(AP) — A bear figurine decorated with fur and feathers — a symbol to Hopi Indians of a powerful force able to cure ills — is on space shuttle Co rn payload specialist on ^P 1 to cure ills — is on si lumbia's medical research mission and likely will land a permanent spot in New Mexico. The kachina doll, handmade by a Los Ala mos woman, was among the items taken aboard the shuttle by Dr. Drew Gaffney, a Carlsbad native and i the flight. Gaffney, a cardiologist and associate pro fessor of medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is among seven astronauts on the 10-day mis sion. He has been participating in medical experiments. Elsie Morales said Wednesday she got goose bumps when she learned Gaffney fanned to take one of her crafts on the ight. And she has watched the news 8! throughout the mission in hopes of seeing her doll in space. "When they show it on television I look to see if I can see it somewhere — see it floa ting," she said, chuckling. "But I haven't." The 4V'2-inch kachina likely would be kept in Gaffney's personal preference kit, said Kari Fluegel, a public affairs specialist at Johnson Space Center in Houston. The kits, stored in the shuttle's middeck, can contain no more than 20 items and can weigh no more than IV2 pounds, Fluegel said. Family mementos and items from the astronauts' schools are commonly found in the pouches, she said. Kachinas similar to the one on the shuttle are given to alumni of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine who do nate money to the organization. Gaffney, a 1972 graduate of the UNM medical school, asked the school about tak ing one of the dolls on his mission, said Connie Sais-Romero, coordinator for school's alumni affairs office. "That's a big deal for us," Sais-Romen said. "We're all so excited about it." It also was a big deal for Morales. "I've been doing this for 10 years and this has been like the highlight of my career, she said in a telephone interview from hei home. "I feel like I've accomplished some thing. This has been like the reward foi making kachinas." She selected the bear because in the Hopi religion the bear symbolizes a powerfii medicine kachina able to cure serious i nesses, she said. I.

The dolls, all of which are male, conn in many human and animal likenesses anc symbolize gods, ancestors or forces. monc: and s and H menEr S ' her ill,K intrc*- som«: Sanction effects wearing off; illegal immigrants still hired WASHINGTON (AP) — Sanc tions against employers who hire undocumented workers ap pear to have slowed illegal immi- § ration across the Southwest order but the deterrent effects might be wearing off, a draft ver sion of a presidential report says. Many firms, however, con tinue to hire and recruit unau thorized workers and are more likely to violate minimum wage and child labor laws than indus tries employing few aliens, says the draft report by the Labor and Justice departments. The report was obtained by the Associated Press. Both sides in the debate over the repeal of employer sanctions believe the report will boost their case for either keeping the sanc tions or repealing the 1986 law that subjects employers to civil and criminal sanctions for kno wingly hiring illegal aliens. The report, required under the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), said the em ployer sanctions provisions of the law appear to have helped restrain the flow of illegal aliens in 1989, the year following full implementation. But apprehensions of illegal aliens on the Southwest border, the only indicator of the movement of illegal aliens, in creased in 1990, "implying that some of the initial deterrent ef fects of IRCA may have worn off," the report said. The report said many firms continue to hire — and even re cruit — unauthorized workers despite the threat of sanctions. The report also said 43 percent of non-agricultural firms investi gated by the labor department's wage and hour division were found to be violating IRCA and minimum wage, overtime or child labor laws. At the same time, the draft summary said that IRCA ap pears to be raising wages among firms that had routinely relied on unauthorized workers and that the sanctions were having their greatest impact on those em ployers. Verne Jervis, spokesman for the Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service, said sanctions have had an impact but have been nei ther "overwhelmingly success ful" nor a failure. Rain soaks New Orleans Homes flooded; two killed NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Most of the water had vanished from city streets Wednesday, replaced by furniture, carpets and mattresses soaked by floods resulting from up to 13 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. The storms over the metropolitan New Orleans area and others in southwest Louisiana claimed the lives of two children, authorities said. The downpour began Monday, when 10 inches of rain fell in some parts of the city, including more than six inches in a two-hour period during the afternoon rush hour. The deluge continued Tuesday morning, when another storm dumped more than two inches of rain, prompting more flooding. Manning Ogden, a resident of the Uptown area, one of the hardest hit by the floods, had just moved into his residence nine days ago. Ogden said his automobile had been ruined and he had L pc remove scores of vehicles that were abandoned by motorists fleeing high water. Officials of the Sewerage and Water Board, in the middle of an expansion program, said that even a better drainage system would have been overmatched by the intense storms. Currently, the system can drain one inch of rain in the first hour, and a half-inch every hour after that. "We got close to three inches an hour (Tues day). ... That exceeded the capacity by a long shot," Fred Swan, the board's deputy director, said. no insurance. "Everybody was waiting for the big, one flood, this is the big two flood," he said. According to the Red Cross, at least 80 homes were flooded in Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The board's goal of nearly doubling that capac ity city wide will take between 30 and 50 years to reach, he said. Swan said the board had taken ma jor steps to improve drainage since a major flood in 1978. However, some Uptown residents said their homes took on more water this time. "If they got more water this time than last time, it's because they got more rain," Swan said. peop* WORLD/NATION ofus BRIEFS Shale: toke:* "non From win reports persTu new 1 expect third child ^us dagger, wife ters. □ LONDON - Rolling Stone N dagger and his wife, Jerry Hall, are . ^ expecting their third child earlf achie next year, dagger, 47 and Hall, 34, cess. who married in Bali last year, ah sardc ready have two children, 7-year-old his a Scarlet Elizabeth and 5-year-oM foibl James. mak« Haglergets Sa year probation □ BOSTON - Former middle weight boxing champion Marvel ous Marvin Hagler was sentenced to a year’s probation and commu nity service on a charge of assault and battery that left his girlfriend with a dislocated jaw.
