BALDWIN DEMONSTRATES $48,000 SAND BOX -- Spencer Baldwin, Lincoln Countv's Office of Emer~ency Services (OES) Coordinator, demonstrated the office's recently acqu1red Simtable in the commission chamber at the Lincoln County Courthouse complex in Carrizozo on May 20th. The 3D sand table combines tactical simulation techniques used thousands of years ago with state-of-the-art hardware, award-winning software and moderri technologies like wireless data transfer and global positioning by satellite. The results are impressive. According to the Santa Fe-based developer, the Simtable "develops agent-based modeling frameworks for exploring and visualizing complex scenarios involving physical and social phenomena". Depending upon the programming, the S1mtable cab present scenarios for natural and manmade events like wildfire, flooding, airborne dispersement of toxins, traffic flow and evacuations, and is being used for training, hazard mitigation and advanced disaster preparedness. When looking at the potential for wildfire, for example, the $48,000 Simtable computes the most likely scenarios based on factors like wind speed and direction, types and amounts of available fuels, personnel on the ground and lay of the land, then presents those scenarios in stunning 3D and vibrant color, while simultaneously show- · ing the scenario on a computer monitor or flat screen on the wall.

Gov. Martinez to Spea~ at Ft. Stanton Memorial bv fatrice Brazie,

· . In many big, ·metropolitan cities like New York, London and l!ong Kong, real estate development over the past many decades bas not often included ce111eteries; it is considered to be a wasteful and

. inefficient use oflimd. Mayhap that translates to there not being sufficient profit in cemetery operation; at any rate, options for final resting places are· sometimes quite limited.

To some -veterans of the American Armed Forces, having their remains interned to rest eternally among fellow military veter-. ans ·· is of paramount importance, but can also demand bunal a distance fro111 one's home and family. With only two national cemeteries in New Mexico, one in Santa Fe and one in Fort Bayard, the distance from home for a big percentage of the state~s 170,000 vets is 100 miles-or-more.

In April, New Mexico CJovernor Susanna Martinez announced a plan to create four state veterans' cemeteries, one of them at Fort Stanton. here in Lincoln Cowi.ty. The other· cemeteries Will be located · in Gallup~ Angel Fire and Carlsbad.

Martinez said that the new cemeteries initiative will provide federally-rated final restihg places that are closer to horne for a greater number ofNew Mexico's military veterans.

In a press release issued by Martinez' office last week, the governor announced that she will attend and speak at the May 25th, veterans' memorial service at Fort Stanton. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the annual ceremonies at the fort, and the 115th anniversary of the cemetery itself.

The memorial service at Fort Stanton will commence at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday; the public

Capitan Trustees Cool to Request for Ordinance to Mandate Voters Have Photo ID

by Doris Cherry

Capitan trustees gave a cool shoulder to a request for the village to adopt an ordinance mandating the use of photo identification (:ards in order to vote in village elections.

Trustees heard the request from Karyl Williams, who did not identify herself beyond saying she organized a ~roup named "New Mexico ElectiOn Oversight" that sends volunteers to oversee voting at all Lincoln County election centers.

Williams said she organized the group and was seeking the ordinance fot photn IDs because of incidences of "stolen votes" in the last election. Williams offered a sample ordinance that would require the voter to present a photo ID in order to vote in municipal elections. She said the cities of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho and another in the state have adopted such ordinances.

When asked by trustee Lilly Bradley if the group had gone to the state with their proposed photo ID requirement, Williams said her group and others have attempted for four years to get the legislature to adopt state laws requiring photo ID in order

to vote, but each time have been rejected.

To further support her proposed ordinance for the photo ID, Williams said no one can do anything in this country without a picture ID-buy liquor~ apply for benefits. "Yet to have someone steal a vote, you don't need an ID," she added.

Williams went on to say that a person can register to vote in New Mexico without any proof of residence, or . citizenship, and actually vote by only giving a birth date. She said the only thing needed to steal a vote is a birth date. To further justify her request for the proposed onlinance, Williams said she personally ·knows three people whose votes were "stolen" in early voting in the last general election.

THE NEWS asked if there have been instances of voter fraud in the Capitan municipal elections. Village clerk Kay Strickland said since she has been clerk there has been no instances of voter fraud. Williams provided copies of .a press release from a private organization called "Rasmussen" that cited several polls conducted by Rasmussen showing an huge majority of the people

Alleged middle school shooter changes plea ROSWELL- Mason Campbell, the 12-year-old boy accused of shooting two classmates at Berrendo Middle School, changed his plea from "not guilty" to "no contest" Friday morning at the Chaves Cmmty Courthouse.

Through his attorneys, Campbell offered an apology to the victims of the shooting during the plea heating.

"Mason accepts full responsibility for his actions and does apologize to his victims and their families," said defense attorney Jason Bowles of the Bowles Law Firm in Albuquerque.

While changing his plea to "no contest," Campbell calmly answered "yes" as Judge Freddie Romero questioned him about whether he understood what the plea change meant, and if Campbell understood that he was giving up his constitutional rights by changing his plea. A date of July 2 was set for disposition of the case, which is the juvenile version of sentencing. Romero will decide Campbell's fate after a hearing at which the shooting victims and their fmnilies are expected to testify.

Romero told Campbell that disposition options range from supervised release to incarceration until the age of 21.

Police say Campbell, armed with a shotgun, opened fire at the middle school on Jan. 14, seriously wounding two students before a staff member persuaded him to put down the firearm. · .

Wounded were 13-year-old Kendal Sanders and 12-year-old Natharuel Tavarez. .

