Man accused of 2013 murder found not guilty o Family, prosecutors struck with disappointment

By Trevier Gonzalez Roswell Daily Record After less than an hour and a half of deliberation, the 12-person jury reached a verdict for the State of New Mexico v. Steve Guardado trial Wednesday evening.

Gasps erupted from the Vargas family in the District Courtroom in Roswell as 5th District Judge Freddie J. Romero read that Guardado was found not guilty of first-degree murder.

“And y’all call this justice? Justice for all?” A family member of Stoarmy Joel Vargas questioned as she walked out of the courtroom.

“He’s going to kill again.”

Gary Mitchell, Guardado’s defense attorney, simply said the jury “did the right thing.”

“I’m pleased. Very, very pleased,” Mitchell told the Daily Record. “And I thank them.”

Guardado, who had been accused of murdering Vargas on Oct. 25, 2013, allegedly in retaliation after losing his friend, Victor Oaxaca just two days earlier through the means of a separate homicide, was acquitted of the felony charge and was set to be released.

Deputy district attorneys Michael Thomas and Kristen Cartwright declined to

comment.

Final testimonies

Earlier Wednesday morning and before the jury arrived at a verdict, the Roswell Police Department’s Albert Aldana sat at the stand, prepared for additional questions related to his investigation of the homicide of 22-year-old Vargas.

However, neither the defense or prosecution had any further questions for Aldana.

On Tuesday, Aldana told the court before he had arrived at the scene in the 600 block of East Cherry Oct. 25, 2013, it was begin-

ning to rain.

Aldana stated the firearm, which had been described to him as a silver handgun, was never recovered from the incident.

Previously in court, Roswell police officer Christopher King stated he had seen a black Chrysler with a sticker on its back on three separate occasions within a short period of time while he was blocking traffic at the corner of North Orchard Avenue and East Cherry Street the night Vargas was shot.

King said he tried to provide dispatch with the vehiSee VERDICT, Page A2

MainStreet Roswell gets its national accreditation back

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

National accreditation from Main Street America means the local group will be able to receive more state assistance and funding, says Kathy Lay, executive director of MainStreet Roswell.

MainStreet Roswell will be in line for more expertise and funding from the state now that it has received accreditation from the national Main Street organization.

“They have had some bounces up and down, and, in the last cou ple of years, they have been able to turn that around,“ said Rich Williams, executive director of New Mexico Main Street, part of the New Mexico Economic Development Department.

“That’s a really big achievement for them.”

He described national accreditation as an “important tool” for the local organization. It entitles them to apply for more requests for management, marketing, urban design and architectural experts, he said, and it means that their requests for state

funds for capital projects will be given a higher priority by Main Street New Mexico leaders than funding asks coming from non-accredited Main Street groups in the state.

Formed in 1991, MainStreet Roswell last had accreditation in 2013. The sudden loss of an executive director who had been with the group for years, turnover of board members and other issues meant that the group had not qualified for accreditation thereafter, although it remained an affiliated partner with the national organization.

The national Main Street organization, a program of a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, determines national accreditation. But state Main Street leaders are See ROSWELL, Page A2

Public voices ideas on future of Yucca Center property

By Alison Penn Roswell Daily Record

About 30 community members at a public forum Tuesday evening at the Central Fire Station suggested everything from athletic fields to community gardens to affordable housing as possible uses for the property now occupied by the historic Yucca Recreation Center, which is to be demolished.

The city organized the public forum to discuss future uses for the 2.4-acre property at 500 S. Richardson Ave. after the 106-yearold building is torn down.

Planning Manager Bill Morris and City Manager Joe Neeb primarily led the meeting.

“The city doesn’t get a

good reputation for reaching out and talking with everybody,” Neeb said.

“That’s why we are here is really to start those conversations and have those conversations as early and as often as I can get you guys out.”

Rejected bid discussed

Randall Kennedy and other people in attendance asked why the bid from Complete Rehabilitation Services Inc. was not accepted and why the city wanted to pay to demolish the center instead.

“One thing people don’t realize, they haven’t been inside the building recently,” City Engineer Louis Najar said. “If you go in there, all the fond memories that you have — your

heart is going to break. As an engineer or developer, it is cheaper to tear down and build anew. You’ve got to go in there. It’s ugly — and ugly is being nice.”

Neeb said the city wanted a plan on how the building would be brought back up to code and benefit the community, which is part of the reason the bid was denied.

Community members present ideas

Briana Calciano, 14, an eighth-grader at Sidney Gutierrez Middle School, said her teacher told her about the forum, which influenced her decision to attend.

New Mexico Legislature gets flurry of harassment complaints

By Morgan Lee Associated Press

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Legislature received five reports about possible sexual misconduct, harassment and discrimination during the recently concluded session, according to the legislative branch’s legal counsel.

The flurry of complaints and reports from observers about possible misconduct by lawmak-

ers and legislative staff stands in sharp contrast to the prior decade in which just one formal complaint of sexual misconduct was filed against a legislator with no finding of probable cause or disciplinary action.

Several informal reports of misconduct emerged late last year, as statehouses nationwide confronted allegations of sexual misconduct.

In response to a public records

request, the Legislative Council Service reported House lawmakers were the focus of one complaint of discrimination and one report of possible sexual harassment during the recent session.

Two reports of possible sexual harassment were made by legislative staff against staff colleagues.

The incidents were resolved and no probable cause was found to warrant formal charges, said Raul Burciaga, the lead attorney

for the Legislature.

Few details of the episodes were available because the Legislature does not disclose complaints where there is no finding of probable cause.

An additional complaint was related to the use of the legislative process by an outside group, and determined to not be a matter of harassment.

New Mexico lawmakers underwent harassment training and

cle’s license plate number but was originally incorrect.

He then clarified with the court he later called dispatch on his personal cellphone with the correct license plate.

The attorneys stipulated to members of the jury they were not able to locate King’s personal phone call.

On Wednesday, the defense called in three witnesses: Guardado’s big sister from Sacramento, California; Guardado’s wife, Tenay Relei; and Clifton Frosch, a retired RPD officer who also was called to the 2013 scene.

Guardado’s sister said her brother had been “making small strides” relocating back to California, where he was originally from. The sister stated she had even attempted to get Guardado a job with her husband’s employer.

Mitchell questioned Guardado’s sister about the text messages between her and Guardado, where she had expressed a sense of concern. She replied, saying she had been messaging Guardado due to him continually postponing his relocation to California.

Relei, Guardado’s wife, said Victor Oaxaca was her husband’s friend, even regarding him as “Steve’s only friend.”

She clarified that her father, Troy Relei, and Janet Borba had a relationship after Borba’s father had passed away, explaining why Guardado regarded Borba as the “mother-in-law.”

Also a California native, Relei said relocating was “always an up-in-the-air kind of thing.”

Contradicting previous statements made in court, Relei said she had switched

Alluding to an audio recording conversation Guardado had in the past, Thomas then asked Guardado what a “snitch” was. He replied that he did not know.

After asking him again, Guardado then said it was someone who was “telling.”

The audio recording was then played for Guardado.

He became defensive, stating, “Where did I say it?”

After Thomas asked him if it was true he had said it, Guardado argued with the prosecutor, saying it was the truth, “according to you, sir.”

During final statements, the prosecution criticized how the defense argued Guardado’s innocence largely on Miguel Barraza’s saliva sample and the way Guardado had responded when they asked the defendant what a “snitch” was.

Mitchell clung to the original description provided to police at the time which detailed an average-sized man wearing a gray hoodie or shirt, “not too long” black hair, and weighing about 175 pounds.

