Woman claims no memory of murder ‘Poisoned chicken’ potentially led to fatal argument, defendant says

By Trevier Gonzalez Roswell Daily Record

As two court appearances have passed since 41-year-old Marcella Reese was charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon Monday, both the defendant and police have released further details on the stabbing that left one man with a severe laceration and a woman dead.

During an arraignment before Chaves County Magistrate Judge K.C. Rogers Tuesday afternoon, Reese was informed of the charges against her for the murder of 46-year-old Charlotte Byrd and aggravated battery to 55-year-old Nigel Murray.

“Even if I don’t remember what happened?” Reese spoke out to the judge.

R ee se was ad v ised n ot to

speak out again by Rogers.

On Wednesday afternoon, an expedited motion hearing for pretrial detention was held before judge James M. Hudson in Chaves County District Court.

Deputy district attorney Matt Stone, joined by assistant district attorney Lance Jaggers, informed Hudson there would only be one witness — Detective Gino T. Basile of the Roswell Police Department — to testify against Reese in determining if any conditions of release should be set.

Public defender Jared Kallunki represented Reese.

Reese, who has been in custody at the Chaves County Detention Center, appeared responsive throughout — though no clear emotion could be read from her face.

City urged to reconsider zoning ordinances

By Alison Penn Roswell Daily Record

The City of Roswell received a letter via email urging the City to reject proposed zoning changes that would impact the local homeless population.

The letter was from New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty (NMCLP), American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico (ACLU-NM) and Disability Rights New Mexico (DRNM). The letter said Articles 19 and 20 in the zoning code would restrict homeless shelters to two acres, which NMCLP said is not present in speci-

fied zones in the zoning maps, which require an eight-foot fence, and with zoning 500 feet from residential areas.

The letter also says this means the city intends to prevent homeless shelters from operating in Roswell. The letter can be read on the website nmpovertylaw.org.

“The fact that the City would propose such an exclusionary ordinance is really troubling because it leaves no way to meet the need,” Sovereign Hager, the managing attorney with NMCLP, said. “At the same time, they are being expelled

Congressional candidate talks County commission recommends local issues during Roswell visit changes requested by businesses

A key Congressional seat representing southern New Mexico is up for grabs, and a Las Cruces Democrat said she would bring the focus back to local communities if elected.

Water attorney and New Mexico native Xochitl Torres Small visited Roswell Wednesday to meet with supporters for the second time since announcing her candidacy in January for the state’s District 2 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

During a year when a question exists about whether Congress will remain in the control of Republicans, the seat has opened up as Rep. Steve

“It’s about those issues that hit the pocketbook and the kitchen table as opposed to what gets the national news or is the best tweet,” says water attorney Xochitl Torres Small of Las Cruces, who hopes to turn New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District seat blue. She has one opponent in the Democratic primary. Four Republicans also are running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Steve Pearce (R-Hobbs).

The Chaves County Planning and Zoning Commission has made some recommendations that would allow a couple of businesses to go forward with their plans.

The applications still require a vote by the Chaves County Board of Commissioners, scheduled to hear the matters at the group’s April 19 meeting.

Three Planning and Zoning Commission members — Jerry Wagner, Chair Dale Rogers and Andy Morley — decided at their Tuesday evening meeting to recommend the special use permit requested by J and H Services Inc. for a Hagerman property and a rezoning request by a trucking business for a Hagerman parcel now zoned agricultural.

Chaves County Planning and Zoning Director Marlin Johnson told commissioners that neither request had garnered objections from other county agencies or by neighboring property owners. The rezoning notification, he added, had been sent to property owners in a larger area than required.

The special use permit for two or three years involves property on East Chickasaw

Road, about a half a mile from U.S. 285, that is part of a large agricultural parcel.

J & H Services Inc. seeks to use the Hagerman property to establish a business that supplies asphalt hot mix and aggregates to the construction industry, said Project Manager Jana Lessard.

“We believe we can be a great impact to this community and this county,” Lessard said, who explained that the company has contracts in Carlsbad and Eddy County and with state agencies and hopes to expand its operations in the area.

The second request has broader implications, whether a certain area in the county now zoned agricultural can have commercial and industrial businesses.

The specifics of the case involve 40 acres on a private road, Bronzite Road, about 500 feet from U.S. 285, in Hagerman.

Johnson said the general area has been identified by Chaves County Comprehensive Land Use Plan as intended for future industrial area. He also said other properties in the area already have been approved for business uses.

“There is a need for areas that can be zoned for these types of industrial uses,” Johnson said, “particularly small- to medi-

Though Basile was not the case agent for the affidavit made by police of a stabbing report at 314 S. Birch Ave. Apt. A at about 8:25 p.m. on March 26, his narrative of the events was consistent with RPD detective Robert Scribner’s original report.

“Detective Scribner got briefed by officer (Trevis) Reese and officer (Chance) Cavin — they were the first two officers on scene,” Basile said. “Officer Reese made some comments about who was being stabbed, who stabbed who, Marcella Reese had mentioned that ‘we all did this’ when asked who stabbed (her).”

Stone then asked how Basile learned of the events on South Birch.

“Everything I learned was given from officer Reese, to Scribner, to myself, and to you,” he responded.

Basile stated Byrd, Murray and Reese were all living together at the apartment and that the relationship between Byrd and Reese was a romantic one. The detective then described the scene based off of the statement from Johnny Norris, Byrd’s brother.

Norris, who made the 911 call, had entered the apartment after Byrd asked him to bring a lighter via text message

as Reese had apparently taken hers.

Norris had described the scene to police with Murray laying in the corner bleeding and appearing to have been stabbed and that Reese had jumped up from the couch and said, “Cuz, he tried to stab me.”

Norris did not see Byrd at the time, Basile added.

“He went to his apartment, which is just around the corner, kind of the same apartment complex,” Basile said. “(He) went to grab his cellphone, which he did not have on him at the time.

(He) called 911 and that’s when officers were dispatched to the scene.”

Basile told Stone, the last he knows, Murray is unconscious, but in stable condition at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center (ENMMC).

Reese was also transferred to ENMMC at the time of the incident.

Stone then asked if police had the opportunity to speak with her.

“It was approximately two to three days later,” Basile said. “She was finally at the point where she was able to speak — she was in a medically induced coma for a day or two.”

Basile said, after she was read her Miranda Rights at the medical center, she agreed to give a statement to police.

“She told us that Charlotte (Byrd) was making some sort of chicken dish

for dinner,” Basile said.

“She had asked if she could have some, Charlotte said yes. Marcella (Reese) then decided she believed that she was poisoned from something that Charlotte put in the chicken.

“The next thing she remembers is they were in an argument, and Charlotte was sitting at the couch, and the knife was on the table. Charlotte grabbed the knife. Somehow, Marcella got the knife from Charlotte, and then Charlotte ended up getting cut.

