County medical marijuana sales on the rise

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

The medical marijuana industry with Chaves County operations is now a multimillion-dollar enterprise and the number of active patients has more than doubled in a year, but the area remains a small part of the state business sector, according to third-quarter 2017 data from the state.

The New Mexico Department of Health has regulated the industry since medical use of marijuana was legalized in 2007 and regularly provides information about licensed distributors, growers and manufacturers.

The average number of Chaves County residents with medical cards for cannabis each month in 2017 now totals about 1,334, according to an October report from the state.

The state average is 44,080. That makes Chaves County sixth among the state’s 33 counties. Bernalillo County has the most patients, 15,490.

In June 2016, active medical card holders in

Chaves County has more than 1,330 people with cards for medical marijuana, and the two dispensaries with outlets here, including Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals, recorded 7,011 patient transactions in Chaves, Lincoln, and Eddy counties during the third quarter of 2017.

for the two operations for the third quarter of 2016, prior to the official opening of Pecos Valley Pharmaceuticals.

For the entire year of 2016, sales for the dispensaries totaled $2.4 million.

So far this year, sales have grown to $3.3 million.

Statewide, sales at 67 dispensaries were $22.1 million for July through September 2017, with 110,072 patient transactions. That compared to $13.6 million in sales and 79,279 patient purchases for the same period in 2016.

So far this year, sales statewide total $62.2 million, which is well above sales for the entire year in 2016 when they were $49.8 million.

The state now authorizes the use of medical marijuana for 20 health conditions, with physicians able to seek authorization to prescribe it for other medical concerns.

Berrendo Middle School shooting victim to meet ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ cast

By Trevier Gonzalez Roswell Daily Record

Having spent so much time in a hospital, one wouldn’t expect someone to have much of an interest in the medical field, but for Nathaniel Tavarez, it’s not only a passion, but a prominent theme within his favorite television series.

Thanks to the MakeA-Wish Foundation, the Berrendo Middle School shooting victim will be getting the chance to meet the cast of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” in California next week.

Tavarez, now a Goddard High School junior, told the Daily Record Friday evening at his sendoff party he was introduced to the TV show by his sister.

Since then, he’s been hooked.

“Ever since I first started

watching Grey’s Anatomy, I’ve always wanted to meet them,” Tavarez said. “Now that it’s coming to reality — that’s amazing.”

Tavarez said he’s particularly drawn to Ellen Pompeo’s portrayal of Meredith Grey.

“She makes the show,” he said. “If she were to disappear, that would be the end of it.”

The former Berrendo Middle School student was joined by family members, friends, and teachers — past and present.

“That’s who he wanted to be here, was his teachers,” said mother Donna Tavarez. “They’re very, very involved with him and they’ve helped him tremendously throughout this whole ordeal, and that’s who he wanted to invite.”

Nathaniel Tavarez explained that his educa-

Nathaniel Tavarez reads a card made out to him while at his send off party before he and his family travel to Los Angeles, California to meet the cast of “Grey’s Anatomy” as part of his wish with the MakeA-Wish Foundation. Tavarez, now a junior at Goddard High School, was one of the two victims of the Berrendo Middle School shooting in 2014. On Friday evening, Tavarez was joined with family members, friends and RISD teachers at Roswell’s Red Lobster to celebrate his wish being granted.

tors helped develop him.

“The teachers that I invited today, those are my best friends,” Nathaniel Tavarez said. “They’ve helped me through everything. They’re the reason why I am where I am today.”

Reading teacher Sherry Armbruster and security official Kevin Hayes, both of BMS, said the shooting had created a bond between them and Tavarez.

“Kevin and I got to know Nathaniel very well after he was injured at Berrendo Middle School,” Armbruster said. “We became very close with Nathaniel and had built a really good relationship.

“He is kind of a hero to us, and we just — respect him, so much, and his whole wonderful family.”

The HeART of Winter Show

By Christina Stock Roswell Daily Record

One of the most popular booths during this year’s HeART of Winter — Arts and Language Arts Extravaganza at Berrendo Middle School on Thursday evening was the cookie decorating booth. Anybody could pick up their favorite icing color and get to work creating their edible masterworks.

Today’s Forecast

HIGH 70 LOW 42

This is the third year that organizer and art teacher Jeanette Main held the art show, HeART of Winter — Arts and Language Arts Extravaganza at Berrendo Middle School.

“Just setting everything up is a challenge and then getting everything organized,” Main said. “It is teaching me a lot about putting things together and putting little groups together to make a bigger program like this.”

This year’s show included the language arts program, the exploratory program, music arts and visual arts.

“For the art part alone I have approximately 140 students,” Main said. “We have at least that many pieces and more, because I have some students that actually put more in.

I estimated to have 175 pieces this year.”

While parents, friends and family admired the work of the students that was displayed, the children paid the most attention to the center of the room where the Teacher’s Staff Challenge was held. Ten of BMS’ teachers competed against each other in a 30 minute paint contest under the watchful eye, and occasional guidance, of their young students.

“They have 30 minutes

to create anything they want to,” Main said. “If it’s still life or anything else, it’s whatever they want to create on canvas. The audience, by applause, will determine who the winner is.”

Ashley Stroud won the paint contest, despite the fact that language arts teacher Ray Gutierrez challenged the outcome. The playful banter that followed between the teachers made the children and adults laugh.

Gutierrez is looking forward to a rematch next year.

Albuquerque’s new mayor takes helm

ALBUQUERQUE — Democrat Tim Keller took over as mayor of New Mexico’s largest city Friday amid rising crime and a struggling economy.

The former New Mexico state auditor officially became mayor ahead of a ceremonial inauguration and promised to immediately make changes to Albuquerque’s troubled police department.

“As your mayor, I’m dedicated to making the city of Albuquerque a safe, innovative and inclusive community,” Keller wrote on the city’s website.

“This includes returning to community policing, focusing on behavioral health and substance abuse issues, and hiring

more front-line police officers and first responders.

Keller has already made appointments including tapping former Rio Rancho Police Chief Mike Geier as Albuquerque’s interim chief and civil rights lawyer Oriana Sandoval as deputy city attorney. Keller said Sandoval will focus on immigrants and refugees in the city.

Keller held a private swearing-in ceremony Thursday. An invitation-only ceremony was scheduled for Friday evening at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Keller replaces Mayor Richard Berry, a Republican, who did not seek re-election after eight years in office.

of McGaffey Street project

By Todd Wildermuth Public Information Officer

The final phase of McGaffey Street improvements begin. The project is resurfacing the roadway and making Americans with Disabilities Act improvements between Union and Richardson avenues.

There will be some lane closures and traffic rerouting on a section of West McGaffey Street beginning Dec. 4, as the second phase of a street-improvement project is underway.

The project, which began in late summer, is resurfacing about nine blocks of the roadway and improving pedestrian-area intersection access for people with disabilities.

Phase 1 of the project made improvements to intersection access, which is in compliance with the federal ADA. Federal regulations require municipalities to implement ADA improvements to sidewalks

and similar areas associated with a street or road where other significant repairs or improvements are being made.

Phase 2 will complete work on the city-funded $597,000 project between Union and Richardson avenues. Contractor crews will remove three inches of pavement from the street, and then lay down a new three inches of pavement.

The project will be completed with the placement of road striping and other markings.

The pavement work is expected to take between two weeks to a month to complete. Motorists are asked to seek alternate routes and be aware of delays and traffic congestion that may exist during the pavement-rehabilitation work.

General

By Eric Tucker and Chad Day Associated Press WASHINGTON — Michael Flynn, the retired general who vigorously campaigned at Donald Trump’s side and then served as his first national security adviser, pleaded guilty Friday to lying to the FBI about reaching out to the Russians on Trump’s behalf and said members of the president’s inner circle were intimately involved with — and at times directing — his contacts.

His plea to a single felony count of false statements made him the first official of the Trump White House to be charged so far in the criminal investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.

And his action could be an ominous sign for a White House shadowed for the past year by investigations, turning Flynn into a potentially key government cooperator as prosecutors examine whether the Trump campaign and Russia worked together to influence the 2016 presidential election in Trump’s favor.

Friday’s developments don’t resolve the paramount question of possible Trump-Russia coordination in the campaign, but they do show that Flynn lied to the FBI about multiple conversations last December with the Russian ambassador to the United States. Court papers make clear that senior Trump transition officials were fully aware of Flynn’s outreach to Russian officials in the weeks before the inauguration.

The officials were not named in court papers, but people familiar with the case identified two of them to The Associated Press as Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, and former Deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland, now up for an ambassadorship.

That revelation moves the Russia investigation deeper into the White House. And, given the direct involvement of the transition team in Flynn’s calls with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, the plea also raises questions about the accuracy of repeated assertions by the administration that Flynn had misled Mike Pence and other officials when he denied having discussed sanctions with the diplomat.

Flynn, the longtime soldier, stood quietly during his plea hearing except to answer brief questions from the judge.

He accepted responsibility for his actions in a written statement, though

Wish Continued from Page A1

The reading teacher was at the gymnasium along with Tavarez when the 2014 shooting began.

