Valentine's Day weekend in Ruidoso turns deadlY BY DIANNE STAlliNGS RUIDOSO NEWS STAFF WRITEJI

The 19-year-old daughter of Lincoln County Commissioner Monroy Montes was killed over the weekend in a one car accident on Cedar Creek Road.

The Glencoe girl was the first of two fatali­ties in the Ruidoso area in a two-day period including Valentine's Day.

Details of the accident still are sketchy, because it was not reported until after Felisa G. Montes was taken to the emergency room at the Lincoln County Medical Center.

Montes, a student at Eastern New Mexico University in Ruidoso, was a passenger in a 1989 Chevrolet pickup possibly driven by Jason

Gonzales, 23, of Ruidoso, when the vehicle struck an embankment and overturned about

Felisa G. Montes

11:30 p.m .• according to a report filed by investigating State Police Officer Chris Clements, assisted by Sgt. Charlie Devine. The pickup was traveling east on Cedar Creek Road.

Neither Montes nor a second passenger, Manuel .. Chuck" Gutierrez, 21, of Ruidoso Downs, were wearing seat belts, the officers reported. Gutierrez suffered injuries to his collar bone and Montes' neck was bro­

ken either from being thrown out of the pickup or from being tossed about inside the cab,

Going to the dogs

authorities say. Although the investigation still is underway,

preliminary police interviews indicate the two men were able to right the truck and traveled on deflated tires to Furrs on Mechem Drive, where they transferred Montes into a 1985 Toyota sedan, said Richard Stokely, one of the two DW1 prosecutors in the office of District Attorney Scot Key.

Gutierrez drove the three to the hospital. Officers said Gutierrez had been drinking and was charged with driving while intoxicated. He is being held in jail on $50,000 bail, because he already was facing drug-related felony charges in district court, Stokely said Thesday. He had been released from jail with conditions that included not drinking alcohol. Gutierrez' bond

on the earlier charges apparently was revoked by the bails bondsman, Stokely said.

Officers are unsure whether Montes died en route or at the hospital in Ruidoso.

Gonzales may have left the hospital after dropping off Montes. But Gutierrez sought treat­ment at the hospital.

Because no officers were called to the scene when the accident occurred, the newly-created Major Crime Unit, a collaboration among the state police, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and the Ruidoso Police Department, was mus­tered to investigate the accident after the fact. said Assistant D~strict Attorney Canon Stevens.

)j;mergency medical services in Lincoln County will fall under the supervision of the the Lincoln County Medical Center under a new agreement that may be effec-tive March 1. ..

County commissioners hope the change translates to fairer treatment of emergency volun­teers and more consistent service for those who need ambulances, including personnel with more training and access to better equipment.

Thesday, commissioners approved a contract with the med­ical center, which manages the Ruidoso Emergency Medical Service, specifying that $36,532 is the maximum amount the hospi­tal can draw from the county to make up any deficits through June 30.

Ruidoso campaign marred by vandalism BY DIA!'.'Nf STALUNC\ Rl /()()\() '-f u·1 HAll u·R/TI R -~-· ---------------

For the first time in at least the last decade of Ruidoso munici­pal campaign politics, someone has stooped to theft, defacmg of public property and destruction of a candidate's signs, says Ruidoso Police Chief Lanny Maddox

It's trashy politics at its worst, he said Monday. And it's aimed at Mayor Jerry Shaw.

"From all indications - the dumpst£>rs selected and the fact that the actions deal with a politi­cal isAuc - we believe this was either done by an adult or was adult instigated," Maddox said.

Shaw called the police depart­ment over the weekend to report several garbage dumpsters had been defaced with the slogan "Dump the Mayor."

On Monday, the criminal octivity had escalated.

One of her plywood political signs had been blacked out with paint, while ne>arby signs of her opponents, Village Councilors Robert Donaldson and Bob Sterchi were untouched. A third large ply­wood sign, situated be>tween Donaldson and Sterchi signs on Sudderth Drive at the municipal tennis courts, was stolPn. Refon' it was taken, someone reported a foul word had been written ocross its front.

The missing sign read "Re-elect Jerry Shaw Mayor" on

-. County jail managers request further funding •

BY DIANNE STAWNGS Rl"IDOM) .-.:£U.lo .UA.FF W'AUT£11

Lincoln County's jail in Carrizozo will be managed for another 40 days by Con-ections Systems Inc.

