Investigator:
Leak in main
line caused
explosion
By Mercy Lopez
Las Vegas Optic
The explosion that
destroyed John Singletary’s
Church Street home and
shook part of Old Town last
month was caused by a leak
in the city’s main natural
gas line, according to
reports from the state fire
marshal’s office and the
New Mexico Public Regulation Commission’s Pipeline
Safety Bureau.
The explosion and subsequent fire were “accidental
in nature and resulted when
the main gas line began
leaking outside the residence,” a fire marshal’s
office report states. “The gas
was contained within the
ground by a layer of snow
and ice and migrated into
the residence through some
opening in the wall or foundation.”
The Pipeline Safety
Bureau states that a “2 inch
PVC gas distribution main
pipeline failed, causing a
release of gas. Due to the
See Heroes, Page A8
release, a fire and explosion
occurred.”
The reports’ findings suggest that the city might be
on the hook for covering the
damages caused by the
explosion. And they appear
to raise questions about the
safety of the natural gas
infrastructure supplying Las
Vegas.
“They should be checking into the gas lines all
over the city, not just here,”
said Pete Mares, the son-inlaw of the man who lost his
home. “My father-in-law’s
main concern is that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
The city, meanwhile, may
be in trouble with the PRC
for its actions leading up to
and following the explosion.

The daughter of the
45-year-old woman
whose remains were discovered in Mora County
last month had reached
out to authorities, reporting in late January that
she hadn’t heard from
her mother since before
Christmas.
State police aren’t saying much publicly about
the death of Maxine
Patsy Trujillo whose
remains were found scattered between two properties in mid-February.
But a state police search
warrant affidavit filed in
4th Judicial District
Court in Las Vegas last
month sheds light on the
case.
Among the details it
discloses is that 53-yearold Dennis Escovedo,
Trujillo’s boyfriend, told
her daughter that two
people showed up at his
Mora County home to
beat him up, and he
fled. He reportedly told
the daughter that was
the last time he saw Trujillo.

company that conducted
a gas leak survey four
months before the explosion. The letter also
alleges that city officials
failed to notify the PRC
and National Response
Center of the explosion
at the earliest possible
convenience as required
by federal and state regulations.
The fire marshal and
Pipeline Safety Bureau
reports were released to
the Optic in response to
a public records request.

Singletary was inside
his house at 1925 Church
Street when the kitchen
area of his home exploded shortly after 4 a.m. on
Feb. 9. Fire spread
through the adobe
house, but the 73-yearold was able to escape
into the frigid morning
with his dog, Spencer.
Singletary wasn’t
injured, but his dog suffered a burn.
The house, where Singletary had lived for
more than four decades,
was a total loss. A firefighter called to battle
the blaze suffered a
minor injury.
Unlike most New
Mexico residents who
receive their natural gas
from New Mexico Gas
Company, Las Vegas residents get their natural
gas from the city.
The city has long
maintained that its natural gas customers are
responsible for the gas
lines between the meter
and their dwellings,
while the city is responsible for the lines that
lead up to the meter.
•••
Mercy Lopez/Optic photo
City firefighters walk near John Singletary’s smoldering home on Feb. 9. One
firefighter suffered a minor injury while fighting the early morning blaze. Singletary
was able to flee the house unharmed.
In a written statement
to the Optic, City Manager Timothy Dodge
said the city has not
received any claim for
damages as a result of
the fire.
He said Mother
Nature and acts of God
are potential causes of
leaks over which nobody
has control.
During the week of
the explosion, he said,
temperatures fell to 30
degrees below zero,
colder than it has been
in half a century.
“The final effect of
temperatures that cold
on gas equipment
depends on many factors,” he said, adding
that some of these factors cannot be controlled
by anybody.
“A final investigation
should tell us whether
there was a leak and if
so the location of the
leak and the cause of the
leak,” Dodge states.
“Like any investiga-
tion, all the facts will be
gathered and organized
before any finding is
made,” he wrote. “At
this time, the research
and analysis by the Public Regulatory Commission has not found that
the City or anybody else
did anything wrong.
Therefore it is premature
to come to any final
decision about the cause
of the accident.”
•••
A pipeline incident
report prepared by the
Pipeline Safety Bureau,
however, contains the
following information:
• On Feb. 9, as the residence was still smoldering, two sections of the
main gas line on Church
Street were pressure
tested. The section of the
pipe from Valencia Street
to just south of 1925
Church Street passed the
test. The other section
from just south of 1925
Church Street to Santa
Fe Street failed.
• On Feb. 10, the city
exposed the gas main
and found that indeed a
two inch PVC main line
had failed, though it
didn’t appear the line
had been leaking for a
prolonged period.
• The main service tap
for the service line that
served 1925 Church St.
was exposed and there
was no evidence of a gas
leak in that area.”
•••
Dodge said gas line
safety is a priority for
the city, state and federal
government.
“The City’s history of
safety extends for many
years,” he wrote. “Further, there are very strict
rules and regulations
which govern the infrastructure and operation
of any line which transports gas. Las Vegas follows those laws and
policies and our 110
miles of lines are heavily
regulated and monitored
on a regular basis.”
He has said the last
time the area was surveyed for leaks was on
Oct. 12, 2010. “No, leaks
were detected on Church
Street,” he has previously said.
“The City through its
continuous safety efforts
was fortunate to have an
analysis of the line completed shortly before the
incident,” Dodge wrote.
“That careful analysis
concluded that there
were no leaks in the city
gas line.”
But the Pipeline Safety Bureau, in the Feb. 28
letter to the mayor,
states that the records
indicating the qualifications of the contractor
who performed the tests
were not found. The
bureau also found no
documents showing that
the contractor was subject to random drug testing, something that is
required.
According to the letter, all state and federal
pipeline safety regulations and procedures
must be followed by the
city since it owns the
pipeline. The city is
required to respond to
the notice of probable
violations by March 28.
Dodge said in a recent
telephone interview that
the city planned to submit a written response
on March 11.
Penalties for the violations range from
$25,000 per day per violation to no penalty.
•••
The days and weeks
following the fire have
been interesting for both
the city and Singletary.
The city replaced the
gas lines on Church
Street a few weeks ago.
Dodge said the City
plans to replace 4,000
feet of PVC gas lines this
year.
“A
t this
time,
the research
and analysis by
the Public Regulatory Commission has not
found that the
City or anybody else did
anything
wrong”

