String of suits alleging abuse at Tierra Blanca blast state for lack of oversight

Dems favor CYFD caught in ranch’s Morales at storm of controversy pre-primary convention THE RANCH Tierra Blanca Ranch occupies a 30,000-acre area surrounded by the Gila National Forest in rural Sierra County south of Hillsboro.

Chandler, the suit says, poured jalapeño pepper juice into the boy’s eyes and kicked dirt on him. Another time, Staeger was forced to eat horse dung, the lawsuit alleges.

Similar claims can be found in two other suits — one filed in late December by South Carolina mother Barbara Holler, whose son was at Tierra Blanca with Staeger, and another filed Feb. 27 in District Court in Santa Fe by Cloudcroft grandmother Cheryl Morgan.

While the actions of Chandler and his staff have garnered most of the attention, the civil suits and other developments raise a question: Why didn’t CYFD bring Tierra Blanca under direct state oversight years ago?

Even before the recent lawsuits, some child advocates argued that CYFD had the authority, and responsibility, to license Tierra Blanca. CYFD also took that position

HONG KONG — Investigators trying to find out what happened to a Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared somewhere over the Gulf of Thailand on Saturday were examining the usual causes of plane crashes: mechanical failure, pilot error, bad weather.

But the discovery that two of the passengers were carrying stolen passports also raised the unsettling possibility of foul play.

As of Saturday night, there was little to go on: no

LAGUNA PUEBLO — In the first real test of strength for the five Democrats wanting to challenge Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, state Sen. Howie Morales came out on top, and Gary King suffered a blow.

Shortly before the official vote for governor’s race hopefuls was announced Saturday at the state Democrats’ preprimary convention, Morales, 41, said the win showed he had momentum. The Silver City hospital administrator received Howie more than 29 percent of the delegates’ Morales votes. “This is huge,” he said. “Today showed we have a good organization and the message was well received.”

Assange says NATION&WORLD Wikileaks is Lebanese rally in support of women set to release new secrets

The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Nada Sabbagh received a brief, chilling telephone call from her son-in-law last month telling her: “Come to your daughter. I am going to kill her.”

Sabbagh said by the time she arrived to her daughter’s home in Beirut, her husband had kicked, punched and beaten her with a pressure cooker, leaving her mortally wounded and bleeding on the floor.

Manal Assi’s husband, Mohammed Nuheili, was detained shortly afterward and is still being questioned by authorities. It remains unclear if he has a lawyer and he could not be reached for comment.

The killing of Sabbagh’s daughter is one of three domestic violence slayings in Lebanon in recent months, drawing new attention to women’s rights in this country of 4 million people.

Citizens beat drums as thousands rally in Beirut to mark International Women’s Day on Saturday and demand that parliament approves a law that protects women from domestic violence.

BILAL HUSSEIN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Although Lebanon appears very progressive on women rights compared to other countries in the Middle East, domestic violence remains an unspoken problem and the nation’s parlia-

ment has yet to vote on a bill protecting women’s rights nearly three years after it was approved by the cabinet.

Civil rights activists say that a woman is killed every month

ports Authority said its inspection process is “anchored” in Israeli and international law. It said the high level of security threats facing the airport “demands a severe level of inspection,” including questioning, scanning of luggage and inspections of handbags and travelers.

In brief Questions raised over Israeli airport security JERUSALEM — Tough security at Israel’s Ben-Gurion Airport is stirring debate after an Arab schoolteacher who teaches at a Jewish high school was strip-searched at the airport in the southern resort town of Eilat during a class trip with her students.

Though Israel denies profiling travelers, business executives, journalists and especially Arabs and visitors to Palestinian areas seem prone to being targeted with aggressive questioning, long luggage examinations and even strip searches.

Many Lebanese women also see the laws in this Arab country as discriminating against them.

Lebanese women married to foreigners cannot pass their citizenship to their children and husbands. The country’s personal status law, which deals with cases involving divorce or inheritance, is implemented according to the person’s religion and their faith dictates their fate. Some young women under 18 get kidnapped by their future husbands and get married with the help of religious clerics against the will of their parents.

Activists are urging Lebanon’s parliament to approve a new law regarding domestic violence at its first meeting after a legislative subcommittee approved it last year.

cases that followed and expanded it.

The Sullivan case, as it is known among lawyers, stemmed from Alabama officials’ efforts to hamper the newspaper’s coverage of civil rights protests in the South. The decision made it hard for public officials to win lawsuits and hefty money awards over published false statements that damaged their reputations.

In the decades since, the justices have extended the decision, making it tough for celebrities, politicians and other public figures to win libel suits.

Newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations were the primary means of publishing when the Sullivan case was decided.

Today, the case applies equally to Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Because of the ease of publishing online, more people may claim the protections granted by the decision and others that followed.

By Adam Satariano Bloomberg News

Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks who has disclosed scores of classified data about U.S. military and diplomatic efforts, said the group would be releasing a new batch of secret information.

Assange, speaking through a video feed Saturday to a crowd of more than 3,000 people at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas, said he wouldn’t share details about the timing or contents of the data because he doesn’t want to give the subjects a chance to prepare a response.

“I don’t think it’s right to give the perpetrator the heads up,” Assange said.

Assange is one of several speakers at the conference who is focused on Internet privacy and online security. After years of being an event for celebrating startups with new social-networking tools for posting personal information, South by Southwest this year is taking a more critical look at the privacy consequences of sharing that data. Edward Snowden, the government contractor who leaked documents disclosing spying by the National Security Agency, speaks Monday through a video link.

Assange, 42, said the disclosures about NSA spying are causing people to reassess the role of government in a world where an increasing amount of personal information is stored online. He said the U.S. agency is losing the public-relations battle since the revelations from Snowden about gathering data from companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple. The disclosures show a “military occupation” in the Internet’s “public space,” he said.

He said the release of classified information is critical to better understanding of the practices the government is doing in secret. He also said the NSA doesn’t face enough oversight from President Barack Obama’s administration.

“Who really wears the pants in the administration?”

Assange said.

Wikileaks, which started in 2006, leaks classified documents under a philosophy of increasing government transparency. With help from people who have access to secret information, the nonprofit group has released materials including State Department communications about foreign governments and military efforts during wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One U.S. soldier, private Bradley Manning, is serving as long as 35 years in prison for leaking classified information to Wikileaks.

Regulators dismissed GM ignition defect that is tied to 13 deaths

By Hilary Stout, Danielle Ivory and Matthew L. Wald The New York Times

Federal safety regulators received more than 260 complaints over the past 11 years about General Motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven, but they declined to investigate the problem, which GM now says is linked to 13 deaths and requires the recall of more than 1.6 million cars worldwide.

A New York Times analysis of consumer complaints submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that since February 2003 it received an average of two complaints a month about potentially dangerous shutdowns, but it repeatedly responded that there was not enough evidence of a problem to warrant a safety investigation. The complaints

— the most recent of which was filed Thursday — involved six GM models that the automaker is now recalling because of defective ignition switches that can shut off engines and power systems and disable air bags. GM said the first recall notices were mailed Friday to the owners of the vehicles.

Many of the complaints detailed frightening scenes in which moving cars suddenly stalled at high speeds, on highways, in the middle of city traffic, and while crossing railroad tracks. A number of the complaints warned of catastrophic consequences if something was not done.

“When the vehicle shuts down, it gives no warning, it just does it,” wrote one driver of a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt.

“I drive my car to and from work praying that it won’t shut down on me while on the freeway.”

Another driver wrote of the same

problem that was eventually linked to 271 deaths.

In response, Congress passed a law in 2000 requiring automakers to report to the safety agency any claims they received blaming defects for serious injuries or deaths, so the government would not have to rely only on consumer reports. Since 2003, GM has reported at least 78 deaths and 1,581 injuries involving the now-recalled cars, according to a review of agency records. Though the records mention potentially defective components, how many of these records were related to the ignition problem is unclear. Even with that additional information, regulators appear to have overlooked disturbing complaints of engine shutdowns.

“We need to make it clear to both industry members and regulators that adverse events must be immediately reported and analyzed to ensure pub-

lic safety,” said Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado, a Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The panel’s staff is scheduled to meet with the safety agency Monday.

The safety agency has repeatedly suggested that it failed to act over the years because of a lack of a critical mass of evidence that suggested a problem beyond isolated incidents.

In a statement emailed to The New York Times, a spokesman noted that over the past seven years, the agency’s investigations in other cases have resulted in 929 recalls of more than 55 million vehicles. The agency “uses a number of tools and techniques to gather and analyze data and look for trends that warrant a vehicle safety investigation and possibly a recall,” the statement said. The agency said 260 complaints amounts to about .018 percent of the vehicles under recall.

model: “Engine stops while driving — cannot steer nor brake so controlling the car to a safe stop is very dangerous.”

To the mounting complaints, the safety agency sometimes responded with polite but formulaic letters similar to one it sent in December 2010 to Barney Frank, then a congressman from Massachusetts, who had written on behalf of a distraught constituent whose 2006 Cobalt kept stalling. In the letter to Frank, the agency said it had reviewed its database of complaints to determine if a “safety defect trend” existed. “At this time, there is insufficient evidence to warrant opening a safety defect investigation,” the letter concluded.

Failure to recognize a pattern in individual complaints has been a problem for the safety agency before. In the late 1990s, it was criticized for failing to detect a wave of highway rollovers in Ford Explorers with Firestone tires, a

Although both sides said they were open to negotiations, the heated rhetoric suggested there will be no respite from tensions on the strategic peninsula in the run-up to the referendum “Crimea is and will be Ukrainian territory, and we will not give up Crimea to anyone,” said Ukraine’s acting foreign minister, Andriy Deshchytsia, in a Saturday news conference in Kiev.

Of the upcoming referendum, Deshchytsia said, “It is illegitimate and will not have any legal implications for Crimea, for Ukraine, as well as for the international community.”

In Moscow, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the

interim Ukrainian government was beholden to extremists of the Right Sektor, a Ukrainian group that grew out of the uprising.

“Effectively there is no state control whatsoever over public order and the music is ordered by the so-called Right Sektor, which operates with methods of terror and intimidation,” Lavrov said.

“Already threats are heard not only against officials in Kiev and other Ukrainian regions, but against the heads of the Russian region’s neighboring Ukraine, as well,” he added, referring to threats emailed to four Russian governors, allegedly from Ukrainian radicals.

Ranch: Owner settles suit to allow limited oversight by CYFD Continued from Page A-1 several years ago; however, for reasons that are not clear, it did not follow through with licensure.

The lawsuits are the latest in a string of controversies for CYFD, which has faced criticism because of staff shortages, unspent money and its handling of several recent cases in which children previously referred to authorities were later allegedly victimized by parents or custodians.

Nine-year-old Omaree Varela of Albuquerque died after being kicked by his mother in December. In 2011, 3-yearold Leland Valdez of Pojoaque died after an alleged beating. His mother pleaded guilty Wednesday to child abuse charges in the case, and her former boyfriend is facing trial in July.

Leland’s father, Andrew Valdez, had reported his suspicions of abuse to CYFD months before the boy’s death.

In the matter of Tierra Blanca, all three civil suits allege some children were shackled at their ankles and handcuffed for extended periods of time, beaten by staff and other students, required to perform ranch work without pay, and punished by being deprived of food or made to perform extreme exercises like running up and down slopes or running while carrying truck tires.

Chandler has denied the allegations in the recent Staeger suit and said other allegations of child abuse and neglect, the subject of an ongoing police investigation, have “blown out of proportion” the way his program operates. To date, no criminal charges have been filed involving alleged abuse at the ranch. Michael Myers, the driver in the Sept. 23 vehicle rollover that led to Staeger’s death, has been charged with reckless driving in Sierra County.

The state now considers Tierra Blanca to be a “wilderness program” and not subject to CYFD licensure, although Chandler agreed last month to give the state limited oversight.

Legislation supported by CYFD that would have required licensing of such programs, however, died in the session that ended Feb. 20.

The administration of Gov. Susana Martinez maintains that because Tierra Blanca Ranch is not licensed, CYFD does not have oversight power or authority to investigate abuse complaints when first reported. COURTESY KQRE 13

‘Why wouldn’t you want licensing?’

When Barbara Holler sent her son, Coulton Quevedo, to Tierra Blanca in 2010 in a desperate attempt to improve his behavior, she said in an interview, she was sold on the program’s claims it would instill “responsibility” and “self-respect and respect for others” through “sound Bible principles” and “appropriate discipline” in a wilderness setting, as its website advertised.

Holler said she never imagined the facility could operate without state licensing. “Not being licensed, whether [parents] sign a power of attorney or not, is a very dangerous thing,” Holler said of agreements that parents were required to sign designating Chandler the children’s guardian at the ranch. “If you are doing the right thing, why wouldn’t you want licensing?”

State licensing would bar Tierra Blanca from withholding food, requiring forced exercise as punishment and blocking child contact with parents unless therapeutically justified, said Grace Spulak, staff attorney for Albuquerque-based Pegasus Legal Services for Children, which began raising concerns about Tierra Blanca last year after some complaints came to light.

No licensed residential facility for youths in the state can use ankle shackles, said CYFD spokesman Henry Varela.

Licensing also would allow CYFD to inspect Tierra Blanca, even in the absence of an abuse complaint, and subjects the facility to regulations covering everything from employee background checks to transportation, nutrition plans and the use of mobile homes.

The administration of Gov. Susana Martinez maintains that because Tierra Blanca is not licensed, CYFD does not have oversight power or authority to investigate abuse complaints when first reported. Law enforcement, under state law, investigates abuse or neglect complaints involving facilities like Tierra Blanca and can request CYFD assistance.

On Feb. 21, CYFD announced a civil settlement with Tierra Blanca that gives the state agency limited oversight over Chandler’s ranch for one year “or until regulations applicable” to the High Country Youth Program are adopted.

Under the settlement, Tierra Blanca agreed to stop using “mechanical restraints” and must grant CYFD access to residents and their files without prior notice. The ranch also must immediately file an incident report with a state liaison if there is a client death, an attempted escape, an allegation of client abuse or neglect, or an employee action that leads to serious physical injury or “psychological impairment.”

The settlement, however, lets Tierra Blanca avoid most requirements of licensed facilities and, as Chandler said in a prepared statement to New

Mexico In Depth, “does not alter our methods.”

Chandler said caring for high-risk youths “can be accomplished without hundreds of pages of regulations. The settlement demonstrates we can apply a simple, common sense, standard to the pertinent issues and arrive at an understanding.”

The settlement with Chandler was the “last straw” that led her to sue, Cheryl Morgan said.

“I’m still asking them [state officials], how can you take children and let them go back to a place that’s not licensed?” said the Cloudcroft grandmother, whose civil suit alleges her grandson was physically and emotionally abused during the year he spent at Tierra Blanca ending in October 2012.

The criminal investigation The lawsuits against Tierra Blanca Ranch are the latest challenge for Chandler’s discipline-heavy wilderness program, which occupies a 30,000-acre area in the Black Range that’s surrounded by the Gila National Forest.

For more than a year, law enforcement — first the Sierra County Sheriff’s Office, then the state police — have investigated allegations that Tierra Blanca staff abused children, including body-slamming one restrained boy to the ground and repeatedly striking another in the face for failing to hold a “post-sitting” position — maintaining a sitting posture with one’s back against a pole or wall but without any support.

The investigation was sparked in late 2012 by a detailed memorandum filed with CYFD by San Diego attorney Steve Cowen, whose son stayed at the ranch for 10 months ending July 2012. The memo alleged ranch staff shackled boys for weeks at a time for defiant behavior, limited food, encouraged and allowed boys to beat other students, and sometimes physically abused children themselves.

Cowen’s son is at odds with his father. The son, like other former ranch residents, has defended Tierra Blanca’s strict regimen as a positive influence in his life, both in an interview and at a news conference held in Albuquerque in October.

Tierra Blanca says that, for $150 per

day, it helps troubled teens “who have become unmanageable and uncontrollable … turn their lives around” through a ranch experience that includes positive role-modeling and “outdoor skills development,” according to court documents. Stays typically last one year.

Soon after the police investigation became public last year, Chandler said at an Oct. 10 news conference the abuse claims were “exaggerated and blown out of proportion.”

The next day, state police swooped down on the ranch to take custody of nine teens in the program at the time, only to find them gone. The state issued an Amber Alert for the children. Tierra Blanca attorney Pete Domenici Jr. said Chandler was returning the youths to their parents.

Later, Gov. Martinez said a search warrant executed by state police at Tierra Blanca during the failed attempt to collect the children “did corroborate with the allegations of some of those boys.” Martinez, a former prosecutor who built a reputation prosecuting child abuse cases in Las Cruces, did not divulge the evidence.

Seventh Judicial District Attorney Clint Wellborn, who is reviewing the case, said the police investigation continues. He also would not reveal what police have found.

Legislation fails to pass The legislation to require “wilderness youth programs” like Tierra Blanca Ranch to be licensed by CYFD passed in the House but died in the Senate during the legislative session that ended Feb. 20. Touting his program’s “superlative” academic results, Chandler opposed the bill in personal appearances before legislative committees. Joining him at one hearing were two former program participants and the father of a third.

The Senate sponsor of the bill, Sue Wilson Beffort, R-Sandia Park, said she would try again next year to pass legislation to give CYFD licensing oversight over Tierra Blanca.

“When you’re unregulated, unlicensed and way out in the middle of nowhere, I don’t think that’s healthy for children,” Beffort said.

Cowen, whose complaint to CYFD launched the police investigation of Tierra Blanca, said he was disap-

pointed that, in the absence of a licensing requirement, the settlement agreement allows the ranch to continue accepting students.

“I’m surprised they allowed them to reopen at all,” Cowen said. “Before allowing Tierra Blanca Ranch to reopen, you’d think the state would at least wait for the state prosecutor to decide whether they were going to file criminal charges.”

The authority to license Some say the state has had the authority to license the youth program for years and could have, and should have, required the licensure.

Pegasus Legal Services for Children wrote Martinez and CYFD Secretary Yolanda Deines in May 2013 arguing that the ranch should be licensed as a residential program. “Even a superficial review of the program at Tierra Blanca Ranch demonstrates that our state government has failed to ensure the safety of children placed at the ranch,” they wrote.

Spokesmen for CYFD and the governor did not answer written questions seeking an explanation for the administration’s view that Tierra Blanca is not subject to licensure.

This is not the first time the ranch has attracted attention. CYFD received a complaint about alleged child abuse and neglect at the ranch in 2006, Holler’s lawsuit says, “but continued to allow the business to operate without a license and without taking steps to ensure it was providing services to youth in a safe and reasonable manner.”

In August 2006, about the time CYFD wrestled with the Tierra Blanca licensing issue, California writer Thomas Carlsen complained to CYFD that his 14-year-old son had been abused and neglected during his stay at the ranch from May 2004 to July 2006. Once, when the boy was having a seizure, a staff member reportedly skeptical about the child’s condition kicked him in the head, according to a state record of the complaint. The boy claimed he experienced eight to 12 seizures during his last year at Tierra Blanca, but he never received medical attention and his parents were never informed.

The case was referred to law enforcement, but no charges were filed.

And CYFD knew more than five years ago about allegations that Tierra Blanca shackled the ankles of some children, agency records indicate. In September 2008, state police picked up a 16-year-old California boy, his ankles shackled, who had run away from the ranch.

According to CYFD records, the department’s own legal office concluded in August 2005 that Tierra Blanca provided “child care residential services” and needed to be licensed.

But in a February 2006 letter to thenGov. Bill Richardson, Chandler argued that, “because we have parents give us temporary guardianship of their youths while they are enrolled in our program, we are not subject to licensure.”

CYFD in early 2006 threatened to seek the closure of Tierra Blanca if it did not obtain a license, but for reasons that are unclear, that push stalled.

Varela, the CYFD spokesman, said he could not explain why the licensing effort stopped under the previous administration.

Holler said her son, like Staeger, also was involved in the rollover of a truck driven by a Tierra Blanca employee.

Her son was not seriously injured, but Holler said the ranch never informed her of the incident.

A Tierra Blanca statement about the suit said “we grieve” over Staeger’s death in a “tragic accident” because the 18-year-old “was a part of our family.” The statement adds: “We are also extremely saddened at the attempts of unknown parties to make totally outrageous claims of abuse against Scott Chandler, which he as well as many others know to be false.”

