COVID-19 alters some aspects of policing
Alex Ross Photo Roswell Police Department officer Brian Jefferson. By Alex Ross Roswell Daily Record
For some people, finding the ideal career can be a long, arduous journey, but not for Brian Jefferson. Three years ago Jefferson was sworn in as one of the Roswell Police Department’s youngest officers. Today, the 23-year-old police officer said he still loves his work. “It doesn’t feel like a job to me,” he said. Jefferson, 23, said he knew from a young age he wanted to do something that helped people — such as a firefighter, emergency medical technician or member of the military. “I always knew I wanted to do something that was hands-on, that required more than just like sitting at a desk or something like that,” he said. At about the age of 12 or 13, a career in law enforcement first piqued
Jefferson’s interest when his brotherin-law became a California Highway Patrol officer. He would often tell Jefferson about the events he experienced and people he encountered on the job. Like most workplaces and other aspects of life, the COVID-19 global pandemic changed some aspects of how police officers perform their job. To minimize the risk of infection and transmission of the disease, the Department has adopted social distancing guidelines, and in doing so has greatly reduced their face-to-face contact with the public. Dispatchers now screen calls that come into the Roswell Police Department. For less urgent calls a dispatcher asks the caller to leave their name and phone number so an officer can contact them. Interviews with witnesses are often conducted over the phone and information for reports is
now usually gathered over the phone. The Department has also provided officers with protective gloves and face masks for the calls they do go out on and have contact with a person who could have the virus. “You obviously can’t be 100% protected, but they do supply us with the protective equipment that we need,” Jefferson said. Though he has not been on a call where someone is confirmed to have COVID-19, there have been some calls where dispatch has warned that someone possibly has the virus. “If you do have to make contact with that person obviously you want to be as protected as possible so wear a mask, gloves, try to keep your distance if possible,” he said. When officers have to interact with someone who has possibly been exposed to COVID-19, Jefferson said they will typically have the person step outside. The police academy trains officers how to handle various situations or scenarios on the job, but Jefferson said a health crisis like the pandemic is not one of them. “There is no special training for preparing for this type of event, at least at the academy,” he said. Roswell residents, he believes, are scared of the pandemic and taking it seriously since cases were being confirmed across the state. The social distancing and restricted interactions with the public, he said, do make some things harder. Such as community policing, in which law enforcement officers proactively seek to root out crime by maintaining a presence and interacting regularly with people who live in the effected area. “It is a lot harder to get out there and talk to the public and get their feedback and see what is going on, what’s going around in the streets, good or bad,” Jefferson said. The danger the virus presents is another danger that officers must deal with on the job, he added.
“Being a police officer you are constantly worried about violent people trying to hurt you, just different stuff like that. Now it (the pandemic) is just another thing that is added to the list of something that you got to look out for,” Jefferson said. With the onset of the pandemic, Jefferson said he thinks overall calls to the department for service have dropped, but at the same time police are responding to more calls related to domestic disturbances and parental assistance. That increased time people are forced to spend at home together, fewer places to go and mounting stress are likely contributors those situations. “I mean, I can understand where some of the frustration comes in,” he said. One of the biggest challenges of being in law enforcement, Jefferson said, is adequately performing the various roles they are called on to play. In addition to making arrests, taking part in high speed pursuits, officers often have to be health care providers, assist people who have mental health issues and provide guidance and a sense of security for children. Often times the problems not handled by other agencies, institutions or people end up falling on the shoulders of the police, Jefferson said. Throughout a typical shift, Jefferson said an officer experiences an emotional rollercoaster. “You go through a rollercoaster of emotions and you just have to learn to put up with that and I think that is the hardest aspect of the job is having to, I guess, try to be the best you can in each specific call I guess,” he said. People, Jefferson said, often think officers are a like group of robots who think, behave and are all the same. “But I feel that is the biggest misconception that people don’t realize, that we are people and each one of us is different than the other one,” Jefferson said.