The defense attorney pressed the points of the incorrect license plate description initially given

by RPD officer King and the fact a projectile was never recovered. In the end, Mitchell said, the prosecution was “severely wanting and lacking.”

“And the reason it is,” Mitchell said. “Is that he didn’t do it.”

Mexican gray wolf population grows by one animal, survey says

By Susan Montoya Bryan Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — At least one more endangered Mexican gray wolf is roaming the American Southwest compared with a year earlier, and U.S. wildlife officials said Wednesday that lower survival rates among pups are primarily to blame for the lack of strong growth in the population.

The annual survey documented 114 wolves in the wild in Arizona and New Mexico. The number reflects on-the-ground data collected over the winter along with aerial surveys done in January and February.

The latest figure includes 26 pups that survived through 2017. In 2016, the number of surviving pups was nearly double that.

Officials lamented that the numbers were not what they had hoped for and said they were focused on improving the genetics of the wild population as a way to build more robust numbers.

“We all understand the challenges involved in protecting and restoring wild populations of this endangered species,” Amy Lueders, Southwest regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said in a statement.

Environmentalists pointed to stagnation in the population, saying managers need to rethink their approach to helping the species recover.

“It is essential that sci-

ence, not politics, guides recovery efforts for these rarest of wolves,” said Bryan Bird with the group Defenders of Wildlife.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has been criticized for its management of the predators by both ranchers, who say the animals are a threat to their livelihoods, and environmentalists who want more captive-bred wolves to be released.

Mexican wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf, nearly disappeared in the 1970s before the federal government added them to the endangered species list in 1976.

The Fish and Wildlife Service began reintroducing the wolves in New Mexico and Arizona in 1998, but the effort has been hampered by everything from politics to illegal killings and inbreeding concerns.

According to the survey, there are 22 packs, with at least 51 wolves in New Mexico and 63 wolves in Arizona.

Two dozen wolves were captured and radio-collared during the annual count, including 10 that had not been captured previously.

Officials also said one of four captive-bred pups that had been placed with foster wolf packs in the wild was confirmed to be alive.

In 2017, there were 12 documented wolf deaths.

Michael Robinson with

the Center for Biological Diversity said the survey results should serve as a warning for the Fish and Wildlife Service. He said the low numbers mean each wolf in the wild counts.

Mexican wildlife managers also are working to restore the species south of the U.S.-Mexico border. Officials say there are about 30 Mexican gray wolves in the wild there.

involved in the evaluation leading up to the accreditation decision and recommend accreditation when appropriate.

Organizations must meet all 10 of the national standards to earn the accreditation, with those standards covering such things as budget, board and volunteer training, mission statements and organizational plans.

At its previous evaluation in November 2016 , the local organization itself identified needs for increased economic development initiatives and more board training, Williams said at that time.

MainStreet Roswell Executive Director Kathy Lay, who joined the group shortly before the 2016 evaluation, said the organization spent the past year bringing its legal documents with state and local government partners into compliance and also developing more partnerships with businesses, chambers of commerce, small business development centers and other organizations.

Those partnerships are key, she said, to increasing activity and progress in the four priorities of Main Street groups: organization, promotion, urban and architectural design, and economic vitality.

“Not just myself, but the board has gone out and really recruited, built strong bridges and has been downtown (to work on projects),” she said. “It has to be an actively, thriving program for it to be accredited.”

MainStreet is often recognized for sponsoring festivals and events

during the year, including the Holiday Parade and Farmers’ Market, but it also works with partners to preserve and promote the downtown area by helping businesses succeed and by working to improve the a e s th e tic s a n d in fr astructure of the area.

Lay said that accreditation has several advantages, including that the Roswell organization can make twice as many expert service requests as it was eligible to make as an affiliate.

In 2016, the group received assistance from management, marketing and design experts that totaled more than $33,000, she said. In 2017, the value of those services received were $56,450 and went to such things as board training, marketing analysis, bylaws review and the “façade squad” that worked with downtown businesses to plan for new signage and exteriors.

Lay said the 2017 amount included $20,000 in four assistance requests that the organization was entitled to make as an affiliate.

As an accredited group, it can now make up to eight service requests “Depending on what service requests we put in, it could actually double to $40,000,” Lay said.

Both Williams and Lay stress that downtown businesses and city will benefit from increased economic revitalization efforts in the coming year, including a planned marketing seminar in March for local businesses, that will come as a benefit of its accreditation.

Under a recently adopted recovery plan for the species, management of the wolves in the U.S. would eventually revert to state wildlife agencies in New Mexico and Arizona but not until the population averages 320 wolves over an eightyear period. In each of the last three years, the population would have to exceed the average to ensure the species doesn’t backslide.

Yucca Continued from Page A1

Calciano read a letter she had written to the city asking for a community garden. Calciano said she loves gardening and that a garden would encourage the community to unplug from their screens and connect with nature and each other. The produce at the garden could be donated to a food pantry for lower-income families, she said.

Other suggestions included a neighborhood park, a dog park, a splash pad, an alien-themed park, athletic practice fields, affordable housing, a region-specific fish aquarium and a skating rink.

Todd DeKay brought his son, Zachary, to the meeting and suggested a park with an alien-crash theme, including a sideways jungle gym. DeKay said recreation should be a major part of repurposing the land.

“We also have to consider that all of these ideas are paid for by tax money,” Randall Kennedy said, who suggested along with some others that future ideas involve public-private funding.

Kennedy said any idea paid for with taxes could end up like Spring River Park Zoo, costing the city money, and suggested the city should think about replacing Yucca with a profit-generating amenity.

“None of these things are making a profit,” Kennedy said. “They are just making people happy.”

William Roblas said he owns a building across from Yucca and would like to see the city property developed as a mixeduse park. Roblas added that a facility to host after-school programs or

ment at the Capitol went unchecked under procedures adopted in 2008.

Republican Rep. Kelly Fajardo of Belen said at the close of the legislative session that more complaints would represent progress toward greater confidence in anti-harassment procedures — an indication that “people feel like they’re not shut out.”

She applauded the decision to bring outside council into the process for evaluating complaints but wants the Legislature to consider turning decisions over to an independent state ethics commission. Voters will decide on whether to create the commission during general elections in November.

It was unclear whether any complaints were filed by lobbyists — who have

public meetings could be another use.

Jimmy Masters with the Health Department said he liked the community garden idea and a park with a walking trail around it, similar to Altrusa Park.

“I go back to what is best for that neighborhood as well,” Masters said. “It’s all about improvement.”

Morris said creating a new park or another amenity could influence people to relocate to that area of town.

Some community members asked about keeping the center’s elements such as its parking lot, basketball courts, and the playground, which the city staff recognized as an option.

Masters asked if there had been any door-to-door assessments or surveys in the surrounding neighborhood of the Yucca. Morris replied that the city had placed some surveys on windshields.

Virginia Garcia said that area has been left without recreation for two years.

“How long into the future do we have to go to see this come to fruition?” Garcia asked.

After the meeting, she suggested the Yucca name should be kept to preserve its history.

wages and aging of current housing. The study showed the city had about 18,000 units of affordable housing, but an estimated 10,000 to 11,000 units were considered substandard.

Morris clarified this housing was not Section 8 housing, but rather affordable options for teachers, nurses, firemen, policemen and others with a median income.

To create affordable housing, the city could donate the land or sell to a developer. Morris said affordable housing has small profit margins, which means, to make a profit, it has to be high-density housing, such as townhouses or apartments that could be bought or rented.

Next step

Affordable housing

Earlier in the meeting, Neeb said the city found comments on social media to turn the Yucca into affordable housing, causing Mayor Dennis Kintigh to ask if the idea was viable.

Morris said the Yucca is zoned for residential or heavy commercial uses.

