Committee brakes on waiving fees for summer movies

By Alison Penn Roswell Daily Record

MainStreet Roswell’s request for the city of Roswell to waive fees for summer movies in the park was recommended for denial by the City Council’s Finance Committee.

On Thursday evening, Councilor Judy Stubbs made a motion to deny the request to waive fees pertaining to city staff time and equipment with the intention to find a solution about the event and Councilor Jacob Roebuck seconded the motion. Councilor Steve Henderson said he would prefer to allow MainStreet to continue the event for the imminent

summer season and cast the only opposing vote.

City Manager Joe Neeb said the committee’s decision does not end the event and the continuation would be MainStreet’s decision.

This will go before the full council at the next meeting.

“At this time, unless something changes, MainStreet Roswell will not be organizing the free summer movies,” Kathy Lay, executive director of MainStreet Roswell, said.

The fees in question involve city staff assisting with the event and costs the city $8,200 for the 10 event days. Lay said the licensing fee was around $450 for each movie and

A Roswell man convicted of voluntary manslaughter in December received the maximum sentence of seven years in prison followed by two years of parole.

The Wednesday afternoon sentencing for Christian Garcia, now age 28, comes exactly three years after the April 4, 2015 incident in the 4700 block of Cass Street which led to the death of 34-year-old Manuel Montez.

According to previous reports, Garcia was originally charged with second-degree murder after firing two fatal shots at Montez from a .22-gauge rifle through the window of his own home to purportedly protect himself.

Garcia was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter by a jury in Chaves County District Court Dec. 8, 2017.

Before Chaves County District Judge James M. Hudson delivered the sentence Wednesday,

he observed statements from the prosecution, defense, as well as Montez’s mother, brother and 5-year-old daughter.

“I really don’t know too much of what happened to my daddy,” Montez’s daughter wrote in a letter, which was read to the court. “Only that my daddy died — that someone hurt him, and he died, and that he is with God now, and that he is my angel and watching over me from heaven.

“I really miss my daddy. I cry sometimes for him too. I wish he was here to play with me. I play in his room a lot. I like looking at his pictures.

“I wish I could hug and kiss him and tell him I love him — because I am a big girl now, and I can even talk on the phone. I wish he would call me. I miss my daddy, and I wish he would come back to see me. Love always, Azariah — your one and only little girl.”

Major Roswell employer plans warehouse expansion

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

Roswell’s largest private-sector employer, part of a multibillion-dollar global enterprise, plans a warehouse expansion and intends to receive some funding from the state to assist in the effort.

Leprino Foods Co. will construct a refrigerated and freezer warehouse at its 430,000-square-foot plant on Omaha Road in the southeast part of the city. The project is estimated to cost $15 million.

Construction began in March and is expected to be completed in October 2018, said Leprino spokeswoman Kim DeVigil.

Robert Tuttrup, the general manger for the Roswell facility and a Leprino vice president, said in a statement that the Roswell location has proven to be a good site.

“Roswell has been an ideal

location for our production for the past three decades, providing both a thriving community for our employees to live and work and close proximity to the dedicated farmers who supply the high-quality milk that is the chief ingredient in our products,” he said.

The New Mexico Economic Development Department announced Tuesday that it intends to provide a $200,000 grant for the project.

The statement also indicated that five additional jobs and the retention of at least 552 local employees were part of the deal, but DeVigil said the details are still being determined. She said both hourly and salaried employees are expected to work in the warehouse in the future.

The LEDA grant would require the approval of Chaves County officials, as the county would

Regional economic plan drafted, awaiting review

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

Major economic development goals for the region have been identified after months of planning, and now a draft of the development plan is under review by a federal agency to determine if regional groups will qualify for a $5,000 grant to implement ideas.

“I know that a few of our economic development corporations that are involved are following this (plan). They have listed their key contacts and steps in the document, so I think they are already using it as a guide,” said Mary Ann

Burr, planning program manager for the Southeast New Mexico Economic Development District, one of two regional development councils involved in the planning effort.

“It should not be a document that sits on a shelf. It is actively being worked.”

The Strengthening Economies Together (SET) planning process involves dozens of government and business entities and individuals from a five-county area. The counties represented by the Southeastern economic development group are Chaves, Eddy and Lea. The counties represented by the Eastern Plains Council of Governments are Curry and Roosevelt.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and the New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service facilitates SET planning, building on previous economic plans for the area.

The USDA National Review Committee is evaluating the regional SET plan now. If the group recommends it as a high-quality plan, a $5,000 grant will be awarded to help groups implement the goals or otherwise aid the plan’s intentions.

Beginning in March 2017, numerous meetings occurred throughout the counties to review economic and demographic data and solicit ideas for the future. As

The plan is available online at snmedd.com.

a result of those meetings, eight major goals were developed to promote business and job growth in the five economic sectors identified of importance to the area: agriculture and food production, tourism and hospitality, defense and security, transportation and energy.

The specific goals include the following: • increasing locally produced foods by 25 percent by 2021; • recruiting training institutions or workforce development programs to introduce a hospitality and ethics program by fall 2019; • identifying six viable funding sources for affordable housing by December 2019 (which falls into

Continuing the legacy The members of the oldest club in town, the Roswell Woman’s Club, had on April 4 the installation of the new officers for 2018/19. The installation took place during their monthly meeting at Los Cerritos Mexican Kitchen. The members promised the new officers to serve faithfully and not be too critical.

The first president of the Roswell Woman’s Club was Mrs. H. B. Kells who served from 1895-97 — at that time, women were identified by the name of their husbands, their maiden names often lost to history.

Leprino Foods’ local facility is one of nine U.S. plants operated by the 67-year company, which also has a corporate office in Denver and has overseas ventures in Singapore, China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and the United Kingdom. It is the nation’s largest

producer of mozzarella cheese, which is sold to brand-name food producers and restaurant chains. The company also makes dairy by-products such as lactose and whey proteins.

Forbes magazine ranked Leprino as the 152nd largest private company in the United States in 2017, with $3 billion a year in sales and 4,000 employees.

Murder Continued from Page A1

brought Montez’s mother, Regina Bejarano, and brother to tears. Garcia’s face showed little to no emotion.

After a moment, Bejarano spoke before the judge with her son at her side.

“I believe in God, and I am told to forgive,” Bejarano said. “And Christian, I do have a part in me that I do forgive you. I — it’s just hard. The way he went — I think I would have been better if we were there with him and if it was an illness. But for them to just call and say he was shot — killed. That’s what really hurt, ‘cause I didn’t get to say goodbye.

“You see how we hurt — I don’t wish that on anybody — I don’t even wish it on the Garcia family. I’m sure they’re hurting, but I think we’re hurting more.”

David Montez, the victim’s brother, spoke last on behalf of the family.

“It’s hard — being the only man to help — (being) around to help my dad,” David Montez said, his voice breaking and difficult to understand. “We just ask that you just take into consideration — it’s hard. It’s not easy for us four. Every day, it’s a

print promotion.

