County joins state in new voting system BY DIANNE SlMUNGS Rll!~lSO \F\X' 'lt\Ff WRnl·.R

Lincoln County was the last w sign on, but with >. _roster of all 33 counties in the state now in place, a new centralized voting registration system promises to eliminate registration duplications.

Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron anr.,.._mced the new system last month after Lhe Lincoln County Commission final­ly gave County Clerk Martha Proctor approval to move ahead.

The new system, called VREMS or Voter Registration and ElectionB Management

System, is designed to organize and update voter registration information for county clerks and the secretary of state's office.

"Our goal is to create a first class, stan­dardized statewide system that will make it easier to upd!lte voter infonnation and create another barrier fur fraud," Vigil­Giron said. "We anticipated the need for a centralized voter registration more than three years ago and were successful in recetvmg funding from the state Legislature. The system we are now imple­menting is also part of proposed federal election reform ...

The legislature set aside $2 million for

the project. Vigil1 ; 'r"n 's office budgeted $55,186 to install the Power Profile voter registration system in Lincoln County, according to an April letter from the secre­tary of st'lte urging the county commission to commit to the program.

"Money budgeted is based on the county size and includes needed hardware, licens­ing, data conversion and training," she wrote.

At that time, the county was one of nine not signed up.

"It's very important to complete this pro­ject with all 33 counties included so that we

The new seating and altar arrangement organized below fi:1r safety reasons proved to be popular with parishioners and visitors, he said.

Sun Tours of New Mexico put the mission on one of its umr trips. Usually, short tours of the mission are guided by Boege! and visitors have proved to be generoUH, he said.

In December, a medieval muHicul troupe called Crisol Bufons performed a free concert inside the miH..'iion to benefit the rc•storation projf..>ct, raising $775 on a chilly winter night. Periooic l'nchiluda dinnern put tog<•thPr by parishionPrs raist>d

design for the group to follow in the months and years ahead, Boege! said. The project will be accomplished through grants and volunteer effort.

To date, the hillside has been tilled, large boulders and rocks set in place and, some planting has started.

The mission group also con­tinues to work on the Restoration Project Information Center, gathering pictures and histories. The exhibit opened to the public in May.

"In the fall, we are planning to send out announcements to invite all of the schools in the area, including El Paso, to con­sider our Mission and I nf(Jnnation Center a place for hiHlory field trips," Boege! said.

Some smaller manmade dams Jn the Rio Ruidoso were r-emoved after initial, genl•ral wamings to property uwner·s, but dozens more remain, some that will require special steps approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Mike Runnels, director Qf Ruidoso Planning nnd Zoning, said Tuesday that his department's nex:t move will be to walk the entjre river, for a eom­pletc survey of rell)aining dams and to check ownership of adjoining land where thev ar·e found.

Probably less than a dozen of t h•· dams will require special "b(•st pl'ill'­

"I thought he· was a very good manager and I hate to see him leave, but I can understand," Cummins said. "He's had some pretty tough times."

OUR OPINION.

Something· miss~ng on a holiday weekend

Patient drivers and a few cops would have hel~ traffic

A s a prime vacation desti- · nation for 'large number& of people from else­

where. Ruidoso has more than its share of t.lloBf! who seem prone to do things they never would think of doing at home in IAJbbock or El Paso or points east.

Like, last Saturday, deep into a long Independence Day weekend, with undoubtedly the heaviest tndlic of the year on Sudderth Drive - tluee vehi­cles, all with TelWS license pJates. were observed doing U­twns across fuur lanes oftmffic.

Lots of independence there. Cars.. SUVa and semis 'were ~pipe through Midtown, and anybody hoping lOr a safe left turn against tmf­dc had a stupefying wait. : Adding to the tDrture in the $ateway area was a non-oper­~ traftie signal at the

Sudderth-El Paso Road "Y" that left. no options ·open-fur anyone hoping to come offEl Paso in an attempt to get to MidtoWJL And. t.hemfbre. DO gaps in the tzaffic west to the signal at Paradise Canyon.

Patience is one of those won- · derful cbaracteristics that oth­erwise civilized people too often leave at home when ies vaca­tion time, and it was desperate­ly needed last weekend.

Nevertheless, Ruidoso is a tourist town. .

Depending on one's point of view, the 2002 July 4th week­end was a roaring success or a migraine beadaclle of epic pro­portions.

But lots of patience - and a few visible cops - would have made a big dill'erence .for those ventureoome aou1s navigating Sudderth on an otherwise gor­geous Saturday aftemooo.