The oompany's current 60-day. $17,500 contract, approved under an e~ncy declara­tion. will expire March 6.

In extending the contract with CSI, County Commissioners said Thesday they still are operating under an emergency situation at the jail, which was left floundering in . crowded conditions late last year after its director suffered a stroke and two guards were charged with crimes.

Charles Thrnbo of CSI agreed to aroept $10,000, which comes to $250 per day. for his oompany to manage the jail for another 40 days, canying the commission through its April meeting.

The arrangement was sug­gested by Commissioner William Schwettmann and made official by Commissioner Wdton Howell in a motion that passed 4-0 with Commissioner Monroy Montes absent due to a death in his family.

County Manager Frank Potter was directed to work with Thrnbo and Mike Borrego, who manages the jail and is a consul­tant with CSI. to complete changes requested by the com­pany.

Thrnbo said an examination of the jail's financial books uncoVered $20,000 owed to the county by other jails that housed their prisoners in Lincoln County. That coupled with more

than $7,000 ooUected from the irunate telephone service to be used for inmate needs, should cover the rost of the changes and the contract extension, he said.

In an eight-page report to commissioners, Thmbo asked for about $3.200 to create a med­ical examination/treatment room at the jail by removing the laundry from the kitchen area. The laundry would be moved to a small county-owned house across the street from the jail.

That would allow a nurse on oontract to screen new arrivals for oonununicable diseases and other conditions.

The oost of a nurse would be additional. but he has met with ofl"l.cials from the Lincoln County Medical Center to an-ange cov­erage. She may work out of the health clinic in Carrl;.-.ozo and visit the jail twice a we-K

Part of the $7,000 would be used to replace poorly working color television sets at the jail, Thrnbo said.

About $1,000 is needed to do maintenance and repair on key and locking systems, he said.

The next phase of CSI's management of the jail will focus on training of personnel, records management, evalua­tion of stafllng needs, developing a long tenn comprehensive cor­rections plan for the county. updating written policies and procedures. and other improve­ments.

The jail still is f"llled to capacity, but only four inmates are housed in jails outside the county, and those are special management cases, he said. When CSI took over, 16 irunates were in other jails. which costs

the county more money than having them in Carrizozo-

Peter Ennen, a loss preven­tion specialist with the New Mexioo Insurance Authority, told commissioners he just Inspected the jail and found a tremendous change in the physical plant,· which has been painted. Smoke detectors haVe been added, as well as cameras and other sur-­veillance devices, he said.

The changes in manage·

ment has resulted in great· · improvement and shows that • · the commission is headed in the· · rildlt direction, Ennen said,· . ad<linll that the next step is for . ClOJJllJ>lSSion to look at a long term solution. • . · The countY's annual jail budget is $682,000. A committee· · has been appointed to review•. whether to build a new facility, · remodel the old one, or find some other alternative.

Audit reveals five Ruidoso lodges underpaid village tax

An annual audit of Ruidoso's hotels and motels turned up five out of 14 who underpaid their lodger's taxes to the village of Ruidoso.

Auditor Ronnie Hemphill recently presented the findings of his audit, conducted every year at the instigation of the village, to the Ruidoso Vill"'!" Council.

"Out of the 14, nine lodgers had no exceptions and no sig· nificant findings," Hemphill said.

The remaining five had various problems that lead to an underpayment of lodgers tax, he said. The most under­paid was slightly more than $1,000. The least amount was about$39.

The village did not release the names of the lodging estab­lishments cited in the audit, saying the audit information is considered proprietary in nature and not public record.

The errors were mostly due

to clerical errors, biadequate · records or a failure to pay Jam . · payment fees, he said. - ·

The records of one lodging .. -establishment were removed: ; from village limits, which is against th:e law, Hemphill said.;:: That same lodging establish--: ment did not have sufficient_ and/or adequate records to ; support the lodgers tax BUl'Vey. : by auditors, he added. Eventually, the records were returned to village limits, he' said.

The village has a total of 73. · lodging vendors. Fourteen of·~ those were randomly selected · · by the village for the audit. The . number of lodgers included in· . the audit was doubled from the · prior year. .

