Teen killed in head-on collision

WINDOW ROCK A 19-year-old Lukachukai man died instantly Tuesday
when a high-speed head-on collision crushed him behind the steering
wheel of his small car.
Navajo police said Adrian Bia died in the 4 p.m. collision as he headed
south on New Mexico Route 371 about five miles south of Crownpoint
in a 1999 Ford Escort. He rounded a curve at a high rate of speed
and tried to pass another southbound motorist, Helen Musket, 41, of
Gallup. She told officers she pulled over to the right when she saw
the car come up behind her at a high rate of speed.
At the same time, Mike Tulley, 70, of Crownpoint was headed north,
the Crownpoint Police District report said. When he saw Bia's car
approach in his lane, the report said Tulley steered into the southbound
lane in an attempt to give Bia room to complete his pass halfway between
Mile Posts 19 and 20.
However, Bia pulled back into the southbound lane and directly into
the head-on collision with the 1995 Ford XL-150 pickup truck, the
Law Enforcement and Criminal Investigations Departments' reports said.
Tulley was taken to the University of New Mexico hospital in Albuquerque
in stable condition and was to undergo surgery, detectives said.
Detectives added that the impact bounced the little car back almost
24 feet from the point of impact that also carried the bigger pickup
truck forward almost another 34 feet.
The Navajo Criminal Investigations Department is awaiting toxicology
reports before closing its report.</sub><cm+bd>Assault
charges<cm-bd>
Navajo police arrested a 23-year-old Chilchinbeto man last Saturday
on charges of aggravated battery, disorderly conduct and criminal
damage after he allegedly stabbed a 16-year-old boy living at the
same address.
When Charles White came home drunk to his home about one mile southeast
of Bureau of Indian Affairs Route 59, disrupted the household and
then broke windows in a vehicle, the family called police, according
to the Kayenta Law Enforcement District report.
On the way to the scene the officer met the family taking the stabbed
boy to the Kayenta Indian Health Service clinic. The wound in the
stomach was not serious, a police spokesman said later.
Another stabbing
Navajo police arrested a 20-year-old Tohatchi man Feb. 6 after he
allegedly stabbed a 24-year-old Tohatchi man at a Window
Rock home.
Charged with aggravated battery and evidence tampering was Jonathan
Hardy, 20, who lives about a half-mile north of Tohatchi High School,
as does the victim, Ronald Yazzie, 24. The Navajo Criminal Investigations
Department report did not indicate how he may have tampered with evidence.
Yazzie was taken to the Fort Defiance IHS hospital with stab wounds
on his left arm and chest after an alcohol-involved incident around
4 a.m. Officers arrested Hardy before 1 p.m. the same day in Tohatchi.
The report did not say how liquor was involved in the incident.
The case has been turned over to the Safe Trails Task Force, a joint
tribal-federal program to investigate and prosecute serious crimes
on the Navajo Reservation. U.S. law provides stiffer sentences and
fines than Congress allows tribal courts to impose.

2nd Maryboy joins council
Jim Maniaci
Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK The 19th Navajo Nation Council has its third new
delegate in a little over two years, while the Oljato Chapter in the
Western Agency had a tie for its presidency.
Interim Delegate Kenneth Maryboy won a three-way race Tuesday to be
the successor to David John for the council district that includes
the Aneth, Mexican Water and Red Mesa Chapters.
Maryboy received 203 votes to Victor Dee's 192 votes and Curtis Yamito's
121 votes.
If there is no grievance from the other two candidates over the voting,
he will join Stanley Hardy and Frank Chee Willeto in completing terms
which will end in January 2003.
Hardy succeeded Richard Begay Jr. in representing the Toadlena-Two
Grey Hills Chapter while Willeto succeeded the late Harry Jackson
as the delegate for the Pueblo Pintado and Torreon Chapters.
Begay and John were removed by the council's Ethics-Rules Committee
for ethical and council delegate rules violations involving the Navajo
Tribal Utilities board and the Navajo Nation Hospitality Enterprises.
With Maryboy's certification, tribal history will be set as he and
older brother Mark become the first siblings to serve on the council
at the same time for the same district. The district's third delegate
is Robert Billy Whitehorse.
Other chapter-level offices filled Tuesday:
Oljato Chapter (one of two challenged votes rejected) president, tie
between James Black and Garry P. Holiday after the latter gained the
one allowed challenged ballot, with 106 votes each, as Tom Rock Sr.
got 80 votes and Harve Holiday 41 votes;
Kayenta Community School board seat, Betty Jo Bracker, 227 votes,
and Francis Paul Shorty, 95 votes.
