MESD to resubmit closure plan to PED Initial denial raises questions By Rory McClannahan Mountain View Telegraph

The Moriarty-Edgewood School District Board of Education voted 4-1 in a special meeting last Thursday night to resubmit a reorganization plan to the state Public Education Department that would lead to the district closing two

schools. A vocal crowd of more than 400 people turned out at the Moriarty High School Performing Arts Center to let the school board, and the PED, know that they supported the reorganization that would send sixth-grade students to middle school, and close Mountainview and Edgewood Elementary Schools. “I think we need to move on this and I don’t want to wait a single solitary day to do so,” said Board President Todd

McCarty. Board Member Audrey Jaramillo, who has called for slowing down the closure process since it was introduced in November, was the lone dissenting vote. The board voted at a Dec. 17 meeting to move forward with the reorganization and the district’s application was sent to the PED on Jan. 10. The school district’s enrollment has declined by more than 2,000 students since 1999 and faced a budget deficit of up to

$1.2 million for the 2014-2015 school year, district officials have said. All of the district’s cu r rent f ive elementa r y schools have whole wings of their buildings closed for lack of students. The district received a letter dated Feb. 25 stating the request had been denied due to a lack of community involvement, and questions of whether there was an educational benefit to the plan and whether the MoriartyEdgewood district truly faces

a financial crisis.

The process Superintendent Tom Sullivan opened the meeting Thursday with a narrative of the school district’s dealings with the PED since the Dec. 17 meeting. He stressed that he and his staff had attempted to work with department division heads and administrators to assure that the district’s application was given serious consideration. For instance, Sullivan said

he was told by PED officials that the district should “keep its application as simple as possible.” Despite that, Sullivan said rumors he was hearing from state education officials convinced him that MESD should send more information to supplement the application. Sullivan added that he and MESD administrators were in Santa Fe for the legislative session in early February See MESD on PAGE 2

ver the past eight years, Janice Barela has adapted the RESPECT program to encompass many of the real world concerns of the high school students it educates. RESPECT, Reallife Education for Self Protection Empowering College-bound Teens, started by Barela, prepares seniors at Estancia High School for life outside of the rural community by teaching self-defense, first aid, defensive dating for girls, media literacy for boys and more. The program also incorporates a mock DWI arrest and hearing presided over by the Seventh Judicial District Court and State Police.

This year, Barela added three new courses to the program — automotive care maintenance, practical college student banking and 911 — what to do in an emergency. Barela said students insisted on the banking course even after she warned them it wouldn’t be fun. The course includes talk of balancing a budget, tips from Estancia alumni and advice on resisting peer pressure to spend more than you have. “Students from last year told me they wished they knew better how to manage their money,” she said. “I told them anytime you talk money it’s going to be boring, but they wanted to learn anyway.” The 911 course came about after Barela’s daughter Sharalynn got two See NEW on PAGE 2

WEATHER Temperatures are trending up, but there is still a chance for rain and snow this weekend.

Three months after their preliminary hearing, Torrance County manager Joy Ansley and contractor Christopher Valdez have an inkling of what their future holds, at least in the short run. On Wednesday, state District Court Judge Kenneth Martinez ruled there was probable cause to bring both defendants to cou r t on 10 felony charges leveled against them. Ansley and Va lde z w i l l be t r ied on fou r cou nt s ANSLEY: of fraud, one Accused of count of con- fraud with s p i r a c y t o contracts commit fraud, and five counts of making or permitting false public voucher. The fraud exceeds $20,000, making the charge a second degree felony. If convicted on all counts, the pair could be facing a maximum 46½ years in prison. Last March, the Attorney General’s Office concluded an investigation into four construction project contracts Valdez completed for the county between July 2007 and November 2008. The projects in question include the Torreon Fire Station, the Torreon playground, the Duran Fire Substation and the voting-machine storage building for Torrance County. The investigation was sparked by county resident Melody Everett’s allegations at a Torrance County Commission meeting in January 2012. Donald Jochem, the special agent in charge of the investigation, found Ansley alleged-

Floy Watson, 74, doesn’t deny she helped a friend take four scrapbooks and two craft books from the Tijeras Senior Center, or that she visited the center on March 6. But she does deny the acts constitutes larceny and trespassing. Doris Lark, 71, said she began making the scrapbooks in question about three years ago when she joined the senior center. Since then she said she has used her own money to add pictures and decals to the books displaying memories of birthdays, parties and other

events. Although she decided to leave the books at the center to avoid carrying them, she said she never intended to donate them permanently. At the start of the year many items went missing from the center, leading Lark to believe it would be wise to take the books home. When Lark and Watson removed the books they were charged with stealing. “Things had been disappearing from the center,” Lark said. “I thought I would take these home and when they find out who’s stealing I’ll bring them back.” In a letter, Tijeras Mayor

Gloria Chavez requested the pair return the scrapbooks to the Village Hall. When they did not reply, a follow-up letter stated they could not attend the senior center until the matter was resolved. Town Clerk Diane Klaus referred all questions to lawyer Wayne Bingham. Bingham would not comment on why the mayor believes the scrapbooks belong to the town and not to the woman who made them. In the incident report filed by a Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputy, the value of the photo albums is listed as zero. “It’s up to the judge to decide now,” Bingham replied in

answer to all questions. The situation escalated when Watson ignored the letter and attended the center on March 6. She also said both she and Lark had visited the center two days earlier without consequence. Watson said she had not expected to be escorted off the premises by deputies. “I was playing Mexican train (a dominoes game) when the police cars parked in front,” Watson said. “Everyone joked ‘ha-ha Floy, they’re here to get you’ but then they came in and the officers said ‘Floy? Come with us please.’” The officers, in response to a

call from Klaus, escorted Watson off the property and told her she was not allowed back. Watson described the incident as humiliating and scary, adding that she feels close to a nervous breakdown. However, Watson said she will not back down. “As far as committing larceny you can’t steal your own property if it has not been given,” Watson said. “It (the senior center) isn’t a fun place anymore. There seems to be an awful lot like harassment and intimidation.” Lark and Watson sa id they have decided to sue the Village.

MESD to resubmit plan to PED from PAGE 1

and took the opportunity to ask the division heads for the PED if there were any problems with the district’s application. “What we heard was that no one had a problem and that recommendations from divisions had to be to Deputy Secretary (Paul) Aguilar by Feb. 21.,” Sullivan said. “We had asked from the beginning of this process that we be notified if there were problems with our application. We never heard a word.” Sullivan pointed out that the denial letter had been circulating around educat ion professiona ls i n the state and community members before anyone with the school district had heard of its existence. “I had started to wonder who had received the letter from PED other than myself and the district board president, whom the letter was addressed to,” Sullivan said. He added that PED officials also have required the Moriarty-Edgewood district to prepare three different “budget scenarios” within four weeks — the last two after the denial letter was sent — using three different funding schemes. Annual district budgets are usually put together after a PED budget conference every March in which school districts learn how much money the state will give them based on student population. With those numbers, district officials will meet with a budget committee comprised of school administration, teachers, parents and community members. The process usually takes at least three months. Each of the scenarios required in February by the PED show the district with a budget deficit for 2014-2015 ranging from about $900,000

Olivia Marquez, a seventh-grader in the Moriarty-Edgewood School District, tells school board members about the importance of programs at her school during a special board meeting on March 6. to $1.6 million. “If that’s not a financial crisis, I don’t know what is,” Sullivan said. “I’d certainly like to see where the PED thinks we have this money coming in.” Since the denial letter from the PED, Sullivan said he has contacted Aguilar to set up a meeting to discuss Moriarty’s problems with the department’s division heads. “We have yet to hear back. I understand these people at PED are talking to people within our community but they can’t even find the courtesy to speak with the leadership of this district. I find that offensive,” Sullivan said.

