Senate panel nixes Roundhouse firearm ban; House advances bill

u Proposed amendment to fund early childhood education moves forward in the Senate.

“The room was so full of firearms that, literally, people were scared,” Wirth said.

He said the state Capitol is analogous to courthouses throughout the state, where weapons are prohibited.

Wirth’s resolution encountered opposition on the Senate Rules Committee from Republicans and some of his fellow Democrats.

Proposals by two Santa Fe lawmakers to ban firearms in parts of the New Mexico state Capitol got scattered results Tuesday.

A prohibition on openly carrying guns in House committee rooms and that chamber’s gallery advanced, while a Senate committee rejected a similar proposal that would have applied to

concealed weapons as well.

The ideological chasm between gun-control advocates and Second Amendment purists was on display at the Roundhouse during the debate.

Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, said he pitched the Senate ban in response to constituents who were fearful and reluctant to voice their opinions at the Roundhouse last year, when they were surrounded with armed opponents of gun-control legislation.

The ride hasn’t always been easy, and there are things Gonzales wishes he could do over, but the youngest of the three candidates for mayor of Santa Fe insists he has emerged wiser and stronger.

“I know that over the course of 20 years, there have been points in my life where I’ve been able to learn from decisions I’ve made, or others that I’ve been around, to become not only a better person but a better public servant,” he said. “That really is what our lives are all about, evolving and becoming better.”

Now Gonzales, whose ambition helped him win election to the Santa Fe County Commission while he was still in his 20s and who most recently served as state Democratic Party chairman, wants to take what he’s learned to the Santa Fe mayor’s office for the

BERLIN — A United Nations committee on Wednesday issued a scathing indictment of the Catholic Church’s handling of child sexual abuse involving clerics, releasing a report that went far beyond how the church responded to abuse allegations and included criticism of its teachings on homosexuality, gender equality and abortion.

“The Committee is concerned that the Holy See and Church-run institutions do not recognize the existence of diverse forms of families and often discriminate against children on the basis of their family situation,” the report by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child said.

Addressing the long-running clergy sexual abuse scandal, the authors wrote: “Child victims and their families have often been blamed by religious authorities, discredited and discouraged from pursuing their complaints and in some instances humiliated.”

The report demanded that the Vatican immediately turn over to criminal investigators any clerics known or suspected of abuse. It condemned a “code of silence” within the church against reporting acts of abuse to authorities, and called on the Vatican to release a mountain of documents on internal investigations of abuse cases around the globe.

The scope of the report appeared to infuriate the Vatican — which last month sent two top officials to appear before the U.N. committee in Geneva for the first public accounting of the Holy See’s handling of abuse allegations. Officials said they were still studying the findings, but responded angrily to what they described as recommendations that were ideologically biased and said the United Nations had no right to weigh in on a broad range of socially conservative church teachings.

“Trying to ask the Holy See to change its teachings is not negotiable,” Silvano Maria Tomasi, the Vatican’s permanent observer at the United Nations in Geneva, told Vatican Radio.

At a time when the Vatican has been riding a wave of positive publicity surrounding Pope Francis, the report once again shone a spotlight on the single largest stain on the

Robotic hand engineered with sense of touch

By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON o feel what you touch — that’s the holy grail for artificial limbs. In a step toward that goal, European researchers created a robotic hand that let an amputee feel differences between a bottle, a baseball and a mandarin orange.

The patient only got to experiment with the bulky prototype for a week, and it’s far from the bionics of science fiction movies. But the research released Wednesday is part of a major effort to create more lifelike, and usable, prosthetics.

“It was just amazing,” said Dennis Aabo Sorensen of Aalborg, Denmark, who lost his left hand in a fireworks accident a decade ago and volunteered to pilot-test the new prosthetic. “It was the closest I have had to feeling like a normal hand.”

This isn’t the first time scientists have tried to give some sense of touch to artificial hands; a few other pilot projects have been reported in the U.S. and Europe. But this newest experiment, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, shows Sorensen not only could tell differences in the shape and hardness of objects, he also could quickly react and adjust his grasp.

“It was interesting to see how fast he was able to master this,” said neuroengineer Silvestro Micera of Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, who led the Swiss and Italian research team. “He was able to use this information immediately in a quite sophisticated way.”

Scientists have made great strides in recent years in improving the dexterity of prosthetics. But the sense of touch has been a much more difficult challenge, and is one reason that many patients don’t use their prosthetic hands as much as they’d like.

Consider: Grab something and your own hand naturally grasps with just enough force to hang on.

Users of prosthetic hands have to carefully watch every motion, judging by eye instead of touch how tightly to squeeze. The results can be clumsy, with dropped dishes or crushed objects.

“You always have to look and see what’s going on, so that’s what is so much different from this new hand that I tried,” Sorensen, 36, said.

First, doctors at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital implanted tiny electrodes inside two nerves — the ulnar and median nerves — in the stump of Sorensen’s arm.

When researchers zapped them with a weak electrical signal, Sorensen said it felt like his missing fingers were moving, showing the nerves still could relay information.

Meanwhile, Micera’s team put sensors on two fingers of a robotic hand, to detect information about what the artificial fingers touched.

For one week, cords snaked from a bandage on Sorensen’s arm to the artificial hand, and the elec-

trodes zapped the nerves in proportion to what the sensors detected. They essentially created a loop that let the robotic hand rapidly communicate with Sorensen’s brain.

“It is really putting the brain back in control of the system,” said biomedical engineer Dustin Tyler of Case Western Reserve University, who leads a team in Ohio that recently created and tested a similar touch-enabled hand.

Added neurobiologist Andrew Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh: “It shows with a few sensors and some pretty elementary technology, that they can recover a fair amount of functionality.”

Micera cautioned that it will take several years to create a first-generation artificial hand that can feel, and looks more like a traditional prosthetic.

MINNEAPOLIS — A day after Rachel Fredrickson won the latest season of The Biggest Loser, after shedding nearly 60 percent of her body weight, attention wasn’t focused on her $250,000 win — but rather the criticism surrounding her loss.

Experts cautioned that regardless of her current weight, the criticism being levied on social media about her losing too much isn’t helpful.

A more constructive message is needed, they say, centering on overall healthy living and body image.

The 5-foot-4, 24-year-old Frederickson dropped from 260 pounds to 105 under the show’s rigorous exercise and diet regimen, and time spent on her own before the finale. She was a three-time state champion swimmer at Stillwater Area High School in Minnesota, then turned to sweets for solace after a failed romance with a foreign exchange student she followed to his native Germany.

Frederickson’s newly thin frame lit up Twitter on Wednesday, with many viewers pointing to the surprised expressions on the faces of trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper during the show’s Tuesday night finale. Many tweeted that Fredrickson looked anorexic and unhealthy, while others congratulated her for dropping 155 pounds.

Jillian Lampert, senior director of the Emily Program, an eating disorder treatment program based in St. Paul, said Frederickson’s body mass index is below the normal range.

But she said the criticism directed against her isn’t helpful.

“As a society we often criticize people for being at higher weights — that’s part of why we have the TV show The Biggest Loser — and then we feel free to criticize lower weight,” Lampert said.

A more constructive message to send young people would center on well-rounded health and the importance of eating well, moving well and sleeping well, she said.

“We certainly see a lot of people who struggle with eating disorders who use the same behaviors on that show to an extreme,” she said. “That can’t be helpful.”

continue to sell tobacco products?’ ” he said. “There’s really no good answer to that at all.”

CVS, based in Woonsocket, R.I., follows a precedent set by other drugstores. Most independent pharmacies abstain from tobacco sales, according to the National Community Pharmacists Association. Pharmacies in Europe also don’t sell cigarettes, and neither does major U.S. retailer Target Corp., which operates some pharmacies in its stores.

But the world’s largest retailer, WalMart Stores Inc., which also operates pharmacies, does sell tobacco. So do CVS competitors Walgreen Co. and Rite Aid Corp.

Both Walgreen and Rite Aid representatives said Wednesday that they are always evaluating what they offer customers and whether that meets their needs.

The question of whether to sell tobacco is complex for retailers because

it’s a revenue driver. Dollar stores such as Family Dollar have started selling it over the last couple of years, and they note that smokers make more frequent stops at retailers in order to buy tobacco.

That’s an important factor because these customers also may pick up other items when they visit.

In fact, CVS said that while it has about $1.5 billion annually in tobacco sales, it expects to lose about $2 billion in annual revenue by removing tobacco because smokers also buy other products when they visit.

Overall, the company brought in more than $123 billion in total revenue in 2012.

But CVS is in a unique position from some of its peers. While it trails only Walgreen in terms of number of drugstores, it draws most of its revenue from its pharmacy benefits management, or PBM, business. PBMs run prescription drug plans for employers, insurers and other customers.

House GOP rules out immigration overhaul Republicans to wait until next year to tackle reforms

By Donna Cassata The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Conservative Republicans on Wednesday ruled out any immigration legislation in the House this year, insisting that the GOP should wait until next year when the party might also control the Senate.

House GOP leaders unveiled their broad immigration principles last week that gave hope to advocates and the Obama administration that the first changes in the nation’s laws in three decades might happen in the coming months.

Immigration legislation is one of the top priorities for Obama’s second term.

But several of the conservatives were adamant that the House should do nothing on the issue this year, a midterm election year when the GOP is angling to gain six seats in the Senate and seize majority control. Democrats currently have a 55-45 advantage but are defending more seats, including ones in Republican-leaning states.

to have an internal battle in the Republican Party this year about immigration reform,” Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, told reporters at a gathering of conservatives.

“I think when we take back the Senate in 2014, one of the first things we should do next year after we do certain economic issues, I think we should address the immigration issue.”

Labrador’s comments were noteworthy as he was one of eight House members working on bipartisan immigration legislation last year. He later abandoned the negotiations.

“This is not an issue that’s ready for prime time to move legislatively,” said Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, who said Republicans should use the principles to begin a dialogue with Hispanics.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the House should focus on the four bills dealing with security that the Judiciary Committee approved last summer. Absent any action on those bills, Jordan said it would be tough to do any immigration legislation this year.

The definitive statements from the conservatives came as Douglas Elmendorf, the head

of the Congressional Budget Office, told a House panel that the comprehensive, Senatepassed immigration bill would have a positive impact on the nation’s finances.

The Senate last June passed a bipartisan bill that would tighten border security, provide enforcement measures and offer a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.

The measure has stalled in the House where, Speaker John Boehner and other leaders have rejected a comprehensive approach in favor of a bill-bybill process.

Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee that a CBO

analysis “found that that legislation would reduce budget deficits and lead to a larger economy and over time lead to higher output per person in this country.”

Specifically, he said additional workers, especially high-skilled, highly educated employees, would increase the nation’s tax revenues.

The House leaders’ broad principles would tighten border and interior security, establish a verification system for employers and legalize some of the 11 million immigrants. It would not provide a special path to citizenship to those living here illegally, though it would give children brought to the country by their parents a shot a citizenship.

easier for CVS to disavow tobacco, according to Morningstar analyst Vishnu Lekraj. He noted that Walgreen, Rite Aid and other mass retailers depend more on convenience goods for their sales. Even so, he said he thinks Walgreen may eventually follow CVS and remove tobacco because it also has emphasized its role as a health care provider.

Gabelli Funds analyst Jeff Jonas agrees. “I think once one chain does it, the other one really has to follow,” he said. Gabelli noted, though, that Rite Aid may be less likely to do so because it hasn’t made the same in-store investment in clinics as the other chains.

Either way, the move by CVS highlights the pressure companies that sell tobacco are facing to kick that habit. Tobacco is responsible for about 480,000 deaths a year in the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration, which gained the authority to regulate tobacco products in 2009.

THE NEW MEXICAN Thursday, February 6, 2014

Gonzales: Candidates comes from a politically active family Continued from Page A-1 At one of the first mayoral forums, the candidates were asked whether they had any potential conflicts of interest if elected mayor. Gonzales disclosed two. He works at a commercial realty and asset management company with local property interests, and his family owns a local radio station, KSWV-AM, that does business with the city.

He failed to mention that he also is on the board of Century Bank, owned

by Santa Fe businessman Gerald Peters. He did disclose the relationship in a later interview with The New Mexican and said he would resign from the board if elected mayor.

Gonzales also is on the board of American Rivers, a Washington, D.C.,based nonprofit “dedicated to protecting and restoring America’s rivers.” He said he would resign from that board, too, if elected.

As mayor, Gonzales said, he would focus on the environment, the economy and education, though the latter is primarily the responsibility of the local school board and state government. He has secured a pile of endorsements, including the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club, labor groups and several current and former city councilors, among them: District 2 Councilor Rebecca Wurzburger and former councilors Cris Moore and Jimmie Martinez.

