Contributions in N.M. double after 2006 high court ruling

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

The amount of money from political action committees going to New Mexico campaigns more than doubled following the U.S. Supreme

Court’s decision in the 2010 case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

The head of a statewide government watchdog group says that makes it more difficult for citizens to find out who really is paying for political campaigns.

The Citizens United case resulted in a controversial ruling that established that corporations and unions have the same political

College remediation rate for N.M. grads hits 51%

Absent Dems give GOP a slight edge in House

Lawmakers call finding ‘depressing’

By Milan Simonich

By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

More than half of New Mexico’s high school students who went on to the state’s colleges and universities needed remedial courses last year, a new study says.

Fifty-one percent of recent high school graduates required remedial help in college. These

courses cost $22 million last year, according to the report released Monday by the Legislative Finance Committee.

Two lawmakers, Democratic Sen. Clemente Sanchez of Grants and Republican Rep. Don Tripp of Socorro, each used the same word to describe the findings.

“It’s depressing,” they said.

New Mexico by no means stands alone in needing to provide remedial classes to college students. Nationally, states and

A clash of philosophies is about to play out as the New Mexico Legislature begins a tug of war over spending priorities.

Gov. Susanna Martinez’s proposed $6.07 billion spending package for fiscal year 2015 prioritizes $100 million in new funds for her educationreform agenda; calls for $112 million in water projects; would set aside $10 million in incentives to convince businesses to open up shop in New Mexico; and asks for $14 million to give select government employees raises.

“Reforming education is still No. 1,” Thomas Clifford, secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration, told lawmakers during a recent budget hearing.

The Legislative Finance Committee’s proposed budget intersects with some of Martinez’s priorities and bucks others. In its $6.15 billion budget proposal, the Legislative Finance Committee asks for raises for all public employees, $35 million for earlychildhood education programs and a $40.6 million increase in highereducation funding.

The committee’s 2015 budget recommendation is about $73 million higher than the governor’s, according to its director, David Abbey.

NATION&WORLD Nation honors Martin Luther King Jr.

By Phillip Lucas

The Associated Press

ATLANTA undreds of people filled Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Monday to remember and reflect on the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., one of many events across the nation to honor the slain civil rights leader.

The service at Ebenezer featured prayers, songs, music and speakers. Across the country, there were also speeches, parades, marches and community service projects to honor King, an Atlanta native.

About 50 years ago today, King had just appeared on the cover of Time magazine as its Man of the Year, and the nation was on the cusp of passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

But many of the themes of the civil rights struggle, such a as poverty, violence and voting rights, still resonate with people.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said there were not many states that can boast a native son that merits a national holiday before saying, “but we Georgians can.”

Deal said this year he would work with state legislators to find an appropriate way to honor the Nobel Peace Prize winner at the Georgia Capitol, which drew a standing ovation from the audience. He did not give any specifics, but civil rights leaders have suggested a statue at the state Capitol.

“I think that more than just saying kind thoughts about him we ought to take action ourselves,” said Deal, a Republican. “I think it’s time for Georgia’s leaders to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps and take action, too.”

Deal also touched on criminal justice reforms his administration has tried to make, including drug and mental health courts and community-based services to keep nonviolent criminals and young people out of prison.

Vice President Joe Biden addressed the

National Action Network’s MLK Breakfast, urging them to protect voting rights.

“Let me remind you all, it all rests ultimately on the ballot box, so keep the faith, or as my grandmom would say, ‘No, Joey, go spread the faith.’ It’s time to spread it,” Biden said.

New York City’s new Mayor Bill de Blasio marked the day by talking about economic inequality, saying it was “closing doors for hard-working people in this city and all over this country.”

“We have a city sadly divided between

those with opportunity, with the means to fully partake of that opportunity, and those whose dreams of a better life are being deferred again and again,” he told an audience at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Arthur Goff, 38, of Frederick, Md., visited the King Memorial in Washington with his mother, his son, his sister and her children.

Goff’s mother, 68-year-old Loretta Goff, said she was in nursing school in New York when King died in 1968 and remembers it being a traumatic time. Now, she said, everyone is responsible for continuing King’s legacy. “There is still so much more to do,” she said.

In Memphis, Tenn., where King was assassinated, an audio recording of an interview with King was played at the National Civil Rights Museum. The recording sheds new light on a phone call President John F. Kennedy made to King’s wife more than 50 years ago.

Historians generally agree Kennedy’s phone call to Coretta Scott King expressing concern over her husband’s arrest in October 1960 — and Robert Kennedy’s work behind the scenes to get King released — helped JFK win the White House.

At the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Ky., the centered showed King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on the hour. In August, tens of thousands of Americans visited the National Mall to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which he gave from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Several people who were scheduled to speak at that event but were cut because there was not enough time were invited to speak at Ebenezer.

King was born Jan. 15, 1929, and he would’ve been 85 years old. The federal holiday is the third Monday in January and has been celebrated since 1986.

This could be year marijuana becomes legal

By Maria L. La Ganga

Los Angeles Times

SEATTLE — The new year is shaping up to be one of the marijuana movement’s strongest ever.

The first legal pot storefronts in America opened to long lines in Colorado this month.

Washington state is poised to issue licenses for producing, processing and selling the Schedule I drug — once officials sift through around 7,000 applications.

Signature gatherers have been at work in at least five states to put marijuana measures on the ballot in 2014. On Wednesday organizers announced they had gathered more than 1 million signatures in favor of putting a medical marijuana measure before voters in Florida, a high-population bellwether that could become the first Southern state to embrace pot.

“Florida looks like the country as a whole,” says Ben Pollara, campaign manager for the Sunshine State’s effort. “If Florida does this, it is a big deal for medical marijuana across the country.”

Just three months ago, a clear majority of Americans for the first time said the drug should be legalized — 58 percent of those surveyed, which represents a 10-percentagepoint jump in just one year, according to the Gallup Poll.

And last month in California, where

the legalization measure Proposition 19 went down to defeat in 2010, the Field Poll reported what it called its first clear majority in favor of legalizing pot — 55 percent of those polled, compared with just 13 percent in 1969.

The Obama administration said last year it would not interfere in states that allow commercial marijuana sales — as long as they are strictly regulated. But pot remains illegal under federal law, and messages from on high are mixed.

In a lengthy New Yorker interview published Sunday, President Barack Obama said of legalization in Washington and Colorado, “it’s important for it to go forward because it’s important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished.”

Obama said of marijuana, “I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.”

The big question, of course, is why attitudes toward marijuana are shifting now.

And the answer, according to pollsters and drug-policy experts, is a complicated stew of demographics, personal experience, electoral success and the failure of existing drug policy.

To Alison Holcomb, the American Civil Liberties Union attorney who wrote the ballot measure that legalized recreational marijuana in Washington state, the “enormous

Christie administration says N.J. cities treated the same TRENTON, N.J. — Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s administration on Monday pushed back against a claim that superstorm Sandy relief funding was withheld from a severely flooded city because its Democratic mayor wouldn’t sign off on a politically connected real estate venture.

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno strongly denied Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer’s claims on Monday, the day before Christie’s second-term inauguration.

And Marc Ferzan, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Recovery and Rebuilding, told reporters in a conference call that Hoboken has been treated no differently than other cities with respect to storm relief funds.

Zimmer said on Saturday that Guadagno pulled her aside at a supermarket opening in May and said Hoboken’s storm recovery funds hinged on Zimmer’s approval of a commercial development whose lawyer and lobbyist are close to the governor.

Guadagno said the mayor’s description of the conversation “is not only false but is illogical. Any suggestion that Sandy funds were tied to the approval of any project in New Jersey is completely false,” she said.

Vatican says pope’s kitchen went kosher for just a day VATICAN CITY — For just one day, the kitchen of the Vatican hotel where Pope Francis lives went kosher. Rabbi Jaakov Spizzichino oversaw the scrupulous preparations for a four-course lunch Francis hosted for a dozen Argentine rabbis last week.

But on the Jan. 16 , the Vatican pulled out all the stops as Francis hosted Rabbi Abraham Skorka Skorka and about 15 other rabbis from Buenos Aires who came to Rome to visit their old friend. It turned to Ba’Ghetto, one of the best kosher restaurants on the other side of the Tiber River, to cater the affair.

Comet-chasing spacecraft sends signal back to Earth BERLIN — Waking up after almost three years of hibernation, a comet-chasing spacecraft sent its first signal back to Earth on Monday, prompting cheers from scientists who hope to use it to land the first space lander onto a comet.

The European Space Agency received the all-clear message from its Rosetta spacecraft at 11:18 a.m. MST — a message that had to travel some 500 million miles.

In keeping with the agency’s effort to turn the tense wait for a signal into a social media event, the probe triggered a series of “Hello World!” tweets in different languages.

Dormant systems on the unmanned spacecraft were switched back on in preparation for the final stage of its decade-long mission to rendezvous with the comet named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Systems had been powered down in 2011 to conserve energy, leaving scientists in the dark about the probe’s fate until now.

Family of man held in North Korea worried, encouraged SEATTLE — The family of an American missionary held more than a year in North Korea was heartbroken and encouraged by a brief news conference in which Kenneth Bae, wearing a gray cap and inmate’s uniform with the number 103 on his chest, apologized and said he committed anti-government acts.

“Our end goal is to see Kenneth reunited so he can recover emotionally and physically. He has chronic health problems,” family friend Derek Sciba said. Sciba is a friend of Bae’s sister, Terri Chung of Edmonds, and part of a group pushing for Bae’s release. “On the one hand it’s heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform at the mercy of folks in North Korea, but on the other hand it’s encouraging to see him,” Sciba said.

Bae was under guard during the appearance. It is not unusual for prisoners in North Korea to say after their release that they spoke in similar situations under duress. Bae spoke in Korean during the brief appearance in Pyongyang.

jump” in approval of legalization in just a year does not reflect “changes in attitudes about marijuana specifically. Rather, it’s a change in attitudes about whether it’s OK to support marijuana law reform.”

In other words, Americans don’t necessarily like pot more than they used to. The percentage of those who have actually tried it has stayed in the 30 percent range for three decades. Rather, Americans are simply fed up with criminal penalties.

Those looking for evidence of marijuana’s new momentum need only look to Jan. 8.

That’s the day recreational pot supporters delivered around 46,000 signatures to election officials in Alaska — 50 percent more than required — putting a measure on legalization one step closer to a vote in the largely Republican state. That same afternoon in deeply Democratic New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a former prosecutor with a history of opposing the drug, announced a modest medical marijuana pilot project.

Although people 65 and older are the only age group that pollsters say still opposes legalization, their support for the drug has also jumped. Between 2011 and 2013, Gallup found that the percentage of older Americans in favor of legalization rose 14 percentage points — more than double any other group surveyed.

pointed” by Iran’s statements Monday.

Senior U.S. officials said Iran has not met the criteria to participate in the conference unless it fully and publicly endorses the aims of the meeting.

Speaking to reporters in a conference call, the officials said public statements from Iran fall “well short” of what is require for Tehran’s participation, adding that they expect the U.N. to reevaluate and reverse its decision unless Iran changes course.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter using their names.

France, another strong supporter of the opposition coalition, took the same line, with the country’s U.N. ambassador, Gerard Araud, saying Iran “must accept explicitly” the terms of the roadmap.

In New York, Russia’s U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin said “of course” both the U.S. and Russia were consulted about the Iran invitation, and he said that if the Syrian opposition boycotts the talks, “that would be a big mistake.”

In Tehran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted by the official IRNA news agency saying that Iran does not recognize the Geneva roadmap because it did not attend the conference that drafted it.

Saudi Arabia, a main backer of the Syrian opposition and a bitter regional rival of Tehran, also said Iran is not qualified to attend the conference but stopped short of threatening to boycott.

The negotiations aim to broker a political resolution to a conflict that has killed more than 130,000 people, displaced millions and put entire towns and neighborhoods under military siege in the worst humanitarian crisis in decades.

2014 Legislature

Budget: Some priorities align Continued from Page A-1 public employees, he said.

But Abbey said the bottom lines of the Legislative Finance Committee’s proposed budget and the governor’s aren’t as far apart as they appear on the surface. He said about $70 million in one-time spending the governor proposes for the current fiscal year moves them much closer together.

Martinez’s budget proposal for 2015 reflects a 3 percent spending increase, about $179 million more than this year’s approved budget. The Legislative Finance Committee’s proposal tops this year’s budget by about $253 million, or 4.3 percent.

More important than the approximately $73 million difference between the proposals could be when money is spent. The Legislative Finance Committee’s proposal seeks that much in recurring spending, not just one-time expenses. That worries Clifford.

