forgoes
interim
super hire
By Julia M. Dendinger
Belen
The Belen School Board has
decided to take a pass on naming an
interim superintendent and move forward with the hiring of a permanent
administrator.
At Tuesday evenings meeting,
Board President Larry Lindberg said
after reviewing the four resumes the
district received for the interim position and contemplating the time it
would take to make a decision, it
made more sense to move forward
with advertising for the position.
All the resumes we received were
really good, very well qualified,
Lindberg said. The president said ideally the board members would like
to interview the candidates for the
interim position, just as they will for
the permanent hire, but with only a
few months left in the school year, it
didnt really leave them enough time.
By the time we went through
scheduling the meetings, doing the

Six days after the sudden resignation of New Mexico Sen. Phil Griego
(D-39), the Valencia County commissioners submitted a name to the governors office for consideration Santa
Fe County Commissioner Elizabeth
Stefanics.
Valencia County put out a call for
applicants last week before making its
choice Friday. As of midday Tuesday,
Gov. Susana Martinez had not named
an appointment to the District 39 seat.
Stefanics, a Democrat, is in her second term as commissioner and received
the nomination for the District 39 seat
from the Bernalillo County commissioners and from her own commission.
She served as the District 39 senator
from 1993 to 1996, before it included
Valencia and Lincoln counties.
Other applicants considered by the
Valencia County commissioners for
the nomination were Mateo Luna and
Arturio Sais, both of Rio Communities;
Mike Anaya, of Galisteo; Lance
Lopez, of Albuquerque; Ted Barela, of
Estancia; and Brent Racher, of Corona.
Before the commissioners began
discussing the potential nominees, two
of them were disqualified because they
did not live in the Senate district.

Thanks you for your support
Editor:
On behalf of the Delfino and
Lila Gonzales family of Bosque
Farms, I extend a huge thank you
to all those who helped with the
funeral arrangements and related
logistics in response to the sudden
and unexpected death of their son,
Christopher Gonzales, in New York
City on Jan. 23.
Chris, 54, and a 1978 graduate of
Los Lunas High School, died of a
heart attack and yet had previously
communicated his desire to be buried in his beloved New Mexico. Thus
began the complicated logistical
challenge in just a few, short days of
arranging for the return of the body
to New Mexico and making funeral,
burial and reception arrangements
amidst the nation-wide showering of
condolences from Chris many fans.
Thanks go to Rick Gabaldon and
the staff of Gabaldon Mortuary, who
provided compassionate and professional service in such a difficult time.
Thanks also go to Father Dennis
Kaggwa and the parish members of
the San Isidro Catholic Mission in
Las Nutrias who made the preparations for and conducted the mass and
burial for Chris on Feb. 2.
Heart-felt gratitude is given to
Karen Waconda-Lewis who spearheaded reception arrangements and
to the members of the Bosque Farms
Baptist Church for making available
their fellowship hall for the reception. Special thanks goes to Paula
Robinson, church secretary, for leading a crew of church volunteers to
prepare the room and host the reception.
Appreciation is also given to the
mariachi singers who graced the
reception with their peaceful renditions of a melody of songs so comforting to all who attended. And,
of course, thanks is given to all the
family and friends who displayed so
much love to the Gonzales family,
Chris wife, Mona, and son, Jackson,
in this time of abrupt loss.
Chris, who was known as Chef
Christo Gonzales in Manhattan,
was a nationally-recognized catering chef inducted into the Culinary
Hall of Fame and served as a contributor to more than a dozen media
outlets regarding food, including
the Grilliant Ideas radio program
and the award-winning blog, Chez

He leaves behind a legacy of fruitful and meaningful relationships

What is important?
During the 60-day legislative session that just concluded in Santa
Fe, your New Mexico legislators
were faced with many decisions and
questions that circled around what is
important to our citizens.
You have read all about the proposals that would
have made New
first
Mexico a rightto-work state,
person
held back thirdgraders that can
not read at grade
level, banned
late-term abortions beyond
five months of
pregnancy and
protected your
teenage daugh- Rep. Alonzo
ters;
which
Baldonado
all died in the
Senate
after
passing out of
the House of Representatives.
In addition House Bill 590, sponsored by Rep. Zimmerman, was stymied in the Senate at the hands of
some of your local legislators. This
proposal would have required a person convicted of homicide by vehicle
while intoxicated to serve more of
their prison sentence.