“This is for the people of Roswell,” former MainStreet board member Rita Kane-Doerhoefer said.

“And not only do families come, but teenagers come and they watch the movies.”

Neeb said he loves movies in the park and encouraged MainStreet to host them in different parks throughout the city in the past. Kane-Doerhoffer said MainStreet tried hosting movies downtown at the Chaves County Courthouse and Roswell Convention & Civic Center, but the traffic would stall to watch the movies. The event has also been hosted at the zoo and was in consideration for this season occurring at Cielo Grande and Cahoon Park when times conflicted with sports events.

“The challenge that we have with this is — movies in the park is good, but this is a downtown entity putting out movies in the park,” Neeb said. “The question is, the movies is not a mission of MainStreet Roswell,” Neeb said. “And that’s the hard part that you have. It doesn’t show up in their comprehensive plans or anything, so the challenge is that we love that MainStreet is able to partner and do this. The challenge we have is that it is $12,000 (covered by the City) — $4,000 is what MainStreet is putting out.

I’m assuming the sponsors are covering that.”

Though the city has covered costs for usage of a park in addition to Park and Recreation staff’s hourly rate to set up equipment in the past, Neeb said he believes if MainStreet increases sponsorship, the event would remain successful.

Other MainStreet’s hosted events are the UFO and Chile Cheese festivals. At the monthly event of First Fridays, the city has been providing tables and chairs at Reischman Park for MainStreet. The use of the

struggle “It’s just — I want it to be over — I just want to be over it.”

Following David Montez’s response, deputy district attorney Michael J. Thomas, alongside deputy DA Matt Stone, recommended seven years of incarceration for Garcia — followed by two years of parole.

Thomas also stated Garcia should receive two years, 329 days for time served.

Roswell defense attorney S. Doug Jones Witt then approached the lectern to argue against the prosecution’s recommendation.

Witt was joined with Garcia, who was restricted with hand and leg cuffs. “(The) bottom line is this is tragic,” Witt said.

“The jury, in looking at the evidence, concluded that Christian Garcia was sufficiently provoked in his killing of Manuel Montez — that’s what the jury has said.”

Witt went on to mention Garcia’s lack of criminal history, continuous cooperation with Roswell Police Department investigators, attentive family and young age before thanking Hudson.

After a moment, the judge spoke.

“This case reminds us

that life is unmeasurably precious as it is fragile,” Hudson said. “The jury found you guilty of (voluntary) manslaughter — that’s the legal term. But simply calling (it) that — I don’t think sufficiently appreciates what happened that night.

“You said in one of your statements, as I recall, that you didn’t think, that by pulling that trigger, Mr. Montez would die. You didn’t think it would kill him. But after you pulled that trigger, that bullet crashed through the window. It hurtled through the air. Until it ripped a hole in Manuel Montez’s heart.

“But what the evidence showed was that wasn’t where you stopped. You went back to your room to fix the gun, and then came back again — and shot a second time as Mr. Montez lay helplessly on the ground — with his life slowly slipping away.

“Mr. Garcia, you stole Mr. Montez’s life from him. You stole it from his family, and you stole it from his child. The victim’s, his family’s, his child — and even Ms. Bocelli. (A witness during the trial.) They’re left to wonder: ‘Why?’” Hudson then mentioned the different factors he

city’s public address (PA) system has ended and in May, MainStreet will not require this service according to Juanita Jennings, public affairs director.

“We just need to help MainStreet focus,” Roebuck said. “MainStreet has got a lot of work to do and this is not in their mission.

As a major contributor to MainStreet’s budget, it’s $40,000 a year and free space — which we appreciate and we need. I just don’t see that this is in their mission and since we are providing so much of their funding anyways, I would like to encourage them to focus more.”

MainStreet Roswell’s board of directors released this statement to the Daily Record on Wednesday morning: “MainStreet Roswell is very disappointed that the City Finance Committee voted to not continue to partner with them to bring the Free Summer Movies to the community by providing the use of the park, equipment and support staff at no charge. MainStreet Roswell realizes the City Council Finance Committee is looking at reducing costs to provide family activities and is trying to keep within the city’s budget. For several years now, the city provided support staff, park use and equipment use as an active partner with MainStreet Roswell. MainStreet Roswell worked with local business sponsors to pay for movie licensing costs (averaging $5,000 per summer) and provided volunteers to facilitate the actual movie night events. MainStreet Roswell handled all licensing, as well as promotion for the event through posters, printed fliers, social media, and on the website.

“As a small, nonprofit

organization, MainStreet Roswell does not have the extra funds to also pay the city fees in addition to the other expenses involved.

MainStreet Roswell felt it was a wonderful way to provide a great summer family activity for the Roswell community. They sincerely appreciate the support the city of Roswell provides the MainStreet Roswell program, but are truly sad that they will no longer be able to work with them to support the Free Summer Movies.”

After saying when the turnout is 300 to 400 attendees, Councilor Grant said the event was a good idea but also said MainStreet’s $4,000 raised for this event could be used for downtown. Grant added the decision should almost be in the hands of the city since the city was providing most of the funds.

Councilor Roebuck said in his opinion movies are accessible in the home and not an essential activity that children need. Neeb said the intent is to get people out and congregated together and the movie is secondary. Jim Burress, Parks and Recreation director, said it is his job to get families outside and said the event was more than a movie that brings families and extended families together.

“If MainStreet does not want to continue the events, then Parks and Recreation will decide on whether or not it becomes a recreation program as a city function — if it meets the criteria of why we do a program,” Neeb said.

considers before imposing a sentence.

“I ask myself, ‘What sentence would help you change your life where you wouldn’t break the law again?” Hudson said.

“What sentence will be a message to other people in our community that would prevent them from doing what you did? What sentence would be an appropriate punishment?

“The purpose of sentences is not to try and take a price from you that would be equal to what you took. No sentence I could impose could ever restore Manuel’s life.”

Hudson then sentenced Garcia to six years of incarceration, enhanced with an additional year pursuant New Mexico’s firearm statute.

After the sentencing,

Thursday, April 5, 2018 the Daily Record reached out to the DA’s office and defense counsel.

“We asked for seven and the judge gave them seven,” Stone said. “I felt like that was the appropriate sentencing. Judge Hudson did a really good job of going down through all the reasons why. “(We’re) disappointed that the jury only found him guilty of voluntary, but you know, if that’s what he’s guilty of, then this is the best outcome.”

Witt, looking at the entire case, said there were many arguable facts on both sides.

“Here you have Mr. Garcia, who is on his own property, having fired a warning shot, looks at his front window and sees a man approaching — shoots him,” Witt

explained. “On the other side, for the state, you’ve got the fact they were all using drugs. That Mr. Garcia did not stop with one shot — but shot him again.

