Stubbs, Garcia react to change in election

After filing for re-election Tuesday, Roswell City Councilor Art Sandoval told the Daily Record on Wednesday he is stepping out of the Ward 3 race.

Sandoval said he filed the necessary paperwork Wednesday morning with the Roswell City Clerk’s Office to officially withdraw from the Ward 3 contest.

Sandoval and challengers Richard Garcia, Tarra Morgan and Judy Stubbs also officially declared their candidacies for the Ward 3 seat Tuesday.

“Since my announce-

ment for re-election, other opportunities have developed that would impact my ability to serve on the City Council,” Sandoval said in a statement he delivered to the Daily Record Wednesday. “Therefore, after four terms in office, I have decided to withdraw my name and not run for another term.”

City Clerk Sharon Coll confirmed Sandoval officially withdrew from the City Council race at 10:01 a.m.

Wednesday.

Sandoval, 44, who was born and raised in Ros-

well, told the Daily Record last week he was running for a fifth, 4-year term. He said last week he was the best candidate in the Ward 3 race, who wanted to see unity on the City Council, utilizing his experience and community involvement.

“I want to thank the people of the city of Roswell for the privilege of serving them and I feel truly blessed,” Sandoval continued in the statement. “I look forward to working for the betterment of New Mexico in a new way that will soon be announced and I’ll be

pleased to share that with everyone at the appropriate time. I will complete my term of office and look forward to a new chapter in my civic duties. Thank you.

God bless Roswell and God bless New Mexico.”

Sandoval’s term will expire in March, when voters will decide the mayoral race and five City Council contests, only one of which is an uncontested race.

Kidnapping case hits standstill after defendant skips trial Judge declares mistrial and issues warrant after jury, police and attorneys wait in vain

By Trevier Gonzalez Roswell Daily Record The second day of court proceedings for a man charged with committing aggravated burglary and kidnapping his ex-girlfriend in 2015 resulted in a mistrial after he failed to appear in court Wednesday, leading to an extraditable warrant being issued for his arrest.

About 30 minutes after 41-year-old Enrique L. Rodriguez failed to make his 9 a.m. appearance in court, Chaves County District Judge Dustin K. Hunter questioned defense attorney Doug Jones Witt on Rodriguez’s whereabouts.

“I would advise the court that I specifically told Mr. Rodriguez yesterday, as the court did too,

what time to be back this morning for trial,” Witt said. “I have talked to his employer, Mr. Pirtle, who is in the courtroom this morning. Mr. Pirtle informed me that early this (Wednesday) morning Mr. Rodriguez did not show to the shop on the farm, apparently where they work.”

Witt said, in addition, he had also spoken to Rodriguez’s brother, who was also present in court.

“All of the people connected with Mr. Rodriguez in this case have no idea where he is,” Witt said. “And certainly, the defense council has no idea where he is.”

Witt said after realizing his client’s absence, he had his office call local See CASE, Page A2

JOY Center expects new contract with state soon

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

The executive director of the Chaves County JOY Centers says she is hopeful that the long reimbursement delays will end now that the state has taken over payment processes.

The head of the Chaves County JOY Centers expects to receive a new contract with the state as soon as the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department takes over reimbursing providers for services to senior citizens, at least on a temporary basis.

“They are working on putting contracts in place so that providers will be at peace of mind that we will have a contract directly with the Aging and LongTerm Services Department,” said Monica Duran, executive director of the

four JOY Centers in the county.

Although the JOY Center is still “in limbo” at this moment without a contract with the state in hand, Duran said she thinks one will be provided in the coming weeks.

The Aging department announced in December that it would terminate its contract with the Non-Metro Area Agency on Aging by Feb.1, a move that Non-Metro has protested and that has drawn the request of an investigation by a Congressional leader from New Mexico.

Non-Metro, a division of the North Central New Mexico Economic Develop-

ment District, is one of four Area Agencies on Aging in the state that acts as an intermediary between senior services providers and the state department. One agency covers Bernalillo County, two cover tribal communities and Non-Metro had covered the remainder of the state.

This year, the heads of many senior services providers across the state, including Duran, had complained of significant delays in reimbursements

by Non-Metro that had, in some instances, caused See CENTER, Page A3

Artesia man to serve two years in prison for DUI crash

By Mike Smith Roswell Daily Record

CARLSBAD — An Artesia man who pleaded no contest recently in the injuries of six people in July 2016 has been sentenced.

Blake Bollema was facing numerous charges ranging from great bodily harm by a vehicle (under the influence of alcohol or drugs), fleeing the scene of an accident, failure to render aid and a stop sign traffic violation.

He was also charged with DWI second offense.

After hearing from both the prosecution and defense, District Judge Lisa Riley sentenced him to 10 years, eight of those years were suspended, which means he’ll be serving two years in prison.

He will be on supervised probation and Riley also ordered him for a drug and alcohol screening and completing a treatment Today’s Forecast

program.

“You will still be able to work,” she said. “All the fines will be waived and fees will be imposed,” she added.

His hearing lasted nearly two hours at the Eddy County Courthouse.

Artesia Fire Marshal Brenden Harvey, who was a fireman and emergency medical technician at the time of the crash, told of what the accident scene looked

Roswell defense attorney Doug Jones Witt rises to inform Chaves County District Court Judge Dustin K. Hunter that while he had informed his client, Enrique Rodriguez, to appear in court Wednesday morning, Witt is uncertain of his whereabouts.

hospitals as well as the Chaves and Eddy county detention centers.

Witt told the judge, according to his staff, Rodriguez had not been admitted into a local hospital or taken into custody in either jail.

The district judge declared a mistrial, and a bench warrant was issued for Rodriguez’s arrest.

The state of New Mexico made arguments to continue trying the case, despite Rodriguez’s absence.

Deputy district attorney Jonathan Michael Thomas specifically mentioned Rule 5-612 in district court criminal procedure, which allows exceptions to the defendant’s presence if they had made an appearance previously, and that the defendant has chosen to be voluntarily absent.

Judge Hunter called for a recess to further look into the rule. About an hour later, Thomas pressed the importance of why the trial should continue with the still-waiting jury.

“I know it’s one thing, we’re sitting here at 10:40 and we should have started at 9, but to completely vacate and excuse all these jurors would be the biggest inconvenience,” Thomas said.

The state raised another concern that involved the safety of the alleged victim, Esperanza Riofrio-Anaya.

“Your honor, before this case even got to you, this was a TRO (temporary restraining order) that judge Bell had,” Thomas said. “The defendant violated the TRO by going to her house. It was expired from one month when this crime occurred. The victim obtained a new restraining order, and violated that restraining order. He has a pending case of aggravated stalking.

“He is a true concern. When we found out he wasn’t here in court today, we sent police to go secure the victim.

“It is a great jeopardy to her life and safety for him to be out there in the wind, and that’s all more reason to conclude this case so she can move on.

“He’s left his lawyer without knowing, he’s left his employer — who posted a bond — without knowing. He’s left his brother without knowing. There is no good reason before the court for his absence.”

After citing court cases like State of New Mexico v. Chris Padilla that

Rodriguez show how Rule 5-612 can allow a trial to continue without the presence of the defendant if they are “voluntarily absent,” the district judge spoke.

“I have no doubt in my mind that the defendant’s absence is intentional and contrived for the purpose of thwarting a verdict in this case,” Hunter said. “At this present time, I have no evidence other than the fact that the defendant was here yesterday — I don’t know if he’s in the hospital. I don’t know if he intentionally fled — I know what I believe.”

Thomas responded, stating that Witt’s office had called local hospitals and, despite it being a workday, his employer, Cliff Pirtle was again present in district court. Hunter soon arrived at a decision “What I’m going to do is — and I don’t like it, because it is an inconvenience to the jury — I’m going to grant a mistrial,” Hunter said.

“I think I have to in this case. I’m going to issue an immediate bench warrant with a no-hold bond. No bond. I’m also going to, by separate order, enter a pretrial detention order.”

The judge then told the court he was going to forfeit Rodriguez’s paid bond.

Hunter also ordered that the prosecution’s remaining witnesses from the Roswell Police Department, Richard Romero and Michael Burkowski, be deposed at the expense of the defendant.

“Should he be apprehended again, there will be a standing order that there will be no conditions of release for the defendant,” Hunter said.

In respect to concerns for the victim’s safety, Hunter told prosecu-

tors he would be more than willing to sign or extend a no-contact order.

Deputy District Attorney Matthew Stone said after the declared mistrial, Rodriquez’s absence took away time not only from himself, but Witt too.

“There could have been other jury trials yesterday and today in front of this judge, but likely got moved because of this being a twoday trial,” Stone said. “It’s just allaround a worse-case-scenario really.”

Witt said he had no idea as to what happened to his client, Rodriguez.

“It would be sheer speculation at my part,” Witt said. “But, I think the judge got it right. I mean — the state made a very convincing argument about the reasons why they thought the trial should go forward, trying the defendant in absentia, but I think judge Hunter got it absolutely right.

“There are some constitutional rights, like the right to confront the witnesses against you and to have a fair trial, that I think, outweigh the other factors listed in the case law that we went over today.

“It’s a difficult decision. An unenviable position for judge Hunter to be in.