“It was a long time, but sometimes it seems like just yesterday,” Armbruster said. “It amazes me how quickly the time has passed and how Nathaniel has grown up so much.”

Hayes, reflecting on Tavarez’s wish, said seeing it actually come to life is incredible.

“I’m really happy to see his wish come true,” Hayes said. “I know he’s going to have a great time, and I would really like to go with him too.”

Armbruster, also filled with excitement, noted that Tavarez has big plans to have a career in the medical field. She said his interest in the medical drama just makes sense.

“In the past few years, everything that Nathaniel has been through regarding hospitals and the doctors, visits, and stuff, he has really gotten a passion for medicine,” Armbruster said. “I think that’s a big component of why ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ has been such an important part of his life — besides the fact that he’s in love with Meredith.”

Nathaniel Tavarez said he’ll be able to meet the entire cast of “Grey’s Anatomy” on Monday.

KRQE News, who was also present at the sendoff party, asked Nathaniel Tavarez if he would be able to get any sleep with all of the excitement.

“Probably not, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep up there,” he laughed. “It makes me nervous, but so excited that I’m going to be able to meet the cast.”

The Goddard High student said he was thankful for the Make-A-Wish Foundation for making his dream become a reality.

“They’re the only ones that could have made that happen,” Nathaniel Tava-

he said he had also been subjected to false accusations. He said, “My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel’s Office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and of our country.”

A former Defense Intelligence Agency chief, Flynn was a considerably more vocal Trump surrogate during the campaign, known for leading rally crowds in “Lock her up” chants regarding Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Though prosecutors also had investigated Flynn lobbying work on behalf of the Turkish government, the fact that he was permitted to plead guilty to just one count, and faces a guideline range of zero to 6 months in prison, suggest that prosecutors see him as a valuable tool in their investigation and are granting a degree of leniency in exchange for cooperation.

White House lawyer Ty Cobb sought to distance the plea from Trump himself, saying: “Nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than Mr. Flynn.”

Nonetheless, the Russia investigation has persistently followed Trump the first year of his presidency, angering the president and repeatedly distracting from his agenda. Flynn’s plea came as Republican senators labored to pass a far-reaching tax bill, which would be a significant victory for Trump.

On Friday, the president ignored reporters’ shouted questions as he welcomed the Libyan prime minister to the White House, and aides canceled media access to a later meeting between the two. He did appear briefly at an afternoon White House holiday reception for the media, where he offered season’s greetings and departed without addressing the Mueller investigation.

Early on in his administration, Trump had taken a particular interest in the status of the Flynn investigation. Former FBI Director James Comey, whose firing in May precipitated the appointment of Mueller as special counsel, has said Trump asked him in a private Oval Office meeting to consider ending the investigation into Flynn. Comey has said he found the encounter so shocking that he prepared an internal memo about it.

rez said. “Without them, I mean — this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Thinking back on the 2014 shooting, Nathaniel, who is blind in one eye and has partial vision in the other, said he was at first hesitant of telling reporters his story.

“But I feel like getting it out would help,” he said. “(I thought) letting other people see it, it would help them as well.”

Nathaniel Tavarez said he also wanted to extend his thanks to Ms. Gibson, Ms. Gutierrez, Ms. Reyes, Ms. Romero, Ms. Armbruster and Mr. Hayes.

“Ms. Romero is actually teaching me how to read braille,” he said. “Ms. Reyes, she’s the most amazing counselor. Ms. Gibson and Ms. Gutierrez and Ms. Romero — they’re my support group. All of them are my support group.

“After it all happened, I mean, it was an instant bond, you know? It’ll never be broken, that’s for sure.”

Joe Vargas, wish granter based out of Ruidoso for the Make-A-Wish Foundation explained that Tavarez’s wish will be one to remember.

“The whole family gets to go with him and — it a lot of good memories,” Vargas said. “That’s the whole idea of Make-A-Wish — to get these kids and their families a time where they don’t have to worry or think about hospitals or doctors or medicine, and just go have a good family time.”

The Tavarez family extended appreciation toward the foundation, as well as Berrendo Middle School staff and the medical personnel that had helped Nathaniel Tavarez.

“Everybody has really pulled together and has made it possible for Nathaniel,” Donna Tavarez said. “We really appreciate it.”

Our society has become poisoned toward color I was in the post office the other day mailing some packages. The line was moving slowly, and around me others went about their business of sending out mail or picking up newly arrived parcels.

On the other side of the long counter where I waited, a young couple was struggling with getting their prepaid envelopes addressed correctly, or with determining the correct postage.

But either way, they were back and forth as they tried to complete their task.

At one point, this couple who appeared to be from another country stopped across the counter and the young woman mentioned to the two older men ahead of me that they were in the process of mailing out passports.

After they left, I heard one gentleman say to the other, “You know, it’s people like them who are coming into this country and murdering God-fearing Christians.” I was stunned when I heard this and even more shocked to hear the man ahead of him agree to this obvious racial slur about two people they knew nothing about, or the

Jose Mike Jimenez

Writing Roswell origin of their country, much less their religion, or whether they were indeed terrorists looking to kill innocent “God -fearing Christians.”

I regret not saying anything at the time, but this conversation between two older Anglo-American men was so typical of what is exactly wrong with our society today. We live in fear of anything we feel strange and outside of our own known borders. I could say the same about anyone who says the Mexican immigrants are taking all the jobs and the biggest reason for today’s unemployment.

Really, last time I looked, very few native-born Americans want to wade in water up to their knees in freezing weather to make minimum wage. Also, how many times have you looked out

over the fields surrounding Roswell, Dexter, Lake Arthur and Artesia — have you not seen anything but a brown face slaving away in the fields for minimum wage or less?

Don’t fool yourself into thinking the age of bigotry, racial injustice or hatred for people of color is over. I’ve written before of how my own sister and her African-American friends were treated less than others who weren’t of color as they tried to celebrate the birthday of one of their party in Ruidoso, no less.

I also related previously how I, too, felt the sting of someone’s actions only because I happen to be an American of Mexican/ Hispanic descent.

I’m sure this young couple they were accusing of being killers knew nothing of the hatred coming their way, but I can assure you they have felt it before in other circumstances, with the only reason being their place of birth. How poisoned has our society become when all one needs is to be different in order to be considered a threat? This is not an idle question since we see activity all across our nation as people

of color are singled out for no other reason than the shade of their skin.

The harsh reality is there is hatred across the border by not only those who would be considered Anglo-American, but from native-born people of color as well. There has always been a division prevalent in the society I live in when it comes to those Latinos born here against those who were from Mexico, whether they came here legally or illegally.

I have heard racial slurs from my own kind as they refer to those from Mexico and I am just as angry when I hear these comments as I was when I heard those from the two in the Post Office.

I presented an academic paper once at the University of Arizona about this very topic.

One of the researchers I quoted spoke of the way the United States has of assimilating people and cultures and then creating this hatred for anyone outside of that assimilation.

Either way, I find it absolutely distasteful when anyone looks at another and assumes they are enemies only because of the

color of their skin, the speech they use, or the features that make up their faces.

I have to ask you if you truly feel we are beyond this racial hatred, or if we are hiding beneath this veil of supposed acceptance of others when in reality we use the curtain to hide our prejudices? I hope you are more courageous than I was if you ever hear anyone label total strangers as murderers without a shred of evidence to support the label they happen to be attaching.

Unfortunately, I am one of those who needs time to digest what I hear and if I were to blurt out what I was thinking in the moment, I more than likely would have been arrested for starting a riot in a government building. How about if the next time you see someone who isn’t like you, then you offer a hand, instead of an insult!

Guest Editorial

Listen up, fellow cellphone zombies The Jacksonville Daily News

For years now, the perils of texting while walking have been alarmingly clear. Just check out all the videos of people falling into fountains, bumping into walls or getting clipped by turning cars while their eyes are riveted to the screen.

Everyone is aware. Few change their behavior.

OK, no one does. Confession: Some of us on the Tribune Editorial Board are among those distracted sidewalk texters.

What to do? Lawmakers in Honolulu and elsewhere have alighted on a solution: Pass a law! Outlaw texting or talking on a smartphone in crosswalks and ticket violators.

We’d like to say that Chicago officials snorted with derision -- this is Chicago, home of jaywalkers! -- and dismissed such foolishness as a potential distraction for police who have far more important duties.

Unfortunately, not. Ald. Edward Burke, 14th, and Anthony Beale, 9th, propose to slap fines of up to $500 on pedestrians caught texting or using a cellphone while walking through an intersection.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he is studying the “distracted walking” issue.

“Everybody does it, and then everybody’s irritated when somebody else does it,” he says. Exactly.

We don’t dismiss the dangers of walking while texting. People do get hurt.

They veer off course or dawdle while the light changes. Or they step into the crosswalk prematurely. With smartphones ramping up ever-more attractive and addictive features to rivet attention, this promises to get worse.

Remember the Pokemon Go! craze a couple of years ago? People hunted characters such as Pikachu and Squirtle on the streets and elsewhere in the real world. There were wipeouts. The game was so absorbing that people fell into holes, twisted ankles, took nasty skateboard spills, bounded into revolving doors and trees.

