Santa Fe residents die in Old Las Vegas Highway crash

A head-on collision on Old Las Vegas Highway southeast of Santa Fe left two people dead Friday, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The victims were identified as 44-yearold Colette Tiner and 70-year-old Larry Chambles, both of Santa Fe. Chambles was driving a GMC Yukon westbound on Old Las Vegas Highway near

the Sunrise General Store when his vehicle “left the roadway” shortly after 11 a.m., the sheriff’s office said in a news release. He apparently overcorrected and crossed into the eastbound lanes of Old Las Vegas Highway, colliding head-on with a Ford Taurus driven by Tiner, the news release said.

Emergency responders said Tiner was dead at the scene. Chambles was transported to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.

William Tiner of Santa Fe said Colette Tiner was married to his son, Terry Tiner, for the past 14 or 15 years, and that the two

House vote knotted at 34 as Republicans sway one Democrat

Parts of New Mexico declared disaster because of drought

House members on Friday failed to reach a deal on a proposed $6.2 billion state budget bill, nearly splitting along party lines over spending on Gov. Susana Martinez’s education initiatives.

As the governor’s Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera, the public face of that chasm, looked on from the gallery, House Republicans pushed to restore much of the governor’s public schools agenda that had been stripped away by Democrats earlier in the week.

But as lawmakers batted around millions of dollars in spending proposals, in the end, small numbers trumped big ones. The Democrats — missing two members with health problems — failed to gain a majority, stalling the budget bill in a 34-34 deadlock.

“One more vote is all we needed,” said Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, who chairs of the Legislative Finance Committee. “Them being gone

One could hardly blame New Mexico’s snow surveyor, Wayne Sleep, for wanting to change jobs or at least move to a snowier state. For three years, Sleep has felt like the harbinger of bad news on the water supply: dry, dry and still dry.

The latest snowpack numbers for New Mexico’s mountains and water basins aren’t helping Sleep’s mood or the state’s water prospects.

“Not good” is Sleep’s succinct summary of the latest water supply forecast report he released on Friday on behalf of his employer, the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The forecast, based on measurements made Feb. 1, before this week’s storms, show water levels for the Upper Rio Grande to be at 45 percent to 60 perPlease see waTeR, Page A-5

WASHINGTON — Hiring was surprisingly weak in January for a second straight month, likely renewing concern that the U.S. economy might be slowing after a strong finish last year.

Employers added 113,000 jobs, the government said Friday, far fewer than the average monthly gain of 194,000 last year. Job gains have averaged just 154,000 the past three months, down from 201,000 in the preceding three.

The sluggish job growth could undermine hopes that economic growth will accelerate this year. But economists also say they expect hiring to return to healthier levels in coming months. They note that solid job gains last month in manufacturing and construction point to underlying strength.

Manufacturers, construction firms and mining and drilling companies added a strong 76,000 jobs combined last month.

“You rarely see expansions in these industries without the economy being in fairly healthy shape,” said Gary Burtless, an economist at Brookings Institution.

And more people began looking for work in January, a sign that they were optimistic about finding work. Some of these people found jobs, thereby reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6 percent from 6.7 percent in December. That’s the lowest rate since October 2008.

Investors seemed pleased by the figures. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 78 points in morning trading.

Soon after the report was released at 8:30 a.m.

Eastern time, investors pulled back from stocks and shifted into safer U.S. bonds, sending bonds yields sharply lower. But then stock futures rose back above the levels where they had traded before the news.

And the yield on the 10-year Treasury crept back toward its earlier level.

Cold weather likely held back hiring in December, economists said, though the impact faded in January.

Construction firms, which sometimes stop work in bad weather, added 48,000 jobs last month.

Adrift since 1956 Bottle released on Cape Cod found off Nova Scotia

By Denise Lavoie

The Associated Press

BOSTON t was April 1956, and the No. 1 song was Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel.” At the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, scientist Dean Bumpus was busy releasing glass bottles in a large stretch of the Atlantic Ocean.

Nearly 58 years later, a biologist studying grey seals off Nova Scotia found one of the bottles in a pile of debris on a beach, 300 miles from where it was released.

“It was almost like finding treasure in a way,” Warren Joyce said Friday.

The drift bottle was among thousands dumped in the Atlantic Ocean between 1956 and 1972 as part of Bumpus’ study of surface and bottom currents. About 10 percent of the 300,000 bottles have been found over the years.

Joyce found the bottle Jan. 20 on Sable Island, about 185 miles southeast of Halifax.

He contacted scientists at Woods Hole and dutifully gave them the time and place information Bumpus had asked for in a postcard inside the bottle. His reward will be exactly what Bumpus promised in 1956 to anyone who returned a bottle: a 50-cent piece.

“I didn’t want the reward, but they said they are sending it to me anyway,” Joyce said, chuckling.

Joyce said the bottle had been sand-blasted over about 75 percent of its surface. He could still read the words, “Break This Bottle,” so he pried off the rubber stopper. Inside, there

was a note from Bumpus explaining that the bottle was among many being released to study the ocean.

In those days, there was no other way to study currents, said Steven Jayne, a senior scientist at Woods Hole.

“We didn’t have satellites to track currents like we do now. So the only thing you could do was to see where something started and where it ended up,” he said. “That was a pretty good approach.”

Using the number on the postcard, Woods Hole workers tracked the bottle found by Joyce to a group of 12 released not far off Nova Scotia on April 26, 1956.

Woods Hole archivist David Sherman said three other bottles from the same batch were found within a few months after they were dropped in the ocean: two in Nova Scotia and a third in Eastham, on Cape Cod. There’s no way to tell for sure when the bottle Joyce found washed up on Sable Island, but judging by its sand-worn condition, it may have been there for decades, Sherman said.

Bumpus needed thousands upon thousands of empty bottles for his well-intentioned littering of the seas. In September 1959, he solicited colleagues’ help, writing in a memo: “All hands are respectfully requested [until further notice] to bring their dead soldiers to the lab and deposit them in the box just inside the gate. Whiskey, rum, beer, wine or champagne bottles will be used to make drift bottles. Any clean bottles — 8 oz. to one quart in size will be gratefully received. Bottoms up!”

Bumpus died in 2002. About 270,000 of his bottles remain unaccounted for, Sherman said.

“Some of them were probably damaged, some were probably kept as keepsakes, and

BANGUI, Central African Republic — Thousands of Muslims climbed aboard trucks protected by heavily armed Chadian soldiers in a mass exodus Friday from the capital of Central African Republic. Their flight follows months of escalating attacks on anyone perceived as supporting a now-defunct Muslim rebel government blamed for scores of atrocities during its rule of this predominantly Christian country.

In The Hague, Netherlands, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announced a preliminary investigation into potential war crimes or crimes against humanity in Central African Republic, saying the crisis has “gone from bad to worse” since September.

Along the streets of Bangui, crowds of Christians gathered to cheer the convoy’s departure for the neighboring country of Chad, which is mostly Muslim.

along the West Coast and in the Northeast.

Carlos Carroll, a wolf researcher at the Klamath Center for Conservation Research in Orleans, Calif., said the problems highlighted by the peer-review panel had been raised previously by others. He said he hoped they would now get more attention from wildlife officials.

“This gives them a chance to re-evaluate their strategy,” Carroll said.

But feelings run strong on both sides of the issue, and many Republican lawmakers, agricultural interests and hunting groups have pushed equally hard for jurisdiction over wolves to be passed to states so they could manage the population through annual harvests.

Those efforts have been motivated in large part by wolf attacks on livestock and big game herds in areas where the predators have recovered.

An earlier peer-review panel charged with reviewing the delisting proposal was dissolved last summer, after criticisms arose when three scientists who had been critical of the government’s wolf plan were told they couldn’t serve.

One of the three — Robert Wayne at the University of California Los Angeles — was later named to the panel that came up with Friday’s report. Officials had aimed for a final decision on the matter this summer. That’s now uncertain after delays in the peer review and time lost to the federal government shutdown in the fall.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Anti-government protesters stormed into the Bosnian presidency and another government building in Sarajevo and set them ablaze Friday as riot police fired tear gas in a desperate attempt to stop them.

Smoke was rising from several Bosnian cities as thousands vented their fury over the Balkan nation’s almost 40 percent unemployment and its rampant corruption.

It was the worst social unrest the country has seen since the 1992-95 war that killed over 100,000 people following Yugoslavia’s dissolution.

As night was falling Friday, downtown Sarajevo was in chaos, with buildings and cars burning and riot police in full gear chasing protesters and pounding batons against their shields to get the crowd to disperse.

Nearly 200 people were injured throughout the country in clashes with police, medical workers reported.

Allen responds to Dylan Farrow’s molestation claim LOS ANGELES — Woody Allen is again denying he molested adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow and is calling ex-partner Mia Farrow vindictive, spiteful and malevolent in an open letter published online Friday

The 78-year-old filmmaker says Dylan Farrow’s open letter published last week by The New York Times includes “creative flourishes that seem to have magically appeared during our 21-year estrangement.”

“Of course, I did not molest Dylan,” writes Allen.

“I loved her and hope one day she will grasp how she has been cheated out of having a loving father and exploited by a mother more interested in her own festering anger than her daughter’s well-being.”

Allen was investigated for the alleged molestation, but was never charged.

The acerbic judge initially predicted that The X Factor would be a major hit before its 2011 debut, but the show never garnered stellar ratings, which continued to dip in last year’s third season.

Agency struggling to keep up with rising cellphone use

PER SEAT! GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE IN THE USA!

By Ellen Nakashima The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency is collecting less than 30 percent of all Americans’ call records because of an inability to keep pace with the explosion in cellphone use, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The disclosure contradicts popular perceptions that the government is sweeping up virtually all domestic phone data.

It is also likely to raise questions about the efficacy of a program that is premised on its breadth and depth, on collecting as close to a complete universe of data as possible in order to make sure that clues aren’t missed in counterterrorism investigations.

In 2006, the officials said, the NSA was collecting nearly all records about Americans’ phone calls from a number of U.S. companies under a thenclassified program, but as of last summer that share had plummeted to less than 30 percent.

The government is taking steps to restore the collection — which does not include the content of conversations — closer to previous levels. The NSA is preparing to seek court orders to compel wireless companies that currently do not hand over records to the government to do so, said the current and former officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

President Barack Obama has given the Justice Department and the intelligence community until March 28 to come up with a plan.

The actual percentage of records gathered is somewhere between 20 percent and 30 percent and reflects Americans’ increasing turn away from the use of land lines to cellphones, as well as technical challenges in preparing the NSA database to handle large amounts of new records.

That still likely represents tens of billions of records going back five years, a cause of great concern to privacy and civil liberties advocates.

In defending the program, administration officials have emphasized the need to gather all records. “If you’re looking for the needle in the haystack, you have to have the entire haystack to look through,” Deputy Attorney General James Cole told Congress last July.

Edward Felten, a Princeton University computer scientist who has studied the program from a technological perspective, said the revelation “calls into question whether the rationale offered for the program is consistent with the way the program has been operating.”

But collection of even a quarter of the records is valuable,

President Barack Obama talks last month about moving data out of the NSA’s hands to ease fears of intrusions on privacy.

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

officials say.

“It’s better than zero,” said the NSA Deputy Director Rick Ledgett in an interview Thursday, without describing the program’s exact scope. “If it’s zero, there’s no chance.”

