That’s the strategy that Pamela Pircaro
took to heart Wednesday as she mulled
over the correct spelling of “kasha”
during the final round of the 2011 Yuma
County Spelling Bee.
Pamela, an eighth-grader at Harvest
Preparatory Academy, accurately spelled
“kasha” after also giving the correct
spelling of the word “angstrom,” which
was misspelled by runner-up Tatyana
Martynova.
Abigail Myers, a sixth-grade teacher
SPELL LIKE A CHAMPION
at Harvest Prep, explained that Pamela’s
knowledge of words and their origins is
absolutely amazing. “I think she could
have gone on and on all day spelling
words correctly.”
Pamela’s father, Mark Pircaro, agreed
with Myers and said he is very proud of
his daughter’s accomplishment.
When asked what he did to help Pamela
to prepare, he responded, “She did the
overwhelming majority of the work. She
just gave me a list and said, ‘Here, pro-

Pamela commented that she had been

placed second in last year’s Yuma County

She admitted that a contributing factor

Six extra people were seated

night’s Yuma City Council meet-

They are Kofa High School
students who had shadowed the
mayor and city councilmembers
during the week to get a taste of
city government, a government
they will be supporting in a few
short years as taxpayers.
And what a taste they got, as
the council again took up the is-
sue of a proposed animal control
ordinance to address the feral cat
explosion in the city.
As it has been over the last sev-
eral months - and years - the sub-
ject was contentious.
Several people, often the same
ones who had spoken up dur-
ing previous meetings, again
pleaded their case for city sup-

the humane way to control the

Official: Gunmen knew ICE

agents were law officers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Gunmen who
shot up an SUV carrying two
U.S. immigration agents, killing
one, knew they were attacking
law enforcement officers judging
from comments they made before
opening fire, a U.S. official told
The Associated Press on Wednes-
day.
The law enforcement official,
who agreed to discuss the case
only on condition of anonymity,
refused to reveal the specific com-
ments but said the blue Suburban
had diplomatic plates that may
have indicated who was on board.
Details emerging Wednesday
indicated that while the gunmen
may have known they were shoot-
ing law enforcement officers, they
had not sought out the two agents.
Jaime Zapata, 32, special agent
for Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, died and a second
agent, Victor Avila, was wounded
Tuesday when they were attacked
on a four-lane federal highway af-
ter, according to a Mexican offi-
cial, they stopped at a roadblock.
The official wouldn’t speak on the
record because he was not autho-
rized to speak publicly about the
case.
Zapata, previously with the
Border Patrol in Yuma, joined
ICE in 2006 and served on the Hu-
man Smuggling and Trafficking
Unit and the Border Enforcement
Security Task Force.
The agents were most likely
in the wrong place at the wrong
time Tuesday, driving a vehicle
coveted by drug cartels, in what
is now the most high-profile at-

condition, according to an
ICE statement Wednesday.
The two agents were
driving between Mexico
City and the northern city
of Monterrey on routine
business and not as part of
an investigation, said a U.S.
federal law enforcement
official who was not autho-
rized to discuss the case
publicly.
Al Pena, a senior ICE
official until he retired in
December, said the agents
arranged to meet Monter-
rey-based ICE agents mid-
way between Mexico City
and Monterrey to pick up
equipment. They were re-
turning south to Mexico
City when attacked. He
didn’t know what equip-
ous words with the help of
her teachers and family.
While on stage, she said,
you can’t let your nervous-
ness get the best of you, es-
pecially when you get up to
the microphone.
“You just have to take a
deep breath and keep spell-
ing,” said Tatyana, who is
from Russia.
Zeeshan Jawaid, a sixth-
grade student from Carpe
Diem Academy, placed
third when he misspelled
the word “pacifism” and
conceded his title as cham-
pion after winning the
county spelling bees in 2009
and 2010.
“I feel that I did pretty
good,” said Zeeshan, add-
ing that he believed that the
pronouncer did not enunci-
ate the word correctly and
that is why he ultimately
ment the ICE agents ex-
changed.
Pena, who was the Home-
land Security attache in
Mexico City in 2008 and
2009, said the ICE office in
Mexico works on many is-
sues — from training cus-
toms investigators to inves-
tigating drug and human
trafficking, gun running
and money laundering.
Avila “was working on
many, many issues,” said
Pena, who knows him well.
“There’s not much special-
ization when you have an
office that small.”
San Luis Potosi Gov.
Fernando Toranzo told W
Radio in Mexico that he
has seen a dramatic rise
in organized crime in his
state, which borders two
northern states where the
Gulf and Zetas cartels have
waged bloody battles over
spelled it wrong.
After the competition
had been completed, Zee-
shan’s mother contested
the issue, but at that point
it was too late to be disput-
ed because the matter had
not been raised within the
proper time frame.
Finishing in fourth place
was McKenzie Millner,
an eighth-grade student
from St. Francis of Assisi
School. Millner was elimi-
nated after misspelling the
word “protocol” in the 11th
round.
Carolyn Marquez, of-
fice administrator of the
county school superinten-
dent and co-coordinator of
the spelling bee, said she
couldn’t believe the com-
petition lasted almost 20
rounds.
“I thought we were al-
territory.
“It’s had a major impact
that we hadn’t see before,”
Toranzo said. “Right now
we’re waging a direct fight
with all our state resources
to restore order.”
Since Calderon launched
a crackdown on organized
crime shortly after assum-
ing the presidency in De-
cember 2006, almost 35,000
people have been killed in
drug-related violence.
Though Mexico is seeing
record rates of violence, it
is rare for U.S. officials to be
attacked. The U.S. govern-
ment, however, has become
increasingly concerned
about the safety of its em-
ployees in the country.
In March, a U.S. employee
of the American consulate
in Ciudad Juarez, her hus-
band and a Mexican tied to
the consulate were killed

ties of the students in the
competition.
“I think the kids came re-

Phillips added that the

when drug gang members
fired on their cars after
they left a children’s party
in the city across from El
Paso, Texas.
The U.S. State Depart-
ment has taken several
measures over the past year
to protect consulate em-
ployees and their families.
It has at times authorized
the departure of relatives
of U.S. government employ-
ees in northern Mexican
cities.
In July, it temporarily
closed the consulate in Ciu-
dad Juarez after receiving
unspecified threats. Earlier
this month, the consulate
in Guadalajara prohibited
U.S. government officials
from traveling after dark
on the road to the airport
because of cartel-related
attacks in Mexico’s second-
largest city.
Norred said the truck
driver had a local arrest
warrant for traffic viola-
tions, as well as a nonex-

warrant for theft in Mon-

charges were filed against
the driver in this incident
and he was later released