“Criminal trial work is beset with — fraught with pitfalls, and unexpected twists and turns, and you have to be able to work through them on your feet.”

Witt said while he still can’t speculate on why his client didn’t show up, the evidence against Rodriguez is fairly compelling.

“Obviously, the jury didn’t hear all of the evidence,” Witt said of Tuesday’s court proceedings.

The Daily Record asked Witt if he was troubled with his client not showing up in court.

“I hope Mr. Rodriguez is safe, I hope that he will take seriously his obligation to come back to this jurisdiction and face trial,” he said.

“I believe, especially based on what I’ve seen today, that process will be a fair one.”

When asked if he would represent Rodriguez if he did make another court appearance in Chaves County, Witt said, “of course.”

Prescribed burns near Capitan planned soon

Submitted

Some areas within miles of Capitan will be part of a prescribed burn program to occur in coming weeks.

Beginning in late January and continuing through March 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will conduct prescribed burns within the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area. Five prescribed fire units with the conservation are located about 10 miles northeast of Ruidoso and five miles southeast of Capitan in Lincoln County.

The units include the following areas.

• The Benches Unit: 254 acres, located above the Rio Bonito River to the north; • West Mesa Unit: 223 acres, located five miles southwest of the junction of State Road 220 and U.S. 380.

• South Mesa Unit: 300 acres, located west of Sierra Blanca Regional Airport; • South Runway Unit: 118 acres, located south of Sierra Blanca Regional Airport; and • Camp Sierra Blanca Unit: 163 acres, located three miles southwest of the junction of State Road 220 and U.S. 380.

These operations are

dependent upon weather conditions and will take several days to complete.

Smoke from the burns could be visible from Capitan, Lincoln, Ruidoso and other surrounding communities. Signs will be posted along roadways to inform motorists. Motorists should reduce speed in these areas and watch for fire personnel and equipment.

BLM indicates that prescribed burns programs are intended to reduce wildfire risks, improve watershed conditions, increase the viability of native plant species and improve wildlife habitats.

Daily Record their reactions to the news of Sandoval’s withdrawal on Wednesday.

“I wish him all the best,” Stubbs said. “I know this has been a really hard decision for him to make. He and I are friends and so he gave me the courtesy of a call. I appreciate that.

Like I said, I wish him all the best. It does change the dynamics of the election — or the campaigning, I guess. I am going to have to rethink a little bit.”

Garcia said, “I’m kind of surprised! I was out there putting signs up and I came in to get me some water. I had run out of signs and I noticed I had missed a couple of phone calls.

“I applaud Art for his service and I have the highest respect for him,” Garcia continued. “We had talked about it sometime back.

We ran into each other at Hobby Lobby and we had talked about it. I told him we just have a difference of philosophy on how we differ from trying to move the city forward. I worked with him in the school system at Dexter. I’m surprised.

Hell, I’m shocked, man! I thought for sure we’d run a good race. I thank him for his service and I wish him well if he runs for a higher office, the school system, or whatever he decides to do.”

Morgan could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Though the municipal elections are nonpartisan, Stubbs and Garcia, both Democrats, were asked by the Daily Record about

what they thought about two progressives running for the City Council.

Stubbs emphasized the City Council should be nonpartisan according to state statute, and that party affiliation should not be relevant.

Garcia also said he believes political affiliation should not matter on the City Council.

“This is supposed to be nonpartisan,” Garcia said.

“Everything is political.

We know that. I run as a concerned citizen. I am running under no banner.

There are good candidates on both sides. When one party rules, it makes it difficult to address issues of the other side. Does that make sense? It makes sense to me. I fight every day to agree to disagree. I have friends, Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, and Green Party, all over this state and city. My goal is to try to give an opportunity for that person, regardless of their affiliation, to do the best they can, not only for the citizens but to recognize we live in a great city.”

After the ballot placement drawing at 5 p.m.

Thursday, candidates will hear the results and the March 6 election will continue to progress.

The City Council will meet Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Roswell Museum and Art Center in the Basset Auditorium.

New Mexico Xcel employees to work in Puerto Rico

Submitted

Roswell employees of Xcel Energy will travel to Puerto Rico as part of teams assisting in restoring electrical power to the U.S. territory.

Xcel announced Wednesday that it will send about 65 line workers and support staff from New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and the Upper Midwest to Puerto Rico beginning at the end of January. About 30 will be from New Mexico and Texas, and they are

financial difficulties for operations. Duran had said that the delays meant that a few JOY Center employees had received their pay weeks late on a couple of occasions.

During a Nov. 15 Legislative Finance Committee meeting, two state legislators told Aging Department Acting Secretary Kyky Knowles that reimbursement problems had been reported by providers in many counties, and an LFC program evaluator said during that meeting that an audit of Non-Metro’s financial statements by the Department of Finance and Administration had uncovered a $337,000 bookkeeping discrepancy.

The state department said it will contract directly with senior services providers for at least six months while a review of Non-Metro services and finances occurs. Public hearings and comments would be required before a final decision to “de-designate” could occur, the Aging Department stated in a Tuesday news release.

Duran said that the state department has done

them and were treating multiple injuries. He said that some family members had to be flown by chopper from the crash scene to Lubbock for medical treatment.

Once Harvey stepped down, Shelly Granado told Bollema and others in the courtroom that the wreck has changed the lives of those who were riding in their SUV that night. She even presented a photo album that had pictures of her family.

“My kids will always remember that horrible night,” she said.

Ariane Navarrette, the attorney for the prosecution, then outlined how the family had gone to Roswell that night to watch a movie and then came home when they were struck by a pickup truck driven by Bollema.

She said Bollema was drinking at an Artesia restaurant and then he and some friends went to Circle K and bought some beer and liquor and then proceeded to head north on 13th Street without stopping at the intersection with U.S. 285.

expected to leave in two groups starting Feb. 1.

Hundreds of thousands of people remain without electrical power in Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria ravaged the area in September, becoming the worst natural disaster to affect the region.

Some Xcel trucks are already en route to the island via barge, according to a company new release, and crews will fly there starting at the end of the month to work in collaboration with the Puerto Rico Electric Power

Authority (PREPA).

PREPA is coordinating with the Edison Electric Institute, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on damage assessment and a coordinated restoration plan.

More than 20 U.S. electric companies, including Xcel Energy, are assisting in the restoration effort, adding 1,500 workers to a project that involves more than 5,000 people.

a good job of handling the transition so far.

“Up to this point, it has been positive in that they have communicated and they have answered the questions that we have had,” said Duran. “It sounds to me like they have a plan. It is definitely going to be a huge change for all of us, but it doesn’t sound like there should be an interruption in services.”

Duran said the JOY Center just received its November reimbursement from Non-Metro Wednesday, which is about a month later than reimbursements came through in prior years. But Duran said she is hopeful that the situation will improve with the Aging Department in charge.

Secretary Knowles indicated in her statement that the Office of the State Auditor was asked in December to investigate Non-Metro’s handling of public funds.

“It was critical that we make this move in order to be good stewards of federal and state dollars and to avoid jeopardizing our federal funding due to questionable finances by NMAAA,” she said.

The decision upset a few state and federal legislators, one of whom has

asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to review the contract termination as a possible violation of the Older Americans Act. U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-Los Alamos), a former secretary of the New Mexico Aging Department, said she also considered the decision hasty and worried that it could result in possible disruptions to services.

Tim Armer, the head of Non-Metro, has not made a public comment since the state department’s announcement. But, in September interview, he attributed reimbursement delays to the state taking longer to process its payment requests.

The Chaves County JOY Centers provide meals, transportation, day activities, housekeeping and other services for area seniors.

“We at the JOY Centers will continue to do the best we can so that seniors will not feel the stress of the change from one entity to another,” Duran said.

“We hope that there is no disruption and that we are able to provide quality services for them.”

calls made to the Regional Emergency Dispatch Center of witnesses describing the scene to dispatchers.

Navarrette then said Bollema placed a call to a friend asking for a ride.

She then said that Bollema denied drinking that night.

“This is what Blake Bollema walked away from,” she said while showing pictures of the crash scene.

“Blake Bollema walked away without an injury.”

She then pointed out that officers checked Bollema’s blood-alcohol content several hours after the crash and it was .08, which is the legal intoxication limit in New Mexico.

Defense Attorney Gary Mitchell then presented Bollema’s side to the court and he called three people to testify on Bollema’s behalf. Mitchell also presented some letters to Judge Riley stating how Bollema was trying to be a responsible person and a family man.

“These cases are far more complex than we believe,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell then showed a series of Google photos of the intersection and he presented a different side of the case saying there are no lights at the intersection.

“This intersection has 14 lanes that come in,” he

said. “There are no streetlights (and) U.S. Highway 285 is elevated 5 to 6 feet higher,” Mitchell added.

Mitchell argued that Bollema wasn’t the first to leave the scene due to problems that impacted the driver’s side door once the crash took place.

Mitchell then questioned where the impact occurred and that evasive action was taken by the SUV. Mitchell said it looked like Bollema checked to see if the intersection was clear and that’s when he decided to turn onto U.S. 285.

Mitchell said lighting and design at the intersection may have made a difference.

Bollema addressed the Granados, “I’ve been praying for the family every day,” he said.

He also told the court that he didn’t see their SUV and that he was trying to help one of his passengers who was injured in the crash.