But enforcing such a law looks to be virtually impossible. And $500? We think this proposal belongs with other well-intentioned but goofy aldermanic notions, including the famous attempt to put diapers on carriage horses.

Crossing the street in Chicago demands quick instincts and exquisite leg-eye coordination. Some drivers think the pedestrian crosswalk is for target practice. Others just keep creeping into the crosswalk to menace walkers, as if they should have the right-turn-on-red right-of-way at all times. (This is where certain hand gestures prove handy.)

Bulletin to all you people at the wheel of a 4,000-pound vehicle: You are supposed to yield to the people on two legs, even if their noses are buried in a smartphone.

Other sidewalk hazards abound. In the winter, ice and slush pool at the curb to create a steeple-jump situation for daredevil walkers.

Refraining from texting or talking distractedly, particularly in crosswalks, is a spectacularly good idea. We wish more people would do that. We’ve almost collided with some of them.

So watch where you’re going, everyone.

And, yes, we’ll try to take our own advice.

Consider change in our winner-take-all system

S

ILVER CITY — Several months ago, I used this space to explain why our country would be better off with a multi-party parliamentary system of government, rather than our current two-party system.

Donald Trump’s performance in office brings that subject up for me again because, in a parliamentary system, it’s possible to get rid of an incompetent chief executive by a no-confidence vote of the legislature, which triggers new elections. High crimes, misdemeanors and impeachment aren’t required to shed a loser. There’s also no need to wait four years between elections to make changes.

Actually, if we had a parliamentary system, Trump almost positively wouldn’t have become president, even though the Republicans won the election. In that system of government, when new elections are held, voters vote for their choice of representative, and the party that elects the most members selects their leader. There are no endless primaries and debates — the party picks the person they

Local news ...

Silver City Daily Press

Guest Column think will do the best job.

That’s not a totally new thing in our country, since political parties used to pick their candidates in “smoky rooms,” rather than through primary elections.

The duration and cost of our elections were we to adopt, say, the British system, would go down to an insignificant amount of money in comparison to what is spent in our country now. British national elections are over in about 60 days, campaign money is doled out to all parties by the government, there’s a 30 day or so window for spending it, and TV advertising is prohibited. Private political contributions for the campaign aren’t allowed.

The total bill for the last British general election was about $30 million.

Since one party doesn’t get a majority of the votes

in many parliamentary style elections, the winner is forced to put together a coalition, using the votes of one or more of the smaller parties.

This forces something that’s rare in our system these days — compromise in establishing policy and enacting laws. It’s not a winner-takes-all system.

On the downside, parliamentary systems of government in politically unstable countries have led to a revolving door at the top, with not much accomplished as a result. It’s working quite nicely, though, in the major developed countries that use it — Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, etc.

Changing our system, although no doubt possible, would be a real challenge. For starters, the state-by-state laws controlling what a political party has to do to qualify for the ballot, which is currently established by the party in control of each state, would have to go. National rules that aren’t overly onerous would be required.

The big problem, though, would be money. PACs, lobbyists, billionaires with an ax to

grind and others who attempt to buy influence wouldn’t be happy with the change. The media, advertising agencies, consultants and campaign staffers, for whom our twoyear-long presidential election cycles are a huge cash cow, wouldn’t go down without a fight either.

Along with my feeling that the efforts to scuttle Obamacare are speeding up our move toward a single-payer health care system, I’m also hopeful that our current partisan, acrimonious, uncivil and pretty much totally dysfunctional national political scene may, at some time, actually get us to think about the possibility of there being a better way to do things.

I am not, however, holding my breath.

Tax policy is walk through a minefield

T When to seek emergency medical help for flu

T

he flu virus continues to spread across the U.S., with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention closely tracking the number of confirmed cases and urging stringent precautions to minimize its impact.

Eastern New Mexico Medical Center continues to see flu-symptomatic patients in the emergency room and patients have been admitted for treatment of flu-related complications.

While most people will be able to endure the flu’s effects on their bodies and recover, others are at high risk for suffering complications and needing emergency intervention. Individuals at a higher risk include babies and children, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems, and individuals with lung disease – such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

“Beyond feeling miserable, flu can develop into something much more serious, particularly for individuals who are at higher risk,” said Howard Watson, RN, Director of Infection Control. “It’s important for these individuals to be monitored closely so they receive timely medical help if needed.”

Unlike a cold, the flu typically comes on suddenly. The most common symptoms are fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea.

If you suspect you have the flu virus, the CDC recommends seeking care from your doctor or an urgent care clinic, where you can be tested and receive a prescription for antiviral medication to minimize the intensity and duration of your symptoms. These medications work best when taken within 48 hours of becoming ill, but can still be beneficial when given later in the course of ill-

Howard Watson Doctor’s Corner ness.

When you or someone for whom you’re caring experiences any of the following symptoms – the CDC recommends seeking help from the closest emergency department:

Infants

• Trouble breathing; • No tears when crying; • Significantly fewer wet diapers than normal.

Children

• Fast breathing or trouble breathing; • Bluish skin color; • Not drinking enough fluids; • Not waking up or not interacting; • Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held; • Symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough; • Fever with a rash.

Adults

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; • Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen; • Sudden dizziness; • Confusion; • Severe or persistent vomiting; • Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough.

“Flu can become deadly, so it’s important to act promptly if these symptoms appear,” said Watson. “And it’s still not too late to get a flu shot this year, which can lessen your chances of getting sick.”

After mistrial, Sen. Bob Menendez again requests for charges to be thrown out NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Two weeks after his bribery trial ended in a hung jury, Sen. Bob Menendez renewed his request to have the charges thrown out.

Attorneys filed the motion Thursday on behalf of the New Jersey Democrat and his co-defendant and friend, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen.

Menendez is charged with accepting free flights on a private jet and luxury vacations from Melgen in exchange for using his political influence with executive branch officials. He has repeatedly denied the charges since the indictment was handed up in mid-2015.

After an 11-week trial that began in early September, jurors deliberated for seven days without reaching a verdict before U.S. District Judge William Walls declared a mistrial on Nov. 16. Several jurors said afterward that as many as 10 members of the panel favored acquittal.

The Department of Justice hasn’t announced whether it plans to retry the two men. A department spokeswoman didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.

Walls already denied a defense motion for acquittal during the trial, rejecting arguments that the prosecution had failed to show connections between Melgen’s gifts and Menendez’s actions.

In their letter to Walls on Thursday, defense attorneys wrote that “scrutiny of the evidence remains warranted, especially given the press statements by jurors and alternates about the lack of proof.”

Menendez, a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who has been in the Senate since 2006, is up for re-election next year and is expected to run, though he hasn’t officially announced his candidacy.

rying to follow the tax-cut debate in the nation’s capital is a nightmare of being trapped in a roomful of accountants.

Asked if the proposed changes are good for you and good for New Mexico, they answer, “Depends.”

It depends on which tax bracket you’re in and which credits or deductions or exemptions you’ve taken.

So when Sen. Tom Udall, a Democrat, says, “This Republican tax plan is full of inequity,” and Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican, says, it “provides relief for lowerand middle-income families,” they’re both correct. Sort of.

The nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy broke out the numbers by state. In 2019 three-fourths of the poorest 20 percent of New Mexicans (average annual income, $12,600) would pay $130 less, while 5 percent of the poorest would pay $20 more.

By comparison, 99 percent of the richest 1 percent of New Mexicans (average annual income, $1.2 million) would pay $29,180 less, while 1 percent of the richest would pay $20,660 more.

Sherry Robinson All She Wrote Of New Mexicans in the middle (average annual income, $74,400 a year), 95 percent would pay $1,460 less while 4 percent would pay $990 more.

The House passed its bill, but the Senate bill is still changing. At this writing, the Senate version would eliminate deductions for state and local income and sales taxes, property taxes, mortgage interest, charitable donations, medical costs, and student loans. It would double the standard exemption, which might compensate for the lost deductions. It would also repeal the estate tax for the wealthy and give corporations a break. And, yes, the deficit will spike, along with the national debt.

(Funny the way jacking up the deficit is OK as long as it supports either party’s agenda.)

Under the bill that left the

Senate Finance Committee on Nov. 16, 19 states (not New Mexico) and at least 29 percent of Americans would pay more in federal taxes in 2027, the institute found.

The poorest three-fifths of Americans would pay more and the richest 40 percent would receive a tax cut.

Tax cuts for individuals would expire in 2025, according to the institute, and an inflation adjustment called “chained CPI” would gradually shift people into higher income tax brackets as several deductions, exemptions, and credits shrink. Finally, fewer people would receive tax credits under the Affordable Care Act to pay their insurance premiums.

You begin to see the complexity. One reason tax reform is so tricky is that every time Congress moves a number this way or that, it’s bad for some constituents and good for others.

Richard Anklam, executive director of the New Mexico Tax Research Institute, told legislators recently that tax cuts are not necessarily tax reforms. You might get a tax break but still face the same

maddening tangle of rules on your tax form. He warned that removing deductions would increase income taxable by the state, so people might see a slight reduction in federal taxes but an increase in state taxes.

