Talk on shelter lease may violate state law Council’s closed-door discussion draws heat By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

After a lease-extension request for a Cerrillos Road homeless shelter brought a wave of public pressure on the Santa Fe City Council last month, councilors went behind closed doors Wednesday to discuss the deal in a move that some people are calling a violation of the state Open Meetings Act. The agenda for the closed session stated that councilors would discuss “the purchase, acquisition or disposal of real property.” But at least two city councilors said Thursday that there were discussions about the lease with the Interfaith Community Shelter at 2801 Cerrillos Road, a city-owned building. The issue generated criti-

cism from the chairman of the shelter’s board of directors. “We need transparency in this,” Guy Gronquist said Thursday. “Certainly, the volunteers, our donors and our supporters need the city to be fully transparent in approaching this, and the executive session last night failed that standard. We believe that it is a violation of the Open Meetings Act.” Susan Boe, executive director of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, agreed. She said the agenda notice of the executive session was insufficient and that discussions about policy matters need to be held in public. “I’m troubled by it,” she said. “The Open Meetings Act requires that there is some reasonable specificity in the agenda, and I think that it failed that test. As for what went on in the meetings, I don’t know the

Pojoaque Pueblo, lenders reach casino agreement Restructuring strikes over $80M in debt By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

The Pueblo of Pojoaque has completed a massive debt restructuring that wipes away more than one-third of the $240 million originally borrowed to build the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino north of Santa Fe. “The restructuring took almost five years to negotiate and is the first agreement of its kind in the nation and Indian gaming industry,” Pojoaque Pueblo Gov. George Rivera said in a statement.

The agreement is an official acknowledgement that the pueblo defaulted on its initial borrowing obligation. The $240 million in bonds were issued in 2006 at an interest rate of more than 9 percent and due in 2014. Pojoaque Pueblo failed to make interest payments of $11.2 million starting in June 2009 and has missed 10 subsequent payments. “The original financing for construction of the Resort was negotiated in 2006 when interest rates were at their peak,” Rivera said in a statement released Thursday. “By the time the Resort opened on August 8, 2008, the recession had

Medical debt is ruining credit scores Some 43 million Americans have delinquent medical debt on their credit reports, amounting to about 1 in 5 credit reports, according to a report released Thursday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The bureau is calling attention to the burden that medical debt can create for consumers and the negative effect that it can have on their credit reports. Medical bills account for about half, or 52 percent, of all overdue debt that shows up on credit reports, the study showed. Many of these consumers would otherwise be deemed credit worthy: For 15 million people, medical debt is the only debt they have in collections in their credit report.

Joint autopsy brings conflicting reports RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian government blamed Israel on Thursday for the sudden death of a Cabinet minister, citing preliminary autopsy results — disputed by Israeli pathologists — that he died from a blow during a confrontation with Israeli troops. The contradictory interpretations of a joint autopsy on the minister, Ziad Abu Ain, threatened to further inflame tensions between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Pathologists disagreed on the main cause of death, with Palestinian doctors saying the 55-year-old Cabinet minister died from a blow to the body and Israeli doctors saying he had a heart attack. “The results of the autopsy show that the ones who killed the martyr Ziad Abu Ain are the Israeli occupying forces,” Palestinian Health Minister Jawad Awad said.

Cuba’s hip-hop scene becomes U.S. covert target Senator calls USAID’s project to spark change ‘reckless’ By Desmond Butler, Michael Weissenstein, Laura Wides-Munoz and Andrea Rodriguez The Associated Press

