Ruidoso's police department will seek funding for four new officers through federal grants.

Police Chief Lanny Maddox told village council members Tuesday the extra officers are needed be­cause the community faces popula­tion growth f.rom anticipated legal­ized gambling and other factors.

The Cops Fast program funds 75% of an officer's salary for three years. :

The police department currently 1

Village can't get bids on renovations

The Village of Ruidoso is trying to make its senior center and li­brary handicapped-accessible, but it can't get anyone to bid on the project.

Village officials Tuesday at­tributed the lack ofbids to an un­usually busy construction season and a short time frame for offering bids.

A new round of bids will be sought.

050 ews Daytime curfew sought to reduce juvenile crimes by JOANNA DOIDIOIER Ruidoso News Editor

On the heels of a record month of burglaries, the Ruidoso police de­partment is seeking a weekday cur­few for juveniles.

Many of October's 52 burglaries were perpetrated on homes by teens during the day, Police Chief Lanny Maddox told the village council Tuesday night. The pro­posed law would allow officers to confront teenagers walking around residential neighborhoods during school hours.

Maddox noted Tuesday that warrants have just been issued in connection with a ring of November buglaries, but declined to give more details until arrests are made. Oc­tober's 52 burglaries amounted to more burglaries than any other month in at least the past five years, said police records officer Cindy Green. Of the 52 burglaries, 46 weie-reBrdentiaTanuexactlYfiilf of those have been attributed to ju­veniles. Burglaries for 1994 through the end of October totaled 199.

Donaldson said the law may be open to abuse that would hurt the community's tourism efforts. For example, officers could pull over a teenager on vacation, as well as a child who is bthooled at home.

"One zealot officer that gets carried away can do so much damage," Donaldson said.

Maddox responded that all laws demand officer discretion, and this law is meant only to give officers a way to approach suspicious teens in residential neighborhoods.

Maddox said the village's night curfew for juveniles that became law in August has deterred crime.

The proposed day curfew says persons under 18 who are required to be in school should not be in pub­lic places. Parents and legal guard­ians are held responsible for viola­tions. Violations result in a warn­ing to parents upon -trrst-'l!ffense, followed by a $50 fine the second time and a $100 fine the third time. The law is similar to one that went into effect this month in Roswell.

The village council voted unani-1 mously to hold a public hearing on

the proposed law on Jan. 10, 1995.

Maddox said the typical scenario would involve an officer picking up a juvenile and taking the child to school to find out if the child should be in school. The officer and child meet with a school official and parent. If the child has no excuse, the parent is given a ticket and the officer leaves.

"It's a great honor to make the list," said Lori West­gate, public relations coordinator for HCIA. "Of course, we are not saying that these 100 are the only good hospitals, but they stand out in their categories."

The Ruidoso Board of Realtors has issued a resolution opposing the future storage of spent nuclear fuel rods on the Mescalero Apache Reservation bordering Ruidoso.

It's the first time since the pro­ject was suggested about four years ago that the organization has taken a stand.

"When I was elected president of the Board of Realtors in October, I had several items on my agenda I wanted to get done," Board Presi­dent Doug Siddens said Wednes­day. ''We (the board) wanted to finally take a position regarding the MRS (monitored retrievable storage) situation. We polled our members and we had an over· whelming majority that said they were in opposition to a nuclear storage facility.

"I want to make it clear that we are not anti-nuclear or radical. We are opposed to the MRS. Our resolution is comparable to those pruJmed by the village of Ruidoso and other municipalities in our ,area."

Of 160 ballots sent out. 105 were returned and the "overwhelming m~ority" opposed the storage proposal based on issues of safety and its chilling effect on the eco­nomic do~elopment of the area, Sid­dens said.

"We don't WQnt anyone tdso's toldc waste," 1\e added. "If we open the door, the' tf8t (lf<tbe naiion is goittg t;o. say, ~fs ·toke it to .New Me~cc,' nnd 'W~ don't wattt it.

"We also want to make it clear that we have completely supported all the other Mescalero enterprises and we will continue to do so."