One former senior official acknowledged that 100 percent was the goal, but asserted that as long as the collection “is fairly spread across the different vendors in the geographic area that you’re covering,” the collection provides value.

The NSA, for instance, is still able to obtain the call records of some customers whose phone companies are not covered by the program. When the customers of a non-covered carrier call customers of a covered carrier, the latter’s records should

reflect both ends of the call.

Some industry officials said that the 20 percent to 30 percent figure can only be explained if the NSA is also missing records from companies that provide Internet-based calls.

The NSA collection program began without court or congressional approval after the Sept.

11, 2001, attacks but was placed under court supervision in 2006 when American phone companies balked at providing the data solely at the request of the executive branch.

Under the program, the NSA receives daily transfers of call “metadata” from several of the nation’s largest phone companies. Those records include numbers called, the calls’ time and duration, but not the content of conversations.

2014 Legislature

Senate passes bill banning texting and driving Violators would face $25 fine for first offense, $50 for subsequent tickets

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

New Mexico would join 41 other states that have specific laws against texting and driving under a bill that passed the state Senate 37-5 on Friday.

Senate Bill 19, sponsored by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. Gov. Susana Martinez has said she supports such legislation.

Texting while driving is responsible for 3,000 deaths and 330,000 injuries a year across the U.S., Wirth told

senators. “Among teenagers, texting and driving causes more deaths than drinking and driving,” he said.

The bill would allow police to ticket drivers they see typing on cellphones or reading messages while driving or stopped in traffic. Violators would face a $25 fine for a first offense and a $50 fine for subsequent tickets.

Using hands-free, voice-activated devices would be legal. Also, it wouldn’t be a crime to pull over and park to send or read texts or emails.

Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort, R-Sandia Park, who supported the bill, told senators that her brother last year was involved in a traffic accident. He was stopped at a red light when he was rammed from behind by someone going 45 mph. That driver wasn’t intoxicated, she said, which made

authorities believe he was texting.

Under the bill, police would be barred from confiscating phones and reading messages from suspected texting offenders, although authorities would still be able to look at phone records during accident investigations. Before the bill was amended to include that section, Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez had said that seizing phones that contain messages to and from lawyers would violate attorney/client privilege.

The only votes cast against the bill were from Sanchez, D-Belen, Senate Republican Leader Stuart Ingle of Portales, Sen. Pat Woods, R-Broadview, Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington, and Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell.

Sanchez, who last year effectively blocked the bill from reaching the

Senate floor, said one of his concerns is that SB 19 is the first step in making texting and driving a felony. “I’ve listened to the national speakers on this,” he said.

He argued that enforcement could be selective.

He also argued that there already are laws on the books against careless driving, which should be used to punish texting and driving rather than passing another law.

Sen. Ron Griggs, R-Las Cruces, voted for the bill, but he also said he was concerned that such a law would be difficult to enforce.

Senate Republican Whip Bill Payne of Albuquerque, who also voted for the bill, had similar problems with the legislation.

“This really is a ‘message statute,’ ”

he said, meaning it would be used to send a message to those who text and drive.

Wirth compared his bill to the law requiring drivers and passengers to wear seat belts — which also has a $25 fine.

He said the seat belt law has helped raise awareness about seat belts and has resulted in widespread compliance with the law.

One big difference, however, Wirth noted: Those who don’t wear their seat belts endanger themselves. Those who text and drive endanger everyone.

Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 12 Fireworks bill popping: A bill that would give the state more power to ban fireworks during emergencies got a do-pass recommendation Friday from the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee. Senate Bill 94, sponsored by Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, now goes to the full Senate.

Under the bill, city or county governments could request the Forestry Division of the state Department of Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources to adopt and enforce emergency rules within the municipality or county to ban, partially ban or restrict the sale or use of all fireworks if “extreme fire danger” exists.

Marijuana amendment: A proposal to let New Mexico voters decide whether to legalize marijuana has stalled — for now.

The state Senate Rules Committee failed Friday to debate the constitutional amendment.

The proposal’s sponsor, Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, says he hopes the committee takes up the measure next week.

If lawmakers approve the proposal, voters in November would decide whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults over 21.

However, the plan is likely to face difficulty in the Legislature.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez also opposes it, but she has no authority to prevent it from being put to voters.

Colorado and Washington state have legalized marijuana. Pot stores opened in Colorado last month, and sales should start in Washington later

this year.

Wire theft: The Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday gave a do-pass recommendation to a bill to deter criminals from stealing wire, cable or other utility hardware that could potentially cause thousands of dollars of damage. SB 21, sponsored by Sen. Steve Neville, R-Farmington, is heading to the Senate floor.

The committee amended the bill to make the crime a misdemeanor for the first two offenses.

Subsequent offenses would be fourth- and then third-degree felonies.

Looking ahead: The House Labor Committee is scheduled Saturday, Feb. 8, to consider HB 127, sponsored by Rep. Paul Pacheco, R-Albuquerque, and pushed by Gov. Susana Martinez, which would repeal the law that allows undocumented immigrants to have driver’s licenses.

The meeting is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. u The Senate Public Affairs Committee is scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, in Room 321 at the state Capitol to discuss hospital solvency in light of forthcoming federal funding changes to the Sole Community Provider program distribution.

Legislation that would change the way funds are distributed to hospitals and counties is on the agenda. u Monday, Feb. 10, will be Film & Media Day at the Capitol, with industry members promoting their economic impact.

Quote of the day: “CB radios went out when three-piece suits went out in the ’70s.” — Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, to Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell. During Senate debate on SB 19, which would outlaw texting and driving, Pirtle had asked whether the law would apply to drivers using citizen-band radios.

A state senator’s about-face from the philosophy he had espoused moments before he voted helped advance a proposal to raise the statewide minimum wage in New Mexico.

Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, cast the deciding vote in the Senate Rules Committee on Friday, minutes after saying he favors increasing the minimum wage but opposes doing so via a constitutional amendment.

“Philosophically, I just cannot agree to do it in the constitution,” Sanchez said.

When it came down to sending the proposed constitutional amendment on to the next committee or forsaking the plan, however, Sanchez voted to pass it to the Senate Judiciary Committee, with no recommendation about whether that panel should approve the measure. The 6-5 vote was along party lines.

Sanchez woke Friday to the bitter aftertaste of seeing his own minimum-wage bill, which sought an increase via statutory change, die in committee the night before.

The plan that advanced Friday would ask voters to approve setting the minimum wage in New Mexico at $8.30 an hour beginning next year, with future growth tied to the rate of inflation and a provision that it would not regress.

The minimum hourly wage in New Mexico is $7.50, 25 cents more than the federal hourly minimum.

As a constitutional amendment requiring voter approval, the measure sponsored by Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, would sidestep the veto pen of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, who last year halted legislation to raise the minimum wage in New Mexico to $8.50 an hour.

Opponents of Senate Joint Resolution 13, including business groups and Republican lawmakers, said it would be burdensome to employers. They argued it would unfairly tether wages paid by rural businesses to living-cost increases in faraway, incomparable cities.

Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto, D-Albuquerque, responded that he would rather pay the extra costs of patronizing a local business with higher wages than see his tax dollars go toward entitlement programs, which many low-wage earners turn to for support.

“If we don’t raise the minimum wage to a level that people don’t have to be on welfare when they’re working full time, we’re not going to get there,” he said.

Another proposal, pending in the House, seeks to raise the minimum wage in New Mexico to $10.10 an hour, with increases tied to the rate of inflation.

Propane shortage fuels crisis in Dakotas The Associated Press

FORT YATES, N.D. — A nationwide propane shortage is hitting an American Indian reservation that straddles the border of North and South Dakota particularly hard, causing tribal officials to warn that the thousands of low-income residents who live there are running out of ways to heat their ramshackle homes.

The Standing Rock Reservation is on the wind-swept Northern Plains where there is little to block the icy gales that whip in from the northwest and create wind chills as low as 50 below. Many residents live in mobile homes, some with ill-fitting doors, others with boards tacked up where the windows should be, or deteriorating roofs that leak muchneeded warmth.

The propane crisis escalated this week when Debbie Dogskin, 61, died while house-sitting for a friend in a rundown mobile home with an empty propane tank.

“We think she just fell asleep and died,”

said her mother, Sara Dogskin, tears trickling from the corners of her eyes as she stared out the dining room window of her house just a few blocks from where her daughter died early Tuesday.

Preliminary autopsy results released Friday did not identify a cause of death, but Sioux County Sheriff Frank Landeis said he believes Dogskin froze to death because it was as cold inside the home as out that morning — 1 degree below zero.

Dogskin’s family said she had taken off some of her clothes, a symptom of the altered state of mind of someone in the advanced stages of hypothermia. Toxicology reports were expected in six to eight weeks.

As the Dogskin family prepared for a memorial service, authorities investigated why there was no propane to heat the home. Her mother said Dogskin, who was known for helping others, likely felt a sense of responsibility to stay in the freezing home and keep watch over it for her friend.

“She should have come back,” Sara Dogskin said. “But my daughter, she would never say no.”

Propane — a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining — has been in short supply in the U.S. since late last year after farmers burned up more than usual to dry out a late wet harvest.

Compounding that, less propane has been arriving from Canada because of higher demand there, and the deadly cold winter in the U.S. has increased demand and driven up prices here.

A gallon of propane is about $3.90 per gallon in the U.S. this week, down about 12 cents over the week but up about $1.59 from last year at the same time, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data released Wednesday.

Ken Snider, who drives a propane truck for Cenex out of Selfridge, said the price on the reservation this winter peaked at $4.65 a gallon.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a fatal collision at Old Las Vegas Highway and Old Pecos Trail on Friday afternoon. The victims were identified as Colette Tiner, 44, and Larry Chambles, 70. East and westbound traffic lanes on Old Las Vegas Highway were closed near Harry’s Roadhouse for several hours. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

Collision: Alcohol not believed a factor Continued from Page A-1 have a 7-year-old son named Cal. The father-in-law said Colette Tiner worked in the downtown office of the financial firm Davis Advisors.

He said she was born and raised in Santa Fe and that she had attended Santa Fe High School before earning a degree from The University of the New Mexico.

Chambles’ daughter, Hattie Kuper, who lives in Texas,

said her father was a retired orthodontist who had worked in Santa Fe for more than 20 years. Kuper said her father had sold his interest in the practice to his business partner, Stephen Kellam.

In addition to his wife, Yvonne, of Santa Fe, Kuper’s father also is survived by a brother who lives in Las Cruces.

Maj. Ken Johnson with the sheriff’s office said it’s unclear how fast the vehicles were traveling, but even if they

were going the speed limit, 45 mph in that area, a head-on collision would account for the extensive damage to the vehicles. Both drivers were wearing seat belts, he said.

Johnson said he doesn’t know why Chambles’ SUV initially left the roadway. He said an autopsy might reveal more information. Investigators don’t believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.

A police alert issued shortly before midday Friday indicated that east and westbound

traffic lanes on Old Las Vegas Highway were closed near the Sunrise General Store, 52 Old Las Vegas Highway, but Johnson said the roadway was reopened before the Friday evening rush hour.

Water: Rio Arriba, Taos declared disasters Continued from Page A-1

cent of normal through June.

The report also predict the water supply to most of the state’s water basins will remain far below average. The report comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday declared several New Mexico counties as disaster areas due to drought conditions.