Public comments After Sullivan’s report, the public was given the opportunity to speak, most in support of resubmitting the plan. It was clear as community members spoke that there was support from the crowd for the reorganization and anger at the PED. For the most part, speakers were

concerned about the financial consequences of moving forward without implementing the reorganization plan. Jaramillo said that she felt sorry for the crowd because there has never been talk about cutting programs and that such things are premature. “No one has said we are going to cut athletics or FFA or any other programs,” she said. Sullivan said he agreed that no one had been talking about cuts to extracurricular programs, but that people have rightfully assumed that’s what would happen. “We’ve been cutting programs for years,” he said. “I don’t see where else there would be to cut.” About 20 students from district schools got up to speak about the importance of extracurricular activities, saying that many students would leave the district if their activities are not preserved. There also was frustration among district staff mem-

bers. Moriarty Middle School Principal Rob Adams spoke for many — as evidenced by the loud cheering he received — when he said it was time for the district to stop meeting its budget obligations on the backs of students and staff. He pointed out that, in order for the district to have a balanced budget this year, all staff members were required to take a two-day furlough. In addition, the classroom materials budget was cut in half so many teachers are making up that difference with the help of parents. The reorganization will not only preserve programs, but also will help the district to reinstitute programs that have been cut in the past several years. “We want to achieve our highest potential; not achieving your highest potential unless I don’t agree with you; not achieving your highest potential if bus routes aren’t affected; not achieving your highest potential if portables aren’t used; not achieving your highest potential as long as it fits into our economic development plans; not achieving your highest potential and hopefully next year we will get some money. How many times have we heard that?” Adams said. Despite the overwhelming numbers, there were a few community members who spoke in opposition to closing the schools and resubmitting the reorganization plan. Ira Kusnetz asked the board to wait until hearing the PED’s concerns before making any further decisions. He added that, even if the district closes schools, it will still have a deficit. “I want to see why the state says we don’t have budget problems before moving forward,” Kusnetz said. “We need to know where we really stand.”

Telegraph Staff Report

Mountainair voters will go the polls once again on Tuesday to consider allowing the Mountainair School District to issue $3 million in bonds to start the process of building a new high school. The school, built in 1966, needs new plumbing and a new boiler and is terribly inefficient to heat and cool, with utilities costing about $8,000 a month. With repair expenses constantly popping up, the school district decided to hold a special school bond election. If approved, the $3 million bond means a $5.27 tax increase per $1,000 of assessed valuation of taxable property If the bond passes the district would be fully bonded, and the New Mexico Public

School Facilities Authority would most likely supplement local funding. According to a f lyer Mountainair Public Schools sent out, the schools would normally have to pay 65 percent of the cost. However, district officials say that the state would most likely step in to help pay the cost of a new school because the district will be at its bonding capacity. T he Mou nta ina i r H igh School is number 86 on the state list of priority projects, making it very likely to be approved. Typically the PSFA approves the first 100 projects, said Ron Hendrix, the Mountainair Public School District superintendant. If all goes according to plan, the district would have to start looking for an alternate building to house the 89 students currently attending the high school. Hendrix said it’s likely the district would replace the old building with a new building on the same lot.

flat tires while driving on the interstate and struggled to describe her location to her parents. “She called us and when we asked where she was she said I-40,” Barela said. “We drove up and down where we thought she’d be on I-40 and couldn’t find her. Then she told us actually she was on I-25.” Dorothy Rivera, a 911 director, taught the students how to call for help and how to identify where they are located, and participants listened to real-life emergency calls as examples. RESPECT has now spread to many schools throughout the state, each one differing slightly in skill sets taught to the students. However, Barela said, she insists all programs include a portion on selfdefense for girls since protection originally inspired her to start the program. “Especially coming from a small town, we have to teach the girls how to be aware of their surroundings in other environments,” Barela said. “It keeps them from being vulnerable if you always have that awareness in the back of your mind.” Senior Angelica Sanchez said she plans to move to Albuquerque after graduation and attend Central New Mexico Community College. Although she said she learned a lot from the automotive care

course, she really enjoyed the self-defense training. “They told us to always survive,” she explained. “It’s really empowering for women. The training is a couple days long — longer than it is for boys — since it’s a priority for us.” As the program grows, Barela said she could not have sustained it without the help of all the volunteers. “We have complete buy-in from the community,” she said. “They’re the ones that know the kids and care about them. There’s no way in the world I could have done this all by myself.” Barela said she hopes the c om mu n it y i nvolvement means the program could continue independently of her for all students of the future. She said she has heard from many graduates who teach their skills to new college friends, as well as from current students, like Sanchez, who said they feel more comfortable in many ways. “They’ve definitely taught us a lot,” Sanchez said. “All this will be useful whenever we become adults.”

ly approved multiple change orders for Valdez, adding up to a total of $470,175. In each project, change orders were approved to pay for details that should have been included in the contract bid, according to Everett’s testimony during the preliminary hearing. In one instance, involving the construction of a voting machine storage building for the county, Valdez submitted a change order for dirt work and compaction, adding $30,000 to the $23,000 contract.

In other instances the cost of materials was grossly inflated above the standard price. In addition to questionable change orders, Jochem reported he found Ansley awarded Valdez contracts without following the proper bidding process. For example, work done on the Duran Fire Substation functioned as a piggyback to the Torreon Fire Station, even though the contract added up to $76,749 and occurred in a town 70 miles away from the original site. The Attorney General’s Office maintained Valdez

had preferential access to the contracts and little oversight due to a personal romantic relationship with Ansley. A friend and an employee of Ansley’s supported these claims. Jessica Miller, who previously worked for the Torrance County sheriff, testified Ansley told her she had had a relationship with Valdez but Miller did not know when it occurred. Hannah Brazfield, Ansley’s clerical assistant, testified she saw Valdez visit Ansley two to three times a week for over an hour with the door closed. No other vendor

with the county had the same level of access. Following the testimony heard at the preliminary hearing in November, Torrance County commissioners continued to support Ansley and county operations continued as usual. However, last Monday, Camille Cordova, a lawyer working for the defendant, said Ansley was frustrated with the delay after the preliminary hearing due to a desire to clear her name and put the case behind her. Cordova mentioned Ansley was considering filing a law-

suit against Jochem after he testified he did not find any indisputable evidence of fraud in the investigation. Cordova did not return calls requesting additional comment on the ruling. Jochem recently retired, said Lynn Southard, deputy director of communications for the Attorney General’s Office. Martinez’s secretary, Connie McGarvey, said the judge had been delayed in issuing a ruling after the preliminary hearing due to a heavy work-

load with another trial he was presiding over. “Every day from eight to five for six and a half weeks he was in court,” McGarvey explained. “As soon as he got his wits together he started working on Joy Ansley’s case. When he was hearing the (Ronald) Santiago trial he didn’t have any room for breathing, and he wanted to be able to concentrate fully.” Southard said a trial has not yet been scheduled but she expects an arraignment in the near future.