Deputies face new challenges on a daily basis
Alex Ross Photo Chaves County Sheriff’s Office deputy Miguel Silva. By Alex Ross Roswell Daily Record
About a year ago, Miguel Silva decided to make a career change. For six years, the lifelong Roswell resident had been on the front lines as an emergency medical technician with Superior Ambulance Service. Though he enjoyed the work, Silva wanted to do more. So, he decided to fulfill a longtime desire and become a Chaves County deputy. “And being a deputy allows me to do more, follow up with people and really see how effective we can be to the public,” he said. With each day, Silva, 30, faces new situations and challenges. “There is always a lot to learn and you can never really become complacent and relax on the job. It’s great,” Silva said. As a deputy he is not confined to the city limits of Roswell, but his jurisdiction extends throughout the county. “I can move throughout the county and effect more people,” Silva said. Engaging with people is one of Silva’s favorite parts of the job, however, so-
cial distancing guidelines have limited those interactions. Visitors to the Sheriff’s Office are now rarely allowed to go into the offices, a measure to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus to deputies and office staff, Silva said. Like with the Roswell Police Department, dispatchers are now screening calls that come in and situations that do not require the presence of a deputy on scene are handled over the phone. Hand sanitizer, wipes, face masks and gloves have now become common accessories. Silva added deputies wipe down and clean their patrol units when they return from a call. In law enforcement, direct face-toface contact is sometimes inescapable. Silva said that has made his job more interesting and forced he and his colleagues to make adjustments. “You know, law enforcement is about adapting and overcoming anything life throws at you. So that is what we are doing. We are adapting and we are going to overcome and we are going to continue to do our jobs and make sure this county is safe,” he said.
The social distancing though is necessary, Silva said. He and other deputies come into contact with countless people each day and restricting in-person contact keeps deputies safe and also prevents them from unintentionally transmitting the virus to their families. “We never really know what we will pick up from one call to the next,” Silva said. Since New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued a stay-at-home instruction and a various other public health orders in March, most people have been forced to spend nearly their all time at home, and deputies have to respond to more domestic calls. Overall though, Silva thinks the county has responded well to the pandemic and complied with the governor’s orders meant to minimize spread of COVID-19. He notes the
low number of confirmed cases in Chaves County. Despite the social and economic strains presented by the pandemic, Silva said he has seen the good surface during the pandemic. “I feel like people are helping each other more and its nice to see out there sometimes,” he said. One of the biggest misconceptions Silva said exists about law enforcement officers is that they are somehow the bad guys, when in reality they are just people trying to make a difference. “We are never going to make everybody happy. We want to hear both sides of the story and try to do what’s best for the people,” he said. When asked if he plans to continue in law enforcement, Silva does not hesitate with his answer. “ I do,” he said. “I got 25 years ahead of me, absolutely.”

After a decade on the job, firefighter still passionate about the work
Alex Ross Photo Roswell Fire Department firefighter Miguel Flores. By Alex Ross Roswell Daily Record
Eighteen years ago, Miguel Flores made a move that altered his career path when he became a firefighter with the City of Roswell Fire Department. For the then-22-year-old Roswell native, he did not join the Department because of some long-held dream that he had since childhood. He was just looking for a new line of work. “Well, I was working a construction job and saw in the newspaper that the fire department was hiring, thought it might be a cool job, so I tried it out,” said Flores, who is now a lieutenant with the Department. As a member of the Department, Flores responds to fire and EMT calls within the city and even after more than a decade, he said it is still a job he is passionate about. “I love everything we do here,” he said. One of the parts of the job Flores said he likes best is fighting an active fire, something that he adds involves more than simply dousing the flames with water. “There is just an adrenaline rush to that that I think most of us, and I include myself, enjoy,” he said.