“She was unsure where she was cut, and that was pretty much the extent of her statement.”

Basile said no physical injuries were observed from Reese.

Kallunki later cross-examined Basile, who questioned what took place after the alleged poisoned chicken statement, though his answer repeated much of what he had already said.

Basile was unaware of Reese’s criminal history.

The blood was most concentrated in one area, on the “north” armrest of the couch at the home, the detective told Kallunki.

“Which is where Charlotte Byrd was when officer Reese came into the apartment,” Basile explained. “At that time, she was actually sitting on the floor, hunched up, onto the side of the side of the couch. Officer Reese

Roswell Daily Record

laid her down to attend to her — to try to attempt CPR.” Basile said blood was on Reese’s hands — though he was unable to tell if it was a large or small amount, as he knew this from police lapel video.

Kallunki then asked if it was plausible for Murray, the stabbing victim, to be the one to have committed the violent actions. “(It’s) highly unlikely, given Mr. Murray’s condition — having a prior stroke — half of his body was practically paralyzed,” Basile said.

When asked how he would know that, Basile said the knowledge of Murray’s physical limitations came from Norris.

Kallunki then asked if it was possible for Norris to have committed the actions. Basile stated he had no suspicion of Norris committing any of the actions.

Basile later added, given the condition of the apartment when police arrived, were no signs of a fight.

After police interviewed Reese at ENMMC, Basile stated Reese had been admitted into Sunrise Mental Health Center as she had made statements to a nurse she wanted to kill herself.

Basile said he believes she was sent to the hospital due to claims that she was poisoned.

According to a news release from the RPD Tuesday, Reese was hos-

pitalized for treatment of conditions believed to be related to her apparent intoxication.

After further questioning from Stone, the deputy DA stated to Hudson no conditions of release should be made for Reese.

Hudson, referring to Reese’s lack of criminal history, asked Stone to explain why the court should not consider other options.

“Even with a GPS monitor, they don’t stop somebody from going somewhere,” Stone said. “We find that out after the fact, essentially.”

Kallunki mentioned how Reese has an aunt living in a different area in Roswell, and how Reese could stay with her as he explained why the defendant should be given consideration for some conditions of release.

“Reece subjects herself to any conditions the court saw fit to impose upon her,” Kallunki ended.

After the court broke for a brief recess, Hudson mentioned how he had considered detective Basile’s testimony, the prosecution’s petition, the affidavit and Reese’s lack of criminal history.

“This case is somewhat different because Ms. Reese does not have a prior criminal history,” Hudson explained. “I think that the evidence shows, that, given the nature of these proceedings, the violence involved

evidence by nature of the injuries suffered both by Ms. Byrd, who died from those wounds and Mr. Murray — a life may still be in somewhat danger — but at least it was a rather extensive, potentially life-threatening injuries — the apparent possession and use of a weapon that belonged to and was seen with the defendant shortly before these incidents.

“I do find that Ms. Reese does — may likely pose a threat to the safety of others if released, pending trial.”

Hudson had also referenced Stone’s prior statement of how imposing some conditions of release could lead to difficulties.

“There (are) no conditions of release that would reasonably protect the safety of others,” Hudson said. “Therefore, I’ll find that the state has proved clear and convincing evidence that the defendant poses a threat to others of the community, and that no conditions of release will reasonably protect the safety of any other person in the community.

“The defendant shall be detained, pending trial, and shall not be allowed release on any condition.”

A preliminary examination for Reese is set for Wednesday in magistrate court.

from areas where they are camping and sleeping in public places.”

Coalition and City responses

Jeneva Martinez, former president of the Roswell Homeless Coalition and current member on the board of directors, said the NMCLP knew more about the legal aspects behind the ordinance and that the letter to the City was a collaborative process. To citizens, Martinez said it is their job to express personal opinions on what should be done about homelessness to their City Councilors.

“We are more of the advocacy and hands-on,” Martinez said. “We want to just make sure that we have space when we outgrow the two shelters — which will happen very quickly. We had a vision that we passed to the City previously. In regards to that, yes — it did start off as a tent city. That was phase one that went on to phase two and phase three. Phase three would be our community center and our shelter that would actually be able to provide space for families and for couples. That’s our ultimate goal.”

Mayor Dennis Kintigh said he was surprised to receive the letter and wished the Roswell Homeless Coalition would have continued the conversation with the City staff.

Mayor Kintigh said this item was up for authorization to advertise for a future public meeting and action, not a vote at this month’s City Council meeting.

Planning Manager Bill Morris said the item has been pulled from the agenda for Thursday’s meeting. Morris said the City will take time to assess the ordinances and see what will need to be done. If there are significant changes that need to be made in the language, Morris said the process will start over.

The letter said the following statement: “Instead of addressing the severe lack of housing and shelter in Roswell, the City chose instead to make the status of being unhoused a crime for the large number of people sleeping outside within the city limits, particularly the Berrendo riverbed. The City of Roswell’s continued efforts to criminalize homelessness by issuing citations to people who sleep or otherwise occupy public places violates the First, Eighth, and 14th Amendments.”

Impact of ordinance

Mayor Kintigh said the intention of this ordinance was not to exclude the homeless and that the City Attorney will examine the letter, share and discuss his conclusion with the City Manager, and subsequently the governing body will explore future courses of action.

“I think that there are some differences of opinion,” Morris said regarding the impact of the ordinance. “But I don’t know for sure until we sit down

and go through it. We’ve been looking at this language for a long time.

They’ve raised some issues and we’ll do our due diligence — and then we’ll reassess where we are at.

If it requires revisions to the proposed text, so be it.”

NMCLP is a statewide advocacy center for residents with the lowest income and is extremely worried about the impact of this ordinance, according to Hager. She said the organization has found data that two-thirds of the homeless in Roswell have mental and/or physical impairments and these disabilities are part of the reason for homelessness, which adds to the importance of transitional housing. The letter said last year’s Chaves County Point-In-Time Report listed 120 individuals experiencing homelessness, 85 of which reported a mental or physical disability. The data was provided by the Roswell Homeless Coalition and utilized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

For a city to exclude or restrict transitional housing through an ordinance is highly illegal, according to Hager, because the City is not offering an alternative and this action is discriminatory in nature against people with disabilities. Hager said it is well known that the current shelters do not meet the needs of the current homeless population.

“While it (the ordinance) does not say ‘people with disabilities shall not have housing,’ that is the impact it has,” Hager said. “Courts have been very clear that when the ordinance has an impact that is disproportionately (against) the disabled, that is discriminatory and it violates the Fair Housing Act. It violates our state and federal constitution.”

City’s backyard

“Roswell has had the whole ‘not in our backyard’ mentality,” Martinez said. “When we are not addressing this issue and not sheltering people, it is in everyone’s backyard.”

Hager said it is a shared responsibility to help those in the community that are facing homelessness and the community must look to their city, state and federal government to assist in providing solutions for transitional housing and programs.