The presidency and school board seat became vacant when the Ethics-Rule
Committee removed Walter Atene for ethics violations in the same case
that forced John from office in the Don Hubbard scandal.
Once the interim elections board, the council's Inter-Government Relations
Committee, certifies the Feb. 13 voting, a run-off must be held within
30 days between Black and Holiday.
Aneth Chapter president, Bill Todacheenie, 171 votes; secretary-treasurer,
Jamie Harvey, 182 votes; Aneth Community School board seat, Ellen
M. Etsitty, 169 votes.
Harvey had to step down as president when an administrative law judge
ruled he did not register to vote in time and therefore was not, at
the time, qualified to run for office. By the February election he
was registered for a long enough time to qualify to run.
Ojo Encino Chapter secretary-treasurer, Felicita Sala, 61 votes.
Little Water Chapter (includes one challenged ballot included in the
total) Crownpoint Community School board seat, Thomas L. Manning Sr.,
19, and Paul D. Pablo, 16, including the challenged ballot.

Good Samaritan's killer sought
Tara Drolma
Staff Writer
MILAN Christopher Pervorse, 46, of Bluewater, was just trying
to help a stranger when he was murdered Tuesday night.
Pervorse was the manager of Bowlins' Gas Station and Dairy Queen in
Bluewater.
According to witnesses, a man, whose car apparently had broken down,
asked Pervorse for a ride into town to a motel. Pervorse agreed to
help him.
About 7:39 the Milan Police Department received a call to go to the
Cross Roads Motel at the west end of Milan near the intersection of
State Routes 605 and 122. When officers arrived they found Pervorse
alive, lying on the ground on his back. He was taken by ambulance
to Cibola General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Milan Police Chief Alfonso Martinez said he thought the victim had
three gunshot wounds to the right side, but he won't know the details
until he receives the medical investigator's report.
Police speculate that Pervorse was shot somewhere on State Route 122
between the Bluewater turnoff and Milan.
The car the suspect was driving was a 1988 gold Ford Taurus and it
has been impounded, said Sgt. Jerry Stephens. The car is registered
to some residents of Socorro. An Albuquerque television station reported
the address on the registration appears to be an abandoned residence.
The stolen truck, which belonged to Pervorse, is a blue and silver
2001 Dodge Ram. The suspect is an African-American, about 5 feet,
3 inches in height and weighing about 140 pounds. He was last seen
wearing a green jacket and black pants.
Martinez said officers from the Cibola County Sheriff's office and
the New Mexico State Police responded to the incident Tuesday night
and helped to process the crime scene.

Thoreau dominates Tohatchi to advance
Carrie Loretto
Sports Editor
THOREAU Then there were three.
The Thoreau Lady Hawks, the third seed from District 1AAA, dominated
Tohatchi to advance into the semifinals of the district tournament
with a 73-43 victory over the Lady Cougars Wednesday night.
Thoreau will play at Wingate tonight at 6 p.m. with the winner advancing
to Friday's district championship. Tonight's winner will also gain
a berth to next week's regional tournament. "It's gonna be a
good game,"Thoreau coach Jori Flom said about to
night's matchup against Wingate which swept the Lady Hawks during
the regular season."I feel like my girls are ready, I don't think
we were mentally prepared before when we played them and I feel that
we're a lot more solid mentally."
The Hawks recovered from a slow start to turn a two-point contest
into a rout. Tohatchi had taken advantage of the Hawk defense, penetrating
it to draw a pair of fouls to take a 4-3 lead before Thoreau's pressure
defense keyed a 6-0 spurt to give the Hawks a 9-4 advantage. Rolanda
Etsitty weaved her way through Thoreau's defense once more to make
it 9-6, but Tohatchi answered immediately with Kaytaundra Francisco
as sisting Cindy Morgan for a bucket. Tohatchi still trailed by only
two,
11-9, after a four free throws from Tanisha Bitsoi with 2:43 left
in the opening quarter.
However, Thoreau's offense began to click and the Hawks went on a
12-2 tear to close out the period with a 23-11 advantage. Casandra
Ping and Lisa Ramone ignited the run with a pair of three-point plays,
Ping converting a free throw after getting fouled on a basket and
Ra mone following with a trey.
Morgan assisted Crystal Martinez for Thoreau's next score, Martinez
connected with a driving Francisco and Francisco got the ball inside
to Ping to put the Hawks up 23-10.
Rolanda Etsitty made 2-of-4 free throws for Tohatchi during the run.
