tronic cigarettes from now on.

The City Council approved two ordinances Wednesday that outlaw the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors and also prohibit their use in bars, restaurants and other public spaces covered under the city’s existing smoke-free ordinance.

No one spoke against the ordinance banning the sale of electronic smoking devices to anyone under 18.

But the ordinance banning their use in

public areas sparked sharp debate.

City Councilor Ron Trujillo, the lead sponsor of both ordinances, said his children were the impetus of both laws.

“When I’m finding out that sixth-graders, fifth-graders are using these e-cigarettes in school and my child is witnessing this, I’m going, ‘How is this happening? How are children getting ahold of these e-cigarettes?’ ” he said.

Senate confirms state police chief without question Lawmakers laud Kassetas, make no mention of officer-related shootings

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

New Mexico State Police have been under a harsh spotlight because of officer-involved shootings and concerns about gaps in their training and skills.

But not a single state senator questioned state police Chief Pete Kassetas about those topics during his confirmation hearing Wednesday. Senators, in fact, asked Kassetas no questions at all.

Instead, they showered him with praise and joined the audience at the committee hearing in giving Kassetas a standing ovation. The committee’s chairwoman, Sen. Linda Lopez, asked the crowd if there was any opposition to Kassetas’ confirmation, then joked that nobody would dare speak out against him.

Charter Amendment 1: This measure would add a provision mandating that the City Council protect, preserve and enhance Santa Fe’s water resources.

Charter Amendment 2: It would establish a policy on neighborhood preservation.

Charter Amendment 3: This proposal would create a charter section pertaining to both employers and workers. It would establish a policy “in support of local business, an enduring local entrepreneurial spirit and the rights of all to earn a living wage.” Santa Fe’s minimum wage of $10.51 an hour — set to rise to $10.66 on March 1 — is the

Charter Amendment 4: It would establish an independent citizens commission to redraw City Council district boundaries at least every 10 years, after the U.S. census.

Charter Amendment 5: It would require the City Council to have an ordinance limiting campaign contributions to candidates. This would protect an existing code provision that limits privately financed council candidates to $1,000 contributions from individual donors.

Mayoral candidates have a $2,500 limit on individual contributions.

Charter Amendment 6: This would require timely disclosure of proposed expenditures from tax increases or bond measures.

Charter Amendment 7: This measure would authorize an independent audit committee.

Charter Amendment 8: It would enable the mayor to vote on all matters that are before the City Council.

Currently, the mayor can only vote to break ties or “make ties.” City staff members could not remember a mayor ever voting to create a tie.

Charter Amendment 9: This measure would make Santa Fe’s mayor into a full-time position with an annual salary of $74,000 and new powers.

SINKHOLE SWALLOWS CORVETTES

A gaping sinkhole opened beneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. on Wednesday and swallowed eight prized cars like they were toys, piling them in a heap amid loose dirt and concrete fragments. Six of the cars were owned by the museum and two — a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil — were on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette.

In brief

Ex-New Orleans mayor convicted Former New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin — who became the face of a desperate, drowning city during Hurricane Katrina — was convicted Wednesday on charges of accepting bribes from city contractors while in office.

Nagin, a Democrat, was found guilty by a federal jury on 20 of 21 criminal counts, including bribery, conspiracy and wire fraud.

He was acquitted on one count of bribery.

Prosecutors said that Nagin accepted illegal gifts from contractors, beginning before Katrina hit and continuing afterward.

Nagin had moved to Frisco, Texas, after leaving office as mayor in 2010. He has been ordered to remain on home confinement, subject to electronic monitoring, while he awaits sentencing. Several of the 20 charges carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Judge strikes down gay marriage ban LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states, according to a ruling Wednesday by a federal judge, who struck down part of the state ban that he wrote treated “gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them.”

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The DNA of a baby boy who was buried in Montana 12,600 years ago has been recovered, and it provides new indications of the ancient roots of today’s American Indians and other Native peoples of the Americas.

It’s the oldest genome ever recovered from the New World. Artifacts found with the body show the boy was part of the Clovis culture, which existed in North America from about 13,000 years ago to about 12,600 years ago and is named for an archaeological site near Clovis, N.M. The boy’s genome showed his people were direct ancestors of many of today’s Native peoples in the Americas, researchers said. He was more closely related to those in Central and South America than to those in Canada. The reason for that difference isn’t clear, scientists said.

The researchers said they had no Native American DNA from the United States available for comparison, but that they assume the results would be same, with some Native Americans being direct descendants and others also closely related.

The DNA also indicates the boy’s ancestors came from Asia, supporting the standard idea of ancient migration to the Americas by way of a land bridge that disappeared long ago.

The burial site, northeast of Livingston, Mont., is the only burial known from the Clovis culture.

The boy was between 1 year and 18 months old when he died of an unknown cause.

He was buried with 125 artifacts, including spear points and elk antler tools. Some were evidently ritual objects or heirlooms. The artifacts and the skeleton were covered with powdered red ochre, a natural pigment, indicating a burial ceremony.

The skeleton was discovered in 1968 next to a rock cliff, but it’s only in recent years that scientists have been able to recover and analyze complete genomes from such ancient samples.

The DNA analysis was reported online Wednesday in the journal Nature by scientists including Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, Michael Waters of Texas A&M University and Shane Doyle of Montana State University in Bozeman. The burial site lies on the property of the parents of another author, Sarah Anzick of Livingston. It is known as the Anzick site.

Doyle, a member of the Crow tribe, said the indication of such ancient roots for American Indians fits with what many tribal people already believed.

faith-based limitation” without a sufficient justification for it.”

“Assigning a religious or traditional rationale for a law does not make it constitutional when that law discriminates against a class of people without other reasons,” wrote Heyburn, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush.

The decision came in lawsuits brought by four gay and lesbian couples seeking to force the state to recognize their out-of-state marriages.

The ruling only requires Kentucky to recognize the marriages of gay and lesbian couples performed in other states or countries.

Another ice storm across the South ATLANTA — The second wintry storm in two weeks to hit the Deep South encrusted highways, trees and power lines in ice Wednesday, knocking out electricity to nearly a half-million homes and businesses.

Drivers got caught in monumental traffic jams and abandoned their cars Wednesday in North Carolina in a replay of what happened in Atlanta just two weeks ago, as another wintry storm across the South iced highways and knocked out electricity to more than a halfmillion homes and businesses.

While Atlanta’s highways were clear, apparently because people learned their lesson, thousands of cars were backed up on the slippery, snow-covered interstates around Raleigh, N.C., and short commutes turned into hours-long journeys.

At least 11 deaths across the South were blamed on the treacherous weather, and nearly 3,300 airline flights nationwide were canceled. In Georgia, authorities reported several injuries from

snow sledding crashes.

Forecasters warned of a potentially “catastrophic” storm across the South with more than an inch of ice possible in places.

Nov. 3 trial date set in Boston bombing BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was given a November trial date over the strenuous objections of his attorneys, who said Wednesday that they won’t have enough time to mount a defense in a terrorism case that carries a possible death penalty.

The Nov. 3 trial date is nearly a year earlier than the earliest date requested by Tsarnaev’s lawyers, but in line with what prosecutors had sought.

“I think it is a realistic and a fair one,” U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. said of the schedule he set.

Federal prosecutors announced last month that they will seek the death penalty against Tsarnaev, who is charged in twin bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 260.

Prosecutors allege that Tsarnaev, 20, and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, built and planted two pressure cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon last April.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police several days later.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal counts, including using a weapon of mass destruction. He is being held at a federal prison and was not in court for Wednesday’s hearing.

LOS ANGELES — Sid Caesar, the prodigiously talented pioneer of TV comedy who paired with Imogene Coca in sketches that became classics and who inspired a generation of famous writers, died early Wednesday.

He was 91. Caesar died at his home in Los Angeles after a brief illness, family Sid Caesar spokesman Eddy Friedfeld said.

In his two most important shows, Your Show of Shows, 1950-54, and Caesar’s Hour, 1954-57, Caesar displayed remarkable skill in pantomime, satire, mimicry, dialect and sketch comedy. And he gathered a stable of young writers who went on to worldwide fame in their own right — including Neil Simon and Woody Allen.

“The one great star that television created and who created television was Sid Caesar,” said critic Joel Siegel on the TV documentary Hail Sid Caesar! The Golden Age Of Comedy, which first aired in 2001.

While best known for his TV shows, he also had success on Broadway and occasional film appearances, notably in It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

If the typical funnyman was tubby or short and scrawny, Caesar was tall and powerful, with a clown’s loose limbs and rubbery face, and a trademark mole on his left cheek.

But Caesar never went in for clowning or jokes. He insisted that the laughs come from the everyday.

“Real life is the true comedy,” he said in a 2001. “Then everybody knows what you’re talking about.”

Caesar brought observational comedy to TV before the term, or such latter-day practitioners as Jerry Seinfeld, were even born.

The son of Jewish immigrants, Caesar was a wizard at spouting melting-pot gibberish that parodied German, Russian, French and other languages. Some compared him to Charlie Chaplin for his success at combining humor with touches of pathos.

Caesar worked closely with his writing staff. Among those who wrote for Caesar: Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart, Simon and Allen, who was providing gags to Caesar while still in his teens. Carl Reiner based his Dick Van Dyke Show — with its fictional TV writers and their temperamental star — on his experiences there.

Caesar was born in 1922 in Yonkers, N.Y. His talent for comedy was discovered when he was serving in the Coast Guard during World War II and got a part in a Coast Guard musical, Tars and Spars. He also appeared in the movie version. Wrote famed columnist Hedda Hopper: “I hear the picture’s good, with Sid Caesar a four-way threat. He writes, sings, dances and makes with the comedy.”

Debt limit bill clears Senate

Advance of measure brings relief to nervous market

By Andrew Taylor The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Legislation to raise the federal debt limit and prevent a crippling government default cleared Congress on Wednesday with an awkward assist from top Senate Republican leaders who were forced into a politically treacherous vote engineered by tea party favorite Ted Cruz.

The Texas Republican’s maneuver forced several GOP colleagues, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, into a reluctant vote against a filibuster, helping the measure along. It’s a vote likely to cause grief for McConnell, who is facing a primary election challenges.

On a day of legislative drama, the key vote clearing the way for final action was held open for more than an hour — as the stock market looked on nervously — and broke open only after McConnell and top lieutenant John Cornyn, R-Texas, unexpectedly voted “aye.” Several other Republicans then switched their votes to support the measure, ultimately breaking the filibuster by a 67-31 margin.

The bill then passed the Senate by a near party-line 55-43 vote, with all of the

yes votes coming from President Barack Obama’s Democratic allies.

The president is now clear to sign the bill, which allows the government to borrow all the money it needs to pay bills such as Social Security benefits, federal salaries and payments to Medicare and Medicaid providers. Failure to pass it would have likely sent the stock market — which dipped modestly as the voting dragged on — into a tailspin.

After the tally, Cruz said he had no regrets about his political maneuvers in opposition to the bill, saying the “Senate has given President Obama a blank check.”

As for forcing a difficult vote upon McConnell, Cruz said: “That is ultimately a decision … for the voters of Kentucky.”

McConnell faces a primary election challenge from tea party candidate Matt Bevin and has been under sharp criticism from outside groups who say he isn’t conservative enough.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., was among those who appeared frustrated by the political theatrics.

“A lot of people stepped up and did what they needed to do,” Corker said of those who acted to let the must-pass legislation win final approval. Congress has never failed to act to prevent a default on U.S. obligations, which most experts say would spook financial markets and cause a spike

in interest rates.

Cruz countered: “In my view, every Republican should stand together against raising the debt ceiling without meaningful structural reforms to rein in our out-ofcontrol spending.”

The same bill had passed the House on Tuesday after Republican leaders gave up efforts to hold up the debt ceiling measure to win concessions from Obama on GOP agenda items like winning approval of construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Quick action on this latest debt limit bill stands in contrast to lengthy showdowns in 2012 and last fall, when Republicans sought to use the must-pass legislation as leverage to win concessions from Obama.

They succeeded in 2011, winning about $2 trillion in spending cuts.

But Obama has been unwilling to negotiate over the deb limit since his re-election, and Wednesday’s legislation is the third consecutive debt measure passed without White House concessions.

Republicans have been less confrontational since October’s 16-day partial government shutdown sent GOP poll numbers skidding and chastened the party’s tea party faction.

Republicans have instead sought to focus voters’ attention on the implementation and effects of Obama’s health care law.

2014 Legislature

Proposal to revamp education system moves forward Dems’ measure calls for nixing secretary and creating state board

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The Senate Education Committee voted 5-4 Wednesday to support a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the position of education secretary in favor of forming a state board of education.

Senators voted along party lines, with the four Republicans on the committee voting against the measure.