Hager said such a facility in Roswell would benefit the whole community by providing for these basic needs. “(The) thing we are most concerned about, which I think is the same thing that the community in Roswell is concerned about, is making sure that people are not homeless and that there is a path for reducing homelessness in Roswell,” Hager said. “The ordinance prevents that from happening. Despite the fact it is illegal for many different reasons — the bottom line is it prevents the City from meeting the needs of people experiencing home-

lessness and will prevent the City from reducing homelessness.

“This does not answer the problem that the community is grappling with and I know the people of Roswell want to address it. That’s why we wrote the letter. We really hope that the City Council and City Attorney will be able to consider what we have written and work with the community to come up with real solutions.”

Working together

“What we are striving to do is to create an environment where we could work with the Homeless Coalition — because there is currently nowhere in the city that you could have the temporary structures that the homeless coalition is advocating (for),” Kintigh said. “This was an attempt to carve that out. That’s what is disappointing. The City has strived diligently for two years trying to work on this issue. I have a lot of respect for the staff who worked so hard, but unfortunately, there are individuals not interested in that dialogue and that is sad.”

Morris confirmed there is no zoning for a transitional housing project, which is why the City worked hard to provide the industrial district to be an appropriate location at this time for the homeless shelter. Morris said the Rivers of Life location on Bland Street a nonconforming use, which means that the location can provide the original services prior to the zoning codes.

This nonconforming use allows the Homeless Coalition to operate, but the shelter can only remain closed for six months or the preexisting purpose is no longer valid. Morris said the City informed the Homeless Coalition of the nonconforming use, which is why the City was pushing the coalition to have reconstruction plans in motion and on track.

Recognizing the City needs time to review the letter, Hager said the best case scenario would be sparking dialogue between the community and the City, which would lead to a new course of action by the City Council and answers for transitional housing. Hager said the next step would be helping the people within the shelter exit homelessness by providing a place to sleep, eat and use the restroom, which could lead to employment, benefits and more.

“As the Coalition, we want to work with the City,” Martinez said. “We don’t want to work against the City. We know this is new for the City also with new zoning ordinances because we really haven’t tried to address it as a whole. So over the last few years, we have been able to sit at the table and discuss it. We just want to make sure that the options are open for the future plans.”

The impact of creative writing

A4 Friday, April 6, 2018

Opinion

E

veryone in their life has written at least once. It may have been just an essay or even a narrative story.

Today, I am here to explain how writing has helped me and given me an outlet to express my ideas, emotions and improve my life overall.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to read and write.

Narrative is my favorite type of writing and literature. Narrative can be defined as a story or a series of events told through writing. I enjoy these because I can create a whole world the way I would like it to be, and how I would like the people to act in that world. It gives me an outlet to express emotion and my creative side. According to an article from McDaniel College Writing Center, “One of the first benefits is that it helps to develop creative problem-solving skills. Creative writing is an exercise in solving problems, either for the characters within the story, or for the author themselves.” This is what

Shayleigh Hernandez Millennial Voices I was trying to explain when I said it helps me express my emotions. When I am personally having a difficult problem in my life, I try to write a character going through the same thing. The process of making the character try and find a solution helps me find a resolution for my own problem.

Creative writing has given me the ability to gain problem solving skills. It not only has helped me personally, but it has also helped me when my friends have problems as well.

Another way creative writing has helped me is that it gave me a higher vocabulary and knowl-

edge base. I know you are wondering how does writing help you learn new words and use them properly in an author’s work.

Well, the answer comes from how many ways an author can bring an event or a feeling across. For example, another quote from the McDaniel College Writing Center says, “Well, there’s mean, of course, but there are also words like malevolent and malicious and cruel, which all help to paint a more accurate picture of whatever it is that the writer is trying to portray. Once the writer knows these words, they aren’t likely to ever be forgotten.” I remember that I never knew what the word jovial meant until I used the word to describe a character who just got a new job that he loved.

Jovial means to be very happy.

Having a higher level of vocabulary has helped me to communicate in certain papers, such as a research paper I am doing right now that requires me to know an extensive vocabulary to properly convey my evidence. In gener-

Roswell Daily Record

al, the process of having to learn vocabulary to make my writing better has helped me outside of the creative realm.

The last way creative writing has helped me is that I now know what my strengths and weaknesses are. A quote from Writing Forward says, “When you know that your writing skills have a solid foundation, it’s easier to accept that you still have work to do.” It is nice to know when you have something down in writing and you can improve it until it is perfect. My main strength is using descriptive words to please a reader’s five senses. Of course, every person has their weak spots. Another quote from Writing Forward says, “No matter how good your writing is now, there are things you can do to improve it.” That goes for me as well. I have two major things that I can work on as a writer.

One is my character development and two is my use of dialogue in a story. Forcing myself to write stories with those elements has

helped me improve and that’s why I love creative writing. I know other writers try and not do pieces where they have weaknesses in and I am even guilty of this.

I tried to stay away from poems because I knew I wasn’t good at them. This semester, I took a creative writing class. Now, I am stronger writing poems. The moral is to not avoid your weaknesses, but to take them on in full force.

In conclusion, creative writing isn’t as scary as it seems.

You can create anything and put yourself into a piece and show the world. I urge you to try and write a story and see where it takes you.

Guest Editorial

King called on us to ‘See the Stars’

The Northwest Florida Daily News

In his last public preaching in the Mason Temple in Memphis, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that, despite the turmoil of the 1960s, he was nevertheless grateful to be alive in that tumultuous time of racial segregation, poverty and war.

“Now that’s a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up,” King said on the night before he was slain.

“The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land. Confusion all around,” he added.

Those words resonate today.

It is impossible to know what King would think about the state of our nation. But it is possible he would be astounded and elated by the progress the United States and its people have made, though dismayed and troubled by lingering racism, inequality, persistent poverty and violence.

Yet, if his own words offer any guide, King would have remained determined and hopeful. As he said in Memphis, “I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.”

His murder cast darkness over the nation and doubt on the value of nonviolent protest.

Despite the setbacks he had faced, and the challenges the Civil Rights Movement would encounter, on his last night King chose to see the potential for good: “I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding -- something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up.”

Men, and women, were indeed responding, because they were motivated

by King’s resounding call for a peaceful movement based on biblical principles.

The masses in America were rising up in pursuit of the long-delayed recognition of a revolutionary idea — that all men are created equal, including blacks and other people of color, as well as the poor.

King’s unique vision and ability to articulate it made him a seminal figure in American history. He was, in many ways, a radical — challenging not only laws but social norms. He equally challenged both white and black churches for their failures to crusade for justice and against violence, and was criticized by many of his own people for being too patient and reliant on peaceful resistance.

That King was despised by so many white Americans, in particular, is ironic: He was the nation’s best hope for change without violence.