The storms this week have added several inches to the mountain snowpack in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado — but still not enough to make up the deficit from the last two months.

The water supply forecast showed all water basins except for one in the far northwest corner of the state were below average — and below where they were at this time last year. The water supply is largely dependent on mountain snowpack and supplemented by summer monsoons.

Sleep estimates Northern New Mexico would need 2 to 3 inches of water-equivalent snowpack to bring river basins close to normal for the spring water supply.

“We would need another series of three or four of these latest storms in a row to get us close to normal. We should be getting these storms at this time of year,” he said. “And they’ll have to be wetter than normal storms to start closing the gap.” The snow dumped by this week’s storms was fairly dry, he said.

The USDA on Friday declared four Northern New Mexico counties primary disaster areas due to drought, including Taos, Rio Arriba, Harding and De Baca.

The designation allows farmers and

ranchers to apply for low-interest emergency loans to cover crop and livestock losses due to drought. Producers have eight months to apply for the loans. Adjacent counties also can qualify for relief.

The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor map released Tuesday by a coalition of federal weather and agriculture agencies showed little change in New Mexico. Most of the state is in moderate to severe drought, as measured by precipitation, water storage and soil moisture.

All of central California, meanwhile, is suffering under extreme to exceptional drought, the worst levels reported by the U.S. Drought Monitor. And the severe drought appears to be spreading into Nevada.

A few of the snow telemetry sites in Northern New Mexico that measure snowpack depth and water content fared pretty well in this week’s storms, picking up 8 to 18 inches, Sleep said. But the water equivalent of the snow at the sites — the amount of water available if the snow was melted down — averaged only 1 inch, he said.

The snow telemetry site near the Santa Fe ski basin, for example, picked up 11 inches of new snow Wednesday, but that equaled only half an inch of water. The snowpack began decreasing Thursday and Friday.

The river flow at the Otowi Gauge on the Rio Grande near Santa Fe measured half of the norm for this time of year. Further south, at the San Marcial Gauge near Elephant Butte Reservoir, the Rio Grande was flowing at 30 percent of average.

The San Juan River Basin that feeds Navajo Lake in New Mexico was doing better than other basins because of a decent snowpack in Southern Colorado that feeds the river. “The water supply forecast on the San Juan is 70 to 90 percent of normal, still below what we would hope for, but not as bad as the upper Rio Grande,” Sleep said.

The water supply in the Pecos River Basin, which starts in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is 30 percent to 60 percent of average.

Water managers and farmers rely on spring snowmelt and river flows to fill up reservoirs needed to supply domestic water and irrigation needs.

The farm bill recently approved by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama includes an important new provision that will help small-scale New Mexico farmers and irrigators. The bill makes acequias eligible for water conservation programs and resources, said Paula Garcia, executive director of the New Mexico Acequia Association. “Investment in agriculture will expand the availability of locally grown food and support the livelihood of farmers and ranchers in New Mexico’s acequia communities.”

Many farmers in New Mexico rely on historic gravity-fed irrigation ditches, called acequias, to water their gardens, orchards and fields. The ditches rely on rivers and water released from reservoirs.

In the last few years, many reservoirs have been too low to give irrigators enough water for their crops through the growing season.

Budget: Dems lament ill colleagues Continued from Page A-1 made the difference.”

Reps. Phillip Archuleta, D-Las Cruces, and Ernest Chavez, D-Albuquerque, have been excused but not present for the legislative session so far. Archuleta has had a difficult recovery from hip surgery, and Chavez reportedly is recovering from a possible spider bite.

Their absence has trimmed the Democrats’ 37-33 majority in the House to 35-33, leaving the Democrats’ agenda on closely contested issues — such as the state budget — vulnerable to being blocked

by Republicans, who need to sway just one Democrat to their side.

On the budget question, the GOP swiped a reliable swing vote from Rep. Sandra Jeff, D-Crownpoint, who read aloud letters from a superintendent and a school board member in her district who favored the Republican version of the budget.

An amendment by House Republican leader Donald Bratton of Hobbs that would have restored the governor’s items, including a system of merit pay for teachers that would have been administered by the state’s Public Education Department, failed on a 34-34 vote. The measures had been cut out by the Democrat-controlled House Finance Committee on Monday.

For more than three hours, the House debated the merits of the Democrats’ plan, which would have given school districts more control over spending, and the Republican counter, which aimed to give the Public Education Department more control over money to implement merit pay for teachers and principals, textbooks, Web portals for parents to check their children’s progress and student assessments the governor favors.

About $25 million was in play between the two budget proposals. Republicans characterized the amount as a pittance — 3.6 percent of the $2.7 billion education package, and 0.7 percent of the overall budget, according to Bratton.

Republicans argued the investment is meager, particularly when New Mexico ranks near the bottom of many educational achievement measures and the reforms they favor have turned around lowperforming school systems in Tennessee and Washington, D.C. Republicans repeatedly hammered on the state of public education in New Mexico under a half-century of funding overeen by Democrats.

Republicans accused Democrats of heaping money on the problem with poor results.

“If there is a correlation between what we spend on education and performance … it’s an inverse correlation,

because performance has gone down,” said Rep. Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque. “I’m all for spending more money, whatever it takes to improve the state of the education system, but it’s pretty clear to me we’re not spending it in the right way.”

Democrats fired back that local control of education money at the school board level can make more meaningful change than leaving it in the hands of the state’s Public Education Department. Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, blasted the Republican version of the budget.

“The accountability is not between the voter and the school board. Now it’s the secretary of education that’s enforcing the accountability, not the local folks,” he said, noting that the approaches Republicans favor can be instituted by school districts that think the approaches will work.

Egolf said the Republican plan to hand more money to the governor’s education Cabinet secretary rather than to school districts is a push for a political win, rather than a consideration of effective education policy.

The Governor’s Office accused Democrats of playing politics with the budget.

“It’s unfortunate that Democrats tried to ram through a partisan budget after only negotiating with labor unions and special interests and not the minority party,” said Enrique Knell, a spokesman for Martinez.

Friday’s tie vote on the budget leaves the state spending plan in limbo on the desk of House Speaker Ken Martinez, D-Grants. Any member of the House could make a motion to bring it up for another vote as soon as Monday.

More than halfway through the 30-day legislative session, which has a primary mission of adopting a budget, the speaker recognized that moving the spending package along should be a priority, since it still needs to be considered by the Senate before the governor can consider it.

Possibilities for what happens next range from one of the ill Democrats returning and casting a deciding vote for the budget favored by his party, further negotiations between leaders from both parties to reach a compromise, or the Senate passing a budget bill and sending it to the House for consideration, Speaker Martinez said.

“We are not train-wrecked, we’re not bottlenecked,” he said. “I think at worst we have maybe a two- or three-day delay.”

Jobs: Government shed 29,000 workers Continued from Page A-1 in developing countries has further spooked investors.

The anxiety marks a reversal from a few weeks ago, when most analysts were increasingly hopeful about the global economy. U.S. growth came in at a sturdy 3.7 percent annual pace in the second half of last year. The Dow Jones industrial average finished 2013 at a record high. Europe’s economy was slowly emerging from a long recession. Japan was finally perking up after two decades of stagnation.

But then came December’s weak jobs total. And on Monday, an industry survey found that manufacturing grew much more slowly in January than in December. A measure of new orders in the report sank to the lowest level in a year. That report contributed to a dizzying 326-point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average.

Also this week, automakers said sales slipped 3 percent in January. And last week, a measure of signed contracts to buy homes fell sharply, according

to the National Association of Realtors.

On a more hopeful note, a survey of service sector companies, including retailers, banks and restaurants, found that they grew faster in January than in December.

Friday’s report showed that some higher-paying industries added jobs in January. Factories created 21,000 new positions. Professional and technical services, which includes architects and engineers, added 20,000.

But health care employment was mostly unchanged for a second straight month, after adding 17,000 jobs a month last year. And retailers cut 12,900 jobs, the most in 18 months.

And government eliminated 29,000 jobs, mostly in education and the Postal Service.

That was the biggest drop in government employment in 15 months.

Average hourly earnings rose 5 cents to $24.21, the report said. Average hourly pay has increased 1.9 percent in the past year, slightly ahead of the 1.5 percent inflation rate.

LOCAL NEWS Dog shootings raise alarms in La Cienega

Residents say area is dumping ground for many unwanted pets

Reports show third PAC in support of Gonzales Mayoral candidate gets financial backing from Working America

By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

A third political action committee supporting mayoral candidate Javier Gonzales has emerged in Santa Fe’s municipal election campaigns.

The Working America PAC has spent more than $5,800 so far on “salary and wages” for workers, many from Albuquerque, as well as literature and other expenses, according to reports filed Friday with the city clerk.

“Our organizers are having faceto-face conversations in neighborhoods throughout the city about why we think Javier Gonzales is the best candidate for working people, Javier particularly around issues of educa- Gonzales tion, building the economy and protecting basic resources, such as the water supply,” Chelsey Evans, state director of Working America, said in an email Friday night.

Evans said Working America is the “community affiliate” of the AFL-CIO and has more than 5,000 members in the city of Santa Fe. Gonzales, who is running as a publicly financed candidate, said he would prefer that outside groups not get involved in the race, regardless of who they are supporting.

A

n animal advocacy group is offering a $10,000 reward for information on the shootings of three dogs in the La Cienega area, two of them fatal. A fourth shooting has been reported in the village southwest of Santa Fe, but hasn’t yet been confirmed by authorities.

While residents in the village say the shootings are “terrible,” they complain that too many dog owners allow their pets to roam free, and they say the community has become a dumping ground for unwanted dogs.

Capt. Adan Mendoza of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said neither of the three dogs found shot in La Cienega had identification tags or microchips, which makes tracking their owners difficult. So far, he said, the shootings are not being treated as criminal cases.

The first dog, a female Queensland heeler mix, was found Jan. 24. After two surgeries, she is recovering at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society, said spokesman Ben Swan. He said the dog suffered three wounds, one that shattered her shoulder. Staff at the shelter have started calling her Negra,

he said, and several people have expressed interest in adopting her.

The other two dogs were picked up Jan. 28, and Mendoza said they died from their injuries.

Both were unneutered males, he said, and both had long, goldenbrown fur. One weighed about 80 pounds, and the other was 45 pounds.

Mendoza said after initial media coverage about the shootings, someone reported another dog had been shot, but the sheriff’s office has not confirmed that claim.

La Cienega residents said Friday that unleashed and unclaimed dogs are common in the heavily wooded and rural community. Carl Dickens, the president of the La Cienega Valley Association, said before the shootings were reported, residents had complained about the number of dogs running loose during a community meeting.

Dickens said he has lived in the neighborhood for several decades, and about every three or four years, a dog attack on animals is reported. He said some residents might shoot at a dog if they see one attacking their livestock.

The last major episode of dogrelated violence in La Cienega was in 2005, when a pack of dogs attacked a pregnant cow.

counts of failure to restrain his animals and another three counts of allowing his dogs to run at large.

Santa Fe police said Friday they have identified a suspect in the theft of $2,000 worth of jewelry from a downtown store, which was captured on surveillance footage.

Carlos Lovato, 61, who has a history of shoplifting arrests, was identified as the man seen in a Jan. 28 video taking necklaces, rings and bracelets from displays in the store and putting the items into his pockets, a police news release said.