As for New Mexico, the state’s personal and corporate income taxes are based on the federal taxes and may be vulnerable to federal changes. Data presented recently to the legislative Revenue Stabilization and Tax Policy Committee indicate the state could suffer a revenue hit from tax cuts in the federal tax measures.

Depending on how Congress goes about delivering its tax cuts, the bills could deliver more money to the state’s general fund. That’s because the state won’t feel changes in brackets or tax rates but will feel the loss of deductions and exemptions.

It’s a political see-saw.

Whether you’re up or down just depends.

Better late than never — not always the case

T

he English poet of the Middle Ages, Geoffrey Chaucer, is generally credited with coining the phrase that has been updated in modern English to read, “better late than never.” It means to do something or to arrive later than expected may not be good, but it is better than not at all.

That may not be true in the case of former President Bill Clinton’s enablers and apologists for his sexual misdeeds before and after winning the White House.

At a time when people in the media, Congress and the entertainment industry are being exposed for allegedly -- and in some cases admittedly -- sexually harassing and assaulting women, the failure of President Clinton’s cabinet and staff to confront him on his misbehavior is only now being dealt with in light of other incidents.

President Obama’s secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, spoke to Obama adviser David Axelrod for his podcast program.

About Clinton’s extramarital exploits, Sebelius said, “Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him.

Cal

Thomas Syndicated Columnist And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior, but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims.”

Sebelius also criticized Hillary Clinton and White House staff members for smearing her husband’s accusers. She said the same pattern is being repeated today as various men are accused of sexual harassment and their accusers are being twice victimized.

Among others aiding Clinton, either by their silence or by issuing misleading statements, was his secretary of state, Madeleine Albright.

Albright appeared in the White House driveway before news cameras and vouched for Clinton’s veracity when he said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

If Albright and other higher-ups knew or suspected that Bill Clinton was engaging in extramarital sex and Hillary was aiding in the

cover-up, they should have resigned in protest, or confronted the president, or both.

While it’s true, as Sebelius noted, that less powerful women fear speaking up because they might lose their jobs, the higher and mightier ones would presumably not have such concerns. In fact, they might be regarded as heroes (or heroines) and rescuers of casualties from the sexual revolution.

There should be no double standard about any of this; whether the abuser is the president or a boss, if allegations of sexual misconduct can be proved, that person should be forced to face the consequences. Tolerating or denying this behavior only guarantees we get more of it.

Every female is someone’s daughter, wife, mother, girlfriend or sister. Would these abusers tolerate the harassment or rape of a close female relative or friend? Not unless they are sicker than the behavior they are alleged to have carried out.

In her interview with Axelrod, Sebelius drew a distinction between Clinton’s acts and those of accused groper Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and accused pedophile Roy Moore. In the case of Franken, she said, he admitted

the bad behavior and immediately called for an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. Moore, Harvey Weinstein, President Trump and others have denied the accusations made against them.

Sebelius admitted the Senate Ethics Committee has a checkered history when it comes to investigating claims against members, but she thinks with so much public outcry, disgust and pressure, members won’t be able to sweep things under the rug. The question is whether Franken’s call for an investigation is an attempt to delay accountability for his actions.

One benefit from the Sebelius interview is that it should be the final word on the political lives of both Clintons. They should leave the stage to a new generation. Given their past and lust for money, however, I’m betting they won’t. It could be said their departure into retirement would be considered a case of better late than never.

There is no shame in starting over

E

DGEWOOD — I went to the annual convention of the New Mexico Press Association over a recent weekend and one workshop featured a young woman who liked to mention “real talk.”

As in, “OK, you guys — real talk.” It made me wonder what the rest of the things she said were. Fake talk? Anyhoo.

I hope this column is always real talk, but for some reason, that phrase has stuck in my head these past few days.

So here’s some real talk: I have fallen so far off the exercise wagon that I’m literally starting all over again like a beginner. OK, maybe a beginner with some better ideas of what I can accomplish than I had before, but starting from the ground up yet again.

That is disheartening.

But it’s also real talk.

I smoked cigarettes off and on for the past 35 years or so. In order to quit — and this is not just me saying this — it took many, many attempts. It will actually probably take a few more attempts before it’s all said and done. But that doesn’t mean I should give up.

Every season of life has its challenges. Starting in my 20s, I was a stay-athome mom for 12 years.

Leota Harriman The Independent

Guest Column That was great and I loved it, but don’t ask me where you squeeze in a workout when you’ve got four small children to take care of. The most exercise I got back then was chasing them around and lifting them up.

Taking care of myself was not even on my radar.

In my 30s, I became a single parent, and my kids ranged in age from toddler to teens. Less chasing and lifting, but holy moly what a merry-go-round of music lessons, my kids’ social lives, pets, concerts, laundry, sleepovers — taking care of myself was barely on the list. If I’m honest it wasn’t really on the list at all.

In my 40s, I finally started to get half a clue and to realize that I can’t take care of other people if I am working until I crash and burn — then resting for a few days and getting up to do it all over again until I crashed and burned again.

But having half a clue doesn’t mean that you act on it much, or well. In that decade I also moved from employment at this news-

paper to ownership of it, and that brought a whole new can of work stress worms that had never even occurred to me before.

As I started to creep toward 50, the whole picture became clearer and clearer. Choices I had been making for years were antithetical to my quality of life.

I realized I was on the road to heart disease and diabetes, not to mention emphysema. I decided I needed to make big changes.

And I did.

That is, right up until I didn’t.

And that pattern has persisted — the pendulum swinging between getting to the gym and eating good healthy food and slacking my face off and heading for fast food far too often.

I find myself now at another crossroads, having to put in even more hours at this newspaper, with an additional creamy dollop of financial stress on top to make it fun. Starting over one more time.

But that’s real talk, folks. That’s how the world is, and that’s how life is.

Things ebb and flow. I have once again gotten to the point where my choices are impinging on my quality of life, and I’m tired of hearing my own excuses. So I’m setting new goals and starting over.

I heard a great piece of advice the other day: Don’t be afraid to fail. I’ve failed at the task of changing from a sedentary to an active lifestyle plenty of times so far, but I’m a stubborn and determined woman. Failures are learning opportunities.

At the press convention, this column won first place in our division, and I met some people who read it, and who reminded me of why I write it.

Making healthy choices is not a quick fix, something you can learn in a weekend using five easy bullet points. It is hard, grinding, sometimes disheartening work.

There is no shame in starting over, so here we go again.

I’ll have some exciting news to share in this space soon, and my first plan for getting back into exercise classes is kickboxing. I’ve got a little bit of extra stress to punch and kick out of my system.

“Jim and I remained close friends for 52 years. He was the godfather of my daughter, Jody. Every year he was always the first guest on my variety show. I considered him my ‘good luck charm.’

My heart is heavy. I’m grateful he was a large part of my life. I miss him. I love him.”

— Carol Burnett, in a statement.

“Jim Nabors was a gentle man with immense talent.

Condolences to his husband Stan and family.” — Talk show host Larry King, via Twitter “Sgt Gomer Pyle was the first ‘gay’ character on TV.” — Comedian Roseanne Barr, via Twitter “Jim was not only a treasured friend, but truly a cherished member of our family.

We will never forget his genuine kindness, sincerity and loyalty. He was a wonderful man who inspired millions of people across the globe every May and throughout his entire life.” — The Hulman-George family, which

owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in a statement posted on the track’s website “It’s a sad day. Jim Nabors will always be the voice of Back Home Again in Indiana.

Rest in peace, Jim.” — Brazilian race car driver Tony Kanaan, via Twitter “I loved his work. He made me laugh really really hard and that’s a gift. Thank you Jim Nabors! Our family sends much love to his family, friends, colleagues & fans.” — Actor Sean Astin, via Twitter “I met Jim Nabors just once, about 10 years ago, and he was as nice as you’d assume. RIP” — Actor Michael McKean, via Twitter “Very sad to hear that Jim Nabors just passed away.

Gomer Pyle. A wonderfully funny actor and singer!” — Singer-pianist Michael Feinstein, via Twitter “As one of our first #MuppetShow guests, #JimNabors became part of the Muppet family. We’ll miss his laughter, his singing, and his friendship.” — The Muppets, via Twitter

Jim Nabors, who made cheery Gomer Pyle a TV icon, dies at 87

By Frazier Moore AP Television Writer NEW YORK — Jim Nabors made good on his last name when he brought Gomer Pyle to “The Andy Griffith Show.” His big-hearted, ever-cheery gas-pump jockey was a neighborly fit in the easygoing town of Mayberry.

But when Gomer enlisted in the Marines for five TV seasons, he truly blossomed. So did the actor who portrayed him.

Nabors, who died Thursday at 87, made Pvt. Gomer Pyle a perfect foil for the immovable object of Marines boot camp: Grinning, gentle Gomer was the irresistible force.

On “Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,” a spinoff from “The Andy Griffith Show” that premiered in 1964, Gomer arrived in the fictional Camp Henderson with a happy attitude and eager innocence that flew in the face of everything he found awaiting him there, especially irascible Sgt. Vince Carter, played by Frank Sutton.

It’s a measure of Nabors’ skill in inhabiting the anything-but-militaristic Gomer that this character was widely beloved, and the show a Top 10 hit, during an era when the Vietnam War was dividing America.

