In a rare occurrence, the Santa Fe Police Department is fully staffed. Police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said 18 new recruits started Monday and another will start next week, filling all the department’s openings. The new cadets, Westervelt said, will ease the workload of current officers,

cut back on overtime and allow the administration to assign more officers to the department’s burglary patrols. The department now employs 166 officers. Westervelt said the force almost was fully staffed in September 2009, when there were only two vacancies. And in May, it was fully staffed for a single week before a spate of retirements. Police Chief Ray Rael, who has decades of experience with the department, said even he is surprised. “To my recollection, this is a first,” he said. “We can actually have a waiting list.”

Group ranks legislators on votes for conservation Five local lawmakers get 100%; Griego scores last among Senate Dems By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Most of Santa Fe’s delegation to the state Legislature did well on the annual Conservation Scorecard compiled by the environmental group Conservation Voters New Mexico. Five Santa Fe lawmakers, all Democrats, received scores of 100 percent this year from the organization. They are Reps. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, Brian Egolf and the late Stephen Easley, and Sens. Nancy Rodriguez and Peter Wirth. The scores are based on how lawmakers voted on legislation deemed important by Conservation Voters. However, Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, didn’t fare so well on this year’s scorecard. He was the lowest-scoring Democrat in the Senate, with 21 percent. Griego normally does better on the annual scorecard. His lifetime score is 51 percent, the group’s report said.

Fire marshal won’t permit floating lanterns on Christmas Eve due to safety concerns By Howard Houghton The New Mexican

on’t go looking for the “flying farolitos” during the annual Christmas Eve Farolito Walk on Santa Fe’s historic east side this year. The city fire marshal said Monday he doesn’t plan to issue a permit that would allow Arvo Thomson to send his glowing, tissue-paper-covered lanterns floating skyward from the Acequia Madre Elementary School parking lot. “We [can] have some pretty high winds that night, and there are just too many factors that you can’t control in a residential area like that,” said Fire Marshal Rey Gonzales. The city annually grants an exemption to its

“open burn” ordinance to allow farolitos — the candle-in-a-paper bag-with-sand creations used to line streets, sidewalks and walls — as well as the stacked-wood bonfires that Santa Fesinos call luminarias. Thomson also has received similar waivers in recent years, with requirements that he not launch his birthday-candle-powered creations under certain wind conditions, that he keep a fire extinguisher handy and have a cellphone to call for help in case of emergency. However, after years of drought and firesafety campaigns, local fire officials apparently are becoming more cautious. “I think in many ways our risk management has evolved,” said Chief Erik Litzenberg of the Santa Fe Fire Department, noting that he relies on the city fire marshal “to make these determinations.”

Long after the Christmas Eve stroll along Canyon Road and the Acequia Madre had become a popular activity — it now draws thousands from near and far who invade the neighborhood to soak up the holiday atmosphere — Thomson in the early 1990s took the idea of celebrating with glimmering candlelight to new heights. At first, the German-born car mechanic, certified massage therapist and builder didn’t bother seeking permits before sending up a few of his self-destructing displays on special occasions such as birthdays or holidays — a trick he learned in New Zealand from a Russian designer who studied under famed architect Buckminster Fuller.

CENTURION, South Africa — President Barack Obama has arrived in South Africa to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela, the iconic leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner who died Thursday at age 95. Obama will deliver a 20-minute speech during Tuesday’s service in Johannesburg, where thousands of South Africans and dozens of foreign dignitaries are expected to pack a sports stadium. Obama is expected to speak of Mandela’s influence on South Africa and on his own life, while also reflecting on the complexity of Mandela’s rise to president and global icon. Obama, former President George W. Bush and their wives arrived Tuesday morning at a military base near Johannesburg after a 16-hour trip from Washington.

KIEV, Ukraine — Heavily armed riot troops broke into the offices of a top Ukrainian opposition party in Kiev and seized its servers Monday, the party said, as anti-government protests crippled the capital for yet another day. On Tuesday, electricity to the building was cut off and occupiers began leaving, some carrying out blankets and other goods, expecting police to storm the site. Also, many cellular phones in the area received a text message early Tuesday addressed to protesters reading in part, “You are surrounded, there are no chances.”

U.S. heads to Central African Republic DOHA, Qatar — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered the U.S. military to transport troops from Burundi into the Central African Republic to help quell the latest upsurge in violence there. Hagel approved the order after speaking with French Minister of Defense Jean-Yves Le Drian. Le Drian asked the United States to help get African troops quickly into the country to prevent the violence there from spreading.

Syrian forces in control of key town DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian troops seized a key opposition-held town Monday along a major northsouth highway critical for transporting the government’s chemical weapons stocks to a port where they could be shipped out for destruction by the international community. The government has been cooperating with chemical weapons inspectors, and the capture of the town of Nabek might make the transfer of the stocks go more smoothly. New Mexican wire services

Auction proceeds over protests, plea for delay By Thomas Adamson The Associated Press

Mars rover finds proof of ancient freshwater lake Body of water could have supported life for long stretch, scientists believe By Alicia Chang

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered signs of an ancient freshwater lake on Mars, which scientists say could have been a perfect spot for tiny primitive organisms to flourish if they ever existed on the red planet. The watering hole near the Martian equator existed about 3.5 billion years ago around the time when life evolved on Earth. Scientists say the Martian lake was neither salty nor acidic, and contained life-friendly nutrients. “This just looks like a pretty darn ordinary Earth-like lake in terms of its chemistry,” said project scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology. “If you were desperate, you could have a drink of this stuff.” The lake, about the size of a small Finger Lake in upstate New York, likely was around for tens of thousands — perhaps hundreds of thousands — of years. Even when the lake dried up, scientists said microbes could have migrated underground, and existed for potentially tens of millions of years. It’s not known whether simple life forms ever took hold on Mars and Curiosity lacks the tools to search for any fossilized microbes. It can only analyze the chemical makeup of rocks and soil. The findings were published online Monday in the journal Sci-

John Grotzinger, project scientist at California Institute of Technology ence and presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. “The results definitely reinforce the idea that past life on Mars was possible,” planetary scientist David Paige at the University of California, Los Angeles said in an email. Paige, who is not part of the Curiosity team, added: “The question of whether life existed or exists on Mars today is still open.” Present-day Mars is dusty and harsh, with no signs of water. But the red planet wasn’t always a radiation-scarred frozen desert. Early in its history, Mars was more tropical, with streams and rivers. With water plentiful, scientists think it was a place where primitive life could have thrived by feeding on rocks and minerals similar to tiny organisms on Earth that hide in caves and underwater vents. Around 3.5 billion years ago, Mars underwent a shift and raged with volcanic activity. NASA’s older rovers Spirit and Opportunity found geologic evidence that water flowed during this time, but it was

highly acidic and considered too caustic for life. Scientists thought much of the planet had been awash in acidic water until Curiosity earlier this year found signs of an old streambed near its landing site with a neutral pH. Analyzing a sedimentary rock known as a mudstone, the nuclearpowered rover found evidence of favorable environmental conditions — an ancient lake that was theoretically drinkable, harboring some of the key ingredients for life including carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus. A roving science laboratory, Curiosity touched down in a massive depression called Gale Crater near Mars’ equator last year, toting high-tech instruments to drill into rocks, forecast the weather and track radiation. Another study released Monday showed that the rock was 4.2 billion years old — not entirely surprising since observations from space suggested the bedrock in the crater was this old.

PARIS — A French auction house that ignored a plea by the U.S. Embassy to delay an auction of sacred Hopi masks sold them briskly Monday along with other contested American Indian artifacts for $1.6 million. As protesters stood outside the Drouot auction house with banners reading “Sacred Masks, Sacrilegious Sale,” some 25 vividly colored Kachina masks went under the hammer inside. Though a judge ruled last week that the sale of the artifacts is legal in France, the American Indian Hopi tribe says the artifacts represent their ancestors’ spirits and cannot be sold as merchandise. Objects sold quickly, including the sacred “Crow Mother,” a menacing Hopi mask with billowing black plumes, that was bought at nearly twice its expected value at $171,000. “This is the event of the year. It’s right here, right now. This is the American Indian sale of 2013,” auctioneer Eric Deneste said lightheartedly. His tone, and the almost comical corncobs scattered for decoration around the masks, were in contrast to the very serious presence of security guards positioned around the room in case of disruption. The Katsinam masks look like surreal faces made from wood, leather, horse hair and feathers and are painted in vivid pigments of red, blue, yellow and orange. Unlike commercial art, the Hopis argue, these objects are akin to tombs and represent their ancestors’ spirits, nurtured and fed as if they are the living dead. The U.S. Embassy made a request for delay on behalf of the Hopi and San Carlos Apache tribes, to allow them time to come to France and identify the artifacts and investigate whether they have a claim to the items under the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Both France and the U.S. are signatories to the treaty. “No one is saying we should empty museums of their artifacts,” said Pierre Servan-Schreiber, a lawyer who represents the Hopi tribe. “But these objects have a special significance for a people that still exists. When will someone realize that not everything can be sold and bought?” Servan-Schreiber bought one of the masks to return to the tribe. The tribe has said it believes the masks, which date to the late 19th and early 20th century, were taken illegally from a northern Arizona reservation in the early 20th century.

Although the campaign is ostensibly directed at governments around the world, the U.S. is clearly the main target. “The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual — rights that are enshrined in our Constitution,” the letter said. “This undermines the freedoms we all cherish.

Study finds many lung cancer tumors prove harmless By Lindsey Tanner

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Harmless lung cancer? A provocative study found that nearly 1 in 5 lung tumors detected on CT scans are probably so slowgrowing that they would never cause problems. The analysis suggests the world’s No. 1 cause of cancer deaths isn’t as lethal as doctors once thought. In the study, these were not falsepositives — suspicious results that turn out upon further testing not to be cancer. These were indeed cancerous tumors, but ones that caused no symptoms and were unlikely ever to become deadly, the researchers said. Still, the results are not likely to change how doctors treat lung cancer. For one thing, the disease is usually diagnosed after symptoms develop,

when tumors show up on an ordinary chest X-ray and are potentially lifethreatening. Also, doctors don’t know yet how to determine which symptomless tumors found on CT scans might become dangerous, so they automatically treat the cancer aggressively. The findings underscore the need to identify biological markers that would help doctors determine which tumors are harmless and which ones require treatment, said Dr. Edward Patz, Jr., lead author and a radiologist at Duke University Medical Center. He is among researchers working to do just that. Patz said patients who seek lung cancer screening should be told about the study results. “People have to understand that we’re going to find some cancers which if we’d never looked, we never would have had to treat,” he said. Among

patients and even many doctors, “it’s not something that is commonly known with lung cancer.” A leader of an influential government-appointed health panel agreed. “Putting the word ‘harmless’ next to cancer is such a foreign concept to people,” said Dr. Michael LeFevre, co-chairman of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The panel recently issued a draft proposal recommending annual CT scans for high-risk current and former heavy smokers — echoing advice from the American Cancer Society. A final recommendation is pending, but LeFevre said the panel had already assumed that screening might lead to overdiagnosis. “The more we bring public awareness of this, then the more informed decisions might be when people decide to screen or not,” LeFevre said. He called the study “a very important con-

tribution,” but said doctors will face a challenge in trying to explain the results to patients. In testimonials, patients often say lung cancer screening via CT scans cured them, but the study suggests that in many cases, “we cured them of a disease we didn’t need to find in the first place,” LeFevre said. The study was published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. More than 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, and more than half of them die. Worldwide, there are about 1.5 million lung cancer deaths annually. The new study is an analysis of data from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial — National Cancer Institute research involving 53,452 people at high risk for lung cancer who were followed for about six years. Half of them got three annual low-

dose CT scans — a type of X-ray that is much more sensitive than the ordinary variety — and half got three annual conventional chest X-rays. During six years of follow-up, 1,089 lung cancers were diagnosed in CT scan patients, versus 969 in those who got chest X-rays. That would suggest CT scans are finding many early cases of lung cancer that may never advance to the point where they could be spotted on an ordinary chest X-ray. An earlier report on the study found that 320 patients would need to get CT screening to prevent one lung cancer death. The new analysis suggests that for every 10 lives saved by CT lung cancer screening, almost 14 people will have been diagnosed with a lung cancer that would never have caused any harm, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer society’s deputy chief medical officer.