Most of the calls the Department responds to though are calls for medical assistance, and that is where — with the COVID-19 global pandemic — firefighters have seen changes to long-held procedures, as they try to maintain a balance between providing crucial, often lifesaving care to the public while at the same time ensuring their own safety. Rather than going straight to the scene of a call and immediately making contact with a patient, firefighters now might stage a block or two down the street and wait for Superior Ambulance Service to make first contact with the patient to determine if the department’s assistance is needed. “Our response has changed a little bit. We are still responding to ever single call like we did before the pandemic started, but we are now staging on certain calls to eliminate possible exposure, possibly save some PPE (personal protective equipment) because it is obviously pretty limited now throughout the country,” he said. Whereas before firefighters would usually be equipped with just gloves on a medical call, Flores said they have now also been equipped with safety glasses, N-95 face masks and protective gowns for calls where a person is
thought to be infected with COVID-19. Flores said firefighters will perform invasive care if needed, but will limit the amount if possible, such as anything involving the patient’s airway. “We are not going to withhold any patient care because of the situation but we would prefer not to do something so invasive,” he said. Flores, a father of four, said he and other firefighters do worry about possibly contracting the virus and unknowingly transmitting it to loved ones. He added that even when exposed, it can be up to 14 days before symptoms become apparent. “It’s definitely something I do not want to take home to my kids,” he said. A public health crisis of the magnitude of a pandemic is something that Flores said he never thought he would have to deal with. Components of the training he and his fellow firefighters receive though do guide them in how to deal with such a scenario.
And it is keeping up with the innovations in medication, technology and lifesaving procedure that is one of the most challenging parts of the job. Flores added that there have been large advancements in technology and medical care since he came onto the force. One of the biggest misconceptions is that between fires and medical calls firefighters “sit around and watch TV all day.” In addition to going to calls, they undergo routine training, work around the station and keep their trucks, gear and equipment up to standard, As for his future, Flores said he plans to remain a firefighter, and continue to answer the calls of distress that come into the Department each day. Now 40 years of age, Flores said, he plans to continue to be on the frontline of emergency calls until he is eligible for retirement.

Medical professionals push personal concerns aside, focus on care
Submitted Photo Dr. Stanislav Belyaev By Juno Ogle Roswell Daily Record
Although Roswell has not been overwhelmed with cases of COVID-19, it has seen some patients hospitalized, and, as they often do, medical staff put aside concerns for their own well-being to care for them. One of those treating COVID-19 patients at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center is Dr. Stanislav Belyaev. Originally from Russia, Belyaev did his residency in Chicago in 1998 and a fellowship in New York City in 2000 before first coming to work at ENMMC in 2004. Several years later, he moved to Albuquerque to work, but returned to Roswell and ENMMC last year. His specialty is pulmonology — the diseases of the respiratory system — which makes him well suited to treat those who develop COVID-19 from an infection of the coronavirus. “We will see all kinds of pulmonary and critical care cases. We have our pulmonary clinic and we see practically all pulmonary patients,” he said. Those include patients with sepsis and pneumonia, which can develop with severe cases of COVID-19. “They do have respiratory symptoms, but most of the patients are not very sick. Some of them get sick
enough they get admitted to the hospital and into the intensive care unit,” he said in a phone interview. Three of four COVID-19 patients that were hospitalized at ENMMC up to the end of March were in ICU, with Belyaev treating two of those, he said. They were among the most severe cases in Roswell so far. “One of the patients, he was quite sick and he almost ended up being intubated,” Belyaev said. Intubation is inserting a tube into the patient’s mouth and airway to use a ventilator when a patient cannot breathe on their own. “The condition of the second patient was more severe and he ended up on the ventilator. That patient stayed on the ventilator for about seven days,” he said. Both recovered and were discharged from the hospital. This isn’t the first time Belyaev has seen a pandemic in his career. He was at Montefiore Med Center, Brooklyn, N.Y., for his fellowship during the 2003 SARS outbreak, and in Albuquerque during the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. The experience of himself and Dr. Daniel Nazon have contributed to the hospital being well-prepared for the coronavirus, Belyaev said. “We’ve been in practice for more than 20 years, so we’ve seen all kinds of situations and we took care of all kinds of patients, so I think in general we are very well-prepared for this outbreak,” he said. The administration and other staff have taken steps to help ENMMC prepare as well, he said. “It’s not just us, the providers, it’s also the administration of the hospital did an absolutely fantastic job preparing the hospital for the outbreak. It’s the administration, the support staff, nurses, the ancillary services and physicians did a real good job taking care of those patients,” he said. “The nurses and the respiratory therapists in the hospital, they are fantastic. They’re very experienced, they’re fearless. They just do what needs to be done. At the same time,