Surveillance video shows a man Carlos Lovato arrive by bicycle at Turquoise Butterfly, 149 E. Alameda St., and chat with other customers before he begins taking items.

Investigators had described the suspect as a darkhaired man, wearing sunglasses and a gray-and-black hooded sweatshirt and gray striped sweatpants.

Police are asking the public to help find Lovato, who they plan to arrest on a shoplifting charge, said Celina Westervelt, a police spokeswoman.

After police released the store’s surveillance video to news media Jan. 31, investigators received tips from the public, which helped officials identify Lovato as a suspect.

Wartime weekly was first American newspaper in Mexico

T

his year marks the 168th anniversary of the start of the Mexican War, a major event in our regional and national history. By the Kearny conquest of 1846, New Mexico passed into the hands of the United States. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848, confirmed the acquisition.

Among my papers is a photocopy of a small newspaper called The Anglo Saxon, published at Chihuahua City on Saturday, April 3, 1847. The original was in the collections of the Museum of New Mexico.

English, and the last two in Spanish. Evidently, the Americans were hoping to reach a larger readership.

A problem arose in setting type because there is no “w” in Spanish, and hence that letter was lacking the local fonts of type.

John S. Webb, the Army printer from Jackson County, Missouri, solved matters by setting two “v”s next to each other to create an awkward-looking but readable “w.”

That was important, since several of the ranking U.S. officers making news elsewhere in Mexico had a capital “W” in their names, like Generals Worth, Wool and Winfield Scott.

The editor of The Anglo Saxon was 25-year-old Lt. Christian Kribben. Born in Prussia, his parents had brought him to

the St. Louis area in 1835.

He grew up to practice law, but at the outbreak of the Mexican War, he enlisted in an allGerman unit, Company B, light artillery, Missouri Volunteers.

Marching to New Mexico with Kearny, Lt. Kribben was there attached to the Doniphan expedition. While his unit was in El Paso, Kribben wrote a brief description of that place.

Among other things, he said the population appeared to be under 11,000. “The people are more industrious here and seem to live better than the New Mexicans.”

Issue No. 1 of Kribben’s newspaper is dated March 19, 1847, although Pvt. John Hughes indicates he saw a copy as early as the 15th, indicating the paper had been printed ahead of time and a few copies got out.

A total of five issues were

published, the last on April 3.

That is the one preserved in the archive of the Museum of New Mexico. A few days after that date, Doniphan’s troops left Chihuahua City for home and The Anglo Saxon died.

Most copies of the original paper were no doubt lost or destroyed. A few, however, found their way into New Mexico, and at least one issue was mailed from Santa Fe to St. Louis.

Only two Anglo Saxons are known to survive. But another copy or two may one day turn up in Missouri, perhaps carried home in a soldier’s knapsack.

Now in semi-retirement, author Marc Simmons wrote a weekly history column for more than 35 years. The New Mexican is publishing reprints from among the more than 1,800 columns he produced during his career.

SFCC board OKs president contract The Governing Board of the Santa Fe Community College has approved a contract for interim president Randy Grissom.

The contract, which runs from Jan. 28, 2014, until July 31, 2015, pays Grissom an annual salary of $175,000 as well as benefits.

Grissom, 65, has worked in various capacities at the college since it opened in 1983. In December, the board appointed him acting president after it voted to terminate former president Ana “Cha” Guzmán.

Prior to that action, Grissom was serving as the college’s vice president of academic affairs and earning about $125,000 a year. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Texas Christian University.

Death prompts new task force ALBUQUERQUE — Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry says a task force of experts will scrutinize circumstances surrounding the death of a 9-yearold boy.

Berry says the city needs to do more than just determine whether police officers adequately handled several situations involving the boy’s family.

The mother of Omaree Varela has been arrested in his death, which occurred after he and his family had come into contact with police under various circumstances.

Berry says the task force will try to find ways to help other children in what the mayor called “horrific circumstances.”

The mayor says the city will spend up to $50,000 on the task force. He says it will bring in experts on abuse, poverty, hunger, substance abuse and the legal system.

Attempt to hijack Turkish plane to Sochi foiled

Plan to kill sharks in Australia becomes divisive

Civilians evacuated from Syrian city in rare truce 3-day cease-fire part of deal in Homs

By Bassem Mroue The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Dozens of children and women, along with elderly people in wheelchairs, were evacuated Friday from besieged neighborhoods of Syria’s battleground city of Homs under a deal between the warring sides that included a three-day cease-fire.

The rare truce in Homs, which will also allow the entrance of aid convoys, may help build some confidence ahead of a second round of peace talks between the opposition and the government of President Bashar Assad, scheduled to begin in Geneva next week.

By nightfall, about 80 civilians were brought out of the city, many of them appearing frail and exhausted.

Residents have endured a crushing blockade and severe food shortages for more than a year.

U.N. mediator Lakhdar Brahimi had pushed for aid for the estimated 2,500 civilians trapped in the ancient, rebelheld quarters known as Old Homs as a confidence-building measure during the first faceto-face meetings in Geneva last month.

The talks were adjourned until Feb. 10 with no tangible progress, as the Syrian government Syrian Arab Red Crescent members in red uniforms provide some food and drink to a man before he gets on a bus to evacuate the battle-

ground city of Homs, Syria.

Children, elderly women on wheelchairs and other civilians were evacuated Friday from besieged neighborhoods under a deal struck between the government and the opposition that also included a three-day cease-fire allowing aid convoys to enter.

There have been few ceasefires during the course of Syria’s nearly 3-year-old conflict. Over the past year, several temporary truces were negotiated to allow for the evacuation of civilians and the delivery of food parcels in and around Damascus.

Homs, one of the first areas to rise up against Assad in 2011, has been particularly hard hit.

The government has regained control over much of the city, except for a few neighborhoods in the historic center, where rebels are holed up.

The extent of the evacuation is not clear, and officials have not said how many civilians will leave altogether.

The evacuation excludes men ages 15 to 55, who are seen as likely fighters, Homs governor Talal Barrazi told Syrian state TV. While the operation is indeed a breakthrough, many civilians, sick and wounded remain in the old city of Homs, said U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq. “We understand that for the most part the operation went smoothly, but there were isolated reports of gunfire heard during the day,” Haq said.

“We’ll try to evacuate more civilians and deliver aid in the next few days.”

The evacuees will be allowed

to go wherever they want, Homs’ governor said, adding that a shelter has been prepared, capable of taking up to 400 people with nowhere else to go.

“I tell those who left today that soon we will celebrate with them by returning them to their homes,” he said, suggesting that the government plans to recapture areas under rebel control.

SYDNEY — Chris Boyd was surfing at a secluded break on Australia’s western coast when he was attacked by a great white shark in November. The shark severed his left arm and ripped off part of his right leg. The 35-year-old died in its jaws.

The Australian plumber’s gruesome death was part of an increase in shark attacks that has terrified swimmers and triggered a deeply emotional debate in a country where the ocean is considered the national playground.

In response to the panic over the attacks, the government of Western Australia state last month began a cull of great white, tiger and bull sharks more than 9 feet long.

“The public is demanding that sharks, where they stay around popular swimming or surfing areas, should be destroyed,” Gov. Colin Barnett told journalists after Boyd’s death. “I’m in that camp.”

Environmentalists and animal rights activists are outraged by the policy, and some scientists are concerned, too.

“We are never going to stop shark attacks,” said Colin Simpfendorfer, who has studied sharks for 28 years and is director of the Center for Sustainable Tropical Fisheries and Aquaculture at James Cook University in Townsville, in Queensland.

“Science doesn’t support the cull.”

Australia reports the secondhighest number of shark attacks after the United States. Last year, 15 percent of all reported attacks took place in Australian waters.

West Australia’s tourism industry, which employees 56,000 people, is deeply concerned about the long-term consequences of the rise in attacks.

To cull the shark population, state employees have hung large, baited hooks by chains from buoys floating about a mile from popular beaches, including Cottesloe. The government wanted to pay professional fishermen to set the bait and kill or release the fish trapped on the hooks, but few offered their services after animal rights activists threatened to disrupt the process.

Great whites, which can weigh up to 5,000 pounds and are responsible for a third to half of shark attacks on humans, are a protected species in Australia, so a special exemption was required for the cull. Just last year, the federal government updated a plan to increase the great white population.

The day after the cull was announced, a man barged into one of the governor’s offices, smashed several windows and threatened two staff members with a hammer, according to media reports and the governor, who has taken on extra security.

Later, activists used a projector to shine a giant slogan on a wall of the state legislature: “Great whites have rights.”

Some marine experts say it might be better to use nets to kill the sharks, as is done in eastern Australia, where the number of shark-attack deaths is lower. But the nets also kill dolphins and other sea life.

Little is known about how to reduce great white attacks on humans. Because the sharks travel long distances instead of staying in the same area, some scientists think killing individual fish is pointless; another shark could turn up the next day.

A state legislator from the Greens party, Lynn MacLaren, has campaigned for animal rights for decades.

MacLaren, who was born in the United States, said the protest was a sign that the global movement to protect ocean life is advancing.

The public anger about the cull “is the best thing that has ever happened to the shark around the world,” she said.

Harsh winter an indicator of global warming E/The Environmental Magazine

Do’s AnD Don’ts for stroke prevention Do u Get your blood pressure checked before taking birth control pills. u Talk to your doctor about taking blood pressure medication if you’re pregnant and have moderately high blood pressure. u If you’re over 75, get screened for atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heart rhythm. u Eat a diet full of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, olive oil and foods low in saturated fats.

Don’t u Smoke, especially if you get migraine headaches with aura. u Eat high-salt foods. u Drink too much alcohol SOURCE: THE WASHINGTON POST

A low-dose aspirin every other day “can be useful” to lower stroke risk in women 65 and older unless its benefit is outweighed by the potential for bleeding or other risks, the guidelines say.

Migraines: Women are four times more likely to have migraines than men, and they often coincide with hormone swings.

Migraines alone don’t raise the risk of stroke, but ones with aura do. Using oral contraceptives and smoking raise this risk even more, so the guidelines urge stopping smoking.

Irregular heartbeat: Women over age 75 should be checked for atrial fibrillation. Doctors do this by taking a pulse or listening to the heartbeat.

Menopause: Hormone therapy should not be used to try to prevent strokes.

The new guidelines put women’s issues “on the table” so more doctors talk about them, said Dr. Shazam Hussain, stroke chief at the Cleveland Clinic. “Gender does make a difference. The medical community has neglected it for some time.”

Answer: It’s tempting to think that the cold air and snow outside augur the end of global warming, but don’t rejoice yet. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, weather and climate are two very different beasts: “Weather is what’s happening outside the door right now; today a snowstorm or a thunderstorm is approaching. Climate, on the other hand, is the pattern of weather measured over decades.”

Isolated weather events and even seasonal trends are not an indication of global warming’s existence one way or another, and most climatologists agree that the carbon pollution we have been spewing into the atmosphere for the past century is leading to more frequent and intense storms of every kind and causing greater temperature swings all around the planet.

In short, the harsh winter we are having shouldn’t be viewed as a refutation of global warming, but rather as further evidence of a growing problem.