Congress extends plastic gun ban By Alan Fram

The Santa Fe Police Department has filled its ranks completely and says the new recruits will ease the workload of current officers, cut back on overtime and allow the administration to assign more officers to the department’s burglary patrols. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO

SFPD: Department looking to add 10 jobs Continued from Page A-1 Lt. Sean Strahon and Officers Matthew Trujillo and Lisa Champlin. In August, the department released numbers that showed nearly half of its applicants were incapable of meeting its physical requirements. And another 9 percent failed the written or oral exams. Rael proposed a 21-page recruitment plan that included raises, hiring bonuses, housing aid and other incentives. That plan was tabled in an October Public Safety Committee meeting, and Westervelt said Rael has withdrawn it in light of the new recruiting success. For the next month, cadets will obtain firearm certifications and undergo rigorous physical training to ensure they pass a 16-week training course at the Department of Public Safety Law Enforcement Academy. Westervelt said all the new recruits are men and 16 of them are from New Mexico. She added that eight of the new recruits also have military experience — a bonus, she said, because former military members tend to have more disci-

pline and higher fitness levels. All the cadets will earn a starting wage of $19.11 per hour, in addition to health and retirement benefits. But the full police force might be short lived. The police department has requested funding for 10 additional officers to address new public safety needs related to the city’s recent annexation of 4,100 acres and 13,000 residents. Beginning in January 2014, city officers and the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office will jointly patrol the newly annexed areas. Gradually, the city will take over all the duties. In 2015, each agency will patrol one half of the annexed area. By 2016, the city will be responsible for all 4,100 acres. Westervelt said, however, that the department has seven more potential hires, five of whom came from other law enforcement agencies. Lateral hires, she said, require less training from the Santa Fe Police Department, and they come with more law enforcement experience.

Revenues: Oil prices, federal cuts could hurt Continued from Page A-1 the Martinez administration outlined the latest revenue forecast to the Legislative Finance Committee, which will make budget recommendations to the Legislature. According to the report: u Revenues in the current fiscal year will be about $84 million greater than projected in August when the last financial update was prepared. Revenues will be higher because of strong oil and natural gas receipts, personal income tax growth and lower than anticipated costs for a business tax credit. The additional money will flow into the state’s cash reserves, providing a cushion against unexpected financial problems. Lawmakers also can dip into the state’s cash balances for one-time supplemental budget increases when programs face shortfalls. u The revenue forecast of $6.2 billion for next year is down just $3 million from what

had been estimated this summer. Clifford said the revenue outlook is generally positive but he cautioned that the latest financial forecast could prove to be too optimistic if oil prices end up lower than economists predict. State taxes on energy production will drop if oil and natural gas prices fall. He also cautioned that continued federal spending cuts could hurt New Mexico’s income and sales tax collections, and the state’s energy revenues also are potentially volatile Clifford recommended the state maintain cash reserves equal to at least 10 percent of spending to provide a prudent financial safety net. With the additional revenues expected in the current budget year, the administration estimates reserves will be about $548 million at the end of June — representing about 9.3 percent of spending.

WASHINGTON — Narrowly beating a midnight deadline, Congress voted Monday to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms that can evade airport detection machines. But Republicans blocked an effort to toughen the restrictions — the latest defeat for gun-control forces in the year since the grade school massacre in Newtown, Conn. President Barack Obama signed the law before midnight, using an auto pen as he traveled to Africa for ceremonies honoring the late South African

President Nelson Mandela. The device Obama used to sign the bill has been used for the signatures of traveling presidents since the administration of President George W. Bush. By voice vote, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a 10-year extension of the prohibition against guns that can slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines. The House voted last week for an identical decade-long renewal of the ban. GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to strengthen the ban by requiring that such weapons contain undetachable metal

parts. Some plastic guns meet the letter of the current law with a metal piece that can be removed, making them a threat to be slipped past security screeners at schools, airports and elsewhere. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Congress should extend the ban for a decade and study Schumer’s more restrictive plan to make sure it doesn’t interfere with technologies used by legitimate gun manufacturers. He said the bill’s recent introduction suggests that “the real objectives were things other than just getting an extension.”

SFPS sets priorities for student transfers By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education on Monday unanimously approved student transfer policies for the upcoming school year. Students who are zoned for a school with an F rating — based on the state’s A-F school-grading system — and want to transfer to an A, B, C or D school, are first in line. Within that group, however, siblings of a student currently attending a receiving school and the children of Santa Fe Public Schools employees get first dibs. Second priority goes to students who previously attended the receiving school but who no longer live in the school zone due to either an address change or a school zone boundary change.

Third priority relates to all other indistrict applicants, and fourth priority applies to students who want to transfer into Santa Fe Public Schools from another district. The district conducts a transfer lottery every year to comply with the New Mexico Open Enrollment and New Mexico Compulsory Attendance acts. Families must apply for a transfer between Jan. 6 and Jan. 24. The lottery will be held Feb. 6. The district continues to struggle with balancing enrollment so its schools are not overcrowded or underenrolled. The effort is exacerbated by parents who lie about where they live to get their children into higher-rated schools. A few such instances were uncovered at Wood Gormley Elementary School. Home visits confirmed some students were

illegally attending the school, according to Sondra Adams, the district’s director of student data. Students found to be fraudulently enrolled were sent back to the school in their home zone, she said. The district defines an underenrolled school as a site that is below 75 percent of student capacity or grade level maximum, as defined by the state’s Public Education Department. An overenrolled school is above 95 percent of capacity or grade level maximum. Superintendent Joel Boyd said many people believe the process is “illegitimate” and urged the board to hold to the same message so parents and students understand how it works.

Votes: Report praises two local lawmakers Continued from Page A-1 As for other area lawmakers, Rep. Debbie Rodella, D-Española, and Stephanie Garcia Richard, D-Los Alamos, each scored 92 percent; Nick Salazar, D-Ohkay Owingeh, had 75 percent; Rep. Carl Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, earned 67 percent; Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, scored 62 percent; and Rep. Jim Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, had 58 percent. Among the legislation considered was a bill that would have exempted certain agricultural operations from nuisance laws; measures that would have transferred oversight of federal public lands to the state; a procedural effort to end the Water Quality Control Commission; a bill to change the membership of the Water Quality Control Commission, “removing much of the health and tech-

nical expertise, and stacking it towards industry-allied agencies,” the report says. Because some of the votes were taken in committees, some legislators didn’t get a chance to vote on some of the bills that were counted by Conservation Voters. A total of 13 House members and eight senators — all Democrats — received 100 percent scores. Thirteen House members, all Republicans, had single-digit scores. One senator, Lee Cotter, R-Las Cruces, scored a zero for his votes on conservation issues. The report singles out for praise two Santa Fe lawmakers, Wirth and Egolf, who are committee chairmen. Wirth is chairman of the Senate Conservation Committee, while Egolf chairs the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee. In the case of the Senate committee,

the report says, “Sen. Wirth’s chairmanship represents a 180 degree turnaround from the previous leadership. Although the committee is still dominated by members who are more aligned with polluting industries than environmental protection, the tone and tenor of the conversation is vastly different.” Rodella, who chairs the House Business and Industry Committee also receives praise in the report. Her panel has “traditionally been quite hostile to environmental concerns,” the report says. “However, Rep. Rodella went to the mat this session to defend the Water Quality Control Commission and keep it from expiring.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@ sfnewmexican.com.

Farolitos: Display has never caused a fire Continued from Page A-1 The four-sided tetrahedrons, held together with Scotch tape and braced with strips of Styrofoam, typically rise at least 1,000 feet before disintegrating. And Thomson says he’s never had an incident where one started a fire, partly because he won’t launch one unless conditions are right. Last Christmas Eve, he said, the city didn’t issue him a permit because conditions were too bone dry — something he said he fully understood. And if one of the lanterns happened to touch a tree limb during launch or otherwise send sparks falling to the ground, “we stomp them out,” said Thomson, whose launches are often witnessed by hundreds of people. “I’ve done them on several continents and never set anything on fire,” said

Thomson, now a part-time Santa Fe resident who built a home near Tierra Amarilla. “They just don’t start explosive fires. If it’s cold, they go so high you can barely see them. It’s definitely less dangerous than a bottle rocket.” Thomson, who said he started the Christmas Eve displays as “my gift to whoever” because he was disillusioned with commercialized aspects of Christmas, admitted he is “just a bit tired” after years of his self-funded effort. Joel Falk, a teacher at Acequia Madre Elementary, has helped by getting permission from the school’s principal to let Thomson use the school’s gym floor to unroll and cut pieces of tissue paper while fabricating his flying lanterns. Falk also helps students each year put thousands of farolitos outside the school and then hands out hot cider and cocoa to merrymakers. He said the “flying farolitos”

had become a popular added attraction in recent years. “Last year, he wasn’t flying them and I must have had 200 people asking for them,” the teacher said, noting that “it’s become enough of a Santa Fe institution, or whatever, that newspapers put it in their calendars of events.” Falk said of Thomson, “I think he gets a little angry that the city benefits from his activity on Christmas Eve but they don’t do anything to support it.” Noting that he wasn’t speaking officially on behalf of the school, the teacher said, “It’s a nice tradition with our school at the center of it. I’m disappointed that it’s difficult for him to get a permit, but I’m not a fire marshal and I don’t know fire rules. I just know how to teach fourth grade.” Contact Howard Houghton at 986-3015 or hhoughton@sfnewmexican.com.

if you go

proposed plan to guide future growth in unincorporated Santa Fe County would require developers to pay more of the burden their projects put on roads, water and sewer lines and other infrastructure. The Sustainable Land Development Code, which the Board of County Commissioners will consider for adoption Tuesday, includes a growth management element requiring developers to determine whether existing public facilities and services are adequate to support their developments. “Is there adequate water, sewer, roads, sheriff’s facilities, fire facilities, that kind of thing? That’s something we look at right now on a case-by-case basis, but this is actually putting in writing that you have to prove that you have adequate public facilities in order to build your development,” Penny Ellis-Green, the county’s growth management director,

said Monday. For example, if the study determines a new road is needed but it isn’t on the county’s capital improvement plan for seven years, the developer could wait seven years for the county to build the road — or just pay the cost to build the road, she said. “You could build it yourself. You could wait for the county to build it. But what we’re saying is that it needs to be there,” EllisGreen said. Kim Shanahan, executive officer of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association,

said the group focused on the energy and water aspects of the code and, “We are happy with what has come forward.” The proposed code, which has been years in the making, is the first time the county will have zoning districts, Ellis-Green said. “We didn’t have zoning throughout the county. What we had was a minimum lot size for residential uses that was based on hydrologic zoning,” she said. According to officials, the existing code resulted in the proliferation of lots in the unincorporated areas of the county. The new code also increases community notification requirements and includes a “pre-application notification” process for larger projects. The only requirement in the existing code is a legal ad in the newspaper and certified letters to surrounding property owners, a requirement that would remain in the new code. “This code will guarantee a process where

Conflict builds over horse regulations By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

New stricter requirements for commercial horse facilities such as barns and riding stables are among the more controversial parts of a draft Santa Fe County Sustainable Land Development Code that commissioners will consider at a public meeting on Tuesday. Some horse lovers were so concerned about the changes that they formed the Santa Fe County Horse Coalition in early November. The group now claims more than 400 members. John Parks, a Santa Fe anesthesiologist and president of the fledgling group, said some county residents had been giving county planners false information about horse stables and proposing unnecessary regulations for horse properties. “You get newcomers who want the tranquility of the country. Then once they get there, they want to citify it,” said Parks, who grew up in Montana and has owned horses all his life. “They end up not in love with sights and sounds of the country. “Horse people view any attack on them as a huge attack on everything rural,” Parks added. “We’ve seen it happen in the [Wyoming and Colorado] Front Range, California, Arizona.” Pam Greaves, a yoga instructor who also has owned horses all her life, is among those who asked the county to increase regulations on commercial horse properties near residential neighborhoods. She and others signed online petitions protesting the rezoning of 95-B Ranch Road south of Eldorado that would allow the property to be rented out as a boarding facility for movie animals. Use of the property by movie companies in the past has subjected the

