‘PLAY DEAD’ DRAWS ON SEANCES

October 31, 2010

“To support individuals and families challenged by developmental disabilities to discover their unique gifts as they work toward fulfilling their individual life goals and dreams.” So reads Tobosa Developmental Services’ mission statement. Saturday night at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, with honors, food and dancing, the organization celebrated

both the “exemplary services” it offers to further its mission and all of those individuals and organizations that have made its work possible. Joe Madrid, the organization’s executive director, described the annual event as not only an opportunity to recognize outstanding achievement and Tobosa supporters, but also as “a celebration of a year’s worth of work.” Two hundred community members and Tobosa clients, employees and

board of directors came out for the gala. As for those recognized, Kmart, for its help with employment and fundraising, earned the community Supporter of the Year award, while Larry Hobson, who has lent his auctioneering skills to Tobosa raffles, ear ned the Helping Hand award. Employee of the Year was awarded to Brenda Bachman because of her work maintaining jobs for See TOBOSA, Page A9

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The New Mexico Court of Appeals ruled a program intended to speed up the determination of industry, farm and municipal water entitlements is illegal. The appeals court upheld a lower court ruling that the New Mexico Office of State Engineer had overstepped its legal authority with the program. State Engineer John D’Antonio said no decision has been made about whether the state will appeal the decision issued this week. The water rights problem has left a shadow of uncertainty about allocating the scarce resource in arid New Mexico. It can take decades for courts to sort out water rights entitlements in New Mexico river basins. During serious drought, there is no mechanism in many parts