He also said that a twoyear-old study showed the city has a huge need for affordable housing due to low incomes, stagnant

“It’s their future,” Morris said gesturing to the youth who attended the forum as the evening drew to a close.

Neeb said good maintenance of parks and high-quality service is what the city deserves.

He added that community members can attend the Parks and Recreation Committee and speak at other city meetings if they have more to discuss about the property. Another forum dedicated to the Yucca could happen if the community asks for it and the city is aware of a need.

For future discussion, Neeb said, people should think about whether they would want a park for the neighborhood or a development such as a skate park or a splash pad with a more regional appeal.

been a focal point of concern about mistreatment at the Legislature.

Registered lobbyist Julianna Koob said Wednesday the Legislature’s new anti-harassment policy and training have brought a new sense of awareness and concern to the Capitol about what constitutes respectful behavior.

“It changed in a good way,” said Koob, who specializes in domestic violence legislation and said she was mistreated in the past but didn’t file a complaint.

Koob said she still worries that potential complaints against lawmakers may not be filed because of concerns about privacy and possible retaliation, noting that investigations are led by a panel of three leading lawmakers.

House Speaker Brian Egolf, who helps vet complaints against House lawmakers, said he hopes for

increased trust in a process where complaints are acted on immediately.

In December, registered lobbyist Vanessa Alarid publicly accused former Rep. Thomas Garcia of offering to vote for a bill in 2009 if she would have sex with him — allegations he denies. Garcia, a Democrat, left the Legislature in 2012, and no investigation of him is pending at the Legislature.

Training on harassment issues was provided for political lobbyists this year by the Secretary of State’s Office, with 112 registered lobbyists volunteering to attend.

Democratic Sen. Michael Padilla of Albuquerque was ousted in December as majority whip and ended his campaign for lieutenant governor amid allegations that he harassed women at a previous job a decade ago. He has repeatedly denied the claims.

Crews used boats to help residents amid Midwest flooding ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — Crews used boats to help residents evacuate their homes in northern Indiana after rainstorms sweeping across the Midwest on Wednesday combined with melting snow to flood rivers, roads and other low-lying areas in several states.

The storm system started pushing heavy rain, snow and ice into the region this week. The weather has already been blamed for hundreds of car crashes and several fatalities, including a crash that killed four people along a slippery interstate in Nebraska.

About 19 people had been evacuated from homes in Elkhart, where emergency crews used boats and an armored vehicle to respond, Mayor Tim Neese said early Wednesday. Schools were closed in the northern Indiana city because of the flooding, and an emergency shelter was set up, The Elkhart Truth newspaper reported.

“This city has not seen flooding like this in the last 45 years,” Neese said. “We also had record snowfall in addition to consistent rain.”

In Elkhart and nearby Goshen, local officials declared a state of emergency and asked that traffic be limited to first responders and emergency personnel. Homes and streets also were flooded in the South Bend area, and forecasters predicted that the swollen St. Joseph River wouldn’t crest until Thursday.

Evacuations grew elsewhere across the Midwest after heavy rains and snowmelt sent rivers and streams out of their banks.

Authorities in Lansing, Michigan, recommended the evacuations of at least six neighborhoods Wednesday ahead of the expected cresting of the Grand River at more than 3 feet above flood stage Thursday night. Firefighters in Lake Station, Indiana, about 30 miles southeast of Chicago, evacuated some residents

Wednesday after about 2 to 3 feet of water surrounded 15 to 20 homes.

In Illinois, authorities issued an evacuation order Wednesday for residents in the city of Marseilles who live near the Illinois River.

The fear of rising water along the river forced the evacuation late Tuesday of the LaSalle County Nursing Home in Ottawa. Two days of rain in southern Wisconsin swelled waterways, leading to a handful of high-water rescues for people stranded in their vehicles.

The National Weather Service said up to 8 inches of rain have fallen in parts of northern Indiana since Monday.

The weather service has issued flood warnings for parts of several other states in the central and southern U.S., spanning from Texas to Illinois and Ohio to Arkansas. Winter weather advisories also were issued, including in Oklahoma and Kansas.

Artesia man who murdered girlfriend to stay in prison

Roswell Daily Record The New Mexico Court of Appeals on Wednesday affirmed the conviction and sentence of Dallas Hnulik of Artesia for the 2010 murder of his girlfriend, Brandy Capps.

In its decision, the Court of Appeals agreed with Office of the Attorney General Criminal Appeals Division, Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a released statement.

Balderas said he prioritized the case early in his administration and his

prosecutors successfully convicted Hnulik of second-degree murder in July 2015.

“My office will continue to work with local law enforcement across New Mexico to attack violent crime and keep the most dangerous criminals behind bars,” Balderas said. “Violence against women and domestic violence will not be tolerated in New Mexico, and I am thankful for hard work of the Eddy County Sheriff’s Office and Pecos Valley Drug Task Force. I am also very proud of the

Office of the Attorney General prosecutors for securing this conviction and our Criminal Appeals Division for working to have this hard fought conviction upheld.”

In the summer of 2015, Hnulik was convicted after a Carlsbad jury deliberated for only two hours. In November of that year, Fifth Judicial District Judge Lisa B. Riley sentenced him to 12 years of incarceration for murdering Capps, who suffered a gunshot wound to the face at a range of approximately 4 inches.

History provides examples of harm from nuclear accidents

A

nother opinion column recently stated: “… nuclear reactors cannot explode and are completely contained.”

Also, “Fukushima was a 3-reactor nuclear meltdown where no one was harmed from radiation exposure.” I couldn’t resist a simple internet search. Found non-containment, explosions and harm occurred.

Ever stand dominos on end?

Push one, and they all topple.

The Great East Japan earthquake (March 11, 2011) did just that: 761 known earthquake deaths, plus 50-foot tsunami took 19,000 human lives. Over a million buildings destroyed or partly collapsed. By 2016, 1,368 deaths “related to the nuclear power plant.”

The World Nuclear Association stated, “a hardened emergency response centre on site was impossible for grappling with the situation, due to radioactive contamination.”

Why? After the earthquake,

Melanie Deason Guest Columnist three Fukushima nuclear reactors flooded, disabling just about every fail-safe, causing a station blackout. Fuel rods literally melted (40 percent boiled off), causing radioactive releases for months.

“Vented steam, noble gases and aerosols were accompanied by hydrogen,” likely causing their hydrogen explosion (similar to Three Mile Island’s 1979 meltdown). Then roofs ripped off reactors 1 and 3, injuring 11 workers.

Luckily, the other 60 percent of fuel rods fell into containment vessels, but emergency seawater for cooling couldn’t be contained and radiation contaminated the ocean. My favorite Chinese restaurant owner greats me with his cell phone, showing current maps of ocean radiation (between

China and Japan). He points, saying, “Don’t eat fish caught there!” When’s the last time you checked frozen fish labels before buying?

At Fukushima’s reactor, “at least 6 workers exceeded lifetime legal limits for radiation; more than 175 have received significant radiation doses. Other workers involved in mitigating effects of the accident also face minimally higher risks for some cancers.”

To ensure no people died from “acute radiation exposure,” the Japanese government forcibly evacuated 100,000 people: “3450+ deaths from hypothermia, dehydration and underlying medical problems (mostly inpatients/ elderly at nursing facilities).”

Remember WWII history? Japan got two nuclear bombs; New Mexico Downwinders got the original one.

Now Holtec proposes moving and storing nuclear reactor waste here! Last year, U.S. fires and hurricanes forced tens

of thousands of people from their homes. Does New Mexico have competency, statewide or locally, should radiation accidents or evacuations occur?