Singletary, a retired
U.S. Postal Service
employee, has been staying with Mares and his
daughter in a home not
far from his house.
Back at 1925 Church
St., all that remains of
Singletary’s four bedroom, one bath home are
buckled adobe walls and
charred reminders of the
more than 40 years he
lived there, including
blackened canned goods
and metal parts of his
reclining sofas.
Singletary’s wife,
Tina, died this past May.
Mares said the house
was kept exactly the
way his mother-in-law
left it.
Everything in the
house was destroyed.
Replacing the adobe
structure will cost about
$320,000, the family has
been told.
Singletary plans to
meet with an Albuquerque attorney on Saturday, the same day he
turns 74.

EDITORIAL
Thumbs
Our high country lowdown on the news
UNACCEPTABLE. It’s probably no
surprise to anyone who has repeatedly
been to the Las Vegas transfer station that
the city would be cited for deficiencies there.
More often than not it’s been a mess — unnecessarily so, even for a transfer station.
Among the problems found recently by Environment Department officials were an unsanitary
recycling area, loose litter on the property, failure
to have a certified operator on site, and a number
of records violations.
IMMEDIATE
IMPROVEMENTS.
About a week after the citations were
issued for the transfer station, city officials responded, and by the looks of things these
days, they put some real effort behind their
words. It’s looking much better.
It’s good to see the city taking the violations
seriously and acting decisively to correct them.
Please, stick with it.
DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR. It’s bad
enough to be drinking and driving, as
police say Patricia Tafoya of Holman was
doing last week. But to be doing it with two little
children in the vehicle — that’s much, much
worse.
The two children were released to the suspect’s father as Tafoya was being arrested and
booked into the San Miguel County jail. It’s her
third DWI charge. We hope it’s enough of a
wake-up call that she’ll make it her last.
CRACKING DOWN. People who ply
their wares door to door in Las Vegas
need to go through the proper channels to
demonstrate their legitimacy. Mayor Alfonso
Ortiz recently signed an executive order directing police and other city employees to enforce the
city’s law requiring that door-to-door salespeople be licensed, bonded and run through a background check. What’s more, people with criminal
convictions cannot be granted the city license,
according to the order.
We’re glad to see city officials cracking down
on peddlers trying to sell products or services to
local residents. If this type of activity is going to
be permitted, it needs to be tightly controlled.
WORKED AS IT SHOULD HAVE. A
fire broke out last week inside Conner
Hall at Highlands University, and was
contained to a single room thanks to the building’s sprinkler system. No one was injured in the
blaze, though 11 students had to be moved to
another dorm because of water damage.
It’s reassuring that the fire suppression system
worked as well as it did, thereby averting what
could have been a much more serious situation.

Making the right mistakes
I
used to believe mistakes get
you nowhere. That was before I
made all the right ones.
When I started
high school, in the
fall of 2009, I had
my eyes set on just
one class. Unfortunately, as a freshman at Robertson,
I became prisoner
to the Freshman
Academy, and
OSHÁ
journalism, the
BAILEY
class I wanted
most, wasn’t one
of my elective choices.
But I didn’t know that. I was
the “new kid.” In fact, because I
attended Family Partnership for
elementary and Rio Gallinas for
middle school, Robertson was the
first non-alternative school I had
ever attended, and there were only
about three people I actually knew.
The first day of school finally
came and I, by some amazing luck,
found myself among all the scary
upperclassmen in the one class I
really looked forward to attending.
This was my first mistake. Freshmen are not supposed to take journalism.
I like to write, and that above
all else provided me with motivation. I didn’t know if I was any
good or what writing for a paper
even entailed. From the time I
wrote my first short piece in class,
however, I felt confidence in every
word that flowed from my pen. I
never would have thought walking into class that day that I might
be editor of the very same paper
just one year later.
I didn’t know how high school
worked, so here I made my second
mistake. Sophomores are not editors. No matter my age, I continued working hard to gain respect,
oblivious to the social rankings of
high school.
Freshmen, as well as sophomores (thanks to the Academy),
are often looked down upon by
upperclassmen because they are
“annoying” or “immature.” I hope
I have managed to make mincemeat of that stereotype.
I got to where I am because of
my disregard to the unspoken
rules of high school, and I encourage others to break this invisible
mold. From my abrupt introduction to journalism, it began to
grow on me. I enjoy writing and
reporting, inspiring and entertaining.
I suppose I have enjoyed the
simpler forms of entertainment
from an early age. I was raised on
radio and books — we didn’t have
a television — and bask in the ability to create my own image of
things in my mind.
I was born in Austin, Texas, and
grew up in a tiny, three-room
adobe home in Gallinas Canyon. I
lived there for about six years with
my parents and three siblings.
When I was 7, we moved into Las
Vegas.
Since then I have slowly been
introduced to technology, school
and the stressful life of a teen. Not
too long ago, Mr. David Hill, my
English and previous journalism
teacher, suggested I apply for an
internship at the Optic.
The idea was intriguing from
the start and it grew almost hauntingly. For journalism, along with
roller coasters, books, and socializing with people, is one of my very
favorite things!
Journalism never occurred to
me as a career I would like to follow, and even now, at 15, I am still
exploring the millions of possibilities presented by different careers.
The idea of becoming an Optic
intern got the better of me, however, and yet again I was met with a
pleasant surprise.
I have now broken all the rules:
Freshman journalism student,
sophomore editor, and now 15year-old intern. I may be lucky, but
I worked hard to get here.
I am now exceedingly happy to
say, I get to write about and for
you! I have been welcomed openly to the Optic and hope you enjoy
everything I have to offer. My goal
here is not only to be helpful to
the hard-working employees of
the Optic but to eventually give
readers a new perspective. I aspire
to represent the voice of the youth
in Las Vegas and to help you
understand what goes on in the
unfathomable minds of your children.
In Las Vegas, we don’t need to
play Second Life, indulging ourselves in technology and the everimportant media, to get away from
reality. We already live in an alternate universe. With our intriguing
history, clashing cultures and truly
unique community, we really are
in the Land of Enchantment.
There is no place I would rather
be than among the staff of a newspaper that covers the ups and
downs of this wonderful little
town.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Seeking a home,
forgiveness
I am a psychiatrist and a traditional Catholic priest. I am also
manic depressive, bipolar Type I. I
have been taking lithium carbonate
for many years.
I first worked at Las Vegas Medical Center in 1990 as a resident,
most recently as a psychiatrist from
May 2000 to May 2005. I did not
tell anyone of my diagnosis
because of discrimination I have
experienced in the past. Apparently my lithium stopped working
during my most recent time at Las
Vegas.
After I left the hospital I became
psychotic and broke some windows, for which I was arrested and
sent to jail for about two months.
During this time my neighbors
broke into my house and stole a
number of things, including
clothes, a bicycle and an oversized
Yamaha guitar, which is now in a
local pawn shop because there are
no identifying marks to indicate it
is mine.
After my release I was put back
on lithium and became psychotic
again. Apparently a neighbor I vis-
ited felt threatened and made up a
story about me threatening someone else with a gun, reported it to
the police, and I was arrested and
put in jail for about four months.
During this time my neighbors
broke into my house and stole
almost everything from my chapel,
including the tabernacle and chalice. When I was released I moved
out of my house and put it up for
sale and rent.
In Albuquerque I was finally
placed on the correct medicine and
have been asymptomatic since. I
feel Las Vegas to be a second home
to me, and have decided to move
back. If I have offended anyone, I
ask forgiveness.