In a separate statement about the CYFD settlement granting the state limited oversight of Tierra Blanca, Chandler focused on the rights of parents to determine how their children are raised.

“How many more school shootings, attacks, robberies and families abused by out of control youths will we tolerate?” Chandler’s statement said.

“While these issues are a danger to the youths, families and the public ,even more dangerous is the slippery slope of parents losing their right to parent their own children.”

Albuquerque attorney Timothy White, representing the family of Bruce Staeger, said trying to hold CYFD accountable for alleged abuse is a difficult proposition because the state did not require Tierra Blanca to be licensed and the state is generally immune from liability unless negligence can be proven. He agreed that the ranch should have been licensed long ago, but said that’s now a nonissue for Staeger’s mother.

“My client doesn’t want them licensed. My client wants it shut down,” White said. “She wants Scott Chandler to never be able to care for children ever again.”

Jaramillo said she continues to believe that retired labor lawyers Morty Simon and Carol Oppenheimer “pulled his strings” but that Coss did “good things” as mayor.

Coss: Says life in politics may not be over Continued from Page A-1 $2.8 million over budget projections.

Property crime rates are going down.

City parks are in good shape.

In January, the city completed an annexation of about 4,100 acres on the south side, which Coss said had been a source of friction between the city and Santa Fe County for about 25 years.

And Tuesday, his successor, Javier Gonzales, whom Coss had endorsed, sailed to victory in the municipal election.

“Santa Fe is really a leading city in this country. It’s a great city,” said Coss, 59. “I’ll always just feel honored that I got the chance to be the mayor for eight years.”

Of course, not everything during the Coss administration went smoothly.

When he ran for re-election in 2010, Coss promised to help create 4,000 jobs in four years — a promise he couldn’t deliver.

His City Council colleagues were forgiving, saying Coss did his best under the circumstances of a sluggish economy.

“I don’t know how many jobs he created, if any at all,” City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez said. “It was tough times.

The economy was bad. I think that even if we created five jobs, it was better than some places, where they were losing 500 jobs.”

Residents also have complained about an influx of panhandlers on the Plaza, young people leaving the city in search of jobs and affordable housing, graffiti and a dying nightlife under the Coss administration.

Coss also has been criticized for delving into divisive national and social issues, including resolutions opposing the Iraq War and urging county clerks in New Mexico to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Coss defends his decisions.

“We’re elected to represent everybody, and a decision to go to war, especially one as cockamamie as the Iraq War, that affects all of us,” he said.

Coss, who has a daughter who is a lesbian, said the city’s support of marriage equality accelerated the state Supreme Court’s decision to legalize

I would just tell Santa Feans thanks for the honor “ and the privilege of being the mayor. It’s a great city —

a great, great city. The last 400 years were pretty cool, but the next, it’s only going to get better.” same-sex marriage.

“One of the things that I’ll just be proud of until I die is we as a city government and myself as mayor, we never turned our backs on the issues of human rights,” he said. “I think we had marriage equality in New Mexico in 2013 instead of 2023 or some far distant date when we joined the right side of history.”

Former City Attorney Geno Zamora said he had compiled the research of a legal memo arguing that New Mexico’s statutory definition of marriage was gender-neutral about 12 years before he mentioned it to Coss. Zamora said “many public officials” knew about it and were supportive but were never willing to push the issue. That is, until he mentioned it to Coss.

“I remember in a weekly meeting with the mayor, he was walking out the door, and I said, ‘Mayor, I have this research that people are already entitled to get married in New Mexico. Do you want to do something with it?’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s go forward,’ ” Zamora said.

“He’s a good man, and he recognizes and respects the humanity in everyone,” Zamora added.

Gonzales, who will be sworn in Monday, said Santa Fe owes Coss a great debt of gratitude.

“Mayor Coss is a calm, compassionate, decent person who has also always been the voice for those who need one: lowwage workers, immigrants, those trying to achieve some level of social and economic equality,” he said.

Coss shied away from talking about his regrets, joking that he always wishes he was smarter.

“We made a lot of mistakes, and I would start with my forlorn attempt to change the Planning Commission eight years ago,” he said, referring to his

attempt to replace commissioners with his own appointees.

“It was just a big mistake, and I apologize to all those commissioners and try not to make those types of mistakes again.”

Coss, who made an unsuccessful run for the state House of Representatives in 2012, losing in the Democratic primary to Carl Trujillo, said his life in politics may not be over.

“I’ve been in politics so long, you never say never,” he said.

“Will I run for the Legislature again? Maybe. But no there’s no decisions going to be made in those areas for a few months while Carol and I take some road trips across the country in that new Camaro,” Coss said, referring to his wife of 29 years, Carol Rose.

For now, Coss plans to stay involved in civic affairs. He said he recently joined the executive committee of the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club.

“You’ll always see me involved in environmental protection, in labor rights and in human rights, so I would hope to be still active with my friends at Somos Un Pueblo Unido, still active in the Northern New Mexico Central Labor Council and then active through the Sierra Club,” he said.

Even before he was elected mayor in 2006 and then reelected in 2010, Coss was no stranger to City Hall. In 2002, he was elected to the District 3 City Council seat. Before that, he ran the city’s Public Works Department and then served as city manager for former Mayor Debbie Jaramillo in the 1990s.

Coss attributes many of his accomplishments to the work started by Jaramillo.

“When you see Mayor Coss, you see affordable housing, you see a convention center, you see a Railyard Park, you see civil rights, you see organized labor.

it for the rest of my life,” he said.

Coss said he is proudest of his work on raising the minimum wage.

“We have one of the strongest minimum-wage laws in the country, and it’s kind of gratifying seeing the president of the United States wanting to follow our example and boost the minimum wage in the country,” he said. “I think that’s all to the good, but we did it more than 10 years ago now, and throughout my administration we upheld that and made it even better because now it’s indexed to the cost of living.”

Coss said challenges remain for the city. He said the recession is not over yet and that economic development initiatives of the past will not work in the future.

But Coss remains optimistic.

“I would just tell Santa Feans thanks for the honor and the privilege of being the mayor. It’s a great city — a great, great city.

The last 400 years were pretty cool, but the next, it’s only going to get better.”

Rep. Luján, Lara sweep congressional contests Sen. Heinrich endorses former Eddy County commissioner in 2nd Congressional District race

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

LAGUNA PUEBLO — U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján showed his might Saturday, taking more than 98 percent of the vote at the Democratic preprimary convention.

Luján of Santa Fe topped newcomer Robert Blanch in the battle for delegates in the 3rd Congressional District. Luján received 566 votes to nine for Blanch.

Blanch, an assistant district attorney in Bernalillo County, lives in a section of Albuquerque that was added to the northern congressional district after the 2010 census. He would have to petition onto the ballot if he wanted to continue his long-shot campaign against Luján for the Democratic nomination.

Republicans last week again nominated Jefferson Byrd as their candidate for Congress in Northern New Mexico. A rancher from Tucumcari, Byrd lost the general election to Luján two years ago.

In the Democratic pre-primary race in the 2nd Congressional District, Rocky Lara of Carlsbad was the runaway winner.

Lara took about 85 percent of the delegates. Her opponent, Leslie Endean-Singh of Alamogordo, did not reach the 20 percent threshold to make the ballot.

Endean-Singh, 69, said she was meeting with her team Saturday evening to decide whether she would continue her campaign through a petition drive. She is an attorney and previously served as a prosecutor and a magistrate judge.

Lara, 39, also is an attorney and a former Eddy County commissioner.

“I am honored to have the overwhelming sup-

port of Democrats in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District,” she said. “The momentum and energy our grass-roots campaign has built was evident in today’s results.”

Republican Steve Pearce of Hobbs is the incumbent congressman in the 2nd District.

Pearce, 66, first won election to Congress in 2002.

He vacated the seat in 2008 to run for the U.S. Senate, a race he lost. Pearce recaptured the House seat in 2010.

Lara said her focus was on Pearce.

“Democrats in every corner of Southern New Mexico are united and motivated to take on Congressman Pearce and win in November,” she said.

In a fiery speech to convention delegates, Lara spoke of her support for organized labor and her pride in being raised in a union household. Her father was a potash miner.

Momentum was on Lara’s side well before the convention.

She was one of 16 new House candidates that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee identified in its “Red to Blue Program.”

Democratic candidates in those districts could get financial help on a national scale if the party sees the potential of picking up the seat.

In addition, Luján and U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich of Albuquerque endorsed Lara, something that typically does not happen in primary races.

Lara used part of her speech to reject the notion that she is running this time without great expectations, but to establish herself for a repeat campaign in two years.

“I am in this race to win,” she said.

In the Albuquerque-based 1st Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham had no opposition from fellow Democrats. Two Republicans, Michael Frese and Richard Priem, will compete for the chance to run against her in November.

State Rep. Archuleta presses on with re-election bid after leg amputation Lawmaker absent from recent session because of injuries

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

LAGUNA PUEBLO — One of state Rep. Phillip Archuleta’s legs has been amputated, but he will seek re-election to a second term this fall, his campaign announced Saturday.

Archuleta, 69, is in a rehabilitation center. He intends to file for re-election by Tuesday’s deadline and eventually plans to be on the campaign trail, said Jessica Martinez, a friend of Archuleta’s.

She spoke Saturday at the state Democratic pre-primary

convention, asking party members to donate money to Archuleta so that his home in Las Cruces can be made handicapPhillip accessible.

Archuleta None of the donations would go toward campaign expenses, Martinez said.

Archuleta missed the entire 30-day legislative session this year because of hip and leg injuries that led to the amputation. Martinez said she had not recently visited Archuleta and did not know which of his legs was amputated.

Archuleta won election in House District 36 in Dona Aña

County in 2012. He prevailed in a three-way race against a Republican and then-independent Andy Nuñez, who was the incumbent.

Nuñez, 78, finished a distant third in the 2012 election. He since has become a Republican and is running again in District 36.

Nuñez was elected to the seat as a Democrat. He switched to independent in 2011 after feuding with Ben Luján, the late speaker of the House of Representatives. Nuñez switched parties again after losing to Archuleta, becoming a Republican.

Jet: 12-mile oil slick found on water’s surface in Gulf of Thailand Continued from Page A-1 wreckage of the jet, a Boeing 777-200 with 239 people aboard, and other than a 12-mile oil slick on the surface of the gulf, no clue that a crash had even taken place. The airline said the plane had recently passed inspection, and Malaysia’s deputy minister of transport, Aziz bin Kaprawi, said the authorities had not received any distress signals from the aircraft. The plane was flying at 35,000 feet in an area of the world where it would not have been expected to encounter threatening weather.

After officials in Rome and Vienna confirmed that the names of an Italian and an Austrian listed on the manifest of the missing flight matched the names on two passports reported stolen in Thailand, officials emphasized that the investigation was in its earliest stages and that they were considering all possibilities.

“We are not ruling out anything,” the chief executive of Malaysia Airlines, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, told reporters at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Saturday night. “As far as we are concerned right now, it’s just a report.”

A senior U.S. intelligence official said law enforcement and intelligence agencies were investigating the matter. But so far, they had no leads.

“At this time, we have not identified this as an act of terrorism,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing inquiry. “While the stolen passports are interesting, they don’t necessarily say to us that this was a terrorism act.”

Operating as Flight MH370, the plane left Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, just after midnight Saturday, headed for Beijing. Air traffic control in Subang, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, lost contact with the plane almost two hours later, at 2:40 a.m., the airline said.

That timeline seemed to suggest that the plane stayed in the air for two hours — long enough to fly not only across the Gulf of Thailand but also far north across Vietnam. But Fredrik Lindahl, the chief execu-

LAI SENG SIN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

tive of Flightradar24, an online aircraft tracking service, said that the last radar contact had been at 1:19 a.m., less than 40 minutes after the flight began.

A Malaysia Airlines spokesman said Saturday evening that the last conversation between the flight crew and air traffic control in Malaysia had been around 1:30 a.m., but he reiterated that the plane had not disappeared from air traffic control systems in Subang until 2:40 a.m. China Central Television said that, according to Chinese air traffic control officials, the aircraft never entered Chinese airspace.

A European counterterrorism official said the Italian man, Luigi Maraldi, 37, had called his parents from Thailand, where he is vacationing, after discovering that someone by the same name was listed on the passenger manifest. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Maraldi’s passport was stolen last August, and he reported the theft to the Italian police. The counterterrorism official said the passport of the Austrian man, Christian Kozel, 30, was stolen about two years ago.

The European official said he was surprised that it had been possible to check in with stolen passports at the Kuala Lumpur airport and that an alert should have popped up on the airline agent’s computer.

At a late-night news confer-

ence in Beijing after the arrival of a team of employees to assist families of the passengers in China, a spokesman said the missing plane had no history of malfunctions.

“It was last inspected 10 days ago, well before scheduled service,” said the spokesman, Ignatius Ong. “It was all in top condition.”

When pressed about possible security lapses, the spokesman repeated several times that the airline had no confirmation from the Malaysian authorities that passengers had boarded with stolen passports.

Malaysia, the United States and Vietnam dispatched ships and aircraft to the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand on Saturday to join an intensive search, and China said it had sent a coast guard ship that was due to arrive Sunday afternoon. The Chinese Ministry of Transport said a team of scuba divers who specialize in emergency rescues and recovery had been assembled on Hainan, the southern island-province, to prepare to go Sunday to the area where the airliner may have gone down.

Boeing said in a statement that it was assembling a team of technical experts to advise the national authorities investigating the disappearance of the aircraft.

Lai Xuan Thanh, the director of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam, said a Vietnam-

ese navy AN26 aircraft had discovered the oil slick toward the Vietnam side of the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. The oil slick is suspected to have come from the missing plane, he added.

Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency, reported that the Chinese prime minister, Li Keqiang, had called his Malaysian counterpart, Najib Razak, telling him, “The urgent task now is to quickly clarify the situation and use a range of means to enhance the intensity of search and rescue.”

Malaysia Airlines said the plane had 227 passengers aboard, including two infants, and an all-Malaysian crew of 12. The passengers included 154 citizens from China or Taiwan, 38 Malaysians, seven Indonesians, six Australians, five Indians, four French and

three Americans, as well as two citizens each from Canada, New Zealand and Ukraine and one each from Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Russia.

The family of one of the Americans aboard the flight, Philip Wood, an IBM employee in Kuala Lumpur, said they had little information beyond what had been reported in the news media.

“We’re relying on our Lord,” Wood’s father, Aubrey, said from his home in Keller, Texas.

“He’s the one who carries the load.”

The tickets to the holders of the stolen Austrian and Italian passports were sold by China Southern Airlines, which has a code share agreement with Malaysia Airlines, according to China Southern’s account on Sina

RESIDE

HOME

Weibo, the Chinese microblog platform. China Southern said it had sold four other tickets to the flight, to the Dutch passenger, the Ukrainians, and one Malaysian and one Chinese passenger.

Arnold Barnett, a longtime Massachusetts Institute of Technology specialist in aviation safety statistics, said that before the disappearance of the plane, Malaysia Airlines had suffered two fatal crashes, in 1977 and 1995. Based on his estimate that Malaysia Airlines operates roughly 120,000 flights a year, he calculated that the airline’s safety record was consistent with that of airlines in other fairly prosperous, middleincome countries but had not yet reached the better safety record of airlines based in the world’s richest countries.

Conservatives take aim at Clinton, appeal to women Sen. Paul wins straw poll for president

By Steve Peoples The Associated Press

OXON HILL, Md. — She was not on the speaking program, but Hillary Rodham Clinton had presence at the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservative activists on Saturday, as high-profile Republicans launched a dual effort to attack the prospective Democratic presidential candidate and improve the GOP’s long-standing struggle with women voters.

It was the closing act of a Republican summit that highlighted acute challenges for a party that hasn’t won a presidential election in a decade.

The GOP’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, offered a message to all women, a group that has backed Democrats in every presidential election since 1988: “Women, don’t let them use you — unless you choose to be their political pawn, just their piece of accessory on their arm.”

The Republican firebrand was among just a handful of women featured on the main stage during the Conservative Political Action Conference, which offers an early audition for GOP officials weighing a 2016 presidential run and a platform for leading conservatives to put their stamp on the evolving Republican Party. Thousands of conservative activists, opinion leaders and Republican officials flocked to a hotel just across the Potomac River near Washington.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul won the conference’s presidential preference straw poll, a symbolic victory that reflects his popularity among conservatives who typically hold outsized influence in the GOP’s presidential selection process.

Clinton has yet to announce her 2016 intentions, but she is considered the overwhelming favorite to win her party’s nomination should she run.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich charged that Clinton would be “a prison guard for the past” should she become presi-

dent. Gingrich, a 2012 presidential hopeful, said that Republicans would recapture the White House if the next election Michele is framed as a Bachmann fight between the past and the future and predicted that the GOP would then “govern for two generations.”

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., declared that the former secretary of state “has a lot to explain” should she run for president, raising pointed questions about Clinton’s work in Russia and Libya. And she challenged the Republican Party’s struggle with women.

“Don’t forget, we are the party, the only party, that had a woman on the presidential ticket this century,” Bachmann, a 2012 presidential candidate, said of Palin.

Men dominated the speaking program for the first two days of the three-day event until the final day.

The imbalance caught the attention of Washington-based conservative blogger, Crystal Wright, a guest panelist on a discussion on how to attract more women.

“Part of it is basic optics. How did we start this conference?

With one gender representing the movement of the conservative party,” she said, suggesting that women participants shouldn’t be “stacked up on one day.”

After a disappointing 2012 election season, Republican officials acknowledged the need to broaden the GOP’s appeal among the growing bloc of minority voters and women.

“Women are not a ‘coalition.’

They represent more than half the voting population in the country, and our inability to win their votes is losing us elections,” read an exhaustive selfexamination released by the Republican National Committee less than a year ago.

Ronald Reagan was the last Republican presidential candidate to win a majority of women voters.

GOP leaders quick to challenge right Goal is to deny activists Senate primary victories

By Carl Hulse The New York Times

WASHINGTON — As conservative activist groups stirred up trouble for establishment Republican Senate candidates in 2010 and 2012, party leaders in Washington first tried to ignore the insurgents, then tried to reason with them, and ultimately left it to primary voters to settle the matter.

But after several of those conservatives — in Nevada, Colorado and Delaware in 2010 and in Indiana and Missouri in 2012 — managed to win their primaries but lose in the general election, party leaders felt stung by what they saw as avoidable defeats.

This election season, Republicans led by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are taking a much harder line as they sense the majority within reach. Top congressional Republicans and their allies are challenging the advocacy groups head on in an aggressive effort to undermine their credibility. The goal is to deny them any Senate primary victories, cut into their fundraising and diminish them as

Matt Hoskins, the head of the Senate Conservatives Fund, dismissed the criticism as exaggerated, saying the organization simply rents a Capitol Hill townhouse rather than expensive downtown office space.

He interpreted the new attack from one of the most powerful Republicans in the country as a sure sign that his group’s campaign against McConnell was gaining traction.

“Mitch McConnell is clearly in trouble in this primary or DREW ANGERER he wouldn’t be attacking Matt THE NEW YORK TIMES Bevin and declaring war on conservatives,” said Hoskins, a California-based operative a future force in Republican the Senate Conservatives Fund, and former aide to Jim DeMint, politics. one of the groups trying to R-S.C., who founded the group “I think we are going to crush oust McConnell and a political while serving in the Senate. them everywhere,” McConnell, action committee that has been “Mitch McConnell isn’t upset a particular thorn in his side. the Senate Republican leader, because SCF rents a townsaid in an interview, referring McConnell’s ad, his first house for office space; he’s to the network of activist orga- singling out the Senate Conser- upset because we’re spending nizations working against him vatives Fund, raises a criticism money on radio and TV ads and two Republican incumthat Speaker John A.

Energy burst one way to cool Putin’s power grab

Lobbyists continue spending in final stretch

V

L

ladimir Putin may be a bully, but he’s no dummy.

He has sent Russian forces into Ukraine and has taken control of the Crimean Peninsula — Ukraine’s strategic warm-water port — and he likely won’t give it back.

In 2008, Putin did roughly the same thing in Georgia. The U.S. and European nations may have complained, but now it’s six years later and Russian troops still maintain a forceful presence there.

