Councilor: NM Legislature assigns Water billing $1B in federal relief funds issues a ‘big failure’

By Morgan Lee The Associated Press

By Juno Ogle Roswell Daily Record

Calling it a “big failure for the city,” the chairman of the Roswell City Council’s Infrastructure Committee said he hopes the problems with the transition to a new water billing system will be a lesson learned.

“I can’t emphasize enough this was a big failure for the city to not to be able to manage this transition properly,” Committee Chairman and Councilor Jason Roebuck

said at Monday’s committee meeting.

He said while the Water Department could have planned better for the transition that led to delayed and incorrect bills, he recognized the staff worked hard to correct the issues and work with customers.

Councilor and committee member Margaret Kennard, who attended virtually through GoToMeeting, asked how the city “dropped the

SANTA FE — New Mexico’s Legislature is asserting its budgetary authority over $1.6 billion in new federal aid that dwarfs year-to-year spending adjustments, setting an agenda for economic recovery that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham could challenge with her veto pen.

Congress and President Joe Biden approved the $1.9 trillion relief package this month that funnels billions of dollars directly to New Mexico’s state government, school districts and local governments.

A state Senate finance committee quickly channeled about $1 billion of that economic relief to accounts and initiatives

Two arrested Suspect in Colorado supermarket shooting identified in Sunday night Officials: Gun in supermarket shooting bought 6 days earlier

By Patty Nieberg, Thomas Peipert and Colleen Slevin The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect who opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket, and court documents showed that he purchased an assault weapon less than a week before the attack that killed 10 people, including a police officer.

Supermarket employees told investigators that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa shot an elderly man multiple times Monday outside the Boulder grocery store before going inside, according to the documents.

Another person was found shot in a vehicle next to a car registered to the suspect’s brother.

Authorities said Alissa was from the Denver suburb of Arvada and that he engaged in a shootout with police inside the store. The suspect was being treated at a hospital and was expected to be booked into the county jail later in the

Roswell residents Jason Crumpler, 38, and Ashleigh Allen, 34, were taken into custody after reportedly crashing the black Ford Crown Victoria they were driving into a ditch and then fleeing on foot from the scene of the accident, according to documents filed Monday in Chaves County Magistrate Court.

Both Crumpler and Allen were found nearby a short time later and subsequently taken into custody.

Crumpler is charged with one count each of aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer; resisting, evading or obstructing an officer; vehicles entering a stop or yield intersection; and accidents involving damage

Texas freeze could Roswell BLM works on recreation improvements impact landfill cell Jaggers Camp to close next week for construction project construction

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

By Juno Ogle Roswell Daily Record

February’s freeze and resulting power outages in Texas could have repercussions on Roswell’s landfill.

Chemical plants in Texas that manufacture polyethylene and other chemical compounds used in plastics were shut down in the extreme weather conditions and some remain offline, according to a March 17 Wall Street Journal report. That is creating a shortage of the materials and increasing prices.

Contractors prepar-

ing bids for construction of a new cell at the Roswell Municipal Landfill have reported they are having problems procuring material for the lining that is required for the cell, Abraham Chaparro, director of the city’s Solid Waste Department, said at Monday’s Infrastructure Committee meeting.

The city is expediting the construction on the new cell, as it found out in February the cell in use will reach capacity in July.

“We have been communicating with multi-

Employees of the Roswell field office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management are working to bolster the recreational opportunities on its public lands in the region, and two Lincoln County projects are examples of that effort.

Infrastructure construction just started for an expansion of the Rob Jaggers Camp at the Fort Stanton-Snowy River National Conservation Area, said Assistant Field Manager Randy Howard with the Roswell Field Office, which is part of the Pecos District Office of the New Mexico division of the federal agency.

The second recent improvement involves a Rio Bonita rehabilitation proj-

ect not far from the town of Lincoln that is expected to draw fishing enthusiasts as well as other visitors.

The Jaggers Camp off of New Mexico State Road 220 about 10 miles west from the town of Lincoln has been around for years and became highly popular in the 2000s, mainly with equestrians because of its riding trails, said Roswell Field Manager Chuck Schmidt.

Since then, more people have become interested with the site, with trails that also can be used for hiking and mountain biking.

“We have seen quite of a transition from equestrian use to just general use by the public,” Schmidt said.

For many years, the BLM has been planning on how to improve the area, with engineering plans begin-

ning about 18 months ago, he said. About a week ago, construction began on a water line along Highway 380.

Howard said he thinks public demand for the site is significant.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in recreation, especially during this pandemic, with a lot of people really wanting to get outdoors and get away,” Howard said.

“This is really going to help us mitigate that and offer more sites for recreation.”

Knutt Peterson, a local outdoor recreation planner for the BLM, said the camp gets visitors from many places, but is especially popular locally.

“We have a lot of people from all over New Mexico, Texas and across the United States,” he said. “Primary users are from Lincoln

County and Chaves County.”

Due to the construction, the Jaggers Camp will close starting Monday for the two to three months of the main construction work. The parking lot and its shelters will remain open, as will the nearby Cave Canyon camp site, which has four camp sites, but no water or electrical hook-ups.

When the Jaggers Camp reopens, it will have 27 recreational vehicle (RV) hookup sites with potable water and electricity. It currently has nine sites with only electrical connections. Picnic tables and shelters at each site also are planned.

A group shelter for events will be available for rent.

Spring River apartments to start second phase

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

Construction on the second phase of a higher-end apartment complex in Roswell is expected to begin this week or early next week.

Emery Chukly of Emery Stephens Holdings Ltd. of Arizona, one of the partners of the Spring River Luxury Apartments, said that people should see “mobilization of the equipment” within a few days at the property on North Sycamore Avenue, near West College Boulevard.

The addition of 112 units to a complex that began renting units in August 2017 and held its grand opening in January 2018 is expected to take 12 to 14 months.

ENJ Construction, based in Irving, Texas, is heading the work. The project cost has been estimated at about $16 million.

Chukly said buildings will be done in phases and leasing probably will begin before all units are done.

The first phase had 144 units and included a community room, a pool, detached garages and other features.

Originally Chukly and his partner Chad Lydick of Lydick Engineers and Surveyors of Clovis had expected to begin con-

A developer of the Spring River Apartments on North Sycamore Avenue said the additional units in the second phase are “desperately” needed in Roswell. struction on the second phase in November 2020.

The pandemic and its economic impacts caused a slow down in financing.

Part of the project is financed by loans from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development so that the units can be rented at reasonable rates.

The first phase is about 96% occupied, according to Isaac Baca with the property management

firm Shelton Residential. He said rents range from $1,055 a month for a one-bedroom unit to $1,385 a month for a three-bedroom unit.

Chukly said the apartment complex has stayed full since it opened.

Michael Espiritu, president of the Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development Corp., said the project will “dovetail nicely into supporting the housing needs of the

new aircraft maintenance technicians when Ascent Aviation begins work here.”

Ascent Aviation Services of Arizona has announced plans to open a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operation at the Roswell Air Center around April 2022, with the expectation of hiring about 100 mechanics and support personnel.

day’s update one case in Chaves County was determined to be a duplicate report, giving the county a total of 8,708, 96% of which are considered recovered.

Doña Ana County reported the most deaths Tuesday, with four. Curry County had two deaths. Bernalillo, Eddy, Lea, Rio Arriba and Roosevelt counties each had one death.

The number of deaths in the state is now 3,903 including 163 in Chaves County.

The state has administered 1,045,062 doses of vaccine out of 1,183,825 it has received. Of those, 182,183 were administered

through federal agencies.

More than 652,000 residents, or 39% of those age 16 or older, have received at least one dose of vaccine, with almost 396,000, or 24%, fully vaccinated.

In Chaves County, 13,790 people, or 28% of residents age 16 or older, have received at least one dose and 8,001 people, or 16%, are fully vaccinated.

Chaves County is in the Yellow Level of the state’s Red to Green COVID-19 risk assessment system.

From Feb. 23 to March 8, the county averaged 9.1 new cases of COVID-19 per day per 100,000 people and had a test positivity rate of

2.37%.

That data will be updated Wednesday. To move to the Green Level, the county will have to have an average of eight or fewer new daily cases and keep its test positivity rate under 5%.

The county had a rolling seven-day average of two cases per day per 100,000 people as of Thursday, according to the NMDOH COVID-19 online dashboard.