Both children survived, but still suffer from their wounds. -Roswell Daily Record

(Editor's note: The print out of the press release states additional information about the survey and a full demographic breakdown are available to Platinum Members only.)

Election worker Lara McGinnis was in the audience and said she had no opinion either way on the issue of Photo Ids, however, she said anyone first registering to vote by mail must show their photo ID when they cast their first ballot. ''There are also a lot of elderly voters here without an ID because they don't drive anymore," Mcinnis added. She also asked if the county would issue photo voter registration cards, which it would not.

Bradley, senior center site director, agreed that many elderly in the community do not have photo ID and she was skeptical of passing an ordinance requiring this.

An audience member suggested trustees put the issue up to vote, so it wouldn't be ''politicized.".

After some more discussion, trustees made no decisions about the request and went on to, the nef{t ag~n~ da item. ' · ' • · ··

given a 30-minute period at the front end of the meeting and another 30· minute period at the end, after the board had completed its business. Justin Weeks, president of the Silver City Education Association, affiliated with the New Mexico Education Association and the National Education Association, stated that at a ratification meeting the day before, a new district contract was unanimously ratified and that "the district team worked really hard with the teachers on that." .

"What you see before you tonight," Weeks said as he addressed the board, "is a coalition of concerned parents, business people, officials, religious leaders, students and teachers who are here for one reason. We see a failure of leadership in our district at the very highest level." ·

Weeks urged the board members to listen to the people who elected them. · ·

"A climate of secrecy and fear has been created in the district that has never exi'Sted before," Weeks said. "Teachers, staff and administrators live in daily fear of retaliation. This year, in unprecedented numbers, (Superintendent Lon) Streib has removed district staff from their positions and put them on administrative leave while investigating allegations."

Silver Schools is not in a crisis, Weeks said, but has suffered a crisis of leadership.

THOUGHTS GUEST EDITORIAL

by Jeff Hammond son of Co-Publisher, RUTH HAMMOND

Monday, May 26th

Have you ever been in a cemetery and saw coins laying on a tombstone?

There is actually a reason behind it.. COINS LEFT ON TOMBSTONES While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certam graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave. These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America's military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

A coin left on a headstone o'r at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained-at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the solider when he was killed.

According to tradition, the money left at graves in national cemeteries and state vet- I

erans cemeteries is eventually collected, and the funds are put toward maintaining the cemetery or paying burial costs for indigent veterans.

In the US, this practice became common during the Vietnam war, due to the political divide in the country over the war; leaving a coin was seen as a more practical way to communicate that you had visited the grave than contacting the soldier's family, which could devolve into an uncomfortable argument over politics relating to the war.

Some Vietnam veterans would leave coins as a "down payment" to buy their fallen comrades a beer or play a hand of cards when · they would finally be reunited. The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military men and women can be traced to as far back as the Roman Empire.

shortly after the bomb's explosion- so to suggest that the cancer rate in that area has nothing to do with the bomb is absurd.

The fact is, we've got contamination all over the place, and the lack of truth-telling is a big problem in dealing with it. That's not to say the federal EPA and the state Environment Department, at those recent public hearings in western New Mexico, weren't telling it like it is, but where were they years ago when the mining operations did their damage? ·

In bed, I suspect, with the extractors themselves. . .

OPINION·· Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity


one moment, would you capture it? Or just let it slip, yo?"

OK, he has our attention. And a lot of young people can sing the chorus: "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it. You better better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo."

It's selfish and matenalistic, all about instant gratification. We want "success," and we want it now. We want to seize it. Immediately. We get this one chance, and if we fail, we're failures.

That is not how life is. It's a long, gradual process involving

invention, reinvention, growth and setbacks. Mistakes, too. Lots of them. We come across countless opportunities. Some we take and · some we miss. We try, we try again, until we figure out what "success" really means to us. Then, if we're smart, we seize that.

So my advice to this year's graduates is to sit down now, try to define what "success" really means, set off on a long, gradual journey . toward achievin~ that.

And don t be afraid when the defmition evolves or changes dramatically over time. Do that. Do it sincerely. And I'm certain you'll be . a "success." ..

JUDI CHRISTOPHER'S

Psychic Predictions (Con't. from P. 1)

what you have planted, not what others plant for you. Toll the soil... or is that soul? Bring new life to the old.

PIECES: Feb 19 ~ Mar 20

Money maybe escaping you, even though you feel you work hard for your money. That's not the problem here. It's working smart and not spending on unnecessary things ... You need to save for that rainy day and save for the BIG purchase you want to buy 111 the future. Hide or cut up your "Cards"... pay cash... and you'll curb your St:Jending. There is somethmg in the future you need to safe your money for. Start today!

ARIES: Mar 21 - April19

Someone maybe needing your help ... usually you wouldn't mind helping anyone... but this time you need to ask yourself if this person needs to LEARN a valuable lesson. If you keep giving hand outs then you're not teaching this person to stand on their own two feet... especially a loved one .... Do not enable them to the po1nt you'll have to PAY for them for the rest of their life.... This is a good time to say "NO" ... Help them to help themselves ...

TAURUS: April 20 - May 20

Whew... watch that temper now ... it could get the best of you... and I'm talking about your health! Do not allow anyone or anything to put your life in risk. L~arn to · control your· feelings ... Walk away if need be. This is serious... if you have made it a (bad) habit of flying off the handle because "That's just who I .am!" kind of person ... Well, your time is coming... your health can't stand the strain ... If someone or something is making you this mad... then leave. No excuses anymore.
