Moriarty to seek grant for fire training facility Center would save money and generate revenue, fire chief says

Kindergarteners at South Mountain Elementary School prepare for a patriotic parade at the school on Aug. 28.
Area firefighters may soon be able to do their training in Moriarty instead of traveling to the state Fire Academy in Socorro. The Moriarty City Council, at its regular meeting on Aug. 26, gave Fire Chief Steve Spann the OK to pursue a $100,000 grant from the New Mexico Fire Protection Fund to construct a training facility in Moriarty. Spann said Torrance County will also seek a similar grant for the same project. “I think chances of getting it are good,” Spann said, “It’s for training and it is a regional effort.” If the grant is awarded, the city would have to add $20,000 to the project in order to accept the money. Spann requested that the match come from the city’s general fund instead of the fire department budget, but councilors were not yet ready to commit general fund money

Kindergartners are welcomed to South Mountain Elementary School as part of a patriotic parade.
K
indergarten is a strange and new experience for every child. It is a time when children learn not only their ABCs and 123s, but also that there really is a world beyond their families. They also begin to learn where they fit into that world. Those are a couple of the lessons South Mountain Elementary School teacher Kathy Florentino hopes to teach her young charges. One of the first books her kindergarten class reads every year is “We Are So Proud,” by Scott Foresman. In the book, a group of kindergarteners decorate their bicycles, tricycles and wagons for a patriot parade. And that’s exactly what Florentino does with her students, complete with a parade. That parade was held at the school last Friday as the invited guests — the schools’ other students and, of course, parents — lined the parade route and cheered on the youngsters.
Maintenance by Torrance wanted
Kindergarteners at South Mountain Elementary School decorate their bicycles, wagons, scooters and tricycles for an annual parade, which was held this year on Aug. 28.
Florentino explained that the parade has been held since the fifth-graders at the school were in kindergarten themselves. “All the kids here have been in the parade — that’s why they love it so much,” she said.

A high-speed chase ended in Moriarty Monday with the arrest of Jered McMeans and the rescue of his 4-year-old daughter. The chase started at the TA Travel Stop on Old Route 66 in Moriarty when Moriarty Police Officer Craig Meo was dispatched to do a welfare check of a young girl. The person called officers “stated that the young female looked uneasy with the adult male she was accompanied by and the male subject was yelling and cursing at the juvenile,” the criminal complaint states. McMeans led officers on a vehicle chase to Ida Road in Moriarty, then on to Interstate 40 and ended in an open field when Torrance County Sheriff Heath White maneuvered to stop what turned out to be a stolen SUV by hitting it. The child was in the SUV for the duration of the chase and received minor injuries on her lip and legs. White said deputies believe McMeans, 32, instructed his daughter to break into multiple homes through dog doors and steal from stores from Bernalillo County to Texas. McMeans was charged with child abuse, aggravated fleeing and driving a stolen vehicle. He was also booked on an outstanding warrant out of Winslow, Ariz.