Last Tuesday, President Barack Obama said Putin’s actions were “not strategically Rob clever.” Try telling Nikolewski that to the Ukrainians.

Only the most Commentary naïve could miss that Putin’s dream has always been to reconstitute the remnants of the former Soviet Union. His power grab involves some risks, but he sized up the likely reaction from his neighbors and determined the rewards were greater.

Unfortunately, he appears to be right.

From Putin’s point of view, what are the downsides of going into Crimea?

Well, the U.S. has threatened to boycott the G-8 Summit that Russia is scheduled to host in June. You can just imagine Putin mulling that one over: Hmmm, hosting a soiree in Sochi or taking control of a peninsula that has been prized by every Russian leader since Peter the Great? Come on.

What’s more, within moments of the U.S. diplomatic contingent floating the idea of a G-8 walkout, the foreign minister of Italy went wobbly, telling reporters that G-8 members weren’t even discussing a boycott.

Yes, economic sanctions can be leveled against Putin but no sooner was that threat lobbed than the foreign minister of Spain told reporters flat-out last Monday that sanctions would be unjustified.

EU nations have shown no willingness to get tough, and Putin certainly figured as much when he rolled the troops into Ukraine.

Secretary of State John Kerry keeps talking about how Russia’s behavior has no place among 21st-century countries, but that’s seeing the world the way it should be and not the way it actually is — especially when you’re dealing with a cunning former KGB agent who perfectly understands the realpolitik of 21st century Europe.

In that same speech on Tuesday, Obama uttered what figures to be the 2014 frontrunner for political understatement of the year when he said, “Countries near Russia have deep concerns and suspicions about this kind of meddling.”

Meddling? Mr. President, meddling is when I tell my next-door neighbor how to discipline his bratty kid. Sending troops into another country is not meddling; it’s an act of war.

While foreign relations isn’t Obama’s strong suit (e.g., Syria and his “red line” declaration and subsequent walk-back), to be fair, Obama doesn’t have many options in this crisis, given the flaccid response from the Euros.

But he does have one card to play: energy.

Russia’s state-run monopoly Gazprom supplies Europe with more than one-third of its crude oil and 31 percent of its natural gas. Simply put, that is why Europe won’t stand up to the Bear.

In a study released with ominous timing this week, guess which of the 25 largest energy users in the world is most dependent on foreign (in this case Russian) sources of energy? Ukraine.

However, the U.S. is in the midst of an energy boom. An announcement by Obama to fast-track liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, as well as speeding up the permitting process for refineries, could certainly concentrate the mind of a troublesome adversary.

True, it would take one to two years to get the infrastructure in place to displace even a portion of what Gazprom produces, but it would send Putin a strong message that bad behavior will not be tolerated and, more important, that Russia’s days as the only energy sheriff on the Continent are receding if he doesn’t shape up.

Of course, such a move would drive Obama’s environmental flank crazy because an increase in oil and gas exports involves the “f” word — fracking.

But in a nasty geopolitical fight with the likes of Vladimir Putin, such are the wages of leading from behind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Readers sound off about changes to comics pages fter returning from a short business trip to Arizona (lovely place … but the local news there is very scary) I looked forward to reading the morning paper.

Much to my surprise, your latest cost-cutting actions disappointed me. Where’s Stone Soup, Baldo, Knight’s Life, Get Fuzzy, Rose is Rose and Pardon my Planet? (Admittedly, they were the weaker strips.) But the crowning glory was your removal of Doonesbury from the editorial page.

So what if Gary Trudeau quit writing a daily strip — isn’t Charles Schulz dead and yet you continue with Peanuts? La Cucaracha is no match for Doonesbury — I’m sure there is a wealth of older strips that apply to today’s political climate. Really, Doonesbury was one of the reasons I bought your paper. You should be ashamed. I may just buy the Sunday paper to get my Doonesbury hit. You just publish yesterday’s news anyway.

sents yet one more example of the dumbing down of your publication.

Charles Schulz won’t be creating any new daily strips any time soon, and yet you print insipid Peanuts reruns. Why not Doonesbury? You should be ashamed.

Missing Bucky For the most part the new comic section seems just fine. However, I will miss Get Fuzzy. That was the one strip that actually made me laugh out loud while I was sitting at the breakfast table. I will definitely miss that little weasel Bucky and the rest of the crowd. It really is a shame they are gone!

Too large?

In light of Santa Fe demographics, you are right in conceding to making the comics a little larger.

But they are so large it appears you are trying to fill the space with fewer comics, rather than make the surviving comics more readable. A compromise on size could make room for a couple more comics and still be readable. I needed glasses and/ or good light to read the old ones. But, with all due respect, if we need comics this large, perhaps we should start investing in magnifying glasses.

What’s next, a large-print version of the paper?

COMMENTARY: MARTIN HEINRICH

U.S. should increase minimum wage

I

still remember my first job like it was yesterday.

I worked as a busboy at a local family restaurant, during our small-town fair. While the job only lasted a few days, I can still recall how incredibly proud I was that I earned a few dollars. I must have done something right, because the next year, that same family hired me to bus tables and wash dishes year-round at their restaurant.

I soon went from busing tables to bagging groceries and then to stocking shelves at the local grocery store. I was proud to make minimum wage, and I worked very hard, despite being the youngest employee.

But I learned about chores and work long before I ever held that job, because I grew up on a

small farming and ranching operation. So whether it was drying dishes after dinner or helping my dad with the cattle, hard work Sen. Martin was simply a Heinrich requirement for every member of our family.

In addition to the ranching and farming, my dad worked as a utility lineman — the people who climb up the power poles during a lightning storm to fix electrical lines, switches and transformers. My mother worked in a factory inspecting wheels on the assembly line.

During those days, I learned to

cook because my mom often worked seven days a week (and eating my dad’s cooking was not an option). I would work at the grocery store after school and on weekends. The work was formative for me, and having my own paycheck was very satisfying. It meant independence. It meant I could save for my own used car and not just inherit my sister’s old tornado-damaged truck. That paycheck was a huge source of pride.

Like many families across New Mexico, I learned the value of hard work — no matter who was doing it. My personal experiences made me realize why the minimum wage truly matters.

Please see WAGE, Page B-4

obbyist spending on food, drink and fellowship for New Mexico legislators continued into the final week of the session, recently filed lobbyist expense reports show.

Meanwhile, the director of a nonpartisan government watchdog group in the state told me last week that that there needs to be a bigger effort to enforce the laws that govern lobbyist spending and reporting.

Here’s the last reports to pop up on the Secretary of State’s Office website: Stephanie Ly, a lobbyist for the American Federation of TeachSteve Terrell ers, says that on Feb. Roundhouse 19, the night before Roundup the session ended, she spent $1,421 for a dinner (in “recognition in support of education legislation”) for lawmakers at Piccolino Italian Restaurant.

Nancy King, lobbyist for Louisiana Energy Services, which operates a uranium enrichment facility in Southern New Mexico, spent $1,638 on a Feb. 13 dinner at the Inn of the Anasazi for several Republican legislators and Cabinet secretaries. King reported this was attended

by Sen. Carroll Leavell, R-Jal, and his wife; Sen. Gaye Kernan, R-Hobbs, and a guest; Senate Republican leader Stuart Ingle of Portales; Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell; House Republican leader Don Bratton of Hobbs and his wife; Rep. David Gallegos, R-Eunice; Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn and Energy Secretary David Martin.

And a late-session event was paid for

by Karin Foster, a lobbyist for Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico. Foster spent $1,979 on Feb. 14 on an unspecified “annual event” for all legislators and staff.

The most expensive event among the filings was for an event that took place relatively early in the session. This was a $7,002 dinner at the Bull Ring on Jan. 30 paid for by Deborah Seligman, a lobbyist whose clients include several energy interests including Ameresco, Concho Resources, Energyadvocate and HollyFrontier Navajo Refinery.

Seligman also contributed $2,000 to the 100th Bill Party — an annual event for which several lobbyists kicked in — at the Eldorado Hotel on Feb. 10.

But wait! There’s more! Right after the session, The Associated Press totaled up all the lobbyist spending and reported, “Lobbyists and their clients spent at least $200,000 during New Mexico’s just ended legislative session … .”

The key words there are “at least.” The fact is a lot of lobbyist spending does not get reported. And that’s perfectly legal.

While the Legislature is in session, lobbyists are required by law to report all expenditures larger than $500 within 48 hours of the spending. Because of that $500 threshold, many expenditures on behalf of food and entertainment go unreported. One way they do this is Lobbyist A will join with Lobbyist B and maybe even Lobbyist C to split the cost of meals for a committee. As long as the cost to the individual lobbyist is less than $500, it doesn’t have to be reported.

And the only lobbyist spending that we report on is that which the lobbyists report voluntarily. Viki Harrison, executive director of Common Cause New Mexico, said there needs to be more enforcement of the current laws related to lobbyist spending. “Those who do late reports, incomplete reports and more need to be fined and held accountable,” she said. “We need spot checks and someone in the [Secretary of State’s] office enforcing reports and spending.”

Harrison pointed to a recent Common Cause report about legislative lobbying.

“Currently, Secretary of State employees rely on complaints typically made by legislators or the media to find out whether a lobbyist has not registered for each client, a haphazard and uncertain process,” the report said. “The Secretary of State does not have the funding to investigate thoroughly, or the reports to cross check lobbyist client and lobbyist reports.”

The report says, “When asked how much additional funding would be required to upgrade the web site and enforce the lobbyist registration process more vigorously, the Secretary of State’s office estimated the cost to be $100,000.”

Change of the guard at history museum

W

hen the New Mexico History Museum’s remarkable Cowboys: Real and Imagined exhibit shuts down next weekend, museum director Frances Levine will be on hand to greet visitors and give the exhibit a send-off. It’s an activity at which she excels, explaining the displays and telling the stories of the people and places being shown. Visitors are treated like honored guests and leave with appreciation for both history and hospitality.

The moment will be bittersweet, though. March 16 is Levine’s last day running the museum she helped open in 2009. She is leaving the end of the Santa Fe Trail for St. Louis, just a few hundred miles from where the Old West trading route began in Independence, Mo. She will take over leadership of the Missouri History Museum.

Her departure reminds us of a disagreement between Gov. Susana Martinez and the Legislature during the recent session — one in which both were right, and both were wrong. Martinez wanted raises for state employees more targeted to certain jobs and positions, places where she had trouble recruiting and keeping positions filled. Legislators believed that employees were due an across-the-board salary increase. In the end, all employees got a raise of 3 percent, with judges and state police getting 8 percent raises, among several targeted hikes for employees. The governor still has to sign the budget.

Levine’s resignation is stark reminder that the state will have to find ways to pay top-level workers more competitive salaries — Martinez is right that the pay structure needs adjustment. Here, as director of the History Museum/Palace of the Governors, Levine made around $82,000 a year. In St. Louis, the salary will be around $260,000 a year in total compensation, a hefty pay raise.

New Mexico will not be able to compete, whether in recruiting police officers, professors for universities or directors of museums, if the state does not revise its pay structure.

Wishing to honor Levine, supporters of New Mexico museums asked for ideas. She didn’t want a going-away present for herself, but Levine did say that anyone who wishes can donate money to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s Acquisitions Fund. That money will go toward the purchase of an 18th-century sewing box, one of those small, personal items that lends detail to the bigger story; in this case, it’s the tales of Spanish colonials suspected of being Jewish. If purchased, the box will be part of a planned 2015 exhibit about Sephardic Jews, Conversos and Crypto-Jews.

Next year, looking at this sewing box (we are sure donors will help the museum purchase it), the exhibitgoers will see more clearly into the daily activities of a woman of the 18th century. These small stories, added up, tell the bigger tale of New Mexico’s past.

Such compelling details are a signature of the History Museum’s exhibits — we meet the people of our past, learn their stories and history becomes concrete. We wish Levine well as she travels off to Missouri. Her departure should remind state leaders to stop assuming that topnotch talent will want to live here just because it’s New Mexico.

A car policy that works

J

ust a quick note on the Santa Fe Police Department’s take-home car policy that has police union members so riled up.

For years, officers could drive home — 60 miles each way — and taxpayers would pay for gasoline and provide the car. That’s no longer the case for new hires, and Santa Fe’s new mayor is considering asking for a return to the more generous take-home car policy. He should proceed cautiously. Rather than a draconian shift designed to make officers miserable, the take-home car policy change makes sense.

Santa Fe residents want their police officers to be their neighbors. They have made it clear over the years they are tired of paying the costs of officers’ commutes to and from Rio Rancho. That’s not just gasoline, but wear and tear on police cars. Changing the policy so officers could drive home only within a 15-mile radius was deliberate.

Figures from the police department show the change is working. It only affects new hires, so the process is slow — slower than many wanted. What we have is a compromise, with longtime officers grandfathered and new recruits having to live closer to Santa Fe or pay for their own commuting.

Consider: about four months ago, about 12 police employees, including animal control officers, had to adhere to the 15-mile radius. A new wave of cadets, just hired, changes that equation. About 30 of the 176 people in the department now must live closer to the town they protect. Progress.

Over time, Santa Fe should have officers who live where they work. That is exactly what the policy — approved by the Santa Fe City Council — is designed to achieve. As Mayor-elect Javier Gonzales gets settled in, he should listen to officers, yes. But he also needs to listen to citizens, who have demanded that their police officers to live in town.

COMMENTARY: LEONID BERSHIDSKY

‘Heavenly Hundred’ haunt Russia T he downfall of President Viktor Yanukovych was a victory to many Ukrainians, but it came at a high price: the death of 98 people, according to the Ukrainian health ministry. Who exactly killed most of them is a mystery that has given rise to a propaganda war between Russia and the new Ukrainian government.

Ukrainians call the victims of the street violence the Heavenly Hundred, in reference to the people’s self-defense “hundreds” who fought off riot police on the barricades. The Ukrainian-language list includes dozens of peaceful protesters and innocent bystanders — a university professor, some retirees who were too old to fight, two heart attack victims. All are equally venerated. Last weekend in Kiev, people were still placing flowers on the spots where members of the Heavenly Hundred died and weeping openly as they recalled the traumatic events that preceded Yanukovych’s flight from the capital.

The Heavenly Hundred list does not include the 11 police officers who also died during the clashes, though they are mentioned in the Russian-language Wikipedia article on the revolution’s casualties.

It would be natural to assume that it was the police who killed the protesters, and vice-versa. Most of the police and many of the protesters, however, appear to have been shot by snipers who picked them off from atop buildings in downtown Kiev.

It is unclear whose side the cold-blooded sharpshooters were on: They inflicted damage on both sides, causing panic and grief each time they fired.

On March 4, Ukraine’s acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov announced that a foreign power was involved in the killings. “A third force was the key factor in these clashes that became a bloody massacre in Kiev and turned the whole country upside down,” Avakov said. “And that force was not Ukrainian.”

Avakov’s words could only be interpreted as a strong hint that the snipers were Russian. He went on to talk about Russian goons stirring up trouble in eastern Ukrainian cities.

At his own March 4 news conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed Avakov’s political allies for the deaths. “Do you know there exists the opinion — and among the erstwhile protesters, too — that these were provocateurs from one of the opposition parties?” Putin responded to a reporter who had asked him whether Yanukovych had ordered his forces to shoot at protesters. “Well, check out those materials. They are open source.”

No “materials” as such existed until Wednesday, although I had heard the rumors Putin referred to: That the Batkivshina Party, to which Avakov and interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk both belong, caused the bloodshed to spur on protesters for the final push against Yanukovych.

On Wednesday, Russia’s Englishlanguage propaganda channel, Russia Today, published what it claimed to be a recording of a telephone conversation between chief European Union diplomat Catherine Ashton and Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet. In the English-language conversation a man identified as Paet tells Ashton about his recent trip to Kiev, saying the protesters had little trust in the Batkivshina-led provisional government and recounting the rumors about the snipers. Citing a conversation with Olga Bogomolets, who ran the protesters’ volunteer medical service and later refused to serve as health minister in the interim Cabinet, the man says: “The same Olga told that all evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers, from both sides, among policemen and people from the streets, that there were the same snipers killing people from both sides.

She showed me some photos, she said as a medical doctor she can say that this is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it’s really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened.

So there is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers it was not Yanukovych but it was somebody from the new coalition.”

With an unbadged Russian occupying force controlling the Crimea, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine is more strained than ever.

Chances of a peaceful solution will become slim, however, if most Ukrainians become convinced that the snipers who killed the Heavenly Hundred were Russian. The victims are heroes to Ukrainians. There are plans for a memorial, and to name a Kiev street after them. Many already believe Russia had a hand in the killings, and consider the neighboring country their eternal enemy. If persuasive proof is presented, such people will number in the millions, and Moscow can forget about rebuilding any kind of ties with Ukraine in the foreseeable future. Besides, the West will need to work out an appropriate reaction to this kind of Russian involvement, much more reprehensible than the bloodless standoff in the Crimea.

For all his bravado, Putin understands the stakes and the need to build up an alternative version of events. The acute phase of the current conflict will end someday, and then Putin, and all of Russia, will have to live with the consequences.

They may include Ukrainians’ permanent aversion to all things Russian, something no one in Moscow or Kiev could have foreseen as the protests started.

Tesla’s success good for the environment

W

hen designing the Tesla Model S, Elon Musk wanted an electric motor that had the same horsepower as the most powerful internal combustion engine but with nearlyinstantaneous torque. And he wanted it to be the size of a watermelon. Engine manufacturers told him this couldn’t be done. So the Tesla CEO decided to build his own motor. The earlier versions of this had a hand-wound stator which increased winding density to help eliminate resistance and increase peak torque.

Later versions of the stators were built by robots.

Musk made the same decision with practically every other component of the Tesla. For him, there could be no compromises in design and functionality.

That is why almost every component of the Tesla Model S is produced at its factory in Fremont, Calif.

When you drive a Model S, you can see the results. The car literally seems to fly. It picks up acceleration like a spaceship shifting into warp speed. The car is eerily quiet, comfortable and elegant. It is a completely different driving experience than the cars we are used to. There is no engine to start, gears to shift, or oil to replace. The brakes don’t wear out because you hardly use them. The Tesla regenerative-braking system charges the car as it slows.

The best part is that the Tesla generates no exhaust fumes to pollute the environment. And if your house has solar panels as mine does, there is a very low fuel cost.

My only complaint after owning my Model S for a year is that I now have

a hard time driving conventional gaspowered vehicles. They seem clunky and crude. It’s like going back to cassette tapes after using iPods and iPhones.

I was not surprised when, last year, Consumer Reports said the Model S was the best car they had ever tested and that this year they named it their best overall “Top Pick” — giving it their highest scores in performance, safety and reliability. My experience has been the same.

After a few initial repairs, the car has had absolutely no problems. It doesn’t need an oil change or maintenance, so I haven’t even had to visit the dealership. I love getting the automatic software upgrades — which add the same types of features as when we update our iPhones. When is the last time that your internal-combustion vehicle had a feature upgrade?

Yes, I know I am biased and seem like a Tesla “fanboy.” This is because I see the future of the automotive industry and a way to reduce our dependence on environment-destroying fossil fuels. Tesla has now proven the viability and superiority of electric vehicles. Along the way, it has had to battle skeptics, short-sellers and even the media. Last year, for example, The New York Times had to issue an apology of sorts by admitting that one of its reporters had “problems with precision and judgment.” It had published a deeply flawed review of the Model S. Tesla’s latest announcement of the Gigafactory will cause another big leap forward (New Mexico could be in the running for the factory). The company announced plans to build a gigantic $5 billion factory that produces 35GWh of bat-

tery storage a year — which is more than all the lithium-ion batteries produced worldwide in 2013.

Tesla expects that when it starts ramping up production in 2017, prices for batteries will be 30 percent lower than they are today. This is not an unrealistic assumption because battery prices have been dropping at even faster rates. An analysis by Deutsche Bank showed that laptop battery prices fell from $2,000 to $250 over a 15-year period, and lithium ion battery prices fell from $650/kWh in 2009 to about $450 in Dec. 2010.

This means that it is realistic to expect that in 2017, Tesla will deliver a vehicle as elegant as the Model S that can go 200 miles on a single charge and has a $35,000 sticker price. (Currently, the base Model S will run you $62,500.)