“There is a clear, long-term global warming trend, while each individual year does not always show a temperature increase relative to the previous year, and some years show greater changes than others,” reports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The agency chalks up these year-toyear fluctuations to natural processes such as El Niño or volcanic eruptions, but points out that, regardless, the 20 warmest years on record have occurred since 1981, while the 10 warmest were in the past 12 years.

And global average temperatures have risen by 1.4°F overall since the early 20th century.

According to Becky Oskin of LiveScience.com, shrinking polar ice caps as a result of global warming in recent decades are one factor that may be contributing to the cold weather in North America this winter. “One way the shrinking ice changes weather is by pushing winter air south,” she reports. “When the stored ocean heat gradually escapes in autumn, it changes the pattern of an atmospheric wind called the polar vortex, streaming frigid Arctic air into North America and Europe.” Meanwhile, a 2012 study by researchers Jennifer Francis and Stephen Vavrus concluded that intense warming in the Arctic has caused changes to the jet stream that regulates air circulation around the planet, potentially leading to stronger winter storms hitting the eastern seaboard of the U.S. And what about all that snow? “Hotter air around the globe causes more moisture to be held in the air than in prior seasons,” reports UCS. “When storms occur, this added moisture can fuel heavier precipitation in the form of more intense rain or snow.” The U.S. is already enduring more intense rain and snowstorms, says the group: “The amount of rain or snow falling in the heaviest one percent of storms has risen nearly 20 percent, averaged nationally—almost three times the rate of increase in total precipitation between 1958 and 2007.”

And some regions of the country “have seen as much as a 67 percent increase in the amount of rain or snow falling in the heaviest storms.”

And Oskin points out that while we may be bundling up and shoveling out in the U.S., it’s turned into another scorcher of a summer in the Southern Hemisphere: 2013 was Australia’s hottest year on record, and 2014 has started off even hotter, with temperatures soaring to 125°F and severe fire warnings issued in at least two states there. Apparently global warming is still on.

“It’s just so tangible,” he said.

“This is the closest we’ve got to seeing the people.

“When I heard about it, it was like hearing the first line of [William Blake’s hymn] ‘Jerusalem’ — ‘And did those feet, in ancient time, walk upon England’s mountains green?’ Well, they walked upon its muddy estuary.”

The researchers said the humans who left the footprints may have been related to Homo antecessor, or “pioneer man,” whose fossilized remains have been found in Spain. That species died out about 800,000 years ago.

Ashton said the footprints are between 800,000 — “as a conservative estimate” — and 1 million years old, at least 100,000 years older than scientists’ earlier estimate of the first human habitation in Britain. That’s significant

because 700,000 years ago, Britain had a warm, Mediterraneanstyle climate. The earlier period was much colder, similar to modern-day Scandinavia.

Natural History Museum archaeologist Chris Stringer said that 800,000 or 900,000 years ago Britain was “the edge of the inhabited world.”

“This makes us rethink our feelings about the capacity of these early people, that they were coping with conditions somewhat colder than the present day,” he said.

“Maybe they had cultural adaptations to the cold we hadn’t even thought were possible 900,000 years ago. Did they wear clothing? Did they make shelters, windbreaks and so on? Could they have they have the use of fire that far back?” he asked.

Seven ‘climate hubs’ to help farmers adapt to warming

By Staci Matlock

The New Mexican

Farmers and ranchers’ livelihoods and the nation’s food supply are affected by climate trends, so producers could get some help from a series of new information centers announced Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Seven “climate hubs” across the U.S., including one in New Mexico, will help producers and other landowners prepare for and try to mitigate damages blamed on a changing climate, such as invasive pests, more frequent drought and

‘Rio Grande Sun’ co-founder dies Ruth Souter Trapp, one of four people who founded The Rio Grande Sun in Española in 1956, died Jan. 30 at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center.

Trapp graduated from West Virginia University with a journalism degree. She married journalist Robert Trapp in 1954 in Montana and came to New Mexico to establish The Rio Grande Sun in 1956.

She worked there as reporter, photographer, billing accountant, circulation manager and copy editor — among other duties — until her last day on the job, which was Jan. 27.

She also was a supporter and volunteer of the Española Public Library.

Trapp is survived by her husband of 59 years, Robert; her daughter, Julia Trapp of Santa Fe, and two sons — Robert B. Trapp (managing editor of the Sun) and James Trapp, as well as a granddaughter and two greatgrandchildren. As per Trapp’s request, there were no funeral services, and cremation has taken place.

increased wildfire risks, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said.

The hubs will help ranchers, farmers and other landowners adapt their management practices to climate change. In the Southwest, climate change has been experienced in the form of earlier and harsher fire seasons, more moisture as rain rather than snow and warmer average temperatures.

New Mexico State University in Las Cruces will house the climate information hub for six Southwestern states. The Las Cruces hub will operate out of the Rangeland Management Unit, Jornada Experimental

Range of the Agricultural Research Service. A Southwest sub-hub in Davis, Calif., will focus on specialty crops and Southwest forests. More than three dozen universities, as well as state and federal agencies, are partnering to share information through the hub.

“We’ll get new information out to existing agriculture extension agents and to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which has agents in every county in the United States who know the stakeholders,” said Al Rango, the Southwest Regional Hub leader and a research hydrologist.

Other hubs will serve the

Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, Southern Plains, Midwest, Southeast and Northeast.

The hubs will build on collaborative efforts already underway, such as the monthly U.S. Drought Monitor, to provide the best scientific information available to producers. The hubs will provide public outreach, education, technical help and seasonal forecasts.

Climate change impacts each region differently. The South-

west is dealing with drought and a shift in precipitation from snow to rain. The Midwest is experiencing unseasonable cold spells and deeper droughts. The coastal areas are grappling with more severe storms and rising sea levels.

Researchers are constantly refining their models, and as they compile data, they can see the climate trends developing.

Take the impact of snowpack on the Rio Grande. “More than 50 percent of the flow in the Rio Grande is from snowmelt,” Rango said.

He has a team studying the impact of snowmelt from 24 sub-basins on the Rio Grande.

“We think we can use that to estimate what producers can expect to come down the river.

That can help them decide what crops to plant and how much to plant.”

The hubs will build on scientific climate research and information resources specific to each region.

The winter snowpack hasn’t fared well across much of the Southwest in the last three years, even as the number of flood events have increased.

Drought cost the country an estimated $50 billion in the last two years, according to the USDA.

Funeral services and memorials GENE VALDES, SR. 1917-2014 Gene Valdes Sr. passed to eternal life on February 4, 2014, rejoining his beloved wife of 69 years, Clara, who died in 2009.

Paying for tracks would benefit state

oesn’t anyone else think it’s odd that a staunchly Republican governor such as Susana Martinez wants the federal government to step in and pay for train tracks when all the rest of the time, the Republicans are lamenting the size of the federal government and demanding its budget be smaller and that it stay out of the affairs of states?

Now two other states want to take charge and pay for something that economically benefits their communities, but no, not Susana.

A proposed partnership to bring Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico together with Amtrak and track owner Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway to keep the train route active beyond 2005 could hinge on the support of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

Amtrak’s Southwest Chief has a long history of bringing tourists and others to our state. Colorado and Kansas see the value of maintaining service through their states.

I believe that New Mexico needs to maintain the tracks that Amtrak needs to bring passenger service to Raton, Las Vegas, Lamy and Albuquerque.

The New Mexican reports that fewer than 1,000 individuals have signed up for health insurance under the new Affordable Care Act requirements (“Health exchange enrollment falls short of expectations,” Dec. 16). The article failed to report that more than 63,900 have lost their policies, leaving us at a deficit of 62,900 individuals covered since the ACA was introduced. These individuals have lost coverage and been put at health and financial risk through no fault of their own. The silence and lack of accountability by our federal and state politicians to this real life disaster in New Mexico is astonishing. It is time for New Mexico to ignore the ACA and quickly implement solutions that work.

independent nation.

The collapse of the Ottoman empire, the sultanate and the caliphate, ended the main political source of Muslim unity.

What remained of the Ottoman empire in the Middle East passed into British and French hands in the form of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Transjordan (later Jordan), Mesopotamia (later Iraq) and many of the present Persian Gulf states.

Their national boundaries and immediate political destinies were decided by the British and the French without regard to local opinion. This has had immense consequences for the world, especially Palestine and the creation of the State of Israel.

The United States emerged as the most powerful country in the world, with New York replacing London as the center of the world’s economy. The U.S. shunned its new role as world leader with disastrous consequences. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa automatically entered the war in 1914 as British dominions, but signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 as independent countries. The drive for India’s independence received a new impetus.

Domestically, the huge new powers that democratic governments assumed during the war in order to achieve victory never really went away. During the Great Depression, the U.S. government became the engine of U.S. recovery. In Europe, the development of the welfare state got underway.

Out of the ruins of World War I, a new world began to emerge. It remains a work in progress.

Bill Stewart writes about current affairs from Santa Fe. He is a former U.S. Foreign Service officer and served as correspondent for Time magazine.

hree days of hearings on Capitol Hill about the jaw-dropping data breaches at Target and Neiman Marcus brought to light one new apology and at least two familiar lessons. The lessons are worth reiterating.

First, there’s fresh evidence that retailers have a hard time admitting when they’ve been hacked. Once they do, they find it hard to tell the whole story.

Target said nothing about the breach until an independent security researcher disclosed it on his blog. In its initial statement, the company said the attack involved 40 million card accounts. Three weeks later, Target revealed that other records affecting 70 million customers also had been stolen. Finally, after repeating “how sorry we are that this happened,” a Target executive divulged that the breach had lasted three days longer than initially admitted. Neiman Marcus has been similarly evasive.

This is the kind of slow-motion, piecemeal response that infuriates consumers. A uniform federal standard mandating how retailers report data breaches, which some in Congress are advocating, would be an improvement over the varying state-by-state disclosure laws now in effect, which can allow companies to investigate for months before announcing anything. On this, most retailers and banks agree.

The second lesson is to speed adoption of smart-chip cards, which have encrypted chips embedded in them and often require a password to use. Consumers in about 80 countries now use the technology, which has been shown to significantly reduce fraud and identity theft, but it hasn’t caught on in the United States, where most cards still use antiquated magnetic-stripe technology.

Switching to the new cards is a complicated and expensive process that requires cooperation between several parties — card issuers, banks and merchants — with conflicting priorities. Merchants don’t want to shell out for new smart-chip terminals, for instance, unless they’re sure that issuers will pay up to produce the cards.

Yet it’s worth it: Although these cards wouldn’t have prevented the data theft at Target, in which malware was installed in registers using a dimly understood process, they would have made using that data to create counterfeit credit cards much harder — and thus substantially reduced the incentive to try. In Britain, where smart cards were introduced in 2004, losses from card counterfeiting had declined by 68 percent by 2012.

Merchants and issuers are expected to finally adopt the technology in the United States by October 2015. Target, commendably, now plans to accelerate its transition and have the gear in place by early next year. As other retailers watch Target contend with investigations, lawsuits, and the ire of consumers and investors alike, doing the same might start looking cheaper and cheaper.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 8, 1914: Washington — Drift fences to better control the wanderings of sheep and cattle that graze under permit on national forests, and primarily to prevent stock from grazing upon acres where poisonous plants are found, are being built by the government, says a statement by the Forest Service today. The fences are being constructed to facilitate the handling of sheep and cattle that graze on government projects, and also to give the grass and other forage plants a chance to grow before being ‘mowed’ by the animals. In some cases, the cost of constructing the fences is being borne by the government, and in other cases the stockmen are sharing the expense half and half.

