Bernalillo Council To Look at Law BERNALILLO The Town Council agreed Monday to look at revising its subdivision law because it is outdated. The law, in' place since 1978, does not specify what type of road improvements developers are responsible for, said Councilor Charles Aguilar. "Times have changed a lot" since 1978, he said.

The law will go before the town's Planning and Zoning Commission for review and possible recommendations for the council. In other business, the council agreed to spend about $30,000 to update its telephone system.

The boy in the photograph was believed to be Michael Henley Jr. of Grants who was missing since April 1988. However, police in June 1990 found Henley's body in the Zuni Mountains near Grants, where he had died apparently of exposure while on a hunting trip.

A number of reported sightings of women matching Calico's description have been called in to investigators, but none have led to her, police have said. The family has offered rewards and has mass distributed flyers and information to police departments across the country, but none has resulted in Calico's recovery. Doel said a police chief in Missouri contacted "America's Most Wanted" to do a segment on the missing woman. Doel said she has eluding us, wants to know what happened to Tara Ortega said. "We're still putting pieces of the puzzle together.

I think Tara's family knows that we haven't shut the door on this case."

Footprints led to what might have been the site of a Tara Calico Missing since September 1988 mixed feelings about the latest effort to generate leads. "In some respects, I'm hopeful it will produce more news where possibly we can go out and get her home," she said, adding that she's also afraid Tara's abductor may panic and decide to dispose of her.

Doel said she and her husband recently bought a 1979 gold Porsche 928 because it was Tara's dream car. They plan to give it to her when she comes home, Doel said.