News in Brief EMS debaters advance to finals Three members of the East Mountain High School Speech and Debate team — Hallie Brown, Jessi Green and Quinter Nyland — have advanced to the finals in the International Public Policy Forum. The IPPF is an international debate competition sponsored by Brickel & Brewer and NYU in New York City. By making it to the “Elite Eight” round of competition, the East Mountain High School team members have earned an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City to compete in the IPPF Finals from April 11 to 13. There, East Mountain will compete for $10,000 and the right to be named the World Champion. More than 226 teams from 28 countries and 37 states originally entered the International Public Policy Forum. Through an essaywriting competition, these teams were narrowed down to the Elite Eight, including East Mountain High School. These students now have an opportunity to showcase their advocacy skills during a single-elimination, oral debate competition in New York City to determine who wins one of the most coveted titles in debate — IPPF World Champion. This year, East Mountain is one of five American schools represented in the IPPF Elite Eight. East Mountain will compete against three international schools from Taiwan, Singapore and Slovakia in the finals. The upcoming IPPF Finals focus on oral advocacy as opposed to written debate. The IPPF semifinals and final debate will be broadcast live from New York City at www.bickelbrewer.com/

Tax reform bait for some big fish New Mexico is casting a better line into the business fishing hole, and some whoppers are eyeing the bait. The waters for business and industry improved when a comprehensive tax reform package was approved in the final minutes of the 2013 legislative session. Changes that reward rather than penalize New Mexico-based manufacturers, a lower corporate income tax and new rules to lower the effective tax rate on some businesses, when combined with tax credits, have put New Mexico in a strong position of having the lowest effective manufacturing tax rate in the region— 3.3 percent — according to a New Mexico Tax Research Institute study. Now, New Mexico is on the short list for Tesla Motors’ $5 billion battery “gigafactory” that could bring about 6,500 jobs to the state. A California-based equity analyst thinks New Mexico can land this deal if it offers a competitive incentives package. Also last week, rumors were flying nationally about the possibility of Facebook snapping up Titan Aerospace so it can use the solar-powered drones Titan produces in Moriarty to spread the Internet to hard to reach places across the world. The drones reportedly can stay aloft for up to five years over areas that need connectivity, greatly reducing the cost of using satellite service. It’s yet to be seen if this $60 million fish is hooked, but it can’t hurt that a New Mexico company and the social media behemoth are linked in the national conversation. The same goes true for Tesla’s announced interest in New Mexico. In addition to New Mexico’s two national laboratories, the area is becoming a fertile fishing ground for hightech research and entrepreneurship.

Cooperation not on the PED curriculum At the special meeting last Thursday of the MoriartyEdgewood School District Board of Education, the board voted to resubmit a reorganization plan to the state Public Education Department that, if approved, would close two elementary schools and move sixth-grade students into middle school. This is no surprise. Four of the board members have said publicly they feel there is no other way to address the district’s looming financial problems. What was surprising was that an auditorium of more than 400 people applauded that vote. A school board voting to close schools isn’t supposed to get cheers. And yet, that is exactly what happened. Of course, not everyone is cheering the board’s decision. There are some who feel that the board is moving too quickly to shut Edgewood Elementary School and Mountainview Elementary School. Mostly, though, the concern is about Edgewood Elementary. When the MESD board voted on Dec. 17 to close the schools and submit a reorganization plan to the PED, there was confidence that the state department would go along with the district’s duly elected board. That wasn’t the case, though, and finding answers as to why is turning out to be a difficult task. Since Feb. 26, when the PED informed the district that it could not reorganize because, according to the letter from the PED, the district had not got enough public input and had not proved the educational benefit nor the financial crisis sufficiently, the district has been asking the department “why” but has not gotten a response. The school district, the people who pay their taxes to support the district and the children who attend schools in the district all deserve a Public Education Department that works cooperatively not just with the MoriartyEdgewood School District, but every district in the state. The more the PED stonewalls Estancia Valley parents, the more suspicions will be raised about the true nature of this state bureaucracy.

Passing the Oscar gold on ... By Stephan Helgesen For the Telegraph

I saw my last Academy Awards ceremony at the home of a friend and in the form of a party. Forty of us gathered around the big screens to watch a bunch of whippersnappers hijack an event that used to be pretty classy. After enduring a few minutes of a folksy Leprechaunish hostess whose patter left me flat, I mentally tuned out. Believe me, this was difficult as I was sitting between TWO f lat screen TVs with Sonic Boombrand speakers cranked up to Apocalypse Now levels. Somehow I managed it. When I tuned back in, it was in time to experience the socalled interval entertainment (acts that served as segues to the next Oscar presentation). Only one word comes to mind to describe these bizarre offerings which included my absolute all-time favorite, rap music. Unfortunately, I cannot use that word here. Suffice it to say, off-key singing and screaming women climbing the upper range of the fourth octave might have been OK for Yma Sumac, but she stuck to piano and didn’t attempt DOUBLE FORTE! The hostess’s petty bourgeoisie folksiness proved to me that the Academy of

Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ intent was turning a once grand gala into a people’s event — in this case, one where the 1 percent pretended to be the 99 percent. All that was missing was self-flagellation as penance for their wealth, but that would have been difficult because few could manage a head-turn with all that plastic packed into their facial muscles. Dante’s Inferno it wasn’t, but it was bad enough for someone like me who’s already grieving for the loss of quality in other aspects of our lives. I guess the pizza de résistance was when the hostess brought in ... you guessed it, pizza pies. At that point, I was hoping there was NOT a hereafter, fearing that Sir Laurence Olivier, Lionel Barrymore or Oscar-winners of bygone days would hurl thunderbolts down on the glitterati

before they got a chance to sink their pearly whites into the mozzarella. You can probably hear that I have officially crossed over the Rubicon, that invisible line of demarcation that separates the demographically relevant from the terminally codger. I now proudly take my place among the ranks of older American men who don’t have ponytails, wear diamond earrings, sport tattoos, think 70 is the new 50 or only shop at Whole Foods. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but before I go ... I am grateful to have been part of the greatest generation of spectators who watched Hollywood’s most debonair actors and actresses from afar because that’s really where we wanted them all along — at a distance. We wanted them a bit aloof, perennially magical and larger than life. We all knew it was make-believe and fantasy. The attempt at the nouveau Oscars was like watching open-heart surgery on a loved one. Nothing explodes a myth like a magnifying glass, and we’ve now gotten way too close to the sausage-making with the Oscars. It is no longer magical but mundane. Despite that, we should all

feel blessed that we have been touched by hundreds of wonderful films of years past, and while it may sound like I’m sad, I don’t mourn ceding the field (or the Academy Awards ceremony) to the younger generation. Sooner or later they, too, will tire of listening to lyrics and melodies that go nowhere and of applauding enthusiastically at second-rate performers for fear of being ostracized by their peers. They will also grow weary of the constant struggle for coolness AND attending future artificially extravagant evenings where all they will feel is uncomfortable wearing grown-up clothes. Getting older and realizing that one’s values aren’t valued is a bitter pill to swallow, but we shouldn’t be masochistic about it. Putting ourselves into situations where we’re bound to be disappointed is nothing but destructive. That’s why I have bid the Oscars adieu. They’re going to have to get along without this curmudgeon next year.

solvency. It is very clear to us that without this plan to repurpose two schools we face a shortfall so great that next on the ever-growing list of cuts we’ve already made will be to middle and high school sports, extracurricular activities, electives and important supports for our most vulnerable children. Class sizes will be even bigger than they are now, and we will continue to have only one teacher per grade level in several of our elementary schools. If this plan isn’t implemented as proposed, the potential for a low cash balance affecting the district’s ability to pay summer checks in 2015 will be very real. I served on the districtlevel committee tasked with a very tough job. For days I sat with some of the most dedicated educators and staff members from every school in our district. We put in over 650 man-hours poring over documents, reviewing the historical budget, enrollment and capacity data. We had no agendas, we debated, and we spoke passionately for students. We were motivated by one idea: ALL students in the MESD district deserve the gold standard of curriculum, programs, teachers, support staff and facilities. Every discussion or proposal was taken to its furthest conclusion, all the while keeping in mind the greatest good. We ran through EVERY possible scenario before considering the obvious decision. This decision wasn’t made lightly.