“I think his vision is broader, more encompassing,” said Coss, who also is backing Gonzales.

Gonzales’ political résumé includes two terms as a county commissioner and a term as president of the National Association of Counties.

He also served as state Democratic Party chairman for four years. Former Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, appointed Gonzales to the Board of Regents at New Mexico Highlands University and then to his current position as a New Mexico State University regent.

He said he would be leaving the NMSU board when his term finishes this year.

Politics run deep in Gonzales’ family. His father, George Gonzales, served as Santa Fe mayor from 1968 to 1972 and made an unsuccessful bid for Congress. His grandfather, Juan Vigil, served as state auditor in the 1920s.

“Certainly around the dinner table and in campaigns that my father would get involved in, I was exposed to various campaigns, from Gov. King’s to statehouse races right here in Santa Fe,” Gonzales said, referring to the late Bruce King.

“It did give me some exposure, but I think that the desire to serve publicly runs deeper in me than just my dad’s time in office,” he said. “I think, generationally, in my family there’s been this

desire to serve and to be involved.”

Gonzales was born and raised in Santa Fe but moved to the Española area as a teenager after his father became ill and the family fell on hard financial times.

After graduating from Pojoaque High School in 1984, Gonzales went to New Mexico State University, where he obtained an accounting degree. In 1989, he landed his first job at a public accounting firm in El Paso. He moved back to Santa Fe in 1991 to join the family business, Que Suave Radio.

Now 47, he burst onto the local political scene at age 27, when he was elected to the County Commission.

Gonzales took on the role of chairman of the commission and was considered by some a rising star in the Democratic Party at the time. He served on the executive committee of the National Association of Counties, and was its youngest and first Hispanic president.

Gonzales said he saw challenges facing Santa Fe County, especially around growth issues, and decided to seek public office.

“Santa Fe’s answer to affordable housing was massive sprawl that was taking place on the south side of the city,” he said. “Families would be able to afford modular homes, but they were basically putting them in areas that had substandard infrastructure.”

Gonzales includes efforts to protect open space and the county’s first affordable housing ordinance among his biggest achievements as a county commissioner.

But his two terms in office were marked by controversy from start to finish. It began when Gonzales, part of a new three-commissioner majority, called for the resignation of all department heads. It ended when he resigned four months early to take a job with a consulting company.

Nearly 20 years later, Gonzales says he had the best of intentions, but not necessarily the right approach.

“I came in ready to really elevate the county as quickly as possible,” he said. “I really felt like people wanted change in the county, and I was very aggressive early on in wanting to deliver it. In looking back … and I’ve said this continuously throughout this campaign, my intentions were right to try and elevate the county to new levels. I think what I’ve learned since is that the process is almost as important as your intentions.”

Not everybody has been so forgiving.

Former City Councilor Steven Farber, a local attorney and staunch Bushee supporter, charges that Gonzales has “a track record of extraordinarily poor decision-making.”

Farber said the County Commission’s handling of a major project to build a new jail ranks among the top.

As mayor, Javier Gonzales said, he would focus on the environment, the economy and education.

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/ THE NEW MEXICAN

“There was a need to do something, for sure. But there was no reason to build a jail twice the size that was necessary for a community of our size,” said Farber, noting that the county expectation that the facility would make a profit never was realized.

The jail averages 545 beds filled per night of the 590 available, say county officials, who have worked to fill empty beds to help offset costs. The jail is the county’s biggest operating expense, which is not unusual for counties, which are under a state mandate to operate jails.

Before he dropped out of the mayor’s race, former County Manager Roman “Tiger” Abeyta said the facility created a “financial disaster” for the county and also sparked a Department of Justice investigation because of “dangerous and unsafe confinement of inmates.”

But Abeyta says now that the county needed a bigger facility. “The only facility they had was the facility off Airport Road, and it was too small,” he said.

Abeyta, whose sister is married to Gonzales’ brother, a factor in his decision to abandon his own mayoral bid, later endorsed Gonzales in the mayor’s race.

Gonzales said his primary concern was safety in the old jail, which housed men, women and juveniles under the same roof. “There was a continuous overcrowding that took place,” he said. “I constantly worried about what overcrowding would do to create harm to any of these individuals in there.”

The jail is connected to another decision Gonzales says served as a learning lesson early in his political career.

In 2000, after private operator Cornell Corrections took over management of the jail, Gonzales voted in favor of allowing Cornell to generate more revenue by using it to lock up undocumented immigrants convicted of nonviolent crimes. Gonzales was friends with the company’s former top executive at the time.

After stiff opposition from immigrant-rights advocates, area residents and clergy, Gonzales reversed his vote.

Gonzales said meeting with people who would be affected by the policy showed him its human impact and made him rethink his stand.

“It was a very profound moment for me,” he said.

The county took back control over the jail from private hands under Abeyta’s tenure as county manager.

Gonzales resigned four months before the end of his second term to take a job with Accenture, a global management consulting firm. Gonzales currently is employed by Rosemont Realty, a commercial property company in Santa Fe. Gonzales said when he resigned as a county commissioner, there were no outstanding policy issues. “It was one of those decisions that I made for my family,” he said.

At Highlands, Gonzales was chairman of the Board of Regents in 2006, when it voted to oust former university president and onetime state legislative leader Manny Aragon during a period of stormy relations between the faculty and the administration.

Aragon received a $200,000 payout to leave, but Gonzales points to that decision as the start of a brighter era for the university.

“In retrospect, I think many people will point to that period as a turning point” for the university, he said.

Aragon later served time in a federal prison for his involvement in an unrelated public corruption case in Albuquerque.

Gonzales, who is using public financing for his campaign, has drawn criticism for receiving the backing of two political action committees, which can independently spend money in support of a candidate. So far, the two PACs have paid for opposition research and polling. A labor union that endorsed Gonzales also has offered to pay its members $11 an hour to do member-to-member campaigning on Gonzales’ behalf.

The spending is legal, but critics say it flouts the spirit of public financing.

Gonzales has said he has no involvement with the PACs and has publicly called on them to stay out of the race.

Gonzales’ work with the state Democratic Party has helped him draw supporters locally as well as endorsements from well outside city limits.

House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, said Gonzales is a leader

who has the ability to work with all sides. “Time after time, he’s demonstrated his leadership skills by navigating the most difficult situations,” Martinez said.

Critics say Gonzales is skilled in using his positions and associations to maneuver business deals with government officials, such as the one involving Santa Fe Studios. The private film studio off N.M. 14 has received more than $10 million in public funds earmarked for economic development. Gonzales, whose work included advising the company on county and state grant processes, said in November 2009 that he was a “principal” in the project. Two years later, he said had decided not to be a partner and that his consulting work early on was unpaid.

Gonzales, who was married for 12 years and has two young daughters, was divorced in 2012.

Gonzales has faced other struggles, including financial troubles, from failing to repay a student loan, which resulted a 1991 lawsuit that eventually was settled, to failing to pay his water bills on time. Last year, a mortgage company filed a complaint against Gonzales, saying he was in default on an $800,000 home loan.

“I did not pay as much attention as I should of and certainly fell behind enough where it caused the action to take place, but it’s been remedied and corrected,” he said, “and there’s no outstanding issues there.”

Gonzales came out as a gay man last year, a decision he said he struggled with, coming from a traditional Hispanic family.

“The people who matter in my life, like my children and my family, have been very supportive and embraced me and understand the difficulties,” he said.

With Gonzales’ long political résumé, it is perhaps not surprising that one of the more frequent complaints from his opponents is that he simply wants the mayor’s seat as a stepping stone to higher office.

Gonzales, who twice has considered running for Congress, said he had options to run for statewide office after serving as state Democratic Party chairman, including lieutenant governor and treasurer.

“But it’s not where I want to serve,” Gonzales said. “I want to serve as mayor in the community that I grew up in, mostly because I think that there are some real challenges facing Santa Fe that I believe my experience puts me in certainly the best position to help get through.”

U.N.: Panel launched investigation last year Continued from Page A-1 Catholic Church’s global image: Its handling of allegations of sexual abuse by clerics.

The Vatican had been bracing itself for the report. Following massive revelations of sexual abuse by clerics in Europe in 2010, the U.N. committee, which is headquartered in Geneva, launched its own investigation last year. The Vatican declined the committee’s request to review internal files and data on abuse cases.

The report said that in some cases, confidentiality has been imposed on child victims and their families as a precondition of financial compensation. The panel also charged the church with obstructing efforts in certain countries to extend the statute of limitations for criminal or civil cases, and with failing to hold the church hierarchy responsible for burying or failing to respond to allegations.

The committee “is gravely concerned that the Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed, has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators,” the report concluded.

The committee condemned church doctrine that it views as out of step with the principles of human rights and child welfare.

In blunt language that was a sharp departure from the polite wording so often embraced by diplomats, the committee took particularly aim at church stances on sexual orientation, reproductive health and gender equality.

“While also noting as positive the progressive statement delivered in July 2013 by Pope Francis, the Committee is concerned about the Holy See’s past statements and declarations on homosexuality which contribute to the social stigmatization of and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adolescents and children raised by same sex couples,” the report said.

Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said “anyone bringing attention to the problem [of sex abuse] is moving toward solving it.” But she strongly criticized the U.N. report for weaving issues like contra-

ception and abortion into the report.

“Unfortunately, they weakened it by throwing in the whole kitchen sink,” she said Wednesday. “Those are culture war issues. Sex abuse isn’t a culture war issue — it’s a sin and a crime.”

U.N. officials in Geneva described the investigation as only one of many periodic reviews it conducts of sovereign states that are signatories of Convention on the Rights of the Child, which the Holy See ratified in 1990.

They said the panel’s report veered beyond the sexual abuse cases because it found the other topics relevant to the Vatican’s compliance with all articles of the convention.

Officials dismissed suggestions from the Vatican that the report was biased, and perhaps even written in advance of the hearings on the abuse cases last month.

“Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is something that we have raised with many states,” Kirsten Sandberg, chairwoman of the committee, said in a statement. “This is nothing special. We are not going outside the scope of the Convention.”

Katherine Gallagher, senior staff attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights, said the convention “sets out a number of provisions for child welfare.”

“Access to reproductive justice, for instance, is a health issue and is clearly something within the committee’s purview,” she said.

For more than a decade, the church has been rocked by widespread allegations of sexual abuse in the United States, Europe and beyond. Church response to clergy sex abuse has varied widely from country to country. In some places, church authorities offer only bare-bones support for survivors, and the legal system leaves oversight entirely to the church.

The U.S. church, on the other hand, has made major institutional changes since the crisis first became public in 2002, and now requires extensive background checks for church volunteers, screening for priests and a strict reporting of abuse allegations to law enforcement authorities.

Walsh said church leaders in other nations look to the U.S. for guidance on how to combat clergy sex abuse. “Tens of thousands of people have been trained.

There is no safer place for a child at this

point than the Catholic Church.”

Independent studies show that allegations of abuse inside the United States have decreased sharply as screening and monitoring of potential abusers have increased.

But critics say no top U.S. church official has been held legally accountable for allowing abuse to fester. One senior official was convicted in 2012 of covering up abuse, but his conviction was overturned in December.

Since becoming pope 10 months ago, Francis has called addressing the child abuse allegations important to restoring the church’s credibility. In December, the Vatican announced the creation of a new commission on abuse cases that would directly inform the pope on progress of investigations and come up with new initiatives to combat the problem.

Victims abuse groups, which hailed the U.N. report on Wednesday, have said the committee launched by Francis amounts to too little, too late.

Vatican observers said the U.N. report would make clear to church authorities that, despite the overwhelmingly positive response to the new pontiff, it still needs to do more to address allegations of abuse.

But delving into doctrine also appeared to put the church on the defensive, giving church officials an opportunity to accuse their accusers of offering a subjective critique of conservative values.

“The church is fully aware of the gravity of the sexual abuse problem and is doing everything possible to respond to it in the countries where this issue has surfaced,”said the Rev. Thomas Rosica, head of the Catholic television network Salt and Light and an English-language spokesman for the Vatican.

Rosica noted that the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child, passed in 1959, said children must be protected “before as well as after birth” — and questioned the decision of the committee to challenge church teaching on abortion in its new report.

“Here the report goes into murky waters, it interferes in doctrinal teachings and contradicts itself,” Rosica said. “My concern is, as the Holy See has said, it regrets to see an attempt to interfere with Catholic teaching and the free exercise of religious freedom.

This sign, posted outside a Senate committee room where a proposed gun ban was nixed Tuesday, asserts a new rule prohibiting chewing gum.

PATRICK MALONE THE NEW MEXICAN

Ban: Guards won’t screen for gum Continued from Page A-1 time,” said Senate Sergeant at Arms Dave Pacheco, who authorized posting the sign after hearing the staff’s complaints. “Gum’s getting on the floor and stuff.”

