Each week in the Las Cruces Bulletin, we endeavor to bring our readers the news, information, features and stories they want. We have a very targeted readership intended to bring a valued return to our advertisers, so we reach the folks who have the time and resources to support the charities and nonprofit organizations of our community. Knowing this, every week I try to include at least one thing that our readers should know about if they want to help. Because of our coverage and community involvement, the Bulletin has enjoyed enthusiastic support from readers and good working relationships with the area's 'movers and shakers.' As I began to think about how we could help getting this first-ever St. Baldrick's event off the ground in Las Cruces, it occurred to me that, with the Bulletin's readership scope and goodwill, the best way was to put the hair I still have left 'on the line' for the cause. Trust me, I have no desire to go bald. More to the point, I have no desire to add more mirrors to my bathroom to better fend off the final admission that my once full shore of a hairline is turning into a breakwater. I try to find encouragement from the grace and acceptance the singer James Taylor has exhibited in the loss of his hair without resorting to hairpieces or restoration techniques. Still, I wince when I occasionally see footage of the backside of my head while watching TV news coverage of an event I also was covering. Given these feelings, it may come as a surprise to some that I've agreed to have my head shaved for the St. Baldrick's in mid-April to raise funds for children cancer research. But I feel that confident that a large majority of the funds raised goes to the important work of childhood cancer research. Also, I am touched by the emotional support Shavees give to children undergoing the hardships of cancer therapy. And I enjoy the touch of whimsy St. Baldrick's brings to the topic. So, I'm in. If you like the work that I or my newspapers does, please donate.