Two new COVID-19 cases, no deaths in county

By Juno Ogle Roswell Daily Record

The New Mexico Department of Health reported 174 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday including two in Chaves County.

No local deaths were reported among the 11 related to the virus reported in Tuesday’s daily case update.

Twenty-one counties reported new cases, led by Bernalillo with 75. All other counties reported 20 or fewer cases.

The state’s total number of cases is 190,064, with 91% of those considered recovered. The Department of Health reported in Tues-

ple companies nationwide. A lot of the HDPE, high-density polyethylene resin that’s used to build the liner comes out of Texas,” Chaparro said.

City Engineer Louis Najar said the 18-acre cell is not large by most standards and that could help contractors in trying to find a supply.

“All we can do is go ahead and play this out and see what happens,” he said. “Maybe somebody has enough in supply somewhere that they can get it all put together.”

Committee Chairman Jacob Roebuck asked what the city’s contingen-

cy plan would be if the liner could not be found in time.

“There can be only one contingency plan. Either have the liner and you continue with the project, or the project goes on standby at no fault to the contractor,” Najar said.

He said the New Mexico Environment Department is aware of the shortage and told the city’s consultant on the landfill, Souder, Miller and Associates, it could possibly offer an airspace extension. That would allow the city to stack waste on closed cells until the new cell could be completed.

Railroad crossing to be closed Wednesday Submitted Chaves County officials have announced that a railroad crossing at East Darby Road and New Mexico State Road 2 will be closed today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The announcement indicated that the coun-

The county asked drivers to obey all traffic controllers and devices in the work zone or avoid the area if possible.

lic meetings about the need for more rental housing for firefighters, law enforcement, health care professionals and other critically needed workers for the area.

“There was already a demand even before Ascent,” Chukly said. “I am just glad we can provide the facilities and services that are desperately needed in Roswell.”

He added that he has appreciated the assistance that people with the Economic Development Corp. and the city have provided for the project.

A March 2020 survey of the apartment markets in many New Mexico cities found that the average weighted vacancy rate for Chaves County was 4.4%, a bit higher than the 3.9% rate for the 10-county area studied. Weighted rates take in various factors, including the category of housing, according to the report by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority and the University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research.

Properties renting units for $800 a more a month represented about 16% of all 258 properties in the study. Properties renting apartments for $500 to $699 a month were 50% of those surveyed.

For Chaves County, the weighted average rent was $631 a month, which was a slight decrease from 2019.

According to the report, Chaves County had 12 apartment properties that responded to the 2020 survey, which represented 681 total units. The vast majority of units, 577, are two- and three-bedroom apartments.

In a March 2019 survey, vacancy rates were even lower among less expensive units. Out of 445 efficiencies and one-bedroom units in that survey, there were only six vacancies reported, or 1.3% of those available. That compared to a 7.9% vacancy rate for two- and three-bedroom units.

The city of Roswell has taken efforts to encourage affordable housing development in the area. It has set aside some property that it will provide to developers willing to build single-family homes for lower-income families, and it has put incentives into its zoning code for builders wanting to develop multifamily projects.

RPD warns about scam calls

Roswell Daily Record

The Roswell Police Department urges people to beware of scam calls.

According to a post on the RPD Facebook page, local residents have reported receiving calls in which the caller, posing as an officer with the RPD or another law enforcement agency, requests that a money order be sent to take care of the bond of another local resident. The caller might even offer to reduce the bond.

Todd Wildermuth, public information officer with the RPD, said in one recent call a scammer tried to convince a local man that there was an outstanding bond for him that needed to be paid.

In a recent post on the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, Sheriff Mike Herrington said that similar calls have been made to Chaves County residents who are told that a warrant will be obtained for their arrest if they do not use a prepaid credit card to pay fines. Both law enforcement agencies say the calls are fraudulent.

The RPD Facebook post states that law enforcement agencies, including the RPD, do not make calls about payment of bonds and never ask for money in any form. Bonds are a matter determined by judges and the courts, not law enforcement, according to the post.

Accounting Supervisor Chanel Rey said the city began implementing the transition in December 2019 and began testing the software in March 2020.

She said when the transition went live on Dec. 9, the staff encountered unforeseen circumstances.

Among the steps taken to correct the problems were purchasing 160 additional training hours for the staff, hiring two temporary staff members, correcting information that was entered incorrectly and improving communication with the staff on what information is made available to the public.

The department has five employees and is hiring a supervisor position and a temporary position.

Citizens were right to be upset about the problems, however, Roebuck said.

“We have caused a great amount of stress and duress and wasted time for our customers,” he said.

He said the failure caused a great deal of friction with a department that already has a poor reputation in the community, but that he hoped that could improve.

“Hopefully a year from now we could really be talking about how the Water Department had a reputation for providing poor customer service but now they’ve earned a reputation for great customer service,” he said.

In other business at Monday’s committee meeting: • The committee voted to recommend approval of awarding a project to rehabilitate a portion of the Spring River Trail to Constructors Inc., Carlsbad, for $159,485.

“It’s premature to tell you what we’ll do,” the governor said regarding federal relief spending at a news conference Saturday at the close of the regular annual legislative session.

On the proposal to put federal aid toward student aid, the governor said “that may not be the best community effort, particularly since we got $18 million in opportunity scholarships in addition and $15 million in lottery scholarships” from the state’s annual general fund spending.

Some states are only beginning to sort out spend-

While continuing north on Pennsylvania Avenue and crossing 12th Street, the front passenger side tire went flat on the Crown Victoria. Two other vehicles, one heading east and one heading west, narrowly avoided a collision with the Crown Victoria as it headed west with sparks flying from the front and rear tires on the passenger side.

The vehicle then turned into a field west of Cielo Grande, heading southwest, with rising dust reducing visibility. After crossing Sycamore the vehicle plowed through a thick brush and crashed into a ditch.

Officers, once they reached the ditch, determined that the vehicle’s driver had fled on foot.

Allen, who according to court documents was known to be Crumpler’s girlfriend, was found just west of the Crown Victoria.

Allen, court filings state, told police that she was a passenger in the Crown Victoria during the chase and that a Hispanic man whose name she did not know was the driver. She alleged that the Hispanic man also threatened to shoot her if she did not flee the scene of the accident on foot.

Still believing Crumpler to be the driver, police canvassed the area looking for him. At 10:42 p.m., dispatch received a 911 call from the residents of a 2700 block of West 8th Street home, where residents reported that a man was in their backyard shed.

When police arrived at the location, court documents state, Crumpler was found in the shed and taken into custody. He was taken to a hospital where he received stitches for a laceration on his lower lip.

Crumpler reportedly admitted to police that he had driven the Crown Vic-

ring to signs, kiosks and other markers that provide information about the ecology, wildlife and plant species, and cultural significance of the area.

People can contact the Roswell Field Office at 575627-0272 for more information as the project progresses. Once camp construction is finished, people will be able to reserve sites at www. recreation.gov.

Howard said that the second project began as a river rehabilitation project.

He said that the Dow Canyon tract of the Rio Bonita had become incised and downgraded over the years and had to be reworked so that it could flow properly and serve as a habitat for fish. Many different entities became involved, including the Upper Hondo Watershed Management group, which helped to remove invasive plant species; Riverbend Engineering, which did the restoration design; New Mexico Game and Fish Department and its Habitat

Stamp Program; the National Wild Turkey Federation; the Rio Grande Trout Program and EcoServants.

“The main objective was to restore the river function, and along with that we could work with Game and Fish and do a put-and-take fishery,” Howard said.

He said that, in January, New Mexico Game and Fish stocked the Dow Canyon portion of the river with non-breeding rainbow trout and has plans to stock it annually. No reservations

or fees are required for visiting the site, Howard said.

According to the BLM website, hiking and mountain biking also can occur there.

Howard said the tract is about two miles east of the town of Lincoln off of Highway 380. People heading from the Roswell area to Lincoln will be able to see a large parking lot with its pipe fencing from the highway.

Howard said that the BLM also has recreation sites in Chaves County,

including the Mescalero Sands and Haystack Mountain off-highway vehicle areas. The local office also is working with the county and the city of Roswell on other trails projects. He said people with ideas or suggestions about other recreation opportunities should contact the Roswell Field Office.

days before the shooting, on March 16, according to the arrest affidavit released Tuesday. It was not immediately known where the gun was purchased.