“The more we build into this recurring base now, that’s money that we’re going to have to be able to find in future years,” he said.

Debate over Martinez’s education agenda is likely to be central to the budget conversation.

Her proposals to fund a teacher evaluation process and allow school districts to reward effective teachers and principals are absent from the Legislative Finance Committee’s plan. Also, Martinez’s vision for doling out funding to colleges

based on the volume of graduates they produce contradicts the higher-education funding formula the Legislative Finance Committee has proposed with the backing of college presidents.

The public employee compensation overhaul Martinez wants would give raises to state police, protective services employees, information technology workers, employees in the health arena, engineers and classification reform for correctional officers. Clifford said those positions were chosen for raises because they are the most difficult in terms of employee recruitment and retention, and the state is facing the steepest shortages in those areas. Martinez has said she would like to include other employees in the future.

The Legislative Finance Committee compensation proposal seeks to provide raises that amount to about 3 percent for every public employee. Public employees in law enforcement stand to get pay increases of as much as 8 percent, Abbey said.

The priorities of the governor and the Legislative Finance Committee align in some areas.

For instance, Martinez seeks to raise the pay for beginning teachers to $33,000 from $30,000, while the Legislative Finance Committee has proposed to raise those salaries to $32,500.

Both budget proposals anticipate the state will save about $20 million during the fiscal year ahead because of increased federal support for Medic-

aid. And both budget plans contain recognition that incentives are needed to add more health care providers in underserved parts of the state in order to keep pace with the demand for care that Medicaid expansion is expected to create.

Clifford acknowledged those and other similarities in the budget, but reconciling them in the 30-day session that begins Tuesday will be challenging.

“I do believe there are significant differences between the two recommendations,” Clifford said. “I think we’re going to have a lot of work to do to reach a compromise solution.”

Edge: Democratic majority now stands at 35-33 Continued from Page A-1 unable to start the session, the Democratic majority drops to 35-33. In turn, Republicans will improve their chances of advancing two of the governor’s legislative priorities, though they still likely face difficulty in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Martinez wants to repeal a 2003 law that allows people without proof of immigration status to obtain a New Mexico driver’s license, and she is pushing for mandatory retention of thousands of third-graders who do not read proficiently.

Archuleta, though only a freshman lawmaker, last year led the way in bottling up the driver’s license repeal in the labor committee. He said the licensing law had worked well and improved public safety by listing more drivers in police databases.

Though Republicans stand a better chance of getting driver’s license and retention bills through the House of Representatives, they face a tall hurdle in the Senate. Democrats have a 25-17 edge in the Senate, and most of them have

opposed the governor’s initiatives.

House Speaker Kenny Martinez played down the political ramifications of having two of his members out because of illness.

He said the Legislature is “a very human institution,” where policy trumps politics most of the time.

Speaker Martinez said everyone’s thoughts are with the ailing legislators, not on partisan politics.

Archuleta broke a hip and femur in a fall last September. He said in an interview last year that he intended to run for re-election in 2014.

The Associated Press reported that Archuleta, who had already been involved in the early filing of legislation and requests of capital outlay funds for his district, will be monitoring the legislative session via his laptop computer as he recovers from major surgery. He also will receive daily reports from his secretary and the House staff once the session gets underway.

While he will not be able to travel to Santa Fe, House officials told the Associated Press that Archuleta’s family will represent him on opening day.

Archuleta has served as a member of the House Water and Natural Resources Committee and the Agriculture and Water Resources Committee.

Speaker Martinez said he did not know details of Chavez’s illness. The speaker said he spoke with Chavez’s daughter, but he did not seek information on any particulars.

Chavez, 76, has been a House member since 2004.

Speaker Martinez said there were no discussions about either ill lawmaker resigning from office so Democrats could replace him at the start of the legislative session.

Chavez and Archuleta both represent singlecounty districts in which Democrats control of the board of county commissioners. This means the county bodies could have sent Democratic replacements to Santa Fe if Archuleta and Chavez had stepped aside.

Democrat Easley represented a district that included parts of four counties. With split recommendations from county commissions, Gov. Martinez had the latitude to appoint a Republican to succeed him.

College: N.M. hasn’t improved in seven years Continued from Page A-1 students spent $3 billion on remedial courses at the college level in 2010, the report stated.

New Mexico, though, has shown no improvement in seven years, the report on college readiness said. Since at least 2006, the state’s remediation rates have consistently been at 50 percent.

Last year, freshmen who had never been to college before took 21,470 remedial courses at 21 colleges and universities in New Mexico.

Overall, 45,790 remedial courses were offered.

Nearly half of the classes — about 21,470 — were in math. Most of the rest were in English and reading.

Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, said the number of remedial courses probably would not be reduced significantly unless the state’s attention shifts from high schools to preschools.

“We can close almost half of the achievement gap if we put more emphasis on early-childhood education,” Morales said.

Pouring more money into early-childhood programs does not necessarily mean New Mexico has to do so by siphoning it from the state’s $12 billion land grant endowment, Morales said.

Rather, the Legislature could use other funding streams to enroll more kids in early-childhood programs, he said.

The readiness report broke down which high schools accounted for the largest numbers of students who needed remedial help in college.

A cautionary note was that high schools with the highest poverty rates tend to rank at the top in students needing remedial help.

Gallup High and Albuquerque’s West Mesa High were at 77 percent remediation. Zuni High stood at 90 percent, the report stated.

The study’s authors listed Las Cruces High as an exception to this trend. Its rate was 39 percent, lower than the state average.

In raw numbers, the five high schools with the most students in need of remediation were Atrisco and Volcano Vista in Albuquerque, and

PAC: Groups spent more than $14M in 2010

Oñate, Mayfield and Las Cruces High in Las Cruces.

Three of the 10 high schools with the largest numbers of students needing remediation — Cibola, Sandia and Volcano Vista — received B grades from the state Public Education Department last year. The rest were C and D schools.

Jose Z. Garcia, the state’s secretary of higher education, said his department had implemented many of the report’s recommendations to improve college readiness.

For instance, he said, every college and university has put a plan in place on remediation.

Garcia declined to comment on recommendations aimed at the state Public Education Department, which oversees the state’s 830 schools for children in elementary, middle and high school.

One such recommendation was that the Public Education Department should revise its A-F school grading system to include students’ readiness for college.

cycle, PACs spent $6.1 million in the state. In 2010, that number shot up to $14.3 million.

“While we certainly support citizens being able to publicly express support for their favorite candidates, voters deserve to know who funds the numerous TV ads aired each election year, the postcards that flood our mailboxes and the hundreds of radio ads that run for candidates and issues,” said Vicki Harrison, executive director of Common Cause.

In the study, Common Cause looked at PAC contributions reported to the Secretary of State’s Office. Thus, Harrison noted, none of the figures include money spent by groups classified as “social welfare” nonprofits, which are popping up more frequently as players in the political process.

A recent example in New Mexico is the Republican-friendly New Mexico Competes, which has run radio ads praising Gov. Susana Martinez and blasting her critics.

Legally, such groups do not have to report their contributors. Many of these promise anonymity as a way to attract donors.

Out-of-state PAC contributions in the 2010 election cycle were more than 6.1 million, nearly triple the total of the 2008 cycle.

That number dipped slightly, to just under $5.5 million in 2012.

But in 2012, about 80 percent of the money raised by the top two New Mexico PAC spenders (Reform New Mexico Now and Patriot Majority New Mexico) came from out-of state.

Reform New Mexico Now is operated by Martinez’s political adviser, Jay McCleskey.

Patriot Majority, the major independent expenditure group for Democrats, has ties to some of former Gov. Bill Richardson’s political team.

One of the main problems in trying to track who is really behind political action committees, Harrison said, is that a big portion of PAC contributors are other PACs. According to the study, between 70 percent and 80 percent of the contributions made to PACs in New Mexico were from companies or other PACs. This makes following the money something of a shell game. “Many of the ‘company’ contributions are really PACs, often from out-of-state, contributing to other PACs, obscuring the money’s true source,” the study says.

The top PAC contributor to New Mexico PACs in 2012 was the Washington, D.C.based Republican State Leadership Committee, which gave more than $1 million to Reform New Mexico Now. (Though Reform New Mexico Now mainly spent money on behalf of Republican legislators, it also supported a handful of Democrats running in primary races against candidates thought to be less friendly to Martinez.)

The next four largest PACs that gave to PACs were unions and other Democratfriendly groups: The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ($423,770); the National Education Association Advocacy Fund ($398,500); the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local No. 412 ($252,716); and the Center For Civic Action ($202,000).

The top individual PAC contributor in 2012 was Sheldon Adelson, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and a major GOP contributor. He dropped $250,000 in contributions in New Mexico. That amount went to McCleskey’s Reform New Mexico Now. Adelson contributed $200,000 more than the next highest individual New Mexico PAC contributor in 2012, Stephen Chazen, president and CEO of Occidental Petroleum. Chazen’s $50,000 also went to Reform New Mexico Now. Common Cause, in its report, suggests some changes that would make it easier to track PAC contributors.

One is Senate Bill 18, which has been prefiled by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe and would would require “independent expenditure” groups, including political action committees, to disclose their contributors.

Another recommendation is to improve campaign finance reporting forms. The forms, Common Cause says, should include spending purpose categories: “Is the money spent on advertisements, robo-calls or campaign managers?” And the forms should require more specific information about contributors. “For instance, ‘CEO, businessman or consultant’ does not give any information about which industry a contributor represents,” the report stated.

The Secretary of State’s Office should do more audits of PAC reports submitted, Common Cause suggested, and all fields on the report forms should be filled in properly and all appropriate boxes checked before the system accepts the form. The report also recommended that the secretary of state “eliminate ‘dirty data,’ such as misspellings and inconsistent abbreviations and formatting.”

Lawmakers vote to give leaders extra expense cash

By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

Leaders of the New Mexico Legislature voted Monday to give themselves a bit more expense money, based on extra days they say they must spend in Santa Fe on government business.

Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, proposed increased expense allowances for the speaker of the House, the Senate president pro tem, legislative floor leaders and party whips.

His plan sailed through the Legislative Council, which is composed of 34 members of the Senate and House of

Representatives. The elected members of the New Mexico Legislature don’t get a salary, but they do receive per diem intended to cover their costs while serving as lawmakers.

Only Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, voted against extra money for political leaders.

Stapleton, a former whip, came under political attack by Republicans for claiming per diem for hours worked on legislative business while on the Albuquerque Public Schools payroll. Now her critics want the very compensation that she sought, she said.

Under Sanchez’s plan, the House speaker and Senate president pro tem can claim reimbursement for up to eight additional days of legislative expenses. The rate is $159 a day.

Sanchez said he knew that Speaker Kenny Martinez and Sen. Mary Kay Papen, the president pro tem, spend many extra days in the Capitol when committee hearings or floor sessions are not being held.

“These are citizen legislators,” Sanchez said. “They shouldn’t have to use their own resources to conduct state business.”

Majority and minority party lead-

ers can claim up to six additional days of legislative expenses. Party whips, whose primary job is to line up support during floor votes, can receive up to four extra days in expense money.

Sanchez, a freshman senator, does not hold any of the jobs for which lawmakers can receive extra expense money.

He said Papen, D-Las Cruces, has a one-way drive of 285 miles to Santa Fe if she must be at the Capitol when most other legislators are off.

Opening day of the 2014 legislative session is also Celebrating Children and Youth Day in the Capitol Rotunda.

But there is little to celebrate, many advocates say.

Last June, a Kids Count report ranked New Mexico dead last in child well-being in the country. And a more detailed report this week shows just how bad things are for the most vulnerable New Mexicans.

The state ranks 50th for the percentage of children who are not proficient in reading in fourth grade (79 percent), 49th for the percentage of children living in poverty (31 percent) and 48th for high school students not graduating on time (33 percent).

“When the 50th ranking came out, there was all sorts of chest-beating and hair-pulling, but no public official has come up with any kind of plan to address it. The governor didn’t even comment on it,” said Sharon Kayne, communications director for New Mexico Voices for Children, which is issuing the New Mexico Kids Count Data Book on Tuesday.

“Those of us who work in the earlychildhood and child-serving community are pretty distraught about that,” Kayne said. “When business rankings come out and New Mexico is low … the Legislature seems to take that very seriously. But when it comes to child well-being, there doesn’t seem to be the same sense of urgency.”

The Governor’s Office said Monday that Kayne is wrong in alleging that Susana Martinez has ignored the data. A spokesman for the governor said in an email that her office issued a statement in June acknowledging that “high poverty and a failed education system have plagued New Mexico for decades,” and that her education reforms are the way to “improve well-being of our families in the short and long term.”