Letters Critics of mayor may face reprisals WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY CONCERNING the scrap books and trespassing at the Tijeras Senior Center, I felt it my duty to tell another some more incidents that show Mayor Gloria Chavez’s continuous intimidating treatment of the center’s members. Early last summer Mayor Chavez started semi-regular meetings with the center members. During the first meeting it was brought up that we wanted the money we had raised over the years put into our own bank account. Currently that money was put into the village’s account and we had to go through the village to access our funds. This was complicated and took too long. She said she would look into the matter. The next meeting came about a month or so later. The first item we brought up was the issue of our money. The mayor started saying she talked to a lawyer and he recommended to not do so for various odd reasons. That’s when the meeting got very heated as many people got extremely vocal and accused her of treating us like children who couldn’t even run their own bank account. I personally stood up and told her that Wells Fargo generously agreed to let us use their facilities. The arguing kept on for at least 15 minutes. Finally, a visibly upset mayor almost shouting said, “Fine, you can have your money, the check will

be ready tomorrow.” The following afternoon I received a very strange phone call from Wells Fargo. She told me someone from the mayor’s office called with a very odd conversation. She didn’t tell me the conversation verbatim, but the gist of the call was the mayor did not want them to allow us an account! She questioned me on the money we were planing on depositing and I assured her it was money we had raised and we had every right to control it ourself. We now have our money in a Wells Fargo checking account for easy access and a control group of three manage the account. There were five people at that meeting that were very vocal on this issue of the money. Two of them were Doris and Floy and now they are not allowed in the senior center. The third was Polly. Recently the mayor’s office contacted her and told her she could not have someone living in an RV on their property (some obscure ordinance). This arrangement had been ongoing for quite a while as they wanted someone to watch their property when they traveled. The fourth was Connie, she had been picked up by the center van for over a year to come every day. Suddenly, late last summer she was told her home was too far and they could no longer pick her up. So four out the five people who publicly and vocally opposed the mayor over this money issue have had problems with the mayor since that meeting. Is this just a

coincidence or is it Mayor Chavez getting even. Oh, I almost forgot, that fifth person was myself. Why do I feel that the clock is ticking and I should keep an eye over my shoulder. WILLIAM GOSSAGE Tijeras

Mayor of Tijeras mistreats seniors VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AT THE TIJERAS SENIOR CENTER showed two members (Doris and Floy) taking scrap books out of the building. They did so because recently many items have gone missing and she didn’t want her scrap books to be stolen. These scrap books were paid for by Doris and all photos and items in the scrap books were paid for by her as well. She did this because she wanted to show the history of the center to new members and the good times that have been had there. She never donated these scrap books to the center, but left them there rather then bring them in every visit as her health problems make it difficult to carry heavy loads. Both women received letters in the mail from a village lawyer accusing them of removing village property from the center. It further went on to state the property must be returned within 10 days. After that 10 days both women had letters taped to the gates of their homes. These letters were from Mayor Chavez and stated that since they had not returned said property

their participation privileges are revoked and they are no longer allowed on the center property. Floy and Doris both came into the center last Tuesday to work on crafts. Nothing was said to them and they were left alone. On Thursday, Floy came in to play dominoes at 10 a.m. Once lunch was over and most of the attendees had left is when they struck. Two sheriff’s deputies approached Floy and told her if she did not leave they would arrest her for trespassing! The humiliation and tears in her eyes while being escorted off property was the one of the worst things I have ever witnessed. Question, why weren’t they removed on Tuesday? I think it’s because that was council election day! The treatment of these women by Mayor Chavez is OUTRAGEOUS! Why is it that it seems Mayor Chavez treats the center as her personal kingdom. Why was she even involved? Why wasn’t the center’s director the person looking into “supposedly” stolen items? On a final note, when Floy told the sheriffs the scrap books and contents belonged to Doris their reply was a judge will be determining ownership. They assume now that they will be receiving a subpoena to appear before a judge even though they were never arrested or formally accused of a crime. So until then, they are not allowed at the center or they will be arrested for trespassing! Guilty until proven innocent is how Mayor Chavez

Closing 2 schools was right decision I LEARNED A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON THIS WEEK about using my voice. Most of us in this community thought the request to repurpose two of our schools would be approved. Never in my wildest dreams, after all the hard work, documentation and factual evidence did I think a minority of voices would be able to shut down a tough but necessary step in strengthening our district. They were smart. A small group used their voices, and the majority didn’t. Those of us who agreed with the necessity of closing two schools remained silent in our assumption that the facts would speak for themselves and that any reasonable person would see the inevitable, but we were wrong. That’s over. Those in agreement with the district’s approved plan will be speaking out now. We spoke out loudly and clearly at Thursday night’s school board meeting. We have a Facebook group, MoriartyEdgewood Students First, made up of parents, teachers, and stellar former and present students that in less than a week gained 453 members. And that’s only a fraction of the support for the MESD superintendent’s and school board’s application for

There were tears, there were strong opinions, but in the end it was a decision made by professionals, community members, educators, staff and parents who only want the best for the future of MESD. So now we speak. We support locally-controlled districts that benefit the entire community. We support fiscal responsibility. We support our superintendent, Tom Sullivan, who finally had the guts to tell us the truth and stand up to a vocal minority. We support decisions made based on facts and not back-door political agendas. We support democracy. We support all our families and students, not enclaves. We support, without reservation, our school district’s plan to repurpose two schools for the educational and economic future of our community. We demand that our legislators, governor and NM PED listen to the majority and approve our proposal.

LISA HARRIS Moriarty Students from South Mountain Elementary sent letters to the Telegraph about the financial issues at the MoriartyEdgewood School District.

Save money by closing schools MOST EVERYONE IS WONDERING about the closing of the schools. Are we closing Edgewood Elementary and Mountainview or not? I’m Jocelyn Jones, I am in sixth grade. I think they should close the schools because if they don’t we will have less teachers which means more kids in a classroom, which will lead to worse learning, kids not getting what they need to understand! Which will lead to lower testing grades! Also, I am going to middle school next year and I am very concerned. If they don’t close the schools they will cut athletics and other activities out of school! If they do close the schools it could help pay for uniforms!! Those two schools have lost about half of the students they once had! Which means they are paying for not that many kids in a HUGE school! I mean they have a whole building for a library, THEY DONT EVEN USE!! Which is wasting a BUNCH of money! If you were going to close

the schools then why didn’t you close them before? And you will have sad/mad students… you don’t want that do you? Those are the reasons that I think they should close the schools. Thank you for giving me your time. JOCELYN J.