The shooting came 10 days after a judge blocked a ban on assault rifles passed by the city of Boulder in

2018. That ordinance and another banning large-capacity magazines came after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

A lawsuit challenging the bans was filed quick-

ly, backed by the National Rifle Association. The judge struck down the ordinance under a Colorado law that blocks cities from making their own rules about guns.

A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting said the suspect’s family told investigators they

believed Alissa was suffering some type of mental illness, including delusions. Relatives described times when Alissa told them people were following or chasing him, which they said may have contributed to the violence, the official said. The official was not authorized to speak

publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

The attack was the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since a 2019 assault on a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, where a gunman killed 22 people in a rampage that police said targeted Mexicans.

seen circumstances was that a delay in just one of the city’s billing cycles — the groups of customers billed at one time — caused delays in the following cycles, she said.

According to the timeline Davies presented, one December billing cycle and six January cycles were delayed so inserts explaining the problems could be mailed with the bills. In that time, several employees in the department were exposed to COVID-19 and had to quarantine for three days. One employee who tested positive quarantined for 14 days.

“One of the things we have talked about is the fact we have 20 cycles a month, so pretty much one every day, and when one gets behind it just snowballs on everybody. We’ve even talked about going in another $6 million for the state fair in Albuquerque, along with $14.5 million to bolster spending at state parks, historic sites and New Mexico’s world-renowned public museum system.

Those facilities were closed down for much of the past year as a health precaution against the pandemic, suspending income from admission fees.

The state’s lottery tuition fund is slated to receive $100 million that could make it cheaper if not tuition-free for thousands of residents to attend public colleges for years to come.

The Crown Victoria reportedly turned north onto Pennsylvania Avenue at an accelerated rate of speed after running a stop sign at the intersection of Reed Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

The driver continued north on Pennsylvania Avenue, allegedly failing to stop or slow down at seven additional stop signs.

ing priorities for federal funds.

In neighboring Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis on Monday announced a statewide tour to hear from residents and gather ideas on how to spend the state’s $3.9 billion share of federal relief to the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The new round of federal pandemic relief comes with fewer restrictions on spending by state and local governments as they cover increased expenditures, replenish lost revenue and mitigate economic harm from COVID-19. That can include investments in infrastructure or aid to house-

holds, businesses and nonprofits.

New Mexico would devote about $50 million to spending on Medicaid. Local enrollment has soared amid the pandemic in the federally subsidized health insurance plan for residents living in poverty or on the cusp.

The Legislature and Lujan Grisham shared major priorities in a budget bill that would increase state general fund spending to $7.45 billion for the fiscal year staring July 1. That’s a nearly 5% increase of $375 million over current fiscal year spending. toria and instructed Allen to run from the scene. According to court documents, he also said that his passenger-side tires flattened after he had struck a curb.

Judge K.C. Rogers set bond for Crumpler at $10,000 cash or surety when he made his first appearance Monday in Magistrate Court. Allen, pleading not guilty to the criminal charge against her, was released on her own recognizance.

A wave of evictions is not inevitable Boston Globe

When it comes to housing, the pandemic recession prompted a demonstrably different government approach than previous economic downturns. As millions of people began losing their jobs last March, paying the rent became more and more burdensome for middle- and low-income families.

It quickly became clear that millions of rent payments were going to be missed, and a wave of evictions seemed inevitable. But because of the public health nature of the crisis the federal government imposed a nationwide eviction moratorium that has now, after several extensions, been in place for nearly a year.

The moratorium was a relief for renters and has so far prevented many evictions from taking place — though some still do. On its own, however, the ban has not completely averted an eviction crisis; it has merely postponed it. Moratoriums also rest on a shaky legal foundation: One federal judge in Texas ruled against the federal policy, and Massachusetts dropped its state moratorium last fall after a federal judge warned it couldn’t go on indefinitely.

Once federal and state governments lift their bans, which they will eventually have to do, tens of millions of tenants will be at immediate risk of losing their homes. If that happens, more people will fall into poverty, and the entire economic recovery will inevitably slow down. The $1,400 payments in the pandemic relief package will help a little, as will the extended unemployment benefits, but some tenants now owe a year of back rent, a debt that threatens to become a millstone around their financial necks for years to come. To prevent a flood of evictions that could leave millions homeless and indebted, Congress must send states more money in rental assistance, and state and local governments must build programs to efficiently get that money in tenants’ hands as soon as possible.

The federal government has so far set aside a significant amount of money to address this issue.

Between the relief bill passed in December and President Biden’s rescue plan, Congress has allocated $45 billion in rental assistance funds. While those funds will go a long way in helping people pay their landlords back for missed payments, it’s simply not enough to help everyone in need.

According to a December estimate, Americans collectively owe up to $70 billion in back rent, a figure that doesn’t include people struggling to make their next payments. So as states begin to distribute the rental assistance allocated by Congress, federal lawmakers should be prepared to replenish the fund as needed. Right now, however, the most crucial step in preventing evictions is for state and local governments to quickly deliver the federal aid. The problem is that most states are underprepared.

Another roadblock to getting the money out the door is that many of the programs have so far relied on landlords’ active participation in them — whether by filing the application for assistance themselves or agreeing to receive the money from the government. And some landlords have refused to accept the federal money on the grounds that doing so would require them not to evict their tenants. State and local agencies ought to design their programs to ensure that the money go directly to renters so that landlords have to accept it. (Doing so would also help tenants living in informal housing arrangements.) In the meantime, the federal government should extend the eviction moratorium past March 31, to the extent allowed by the courts.

Ultimately, building the state-level infrastructure to respond to the current housing crisis is an opportunity for a more permanent solution to evictions, which can have enormously destabilizing impacts on families and children. By coupling short-term fixes like eviction bans with more permanent solutions that build on the current rent relief programs, both states and the federal government can ensure that a flood of evictions is not merely postponed but finally averted.

West Virginia: Another tax-free heaven?

W

est Virginia is unique among America’s 50 states. At a convention in Wheeling, Virginia, in 1861, delegates from Virginia’s northwest counties, which were loyal to the Union, voted to break away from that state over the issue of slavery and their refusal to be part of the Confederate states.

West Virginia is again attempting to “break away,” this time on the issue of taxes. While the Biden administration wants to raise federal income taxes to cover overspending, the governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, wants to reduce and eventually eliminate his state’s personal income tax. If successful, West Virginia would join nine other states that do not impose state income taxes on their citizens.

Though his state has experienced a population decline for 70 years, Gov. Justice believes now is the right time to reverse the trend by cutting the state’s income tax by 60 percent in the first year, leading to its eventual elimination.

In an interview, I asked the governor for his rationale behind erasing

Cal

Thomas Syndicated Columnist his state’s major revenue source. He said it is because the state’s economy is booming and it now has a “$100 million surplus,” in spite of the pandemic. That’s because, he says, businesses, including restaurants, “are 100 percent open” and people are flocking to the state to spend time and money.

He estimates that if his tax cut proposal passes the majority Republican legislature it will “put $2,200 more in people’s pockets.

Every single person in the state will end up cash positive.”

What about those who do not earn enough to pay state income tax? “I’ll just write them a check,” he says. The governor says that expenditure will be paid for and the lost revenue recovered by raising the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7.9 percent “on beer, sodas, tobacco and

luxury items.” He predicts his proposal will raise property and home values, and result in more jobs and higher wages.

Such an outcome would replicate the pre-pandemic economy under the Trump administration, which cut federal income taxes.

Asked why the state is seeing relatively strong financial numbers when many other states are struggling, Justice says, “It’s absolutely economic growth. Our tourism industry, our state parks — everything — are booming in West Virginia. This is across high tech, higher education, medical, tourism, etc.”

With such an improving economy, will the governor accept the state’s portion of the $1.9 trillion relief bill recently passed by Congress and signed by President Biden?

“Absolutely,” he says.

The problem, as The Wall Street Journal noted, is this language in the measure: “A state or territory shall not use the funds to either directly or indirectly offset a reduction in the net tax revenue.”

Governor Justice blames Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)

for including that language in the bill, but he says he will abide by the law if it is interpreted in a way that frustrates his proposed tax cuts.