Of course, legions of Americans, of all colors, countered that hatred and placed their hope in King and his message — and created progress.

During that speech in Memphis, King said: “Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge, to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.”

Fifty years later, that message, that challenge and that opportunity endure.

Free speech takes another hit F

ox News host Laura Ingraham has apologized, as has the network, for nothing more serious than her tweet: “David Hogg rejected by four colleges to which he applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA ... totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

The 17-year-old Hogg, a survivor of the February 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, is the new face of the anti-gun movement, having achieved overnight victim status, reserved, apparently, only for those on the left, which supposedly insulates him from criticism.

Hogg rejected Ingraham’s apology and called her a “bully.”

Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me?” If Hogg thinks he is being bullied by Ingraham, how would he react to a real bully, the kind who punches you in the face?

Instead of adopting a “poor me” stance, Hogg should have asked to appear on Ingraham’s show where the two could have debated the issues. He didn’t make this request; instead

Thomas Syndicated Columnist he swiped at Ingraham in the media. Isn’t there something a little cowardly about that?

I first met Laura Ingraham in the early ‘80s when she was a student at Dartmouth College. Even then she was smart, articulate and opinionated. She and two male colleagues got into a battle with the college administration over a student publication called “The Dartmouth Review.” The conservative campus newspaper often satirized the growing political correctness movement, including attempts by the school to remove its Native American mascot.

Laura is a kind, compassionate woman and a practicing Roman Catholic. She is a single mother of three adopted children who might have experienced a far different life without her. She is also a breast cancer survivor.

The left says things far worse than what she tweeted about David Hogg. My hate mail makes her remarks seem tame by comparison, but I don’t demand apologies. I can take it.

Speaking of comparisons, recall what Joy Behar said on ABC’s “The View” about Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith. She mocked his beliefs and suggested they might reflect a mental illness.

Apparently under similar pressure from ABC, Behar apologized on the air and went further, calling the vice president and apologizing to him directly, which he graciously accepted.

In an interview with The Outline, Hogg spewed the worst profanities and insulted parents, who he thinks are stupid because they are not fluent in social media. Where is parental discipline when it’s needed most? If he were my kid and behaved as he does, he’d be grounded. If the behavior continued, he’d have to find somewhere else to live.

Some sponsors have pulled their commercials from Ingraham’s show, as some did after Behar’s insulting remark.

This is the wrong approach.

Instead of boycotts and threats,

Roswell Daily Record

how about celebrating the First Amendment by encouraging people to say what they think?

Then viewers can decide whether to “buy” what a program is selling or change channels.

That was what the left said to do in the 1980s when conservatives were upset by some TV programming. “If you don’t like it, change the channel,” they said. If that was an option then, why isn’t it an option now?

Debate is better than boycotts and pressure, egged on by groups that raise funds from this type of controversy. The country and its politics would benefit from genuine debate, rather than attempts to silence people with whom we might disagree.

Let David Hogg speak his immature mind and let Laura Ingraham have her say. And then let them debate each other, assuming Hogg doesn’t want to adopt another role, that of coward.

Imagination Station helping to improve reading program

By Steve Hansen The Communicator SANTA ROSA — The kids are having fun.

There are animated cartoon bears, mice and other critters on their computer screens and, when they pick the right response, “the magic happens,” in the words of Santa Rosa Elementary kindergartner Aaron Romero.

Aaron has to choose answers that begin with the letter “H,” he explains, to make the magic.

It’s fun, Aaron says.

How does he think he’s doing?

“Good,” he says.

He’s reading “H” words on the computer-screen, which are being read aloud into his headphones, so he’s associating the letter with the sound.

Around him, other kindergartners are interacting with cartoon critters on computer screens under the eyes of their teacher Michelle Lucero and her educational assistant, Jamie Esupinar.

They think they’re playing games, but they’re learning to read.

They are using the Imagination Station (Istation) program prescribed by the New Mexico Public Education Department for students in grades K-3. It’s optional for students in fourth or fifth grade, and Santa Rosa and Anton Chico elementary schools are using Istation, the product of a

Dallas, Texas-based company, with students at all grades.

And it seems to be working.

The number of kindergartners reading at grade level has jumped 33 percent since September, the March summary of Istation results shows.

First-graders have demonstrated a 16 percent improvement; second-graders, up 26 percent; third-graders, up 4 percent; fourth-graders, up 5 percent; and fifth-graders, up 23 percent.

There are declines in the number of students whose reading levels fall short of grade level, according to the March report.

The number of students whose reading is moderately below grade level has fallen in all grades by rates ranging from 2 percent to 20 percent in all grades. The number whose reading is severely below grade level has declined by rates ranging from 1 percent to 13 percent across the grades.

Susan Zamora, the reading intervention specialist for the Santa Rosa Consolidated School District, says the combination of Istation and the district’s own “common formative assessments” program of monitoring and comparing notes has resulted in big gains in students reading at grade level, an area in which Santa Rosa students and students statewide have fallen short in recent

years.

Zamora credits the Istations’ combination of “graphics, games and music, and praise and recognition” for its success from the kids’ point of view.

While the kids play learning games on the computer screens, Zamora and Santa Rosa Elementary School Principal watch the detailed data th at Istation software accumulates and records on each student.

When students fall behind, that’s when Zamora goes to work, to find out where progress is lagging and finding ways to get students caught up.

Repeating a lesson helps, even if the student is saying “I did this already,” Zamora said, but repeating a lesson can be discouraging.

“That’s something they’re working on,” she says.

Sanchez said the common formative assessment helps if students in one class fall behind in one area in which students in another classroom are doing well. Teachers can compare notes and share ideas that work, Sanchez said.

Many factors are involved in student performance, and an important one is home life, Sanchez said.

To encourage parent involvement, she said, students will carry takeat-home tests as they leave school, and lessons in the Istation program include home activities to

Parental involvement helps in ways parents may not realize, Zamora said.

“When parents track

words while reading to little kids, they are showing them that you read left-toright,” Zamora added.

Sanchez added, “Par-

ents don’t have to have college degrees to help their kids.”

Youth advocacy program spotlights stories of abuse, survival

By John Miller The Taos News

TAOS — Mckenzy Jackson, 15, has been spending her nights this year running through her multiplication tables.

Elevens are easy, she said. Nines can be tough, but for those, she’s learned a trick.

She lays her hands in front of her, face down, fingers spread, and works through the problem, “Nine times six.” She counts from the pinky on her left hand to the thumb on her right, which she curls under her palm, revealing the answer, “54.”

She moves on to the next problem.

For every challenge – arithmetic or otherwise – Jackson and many other children in Taos County must account for a variable each year: some form of abuse or neglect.

Whether physical, sexual or emotional, these experiences can have lifelong impacts, but children like Jackson show a determined resilience to rise above what they’ve seen or experienced.