Board m~>mber Larry Henderson said if village residents could go to the polls and cast their votes on the issue, the organization may not have expressed a stance. .

"But we don't have that option in

County joins move to take back western lands from feds by DIANNE STALLINGS Au•doso News Stat! Writer

Lmcnln County has joined a growing number of crommumtJPS R.cro.'ls the West that are challenging fed­l'ral ownrrship of public lands hy crl!ating local ad­\'1 ~<Jry boards for the management of those lands.

f'r;unty commission1·rs Tuesday assured a handful of rJpprmP.nts to the ordinance that the membership of thf· Pubhc Land Use AdVJsory Council will represent all t}'JH'S nf users of the land. They said hikers, hunt.Prs, hrJr!w nders, husiness people and environ· nlf·r•tahsts, not JU.'It ranchers, will be appointed to the rrr n.--member ho11rd for one·year terms.

h!rmHtwn of the board is one step in a primarily We<;tern movement for states to reclaim land turned 11VI'r tr1 th1~ federal government when they were ad· m1tlf:d to thr· unwn Spawned by displeasure with fed­Prffl managemtmt of the land, the movement has g-rown over the last four years at the county level.

The is8ue of ownership is expected to eventually be settl1!d in court, but the majority of the Lincoln com­mission doesn't want county government embroiled in a protracted legal battle. Chairman Monroy Montes contended the advisory board ordinance as rewritten

· will not put the county in the middle of a court con­frontation. It's only a step for local control, he said.

Tiu~ vote for approval was not unanimous. In front of more than 80 supporters of the ordinance and a few dissenters, Commissioner Wilton Howell voted against it. Commissioner L. Ray Nunley was out of town.

Commissioner William Schwettmann proposed ap­proving the ordinance, saying it doesn't change any­thing.

"It only sets up an advisory committee,'' SchweUmann said. "The county takes over nothing at all. And it's all subject to commission decisions."

Schwettman's motion was seconded by Com­missioner Stirling Spencer, who said it was time to do what's right. It passed 3-1 with Chairman Monroy Montes' support.

Howell said he couldn't vote for the ordinance, be· cause had not received answers to questions he posed at the first public hearing Nov. 10. At that meeting, California attorney John Howard BBi.d the Human !Ughts Foundation would represent the eounty lbr free if-a lawsuit resulted. Howell said he wants a guaran· tee of that free repreaentation and a Ust of eon­tribut.ors that finance the activities of the foundation.

"I don't want to find out somewhere down the line that a foundation representing us is funded by the-Klu Klux Klan," he said.

Howell also wanto to see a management plan for tho land, in ease the elate passss responsibility to lhe

county. "I don't know if we could stand what we're asking

for," HowPII !'laid, reft!rring to the cost of managing the land.

Audience voices

,Jan Pnnce of Ruidoso Downs said she would like to see less federal involvement and more local control, hut she's worried about who would provide the local control.

"Ranching is a big business," she said. "I'm sure they feel they have the interests of the environment at heart, but what they do may be counter to my inter· ests as a hiker. Who's going to be on that council? It's important that a small person like myself has the right to roam the public land.

"I think if this passes, we will have another fight on our hands from individuals who want the land to remain undegraded and open."

Bob Hollis of Ruidoso said his rights and freedoms since 1926 have been eroded more by private land­owners blocking access to public lands than by actions of the federal government.

"I have nothing against ranchers and I respect pri­vate land,"' Hollis said. "But I want my rights as a U.S. citizen respected by them on public land. I've seen state land controlled more and more by ranch­ers."

Don Nason warned that access wil1 become even more restricted in the future under federal ownership, with projects to preserve diversity of biological sys­tems.

'"You'll hardly be able to get out of your yards," he said.

David Koch, a professional forester, sWd the foreats today are no longer natura1, because public fire sup­pression policies have allowed them to become too dense, breeding diseases and insect infestations.

<tOne hundred years ago, the Capitan area had more of a savannah appearance and no pifton-juniper forests/' he said. "Tiley have come about lrom alack of management."

Appeals by environmental groups have severely restrleted what aganciaa ean do on pubtie land, Koch said, and local people no longer have a say In what happens. '

Ron Merritt Jr. of Conma said aJtli6ugh the state would have more reaponslbltity,lt !'!SO would reeeive more money to bandls those rsapollidbiiiUos by direct­ly collsetlng lbr activities on the public lands.

"We only get on .. fiftlslh of wlult the public 11111dt! bring ln." agreed Carl Holden. "'lond a dollar l'tom

here to Washington D.C. and see what's left when it comes back."

Local control also could clamp down better on abusers of permits, contended Mike Kakuska, a businessman and ranch owner.

Wray Schildknecht of Otero County said that after visiting severa1 counties in Nevada, he was convinced that the legal basis for the challenge is sound.

"I learned that bureaucracies have no conscience and love control," he said. The role of rural counties hke Lincoln is important, because "only there are enough people awake (to the situation)," Schildknecht said. ''This is not just a (cattle and sheep) grazing is­sue. We're interested in protecting multiple rights on public lands."

But Russ Warwick, former environmental health and safety officer on the Mescalero Apache Reserva­tion, said he's unwilling to support '\he outdated ran­ching lifestyle" that "kills wildlife. on public land to

benefit ranching." He said more people would object if they knew how much destruction of wildlife has and is occurring.

"No adequate checks and balances have been planned on the council to protect the rights of all of the general public," he said.

Joel Bonnell, chainnan of the county's agriculture and rural affairs committee that helped rewrite the ordinance, said local management can -react more quickly to complaints and issues and allow citizens more direct control and access to the process of man­agement.

Caren Cowen-Bremer with the state's woOliJ'OWers association said the issue is a constitutional question and needs to go before a higher court. While the or­dinance asserts a basis for local control, "there is no legal basis in this ordinance for the county to be sued," she said. "But if we don't start here and join the others (counties), it won't go."

Sign-up for school board race is Dec. 20 by DON HIXON Ruidoso News Staff Writer

But on the issue of gambling, the two said commissioners -need to. be prepared to ask fur epecific help from the state while the rules are bsiilg'Written. Voters approved a lottory and video,gaming Nov. S. and the legislature.may restrict video gaming to resort· cOmmunities such as RuidosQ.

Although the election baa been challenged, Howell said the county manager should visit a few eo~munities that hav~;t been im·, pacted by gambling to diacuss the problems.

"I hate to agree," Spencer said. '.'But I think this could be one of the poJ;entiaHy largest impacts on the cou~ty and we need to be proactive." ·

County commissioners asked- . to ~ack local literacy program

Although the Southeast quadrant of New Mexico has the second highQiit.level of illiteracy in the stEJte, it was on the bottlnb in finan· dal help this past year, according to local coordinatw Gloria Pafford. a special education te~er. '

Pafford Tuesday asked the Lincoln County Commission to become ... ; the fiscal agent for the local effort to c:ombet illiteracy. Federal cuts' • in the program caused grant programs to dry up and.eho lost out on a state grant by one point on graded applications, she said. ..

Commissioners told Pafford to meet with Cou:nty Manager Paro­lin Cooney and work up a budget request for'mid·year review in Jan­uary. Pafford said she will need $5,800 to allow the J>I'Ogram to con­tinue until June. The annual budget is about $16,000 and obo Is seeking support from community organizations and ~ brces. Thirty~three tutors have b~n trained to work with a:.traig8t group of young mothers in a partnership with Heltli.Star~ she said.

"We're targeting l'tunily titoracy, so mothers ean read to their chil-dren," Pafford said. · •

While 23 percent of adults over the age of 24 in Southeast New Mexico have no high school diploma, the area received only 12 per· cent of state money available to fight illiteracy, she said. The North· west quadrant, with 60 percent lacking a diploma, received 44 per· cent of the money. Pafford estimated that out of J,.incoln County's 13,000 residents. 2~990 adults are qot. high school graduates.

CHARGES----.....--Huc!Son added he waa tired of

people "slapping us in the face and we won't take it any longer," Siddens claimed. ·

According to the statement Siddens gave police, the eon~ versation centered around a resolution approved by the board membership opposing the Me.r ealero plan · to store spent nuclear fuel rods from 33 power companies on their reservation in neighboring Otero County.

Hudson objected to not being given an opportunity to speak to the group first, Siddens said in his .police statement.

"(He said) that our member· ship was misled into voting against the MRS. He said there were falsehoods about the resolution, that we will have nuclear storage here very soon, that thsy have full support of the governor and that thoro would be a referendum that was going to be held ip Ruidoso, but would now probably be moved to Alamogordo and would paso," Siddena wrote in the ~eport. "He aaid our members were a bunch or Juopocritoll, that hi "had roeai.ed many oft'ers on property by Realtors wanting to aall him ptoparty fur a nuclear storage fa­eiHty.•

Hudaon than indicated there would be retaliation · if the reeolution was made public:, Sid· dsils alleged.

Siddons ,ouid Wedneaday that before filing the complaint, he consulted members of the real estate group's heard and they supported his moVe,

"I have no axes to grind or crosses to bear about this thing," Siddens said. "He called me at home and more or less told Jds not to release the resolution. And wben that happens, I j_ust don't take intimidation well. I ha\'0 freedom of speech h'ke everyone else and I'm just the president .of this oqanization. My boord votod on this and I have to support my members."

Hudson said it was Siddens whe Was trying to euppreas the dissemination ofinll>rmation.

Hudson oft'ared to t""" 'a lie detector test if Siddsna wOuld dO the same. The teate wOuld J!""" the toap8yer 101penss of a CiOIIIt hearing and help avoid ~ feelings between Ruidoso and Meecalaro, Hudson said.

Miller said When lilie wB.ff brought on board by Presbyterian Health Caro Systems to head the hospi­tal, times were rough.

By the following year, the ink had changed to bladt with a $250,000 bottom line "and we never have suffered a loss since: MiJler said. .

"In Jssa thQII three years, this &tafT has not ~nly turned the hospital around, but made it to the top ~ hundred." she said. "That includes.e\oerybody, the hoB· pital board, the medical staff, support stafl' and auxil­iary. They were mOre than willing to take on new ser~ vices and challenges."

The White Mountain Elementary School Parents Ad­visory Council will meet at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, in the . teacher's lounge. Coffee and home­made pancakes will be served. All parents of White Mountain Elementary students are en­couraged to attend.

Loans are more affordable with the new program. For 1994-95, the interest rate on student Direct Loans is 7.43 percent; for parent loans it is 8.38 percent. Loan fees are 4 percent.

Renowned Western bronze sculptor, Wes Smith of Nogal, will be the featured artist this Decem· her at the gallery in the Eagle Ranch Gift. Shop in Alamogordo.

Known for his exceptional detail and the "stories" his limited edition bronzes tell, Smith's work will be on display. Each month, Eagle Ranch Pistachios presents the work of local artists in their special gal­lery/visitor's center area. All of the works are available for public view­ing. Many are also available to pur­chase.

Wes Smith is a native of South­eHstern New Mexico. He has spent most or his life cowboying and breaking horses. Inspired by his lovfl for horses and his interest in tht! horsemen or the past, Smith be­gan to explore his natural artistic tnlr.nts in 1989. Having no fonnal art training, Smith depends on his

firAt-hand knowledge of cowboys and their gear, and his experiences with horses to create his brand of authentic Weate"m sculptures. His unique way of looking at the .West or yesterday and today explains the powerful imagery found in his fine· ly sculpted bronzes.

The partnership of art and hotaes has been a good one for Wee Smith. AB he so aptly puts it, "My greatest reward is to watch an old cowboy when he sees one of my bronzes, and as he studie& it, see a grin come on his face. He will look at me, and in his eyes I can see he knows I've been there just like him."

The Eagle Ranch Gift. Shop is lo­cated four miles north of Alamogordo on Highway 54170. The shop is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more inronnation call (800)432-0999.