·YOUR OPINION

When it's 'crisis' time, the ci~ens lose To the editor:

Guilty as charged. I did not forego Tuesday night obligations to address the village council. Do you truly imagine that more people speaking in opposition to the "fire ordinances" would have stopped their adoption?

I was here in Ruidoso when property owners becmne "'instant criminals" .if they dared cut down a living tree. As I recall. Cree Meadows golf course was required to replace a tree that was rnmoved. ' Suddenly there is a "crisis," as though the problem had not been noticed befOre. When government. at any level., can· declare a crisis, it seems the citizen is on the losing team.

Now we are also being foreed to con­struct fire-resistant homes. Has the council forgotten the crisis that resulted in a ban on metal buildings in Ruidoso?

Budget? I was told in a budget work­shop. •a budget is a place to hide money until it is spent for its real or original purpose."'

The federal government is well kiiown for mandating expensive pro­grams without mandating the money to pay for them.

The village council beat that with the threat of a lien on private property if a very expensive action is not taken by the owner. ·

Yea, I do believe politicians think we are too stupid to have or use common' sense. Therefore, they must legislate a substitute. Too bad it seldom works.

Hermn.n. Tlwm.as Ruidoso

Air subsidy a losing scheme To the editor:

Wake up, citizens of Ruidoso. The politicians are ready to spend lOOK dol­lars of your hard-earned money on a proven money losing scheme. Ruidoso has never and will never rrupport a scheduled airline service.

It is not of any benefit to this· com­munity (with the exception of a few politicians/airline execs) to, support this money-losing endeavor.

'fttere a:re better ways to utilize this airport to benefit the community.

Having been. a resident in the past, and consi~ a return in the f\J,ture, l have fOllowed the local jlolitical environ;. ~t ·in the hope that_ common sense

would return. to this community. Still waiting ...

An SAT too late To the editor:

Glen McGee Tulsa. Okla.

I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the state or the average higb-schooler's abilities in grammar. etc. ("Mountain Asides~" July 5). Your comment. "Heaven knows something needs to be done to enhance the writing and reasoning capability of your basic American high school graduate," brings the realizatiofil !-0 mind ~t by,the time SATs "ln"l! · 1:4k'eb, · -tbtme' • robils must already be in place. .

I have been substitute teaching for the past two years. That has been a shockl When I read your sample of the essay question in the SAT tests, I knew that many of the kids I know are in big trouble.

Reasoning is not something many can do in the first place. Putting it in writing IF they get it reasoned is a mon­umental task for them. And correct spelling? What P-ve seen is atrocious. They tend to write like they talk and ... and it's not a pretty sight- or sound.

I don't know what the answers are and I don't know where the ball got dropped.

It may be we should hope there is a high demand for menial labor in the years t.o oome. We are raising the work force!

What Junior did To the editor:

Julie Corter Carrizozo

So, did George Jr. engage in insider trading back when Poppy was presi­dent?

He says no, even though he was on the Board of Dil:Bctors and the Audit Committee of Harken Energy when he sold his stock in the company. Le£s look at the time line and you can make up your own mind.

June 22, 1990: Junior sells his Har-.ren stock at its high of$4. The very next month, Harken announced a $23.2 million I~ for the quarter that ended a mere eight days Q.fter Juniors stock sale. By the end of the year the stock

was selling for $1 and once again tbe lit­tle guy got the shaft.

And not only that, Junior didn't report the stock sale for eight months, first. blaming the lapse on the SEC for losing the paperwork,. but when that explanation didn't fty, he fell back on a perennial favorite: Blame the lawyers!

Then came Enron and WorldCom and a president who says be will clean it all up, but it seems to me that the poster boy for American Corporate Culture isn't the man for the job.

Letter too long To the editor:

Glenn ReminBton. 'Ruidoao

Reviewing the l(mgth of Mr~ (AI) Junge's recent letter, it would appear he was a guest editor, although nqt so noted. Perhaps I misunderstand, but isn't a letter to the editor limited to 300 words? Mr. Junge's was 942! Somewhere along the line, I not only tired of his dissertation but totally lost interest! Perhaps the last eentence said it all ..... and on and on. .. "

Geezet

Note: Correct. The ~ should have been labeled a ·coTTUI"lentar:Y~- with byline.. The error was in edit:ing.

Musical accompaniment To the editor:

Recently I purebased a home in the Pinecliff area I bad an open-house party scheduled for June 29. Somehow the musician. Ron Turner. thought the party was June 28. and came to set up the equipnient. Ron"s wife, Sherry, saw my next door neighbors start a fire, burning pine needles. The flam8 was 8 fee~ high when Sheny Turner p-q.t out the ~ and probably saved my bouse and the neighborhood.