The proposal, Senate Joint Resolution 2, comes as Democrats have been harshly critical of Gov. Susana Martinez’s education secretary-designate, Hanna Skandera.

If it’s approved by a majority in both the Senate and House, the measure will go to voters in November — barring any court challenges. And if voters approve the constitutional change in the next general election, the state

would then strip the Public Education Department of its Cabinet-level status and return the agency to its previous system of being governed by a 13-member board.

A state board and superintendent ran the state’s education system from territorial days until 2003, though the board’s duties changed during the decades in between. Several efforts were made to appoint a secretary of education, and in 2003, state lawmakers successfully passed a joint resolution approving the secretary position in an effort to give more control over the agency to the governor — who was then Bill Richardson. Richardson appointed Veronica Garcia as the state’s first secretary in November of that year.

Shortly after taking office early in 2011, Martinez appointed Skandera as her secretary of education. Though Skandera’s name was rarely mentioned during Wednesday’s two-hour discussion, several Republicans on the committee indicated that the bill, introduced by Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, is intended to remove her from the position regardless of

whether Martinez wins re-election.

The proposal includes a provision stating that the superintendent must be a qualified educator and licensed teacher. Skandera’s critics often cite her lack of experience in the classroom as a factor in their arguments that she is unqualified for the job.

Many of her policies, including a new teacher-evaluation system with an emphasis on student test scores and an A-F school grading system, have come under fire.

The state currently has a 10-member Public Education Commission, whose sole duty is to approve or deny charter school applications and then renew those applications every five years.

One of those positions remains vacant.

Padilla’s resolution would immediately transform the current commission into the initial board of education and allow the governor to appoint three additional members, as well as fill the vacant position. Starting in 2016, voters would elect state board of education members.

That board would appoint an interim state superintendent by mid-

Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 7 Who’s using the zia symbol?: Who has the right to use the zia sun symbol, which is found on New Mexico’s state flag? Are there any restrictions on how it may be used? The Senate has formally asked the state Department of Cultural Affairs to write a report to answer these questions.

Senate Memorial 1, sponsored by state Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, passed by the Senate on Wednesday, says, “The history of litigation, legislation, gubernatorial actions and efforts by the Pueblo of Zia has created questions as to who may use the Zia sun symbol and how it may be used.”

A fiscal impact report on the memorial says, “The history of the Symbol’s use is long and complex, so any change to position or policy on use and control by the state could also be complicated.”

The report said the department should consult with Zia Pueblo, but cautions that “there is potential for conflicts of interest between the state and the pueblo, particularly if the report is intended to include recommendations.”

The state flag, which has a yellow field with the red zia symbol in the middle, was designed in the early 1920s by Dr. Harry Mera, a physician and anthropologist at the Museum of Anthropology in Santa Fe. Mera reportedly was inspired by a pot on display in the museum. Mera’s design formally was adopted as the state flag in 1925.

Strike up the band: The full Senate on Wednesday passed Senate Bill 122, introduced by Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho. If passed by the House and signed by the governor, the bill would allow students to count cheerleading, marching band and ROTC as physical education units. Many students had believed that taking these courses made them eligible to earn PE credits, until the Public Education Department pointed out that they don’t meet state criteria.

December of this year to serve until July 1, 2015, when the board would appoint a permanent state superintendent. It was unclear how the new superintendent’s salary would be determined. Skandera earns about $125,000 a year.

Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Albuquerque, questioned the idea of authorizing the Public Education Commission to take initial positions as board members.

“We elected them to fill that job and that job only. … That’s a different set of qualifications than having them run the entire education department of the state.”

Sen. Gay Kernan, R-Hobbs, said she was serving as a lawmaker 10 years ago when the switch from a state board to a secretary was made.

Despite criticisms of today’s educational policies, she said, “the old way is no better than the current way.” She and other Republicans on the committee said educational policy is set by the governor, not the secretary of education.

Padilla said under the proposal, the education department’s annual budget

The measure also would give school districts the power to determine ways for students to meet their PE credit requirements.

Berendo leaders: The New Mexico House of Representatives on Wednesday honored the student council of Berendo Middle School in Roswell, where a 12-year-old student is accused of shooting two other students on Jan. 14. Members of the council were hailed on the House floor as leaders helping to guide the school through its most difficult hour.

Let them eat enchiladas: Rep. Debbie Rodella, D-Española, treated the House of Representatives to lunch Wednesday. She provided enchiladas for the entire chamber. Her handiwork drew plenty of praise from both sides of the aisle. The enchiladas were smothered in red chile from Chimayó heirloom seeds. For dessert, House members had cake at their desks to celebrate the birthday of House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants.

World takes notice: Miss Indian

World 2013-14, Kansas Begaye, originally from Waterflow and a member of the Navajo Nation, was recognized on the House floor Wednesday. She lives in Rio Rancho and was crowned at last year’s Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque. She graduated from The University of New Mexico in 2011 with a degree in Native American Studies.

Begaye also is an accomplished singer, having recorded four albums, and received the Rising Star award at the Native American Music Awards.

Education bill moves forward: The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-3 Wednesday evening to forward an amended resolution that would tap the state’s Land Grant Permanent Fund for early childhood education programming. The bill calls for 5.5 percent to be taken from the fund annually for K-12 education and another 1.5 percent for early childhood programs through the state’s Children, Youth and Families Department.

Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque, voted with the committee’s Republican

members to defeat the resolution.

The measure’s next step is the Senate Finance Committee, where a similar effort died last year when the chairman, Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, declined to give it a vote.

He has not said whether he will allow the measure to be heard this time.

More school days: The Senate Education Committee gave a “do pass” to a bill introduced by Sen. Joseph Cervantes, D-Las Cruces, that would extend the school year from 180 to 200 academic days.

“The notion of having a three-month break in the summer is disruptive,” Cervantes told the committee, arguing that parents have a hard time keeping kids focused and learning. “If our kids are in school more, they will learn more,” he said. The bill calls for an appropriation of $250 million, though some senators on the committee suggested that price tag may be higher.

Though many educators in the committee hearing voiced support for the idea, one mother stood up and told the committee she has a better way to come up with more school days without expanding the schedule: “Add 20 days more of teaching by having 20 days less of testing.”

Cervantes pitched a similar bill last year without success.

Quote of the day: “There’s no mention of La Llorona in the memorial, and I think that’s a big failing.” — Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, referring to a House memorial Wednesday recognizing the significance of acequias.

Martinez hints budget battle could force special session House returns proposal to panel for more work

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

Education ideology continued to divide Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday as the New Mexico House of Representatives bounced the stalled $6.2 billion state budget back to a committee for more work.

The Legislature has one week to accomplish its primary mission during the 30-day session — setting spending for the fiscal year ahead.

Republicans favored taking action on a compromise proposal Wednesday, but they were missing a member, Rep. Dianne Hamilton of Silver City, and were outnumbered. With Rep. Sandra Jeff, D-Crownpoint, joining GOP representatives, Democrats prevailed 34-33 on the vote to send the budget back to the House Appropriations and Finance Committee, which is set to meet Thursday morning.

House Republican leader Donald Bratton of Hobbs scolded the chamber for its “foot-dragging.”

“It disappoints me that we haven’t done the job that we were elected to

do,” he said.

Bratton and House Speaker Ken Martinez, D-Grants, have engaged in what both called good-faith negotiations since a 34-34 vote Friday froze the budget’s progress in the House.

Both met with members of their parties for hours Wednesday before negotiations broke down over the same issues that divided the House last week.

At issue is the GOP’s preference, shared by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, to provide $20 million in funds to the Public Education Department for school reforms, such as merit pay for teachers and principals as well as assessments. Democrats prefer to leave the money in school districts’ control.

“We’re at an impasse on the House floor and not doing the people’s business because we can’t agree on how we’re going to spend 2 cents out of that $6 and a dime,” Bratton said, putting the figures in everyday perspective.

Speaker Martinez said his caucus studied ways to give Republicans some of what they want without shifting that money from school districts’ control, including taking 2 percent across the board from other state

programs. Meanwhile, he said, Republicans lowered their expectations from $20 million to about $17 million for reform initiatives.

Ultimately, the speaker said, his fellow Democrats could not stomach the concession, in part because the GOP proposal would have given the Public Education Department broad discretion over how the money could be used, and many programs would have been shorted.

“Nothing changed,” said Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, chairman of the Legislative Finance Committee. In the GOP offer, he said, “I didn’t see anything I liked.”

Gov. Martinez hinted Wednesday that time lost to the budget showdown could force a special session. The governor blamed Democrats for the delay.

“Sadly, the rejection of a bipartisan compromise represents a desire by some to bring Washington, D.C., partisanship and gridlock to New Mexico,” the governor’s spokesman, Enrique Knell, said in an email. “Extreme elements want to increase government spending to bureaucracies without providing any meaningful education reform.”

Bratton warned the House that the budget faces a potential veto by the

governor, and he urged the body to pass a compromise that she is likely to accept.

“A special session is a concern, but it could also be a threat,” Speaker Martinez said.

He suggested the governor’s administration has overestimated its negotiating leverage because two Democrats are out with health problems and unlikely to return this session, reducing the Democrats’ majority to 35-33.

Democrats had an opportunity Wednesday to seize an advantage — despite Jeff’s defection — and pass the budget in the absence of the Republican Hamilton. But Speaker Martinez said his party opted, instead, to send the budget back to a committee instead because it is more likely to make progress there than in the full House.

“Is there time to avoid a special [session]? Yes,” Speaker Martinez said.

“We’ve seen a lot of magic happen up here in the last 48 hours. Will it happen this time? I don’t know.”

would still remain in the hands of lawmakers.

Padilla and his supporters denied the proposal was directed toward Skandera, but Brandt said, “This is flat out about the secretary. I have a hard time believing this is not about the person who is in office.”

The vote on the resolution next goes to the Senate floor, where Democrats hold a 25-17 advantage, and then to the House floor, where Democrats hold a 37-35 advantage.

Both Padilla and Sen. William Soules, D-Las Cruces, expressed confidence that there will be enough votes to see the bill through both houses. As a joint resolution, it does not require the endorsement of the governor, nor can she veto it.

The Senate Rules Committee, which confirms all of the governor’s Cabinet secretary choices, still has not held a final hearing to recommend Skandera for confirmation. This year’s legislative session ends Feb. 20.

House Dem Cote says he won’t seek re-election Republicans see hope of gaining control next year

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Democratic State Rep. Nate Cote, who took a seat away from a Republican incumbent in 2012, will not seek re-election this year.

“I agonized, but it’s definite now,” Cote said Wednesday.

Republicans last held a majority in the state House of RepresentaNate Cote tives in 1953, but Cote’s pending departure heightens their hopes of taking control next year. Democrats now have a 37-33 advantage.

Cote, of Organ, represents District 53, which includes parts of Otero and Doña Ana counties. He lost the seat to Republican Rick Little in 2010, then won it back from Little in 2012.

Republicans have a voter registration edge in the district, and Cote surprised legislators in his own party by recapturing the seat. Little, of Chaparral, has said he plans to run again this year for the House seat. The election is in November.

Cote, 67, said he is retiring from politics to pay attention to his health and enjoy retirement.

“This isn’t the least stressful place,” he said.

Cote was at the Capitol on Wednesday with the woman he hopes will succeed him in the Legislature. She is Mariaelena Johnson, who became a visible figure in state politics because of the chaotic 2012 Election Day in the border town of Chaparral.

Johnson was a community organizer in Chaparral and a key witness last year before a legislative committee that inquired about a confrontation involving voters and Otero County public employees.

Panicked election workers from the Otero County Clerk’s Office called the sheriff on election night after a line of mostly Hispanic voters overwhelmed the polling place in Chaparral.

The former county clerk said these waiting voters were “unruly.” Johnson and others at the polling place said that charge was false.

Johnson said Chaparral residents, some in their 80s, simply wanted to vote and they showed up en masse to do so.

Sheriff’s deputies put yellow police tape around the polling place and then watched over those in line. Cote complained that a police presence at the polls had intimidated voters, prompting him to offer a number of reform bills on elections.

2014 Legislature

Subpoena: Democrats riled over lease for The Downs Continued from Page A-1 Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. Block, who eventually pleaded guilty to several criminal charges, resigned before he could be impeached.

“This is not something I do lightly, nor is it something I wish the Senate to consider,” Lopez told the committee. “It is my hope that [Mourning] will see the seriousness of the situation.” She said she hopes Senate Republicans will encourage Mourning to come before the committee.

Lopez and other Democrats have Linda Lopez been highly critical of The Downs’ 25-year lease to operate a racetrack and casino at Expo New Mexico, some claiming the administration pressured the State Fair Commission to approve the contract with the partnership. Two of the partners and some of their companies contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Martinez’s 2010 election campaign.

