Jean Cocteau owner chastises ‘cowardice’ over hacker threats By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

In contrast to major movie theater chains’ reluctance to show a comedy that parodies North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Santa Fe resident and Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is offering to screen the film George R.R. at the Jean CocMartin teau Cinema. The Interview, staring Seth Rogen and James Franco, has been pulled from every major theater chain because of threats of terrorist attacks by computer hackers linked to the North Korean government, which led Sony Pictures Entertainment to cancel the film’s Dec. 25 release. “For what it’s worth, the Jean Cocteau Cinema will be glad to screen THE INTERVIEW (assuming that Sony does eventually release the film for theatrical exhibition, rather than streaming it or dumping it as a direct-toDVD release), should it be made

Laurence Longwell, 29, was reported missing Friday after he didn’t show up for work at Santa Fe Community College. The search has focused on trails around the Santa Fe ski basin, where his car was found abandoned.

CIA mole held since 1996 after helping ID Cuban agents in America By Mark Mazzetti, Michael S. Schmidt and Frances Robles The New York Times

WASHINGTON — He was, in many ways, a perfect spy — a man so important to Cuba’s intelligence apparatus that the information he gave to the CIA paid dividends long after Cuban authorities arrested him and threw him in prison for nearly two decades.

BREAKING NEWS AT WWW.SANTAFENEWMEXICAN.COM

State Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, was filling his car’s tank at a convenience store gas pump one day several years ago when he saw a man walk out with a plastic bottle of cola and two Jack Daniel’s miniatures. Egolf said he watched as the man poured himself a Jack and Coke and got into his car. The man blew Brian Egolf into his ignition interlock — mandatory in New Mexico after a drunken-driving conviction — and drove off. Egolf alerted authorities but has no idea if the man was ever picked up by police for drinking and driving. The experience gave him an idea, he said: What if the man’s driver’s license indicated he was not allowed to buy alcohol? If the clerk had asked to see such an ID before selling the man whiskey, the man might have been denied — or he might not have attempted to buy alcohol at all, Egolf figured. This month, Egolf pre-filed a bill that would allow the state Motor Vehicle Division or a court to prohibit alcohol purchases by people driving on an ignition interlock license. Normally, a driver’s license is revoked after a person is found guilty of driving drunk. In order to legally drive, the person must obtain an ignition interlock for his or vehicle and a restricted license. Under Egolf’s bill, the license also would clearly specify that the person is prohibited from purchasing alcoholic beverages. The bill would apply not only to driver’s licenses but also to other identification cards used by people whose licenses have been revoked for DWI and

Dow industrials have best day in three years Bullish earnings from tech giant Oracle drives the rally By Steve Rothwell The Associated Press

NEW YORK he Dow Jones industrial average had its biggest surge in three years Thursday, its second straight tripledigit gain following the Federal Reserve’s reassurance that it was in no hurry to raise interest rates. Bullish earnings from technology giant Oracle also drove the rally, which has helped stocks erase an early-December slump. Industrial and health care stocks also logged big gains. Even the energy sector advanced, despite another drop in the price of oil. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Wednesday that she foresaw no rate hike in the first quarter of 2015. The comments eased concerns that policymakers would start raising interest rates at a time when growth outside the U.S. appears to be flagging. They also helped investors look past worries about the impact of a slumping oil price and turmoil in Russia, where the currency has slumped. “What we’re seeing is a move back to fundamentals,” said Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market strategist at Voya Investment Management. “Earnings continue to be good. The U.S. economy is continuing to do well.” The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 48.34 points, or 2.4 percent, to 2,061.23. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 421.28 points, also 2.4 percent, to 17,778.15. The Nasdaq Composite gained 104.09 points, or 2.2 percent, to 4,748.40. Oracle was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 index after it reported earnings late Wednesday that beat the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The company said its software and cloud revenue grew 5 percent. The stock rose $4.19, or 10.2 percent, to $45.35. The company’s advance helped

push up the tech sector 3 percent. Investors are betting that as the economy improves and unemployment continues to fall, companies will start to invest in technology to boost productivity. “Oracle has been out of favor for some time, and it’s probably about time it gets back in favor,” said Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer of First American Trust. Stocks rose sharply Thursday even as oil resumed its slide. The price of oil fell $2.36 to close at $54.11 a barrel, after rising as high as $58.71 in morning trading. Oil has plunged since June, when it peaked at $107 a barrel. Overproduction and weak demand are behind the fall in global oil prices. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oil, fell $1.91 to close at $59.27 in London. A rapid descent in oil prices was the catalyst for big losses on the stock market a week earlier. While falling oil prices are good for consumers, putting more money in their pockets by cutting gas prices, they are bad for energy companies. Oil has fallen almost 50 percent from a peak of $107 a barrel in June. U.S. government bond prices fell.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Thursday capped a swift and forceful response to an Associated Press investigation by signing into law a measure that bars suspected Nazi war criminals from receiving U.S. Social Security benefits. AP’s investigation, which was the impetus for the No Social Security for Nazis Act, found that dozens of former Nazis collected millions of dollars in retirement benefits after being forced to leave the United States. AP found that since 1979, at least 38 of 66 suspects removed from the United States kept their Social Security benefits. Many of these former Nazis got in to the U.S. after the war by lying about their pasts and eventually became U.S. citizens.

Colo. marijuana law challenged LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska and Oklahoma are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare Colorado’s legalization of marijuana unconstitutional. Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning announced Thursday that the states are seeking a court order to prevent Colorado from enforcing a measure that was approved by voters in 2012. Bruning says Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt also is a party to the lawsuit. The complaint alleges that Colorado’s Amendment 64 runs afoul of federal law. Washington state also has legalized marijuana, but Bruning says Nebraska isn’t suing over that law because it doesn’t share a border with Washington. Colorado Attorney General John Suthers says in a statement that the lawsuit is without merit. He says his office will vigorously defend the marijuana law in the U.S. Supreme Court.

U.N. seeks aid for Syria conflict The United Nations said Thursday that it was seeking $8.4 billion, more than the annual economic output of dozens of countries, to help nearly 18 million victims of Syria’s conflict during 2015. For the first time, the request, made at a donors’ meeting in Berlin, includes development aid for communities in neighboring countries that have been overwhelmed by the exodus of refugees. The development aid — for education, public health, public works and jobs — was an acknowledgment that the crisis may last many years, and that it has seriously disrupted the lives of non-Syrians outside the war zone.

Exposure to high levels of pollutants in third trimester raises risks

The Santa Fe New Mexican

DOW JONES RUSSELL 2000

In brief

Study: Autism linked to dirty air

Women who are exposed to high levels of air pollution during their third trimester of pregnancy may be twice as likely to have an autistic child, a study found. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health found the risk of autism rises in parallel with exposure to fine particulate matter during pregnancy, with the biggest effect occurring in the final months of gestation. The results appear in Thursday’s edition of Environmental Health Perspectives. The study, which started in 1989 and involved more than 100,000 nurses from across the U.S., will help researchers home in on the causes of autism and potential ways to prevent it, said Marc Weisskopf, a senior study author. “One of the unique aspects of the study we did is that it provides an even stronger piece of evidence for there being a causal effect,” said Weisskopf, an associate professor of environmental and occupational epidemiology at Harvard in Boston. “It’s really the pollution doing it.” Autism, thought to affect 1 in 68 children in the U.S., is typically diagnosed after behavioral changes start to develop before the age of 5. Recent studies suggest it may begin when certain brain cells fail to properly mature within the womb. Researchers focused on 1,767 children born from 1990 to 2002, including 245 diagnosed with autism. The design of the study and the results rule out many confounding measures that can create a bias, Weisskopf said. The fact that pollution caused problems only during pregnancy strengthened the findings, since it’s unlikely other factors would have changed markedly before or after those nine months, he said. The ultimate cause of autism remains a mystery. said Charis Eng, chairwoman of the Lerner Research Institute’s Genomic Medicine Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. While the Harvard study isn’t definitive and the findings could be coincidental, it’s not likely given the large size and the precise results, she said. It’s likely there is an inflammatory or immune system response to the pollution that reaches the fetus, Weisskopf said. His team is now exploring those biological pathways and mapping autism cases to see if there are any clusters.

Boston Putin: Financial problems temporary bomb Russian president makes first public on suspect comments state of the ruble appears in court By Denise Lavoie The Associated Press

BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev returned to court Thursday for the first time since he was arraigned in July 2013, and he received a shout of encouragement from the mother-in-law of a man who was shot and killed while being questioned by law enforcement after the bombings. Security was tight at the federal courthouse in Boston for Tsarnaev’s final pretrial conference. Tensions ran high, and one bombing victim had a testy exchange with protesters outside. During the brief court hearing, U.S. District Court George O’Toole Jr. made no rulings, saying he would rule in writing on pending motions, including the defense’s latest push to move the trial out of Boston. David Bruck, one of Tsarnaev’s lawyers, told the judge that the defense plans to file a motion to delay the trial, which is now scheduled to begin on Jan. 5 with jury selection. Bruck did not say how long of a delay the defense will seek. At one point, the mother-inlaw of Ibragim Todashev called out to Tsarnaev in Russian in the courtroom. Elena Teyer said she told him: “We pray for you. Be strong, my son. We know you are innocent.” Later, in English, she yelled to the law enforcement officers escorting her out of the room: “Stop killing innocent people. Stop killing innocent boys.” Tsarnaev never flinched or acknowledged the shouts. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 2013 marathon. Tsarnaev, who has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges, faces the possibility of the death penalty if he is convicted. Tsarnaev, 21, wore a black sweater and gray trousers and had a scruffy beard and a curly hairstyle similar to the one seen in earlier photos. He smiled to his attorneys and one patted him on the arm. The courtroom was packed with FBI agents, police who worked on the case and more than a dozen survivors and family members. Outside the courthouse, a man who lost his right leg in the bombings had a testy exchange with a small group of protesters holding signs supporting Tsarnaev and questioning whether authorities have proof that he is responsible for the bombings. Marc Fucarile held up his prosthetic leg and moved it back and forth toward the demonstrators, saying: “That’s proof right there.” One of the demonstrators said to Fucarile: “You should care that they get the right guy.” Fucarile replied: “Get a life, lady. Go to work.” At his last court appearance 17 months ago, Tsarnaev still bore signs of the bloody standoff with police that led to his capture and the death of his brother.

He also said Russia should try not to waste its $419 billion in currency reserves. The central bank has spent about $75 billion this year defending the ruble. Putin described the problems as rooted in external factors, including the drop of about 50 percent in oil prices this year and Western sanctions imposed over Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine.

Price: Rapid changes help protect the bottom line Continued from Page A-1 span of six hours on Amazon.com. She was so frustrated by the price fluctuations that she ended up not buying the coat on the site at all. “It’s definitely annoying,” said Senior, who lives in New Haven, Conn. “What exactly is making it go up and down?” The rapidly changing prices come as retailers struggle to achieve conflicting goals this holiday season. They want to appease deal-hungry shoppers with the ever-lower prices they’ve come to expect since the recession. But they also want to protect their bottom line, which is difficult to do because lower prices cut into profits. Retailers used to check prices of their rivals’ websites and then manually change the prices online. But that was a tedious task, and many stores made price changes only once a day. The idea of minute-by-minute monitoring of online prices started with Amazon.com, which for years has used its own software to do so. Scott Stanzel, an Amazon spokesman, said: “We have a cost structure that allows us to adjust our pricing quickly.” After years of losing customers to Amazon because of its ability to offer deep discounts, Wal-Mart and others have started following the online retailer’s lead. Eric Best, CEO of Mercent Corp., a software company that changes prices on 2 million products every hour, said the majority of his clients that include Office Depot, Guess and HSN Inc. make minute-by-minute pricing changes. For instance, on a recent Monday, the price of Beats Studio headphones fluctuated between $269.95 and $199.95 with four price drops and five price increases on Amazon.com. Likewise, the price of a Meyer’s 15-Piece Cookware Set went between $138.95 and $80.99 with three price drops and three price increases, according to Mercent. Best said prices during this holiday season were more volatile than usual because retailers were focused on preserving margins during a period in which they can earn an average of about 30 percent of their annual profits. The result, he said, is that prices on a dress can change several times in an hour. “All of this conspires to look like hotels and airline tickets,” he said. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. built its online price monitoring tool two years ago. And since overhauling its e-commerce business last summer, the world’s largest retailer now can make price changes in a few minutes for what used to take up to 24 hours. “We have the ability to make thousands of changes on any given day,” said Ravi Jariwala, a WalMart spokesman. Abt, a consumer electronics retailer in Chicago, started using online pricing software from a company called Market Track that tracks all of its products. It said over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, it changed prices on several hundred items each day. “This is the most efficient tool we have to gauge competition and adjust pricing,” said Jon Abt, the retailer’s president. All the price changing has made it difficult for shoppers to predict when they can get the lowest prices, said William Poundstone, author of Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value. After all, he said, retailers don’t know themselves. “It’s like high speed trading,” Poundstone said. “Sometimes, you lower the price. Then, you may raise it back up. The average consumer doesn’t understand it.” There are some predictable pricing patterns, though. Jenn Markey, vice president of marketing at 360pi, a price tracking company, says some stores time online price changes to reflect the behavior of customers. For example, some change prices on video games in the evenings instead of during the day. Shoppers also may recognize pricing patterns of specific retailers. Wal-Mart and Amazon tend to spread prices changes uniformly throughout the week, Markey said. Conversely, the majority of Sears online price changes happen on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Meanwhile, Costco makes a majority of its online price changes on Saturday and Sunday. Sears spokesman Brian Hanover said: “As with any retailer, pricing decisions are made based on a number of factors, including our continued goal of bringing the best values to our customers.”

