However, under the sentence imposed by state District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, he will apply to rejoin the Drug Court rehabilitation program — from which he was kicked out in 2012 — and continue

Bataan Death March survivor who left the military in 1946 without receiving his medals was finally honored for his service Wednesday during an anniversary ceremony in Santa Fe. New Mexico National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Adair said he spent the past eight months trying to track down nine forgotten medals for World War II veteran Rosenaldo Lovato, 94, of Gallup, and he was able to complete the search in time to pin those medals on Lovato during an annual observance at the Bataan Memorial Building on Galisteo Street.

The ceremony was held on the 72nd anniversary of the surrender on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines to Japanese forces, when 75,000 U.S. and Filipino troops — including 1,800 soldiers from New Mexico — were forced to walk 65 miles. The prisoners often went days without food or water, and many were executed during the march. Others died later in Japanese prison camps.

Only half the New Mexico soldiers who survived the Bataan Death March returned home after war, and Lovato is one of the few remaining.

‘Missing’ gun cited in lawsuit turns up in Alaska

A surprise proposal from Mayor Javier Gonzales to close all the streets around the Santa Fe Plaza to vehicular traffic is already riling up downtown merchants, some of whom fought off similar traffic-blocking schemes instituted by City Hall in the past.

The proposal, which the administration leaked to an Albuquerque TV station Tuesday, was formally introduced by Gonzales during Wednesday’s City Council meeting.

“The intention obviously is to bring more people to the Plaza, creating a safer environment by limiting traffic that is directly around the Plaza so that families hopefully can feel that their children, when they’re in that area, can move around the Plaza safely,” Gonzales said about the proposed resolution, his first since taking office last month.

Three downtown merchants, including tour operator and former City Councilor Frank Montaño, who endorsed Gonzales when he ran for mayor, showed up at the council chambers Wednesday to express reservations about the idea.

“If you’re really trying to make the Plaza for Santa Feans, the last thing you want to do is deny Santa Feans the opportunity to cruise it,” Montaño said in an interview before the meeting. “It’s a time-honored tradition.”

Craig Allen, who is in charge of operations for Ortega Family Enterprises, which owns Ortega’s on the Plaza, said closing off all streets around the Plaza to automobiles would be a “great travesty”

SAN FRANCISCO — A confounding computer bug called “Heartbleed” is causing major security headaches across the Internet as websites scramble to fix the problem and Internet users wonder whether they should change their passwords to prevent theft of their email accounts, credit card numbers and other sensitive information.

The breakdown revealed this week affects a widely used encryption technology that is supposed to protect online accounts for a variety of online communications

and electronic commerce.

Security researchers who uncovered the threat are particularly worried about the lapse because it went undetected for more than two years. They fear the possibility that computer hackers may have been secretly exploiting the problem before its discovery. It’s also possible that no one took advantage of the flaw before its existence was announced late Monday.

Although there is now a way to close the security hole, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, said David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon. A small team from the Finnish security firm diagnosed Heartbleed while working independently

from another Google Inc. researcher who also discovered the threat.

“I don’t think anyone that had been using this technology is in a position to definitively say they weren’t compromised,” Chartier said.

Canada’s tax agency isn’t taking any chances. Citing the security risks posed by Heartbleed, the Canada Revenue Agency shut off public access to its website “to safeguard the integrity of the information we hold,” according to a Wednesday notice posted on its website.

Obama offers solace to nation at Fort Hood Three soldiers died, 16 wounded in rampage

By Josh Lederman

The Associated Press

FORT HOOD, Texas — President Barack Obama returned to the grieving Army post Wednesday where he first took on the job as the nation’s comforter five years ago, mourning with families and uniformed comrades of those killed during last week’s Fort Hood shooting spree. “We somehow bear what seems unbearable,” he said. “They were members of a generation that has borne the burden of our security for more than a decade of war.

Three soldiers died and 16 others were wounded in the rampage last Wednesday by another soldier, who

killed himself.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived late Wednesday morning at Fort Hood, where the camouflage fatigues of troops standing to salute his passing motorcade almost blended in with a patch of desert-like terrain. Flags were lowered to half-staff at the Army post, where Obama met with victims’ relatives before offering his public condolences.

Three battle crosses, helmettopped rifles above combat boots, stood in front of the platform, representing the three soldiers shot and killed — Sgt. Carlos Lazaney-Rodriguez, Sgt. Timothy Owens, Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Ferguson. Officials say they died in a shooting rampage by Army Spc. Ivan Lopez, who took his own life. Four of those shot remain in hospitals, officials said.

In brief

One child killed, 14 injured in day care crash in Florida

WINTER PARK, Fla. — A car smashed into an Orlando-area day care Wednesday, killing a child and injuring 14 others, at least 12 of them children, authorities said.

Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children wasn’t releasing any more information on the child who died, said Katie Dagenais, a spokeswoman for the hospital where the most seriously injured were being treated.

One person at the hospital was in critical condition and five others were in serious condition, Dagenais said.

Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Wanda Diaz said the Toyota Solara convertible had gone out of control after it was struck by a Dodge Durango, jumped a curb and smashed into the day care, breaking through the wall and into the building. That driver was not hurt.

Pistorius refuses to look at photo of slain girlfriend PRETORIA, South Africa — A shaken Oscar Pistorius refused to look at a gruesome photo of his slain girlfriend’s bloodied head Wednesday, telling a prosecutor through tears, “I don’t have to look at a picture. I was there.”

“It’s time that you look at it,” chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said during a fierce first day of crossexamination in which he doggedly pressed the double-amputee Olympian to “take responsibility” for killing Reeva Steenkamp.

The 27-year-old Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day 2013 shooting of Steenkamp as she cowered behind a locked toilet door.

Pistorius says he shot the 29-year-old model and law school graduate by mistake, thinking she was a dangerous intruder.

ISLAMABAD — A bomb ripped through a fruit and vegetable market on the outskirts of Islamabad on Wednesday, killing 22 people and wounding dozens more in a new attack in the Pakistani capital, which until recently had remained relatively removed from shootings and bombings that plague other parts of the country.

Confusion over who carried out the morning blast underlined one of Pakistan’s central woes — the sheer number of armed groups waging violence for multiple motives.

The Pakistani Taliban quickly denied responsibility, saying in a statement that it is adhering to a ceasefire for negotiations.

A separatist group of ethnic Baluch claimed responsibility, but the Interior Ministry called the Baluch claim “ludicrous” and said initial investigations did not suggest the group was involved.

More ‘pings’ raise hopes of finding Malaysian jet PERTH, Australia —Planes and ships hunting for the missing Malaysian jetliner zeroed in on a targeted patch of the Indian Ocean on Thursday, after a navy ship picked up underwater signals that are consistent with a plane’s black box.

Thursday’s search zone was the smallest yet in the monthlong hunt for Flight 370, and comes a day after the Australian official in charge of the search expressed hope that crews were closing in on the “final resting place” of the vanished jet.

Angus Houston, who is coordinating the search off Australia’s west coast, said Wednesday that equipment on the Australian vessel Ocean Shield had picked up two sounds from deep below the

surface on Tuesday.

An analysis of two other sounds detected in the same general area on Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane’s flight recorders, or black boxes.

“I’m now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not-too-distant future,” Houston said Wednesday.

Finding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders soon is important because their locator beacons have a battery life of about a month.

Meanwhile, 14 planes and 13 ships were looking for floating debris across the 22,300 square mile search zone, about 1,400 miles northwest of Perth.

Tuesday marked one month since Flight 370 vanished March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

Toyota, GM recalls push U.S. to near-record pace DETROIT — Big U.S. recalls by General Motors and Toyota have put the auto industry on a record pace as companies try to avoid bad publicity and punishment from an increasingly aggressive government.

On Wednesday, Toyota announced it was recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a spate of problems, including air bags that might not inflate. It’s part of a worldwide recall of 6.4 million cars and trucks.

So far this year, automakers have recalled about 9 million vehicles in the U.S. If that pace continues, the nation would break the record of 30.8 million recalled vehicles set in 2004.

25 dead, 100 wounded in two blasts in Homs, Syria DAMASCUS, Syria — Two car bombs exploded Wednesday in a government-held district of Syria’s battleground city of Homs, killing at least 25 people and wounding more than 100, state media said.

The blasts hit a commercial street inhabited mostly by members of President Bashar Assad’s minority Alawite sect in the central city, where government forces have been imposing a heavy siege on rebel-controlled districts.

Syria’s uprising, which began with largely peaceful protests against Assad’s rule in March 2011, has since evolved into a civil war with sectarian overtones, pitting predominantly Sunni Muslim rebels against an Assad government that is dominated by Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

Mudslide survivor saw homes ‘exploding’ The Associated Press

County, Alabama, said that Jose Manuel Martinez, 51, told investigators he carried out the crimes working as an enforcer for a drug cartel. Jett said they believe Martinez because of the details he gave investigators.

Martinez was arrested last year shortly after crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona and sent to Alabama, where he awaits trial on one murder charge. Once word got out, a steady stream of investigators from across the country came to question Martinez, Jett said.

Martinez has lived on and off in Richgrove, a small farming community about 40 miles north of Bakersfield. He’s now being held in Alabama, awaiting trial in a 2013 slaying, and he’s also wanted in Florida on suspicion of two killings there in 2006.

SEATTLE — Amanda Skorjanc was watching videos with her infant son when the lights in her home started to flicker and shake.

She looked outside and saw a terrifying sight: a massive mudslide crashing down the hillside, and nearby houses “exploding” from its Amanda force.

Skorjanc A neighbor’s chimney was barreling toward her door, so Skorjanc gripped her son tightly and turned away. “I held onto that baby like it was the only purpose that I had,” she said.

When it was over, the powerful river of mud and debris had laid waste to Skorjanc’s entire rural Washington community, killing at least 36 people and destroying dozens of homes.

Skorjanc and her baby were among only a few people pulled from the rubble alive. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old mother gave her first interview about the March 22 ordeal from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where she remains hospitalized.

Skorjanc is starting to recover physically after several broken bones and six surgeries, but she and her doctor acknowledged the emotional healing will take a very long time.

“If the wind blows too hard. If someone is pushing a bed past me, and it rumbles the floor a bit. It brings back the same sight over and over again,” Skorjanc told a pool of reporters from The Daily Herald, KOMO-TV and KIRO Radio.

When the earth stopped moving after the mudslide, Skorjanc was trapped in a pocket formed by her damaged couch and pieces of her roof. She had two broken legs and a broken arm.

Skorjanc said she called out to God to save her and her baby, and prayed rescuers would arrive quickly and find them. “I started to hear sirens — the most amazing sound I ever heard,” she said.

Skorjanc remembers hearing the voices of several men coming to her aid. They lifted her son from her arms and cut her from the debris.

One of her ankles was crushed and might not recover fully. She also suffered injuries to her face, including an eye socket. Her doctor said she will need to be off her feet for another 10 weeks, then likely will struggle to start walking again.

Skorjanc said she considered Oso home, although she grew up in Indiana. But she has no plans to return to the rural community 55 miles northeast of Seattle, not even for a visit.

Gender pay bill blocked

By Alan Fram

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans blocked a Senate bill Wednesday aimed at narrowing the pay gap between men and women, an election-year ritual that Democrats hope will help spur women to back them in this fall’s congressional elections.

GOP lawmakers said the measure could hinder employers from granting raises, or permitting flexible hours in exchange for lower pay, for fear of costly lawsuits.

For Democrats, the bill was the latest stressing incomefairness they are pushing this campaign season.

Republicans, whose campaign focus has been on an economy that is still recovering from a severe recession, said it was the Democratic bill would wreak damage.

“At a time when the Obama economy is already hurting women, this legislation would double down on job loss,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “It’s just another Democrat idea that threatens to hurt the very people it claims to help.”

Democrats pushed the same legislation the last two election years, 2012 and 2010, only to see Senate Republicans scuttle the measures.

The bill by Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., is aimed at tightening the 1963 law that made it illegal to pay women less than men for comparable jobs. “When I hear all these phony reasons, some are mean and some are meaningless, I do get emotional,” she said. “I get angry. I get outraged. I get volcanic.”

Wednesday’s vote was 53-44 for debating the legislation — seven fewer than Democrats needed to keep the bill moving forward.

Every voting Republican was against continuing work on the measure.

Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who usually aligns with Democrats, voted with the GOP. He said the bill ignored the reasons for the pay gap between genders, such as companies that make it hard for women with children to continue working. Women averaged 77 percent of men’s earnings in 2012, according to Census Bureau figures.

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. — Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-year-old boy with a “blank expression” stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him.

At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said.

The rampage — which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings — set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims.

Police shed little light on the motive.

The suspect, Alex Hribal, was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault.

