Group protests 'abuse of power' by schools
Andrea Egger
Staff Writer
GALLUP — A handful of people from the National Native American
Youth Coalition protested a variety of issues in front of the
Gallup-McKinley County Schools administration building Tuesday.
The main concern for the coalition was a November incident in
which a Tohatchi High School teacher allegedly choked a student,
said Valerie Walker, president of the coalition. Angering residents
is the fact that the student got expelled but the teacher is still
working, Walker said.
An article about the choking incident in the Monday Independent
sparked the demonstration.
"For a teacher to do that, that's not right," Walker
said."The administrators follow policy when they want to."
A variety of signs decorated the fence across the street from
the administration building. The demonstrators also had American
and a Navajo Nation flags hanging. Some demonstrators carried
smaller American flags.
Some signs called for better school administrators; one sign called
the administrators "hot heads."
Coalition member Nicole Brown protested continued abuse and harassment
of teachers at Tohatchi High School. She said in a written statement
that in 1999, her daughter, Cynthia Grayce Walker, filed a tribal
police report for harassment against Fern Spencer, who is the
athletic director, coach and teacher at Tohatchi High.
Spencer harassed, intimidated and ridiculed Cynthia and has done
this to other students. Nothing came of the situation, Brown said.
"I just wonder whether Robert Gomez is going to do something,"
Brown said. "It's an ancient old problem of abuse of power."
A paper Valerie Walker issued states that the Native American
Youth Coalition was formed "because of injustices inflicted
by adults daily."
"Gallup McKinley County Superintendent Robert Gomez, when
are you going to listen to the voice of the people?" Walker
asks in the written statement. "Anyone can hear, but it takes
a successful leader to listen. Gallup-McKinley County School Administration
is receiving pressure from the community because they will not
work with our students, parents and teachers."
Disciplinary policies with students should be similar for similar
infractions, Walker charged in the statement. Similarly,
disciplinary policies should be upheld for teachers, she said.
"Let's prevent another Columbine massacre," Walker wrote,
referring to the incident two years ago in Littleton, Colo., where
students with handguns took over the school and shot teachers
and other students.
"Physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated from school
administrators, coaches or teachers. We are protesting against
the incident at Tohatchi High School," Walker wrote, referring
to the choking incident.
"We want answers as to why do our students drop out or get
suspended as a result of disciplinary action. Why always the Native
American students?" Walker asked.
Walker asked for statistics on disciplinary action of Indian students
as opposed to non-Indian students.
The protesters also wanted to know why school policy is different
at Tohatchi High School than at Gallup High.
The protesters also held signs in favor of school board member
Bill Bright and former school board candidate Marty Esquibel.
Both are involved in Citizens For Better Schools, a group formed
two months ago to address problems in the schools.
The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. Thursday at the First United
Methodist Church on Nizhoni. Brown said Esquibel has been attending
the meetings, and Bright is on a committee to review the Gallup-McKinley
County Schools' disciplinary policy.
Discipline an issue
Discipline is the first issue Citizens For Better Schools is tackling.
Sherelle Walker, 16, a Gallup High School student, carried a sign
that said, "Excellent Teachers Deserve Our Best." She
said the school district does have some good teachers.
"We want to keep them. But we don't want to have our students
threatened by teachers," Sherelle Walker said.
Five-year-old Stephanie Walker held an American flag while she
sat on the ground, underneath her mother, Cheryl Walker-Charles.
"Teachers are being mean to kids," the little girl answered
when asked why she was there holding a flag.
Regarding the Tohatchi alleged choking incident, school personnel
director Paula Garcia said the matter was investigated in November.
She added she cannot comment on any personnel action taken against
the teacher.
Concerning discipline procedures for students, Assistant Superintendent
Angelo DiPaolo said all students are subjected to the same policy,
but different penalties would be dished out to students based
on how many infractions, if any, they have in the past.
