CYFD to hike subsidies for infant, toddler care programs

The New Mexican

Eleven days after the death of 16-year-old Victor Villalpando, New Mexico State Police investigators still had not interviewed the two Española police officers

involved in the shooting. Police say the teen was killed after he pointed a gun at an Española officer near Riverside Drive and Corlett Road on June 8. Based on information from state police, The New Mexican reported this week that investiga-

tors interviewed Officer Jerry Apodaca, who fired the shot, and his partner, Officer Ritchie Trujillo, four days after the incident. But on Thursday, state police spokesman Sgt. Damyan Brown said the interviews, originally scheduled for June 12, were never conducted. “That’s highly, highly irregular,” said Robert Taylor, a former

With a pot of extra money available in its budget, the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department is poised to spend another $18.6 million to subsidize the care of infants and toddlers. The proposed increase exceeds 25 percent, and it would come exactly one year after a national organization ranked New Mexico last among the 50 states in child well-being. “Our main focus was to pass that money on to the providers to better the quality of early childhood education,” Henry Varela, a spokesman for the department, said in an interview Thursday. “There was no specific issue that forced it.” Still, allocating more money for the education of small children has been a high-profile issue in state government, especially since the Annie E. Casey Foundation of Baltimore rated New Mexico at the bottom in its 2013 survey of child well-being. The state’s funding increase would go toward pro-

he front page of The Santa Fe New Mexican that day was dominated by news of the Red Scare and the escalating conflict in Vietnam. “Red Chinese Attempt to Shoot Off Political As Well as Atom Bomb,” read one headline. “Commies Kill ’Copter Pilot,” read another. But among the grim headlines in that Oct. 9, 1964, edition was one that, nearly 50 years later, continues to resonate in the City Different. “St. John’s Dedication Saturday,” it said. The freshman class that year numbered 81 students — 14 from New Mexico. Tuition, which included room and board, was $2,500 a year, although more than half the students received some sort of financial aid. It cost $3.5 million to com-