The prohibition on chewing gum will last for the duration of the legislative session, but won’t apply during the interim. It wormed its way into the debate taking place inside the committee room.

Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto, D-Albuquerque, used the gum ban to underscore his objections to adopting more restrictive security at the Roundhouse.

“There wasn’t a mouthcheck as people walked through the door,” he said, just as visitors to the Capitol should not be checked for guns, in the senator’s opinion.

The Senate’s security chief said he won’t direct his staff to screen entrants to committee rooms for gum.

Instead, those observed to be chewing gum will be politely asked to throw it in the trash, Pacheco said.

Meanwhile, Senate security will continue to deal with carrying firearms as it has for time immemorial: It won’t.

“I’ve been here for 20-some years, and I’ve seen guys toting guns on their hips for years,” Pacheco said.

Still others legally carry concealed weapons because they have obtained permits.

Pacheco knows they’re out there, but he doesn’t know who they are.

“We don’t get a list of concealed carriers,” he said. “I don’t know who’s carrying or not.”

Detective Mike Sindelar of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Department said secrecy keeps would-be wrongdoers guessing and occupants of the Capitol safe. He expressed that position on behalf of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association to the Senate Rules Committee on Tuesday before it rejected a proposed ban on firearms in Senate committee rooms and the gallery overlooking the chamber.

“New Mexico is refreshing because of the relationship the government has with its citizens by allowing them to carry guns right here in the halls of where the laws are made,” Sindelar said as he walked out of the Senate committee room, chomping on a piece of gum.

What can the City do to make Santa Fe a more sustainable community, particularly for water resources?

Choose one of the biggest problems facing Santa Fe today and explain how you would deal with it.

Do you support Charter Amendment #9, the “strong mayor” proposal? Why or why not?

What are the most important steps the City should take to balance its budget?

What would you do as Mayor to increase openness and transparency in City government?

There are numerous issues facing Santa Feans. Insuring that growth doesn’t exceed available resources, particularly water; insuring that the Governing Body balances the budget while meeting law enforcement and fire needs; given the state of our economy, insuring that infrastructure continues to improve to meet the expectations of our citizens. Reducing drugs and property crimes are also important to residents. It is also critical to the hospitality industry to provide safe streets for tourists.

NO! As a member of the City Council, I voted to place the matter before the voters, but as an individual, I won’t vote for it. For a community this size, I believe that the amendments propose too much power for a Mayor. I’m satisfied that our current system is appropriate. The problem of turnover in the City Manager position is more complex than simply the power struggle between the Council and the Mayor.

The City budget must be balanced by law. The City Council has little opportunity to affect revenue.

Spending is the key. Hiring a City Manager, Finance Director and Department Directors with strong management credentials and commitment to efficient and effective government is critical. A thorough audit of Departments is required and each will develop a five year plan to not only maintain a balanced budget, but also to find better ways to govern creatively.

I am committed to a City government more open, accountable, and responsive to citizens. We need a Governing Body which aims to empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. There are a number of cities around the nation ahead of us on this initiative. We will look at what has been successful elsewhere, using the latest technologies, then customize and implement them to specifically serve residents of Santa Fe.

The City should a) continue its aggressive conservation programs to encourage energy and water savings; b) encourage creative opportunities to decrease the use of automobiles; c) insure that energy-efficient building codes that are currently in place are met; d) insure that the City considers its own carbon footprint when planning and building; e) continue to evaluate and implement energyefficient processes for City buildings.

Multi-stakeholder collaboration will encourage all residents to contribute to the solutions.

We must stop making promises about job creation and start creating jobs.

New jobs come from small, locallyowned business. We will expand our incentive programs helping small businesses take root and grow, and attracting new small businesses to town; we must complete our broadband infrastructure; we will put our new bio-tech incubator to work; we must continue our support for the creative industries. We must provide an atmosphere that promotes entrepreneurship – not discourages it.

I initially disagreed with the “strong mayor” proposal. I could not support the amendment as originally proposed because it over-reached; it eliminated the checks and balances provided by the City Council. Now that it has been revised to require a “super majority” of Council votes before a city manager could be fired, I am comfortable that balance has been restored. I support the “strong mayor” amendment that will appear on the ballot on March 4th.

The first step is to conduct a full audit and review of city projects and departments to ensure that every resource we have is being used efficiently and effectively.

The second step is to reverse the loss of $80 million dollars in city revenue resulting from last year’s State corporate tax give-away. We cannot raise gross receipts tax to offset that loss. It’s regressive, hurting those who can least afford it, and stymies job growth.

I am committed to an open government that serves its citizens. I will begin by putting together a professional management team that will be fair, transparent and ethical. We will open up the “closed door” executive sessions. We will implement a transparent and open bidding process for city projects. We will provide increased access to public records. We will demand a full audit and review of city projects and departments for efficiency, effectiveness and compliance.

Santa Fe must continue to be a leader in community solar, renewable energy and green building programs. But on the issue of water, we are not in this alone. We must work with the County, State and Federal Park Services to protect the watershed. We need to implement improved catchment techniques. We should make plumbing code changes to expand gray water usage for irrigation. And we need to support investigating the possibility of wastewater recycling.

Jobs. Start a Jobs Council to match the needs of City’s businesses to the education and training we provide.

Market arts & cultures and tourism more aggressively. I will go anywhere to “sing” Santa Fe’s praises - literally.

Support new arts districts – 2nd Street, St. Michaels Drive, Siler Road.

Become the Independent Film Capitol with pre- and post- production.

Develop apprenticeship programs for plumbers, electricians and other trades; but also for technology, film and arts.

Yes. We need stability in the City Manager position. In recent years we have lost a City Manager on average every 21 months. We have to stop individuals from interfering in the daily operation of the City. The Mayor is the only position elected by the whole population of the City. Santa Feans want to hold the Mayor responsible for what happens. The Mayor should have the power necessary to be accountable.

Grow our film, arts, culture, and tourism. The Breaking Bad bill alone resulted in $3 million more GRT revenue in this year’s first 6 months. We have 700 non-profits in Santa Fe. We should partner with them on City goals that they can all contribute funds to, such as after school and youth recreational programs. Work with the legislature to give us a greater share of liquor tax and to reinstate the “hold harmless” provision.

Make myself available to the press.

Use social media to answer questions and to give information to the public.

Use the City’s new website for posting as much as we can about City operations and decisions. Continuing to broadcast Council meetings as well as meetings of all City Council committees. Continue to have a weekly radio show for the Mayor with call-in question time. Encourage the Councilors to do the same.

Require water harvesting, permeable pavement, xeriscaping on all new projects. Take a regional approach to thinning the forests along the Rio Grande corridor. Make 100% of City facilities solar. Create Santa Fe Verde, a local green investment fund, to begin a “community solar garden” to provide solar electricity to every business and home. Conduct City energy & water audits, measure results, and set up a savings fund that can invest in more sustainability projects.

What in your background uniquely qualifies you to be on the City Council?

I’m a successful business owner; I can set goals and evaluate outcomes. I understand land use having served seven years on the Planning Commission and worked in affordable housing at Homewise. I have the knowledge, skills and experience to work with other Councilors and get things done.

My life experience. I know how to listen to both sides of a disagreement and bring people to a mutual understanding. I have been in the financial services industry for almost thirty years. I have a vested interest in the future of Santa Fe because of my children & grandchild.

MICHAEL J. SEGURA

A-7

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

4-year term. annual salary: $29,500 Do you support Charter Amendment #9, the “strong mayor” proposal? Why or why not?

We need good jobs, smart growth and a vibrant economy. Working with our education partners - Santa Fe Public Schools and Santa Fe Community College to make sure we are training and educating our future workers with the skills they need to participate in the new economy, and auditing our economic developments to make sure our dollars are being well-spent. A challenge we face in Santa Fe is building a sustainable, strong, and inclusive economy.

I attended numerous Charter Commission meetings. I deeply respect the work of the Commission and I will support the Commission recommendation of the full time Mayor Amendment with some reservation. One concern is the extra cost of a full time Mayor and City Manager. The tradeoff is having a City Manager with administrative and managerial skills who can operate with much less interference from individual members of the Governing Body.

First do an annual evaluation of programs for efficiency and effectiveness.

Are we spending our money in the right places and getting good value? These evaluations should be open to the public.

Continue to promote growth in existing industries like tourism and movie making and welcome new business is essential. We must not let any Federal or State grants go unsecured. Fees are our largest revenue source, let’s be SURE they are collected properly.

Complete utilization of the City website.

We should have sign-ups for enotifications for meetings, agendas, minutes and news.

Complete information on bond packages including vote information, current status, and financial data – full information from design to construction. The web site should also show a complete financial picture of the budget. A simple breakdown of revenue source, how budgeted to departments, expenditures and employee salaries. I favor very limited use of executive sessions.

Water sustainability could be enhanced by passing the 2012 Green Plumbing and Mechanical Supplement to the UPC code.

This would reduce maximum flush volume, reduce kitchen faucet flow rates, require water meters on qualifying irrigation systems and standards for allowing nonpotable water back into a building for reuse. I would also like to promote the use of dual flush toilets and no water urinals. Implementing these would save nearly 30% of current use.

One of the biggest problems I see is the lack of a skilled workforce. We need to start educating our children and retraining our citizens in career fields that will thrive in Santa Fe, Industries like renewable energy and the film industry. These industries are the future of Santa Fe. If we build it they will come, Santa Fe is fortunate to be a destination city for quality of life issues.

Yes, I support this amendment. Santa Fe is no longer a small city. We are growing and the Mayor needs to be fulltime and have decision making authority. There are some things that I don’t agree with 100% such as the hiring and firing of some top administrators, but overall it is a good compromise. You need a Captain of a ship just as much as you need a CEO of a corporation.

The first thing that needs to be done as matter of due diligence is to conduct a comprehensive audit. How can we balance a budget without knowing where we stand financially? Performing an audit will not only reveal any potential problems it will let us be a proactive council instead of a reactive council. I think it should be standard practice that an audit be performed anytime there is a change in administrations.

The first thing I would do is set up an employee fraud and abuse hotline. I would make sure that all city contracts are posted on the city’s website along with any other pertinent information on the budget and spending. I would advertise to the public that all this information is available to them at anytime online or by filing a request at city hall. I would ask the public for any suggestions.

I would first build a solar farm on the old dumpsite behind Casa Solana and put solar panels on all city buildings this energy will offset our reliance on PNM and save us money. As for water I would implement a program that would prioritize a program that detects leaks and looks for sudden increases in a household usage. I would implement a gray water retrofit program for older building and homes.

What would you do What are the most as a City Councilor important steps to increase the City should openness and take to balance its transparency in budget?

City government?

What can the City do to make Santa Fe a more sustainable community, particularly for water resources?

Choose one of the biggest problems facing Santa Fe today and explain how you would deal with it.

As a Santa Fe business owner for 24 years and life-long Santa Fean, I have a unique perspective on the needs and desires of our citizens. I have many nieces and nephews and my own daughter growing up in Santa Fe, and I want to give them a better future.

I support it, with one reservation. I am concerned about the provision that would allow the mayor to fire the city clerk, city manager, and city attorney without Council approval. However, overall it is a step in the right direction.

First we need to eliminate waste and fraud. For example, there is a lease between the City and a restaurant at the Santa Fe Airport where the tenant is paying 11 times less than other tenants at the airport, and there are serious questions about expenditures on a $30.3 million parks bond. These and similar issues must be addressed before we have a clear idea of what needs to be done to balance the budget.

First, the rate of executive sessions entered into by Santa Fe’s City Council is too high.

Also, more detailed information about City departments’ budgets and City-funded programs should be available online.

JOE H. ARELLANO

I am concerned about the vicious cycle between our low graduation rate, youth drug abuse, crime, and homelessness. We need to work more closely with the public schools to make sure City education initiatives support SFPS curriculum, and to create new city-public schools partnerships to help kids graduate. We also need to talk to our young people to find out what kinds of new activities they would participate in if offered Joeharellano4district2@gmail.com by the City.

505-470-1615

I think the City needs a new campaign to raise awareness among the citizens on how to conserve water. On such a campaign, if we inform the public on how to reduce 2 gallons per person per day, we could save over 62 million gallons of water per year. We also need to research how we can be at the cutting edge of water conservation, reuse, and catchment from rooftops.

JOSEPH M. MAESTAS

One challenge is the absence of a diversified economy. We must attract high-wage jobs in emerging industries in the green, technology, and knowledge-based sectors and leverage opportunities through our creative arts, business incubator, and existing business parks.

I support building the proposed Santa Fe e-Cequia Project - a $10M community-wide, fiber optic backbone that would provide high-speed broadband to key community injosephmaestasforsantafe@gmail.com stitutions and potentially extend coverage to thousands who don’t have Internet access.