Japanese evacuees were delayed months returning; government feared lingering radiation threats. The result was longterm displacement (1,368 deaths); “mostly sick/elderly in temporary housing/shelters (degraded living conditions, separated from support networks).”

For 18 years, the Japanese government knew Fukushima would have a serious earthquake or tsunami, yet avoided simple corrective actions, such as moving pumps uphill. Their report was to be released a month later. While no person is known to have died from acute radiation syndrome (the quick death), thousands were harmed evacuating. Many died as collateral damage, while reactor employees/contractors/military were exposed to radiation.

In my opinion, Fukushima’s

story could become Holtec’s face if profit and token jobs take priority over people’s welfare in New Mexico.

Radiation cannot be seen, smelled, tasted, felt or heard, and it requires detection equipment and often protective worker gear. High-level reactor waste is the most dangerous. It’s bad enough packaging low-level waste incorrectly. (An example is the nearby Waste Isolation Pilot Program, which required a $2 billion clean-up.)

Please no more mistakes, accidental Rambos or harming others by inaction. Instead, be a good Samaritan and keep everybody safe: Stop Nuclear Waste Dumps—Not in New Mexico’s Backyards!

Cybercrime Lab Can Help Battle Internet Thieves Jacksonville Daily News

Robbing and stealing just isn’t what it used to be. As we move to a more “cashless” society, greenbacks and coins are harder to pinch. Banks and convenience stores have less cash on hand as more people choose to pay at the pump, swipe their card or use an app on their smartphone.

But criminals have adapted. Those who have honed their craft have traded in a revolver for a keyboard. And they’re obviously getting much better at taking what is not rightfully theirs.

Just last year, cyber-criminals stole about $5 million in data from Montgomery County, home to Alabama’s capitol.

Using what is known as “ransomware,” a stealthy form of malware that locks up digital files, criminals behind a keyboard squeezed the county for $45,000 in ransom money so the county could restore the data and get its systems back online.

The ransom was paid in bitcoin, a type of online currency that operates outside of the normal regulations managed by governments and banks.

It is a scenario that plays out with an increasing frequency. Like Montgomery County, many businesses, from small to very large, opt to pay the ransom because there is little that can be done and the only alternative is to cease operations. Ransomware attacks have exploded in recent years - thousands of attacks are launched every day - and are now costing hundreds of millions of dollars annually, according to the FBI. But ransomware is just one of many paths criminals can take in the digital age to rip us off. Identity theft is another illicit avenue on the internet that provides criminals a seemingly limitless number of potential victims. And we all know by now the online world is teeming with sexual predators.

Law enforcement at all levels has the authority to go after these new faceless outlaws, but it seldom has the expertise or resources to even begin to put a dent in the rapidly growing problem. That is, until now.

Secret Service, FBI and Homeland Security officials were in Montgomery, Alabama, on Wednesday with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall to announce a new cybercrime lab that will serve as a resource for local, state and federal law enforcement efforts.

Marshall announced that his office also haslaunched a new web link for law enforcement to report debit and credit card skimming devices, which often are installed on gas pumps and at ATMs to steal card information.

Without a doubt, criminals have gotten much more sophisticated in their approach, and because of the nature of the internet their reach is well beyond their local community. It is a good thing law enforcement is working to keep pace in their efforts to protect us.

Supreme court to hear union dues case

I

f your workplace is a union shop, are you to pay union dues? Next week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about that.

When I worked at CBS and ABC, I was ordered to join the American Federation of Radio and TV Artists. That union had won a vote that gave them the right to speak for all reporters. I said, “I’m no ‘artist.’

I’m a reporter! I won’t join!”

But my bosses said they couldn’t pay me unless I did.

In right-to-work states, unions can’t force people to join. But only 28 states are right to work. Aging socialist bureaucracies like New York state are not among them.

But now the Supreme Court may say that no government worker, in any state, can be forced to pay a union.

“If we lose this case, the entire public sector will be right to work,” warns Lee Saunders, president of AFSCME, the big government employees union.

That outcome would thrill Rebecca Friedrichs. She’s the teacher who filed the right-to-work lawsuit that went to the Supreme Court two years ago.

Friedrichs got mad at the California Teachers Association during the last reces-

John

Stossel Syndicated Columnist sion. Good teachers at her school were about to be laid off. She’d tried to protect them by getting all teachers to agree to a slight pay cut.

“All America was taking a pay cut then,” she told me.

“Why should we be any different?”

But her union wouldn’t even allow her to survey other teachers. “They told me, Rebecca, don’t worry about those teachers who were about to lose jobs. ...

We’re going to give them a seminar on how to get unemployment benefits.”

That was one thing that made Friedrichs angry enough to sue the Teachers Association. Three years later, the Supreme Court agreed to hear her case.

Supreme Court watchers predicted that she would win. Union cheerleaders were pessimistic. Chris Hayes of MSNBC said that Friedrich’s case might “decimate the way that public sector unions function.”

But shortly before the justices voted, Antonin Scalia

died.

“That was the most devastating day,” says Friedrichs.

Without Scalia’s vote, the Court deadlocked 4 to 4.

Now a new suit has been filed by government worker Mark Janus. With Neil Gorsuch now the ninth justice, unions are worried.

In fact, they are so worried that AFSCME representative Steven Kreisberg agreed to do one of my YouTube interviews.

“Our members ... want their union to have power,” he said. “It’s (Janus’) right to dissent and not be a member of our union. He only has to pay the fees that are used to represent him.”

But what’s the point of dissenting from the union if you still have to pay? Janus doesn’t want to be forced to pay for something he doesn’t agree with.

Kreisberg replied, “I’m not sure if he doesn’t agree with it, or just simply doesn’t want to pay because he’d like to get those services for free.”

That’s an argument a free-market advocate can understand: It’s not fair if people freeload off others’ work -- getting benefits others fund. But who judges what is a “benefit”?

“If I saw their representation as a benefit, I could agree with that, but I don’t,”

Friedrichs said. “The benefits aren’t worth the moral costs.”

Kreisberg responded, “That sounds like the words of a right-wing activist, not the words of a teacher.”

Janus’s lawsuit points out that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Kreisberg had a quick answer to that: “Thomas Jefferson had no sense of 21st-century labor relations.”

That’s probably true. But some principles are eternal, like deciding what to do with your own money and not being forced to fund speech with which you disagree.

The justices will announce their ruling sometime this summer. I hope that they’ll side with Jefferson. Forcing people to pay for what we don’t want is tyranny.

Four local schools to compete at state Science Olympiad

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record Teams from four local schools performed well enough in regional Science Olympiad competitions earlier this month to advance to the state tournament this Saturday.

For the first year, Sierra Middle School will send a team to the state event, to be held at New Mexico Tech in Socorro. A student team placed sixth among 13 teams from 10 different schools during the southeast regional competition held Feb. 3 at New Mexico Military Institute.

“We are really hoping that they get an interest in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields,” said Sierra teacher and coach Kathleen Arias, explaining that it can teach students about areas of science and math that they might not otherwise be exposed to in middle school and that it could encourage their participation on high school teams.

“They are getting a good experience and hopefully it will spark an interest in a career for their life,” said Sierra science teacher Eric Cannon.

Arias and Cannon added that their team’s preparation has involved coaching from

He attended Roswell schools and was very active in football, track, and wrestling. He achieved a State medal.

He had fond memories of his time and activities at Roswell High and so enjoyed being there. In his senior year, he was elected RHS Homecoming King. When it was time to graduate from RHS, he asked one of the secretaries, if he could re-enroll as a freshman and stay at RHS. She said she wished he could stay but he had to graduate from Roswell High School. He graduated and attended Eastern New Mexico University – Portales.