When Jackson was younger, she witnessed her mother, Cruz, fall prey to two types of abuse. Opioid painkillers and then methamphetamine consumed Cruz for years. Then, when a violent former partner came back into their lives, Cruz was subjected to serious physical abuse.

On a fall day in 2015, Cruz found herself in the midst of a panic attack and drove herself to Holy Cross Hospital. Diagnosed earlier with post-traumatic stress disorder, she remained on a hospital gurney for hours. She lost track of the time.

Jackson, then 12, waited after school for her mother to pick her up, as she always had.

When she never showed, school officials dialed 911, and a social worker with the Taos Children, Youth and Families Department arrived to take Jackson into their custody.

The worker drove her to the CYFD offices on Gus-

Katharine Egli Photo/The Taos News

McKenzy Jackson waters flowers in her “aunt” Hillary’s home in El Salto on March 27. dorf Road and guided her to a children’s clothing room, where Jackson selected a pair of boots, pants and a jacket.

“She told me I was going with another family,” Jackson remembered.

That night, she arrived outside a house on Upper Las Colonias Road, where she would spend the next year in foster care.

“I was really, really scared because I was going with this family that I didn’t know,” Jackson said.

During her time apart from her mother, she learned how to take fear out of the equation. Meanwhile, Cruz worked tirelessly to beat her addiction and leave her abuser behind.

Little more than a year later, Cruz succeeded and reunited with her daughter.

‘Survive and Thrive’

Theirs is one of several stories that Youth Heartline, a youth advocacy program that serves Taos, Colfax and Union counties, intends to share with the Taos community during the month of April.

Heartline’s “Survive and Thrive” storytelling series starts April 7 at 6 p.m. at the Taos Community Auditorium, featuring several speakers, including Jackson, who will share personal experiences of overcoming the challenges of abuse, neglect and other forms of adversity.

April marks the confluence of three national social awareness campaigns: Child Abuse Prevention Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Crime Victims Rights Week, which is held April 8-14.

Po Chen, a Los Alamos native who took the job as executive director at Youth Heartline in 2014, says all three are related and bear particular importance for the Taos community, where some of the highest rates of child abuse in the state are recorded each year.

“After talking to people who had been here longer than I have,” Chen said, “some of them said they weren’t aware of these aspects of April, so I thought this would be a

nice opportunity to highlight that.”

About nine other people work with Chen to carry out Youth Heartline’s mission, which is “to make life safer and better for vulnerable children and families in our community.”

Chen said that their work has been cut out for them and the other agencies they work with, explaining that the number of children experiencing abuse – either directly or indirectly – remains at an alarming level.

“New Mexico is above the national average for the rate of child abuse,” Chen said. “And the rate of child abuse is defined as the number of unique victims who have substantiated abuse per 1,000 (children).”

According to a report that measured abuse and neglect in New Mexico from July 2015 to June 2016, a total of 38,623 instances of alleged child abuse were reported statewide.

Chen explained that “substantiated” abuse refers to allegations that bear out through corrob-

orating evidence after an investigation is launched, such as drugs found in the home or physical evidence that indicates a child has been battered.

He noted, however, that the symptoms of a child who has been directly battered, versus those who witness abuse, are often similar. In a child, either form of abuse can manifest itself in the form of extreme anxiety, failing to recognize a parent as a safe, secure provider or exhibiting aggressive behaviors of their own.

Across the state, 20,712 reports of child abuse were accepted for investigation, with 5,719 of those substantiated from July 2015 to June 2016.

In Taos, 373 reports were accepted during the same period, resulting in 244 substantiated child victims, about 2 percent of the total number of child victims in the state. The rate of victimization of children in Taos ranked as the fifth highest among the 33 counties in the state, at 32.7 children per 1,000.

Several Heartline employees serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates, who work with abused or neglected children. Many of those children, like Jackson, enter foster care through CYFD and the Taos County court system.

In 2015, Jackson was assigned a CASA worker, Hilary Hart. Jackson had met Hart through one of several youth support programs Heartline operates, Smarthouse, and afterschool program hosted in the Gusdorf Road low-income housing projects.

“It was a relief to see a friendly face,” Jackson remembered.

Hart worked closely with her, ensuring she was getting the help she needed – in school and at the foster home – while her mother worked to regain custody.

Even after Hart left Heartline to pursue a job at a nonprofit two years ago, they’ve remained close friends.

“I just love her, and it’s wonderful having her around,” Hart said.

Jackson still spends five days a week at Hart’s home in El Salto, which Hart shares with her partner, Douglas Goodhart, a local musician and former music professor at San Diego State University.

Goodhart recently started homeschooling Jackson while she makes the transition to Vista Grande High School next fall.

Hart and Goodhart consider their roles in Jackson’s life to be part of a larger system in Taos, one they hope will be increasingly based on a deeper philosophy, where the entire community looks out for its youth.

Chen believes that network is expanding. In that process, he hopes that the rate of abuse will be driven down.

Ensuring that other children don’t fall through the cracks in the meantime, however, that’s another trick.

Her endorsements have come from New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas, Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-Albuquerque) as well as several political groups. Making her first run for public office, she spoke about several issues affecting the region.

• She said she wants to ensure adequate funding for federal early childhood education programs in the area, for programs that connect K12 with community colleges and universities, and for job readiness programs.

• Torres Small talked of the need for programs to reduce crime, substance abuse and domestic violence, especially as those problems affect youth.

• The candidate said she would work to ensure that area Bureau of Land Management offices have adequate staff and resources to process oil and gas permit applications and respond to industry needs.

“Mom, you are deeply loved and forever missed. We will always carry you in our spirit and in our hearts. We love you, mom.”

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me let me go, I have so many things to see and do.

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I traveled on alone.

So grieve a while, for if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near.

And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear All of my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile, and say, “Welcome Home”.

• She talked about her willingness to support hangar expansions at the Roswell International Air Center and her view that the U.S. Air Force should consider local concerns about the impact of a possible expansion of military airspace use in the region. She said an expansion needs to consider effects on commercial airlines, aviation businesses, medical flight services and private pilots who monitor oil and gas lines.

• She characterized the current Justice Department’s decision to prosecute “minor” marijuana law violations as a “misaligned priority.” She said the money and effort would be better focused on addressing the opioid misuse and abuse crisis in the nation and state. She said any consideration of legalizing medical marijuana at the federal level would need to address driving under the influence provisions and possible second-hand impacts on children.

• Torres Small voiced support for comprehensive immigration reform.

5-time world darts champion dies

LONDON (AP) — Eric Bristow, the five-time world darts champion acclaimed as the sport’s first superstar, has died.

He was 60.

The Professional Darts Corporation says Bristow died on Thursday following a heart attack.

The applicant, Yolanda Martinez, told commission members that she has four trucks she intends to park and use on the property.

Before voting to recommend the rezoning application, a couple of commissioners said they had some concerns about property owners who previously had purchased land to build homes on.