505-929-0955

I believe in the checks and balances of power. I support almost all of what’s proposed in Amendment #9 with a few changes. I would include the police chief along with the other appointed officials that can be suspended or fired by the mayor. I would also require the council to subsequently ratify the mayor’s action by a two-third majority. I support Amendment #8 allowing the Mayor to vote on all governing body matters.

Rather than raise taxes, the city must stop having many personnel positions vacant to create budget savings – this creates instability in the organization and services; reduce overtime and overall spending; reduce debt service by refinancing existing debt instruments with better terms; coordinate, not duplicate, services with Santa Fe County and Santa Fe Public Schools; reduce the $21M subcontract budget; and, use investment income as a stopgap measure until revenues begin rising.

I’m in favor of doing all we can to create an unprecedented level of openness, accountability and accessibility in government.

We can do more to improve access to city information by creating a more user-friendly, one-stop-shop web portal and develop related apps, analytics, and open data systems. Let’s improve the integrity of the procurement process by implementing comprehensive disclosure and anti-fraud measures.

A continued challenge is our limited water supply. The most recent, regional water plan estimates a supply gap of 30% of our subbasin’s 2060 demand. This gap cannot be filled solely through conservation and growth management. We must acquire additional water rights and build the infrastructure necessary to use the water. We must also mitigate climate change impacts and usher in a “new frontier” in water management through strategies like aquifer storage and wastewater reuse.

WE ALL HAVE GREAT IDEAS FOR IMPROVEMENT BUT NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR THEM; I THINk THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THE CITY’S FEE BASED SERVICES/LICENSES TO GENERATE ADDITIONAL INCOME TO OFFSET COSTS OF CREATING PROGRAMS SUCH AS CISTERN REBATES AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

I DO SUPPORT THIS, BECAUSE IT IS A FULL TIME JOB TO GOVERN A CITY.

THIS GOES BACk TO MY IDEA OF RAISING FEES, COST OF BUSINESS LICENSES, ETC. I’M NOT SUPPORTIVE OF RAISING TAxES, BUT FOR ExAMPLE, A BUSINESS LICENSE COSTS $35 A YEAR - THAT IS REALLY INExPENSIVE WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHAT YOU ARE GETTING (THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO BUSINESS HERE). THAT IS JUST ONE ExAMPLE OF A FEE THAT COULD BE RAISED TO SAY, $100 ANNUALLY, AND IT’S STILL AFFORDABLE BUT THAT INCREASE WOULD ADD UP TO...

I THINk WE DO A GOOD JOB OF BEING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT, AND PROVIDING INFORMATION/ACCESS/AGENDAS ONLINE IS ANOTHER WAY TO ENHANCE THIS

SUPPORT A REBATE PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE TO BUY/INSTALL CISTERNS FOR WATER CATCHMENT. FOCOS ON SOLUTIONS TO CATCH RAINWATER OF OFF LARGE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. START AN AWARENESS PROGRAM IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO TEACH OUR YOUTH ABOUT WATER CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES.

Public Safety I advocate for approaching on multiple fronts: Incentivising police officers on neighborhood beats, living in neighborhoods. -Enlisting all household into empowering www.Nextdoor.com on-line information sharing site -an elevated Neighborhood Watch. -Neighborhood fire mitigation, communication and evacuation strategies. -Creating Neighborhood Coordinator to join Historic Preservation in new Neighborhood Affairs Division -Funding protection for community human and drug treatment services. -Partnerships with Public Schools on community strategies for leadership mentoring, apprenticeships, skills and service training.

I am now supportive, since it gives the mayor, our only at-large elected official, new voting, budget setting, hiring and firing powers, and full-time pay for full-time performance, while not removing all of city Council’s, nor conveying mayoral/council powers to the City Manager -a non-elected official. keeping council’s power to fire the City Manager, with a supermajority vote, gave assurance that the City was protected from nepotism, incompetence, or malfeasance.

A sustainable City Budget requires ongoing internal analyses of the following areas: -operational efficiencies -security of City’s 80+ revenue streams -General Obligation and Revenue Bond debt. service -municipal fee rates Broad-based multi-sector economic development is essential to balancing our budget, including -enhancing generators like tourism, State government, and the film industry. -promoting new generators like renewable energy, sustainable and creative technologies.

Positive trends: 2013-14 GRT revenue up 6.5%, adding $2.9 Million to City coffers.

Meeting with our new City Finance Director, Marcos Tapia, I stressed the need for “increased clarity” in reporting of City’s complex revenue mechanisms/expenditures for specific programs and projects. An independent auditor hired for such reporting is a good option.

I would support use of Council Executive Sessions only in cases of delicate personnel matters.

I would add “neighborhood coordinator” position to serve as information conduit regarding ENN processes, programs and projects impacting neighborhoods.

-Incentivise storm-water collection cisterns for government, school and commercial buildings through cistern retrofit and rebate programs and utility discounts. -Promote sustainable technologies business creation, and live/make/sell housing type.

-Promote aquaponics food growing and urban-farm development near schools -Create carbon tax to discouraginge non-sustainable practices -Expand waste recycling efforts to include commercial cardboard, and glass waste use in glass-phalt roadsurfacing and glass brick applications -Connect bike lanes and paths to schools and business center

One of Santa Fe’s biggest problems is the excessive high school dropout rate (39%) and associated youth unemployment and crime.

I would establish a city scholarship program for local graduates to attend local college, providing an incentive toward graduation and attracting talented youth to stay in Santa Fe. I would also fund a GED liaison office to reach out to dropouts, connect them with available and needed social services, and help facilitate their continuing education.

I support several aspects of Charter Amendment #9 including the elevation of mayor to a full-time position and salary, but I do not support giving the mayor unilateral authority to fire the city manager, attorney and clerk.

That is too much power for one person.

Therefore, I cannot support the entire “strong mayor” proposal. This amendment should be broken down into smaller parts for Santa Fe to vote on separately, instead of one giant package.

The estimated $80 million loss of “hold harmless” revenue over 15 years is a huge blow. The city must broaden our tax base beyond the regressive gross receipts tax. We must implement progressive taxation, such as a municipal tax on large corporations like Walmart and a real estate transfer tax. We must also grow our economy with an emphasis on green jobs, clean energy and the creative arts, especially expanding film production, editing and post-production.

I would work to livestream all City Council and Committee meetings on the Internet, with the videos then posted on the city’s website for citizens to view. I would oppose meeting in “executive session” except when absolutely necessary. I would hold monthly town hall meetings throughout my district on timely and important issues. And I would require all city management staff to maintain an “open door” policy for addressing employee and constituent concerns.

Since 2005, Santa Fe water consumption has been static at approximately 105 gallons per capita daily usage. The city should adopt the Santa Fe Water Conservation Committee’s recommended goal of 85 gallons per capita daily usage, a 20% improvement from current levels. This goal is achievable if the city turns voluntary water conservation measures into mandatory requirements through the Green Building Code and water efficiency retrofit programs, plus encouraging widespread rainwater harvesting and public education.

Providing quality, equitable public education is our greatest but most important challenge ahead. We must support educators and fight for our share of classrooms with state of the art equipment in order to provide a properly trained workforce with a clear path to higher education and career choices. Education is the key to economic success and ensures social justice. We must generate creative partnership opportunities that will directly carmichaeldominguez@yahoo.com benefit our children.

505-231-2052

I have publicly expressed my concerns with the “strong mayor” proposal giving sole power to the mayor to terminate certain city officials. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”- this kind of power- in the wrong hands could be disastrous. Council must be able to represent the constituency that elected them-including, if warranted, a call to investigate misconduct on the part of a city official. I would however support a mayoral vote on all matters for public scrutiny.

I DO NOT support a tax increase on food and medicine. Our hard working men and women are already struggling to provide basic necessities without being burdened further on the essential items we need everyday. We must continue to establish priorities that reflect the needs of the public and those who need most benefit from the basic services our city has to offer. Reorganization efforts must continue to make government more effective and efficient.

I have already begun working on this by introducing the “Taxpayer Empowerment Agenda”. This is an effort to ensure government keeps its promise of transparency, accountability, shared prosperity and competition. An example policy would require an online posting of how much taxpayers are spending on private contracts and how many workers are employed by those contracts.

Outsourcing sometimes means taxpayers cannot vote out executives who make decisions that hurt public health and safety.

We must strive to live within our means and recycle, re-use and renew. We must utilize technology and natural resources whenever possible so that we can consume responsibly and economically. We must increase opportunities to educate the public about how important it is to be a sustainable community and what that means for our future. Water is our most precious resource and is limited we must protect and preserve our water now.

The biggest problem in Santa Fe is economic disparity and ethnic division. I would build sustainable economy from within by establishing the Southside as a powerhouse. Utilizing economic gardening and social entrepreneurship paradigms we would build small business centers and incubators transforming our neighborhoods into a livable renewable energy hub, creating more 21st century quality employment opportunities for our people that reside in Santa Fe. I would work with all residents to build economic prosperity.

No I do not. A strong mayor form of government is a ploy by the wealthy in town that want to sustain corrupt local governments.

It takes away power from the people by decreasing the leveraging power of city councilors who are elected to represent the voice of the people. Amendment #9 will create a corporate autocracy supporting an oligarchy where the rich prosper and the working poor continue to suffer. Down with fascism!

Tax the rich, not the poor! Prioritize our existing budget focusing on funding necessary human services such as real affordable housing, local health clinics, local food distribution centers, early childhood care centers, and neighborhood renewal initiatives. We need to stop wasting valuable money on organizations like The Santa Fe Opera who don’t need the cash. I would also introduce comprehensive marijuana legislation to grow our economy and generate exponential city revenues. Increase the living wage!

Elect me and begin the process of removing corrupt public officials from office. I would take city government directly to the people by generating more awareness and education about the existing city charter teaching residents how they can create power for themselves. Expand the Early Neighborhood Notification ordinance holding developers more accountable. Timely inform citizens of major contracts, bond initiatives, and development projects that directly affect surrounding communities. Take power away from the crooked lawyers!

Santa Fe should be a solar farm community harvesting sunlight from residential and commercial building structures. Introduce and support comprehensive marijuana legislation utilizing by-product for fuel, energy, clothing, soap, paper, rope, and numerous other locally produced products. Redistribute clean water sources on the Eastside of town to the Southside residents and place a moratorium on large commercial and high-end residential development projects. Reduce the number of golf courses. Tax wealthy high water use abusers.

I will forward a comprehensive plan to dramatically reduce burglaries and crime.

This involves using resources to address poverty, the environment and economic factors that contribute to crime. I will guard against regressive tax systems that push families into poverty—No to taxing food! I imagine closing the wage gap for women.

My efforts will involve creating jobs, uplifting our youth, and enabling programs that partner city-with-citizens to make our neighborhoods prosperous and safe.

I strongly oppose amendment #9, because it upsets the current balance of power between mayor and council. It gives the mayor exclusive supervisory authority over several city office holders, including, most troublingly, the city clerk, who administers elections and oversees voter records. This is a responsibility that should remain independent of any single city official, and, in fact, the office of city clerk should be an elective one subject only to the voters it serves.

First, we need sound department budgeting based on realistic operating costs and then maintain accountability in daily operations.

Next, the city needs to regularly conduct performance audits to assure departments are operating efficiently. Increase oversight and strengthen procurement policies to end irregularities. Close loopholes that low-bid vendors use to get jobs by bidding low and then using a cost amendment to make more money. Audit end-of-year obligated dollars and revert some to the general fund.

Build citizen confidence in city government by instituting strong ethics expectations.

Post on the city website any and all conflicts of interests’ city management and officials have. Streamline public information processes. Post performance audit findings on the city web page and open them to public comments. Strengthen policies regarding public hearing requirements for contract cost amendments. Audit and limit consent agenda items so they cannot be used as a loophole to avoid public hearings.

Sustainability starts with wisely managing resources and planning. The EPA best practices state that we should have clear information about how a facility uses its water, from the time it is piped into the facility through its ultimate disposal. knowing how water is used and what it costs, gives us the information needed to make the most appropriate water management decisions.

We don’t have to reinvent the wheel; we just need to implement green practices.

Crime and making neighborhoods safe.

Encouraging the formation of more neighborhood watches to insure neighbor know neighbor thus creating an alliance within those neighborhoods to insure safety and peace of mind and finding incentive for police officers to live in the city and neighborhoods they serve. It is imperative that the city have a fully staffed police force to insure the safety of our citizens

Yes I believe it is imperative that a Mayor be able to run the City and make those decisions that he/she was elected to do. I do believe though that the City Council needs to have the power as well to relieve a City Manager of his/her duties should there be a need to.