Councilor Bob Sterchi, .. · upon hearing Hemphill's .. : report, suggested that the vii-.. , lage again increase the num·:-; ber of lodging vendors includ,. , ed.

the hospital from GutierreZ has been sent to the state laborato­ries for analysis, Stokely said. The results may not be avail­able for one week.

"I don't believe any samples were taken from Gonzales, because the officers weren't able to speak to him untij. mw;:h later," Stokely said.

As of Thesday, no one had been charged in connection with Montes' death, Stokely said. He explained that a vehic­ular homicide charge in NeW Mexico requires that the driver either be intoxicated or driving recklessly. If the road was icy or other conditions led to the acci­dent, a lesser charge or no charge at all might result, he said.

Choneska was driving down Chase Street from Wingfield Street about 10:30

County Commission looks at public land rules A sportsman reminded

Li._ncoln County Commission· erJJ Tuesday--that they should be watching out for the rights of' all federal land users, not just ranchers.

"I'd like to see everyone treated fairly. I'm not against the ranchers, but in this docu­ment they're asking for some­thing I can"t have.'"

County standing in decisio';s about the use of federal land within its boundaries. It will replace an interim plan adopt­ed several years ago.

Ce~si<?ner~s's?n scheduled to plea b~ Ruidoso Fmt Savmgs Bank robbery chargcrH

Bob Hollis, a hunter and member of the county's Public Land Use Advisory ·Council, asked them to include lan­guage in a proposed land use plan to. ensure that public access to federal land is main­t~;~.ined by private land owners adjoining federal property.

. Commissioner Wilton Howell agreed that the plan should provide for public access through private land. As now written, the proposal says access is required, but should not place encum­brances on p:fivate property rights.

At the request of Joel Bon­nell, chairman of the County Agricultural Affairs Commit-. tee~ the proposal was sent back to that board for one more look. And County Attor­ney Alan Morel was directed to remove language that might obligate the county to perform costly functions.

Vincente Morites, .the $On of Lincoln <County Commis­sioner Monroy Montes, will he back in Lincoln County Friday to enter a plea to a robbery charge, law enforcement offi­cials said 'fuesday.

While here, Montes, who also faces a murder charge in · Bemalilli> County, ma.Y also he allowed to attend the funeral of

his sister, Felisa Montes, who died Saturday in a automobile accident.

A spokesman ror the oft-.ce of Assistant District Attorney V10la Rhodes said she was not able to release the terms of the plea agreement because it has not been signed by Montes. But he is scheduled to enter a plea in district court Friday.

Sheriff 1bm Sulli said he received a ·court ~ to · transport Ymcente """"tas from the Bernalillo ~Jail 'fuesday and bring him back to Lincoln County.

Montes, 20 , is ¢barged with the Nov. 4, 1996 armed robbery of Ruidoso First Sav­ings Bank.

He also cautioned that some wording in the proposed plan could impose costly oblig­ations on the county.

Property owners have a right to place access where they want it, instead of allow­ing people to cross their land right next to their houses or corrals, said Howard Hutchi­son, executive director of the Coalition of Arizona and New Mexico Counties, who reviewed the document.

Vandalism: the Ruidoso Police Department is investigating the crimes "Access to public land can't

be fenced, but fences are being used to keep people off.'" he told commissioners. "I"d like to see a portion of this plan dedi­ca,ted to recreation to give peo­ple public access to their land.

Shaw first heard about the graffiti on the dumpsters Fri· day fioonj a supporter, she said.

"It uuide the !ric~<." she said Monday. "I'Ve been thinking about it for three days. I've never seen anything like this

.,before in Ruidoso. I want to think that it's not politically motivated and that maybe it is a personal attack, because I don't see many issues sepa.rat-

ing the candidates. It's my two opponents, who are councilors, Who make the decisions. The mayor does not vote. When I take action, it's witJt the advice and consent of the council.

'What could I. have done to generate this ·type of animosi· ty?''

Maddox said Oflicer Mark Nelson is. investigating ·the criminal complaint .and is anx­ious to talk to anyone who may have seen a vehicle near any of Shaw's signs or by any of the defaced dumpsters · late last week or over the weekend.

"I don't recall anything like

this in the past elections," Maddox said. ·"And she's the only one it's being done to."

Contacted Monday, Sterchi said the three mayor candi­dates are friendly.