For instance, two students who get into a fight will be disciplined
in different manners if the fight is the first infraction for
one student but the second for the other student.
He added that no one has ever brought in a racial complaint to
the schools and complaint forms are available at all schools.
In a district like McKinley County's, where 80 percent of students
are Indian, it's logical that a lot of students disciplined will
be Indian.
"There's more of them," DiPaolo said.
"If there's an issue of race, we need to hear about it,"
he said.
Complaint forms turned in at any school are immediately forwarded
to Gomez's office, where Gomez determines who will investigate
the incident. All complaints are looked into, DiPaolo said.
"Parents are not too happy with the results sometimes. It
can take a long time," DiPaolo said.
DiPaolo added that in the school board meeting Monday at Navajo
Pine High School, Gomez told the group that the Tohatchi incident
is being investigated, and that school policy is being followed.
Concerning differences in policy at Tohatchi versus Gallup high
schools, DiPaolo said schools all follow the same policy. But
discipline is often left to principals' discretion.
Students can have in-school suspension, home suspension and can
be assigned to do community service as penalties. Some schools
don't have in-school suspension, so they have to use other forms
of punishment.
"We come under criticism for this," he said.
Register to vote
Besides schools, the protesters also carried signs regarding tribal
issues, with the primary goal of getting people registered to
vote.
"In a lot of tribal issues, they're not going with the will
of the people. Our votes don't concern them," Ken Brown said
of the tribal council. "They take their power and use it
to their own personal gain."
The tribal council recently voted itself a pay increase of $10,000.
The people wanted the number of council delegates to be reduced
from 88 delegates to 24, but they lost that vote.
Water rights, the Navajo/Hopi land dispute, and veterans' assistance
concerned Ken Brown and others.
His wife, Nicole Brown, said the peaceful demonstration was also
an awareness campaign for people to vote and take part in school
and tribal issues.
"We try to promote a lot of good things for our community,"
Brown said.

'Last chance' teens advised to stay sober
Editor's note: A future story will look at an exhibit
on display by disabled Navajo artists.
Larry Di Giovanni
Staff Writer
FORT WINGATE — Use of their lower limbs was taken from them in
tragic twists of fate, but their inner drives what they expect of
themselves has seen personal achievements soar to new heights.
A trio of spinal-cord injury survivalists told a group of 15 Wingate
High School students that life isn't about what's fair. It's about
taking what control you do have and making a difference that benefits
others.
The small Navajo nonprofit group, whose five members call their mission
"Iinah Iliih," the Precious Life Project, is just getting
started. Tuesday afternoon's visit to Opportunity School students
at Fort Wingate offered Iinah Iliih only its second public speaking
engagement.
Group member Amerson Dayea knows about spinning a tragic turn in life
into a positive outlook. In 1985, on the way to Window Rock from Phoenix,
he and a few friends had some beers on their road trip. Dayea doesn't
remember what happened after the group bought gas in Greasewood. He
woke up in a hospital, eight days later, a paraplegic.
Learning to live with a disability such as paraplegia is a severe
challenge, even with a supportive family involved, he said. Dayea
is meeting the challenge by being as active and proactive as he can.
Dayea has helped coordinate a "hand cycling" event from
Flagstaff to Window Rock. He's also a budding graphic designer taking
classes at the University of New Mexico-Gallup.
"Back then I didn't have goals in my life; now, I have goals
in my life," Dayea said. "That's what keeps you on the right
track. You have to work at it."
Getting through
The target audience for Dayea and his fellow Iinah Iliih members was
a group of 15 freshmen, given their "last chance" to advance
to their sophomore year. This year's Opportunity School program started
the year with 43 students, but through a combination of drug abuse
incidents and transfers, the number has been whittled by 28, said
David Garza, Opportunity School coordinator.
He referred to the group as "extremely" high risk.
"As a staff we're here to help them get through to the next level,
not to see them get kicked out," Garza said.