HAVANA or more than two years, a U.S. agency secretly infiltrated Cuba’s underground hip-hop movement, recruiting unwitting rappers to spark a youth movement against the government, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. “The conduct described suggests an alarming lack of concern for the safety of the Cubans involved, and anyone who knows Cuba could predict it would fail,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the State Department and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee. “USAID never informed Congress about this and should never have been associated with anything so incompetent and reckless. It’s just plain stupid.” The idea was to use Cuban musicians “to break the information blockade” and build a network of young people seeking “social change,” documents show. But the operation was amateurish and profoundly unsuccessful. On at least six occasions, Cuban authorities detained or interrogated people involved in the program; they also confiscated computer hardware, and in some cases it contained information that jeopardized Cubans who likely had no idea they were caught up in a clandestine U.S. operation. Still, contractors working for the U.S. Agency for International Development kept putting themselves and their targets at risk, the AP investigation found. They also ended up compromising Cuba’s vibrant hip-hop culture — which has produced some of the hardest-hitting grass-roots criticism since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. Artists that USAID contractors tried to promote left the country or stopped performing after pressure from the Cuban government, and one of the island’s most popular independent music festivals was taken over after officials linked it to USAID. The program is laid out in documents involving Creative Associates International, a Washington, D.C., contractor paid millions of dollars to undermine Cuba’s communist government. The thousands of

At a briefing Thursday, , U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that Creative “provided USAID assurances that it had security protocols in place” for “operating in a closed society and would strictly employ those protocols for all professionals traveling to Cuba.” At first, the hip-hop operation was run in Cuba by Serbian contractor Rajko Bozic. Contractors would recruit scores of Cuban musicians for projects disguised as cultural initiatives. The slender Serb homed in swiftly on Los Aldeanos, a hip-hop group frustrated by official pressure and widely respected by Cuban youth for its hard-hitting lyrics. Creative used a Panama front company and a bank in Lichtenstein to hide the money trail from Cuba, where thousands of dollars went to fund a TV program starring Los Aldeanos. It would be distributed on DVDs to circumvent Cuba’s censors. Contractors paid $15,000 to underwrite an arts and music festival put on by the family of Pablo Milanes, the famed singer of “nueva trova” music and a man with close government ties. Their secret aim was to seed “the minds of festival organizers with new ideas” and persuade them to send “high-impact messages” to the audience, read one report. Milanes’ daughter, Suylen Milanes, said government officials showed up the day before the festival and warned her that she was associating with unsavory characters. In August 2010, Los Aldeanos took the stage at Rotilla, one of Cuba’s largest independent music festivals. Before a crowd of about 15,000 people, they lacerated government officials by name and taunted the police. Within months, a USAID contractor told his handlers that the Cubans said USAID had infiltrated the festival, and soon enough, the Cubans took it over. In the end, Los Aldeanos moved to South Florida after complaining that the Cuban government made it impossible for them to work in their own country. Their most recently published lyrics are softer-edged. In a written statement Thursday, the organizers of the Rotilla festival said they expected a “storm” in reaction to the revelations, one that could severely damage Cuban artists unknowingly targeted by the USAID program.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Anxiety, depression, guilt, sleeplessness, marital strife, drug and alcohol abuse — two years after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the scope of the psychological damage to children, parents and others is becoming clear, and the need for treatment is likely to persist a long time. “Here it is two years later, and it’s still hard to deal with. But, God, you didn’t want to know me two years ago,” said Beth Hegarty, a Sandy Hook mother who happened to be inside the school that day with her three daughters, all of whom survived. Hegarty and her girls are among the thousands of people in this closeknit town of 27,000 who have taken advantage of counseling and other programs made available through millions in grants and donations. With the second anniversary of the shooting rampage approaching Sunday, agencies have been working to set up a support system for the next 12 to 15 years, as the youngest survivors approach adulthood. Mental health officials say the demand for treatment is high, with many people reporting substance abuse, relationship troubles, disorganization, depression, overthinking or inability to sleep, all related to the Dec. 14, 2012, attack in which a young man killed 20 children and six educators before committing suicide. And some of the problems are just now coming to the surface. “We’ve found the issues are more complex in the second year,” said Joseph Erardi, Newtown’s school superintendent. “A lot of people were running on adrenaline the first year.” Newtown has received about $15 million in grants from the U.S. Education Department and the U.S. Justice Department to support its recovery. The Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation, which oversees the biggest pot of private donations made to Newtown, has about $4 million left after paying out more than $7 million to the families of the 26 victims and other children who were in the same classrooms but survived. The Newtown school system is starting a long-term program to teach young people from kindergarten through high school how to handle their feelings. Teachers have been trained to identify students who might have mental health problems. “Are we 100 percent? No,” Hegarty said. “But will we ever be 100 percent? We might not be.”