As the question is written I believe we have done our diligence to give the voters the best questions for their...

By state law we are required to have a Balanced Budget, and having served these past 8 years we on the council have done just that without laying employees off or not providing those essential services that city resident’s demand and are entitled to. It is imperative that we continue to take the steps and measures to insure our yearly budget is set so that it benefits all the citizens of the city.

This is something I already do as a Councilor I have an open door policy with all city workers and the public I am accessible to anyone and I have been transparent in all my votes. Should a conflict arise I have always stated my reason for recusing myself. I always pull items dealing with the New Mexico Department of Transportation off agendas to insure that are no conflict of interest as I work for...

The City is doing this with the completion of the Buckman Diversion, acquiring Rio Grande Water Rights, Upgrading the reservoirs, resting our Buckman Wells, requiring new developments to bring water to their projects and by thinning out debris in and around our water shed the city has made a great investment to insure that water resource for the City of Santa Fe and its residents are feasible and adequate for years to come.

My progressive values, experience, and the manner in which I approach challenges are strengths. As an engineer, I use pragmatic ways to problem-solve and have been successful in building consensus among divergent groups. I have a strong record on environmental conservation and proudly endorsed by the Sierra Club.

2014 Legislature

Early education proposal advances in Senate Senate panel backs bill to tap state endowment to fund programs

By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

A constitutional amendment to dip into the state government’s largest endowment to pay for early childhood education programs advanced Wednesday in the Senate.

The Senate Rules Committee endorsed the bill on a 5-4 vote. All the Republicans on the committee voted against it, a clear signal that the measure faces long odds of making it through the Senate.

The sponsor, Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, tried to assuage critics of the bill by quickly agreeing to reduce the amount of money that would be taken from the $12 billion Land Grant Permanent Fund, which grows through investments and royalties for use of state land, notably for oil drilling.

As drafted, Sanchez’s bill calls for 7 percent to be siphoned annually from the fund — 5.5 percentage points for K-12 public schools and another 1.5 percent for early childhood programs.

But, he said, he would accept a forthcoming amendment by Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, to reduce the total amount to 6 percent.

That would cut the annual allocation

for early childhood programs to 1 percent, or about $100 million a year, Michael Sanchez said. His original plan would have funneled about $160 million annually for the early childhood initiative.

Sen. Sander Rue, R-Albuquerque, said scientific studies had convinced him that early childhood education programs would put kids on a path to success in school and life. Still, Rue said, the key question was whether the land-grant endowment should be used to fund the program.

With Rue leading the way, the other Republicans on the committee also opposed the bill.

Democrats argued that the proposal should be approved by the Legislature

and sent to voters for a final decision in the November election.

Sen. Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, made a passionate speech for the proposal.

“Our state is dying,” he said. “We’re dying, and every citizen here should be demanding change.”

He added that legislators in only 25 minutes during the 2013 session approved sweeping tax cuts for corporations, even though there was no financial analysis of that bill. Candelaria said the proposal to fund early childhood programs has ample economic analysis, though opinions vary on whether it would damage the endowment.

Michael Sanchez said using $100 million annually for early childhood

education would not touch the fund’s principal. He also said the program would create about 5,000 jobs statewide and lead to improved high school graduation and employment rates.

The bill moves next to the Senate Judiciary Committee. After that, it would land in the Senate Finance Committee, where the Democratic chairman, John Arthur Smith, declined to hear it last year.

Smith opposes the early childhood initiative as fiscally irresponsible. To win in Smith’s committee, proponents probably would need to pick up the vote of at least one Republican senator. So far, no Republicans in either the Senate or the House of Representatives have endorsed the bill.

Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 14 New regent, new rules: State senators voted 34-0 Wednesday to confirm Kevin F. Powers as a regent of Northern New Mexico College.

Powers, 57, of Albuquerque is a retired investment banker. His clients included cities, counties, school districts and The University of New Mexico. He grew up in Maryland and graduated from Juniata College with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

Meanwhile, a proposal to change the way regents are picked to oversee the state’s universities cleared the House Education Committee. House Joint Resolution 7, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces, proposes a constitutional amendment allowing voters to establish bipartisan nominating committees to recommend candidates to the governor for consideration.

Currently, regents aren’t required to have any set qualifications, a news release from House Democrats said. “They are considered political plum assignments often given to good supporters of the sitting governor.”

The resolution heads to the House Voters and Election Committee.

Rooting out child sex abuse: A bill that requires all school employees to be trained in detecting and reporting child sexual abuse and assault unanimously passed the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday.

Sen. Bill O’Neill, D-Albuquerque, sponsor of Senate Bill 97, said it covers “things we don’t like to talk about.” He said that as a former executive director of a juvenile parole board, he encountered many young women who had been sexually abused as children.

He and lobbyist Julianna Koob told the committee that 97 percent of those who abuse children are known to their victims, and that New Mexico ranks above other states when

it comes to the number of children being abused.

Almost everyone in the committee room voiced support for the bill, with Sen. Pat Woods, R-Broadview, asking, “Who can not be in favor of this?”

E-cig restrictions: While the city of Santa Fe considers proposals to put the same restrictions on electronic cigarettes as those imposed on regular cigarettes, Sen. John Ryan, R-Albuquerque, is sponsoring a bill that would impose a statewide ban on sales of e-cigarettes to minors and prohibit minors from possessing or using the nicotine delivery devices.

Ryan said in a news release that 23 states and the city of Albuquerque already have prohibited sales of such vapor devices to minors.

He said his SB 232 would prohibit minors from possessing or using these products on school premises or vehicles and at off-campus, school-sponsored events. In addition to banning sales to minors, the bill seeks to ban e-cigarette advertising and free samples.

Devastating concoctions: A bill that would add several new, synthetic “designer” drugs to the list of illegal drugs in the state has passed the Senate Public Affairs Committee and is heading to the Judiciary Committee.

SB 127, sponsored by Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort, R-Sandia Park, includes synthetic marijuana, as well as drugs that mimic cocaine, Ecstasy and amphetamines.

Republicans are calling it the “devastating concoctions” bill.

Three years ago, the Legislature made 26 types of commercially sold synthetic drugs illegal. But new formulas for making people high sprung up, requiring more than 100 compounds to be added to the list of controlled substances.

But Beffort said in a news release, “As soon as a formula for synthetic marijuana, cocaine, or ecstasy hits the illegal control substance list, a new formula is created to evade the law.

The designer drug industry has proven highly adaptive, with new drugs appearing on a regular basis.”

The New Mexican

que, opposed the resolution.

He said if Wirth’s objective was to increase security at the Roundhouse, then his resolution skirted the inevitable conversation about whether metal detectors should be installed and visitors should be screened upon entering the Capitol.

Current New Mexico law allows guns to be carried in plain view in New Mexico, and holders of concealedcarry permits can legally carry weapons out of view.

Unlike most state capitol buildings around the country, the Roundhouse admits visitors freely without subjecting them to metal detectors or searches.

“The correct level of security for this building is exactly what we have right now … ,” Sen. Daniel IveySoto, D-Albuquerque, said as he gave the proposed restrictions a thumbs-down.

“I love the openness of our Capitol.”

Sen. Sander Rue, R-Albuquerque, invoked a traditional objection to guncontrol proposals.

“None of us want to see this turn into the Wild West … ,” he said. “But I think we can make the case that the public is safer, and we’re safer, perhaps, if we’re allowed to carry.”

Detective Mike Sindelar of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, speaking on behalf of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association, echoed Rue’s point and said the policies at the Roundhouse reflect the state’s unique relationship with gun culture.

“I understand that there are those that have an aversion to firearms,” he said.

“Then again, New Mexico has been a firearm state for more than 100 years.”

One of the measure’s supporters, Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, marveled at the emotion that any discussion of limits

evokes from gunrights advocates.

“I’m one of those who are just Brian amazed Egolf at this country’s obscene fascination with firearms,” he said.

But he was outnumbered on the committee, and it rejected the resolution on a 4-2 vote.

The House proposal met a more receptive audience.

The House Judiciary Committee, on a 9-8 vote, passed an amended version of a rule change that would prohibit open carrying of firearms in the House gallery and committee rooms, but would allow people authorized to carry concealed weapons to be armed.

Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, pointed to the intimidation of gun-control advocates during the debate at the Capitol last year as his motivation as well. Jade Gordon of Santa Fe said she was at last year’s gun-control hearings and felt uncomfortable to be around armed opponents of the legislation she supported.

“We’re told over and over that this is the people’s house … ,” Gordon said. “We didn’t feel safe here at all.”

Opponents countered that they feel safer knowing armed people are in the room.

Next, the resolution faces a hearing in the House Rules and Order of Business Committee, where it must pass by a two-thirds majority in order to advance to the House floor for debate.

Navajo gambling compact allowing new casinos moves forward

By Uriel J. Garcia

The New Mexican

A group of lawmakers recommended Wednesday that the full Legislature approve a Navajo Nation gambling agreement that would allow the tribe to open three new casinos, despite the panel’s earlier effort to restrict new gambling operations on the reservation.

The Committee on Compacts voted 12-4 Wednesday to send the agreement to the full House and Senate.

The compact, negotiated between the tribe and the Governor’s Office, must be approved by the Legislature and the U.S. Department of the Interior.

However, legislators cannot make changes to the deal before taking a vote on whether to approve it.

Last week, the committee voted to send the deal back to the negotiating table. The lawmakers had asked the tribe and the governor to eliminate a provision that would allow the Navajos to build more casinos. But Navajo officials said they wouldn’t accept a compact that allowed fewer than five Las Vegas-style gambling facilities.

The tribe currently operates two Las Vegas, Nev.-style casinos and one Class II casino — essentially, a bingo parlor. Under the new compact, which would run through 2037, the tribe could open a third Las Vegas-style casino within five years of signing the deal, then two more at least three years apart.

On Wednesday, Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, made a motion for the panel to send the agreement to

the Legislature with a recommendation not to approve it. But that motion failed 11-5.

After the committee then voted to recommend passage of the compact, more than 20 people representing the tribe’s gaming operations stood up and applauded the lawmakers.

“I think the Navajo people are happy,” Navajo President Ben Shelly said. “When it gets to the House and the Senate, there will be more Navajos coming in for support.”

Navajo delegate LoRenzo Bates said the tribe is confident that both the House and the Senate will vote to approve the compact. The tribe’s current compact with the state expires next year.

Sanchez believes additional casinos could saturate the state’s gambling

market and threaten revenues from existing operations. Some pueblos, including Laguna, also have expressed concern that the Navajos will open a casino on tribal lands near Albuquerque, where they have existing gambling operations.

“We’re obviously disappointed with the committee’s vote,” said Skip Sayre, chief of sales and marketing for the Laguna Development Corp. “We will continue to make our case that the expansion of gaming in New Mexico potentially has negative consequences for the existing tribal gaming entities.”

Democratic Sen. George Muñoz of Gallup said the proposed compact wasn’t meant to create a fight between the state’s pueblos and the Navajo Nation.

“No compact is going to be perfect

for everybody, and no compact is going to be a one-stop shop for everybody,” Muñoz said. “So we all have to work together to help the pueblos with the next compact.”

Navajo officials say they don’t plan to open more casinos until the state’s economy is stronger.

“They [the pueblos] can deal with their own compact their way,” Shelly said Wednesday. “They won’t see me here opposing their compact.”

Shelly said the proposed compact will help the tribe create more jobs and reduce unemployment.

New Mexico received about $71 million from its share of tribal casino revenues last year.

New weapon to help fight crime GPS system should help police respond more quickly to emergencies

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

A

new technology upgrade at the Santa Fe Regional Emergency Communications Center aims to shorten arrival times for emergency situations, and it means the city police chief himself might respond to high-priority incidents.

Celina Westervelt, a police department spokeswoman, said during the past several months, technicians have been installing GPS units that police dispatchers can track in real time.

The result, Westervelt said, is that dispatchers can find and notify the officer closest to an incident as it happens. And even Chief Ray Rael’s car is equipped with a device, she said, which means he could respond to a high-priority crime.

Ken Martinez, director of the dispatch center, said the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, the Santa Fe Fire Department, the Santa Fe County Fire Department and Edgewood police all plan to participate in the program.

He said Edgewood received two devices as part of the program, while the other agencies received 10 each, at a cost of $1,000 per GPS system. The software used to receive calls and map the emergencies and crimes cost about $400,000.

The new program also allows officers in

State lawmakers ask county to halt plans for La Bajada mine

By Staci Matlock

The New Mexican

Four state legislators, including two from Santa Fe, oppose a basalt mine proposed for La Bajada Mesa over concerns about the operation’s water use and its impact on the landscape.

In a Jan. 31 letter sent to Santa Fe County Commissioner Kathy Holian, the lawmakers say the mine will require too much water from the county and will hurt the viewshed from Interstate 25.