A New Mexico State Police officer who fired three shots into a minivan filled with children during a traffic stop in Taos is planning to appeal his termination. Elias Montoya, who had worked for the department for 12 years, was fired Friday following an internal investigation and a disciplinary hearing. On Sunday, his attorneys issued a news release saying he was wrongfully terminated. On Monday, Albuquerque-based attorney Antonia Roybal-Mack said that once his attorneys reviewed the allegations and all of the evidence, Montoya would “tell his side of the events.” Montoya has 30 days under department policy to appeal his firing to the Public Safety Advisory Commission, comprising civilians appointed by the governor. New Mexico State Police spokesman Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez said Monday that because of the appeal process he cannot comment. State police Chief Pete Kassetas consulted with the secretary of the Department of Public Safety, Gorden Eden, before firing Montoya and made his final decision after a hearing on Thursday. The Associated Press reported that Montoya had been on leave with pay since Dec. 4. The dashcam video during the Oct. 28 road stop generated national media attention. The video shows Officer Tony DeTavis attempting to issue a speeding ticket to Oriana Farrell, 39, of Memphis, Tenn., who was reportedly driving 71 mph in a 55 mph zone outside of Taos. When the officer returned to his car, Farrell drove off in her minivan with five children. After DeTavis caught up with Farrell, a scuffle ensued between DeTavis, Farrell, and her 14-year-old son. Two other state police officers arrived on the scene and family members locked themselves inside the van. The video released by state police shows that DeTavis tried to break a window of the van with his baton. After Farrell sped away a second time, Montoya fired three shots toward the van’s rear tires and a chase ensued into Taos. Montoya has said in police reports, “I heard Officer DeTavis or Officer [Anthony] Luna mention some-

neighborhood to increased traffic, “polluted runoff and [a] manure pile creating a noxious odor,” according to an online petition signed by 122 people. Greaves believes the latest version of the draft sustainable land use code, finished Dec. 3, still doesn’t go far enough in regulating commercial horse facilities. “Dog kennels, B-and-Bs and greenhouses all require special conditional use permits, including a public hearing. The county is really playing to a special crowd and not being fair.” Santa Fe County Planning Director Robert Griego and staff are trying to balance conflicting demands as they write the new code.

After the new horse coalition raised concerns in early November, the draft code was amended twice. Griego said horses are part of the county’s rural lifestyle, but people disagree about how they should be regulated. “This code just brought those issues that had been percolating, to the surface,” he said. Griego said that under current county code a commercial horse facility for more than six horses must submit a master plan, and there must be a public hearing before the development permit can be approved by the County

The board of education likely will ask voters to approve a $10 million to $11 million bond to fund educational technology needs in the district. Santa Fe Public Schools’ chief business officer, Carl Gruenler, told the board at a Monday evening meeting that the money will allow the district to put an “age-appropriate computing device” in the hands of every one of its roughly 13,000 students in the next five years. He said the bond would cost the owner of a $300,000 house about $150 a year. Funding for the initiative cannot come out of current bond revenues, Gruenler said, noting that neither the Legislature nor the Public Education Department provide a fund for technology infrastructure, hardware, software and support. The board discussed the option of first polling the public to see how it feels about supporting the bond. Superintendent Joel Boyd said that the district will have to push for a “get out the vote” campaign to inform and encourage voters. Some school board members asked if the district could hold the election the same day as the next mayoral election — March 4. But the district’s attorney, Geno Zamora, said it is his understanding that it would not legally be possible due to a number of municipal-code restrictions. Boyd asked the five board members to back the action as a show of unity. The board likely will commit to a resolution on how to approach the public at its next meeting, scheduled for Dec. 17, with an eye toward mounting a campaign by February 2014 and holding an election next spring.

Santa Fean to lead hunter group The New Mexico Wildlife Federation has picked Garrett VeneKlasen as the nonprofit organization’s new executive director. VeneKlasen will take over on Dec. 16 from Jeremy Vesbach, who headed the group for the past decade. The group lobbies for hunter and angler rights, works on conservation programs and keeps tabs on the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. VeneKlasen was born and raised in Santa Fe. He’s hunted and fished throughout the state, according to the group. He is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and owns an international hunting and angling outfitting business. VeneKlasen helped start the New Mexico Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and has been the Southwest region director for Trout Unlimited.

Probe begins on deadly plane crash The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board began investigations Monday into a plane crash Sunday morning near the Los Alamos Airport that left one person dead. But neither group released information about the incident as of Monday evening. It’s still unknown if the singleengine plane was carrying any passengers, and the deceased’s name has yet to be released. A Los Alamos County spokesperson said the plane crashed at 8:10 a.m. Sunday about a mile south of the Los Alamos airport. And a news release from Los Alamos County stated a small blaze occurred after the crash, but it was extinguished.

Reward offered for poachers State game wardens are offering a reward for information regarding four deer killed illegally on Dec. 1 near Alamogordo. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the capture of the poacher or poachers who killed four deer, taking most of the meat and one deer head.

Martinez hopes to avoid scholarship cuts this spring By Barry Massey

The Associated Press

Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration said Monday it wants to avoid cuts to a lotteryfinanced college scholarship program this spring by having the Legislature shore up the program temporarily with general tax revenues. Higher Education Secretary Jose Garcia said in a letter to colleges and universities that scholarship awards, which fully cover tuition for eligible students, will be reduced if lawmakers fail to plug a financial shortfall in the program. The Legisla-

ture convenes in January for a 30-day session. The administration estimates the Legislature might need to allocate $15 million to $20 million to cover scholarship costs this year. The lottery will provide about $40 million for the program. However, rising tuition and student demand for scholarships have outstripped growth in lottery revenues since the program

eral funds to cover the spring shortfall, and enact reasonable, balanced reforms to the scholarship so that students can receive predictable funding next school year and beyond.” If no action is taken by the Legislature, state law requires scholarships to be cut to an amount less than 100 percent of tuition to keep the program solvent within available revenue. To qualify for a scholarship,

New Mexico students must enroll in a public college or university in the state after graduating from high school, attend full time and maintain a 2.5 point grade-point average. About 15,000 students received scholarships this fall. A state task force studied possible changes in the program earlier this year but couldn’t reach an agreement on how to restructure the scholarships.

As far as businesses go, remaining open 26 years is a

feat, especially in a unique market place like Santa Fe. To have staying power like that, a business needs compelling products with service and selection to match. A link to New Mexico’s founding fathers doesn’t hurt either. Luckily, Scott Ortega, (President of Mirage Corp.) and Mirage Spa Sales and Tanning Salon possess those attributes in spades. Located at 1909 St. Michaels Drive, Mirage sells award-winning hot tubs to fit any budget. “We can get folks started with a great spa for as low as $1,500” said Scott Ortega, owner. We only carry the best products available in the leisure industry which I believe has been a major contributor to our long history and success. When it comes to bringing the family together, relaxation and therapy, Sundance Spas is the industry leader in Hot tub innovations and design, Scott said. If you’re current hot tub is in need of replacing or an upgrade, Mirage also takes trade-ins. “People often associate getting a new hot tub as a major project. We can get that old tub out and put your new one in before the end of the day. It’s my favorite part of the job! I go on every delivery, everyone is always so happy to see the hot tub guy”, laughed Scott. Mirage is proud to sell saunas by Finlandia. “The saunas that come from Finlandia are simply the best you can get. “It’s extremely healthy and it just feels good,

Lab museum marks 50 years The Bradbury Science Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary with a public reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. The museum was founded in 1954 by Robert Krohn and the then Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, but was classified and not open to the general public. In 1963, director Norris Bradbury made the museum unclassified and public. The museum moved to its present location in 1993 at 1350 Central Ave., Los Alamos. The museum has interactive science displays, tells the history of the atomic bomb and displays replicas of the original bombs that decimated Nagasaki and Hiroshima. One room is devoted to photos and stories about the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory. “For 50 years, the Bradbury Science Museum’s mission has been to foster enthusiasm and support for science and engineering, and a better understanding of the mission and work of the Laboratory,” said Linda Deck, Bradbury Museum director. Museum visitors on Wednesday will see historic images of the museum and how it changed through the decades. Light refreshments will be served. Regular museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday and Monday.

was created in 1996. Garcia said the Legislature should plug this year’s shortfall with money from the state’s general budget account and revamp the program to keep it from running out of money in the future. “We remain hopeful that our lawmakers will understand the urgency of this very pressing matter and act accordingly,” Garcia wrote. “We believe it’s reasonable to appropriate gen-

how can you go wrong?” Scott asks. For Santa Feans looking to spread their wings and trade winter coats and hats for the parasols and swimsuits of warmer climates this holiday season, Mirage offers a 13-bed tanning salon to help get a great foundation tan. Just a few minutes a few times a week is a great way to get started on your tan,” said Scott. “We have industry-leading beds from Sonnen Braun Wolff Systems, the latest technology in high pressure beds by ETS and Norvelle spray tanning booths. So when it comes to tanning “we got your back, literally” laughed owner operator Mr. Ortega. Now is the best to shop at Mirage. “One of our traditions over the last 26 years is the “Spring has Sprung, Fall has Fell, Winter’s here, it’s Cold as Hell’ Hot Tub Sale,” said Scott. It’s a huge sale on hot tubs and hot tub accessories. It features end-of-year closeout and deals on 2014 spas. The bottom line is the 2013 tubs have to go, pricing is never better than right now.” said

Scott. “It’s a great time of year to hot tub, the sale helps people get set up with everything they need at a great price.” Mirage also offers professional installation and an in-house construction crew to help with larger installations. Scott and his daughter, Madison ,who runs her own popcorn and shaved ice business ( at the age of 11) represent the fifth and sixth generation of retailing business experience in northern New Mexico from the Ortega family, and over 106 years of customer service and sales to this community. “My family was involved in the writing of New Mexico’s constitution, so our roots run deep here,” said Scott. “My great-great grandparents owned and operated the general store and Post office in Chimayo and are remembered and buried in the court yard of the famous Santuario church in Chimayo. The rest is history.” Most importantly Scott said, “I want to thank my parents, Ben and Helen Ortega. Without their guidance and support over the years none of this would

about 37 miles north of Santa Fe. Skiers were able to pull her station wagon out of a snowdrift, where she had been stranded for three days. Leon Montoya said his grandmother survived on a Big Hunk candy bar, a bottle of water and some snow. She endured the cold, he said, by donning his grandfather’s overalls and wrapping rags around her feet.

Leon Montoya said his grandmother tried walking to a gas station or to someone’s home at some point, but was unable to make it because of knee problems.

Officers were conducting a DWI saturation patrol at the time. Police say Deale allegedly had bloodshot, watery eyes and they detected a strong odor of alcohol.

Continued from Page A-5 thing about a gun.” Montoya wrote that when the vehicle started driving away, “I fired my duty weapon three times at the left rear tire in an attempt to immobilize the vehicle with the intention of keeping vehicle in the remote area, so as to not put any other human life in jeopardy.” Montoya also wrote in police reports that he chose to shoot at the tires “because of all the people in the vehicle,” and that “I may have exaggerated in keeping my muzzle down so no innocent person would get hit with the shots I fired.” Roybal-Mack’s statement Sunday said that officers put themselves in danger daily to protect the public, and that a traffic stop on a rural road is the most dangerous situation an officer could encounter. “It’s difficult to second guess the actions of Officer Montoya without completely reviewing all of the evidence,” the release said. Criminal justice professors have criticized Montoya’s decision to use his firearm, questioning whether Farrell ever posed any tangible threat to officers or the public. And the state police policy on the use of deadly force explicitly warns against firing at a moving vehicle, stating that “decisions to discharge a firearm at or from a moving vehicle … are prohibited if they present an unreasonable risk to the officer or others.” Gov. Susana Martinez said Monday that she supported the decision to fire Montoya because, “You don’t use deadly force against someone who is not threatening you with deadly force.” On Sunday, The Taos News reported about 100 people protested Montoya’s firing with a march through Taos. Montoya is the son of a minister and was profiled by The Taos News in 2010 for his work mentoring at-risk boys in a program started by the Taosbased social services organization Nonviolence Works. His attorney’s news release said Montoya is also a husband and father of three, and that he was grateful to Taos community for its support. Farrell and her son were arrested in front of a Taos hotel. She faces charges of child abuse, fleeing and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia for a pair of marijuana pipes police said were in the van. According to a police report, Montoya bought the entire family food from McDonald’s while the mother and son were being booked. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Conflict: Unlimited number of horses allowed for personal use Continued from Page A-5 Commission. But a facility with six horses or less can simply apply for a home occupation business permit and no public hearing will be required, said Jose Larranaga, commercial case manager for the county planning division. Residents who want horses for personal use simply request a permit that can be approved by staff. The county didn’t limit the number of horses for personal use. Under the new draft code, the county would be rezoned and rules for obtaining permits

for commercial horse barns and stables will vary depending on the zoning. Commercial stables with more than six horses in some zoning districts will have to submit a plan and go through a public hearing for a conditional-use permit. In other districts, county staff could issue the permit. An unlimited number of horses for personal use and commercial facilities for up to six horses will be allowed in all zoning districts in the county under the proposed draft code. Horse owners will still have to submit a site plan, but staff will be able to approve the permit without hold-

ing a public hearing. Existing approved subdivisions and uses are grandfathered in under the draft Sustainable Land Development Code. Requirements for horses are covered in the draft code under the Use Table in Appendix B and on Page 6.