their attitude toward this condition and their work in this environment is very positive,” he said. Protection for the staff is high as well, Belyaev said, with an adequate supply of personal protective equipment. Belyaev said any concerns about contracting the disease himself get pushed aside when he’s on the job, something he said first responders must do. “We think about it. We use protective equipment but we have to do what we have to do. It’s our job. When you do these kinds of things you don’t think about what can happen. You avoid thinking about it and do what is necessary for the patients and for the community,” he said. “All we can do is just use proper precautions and proceed with our regular job,” he said. That’s not to say working with COVID-19 patients doesn’t take its toll on
the medical staff, but the low number of cases in Chaves County has given some relief. “In the beginning, I think it was a little bit stressful because primarily it was something unknown and in general the media created a very grim picture of this virus. But once we started taking care of these patients all these concerns just naturally disappeared and it became just a regular case,” he said. Belyaev and his colleagues know that while Roswell has had low numbers so far, that might not always be the case. “This pandemic is not over. We don’t know what the future is going to bring us. But for now, in general, the situation in Roswell and southeast New Mexico has been under control,” he said. And when this is all over and social restrictions are lifted, what is Belyaev looking forward to? “I think I would like to travel somewhere. Just for a few days,” he said.

Small businesses benefit more from second round of federal assistance
Submitted Photo Nicole Austin, executive vice president of Pioneer Bank By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record
The federal Payroll Protection Program has saved some local businesses, according to two area community bankers who have been lending money under the program. Administered by the U.S. Small Business Association, the Payroll Protection Program was created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security (CARES) Act, signed into law March 27. It is designed to keep businesses afloat during the coronavirus emergency and allow them to retain and pay their employees. Portions of the loans can be forgiven and treated as grants in certain circumstances. There are more than 250 commercial lenders in New Mexico certified to make PPP loans. The program has had its difficulties certainly. Many bankers could not access the loan application process for the first few days after the April 3 launch. Large businesses and large commercial banks were able to dominate the first funding round, depleting the initial $350 billion in about two weeks, and some large, public corporations and multimillion-dollar operations received loans during the first funding allocation. Several dozen public companies have agreed to return some loans. The second round of funding of $310 billion has reached more of the smaller businesses, said Nicole Austin, executive vice president and chief lending officer of Pioneer Bank, which has its headquarters in Roswell. She said that bank employees in all their locations in New Mexico initially worked 10 to 12 hour days, including weekends, to try to process as many
loans as possible. By early May, they had made 432 loans for more than $50 million. “The average loan amount has dropped significantly this time around. The first round, we were averaging about $160,000 per loan. Now our average is about $35,000 a loan,” Austin said. “So this second round has really reached the true small business, momand-pop type customers.” She also said that the self-employed and sole proprietorships were able to receive funds, as well as agricultural businesses. “We’re hearing story after story that this is saving businesses,” she said. “Would there have been some businesses that would have survived without the loans? Sure. But there are some who probably would not be able to keep their doors open if it were not for this program.” Austin also said that she thinks the role of community bankers has been important because they have been willing to serve smaller customers. “We are here to support them through thick and thin, and I think this has really proven that by the way we have handled this program,” she said. Greg Marrs, chief executive officer of First American Bank, which has its headquarters in Artesia with locations in several southeastern New Mexico
cities, said his group also has worked hard to process loans as quickly and efficiently as possible. “We have assembled a team that is just completely dedicated to processing the Payroll Protection Program loans,” he said. He said the bank made 715 loans during the first round of funding for $131 million. By early May, it had made an additional 246 loans for $21.6 million. He agreed with Austin that the second-round funding tended to be for much smaller amounts. He said that a third round of funding might be needed at some point, and both he and Austin encouraged business owners to apply if they need the funds. Austin also recommended that people consult with their accountant about whether the loan would be suitable for them. During the initial round of funding, New Mexico businesses received 8,277 Payroll Protection Program loans for a total of $1.42 billion. During the first week of the second release of funding, from April 27 to May 1, New Mexico businesses received 10,001 loans for a total of $758.79 million. The Small Business Administration is not releasing county- or city-level information at this time.