"The thing of it is, Thoreau wasn't doing what they were supposed
to be doing, last time they were solid,"Tohatchi coach Fern Spencer
said."We just couldn't get into the momentum and start playing.
Free throws were a factor too, we couldn't make them, none of our
buckets went in, there was no offense out there, we were just out
there throwing the ball and when you play like that, there's no way
in the world you can recover from
that."
Nine-of-12 free throw shooting in the opening period kept Tohatchi
close early, but the Lady Cougars made only 1-of-23 shots from the
field in the first half. Additionally, Tohatchi cooled off at the
free throw line making only 3-of-8 in the second quarter as Thoreau
pulled out to a thirty-point cushion.
Ping scored six, Candace Begay made 5-of-6 free throws and Ramone
was 4-for-4 from the line in the second period for Thoreau.
Tohatchi's scoreless drought continued into the third quarter until
Geraldine John scored on a putback off the offensive boards 1:48 into
the period. But although the Cougars cut down on their turnovers in
the second half, Thoreau continued to pull away.
For the game, Tohatchi shot just 22 percent (12-of-54) from the field
and 50 percent (16-of-32) from rhe foul line. Thoreau's strong inside
game produced a 50 percent (32-of-64) field goal shooting performance.
They also made 17-of-23 (74 percent) free throws.
Ping led all scorers with 19 points and also grabbed 13 rebounds.
Morgan finished with 13 points and three assists and Begay contributed
11 points.
For Tohatchi, Bitsoi was the only player in double figures with 15
points She also grabbed seven rebounds. "I think all in all,
we had five wins, we had a tough schedule, the girls you gotta give
them credit for staying with the program and doing as well as they
did to their capability,"Spencer said summing up the season."I'm
looking foward to next year, the other kids are looking fo
ward to next year so we'll just have to see what happens."
Tohatchi will graduate eight seniors, including three starters.
All four North teams advance
Santiago Ramos
Staff Sports Writer
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. There's talk of simply renaming the Class
3A state tournament the 3A North state tournament.
For the second consecutive year, all four North girls teams not only
advanced to the Final Four but all four are the same teams that played
at the America West Arena last year.
North's top seed Tuba City, the defending state champion, had the
toughest time advancing Wednesday during the Class 3A state quarterfinals
before holding off Seton Catholic 50-41 by sinking 8-of-8 free throws
in the final 50 seconds. Winslow, the state runnerup the last two
years, downed Wickenburg 67-45. Ganado, the North's No. 3 seed, whipped
Chino Valley, 53-32 and Monument Valley, the North's No. 4 seed, routed
Globe 67-48.
In the girls state semifinals that will be held next Friday, Feb.
23 at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., Winslow (23-5) will
be pitted against Ganado (20-10) in one semifinal at 3:15 p.m. while
Tuba City (28-3) will go up against Monument Valley (26-7) in the
other semifinal at 6:45 p.m. The girls state finals are set for Saturday,
Feb. 24 at 2 p.m.
Tuba City 50, Seton Catholic 41
Clutch free throw shooting in the final 50 seconds made up for miserable
second half shooting and saved defending state champion Tuba City
from being eliminated in the state quarterfinals.
"We couldn't hit the side of a barn," Tuba City coach Tamrya
Rogers said. "Seton had a big lineup so it was tough to play
them.
But I wanted a close game before we have to go to state."
A key turnaround jump shot by senior post Amy North, last year's Conference
Player of the Year, with 1:25 left in the game was Tuba City's lone
field goal in the fourth period.
"When Amy (North) hit one that was huge," Rogers said of
her team's lone field goal in the fourth period and just the third
goal in the second half.
Senior forward Leighia Daw sank four free throws in a row that gave
the Lady Warriors some breathing room at 46-39.
Seton Catholic responded with a pair of free throws by Maggie Mitchell.
But the Lady Warriors sealed the victory as sophomore guard Nicole
Tsingine and junior guard Jayme Lomakema each sank a pair of free
throws that made the final score, 50-41.
Tuba City played aggressively in the opening period, going to the
hoop, going after the steals and putting the clamps on Seton Catholic
defensively. The Lady Warriors led 18-11 after the opening period,
30-25 at intermission.
Seton Catholic slipped into the lead for the first time since the
opening minute after an inside score by sophomore post Alana Wirth
late in the third period. The game was tied for the final time at
39-all in the fourth period before Daw sank a free throw and North
nailed her turnaround jumper for a three-point Tuba City lead.
Tuba City shot a miserable 29 percent, 14-of-49 while Seton Catholic
shot 39 percent, 16-of-41. The Lady Warriors 0-of-8 from three-point
range.