Closure benefits 9588. outweigh the cons Tijeras to host arts and crafts fair Book sale to help I AM WRITING TO TALK ABOUT THE An arts and crafts fair will RECENT NEWS being given literacy program be held from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 to our school district. Recent news has been given that two schools (Mountainview and Edgewood) are being shut down. There are pros and cons to this decision made by the school board. The main reason I am writing this is because I want this motion to be carried. Here are the Pros: Even though I will not be here for the seven and up grades, I still think that these schools will have excellent behavior improvements because of more students. I also think a pro is that we have more kids for organized groups and electives (such as drama club and sports.) These schools closing means more budget money, which will lead us to uniforms for sports, instruments for band, and such things that school electives and groups need that our budget will not cover. Here are some Cons: Some of you may have heard of many kids in the middle schools, which all of us will be going to soon. I fear that because of the many kids, there will be serious problems in the schools. Another problem is that since two schools are closing, that means it is less room for students, and more grades that teachers have to fill. So I think the things charted above will happen.

The USSYP was created in 1962, and has been sponsored by the Senate and fully funded by The Hearst Foundations since inception. The program was started to increase young Americans’ understanding of the interrelationships of the three branches of government, the caliber and responsibilities of federally elected and appointed officials, and the importance of democratic decisionmaking. Hamblin will participate in an intensive week-long study of the federal government and the people who lead it.

In addition to the program, The Hearst Foundations provide each of the 104 student delegates with a $5,000 undergraduate college scholarship with encouragement to continue coursework in government, history and public affairs. Transportation and all expenses for Washington Week are also provided by The Hearst Foundations. Hamblin attends Moriarty High School and serves as the junior class vice president. She has been and is currently involved in many leadership positions at HAMBLIN Moriarty High. Her leadership roles have included National History Day, freshman and sophomore class president, junior class vice president, and the Moriarty FFA chapter parliamentarian and chapter reporter. She is a National Honor Society member and received the United States Presidential Award in both sixth and eighth grades. Hallie Brown, a resident of Edgewood who attends East Mountain High School, was chosen as an alternate in the program. The chief educational officer in each state selects the delegates after nomination by teachers and principals.

TROTTING IN FOR A TREAT

Program lets kids practice reading without shame

■■

By Elise Kaplan Mountain View Telegraph

Sometimes all that is needed is a helping paw. The Edgewood Community Library will hold its Pawsitively Love Reading Program this Saturday to encourage confidence in children learning to read. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The library debuted the program last month as a collaborative effort with Southwest Canine Corps of Volunteers, a nonprofit organization composed of volunteers and therapy dogs. “The research is basically saying that children are more at ease being able to read to therapy dogs because they’re not a judgemental audience and not reminding them or correcting the words,” said librarian Andrea Corvin. “They’re learning to hone their literacy skills, and social and communication skills by feeling the love coming from the dogs.” The dogs, which Corvin describes as “furry dogooders,” attend the library along with their handlers and each child gets a turn to read privately. Libraries throughout the country have adopted the idea after a study conducted by Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University found “students who read to the dogs experienced a slight gain in their reading ability and improvement in their attitudes toward reading ...

COURTESY OF ANDREA CORVIN

A young reader poses with Drake, a therapy dog, after reading aloud to him during the Pawsitively Love Reading event at the Edgewood library in February. while those who read to people experienced a decrease on both measures.” The study also found that of the two groups, students reading to people were significantly more likely to drop out of the program than those reading to dogs. Corvin said she heard about the program a while ago but this is the first time she has been successful in bringing it to Edgewood. “We’ve heard really good things about the different programs that libraries offer throughout the nation,” she said. “It was a big hit with Albuquerque Bernalillo County libraries.” Nine children, ranging from toddlers to elementary age children, attended last month’s event, which Corvin said was warmly received. Although the event is typically attended by children,

Corvin added, it is open to and could benefit anyone. “We did get some positive feedback,” she added. “There has been a lot of interest in having a read to the dogs program here. We’re happy to have this program so close to home. Some of the parents said they were kind of surprised there weren’t as many children, but we’re hoping once word gets out there it’ll grow.” If hanging out with a dog isn’t enough of an incentive, the library offers a reward to children who complete multiple reading sessions. “We give out bookmarks so the kids can keep track of how many times they read to the dog,” Corvin explained. “Once they fill up the bookmark with stickers they get to go pick up a book that had been donated by a very generous and thoughtful person.”

Lisa Westfall and Loeta Calhoun took advantage of the nice weather last week and rode their horses to Sonic Drive-In in Edgewood. Many businesses in Edgewood are horsefriendly, providing hitching posts for patrons to “park.”

Two new coaches leading teams at Moriarty By Jim Goodman Mountain View Telegraph

Moriar ty has two new coaches this spring, one for softball and another for boys tennis. They’re both rookies at the varsity level, with one a longtime teacher and the other a young stay-at-home mom.

Tonya Walden, Moriarty softball Moriarty softball players Kristina Trumbull and Rebecca Anspach were worried about their team not having a

coach. When t hei r au nt Tonya Walden heard about their predicament, she said she knew it was time to step up. Walden said WALDEN: she had only Knows most coached summer ball pre- players from v iou sly but summer ball knew most of the players since they were 8 years old. Though she played

in high school and coached for nine years, she hadn’t coached or played in two years. “They (the players) know what I like and don’t like — I don’t have to yell at them,” Walden said. “They can finish my sentences.” Walden said she has been married for seven years to Rod Looper. They have a 9-monthold boy and 4-year-old girl at home. “It feels pretty good getting back into shape,” Walden said. “But keeping up with the high schoolers and with some

of their drama (isn’t always easy).” Walden said that junior Morgan Ware will be the team’s main pitcher but there are six others to mix it up with. So senior Rebecca Sanchez, who also plays behind the plate, may also alternate with sophomore Darian Foot on the mound. The Pintos are mainly juniors but there are three other seniors on the team — Melanie Sanderson, who catches and plays third base; Jessica Ortiz, center field; and

Amanda Gonzales, shortstop. “I think we’ll do pretty well — we have good role models who know the fundamentals,” the first-year coach said. “We’re just working on our core of what they already know.” While Walden said she had to refer back to books for her drills, her team has one asset that can’t be taught. “Our strength is in our bonding — there’s no arguing or fighting,” Walden said. “Our hitting is real good and we have good pitching and

catching.” Katrina Anspach is Walden’s assistant coach. “Katrina is a good motivator,” Walden said. “And she’s there for whatever I need her for.” Walden said that Bobby Sours will be her hitting coach.

