.

While Hillary Rodham Clinton and new primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders are hitting the idea hard, Republican candidates, too, are playing up the notion that people at the bottom of the economic ladder are getting a raw deal while the rich get richer.

Since you’re sure to hear a lot more about income inequality over the next 18 months, here’s a closer look at what it means, where it came from and what the candidates want to do about it.

Definition please

In a nutshell, economic inequality refers to the yawning gap between the income of the richest Americans and everyone else. No one disputes that the gap exists, although there is debate about its size.

There are all kinds of subtexts associated with this idea, among them: stagnating middle-class incomes, increasing economic power for the privileged few, barriers to upward mobility for the poor and a culture of cronyism in Washington that protects the well-connected.

And that churns up feelings of envy, outrage, frustration and despair for candidates to tap into as they try to show they understand the economic angst of the middle class.

Origins

The prominence of the issue has been building, off and on, for years, as the share of total income and wealth claimed by the richest Americans has grown.

Incomes for the highest-earning 1 percent of Americans rose 31 percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation, according to data compiled by Emmanuel Saez, an economist at University of California, Berkeley. For everyone else, it inched up an average of 0.4 percent.

The Occupy protest movement of 2011 and

2012 jump-started a global conversation about the wealth gap, with the rallying cry of “We are the 99 percent.” And everyone from Pope Francis to President Barack Obama picked up on it. In 2013, Obama called economic inequality “the defining challenge of our time.”

Look who’s talking

Just about all the 2016 candidates are chattering about it. And when candidates describe the problem, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish Republicans from Democrats.

See if you can guess who’s sounding off here: 1. “The top 1 percent earn a higher share of our income nationally than any year since 1928. The people who have been hammered ... are working men and women.”

2. “While the average person is working longer hours for lower wages, we have seen a huge increase in income and wealth inequality, which is now reaching obscene levels.”

3. “The economy is booming for people at the top. It is not booming for the bottom 90 percent of the workforce in America.

The bottom 90 percent, which is most of America, has had stagnant wages for 40 years.”

4. “The deck is still stacked in favor of those already at the top. And there’s something wrong with that. There’s something wrong when CEOs make 300 times more than the typical worker.”

5. “Wage stagnation is happening at a time when the cost of everything is going up dramatically. And it’s not just that the cost of everything is going up, we have expenses we didn’t used to have.”

6. “The policy aim of government absolutely should be that government should not contribute to income inequality.”

The solution?

There will be huge

In this May 6 photo, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. debate on this over the next year and a half, and Republicans and Democrats offer far different solutions.

In general, Republicans like to stress upward mobility — giving those at the bottom more opportunity to move up — rather than taking something away from those at the top.

“The American people tend not to be envious people,” says Mike Needham, head of the conservative Heritage Action for America. “People are worried about their opportunity to succeed.”

Democrats are inclined to look at increasing taxes for those at the top to allow government to do more for those below.

“It’s very difficult to do much about the middle class and the poor without tapping some of the wealth and income at the very top, or at least changing the structure of the economy so that so much wealth and income don’t percolate upward,” says Robert Reich, who served as Bill Clinton’s labor secretary.

Most of the candidates are still fleshing out their economic proposals. But they’ve already thrown plenty of ideas in the mix, circling back to classic debates over taxation and the proper role of government.

Sanders wants to make the wealthy pay more taxes. Rubio’s pushing a big tax cut to spur growth.

Clinton has criticized excessive CEO pay and wants to raise the minimum wage. Cruz wants a “simple flat tax.” Paul pushes “economic free-

dom zones” offering lower taxes in distressed areas.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush wants to give people more opportunities for “earned success.” Christie wants to cut income and corporate tax rates while changing deductions and credits.

Odds anything will change?

Obama said Tuesday he hopes growing awareness of inequality will help bridge the ideological divide over how to address it. At the same time, progressive Democrats who want to close the gap released a wide-ranging policy agenda, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts saying it was time to fight those who “want the game to stay rigged.”