Opportunity School students live on a section of the Wingate campus
called "Dorm 13."
Fate revisited
The purpose of Iinah Iliih's trip to Fort Wingate High was to describe
the manner in which members' spinal cord injuries occurred, and what
might have been done to prevent those injuries. The three who offered
their insights were: Dayea, who's from Houck, Ariz.; Cecelia Fred
of Gallup; and Doris Dennison of Naschitti.
The three who spoke use wheelchairs. Two other members are Jennifer
Chischilly of Mexican Springs, who discusses living with diabetes,
and Peterson Yazzie of Gallup.
Iinah Iliih has received funding through a $20,000 Injury Prevention
Grant. The grant comes from Indian Health Service's Gallup Indian
Medical Center. Group members were accompanied Tuesday by Jodee Dennison,
an IHS injury prevention specialist, and Antonita Nunes, environmental
health specialist.
Fred said being part of Iinah Iliih has helped solidify a long-term
goal of opening a center for the physically disabled.
"We're working on it, the five of us," she said.
Iinah Iliih will use its grant not only to conduct presentations at
Navajo Chapter houses, schools, detention centers, and other locations,
but also to develop a computer database for spinal cord and severe
head injuries.
No database, though, can reflect the human aspects of daily life as
a physically disabled person bound to a wheelchair. Fred and her fellow
Iinah Iliih members are ready to meet that public awareness challenge
head on, and that means getting personal. It also means reliving a
very painful past.
"You guys are lucky to be an able-bodied person," Fred told
the students.
She wasn't nearly so lucky. When Fred was 6, a freak accident occurred
that involved a firearm. She was on a bed, tending to her young nephew.
In a nearby room, her uncle was cleaning a rifle. The gun discharged,
sending a bullet through a wall and into her shoulder. It traveled
to her spine.
Fred has rods and screws in her back, and survived two major surgeries
as well as scoliosis. When the weather grows cold, it is difficult
for her to move.
She spent several years into her early teens at a rehabilitation center
in Denver.
"I didn't get to grow up with other kids," Fred said. "I
was mostly in the hospital."
Don't waste yourselves
Iinah Iliih members make a point not to be judgmental of others. Fred
did ask the 15 Wingate freshmen how many have consumed alcohol, and
used marijuana and cocaine. A show of hands made it clear that the
students have struggled in their early lives to be clean and sober.
"Why would you want to waste your mind on alcohol ... when you
have a perfect body you can walk around in?" she asked.
Fred emphasized that time moves forward quickly during youth and once
it's lost, without opportunity, the only thing left is regret. She
urged students to "make something out of yourselves."
Dennison, the last speaker, has used a wheelchair the past 15 years.
She lost a child, and the use of her legs, during an accident in which
a sister was driving the vehicle. She wasn't fastened in a seat belt,
the importance of which is a major part of her message.
Diagnosed as a quadriplegic, Dennison initially could not breathe
on her own. She could not move her upper or lower extremities at all,
but has progressed far enough to move her arms and hands, though to
a limited degree. She can use both hands but not her fingers to pick
up a can of pop.
Life is a daily toil for any wheelchair user who cannot use his legs,
she said. It takes two hours to get ready for any trip.
Getting in and out of a vehicle is a struggle. A wheelchair user must
shift his or her weight constantly to avoid developing sores. The
aid of another is needed to use the restroom, or to get dressed.
"Your modesty goes," Dennison said. "That's where family
comes in."

Milan man charged with possessing crack
cocaine
Tara Drolma
Staff Writer
MILAN — Milan police officers seized 13.5 ounces of crack cocaine
from a local man just before 7 p.m. Monday.
Officers arrested Gilbert "Tony" Chacon, 25, on charges
of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute
and tampering with evidence.
About 6:51 p.m. Officer Pat Salizar received a call from the New Mexico
State Police saying they had information from an anonymous caller
that Chacon was about to receive a large amount of drugs at his home.