Sandia Park teenager Sam Barrett started out being bored with the cello, but now music and instrument has become his passion. The 16-year-old junior attends the New Mexico School of Arts.
Passion for playing leads to new path Former EMHS student accepted at NMSA this year
■■
By Anne Reiner For the Telegraph
The cello didn’t come naturally to Sam Barrett, and when he started to play it in fourth grade he was bored. But after playing the stringed instrument for over seven years he couldn’t imagine life without it. Barrett is a 16-year-old junior in high school with a passion for music, specifically the strings. He has lived in Sandia Park for the past six years, and until recently attended East Mountain High School. Barrett’s cello career was already off to a flying start by the time he finished his sophomore year of high school. He won third place in the state wide string division of the Jackie McGehee Young Artists Competition, is a five-year member of the Albuquerque Youth Symphony program, and played in venues like Carnegie Hall in New York City and the National Music Theater in Costa Rica. He also started a band with a few friends called The Frets and the Fretless, gaining recognition both in Albuquerque and throughout the east mountains. However, Barrett’s last two years of high school will be taken up at the New Mexico School of the Arts. After participating in a statewide audition Barrett was accepted into NMSA which offers a competitive program with free tuition, one-on-one tutoring and a high regard for artistic endeavors. NMSA was founded in 2010, and is the 10th best high school in New Mexico with a student body of 212, as of this year. Uniquely, students are accepted into the school based primarily on their passion for the arts, not their economic status or previous academic results. “All the kids have a passion to be there,” said Barrett. “They are hungry to learn.” NMSA isn’t a standard high school, though. All the students live on campus five days a week, and go home on the weekends. This helps them to focus more on their academics and arts, according to Barrett, and less on other distractions. Parties, drinking and drugs are temptations that plague many high school students. But Barrett isn’t interested in all that. Instead he fills his time with people and activities that will help him to succeed in life. “It’s good to have a clear vision of what you want your future to look like,” he said. Barrett knows he wants a future that involves playing the cello professionally, and in order to achieve that he will need to keep looking forward, and not get distracted by common vices. According to Barrett, NMSA is the perfect place to unleash his love for the arts with others who share his passion. Within the classroom of NMSA, it is people like Carla Lehmeier, the school’s orchestra director and personal cello
instructor, who have seen Barrett grow the most. Teaching music at NMSA is Lehmeier’s dream job, and it’s made all the better when she works with students like Barrett. “Sam is a very respectful, genuine young man with a great sense of integrity,” she said. “At NMSA, we emphasize the need to be the best musician you can be as well as the best person you can be, and Sam is a great representation of this.” Barrett’s parents have also been an important influence on his musical career over the years. Making sure he has the right equipment, time to practice, and access to the best music programs they can find. “We want him to have the best possible preparation for life,” said Richard Barrett. “NMSA is giving him invaluable preparation if his career is in music, and invaluable experiences that will enrich his life regardless of his career choice.” Barrett’s dream job is to “be around people who love music and love to share it with people.” He is building a future with that in mind, and is surrounding himself with the best possible tools to get there.
Students and faculty from Estancia Upper Elementary School, as well as a representative of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Mexico pose for a photo after representatives from the company delivered school supplies to the school on Monday as part of Operation Back-to-School project. Throughout the summer employees of BCBS of New Mexico raise funds or donate school supplies to be delivered to school districts throughout the state. Over the past 25 years, 45 school districts and 85 different schools have benefitted from donations. Company employees volunteer and often use vacation time to help deliver the school supplies to the selected schools.

become county maintained. The county’s Road Department would like to see it maintained as well since the operators currently have to pick up the equipment and move it to the other side of the half-mile long road in order to continue blading/plowing. This is because the road is considered a private road. This inconvenience costs the county time and money, County Manager Joy Ansley said. The road is a county road that is not currently being maintained due to its being a part of a separate subdivision, said representatives of the Torrance County Assessor’s Office. But there is a fly in the ointment: the road policy states that private roads would have to be brought up to county standards before the county would accept the road and take over maintenance. “We have to follow the policy. Your request puts this policy to the test,” Commissioner Julia DuCharme said. DuCharme asked County Attorney Dennis Wallin if there are any exceptions to the provision that newly adopted roads had to be up to
specification. Wallin said the only way that could occur is if the road policy was changed. “There is still a statutory process that is supposed to be followed in order to even consider adopting a road that is spelled out in the policy,” Ansley said. The specifications include putting a six-inch base of rock and no one in the neighborhood has the money to do that, Hamilton said. When the time came for a vote no motion was made and the subject was dropped. Hamilton and his neighbors can resubmit to appear on an agenda at a later date.