DWI: Egolf says bill corrects error in past measure Continued from Page A-1 people who claim they don’t drive a car but still need a governmentissued ID to board planes and for other purposes. Although consuming alcohol is legal, it’s also legal to put conditions on the privilege of driving, such as requiring drivers to pass a test and follow the rules of the road, and mandating ignition interlocks for those guilty of drinking and driving. Being prohibited from drinking alcohol also is a standard condition

for an inmate’s release from prison on probation or parole. “If this keeps one person from making a bad decision that puts someone else in danger, it’s worth doing,” Egolf said. Tom Starke, chairman of the Santa Fe County DWI Planning Council, called Egolf’s House Bill 30 “absolutely fantastic.” He supported it in the last legislative session, when it passed the House and several Senate committees before the Legislature adjourned. The bill was not

approved because of a drafting error, Egolf said. That has been corrected in the new version of the bill. Identifying people who have DWIs by noting it on their driver’s license or identification card would mean that “if they are carded in a restaurant, bar or liquor store, [the clerk/server] would know they are not allowed to drink alcohol and hopefully would not sell it,” Starke said. If HB 30 passes, it would “reinforce good behavior required by the court and bring liquor establishments into the process of supporting

changing behavior,” Starke said. As with many of the weapons in the state’s arsenal for combating drunken driving, there are ways around this. DWI offenders could use a passport to verify their age or identity, for example. And many establishments don’t card all customers. A spokesman for the New Mexico Hospitality Retail Association said he hadn’t seen the bill and could not comment yet. “It’s not perfect, but it would catch a whole bunch of people who shouldn’t be drinking,” Starke said.

Scour: State team’s efforts frustrate man’s family Continued from Page A-1 over the weekend, then resumed its search Tuesday before halting again Wednesday evening. “We’ve found no further clues to continue,” said Bob Rodgers, resource officer for the team. “Nothing that says he went this direction or that direction.” Family members have said they were grateful for the help from authorities, but they have become frustrated that for the second time in less than a week, state police officials suspended searching in the area. Laurence “When we needed them on Longwell Monday, they weren’t there,” Kumara Wilcoxon, one of Longwell’s sisters, said Thursday morning while friends used maps to coordinate that day’s search. “We just don’t have the resources to do it on our own.” On the first day of the search, Saturday, authorities found footprints that might have been left by Longwell. However, weather has complicated their efforts. Snow fell in the area over the weekend, and another 8 inches fell Wednesday. With hope of finding him alive dwindling, family members Thursday were talking to friends of friends about hiring a helicopter and pilot to help with the search. Family and friends, meanwhile, have been posting missing-person fliers around the city and on the campus of Santa Fe Community College, where Longwell was a student and worked as a customer service representative in the information technology department. “It’s a hard thing for any family to go through this,” said Holly Agajanian, a family friend who has helped search for Longwell. “Especially that they have to deal with this during the holidays.”

Another of Longwell’s sisters, Sasha Wilcoxon, an employee of Thornburg Investment Management, said she has been grateful for the community’s support, including that of co-workers who took time off work Thursday to help. Art Valdez, a Santa Fe resident who was at the ski basin Thursday morning to assist in the search, said he decided to help after seeing a TV

news segment Wednesday night. He searched for about four hours Thursday morning. He found some carvings on a tree trunk and took pictures that he texted to Longwell’s family. “I just got a gut feeling that I needed to help,” he said. “I told my wife last night, ‘I got to go up there and help.’ ” In late July, Audrey Richman Kaplan, 75, of Dallas, went missing in the Winsor Trail area after becoming separated from her husband. Crews searched for Kaplan, who lived part-time in Santa Fe, for six consecutive days before her body was discovered. An autopsy later determined that she had died of hypothermia. In 2008, Rachel Fehl and her fiancé, Adam Putnam, survived a winter storm after they were lost for three days in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with temperatures as low as 18 degrees. The Placitas couple had gone up to the mountain to snowboard, news reports at the time said. Longwell’s mother, with whom he lives, reported her son missing last Friday after he didn’t show up at home following his work shift. She noticed Longwell had left his cellphone and wallet at home, so she thought he might have gone for a hike on trails nearby. Sasha Wilcoxon on Saturday found his abandoned car near the ski basin. State police described Longwell as 6-foot-5 and weighing about 200 to 240 pounds, with blue eyes, dark brown hair and a short beard. Longwell was last seen wearing a black jacket with white sleeves. Police asked that anyone with information on Longwell call 827-9300. Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@ sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @ ujohnnyg.

Spy: Could have faced execution Obama may go Continued from Page A-1 of a Cuban counterintelligence unit for the Defense Intelligence Agency from 1996 to 2004, said Sarraff had worked in the cryptology section of Cuba’s Directorate of Intelligence and was an expert on the codes used by Cuban spies in the United States to communicate with Havana. Sarraff’s family said he studied journalism at the University of Havana and had the rank of first lieutenant at the intelligence directorate. It is not clear when Sarraff, now 51, began working for the CIA. But, according to Simmons, once he did he passed encryption information to the CIA that led to the arrest of a number of Cuban agents operating in the United States. In his speech Wednesday, Obama referred to Sarraff as “one of the most important intelligence agents that the United States has ever had in Cuba,” someone who “provided America with the information that allowed us to arrest the network of Cuban agents that included the men transferred to Cuba today, as well as other spies in the United States.” Hours later, the director of National Intelligence, the head of the U.S. intelligence community, issued a statement saying the information from Sarraff — the statement did not name him — had helped the government arrest and convict several Cuban spies inside the United States. The convictions included a senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency named Ana Belén Montes; a former Department of State official, Walter Kendall Myers, and his wife, Gwendolyn Myers; and members of the Red Avispa network, or Wasp Network, in Florida. Jerry Komisar, who ran CIA clandestine operations in Cuba during the 1990s, said that “there were a number of people in the Cuban government who were valuable to the U.S., just as there were a number of people in the U.S. government who were helpful to the Cubans.” Simmons said Cuba’s spy service regularly communicated with its agents in America using

encrypted messages sent over shortwave radio. After Sarraff helped the United States crack the codes, he said, the FBI was able to arrest Cuban spies years after Sarraff was discovered and put in prison in Cuba. “When Roly was providing information, he was giving us insights about where there were weaknesses in the Cuban encryption system,” Simmons said. Cuban authorities arrested Sarraff in November 1995. According to members of his family, he went to work one day and never came home. Cuban officials told the family for more than a week that Sarraff was on a job in the country’s interior and would be back soon. According to Simmons, “had it not been for his parents being senior officials in the Cuban government, they would have executed him.” He was tried in 1996 for espionage, revealing state secrets and other acts against state security. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. “He [has] always maintained his innocence,” his sister, Vilma Sarraff, said by telephone from Spain. She said Sarraff’s daughter was 7 years old when he was arrested. Multiple news accounts in recent years have identified Sarraff as a former Cuban intelligence officer who had been imprisoned. The accounts named him as a possible candidate to be released if the United States and Cuba were ever to agree to a spy swap. He was mentioned briefly in a January 2008 State Department cable sent from a U.S. official in Cuba to various agencies in Washington, including the CIA. In the cable, part of the trove of documents made public by WikiLeaks, his name is on a list of political prisoners put together by a human rights group in Cuba. In 2011, a man identifying himself as Sarraff’s brother wrote a blog post saying that Sarraff had been in prison for 16 years. In the post, he recalled when his brother was arrested and that his parents were told that Sarraff was “accused of being a con-

fessed CIA agent.” But if Sarraff had in fact collaborated with U.S. intelligence agencies to help snare Cuban agents living in the United States, as the presidents of both countries suggested Wednesday, it was certainly not something he ever discussed with his family, Vilma Sarraff said. “If what they are saying is true, fine, he paid that debt with 20 years in prison,” she said. Vilma Sarraff said her brother was in solitary confinement for 18 years. An avid painter and poet, he was not permitted any painting supplies or other distractions. He was also denied parole, Vilma Sarraff said. She said her brother had been calling his family regularly from prison, but that they had not heard from him in several days. She said her family had been told Sarraff had been released from prison but had not heard directly that he was part of a prisoner exchange. She said she had no idea where he was. “They did not say where they had taken him,” she said, becoming irate. “How is it possible that they take my brother out of the country without telling his parents? My parents are at the point where my father is likely to have a heart attack!” With Wednesday’s exchange of imprisoned spies and the leaders of the United States and Cuba talking in a substantive way for the first time in more than 50 years, some people who were part of the spy games between the two countries now wonder just how much it was worth it. Komisar, the former CIA officer, said in retrospect, there was little need for U.S. intelligence services to devote so much attention to Cuba. He said it was a country with a decrepit military that he said posed no strategic threat to the United States since the Soviet Union pulled its missiles off the island in 1962. He also said that after decades of cloak-and-dagger activities between the two countries, “at the end of the day I would call it a draw.” “You have to ask yourself, ‘to what end?’ ” he said.

it alone on lifting Cuba restrictions By Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael R. Gordon The New York Times

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will defy critics in Congress to defang the 54-year-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba, lifting restrictions on travel, commerce and financial activities as soon as next month, administration officials said Thursday. The moves are only the beginning of what White House officials and foreign policy experts describe as a sweeping set of changes that Obama can make on his own to re-establish commercial and diplomatic ties with Cuba even in the face of angry congressional opposition. “The embargo is a container — it’s been that way since President Eisenhower — that’s had regulations and laws put into it and taken out of it and mixed about,” said John Kavulich of the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council. “President Obama is saying, ‘I’m going to leave a shell, but it’s going to be a proverbial Easter egg — it’s going to be hollow.’ ” The Treasury Department will issue a series of regulations to ease agricultural exports and establish banking relations, administration officials said, and the Commerce Department will move to allow U.S. companies to export construction and telecommunications equipment, among other things. The State Department is also starting a review that could lead to Cuba’s removal from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, clearing away a major impediment to Havana’s ability to trade and access banking services around the world. Taken together, the actions will render the embargo “a lot more holes than cheese,” said Robert L. Muse, a Washington-based lawyer who specializes in U.S. laws relating to Cuba. “The president went big on this, and that produces a momentum of its own, so I expect that we’ll see these things go further and faster than anybody would have anticipated.” It is not clear when Obama might nominate an ambassador, a move that would set the stage for contentious confirmation hearings. “We would anticipate that we will have an embassy before we would make a nomination,” said Roberta S. Jacobson, the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs. White House officials said they had spent months determining how far Obama could go to unilaterally loosen restrictions on trade and financial transactions with Cuba, and concluded he had broad authority to do so without violating the embargo’s scope. Jacobson is to lead a team of U.S. officials to Havana near the end of January to discuss the restoration of relations as well as issues in carrying out a 1995 migration accord.

U.S. mulls cyberattack response Theater: Author Martin invites Rogen to ‘come to Santa Fe’ By Peter Baker

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — A White House official said on Thursday that the administration was considering a “proportional response” against those who hacked into Sony Pictures computers, a retaliation that could thrust the United States into a direct confrontation with North Korea. Officials would not describe what such a response might entail, but they stressed that the episode had become a major concern at the upper levels of government, including President Barack Obama, who lately has been discussing the issue with aides every day. “This is something that’s being treated as a serious national security matter,” Josh Earnest,

the White House press secretary, told reporters. “There is evidence to indicate that we have seen destructive activity with malicious intent that was initiated by a sophisticated actor.” U.S. officials have privately concluded that North Korea was “centrally involved” in the hacking even as Sony canceled the release of a comedy that features the fictional assassination of the North Korean leader, Kim Jung Un, and that apparently prompted the cyberattack. Earnest would not confirm the North Korean role at his daily briefing but he did not deny it either, saying that investigators would ultimately report on their findings. Earnest said the government did not tell Sony to pull the film, The Interview, and expressed support for the studio’s right to

make it, even if it would offend some viewers. “The United States stands squarely on the side of artists and companies that want to express themselves,” he said, “and we believe that that kind of artistic expression is worthy of expression and is not something that should be subjected to intimidation just because you happen to disagree with the views.” But he was vague about what kind of action the U.S. might take in response to the cyberattack and even hinted that it may be of a character that was hard to publicly detect. He added that the president and his team would take into consideration that its authors might be trying to stir a response to get attention, a calculation often imputed by Washington to North Korea’s mercurial leadership.