“Clearly this is a case that could have gone either way. We’re obviously pleased with the jury’s decision to find him guilty of voluntary manslaughter and not second-degree murder. Are we disappointed with the judge’s decision, given the max on voluntary? Of course we are, but we knew it was coming — we knew it was coming.”

Garcia did not speak throughout the hearing.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Moving nuclear reactor waste can cause harm W

hile growing up, I’d occasionally have dental X-rays. In those days nobody thought twice if you got a little zap. Eventually it was discovered that dental technicians were getting too much standing by, plus the person in the chair might be harming their own thyroid gland or breasts.

So, more worldly dentists offered temporary lead shielding from the radiation: a heavy cape for your neck/upper torso. This way you were protected from potential harm, since over the years we’ve learned it can add up! Computerized dental imaging now makes this process even simpler, yet advises we still “cover up” and technicians also stand away.

I also remember as a kid, traveling across the southwest to California. In those days, it was Route 66: the roads were two-lane, one each way, narrower than today’s frontage roads. Nearing state lines, checkpoint stops would search our ice chests for produce.

USDA inspectors took no chances with agricultural pests coming into their states, potentially devastating crops. Although necessary, I’d be sad the rest of the day, because our snacks had been con-

fiscated.

Those checkpoints closed down when live foods could be politely irradiated — “nuked” — before going to market. Instead the checkpoints now focus on undocumented people and illegal drugs.

Wow, times have sure changed, but should we be checking again: this time for radioactive materials traveling our highways and railroads?

As I write this column, there’s proposed legislation for transporting high-level radioactive waste across state lines. House Resolution 3053 would affect 45 states, covering 84 percent of U.S. Congressional districts. Logic is simple: move thousands of trucks, trains and/or barge shipments of nuclear “reactor” waste throughout the U.S. — passing through the heart of major cities. Note: This is not about WiPP’s low-level nuclear waste; it’s about the waste from nuclear reactors, which generate electricity, most coming from the

east coast.

Guess where they want to send it? New Mexico, for near “ground-level” storage, as an alternative to “inside” Yucca Mountain, Nevada. This proposed federal legislation, entitled Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2017, could potentially harm every person in the U.S., and possibly worldwide.

Safety is my first concern for everybody on transportation routes and at destination. Today’s railroads weren’t designed to handle these extreme heavy loads. If it leaks — most is in liquid form — it drips along routes and spreads throughout communities. Leaking or not, waiting at railroad crossings, you’d likely get more than dental chair exposure as it passes by.

What if the train is delayed and you’re stuck in traffic? In some cities, trains stack up for hours, some routinely for 24 hours. Are you working/sleeping nearby?

Radiation exposure builds up, and over time the body can break down from its effects, yet you won’t know what you did wrong to get sick.

Even without leaks, train cars/ trucks/cars passing each other can become irradiated, which

includes transported products.

Maybe it’s food going to the grocery store — possibly radioactive when eaten — or medical supplies, or rebar for construction? Now your body or building is at risk. Even tanks and ships are known to have metal fatigue from radiation, so don’t be fooled into thinking metal train cars/tracks won’t stress, too, or give out someday.

What if there’s a leak? Unknowingly walk or drive through it, or plow it into the soil, then spread it with your shoes/tires/tractor. It’s like the door knob theory of catching germs, or coughing/sneezing and unintentionally making others sick. Leaking radiation is easy to spread, even when the wind blows.

You won’t know it’s happening, yet its health consequences can be devastating. Yes, accidents happen, so don’t invite more.

My second concern is the location of storage sites or dumps for nuclear reactor waste. Repeatedly using the “wrong” geology — Nevada’s Yucca Mountain and now New Mexico’s Holtec site — has become an intentional oversight in this quest. It guarantees radioactive releases to groundwater, air and soil. Why? New Mexico’s Permian Basin,

also home to our rich oil and gas fields, is made possible because of Karst geology — porous like lava rock, but more so, as caves/ sinkholes. Imagine Swiss cheese when you think of the ground underneath us — having lots of air pockets, only huge. That’s why we have Carlsbad Caverns, Bottomless Lakes and other wonders; plus the gaseous and fluid movement that carved out these underground spaces is still occurring.

Although Karst geology is perfect for storing oil and gas deposits, it’s the “wrong” geology for storing nuclear reactor waste “above” it. What is the best place? Likely granite, because that’s one of the hardest rocks. If there is a radioactive leak, it’s less likely to contaminate your world.

Please, call/write your elected representatives and most important: Don’t consent to radioactive waste from nuclear reactors.

Guest Editorial

Context matters in scrutiny of Pruitt

Panama City News Herald

Yes, he spent over $30,000 on security during the administrator’s trip to Italy, but his predecessor had security expenses of $56,192 on her trip to Italy.

As part of their watchdog function, the media play a significant role in identifying and reporting on profligate spending by government agencies. But it’s curious how those with the letter “R” after their names seem to come in for heightened scrutiny.

As Jazz Shaw of HotAir.com noted recently, the media have taken a keen interest in the travel expenses of EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. Most recently, a Washington Post article noted the travel costs for Mr. Pruitt’s round-theclock security detail exceeded $30,000 during the administrator’s trip to Italy in June, according to documents released by the agency.

The report went on to note that the trip for Mr. Pruitt and his aides included private tours of the Vatican and meetings with papal officials and business executives in Rome. The total tab for the trip was approximately $120,000.

Left unsaid was any context.

Mr. Shaw points out that in 2017, Mr. Pruitt and his security detail made two overseas trips, spending $84,000 on a G-7 venture and $40,000 on a trip to Morocco. In 2016, Barack Obama’s EPA administrator Gina McCarthy had security expenses of $68,382, $45,139 and $74,737 for trips to Ghana, Peru and Tokyo, respectively.

She also spent $56,192 on security for a trip to Italy. In other words, Ms. McCarthy’s security bill in Italy was $26,000 higher than the one for which Mr. Pruitt is taking heat. And Ms. McCarthy also visited the Vatican for a discussion about climate change.

Ms. McCarthy’s predecessor in the Obama administration EPA, Lisa Jackson, was no better. Mr. Shaw noted that her security detail rang up a $155,723 tab for a 2011 trip to China.

Yet somehow, none of these expenditures raised any eyebrows. “I’m simply failing to find any sort of outraged pieces about how much all those trips cost or asking why there was a need for security details to accompany the EPA chiefs,” Mr. Shaw writes. “But ever since Donald Trump came to town, it appears to be a subject of keen interest.

It almost seems as if there’s some deeper, hidden meaning here, but I just can’t put my finger on it.”

Indeed, it’s an enigma.

Republican and Democratic administrations — and Congress, as well — deserve all the scrutiny the Fourth Estate can muster — and more. But the aversion to fiscal responsibility is hardly a one-party problem — it’s endemic on both sides of the aisle.

Whether Mr. Pruitt could be a bit more frugal with his travel expenses is a matter of legitimate debate. But it’s hard not to conclude that those now racing to condemn the EPA chief are less concerned with how he spent taxpayer dollars than they are with shilling for the Trump resistance.