Entering the workforce, Michael was employed by Coca-Cola, Sysco, and Standard Energy Services. He was the yard manager for Standard.

He was the sunshine of her life; he meant the world to her and greatly impacted her life and the many lives he touched. He cared so deeply and wholeheartedly for everyone and was so very humble. Michael was the kindest, most generous man she had the pleasure to call dad.

He will forever be missed but never forgotten. A new daughter, Jaedyn, expressed when Michael came into her life four

years ago, she knew from that day her life would be completely changed in an amazing way. Michael blessed her with so many opportunities and also blessed her with two siblings, Angelina and Izaiah.

Michael had always been the guy to walk into a room and light it up with that smile we all knew and loved, Mr. Social Butterfly! She appreciates everything Michael had done and will continue to do from heaven not only for her but everyone else. She will forever and always miss and love him. Another new daughter, Aliyah, also expressed that Michael was an awesome man and caring dad. He cared for me, my sisters, and my baby brother.

The common cold is the number one reason for lost work and school time throughout the industrialized world. The average adult will get two or three colds each year, while children can go through 5 – L to R: Kim Hestand, FNP-C. Richard Pinon, MD. 10 cycles. The typical cold starts with a sore throat Megan Brandt, FNP-C. and runny nose, followed by sneezing and coughing. Most people will recover fully within a week to ten days.

“There are over 200 different viruses that can cause a cold, the most common being the rhinovirus,” says Dr. Rick Pinon. "While a cold can vary in intensity from mildly annoying to quite severe, it’s important to note that they are still viruses. Antibiotics will have no effect – you can treat the symptoms but just have to wait it out.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MONTREAT, N.C. — The Rev. Billy Graham, the magnetic, movie-star-handsome preacher who became a singular force in postwar American religious life, a confidant of presidents and the most widely heard Christian evangelist in history, died Wednesday at 99.

“America’s Pastor,” as he was dubbed, had suffered from cancer, pneumonia and other ailments and died at his home in North Carolina.

More than anyone else, Graham built evangelicalism into a force that rivaled liberal Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in the U.S. His leadership summits and crusades in more than 185 countries and territories forged powerful global links among conservative Christians and threw a lifeline to believers in the communist bloc.

Tributes to Graham poured in from major leaders, with President Donald Trump tweeting: “The GREAT Billy Graham is dead. There was nobody like him! He will be missed by Christians and all religions.

A very special man.” Former President Barack Obama said Graham “gave hope

and guidance to generations of Americans.”

A tall, striking man with thick, swept-back hair, stark blue eyes and a firm jaw, Graham was a commanding presence in the pulpit, with a powerful baritone voice.

“The Bible says,” was his catchphrase. His unquestioning belief in Scripture turned the Gospel into a “rapier” in his hands, he said.

Graham reached multitudes around the globe through public appearances and his pioneering use of prime-time telecasts, network radio, daily newspaper columns, evangelistic films and satellite TV hookups.

By his final crusade in 2005 in New York City, he had preached in person to more than 210 million people worldwide. No evangelist is expected to have his level of influence again.

“William Franklin Graham Jr. can safely be regarded as the best who ever lived at what he did,” said William Martin, author of the Graham biography “A Prophet With Honor.”

He was a counselor to U.S. presidents of both parties from Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush.

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom,

America’s highest civilian honor. When the Billy Graham Museum and Library was dedicated in 2007 in Charlotte, North Carolina, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton attended.

“When he prays with you in the Oval Office or upstairs in the White House, you feel he’s praying for you, not the president,” Clinton said at the ceremony.

Born Nov. 7, 1918, on his family’s dairy farm near Charlotte, Graham came from a fundamentalist background that expected true Bible-believers to stay clear of Christians with even the most minor differences over Scripture. But he came to reject that view for a more ecumenical approach.

Ord ain ed a S ou th ern Baptist, he later joined a then-emerging movement called New Evangelicalism that abandoned the narrowness of fundamentalism.

Fundamentalists excoriated him for his new direction and broke with him when he agreed to work with more liberal Christians in the

1950s.

Graham stood fast.

“The ecumenical movement has broadened my viewpoint and I recognize now that God has his people in all churches,” he said in the early 1950s.

In 1957, he said, “I intend to go anywhere, sponsored by anybody, to preach the Gospel of Christ.”

His approach helped evangelicals gain the influence they have today.

Graham’s path began taking shape at age 16, when the Presbyterian-reared farmboy committed himself to Christ at a tent revival.

“I did not feel any special emotion,” he wrote in his 1997 autobiography, “Just As I Am.” ‘‘I simply felt at peace,” and thereafter, “the world looked different.”

After high school, he enrolled at the fundamentalist Bob Jones College but found the school stifling and transferred to Florida Bible Institute in Tampa.

There, he practiced sermonizing in a swamp, preaching to birds and alligators before tryouts with small churches.

Victor Bolanos signs with NMMI

By J.T. Keith Roswell Daily Record

Signing day for the Bolanos family wasn’t a signing day. It was a culmination of family bonding, surviving, crying, fighting and treasuring just one more day together. It was about a senior high-school student having to grow up faster and worry about being strong for his dad and family; it was about a family just being thankful and counting the blessings of today.

For the Bolanos family, watching son Victor sign his National Letter of Intent Tuesday to pursue his dreams and grow into manhood amid all that has happened to them in the last couple of years shows what love and family mean.

Those two ingredients brought a community and family together, as Victor Bolanos was celebrated by friends, players and coaches who came to cheer his decision to play football for New Mexico Military Institute next fall.

“Victor comes from a great family,” NMMI coach Joe Forchtner said. “He’s also a Roswell native. He’s a big kid and will be able to help us on the offensive line next year.”

When members of the Gadsden High School football team watched film of the Roswell Coyotes playing against other teams, opponents would watch Coyotes’ left tackle Victor Bolanos and think, he’s just big.

Every lineman Bolanos went up against wanted to test him and themselves to prove big doesn’t make a football player. Howev-

Size doesn’t begin to tell the story of the faces opponents would make when they broke the huddle and lined up against him for the first series of the game. Bolanos played bigger than his advertised 6-foot-2, 300 pounds.

He had the quickness of a cat off the ball and the strength of a vise once he was able to get his hands on the man across from him. Many times during a play, Bolanos would pancake a lineman in front of him and head to the next

level to attack a linebacker or defensive back.

To get to signing day, Bolanos first had to adjust his attitude as a freshman.

He thought things would come easily to him, but Coyotes assistant coach David Lynn and head coach Jeff Lynn laid down the law and let him know that everything he would get on the football field would be earned.

“It means a lot to me,” Victor Bolanos said. “My dad (Ruben) played at the next level and that is something I wanted to do.

It means a lot to my mom and dad to come see me play.”

One of the differences

between his junior year and his senior year was the intensity of his returning four linemen. In his junior year, RHS had a lot of returning seniors and he wasn’t called on to lead.

He was trying to fit in.

As a senior on the line, he was a leader on the line. He made line calls and played with other linemans who were skilled and gave opponents fits as the Coyotes set records in rushing. With another year of playing together, each of the linemen knew what the other would do at the snap of the ball.

“As a senior, he grew into that leadership role,” RHS coach Jeff Lynn said.

Another factor was Bolanos’ dedication in the weight room. He put on muscle and added 35 to 40 pounds on his lifts.

One reason Bolanos chose NMMI over other schools was his desire to hit the books hard so that he can become a game warden. He likes that his family will be able to visit him when they want to, and when he has free time he can go home for a meal.

“The opportunity,” Ruben said. “The opportunity to allow himself to be a better student, to be able to handle time and task management at an institute of higher learning.