Inside N. Korea’s thriving cyberwar By Youkyung Lee The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — Most North Koreans have never seen the Internet. But the country Washington suspects is behind a devastating hack on Sony Pictures Entertainment has managed to orchestrate a string of crippling cyber infiltrations of South Korean computer systems in recent years, officials in Seoul believe, despite North Korea protesting innocence. Experts say the Sony Pictures hack may be the costliest cyberattack ever inflicted on an American business. The fallout from the hack that exposed a trove of sensitive documents, and this week escalated to threats of terrorism, forced Sony to cancel release of the North Korean spoof movie The Interview. The studio’s reputation is in tatters as embarrassing revelations spill from tens of thousands of leaked emails and other company materials. Despite widespread poverty, malnutrition and decades of crippling U.S.-led economic sanctions, Pyongyang has poured resources into training

thousands of hackers who regularly target bitter rival Seoul. North Korea’s cyberarmy: South Korea’s former spy chief and a North Korean defector put the number of professional hackers at between 1,000 and 3,000. These numbers from Seoul’s intelligence agency in 2010 and a leaked North Korean government document from 2009, which contained an order from late leader Kim Jong Il, may be outdated. But they agree that North Korea trains hackers at top schools to launch attacks on cyberspace mostly targeted at South Korea. Defector Kim Heung Kwang said he trained student hackers at a university in the industrial North Korean city of Hamhung

for two decades before defecting in 2003. Hackers also are sent to study abroad in China and Russia. In 2009, then-leader Kim Jong Il ordered Pyongyang’s “cybercommand” expanded to 3,000 hackers, Kim said, citing a North Korean government document that he obtained that year. Kim, who has lived in Seoul since 2004, believes more have been recruited since then, and some are based in China.

PHOENIX — An Arizona sheriff known for arresting hundreds of immigrants on charges of finding work using fake or stolen identities is planning to close the controversial squad that investigates such cases. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s decision to disband the criminal employment squad will end his last major foothold in immigration enforcement after the courts and federal government have gradually reined in his powers in recent years. Since 2008, Arpaio has raided 83 businesses, leading to more than 700 immigrants in the country illegally being charged with using fake or stolen IDs to get jobs. The raids have been criticized as focusing too heavily on the workers instead of employers. “Here is guy who abused these laws

and twisted them in such a sick way to do it for political gain. But I am glad that the reign over immigrants is over,” said Lydia Guzman, a civil rights advocate who documented many of Arpaio’s business raids and immigration patrols. The agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

The sheriff’s office announced the squad’s planned closure late Wednesday as part of a legal challenge to the immigrant ID-theft cases. The squad will close in January or February after it completes an investigation. A memo by a sheriff’s official said the agency will be voluntarily halting its workrelated ID theft enforcement and that the decision was made after the courts have shelved certain Arizona immigration laws. Annie Lai, one of the attorneys leading the challenge, said opponents of Arpaio’s raids will try to get prosecutors to stop bringing work-related ID theft cases against immigrants arrested by other metro Phoenix police agencies. The ID theft laws were part of a package of legislation that sought to confront employers who hire immigrants in the country illegally. Only one employer has been criminally charged in those investigations.

cially inside of Iraq, is continue to build those [Iraqi] capabilities. I think you’re at least talking a minimum of three years.” The Iraqi army wants to launch a counteroffensive to retake Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq, and the U.S. probably would help. While there have been some concerns that Iraq’s military may not be ready yet for such an ambitious operation, Hagel said.

LET’S KEEP NEW MEXICO’S DIRTY AND DANGEROUS COAL WHERE IT BELONGS:

IN THE GROUND.

TELL PNM THAT INVESTING IN THE SAN JUAN COAL MINE IS A POLLUTED IDEA. Before the end of the year, PNM may decide if it will purchase the San Juan coal mine from BHP Billiton, locking shareholders and ratepayers into decades of dependence on a risky, dirty fuel we cannot afford. Coal is a bad investment. Besides dangerous public health threats from air and water pollution, coal is fueling climate disruption here in New Mexico.

PUBLIC RALLY FOR CLEAN ENERGY Monday, January 5, 2015, 9 AM Public Regulation Commission 1120 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe

PNM can do better by investing in renewable energy, which continues to decline in costs compared to coal-burning. The Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce recently cited New Mexico as ranking second among the 50 states for daily solar radiation and in the top 10 for both wind and geothermal potential.

It’s time we move beyond dirty coal and embrace New Mexico’s clean energy future.

COMMENTARY: ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

Coal: Outlaw enterprise raises concerns

ast month, the coal industry in Appalachia suffered two legal blows. On Nov. 13, federal prosecutors in West Virginia announced that Donald L. Blankenship, the notorious former chief executive of the Massey Energy Co., once Appalachia’s biggest coal producer, was charged with widespread safety violations and deceiving federal inspectors. In 2011, the Mine Safety and Health Administration found that safety violations led to the 2010 explosion that killed 29 miners at the Upper Big Branch mine. Holding the head of a mining company responsible for such violations is an unprecedented move in the coal industry. Then, on Nov. 24, a Kentucky judge issued a scathing judgment against a Frasure Creek Mining settlement involving over 1,000 Clean Water Act violations and years of false data on pollutiondisclosure reports. Coal is an outlaw enterprise. In nearly every stage of its production, many companies that profit from it routinely defy safety and environmental laws and standards designed to protect America’s public health, property and prosperity. In fact, Blankenship once conceded to me in a debate that mountaintop removal mining could probably not be conducted without committing violations. With a business model like that, one that essentially relies on defiance of the law, it is no wonder that some in the industry use their inordinate political and economic power to influence government officials and capture the regulating agencies. Many news stories of Blankenship’s indictment alluded to the 2009 United States Supreme Court decision ordering a lower court in West Virginia to reconsider a $50 million judgment decided in favor of Massey, after Blankenship was discovered to have vacationed on the French

OUR VIEW

To heck with North Korea!

F Riviera with a justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court and to have donated $3 million to the campaign of another. These cases are only the most high-profile examples of a subversion of democracy in Appalachia, where the outsize influence and campaign donations of King Coal sway politicians and weaken agencies. In Kentucky and throughout the region, toxins, many of them potentially lethal, have leached from coal mine debris and illegally contaminated countless miles of rivers and streams. The Clean Water Act requires that coal companies report the toxic constituents of these discharges to state officials and the Environmental Protection Agency. Accurate self-reporting is the linchpin of the Clean Water Act. Nevertheless, environmental groups, including Appalachian Voices, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Kentucky Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper Alliance, of which I am president, found in 2010 that Frasure Creek and other

Kentucky coal companies had for years routinely filed false self-monitoring reports. The companies we monitored simply copied the numbers from old reports, changed the dates, and resubmitted the old data on new reports. This happened time after time, while enforcement agencies consistently failed to notice. When Waterkeeper Alliance and its allies took legal action and exposed the false reporting epidemic, the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, an agency charged with enforcing the Clean Water Act, moved to commandeer the cases, preempting the environmental groups. But instead of diligently prosecuting the cases, the cabinet secretly negotiated sweetheart settlements with some of the companies. The cabinet’s agreement with Frasure Creek would have settled the violations for about 1 percent or less of the maximum allowable penalties. The judge’s decision last month to throw out the

sweetheart deal between the Kentucky cabinet and Frasure Creek was a welcome development. “When one company so systemically subverts the requirements of law,” he wrote, “it creates a regulatory climate in which the cabinet sends the message that cheating pays.” The Kentucky judgment and the indictment of Blankenship are two steps in the right direction, but there is a long way to go. If we are to save Appalachia, we first need to save our democracy by getting the dirty money out of politics. As long as campaigns are fueled by donations from King Coal, state agencies and politicians in Kentucky and West Virginia will continue to be servile cogs in a destructive machine. That mechanism is uprooting America’s purple mountain majesty, poisoning its rivers and people, and destroying the communities of Appalachia. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote this piece for The New York Times and is the president of Waterkeeper Alliance.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Artist’s ‘Guadalupe’ image insults many

hame on you, Paz, and shame to the Eye of the Mountain Gallery owner Rachel Houseman (“Scantily clad ‘Guadalupe’ angers local Catholic activist,” Dec. 12) for painting and exhibiting a most disrespectful and insulting image of what is supposed be Our Lady of Guadalupe: How dare you! How about painting one of your own mothers naked for the world to see? Or better still — one of yourself with horns on. Disgusting.

Plain wrong Regarding the “scantily clad ‘Guadalupe’ ” — speaking as a baby boomer, I am painfully aware of the matter of our society’s moral compass plunging to all-time lows. However, after seeing this photo I’m pressed to wonder if anything remains sacred. It is just plain wrong and unnecessary, to depict the Virgin Mother in such a cheap and disrespectful context. Steve Knauer

Family standards?

Insensitive The Santa Fe New Mexican and the artist are equally culpable in gross insensitivity to Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12, her Feast Day, no less. The callous affront, not only to Our Lady but also to everyone who understands who she is, is shocking. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Mother of God, a one-of-a-kind creature of God especially prepared to be the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Only those individuals, profoundly ignorant of who she is and why she is universally loved, would have the hubris to desecrate her image and further publish it for public viewing, just because they can. Lorraine Rodriguez

Santa Fe

On Dec. 12 The Santa Fe New Mexican covered the allegedly controversial depiction of a painting of a partially nude Virgin of Guadalupe and included a photograph of the painting with the coverage. The next day, you state (Editor’s Note, A-2, Dec. 13) that the depiction should not have been displayed on the front page of a “family newspaper” and did not meet your standards. How did it meet your standards the day before and magically overnight somehow fail to meet them? Nothing changed except a lack of courage and likely pressure from religious groups. Sad to see the newspaper cave so quickly and apologize, in a passive, less than authentic manner, to curry favor. Further, how is the newspaper a “fam-

ily newspaper?” A newspaper is for the public at large, not only one age group. In keeping with your self-stated family newspaper values, you should put a G rating on the cover. Then, delete coverage of the 11 shots fired at van driver and CIA torture stories. Hypocrisy abounds. Jackie Berg

Respect beliefs I was dismayed while reading the article regarding the disgusting painting by Paz of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It would appear that Paz and gallery owner Rachel Houseman have received their 15 minutes of fame by defiling an image that is sacred to millions of people the world over. The lack of sensitivity shown by the artist in calling religion “mythology” is also demonstrated by his ignorance of the Catholic religion in calling the Virgin Mary a goddess — the Catholic Church has no goddesses, nor do we Catholics revere her as such. For him to take one of the most cherished icons of the Catholic Church and turn her into a sultry, sexy, slutty-looking image is an affront to all Catholics. Denigration of another’s beliefs is a major reason why the world is torn apart today. Lee Witt

rom all the previews we have seen, The Interview movie — featuring a plot to kill North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un — doesn’t look very funny. Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, it has the feel of a film whose two or three funny scenes are in the preview, leaving long stretches of silliness stringing the thing together. We anticipated a dud. Yet the plot has the closed society of North Korea furious, with threats made against the film’s studio, Sony. Now, theater chains backed away from showing the film, and its Christmas Day opening has been canceled. We would wager the cancellations are less about danger and more about theater owners smelling a dud. Still, in a country where free speech is valued — at least out loud — the spinelessness of studio and theater chains is appalling. We’re pleased to report that not all theater owners lack gumption. George R.R. Martin, noted writer and owner of his own theater, isn’t afraid of controversy. He’s invited Rogan to show The Interview in Santa Fe, at Martin’s Jean Cocteau Cinema. Writing on his LiveJournal, Martin rails, “The level of corporate cowardice here astonishes me. It’s a good thing these guys weren’t around when Charlie Chaplin made The Great Dictator.” He tells Rogan and Franco, “come to Santa Fe.” We hope they take Martin up on the invitation, perhaps in a double feature with Team America: World Police, another inapproriate North Korean-themed movie. Game of Thrones author Martin knows that free speech shouldn’t bow to threats, and that creative content — even when it appears to be lousy — should not have to bow to any dictator.