My prediction is that by the early 2020s, Tesla’s scale and innovation capability will lead to cars that can travel more than 1,000 miles on a single charge and that are priced lower than $35,000 (in today’s dollars). We will all be driving cars as powerful and elegant as the Model S. Wait, let me correct myself. I expect that by then, cars will be driving themselves. Our robotic assistants will have all the fun.

T

onight marks the debut of the new television series Cosmos on Fox TV. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey is a continuation and expansion of the popular science series of the same name hosted by Carl Sagan in the 1980s; this time around, it’s hosted by the mega-popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the most charismatic ambassadors of science in this or any age. Millions of people are eagerly awaiting this debut, with each Sunday’s episode rebroadcast the following Monday on the National Geographic Channel.

Every New Mexican, and particularly every New Mexico student, should watch this series with both wonder and pride: Much of the science explored was either generated or made possible by ground breaking work done at our national labs — Los Alamos, Sandia and the Air Force lab — and/or at our research universities. These institutions are truly at the leading edge of human knowledge and exploration both on this planet and among the stars. It’s literally jaw-dropping stuff. Another source of pride: Cosmos was shot right here in New Mexico, at Santa Fe Studios.

So after they get their heads around what they can’t believe they just saw, I would encourage parents and teachers around the state to hold class discussions about the topics covered in each week’s episode — and explore the possibilities

A science series to inspire, motivate New Mexicans

Good cop, bad cop or state cop? ecent highly publicized incidents have shaken the public’s confidence in the New Mexico State Police: a 39-year-old Hispanic woman who died when an officer fired 16 shots at her fleeing car; an African American mother, whose van full of children was pummeled by a baton-wielding officer, then fired upon three times by another officer; and, four other shooting incidents in which officers were involved.

So far, no officer, except Elias Montoya — whose Taos roadside shooting exploits have been seen around the world on YouTube — has been found at fault. Besides being shocked by the sheer violence of these incidents, many citizens see nothing but red flags when these followup inquiries are conducted inhouse.

Why do so many New Mexicans feel so strongly about this issue? Could it be that they personally know how some state police officers can be? When I was a high school kid in the 1960s, we called them state cops, and it was not a term of endearment. By no means were my friends and I rowdy. Most of us went to Boys State and were in student council, athletics, band, etc. But, any time we came in contact with “state cops,” they were condescending, quick to assert their authority, and lightning fast with their ticket books.

Too many were rednecks who had little tolerance for teenagers or anyone from a minority or a low socio-economic group.

Fortunately, the state police organization has not remained totally static since the ’60s.

Although officers still wear their retro uniforms, the number of minority and women officers has increased to more closely approximate the demographics of the state, and the vast majority are highly competent and conduct themselves in a professional manner. However, the recent high-profile incidents indicate that some officers either will not or cannot use good judgment in the execution of their duties.

This past December, I had my own encounter with a state police officer whose judgment was, in my opinion, somewhat questionable. During a traffic stop in which I was ticketed for speeding, the officer also cited one of my passengers (a house guest of my daughter’s from Peru who is an official with the World Bank in our nation’s capital) for not wearing a seat belt.

Although this person’s District of Columbia driver’s license was valid and current, the officer accused him of having a bogus ID and detained him on the side of the highway for 20 minutes.

When the officer was finally able to verify my passenger’s identity, he gave him the ticket with no apology for the misunderstanding. I explained to my daughter’s friend that I might have expected this sort of treatment from one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s deputies in Maricopa County, Ariz., but certainly not from police in the Land of Enchantment.

After submitting a written complaint to State Police Chief Pete N. Kassetas, the response I received from Deputy Chief Jimmy K. Glasscock explained that in essence, my concerns were unfounded. He went on to say, “We expect a high level of professionalism from our officers. It is through checks and balances such as this that we are able to maintain that level.”

This “checks-and-balances” line might make sense to those who exist in the bubble of police headquarters, but for many New Mexicans, it doesn’t wash, because it creates the impression that “internal inquiry” is doublespeak for, “We will do what it takes to protect our own.” We need an independent state police citizens’ review board, and the human relations training that current and future state police officers receive needs to be revised.

of fascinating and rewarding careers available right here in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

At the same time, building on the series’ excellent production value, they can discuss the fascinating and rewarding careers available right here in the state’s world-class film and television industry. At their core, the arts and sciences aren’t so dissimilar: Both require education, dedication and hard work. And the happy nexus with this series is that in coming together in one package, each lends a hallmark trait to the other: Never has television production looked so technologically advanced, and never has the exploration of a supernova looked so — creative.

I’ve often said that film and television production brings with it much more than just the immediate economic impact of a given production, significant though that may be. It can be educational, inspirational, especially for our youth. New Mexico became a global phenomenon through a fictional television series about a chemistry teacher using science to explore the world.

Cosmos continues that reputation, yet now firmly rooted in the very real and infinitely amazing universe in which we actually live.

Deadly mix of pesticides, pollinators and big money

T

he National Farmers Union Conference is being held in Santa Fe through March 11 at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center and is being sponsored

by Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow and other industry giants.

Bayer will be exhibiting a “bee health” booth to share their “efforts” on honeybee research.

In the past year, Bayer and Monsanto have organized conferences, built “bee centers” and announced “bee care tours,” working to hone their credibility as concerned advocates for bee health. Along the way, they’ve funded research that points to factors besides pesticides as the driving causes of honeybee declines. Meanwhile, they keep selling and marketing neonicotinoids, the fastest growing and widely used class of pesticides on the planet.

As public and regulatory momentum builds to protect bees from harmful pesticides in Europe and other countries, industry giants like Bayer have upped their effort to craft a “bee friendly” image and positioned themselves as friends of the pollinators.

Bees have been dying off in droves since the mid-1990s and the public conversation around colony collapse disorder remains mired in misinformation.

There is no smoking gun behind CCD. The issues are complicated and involve a combination of factors (pathogens, Maria Cruz nutrition and pesticides) acting in concert to make bees sick. In the last year, neonicotinoid pesticides have rapidly risen to the top of the list as a critical catalyst.

Governments in Europe and elsewhere have already taken action against neonicotinoids to protect their honeybees. And beekeepers there are reporting recovery. Yet, regulators in the U.S. remain captive to industryfunded science and a regulatory framework that finds chemicals innocent until proven guilty.

The pesticide industry is predictably pushing back by attacking strong science in an effort to further delay action. Pollinators are a critical part of agriculture.

We cannot afford to lose them.

With one in every three bites of food dependent on honeybees for pollination, the time for decisive action is now.

Maria Cruz of Santa Fe is a backyard beekeeper and a passionate advocate for healthy bee environments.

It’s time for a new tradition of women’s health

W

hen I heard March was National Women’s History Month, the first thing I thought of was the tradition of caregiving in our community. It may not make the history books, but for me it defines so much of what I see among the women of this community. Women who care for children, spouses and elderly parents, neighbors and friends — often at the expense of caring for themselves.

But I have a message for the women of Northern New Mexico: It’s time to start a new tradition of taking care of yourselves. We have a historic opportunity to do it for the first time this year, and odds are you can do it for a low cost — or even for free.

It’s signing up for high quality, affordable health care, which comes to New Mexico through the Affordable Care Act. Thanks to the law, no New Mexican can be denied health insur-

ance for past illnesses ever again. No woman can be charged more just for being female. And every insurance plan must cover important basics — like maternity care, doctor’s visits, prescriptions and screenings for serious diseases like cancer and diabetes.

For years, here at Rio Arriba County’s Department of Health and Human Services, I’ve seen women in our community who can’t afford to take care of themselves. They’ve had to choose between paying for groceries or paying for prescriptions. They’ve tried to ignore that belly pain until it was so bad they had to head to Española Hospital for care, only to walk out with a bill they couldn’t pay.

My message to them is that those days are over, but they can’t end without your help. You’ve got to step up and get health insurance so that when your family needs you, you can be there. Because at the end of the day,

having insurance doesn’t just allow you to see a doctor when you get sick, it gets you access to one so you can stay healthy. Above all, it gives you the peace of mind that if an accident or serious illness strikes, you won’t have to risk your family’s financial wellbeing just to get the care you need.

I know many of you have questions about what changes to health care in New Mexico mean for you and your family. Some of you may have applied for no-cost health care through Medicaid in the past and been turned down; chances are you’re eligible for financial assistance now. There are trained Guides all over Northern New Mexico who can talk with you — in person or by phone. But we need you to reach out and take the first step by calling 855-99-NMHIX. The deadline for enrollment is March 31, so don’t let this be one more thing you put off.

This month celebrates famous

women in history. But I will be celebrating my community’s quieter heroes.

They’re the team of care coordinators out caring for our elderly citizens day after day. They’re the nurses who sit down with a troubled, expectant mom and get her to prenatal appointments on time. They’re the social workers who help a homeless resident find the services she needs to get back on her feet. Like the women of our community, they care for others, but I rest easy knowing they can do their jobs because they’ve got insurance so they can care for themselves too.

That’s what I want for everyone in Northern New Mexico — because we’re making history here: looking after our own health so we can keep looking after those we love.

Taos must bring back ski mountain magic I

recently had the opportunity to express my concerns about the future of Taos Ski Valley when I met with and then wrote to Peter Talty, who is the representative of Louis Bacon, Taos Ski Valley’s new owner.

As many readers know, my late husband, Thomas Brownell, and I ran the Thunderbird Lodge for 35 years before selling it in 2005.

In the beginning, the Taos magic for guests was the genuine feeling of being welcomed.

To founder Ernie Blake and the early “Ski Pioneer” business owners, Jean and Dadou Mayer, Tom and me, it was of utmost importance that visitors had the best possible experience. Ernie was charismatic and a master of public relations. He created the Ski Better Week, which generated weeklong stays in the lodges. Guests enjoyed themselves so much they came back year after year.

To preserve the history of Taos Ski Valley, the Hotel St. Bernard deserves a Historic Heritage Designation.

In my time, I have seen many investors and developers buy up land, build condo complexes with soulless architectural design, sell them off and leave.

Few of these developers put any consideration into giving guests a more memorable experience beyond just a sleeping room. This has resulted, in my opinion, in a slow but steady decline

Promoting myths about wind power

T

he Feb. 25 article (Looking In, “Wind power comes at too high a cost for consumers”) by Thomas Pyle, the former lobbyist for Koch Industries and current head of the anti-renewables group American Alliance, is loaded with debunked myths to attack wind power and the Production Tax Credit. There is no federal program called the “Wind Production Tax Credit” The PTC is elgible for many technologies other than wind. The PTC has helped lower wind power related costs 43 percent in the last four years. Wind power supports 80,000 good-paying jobs across 44 states.

The CBS report that Pyle mentions was a 60 Minutes report that had numerous factual errors, including the amount of money spent on renewables by the federal government.

The author uses a 5-year-old study from Spain on employment impacts that has been shown to have faulty methods.

The U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab produced a report to debunk the mythical conclusions of the report. Pyle contends that poor taxpayers are the losers. The poor don’t pay taxes.

Perhaps he could explain how they lose? Indeed, states which have had the fastest growth of wind power in the past five years have seen their electricity bills fall faster than the national average. I think that helps the poor and middle classes in those states and the businesses that employ people there.

Utilities in the past year have been signing power purchase agreements (PPAs) for prices below what state regulators say would be costs for new coal or even gas-fired plants, in multiple regions in the country. More than 10 states now obtain more than 10 percent of their power from wind energy, with Texas at 9.9 percent in 2013.

Pyle has been publishing these op-eds attacking effective federal policies encouraging the growth of wind power and other renewables in newspapers across the U.S. I’d ask the author who funds his work.

I suspect the funders are the fossil fuel industries, including the Koch Brothers. They’ve received — and still receive — ample government support for their energy resources, primarily dirty fuels. If the fossil industries willingly offered to give up their subsidies, which are allowed for investing in fossil projects, but not renewable projects, then I think the renewable energy industry would follow suit. Until then, it is sheer hypocrisy for the author and the industry he represents to ask for the PTC to not be renewed.

had a thriving nightlife. The Thunderbird was renowned for the Jazz Legends series each January, two-step lessons by Cisco, and talent nights and magic shows added to enjoyment of the guests. As guests, staff and ski instructors socialized together, it created a unique feeling about the ski

James A. Little Theater 1060 Cerrillos Rd., Santa Fe Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

Social media promises us an ever-expanding circle of friends, but that may be an empty promise. Social behavior is firmly rooted in biology, and our brains are hard-wired to maintain meaningful relationships with only about 150 people. Evolutionary psychologist, Robin Dunbar formulated “Dunbar’s Number” to measure the cognitive limit to our social circles – Facebook “friends” and Twitter “followers” notwithstanding. Dunbar will explore how our brains have evolved to support the complex social structures that ensure our survival, and how the size of those groups is defined by our DNA, suggesting real limits not only to our personal relationships, but to the size and capacity of every community in which we participate.

COMMUNITY LECTURE

provides outstanding professional services for our community and guests.

Quigley has saved many lives over the years.

This emphasizes the importance of top-notch health providers, especially for emergencies. As Joe Westermeyer and Nancy Wellman, two longtime health care residents suggest, a medical advisory committee should be formed.

Because financing medical services is apt to present more of a challenge in the future, the new corporation should provide free space for Mogul Medical as is common in most ski resorts. Taos Ski Valley could become a leader in the mountain ski/health field at minimal local cost, as they have done with avalanche control in the past.

The current major investors should work together to protect the charm of Taos Ski Valley. Thus, all plans and alpine architecture must be coordinated to conserve its character for the future. I am confident the new owner will find qualified, experienced people for some new positions and continue to employ the highly regarded local workforce. I have great hopes for the monumental project of renovating Taos Ski Valley and bringing back the mountain magic to this jewel of an alpine ski resort.

2014 Legislature addressed serious issues T

he 2014 legislative session will be dubbed the “no-nonsense session.”

Legislators worked extremely hard to forge compromises on everything from the $6.2 billion state budget to proposals to ensure that college students still get help from the lottery scholarship program; from paying for water projects statewide to saving our local hospitals; and from banning texting while driving to protecting schoolchildren from life-threatening allergic attacks.

I’m especially pleased that the Senate, under the leadership of the members of the Senate Finance Committee, crafted a compromise budget that was acceptable to a majority of the legislature and the governor. This was not an easy task, as evidenced by the dramatic 34-34 tie vote on an initial budget in the house of representatives.

The budget we approved, and that

now awaits action by the governor, represents a 5 percent increase over the current year’s appropriations, a welcome and sure sign that our prudent spending in the past and our economic development efforts are paying off. We put a high priority on creating jobs, improving health care and investing in our children. We increased public school spending by 5.8 percent and higher education spending by 6.6 percent, and we added $28 million to early childhood programs, $1.5 million for job training and recruitment programs and nearly $6 million for nurse and physician education programs.

I am also pleased that the budget includes enough money for a modest pay raise of about 3 percent for public school teachers and state employees and slightly bigger raises for public safety officers and hard-to-recruit employees.

We also approved about $400 million in public works projects, some of which are subject to voter approval in November, which will provide needed infrastructure around the state and put many New Mexicans to work.

Included is funding for Bradner Dam in Las Vegas, the Maxwell well in Colfax County, the Vaughn domestic water system analysis, improvements and emergency repairs, the Power Dam at Santa Rosa, improvements to Morphy Lake dam in Mora County, the Upper Holman fluoride treatment facility and many other important water, health and public safety projects.

While we’ve improved the process of selecting, funding and monitoring public works projects, we still have a great deal of work to do to ensure that we use our precious state tax dollars wisely, investing in projects that can be completed, that provide necessary infrastructure for economic develop-

It’s smart to invest in youngest

C

hildren in New Mexico deserve the best start in life, and by some measures, including the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2013 Kids Count report, they are receiving the absolute worst in the country. This isn’t just an ethical issue but also has deep economic implications. Investing in our children creates jobs, reduces crime and makes for a healthier community.

But what’s the best way to intervene? According to compelling analytical research, there are two critical elements. First, you start early. Second, you aim to build character as well as intelligence.

In 2010, Nobel prize-winning economist James Heckman looked back at 35 years of data from the groundbreaking Perry Preschool program in Ypsilanti, Mich., and found something remarkable: Quality early childhood programs can dramatically improve outcomes not only in

education but also in employment and health for disadvantaged children over time. The rate of return on investment in the very young is very high.

By some estimates, every dollar spent on high-quality early education saves up to $10 in the future. Quality programs not only train teachers and educate children but also create longterm positive outcomes for the larger community.

Heckman has now added to his initial body of research by showing how these programs do it. Positive character traits, such as curiosity, cooperation and resilience have a significant impact on both academic achievement and success in life.

Educators and policymakers often assume that cognitive skills are the only indicators of success and therefore overlook a powerful way to positively shape young children’s lives.

The enhancement of character skills, as proven by the outcomes

of the Perry program and other initiatives, reduced instances of lying, cheating, aggression and classroom disruption. This, in turn, improved earning potential, health and reduced criminal behavior later in life.

New Mexico would be remiss in shortchanging its youngest by measuring the effectiveness of our early care and education programs solely on gains in cognitive development. We must also invest in developing the character of our youngest residents through high-quality early education.

ment and that improve the quality of life for New Mexicans statewide.

Take, for example, the choice we were forced to make between approving funding for the New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute Meadows long-term care facility and Bradner Dam. For nearly 25 years, we have worked to complete the Meadows facility, and we’ve made great progress since the first dollars were approved for planning in the very early 1990s. Those investments have paid off as the people who live and work at the facility are doing so in a state-of-the-art home that is safe and comfortable.

Because of the parochial manner in which our capital outlay funding is distributed each year, we were forced to make a hard decision between completing Phase III of the Meadows longterm care facility or shift state revenue to Bradner Dam. T

he decision was made to fund Bradner Dam in the amount of $10 million and seek full funding for Meadows next session.

A successful legislative session, like the one recently concluded, takes communication, compromise and concern for the entire state.

As we seek resources to fund these large projects, the people of New Mexico will benefit. I encourage residents from Amalia to Anton Chico, from Raton to Mora, to contact me about the issues facing their communities as we prepare for the 2015 legislative session.

We will continue to do what we can, set priorities and address the needs of people to the best of our ability, as the legislature proved in the 2014 session.

Body work can manage pain A

s a child, I was used as an experiment to see if spine stretching every two months for two years over a 12-hour period without pain meds would help scoliosis.

Every hour of these treatments, I passed out — the beginning of learning the body’s response to pain. I then would have a 20-pound cast placed over the body from under my ears to my hips — no air conditioning in 90 percent humidity of East Texas.

I learned strength of mind.

This strength of mind led me to New Mexico and to riding bicycles for 100 miles to keep my back strong while working for myself as a real estate appraiser. Learning to keep the body balanced with yoga and upper body weights, I managed my pain to fit with my life.

From the beginning, I was offered pain medicines as a way of controlling the pain. I declined because I felt I had developed a great character and did not want to miss out on the life of my children and grandchildren. I also wrote federally funded appraisal reports and would not take anything for pain while working.

Then I hit the wall of pain, 24/7, with no relief. I finally went to pain specialists, where I started taking meds with a pain contract that clearly spelled out the circumstances of my being given prescriptions. I take them as needed and wish I did not have to take anything to affect my brain or emotions.

Back in the day, when I was financially independent, I paid for the work I needed. I found that the more body work I could get, the fewer pain meds I needed. As my professional life fell apart and I lost my financial ability to care for myself, I came under the rules of the Medicaid program. Pills are available for muscle spasms, pain relief and

any other need, but it would not pay for body work — that is, until 2013.

The Christus Spine and Pain center hired an osteopath and I signed up for weekly treatments. After the fourth week of treatments, I began to be pain-free for two days after the treatment. After the sixth week, I would be pain-free for three days. I began to be excited at having a more fulfilling life.

With swimming in the therapy pool twice a week and the osteo treatments, my writing life became rich with content.

Then in December of 2013 I was informed the osteopath would be leaving due to his (doctor) wife’s unhappiness with the hospital system. I lost the treatments and Santa Fe lost the only osteopath doctor who would take Medicaid patients.

Living a more pain-free life is a possibility that I crave. With the new Affordable Care Act, insurance companies must spend more on the patients.

Body work is the place to spend this money. By body work, I mean all different kinds — from rolfing to osteopathic care to just massage therapy. Often, pain is a result of the body being out of alignment. At times this is a one-time thing. For people like me, such pain is an everyday situation.