Feb. 8, 1989: An unidentified person broke 17 city parking meters last weekend in downtown Santa Fe. Using an unknown tool, someone broke the meters in half, causing damage estimated at $3,825. An additional $51 was stolen from the destroyed meters.

The writing was on the wall.

Or to be more specific, it was on the little piece of paper that goes Española 48 inside a fortune cookie.

Just before Friday Santa Fe 47 night’s girls prep basketball game between Española Valley, Santa Fe High guard Kayla Herrera had some Chinese food. The fortune cookie that came with it read: “It is better to lose the small battles than the big ones.”

Behold the prognosticating prowess of the cookie.

SOCHI, Russia Russia in search of global vindication kicked off the Sochi Olympics looking more like a Russia that likes to party, with a pulse-raising opening ceremony about fun and sports instead of terrorism, gay rights and coddling despots.

And that’s just the way Russian President Vlad-

A

imir Putin wants these Winter Games to be.

The world’s premier athletes on ice and snow have more to worry about than geopolitics as they plunge into the biggest challenges of their lives on the mountain slopes of the Caucasus and in the wet-paint-fresh arenas on the shores of the Black Sea. But watch out for those Russians on their home turf. A raucous group of Russian athletes had a message for their nearly 3,000 rivals in Sochi, marching through Fisht Stadium singing

that they’re “not gonna get us!”

Superlatives abounded and the mood soared as Tchaikovsky met pseudo-lesbian pop duo Tatu and their hit, “Not Gonna Get Us.” Russian TV presenter Yana Churikova shouted: “Welcome to the center of the universe!”

Yet no amount of cheering could drown out the real world.

McCurdy 80 Archuleta, McCurdy’s head boys Tierra E. 37 basketball coach, knew next to nothing about the Tierra Encantada Alacranes. When he saw the 13 wins attached to their name, he knew this wasn’t a team to take lightly — even if it was its first year in District 4A. “I didn’t know what to expect,” Archuleta said. “I was worried all [Thursday] night and [Friday] morning. I woke up with the jitters. I was making making phone calls, and looking at the little bit of tape that we had [on Tierra Encantada].”

It turned out he didn’t need to worry so much, as the Bobcats scored the first

Excitement’s in the air as state hoops tourney nears

O

n Friday morning, while trying to find the Olympics on TV — try it; it’s not as easy as you think — a random thought came to mind that, naturally, had to go on Twitter.

In this day and age, all good thoughts go on Twitter. Or Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or Kik. Even the not-so-good thoughts go there.

As of Friday morning, the start of the State Basketball Tournament was exactly one month away. The tweet was then recirculated several times over by people probably thinking the exact same thing.

Just when the getting was good, someone had to come along and

remind everyone that the lifeblood of Northern New Mexico sports — prep hoops — is about to reach the proverbial Will Webber final buzzer.

It’s almost Commentary hard to believe, but the entire prep basketball season will come to an end in five weeks, and all we’ll have left is the madness of college hoops, the allure of spring training — and months and months and months of waiting for football to start up again.

In between, we’ll have a few distractions. Like the (yawn) Olympics, the NFL Draft, the NBA Finals, the College World Series, the endless marathon that is Major League Baseball. Oh, and there’s always the Fuego.

If only there were a way to extend the fun of the state tournament beyond mid-March, a way to harness the feeling a week’s worth of drama provides.

For those of you who have been fortunate enough to follow a team that rode the magic carpet all the way to the finals, you know all too well that it’s a feeling that never does go away. Once it’s there, it stays forever.

Over time, the exact details become blurry and the outcomes may seem different, but the emotional highs and lows cannot be forgotten. They produce scars or crooked smiles that last for all time.

Having covered the tournament for nearly 20 years, I can attest that it’s the adrenaline rush of nine days of prep hoops that makes all those late nights in the middle of the winter seem so worthwhile. The sights, the sounds, the controversies: They’re all rewards for the brick-laying that came before, not to mention all the times in which certain media types are forced to file stories with

Saturday, February 8, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

RALPH KINER, 1922-2014

N.M.-born slugger, voice of Mets dies

By Bruce Weber

The New York Times

Ralph Kiner, baseball’s vastly undersung slugger, who belted more home runs than anyone else over his 10-year career but whose achievements in the batter’s box were obscured by his decades in the broadcast booth, where he was one of the game’s most recognizable personalities, died Thursday at home in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He was 91.

The Baseball Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 1975, announced the death.

Baseball fans who are short of retirement, especially those in New York, are familiar with Kiner as an announcer who spent half a century with the Mets, enlivening their broadcasts with shrewd analysis, amiable storytelling and memorable malapropisms since their woeful first season in 1962.

His genial, well-informed and occasionally tongue-twisted presence accompanied all of Mets history, from the verbal high jinks of Casey Stengel and the fielding high jinks of Marv Throneberry to the arrival of fireballer Tom Seaver and the miraculous World Series title of 1969, from the thrilling 1986 Series victory over the Red Sox to the dispiriting Subway Series loss to the Yankees in 2000 and the Madoff-poisoned, injuryriddled ill fortune of recent seasons.

But long before he referred to Gary Carter as Gary Cooper on the air, declared that “if Casey Stengel were still alive he’d be spinning in his grave,” or watched a long ball disappear from the park with the trademark call “Going, going, gone, goodbye!,” Kiner was one of the game’s great right-

handed hitters.

Cut short by a back injury, Kiner’s career on the field was among the most remarkable in baseball history, featuring a concentrated display of power exhibited by few other sluggers. Slow afoot Ralph Kiner and undistinguished as an outfielder, he was nonetheless among the signature stars of the baseball era immediately after World War II, in the same conversation with Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial.

From 1946 to 1955, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, he totaled 369 home runs, twice hitting more than 50 in a season, and drove in 1,015 runs, an average of more than 100 a year.

In his first seven seasons, with Pittsburgh, Kiner led the National League in home runs every year, still a record streak for either league.

From 1947 to 1951, he had home run totals of 51, 40, 54, 47 and 42, becoming only the second player in history — Babe Ruth was the first — to hit at least 40 home runs in five consecutive seasons, and the third (after Ruth and Jimmie Foxx) to hit 100 over two consecutive seasons.

His short career, along with his longtime residence at the bottom of the standings, perhaps explains Kiner’s relative lack of recognition. When he was finally elected to the Hall of Fame, in 1975, his 15th and final year of eligibility, he sneaked in with 273 votes

out of a possible 362, two more than needed for election.

His courtship of tennis star Nancy Chaffee, winner of three consecutive national indoor championships, was avidly chronicled by gossip columnists. Their engagement was announced on the radio by Walter Winchell before Kiner actually proposed, and shortly after their marriage, in 1951, the bride wrote an article for The Saturday Evening Post (as told to Al Hirshberg) with the headline “Why I Married Ralph Kiner.”

Kiner and Chaffee had three children in a 17-year marriage that ended in divorce in 1968. Chaffee later married sportscaster Jack Whitaker; she died in 2002. Kiner’s second marriage, to Barbara George, also ended in divorce. A third marriage, to DiAnn Shugart, ended with her death in 2004.

His survivors include his sons Ralph and Scott; his daughters Kathryn Chaffee Freeman, Tracey Jansen and Kimberlee Manzoni; and 12 grandchildren.

Ralph McPherran Kiner was born in Santa Rita, N.M., on Oct. 27, 1922. His father, a baker, died when Ralph was 4, and he moved with his mother, Beatrice, a nurse, to Alhambra, Calif., where he grew up playing ball. He signed with the Pirates after graduating from high school, playing two seasons and part of a third in the minor leagues before training as a Navy pilot during World War II. He served in the Pacific, assigned to search for Japanese submarines, though he acknowledged he did not see combat — or much else.

Richard Goldstein contributed to this report.

2AAAA: Top seed might depend on playoff Continued from Page B-1 got a buzzer-beating basket from Kaitlyn Romero and strolled out of Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium with a dramatic 48-47 victory. It snapped Santa Fe High’s 19-game win streak.

It’s also a win that tosses a monkey wrench into the top-heavy District 2AAAA race. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Demonettes (20-2, 4-1) and Española Valley (17-5, 4-1) are in a flat-footed tie atop the standings.

That said, here’s another bit of fortune telling: The magic 8-ball says get ready for a winner-take-all playoff to determine the district tournament’s top seed on Feb. 24. If the two remain tied through the end of the regular season, they will meet at a neutral site for 2AAAA’s top seed.

“There’s a lot riding on games like this, like any kind of playoff we have,” said Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez.

“The girls know that. [Española] knows it.”

The Lady Sundevils needed plenty of good fortune to win Friday’s game. Trailing 45-38 with 1:40 left, they began their rally when Ashlynn Trujillo converted a driving layup that, at the time, appeared to be little more than cosmetic finishing on a game

that was Santa Fe High’s to lose.

Romero followed 4o seconds later with a baseline 3-pointer, then Trujillo drained a free throw with 21 seconds remaining to cut the Demonettes’ lead to 45-44.

“On the board before the game, I put ‘32 minutes, not 31 minutes, 59 seconds,’ ” said Española Valley head coach Ray Romero.

“If we were going to win a game like this, every second counted. When we were down like that late in the game, I knew everything mattered.”

A pair of free throws by Herrera with 20 seconds remaining were answered by a low-post bucket from Trujillo, setting the stage for a wild finish. On an inbounds pass, Demonettes guard Bryanna Garcia was fouled and sent to the free-throw line for a one-and-one with 7.6 seconds left.

She missed the first and the rebound was cleared to Romero. She reached midcourt with approximately 3 seconds left when officials stopped the clock at 2.3 because Ray Romero called a timeout.

After a brief discussion, the referees put 5.0 seconds on the clock and allowed the Lady Sundevils to inbound the ball near the center stripe.

That’s when Romero’s fortunes lined up perfectly.

“I knew I had to do something with it because there wasn’t much time left, so I was going to take a jumper until I saw I had a screen,” she said. “It was a clear path. I just went in as far as I good and let it go.”

Dribbling inside the free-throw line from the top of the key, she let a 10-foot runner float over the Santa Fe High defense as the buzzer sounded. It’s a shot she’s practiced dozens of times with older brother Jeremy hounding her on defense.

“I learned that I have to get the shot up high if I don’t want it blocked,” she said.

Romero finished with 11 points while Trujillo had 17. Kayla Romero added 13.

Dominated on the glass most of the night thanks to the outstanding effort of Santa Fe High forward Andrea Gonzales, Española Valley was able to get the shots it wanted in the low post late in the game when Demonettes center Sabrina LozadaCabbage fouled out with four minutes left.

By her standards, it was an off night. One of the premier post players in the state, Lozada-Cabbage was held to eight points, five rebounds and two blocks.

Gonzales had 17 to lead Santa Fe High, which led for all but 16 seconds of the second half.

Cruise: Padilla leads Bobcats with 21 points Continued from Page B-1 27 points of the game and cruised to an 80-37 win to open their 4A season at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe. It wasn’t until Jonah Baca’s 3-pointer with 1:09 left in the opening quarter that the Alacranes finally got on the scoreboard, and then they proceeded to score the next nine points in an unusual first half that didn’t see the teams exchange points until the final seconds before halftime.