Going alternative

ith the last weekend before Christmas here, the shopping frenzy continues. Deals abound, with stores and online merchants enticing consumers to spend, spend, spend. But there’s an alternative, too, for those who want to do good as they spread good cheer. The fifth annual Santa Fe Community Alternative Gift Market takes place this weekend at DeVargas Center, starting from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. (The grand opening of the market will take place at 5:30 p.m. today, featuring Mayor Javier Gonzales and honorary market co-chairwoman Ali MacGraw.) Shoppers can buy gifts to use in Santa Fe, including clothing or bus passes for children. Or you might buy a coat for a woman at the Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families, or perhaps three days of intensive case management for a homeless veteran. Maybe a picture book for a child working with Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe, or a gas card for a Many Mothers volunteer who is working with new mothers. Then, for those with a global perspective, try bicycles for health care workers in Africa, or pregnant goats for Haitian families. Shoppers can find more than 60 local, national or international gifts among the selections. Over the years, the event has raised more than $100,000 for assistance to local and international charities. Shoppers simply have to show up and choose the perfect gift for that special someone. A greeting card sends the message about the gift, so the recipient knows that a gift has been given in their honor. This holiday season, share the joy by helping such worthy causes.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 19, 1989: A $75,000 house-arrest computer system that Santa Fe County officials hoped would save taxpayers thousands of dollars as an alternative to jailing offenders is doing little more than gathering dust. Only four prisoners have used the system since it was installed in early August. Part of the problem has been that judges generally aren’t sentencing inmates to the program. The system uses an electronic bracelet and an adapter connected to the inmate’s home telephone to keep track of his whereabouts.

istening to the first season of Serial, Sarah Koenig’s breakout truecrime drama, a spinoff of This American Life that’s become the most popular podcast in the history of the form, has been like observing a lo-fi but formidable space launch. All the parts have ticked and glistened. In Koenig, an unlikely star has been born. The story she’s intimately told over the course of 12 episodes has made plenty of us drive a bit wobblier (a lot of podcast listeners tap into their car stereos via Bluetooth) and feel the occasional tingle of campfire-narration awe. Yet stories, especially nonfiction murder inquiries like this one, require endings. A question has burned from the start: Would Koenig be able to guide Serial home — that is, would it arrive at resolution about the guilt or innocence of the imprisoned young man, Adnan Syed, at its center — or would it pull a slow fade into indeterminacy, like the Philae comet lander, which ditched in the shade and slowly lost battery power? On Thursday morning, our long national nightmare of suspense ended. The 12th and final episode of the first season of Serial beamed online at 6 a.m. For those who haven’t kept up, the Serial podcast is about a murder that happened almost 16 years ago in Maryland. Hae Min Lee, a smart, attractive and athletic senior at Woodlawn High School, disappeared after school on Jan. 13, 1999. Her body turned up almost a month later in a city park. She had been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boy-

Newsmakers Stephen Colbert vs. ‘Stephen Colbert’

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert left Comedy Central’s satirical political talk show The Colbert Report after nine years Thursday night. He will become host of the Late Show on CBS, replacing David Letterman in May. So ended the ‘‘Stephen Colbert’’ character he created — the outlandishly tongue-incheek conservative host who leapt from late-night TV to become a political and pop culture phenomenon. The actor and comedian first created his Colbert character in 1997 as a correspondent for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. The persona, described by the real Colbert as “self-important, poorly informed, wellintentioned but an idiot,” got his own show in 2005. The Colbert Report won four Emmys and two Peabody awards. In the first episode, “Stephen Colbert” coined the term “truthiness,” defining it as “truth that comes from the gut, not books.” The American Dialect Society and MerriamWebster named “truthiness” the word of the year. A study published this year by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found Colbert had more success explaining complex fundraising rules than traditional media. The Associated Press

friend, Syed, was popular, outgoing, a Woodlawn High homecoming prince. He was arrested in the crime and eventually sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years. The case against him was hardly airtight, but the key witness, a friend of Syed’s named Jay, said he had helped him bury Lee’s body in the woods. Syed has always maintained his innocence. Those are the basic facts, yet the story Koenig has told has been far more winding, complicated and offbeat. She’s poured through court testimony, cellphone records and police interrogation tapes. She has interviewed friends, family members, lawyers and forensic specialists. She has poked an array of holes in the state’s case, even finding a potential alibi that was overlooked in court. She took a deep dive into the Islamophobia that may have been at work in the case. Would the U.S.-born Syed, who is of Pakistani descent, have been convicted had he not been a Muslim? The sound Serial has made is a personal one, that of a smart woman puzzling it all out. Her hunch about this story, despite an inconclusive, Sopranos-like ending, has paid off. After an online fundraising effort, a second season is in the works. The backlash against Serial is sure to commence. Serial isn’t truly over. There’s still untested DNA evidence. Syed hopes for appeals. For now — although we are left bereft and a bit baffled by the ending of Serial — it’s pleasant to recall the way Koenig announced in Episode 4, “I’m going to try very hard not to bore you right now.” With few exceptions, she never did.

TOKYO — Complete with rationing and emergency airlifts, Japan has entered the great french fry shortage of 2014. McDonald’s on Wednesday began limiting french fry servings at its 3,200 Japanese stores to the smallest of the usual three sizes, blaming a shortage of processed potatoes from the United States. The problem has also affected other restaurant chains, as a dockworker dispute on the U.S. West Coast has reverberated across the Pacific Ocean. McDonald’s apologized to its customers in Japan with signs posted on cash registers and a message on its local website. “Because we are currently having difficulty stably procuring McDonald’s French fries, we are offering them in the small size only,” the note on the website said. Nobuhiro Abe, 34, an office worker grabbing a late lunch in the Shiodome district of Tokyo, said, “I just found out about it when I ordered, and I was surprised.”

He took it in stride and used his smartphone to download a discount coupon for 50 yen, or about 40 cents, that McDonald’s offered as compensation, putting the saving toward an apple pie. “It worked out pretty well in the end,” he said. McDonald’s has also cut by 50 yen the price of meals that normally come with a medium-size order of fries. The fry shortage stems from a long-running labor dispute at 29 U.S. seaports, where 20,000 longshoreman have been without a contract since July. Operators of the ports, which are all on the West Coast and handle about half of the U.S. foreign trade, have accused dockworkers of deliberately slowing shipments, although unions say the ports were strained by a lack of capacity to begin with. The dispute has been blamed for disrupting exports to Asia of other goods as well, like Christmas trees grown in the Pacific Northwest. But McDonald’s appears to have been especially hard hit. It remained unclear when the dockworkers dispute might be resolved.

Santa Fe judge unseals behavioral health audit Report details fraud, Medicaid overbilling allegations that led to removal of 15 providers in New Mexico By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

Portions of an audit report detailing the reasons for an abrupt shake-up in New Mexico’s behavioral health system that has been largely withheld from public view was ordered unsealed by a Santa Fe judge. However, state District Judge Jennifer Attrep rejected the New Mexico

Foundation for Open Government’s request to release the full audit report, which has been kept secret and contains details of the fraud and Medicaid overbilling allegations that led to the state’s removal of 15 behavioral health providers. Instead, Attrep ruled that the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office must release portions of the report about Presbyterian Medical Services.

In the summer of 2013, Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration cited the audit as credible evidence of fraud and terminated Medicaid funding to the behavioral health agencies. Presbyterian and one other provider reached settlement agreements with the state to continue providing services. Five Arizona companies replaced the other 13 providers in New Mexico. The Arizona Republic reported this week that the replacement agencies from Arizona are in dire financial positions and borrowing money from their parent companies to keep their New Mexico

operations afloat. The ousted providers have expressed frustration that they’re still unsure exactly what they’re accused of doing wrong, because even they haven’t seen the audit the governor points to as the reason for their removal. After a report in The New Mexican revealed that at least one of the Arizona companies had been billing the state for transition work that took place before the audit even began, some of the former providers questioned whether the Martinez administration had made the decision

to remove them before the audit was done. Although open-government advocates didn’t get everything they wanted in Attrep’s ruling, the foundation’s executive director, Susan Boe, said she’s hopeful Attorney Generalelect Hector Balderas will keep his campaign promise to speed up the investigation that until now has progressed slowly under outgoing Attorney General Gary King. “An investigation of even a single

Gas in Santa Fe dips to under $2 State’s average price reaches lowest point in past five years By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

ationwide gasoline prices continue to fall, and in Santa Fe fuel prices dipped below $2 a gallon for unleaded gas at one south-side station early Thursday. Sam’s Club was charging $1.99 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel. The fueling station next to the Rodeo Road warehouse store of the same name bustled, with space at the pumps at a premium. Citywide, prices are in a slow-motion free fall, with prices listed on LED-lit signs often shedding a cent on a daily basis. In the metro area, the average price ranges from $2.02 to $2.09 per gallon. Sam’s Club had the cheapest fuel as of Thursday morning. Statewide gas prices have declined as well.

Farther north, gas stations at Santa Clara Pueblo, Cuyamunge, Fairview and Ranchitos also had gas prices dip below $2 a gallon. A news release from AAA New Mexico said the state’s average retail price, $2.32 a gallon for unleaded, reached the lowest point in the past five years. Albuquerque residents had the lowest average at $2.18 a gallon and Las Cruces residents had the highest at $2.28 a gallon. The nationwide average is $2.48, about 14 cents lower than last year’s average of $2.68 a gallon. Last year, Santa Fe residents paid an average of $2.32, and statewide the average was $2.45. Most motorists couldn’t recall the last time gas cost less than $2 a gallon, as was the case for motorist Martha Valdez. “I can’t remember,” she said while fueling her four-door sedan. “I kinda just go with the flow.” She said it’s nice to see gas prices drop, but she wasn’t sure it would affect her day-to-day life. She joked that it’s not like she ever has extra money by paycheck’s end anyway. Others such as Royce Montoya said he last recalled paying 99 cents a gallon in the late ’80s

when he and his buddies would cruise in Santa Fe. The lower prices, he said, will allow him to spend more money on Christmas presents for his family. And while motorists are happy now, they know the low prices can’t last forever. Ruben Vigil, who drives a large truck with a 32-gallon tank, said he hopes the low prices will last through the summer because he does a lot of traveling. “Forty-five dollars compared to $100 per tank is a lot nicer,” he said. Annie McGovern said she appreciated the lower prices but bemoaned the nation’s continued reliance on nonrenewable fuel sources. She drives a hybrid vehicle, but said she would love to drive a car powered by solar energy. “I just wish we were more proactive and less profit-oriented,” she said. “I think about my grandchildren. What kind of world are they going to get?” Contact Chris Quintana at 986-3093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @CQuintanaSF.

ALBUQUERQUE — The New Mexico Lottery needs to catch up with the mobile revolution if it wants to attract the next generation of players and raise more money for the lottery scholarship program, the head of the gaming agency told lawmakers Thursday. Lottery CEO David Barden and state Higher Education Deputy Secretary Glenn Walters testified before the legislative Revenue Stabilization and Tax Policy Committee on the status of the popular scholarship program. Without boosting sales, they echoed the concerns many have had about the solvency of the program as tuition increases and demand for financial assistance grows. More than $40 million was raised for college students during the last fiscal year, and lottery officials say they’re on track to raise nearly $43 million during the next budget year. Tapping into the spending habits of younger people will be key, Barden said, pointing to efforts in Minnesota and other states where players can purchase tickets at the gas pump or online. While more than 80 percent of tickets are sold at convenience stores, Barden said statistics show about 73 percent of people who stop for gas never go inside and that amounts to lost opportunity. “Convenience is very important to this group — the millennials — so we have to come to them; they’re not going to come to us,” he said. “That’s one of the things we need to think about in the future.” Part of the problem is some of the lottery statutes were enacted years ago, before smartphones, tablets and debit cards became fixtures. Updating those statutes would give the lottery more flexibility, officials said. The lottery is also working on boosting marketing this next year with more television and radio spots and online ads. Increasing prize payouts could also result in more sales, Barden said. State law requires at least 30 percent of lottery proceeds go to the scholarship program.

Calling all birders for the annual Christmas count Volunteers help gather migration patterns, populations in N.M. By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

People don’t have to be expert birders to participate in Saturday’s annual Christmas Bird Count. They just need to love birds, have sharp eyes and be ready to walk a couple of miles. In return, they’ll be helping Audubon ornithologists who’ve tracked bird migrations and

populations around the country for decades. Santa Fe High School senior Wyatt Egelhoff, 18, is an accomplished birder who will lead the Wyatt annual Audubon Egelhoff Christmas Bird Count in Santa Fe for the second year. “I make sure everyone knows where they are going,” said Egelhoff, who started serious bird watching in middle school.

C.A.R.E. CANCER AWARENESS RESOURCES & EDUCATION GUIDE

The Christmas Bird Count is held around the United States from Dec. 14 through Jan. 5 with more than 70,000 volunteers helping scientists track hundreds of species. Compilers like Egelhoff decide which day to hold the count in a community. Volunteers who help with the 115-year-old count are participating in the longest running citizen-scientist survey in the world, according to Audubon. The thousands of birders who turn out before dawn to help with the count make it possible for scientists to gather more extensive data year to year on different bird species.

Santa Fe’s count has been conducted since the mid-1950s, said Egelhoff. “Data collected are incredibly important to see patterns in how climate change is affecting bird populations,” he said. “There aren’t too many opportunities for birders to contribute to a database that’s been American so consistently kept gold finch for so long.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED u People who want to volunteer on the Santa Fe bird count should email Egelhoff at redknot42@ gmail.com. Volunteers will meet at the Starbucks at 6:30 a.m. Saturday at the DeVargas Center. u The bird count continues through Jan. 5. The last opportunity to volunteer in New Mexico is Jan. 4 in Española.