Authorities said he would be prosecuted as an adult.

The attack unfolded in the morning just minutes before the

start of classes at 1,200-student Franklin Regional High School, in an upper-middle-class area 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

It was over in about five minutes, during which the boy ran wildly down about 200 feet of hallway, slashing away with knives about 8 to 10 inches long, police said.

Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the boy tackle and stab a freshman. He said he going to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed his face, opening a wound that required 11 stitches.

“It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead,” he said.

expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part,” Moore said.

“He wasn’t saying anything. He didn’t have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression.”

Assistant Principal Sam King finally tackled the boy and disarmed him, and a Murrysville police officer who is regularly assigned to the school handcuffed him, police said.

Doctors said they expect all the victims to survive, despite deep abdominal puncture wounds in some cases.

King’s son told The Associated Press that his father was treated at a hospital, though authorities have said he did not suffer any knife wounds.

“He says he’s OK. He’s a tough cookie and sometimes hides things, but I believe he’s OK,” Zack King said. He added: “I’m proud of him.”

“There are a number of heroes in this day. Many of them are students,” Gov. Tom Corbett said in a visit to the stricken town. “Students who stayed with their friends and didn’t leave their friends.”

He also commended cafeteria workers, teachers and teacher’s aides who put themselves at risk to help during the attack.

As for what set off the attack, Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said investigators were looking into reports of a threatening phone call between the suspect and another student the night before.

Plaza: Some merchants voice concerns

Hole: Security lapse went undetected for two years

Continued from Page A-1 to businesses.

“With the economic times that we’ve had, we all fight for sales,” he said. “When you cut down our traffic flow exposure, it hurts us all.”

John Dressman, who owns the Plaza shop called Dressman’s Gifts, urged caution.

“City Council in the late ’60s decided to take parking off the Plaza,” he said. “Within five years of taking that parking off the Plaza, the two pharmacies were gone. The grocery store was gone. The shoe store and the local clothing stores were gone. Personally, with my family, the flower shop was gone, so you ended up with a tourist shop. It forced downtown into a just-fortourists.”

Gonzales’ proposal, which he calls part of a “People to the Plaza” initiative, calls for closing Lincoln Avenue, San Francisco Street and Old Santa Fe Trail adjoining the Plaza park. The section of Palace Avenue in front of the Palace of the Governors has been closed for several years and would remain closed under the mayor’s proposal.

Gonzales had not publicly discussed the proposal until this week.

“It was never discussed during the campaign,” Montaño said Wednesday. “This isn’t a burning issue for Santa Feans. There’s a lot more important issues to deal with.”

The idea of prohibiting cars and trucks on the streets surrounding the Plaza isn’t new. Arguments in the past have included how such blockages impact traffic circulation in the downtown historic district when drivers are forced to use other streets to get around in the area.

During past experiments, delivery vehicles have been allowed go around barricades to reach businesses fronting on the historic square.

One longtime city official recalled that in about 1990, the city used portable wooden flower boxes to block streets adjoining the Plaza during the busy season between Memorial Day and Labor Day. After aesthetic complaints, the following summer the city tried using sections of concrete culvert as planters to restrict traffic. However, the traffic experiment was later dropped.

Newspaper archives show that in 1984, the City Council had voted to close two streets next to the Plaza, only to reopen them three months later following mixed reviews of the decision.

“We urge the Council to reflect that the Plaza is a place for our citizens to stroll, to relax and to shop. It is not a museum,” the Old Santa Fe Association, a historic preservation group, said in a statement at the time.

Montaño recalled that in about 2002, a couple of accidents in which pedestrians were struck by vehicles on streets just off the Plaza led to a discussion of not only safety in the downtown area but once again closing off streets. A committee was formed to study the issue. Montaño and Dressman both served on the committee.

“The decision that ultimately came out of the committee to recommend to the council was that we close off Palace Avenue on a full-time basis,” Montaño said, adding that the consensus on the committee was to keep the other streets open.

“Old Santa Fe Trail is a very important historic route of travel and, at one point, it was part of one of the first major highways of the U.S.,” he said.

For Montaño, the issue is personal, but not because he owns a tour van operation. “One of my fondest memories as a youth,” he said, “was cruising the Plaza in my 1971 bumble-bee yellow Dodge Charger with slapstick automatic transmission, 383 engine, big nice chrome wheels and rubber tires and air shocks so that the back end of my car was lifted up a little bit.”

The resolution introduced by the new mayor also calls for “additional parking opportunities” and an increased police presence downtown.

The mayor said City Manager Brian Snyder already has a new policing plan in place that will go into effect Saturday. “That’s already happening regardless of what happens through this resolution,” he said.

A news release said, “Mayor Gonzales has instructed the Santa Fe Police Department to increase its presence in the downtown area.

Beginning April 12, 2014, officers will cover downtown areas including the Paseo de Peralta Loop, Railyard and Plaza from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The goal is to provide a constant presence, ensure continued safety, guide tourists and help address important concerns currently raised by businesses, vendors and the public in these areas as people from all over the world visit our beautiful city.”

The statement said one task for police will be to educate the public on existing laws and enforce an ordinance governing street performers.

Gonzales’ resolution, which has yet to be voted on by the City Council, would direct city staff to study the economic impact of the street closures and “modifications to fee structures to make downtown parking more practical for the greatest number of residents and visitors and increase the use of underutilized parking facilities.”

The resolution also calls for staff to bring forward additional recommendations to enhance the Plaza experience, increase economic development and “ultimately bring people to the Plaza” within six months of the council adopting the proposed resolution.

“Santa Fe’s historic Plaza has been the commercial, social and political center of Santa Fe since 1610,” Gonzales said in a statement.

He called his initiative “an approach for residents and visitors to discover new means to use and enjoy downtown Santa Fe. Many cities have found that reducing vehicle traffic and creating pedestrian-friendly city centers benefits economies by improving the experience for shopping, dining, sightseeing and other activities.”

Block: Judge says an addict’s road to sobriety is long, hard Continued from Page A-1 reporting to a probation officer.

After the hearing, Block told a reporter he was diagnosed with leukemia last year and has been taking medication for it. “I’m feeling pretty good now,” he said.

Jennifer Armijo Hughes, a prosecutor with the Attorney General’s Office, told the judge that a probation officer had recommended Block go to a state facility called New Mexico Men’s Recovery Academy. However, Armijo Hughes said, the facility isn’t set up to treat patients suffering from leukemia.

Block, who had represented a PRC district that includes Santa Fe, pleaded guilty in late 2011 to six felony counts. Though he faced up to 41/2 years in prison, District Judge Michael Vigil, since retired, sentenced him in 2011 to probation and required that he get a job, pay child support and restitution, enter a treatment program, remain supervised with the help of GPS monitoring and maintain good behavior.

“Unfortunately, I am a drug addict,” Block told the judge Wednesday. “I’ve been a drug addict since 2006. I’ve suffered, I’ve relapsed.

I’ve tried and failed. But the last two years has been the closest thing to normal I’ve had in a long time. I mended relationships with my family and my children. But I did let my guard down.”

He was referring to his arrest Feb. 6 after a drug test showed he had cocaine and an opiate in his system. He initially told his probation officer that he had opiates in his system because he mistakenly thought a pill he had taken was Suboxone, a drug used to treat addiction, which Block has been prescribed.

When he was sentenced in 2011, Block also had acknowledged his struggles with addiction. At his sentencing, he told a judge he had reached his “bottom” and was ready to turn his life around. “And today, your honor, I am going to ask you that you give me the opportunity to walk back to the top, because I know I can do it,” Block said at the time.

Armijo Hughes asked the judge to revoke Block’s parole. “He is a grown man, a father, who has had numerous opportunities [for rehabilitation].”

She read a brief history of Block’s attempts at rehabilitation, including time at a detoxification facility in Rio Rancho — which was two years before he ran for office — and his hospitalization at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe in 2009, which was Block’s first year as a $90,000-a-year PRC member.

Armijo Hughes also noted that Block was thrown out of the Drug Court program in 2012, only three months after he was admitted. This was for texting a teenage girl in the Juvenile Drug Court program about prescription drugs.

The girl had asked Block by text if he could get Oxycontin. He answered “yes.”

“He had numerous opportunities to receive treatment,” Armijo Hughes said. “In Drug Court, he made no serious effort to comply.”

Block’s last recorded probation violation prior to the February arrest was in July 2012.

That was for consuming alcohol.

Marlowe Sommer gave a scathing lecture to Armijo Hughes for not knowing details of Block’s early experiences with rehab, saying, “I find it offensive” that prosecutors would be asking the judge to send a person to prison without knowing all the facts.

The judge said relapses such as Block’s are common with addicts. “That’s what addicts do,” she said. Later in the hearing, she said, “The road to sobriety is long and hard and requires constant supervision.”

However, Marlowe Sommer also said she was concerned about Block’s claim that he thought the opiate he ingested was Suboxone. That, she said, could show a lack of accountability.

Block’s lawyer, Tom Clark, argued that despite Block’s long drug problem, he never has had any record of violence. “Mr. Block is not a professional criminal, not a serial predator or a social parasite,” Clark said, but putting him in prison would be putting him among such people.

Clark later told a reporter that Block had a hard time finding a job after his conviction.

He started going to school at Northern New Mexico College in Española, working toward a degree in counseling. Block dropped his classes when he was arrested in February, Clark said, but he intends to start again in the fall semester.

In addition to going to school, Block has coached baseball and has spoken to youth groups about being an addict, Clark said. At Wednesday’s hearing, the judge told Block that, unlike most addicts, he is a public figure, so he should use that to set an example to young people struggling with addiction.

Clark said he doesn’t know how much Block still owes for restitution to the state. Court records show that he submitted a restitution plan in 2012. The state hasn’t filed any action claiming he isn’t complying with the plan.

Cited: Man owned gun legally Continued from Page A-1 several firearms weren’t accounted for.

One of the lawsuits refers to a handgun registered to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, which oversees the academy, that turned up in Fairbanks, Alaska, where an officer found it in a vehicle driven by a man who was stopped for driving on a suspended license.

Joseph E. Campbell, the lawyer representing the former instructors, said plaintiff Phil Gallegos “was shocked” when he got a call from a Fairbanks police official inquiring about the gun.

But the attorney general’s investigation found that the gun, which was later returned to its owner because there was no gun violation, was part of an April 2009 inventory exchange between the Department of Public Safety and the Lew Horton Distributing Co., a Massachusetts-based firearm distributor that provided the New Mexico agency with upgraded weapons.

A report shows the attorney general’s investigator was told in a January 2013 email written by a depart-

ment official that the gun was “part of a trade-in of service pistols during the Department’s transition to the new model Smith & Wesson Military Police pistols several years ago.”

It’s possible that the gun was later sold to a private citizen in Alaska, said Tom Mangum, a regional spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives based in Phoenix.

Mangum said rules vary from state to state, but owners aren’t always required to register legally owned weapons with the federal agency.

According to an ATF firearm trace report filed by police officials in Fairbanks, the gun was found when its owner, Saxon Quinn Erwing, was pulled over during a traffic stop in December 2012.

An officer who ran a license plate check on the car noticed Erwing was driving with a suspended or revoked license, Fairbanks Police Department Sgt. Gary Yamamoto said in a phone interview Wednesday.

According to a police report, Yamamoto said,

Erwing had notified the arresting officer druing the stop that he had a gun in the car. After the car was impounded and Erwing was booked into jail, the gun was taken to the police department’s evidence division, where it was checked against ATF’s firearm database to see if the gun was stolen.

That’s when Fairbanks police learned the gun’s last registered owner was the New Mexico Department of Public Safety. However, Yamamoto said, police eventually returned the gun to Erwing because the federal database didn’t indicate it had been stolen.

Campbell said among his clients’ allegations against the Public Safety Department and the academy, their claim about missing firearms is the “most frightening.”

However, the lawsuits don’t specify how many guns they claim are missing.

“One of these days, someone’s going to get shot with one of those missing guns,” Campbell said.

down comes just three weeks from Canada’s April 30 deadline for filing 2013 tax returns.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said in a statement Wednesday that it’s not affected by the security hole. “The IRS advises taxpayers to continue filing their tax returns as they normally would in advance of the April 15 deadline,” the agency said.

TurboTax, the most popular tax preparation software, also issued a Wednesday statement reassuring people that its website is now protected against Heartbleed.

Computer security experts are still advising people to consider changing all their online passwords.

“I would change every password everywhere because it’s possible something was sniffed out,” said Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer for Qualys, a maker of security-analysis software. “You don’t know because an attack wouldn’t have left a distinct footprint.”

Google is so confident that it inoculated itself against the Heartbleed bug before any damage could be done that the Mountain View, Calif., company is telling its users they don’t have to change the passwords they use to access Gmail, YouTube and other product accounts. More than 425 million Gmail accounts alone have been set up worldwide.

