Legal office faces possible closure
Lucy Lopez has spent 29 years guiding Curry County�s low-income residents through the legal system maze.
But now the Clovis paralegal�s job is in peril.
The New Mexico Legal Aid office in Clovis where Lopez works is being recommended for closure.
�We are needed (in Curry County),� Lopez said. �Some of the people we help can�t read, don�t have transportation and have no place else to turn.�
New Mexico Legal Aid provides free civil legal services in housing, welfare, disability benefits and for victims of domestic violence. The Clovis office represents Curry, Roosevelt, De Baca and Roosevelt counties and handles about 75 cases a month, according to Lopez.
Interim director Rosalie Chavez said board of directors for the federally funded, non-profit organization has recommended closing the Clovis office due to the lack of a local staff attorney.

Bentley, Bennett's attorney, said the lawsuit will be reinstated."The case will come back again and be retried," Bentley said, adding that the decision to dismiss the lawsuit was made because of an issue that emerged during trial.
Man pleads innocent in crash
An Orland Park man has pleaded innocent to drunkenly crashing his boat into a barge and killing a Palos Heights man in September. Jason Aardema, 26, is charged with reckless homicide and operating a watercraft under the influence resulting in death, punishable by up to seven years in prison, said Andy Conklin, a spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office. Before dark on Sept. 16, Aardema and his girlfriend picked up Mark Bigos and his girlfriend for a boat trip to see fireworks at Navy Pier, police and attorneys said. Aardema drove his pleasure boat from the Calumet Sag Channel in Palos Heights to the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near Willow Springs and northeast to the Chicago River, which leads into Lake Michigan. It was about 10:45 p.m., near the end of the return trip, when Aardema collided with a 500-foot barge in the Sanitary and Ship Canal at 101st Street and Archer Avenue.