The letter is signed by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, and Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard, D-Los Alamos.

Buena Vista Estates and Rockology have asked Santa Fe County to rezone a 50-acre parcel on the mesa near Waldo Canyon Road and have applied to open a basalt mine.

The mine would produce construction aggregate for the next 25 years from three open pits, according to the application.

The County Commission will consider the application at a public meeting Feb. 20.

“Unfortunately, the site is one that lacks its own source

Westervelt said about 75 percent of the city’s cruisers have been equipped with the GPS devices, and that mechanics are equipping units on a rolling basis.

Would students be more likely to attend school if their driving privileges could be revoked for truancy?

Two Republican legislators who believe so have introduced bills that would require the state’s Motor Vehicle Division to suspend or postpone issuance of driver’s licenses for students who violate the state’s compulsory school-attendance law. But the fate of the House measure is unclear after it failed its first hurdle Wednesday.

Public school students are allowed 10 excused absences per year. StuSen. Craig dents who miss 10 or more school Brandt days without an excuse are considered habitually truant. A recent report shows that Santa Fe has among the highest truancy rates in the state, with nearly a third of its public high school students and about 1 in 5 of its elementary and middle school students deemed habitually truant.

School officials also have noted a close connection between a high truancy rate and a low graduation rate.

Rep. Larry The statewide graduation rate was Larrañaga only about 70.3 percent in 2013, and Santa Fe’s two largest high schools saw even lower rates, at 62.6 percent for Santa Fe High and 64.2 percent for Capital.

On Wednesday, the Senate Education Committee endorsed Senate Bill 25, a measure introduced by Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, that would tie school attendance to driving privileges. The House Education Committee, however, tabled the companion bill, HB 47, introduced by Rep. Larry Larrañaga, R-Albuquerque.

Both votes were along party lines.

Supporters of the bills, which include the New Mexico School Superintendents Association, the Public Education Department and the state’s Motor Vehicle Division, argue students are more likely to attend school if they know their driving rights will be jeopardized.

But opponents — including a number of high school students who lobbied at both hearings — said the move will only exacerbate attendance problems because students who drive to school might not be able to get to class if their license is revoked. They also said the measure will hurt students who need to work to support their families and that it would unfairly impact students who are truant but still earn top grades.

Both bills mandate that district leaders first do everything they can, including contacting parents of truant students, to get them back on track. The bills also allow various measures for students to appeal the action. Neither bill includes a financial appropriation to fund anti-truancy initiatives.

Brandt told the Senate committee that the goal of the bill is to “keep the students in the seats and in the classrooms.” Asked what truant students can do to win back their driving privileges, he said, “One way is very simple: They can go back to school.”

Albuquerque high school student Kaylee Amershek said students whose licenses are revoked still will drive.

She said she maintains a 4.0 grade-point average but still has more than the acceptable number of absences.

Brandt’s bill was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but no hearing date has been set.

Labor council may rescind endorsement of Segura City Council District 1 candidate’s ‘skeletons in closet’ leave group questioning support

of water, is along a narrow and aging road, and is highly visible from I-25,” the lawmakers’ letter said. “The visual impact can hardly be overstated and the inevitable deleterious effect on the landscape and the subsequent negative impact on tourism, can easily be imagined.”

The mine will need water for drinking and dust control.

The companies have applied to transfer water rights for the mine, but that application hasn’t yet been

approved by the state engineer.

According to the application, the mine site would contain two 10,000-gallon water tanks. Water for the tanks would be purchased from Santa Fe County at the 24-hour automated bulk water dispensing facility at 13-B Camino Justicia off N.M. 14.

There’s no annual fee for the water, and the commercial cost is 2 cents per gallon.

The Northern New Mexico Central Labor Council might rescind its endorsement of District 1 City Council candidate Michael Segura amid revelations about his personal finances and run-ins with the law.

A candidate profile of Segura in The New Mexican prompted the labor organization to reconsider its endorsement, President Larry “Mike” Archuleta said Wednesday.

The story, part of the newspaper’s ongoing coverage of the March 4 municipal election, reported that Segura has been convicted of drunken driving three times and has accumulated liens of almost $1.5 million for unpaid taxes.

Segura also has a bankruptcy on his record.

Archuleta said the labor council, an umbrella organization for about two dozen labor unions with about 7,000 members, was “completely sidelined” with the information in the story about Segura.

“We’re feeling kind of weird

about that endorsement,” Archuleta said.

“We want to keep our reputation clean, and if somebody comes in seeking our endorsement and they come in and talk to us about what their plans are and stuff, and then they don’t tell us about the skeletons in their closet, well, we don’t know, so we have to rescind our endorsement sometimes,” he said.

However, he said, the Central Labor Council has never rescinded an endorsement under his watch. “But it’s not to say it won’t happen this time.”

Segura said he values the labor council’s endorsement, saying it “justifies” all the years he’s put in supporting them.

“I’ve been a union supporter ever since I got back to Santa Fe out of the Air Force,” he said.

“It hurts my feelings because I was there for them when they needed me, 30 years of backing them. I wish they would’ve contacted me or talked to me first. That would’ve been the proper thing to do.”

When interviewed recently for a candidate profile, Segura said the arrests taught him about

accountability and his financial troubles were based, in part, on the economic downturn and his wife’s health problems.

Archuleta said the labor council doesn’t vet the candidates’ backgrounds before deciding who to endorse. After reviewing the candidates’ responses to a questionnaire, delegates from each labor union come together to interview the candidates, he said.

Those delegates then caucus with their members before a final vote is taken.

“We’re not choosing anybody by executive board or anything,” he said. “We’re choosing it by what the membership wants.”

Low snowmelt to hurt water supplies in N.M. ‘Less than average’ runoff forecast to affect entire region The Associated Press

The snowmelt runoff from mountains in New Mexico will be low in some parts and will affect the water supplies in various state rivers, federal officials said.

The National Resource Conservation Service said this week that the snowmelt runoff is expected to be “less than average” to “significantly less than average,” because the region has not had the needed snow and is still suffering from a persistent drought.

Probable forecast runoff ranges from a high of about 70 percent of average near the border with Colorado to around 30 percent on the Rio Grande entering Elephant Butte Reservoir, the Jemez River and Mimbres River, the agency said.

In northwest parts of New Mexico, the San Juan River has received recent snow that might improve inflow to the San Juan Chama Project during the spring of 2014, according to federal officials.

“Drought is persisting in New Mexico. Unfor-

tunately, less than average snowmelt means there will be less water in our rivers,” said Interstate Stream Commission Director Estevan Lopez.

“Less water in our rivers adds pressure to our environment, our irrigators and our statewide economy.”

Officials said greater than average precipitation will be needed the next few months to have average runoff this spring.

State and federal officials are trying to keep the Rio Grande flowing.

Meanwhile, the Interstate Stream Commission and the Bureau of Reclamation are working with a contractor to clear sediment from a 20-milelong channel that leads to Elephant Butte Reservoir.

Officials say having the channel clear allows for more water to make it to Southern New Mexico farmers and for the state to meet its water delivery obligations to Texas.

The maintenance is expected to continue through March.

The sediment in the river channel was deposited following last September’s record rains.

The contractor also plans to repair some levees.

Mine: Owner says dozen jobs will be created Continued from Page A-9 “Given the distance to the mine from the nearest county water hookup and the large amounts of water that are required for a mine of this size, we think it is unwise for the County to provide water to this project,” the lawmakers said in their letter.

Girl hurt in DWI crash to get firefighter visit ALBUQUERQUE — An 11-year-old New Mexico girl injured in a suspected drunken-driven motorcycle crash that killed her father is getting a special visit from firefighters.

The Albuquerque Fire Department planned a visit Wednesday to bring Magen Sanchez gifts while she recovers from injuries at University Hospital.

Authorities say a truck driven by Jacob Williams veered over a center line last month near Belen, killing 51-year-old Daniel Sanchez and seriously injuring his daughter.

According to the criminal complaint, breath tests found Williams’ blood alcohol level at 0.16, or twice the legal limit.

Sanchez’s brother, state District Court Judge William Sanchez of Los Lunas, presided over an earlier fatal DWI case in which Williams pleaded guilty.

Official say Magen Sanchez is expected to be released Friday.

Sochi games display Russia’s struggles

I

n the mid-19th century, a Frenchman described the reconstruction of St. Petersburg’s monumental Winter Palace after a fire.

To meet the czar’s deadline during a bitterly cold winter, the “unprecedented efforts” included heating the structure’s interior to almost 90 degrees. Of the thousands of laborers who braved the extremes of temperature, “a considerable number died each day,” wrote the Marquis de Custine, “but, as the victims were replaced by other champions who filled their places, to perish in their turn in this inglorious gap, the losses were not apparent.”

Moderation has never been Russia’s strong suit — not in the creation of its imperial capital centuries ago and not today, as it unveils the Winter Olympic Games at the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Winning the right to host the event “wasn’t just a recognition of Russia’s sporting achievements,” President Vladimir Putin pronounced when the decision was made in 2007, “but a judgment of our country.”

And yet, rather than heralding a shining new post-Soviet resurgence, the Olympics will come closer to a familiar pattern in Russian history: the latest in a series of over-thetop, outrageously expensive projects undertaken at heavy cost to the populace in a questionable attempt to leapfrog Western countries.

Make no mistake about it, these Russian Games are Putin’s personal project to shore up power. They will be the most expensive Olympics ever, at more than $50 billion, almost four times the amount proposed in 2007.

The questionable decision to stage the winter events in a subtropical city created some of the unnecessarily expensive obstacles, but perhaps not as many as another typically Russian development: a stag-

Texting ban good for state

N gering amount of corruption.

Several of the companies chosen to remake Sochi for the Olympics are owned or co-owned by Arkady Rotenberg, a childhood friend of Putin. News reports and Russian watchdogs say Rotenberg’s Sochi contracts alone are worth more than $7 billion, which rivals the entire cost for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games. The owner of another firm charged with building the ski jump was also a vice president of the Russian Olympic Committee.

The company’s work was so shoddy, it had to be redone several times as its cost ballooned. Finally, Putin himself fired the committee official.

Catching up to the West is an old game in Russia, which began emerging as an independent power in the 15th century. Searching for an imperial style that would befit their growing status, the princes of Muscovy — the medieval principality that eventually developed into modern Russia — first looked to the remnants of the Mongol Empire that had dominated them for centuries. Czar and boyars, a rough equivalent of European nobles, dressed in Turkic robes and called them-

selves “white khans.”

But as the eminent Russia historian Edward L. Keenan has argued, it didn’t take long for Muscovites to realize that real power lay not in the East but the West. Failing to impress the crowned heads of Europe, they abandoned the Turkic terms and styles.

Instead, Czar Ivan III began copying European princes, sending to Italy for architects to rebuild the wooden Kremlin. The brick walls that stand today date from that period, and the main entrance, the Spassky Gate, still bears a Latin inscription praising the Italian Renaissance architect Petrus Antonius Solarius for its design.

Russians have been importing Western forms and ideas ever since. Typically forced on the people by powerful leaders in great spurts, however, the adoption of those new influences mostly resulted in hybrid forms that turned out to be more Russian than Western — from the laws of Catherine the Great, which omitted many elements of Enlightenment thought that she claimed they reflected, to Soviet communism, whose tenets and practices would surely have dumbfounded Marx.

“Westernization” has long played a role in Russia’s political culture. New institutions and discourse obscured and ultimately helped maintain Russia’s centuries-old way of doing things: important decisions made by a handful of the powerful behind closed Kremlin doors.

Such a political culture requires a facility for bluffing. It remains central under Putin, who routinely misleads his own people, and the West, about his intentions. The best example of his misdirection was the sham four-year presidency of his protege and puppet, now-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the supposedly reforming liberal.

The Sochi Games are more than just a facade for current authoritarian tendencies. Russia’s latest grand undertaking to advance its place in the world illustrates the opposite: that the government is still wedded to the centuries-old tradition of puffery and masquerade that instead demonstrates just how far the country lags behind the West.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Anti-bullying: A model for every workplace

R

oses to Councilor Rebecca Wurzburger for her anti-bullying initiative, linking bullying behaviors to ethical expectations for city councilors.

Elected leaders are role models; for better or worse, their behavior sets the standard of civility for citizens as well as city employees. Councilor Wurzburger’s initiative takes the Respectful Workplace resolution, unanimously passed in September 2010, to the next level. This resolution is based upon the premise that “where respect exists, bullying cannot.” (Santa Fe County commissioners unanimously passed a similar resolution; to the best of my knowledge, these are the first such resolutions of any municipality in the nation).