Trauma lingers two years after shooting

Sex-abuse victims told not to report it For decades, officials at Bob Jones University told sexual assault victims that they were to blame for their abuse, and to not report it to the police because doing so would damage their families, churches and the university, according to a report released Thursday. Bob Jones, an evangelical Christian institution in Greenville, S.C., displayed a “blaming and disparaging” attitude toward abuse victims, according to 56 percent of the 381 current and former students and employees who replied to a confidential survey. “I was abused from the ages of 6 to 14 by my grandfather,” one respondent said. “When I went for counseling I was told: ‘Did you repent for your part of the abuse?’ ” Another person said that “abuse victims are considered ‘second-rate Christians.’ ” Another said that university staff consistently told victims “that they should not report abusers.”

Democrats, Obama part on $1.1T spending bill House passes funding measure 219-206 By David Espo and Andrew Taylor The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Swapping crisis for compromise, the House narrowly approved $1.1 trillion in governmentwide spending Thursday night after President Barack Obama and Republicans joined forces to override Democratic complaints that the bill would also ease bank regulations imposed after the economy’s near-collapse in 2008. The 219-206 vote cleared the way for a final showdown in the Senate on the bill — the last major measure of a twoyear Congress far better known for gridlock than for bipartisan achievement. Hours before the vote, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi delivered a rare public rebuke to Obama, saying

she was “enormously disappointed” he had decided to embrace legislation that she described as an attempt at blackmail by Republicans. The White House stated its own objections to the bank-related proposal and other portions of the bill in a written statement. Even so, officials said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden both telephoned Democrats to secure the votes needed for passage, and the president stepped away from a White House Christmas party reception line to make last-minute calls. In addition to the government funding, the bill sets a new course for selected, highly shaky pension plans. It also sets up a clash for February between Republicans and Obama over his decision to remove the threat of deportation from about 4 million immigrants living in the country illegally. Despite the day’s drama, 57 Democrats supported the bill, including the

party’s second-ranking leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who doubles as the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. The outbreak of Democratic bickering left Republicans in the unusual position of bystanders rather than participants with the federal government due to run out of funds at midnight. Even so, there was no threat of a shutdown in federal services — and no sign of the brinkmanship that marked other, similar episodes. Instead, both houses passed a measure providing a 48-hour extension in existing funding to give the Senate time to act on the larger bill. Said a relieved Speaker John Boehner, “thank you and Merry Christmas.” Hours before the mid-evening final vote, conservatives had sought to torpedo the measure because it would leave Obama’s immigration policy unchallenged. Boehner patrolled the

noisy, crowded House floor looking for enough GOP converts to keep it afloat. He found them — after the vote to move ahead on the bill went into overtime — in retiring Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Michigan as well as Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana. Even so, Republican defections required Boehner and supporters of the measure to seek Democratic votes for passage. “Remember this bill was put together in a bicameral, bipartisan way,” he said. Officials in both parties said Pelosi was fully informed of the bill’s contents before it was released to the public, and did not signal her opposition. If there was political drama in the House, there was something approaching tenderness in the Senate, where several lawmakers are ending their careers. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., choked up as he delivered a farewell speech from his desk, and Republicans and

Democrats alike rose to applaud him. There was little if any controversy over the spending levels in the $1.1 trillion measure, which provided funding for nearly the entire government through the end of the budget year next Sept. 30. It locked in cuts negotiated in recent years between the White House and a tea party-heavy Republican rank and file. The only exception is the Department of Homeland Security. It is funded only through Feb. 27, when the specter of a shutdown will be absent and Republicans hope to force the president to roll back an immigration policy that promises work visas to an estimated 5 million immigrants living in the country illegally. When Congress convenes in January, Republicans will have control of the Senate for the first time in eight years and will hold their strongest majority in the House in more than eight decades.