Will voters crack down on campaign spending?

A

t a candidate event last weekend, the questions quickly turned from the usual issues to fund-raising. How was she raising money? Who was an acceptable donor and who wasn’t? In other words, whose pocket would she be in?

The candidate explained carefully that most of her donations were from individuals, that she would accept donations from organizational Political Action Committees (PACs) as long as she already espoused their cause, and that she would not accept money from corporate PACs. Normally, certain issues dominate during an election year, but I don’t remember such a focus on money. It’s because even less informed constituents are uncomfortably aware that the deluge of cash in election campaigns has delivered results we don’t like, both here and in Washington.

Last week Common Cause New Mexico released the results of its annual poll. Not only are voters in all demographics unhappy with the state’s direction, they want to see election reforms. The results were a surprise to pundits and to Viki Harrison, Common Cause executive director.

Sherry Robinson All She Wrote The big numbers show support of campaign reform: 90 percent would require all large political contributions from individuals, corporations, PACs, nonprofits and unions to be made public; of those 78 percent are in strong support.

91 percent would require registered lobbyists to make public the bills or issues they’re hired to push.

86 percent would prevent former legislators from lobbying for at least two years after their term ends; 68 percent were in strong support.

70 percent support an independent commission redrawing legislative districts rather than legislators.

84 percent would forbid legislators from voting on bills that would benefit them financially.

Voters were more divided on the impact of PACs. When they learned that during the last election, PACs spent more money on political ads in some races than the candidates did

themselves, 48 percent said they believe the PAC ads had a large impact on New Mexico races.

And 61 percent of voters (67 percent of Democrats, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Republicans) believe that limiting the amount of campaign contributions to candidates helps to prevent corruption.

The poll also plumbed voter unhappiness and found that 52 percent of voters (62 percent of Independents, 49 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of Republicans) believe the state is headed in the wrong direction. A slim 24 percent think it’s moving in the right direction.

In 2014, by comparison, 41 percent liked the direction and 38 percent didn’t.

Dissatisfaction varied in different locations: 61 percent, Albuquerque; 38 percent, northwest; 46, north central; 44 percent, south; 47 percent, East Side. The dissatisfied numbers were 55 percent for women, 48 percent for men; Hispanic and Anglos were both 52 percent; and age groups ranged from 58 percent to 46 percent with young people the most dissatisfied.

Common Cause this year

asked specific questions about the Legislature. Remarkably, 65 percent want to extend the length of the legislative session, which meets for 30 days in even numbered years and 60 days in odd numbered years.

This is an interesting idea. Our current timeframes give the sessions a breathless, marathon quality that doesn’t lend itself to good deliberation.

And 54 would pay legislators a yearly salary equivalent to the average New Mexico household.

New Mexico is the last state with an unpaid legislature. This would increase the candidate pool. Right now we’re limited to the people who can afford to serve. In rural areas, the numbers may be small.

This year, you too can question candidates about their financial support. Some candidates will pick and choose their donors, and some will fill their baskets with anybody’s handout. In a hard fight, will principled candidates lower their standards?

Vintage motorcyle gets restored

Local motorcycle enthusiast Jimmy Franks restored this vintage motorcycle that was sitting on the roof of Korky’s Motorcycle Sales, 1805 S. Main St., for about 50 years. Franks said the 1966 Honda S65 took about three years to fully restore. “It was ridable after about six months,” Franks said. “However, it was missing the front fender and ignition switch, which took two years of searching to find the correct ones. Ralph Coen, owner of Korky’s, originally bought the bike for $25. “The day he bought it was the same day the Korky’s business sign was being installed. He had the sign installers lift it to the roof since they had a crane or forklift,” Franks said.

Ray Wilkins, a former England captain, dies at 61

By Steve Douglas AP Sports Writer

Ray Wilkins, an elegant midfielder who captained England’s national soccer team and played for illustrious teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and AC Milan in a 24-year career, died Wednesday. He was 61.

St. George’s Hospital said in a statement on behalf of Wilkins’ family that he died Wednesday morning. Wilkins had been in an induced coma after a cardiac arrest led to a fall on Friday.

Nicknamed “Butch,” Wilkins played 84 times for England — captaining the team for 10 games. He also played for Rangers and Queens Park Rangers, among others, in a club career that ended in 1997.

He went on to coach QPR and Fulham, as well as having a brief spell in charge of Jordan’s national team. He

was assistant coach at a slew of clubs, most notably Chelsea from 2008-10.

Chelsea described Wilkins as a “popular and much-loved figure” who was “widely regarded by the many people who met him as one of the nicest guys in football, possessing a wonderful turn of phrase and a contagious love for the sport.”

Wilkins’ soothing voice and insight made him stand out as a commentator on British TV and radio in recent years.

As a player, he was a technically gifted midfielder, two-footed, and an intelligent passer of the ball.

Wilkins “was the consummate midfielder who possessed brilliant footballing skills and a brain to match,” United said in a statement.

As a player, he won the FA Cup with United in 1983 and the Scottish league title with Rangers in 1989.

In between, he moved to AC Milan in

1984 and was one of the few high-profile English players to play abroad. He played in Milan for three years before a short stint at Paris Saint-Germain.

At international level, one of Wilkins’ most famous moments came in 1986 when he became the first England player to be sent off in a World Cup after throwing the ball at a referee during a group game against Morocco.

“A wonderful footballer and a delightful man,” tweeted former England striker Gary Lineker, who played alongside Wilkins in the 1986 World Cup and finished as the tournament’s top scorer. “It was a pleasure to have played alongside him with England. No teammate was more helpful and supportive. I’ll be forever grateful.”

Wilkins is survived by his wife, Jackie, two children and several grandchildren.

Perhaps the question asked most frequently in primary and urgent care offices across the country is, “Do I have a cold, a sinus infection, or the flu?” While your physician and local urgent care center can undoubtedly rule out things like the flu and strep throat in minutes with a simple swab test, discernment between a cold and sinus infection is trickier – and in many cases, irrelevant. Only a small number of cases involving cold and flu-like symptoms are bacterial in nature. Therefore, the vast majority of cases will not respond to antibiotics. This leaves most patients with no course of action but to try and get through the virus with minimal pain and suffering. We’ll focus on those efforts here: • Manage a fever. A fever is rare with a cold, in both adults and children. One of the best ways to distinguish a cold from a suspected case of flu is by a fever. If you or your child experiences a fever of 101 or higher for more than a day, it’s best to get a flu test just to be safe. Otherwise, acetaminophen is the preferred method for reducing fever – just be VERY mindful of dosing instructions, and don’t take more than one medicine at a time containing acetaminophen. Ibuprofen can also be used, but avoid aspirin and NEVER give it to a child under age 12.

• Stop a runny nose/post-nasal drip. Your sore throat (if not a strep infection) is most likely being caused by nasal discharge dripping down your throat. The best way to dry it up is with antihistamines. Note: Antihistamines can make some people very sleepy, so plan accordingly.