Martinez is working hard to increase the amount of money the state spends on education, by more than doubling pre-K funding and targeting money on “increasing early literacy and graduating more [New Mexico] students with the skills they need to succeed in our workforce or in college,” the statement said.

The private, nonprofit Annie E. Casey Foundation in Baltimore publishes the national Kids Count report annually in June, followed by more comprehensive state reports in January that track key indicators by county.

Kids Count utilizes data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among other sources.

The new report zeroes in on critical numbers like preschool enrollment figures, the number of teens who are neither working nor in school, drug and alcohol use, and the number of children who don’t have health insurance.

For instance, in Santa Fe, some 40 percent of kids live in a family in which no parent had full-time, yearround employment in 2011. In Catron and Sierra counties, that figure was 60 percent or more, compared to 25 percent in Los Alamos County, the most affluent in New Mexico.

Nine percent of Santa Fe County’s teens were not in school and not working, compared to 22 percent in Taos County and 25 percent in Guadalupe County. Only 2 percent of Los Alamos County teens were neither employed nor in school.

A lot of research suggests that attending preschool helps prepare kids for kindergarten. But only about 42 percent of 3- and 4-year-olds in Santa Fe County attend preschool, compared to 40 percent statewide.

Land commissioner backs purchase of BLM sites to benefit education The New Mexican

The purchase of 800,000 acres of excess federal land could generate up to $50 million for education in New Mexico, Commissioner of Public Lands Ray Powell told the Legislative Education Study Committee last week.

Powell said he supports a bill, sponsored by Sen. Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, that would appropriate $250,000 for a two-year feasibility study about acquiring the land from the Bureau of Land Management.

The BLM has identified parcels for sale or exchange around Las Cruces and elsewhere that can still be economically productive.

Powell heads the New Mexico State Land Office, which manages 9 million surface acres and 13 million mineral acres in New Mexico for the benefit of schools and other facilities.

Revenues from oil and gas, grazing and real estate leases go into the Land Grant Permanent Fund, New Mexico’s largest endowment fund, or the Land Maintenance Fund. The State Investment Office manages the investments and distributions of the Land Grant Permanent Fund for state trust land beneficiaries.

In the past three fiscal years, the leases generated a total of $1.7 billion

for public schools, universities and hospitals in New Mexico.

Powell supports the land purchase because, he said, “I think we need more money for education and earlychildhood education. We can’t grow the permanent fund without acquiring new land.”

Powell said he would like to see the new revenue go toward earlychildhood education programs. But a few on the committee suggested it could be used for purposes such as the state’s lottery scholarship fund, which provides college scholarships for eligible New Mexican students.

The scholarship program is steadily losing revenue and is in danger of running out of sufficient funds for all applicants.

Both Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Logan — who brought up the lottery scholarship idea — and Rep. Rick Miera, D-Albuquerque, said they would like to see the new revenues targeted at specific education needs.

Several legislators asked Powell why the Bureau of Land Management would want to get rid of the land. He said it is because the land in question no longer fits into the bureau’s mission and is sitting idle, often close to urban centers. He said he would rather see this land fall into public, rather than private, hands.

que, asked Powell to make sure the land in question really belongs to BLM and isn’t already in the state’s hands.

He stressed that the plan requires the support of the state’s congressional delegates. Powell said he has already asked them for support and that he does not know whether the action requires federal or congressional approval. He believes the study would answer that question.

Padilla told The New Mexican in an email that he and Sanchez will be filing a bill to support a constitutional amendment to fully fund earlychildhood education around the state by drawing 1 percent of the interest generated by the Land Grant Permanent Fund.

Many education advocates have urged lawmakers to take more money from the state land fund to support public education. But Powell, among others, said it’s vital to find ways to not bleed the fund dry, so it can sustain itself for decades to come.

Powell said a lot of details need to be worked out before lawmakers began figuring out how to direct the potential funds so they don’t start spending the money before they get it.

county live in single-parent households, compared to 35 percent nationwide and 36 percent in New Mexico.

The report includes trends and suggested policy solutions. For example, to raise preschool enrollment, the report says, the state should increase general fund spending on education and pass a constitutional amendment to support early learning programs with a small percentage of the earnings from the Land Grant Permanent Fund, a depository for revenues from state trust lands.

It also suggests restoring eligibility for child care assistance to twice the federal poverty level.

A number of statewide youth advocacy groups will be represented at the Roundhouse Tuesday, starting at 10:30 a.m. in the Rotunda. Adrian Carver, program manager of New Mexico Youth Alliance, which is part of the New Mexico Forum for Youth in Community, said the alliance is made up of 112 young people who each connect to one of the state’s 112 legislators in an effort to advocate for youth issues. The organization represents anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 students per year, he said.

“I think a lot of our young people aren’t very optimistic about the direction that the state is going,” Carver said. “The conversations I have with young people suggest they are worried about the direction that our school districts are going, worried about the quality of education they are receiving.”

Idalia Martinez, a 19-year-old college student from the Southern New Mexico town of Vado, said by phone Sunday that she is leading a small contingent of middle- and high-schoolers up to the Capitol on Tuesday. “It’s to remind youth: You’re an advocate, you’re a leader, your voice does matter,” she said, stressing that the state’s lawmakers can encourage these young people to step up and speak out.

But she doesn’t just blame the state’s leaders. “It all begins at home with parental involvement; that has a big impact on a child’s life,” she said. “We are 50th because it begins at home.”

She said her group will be pushing for more school-based health care centers and for continued support of the New Mexico lottery scholarship fund, which is facing possible insolvency.

The youth leaders intend to advocate for a number of actions to address these challenges, including tax breaks for low-income families, investment in early-childhood programs, raising the minimum wage and increasing funding for the Housing Trust Fund.

While many of the representatives expressed optimism that state lawmakers can help lead the way out of this ranking, they do not harbor any illusions about the long haul ahead. “In terms of national rankings, next time we may rank 49th and that may not mean we got better,” Kayne said. “It may just mean Mississippi got worse.”

Mora County faces another lawsuit over Sipapu founder remembered as pioneer drilling ban

LOCAL NEWS

LLOYD BOLANDER

The Associated Press

VADITO — Lloyd Bolander, the founder of Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort in Northern New Mexico, died Monday at his home in Vadito. He was 86.

The resort announced Bolander’s death but did not provide any details about the cause.

Bolander’s family said they will announce at a later date how they plan to commemorate his life.

Sipapu managing partner James Coleman said Bolander never stopped learning or striving to be his best. The native New Mexican impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people through his work on the slopes, Coleman said.

“Lloyd was one of the last true pioneers of New Mexico. He and Olive had a vision for their family and community that they successfully brought to fruition through their vibrant spirits and sheer determination,” Coleman

Lloyd and Olive Bolander married in 1949 and eventually founded the Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort. COURTESY PHOTO

said, referring to Bolander’s wife. “That vision is carried on by his children and those of us that are blessed to be a part of his family.”

Bolander grew up in Peñasco and began skiing at age 3.

In 1950, he and his wife bought 13 acres in

the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Two years later, they opened the ski area, initially charging 50 cents per lift ticket.

Over the years, the Bolanders replaced the lifts, put in new trails and built by hand the resort’s slope-side lodging. Eventually, they opened a rental shop, restaurant and store.

Bolander’s family said he was most passionate about teaching others to ski.

Bolander and his wife retired from their daily duties at the resort in 1984, but he visited regularly and often helped his daughter with ski school lessons.

Bolander and his wife were inducted into the New Mexico Ski Hall of Fame in 2004, and he was recognized by the Professional Ski Instructors Association last spring for 55 years of service.

Bolander is survived by his wife, his daughter and son, four grandsons and seven greatgrandchildren.

Agua Fría Elementary looks to enroll more students in bilingual classes

A

bout 20 second-graders at Agua Fría Elementary School were counting play money during a recent math class when teacher Miguel Velasquez asked, in Spanish, for someone to come to the front of the class and show the combination of coins and bills he or she used to make $10.26.

After one girl demonstrated her solution, some of her classmates raised their hands, saying in English, “I have it a different way.”

Velasquez responded in Spanish: ‘¿Tiene otro manera?” In English, that means “You have another way?”

The students, all native Spanish speakers, are part of the school’s dual-language program, now in its 10th year.

Agua Fría Elementary is one of seven schools in the district with dual-language programs, and about two-thirds of the 600 or so students at the school participate in the program, Principal Suzanne Jacquez-Gorman said.

For kindergarten students enrolled in a dual-language class, 20 percent of the instruction is in English and 80 percent is in Spanish. By fourth grade, instruction is half in English and half in Spanish.

Agua Fría Elementary offers both one-way classes, which are made up of native Spanish speak-

ers, and two-way classes that contain a mix of Spanish speakers and English speakers.

Jacquez-Gorman said the school has more native Spanish speakers than native English speakers, but she would like to have at least 21 English-speaking kindergartners enrolled in the dual-language program next year so the school can have more twoway classes.

Santa Fe Public Schools is accepting transfer requests through Jan. 24, and this year, parents can request a transfer to a different school within the district online at www.sfps.info.

Jacquez-Gorman said she hopes parents realize the benefits of having a bilingual education when deciding where to enroll their kids.

According to a book titled English Language Learners for a Transformed World, the average English-language learner who attended a two-way dual language immersion program starting in kindergarten significantly outperformed the average native English speaker in high school on standardized tests in English reading.

At Agua Fría, Jacquez-Gorman said, “We’re showing promise.”

Frida Corona, 11, whose parents are from Mexico, said she already has seen the benefits of a bilingual education. Her parents have asked her translate everything from TV commercials to important letters, she said.

The Goliath bearing down on Mora County just got bigger. A Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary has joined a fight to kill Mora County’s ban on oil and gas development by filing a lawsuit Jan. 10 in federal District Court in Albuquerque.

This is the second lawsuit the rural Northern New Mexico county is facing over a community rights ordinance that effectively prevents oil and gas drilling.

Mora residents and officials say they passed the ordinance because they are worried about hydraulic fracturing, a technique used to crack open rocks and release trapped hydrocarbons. The industry claims the technique, popularly called fracking, is safe, but communities around the United States are worried it will pollute groundwater.

The recent lawsuit was filed by Shell Western E&P Inc., or SWEPI Limited Partnership. It asks the court not only to overturn the ordinance, but to award the company damages.

The company claims the Mora County ordinance strips the corporation of its constitutional rights under the First, Fifth and 14th amendments, and says the rule is in conflict with a U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that corporations are persons for purposes of the rights afforded by the Constitution.

The company also says the ordinance divests it of its property interests by preventing it from pursuing oil and gas drilling on private and state trust lands leased in the county.

The county was first sued Nov. 15 by the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico trade group and three Mora County property owners in federal District Court over the ordinance.

“Is this fight really about hydraulic fracturing?” asked the trade group’s executive director, Karin Foster, on the association’s website shortly after the lawsuit was filed. “No. If you read the text of the Mora County Community Rights Ordinance, it clearly states that, ‘Corporate entities and their directors and managers shall not enjoy special privileges or powers under the law.’

“The fight in Mora is much bigger than fracking or even oil and gas,” Foster’s statement continued. “It is about business and our American way of life. It is time for industry, business and the general public to fight back to expose the hypocrisy of the people who drive their cars, turn on their lights, take hot showers, wear their Patagonia jackets and drink their Starbucks coffee at town hall meetings in Mora County.”

Mora County commissioners and residents who support the Water Rights and Local Self-Government Ordinance readily agree their intent was to once again put citizens first and challenge the power of corporations.

Mora County approved the community rights ordinance in April 2013 in a 2-1 vote. The only commissioner who voted against the ordinance, Paula Garcia, said she opposes drilling but was worried the county was setting itself up for a lawsuit.

Months later, Garcia voted with the other two commissioners to hire law firms and defend the county’s position. The New Mexico Environmental Law Center in Santa Fe will be among the firms representing the county.

Oil and gas companies are eyeing Mora and San Miguel Counties for future drilling. KHL Inc. and other companies have negotiated oil and gas lease deals on an estimated 100,000 acres of land, mostly in the eastern half of Mora County.

Oil and gas leases for more than 9,000 acres of state trust land in the area near White Peak were approved in 2010.

Santa Fe County has an ordinance that doesn’t ban oil and gas drilling, but is extremely restrictive. To date, the ordinance has not been challenged in court and there has been no drilling.