Google News to block Spanish publications By Alan Clendenning and Michael Liedtke The Associated Press

MADRID — Google is locking Spanish publishers out of its popular Google News service in response to a new Spanish law that imposes fees for linking to the headlines and news stories on other websites. The move announced Thursday will reverberate around the globe. Besides closing Google News in Spain, Google Inc. also is blocking reports from Spanish publishers in the more than other 70 other international editions packaged by Google News. Google News’ exile of Span-

ish publishers begins Dec. 16, a couple weeks before the start of a Spanish intellectual-property law requiring news publishers to be paid for their content, even if they are willing to give it away. That means people in Latin America, where Spanish news organizations have sought to boost their digital audiences, won’t see news from Spain via Google News. Also set to disappear are reports in English from Spanish publishers like Madrid’s leading El País newspaper. People who use Google’s standard search in Spain and anywhere else around the world will still be able to find articles on their own from Spanish

Suicide bombers rock Kabul; at least 6 people are dead The New York Times

KABUL, Afghanistan — A teenager evaded tight security and blew himself up in the auditorium of an elite French high school in Kabul on Thursday evening, killing at least one other person and wounding more than a dozen people. It was the second suicide bombing of the day in the capital. Earlier, a young man standing at the edge of a road on the outskirts of the city detonated his explosives as a bus carrying Afghan troops passed by, killing five soldiers. The attacks shattered a relative calm in Kabul that had lasted more than a week. Before that, suicide bombers were striking frequently in the city, targeting a British Embassy vehicle, the headquarters of a small aid organization and a prominent women’s rights leader and member of parliament, Shukria Barakzai, among other targets. One bomber managed to infiltrate Kabul Police Headquarters last month. Female students and girls’

schools have been targets of bomb attacks in the provinces, but before Thursday there had not been an attack against a school in Kabul in a long time. Gen. Mohammad Farid Afzali, the head of the investigative division of the Kabul Police, said that a suicide bomber who was 16 or 17 years old detonated explosives in the auditorium of the school, near the presidential palace. The police said one person, a German national, was killed; police estimate as many as 20 people were wounded. In Herat province, dozens of Taliban fighters attacked a government compound Thursday, making a striking show of force in a region where the Taliban has generally been weak. An airstrike Wednesday afternoon killed five people in Parwan province. The U.S.led military coalition said the dead were enemy combatants, but the local district governor, Mohammad Sayed Sadiqi, said they were teenagers and young men who “were waiting to attend evening prayers.”

publications, because the law applies only to aggregators and not to individuals who do their own searches outside of Google News. This marks the first shutdown of Google News since the service debuted as an experimental project in 2002. Richard Gingras, head of Google News, said the decision was made “with real sadness” because Google News is “a service that hundreds of millions of users love and trust, including many here in Spain.” Spain’s AEDE association, which represents large news publishers, had lobbied for the law nicknamed the “Google Tax” to “effectively protect

the rights of citizens and businesses.” Spain’s new law is designed to create a new source of revenue for the country’s publishers. The law doesn’t specify how much publishers will have to be paid by Google or other aggregators. But it mandates the payments even if publishers are willing to waive them in return for the traffic they get from Google News. Google News has long irked newspaper publishers and other content providers, who contend the service tramples on copyrights by creating a digital kiosk of headlines and story snippets gathered from other websites.

Pueblo: Bonds secured by operating surplus of resort and casino Thunder — so the exchange of debt was not finalized until October 2014, with the closing completed this week. “The current arrangement is something that the investors and the Pueblo were all able to agree to as beneficial for all parties involved,” Rivera said in the statement. “The exchange is based upon the actual earnings the Authority made during a three year period. To ensure the investors’ confidence, a neutral private management company was brought in to run the facility for a three year period. Thus, the final arrangement is based upon what the Authority is actually capable of paying to service its debt.” Under the new agreement, no money changed hands, but the original bondholders received debt obligations valued at $112 million with an interest rate of 11 percent and a maturity in 2022. They also received an unsecured secondary debt of $48.9 million that would be paid depending on economic conditions and cash flow. The bonds are not rated and not