“You are really lucky that you didn’t kill somebody,” Riley said. “There is so much pain in the courtroom on both sides,” she added.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Take Oprah seriously, but why would she go for it?

I

f Hillary Clinton could deliver a political speech half as effectively as Oprah Winfrey, she might be president today.

The actress, media mogul and erstwhile queen of daytime TV gave what, if she ever becomes president, will be known to history as the Golden Globes Address. The first de facto convention speech ever delivered at an awards show, it brought down the house and predictably stoked talk of Oprah 2020, with people close to her fueling the speculation.

In the era Before Trump, this would have been risible. Once upon a time, military service, political experience, a policy portfolio and national-security chops were mandatory to plausibly run for president. That time feels like a long time ago. Now, when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has mused about running himself, stood and applauded Oprah’s speech, you could see the early pecking order of a

Rich Lowry King Features Syndicate potential Democratic nomination battle establishing itself (”The Rock” would be a second-tier candidate).

What Donald Trump proved is that a celebrity with charisma, performative ability and gobs of free media can, in the right circumstances, stomp conventional politicians who lack all three.

People who were merely governors and senators, who had never really performed on a big stage or truly mastered the media (they were just politicians, after all), stood at a distinct disadvantage.

It’s very easy to see Oprah Winfrey doing to the likes of New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand what

Donald Trump did to the likes of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

A common cold-water argument against Oprah running is that Democrats will want the opposite of Trump in 2020, an experienced, boring politico who’s well-versed in the issues and a reliably competent executive. This line works on paper. Republicans said the same thing about Barack Obama, who prior to 2008 had come as close to genuine celebrityhood as a working politician can get. Yet Donald Trump succeeded where the worthy, earnest, managerial Mitt Romney failed.

On the current trajectory, what Democrats will most need in 2020 is someone with a big enough personality that Trump can’t diminish and negatively brand him or her. This is what he did with the rest of the Republican field and Hillary Clinton in 2016, and he easily could do the same against “Pocahontas,” aka Elizabeth Warren, and “Crazy Bernie” Sanders.

Oprah, used to commanding a massive microphone and managing a matchless brand, might be relatively immune to this treatment. She could try Obama’s tack of running to the left substantively and to the center stylistically.

She’d be the empathetic healer, the advocate of abused women, running to make history in the shadow of the civil-rights movement.

If, that is, she’s truly interested. Even the best campaigns have down cycles and bring humiliations of the sort celebrities usually avoid. Why would Oprah, who at the moment never has to encounter anyone who isn’t in awe of her, want to sign up for that?

Half the country would, by definition, begin to dislike her. She would have to fight with that part of the Democratic base committed to Bernie Sanders and suspicious of her as a Hollywood billionaire. She’d experience something that she’s never truly had

to encounter: negative press.

For the first time, she wouldn’t be completely in control of her own image. She’d have to answer for her promotion of kooky products and theories over the years, and open up more about a private life that has been almost entirely shielded from public view.

If you believe Michael Wolff, Trump conceived of a presidential run as a way, if all else failed, to enhance his brand. Oprah’s brand needs no such enhancing.

If she ran and lost, she’d become a failed presidential candidate and could presumably never quite return to being Oprah Winfrey again.

In short, there are compelling reasons for her not to make the plunge. The inherent absurdity of the idea is not one of them.

Guest Editorial

Shouldn’t name unqualified college regents Rio Grande Sun ESPANOLA — In the realm of appointing political buddies to serve as higher education board regents, there’s good news and bad news.

The good news is a few legislators have finally figured out the process of a governor appointing regents is not really a good idea. As all things with governors, politics drives the appointment much more than abilities. This results in people who will do the governor’s bidding sitting in a very important position, with a lot of power. In most cases, the people selected, and eventually confirmed, are not the best people to be leading our colleges and universities.

But what to do? Now for the bad news.

Rep. Jeff Steinborn, D-Doña Ana, and Sen. Mark Moores, R-Bernalillo, believe the answer lies in creating a bipartisan committee to garner candidates, cull the list, and then recommend names to the governor, from which he or she can choose. That sounds more like another layer of bureaucracy, with added political infighting. Legislators of each color will push their respective Ds and Rs, again irrespective of qualifications, experience and skill.

Steinborn and Moores are on the right track. The ability to choose regents must be taken away from the governor. Our higher education system is in shambles.

The state Higher Education Board perennially tries to create an impossible situation where some smaller colleges would be absorbed by larger ones or universities.

Enter state legislators trying to protect their turf, regardless of the state’s or student populations’ needs. Look at any college campus in the state and you’ll find a slew of buildings named after politicians who had nothing to do with bettering education. They just dedicated taxpayer money, our money, to erecting a building.

These elected officials’ giant egos will never allow them to release their monuments to another college.

The answer is in creating qualifications for regents, then sticking to them.

Not so long ago this would have seemed impossible, but look at what happened with the Public Regulation Commission.

Imposing qualifications on commission candidates hasn’t been entirely successful but it’s a far cry from the days of Shirley Baca, Sandy Jones, David King and many more, who settled a wide array of civil and/or criminal charges against them.

We’re glad to see legislators recognize the failures of the system. They just need to reach a little further solving the problem.

A prophet who deserves a little honor

nyone who cannot resist the temptation to offer public predictions about public events invites and can expect public ridicule.

Even pre-eminent 20th-century American columnist and public intellectual Walter Lippmann, who was courted by presidents and prime ministers, is regularly remembered for dismissing in print then-New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for being “no tribune of the people.” Lippmann wrote: “He is no enemy of entrenched privilege. He is a pleasant man who, without any important qualifications for the office, would very much like to be President.”

Of the man who would integrate baseball in 1947 and win Rookie of the Year honors and eventually go to the Baseball Hall of Fame, New York’s most famous sports columnist, Jimmy Cannon, wrote that Jackie Robinson was a baseball player of only “ordinary ability” who would “never make the grade,” calling Robinson just “a 1,000-to-one shot.”

In this company, my own confident — and very wrong — call in the early fall of 2004 that soon-to-be-elected President John Kerry would not run for re-election in 2008 may not look quite so bad as it really was.

Mark Shields Syndicated Columnist So rather than accentuate the negative about predictions, today it is time to celebrate a prophet who has not received anywhere near the honor he has earned. Not quite a year ago, this man, Dan Rottenberg of Philadelphia, whom I do not personally know, wrote, “As a financial journalist, I have followed Trump for more than 30 years — long before he aspired to the White House.” Based upon that experience, this now-75year-old author, editor and reporter made the following unequivocal predictions: “Trump will never release his tax returns. To do so would destroy his self-image as a successful businessman and generous philanthropist.

“Trump will never divest his businesses. They mean more to him than the presidency, because they’re central to his image and easier for him to control. (For that matter, Trump never really wanted to be president: As his first cam-

paign manager acknowledged, Trump got into the race to raise his profile and enhance the value of his brand.)

“He will never give up his children as advisors, because he views them as extensions of himself; consequently, they’re the only people he trusts. (As Garry Wills astutely noted before the election, Trump literally has no friends.)

“He will resist holding press conferences, which involve confronting hostile questions.

He will hold rallies instead, where he can bask in his supporters’ adulation.

“He won’t give up his Twitter account. For Trump, tweeting to his followers is not the means to some strategic end; it is the end. His need to vent transcends all else.”

The political prediction business is notorious about getting it wrong, especially when it comes to how a winning presidential candidate will act as president.

The author of these prescient insights about our then-newly inaugurated 45th president wrote them for the Broad Street Review. Rottenberg, according to his bio, has also worked for The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia magazine and the Chicago Journalism Review and has written

11 books, including the memoirs of one of Philadelphia’s most honorable political leaders, Thacher Longstreth.

In an update this past September, Rottenberg, who attributes Trump’s behavior to a psychological condition called narcissistic personality disorder, wrote: “In any given situation, Trump will take the action that makes waves or creates headlines, even if it makes no moral, political, or practical sense. How else to explain his withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, his decision to exclude transgender citizens from the military, his singular refusal to condemn with racists in Charlottesville, and his current attempt to deport 800,000 children of undocumented immigrants? From a narcissist’s perspective, how can you attract attention if you simply endorse conventional wisdom?”

The diagnosis may be from out of left field, but Rottenberg’s exceptional predictions of unpresidential behavior deserve a shoutout.

Shooting from the corner for a goal

Are you keeping up with the municipal elections, why or why not?

Sarah Brooks “Yes, I have seen candidates for the mayor are Del Jurney, Kintigh, and I saw Natasha Mackey’s photo in the paper. I am not judgemental. I wish them all the best of luck. I always keep up and plan to vote. Jurney did a good job while he was mayor. I plan to vote.”

Ernie Romero

“Not really. I don’t really get into city politics. I can tell you that I’m impressed with Kintigh for what he’s done.

A lot of people have been wanting something for the kids and he is the only mayor that stepped up. I know Mr. Jurney used to be a previous mayor. So I guess I do know a little bit about politics.”

NM state lawmaker seeks to block border wall

Norman Bair

“Not very much. Because I keep up with the national stuff pretty good — the state stuff some. Municipal, I just don’t. There’s no reason for it. That’s just my policy.”