Facebook, which has more than 1.2 billion accountholders, also believes its online social network has purged the Heartbleed threat. But the Menlo Park, Calif., company encouraged “people to take this opportunity to follow good practices and set up a unique password for your Facebook account that you don’t use on other sites.”

Changing passwords on other online services potentially affected by Heartbleed won’t do much good, security experts said, until the problem is patched. The trouble-shooting software was released Monday.

So far, very few websites have acknowledged being afflicted by Heartbleed, although the bug is believed to be widespread.

“This is going to be difficult for the average guy in the streets to understand, because it’s hard to know who has done what and what is safe,” Chartier said.

Yahoo Inc. and Google are among the most prominent Internet services to say they have already insulated most of the most popular services from Heartbleed.

At Yahoo, the repairs have been made on a list of services that includes its home page, search engine, email, finance and sport sections, Flickr photo-sharing service and its Tumblr blogging service. In a Wednesday blog post, Google said it had applied the Heartbleed patch on its search engine, Gmail, YouTube, Wallet and Play store for mobile apps and other digital content.

Yahoo is advising its users to “rotate their passwords” and add a backup mobile number to the account. That number can be used to verify a user’s identity if there are problems accessing the account because of hacking.

Heartbleed creates an opening in SSL/TLS, an encryption technology marked by the small, closed padlock and “https:” on Web browsers to signify that traffic is secure. The flaw makes it possible to snoop on Internet traffic even if the padlock had been closed. Interlopers could also grab the keys for deciphering encrypted data without the website owners knowing the theft had occurred, according to security researchers.

The problem affects only the variant of SSL/ TLS known as OpenSSL, but that happens to be one of the most common on the Internet.

About two-thirds of Web servers rely on OpenSSL, Chartier said. That means the information passing through hundreds of thousands of websites could be vulnerable, despite the protection offered by encryptions.

Beside emails and chats, OpenSSL is also used to secure virtual private networks, which are used by employees to connect with corporate networks seeking to shield confidential information from prying eyes.

Heartbleed exposed a weakness in encryption at the same time that major Internet services such as Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and Facebook are expanding their usage of that technology to reassure the users about the sanctity of their personal data.

The additional security measures are being adopted in response to mounting concerns about the U.S. government’s surveillance of online activities and other communications.

The snooping has been revealed during the past 10 months through a series of leaked documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Fixing the Heartbleed flaw still doesn’t guarantee people’s online data wasn’t compromised, said Nathaniel Couper-Noles, principal security consultant at Neohapsis. “The horse may already be out of the barn, so to speak, if passwords or SSL keys were compromised before the patch was in place,” Couper-Noles said. “It may take a considerable amount of effort and money to re-establish a nominal security level.”

In a Tuesday post announcing it had installed the Heartbleed patch, Tumblr offered its users some blunt advice.

“This still means that the little lock icon (HTTPS) we all trusted to keep our passwords, personal emails and credit cards safe, was actually making all that private information accessible to anyone who knew about the exploit,” Tumblr said. “This might be a good day to call in sick and take some time to change your passwords everywhere — especially your high-security services like email, file storage, and banking, which may have been compromised by this bug.”

Same-sex marriage battle escalates to next level Ruling against ban in Utah up for review by federal appeals court

By Robert Barnes

The Washington Post

The nationwide legal battle over same-sex marriage escalates Thursday when a federal appeals court reviews the first in a string of unanimous judicial rulings that state bans on gay marriage cannot stand in the wake of last summer’s Supreme Court action.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver will be considering Utah’s ban on samesex marriage, which was struck down in December by a federal district judge in Salt Lake City.

It is a review soon to be repeated around the country, the intermediate step in returning a question to the Supreme Court that the justices avoided the first time around — whether marriage is a fundamental right that under the Constitution may not be denied to same-sex couples.

Both the speed with which the legal challenges are proceeding — pending appeals court action in this case and in Virginia could tee up the issue in time for the Supreme Court term that begins in October — and the change in public approval of same-sex mar-

riage have taken even gay rights groups by surprise.

Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, pronounced herself “really awestruck” at the change.

“It goes without saying we are in a quite amazing moment,” she said.

Proponents of the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and woman are looking to the coming appeals court reviews to blunt what Evan Wolfson, founder of the organization Freedom to Marry, calls the “irrefutable momentum” that the district court rulings have provided.

Ryan Anderson, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said he hopes appeals courts will recognize states have played the leading role in defining marriage and domestic relations and that such decisions should be left to the people and their representatives.

“You can be for same-sex marriage, you can be against samesex marriage,” Anderson said.

“But the Constitution doesn’t settle that question.”

U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby in Salt Lake City disagreed. In December, he became the first judge to strike down a state ban after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in June that found part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.

The majority said the federal

That ruling provides arguments for both sides.

On one hand, the opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy and joined by the court’s four liberals noted that defining marriage is traditionally a power reserved for the states.

Same-sex marriage is legal in 17 states and the District of Columbia. The rest of the states prohibit the marriages through state law or constitutional amendments.

There are lawsuits challenging those restrictions in all but five states — Alaska, Georgia, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. Appeals of judicial decisions regarding the bans are pending in five of the circuit courts of appeals into which the country is divided.

A randomly selected panel of three 10th Circuit judges will hear the Utah case and, a week later, the appeal regarding Oklahoma. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va., is scheduled to hear arguments May 13 reviewing Norfolk, Va.-based U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen’s decision striking down Virginia’s laws.

The 10th Circuit’s ruling would be binding in the states it covers: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming.

But New Mexico will not be affected. Its highest court already took note of the Windsor decision and ruled unanimously that the state must allow gay marriages.

Highest-paid Medicare doctors explain reasons

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar and Serdar Tumgoren

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — How is it that a few doctors take in millions of dollars from Medicare?

Explanations for Wednesday’s eye-popping numbers from Medicare’s massive claims database ranged from straightforward to what the government considers suspicious, as the medical world confronted a new era of scrutiny.

The long-sought release of Medicare data revealed just how much the program paid individual doctors in 2012. An analysis

by The Associated Press found that a tiny group, 344 out of more than 825,000 doctors, received $3 million or more apiece — a threshold that raises eyebrows for the government’s own investigators. Overall, about 2 percent of clinicians accounted for onefourth of payments.

Deputy administrator Jon Blum said Wednesday that Medicare will now take a closer look at doctors whose payments exceed certain levels. Blum told reporters he did not want to reveal those thresholds because that would tip off people trying to game the system.

“We know there is waste in the system, we know there is fraud in the system,” he said. “We want the public to help identify spending that doesn’t make sense.”

Blum said an even bigger goal in making the data public is to help find more cost-effective, quality-conscious pathways for America’s $2.8 trillion health care system. Medicare, a $600 billion program for seniors and disabled people, sets the tone.

In rural Hastings, Neb., ophthalmologist John Welch said the vast majority of the $9.5 million that Medicare paid him went straight from his practice to drug companies, for expensive medications used to treat patients with macular degeneration.

“I’m concerned that people in the community will get the wrong idea of how these billings reflect doctors’ income,” said Welch, who ranked No. 8 in Medicare payments. “Instead of blaming us, they need to have a serious discussion with the drug companies about lowering the

cost of these drugs. If they want us to stop taking care of patients, then tell us that — but don’t blame us for costs.”

As for No. 4 on the payments list, the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota says a large number of tests are billed under the name of its Dr. Franklin Cockerill, chairman of laboratory medicine and pathology. According to the Medicare database, Cockerill was paid more than $11 million.

“Dr. Cockerill is a salaried employee of Mayo Clinic and is not making big money from Medicare,” said spokesman Bryan Anderson. Medicare officials said multiple providers should not be using a doctor’s identification number to bill.

The American Medical Association has expressed concern that laypersons may draw wrong conclusions from large dollar signs next to a physician’s name.

But another case, from Michigan, suggests that following the money can turn up potential problems. Detroit-area cancer doctor Farid Fata, among the top billers, is awaiting trial on federal charges that he intentionally misdiagnosed patients and ordered unnecessary treatments. Fata says he’s innocent.

Overall, Medicare paid individual physicians nearly $64 billion in 2012.

AP picked the threshold of $3 million in payments for its analysis of individual doctors because that was the figure used by the Health and Human Services inspector general in an audit last year. The report recommended Medicare automatically scrutinize total billings above a set level.

Of the 344 top-paid doctors, 87 practice in Florida, a state known both for high Medicare spending and widespread fraud.

Rounding out the top five states were California with 38 doctors in the top group, New Jersey with 27, Texas with 23, and New York with 18.

Poll: Most taxpayers say filing is easy WASHINGTON — Struggling to figure out your federal tax return? You’re not alone, but you’re in the minority.

With the tax filing deadline looming next week, a majority of Americans say completing a federal tax return is easy, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.

The findings defy conventional wisdom in Washington, where politicians have made careers out of promising a simpler tax system. In another blow to advocates of tax reform, almost no one is willing to pay

higher taxes in exchange for a simpler code.

“If you’ve got the equivalent of a high school degree and you know how to do math, it’s very simple,” said Sara Thornton, a small business owner from East Granby, Conn.

Only 7 percent of those surveyed say they would be willing to pay more in federal taxes if the process of filling out a tax return were easier. Some 90 percent say “no, thanks.”

LOCAL NEWS County considers weight limit on road to Lamy Proposal could hamper plans to offload crude oil in village

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Santa Fe County commissioners are considering a weight limit on County Road 33 through Lamy that could hamper plans by an Oklahoma company to offload crude oil at a railroad spur in the village.

Many village residents oppose the plan because of concern about oil leaks into a nearby water well and heavy truck traffic on the narrow, two-lane road through town.

Santa Fe Southern Railway, which owns the spur, has said offloading trucks is in keeping with the site’s industrial uses in the past and is a way to make money for reopening a popular tourist train from Santa Fe to Lamy.

Commissioners on Tuesday voted 5-0 to

publish a draft ordinance that would limit the weight of trucks on County Road 33 to 26 tons. They’ll vote on the ordinance in May after another public hearing. The 52,000pound weight limit is designed to keep the road in good shape for 20 years, according to county staff.

Some staff members raised concerns during the meeting that increasing the weight restriction could open the county to a lawsuit over interfering with interstate commerce.

Pacer Energy Marketing has signed a lease to use the railroad spur in Lamy to offload crude oil to train tanker cars. The crude oil will be shipped by rail to refineries elsewhere. Tom Birkett, the company’s transportation manager, said the state’s gross weight maximum on state highways for 18-wheelers is 86,400 pounds.

The weight of the trucks depends entirely on how much crude oil they are carrying, Birkett said.

Santa Fe Southern Railway has made

repairs to the railway spur, but to date oil tankers haven’t started rolling through town and offloading crude.

Residents opposing the crude oil depot have formed the No Crude Oil In Lamy group. The next community meeting on the issue is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. April 17 at the El Dorado Community School gymnasium.

Scheduled speakers include people familiar with the “community rights” movement, which grew out of work in 1995 by Pennsylvania attorney Thomas Linzey, who co-founded the Community Rights Legal Defense Fund.

The organization hosts “Democracy Schools” and promotes community rights ordinances around the country, such as the one passed last year by the Mora County Commission to prevent oil and gas drilling.

Running on renewable energy Santa Fe joins nation in increasing generation of alternative power

SFCC settles whistleblower lawsuit filed by ex-worker Former director of early childhood center accepts undisclosed settlement during mediation

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Santa Fe Community College has settled a case with a former employee who sued for money damages, claiming whistleblower violations and breach of contract after she was fired in 2011.

However, the amount the woman will receive under the deal wasn’t immediately released.

The suit by Diane Kullman, who ran the early childhood development center at the college for almost five years and had worked at the school for about a decade, was to go to trial in about three weeks.

Instead, the college offered a financial settlement during mediation, and Kullman accepted.

“I feel like my name and reputation have been exonerated,” Kullman, 65, said in an interview.

Janet Wise, a spokeswoman for the college, said its policy is to release documents as soon as they become public record.

“A settlement has been negotiated in this matter, but the details of the agreement are being finalized among counsel for the parties,” Wise said in a statement.

Kullman’s attorneys said the settlement agreement contains a confidentiality clause intended to keep the financial terms secret for six months. Kullman herself declined to comment on the amount of money she will receive.

“She was an outstanding performer,” said John Day, Kullman’s lead attorney. “Under her tenure, the day care center got the highest rating in the country.”

He said Kullman’s troubles at work began when the college’s vice president for academics, Ron Liss, meddled in operations of the child development center.

Liss’ own granddaughter was a student at the center.