.. In my opinion, we have three well-qualified candidates running for mayor," he said.

If convicted of a !felony, a person could be sentenoed 'up to-18 months in a staW:prison and/or a $:,1,000 fine. II' the cost of repainting and ~dmment is less than $1,000, l:h.arge would be a misd · anor, which chrries a sentence of up to one year in county jail and a $1,000 rme. .

Calling its prevalence "an affront to our loyal customers," Lincoln CableVision announced a multi-phased sti-ategy to reduce theft of cable service in its system.

Cable theft is a felony offense, that, according to cable industry sources, accounts fur more than $5 billion in lost revenue each year. The fore­gone revenue is manifested in many ways, including upward pressure on subscriber rates, lessened investment in plant, equipment and programming and reduced franchise fees and taxes paid to the community.

The effort, according to Lincoln CableVJSion officials, will begin with a multi-media education and amnesty period intended to raise awareness of the problem and its conse­quences. During this period, those receiving unauthorized cable service can come forward without fear of reprisal

Thereafter, the cable sys-. tern will conduct a house-to­house audit to pinpoint where theft. continues to exist.

You may think that stealing cable TV is no big deal. Fact is, much like shoplifting, cable theft forces everyone's prices higher. It takes money that could otherwise be invested in better programming, system improvements and even in the community. And it's a ·felony offense that could carry hefty fines and even jail tirne.

If you're not paying for cable, come forward before our house-to-house audit begins. We promise to put you on our subscriber list, no questions asked. Which, by the way, is a whole lot easi.er tha"n answering his.

decided fi.·change the name when it changed the content of what fl.nce was called the "hillside development" ordi• n Clllce. !'i"p~. as passed by the council last week, it's the "residential terrain management" ordinance.

So, ntly, any sort <;>f commercial enterprise could come to town and buy up a mountainside and scrape a· ehunk out of it, an~ nothing would be illegal., at least so .far as "hillside maliagement" (that is, control of floodingJ!" erosion on steeP slopes) is concerned. .

The wjginal idea was ~uce hilli;ide damage and flooding .by discouraging development on hillsides -which is·•what Ruidoso has more of than anything else.

Last week's unanimous vote by the village council (the mayor doesn't v- except to break ties) accepted as final. a revised ordinance that had been rewritten twice under pressure·"'rom developers who insisted that the rules were too rigid. The one accepted was drafted by a council sub-committee made Up of three council members -Robert Dnnaldson, Bill Chance and Bob Sterchi - and two developers who had been a,pppinted by Mayor Jerry Shaw, Tim Hoyt and Tim Collins. ·

Commissioners revamp county government employee policies

Ha:w many hour'S an employee of Lincoln County government works at another job is no business of a boss unless it' affects job perfor~ mance, CountY COIPlllissioners say.

. They eliminated a. clause in a proposed employee policy handbook Tuesday that would h~ l'eQ.Uire workers· to get ~ssion to work oUtside jobs and would have placed a limit on the nWJiber of hours spent on a· second job.

"IC a Person isn't dOing his or her job, then it will affect their evaluation," said County Clef!< 1,\fartha Proo!;or.

Other items settled before the commission approved the new policies included:

• That because of the small size- of the Carrizozo communi­ty, it is permissible for ~lativeS to work in c:ounty govermn~nt

but a person c~not be directly supervised by a relative.

• That an· in.creBse from two to three week of vacation will not be granted to employ­ees with 15 years or more of -service.

• That employees will receive three days of bereave­ment leave, w:ile.ss out of state travel is. btvoiVed, then an additional two d,.Ys will be · granted. This applieB only to the losB of immediate family members. defined as spouse~ children, parents. grandpar­ents, siblings, grandchildren and ""f. relative who lives in: an emplOyee's home.

• That employees ~ be involved in volunteer activities such as firefightiug or em.M-

medical technician but gency . must dQ it on his ·or her own time .if any reimbursement is pajd by the volunteer agency.

We've skied Santa Fe, Taos, Red River, Purgatory, and Vail, but I think Ski Apache is just as chal­lenging as anywhere else ... there's sOme-thing for everybody." .

Wells also was impressed with the Ski Apache staff. "People here are so much nicer. They act like they appreciate your business," Wells said.