The Associated Press Photo and Story

Santos Barraza

“I can’t vote anyways. I would if I could. You see, you’ve got the president of the United States, that’s for the nation, but here it’s just as important because this is local. It affects us more than anything, right? Just vote. It affects us more.”

Velma Henderson

“I always vote and I always work the polls — and I vote early. I was about to go by to find out if we were going to have polling stations or polling places. Everybody needs to vote. Get out and vote! They say it doesn’t do any good. If they say ‘I don’t vote’ — I say the only way you have a voice is to vote, so you get out there and vote.”

A New Mexico state lawmaker is seeking legislation to obstruct plans for a new border wall by the Trump administration.

Democratic Rep. Bill McCamley of Mesilla Park in southern New Mexico said Tuesday that he will introduce legislation that prohibits the use of state land in the construction of a new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed spending $18 billion over 10 years to significantly extend the border wall with Mexico. The New Mexico State Land Office oversees a patchwork of land holdings along the state’s southern border with Mexico.

Republican New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has discretion over whether McCamley’s proposal can be heard during a 30-day legislative session that begins Jan. 16, and it was unclear if she would allow it.

Longtime Associated Press executive James Donna dies at 71

By David Crary AP National Writer

James M. Donna, who over three decades served in an array of news and management posts with The Associated Press, died Wednesday after an illness of several weeks. He was 71.

Donna’s wife, Pat Lukaszewska, said the cause of death was kidney and liver failure.

Donna joined the AP at its Philadelphia bureau in 1973 after stints with Look magazine and the Reading Eagle newspaper in Pennsylvania.

He subsequently served in several posts at AP’s global headquarters in New York, including enterprise editor and New York City bureau chief.

He left the AP briefly in the early 1980s to work for Gamma Liaison news photo agency, then returned to serve in a diverse series of management jobs, including assistant to the president, vice president and secretary of the board of directors, director of human resources, and senior vice president of international business.

He retired from the AP in 2006.

Tom Curley, who was the AP’s president when Donna was human resources director, said Donna “brought a well-developed journalist’s sense of justice” to that role.

“He made sure everyone faced the facts and worked to make AP better,” Curley said in an email. “And he did it with determination and an infectious laugh.”

Lou Boccardi, Curley’s predecessor as president, said Donna “gave life

This undated photo shows James M. Donna of The Associated Press. Donna, who over three decades served in an array of news and management posts with the news organization, died Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2018 after an illness of several weeks, his wife said. He was 71. and meaning to the ‘human’ half of his title as director of human resources.”

“While we gave him difficult assignments throughout his career, I never heard anybody say they didn’t like him,” Boccardi said in an email. “He was a kind and caring and funda-

mentally joyful man whose loyalty was, always, to the people of the AP, even in the toughest moments.”

Brian Horton, who had a long career with the AP as a photographer and photo editor, recalled accompanying Donna on his first assignment after joining the Philadelphia bureau — covering the return of a released prisoner of war from Vietnam at Valley Forge Army Hospital.

“Jim filled up a notebook with information,” Horton recalled. “We were heading for the door when I asked him if he had called in a story yet. From the look on his face, I could tell that no one had told him about that part of being an AP reporter.”

Horton said Donna phoned the bureau and started slowly dictating his story while frantically leafing through the pages.

Donna’s work ended up becoming a couple of paragraphs at the top of an already-published story, Horton recalled. “I told him it would get easier and don’t try to do too much,” he said.

Donna was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and had a master’s degree in journalism from Penn State.

He and his wife, Pat Lukaszewska, lived in the Long Island town of Montauk, where he served on the Montauk Library’s strategic planning committee and volunteered at its book fair.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Peter; his daughter, Sarah; his son-in-law, Irving Fain; and his sister, Mary Ann Kelly.

Arizona man turned camera on injustices of Native Americans

By Felicia Fonseca Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — An Arizona man celebrated for the humanity that was showcased in his photographs of people across the Colorado Plateau and the world has died.

John Running died Sunday of complications from a brain tumor at his Flagstaff home, said his daughter, Raechel Running. He was 77.

His love of people, places and their cultures took him down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, to Mexico to photograph the Tarahumara and across the U.S. to highlight what he saw as injustices against Native Americans. He photographed children near the sea in Trinidad and honored another photographer with pictures of farmers, fishermen, homemakers and children in Scotland.

Running briefly aspired to be a geologist before pawning a 12-gauge shotgun his father gave him on his 12th birthday to buy a camera while working in the New Mexico oil fields. He honed photography while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, developing photos under the cover of a blanket in his bunk. He analyzed lunar

images with the U.S. Geological Survey, produced training films for astronauts and in 1967, won a photography contest in Flagstaff, where he had moved with his first wife, Helen. The two met while Running was stationed in Trinidad and had two children — Raechel and John Paul.

Throughout decades, Running mentored aspiring photographers at his downtown Flagstaff studio, which closed a few years ago. He was known for intimate portraits of Navajos and Hopis who were displaced from each other’s land in one of the largest relocation efforts in U.S. history. He saw a similar storyline in the Israel-Palestinian conflict and traveled there with Sue Bennett, a photographer who became his romantic partner, to document people’s lives.

Running’s photos also became album covers for Canyon Records, an independent label specializing in Native American music. Owner Robert Doyle said Running was the only photographer he would hire for more than 15 years because he was confident Running understood tribal culture and reservation life, he was generous and people felt comfortable around him.

Local newspapers play vital roles in communities across the globe. The Information Age has changed the way many people get their news, but local newspapers continue to serve as valuable resources for readers interested in learning more about and becoming more involved in their communities.

While local publishers continue to adapt to the changes brought about by technology, the following are a handful of benefits unique to local newspapers.

Local newspapers keep readers up-to-date on their own communities. Globalization may be here to stay, but that does not mean local communities are no longer home to newsworthy events. National and international newspapers and 24-hour cable news channels can keep men and women up-to-date on national and world news, but in many instances, local newspapers are the only means people have to learn about what's going on in their own communities. Local politics impact residents' lives every day, and local newspapers cover local politics extensively.

Local newspapers benefit nearby businesses. Small business owners often connect with community members via local newspapers. A strong, locally based small business community can improve economies in myriad ways, creating jobs in the community and contributing tax dollars that can be used to strengthen local schools and infrastructure. And local newspapers do their part by providing affordable and effective advertising space to local business owners looking to connect with their communities.

•

Local newspapers can strengthen communities. Local newspapers are great resources for residents who want to become more active in their communities and learn more about community events. Local newspapers often showcase community events like carnivals, local theater productions and projects like park cleanups. These are great ways for readers to become more active in their communities and build stronger communities as a result.

•

Local newspapers can benefit children. National newspapers may have little age-appropriate content to offer young children, but local newspapers tend to include more soft news items than national periodicals, and such stories typically are appropriate for young readers. According to Newspapers in Education, students who participated in an NIE group in Florida performed significantly better in spelling and vocabulary than nonreaders.

Additional studies have indicated that students who use newspapers in the classroom perform better on standardized reading tests than those who do not use newspapers in class.

Many local newspapers have played vital roles in their communities for decades, providing a go-to resource for local readers and business owners.

Despite the ominous forecasts projecting the demise of newspapers, many publications are still going strong and proving just how valuable a resource they can be.

Italy: Modigliani art exhibit found to be full of fakes

By Frances D’Emilio Associated Press ROME — Consumer advocates in Italy demanded refunds for ticketholders Wednesday after an expert concluded that almost all the paintings in a Genoa exhibition devoted to Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani were fakes.

The expert, appointed by a Genoa court as part of a prosecutor’s probe, determined that at least 20 of the 21 paintings displayed during the 2017 Ducal Palace exhibit were clearly forged, Italian news agency ANSA reported.

The palace shuttered the show in July, three days before the scheduled end of its four-month run, after prosecutors began investigating the doubts art experts had expressed over the authenticity of the paintings being attributed to Modigliani.

The palace, which had outsourced the show to private organizers, is itself seeking damages for the embarrassment caused by the episode.

Consumer advocate Furio Truzzi urged exhibition-goers Wednesday to seek refunds based on fraud. His organization set up a hotline for people who bought tickets or traveled to Genoa to see the show.

Noted Italian art collector Carlo Pepi, who was among the critics who questioned the provenance of the works displayed in Genoa, described the paintings as “garbage” in an interview on Italian state TV’s RaiNews24.

Consumer advocates are demanding refunds after an expert ruled that a Genoa exhibit was full of Modigliani fakes. The Italian news agency ANSA reported Tuesday that the expert, appointed by a Genoa court during a prosecutor’s probe, concluded that at least 20 of 21 paintings displayed in 2017 during the Ducal Palace exhibit were clearly fakes. as a painter and sculptor was distinguished by elongated necks and faces, died in poverty in Paris in 1920.

Modigliani fakes have caused embarrassment before in his native country. Three marble heads fished out of a canal in Leghorn during the 1980s were initially hailed as long-lost Modigliani masterpieces.

Instead, it turned out a trio of local students crafted the sculptures as a prank in 1984.

In closing down the exhibit in July, the Ducal Palace noted that it had outsourced the organization of the show, including the selection of the works to be displayed. The palace said it would “seek legal protection for its rights and public image.”

The owners of the paintings put on display in Genoa were likely to seek a counter-opinion from other experts, since actual works

worth millions of dollars.