The Institute will help him to prioritize. As an athlete, it will give him the opportunity to take on any challenge that is put before him. He’s going to have to grind daily. There will be plenty of times when he will second-guess himself, but he’s going to have to develop some grit and he’ll be fine.”

Some of the things that will give Victor a head start is that he comes from a football family, his dad, Ruben, played college ball, his former head coach Jeff Lynn played at NMMI, and Roswell runs multiple offensive sets, so he should be at ease making line calls and recognizing different schemes.

“I’m excited for him,” coach Lynn said. “I played football at NMMI. NMMI is not one of those decisions you appreciate while you are there. Once you get done with it, you’re going to be really proud you went there. I’m really fired up for him, and I can’t wait to see what he does when he commits to football 100 percent.”

One of the things his father, Ruben, has been working with him on is the mental aspect of life and football. Ruben has been talking about developing the passion and desire to achieve and to want success. One of the things Ruben wants Victor thinking is, bigger, stronger, faster. Because when it comes to football at NMMI, he is going to run into athletes as big, as strong if not stronger.

“He is very coachable and an overall awesome kid,” NMMI coach Forchtner said. “He will do great things at NMMI.

HAGERMAN – The Hagerman Lady Bobcat basketball team gutted out a tough, foul-filled game over a game Jal Panther team 52-39 Wednesday in Hagerman. The Bobcats became the first local Chaves County team to officially reach the district tournament finals as they now travel to #7-ranked Tatum on Friday night for the district 4-2A crown.

The Panthers, winners of the quarterfinals over Gateway Christian on Monday, played a tough brand of basketball, but ultimately could not keep up with the faster Bobcats in falling to the hosts for the fourth time this season.

“We kind of reverted back to some of the old things that we did at the beginning of the season,” stated coach Candace Pollard. “We had gotten so much better last week when we played Jal (a 57-24 win). It was just so much (better). We played as a team. We played four full quarters. Tonight, we just dug ourselves into a hole and had to work our way out of it.”

The Bobcats started out sluggishly as they had trouble hitting from the outside or inside as the rims were very unkind to the host squad. Leandra Tarango would bust a three with a little under four minutes to go to tie the game at 5-all and then with a little under three to go, Paige Hoppes would get a nice pass from Stephanie Razo to get the layup and a 7-6 lead. The Bobcats would never trail again.

Razo would continue to

Hagerman girls Bethany Barela hits a floater in the lane against Jal Wednesday night. lead the Bobcat offense, but it was her defense that really impressed coach Pollard as she was tasked with guarding Jal’s best player, Jocelyn Hernandez, most of the night. Hernandez, who finished with 18 points, had the green light to shoot at any time...and often did.

“Stephanie (Razo) would run through a brick wall for me,” stated Pollard.

“As a coach, that’s what you want. I told her what to do before the game and she does it 110%. She may have an off-shooting night, but, defensively, she does exactly what I want her to do and that’s what is most important to me.”

The Bobcats would stretch a slim 10-8 first quarter lead into a quick 18-8 lead at the beginning of the second quarter as freshman Yamile Ortiz and Bethany Barela would nail long threes.

The Panthers would scratch back into the game

as Hernandez continued to drive and Rylee Crawford would get jumpers to fall.

Coincidentally, those two Panther players would be the only two to score in the first half for Jal. Tarango would get the last basket and the last free throw for the Bobcats as they led 21-17 at the break.

Tarango would get the hosts going in the second half as she would bookend a three with a pair of freebies as the Cats would lead 26-21. The game would stay relatively close throughout as the Bobcats would miss easy chances and the visitors would start to get some production from other players.

Pollard had high praise for her bench players as Tarango, Joana Soto, and Ortiz all came up big. “My starting five didn’t come out the way I wanted them to, so my bench really stepped up tonight.”

Hernandez would make

her only hoop late for the Panthers to cut the lead to only 34-30, but the hosts would get three free throws from Barela, Joana Soto, and Razo to make it 37-30 heading into the final frame.

The final quarter was filled with fouls and freethrow attempts as both teams were in the bonus at the beginning of the quarter.

With the score 37-33, the Bobcats got free throws from Barela (again), Razo (again) and a bucket from Ortiz to get the lead to double digits at 44-33 and some much-needed breathing room for the host team.

Hernandez would score a couple of late buckets for the Panthers and Barela would nail a running three late to make it 52-39 at the final hoop.

Tarango would lead the Bobcats offensively with 13 points. Barela would chip in with 11.

Gasser outduels Anderson for gold in women’s Big Air

By Will Graves AP Sports Writer PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Anna Gasser grew up wanting to be a gymnast, making it all the way to the Austrian national team before life took her in another direction. She didn’t even start snowboarding until she was 18, drawn not by the lure of the Olympics but of simply challenging herself to push higher, go farther and become more than just some gymnast who gave snowboarding a shot.

Over the last eight years, Gasser has become far more than that.

And she’s got the gold medal to prove it.

Gasser stomped a “cab double 10” — basically, two flips and three full rotations — in her final jump to slip past American star Jamie Anderson to claim the Olympic debut of women’s Big Air. Gasser’s score of 96 was the highest of the day and boosted her two-jump total to 185.00, providing a measure of redemption after a disappointing 15th-place finish during the wind-marred slopestyle final last week.

“After slopestyle I think everyone needed this today,” Gasser said. “Everyone needed to show their best tricks and today was one of the highest levels in girls’ snowboarding I’ve ever seen.”

One that pushed Gasser to the limit.

Anderson threw down a 1080 and a cab 900 to

That left an opening that Gasser, who earned the right to go last after topping qualifying on Tuesday, sprinted through.

Not that it bothered

Anderson, whose silver made her the third snowboarder with three Olympic medals, joining Americans Shaun White and Kelly Clark.

“I was hoping she was going to land it for her because she’s been charging and charging

and just doing so well over the last few years,” said Anderson, who will leave South Korea with two medals after claiming gold in slopestyle. “It’s so nice to see her put it down when it counts.”

Standing atop the course getting ready to

drop in, Gasser didn’t feel any pressure. Already assured of at least silver, she followed one of her sport’s unwritten rules: never settle.

“My mind was ‘I can only win here if I land, I can change the color of this medal,’” Gasser said.

“I decided to do a trick I wasn’t 100 percent sure it would work but a trick I really wanted to show and that’s what mattered to me the most.”

In snowboarding, it’s the spectacle and not the medals that truly matter. Which is why Gasser was particularly annoyed following the slopestyle competition. She openly wondered why officials allowed the event to go on even though high winds had forced the cancellation of other outdoor competitions scheduled elsewhere in Pyeongchang. Anderson survived the blustery conditions to claim gold on a day when only nine of the 50 runs were completed cleanly.

Officials scrambled to make sure it wouldn’t happen again in Big Air. They moved the finals from Friday to Thursday amid concerns over another possible windstorm, and Anderson and Gasser responded by putting on a compelling duel at sun-splashed and mostly calm Alpensia Ski Jump Centre.

Big Air requires riders to sprint down a 50-meter ramp before vaulting high into the sky, flipping and twisting their way to the landing ramp, traveling as much as 100 feet while

flying end-over-end. All riders get three attempts, with the two highest scores counting toward their total.

Anderson spent the morning sipping tea and dancing to calm her nerves. She certainly looked relaxed, sending a message with her first jump, a near-flawless frontside 1080. The judges rewarded her with a 90. She backed it up with an 87.25. It ultimately wasn’t good enough for gold. It hardly mattered to Anderson.

“All the girls are so gangster,” Anderson said.

“Literally any girl in that final could have won a medal today, it was just a matter of mind power.”