Las Vegas
Negotiate,
don’t litigate
For more than 50 years our city
leaders pursued a policy of legal
action to acquire water from the
Gallinas River that had no foundation in New Mexico law. Hundreds
of thousands, perhaps millions of
tax dollars, were expended litigating the “Pueblo Water Rights Doc-
trine” starting in the 1950s. When
the New Mexico Supreme Court
ruled against the doctrine, a return
to “the rule of law” in water rights
should have been established.
Instead, the court found the city
had a “reliance interest claim” due
to the prolonged court battle.
Our local acequias and the city
now find ourselves in another legal
battle that can, and should, be settled in negotiations between the
parties. The city, however, seems to
have determined that the legal
track was in their best interest.
Suddenly, the city attorney and
several “hired guns” from Santa Fe
are throwing a barrage of legal
attacks in the acequias local organizations made up of local tax paying citizens.
These organizations are not
financially equipped to fight the
prolonged legal battle against the
city; however, you can bet the farm
that we will carry on as long as
possible. When will this madness
end?
Stop the litigation. Return to
negotiations. Quit spending our tax
money against our own citizens.

NUESTRA HISTORIA
Las Vegas after Kearny
A
fter the 1846 occupation
and annexation, New
Mexico was brought
under the civil
law of the United
States (Kearny
Code), and government officials
for New Mexico
were immediately appointed by
Gen. Kearny.
Thereafter, New
JESUS
Mexico was govLOPEZ
erned by civil
and military officials who received their appointments from Washington.
Thus began New Mexico’s
territorial period, which lasted
66 years, until our old and venerable Nuevo Mexico, long a
Spanish and Mexican province,
was admitted to the Union as
the 47th state in 1912.
After Kearny marched into
our town in 1846, Las Vegas was
under military occupation and
was designated as Post Las
Vegas, serving as the U. S. military post for northeastern New
Mexico until 1851, when Fort
Union was established to protect
trade caravans along the Santa
Fe Trail.
The U.S. occupation and
annexation of New Mexico, first
announced by Kearny in Las
Vegas, was obviously momentous. Our laws and governance
changed overnight, and Americanos were immediately
appointed to all positions of
authority.
But life continued otherwise
uninterrupted in Las Vegas, and
sweeping change would not
occur here for another three
decades, when the railroad
arrived in 1879, and East Las
Vegas was established. Until
then, Las Vegas remained west
of the Gallinas River. (The area
east of the river was used only
for farming and grazing livestock, with scant habitation).
Annexation did, however,
immediately increase trade
along the booming Santa Fe
Trail, from a trickle to a flood,
and during the 33 years between
Kearny and the arrival of the
railroad, Las Vegas became one
of the principal locations along
the famous Trail. During this
period, three remarkable developments would transform Las
Vegas and chart our future for
several generations.
First was the initial influx of
Americanos, who would transform the old town area of Las
Vegas from a locale of adobe
laden houses and portals, into a
business mecca with the first of
its kind territorial-style appearance, which soon spread to other
parts of New Mexico.
Second, Miguel Romero and
his five sons would begin transporting goods as freighters
along the Santa Fe Trail, and
would quickly dominate all
areas of business in Las Vegas,
including mercantile, ranching,
timber and other enterprises.
They would amass incredible
wealth and power, and establish
a family dynasty which ruled
Las Vegas and San Miguel
County for more than half a
century, often impacting all of
New Mexico.
And third, during this postKearny/pre-railroad period,
Charles Ilfeld and other pioneer
Jewish merchants would make
their way here, and Las Vegas
would become the foremost Jewish enclave in the Southwest.
Here they would erect their first
synagogue, and here the Jewish
merchants would get their start
with and among the Hispanic
people.
These transformative developments will be the subject of
our next several columns.
•••
In last week’s column I related that Kearny’s march into Las
Vegas was tranquil and continued without incident through
his entry into Santa Fe. The
American occupation was by no
means peaceful, however, and
within months there was formidable resistance in many areas,
resulting in great loss of life and
devastation.
One of the first rebellions was
mounted in Taos on Jan. 19,
1847, when Native Americans
and Hispanos joined forces and
attacked the headquarters of
Gov. Charles Bent, who had
been appointed governor of
New Mexico by Kearny. Bent
and four others were killed in
the revolt. On Feb. 4, 1847, after
a day of fierce fighting, the U.S.
army recaptured Taos. Some 150
Native Americans lost their lives
in the battle for Taos, while
seven American soldiers died
and 45 were wounded, many of
them fatally.
In the beautiful Mora valley,
several hundred Hispanos
mounted a brave insurgency on
Jan. 24. 1847. A great battle
ensued and 30 resistance fighters
were killed. The Americans also
suffered casualties, including the
army captain who led the attack
on Mora. Mora was decimated
by cannon fire, and the people
temporarily scattered into the
mountains.
As late as June 1847, fearing a
new revolt, the U.S. army invaded Las Vegas, captured the town,
sent some 50 prisoners to Santa
Fe, and charged our mayor with
complicity, burning his sawmill
to the ground. Juan de Dios was
later exonerated, but throughout
this period following Kearny’s
occupation, scores of New Mexicans were accused of treason
against the United States and
executed, either by hanging or
firing squad.
Many other battles, acts of
resistance and loss of life
occurred throughout New Mexico in the year following
Kearny’s occupation. Suffice it to
say that other than his initial
march into Las Vegas and Santa
Fe, Kearny’s occupation of New
Mexico was not peaceful.