Barring a really amazing explanation, SOS has to go There could be a really amazing explanation for why two-term Secretary of State Dianna Duran, the top official in the state for policing campaign contributions, was apparently depositing campaign gifts into her personal bank account, moving large amounts of cash between her campaign and personal accounts, and withdrawing hundreds of thousands of dollars at eight casinos across the state. Could be. And unless Duran offers it up — and quickly — she needs to resign. Duran has said through her attorney that “we ask the public to not jump to conclusions and we look forward to addressing the allegations in court.” Considering she is charged with 64 violations of misappropriation and misreporting of campaign contributions — including writing her husband a “reimbursement” check from the campaign, depositing it into their joint checking account and then withdrawing thousands of dollars the same day at Sandia Casino — there’s a lot to address. And, considering the length of time it takes for a case to wind through the courts, there’s really no way she can effectively run an agency with 52 employees and $2.4 million in annual payroll entrusted with “oversee(ing) the entire election process ... lobbyist activity, the reporting of campaign finances by candidates for public office and political action committees, the required filing of financial disclosures by candidates and state officials, plus the filing of a general code of conduct for the employees under their supervision” while under this cloud. Quite simply, Duran, the state’s first Republican secretary of state in 80 years, needs to credibly detail why the allegations of fraud, embezzlement and money laundering made by Democratic Attorney General Hector Balderas are just “a politically motivated case” and “a selective prosecution of a political adversary.” And she should waste no time explaining to the New Mexicans who elected her and fund her agency why casinos appear to be her banking location of choice. Or she should step down and focus on her very serious legal troubles. Balderas’ criminal complaint contains many unsettling specifics, including campaign checks deposited into her personal checking account, a campaign check written for “equipment and work” that the recipient says he never supplied and never received, and casino withdrawals of $147,641 in 2013 and $282,807 in 2014 when the secretary of state job, according to the state’s Sunshine Portal, pays $85,000 a year. On Monday, House Democratic leaders announced they are taking the first steps to impeaching Duran should she decide to stay in office. Considering the two troubled administrations that preceded her, Duran should be a secretary of state who puts New Mexico and New Mexicans first. And that means either adequately explaining her actions or resigning.
Court dissent shows need to revisit aid in dying law Since 1963, assisted suicide has been a felony in New Mexico. Yet as New Mexico Court of Appeals Judge Linda Vanzi points out, since then physicians in New Mexico have been able to legally administer terminal sedation and remove life-sustaining nutrition, hydration or mechanical life support. So why, exactly, is it illegal according to a recent appellate court decision for a doctor to write a prescription to achieve the same result? You won’t find the answer in that bare-bones, 52-yearold law. Statute 30-2-4 too-simply states “Assisting suicide consists of deliberately aiding another in the taking of his own life. Whoever commits assisting suicide is guilty of a fourth-degree felony.” It has no definitions, does not address the issues of terminal illness or dueling diagnoses, patient competency or care-giver coercion, age of consent or guardianship. In the half century that has passed since the assisted suicide ban was codified into law, much has changed in the worlds of medicine and personal decision-making rights. There’s now an important difference between aid in dying (help to hasten an inevitable, and sometimes painful, death) and assisted suicide (help to achieve a permanent solution to a temporary situation). Legislatures in Oregon, Washington and Vermont have recognized this and authorized physician assistance in dying. New Mexicans deserve that same clarity, which is too complicated to be provided by a court ruling, no matter how learned the jurists. In fact, the New Mexico Court of Appeals was so divided on the issue of aid in dying that its ruling amounts to three separate opinions in 144 pages. Writing for the majority, Judges Tim Garcia and Miles Hanisee found “no (such) fundamental liberty interest under the New Mexico Constitution” exists for aid in dying. And Hanisee argues that a different branch of government, i.e. the legislative, “is vastly better suited to consider and resolve the lawfulness of aid in dying in New Mexico than is the judiciary.” He’s right. That’s because a public representative body elected to establish laws after analysis, debate and amendment is equipped to lay out numerous “if this, then that” scenarios in statute. Judges ultimately say “yes” or “no” to the issue before them. Advocates have asked the New Mexico Supreme Court to weigh in. But before justices hear a case based on a vague and outdated statute, lawmakers should bring the law into this decade.