Local food processors keep food supply going By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record
Even the temporary closure of a food processing plant can have a significant effect on what shoppers find available to them in stores. According to a White House briefing paper issued April 28, the closure of a large beef processing plant can mean that 10 million servings of beef do not make it to retailers or wholesalers on that day. Chaves County’s large food processing plant is the Leprino Foods Co. operation just southeast of the Roswell city limits on Omaha Road. The plant is more than 40,000 square feet and employs about 580 people who work seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The plant makes cheese and dairy by-products such as whey and nutritional supplements. It takes delivery of about 6 million gallons of milk a day and produces about 700,000 pounds to a million pounds of cheese a day, mostly mozzarella cheese. The global company is the nation’s largest mozzarella manufacturer for the food industry. On April 24, the company ordered about a five-day closure of its Fort Morgan, Colorado, plant after it tested all of its employees there, about 390, and found that 80 individuals tested positive for coronavirus, with about half being asymptomatic, according to various Colorado and industry news reports. The plant was cleaned and sanitized and workers who tested positive were placed on medical leaves until cleared by health professionals to return to work. The Roswell plant has not had a shutdown. Local Plant Manager Don Doyle said, “During this COVID-19 crisis, as a critical infrastructure food manufacture, we are continuing to operate as normally as possible, with even more aggressive protocols and cleaning procedures in place.”
The plant is doing daily temperature checks on employees, asking for employees and required visitors to fill out health questionnaires, providing N95 and surgical masks to workers, and requiring employees who are ill for any reason to stay home. In addition, it has restricted visitors, staggered shifts, created social distancing markers in the plant and instituted new locker protocols to ensure proper distance between workers. Chaves County also has a beef and bison slaughterhouse and packing operation, USA Beef Packing LLC, on Cedarvale Road east of the city limits. With the issuance of an Executive Order by President Donald Trump on April 28 that relied on the Defense Production Act provisions, all meat processors are ordered to stay operational. Joe Madrid, the owner of USA Beef Packing, said that there have been no diagnosed cases of COVID-19 at the plant, as of May 8. He said the plant is following the directives of on-site U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors. A quality assurance officer at the plant previously said that this entailed following USDA and CDC guidelines for handling meat and equipment, as well as regular screening of employees for coronavirus symptoms, including with temperature checks before shifts.

Submitted Photo The Roadrunner Food Bank supplies at least a portion of the food for 14 food distribution operations in Chaves County. By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record
A major entity behind Roswell’s supply of food for people experiencing hunger is the Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, part of the national Feeding America network with its system of more than 200 food banks. Formed in 1980, Roadrunner supplies food providers in 16 counties in New Mexico. The other 17 counties have regional food banks that sometimes work with Roadrunner as well. In Chaves County, Roadrunner provides at least a portion of the food distributed by 14 different organizations, including the well-known food banks run by the Salvation Army of Roswell and Harvest Ministries. During the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, Roadrunner supplied 1.49 pounds of food in Chaves County. So far in the current fiscal year, with May and June still to be counted, it has provided 1.24 million pounds. Not all of its partners are food banks, said Sonya Warwick, communications officer with Roadrunner Food Bank. Some are senior centers, community kitchens, group homes and schools. The coronavirus has affected the organization not only in terms of a surge in demand from their usual 70,000 people a week, but also by a loss of volunteers due to “stay-at-home” orders or illness; a need to change food delivery systems in some cities from “open air market” type of food giveaways to boxed food packages; and the closure of about 20% of their partner organizations in the state, at least on a temporary basis.