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott’s total of 157.50 gave New Zealand its first Winter Olympic medal of any variety since Annelise Coberger earned silver in slalom at the Albertville Games in 1992. It was also the start of a big day for her homeland. Shortly after Sadowski-Synnott joined Gasser and Anderson on the podium, New Zealand freestyle skier Nico Porteous grabbed bronze in the halfpipe. Sadowski-Synnott believes it’s a sign of things to come.

Who knows? Maybe in four years it will be the 16-year-old Sadowski-Synnott atop the medal stand in Beijing. It wasn’t to be on Thursday, when Gasser left no doubt.

“It was insane,” Sadowski-Synnott said. “Like she is on another level ... she’s boss.”

Mavs launch probe after allegations of workplace misconduct

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks have hired outside counsel to investigate allegations of inappropriate conduct by former team president Terdema Ussery in a Sports Illustrated report that described a hostile workplace for women.

Ussery was accused of making sexually suggestive remarks to several women. He spent 18 years with the team before going to the sports apparel company Under Armour in 2015. Ussery, who was investigated by the team over similar claims in 1998, denied the allegations in a statement to SI. The report said team website reporter Earl Sneed was twice accused of domestic assault while working for the Mavericks, including a guilty plea in a case that was dismissed when he met the conditions of the agreement.

The team said Sneed had been fired, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told SI that he fired human resources director Buddy Pittman after learning details of the magazine’s report. Pittman and Sneed declined to comment to SI. The NBA said the Mavericks had informed the league of the allegations involving Ussery and Sneed.

“This alleged conduct runs counter to the steadfast commitment of the NBA and its teams to foster safe, respectful and welcoming workplaces for all employees,” the league

The Mavericks have hired outside counsel to investigate allegations of inappropriate conduct by former team president Terdema Ussery in a Sports Illustrated report that described a hostile workplace for women. Cuban told the magazine that the team was establishing a hotline for counseling and support services for past and current employees. He is mandating sensitivity training for all employees, himself included. said. “Such behavior is completely unacceptable and we will closely monitor the independent investigation into this matter.”

The Mavericks said Wednesday they hired Evan Krutoy and Anne Milgrim to lead the independent investigation.

Krutoy served as a prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for over 20 years and served as Acting Deputy Bureau Chief of the Sex

Crimes Unit. Milgrim is a professor at New York University School of Law, and a former former New Jersey attorney general.

SI contacted six female former Mavericks or American Airlines Center employees who claimed they left the sports sector because of a structure that left them feeling vulnerable and devalued while protecting powerful men who misbehaved.

A male former depart-

ment head said there was “built-in protection for a lot of men.”

A woman who had recently been hired as a support staffer said Ussery made sexually suggestive remarks to her in the media dining room before a game during the 2010-11 season, when the Mavericks won their only NBA championship. The woman said she had been told by others to be wary of Ussery.

“Obviously there’s a problem in the Mavericks organization and we’ve got to fix it,” Cuban told the magazine. “I’m embarrassed, to be honest with you, that it happened under my ownership, and it needs to be fixed.”

Two women claimed the Ussery harassed them for years, incidents that ranged from inappropriate remarks to requests for sex to touching women’s calves and thighs during

meetings.

Ussery had left Nike to join the Mavericks and had previously served as commissioner of the old Continental Basketball Association. He was praised by former NBA Commissioner David Stern and served as the Mavericks’ alternate governor with the league.

“I am deeply disappointed that anonymous sources have made such outright false and inflammatory accusations against me,” Ussery said. “During my nearly 20-year tenure with the Mavericks, I am not aware of any sexual harassment complaints about me or any findings by the organization that I engaged in inappropriate conduct.”

Ussery said he had raised concerns about other Mavericks employees who he said engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct and the organization didn’t address those concerns.

“I believe these misleading claims about me are part of an attempt to shift blame for the failure to remove employees who created an uncomfortable and hostile work environment within the Mavericks organization,” Ussery said Cuban told the magazine that the team was establishing a hotline for counseling and support services for past and current employees. He is mandating sensitivity training for all employees, himself included.

White nationalist is latest to sue over social media

By Paul Elias Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — A prominent white nationalist is suing Twitter for banning his accounts at a time when social networks are trying to crack down on hateful and abusive content without appearing to censor unpopular opinions.

Jared Taylor filed the lawsuit Tuesday in state court in San Francisco, marking the latest legal challenge filed by rightwing groups and figures banned from social media sites.

Taylor is the founder of the Virginia-based New Century Foundation, an IRS-classified charity that operates the American Renaissance online magazine. The magazine touts a philosophy that it’s “entirely normal” for whites to want to be a majority race.

Twitter suspended the accounts of well-known white nationalists in December, saying it was enforcing new rules aimed at reducing abusive content. Social media sites are under increasing public pressure to quickly flag and ban abusive, hateful and bullying posts by

In a March 2015 file photo, U.S. writer Jared Taylor, author of the book “White Identity” speaks during the International Russian Conservative Forum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Taylor is suing Twitter for banning his account amid the company’s recent crackdown on content it deems abusive. He filed the lawsuit Tuesday in a San Francisco state court. Taylor joins a growing list of extreme right wing groups and figures suing social media sites for banning their accounts and content. some of their billions of users.

Twitter’s new policy addresses hateful images or symbols, including those attached to user profiles. The company said its monitors now view

hateful imagery in the same way as graphic violence and adult content, which have been banned since the company’s inception.

Taylor said Twitter informed him via email on

Dec. 18 that it was suspending his account and one in the magazine’s name, alleging they violated the company’s user agreement barring affiliations with “a violent extremist group.” Twitter

didn’t name the extremist group, Taylor said.

Taylor denies that he and his organization advocate violence or associate with groups that do. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and the restoration of Taylor’s accounts.

Twitter declined to comment on his lawsuit and accounts.

Similar challenges have been filed in California. Conservative activist Charles Johnson has a lawsuit against Twitter pending in a Fresno court after he was banned in 2015. The nonprofit Prager University is suing Google in Los Angeles federal court, alleging YouTube wrongfully censored some of its politically conservative content.

Some of those who have been banned complain that social networks are unfairly blocking legitimate speech and stifling their public outreach.

Taylor alleged in his lawsuit that Twitter’s ban has dealt a “crippling blow” to New Century Foundation fundraising.

Politically conservative Twitter users filled social media sites Wednesday with complaints that they lost thousands of followers amid a “purge” of

suspected Russian bots.

“TwitterLockOut” became a top trending topic in the U.S. for several hours.

Richard Spencer, a white nationalist with more than 80,000 followers, tweeted that he’s “lost close to 1,000” of them over the past few hours and that there was a “major purge underway.” Hours later, though, he posted again that his followers were “creeping back up.”

“Apparently, there was a mass demand to verify accounts with phone numbers, not exactly a purge,” he said.

It came after Robert Mueller, the U.S. special counsel, charged 13 Russians on Friday in a plot to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election through social media propaganda.

In a statement, Twitter said its tools are “apolitical, and we enforce our rules without political bias.”

The company estimates that about 5 percent of its accounts are spam or malicious bots. Twitter uses automation and employees to purge malicious accounts, though it can amount to a game of “whack-a-mole” as new accounts pop up.

Fast food is coming to your doorstep, but it can cost more

By Joseph Pisani AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — It’s never been easier to get burgers, burritos and other items from fast-food chains delivered to your doorstep.

But the convenience can hurt your wallet.

More fast-food companies have been offering delivery by teaming up with food-ordering apps, many of which charge fees or other added-on costs. The chains see delivery as another way to boost sales, but for customers, it can turn a typically cheap meal into a pricier one.