The court-appointed expert, Isabella Quattrocchi, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Italian news reports said she concluded that, among other details, the pigment on the exhibited paintings wasn’t consistent with the kind Modigliani used.

Milan daily newspaper Corriere della Sera quoted one of the exhibit’s two curators Wednesday

defending his work and saying that he wasn’t the authenticator of the selected paintings.

“I gathered the information and the documentation that was supplied to me for every canvas,” curator Rudy Chiappini said. “If there have been irregularities, you need to go back to the source, to whoever made the first attribution” that Modigliani created the paintings.

“I, until proof to the con-

trary, remain of the idea that the artworks are good” ones, the newspaper quoted Chiappini as saying.

On the eve of the show’s March opening, Chiappini told The Associated Press: “Setting up an exhibition of Amedeo Modigliani is always a new adventure.”

“I believe that although he painted less than 300 paintings in his life, it’s always worth going through his career, starting from a new painting,” he added.

RHS girls basketball coach is ‘booked’ for life

By J.T. Keith Roswell Daily Record

Yes, it is true, smoothtalking Roswell girls basketball coach Fernando Sanchez has been arrested and given a life sentence in the game of love. Sanchez is married to an Artesia police officer.

Sanchez’ wife, Marcie, wasn’t always a police officer. In fact, when they met, Sanchez was a boys assistant basketball coach at Western New Mexico University.

Sanchez was in his third year as a coach and was on a recruiting trip in El Paso, Texas, when he and his fellow coaches went out dancing that evening at Grahams Central Station to blow off steam. A chance encounter turned into them dancing and talking the night away.

Sanchez knew he was taken when he drove three hours to practice the next morning in Silver City.

Sanchez returned to El Paso that night to take her to dinner.

“We started talking,” Sanchez said. “We were pretty smitten with each other. After dating for four years and being married 10 years and four kids later, we’re still going strong.”

Sanchez decided it was time to advance his career. He left his assistant coaching job at Western to take the head job at Santa Teresa High School to move closer to Marcie. Once married, Marcie was a stay-at-home mom for the first eight years of their marriage. One day, his wife came home and told him that she wants to be a police officer.

“She just came home after our 8-year-old was born and said, ‘I think I want to be a police officer,’” Sanchez said. “She went from a stay-at-home housewife to a police offi-

Both partners feel like the dangers of her job are inherent, but Fernando wanted Marcie to follow her heart and do what she feels called to do. Coaching basketball is what drives Fernando to get up in the morning, and he wanted his wife to feel as fulfilled.

“I get to do what I’m passionate about,” Fernando said. “I love coaching and teaching and working with kids. She has always been drawn to police work. One day, she just decided and two

weeks later she was taking the paperwork, and taking a physical training test to become a police officer.”

Marcie passed the background test and qualified to go to the Academy for six months of training. At the time, Fernando was coaching and teaching at Alamogordo High School.

Often, they work different schedules, but both of them find a time to make it work with four children.

It is easier for Fernando because of his children: Delainy, 15, is a sophomore on the junior varsity basketball team for Roswell. Nicolas, 12, is

a sixth-grader at Mountain View Middle School, and Dominic, 8, is a third-grader at Monterrey Elementary. He has a new baby boy, Maximus, that is three-months-old.

Fernando worries about Marcie and all police officers because each time they say goodbye it could be their last time. Marcie has put in 22-hour days working a case.

“I worry about every police officer,” Fernando said. “There is so much violence around the world right now, whether you’re an innocent bystander, or your house gets broken

into, or you accidentally get shot. I think about it every time I go to kiss my wife goodbye, that she is going to work, and that she has a gun and she needs it.”

Fern an do recalls on Sept. 2, 2016, his wife was on the police force in Alamogordo when fellow officer Clint Corvinus was shot and killed near a trailer park in Alamogordo.

“Marcie being a police officer put a lot of things into perspective,” Fernando said. “What I realize is it’s a privilege to be out here with the kids playing basketball. We put a lot

of stress in this, and we see a lot of fans out here and they get into it. I push these kids as hard as I can to pull the best out of them. In the long run, this is a fun job. My wife does some stuff that I’m proud of. I’m proud of anyone who goes into law enforcement, military, EMS, or fire department.”

The Sanchezes just bought a house in Roswell. He plans on coaching at Roswell for a long time.

Marcie has been hired by the Artesia Police Department.

Artesia improves to 10-4 as they crush Chaparral

By Mike Smith Roswell Daily Record

ARTESIA — Despite defeating the Chaparral Lobos (3-11) Tuesday night 65-34, Artesia (10-4) Head Coach Michael Mondragon said the Bulldogs could have played better.

“It’s hard whenever you have a team coming in that’s kind of sloppy, we’ve got to do a better job of understanding and we need to play the best of our abilities at all times, instead of playing to our competition at times,” Mon-

dragon said.

Mondragon added, “overall I’m pleased, we continue to guard pretty well and we held them and we’re playing team ball, still need to do a better job on defense at times and on offense we need to execute a little bit better.”

At the start of the season, Mondragon was wondering what his team would be like. A majority of them were playing football as the Bulldogs were getting ready to claim title no. 30.

Does Mondragon think the team has hit its stride?

“We’re getting there,” he said. “We’re not quite in shape yet, we’re about 80 to 85 percent there shape wise,” he said.

“We’re still learning, what’s the hardest about the football guys coming over, is if you think about it, teams start in November and they have that whole time to learn the offense and learn each other. We’ve been together almost a month now, so we’re still a little bit behind as far as the learning curve. But, we’re getting there.”

Mondragon said the Bulldogs have a couple weeks before dis-

trict play starts later this month to hit that stride.

Now that the Bulldogs have the first game out of the way this week, they now focus on a road trip to Los Alamos and Albuquerque.

“First, we gotta take care of business with Los Alamos, we gotta make sure we take care of the ball,” Mondragon said.

He said Artesia will, “try and push the tempo a little bit, because their not quite as deep as we are and then of course Del Norte, they’re athletic.”

Mondragon said the Knights 5-9 record is misleading, “they’re athletic, they’re strong and they’ve got some kids that can get up and down the floor.”

Mondragon said Artesia will need to focus on their game in order to come away with wins up north.

“Do the things that have been helping us be successful, defend, take care of the ball and execute on offense. We do those things and we’ll be fine.”

Cadets For a Cure

During a halftime ceremony at the Bronco basketball team’s previous home game vs. Odessa on Jan. 8, the NMMI ‘Cadets For A Cure’ Campaign presented a check to the Chaves County Cancer Fund totaling $3,321.41.

The campaign is a yearlong series of events and activities, organized by Institute cadets, designed to help raise both money and awareness for all types of cancer.

Last spring, the cadets held a ‘March for Cancer’.

This fall, the cadets held a variety of activities during several home NMMI athletic events, including dunk tanks, pie-in-the face booths, balloon launches, and sales of t-shirts and bracelets.

The Chaves County Cancer Fund is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 to “provide caring support and financial assistance to Chaves County community members and their families as they go through cancer treat-

ment.”

“It was a successful campaign, especially for the first year,” said head Colt football coach Randy Montoya, one of several staff liaisons helping out this year’s campaign. “Being new, I thought everything went very well,” he continued. “The cadets did a great job and we had a lot of support from the faculty, staff and our coaches. It was just a good team effort, everyone pitching in and pulling together for a great cause.”

When asked if this will become an annual activity, Montoya nodded in the affirmative. “Any time we can help out of local community, it’s a plus for both us and them,” explained the coach. “We’re going to try and make this a yearly event and have already been talking about what we can improve on for next year – things like getting more people involved – hopefully growing each and every year.”

Sanchez Continued from Page B1

Fernando went to Western New Mexico University where he played for a year. This is his 20th year in coaching. He is in his second year on the bench here. Prior to that, he was the head coach of Alamogordo (2010-16) girls for five seasons. Before that, he spent a year as the boys coach of Silver High School (2007-08), and then was at Santa Teresa (2005-07) for three years as boys coach.

“The boys play above the rim,” Sanchez said. “When it comes to working, girls work just as hard as the boys do. I enjoy the way the girls interact with each other. I think if you can get the girls to buy into your program, they’re going to give you a little more than the guys sometimes.”

Having coached both boys and girls basketball teams, Fernando feels the differences

between the two sexes is minimal. The main difference is the physical nature of the boys playing the game above the rim. Sanchez believes the girls are more fundamentally sound in the basics of the game. Offenses and defensive sets are the same for both, there is not just an offense for boys and one for girls.

“I think the pressure to win is the same everywhere,” he said. “I think the expectation here is a little different. I think the personal expectation of the kids and the teams.

We’re here to compete and win. Here, we’re going to win district, and we’re going to get into state playoffs. At Alamogordo, I thought we were building that.”

Roswell is looking forward to turning around their 6-11 season, with two games left before district play. The girls play at the Coyote Den against Fernando’s old team, Santa Teresa, at 5:30 p.m. Jan.19.

Jackson’s career high lifts Lobos past Wyoming

By Glen Rosales Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE — Antino Jackson had a careerhigh 20 points and Joe Furstinger added a double-double as New Mexico overcame a sloppy performance to beat Wyoming 75-66 Wednesday.