I fervently hope that Santa Fe’s elected leadership seizes this opportunity to model the message of respect, whether interacting with employees or constituents. Who knows — perhaps councilors can lead a trend of respectful, bully-free workplaces throughout our community?

New Mexicans for Gun Safety Santa Fe

Unfit behavior New Mexico Game Commissioner Scott Bidegain recently turned in a prizewinning performance in a coyote-killing contest. By participating in the mass slaughter of native wildlife for personal profit, Bidegain has demonstrated a

MAllARD FillMORE

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

profound disregard for the wildlife he is charged with protecting and conserving.

Electronically baiting and systematically slaughtering wildlife is a cowardly and sadistic act that serves no constructive purpose and inflicts massive, permanent damage. No animal stands a chance of survival against high-tech lures and teams of gunners. New Mexicans are sickened by the senseless slaughter of wildlife, and we have the right to professional wildlife managers, not self-indulgent coyote-killing gangsters managing our state’s wildlife.

Bidegain’s behaviors are inconsistent with any recognizable form of modern wildlife management. He should be removed from the Game Commission.

ews that Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez has stopped blocking a bill to outlaw texting and driving is welcome.

Last year, Sanchez, D-Belen, didn’t allow the texting bill (sponsored by Santa Fe Sen. Peter Wirth, also a Democrat) to get a vote in the full Senate. Likely, Sanchez thought it would pass. This year, Sanchez still doesn’t like the bill, but has said he would allow it to come up for a floor vote. It is likely to become law, and Gov. Susana Martinez has said she supports it.

It’s a smart bill, because Wirth had the good sense to keep fines low. Drivers caught texting would face a $25 fine for a first offense and a $50 fine for subsequent tickets. The proposed law keeps the use of hands-free, voice-activated devices legal, and it’s not a crime to pull over and send or read texts. Most of all, Wirth’s legislation is smart because texting and driving is dangerous — six times more so than driving while drunk, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Should the proposed legislation pass, New Mexico will join more than 40 states that ban the practice. Right now, only drivers with provisional licenses are forbidden from texting and driving in New Mexico. The law should apply to everyone because all sorts of drivers text — and texting takes lives.

According to the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, texting in cars and trucks causes more than 3,000 deaths and 330,000 injuries per year.

This is smart legislation, the kind that can help police officers protect all drivers from dumb, careless ones. Yet it doesn’t make penalties so severe that young people, especially, receive too black a mark. Sen. Wirth’s persistence in sponsoring this bill is appreciated. We hope to see it pass both chambers of the Legislature and be signed into law.

Keep alternatives for PE

P

ity the poor New Mexico high school student. Pity the parents. And pity the teachers, counselors and principals trying to decipher ever-changing graduation standards and rules. High school classes should be rigorous. Trying to figure out a pathway to graduation from high school should not be.

That’s why we are relieved to see that the New Mexico Public Education Department likely will grant waivers to let current juniors graduate with alternatives to traditional physical education (seniors already could get a waiver, a decision made last year). Juniors took marching band, athletics or JROTC and thought they had punched their PE credit ticket.

Then they learned that, no, PE had to be PE, and nothing else.

Now those juniors have been given a reprieve.

This waiver is all well and good, but the notion that school employees all across the state have to submit an Excel form with the district name, district code, location code, location name, student name, student ID number, etc., etc., etc., is ridiculous. Surely, workers have better — and more important things — to do with their time. The education honchos could issue a memo saying, “these classes count as PE, no paperwork needed,” and do everyone a favor.

Further, the Legislature — as it is doing — should weigh on whether alternatives can continue to count for physical education. A bill by state Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, would allow districts to decide whether to offer substitutes for physical education.

We understand that PE is a course with its own standards (but hardly one that needs an end-of-course exam), but alternatives have distinct advantages — they keep teens interested in school. Teenagers need choices, and the more, the better. Grown-ups need to get out of the way.

emphasized that no animals would be buried next to anyone who does not want them.

NOTICE

Reward offered in dog shootings A statewide animal-advocacy group is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for a series of dog shootings in La Cienega.

Santa Fe County sheriff officials said two more dogs were found less than a mile from where a wounded dog was picked up Jan. 24 near La Luna Road. The two deceased dogs, both un-neutered males, had long, golden brown fur; one weighed about 80 pounds, while the other weighed 45 pounds. They are possibly father and son and were found Jan. 28. Both had gunshot wounds to the neck.

The female Queensland heeler mix, who survived the shooting, is under medical care at the Santa Fe animal shelter. The dog, now named Negra, suffered three wounds, one which shattered her shoulder. She had additional surgery on her leg Monday, said Jennifer Steketee, the shelter’s medical director.

It’s not known whether the shootings are related. None of the dogs had identification or were microchipped.

Animal Protection New Mexico is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible. Callers, who can remain anonymous, should call 877-548-6263.

Mary Martin, executive director of the Santa Fe animal shelter, said stray dogs have been a problem in the La Cienega area. The shelter is asking people to call for possible solutions, such as more spaying/neutering or advice on how to keep dogs safe and secure.

“If anyone knows the circumstances of these dogs — who they might have belonged to or if they were simply unowned dogs roaming — please call,” she said. Call 983-4309, ext. 139.

Puppy pipeline seeks volunteers A local animal rescue group seeks volunteers to help transport puppies from New Mexico to Colorado for adoption.

Jane Carson with Pecos People for Animal Welfare said her volunteer drivers, Ken and Jayne Johnson, have been taking pups and a few adult dogs to rescue groups weekly for the past 10 years. Last year alone, the couple transported more than 1,200 puppies.

They use their own vehicle and pay for their own expenses for the lifesaving work. The longtime dog lovers say the transport program is their way of contributing to the improvement of animal welfare.

“If we can get pups to a place where they have the best chance of being adopted,” Jayne Johnson said, “New Mexico will not have to euthanize so many.”

The puppies are about 8 weeks old and have all had their first puppy vaccinations two weeks before their transport. A wellness exam is given by a veterinarian before the receiving rescue group picks them up. The puppies come from all over New Mexico.

Those interested in becoming a driver or to volunteer to help this program, call Carson at 466-0091 or 466-1525.

could also help a struggling industry.

According to the Cremation Association of North America, 42 percent of Americans who died in 2011 were cremated, a far more frugal option than a traditional burial.

The number has been growing steadily for decades; in 1996, it was just 22 percent.

“A lot of cemeteries are struggling right now,” Lemasters said. “This is an opportunity.”

New York recently allowed human ashes to be buried in pet cemeteries, and it’s legal in New Jersey as well. But ask where in the country a person can be buried whole with his or her pet, and only one place is named: Hillcrest Memorial Park in Pennsylvania.

There is also a cemetery outside Baltimore that performs pet and human burials — Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens. But the pets are buried in separate plots, at their owners’ feet, in a section closed off from traditional burials.

“Nobody could find any reason not to allow it, other than people’s perception,” general manager Amy Shimp said.

In an era when dogs visit doggie spas, when their medical care includes acupuncture and when their owners dress them in custom-tailored jackets, it’s not surprising that some people want to stay with their pets in the afterlife.

Moguls ski course undergoes tweaks

By Will Graves

The Associated Press

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — The ambitious slopestyle course that sent Shaun White sprinting for the serenity and apparent safety of the halfpipe isn’t the only Olympic event at Sochi’s Extreme Park turning heads and sending riders tumbling down the mountain.

Things have been nearly as dicey in moguls. The U.S. was among several countries to unsuccessfully ask officials Wednesday to tweak the course, expressing concerns about unusual sequencing along the 700-foot sprint across bumps and jumps that make for a unique mixture of daredevil downhill racing and aerials.

“There’s a lot of issues with the course,” American Patrick Deneen said.

Deneen, however, cautioned against confusing “issues” with “danger.”

“Everybody is scrambling a little bit,” he said. “This isn’t what anybody expected, but it’s really good. We’re really liking it. They made a few mis-

ALBUQUERQUE yoming’s head coach was laid up with a viral infection, probably watching the game on TV at his home in Laramie.

The Cowboys’ second-leading scorer was sitting out in street clothes, serving a one-game suspension for throwing a punch in his team’s most recent game.

On paper, the visitors from the Front Range were supposed to go down without much of a fight in Wednesday night’s nationally televised Mountain West Conference men’s basketball game in The Pit. Someone forgot to tell Wyoming that.

Fighting and scrapping for every bucket, the visiting Cowboys (14-8, 5-4) gave The University of New Mexico (18-4 9-1) all it could handle — and then some. The teams went to overtime for the second time in as many meetings this season before the Lobos settled for a 66-61 victory that wasn’t nearly as easy as the score indicated.

The final margin was the largest lead of the game for either team.

New Mexico was able to stay within a half game of MWC leader San Diego State. The Aztecs (20-1, 9-0) got a lastminute bucket to rally past Boise State in other conference action on Wednesday night.

UNM will play San Diego State twice in the final five games of the regular season, but the teams will not meet until the Aztecs visit The Pit on Feb. 22.

If the Lobos can avoid tripping up like they nearly did on Wednesday, the final two weeks of the regular season promise to be an entertaining time for the twotime defending MWC champions.

Facing a Wyoming squad that was without head coach Larry Shyatt and shooting guard Josh Adams, New Mexico never did seem to settle into a rhythm.

men cut a 27-19 deficit to 29-27 when Flores scored on a putback and was fouled. But his and-one miss, one of three he had at the stripe, prevented St. Michael’s from getting any closer.

It didn’t help that Hope Christian’s size, especially on the perimeter against the smaller Horsemen guards, gave St. Michael’s fits trying to pound the ball inside.

“They’re big,” Pincheira-Sandoval said.

“They’re tall. They’re fast. It’s pretty difficult [to pass] around them.”

Hope Christian also is dangerous when it gets hot. The Huskies made 11 of their last 17 shots from the field after missing four of their first five, and five of the buckets were 3s. They hit four straight shots at one point in the fourth quarter, and their one miss was put back in by Dedrick Milford to make it 54-39 with 3:55 left in the game.

All that separates the Horsemen from putting a dent in the Huskies’ veneer is 8 minutes, 3 seconds of what they did on Wednesday night.

Shovel ready From kids to media personalities, riders gear up for annual Shovel Racing World Championships at Angel Fire

By James Barron

The New Mexican

T

he ingredients for shovel racing are pretty simple: u Take your standard aluminum snow shovel and sit on the scoop; u Point the handle downhill (pretty obvious, huh?); u Then lift your hands and feet and let gravity take its course.

For more than 30 years, this technique has been tested over and over again at Angel Fire Resort, which has played host to the Shovel Racing World Championships. This year’s championships are set for Saturday, and the crews at the resort have spent the past three days setting up the courses that competitors will use to slide down the mountain at speeds that regularly exceed 60 miles per hour.

And what started out as just a simple competition among lift operators to enjoy after a long day on the slopes has become a signature event for the resort. Its popularity was enhanced by exposure on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, ESPN, MTV and ABC Sports as well as being a featured sport with the Winter X Games in the late 1990s.

However, that popularity came with a price. As racers started to modify shovels for maximum speeds, safety became a big issue.

So much so that the resort actually stopped the races in 2005 before they returned in 2009 with modified rules designed to bring the sport back to its small beginnings.

“It turned away from the historical roots, which was a simple race with a person and a shovel,” said Krysty Ronchetti, the public relations representative for Angel Fire Resort. “They’ve brought it back to its more authentic self.”

Still, the race resonates across the nation and around the world. Ronchetti estimates about 80 competitors will register for the races this year, and that includes an expanded field for the second “Women in Media” race that will kick off the event at 9 a.m. Saturday.

“Last year, every single competitor who signed up was really nervous to do it,” Ronchetti said. “But they all signed up again and brought some friends from their newspaper or the TV stations.”

The event has grown to include children as young as 6 years old in the event, although they compete in the “Little Scoops” event, which is on a shorter course than the adult version. Ronchetti says it has become a family affair, with entire families signing up to compete in some cases.

This year’s World Championships is the signature event of the newly formed Winter Carnival at the resort, which was designed to add to the atmosphere surrounding the races.

“We’re basically trying to expand the event to more than just the one shovel event,” Ronchetti said. “We wanted to offer some different elements from Thursday through Sunday.”

Festivities will begin Thursday with a free event at the hotel’s visitor center for competitors and resort guests to mingle.

Friday brings a practice session designed for first-timers to get used to the course and the shovel, and the resort will have an opening day viewing party for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

That is just the buildup to Saturday, when the races take center stage from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. All competitors get two runs on the course, and the top three finishers in each age-specific category — from youths to adult divisions for men and women — will earn

prizes. The World Championships also will have a “Coolest Shovel Race Costume Contest” for all registered competitors.

The day will end with a “Dummy Launch,” in which a special course with a ramp at the bottom of the mountain is designed to launch man-made, full-sized dummies from skis, snow shovels, snowboards or sleds. It was an event the resort first attempted last spring, to surprising success.