MAN-EAr-DoG WoRlD BY DIANNE STALLINGS RUIDOSO NEWS n'MF WRITER

. They taka abuee from pet' owners angry about pa,ying a fine for animals repeatedly picl<ad up running.looee.

They defend to tbe unsym­pathetic the Lincoln County Humane Society's policy mendated by state law - that requires all animals adopted from shelters be spayed or neutered to prevent future unwanted litters.

And theY try to maintain a poeitive end helpful attituda despite often eeeing the human animal at its worst - allowing uncontrolled pet . breeding, abusing pets, not protecting them against dieease end then dispoeing of them when they become inconvenient.

Yet Jim Riggins, adminiB· trator of the society's animal shelter on GaVilan Canyon R.m:d, and Sandra .Ford-Wen­zel, assistant 8.dmini8trator, say they chose their jobs beeauae they belisve in the society's mission end taka sat­isfaction in seeing the cause· advance, even if it's by small steps.

Riggins grew up in Ojai, Calif., before joining the Army. He had the typieal childhood with plenty of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, "and one ill­fated pig adventurs until my mothers made us get rid of it,'' he said, adding, "We probably weri!n't the best educated pet

·owners, but we took care or them."

Riggins, who looks like he could still bresth down tbe neck of an offensive center, played football in high school and continued in semi·pro com­petition while in the militluy in Europe.

maks progress. The toughest part was hitting the barricades to p«>greBB, especially tbe igno­rance that had .set in genera­tion after generation. I had to tell myself that huge sweeping changes come in small mere.. mental changes in opinions. ·

"You have· to be tenacious. I've learned you can wait abnost anything out. Don't .hs reactionary.••

Like most people, Riggins also found euthanasia, the killing of unadoptable animals under the most humane condi· tious currentlY available, a niaJ. downside to the job.

"But it is a tool to the mis­sion until spaying and neuter­ing is universally accepted end utilized and we can put our­selves out of that side of tbe job," he said

In Las Cruces, the shelter was inundated with · animals that that hadn't been vaccinat­ed in five generatious, he said.

"The females would live long enough just for a few lit­ters," he said. 'We received wild cats and· tick infested, dis­eased animals.

"Only one out of 10 were adoptable in a realistic sense. So we were doing the true defi­nition of a humane death to avoid a more painful one. It's tbe quality, not tbe quantit;y of life thAt's important' and that's a tough distinction for people, even humane grou}ls. to make."

Seeing the sickness, neglect end abuee mads the jobs easier to acc:ept until there, is another alternative, Riggins said.

Although he played all four seasons while in uniform, Rig­gins also wimt through tough training in an Airborne Infantry lJnit of combat rangers, pert of a quick reac­tion team for the Middle East crisis. He also trained for the military· police~ background that eventulllly landed him a job as an animal control officer in Las Cruces.

While in high school, rug. gins took industrial arts and wood shop, a preview of his current fascination with build-ing Southwest furniture. ·

"But I was always trying things that were too big for me at the time;• he said. "I built a boat that sunk with me in it. And I built a pedal-powered car that fell apart in the middle of an intersection."

His last 11 montha in tbe military, Riggins was stationed at White Sands. After deciding he didn't want to r....,stablish his ties in California, he came back to New Mexico, where he ran the building materials sec­tion of a lumber yard just a few months after joining the com­pany.

He was hired by animal control at a time when it paid' the same as a state pollee offi­cer. He stayed in _the position a year, then also signed on with the humane society in Dofia Ana Count;y, working two jobs, one at night. When a position with the society opened for a public relationsJassistant diJ'ec .. tor, Riggins was moved into thet post full time. W.thin one year, be becam~ director (in Dona Ana County).

''By deflnition. a non-profit organization can do things cheaper, yet can refuse to run a stripped down. inefficient oper­ation," he said. "There are too many places in New Mexico, where one part-time officer has to cover. 1,200 square miles. They eventually find out it costs them twice as much to clean up the problem later. Las Cruces spent millions to clean up a rabies scare because too many dogs were running loose." ..

Ford-Wenzel said she's most proud of the society's edu­cation program she launched in grades first through sixth in Ruidoso schools.

Through the society's spon­sorship, a publication of the American Humane Society stressing kindness to animals and others, is distributed in the classrooms of 30 teachers.

