Doll flies with shuttle
Hopi medicinal symbol orbiting in Columbia
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (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.

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

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.