Follow her on Twitter @stacimatlock.

Code: Some have urged delay Continued from Page A-5 the public can be involved in that future development, and I don’t think that was the case before,” Commissioner Miguel Chavez said. The proposed code is a comprehensive plan that covers everything from parking lot lighting and sidewalk widths to mining operations. The county has been working on the plan since the adoption of the Sustainable Growth Management Plan in 2010. Even if the code is adopted Tuesday, Ellis-Green said it won’t go into effect until the board approves a new zoning map, which planners hope to present in the spring. The county has held numer-

ous meetings and study sessions on the proposed code, generating thousands of public comments. Concerns about the proposed code remain, including the rules and regulations over horses and sand and gravel mining operations. Under the proposed code, sand and gravel operations would be treated as a “development of countywide impact” with stricter regulations under two circumstances: If they’re 20 acres or more or if they include blasting. “Really, the question is whether it should be 20 acres or smaller or if everything should be a development of countywide interest,” Ellis-

Green said. Some members of the public have urged commissioners to delay adopting the plan. “There is some concern that we’re moving too fast and that maybe we shouldn’t do anything on the 10th and we should work on it a little bit more. I can accept that, but only part of it because the code is never going to be perfect,” Chavez said. “My thinking is that we would adopt it with the understanding that we don’t walk away from it once we adopt it but that we continually update and revise.”

Saluting a trailblazer Solar energy pioneer Wayne Nichols honored by Santa Fe Association of Realtors By Dennis J. Carroll

For The New Mexican

ere’s something you probably didn’t know about Wayne Nichols, recipient last month of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Santa Fe Association of Realtors: The nationally recognized urban planner, solar energy pioneer and sustainability trailblazer once spent nearly two years driving the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, guru to the Beatles and the Beach Boys, around Europe. Nichols said that on a 1971 visit to Austria, where his sister lived as a Maharishi devotee, the guru, in essence, commandeered Nichols’ van. “The Maharishi drives up in his Mercedes, jumps out and says [of Nichols’ vehicle] ‘I must have this bus.’ so I traded him and ended up driving his people around in it for a year and a half.” But that was a long time ago and likely weighed little on the minds of the members of the association, which presented Nichols with the award Nov. 15. “He’s a remarkable man,” said Beverly Chapman, a member of the association’s committee that nominated Nichols. “He’s always involved, always there to help, very familiar with government and what our real estate association needs to do in regards to government.” Chapman also described Nichols as philanthropic, a very, very giving man … who has made the best of his longevity as a developer and urban planner “tirelessly giving back to the community.” Nichols is probably best known in Santa Fe for his work on creating passive-solar residential developments and his design and development of the Second Street Studios, an 80-unit, 100,000-square-foot live/work project on five acres completed in 2008. Businesses that have located there cross the spectrum, including artist galleries, restaurants and small businesses. Nichols boasts highly of Second Street’s CoLAB, a 15-desk building where, for $300 a month, individuals get access to a personal desk, a conference room, the Internet and other necessities they might not have in a home office. Denise De Valle, the association member who suggested Nichols for the award, noted that prior to moving to Santa Fe in the 1970s, Nichols worked for various firms in Los Angeles developing subsidized housing projects and other urban renewal projects throughout the United States. “Upon moving to Santa Fe in the 1970s, Wayne and Susan, his wife, pioneered the early development of passive solar design and construction,” De Valle said in her nomination letter. That included First Village (though active, not passive, construction), built on 40 acres south of the city in the early 1980s and considered the first solar subdivision in the country. It has been praised in such publications as National Geographic, Life, Time and BusinessWeek magazines. Much of the work by the couple has been conducted through their companies, Communico Inc. and the Wayne Nichols Agency. But Nichols has not confined his work on solar energy to just Santa Fe.

In brief

Realtors group gives $12K to local programs The Santa Fe Association of Realtors has awarded $12,000 to support two local community programs. SFAR’s Community Services Committee chairwoman, Donna Delgado, announced the two contributions at the association’s December membership meeting, a $7,000 gift to Dollars4Schools and a gift of $5,000 to Homewise’s “Charity Begins at Home” program. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to give back to the community through these donations,” Delgado said. “Each year the association donates funds for community support and affordable housing. This year, our committee chose Dollars4Schools as the sole recipient of our community donation. The funds will be used for Dollars4Schools ‘Basic Needs’ program at three local schools in the city’s south side. The funds were raised through two functions, an annual ‘Super Yard Sale’ and a silent auction at the Realtor of the Year Dinner.” The association’s award to Homewise’s “Charity Begins at Home” program will assist two families in fulfilling the dream

UNM program benefits students, small businesses By Stacy Sacco

For The New Mexican

hen the time came for Albuquerque’s Bosque School to write a three- to five-year strategic plan, it was only natural that the progressive private school would choose to work with students from another innovative environment — the Small Business Institute of The University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Management. “We’re an institution that focuses on thinking outside the norm,” said William Handmaker, head of school at Bosque, where students in sixth to 12th grades prepare for higher educaStacy tion. “Instead of going the regular Sacco route, here was the chance to work with UNM.” The “regular route” for most small businesses is to hire a management consultant at a cost of thousands of dollars. The Small Business Institute assigned three students to work with Bosque School for $500.

Critical feedback Handmaker heard about the program from a member of the school’s board of directors who had experience with the Small Business Institute while studying at UNM. After hearing a pitch from an institute representative, the board signed a letter of engagement — which ensures confidentiality, among other things — and started working with two grad students and one undergrad, Tyler Briggs, in September. The school wanted the strategic plan to suggest how it could adjust to the state’s struggling economy and proceed with facilities improvements and efforts to build the school’s endowment fund. That fund allows the school to award $1.8 million in need-based financial aid every year to 35 percent of the students and another $2 million in college merit scholarships. “We wanted people to come from outside to give us critical feedback,” Handmaker said. “It was surprising how quickly they [understood] us. They asked good, insightful questions. Wherever we end up, we’ll be a better institution for having gone through this process.”

In the mid-1970s, he and his wife, along with Doug Balcombe, the solar energy czar at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and architect Ed Mazria, an early and current solar power guru, together conducted nationwide workshops “teaching thousands of people all over America how to do passive solar design, construction architecture and development … and we used our [Santa Fe] work as examples,” Nichols said. It was the short-lived heyday of the passive energy boom during the Jimmy Carter years, before the Reagan administration pulled the plug and spirit on solar developments. “We thought we were rock stars, and in a way we kind of were,” Nichols said. Nichols laments that the passive solar energy/conservation movement has taken a back seat to what he calls the “gizmos and gadgets” of active solar power. There should be more of a reliance on the combination of the two, Nichols said. “Energy rating systems that are being used and standardized into building codes don’t recognize the importance of passive solar. They are relying more and more on technology and … we have a technology that’s thousands of years old that will outperform all the gadgets in the world.” Simply put, in a passive system, windows and glass doors act as collectors of the sun’s energy, and the interior structures — such as walls — store that energy.

Over the past 10 years, the Santa Fe Association of Realtors has donated more than $350,000 to local community groups for the betterment of Santa Fe.

Taos-based ticketing company has new owner The Taos-based Siriusware, a leading North American provider of ticketing and point-of-sale software, hardware solutions and professional services to the ski and attractions sectors, has been acquired by Accesso Technology Group, a technology solutions provider to the global attractions and leisure industry. “This is a true strategic alliance and we are thrilled to join forces with Accesso, and firmly believe we can deliver even more value to our current and future clients by working together to further expand our innovative solutions,” said Mark Danemann, Siriusware founder and president. “The move allows us to further enhance our robust technology portfolio to better meet the needs of the industry, provide more options to our clients and open up new opportunities to expand and rapidly innovate.”

systems use additional equipment, such as solar panels, to collect, store and channel the energy. One of the accomplishments Nichols is most proud of is his creation of the nationwide $100,000 annual J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionary Urban Development under the auspices of the Urban Land Institute. The award is named for Nichols’ grandfather, a trailblazing urban developer in Kansas City, Mo., in the first half of the 20th century. Nichols is a common sight at city and county board meetings, advocating or opposing various projects and issues. “I come from a background of civic involvement. I just thought that was my job.” De Valle said Nichols “keeps us all working together and in the same direction.” Nichols is cautiously optimistic about the city’s future. “Our city is blessed with those most sought-after qualities of walkability, human scale, a historical connection and identity, architectural integrity and coherence, diversity of uses, and a world-class setting,” Nichols said. “Our mission must be to preserve and protect our very special jewel of a city. … We have a dynamic future if we just don’t screw it up.” Dennis J. Carroll can be reached at Carroll. news1@gmail.com or 231-0852.

Siriusware has been providing the prevailing point-of-sale solution in the ski and snowsports industry since 1989, servicing more than 130 ski resorts of all sizes from North America to New Zealand, from local ski hills to large destination resorts. Siriusware’s 120 additional clients range from amusement and water parks to museums, science centers and a wide variety of attractions. Its range of services helps operators manage ticketing and admissions; membership and season-pass processing; onsite retail, food and beverage; and integrated credit and debit card processing, among others, and can deliver those features through a single, integrated solution. “This acquisition aligns two like-minded teams and two highly complementary product offerings that, together, can unlock greater value in traditional markets and in new ones,” said Tom Burnet, Accesso CEO. “Siriusware’s solution expands our capabilities and allows us to offer support and innovation across multiple touch points in a guest’s leisure journey — from ticketing and queuing to payments and point of sale.” Under terms of the deal, Siriusware will retain its Taos headquarters, and Danemann will serve as president of the Siriusware division of the company. All 60 Siriusware employees will continue to work for the company.

The collaboration with Bosque School is one example of how the Small Business Institute exposes business students to real-life challenges while also providing businesses low-cost professional consulting assistance with projects such as marketing, strategic planning, financing, leadership, human resources and developing or updating a business plan. At the institute, students have access to national and local databases and research information that would normally cost businesses thousands of dollars to purchase on their own, said Briggs, who is one semester away from graduation and close to wrapping up his first draft of the strategic plan with his classmates. Small Business Institute students work under the close supervision of faculty members — usually as part of a class project. David Cavazos, assistant professor, said, “The level of input from professors and the access to resources that no small business could afford make the program an important resource for business and a learning incubator for students.” Since its founding in 1978, the institute has assisted more than 600 businesses, including startups, expanding businesses, nonprofit organizations and family enterprises. The institute works with about 25 businesses each semester and is accepting applications for its spring 2014 semester; the deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Jan. 10.

THE NEW MEXICAN Tuesday, December 10, 2013

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Our View: Overactive police hurting state’s image, Dec. 1 I want to thank The Santa Fe New Mexican for “ the excellent ‘media hysteria’ contribution against

all police officers in our state, regardless if they are good ones or bad apples. Your editorial on the subject matter of a ‘police state’ is laughable at best, but I guess your editorial opinion must get the last word. Yup, lump them all together into one basket. They all fit the same mold of racists and civil rights violators of the 1960s. Apparently, our local newspaper is the final matter of experts of defining on what racism really is and the exposure of the tales of excessive police force in New Mexico. The Santa Fe New Mexican should also be very proud for creating an atmosphere of more police hate against the blue and the badge. Apparently, it is OK to bash the New Mexico State Police and every police officer in uniform, because The Santa Fe New Mexican editorial staff said so.” F.C.