Marquita Montaño, dual-language kindergarten teacher at Agua Fría Elementary School, helps Ana Sophia Gonzales, 6, with her numbers Friday.

David Call, science literacy coach at Agua Fría Elementary, said that students’ families have seen positive cultural benefits, too. About half of the Englishdominant students are native New Mexicans who want to reclaim a heritage language, according to a school report.

“My most proud moments were when an abuelo, or an abuela, me daría, ‘Mi nieto me puede hablar en español,’ ” said Call about grandparents expressing joy that they can communicate with their grandchildren in Spanish. “That’s just a whole, huge, amount of pride that you

can never assess. It was just a beautiful cultural thing to see, and we still have it happening.”

This fall, Agua Fría Elementary School students will move into a new K-8 school, currently under construction in Agua Fría village closer to N.M. 599. The new school, El Camino Real Academy, will serve students in pre-K through eighth grade, with bilingual opportunities at all grade levels.

Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@sfnew mexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @ujohnnyg.

About two-thirds of Agua Fría’s students participate in the program. For kindergarten students, 20 percent of the instruction is in English and 80 percent is in Spanish. By fourth grade, instruction is half in English and half in Spanish.

Santa Fe women report lewd messages, phone calls Santa Fe Police Department reports show that at least three Santa Fe women have received unwanted sexually explicit phone calls or text messages from an unknown male within the past week.

In two of the cases, women reported they received a call from a man using a blocked phone number. It’s unclear from the reports exactly what he said, but one woman told police the caller made “sexual comments.” She said the man was “calm” the whole time he spoke to her shortly after 6 a.m. Friday.

Another victim told police that an unknown caller said he wanted to have “a sexual relationship.” She said she received a call at 1 p.m. Friday.

A third woman reported that a man sent her a text message containing a picture of his genitals at 1:28 p.m. Thursday.

A police spokeswoman said that at least two of the messages came from the same phone number and that officers are investigating.

Officers have asked that anyone with information about the incidents call police at 428-3710.

Roswell victim recovering at home ROSWELL — One of the students wounded when a classmate opened fire inside a Roswell middle school gym is recovering at home.

The family of 13-year-old Kendal Sanders said she was released from the hospital Sunday. She had two surgeries last week to repair damage done to her shoulder.

Sanders’ mother told reporters gathered at a news conference Monday that her daughter has lost movement in one arm but her feeling and mobility should return.

The girl’s family expects she will be home-schooled for the rest of the year.

The other victim, 12-year-old Nathaniel Tavarez, remained at a Lubbock, Texas, hospital Monday. A family member says the boy is in critical, but stable, condition and is now breathing on his own.

Sanders and Tavarez were wounded when the gunman entered the crowded Berrendo Middle School gym last Tuesday and fired three times from a 20-gauge shotgun.

The seventh-grade suspect has been charged as a juvenile with three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Police have yet to specify a motive.

Secret Service seeking more information about the case was not immediately returned.

McAllen police began working with the Secret Service after a number of area retailers were hit with fraudulent purchases on Jan. 12. The Secret Service confirmed that the fraudulent accounts traced back to the original Target data breach from December, Rodriguez said.

Investigators fanned out to McAllen-area merchants and reviewed “miles of video” looking for the fraudsters, he said.

From that, they were able to identify two people and a car with Mexican license plates.

With the help of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, investigators confirmed the identities of their suspects from immigration records of when they had entered Texas in the same vehicle, Rodriguez said. Police prepared arrest warrants last week and waited

Rodriguez and his lieutenant Monday evening seeking a response to those comments weren’t immediately returned.

Garcia and Guardiola were both being held Monday on state fraud charges. It was not immediately known whether they had retained lawyers.

Rodriguez said he did not know whether these arrests were the first related to the Target breach.

Asked about the McAllen arrests, Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said in an email Monday that the investigation was active and ongoing.

“I’d have to refer you to local law enforcement there for any questions about their community,” she said.

The Minneapolis-based company said last week that it has stopped more than a dozen operations that sought to scam breach victims by way of email, phone calls and text messages.

A message left with the U.S.

McALLEN, Texas — A South Texas police chief said Monday that two Mexican citizens who were arrested at the border used account information stolen during the Target security breach to buy tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise. But a federal official said later there currently was no connection between the arrests and the retailer’s credit card data theft.

McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said Mary Carmen Garcia, 27, and Daniel Guardiola Dominguez, 28, both of Monterrey, Mexico, had used cards containing the account information of South Texas residents. Rodriguez said they were used to purchase numerBOCCIA ID WATCHES ous items at national retailers in the area including Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Toys R Us.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was prohibited from providing details about the investigation.

The discrepancy could not immediately be rectified late Monday. Messages left for

for them to return.

On Sunday morning, federal officials alerted police the two were at the Anzalduas International Bridge trying to re-enter the U.S. They were carrying 96 fraudulent cards, Rodriguez said.

Investigators believe the two were involved in both the acquisition of the fraudulent account data and the production of the cards.

Rodriguez said investigators suspect Garcia and Guardiola were singling out Sundays for their shopping sprees hoping that the banks would not be as quick to detect the fraud.

He said he expected Garcia and Guardiola to eventually face federal charges.

The Target security breach is believed to have involved 40 million credit and debit card accounts and the personal information of 70 million customers.

ANDREW JAY TONGATE A.J. Tongate passed from this physical dimension on January 11, 2014. When we received that news, the world as we know it became frightfully dark and still.

We were afraid. Afraid that there would never be another spectacular sunset.

Afraid that the brilliance of the night sky would fade into oblivion. Afraid that playgrounds would no longer echo with the gleeful sounds of children, carefree and having fun.

Then we remembered who A.J. is.

A.J. is light. A.J. is beauty. A.J. is joy.

He is compassion, caring, and giving.

A.J. is optimism. A.J. is peace. A.J. is love.

We are no longer afraid. We remember A.J. and we smile.

Andrew Jay Tongate was born on August 5, 1985, in Fairfax, Virginia. He is forever in the memories of his parents, Butch and Cheryl Tongate of Santa Fe; sister Jessica Tongate (Sean Duran), and nieces and nephews, Darren, Shaun, Ryley, Josh, Jacob, and Tabitha, of Santa Fe; sister Adrienne Tongate of Chicago; sister Allison Tongate of Freeland, Washington; aunts and uncles Joe and Billie Tongate of Friona, Texas; Jackie and Don Pendergrass of Meadow, Texas; Judy and Don Warren of Lubbock, Texas; and Ginger and Bill Immerman of Los Angeles; numerous cousins; countless friends; and his sweet puppy, Penny.

A celebration of A.J.’s life will be at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, located at 107 West Barcelona Road in Santa Fe at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2014.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that remembrances be made in the form of donations to Esperanza Shelter of Santa Fe or the Santa Fe Community Farm.

he buying binge is not over for Santa Fe-based Rosemont Realty, but Michael Mahony sees a short period of consolidation before taking on more acquisitions.

Mahony is the chief executive officer of Rosemont, taking on that position last summer from Daniel Burrell, who moved on to start his own mining and minerals company. Mahony and Burrell have a long relationship; both came to Santa Fe when Rosemont took over the property assets from BGK, the company started by Eddie Gilbert.

An Arkansas native, Mahony has undergraduate degrees from Yale and a master’s in International Finance from the London Bruce School of Economics.

The firm has some $3 billion in new purchases over the past two years. Making all that work means repositioning its staff, even selling off smaller buildings in towns where they do not have a large footprint.

Still, “we’re looking at deals all the time,” Mahony told The New Mexican last week.

But his goal is a smoother, smarter business focusing on markets where they already have on-site managers and can build a relationship with tenants as Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Denver, Raleigh and Jacksonville, Fla. Rosemont prefers commercial office property in secondary markets, but Santa Fe is one of the only locations where it owns retail buildings — the Design Center is one and a two-story building on Palace Avenue across from the Santa Fe County Administration building is another.

He said Santa Fe commercial real estate is stabilizing and the Design Center is seeing more floor traffic as a result of the new state district courthouse. Rosemont has 200 employees with half of those in New Mexico and some 70 higher-level executives, managers and corporate support people in Santa Fe at its offices on Garfield Street.

‘Growing to yield good results’ Thornburg Foundation gives $1 million shot in arm to early-childhood education

By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

H

elping to boost education is nothing new to Garrett Thornburg and Catherine Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer is the founder of the National Dance Institute in New Mexico and together the couple has given millions of dollars to schools and enrichment initiatives from the elementary level through college.

So it made sense to Allan Oliver, executive director of the Thornburg Foundation, that the couple would want to invest where the payoff can be the highest: earlychildhood education.

The Thornburg Foundation is pledging $1 million a year to early-childhood initiatives in New Mexico — about 20 percent of its distributions.

The effort starts with the hiring of a full-time early-childhood program officer who can target money toward specific initiatives that can demonstrate measurable success.

Oliver said that for Garrett Thornburg the early-childhood effort, “is just like any other investment, growing to yield good results.”

Oliver said the connection young children make and the emerging brain science about what drives development is a cuttingedge field for foundation work. He already has relied on some of the research undertaken by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the New Mexico Early Childhood Development Partnership. He has visited programs in other states, interviewed experts and attended earlychildhood conferences.

“We believe in the research,” Oliver said.

Santa Fe School for the Arts — $466,699

The final report of 2013 from the New Mexico Lodging Association indicates the statewide occupancy rate for New Mexico was right at 60 percent, an increase from 58 percent in 2012. The average daily room rate was at $98, up from $95 in 2012.

The biggest jump in occupancy was in Santa Fe (perhaps because there were fewer rooms due to the La Fonda renovation) as the rate rose to 63.6 percent, up from 58.9 percent, while Albuquerque saw a smaller rise — 60.4 percent, up from 59.1 percent. The occupancy rate in Las Cruces actually dropped to 56 percent, down from 59.2 percent in 2012.

Downtown Santa Fe still has the highest room rates in the state averaging $160 a night — except for this time of year when almost all hotels run specials. Get ’em while you can.

New Mexico School for the Arts — $358,230 National Dance Institute — $150,000 Museum of New Mexico Foundation — $50,000 American Civil Liberties Union —$25,000 St. Elizabeth Shelter — $25,000 Early-childhood education is an issue that Garrett Thornburg has made a priority, and now his foundation will give $1 million a year to help provide learning opportunities in New Mexico.

and chief executive officer of United Way of Santa Fe County, which decided several years ago that early childhood was the biggest priority for its funding, said it’s a big deal when a business leader as Thornburg decides to focus on an important policy area.

“For someone to take a deep dive into our policy and accountability, it’s a huge deal,” Freeman said.

The Thornburg Foundation is an arm of Thornburg Investment Management, a privately held firm established in Santa Fe in 1982.

As of Dec. 31, Thornburg had 18 stock and bond funds and approximately $94 billion in assets

In brief

Price of gallon of gasoline inches higher across N.M. AAA New Mexico reports the statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.10. That price is one penny more than one week ago and 12 cents more than one year ago.

The statewide average in New Mexico is 20 cents less than the national average of $3.30. Of the major metropolitan areas in the state, the survey finds drivers in Las Cruces are paying the most at $3.11, and drivers in Albuquerque are paying the least at $3, while Santa Fe prices average $3.08.

Prices in some areas have increased because of extremely cold weather causing refinery issues, yet sub-zero temperatures also have decreased demand for gasoline, which could put some downward pressure on prices.

Prices in the majority of states and Washington, D.C., are less expensive than one week ago; however many of those declines have been

under management.

The foundation itself is solely funded by Garrett Thornburg, who contributes mutual-fund shares he has earned from his ownership interest in Thornburg Investment Management.

When the stock market does better, so does the foundation and in 2012 Thornburg contributed $41 million, according to filings with the IRS. Oliver said the specifics of what will be funded by the foundation will largely depend on research findings.

The foundation does not solicit proposals and will rely on its stillto-be-hired program manager to

minimal.

In New Mexico, fuel pump prices remain among the top 10 least expensive in the United States.

“New Mexicans are paying about $43 to fill up the typical 14-gallon size fuel tank,” said AAA Texas/New Mexico representative Doug Shupe.

“We’re still in the middle of winter, and with the potential for more cold weather in the coming weeks, we remind drivers to keep up with their winter vehicle maintenance routine.”

Young business women’s group seeking candidates The Santa Fe Professional Business Women’s Young Professional Program has announced the organization is seeking candidates through Feb. 21.

Young professional women or men can be self-nominated, nominated by an organization, employer or colleague. Nominees also will be eligible to attend a special Professional Development program.

Candidates must be between the ages of 22 and 35; have been employed in business or their professions with at least one full year of full-

find or put together worthy initiatives.