Lottery for education For the sixth consecutive

year, the New Mexico Lottery is expected to report record sales.

According to unaudited data for the fiscal year that ended June 30 at Jltidnight, the lot­tery will also set a third consec­utive record for net profits, 100 percent of which are ear­marked for New Mexico educa­tion.

The lottery's gross sales for fiscal year 2002 (July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002) were more than $133 million.

Net profits for New Mexico's college-based Lottery Success Scholarship program broke records for the first 11 months of the year, guaranteeing that totals transferred m the state will surpass all preVious years.

Mescalero's 'dream schOOl' near completiott The public will get a dose-~p look during an open-house and celebration July 19 and 20.

BY SANDY SUOOITT Rl~!OOSO NEWS STAFF WRITER

T he 217 ,000-square-foot "dream school" for the Mescalero Apache is

. near completion, with a crew of 25 unpacking and assembling classroom fur­niture and Centex Construction Company completing the final details on the six school buildings.

Superintend~nt Ray Swinney said he's hoping to have everything ready for the ribbon cutting ceremony, open house and two-day traditional blessing and feast July 19 and 20, though that may be a stretch. He'll start moving into his office in the central administration building next week, he said.

The public will be invited to all the open-house events and ceremonies.

"We hope to be set up by Aug. 5," Swinney said. "The teachers will be in by Aug. 12 and school starts Aug. 19."

The school has a capacity for 1,600 stu~ dents, but it's not known yet how many will choose to attend this first year. For 'Btart,.up; -the sChoOl is. st8ffi:Dg for between

. 800 and l.;ooo students'. . .. "We wish we knew," he said. "We tried

to underestimate. We'd rather do that and have to hire new teachers later than hire them and have to let them go."

The central administration building will house the principals of each of the schools, the library, audiovisual produc~ tion room.,_ conference and stutJ,y rooms and the textbook room, as well as his own modest office.

Swinney proudly showed off the closed-circuit television studio, control booth and teaching classroom in that building. Librarian Bonnie McBride was shelving the 16,000 books that would go into the library for the middle and high school and another 12,000 for the elemen­tary school. Tables and chairs will be set up in the airy corridors on both ends of the library, she said, with magazines and newspapers in another room. McBride said the library will have a "huge Accelerated Reader" section by grade level.

Also in this building is the local area network system for the intercom and com­puter T -lline, connecting the school's 630 computers. Two nursing quarters, one for the ·elementary .school and one for the middle school-high school, each have an examination room and office, isolation room, shower and restroom. Separate reception areas for each school and con-

ference and resource rooms are also in this building.

In the high school building, Swinney shows off the biology classroom. Sheldon System furniture is designed for art and science, he said, and the desks can be adjusted for work from standing or sitting p<mitions.

tain everything for a computer-driven curriculwn for work in aerodynamics, desktop publishing, pneumatics, electrici­ty, digital electronics, computer graphics, pre-mechanical engineering and many other subject areas.

"We wrote this into our program because we thought it was a good hands­on learning tool that covers a broad spec­trum of interests," Swinney said. "Students will be able to design, build and test, and it even has a 70-mph wind tun­nel."

The woodworking shop is complete with a classroom to design projects, com­puter-assisted drafting of floor plans, a painting area and teachers office.

The auto mechanics shop would be the envy of most commercial shops, with its own · drive~in controlled-environment

paint booth, hoist and· areas for doing body work.

Two art classrooms are also in this building, one for graphic arts and one for• fine arts. The latter has a kiln and area for clay work and a darkroom, and both have offices, storage, demonstration· tables with a movable demonstration mir­ror, and teachers' offices.

The 483-seat auditorium, sharing a building witl'> the two 1,500-seat gymna­siums, is near completion, with a digftal projector booth and movie screen, dress­ing rooms, lobby and concesSion area. The gym area has its own lobby, ticket booth and concession area, with parking out back. It also has a weight room. lock­er rooms, teachers' office and trainer's room.

Girls generally make better grades t:him boys, but: the price is anxiety CHAMPAIGN, ill. - Girls

generally make better grades than boys. but a new study at the University of Dlinois at Urbana-Champaign shows that girls also experience more internal costs- worry, anxiety and depression - despite their academic success.

'"There may be both costs and benefits to being female as well as to being male," the authors of a study wrote in the June issue of the Journal of :Educational Psychology.

"Specificiilly, although girls may have the edge over boys in terms of their performance in school, this edge is lost when it ~Jnes to the eXperience of :b\ternal diat1'es8."

mance, their inte~ distress stops them from pursuing higher education and careers in fields such as ~ngineering and science, said principal investigator Eva Pomerantz, a professor of psychology at Dlinois. "'fa girl gets to college and wonders, 'Should I go for advanced physics?' the ques­tion 'Can I handle it?' becomes a major hurdle," she said.