'We need to grab them now so we don't see some of the neg­ative attitudes continue into the next generation," Ford­Wenzel said.

Riggins agreed, noting that mental health professionals recognize the connection between cruelty to animals and adUlt violent behavior.

The two administrators previously worked together in Las Cruces.

Ford-Wenzel was born in. Riverside, Calif., and attended college in Santa Barbara. She moved to Santa Fe in the early 1980s, where she worked as an assistant to several artists. She briefly moved back to Califor­nia, but decided New Mexico ·was the place she wanted to raise her son, now eight. She moVed to Las Cruces, where she did freelance iu-t and decid­ed to take on another jhb with the shelter there in 1992 ..

"' j>aesed the shelter every­day," she said. "And a lot of my

work included dogs, and still does to this day. I paint dogs and people and the companion­ship between there, because of my great love for Horse, my dog (that she adopted from JJ shelter in California)."

She started S.s a kennel hand and moved into the front office within six to eight months. · . "I knew I wanted to learn

everything,about the job.'' she said. "I knew I loved and want­ed to s~ay in the field and move up."

She also ran the local pet cemetery.

"I earned my credentials and was ready when the jOb opened here," Ford~ Wenzel said. Those credentials include experience, common sense and a work ethic. she said.

"I know not many people could do the job and that I do it well and that's job satisfaction," Ford-Wenzel said. The move­ment is something I believe in and the field always h8.s room for growth and. ch~nge." ·

Ford-Wenzel and Riggins recently were recognized for their work in trying to form a federation of animal shelter PrOfessionals in New Mexico. On a recommendation from its regional representative, the Humane Society of the United States awarded the two an all­expense paid scholarship to attend.its four-day annual con­vention, trade show and work~ shops in San Diego, Calif.

By the way, Riggins and Ford-Wenzel have living proof of their fondness for animals.

Riggins, his wife and two children have four dachshunds, eight other dogs and three cats. Ford~Wenzel, her husband (an artist she met in Ruidoso) and son have · a Doberman~ a wolfhound, a terrier/heeler and five dogs of various mixes.

Once interested faculty members are identified or have volunteered, Klinekole said her first goal is to coordinate workshops and seminars · at the tribal colleges, where NMSU faculty can develop a rapport with prospective stu­dents. The first workshop/sem­inar could be held as soon as the end of this month.

Also on the front burner is a three..day orientatiOn "pro­gram in late April, during which up to 40 American Indi­an students (10 from each tn"b­al college) will be brought .to NMSU to meet faculty research mentors. view the campus, tour facilities and get acquainted with resources, ser­vices and support groups.

For the long term, IOinekole said she sees a grOW­ing number of American Indi­an students enrolled in tribal colleges being chosen to cpfi­

duct paid research in close cooperation with NMSU facul­ty in the humanities or social sciences. When the targeted students attain their associ­ate's degrees and· their research prqjects are" complet­ed, Klinekole said each student would be given the opportunity to transfer to NMSU and com­plete a four-year degree.

EU:CI'IONS

Village clerks in Lincoln County hope for higher voter turnouts BY DIANNE 5TALUNGS Ruidoso News staff writer .

Voters in Lincoln County's five municipalities will elect four may­ors, II governing board members and two judges Tuesday, March 3.

Village clerks are hoping the turnout will be higher than in years past when participation has ·run less than 25 percent in many vil­lages and has dipped.as low as 14 percent in Ruidoso.

In all, 37 candidates are parti.:i · paling in contc~: .. J elections.Running without opposi­tion are Ruidoso's Municipal Judge Mike Line, Cal'ilan's Mayor

Norm Renfro and Corona's Mayor Ernest Lueras.

Because issues don't seem to be at the core of the races, it appears most of the contests will be decid­ed based on the 11ersonalities and a111'eal of the individual candidates.

In the most contested race in. a decade in Ruidoso Downs, eight peo11le are vying for two o11en council positions. The mayor's. position is not up for election.

Trustees are paid $200 a month. Voting will be at the Senior Citizens Center in Ruidoso Downs and about 800 people are eligible to coast their votes ..

In Ruidoso, two candidates are

opposing the incumbent mayor in the March election. 1\vo incum­bent councilors and five chal­lengers are running for three seats on Ruidoso's vil,lage council.