Some of that may mean working with existing nonprofits where together they can “push the policy down the field.”

Oliver does share concerns with many in the Legislature that any serious effort in early-childhood education has to include a workforce development component as education, training and mentoring of child-care professionals has to both expand and improve New Mexico.

And that might mean more dual-language programs as many of those who already work in the field are native Spanish speakers, he said.

After a strong summer, the Santa Fe economy seems to have stalled. Employment in November contracted by 0.3 percent from 2012, representing a loss of 200 jobs. The private sector saw retail gain 300 jobs, and education and health services add 200 jobs over the year.

The information, financial activities and professional and business services were down 100 jobs each. The public sector saw a loss of 200 jobs in all — with the declines coming in the federal and local government branches.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Ordinance banning plastic bags facing changes, delays, Jan. 14 The point of the ordinance is to encourage cus“ tomers to use reusable bags for their groceries. But

the unintended consequence of the ordinance will be that more people will use paper bags, which may be even more environmentally damaging than the plastic bags that are being banned.” P.K.

“

The city needs to drop the law and just promote the issue as the right thing to do. Stopped using plastics a few years back and don’t miss them because I like the reusable bags better and it was the right thing to do, before the dictators decided to make it a law. But I guess the majority of the population needs the government to run their pathetic little lives with mandates and punitive laws. Disgusting!” A.P.

“

If there are legal issues regarding any ordinance, that ordinance should automatically be rejected until the legal issues are resolved. Our City Council should have discussed these issues before [approving] this ordinance. Of course, that would mean that the City Council members would have to be competent individuals who practice common sense. Unfortunately for the city of Santa Fe, our City Council members have displayed their inability to implement common sense into their proposals time and time again.” D.M. I have taken my own bags to grocery stores for the “ past 30-plus years. I would never pay 10 cents for a

bag or use resources unnecessarily. It’s an easy thing to do and I know I’m not contributing to plastic bags flying from trees and chain-link fences.” D.H.

Taking away guns is only a Bandaid. What are we missing in the lives of our children?

LOOKING IN: PRAKASH MASAND, M.D.

Mental health system needs fix T he mental health system in America is already broken, and it is likely to get much worse.

Some of the obvious problems: u A severe shortage of mental health care professionals and facilities, both inpatient (95 percent reduction in beds in last 50 years) and outpatient. Roughly 91 million adults live in areas where shortages of mental health professionals make obtaining treatment difficult. u This shortage of mental health resources is a contributing factor to the unnecessary prescriptions of antidepressants, psychostimulants and anxiolytics in individuals who do not meet criteria for major depression, ADHD or an anxiety disorder. u The continual decline of insurance reimbursement rates and increased bureaucratic hurdles has led many providers to stop accepting insurance (only 55 percent of psychiatrists accept private insurance), which creates an even greater lack of resources — especially for those patients in lower socioeconomic communities who are not able to pay out of pocket. u Under “Obamacare,” we do not expect to see the addition of new physicians or facilities to accommodate the millions of new patients who will seek treatment.

We see the results of the lack of care in the increase of school shootings, “suicide by cop” and other incidents of violence by individuals who, under better circumstances, would have received the care they need.

The time for change is now. We need to reorganize and strengthen the infrastruc-

ture of the mental health field. We need to increase inpatient psychiatric beds. The government needs to stop subsidizing organizations and advocacy groups that “help” the mentally ill refuse treatment. The standard for inpatient commitment should be broader than the “imminent danger to self and others” standard that prevented the Adam Lanzas of the world from receiving adequate treatment. Involuntary outpatient commitment laws like “Kendra’s law” should be adopted nationwide.

We need to increase training in mental health care within the entire medical establishment. Family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other extended care providers handle more than 90 percent of psychiatric care in the U.S., yet only receive six weeks to 12 weeks of training in psychiatry over their entire medical school, residency and training careers. We can increase training through accessibility to massive open online courses that serve as an effective way to educate professionals. These online courses also are becoming more widely accepted as a means of continuing medical education. Mental health care professionals can have access to the best teachers in the country (think Khan Academy). In this regard, the announcement in September of a partnership between EdX and Google to expand availability of this kind of platform and tools to individuals and institutions is a step in the right direction.

We also need to make sure that there is more emphasis on the detection and treatment of psychiatric illnesses in the early stages. The sooner a patient receives the

correct diagnosis, and the quicker treatment is initiated, the better the outcome.

Screening for common psychiatric illnesses in primary care practices should be part of the initial differential diagnosis, along with other medical illnesses, rather than an afterthought like it currently is.

Beyond that, we need to reprioritize the structure of the new insurance policies.

Reimbursement for psychiatric care should be commensurate with higher reimbursements for providing evidence-based care.

Long-term, we should be increasing training slots for psychiatry residents and increase training in primary care, nurse practitioners, and physician assistant programs for treating common psychiatric illnesses.

Mental health is the key to our overall health. As a society, we are more aware than ever that staying mentally fit is just as important as maintaining our physical health. Yet, overall, the mental health care field has been neglected, which is unacceptable. The costs involved in maintaining the resources needed to support an adequate system are insignificant when compared to the dividends that will be returned to us in productivity, safety and a better quality of life for society as a whole.

MY VIEW: JAMES STACEY TAYLOR

Poll numbers don’t always tell story

Y

ou can’t pick up a newspaper today without reading about some new poll showing a majority of Americans support or oppose some public policy. Politicians and pundits then cite the same as proof of their policy righteousness while condemning their opponents for opposing the ostensible will of the people. When it comes to surveys of the voting public however, the answer almost always depends on how and whom you ask.

Two recent examples illustrate the inherent fault of relying on polls to dictate legislation. The first involves arguably the single most disagreed-upon economic policy in history: the minimum wage.

According to a recent Reason-Rupe poll, nearly three-quarters of Americans favor raising the federal minimum wage from the current $7.25 per hour to $10.10. On its face, that result appears closed to any reasonable debate.

Yet, asking a disinterested group of people whether, in general, low-income workers should make more money is as informative as asking people whether they themselves should make more money — the answer is, obviously, yes.

Such a poll ignores the fact that in economics there are no isolated decisions; there are only trade-offs. And when presented with the trade-offs of raising the minimum wage — fewer jobs for lowskilled adults and teenagers — majority support flips to majority opposition, with 57 percent opposing the policy and only 38 percent supporting it.

In other words, it depends on how you ask.

The minimum wage isn’t the only issue

Asking a disinterested group of people whether low-income workers should make more money is as informative as asking people whether they themselves should make more money — the answer is, obviously, yes. where legislating-via-polling is as likely to subvert the will of the people as it is to further it.

Consider short-term “payday” loans.

According to a poll by the activist Pew Charitable Trusts, 72 percent of respondents believed payday loans should be more heavily regulated.

But a Harris Interactive poll that focused exclusively on the views of payday loan recipients found fully 95 percent of them felt it should be their choice — not the government’s — to use payday loans, with an overwhelming majority being either satisfied or very satisfied with their experiences.

The point in these examples isn’t that the voting public is too dumb to decide matters for themselves, but that people are by nature susceptible to supporting cozysounding policies when not informed of any offsetting consequences.

Polls can be informative of broad trends among the general public, but they should not be used as a tool to dictate legislation.

Ultimately, the root of the problem is not that people are voting on issues about which they are not fully informed — it’s that people are voting on issues on which they should never be voting at all.

The solution requires returning the role of government to a more clearly defined and limited scope, as enumerated by the 19th-century political philosopher John Stuart Mill: “The only purpose for which [government] power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.”

Applying this philosophy to the above examples makes clear that the government is currently out of bounds.

The wages a person is paid, or the conditions that attach to a loan, are private matters of concern only to the consenting adults engaged in such mutually beneficial exchange. They do not harm individuals and should not be subject to government control.

Restricting the role of government as such will no doubt be difficult to achieve.

However, it is the most effective way to insulate ourselves from the systematic voter ignorance that leads to harmful policies — and prevent politicians from doing the same.

COMMENTARY: ALEXANDRA PETRI

Balance of power shifts toward spies

P

resident Barack Obama began his speech Friday by citing surveillance in history. He said: “At the dawn of our republic, a small, secret surveillance committee born out of the Sons of Liberty was established in Boston. And the group’s members included Paul Revere. At night they would patrol the streets, reporting back any signs that the British were preparing raids against America’s early patriots.

“Throughout American history, intelligence has helped secure our country and our freedoms. In the Civil War, Union balloons’ reconnaissance tracked the size of Confederate armies by counting the number of campfires.”

He went on to talk about more mainstream cases of surveillance, but let’s take a moment to delve into these examples, as I so seldom get to hold forth on the Civil War balloon surveillance movement.

It’s true that Revere was active in surveillance. He said (quoted by David Hackett Fischer in Paul Revere’s Ride): “I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a committee for the purpose of watching the movements of the British soldiers, and gaining every intelligence of the movements of the Tories.

We held our meetings at the Green Dragon Tavern.”

Revere added (also quoted

by Fischer): “We were so careful that our meetings should be kept secret, that every time we met, every person swore upon the Bible that he would not discover any of our transactions but to Messrs. Hancock, Adams, Doctors Warren, Church and one or two more.”

Even then, before everyone and his background-checked dog had clearance, they had problems. Dr. Benjamin Church proved less trustworthy than hoped and leaked their information to the British. (No wonder Obama finds Edward Snowden so disappointing. Share our secret methods overseas? He’s like the Dr. Church of the National Security Agency.)

OUR VIEW

Keep giving all year long

O There is one distinction, though. Revere’s surveillance was conducted by private citizens against the soldiers and partisans of an occupying government they felt was infringing on their rights. In the sense that this is surveillance, it is similar to what the NSA is doing. But the lens is pointing the opposite way. It’s sort of like someone searched for “surveillance” in books about the Founding Fathers and decided that this was close enough. I’m not really sure what the lesson should be here. Collecting intelligence is a vibrant American tradition?

No argument there. Everyone has spies. It’s also a tradition of the ancient Romans, Greeks — heck, anyone with a sufficiently advanced treehouse.

But Revere is a case of individuals keeping tabs on their government, not the other way around.

Next up: Union balloon reconnaissance in the Civil War. Shout-out to Thaddeus Lowe!

Lowe was an inventor, entrepreneur and early aviator who suggested to Congress in 1858 the creation of a national weather service. He was also among a gaggle of private aviators vying to get the war-balloons contract in

the Civil War. They kept turning up in Washington with balloons, hovering over the armory to demonstrate their skills. There was no shortage of drama — gaining and losing contracts, refusing to ride in one another’s contraptions, getting the apparatus tangled in trees. They were popular with generals (McClellan went up in one, at one point), and once underway they obtained useful information.

Also, all that metadata they collected in a dragnet by mistake. (Well, to be fair, they could probably see where you were stashing your cows.)

And it wasn’t like the technology lacked other applications.

A woman wrote to Abraham Lincoln suggesting that the balloon surveillance corps be used to drop copies of his speeches on the Confederate forces instead.

But, again, this is a somewhat different situation. It is hard to keep a balloon secret, especially when it keeps deflating and getting caught in trees.

Then, technology could do only so much. This did not prevent Lincoln from getting letters from a gentleman who claimed that God had put three magical inventions in his head and that “you must

have my balloon to put down all foreign foes. I again warn you against secret enemies.

Watch well, and you will find the golden wedge.” But this man was clearly bonkers, and Lincoln did not give him the $10,000 he asked for.

The struggle to balance the power of surveillance tools and the rights of the people observed — and the difficulty of keeping sensitive information out of the wrong hands — are problems as old as this nation. But Obama’s examples don’t shed much light on today’s challenges. The balance is a lot trickier to strike now because the tools are so much more powerful and the apparatus so much more complex. Any intelligence shared at the Green Dragon Tavern didn’t require a supercomputer. A person can tell whether someone is watching her from a balloon made of fine silk, or if Paul Revere is lingering outside her door.

Both were cases of private individuals (either under their own steam or, after some wangling, on the government payroll) watching enemy armies.

If only it were still that simple.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Community wants safe bridge with character

I

t is puzzling to me as a homeowner, a member of the Historic Guadalupe Neighborhood Association, as well as a former newspaper reporter and public relations executive that none of the newspapers are getting the facts straight regarding the Defouri Bridge issue. The Santa Fe New Mexican said that “activist neighbors” opposed the city’s request to demolish the bridge (“Board rejects plan to demolish Defouri bridge,” Jan. 15).