THE NEW MEXICAN Friday, December 19, 2014

JOHN ALOYSIUS MARTIN

FRED M. REID Fred M. Reid passed away at age 86 on December 11, 2014 in Santa Fe, NM. For over 58 years Dr. Reid served the Santa Fe community and beyond as a respected and trusted Optometric Physician and public servant. Born in Brooklyn, NY to Jewish immigrants from Poland via Russia and Argentina, he grew up with a strong work ethic and deep spiritual values which allowed him to attain the skills and wisdom that enriched the lives of so many from all walks of life. He chose Santa Fe because he fell in love with the mountains and culture while visiting and staying at La Fonda. After rigorous studies in NYC at Stuyvesant High School, Fred worked his way through college at the University of Connecticut, attaining a degree in chemistry. Having a love of animals from living on the family farm in CT, he tried Veterinary school in Georgia but decided to change course. He found his true calling at Pennsylvania College of Optometry where he earned his OD in 1955, passing the Boards in CT, PA and NM with the highest scores. Establishing himself in Santa Fe on E. Palace Ave. as an associate of Dr. Denhof, he bought that practice and eventually relocated to Plaza Luisa which he built with a group of doctors, staying there for over 20 years. By 1960 Dr. Reid was admitted as a Fellow by the American Academy of Optometry and made his mark as a contact lens specialist, participating in research trials with the FDA leading to the introduction of the first extended-wear lens in 1983. He was known for making caring connections with his patients, thorough eye exams, accurate prescriptions, and loved challenging cases. Part of his time was spent doing charitable screenings in the public schools and for organizations such as Delancey Street. In 1997 he sold his practice, but continued working another 16 years as an independent contractor until he was over 85 years old. At 86 he still shared his knowledge by checking vision screening results at Villa Therese Catholic Clinic and with Capital City Lions Club in the city elementary schools. Dr. Reid’s humanitarian work extended far beyond the city limits. Under the auspices of Lions Club International, he travelled to Costa Rica in 1974, sleeping on dirt floors to bring better vision to those in need. He volunteered for Save the Children’s "Eyes on the Future" program on the Navajo Reservation in the early 1990’s during the hantavirus outbreak. But he considered the highlight of his career a trip to Laos in 2000 at age 72 with a group of 50 doctors and staff through the "Gift of Sight" program. They examined and treated 500 people a day who stood in long lines for a needed surgery or pair of glasses. Dr. Reid served Santa Fe on the City Council in the early 1960’s when approval was given, under protest, for the second traffic light in the city at Osage and Cerrillos Rd. He also approved the De Vargas Mall and the widening of St. Francis Dr. Fred was President of Girls Inc., helping secure the current property, and President of Santa Fe Host Lions Club. He was an early President of Temple Beth Shalom and instrumental in bringing legendary Rabbi Leonard Helman to Santa Fe. He went on to become a founding member of Congregation Beit Tikva. As a lifetime member of Hadassah he supported important medical research in Israel. Fred was an avid tennis player, forming many close friendships on the court. He loved art, accepting trade for services with notable artists, especially potters from the Pueblos Attending Feast Days in their homes was special for him. He volunteered at the Palace of the Governors Gift Shop in his final 2 summers as well as at the Bienvenidos booth on the Plaza, sharing stories with visitors from around the world. Over the years he vacationed with his growing family, most recently in Kauai from 2005-2012, and always encouraged his children to pursue their dreams through higher education. Fred lived a full life up to his last day, leaving us quite unexpectedly. His legacy will be the light created by his big heart, sense of humor and many good deeds. He is survived by his 4 children and 10 grandchildren: daughter, Jessica Reid, and her children Krystal, Jacob, Jonathan, Troy, Alyssa, Brandon; daughter, Staci Goad (Doug), and their son Chad Fredrickson; son, Josh Reid (Tracy), and their son Jakson; daughter, Judy Reid, and her children Cailey and Conner; and by his partner in work and life for 28 years, Joanne B. "Johanna" Travis. He was preceded in death by his parents Gertrude and John Reid, sister Flora Codman and brother Aaron Reid. A private burial service took place December 12 at Santa Fe Memorial Gardens in the Shalom section. There will be a public Celebration of Life, to be announced at a future date. Contributions may be made in Fred’s name to Congregation Beit Tikva for their building expansion and to the Museum of NM Foundation.

John Aloysius Martin, a banker in Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Albuquerque for many years, passed away Dec. 13, he was 92. He and his four siblings-Tom, Roberta, George and Pat--grew up in El Rito, between Abiquíu and Ojo Caliente. His father, George Martin, had come to New Mexico before statehood. John Martin’s mother, Margaret Allen Martin, was an Irish nurse who had come to Santa Fe to work at St. Vincent Hospital. After the couple married, they lived in El Rito. George Martin, a graduate of Manhattan College, had been appointed as the first president of the Spanish American Normal School there (now Northern New Mexico College) because of his knowledge of many languages. After a change of administration at the state, he lost his job and the family moved to Pueblo, Colo., where John was born in 1922. After returning to El Rito, George Martin became a partner in the Sargent general store. He subsequently bought out Sargent; later his son Tom Martin and grandson Greg Martin ran the store until it closed in the early years of this century. Margaret Martin worked as a nurse in El Rito. The Martins also acquired a ranch, later managed by their son Pat, daughter-in-law JoAnn, and grandchildren Mike and Tim. They were members of the San Juan Nepomuceno Catholic parish. John Martin and his siblings attended the Normal School in El Rito. They worked on the ranch, rode their horses in the mountains, ice skated on the pond near their house, even set up an old truck engine to make a ski lift in El Rito Canyon. He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1949 with a major in Spanish and a minor in business. One of his professors was Rubén Cobos, author of the dictionary of Northern New Mexican Spanish. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army in Texas, where he translated for Spanish-speaking recruits. His first banking job was with Albuquerque Federal Savings and Loan. He and Barbara McCain were married in 1951. Their two sons, Meade and Christopher, were born in Albuquerque. In 1964 John Martin joined the USAID Alliance for Progress, whose goal was to encourage the growth of a middle class in Latin America. The family spent almost four years living in El Salvador. Upon returning to New Mexico, the family lived in Santa Fe. John Martin was a loan officer at First National Bank of Santa Fe, president of United Savings and Loan in Los Alamos, Santa Fe branch manager for Albuquerque Federal, and on the board of Charter Bank for Savings. After retiring from the banking industry, he worked as a real estate agent with Jim Walsh’s Adobe Realty. In 2012, the couple moved from their house near the Santa Fe Plaza to Ponce de León retirement home, where John Martin made many new friends among the residents and staff who appreciated him for his kindness and wit, joining legions of friends from across the state and around the world. He died from complications of a stroke, with his family present. Barbara, his wife of 63 years; sons Meade and Chris; daughters-in-law Jill and Robin; grandchildren Laura, Elliott, Sophie; and many other relatives survive him. Rosary will be at 3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21 at San Juan Nepomuceno church in El Rito. Funeral will be at 10 a.m., Monday, Dec. 22 at Cristo Rey church in Santa Fe.

MARILLA OAKS JENKS

Join us for a celebration of life on Sunday December 21, 2014, at 2:30 p.m., at Temple Beth Shalom 205 E Barcelona Rd. Santa Fe. Reception to follow service, all are welcome.

Marilla Oaks Jenks, educator, lay Baptist minister, and organist, died on Sunday, December 14, 2014. Born on November 19, 1923 in North Rose, NY she lived there until 1995, when she and her husband moved to St. George, UT. As a widow, in 2012 she moved to Santa Fe, NM to be with members of her family. Marilla was a graduate of Cornell University and the State University of New York at Oswego. She trained as a hospital dietician though she never practiced that profession. Instead, she established an early home-schooling program in eastern Wayne County, NY, became the organist at Rose Baptist Church, taught piano, loved to play cards (and win!) with her family, and followed professional tennis on television, even managing to figure out how to watch one game and record others for later viewing. In Utah she was active in the St. George Community Church where she supervised the music and led services in between ministers. Her smile lit up the room wherever she was, and her quiet voice commanded even the noisiest bunch of kids or adults. Marilla was married to Frederick Jenks for sixty years. They have three children: Seth, a teacher who lives in Santa Fe and whose children are William (Kathleen) and Jennifer (Megan); Eleanor Bloom (Edward), a teacher who lives in Connecticut; and Thomas (Jullie), an engineer working for the military in Roy, UT, and whose children are Christine and Thomas E. (Melissa). Marilla is also survived by five great -grandchildren, Brennan, Ryland, Camden, Charlotte, and Jacob Jenks, plus the family of Seth’s partner Robert L. Patten, including his children Jocelyn McMahon and Christina Kaissi, and Bob’s grandchildren Aidan and Fiona McMahon. Also surviving are Marilla’s sister Miriam Riukas and her daughter Diana, and Fred’s brother Richard Jenks and his two children, Paige and Valerie. There will be a memorial service at the Church of the Holy Faith at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 20, 2014. A family reunion and interment will take place in the Rose, NY cemetery in early August 2015, when Marilla will join Fred at rest in the Oaks family plot. In lieu of flowers, the Jenks family requests that tributes be sent to support the music programs at Holy Faith, 311 East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe 87501, or to Shelter Interfaith Santa Fe, 2801 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe 87507, where Mom volunteered one winter’s night to feed the hungry and homeless. We are deeply grateful for the loving care, understanding, and support that Mom received from the staffs of Christus St. Vincent Hospital, Casa Rael, and Ambercare, and from the clergy and laypersons affiliated with Holy Faith. These dedicated women and men made her final journey safe and comfortable, and their bondings with Mom enriched all the lives.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF SPEAKER BEN LUJAN JULY 12, 1935 - DECEMBER 18, 2012 "TWO TIRED EYES" Two tired eyes are sleeping, two hard working hands are still, the one we loved so deeply is resting at God’s will. He will always walk in sunshine; God’s love around him glows, for all the happiness he gave us, no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

In brief Police arrest two suspected drug dealers Santa Fe police arrested two suspected drug dealers in separate criminal cases, one involving a 2-year-old girl who police said lived in “dangerous conditions.” Chris Moya, 25, of Santa Fe was arrested on Dec. 4, after officers with a warrant searched his apartment in the 2300 block of Rufina Road. A news release said police said they found they found cocaine, heroin and marijuana in the apartment, where Moya lived with his 2-year-old daughter. Chris Moya Moya was arrested on charges of trafficking cocaine and heroin, child abuse, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. On Dec. 1, police arrested Hugo Cera-Rascon, 23, of Santa Fe after authorities said they obtained evidence of him selling “heroin on the streets,” the Hugo news release says.

S.F. man pleads guilty to federal tax charges A 33-year-old Santa Fe man pleaded guilty Thursday to federal tax charges stemming from a Bernalillo County case, the U.S. attorney said in a news release. Andre Lewis was arrested in May 2014, on an 11-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service, making a materially false statement to a federal officer and, preparing, aiding and filing fraudulent tax returns between February 2009 and August 2009 in Bernalillo County. During court proceedings Thursday, Lewis pleaded guilty to two of the 11 counts against him, conspiracy and aiding and abetting the preparation of a false and fraudulent tax return, the news release says. Authorities said Lewis and two other men obtained the names, identifiers and W-2 forms of federal taxpayers and used the information to electronically file federal income tax returns and fraudulently received tax refund payments. At his as-yet unscheduled sentencing hearing, Lewis faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on the conspiracy charge and up to three years on the aiding and abetting charge. The New Mexican

Bird: Counts help scientists track patterns Continued from Page B-1 really matters.” In the Christmas Bird Count last year, New Mexicans identified 224 species and a record 525,000 individual birds. Over time, the counts help scientists determine trends in species migration, population and more. In the fall, Audubon scientists released a report based on three decades of bird count data. Of data analyzed for 588 bird species, 314 could lose more than half their current habitat range by 2080 if climate change continues to warm temperatures, according to the report. “A changing climate will affect the birds we love to see in our urban and rural backyards,” said Carol Beidleman, director of bird conservation at Audubon New Mexico in a statement. “But we can all help protect these treasured resources by becoming engaged in citizen science.” Egelhoff, who is the youngest

person in the state compiling bird sightings for the count, said there’s no limit on how many people can participate in Saturday’s count. Birders will be sent out in groups to cover portions of a 15-mile diameter circle. The Santa Fe circle encompasses bird sites from Cañada de los Alamos to the south, east to the city’s reservoirs, north to Tesuque and west to Caja del Rio. Egelhoff’s job is to organize the groups and assign each one an area in which to count birds. He tries to pair more experienced birders with less experienced ones. He provides the specific stops where the groups should go to count using bird checklists. He collects the checklists at the end of the day and adds up all the species sited and the individual birds. The lists are sent to regional compilers who create a state list of bird counts for Audubon. Volunteers who want to help

in Saturday’s count should bring binoculars, warm clothes, and pens or pencils, Egelhoff said. Field guides also are good to bring. Egelhoff said some areas require more walking than others but on average people will walk about 2.5 miles. The data is only as good as the bird count. “They need to be willing to count the area they’re given,” he said. “If the counting is slow, they still kind of need to tough it out.” Egelhoff said winter wrens might be a new species Santa Feans will spot during the count. Two of the Eastern birds have already been sighted at the Santa Fe Canyon Preserve. Egelhoff said it is the huge number of bird species with their different sizes, shapes and calls that keep him fascinated. He plans to study biology or conservation ecology with an avian emphasis at New Mexico State University next year.

Little did we know that morning three years ago, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are ALWAYS at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But when the time comes, and God calls us one by one, Our family chain will link again.

In brief Live Nativity scene scheduled for weekend A two-humped camel and an albino zebra from Las Cruces will be part of the annual live Nativity scene staged this weekend at the First Baptist Church, 1605 Old Pecos Trail. For many years, members of the congregation have taken turns appearing in costume as shepherds, Roman soldiers, wise men, Mary and Joseph and an angel or two, as part of a preChristmas tradition. This year’s presentations are scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Although camels and other animals — including horses, donkeys and sheep — have been part of the enactment in previous years, a church official said this is the first year that they’ve had a two-humped camel. The albino zebra is the camel’s traveling companion, she said.

