ALBANY DEMOCRAT-HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 A7 Chicago teachers agree to return Judge: Police can enforce Arizona 'show paper s' law CHICAGO (AP) -Chicago's teachers agreed Tuesday to return to the classroom after more than a week on the picket lines, ending a spiteful stalemate with Mayor Rahm Emanuel over teacher evaluations and job security, two issues at the heart of ef forts to re -form the nation's public schools. Union delegates voted overwhelmingly to suspend the strike after discussing a proposed contract settlement that had been on the table for days. Classes were to resume Wednesday. Jubilant delegates poured out of a South Side union hall singing "solidarity forever," cheering, honking horns and yelling, "We're going back." Most were eager to get to work and proud of a walkout that yielded results. "I'm very excited.

I miss my students. I'm relieved because I think this contract was better than what they offered," said America Olmedo, who teaches fourth- and fifth-grade bilingual classes. "They tried 1 to take everything away." Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the settlement "an honest compromise" that "means a new day and a new direction for the Chicago public schools." fA A i A AP PhotoRoss D.

PHOENIX (AP)-A judge in Arizona ruled Tuesday that police can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state's immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out the so-called "show me your papers" provision.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement. It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law. Now, with the requirement finally in full effect, both sides are anxious to see the outcome.

The supporters want local police to use it vigorously, but worry federal immigration officials won't respond to calls to come arrest people. "I am mulling what I will do if they don't respond," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who more than any other police boss in tlie state pushed the bounds of immigration enforce -irjent. "I don't feel comfortable letting the illegal alien back on the street." state's immigration woes. J4Only the federal government has the resources and responsibility necessary to achieve that," Brewer said. The law's journey to this point has taken many twists and turns.

Bolton is the judge who initially blocked it after the Obama administration challenged it on tne grounds that federal immigration law trumps state law. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. There, justices barred police from enforcing other parts of the law, including a requirement that immigrants obtain or carry immigration registration papers. But they allowed the questioning requirement to supporters the most important part to move forward.

The latest challenge from a coalition of civil rights, re -ligious and business groups which Bolton denied earlier this month- said Latinos in Arizona would face systematic racial profiling. But Bolton agreed with the state's lawyers that the law's opponents were merely speculating on those claims. She did leave the door open to challenges once the law is in effect, if the claims can be proven.

The law's opponents are spreading out across the state, asking police departments not to enforce the provision.

Doing so could open officers up to lawsuits from people who could claim the agencies aren't'fully enforcing the law. The incentive to not enforcing the law, said Carlos Garcia, an organizer for the Puente Movement: better cooperation of immigrants who would be more likely to report crimes. Arizona's law was passed in 2010 amid voter frustra tion with the state's role as the busiest illegal entry point into the country. Five states Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah have adopted variations on Arizona's law. This section of the law requires that officers, while enforcing other laws, question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally.

The "show me your papers" name comes from opponents. It's a tool for local police, said Republican Gov.

But they'll only send an agent to arrest someone if it fits with their priorities, such as catching repeat violators and those who are a threat to public safety and national security. Meanwhile, civil rights advocates are preparing for a battle.

They're stepping up efforts to staff a hotline that fields questions about what people's rights are in case officers question their immigration status.

Hungry Bunny tv I1 Climber leaves dog to die on mountain LAS VEGAS -It looks as though Missy, the mountain-climbing dog from Colorado who was left to die by her owner on a Colorado peak last month, is going to a new family: a rescuer who saved the animal after it went eight days without water, food or medical care. Meanwhile, Anthony Ortolani the owner of the German shepherd mix, has received death threats for leaving the dog to die, his lawyer told the Los Angeles Times. "He's gotten letters and calls that he's cruel and has no right to the animal," said Denver lawyer Jennifer Edwards, who represents Or-tolani. Edwards told the Times that her client had been mis -construed as heartless and that he tried in vain to keep Missy with him after a storm broke atop Mount Bierstadt. She also says he's since paid the animal's veterinary bills.

The 5-year-old dog was Ortolani's constant companion and had climbed more than a dozen local peaks with him, Edwards said. But last month, while climbing the second peak of at least 13,000 feet in one day, Ortolani was forced to leave Missy on the mountain after the animal got injured, the lawyer said. Ortolani and a young climbing companion tried to carry the 112-pound animal for more than two hours over rocky terrain, but Ortolani worried for his safety and had to abandon the dog, the lawyer said Ortolani was charged with animal cruelty for leaving Missy behind, but Edwards says he was allowed to plead to a reduced charge in exchange for giving up the dog.
