| 2nd Monday shooting reported in Palomas
Area law enforcement representatives met Tuesday morning in Las Cruces with Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., and Homeland Security's Steve Austin after more shootings in Palomas. The Luna County Sheriff's Office reports the latest shooting was Monday evening. It had not confirmed the victim's name. He is believed to be from Palomas but with a Luna County residence. Early Monday morning, said Sheriff Raymond Cobos, two people were killed and two wounded in shootings in Palomas. The dead were identified as Javier Otero of Columbus and Adan Perez of Palomas. Injured were Hector Leyva Flores, who was airlifted to El Paso's Thomason Hospital for treatment, and Ricardo Regalado Ramirez, taken to Deming's Mimbres Memorial Hospital for treatment of shotgun pellet wounds to the lower back.
Three years later, Backman still trying to get to the bigs
There is a seafarer's look to the man; one too many days engulfed by the salty air. In the two years following the Diamondbacks debacle, Backman dabbled in this and that -- a fruitless search for fulfillment. Baseball? Who needed baseball? Wally and his brother Mike chartered fishing trips. Wally opened up Prineville's first authentic deli, the New York on Seventh Street Caf, and worked as its chef (the business didn't last). He went on dozens of hunting excursions. Mostly, though, he subconsciously waited. And waited. And waited. In his first season as a manager, with Catskill of the Northern League in 1997, Backman went 3-23. That was an aberration. In the six ensuing years, he suffered one losing campaign. After guiding the Lancaster JetHawks to an 86-54 record in 2004, managing future major leaguers including Conor Jackson, Carlos Quentin and Dan Uggla, he was named The Sporting News' minor league manager of the year.