A draft of the resolution says, “despite repeated requests, Expo New Mexico general manager Dan Mourning has refused to appear before the Senate Rules Committee to provide it with information necessary for the committee to make a considered recommendation on the nomination of the executive’s appointments to the State Fair Commission.”

On Wednesday, the committee gave positive recommendations to Charles Brown and Bill Lee, two of Gov. Susana Martinez’s fair commission nominees. The full Senate later unanimously confirmed both commissioners.

However, the committee didn’t act on Martinez’s request to reconfirm commission Chairman Larry Kennedy. Instead, lawmakers grilled him about the operation of the fairgrounds and whether the commission or Mourning was actually running Expo New Mexico.

Martinez’s spokesman Enrique Knell said Wednesday that Mourning was at an Albuquerque hospital with his son when the committee was meeting. He said Mourning did not receive an invitation to appear at that hearing.

“Before Sen. Lopez attempts to use a man’s absence as a stunt to further her failing gubernatorial campaign, she should check the facts and avoid smearing a man who was caring for his child,” Knell said. He said Mourning has testified several times before other committees that have invited him.

“Sen. Lopez has had three years to hold these hearings, she has revealed nothing new, and the only reason she continues to hold them is to prop up her flailing campaign for governor,” Knell said.

Lopez is one of five Democrats running for governor.

Mourning was invited to but didn’t attend a Rules Committee hearing Monday, Feb. 10. After that hearing, Knell denounced it as “nothing more than a taxpayer-funded political circus orchestrated by a desperate candidate for governor where not a single new piece of information was revealed. What you saw were people with incredible axes to grind, all of whom have had their wild-eyed accusations repeatedly discredited.”

That was an apparent reference to Tom Tinnin, a former fair commissioner who resigned from the state Board of Finance over The Downs lease; former commissioner Charlotte Rode and current member Kenneth “Twister” Smith. Rode and Smith were appointed by Martinez but voted against The Downs lease in 2011.

At Monday’s hearing, Tinnin, Rode and Smith testified about The Downs lease and said the administration had tried to keep fair commissioners out of the loop.

On Wednesday, Knell criticized Lopez for not questioning Rode about the fact that her husband’s company was hired by The Downs last year to install a fiber optics line and a telephone at the racino.

After Monday’s hearing, Rode told The New Mexican that one of her husband’s partners had accepted that job, and she had known nothing about it.

Study disputes value of routine mammograms

By Marilynn Marchione

The Associated Press

A Canadian study that many experts say has major flaws has revived debate about the value of mammograms. The research suggests that these screening X-rays do not lower the risk of dying of breast cancer while finding many tumors that do not need treatment.

The study gives longer follow-up on nearly 90,000 women who had annual breast exams by a nurse to check for lumps plus a mammogram, or the nurse’s breast exam alone.

After more than two decades, breast cancer death rates were similar in the two groups, suggesting little benefit from mammograms.

It’s important to note that this study did not compare mammograms to no screening at all, as most other research on this topic has.

Many groups have not endorsed breast exams for screening because of limited evidence that they save lives.

Critics of the Canadian study also say it used outdated equipment and poor methods that made mammograms look unfairly ineffective.

The study was published Wednesday in the British journal BMJ. Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer and cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Nearly 1.4 million

new cases are diagnosed each year.

Many studies have found that mammography saves lives, but how many and for what age groups is debatable.

It also causes many false alarms and overtreatment of cancers never destined to become life-threatening.

In the U.S., a governmentappointed task force that gives screening advice does not back mammograms until age 50, and then only every other year. The American Cancer Society recommends them every year starting at age 40. Other countries screen less aggressively. In Britain, for example, mammograms are usually offered only every three years.

The Canadian study has long been the most pessimistic on the value of mammograms. It initially reported that after five years of screening, 666 cancers were found among women given mammograms plus breast exams versus 524 cancers among those given the exams alone.

After 25 years of follow-up, about 500 in each group died, suggesting mammograms were not saving lives.

The similarity in the death rates suggests that the 142 “extra” cancers caught by mammograms represent overdiagnosis — tumors not destined to prove fatal, study leaders concluded.

The work was immediately criticized. The American College of Radi-

ology and Society of Breast Imaging called it “an incredibly misleading analysis based on the deeply flawed and widely discredited” study. Mammograms typically find far more cancers than this study did, suggesting the quality was poor, the groups contend.

In a letter posted by the medical journal, Dr. Daniel Kopans, a radiologist at Harvard Medical School, described outdated machines and methods he saw in 1990, when he was one of the experts asked to review the quality of mammograms used in the study.

“I can personally attest to the fact that the quality was poor,” he wrote.

“To save money they used secondhand mammography machines” that gave poor images, failed to properly position breasts for imaging, and did not train radiologists on how to interpret the scans, he wrote.

The study leader, Dr. Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto, said it was “completely untrue” that inferior equipment or methods were used.

Still, the study highlights the fact that mammograms are an imperfect tool that lead to many false alarms, needless biopsies and treatment of many tumors that would never threaten a woman’s life.

“Overdiagnosis is not an anomaly in the study from Canada. This has

been compellingly demonstrated in research from the U.S. and Europe,” said another study leader, Dr. Cornelia Baines of the University of Toronto.

Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, a professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in New Hampshire, spoke on the issue at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December.

“Screening is a choice, not a public health imperative. There are tradeoffs here,” he said.

“The people who stand to gain the most from screening are the people at greatest risk of the disease” — older women who are more likely to have breast cancer and those not too old that they are likely to die of something else, he said.

Death rates from breast cancer have fallen mostly because of dramatic improvement in treatments, he and other doctors have said.

“The better we are at treating clinically evident disease, the less important it becomes to find it early,” Welch said.

A big caveat: The Canadian study was on routine mammograms to screen healthy women. No one doubts the value of diagnostic mammograms — more detailed X-rays when a problem is suspected or after a lump has been found.

Zeckendorf: Instrumental in establishing Lensic Continued from Page A-1 visionary,” said Santa Fe lawyer Earl Potter, who worked with Zeckendorf on such projects as the Eldorado Hotel, which opened in 1986 as the city’s largest and most upscale hotel.

“He was able to see what the Eldorado would mean for the town,” said Potter, who became a close personal friend. “It was controversial at the time because of its size and height, but it really helped lay the foundation for the prosperity of this town in the ’80s and ’90s.”

Zeckendorf also spearheaded such local developments as the Hotel Santa Fe, Los Miradores residential condominiums at St. John’s College and the Sierra del Norte subdivision off Hyde Park Road.

Along with his wife, Nancy Zeckendorf, he was instrumental in establishing the Lensic Performing Arts Center, which transformed a 1930s-era movie theater into a venue used by a variety of professional performing arts and cultural organizations. She continues to chair the center’s board as a founding director.

Although he was born and raised in New York, his family has roots in Santa Fe dating to the mid1800s, when members of an earlier generation were among German immigrants who became merchants in Santa Fe and Albuquerque before moving to Tucson, Ariz., in 1870.

Bill Zeckendorf Jr. was born Oct. 31, 1929, in New York City. He graduated from Lawrenceville, an elite college preparatory school in New Jersey, in 1948. He attended Arizona University for two years before serving in the U.S. Army in Korea for 18 months.

He joined his father’s company in 1953 and, according to a Time magazine article, was a bit of a playboy, carousing with singer Judy Garland and other celebrities at the opening of Manhattan’s Peppermint Lounge in 1961.

The elder Zeckendorf went bankrupt in 1965, but formed a comeback firm in which his son also worked.

The younger Zeckendorf’s developments include the Ronald Reagan Office Building in Washington, D.C. In New York City, projects include Worldwide Plaza, a full-block residentialoffice complex on Eighth Avenue, and the Zeckendorf Towers overlooking Union Square. He also developed hotels in New York and was responsible

for construction of several hundred apartments in New York and other U.S. cities.

Like his father, he also suffered setbacks in his career. According to an article in The New York Observer, his Manhattan real estate ventures ran into problems after the banking slump of the early 1990s. In March 2000, a front-page article in The Wall Street Journal reported an incident in which collection attorneys got a court order to break into the Zeckendorfs’ penthouse apartment at New York’s Delmonico Hotel to search for assets.

According to a history prepared by the Lensic, he had met his wife, Nancy, in Santa Fe in 1961 through his mother and stepfather, the music critic Irvin Kolodin, who was in Santa Fe to review operas. She had been a ballerina with the Metropolitan Opera for nine years and had come West to

perform with The Santa Fe Opera. They were married in 1963, his second marriage. His first wife, the late Guri Lie Zeckendorf, was the daughter of the first U.N. secretary-general, Trygve Lie. Bill and Nancy Zeckendorf visited Santa Fe frequently, and he once told an interviewer that it was during an Indian Market weekend when they had difficulty finding a hotel room that he began thinking about the potential for a hotel like the Eldorado. For years, they maintained homes in both New York and Santa Fe. Potter said they gradually spent more and more time in Santa Fe and during the last 15 years or so lived full-time in Santa Fe. They both threw themselves into philanthropic efforts. In addition to their work on the Lensic, she served on The Santa Fe Opera board for 15 years, and he served on the boards of the local hospital and the College of Santa Fe, as well as the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s executive committee.

They also were involved with Santa Fe Cares and the youth tennis program First Serve.

In 2011, they were named Santa Fe Living Treasures.

Among other activities, he was a longtime member of the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Testavin, an international organization which, according to its website, is dedicated to promoting Burgundy, “notably its wines and cuisine, preserving and reviving its traditional festivals, folklore and customs, and encouraging the development of tourism in the region.” Potter said Zeckendorf was a wine collector with “an unbelievable wine cellar.”

Zeckendorf had broad social acquaintances, Potter said, and “was always introducing people to Santa Fe. He had a true love of the town and what it could be in its best aspects. He was very philanthropic, which was just as important to him as the business part.”

In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons, William and Arthur Zeckendorf, who after college had joined their father in the real estate business and now have their own firm in New York City.

A statement issued in Santa Fe on behalf of the family Wednesday said a memorial service will be held in March, details of which will be announced soon.

E-cigs: More than a dozen waited hours to testify Continued from Page A-1 “I don’t want to take the chance of these things affecting my health or my children’s,” he said.

More than a dozen people waited hours at City Hall to testify on the two ordinances.

Several people who spoke against it said they were longtime smokers who used e-cigarettes as cessation devices and that restricting their use could lead smokers back to regular cigarettes.

“There are very few successful

ways to stop smoking. There are support groups. There’s Nicorette.

There’s the nicotine patch. I have tried them all,” said Marilyn Bane, who smoked regular cigarettes for more than 50 years before trying electronic cigarettes.

“The electronic cigarette literally saved my life,” said Bane, president of the Old Santa Fe Association. “Everything you do to discourage the use of e-cigarettes is going to discourage the number of people who are trying to stop smoking. I just think that’s a

perspective that you ought to think about. I won’t expect it to change your minds particularly, but I think you ought to think about it because it’s a very serious, a very serious problem for people who smoke.”

The two sides presented contradictory research on the dangers of the vapors in the e-cigarettes.

“The public has no guarantee on how they’re made, what toxins they may contain or how many they emit,” said Lacey Daniell, a member of the

American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network.

Still, others said e-cigarettes are much safer than regular cigarettes and that the council shouldn’t treat them the same.

“To put them all under one umbrella, I think, is premature, and it sends the message from government to the people that these are the same as cigarettes, and they are greatly different,” said Lee Pack, who smoked regular cigarettes for 25 years before turning to e-cigarettes.

District Judge Raphaelson helps defendant in accident The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A Northern New Mexico judge stopped at an accident scene on a snowy highway and helped an injured person who turned out to be a defendant due in her courtroom.

First District Court Judge Sheri Raphaelson and a court bailiff

were driving from Española to court in Tierra Amarilla the morning of Feb. 4, when they came upon an overturned pickup that had skidded off the highway.

Raphaelson says she recognized an injured passenger who was removed from the truck as burglary defendant Isaac

Martinez. He had a pretrial hearing scheduled the same day in Raphaelson’s court.

Raphaelson covered Martinez with her jacket as they waited for help, and she tried to calm him.

Raphaelson is trained as an emergency medical technician and also is a midwife, but she

didn’t have her medical kit with her, only a stethoscope.

She used it to listen to his lungs and also checked the pulse of Martinez, who was bleeding from his hand and head. “I could see blood everywhere and I tried to see where it was coming from,” she told the Albuquerque Journal.

LOCAL NEWS Lamy road stirs oil fears County investigating if highway can handle weight of oil tankers

By Staci Matlock

S

anta Fe County is investigating whether a county road in Lamy can carry the weight of oil tanker trucks expected to start rolling through in March under a controversial plan by an Oklahoma company that intends to transfer the crude oil onto trains at a station in the village.