Johnson explained that the person who owns most of the property in the area signed the rezoning application and is aware of how people intend to use the land.

“That’s why we have this hearing. That’s why we have zoning,” said Johnson. “To take these issues into account.”

She said that New Mexico agricultural producers, including political conservatives, have for about a decade wanted flexibility to hire immigrant workers as the U.S. pool of agricultural workers shrinks and as the average age of farmers and ranchers rises.

Torres Small’s primary opponent, Hildebrandt, declared her candidacy in January 2017 and has been endorsed by Our Revolution New Mexico, which supports the issues voiced by Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential run, and Tech Solidarity, which represents workers in the tech industry.

She said she became interested in public office after the Women’s March of 2016 and decided to run for the Congressional seat after seeing a small child cry because she was worried about her grandmother from Mexico being deport-

ed. Although she said she is conservative on some issues, including gun ownership, she said she feels a need to stand up for immigrants and Dreamers, children born in the United States to nonU.S. citizens.

“This whole thing, me running for Congress, has never been and is not about me. It has always been about other people,” she said. “For me, it is a moral imperative.”

Hildebrandt said she has visited Roswell several times since starting her campaign and plans a return visit at some point before the primary.

Primary elections are June 5. The general election will occur Nov. 6.

Jury selection wraps up in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial

By Michael R. Sisak Associated Press

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Prosecutors and the defense wrapped up jury selection in the Bill Cosby sexual assault case Thursday, setting the stage for the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.

All six alternates — half of them black — were picked without incident after an earlier showdown over the jury’s racial makeup. Alternate jurors listen to the evidence and testimony, but do not participate in jury deliberations unless called upon to replace jurors on the main panel.

Cosby’s lawyers had accused prosecutors of discrimination for removing a black woman from consideration on the main jury of 12 that will decide the fate of the 80-year-old black comedian.

The district attorney’s office rejected the allegation, noting that prosecutors had no objection to seating two other black people on the jury. The other 10 jurors are white. There are seven men and five women.

Opening statements are scheduled for Monday in a trial that’s expected to last a month.

As he left the courthouse, Cosby thanked a woman who wished him good luck. His spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, urged jurors to remain “fair and impartial,” adding, “We would want them to erase everything they heard outside this courtroom when they come in for Monday.”

Prosecutors didn’t comment on the case Thursday.

Cosby faces three felonies stemming from allegations by a former Temple Uni-

versity women’s basketball administrator who says Cosby, a Temple alum and longtime trustee, gave her pills that made her woozy, then assaulted her at his home in the Philadelphia suburbs in 2004.

Cosby, once revered as “America’s Dad” for his family sitcom “The Cosby Show,” says the encounter was consensual.

The first alternate picked Thursday, a middle-aged black man, said he could set

aside what he’s heard about the Cosby case but hesitated and couldn’t guarantee it when pressed by the judge.

Prosecutors and Cosby’s lawyers nevertheless found him acceptable.

A middle-aged white woman also picked as an alternate said she could put aside her thoughts that Cosby is guilty.

A Philadelphia judge, meanwhile, threw out a former prosecutor’s defamation lawsuit against Cosby’s

and 2006 as part of Constand’s suit against him.

Castor’s lawsuit said Cosby paid Constand “well into the millions of dollars” in a settlement.

Constand’s federal defamation suit against Castor is still active.

The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.

Lady Demons celebrate “homecoming”

By Mike Smith Roswell Daily Record DEXTER - “There’s no place like home.” Just ask the Dexter Lady Demon softball team.

The Lady Demons defeated the Eunice Cardinals 8-2 getting back to District 4-3A play Thursday afternoon.

“This was the first home game since the Lindsey Callaway Tournament, it’s been a very trying three weeks, we’ve had some injuries and they’re fighters and that’s what makes them Lady Demons,” said Kim Smith, Dexter’s head coach.

The last time the Lady Demons played at home was March 24 as they defeated Loving 10-5 in the title game of the home tournament. Since they’ve been away, Dexter has played at Ruidoso, Tularosa and last week in the Artesia Lady Dog Classic.

“I think I forgot how to mark the field. I had to remember how to do it this morning,” Smith said with a chuckle.

The Lady Demons (101), the three-time defending 3A state champions, suffered their first loss of the season last Saturday to the Lady Dogs 6-5.

While Smith may not

have been sure about marking Dexter’s home field, she hasn’t forgotten about winning as the Lady Demons pounded 13 hits in the win over the Cardinals. Senior starting pitcher Bryana Munoz went the distance giving up two hits to the opposition.

“We’re out here to get better every day and our fielding was a lot better today. I thought our intensity was better,” Smith said.

Smith was pleased with Dexter’s execution, especially on the offensive side. She feels hitting is very important if the Lady Demons are to win district and then go back to state for a four-peat.

Smith felt that Eunice was a quality opponent.

She said, “It’s district time.

Everybody brings their best and we stepped up and for the most part, (we) played pretty well today.”

During the first inning, the game was looking promising for the Cardinals as lead off hitter Jaycee Smedley singled.

Munoz, a senior who is bound for the University of Texas at El Paso next year, was able to retire the rest of Eunice’s lineup.

In the bottom of the first, Munoz was able to

Spieth back in his comfort zone at Masters

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods attracted most of the attention. Jordan Spieth caused the most concern.

Opening day at the Masters had a wide-open feel until Spieth hit his stride Thursday afternoon. He saved three straight pars with that superb short game. He ran off three straight birdies to take the lead. And then he fired an 8-iron at the pin on the par-3 16th, letting the club twirl through his hands as he walked away, knowing only that it was another good one. It plopped down 5 feet away.

“You don’t know where it’s going to end up,” he said, “but you know it’s going to be in a good position.”

Spieth took only 10 putts on the back nine. He made five straight birdies, a career best for him in the majors. Even a bogey on the final hole felt like a par the way he navigated out of the trees and limited the damage with a pitch that stopped inches from going in.

That gave him a 6-under 66 and a two-shot lead over Tony Finau and Matt Kuchar.

It was the eighth time in his last 13 rounds at the Masters that Spieth ended a round with the lead.

Given his short history at Augusta National — a victory, two runner-up finishes and a tie for 11th — his name atop the leaderboard gets attention.

Ditto for Woods, except that he has some catching up to do.

BRYAN

Woods failed to birdie any of the par 5s. He was under par one only one hole. He hit a 9-iron into Rae’s Creek. And only a pair of birdies over the last five holes enabled him to scratch out a 73 and at least stay in range, seven shots behind.

“Seventy-three is fine,” Woods said. “By the end of the week, this will be a pretty packed leaderboard the way the golf course is set up. They have it right where they want it. It’s really hard to run away from it, but it’s also really easy to lose it out there.”