Now you bring to attention what has been the “ police staple for decades. And here I thought I was

the one living under a freaking rock! What took you so long? Oh yeah, I forgot — when Hispanics are being proﬁled, it’s OK, but once it’s someone else, we get this muck! Get real. Nothing will change until all the Hispanics are taken care of, right?” A.P.

Governor to push repeal of immigrant license law, Dec. 4 OK, I am not a big fan of Susana [Martinez], but “ I have to say this is one thing I agree with her on. As

an American citizen, I’m tired of hearing about immigrants’ demands and tired of hearing about other Americans who stand up for the rights of immigrants instead of standing up for their own country! How sad that there are Americans who cannot see the way our country is being handed over on a silver platter. On Brian Egolf’s comment about the governor taking away licenses from some New Mexicans who need to take their kids to school, the point is, these are not New Mexicans — they are immigrants, probably most of who are here illegally. This is the mentality I’m talking about in the ﬁrst part of my post.” K.M.

She could offer driver’s licenses like some of the “ other states that have all of their personal informa-

tion, address, photo, driver’s license number, date of birth, with something on the license that shows they are here illegally. In Santa Fe, since we are a sanctuary city, this would go a long way in identifying those who commit crimes.” L.G.

Ha! Once again this administration is shifting “ its focus to immigration. Perhaps it is because the

governor has failed to solve other issues facing this state. Education, jobs, social services. We thought [Bill] Richardson was a joke; Susana is even worse. New Mexico continues to struggle. No better than Mississippi or West Virginia.” M.O.

State officer in minivan shooting is ﬁred, Dec. 6

“

Speeding does not justify the actions of this ofﬁcer, neither does her driving off. No ticket is worth a life, adult or child. This officer clearly did wrong by shooting at the vehicle.” J.G.

“

I’m sorry, but shooting at any vehicle as it is speeding away has no beneﬁt. And shooting at a vehicle with kids in it has even less. Unless the person in the car is shooting at you or threatening your life, throwing slugs at them isn’t a proper response. Bashing the window in was the ﬁrst threat, and it was done by an officer. I know police officers think they must ‘do their job’. Understand that ‘your job’ is to protect property and life, not destroy it.” H.T.

COMMENTARY: ARJUN SETHI

One story: Traveling while Sikh E arlier this year, I headed to the airport for a flight from Washington to Boston. When I arrived, I began a familiar routine. I scanned the flight schedule board, checked in my bag and headed to security. There, I removed my jacket, scarf, shoes and belt. A Transportation Security Administration officer motioned me to walk forward. I stepped not too fast, not too slowly and without a beep. I passed the test — or so I thought. Almost immediately, the officer directed me to the corner, where another officer and an army of machines waited. I was about to undergo secondary screening. Why? Because I wear a turban. For Sikh Americans, humiliation is a prerequisite to air travel. It’s not clear when my turban became a subject of suspicion. Sikhism dates to the 15th century and has 23 million followers worldwide. Sikhs first immigrated to the United States more than 100 years ago; they helped build the transcontinental railroad. Many Sikhs are distinguishable by their hair, which they grow long as an article of faith and cover with a turban — a long, neatly folded cloth that comes in many colors and styles. Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India, wears one. So do hundreds of thousands of Sikh Americans. As I trudged to the corner, boarding pass in hand, an agent announced the TSA policy: My turban had to be patted down. Either I could or he would. Had I wanted to protest, that would have been the time. I have considered speaking out on many trips, yet I’ve always remained silent. Maybe that’s because airports are diminished-rights zones, where the public must surrender certain liberties. Would expressing my identity really stand

a chance? Or perhaps I just don’t want to be the angry minority who causes a scene at airport security. This time I got off easy. I’ve had officers simply announce their intention and then prod my turban like they’re mining for gold. I gently brushed my hands across the blue cloth and nudged a few corners. Insufficient, the officer said. I tried again. This time I poked and pulled. Thirty seconds later, he was satisfied and swabbed my hands for bomb residue. The machine malfunctioned and a few minutes passed. So did about a dozen travelers and a few suspicious glances. “All clear,” the officer said. As I dressed, I heard him whisper, “Sorry, man. Sikhs get a raw deal.” The TSA justifies this raw deal by saying that all bulky clothing, not just turbans, may prompt secondary screening. Yet over the years, I’ve gone through security next to passengers wearing bell-bottoms or hefty sweaters — even one wearing a leg brace — and they weren’t singled out. In response to thousands of Sikh travelers voicing similar concerns, the Sikh Coalition last year launched FlyRights, a mobile-phone application that allows travelers to instantly report misconduct or bias by TSA officers. During a 2009 meeting with Sikh advocates, TSA officials provided a partial explanation for the disparate treatment. When I asked why turbans are treated differently, an engineer responded that the human head is a particularly amenable place for hiding an improvised explosive device because its weight can be equally distributed. After a brief silence, he looked as befuddled as I did. The TSA officials present at that meeting promised that advanced imaging tech-

nology, which the agency had started to roll out, would eliminate the need for patdowns. That turned out not to be true. The invasive technology can filter through layers of cloth to illuminate travelers’ genitals but apparently not their hair. It’s hard to know whether second-class citizenship at U.S. airports has long-term consequences. Perhaps it fuels misunderstanding and bias. Sikhs have been the victims of countless hate crimes and biasrelated incidents since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Just two months ago, a Columbia University professor was assaulted by a group of assailants on bicycles. Earlier this year, truck driver Jagjeet Singh was taunted by Mississippi authorities after he had been pulled over. At a subsequent hearing, he was asked to leave the courtroom because the judge didn’t like his “rag.” There is no way of quantifying what singling out Sikh passengers does to the public perception of Sikhs — nor what it does to its victims, including Sikh children, who aren’t usually exempt from this intrusion. What is certain, however, is that it mocks the Constitution’s promise of democracy for all and unravels the myth of equality under the law. When I’m pulled aside and others walk by, it amounts to not just delay, inconvenience and awkwardness in being separated from friends and colleagues. It’s a pronouncement that Sikh Americans are outsiders. That an institution meant to serve and protect me has cast a net of suspicion over my entire community. That an article of faith that is older than the nation in which I live is now an article of suspicion. The writer is a lawyer in Washington. He is on Twitter @arjunsethi81.

LOOKING IN: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Renewable rule gives credit where it isn’t due

hould a student receive double the credit for doing the minimum work required? If not, why should utility companies be allowed to? On Nov. 20, the Public Regulation Commission adjusted a rule allowing companies to receive double and even triple the credit of a “Renewable Energy Certificate” for using renewable energy resources such as solar, biomass and geothermal energy (“PRC eases renewable energy rules,” Nov. 21). Instead of a 1-to-1 ratio of one credit per 1 kilowatt-hour of renewable energy, companies will receive more certificates for using the same amount of renewable energy. As a native New Mexican, I know personally that the state is full of solar potential — we’re one of the sunniest states in the U.S. This altered rule is very misleading. I strongly urge the PRC to reconsider the amendments and adjustments they have made to this rule. New Mexico needs to take advantage of the renewable energy resources that are readily available.

Celebrate the best way I believe the lyrics from John Lennon, “So this is Christmas,” is an appropriate way to start this letter. It is the Christmas season all over the world. As I acknowledge this, I cannot help but wonder, which country and/or who are the people who keep and honor Christmas in the most fitting way? Is it the United States? Is it because we have more than 7 percent unemployment due in part to the

fact that so, so many of our Christmas gifts come from other countries? Is it because Republicans cannot agree that all, I repeat, all Americans need health insurance? Is it because U.S. troops (human beings) are fighting and dying in two countries where it is highly rumored these governments are very corrupt? Is it because after more than 200 years of being a country, we still have bigotry and prejudice? If you are like me and don’t like the answers to these questions, it is not too late to make the answers more positive for the sake of our future. We have got to come to some understanding that we cannot continue to purchase almost everything that is made in other countries! We have to

understand that U.S. troops are also moms, dads, sons and daughters. Our U.S. troops need, I repeat, need to be brought home now. As for bigotry and the denial of health insurance, I believe these go hand in hand. How can a society claim to be civilized when so many millions of our citizens are without the very necessary safety net of health insurance? Perhaps this Christmas will be the start of better times in our country. If we all truly understand the real meaning of Christmas, we can change things for the better. Timothy (Tim) Monroe Bledsoe

Mayor’s race down to three as Wurzburger drops out, Dec. 7 Frankly, we have a pretty lousy pool of candidates “ to choose from. We must have really scraped the bot-

tom, and this is the muck that we have left. Honestly, not one of them will make a good mayor. And as always, the citizens of Santa Fe will end up paying the price. How is choosing the lesser of three evils even a choice? It’s like choosing between a broken leg, a broken arm or a broken jaw. Anyway you look at it, there is no good option. You are going to be laid up for a while and it’s going to hurt — a lot!” A.L.

Tests leave out the humanity of kids

he New Mexico Public Education Department, in the name of reform, has completely forgone the student in favor of the test score. The department is so immersed in the culture of testing, bureaucrats seem to have forgotten about the human interactions between teachers and students. The most important part of your children’s education is their classroom experience and the lasting impact of the student-teacher interaction. The intangible characteristics of a quality education, the moments that shape and influence the course of our lives, are very hard to measure on a test. Yet today, testing drives all the decisions that relate to education. The scope, character and pacing of your student’s education is dictated by data and statistics, not human growth and development. Since the advent of No Child Left Behind, our state has spent an enormous amount of time and millions of dollars testing students. The Public Education Department has an entire bureaucracy to compile, analyze and regurgitate the data associated with these tests. More and more of our precious resources are dedicated to testing. We have used the New Mexico Standards Based Assessment for the last several years. However, this test has changed year in and year out, as has the group of students who get tested.

For example, the exam administered to sophomore and junior high school students included no writing this past year, because of the prohibitive cost of grading such a test. Never mind that writing is a valid assessment tool and a vital skill for success in college and carrier readiness. The comparison of data from year to year is difficult because some grades are not tested and because of changes made to the test. The data, while showing basic trends, are problematic at best and nearly meaningless at worst. Despite the lack of meaningful data, the department places more importance on standardized testing every year. Students are being tested more this year than ever before. As a way of creating an alternative to passing the Standards Based Assessment for graduation, the Public Education Department has implemented a system of additional tests called end-of-course exams. These tests will be generated for all classes. Students are required to pass these exams if they cannot demonstrate proficiency on the Standards Based Assessment. Students will take these exams in every subject, even electives like physical education and the arts. The Public Education Department needs these tests because teacher evaluations are being based primarily on test scores. Students will be taking end-of-course exams not for their benefit but because the department has developed

a testing-based evaluation system for teachers. Is this a student-first approach? The Public Education Department’s attitude can be illustrated with this example: The state is requiring an end-of-course exam in chorus, which is performing at a regional competition. Due to budget constraints, chorus students at my school have to raise money to pay for the gas to attend this competition. The state can afford to spend millions in private contracts to administer exams, but kids are selling candy for gas money. This type of irony is becoming more and more the norm. The tests we give students take time and resources away from teaching and learning. Testing takes teachers out of classrooms and disrupts the entire schedule. More and more time is spent testing and less and less time is spent teaching. Your student is missing instruction so more time can be given to testing. The Public Education Department is so far entrenched in the imagined importance of all this data, that it is ignoring and disregarding the education of your children. It is time we demand our state sees children as humans and not statistics. It is time we measure success by actual human growth and student merit and not along the lines of statistical trends.