Were I to be given a magic wand, I would wave it in the air and a beautiful bus would appear with massage rooms and a nurse. This bus would travel Northern New Mexico and all the small villages would have a day for care.

My paradigm goes the other way around, and the bus is parked in community safety zones — no driving if possible.

This is not rocket science.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 9, 1914: Now that the Russian thistle has dried up and is ready to blow all over the city, housewives have appealed to The New Mexican to call attention to the importance of burning these thistles and of cleaning up the streets generally. There is much complaint about the condition of the street south and north of the Old Barracks building. There is room for improvement in other parts of the city, too. Santa Feans will perhaps call to mind that ticket agents from all over the United States will be here next Tuesday to spend a day as the guests of the city of Santa Fe. It is hoped that the streets will present an attractive appearance by that time.

March 9, 1964: Washington — President Johnson called on the nation today to mobilize and upgrade its manpower skills in a major effort to wipe out grimly persistent unemployment.

March 9, 1989: Police Chief Ray Sisneros said there has been no increase in crime in the westside neighborhood around St. Elizabeth Shelter since the homeless shelter opened, despite complaints to the contrary from residents. Last month a spokesman for the United Ferrocarril Neighborhood Association complained to the city council about a rash of burglaries and break-ins in their area. The neighborhood group has long opposed the shelter moving into the area, partly because of the fear of more crime.

Married gay couples tackle taxes together Court rulings mean married same-sex couples will need to decide whether to file jointly or separately

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Linda Siegle and her partner have been together for more than 20 years.

Laurel Awishus has lived with her partner for 30 years. And Claudia Sanchez has been with her spouse for almost 50 years.

All three women were finally able to marry their longtime partners in New Mexico last August after the Santa Fe

County clerk began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. So this year, for the first time, these couples will be allowed to file joint tax returns, just like all other married couples in the state.

Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a section of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that restricted marriage to heterosexual unions. The court said all legal marriages must be treated the same. The

federal government later announced that all same-sex couples’ legal marriages will be recognized for federal tax purposes.

And then in December, a state Supreme Court ruling made New Mexico the 17th state in the nation to recognize same-sex marriages.

Peter Doniger, a district coordinator for the AARP Foundation’s Tax-Aide, said newly married couples will now need to decide whether to file their taxes jointly or separately, depending on which status is more beneficial to them.

Linda Siegle and her wife, Liz Stefanics, will file their taxes jointly for the first time this year. Stefanics, shown last month at the couple’s home in Santa Fe, and Siegle were married in August 2013.

A journey of inspiration

By Anne Constable The New Mexican

I

t’s said that when you turn 80, all you want are memories. Maybe not a blister.

But when Marge McCarthy was asked how she wanted to celebrate her 80th birthday, she told her husband, Bob, that she would like nothing better than to walk the camino to Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain, where the remains of the apostle St. James the Great are said to be buried.

The ancient pilgrimage dates from the Middle Ages and includes a large network of routes, including the Camino Francés, the traditional 500-mile route that begins on the other side of the Pyrenees in St.-JeanPied-de-Port, France.

Dozens of Northern New Mexicans have biked or walked along one of the routes to the shrine. Some stay in simple hostels along the way and cook their own meals. Others opt for

B&Bs, restaurants and maybe even a service to take their belongings from one stop to the next.

They walk for numerous reasons — religious, devotional, penitential.

Some are simply looking for adventure. Some walk to sort out issues.

Others walk for the pleasure of long periods of silent meditation or prayer.

Nowadays, they write blogs about their experiences along the way.

The pilgrimage has inspired numerous books and movies, including 2010’s The Way, starring Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, and actor and onetime Santa Fe resident Shirley MacLaine’s account, Camino: Journey of the Spirit.

A new documentary, Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago, tells the story of six strangers, ages 3 to 73, who meet along the pilgrim’s route.

Droves of people wandering the streets of Santa Fe rubbing their eyes, sniffling and seemingly moved to tears might not be reacting to the breathtaking views.

Rather, they’re likely showing signs of allergies. Pollen — particularly the irritating variety produced by Northern New Mexico’s junipers — is creeping back to life from winter hibernation.

“Phones are ringing much busier than they were a month ago,” said Suzy Blanchet, office manager of Allergy Partners of New Mexico in Santa Fe. “Our shot room is busier when the pollen count is high.”

The “shot room” she’s referring to is where chronic allergy sufferers receive long-term treatments, essentially exposing them to an abundance of the materials that trigger their allergic reactions, until the reactions are gone once and for all. Regular shots over the course of a few years generally eliminate the symptoms.

Some mild allergy sufferers can find relief from over-the-counter products without a prescription, according to Dr. James Sussman of Allergy Partners. For those seeking natural remedies, Herbs Etc. in Santa Fe offers an index of conditions and corresponding products on its website, herbsetc.com. Airborne pollen and several allergens are on the list.

Sussman said Santa Fe is experiencing the early stages of the juniper pollen season, which can stretch from late February through the end of April, typically peaking in March. Cottonwood and elm pollen join the mix in April and May, followed by grasses that produce irritants from May to July and return again in early September.

Weed season historically has wreaked havoc with allergy sufferers from early August into October, but in recent years, Sussman has observed it stretching into November.

Visitors tend not to suffer from the allergens as much as people who live here, Sussman said, because it takes several years of exposure for most people to develop allergies.

Protecting bedrooms from allergens is the best way to minimize exposure, according to Sussman. He recommended keeping windows shut to keep the pollen out, removing the outer layer of clothing before entering bedrooms after being outside and keeping pets who’ve been outdoors out of bedrooms.

For those serious about keeping irritants out of bed, he recommended early evening showers before going to bed and using air purifiers to trap pollen and pet dander. Nasal rinsing with a saltwater solution also helps.

This year, more than most, Sussman said those tips could come in handy.

“It’s been a longer allergy season, and it seems like it’s going to be very intense,” he said. “And we’re at the front end of it, that’s for sure.”

Tales of woe and joy on delicate eggshells

Long before the current bloody division in Ukraine over its allegiance to the European Union or to Russia — and long before the Soviet era, its collapse and even the birth of Christianity, for that matter — pysanky artists from the region told tales of woe and joy with vivid dyes layered in beeswax on delicate eggshells.

On Saturday, the millennia-old art form was on display at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, while half a world away, the birthplace of pysanky eggs trembled with

uncertainty — Russian troops have been moving in and the Ukrainian populace is violently split.

“What’s going on with Russia and the Ukraine right now — yikes!” said Santa Fe artist Elizabeth Mesh, an array of her pysanky eggs arranged as a chronological retrospective on dainty stands before her. “The only hope I have right now is that we have evolved as a people, and this archaic way of going in and taking power on a physical level will change, and that more blood will not be spilled.”

Mesh was among four artists

whose work was showcased at the 36th annual Ukrainian Easter egg display sponsored by Susan’s Christmas Shop, owned by Susan Gopp Weber. More than 50 people watched artists’ demonstrations of the medium, which started out as a religious ritual and centered on the universal symbol of life in what is now Ukraine.

“The object then was to call back the sun in spring,” Gopp Weber said.

Mesh said if she was to design an egg that reflects the current Ukrainian condition, it would be black, red and yellow with staid designs that reflect the nation’s

traditions, dovetailing into elegant but frenetic designs that speak to the current chaos.

“I would want people who see it to think about people coming together on a core level as humans,” said Mesh, whose Eastern European heritage traces back to Poland. “It would reflect the idea of tumultuous times and blood that’s not contained. But ultimately, I’d want it to be about hope.”

EUGENIA JOYCE HOULE, 1921-2014 Eugenia Joyce Houle - Joyce to her family and many friends - died peacefully at home on February 24 surrounded by family. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Lewis and Winifred Barker. Joyce grew up in the Chicago area and spent time in Arizona and New Mexico during her childhood. She met her future husband, Joseph Arthur "Art" Houle, in high school in Tucson, and they both attended the University of Arizona. The two were married in 1941 and lived in Illinois and New Mexico while raising three daughters. Her mother owned the Niña shop near the Plaza. Joyce studied art in college and learned to quilt in Santa Fe, giving many of her gorgeous quilts to family and friends. She enjoyed going out to eat with Art, especially at the Compound and El Nido, attending the opera, spending time with her grandchildren, and gardening.

REYES RAMON PADILLA Cherished son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, died in the early morning hours of March 4, 2014, with his family at his side. He was 89.

Born in Santa Fe on June 29, 1924, to Reyes and Clara Padilla, Reyes lived his entire life in the city, establishing himself as a strong family man, respected businessman and loyal friend. With Zenaida, his wife of 66 years, he lovingly raised five sons and one daughter, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was known as a kind, elegant and funloving man, an avid fisherman, and a proud World War II U.S. Marine Corps veteran. He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.

Reyes graduated from Santa Fe High School in May 1942. Two months later, he joined the Marines, serving until October 1945 as a Corporal in the 3rd Marine Division. He was assigned to the South Pacific, where he participated in campaigns at Bougainville in the Solomon Islands, on Guam, and on Iwo Jima. After the war, he returned to Santa Fe, where he met and married Zenaida Lujan and launched a busy and varied professional life, including work for the U.S. Post Office, City of Santa Fe and in the insurance industry. From 1953 to 1957, he owned and operated Rey’s Gulf Service, a gas station at the northeast corner of Washington Avenue and Marcy Street. In 1961, he was appointed New Mexico Motor Vehicle Commissioner by Gov. Edwin Mechem.

Reyes was best known for his role in building the local real estate industry and for his extensive knowledge of residential and commercial properties and land holdings in Santa Fe and throughout New Mexico. Licensed as a Real Estate Broker in 1960, he established Reyes Padilla Realty and was active in the industry for nearly 50 years. He served in many leadership positions throughout his career, including appointments to the Santa Fe Planning Commission and New Mexico Real Estate Commission in 1967 and to the board of the National Association of Realtors in 1969. He was elected president of the Santa Fe Realtors Association in 1970, president of the Realtors Association of New Mexico in 1971, and vice president of the National Association of Realtors in 1974. In 1975, he was honored by his colleagues as New Mexico Realtor of the Year. Reyes also served on many Santa Fe civic boards, notably his more than 20 years as a member of the board of directors of Century Bank and its predecessors, Mutual Building and Loan and Century Federal.

Reyes was a devoted son and brother who was preceded in his death by his parents, his brothers Abel and Rudy, and his sisters Mary and Pauline. He is survived by his wife, Zenaida; sons Steve, Ray and wife Marcia, Rick, Tommy and wife Kimberly, Carlos and wife Dale, and daughter Carmella and husband Luis Tapia. He also leaves behind his grandchildren Brittany and husband Shane Williams, Brian Padilla, Marissa Padilla, Alana Padilla, Reyes Padilla, Sarah and husband Randy Sparacio, Thomas Padilla and Mikaela Padilla, and two great-grandchildren, Isabella and Randy Sparacio. His brother Louis Padilla and wife Yolanda, sisters Gloria Salazar, Rosina Silva and daughter Carmen, Cecelia and husband Lorenzo Garcia, brother-in-law A.B. Martinez, and many other extended family members also survive him.

A Visitation will be held at 6 p.m., followed by a rosary at 7 p.m., on Monday, March 10, at the Rosario Chapel at Rosario Cemetery. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, followed by internment ceremony at 2:15 p.m. at the National Cemetery and reception for family and friends to follow.

MARGARET SUSAN ZEILIK Margaret Susan Zeilik, age 91, of Santa Fe, NM, and a long-time resident of Stratford and Bridgeport CT, passed away in loving care at Ponce de Leon, February 11, 2014.

Margaret was born on November 3, 1922 in Punxsutawney, PA, to Andrew Sabo and Barbara Palinkas. The family moved to Bridgeport, where her father established a butcher shop to support seven children. Her home was walking distance to Seaside Park; Margaret loved the water, sun, and swimming. She enjoyed music-played the piano-and danced!

The 40s big-band sound propelled her to the dance floor. One evening she dated Michael Zeilik, who took her out for a steak dinner and dancing. They kept jitterbugging long after they were married at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in Bridgeport on July 6, 1944. Michael died in Santa Fe in November 2010. They enjoyed loving companionship for 66 years.

Margaret raised two children-Michael and Pamela. When the family moved into the house her husband built in Stratford, CT, she took the kids on frequent beach excursions, escorting them on public buses. When they grew older, she worked part-time cafeteria positions at Bunnell High School in Stratford. Later, she moved up to manage food services at Flood Middle School. The students delighted in her handing out extra milk and deserts.

Margaret’s family honors her: her son Michael, of Santa Fe; daughter, Pamela Lobel, of Lynn, MA; grandsons Zachary Zeilik, Jeremy Zeilik, of Santa Fe, and Andrew Lobel; and his spouse, Julia, of Peabody, MA. They greatly appreciate Helen Chavez, Margaret’s devoted caregiver. She and Margaret shared special jokes and toughness.

Margaret rests next to her Michael at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe. She wrote in her diary: "I loved him so much and always."

A memorial service celebrating her life will be held Wednesday, March 12, at 11:15 A.M. at the Santa Fe National Cemetery at the Committal Shelter.

LUCIAN LEEDS MORRISON, III Lucian Leeds Morrison, III, an accomplished lawyer for over 55 years and an acknowledged expert within the Trust and Estates segment of the legal profession in Texas, died at home in Houston after a short illness. Lucian was born in San Antonio to Rowena Fay Johnston Morrison and Lucian Leeds Morrison, Jr., on the 23rd of February 1937. Growing up in San Antonio he attended school in Alamo Heights, graduating from the University of Texas, with a BBA in Accounting, where he was a member of Kappa Alpha Fraternity and a JD from The University of Texas School of Law. Lucian served in the US Army before returning to San Antonio to follow in his father’s footsteps becoming a partner in the successful firm of Morrison, Dittmar, Dahgren & Kaine, all established experts in the practice of oil and gas law. The firm attracted many of the state’s highest profile names, including legendary Texas Governor, Dolph Briscoe, who became a mentor and particular favorite of Lucian’s.

An offer to practice law within the high profile world of corporate banking was a challenge that Lucian accepted without trepidation. This decision took him initially to Corpus Christi, but within a few short years he was recruited by the high powered team at Texas Commerce Bank and moved to Houston to accept the position of Senior VP and Trust Officer with that organization. What at first seemed an odd career move for the purist oil and gas lawyer from San Antonio, proved a natural fit for the businessman/lawyer Lucian became. His innate understanding of the need for a perfect marriage between the law, banking and estate planning became the crossroads which informed the rest of his successful career.

Lucian had many passions; certainly his love for the law was first among equals, with a close second the intellectual stimulation needed to create a trust instrument that supported his client’s goals, for perhaps many generations, while complying with the rigors of the banking and legal worlds that he navigated so well. Out of these two passions was born Heritage Trust Company, founded in 1979, with Lucian serving as President, CEO and Principal Shareholder. In 1990, Heritage was sold to Northern Trust to provide a platform for their entry into Texas; the holding company for Northern Trust in Chicago is one of the largest trust institutions in the United States. Lucian agreed to stay on with Northern Trust for a period of transition, but his sights were already set on the next phase of his career which would allow him to focus more closely with several private families and institutions creating and chartering private trusts designed specifically to serve their special needs.

Retirement was a word Lucian never used; it was simply not in his lexicon. But, as he allowed recently, if he was ever going to retire, it would have been to escape with his beloved Nancy, to their idyllic house outside of Santa Fe, located high up on the Mesa. Every window offers a spectacular view of the horizon blending with the sky, and where, if there is eternity, this is exactly what he imagined it would feel and look like.

As a lifelong Texan, it seems appropriate that Lucian almost died with his boots on, conducting an intense hour-long phone conference with a client just a few short hours before his untimely death- if he had been in charge (and he was always in charge) it’s exactly the way he would have planned it.

Believing in giving back to the community that gave him so much, over many years Lucian has been a generous supporter of many of the city’s great institutions, including The University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, Houston Grand Opera, where he and Nancy chaired one of the most fun and successful Opera Balls and Lucian subsequently continued his support, serving on several HGO committees, Friends of Hermann Park and the Legacy Society at Rice University.

Lucian is survived by the love of his life for the last 22 years, Nancy Reed Morrison; two sons from a previous marriage, David Morrison and his wife Kay, and their 4 children, all of Denver, and John Morrison of Houston; as well as a nationwide group of friends and clients who will sorely miss the tall Texan.

Friends were cordially invited to a visitation with the family from six until eight o’clock in the evening on Friday, the 28th of February, in the library and grand foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.

The funeral service was conducted at eleven o’clock in the morning on Saturday, the 1st of March, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons.

At a later time, the family gathered for a private interment at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston.

In lieu of customary remembrances, and for those desiring, memorial contributions may be directed to the charity of one’s choice.

Funeral services and memorials ARNOLD A. RIVIN Arnold A. Rivin, known to his many friends as Arnie, died in Santa Fe, New Mexico on February 25, 2014 at the age of 90. Arnie was born in Hudson, NY, on April 22, 1923, and grew up in Missoula, Montana. He was a 1947 graduate of the University of Montana with a degree in journalism. During World War II he served with the 104th Infantry Division in campaigns in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Arnie was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Rose Rivin, and his sister, Minette, of Missoula, and by his brother, Lee of Spokane, WA. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Honor, and his nieces Vicki Mitchell of Spokane and Marcie Roe of Billings.

In 1947 and 1948 Arnie worked in Washington, DC for the American Hospital Association as a writer in fields related to hospital administration. That was when he met a young Cornell graduate named Mary Honor Crowley, who lived in the same apartment building. She had a housekeeping room and no kitchen. He had a small, but serviceable kitchen on the floor below. Soon Mary Honor’s dishes were coming down the back stairs to his kitchen, and the two were discussing marriage. Arnie was then promoted to the AHA’s Chicago headquarters as editor of its journals. Mary Honor was assigned to the American Embassy in Vienna, Austria. After her return from nearly 5 Foreign Service years in Vienna, the marriage finally took place in Washington, DC in April 1959. Mary Honor immediately joined Arnie in Chicago.

In 1957 Arnie accepted a position in the industrial management with Hollister, Incorporated, a Chicago-based medical products company, where he served as Vice President and Assistant to the President and as a member of the Board of Directors. He also served on a number of related corporate and industry boards. Arnie was a life member of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Chicago Headline Club.

When the Rivins decided to retire in 1974, they chose Santa Fe, New Mexico, which they had often visited on vacations, attracted by its interesting archaeology, history, art, and classical music, exemplified by the Santa Fe Opera. That same year Arnie was elected to the Board of Trustees of St. Vincent Hospital, and he was twice elected its chairman. He was first president of the then newlyformed St. Vincent Hospital Foundation. At the same time he was serving on the boards of the Santa Fe Opera and the Santa Fe Opera Foundation. For several years he headed up the Opera’s fund drive, while also taking part as a director and the treasurer of the Santa Fe Concert Association, a board member of the Northeast Neighborhood Association and a founding member of the Don Quixotes of Santa Fe.

ANTONIO (TONY) CHAVEZ JR. 92, a lifelong resident of Santa Fe, NM, was called into the arms of Our Lord on Monday, March 3, 2014. Tony was born to Maria (Sena) Chavez and Antonio Chavez, Sr in 1921. A memory that stayed with Tony was losing his mother at age 10 and being sent to St. Anthony’s Orphanage, a home for boys, in Albuquerque. This was a Catholic School run by German nuns who were very strict disciplinarians. He said to himself, "This experience would come in handy later in the Army." He attended St. Francis Catholic School, Harrington Jr High, and graduated from Santa Fe High class of 1939. Tony was a WWII veteran, drafted into the US Army in 1942, achieving the rank of Sgt in the 447 AAA Battalion. Tony was in the Europe Theatre stationed in England, France, and Germany. He stepped on an anti-personnel mine and was discharged from the Army in 1945 due to his severe injuries that plagued him throughout his lifetime. Tony was decorated with the Europe Africa Middle East Medal with four Clusters, The Purple Heart, The American Campaign Medal, The Good Conduct Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and The French Medal of Freedom. Tony was very proud of his military service and was instrumental in establishing the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 372 in 1966 where he served in an official capacity until 2010. Tony was a mailman with the US Postal Service for 38 years and would often say how much he loved that job.