Tuba City was nearly flawless on the court with just two turnovers
with Seton with 18.
The Lady Warriors sank 22-of-26 free throws while the Lady Sentinels
were 8-of-12.
Tuba City had senior guard Tammy Secody, the Conference Player of
the Year two years ago, score 12 points while Amy North chipped in
10. Jayme Lomakema added nine and Leighia Daw had seven.
Seton's lone double digit scorer was Jamie Callahan with 12 points.
Winslow 67, Fountain Hills 45
Winslow outscored Fountain Hills, the West's top team, 25-13 in the
fourth period to pull away for a 22-point win.
Francine McCurtain, the 3A North Player of the Year, poured in 28
points along with three treys while Faith Carpenter chipped in 12
points.
Fountain Hills was paced by Andrea Smith and Neykomas Kill with 11
and 10 points respectively.
Ganado 53, Chino Valley 32
Ganado is returning to its second consecutive Final Four under coach
Gwynn Grant and a rematch with Winslow, which has beaten Ganado twice
this year.
"We're real excited about it,"coach Grant said. "We're
looking forward to playing them again."
Senior post Melissa Jones led the Lady Hornets with a game-high 26
points.
"We go to her a lot when we want to establish an inside game,"
Grant said. "When they collapse on Melissa (Jones) I have other
shooters outside."
With treys by Jolene Benally and Kendralyn James to close out the
opening period, Ganado grabbed a 17-6 cushion.
The Lady Hornets doubled their advantage at 22-11 after a pair of
free throws by Jones before Connie Ambrose nailed a last-second trey
to end the first half with Ganado leading 27-15.
The Lady Hornets pushed their lead to 24 points, 53-29 on a trey by
Mary Shirley before settling for a 21-point margin, 53-32.
Ganado shot 35 percent, 15-of-43 while Chino Valley shot 33 percent,
10-of-30.
Ganado was near perfect at the line, sinking 19-of-22 free throws
while Chino sank just 9-of-24.
Melissa Jones poured in 26 points with Jolene Benally with seven points
for the Lady Hornets.
Chino Valley, the No. 4 team from the West, had Jodie Denike with
10 points.
Monument Valley 67, Globe 48
After a sluggish start the Monument Valley Lady Mustangs made it look
relatively easy disposing of Globe, the No. 2 team from the South,
and advancing to their 10th trip to the Final Four in the last 11
years.
"We played a rough game last night and we had to play an early
game today," Monument Valley coach Robert Nash said. "But
once we got it rolling there was no turning back."
Coach Nash said he is looking forward to advancing to the Final Four
and the state semifinals in light of securing the conference's lowest
seed (No. 4) for the Sweet 16 field.
"You always have to be pleased when you make it to the Final
Four because you have to win every game," said Nash whose teams
have won one state title along with four state runnersups in five
state finals. "We might have had some bad breaks at regionals.
Now we have to go home and and be ready. I have to get my kids over
their colds. It will take a lot of work and preparation."
After leading 18-15, the Lady Mustangs outscored the Lady Tigers 21-7
in the second period to grab a 39-22 lead, capitalizing on five steals
in the period.
Monument Valley pushed its lead to 30 points, 61-31, in the third
period, its largest of the game, on a score by senior guard-forward
Lorena Sullivan, who finished with 17 points. Globe closed the gap
down the stretch by sinking 7-of-10 free throws.
Monument Valley's Lorena Sullivan led the way once again with 17 points
and four treys while Sukki Littleben added 13.
Globe was paced by Brandi Steinke with 19 and Anissa Jonovich with
10.

Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK A union local's business manager on Wednesday contradicted
statements a group of resigned officers made to a Navajo Nation Council
committee Monday.
According to Laborers International Union of North America Local 1376

Milan mom, girl help dying man
Tara Drolma
Staff Writer
MILAN When someone shot Christopher Pervorse, Christine Alvarado
and her 11-year-old daughter Marie didn't even hear the shots, but
they were emotionally wounded just the same.
By the time the murderer dumped Pervorse in the parking lot of the
Cross Roads Motel, the wounded man already was dying.
Alvarado, manager of the tidy and well-kept motel, and her daughter
ran to help Pervorse as the suspect drove off.
Pervorse was bleeding profusely and was in a great deal of pain.
On Wednesday, when Alvarado learned he had died, she broke down.
"He held my hand saying, 'I'm not going to die, I don't want
to die,' and I said, 'You won't die. Just hang on.'" She said
Pervorse passed out shortly afterward and the last thing she heard
him do as the EMTs put him into the ambulance was to call for his
mother...