The study was designed to simultaneously consider gen­der differences in academic performance and internal dis­tress suffered by children.

Data were collected three timeS from 932 fourth through sixth gradei's in a predomi­nantly white school district over the course of a year (spring to spring). Researchers gathered grades in )tmguage

arts, math, science and social studies. They also collected self-reports from children on how they felt about themselves and their efforts.

Girls outperfornted bOys in all four subjects, . although the gap narrowed slightly as chil­dren ·entered seyenth grade. Regardless of their grades, girls reported. more internal distress than did the boys. However, lower-achieving girls suffered the most.

That feelings of internal dis­tress already were ocCurring in preadolescence came as ·a mild surprise, Pomerantz said.

:Perhaps most notably, she said, the~ of-the difference between girls and boye in their grades waa only half the size of the dift'~npe between the· two in their internal cUsf,tess, e<ven

at this young age. "In this study, even the

highest achieving girls were more anxious and depressed, and perceived their abilities more negatively, than . did the high achieving boys," Pomerantz said. "However, loW·achieving girls did the worst. When they fail to get good grades, we think that they feel like they have really disap­pointed their parents, and they question their own abilities, leading to anxiety and depres­sion."

The big question, she said, is why girls suffer more internal distress than do boys while also outperforming boys.

Fire danger will deCrease soon In coordination with the National Forest

Service, . the Village of Ruidoso will reduce the level of fire . danger within its borders . from "extreme" to "vecy high" Friday, when the Lincoln National Forest reopens to the public.

However, fire restrictions remain in place banning charOOal grills, fireworks of any kind' and open burning, 'Said James Mason, public infoonation officer for the Ruidoso Fire Department.

Smoking will be allowed outdoors, but only in designated areas defilled as any outdoor public right-of-way, public or private property or area open tD the public and declared as a designated

smoking area by 'the owner. Designated smoking areas may be any fixed

area that is devoid of combustible debris within a 10-foot diameter and has proviSions for safe disposal of used smoking materials, Mason said. · "The RilidQSO Fire Department would again like to ask the pubic to exercise caution when utilizing any potential ignition source," he said. "The beautiful forest in and around ow- commu­nity still is at risk. We would also like to thank the public for their cooperation during the extreme fire danger we faced this summer. Together, we all made the difference in lieeping Ruidoso safe from fire."

out, Power said. .. "We've shipped so many of our people to

Arizona and Colorado to help on thos~ fires that we're stretched just to maintain vigilance, let. alone fight any fire," he said.

Because this area received so much help from out-of-state fire fight:ers early in the . spring with the large Kokopelli Fire that · destroyed 30 structures and other smaller fires, the Sacramento and Smokey Bear Ranger District reciprocated with manpower needed iri other areas this summer, he said.

"We will continue to monitor the condition of the forest for improvement," Power said. "Fortunately, we're making good recovery at night because of the relative humidity. A fire

would not move fast and we would have the opportunity to get it when it's small."

The Smokey Bear District lost its fire man­agement officer, Matt Reidy, to a new position in Oregon, he said. Steve Bumgarner, who worked on fire management issues as well, moved to Las Cruces.

"I'm anxious to fill Matt's position with a new person," Power said. "But he was an out­standing forester, who also showed a high degree of community involvement. I'm sure people will miss bini."

Fire restrictions prohibit open flames, including campfires, charcoal grilling and smoking. Propane and other gas stoves are allowed. •

"We want to get the public back out in the forest and help the local economy," he said.

Little League season over for Sierra Blanca· nine BY TODD FUQUA 1!1'1111. lSO :-;1;ws S!'( ti(I'S F.l>fiUil

It's not quite the way he hoped the season would enp for the Sierra Blanca Little League all-star team, but coach Ronny Montes was still proud 9f his players.

"We did well for our leagUe's size," Montes said. "Our draw was , rough, we never got to see a team of'our siie.

"We were playing with the big boys right away," he added. "But they did well and I'm proud of them."

Sierra Blanca, a team made up of all-stars from' Ruidoso and Capitan, lost to Artesia in the opening round of the District 2 tour­nament Friday and fell Monday to Alamogordo.

The game against Artesia - a 2,.0 heartbreaker-· was indica-tive of the way Sierra Bl~ca played. .. ·

· "I pitched Mike Wilson, who gave up five hits in five innings." Montes said. "We got on base 10 times while they only got on five, but we had two outs most of the time and couldn't get a hit when we needed it."

