Moises Villanueva was born August 2, 1936, in Ra- madero, NM to the home of Ramoncita (Apodaca) and Elias Villanueva and passed away peacefully at his home on January 16, 2017. As a boy, he moved to Encino, where he attended school, and then in 1948 he moved to Portales where he continued his education. In 1955, Moises moved to Clovis, and enlisted in the US Army. He served both in the U.S., and in Germany before his discharge in 1958. On February 14, 1959, in Clovis, he was married to Re- becca Chavez. In 1960, he went to work at Cannon Air Force Base in the Commissary. He retired in 1987, making a total of 30 years in service to his country. Following his retirement, he became the Code Enforcement and Animal Control Officer for the City of Portales, and retired again af- ter 8 ½ years due to his health. Moises was very devoted to his Christian faith, and to his church family. In addition, he enjoyed his many friends at the Senior Center, going fishing and hunting, and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was well known for his chili garden, and people came from far and wide to buy them each year. He is survived by Rebecca, his wife of almost 58 years of their home; two sons, Erminio Villanueva of Hobbs and Patrick Villanueva of Portales; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Marcella and Richard Garcia of Clovis, Chris- tine and Johnny Baca of Portales and Delores Villanueva of Clovis; 13 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren; two brothers, Nick Villanueva and Ernest Villanueva both of Portales and two sisters, Julia Ortega and Mary Madrid both of Portales. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Philip Villanueva and Raymond Villanueva, a sister, Car- men Villanueva, a great-grandson, Andres Lucero and an infant son, Chris Villanueva.

The nation’s largest Indian reservation has struggled to launch an emergency notifi- cation system since it was proposed years ago. The tribe announced last week that a new system should be working within a couple of weeks and that training for law enforcement was expect- ed to start this month. Attorney David Jordan, who is representing Gary Mike and his family, said his clients want the Navajo Nation to acknowledge its wrongdoing to vindicate Ashlynne’s life. The suit does not include a request for compensation but demands a jury trial. UNM charges group $3,400 ALBUQUERQUE — The University of New Mexico has told its College Republicans organization it must pay a security charge for a scheduled campus appearance by far-right com- mentator Milo Yiannopoulos. The school’s College Republicans have been ordered to pay $3,400 for the Jan. 27 event, The Albuquerque Journal report- ed Tuesday. UNM College Republicans President Marina Herrera called the charge a “free speech fine” and accused to university of attempting to censor the con- troversial speaker. She said the group was notified of the fee too late to gather the funds. UNM spokeswoman Dianne Anderson said the group was given an estimat- ed cost Jan. 10. She denied claims that this is a censor- ship issue and said all stu- dent groups are responsible for the security costs of their events. She could not imme- diately provide security charges for other speaking events on campus.

PAGE 4B ✦ THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 2017 NATION THE EASTERN NEW MEXICO NEWS Former president hospitalized By Michael Graczyk THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush was admitted Wednesday to the intensive care unit of a Houston hospital with pneumonia, and his wife, Barbara, was hospi- talized as a precaution after suffering fatigue and coughing, a spokesman said. The 92-year-old former president, who had been hospitalized since Saturday, underwent a procedure “to protect and clear his airway that required sedation,” family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement. Bush was stable and resting comfortably at Houston Methodist Hospital, where he was to stay for observation, the statement said. The 41st president was placed in the ICU to address “an acute respiratory problem stem- ming from pneumonia,” McGrath said. He later told The Associated Press that doctors were happy with how the procedure went.