state economic development division to work for all the communities. That is going to be in
everyones favor to move projects
like this forward, Cordova said.
A possible silver lining of
the Global project has been the
attention it focused on Valencia
County, the mayor said.
What Global did for us more
than anything else is connect us
with state economic development
groups and Albuquerque regional
economic development groups
to continue to promote Valencia
County as a whole and southern
Valencia County specifically, he
said. I think those connections
will help in the near future to
attract projects. Companies looking to expand dont always really
look at Valencia County first and
its up to us to make sure economic development organizations
remember we are not that far
from Albuquerque and have a lot
of assets to offer.
The $2 million in state economic development funds for the
business are still earmarked for a
Belen project, Tomita said.
In the finalizing of the LEDA
(local economic development act)
funds, (Global) had to put together their financing information and
we had not received that, Tomita
from PAGE 1A
said.
If the project had continued,
the city would have acted as the
fiscal agent for the money, releasing it as the plans proceeded.
The state is holding the LEDA
funding. They havent given up
yet, Tomita said.
In September, the city council approved a resolution for up
to $45 million in industrial revenue bonds as an incentive for
the manufacturing company. The
bonds, if they had been approved
by an ordinance, would be paid
back by the revenues of the company, not the city. The city didnt
experience any financial loss due
to the cancellation of the purchase
contract, Tomita said.
Valencia County Commission
Chairman Charles Eaton said he
was disappointed to see the project come apart.
I know there has been some
discussion about proceeding in
a different fashion, so hopefully
something will still come into
play, Eaton said. Its tough in
todays economy, there are still a
lot of large corporations pursing
financing who are having just
as tough a time as the working
American individual. We were
hoping this would be a real job
creator for the whole county.
Eaton said he had spoken with
Belen city officials, who are hopeful about alternative plans.
Hopefully something else
will develop soon. I know Mr.
Tabet has done some investment
to the building, improvements to
market the facility, the chairman said. We will continue to
help the city and Mr. Tabet to
market that facility. It has a lot of
potential.

On several occasions since
I took the reins as President

been asked how a business

Chamber honored Petes Pro

that award.
Any Chamber member business, large or small qualies to
be Business of the Month.
Among the criteria that the
Board of Directors considers
are the stability of the business as part of our community
and their customer service
and commitment to the
residents of the Greater Belen

that over time have made improvements to their services
and their facilities that has
strengthen their position in
the community as a solid, viable and needed partners with
us here at the Greater Belen

as important as being a solid

The Belen baseball squad extended its current winning streak to six
with wins on Saturday and Tuesday.
The Eagles (9-3) registered
a dominating double-header performance against visiting Grants
on Saturday at Belen High School
and did the same against visiting
Moriarty, winning 9-2 Tuesday
afternoon.
The Eagles swept the Pirates,
winning game one 9-2 in the morning and blanking Grants 16-0 in
game two that afternoon in five
innings. Belens good fortune
extended to Tuesday when they
defeated the visiting Pintos 8-1.
Its always nice when you can win
two games, said BHS coach Steve
Contreras after the double-header
Saturday. The first game, we as a
team, gave them too many runners.
We werent playing very soundly as a
team. Luckily it didnt hurt us.
The Eagles exploded for eight
runs on four hits and picked up two
walks in the fourth inning, then
added an insurance run in the fifth
inning to dispatch the Pirates.
Belen wasted no time getting on
the board in game two, scoring nine
runs on five hits, all singles, and
benefitting from three walks in the
first inning to take a 9-0 lead.
A four-run third inning and
three-run fourth inning padded the
Eagles lead further and the game
ended in the top of the fifth inning.
(In the) second game, we put
the ball in play throughout the
lineup and made all the routine
plays. The big key was our pitchers
were throwing strikes. When we
throw strikes good, things happen,
Contreras said.
Senior catcher Chris Peralta scored
four runs with two hits and a walk in
the win and pitcher Wyatt Matheson
pitched a two-hitter, scored three runs
and had three hits in the win.
Belen plays Gallup (1-6) in a
rescheduled double-header today
beginning at 3 p.m. then hosts
Albuquerque High (2-7) on Saturday
at 10 a.m. before beginning District
3-5A play at 6 p.m. in Santa Teresa
(8-5) against the Desert Warriors
and a night game next Thursday
night against Valencia (8-3).
BELEN SENIOR THIRD BASEMAN Brandon Ammons (18) moves to tag out a Grants runner during game two of
the Eagles double-header sweep against the Pirates on Saturday. Belen defeated Grants 16-0 in game two in five
innings and 9-2 in game one at Belen High School.