The mayor is paid $500 per month and trustees receive the same amount. The village has 5, 756 registered voters, but some candidates say that number is inflated, because the voter rolls are not being purged under a change in the state election law.

The village polling place is th~ Ruidoso Convention Center off Mechem Drive.

Five candidates are bidding for two seats on the Capitan Board of

Trustees. 1\vo are incumbents try­ing to keep their political jobs. After the election, the mayor will be paid $500 a montiJ. and trustees will collect $100.

The incumbent munfcipatjullge also faces one opponent. The win­ner will be paid $400 per month ..

All terms are for four years. As of ·mid-January, Capitan had 848 voters registered for the election. Voting takes place at the county fair building. ·

In Carrizozo, the mayor faces a challenger ·for a third term. The board of trustees recently approved_ $400 for whoever heads the village after the election.

Newly elected trustees will be paid $100 a month.

1\vo incumbents are among the five persons going for two seal~· of . that town!s board of trustees. In January., the village had 662 regis­tered voters; Voting takes place at city hall.

Voters asked to approve more than $4 million in bonds BY TONI K. LAxsoN Ruidoso News staff writer

Ruidoso voters will decide March 3 on a bond election of as much as $4.6 million for improve­ments to the village's water sys­tem.

To al'l'rovc the bond, voters would have to answer "yes" to two questions - first, a continuation nf a current 1-cent gross recei11ts tax; and second, a bond issue of up to $4,625,000.

"And first of all, it needs to be understood that even if both ques­tions nne and two are defeate~. the (supl'lemental gross receil'ls) tax will remain until 2003," Village

Manager Gary Jackson has said. "The second thing is that water impr&vements are needed nnw, they will be needed next year and the year after that."

Currently, the village is imposing the I -cent gross receipts tax for l'ay­ment of bonds from the early 1980s. Those bonds will be paid off by the year 2003, Jackson said.

At that time, Ruidoso's sales tax of6.9centswoulddropby 1-cent.lf the March bond is approved, the 1-cent tax would continue, Jackson said, adding that it is the village's goal to pay off bonds possibly with­in eight years.

"If we can keel' the terms (of the bonds' maturity) less than 20, 25

years, then we can keep more money in the improvements rather than just paying interest," he said.

The bond, if approved, will not have any impact on property taxes.

Ruidoso councilol'li first dis­cussed the possibility of a bond elec­tion when they reached an agree­ment this past fall with Capitan over Eagle Creek water rights. The agree­ment's cost to Ruidoso is 11redicted to be in the seven-fig~re range, vil­lage leaders say. The final cost will be decided following an appraisal of Eagle Creek assets.

The exact amount of the possible bond, which wil be used to purchase Eagel Creek assets and other water improvements, has not been

announced yet, Jackson said.. . Ruidoso's capital improvement

plan calls for $3.4 million of work to the water system in the next five years, Jackson said, adding that the scheduled work was considered to be the minimum requirements.

Ruidoso's water system requires such extensive work for three rea-sons, Jackson said:

• Ruidoso is located in the arid Southwest, where water concerns are a priority for municipalities.

• Ruidoso's mountainous terrain requires a more complex and expen­sive water system than would be required on a more level terrain. The

· Ruidoso system, with 37 pressure zones, is one of the most complex in

•

the state. • Ruidoso's water system was

ignored by village leaders for years, and a regular pattern of upkeep neglected.

If a11proved, the bond would be limited to about $4.6 million and could be used only on the water sys- _ tern, Jackson said.

The state allows municipalities to bond out as much $9 million with the 1-cent supplemental gross receipts referendum, and Ruidoso already has a total of $4.4 million bonded in supplemental gross receipts tax bonds.

The village has other debt, but it was not incurred through the gross receipts referendum.

The Ruidoso News is sponsoring two candidate forums that will be held on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.

Ruidoso and Ruidoso Downs candidates will be featured at the Civic Center on Feb. 25. Don't miss your chance to have you're questions answered and to fmd out

My goal as a trustee is to con­tinue working with whoever gets elected and work as a team to try to improve the infrastructure of Carrizozo and to improve the qual­ity of life for all citizens.

2. How would you achieve those goals?

To come up with some projects that will make people say I am proud to have helped out. BumJuahs 2. How would Coundl candldale you achieve those goals?