• Un-clog your nose. A stuffed nose is a terrible feeling, and can prevent you from sleeping for several nights in a row during a cold. Talk to your doctor or the pharmacist about the best over-thecounter decongestant choice for you, and be cautious not to overuse.

• Relieve sinus pressure and pain. Nasal steroids, both over the counter and prescription, can relieve cold symptoms and seasonal allergies.

• Loosen cough or mucus. If you can’t kick the cough and move the mucus out, try an expectorant to help thin the thick drainage and move it out through nose and mouth.

• Reduce coughing. For many people, the cough is the worst part of a cold. Try an antitussive or another product with dextromethorphan to help suppress the cough and get some sleep.

• Relieve a sore throat. Gargle with salty warm water a couple of times per day, and try throat lozenges or an analgesic at bedtime. Monitor your throat for white or yellow spots or severe/increasing pain that may indicate a strep infection.

• Get some ZZZZZ’s. Your immune system needs sleep to fight back. Nighttime over-the-counter products can provide much releif but should be used judiciously. Be sure to read labels and find products safe for you, especially if you have high blood pressure or other medical conditions, or taking other products with similar ingredients.

One of the most confusing parts of diagnosing a cold is the multitude of symptoms. For instance, you may be diagnosed with an inner ear infection, a lower respiratory tract infection, or sinusitis. However, the majority of all of these cases, too, are viral in nature – not bacterial. Thus antibiotics will still be ineffective in treating or shortening the illness.

It’s important, however, to see your physician if your symptoms move beyond the basic ones listed above. A lower respiratory infection can harbor in the lungs and turn into pneumonia, and sinusitis left untreated can result in a bacterial infection. Your doctor is the best resource to distinguish between a viral and bacterial condition, and to recommend the appropriate course of treatment, if any.

"Keep your immune system strong with proper diet and exercise, practice good hygiene to avoid catching the viruses others are carrying, and get your flu shot to reduce your odds of a more severe illness and complications,” advises Dr. Pinon.

For the times when the common cold turns into something more complex, it’s important to have a primary care physician who knows you and your history, and can quickly evaluate and treat you appropriately.

Ponderosa Medical Associates is now accepting new patients. If you would like to make an appointment, please call our office at (575) 622-1411 or visit EasternNewMexicoMedicalGroup.com.

Cosby jury filled as defense alleges discrimination NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A jury of seven men and five women — 10 of them white, two of them black — was seated Wednesday to decide Bill Cosby’s fate in the biggest celebrity trial of the #MeToo era, after a day marked by defense accusations of racial discrimination.

Cosby’s lawyers alleged a member of the prosecution team made a disparaging remark after a black woman was removed from consideration to serve on the jury in the 80-year-old comedian’s retrial on sexual assault charges.

The defense didn’t reveal in open court what they claim had been said, but sought to use the remark as evidence that prosecutors illegally removed the woman

from the jury pool on the basis of her race.

Prosecutors pushed back, noting two black jurors had been seated, and the judge said he didn’t believe the prosecution had any “discriminatory intent.”

Cosby’s lawyers eventually relented, and once jury selection resumed, three white men and a white woman were quickly placed on the panel. That brought the total number picked over three days to 12 — a full jury. Six alternates also have to be picked.

The racial and gender makeup of this jury is identical to the one that failed to reach a verdict in last year’s trial.

The battle over the black juror’s removal highlighted a vast

racial disparity in the suburban Philadelphia jury pool that limited the number of black people available for consideration.

Just 10 of about 240 prospective jurors questioned on the first three days of jury selection were black, or about 4.2 percent. The black population in Montgomery County is about 9.6 percent black, according to the latest U.S. Census estimates.

The county says the names of people called for jury duty are selected randomly from a master list that combines voter registration records and driver’s license records.

On Wednesday, Cosby lawyer Kathleen Bliss said in court that someone connected with the

defense team heard someone on the prosecution side say “something that was discriminatory and repulsive” after the black woman was dismissed.

“By all appearances, she was a perfectly qualified juror who stated that she could be fair and impartial,” Bliss said, adding there was no explanation for the woman’s removal “other than her race.”

District Attorney Kevin Steele responded there was “absolutely no legitimacy” to the defense’s challenge, adding that prosecutors had no problem seating the two other black people who’d appeared for individual questioning.

“Of the two opportunities we

have had to take a member of the African-American community, we have done so,” Steele told Judge Steven O’Neill. “For them to now make the claim that the strike of an individual establishes some type of pattern is, I think unfortunately, not being done for this court but for the media behind us.”

Steele didn’t give a reason why the prosecution used one of its seven peremptory strikes on the woman, who had said she could ignore what she knows about the Cosby case and the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct in order to serve as an impartial juror. She also said being a domestic violence victim wouldn’t color how she serves.

French has no regrets, gives football his all

By J.T. Keith Roswell Daily Record

You play to win the game. Hello?

Any sports fan knows that sound bite. It is shown on ESPN as one of the greatest quotes of all time. Little did former Goddard All-State football player Cody French know that he would one day be coached in defensive back drills by none other than Herm Edwards. Edwards had not coached in the NFL since he last walked the sidelines with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008.

With four practices left in spring practice and the spring football game next Friday, senior walkon Cody French needs to have the biggest game of his college career to date just to be invited to summer tryout to make the team in the fall. Not only is this tough on him and his teammates, but Edwards made an announcement on Tuesday that he plans on trying to reduce football scholarships to 85.

Edwards informed his players in a team meeting that some of them might be cut from the team after the spring game at 7 p.m. on April 13, and that includes players on scholarship.

“There was a message sent,” Edwards said, “and the message was very clear, that we’re in the process of evaluating the players. Between now and next week, you’re going to find out the situation here whether you’re going to be a part of it or not. I told them that when I first took the job, and that’s the way, to be honest with them. It’s always evaluation. It’s always participation.”

Sadness

When the Sun Devils made the announcement they had fired head coach Todd Graham in his sixthyear after leading them to the Hyundai Sun Bowl.

Vice President of Athletics Ray Anderson made a change, saying that going 7-5 was average and not the aspirations of trying to win a national championship.

“When coach Graham was fired, I felt sad,” French said. “All I could tell him was ‘thank you’ for allowing me to be a part of this team and the opportunity to walk-on.

When he was fired, I felt

like, oh no. I just established a relationship with coach Graham, and now I have to start the process all over again with another coach.”

For French and fellow players on the ASU team, a few of them did not like the decision and didn’t know what a change in staff meant for them individually and as a team.

For French, the biggest difference between this year and last year was that he was on the team, so he had an advantage of being on the team when practice started than having to wait for Edwards to invite him to walk-on and tryout out.

Meeting Herm

As the meeting with Edwards approached, French felt nervous and excited at the same time.

Edwards laid out his plan and told the athletes that everyone had a fresh start.