With that loss, Sierra Blanca faced tournament host Alamogordo, and the result was a 12-0 loss.

It was only 2-0 going into the third inning, but then: the wheels fell off.

"We didn't get many breaks," Montes said. "Ala.JJ1ogordo hit and we had one bad inning. They calmed down after that and started shutting them down."

Unfortunately, Sierra Blanca was unable tO get any hitting of their own and their season came to an end. , Montes was happy with the team he had, to work with, as this is only the second year Cl;lpitan and Ruidoso have combined for an all-star team. He's hoping this is the start of a good thing for Lincoln County Little League teams.

~ ElliS IIEEL/AlAMOGOROO OAil Y NEWS "This will all keep getting better,"'Montes said. "Both leagues had been down, and hopefully we11 have better participation in the future - we picked this team of all-stars from just 52 kids."

Sierra Blanca All-Star ca1cher Andy Cowan and;in Alamogordo All-Star runner collide at home dt1rin~1 the tJnys' gann~ Munday dllerfloon at Grigys Comple.x in Alamogordo. Alamogordo won the game 12-0.

Capitan girls make waves d~g summer season IY 1011 FUQUA !l_lJIDOSO ~~ ~rTQI!._- -- -- . - -

If this BlJillDleJ"s season is any indication, Capitan girls basket­ball fans will have plenty to cheer for come the new 'school year.

The Capitan Lady Tigers recently finished their season with a second-place finish in a Mid-America Youth Basketball tournament at Panhandle, 'Thxas, oompleting a summer in which they finished second or first at four different tourna­ments.

Capitan also took second at Roso.vell and Lubbock and won a tournament in Clayton.

Along the way, they compiled a record of 1.2-8 against some very stiff competition from around New Mexico and West 'Thxas. Among their wins were victories over Roswell, Goddard, Midland, Amarillo, Dalhart, Dimmitt, Panhandle and Clayton. They also lost one game to El Paso after being tied at 42-all with 42 eeoonds left..

"After our tournament in Roswell, people were all talking about them," said Gary Mitchell, whose daughter, Jessica Tul1y­Mitchell, is on the team and who acted as coach during the last two tournaments. ~ didn"t look like ball playe-rS, they're small and short. But they hustle like you wouldn't believe.

"It was fun, being from a small town like that and win­ning," he added. "'t shocked a lot of people."

Capitan's team is basicalJ,y made up of the Capitan girls varsity team, with the exception of Clarissa Silva of Ruidoso. Capitan head coach Rusty W:dcox led the team in the first two tournaments before turning over the reins to Mitdl.ell tbr the rest of the Slimmer.

SCOOP BV DIANNE STALLINGS RUIDOSO NEWS STAFF WRITER

Lets change our focus this week from dogs to cats. -

St. Martin's Press just pub­lished the "Complete Guide to Cat Care: by Wendy Christensen and the staff of the Humane Society of the United States.

In the foreword, Paul G, Irwin, society president, points out that In the 1980s, cats . "stealthily and without fanfare" became the most popular pet in America. Although dogs still are found in more homes, felines lead in numbers (aquarium fish excepted) with more than 70 million sharing their lives with humans.

The authors note that humans are lucky when chosen by a cat. They quote French writer Theophila Gautier, who wrote, "He will be our friend, if he deems you worthy of friend­ship. but not your slave."

They write that many peo­ple sort of happen into cat own­ership, some because they don't

have time for a dog. UA cat, they think, is the no­

muss, no-fuss pet - a cheap, easy alternative to a dog."

But the authors disagree. reminding the reader a cat can't be Ignored because you're too tired, busy or stressed to feed and care for him.

Many·cats are relinquished to shelters because owners were surprised to learn that they require regular veterinary care, including vaccinations, and lots of daily care and attention.

Do your homework first and decide what you're looking for in a cat. they advise.

The writers said that psy­chologists are fascinated by the "depth and power" of the human-cat bond.

While dog owners usually set up a master-subject relation~

· ship, that'$ not the norm among cat owners, they wrote.

"Cats won't stand for it; they said. cats can be trained to do things, but"not because they

recognize anyone as master." Although no one "owns" a

. cat in spirit, it's important that humans accept legal responsi­bility for their pets, buying licenses, not letting them wan-

. der, getting shots and other vet­erinary care.

Some owners maintain a parent-child relationship. a role domestic cats usually accept easily. But ideally, the owner and cat will be partners, they wrote.

Poor reasons for getting a cat include for status, for the children and in an attempt to recreate a treasured relationship from the past. Good reasons include companionship and admiration QHeline traits.

Next week, I'll hit some of the high points In the 322-page ~ book.