Until McCurdy’s Daniel Arroyo matched Baca’s layup with a free throw at :05.9 in the second quarter to make it 48-14, the scoring runs went like this: u McCurdy (13-8 overall) scored the first 27 points; u Tierra Encantada (13-8, 1-1) had the next nine; u the Bobcats followed with a 14-point run; u then the Alacranes hit three free throws before

McCurdy scored six straight for a 47-12 margin.

Tierra Encantada had the Bobcats’ attention with a convincing 76-43 win over Coronado to open its district season on Thursday, but Alacranes head coach Mark Archuleta knew better. He saw a team filled with overconfidence at a 13-7 start to the season.

“They had never seen this part, and I had been telling them about it,” Archuleta said.

“I guess they didn’t believe me.

It makes a big difference. I’ve been around a little bit. I’ve seen it, but these guys have never seen that kind of intensity.

“But it’s good to get your butt kicked by a good team once in a while. It brings you down to reality.”

The reality was that the Alacranes were ill-equipped for McCurdy’s intensity and its full-court press. They committed nine turnovers in the

first quarter, 17 by the half and started the third quarter by turning the ball over six straight times.

“We’ve used that press all year,” said McCurdy senior wing Dennis Padilla, who scored a team-best 21 points. “It was pretty effective this game.

We’ve had a couple of games where it works pretty good.”

Arroyo added 17 points for the Bobcats, while Isaiah Vigil had 14, including a secondquarter streak in which he scored 11 straight points.

Tierra Encantada was led by Andrew Vanderbilt’s 10 points.

Webber: 1 month to go Continued from Page B-1 cranky janitors who can’t go home until the scribes are done.

The heart of the tournament actually begins March 11, when the entire event shifts to the Albuquerque metro area. By midweek, it’s largely contained to The Pit. By then, we are absolutely buried in basketball. Conference tournaments for the Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences get underway at the same time, just

like more than a dozen others around the country.

After every loss, there are tears and slammed locker doors. After every win comes a sigh of relief and a frenzied fan base that grows louder and deeper by the second.

By the end, all that’s left is the drama that sticks with us through the years. The last-second wins, the heartbreaking losses, the blown calls by the blind refs. It’s what the entire tournament is all about.

And it all begins in one month.

St. Michael’s only trailed 32-20 after three quarters, but managed just four points the rest of the way. Cristian Gabaldon had seven points to lead the Lady Horsemen, while Olivia Lewis paced Hope with 13.

A-Rod drops MLB lawsuits NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez has accepted his season-long suspension from Major League Baseball, the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performance-enhancing drugs.

Rodriguez withdrew his lawsuits against Major League Baseball, Commissioner Bud Selig and the players’ association to overturn his season-long suspension on Friday. The notices of dismissal were filed in federal court in Manhattan.

Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games last Aug. 5 for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract, and arbitrator Fredric Horowitz cut the penalty on Jan. 11 to 162 games plus the 2014 postseason. Rodriguez sued two days later.

BIATHLON

United States’ Burke takes aim at history

By Rick Maese

The Washington Post

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — In an Olympics already beset by terrorist threats and security concerns, Tim Burke showed up armed and ready.

Burke’s personal condition has been less than ideal in recent weeks, but he can report that his German-made 22-caliber Anschutz rifle arrived safe and sound.

There’s always that brief moment at baggage claim where Burke isn’t quite sure. As a biathlete, Burke totes his gun around the world for competition, not protection, but he’s still had the weapon confiscated at times, caught up in red tape other times or even lost in transit completely.

“We’re all set. Everything has been very smooth,” he said this week, shortly after emptying several rounds during a training session.

Truth is, the gun has been the least of Burke’s worries in the weeks leading up to his third Olympic Games. He had hoped to come here and challenge for the podium. The United States has never won an Olympic medal in the biathlon, and Burke once again represents the Americans’ best hope. But sickness has hampered his recent training and forced Burke to withdraw from the last two World Cup events. Thursday marked his first serious training session in more than two weeks.

He’s expected to compete in six events at these Winter Games, and Saturday’s 10-kilometer sprint might be his best shot at a medal. But even he has no idea what to expect.

“I can say this, I’m more rested than I’ve ever been before something like this,” Burke said with a chuckle.

The picturesque biathlon course is located on a peak in the Western Caucasus. The elevation is nearly 5,000 feet, which could prompt heavier breathing than some loweraltitude courses. Biathlon combines cross-country skiing and shooting, which means steadiness is key. Heavy breathing and a high heart rate leads to missed targets.

To prep for the altitude, the U.S. team trained last month in Northern Italy near the Austrian border, but Burke missed out on most of it. He felt he had a great offseason, training around Lake Placid, N.Y., and enjoyed a good start to the World Cup season, reaching the podium in his second race of the year. But since Christmas, Burke has been hit with a stomach virus, then a cold, then a sinus infection.

He knows the curtailed Olympic training could impact his speed in these Winter Games,

but he hopes his experience carries him through. Burke, 32, grew up near Lake Placid, has competed in biathlon since he was a teenager and has seen a bit of everything in the sport.

Entering the 2010 Olympics, Burke had become the first American to lead the World Cup standings, and big expectations accompanied him to the Vancouver Games. His results: a 45th-place finish, then a 47th, followed by a 46th and finally an 18th.

“That was the first time I really experienced a lot of attention from the U.S. media,” he said. “It was something I totally wasn’t used to. I feel like I did a bad job dealing with that. I got a little bit caught up in the story. I kind of lost focus of the things that helped me be successful and I focused more on the results.

“Now I’m just totally focused on the same exact things as when I’m in any other competition — the things that make me successful in the World Cup are what will make me successful here. That means not thinking about the results.”

Burke finished 10th in the 2012-13 World Cup overall standings and last year took silver in the men’s 20-kilometer individual race at the World Championships, making him the first American to reach the podium there in more than a quarter-century.

In a sport of intense discipline and sharp focus, Burke knows he can’t fret about things out of his control. As he navigates his way through six races these next couple of weeks, Burke also knows there’s a bit of a dark cloud hanging over his sport.

The International Biathlon Union recently announced the suspensions of a Lithuanian and two Russian biathletes, one of whom — Irina Starykh — was considered a medal contender for the host country.

The sport is an important one here and the national biathlon team is headed by Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire who also own the Brooklyn Nets.

Just as competitors prepared to take the biggest stage, the suspensions embarrassed the host nation and encouraged doubt and suspicion.

“It’s very disappointing to hear,” Burke said. “I’d hoped we were past that. When you see that going on with one of the biggest teams, that raises a red flag for everybody.

“Yes, it’s encouraging that they got caught, but they knew they’d be taking those tests. Clearly, they think they’re capable of beating them. It makes you wonder who exactly is beating them?”

SOChI NOTEBOOK Lactose intolerance: About 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt from Team USA sponsor Chobani isn’t getting to Sochi because of a customs dispute.

U.S. halfpipe skier Aaron Blunck said that for traveling athletes, getting food from home is part of feeling fit and healthy. Russian authorities say the U.S. Department of Agriculture has refused to provide a certificate required for dairy products.

And you thought short track was only in speedskating: Norwegian skiers thought the biathlon track was too short, and they were right. The loop at the Laura Cross-Country Ski and Biathlon Center should measure 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles), but

they had to add 40 meters (130 feet). The venue hosted a World Cup biathlon event last year, but the shape of the course has been modified since.

The first five medals at Sochi will be awarded Saturday: The men’s 5,000-meter speedskating, where Sven Kramer of the Netherlands opens defense of his Olympic title; the men’s 10-kilometer sprint in biathlon; the women’s moguls, the men’s slopestyle final; and the women’s 15-kilometer skiathlon, where Marit Bjorgen of Norway, the most successful athlete of the Vancouver Games with three golds, a silver and a bronze, leads a strong Norwegian team.

SNOWBOARDING

Bright takes on triple In unprecedented move, Australian to compete in all three Olympic events

By Will Graves

The Associated Press

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia t sounded like a prank, if Torah Bright’s friends can be honest.

When the defending Olympic halfpipe champion announced a year ago she was planning for an unprecedented snowboarding triple in Sochi, it seemed a little overly ambitious, even for Australia’s answer to Shaun White.

Halfpipe, slopestyle and snowboardcross in the same Olympics?

“I thought it was a joke at first,” Canadian snowboarder Mercedes Nicoll said.

“Then I saw her with her boardercross boards and I was like ‘What are you doing?’ and she just said ‘Oh, just keeping busy.’ ” It doesn’t seem so funny now, not with Bright already assured of a berth in the women’s slopestyle final on Sunday and spots in halfpipe and snowboardcross awaiting her later in the Games.

It’s not unusual for snowboarders to crisscross between slopestyle and halfpipe. White was planning on competing in both before a jammed wrist and concerns

I

about course safety forced him to bail on slopestyle 18 hours before the sport made its Olympic debut.

But this is different. If halfpipe is art and slopestyle is music, where artistic impression and imagination are paramount, snowboardcross is MMA fighting — the place to let your id run loose as you hurtle down the mountain alongside five others desperate to beat you to the finish line.

Ask her why she’s taking on all three at once and not just saving snowboardcross for the time in her life when halfpipe and slopestyle have lost their allure and the 27-year-old Australian turns philosophical.

“It’s an Olympic journey done my way,” Bright said. “It’s been a year of self-exploration. I had to challenge myself more than I ever have on my snowboard, mentally and physically switching between three disciplines.”

For Bright, this isn’t about ego, or brand building. This isn’t even about showing older brother Ben — who serves as her coach and dared her to pull off the triple — that she can do it.

This is about pushing boundaries, most of them internal.

Since the chilly February night four years ago when she left Cypress Mountain with a gold medal around her neck, she’s been married and divorced, dealt with concussion-like symptoms that lingered for months and tried to figure out where to go next with her life.

The answer: anywhere she wanted.

“I was having people tell me, ‘Why bother? Just go back and defend your gold medal,’ ” she said. “Snowboarding to me isn’t about the accolades. It isn’t about competing. I do it because I love to snowboard, not because I love to compete.”

It’s a testament to her talent that she remains a contender in halfpipe and slopestyle despite limiting her time in both over the last year to focus on snowboardcross.

She trounced the field — including top American Kelly Clark — in a halfpipe event in Colorado in December. She ended up second in her slopestyle qualifying on Thursday with a score that could have gone higher if the moment required.

Yet the odds of leaving Sochi with three golds are slim. Her best snowboardcross finish is an eighth in a World Cup event last month. For all her remarkable athleticism, she’s still learning how to deal with the unpredictable nature of racing alongside someone else.

She doesn’t really care. If she doesn’t reach the podium, so what? While Bright understands the burden White faces while trying to win gold in the third straight Olympics, she just doesn’t feel it herself.

Press her on if she considered following White’s lead and focusing on her strengths instead of risking failure, she laughs.

“No way,” she said. “I’m going to have a hell of a time.”

And that’s the point.

Start: Hiccup disrupts symbolic moment Continued from Page B-1 games since the Putin won them amid controversy seven years ago, were stoked during the ceremony itself. A passenger aboard a flight bound for Istanbul said there was a bomb on board and tried to divert the plane to Sochi. Authorities said the plane landed safely in Turkey, and the suspected hijacker — who did not have a bomb — was subdued.