Bears get burned by Dragons

Estancia’s pitchers fail to get much-needed backup from batters By Jim Goodman Mountain View Telegraph

he Estancia Bears’ pitchers had a very good opening day, only letting in one earned run. But when you don’t get a hit yourself, it’s tough to win against anyone. So the Monte del Sol Dragons beat the Bears 2-0 on Tuesday in Estancia. Estancia got eight base runners off of Eduardo Rivas, mainly on six walks, and actually threatened a couple of innings. “He (Rivas) was a good pitcher,” said Estancia coach Mike Cabber. “We made him look better than he was.” The Bears couldn’t get a hit with runners in or out of scoring position. Matter of fact, the first hit of the game for either team didn’t happen until the third inning. In the fourth inning, the Dragons’ Peter Bartlett had walked and stolen second when Rivas helped his own cause with an RBI double to left center. Estancia starter Clay Cabber got 14 strikeouts, nine looking, in six innings and Cesar Quintana got three in the seventh. Monte del Sol only had four hits but they came at opportune times. “I felt like a couple got away,” Clay Cabber said. “But all in all, I

felt good.” The Bears had two errors and one led to an insurance run in the sixth inning. Antonio Tapia of Monte del Sol hit a double, then scored when Bartlett’s single was fumbled in left field. “I thought he would take me out earlier (than the seventh inning),” Clay Cabber said. “I feel like we have a couple of good pitchers — Trevor (Noblitt) and Cesar (Quintana).” Adam Lujan led off the game for the Bears and walked, then stole second. With one out, Josh Jaquez walked and Lujan stole third with two outs. But Jaquez was picked off first and the Bears’ biggest threat of the game was ended by two Rivas strikeouts and a pick-off. Rivas had 18 strikeouts for the Dragons. Any time the Bears got a base runner, it seemed like the ensuing batters were cut down on strikes. “The umps did a good job,” the elder Cabber said. “I’m a complainer and I didn’t complain.” In the sixth inning, Lujan drew another walk to lead off the inning and Clay Cabber got on via a Dragon error. But the next two batters struck out and the third out went down on a foul pop. See ESTANCIA on PAGE 12

Parents encourage kids to find their callings as athletes

By Jim Goodman Mountain View Telegraph

The Blankenship family has a sport for all seasons. East Mountain senior Morgan Blankenship is an all-district basketball player, her sister and Manzano junior Beth Blankenship qualified for state in swimming and four younger siblings play four different sports. Although Grant Blankenship has been girls basketball coach at East Mountain, he and wife Shannon encourage their kids to follow their hearts. “I knew when I played the love that I had was for basketball,” Grant said. “It wasn’t tiring, it was a release.” He went on to say that he wanted his kids to find a love for whatever interested them. Shannon said she felt like picking an activity was a freedom that enables

kids to enjoy what they’re doing. “We have so many hard and fast, black and white rules (for kids) about safety and respect, etc.,” Shannon said. “But we also like the discipline of a coach and self-discipline to keep your body in shape.” Trying soccer when she was younger, Morgan found it wasn’t for her. “I was the kid at the end picking dandelions,” the EMHS senior said. But sister Beth found her place early and it wasn’t on land. “From a very young age, Beth was a fish,” Grant said. “I was never really concerned with kid danger — Beth would crawl off the boat or go in the pool at age 1 or 2.” Shannon said that she panicked at the danger sometimes. “Beth never met a puddle she didn’t like,” Shannon said. Beth said she learned “a healthy respect” for the water as, she joked, her parents “watched her sink.” And Morgan said that Beth was easy See SPORTS on PAGE 12

Estancia Lady Bears Leslie Gaztambide takes over as Estancia’s head softball coach after Mike Calhoon left this winter. Gaztambide brings five years of combined middle school and varsity softball experience to the table. “We’re young with only a couple of seniors — very green,” Gaztambide said. “I’m big on the fundamentals and the girls haven’t gotten used to the drills.” Senior Courtney Valdez is the Bears’ main pitcher but the coach may not be able to use her as much as hoped. “Courtney (Valdez) is very good but she has a torn (shoulder) labrum,” Gaztambide GAZTAMsaid. “That limits her pitches BIDE: New in practice.” head coach The coach said he’s leaning at Estancia on Valdez but junior Ali Helsley will probably be her backup. “We have youth all around the infield,” Gaztambide said. “We have to get better defensively.” The coach said he’s relying on his seniors for leadership and was happy to hear that Carly Coburn was joining the team. Coburn, a senior, didn’t play last year but brings another dimension to the team. “Carly’s an athlete — she’ll contribute to the team,” Gaztambide said. “(Sophomores) Lynsey Plant and Alyssa Marcinko are hungry, along with some of our other young players.” Gaztambide faced the challenge of finishing his coaching duties with the varsity boys basketball team three weeks into practice. He had a hectic first few weeks — softball practice at 7 a.m., teaching all day and then basketball at 3 p.m. Randy Archibeque is his assistant and Gaztambide said they talked a lot to keep on the same page. But now he’s back with the girls full time and Danny Ortiz has also signed on to help.

East Mountain and Estancia have been competitive rivals in softball for most of the last 15 years. With this probably being their last year playing in the same district, the area’s two 2A softball coaches talk about their young teams. East Mountain moves up two classes to 4A with realignment. All teams move up and Estancia goes to 3A. The two may still play each other but they won’t be vying for the same district title.

East Mountain is looking to better its 7-16 2013 record. Coach Frank Trusiano said he’ll be looking for some help from three seniors — catcher Samantha Griego, first baseman Hallie Simkins and second baseman Shelby Allard. “Improvement will have to come with defense,” Trusiano said. “Hitting is there See COACHES on PAGE 8

Moriarty coach favors teaching, not screaming

eople have said, albeit jokingly, that my booming voice could be heard a couple of hundred miles away. That definitely won’t be said of Moriarty football coach Bob Allcorn when he goes to coach at Bloomfield next fall. Allcorn is not your typical football coach; his softspoken manner made him more approachable after a game. And that helped me to gain the confidence to talk to coaches, win or lose, continuing my fledgling career as a sports reporter in 2007. Allcorn said that being yourself is what’s important as a coach. “It’s not trying to emulate someone you see coaching on TV,” the coach said. “Being loud and yelling is not coaching.” With three consecutive district championships and 11 years as head coach at Moriarty, Allcorn knows coaching. “Investing in a kid’s life (is important) and teaching is the most important thing,” the coach said. “Taking all the parts and putting them together is what’s important — it’s not about screaming and yelling.” Allcorn said he has lived in the East Mountain area since

GOODMAN “I have nothing but great memories (here) — it’s been a real blessing,” the coach said. “There’s nothing I can say to really sum it up.” Allcorn is also a physical education teacher who coaches track and field as well as girls basketball. He and track/girls basketball Mountain View Telegraph head coach Joe Bailey have helped each other in three sports for more than a few years. “Coach Bailey is one of my best friends—he has a great heart for kids and a passion for sports,” Allcorn said. “We’ve always supported each other personally and professionally; his wife Jill and their family is like mine.” While he and Bailey have

Moriarty football coach Bob Allcorn, who will be coaching in Bloomfield next year, says effective coaching doesn’t necessarily come from yelling. a true bond, Allcorn is quick to thank his other football assistants for his success. He said he was afraid to leave any out, and in true Allcorn character he thanked them all collectively in case he did. “I thank Peter and Gabriel Romero, Stewart Burnett, Jamaal Moore and Joe Anaya,” the future Bloomfield coach said. “I hope my job goes to one of these guys—they do a great job.” Allcorn graduated from Bloomfield in 1982 and moved to Albuquerque for college two years later.