No matter what someone had previously, it was a Arizona State Communications Photo new start. No one is guaranteed a spot.

Former Goddard football player Cody French is walking on again to make the team. New ASU coach Herm Edwards will only “He was kind of blunt,” keep 85 players on scholarship.

French said. “He came in as a businessman at first French continues to play the way he was talking, the game he loves, because but he really opened up to of the passion he has for us after the first meeting. it.

Ohtani homers again, Cozart lifts Angels past Indians

By The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani hit his second homer in two games at Angel Stadium in the fifth inning, and Zack Cozart had walk-off homer in the 13th inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.

One day after Ohtani hit an electrifying three-run homer in his first home plate appearance, the Japanese two-way rookie connected for a tying two-run homer off AL Cy Young winner Corey Kluber in his second game at the Big A. Neither team scored again after Ohtani’s blast until Cozart, the Angels’ new infielder, connected for his first career walk-off homer against Zach McAllister (0-1).

Ohtani also singled leading off the 10th to go 2 for 5, giving him six hits this season and five in his only two home games. The Angels’ rookie sensation will make his first home pitching start Sunday against Oakland, one week after beating the Athletics on the road in his bigleague pitching debut.

The Angels hadn’t had a walk-off homer in extra innings since Aug. 9, 2014, when Albert Pujols did it.

Noe Ramirez (1-1), the Angels’ eighth reliever, came on with two outs in the 13th and struck out Erik Gonzalez with two Indians on base.

DIAMONDBACKS 3, DODGERS 0

PHOENIX (AP) — Patrick Corbin shut out Los Angeles on one hit over 7 1/3 innings, striking out a career-high 12 for Arizona.

The Diamondbacks swept the three-game series and won their ninth straight regular-season game against the Dodgers, going back to a pair of three-game series sweeps last season.

Corbin (2-0) retired 14 batters in a row to start the game, eight on strikeouts. The Dodgers struggled to make solid contact, and it took Matt Kemp’s bloop double with two outs in the fifth to break up

the 85-man roster. They will let us know after evaluations to see if we made the team to be able to come back for summer. In summer, we have another 22 recruits coming in. Then I have to (work to) make it (on) the team in fall camp.”

Second-year in spring practice

French is alternating between the second and third teams and is playing every defensive back position so far in camp. Last spring, French was hesitant about what to do and how to make plays. He was learning his way around the football field. This year, he has gotten his body stronger and can lift 315 pounds on the bench press. French runs a 4.62 40-yard dash. This year, he has no problem lining up in the right position and with the plays that are being called. He is a lot more aggressive with his physicality, hitting and not letting receivers off the line of scrimmage as easy. More importantly, his confidence is up.

“For me, the game has slowed down,” French stated. “That because I’m confident in myself, and I know what I’m doing.

I’m excited, and I can feel it when I’m playing. The game is a lot slower than when I first showed up last year.”

Grind

las Keuchel allowed five hits and two runs — one earned — with four walks in five innings. Brad Peacock (1-0) allowed two hits in three scoreless innings.

Corbin was taken out after walking Kemp with one out in the eighth inning.

Brad Boxberger earned his second save with a scoreless ninth. The Dodgers had only four base runners, two in the ninth on Boxberger walks. The Diamondbacks scored a run in each of the first three innings.

YANKEES 7, RAYS 2

NEW YORK (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton turned boos to cheers with his first Yankee Stadium home run in pinstripes, an emphatic go-ahead drive in the first inning to helo New York complete a twogame sweep.

Stanton turned on a high slider from Blake Snell (0-1), driving the ball 458 feet to left field at 117.9 mph for a two-run homer with the hardest-hit ball in the major leagues so for this young season.

Since Edwards’ announcement as the coach, ASU has hired a new strength and conditioning coach, Joe Connolly. Connolly was the former assistant athletic director for sports performance at the University of Massachusetts. He has coached current Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and worked at Louisville. Connolly has ASU focused on heavy lifting and running.

The team works out every day except Friday.

The runs would consist of long-running, which would be either full gassers (length of the football field, end zone to end zone) or half gassers (sideline to sideline) and then on other days, they would run fast twitch drills and agility drills, along with 40-yard dashes. This was until spring break. March 13 was their first day in pads.

In practice on Tuesday, he got into it with receiver N’Keal Harry in a drill. French was blocking Harry, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 214 pounds. Harry didn’t like being taken to the ground and both players had to be separated.

New Number

Last season, French wore number 28. This year in camp, he is number 12.

Another difference between this season and last season is French enjoys going to practice, because it is fun. Last season, it was drudgery and a lot of the players just put in their time. When Edwards blows

Acquired from Miami in December, the major league home run champion was booed a day earlier when he struck out a career-worst five times in the Yankees’ home opener.

Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez also hit tworun homers as the Bronx Bombers lived up to their nickname. Judge connected off reliever Matt Andriese, the pitcher who gave up a home run to Judge in the slugger’s first big league at-bat in August 2016. Sanchez’s drive ended an 0-for-17 slide.

Luis Severino (2-0) allowed two runs and five hits with seven strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings, the longest outing by a New York starter this year. The Yankees improved to 4-2 under new manager Aaron Boone and won their 11th straight home series against the Rays. Tampa Bay has lost five straight games since beating Boston in its opener and is off to its worst start since 2011.

METS 4, PHILLIES 2.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes homered, Amed Rosario hit a tworun triple and New York’s bullpen faced the minimum batters over five scoreless innings.

N ew Y ork swep t th e weather-shortened twogame series.

With runners at the corners and two outs in the sixth, Rosario cleared the bases with a liner over the head of shallow-playing right fielder Nick Williams to chase reliever Drew Hutchison (1-1) and snap a 2-2 tie. The 22-year-old Rosario has driven in five runs in as many games.

Mets relievers continued their strong start in a game that started 97 minutes late due to rain.

Converted starter Robert Gsellman (1-0) threw two perfect innings. Hansel Robles struck out the side in his first appearance this season. A.J. Ramos pitched a scoreless eighth

and closer Jeurys Familia earned his third save in three chances. Mets relievers have allowed three runs in 20 1/3 innings (1.33 ERA), and the pitching staff as a whole has 61 strikeouts through the season’s first five games.

ASTROS 3, ORIOLES 2

HOUSTON (AP) — Josh Reddick had three hits, and Alex Bregman’s tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning lifted Houston past Baltimore for a three-game sweep.

Miguel Castro (0-1) took over for Dylan Bundy to start the seventh and walked Derek Fisher with one out. Fisher stole second base with two outs and the Astros went on top when he scored on Bregman’s single to left field.

Reddick, who started the season 1 for 11, singled three times after hitting a two-run homer and a grand slam in his last two at-bats Tuesday night.

Houston starter Dal-

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brian Dozier homered for the third straight game, Miguel Sano drove in a pair of runs in frigid conditions and Minnesota handed Pittsburgh its first loss of the season.