His trademark “Shazam,” ‘‘Gollllll-lee,” and “Surprise, surprise, surprise” were

In this Nov. 2, 2003 file photo, Jim Nabors, left, and Andy Griffith, cast members from the series “The Andy Griffith Show,” arrive to CBS’s 75th anniversary celebration in New York. Nabors died peacefully at his home in Honolulu on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, with his husband Stan Cadwallader at his side. He was 87. parroted by millions.

But Nabors had another character to offer his fans: himself, a booming baritone.

In appearances on TV variety programs, he stunned viewers with the contrast between his twangy, homespun humor (”The tornado was so bad a hen laid the same egg twice”) and his full-throated vocals.

He was a double threat, as he demonstrated for two seasons starting in 1969 on “The Jim Nabors Hour,” a variety series where he joshed with guest stars, did sketches with Sutton and fellow “Gomer” veteran Ronnie Schell, and sang country and opera.

Offstage and off-camera, Nabors retained some of the

awed innocence of Gomer.

At the height of his fame in 1969, he admitted, “I still find it difficult to believe this kind of acceptance. I still don’t trust it.”

After his variety show, Nabors continued earning high salaries in Las Vegas showrooms and in concert theaters across the country. He recorded more than two dozen albums and sang with the Dallas and St. Louis symphony orchestras.

During the 1970s he moved to Hawaii, buying a 500-acre macadamia ranch.

He still did occasional TV work, and in the late 1970s, he appeared 10 months annually at Hilton hotels in Hawaii. The pace gave him an ulcer.

“I was completely burned out,” he later recalled.

“I’d had it with the bright lights.”

In the early 1980s, his longtime friendship with Burt Reynolds led to roles in “Stroker Ace,” ‘‘Cannonball II” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.”

He returned to concert and nightclub performances in 1985, though at a less intensive pace. Among his regular gigs was singing “Back Home Again in Indiana” at the Indianapolis 500 each year, which he first did in 1972. That first time, he wrote the lyrics on his hand so he wouldn’t forget.

“I’ve never thought of (the audience reaction) as relating to me,” Nabors said. “It

is applauding for the tradition of the race and the excitement.”

Illness forced him to cancel his appearance in 2007, the first one he had missed in more than 20 years. But he was back performing at Indy in 2008, saying, “It’s always the main part of my year. It just thrills you to your bones.”

In 1991, Nabors was thrilled to get a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. He was joined for the ceremony by pals Carol Burnett, Loni Anderson, Phyllis Diller and Florence Henderson. His reaction? “Gollllll-lee!”

Nabors, who had undergone a liver transplant in 1994 after contracting hepatitis B, died at his home in Hawaii after his health had declined for the past year, said his husband, Stan Cadwallader, who was by his side.

“Everybody knows he was a wonderful man. And that’s all we can say about him. He’s going to be dearly missed,” Cadwallader said.

The couple married in early 2013 in Washington state, where gay marriage had recently been made legal. Nabors’ friends had known for years that he was gay, but he had never said anything to the media.

“It’s pretty obvious that we had no rights as a couple, yet when you’ve been together 38 years, I think something’s got to happen there, you’ve got to solidi-

fy something,” Nabors told Hawaii News Now at the time. “And at my age, it’s probably the best thing to do.”

An authentic small-town Southern boy, he was born James Thurston Nabors in Sylacauga, Alabama, in 1930, the son of a police officer. Boyhood attacks of asthma required long periods of rest, during which he learned to entertain his playmates with vocal tricks.

After graduating from the University of Alabama, he worked in New York City for a time, and later, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he was an assistant film editor and occasional singer at a TV station.

He moved on to Hollywood with hopes of using his voice. While cutting film at NBC in the daytime, he sang at night at a Santa Monica club.

“I was up there on the stage the night that Andy Griffith came in,” Nabors recalled in 1965. “He said to me afterward, ‘You know somethin,’ boy? You’re good.

I’m going to bring my manager around to see you.’”

Nabors soon landed a guest shot on Griffith’s sitcom as Gomer Pyle. That grew into a regular role as Gomer proved a kindred spirit with other Mayberry locals. By then, he had proved he was also a kindred spirit with millions of viewers.

Opponents in LGBT case agree: It’s not about wedding cake

By David Crary AP National Writer

In a legal case with profound implications for LGBT rights and religion’s place in public life, the opposing sides agree on this: It’s not about the cake.

At its core, the case that goes before the U.S. Supreme Court for oral arguments on Dec. 5 is a showdown between a gay couple from Colorado and a Denver-area baker who in 2012 cited his Christian faith in refusing to make a cake for their wedding celebration.

Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, was judged through multiple phases of litigation to have violated Colorado’s anti-discrimination law. Through his lawyers, he now gets to argue before the highest court in the land that he’s an artist who should not be compelled to create a cake that contradicts his religious views.

For Phillips’ legion of supporters — including conservative politicians, advocacy groups and religious institutions — the case has ramifications for creative professionals of all kinds.

“Every American should be free to choose which art they will create and which art they won’t create without fear of being unjustly punished by the government,” Phillips recently told a rally of local supporters.

For advocates of LGBT rights, the stakes are perilously high. They fear a Supreme Court ruling in Phillips’ favor would open the door to discrimination by a wide range of business owners and entrepreneurs.

“Cakes can often have artistic or creative designs.

So can sandwiches, legal briefs, bicycles, cars, flowers, medical care,” American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Chase Strangio argued in a recent blog post.

“If a baker can reject LGBTQ people because of who we are, then what about the mechanic, the florist, the doctor, the teacher?” Strangio asked. “This is not about cake. This is not about art. This is about survival.”

——— The case reaches the Supreme Court at a stressful time for the LGBT rights movement.

Just two years ago, the high court delivered the movement its greatest victory — a 5-4 decision paving the way for same-sex marriage to become legal nationwide. But that achievement, coming just 11 years after Massachusetts became the first state to recognize gay marriage, has been partly offset by subsequent political developments.

The sweeping Republican election victory in November 2016 solidified social conservatives’ dominance in Congress and a majority of states and set the stage for President Donald Trump’s administration to roll back several LGBT-friendly initiatives undertaken during Barack Obama’s two terms in office.

Protections for transgender students have been weakened, and Trump is seeking to ban transgender people from military service.

In October, Attorney General Jeff Sessions — a longtime skeptic of LGBT-rights initiatives — issued “religious exemptions” guidance that could override many anti-discrimination protec-

In this Nov. 8 file photograph, Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cake, speaks during a rally on the campus of a Christian college in Lakewood, Colo. The small rally was held to build support for Phillips, who is at the center of a case that will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court in December. The case may determine if business owners like Phillips are having their right of religious liberty and free expression violated by having to offer their wedding services to same-sex couples. tions for LGBT people and others.

The net result: LGBT activists see little prospect of short-term progress at the federal level, even as they remain heartened by the ever-growing ranks of corporations and local governments that are acting to make LGBT people feel welcome and to curb discrimination against them. The local laws can be important, given that only 21 states have statewide laws barring discrimination against gays and lesbians in public accommodations.

Lambda Legal, a prominent LGBT-rights group, was among dozens of organizations submitting briefs to the Supreme Court on behalf of the Colorado couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins.

The group argued that LGBT people, for all their

recent civil rights advances, still encounter varied forms of discrimination in the public square. Among its examples: a lesbian couple denied infertility treatment in San Diego, a gay Iowa couple rebuffed in efforts to rent a wedding venue, a transgender man turned away from a New Jersey hospital where he sought a hysterectomy.

“This is why nondiscrimination laws like Colorado’s are so important,” wrote Lambda’s law and policy director, Jennifer Pizer. “So that people can live their lives without fearing that, at any moment, they may be turned away or verbally abused just for who they are.”

Craig and Mullins spent only a few moments at the bakery in 2012 before Philipps’ rebuff hit home.

“There was horrible pregnant pause,” Mullins recalls.

“It was publicly humiliating and it was painful.”

“Never in a million years did we think that five years later we’d be going to the Supreme Court,” he said.

“It’s been emotionally trying. You sort of have to relive that pain again and again.”

——— For opponents of samesex marriage, religious liberty and religious freedom have become watchwords for a broad campaign to carve out more public space for their viewpoints.

There have been defeats.

Earlier this year, Washington state’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously that florist Barronelle Stutzman broke the state’s anti-discrimination law by refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding. In October, two women who specialize in hand-lettering and calligraphy for weddings

lost the latest round of their challenge of a Phoenix ordinance requiring them to provide their services for samesex weddings.

There have been some victories as well.

In Michigan, a federal judge recently ordered the city of East Lansing to make room for a farmer who was barred from selling apples at a seasonal market because he doesn’t let gay couples get married at his orchard, which is a popular wedding spot. A panel of U.S. appellate judges has allowed a sweeping Mississippi law to take effect that lets government workers and business owners cite religious beliefs to deny services to LGBT people. The law, now the subject of an appeal to the Supreme Court, protects three beliefs: that marriage is only between a man and a woman, that gender can-

not be changed and that sex outside of marriage is wrong.