He was a very devout Catholic and a member of the Confradia de la Conquistadora, St Jude League, Sacred Heart League. He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, and Charter member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart #372 and was also a member of the National Association of Letter Carriers, the Union Protectiva, and the Santa Fe Senior Center.

He met and married his wife of 40 years, Margarita (Margie) Varela, while they were both working at Bruns Army Hospital in Santa Fe in the late 1940’s. From that union, were born three daughters and one granddaughter whom he loved with all his heart. Tony was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather and always made sure he did the best he could for his small family. He would take his little daughters for rides in the car to see the lights on Cerrillos Road and then for ice cream at the Mighty Nice ice cream shop where the Roundhouse now stands. When his granddaughter was a little girl, he would often take her for rides around his neighborhood in a little red wagon. That was such a special moment for both of them. Tony instilled strong values in his daughters and granddaughter and taught them to be honest, hardworking, and trustworthy which are values they carry with them to this day.

Tony’s hobbies were fishing and deer hunting. He enjoyed many hunting trips with his brother Alfonso and his nephew Mike. The family would often enjoy brook trout he brought home from his fishing trips and sometimes venison from his hunting trips.

Tony is survived by his loving daughters, Angela Chavez (Roger Hoek) of Albuquerque, Christina Romero (Harold) of Santa Fe, Judy Esparsen (Kelly) of Albuquerque, his one and only granddaughter Vanessa Romero of Santa Fe, his brother Rudy (Patricia) of Florida, his sister-in-law Katie Chavez, nieces and nephews, and special friend Laura Mendoza.

The family wishes to express special appreciation to Tracie Alghren, his friend and nurse, and his health care aids Beverly Soto and Bonnie Nieto of whom he was very fond.

Preceding him in death are his loving wife Margarita, an infant son, his parents, and siblings Flora Williams (David), Triny (Josephine), Johnny (Bessie), Vito Coca (Tommy), and Alfonso.

We will miss our daddy and grandpa more than words can ever express and we know he is in eternal life with our Lord in heaven.

Visitation will be Monday, March 10, 2014 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm with a rosary at 6:00 pm to be recited by the Union Protectiva at Berardinelli Funeral Home. Mass of Christian Burial will be recited on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 10:00 am at The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Burial service with full military honors will be at the Santa Fe National Cemetery on Guadalupe St. immediately following the Mass.

Pallbearers are Patriots of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 372. Honorary pallbearers are Ruben Montoya, Pascual Baca, Oscar Jordan, Mike Chavez, Roger Hoek, Harold Romero, Kelly Esparsen, Frank Angel and Dwayne Hoek.

GLENYS F. JURGENSEN

Glenys Jurgensen, 92, died February 21 in Santa Fe. She was born March 8, 1921 in Lindenhurst, N.Y. Her father Alvin Frevert was a plumber, all-around handyman, and an enthusiastic gardener, a skill and dedication he passed on to his daughter. Her mother Isabella was a seamstress, homemaker, serious church-goer, and steward of the family income, all qualities Glenys learned to value.

After receiving her diploma from Lenox Hill Hospital School of Nursing, Glenys enlisted in the U.S. Army Nursing Corps. She worked in evacuation hospitals in Normandy and St. Lo weeks after the invasions, in July, 1944. She received a Purple Heart when her hospital in Belgium was bombed. While on leave in Paris, Glenys went out with a captain in the Army Engineer Corps.

He had whistled at her on the boulevards. With victory declared in Europe, Glenys volunteered for the Philippines and left on a Liberty Ship headed for Manila. By the time she arrived, the war was over, and she waited for the soldiers to return home before being able to ship out and be relieved of active duty.

Taking only enough time to tell her parents and buy china and linens, Glenys moved to Albuquerque to marry Clifford Jurgensen, the soldier who had whistled at her. She immediately fell in love with this new land, so foreign from the beaches and oceans of her past. While Clifford traveled throughout the state as a civil engineer, Glenys happily moved from one small town to another.

She was a little worried when her brother visited Jemez Springs in the 1940s, thinking he would report back to her parents that she was living in wilderness poverty.

Clifford and Glenys had five children: Karen (Watkins), Kathi (Marchiondo), Ray, Richard and Glenn. Glenys was an indulgent mother, raising the children largely by herself as Clifford traveled to build New Mexico’s roads. She instilled in her young family the values and pleasures that she found dear: love of reading and intellectual curiosity, wonder at nature, enjoyment in living, responsibility for helping others, and love of family. Later in life, she delighted in her grandchildren, Lisa, Anna, Amy, and Cliff.

After her husband’s death, Glenys found new interests and pastimes. She learned to be a skilled watercolorist and enjoyed water aerobics, a return to the swimming she loved as a child. She turned alkaline New Mexico yards into lush gardens. She traveled throughout the state with Senior Center friends. She expanded her collection and knowledge of jazz music. She kept family holiday traditions and never forgot a birthday or anniversary.

Glenys was brave, hard-working, resilient, loving and happy.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon her and give her peace and joy eternal. A celebration service will be held at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Albuquerque on Saturday March 29 at 10:00.

Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Park.

Journey: Walking offers time to meditate Continued from Page C-1

The three walked a portion of the 500-mile route four years ago.

will be shown March 14 at the Center for Contemporary Arts, and director Lydia B. Smith is expected to be there.

Recently, a number of Santa Feans gathered to share their stories from the camino in advance of the screening.

Marge McCarthy, a founder of a local labyrinth resource group, said she had always liked walking, especially while meditating.

When she suggested the camino to her husband, he said if they could build up to eight miles of walking in one stretch, he would agree to go.

One day, the couple hiked four miles of the Dale Ball Trails and then they went around again, declaring they were fit for the journey.

And four years ago, they walked about 62 miles along a portion of the Camino Francés.

For the McCarthys, Marge said, the journey was “one of the highlights of our life.” Spiritual but not religious (she’s a Buddhist, he a nonbeliever), it felt like an “eight-day labyrinth walk.” They greeted hundreds of other modern-day pilgrims each day with the traditional, “Buen Camino!” and appreciated the sense of “being in a community where differences didn’t matter.”

“You get hooked,” she said.

“It’s a high, a high to be in the moment. Each time I returned home, I would try to hold onto that feeling as long as possible, until I realized it was always going to be with me.”

Early on, she stayed in hotels.

She didn’t think of herself as a pilgrim. “It felt hypocritical if I stayed in pilgrim hotels.”

Lopez’s first camino was in 1992. She had set out alone on a bicycle to check out the Romanesque and Visigothic art. Since then, she has taken the journey with a number of health conditions: a month after suffering About the blister a stroke, with severe tendinitis and with plantar fasciitis.

In brief Police warn of warrant scam The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office warned Saturday that a scam artist is calling people who may have outstanding arrest warrants in an effort to get their personal data.

Sheriff’s dispatch officers have been receiving calls from people who say they were targeted with the scam, according to a report. The caller has been advising people with warrants to purchase prepaid gift cards, and then is directing them to provide the gift card information over the phone to clear their arrest warrants.

The sheriff’s office has instructed people who receive these calls not to comply, because they are not legitimate. Officials say anyone who receives such a call should report it to nonemergency dispatch, 428-3720.

New background checks approved Paramedics and other emergency medical service providers in New Mexico will now be required to go through criminal background checks.

Gov. Susana Martinez signed into law Saturday a Senate bill that mandates the background checks be done before the state licenses an applicant or renews a license for paramedics or emergency medical technicians.

The background checks take effect July 1.

DWI suspect clips officer’s vehicle ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque aviation officer is in critical condition after his car was clipped by a suspected drunken driver.

the albergues, in which many people bunk in the same room.

At first she started out with a 50-pound pack that contained a laptop, lots of dried food (she’s a vegetarian) and a number of books. She and Paolo Speirn, her boyfriend at the time, were “totally made fun of,” McCarthy said, laughing. One time, while cooking at the albergue, “We made a joke that we carried a cast iron pot, and people believed us.”

At one hostel, McCarthy said, she left their passports behind.

She didn’t discover her mistake until 15 miles down the road.

They had no cellphone. They had decided to take the bus back, but when they called the hostel, they were told, “We have them.

We are bring them to you now.”

“It was a miracle,” McCarthy said.

A meditation Airan Leon Vales, a student at Santa Fe Community College, was living in Spain eight years ago when he decided to walk the Camino Francés from St. Jean de Port to Santiago de Compostela. He started out alone but quickly made new friends. Walking 12 to 15 miles per day, he took about five weeks to complete the journey.

“It gives you a lot of time to think about life, the things you want to change,” he said, comparing it to a meditation.

“When I started, I had many worries in my mind. But once I was alone, my mind was clear,” he said.

Leon Vales traveled with a change of clothes and about $10 in his pocket. Sometimes friends paid the $3 or so it cost to stay in the albergues or refugios. From time to time, he was hungry and walked all day without food.

Other times, a chef from Milan would buy food at the supermarket and cook for everyone.

Occasionally, Leon Vales thought about giving up and going home, but, he said, “My faith, my purpose kept me going.”

Determination Kris Lajeskie, who owns an interior design company, said nothing really prepares you to walk seven hours a day with a State police say 32-year-old Michele Rivera was going westbound and driving erratically at a high speed when her vehicle hit Dilley’s.

Investigators say Dilley’s car hit a center concrete barrier and a light pole before flipping over.

They say the seven-year police veteran was on his way home from work. Rivera has been charged with great bodily harm by vehicle, aggravated DWI and reckless driving.

pack on your back. But “I always complete what I set out to do, and sheer determination is what is needed for a journey like this,” she said.

Like so many others, she found the pilgrim spirit is “one of brotherly love.” In 2012, she developed rashes on her legs after about 15 days along the Camino Francés. At just the right time, a Danish body worker and his wife showed up. He told her that her lymph system was shutting down and worked on her legs for about 15 minutes to “jump-start” her body.

“He was an angel that showed up exactly at the perfect moment,” Lajeskie said.

A day later, she caught up with him and bought him and his wife a bottle of wine.

There’s an assumption Kris Lajeskie among some of those on the camino that because you are on a pilgrimage, “a profound message from God will arrive.” But Lajeskie, who is Catholic, said for her “it was a time to be still with God.” And in her very hectic life, “It was a true gift to return to a simple time and existence where the only thing I had to do was walk and think and pray.”

Lajeskie and others prayed for the teenage daughter of a family friend who had suffered a brain injury. Today she, she said, the girl is back at school.

She’s also had several reunions with people she met along the way, including lunch in Paris with a businessman from Pamplona, who advised her on good restaurants along the camino and regional foods to sample. “The bonds you make on the camino are lasting,” she said. “It’s a very serious and intense journey — from the essence of the soul, you connect.”

Border Gov.’s daughter defends headdress woman Patrol Oklahoma removes photo, cites ‘deepest releases but respect’ for Natives policies following criticism on force

Groups say agents too trigger-happy

By Brian Skoloff The Associated Press

PHOENIX — The federal government on Friday released the U.S. Border Patrol’s use-offorce policies while the agency’s chief issued a directive that reiterates how personnel should respond to threats amid mounting criticism of excessive force and lack of transparency.

Border Patrol Chief Mike Fisher, in a memorandum to all agency personnel, reminded agents that the “level of force applied must reflect the totality of the circumstances surrounding each situation.”

Immigrant rights groups have complained that Border Patrol agents are too trigger-happy in responding to people who throw rocks at them along the border with Mexico, often to distract agents from smugglers sneaking drugs into the U.S. Fisher said that since 2010, agents have been assaulted with rocks 1,713 times, with deadly forced being used in 43 instances resulting in 10 deaths.

While Border Patrol policy has always held that agents may use deadly force if there is a reasonable threat of imminent death or serious injury, Fisher’s directive Friday reiterates that they shouldn’t fire their weapons unless absolutely necessary.

The same policy was reiterated for incidents involving moving vehicles, reminding agents that they shouldn’t place themselves in the path of cars, creating a scenario where they would be forced to discharge their weapons.

Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security also released use-of-force policies for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, something it had long refused to do.

Chris Rickerd, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington, said the memorandum from Fisher regarding use of force “leaves much to be desired.”

“It is largely a restatement of existing policy, which is a shame because clearly existing policy isn’t working,” Rickerd said.

The National Border Patrol Council, the union for agents, agreed that the memorandum from Fisher doesn’t change long-standing policy that allows agents to use deadly force when necessary, but noted they have dangerous jobs and rely on their training and instincts. Moran said, “We want to make sure our agents don’t hesitate and protect themselves when justified.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — The daughter of Oklahoma’s governor, who is part of a punk band and has posed for revealing photos at the state mansion, defended herself Friday after posting a photo of herself in a Native American headdress that critics called insensitive.

Christina Fallin, who is not Native American, wears a redand-white feathered headdress in the post, which includes the phrase “appropriate culturation.” The post says the photo was taken at Remington Park, a racetrack and casino owned by the Chickasaw Nation, one of the state’s most powerful tribes. The photo was posted Thursday to Fallin’s Instagram account and the Facebook page for her band, but was later replaced with a statement saying she felt the “deepest respect” for Native American culture and asking people to forgive her for wearing beautiful things.

Fallin, the daughter of Oklahoma’s first female governor, Mary Fallin, made headlines in 2011 after a photo shoot at the governor’s mansion. A local magazine focused on 20-somethings posted videos from the session, showing her strolling around the mansion property in avant-garde fashions.

Those videos were removed from the magazine’s website after some people said they were distasteful. Christina Fallin issued a statement at that time saying she was thrilled to be a part of the magazine.

The 26-year-old Fallin is currently a marketing consultant for and appears in another local magazine that features fashion trends, health tips and beauty advice. She is also part of a local band that describes itself as “electronic-punk.”

In the past few weeks, she’s also posted several photos from events with her mother: first one from the State of the State speech at Oklahoma’s capitol and others from Washington, D.C., while at the National Governor’s Association meeting.

The picture of the headdress quickly drew negative comments on Fallin’s social media profiles, many of which were then deleted. Headdresses, historically worn by Native American warriors who received feathers for heroic deeds, are considered sacred items and are still used for some ceremonies.

Christina Fallin said in a statement that growing up in Oklahoma, she has been in contact with Native American culture her whole life. “With age, we feel a deeper and deeper connection to the Native American culture that has surrounded us,” she said. “Though it may not have been our own, this aesthetic has affected us emotionally in a very real and very meaningful way.”

Before it became a state, part of Oklahoma was known as Indian Territory and was the landing spot for thousands of Native Americans forced to relocate there. There are 39 tribes based in Oklahoma, only some of which historically wore headdresses.

A spokesman for the governor had no comment. Scott Wells, president of Remington Park, said in a statement that facility officials were not aware Fallin posed for the photo and don’t believe she meant any disrespect.

This photo posted to Instragram shows Christina Fallin, the daughter of Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, wearing a Native American headdress. Christina Fallin says that with age, she feels a deeper and deeper connection to Native American culture. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After previous cases in which retailer Victoria’s Secret and the band No Doubt have apologized for using Native American dress, some say Fallin should have known better.

“Not only tribal headgear, but tribal wear at all is usually very sacred to Native Americans and usually part of ceremonial [events],” said Louis Fowler of Oklahoma City, who is Choctaw. “The fact that Christina Fallin even titled it ‘appropriate culturation’ means that she kind of knew what she was doing. There’s a big difference between doing it stupidly and doing it knowingly.”

Oklahoma ranks second in the nation in the total number of Native American residents, and Native American culture is deeply embedded in the history and politics. The state flag includes Native American symbols and a warrior statue sits atop the Oklahoma capitol

dome. Mary Fallin, a Republican who became governor in 2011, has been at odds with some tribes in the past, including in a lawsuit over water rights and the signing of an extradition order for a Cherokee Nation member. She has worked to build and improve those relationships since becoming governor, and has appointed a liaison for Native American affairs to her office.

750 immigration detainees on hunger strike TACOMA, Wash — Immigrant-rights activists rallied outside the Northwest Detention Center on Saturday, while at least 750 detainees protested their treatment and called for an end to deportations with a hunger strike.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement department said Saturday morning that 750 detainees had refused to eat and said they were on a hunger strike.

Activist Maru Mora Villalpando said the hunger strike started Friday as a protest of deportations as well as center conditions. She said the hunger strikers, who she believes number more than 1,000, are seeking better food and treatment as well as better pay for center jobs.

“We are concerned for their welfare, and we support their brave stand against inhumane treatment. We are gravely concerned about retaliation, particularly against the hunger-strike leaders,” Villalpando said.

The center currently houses nearly 1,300 people being investigated for possible deportation.

ICE spokesman Andrew Muñoz said the agency respects the right of detainees.

“ICE fully respects the rights of all people to express their opinion without interference,” Muñoz said.

YOUR NEIGHBORS: GERARD & JANET IFF

Leaving a paper trail Longtime owners of publication on state workers bid farewell to the Roundhouse

Gerard and Janet Iff bought Round the Roundhouse 23 years ago. Janet produced the newspaper’s content and ads, and Gerard took photos and hand-delivered the paper to 10,000 state workers each month.

F

or 23 years, Gerard Iff has looked state workers in the eyes as he personally hand-delivered 10,000 copies of good news to their desks each month. Iff’s visits are nearing an end, but his familyowned publication, Round the Roundhouse, will still be around.

Iff and his wife, Janet, have owned the monthly newspaper devoted to news about state employees since 1991. They were living in Los Angeles and looking for a business opportunity that would allow them to move to Santa Fe. They found it in Round the Roundhouse.

The Gothic country band has been releasing music for nearly 20 years and has built up a dedicated following while remaining relatively under the radar.

In fact, “Far From Any Road,” the song chosen by T-Bone Burnett to accompany the opening credits of True Detective, isn’t even a new song. It appears on the couple’s 2003 effort Singing Bones. But now, thanks to the popularity of the show, the band is experiencing a surge in its popularity.

In a recent interview with The Washington Post, the band talked about the uptick in interest. According to the interview, they have received emails from Iran and are charting in the Ukraine.

Gene: Gina: It’s mostly breasts, isn’t it?

Gene: Yes. But there is some voice-over, too!

Gina: This is a complete, total hoax.

Gene: How can you know that?

Gina: Because I am looking at multiple credible sources on the Web exposing it as a complete, total hoax. There is no Karen Weatherby. The editors of the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, whose most recent study was of “chorioretinal toxoplasmosis,” chortled at the suggestion that they would ever consider publishing this. The hoax first appeared online in 1999 and has resurfaced every few years in newspapers, websites and TV stations when some terminally gullible male editor or male producer or male humor columnist decides it must be true on the ancient, revered journalistic principle of HUBBA HUBBA. Gene: Oh. Well, it sounded plausible. You know. Breasts.

Gina: Yes. Men look at them and feel good.

Gene: Exactly!

Gina: I almost wish this report were true.

Gene: Really?

Gina: Yes. If this report were true, it would end the gridlock in Washington. The tea party and progressives would come together over the need for affordable breast observation clinics. Obamacare would cover both it and breast augmentation and become an instant success. Men’s Health magazine would become indistinguishable from Hustler.

Gene: That all?

Gina: Are you kidding? It would just be the beginning.

Because the National Institutes of Health would fund million-dollar studies, with control groups and standard deviations, to discover if the “breast effect” could be replicated or even surpassed by staring at butts.

Discussing baseball isn’t what it used to be

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Hall of Fame third baseman George Brett remembers sitting in the Kansas City Royals clubhouse with teammates long after games ended talking baseball, often sharing a bunch of beer and a bag of potato chips.

When Bruce Bochy was a catcher for San Diego at the end of his playing days in the mid-1980s, nearly a decade before becoming the Padres manager, there were many late nights listening to stories told by well-traveled championship reliever Rich “Goose” Gossage.

“He’d stay there until 1 or 2 in the morning,” said Bochy, who has won two World Series in San Francisco the past four seasons. “You wouldn’t go home.

You felt guilty if you tried to leave, and it’s hard to find a little space in between his stories where you could say, ‘I’ve got to go.’ ” That was how many old-school players spent their time after coming off the field, long before social media and the amenities now so common for major leaguers. Sure, players today still talk baseball and spend plenty of time together — but not the way it used to be.

“The biggest change, guys are in the clubhouse really early. And, after games, they’re out quick,” said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, who spent his entire 13-year playing career with the New York Yankees. “Now guys are at the ballpark by 1 o’clock — there’s a bunch of guys there already.”

That’s generally six hours or more before first pitch in most parks.