The county took core samples of County Road 33 through Lamy in late January and are waiting for final road test results from an independent engineering firm in Santa Fe. Lamy residents oppose the oil offloading plan for several reasons, including the impacts of half a dozen tanker trucks on the two-lane, recently repaved county road that is the only way in and out of town. They’re also worried about offloading oil so close to the community well, which is 109 feet away, and so close to the nearby Galisteo Creek.

Oklahoma-based Pacer Energy Marketing signed a lease to use a railroad spur in Lamy owned

by Santa Fe Southern Railway to offload crude oil to train tanker cars. The crude oil will be shipped by rail to refineries elsewhere.

The county has little control over the railroad site, but can set vehicle weight and traffic limits to protect the county road. “The county is supposed to be drafting an ordinance to put weight restrictions on CR 33, but we haven’t seen anything yet,” said Roger Taylor, a Lamy resident.

Santa Fe County Public Works Director Adam Leigland confirmed the county is looking at an ordinance setting weight limits on the road, but the earliest it can be considered by the County Commission is probably in April.

The core samples taken on County Road 33 show that the base coarse layer and the upper asphalt layer on the road are thinner than county code requires. Leigland said the road doesn’t meet the county code because it isn’t part of a new development. It was given to the county by the state Department of Transportation decades ago.

The county is still waiting for results of the road test conducted on the core samples to know the maximum weight and traffic the road can take before it begins to degrade over time. Leigland said

the county wants to avoid major repairs to the road for 20 years.

Currently, about 400 vehicles a day use the road, he said. Between six and eight Pacer oil tanker trucks a day are expected to use the road once the offload site opens.

Depending on the number of axles on a truck and how much it is carrying, the weight of a common tanker truck is between 47,000 and 72,000 pounds, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

Currently, Pacer has an oil offload site in Thoreau that handles oil produced in the Four

Corners area, but it needed an alternate site in the state. “But our understanding is the drilling is headed east toward Santa Fe,” said Tom Birkett, Pacer’s transportation manager.

The Lamy offload depot also is well-situated to handle oil coming from the eastern part of the state such as Union, Harding and San Miguel County, if drilling begins there.

He enjoyed flying, family, always delivered

By Anne Constable The New Mexican

Whether it was delivering babies, fishing for salmon, flying an airplane or packing his 10 children into a Volkswagen bus for a road trip to Florida, Adrian H. Bodelson relished it all.

“Whatever he did, he did it 120 percent,” said his daughter Patricia Brewer. “He didn’t just skim the surface. He had a thirst for knowing things thoroughly and deeply.”

Bodelson, a physician who brought thousands of Northern New Mexico children into this world and was on the staff of what is now Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center for more than 50 years, died Saturday at his home in Santa Fe at age 90.

Daughter Ann Brown called her father the “consummate physician” who “never did anything just a little bit.” He tied his own flies. Assembled a choice antique gun collection. Knew more about his airplane than the mechanic. Before going on an angling trip to Brazil, he typically learned all there was to know about the fish there. Stacked next to his bed were everything from medical journals to flying magazines to copies of Outdoor Life.

“My dad loved what he did with the babies,” said his eldest son, Dan Bodelson.

Sometimes he didn’t see his father for a week.

But in his dad’s free time, “It was all about, ‘Where are we going to fish?’ ‘Where are we going to hunt?’ ‘Where are we going to go camping?’ ‘What are my horses doing?’ ”

Police: Rent payments being stolen Sticks being used to ‘fish’ checks, money orders from drop boxes

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

The Santa Fe Police Department reported Wednesday that thieves are stealing checks and money orders intended for rent payments from safe boxes at some apartment complexes in the city.

According to police reports, thieves have hit five south-side complexes between Jan. 30 and Feb. 6, including the Bluffs at Tierra Contenta, 6600 Jaguar Drive; the Tuscany at Saint Francis Apartments, 2218 Miguel Chavez Road; Villa Alegre Apartments, 233 Villa Alegre Street; Santa Fe Apartments, 255 Camino Alire; and the Paseo del Sol Apartments, 4551 Paseo del Sol. Celina Westervelt, a police department spokeswoman, said officers have confirmed thefts at all the locations, and another may have occurred at the Village Sage Apartments, 5951 Larson Loop. According to police reports, the thieves either damage the boxes or fish checks and money orders from the boxes using a stick.

Crystal Sandoval, who lives at the Village Sage Apartments, said someone stole her money order intended for a rent payment.

She said she dropped off the $700 money order Jan. 31 in a safe deposit box on the complex grounds.

It wasn’t until later, when she had checked her records, that she found someone had swiped it, she said, adding that she filed a police report Tuesday.

She said staff at the complex initially said she would have to write another money order to make up for the first one, though she said they reconsidered when they realized that the thefts had occurred at multiple apartment complexes.

According to a report, the manager at Bluffs at Tierra Contenta told officers she found a tree branch inside the box and noticed glue on some of the checks.

In an incident report, an officer wrote that the drop box opening was too narrow for an adult arm. “It is possible,” the officer wrote, “that the suspect[s] used a stick with a sticky media attached to the tip to literally ‘fish’ out checks from the box.”

The officer also wrote that thieves probably were targeting money orders because they are “harder to track but easier to forge.”

Westervelt said in an email Wednesday that officers will closely patrol apartment complexes near the end of February and the beginning of March. She said the alleged thieves likely would face felony larceny or burglary charges. In a news release, police stated that renters whose checks or money orders have been stolen should cancel the payments immediately and file a police report.

Police said anyone with information or questions about the thefts should call Sgt. Ben Valdez at 955-5040 or the Regional Emergency Communications Center at 428-3710.

Regal cinemas might remain at DeVargas Executive confirms theater upgrade could lead to lease extension

Doctor brought thousands of N.M. babies into the world

Adrian Bodelson was on the staff of what is now Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center for more than 50 years. He died Saturday.

Bodelson grew up in southwestern Minnesota, earned his Eagle Scout rank and quarterbacked his high school football team.

He graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Medicine and in 1947 married Corinne Turgeon, a nurse, with whom he had 10 children.

Bodelson was a naval flight surgeon aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bairoko during the Korean War. In 1964, he and his family moved from Boulder, Colo., to Santa Fe, where he opened his ob-gyn practice and joined St. Vincent. While looking for a home big enough for his large family, the Bodelsons bunked at the home of the archbishop of Santa Fe, which was near the downtown hospital.

In the 1960s, he worked with the Catholic Maternity Institute in Santa Fe, a clinic for unmarried mothers. He volunteered at the Indian Hospital. At St. Vincent, he served as chief of staff.

Bodelson delivered the last baby at the old hospital, according to his family. They

remember countless occasions when a parent at a basketball game, a store cashier, a teacher or a waitress would say that their father had delivered them — and/or their children.

Off-duty, Bodelson was up for any adventure. Dan Bodelson recalls the trips to Pensacola, Fla., where his father had been stationed. People kept slowing down to count all the kids in the car until the siblings put a sign in the window saying, “10 kids.”

His years in the military engendered a love of flying that led to his purchase of a small plane with some partners, which he used to scout prime fishing waters and visit his horses on the Esquibel Ranch. Dan Bodelson said his father, known as Bo, would land on a road to Tres Piedras, where he would call Tony Esquibel, who would come and pick him up. (Bodelson delivered the Esquibels’ children).

Dan Bodelson recalled that his father often would call him up and say, “Hey, what are you doing?” If he answered, “Well, nothing,” his dad would ask, “Want to go fishing? We’re leaving now.”

In the early 1990s, Dan Bodelson turned the tables. He had been offered a fishing trip to Alaska and called his dad and said, “Hey, what are you doing? Want to go fishing in Alaska on me?” “When?” his dad asked.

“Tomorrow,” Dan Bodelson replied. His dad said yes and immediately packed his bags.

“I don’t think he had a whole lot of regrets,” Dan Bodelson said of his father’s life.

Regal Entertainment Group confirmed this week that it is considering extending its movie theater lease at DeVargas Center and installing digital equipment so it can screen first-run movies.

The number of films released in 35 mm is slowly dwindling, reducing the options for the Regal DeVargas and limiting choices for film fans who live on the north side of the city. Once upon a time, Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey might have been shown there. But the film was not available in 35 mm and was screened, instead, at the south-side Regal Stadium 14, which has state-of-the-art projection equipment.

In an interview this week, Paul Serwitz, vice president of film for Regal, confirmed the company had planned to end its lease at the north-side mall. But he said he heard Tuesday that negotiations on extending the lease are underway. Regal might also upgrade the theaters, he said, as well as convert to digital.

Serwitz said Regal executives were in Santa Fe this week, checking out the market.

Meanwhile, the movie theater scene in Santa Fe is going to get more competitive. While Regal is mulling its decision on DeVargas, Violet Crown, an Austin, Texas-based company, said it will break ground Feb. 28 on its long-awaited theater in the Railyard. It is expected to open by the end of this year.

Richard Czoski, executive director of the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp., which handles leasing in the city-owned Railyard, said the financing is in place and Violet Crown is negotiating with a general contractor.

The city has done some preliminary work, he said, including waterproofing the south wall of the underground Railyard parking garage. Also, he said, Alcaldesa Street will be completed through to Camino de la Familia.

In December, the City Council approved a beer and wine license for Violet Crown. Food and beverages

found three dogs that had been shot in La Cienega, a semi-rural community southwest of Santa Fe. Two of those canines died, but the third, now named Negra, survived its wounds and is recovering at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society. A spokesman for the center said staff are looking to get the dog into a foster home.

Deputies said they were investigating the La Cienega incidents, but they hadn’t ruled them criminal offenses.

Animal Protection of New Mexico is offering up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the La Cienega shootings.

Regal: DeVargas site lacks digital capability Continued from Page A-7 will be available in both the restaurant and in the movie halls.

Small tables will be installed between the wide leather seats, Czoski said.

Moviegoers will be able to reserve seats online. People sitting in the first row, normally not a popular location for watching movies, will have ottomans, and the floor will be slanted backward to give them a better angle on the screen, Czoski said. Digital projection equipment will be state of the art.

He said he had visited Violet Crown’s flagship in Austin, and he was “very impressed.”

The new theater will have 11 screens and between 750 and 800 seats, compared to about

2,400 at the Regal 14. DeVargas has about 1,000.

Czoski said the new Violet Crown will show a variety of movies, including blockbusters, if there is demand for that genre.

He said the nice thing about digital is that the film arrives on a hard drive and can be shown in different theaters, simultaneously if necessary.

Jon Bowman, general manager of the Jean Cocteau Cinema, adjacent to the Railyard, said that for months, rumors were circulating that the Regal DeVargas was closing, but lately those rumors have reversed.

He said the product mix would be similar.

“The two of them [Violet Crown and Regal DeVargas] are going to be in the same game,”

Bowman said. “Both are running multiplexes vying for the same tier of titles.”

He said Regal representatives had visited the Jean Cocteau recently.

Installing digital projection systems is fairly expensive, although bigger chains get deals based on volume. Bowman said it might cost about $50,000 for a smaller hall, and more for a larger one.

The Regal DeVargas, he pointed out, is one of the few theaters in the Regal circuit that is not digital. Most of the distributors are cutting off printing 35 mm films, he said.

Converting to digital, Serwitz said, can be done while the multiplex stays open. DeVargas’ six screens could be completed in a week, he said. Regal typically

replaces seats one auditorium at a time, and does the work midweek.

Serwitz said he hoped Regal would maintain its presence at DeVargas because the theater does a “reasonable business,” but he acknowledged the landscape is always changing, and the Railyard movie theater could be “a game changer at some point.” He said he saw the Violet Crown space in November, and “it looks to me like a winner if it comes to fruition.”

According to its website, Regal Entertainment Group operates the largest and most geographically diverse theater circuit in the U.S., consisting of 7,406 screens in 581 theaters in 42 states, along with Guam, Saipan, American Samoa and the District of Columbia.

Keller, a 3-year-old tabby, is a perfect example of a ‘special needs cat.’ He was rescued by volunteers with Felines and Friends New Mexico and currently lives at Teca Tu. COURTESY PHOTO

Big cat problem is manageable Making a difference is possible by starting small, thinking big

P

artial disclosure: We do not live with a cat. More disclosure: I would never disclose anything else. Unless you offer me money. In that case I’d offer up national secrets.

Anyway.

This column is about cats and one “special needs” cat in particular.

In the pet adoption world, “special needs cats” either have behavioral issues or medical problems that make them difficult to adopt.

These cats are absolutely adoptable, but they need a little more attention and care. Keller, a 3-year-old tabby, is a perfect example. Keller was found in the parking lot next to the Sanbusco Market Center. He was a stray who apparently tried to join a cat colony on Agua Fría Street but was chased off by the colony cats.

He was rescued by volunteers with Felines and Friends New Mexico and currently resides at Teca Tu — A Pawsworthy Pet Emporium located in the Sanbusco Market Center.