Dozier hit a drive off the top of the left-field wall in the third inning for his fourth home run in four days. Sano finished 3 for 5 and started Minnesota’s four-run rally in the sixth with an RBI single. He added another run-scoring single in the seventh. Eduardo Escobar also drove in two runs for the Twins.

Taylor Rogers (1-0) got two outs in the fifth to pick up the win.

Josh Bell hit a 432foot home run through the snow flurries in the first inning for Pittsburgh.

Corey Dickerson added two hits for the Pirates, but Pittsburgh’s attempt to start 5-0 for the first time since 1983 ended when the Twins jumped on Ivan Nova (0-1) and the bullpen in the sixth.

BRAVES 7, NATIONALS 1

ATLANTA (AP) — Mike Foltynewicz outpitched Max Scherzer, Preston Tucker hit a three-run homer and Atlanta beat Washington.

Foltynewicz (1-0) allowed four hits, one run and two walks and had eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. He snapped an eight-start skid during which he went 0-7 with a 7.34 ERA. Scherzer (1-1) gave up six hits, two walks and five runs — two earned — in five innings. The threetime Cy Young Award winner struck out seven.

The Braves, with three straight seasons of at least 90 losses, improved to 4-2 and are two games over .500 for the first time since April 22, 2015.

Former Goddard standout Cody French gives fans some dap after practice.

the whistle, his team can’t believe that practice is over, because they want to keep going. Another difference is that ASU does more team drills, and it’s similar to an NFL practice. French felt like there was a lot of wasted time during practice. This year, practices are a lot smoother.

Regrets

“I do regret that I didn’t do this sooner,” French said. “I see the opportunity that scholarship guys coming out of a junior college or high school gets. That (is) what sucks about being a walk-on in my situation because I’m still trying to fight for a spot and these new incoming guys, as soon as they get here they are already ahead of me. On the depth chart, they’re ahead of me and that’s what stinks.

I’m like if I played college ball out of high school, I’d

be in their situation right here right now, instead of scratching for reps.”

French realized his one year at Odessa College playing baseball that he liked baseball, but he didn’t love baseball, not with the commitment it takes to play at the junior college level. He didn’t like that baseball was a slow sport or how technical the game was. In junior college, the hours were not regimented.

He could literally spend seven days a week playing baseball. He would practice from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

He would play 60 games during the winter and 70-80 games in the spring.

French says baseball was not a sport that ignited him, and he found out to play baseball at that level, he had to love it, and he didn’t.

He regretted not playing football out of high school.

French loves the physicali-

ty of hitting in football.

Engineer

French is an outstanding student. He has a 3.35 GPA in mechanical engineering.

Mom

The thing that stuck in French’s mind was when he told his mom, Terri, that he wanted to walk on at ASU’s football team. His mother said, “Do it.”

“My parents tell me as long as you’re doing what you love,” French said, “and you’re happy, then his parents are happy. I’m at one of the top engineering schools throughout the country.”

Dominate

French wants to be a dominant special-teams player and work his way up to the first string. He feels like he grinds and gives his best every day.

French believes he is making a strong case to be on the 85-man roster because

of those qualities and hustle.

No regrets

“My mental state is I’m going to make the team,” French said. “When I go to practice, I have a goal to give my best and make sure I left everything on the field so that if I did get cut, I won’t have any regrets.

Nothing is guaranteed, and that’s hard. You have to go to work and hope for the best. If I get cut at least I tried what I loved, so I won’t have any regrets. I’m happy I’m balling out, and I had the opportunity to get this far. I enjoy practice and competing with the athletes. I feel very confident going against the athletes I go against every day.

I have no regrets.”

French will find out if his play this spring has done enough to earn him a shot at fall camp later in the summer.

US seizes pot-growing houses tied to China-based criminals

By Don Thompson Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— Hundreds of federal and local law enforcement agents have seized roughly 100 Northern California houses purchased with money wired to the United States by a Chinese-based crime organization and used to grow massive amounts of marijuana illegally, authorities said Wednesday.

The raids culminated a monthslong investigation focusing on dozens of Chinese nationals who bought homes in seven counties.

Most of the buyers were in the country legally and were not arrested as authorities investigate if they were indebted to the gang and forced into the work, U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott said.

Much of the pot was shipped to Georgia, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania through Atlanta, Chicago and New York City, he said. The drug is legal in California but requires permits to grow and can’t be sent across state lines. It is still banned by the U.S. government.

Black-market pot-growing houses have proliferated in the inland California region where authorities carried out the raids, and many of them were traced to Chinese criminal organizations from the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid2000s, Scott said. The high number of grow houses in the area may be because of low property prices compared with the Bay Area and the state’s large Chinese population, the prosecutor said.

Scott called the recent crackdown “a game-changer” that may have cost the criminal organization “hundreds of millions of dollars” in lost drug profits and the money it spent on the homes.

“It hits the criminals right where it counts — in the pocketbook,” he said.

Authorities tracked at least 125 wire transfers totaling $6.3 million from

Fujian Province in China, all just below the $50,000 limit imposed by the Chinese government.

Officials are trying to learn if the homebuyers are what Scott called “indentured servants” — indebted to the Chinese gang and brought to the United States to buy and tend the grow houses. Many speak only Mandarin Chinese.

“We’re treating them as victims” who may have been “forced or coerced” to work in what can be toxic environments, FBI Special Agent in Charge Sean Ragan said.

The buyers generally used the same Sacramento real estate agents, borrowed from private lenders instead of traditional banks, and used straw buyers who purchased the properties on behalf of the real owners.

The U.S. crackdown comes as California is months into creating the world’s largest legal marijuana market amid uncertainty about whether the U.S. government will try to shut it down.

More than 500 officers, including SWAT teams, fanned out over two days to search and seize 81 houses and two real estate businesses. Another 25 houses were raided previously.

They seized more than 61,000 marijuana plants, 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of processed marijuana, at least $100,000 in cash and 15 firearms, including one that had been stolen.

The U.S. Department of Justice said it was one of the largest residential forfeiture operations ever. Prosecutors will now ask judges to transfer ownership of the houses to the U.S. government to resell while they track the enterprise back to its roots, Scott said.

Most of the suburban houses were valued at $300,000 to $700,000, though some were in rural areas and some in more upscale neighborhoods.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement that transnational criminal organizations are “a blight on our communities, bringing danger-

McGregor Scott, the United States Attorney For the Eastern District of California, discusses the months-long investigation that led to the law enforcement raids on illegal pot grows in roughly 100 Northern California homes, during a news conference, Wednesday in Sacramento, Calif. The raids, conducted Tuesday and Wednesday in multiple counties, focused on homes purchased with money wired to the United States by a Chinese-based crime organization and used to grow massive amounts of marijuana. ous drugs to our streets and trying to impose a false sovereignty over our neighborhoods.”

The Chinese consulate general’s office in San Francisco did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Illegal grow houses have

been a widespread problem in Northern California for at least a dozen years.