The undersized and 11th-seeded Rangers struggled against the big, athletic Son Blazers and trailed 10-5 after a quarter and 34-20 at the half of a AA first-round game in Las Cruces.

To make matters worse, Mora missed five one-and-one situations in the opening half, something it couldn’t do against No. 6 Mesilla Valley (22-6).

“It just wasn’t meant to be,” said James Branch, Mora head coach. “They are a better ball club. And you know what really surprised me about them was that they are big, but they are pretty fast and athletic. I didn’t know they had four starters returning.”

Nick Nunley led the Son Blazers with 22 points, and Jeff Adler added 18. Casimiro Fresquez scored 14 points for the Rangers (13-17), and Miguel Olivas added 10.

St. Mike’s: Game was last for 6 Cardinals Continued from Page D-1 realize what this is? This is the last game we’re going to play in this gym,’ ” Flores said. “At first you don’t really think about it.

It’s hard, but it’s a good feeling knowing we went out with a win.”

It was also the final game for six Robertson seniors. The Cardinals weren’t so distraught about losing, but it was disappointing to send the veteran leadership out with a loss.

“For the seniors, it was their last game of the year, so of course they’re sad,” Robertson head coach Manuel Romero said. “There was sadness, but it was also encouraging to play a good team.”

St. Michael’s had a doubledigit lead at the end of every quarter, but things didn’t look so bleak for the Cardinals at the beginning.

Robertson started strong by getting a couple of 3-pointers from guard Sebastian Gonzales in the first two minutes, the second of which gave the Cardinals a 5-4 lead. They clung to that lead for a few minutes and led by a margin of 11-7 with just over three minutes remaining in the opening quarter.

“We had the momentum, to a certain extent,” Romero said.

“We took the crowd out of the game.”

The lead and the momentum quickly dissolved, however, when the Horsemen went on a 15-0 run to end the first quarter.

“It was the story of our season,” Romero said. “We had a few turnovers and a couple quick shots, and they’re such a great team that I knew they were going to capitalize on things like that.”

The Horsemen allowed the Cardinals to score only 28 points in the final three quarters, and in doing so they set themselves up with a Cheiftains team that they don’t know too much about. Geyer has seen a glimpse of Shiprock’s identity over the years, but he is going to have to hit the film room to fill in the gaps.

“Historically, they shoot the ball well, and they just go hard,” Geyer said. “It says a lot that they beat Sandia Prep in their home gym.”

Flores doesn’t know much about the Cheiftain either, but he know that they don’t travel lightly.

“They bring a crowd,” Flores said. “They pack a gym, so we have to go in the gym, not care about anyone there and play our game.”

If he didn’t notice Saturday night was his last home game, maybe he won’t notice the notorious Shiprock crowd either.

Prep: Majority of crowd were Eagles fans Continued from Page D-1 like they were for the first 16 minutes against the smaller, but physical Eagles.

Using a matchup zone that focused on doubling down on almost every post entry to Andersson, Lenfestey and Perillo, (19-11) slowly clawed its way out of a 12-2 hole after just 5 minutes of play. When Prep missed a pair of close-range shots in the last 10 seconds, Justin Largo came away with the second miss and hit a pull-up 3-pointer at the buzzer to get within 26-20 at the half.

To make matters worse, Casados was hit with a technical foul as he argued with the officiating crew about the physical nature of the first half. But it also gave him ammunition for his halftime speech.

“We told them at halftime,” Casados said. “‘When you go out in the third quarter, if the game’s going to be officiated this way, then let’s play like that.’ And we did. We toughened up.”

It still took a couple of minutes before Prep flexed its muscle. In that time, Crownpoint scored the first seven points of the quarter and took a 27-26 lead that turned a decidedly pro-Crownpoint crowd in Prep Gymnasium electric. The turnout of Eagles fans caught many of the Blue Griffins off guard, especially when they started to shoot around 90 minutes before the game.

The game was declared a sellout more than an hour before tip-off.

“I walked in here, and I looked at stands,” said Perillo, a 6-foot-4 reserve post. “It was hard for me to find any Prep fans.”

They were there, mingled with the Crownpoint contingent.

Cheer as the Eagles fans might, they could not help Crownpoint overcome Prep’s size. Andersson and Lenfestey combined for 20 of the Blue Griffins’ 39 secondhalf points, and they combined for eight straight points after Crownpoint led 29-28 to give Prep a 36-31 lead.

Their prowess was so strong that Crownpoint abandoned the zone and went to a man-to-man defense, which lit up the eyes of the big men.

“That completely allowed us to dominate on the inside,” said Lenfestey, who tied with Andersson with a team-high 15 points.

“When they realized we were figuring out their zone, they went to man, and that’s where we thrive.”

Even Perillo came up with a big putback with 53 seconds left in the third quarter to give Prep a 43-33 lead entering the fourth.

That bucket was preceded by a 3-pointer from fellow reserve Wyeth Carpenter that buoyed a momentum-turning 15-4 run.

That underscored the depth the Blue Griffins have, something it lacked when they made a run to the AA semifinals in 2012.

“They came up and gave us some valuable minutes,” Casados said. “And then we hit our free throws down the stretch. That’s been something we’ve talked about.”

The Blue Griffins were 12-for-16 from the line in the second half, and they hit six of eight attempts in the fourth quarter. While the Eagles stayed within shouting distance, they never posed a serious threat — even

TOP 25 BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 1 Florida routs Kentucky, goes 18-0 in SEC The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Patric Young scored 18 points in his final home game, and No. 1 Florida routed 25th-ranked Kentucky 84-65 Saturday, becoming the first team in Southeastern Conference history to Florida 84 go 18-0 in Kentucky 65 league play.

Fellow seniors Casey Prather (15) and Scottie Wilbekin (13) also reached double figures for the Gators (29-2, 18-0), who have won 23 straight this season and 32 in a row at home.

Coach Billy Donovan called timeout with 36.9 seconds remaining to get his four seniors another standing ovation.

They certainly deserved this one.

Young, Prather, Wilbekin and fellow starter Will Yeguete have now won 113 games in four seasons, four shy of tying the school record held by Walter Hodge.

WEST VIRGINIA 92, NO. 8 KANSAS 86 In Morgantown, W.Va., Eron Harris scored 28 points, Juwan Staten added 24, and West Virginia withstood 41 points by Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins.

The Mountaineers (17-14, 9-9 Big 12) led by as many as

25 points early in the second half before watching Kansas tear into the deficit behind Wiggins, who fouled out in the final seconds after setting a season high in scoring.

NO. 2 WICHITA 67, MISSOURI STATE 42 In St. Louis, Cleanthony Early scored 20 points with three 3-pointers and a pair of dunks, and Wichita State improved to 33-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference semifinals.

Tekele Cotton also made three 3-pointers for the topseeded Shockers (33-0), who matched the start by Larry Bird and Indiana State in 1979 before they lost to Michigan State and Magic Johnson in the NCAA title game. Wichita State will be heavily favored against Indiana State or Southern Illinois to make it 34 in a row, which would match the NCAA-record start by UNLV in 1990-91.

OREGON 64, NO. 3 ARIZONA 57 In Eugene, Ore., Jason Calliste made the go-ahead jumper and free throw with 4:22 left and finished with 18 points as Oregon won its seventh straight.

Johnathan Loyd added 16 points for the Ducks (22-8, 10-8 Pac-10) who greatly improved their chances of a bid in the NCAA tournament.

Aaron Gordon had 21 points for the Wildcats (28-3, 15-3), who had already clinched the Pac-12 regular-season title head-

ing into next week’s conference tournament in Las Vegas, Nev. NO. 6 VILLANOVA 77, GEORGETOWN 59 In Philadelphia, Darrun Hilliard scored 19 points to lead Villanova to a dominating victory, preserving the Wildcats’ hopes of a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

JayVaughn Pinkston added 13 points, and James Bell and Ryan Arcidiacono had 11 apiece for the Wildcats (28-3, 16-2), who won their sixth straight game while tying the 2005-06 team for second-most wins in program history. Villanova’s 16 Big East wins are the most in school history.

NO. 11 LOUISVILLE 81, NO. 19 CONNECTICUT 48 In Louisville, Ky., Montrezl Harrell scored 20 points, Russ Smith recorded a career-high 13 assists, and No. 11 Louisville claimed a share of the American Athletic Conference championship.

Harrell added 11 rebounds and several thunderous dunks to help the Cardinals (26-5, 15-3) finish tied with No. 15 Cincinnati atop the upstart league. A coin flip gave Cincinnati the top seed in the AAC tournament and Louisville the second seed.

NO. 15 CINCINNATI 70, RUTGERS 66 In Piscataway, N.J., Sean Kilpatrick scored 24 points, and No. 15 Cincinnati clinched at least a share of the American

Athletic Conference regularseason title.

Kilpatrick converted a threepoint play and drove the lane for a layup in the final 68 seconds as the Bearcats (26-5, 15-3) rallied from a late deficit against the Scarlet Knights (11-20, 5-13).

Justin Jackson had given Cincinnati a 65-64 lead with 1:46 to play, scoring underneath after Kadeem Jack blocked his original shot in the paint.

NO. 16 IOWA STATE 85, OKLAHOMA STATE 81 (OT) In Ames, Iowa, Naz Long forced overtime with a 30-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer, DeAndre Kane scored five of his 27 points in the closing seconds, and Iowa State overcame a 16-point deficit.

Kane hit a layup and a pair of free throws to put Iowa State ahead 82-79 with 11.7 seconds left.

Georges Niang had 22 points for Iowa State (23-7, 11-7 Big 12), which snapped a two-game losing streak and fell behind by as much as 45-29 before rallying.

NO. 20 MEMPHIS 67, NO. 18 SMU 58 In Memphis, Tenn., Joe Jackson scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half to lead Memphis.

Jackson hit his first four shots after intermission as the Tigers (23-8, 12-6 American Athletic Conference) shot 59 percent in the second half while building the lead to as many as 14.

Austin Nichols finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for Memphis.

NO. 23 OKLAHOMA 97, TCU 67 In Forth Worth, Texas, Buddy Hield scored 24 points, and Oklahoma clinched the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

TCU became the league’s first team in 10 years to go through the regular season without winning a conference game.

Isaiah Cousins and Cameron Clark had 18 points each for the Sooners (23-8, 12-6), who have won five of their last six games.

Ryan Spangler added 10 points.

NO. 12 MICHIGAN 84, INDIANA 80 In Ann Arbor, Mich., Glenn Robinson scored 20 points, including a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1:10 to play, and Jordan Morgan had a doubledouble in his final home game to help No. 12 Michigan finish off its Big Ten championship season with a victory over Indiana.

Michigan (23-7, 15-3) avenged last year’s defeat in the last game of the regular season.

In that game, Morgan’s tapin rolled off the rim as time expired, giving the Hoosiers the victory and costing the Wolverines a share of the conference title.

NO. 13 CREIGHTON 88, PROVIDENCE 73 In Omaha, Neb., Doug McDermott scored a career-high

45 points and became the eighth player in Division I history to go over 3,000 for a career, and No. 13 Creighton rolled to a victory over Providence.

McDermott passed the milestone with a 3-pointer midway through the second half. After the ball went in, he ran backward with his right hand in the air, three fingers raised. At the next timeout Doug and his coach-father, Greg McDermott, shared a long embrace on the court as the team huddled at the bench.

ILLINOIS 66, NO. 24 IOWA 63 In Iowa City, Iowa, Jon Ekey hit a 3-pointer in the final second to lift Illinois to a victory over No. 24 Iowa.

Rayvonte Rice scored 15 points to lead the Illini (18-13, 6-12 Big Ten), who notched consecutive road wins against ranked opponents for the first time since 2005.

NO. 4 DUKE 93, NO. 14 NORTH CAROLINA 81 In Durham, N.C., freshman Jabari Parker had a season-high 30 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 4 Duke past No. 14 North Carolina 93-81 Saturday night.

Anthony’s 26 points lead Knicks past Cavs

Reed builds 2-shot lead at Doral

The Associated Press

DORAL, Fla. — In only his second year on the PGA Tour, Patrick Reed already is used to playing in the final group on Sunday — and winning.

But not against a field of stars at a World Golf Championship.

And not looking at a familiar figure in a red shirt playing in the group ahead of him.

Reed turned his game around in four holes Saturday at the Cadillac Championship and wound up with a 3-under 69 in much tamer conditions at Doral. It gave him a two-shot lead going into a final round that will prominently feature defending champion Tiger Woods for the first time this year.

Woods, who only a day earlier looked to be on the verge of shooting himself out of the tournament, delivered the low round of the week and his best round of a short season. He made eight birdies for a 66 and was only three shots behind.

“That’s fine. I’ve seen Tiger a lot on the driving range. Never had the opportunity to play with him and I still haven’t been able to play with him,” Reed said. “Whenever he’s close to the lead, he’s a guy you have to watch out for. But at the same time, I have to go and just play my own game.”

He did that beautifully on a sunny afternoon with not nearly as much wind on the new Blue Monster.

Reed rolled in a 40-foot eagle putt on No. 8, and started the back nine with consecutive birdies. He drove the green on the par-4 16th for a twoputt birdie that gave him the outright

CLEVELAND — Carmelo Anthony shook off a horrid shooting start and scored 26 points, leading the New York Knicks to their third straight victory, 107-97 over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.

Amare StouKnicks 107 demire added 17 points and Cavaliers 97 12 rebounds for the Knicks, whose winning streak began after a seven-game slide and amid reports Phil Jackson may accept a job in New York’s front office.

Anthony missed his first six shots, but found his touch in time to help the Knicks in their late-season run at the playoffs. J.R. Smith scored 17 and Tyson Chandler added 15 points and 11 boards for New York.

JAZZ 104, 76ERS 92 In Philadelphia, Gordon Hayward scored 22 points, Alec Burks added 19 and Utah sent Philadelphia to its 16th consecutive loss.

Derrick Favors contributed 15 points and 14 rebounds, Enes Kanter had 13 points and 10 boards, and Diante Garrett scored 11 points for the Jazz (2241), who snapped a five-game losing streak and completed a six-game road trip at 1-5.

GRIZZLIES 111, BOBCATS 89 In Memphis, Tenn., Mike Conley scored 20 points, Zach Randolph added 16 and Memphis turned up the offense in the second half to beat Charlotte.

Marc Gasol added 14 points and

nine rebounds, while Kosta Koufos had 11 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter and grabbed 10 boards.

Al Jefferson scored 17 for Charlotte, shooting just 7 of 17 from the field.

Chris Douglas-Roberts finished with 15 points, his fourth straight game in double figures, but Kemba Walker had just 11 and 3-of-13 shooting. Charlotte shot 40 percent for the game.

SPURS 121, MAGIC 112 In San Antonio, Texas, Tony Parker scored 30 points, Manu Ginobili added 24 and San Antonio overcame a lethargic performance to beat Orlando.

Kawhi Leonard added 17 points, Tiago Splitter scored 14, Danny Green 12 and Tim Duncan had 11 points and 10 rebounds as the Spurs (46-16) extended their winning streak to six games.

Tobias Harris scored 23 points, Nikola Vucevic added 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Arron Afflalo had 17 points for Orlando (19-45). Maurice Harkless added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who were swept in the season series.

WIZARDS 114, BUCKS 107 In Milwaukee, Bradley Beal scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, helping Washington avoid blowing a 28-point lead and beat Milwaukee.

Washington opened a 71-43 lead in the second quarter, but the Bucks cut the deficit to 104-101 on a pair of free throws by Ersan Ilyasova with 2:13 left.

Beal then scored on a driving layup and hit a baseline 3-pointer to give the Wizards a 109-101 lead with 2:01 left.

Washington won for the eighth time in nine games.

lead and finished with a two-shot lead over PGA champion Jason Dufner (68) and Hunter Mahan, who bogeyed his last hole for a 71.

Reed was at 4-under 212, the highest 54-hole score to lead at Doral since a three-way tie at 212 in 1985.

The 23-year-old Texan will be going for his third win in his past 14 tournaments, dating to the Wyndham Championship in August. He was tied for the 54-hole lead that week and won in a playoff. Reed also went wire-to-wire to win the Humana Challenge in January.

He will be in the final group with Dufner, the most recent major champion. Right ahead will be Woods and Mahan.

It’s right where Reed wants to be.

“If you have a 54-hole lead, that means you’re playing the best golf of the group through three rounds,” he said. “Tomorrow is Sunday, but at the

same time, it’s another round of golf. … We’ve won twice since August.

We’ve played great. And if I continue doing what I’m supposed to be doing, come Sunday afternoon, hopefully we’re holding the trophy.”

Woods made three birdie putts of about 15 feet or longer on the back nine, including a 35-footer down the slope on the par-3 15th. His goal was to get back to even par for the tournament and hope to be within five shots of the leader.

It turned out much better.

Woods was one of five players who were under par, and he goes into Sunday only three shots behind as he tries to win at Doral for the fifth time.

Jamie Donaldson of Wales escaped from the palm trees right of the 18th and made par for a 71 to share fourth place with Woods.

“It was nice to get back in the tournament again,” Woods said.

Keselowski holds on for Nationwide win in Vegas

Cap at $133M for Tuesday’s free agency

By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Brad Keselowski once blew a tire while leading the final lap of this same Nationwide Series race, so he knew he couldn’t get excited about a victory in Vegas until he actually crossed the line.

He finally got there Saturday after overcoming electrical problems, traffic and Kyle Busch for an uncommonly satisfying victory.

Keselowski held off Busch in the final laps to win the Nationwide race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first time.

Keselowski earned his 28th career Nationwide win on his 20th track, doing it in his eighth try in Vegas — where he infamously blew a tire on the final lap in 2011, handing a win to Mark Martin.

The 2012 Sprint Cup champion finally cracked this track despite a remarkable series of setbacks and challenges that left Keselowski more relieved than excited.

“We found every way we could to make it hard,” Keselowski said. “This Ford was flying today. These races aren’t getting any easier to win. I drove as hard as I could, every lap.”

Keselowski has been in contention in the Nationwide race in Las Vegas several times over his previous seven starts, but managed just two top-10 finishes after repeated trouble. He found enormous trouble in this one, but still led 144 of the 200 laps.

He had led 106 of the first 139 laps before a sluggish green-flag pit stop allowed Busch to move in front. Keselowski also lost three spots early after sliding through his pit box, and he later lost power because of a faulty alternator, forcing him to turn off equipment.

“It was systematic alternator failure,” crew chief Jeremy Bullins said. “At that point, you go into safe mode, shut off everything you can, and hope the battery makes it to the end. We were losing power at the end, but we had enough to make it.”

Keselowski then navigated through a thicket of traffic on the final laps in an exciting finish.

“I knew it was just a matter of time before [Busch] caught me,” Keselowski said. “I was just trying to get through as much traffic as possible.”

Busch came up from a 37th-place start to finish second on his hometown track, but couldn’t catch Keselowski’s Penske Ford.

Busch, who got sent to the back for making adjustments after qualifying, was decidedly unimpressed with his car’s engine, which is from Joe Gibbs Racing, not Toyota.

NEW YORK — Let the bidding binges begin.

Armed with another $10 million or so to spend thanks to the increased salary cap, NFL teams dive into free agency Tuesday. By the end of the week, most of the top prizes will be signed, to the tune of enough money to fund a small government.

The process will continue for months, with many of the real bargains not moving to new teams or rejoining their previous clubs until well after the early auctioning.

“Free agency in and of itself is an overpayment situation,” says former NFL executive Bill Polian, who built three Super Bowl teams and now is an analyst for ESPN and SiriusXM. “That’s why the union fought so hard to get it.

“These are essentially ‘B’ players whose agents are looking for ‘A’ money. Some situations teams are forced to deal with, and you have to bite the bullet and do it.’ ” While Polian makes the point that the really elite players don’t ever become available in free agency, the 2014 class is filled with former AllPros and Pro Bowlers. They come in all sizes for all jobs, from pass rushers Jared Allen, Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith to running backs Maurice Jones-Drew and Willis McGahee.

The crop is spiced by a deep class of wide receivers, from those just emerging as standouts (Julian Edelman, Golden Tate, Eric Decker, Emmanuel Sanders) to those more established (Hakeem Nicks, James Jones, Santana Moss).

Hardly a surprise, it is not filled with potential starting quarterbacks; the top names are Josh McCown, Matt Cassel and Michael Vick.