Records: Teen birth rates drop in New Mexico New Mexican teens’ birth rates are down. The Department of Health announced Thursday that vital records show a 10 percent drop between 2012 and 2013 for teens 15 to 17 years old and for teens 18 to 19 years old. The department says the drop is New Mexico’s largest in the last 15 years, continuing a trend that has seen birth rates for teens 15 to

17 years old decline 56 percent since 1998. Meanwhile, birth rates for teens 18 to 19 years old dropped 36 percent. However, New Mexico’s rates still top national rates for each age group. According to the most recent data available, New Mexico has the highest rate nationally for teens 15-19. Health Secretary Retta Ward says that means the state is making progress in reducing teen pregnancies but still has work to do.

Report: Radiological release at dump was low CARLSBAD — A final report by independent researchers shows the radiological release from the federal government’s underground nuclear waste repository in Southern New Mexico was low and localized. The report released Thursday by the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center also says no negative health effects are expected among workers or the public. The research center is associated with New Mexico State University. Its technicians have been collecting samples since February, when a container of waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory ruptured after being placed in a storage room at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Sampling stations at and near WIPP confirmed the presence of trace amounts of americium and plutonium. The release forced the indefinite closure of WIPP.

Settlement briefs allowed in Albuquerque police overhaul By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Civil rights groups can now start submitting friend-of-the-court briefs for a pending settlement between the city and the U.S. Justice Department to overhaul Albuquerque police, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. The decision by U.S. District Judge Robert Brack gives the public until Jan. 14 to submit up to 15 pages to argue positions for a final agreement. The reform blueprint calls for new training and protocols for investigating officer shootings. It also calls for the agency to dismantle some troubled units. An independent monitoring team will oversee how the

changes are adopted, provide technical assistance and publicly report on the city’s compliance. The team also will have access to all documents, personnel, facilities and information related to the settlement agreement and will engage with officers and community members on an ongoing basis, federal officials said. The police department serving a city of about 560,000 people has faced scrutiny for 42 police shootings — 27 of them fatal — since 2010. The fatal shooting of a homeless man in March sparked protests around the city after video footage appeared to show the man surrendering during a standoff. Peter Simonson, executive director of the American

Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said the group plans to file an amicus brief on behalf of APD Forward — a coalition of churches, civil rights groups and advocates for the homeless. He said the brief will discuss ways the agreement could be improved and how community have been affected “by a lack of accountability” from Albuquerque police. “We have some concerns on the part on how APD will deploy the use of tactical units,” Simonson said. However, he said the agreement already has a number of positive parts that have pleased some advocates. Simonson said he especially sees the adoption of a federal monitor as a good move.

Pojoaque stifles Tularosa in opener By James Barron The New Mexican

Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo drives during the second half of a Wednesday game against the Orlando Magic in Boston.

JACONA — Forty points. That’s the goal the Pojoaque Elks try to meet every time they hit the basketball hardwood. It’s a way of re-enforcing the defensive mindset that Pojoaque head boys basketball coach Joey Trujillo wants to instill in his program. “To get to some of the goals we want to accomplish, it’s going to be through defense,” Trujillo said.

“They’ve bought in. I’m really Tularosa 22 happy about the teamwork that we have on offense and defense.” There was a lot to be thrilled about Thursday for the Elks’ opening round game of the Ben Lujan Tournament. They held the Tularosa Wildcats without a field goal for 19 minutes, 12 seconds and allowed just 22 points overall to meet their goal in a 50-22 win in Ben Lujan Gymnasium. The Elks play Mora in a semifinal Pojoaque

at 8:30 p.m. Friday, with the winner facing either Silver or Laguna-Acoma for the title. To get there, though, in defense the Elks (7-3) do trust. So far this season, only three teams have scored more than 50 points, and thanks to the Wildcats’ scoring troubles, Pojoaque saw its pointsallowed-per-game average drop from 41.1 to exactly 39 points per game. The Elks didn’t allow a single point in the first quarter, as they built an 18-0 lead at that point. Tularosa (2-6) managed just two free throws by

Marcus Mendez in the second quarter as the margin grew to 30-2. Mendez broke the field-goal cold streak with a breakaway layup off a steal for 30-4, Pojoaque. The going got easier for the Wildcats, but much of that was attributed to different lineups Trujillo threw on the court. But he noted a sloppiness on the defensive end that he didn’t like. “We started taking some chances

Celtics Española overpowers SFHS trade Demonettes suffer Rondo from senior post Hernandez’s absence to Mavs By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

By Jimmy Golen The Associated Press

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics traded point guard Rajon Rondo to Dallas on Thursday night, cutting ties with the last remnant of their last NBA championship while giving Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks a chance at another title. The Celtics will send Rondo and forward Dwight Powell to Dallas for Jameer Nelson, Jae Crowder, Brandan Wright, two draft picks and a $12.9 million trade exception. “Welcome to Rajon Rondo, the newest member of the Dallas Mavericks,” team owner Mark Cuban wrote on the social media application Cyber Dust shortly before the official announcement. Cuban also thanked the three departing players, calling them “Amazing players and better people.” Boston got a first-round pick in next year’s draft and a secondrounder in 2016. The Celtics have

hen Cindy Roybal’s team starts to get going, the other team might need some help from above. After being so close with Santa Fe High for the better part of three quarters in a nondistrict girls basketball game in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium on Thursday night, Roybal’s Española Valley girls basketball team pulled away late for a 54-46 victory over the Demonettes. The score was tied 27-27 with 3:36 left in the third quarter, but the Lady Sundevils (9-1) closed the quarter on a 10-3 run and opened the fourth quarter with a 6-0 spurt to force the Demonettes (9-2) to face a 43-30 deficit — one they never overcame. “They finally starting running the offense the way I wanted them to run it, and we intensified the defense a little bit,” Roybal said of the change in momentum. Española junior guard Kaitlyn Romero scored 12 of her game 18 game-high points in the second half to lead the charge, but she was just the latest Lady Sundevil to take over a game, and Roybal is waiting for all her players to be able to take over at once. “Any one of those kids can turn it on at anytime, it’s just a matter of finding the right one,” Roybal said. “Heaven help the other team when they all turn it on.” Santa Fe High could have used a lot of help from senior post Briana Hernandez, who stayed home on Thursday with strep throat. Without Hernandez in the lineup, the Demonettes have to rely on sophomore Elena Gonzales and freshman Adonica Baca to take over the paint, and their lack of experience showed Thursday. “Not having Briana hurt us tonight because we kept dumping the ball into our bigs, but we were missing some easy shots,” Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez said. “We have to develop our bigs, and our bigs have to finish. I told them that one of them needs to put time in during the holidays and get busy, and the ones that don’t do that are going to get behind.” The Demonettes also lost their second straight game after a string of 18 victories going back to last season, but there should

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Blake Bortles revived a stagnant offense. Jordan Todman provided some cushion. And Jaguars 21 Sen’Derrick Marks sealed it Titans 13 with the most rewarding sack of his career. The trio provided all the highlights in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 21-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night. In a matchup that was widely billed as unwatchable, Bortles, Todman and Marks offered some compelling moments in a relatively meaningless game. “The neat thing about this was different guys stood up at different times,” Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. Bortles completed 13 of 26 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, a

goal after senior midfielder Shalto Dascher was taken off the field in an ambulance for suffering a severe concussion and convulsing on the turf. In allowing the Dragons to take that shot, the Tigers essentially gave them a 2-1 win after Monte del Sol — with many players still shaken and in tears — nearly walked off the field in forfeit. Two weeks later on Sept. 29, the St. Michael’s girls soccer team agreed to let Santa Fe Prep senior Grace Barliant dribble the first touch uncontested to the Lady Horsemen side of the field. Barliant — who played varsity soccer at Santa Fe Prep since eighth grade — was removed within seconds, as blood thinners she was taking to combat blood clots in her lungs prevented her from playing most of her final season. It was just a small token of appreciation for Barliant’s competitive spirit from the Lady Horsemen, who

also happen to be some of Barliant’s best friends. There were ups and downs this year, like when we saw local basketball star Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage commit to Division I Wichita State after a dominating junior year, only to see her miss her senior season for Santa Fe High with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. This record-setting year put Santa Fe back on the map, and it set standards for years to come. People will expect teams from here to be contending for state championships, and I don’t think they’ll disappoint. But while state titles were being won and lost, there were also reminders that athletics are not just about championships, and those are the moments that really deserve to be celebrated. Which made 2014 a good year indeed.

Warriors beat Thunder after Durant leaves with injury The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry had 34 points and nine assists, and the Golden State Warriors rallied from an early 17-point defiWarriors 114 cit to beat Oklahoma City 114-109 Thunder 109 on Thursday night after Thunder star Kevin Durant left with a sprained right ankle. Durant scored a season-high 30 points on 10-for-13 shooting in a spectacular first half that ended with him stepping on Marreese Speights’ foot. The Thunder said Durant had a mild ankle sprain, and the NBA MVP did not return. Oklahoma City had won seven

straight games, which was the longest active streak in the league after Memphis snapped Golden State’s 16-game winning streak Tuesday night. Curry added seven rebounds, and Klay Thompson scored 19 points for the Warriors, who played without injured center Andrew Bogut (right knee) and forward David Lee (left hamstring) again. Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 33 points. BUCKS 108, KINGS 107 In Sacramento, Calif., Brandon Knight scored 20 points, and Milwaukee spoiled DeMarcus Cousins’ return to the struggling Kings with a victory. With their inside game lacking due

to missing players, the Bucks shot well from the perimeter for much of the night in winning their third in four games. They went 10 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half and made 13 overall from beyond the arc. O.J. Mayo and Jared Dudley added 19 points apiece for Milwaukee. Jerryd Bayless scored 17 and Giannis Antetokounmpo had 11 for the undersized Bucks, outscored 48-26 in the paint. Playing for the first time in more than three weeks, Cousins looked fatigued at times but still had 27 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in nearly 33 minutes for the Kings. PELICANS 99, ROCKETS 90 In Houston, Anthony Davis had 30 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks

to lead New Orleans to a win over the Rockets. The Pelicans trailed by one early in the fourth quarter before using a 7-0 run to take a 79-73 lead and they didn’t trail again. Ryan Anderson scored the last five points in that spurt to help New Orleans snap a six-game skid in Houston. Jrue Holiday added 16 points with 10 assists for New Orleans and Anderson had 16 points. James Harden scored 21 and Dwight Howard had 17 points with 13 rebounds for the Rockets, who lost for just the second time in nine games. Harden entered leading the NBA in scoring and had scored more than 40 points in two of his last three games. But he had a tough night by his

standards and made just eight of 23 shots. BULLS 103, KNICKS 97 In Chicago, Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 35 points, and the Bulls beat New York in a game missing All-Stars Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony. Playing without Rose, who sat out with an illness, the Bulls got another strong game from Butler. He was 11 of 21 from the floor with four 3-pointers, five rebounds, seven assists and four steals. Still, the Bulls had trouble shaking a short-handed New York team that’s lost three straight and 13 of 14. Pau Gasol scored 20 points for Chicago, which went on a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter to take an 87-77 lead.

Two longtime St. Mike’s coaches resign By James Barron The New Mexican

Two programs known for their coaching longevity at St. Michael’s just so happen to have an opening. The boys soccer and volleyball programs are without head coaches, as both Merritt Brown (boys soccer) and Steve Long (volleyball) resigned three weeks ago, confirmed St. Michael’s athletic director Tom Manning. Brown resigned after a 10-year run, in which he compiled a 117-90-6 record and helped guide the Horsemen to six district titles. He replaced Mark Miller, who coached from 1998-2004 and guided the program to four straight appearances in the Class A-AAA (now A-AAAA) finals from 2000 to ’03. As for Long, he struggled through three seasons being

the coach who followed Chela Butler when she resigned in 2011 after 19 years running the Lady Horsemen program. St. Michael’s went 18-48 with just one state tournament appearance in that stretch. As he assessed his feelings about returning after the season ended in the opening round of the A-AAAA tournament in late October, Brown felt it was time for a fresh perspective for the program. “I’m always evaluating myself and my performance,” Brown said. “I kind of felt that the kids could benefit from some new coaching, although I want to balance that with stability.” Brown feels the stability he and Miller have provided for the past 17 years helped establish St. Michael’s as one of the premier programs in the state, regardless of class, and will benefit the next coach. It helps that the Horsemen have

not missed the postseason in as many years. While Brown lauded the program’s overall success, he felt grateful for the support he had from the administration and from his players. That has been evident over the past six years after Brown’s son, Jensen Brown, died in a car crash in Albuquerque in 2008 at the age of 17. St. Michael’s and Santa Fe Prep helped with the “Think Jensen” Game, which was held for four years after his death, but it has turned into a much more intimate affair among former teammates and friends. Still, Brown couldn’t help but be thankful for the support he and his family received during a difficult time. “It was filling and fulfilling for me,” the former coach said of his time at the school. “The players and the school helped pull me through a lot of things.

And not just me, but my family.” As much success as the soccer program has enjoyed, the volleyball program has fallen on some hard times. It appeared that the Lady Horsemen were primed to move up the ladder in AAAA with most of their players returning from a 2013 season that saw them advance to the state tournament. However, after a 2-3 start, St. Michael’s lost 14 of its last 17 matches. Manning said Long’s resignation had nothing to do with his record. “He’s retired now, and he just wanted to spend time with his family,” Manning said. “He felt he had put in enough time coaching kids.” Manning said he has not received any applications yet, but expects that will change once the holiday season ends.