“If you’re not careful, your fees can add up to be more than the cost of the food,” says Sara Skirboll, a shopping and trends

expert at deal site RetailMeNot. Fast food companies typically use several online ordering services, and their fees and rules differ, so you’ll need to do some research on your own to know what you are spending. Here’s what to look out for:

Fees With Those Fries

Many apps charge delivery fees, and the amount can differ widely depending on the city you live and app you’re using. Online ordering apps charged fees ranging from $1 to as much as $11, according to a report last month from analysts at investment bank Mizuho.

Typically, the app will tell you what the fee amount is before paying.

Another thing to look out for: surge pricing. Uber Eats, which delivers for McDonald’s, and Postmates, which has partnered with burrito chain Chipotle, charge more during busy ordering times. Both companies notify users that they will be charged more for delivery before they pay.

And both companies say they need surge pricing in order to give delivery people more incentive to deliver for them when more customers are placing orders.

Some apps may charge more for menu items than they cost if you walked into the restaurant. Uber Eats, Postmates and

Some apps will offer discount codes, especially if you’re ordering for the first time. So before you make an order, do an internet search for the app along with the words “coupon code.” Sites such as RetailMeNot and Groupon may have codes to save you money. Also, some might offer deals for future orders if you post about the service on social media, Skirboll says.

Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: My psychiatrist’s office called and left a very sensitive voicemail about my bulimia on a message machine shared with other individuals.

Our voicemails are sent transcribed to everyone’s email accounts.

Since my complaint (which was an argument during which the nurse who left the private information hung up on me), human resources and the office manager have contacted me to try to alleviate the tension, but I have received no apology from anyone for violating HIPAA or embarrassing me. Should I throw in the towel and find a new doctor or revoke my contact information from their files? I don’t know how to proceed from here.

PERSONAL TO PUBLIC

DEAR PERSONAL: If you provided a shared phone number as your point of contact, you should not have blamed the person who left the message for using it. I see no reason to change doctors, but you should definitely alter your client information so this doesn’t happen in the future.

That said, does your psychiatrist know one of his/her employees hung up on you? If not, the doctor should be informed, and you should be offered an apology.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: As guardians of our 5-year-old grandson, we have been given all rights, no terms. He has a father who is “on again, off again” and makes zero financial contribution. I want to cut him off because consistency and effort are important to me, and he shows none.

My husband, on the other hand, says the boy is young, and I should give his father some

time because contact once every other month is better than none at all. Our grandson enjoys him when he is here, but he doesn’t miss him or ask for him once he’s left. Should I allow this inconsistency and instability to continue?

PARENTS AGAIN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR PARENTS AGAIN: I think your husband is right. While the father’s presence may be sporadic, at least your grandson knows that he is cared about. As he grows older, he may or may not start asking why his dad isn’t around more. Deal with it then.

The boy’s stability is coming from the home you and your husband are providing for him, and that should be your focus.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from

Heloise King Features Syndicate Dear Readers: Spring is around the corner — time to think about getting the exterior of your home in good shape. Here are some areas to focus on: • The air conditioner compressor (the outdoor unit) should be swept and have no leaves or debris around it.

• Get your entire AC unit(s) serviced before the really hot weather hits.

• Your door screens should be clean and free of rips/tears.

• Power-washing the outside of your home, including the walkways and driveways, is not a bad idea. Go in with a neighbor to rent a unit in order to save money.

• Trees and shrubs should not be against the house; this is a perfect conduit for critters to get up on the roof. Trim all greenery.

Use these hints to get your home looking sharp for spring and summer!

Heloise HHHHH

Jacqueline Bigar

Dear Heloise: I like to save energy in the kitchen. Here are some hints I use: The gasket on the refrigerator should fit snugly. If a dollar bill can slip through, the gasket needs to be replaced.

Foods in the freezer will stay colder if the freezer is full. I pack the items close together, too. Also, vacuuming the coils of the refrigerator is critical.

I have a dog, so I really need to keep the coils clean — he sheds!

Regarding the oven, it’s really necessary to preheat the oven for only five minutes, and you can shut the oven off 10 minutes before the food is done.

I hope these hints can help!

Randy B. in Los Angeles HHHHH Dear Heloise: I’m a teacher, and I remind my students to sneeze or cough into their elbow, not into their hands.

Sneezed-upon hands can then touch anything and anybody — germs can spread. A sneeze caught in the elbow is cut off at the pass.

Your Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Your possessive side emerges when dealing with a financial matter. Stay on top of your to-do list, or else you’ll need to adjust your plans.

Opportunities knock on your door that you won’t want to say “no” to.

Your organization might determine how you proceed. Tonight: Hang out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your upbeat attitude melts others’ negativity and opens up several opportunities. Friends support you in taking the next step toward pursuing a long-desired goal. You feel more positive than you have in quite a long time. Tonight: Get into some spring shopping.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might want to do some thinking about your next choice or action. Planning your day contributes to even more possibilities. Deal with a partner directly, especially when handling a money matter. Opportunities knock on your door. Tonight: Accept someone’s invitation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the morning to focus on what you want to do. Associates and friends are likely to be your cheerleaders and supporters. Later in the day, you might find that a partner is easily irritated. Detach for a while, until you both calm down. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Demands push you into the limelight, which you can handle and actually even might like. With this activity comes a lot of responsibility. You might want to rearrange your schedule in order to be as effective as possible. Reschedule a personal appointment. Tonight: Head home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Be willing to take a leap of faith. Consider what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes before you decide to head in a new direction.

If your insecurities keep encouraging you to back off, you might need more time to think. Tonight: Accept the limelight gracefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You often relate to a loved one on a one-on-one level. Together, you make a strong and insightful combo.

Make it OK to tap into your imagination. Reach out to someone who always adds a fresh perspective. You will have to do some heavy thinking.

Tonight: Reach for the stars!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Defer to others for now, and understand that they need to see their ideas become a reality. The results might not be what they had anticipated. You express yourself with clarity and demonstrate the ability to see situations differently. Tonight: Respond to a friend playfully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Breeze into the morning with determination to complete some errands. Your perspective about a financial matter could change after a conversation with a partner. Your instincts come through for you if you aren’t sure which way to turn.

Tonight: Sort through your invitations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Some people think of you as a stick in the mud. Today you’ll give these people a reason to reassess their judgments. Your creativity allows you to approach an important project differently. Uncertainty surrounding this project might cause you to walk away from it. Tonight: Out late.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Stay anchored. You know what is good for you, and you know which way you need to go. You might opt to work from home and handle a problem from there. With you less available, others will make more of an effort to bypass a hassle. Tonight: Get into weekend mood ASAP! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have the ability to speak your mind in a way that triggers others’ thoughts. Choose the most effective and powerful method of achieving results and drawing in supporters. Take the time to consider where someone else is coming from. Tonight: Make it a cozy night at home.

Dear Readers: It’s been almost two months since New Year’s — how are you doing with your fitness resolutions? Here are some hints to keep you motivated: Find a fitness activity that you like to do or would like to learn. How about a dance class, spin class or biking outside (if the weather allows)?

Find a buddy to keep you accountable. It’s more fun with a friend; you can encourage each other.

Every week or so, treat yourself to a new piece of workout equipment, a new download of dance tunes or a cute workout outfit. There are some fun pieces out there; just remember not to blow the budget!

Enjoy your journey to fitness, and take the time to appreciate that you are getting stronger, fitter and healthier!

Heloise HHHHH Dear Heloise: I slice an onion ring about an inch tall and place it in a skillet with some oil. Then I crack an egg inside the onion ring — this makes a “guide” for the egg shape, and is perfect for making egg sandwiches.

The onion also gives a nice flavor to the egg.