All the neighbors who testified that night agreed the bridge needs to be replaced. We have always supported a safe bridge, and that means demolition and rebuilding. No one, I repeat, no one has ever opposed this. The only request that neighbors have had was to “rebuild” the new compliant bridge so that it is safe and fits into the character of the historic neighborhood. Santa Fe happens to have strict design guidelines in its historic neighborhoods on construction in such neighborhoods. All of us who live in these districts have to comply by the rules. There are no false sentimentalities for an unsafe bridge here. And, there never were.

A sad screening After five years of refusing to go anywhere near the Regal Cinemas at the DeVargas Center because of its total incapacity to project films properly, I ventured back there to see 12 Years a Slave. The film began improperly wound around the sound drum, causing an instant wobble on the soundtrack and they were showing a scratched 35mm print (rather than projecting digitally).

The sound wobbled along, the film stopped, house lights came up, the film resumed after 10 seconds, but the house lights stayed on and on. I gave up and got my money back. In doing so, I learned that Regal is not interested in complaints and that it intends to spend no money to upgrade the DeVargas to digital (not to speak of upgrading the seating, etc.)

Luckily, the 10-screen Velvet Crown Cinema is coming to the Railyard in 2014.

Let’s hope that it can obtain the quality films now playing at the DeVargas Center.

College, I’ve witnessed changes taking place over the last year that are hard to understand (especially a seeming deemphasis of arts/crafts). But with more research I see a “bigger picture” — which creates even greater concern.

Former community college President Ana Guzmán is a member of the National Security Education Board. The goal of the national security board is to “produce an increased pool of applicants for work in the departments and agencies of the United States Government with national security responsibilities.” As a member of that board, if Guzman were reinstated as community college president, would she be able to put the needs of the community first? Or would the needs of the national security board come first?

Would the community college lose its edge in the arts/crafts area to accommodate U.S. national security needs? Should the college’s mission mirror the needs of the community or the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Education Program administration, etc.?

nce again, the people of Santa Fe have revealed their generous natures over the holiday season.

At The New Mexican, we know this better than most. The 2013 Empty Stocking Campaign brought in $183,128 this season. Started in 1980 by the newspaper as a way to assist community members over the holidays, the Empty Stocking Fund offers a helping hand in an emergency. It’s designed to ease worries at what should be one of the most cheerful times of the year. Best of all for donors, 100 percent of the money goes to people in need.

That’s right. One hundred percent. Costs to administer the fund are covered by the newspaper and its partners.

None of the assistance would be possible without the many Santa Fe residents who give each year. Whether they are co-workers who pass the hat, or a child emptying her piggy bank, or adults digging deep for donations to honor loved ones, santa fesinos from all walks of life participate.

They read the stories of their neighbors and reach into their pockets. This Sunday, we published a list of the many donors who so generously gave. We wanted to say thank you to our neighbors.

And next year, for 2014, The New Mexican will do it again. The fund accepts donations year-round — a little money at the beginning of the holiday season helps get the ball rolling. You can donate at santafenewmexican.com/ emptystocking or at The Santa Fe Community Foundation, santafecf.org.

Empty Stocking, of course, is but one way to help our neighbors. Need can feel more acute during the holidays, but people go without every day of the year. Whether helping our neighbors put food on the table or handing coats to the homeless or providing books for children, Santa Fe residents don’t stop giving once the Christmas tree is taken down and the lights are put away.

As the country continues to emerge from economic hard times — particularly with curbs in federal food programs and long-term unemployment benefits — people need assistance more than ever. Remember your favorite local charities in the weeks and months ahead. Make giving a planned part of life, another check to write when paying bills each month. Charity reminds us that we are stronger together than apart.

Santa Fe is a generous place — during the holidays and all year around. Thank you, neighbors.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 21, 1914: Abridged — New Mexico is not getting the advertising it should get, so long as stories like the following are printed in papers in other states. The Denver Post first printed this story and since then it has been used in a number of papers. Mme. Marie Magdalena Rochard, an educated gentlewoman, has learned there is no justice in New Mexico nor can she count on the United States justice system. Mme. Rochard had divorced her bohemian artist husband and worked as a seamstress until her sight failed. She thereupon answered an advertisement for a ranch cook to work in Chama. Upon accepting the job, her new employer (The Boss) insisted on some assurance she would remain in the position for six months with her trunk as security. When she arrived in Chama, she was hustled onto a sled and taken far from Chama to a ranch house where she was cook for the Mexican ranch hands. She had only the clothes she was wearing and was given nothing from her trunk to wear nor medications it contained. She became ill and appealed to The Boss for her medications, but he informed her she owed him $16.25 for the trunk and if she was going to die, she should get it over with so that they could throw her body into the river. She paid one of the hands to take her into Chama where upon hearing her story the hotel people, the physician, the sheriff and the judge all refused her help for fear of the displeasure of The Boss, who as a man of great influence and power must not be crossed. At last, she encountered a woman who gave her money on a cameo brooch and with that she paid her fare to Alamosa, Colo. At Alamosa, she consulted an attorney who advanced the money demanded by The Boss and recovered her trunk. The attorney told her she had a perfect case for a lawsuit but that The Boss’ domain was “not in the United States,” and that The Boss could win any suit in his territory.

She returned to Denver and destitution. She appealed to the German consul where she was told that she had forfeited her rights to help by marrying a Frenchman. She learned that the French consul would not help her because she was no longer the wife of a Frenchman. At least, she has some good friends in Denver.

Jan. 21, 1964: Two children questioned by police Monday admitted taking a $225.51 government check from a mailbox on Via Robles and then tearing it up. Officers said the children, 6 and 9-years-old, didn’t seem to know the piece of paper they destroyed was a check.

PASADENA, Calif. espite some fans eager to see it earlier, Downton Abbey will continue to begin its new seasons on PBS in January, the system’s chief executive said Monday.

The return of Downton Abbey, which began its fourth season on Jan. 5, is becoming a post-holiday tradition for the show’s fans, said Paula Kerger, PBS president. The British series began presenting new episodes in late September back home, but PBS holds it back. The drama had more than 10 million viewers for its fourth-season debut, and the episode was streamed online 1 million times during the following week, she said.

Debuting PBS’ most buzzworthy show at the same time it starts in Britain will put it in direct competition with the new season offerings from the broadcast networks, Kerger said. It is also easier to get cast members to the U.S. to promote the new season if they don’t have to worry about those duties in Britain at the same time.

“It would be very hard for me to imagine putting it anywhere else than where it has seemed to have found a very strong audience,” she said.

Public broadcasters are open to experimenting with different ways of distribution, however. Some PBS stations have tried showing programs online before they appear on television, she said.

Although time-shifting and the availability of episodes online has made television viewing a vastly different

experience, Kerger said a lot of people look forward to watching episodes when they first appear on TV as a communal event, getting together with friends and commenting about the show on social media.

“People I think are hungering for something that really ties it all together,” she said.

PBS is experimenting with a shorter delay for the Sherlock series, responding to the pleas of fervent fans. The show’s new season began in Britain on New Year’s Day and this past Sunday on PBS. That’s still too long a delay, said series co-creator and writer Steven Moffat.

“We can’t expect a show to go out in one country and expect people in another country to wait more than a day. The world has changed utterly,” Moffat said in an interview. “We’re going to be downloading all our television very, very soon, so the idea you have to wait is nonsense.”

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch agreed.

“It breaks my heart that this hit show, appreciated worldwide as it is, is not delivered worldwide at the same time.

And it’s possible,” he said, if PBS and the BBC would coordinate the U.S.-U.K. airings.

Not doing so is a slight to the show’s “communities of fans,” Cumberbatch said.

PBS said it is picking up a British sitcom, Vicious, for its Sunday night schedule, due to premiere on July 6. It stars Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi as two gay men in a long-term relationship who bicker continuously but put up a united front against the world.

Newsmakers Lohan at Sundance to announce new film

Lindsay Lohan

PARK CITY, Utah — Lindsay Lohan is attending her first Sundance Film Festival.

The 27-year-old came to the independent cinema showcase Monday to announce that she will produce and star in a film called Inconceivable that is set to start shooting in March.

She was joined by producer and financier Randall Emmett. He called Lohan “one of the greatest young actresses of her generation.”

Lohan described the film as a psychological thriller about a woman trying to reclaim something she lost.

Lohan, who emerged from her latest rehab stint last year and remains on probation for a necklace theft and for lying to police about a car crash, said she is grateful to be at Sundance and back in the movie business.

Emmett said Lohan found the script and insisted they make it together.

“She read the script, she called, she said, ‘We’re making this movie, are you in or out?’ ” he recalled. “I said, ‘I’m in.’ ” Lohan will also help select the director and cast the film, he said.

Islamic militant group claims responsibility for deadly suicide bombings

By Vladimir Isachenkov

The Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russia’s counterterrorism agency says it’s studying a video posted by an Islamic militant group that asserted responsibility for suicide bombings that killed 34 people last month and is threatening to strike the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Security experts say the Russians are right in taking the threat seriously.

The video was posted online Sunday by a militant group in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia’s volatile North Caucasus.

The Olympic host city of Sochi lies only 300 miles west of Dagestan.

Two Russian-speaking men featured in the video are identified as members of Ansar al-Sunna, the name of a Jihadist group operating in Iraq.

It was unclear whether the men in the video had received funding or training from that group or only adopted

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Li Na back into semis The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Twotime finalist Li Na stayed in contention for another Australian Open title match after beating Flavia Pennetta 6-2, 6-2 Tuesday to advance to the semifinals at Melbourne Park.

After beating two 16-year-olds in the opening rounds and saving a match point Li Na against Lucie Safarova in the third, No. 4-seeded Li was relentless in defeating the 28th-seeded Pennetta, who buried her face in her towel during a changeover while trailing 5-0 in the opening set.

“After saving the match point, I think I got a lot of confidence,” Li said in her on-court, post-match interview.

“Even more belief in myself.”

Li lost her serve just once — while leading 5-0 in the opening set — and finished off the 67-minute match with an easy forehand to the open court that Pennetta could only watch flatfooted from a distance.

Li, who lost to Victoria Azarenka in the 2013 final and to Kim Clijsters in 2011, will next play the winner of Tuesday’s later quarterfinal between Ana Ivanovic of Serbia and Eugenie Bouchard of Canada.

Ivanovic ended top-ranked Serena Williams’ title ambitions this year

COMMENTARY

Sherman wins the game, then loses his mind

By Jim Litke

T

he bookies in Vegas reported a rare split picking the early favorite for the Super Bowl. At least there’s no question about who’s going to steal the show.

That would be Seattle’s supremely confident Richard Sherman, who’s already staked a claim to being the NFL’s most quotable cornerback since Deion Sanders.

Fresh off making the game-saving play in the last minute of Sunday’s NFC championship, Sherman gave America a taste of how juicy things could get over the next two weeks if his coach, Pete Carroll, doesn’t clamp the equivalent of a “Denver boot” on the mouth of his All-Pro first.

After using every inch of his 6-foot-6 wingspan to deflect a touchdown pass intended for San Fran-

Andrews asked what went on between Crabtree and Sherman after the play, which effectively preserved Seattle’s 23-17 win but also resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Sherman.

After exchanging words, replays showed Sherman with his dreadlocks flowing, arms crossed and both hands up around his neck, making what looked like a choking gesture.

Any remaining doubt melted away Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sheronce Sherman began shouting his man celebrates after Sunday’s NFC reply, displaying just enough bad attiChampionship game against the tude and volume to do the city’s “12th San Francisco 49ers in Seattle.

“Who was talking about you?” she asked.

“Crabtree!” Sherman howled.

“Don’t you open your mouth about the best, or I’m gonna settle it for you real quick!”

At this point, Andrews turned to the announcers’ booth for help. “And Joe,” she said quickly, “back over to you.”

Conventional wisdom tells you Sherman could get into a lot of trouble talking like that, especially since Peyton Manning and Denver’s big, tough receiving corps just booked the last spot on his final dance card of the season.

Greener grass: A World Cup legacy for Brazil?

By John Leicester

The Associated Press

SAO PAULO — At Arsenal’s Highbury Stadium, Edu played on one of soccer’s finest fields. The team’s award-winning groundskeeper, Paul Burgess, became so noted for his green fingers he was eventually lured away by Real Madrid.

So when Edu returned home to Brazil in 2009 to finish his career, the worn and sorry state of some Brazilian soccer fields was an eye-opener. Even now, as the World Cup host rushes to ready itself, Edu says the fields in Brazil aren’t on a par with those in Europe, where he played for eight years, at Arsenal and Valencia.

“England, Germany, fantastic [fields].