The game turned at the start of the second half when Jackson scored the

first eight points for New Mexico (8-10, 3-2 Mountain West) followed by a 3-pointer from Anthony Mathis for an 11-0 run that put the Lobos up 38-32. New Mexico was able to hold the lead the rest of the way, despite turning it over 20 times.

Justin James scored a career-high 31 for the Cowboys (11-6, 2-2), but he was the only Wyoming

player in double digits.

New Mexico got scoring from just five players, but four of them finished in double digits with Furstinger scoring 17 with 10 boards and Makuach Maluach adding 17 points.

BIG PICTURE

Wyoming has yet to win on the road in conference, dropping to 0-2. The Cowboys have lost five straight

road games overall.

New Mexico’s win keeps it perfect at home during conference play at 3-0 and moves it into fourth place in the Mountain West.

It is the Lobos’ first win over a team with a winning record since beating Evansville Nov. 29.

SIDELINES

James showed little wear from taking a knee

to the groin area in Wyoming’s previous game against Boise State, scoring the Cowboys first seven points. Wyoming forward Jordan Naughton missed his third straight game with an injured back.

New Mexico leading scorer Sam Logwood missed his second game with an arm injury. Guard Troy Simons, who missed

the last game with a conference-mandated suspension for twice being ejected for double technicals, also sat out Wednesday at Weir’s discretion.

UP NEXT

Wyoming is next at home Saturday against Colorado State.

New Mexico next travels to Fresno State on Saturday.

WWE wants UFC star Rousey to jump from octagon to ring

By Dan Gelston AP Sports Writer

UFC star Ronda Rousey’s next fight could come in a WWE ring.

WWE executive Paul Levesque, better known as wrestling superstar Triple H, had dinner with Rousey in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, again fueling speculation that UFC’s biggest female star could leave the octagon for a career in sports entertainment.

“We are talking to Ronda, as we’ve been for a while,” Levesque told The Associated Press by phone on Wednesday. “She has a lot of things going on. We have a lot of things going on. But we have a great relationship with her, a very friendly standpoint for a long period of time now. It was great to catch up with her.”

Rousey, once the most dominant fighter in mixed martial arts, has not competed since she suffered a 48-second loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December 2016. Rousey (12-2) lost two straight bouts in 13 months and took a hiatus that saw her branch out into other forms of entertainment.

Rousey, who adopted the “Rowdy” nickname from WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, is a big wrestling fan as made guest appearances at WWE events. She notably stood side-by-side with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as they fought off the villainous Triple H and his

The Rock raised Rousey’s arm in celebration at the end of the segment held at WrestleMania in 2015.

Rousey has since appeared in the stands at events for WWE’s developmental system, NXT. Rousey and fellow UFC fighters Marina Shafir,

Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke were known as the Four Horsewomen — a tribute to the nefarious Ric Flair-led Four Horsemen stable of the

1980s and ‘90s. Baszler has signed with WWE and wrestles in NXT. The WWE recently announced it will hold its first women’s Royal Rum-

ble match (an over-thetop-rope battle royale) at the Jan. 28 Royal Rumble pay-per-view in Philadelphia. The match would be a splendid time to showcase Rousey in her WWE debut if she can break free from her film commitments.

Rousey could also lead her Horsewomen against a WWE faction at WrestleMania on April 8.

Or, it could just be buzz designed to keep Rousey in the news and give the WWE a publicity boost as it heads toward its biggest four-month stretch of the year.

“We have nothing to announce at this time,” Levesque said. “But she’s a huge fan of what we do and she’s incredibly interested in what we do and the opportunities that lie there. We’re fans of hers and incredibly interested in what those opportunities could be with us.

But there’s a lot of things to walk through. We’re talking. We’re having conversations.”

UFC President Dana White was on vacation and unavailable for comment.

Levesque was in Los Angeles to speak on a Television Critics Association panel.

Rousey refused to comment when approached by TMZ, only saying, “I enjoy fine dining.”

But it’s clear that the Rousey-wrestling connection appeals to WWE. “I’d love it,” Levesque said.

Advocacy group asks whether Raiders followed Rooney Rule

By Josh Dubow AP Pro Football Writer ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Fritz Pollard Alliance called Wednesday for the NFL to investigate whether the Oakland Raiders violated the “Rooney Rule” when they hired Jon Gruden as coach.

Fritz Pollard Alliance counsel Cyrus Mehri and N. Jeremi Duru said they were concerned that Raiders owner Mark Davis came to an agreement with Gruden before the team interviewed any minority candidates as required by the NFL since 2003.

“As soon as we learned of the reports, we formally requested that the NFL thoroughly investigate the matter to conclusively determine whether the Rooney Rule was violated — and if it was violated, to impose an appropriate punishment,” they said.

The Fritz Pollard Alliance is dedicated to promoting diversity and equality of job opportunity in the coaching, front office and scouting staffs of NFL teams.

Davis said Tuesday

Oakland Raiders new head coach Jon Gruden, right, smiles as he listens to a question from former Raiders player Charles Woodson, as he sits next to owner Mark Davis during an NFL football press conference Tuesday in Alameda, Calif. at the news conference introducing Gruden as the team’s new coach that he had been trying

to make the move for six years and finally believed it would happen after a meeting in Philadel-

phia on Christmas Eve, the day before Gruden worked a game between the Raiders and Eagles on

ESPN. “I felt pretty confident that he was all-in,” Davis said. “And that’s the term

that we were using in our discussions and everything, are you all-in?

And I never wavered from all-in. And this time he didn’t waver, either.”

Davis fired Jack Del Rio a week later and the team officially hired Gruden on Jan. 6. Davis also said he wouldn’t have fired Del Rio if he didn’t believe Gruden would sign on as coach.

“I believe that I would’ve sat down with Jack and we would’ve figured out coordinators and assistant coaches and things like that and try to figure out how to re-invigorate the franchise through Jack,” he said.

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said Tuesday he interviewed two minority candidates before Gruden’s hiring was announced. Those candidates were Oakland tight ends coach Bobby Johnson and Southern California offensive coordinator Tee Martin.

The Raiders and the NFL had no immediate comment Wednesday night on the request from the Fritz Pollard Alliance.

China’s modern Silk Road hits hurdles

By Joe McDonald, Munir Ahmed and Sylivester Domasa Associated Press

BEIJING — China’s plan for a modern Silk Road of railways, ports and other facilities linking Asia with Europe hit a $14 billion pothole in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s relations with Beijing are so close that officials call China their “Iron Brother.” Despite that, plans for the Diamer-Bhasha Dam were thrown into turmoil in November when the chairman of Pakistan’s water authority said Beijing wanted an ownership stake in the hydropower project.

He rejected that as against Pakistani interests.

China issued a denial but the official withdrew the dam from among dozens of projects being jointly developed by the two countries.

From Pakistan to Tanzania to Hungary, projects under President Xi Jinping’s signature “Belt and Road Initiative” are being canceled, renegotiated or delayed due to disputes about costs or complaints host countries get too little out of projects built by Chinese companies and financed by loans from Beijing that must be repaid.

In some areas, Beijing is suffering a political backlash due to fears of domination by Asia’s biggest economy.

“Pakistan is one of the countries that is in China’s hip pocket, and for Pakistan to stand up and say, ‘I’m not going to do this with you,’ shows it’s not as ‘win-win’ as China says it is,” said Robert Koepp, an analyst in Hong Kong for the Economist Corporate Network, a research firm.

“Belt and Road,” announced by Xi in 2013, is a loosely defined umbrella for Chinese-built or -financed projects across 65 countries from the South Pacific through Asia to Africa and Europe. They range from oil drilling in Siberia to construction of ports in Southeast Asia, railways in Eastern Europe and power plants in the Middle East.

Other governments welcomed the initiative in a region the Asian Development Bank says needs

In this April 2016 file photo, former Pakistan’s Army Chief General Raheel Sharif addresses the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) seminar in Gwadar, Pakistan. From Pakistan to Tanzania to Hungary, projects under Chinese President Xi Jinping’s signature “Belt and Road Initiative” are being canceled, renegotiated or delayed due to disputes about costs or complaints host countries get too little out of projects built by Chinese companies and financed by loans from Beijing that must be repaid. more than $26 trillion of infrastructure investment by 2030 to keep economies growing. Nations including Japan have given or lent billions of dollars for development, but China’s venture is bigger and the only source of money for many projects.

Governments from Washington to Moscow to New Delhi are uneasy Beijing is trying to use its “Belt and Road” to develop a China-centered political structure that will erode their influence.

China’s significance to Pakistan as a source of financing increased following U.S. President Donald Trump’s Jan. 5 decision to suspend security assistance to Islamabad in a dispute over whether it was doing enough to stop Afghan militants.

“Belt and Road” is a business venture, not aid. A Cabinet official, Ou Xiaoli, told The Associated Press in April that lending will be on commercial terms. Beijing wants to attract non-Chi-

nese investors, though that has happened with only a handful of projects, he said.

Among projects that have been derailed or disrupted: —Authorities in Nepal canceled plans in November for Chinese companies to build a $2.5 billion dam after they concluded contracts for the Budhi Gandaki Hydro Electric Project violated rules requiring multiple bidders.