and transform the old town

ORGULLO DEL NORTE
The great women of el norte
“We cannot seek achievement for
ourselves and forget about progress
and prosperity for our community
....Our ambitions must be broad
enough to include the aspirations
and needs of others, for their sakes
and for our own.”
— Cesar Chavez
W
omen have always
played a very large
role in history but
have received little or no recognition. It will be
a crime if we do
not honor our
own “Norteñas.”
One of our
own has risen to
become an international icon.
Dolores Huerta
was born on
April 10 in DawROCK
son, N.M. (now a
ULIBARRI
ghost town of
Colfax County).
Her father, Juan Fernandez, was
a union organizer in Dawson
and later became secretary-treasurer of the Congress of Industrial Organizations local at the Terrero Camp of the American Metals Company in Las Vegas.
When her parents divorced, she
moved to Stockton, Calif. She
became a teacher in a migrant
community.
Dolores would regularly visit
the homes of her many students.
These children of migrant workers were living in extreme
poverty, two to three families in
one-room shacks with no running water or electricity, dirt
floors and no toilets.
She could not, in good conscience, return to the classroom
knowing the squalid conditions
these children were going home
to every evening. With a desire
to create change, Dolores found
an organization to join, the Community Service Organization, a
Mexican American self-help
group.
It was at the CSO that
Dolores met Cesar Chavez.
Some of the lowest groups of
people in American society were
migrant workers. They had
absolutely no rights. No constitutional rights, no civil rights,
and certainly no human rights.
They were easily exploited
because of their poverty and
immigrant status.
Dolores Huerta saw them for
what they were, fellow human
beings.
Dolores eventually co-founded (along with Cesar Chavez)
the United Farm Workers
Union. She and Cesar empowered the powerless. She not only
organized the workers but she
got the masses to support the
workers through a boycott (the
great grape boycott). Imagine
what kind of gains the 1199 can
make with the masses of this
community supporting them, si
se puede!
Dolores has not forgotten her
roots. The activism and organizing Dolores has done nationwide, including New Mexico,
benefits us tremendously.
Dolores returns to “El Norte”
yearly, training labor leaders
and their members. As a matter
of fact, I was trained in grassroots organizing by Dolores
Huerta herself.
Another great woman of “El
Norte” is known by every community member of Las Vegas as
“Mama Lucy,” born Lucy Lopez
on April 15, 1914. She is credited
with bringing down the “tortilla
curtain” between East and West
Las Vegas. She accomplished
this long overdue feat with her
authentic kindness and firstclass cooking.
Even after the consolidation
of East and West Las Vegas, the
town remained divided. The
patrones from the Westside controlled jobs at West Schools, the
State Hospital, and the D.A.’s
office. The East side power players controlled all jobs at Highlands University, East Las Vegas
Schools, and the city council.
Mama Lucy’s kindness came
in the form of feeding anyone
who didn’t have any means of
paying. She wielded immense
political influence without ever
holding office. She was inducted
into the New Mexico Democratic Party Hall of Fame in 1990.
Governors Dave Cargo and
Bruce King held her in very
high regard.
Her good nature coupled
with her good food enticed
those from the east side of town
to venture across the Gallinas
River. Her restaurant soon
became the “demilitarized zone”
for the political bosses from East
and West. Although they may
have sat on opposite ends of the
restaurant, they were dining in
the same room. Mama Lucy was
the ambassador, diplomat, and
mediator, seemingly serving and
trusted by both sides.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Response
to co-op letter
We read Bridget Maloney’s letter to the editor
(published March 4), “A
report on co-op meeting”
with disappointment and
disbelief. Maloney’s
“report” grossly distorts
recent events and damages the good reputations
of our employees and
board members.
To set the record
straight, no board member faces criminal
charges. Maloney’s insinuations to the contrary
are false and irresponsible. She is not a news
reporter. Her facts are
not checked. The baseless
suggestion that criminal
charges await Board
President Daniel Romero
is pure fiction, not the
work of a journalist
accountable for what she
writes.
Maloney (allegedly)
attended only part of the
meeting she criticized.
Had she stayed, or
checked her facts, she
would know:
• The audit committee
Maloney claims we were
reluctant to appoint was
actually appointed that
very evening.
• The co-op has never
paid Daniel Romero to
store materials on his
property. Maloney, however, misrepresented this
generosity as Daniel
Romero having “cooked
up a scheme.” The
“scheme” is unfounded.
• Allowing members
five minutes to speak on
any topic at board meetings keeps meetings orderly and efficient. It is common practice at public
meetings and does not
“repress the concerns of
the members.” Members
may also write to the
board with concerns and
to request information.
We urge our members
to examine the facts, not
misinformation.

