Mayor reverses firing amid anger COLUMBUS — The mayor of a troubled New Mexico border village facing criticism amid recent firings has reversed one of his deci- sions. The Deming Headlight reports one of two village employees fired by Mayor Esequiel Salas earlier this month has been placed on administrative leave instead. Robert Gomez, public works director for the small easternnewmexiconews.com border village, received a let- ter of termination from Salas Your source for local news and sports on March 15, less than a week after the Mayor had been sworn in. Salas soon faced a wrath from angry cit- izens over the firing and alle- gations of budget irregulari- ties. But a new letter written by Salas and obtained by the Headlight said Gomez could disregard the termination notice. The new letter states that Gomez is being placed on administrative leave over alleged misconduct. NM expected to fine lab over waste LOS ALAMOS — The New Mexico Environment Department is expected to fine the Los Alamos National Laboratory for exceeding state and federal time limits for storing haz- ardous waste. The Los Alamos Monitor reports state officials informed the lab in a letter last month that it stored two hazardous waste containers over the 90-day storage time limit in central accumulation storage areas. Sate Hazardous Waste Bureau Chief John Kieling also wrote that the lab stored three hazardous waste con- tainers over the 1-year stor- age time limit in permitted units. Both are violations with fines up to $10,000 a day for noncompliance with New Mexico’s Hazardous Waste Management regulations.

By Doug Feinberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio — Arike Ogunbowale put an exclamation point on a thrilling women’s college basketball season. Her off-balance 3-pointer in the title game capped a record comeback by Notre Dame and an incredible weekend for the sport. The Final Four got started with two stirring overtime games — the first time that’s hap- pened. The weekend ended with a historic championship game that left the sellout crowd amazed. “Phenomenal for women’s basketball. Three exciting games. I hope the ratings reflect it,” Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said after the 61-58 win Sunday night. “The crowd was tremendous tonight. Everybody came back. Just an incredible job by Columbus and the local community. Great support for women’s basketball and definitely one of the best Final Fours since 2001, right?” That was the only other time McGraw and the Fighting Irish cut down the nets. It’s been even longer since a title game came down to a last-second shot. Ogunbowale’s 3-pointer was just the second last-second shot that won a champi- onship game. North Carolina great Charlotte Smith made a 3-pointer at the buzzer in 1994 that lifted the Tar Heels to an improbable one-point win over Louisiana Tech.

By Mark Long THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. — Wesley Bryan believes the golf ball is somewhere in his house a few miles from Augusta National. It’s probably in a cabinet or a closet. It still might even have Billy Andrade’s pencil markings on it. The Former PGA Tour regular flipped the ball to Bryan a little more than two decades ago during the Masters. Bryan was attending the event with his dad and standing behind the No. 8 tee when Andrade sin- gled him out. It one of Bryan’s first and fondest memories of the hal- lowed grounds. “It went into the ‘my cool stuff drawer,”’ Bryan said Monday. “Stuff that went into the ‘cool stuff drawer’ seemed to disappear over time when I moved a couple times and I first got married, so I’m not sure exactly what ended up happening to that golf ball. But I bet it’s some- where. If I looked really hard, I could find it.” If not, he should be able to able to replace it this week with better memories from golf’s first major of the year. The 28-year-old Bryan will make his Masters debut a year after his first tour victo- ry, at the RBC Heritage in his home state of South Carolina. How did the former trick- shot artist prepare for it? Partly by watching YouTube videos, naturally.
