It was all part of a salute to New Mexico by Stone fourthgraders during their American Education Week performance on Friday. Son says Paterno has treatable lung cancer STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Days after losing the job he held for nearly a half century, former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer. Scott Paterno, the Hall of Fame coach’s son, said in a statement provided Friday to The Associated Press that his father’s doctors are optimistic the 84-year-old Paterno will make a full recovery. The news came shortly after Penn State said the NCAA would look into the school’s handling of a child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Paterno was fired by the board of trustees Nov. 9 for failing to do more an abuse allegation against Sandusky than report it to his superiors.

House says no to mandating balanced federal budget WASHINGTON (AP) — Rejecting the idea Congress can’t control its spending impulses, the House turned back a Republican proposal Friday to amend the Constitution to dam the rising flood of federal red ink. Democrats — and a few GOP lawmakers — said damage from the balanced-budget mandate would outweigh any benefits. The first House vote in 16 years on making federal deficits unconstitutional came as the separate bipartisan “supercommittee” appeared to be sputtering in its attempt to find at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions to head off major automatic cuts. The lead Republican on that panel said members were “painfully, painfully aware” of its Wednesday deadline for action and would work through the weekend. HOBBS SCHOOLS PHOTOS FDA revokes approval of Avastin for breast cancer WASHINGTON (AP) — The government delivered a blow to some desperate patients Friday as it ruled the blockbuster drug Avastin should no longer be used to treat advanced breast cancer. Avastin is hailed for treating colon cancer and certain other malignancies. But the Food and Drug Administration said it appeared to be a false hope for breast cancer: Studies haven’t found that it helps those patients live longer or brings enough other benefit to outweigh its dangerous side effects. Murder from PAGE 1 from some of the wounds on the body. “Based on their location (defensive wounds on the wrists), in this case they could appear to be sharp, as if she was attempting to defend herself from a knife,” Kastenbaum testified. According to the doctor, due to Alvares’ cardiovascular disease, she was unable to recover from the blood loss. “Her body was unable to compensate from the blood loss and her heart was likely unable to function and failed at the time of the blood loss,” Kastenbaum testified. Defense attorney Christopher Harris asked the doctor if one side of the body was more concentrated with wounds, and the doctor responded the left side. Kastenbaum said a knife blade was tangled in the victim’s hair. Corey Helton, a Hobbs Police Department detective, testified he was present when the autopsy was performed. Hobbs Police Department Sgt. Clipper Miller testified he was called to 109 E. Temple for a welfare check and detected an unusual odor when he arrived at the residence. Miller testified he entered the residence through a rear glass sliding door and the odor became stronger. He said he noticed the temperature inside the home was unusually cold. He said after looking inside the home for Alvarez, the odor was stronger in a northeast bedroom, where the body was found on a love seat wrapped in bedding. “WE UNWRAPPED JUST a bit and we saw a foot with nylon stockings covering it,” Miller said. Omero Chavez, 14, of Hobbs testified he met with the defendant and other friends on Thursday, July 28. He said the defendant picked him up the day after in a brown car he had never seen before. Chavez told the court they went to a bluish house and were there for 15-20 minutes. Stanley Benson, a Hobbs Police Department officer, testified he was contacted by the victim’s sister on Sunday, July 31, at 9:49 p.m. because she hadn’t seen Alvarez at church. Benson said the house was locked and the victim’s sister said Alvarez had probably gone to the store. The police officer told the victim’s sister if she did not hear from her sister to call him back. Benson testified he was noti- fied the victim was still missing after midnight on Aug. 1 and he went back to the residence at 109 E. Temple, where the body was found. He said he noticed an iPod in the driveway as he was walking to the house. Benson testified he saw ice-cream, cookies and tea on the kitchen table and was suspicious since he was told the victim was diabetic. Benson said when the body was found, he reached inside the bedding to check what was in there and touched a foot. Xavier Estrada, 14, of Hobbs testified he knew the defendant and had gone with him to a house he didn’t know. The defendant’s brother, Brian Rivas, testified his older brother and Eric Stevens were planning on robbing an elderly lady a couple of houses from Stevens’ grandmother’s house. The 15-year-old said his brother showed up to their home and told him the car was given to him for work he did for an old lady. The witness also testified his brother told him he had murdered Alvarez, but he didn’t believe him. Hobbs Police Department crime scene technician Brooke Brooks told the court several fingerprints were recovered from the scene and blood was found on the victim’s mattress, headboard, wall and love seat where the body was found. Brooks said the television was on when they arrived at the scene but has said no signal was on the screen. DETECTIVE NATHAN EUBANK testified he interviewed the defendant more than once and the defendant told him he entered the residence by burning the screen and had watched the victim sleep for more than an hour before stabbing her with both a knife and a stick. Eubank said the defendant told him different versions of the events and stated his friend had helped him wrap the body and flip the mattress over so the blood was hidden. Eubank said the victim’s tan Ford Taurus was found with no license plate or keys at Rivas’ residence on the 8100 block of Kornegay. Rivas will be arraigned in district court on Dec. 5 at 9 a.m. on the charges of first degree murder, aggravated burglary using a deadly weapon, tampering with evidence and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. PUBLIC NOTICE (GW-003) Chevron U.S.A. Inc., 1400 Smith Street, Houston, TX 77002, has submitted a renewal application to the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, Oil Conservation Division (OCD) for the previously approved discharge plan (GW-003) for its Eunice South Gas Plant located in the NW/4 of the SW/4 of Section 27, Township 22 South, Range 37 East, NMPM, Lea County, New Mexico. The gas plant is shut down, partially dismantled, and is out of operation with the exception of some compression equipment that is currently operated by Targa Midstream Services on behalf of Versado L.L.P. (a limited partnership between Chevron and Targa). The facility is located approximately 4.5 miles south of Eunice, New Mexico between State Highway 207 (Eunice-Hobbs Highway) and State Highway 18. The average background total dissolved solids concentrations in the direct vicinity of the Site are approximately 1,000-1,300 mg/L. Ground water that may be affected by a spill, leak, or accidental discharge occurs at a depth of approximately 49-54 feet below ground surface, with an average total dissolved solids concentration of approximately 53,000 mg/L. The discharge plan addresses how impacted ground water will be remediated to the standards specified in the Water Quality Control Commission regulations (20.6.2.3103 NMAC) and disposed of and how spills, leaks, and other accidental discharges to the surface will be managed in order to protect fresh water. From 2004-2010, Chevron disposed of recovered chloride impacted ground water into an on-site saltwater disposal well operated by Targa Midstream Services; and recovered hydrocarbon impacted ground water has been stored in onsite storage tanks for offsite disposal. In 2010, operation of the chloride impacted ground water recovery/disposal system was discontinued due to access. Currently, Chevron is in negotiations with area oil & gas operators (i.e. waste disposal facilities, water pipeline consortium) to explore/negotiate viable wastewater disposal options for the volume (approximately 500-600 barrels/day) of wastewater extracted from the chloride recovery system. Any interested person or persons may obtain information, submit comments, or request to be placed on a facility-specific mailing list for future notices by contacting Glen Von Gonten at the New Mexico OCD at 1220 South St. Francis Drive, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505, Telephone (505) 476-3488. The OCD will accept comments and statements of interest regarding the renewal and will create a facility-specific mailing list for persons who wish to receive future notices.