Continued from Page A-1 already begun and the Resort did not perform as strongly as predicted.” Since the pueblo is a sovereign entity, holders of the debt were not able to place liens on tribal land or casino operations — but had to rely on revenue from the resort and casino businesses and their relationships with the tribal leadership for payment. Bondholders first met at the 395-room resort in 2009 to try to iron out a repayment deal — and looked at bringing in stronger management as one option. An attorney representing the group told The New Mexican in June 2009 that bondholders were engaged in constructive dialogue with the pueblo and the Buffalo Thunder Development Authority, the business entity that manages the resort and issued the debt. The initial agreement to restructure the debt was made in November 2010, but it was based on a three-year analysis of cash flow and revenue at Buffalo

insured, but they are taxable, so any loss from the original investment can be deducted, according to IRS regulations and tax law. “Casinos across the country have felt the impact as consumers spent less on gambling and entertainment. In fact casinos in both Las Vegas and Atlantic City have been impacted with many undergoing changes in ownership. Nationwide revenues from Indian gaming have largely plateaued since the start of the recession and in some areas such as New Mexico, gross revenues dropped during 2013 and again in 2014 for many tribal facilities,” Rivera said in his statement. The new notes are secured by the operating surplus of the resort and casino businesses, not by pueblo land or property. “The new notes will not be secured by any personal or real property of the Authority, the Pueblo or the Pueblo of Pojoaque Development Authority,” according to an offering document on the new bonds. There also will be no

payment of back interest under the agreement. New Mexico legalized tribal gambling in 1987 through compact agreements where the state shares a portion of revenue, and that money goes to inspect and regulate the games, as well as for gambling addiction treatment. The state general fund receives an estimated $20 million from the compacts, which goes to pay for state services such as public education and law enforcement. Pojoaque joined the compacts in 2005 after settling funding disputes with the administration of Gov. Bill Richardson. But gambling revenue flattened during the recession and only recently started to increase. According to Casino City North American Gaming Almanac, Buffalo Thunder has 1,100 slot machines and 61,000 square feet of casino space, as well as 10 restaurants, eight poker tables and 10 table games. The resort also has a golf course and 66,000 square feet of convention space.

The pueblo also operates the Cities of Gold Casino, which has 550 slots. For the second quarter of 2014, the tribe reported $15.8 million in “net win” from its slot machines, which is the amount wagered minus the amount paid out in prizes and regulatory fees. That amount was unchanged from 2013. The debt agreement comes at a time when all the pueblos in New Mexico are negotiating new compacts with Gov. Susana Martinez and the Legislature that would extend tribal gambling into the next decade. “The closing of the deal removes a cloud that had hovered over the Pueblo and all of its enterprises for over five years,” Rivera said. “This new financial arrangement ensures the Authority will continue to provide jobs and other economic benefits for New Mexico as well as supporting important governmental programs through the Pueblo.” Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@sfnewmexican.com.

Shelter: Council was in ‘full compliance,’ city says Continued from Page A-1

Construction crews work at the site of the Violet Crown Cinema in the Railyard. The project is expected to be complete in the first half of 2015. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Railyard: Proposed bowling alley, lounge, restaurant have yet to open Continued from Page A-1 shortly after, Czoski said. The cinema plans to serve both alcohol and food. Bill Banowsky, an owner of the project, has experienced success with a similar venture in Austin, Texas. Banowsky has said the Santa Fe Violet Crown will screen a mixture of independent films and larger productions in 11 theaters, with a total seating capacity of 600. But news for the Railyard is not all good. A bowling alley, entertainment lounge and restaurant that the local developer Railyard Co. had pitched to the public in late 2012 has yet to open. Czoski said he’s been inside the bowling alley space, and it appears complete, but he couldn’t offer any reason why the business hasn’t opened. “I just don’t know the schedule or why it’s not done,” he said. “We wish it was already open. Everyone would like to see those storefronts occupied.” Rick Jaramillo, a partner in the bowling alley, declined to answer