A federal fair, or flat tax — even a “use” tax — instead of a graduated income tax, has been a dream of many Republicans and conservatives for decades. Not only would it give everyone “skin in the game,” as opposed to the current situation where half the country pays no federal income tax, it would also eliminate much of the class warfare the left uses to raise taxes on “the rich” and successful.

If Gov. Justice manages to navigate the legal challenges that will likely come from his proposed cut in state taxes, West Virginia could be a model for other states and even the federal government. This would require many voters to get off the gravy train and take more responsibility for themselves.

Biden’s address to nation a disappointment

T

here seems to be a growing consensus among fellow veterans that truthfulness from politicians in Washington, D.C. is an extreme rarity.

Okay, no surprise. However, March 11 President Biden disappointed a number of us with his “anniversary address” marking our one-year battle with the COVID virus. It is no surprise to anyone that the Biden side of the aisle has no love for the Trump side, and vice versa. But several intentional misstatements from the president who promises the truth is disheartening to say the least.

In his own words, “Last summer, I was in Philadelphia, and I met a small-business owner — a woman. I asked her — I said, What do you need most? I’ll never forget what she said to me. She said — looking me in the eye, she said, ‘I just want the truth. Just tell me the truth.’ Think of that. My fellow Americans, you’re owed nothing less than the truth.” Sadly, that is not what we got.

For openers, Mr. Biden exaggerated his point the previous administration dropped the ball on handling the coronavirus by saying, “A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked. Denials for days, weeks, then months that led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more

John Taylor Veterans’ Advocate loneliness.” Sadly, that slam was not true. The Trump administration hit the floor running in January 2020, and performed several miracles. Trump immediately called for a travel ban to shut off the flow of travelers from the virus’ origin, while Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer accused him of xenophobia and racism.

Biden then dropped one of his goofballs. “As I’ve told you before, I carry a card in my pocket with the number of Americans who have died from COVID to date. ...

As of now, the total deaths in America: 527,726. That’s more deaths than in World War One, World War Two, the Vietnam War, and 9/11 combined.” Wrong. The true total of war dead was 620,774. Any death is a gut-wrenching experience, but to exaggerate the number of deaths by 93,048 soldiers to make a political point is a bridge too far.

Consider the following composite from Mr. Biden on how much he has done as opposed to the previous administration. “And for all of you asking when things will get back to normal,

here is the truth: The only way to get our lives back, to get our economy back on track is to beat the virus.

You’ve been hearing me say that for — while I was running and the last 50 days I’ve been President. ...

That’s why I’m using every power I have as President of the United States to put us on a war footing to get the job done. ... And thank God (we’re) making some real progress now.”

“On my first full day in office, I outlined for you a comprehensive strategy to beat this pandemic. And we have spent every day since attempting to carry it out. Two months ago, the country — this country didn’t have nearly enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all or near all of the American public. But soon we will. ... When I took office 50 days ago, only 8 percent of Americans after months — only 8 percent of those over the age of 65 had gotten their first vaccination.

Today, that number is [nearly] 65 percent. Just 14 percent of Americans over the age 75, 50 days ago, had gotten their first shot.

Today, that number is well over 70 percent.” We are to believe he has been personally responsible for several million people being vaccinated in just 50 days.

Anyone interested in the truth needs to read the GAO Report 21-319 published to the Congress on Feb. 5. Trump’s Operation Warp Speed (OWS), initiat-

ed March 2020 and negotiated through July 2020, set up a collaborative effort between the Trump administration, the Department of Health, the Department of Defense and six pharmaceutical companies to fast-track 800 million doses of COVID vaccine by March 2021. Vaccine was pre-purchased during the March-July 2020 agreements as follows: Pfizer-BioNtech 100 million doses; Moderna 100 million; Johnson & Johnson 100 million; AstraZeneca 300 million; Novavax 100 million; Sanofi-GSK 100 million; extra purchase (Dec. 23, 2020) from Pfizer and Moderna 200 million.

DOH and DOD established distribution for the March 2021 target. The first vaccinations occurred across the country on Dec. 14, 2020 and have progressed since. I will leave this here for those wishing to find the truth. Seriously, get the facts and cut through the political lies.

Our country deserves no less. God bless.

US colleges tout hopes for return to new normal this fall

By John Seewer The Associated Press TOLEDO, Ohio — Colleges throughout the U.S. are assuring students that the fall semester will bring a return to in-person classes, intramural sports and mostly full dormitories. But those promises come with asterisks.

Administrators say how quickly campus life comes back will depend on the success of the nation’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts and the ability to avoid widespread outbreaks.

Universities saw their budgets hammered during the coronavirus pandemic, which emptied dorms and led to declines in enrollment, and are facing pressure to reopen fully. A flood of announcements from schools describing their plans has begun as high school seniors and returning students are making decisions about where they will be next fall.

Some students are waiting to decide until they know what to expect on campus, and others are still worried about the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic.

Like many colleges, Ashland University in Ohio is seeing that freshmen who have been accepted are slower to enroll this year. To give them a push, the university is offering a semester of free tuition next spring for first-time students who come in the fall and promising no tuition increases over four years.

Many students are feeling “burned out” by a year of virtual classes and limited activities and asking themselves if they’re willing to invest in another year if virus protocols are still in

In this Nov. 12 file photo, a sign at the entranceway to St. Michael’s College in Colchester, Vt., says that the campus is closed to visitors due to a COVID-19 outbreak. place, said Carlos Campo, president of Ashland, which is planning for almost all classes to be in person and for clubs, intramurals and Greek life to resume normal activities.

“We owe it to students to let them know what’s coming,” he said.

Casey Knutson skipped spring semester after starting her first year of college at Ohio University taking classes on Zoom from home in Tiffin last fall. Her grades were good, but “I realized I wasn’t learning a single thing,” she said. “It wasn’t worth the money.”

She’s hopeful that she’ll be on campus next fall for a somewhat normal college experience.

“I really don’t want to be

stuck in my hometown,” she said. “I think a lot of students feel like that.”

Ultimately, the course of the pandemic will determine what campuses look like in the fall, said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education, a Washington, D.C.based trade association of college and university presidents.

“There are no guarantees, but we are more hopeful than we have been for a long, long time that colleges and universities will look like they usually do,” Hartle said.

Schools have gotten a boost from about $80 billion in federal coronavirus relief to colleges, universities and students. But there have

been serious effects from the pandemic, including roughly 650,000 layoffs out of 3 million campus employees, he said.

“It will take several years for institutions to return to normal operations, and it will really be four or five years before we can sort out what the real impact has been,” Hartle said.

University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel anticipates that most classes and student groups will be able to be meet in person and fans will be allowed at games because the number of COVID-19 cases have dropped and vaccine supply is increasing.

Some large lecture classes are likely to remain online, and some dorm rooms will

be kept open if students need to quarantine, school spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said.

“Will it be exactly the way it was before the pandemic?

No,” he said. “But it will be approaching what it was.”

Seyoung Ree, a high school senior at Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, said some of the college reopening plans she’s looked at have been vague. But whether a school starts fully with in-person classes won’t affect her college choice, she said, adding that she’d be more worried if it doesn’t have safe guidelines.

“I guess for us, we’ve already been through our senior year and part of our junior year wearing masks,” she said of high school. “It’s

hard to imagine not wearing a mask to school and things going back to normal.”

Local health rules also will determine how quickly colleges are buzzing with activity.

University of South Dakota President Sheila Gestring says the school plans to return this fall without social distancing rules or mask mandates as long as infection rates remain low.

The University System of Georgia has told the state’s public universities to plan for normal operations even though most higher education employees are not yet eligible for the vaccine.

“We anticipate that we will have been able to vaccinate faculty and staff by that time,” University of North Georgia Provost Chaudron Gille wrote to faculty in early March.

“Of course, if this year has taught us anything, it is that we must be prepared for the unexpected.”

At the University of Connecticut, where registration for fall classes began Monday, Provost Carl Lejuez said the school is aiming to offer 90% of classes in-person. But he said that will depend on widespread vaccinations and state guidelines, which now call for 6 feet (2 meters) of social distancing.

He said a message spelling that out is going out to prospective students this week.

“What we decided to do was approach the semester in a way where we would have as much in-person for registration as possible, but based on vaccinations, the virus rate, state guidelines and a variety of other factors,” Lejuez said. “We’ve gotten really good at being flexible.”