Education is a
security issue
As a retired general
and former head of the
New Mexico National
Guard, I view proposed
cuts to early care and education programs as more
than just a local problem
for parents of young children. These cuts represent a serious threat to
our national security.
Consider this: In New
Mexico, one in three of
our high school students
fails to graduate on time.
Among those who do
graduate, more than one
in four seeking to join in
the Army cannot enlist
because of low scores on
the military’s basic
entrance exam in math, literacy and problem solving. ...
A key solution to
improve academic performance, especially
among at-risk children, is
high-quality early learning. ... The success of
these high-quality inter-
She was often invited to dinner at the homes of Tom Donnelly, Noble Irish, and H.M.
Mortimer. At the same time she
was like a sister to the late “Tiny
Martinez.” The group of political heavyweights of West Las
Vegas became known as “The
Mama Lucys.”
I never had the pleasure of
tasting Mama Lucy’s dishes, I
know of her only through the
stories told to me by my father
and more recently by her son,
and fellow historian, Jesus
Lopez. My personal theory is
that Mama Lucy’s heart was
always on the West side. When
the “tortilla curtain” came
down, it was a victory economically for West Las Vegas. East
Las Vegas benefitted by allowing Hispano cultures and customs to flow across the Gallinas.
Hispanics were able to get jobs
other than custodial positions at
Highlands University.
“Mama Lucy” passed in her
sleep on a Tuesday, May 31, at
the age of 80. Gov. Cargo said,
“With her, goes a part of history.”

YOUR SUBMISSIONS
ventions is why more
than 200 retired generals
and admirals including
myself are urging elected
leaders to maintain support for early care and
education.
Within the next few
weeks, state Sen. Pete
Campos and his colleagues in the state legislature will give final consideration to possible cuts
in child care assistance
and the state’s pre-K program.
Meanwhile in Washington, U.S. Sens. Jeff
Bingaman and Tom Udall
will take up proposals
that sharply reduce federal programs like Head
Start. Our elected leaders
need to be mindful of the
long-term value of these
programs. Without highquality early care and
education programs, our
dropout crisis could eventually become a national
security crisis.

Letters to the editor are valued and encouraged. Please consider the following points when submitting a letter for publication:
• We need specific information about you. We need to
know your real name and your city of residence, for publication along with your letter. Plus, we need a daytime
phone number where we can reach you, for verification
purposes only. Anonymous letters, and those we cannot
verify, will not run.
• Timely, concise letters are preferred. Because of
space limitations, lengthy letters are difficult to place and,
as a result, may not run. We recommend letters of less
than 250 words, which are more likely to be published
quicker than longer letters. Those that exceed 500 words
may have to be edited down or discarded.
• Letters expressing a viewpoint are best. Your opinion, concisely written, about an issue covered in the Optic
is our top priority, and we will run it as soon as practical.
• Stick to the issues. The letters section is intended as a
community forum. Factually questionable information,
personal smears and libelous charges don’t contribute to
the conversation and won’t likely run.
• Mil Gracias letters should be as short as possible.
Long thank-you lists make for long, hard-to-read letters,
and will likely delay its publication by days or even weeks.
• And finally, it’s the editor’s call. We welcome dissenting opinions, and we strive to run all letters submitted, but
in the end it’s the Optic’s decision as to which letters will
run.

Within two days of the
discovery of the remains,
investigators searched
Esovedo’s home on Mora
County Road A011, located about two miles south
of NM 518.
Among the evidence
they took from the home
were a rag from under a
sink, a scrub brush, a
green scrub pad, bathroom sink faucets, and a
hammer.
The search warrant
affidavit was prepared
by state police Agent
Clay Goret.
The affidavit states
that Paloma Trujillo, 17,
asked authorities to
check on her mother on
Jan. 29 because she hadn’t spoken to her since
before Dec. 25.
Paloma Trujillo told
authorities she had tried
to reach her mother by
contacting Escovedo on
or about Jan. 29, but was
unsuccessful.
“Mr. Escovedo told
Paloma that he had last
seen Patsy at the above
described residence,” the
affidavit states. “Mr.
Escovedo said he left the
residence when two
unnamed subjects had
come to the residence to
beat him up. Mr.