“For whatever reasons, the Chaves County operations are going strong,” she said. Warwick said that Roadrunner has provided information to agencies on how to operate safely during the current situation, but that food distributors manage their own sites independently. “We don’t dictate how they do distribution,” she said. “We ask them to use some sort of social distancing and most do require some sort of paperwork.” One of the Roswell food distributors is the Unity Center at 108 E. Bland St., which has been giving food to people for about 10 years, according to Lucy Moreno. She said food distribution is once a month on the third Thursday and people have to pre-register. Typically, they have 50 families, who receive about 50 pounds of food each. Last month, they already had distributed all the food when some additional families arrived, she said, so they were told to register for this month’s distribution. In addition to the Salvation Army, Harvest Ministries and Unity Center, other food or meal distributing groups in Chaves County are the Community Kitchen, Chaves County Maternal Child, the St. Peter Good Samaritan Program, the Neighborhood Club of the Nazarene, Waymaker Church, Chaves County JOY Center in Roswell, Christ’s Church, Church on the Move, Mesa Middle School, Sunset Elementary School and Loaves and Fishes in Hagerman. The Roadrunner Food Bank website, www.rrfb.org, has contact information for food distribution sites on its “Find Food” page.

Salvation Army captain: Hope is greater than fear
JT Keith Photo Salvation Army By JT Keith Roswell Daily Record
Captain Jonathan Woollin and his wife Captain Niki Woollin have been in service at the Roswell Salvation Army since June 2019. “We love Roswell,” Jonathan said. “On a personal level we love the community feel Roswell has. We love how everybody wants to help everybody. “When we first got here, we mentioned on Facebook that we had a shortage of food at the food bank. The next day people were dropping off donations. This a scary generous community and we love it very much.” Before the coronavirus, on Sunday mornings they used to feed the homeless, 30-50 people, a sit-down breakfast (now a to-go meal), then have Sunday school before having church at 10:45 a.m. The coronavirus has changed the way the Salvation Army does things. They have gone to an online format, as opposed to face-to-face operations. They have shut down their offices on College Ave. and moved the entire operation to the Food Bank at
207 E. Chisum St. They have also seen a larger amount of food boxes handed out. In March 2019, they gave out emergency food boxes serving 713 people; in March 2020, they served 1,119. They also moved five employees from the thrift store to the food bank. Both husband and wife are ordained ministers in the Salvation Army, having completed a two-year training program at Crestmont College in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He and his wife were among 46 people to make it out the program. Both have been officers in the Salvation Army for eight years. Jonathan has been a church member in the Salvation Army since he was 15 years old in Australia. The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 in London, England. They are in 132 countries. “My wife fell in love with my Australian-British sense of humor,” Jonathan said. “which is very dry and sarcastic. It was either the accent or the sense of humor that won her over, I’m not sure which.”
Both believe the Army is a calling, and they feel like doing this is something God wants them to do. After meeting, both felt like they were called to this ministry. Jonathan feels like serving God with the love of his life and best friend is one of the best things possible. “At the local community level,” Jonathan said, “we try to be responsive to the needs of the community, and not just do a cookie-cutter ministry.” Jonathan has been a huge proponent of technology in the church that doesn’t distract from worship. Jonathan feels good about the way people can watch their livestream services on Facebook every Sunday morning. “We can look at this from the negative,” Jonathan said, “and be really consumed with the negative and I understand that. But I firmly believe what God said, at the end of the book in Genesis: ‘What man meant for evil, God meant for good.’ I truly believe God can take any situation no matter how bad and make positive outcomes from it.” Since the coronavirus has hit, the Salvation Army has seen an upswing in people watching their Facebook services on Sunday mornings. People have also been giving material goods to help. Jonathan said, “I think there is an opportunity for communities across the United States to come together and actually figure what’s important in their lives and support one another as neighborhoods, friends, co-workers, and just really help each other in a way that we haven’t seen before.” Jonathan believes that God is using this as an opportunity for the church to show love and help people in the communities.... “I believe that hope is greater than fear, our normal life has been interrupted, but when you look around, people have been generous and help people that they have never met before, but hope is always greater than fear.”
