this would include Bitcoin The City is always grateful when a donation is made to further the public good,” Yntema wrote the receipt for the reserve also contains a provision to accept “U.S The receipt states that the bitcoin and all donations will be held for 10 years and then used for stipends to cover a portion of the water bills of Roswell senior citizens based on the amount of continuing donations and any increased value of the reserve If the reserve ever accrues more than $1 million it could be used as a liquid emergency fund for up to 21% of its value for declared disaster relief pending a vote of unanimous support from the Roswell City Council That option can only be exercised once every five years Halvorson told the Daily Record she was initially not on board with the idea of the reserve due to bitcoin's price volatility she became supportive after learning that no taxpayer funds or city resources would be diverted into it which will place Roswell on the map for bitcoiners “What an amazing step forward for the future," Heldenbrand said Monday in a text message to the Daily Record The reserve address's activity is viewable online for Roswell citizens and anyone with the link to see showing at press time 18 total transactions of received bitcoin For those with bitcoin apps considering a donation to the Roswell reserve the receipt signed by Halvorson also includes a QR code for receiving bitcoin as well as the typed version of the city’s bitcoin address: Bc1q6l4g35excrwmsackchlt6km3ex08vev0w222h4 There was a reopening ceremony on Friday morning to recognize the efforts made by a large group of city of employees to reopen the Roswell Visitor Center The building received significant damage as a result of the October 2024 severe storm and flooding the center resumed operations in mid-April after clean up is shown reading a document explaining the structure's history place in the community and as a place to welcome visitors The workers standing behind Halvorson are from the city's Facilities Maintenance Team Downtown Parks Crew and staff of the center Cost was $8,000 and completed the tasks using mostly items on hand to make the structure usable and relevant once more The aliens who reside at the center were keeping a low profile but are still visible within the photo Roswell City Council and Mayor invited to Bitcoin 2025 after an anonymous donation online seeded a Bitcoin Reserve The Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, scheduled for the last week of May, includes several notable political figures slated as speakers, including returning guest and Bitcoin advocate Sen.

Also appearing are Trump’s so-called “A.I. and Crypto Czar,” David Sacks, and Bo Hines the “Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets at the White House.” JUST IN: 🇺🇸 City of Roswell, New Mexico sets up a strategic #Bitcoin reserve. pic.twitter.com/yhKgKbwsfV Roswell is home to a few things you might not expect — world-renowned dairy farming and one of the world’s largest mozzarella cheese factories; aerospace and aviation industries with a famous “aircraft graveyard” which once housed Elvis Presley’s personal small plane, “Hound Dog II,” for 35 years; a vibrant arts, museums and cultural scene — but also a thriving tourism industry largely built around what Roswell is really known for: flying saucers But Roswell is really known worldwide for the 1947 “UFO incident.” In early July 1947 a presumably once-flying object of unknown origin crashed and was destroyed recovered later and brought to the now-defunct Roswell Army Air Field’s 509th still housing the United States’ only nuclear bombs at the time as well as the U.S.’s only pilots Speculation still rages as to whether the recovered craft and its alleged pilot and passengers — reports of oddly shaped bodies persist but are highly debated still — were from a supposed extraterrestrial location, or the result of a U.S. military experiment.  family-owned since 1891 and still in print today reported the headline seen around the world:  RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region according to the city’s website in 2023 “… had a $510,205 direct economic impact for Roswell …” in a lockdowns-recovery rebuilding year for the event(s) Roswell by and large and the newspaper alike is today home to many oddities, myself included. A Nashville transplant with an odd missionary calling last year the Record took me in as their in-house evening copy editor — with a desk (I’m told the desks are from the WWII army air base And through it all, I didn’t even get fired. Yet. But being in the bitcoin news industry and seeing the trend, in January I proposed a strategic bitcoin reserve for Roswell since the city received a $3,000 in bitcoin donation from an anonymous out-of-state reader of the newspaper column with or without government “approval” or bitcoin media industry recognition I have a confirmed blockchain transaction from January 3 that says the Roswell Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has been established Who custodies and manages it is still up for grabs But OK, the idea is currently being mulled over by some city councilors who’ve given me the time of day, as I want to give the donation to the city as our start, and look for personal and corporate sponsorships from there (so as not to create any new expenses or taxes for the city). We’re struggling While the city council can of course be a tough nut and bitcoin is new and bewildering to many still Roswell City Attorney Hess Yntema kindly replied to me recently via email municipalities are empowered to acquire real and personal property … Personal property is broad and includes tangible and intangible assets; this would include Bitcoin The City is always grateful when a donation is made to further the public good.” To help with the decision-making process perhaps I’m grateful to report that Bitcoin Magazine