But skepticism abounds. Sanders questions whether Clinton or any of the Republicans are ready to take on the “big-money interests who control so much of our economy.” Paul thinks Democratic policies make income inequality worse.

Carly Fiorina, the former technology executive who recently joined the GOP nomination race, says it will take someone from outside Washington to fix things.

Whatever the odds and the hurdles, people are more than ready for a change: For the past 30 years, Gallup reports, polls have consistently found that six in 10 Americans believe the way income and wealth are distributed in the U.S. is unfair.

Iraq war still casts shadow over GOP White House hopefuls WASHINGTON (AP) — More than a decade after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the wisdom of that war still casts a shadow over the Republican candidates for president as they try to stake out a more muscular foreign policy than President Barack Obama.

Most of the GOP White House hopefuls argue that Obama overcorrected after ending the long and expensive war by pulling out American forces so completely, yet are mindful that many Americans remain skeptical of largescale U.S. combat efforts abroad.

With the U.S. back in Iraq in a more limited way to help fight Islamic State militants, Obama’s successor is all but sure to confront lingering fallout from the original invasion and its aftermath.

Tackling America’s difficult history in Iraq is most challenging for Jeb Bush, whose brother, former President George W. Bush, pursued the Iraq war in 2003. Bush has sought to distance himself from his brother’s foreign policy, even as he relies on many of the same advisers and cites his brother someone

he relies on for advice.

Bush appeared to get tripped up by his tightrope walk this week. Asked if he would have approved of the invasion given what is now known about the faulty intelligence that influenced his brother’s decision, he said he would have made the same decision under the same circumstances.

“Just for the news flash to the world, if they’re trying to find places where there’s big space between me and my brother, this might not be one of those.”

Bush said in a Fox News interview that aired Monday.

A Bush spokeswoman would not say Tuesday how Bush would answer the original question. He was expected to address the matter on Fox anchor Sean Hannity’s radio show Tuesday evening.

A September 2014 AP-GfK poll found that 71 percent of Americans said they think history will judge the war as a failure.

Among Republicans, that assessment was even more prevalent, with 76 percent saying the war would be seen a failure.

While Bush’s place in

the debate is unique given his family history, the Iraq war remains a touchstone for his Republican rivals.

How a candidate views both the invasion and subsequent handling of the conflict, including the rampant unrest in Iraq that followed Obama’s full withdrawal of American troops in 2011, is often seen as a window into their broader foreign policy philosophy.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, said going into Iraq was ultimately the wrong decision.

“If we knew then what we know now, and I were the president of the United States, I wouldn’t have gone to war,” Christie said.

“But we don’t get to replay history.”

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who favors a smaller U.S. military footprint in the world, said last month that it “was a mistake” to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. But Florida Sen. Marco Rubio defended the war earlier this year, saying “the world is a better place because Saddam Hussein doesn’t run Iraq.”

Representatives for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Texas Gov. Rick

Perry, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former technology executive Carly Fiorina did not respond to inquiries Tuesday about whether they would have authorized the war based on what is now known about the intelligence.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee declined to address the question directly, but issued a statement to The Associated Press praising soldiers who “poured their sweat and blood across Iraq.”

“Unfortunately, they were let down by poor intelligence, a botched military strategy and an Iraqi people more interested in pointing fingers and placing blame than taking control of their future,” Huckabee said.

Shawn Brimley, who worked as a national security official in the Obama White House, said Republicans are blaming Obama for the consequences of their own party’s failure.

“This all stems from the decision to invade,” said Brimley, a vice president at the Center for a New American Security.

Christie calls for tax cuts in economic policy speech NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie proposed cutting income and corporate tax rates Tuesday as part of a plan to return the U.S. “to its pro-growth roots and its pro-growth policies” and bolster the middle class.

He called for simplifying what he described as a bloated tax code by reducing the number of income tax rates from six to three.

He also called for reducing the top income tax rate from nearly 40 percent to no higher than 28 percent and cutting the corporate tax rate by 10 percentage points, from the current 35 percent to 25 percent.

The likely Republican presidential contender laid out ideas in a Wall Street Journal article and a speech at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester in his latest foray into the early-voting state.