Española: Roybal surprised at success Continued from Page B-5 be little need for them to worry. Above all, Chavez just wants his team to get better, and he’s willing to take a loss for that to happen. “Our girls have a lot of fundamentals, and they come in and get to work,” he said. “I told them that maybe this is something good that will make us work harder. We have to get better if we want to compete in our district, so we just have to keep improving.” Santa Fe is now in a surprising place with two consecutive losses, and believe it or not, so is Española. Roybal became the fourth head coach for the program in the last four years when she took over in June,

and she needed to rush the players into her system in a short amount of time. “I really feel like we’re two weeks behind, and I also feel that once this Christmas break comes through, I can really get them to understand the concepts,” she said. The players were facing a lot of doubt this year with yet another head coach leaving and with last year’s leading scorer, Ashlynn Trujillo, leaving for Los Alamos when her father Nestor took over its girls basketball team, and this hot start didn’t seem fathomable. “A lot of people are counting us out this year because we have a new coach and a new system and they thought we weren’t going to bounce back as tough, but we’re

working harder,” Romero said. “We’re going to make a run when it counts.” Roybal doesn’t shy away from her coaching accomplishments, but not even she thought her only loss at this point in the season would be to Class AAAAAA Las Cruces Mayfield. “If you would have told me this summer when I took over the program that we were going to be 9-1, I would have asked you what you were smoking,” she said. “Once we put it together, and we run the offense and we get our defense solidified, we’re going to be tough. I’m excited about everything.” And heaven help any team that gets in their way.

The Colts were led by Keshawn Thornton and Garrett Laney, who each had 13 points. Omar Ndiaye scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half, while Ryan Vander Ham had

10 of his 12 after the break. MORA 67, SOCORRO 53 The Rangers (2-1) pulled off a mild upset over the Warriors, taking a 31-21 lead at the half and never being threatened. Mora’s ability to control the tempo wore down Socorro (3-2) down the stretch, as the lead grew to as much as 16 points. “That’s been our goal all season,” said Marco Sanchez, firstyear Mora head coach. “And I’ve got 25 guys who are committed to that.” The Rangers used an 8-for-12 effort from the free-throw-line to secure a spot in the semifinals against the host Elks. Casimiro Fresquez had 16 of his game-high 26 points in the second half, while Curtis Vasquez and Jerome Alcon added 12. GIRLS POJOAQUE VALLEY 50, MCCURDY 30 It’s something that won’t be said very often, but the Elkettes (3-4) were the bigger team. It just took a half for them to use their size to their advantage. While McCurdy clogged the middle, Pojoaque’s posts struggled to present a strong target. It didn’t help that the Elkettes also had 18 turnovers, with many of them coming from bad passes in transition or into the post. McCurdy was within 17-12

of the Elks at the half. “I think we weren’t working for position inside,” Pojoaque head coach Chris Williams said. “They were settling for what the defense gave them. They [the Lady Bobcats] stayed solid and they didn’t let us get position.” That changed in the second half as Pojoaque scored six of its first seven buckets from inside of 5 feet. Justice Ainsworth was the primary beneficiary, as she scored eight of her 12 points in the quarter and three of her baskets came in the paint. Her last bucket — a putback — made it 30-17 as Pojoaque outscored the Lady Bobcats 19-8 in the third quarter. SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 56, SOCORRO 30 The Lady Braves (5-3) wanted their hands on everything, and they did for the most part against the Lady Warriors. SFIS had 11 steals and seven offensive rebounds by the end of the opening quarter, and that helped it to a 21-4 lead it never lost. That would have made SFIS head coach Lanse Carter proud if he was with the team, but he missed the game because of an illness. Varsity assistant Fran Ortega, who filled in, will have to tell him in the interim. “Those are things we focus on in practice — grabbing rebounds and getting our hands

on passes, and making sure we’re taking chances,” Ortega said. Victoria Lovato led the way with 11 points — all in the first half — while Randee Toya added 10. Aracely Alderete led Socorro with 16 points. ST. MICHAEL’S 46, MORA 33 Don’t let the final score fool you. It wasn’t even that close. The Lady Horsemen (5-2) led 18-2 at the end of the first quarter and 36-9 at the half, and they used their bench the rest of the way to advance to the semifinals. Jocelyn Fernandez led St. Michael’s with 13 points, with 11 coming in the first half, while Alex Groenewold had nine of her 11 before the break. Monika Pacheco led Mora (1-4) with 11 points, while Brianna Pacheco added 11. TULAROSA 80, PEÑASCO 32 The defending tournament champion Lady Wildcats scored 33 points and held a 59-13 lead at the half as they advanced to a matchup with SFIS in the semifinals. Kyanne Kowatch scored 18 of her team-high 20 points in the first half for Tularosa, which is coached by former Capital and Pojoaque assistant coach Joe Estrada, while Shania Gilliand and Cassie Vickery each had 13. Megan Martinez had nine points to lead the Lady Panthers.

Rondo: Mavs won their only title in 2011 Continued from Page B-5 eight first-round picks in the next four years, picking them up in trades for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and even coach Doc Rivers as they shed the pieces of the New Big Three that earned the franchise its unprecedented 17th NBA title in 2008. “We would not have won Banner 17 without Rajon and will always consider him one of our most valuable Celtics,” the team’s owners said in a joint statement. “We will always cherish the time he was here.” The Mavericks get a passfirst point guard — a four-time all-star — to team with Nowitzki, Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler in

what they hope will make them a contender again. Dallas is 19-8 this season but in third place in the Southwest Division and sixth in the Western Conference. The Mavericks, who won their only NBA title in 2011, have not won a playoff series since. The deal has been years in the making, with the Celtics shopping Rondo every time a coach grows tired of his moods or his contract expectations grow too large for their budget. But every previous time Boston management decided that the offers weren’t enough. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge found a partner in Dallas, which is coached by

his former Boston teammate Rick Carlisle. Rondo, 28, joined the rebuilding Celtics as the 21st overall pick out of Kentucky in 2006 and became the point guard for an NBA champion in his second year when Boston acquired Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett the next summer. They helped the Celtics reach the NBA finals again two years later. With the once-proud franchise mired in what now looks to be an extended rebuilding process, though, Rondo became more valuable as a trading chip. Due to be a free agent at the end of the season, he was reportedly expecting a contract at or near the NBA maximum.

Rondo has averaged 11 points, 8.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds over his career. He missed the second half of the 2012-13 season and the first half of last season to have reconstructive knee surgery, and then reportedly fell in the shower in Las Vegas on the eve of training camp and missed all of the preseason. In 22 games this season for Boston, Rondo had an NBAbest 10.8 assists per game and also averaged 8.3 points and 7.5 rebounds. Nelson, who signed a twoyear, $5.5 million deal last summer after 10 seasons in Orlando, was starting at point guard for Dallas, averaging 7.3 points and 4.1 assists while shooting 37 percent from the field.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning is over his illness but not his injury. Denver’s quarterback was limited Thursday when the Broncos reconvened for their first practice since their win at San Diego on Sunday. Manning fought through the flu in that game and strained his right thigh late in the first half. Manning participated in the walkthrough but retreated to the Broncos’ facility after the team stretch while backup Brock Osweiler took over the offense. He didn’t appear in any discomfort afterward, saying, “I feel OK,” and, when asked if he’ll be ready to play Monday night, added, “I certainly hope so.” Save for the season he missed following spinal fusion surgery, Manning has never missed a start in his 17-year NFL career. He was clearly feeling better Thursday. He had his coloring back in his face and even jokingly referenced Bill Belichick three times when he answered reporters’ questions with a “We’re on to Cincinnati” mantra. That’s something the Patriots coach did five times a day after their 41-14 drubbing at Kansas City on Sept. 29. New England turned around and walloped the Bengals 43-17 the following week, the start of a stretch of 10 wins in 11 games. The Broncos (11-3) will try to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs and keep the heat on the Patriots for the AFC’s top seed when they play the Bengals (9-4-1) in Cincinnati on Monday night. Coach John Fox gave the players Tuesday and Wednesday off. “I think it’s good for everybody this time of year,” Manning said. “Everybody — not just me — is dealing with different things physically. So, you get a little extra time to take care of your body, treatment or whatnot. I think guys took advantage

of that and hopefully that’ll pay off for us.” With Manning on the mend, what about Denver’s ailing offense? The Broncos have been wildly inconsistent in the red zone over the last month, in large part because tight end Julius Thomas (ankle) was out. Before he got hurt, their red zone efficiency was 77 percent with 24 TDs in 31 trips inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. Since then, that figure is just 42 percent (9 of 21). Three weeks ago, the Broncos stalled at the Chiefs’ 4, 6, 11, 15 and 19. And against San Diego, Connor Barth was called upon for three more chip-shot field goals after drives twice stalled at the Chargers’ 1 and again at the 8. In between, they reached the red zone three times against Buffalo and C.J. Anderson rushed for TDs of 6, 1 and 3 yards. Manning’s last red zone touchdown toss came Nov. 30 against Kansas City when Anderson took a short pass and scored from 15 yards out. “I think it’s just our execution … hasn’t been as good as we needed it to be,” Manning said. “That is something we can

improve on I think and certainly it’s something we can fix.” After another question about getting rest this time of year, Manning finished his reply with a smirk, saying, “We’re on to Cincinnati.” He was asked about Terrance Knighton’s Super Bowl guarantee that the Broncos nose tackle issued after Denver won its fourth straight AFC West title last weekend: “I think Terrance has a lot of confidence. I think it’s a good quality about him,” Manning said. “As far as me though, I’m on to Cincinnati.” And told that Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib, who was named AFC defensive player of the week, revealed he, too, was sick last Sunday, Manning was asked about how difficult it is playing while under the weather and if he could lob some blame at Talib for getting him sick. “No, I couldn’t do that,” Manning replied. “I think I’m past talking about it. So, we’re on to Cincinnati.” NOTES u LB Brandon Marshall is no longer wearing a protective boot on his sprained right foot and said his sprain wasn’t as bad as the team’s medical staff originally feared.

going to come out Monday and we’re going to put our best foot forward.” That would be a first. And in order for it to happen, Andy Dalton is going to have to play well. The fourth-year quarterback is 0-3 in the playoffs and 2-6 in prime time games. During the Thursday night loss to Cleveland, he completed only 10 passes, threw three interceptions and finished with a career-low passer rating of 2.0. A lot of it is on the quarterback. “It’s well documented whatever the record is, 2-6. I’ve heard all kinds of stuff. Trust me, I get enough emails, letters, cards, advice, all kinds of stuff,” offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said. “I do understand what’s at stake, and I think he does, too.” In the big games, Dalton has made the biggest mistakes, losing the ball on fumbles and interceptions. That has to change. “We can’t make mistakes, we can’t turn the ball over, we’ve got to be sound in our execution,” Dalton said. “And if we do that, we’ll put ourselves in a lot better position than we did in the other ones.”

Jones scores 21 to lead No. 2 Duke over UConn The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Freshman point guard Tyus Jones scored 21 points, Justise Winslow 2 Duke 66 hit two key baskets late UConn 56 in the game and No. 2 Duke responded to a tongue lashing by coach Mike Krzyzewski to beat defending national champion Connecticut 66-56 on Thursday night. Winslow and Jahlil Okafor — the other two members of the Blue Devils’ trio of talented freshmen — added 12 points apiece. Ahead 30-25 at the break, Duke (10-0) got off to a slow start in the second half and UConn (4-4) tied it. Amile Jefferson added 11 points and 13 rebounds for Duke in a game that had the feel and intensity of a NCAA tournament contest. NO. 6 VIRGINIA 70, CLEVELAND STATE 54 In Charlottesville, Va., Justin Anderson scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and No. 6 Virginia returned from an 11-day layoff for exams to defeat

Cleveland State. Malcolm Brogdon also scored 16 and Anthony Gill had 13 for the Cavaliers (10-0), who matched their best start since the 2000-01 season. Next up for Virginia is a visit from scrappy Harvard on Sunday. WOMEN’S NO. 10 LOUISVILLE 65, GRAND CANYON 51 In Phoenix, Mariya Moore scored 17 points and led the decisive second-half spurt that sent No. 10 Louisville over Grand Canyon. Moore had a 3-pointer, assist and steal in quick succession as Louisville built a 56-35 lead with 7:57 left. She hit 3 of 6 3-pointers and all four free throws in Louisville’s second straight win following a loss to Kentucky. Coming off a 54-point rout of Old Dominion on Monday, the Cardinals (10-1) struggled against Grand Canyon’s aggressive zone early as the Antelopes (3-7) played a Top 10 team for the first time. NO. 19 OKLAHOMA STATE 55, WEBER STATE 49 In Ogden, Utah, Roshunda Johnson scored 16 points, including the final go-ahead

bucket late in the second half, to lift No. 19 Oklahoma State over Weber State. LaShawn Jones contributed 13 points and Brittney Martin had 11 for Oklahoma State (8-1) in its sixth straight win. Weber State (5-6) opened the second half with an 11-2 run to narrow the gap and later tied the game at 47 on Jalen Carpenter’s layup with 3:02 left. But the Cowgirls quickly retook the lead with a pair of buckets from Johnson and padded their advantage by going 4 for 4 from the foul line down the stretch.