Let’s end Mideast wars and get to eating By Allen Dale Olson For the Telegraph
Recently I had dinner in a Persian restaurant. There aren’t many in our city — or any other American city for that matter. The shortage of Persian restaurants can’t be because the food isn’t good, though I admit it’s not generally to my liking. Even when I traveled frequently around Middle Eastern and North African cities, I longed for meals more familiar to me. No, I think there’s another reason Persian staples haven’t caught on in our country. Our Middle Eastern wars aren’t over. The cuisine of our enemies never gains a foothold until we are absolutely sure the war is finished. So far, we haven’t had a treaty signing in a desert tent such as those signings on a battleship in the Pacific or in an elementary school in Rheims, so we are not yet ready to embrace the exoticness of what our fellow
Arabian human beings eat. Think of our post-WWII rush to pizza. After the Axis powers cried “uncle,” every street corner in America got an Italian restaurant. The Germans said “enough,” and all of a sudden, our grill parties and ball parks offered us bratwursts, and we began seeing schnitzel huts sandwiched among other franchised eateries along our highway interchanges. War with Japan? It’s over. Now there are sushi bars everywhere, even in our supermarkets. Once we chased Pancho Villa around the Southwest and declared our wars with Mexico over, we established Mexican restaurants in just about every neighborhood. Even those defeated Confederates left us with a lust for Southern fried chicken and grits. You don’t see many English pubs or French brasseries along our highways, because, unfortunately for them, those nations didn’t profit from being defeated by us. By comparison,
just look at the Vietnamese and Asian places springing up across the country. While we can’t really call the Vietnam War a victory, we sure took advantage of their food once the war was declared over. And how about Thailand? T he T ha is have become strong allies, and it’s hard to find a town today that doesn’t have at least one Jade Garden or Lotus Blossom cafe. Once India declared independence, its people began extending their kitchens and food shops out of London and into America where it’s now fairly easy to find a curry and a naan no matter which part of the country you’re in. Maybe if the agreement with Iran works out and those ancient Persians learn about our suburbs and major caravan routes, they will establish places specializing in chelow, khoresht and saffron dishes. Their Mesopotamian neighbors in Iraq, by just saying, “We surrender,” could launch
a nationwide chain of drivethrough fast-food places specializing in tashrib, kababs and other specialties so beloved by our GIs familiar with oat and barley-garnished goat dishes. The proliferation of Chinese take-out buffets is probably traceable to the Gold Rush days when so many Chinese workers were impressed into hard labor and were fed by Chinese cooks. So you see, all it takes to establish a national cuisine in America is to lose a war to us. Watch out, Panda Express, this war might end, and the Persians will take over your food chain. It is culinary folly not to lose a war to the United States.