The New Mexican’s questions about the project, saying the group prefers to answer questions in a “uniform” voice, and that some members were out of town and unable to provide comment. He did say the group is “super excited” about the theater’s opening. Bars, stores and performing spaces fill about 80 percent of the Railyard, drawing patrons to the district. And if development continues as planned, almost every plot on the 50-acre land swath owned by the city will be generating some revenue, Czoski said. That’s welcome news for a property that generated ire when the city of Santa Fe first purchased it in the ’90s. Czoski said the nonprofit organization that oversees the district has leased 82 percent of the available properties, and it’s working to lease the remaining spaces. He also said the number of people visiting the area has increased 30 percent to 40 percent annually in the past few years. “We have made great progress given the realities we have had to

deal with,” he said. The Railyard Community Corp. leases the Railyard from the city and is charged with filling the district’s business spaces. The national outdoor apparel chain REI is its largest tenant. Several smaller ventures rent space in the area, such as the Second Street Brewing Co. and the linen store Bon Marché. And in fall 2013, the city of Santa Fe relocated about 70 of its workers to offices it owns in the Railyard. The Railyard also plays host to crowd-generating events throughout the year, such as this year’s ZozoFest, a pre-Zozobra art celebration, and the Indigenous Fine Art Market. Sandra Brice, the Railyard Community Corp.’s marketing director, said many organizations, including the art market, already have indicated that they would like to return in 2015.

facts of that. But if, in fact, they were discussing the lease in that closed session, then I think that would be a violation.” City spokesman Matt Ross said the city was in “full compliance” of the law. “Without commenting on anything that was or wasn’t discussed in the actual executive session last night, we feel comfortable and confident that we are in compliance with the Open Meetings Act. It’s something we’re always careful about, always conscious of,” Ross said. “If the Foundation for Open Government disagrees, the city attorney would welcome a dialogue about that, and they are more than welcome to reach out and initiate that dialogue.” Last month, during a packed meeting, the council agreed to renew Interfaith’s lease of the city building for “not less than two years.” That decision came after Councilor Chris Rivera had introduced a resolution that called for seeking an alternative site for the shelter, which had been operating on a month-to-month lease while the city considered whether the needs of the homeless, as well as neighboring businesses and residents, were being met at the current location. Rivera later filed a substitute measure that asked city staff to convene meetings with service providers and report back in three months “on the overall operation of the one-stop shop for homeless services and winter shelter.” Since the council’s decision last month to allow the shelter to stay at its existing site, Interfaith and the city have been negotiating on the terms of the lease, and the two sides have now agreed to a threeyear lease, though it hasn’t been signed. “We had that discussion last night,” City Councilor Ron Trujillo said of the lease. Daniel Yohalem, a longtime civil rights attorney who serves on the boards of both the Interfaith Community Shelter and the Foundation for Open Government, said the conversation in executive session went even further than the lease. He said councilors discussed the most appropriate place to provide services to the homeless. Yohalem declined to disclose his source. “I was told that this is what happened,” he said. Yohalem said he spoke about the lease renewal Wednesday afternoon with City Attorney Kelley Brennan, who told him it would be taken up during the council meeting. “She mentioned the fact that it might be heard during an executive session pertaining to the disposition of land,” he said,

adding that he told Brennan he didn’t think the lease renewal belonged in an executive session. “But more importantly, she never said what the executive session would be about. She just claimed it would be about the disposition of land, and she claimed that there was an exception under the Open Meetings Act that allowed that,” he said. “I subsequently determined today that the discussion was not about the disposition of any land. It was about where services should be provided for homeless people in Santa Fe, and that’s not something that’s properly done in an executive session.” Brennan did not return a message seeking comment Thursday. Based on Brennan’s conversation with Yohalem, Gronquist said, he figured the city wanted to sell the homeless shelter. “With all of these rumors and counter rumors swirling and the city being seemingly reluctant to honor the original lease, the only thing that we could imagine was that they were going to discuss the sale of the building,” he said, “because if they were going to discuss the lease, that had already taken place at an open council meeting. “We kind of go back to where we started from,” he added. “We don’t understand why there would be this kind of misguided attempt to damage what has been a very successful program that provides this service for the city of Santa Fe to homeless people in Santa Fe at a very modest cost to the city.” City Councilor Patti Bushee declined to disclose specific items discussed in executive session but said she walked out at a certain point. She said she felt uncomfortable with items the council was discussing “without any legal rationale” for discussing them behind closed doors. “When I left last night at 11:30, we had gotten down to some agenda items that I didn’t feel were adequately published with an adequate legal reason to be behind closed doors to hear those items,” she said. After the council emerged from the executive session, which lasted about an hour and 20 minutes, Councilor Rivera made a motion “to instruct the city attorney to take final action consistent with the discussion held during the executive session.” After the motion passed 7-0, with Bushee and Councilor Peter Ives absent, councilors quickly gathered their belongings and left the council chambers.