Keller was neutered, fed and brought back to good health.

However, upon examination he was found to have feline immunodeficiency virus.

FIV is similar to human immunodeficiency virus in that it attacks the immune system and makes the cat more susceptible to secondary infections.

FIV is spread primarily through cat-to-cat bite wounds.

FIV is specific only to cats.

It can’t be “caught” by humans and it is a manageable disease. Bobbi Heller, the executive director of Felines and Friends New Mexico, has cared for FIV-infected cats for

more than 20 years.

According to Heller, a FIV-infected cat needs quality food, observation to assure they don’t Hersch get secondWilson ary infecTales of Tails tions and regular vet checks.

With all that in place, they can live normal lives.

Keller, who apparently is now royalty at Teca Tu while he waits to be permanently adopted, is one cool cat. That is to say that he lords over all the dogs that come into the store and is often found on the counter helping with sales.

If you are interested, come on in and see him.

Great! Hopefully we’ve solved that problem.

Now you might be thinking, so what? How does adopting one cat solve the larger problem of unwanted cats? A recent study estimated that there are 50 million unwanted or feral cats like Keller. And the number is growing. It’s an exploding population — a true ecological crisis.

What about here in Santa Fe? Mary Martin, executive director of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society, recommends that you go at night, with a flashlight and visit the dumpsters along Second Street or on Cerrillos Road or Agua Fría.

Shine your light around the dumpsters and you will see dozens of pairs of eyes: the feral cats of Santa Fe. But how about right where you live?

Is there a cat colony close by?

Fifty million unwanted cats seems like an overwhelming

problem. A city and county full of unwanted cats is also more than you or I can cope with.

How about one cat colony of a few dozen cats?

That seems like a solvable problem.

Here is what I mean. Having a seemingly overwhelming problem doesn’t release us from our moral obligation to be part of the solution.

If you are a cat lover, and I know there are plenty of you out there, you need to ask yourself, “How can I help?”

Big problems are often fixed by breaking them down into manageable problems.

Heller tells a story about how she came to this realization.

When she was living in Los Angeles, she saw an older woman feeding and caring for a colony of cats near her home.

This was the first step in caring, but it also exacerbated the problem. Well-fed cats are going to breed.

Heller took it upon herself to get the cats in that colony neutered and spayed.

This, it seems to me, is the kernel of a solution.

Currently, according to Martin, there are 174 known cat colonies in just three of the Santa Fe ZIP codes.

These are managed colonies, that is to say, someone is feeding and watering the cats. Some of the “managers” are working with the shelter.

There are no doubt twice as many colonies in all of the city and the county.

Want to help?

Find a colony, trap, neuter and return the adult cats. Here is the kicker: The Santa Fe animal shelter will loan you the traps, will neu-

ter or spay, examine, vaccinate and chip the cats for free. Let me repeat that: They will pay for all of it.

They will also give you doorhangers to place on neighborhood homes explaining what you are doing.

Other folks are also involved.

A volunteer from Felines & Friends recently transported 49 cats from one colony in town to the shelter.

Take a big problem and break it down into manageable sizes.

It takes a community to do this, but we know there is a large community of cat lovers out there.

Final words. A story that has stuck with me all my life is from the naturalist, Loren Eiseley.

A man was walking along a beach. He noticed a younger man throwing objects into the sea.

When he caught up with the younger man he noticed that the beach was covered with thousands of starfish and the tide was going out.

The young man was throwing them back into the sea to save them.

The man spoke, “Young man, there are miles of beach and thousands of starfish. You can’t possibly make a difference.”

And the young man threw another starfish into the sea.

“I made a difference for that one.”

Let’s make a difference. One cat colony at a time. Oh yeah, and someone adopt Keller!

Funeral services and memorials DR. ADRIAN H. BODELSON

Dr. Adrian H. Bodelson, affectionately known as "Bo," a longtime Santa Fe physician who was dedicated to the well-being of countless patients, especially to the thousands of babies he delivered into this world, passed away peacefully at home on February 8, 2014. He was 90.

Growing up in the farming community of Dundee, Minnesota, where he was born to Pete and Nettie Bodelson on November 26, 1923, Bo gained a solid work ethic and a practical sensibility that he modeled throughout his life. He was determined and tireless in his pursuits, and Bo followed his interests throughout life with a passion that led him to the highest levels of excellence. With his only sister Ardee, the family moved to nearby Fulda where he distinguished himself not only as an outstanding student, but as a leader. Bo was an Eagle Scout, quarterback of his high school football team and ready for any opportunity for fun and adventure. He was a resident fresh out of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine when a dark-haired nurse caught his eye. After a short romance of just three dates with his beautiful new companion, Corinne Turgeon, he proposed with a twist of three options: forget him, write to him or come with him! Without hesitation, she chose the latter and their lifelong journey together began. Bo and Corinne were married in Edina, Minnesota on June 21, 1947. It was an inspiring and lasting union of over 67 years that was shared lovingly.

The Korean War marked their early married life and Dr. Bodelson proudly served as a Naval Flight Surgeon aboard the USS Carrier Bairoko. His love of flying led him from the ship’s hospital bay to observe from the flight deck whenever possible. Later, his private pilot’s license allowed him to soar on his own. He cherished the hours spent flying the skies over New Mexico, often scouting for the next place to hunt or fish. Landing his small plane on a remote stretch of New Mexico highway to visit friends and ride his beloved horses on the Esquibel Ranch, was one of countless joys and outdoor adventures that Bo shared with family and friends over many decades. From the lakes of Minnesota to Brazil to New Zealand and to Alaska, fishing was his joy throughout life. He especially treasured precious time with his large family. When not "on call" Dr. Bodelson loved spending weekends with his ten children fishing, camping and horseback riding. When all twelve packed in the family bus, summer road trips inevitably led to memorable beach discoveries in California, Florida and Mexico.

It was during medical school that Bo realized his true calling, focusing his efforts on the demands but also the marvel of obstetrics.

Adding to his confidence and skill in surgery was an uncommon compassion, rapport and concern for his patients and their families. Bo and Corinne moved in 1964 with their ten children from Boulder, Colorado to Santa Fe and he opened his OB/Gyn practice, joining the staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital where he tirelessly served for over 50 years. A show of hands of people who live in Santa Fe would reveal a startling number who were delivered by Dr. Bodelson and even more who were cared for by "Doc." From the old downtown St. Vincent’s Hospital where he delivered their last baby, to the doors of the new hospital carrying its first newborn patient, his professional dedication, high regard as a physician and his uncommon integrity has been woven into the fabric of the Santa Fe community for over half a century.

It is with great respect, pride and vibrant, unforgettable memories that he will forever be loved by his wife Corinne, their ten children and their families: Dan and Patty Bodelson (Danielle and Gabrielle); Nancy and Ken Tuerk (Melanie, Anya, Michael and Bo); Peggy and Otavio Silveira; Michael and Alice Bodelson (Jessie, Cole, Natalie and Will); Patricia and Charley Brewer (Caroline, Kelly and Patrick Soldow); Susan Kammerer (David, Corinne, Perry and Eric Fishback); David and Deborah Bodelson (Crockett, Caitlin and Ansel); Ann and Merritt Brown (Hallie, Olin, Sophie, Soren, Greta and the much-missed, Jensen); Mary and Lawrence Martinez (Lisa, Anne and Mark); Catherine and John Vargas (Jax and Adrian); and the littlest ones, great-grandchildren, Henry and Nathaniel. Bo was a lasting friend to many, including Peter Fishback, Freddie Soldow, Kathy Roberts and the late Mike Kammerer.The family is indebted to Martha, Alvaro, Ingrid, and Rica for their loving and thoughtful care.

Whether known as Dr. Bodelson, Bo, Doc, beloved Dad or Papa, his exceptional energy as a physician, and gift for making life an adventure of learning rich with experience to be shared by those he loved, will long be remembered. He was a lifelong learner filled with a passion for reading. Teaching was a natural extension he shared, whether at the hospital, playing poker or tying flies with grandkids. A private family memorial is planned with a gathering to celebrate his life to be announced at a later date. Gifts in memory of Dr. Bodelson should be directed to the special charity of your choosing or the Jensen Merritt Brown Endowment Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation.

TERESA REILLY Died peacefully in her sleep in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on February 7, 2014.

She was born Teresa Ruane on a small farm in County Mayo, Ireland, on January 15, 1920. Teresa attended Eskeragh National School about a mile from her home. In 1938, she immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area where two of her older sister’s lived. Teresa became a United States citizen in 1944 and later that year married Peter Reilly, who had emigrated from County Longford, Ireland. Teresa and Pete lived and raised their two sons, Gene and Kevin, in a flat in a house owned by her sister and brother-in-law in the Mission District of San Francisco until they were able to buy a small house in Daly City, California, a suburb near the ocean. Teresa worked for more than 20 years selling draperies for Macy’s in downtown San Francisco, and Pete drove a bus for the City of San Francisco. Pete died in 1990. Teresa was also preceded in death by her parents, brothers and sisters, her nephew Sean Ruane, and great-nephew Brian McElwee. Teresa moved to Santa Fe in March 1994. She is survived by her son Gene and his wife Rose, her son Kevin and his wife Mary McDonald, by her grandchildren Jeanne Cole (Jason), Michael Reilly, Suzanne Stumpf (Jonathan), Jason Reilly (Angela Chappus) and Peter Reilly (Austin York), by her greatgranddaughter Eliza Brooke Stumpf, and by nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews in the United States and Ireland. Teresa was an active member of Santa Maria de la Paz Catholic Community, where she had many wonderful and dear friends. She lived her last 3 years at Rosemont Assisted Living, now Pacifica Senior Living, where she was loved and well cared for. Visitation and rosary will be held at the Berardinelli Funeral Home on Luisa Street in Santa Fe at 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., respectively, on Friday, February 14. Funeral services will be held at Santa Maria de la Paz Catholic Community on College Drive at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, February 15, to be followed by a reception and lunch at Pacifica Senior Living at 2961Galisteo Road (off Rodeo Road).

COMMENTARY: MARGARET CARLSON

Hillary’s marriage goes up for grabs WASHINGTON ow responsible is a wife for the betrayal of her husband?

In the case of Hillary Clinton, the answer is, a lot, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Sen. Rand Paul.

They got delicious material to use in their effort from exchanges between Clinton and her best friend, Diane Blair.

Blair died at 61 in 2000. Her husband donated her papers to the University of Arkansas, where they were reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website.

The charge against Hillary is that she was an enabler, not a victim, of her husband’s extramarital affairs, a long string of which culminated in the White House encounters with Monica Lewinsky.

Recalling a 1998 conversation, Blair wrote: “HRC insists, no matter what people say, it was gross inappropriate behavior but it was consensual (was not a power relationship) and was not sex within real meaning.”

As engrossing as it is to get inside Hillary’s mind, to use Bill Clinton’s behavior against Hillary requires that you think she let the philandering happen, that she somehow deserved it (she’s often portrayed as cold and withholding), that she did nothing to stop it, blamed the other woman, and through it all, didn’t suffer.

Her first reaction about Monica was the one many of us would have: This can’t be true; surely, not in the Oval Office (or the adjoining study), surely not with an employee; surely not someone young enough to be his daughter. Then came the second thought: How do I protect Chelsea, calm the rabble hounding us on the front lawn night and day, keep our enemies from using it?

What she didn’t do was

T leave. But since when do we punish people for NOT breaking up their marriages? Aren’t Republicans the family values folks? And her instinct was to believe her husband above the women with whom he strayed. Who wouldn’t?

Still these remembrances from Blair show Hillary to be ready to attack women to defend her husband, guilty to all but her. She believed too long, defended too strenuously, and lined up with women’s groups who wouldn’t ordinarily be siding with a public official who treated women so badly.

The most damaging to her is that it wasn’t just aides such as Sidney Blumenthal who described Monica as a crazed spurned groupie as she stormed the Northwest gate, waiting in the pouring rain to be admitted. It is chilling to read Blair’s telling of how Hillary damned Lewinsky as a “narcissistic loony tune,” even after she knew the intern was telling the truth.

Even worse, when it wasn’t Hillary’s marriage imperiled and in the cool light of day, she takes after “whiny women” who were (rightly) accusing Democratic Sen. Bob Packwood of sexual aggression. Her reaction is knee-jerk, and she is looking out for the support in Congress for her health care effort, not the young girls Packwood went after.

This plays into the assessment of Clinton’s own pollsters that while Bill came across as slick, she came across much worse, as “too politically ambitious, too strong, and too ruthless.”

There’s a lot to read in Blair’s papers, aside from the R-rated. The inner thoughts of the Clintons are on display as they found themselves in the crucible of Washington, a foreign country that surprised them with its hostility. Ever since Bill Clinton “took office they’ve been going thru personal tragedy [the death of] Vince [Foster], her dad, his mom) and immediately all

the ugly forces started making up hateful things about them, pounding on them.”