——— Back in 2014, the Supreme Court declined to weigh in on a case with similarities to the Colorado dispute. The justices rebuffed a request to review a New Mexico Supreme Court decision holding that a photography studio violated the state’s anti-discrimination laws by refusing to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony.

Three years later, the high court has opted to wade into the same high-voltage issues, assessing whether Phillips’ right to freedom of speech outweighs Colorado’s interest in protecting Mullins and Craig from discrimination. It will mark the most important LGBT-rights case for conservative Coloradan Neil Gorsuch since he joined the Supreme Court in April.

However, the outcome could turn on the vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy, as it often does in cases that otherwise break along the court’s liberal-conservative divide.

Kennedy’s legacy is firmly tied to his authorship of major gay rights rulings dating back to 1996, including the landmark 2015 decision making same-sex marriage legal nationwide. At the same time, Kennedy, 81, has forcefully defended freespeech rights in his nearly 30 years as a justice.

Each side has tailored its arguments to appeal to one of those two strains in hopes of attracting Kennedy’s vote.

Phillips still stoutly defends his 2012 rebuff of Mullins and Craig, saying he offered to sell them virtually any of his baked goods except a custom cake for their wedding.

“I don’t create custom designs for events or messages that conflict with my conscience,” he said at the recent rally of his supporters. “I don’t create cakes for Halloween, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and anti-American cakes. I’ve turned down a cake order for an anti-LGBT message.”

To the other side, Phillips’ arguments seem like an invitation to intolerance.

“This case is not about a cake. It’s not about a baker,” Craig says. “It’s about us being able to be free to be treated equally in the public realm.”

Gift Guide: Choosing a streaming device without overpaying

By Anick Jesdanun AP Technology Writer NEW YORK — Why watch video on a phone or a tablet when you can get a device for as little as $30 to stream shows on a bigscreen TV? Apple, Google, Amazon and Roku are all competing to be your gateway to online video. Which device you need will largely depend on what services you watch and what kind of TV you have.

Of course, the device alone won’t be enough.

You’ll probably want at least one subscription to a video service such as Netflix or Hulu, which charge monthly fees. Others, such as WatchESPN, require a cable TV subscription.

Plenty of others — YouTube, for instance — offer video for free with ads, although their selections can be limited.

Here’s a holiday buying guide for the TV-streamers in your life.

Streaming Built-In

Smart TVs, game consoles and the TiVo digital video recorder all have streaming capabilities built in. If all you watch is Netflix and Hulu, you’ll be fine with those. But apps for individual channels such as The CW and FX won’t work with every device.

The exceptions are TVs that run Roku or Amazon software or that have Google’s Chromecast technology built in. They tend to have wider app selections, so you might not need a streaming device at all.

Amazon Fire Tv

Although Amazon has gotten better about promoting rival services, its Fire TV device is best seen as a companion to the company’s $99-a-year

troller gives you a headphone jack for private listening and hands-free queries with Google Assistant.

Even if you’re not a gamer, it’s nice not to have to press a microphone button on a remote to ask Google to pause or start the video from the beginning.

Apple TV

AP Photo

This photo provided by Nvidia shows the Nvidia Shield streaming TV system. A notable Android TV model, Shield comes with 4K and HDR. You get voice searches through Google Assistant, such as playback controls, weather and data you might never think to ask a TV, such as flight status. Shield is powerful and designed with gamers in mind; one feature allows screen sharing of game play.

Prime loyalty program.

Video available through Prime is prominent. The device has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built-in, giving you weather, sports scores, stock quotes and playback controls with selected apps — ask Alexa to forward 30 seconds, for instance.

Amazon’s $40 Fire TV Stick is good for regular, high-definition TV sets.

If you have a higher-resolution 4K TV, you’ll want the regular Fire TV for $70. There isn’t a lot of 4K video yet, but the price difference is small compared with what 4K TVs cost.

The regular Fire TV also offers high-dynamic range, which has better contrast and produces brighter whites and darker blacks.

Again, HDR video is slowly coming.

Fire TV doesn’t offer apps for iTunes or Google Play video. Fire TV’s remote also lacks volume controls, something that’s becoming standard on

streaming devices.

Roku

Roku has one of the most complete channel libraries — more than 5,000, many you’ve never heard of. But there’s no iTunes.

Roku’s Express sells for just $30. The $50 Streaming Stick gets you a remote with volume buttons and voice search — though we’re talking basic queries related to shows and apps, not playback controls or information such as weather. The $70 Streaming Stick Plus adds 4K and HDR. Bells and whistles in the $100 Ultra include a remote that will emit a sound to help you find it in your couch cushion.

The Ultra’s remote has a headphone jack, so you can watch TV without waking up roommates. For cheaper models, you can get that through Roku’s smartphone app. (With Fire TV and Apple TV, you

can pair wireless headphones.)

Google

Google’s Chromecast is cheap but trickier to use, as you have to start a video on your phone and then switch the stream to the TV. An entry-level streaming device from Amazon or Roku might be a better choice now that those prices have come down.

Separately, Google offers its Android TV software for other makers of streaming devices. Google’s YouTube and Play services often get

prominent billing in search results. Again, no iTunes.

Nvidia’s Shield device is one notable example of an Android TV device, though it’s pricey, starting at $179. It comes with 4K and HDR. You get voice searches through Google Assistant — playback controls with some apps, weather and data you might never think to ask a TV, such as flight status.

Shield is powerful and designed with gamers in mind; one feature allows screen sharing of gameplay. A package that includes a game controller costs $20 more. The con-

Though an iPhone isn’t required, Apple TV will be most useful with one. The basic device is $149; a version with 4K and HDR costs $30 more. You’re paying for the experience — in particular, integration and syncing with other Apple gadgets. For instance, you can type passwords on an iPhone instead of navigating a keyboard on the TV character by character.

Siri offers similar playback controls and information queries as Alexa and Google Assistant. The touchpad on the remote offers faster forwarding and rewinding than rivals.

And while all streaming devices offer more than just video, Apple TV goes much further in offering an iPhone-like experience on a big screen. You can browse Ikea’s catalog or order food from Grubhub, for instance. Apple TV is the only device to support iTunes, but there’s no Google Play. Amazon is expected by the end of the year.

Artesia and Belen collide for 5-A title

By Mike Smith Roswell Daily Record

ARTESIA — As the Artesia Bulldogs get ready to hit the field in their quest for state title No. 30 today, a former Eddy County Commissioner remembers what it was like to be on one of the 29 teams that carried a state trophy off the field.

Royce Pearson is 60-years old, however, he remembers the 1974 football season well. He graduated the following spring and the first thing he remembers is Artesia dropped down to 3-A “due to student enrollment,” he said.

Today at 1 p.m. at the Bulldog Bowl Artesia (102) takes on Belen (12-0) for the 5-A title.

Getting back to yesteryear, Pearson said Artesia faced Portales, Lovington and Tucumcari in district play. He played left tackle on offense and he said none of the Bulldogs’ league foes could score.

Shutting out those teams, according to Pearson, “gave us a big head and a lot of confidence.”

Pearson said that attitude got the Bulldogs in trouble during the quarterfinals against Tularosa. He said the Wildcats had the upper hand at halftime with a 23-6 lead.

“The Artesia coaches were dumbfounded,” Pearson said.

He said the father of quarterback Greg White gave the team a pep talk

during intermission.

Whatever Allen White told the team worked.

“We went out in the second half and the defense pitched a shutout,” Pearson said. The Bulldogs were able to outscore the Wildcats and came away with a 24-23 win.

After that win the Bulldogs defeated Aztec in the semifinals and then beat Deming in the championship.

“We got after it,” Pearson said.

The Bulldogs of today defeated St. Pius (47-14) in the quarterfinals and last week in the semi’s Artesia took the sting out of the Farmington Scorpions (47-22).

The Bulldogs will be looking to senior Taylor Null to guide the offensive ship today. He has completed 216 passes for 3,453 yards and he’s also passed for 48 touchdowns.

Belen’s head coach is no stranger to playing for state titles. Greg Henington played under former Roswell High coach Jim Bradley during his second stint at Mayfield High School in Las Cruces.

Henington said the Trojans won two state titles during his playing days.

From there he attended New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas and won a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship.

He then returned to his alma mater and was the offensive coordinator

Former Eddy County Commissioner Royce Pearson likes the Artesia Bulldogs chances to win the 5-A state football championship game against Belen today at the Bulldog Bowl. Pearson was on the 1974 Bulldog team that defeated Deming for the state title. Today Artesia is looking for state trophy No. 30. under Jim Bradley’s son, Mike.

“In my time there we were in five state championships,” Henington said.

He is the son of late head coach Rex Henington, who coached at Las Cruces, Belen, Clovis and Hobbs. He led Las Cruces High to a state title in 1975.

The younger Henington admits he loves “huge games.”

“Some of the biggest

Dexter defeats Elida

were Las Cruces and Mayfield with 25,000 plus people (in attendance),” he said.

Henington has praise for Artesia on both sides of the football.

“They are the most disciplined team we will face all year, he said. “But we are excited to play them,” he added.

The Eagles defeated Miyamura (46-21) in the quarterfinals and last week in the semi’s they

edged Roswell (27-20).