has extended an invitation to all 10 members of the Roswell City Council plus Mayor Timothy Jennings to attend the event whether the council approves the custody and management of a city-held bitcoin reserve or not Mayor Jennings’ office replied graciously that he would be unable to attend on those dates while at press time at least one other city councilor has committed to be “thinking about it.” City Councilor Ed Heldenbrand and City Attorney Hess Yntema are excited to be ushering in Roswell’s next step for posterity’s sake if not their generation: “… a great step for the future,” Heldenbrand said in a text message The Roswell City Council next meets on Thursday, May 8, at 6:00 p.m. Mountain time, with meetings livestreamed over YouTube where whether the topic of the proposed donation will be discussed remains unknown at press time have scheduled a meeting with myself and Hess this week to discuss “the procedure for accepting the Bitcoin,” according to a group text message from my ward’s councilor organizing the meetup.  “…Trying to front-run the market to ensure New Mexico remains a rich state,” State Sen. Anthony Thornton (R-NM, Dist. 19) presented a strategic reserve bill Asked for additional comment this week about “why” a bitcoin reserve Thornton responded to me in written detail: “I do believe that as our debt based fiat currency (i.e. dollar) continues to be debased by the Fed central bankers more sovereign governments will decide to store their wealth in assets that cannot be produced by a printing press… hence commodities such as gold and silver will continue to rise in value.  the scarcity of Bitcoin and its digital mobility will likely make it the one asset utilized by the entire world as the best place to store one’s long-term capital.” It’s not at all surprising that denizens of Roswell might still be among the first in the nation to respond to bitcoin’s siren song calling out around the world to Earth’s more intelligent life forms for 16 years now.  Roswellians — accustomed as they now are to random new technologies of mysterious origin appearing from the sky and disrupting all social order industry and established financial infrastructures — might just have an unfair advantage over others in “grokking” bitcoin because of such an “incident” already being a part of their collective psyche.  Readers interested in learning more about bitcoin firsthand may eerily find themselves being drawn to Las Vegas this May to attend the Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference 2025’s two-day conference lineup plus additional events throughout the week Disclosure: The author both holds bitcoin as a savings asset does not believe in aliens and has unsuccessfully run for public office in Roswell three times: This content could therefore contain unintended financial and/or political biases relating to the subject matter Opinions expressed are entirely their own and do not necessarily reflect those of BTC Inc or Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Magazine is the oldest and most established source of trustworthy news information and thought leadership on Bitcoin Facing a cancer diagnosis in your 20s or 30s Young Adult Cancer Explore how our Survivorship Center can benefit you beyond treatment Cancer Survivorship View our many on and off-campus activities that are available to patients and their families Events Calendar Our Physician Resources website is by physicians for physicians – featuring educational videos with our experts from various specialties Roswell Park Physician Resources Download our free mobile app — exclusively for physicians and physician offices — for direct access to a directory of Roswell Park physicians Email or call to refer a patient or ask a question with a click of a button Apple iOS Google Android This press release was issued by the Great Falls Council of Scouting America and is reproduced here with permission.BUFFALO, N.Y. — Dr. Candace S.

Johnson, PhD told the nurses gathered for the call with ANCC “I am ecstatic and honored that our nurses have received such a distinction,” she notes “Magnet status helps patients identify hospitals where they’ll receive the best care and affirms the high quality of the nursing care that our incredible Roswell Park team has consistently provided.”  Magnet designation is a results-driven recognition that highlights the role nurses play as part of an interprofessional team focused on improving patient outcomes Research shows that Magnet-recognized organizations demonstrate better patient outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.   “The Roswell Park nursing team has once again given our community reason to be very proud,” notes Leecia Eve Chair of the Roswell Park Board of Directors “These amazing women and men excel in the hard skills and the soft skills required for exceptional nursing care with an outstanding record of performance in clinical care Roswell Park demonstrated the following strengths across its nursing program: The designation follows two other recent nursing accomplishments: a Beacon Award of Excellence for the Roswell Park Intensive Care Unit and the launch of a first-of-its kind program offering nurses advanced training in oncology research — the first such program at any U.S “By becoming Magnet-recognized,” the ANCC notes “organizations empower nurses to reach their true potential When a healthcare organization earns Magnet status it demonstrates to the world that it’s an organization that recognizes the invaluable potential of nurses to lead healthcare change.” Roswell Park’s Department of Nursing employs more than 1,000 nursing professionals — registered nurses, administrators, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, hospital clinical assistants and clinical support assistants — all working together to deliver exceptional care and support for people with cancer and their families.