As with most things Hillary, her behavior and the reaction of those who would defend her is as mixed as is she, a combination of Lady Macbeth and a Methodist Mother Teresa gathering up a village to save the world. There is a lot here to damn Hillary for as she combined wife, mother and first lady to deal with the perfidy of her husband with no privacy (she didn’t even have that with Blair) and a cracked, if not broken, heart.

Before Republicans go full hog on this tack they might recall two things. One is that Hillary’s poll numbers were in low single digits before Monica and but for Monica might not have risen enough for her to run for, and win, a Senate seat in New York.

The other is that sometimes the messenger gets tarred by the message.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Education of children deserves more resources

B

rave teachers have sacrificed their lives, while other unarmed heroes have selflessly prevented carnage while protecting our children. Every new gun massacre, plus perpetual NRA/ legislative obstruction to firearm reform, increases worries and vulnerability in students, parents and schools.

Consider the value of teachers to society. They dedicate their lives to passing on critical thinking, culture and knowledge. They impart survival skills, social, emotional and academic development.

The governor’s gloomy, condescending message: Teach to the test (I know best).

Leave behind professional and educational creativity. Save money and keep teachers’ incomes low. Discriminate with inequitable salaries. Ignore their societal importance.

When I started teaching, the New Mexico education budget was 52 percent out of the total state budget. Sadly, it is now 43 percent. Educators have crowded classes full of malleable and important minds and bodies. Why skimp investing in our greatest asset: the children — our future? Why not respect and acknowledge the teachers who guide them?

Engaging topics Kudos should go to The New Mexican editorial page editor and the writers or writer of recent editorials on cultural

diversity (Feb. 5), guns in the Roundhouse (Feb. 7) and the abortion rate (Feb. 10).

The negative reactions on social media to the singing of “America the Beautiful” in multiple languages was both alarming and despicable. A respect for diversity is what makes this country great. Nothing could be more ridiculous on its face than a sign in the state Capitol building that bans chewing gum while allowing concealed and unconcealed weapons in a building where emotions run high. It is a tragic disaster waiting to happen. And the pending disaster has nothing to do with chewing gum. Finally, if one is truly prolife, a reduction in the abortion rate is the proper goal. And rational contraception is the most effective means toward that end.

A misused term While I agree on contraception being a good common ground for pro-choice and anti-choice people, I must strongly disagree with the very misleading and pervasive use of “pro-life” for the anti-choice people. Imagine politicians campaigning on an anti-crime platform because they want to jail drunken drivers — but don’t want burglars, arsonists, kidnappers, murderers or serial rapists jailed or even arrested. They would be laughed out of court. Yet, if you look at uncontroversial major causes of death — poverty, malnutrition, disease, lack of health care, wars and environmental disasters — you will find that the pro-choice people have a much better pro-life record than the antichoice people, who are mostly pathetic on these true-life issues.

he flow of outside money into Santa Fe’s city election could destroy the voter-approved public financing of elections. That must not happen.

This election cycle, participating groups and their dollars — more than $20,000 spent so far — represent the kinds of progressive causes that much of Santa Fe supports.

It’s easy for liberals to defend their right to participate. It is, indeed, legal. What’s more, these groups are backing a progressive agenda. What’s not to like?

Imagine a different election four years from now. Perhaps the charismatic candidate with outside backing is a libertarian-leaning business owner. Now, dollars flowing in are coming from oil and gas groups who want support for fracking near the city limits, or who believe in fewer government services and a minimum wage that doesn’t exceed the federal standard. These groups are supporting a candidate who will slash the gross receipts tax, cut jobs at the city and reduce neighborhood protections — all in the name of commonsense reform and removing government from the lives of citizens. The groups that would cry “foul” the loudest, sadly, either are not speaking out to condemn what is happening right now in the mayor’s race or are participating themselves.

We can’t have it both ways.

Either Santa Fe sticks to public financing or it opens up the municipal election process to all sorts of outside influences, including groups that don’t share the city’s core value of government being a force for good in the lives of residents.

Mayoral candidate Javier Gonzales is in a tough spot.

He is benefiting from outside money, although he has said he doesn’t need or want the help. He has condemned their participation. Yet, Gonzales cannot call the groups directly because that would violate that portion of the Supreme Court ruling that allows outside money in the first place.

There can be no coordination between candidate and group. His opponents, understandably, believe Gonzales is trying to have it both ways. He denounces the political action committees and special interest groups that are spending money while at the same time, his campaign benefits. Meanwhile, his opponents, Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas, are spending only the dollars allowed them under the city’s campaign financing ordinance. That could change, of course. The election is not until March 4. But unless they get PAC assistance, their campaigns are at a disadvantage.

We urge these PACs, special interest groups, unionspaying-their-members to canvass, whatever they are calling themselves, to stop. Just stop.

Public financing allows candidates to get out and meet the voters without the specter of finances always floating over the conversation. The vote from an elderly grandma down the street counts just as much as the vote cast by the bank president or the street performer from the Plaza.

Freedom from having to raise money has forced all three candidates to meet one-on-one with thousands of voters — whether at house parties, forums or Dimas’ Bagel-with-Bill sessions on Saturday. In those meetings, candidates don’t once have to ask for money. The new system works — or it will, if these groups will just get out of the way.

Santa Fe voted with its pocket book to publicly finance campaigns. It was a smart, progressive vote, one designed to take money and special interests out of the electoral equation. Groups that are taking advantage of a bad Supreme Court decision should be ashamed of themselves.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 13, 1989: If your child comes home complaining about the schoolyard bully, maybe you could swap stories with state Sen. Les Houston. Houston is a Bernalillo Republican who doesn’t like the way teacher unions throw their weight around when school issues come up for votes in the Roundhouse. “Teacher unions are the biggest bullies in the history of New Mexico politics,” Houston groused from the Senate floor. He suggested some lawmakers are scared to death to vote against the unions. Up in the gallery, Don Whatley of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation felt picked on. “I just wish we had the power and balance that Sen. Houston thinks we have,” Whatley said. “Our folks back home feel like we’re not only not bullies but that we’ve been getting the short end of the stick.”

Jim suffered broken bones and a head trauma and spent time in a rehab facility. He still hasn’t fully recovered and is mostly confined to bed.

Jim has no close family. He abandoned his wife 38 years ago, and his daughter met him for the first time in October. She is his next of kin, and when Jim was in a coma, she had to make some tough decisions about his care. She is not able to be involved as much now because she lives far away. I’m in touch with her often, so she is aware of her father’s condition and says he is capable of making informed decisions. The police concur.

Jim is alone, depressed and alcoholic. I check on him daily. He’s promised not to kill himself, but he has given up on living. He has very little energy and barely eats despite the fact that food is provided. He just wants to lie in bed, smoke and drink vodka. And that’s my problem.

I have been meeting his requests for alcohol, but I feel guilty about it. I don’t want to contribute to his death by facilitating his drinking, but I fear that depriving him only condemns him to an even more protracted demise. Jim refuses to be hospitalized or return to rehab. He wants to die at home. If Jim is to recover, he needs to stop drinking, eat well and exercise, and it would be such a long and arduous road that he does not believe he can do it. Am I right to make him comfortable? Is this compassion or wrongdoing? — His Friend Dear Friend: We’re going to side with compassion, but know what you are getting into.

She never inquires whether I’m OK. There is never a sincere two-sided conversation. Somehow, everything reverts back to her and her need for attention. She does not get along with her in-laws and refuses to visit them. My father-in-law sees his side of the family on his own.

Gold enough for two

First such tie in 78 years of Alpine skiing

By Will Webber

First place is going to have to wait.

Leading Boise State by a dozen points in the second half on Wednesday night, The Boise St. 71 University of New UNM 70 Mexico men’s basketball team lost its grasp on a sure-fire win — and a share of the Mountain West Conference lead to go with it.

Lobos guard Hugh Greenwood was off the mark on a mid-range jumper with just two seconds left, preserving the Broncos’ 71-70 win at Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho.

UNM (18-5, 9-2) was gunning for a share of the MWC lead following fifth-ranked San Diego State’s loss on Tuesday at Wyoming. Instead, the Lobos find themselves back where they started — a game out with just seven dates left on the regular season schedule.

New Mexico returns home to play Nevada in The Pit on Saturday afternoon.

“It’s late in the year where that’s what matters,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal of the missed chance to tie SDSU for first place. “We just let one slip away here and we gotta bounce back and play well on Saturday.”

RASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Slovenia’s Tina Maze and Switzerland’s Dominique Gisin took different paths on an Olympic downhill filled with flats and turns, jumps and bumps, across slender trees’ shadows, along snow that was icy at the top, soft at the bottom.

Any variable could have made the slightest difference over the more than 1½ miles. Gisin, the eighth woman down the Rosa Khutor course, was good enough early and fantastic at the end. A half-hour later, starting 20th, Maze followed a tighter line, faster than Gisin most of the way, until slowed by a mistake shortly before the final leap.

Add it all up, and they were each other’s equal Wednesday. Exactly, right down to the hundredth of a second. Gisin finished in 1 minute, 41.57 seconds. Maze finished in 1 minute, 41.57 seconds. A tie. And so two gold medals were awarded, the first time that’s happened in 78 years of Olympic Alpine skiing.

“Maybe just one finger, maybe just a hand — it can change a color of a medal,” Maze said.

In a field missing injured defending champion Lindsey Vonn, Gisin’s Swiss teammate Lara Gut got the bronze, 0.10 seconds back.

During the flower ceremony, Maze and Gisin held hands while they climbed together to the top step of the podium, a scene Maze described as “two happy faces.”

Quite a contrast from Monday’s super-combined, when Maze wore a stern expression after finishing fourth, merely a tenth of a second slower than bronze medalist Julia Mancuso of the United States.

“It’s just that lower of a tuck or that cleaner of a line that makes you that much faster,” said American Laurenne Ross, who finished 11th Wednesday.

NEW YORK — To Derek Jeter, it was just another day to get ready for spring training.

On a minor league field at the New York Yankees’ complex in Florida, he took batting practice, fielded grounders and chatted with teammates. And then he drove away in his Mercedes, offering no hint that the countdown to his retirement had already begun.

Hours later, Jeter alerted the sports world: This will be his final season.

A staple for so long in the Yankees’ lineup, Jeter missed the first 91 games last year. He felt pain in his right quadriceps when he returned July 11 and again went on the disabled list.

Jeter came back for three games but strained his right calf. In early September, he was done for the year.

The Yankees will open the 2014 regular season April 1 in Houston. Their final game is scheduled to be at Fenway Park, against the longtime rival Boston Red Sox. Rivera announced a year in advance that he would retire, and was saluted everywhere he played last season. Jeter is sure to get a similar farewell tour.

“I wish everybody does it like that,” Rivera told ESPN radio. “I think that would be the right thing for him to do.”

Jeter wrote that he wants to pursue business and other interests “in addition to focusing more on my personal life and starting a family of my own.”

Occasionally short SFHS beats Los Alamos The New Mexican

The Santa Fe High girls basketball team has two versions of itself that have developed during District 2AAAA play: The one that plays SFHS 48 with the “Big Three,” and the one what plays Los Alamos 40 without one — or two — of them.

The Demonettes (22-2 overall, 4-1 2AAAA) had to navigate through the first half with Jackie Martinez and Kayla Herrera on the bench in foul trouble. But when they came back on the court, Santa Fe High held Los Alamos to 16 second-half points as it walked away with a 48-40 win in Griffith Gymnasium on Wednesday.

Without Martinez and Herrera, Santa Fe High found itself down 24-21 at the half.

“We were subbing them on defense, so we had to be real careful,” said Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez.

The good news was the third member of the group — Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage — held the team together with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

Los Alamos (10-13, 2-4) scored just two points for most of the third quarter, and the Demonettes took control with an 18-8

scoring advantage to fashion a 39-32 lead.

Herrera managed 12 points despite the foul trouble in a supporting role. Los Alamos had Kianna Zerr score 11 points and McKenzie Logan added 10.

Española VallEy 90, Capital 43 All 12 active players on the Lady Sundevils’ roster scored in a 2AAAA game in Edward Medina Gymnasium.

Española (18-5, 5-1) put up 50 points on the Lady Jaguars (1-20, 0-5) in the first half, but after allowing Capital to only score six points in each of the first two quarters, head coach Ray Romero was more excited about his team’s defense.

“What I’m most impressed with is the 12 points we allowed in the first half,” Romero said. “Our defensive effort was really good tonight.”

Ashlynn Trujillo and Kayla Romero each had 14 points to lead the Lady Sundevils while Kaitlyn Romero added 11 and Kayla Salazar 10.

Gabby Ortiz scored 16 points to lead the Lady Jaguars.