Police documented
that Manzanares had
“two purple and swollen

from underneath his

report filed by officer

In an unrelated incident, Las Vegas police
were dispatched to a
house on the 200 block
of Valencia at 3:14 a.m.
Sunday in reference to
shots fired.
Orlando Varela, 29,
told police that a man by
the name of “Chris” had
just fired a gun at him
and drove away in a
newer model Dodge
truck. The report doesn’t
list a last name for Chris.
Officers found no bullet holes on Varela’s
house nor any spent
shell casings at the residence. An officer did
find a single 203 Ruger
round that had not been
fired.
Varela told police he
had friends over to his
house after a wedding

A state police officer
went to the home on Jan.
29 to check on Trujillo,
but he was unable to
contact either Trujillo or
Escovedo.
Then at 11:23 p.m. on
Feb. 14, a woman notified state police that her
dog had found a human
skull. The woman lives
near Escovedo’s residence.
State police were dispatched to the scene and
confirmed that it was
indeed a human skull.
The following day, officers searched the rest of
the woman’s property
but were unable to find
additional human
remains.
Officers then got permission to search an
adjacent property. While
walking along a water
way in an open field,
police discovered additional human remains
that appeared to be the
source of the skull.
State police
announced last week
that the state Office of
the Medical Investigator
identified the remains as
belonging to Trujillo.
Agents with the state
police investigations
bureau and OMI have
been trying to determine
the manner and cause of
death.

was drinking. He said a
man became very angry
and wanted to fight him.
Varela reportedly told
the man that he didn’t
want to fight and asked
him to leave. He said the
next thing he knew the
man had a .357 with a
scope. Varela told police
the man pointed the
weapon at him and fired
about three or four times.
Varela said he began
fighting the man for the
gun, and that an
unknown person was
able to get the gun away
from him.
Jennifer Montoya, 28,
told police that Chris,
who appeared angry
that night, invited her to
walk with him to his
truck to get another bottle of alcohol.
She told police that
Chris then made unwelcome sexual advances,
and she punched him in
the face.
She said she later witnessed Chris yelling at
Varela to hit him. Montoya said Chris went
back to his truck and
returned with a gun.
“Montoya told me
that Chris pointed the
gun at Mr. Varela and
pulled the trigger, but it
just went ‘click’ and
nothing happened,”
states the report filed by
officer David Cordova.
Montoya managed to
get the gun away from
Chris and threw it under
the front passenger seat
of Chris’ truck. Chris
then left the residence,
the report states.
House agrees to delay
school year change
The Associated Press
SANTA FE — Lawmakers may give public
schools more time to
implement a requirement
for a 180-day school year.
A 2009 law will
require a school year of
at least 180 full instructional days for districts
with a regular school
year calendar. It's to take
effect in the upcoming
2011-2012 school year.
The House approved a
bill Wednesday to delay
the requirement to the
2012-13 school year. The
bill goes to the Senate.
Students in grades 712 must now attend
school 1,080 hours.

Beginning at 11 a.m.
Tuesday, a steady stream
of police, firefighters
and support personnel
came through the recreation center, grabbing
hamburgers, hot dogs
and cake.
But for many of them,
the food was less important than the public display of appreciation for
the work they do.
Houdek and her family gathered more than
500 signatures on thank

“You risk your lives

The messages were

A ferocious second-half rally
wasn’t enough to rescue the
Mora Rangers on Wednesday,
and as a result, the seventhseeded Tucumcari Rattlers made
it to the Class 2A boys’ Final
Four instead.
Tucumcari dictated the tempo
and helped clog the usually
high-octane Mora offense. The
Rattlers scored the game’s first
eight points and led 12-1 after
the first eight minutes.
It was extremely difficult to
beat coach Hank Laumbach’s
Rangers this year, and only two
other teams had cracked the
code — Class 3A contender
Robertson and a heady Springer
outfit.
Tucumcari did so with a combination of ball control, smart
shooting and effective rebounding. The Rangers’ own shooting
woes, coupled with the Rattlers’
tendency to grab most
rebounds, prevented Mora from

Before Tuesday night’s quarterfinal
matchup with West Las Vegas, Cindy Roybal said she couldn’t see anyone beating
her Santa Fe Indian School Lady Braves
except themselves.
Roybal’s prediction held true against the
Lady Dons, as the No. 1 seed SFIS girls
rolled their former district rivals 71-45 in
the Class 3A girls’ state tournament at The
Pit in Albuquerque.
SFIS was to play fifth-seeded Hope
Christian, and No. 6 Shiprock was to meet
No. 2 Portales in a pair of Thursday morning semifinals decided after this issue went
to press. The championship game is 4 p.m.
Friday at The Pit.
West Las Vegas had shot well enough in
recent games, surging to the District 2-3A
title and eliminating Hot Springs in the
opening round. But field-goal accuracy was
a problem Tuesday, and to make matters
worse, the Lady Braves were in no mood to
be charitable, hustling after every missed
shot by either side.
SFIS outrebounded WLV 19-8 in the first
period alone as the Lady Braves got out to
a 15-5 lead on the scoreboard.
Jenine Coriz, Santa Fe Indian’s dangerous point guard, was her usual playmaking
self. She finished with 16 points and a
handful of assists.
Bridget Lee had eight of her points in
the first quarter and tallied 12 for the
evening to go with 11 rebounds.

Prior to Wednesday, Robertson hadn’t
lost a boys’ basketball game since Socorro
stole a 49-48 nailbiter way back on Jan. 8
at Mike Marr Gym.
The Warriors made sure the sequel — a
Wednesday evening quarterfinal in the
Class 3A boys’ state tournament — was
every bit as painful for the boys in red
and white, who finished 21-7.
It was a bit of deja vu. Robertson controlled most of the game only to relinquish that control late, battle to regain the
lead but ultimately taste defeat, 54-51.
A Justin Bustos three-pointer capped
the Cardinals’ final run, an 8-0 spurt that
reclaimed the lead at 51-50 with less than
a minute to go.
Zach Esquivel snared an offensive
rebound on the other end and scored on
an improbable toss made while he was
tumbling to the floor of the Santa Ana Star
Center. That circus shot, made with 15
seconds left, put Socorro up 52-51.
RHS couldn’t answer, and Jared Marquez sank two free throws with 6 seconds
remaining. Josh Brito missed a late three.
Socorro joins the consensus top three
teams of the Class 3A boys’ ranks in the
Final Four. The Warriors will play No. 1