The show opened with an embarrassing hiccup, as one of five snowflakes failed to unfurl into the Olympic rings as planned, forcing organizers to jettison a fireworks display and disrupting a highly symbolic moment.

That allowed for an old Soviet tradition of whitewashing problems to resurface, as state-run broadcaster Rossiya 1 substituted a shot during from a rehearsal with the rings unfolding successfully into their live broadcast.

Also missing from the show: Putin’s repression of dissent, and inconsistent security measures at the Olympics, which will take place just a few hundred miles away from the sites of a long-running insurgency and routine militant violence.

And the poorly paid migrant workers who helped build up the Sochi site from scratch, the disregard for local residents, the environmental abuse during construction, the pressure on activists, and the huge amounts of Sochi construction money that disappeared to corruption.

Some world leaders purposely stayed away, but U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon and dozens of others were in Sochi for the ceremony. He didn’t mention the

very real anger over a Russian law banning gay “propaganda” aimed at minors that is being used to discriminate against gay people.

But IOC President Thomas Bach won cheers for addressing it Friday, telling the crowd it’s possible to hold Olympics “with tolerance and without any form of discrimination for whatever reason.”

For all the criticism, there was no shortage of pride at the ceremony in what Russia has achieved with these games, after building up an Olympic Park out of swampland. The head of the Sochi organizing committee, Dmitry Chernyshenko, captured the mood of many Russians present when he said, “We’re now at the heart of that dream that became reality.”

“The games in Sochi are our chance to show the whole world the best of what Russia is proud of,” he said. “Our hospitality, our achievements, our Russia!”

The ceremony presented the Putin’s version of today’s Russia: a country with a rich and complex history emerging confidently from a rocky

two decades and now capable of putting on a major international sports event.

Putin himself was front and center, declaring the games open from his box high above the stadium floor. Earlier, he looked down as the real stars of the games — those athletes, dressed in winter wear of so many national colors to ward off the evening chill and a light dusting of man-made snow — walked onto a satellite image of the earth projected on the floor, the map shifting so the athletes appeared to emerge from their own country.

As always, Greece came first in the parade of nations.

Five new teams, all from warm weather climates, joined the Winter Olympians for the first time. Togo’s flagbearer looked dumbstruck with wonder, but those veterans from the Cayman Islands had the style to arrive in shorts!

The smallest teams often earned the biggest cheers from the crowd of 40,000, with an enthusiastic three-person Venezuelan team winning roars of approval as flagbearer and alpine skier Antonio Pardo danced and jumped along to

the electronic music.

Only neighboring Ukraine, scene of a tense and ongoing standoff between a pro-Russian president and Westernleaning protesters, could compete with those cheers.

That is, until the Russians arrived.

Walking in last to thunderous ovations from the crowd, the Russians reveled in the attention. Their feeling could perhaps best be summed up by Russian singers Tatu, whose hit “Not Gonna Get Us” accompanied them to their seats.

Russians place huge significance in the Olympics, carefully watching the medal count — their dismal 15-medal performance in Vancouver four years ago is on the minds of many.

As Churikova rallied the crowd to scream “louder than ever,” she told audience members their keepsakes from the night would last 1,000 years.

When explaining the show would be hosted in English, French and Russian, she joked that it didn’t matter, because in Sochi, everyone “speaks every language in the world.”

Viewers of the Olympic ceremony romped through the wonders of Russian cultural and scientific achievements — from Malevich’s avant-garde paintings to Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, from Mendeleev’s periodic table of elements to Soviet “firsts” in space.

Capping it all off, Russian hockey great Vladislav Tretiak and three-time gold medalist Irina Rodnina joined hands to light the Olympic cauldron.

He’s often called the greatest goaltender of all time by those who saw him play; she won 10 world pairs figure skating titles in a row.

NEW YORK eryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Ethan Hawke, Brian Dennehey, Amy Adams and Ellen Burstyn were among the stars who paid their respects Friday at a private funeral for Philip Seymour Hoffman that combined sadness and humor to honor an actor widely considered among the best of his generation.

The coffin holding Hoffman’s body was brought out of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola by pallbearers and put in a hearse as family and guests began to stream out Friday afternoon. Streep hugged Diane Sawyer as they left.

“He left an enormous amount of love behind. It’s a terrible loss,” said Jose Rivera, a playwright whose work has been produced by Hoffman’s LAByrinth Theatre Company.

He said the service was loving and simple, with people sharing their memories of Hoffman and laughing. “It was quite beautiful and heartfelt and sincere, and everybody had a lot to remember, in terms of Phil,” Rivera said.

The list of mourners also included Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore, Joaquin Phoenix, Louis C.K., Mary Louise Parker, John Slattery, Laura Linney, Jerry Stiller, Chris Rock, Marisa Tomei, Spike Lee and Sawyer’s husband, the director Mike Nichols. Playwright David Bar Katz, who found Hoffman’s body, was visibly upset as he arrived.

“Phil was a lovely guy, a great artist,” said Lee, who directed Hoffman in The 25th Hour. “I was only able to work with him one time, but I love him and, a big loss, a big loss.”

Hoffman, 46, was found dead Sunday of an apparent heroin overdose in his apartment. He leaves behind his partner of 15 years, Mimi O’Donnell, and their three children. O’Donnell was seen cradling their youngest child as she entered the church.

Police did not allow anyone to linger on the block outside the church, and the media was penned in an area far from the mourners.

A larger memorial service

M

is being planned for later this month. On Thursday evening, family and close friends gathered for a private wake at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan.

The rumpled, heavy-set Hoffman was known to dive into roles and was nominated for Academy Awards four times: for The Master, Doubt, Charlie Wilson’s War and Capote, which he won.

He also received three Tony nominations for his work on Broadway, which included an acclaimed turn in 2012 as the weary and defeated Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman.

The theater community mourned the actor Wednesday with a candlelit vigil outside his beloved LAByrinth company downtown and with Broadway’s marquee lights turned off for a minute.

More tests are needed to determine what exactly killed Hoffman, who was found with a syringe in his arm and what authorities said were dozens of packets of heroin in his apartment. Autopsy results were inconclusive, authorities said this week.

Hoffman spoke candidly over the years about past struggles with drug addiction.

After 23 years sober, the versatile actor reportedly checked himself into rehab for 10 days last year after relapsing in 2012.

Amid an investigation into Hoffman’s death, three people have been arraigned on drug charges, including one who is facing a felony charge of heroin possession with intent to sell. Lawyers for the three people charged vigorously denied their clients had any role in Hoffman’s death.

Many of those who attended the funeral had professional ties to Hoffman. He and Blanchett co-starred in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Burstyn and Hoffman were in Red Dragon, and Hawke co-starred with Hoffman in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. Slattery directed Hoffman in his new film God’s Pocket, and Nichols directed Hoffman on Broadway in Death of a Salesman. Phoenix shared the screen with Hoffman in The Master. Adams starred with him in Doubt.

Clint Eastwood saves golf director from choking

By Doug Ferguson

The Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National ProAm — lifesaver.

Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese.

The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center.

“I was drinking water and eating these little appetizers, threw down a piece of cheese and it just didn’t work,” John said Friday. “I was looking at

him and couldn’t breathe. He recognized it immediately and saved my life.”

Eastwood is a prominent figure at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, formerly as an amateur contestant and now as chairman of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation.

It has raised more than $100 million for charity as the host of the PGA Tour event.

The Hollywood star wasn’t expecting an additional duty this week.

“I looked in his eyes and saw that look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their eyes,” Eastwood said. “It looked bad.”

He said it was the first time he had used the Heimlich maneuver.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your imagination takes you to places that might not be realistic. Tonight: Try a new experience, a new type of cuisine or a different social scene.

Caregiver grandson also deserves a life Dear Annie: I am a live-in caregiver for my grandmother, who is in failing health. She has five children (including my father) who do absolutely nothing for her because they say Grandma is a mean, nasty person, which she is. Grandma feeds off of negativity and gossip. Nothing is ever good enough, and she blames everyone else for her own failings.

I go out of my way to do things to make Grandma’s life easier, and it is either never good enough or she just doesn’t care. It has brought me to tears. I have threatened to move out numerous times, but then Grandma walks on eggshells until the dust settles, and everything goes back to the way it was.

I am at the end of my rope. But I also have a conscience and am afraid that if I move out, her children will rip her out of her home and slam her into an assisted living center, and that would be the end because no one else would step up to take care of her.

— Frustrated Charles Dear Charles: You are a caring grandson, but please don’t let Grandma blackmail you into a situation that is no longer tenable.

Does Grandma have money to pay a caregiver? Would your aunts and uncles be willing to help foot the bill in order to have Grandma cared for without their direct involvement?

Look into the cost of hiring someone to live in the home, which Grandma may prefer. But also check out senior housing, including assisted living options. Many of them are excellent places that offer activities and friendships. You can visit often. Grandma undoubtedly will complain about the change, but she will get used to it and may even come to like it. You deserve to have a life, too.

Dear Annie: Could you please inform your female readers that we are tired of seeing their behinds because they refuse to buck a fashion trend that has been forced on them?

I am talking about hideous low-cut jeans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could see a matter differently from how a close loved one sees it. Be aware of the implication of a gift to a loved one.

Tonight: Go along with already established plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your workaholic side takes over and pushes you to finish up a project. Several people who miss you might make an effort to distract you. Tonight: Make some calls before you decide.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be more playful, and express your innate childishness. You delight others when you are spontaneous and emotional rather than strictly intellectual. Tonight: Help others enjoy themselves.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your efforts will make a big difference to a friend. You even might affect a gettogether in a positive way. People know where you stand, as you are open about your feelings. Tonight: Out on the town.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Feb. 8, the 39th day of 2014. There are 326 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Feb. 8, 1974, the last three-man crew of the Skylab space station, consisting of Jerry Carr, Bill Pogue and Edward Gibson, returned to Earth after spending 84 days in space.

(Skylab remained in orbit another five years before plunging to its destruction in 1979.)

Hocus Focus

Young women have been misled to think that jeans that sit at the natural waist and don’t show your assets are “mom jeans,” which is supposed to make them sound undesirable. But listen up: It’s a marketing ploy to sell more jeans. Women need to wake up and take a good, hard look at themselves. — Sick of Seeing It in Indy Dear Sick: The desperate need to look young and hip afflicts a great many women, regardless of size and age. (Men, too.) The reason marketing works is because people believe the hype. If you are convinced you look terrific with your rear end hanging out, you will continue to wear jeans that achieve that. But we agree they are not flattering. Of course, we still can’t figure out why young men think it looks cool to have to hold up their pants with one hand because otherwise they would fall to their ankles. To each his own.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, we took our 10-year-old grandson, a voracious reader, to visit the National Archives in Washington, D.C. As we proudly looked intently at the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation, my grandson looked up at me and asked, “What does it say?” Why would the people of this country think it is worth millions of dollars to protect documents that our children cannot read? Surely our schools can find a way to teach children to read historic documents that were carefully written in beautiful cursive writing. And then we, the grandparents, can go back to writing birthday notes to our grandchildren. — Grandpa in South Dakota

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might want to see a personal issue resolved, yet no matter what you do, the other party seems unwilling. Tonight: How about a good old-fashioned date?

Cryptoquip

Unless you are model thin, it’s hard to look good in these jeans. And if something hangs over, they’re not for you, period. Do women have no sense anymore? It is disgusting to see someone’s behind hanging out of their pants.