By Kullman’s account, Liss misused the power of his office to retaliate against her with stale allegations that nonetheless led to her firing.

Liss now is president of a community college campus near Cleveland, Ohio. He did not reply immediately to a message left at his school.

Today, Kullman works as a kindergarten teacher.

She said she was proud of her record at the college’s childhood development center because it was reaccredited with a 100 percent score while she was there.

She also said she had sunk about $8,000 of her own money into the center to make it better.

“It was a flagship early childhood program,” Kullman said.

AG backs fishing access in streams near private land The solar photovoltaic array at the city of Santa Fe’s wastewater-treatment plant covers 9 acres and consists of 4,800 panels.

ater this year, the Genoveva Chavez Community Center will have parking structures covered with solar panels that will provide a big portion of the power used by the popular, city-run recreation facility.

The 624-kilowatt, solar-power system is another sign that the city is joining the nation in steadily increasing use of renewable energy. Santa Fe now boasts a restaurant, a city wastewater-treatment plant, a city fire station, schools, businesses and dozens of homes powered or heated by the sun.

Wind, solar, geothermal and biomass combined still generate only about 6 percent of the total power in the United States — or 12 percent if hydropower is included. But that’s expected to hit 16 percent by 2035, according to a recent analysis by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The report says wind and solar generation has jumped recently, and more megawatts will be under construction in the year ahead.

Solar came in second to natural gas-fired power plants for all new utility-scale generating capacity added in 2013, according to the report — and provided almost 22 percent of all new energy capacity, compared to just 6 percent in 2012.

Tax incentives and reduced costs — solar photovoltaic modules cost half of what they did five years ago — are making renewables increasingly attractive to utilities and to people interested in producing their own electricity from their rooftops.

The more affordable cost is one reason why Shane Woolbright is getting ready to put solar panels on his Santa Fe home. As a former general manager of several municipal electric systems in Oklahoma, where natural gas was long the cheapest resource, Wool-

bright hasn’t always been an advocate for renewable energy. But he is one now.

“I’ve changed my mind about solar here,” he said. “I still wouldn’t do it in Oklahoma, but here it makes sense.”

A solar tax credit for New Mexico residents and businesses has been “very popular,” said Brian Johnson of the state Department of Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources. When the tax credit began in 2006, the department received only

100 applications, he said, but it’s received more than 1,000 applications in the last two years.

Louise Martinez, director of the Energy Conservation and Management Division at Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources, said a state solar and wind production tax credit has been so popular with power companies that they keep hitting the state’s cap on the incentive. “[Renewable energy] has grown quite a bit in the last five years,” said Gwen Bredehoft, an analyst with the Energy Information Administration. “A big chunk of the nonhydro renewable power is from wind.” The federal agency expects wind power capacity

Sportsmen organization applauds King’s nonbinding legal opinion

By Barry Massey

The Associated Press

Landowners can’t stop New Mexico sportsmen from fishing in a stream that crosses private property if the fisherman is wading or standing in the water rather than trespassing on adjacent land, Attorney General Gary King said Wednesday in a legal analysis applauded by a sportsmen group.

King reached the conclusion in a nonbinding legal opinion that could spark a fight over fishing access in a state where many prime trout streams, such as the Brazos and Pecos rivers, are bordered by private land and are small enough to wade.

King said fisherman can’t trespass to gain access to public waters, but that “walking, wading or standing in a stream bed is not trespassing.”

Existing state laws and regulations don’t directly address the question of the public’s right to fish in streams crossing private land, according to King’s office. State wildlife agency rules deal with trespassing by sportsmen.

Game and Fish Department rules prohibit fishing on private property without the landowner’s written permission when the land is properly posted with signs.

The agency, which is responsible for enforcing fishing and hunting rules, didn’t immediately respond to telephone calls and emails seeking comment on King’s legal analysis.

The New Mexico Wildlife Federation praised King’s opinion.

“This is great news for New Mexico anglers,” said Garrett VeneKlasen, the group’s executive director.

“This opinion reverses decades of actual practice,” he said in a statement, “and we all — sportsmen, landowners, the Game and Fish Department — need some time to assess the implications and figure out how to implement the changes. For starters, we’ll need to implement an intensive stream-steward program, widespread educational and outreach effort to anglers and landowners to prevent conflicts. This is not going to be an easy transition, but it is a red-letter day for New Mexico anglers.”

Report: Climate changes to result in bird, reptile shifts Researchers aim to provide ‘crystal ball’ for land managers in the Southwest

By Susan Montoya Bryan

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — As temperatures climb across the Southwest, researchers have found some species will win, but others stand to lose — and lose big.

The U.S. Geological Survey and researchers from The University of New Mexico and Northern Arizona University released a report this week that takes a closer look at some of the effects climate change is likely to have on species such as the desert tortoise and the pinyon jay.

The jay stands to lose nearly one-third of its breeding range, while other birds could lose as much as 80 percent by the end of the century. On the other hand, the tortoise is the only reptile studied that isn’t projected to see a decrease in suitable habitat.

The researchers wanted to provide a “crystal ball” for land managers in the Southwest so they could make more informed decisions as conditions become warmer and drier, and vegetation changes, said lead author Charles van Riper, a USGS ecologist in Tucson, Ariz.

“Everybody wants silver bullets, but this shows there are no silver bullets,” he said. “Each individual species is going to have its own response, and some are going to benefit from change and others won’t.”

The study focuses on ecosystems within the Sonoran Desert and the Colorado Plateau, but researchers also included the rest of the Western U.S., parts of which have been grappling with severe drought for years.

Birds and reptiles make up most of the region’s biodiversity, the researchers said.

What will make or break a species’ ability to live through a changing climate is whether they are generalists or specialists. Those creatures that nest only in certain trees or eat very specific foods will have the hardest time.

Those species that already deal with a wide range of temperatures in the places they live and aren’t picky when it comes to diet will benefit the most, according to the report.

The jay, for example, depends on piñon groves throughout the high desert and stands to lose between one-quarter and 31 percent of its breeding range as warmer, drier conditions wipe out more piñon trees. Other birds, such as the migrating Williamson’s sapsucker and the sage thrasher, could lose as much as 80 percent by the end of the century.

Land managers throughout the West already deal with numerous threatened and endangered species — from the lesser prairie chicken in Texas and New Mexico to California’s desert slender salamander. Environmentalists say the study’s findings show species that are common now could end up being just as rare as those protected under the Endangered Species Act due to changing climates.

“We’re seeing these new emerging threats,” said Collette Adkins Giese, a biologist and attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Originally, climate change wasn’t prompting listings.

There were other threats, but now it’s a factor that’s driving species toward extinction,” she said. “Studies like this that have these models will help us identify those species that are more susceptible.”

ALBUQUERQUE — A medical helicopter crashed while taking off from the roof of New Mexico’s only top-level trauma center Wednesday evening, but the three crew members aboard didn’t appear to be seriously injured.

The pilot was being checked out, and two other crew members were under observation after the crash at University Hospital in Albuquerque, authorities said. They didn’t immediately release any names or the extent of the injuries but said none appeared to be serious. No patients were aboard the chopper.

Federal Aviation Administration investigators were at the hospital Wednesday night to begin an investigation, agency spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash, but witnesses at the

In brief

Online school, board disagrees with AG King An official with a Farmington-based online school disagrees with a legal opinion by Attorney General Gary King that says the public charter school wrongly contracted with a private company to manage it.

New Mexico Virtual Academy Governing Council President Larry Palmer said Wednesday in a statement that the board had “absolute control of the oversight and management” of the school, which serves students statewide in grades 6-12.

Virginia-based K12 Inc. provides curriculum and administrative services.

Palmer said the board hires the school’s top administrator, who’s responsible for hiring teachers and others.

Palmer said a contract with the private company was revised last year.

King spokesman Phil Sisneros said the new agreement was examined for Tuesday’s opinion.

Charter schools are prohibited from contracting with for-profit companies to manage a school.

Uncut diamond stolen from history museum ALBUQUERQUE — Albuquerque police are searching for a thief who took a diamond from a secure case inside the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.

Museum officials say the uncut 3-carat diamond was taken from the museum’s volcano exhibit. Custodial staff reported it missing around 9:30 a.m.

Detectives have collected forensic evidence from scene.

The diamond had been kept in the case for the past 28 years.

The executive director, Charles Walter, says the museum provides educational experiences based on real specimens, and it’s a real disappointment that someone would steal from a museum.

The museum says it’s repairing the exhibit case and will reopen the volcano exhibit as soon as possible.

APD disciplines more officers in Varela case ALBUQUERQUE — Three more Albuquerque police officers have been disciplined for their handling of a child abuse call involving 9-year-old Omaree Varela.

Jara was suspended for 40 hours and must undergo training on child abuse

hospital said they felt a gust of wind at about 5:45 p.m. and saw the PHI Air Medical helicopter wobble as it started to take off from the helipad atop the sixstory building. It came to rest on its side, and the damaged tail section could be seen hanging over the edge of the roof.

“They were taking off and had already dropped off their patient when it happened,” said hospital spokesman Billy Sparks.

Images from TV news helicopters showed the roof around the wrecked chopper soaked as firefighters sprayed the tail section with water, but no flames were visible.

Jonathan Goss told the Albuquerque Journal he was in a dorm room and heard screeching. He looked out the window and saw black smoke pouring from the helicopter.

“In the movies, when a helicopter starts spinning out of control,” said Goss, 20, “it sounded exactly like that.”

Other witnesses said they saw a man rushing across the roof to the helicopter

and sprinklers dousing it before firefighters arrived minutes later.

The hospital’s fifth and sixth floors were evacuated as a precaution, Sparks said. Authorities were working to determine if there was any structural damage to the building.

It’s unclear how long the hospital’s helipad will be out of service, but Sparks said other hospitals have volunteered to help take incoming patients if necessary.

University and Albuquerque police closed roads around the hospital Wednesday night as the investigation on the rooftop continued. Inside the hospital’s emergency operations center, officials were preparing for a briefing for first responders.

The crash at the hospital, in a busy area just north of the university, comes just weeks after a news helicopter crashed at an intersection near Seattle’s Space Needle, killing both people on board. That crash prompted Seattle officials to review policies about permitting helipads.

of a group of American Indians who used their Native languages to outmaneuver the enemy during World Wars I and II, died last week in Oklahoma. He was 96.

Edmond Harjo died March 31 at Mercy Hospital in Ada, Okla., according to the Swearingen Funeral Home. Harjo’s nephew, Richard Harjo, said his uncle had a heart attack.

Harjo, a member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, traveled to Washington D.C. last November to take part in a ceremony where congressional leaders bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal, its highest civilian honor, on American Indian code talkers. The ceremony honored 33 tribes.

At the ceremony, House Speaker John Boehner recalled how Harjo, a member of the 195th Field Artillery Battalion, was walking through an orchard in southern France in 1944 and heard one of his fellow soldiers singing under a tree in the Creek dialect. A captain later heard the two soldiers talking, Boehner said, and immediately put them to work on opposite ends of a radio.

“Edmond and his brothers were at Normandy. They were on Iwo Jima.

They mobilized the simplest weapon language - to thwart the fiercest enemy free people have ever known,” Boehner said. “And they made a difference. After serving with honor, they did the honorable thing. They kept their service a secret. Even to those that they loved.”

Richard Harjo said there was some controversy following the ceremony because his uncle had been under the impression the medal was being presented to him, not the tribe. But the ceremony and honor still meant a lot to him, Richard Harjo said.

“He sought to do what was right and wanted that same recognition in return,” Richard Harjo said.

Charges dropped in N.M. corruption case ALBUQUERQUE — The New Mexico Attorney General’s Office has dropped charges against the three remaining defendants in a housing authority corruption case.

The case had been scheduled for trial next month in 2nd Judicial District Court.

The Albuquerque Journal reported Tuesday that Vincent “Smiley” Gallegos pleaded no contest to four misdemeanors including attempt to commit a felony/paying or receiving public money for services not rendered.

Gallegos is a former legislator who headed the now-defunct Region III Housing Authority. He was given a oneyear probationary sentence with conditional discharge in a plea agreement.

The Journal said Gallegos had been charged with multiple felonies involving fraud, embezzlement and conspiracy in connection with bond funds for housing projects.

Charges also were dismissed Monday against two attorneys and an accountant associated with the housing authority.

Police say suicidal shooter in custody ALBUQUERQUE — Albuquerque police say a suicidal man who fired gunshots into the air and who walked near a school at one point was taken into custody without injury Wednesday morning.

Officer Tasia Martinez says officers responding to a 911 call about a man threatening suicide and shooting a gun found him in an alley near a store and still armed with the gun.

According to Martinez, the man pointed the gun at himself as officers approached, but they were able to persuade him to put the gun down. He then was taken into custody.