COMMENTARY: PAUL TAYLOR

Mandela set example for world W

hen, after 27 years, Nelson Mandela finally was released from prison, the world marveled at his generous spirit, even temperament, genteel manners, disarming wit, ready smile and lack of bitterness. Admirable as they were, those saintly virtues don’t begin to explain his political genius. Mandela was also cunning, iron-willed, bull-headed, contemptuous — and more embittered than he let on. He needed all of his traits — soft and hard — to engineer a political miracle: persuading a sitting government to negotiate its own abdication by yielding power to the very people it had ruthlessly oppressed. Historic transfers of that magnitude typically occur only at gunpoint. To pull it off peacefully, Mandela, who died Thursday, knew that he had to tame the racial fears and hatreds that have haunted beautiful South Africa since the first whites settled there four centuries ago. He needed to teach militant blacks that they couldn’t take revenge and frightened whites that they shouldn’t fear retribution. Mandela didn’t do all that by himself. On both sides of the racial divide, he had the help of legions of sophisticated negotiators determined to find a peaceful path to democracy. His main partner, President Frederik W. de Klerk, was a shrewd Afrikaner who had the foresight to understand that the grotesque apartheid system he once championed was destroying his country, and he had the fortitude to stick with his surrender-without-a-fight strategy through four arduous years of start-and-stop negotiations, even as the deal grew less attractive for the white minority that had put him in power. The two men never got on well. And Mandela had no compunctions about using de Klerk as a scapegoat whenever it served his purposes. At a news conference the day before they were honored as co-recipients of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, Mandela repeated

OUR VIEW

Legislators must not let up on health audit

D his (dubious) accusation that de Klerk was the mastermind behind deadly faction fighting among rival black groups. The charge infuriated de Klerk but played well among militants in the black townships. Mandela sometimes used his martyr’s halo like a club against his own supporters. At a campaign rally in 1994, when some rowdy black youths ripped down the banner of a small political party they considered corrupt, Mandela called them “hooligans” and “animals” and said they were a disgrace to the liberation movement. He ordered the chastened teenagers to rehang the banner, which they promptly did. But as the rally was breaking up, he gave them back their dignity. He told them that he loved them and that they would be comrades forever. Scold, flatter, demand, cajole — when you occupy the moral high ground, your tactical options are practically limitless. Mandela’s genius was knowing how and when to deploy them all. In those days, South Africa had plenty of white militants, too. The most dangerous

moment of Mandela’s presidential campaign came when several thousand heavily armed whites left their farms and drove to Bophuthatswana, one of the black homelands set up under apartheid, where they planned to join the forces of the pro-apartheid black puppet government and derail the election. Instead, their presumed allies turned on them, and the day quickly devolved into a bloody, boozy fiasco. A photograph that captured the symbolism of the last gasp of the white militants — published on front pages around the world — depicted a wounded, khaki-clad white farmer pleading for mercy as a young black homeland soldier hovered over him with a rifle. The young man executed the farmer on the spot. Two months later, Mandela was elected president. It took a few days to count the ballots, and to pass time, he invited small groups of foreign correspondents into a hotel suite, where he conducted interviews. During my session, I asked about that young soldier. The day of the incident, candi-

date Mandela had condemned the shooting and said that the rule of law must prevail. Now that he was about to become president, I asked, would he bring that soldier to justice? Mandela gave me a cold stare. “Why is it that the Western press would focus so much on that one case when so many thousands of blacks have been the victims of so much political violence for so many years?” I had a response, but my tongue went numb. None of the other reporters in the room dared to venture a follow-up. Case closed. The great man knew how to play the race card. When our interview session came to a close, I broke one of the cardinal rules of journalism: I handed Nelson Mandela a campaign poster that I had collected as a keepsake and asked him to sign it. He gave me a firm handshake and warm smile and wrote a lovely note. It hangs in my office, where I look at it every day. Paul Taylor was The Washington Post’s bureau chief in South Africa from 1992 to 1995.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

State police situation opportunity for discussion

he time has come for a serious, intense and open dialogue with the New Mexico State Police. The October incident with Oriana Ferrell near Taos and the other recent lethal force incidents should serve as a wake-up call for citizens. Throughout the United States, there is a trend toward militarization of police. This has come about through policies, funding practices, equipment purchases and trainings that emphasize the use of force over conflict resolution and de-escalation skills. If we are to reverse this trend it will take committed citizen outreach and proactive leadership within our police departments. It is, however, essential to functional democracy that this trend be addressed in our communities and on the state level. State police Chief Pete Kassetas should use the recent events as an opportunity for radical change within the state police department. Dariel Garner

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 10, 1913: At a special meeting of the board of governors of the Santa Fe club, attended by all the governors except Col. B.M. Cutting, who is in the east, and attorney A.B. Renehan, who is in Albuquerque, the report of the special committee on a permanent club house was received and plans considered. The report recommends the purchase of the long adobe building opposite the Cathedral as ideal for the club house. Various improvements are also suggested so that the clubmen will have a large ball room, a bowling alley, shower baths and a tennis court, besides the various reading and billiard rooms suitable to a club.

mother. I have known a lot of mothers over the years and am a mother myself. I do not know any mother who would react the way that mother did when stopped for speeding, especially with her children in the car. So sad that the New Mexico State Police caved in on this one. What an example that mother has set for her children. Dianne Wright

Games movie. There were desperate alliances and machinations with a villain, empty-headed, entitled people and underdogs fighting the good fight. There was a chance to elect another woman and tip the balance from the old guard-entrenched board to a new dawn: a chance to look into secrets and systems, to become more green, to improve member relations, dare I say, to change some things. But no. The old guard elected the men, and the status quo was safely defended. The next film in the trilogy is about revolution. Robin Laughlin

Santa Fe

espite efforts from state legislators and various journalism groups to get their hands on an audit that sent shock waves through New Mexico’s system for treating mentally ill poor people, two district courts have agreed that the information needs to remain secret — for now. At issue, of course, is whether a financial audit should be kept hidden once it becomes a tool for law enforcement. This audit led to state suspension of 15 New Mexico firms providing services to substance abusers and to the mentally ill. The state Human Services Department, after receiving the audit, froze federal Medicaid payments to state providers and dismantled a system of services and brought in Arizona providers. According to the agency, there was no choice. The audit — done by a Boston agency — had found fraud and mismanagement so severe that New Mexico faced losing federal funds. The audit was turned over to Attorney General Gary King to decide whether a criminal case could be made. He agreed with the state that the document needed to stay secret so that his investigation was not compromised. Citizens, mental health advocates, companies that provided services, legislators — anyone outside the state bureaucracy or the Attorney General’s Office — could not judge these claims because the details of the audit were not released. Even state Auditor Hector Balderas had to demand to see the audit for himself; and his job is ensuring that audits are done right and taxpayer dollars are spent correctly. Despite securing the audit, Balderas discovered his copy of the document had been altered, a fact that the department still has not explained adequately. The auditor — Public Consulting Group of Boston — said it found no “credible allegations of fraud.” That statement was not in the copy Balderas received. To make sure he is working with the correct facts, Balderas had to go back to court. Even though much of the document is still shrouded in secrecy, the Legislative Finance Council is holding hearings this week as different agencies submit their budgets. We encourage legislators, when top officials of the Human Services Department are testifying about their budget on Wednesday, to ask why the audit sent to Balderas was changed. Taxpayers deserve to know why Balderas did not get the complete document. There are many more questions to be answered, of course. Providers whose businesses were shut down and whose livelihoods stripped away deserve to know more about the charges against them. Individuals and families who need mental health services and who still are having difficulties with the Arizona providers should know what led to their treatment being upset. Legislators are about the only ones who can shed some light on what has happened since the mental health system in this state was turned upside down. They must not let up. We understand that an investigation of criminal conduct has protection under the state open records law; but an audit done for financial purposes, not as a criminal investigation, should be available for perusal. The highly redacted version that has been released gives almost no information. However, two judges have decided otherwise, so citizens who paid for the audit will remain in the dark unless a higher court rules differently. In the meantime, we encourage Balderas and legislators to keep asking questions — especially about changes in services since the out-of-state takeover. We are encouraged, too, that Balderas has hired an independent auditor to check the statistical analysis of the original report and to further make sure there are enough safeguards, going forward, against Medicaid fraud. Because the report was altered, that important work has been delayed. We have praised the Human Services Department for seeking to prevent abuse of taxpayer dollars. We still, however, question whether the immediate death penalty for 15 providers was necessary — we believe that all New Mexico providers will not prove to be crooks (some have been reinstated), and that going out-of-state was not the only, or best, solution. Because of the secrecy, taxpayers won’t know the complete facts for months, maybe years. That’s too long to wait. Send your letters of no more than 150 words to letters@sfnewmexican.com.

NEW YORK — Here’s something to wag a tongue at: MTV says Miley Cyrus is the best artist of the year. The former child star twerked her way to the top. Her eye-popping duet with Robin Thicke on the MTV Video Music Awards was one of the year’s most talked about cultural events. MTV said Monday the VMA duet on “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” was the year’s most watched video on its websites. Similarly, the MTV artist site devoted to Cyrus had more visits than any other artist’s.

Study: TV violence ratings fail parents By Lynn Elber

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like The Walking Dead but can equal them in graphic gore, a failure of the TV ratings system, a new study found. Scenes of stabbings, shootings, rape, decapitation and mutilation invariably received a TV-14 “parents strongly cautioned” rating on network TV, according to the Parents Television Council study released Monday. But similar fare on cable typically was given the most stringent label, TV-MA for mature audiences only, researchers for the media watchdog group found. “There are zero-point-zero series rated TV-MA on broadcast,” said the media watchdog council President Tim Winter, despite programs that are awash in violent scenes. It is vital to examine the media’s effect on children and real-world violence, Winter said, adding that he hopes his nonpartisan group’s findings are part of a wide-ranging search for solutions. The study of 14 series during a four-week period found a 6 percent difference in the overall incidence of violence of all types on cable versus broadcast, with 1,482 violent acts on the cable programs and 1,392 on the network series. Federally regulated broadcasters face sanctions if they cross the line on indecency or expletives but not violence. With competition from unregulated cable and its variously daring series such as Breaking Bad and Masters of Sex, networks have resorted to more mayhem. Episode ratings are decided by networks and cable channels, similar to how the movie studios’ Motion Picture Association of America self-governs by issuing its own movie ratings. The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, which is composed of TV industry members and public interest advocates, checks for ratings uniformity and responds to public complaints. It received 38 complaints in the past year. The ratings system “serves as a valuable resource for parents and helps them make responsible viewing decisions based on what is appropriate for their own families. The industry regularly reviews the TV ratings

to ensure they continue to be useful to parents,” Missi Tessier, spokeswoman for the board’s executive secretariat, said in response to the PTC study. NBC, CBS, Fox and CW did not comment on the study, which did not include any ABC shows. Under political and social pressure in the mid-1990s, the voluntary system was established by the TV industry to be used with the so-called V-chip that can block shows electronically. Networks find it financially vital to avoid applying TV-MA ratings, Winters said, which scare off advertisers. To assess how the ratings are used, the PTC said it analyzed the seven shows each on cable and broadcast TV that had the highest levels of violence. Each show’s first four episodes of the 2012-13 season were analyzed. TV-14 warns that a program may include intense violence, sex or language not suitable for children under 14, while TV-MA is intended for shows that might have indecent language, graphic violence or explicit sexuality, according to the TV Parental Guidelines webpage. The PTC study defined graphic as “especially vivid, brutal and realistic acts of violence” that are explicitly depicted. Among the network examples cited: u A bar fight scene on NBC’s Revolution in which a character wields a sword and a dagger to slash open a man’s chest, cut another’s neck and stab a third in the chest. The blood-spattered character pulls his sword from the last victim’s body. u CW’s Supernatural, in which a trail of blood leads to the bodies of two priests impaled on a cemetery’s wrought-iron fence. Their eyes have been gouged out and blood drips down their faces. u A woman is tortured in captivity, with an implanted camera sending images of her agony online in an episode of CBS’ Criminal Minds. An FBI agent watches as a hammer is driven into the victim’s head. Depictions of shootings, stabbings and dismemberment were found on cable shows including AMC’s The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad and FX’s Sons of Anarchy. Five of the seven cable shows had TV-MA ratings, with Walking Dead eventually switching from TV-14 to MA.