Rivals seeking to gain as Biden mulls approach to Syrian war

By Ellen Knickmeyer The Associated Press The Biden administration is mulling over America’s role in Syria’s ongoing conflict as the U.S. tries to break away from Middle East wars, but Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat already has been busy on the ground, trying to win support for a Syria approach that could establish Russia as a broker of security and power in the region.

The new U.S. administration has yet to say how it plans to handle Syria, which is now fragmented among a half-dozen militaries — including U.S. troops — owing to a war that has killed and has displaced millions. The conflict includes al-Qaida affiliates, Islamic State forces and other jihadist groups eager to use Syria as a base.

Russia and Iran have intervened to prevent the collapse of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has wielded chemical attacks, barrel bombs and starvation to crush what had started out as a peaceful uprising.

The conflict just entered its 11th year.

Dealing with Syria’s war will test the Biden administration’s determination to focus on Asia and not the Middle East. If the United States diminishes its presence, Russia and other hostile U.S. rivals are poised to step in and boost their regional stature and resources.

Hence Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s Middle East tour this month.

Lavrov stood by as the foreign minister of a Gulf state generally friendly to Washington, the United Arab Emirates, delivered a message in line with Moscow’s position: U.S. sanctions on Syria’s Russia-supported regime were blocking international efforts to rebuild Syria. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said it is

In this March 15 photo, thousands of anti-Syrian government protesters shout slogans and wave revolutionary flags to mark 10 years since the start of a popular uprising against President Bashar Assad’s rule that later turned into an insurgency and civil war in Idlib, the last major opposition-held area of the country, in northwest Syria. time to welcome Syria back into the fold of Arab nations.

In other words, Russia’s message is “the Syria war is over, Assad has won, Assad will be in power as long as he is breathing oxygen,” said Frederic Hof, who served as a U.S. Syria adviser and envoy in the Obama administration.

Hof said there was an unstated part of the message: Russia plans to be on hand as “Syria is built from the ashes,” benefiting from any international reconstruction resources coming in, and positioning itself as the broker to manage the security threats that Syria poses to the region.

Hof and James F. Jeffrey, a career diplomat under Republican and Democratic administrations who served as President Donald Trump’s Syria envoy, argue for the United States to remain a significant presence in the country, citing Russia’s ambitions.

“If this is the security future of the Middle East, we’re all in trouble,” Jeffrey warns. “That’s what Putin and Lavrov are pushing.”

The Biden administration is reviewing whether it should consider Syria as one of America’s most important national security problems.

It’s shown no sign yet of doing so. Notably, where President Joe Biden has spelled out some other Middle East problems as priorities — including Yemen’s war and Iran’s nuclear program, for which Biden appointed envoys — he and his officials have said and done little publicly on Syria.

In Congress, Syria is at the heart of a congressional debate over whether to reduce or end the authorities given to presidents to conduct military strikes in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

It was the Syrian war that sparked that debate, when President Barack Obama

first considered military strikes there, said Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “Congress has sidelined itself in some of the most important decisions that a country can take.”

One of Biden’s few public mentions of Syria since taking office came last week, when he listed it among international problems that the U.N. Security Council should do more on.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the start of the Syrian conflict last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a statement with European counterparts emphasized the need for humanitarian aid for Syrian civilians and accountability for the Assad regime.

U.S. troops are helping protect an opposition enclave in northeast Syria, in an area that includes oil and natural gas. During Biden’s campaign last year,

Blinken framed the military role as a “point of leverage” in negotiations over the international handling of Syria, rather than an ongoing force.

Spokespeople with the National Security Council and State Department declined to answer specific questions on Biden’s Syria policy, including whether the administration sees the Syria conflict as a major national security threat or plans to appoint an envoy.

Biden follows Obama and Trump in seeking to minimize the United States’ military role in the Middle East and shift the focus of U.S. foreign policy to Asia, where China has been increasingly aggressive.

But the Middle East’s conflicts and the United States’ own strategic schemes have a way of pulling Americans back. Biden last month became the sixth consecutive U.S. president to bomb a Middle East target, hit-

ting an Iranian-allied militia in Syria that had attacked American and allied personnel in neighboring Iraq.

Some current and former U.S. diplomats for the Middle East have argued Syria is not a top security threat for the United States.

Robert S. Ford, an Obama administration ambassador to Syria with years of diplomatic experience in the region, concluded in a Foreign Affairs article last year that Washington should move toward pulling its troops out of northeast Syria, arrange for Russia and others to deal with jihadist fighters, and put the United States’ money toward helping the war’s refugees.

But Hof and Jeffrey, two others who dealt with Syria for past administrations, argue against withdrawal.

“If I were an ISIS leader now trying desperately to organize an insurgency to come back” in Syria, “I would pray that that advice be taken,” Hof said. For the Islamic State group, “if you can have as your enemies the (Syrian) regime, the Iranians and the Russians, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

A test of Biden administration intentions is looming, as Russia seeks to use its U.N. Security Council position to shut down a humanitarian aid route into part of Syria not under control of the Russia-supported Syrian government, notes Mona Yacoubian, senior Syria adviser for the U.S. Institute for Peace think tank.

Maintaining or bolstering the U.S. footprint in Syria will be important, Yacoubian said — not just as leverage in political negotiations, but also to shape the rules of the game for Russia’s presence in the Middle East. And other immediate goals for the international community remain: making life “more manageable and less miserable for Syrians,” she said.

Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor dies at 65 amid COVID-19 struggle LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kent Taylor, founder and CEO of the Texas Roadhouse restaurant chain, has died. He was 65. His family and the company say he took his own life after suffering from symptoms related to COVID-19, including severe tinnitus.

Taylor’s family and the company on Sunday confirmed his death in a statement.

Tinnitus is a common condition involving ringing or or other noises in one or both ears. Experts say the coronavirus can exacerbate tinnitus problems.

“Kent battled and fought hard like the former track champion that he was, but the suffering that greatly intensified in recent days became unbearable,” the statement said.

Taylor recent committed to funding a clinical study to help military members suffering with tinnitus, the statement said.

“Kent leaves an unmatched legacy as a people-first leader, which is why he often said that Texas Roadhouse was

a people company that just happened to serve steaks,” the statement said.

Taylor opened the first Texas Roadhouse restaurant in 1993 in Clarksville, Indiana, coming up with the idea on a cocktail napkin. It currently operates 610 restaurants in 49 states and 10 other countries. Texas Roadhouse is based in Taylor’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

“Kent’s kind and generous spirit was his constant driving force whether it was quietly helping a friend or building one of America’s great companies in @texasroadhouse,” Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said on Twitter.

“He was a maverick entrepreneur who embodied the values of never giving up and putting others first.”

Taylor, who died Thursday, is survived by his parents, Powell and Marilyn Taylor; three children and five grandchildren.

Texas Roadhouse spokesman Travis Doster said a small private service is planned this week.

By Jacques Billeaud The Associated Press PHOENIX — Ava Arpaio, the wife of the former longtime sheriff of metro Phoenix who faithfully supported her husband in his controversial political career yet still managed to be liked by some of his toughest critics, has died at age 89.

Her death Sunday at a hospital in the Phoenix area was confirmed by her husband, former Sheriff Joe Arpaio. She died from complications of cancer.

Arpaio has credited his wife of 63 years for raising their two children while he worked as a federal drug agent in the United States, Turkey and Mexico and supporting him as he served as sheriff for 24 years and became an influential but polarizing figure in immigration enforcement.

“I look back and always say the job came first.

Most people would never say that,” the 88-year-old former lawman said Monday. “I love my family, but I was dedicated to my job.

And she put up with that and supported me.”

Ava Arpaio, who met Joe Arpaio on a blind date when he was a police officer in Washington, walked onto political stages with her husband, rode alongside him in parades and stumped for him in TV ads. She was a soft-spoken, affable foil to his hard-boiled image — he faced withering criticism about his jail and immigration policies, investigations of political foes and criminal contempt conviction, which former President Donald Trump pardoned.

She also opened a travel business in 1980 where her husband worked after he retired as a federal drug agent but before he was elected sheriff.

About five years ago, Ava Arpaio survived a bout of stomach cancer.

While the cancer was in remission, she spent several days in an intensive care unit in 2019 after a rattlesnake that was in the couple’s garage came into the house and bit her. She recovered from

the bite, but her cancer returned and spread.

Chad Willems, Arpaio’s longtime campaign manager and political fundraiser, said Ava Arpaio was her husband’s secret political weapon. She was able to win over voters who didn’t necessary connect with Arpaio, Willems said.