Martinez says the incident occurred in the vicinity of McCollum Elementary School. She says the school was placed on a brief lockdown during the incident.

Immigration group rallies vs. enforcement LAS CRUCES — The Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office was the focus of an immigration-related protest.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that dozens of people protested outside the sheriff’s office in Las Cruces on Tuesday.

The Border Network for Human Rights says the sheriff’s office personnel engage in immigration enforcement during traffic stops — which the office denies doing.

The network presented the sheriff’s office with a petition urging various steps, including instructing deputies to not ask about immigration status or request Social Security numbers during routine traffic stops.

Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Kelly Jameson says deputies don’t ask such questions under those circumstances and don’t act as federal immigration agents.

Feds: More patients seeking mental health services The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Federal officials say the number of people in New Mexico getting behavioral health services through Medicaid was up, not down, following a state shake-up of the provider network last year.

A federal agency, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said a previously reported 23 percent drop in the number of people getting services reflected only parts of the state, not the entire state, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

The statewide data actually showed a 16 percent increase in the number of people served, the agency said in an April 3 letter to the state Human Services Department.

The figure of a 23 percent reduction in services was contained in a Dec. 24

cover letter from the federal agency that accompanied the final report on a federal team’s site visit to New Mexico in September.

State officials had disputed the reported reduction in the number of people served and asked that it be corrected.

“While some regional variation in the client census may exist, the statewide analysis clearly indicates substantially higher client counts,” Secretary Sidonie Squier wrote.

Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration last year cut off Medicaid funding to 15 nonprofits and replaced 12 of them with new providers.

Squier has said she froze the Medicaid funding after an audit by a Boston-based firm showed overbilling, mismanagement and possible fraud.

The April 3 letter didn’t specify the parts of New Mexico where the decrease occurred, but Human Services Department spokesman Matt Kennicott said it appears the reference may be to a 23 percent drop in the number of consumers seen by one of the Arizona providers, Agave Health Inc. Agave Health serves communities in a wide swath of Northern New Mexico, from Raton in the northeast to Los Lunas to the south and Grants to the west.

A state legislator who has criticized the administration’s shake-up of behavioral health providers said the latest development amounts to “arguing over ancient history.”

“The issue really is now — what’s going on right now — and that’s what we ought to be focusing on,” Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque.

Reader is worried about loner in-law

Dear Annie: My husband and I live in Minnesota. His 78-year-old stepbrother lives by himself in Florida. “Horace” has a part-time job and goes to church regularly, but otherwise sticks to himself. He has only a nodding acquaintance with the neighbors.

We are his only family. We are the ones who initiate phone calls and send cards on holidays.

He never calls us. We used to email, but he stopped using his computer. Horace is healthy, but I worry so much about what will happen to him when his health declines. He has no one nearby who can help. If he became incapacitated or died suddenly, we’d be completely in the dark as to how to proceed with his financial affairs. He did give us a copy of his living will, and we know where his burial plot is, but that’s it.

My husband and his brother both think there’s no sense in worrying about things until they happen. But by then, it will be too late.

I don’t know how to approach Horace about making plans for the inevitable. I once asked him to consider moving to Minnesota, but he didn’t respond, and besides, I doubt he’d actually come back to the cold after all this time. My husband won’t be retiring for another eight years, so it’s not as if we can take off and visit whenever. Where can we turn for help?

— Losing Sleep in Minnesota Dear Losing: You are kind to worry about Horace and smart to plan ahead, but there’s only so much you can do without his cooperation. Ask Horace whether he’d mind if you spoke to his neighbors to get their phone numbers and email addresses so you can contact them if he becomes unreachable. Perhaps Horace would allow you to make a copy of his house key in case of emergency. Visit his church and find out whether there is a program to check on the members who live alone. Also suggest to Horace that he leave financial information with his banker or lawyer.

This works particularly well if the items are pictures. They can simply scan them into their computer and give copies to as many people as might be interested.

The photos can be printed out if you want or put into digital photo frames. I love watching pictures of my past pop up and cycle through on these frames. And getting rid of clutter was an added benefit. — Getting Organized for Retirement Dear Organized: Folks often think they need to keep originals of everything, but unless your items are historically valuable and worth professional preservation, those family photographs will fade and old letters will disintegrate.

Keeping digitized records is a good idea, although people should create a backup copy (whether on a flash drive, CD or cloud).

Dear Annie: I have a different take on “Tears in Vermont,” the couple whose son was a recovering addict and had moved away with his girlfriend and wanted no contact with his parents. “Tears” said their son lived with them until he was 30. It sounds as if the parents are enablers and may have been part of the problem.

It’s no coincidence that after moving away, he’s turned his life around. If they truly love that son and have a choice between estranged and clean, or in contact but an addict, they should be happy with estrangement. — Seen It Before

Shelters to face kitten crisis Expert calls feral cats ‘one of the last major problems’ in animal welfare

By Sue Manning

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Wild kittens that will number in the tens of millions this year are starting to be born, and overtaxed shelters will be forced to euthanize most of the millions they receive.

It is a grim reality that a leading advocate calls “one of the last major problems” plaguing the animal welfare movement.

Scads of good-intentioned people who discover wild litters of baby cats will take them to shelters, which are overrun with the animals. The facilities turn to euthanasia when their limited resources are stretched even thinner by the massive influx of kittens and the babies’ required round-the-clock care.

But groups that trap, neuter and release feral cats and shelters that are able to open 24-hour kitten nurseries are doing their part to stem the deaths.

“The problem of community cats dying in shelters is one of the last major problems we in the animal welfare movement are tackling,” said Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, a leader in the no-kill movement that runs the largest animal sanctuary in the country.

He says “there’s a ways to go” but has seen a dramatic drop in deaths whenever his group connects a shelter with a local organization that traps, neuters and releases free-roaming cats.

Wild kittens socialized early enough can be great pets, his group says.

that time frame, the number of healthy, adoptable pets being euthanized has dropped from 17,400 to 9,075.

Feral kittens are the biggest obstacles left. Of 9,075 healthy dogs and cats killed in 2013 in Los Angeles, 5,200, or 57 percent, were unweaned kittens.

The same is true in varying numbers at shelters that euthanize across the country.

About 72 percent of all cats — neonatal, feral or pets — are killed in shelters, Robinson said.

Bunnies aren’t just for Easter Group working to educate adopters about house rabbits

By Ben Swan

For The New Mexican

Those who love rabbits as companion animals cringe when it comes to Easter — a time when many of these furry creatures promoted in baskets often end up in animal shelters after the bloom of the relationship has wilted.

“Every year, we see the same thing,” said Bill Velasquez, president of the New Mexico House Rabbit Society.

“Unwanted Easter rabbits will flood into animal shelters in the coming weeks and months.”

House rabbits — domesticated companion animals that are nothing like the wild breeds that populate New Mexico’s landscape — make wonderful pets, but require dedication, care and training like any other animal. Many people who receive a bunny as an Easter gift often understand little about the rabbit’s complex nature, care or dietary needs, he said.

“When the rabbit grows up and behaves like a normal rabbit, people tend to give up on them — much more easily than they would on a cat or dog,” Velasquez said.

Statistics back up the fears of the statewide nonprofit.

According to the International House Rabbit Society, most bunnies acquired as Easter gifts won’t survive their first year. And that’s a shame, said Iris Klimczuk-Massion, a member of the New Mexico House Rabbit Society and volunteer at the Santa Fe animal shelter, who was recently recognized for donating 500 hours of care for shelter rabbits.

“Rabbits are intelligent, have very individual personalities and can be loving house pets, but they are definitely not right for young kids, nor are they easy starter pets as commonly thought,” she said. “There’s a lot to learn about rabbits before bringing one home and they definitely are not for everyone.”

Recently, a domesticated rabbit was trapped in a Bishops Lodge Road neighborhood by a shelter volunteer after residents spotted it abandoned.

The rabbit, now named April, is currently at the shelter and will be available for adoption or be taken in by a rescue group if no one claims her.

The House Rabbit Society, and those shelter volunteers who specialize in rabbit care, work to educate potential adopters about the joys of bunny companionship — and what it takes to make that relationship work. They encourage people to consider adopting a rabbit — or better, a bonded

pair — but only when the potential adopters understand what they are getting into.

Homes, for example, may require a bit of “bunny proofing” before letting house bunnies run free. It’s natural for bunnies to chew on furniture, rugs, drapes and electrical cords. Offering bunnies attention and safe chewables and toys helps to distract them from unwanted destruction.

A cardboard box stuffed with hay makes an inexpensive playbox. Often, it’s best to start with a cage, where rabbits can learn to use a litter box and be safe.

Rabbits can live between 10 to 12 years and can get along with indoor cats and wellmannered dogs.

House Rabbit Society volunteers will be out in force around Easter time, offering information about the group and education about bunnies.

An estate sale and bake sale fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

April 19 at the Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art Gallery, 702 Canyon Road, offers an opportunity for education and support for the group.

The event, which will be held in the gallery’s backyard off Gormely Lane, also features two raffles for a deluxe Easter basket and a handmade quilt, both on display at the gallery starting April 12.

Gallery owner Deborah Fritz said she welcomed the opportunity to support rabbit rescue. Gallery director Palin Wiltshire, herself the guardian of two pairs of house rabbits, said, “It seemed fitting to hold this fundraising event at Easter, a holiday many people associate with rabbits. Santa Fe has a lot of animal lovers, and this event is a chance for them to support rabbit rescue by purchasing some of the fine items for sale or by purchasing raffle tickets for a chance to win a gorgeous hand-stitched quilt or a deluxe Easter basket.”

Raffle tickets for the handmade quilt to be raffled off on May 26 can also be bought online at: http://nmhrs.givezooks.com/events/5th-annualnew-mexico-house-rabbitsociety-quilt-raffle.

Santa Clara gets $1.9M in federal disaster aid Funding to help pueblo recover from flooding damage

By Uriel J. Garcia

The New Mexican

The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Wednesday it has approved $1.9 million to help Santa Clara Pueblo pay for costs associated with replacing four earthen dams and spillways damaged during flooding in a canyon on pueblo land in summer 2012.

The money will cover 75 percent of the $2.5 million project, FEMA said in a news release, and will cover architectural and engineering costs.

Approval of additional funding is pending.

The flooding in Santa Clara Canyon led to a major disaster declaration. The incident also affected the Mescalero Apache Tribe and Lincoln, Sandoval and Los Alamos counties. So

far, FEMA has awarded more than $10 million to eligible applicants under the disaster declaration.

According to a news release, the mission of FEMA’s Public Assistance Grant Program is to help state, tribal and local governments recover quickly from major disasters and emergencies declared by the president.

The program assists in the costs of debris removal, emergency protective measures and the repair and replacement of publicly owned facilities.

In this case, the money will be distributed by the state. But in November, the pueblo and FEMA signed an agreement that will allow the tribe to request federal disaster relief without going through the state government. This will speed the receipt of federal aid after major storms and wildfire on pueblo lands.

Santa Clara is the first federally recognized tribe in Region 6, which includes New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana

In brief

and Arkansas, to be allowed to make a direct request.

Santa Clara was hit by major floods again in 2013, once in mid-July and again in September of that year. The damage was severe because of the remaining scars from the 2011 Las Conchas Fire, which burned 17,000 acres of pueblo land, including the watershed.

Pueblo officials have said Santa Clara’s $30,000 emergency fund was depleted after the July storms. They estimated the pueblo needs about $50 million to recover from the latest round of natural disasters.

Santa Clara Pueblo got more good news this week on the financial front. The pueblo is scheduled to receive nearly $2.7 million in state and federal funds Thursday to replace and upgrade its 30-year-old wastewater-treatment system.

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

In addition to the cost of replacing the copper, Shultz said, he will have to pay an electrician to install the wiring. He also said he’ll have to pay for increased security.

FBI: Masked man robbed S.F. bank at gunpoint The FBI and the Santa Fe Police Department are looking for a man who they say robbed a First National Bank of Santa Fe branch, 516 W. Cordova Road, at gunpoint Wednesday morning.

According to an FBI news release, a 6-foot male in his mid-20s was wearing a mask when he walked into the bank at about 10 a.m. Wednesday armed with a handgun and demanded that all patrons get on the floor. The man then approached two tellers, demanding money.

They gave him an undisclosed amount of cash before he fled from the bank.

The release says the suspect wore a dark blue or black hooded sweater with a white logo and the words “Santa Fe.” He also was wearing maroon sweatpants, white gloves, sunglasses and white tennis shoes.

Authorities ask that anyone with information about the suspect or the robbery call the Albuquerque FBI office at 889-1300. The FBI may pay a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

Thieves steal wire and damage unfinished home A homebuilder said thieves ransacked one of his half-finished houses in south Santa Fe this week and took copper wiring while causing $10,000 in damage.