“This year’s season has been a tough road of adversity and accomplishments,” Henington said. “We have one goal left.”

Henington took over the head coaching job in Belen last year.

In addition to being a former player, Pearson has also driven the Artesia team this season as a bus driver.

“I like their chances

Saturday,” Pearson said.

He added he was concerned about Artesia’s venture to Farmington last weekend. The long ride didn’t affect the team. Pearson also offers some advice for the Bulldogs of today.

“Leave it on the field and don’t underestimate your opponent,” he said.

P e a r s o n a ls o a d d e d , “once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.”

Hagerman’s Osbaldo Najera, shown here against NMMI last year, scored 16 points as the Bobcats lost to Tatum 41-30 Friday night in the J.P. Stone Invitational. Hagerman will play Logan at 4:30 p.m. Today.

Lady Bobcats off and running; new season, new team, new coach

Paul Lessard Daily Correspondent

HAGERMAN – The Hagerman Lady Bobcat basketball team ushered in their 2017-2018 season playing in the J.P. Stone Invitational at Dora on Thursday evening. The Lady Cats dropped their opening game to the hosts 56-39 and followed that up with a 48-36 win over district nemesis Jal to move into Saturday’s consolation championship game against Quemado.

The Bobcats are playing a tough early slate in hopes of challenging Tatum for the district 4-2A crown. The Lady Cats

are coming off of 7-18 campaign that finished their season on a sour note last year, with a loss to Gateway Christian in the opening round of the district tourney.

The Lady Cats are coached this year by First-year coach Candace Pollard who is being assisted by Jacob Olivas. Pollard, an Artesia graduate who played collegiately is very excited for the upcoming season. “(We) couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls to have for our first year as coaches. They refuse to back down even when they’re tired. In practice and on the court they give me 110 percent the entire time and, as a coach,

that’s all you could ask from a player.”

Those players did give the 110 percent in their season opener with 2A power Dora but fell to a more seasoned team 56-39.

Sophomore Bethany Barela tossed in 15 points.

“We were a little tight and nervous,” stated Pollard. “Being a first-year head coach, not only in Hagerman but in my career, it was an adjustment for all of us.

Not only were the girls adjusting to me in a game setting, but myself and my assistant coach really got to see them play a real game for the first time and it was exciting.”

She continued, “we did a lot of great things. This group of girls is senior loaded but we also have several underclassmen who aren’t afraid to get in there and work. We made some adjustment after the game to get better prepared for Jal.” The preparations must have been spot on as the Lady Cats ran off to a 19-4 first quarter lead and never relinquished it.

They had some offensive problems in the second quarter, but still maintained a 21-15 lead at the break, as they went on to a big 48-36 victory.

Yamile Ortiz and Stephanie Razo led the Cats with 7 points

apiece, while Barela and Christy Bejarano chipped in with 6 each.

“I am extremely excited about the level of maturity and willingness to be coachable I have with this group of girls,” exclaimed Pollard. “Jal is a district opponent so it felt good to get that early win against them (the Panthers swept the Bobcats last year). It was for sure a great morale booster for these girls.

Jal is a great team and I look forward to playing them again down the road.”

The Lady Cats first home game won’t be until Dec. 14 against 3A Eunice.

No. 11 USC beats No. 14 Stanford 31-28 for Pac-12 title

By Josh Dubow AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Sam Darnold threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns and engineered a back-breaking 99-yard drive in the fourth quarter to lead No. 11 Southern California to a 31-28 victory over No. 14 Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday night.

Darnold threw touchdown passes to Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Vaughns to stake the Trojans (11-2, No. 10 CFP) to the lead. He then delivered one of the biggest plays of the game when

he stepped up to avoid pressure in the end zone before connecting on a 54-yard pass to Pittman to spark the key touchdown drive in the fourth.

Ronald Jones finished that drive with an 8-yard run that made it 31-21 to cap a productive night where he ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns to give USC its first win in a Pac-12 championship game.

The long drive came after USC stuffed Stanford (9-4, No. 12) at the goal line to preserve the lead. With Bryce Love nursing an injured ankle on the sideline,

Cameron Scarlett was stopped on successive runs from inside the 2, including a fourth-down try from the 1 that was stopped by Uchenna Nwosu.

Darnold sealed the game with a 15-yard pass to Josh Falo on fourth-and-2 to let USC run out the clock.

The win gives USC a season sweep against Stanford and will likely send the Trojans to the Fiesta Bowl. USC still holds out hope for a spot in the four-team playoff if there are several upsets in other conference title games on Saturday but the chances appear

to be remote.

The Takeaway

STANFORD: Love ran for 125 yards and had his FBS-record 12th run of at least 50 yards that set up K.J. Costello’s 11-yard TD pass to Kaden Smith that cut USC’s lead to 24-21 late in the third quarter. Costello added a 28-yard TD pass to Smith with 2:09 remaining but wasn’t nearly consistent enough to keep pace with Darnold. Costello finished 10 for 22 for 192 yards.

USC: The Trojans had a balanced offensive performance with

Pittman catching seven passes for 146 yards and Jones doing solid work on the ground. The defense came up with the big stop at the goal line. But it probably won’t be enough to overcome the earlier losses at Washington State and Notre Dame to lift the Trojans into the playoff even if they get help Saturday.

Up Next

Both teams will get their bowl bids on Sunday with USC likely headed to the Fiesta Bowl and Stanford expected to go to the Holiday Bowl.

GOP nears Senate OK of tax bill Saturday, December 2, 2017

By Alan Fram, Marcy Gordon and Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans used a burst of eleventh-hour horse-trading Friday to edge a $1.4 trillion tax bill to the brink of Senate passage, as a party starved all year for a major legislative triumph took a giant step toward giving President Donald Trump one of his top priorities by Christmas.

“We have the votes,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declared after leaders swayed holdout senators by agreeing to fatten tax breaks for millions of businesses and let people deduct local property taxes.

Party leaders hoped for Senate approval later Friday on a measure that focuses the bulk of its tax reductions on businesses and higher-earning individuals, gives more modest breaks to others and would be the boldest rewrite of the nation’s tax system since 1986.

Republicans touted the package as one that would benefit people of all incomes and ignite the economy.

Even an official projection of a $1 trillion, 10-year flood of deeper budget deficits couldn’t dissuade nearly all GOP senators from rallying behind the bill.

“Obviously I’m kind of a dinosaur on the fiscal issues,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the only announced GOP opponent, who battled to keep the measure from worsening the government’s accumulated $20 trillion in IOUs. The Republican-led House approved a similar bill last month in what has been a stunningly swift trip through Congress for legislation that impacts the breadth of American society and is hundreds of pages long.

After spending the year’s first nine months futilely trying to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law, GOP leaders were determined to move the measure rapidly before opposition Democrats and lobbying groups could blow it up. The party views passage as crucial to retain-

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., joins protesters outside the Capitol as Republicans in the Senate work to pass their sweeping tax bill, a blend of generous tax cuts for businesses and more modest tax cuts for families and individuals, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday. It would mark the first time in 31 years that Congress has overhauled the tax code, making it the biggest legislative achievement of President Donald Trump’s first year in office. ing its House and Senate majorities in next year’s elections.

Democrats derided the bill as a GOP gift to its wealthy and business backers at the expense of lower-earning people. They contrasted the bill’s permanent reduction in corporate income tax rates from 35 percent to 20 percent to individual tax breaks that would end in 2026.

Congress’ nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation has said the bill’s reductions for many families would be modest and said by 2027, families earning under $75,000 would on average face higher, not lower, taxes.

“Every time the choice is between corporations and families, the Republicans choose corporations,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The bill hit rough waters Thursday after the Joint Taxation panel conclud-

ed it would worsen federal shortfalls by $1 trillion over a decade, even when factoring in economic growth that lower taxes would stimulate.

Trump administration officials and many Republicans have insisted the bill would pay for itself by stimulating the economy. But the sour projections stiffened resistance from some deficit-averse Republicans.

But after bargaining that stretched into Friday morning, McConnell and other leaders said victory was assured in a chamber they control 52-48. Facing unyielding Democratic opposition, Republicans could lose no more than two GOP senators and prevail with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.

Under the changes leaders agreed to, millions of companies whose owners pay individual, not corporate, taxes on their profits

would be allowed deductions of 23 percent, up from 17.4 percent. That helped win over GOP Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Steve Daines of Montana.

People would be allowed to deduct up to $10,000 in property taxes, a demand of Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. That matched a House provision that chamber’s leaders included to keep some GOP votes from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey and California.

Collins, a moderate and frequent maverick who opposed her party’s Obamacare repeal drive, said she’d back the tax bill.

The changes added more than $300 billion to the tax bill’s costs. To pay for that, leaders agreed to reduce the number of high-earners who must pay the alternative minimum tax, rather than completely erasing it.

They’d also increase a one-time tax on profits

U.S.-based corporations are holding overseas and require firms to keep paying the business version of the alternative minimum tax.

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.

— who, like Corker, had been a holdout and has sharply attacked Trump’s capabilities as president — said he’d back the bill. He said he’d received commitments from party leaders and the administration “to work with me” to restore protections, dismantled by Trump, for young immigrants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children.