According to the police report, Salizar called members of the Region
II Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, a state police officer, and Chacon's
probation officer Kelly Eck to assist with the arrest.
The officers went to the Chacon residence where they found him working
on his car. When Eck approached Chacon, he turned and ran to the back
of the house. Chacon disappeared briefly behind the house. When he
realized he was being pursued by the officers, he came back to the
front of the house.
Suspicious of what was behind the house, Salizar walked back to the
area where Chacon had been. He noticed a yellow bottle marked STAT
Emergency Flush sitting in plain view. Inside the bottle Salizar found
71 rocks of crack cocaine.
After the arrest officers used a K-9 unit to search the yard, but
they did not find any more narcotics. Eck searched the inside of the
home where Chacon's wife and young child were, but she did not find
anything.
The substance later tested positive for cocaine.
Stolen vehicle
Officer Adrian Molina recovered a stolen vehicle on May 3. A worker
for the City of Milan reported an abandoned Cadillac with Texas license
plate in the ditch at the end of Uranium Street.
Molina noticed the driver's window was broken and the locks on the
door had been removed. The left side of the steering column was damaged
and the right front end looked as though it had run into a rock. He
checked with dispatch and found out the vehicle had been stolen in
Albuquerque on May 2.
The owner of the car, Anthony Soria, said a set of Senior golf clubs,
a portable battery and a garage opener were also taken from the car.
Other incidents
Virginia Martinez, 42, of Prewitt, was arrested May 5 for driving
with a revoked license.
Freddie Yazzi, 36, of Prewitt was given a non-traffic citation May
5 for being a public nusiance. Yazzi was harassing customers at the
Milan Supermart for money and a ride, police said.
Francisco Everhart, 46, of Bluewater was with Yazzi at the Milan Supermart
at the time. He was arrested on two outstanding warrants.

First-year Shiprock girls team brings
back state title
N.M. State Golf Tournament
Michael Peretti
Staff Sports Writer
ALBUQUERQUE — The Shiprock Lady Chieftains are the champions,
the Grants boys just missed and the Kirtland girls just wanted to
have fun.
That was how the final day of the New Mexico state golf tournament
at the Isleta Eagle Golf Course went.
The Lady Chieftains, a team for about a month, won the AAA girls state
championship convincingly with a two day total of 746, 41 strokes
ahead of second place Socorro (787).
The Grants boys went into the day four strokes behind Ruidoso, and
finished with a second day low of 310. However, Ruidoso eeked out
the title by one stroke, 618 to 617.
The Kirtland girls came into the second day 47 strokes out of the
lead and just wanted to have fun. The Kirtland boys used the state
tournament as a stepping stone on their way to building a succesful
golf program.
"The girls did great again," said Shiprock head coach Kevin
Holman. "We played pretty consistant golf."
Holman said that it felt good to bring home the school's first blue
trophy of the season. He also said that though the school had success
in the spring sports winning the golf tournament and with their softball
in the state semifinals and although they did not make it to state
in their most noteable sport, basketball, Shiprock is a well rounded
school.
"Every one of our sports this year, we were the district champs,"
he noted. "We have some really good kids that work hard. The
coaches all put in long hours and the parents care and work to get
the kids to practice."
Deanna Harvey and Glynnis Price turned in All-State performances,
finishing among the top ten individuals, to lead the Lady Chieftains'
state title run.
Harvey shot a two day total of 152 for third and Price finished in
sixth with a 170 total.
"I did okay. I could have done better," said Harvey. "I
did not do as good as I did yesterday (Monday)."
Overall, Harvey said that she thinks the Lady Chieftains did very
well. "It was kind of unexpected. A lot of people from around
the area didn't even know we had a golf team."
Price said that that she did not shoot as well as the first day either.
"It was good experience for me, I still have four more years
to go," the eighth grader said.
