C4 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Thursday, July 22, 1993 Chamber Board Prefers Private Autos Emissions Plan By Rene Kimball regular meeting Wednesday. City staff members have recommended adopting a centralized program, in which the city would hire a private contractor to run three test stations. That move would do away with the nearly 200 existing stations run by private businesses. The reason for the recommendation, the staff members have said, is that new rules adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the federal Clean Air Act will make it too difficult and expensive to retain the current program.

The county must have an emissions testing program because the air here has a long history of exceeding the federal pollution standard for carbon monoxide. Last year was the first year since the city began keeping records that Albuquerque did not violate that limit But it must have a second consecutive year without any violations before the city can apply to EPA to be reclassified as complying with the carbon monoxide standard. The EPA contends centralized programs do more to clean up air pollution because they are easier to monitor for error and fraud. Owners of private Air Care stations have protested, that position, however, saying there is no real reason to switch and that they will lose their investments in stations and test equipment. In a position paper adopted Wednesday, the Chamber of Commerce board noted Albuquerque and Bernalillo County have made "great strides" in recent years to address the area's air-quality problems.

"We think the move to a centralized program is premature," said Mike Jones, board vice chairman for quality-of-life issues, in a prepared statement. "We've shown as a community that our air-quality efforts are working. Let's give those efforts a chance before we make any sweeping changes." Jones also said the decentralized program is more convenient for consumers. The Chamber board said in its paper that it recognizes the pressure the EPA is exerting by imposing a model that penalizes cities with decentralized programs. But until it becomes evident that the city and county cannot attain the federal air standard for carbon monoxide, the board said it opposes an effort to convert to centralized.

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Albuquerque and Bernalillo County shouldn't dump the existing auto emissions test program in favor of a government-run version, the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors said Wednesday. The Chamber and other members of the public will have a chance Sept. IS to give their positions on the proposed change to local air regulators during a public hearing. The city-county Air Quality Control Board may vote on the issue at that time, or, if too many people turn out to testify in a single session, a second evening of hearings will be held Sept. 22, the board decided at its Drive To Return Arts To Schools Continues i expressed regret for what they called the school board's lack of support for arts.

Sports programs that were similarly threatened were not cut, they said. "We must remember three things," said Gustav Ntiforo, a former elementary school art teacher and an associate professor of art at the University of New Mexico. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease," he said. "In this case, it was those who support sports. Secondly, it's important to get professional art teachers in the schools; and thirdly, we talk about money and politics and not enough about the child and the educational benefits of arts." Tom Dodson, dean of UNM's School of Fine Arts, said he has been on "many ad hoc efforts to bring attention to arts and education.

"Many are short lived and do not lead to substantial change," he said. "The way to turn the situation around and make a difference is to find a stable structure that lends support to improving arts education in the state." By Katherine Saltzstein JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT Musicians, artists, teachers and parents aired their frustrations over the lack of arts education in Albuquerque's elementary schools Wednesday afternoon and pledged to meet again in September. "Our common goal is getting all the arts back in the school, as much as possible, as fast as we can," said Hildreth Barker of the Albuquerque Arts Alliance, who chaired the meeting. Patsy Catlett, president of the Albuquerque Arts Alliance, a nonprofit service and advocacy organization, arranged the meeting. Catlett said she hopes the group will discuss alternative ways to fund an arts program at the next meeting.

The Albuquerque Board of Education voted this spring to kill funds for the 12 remaining art and music teachers who traveled around the city's elementary schools. Several people at the meeting Attacker's Death Shakes Rape Victim By Tamar Stleber JOURNAL NORTHERN BUREAU SANTA FE Ann Ryan said she was both relieved and in turmoil when she learned that the man who kidnapped, robbed and raped her at knifepoint in Albuquerque 10 years ago was found dead Wednesday in his prison cell. A corrections officer at the Penitentiary of New Mexico near Santa Fe discovered 29-year-old Charles Robert Martin dead on the floor of his cell at about 3 a.m., possibly from an overdose of prescription drugs. "I feel relieved because I figure he's not going to get out and do it to someone else," Ryan, 35, said during a telephone interview from her home in Baton Rouge, where she is studying for a masters degree in fine arts. "But it's been a rough afternoon," she said.

"I think part of it is it kind of brings it back it's real, it happened, the guy really did exist" Maj. Lawrence Montoya, head of investigations for the New Mexico State Police, said his division is investigating the death of Martin. Montoya said a State Police agent found a plastic bag in Martin's cell containing prescription-type drugs. The drugs include methocarbamol, a mild muscle relaxant; prednisone, a steroid used to relieve inflammation; acetaminophen, the pain reliever used in Tylenol; and what Montoya said appeared to be nitroglycerin pills, which are used for heart problems.