She was a subtle truth speaker who would talk her husband out of making bad decisions, not by having long policy arguments but by listening and interjecting powerful bits of advice, Willems said, such as telling him he should worry less about criticism in news coverage and remember he worked for the people.

“She never saw herself as a political consultant, but she had that sharp, common-sense instinct about her,” Willems said.

“And she knew her husband inside and out.”

Lydia Guzman, a Latino civil rights advocate and longtime Arpaio critic, said Ava Arpaio had a way of disarming her husband’s worst critics.

Guzman recalled a booking signing where people who wanted to say nasty things to her husband found it hard to attack when the woman standing next to him was pleasant and had such an innocent smile.

“She was the PR Arpaio needed, not his regular PR,” Guzman said.

Knowing long ago that her husband had no hobbies and wasn’t going to have a conventional retirement, Ava Arpaio set up an office for him in their hometown of Fountain Hills, a Phoenix suburb, after he was voted out of the sheriff’s office in 2016.

She had it ready to move in shortly after his loss.

When Joe Arpaio made unsuccessful comeback attempts she supported him. In a 2019 interview with The Associated Press, she said her husband had her blessing to seek what became a failed bid for a seventh term as sheriff.

“He loves his work and would like to get back into it,” Ava Arpaio said.

“That’s all he has done his whole life.”

Review: Manly men go on a bloodlust tear in awful ‘Nobody’

By Mark Kennedy Ap Entertainment Writer

Lurking in the heat of all family men is this: A restlessness that gnaws at the thin veneer of civility they’ve hidden themselves in. That seems to be one of the lessons of the dopey film “Nobody.” It says that what all regular Joes really want to is to blow away multiple bad guys with a Walther PPK as music swells.

Bob Odenkirk makes a disastrous turn as an assassin-turned-nice-guyturned-assassin-again in a role that’s all macho wish-fulfillment fantasy.

The movie suggests that the meek will not only inherit the Earth, they will strafe, slice, bomb and hack their way to it, all for the adoration of their wives and once-sullen kids.

The body count is in the hundreds and so far past numbing that it’s comical by the end of this pale cousin of the “John Wick” films, which isn’t a coincidence since they share the same producers and writer, Derek Kolstad.

The film begins as a flashback, with Odenkirk as a mild-mannered suburban dad stuck in a repetitive rut: going to work at a tool and die, taking out the garbage and commuting. He’s ignored by his teenage son

Allen Fraser/Universal Pictures via AP

In this image released by Universal Pictures, Bob Odenkirk appears in a scene from “Nobody.” and his wife puts a pillow between them in the bed at night like a buffer. He used to be a federal killer but has given up that life. Now his mojo’s gone. “Remember who we used to be? I do,” he tells his wife.

Then a home invasion stirs the pot. He looks like a chump for his inaction — “I was just trying to keep damage to a minimum,” he explains to the cops.

But that sets him down a brutal path that results in

hundreds of stunt men with bad Russian accents being mowed down. It turns out his mojo is murder.

“Who are you?” someone asks. “Nobody,” he responds in his best flinty Clint Eastwood. And yet, the impression is that the filmmakers want it to be everybody.

After avenging his family’s honor, Odenkirk’s sad sack husband encounters seven drunken thugs threatening a woman on his

bus. He attacks them brutally and bloodily — twice.

Before leaving, he gives one of the guys a tracheotomy with a fast-food drink straw. That guy turns out to be the younger brother of a powerful Russian mobster and sociopath.

“Sorry about the mess,” he tells the bus driver.

The powerful Russian sociopath wants revenge, naturally. One of his minions isn’t impressed, saying Odenkirk “looks to be

as vanilla as they come.”

The Russian responds to beware a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” The subtext, we guess, is don’t ever judge: Your neighbor with a beer belly and a comb-over who drives a beat-up Honda Civic might just be 007 laying low.

Faced with what seems like a few thousand armed goons, our hero must protect his family by going on the offensive. He enlists help from his own family — Christopher Lloyd plays his dad; the rapper RZA plays his adopted brother. They are handy with weapons and the dad, a retired FBI agent, says he even misses blowing guys away. That love never really goes away, does it?

For the big showdown, Odenkirk’s now virile, manly man sets a series of deadly explosive traps like a grown-up Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone.” When it’s all over, his wife will pull away the pillow and respect him. Wives often feel this way after their homes have been destroyed and one thug has had his face bashed in by a kettle onto a plate of fresh lasagna.

Director Ilya Naishuller simply adores massacres in slow-motion, with our hero strolling confidently as he murders scum to sweet, romantic music. We

know this because he does it three separate times to Louis Armstrong’s “What a Beautiful World,” Andy Williams’ “The Impossible Dream” and Rodgers-Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” It’s a tired trick and Naishuller has beaten it to a pulp, like most of the thugs here.

The deaths are not stylish or inspired, just brutal.

The script is not particularly funny or insightful, just brutal. The characters have as much depth as a first-person “Call of Duty” video game. Even the scriptwriter seems apologetic: When the last baddie has been dispatched, Lloyd says: “Just a bit excessive.

But glorious.”

You’ve likely seen this before if you’ve watched “Death Wish” or “Taken.”

You’ve seen slow-motion bullets rip through gun-totting extras, twisting them in midair to make them look like jerky dancers. There’s nothing new in this pointless, misguided mess. And violence as an aphrodisiac is not really what we wanted in 2021. Nobody comes out good in “Nobody.”

“Nobody,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for language and extreme violence. Running time: 91 minutes. Half a star out of four.

2013: Rockets win Alien City encounter

In anticipation of Friday night’s big game between the Rockets and Coyotes, RDR Sports is taking a look back this week at some of each team’s memorable victories over their crosstown rivals. In 2013’s game, Goddard used the running of Cody French and Dean McDaniel to extend their long winning streak against the rival Coyotes. Legendary coach Sam Jernigan’s defense shut out Roswell firstyear coach Jeff Lynn’s squad, 35-0, in their initial meeting.

Lynn at the time had Roswell in the hunt for the playoffs for the first time in years. Goddard won the district title for the sixth year and went into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed for the fourth year in a row. As we look ahead to Friday’s continuation of the long-running rivalry, relive the 2013 Rockets’ victory over Roswell in the story below, from the archives of RDR Sports.

Editor’s note: This story originally ran in the Nov. 9, 2013 edition of the Roswell Daily Record.

The longest win streak in the history of the Alien City Encounter got one game longer on Friday at the Wool Bowl.

Top-ranked Goddard won the battle for city supremacy for the 13th straight time, blanking Roswell 35-0 to wrap up the District 4-4A championship and, in all likelihood, the No. 1 seed in the upcoming state playoffs.

And for the second straight year, it was Dean McDaniel who carried the load for Goddard’s ground-and-pound offense.

The junior tailback, playing in place of the injured Cody

French, ran 26 times for 201 yards and two scores and had a 4-yard receiving score for the Rockets (7-2).

“I’m just trying to do my best to fill in for Cody,” said McDaniel, who now has 384 yards and five TDs on 56 carries in two career starts against Roswell.

“I’m not the starting running back, but I’ll just do my best every time I get in. I’m just trying to get a ‘W’ for my team and do whatever I can do (to help us do that).”

The always stoic Sam Jernigan said McDaniel just did what he usually does.

“I thought he ran pretty tough. I thought we missed some blocks up front for him, so that didn’t help him up too much there,” said the 23rd-year coach, who improved to 18-6 all-time against Roswell. “But, he did a pretty good job of picking up the load like he usually does, and he does it with a grin on his face.

“I thought he had a pretty decent game.”

That pretty decent game was highlighted by a pair of second-quarter touchdown runs that all but put the game out of reach.

After a scoreless first quarter, Cameron Neff put Goddard on top 6-0 when he capped a 15-play, 78-yard drive that ate up nearly 8 minutes of game time with a 1-yard touchdown.

Less than 4 minutes after that, McDaniel scored on a 40-yard run with 6:23 left in the half. Five minutes later, McDaniel was scoring again, this time on a 3-yard run on a fourth-down play.

Kelsey Cunningham scored on a 1-yard dive midway through the third and Neff hit McDaniel for an aerial score with about 9 minutes left in the fourth to cap the scoring.