Zachary Shultz, owner of Zachary Homes, said the value of the missing wire is “minimal” compared to the damage done to the home in the Villas Di Toscana gated subdivision, which is near the intersection of Governor Miles Road and Camino Carlos Rey. A police report said the theft occurred between 4 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Shultz, who has been building homes in the Santa Fe area since the 1990s, said it was the first time someone has entered one of his homes under construction and stripped out the wiring.

However, he said, copper pipes in the basement were untouched. He suspected the thieves didn’t have the tools to remove the pipes.

Man, 47, to face lesser charges for bar incident A man accused of wielding a theatrical-prop pistol in a downtown Santa Fe bar will face a reduced charge for what he called an attempted prank.

Police arrested Jimmy Cullins, 47, of Las Cruces on April 2 and booked him on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he was accused of pointing the fake six-shooter at an employee of Cowgirl BBQ. Online court records indicate the District Attorney’s Office has since amended the charge to a petty misdemeanor count of assault. The records also show that Cullins has pleaded not guilty.

A Santa Fe Police Department report says Cullins walked into the business at 319 S. Guadalupe St. with what appeared to be a Westernstyle revolver. He asked for a certain employee but was told by a manager that person was unavailable.

The report says the manager then asked Cullins to leave, but instead, he allegedly pointed the handgun at the manager, who didn’t know it wasn’t a real gun. The manager disarmed Cullins and called police. Cullins left the bar, the report states, but was arrested a short time later by police.

Cullins told the officers that he was only trying to play a joke.

voiced opposition to King’s legal opinion and said it would ask for clarification from the Game and Fish Department.

“This opinion goes against the grain of private property rights in New Mexico,” Chad Smith, the organization’s CEO, said in a statement. “New Mexico’s farmers and ranchers should be able to post no trespassing signs and expect that those will be honored by hunters and fishermen across the state.”

ALBUQUERQUE — The U.S. Department of Justice is set to release its report on the troubled Albuquerque Police Department and could mandate federal oversight and reforms costing millions of dollars.

The announcement expected Thursday will follow a more than yearlong investigation into possible civil rights violations and excessive use of force. The police agency has been decried for 37 shootings by officers since 2010, more than 20 of them deadly.

Staff and wire reports

General Stephen Farris and signed by King, landowners — even if they own the streambed and surrounding land — can’t prevent fishing in streams and rivers because the water belongs to the public.

“The public’s right to use public waters for fishing includes activities that are incidental and necessary for the effective use of the waters. This includes walking, wading and standing in a stream in order to fish,” the opinion concluded.

A nearly 70-year-old state Supreme Court ruling established the right to fish from a boat on a public lake bordered

by private land, and King’s office drew on that in reaching its conclusion about fishermen who are wading in a stream.

“A private landowner cannot prevent persons from fishing in a public stream that flows across the landowner’s property, provided the public stream is accessible without trespass across privately owned adjacent lands,” according to the attorney general’s opinion.

King stressed that the opinion did not deal with fishing access to streams crossing federal or tribal lands.

OPINIONS

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849 Robin M. Martin Owner

COMMENTARY: CATHERINE RAMPELL

Robbing the poor is nothing new L iberals are shocked (shocked!) that Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and his co-partisans would consider cutting Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants and other programs that serve the neediest Americans. They have accused Ryan of trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor.

But long before Ryan unveiled his “Path to Prosperity,” politicians of both parties had been redistributing government spending away from the truly destitute and toward everyone else.

In the past few decades, the federal social safety net has gotten lusher and, on its face, more generous. Spending on the major safety-net programs nearly quadrupled between 1970 and 2010, and that’s after adjusting for inflation and population growth, according to calculations from Robert A. Moffitt, an economics professor at Johns Hopkins University. He included both “means-tested” programs that are explicitly intended to combat poverty (such as food stamps, Medicaid, housing aid, Head Start, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the earned-income tax credit) and social insurance programs (Medicare, Social Security, disability insurance, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance).

There have, however, been winners and losers during that massive expansion.

Since the mid-1990s, the biggest increases in spending have gone to those who were middle class or hovering around the poverty line.

Meanwhile, Americans in deep poverty — that is, with household earnings of less than 50 percent of the official poverty line — saw no change in their benefits in the decade leading up to the housing bubble. In fact, if you strip out Medicare and Medicaid, federal social spending on those in extreme poverty fell between 1993 and 2004.

Then, during the Great Recession and not-so-great recovery, automatic stabilizers kicked in and Congress passed new, mostly tempo-

OUR VIEW

For dropouts, another path

C rary, stimulus measures (such as unemployment-insurance benefit extensions). As a result, spending on the social safety net increased sharply and this time for a broader swath of Americans, including the very poor, “near-poor” and middle class. But it still rose more for people above the poverty line than it did for the very poor, Moffitt found.

Other public policies not captured by Moffitt’s calculations have also effectively diverted funds away from the very poorest Americans. Consider the rise of “merit-based,” non-means-tested financial aid at public colleges or the increasing number of tax breaks and loopholes known as “tax expenditures,” more than half of which accrue to the top income quintile.

So why are we robbing the poor to pay the middle class (and rich)?

To some extent, demographics are to blame. Social Security and Medicare are the biggest safety-net programs in raw dollar terms, and both are awarded to elderly Americans regardless of financial need, though Social Security is modestly progressive. As the country ages and health costs

rise, these programs get bigger — and end up crowding out other spending that specifically targets the very poor.

Federal disability rolls have also grown dramatically in recent decades. As with Medicare, people don’t have to prove they’re poor to receive Social Security Disability Insurance, so the expansion of SSDI has disproportionately benefited middle-class and “near-poor” families, at least relative to other programs that do means-test.

But ideology has played a major role in the reallocation of safety-net spending, too.

Since the early 1990s, politicians have deliberately shifted funds away from those perceived to be the most needy and toward those perceived to be the most deserving.

The bipartisan 1996 welfare reform — like the multiple expansions of the earnedincome tax credit — was explicit about rewarding the working poor rather than the non-working poor. As a result, total spending per capita on “welfare” slid by about two-thirds over the past two decades, even as the poverty rate for families has stayed about the same. Many welfare

reformers would consider this a triumph; if you believe many of the poorest families are not out of work by choice, though, you might have a more nuanced view.

Meanwhile, there is probably greater political cover for expanding the safety net for the middle class (that is, the non-destitute). As mid-skill, mid-wage jobs have disappeared — what’s known as the hollowing-out of the labor market — middle-class families have lost ground and are demanding more government help. These middle-class families, alongside the elderly, are also substantially more likely to vote than are the poor. The feds have whittled away at welfare, and (almost) nobody said boo; touch programs that the middle class relies on, and electoral retribution may be fierce.

On some level, politicians of both parties have understood this political calculus for decades. Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” just takes it to its logical conclusion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

City does need jobs, responsible businesses

A

u contraire, Mary Haynie, Santa Fe does need Costco (“Grocery saturation,” April 8). Many people from Santa Fe drive to Albuquerque just to go to Costco. This is because Sam’s (WalMart) is not providing anyone with a good corporate business model. Wal-Mart is the largest business in the world, owned by one family (the Waltons) and benefiting only one family: the Waltons. Many of WalMart’s employees are on food stamps and most have no insurance benefits (thank heavens for “Obamacare”). Earning only $12,000 a year does not support a family, much less a single person. Costco, however, is a responsible employer providing a living wage, good benefits and insurance, and enjoying very little employee turnover.

It’s essentially a moral/ethical issue.

Useful bags If you object to your newspapers being protected from inclement weather by a plastic bag, please call your customer service office and request that your carrier deliver your paper as is, regardless of the weather. I personally find these bags

The past 100 years

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: April 10, 1914: Advertising Manager Smith of the Sears Roebuck Company of Chicago came to Santa Fe to make arrangements with the postal authorities about the semi-annual shipment of catalogues, which are to be distributed from this city over the Southwest. Mr. Smith told Postmaster Pflueger that the shipment would consist of 12,350 catalogues weighing four pounds each and another of the same six months later. 24,700 catalogues are sent from Santa Fe, which is found the “most central point” for the southwest. Sears Roebuck did business amounting to $93,000,000 in the year 1913.

extremely useful for picking up after my dog (although I cannot remember the last time I received one), and I do not want to have to dry out my newspaper before I can read it. For the record, I don’t have an issue with the plastic bag ban, but I do have a problem with the dismally low amount of recycling here and the lame city recycling program.

Lively bookstores When recommending ways to purchase books, it is important to mention our won-

derful local bookstores that continue to do so much to enrich our community in many ways. Not only do Collected Works Bookstore, Op Cit Bookstore and Garcia Street Books, as well as others, provide us with the opportunity to browse before buying, they hold author book talks and signings and workshops, and provide places to meet as a community. Buying online may be cheaper in dollars, but in the end, the costs are a lot higher than one might think.

Without our local bookstores, Santa Fe would be a much less vibrant, interesting, and lively place in which to live.

ontroversy over a proposed Santa Fe Public Schools initiative to round up dropouts and help them receive a regular high school diploma is not going away. After initial opposition from the teachers union and one school board member, state legislators are stepping in to ask for the attorney general’s opinion on whether the arrangement violates the New Mexico Constitution and its strict rules about sending public money to private businesses.

The program, proposed by Santa Fe schools Superintendent Joel Boyd and approved by the Board of Education, does contract with a private company to do the heavy lifting of helping dropouts return to school and receive a diploma. The question in the minds of critics is whether hiring an out-of-state company to do the work is a step too far in privatizing education in New Mexico. As Superintendent Boyd points out, though, the Engage Santa Fe program is not that different from a contract Santa Fe Public Schools has with a nonprofit to provide high school equivalency diploma services for the district. We believe the constitution allows the district to contract for services, especially when it lacks in-house resources. For a more definitive decision, a court would have to step in, of course.

This does not mean we favor privatizing the state’s school system. However, we don’t believe that hiring a service is equivalent to creating a private school funded with public dollars. We also believe that as an experiment in trying to graduate the students who did not succeed in traditional school, Engage Santa Fe is worth attempting.

What would happen — should all go well — is this: The Florida company, Atlantic Education Partners, comes to Santa Fe and begins signing up recent dropouts (as well as some current students who might be planning to drop out).

Those students, supervised by certified teachers, make up lost credits. They graduate. All of this is paid for, as is all public education, through the Public Education Department’s per-pupil funding allocation. The district serves to pass along state money to the private company. The program costs Santa Fe nothing.

Rather than creating a dropout recovery program from scratch, reallocating current budget money and training people to take over, the company does the work. Superintendent Boyd himself is going to supervise the school, saving the costs of an administrator. In a perfect world, we would prefer that he not know one of Atlantic’s principals, Joseph Wise (the two men worked together in Florida). But Boyd has disclosed that relationship in a transparent fashion.

Yet some adults dislike the proposal. NEA-Santa Fe President Bernice García Baca has said in a statement: “Engage Santa Fe does sound wonderful but for one major point. [The district] is hiring a Florida-based, startup forprofit company … to provide this education instead of empowering and funding SFPS employees to develop a program.”

Frankly, if our district and its employees were doing the job of keeping students in school, we wouldn’t need Engage Santa Fe. We understand the initiative might not work. But is it worth trying? Absolutely. Santa Fe has a graduation rate of 64.2 percent, compared to what already is a fairly low state average of 70 percent. We are not doing a good job as a community of helping students receive a traditional high school diploma. That’s why Boyd is looking for other ways to reach students.

That Reps. Jim Trujillo and Luciano “Lucky” Varela want the attorney general to examine the contract is fine. A second and third look never hurts. Both men, like the teachers union, have the interests of Santa Fe schoolchildren at heart. Anyway, Trujillo thinks an attorney general examination will take months (and an opinion, by the way, does not have force of law.) By then, we should know if Engage Santa Fe works.

Any of those union folks who want to take over the dropout recovery initiative — it’s not really a school — can use that time to put together their own dropout recovery program. Don’t worry about district empowerment. Try selfempowerment. Instead of just opposing Engage Santa Fe, come up with something better. That way, everyone — especially students — will win.

Buh-bye, beer garden.

Adios, announcer man.

For the Pecos League and its biggest draw, the Santa Fe Fuego, this summer promises to be one of those out-withthe-old, in-with-the-new baseball seasons.

The Ultimate Warrior put on his signature airbrushed trench coat, shook the white ring ropes, and, for a few fleeting minutes, the wrestler billed as hailing from Parts Unknown was back home in the wrestling ring.

“Speak to me, Warriors!” he bellowed on Monday night’s Raw, back on TV after an 18-year absence.