UNM out of poll for 3rd week Lobos downgraded to unofficial No. 27 ranking

CHICAGO — Neither the brutal cold nor the league’s worst defense could stop Josh McCown and the Chicago Bears. Bears 45 McCown Cowboys 28 threw for a career-high four touchdowns, and the Bears scored on their first eight possessions to grab a share of the NFC North lead with a 45-28 victory over the Dallas

Cowboys on a frigid Monday night. The Bears (7-6) retired Hall of Famer Mike Ditka’s number at halftime and pulled even with Detroit in the division race on a night when the game-time temperature was in single digits and the wind chill factor was below zero. The loss left Dallas (7-6) a game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East and owner Jerry Jones calling for more aggressive play-calling on defense. The bone-chilling conditions

didn’t stop McCown from throwing for 348 yards or keep the Bears from running away with a lopsided victory. It was one they desperately needed after consecutive losses, and although Detroit holds the head-tohead sweep, the Bears are back in the thick of the playoff race. “All we could do is try to beat the Dallas Cowboys,” coach Marc Trestman said. “We kept it as simple as that. We didn’t get into all the hypotheticals and all the things that go

into winning or losing a game.” Alshon Jeffery’s leaping catch between two defenders in the corner of the end zone in the closing seconds of the second quarter gave the Bears a 24-14 lead, and they continued to pour it on in the second half after a gut-wrenching overtime

Ex-managers Torre, La Russa, Cox elected to baseball Hall of Fame

By Jim O’Connell

The Associated Press

Arizona is No. 1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll for the first time without Lute Olson as coach. And for a third straight week, The University of New Mexico is not in the poll. Despite winning four straight after suffering their only loss of the season Nov. 22 against unbeaten Massachusetts, the Lobos (7-1) actually lost ground in both Top 25 national polls this week. They received just 62 points in the AP voting, placing them an unofficial 27th. In the USA Today Coaches Poll released Monday morning, they had just 28 points to place a distant 28th. Both vote totals are down slightly from last week — and that’s before UNM scored wins on the road at New Mexico State and home against unbeaten Cincinnati. The Lobos will get their chance to make noise this week, however, when they travel to Kansas City for a nationally televised game against No. 13 Kansas. The Jayhawks (6-2) slipped seven spots after a road loss at Colorado over the weekend.

New coach in Washington says it was right time By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Chris Petersen needed the right opportunity and right situation before he could finally make the decision to take on a different challenge. A challenge that wasn’t about trying to gain respect on a national stage, but about proving he could succeed on a bigger stage. “I think I go back to the timing Chris Petersen of things, feeling I needed to take a step out of Boise to really grow and improve,” Petersen said. “This job is so tremendously challenging that it wasn’t about that. I was very comfortable being over there, very easy for me to be over there and really at the end of the day didn’t think it was best for me to be over there in terms of becoming the person and coach that I want to be.” Petersen was introduced as Washington’s new coach Monday at a news conference overlooking his new football home in Husky Stadium. It was affirmation of a stunning decision by

FIFA calls soccer fan violence in Brazil ‘very sad’ By Tales Azzoni

The Associated Press

SÃO PAULO — With disturbing images of fans hitting each other shown across Brazil, soccer’s governing body downplayed the risk of violence inside stadiums during the World Cup. FIFA condemned the mayhem in the southern city of Joinville, where fan fighting halted a decisive Brazilian league match for more than an hour Sunday. Four people were hospitalized, including one person who was airlifted from the field. “This is very sad for Brazilian football,” FIFA said in a statement to The Associated Press on Monday. “FIFA and the local organizing committee condemn any form of vio-

lence and such incidents should not happen in any football stadium.” The violence came only two days after FIFA held the draw for the 2014 World Cup with an extravagant ceremony in a resort in northeastern Brazil. Hundreds of fans from Atletico Paranaense and Vasco da Gama charged each other in Joinville, throwing kicks and punches while armed with sticks and metal bars. The fighting forced the referee to stop the match about 17 minutes into the first half. Security in Joinville was handled by private guards instead of police, similar to what is planned for the World Cup. Only stewards are in

That dang Rally Squirrel still haunts Roy Halladay. Citing a desire to avoid surgery for an ailing back and wanting to spend more time with his family, the two-time Cy Young Award winner retired Monday after 16 seasons in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. Halladay signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Blue Jays, where he spent the first 12 years of his career. The 36-year-old right-hander choked up and held back tears while making the announcement at a news conference at the winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. “As a baseball player, you realize that’s something you can’t do the rest of your life,” Halladay said. “I really don’t have any regrets. You realize there’s other things for you to accomplish in life.” Halladay pitched a perfect game and also a postseason nohitter. But never made it to the World Series and leaves without the ring he badly wanted. The Phillies had already won three straight division championships, the 2008 World Series and 2009 NL championship by the time Halladay arrived in a blockbuster trade the same day Philadelphia sent ace Cliff Lee to Seattle in a separate deal. The Phillies had the best record in the majors in Halladay’s first two seasons, but lost to San Francisco in the 2010 NLCS and St. Louis Cardinals in the 2011 NL division series. In his final postseason performance, Halladay lost to Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals 1-0 in the decisive Game 5 of that 2011 matchup. Down 2-1 in the series, the Cardinals won two straight to upset the Phillies after a squirrel scampered across home plate as Skip Schumaker batted

against Roy Oswalt. “I think the one thing I took away from that is you can have the best team on paper, you can have the guys who want it the most,” Halladay said. “But when the squirrel runs across home plate while your team is trying to pitch, there is nothing you can do about that. So you really start to realize there are a lot of things out of your control. It takes more than nine guys. It takes nine guys, and it takes the 25 on the roster. It takes the coaches, the staff, and it takes a lot of luck.” Halladay played for the Phillies from 2010-13, finishing with two injury-plagued seasons. He won an NL Cy Young Award in 2010, throwing a perfect game that season and a no-hitter in his first postseason appearance. Halladay was 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA in 416 career games, including 390 starts. He had 67 complete games and 20 shutouts. His resume includes three 20-win seasons, eight All-Star games, and three other top-3 fin-

ishes for the Cy Young Award. Known as a workhorse, Halladay led the league in innings four times and in complete games seven times. “He was one of the best competitors who ever played this game and taught everyone around him to prepare the right way in order to be the best,” Phillies lefty Cole Hamels said. Halladay was a six-time All-Star, won the 2003 AL Cy Young Award and went 148-76 with a 3.43 ERA in 12 seasons with the Blue Jays. He was traded to the Phillies after the 2009 season, and was 40-16 with a 2.40 ERA in his first two years in Philadelphia. But back and shoulder issues limited Halladay in 2012-13. He was 15-13 with a 5.15 ERA in 38 starts. Halladay had shoulder surgery during the season and returned in September, but clearly wasn’t right. He was 4-5 with a 6.82 ERA in 13 starts this year. “It’s so much fun to play the game and go out and compete,” he said. “I looked forward

to that fifth day more than anything. To go out there and know it’s not going to feel good and I wasn’t going to do it the way I wanted was frustrating. I tried to give everything I can but something was holding me back. I felt I couldn’t give them what I wanted to.” Despite Halladay’s decline, the Phillies were still interested in bringing him back for another year if he was healthy and at a price much lower than the $20 million he earned in each of the last three seasons. He was a popular teammate and a valued presence in the clubhouse for his influence and strong work ethic. “Roy Halladay is the ultimate competitor,” second baseman Chase Utley said. “He is by far the hardest worker that I’ve ever seen and treated every game as if it were his last. It was no coincidence why he was the best pitcher of his era. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to watch him pitch for four years. I’ll miss his presence and passion but, most of all, I will miss his intensity.”

Immortals: Enemies on field, friends off Continued from Page B-1 Torre became the fifth manager to win four World Series championships, leading the Yankees to titles in 1996 and from 1998-00 — beating Cox’s Braves twice. After making only one trip to the playoffs in 14 seasons with the New York Mets, St. Louis and Atlanta, Torre guided the Yankees to the postseason in all 12 of his years in New York with a cool, patient demeanor. His popularity rankled Steinbrenner. “George Steinbrenner changed my life giving me that opportunity at the end of ’95,” said Torre, the seventh Yankees manager to be elected to the Hall. “He just wanted to win. He felt he owed it to the city. Maybe, the fact I was a New Yorker, it really struck a nerve with me.” Torre finished his career by leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to two NL West titles in three seasons, retiring after 2010 with a record of 2,326-1,997. He’s the only manager to have more than 2,000 hits as a player — he was the 1971 NL MVP — and 2,000 wins in the dugout. “Joe taught a lot of us about how to win the right way and lose the right way,” La Russa said. The savvy La Russa won World Series titles with Oakland in 1989 and with St. Louis in 2006 and ’11, retiring days after beating the Texas Rangers in a seven-game thriller. Of the nine managers with three or more World Series titles, the other seven all have been inducted. La Russa finished with the third-most wins by a manager in a career that began with the Chicago White Sox in 1979 and ended with a record of 2,7282,365. “I miss the winning and losing,” La Russa said. “Someday I’ll be with a team, I think. I’d like to be part of the competition again.” Cox’s managerial career

began in 1978 with Atlanta, but he was fired after four seasons — only one above .500. A fouryear run in Toronto ended in 1985 with an AL East title, and Ted Turner lured him back to the Braves as their GM. Cox returned to the dugout in 1990, and following one losing season he went on one of the most successful regular-season runs by any skipper, leading the Braves to 14 straight division titles and a World Series championship in 1995. He retired in 2010 fourth behind La Russa in career wins with a record of 2,504-2,001. Cigar-chomping and fiercely loyal to his players, Cox was ejected a major league record 159 times. Two of his pitchers during the remarkable stretch during the ’90s, 300-game winners Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, head the newcomers on this year’s players’ ballot. Results of voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America is

scheduled for Jan. 8. “I just hope Glav and Mad Dog can be on the stage with me,” Cox said. “That would be the final finishing touch, going in with those two.” Miller, the pioneering head of the players’ association from 1966-81, was rejected for admission to the Hall for the sixth time he appeared on a committee ballot. He fell one vote short of induction in 2010 and received no more than six votes this year. “Words cannot adequately describe the level of disappointment and disbelief I felt when learning that once again the Hall of Fame has chosen to ignore Marvin Miller and his unparalleled contributions to the growth and prosperity of Major League Baseball,” players’ association head Tony Clark said in a statement. “Over the past 50 years, no individual has come close to matching Marvin’s impact on the sport.” This year’s committee

included Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Carlton Fisk, Whitey Herzog, Tom Lasorda, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan, Phil Niekro and Frank Robinson; Blue Jays President Paul Beeston; retired club executive Andy MacPhail; Philadelphia President Dave Montgomery; White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf; Steve Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau; Bruce Jenkins of the San Francisco Chronicle; BBWAA Secretary-Treasurer Jack O’Connell; and retired Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Jim Reeves. This year’s ballot, chosen by a BBWAA-appointed historical overview committee, covers baseball’s expansion era. Players, managers, umpires, executives whose most significant impact was from 1973 and later were considered as part of a three-year cycle. The golden era (1947-72) will be voted on in 2014 and the pre-integration era (1871-1946) will be judged in 2015.

The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Blake Griffin scored 26 points, Chris Paul added 25 points and 13 assists, Clippers 94 and shorthanded Los 76ers 83 Angeles defeated Philadelphia. DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and a season-high 21 rebounds, and Jared Dudley scored 10 points for the Clippers, who won their second straight. The Clippers are 2-1 on a season-high tying seven-game road trip. Los Angeles played without guards J.J. Redick (injuries to right hand and wrist), Reggie Bullock (sprained left ankle) and Maalik Wayns (left knee). Forward Matt Barnes is out with a torn retina in his left eye.

BoBcats 115, Warriors 111 In Charlotte, N.C., Kemba Walker scored 27 of his 31 points in the second half, and the Charlotte Bobcats ruined Stephen Curry’s homecoming with a wire-to-wire victory over the Warriors. Curry overcame a slow start to finish with a season-high 43 points, 32 of them coming in the second half. Curry, a Charlotte native who burst on the national scene while playing at nearby Davidson College, scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, including a 27-footer with a hand in his face to cut the Bobcats’ lead to 111-109 with 11 seconds left. NUGGEts 75, WiZarDs 74 In Washington, Wilson Chandler scored 17 points, Nate Robinson added 16, and Kenneth Faried had a key block and transition dunk with 33 seconds left to lift Denver past Washington.