Spieth could have built a bigger margin except for his wild tee shot to the left and into the trees on No. 18. Even so, his 66 sent a strong message.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” said Kuchar, who shot 31 on the back nine. “With the round he’s posted, the quality of golfer he is, he’s on some similar form. You can just kind of see good things happening, and particularly for him around here.

His record is spectacular around here.”

Rory McIlroy, needing only a green jacket to compete the career Grand Slam, also took notice. He played in the group ahead of Spieth, and McIlroy was scratching our key par saves just to stay in range.

He was in the large group at 69, the solid start McIlroy needed, especially with how Spieth was going.

It was the first time since 2011 that McIlroy broke 70 in the first round at Augusta.

“Jordan had a pretty strong finish there,” McIlroy said. “But this is my best start in a few years.

JOSH

AP

Jordan Spieth looks over his birdie putt on the 17th green during the first round at the Masters golf tournament Thursday, in Augusta, Ga. It’s such a hard golf course to play catch up on. If you start to chase it around here, that’s when you start to make mistakes. But to be right up there and have the ability to stay patient, because of the position I’m in, that’s a nice luxury I have over the next few days.”

The best comeback? That might now belong to Finau.

Masters, he made a holein-one on the seventh hole of the Par 3 Tournament, raced toward the green to celebrate and as he turned back toward the tee, his left ankle rolled. Finau went down, the ankle contorted, and he popped it into place.

He wasn’t sure he could play until tests showed he was cleared to play.

And he played great, opening with a 68 despite

a short par putt that he missed on the 14th hole.

“I was just extremely happy that nothing was seriously wrong with my foot,” he said. “Quite honestly, it was a pretty cool moment followed by probably one of my most embarrassing moments and a scary moment at the same time. It was quite crazy, all the emotions that I dealt with overnight, but I was

MALCOLM

more than ecstatic to just be walking to that first tee and be playing in my first Masters.”

It was just tough to score, with the greens slick and firm and several tough pin positions, mainly toward the front of the greens. That included the par-5 15th, and no one suffered quite like defending champion Sergio Garcia.

Perez has encouraging start in Rangers’ win

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Texas left-hander Martin Perez had to get a little crafty to keep things from getting out of hand in his first start of the year.

It was a lot easier than dodging a bull — something Perez wasn’t so successful doing in the offseason, which led to the 27-year-old getting a late jump in spring training.

Perez allowed 10 hits but pitched into the sixth inning and Texas held on to beat the Oakland Athletics 6-3 before another sparse crowd on Thursday.

“He seemed to be right back where he was at the end of the year confidence-wise, ability to throw strikes,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.

“He was only behind three hitters. What I loved the most is that he continued to pound the strike zone, use the sinker, the four-seamer and his offspeed stuff and nothing seemed to rattle him.”

Adrian Beltre singled and doubled to become the all-time hits leader among Latin-born players.

Shin-Soo Choo homered for the second consecutive day and Nomar Mazara added two hits to help the Rangers split the fourgame series.

The crowd of 10,132 was the largest of the series, which attracted 34,613 total for the four games.

Perez (1-0) was activated off the disabled list before the game and

allowed three runs and 10 hits over 5 1-3 innings.

Perez was set back in spring training after breaking his right (non-pitching) elbow in December in an incident with a bull on his Venezuelan ranch.

The lefty pitched with runners on base every inning on Thursday, but repeatedly induced ground balls to keep the damage to a minimum.

“I didn’t have my best stuff but I can finally compete,” Perez said.

“I had fun out there. It’s good to recover from surgery and help your team win. They hit the ball three times hard. I think I did a great job.”

Four relievers combined for eight outs and Keone Kela pitched the ninth for his second save.

Beltre doubled off Oakland starter Daniel Mengden (0-2) and scored in the second then singled in the eighth. With 3,055 hits, Beltre is tied with Rickey Henderson for 24th place on the hits list.

“It’s obviously humbling,” Beltre said. “It’s hard to believe that I caught up to those guys. It is because I’ve been playing for a long time and I’ve been lucky enough to stay on the field.”

Jed Lowrie had three hits for Oakland. Chad Pinder, Matt Chapman and Stephen Piscotty added two hits apiece.

The A’s put runners on the corners with no outs in the seventh but failed to score. Texas shut down another potential rally in the eighth when right fielder Mazara threw out

tling down, only giving up one single to Zoey Neeld.

The Lady Demons rattled Wilson in the bottom of the third scoring three runs thanks to a single by Dominique Silvas, who also drove in Danique Blankvoort and her older sister Marlou Blankvoort, who walked and singled respectively.

Silvas later scored on a Yajaira Sosa single.

Munoz kept Eunice off the bases in the fourth and fifth innings, and in the bottom of the fourth, the Lady Demons scored two more runs as Neeld was hit by a pitch and later advanced to third on a single by Munoz.

Storie drove both in with a double.

Dexter scored another run in the bottom of the fifth and Munoz was able to keep the Cardinals off the bases in the top of the sixth.

In the top of the seventh, Munoz was able to get Eunice’s leadoff hitter Jasmine Owens to ground out. She walked the next batter Aide Frazier and then Jaqui Ortega smacked a tworun homer over the left field wall. For a spell, it looked like Munoz was in

trouble as the next two Cardinal hitters reached base.

The senior found her magic striking out Chastyn Pierson and Kelsie Fish tapped a pitch back to Munoz, who then tossed it to first baseman Allyssa Madden for the final out.

“Bry’s a quality athlete, she did miss some spots and she knows she did and she’s going back tomorrow (Friday) in practice and work on the pitches she needs to work on to be better for the team,” Smith said.

From the Cardinals point of view, head coach Chad Pierson was pleased with the defensive play. The offense was another issue.

“We didn’t hit anything solid,” Pierson said.

Pierson said Dexter is the top team in 3A and he wants the Cardinals to be like them.

“That’s who we compare ourselves to and (we are) trying to get to their level. Overall, I thought we played pretty well against them,” Pierson said.

Devils make playoffs for first time since 2012

By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer NEWARK, N.J. — As five years of hockey frustration ended for the New Jersey Devils, players embraced, raised their sticks to salute their long-suffering fans and just imagined what the future held.

The New Jersey Devils are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2012, knowing they have a shot at the Stanley Cup, like 15 other teams after clinching a postseason berth with a 2-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

No tee times this year.

No vacation. The real hockey starts next week.

“There’s certain moments in your life and certain moments in a season that you want to be able to celebrate,” Devils coach John Hynes said.

“This is one of them. It’s a significant accomplishment for us to be able to get ourselves back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.”

What the Devils did this season was remarkable.

They finished last in the Eastern Conference with 28 wins and 70 points.

Their win over the Maple Leafs was their 44th of the season and gave them 97 points with a game to go in the regular season.

Patrick Maroon did most of the important work against the Leafs, setting up second-period goals

by Pavel Zacha and Miles Wood to provide the margin of victory.