He soaked up the applause from a New Orleans crowd chanting his name and pulled out a neon mask that replicated the face paint he wore in the ring for every main event battle with Hulk Hogan and Randy

The mystery, anticipation of the Masters

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A quick stroll across the manicured landscape of Augusta National afforded a glimpse of why this Masters is so hard to figure out.

On the putting green in a quiet moment of practice was 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, one of a record 24 newcomers who has every reason to believe he can win. On the golf course for the final day of practice was Webb Simpson, a former U.S. Open champion and one of 21 players who have captured the last 24 majors.

And under the oak tree outside the clubhouse was Miguel Angel Jimenez, the 50-year-old Spaniard trying to make sense of it all.

He recalled his first Masters in 1995, when Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal shared secrets to Augusta National, such as keeping

here was a duel Wednesday between two teams that are still trying to put together their best game.

The Las Vegas Robertson Cardinals and St. Michael’s Horsemen have a lot of similarities.

Both teams have similar records, they have good pitching and defense; plus they are still trying to correct all the mental mistakes.

Yet it was the Horsemen who were a little better at those little things, which helped them to a 4-2 win in a nondistrict game at Christian Brothers Athletic Complex.

The Cardinals (10-6 overall) tied the Horsemen (12-5) in the fifth and sixth innings, but they allowed St. Michael’s to score two runs in the bottom of the sixth to put themselves in a late-game hole.

The late lapse by the Cardinals wasn’t related to anything physical and fundamental, but to a mental problem that has plagued them all season.

“We’re struggling with attitudes,” Robertson

We have to play a little smarter and a little harder. At “ this point, it’s between the ears. The more disciplined

team is going to win every time, and we haven’t found that part of baseball yet.” Kenneth Sandoval, Las Vegas Robertson head coach head coach Kenneth Sandoval said. “In all honesty, we’ve been struggling to put seven innings together. We have to play a little smarter and a little harder. At this point, it’s between the ears. The more disciplined team is going to win every time, and we haven’t found that part of baseball yet.”

For the Horsemen, their biggest problem is staying level-headed and simply get on base as opposed to swinging for the home run. St. Michael’s left 12 runners on base, while Robertson only left three.

“I think our kids are putting a little too much pressure on themselves,” St. Michael’s head coach David Vigil said. “They just need to relax and drive it up the middle. The hard part of coaching is getting them to relax.”

St. Michael’s opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning when Robertson pitcher Joel Silva walked Andres Lujan with bases loaded to bring in Marcus Pincheira-Sandoval.

Robertson countered when Keanu Baca raced home on a wild pitch by Matt Smallwood in the top of the fifth. St. Michael’s took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the frame when Isaac Olivas brought in Lujan with a single to left field. The Cardinals neutralized that run in the next frame when J.R. Gonzales scored on another wild pitch from Smallwood.

In the sixth, St. Michael’s benefited from a Robertson miscue, and Josh Castañeda scored

Gordon said some teammates at the Amherst, Mass., school probably have known since last summer. He sat out the previous season after transferring from Western Kentucky to be closer to his family in New Jersey, where he played at high school powerhouse St. Patrick.

“They could sense it because I kind of separated myself from the team,” Gordon said. “I didn’t really hang out with them as far as going to parties and stuff. I really kind of kept to myself, kept quiet. We went on road trips — I’d sit by myself and they were always wondering why. I did it because I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where maybe something happens and they end up finding out.

Then what? I’m not going to know how to handle the situation.”

St. Michael’s Isaac Olivares, left, slides into first base as Las Vegas Robertson’s Dominic Lucero gets the out during the top of the fifth inning of Wednesday’s game at St. Michael’s. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Games: St. Mike’s chemistry improving Continued from Page B-1 on Michael Salazar’s wild pitch to give the Horsemen a 3-2 edge. Lujan brought in Carlos Acosta in the same at-bat on a double to left field for the final run.

St. Michael’s had a total of 11 hits, but Vigil believes his players need to be more disciplined at the plate and realize they are not power hitters — they have zero out-ofthe-park home runs through 17 games. But he was pleased with the balance in hitting on Wednesday. The last four batters in the lineup combined for six hits, whereas the top four had five.

“Our bottom of the order came through real well for us today,” Vigil said. “Eventually, we’re going to put it all together where the top is hitting consistently and the bottom is hitting consistently.”

Sandoval saw some improvement in his team as well, but it didn’t have anything to do with skill.

“We didn’t have a lot of talking with our mouths, and we usually do,” Sandoval said.

“I’m proud of the kids because they kept it clean. That’s a big step.”

While both teams know they have some issues to address, especially on the mental side, both are confident that they can be

corrected in due time.

“I believe we’ll be OK down the stretch, but we have to stay mentally strong,” Sandoval said.

As for St. Michael’s, its composure is starting to come around as a result of an improving team chemistry.

“We’re starting to come together as a team,” said Smallwood, who threw a complete game and had six strikeouts, four hits and no earned runs. “Everyone is joking and laughing in the dugout and we’re all loose, but at the same time we all know what we need to do and execute that.”

Fuego: Moore decides to remain with team Rodney Tafoya, the 49-year-old Santa Fe pitcher, has been signed by the Alpine Cowboys of the Pecos League.

Continued from Page B-1 back more years than the life spans of most of his future teammates.

“You know me,” Tafoya said. “I’m just happy to still be pitching. It’s a great deal for me. The age thing; when I was pitching in Mexico I had guys on my team that were 18, guys who said their dads played with me 20 years ago. It was funny.”

Perhaps the biggest change for the Fuego is the one that never actually happened.

Manager Bill Moore recently announced that he will return for his third season.

He had originally planned to take over the league’s expansion club in Bisbee, Ariz., but changed his mind a few weeks ago. He said the proximity to his home in Mesa, Ariz., made Bisbee an attractive alternative, but said in the end Santa Fe had more to offer.

“From a travel standpoint, it’s actually easier to be in Santa Fe,” Moore said. “With the Northern Division set up the way it is, I’ll spend more time playing at home with shorter trips than if we’d been in Bisbee.

Nothing’s close to Bisbee. The shortest road trip is Alamogordo, and that’s five hours away.”

Aside from that, he said the league’s age-limit rule gives him a chance to corner the market on younger talent. He already has 28 players committed to attend spring

training in early May. The final roster has to be pared down to 22 in time for the May 14 opener against Taos.

“I actually like it because the rookies, they haven’t been out of the college game long enough to start their own way of thinking that makes it harder for them to adapt to my system,” Moore said.

The league has expanded by two teams, giving it a total of 10. Dunn said the ideal number is 12, thus avoiding intradivisional play as much as possible.

For now, the Northern Division has Santa Fe, Taos, Raton, Las Vegas and Trinidad (Colo.). The Southern Division is home to Alpine, Roswell, White Sands and the two expansion teams in Arizona, Douglas and Bisbee.

The Fuego will again play an imbalanced schedule with 42 home games and 28 on the road. The only games out of division they’ll play are six home dates against Alpine, meaning 64 of the 70 regular sea-

son games will be against Northern rivals.

Santa Fe will again host the all-star game.

It is scheduled for June 30 at Fort Marcy Ballpark.

Speaking of Fort Marcy, the fenced-in beer garden that was as loved as it was hated is now a thing of the past. Patrons can purchase a beer and sit anywhere they choose.

While attending games they can also take in the sounds of a new public address announcer as die-hard Fuego fan Bo Brumble has taken over those duties.

Team president Yvonne Encinias said Brumble has researched the styles of several announcers and is ready to become the unofficial voice of the club.

Encinias is also enlisting the help of the public to help house the players this summer. About half of the team has already found homes, but host families are still needed.

“Hosts are not required to feed or chauffeur the players around, nothing like that,” Encinias said. “All we ask is a place to sleep and a place to prepare food. They’re even willing to do housework or take care of someone’s house if they’re gone for the summer.”

If interested, contact Encinias at 204-2093 or send her a message through the team’s Facebook page.

UMass: Professional athletes express support via Twitter Continued from Page B-1 Gordon held off making the announcement to keep from diverting attention from the NCAA Tournaments, which ended Monday night for the men and Tuesday night for the women.

“I’ve been getting tons and tons of support,” Gordon said. “I’m barely getting anything negative.”

That may be coming, but he’s confident he can handle it.

“I’m not too concerned about any away games in terms of the crowd. I have a tough skin for that,” he said. “They can say whatever they want.”

During the year he sat out, he considered giving up the sport but changed his mind “just because I don’t want to feel like I can’t be myself because our society doesn’t accept it,” Gordon said. “I want to be able to live my life happy and play the sport that I love.”

And help others who haven’t come out.

“I just hope I can give kids in general the confidence to just come out and live their lives and be free,” he said.

Collins made a trailblazing announcement last April when he came out in an interview with Sports Illustrated. In February, he became the first openly gay male athlete in the four major North American pro sports leagues when he signed with the Brooklyn Nets.

He tweeted that he was “so proud” of Gordon: “Another brave young man who is going to make it easier for so many others to live an authentic life.”

Sam, projected as a middle-round prospect in next month’s NFL draft, came out in interviews with ESPN, The New York Times and Outsports in February after his college career ended.

Sam also tweeted congratulations to Gordon: “You have so many in your corner and we’re all proud and rooting for you.”

Current NBA players Kyrie Irving of Cleveland and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of Charlotte played with Gordon in high school.

“I thought it was a great day for him and his family,” Irving said before the Cavaliers hosted the Detroit Pistons. “I’m proud of him. It’s a big step, not only in his life but in his career to get the weight of the world off his shoulders.”

“Derrick was a great teammate and is an even better friend,” Kidd-Gilchrist said before the Bobcats’ game in Washington. “I admire his courage and willingness to share his story.”

Kellogg praised Gordon’s “courage” and hopes the announcement will help others feel comfortable coming out.

“Some years from now, it might have a place in history,” he said.

For now, Gordon has a more immediate goal — returning to the court with his teammates.

“They’re ready to get back in the gym just as much as I am,” he said.

In brief

Pecos beats McCurdy in final season matchup The best thing about Wednesday was that McCurdy and Pecos can say they don’t have to see each other on the baseball diamond again this season.

The fourth matchup between the two nondistrict teams went the Panthers’ way again, but the Bobcats rallied from a 10-1 deficit and made the final two innings interesting before falling 13-11 at Bobcat Field. Pecos was 4-0 against McCurdy this season.

Pecos (10-4) took advantage of a couple of McCurdy errors in the second and third innings to build a nine-run lead, but the Bobcats cut down on their errors and started to generate some offense.

“The kids battled, and pretty soon, Pecos had a couple of errors and we took advantage of that,” McCurdy head coach Robert DeVargas said. “We started to hit some balls in the gaps and came back.”

McCurdy (3-9) scored seven times in the fourth, then added a run in the fifth and two in the sixth, but the rally fell short.

Jordan Sanchez led the way for McCurdy with a 3-for-4 performance, while seniors Chris Serrano and Dennis Padilla each had two hits.

McCurdy heads to Capitan on Saturday for a round-robin with Class A schools Capitan and Magdalena.

Reno Aces snap Isotopes’ 4-game winning streak All it took was one inning for the Albuquerque Isotopes’ four-game winning streak to vanish.

The Reno Aces scored six runs in the first inning and cruised to a 9-2 win in Pacific Coast League baseball Wednesday at Aces ballpark.

Reno (3-4) sent 10 batters to the plate in the opening frame against Albuquerque starter Stephen Fife, and had six straight hits at one point.

The big hits were Alfredo Marte’s two-run single to open the scoring, and Andy Marte’s two-run double that made it 4-0, Aces. Reno righthander Mike Bolsinger took care of the Isotopes (4-2), allowing only two runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings for the win.

Bolsinger’s only mistake was a two-run home run he allowed to Isotopes catcher Miguel Olivo that made it 6-2 in the fourth. Olivo went 2-for-4 on the night and had Albuquerque’s lone extrabase hit, while Clint Robinson was 3-for-5. Overall, the Isotopes had nine hits.

Fife survived the first inning but only went 3⅓ innings, leaving after Didi Gregorius doubled in a run for 7-2. He allowed seven earned runs and saw his ERA jump from 11.25 to 14.73 after two starts.

Gregorius and Mike Jacobs led a 16-hit Aces attack, as they each had a 3-for-5 performance.

Six Aces had at least two hits on the night.

The two teams play the last of their four-game set at 7:35 p.m. Thursday, and the Isotopes head to Albuquerque for their home opener against the Tacoma Rainiers at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Isotopes Park.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Cincinnati beats Cardinals, avoids sweep

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Billy Hamilton had three hits and his first two steals, and scored easily after tagging up Reds 4 on a shallow outfield Cardinals 0 pop fly to support a strong outing from Mike Leake in the Cincinnati Reds’ 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.