points.
West took a 3-1 lead on a Michelle Tapia putback,
but the Lady Braves reeled off a 22-2 run that extended
into the second quarter and put them ahead 23-5.
The Lady Dons’ drought lasted nearly eight minutes
before Martinez brought it to an end with a three-pointer. Maintaining its intensity, Santa Fe Indian outscored
West 14-6 to end the half, with Maya Roybal scoring
four of the Lady Dons’ points.
At the break, SFIS led 39-15.
West kept playing hard, but the Lady Braves went
stride for stride. Megan Martinez connected from long
range and Vanessa Lucero hit a perimeter shot as part
of an 8-0 spurt for WLV that cut the deficit to 45-24.
But SFIS finished the third period strong and took a 5026 cushion to the fourth quarter.
The spread peaked at 63-33 after a basket by Shaina
RoanHorse. Then Miranda Martinez nailed a three and
Briana Montaño — also playing in her last game as a
Lady Don — converted an old-fashioned three-point
play.

leads of 9-1, 12-3 and 14-5. It was 19-10 at the end of
the first quarter.
Socorro made inroads in the second period, however, as the Cardinal shooting cooled. Marquez’s oldschool three-point play and a Sam Hale putback
made it 24-23. After trailing 30-27 at halftime, the
Warriors took their first lead, 33-32, midway through
the third period. Ibrahim Maiga gave Socorro its
largest lead, 50-43, with 4:09 left in the fourth.
Bustos and Brito finished with 12 points each.
Coach David Bustos will have most of his lineup
back in 2011-12 but will lose David Coca, John Adam

setting up its press.
That in turn complicated Mora’s attempts to get
back into the game.
Jantzen Darnell led Tucumcari throughout the
afternoon contest, and his shooting was particularly
sharp early on.
After Mora’s Tyler Martinez scored on a putback
— only the fourth field goal by the Rangers —
Tucumcari’s Dalton Wood swished two free throws
to close the first half with the Rattlers leading 24-10.
Wood did more damage in the third period, scoring six points as Tucumcari took a 39-20 lead.
Mora finally began to look like its usual self in the
fourth period. Martinez drilled a three-pointer — the
Rangers’ first — to make it 39-27.
There was more where that came from. Martinez
(15 points total) hit a couple more times from distance, and the margin shrunk to 45-37. Andrew Lesse
and Tim Romero both scored to get Mora within five
points at one juncture. But Tucumcari hit its last four
foul shots and held on to keep the upset intact.

Wagon Mound’s Trojans were to play the toprated team in Class B, Quemado, in one of two semifinals Thursday afternoon at Bernalillo High. That

It’s been quite a successful week for the Trojans,

picking up the No. 4 seed in the state tourney.
Wagon Mound then cruised to a 75-57 rout of fifthseeded Elida to reach the B boys’ Final Four.

Senior first baseman
Peter Campos was the
start and the finish of a
critical double play Tuesday afternoon as Robertson baseball made a successful home debut in
beating Santa Fe Indian
15-13 at Rodriguez Park.
Campos’ play cut
short a Braves rally in the
top of the sixth inning.
SFIS had scored twice to
get within 12-11 and had
two runners on board
when Campos fielded a
ground ball, whipped it
to short and got it back in
time to beat the batter.
Robertson added three
insurance runs — one off
a double by Ryan Tafoya,
one off a triple by Estevan Montoya, and one
when Montoya scored
after a failed pickoff — in
the bottom of the sixth.
Luke Aragon, who
went the distance on the
mound for Robertson,
earned the pitching win.
He gave up a run in the
top of the seventh but
allowed no more damage
and closed the game with
an unassisted groundout.
Santa Fe Indian
opened with six runs on
five hits and two errors
in the first inning, but the
Cardinals didn’t get rattled. Girard Maestas
broke the ice for RHS in
the bottom half, scoring
on a wild pitch after hitting to get on.
The Cards showed
speed on the basepaths
with five runs in the third
and took an 8-6 lead.
Nick Archuleta had a
two-RBI triple in the fifth.

West Las Vegas (3-1)
lost its first game Monday against Hope Christian, 11-3.
A first inning in which
the Huskies scored seven
made the difference.
Alex Branch took the
pitching defeat but led

for 3 with a run. Stephen
Montaño, Pancho Caro

lance. Just before he lost
contact with these doctors he stopped the show
because he wanted to
know if he was brain
damaged enough to
become a judge! His
father was a tad bit upset
with his remark but he
was certainly pleased that
Bill never lost his sense of
humor.
Bill was court appointed to defend a cattle thief
once and he knew he
couldn’t possibly win his
case, particularly when
several ranchers were
seated in his jury. He also
knew he’d catch it from
this branch of the family
when he told us what his
case was. So, in typical
“Bill” fashion he told the
court that the dead cow
had committed suicide in
the thief’s garage. If he
couldn’t win, he might as
well lose with a laugh.
I was fortunate enough
to watch him at work
once. A mother had hired
him to defend her teen
daughter who had a very
fast speeding ticket. He
discovered several flaws
in the actual ticket and
the cop couldn’t provide
the proper answers to his
questions. So, the girl got
off, scot-free as they say.
However, the story
doesn’t end there. Bill
demanded the girl and
her mother sit down with
him, right there in the
court room, at the back,
and he lit into this kid
with all he had. She had
broken the law, she obviously knew the dangers
of speeding down any
street at any time and she
had to pay all of the court
costs of this hearing. She
had to earn every cent of
this bill herself and her
parents were not to contribute a penny.
That meant she had to
work at a real job after
school and weekends for
quite awhile. And, if she
ever was arrested again
on any sort of driving
charge, Bill would not
defend her. The courts
always worked with Bill
on cases like this and
more than one parent
would later thank him for
“the lecture” he dished
out as part of his commitment as a lawyer.
I suspect Bill would
have an opinion about
“Social Promotion,” probably the same as mine.
Because we were both
home schooled, we had
no choice. We had to read
to the level taught that
year. Our parents were
right there, demanding
this, as was our teachers,
and the Calvert correspondence school we
both graduate from.
Our family motto was:
“You must read, read
well to succeed.” I will
never disagree with that
idea.