PREP ROUNDUP

Tierra Encantada has solid win over ATC The New Mexican

Fresh off a third-place finish in last weekend’s High Desert Classic, the Tierra Encantada boys basketball team continued its impressive start with a 62-47 win over the Academy for Technology and the Classics on Monday night at the Boys & Girls Clubs. Andrew Vanderbilt had a game-high 27 points for the Alarcranes while Mikey Trujillo dropped in 20. The pair were the perfect inside-out duo; the 6-foot Vanderbilt doing most of his damage in the low post as starting center, the 5-9 Trujillo on the perimeter as a guard. The Alarcranes (4-2) led 31-27 at halftime, then used a 12-6 run in the third quarter to begin the process of pulling away. “We had a good showing at the tournament, and we’re just keeping the momentum going in the right direction,”

said Tierra Encantada head coach Mark Archuleta. Ross Gyolloy-Pop led the way for ATC with 20 points.

sports ministry was involved in the case. She decried the lack of punishment in cases of fan violence in Brazil. “The country of football cannot live with violence in stadiums anymore,” Rousseff said on Twitter. “We need police in the stadiums.” Newspapers on Monday showed gruesome images of fans being stepped on, some of them motionless as rival supporters continued to pound them from every side. Some fans pulled away from their groups were attacked by up to 20 rivals. A police helicopter had to land on the field of the Arena Joinville to airlift a man with a serious head injury. Three of the seriously injured men remained hospitalized Monday, but none of their injuries was life threatening, according to the Hospital Sao Jose. Police said they detained three people Sunday.

The match, which earned Atletico Paranaense a place in next year’s Copa Libertadores and led to Vasco da Gama’s relegation, was played in Joinville instead of Atletico’s base in Curitiba because the club had already been punished for fan violence earlier this year. Several other cases of fan violence have hit the World Cup host country in recent months, with champion Cruzeiro, Vasco da Gama, Corinthians and Palmeiras all losing home games because of confrontations inside and outside stadiums. Cruzeiro’s title celebrations a few weeks ago had to be canceled because of fan fighting on the streets of Belo Horizonte. “We need to do something about this or it will never stop,” Atletico Paranaense defender Luiz Alberto said. “This is a World Cup country. Things need to change.”

Bears: Teams played in freezing conditions Continued from Page B-1 loss at Minnesota last week. McCown, making his fourth straight start with Jay Cutler sidelined by a high left ankle sprain, completed 27 of 36 passes. Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 100 yards, and Jeffery added 84 yards receiving after breaking his own team record the previous week with 249. Matt Forte chipped in with 102 yards rushing and 73 receiving, and the Bears racked up 490 yards in all. “Basically, we will have to make some adjustments in what we are doing defensively,” Jones said. “What that usually means is taking more risks on defense. But if you’re going to have the kind of match like we had tonight or certainly in New Orleans you have to take some risks. We have to double up and I’m sure that will be part of the plan on defense; more risks.” Tony Romo threw for three touchdowns but completed just 11 of 20 passes for 104 yards for Dallas. DeMarco Murray ran for 146 yards against the league’s worst run defense, but the Cowboys were overmatched after winning two straight. They also lost linebacker Sean Lee to another injury — this time a neck issue after making a tackle in the third quarter.

He missed the previous two games with a hamstring problem. “Certainly, it was a disappointing loss and the loss stings,” coach Jason Garrett said. “The worst thing we can do is have a hangover after this loss.” The game-time temperature was 8 degrees with the wind chill at minus 9, but the freezing conditions did nothing to slow either team in the early going. Garrett said both teams handled it well. Murray burned Chicago for 52 yards on six carries on the game’s opening possession to set up a 2-yard scoring pass from Romo to Dez Bryant, but the Bears scored just about every time they got the ball. After Bryant’s TD, McCown tied it with a 4-yard pass to Earl Bennett and put Chicago ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter with a 7-yard scramble, leaping at the goal line and getting spun in midair. Jason Witten tied it at 14 when he dragged Major Wright across the goal line on a 10-yard touchdown catch, but the Bears grabbed a three-point lead on Robbie Gould’s 27-yard field goal with 1:33 remaining in the half. Jeffery added to it with that neat catch after Dallas was forced to punt.

SPORTS

Lobos: Arizona gets top ranking Continued from Page B-1 As for Arizona, this is the sixth season in which the Wildcats have reached No. 1. The first time was a six-week stint in 1987-88 — a run ended when they lost in The Pit to the Lobos on Jan. 2, 1988. They went to reach the Final Four for the first time that season. Arizona also made it to No. 1 in 1988-89, 1997-98, 2000-01 and 2002-03, spending 29 weeks in all on top of the poll. The longest run of those appearances at the top was 13 weeks in 2002-03, a season in which the Wildcats were never ranked below fourth and finished No. 2 in the final poll with a 28-4 record. This will be coach Sean Miller’s first time with a No. 1 team, although his teams at Xavier did rank in the top 10. Arizona will host New Mexico State on Wednesday night. Off the top: Michigan State’s run at No. 1 ended at three weeks, the Spartans’ longest stint on top of the poll. The other two times Michigan State reached No. 1 — 1978-79 and 2000-01 — it was up there for two weeks. They’re back: North Carolina spent a week out of the poll. The

Tar Heels continued their upand-down early season by beating then-No. 1 Michigan State 79-65 on the road last week, knocking the Spartans from the top of the poll and earning their way back in at No. 18. The Tar Heels were 12th in the preseason poll and fell to No. 24 after losing to Belmont at home. A neutral-court win over thenNo. 3 Louisville moved them up to No. 16, but a loss to UAB had them out of the poll. The victory over Michigan State has them back in. The other newcomers this week are No. 21 Colorado and No. 24 Missouri. Both were ranked last season — Colorado for two weeks and the Tigers for all but six weeks. North Carolina’s victory over Michigan State extended the Tar Heels’ record for knocking off No. 1s. The win was North Carolina’s 13th over a top-ranked team, three more than runners-up Maryland and UCLA. Quick run: Dayton’s first Top 25 appearance in four years lasted one week. The Flyers beat Delaware State 56-46 and lost at Illinois State 81-75 last week. Dayton’s other loss was to No. 14 Baylor at the Maui Invitational.

Also gone: The other two teams to fall from the poll this week had been ranked all season. UCLA, which fell to 8-1 with the 80-71 loss to Missouri, was No. 22 in the preseason poll and reached as high as 18th, its ranking before falling out. Michigan, which was No. 7 in the preseason poll, fell out from 22nd with its third defeat of the season. The Wolverines lost 79-69 at Duke last week. Their other losses were 77-70 to Iowa State and 63-61 to Charlotte. The Wolverines were ranked for the last 44 weeks, a streak started with the preseason poll of 2011-12, the sixth-longest current streak. Duke has the longest current streak, 122 weeks starting with the preseason poll of 2007-08. Conference glance: With Michigan falling out of the Top 25, the Big Ten lost its lead among the conferences in ranked teams. The Big Ten is now tied with the Big 12 with four teams each in the rankings. The Pac-12, which lost UCLA but gained Colorado; the American Athletic Conference; the Atlantic Coast Conference; and the Southeastern Conference, which added Missouri this week, are tied with three teams each.

He also expressed gratitude for those he worked with at Boise State for more than a decade, first as offensive coordinator and then as the Broncos coach. The outreach from fans and former players appreciative of what Petersen did at Boise State has been staggering. Petersen compared it to being eulogized, rather than the bitterness that has accompanied other coaching changes. “It’s kind of strange when you read all this stuff. It’s almost like you died. It’s kind of weird. What I think is my heart and soul has been in Boise so long and they appreciate that and I wasn’t going to run out of there for just anything, money or a bigger stadium or anything like that. That’s never what I’ve been about and I think people realize that. I think they realize the timing was right, the fit was right and I think they’re good with it because it was truly those things.”

December

Valley Estates Mutual Water and Sewer Association Water System Improvements Española, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Project Number: 3038DW The New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA) has conducted a review of the proposed Valley Estates Mutual Water and Sewer Association (Association) Water System Improvements project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the New Mexico State Environmental Review Process (SERP) for the State Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund (DWRLF). The procedure is based on the implementing regulations for NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 6, 25, 35, and 1500) as followed by the Environmental Protection Agency, USDA Rural Utility Service Bulletin 1794A-602 and State regulations 20.7.7 NMAC. Parametrix has determined that this project is eligible for a Categorical Exclusion (CE). Accordingly, the project is exempted from further substantive environmental review requirements under 40 CFR Part 6.107(d)(1) and 6.505(b)(1). Following is a description of the proposed action and a statement of how the action meets the criteria for a CE. Project Description and Background: The Association has applied for a Drinking Water State Revolving Loan for the construction of a new water storage tank and installation of a new disinfection system inside the existing pump house. A 2010 inspection of the existing water storage tank revealed that corrosion on ring wall #3 has exceeded the limits of repair; the inspectors recommended complete replacement of the tank. The proposed project includes the construction of a 32,220 gallon bolted steel water storage tank, which will be of sufficient size to meet the current average daily demand for the Association. The bolted steel tank can be expanded in the future, if necessary, with minimal cost. The new tank will be constructed in the footprint of the existing tank. As the Association does not currently apply any treatment or chlorination to its drinking water supply, a new, sodium hypochlorite disinfection system will also be installed in the existing pump house to reduce disinfection costs and the risks associated with disinfection byproducts. All activities will take place in previously disturbed areas, and no new excavation or landclearing would be required.

The documentation to support this decision will be on file at the NMFA, and is available for public review upon request.

Woman has feelings for female co-worker Dear Annie: I’ve been employed for two months at a large retail outlet and have gotten to know many of the people who work there. “Amanda” is in the food section, and I am in the clothing department. I’m a straight woman, and she is bisexual. Two weeks ago, the two of us went out to dinner for her birthday. Since then, I have developed strong feelings for her. I asked Amanda to dinner the other night, and she turned me down, saying she had plans. Yesterday, another co-worker told me she saw Amanda having lunch with a woman who works in the automotive section. The co-worker said the two of them were very touchy. This made me really jealous and sad. Should I tell Amanda I have feelings for her? If so, how do I do that? — Confused and Maybe in Love Dear Confused: There are different types of jealousy. Amanda seems to be a popular girl. If you consider yourself to be straight, you should examine whether your jealousy is romantic in nature or whether it’s the type that female friends develop when one of them picks a different “best friend.” If you want a romantic relationship, let Amanda know by asking her again to lunch, dinner, a movie or other entertainment outside of work. If she is repeatedly “busy,” it means she is not interested. Dear Annie: Seven years ago, my closest cousin died. His wife wanted me to have his wardrobe, which included a tuxedo. This cousin’s daughter is going to be married soon, and the wedding is black tie. Would it be proper to wear that tux? I don’t intend to broadcast the fact that it belonged to her late father, but it seems wearing it would allow a part of him to watch his only child marry. What do you think? — Dressed-Up Cousin Dear Cousin: We think it’s a lovely idea. No one will know that you

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay centered, and know where you are coming from. Avoid testing out ideas on others right now. Tonight: Have an important discussion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You are coming from a good place, but suddenly you might find yourself feeling angry. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite haunt. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of your spending. No matter what you do, you seem to make choices that could cause a problem. Tonight: Pay your bills first. Jacqueline Bigar

are wearing this particular tuxedo, except perhaps your cousin’s widow. If she mentions it, please tell her what you told us — that you thought it would allow a small part of him to be there in spirit. We hope she will find it as touching as we do. Dear Annie: I hope it’s not too late to comment on the letter from “Can’t Believe Adults Act This Way,” whose daughter, a teacher, was being bullied by her co-workers. This happened to me when I was younger. One day, one member of that group gave me some advice. She said, “Play dumb and pretend you don’t know they are talking about you. Always be pleasant, say ‘hello’ and ‘good morning’ to everyone, even when they do not respond. Join them in the lounge. Make a pleasant general comment, and then turn to your magazine or whatever you have to do. Always have something to occupy your time. If you have to ask anyone a question about work, ask it in the lounge in the presence of everyone. If they make a nasty comment, just brush it off and pretend that you didn’t realize it was nasty. When you really need a breather, occasionally go off on your own, but don’t make it obvious.” And I also made it a point to look fabulous every day. This may not appeal to everyone in such a position, but it worked for me. It was terribly hard for the first few months, and then it became a routine. Eventually, the ringleader asked me where I was when I didn’t come into the lounge the day before. After that, I was completely accepted by the group. I have lived by that rule ever since and have passed it on to my children. One cannot fight with someone who will not fight. You keep your dignity and, above all, gain their respect. It works in school, at the workplace and even with your own family. — Yvonne from Montreal