Spain, they’re good as well,” the former midfielder told The Associated Press.

“If you see around the world, they are at another level than Brazil.”

Now retraining in soccer management and working at Corinthians, Edu says he bends the ears of all and sundry in Brazil about the need for better playing surfaces.

He hopes the World Cup will drive home his message.

“I’ve always been trying to talk to everybody, to officials and to the press, and say, ‘Come on, let’s invest a little bit more in the pitch,’ ” he said. “We have fantastic players here in Brazil, but we need fantastic pitches as well.”

Substandard fields aren’t new to Brazil. Although the warm climate is plant friendly, fields have suffered from overuse and insufficient love and attention. Record World Cup goal-scorer Ronaldo told the AP that his first club, Sao Cristovao in Rio de Janeiro, used goats to trim its grass.

“The pitch wasn’t the best, as you can imagine, although the goats worked really hard,” the 2002 World Cup winner said by email. “The club didn’t have much money so the goats were the cheapest ‘groundsmen’ you could find.”

The three-time world player of the year said he and 1994 World Cup winner Bebeto, both members of Brazil’s committee organizing the tournament, have talked to stadium owners about the importance of top fields.

“We want it to be one of the football legacies of the FIFA World Cup,” Ronaldo said. “The pitch cost represents, on average, less than 1 percent of the total investment needed for building or renovating a football

Brazilians say having to adapt to irregular surfaces is one reason they’re often such wizards with a ball.

“That is why the Brazilian player is like an artist,” Rubens Minelli, a national championship-winning former coach, said in an interview. He recalled being amazed by Newcastle’s surface — “very fast,” he noted when he took Internacional to play there in the 1970s.

Juninho was likewise impressed when he moved to Middlesbrough in 1995.

“Unbelievable,” he said. In Brazil, “you couldn’t find real nice pitches, not as good as England.”

“I played in Wembley twice and the grass was fantastic,” he added.

Yves De Cocker, director of the fieldinstallation company Desso GrassMaster, says Brazil has been sluggish in adopting the latest techniques. Desso has worked on dozens of fields around the world, including Wembley, the Emirates Stadium that Arsenal moved to in 2006 and other famed venues.

Plastic fibers are injected into natural grass fields to reinforce them. Three Brazil-

“Brazilian pitches, as they are right now in the stadiums, are not really to be compared with, let’s say, the average level or the general level that is accepted in Europe,” De Cocker said in a telephone interview.

He said Brazilian officials “seriously underestimated” the difficulty of maintaining fields in modern stadiums with overhanging roofs that cast long shadows, creating “very bad growing conditions.”

For its new venue in the southern city of Porto Alegre, which will be a World Cup training facility, Gremio imported giant lighting rigs on wheels from the Netherlands to breathe life into a field pockmarked with bare patches when the AP visited in December.

“Half of the year we have no sun for this part, for that part,” Gremio operations director Romulo Siqueira said, pointing at the stadium ends.

“I hope that people will begin to understand what I have gone through,” he told the newspaper. “My role in the film was to share the perspective of a survivor, to give survivors a voice.”

An online trailer advertises the film, made by The Tillman Story director Amir Bar-Lev, as a “complicated and tragic tale.”

Matt Sandusky watched the film in a recent private screening.

The film, which debuted Sun-

It’s not yet clear if or when it will come to Pennsylvania.

Matt Sandusky praised the victims who went public.

“There were many victims in this case who came forward for the trial. I have immense respect for their strength,” he said. “And because of those guys, I had the courage to come forward to the authorities to tell what I had to tell — the truth.”

Matt Sandusky said he hopes to start a nonprofit in the State College area to advocate for child sex-abuse victims.

“It is something I am determined to do,” he said. “My ultimate hope is to empower other survivors.”

Lobos: UNM has never lost to Boise State On Tuesday, it’s back to The Pit for a home date with Boise State. The Broncos (13-5, 3-2) are a game behind UNM in the conference standings.

Boise State is led by junior guard Derrick Marks, named Monday as the MWC player of the week after leading his team to consecutive wins over Nevada and Utah State. He had a combined 40 points and 12 rebounds in those games, resurrecting the Broncos’ hopes in the league race that currently features just four of the 11 teams with a winning record.

A guard-oriented offense, Boise State — on paper — represents a serious threat to UNM and its defense. The Lobos have struggled against teams with solid backcourt players, particularly those who rely

on 3-pointers to stay close.

The Broncos lead the MWC in scoring at nearly 80 points per game. They are third in 3-pointers with 138 on 361 tries.

UNM ranks near the bottom in 3-point defense, allowing opponents to shoot better than 35 percent from distance.

Boise State guard Jeff Elorriaga ranks first in the MWC in 3-point accuracy.

The Lobos counter with their usual three-man scoring front of forward Cameron Bairstow, Kendall Williams and Alex Kirk.

The trio combines for about 52 points per game while Bairstow and Williams are in the top five for scoring in the MWC. Bairstow echoed his coach’s sentiments about the Lobos having lost their rough exterior. Neal said he planned to work out the kinks through extensive film study.

Showing the defensive breakdowns was a good place to start since, as Neal said, that has been the main culprit for the edge fading.

“It’s our main guys, too,” Neal said. “It’s not our bench guys, and they’ve got to get their edge back.”

NOTES u The Lobos have never lost to Boise State, having won all four meetings since the Broncos joined the Mountain West two years ago. u Williams is just the second player in MWC history to record 1,500 career points, 500 assists and 160 steals. The other is former BYU guard Jimmer Fredette. He is just one of three active players in the country to accomplish the feat, along with UConn’s Shabazz Napier and UMass guard Chaz Williams.

Coach Carroll says Sherman sorry rant overshadowed win

By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — Pete Carroll pulled Richard Sherman aside on Monday and made sure his fiery cornerback understood that his rant against San Francisco’s Michael Crabtree was overshadowing the Seattle Seahawks reaching their second Super Bowl in franchise history.

Sherman seemed to get Carroll’s message.

“He was really clear that the last thing he wanted to do was take something away from our team, what we had accomplished,” Carroll said.

Sherman became the focal point of attention — both positive and negative — after Seattle beat San Francisco 23-17 on Sunday to win the NFC championship.

Sherman already was going to be in the spotlight for what he did on San Francisco’s final offensive play, twisting his body to deflect a pass intended for Crabtree into the air and allowing time for teammate Malcolm Smith to run over and make an interception in the end zone to clinch the Seahawks victory.

The athleticism on the play was worthy of praise.

But Sherman’s antics from that point drew praise from some for being honest and unfiltered, and criticism from others for being too harsh and combative.

“This is a very emotional kid and that’s what drives him,” Carroll said. “We did sit down and talk about it because I want him to present himself in his best light. He’s an incredible kid.”

Sherman had been rarely targeted by the 49ers, with most of Colin Kaepernick’s passes being thrown in the direction of Byron Maxwell.

But in the final minute, Kaepernick decided to take a shot to the end zone with Crabtree and Sherman matched up one-on-one.

Sherman won the matchup, staying in position to deflect the pass and have it fall into Smith’s hands, similar to a tipped interception from Sherman to safety Earl Thomas in Week 15 against

the New York Giants.

Except this was far more meaningful, giving Seattle its second conference championPete Carroll ship.

But Sherman didn’t let the celebration end with Smith and his teammates.

Carroll said he viewed the situation as a father talking to his son and wanted Sherman to realize some more thought should have gone into what he was saying.

“There’s some stuff in there I think you should think about and did you really want it to come out the way it did and talk our way through that,” Carroll said. “And he didn’t.

He didn’t feel right about that.

“There were a lot of great things that happened last night and we’re talking about some other stuff.”

For Carroll, the return to New York is heading back to where he got his start as a head coach in the NFL, albeit a short-lived tenure as the head coach of the Jets.

Carroll was the Jets head coach for one season in 1994 before getting fired after a 6-10 season.

“I think my first time in New York as a head coach was kind of in the middle of the circle somewhere or maybe it wasn’t even a circle, it might have been some other shape,” Carroll joked. “It was kind of a hairy time.”

Notes u Carroll said WR Percy Harvin (concussion) could be cleared to practice later this week and is expected to be ready for the Super Bowl. Harvin was injured in the first half of Seattle’s divisional playoff win over New Orleans. u WR Doug Baldwin (hip), DT Brandon Mebane (foot/ ankle) and RB Marshawn Lynch would be eased back into practice when the Seahawks return to the field on Wednesday, Carroll said. u LB K.J. Wright was sore but otherwise came out of Sunday’s game fine, Carroll said.

Bailey finally reaches 1st Super Bowl 15-year vet battled injuries this year

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Champ Bailey finally gets a chance to live up to his name.

The 12-time Pro Bowler is headed to his first Super Bowl in his 15th — and most trying — NFL season, one in which he missed 11 games and parts of two others because of a nagging foot injury.

“It hurt not being out there,” Bailey said after Denver topped New England in the AFC championship game, “but here I am. I’m on the field and my team’s still in the running.

That’s what it’s all about.”

Bailey’s subdued celebration and measured reaction in delirious Denver stood in stark contrast to the scene in Seattle later Sunday night, where Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman stole the spotlight with his game-saving deflection, his taunting of Michael Crabtree and his television rant on the field afterward.

The two contrasting styles will draw much attention in the days leading up to the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.

Sherman is the 25-year-old trash-talking leader of the league’s best defense, Bailey the 35-year-old sage of a unit that’s been through the ringer this season, but has come on strong over the past month despite injuries that cost them several starters, including Von Miller and Chris Harris Jr. Bailey is one of the league’s top cornerbacks, but he’s clearly on the downslope of his spectacular career that includes the most Pro Bowls by a defensive back in NFL history.

Bailey was greeted in the locker room by former teammate John Lynch, who was with him the previous time he’d come this close to the Super Bowl — 2,919 days earlier.

One week after sealing a playoff win with a 100-yard interception return to hand Tom Brady his first playoff loss back in 2006, Bailey had another interception in his grasp and the end zone in his sights, but Hines Ward somehow came down with the

“

nique Rodgers-Cromartie, then moved into the slot on passing downs to thwart the heart of the Patriots’ offense.

“I knew I’d be back at some point,” Bailey said. “My coaches, teammates, they never gave up on me. They knew I’d be back to 100 percent at some point. Here I am, I’m playing probably my best football of the Super Bowl, said he was the year — because I haven’t “certainly happy for Champ, I played much.

“I said he’d play really big and I think quietly he really did,” Lynch said. “It’s been a tough year. Everyone thinks he’s old, over the hill, but he’s been a great player throughout his whole career and great players, when it matters most, play great.”

Bailey had no spectacular plays this time, no pick-6s or takeaways or forced fumbles or sacks, just his usual steady play and calming leadership.

He was hardly tested by Brady at all and finished with three tackles.

“I thought [Sunday] was his best performance of the season,” coach John Fox said Monday.

Unintentional traffic jams are a concern every day in the region, let alone with an influx of visitors expected and a big game day crowd anticipated at the Meadowlands sports complex.

Crowding in Times Square is always a given, too. To the point that New Yorkers make a point of avoiding the area at all costs.

But on Monday — with most people off from work for the Martin Luther King holiday and the Broncos and Seahawks basking in their conference championships back at home — most of midtown was calm.

Next week is when Broadway turns into a fan fest, concerts happen in all five boroughs — as well as New Jersey, where the game will actually be played — and LeBron James and the Heat take a rare undercard role when they visit Madison Square Garden and the Knicks.

Monday afternoon, though, workers and security guards outnumbered customers.

Imani Williamson tossed a miniature football in the air to herself and beamed at visitors as they entered Macy’s. When it gets busier later, her job will be to greet fans, ask where they’re from and make

Large signs advertising the Super Bowl are seen Monday on 42nd Street by Times Square in New York. Preparations for fan venues and activities for the upcoming Super Bowl are starting to appear along several blocks of Broadway, part of which has been dubbed ‘Super Bowl Boulevard.’

them feel welcome.

Asked if she had seen any crowds yet, the 22-year-old ringer on temporary Super Bowl duty said “No, not yet.”

Deeper in the store, Julie Maner commanded a well trafficked corner where whimsical, cartoonish Super Bowl posters by pop artist Charles Fazzino were on sale.

She has gone to every Super Bowl since the 2003 game in San Diego representing the artist.

Usually, she says, she has a booth at the NFL Experience, a fan expo that has been modified for the New York game. Most of that event’s activities will be relocated to Broadway as part of the league’s “Super Bowl Boulevard” sending retailers indoors to Macy’s.