DEAR ABBY
DEAR ABBY: My 3-year-old
son is terminally ill. My sisterin-law, "Anita," has a son who is
a year old.
Anita
always
wants to
compete
for attention
between
the two
boys. She
makes
nasty comABIGAIL
ments to
family
members, VAN BUREN
suggesting
that her son is ignored while
mine gets all the attention. No
one says anything to her because
they're afraid of her "blowups."
I don't know how much longer
I can live with this. It is hard
enough watching my son slip
away a little more each day, but
having to deal with this has
pushed me over the edge. How
can I handle a crazy in-law in
this situation? -- FALLING
APART IN ILLINOIS
ATTENTION PAID TO DYING BOY EMBITTERS HIS JEALOUS AUNT
DEAR FALLING APART:
Please accept my sympathy for
the heartache you are experiencing. It's a shame that no
one in the family is willing to
point out to your volatile sister-in-law that the "annoyance" she's feeling is selfish
and insensitive.
However, because no one is,
it might be better that Anita be
excluded from family gatherings in which she might feel
her son is getting short shrift.
And you should ask the person
who is repeating her complaints to you to please stop
sharing them. That should
solve your problem.

DEAR ABBY: I am a married
man, but not happily. I have
been taking the kids on play
dates with a neighbor woman
who has been kind enough to
meet with the children and doesn't seem to care too much that
I'm a guy. As you can imagine,
most women will not bother to
befriend a man they know is
married.
She has two kids who are
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
close in age to mine. She is 19
years younger than I am and
lives with her boyfriend.
I have fallen in love with her.
I know I can't tell her, and I
doubt she feels the same toward
me. When we part, we do hug
each other. It makes me feel fantastic, something I haven't experienced for a long time.
Should I continue getting
together with her or should I
avoid her? I feel both happy and
sad when I see her because I
realize she is basically out of
reach. -- PERPLEXED IN WISCONSIN
DEAR PERPLEXED: You
feel lonely and isolated. It is
understandable that you would
be drawn to whatever warmth
you can get, but this young
woman is not the answer to
your problem. Call a halt to
this relationship so that you
can work on your real problem
-- which is your unhappy marriage. Once you sort that out,
everything else will fall into
place. But continuing to see
this woman as things are will
only perpetuate your pain.

DEAR CAN'T: Yes. You've

court. Stop calling and let her
make the next move. If she
doesn't, she was probably
making polite conversation
when she suggested you get
together.

DEAR ABBY: A few months
ago I ran into an old friend at the
spa. She told me to call her and
plan to get together with her. I
have called her, but she never
seems receptive to actually getting together. She called me once
and invited me over to sit by the
pool, but that's been the extent of
it.
We're both married with children and work part time. I feel
as though I'm bothering her
when I call since she never
makes an effort to return my
calls or accept my invitations.
However, when we run into each
other at events or the spa, she's
chatty and friendly.
Should I stop putting out the
effort? -- CAN'T FIGURE IT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,
March 11, 2011:
This year, walking in other people's shoes in order to understand

are single,

your best bet
would be
meeting someone through your
home, family or close associates.
If you are attached, the two of you
will enjoy your personal time at
home more than ever. Some couples will decide to remodel their
home. You might even buy a
home. GEMINI can be an anchor
that you cannot shake loose.

FEATURE STORY
By Jay Bobbin

If you don’t believe upward mobility is
still alive in the workplace, try convincing
Suzanne Malveaux.
In the same way her CNN colleague
Candy Crowley came off a reporter’s beat
after many years to assume an anchor
role (in Crowley’s case, with the Sunday
program “State of the Union”), Emmy winner Malveaux left the cable news network’s
political unit in January to relocate to its
Atlanta headquarters. There, she now pre-
sides over a two-hour section of the weekday “CNN Newsroom.”
“I think it’s going really well,” she says.
“It’s a new opportunity, a chance to flex a
different set of muscles but bring 10 years
of (covering) the White House to the desk.
The first two weeks, to have had a story
like Egypt erupting as it did ... it was just
incredible to bring the perspective of having covered the Obama administration,
the (second) Bush administration and the
Clinton administration, having taken trips to
the Middle East with them.
“I lived in Egypt as well,” Malveaux
adds, “so it was an opportunity to pick

up the phone and call longtime Egyptian
friends and find out how they were doing. Some were involved on the ground in
Tahrir Square as part of the protests, and
others had fled and were trying to figure
out how to deal with it day to day with their
families and kids. It was incredible to navigate that story.”
The navigation was aided immensely
by Malveaux’s rich in-the-field background.
“I was able to talk about going to visit the
Middle East, and specifically Cairo, with
former first lady Laura Bush. She was
dealing with the same questions when we
went there together, shortly after the elec-

tions when there was a lot of corruption
around (former Egyptian President Hosni)
Mubarak’s re-election.”
Despite having been a firsthand witness to such occasions, ex-NBC reporter
Malveaux believes her chance to move to
the CNN anchor desk “came at the perfect
time. I had covered the White House for
nearly a decade, and one of the greatest highlights of my career was the (2008
presidential) campaign. I was living out of
a suitcase for a year, and I embraced that;
it was an unbelievable, remarkable time for
me professionally.”