Sacramento officials have estimated that there might be as many as 1,000 illegal grow houses in California’s capital city.

Authorities previously said the practice of growing

Roswell Daily Record

Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I’m writing in response to the man who wants to keep his cancer prognosis secret until he nears the end (“Keeping It to Myself,” Jan. 11).

My mother was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer that had spread to her brain.

Her dizziness is how we found out. She didn’t want to tell anyone for a while (which surprised me because she had always been a drama queen and a hypochondriac), but she ended up telling. It was the best thing she could’ve done.

The four of us kids were there with her through her treatments, she became much closer to the sister she had spent decades hating and she found out who her true friends were. Mom lived four years, until she passed in 2006. It’s still raw for me. But I’m grateful for the time we had to get closer and share our lives.

I hope “Keeping” takes your advice and tells his friends.

If he does, he may find these hard times to be some of the

“best” times. That’s what my mom said.

CLAUDIA IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CLAUDIA: Thank you for sharing. I opened the question to my readers, and like you, most — but not all — agreed with my answer. Read on: DEAR ABBY: As a former cancer patient and licensed therapist, I’d urge “Keeping” not to share that information if he doesn’t want to. Truth is, not all people who hear the news will be supportive. Some will avoid him, some will pity him, and others will say amazingly inappropriate and unhelpful things. A prognosis of two years is a long time for people to react to him — and for him to handle their reactions. I found it stressful to cope with the emotions of others as they reacted to my situation. Until “Keeping” is ready, he should be cautious about with whom he shares his diagnosis.

LYN IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: After chemo and clinical trials failed to contain my husband’s cancer, he was told he had less than a year to live.

We had already shared the initial prognosis with family and

Comics friends. Loved ones from near and far have visited him, called and emailed. Their visits have done more for his quality of life than any drug, and have probably extended it.

He’s also made once-ina-lifetime trips this past year with siblings, which wouldn’t have happened if we had waited to disclose his prognosis.

Our adult children and grandchildren have spent more time with us and have become more loving and tolerant of each other. “Keeping’s” next two years are a blessing and a gift.

I hope he uses every moment wisely.

DEBRA IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I was in the same situation and, for me, it was not even a choice. I felt I had to tell everyone in our circle. The result was a warm outpouring of support and concern, even from neighbors we barely knew, which really helped my wife.

I have been very fortunate.

My new treatment worked, I am now in remission, and we no longer need day-to-day support. But we have wonderful memories of people who were eager to help. We have established deeper friendships and the experience has made us more generous, too.

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: When I’m setting up for a new baby sitter, and after I thoroughly check her references, I always invite the prospective sitter over for a meet and greet.

I want to get to know her, see her interact with our kids, go over the ground rules, show her around my home and property, and just get a feeling for how things will go when we leave her with our kids.

This provides me with peace of mind. Do your readers have any other baby-sitting hints to help us harried parents?

Thank you!

Emily R., Fort Wayne, Ind. Dear Reader: Yes, parents, what baby-sitting hints can you share for the upcoming spring and summer, when you’re bound to be busy? How has technology changed the baby-sitting game? Do you use technology to help you monitor your baby sitters, as well as your kids and their activities? Email Hel-

Dear Heloise: I would like to comment about GMOs (from a February column). I am married to a third-generation farmer, and my son and son-in-law are both farmers.

If the term were “genetically enhanced organisms” instead of “genetically modified organisms,” Americans would embrace this as a good and healthy innovation. The United States has the best and most affordable food supply in the world. Farmers and ranchers work hard and long to make sure that it stays this way.

We eat the same products that we raise to help feed our great nation and the entire world — we won’t feed you anything but the best! Thanks.

Ruth D., via email HHHHH Dear Heloise: I have acquired some old letters that my grandmother had sent to my grandfather during World War II. They were written in pencil and are beginning to fade. I was hoping that you might have a hint for me on how to preserve them.

T.H., Rapid City, S.D.

Your Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You know how to handle a difficult controversy. You have a tendency to go overboard when making a point.

Listen carefully to what is happening with a loved one. This person is telling you a lot more than you might realize.

Tonight: Suggest a new type of pastime.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Communication between you and an associate could fall flat, partially because of a misunderstanding.

Trying to straighten out a matter that both parties care a lot about might be more complicated than you originally had thought. Be sincere and open.

Tonight: Out late.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Defer to someone whom you feel has more control than you do.

This person would like to make an idea and situation work, and he or she won’t work against you in any way.

Remain sure of yourself, and be willing to connect on a deeper level. Tonight: Flow with the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Stay on top of a situation.

Remain focused on the issue at hand, and use your imagination to find a workable solution. Others might not think your idea is as good as you believe it to be, but you will want to try it out anyway. Tonight: Make sure you include some exercise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Rethink a personal matter more thoroughly. You have gotten a lot of feedback from a loved one. Though you might not agree with this person, you do value his or her feedback. A visit from a relative could be difficult to handle, as so much is going on.

Tonight: Let it all hang out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A certain situation could open you up to more and more positive changes. You have chosen to go in a specific direction, and you will continue on that same path. Buy a loved one a special gift, and trust that he or she will appreciate it. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Stay more tuned in to what is happening around you. Your ability to communicate and work through an issue emerges, encouraging you to head down a new path. Understand that a friend might not have an accurate perception of a situation. Tonight: Swap stories with a pal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your instincts will settle in once you make sure that you are on the right path. You have had a difficult time pursuing a long-desired goal in the past, but it appears to be coming true now. You might be making this an either-or situation, but it isn’t.

Tonight: Be a bit mellow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be in a position where you might want or need to change. You seem to have inadvertently created some pressure for a family member. You will discover the importance of continuing as you have been in order to resist a shake-up. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH The tension you are feeling keeps mounting, to the point that you must take action. Your sense of discipline and morality prevents you from running with a seemingly perfect idea. If you let go and take a leap of faith, you will feel much better. Tonight: Talk less, and listen more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Understanding what is necessary might be key to allowing a friendship to evolve. Knowing when to let go and enjoy what is happening will be critical to making life more enjoyable.

Use caution with your funds so as to avoid overspending. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Zero in on what is important.

You might feel slightly burdened by a responsibility. You will wonder what is happening, but could have difficulty understanding the complexity of the situation. You don’t seem to see events and people clearly right now. Tonight: Happy at home.

Dear Reader: What special memories these letters must hold! Here are a couple of hints to help: Photocopy them as soon as possible. And store the original letters in a cool, dry place, away from all light. Doing this will help preserve these letters for your family for many years.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: Last year, I suffered an injury, from which I recovered.

One lingering effect, though, is that I cannot bend my neck down comfortably to read, knit, use my computer, etc. I have been able to solve almost every problem from that by buying a black, high-schooltype music stand!

They are remarkably inexpensive online. I can raise or lower it to any appropriate height to read comfortably.

Betsy B., Salem, Ore. Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.