“We did it just to see if it was fun,” Ronchetti said. “And everybody from the mountain showed up. It was a bigger deal than we thought.”

The recent snowfall is an equally big deal for the resort. Storms over the past weeks have dropped several inches of new snow on the report, with more expected by the weekend. In a winter that has been mostly devoid of precipitation, the sprinkling of snow has been a welcome sight at many resorts across New Mexico.

“I think it’s fair to say that across the state, all the resorts have been needing more snow,” Ronchetti said. “We’ve been making snow, and the cooler temperatures have been helping that. We welcome the natural snow because it is a totally different mix than the made snow.”

And it might be the most important ingredient to a good shovel race.

If you go 2014 Shovel Racing World Championships When: 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday Where: Angel Fire Resort Registration: Noon-5 p.m. Friday; 7-9 a.m.

Saturday Cost: Little Scoops (ages 6-9) $15; youths (10-13) $20; juniors (14-17) $25; men/women and master men, $25

ust a few miles, as the ravens fly, separate age-old Tesuque Pueblo and Tesuque Peak, the 12,051-foothigh Sangre de Cristo summit overlooking Santa Fe that is also home to our local ski area. The view from the pueblo up the cottonwood-lined Rio Tesuque frames Tesuque Peak, its face glistening white in the winter. It is the backdrop to the pueblo and the source of its irrigation water, and it has a sacred place in its culture and religion.

So it seems only fitting that on a typical Friday in February and early March, 17 or so Tesuque Pueblo kids, in grades K-6, led by a few Tesuque adults, can be found on the slopes of Ski Santa Fe. They come every week, rent skis, snowboards, boots, poles and helmets Daniel for each kid, take a two-hour lesGibson son in the morning and then ski Snow Trax free in the afternoon.

For the past two years, Marita Hinds has been leading a group of chargers up the mountain that looms so large in the life of the pueblo.

“We tell the parents that it’s a great winter activity, with lots of exercise,” she said. “Plus it’s a learning process and builds self-esteem. You learn not to give up. So, it’s more than just a fun day — there’s all kinds of benefits.”

Hinds began her own skiing in the fourth grade at St. Francis Cathedral School in Santa Fe, which used to offer a ski program to its students.

“It was a great thing,” she recalled last week when we met at Ski Santa Fe. “You got out of school and got to ski with your friends up here. It gave us a sense of accomplishment to get down the hill. I remember being intimidated at first, but after a while you are better and better, and you find you can do it.”

Veronica Martinez, principal of Tesuque Pueblo Day School, also got her start skiing through the nowdefunct Santa Fe Public Schools program when she attended what is now Gonzales Community School.

“When I came on as principal, I said to Marita, ‘We have to get this back, because I remembered what fun we’d had in school when I was young,’ ” she said.

But the school, funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, can’t provide financial support for skiing, so she, Hinds and others held a fundraiser and approached the tribal government for assistance.

“Our governor, Robert Romero, and our director of education, Bruce Curliss, were both very supportive,” Martinez noted.

Added Hinds, “Yes, and a number of our tribal council members also said they remember learning how to ski as kids through the schools. It’s been ongoing for years.”

But Martinez says credit must really be given “to the whole pueblo community because when we had our fundraiser, everyone contributed.”

Parties donating to the event included Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, the Poeh Center, the Tortilla Factory, and artists including Penny Singer and Zia Pueblo jewelers.

Once on the mountain, the Tesuque kids have run into many other school groups, such as a crew from Estancia, and are busy making new friends.

FOR THE BIRDS

HAPPY TRAILS

Winter blast brings birds back to feeders

Hiking in Cerrillos Hills

By Anne Schmauss

For The New Mexican

W

inter has made a visit in the oast few days, and you may have noticed an uptick of activity at your feeders.

In November and December, many of you reported frantic feeding activity at your bird feeders. We had plenty of snow and cold during those months, and when it’s cold, birds need more food. Snow also covers natural food sources, driving more activity to your backyard feeders. Although the past few days have brought a nice bit of winter, we’ve generally had warmer-than-usual temperatures and little snow so far this year. In the short term, this is OK for birds.

Food like old berries and seed heads are easier for birds to find, and they don’t need quite as many calories when it’s warm. But, in the long term, this is bad for birds, as more drought means less growth in the spring and summer and less food for wild animals, including birds, for the upcoming year.

This mostly dry and warm weather pattern also means that it is very hard for birds to find water, and birds need water every day. Be sure to put out a birdbath or two or three for your birds and add a deicer so freezing overnight temps don’t mean birds find only a block of ice first thing in the morning.

If you have less activity at your feeders, it doesn’t mean that your birds aren’t benefiting from the food you offer. It’s cold overnight, and birds are helped by backyard feeders. So, keep your feeders full of quality, high-fat bird food loaded with mostly black-oil sunflower. Don’t waste money on any bird food that has grain products like milo or wheat listed on the label. Birds don’t eat such grains. Check the label attached to your bag of birdseed to be sure. Black-oil

sunflower should be the first ingredient listed.

Jays have been numerous all winter long, so common, in fact, that some of you report that jays have taken over your birdfeeders. There are lots of ways to discourage large birds from dominating feeders.

Like jays, doves and pigeons can also take over a bird feeder. It’s possible to place a cage around feeders, allowing only smaller birds access to the food. But my favorite way of discouraging large birds is by using a feeder with an adjustable dome. If large birds like white-winged doves or piñon jays chase all the little birds away, one can simply lower the dome to keep large birds out. Keeping the dome up allows all birds to eat, but you have the choice of who you want at your birdfeeder. One day, you might fill the feeder with peanuts, lift the dome high and welcome all the blue jays in the neighborhood. The next day, maybe you add some sunflower, lower the dome and hope the chickadee or nuthatch stops by.

When adding a restrictive feeder like this one, I always recommend leaving the dome raised at first.

Birds sometimes take a while to find a new feeder, so put out the welcome mat by encouraging any and all comers. Once the feeder has been discovered, it’s safe to lower the dome to exclude large birds. Once birds have discovered a feeder, they usually know to return.

now is great, but ice and mud are the bane of trail users in Santa Fe’s midwinter. For an often ice-free park, visit Cerrillos Hills State Park (www.nmparks. com), 16 miles south of Santa Fe on N.M. 14. It opened as a park in 2003 and became part of the state system in 2009. Sarah Wood, the park manager, says she inherited the “nicest of all possible worlds, a fully baked park — we just added the frosting.”

The frosting includes weekly events such as hikes and talks by historians who share the fascinating story of Cerrillos Hills and the surrounding area. Also scheduled regularly are star parties, moon hikes and interpretive programs featuring wild plants, tarantulas, tracking and animal life.

A schedule can be found at the website or by receiving the park’s email alerts.

Email Wood at sarah.wood@state.nm.us to get on the list.

Besides sunny trails with great views, Cerrillos Hills is rich in history. The park was the site of a mining boom and bust in the late 1800s. Abandoned minelands safeguarded the mines, and interpretive signs describe the mine shafts that dot the site.

Most visitors on the park’s 5 miles of trail are hikers, but horseback is welcome too, with room for parking trailers. You don’t even need to own a horse: Broken Saddle has the park concession for rides (info@ brokensaddle.com, 474-7774). Mountain bike riders might find the trails challenging, but winter conditions are usually excellent.

There’s a $5 per vehicle day-use fee.

On your way to the park, stop by the village of Cerrillos, an authentic, rural New Mexico experience.

The park’s visitor center, an adobe solar

building opened in 2012, is on 1st and Main streets. Other attractions in the village include St. Joseph’s Parish Church, the Casa Grande Petting Zoo and Museum, Mary’s Bar and the sights along 1st Street, where Young Guns and other movies have been filmed. Signage to the park is easy to follow.

Community input and support has been vital to the park since its beginning.

According to the park’s website, www. cerrilloshills.org, the park got its start in 1997, when participants of a Cerrillos community planning project — Dale Ball, Alina Bokde, Richard Crombie, Bev Fung, Joe Lehm, Ross Lockridge, Patrick Mohn, Ann Murray, Cathy Weber and others — suggested doing something to preserve the natural and historical character of the area.

Cerrillos Hills Historic Park was purchased by the county in 2000. It was the first tract of land acquired with taxpayer money under the Santa Fe County openspace program. With help from the allvolunteer Cerrillos Hills Park Coalition, the park opened in 2003.

In 2009, the State Parks Division entered into an agreement with Santa Fe County to manage the park as New Mexico’s 35th state park.

In 2012, the Amigos de Cerrillos Hills State Park, a new all-volunteer group, became the state park’s support group and is helping to improve the park and provide more public services.

This week’s program is “The Bear Facts,” presented at 2 p.m. Sunday by New Mexico Game and Fish warden Mike Ahlm at the park’s visitor center, 37 Main St., in Cerrillos.

She most enjoys the sense of speed, the fresh air.

The cold doesn’t faze her. “Winter is my favorite season, plus I get to be with my favorite friends, with trees.”

As we rode up the Super Chief Chair, Lauren noted that next year she’ll be attending Santa Fe Indian School, which does not have a ski program.

Moguls: Deneen injured on course Continued from Page B-1 takes while they were building the course and we’re fighting those … but they also did some pretty cool things.”

Still, Deneen admitted it was a “battle” when the U.S. team arrived for its first practice earlier this week. The course had barely been completed when the Americans popped on their skis and went careening down the hill at speeds of up to 35 mph.

Things didn’t go so well. During practice Tuesday, the 26-year-old Deneen caught an edge entering the second of the course’s two jumps and slammed into it.

“There was no way around it,” he said. “It was like crashing into a wall.

It’s just not going to feel good no matter what happens.”

Deneen underwent X-rays for an unspecified injury and plans to be ready when the men’s competition begins next week. There’s a chance by then the course’s rough edges will have been smoothed out.

There’s not that much time for the women, who begin qualifying Thursday. American Heidi Kloser, making her Olympic debut, called

“

It’s not normal training if you don’t fall. You’re not pushing yourself.”

Heidi Kloser, Olympic skier the course “challenging” but pointed at improvements during three days of training.

“The course is pretty safe now,” she said. “The first day it was a little bit rough because no one had skied it and we were worried about the bottom of the course being more dangerous.”

She’s no longer concerned about the final moments of her run being any more perilous than any other event on the World Cup circuit. She fell on Tuesday, but chalked that up to the inherent risk that comes with flinging yourself over dozens of balance-testing bumps and two jumps, where skiers mix a combination of spins and flips.

“It’s not normal training if you don’t fall,” she said with a laugh.

“You’re not pushing yourself.”

Maybe, but Deneen and Kloser echoed the sentiments of snowboard riders who are questioning whether the slopestyle course — located about a half-mile down the mountain from the moguls run — pushes the boundaries of safety a little too far.

White bailed on his bid to leave Sochi with multiple gold medals when he pulled out of slopestyle partly out of fear that an injury in that event could harm his chances of capturing a third straight gold in halfpipe.

Several other riders expressed surprise over the size and the speed of the slopestyle route, which includes a mixture of rails and big-time jumps designed to allow competitors enough air time to pack in two or three flips.

Yet for every detractor, a list that includes White and defending women’s halfpipe gold medalist Torah Bright of Australia, there have been those, such as American Sage Kotsenburg, praising its sheer audacity.

Deneen sees both sides of the argument. Yes, it’s different than what he’s used to. He’s not entirely sure that’s a bad thing. Yeah, the moguls are bumpy, but isn’t that kind of the point?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by your thoughts, so make a point to carry out some must-do’s. You will like the acknowledgment of a job well done. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s idea.

Wife says calling escorts is cheating Dear Annie: I recently found out that my husband has been calling escorts who advertise online. I am not sure whether he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time.

I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it. It appears he and his buddies had this system going to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christmas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter. It’s the same as cheating.

Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to find out who they are talking to. Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option.

Why am I the one to feel ashamed because of what he did? — Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed because you think he made a fool of you. The man you loved and have been married to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humiliated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your marriage.

Dear Annie: Whenever we are at a party, especially during the holiday season, my usually responsible husband invariably drinks to excess.

He gets loud and then louder. A jolly drunk, but still a drunk.

I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my husband’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You’ll want to air out a problem that has been on your mind, as you might not be comfortable with what has been going on.

Tonight: At home.

We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behavior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? — His Wet Blanket Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please suggest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can mention your concerns to the doctor). Most offices will also permit you to alert the doctor by phone or letter. Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps.

Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the customers.

When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Federal Banking Commission held a mandatory information workshop on how to prevent bank holdups. Two segments in particular apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to: u Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking. u Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all transactions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them. u As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank. This helps personnel better describe the person.

Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. — A Safe Bank Teller