He chided the economic policies of President Barack Obama, blaming him for a weak economic recovery that has left the incomes of middle-class families stagnant.

“From its inception, this administration has been focused much more on redistribution of wealth than on creating more wealth for middle-class citizens in America,” he told his audience.

While Democrats have expressed increasing alarm at the gap between the

incomes of the very rich and everyone else, Republican contenders have also been embracing the issue and pushing back against the perception that their party cares only about the wealthy.

“I will not attack or vilify those who have been successful, but America now needs leaders who will fight for our middle class by growing all of the economy and unleashing the opportunities that will come with growth,” Christie said.

He said his tax cuts would be paid for by eliminating or changing deductions and credits, but did not give details.

Christie also proposed eliminating the payroll tax for workers under age 21 to encourage young people to enter the job market.

He said federal regulations should be cut and the Keystone XL pipeline built.

His plan drew criticism from Democrats, who said New Jersey’s lagging economic recovery is no model for the nation.

“With so many questions, we can only refer to Chris Christie’s economic record in New Jersey for answers, and those answers are pretty terrible for the middle class,” said Kaylie Hanson, speaking for the Democratic National Committee.

Christie says he will decide by the end of June whether to run for president.

4 things to know about Bill Clinton’s paid speeches WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department gave speedy, near-blanket approval to hundreds of lucrative appearances by former President Bill Clinton during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. Five things to know about a review of records on this matter by The Associated Press:

Big profits, limiting vetting

Officials in the State Department’s Office of the Legal Adviser approved at least 330 requests for Bill Clinton’s appearance at speeches, dinners and events. More than 220 of those were paid events that earned the family nearly $50 million, according to the review of State Department documents and Hillary Clinton’s financial disclosure forms.

While the State Department’s lawyers concluded that most of Clinton’s speeches did not violate foreign policy interests, some of his appearances could pose political risk for his wife’s presidential bid by giving Republican opponents an opening to depict the couple as beholden to powerful interests. Over a threeday whirlwind of travel in November 2011, for example, Bill Clinton addressed telecom executives in Hong Kong, flew to Shanghai for an event with Chinese business leaders and touched down in Disney World to speak with customers of an Indian outsourcing company, who gathered in Orlando for their annual meeting. His total haul: $1.56 million.

An office under strain

Officials at the State Department sped through the requests while rarely raising concerns about potential conflicts. At the same time, the agency’s ethics office, which had primary responsibility for the decisions, was hobbled by “strained program operations,” according to a September 2012 report by the Office of Government Ethics, the top U.S. ethics agency.

While most internal emails between State Department ethics officials about Bill Clinton’s proposed appearances were redacted to protect internal

legal considerations, snippets that survived the censoring depict a vetting process that appeared both stressed by the workload and rushed by the former president’s deadlines.

Who heard from Bill Clinton?

Clinton spoke to companies across the globe, among them foreign governments and several financial firms under legal scrutiny.

For example, he collected $650,000 from Barclays, speaking in Davos and Singapore, just months after the British bank agreed to pay nearly $300 million in penalties for violating financial sanctions against Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Libya and Burma — the result of a case brought by the Justice Department.

The legal issue had hardly been a secret: Barclays had acknowledged in its annual reports — as recently as the same month that Clinton first requested approval for the appearances from the State Department in March 2010 — that it was under investigation by the Justice Department and others for sanctions violations.

Clinton loyalists dominate process

On all sides, the process involved lawyers with long ties to the Clinton family. Cheryl Mills was Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department and was frequently included on the other end of emails during the State Department review of the requests. Mills was a former White House deputy counsel who collaborated with the family’s personal lawyer, David Kendall, on Bill Clinton’s impeachment legal defense before working for Hillary Clinton at the State Department. Kendall helped develop the vetting process for Clinton’s appearances, sending a memo to the State Department outlining the policy in January 2009.

Less than a month after Hillary Clinton was confirmed, a request to approve some of Bill Clinton’s proposed private consulting work was sent by his longtime personal aide Doug Band.