Tisharee Begaye, who shot a two-day total of 198 said that she improved
a lot from the first day. "I thought it would be more challenging,"
she said. "The competition was tough, but it was pretty much
like any other tournament."
Lisa Begaye, who shot a 216 two-day total may have come the farthest
this season. "I think I did very well for one month of playing
golf," she said. "I started playing golf about a month ago."
Grants head coach Tom Spears said that his team has come a long way
this year as well.
"The boys had two very solid days of golf," he said. "We
played very good golf. We didn't lose it, we got beat."
Spears said that the Pirates' progress showed in their score, saying
that their 618 was good enough to beat several of the bigger schools
at the tournament.
"We didn't even make state last year and then came in this year
and took second, that's pretty good," he said.
Dominic Chavez, who shot a team low 151 along with Jeremy Pena said
that he thought he played well.
"I played real strong on the front nine and then got into some
trouble on the back," he said. "I could have done better
but I did alright."
Chavez said that the Pirates did better than anyone expected this
year. "No one thought we could cut it except our parents and
coaches," he said.
Pena shot a 151 and said he thought he could have done better.
"It was not what I wanted to do," he said. "I finished
strong, but had problems."
The Kirtland Lady Broncos went into the second day of competition
47 strokes behing AAAA power Goddard and did not have much chance
of catching them, so they went in to have fun.
"It was exciting today," said senior Melanie Smacka, who
shot a two-day total of 170. "Anybody can shoot a little better,
but today everybody came out and just had a blast."
Smaka said that she thought the Lady Broncos had the most fun out
of all of the teams at the tournament even though they took third.
"We just wanted a trophy for the third year in a row and to have
one of each color is pretty cool too."
Heather Woods, who shot a 171, said she had fun as well.
"We all played our hardest," she said. "For the four
graduating (seniors) to come out one more time and to have fun was
a good thing."
Kirtland head coach Chuck Soria said that his teams did very good.
"We came into state feeling pretty good," he said. "With
the new class move we didn't know what to expect. We knew Goddard
was tough, at the state tournament it is the best against the best."
Soria said that he was proud of the team's finish. He said that next
year will be a rebuilding year, but that he has a good JV team that
should fare pretty well.
Soria also said that he was proud of his young boys team, and that
they will be back next year.
"It was a good learning expierience," he said. "We
will be looking foreward to coming back the next couple of years if
not more."
"We did pretty good," said Bronco Stanford Teller. "The
team kind of struggled today though."
Teller shot a 159 and said that he thought it was a good learning
experience and that he is looking forward to doing better next year.
"We will have more experience and have an advantage and should
play better next year."
Brent Harrison, who shot a 166 said he has come pretty far this year.
"I am looking foreward to next year so I can see what I can do,"
he said.
Goddard won the AAAA boys title with a 614 score and Chris Schjetnan
of Goddard tied with Capitals' Marcus Martinez for first place, both
with 147s. Schjetnan won the one hole playoff to take the individual
award.
In the AAAA girls competition, Academy's January Romero took top honors
with a 146, one better than Goddard's Kelli Van Winkle.

Ringleaders won't return to Grants
Tom Purdom
Staff Writer
GRANTS — The ringleaders of a disturbance last month at the Western
New Mexico Correctional Facility won't be returning to Grants.
Of the 63 inmates in S-Unit the site of the disturbance at least 22
are known to be ringleaders in the uprising. State police are preparing
charges against them and their status is being upgraded to a more
strict security level, which means they won't return to Grants.
The facility is minimum security.
In the meantime, not quite two weeks after the uprising, prison officials
in Santa Fe still do not know how much it will cost to

Chee headed for Scottsdale
Santiago Ramos
Staff Sports Writer
FORT DEFIANCE, Ariz. — Window Rock senior point guard Andrian
Chee signed a letter of intent Tuesday to play for Scottsdale Community
College this fall, following in the footsteps of former Window Rock
standouts Ryneldi Becenti and Kim Ashley.