Leake (1-1) allowed four hits and a walk in eight scoreless innings and Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run home run for the Reds, who avoided a threegame sweep after dropping their ninth series in their last 10 in St. Louis.

Shelby Miller (0-2) allowed his fourth homer in two starts but held the Reds hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position.

ROCKIES 10, WHITE SOX 4 In Denver, D.J. LeMahieu’s two-run single broke a tie in a

six-run eighth inning. LeMahieu finished with three hits, including an RBI double in the sixth that tied the game at 4.

Rex Brothers (1-0) got two outs in the eighth as the Rockies took two of three in the series, and reliever Scott Downs (0-2) was the loser.

Chicago lost right fielder Avisail Garcia after he jammed his left shoulder diving for LeMahieu’s low liner in the sixth. The teams said X-rays were negative for a fracture or a separation.

NATIONALS 10, MARLINS 7 In Washington, Jayson Werth hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning off Carlos Marmol after Bryce Harper’s upper-deck, three-run homer started a comeback from an early deficit, leading the Nationals over Miami.

Werth and Harper each delivered his first homer of the season as Washington overcame deficits of 5-0 and 7-6 in a topsy-turvy game. Werth’s shot off Marmol (0-1) came with one out, after the reliever allowed a single, hit a batter, then inten-

tionally walked Anthony Rendon to load the bases.

It made a winner of Tyler Clippard (1-1), who yielded Garrett Jones’ tiebreaking RBI double in the top of the eighth after walking a pair of batters.

Rafael Soriano worked the ninth for his second save.

CUBS 7, PIRATES 5 In Chicago, Jason Hammel threw seven strong innings, Anthony Rizzo had four hits, and the Cubs beat Pittsburgh despite allowing five solo home runs.

Hammel (2-0) retired the first 12 batters until Pedro Alvarez’s first homer of the game tied it to start the fifth. Hammel allowed three runs and three hits — all solo homers — while striking out six. Mike Olt and Junior Lake hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth against Wandy Rodriguez (0-2).

BRAVES 4, METS 3 In Atlanta, Ervin Santana allowed only three hits over eight scoreless innings in his Braves debut, Jason Heyward homered and drove in two runs

and Atlanta held off the New York Mets.

The Braves led 4-0, but the Mets rallied in the ninth after Santana was removed. Juan Lagares drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single, and Travis d’Arnaud added a runscoring single before Craig Kimbrel fanned Ruben Tejada for his fourth save.

BREWERS 9, PHILLIES 4 In Philadelphia, Ryan Braun hit a two-run triple during a four-run eighth inning rally to lead Milwaukee to their fifth straight win.

Carlos Gomez and Mark Reynolds homered and Jean Segura doubled and drove in a run for Milwaukee, which has won all five games during the streak on the road. The Brewers snapped a 4-all tie in the eighth when they scored three runs on one hit off Antonio Bastardo (0-1). Reynolds scored the goahead run on an error by first baseman Ryan Howard.

Tyler Thornburg (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the victory.

The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Chris Copeland’s driving layup with 1.2 seconds remaining gave the Indiana Pacers a 104-102 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks Pacers 104 on Wednesday night that moved them back Bucks 102 into first place in the Eastern Conference.

Copeland finished with a season-high 18 points. Luis Scola also recorded a season high with 24 points and Evan Turner added 23 for Indiana, which benched all of its usual starters for the entire game.

Masters: 8 months since the last major Continued from Page B-1 the ball in the right spots on the green and “to realize here that the target is not the hole.”

“The more you play, the more you like, no?” Jimenez said as he leaned against his golf bag, looking relaxed as ever behind his aviator sunglasses.

But as he considered the rookies — Spieth and Patrick Reed, Harris English and Jimmy Walker — he dismissed the notion that experience was required for a green jacket.

“There are 24 guys here for the first time,” he said. “But there’s a reason they are here, no?”

Nowhere to be found, of course, was Tiger Woods.

Out of golf until the summer because of back surgery, out of the Masters for the first time in his career, the show goes on.

“Well, we miss Tiger, as does the entire golf world,” Masters chairman Billy Payne said. “He is always a threat to make a run and do well and win here at Augusta National. … Nevertheless, this is the Masters. This is what we hope is the best tournament in the world, one of the greatest sporting events. And I think we will have a very impressive audience and have another great champion to crown this year.”

The course closed for practice Wednesday afternoon, and a stream of fans made their way over to the Par 3 Tournament, where occasional cheers broke the silence. It was a precursor of

what was sure to follow over the next four days at a major that rarely fails to deliver drama.

Even without Woods.

“It’s probably the most anticipated week of the year,” Rory McIlroy said. “It’s been eight months since we’ve had a major. It’s Augusta. …

There’s a lot of guys that seem like once they drive up Magnolia Lane here, something lights up inside them.”

That could be Phil Mickelson, who last year won the British Open at age 42 and now has a chance to join Woods and Arnold Palmer with a fourth green jacket. It could be Adam Scott, trying to join Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus as the only back-to-back winners.

Considering how this year has gone, it could be anybody.

Jason Day, Sergio Garcia and former Masters champion Zach Johnson are the only players from the top 10 who have won anywhere in the world. Only one of the last seven winners on the PGA Tour was ranked in the top 75.

“I think if you’re outside the top 50 in the world this week, you’ve got a great chance,” U.S. Open champion Justin Rose said with a laugh.

Rose, however, falls on the side of experience — knowing where to miss, knowing where you can’t afford to miss, where the hole locations tend to be on the contoured greens and using the slope to get the ball close.

“Always you can have the unknowns,” he said. “But I would say 15 guys are pretty strong favorites.”

Scary name, fun race La Tierra Torture returns with challenging turns, meandering trails

FOR THE BIRDS

Hummingbirds back in Santa Fe

By Anne Schmauss

For The New Mexican

A

t’s got the word torture in its title.

In reality, it’s not tortuous at all.

To the experienced participant, it’s more of a bumpy joyride through the junipers, piñons and arroyos northwest of town.

The annual La Tierra Torture, so named not long before its inception as a municipalrun event in the mid-1990s, is a mountain bike race that utilizes the popular La Tierra Trails off N.M. 599. The exact layout of this year’s course is a closely guarded secret, says Brent Bonwell of the event’s organizing committee.

“It’s just a way to provide fair competition for the people coming in from out of state, and then to keep the course in as pristine condition as possible before the race,” he says.

“If everyone knew where it was, it might get a lot of traffic before we even start. The trails would get hammered if people knew exactly what they were dealing with.”

Scheduled for May 3 at the La Cuchara trailhead, the Torture will follow a course of about 9.5 miles. There are three separate categories for all skill levels.

Category 1 is for novices, and its participants will complete one lap. Bonwell said the course should be cleared within two hours, since it offers the earliest starting time, so as to avoid congestion when the Cat-2 and Cat-3 races begin.

The latter two categories will roughly follow the same course, minus a few divergent trails meant to make the going just a bit more challenging. By that, it means more dips, jumps and bumps in the terrain.

The Cat-2 division is two complete laps, while the Cat-3 level is for specialists like Mike McCalla — if, that is, he elects to enter this year’s race. He has won it three times, including last year’s dominating performance when he crossed the finish line more than seven minutes ahead of anyone else.

A national champion on the marathon racing circuit, he is as experienced as anyone the Torture has hosted over the years.

An expert who devotes much of his time to his private coaching business, Human Power Coaching, McCalla says Northern New Mexico — specifically the Santa Fe area — is a veritable treasure trove for offroad enthusiasts.

“Mountain biking in Santa Fe truly has become world class,” he says. “The immediate area around the city is extremely diverse.

Within an hour and a half, there are tremendous trails available, and outside that you have Colorado, Utah. Largely, I’d say it’s an undiscovered mountain biking paradise. That might be a stretch because more and more people are finding that out, but it is a remarkable place.”

McCalla says the Torture is an ideal race for anyone looking to make a mark on the local scene. While it’s far from tortuous, he said its meandering trails are punctuated by several sharp turns over relatively flat and moderate terrain, all of which are perfect for competitors who take it seriously — but not so serious as to make a living at it.

“There are more technical races out there, but this one is great for the kind of rider it attracts,” he says.

Bonwell agrees, saying the lure of mountain bike racing in Santa Fe has certainly caught on in the past 10 to 20 years. This year’s event is expected to attract upward of 250 riders from all around the Southwest. Most of them — about two-thirds, Bonwell says — hail from the Santa Fe-Los Alamos area. Others come from well outside the state.

pril is always an exciting time for New Mexican birders because that’s when hummingbirds, which winter mostly in Mexico, begin trickling back to the Santa Fe area.

We had our first hummingbird report March 26 and have heard of many sightings all over town since then.

Broad-tailed hummingbirds are the first to return, followed closely by the black-chinned hummingbirds.

Some of these birds are just passing through on their way farther north, but some will stick around to nest.

In fact, some hummingbirds won’t exit the state until the fall, meaning that one can expect to see hummingbirds in the area for about six months.

The male broad-tailed hummingbirds have a red throat and green iridescent back. The female has the same green back but a dull-colored throat. Since the female tends the nest and the young, it doesn’t make sense for her to sport a flashy color that attracts unwanted attention. The male, on the other hand, needs the bright color to attract a mate. He is very promiscuous and, when making his play for a female, will fly very high in the air before plummeting straight down in dramatic fashion. This display and the accompanying buzz made by the male’s wings are considered courtship. Look for hummingbird courtship display to begin later this month.

Once he’s mated, the male continues looking for other conquests while the female gets busy. She builds the nest alone, taking only four or five days to finish construction. She lines the inside of the nest with plant down and spider webbing, which is soft and insulates the eggs and babies against the cold. She camouflages the outside with lichens and bits of bark and moss. The female uses more spider webbing to anchor her nest to a tree branch.

In the end, the nest has about a 2-inch-wide outside diameter. The inside of the nest is only about 1 inch wide, so the two eggs she lays don’t have much room — which is not really a problem, since eggs are only about half an inch long. Because the nest is made of flexible materials, it will stretch as babies hatch and grow.

It’s very difficult for us and for predators to find these well-hidden little nests, and that’s just how the female wants it.

Once she lays her eggs, the female will incubate them for 16 to 19 days. After they’re hatched, the babies stay with their mama for more than three weeks before leaving the nest. During this time, the female does all the work of raising the young, including keeping hungry babies fed. She mostly feeds them young insects.

All this nesting activity happens a bit later in the spring.

For right now, the best thing to do is get your feeder out. Be sure to hang your hummingbird feeder where you and the birds can easily see it. Keep your sugar water fresh, changing it twice per week — whether any birds are coming or not. The hummingbird nectar recipe is four parts water to one part white table sugar. Boil, cool and serve, but don’t use any red dye.

Try to use a hummer feeder that is red in color, and be sure it’s easy to clean. You want to keep any mold out of your feeders, as it can be harmful to birds. I prefer hummingbird feeders with a top that lifts off for easy filling and cleaning.

Welcome the hummingbirds this spring. They’ll be with us for a while.

Sunday marks the last day of operations for Sipapu, and it will be the 10th season the resort has been the last to close in New Mexico over the last 12 years. This year also marked the 11th consecutive season Sipapu opened before any other ski area in the state.

For complete information, call 800-587-2240. uuu Fishing season begins: New Mexico’s fishing season has officially begun, and the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is reminding prospec-

tive anglers that permits are required.

Last year’s licenses expired Monday.

Visit www.wildlife.state.nm.us purchase a license or call 888-248-6866 for more information. Of course, dozens of local vendors sell the licenses, as well.

Children age 11 and under do not require a license, nor do in-state residents 70 years and older. They are also not required to purchase a Habitat Improvement Stamp, a Habitat Management & Access Validation or a second-rod validation. Discounted licenses for disabled and military anglers also are available.

An annual license costs $25 while a junior license (ages 16 and 17) run $5.

Anglers and small-game hunters are advised to carry a printed version of their license while in the field. Customers can print their own licenses or they can contact the department tollfree for assistance, 888-248-6866. uuu Popular sites reopen: The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish

announced Wednesday that it will reopen two popular state game commission properties in the Pecos Canyon to anglers and wildlife viewers on April 18.

The Bert Clancy and Terrero fishing and recreation areas along N.M. 63 were closed last summer after the Tres Lagunas and Jaroso wildfires prompted concerns for public safety because of the possibility of flash floods. The nearby Mora and Jamie Koch fishing and recreation areas were also closed, but have since reopened.

Anyone accessing these properties is required to have a valid hunting, fishing or trapping license or a Gaining Access into Nature permit, all of which are available for purchase through the department. There are limited opportunities to purchase at the site.

Licenses and permits can be purchased online at www.wildlife.state. nm.us.