Abran Trujillo led the Tigers with 22 points, while Larry Martinez added 10.

Pojoaque (11-13, 2-4) had a quartet of double-digit scorers, led by Matthew Herrera’s 16 points. John Ainsworth added 13, while Kevin Herrera and Anthony Rodriguez each had 11.

MCCurdy 77, Coronado 32 The Bobcats scored at least 21 points in each of the first three quarters in their 4A home rout of the Leopards in Memorial Gymnasium.

While McCurdy (14-8, 2-0) outscored Coronado 21-9 in the first quarter, Bobcat head coach Ruben Archuleta wasn’t impressed with the pace his team set in the opening minutes of the game.

“We started off kind of bad,” Archuleta said. “We were a little sluggish, but then we came out strong in the third quarter.”

Eighth grader Isaiah Vigil scored 18 points to lead the Bobcats, while senior Dennis Padilla contributed 17. Jason Madrid had 12 points to lead Coronado (4-17, 0-4).

It certainly didn’t help that UNM’s free throw shooters weren’t as reliable as they normally are down the stretch. Williams and Greenwood each missed a pair in the closing minutes, keeping Boise State alive.

“We missed some down the end that cost us,” Neal said.

Williams had 22 points to lead the Lobos while Bairstow had 20. Alex Kirk had 13 points and a team-high nine rebounds.

More importantly, he finally got in tune with his outside jumper. He hit his first 3-point attempt since the Dec. 7 win over Cincinnati.

Deshawn Delaney had nine points after missing most of the last week of practice with an injured toe.

Neal said he was happy with the way his team played, but said the loss would not have any lingering affects on the remainder of the season.

“My guys, they’ll bounce back,” he said.

“They’re a veteran group.”

Mora: Rangerettes finally won state in 1998 Continued from Page B-1 Serna was killed along with OSU head coach Kurt Budke when the plane they were riding in crashed on Nov. 18, 2011, in Perry County, Ark. Serna is from Guadalupita and grew up in Mora, but she graduated from Albuquerque Eldorado, helping the Lady Eagles win 46 straight games her final two years in high school. The team was coached at the time by Don Flanagan.

Serna later played in college Central Arizona College, Trinity Valley Community College, then the University of Houston.

Chavez spearheaded a movement to create the scholarship in Serna’s name. Part of the fundraising has led to his interest in honoring the Mora championship teams that never were.

“You see the banners in gyms, the banners that celebrate the state winners,” Chavez says. “What our girls teams did back then; they were some of the best teams the school has ever had but there’s nothing there to remind you of them.

That’s what we’re aiming to do here. We want those teams remembered.”

The committee that oversees the Serna fund went to work, raising the money to

pay for banners that honor those teams.

The unveiling will be Saturday night when Santa Fe Preparatory pays a visit to Mora.

A number of the top players from those past teams, including Anita Vigil and Josephine Salcido, will be on hand, all of whom were coached by Albert Martinez.

Vigil went on to a stellar career at Abilene Christian University, finishing with 1,795 career points and later being inducted into the ASU hall of fame.

Martinez is one of the top coaches in Mora’s history. He led the Rangerettes to their first finals appearance in 1985. Unfortunately, the ’80s where the time of one of the greatest dynasties the state has ever seen with girls basketball. While Flanagan was doing his thing in the state’s biggest classification at Eldorado, Miles Watters was running roughshod in AA with Clayton. The Lady Yellowjackets won eight straight state titles between 1983 and 1990.

The ’85 squad finished 26-1, beating Mora 73-48 in the finals.

The schools met in back to back years beginning in 1987, both of which went to Clayton by double digits.

Things didn’t improve in 1991 when Clayton’s run finally ended. The Ranger-

ettes lost to Navajo Academy, then again the following year to undefeated Animas.

The five teams averaged 24.2 wins per season, never losing more than six times in any year.

Chavez and his committee paid approximately $400 per banner, making sure that each was simple in design yet worthy of earning a place inside Mora’s gym.

“You don’t want some of the best years the girls team has ever had not going noticed,” Chavez says. “It’s not fair to those girls and it’s not fair to what coach Martinez was able to do. He just did it during all those great years that Clayton had. It’s like all the other teams Eldorado beat when they were so good.”

It wasn’t until 1998 that Mora finally won a blue trophy, beating Navajo Prep in the championship game — the same year the Mora boys also won state.

The Rangerettes coach that year was Mark Cassidy, the head coach this season in his second go-round with the school.

His team this year is in step with all those great teams of the past.

“I like banners for state championship teams, but I like the idea,” he said. “I like what they’re doing.”

Farrington edges Bright ‘Cowgirl’ from Idaho takes women’s halfpipe gold

By Eddie Pells

The Associated Press

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — It was one of those Olympic-style pauses. Two minutes. Three minutes. To the four women sitting on the bench at the bottom of the halfpipe, it felt even longer.

In the end, the cowgirl won the gold.

Kaitlyn Farrington, the 24-year-old from Idaho whose parents sold off their cattle to bankroll her career, sparked the second upset on the halfpipe in two nights. She smoothed out a near-flawless run Wednesday to edge Aussie Torah Bright and take down the American favorite, Kelly Clark.

“I’m sure they do not miss those cows today,” Farrington said of her folks.

The running joke in her family comes when her parents tell her to “Cowgirl Up,” and over a long day that included six runs — two each in qualifying, semifinals and finals — Farrington did just that.

The winning run earned a score of 91.75. It included one of the tougher combinations in the sport — a double-twisting jump with a near-blind landing, followed by a 2½-spin jump. It closed with a twisting, headover-heels flip at the bottom.

Superb, though certainly beatable by three of the women still at the top for Run 2, all of whom had Olympic gold medals back at home.

Hannah Teter, the 2006 champion who wound up fourth, couldn’t do it. Neither could Bright, who ended up .25 points from her second straight gold, but viewed this as nothing less than a victory considering she’s competing in three events — slopestyle, halfpipe and,

next, snowboardcross.

Then came Clark. She’s been the most consistent, best-prepared rider over the past four years, a favorite to win another gold 12 years after she burst onto the scene with her first Olympic title in Salt Lake City.

But her evening went down in much the same manner as Shaun White’s did 24 hours earlier.

Like White, Clark had a first run that included a nasty fall; her board careened off the lip of the pipe, bending hard when it hit, then sending her free-falling to her back, 20 feet below.

“I work hard in the offseason to be able to get up from that,”

Clark said.

She did. But, also like White, she had a second run that included a mistake on her signature trick. White couldn’t land the four-rotation “Yolo” jump. Clark couldn’t quite master a 1080-degree spin that only she attempts. Her spin really went about 1040 degrees, and she traveled too far down the halfpipe while doing it.

And so, the real drama came while the judges added things up, knowing they had three Olympic gold medalists sitting on that bench — and deciding if they should make it four.

Farrington, a natural-born dancer, sat there and shook her

shoulders. Bright patted her good friend Clark on the thigh.

Teter, who also won silver in 2010 and would’ve completed a full set with a bronze, sort of knew where things were going to end up.

“I love it when they play it out like that,” she said. “I was hoping they wouldn’t give it to her.

But whatever. She did a 1080.

That’s why they gave it to her.”

The bronze, that is.

Clark insisted she wasn’t disappointed. This bronze goes with the one she took in Vancouver under very similar circumstances — falling on the first run, making it through less than perfectly on the second.

“I had a less-than-ideal practice. I fell every run,” she said, a nod to a frequently changing halfpipe that nobody really mastered. “Not just falls, but pretty epic falls. To come back, it was a huge accomplishment to get on the podium today.”

Farrington had at least one thing in common with the men’s winner, Iouri Podladtchikov: Neither rider made it straight to the final by finishing in the top three during the qualifying round. That meant both had to compete in semifinals. That gave them both two extra chances to feel the changing bumps on the halfpipe.

“I told Kelly yesterday that I planned on riding all day,” Farrington said. “So, the semis were like extra practice for me.

I kind of felt more comfortable in the pipe.”

Still, she conceded, “I don’t think I knew I was going to come here and get a gold medal.

I still don’t really believe it.”

It provided a much-needed dose of good news for the Americans, who came into the Sochi Games having won 14 of the 24 halfpipe medals in Olympic history but went a shocking 0 for 3 in the men’s contest. Going 2 for 3 in the women’s event was more like it — even if the order might have turned some heads.

Volosozhar and Trankov win pairs gold

By Rachel Cohen

The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — Maxim Trankov hopes young figure skaters all over Russia will take inspiration from what he and Tatiana Volosozhar accomplished at the Olympics.

The two restored the country to the pinnacle of pairs Wednesday, and their teammates made it almost total domination.

Volosozhar and Trankov won gold, while Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov took silver.

“I think tonight all of the country will celebrate this beautiful victory,” Trankov said.

Russia or the Soviet Union had won gold in 12 straight Olympics in pairs before the streak ended four years ago, when the Russians failed to take home any medal in the event. In the stands for both days of the competition in Sochi was the pair who started it all: Ludmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov, the Olympic champions in 1964 and ’68.

Trankov and Volosozhar rose to the top of the sport at the perfect time, winning the 2013 world championship. A new generation of Russian figure skating hopefuls will now look up to the two pairs who stood atop the podium Wednesday.

Volosozhar and Trankov scored 152.69 points to finish with 236.86, 18.18 ahead of their teammates. Stolbova and Klimov had a near-flawless free skate to move up from third.

Four-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany had to settle for bronze for the second straight Olympics.

Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia react after competing in the pairs free skate figure skating competition Wednesday in Sochi, Russia.

VADIM GHIRDA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Skating to “Jesus Christ Superstar,” Volosozhar and Trankov had a few small bobbles. But with a lead after a stellar short program and the difficulty of their elements, they knew when they finished without any big mistakes that gold was in their grasp.

As Russian flags waved throughout the stands, Trankov slid on his knees across the ice like a soccer player celebrating a goal, and Volosozhar buried her face in her hands, the tears flowing.

“To win it here is more special than anything,” Trankov said. “But there was pressure. We were nervous, very nervous.

It was huge for us to skate in front of this audience in our country, but it was hard, and to do this makes us very happy now.”

The two Russian pairs also won gold in the new team event. Trankov and Volosozhar become the first figure skaters

to take home two golds from one Olympics.

Stolbova and Klimov handled the team free skate for Russia on Saturday and looked sharp, declaring themselves medal contenders. They were even better Wednesday to “The Addams Family” in the night’s most captivating performance.

The music is hauntingly beautiful, though it does include a brief snippet of that famous TV theme song. At the end of the program, when Stolbova must be exhausted, they do a throw triple salchow, which she still managed to land effortlessly.

“Last year we were not at the world championships and we didn’t believe or even hope that we would be at the Olympics,” Klimov said through a translator.

“We didn’t ever think of medals.”

The Germans finished nearly three points behind Stolbova and Klimov after Szolkowy fell on a jump in the free skate for the second straight Olympics. He tumbled to the ice on a triple toe loop on their first side-by-side sequence Wednesday.

“It’s two steps away from the gold medal,” he said. “That’s very far away for us.”

Pang Qing and Tong Jian, the 2010 silver medalists, were fourth. Tong said this was probably their final competition.

Four years ago, the U.S. had its worst showing ever in pairs with a 10th- and 13thplace finish. The outcome in the standings was only slightly better this time: two-time national champions Marissa Castelli of Rhode Island and Simon Shnapir of Massachusetts took ninth, while Felicia Zhang of New Jersey and Nathan Bartholomay of Pennsylvania moved up to 12th from 14th after the short program.

Canada beats U.S. 3-2 in Olympic women’s hockey

By Jimmy Golen

The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The puck trickled under Jesse Vetter’s pads and over the goal line, and then the whistle blew.

Or was it the other way around?

The Canadian women’s hockey team beat the United States 3-2 on Wednesday in a tense preview of the expected gold medal match, taking the lead on Hayley Wickenheiser’s controversial thirdperiod goal. Meghan Agosta scored in the second period to tie the game 1-1, and then Canada added the go-ahead goal 93 seconds later on a shot that U.S. goalie Jesse Vetter seemed to have stopped, drawing a whistle from referee Anna Eskola of Finland.

But the puck slid through Vetter’s pads and over the goal line. A video — and presumably audio — review confirmed the puck went into the net before the whistle.

“You celebrate when you see the puck cross the line,” said Wickenheiser, who is participating in her fifth Winter Games. “It doesn’t matter how.”

But Vetter said she thought the whistle had blown before the puck came loose. American coach Katey Stone was even more sure of it.

“I did hear a whistle blow before the puck went in,” she said. “But, more importantly, I said to our players, ‘Regardless of what happens, let’s be ready.’ ” They weren’t.