That seemed short of a pledge to actually revive the safeguards.

Overall, the Senate bill would drop the highest personal income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 38.5 percent. The estate tax levied on a few thousand of the nation’s largest inheritances would be narrowed to affect even fewer.

local income taxes, moving expenses and other items would vanish, the standard deduction — used by most Americans — would nearly double to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for couples, and the per-child tax credit would grow.

The bill would abolish the “Obamacare” requirement that most people buy health coverage or face tax penalties. Industry experts say that would weaken the law by easing pressure on healthier people to buy coverage, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said the move would push premiums higher and leave 13 million additional people uninsured.

It would also explicitly let parents buy tax-advantaged 529 college savings accounts for fetuses, a step they can already take but which anti-abortion forces hailed as a victory by inscribing that right into law.

“Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart” (Heb. 3:12)

The life of Judas Iscariot makes one wonder what went wrong. For three years he walked with Jesus, heard him preach, even saw him perform miracles! Nevertheless, knowing his true character, Jesus said, “’Did I not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil.’ He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him” (Jn. 6:70-71). Though scholars speculate, we don’t know his motives. “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed,” Jesus ominously stated after Judas conspired. “It would have been better for that man if he had not been born” (Mk. 14:21). Afterward, overcome by guilt, Judas committed suicide (cf. Mt. 27:3-5).

Beware the danger of apostasy! Judas’ unrepentant betrayal revealed he was never a true follower of Christ in the first place (cf. 1 Jn. 2:19). But if he who enjoyed such proximity to the Lord for three years could forsake him, how much more could we but by the grace of God? As J. C. Ryle noted, “The lengths which men may go in religion and yet be without grace, is far greater than we suppose” (Expository Thoughts on Luke). Putting no confidence in the flesh, therefore, we must cry out with the Psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart . . . See if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way of everlasting” (Ps. 139:23-24). The reality is that if you could shipwreck your faith, you would! Only Christ can save you from yourself and only Christ can keep you!

B6 Saturday, December 2, 2017 Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I’m 22. Ever since I was 8, I’ve had the best friend I could ever have asked for. “Kylie” stood up for me when I was bullied as a child and hung out with me when I had no other friends.

The problem is, Kylie is extremely pretty and has always been charismatic, too.

It’s not her fault, but people have always been attracted to her, both as a bright personality and as a romantic interest.

All through high school, I fell into the role of sidekick.

When I became romantically interested in someone, nine times out of 10 he liked her.

When we were together, people would pop in and speak only to her. It made me feel somewhere between shy and invisible.

We are adults now, and Kylie is married with four kids. We’re still very close. The thing is, breaking out of her shadow has become impossible. I went to a different college, and my job has nothing

Comics to do with her, but old habits still hold me back from making friends, and romantic interests still magically disappear when I introduce them to my best friend. What do I do?

SECOND BEST IN MONTANA DEAR SECOND BEST: You’re right. Old habits — not to mention attitudes — do die hard. Because this pattern has been going on for so long, it may take the help of a licensed mental health professional to help you gain the tools to change it. It’s crucial that you realize what fine qualities you have to offer.

Looks are an asset, but they are only skin deep. If a man you are interested in is distracted to the point of disappearing by someone else’s good looks, recognize that he’s interested only in the veneer of a relationship, not the hardwood. Until you get this straight in your head, it might be wise to distance yourself from Kylie.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I love my sister “Susan,” but her 4-year-old son is completely out of control. “David” runs around restaurants, screaming and throwing

food and doesn’t listen at all.

Susan keeps wanting to plan trips and outings with me, but when she brings David, it’s embarrassing and unpleasant. I don’t want to take off work and pay for a trip with my sister if I’m going to be miserable.

I do want to spend time with her, so how do I tell her this? I have kids of my own, and I work with kids. I am very tolerant of children, but even for me it’s too much.

LITTLE TERROR IN TEXAS DEAR LITTLE TERROR: Assuming that David does not have an emotional or developmental disability, I don’t recommend telling your sister any version of “Your kid is so obnoxious I no longer want to be exposed to his bad behavior.”

I wish you had mentioned whether she brings along coloring books, toys or gadgets to keep her son entertained while he’s in adult company. (Many parents do.) If the answer is no, suggest it. If the answer is yes, then it would not be out of line to say to your sister that you prefer your visits be adults-only because it will enable you both to concentrate on each other with no distractions.

Hints from

Heloise King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: The colder months are just gearing up; it’s the perfect time for a discussion on petsafety in winter: • Make sure microchips and tags are up to date.

• Put together an emergency stash of dog food, medications and water in case you have to travel, have to leave your home in a hurry or the power goes out.

• Reflective leashes and vests are a good safety in”vest”ment for walks on short winter days and long nights.

• Your pets probably will fight this hint, but booties will protect their paw pads from salt and ice. If they won’t keep the booties on, wipe their feet upon coming inside.

• The formula has now changed, but if you have old antifreeze, dispose of it properly. Antifreeze used to taste sweet, but of course it’s toxic.

Winter is coming, so be prepared. Also, do not forget

Jacqueline Bigar

HHHHH Dear Readers: Leo and Lori P. in Augusta, Maine, sent a picture of their adorable 11-week-old lilac rag doll kitten, Lexi. They say Lexi loves to be in front of the camera, and why not? She’s very beautiful!

To see Lexi and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise. com and click on “Pet of the Week.”

Do you have a pet who is celebrating this holiday season? Send a picture, some information on your pet and an amusing anecdote to: Heloise(at)Heloise.com.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: We seniors can have hearing loss; it’s fairly common.

Here are some symptoms to watch for: If you have trouble following a conversation, if high voices are hard to hear, if you have a ringing in your ear, if you answer questions wrong or if the neighbors complain that your TV is too loud, you should have your hearing checked.

Beetle Bailey

Your Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might need to weigh the pros and cons of a financial decision.

Do you really want to continue going to extremes? You have a lot of get-upand-go, and you also have a strong intuitive sense about which direction you should head in. Tonight: Time for a heart-to-heart talk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. You could be very tired and unsure of what needs to happen. You might have a strong feeling about taking a financial risk. Make sure you can handle it, should your hunch be wrong.

Tonight: A little overindulgence never hurts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could be in a funk in the morning. Do not allow moodiness — yours or others — to get the best of you. You might want to handle a personal issue ASAP. Your instincts carry you through a hassle. You become more in tune with your needs as well. Tonight: Just be yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Listen to what is being offered.

Your imagination goes haywire with many different scenarios. Follow your instincts, and don’t worry so much about others’ judgments. Be conservative in how you approach your feelings. Tonight: Vanish with a special person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might not want to share everything that you are thinking.

Just be fun-loving and enjoy a special friend. One-on-one relating comes to the forefront when dealing with this person. Your feelings for him or her are stronger than you will want to admit. Tonight: Let the party happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might resent the fact that you must handle responsibilities on a Saturday. Your imagination has been working overtime lately. Handle what you must, and then allow your fantasies to play out. You’ll just have to postpone having a great time.

Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Any fantasies you have about taking off will need to be indulged in some way. Spending funds might be an issue, though you feel unusually affluent at this point in the month.

You could get into some holiday shopping, and clear out most of your list.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH One-on-one relating always intrigues you. You like to understand the various mechanics that make others tick. Nothing pleases you more than getting to know someone even better. Be aware that this exploration probably will become mutual.

Tonight: Dinner and a movie for two.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Defer to someone else if you would like to have a good day. This person sometimes gets tired of you calling all the shots. Your instincts are right-on. Let others steal the stage from you more often. You will be well-rewarded by a more easygoing attitude. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH One-on-one relating gives you the information you seek. Clear out a project in the morning in order to have more time with your family and/ or to run errands. You can accomplish a lion’s share of the work if you set your mind to it. Do some holiday decorating. Tonight: Pace yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Though you could be having a good time caught up in your thoughts, others might feel as though you are ignoring them. You might want to consider sharing some of the wilder thoughts you have. Someone might want to join you. Tonight: Build your reputation as a wild thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Tension builds around the homefront, as you have a lot you want to get done. Others might not be as accommodating as you would like. As a result, you could be slightly more aloof than you have been in a while. Do some holiday shopping, and you’ll feel better. Tonight: All smiles.

Lots of these symptoms can be treated if caught early.

Ask your doctor.

Robert P. in Los Angeles HHHHH Dear Heloise: With pets, we love lint rollers. Lint rollers clean couches, the car interior, ourselves and the dog. When my in-laws visit, we issue them a lint roller in their guest room.

There are different varieties: masking tape, hook-and-loop, washable and other types.

Mary H. in Indiana HHHHH Dear Heloise: I love to wear makeup. It makes me feel pretty, but a little goes a long way. A strong made-up eye look, complete with liner, lashes and shadow, needs a subtle lip and cheek.

Or I can also wear a bright matte lipstick, but then I do minimal eye makeup and, again, a pale cheek. Perfect!

Jillian J. in New York Dear Reader: Keep makeup tools clean and dry. Wash brushes once a week, and discard sponges frequently, too.