Roswell threatened in God-

dard’s territory just once, on its final drive of the game late in the fourth. The Coyotes had just 64 total yards in the game, 42 of which came on the aforementioned drive.

J.J. Fierro led the Coyotes with 29 rushing yards on eight carries. Jacob Miley ran for 20 yards on 14 carries and was 1 for 5 for 7 yards through the air.

It was the eighth shutout win by Goddard in the series and trimmed Roswell’s lead in the series to 30-21-3.

“As everyone knows, they are our biggest rival,” McDaniel said. “It’s always nice to beat them. They played good tonight.

“Honestly, our line did real good, so I give (the credit) to them.”

The loss puts Roswell (6-4) on the bubble when it comes to the playoffs and leaves the Coyotes’ chances in the hands of the selection committee.

First-year Coyote coach Jeff Lynn said he thinks his team belongs in the playoffs.

“I would think we’re a playoff team. We’ve got five 4A wins and one 5A win,” he said.

“I would be really disappointed if we weren’t (selected). There would be some things that were wrong with the whole system if we’re not a playoff team.”

Goddard, meanwhile, won the district title for the sixth straight year and should be the No. 1 seed in the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

McDaniel said the Rockets are just focused on the next game.

“We’ve got one game at a time,” he said. “We’ve got playoffs coming up, but we don’t know where everyone is going to be seeded. All we’re worried about is that one game coming up.”

Goddard wins third straight game

2018: Roswell, district champs, knock off No. 1 Goddard

In anticipation of Friday night’s big game between the Coyotes and Rockets, RDR Sports is taking a look back this week at some of each team’s memorable victories over their crosstown rivals. In 2018, for the Roswell football team, it was all about swag culture and that starts with Coyote coach Jeff Lynn.

Lynn believed in his team and himself even when things were tough. His players have taken their persona from him. It took him three years to break through and defeat crosstown rival Goddard.

When Roswell finally won the big game for the first time, the Coyotes had been on a four-game winning streak. So much was riding on the outcome of the game between the top-ranked teams in the state. The winner of the game would end up with a bye and the district championship. We look back at this instant classic, the Coyotes’ 2018 victory, as we lead up to the game Friday night.

Editor’s note: This story originally ran in the Nov. 3, 2018 edition of the Roswell Daily Record.

Champions are not great all the time, just when they have to be.

Roswell showed why they are the district champions for the first time in Roswell coach Jeff Lynn’s six-year tenure as head coach. Lynn had the nerve of a jewel thief as he called plays and mas-

tered the Coyotes into scoring position down the stretch. In fact, Lynn took a page out of rival coach Chris White’s playbook a week earlier, as he took all the time off the clock before Goddard kicked a field goal to defeat Artesia with five seconds on the clock. This wasn’t as dramatic, but almost.

What was dramatic was that Roswell came out in their red uniforms for pregame warmups, but when they returned to the field to play the game they changed into new uniforms — all black and new helmets with red outlined numbers.

“We try to do something special every year for our kids,” Lynn said. “You should have seen the kids’ faces light up when we busted out the black uniforms. It is good for those kids. We just want them to have an experience they can remember.”

A lot of times championship games don’t live up to the billing. On this night it did. The No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in District 5A waged a battle that was settled in the last minute of the game. Both teams went back and forth, each team giving as much as they received. The only question was which team would have the ball last, and which defense would rise up.

Goddard’s Player of the Year candidate matched runs with Roswell’s Player of the Year candidate, until a Goddard fumble on a pass reception — Roswell recovered the ball at Goddard’s 42-yard — that settled the issue with

1:15 left to play in the game. Roswell hung on to win the game 24-21 and upset the No. 1 ranked Goddard Rockets at the Wool Bowl Friday night in an instant classic.

“Joel Sanchez is good from the 10-15 yard line,” Lynn said. “We felt comfortable with him. Joel is probably our Most Valuable Player this year. He does everything for us and doesn’t come off the field.”

The teams took a 21-21 tie into the fourth quarter and it looked like the scoring would continue as each team moved the ball. Each team gambled on fourth down, and the momentum changed in the fourth when Goddard’s Dalton Bowles was stuffed on fourth and inches at the Roswell 12-yard line to turn the ball over on downs as an excited Goddard coach Chris White ran on the field to ask for a measurement.

It showed the Rockets were inches short as the ball went over on downs to the Coyotes.

“It was a big win,” Lynn said. “It was great for the city of Roswell. I mean you’ve got 100 boys out here that have paid the price in sweat and blood and done all those things and done the right things.

Just a credit to Roswell for producing all of those great football players.

Dalton Bowles is a great football player. Goddard has a lot of good football players over there, proud to be a part of this rivalry.”

Goddard’s Mariah Macks (17) kicks the ball away from Portales’ Jolie Griffith (12) Tuesday in Portales. The Lady Rockets defeated Portales, 9-0. Goddard (3-3, 3-0 District 4-4A) will next travel to Lovington for a Saturday game at 1 p.m.

Gateway’s Hannah Martin (3) serves the ball Thursday in Floyd. The Lady Warriors, who had won their first 24 sets of the season including a doubleheader sweep in Floyd last week, not only dropped a set, but they also suffered a shocking loss to a 5-3 Tatum team on Monday night at home in five sets, 25-22, 17-25, 23-25, 25-19 and 15-6. Gateway (8-1, 6-0 District 4-1A) will host Lake Arthur to close the regular season in a doubleheader on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

Roswell Daily Record

Roswell Continued from Page B1

After taking over the ball late in the fourth, Roderick Sedillo, filling in for a dazed Justin Carrasco, ran for a 39-yard gain to the Rockets’ 45. As the clocked ticked down the Coyotes maneuvered the ball to Goddard’s 13-yard line and with the clock ticking, on fourth and six, Lynn sent out Joel Sanchez to kick a 30-yard field goal with a 1:50 left to play in the game.

Goddard received the kickoff and Bowles, who played magnificently in the game, picked up a first down. With the clock working against Goddard they had to throw the ball and completed one of their passes for the first down to their 36-yard line. On the next play Bowles threw and as soon as the receiver caught the ball he was hit hard and fumbled it immediately as a Roswell defensive player pounced on

it. In essence, the game was over as the Coyotes snapped the ball twice to end the game.

Coming into the game ranked the No. 2 team in District 5A they had to beat Goddard by more than two points to win the district championship and become the No. 1 seed throughout the playoffs.

“You would think we would be the No. 1 seed,” Lynn said. “This is probably the best high school football game I have ever been associated with. It was just one of those games back and forth, it just feels good to be district champs.

We came here six years ago as an afterthought and we had lost to Goddard 16 years in a row — just the pride and how far we have come down at Roswell. The kids and community have bought in, it just feels good. We are playing good football and getting healthy at the right time.”

Fast facts: This group of seniors has never lost to Goddard. Jeff Lynn is

Sports

4-2 against Goddard.

Coyote quotes: Justin Carrasco: “Goddard is the hardest-hitting team we’ve faced this season. We just persevered and won.”

Ethan Valenzuela: “It feels good to beat Goddard. Being No. 1 is going to help us because we will have a week off.”

Jasia Reese: “This is for our seniors. They wanted it and we went out and got it for them.”

Dylan Tucker: “This win means everything to us, seniors. To come out with the win, I will remember this for the rest of my life.”

Joel Sanchez: “I was pretty confident in the kick that’s why I made it. I just knew I was going to make it. We practice this every day in practice.”

Dominic Nava: “The call was Sierra, I just popped up and scored on the slant. We have the home crowd advantage going into the playoffs.”

Roswell finishes the regular season at 8-2 and 2-1 in the district.

Yellen, Powell say more needed to promote recovery

By Martin Crutsinger AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell say more must be done to limit the damage from the coronavirus pandemic and to promote a full economic recovery.

While both struck upbeat notes about the future of the economy in prepared testimony Tuesday before the House Financial Services Committee, they also warned that the economy needs help.

It marked the first joint appearance by the two economic leaders in their current jobs and it was Yellen’s first congressional appearance since taking over as Treasury secretary.

Yellen thanked Congress for passing President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which was approved with only Democratic support. All Republicans in the House and Senate opposed the measure.

“With the passage of the Rescue Plan, I am confident that people will reach the other side of this pandemic with the foundations of their lives intact,” Yellen said. “And I believe they will be met there by a growing economy. In fact, I think we may see a return to full employment next year.”