The Americans allowed Meghan Agosta to break into the zone by herself and beat Vetter with just over five minutes remaining — the second goal of the game for the MVP of the 2010 Olympics — giving Canada a 3-1 lead. The U.S. pulled the goalie and cut the deficit to one on Anne Schleper’s goal with 65 seconds left, but even with a power play that gave them a 6-on-4 advantage they couldn’t tie it.

It was the Canadians’ third consecutive Olympic victory over the U.S., including the gold medal games in Vancouver and Salt Lake. But it was their first victory over the Americans for coach Kevin Dineen, who took over the team in December after a career in which he played for Hartford and Columbus and saw rivalries like the Red Sox and Yankees and MichiganOhio State up close.

“I think this one is the real deal,” he said. “You always say, ‘Oh, they don’t like each

Maze was even in a three-way tie for first in a 2002 World Cup giant slalom. And get this: The first of Gisin’s three World Cup victories came via a tie with Swedish star Anja Paerson in 2009.

That was the last time first place was shared in a top-level women’s downhill.

other.’ I don’t think that. I think there’s a mutual respect there. Sometimes to be really good, you have to have a foil.”

Finland’s Jenni Hiirikoski scored her second goal of the game with 2:22 left in overtime to help the 2010 bronze medalists escape with a 4-3 victory over Switzerland earlier Wednesday. The Finns earned the No. 3 seed in the Olympic playoffs, and they will play the loser of the round-robin finale between Russia and Sweden, with the other facing Switzerland.

“It’s getting to be the fun part now,” said Michelle Karvinen, who also scored twice for Finland. “I’ve been looking forward to getting to the real part of the tournament.”

Hilary Knight also scored and Vetter stopped 28 shots for the United States, which also had secured a spot in the semis already. Charline Labonte made 25 saves for Canada, which had already earned a bye into the semifinals and now will take the No. 1 seed into the playoffs.

If they both win, they would meet again in the final.

“There’s always plenty on the line” against the Americans, Wickenheiser said.

“Whether there’s a gold medal or not, it feels like a gold-medal game.”

It’s the fifth time the teams have met in the Olympics, but the first since women’s hockey was added to the Winter Games in 1998 that they have played in the preliminary round. The Americans beat Canada twice that year — including the gold medal game — but it’s been Canada ever since, at least in the Olympics.

In addition to leading their southern neighbors 3-1 in Olympic gold medals, Canada has 10 world championships to five for the United States.

(No other country has won even one.)

The Americans have won five of the last seven, though, including last year’s in Ottawa. In a pre-Olympic tuneup tour, the Canadians won three straight but then lost four in a row in the turmoil following coach Dan Church’s surprise December resignation; he was replaced Dineen.

Through all of the winning and losing streaks, the teams have remained equal. And that’s the way they played it for the first 37 minutes, with the goalies withstanding rush after rush to keep their shutouts intact.

Because she was one of the first skiers, Gisin sat in the leader’s box for what must have seemed like forever, waiting as others got their chance.

OUTDOORS Purgatory in Durango a worthwhile weekend trip

Discouraging drought

T

he land of prodigious powder lies just north of the New Mexico line in the mighty San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. The San Juans have gotten exceptional snowfall this winter and last weekend, and I was fortunate to get to sample the goods at Purgatory, the skiing operation of Durango Mountain Resort.

Purgatory is a terrific regional resort, though it’s often overshadowed by hip Telluride, the steeps of Silverton and the deeps of Wolf Creek. But as my skiing buddy Chris Spier and I rediscovered, Daniel Purgatory has a great Gibson combination of terrain, Snow Trax lack of crowds, a good lift system and dependable snow. And, located just 21 miles north of the charming town of Durango, it also offers you a chance to hang out in this lively locale with its wide range of places to eat and sleep, live music venues, art galleries and craft breweries.

We began our day on the frontside slopes that were first created in Purg’s early years, including Hades and Styx — two of the steeper bump runs you will find anywhere. They dive down through stands of aspen, which have been thinned to allow tree skiing — one of the few regional areas where you can ski among these beautiful trees.

We worked our way across the wide face and Purg’s stair-step terrain over the course of the morning. Spier, on a snowboard, found the occasional flats and traverses a bit tiring — one of the mountain’s few negatives — but luckily I was usually there to whiplash him along by extending a ski pole to him as I passed by.

After a few runs on the old-school double chair, Chair 5, we had a great lunch and bloody marys at the on-slope Backside Bistro, then headed out again into the flurries to what is considered the resort’s best advanced terrain — the runs and glades off the Legend’s chair.

Here we found plenty of pow stashes in the trees of Paul’s Park and even under the chair on Backburn’s Bash. With a steep top section, similar to Al’s Run at Taos, the Legend’s area holds some of the mountain’s most challenging pitches.

We were headed to the far western edge of the resort and the hidden, gladed runs of McCormack’s Maze, but the day ran out — and our legs — and we began the long traverse back to the base.

If it’s been several years since you were last here, perhaps the biggest news is the changes that have occurred in the base area. The old watering hole, Purgy’s, was torn down, a six-pack chair was installed, and a new major complex of buildings was erected that includes a new Purgy’s, an outdoor pool, accommodations and retail shops. This created a nice plaza fronting the older buildings like the Kendall and Eolus condos. A zipline was also erected here that provides extra thrills for those so inclined. It operates winter and summer.

On the mountain, which encompasses 1,350 skiable acres and a vertical drop of 2,029 feet, there are five terrain parks for riders of all ability levels. It averages 240 inches of snow and currently has a 57-inch base.

If that is not enough, the resort also offers daily snowshoe outings and guided night excursions, snowmobile and horsedrawn sleigh rides, a tubing hill, snowbiking and a complete Nordic center. The latter has 18 kilometers of groomed trails, plus instruction programs, rentals and a warming hut.

Dry winter drives down ski business, takes its toll on snow lovers

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

T

here is no doubt that the recent drought has taken its toll on New Mexicans, especially for those who make a living from the snow in the wintertime.

On Jan. 12, Pajarito Mountain Ski Area suspended operations because of lack of snowfall.

The conditions on the mountain were so bad that the Los Alamos Ski Club, which owns the resort, is considering transferring all of its assets to Los Alamos County.

In the same month, Dan McCarthy, owner of Santa Fe Mountain Sports, announced that he will be closing the shop in early April after 18 years of being in business. McCarthy, who made a living selling high-end outdoor gear to serious people, said he believes climate change is the biggest reason for the drought in recent years.

Others may not have closed up shop because of the recent drought, but other businesses are taking a hit too.

Jason Ackerson, who owns the Sled Shed in Red River, took a big hit in January.

The Sled Shed offers guided snowmobile tours around Red River. Normally, Ackerson and his crew start the tours from the business’s location, but because of the recent drought, Ackerson has to take people to the snow before even beginning the tour.

“It takes an hour to get to where the snow is,” Ackerson said. “Normally, we start right from town. The expenses are really high right now.”

The lack of snow isn’t just taking its toll on local businesses, but also on people who regularly play in the snow.

Evan Adkins, a 25-year-old who grew up in Angel Fire but now resides in Albuquerque, used to go snowboarding all around Northern New Mexico for 100-plus days a season.

He used to compete in local and national snowboarding competitions, his latest being an event in Maine last year. This year, he only made one trip in the Land of Enchantment.

If you go Durango is an easy four-hour drive from Santa Fe via Bernalillo, Cuba and Aztec on divided highway U.S. 550.

The town has a large array of inexpensive motels, as well as such storied properties as the Victorian-era Strater Hotel and the General Palmer.

An outstanding option is the boutique Rochester Hotel, an older lodging right downtown that was beautifully refurbished and restored several years ago with a bar and breakfast room. Another town draw is the winter excursions of the famous Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

There also are numerous condominiums and hotel options at the ski area itself, but nightlife and dining there are very limited.

A skier finishes his run Jan. 31 down the Sunnyside run at Ski Santa Fe as grass peeks through the snow. The region’s ski business has taken a hit due to the recent drought.

“I went to Angel Fire once this season, and I’m not going back,” Adkins said. “The drought is really affecting things. It’s getting drier and drier.

Now you have to wait for spring. The only month where you can get good snow is like February.

January used to be prime season.”

January might have been one of the better months to hit the slopes in past years, but these days, the first month of the year usually causes headaches for people who rely on the snow.

“January is always a slow month for business,” Ackerson said. “We usually deal with families, so they need a school vacation to come out.”

But while January usually means dry conditions and children going back to school, February and March usually see a boom in business.

“January is typically dry, and there is more snow in February and March,” said Ben Abruzzo, the Ski Santa Fe mountain manager.

While places like Pajarito Mountain Ski Area have had to temporarily close because of the lack of snow, Abruzzo said Ski Santa Fe is 95 percent open.

Abruzzo says conditions on the mountain are

good for skiing and snowboarding, but some people might not see it that way. That has put a dent in the number of people hitting the slopes.

“Skiing is great. The drought is definitely not an issue for us,” Abruzzo said. “Customers were surprised with how good the skiing was. There is this perception that it’s not good. People look at the ski reports and see that it hasn’t snowed recently.”

Abruzzo claims that the drought has not taken a toll on the skiing conditions, but he admits that things have been a little dry in recent years. He also says this year feels a little drier than the past few years.

“This is a little more extreme,” Abruzzo said about the dry conditions. “But usually we get great snow in February and March.”

The fact that Ski Santa Fe is mostly open looks like a good thing, but that may not necessarily be the case.

“Ninety-five percent open doesn’t mean the

Trip: Crested Butte Drought: Some still gets 7 feet in 2 weeks hopeful for snowfall Continued from Page B-5

Snowpack is back Meanwhile, around the region the snow has returned, and in some cases, in a big way — and with more in the forecast or falling as this is written.

Snowbanks are over the first-floor windows, and walkways are like tunnels in Crested Butte, which has picked up almost 7 feet in the past two weeks. Settled snow depth is 84 inches. Telluride picked up 23 inches and has a 68-inch base, while Wolf Creek is maintaining its 100-inch-plus base. Monarch picked up a foot a day for four days, its base passing the century mark.

Taos Ski Valley picked up only 8 inches and has a 43-inch base. It hosts the Helly Hansen Big Mountain Battle on Saturday, which requires two-person teams to follow a

multi-leg course around the mountain set by the patrol.

The top team takes home $2,000 worth of Helly Hansen gear and gains entry into the final “Battle of the Bowls” in Aspen-Snowmass. The event is followed by a DJ competition in the Martini Tree Bar. Sandia Peak has a 23-inch base and will be open this weekend and Monday (Presidents Day).

Angel Fire held its wild and wacky shovel races last weekend, where competitors hit high speeds while sitting on an aluminum plate with a large handle sticking out between their legs.

Taking the men’s trophy was Justin Gonzales of Angel Fire, who clocked more than 70 mph. The female trophy went to Poloma Gonzalez of Black Lake.

I have a Chrysler 300M with a stuck driver ’s window. The mechanical function is f ine – when it works, it works f ine. But heat seems to glue the window closed: When it’s hot out, it sticks to the plastic liner and won’t go down

until the temperature drops. I live in Florida, so the temperature doesn’t drop very often! Is there a g rease, lubricant or cleaner I can use to f ix this? I need that window to function. Help. – BJ TOM: Have you considered a hammer, BJ? RAY: It’s not entirely clear to me that it’s sticking, BJ. You might assume it’s “getting stuck” in the up position. But the window motor could be dying.

TOM: It’s not unusual for a window motor to fail intermittently when it’s on the way out.

RAY: Unlike my brother, who tries to be consistent by failing all the time.

TOM: Your window switch, or window relay, also could be failing in extreme heat -- remember, it’s a lot

hotter inside a parked car than it is outside.

And when do you want to open the window?

When you sit down in a hot car, and it’s 1 50 deg rees inside, and you sear your thighs on the “300M” logos on the seat cushions.

RAY: So the f irst question for you is: Can you hear or feel the motor trying to work when the window is stuck? When you hit the window switch, is the motor straining to lower the glass?

TOM: If it is, then the switch and the motor are f ine and the window is, indeed, stuck somehow.

RAY: In that case, the f irst thing I’d try is some silicone spray. There’s rubber weatherstripping in the door that the window slides into when it’s closed. Hit the inside of that

HELP FOR NONFUNCTIONING WINDOW

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray:

weatherstripping on all three sides of the door frame with some silicone spray. Cans of silicone spray often come with thin tubes that allow you to get that g unk into small spaces. That’s what you want to use.

TOM: If a good shot of silicone doesn’t get the window moving freely, then you have to suspect that the window reg ulator is sticking. That’s the mechanical erector set inside the door that actually lifts and lowers the glass.

If it’s binding up, then youhave to get someone to remove the door panel and replace it for you.

RAY: And if that doesn’t f ix it, you’ll have to drive to a coldweather climate and sell the car there. Good luck, BJ. IMPORTS
