ALBUQUERQUE Up and down the ballot, candi- dates on both sides of the aisle who are running for everything from New top political post to leg- islative and judicial seats are capitalizing on the long- festering issue of crime as they hope to win over un- decided voters in the sprint to Election Day.

New Mexico, crime is out of U.S. Con- gressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Pearce declared during a news conference Tues- day. With the leader of the largest police union in the state and other law enforcement stand- ing at his side, Pearce said if elected he would form a task force of local, state and federal agencies with the aim of establishing a more coordinated response. Pearce said crimes against women are among the worst and that he would appoint lieutenant governor candidate Michelle Garcia Holmes to head the because she has three decades of experience as a law enforcement including working cases in one of most crime-ridden neighborhoods. Pearce has the endorsement of the Albuquerque police union along with 21 from around the state.

Democratic challenger Michelle Lujan Grisham also has highlighted crime as an issue, calling for a crackdown on violence with a focus on repeat ers and keeping those in jail who are determined to be most dangerous. Albuquerque has made headlines in recent years for its high rates of crime and a rash of cases involv- ing children. But some of the and attorneys supporting Pearce said New rural depart- ments have had to grapple with their own share of cases. That includes Cibola County, where the leader of a paramilitary religious sect was recently convicted in a child sex abuse case, and far northern New Mexico, where Taos County authori- ties raided a ramshackle compound last summer and discovered the remains of a young boy who had been dead for months. Pearce said he wants to create a of sorts in one location with for local authorities as well as the U.S.

Justice Department and FBI. While New next governor and the Legis- lature will have a budget surplus to work with as they set spending priorities, Pearce said Tuesday it will take more than money to the crime problems. In Albuquerque, announced this week that a new leadership council of law enforcement, government, researchers and community groups will be established with the help of a $1 million grant from the federal government. The council will focus on the southeast part of the city. Candidates focus on crime as Election Day draws near ASSOCIATED PRESS Community members are asked for input on six basic categories of aerial adventure parks, including ziplines, challenge courses, bridges and outdoor classrooms.

There are already several aerial adventure parks in New Mexico and Colorado, including ziplines in Du- rango, Colorado. There is also an aerial adventure park being built near Taos, as well as one at the Red River Ski Area. San Juan College also has a challenge course. Bell said the study will include a competitive analysis to determine going to make this park at Lake Farmington the one to go Bell said it is unlikely that a zipline would be built crossing the lake because it would require a 250-foot tower, which would use up most of the money the city is considering spending for the project. However, Bell said the zipline can still go across water.

The people who attended the meeting favored combining ziplines with other features, such as chal- lenge courses. The aerial adventure park is intended to expand the activities available at the lake and to draw visitors to Farmington. this is an economic development Bell said. will make money for the Hannah Grover covers government for The Daily Times.

HANNAH DAILY TIMES Park Continued from Page 1A SANTA FE A proposed constitutional amend- ment on New Mexico ballots this year is seeking to bring the state court system one step closer toward streamlining the appeals process for some low-level cases. The proposal before voters is supported by mem- bers of the state judiciary. While it seeks to change an obscure segment of state law, supporters say it could result in notable savings in both cost and time for busy courthouses, like those in Bernalillo County, which includes Albuquerque. The amendment proposes allowing lawmakers to begin reviewing the appeals court process for cases that originate in probate and magistrate courts, as well as the Metropolitan Court in Bernalillo County. After hearings, debate and analysis, lawmakers could then vote to decide whether the requests for the lower-level cases to be overturned or retried should be allowed to proceed directly to the New Mexico Court of Appeals.

Right now, the framework of the appeals process charted out in New constitution requires appeals for probate and magistrate court cases to go before a district court judge. Both chambers of the state Legislature this year voted with nearly unanimous approval to place the constitutional amendment on ballots. a change could save taxpayers the costs of prosecutors, public defenders, judges and court who must dedicate time and resources to each step of what can be multiple levels of judicial review in the current appeals said former New Mexico Supreme Court Justice Edward Chavez, who retired in March. He noted that if approved, the amendment change would not actually result in a revamped appeals process for the state. It would simply allow lawmak- ers to begin reviewing that process and decide whether to alter it.

In New Mexico, cases that originate in probate and magistrate courts can stem from misdemeanor DWI and domestic violence cases, and other types of low- level criminal charges. Proceedings for civil cases seeking small judg- ments also begin in probate and magistrate courts. Meanwhile, felony trials are handled in district court, along with civil cases with larger claims. Proposal seeks to open the door for state court changes ASSOCIATED PRESS.