—The European Union is looking into whether Hungary violated the trade bloc’s rules by awarding contracts to Chinese builders of a high-speed railway to neighboring Serbia without competing bids.

—In Myanmar, plans for a Chinese oil company to build a $3 billion refinery were canceled in November due to financing difficulties, the newspaper Myanmar Times reported.

There is no official list of projects, but consulting firm BMI Research has compiled a database of $1.8 trillion of infrastructure investments announced

across Asia, Africa and the Middle East that include Chinese money or other involvement.

Many are still in planning stages and some up to three decades in the future, according to Christian Zhang, a BMI analyst.

“It’s probably too early to say at this point how much of the overall initiative will actually be implemented,” said Zhang.

The U.S. and Japanese governments express interest in building contracts or other potential “Belt and Road” opportunities for their companies. But they also are trying to develop alternative initiatives.

In November, the U.S. government’s Overseas Private Investment Corp. signed an agreement with Japanese partners to offer “infrastructure investment alternatives in the Indo-Pacific region,” according to a White House statement.

The following month, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Japan can “cooperate greatly” with China.

The stumbles for one of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure ventures could help temper concerns Beijing will increase its strategic influence.

“There is a big possibility that China is going to have a lot of disagreements and misunderstandings,” said Kerry Brown, a specialist in Chinese politics at King’s College London. “It’s hard to think of a big, successful project the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ has led to at the moment.”

Even Pakistan, one of China’s friendliest neighbors, has failed to agree on key projects.

The two governments are developing facilities with a total cost of $60 billion including power plants and railways to link China’s far west with the Chinese-built port of Gwadar on the Indian Ocean.

A visit by a Chinese assistant foreign minister in November produced no agreement on railway projects in the southern city of Karachi valued at $10 billion and a $260 million air-

port for Gwadar.

The same month, the chairman of the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority announced the Diamer-Bhasha Dam would be withdrawn from joint development. The site is in Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan’s far north, part of the Kashmir region, which also is claimed by India.

“Chinese conditions for financing the Diamer-Bhasha Dam were not doable and against our interests,” the official, Muzammil Hussain, told legislators, according to Pakistani news reports.

The Chinese Cabinet agency overseeing “Belt and Road,” the National Development and Reform Commission, denied in a written statement that it asked for an ownership stake. It said the two sides had held only preliminary talks about the project.

A Pakistani Cabinet official who spoke on condition he not be identified further said the Chinese side asked for clarification of the ownership status of the dam site because Gilgit-Baltistan has yet to be formally made part of a Pakistani province.

The water authority didn’t respond to requests to clarify its chairman’s comments.

“Belt and Road” is interwoven with official efforts to export Chinese rail, hydropower and other technology and steel, aluminum and other industrial goods.

In Thailand, work on a $15 billion high-speed railway was suspended in 2016 following complaints too little business went to Thai companies.

After more talks over costs, technology sharing and land ownership, Thai leaders announced a new plan in July for a first line to be built from Bangkok to the country’s northeast.

Building contracts went to Thai companies while China will supply technology.

In Tanzania, the government has reopened negotiations with China and another investor, the government of the gulf nation of Oman, over ownership of

a planned $11 billion port in the city of Bagamoyo.

The Tanzanian government failed to raise $28 million for its contribution, leaving it unclear what share the government might get.

Tanzania wants to make sure its people get more than just taxes collected from the port, said the director of the Tanzania Ports Authority, Deusdedit Kakoko.

“Land is for Tanzanians, and as the government we’re ensuring they get a share,” Kakoko said in an interview.

Despite such setbacks, Chinese officials say most “Belt and Road” projects are moving ahead with few problems.

Work on pipelines to deliver oil and gas from Russia and Central Asia is making “steady progress,” said a deputy commerce minister, Li Chenggang, at a Nov. 21 news conference.

“We have a lot of room for further cooperation,” said Li. The state-run China Development Bank announced in 2015 it had set aside $890 billion for more than 900 projects across 60 countries in gas, minerals, power, telecoms, infrastructure and farming.

The Export-Import Bank of China said it would finance 1,000 projects in 49 countries.

Acting as banker gives Beijing leverage to require use of Chinese builders and technology. But it can lead to complaints host countries fail to negotiate hard enough.

In Sri Lanka, the government sold an 80 percent stake in a port in the southern city of Hambantota to a Chinese state-owned company on Dec. 9 after falling behind in repaying $1.5 billion borrowed from Beijing to build it. That prompted complaints the deal was too favorable to Beijing.

“There is the perception of a Chinese incursion into their sovereignty by taking over the port,” said BMI’s Zhang.

Malaysia to pay US firm up to $70M if it finds missing plane

By Eileen Ng Associated Press

PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia — Malaysia’s government said Wednesday it will pay U.S. company Ocean Infinity up to $70 million if it can find the wreckage or black boxes of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 within three months, in a renewed bid to solve the plane’s disappearance nearly four years ago.

Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said there was an 85 percent chance of finding the debris in a new 25,000 square kilometer (9,650 square mile) area — roughly the size of Vermont — identified by experts.

The government signed a “no cure, no fee” deal with the Houston, Texas-based company to

resume the hunt for the plane, a year after the official search by Malaysia, Australia and China in the southern Indian Ocean was called off. The plane vanished on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

“The primary mission by Ocean Infinity is to identify the location of the wreckage and/or both of the flight recorders ... and present a considerable and credible evidence to confirm the exact location of the two main items,” he told a news conference. If the mission is successful within three months, payment will be made based on the size of the area searched. Liow said the government will pay Ocean Infinity $20 million for 5,000 square kilometers (1,930 square

mile) of a successful search, $30 million for 15,000 square kilometers (5,790 sq. miles), $50 million for 25,000 square kilometers (9653 sq. miles) and $70 million if the plane or recorders are found beyond the identified area.

Ocean Infinity Chief Executive Oliver Plunkett said the search vessel Seabed Constuctor, which left the South African port of Durban last week, is expected to reach the southern Indian Ocean

by Jan. 17 to begin the hunt.

He said eight autonomous underwater vehicles, which are drones fitted with high-tech cameras, sonars and sensors, will be dispatched to map the seabed at a faster pace. Plunkett said the underwater drones can cover 1,200 square kilometers (463 sq.

miles) a day and complete the 25,000 square kilometers within a month.

“We have a realistic prospect of finding it,” he said. “While there can be no guarantees of locating the aircraft, we believe our system of multiple autonomous vehicles working simultaneously is well suited to the task at hand.”

The official search was extremely difficult because no transmissions were received from the aircraft after its first 38 minutes of flight.

Systems designed to automatically transmit the flight’s position failed to work after this point, said a final report from Australian Transport Safety Board last January.

“I feel very happy but at the same time very panicky whether it can be found or not. Now it’s

back to four years ago where we have to wait everyday (to find out) whether debris can be found,” said Shin Kok Chau, whose wife Tan Ser Kuin was a flight attendant on MH370. Underwater wreck hunter David Mearns said the new search takes into account oceanographic models used to drastically narrow the possible locations of the crash and deploys state-of-the art underwater vehicles that will allow the company to cover far more seabed at a faster pace.

“There are no guarantees in a search of this type. However, notwithstanding that uncertainty, this upcoming search is the best chance yet that the aircraft wreckage will be found,” said Mearns, director of Blue Water Recoveries Ltd.

Immigration agents descend on 7-Eleven stores

By Elliot Spagat and Nomaan Merchant Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Seven immigration agents filed into a 7-Eleven store before dawn Wednesday, waited for people to go through the checkout line and told arriving customers and a driver delivering beer to wait outside. A federal inspection was underway, they said.

Within 20 minutes, they verified that the cashier had a valid green card and served notice on the owner to produce hiring records in three days that deal with employees’ immigration status.

The well-rehearsed scene, executed with quiet efficiency in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, played out at about 100 7-Eleven stores in 17 states and the District of Columbia, a rolling operation that officials called the largest immigration action against an employer under Donald Trump’s presidency.

The employment audits and interviews with store workers could lead to criminal charges or fines.

And they appeared to open a new front in Trump’s expansion of immigration enforcement, which has already brought a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and pledges to spend billions of dollars on a border wall with Mexico.

A top official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the audits were “the first of many” and “a harbinger of what’s to come” for employers.

“This is what we’re gearing up for this year and what you’re going to see more and more of is these large-scale compliance inspections, just for starters,” said Derek Benner, acting head of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations, which oversees cases against employers.

“It’s not going to be limited to large companies or any particular industry — big, medium and small,” he said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents serve an employment audit notice at a 7-Eleven convenience store Wednesday in Los Angeles. Agents said they targeted about 100 7-Eleven stores nationwide Wednesday to open employment audits and interview workers. officials plan to look at whether the cases warrant administrative action or criminal investigations, Benner told The Associated Press.

7-Eleven Stores Inc., based in Irving, Texas, said in a statement that the owners of its franchises are responsible for hiring and verifying work eligibility. The chain with more than 8,600 convenience stores in the U.S. said it has previously ended franchise agreements for owners convicted of breaking employment laws.

Unlike other enforcement efforts that have marked Trump’s first year in office, Wednesday’s actions were aimed squarely at store owners and managers, though 21 workers across the coun-

try were arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally.