"I wanted to play basketball," the 5-foot-6 Chee said. "I'm
really excited about playing college ball. I'm ready for the challenge.
I'm ready for it and I hope to do good. Hopefully after Scottsdale
maybe I can play Division I."
Chee started for the Lady Scouts the past three seasons as a point
guard and shooting guard. Her freshman year she was moved up from
the JV to the varsity. This past season Window Rock failed to make
the state playoffs, losing to Ganado for the final spot for regionals
and state.
"During my sophomore year Jimmy Skeet started me and it was one
of my best seasons," Chee said. "We went to the state quartefinals
before we lost to Snowflake..."

City's oldest cemetery to get another clean-up
Bill Donovan
Staff Writer
GALLUP — Volunteers will be picking up bottles and trash, circa
2000, from among the gravestones, circa 1900, at Gallup's oldest
cemetery Saturday.
This is the second year that the Plateau Science Society, with the
help of the city, has sponsored a major clean-up of the Hillside
Cemetery at the end of North Fifth Street.
Assisting in the efforts this year will be a youth group from the
Mormon Church and various other volunteers. The clean-up effort
is scheduled to go from 10 a.m. to about 2 p.m.
Hillside is known by many old-timers as the Chinese Cemetery, because
of the belief that a number of the Chinese residents from the turn
of the century are buried there. However, local historian Octavia
Fellin said that her research indicates that the graves thought
to be Chinese were more than likely Japanese...

Tribal cops lauded for muzzling gang
Jim Maniaci
Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK — Three years ago Navajo police, the FBI and the
U.S. Attorney General's Office broke up the Fort Defiance-based
Cobra gang responsible for almost a half-dozen murders and maimings.
Federal judges sentenced the leaders for their crimes, effectively
removing them from on-site command of a criminal element such as
the reservation had never seen before.
Now the gang's members whom authorities nicknamed "rugrats"
are a few years older and think they can move up to fill the vacated
leadership positions.
But the Window Rock Law Enforcement and Criminal Investigation Districts,
augmented by the FBI, have identified and targeted up to 20 of the
would-be bully-leaders. So far police have managed to keep the lid
on most serious violence from rearing its head once again in a formerly-terrorized
community...

Tribal panel tables leaky tanks funding
Jim Maniaci
Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK — The Budget-Finance Committee resisted "L.U.S.T."
Tuesday and declined, at least for a week, to trim the Navajo Nation
General Fund for the coming year to set up a sixth account that
takes its share off the top.
By a 6-0 vote, the Navajo Nation Council's money panel tabled until
next Tuesday shaving $1.4 million from the previously approved $107.392
million base for a sixth special account for the Navajo environment
division to fix "Leaking Underground Storage Tanks."
The 18th Council adopted the law in October 1998, declaring that
for a half-decade half the business site lease revenue would be
reserved for the special account, with the Navajo Environmental
Protection Agency director to distribute the money.
Committee Chairman Lorenzo Bedonie said after the meeting that while
the law established the fund, there is no management plan on how
the money will be spent...
City won't give up Indian Hills strip
Neighbors claim victory
Bill Donovan
Staff Writer
GALLUP — The Gallup City Council turned down a request Tuesday
from Path of Renewal to vacate a small strip of city land near the
organization's property in the Indian Hills subdivision.
The council voted 3-1 with Pat Butler being the lone dissenting
voice to deny the request after an emotional meeting attended by
about 30 members of the subdivision still trying to get the city
to stop the organization from building and renting homes in their
area to recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.
The vote Tuesday, as everyone continued to say throughout the night,
will have little effect on the Path of Renewal's plans.
However, subdivision members said after the meeting that they considered
it a major victory because it put the council on record as opposing
the plans.
At the beginning of the meeting, Dan Kruis, the agent for the organization,
said the Path of Renewal Board has agreed to consider reducing the
number of homes it will build in Indian Hills from the planned three
to only one or two...