See “5 questions to ask your esophageal surgeon,” featuring further insights from Dr on the Roswell Park Cancer Talk blog.   BUFFALO, N.Y. — Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center achieved textbook outcomes for 90% of 150 consecutive robot-assisted, minimally invasive esophagectomies (RAMIE) performed from 2020-2024, as reported in a study in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery The term “textbook outcomes” is used in the surgical field to refer to ideal outcomes measured by such factors as the length of hospital stay and rate of complications readmission to the hospital and mortality within 30 days after surgery A recently published series documenting textbook outcomes from high-volume international centers reported a range of 40-45% — roughly half the percentage achieved at Roswell Park “This is among the best outcome data we have seen with this operation,” says Roswell Park Chair of Surgical Oncology Moshim Kukar, MD, FACS which analyzed data from a prospective database maintained by Roswell Park Most of the patients included in the study had stage T3 tumors indicating that the cancer had spread to lymph nodes or nearby tissues.  Esophagectomy — removal of the diseased portion of the esophagus — is a mainstay treatment for esophageal cancer After removal of the cancerous part of the esophagus — the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach — the stomach is lifted up into the chest from the abdomen so it can be reattached to the remaining part of the esophagus.  The surgery is associated with serious complications and a typical mortality rate of 3-5% even at centers that perform a high number of procedures — a characteristic usually linked to better outcomes But the Roswell Park team achieved 30-day and 90-day mortality rates of only 0.7% and 1.3% respectively. “That’s about one-fourth of the typical risk we would expect for these complex surgeries,” says Dr Patients in the study also had a low rate of anastomotic leak a serious complication of the surgery that occurs when the surgical area between the stomach and remaining esophagus does not heal properly.  the patient can become extremely sick,” explains Dr “When gastric and esophageal fluid leak into the chest cavity patients can require multiple additional surgeries or other procedures and have to stay in the hospital longer Data show that complications like this affect a patient’s overall survival that means there will also be a delay in starting any adjuvant therapy — additional treatment required after surgery,” he adds “If you don’t receive that therapy in a timely manner you have an increased risk that the cancer will return.”  Previous studies have shown that even at centers that perform a high volume of these surgeries the rate of anastomotic leak after laparoscopic or robotic surgery ranges from 15-33% — but only two of the 150 Roswell Park patients experienced a leak and neither required an additional operation The Roswell Park team employs the “side-to-side stapled anastomotic technique,” which is less prone to leakage than other methods Roswell Park began performing all esophagectomies with RAMIE which requires only small incisions in the abdomen and the side of the chest and is accomplished with robotic assistance This means patients experience less blood loss and are less prone to infection and the robotic instruments can move with greater precision than the human hand — an advantage when complicated suturing is needed Patients who undergo robotic surgery experience less pain and typically have a shorter hospital stay versus those who undergo traditional open or laparoscopic surgery; patients in the Roswell Park study had a median stay of seven days Roswell Park performs 60-70 esophagectomies per year using RAMIE — nearly three times the number required to be classified as a high-volume center. Dr Kukar’s team has performed more than 700 minimally invasive esophagectomies since 2014 More than 250 of the surgeries were robot-assisted including 150 performed during the period reported in the study placing Roswell Park among the centers with the highest volumes for this surgery.  The Roswell Park team hopes the results of their study will encourage other centers to adopt these strategies leading to a standardized approach to esophagectomy and better overall outcomes for more patients of Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach — An ongoing dust storm has caused roads to close and schools to dismiss early in the Roswell area The National Weather Service issued a dust storm warning in the Roswell area warning about “near-zero visibility in blowing dust” and “dangerous life-threatening travel” until 11:45 a.m Highway 285 is closed from mile marker 79 to mile marker 105 or from about nine miles north of Artesia to Roswell 285 Relief Route is also closed from mile marker 105 to mile marker 112 Highway 70 is also closed four miles west of Roswell Nearby Dexter Schools released students Monday at 11:30 a.m. due to “extreme wind and dust.” The district had a remote learning day Tuesday as did nearby Hagerman Municipal Schools and Lake Arthur Schools Conditions are expected to improve by Wednesday BUFFALO, N.Y. — Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has launched registration for the 30th anniversary Ride for Roswell has grown into a staple in the Western New York community and one of the largest fundraising events in the country The 2025 Ride Weekend will be held on June 27 and 28 at the University at Buffalo’s North Campus.  With a goal of raising a record breaking $6 million each event fundraiser will commit to raising at least $200 for the cause.  “It’s incredible to see the legacy we’ve built with Ride for Roswell over the last 30 years,” said Mitch Flynn “Not only have we created an unparalleled community of riders but we’ve first and foremost made a difference in the lives of people battling this disease The legacy of the Ride is something we all should be proud of.”  Proceeds from Ride for Roswell benefit cancer research, clinical trials and patient-care programs at Roswell Park. In 2024 alone, the Ride raised $5.9 million. Since 1996, the event has brought in $80 million for the mission to end cancer. Learn about the impact of Ride funding.  “Ride for Roswell has paved the way for cutting-edge discoveries in the world of cancer care,” said Dr Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center President & CEO “Fundraisers and donors fuel the mission to end cancer and — through the Ride — they are truly saving lives and helping our experts change the way we understand and treat cancer.”  Ride for Roswell is a two-day event: Celebration of Hope, an impactful program focused on the mission of the Ride, takes place on Friday evening.