By listening to the \X)mmunity and finding out what type of pro· jects would benefit the majority of the people, not just some.

enhancement within our political system for the weltiuc of all our cit· izens. .

This would also demand attention and cooperation within all local, county, slate and federal government.

3. What qualifu;ations or a/lrib­utes make you a good candidate?

The knowledge of proceeding with whatever it lakes to gain the information from our citizens on their issues and conce1ns, and the ability to accomplish Ibis through honesty and integrity is what enabled me to assist in the acquisi: tion and utilization of a new and expanded Senior Citizen center in Corona. Going to Sanla Fe and les· tifying before the Legislature and reaching a positive answer of $90,000 was a tremendous educa­tion that made me aware of the fact that people, untied for a common purpose can achieve great things. The leadership characteristics to positively motivate others is a gift. Responsibility and accountability ate mandatory for this position.

My prima­ry goal is to ~cc property taxes reduced. I am very much con-cerned about the property taxes. residen­tial and non-residential. and

Patton Counolor candidate

the i.lpparcnt lack of concern shown by our village officials as to the in_lpact on our senior citizens, many of whom live on a fixed income. Our husinesses provide jobs as well as revenue for the village and I fear that the current level of taxation we have will drive many from Ruidoso.

2. How would you achieve those goals?

Dy a complele moratorium on additional hond issues until those we currently have are retired .. To accom­plish this we must put a halt to unnec­essary spending. I also believe that much closer oversight must be exer­cised over village purchasing, espe­cially in the' area of contract awards to insure that the village gels the best value for its money. The current sys­lem opens the door for abuse and waste that must not be allowed to continue.

3. What qualifications or aurib­u/es make you a gu0£1 candidate?

I've both the experience and necessary time to closely observe

the inner workings of our village gov­ernment. The job of councilor is reg­ulated by state statute and, within any limits that may be set by law, I intend to watch how the business of our vil­lage government is conducted. My past involvement in business has con­vinced me of the need for intelligent doubting when the issue of spending without sufficient information, or jus­tification, is proposed.

Alan G. Settles 200 Chelsea Drive Ruidoso

I. What are your goal(.\') in run­fling for til is office?

I've chosen Ruidoso to be my permanent home. I would like to con­lrihute whatev­er I can to Settles making it a Coundlor candidate better place for all who live here. I am especially sensitive-to the plight of our older citizens - many of whom live on tight budgets. My specific goals are twofold: To reduce both residential and non-residential property taxes and to promote a more business-like and taxpayer-account­able environment relative to the oper­ations of our village government.

2. How would you achieve those goals?

Through the reduction of property taxes (which can be accomplished) and by initiating a plan to make vil­lage government accountable to the taxpayers. Millions of dollars, from a variety of sources, flow into the vil­lage government each year,. yet I have never seen an accounting of these funds. nor have I seen a village bud­get published (Editor's note: The vil­lage invites the public every year to a series of budget workshops,· and vil­lage budgcls are published and available at Ruidoso Village Hall). I would work to change this. We must have taxpayer oversight lo reduce the possibility of abuse and waste.

3. Wlrat qualifications or aurib­utes make you a good candidate?

I am very detail oriented. Both my education, which allows me to grasp complex technical issues. and my experience in running a suc­cc"isful husiness over many years, make me a viable candidate. I look

--~-------------......--~···----·--

upon village government as being a business and the taxpayers as being shareholders who deserve competent m.anagemenl and accountability. Being retired I have the time necessary to observe close­ly what is being done by our village government.

I. Wlrat are your goal ( s) in running for

· tlris office? Under my

leadership vil­lage govern­ment has pro­gressed· smoothly and wiJhout con­tl ict. My goals are to sec a Shaw continuation of Mayor (Incumbent)

orderly , progress and a continuation of the programs and negotiations started during my tenure. I have been involved in the purchase negotiations of the Eagle Creek Water Corp., which will assure Ruidoso future water needs and assist·Capitan with its water problems. Similarly, we are nearing the end of negotiations with LCSWA

I am most proud of the historic joint powers agreement with the schools so our youths have ballparks. I created a vital Arts Commission. which has developed a strategic plan and is establishing criteria for art in public places. The visioning process through public hearings will give input into updating the master plan.l have worked toward the expansion of parks and recreation and senior and youth needs since first 'becoming a part of the governing process in 1984.