And, as former NFL executive Pat Kirwan, who was involved in the development of the free agency process more than two decades ago, points out, “Once some of these guys sign, there will be even more players out there who are available because teams have to cut guys to make room for the new ones they sign.”

For now, teams looking for coverage guys might be enticed by Alterraun Verner, who had a breakout season with the Titans and picked off five passes. Or by Aqib Talib, a shutdown cornerback when healthy, but who comes with some off-field baggage.

Clubs such as Miami, with massive holes on the offensive line, could target the likes of tackles Eugene Monroe, Jared Veldheer, Branden Albert or Michael Oher, guards Zane Beadles or Willie Colon, or center Brian de la Puente.

And don’t forget the franchised or transition players who could be had, with heavy compensation. Is All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham worth two first-round draft picks, plus however many dollar signs it takes to sign him away from New Orleans? Would Cleveland match any offers for Alex Mack, one of the best centers ever to reach free agency, albeit as a transition guy?

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Colts general manager Ryan Grigson says. “I might like someone in a position group that Team B, C, D and E looked at two plays and didn’t fit their scheme, or didn’t fit them from a character standpoint — what have you — with the information their scouting departments are giving them at the end of the day.

“It’s a process and something you have to chip away every day just to have that overall picture in your mind to see if it meshes with what you, your head coach and all your staff kind of sees as our vision moving forward.”

Several teams have chosen to let key players

Baseball: More amenities benefit today’s players Continued from Page D-1 As clubhouse attendants went through their nightly routine of laundry, shining shoes and preparing everything for the next game, it used to be a very crowded space. Players, some still in uniform and others in their underwear, would be talking about the game they had just played or maybe dealing another hand of cards. The clubbies might even have their tasks interrupted to go pick up pizza for the players, or maybe buy more beer and cigarettes.

“We didn’t have a chef, we didn’t have video, we didn’t have a room you could go watch all your at-bats,” said Brett, who played all 21 of his major league seasons with the Royals. “We didn’t have a players’ lounge. We had a locker room.”

These days, it usually doesn’t take very long after games before the clubhouse workers are alone in the smoke-free space as players head home, out to eat or back to the luxury hotels where they stay on the road.

Padres manager Bud Black was a young pitcher with the Royals when he’d often join the postgame gatherings with the likes of Brett, Hal McRae, Dennis Leonard, Paul Splitorff and other veteran players. He remembers some of the cramped barren clubhouses, such as old Tiger

test the waters, including the two Super Bowl participants.

NFL champion Seattle could lose such starters as Tate, cornerback Brandon Browner, tackle Breno Giacomini and defensive end Michael Bennett, plus placekicker Steven Hauschka. Possible departures from Denver are Decker, Beadles, cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Champ Bailey, DEs Robert Ayers and Shaun Phillips, running back Knowshon Moreno and linebacker Wesley Woodyard.

Both franchises have said they want to keep as much cohesion as they can, something Polian finds wise.

“If your own players are quality and can help you win, then it is better off to pay them, I have always believed,” Polian says. “It’s better than what you can find in the market, and you know them better than you know a player from another team. It’s a player you know and believe in and who has no adjustment coming into your system. It is pretty seamless.”

Stadium or maybe Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

“Guys didn’t go to the park early in the old days. Guys rode the bus, 4 or 4:30 p.m.,” Black said. “Because there was no [batting] cage, there was no lounge to go have a nice meal, no TVs to watch out-of-market games, no couches, no food, no four or five training staff guys to get a massage from.”

Boston catcher Davis Ross has spent his 12 major league seasons with six different teams, winning a World Series with the Red Sox last year. He has noticed a distinct shift in things since his major league debut with the Dodgers in 2002.

“There’s a lot more that goes on, so many guys are at are the park really early, but they’re just getting their work in,” Ross said. “They’re in the lounge. Now you have a lounge rather than guys playing cards in the middle of the locker room.”

When Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin made his major league debut as a player with the Detroit Tigers in 1985, almost the entire team — players and coaches — would take the last bus from the hotel to the stadium.

There were no cellphones, Internet, laptops or the latest XBox and PlayStation systems. No plush seating was positioned in front of numer-

ous satellite-linked televisions with 24-hour sports, news or movies.

Even when players are headed to the ballpark now, Chicago White Sox manager Robin Ventura notices that most everyone is on a smartphone, usually talking or communicating somehow with someone on the outside instead of teammates sitting with them on the bus.

Brett has stayed part of the Royals organization since retiring as a player after the 1993 season and is a volunteer coach at spring training. He even stepped in for a few weeks last summer as their interim hitting coach, a short time back in uniform and the dugout that gave him an even closer look at how much has changed.

“They still talk the game. Sometimes they go in and watch each others’ videos — if you know how to work the VCR, or the computer system,” the 60-year-old Brett said. “A lot of guys go into the workout room and work out after games. …

They’ll go with the strength and conditioning coach and go do something to improve themselves, where we would just sit in the locker room.”

Mattingly said one thing really hasn’t changed: Players still talk about the game.

“I see them watching the TV screens and talking about different players and things like that,” he said. “It’s just done a little differently.”

N.M. Highlands splits twinbill with Cowboys The New Mexico Highlands University baseball team doubled its output in just one game.

NMHU exploded for 11 runs in Game 2 of an 11-1 win over Colorado State UniversityPueblo in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference doubleheader in Brandt Field on Saturday.

The Cowboys had scored just five runs in the first two games, which the Thunderwolves (7-8 overall, 3-2 RMAC) took — including Game 1 of the twinbill by a 7-4 count.

NMHU (6-20, 3-3) scored three runs in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 lead — their first of the series. That was more than enough for Highlands starter Cody Brown, who came in with an ERA of more than 20. Brown (1-0) allowed just one run on five hits and a walk while striking out five in a complete game.

Andrew Ratterman went 2-for-4 and drove in four runs to lead the Cowboys in Game 2, while Cole Davis chipped in with two RBIs. The teams play the finale of the four-game set at noon on Sunday.

‘Frozen’ song burns up charts, to Menzel’s surprise

By Mesfin Fekadu The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Tonywinning Idina Menzel — or Adele Dazeem if you’re John Travolta — is enjoying massive success with “Let It Go” from the animated film Frozen, but the entertainer is still perplexed that she’s finally triumphing on the pop charts with a show tune-esque track.

“I’ve had a lot of self-introspection about this. This business is so hard, especially the music business, and I’ve tried so hard to crossover, to convince people just because I was in

a Broadway show I didn’t have the street cred to be a rock or a pop singer,” she said in a recent interview. “And Idina Menzel then the one time I have it, it’s the arrangement from the Disney movie.”

“I’m singing at the Oscars — I’ve never sung at the Grammys,” Menzel added, laughing.

Menzel’s musical moment grew even stronger when “Let It Go” won best original song at the Academy Awards. The

song has sold close to 1.5 million tracks and is a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Frozen album, a platinum success, has been No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for five weeks and counting, the most for a soundtrack album since Titanic in 1998.

“I’ve had ups and downs … and I’m aware of when something’s happening and has an energy of its own,” said Menzel, who voices the lead character Elsa in the film, which won the best animated feature Oscar. “I’m aware enough to know of something special and to try and be in the moment.”

Menzel is having more than a moment in music though, thanks to Travolta, who uttered “Adele Dazeem” at the Oscars instead the singer’s name. He has since apologized.

But Slate magazine created the ultrapopular “Travoltified” tool, where you can put in your name and see what Travolta would call you, and it has been dominating Facebook and Twitter since.

But after that fades, Menzel still has “Let It Go,” which is having a pop culture moment because of the thousands of videos posted of young girls and boys — and some adults — singing covers of the song.

Many of Mobile’s best sights are free

By Jay Reeves The Associated Press

MOBILE, Ala. — Mobile is that “other” city on the northern Gulf Coast, the one that sometimes gets lost between the beaches of the Florida Panhandle and the nonstop party of New Orleans. Local promoters call it “secretly awesome.”

No, Mobile doesn’t draw millions of tourists annually. But the bayside town drips with Old South charm and has plenty of things to do, some of the best of which don’t cost a dime.

Fort Conde The city’s welcome center, Fort Conde is a red-brick recreation of the French fort that protected Mobile for a century until 1820, when the original was demolished to clear land.

Exhibits explore life in colonial Mobile and include artifacts from Indians and early European settlers.

Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Consecrated in 1850 before the Civil War, the basilica is the home of the oldest Roman Catholic parish on the Gulf Coast. With twin bell towers, stained-glass windows, a vaulted ceiling and columns adorned with gold leaf, the church fronts Cathedral Plaza, a shady spot for an afternoon rest along Dauphin Street, Mobile’s low-key answer to Bourbon Street.

Downtown streets are lined with homes and businesses with balconies and fences made of lacy-patterned ironwork.

Oakleigh Garden District One of seven nationally recognized historic areas in Mobile, the Oakleigh district is within walking distance of downtown hotels and features scores of homes dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s.

Neighbors mingle on shady front porches and stroll along sidewalks cracked by the roots of huge live oaks and magnolia trees.

Bayou La Batre Less than 30 miles from downtown Mobile, Bayou La Batre is mentioned in the movie Forrest Gump as the hometown of character “Bubba” Blue. In real life, the town of 2,600 is a major seafood processing center. It’s also a photographer’s dream with a drawbridge, small boatyards and a large fleet of colorful shrimping trawlers.

Toilets go high-tech

Buy now and beat the rise in mortgage rates I

No hands or paper required

keep a close watch on trends in the mortgage industry, especially what’s happening with rates. I have been very interested to see that despite the Federal Reserve Board’s recent action to taper its purchase of long-term bonds, as I write this in mid-February, rates have stayed low. Most analysts had predicted that rates would rise as soon as the taper started, so what’s going on?

An article I read on MSN Real Estate makes some good points. The article, “Why mortgage rates aren’t higher — yet,” makes the case that the rate hike expected to accompany the Fed taper actually happened last spring when the Fed announced that if the economy improved, the bond-buying taper would begin.

That’s right: just the announcement that the Fed planned to do something in the future caused rates to rise by about 1 percent.

The article continues by pointing out that overall mortgage La Fonda rary gem production is down, Contempo so the share of new mortgage-backed securities that the Fed is buying is the same MORE HOME or bigger.

We also have a new chairwoman at the Federal Reserve Board — Janet Yellen. She made it clear when she testified before Congress on Feb. 11 that she intends to continue the Fed’s policies aimed at restoring the economy and the job market. She said the Fed would consider easing the taper if the economy slows again, that short-term rates will stay around 0 percent for the foreseeable future, and that she has confidence in the economy. Perhaps most importantly, she left no doubt that she is in charge, and her policies will offer continuity with those of prior Fed chairman Ben Bernanke.

Does this mean rates will stay low this year? Analysts have consistently projected increases for this year, but we have a reprieve right now. If you are considering buying a home, this is a good time, before the spring/summer rush.

There’s less competition. Home prices are projected to rise. And owning a home helps to create family wealth.

After all, whether you rent or own, you are paying a mortgage. The question is, are you paying your mortgage or your landlord’s?

A high-tech toilet by manufacturer Toto USA, this top-of-the-line loo is a tankless wonder with all the gizmos. It is expected to come out this fall priced at around $10,000. TOTO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Katherine Roth The Associated Press

NEW YORK very so often a revolution transforms something truly basic, rendering the status quo somewhat, well, primitive.

First came covered sewers, then indoor plumbing and flush toilets. Now, one bathroom at a time, another major shift in toilet hygiene is quietly underway.

A new generation of toilets may one day make toilet paper — and the need to put one’s hands anywhere near the unspeakable — seem like chamber pots and outhouses: outdated and somewhat messy throwbacks reserved for camping trips.

Unlike traditional toilets, the high-tech version washes from behind and — if desired — in front with water. Better models allow for temperature, direction and pressure control, and have retractable spritzing wands and automatic driers as well. The best feature warm seats, automatic motion sensors to raise the lid, buttons to raise the seat, nightlights, self-cleaning mechanisms, music to mask unpleasant sounds, deodorizer spritzers and other conveniences.

“Paper just distributes the problem,” said Lenora Campos, a spokeswoman for Georgiabased Toto USA. Toto, the Japa-

Toto began marketing the Washlet in Japan in 1980. Now 74 percent of Japanese households have toilets of the hightech persuasion, making them

more common there than home computers.

What to do with fake wood paneling: Remove or paint over?

By Tim McKeough The New York Times

Question: Some of the walls in our house are covered in fake wood paneling. Should we replace it?

Answer: In today’s market, fake wood paneling is never a redeeming feature, said Robert M. Nelson, an associate real estate broker at Brown Harris Stevens in Southampton, N.Y. “If it’s those 4-by-8 sheets of hard-

Jeff Sherman of Delson or Sherman Architects agrees that in most cases, fake wood paneling isn’t a good thing. ware-store paneling, definitely remove it,” he said.

To be clear, Nelson said, there are some older homes that have highquality wood-veneer paneling that

isn’t faux, and that’s not what he’s talking about. “Prior to the ’60s, there was paneling made with veneer, and that sometimes can be made to look really cool,” he said, recalling that he once

sold an Upper East Side townhouse that had veneer paneling in the library and dining room. “We did a pickling effect,” he said, “which made it look beautiful.”

But most faux wood paneling is a cheaper, more recent product that doesn’t have a top layer of natural wood. And tearing that out, repairing the wall and applying a fresh coat of paint will make the room look so much better and bigger, Nelson said.

Jeff Sherman of Delson or Sherman Architects in Brooklyn agreed that in most cases, fake wood paneling isn’t a good thing. “Ninety percent of the time, I would say rip it out,” he said. “It has a strong connotation of 1970s basement rec rooms.

Advice: Fake wood can have a campy appeal For a quick and inexpensive fix, Sherman recommends covering it with paint. He recently advised some clients to do just that in a house they were renovating in Rockland County, N.Y. “In this case, they liked the texture of it,” he said. “And it would have cost a certain amount of money to recreate the texture in real wood,” which wasn’t in the budget.

said, and you should end up with a look similar to real wood paneling.

“Depending on how your fake wood paneling was made, a lot of it has a wood-grain texture that will telegraph through the paint. It winds up looking something like beadboard, and can be very nice.”

Even left unpainted, fake wood paneling can have a campy appeal, Sherman said, recalling the Calvin Klein ads from the 1990s that used it as a backdrop. But buyers who want that look, he added, are probably few and far between. “In many ways,” he said, “it’s similar to how a pink flamingo appeals to some people.”

For a quick and inexpensive fix, Sherman recommends covering it with paint, but use a good primer because the paneling often has a plasticky top layer.

or Washlets — has spread internationally over time, and dozens of companies around the world, including Inax, Brondell and Kohler, are producing them.

Although most popular in Asia, basic versions are becoming standard in much of the Middle East and South America, where cleansing with water has long been preferred to paper. They are finally becoming more popular in Europe, where “boudoir paper” was introduced in the 19th century, and in equally paper-centric North America.

They have been a long time coming.

In the U.S., “bidets were always seen as European, and an oddity of the French,” said Rose George, author of The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters (Metropolitan Books, 2008).

In addition to general squeamishness about discussing the way we clean ourselves, some in the U.S. worried about the high-tech toilets’ requirement that a grounded electrical outlet be nearby, or thought the early control panels made the toilets look clumsy.

That said, the predecessor to modern high-tech toilets was actually invented in the United States, by Arnold Cohen of Brooklyn, who patented a pedaloperated seat he’d designed as a sort of sophisticated sitz-bath to help his ailing father. He founded the American Bidet Company in 1964, marketing his product as an “American way to bidet” and “the first wash and dry toilet.” But the subject was considered too vulgar for ads.

“I installed thousands of my seats all over the suburbs of New York, and we had offices all across the country,” said Cohen, whose company still exists. “But advertising was a next-to-impossible challenge. Nobody wants to hear about Tushy Washing 101.”

The place where his invention really took off was Japan. “I licensed to the Toto company and sent container after container to Japan,” said Cohen, whose patent later expired.

Toto came up with a more sophisticated version and by 1980 had trademarked the Washlet. Sleek, electronic and no longer marketed as primarily a bidet, it became available in the U.S. in 1989. But it took another 20 years for mainstream American vendors like Home Depot and Lowe’s to embrace

interested.”

There are roughly 1.5 million hightech seats in use in the United States, and millions more featuring more basic, non-electric, water-cleansing methods such as attachments and sprayers.

Although high-tech toilets still account for a scant 1 percent of toilets in the U.S., Brondell and Toto both estimate growth in the high-tech segment at around 15 percent or more per year, and significantly higher than that in the last two years. And this despite minimal advertising.

Toilets at Google’s California campus have been equipped with high-tech Toto seats, according to the company.

And Brondell’s Swash 1000 will be a standard option on Gulfstream’s new G650 jets, Scheer said.

“A lot of times it starts when somebody buys one and then has some friends over for a dinner party. Their guests give it a try and then ask, ‘Where in the world did you get that?’ ” said David Krakoff, head of sales for America of Toto USA. So far, the seats seem most popular Toto began marketing the Washlet in larger cities on the East and West toilet in Japan in 1980. Now 74 perCoasts, and in areas with large Hispanic cent of Japanese households have populations.

Fast route to successful gardening? Buy smart

By Dean Fosdick The Associated Press

Garden centers, with their vast collections of plant colors, sizes and shapes, can be intimidating to inexperienced buyers.

But you can become a discerning purchaser with a little homework and by quizzing the sales people as you shop.

“Usually, when shopping, I go early before the crowds and also before the staff are worn out,” said Jack McKinnon, a garden coach from the San Francisco Bay Area. “I like asking questions like, ‘What are you getting in next?’ ‘What is new?’ and ‘What is the most popular now?’ If it is early [in the season], you may learn a lot that puts you ahead of the masses in designs and trends.”

The most important factor in plant shopping, however, is the health of the plant, McKinnon said.

“As one nurseryman I trust says: ‘Don’t accept ugly plants.’

And he doesn’t give refunds.”

How can you tell if a plant is diseased, pest-ridden or beyond its prime?

“Look for any unusual brown, black or gray spotting on the foliage,” said Rizanino “Riz” Reyes, a landscape designer and owner of RHR Horticulture in Shoreline, Wash., a Seattle suburb.

“Any dead sections that are beyond just grooming to

Rizanino ‘Riz’ Reyes, a horticulturist, gives a rose bush some last-minute pruning before putting it in the ground. Avoid plants that need to be pruned for anything beyond minor cosmetic touches.

Even the best garden planning can be second-rate if you don’t choose the right plant assortment. Garden centers with their vast collections of plant colors, sizes and shapes can be intimidating places for inexperienced buyers, so work from a list and ensure you’re buying only healthy plants. PHOTOS BY DEAN FOSDICK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

make it look good should be avoided,” he said. Also avoid plants “that may be unusually red or sickly yellow looking.”

It’s a good idea to check plant roots at the nursery. It’s risky to buy plants that are root-bound, too wet or too dry, although that may mean removing them from the pot to examine them.

“If you politely ask a garden center staff member, any repu-

table retail center should stand by their product and allow you to do it, or they may do it for you,” Reyes said.

Other plant-buying-like-apro tips: u Shop by price and shop the sales. Find out when new plants are usually delivered and displayed. “Try to have a relationship with the nursery owner or staff,” McKinnon said.

u Bare-root, container grown, or balled and burlapped? “Bareroot plats have not had a chance to get root-bound in a pot, and you can see what you’re buying,” McKinnon said. “Both are definite advantages.” u Work from a plan. “I recommend having a general list so you avoid too many impulse buys on plants that may not end up getting planted or worse, get

forgotten,” Reyes said. u Annuals vs. perennials: “Perennials come back and can look great the year-round,” Reyes said. “Annuals provide traffic-stopping impact and remarkable color. You save and have the most incredible garden by integrating both.” u Buying tropicals and houseplants: “Take care in transporting these from the store to your vehicle as some may be very sensitive to the cold,” Reyes said. “Plant them right away or keep them cool but not frozen. Keep them watered and moist.”

u Choosing bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes: “Look for plump, firm bulbs,” Reyes said.

“Usually, the bigger the better.

Hardy bulbs like lilies are ready to plant as soon as possible. For dahlias and other tender bulbs, wait until after frost to plant or pot them up and start indoors.”