game otherwise devoid of them early. For the final NFL game on Thursday night this year, about the only thing at stake was the inside track for the No. 1 pick, and likely a slightly easier schedule. In this case, the loser had more to gain. The Titans were led by thirdstringer Whitehurst, who was replacing Zach Mettenberger. Whitehurst couldn’t miss at the start, and for the first time this year, the Titans scored a touchdown on their opening possession. Tennessee made it 10-0 in the second and had a 179-16 advantage in yards. But things turned from there, with Bortles, Todman and Marks providing the big plays. “It was a great feeling,” Todman said. “You’re looking up at the scoreboard just hoping you don’t get caught from behind. It was a great call. The line did a good job. I made a guy miss and then it was off to the races. It was just what we needed — just what I needed.” NOTES u The Jaguars gave up four sacks, giving them 66 for the season and breaking the franchise record of 63 set in 2001. Jacksonville has allowed at least four sacks in six consecutive games. u Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart left the game with bruised ribs, tried to return and then sat out for good.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Landlord reluctant to evict a family Dear Annie: I have tenants who are behind in their rent. I’ve let it slide because I’ve been preoccupied with some personal problems. But my problems have been resolved, and now I’d like the back rent. Under the terms of the lease, I could evict right away, and I am tempted. But I worry that if this family is evicted, they will be living in the cold. The biggest issue for me is that these tenants have been smoking, leaving cigarette butts all over the yard. They have been told that their child has a reduced lung capacity, and no one should be smoking anywhere near the boy. Presumably, they only smoke outside, but that includes the covered porch area by the front door, which means the child is exposed to second- and third-hand smoke all the time. (Indoor smoking would be a violation of the lease.) I’ve already asked the tenants to clean up the cigarette butts and the clutter around the front of the apartment and garage. They’ve done a little, but not much. I am tempted to call Child Protective Services about the exposure to cigarette smoke. I realize I can simply wait for the rent, I could evict them and probably never get what is owed, I could use the threat of calling CPS as a lever to get payment, or I could do all of the above. What do you think? — Never Should Have Been a Landlord Dear Never: The child is a separate issue. If you believe he is at risk, you should make a report to the authorities and let them investigate. In most places, even though you have the right to evict, you need to have the police, local sheriff or other enforcement agency physically remove the family from the premises. This takes time. Notify the family in writing how much they owe in back rent, and that you will begin eviction proceedings if they do not start making payments. Dear Annie: My sweetheart and I just rekindled a long-ago attraction. It’s a long-distance relationship, so our visits are fun, but they are increasingly intense as we ponder our future. I’m 63, he’s 68, and we are both youthful

despite the years. “Bob” and I have been single and celibate for more than 12 years. He has not had a significant long-term relationship since his divorce 12 years ago. He remains friends with his ex, the mother of his children. They even play bridge together with another couple — I don’t know whether that’s a factor in our situation. Bob has erectile dysfunction issues. I try not to pressure him, but our makeout sessions arouse me — and then they don’t go any further. Bob feels we should let nature takes its course, meaning sex will happen when it happens, but at our age, I know things can be more complicated. I love him, and I know he loves me, but it makes me sad to envision a sexless future. Advice? — Postmenopausal and Still Frisky Dear Frisky: If Bob has ED issues, nature might never take the course you want. Please ask him to discuss this with his doctor. There are various treatments for ED, and Bob may be willing to try one. There are also other ways to satisfy one’s partner. But ultimately, you must decide how important an active sex life is to your future happiness, because the situation may not improve. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Indy,” the lonely retired teacher who was scraping together part-time jobs and had no social life. You recommended some places where she could volunteer: hospitals, libraries, veterans associations, etc. May I suggest volunteering at the local community theater? It is social, and you get to see the shows for free. We always need folks who have stagecraft experience, but we also need ushers, audition monitors, kid wranglers and all types of helping hands. — S.S. in Indianapolis Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Santa Claus Santa Claus visits with 2-month-old Silas Greenfield at DeVargas Center. TILCARA WEBB/GENERATION NEXT

in anticipation for the visit of famed St. Nick. These Dutch traditions migrated to the United States in the 17th and 18th centuries, and “Sinterklaas” took the Americanized name of Santa Claus. Washington Irving’s Knickerbocker’s History of New York, published in the early 1800s, helped transform St. Nicholas into a pipesmoking, plump, jolly old lad. Soon after a man named Clement Moore published a poem called “A Visit From St. Nicholas” (aka “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”) — and the Santa Claus we know came to life in America, driving a herd of reindeer, sporting a white beard and a soft suit, and delivering gifts to the kiddies. Today, malls are alive with the hustle and bustle of children waiting to talk to Santa. As he does every year, Santa Claus is visiting Santa Fe, stopping at the DeVargas Center to take note of kids’ wish lists. “Most of the kids love Santa as much as Santa loves them,” Santa Claus told Generation Next during a recent interview at the mall. Though there was a time when kids mostly played with toy trucks, trains, dolls and horses, today most of them ask for electronic devices such as iPhones. “I guess you could say that kids nowadays have toys that connect them with other people,” Santa said,

or as long as many can remember, songs and movies and stories have depicted the Christmas Eve adventures of Santa Claus. Letters from children are still postmarked to his North Pole address, and milk and cookies are set out for him when he comes down the chimney. Although children have come to expect Santa during the colder months of the year, the Santa most people know today wasn’t always known as the jolly old fellow decked out in red and white who showed up once a year. Santa Claus has come a long way since his humble beginnings as the Christian icon St. Nicholas. St. Nick lived in the early 14th century in what is now Turkey, and his life brought about the stories of generosity and selflessness that are now hallmarks of Santa Claus. He bestowed his wealth upon others, and his life’s work consisted of charity to those in need, particularly children and sailors. He became a favorite for many, and in some countries, traditions began to arise around his deeds. In Holland and other parts of Europe, children left sweets and treats

What is your favorite part about the holiday season in Santa Fe?

Ruby Loya Capital High “Being with my family.”

Manuel Chavez, Capital High “All the lights on the Plaza, seeing all the Christmas decorations around town is just amazing.”

Brenda Barrios Capital High “The atmosphere, there are a lot of positive vibes.”

Kristin Mackowski, Santa Fe High “My favorite part of the holidays in Santa Fe is the view of the mountains. When the seasons change, the view changes into beautiful yellow hills, then into white, crystal-filled hills.”

adding that the change is a good thing “because it’s bringing the whole world together.” Many kids do ask for gifts that are not toys, Santa said. “A lot of kids see beyond ‘what’s in my toy box’ to what’s going on in the world. And there’s a lot of [requests for] pets … and that’s good, because, again, it gives you a way to get outside of yourself. And there are always kids who would really like something like a mom or a dad, or a brother or sister, or something like that.” Although his image has changed since the time of St. Nicholas, the nature of Santa Claus has stayed the same, he said: “Being Santa means being kind of the point man for the whole Christmas spirit and for the idea that giving is a heck of a lot more fun than receiving, because when you do nothing but get stuff, you turn into an Ebenezer Scrooge. But when you … give people things, you make not just one person happy, you make lots of people happy.” Santa said his elves work very hard in preparation for the big day. “They know why they’re up there at the Pole, and they know that it’s something that’s very important to a lot of kids.” The number of elves working the toy assembly line ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 at once, but rest assured, they get summer and fall

SPEAK OUT

Keagen Edwards “The luminarias because I get to walk and spend time with my family.”

Arlen Lopez, Santa Fe High “What I like about the holiday season here, in Santa Fe, is that everyone gets into it, and it becomes an enjoyable experience.”

5 films to get into the holiday spirit By Emily Davis Generation Next

With Christmas less than a week away, it’s time to curl up in front of the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and a holiday film — and why not revisit your childhood with an animated movie? If you’ve grown tired of endless viewings of Home Alone and It’s a Wonderful Life, it may mean you do not remember the dozens of Christmas movies that have faded into hazy memory. The following animated films, while made for youngsters, will remind even jaded adults of the joy and excitement that can surround the holiday season. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964) and Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town (1970): The long-standing dispute over which of these movies is better necessitates a joint description as Christmas is no time to anger a committed fan. While Rudolph — celebrating its 50th anniversary this year — tells the story of everyone’s favorite reindeer and ends with the message that even misfits can belong. Santa Claus provides a creative background on Kris Kringle’s life and features the voice talents of Fred Astaire and Mickey Rooney. Both heartwarming films include beloved musical numbers, so

it’s hard to say which one takes the cake — which is why rewatching both is a good idea. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965): Charlie Brown has been depressed all year because he can’t understand what Christmas is all about. He likes the presents (when he gets any), the carols and the snow — yet he feels the true meaning of the holiday is hidden by the commercialism that has overwhelmed the event. When Charlie defies his friends’ wish for an aluminum tree by bringing home a real scrawny one — and when Linus delivers a moving message about the meaning of Christmas — the Peanuts gang rediscover the holiness and generosity that are still so crucial to the day. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966): The Grinch (voiced by Boris Karloff) is the antagonist — or maybe protagonist — of this 26-minute TV special. Though his shriveled heart prompts him to steal presents, trees and decorations from the nearby town of Whoville in an attempt to ruin Christmas, the sound of the villagers’ still-cheerful caroling brings about a realization: Christmas isn’t about the external trappings but the gratitude that exists in every soul. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993): Produced and co-written by Tim Burton,

Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035

this movie features skeleton Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon), the king of Halloween Town, who has grown bored with nighttime terrors and is searching for a new life. When he accidentally opens a portal into Christmas Town, his fascination with the holiday makes him attempt to recreate it at home — with disastrous results. After being punished for his skeletal reindeer and shrunken-head stocking stuffers, Jack realizes that he can never take Santa’s place and that he should be thankful to be in the role he was born to fill. The Polar Express (2004): Based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg, this film tells the story of a boy (voiced by Daryl Sabara) who boards an express to the North Pole on Christmas Eve in an effort to prove the existence of Santa Claus. After adventures with two new-found friends, the enigmatic conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks), and the spectral hobo atop the train, the boy arrives at the North Pole and discovers that his journey taught him that the most tangible feelings in the world — Christmas spirit, for example — are things we cannot easily see.

breaks. Asked whether he pays his elves, Santa said, “They get taken care of.” Santa was reluctant to reveal whether he had a favorite reindeer, saying his favorite is whichever he is taking care of at the moment. “Actually,” he said, “there’s a reindeer named Leo, who’s on the second string, and he’s kind of got a cute sense of humor. I kind of like him. But I love them all. Because that’s one of the things that over the past 1,600 and some years I’ve developed — this technique of loving everyone without having any special favorites. They’re all favorites.” The best part about being Santa, he said, is “being able to make people feel better about themselves.” It can get kind of hard with the long, late hours and traveling in the cold winter night, not to mention breathing in a little chimney soot now and then. “But on the whole, it’s pretty good,” Santa said. Santa Claus will be at DeVargas Center mall on Guadalupe Street from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 1 to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas Eve) of next week.

MY VIEW EMILY DAVIS

Why Christmas in Santa Fe is special

have experienced the traditional Canyon Road farolito walk exactly once in my life. I was about 5 years old, and all I can remember about that night was that I was freezing, exhausted and too short to see anything that was going on (if, indeed, anything was). Since then, I have never felt the need to leave my house on Christmas Eve or to take part in any of the activities leading up to Christmas that are supposedly integral to the Santa Fe holiday season. I do not enter the Palace of the Governors, I do not join the Las Posadas procession — though I think it is a lovely custom — and when it comes to winter activities, I confess that I do not ski. Looking at it from a stranger’s perspective, it would seem that I am a sort of Southwestern Scrooge who is shouting “Bah, humbug!” at my hometown’s Christmas traditions and raining on everyone’s Canyon Road parade. And yet, in spite of everything, I volunteered to write about why I love Christmas in Santa Fe. For me, the holidays here have always been more about atmosphere than display, more about unexpected discoveries than attractions that people want to see. I rejoice at the first sight of Christmas lights draped over the fence of the hotel near my house. I feel a leap of excitement when, walking around my neighborhood, I catch the first tang of wood smoke and roasted chile in the air — a smell I will miss when I leave for college next year, for it

can’t possibly exist in any city but mine. Though I refuse to participate in a walk devoted to farolitos, I love to see them winking at me from rooftops and street corners. I wait all year for the special kind of darkness that only comes at Christmas-time — a darkness born of a sky untouched by artificial light, almost holy in its silent promise. One year, my father and I went to buy a Christmas tree, and we couldn’t find one. It was Dec. 21, and our usual sellers had packed up and gone home — as had seemingly every other tree vendor in town. Finally, on a tip from a sympathetic store owner, we drove for miles up Old Pecos Trail and parked on what felt like the top of the highest, most godforsaken mountain in the world. A blizzard suddenly kicked in, yet there stood a small group of men, huddled against the storm, with a few forlorn Christmas trees beside them. Those trees might not have looked as dazzling as the ones in the department stores, but they were fresh — and, despite the snow, the cheerfully smiling men helped us load one into our car. This event, among others, taught me what I now believe about Christmas in Santa Fe: It’s not about the show or the holiday crowd. All you really need to enjoy it is a willing heart and a love of the true — though sometimes hidden — spirit of your hometown. Emily Davis is a senior at Santa Fe Prep.