Time for new approach in Middle East By Tom H. Hastings Founding Director of PeaceVoice
In the field in which I teach, Peace and Conflict Studies, we examine alternatives to violence or the threat of violence in the management of conflict. We are a transdisciplinary field, that is, we don’t only draw from an interdisciplinary set of research findings — e.g. anthropology, economics, education, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology — but we do so with certain provisos. Our stance favors fairness, justice, and nonviolence. Our research examines both why humans use destructive methods of conflict and why and how we use constructive, creative, transformative, nonviolent methods of handling conflict. We look at interpersonal conflict and social (group-togroup) conflict. This research may be done by scholars from a wide variety of disciplines but it has implications across the board. Using our findings, what might
it look like to apply them to U.S. foreign policy in general across the Middle East? What would history suggest might be the logically expected outcomes? Some initiatives that might be attempted: n Apologize for past mistakes, aggressions, or exploitations. n Cease all arms transfers to the region. n Withdraw all troops and close all military bases in the region. n Negotiate a series of peace t reat ies w it h i nd iv idu a l nations, groups of nations, or supranational bodies (e.g., Arab League, OPEC, UN). n Negotiate disarmament treaties with individual nations, with regional groups of nations, and with all signatories. n Negotiate a treaty that bans war profiteering. n Accept that the people of the region will draw their own boundaries and select their own forms of governance. n Use economic, social, and political means to influence the region toward best practices. n Launch major clean energy
Letters Public comment made difficult WHEN LEROY CANDELARIA RAN for county commission he stated that he was for open government. How open? Not as open as many commission meetings in New Mexico. After he was elected and appointed chair of the Torrance County Commission he did not allow public comment. Later he changed his mind and allowed it. Two years later he again was appointed chair and placed public comment at the end of the meeting. Considering the commission meetings are on a working day, Wednesday, makes it, in my opinion, harder for the public to show up and comment, considering the meetings end at different times. In comparison, having public comments at the beginning of the meeting might make it easier for the public
to take time off, or the time, to show up to comment. Also placing public comment at the end of the meeting does not allow the public to comment on items to be voted upon by the commission. At the last meeting Leroy placed public comment after going into executive session making public comment still more difficult. He also scheduled a commission meeting on Martin Luther King Day on relatively short notice, which in my opinion was not necessary. At a meeting on April 15 again Candelaria had a “special meeting” on relatively short notice. At the meeting he did not allow public comment. I would not be surprised if Candelaria might justify his actions, but I would guess there are many others in public office who do a better job in the spirit of open government. MICHAEL GODEY Tajique
collaborative initiatives with any interested nation. While none of these projects would bring peace and tranquility to the Middle East by itself, that transformation is the logical outcome of extended efforts in these directions. Putting the public interest first, rather than private profiteering, would reveal that some of these measures have almost no cost and potentially high benefit. What do we have now? Policies with quite high costs and no benefits. All sticks and no carrots is a loser approach. Game theory and history suggest that measures that treat nations well tend to produce nations that act well, and vice versa. Treating Germany badly after World War I produced conditions giving rise to Nazism. Treating the Middle East as though their average citizens should live in poverty under dictatorial rule supported by U.S. military aid — while the U.S. corporations profited mightily from their oil — produced conditions that led to acts of terrorism.
Crushing terrorism with military force has proven to create larger and larger manifestations of terrorism. The first terror attack by Fatah was Jan. 1, 1965 — on the Israel National Water Carrier system, which killed no one. The escalation of harsh response and imposition of humiliating conditions helped lead us through escalating acts of terror all the way to the caliphate we see today with medieval horrors no one could predict 50 years ago, but here we are. I grew up playing hockey in Minnesota. My Dad, who played for the University of Minnesota after he returned from serving in the Philippines in World War II, was our Peewee coach. One of his mottos was, “If you’re losing, change something.” We lose bigger and bigger in the Middle East every time we apply more brute force. Time for a change. Dr. Tom H. Hastings is core faculty in the Conflict Resolution Department at Portland State University and is Founding Director of PeaceVoice.

to the board are board chairman Bill Williams of Mountainair, board secretary Debbie Ortiz of Encino, Mountainair Mayor Chester Riley, Estancia Mayor Sylvia Chavez and George Dodge of Vaughn. Two of the five— Chavez and Ortiz— were reappointed recently, and Chavez was appointed by the Estancia Board of Trustees last month. However, the Mountainair and Vaughn representatives have not, DuCharme said. Because those board members had not been properly appointed, their votes should not count, DuCharme said. “The board meetings and the actions taken by the EVSWA as a result of those meetings were not null and void,” he said. The Authority’s executive board released a statement on Tuesday saying that current board members are legal. “The fact that almost every one has served on the EVSWA Board for more than a year with the knowledge and consent of the governing body whom each represents indicates the governing bodies’ intention for them to so act and
the governing bodies’ confirmation of their appointment by their respective mayors,” the statement says. The executive board contends that, “The law establishes the principle that de facto governmental officers have all the powers of de jure officers because doing otherwise would invite the very sort of havoc that DuCharme apparently seeks to instigate.” DuCharme’s allegations are more properly directed at the governing bodies of the various EVSWA member entities that he has identified, the statement reads. Board members have gone about their duties in “good faith” and have followed the law, the statement adds. DuCharme submitted a complaint on the matter to the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office earlier this year. “The Office of Attorney General has received an inquiry regarding the Estancia Valley Solid Waste Authority Board and is in the process of reviewing the issue,” spokesman James Hallinan said. The issue will be discussed at the regular monthly board meeting at 3 p.m. on Sept. 17 at the EVSWA Office in Estancia.
