Festival Romanico Set for Friday, February 13 – Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to romance. But the day before, Friday, Feb. 13, will be a day dedicated to romantic Latin languages. More than 500 high school students from around New Mexico are expected to participate in the annual Festival Romanico at Eastern New Mexico University.

The daylong event will run from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Becky Sharp Auditorium, located in the College of Business, and in the Campus Union Ballroom. The public is invited.

Students from at least 15 high schools will compete in Spanish poetry, recitation, essay, original skits, video and talent competitions. A display of arts and crafts will also be exhibited in the Sandia Room in the CUB. ENMU students will serve as judges. “The whole festival is a celebration of being bilingual. Bilingualism is an asset to your life,” said Dr. Vitelio Contreras, an assistant professor of Spanish at ENMU who has served as director of the festival for the past five years.

He is excited about a newly created $500 scholarship which will be awarded to a student planning to attend ENMU. He said a winner would likely be chosen out of essays that students write. ENMU’s newly formed ballet folklorico will also perform traditional Mexican dances.

Dr. Contreras noted that competition between schools at the festival has grown over the years, with Lovington, Clovis and Portales high schools being particularly competitive. He said ENMU would also use Festival Romanico as an opportunity to try and recruit students to the University.

Are Your Legal Affairs in Order? – With the everyday stresses that we all cope with, sometimes it's hard to think ahead regarding the "What If?" types of scenarios. But we usually find that the time invested "up front" can eliminate many headaches "down the road." Such is the matter of having your legal affairs in order. It can make difficult situations easier to cope with, for you as well as your loved ones. Good legal "health" eliminates many of the most emotionally draining legal problems, which commonly occur. Over and over again, these problems surface as a result of a crisis, often a sudden illness or death. At the worst possible time it is discovered that no one has the authority to act for their stricken loved one, or no one can find important information required to apply for a needed benefit or to begin helping a grieving widow or widower to settle the affairs of a deceased spouse. To help you become "legally healthy," the Roosevelt County Extension Office is sponsoring the Legal Checkup program, at the NM Ag Expo, Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. at the Jake Lopez Building, Roosevelt Co. Fairgrounds. Attorney Kathleen Haynes will present a program on Estate Planning. Legal Checkup booklets will be available. For more information, call Connie Moyers, Roosevelt Co.