The economy fell into a deep recession a year ago and though it began to mend by summer, nearly 10 million of the jobs lost have not been recovered.

Powell testified that a recovery is far from com-

The Fed will “not lose sight of the millions of Americans who are still hurting, including lower wage workers in the services sector, African Americans, Hispanics and other minoirty groups that have been especially hard hit,” Powell said.

The Fed kept its benchmark interest rate at a record low of 0% to 0.25% at its meeting last week and even though it signifi-

cantly boosted its economic forecast, it continued to signal that its benchmark rate would remain unchanged through 2023.

Under the March 2020 COVID-19 relief law, the Treasury secretary and Fed chairman are required to testify before Congress on a quarterly basis to provide updates. Powell and Yellen will appear Wednesday before the Senate Banking Committee.

Yellen on Tuesday pledged a rapid rollout from the Treasury of the

new relief plan. She noted that within the first week after the legislation was signed into law, the Treasury and the IRS have distributed more than 90 million direct payments which provide $1,400 to qualifying individuals.

Yellen said since she took office two months ago, she has been focused on making sure that relief gets quickly to the areas of greatest need such as the “smallest small businesses, which are disproportionately owned by women and people of color.”

Yellen said the Paycheck Protection Program which was created by last year’s legislation often did not reach the smallest businesses. She said Treasury was working with the Small Business Administration to “tweak” how the program is implemented so that the loans, which the government forgives if businesses don’t lay off their workers, can reach millions more microbusinesses, especially those in rural and low-income areas.

will also provide more than $30 billion to help renters and homeowners at risk of being evicted, Yellen said. She said the Trump administration had put in place rules that required tenants and landlords to provide a large amount of documentation to get rental assistance, documentation that the Biden administration is reducing.

“We’re cutting through the red tape for them, while still taking reasonable steps to prevent fraud and abuse,” Yellen said.

Mini Fact:

Welcome to the Amazon

Living in layers

The Amazon River begins high in the Andes Mountains and flows about 4,000 miles across the continent. Only the Nile River in Africa is longer.

The Amazon River has more than 1,100 tributaries. (A tributary is a stream or river that feeds a larger river or lake.) Seventeen of these are more than 900 miles long. The Amazon carries one-fifth of all the river water flowing into the oceans of the Earth. The mouth of the river is 200 miles wide where it enters into the Atlantic Ocean.

What is a basin?

We use basins, or sinks and bowls, to hold things, especially water. Our planet Earth has basins, too.

A drainage basin collects rainwater, which drains into a common outlet, like a river.

The Amazon River Basin covers more than 2.4 million square miles. This river system flows in seven countries, including about half of Brazil, and covers land in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.

People along the Amazon

Each year, for a six-month period, the banks along the Amazon flood. People, plants and animals in the area adjust to these changes. Waters rise from 20 feet to 50 feet

Animals in the rainforest live on different levels, from the ground up to the top of the trees. That is why so many of them can live in small areas.

Emergent layer: The tallest trees with thick leaves are homes to lightweight birds, bats and butterflies.

and flood an area as far as 50 miles from the river. Many houses are built on stilts, or designed to float on the river.

Most of the river basin is covered with rainforests, so this large area is home to a comparably small number of people, about 30 million. About 2.7 million of those are Indigenous people, or those whose ancestors first inhabited the area.

People living in the Amazon River Basin are farmers, growing soya beans, nuts, rice and corn. The river provides fish for food.

More animals live in the canopy than in any other layer. Many of the trees have tough and shiny leaves. Some animals never go down to the ground.

Understory: Because of the thick leaves above, not much direct sunlight reaches this area. Many plants have huge leaves.

Snakes might live here.

Floor: This layer is dark and quiet.

Animals that hunt, such as jaguars, live here.

Many insects crawl on the ground.

Who else lives there?

“Bio” means life, and “diversity” means variety. The biodiversity is probably greater in rainforest areas than anywhere else.

Hundreds of different species, including mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and insects, thrive in the warm, damp climate.

Some of the creatures who live there include: • Jaguars are the largest cats in the Western Hemisphere.

Eco Note The Smithsonian Natural History Museum revealed in January that scientists had observed electric eels in the Amazon River hunting in groups. Eels are traditionally solitary animals, although mammals commonly hunt in groups. They were seen working together to push small tetra fish into tight shallows, where others would attack them and stun them. “By acting in groups, the eels have more chance of success,” said David de Santana, who led the research team.

• 1 bell pepper, chopped • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes • 1 pound stew beef, cut into cubes • 2 (16-ounce) cans black beans, drained

B6 Wednesday, March 24, 2021 DEAR ABBY

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My beautiful 17-year-old stepdaughter, “Amelia,” recently became sexually active.

She’s in a “serious” relationship with the boy she had sex with. They have been together for six months, and from what she’s told me, they both gave each other their virginity and protection was used.

She has not disclosed this to her parents.

My husband and Amelia are very close, but she and her mom recently had a falling-out. Amelia pledged me to secrecy, and I immediately scheduled her to see an OB/GYN to get her on birth control.

My question is, should I tell my husband? I feel awful not telling him, but she

Dennis the Menace

Comics has told me she doesn’t want either of her parents to know. I’m grateful she comes to me for things like this, but eventually, it’s going to come out when my husband sees the explanation of benefits from the insurance.

Amelia’s mom and I have a solid relationship, and my husband and her mom also have a good one. I don’t want to keep secrets regarding their daughter, but I don’t want to betray my stepdaughter either. Please help.

brother could continue his friendship with Brad.

Over the years, she has occasionally had online contact with Brad and even told him that she appreciated him talking with our son because our son has few friends. But now our son, who knows nothing about the affair or how bad it hurt me, has become friendly with Brad.

It is very difficult hearing him talk about things they do together. Should we tell our son about the affair?

STILL HURT IN TEXAS

DEAR STEPMOM: It isn’t necessary to betray your stepdaughter’s confidence to get her the help she needs. Go online to plannedparenthood.org, locate the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic and share that information with Amelia. The organization provides a wide range of low-cost services to women and men, including family planning, STD diagnosis and treatment, and birth control on a confidential basis. You should also encourage Amelia to discuss this with her parents. She is behaving responsibly in wanting to protect herself.

DEAR STILL HURT: Tempting as it may be to “out” your wife to your son, keep that information to yourself. I question the wisdom of Brad having been encouraged to cultivate a relationship with your son since this friendship is the fruit of that decision.

Because you prefer not to hear what your son and Brad are doing, the next time it comes up, change the subject. He may or may not catch on and question you about the reason, but if he does, all you need to say is you’d rather not discuss it.

By Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be clear regarding what you want to do and how you plan to proceed, but don’t expect others to tag along or agree with you. Be open to suggestions, but don’t let anyone push you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you are anxious, you’ll make a mistake. Take a moment, think things through and consider all your options. Don’t give anyone a chance to railroad you into something you don’t need or want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

you make a move. Don’t ignore what’s happened in the past.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Focus on fitness, health and spending time with the people you love. Get involved in activities that push you to be and do your best, and you’ll find contentment and satisfaction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Mull over your plans, and elaborate on what it is you want to pursue. The changes you implement are best done in secret until you have everything in place. The less friction there is, the easier it will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Pull out all the stops and take action. It’s what you do, not what you say, that will make the difference. A chance to work alongside someone you trust and respect will make your life easier.

Steer clear of joint ventures. You will do well if you put your time and money into personal and home improvements. Don’t trust anyone who makes unrealistic promises.

Concentrate on what you can do by yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Rethink your motives and what you are trying to achieve. Rework your plan to fit the results you expect and forge ahead. Don’t let a physical or emotional attraction jeopardize your position.

It’s time to do things differently.

Keeping up with the changing times will ensure that you don’t get left behind. Update your surroundings and sell items you no longer use.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stop before you make an irreversible mistake. Spend more time honing your skills and figuring out what you want. Personal improvement will lead to a better life, friendships and insight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep your life simple and your discussions truthful. Observe the changes going on around you and consider what’s best for you before

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Take control and sort through anything you’ve left unfinished.

You’ll feel better once you have everything in place. Tackle something you have been putting off due to other people’s interference.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be quiet about your plans. The less anyone knows about your goals, the easier it will be for you to get things done. Don’t let yourself be controlled by others any longer.