Guadalupe: Artist says his painting illustrates the ‘divine feminine’ Continued from Page A-1 In 2001, a museum’s display of Alma Lopez’s digital print of the Virgin of Guadalupe led to protests by those who felt the picture was “an abomination” and “a sacrilege.” The work, part of an exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art, shows Mary, hands on hips, strategically draped in roses and held aloft by a bare-breasted angel wearing butterfly wings. Some Catholics, led by Jose Villegas, a parishioner at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a community activist, called for the work to be removed from the exhibit. Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan joined them. The Hispana museum curator who selected the work for the show was accused of trafficking in cyberporn and of Catholic bashing. A community forum on the topic attracted 500 people, many of whom urged the museum to take the

print down. The museum refused. Villegas said Thursday that “people are still hurting, the people of faith. That was a painful event that occurred in our city.” Many devout Catholics were again offended when the Santa Fe Reporter published a cartoon version of Our Lady on the cover of its 2013 Summer Guide. She’s shown wearing a cape, bikini and sunglasses and sipping a margarita. There’s a bare-chested cowboy in the background. The paper’s publisher at the time, Andy Dudzik, defended the image. “She is a cultural icon in this town, not just a religious one, which means she belongs to the whole community not just to the church,” he told KOAT-TV in June 2013. “I don’t think we did anything wrong.” Paz’s painting is “no different,” Villegas said, vowing, “I’m going to start something. I’m going to activate the

community. I haven’t changed my position from 2001.” The Virgin of Guadalupe, who appeared to a poor Indian on a hill outside Mexico City in 1531, has a special place in the hearts of Hispanic Catholics in New Mexico. While her image shows up on mouse pads, switch plates, T-shirts, the hoods of lowriders, the backs of prison inmates and other locations that would never be considered sacred or necessarily respectful, she is usually depicted as a demure young woman, not the bold, modern Chicana woman Lopez portrayed, the cartoon version — or the naked figure Paz painted. “She’s our mother. The mother of the unborn, the defender of children. She’s very sacred,” Villegas said. “She’s the symbol of pure chastity, virginity. She’s loved throughout the world.” Paz denied Thursday that he was seeking to offend people by his “pretty

unique” representation of the Virgin of Guadalupe. His idea, he said, was to show her surrounded by symbols of other goddesses. The skull necklace, for example, refers to the Hindu goddess Kali, who is associated with empowerment. The black half-moon with a red circle above the head of the virgin represents Isis, the Egyptian goddess of fertility. His piece illustrates the “divine feminine in every religion,” Paz said. Paz’s work includes a lot of religious iconography, but this is the first time he has focused on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Last month, he had a show at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles of altar pieces that have some futuristic subjects. Other examples of his work are at his website, paz-art.com. “I’ve always been interested in all kinds of religions, not from a believing [standpoint] but understanding and learning the mythology,” he explained.

Paz and other artists will be at the gallery, 614 Agua Fría St., for the opening from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will be up through February. Eye of the Mountain, which describes itself as “Santa Fe’s premier sacred and visionary art gallery,” opened at its current location earlier this year. Its hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. This show includes some depictions of the Virgin Mary that are quite traditional as well as some that are more surreal or abstract. Another artist, Aaron Jones, who was putting the finishing touches on his sculpture for the show Tuesday, said the gallery owner is inspired by the divine feminine, and “it is important to have a dialogue on the sacred.” Contact Anne Constable at 986-3022 or aconstable@sfnewmexican.com.

U.N. official: U.S. has hindered global torture fight By Nick Cumming-Bruce The New York Times

GENEVA — The CIA’s use of torture and the United States’ reluctance to punish those responsible have set back efforts to fight torture worldwide, the U.N. expert investigating such abuses said Thursday, reinforcing a U.N. human rights official’s call for those involved to be prosecuted. “The example set by the United States on the use of torture has been a big drawback in the fight against such practice in many other countries throughout the world,” Juan E. