State officials agree that allowing county treasurers to accept partial !laymenta on delinqtJ.ent property taxes would benefit the state and county taxpayers, But a New Mexico state statute and Tax~tion and Revenue Department's regulation concerning collections, will have to be changed to allow the county treasurers to accept partial delinquent payments before a property goes to sale.

JANUARY 30, 2013
Have you lost patience with the reports about how much better our neighboring states are? Does it bother you (as my colleague Harold Morgan noted recently) that Texas and Utah ranked first and second, respectively, in a 2012 CNBC study for the most business-friendly state, while New Mexico was tied for 36th?

Everybody writes about this. I'm asking what we could do that hasn't already been tried and gotten bogged down some-where. ·
We are hearing the usual well-intentioned proposals about making our tax rate& more competitive, eliminating unfriendly regulations, paying for job training and improving our schools. We finally, maybe, have a deal to save our spaceport from becoming a $200 million parking lot to nowhere, but that's not certain because other states offer a better deal than whattlie New Mexico trial lawyers were willing to agree to.
One bold proposal is to tap into the state's Permanent Fund for the benefit of a new early childhood program. This proposal, which would

There are too many ways for government programs to go off track. So we hesitate to support anything that would tap the permanent fund.

history. In the 1980s Donald Chavez
y Gilbert bought the family farm in Belen, which was once part of the 1742 Belen Land Grant. "I jumped into fanning and livestock," he says.
At sale barns he began to notice that some of the sheep were different- they had hair
· instead of wool or an occasional ewe had horns. He talked to sellers to learn more. · . 'The old guys would say, 'We
would go out hunting and firid these sheep."' Or, 'When we were rounding up cattle, we'd pick up some sheep. We could never catch 'em all."'
Intrigued, Chavez began puying these oddball sheep and learning more about them, which started him on a 25-year quest to save a heritage breed.
'Tve been a student of history all my adult life," he said. A descendent ofland grant founders and pioneers, Chavez listened to his grandfather's stories haunted the library. Before long, he was immersed in Belen Founders Day-events, local genealogy, family journals, and archives.
. Spanish settlers brought a number of animals to New Mexico whose offspring are now heritage livestock- Spanish barb horses, corriente cattle,·and Churro sheep, prized for their wool in northern New Mexico
and Navajo Country; Chavez learned that his for
bears also bro-ught hair sheep to New Mexico. These breeds were fleet-footed and hardy. Belen family journals recorded a hair sheep that shed its wooly undercoat in spring. They also describe Spanish settlers fleeing the Pueblo Revolt (or massacre, depending on your point.of view) in 1680. They took with them borregos de pelo, hair sheep, and left behind the slower borregos de lana. And when farmers moved from Bernalillo to the
· new village of Alburquerque (original spelling) in the early 1700s, they brought borregos especiales de pelo.
Chavez figures that over time, the hair sheep mixed with ''woolies" or became feral, living at high altitudes where they were protected from predators and possi~ly mixed ~th. bighorns. For 25 years, he has bred out uncharacteristic features like wool while improving the stock: The product is the New Mexico Dahl sheep.
Here's how Chavez describes them on his Terra Patre Fanns website (http://terrapatrefanns.com/index.html): "New Mexico Dahl sheep appeal to both the meat and hunting industries, sporting trophy size horns on large muscular bodies." They're white, homed (both ewes and rams), good breeders, hardy, and don't need shearing. Rams can reach 250 pounds. And they're better tasti.rig than wool

sheep, he says. New Mexico Dahls are si:rnilar
to Texas Dall sheep, which are used in oommercial hunts that will set you back $30,000, but they're bigger. They also share traits with the Rocky Mountain Big Hom sheep, including large horns and muscular body frames. Chavez figures the New Mexico Dahl could also be popular for hunting, but he doesn't have enough of them yet.
"It's been anuphill strug• gle," he says. He loses about one-third of his .flock every year to thieves and predators. Each time, he loses not just an animal but years of breeding effort. But he's recruited farme~s in northern and southern New Mexico, and there are now a nalf dozen breeders. He hopes to interest 4-H and FFA kids, who would :filld New Mexico Dahls easy to raise.
HB 236, a marvel of simplicity, states, "The New Mexico Dahl Hair breed of sheep shall be an official state heritage breed of livestock" Getting the bill passed would mean a lot, and so would the attendant publicity. · 'Tm hanging my hat and coat on this bill," Chavez_ says.
The }Wundhouse is full of thorny bills. HB 236 is warm and fuzzy, literally. The New Mexico I)'ahl deserves to take its place among other state heritage breeds.

Individualism: The enemy of political ideolqgy

.Al.'guably, ifthere is any one thing that helped make the U.S. the power it is today it is our individualism. American exceptionalism is/was fueled by it. Democracy (our kind) was born of it. Our character of selfhood, singleness and particularity eventually produced benefits for all - for any who wished to partake of them.
. I once wrote an article (American Thinker, The Remnant, 2005) on Albevt J. Nock (1873?-1945), the influential American political essayist, educational theorist and social critic of the early and middle 20th century. Throughout his life, Nock was a deeply private man who shared few of the details of his personal life with his working partners. But in his books (Our Enemy, the State, Free Speech and :!;'lain Language, Memoirs of a Superfluous Man) he wrote many consequential things for'the world at large to contemplate - if they chose to. The one trait that was intertwined throughout his works was about individualism.
One of his most important quot(!s, to me, is, "If you want to improve society, present society with one improved unit -yourself."
"Friends, whe:o. in his presence, 'surpassed themselves.' ''You find yourself coming out with things you didn't know you had it in you to say," recalled one acquaintance. To me, that's remarkable, but then Mr. Nock was a remarkable man - an American original.

spreading his own 'doctrine far and wide among the popula-tion,' and then asked for advice as to whether he should do it, Nock referred the scholar to the prophet Isaiah. The lesson here is: trying to convince the masses (majority) that their shortcomings will lead to calamity and disaster can be an exercise in futility, doomed to failure from the beginning.
Instead,' it is Nock's contention that when one has something of value to say, a strong and workable principle if you will, speaking to the masses and expecting wholesale results is the incorrect approach, rather, speaking· through mass-manto the "reachable" few is the accurate and rewarding path to take. In that way your message is not prostituted or diluted in any way and remains true and -whole. It reaches those "with ears to hear," who are able to understand and make use of its intelligence. He called such people, The Remnant ~ "those with ears to hear."
As for political institutions, Albert Nock suggested two - government and state.

you have the State. In an autobiographi
cal sketch (http://alurrinus.caltech.edu/-ckank/ FultonsLair/013/nock/bi ography.html) Nock said, "I may mention one or two characteristic traits as having no virtue whatever; because they are mine by birth, not by acquisition. I have always been singularly free of envy, jealousy, covetousness; I but vaguely understand them. Having no ambition, I have always preferred the success of others to my own, and had more pleasure in it. I never had the least ·desire for place or prol)linence, least of all for power; and this was fortunate for me because the true individualist must regard power over.others as preeminently something to be loathed and shunned."
Nock's belief system, today, would fall on many dem ears. 'lbo bad, I believe he had a valued philosophy. Maybe the ''Remnant'' will one day make use of it. ·

This is an incentive, not a government pro· gram, although it does require a bit of bureaucracy to enforce it. So won't cost the state much money.
And the rest of us will benefit. Maybe this bill will make the food supply more healthful for all of us, including the children we are so concerned about.

A nll?I"lY two-year ago issued cease and desist order .against a· Dallasbased financial institution with ~ banking office in Ruidoso has been lifted. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) terminated the action filed against Southwest Securities FSB.
On Feb. 4, 2011, the U.S. 'Office of Thrift Supervision told Southwes.t Securities to stop , unsafe or unsound bank, ing practices involving bad loans.
''We are vezy pleased that the OCC has recognized the hard work our
. bank team has done to : reduce classified assets (g~nerally loans in arrears) and improve the credit quality of our loan book while maintaining profitability," said James Ross, president and CEO of SWS Group, the parent company of Southwest Securities. ''This important milestone demonstrates . the effectiveness of our . efforts to build Southwest Securities FSB into a stronger, more

ENERGY FROM PAGElA Commissioner Kathryn Minter noted. 1'It's an excellent report.;; Sandoval estimated the building envelope work at $113,000 with a savings of $2,300 a year.
While that is a 1'big ticket item," he said renovating the complex without tightening the existing structure doesn't make sense, he said.
The costs The total cost of all
work was listed by Sandoval as $635,000, but he recommended eliminating solar-ther-mal augmentation
·and/or substitution, which would bring the total down to $514,000. The full cost, factoring in
· the reduction in maintenance expense, would be recovered in 9.9 years.
Minter asked if the solar-thermal should be added later. 'We recommend never do that," Sandoval replied, ·based on cost and benefit.
"Thank you, I like that,'' Commission Chairman Jackie Powell said.
The county is paying $54,000 a year in energy expense to operate the four buildings that encompass about 40,000 square feet, "which isn't bad," Sandoval said.
''We're projecting that doing certain measures could save about $23,000 a year, a 43 percent reduction in energy costs. Our estimated cost for doing it is about $255,000,'' he said. "The lighting electrical systems typically are the easiest way to save energy by a change of fixtures ancl installation of lighting cpntrols. When people leave a room, the lights go off. It's a lowcost solution . and the biggest bang for the

The cost of a lighting upgrade was estimated at $50,000 and new sensor controls at $32,000, saving $6,000 and $11,000 per year, respectively.
The lighting upgrade would pay for itself in 7.6 years and the lighting controls in 2. 7 years, he said.
Installing thermostat controls for the buildings would cost $59,000 with an annual saving of $2,400 and a 11.7-year cost recovery time, Sandoval said.
The big problem lies with the mechanical systems for the campus, he said.
"They're in terrible shape."
The chiller is fairly new, but the boiler is ancient. Areas with package units seem to perform the best. But ductwork needs to be replaced, thermostats don't work, registers are clogged, dampers ar~ rusted and no longer functioning, he said. The building with county
agency offices is the worst, and in, "very poor shape," he said.
To turn on a. fan for air or heat circulation, an employee must stand on a chair, remove a ceiling tile and flip a switch, he said.
"I put the mechanical system in here because it is the most in need of attention," Sandoval told commissioners.
Cost vs. savings However, in a strict
cost versus savings . analysis, changing the air conditioning and heating system is not recommended because '1it doesn't fit as far as paying for itself in terms of energy savings, but it is something that can't be ignored. You have to do it. It's only working marginally and it would take more money to rip it out and fix it than just replace it."
"If I was spending my money, the lighting and lighting control can be done at any time and are not a big intrusion," Sandoval said. "It pays for itself and makes a lot of ·s~n'Se. The building envelope and heating and ventilation upgrade · can't be done without impacting the space. We

County Finance Director "Punkin" Schlarb said the county spent as much as $80,000 in the last few years on repairs and maintenance to the boiler, which is the major problem and tends to leave one side of the building frigid and the other sweltering.

Homestyle heartwarmers: Wom~'s clubs for relief Carrizozo, Ruidoso clubs to send scarves to Sandy
ERIK LEDuc e/[email protected]
CARRIZOZO ~ An alliance of local women's clubs are looking to test their grit against a pair of Sandy relief efforts.
Continuing with their current project, the Qarrizozo and Ruidoso woman's clubs are knitting scarves to send to
.. . those impacted by the ·: Sandy Hook Elementary : School shooting in '! Newtown~- Conn. ·
Though the winterwear may not be in season for long, the message the clubs want to get out, along with other organizations throughout the nation participating in the drive, is that people still care, sympathize and have the best wishes for them, Carrizozo Woman's Club President Suzi Wolfe said.
Above and at right, from left, Judy Pekelsma, Suzi Wolfe, Barbara Culler and Elaine Brannen click away with their knitting needles as they produce more scarves for those impacted by the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. ·
"They wanted to do it for the purpose of reminding all these people, the staff, the students, the first responders and all those people that there at•e still people out there who are still thinking of them and still care," she said. "It's not that they really need all this warm stuff. They're not doing it for the warmth, they're doing it for the symbolic gesture that there's a lot of people out there that still care."
Each scarf should come with a note to the unknown recipient-possibly a parent, maybe a medic or a ehild impacted by the tragedy, Woman's Club member Elaine Brannen said.
''The members are donating the materials and work' for everything," she said. "And each one's doing what they want to do- what type of scarf."
illustrating her point,
Wolfe flipped up her nearly completed scarf, resplendent in red and fairly loosely woven. Next to her, Culler worked steadily onwards with her "one stitch" ·on a tightly woven blue as Brannen clicked away on a lacy azure piece.
So far club members had finished nearly a dozen scarves and looked to possibly double that number when all are collected. Several scarves came from previous knitting spells and had been lying about, waiting for a seasonal occasion or charitable cause, Wolfe said. 'Tmjust glad the two that I'm going to add are going to find a home, besides my drawer." , "That's the problem with knitting," joked Barbara Culler, Woman's Club member and Miracle's Paws for Pets advocate. "You end up with a lot of things you don't really need. What's nice about this project is you can be at home for it, there's no special place you have to be."
The yarn rolls on The projects had come
at a fortuitous time, just as several members of the club had begun picking knitting back up . on Sundays, Wolfe said.
Club memb!)rs and other knitters in the community have slowly begun to gather for "fiber day" on Sundays in a recently opened art gallery and studio in C~ozo, Judy Pekelsma's Heart of the .Raven.
"Then we · get this email, forwarded to me actually, from the president of the Woman's Club in Ruidoso, Sue Coepp," she said. "She forwarded it to me asking us to join them and do this. We just got together, put a memo out to all our members and us die-hard knitters are doing it. We come every Sunday at noon for about two or three hours."
Pekelsma said the group had slowly and unofficially grown until every Sunday at the shop was dedicated to the fiber crafts, be it knitting, weaving or spinning the
base yarn itself. She added that she would con-. tinue to make the studio, and the advice, available on Sundays.
"Anybody that wants to come in and work on fiber, I'll help them;' she said. "If they want to keep these projects going, I out think it's great." - sweaters, caps, gloves
Wolfe added that it or even more scarves for wasn't only Woman's those on thenortheastern Club members participat- coast still struggling ing.

said no plans to slow down once they finished their scarves for Hurricane Sandy. ·
''Doing projects for different people that have a need is probably going to be a regular, ongoing thing for the Woman's Club," Culler said. "So if you miss this (project) and come to the meetings, · we'll be having another one."·
For those interested in becoming involved with the Carrizozo Woman's Club next project, or for those wishing to include hand-knit scarves and letters, vi~it them at the intersection of 11th Street and D Avenue at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 7.
The club will host a light luncheon and feature Valentine's Day decorations.
The art and history of quilting
Quilting, the stitching together of layers of padding and fabric, was done by early American settlers. These bed coverings were
cr , using only a threaded needle and available cloth, as a necessity to provide warmth during harsh winters. Then quilters used this craft to express their creativity. Today this activity is known as the "art of quilting."
For years I have been interested in quilting. I have machine-sewn clothes1 dolls, toys, quilts tops and other items for the home. Raising a family of six. children, the activity was more than a hobby. It was not until this past weekend that I learned to express my quilting creativity through special attachments, which I had never used on my sewing machine.
With the help of machine-quilting expert, Michelle Watts, I am now encouraged to machine-quilt the various quilt tops I have made over the years. Watts, a Southwest artist and fabric designer held a one-day workshop in historical Lincoln. What a great location to learn a new dimension of the ancient work of quilting.
Watts, of Roswell, has been quilting for more than 22 years. Her schedule in 2012 took her throughout New Mexico, Arizona and Texas conducting classes, workshops and lectures. She participated in the Houston 2012 Market and the Quilt E:rlllbition. She is a charter member of the Pecos Valley Quilte:rs, Roswell, since its beginnings in 1983, She is associated with several quilt guilds, including the American Quilters Society.
Calico Cow Quilt Shop in Roswell carries her fabric line and quilt patterns. Watts has authored several quilting books and has created wearable art clothing. The inspiration for her quilting designs are inspired by Native American, Spanish, Anglo cultures and southwestern landscapes. Quilters should ask at their

quarter of an acre, on June 4 in the White
· Mountain Wilderness . . Four days later, the Little Bear Fire exploded, reaching 11000 acres or rnore by late in the afternoon on June 8. As darkness was inten-upted by growing flames over the northern Sacramento Mountains, hundreds of people attending a perfor· mance at the Spencer Theater ofthe Performing Arts took to the outdoors at intermission to watch the display to the west. Later that night, as the inferno reached an estimated 10,000 acres, the orange glow was being observed· as far away as Alamogordo. Very early . Saturday morning people were moved away as the flames spread to the north and east:
"It's no where near controlled," Lincoln County Undersheriff Robert Shepperd said early Saturday ;morning. "We're
· doing a lot of evacuatioJlll."
Sections · of the area north of Ruidoso, from carnpgrounds in the Bonito Lake areat to subdivisions as far to' the east as~ the Ranches of Son terra, were evacuated .. As the stfu was rising behind thick ··smoke, ·it already was believed 15 to 20 structures had burned in the are?- where the Little Bear Fire crossed New Mexico Highway 48 in the ·Angus and Enchanted Forest areas. Flames were reported as 150 feet tall.
Conditiop.s much _of the rest of Saturday challenged the 300 to 350 firefighters and support personnel rushed in to stand up to ·lthe groWing fire . A Red ~~lag Warning had been issued because of windy and dry conditions.
Shelte1·s Were set up for those routed from their homes or calnpsites. Food .was brought in to feed them. And support. services established for both evacuees and firefighters.
The Lincoln National Forest's Smokey Bear District Ranger Dave Warnack called the open-. ing hours of the fire 's rapid spread, "A hell of a night.''
The fire had skirted the Bonito Lake area before making its eastern and northern advances.

Irony came in many hues as smoke poured across the landscape behind Smokey Bear, the well-known mascot for tire suppression.
said early Saturday. "Were trying our best to hold it on certain lines."
Key goals became holding the fire from entering drainages that feed into the Ruidoso and not allowing the flames to head south across New Mexico Highway 220 (Airport Road.) Both hopes were achieved, but ' by Sunday the fire area was mapped at some 26,000 acres.
Responcliflg to Ruidoso Assistant Fire Chief Harlan Vinq,ent, fire liaison officer Sam Whitted said a main· concern continued to be keeping the fire out of Upper Canyon.
'qf we have a fire that backs down the slopes and it · gets into the drainages, with the weather forecast, and gets established in drainages,
it could cross into the village and Upper Canyon, Whitted said. ''We're not disregarding other areas but this certainly is the highest priority."
Crews. were assigned to various points on the fire and contirtiied to work day and night. .
To help in the effort to keep the flames away from the village's southwest side, the Ruidoso Fire Department put a bulldozer and engines in the worrisome ·area.
Sunday was described as "a pretty active day" by Stewart Turner, a fire behavioral analyst with the now Type I Incident Management Team leading the hundreds of firefightElrs on the ground. But by later Sunday afternoon, evacuations for locations south of Airport
Road were lifted as the highway was not breached by the flames.
Monday brought suggestions that scores of homes and other structures were damaged or destroyed by the fire . Little Bear , as of Monday morning, had consumed 34,561 acres, according to aerial infrared imaging.
Monday also brought the first day of weather mostly favorable to bat· tling the conflagration. Most of the fire 's growth was in Nogal Canyon, said fire behavioral analyst Stewart Turner. By the end of Monday, a containment number, 30 percent, had been achieved. The number of personnel working on the suppression effort reached almost 1,000. And the fire 's bulge east of Highway 48
had been encircled with containment lines. But to the west, there were reports of fire damage at Ski Apache, a major economic engine for Ruidoso's tourism economy. Erica Enjady, with the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the Mescalero Apache Reservation, said tribal officials' were stres~ing safety first for firefighters.
·· "None of the property up there in our enterprise, our tribal lands, are worth anybOdy's life," was the message Enjady said she passed along from Tribal Vice President Sandra Platero.
Tuesday turned out to be another good period of daylight hours on the fire , thanks again to moderate weather conditions, said spokesperson Brad
Pitassi. The burn area slightly expanded to 36,242 acres.
''There's been a lot of talk about the southwest corner (near drainages that could direct fire into Ruidoso)," Pitassi told those gathered for an informational meeting at Ruidoso High School. "We now have containment lines from the work over the last 48 hours."
The announcement brought a round of applause from the better than 60 people at the meeting.
And a DC 10 slurry bomber, from Ariz(!na, was scheduled to an-ive Tuesday evening.

Because of the Zeta connection, none of them wanted to be identified.
"Everyone is talking about the situation here at the racetrack and it's tough when you see all these federal agents here," said one trainer who requested anonymity. "I didn't really know any of the persons involved. I can say the money they spent on horses was good for the horse business."
A jockey, who also did not want to be identified, said, "I can't say this is a surprise. It was just a matter of time. Nobody really knew who they were and they didn't have much connection to the area back in 2010. People just knew they spent a lot of money in the sport."

Another trainer said the federal investigation will not hurt the sport.
"Hopefully this won't hurt our sport anymore but it doesn't help it for sure," he said. "It's an unfortunate situation.~'
Qfficials with Ruidoso Downs Race Track were not aware of the investigation.
"We are in full support of the on-going investigation and have·made ourselves available for full pompliance," said Shaun Hubbard general manager of 'the track. Gayla McCulloch, a member of the New Mexico Racing Commission and a city councilwoman in Farmington, said rumors have persisted of drug money in horse racing; but she's never seen evidence of it.
"The rumors have been around for years, but do I know of anything specific? No," she said.
Lonnie Barber, director of racing at SunRay in Farmington, said he is not familiar with the targets of the federal investigation,
The New York Times reported that the FBI was searching for evidence involving Jose Trevino Morales, 45, and his brother, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales and their horse breeding business call Tremor Enterprises.
The New York Times identified Miguel Angel Morales as the second in command of the Zetas drug cartel .
"The name doesn't sound familiar,"Barber said.
Barber said he would check to see whether Jose Trevino had raced · at SunRay.

New Mexico Racing Commission Executive Director Vince Mares said the commission is dedicated to ensuring fair horse racing in the state.
''It's something we're taking very seriously," he said. "Our mission is to ensure that there's fair. ness in the industry itself."
He added, "We're taking a very aggressive approach to identifying these individuals who are willing to cheat, and we'll u13e whatever resources we can ... to help enforce these rules,"
The Zetas drug cartel is one of Mexico most powerful and violent drug organization with far reaching control of the drug trade and has become of of the most fearful drug gangs because of its brutality. Officials have said that Mexico's drug underworld will have two drug cartels at the top. The Zetas, which was begun by· special forces soldiers from Mexico who turned drug dealers, would be one of the two cartels in power. The other would be the Sinaloa drug . cartel , allegedly run by Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman.

Harris settlement (Oct. 9) Ruidoso Municipal
School District Superintendent Bea Etta Harris will be paid $75,000 to end her
employment contract with the school district. A settlement approved Tues~y by District Judge Karen Parsons in Carrizozo ended the dis· pute between Harris and the majority of the district's education board.
The dist-rict school board, on a divided vote, approved the deal Tuesday evening following a 15-minute executive session with one of the district's attorneys.
1'The events that have gotten us from point A to here are fiscally irresponsible for this district," said school board member Kerry Gladden. She and Rhonda Vincent voted against the $75;000 buyout. ·
"I've been told I've b~en
loyal to Dr. Harris," Vincent said before the vote. ''I want truth to be known that I'm loyal to my district. I'm loyal to the taxpayers. I'm loyal to those who voted for me. And I truly brought truth and fairness and benefit of all of it in this political storm."
Devin Marshall, the president of the board, said the settlement was the right route for Harris and the district.
''The friendly lawsuit that was required by PED ( New Mexico Public Education Department) was probably the best way to go about resolving these issues for our district, having both parties agree/' Marshall said. "Many times when you go
into litigation and hearings and go through those kind of things with employees, it can cost th~ district several hundred thousand dollars. And the fact that Dr. Harris cam~ to us and initiated this' settlement I think was a good act on her part, just to say let's try to figure this out in a way that's going to be best for th~ district."
In addition to Marshall, board member.s Cecil Davis and Curt Temple concurred witll accepting the settlement;'
A second motion, to. accept Harris' resignation, also passed on a 3 • 2' vote without discussion:; Both Marshall and intet.:;

im Superintendent Patty White said they had not seen a copy of a resignation.
In a petition for declaratory judgment entered in district comt Tuesday, Hanis' attorney asked for the $75,000, noting her employment contract goes through June 30, 2013. The petition also alleged that the school board had ·breached the employment agreement, causing Harris damages. The school district's law firm denied there was a breach of the contract,
The lawsuit was filed and approved all at the same time under what is known as a "friendly" agreement, where the two sides reach an amicable resolution to a dispute. Once the payment is made, Harris will provide a settlement agreement and relieve the district board of any further claims.
The school board is scheduled to go into executive session tonight regarding the employment status of Harris. The board will consider the approval of the settlement with Harris and the payment of the settlement amount. The resignation of Harris also is expected to go before the board along with the possible appointment of an interim superintendent.

On May 2, 2011, Woolf executed search warrants resulting in the collection of finge1prints and DNA samples of the two suspects. A laboratory report fro~ the New Mexico Deplh:tment of Public Safety\ Forensic Laboratory ~tated that there was a reasonable degree of scientific certainty that DNA from one of the boys was identified on the bottle rocket and duct tape. DNA also was found on the matchbook.
The investigation into the White Fire started on April4, 2011, and initially involved two Forest Service law enforcement officers, Cathy Van Camp and Patrick Blue, Lincoln County Fire Marshall Travis Atwell, and Chief Carl Bartley, the chief of the Bonito Volunteer Fire Department.

City Finance Director Terri Mosley said after making the payroll next week, the museum fund will likely he in the red.
"I think we can do it with $50,000 (from the general fund)," Mosley said. But City Clerk Carol Virden said even that would be close .. Another payday would infringe on the council's next reg¢arly scheduled meeting where museum budget reductions are likely to _be decided.·
''Are you going to be OK until the next council meeting?" Councilor Dean Holman wondered. "I think. that it's important that we not leave you guys in a situation, in re~

In July, the museum . had expenses of a little more than $77,000 while revenues added up to $17,000, Mosley said. For August expenditures were a slightly less than $51,000 with revenues of $44,000, which mcluded a $25,000.contributioli from the R.D. and Joan Dale Hubb!:!Xd Foundation. September's costs were $60,000 while revenues were $18,000.
Pay cuts and reduced staff-.
Eight options to cut expenses, all directed at employees, were placed before city councilors. A proposal to cut the museum's weekly hours of operation 'had been initially proposed but Underwood said discussion. with museum staff indicated that would not bring enough savings.
'There were proposals about a 15 percent reduction :in pay/' Underwood noted. 'There were other proposals other than (muselllll director) Mr. (Jim) Kofakis' proposal on reductions in workforce. Some involve the elimination of the director himself an.d some other posi-·tions."
Underwood sffid whatever cost cutting is taken there is a need for a fairly quick solution "to a fiscal cliff."

Eagle Bridge finished (Nov. 29) More than four years
after Eagle Drive bridge was torn away from its foundations during a massive flood on the Rio Ruidoso in July 2008, Ruidoso village councilors formally accepted a new span design structure as completed.
During the interim, a contractor installed box culverts beginning·· in December 2008 and fin. ishing in February 2009, to reestablish traffic over the river and to tie two parts of the village together. The river was rerouted through a pipe during the project.
In the summer of2011, construction began on a permanent replacement for the old brigge and a new and safer sidewalk system. Most of the work wound down in the fall of that year.
Village Community Development Director Bobby Rose, who tracks projects involving reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told' village councilors earlier this month that the total cost of the bridge was $1,182,588.60. The final reimbursement request for $496,242.39 was submitted on Oct. 10. She asked councilors to formally accept the bridge as co:rnpleted. ·

Copncilor Rafael Salas asked if the $1.18 million included the purchase of a slice of property needed at the southwest corner to avoid intruding on private property. Rose said that was a separate transaction.

RHS wins district title (Nov.13) Warrior :football team
finds nine is finei wins its first conference title since 1989
The 9-1 Ruidoso Warriors impressively shut out the visiting Lovington Wildcats, 23-0, Friday and won their first district championship in 23years.
· Once again, the formidable Warrior defense l'Ose to the occasion and denied its opponent any valid scoring opportunities and the worlmianlike offense put together a lethal running game to vanquish the only other district rival left in the D4-3Ahunt. .
It marked the third time this season that the ·warriors have blanked an adversary (they also defeated Portales, 47-0, Oct.· 26, and West Las Vegas, 55-0, Sept. 21) and mounted a 125-0 scoring advantage in the three shutouts. ·
Overall, Ruidoso has outscored its opponents, 332-140. They outscored their district rivals -Lovington and Portales -70-0.
While the Warriors committed no turnovers, they forced Lovington into two interceptions.
Ruidoso also had no

turnovers in the Portales contest.
A well-planned running game yielded RHS 336 yards against the Wildcats and they p:;tased for 59.
The Warriors held Lovington to a net of 3 yards rushing due to negative ground yardage and bad snaps resulting in lost yardage,
Lovington passed for a mere 86 yards, During regular season play they ran for a total of 1,965 yards running and passed for 1,475.
In Friday's match-up, there was no scoring in the first quarter· of play but with 10:21 on the clock in the second period of play quarterback Bryce Pom;pos scampered for a 5~yard TD run off the right side to put the Warriors up 7-0.
Devon Carr scored Ruidoso's second touchdown on a 3-yatd run/dive into the end zone at the .8:12 mark of the same quarter. Carr set this up on the preceding play, which netted 22 yards.
This TP initially :resulted because Joe Marquez intercepted a Lovington pass at midfield.
Near the end of the second quarter, Ismail LaPaz intercepted a Wildcat pass with two 1seconds left on the clock to · lend the half.
With 6:38 showing on the clock in the third quarter, Travis Mosher booted a 29-yard field goal to put Ruidoso up 17-0. Initially, the Warriors had driven the ball down to the Lovington 7-yard, line but a penalty put the ball back to the 12, which necessitated the field goal

Alcon,· of Milan in northwestern New Mexico, said he did not support the bill because his constituents, mainly older people and native Americans, did not like it.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Miguel Garcia, said he wanted to close a loophole that enables convicted felons, mentally ill people or perpetrators of domestic violence to buy guns.

About 180 people attended the hearing, a turnout so large that debate on the bill was moved to the floor of the House of Rep· resentatives, the most spacious room in the Capitol.
Most in the crowd opposed the bill. They called it a sloppy piece of legislation that would create bureaucracy but do nothing to improve public safety.
In support of the "bill were Santa Fe Mayor David Coss, his city's police chief, social workers and clergy.
They said Garcia's proposal, House Bill 77, was a common-sense way to make New Mexico safer.

Downs moves on variance addition IV.R.ow OJU<ES
The Ruidoso City CouncU tabled all the zoning ordinance changes on the agenda :for Monday's meeting except the "special humanitarian variance" addition.
"! would like to table some oftheP&Z'because this was thrown at us on Friday and this is a lot to go through," Councilor Judy Miller said. Miller was on the phone from Washington, D.C., where she was attending the Keep America Beautiful conference. "This is like three years of work."
Miller asked that the special humanitarian variance be kept on the agenda.
"We did ask that this be brought back to us:' she said.
"I feel ·the same as Councilwoman Miller," Councilor Dale Perry said. "I think we need more time to study this.''
Councilors Tommy Hood and Dean Holman agreed.
The councilors asked for a possible humanitarian variance to be · drafted after denying a request by a Ruidoso Downs couple to allow their adult daughter to reside in a recreational vehicle that would be placed on their Highlands Lane home property at the Jan. 14 meeting.
''I was directed to come up with a mecha· nism to allow the city cou.ncil and Planning and Zoning Committee to hear such a request,)' P&Z Director S t e v e Dunigan said.
Dunigan said his draft had been sent to City Attorney J o h n Underwood.
"Planning and Zoning has not heard it yet," Dunigan said. "My plan is to take it to the February meeting for review and possible approval."
Miller asked if this needed to go back before P&Z before being considered by the city council.
"Yes," Dunigan said. "The normal procedure in our ordinance is that it should be reviewed and approved or changed by planning and zoning and that has not occurred."
rr .,,
First public heating set for Feb. 25
"On one hand the Underwood said the council has directed us reason for publication of to get this done as quick- an ordinance amend-
ly as possible," Underwood said. "On the other hand I am concerned that it has not gone through P&Z."
ment was to insure that the public was informed about what was · pro-· posed and afforded an·. opportunity to provide
input. City Clerk Carol
Virden said this would not be heard before the Feb. 25 City Council meeting and the "P&Z Committee meets on Feb.3.
"So (the P&Z Committee) will have a chance to review this." Virden said. 1'They can bring their recommendations back tq the council on the 25th and we will already have a hearing scheduled."
Miller made the motion to approve this measure and Hood seconded the motion.
Before the council voted Virden asked if they . undel·stood the motion and actually moved on to the next

His bill would expand the number of regents at New Mexico State from five to seven, the same as at UNM. Voter.s statewide would elect three regents at each of the universities to fouryeiD' terms. .
Because New Mexico State is a land-grant university and UNM has a statewide enrollment base, an election system should be part of both bo8l'ds of regents, Steinborn said.
But he decided not to seek elections of all regents at UNM and New Mexico State for a simple reason. In a statewide election, it is possible that nobody from Las Cruces woUld win a seat on the New Mexico State BoiD'd of Regents, leaving the university's hometown with no representative.
His bill would require that two ofthe appointed regents for UNM and two for New Mexico State come fro.m the county where the main campus is located.

More than 1,000 dog or cat owners across the country were contacted by telephone, to find out if they had a p~an in place for their pet should something happen to them, and if so, what type ofplan.
Only 17 percent had taken legal action such as a will, a trust fund, or some other legal document, to plan for the CID'e of any of their pets should they die.
Dog owners were more likely to take legal steps to plan for their dogs, 17 percent, than cat owners, 11 percent.
Even pet owners who took legal steps to plan for their own death in general did not necessarily included their pets in that planning.
Of those who have completed a will for themselves, 42 pe1·c.:mt of cat or dog owners, only 18 percent included their pets in that will. The most common form of. estate planning for the care of pets was speak-~ ~

Created by animal law attorney Rachel Hirschfeld, the Pet Protection Agreement allows pet parents to appoint a guiD'dian for their pets, as well as set aside money to ensure that their pets receive the same standard of care to which they're accustomed.