After that, it was just a matter of holding off the playoff-bound Maple Leafs, who pushed in the third period.

Keith Kinkaid, the mainstay in goal since the end of January, made 31 saves as the Devils won their fourth straight and extended their points streak to eight games (7-0-1). He preserved the lead with a stop in close on Auston Matthews with just over seven minutes to play He called the final 10

B6 Friday, April 6, 2018 Dear Abby Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I am in my 30s and moved out of my parents’ home 10 years ago. Last week I decided to visit them, and we went out to eat. Dad has a habit of sending his food back to the kitchen — “My steak isn’t cooked enough,” or “My food is cold. Could you warm it up?” He even does this at restaurants that aren’t fancy.

Dad has done this my whole life and he’s in his 60s. It’s embarrassing for me and Mom, and it frustrates the cooks and waitstaff. Is there a polite way of telling him to stop this behavior? He takes any criticism personally.

EMBARRASSED IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR EMBARRASSED: You are certainly free to tell your father that this habit embarrasses you, but after all these years, you and your mother are

Comics not going to change him.

Restaurants are in the hospitality business. If your father isn’t satisfied with his food, he has a right to ask that it be served to his liking, and most restaurants will gladly comply.

We are not responsible for the actions of other people, and because of that, you should not feel embarrassed about something over which you have no control.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: Last year for my birthday, my husband asked me what I wanted for a gift. I told him I would like flowers once a month for one year.

He’s been pretty good about it. But I complained about the way I receive them, which is, when we are driving home in our truck (we work together) and it’s nearing the end of the month, he’ll pull into the parking lot at the grocery store, run in, come back and hand them to me. He always picks out a beautiful bunch, but my complaint was that it’s never a “surprise.” He says he can’t decide if I’m ungrateful or a spoiled brat.

What say you and your

readers?

GRATEFUL IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR GRATEFUL: Your mistake was in not clearly specifying that what you wanted was a bouquet in a vase from a florist. However, since you also told your husband you wanted flowers once a month, I fail to see how they would in any way be a “surprise.” He has been giving you what you asked for, and you shouldn’t look a gift husband in the mouth.

I’m not going to name call, but shame on you.

Roswell Daily Record Hints from

Heloise King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: Many people swear by lavender oil to help them sleep.

When I’m having a mild bout of insomnia, I like to put some lavender oil on a couple of cotton balls, then place the lavender-scented cotton balls inside my pillowcase. I can smell the clean scent of old English lavender and sleep like a baby.

Gina R., Medford, Ore. HHHHH Dear Heloise: One sure way to kill broadleaf weeds is to place a shot of vinegar where the dandelion plant was. Be careful not to splash the other plants around the weed. This also works on Bermuda grass between cracks and crevices.

Louisa F., Wausau, Wis. HHHHH Dear Heloise: One of my favorite tools around the house is index

Jacqueline Bigar

cards. I make a list of items I need to pick up at the store, or make a list of places where I need to stop, or jot down something important someone said to me. I always have a couple of index cards with me. I also can leave messages for my husband or kids on an index card.

JoAnn Y., Hattiesburg, Miss.

HHHHH Dear Heloise: After a cold or flu, it’s always wise to make sure to disinfect items we’ve handled, such as a computer mouse, toothbrush handles, door handles, etc. It’s so easy to pass on germs that could be killed with disinfecting wipes or cleaners.

Cathy P., Claymont, Del. HHHHH Dear Heloise: There are many hydrating masks on the market, but for me, the best is one I make from natural products that are already in my kitchen. I blend together 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of sour cream, one egg yolk and half a cup of oatmeal, which has been made into a powder in my blender, and make a

Beetle Bailey

Your Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You start the day with high energy. You feel excited about an unexpected development that occurs midday. You could feel pressured to complete a demanding project and/or certain responsibilities. A loved one might request more time with you. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A loved one could surprise you with his or her perspective. How this person handles a dicey situation could make a big difference. Read between the lines. Stay clear and calm when having a serious discussion, and you’ll find a point of agreement.

Tonight: Detach and observe.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might want to understand what is motivating others. You can’t make the first move, as a loved one wants to have control. Still, you desire this dominance. Just go with the flow. How you handle a situation could mark the next few days.

Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Get as much done as possible.

You are likely to accomplish a lot by late morning. Consider what is happening behind the scenes, and try to visualize a personal matter. Do not push yourself too hard. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s request.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You enjoy some playfulness, which is quite unique. A child delights you with the unexpected. You approach the day with a very efficient manner. You have a lot to do, and you need to clear up a problem quickly. A partner or associate will give you feedback. Tonight: Lighten the mood.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH The unexpected occurs when handling your finances. You could be too tired for your own good. You have a lot of ground to cover, and you don’t want to make an error. Your vision of what is possible changes as the day goes on. Tonight: Add more romance to the night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You understand the end game, but you still need to get there. A partner causes an uproar when he or she acts in an unexpected way. Honor what you need to do in order to have a situation work. A tense situation becomes a lot easier. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Curb your spending, even though you might feel as if you need to replace certain items. Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. You need to meet this hectic pace and not fall behind. Listen to what is needed, and be willing to meet that request.

Tonight: Take a stand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have the ability to send strong messages in the morning. By the late afternoon, spending could become a dominant issue. Understand a need to maintain a strong image.

You will command more respect if you have the right attitude and presence.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Take news with a grain salt. If you don’t feel like commenting at first, don’t. You will feel much more in sync than you have in the recent past. How you present an option or a suggestion will please many people who agree.

Listen to others’ suggestions. Tonight: As you like it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Use the morning hours to the max. Unexpected news could affect you in several ways. Slow down, and put a pause on your reaction. Use this change or surprise positively. You feel confident in how you deal with a problem in the afternoon. Tonight: Reflect on your priorities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Try to see the big picture.

You’ll discover a financial change that could put you into deep thought.

Consider if you can make a necessary adjustment. Be aware of your image.

A discrepancy between your image and your goals needs to be addressed.

Tonight: Dinner out.

paste out of it. Then I apply it to my face with a wide artist’s brush and lie down for half an hour. I rinse off with warm water and see how nice my skin looks.

Angie H., Elmira, N.Y. HHHHH Dear Heloise: Since my job requires that I stand for several hours a day, my feet usually get tired by the time I get home. One of the best ways to give myself a foot massage is to roll my feet over a rubber ball, one ball per foot. Afterward, I soak my feet in a pan of water with 3 tablespoons of baking soda for about 30 minutes, then dry my feet off and use a little lotion on them. If my feet get very dry, I rub olive oil into them, slip on a pair of cotton socks and leave them on overnight. My feet feel great afterward.

Helen B., Juneau, Alaska HHHHH Dear Heloise: My big complaint is about place mats. I used to be able to find place mats for my round table that were curved to fit the round edge. I have a hard time finding them now.
