WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — A 19-year -old Massachusetts college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing was captured hiding out in a boat parked in a backyard Friday and his older brother lay dead in a furious 24hour drama that transfixed the nation and paralyzed the Boston area with fear.

The bloody endgame came four days after the bombing and just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressurecooker explosives that
ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180.
The two men were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass. But investigators gave no details on the motive for the bombing. Early Friday mor ning, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a ferocious gun battle and car chase during which he and
his younger brother hurled explosives at police from a stolen car, authorities said. The younger brother managed to escape. During the getaway attempt, the brothers killed an MIT policeman and severely wounded another officer, authorities said. After a tense, all-day manhunt and house-tohouse search by thousands of SWAT team officers with rifles and armored vehicles, Dzhokhar Tsar naev was cornered in a homeowner’s yard, where he exchanged See BOMB, Page A3

ENGELHARD HEADED TO ADAMS STATE Few, if any, prep golfers in the state of New Mexico work harder at the game than Goddard senior Emilee Engelhard. She’s constantly on the course, on the range or on the putting green working at improving her skills. The hard work has translated into two district individual titles and two appearances on the all-state team.

Hospice is a program that is often misunderstood, but the staff at VistaCare Hospice is attempting to debunk myths and reveal that hospice is not just “end of life care” but a community to help individuals and their families with a final journey, said Chaplain Cecil Kimberlin and social worker Bev Bucklew. Started in 1995, VistaCare Hospice, 400 N. Pennsylvania Ave., is a leading hospice provider in 14 states, and according to their website, their goal is to meet spiritual, physical and emotional needs of all patients. “The definition of hospice, as I see it, is if a dis-

Family, service and community provide a foundation for life for Hispano Chamber of Commerce president Romo Villegas. He says his six-year-old son, Dominic, a big motivator. “My son and I buy bundles of gloves and hats every Christmas, and we will go out and pass them around to the homeless. It’s part of teaching him to give back to the community.” The Villegas family Christmas tradition also includes taking his son to Ruidoso to cut down the Christmas tree. Villegas was born in Las Cruces and came to Roswell with his family when he was two years old. He attended El Capitan Elementary,
Sierra Middle School and Goddard High School, graduating in 1989. Villegas was involved in sports in high school and remains so to this day. The entire family enjoys sports. “My son and I snow ski and water ski. My son wants to learn racquetball. My wife of 19 years, LaDawn ran in track during high school.” Villegas is a member of the Noon Optimists. He is on the board of the S.O.Y. Mariachi. He coaches golf and Little League baseball. He
is involved in the HOSTS program. “It stands for Help One Student To Succeed.” He goes into Washington Elementary every Thursday and reads to first-grade students from 8:15 - 8:45 a.m. “It’s great for the students.” He referred to children as the hope of future. “It’s all about the children.