Illegal hiring is rarely prosecuted, partly because investigations are time-consuming and convictions are difficult to achieve because employers can claim they were duped by fraudulent documents or intermediaries.

Administrative fines are discounted by some as a business cost.

Amy Peck, an Omaha, Nebraska, immigration attorney who represents businesses, said an employer crackdown will never work because the government has limited resources and there are many jobs that people who are in the country legally do not want.

“When these audits occur, the employees

scatter in the wind and go down the street and work for somebody else,” Peck said. “You’re playing whack-a-mole.”

President George W. Bush’s administration pursued high-profile criminal investigations against employers in its final years with dramatic predawn shows of force and large numbers of worker arrests. In 2008, agents arrived by helicopter at the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa, and detained nearly 400 workers. Last month, Trump commuted the 27-year prison sentence of Sholom Rubashkin, former chief executive of what was the nation’s largest kosher meatpacking operation.

Barack Obama’s administration more than doubled employer audits

tities to employ at least 115 people in the country illegally, knowing they could pay below minimum wage, according to court documents.

Neither 7-Eleven nor was its parent company, Seven & I Holding Co. based in Tokyo, was charged in the case.

Julie Myers Wood, former head of ICE during the Bush administration, said the most recent inspections showed that immigration officials were focusing on a repeat violator. Part of the problem, Wood said, is the lack of “a consistent signal” between administrations that the U.S. government will prosecute employers who hire immigrants without legal status.

Some immigration hardliners have been pressing Trump to move against employers. Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said the inspections offered “a good sign” that the administration was serious about going after employers. But, he said, the administration would need to go beyond audits.

“It’s important for Trump to show that they’re not just arresting the hapless schmo from Honduras but also but also the politically powerful American employer,” he said.

In Koreatown, agents gathered in a grocery store parking lot and drove through side streets in unmarked cars to their target location.

The manager was in Bangladesh and the owner, reached by phone, told the clerk to accept whatever documents were served. The clerk told agents he had no knowledge of documents required to prove eligibility to work and was asked to pass along brochures for voluntary programs aimed at better compliance with immigration laws.

John Sandweg, an acting ICE director under Obama, said significant fines instilled fear in employers and avoided draining resources from other enforcement priorities, which include child exploitation, human trafficking and money laundering.

Wednesday’s audits arose from a 2013 investigation that resulted in charges against nine 7-Eleven franchisees and managers in New York and Virginia. Eight have pleaded guilty and were ordered to pay more than $2.6 million in back wages, and the ninth was arrested in November.

The managers used more than 25 stolen iden-

B6 Thursday, January 11, 2018 Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My 18-year-old granddaughter ran away twice last year. She’s now living with her boyfriend and refuses to have any contact with her dad. I know my son is very strict, and I’m pretty sure she could just no longer live by his rules. Her mom passed away eight months ago, and my son is all she has besides her sister.

She opened a Facebook page. I was able to write to her a couple of times and she responded. She isn’t answering my messages now. I suspect her boyfriend is controlling and is preventing her from contacting her family.

I’m also afraid she may be involved with drugs now.

She and the boyfriend were recently arrested for shoplifting, and this just isn’t typical of my granddaughter.

I have trouble sleeping at night worrying about her.

I know she’s an adult, but I don’t want her to give up on her family who loves her. Do

Comics you have any suggestions?

Should I go to the house and try and see her, or must we just sit back and wait for her to grow up? Any advice will be appreciated.

WORRIED NANA DEAR WORRIED NANA: Do not just sit back. By all means, visit your granddaughter! She needs to know you love her and will be supportive if things don’t work out with her boyfriend.

Because she’s 18 and now considered an adult, you can’t force her to reunite with her father, whose heavy-handed parenting may or may not be the reason she left home. But you can, however, point out that if she needs something, there are better ways to go about acquiring it than shoplifting.

You should also encourage her to find a job. If she does, it will increase her independence, not only from her father, but also her boyfriend, if it becomes necessary.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: I was recently diagnosed with a stage four cancer. My surgeon has offered me an opportunity to be part of a clinical trial, which my fam-

ily is aware of. They do not, however, know the details of how far the cancer has spread.

The prognosis for patients in this trial is about two more years. My wife thinks I should share this information with my extended family and friends immediately (although there are few signs that I’m ill). I prefer to remain silent until the disease catches up with me and my time gets closer. Your advice or reader response would be greatly appreciated regarding this very emotional decision.

KEEPING IT TO MYSELF DEAR KEEPING IT: I’m sorry about your diagnosis. I’m sure when your letter is published there will be a tsunami of reactions — both pro and con — from readers.

Of course your wishes should be respected, but since you asked, I am inclined to agree with your wife. Your illness affects not only you but also the rest of your family and friends.

If you reveal your prognosis now, it will give the people who love you an opportunity to step up to the plate and offer emotional support, not only to you, but also to her and your family.

Roswell Daily Record Hints from

Heloise King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: We’ve become better at recycling, reusing and repurposing items, and keeping them out of the landfill, but we can always do more.

Here are some eye-opening stats on the time it takes trash to decompose in the environment, according to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services website (des.nh.gov): • Paper towel — two to four weeks • Plastic bag — 10-20 years • Aluminum can — 80-200 years • Disposable diaper — 450 years • Plastic bottle — 450 years • Glass bottle — 1 million years Plastic never fully breaks down; it just gets smaller and smaller, and it can always pose a threat to wildlife. This is especially

Jacqueline Bigar

true with the plastic sixring holders for soft drinks and other items. Please, cut the rings before putting them in the recycle bin or trash.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: During the winter months, I turn on my hot water first thing to brush my teeth. By the time I finish brushing, the water is warm enough to wash my face. This way, I don’t waste water or have to use ice-cold water to wash my face.

Vicky C., Fargo, N.D. HHHHH Dear Heloise: I have a hard time swallowing pills. I’ve found that the use of a straw helps greatly. I put the pill in my mouth, suck up enough liquid to swallow, then do it! This makes it easier for me.

E.L.Y., Villa Park, Calif.

Dear Reader: Also, take a sip of water before taking the pill, then a big gulp after. An old hint, but still true, is to use

Beetle Bailey

Your Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your vision of what is possible stems from your high energy. You might decide to launch an entrepreneurial idea or push a project in a new direction. Others could be skeptical of your vision, but you have the follow-through that is needed. Tonight: Indulge a favorite person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You don’t need to do anything but be present in the moment.

Others seek you out. No matter what is presented to you, you are likely to have many new ideas or slants on ideas that you have not yet thought of. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation from a favorite person.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be sorry that you started a conversation about a personal issue. Sometimes, you don’t want to hear opinions from those who are clearly not informed. Avoid someone else’s lecturing style if you can.

Tonight: Off to the gym to strengthen your body, mind and spirit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH A loved one seems to motivate you to get going. Whether a mood is dragging you down or an interaction with a friend is uncomfortable, know that things still can turn in your favor.

It will be key to leave an opening for that transformation. Tonight: Start the weekend early, if you can.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Investigate what is happening on the homefront. You could be overwhelmed with what someone else is asking of you. Be as direct as possible when responding. Make it OK to say “no” once in a while. You can’t always come up with the right answer.

Tonight: Think “weekend.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You have been known to become fussy and critical. Try to avoid that pitfall as you expand your horizons and meet new people who are different from your norm. Be open to other lifestyles and different modes of thinking.

You have what it takes. Tonight: Survey the scene.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be more aware of your financial situation, but do not allow the matter to prevent you from loving and living life to the fullest. You could see a change as mandatory, which might put the kibosh on your fun. Stay lighthearted and easygoing. Tonight: Make sure you are not alone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH With the Moon in your sign, you might be hard to contain. You don’t always make the best decisions or always head in the right direction, but right now you know exactly which way to go and when. Be more forthright in how you deal with others.

Tonight: You call the shots.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You sense that more is going on behind the scenes than you are aware.

Stop and consider what is holding you back from finding out more information. Observe more, and see what comes up. Your sixth sense is likely to emerge. Tonight: Listen to rumors, but do not take them as facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You have very little to lose if you focus on your priorities. You have many ideas that drive you in a certain direction. You feel fortunate that so much activity is whirling around you. A friend could be instrumental in making an important decision.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might notice that many of your associates are dealing with tempests in their teacups. As a result, they could have difficulty relating to anything but what is happening around them. You might need to cover some projects for others. Tonight: A must appearance pays off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Read between the lines with a loved one at a distance or with someone who tends to be quite withdrawn. You might not be right in your assumption, so ask questions if need be. Just be aware of the vibes coming off others. Be open to hearing the real story. Tonight: See a movie.

a spoonful of applesauce.

Put the pill in the applesauce and then swallow it.

This really makes the pill go down easier. Sit or stand up straight, too. If the pills are large, ask your doctor or pharmacist if they can be crushed or cut in half to make taking them easier.

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: In a one-bedroom apartment, space is at a premium. I use a twin-sized bed, and this makes more room in the bedroom. I push the bed up against one wall, and it opens up the room.

Helga G. in New York HHHHH Dear Heloise: I buy pints of milk in glass bottles. Here are my hints for reusing them: I fill one with sand and use it as a doorstop. I put a bit of sand in several, put the cap back on and use them as bowling pins for youngsters. Let kids decorate them for banks to encourage them to save money. I fill one with coins for a gift.