He then moved to the East Mountains and has been here since 1986. Brittany, Jordan, Taylor and Hannah Allcorn — from oldest to youngest— have all been coached by their father, Bob Allcorn. Hannah graduated early this year and will be headed to Central New Mexico Community College in the fall. The Bloomfield alum said he also has two grandchildren in Albuquerque. He will be back to visit often but perhaps not during football season. “I’m not going to push for

a game against Moriarty,” Bob Allcorn said. “We are in different classifications, but if it happens, it happens. “You never know—but it’s hard to coach against kids that you coached,” he added. Bob Allcorn said he learned a lot during his tenure at Moriarty so starting fresh and new intrigued him. He checked out the facilities and was impressed, and he still has a lot of relatives in the area. “There’s not a better weight room in the state,” Allcorn said. “From the standpoint of having kids in there, it was the right time to make a move.” Bob Allcorn said he sees a lot of potential in his new job. He sees more financial support there in all the programs and also the support of a Youth American Football League program until middle school. “They put money in and rebuilt the school including the facility,” Allcorn said. “They have a turf field—at Moriarty every road game was on turf.” The coach will leave at the end of the school year and said finding a place to live would be a challenge. He added that he might stay with his brother and father. “The nice thing is I have

some good friends there and have reconnected with some others,” Bob Allcorn said. “I come up and visit a lot — I have aunts, uncles and cousins there.” The coach isn’t sure he’ll keep his hectic schedule after he moves. “I’ve been doing three sports a lot of years,” he said. “I might do just football (and teach).” In the midst of his time at Moriarty, coach Allcorn went to coach at Kirtland Central for one season. He said he’s beginning to put together a staff from some of his coworkers there. “It’s really been a joyous experience here,” Allcorn said. The kids are a really, really big part of my life.” I can only recall seeing Allcorn get mad twice in all the times I was on the sidelines. Both times were not for poor play—they were for a lack of sportsmanship. He still did not yell. “People have been very gracious to me,” the coach said, adding somewhat facetiously that “I’m sure some will be happy to see me go.” If there truly are any, I’m not one of them.

and the pitching continues to progress.” Amanda Caward, a junior, is the T-wolves’ main pitcher and sophomore Natalie Leach, a shortstop, was the team’s best hitter last year. “Caward and Griego are very good (hitters) also — Simkins pretty much developed last year,” the coach said. “We did quite well in hitting overall.” Trusiano said that his team lost five games by four runs or less, mainly because of defense. His team would have been over .500 with those wins. “The enthusiasm’s there and we’re trying to build a program the girls can be proud of,” the third-year head coach said. “We have 14 girls out and are seeing an enthusias-

School District, mainly at Edgewood Middle School, for the last quarter-century. The 53-year-old switched to the high school just two years ago. Upshaw has been married for 30 years and has a 24-year-old daughter. He said he coached tennis at the middle school for one year with some of the same kids he’s now coaching at the high school. And therein was the opening the kids needed. “It was the last thing on my mind — they sought me out,” Upshaw said. “The kids were saying, “Please, please, please,” because they didn’t have a coach.” Upshaw said he played a lot of tennis in school but only played golf scholastically at Eldorado

H i g h S cho ol . He played four years of golf and still enjoys it, he said, showing some sadness t hat t he gol f program is gone at Moriarty. Now he teach- UPSHAW: es both econom- Recruited by ics and Ameri- his past tencan government nis players and two of his classes are part of the dual-credit program. Kids can get up to one and a half years of college credit in that program. “Kids do better in school if involved (in sports),” Upshaw said. “I like watching the kids do well.” The first-year coach said he had to scramble to get his coaching license. But it’s been worth

school. If we build a community center to earn money for our town and schools, we could have bake sale donations, athletic donations, and more. We could even have a donation for charity. For the athletic donation we can earn money for new basketball uniforms and equipment for the teams. New classroom equipment for all the kids that are coming to our school. Not just for SME but for the other schools like EMS, MHS and so on. Not only just a community center but we need to keep our art, music, and athletic programs. It is important for kids to exercise and stay healthy. It is also important for kids to have art because some kids are really interested in drawing and painting and learning new things to make their drawings and paintings better. The same for music, it is very important. I think we should really make these opinions and ideas happen to make our town and community a better place to be. LILLIE KIDD

Closing schools would help sports I AM WRITING THIS TO TALK ABOUT the closing of the schools Mountainview and Edgewood. I like this idea because we will probably have a community center with one of the schools and if they don’t close the schools they might get rid of the sports and then more people will leave the district. We have to close the two schools because only half of Edgewood is full. If we close the schools we will have enough money for sports, why would you close basketball if they make the district money and raise their own money from Little Pinto’s camps. Football games make even more money for the district than everything else. So if we close the schools it will do us good. We will save money and most important we will have sports. MICHAEL P.

Schools’ problems affect everyone MOST OF SIXTH GRADE WONDER WHY IT IS BEING MOVED to middle school, also we wonder about the closing of the two schools, what’s going to happen to them? A swimming pool would be great, I think, but a community center would also be nice. Recently, we’ve heard that if the schools are not closed, sports and other programs may be shut down. This can cause many problems for kids that are in these programs and they may begin to fail in other subjects. Without the closings (my teacher says “repurposing”) of schools people may be forced to move or find new jobs, so this affects not only the kids and schools, but the whole town of Edgewood. BRANDON S., JR.

Move carefully on school closures

I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WHY WE ARE CLOSING THE SCHOOLS. There are some positives and negatives. The negatives are less basketball teams to play against and less variety of class teachers. Those are the negatives. Here are some positives. We get to be the big kids. The teachers here are amazing. Kids get to experience more things to do. The schools could be turned into something amazing like a comit although it’s hard to keep up munity center. Those are the positives. with all 15 of his kids. Now here are some con“In two weeks, I’ve seen the cerns. Will there be enough kids come out here and improve,” space for all the kids?

Save electives, sports for students I AM A SIXTH GRADER GOING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL next year and you wouldn’t believe how excited I am. I have come to know that next year’s sixth graders are going to middle school and a couple of elementary schools are closing. With those schools closing many parents are going to be searching for another school for their child. If these schools are not closing I’m also a little worried where they are going to get the money. If they cut some teachers there will be more students in the classes at all schools. If they don’t have enough money to keep the elementary schools open then they will also start to cut electives from middle and high school. I believe in this case that we should close a couple schools so we can have that extra money for the schools that are staying open, and in my opinion I think children need that extra education such as the electives. I do understand that parents will be trying to find their child another school, but that is not as big of a deal as finding money to keep all those schools open. Children need to be active, and with that I believe that they should have sports in middle and high school. Why would you want to cut that opportunity for children to exercise and have fun in different types of activity? As for the sixth graders going to middle school I am very excited and happy to know that the seventh graders will not be the only newbies attending middle school next year. Thank you for your support! ALIVIA F.

Closure would help middle school I AM WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THE CLOSING OF SCHOOLS, Edgewood and Mountainview. To be honest, I like the idea because there wouldn’t be as many elementary schools. Because there’s not that many high and middle schools in the district. Also, if you don’t close the two schools they might not have sports at the middle school. The reason I am saying this is because I want to play football when I get there. And we won’t be the lowest grade in the middle school because the sixth grade is moving to the middle school. Also, SME will grow about 30 students because we can hold 340 and we are just under 300 this year so we will grow to about 320 students next year. The reason we are not getting any new students is there is not a lot of young families moving out here. Because of that reason we are having more students graduate high school then we are getting younger students starting school. HAGEN S.

Sports programs critical for schools I AM ADDRESSING THIS LETTER TO THE CLOSING of the two schools in our district. Closing the schools is a very big change for some people at Mountainview and Edgewood. It isn’t much for me because I am a sixth grader at SME, so I will be leaving our school next year and move to the middle school. I was discussing this with my teacher and she told us that if they don’t approve the closings they may cut a lot of stuff, for example athletics. I play basketball and softball and the only thing stopping me from changing schools is sports. I also know many other students who are just in it for sports, so if you want to keep this district running, I suggest we close the two schools. JAIDA V.