Maner wasn’t sure if that would help or hurt sales, but she will have more days to sell the posters, 3D decorated helmets and other works by Fazzino — some of which cost almost as much as game tickets. On Monday, she had just sold a poster to a German couple who wanted a souvenir before returning home, but was expecting to do most of her business next week.

“The out-of-towners don’t come until next week,” Maner said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be busier than usual or lighter than usual.”

A lot of that could hinge on the weather.

A winter storm was in the forecast for Tuesday night, followed by high temperatures below freezing. If the weather is more pedestrian friendly next week, crowds could come out in force on Broadway. When the “Boulevard” opens, it’ll feature a concert stage, a place for fans to try kicking field goals, a toboggan run, a ticket exchange for buying and selling game tickets and (of course) sponsor come-ons.

That won’t be open until Wednesday, though. On Monday, the signs of the big game were fewer and farther between.

Two visitors from Montreal sat outside Macy’s front entrance in chairs, shopping bags at their feet.

One of them, Patricia Souza, described herself as a fan of her hometown Alouettes from the CFL, but planned to watch the Super Bowl.

She said she knew the Super Bowl was coming to New York even as they planned their trip. Her friend, who would only give her name as Melissa, hadn’t noticed the hype yet.

“I had no idea,” she said.

Major events happening in countdown to Super Bowl Some of the major events happening in New Jersey and New York City ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2.

Lebron on the undercard: On Feb. 1, the day before the big game, LeBron James and the NBA champion Miami Heat come to New York City to play at Madison Square Garden — the Knicks have been uninspiring so far this season, but James always seems to turn up his game at MSG. You get a concert, and you get a concert: Each one of New York’s five boroughs will host a concert in the lead up to

the Super Bowl. As part of VH-1’s “Super Bowl Blitz,” Janelle Monae will play in the Bronx, Fall Out Boy will play in Brooklyn, TLC in Manhattan, J. Cole in Queens and the Goo Goo Dolls in Staten Island.

New Jersey, which is actually hosting the game gets a show, too — by Gavin DeGraw. The concerts are on consecutive nights beginning Monday and will be shown on TV and streamed online.

On Broadway: New York City’s main drag, Broadway, will be converted to “Super Bowl Boulevard” for the week lead-

ing up to the Super Bowl.

From Jan. 29-Feb. 1, the pedestrian thoroughfare will feature an autograph center during the day that becomes a concert stage at night, a display where fans can gawk at the Lombardi Trophy, uprights for them to try kicking a football through and a toboggan run rising 60 feet above the crossroads of the world.

Oh, and there will be 20-foot-tall roman numerals that fans can pose with.

Creighton hits 21 3s in win over No. 4 ’Nova

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Ethan Wragge tied a school record with nine 3-pointers for all 27 points, Creighton 96 Doug McDermott 4 Villanova 68 hit five 3s and scored 23 points, and Creighton set a team mark with 21 3-pointers in a 96-68 victory over No. 4 Villanova on Monday night.

The Bluejays (16-3, 6-1 Big East) topped the school record of 20 3s set in 2005 against Chattanooga. Kyle Korver hit nine 3s against Evansville on Jan. 15, 2003. The Bluejays, in their first season in the Big East, set a conference record for most 3s in a game.

They hit their first nine 3s and never looked back against Villanova (16-2, 5-1) which had romped its way toward its highest ranking in four years.

They made 21 of 35 3-pointers and led by as many 40 points.

NEBRASKA 68, NO. 17 OHIO ST. 62 In Omaha, Neb., Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway

both scored 18 points as Nebraska handed Ohio State its fourth straight loss.

The Cornhuskers (9-8, 1-5 Big Ten), who ended a five-game losing streak, survived after squandering a 14-point first-half lead.

They used a 16-5 run late in the second half to regain control and made 13 of their last 16 free throws to hold off the Buckeyes (15-4, 2-4).

It was Nebraska’s first win in 16 games against ranked opponents, a run dating to January 2012.

NO. 8 KANSAS 78, NO. 24 BAyLOR 68 In Lawrence, Kan., Andrew Wiggins scored 17 points, most of them coming at the free throw line, and No. 8 Kansas pulled away in the second half to beat No. 24 Baylor 78-68 on Monday night.

Wiggins was 10 of 12 from the free throw line, and the Jayhawks (14-4, 5-0 Big 12) were 27 of 29 as a team, allowing them to put away Baylor for their fifth straight win — the last four over Top 25 opponents.

They are the first team to accomplish that feat since North Carolina in 1997.

Perry Ellis added 19 points

and Joel Embiid had 12 for Kansas, which led 37-35 at halftime but used a 14-2 surge fueled by defense and hustle in the second half to draw away.

WOMEN NO. 2 NOTRE DAME 86, NO. 11 TENNESSEE 70 In Knoxville, Tenn., Kayla McBride scored 22 points to lead five players in double figures, and No. 2 Notre Dame erased an early 12-point deficit to beat No. 11 Tennessee.

Since losing the first 20 games in this series, Notre Dame has beaten Tennessee four straight years by an average margin of 17 points.

Michaela Mabrey and Natalie Achonwa each added 15 points for Notre Dame (17-0), which hit 10 of 20 3-pointers. Madison Cable had 12 points and Jewell Loyd added 11.

NO. 4 STANFORD 80, NO. 14 ARIZONA STATE 56 In Tempe, Ariz., Chiney Ogwumike scored 30 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, leading Stanford past Arizona State for the Cardinal’s 15th consecutive victory over the Sun Devils.

The 6-foot-4 star made 13 of 18 shots. She scored 18 in the second half as Stanford (17-1,

6-0 Pac-12) turned the game into a rout against the Sun Devils (14-3, 4-2), who were coming off a win over then-No. 15 California.

Taylor Greenfield scored 14 and Lili Thompson and Karlie Samuelson 11 apiece for Stanford, which won in its 60th consecutive conference road victory.

Katie Hempen scored 13 and Sophie Bruner 12 for the Sun Devils, who shot just 32 percent to the Cardinal’s 54 percent.

NO. 19 CALIFORNIA 79, ARIZONA 64 In Tucson, Ariz., Brittany Boyd and Reshanda Gray did it all for California, scoring 24 and 20 respectively, as the Golden Bears beat Arizona.

Gray grabbed 12 rebounds and Boyd pulled down five more, had seven assists and four steals for California (13-4, 5-1 Pac-12). Boyd entered the game ranked second in the nation in steals.

Boyd was just 4-of-14 shooting, but made 15 of her 17 free throw attempts, while Gray made 7 of 9 field goals for the Golden Bears. Afure Jemerigbe helped to extend Arizona’s defense by making 2 of 3 shots from beyond the arc and finished with eight points.

Sochi: Extremist video under review Continued from Page B-1 its name.

There was no confirmation the two men were the suicide bombers who struck the southern Russian city of Volgograd last month as the video claims. Scores of people were also injured by the bombings of a train station and a bus.

Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee said Monday it was studying the video and would have no immediate comment. The video couldn’t be viewed in Russia, where Internet providers cut access to it under a law that bans the “dissemination of extremist materials.”

It was released by the Vilayat Dagestan, one of the units that make up the socalled Caucasus Emirate, an umbrella group for the rebels seeking to establish an independent Islamic state in the North Caucasus.

Doku Umarov, a Chechen warlord who leads the Emirate, had ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets in 2012. But he rescinded that order in July, urging his followers to strike the Sochi Olympics, which he denounced as “satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors.” The games run from Feb. 7-23.

The Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya claimed last week that Umarov was dead, but the claim couldn’t be verified. The Vilayat Dagestan statement said the Volgograd attacks were carried out in part because of Umarov’s order, but it didn’t specifically say he had ordered them.

Dagestan has become the center of an Islamic insurgency that has engulfed Russia’s North Caucasus after two separatist wars in Chechnya.

Militants seeking to create an independent state governed

by Islamic Shariah law in the Caucasus launch daily attacks on police and other authorities there. One of the two ethnic Chechen brothers accused of staging the Boston Marathon bombings spent six months in Dagestan in 2012.

Andrei Soldatov, an independent Moscow-based security analyst, said the video threat need to be taken seriously.

“They have capabilities to strike beyond the North Caucasus, which they demonstrated in Volgograd,” he said.

“It’s extremely difficult to stop a ‘lone wolf’ suicide bombing attack.”

Georgy Mirsky, a respected Russian expert on the Middle East, said the video reflected the increasingly close ties between Jihadists in the Caucasus and elsewhere. Russia’s war against Caucasus militants has made it an enemy on par with the United States and Israel for militant Islamic groups in the Middle East, he wrote on his blog.

Russia has responded to the Islamic threat by introducing some of the most sweeping security measures ever seen at an international sports event.

Some 100,000 police, army and other security forces have been deployed, according to analysts, and tight restrictions have been placed on access to the Sochi area.

Anyone attending the Winter Olympics has to buy a ticket online from the organizers and obtain a spectator pass that requires providing passport details.

Authorities have already barred access to all cars registered outside of Sochi and Russian police have gone house-to-house methodically screening all city residents.

Soldatov argued, however, that Russia’s massive security presence at the Olympics could also have an adverse effect.

“When you put so many troops on the ground, you might get some problems with the coordination of all these people,” he said.

Soldatov noted that the ominous threat of a “present” for the visitors to the Games contained in the video is loosely phrased and could herald an attack outside tightly guarded Olympic facilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are energized. A child or loved one adores you wild, creative imagination.

This person would be delighted to see this facet of your personality emerge. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

This husband and wife barely speak Dear Annie: I am in a loveless marriage. My husband and I barely speak to each other. I mostly stay in my room because it’s easier than dealing with my life when I’m not by myself.

Do people really hold hands and kiss goodnight? This has never happened to me. I have panic attacks, and this is a problem. But I know I am capable of love if given the chance.

Unfortunately, there are no more chances for me, because my husband just doesn’t care. What can I do? — Lonely Lady Dear Lonely: Your marriage sounds terrible. Are there children?

Are you financially dependent on your husband? Are you unwilling to consider divorce? Why did you marry this man? Yes, couples hold hands and kiss goodnight and care deeply for each other. Please get some counseling, with or without your husband, and see what you can do to make your life better.

Dear Annie: You have printed many letters from older people who are upset because they are estranged from their grandchildren or because they are not allowed to visit as often as they would like. Here are a few questions these folks might consider: u Do you treat your adult children like adults? Or do you mar visits with unsolicited advice and criticism disguised as concern? Typical topics that should be off-limits include child discipline and housekeeping. u Do you constantly make jokes at your children’s expense or revisit sensitive issues from their youth and then, when they object, claim they have no sense of humor? u Do you expect to be treated like royalty while visiting, rather than pitching in like family members

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could feel tense, as others seem to demand that rules be loosened up some.

You might feel somewhat vulnerable and choose to withdraw within. Tonight: Early to bed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You will be focused on a key matter revolving around a friend or a significant meeting. Emphasize what you want, and speak your mind. Tonight: Where the gang is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to get to know someone in power better. You both have very different approaches that are effective. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might feel more in harmony with someone at distance than you do with many other people. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You succeed best when you work closely with someone else. You know what is workable and what needs to happen.

Tonight: Visit with a favorite person over dinner.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Jan. 21, the 21st day of 2014. There are 344 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 21, 1954, the first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Conn., as first lady Mamie Eisenhower christened the vessel with the traditional bottle of champagne broken against the bow. (However, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later.)

Hocus Focus

should? Bring a dish to share or help prepare dinner and clean up after.

Change the kid’s dirty diaper. Get your duff off of the sofa. u Do you consistently undermine your children’s authority in front of their own children? u Do you find yourself complaining to peers about your children’s reluctance to invite you over or to take your advice about parenting?

If so, trust me, it means the time before, during and after your visits is stressful to your child and his or her partner. And the grandchildren will eventually pick up on this. You are grandparents. That doesn’t make you infallible. Take responsibility for your end of things. — Rolled Up the Welcome Mat Dear Rolled: You make some good points, although we remember a time when grandparents received more respect, when a parent’s advice was cherished and no one would dream of asking Grandma to clean up the house. But on the other extreme, we’ve heard from children whose parents were physically and emotionally abusive and still expect to have full access to the grandchildren. The healthiest relationships lie somewhere in between.

Dear Annie: “Vermont Reader” was upset that people use the handicapped stalls to change their child’s diaper. Some stalls serve double duty, as there is no other accommodation for diaper changing and the handicapped stalls are the only areas large enough.

Bathroom visits tend to be short, regardless of the reason. A person needing to wait for another to finish is not handicapped-specific. It happens to everyone. Sometimes we need to show a bit of latitude.
