Liquor sale restriction passes GALLUP — A northwest- ern New Mexico county has passed a resolution that will ban liquor sales before 10 a.m. The Gallup Independent reports the McKinley County Board of Commissioners passed the early liquor sales restriction in a 2-1 vote on Tuesday. County Attorney Doug Decker says prior to the reso- lution, an alcohol dispenser or retailer could sell packaged liquor at 7 a.m. With the new resolution, stores within the county will have to wait until 10 a.m. to begin selling liquor. Commissioner Bill Lee told the paper on Tuesday that he did not vote for the ordinance because he believes it will not fix alcoholism in the commu- nity, and may lead to business opportunities for bootleggers.

By Steven Wine THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Miami Marlins general manager Michael Hill was traveling Thursday to partici- pate in a series of marathons when he swung the team’s latest trade, sending center field- er Christian Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers for four prospects. And so the Marlins’ dis- mantling marathon continues. Yelich became the fourth starter traded by the Marlins as they reduce payroll and rebuild their weak farm sys- tem under new CEO Derek Jeter. The Marlins earlier dealt away major league home run champion Giancarlo Stanton, stolen base champ Dee Gordon and All-Star left fielder Marcell Ozuna. Hill made the trade as he began a trip to run seven marathons on seven conti- nents in seven days. Former Marlins executives David Samson and Jeff Conine are also taking part in the charity event. “I’m boarding a plane for South Africa,” Hill said. “The job goes with you Miami Herald: Pedro Portal wherever you are.