Police Report Todd Cousimano, 36, of Edgewood was arrested by State Police on an arrest order. March 11: ■ Candice Sandoval, 31, of Moriarty was arrested by Moriarty Police on an arrest order. ■ Robert Spence, 77, of Torrance County was arrested by Torrance County deputies on a felony warrant. ■

Sports run in the family for coach from PAGE 7

to take care of. “We would just sprinkle some fish food,” Morgan said. Living in Cedar Crest, it was a big deal for Beth to go swimming. Her mother and grandmother would take her along. “I didn’t start swimming competitively until sixth grade,” Beth said. “I got in with Duke City Aquatics, run by Sandia (High) coach Becky Patterson.” Beth said she prefers sprints to distance racing but she still gets a kick out of beating her dad at any distance. He challenges her every summer and quits the race halfway. Swimming isn’t always easy, though. The Manzano team has suffered through two coaches in the three years Beth has been swimming there. This year coach Brittany Allan announced she was leaving before the season started. “There were issues with motivation — you can succeed without your team,” Beth said. “We had a ton of new swimmers and it’s hard to motivate too many swimmers.” But Beth said she didn’t want to change schools because her bilingual honor program required she didn’t. Beth also said that her club coach and Manzano assistant Paul Einerson was very helpful when he would analyze different parts of her race like turns. “Los Altos (pool) is like my second home — I love the smell of chlorine,” Beth said. She said she hoped that Einerson would go for the coaching duties at Manzano but said it wasn’t likely. At least he’s planning on staying with the team. “It’s a marvel to me how Beth and the seniors pushed themselves — Beth went to state for three years,” Shannon said. “They defy being lazy and hold their heads high.” While Beth could live in the water, she said her older sister hates it.

“I f loated around (different sports) but didn’t get into basketball until the end of my freshman year,” Morgan said. “I knew my dad played (at Manzano in the 1990s) and had fun but didn’t take to it.” Grant had helped coach the freshman team but took over the varsity reins the following year. “Forgetting he’s my dad — he’s a really good coach,” Morgan said. “I learned extra focus, though, on rides home after practice and to games.” Her dad calls it “smack-talking lessons.” But Morgan also has learned a healthy respect for the game. “My favorite part is before anybody gets there,” the senior said. “You can feel the energy before a game.” Grant Blankenship calls himself “the epitome of a gym rat.” He took to basketball earlier in life than Beth took to swimming. “Ask my mom, literally my first word was ‘backetball’,” Grant said. “Ever since I can remember in fourth or fifth grade, basketball was a yearround thing.” The gym has become important to his wife also. “To this day, my wife still tells me to go to the gym when I’m a little grumpy,” Grant said. Morgan will be going to the University of New Mexico for a premedical degree and doesn’t foresee playing competitive basketball in the near future. “It’s a long road ahead between college and work and just life,” Morgan said. “I’ll still go to open gyms.” Morgan and Beth have a brother, Jack, who at 13 is playing football and expects to go to Manzano. The Blankenships have adopted three children — basketball player Kambria, 10; runner Trevor, 11 and swimmer Kaylie, 10. “Trevor runs like the wind — he beats Jack in a sprint,” Grant said. “He (Trevor) runs laps around the house and tires out the dogs.”

Q. With the new years resolution in place and ﬁtness and activity are being accomplished what are some options to improve my energy and mood? A. Exercise and activity are essential to have in your life in order to stay happy and healthy. Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person’s thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being. Many people suffer from anxiety and depression, Doctors will more than likely prescribe an anti-depressant like Zoloft or Prozac which are in a drug class known as SSRI (Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) believed to increase the extra cellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by inhibiting its re uptake into the pre synaptic cell. Along with a healthy lifestyle a person can consider putting Vitamin B and or a multi-vitamin in their daily regimen which can improve energy and mood. As for one’s herbal alternatives 5 HTP helps improve serotonin production and St. John’s wort is widely known as an herbal treatment for depression. Gingko Biloba can increase energy. Wish Garden makes a tincture called “Genius Juice” which is my personal favorite for those weekends that have a handful of honeydews. Keep up the hard work and stop by May Pharmacy for all your health needs. Nathan Wildenstein, Dave Kersey 600 Central (Route 66), Moriarty, NM 505-832-9988

Estancia Bears get burned by visiting Dragons from PAGE 7

“I felt good at the plate,” Clay Cabber said. “But we needed more hitting in the cage.” His coach and father agreed. “It’s good to see what we have to work on,” the coach

said. “I’m not concerned that the kids are going to improve.” Mike Cabber named his son (also a shortstop), Jaquez, Lujan and Quintana (both outfielders) as keys to his team’s success this season. Catcher and field general Joseph Jaquez may

also soon be back with the team. “Clay is a great leader and Josh (Jaquez) is a great hitter and outfielder,” Mike Cabber said. “Cesar (Quintana just quietly gets things done and Adam Lujan can play any position on the field.”

The coach likes his team’s chances this year. “I think we have as good as good of a chance as anybody at winning the district,” the Estancia coach said. “East Mountain is definitely somebody we have to get past to win a championship.”

Q: A soda can exploded and sprayed all over my day/night shades. How can I clean them? A: We have had great results using OxiClean (name brand works the best) and water. You will need a piece of PVC pipe long and wide enough to hold your shade along with 1 end cap. Cap bottom of the pipe, insert the blind, warm water and OxiClean. We used the solution mixture recommended on the container. Soak for approximately 1 hour, shaking occasionally. Empty OxiClean water and fill with clean water to rinse. We found using an awning rod worked well to remove the blind. To dry, open and lay out, being careful not to stretch.

BABY CHICK

Q. Are the baby chicks in yet?

Q: Isn’t there anything besides antihistamines I can do for my hay fever?

A. Not yet, but they’re ordered and should be here in about a week to 10 days. Too bad we didn’t know the weather was going to turn to spring so early, or we could have brought them in already! In the meanwhile, come on down to Western Mercantile and start preparing for their arrival by picking up your feeders, waterers, heat lamps, feed, etc. See you soon!

A: Hay fever (medically called allergic rhinitis or allergic rhino-pharyngitis or allergic conjunctivitis, depending on whether it is bothering one’s nose, one’s nose and throat, or one’s eyes) is most often treated with antihistamines. There is wide variation in drowsiness between different medications and different people – what makes one person drowsy may Effie Medford, M.D. stimulate another. However, since all antihistamines make some people drowsy, one needs to be aware there are other ways to combat hay fever. One thing to do is to keep your face scrupulously clean, washing twice or even three times daily, in order to wash away pollens or other allergens. Applying petroleum jelly around the eyes and K-Y jelly inside the lower nostrils can make a significant difference. This facilitates catching so much of the allergen as possible before it gets to the mucous membranes to stimulate the hay fever. If the hay fever is causing a lot of mucus, many people benefit by twice daily nose and sinus lavage with something like a Neti Pot. No, nasal sprays won’t do just as well because they cannot penetrate the sinus cavities and posterior nasopharynx as a Neti Pot wash can do. Some people benefit by wearing a surgical mask or a bandana tied around their face cowboy or bandit style to filter the air they breathe. For still others, they will accept the medical risk of Kenalog shots just so they don’t have to do other things like those listed above.
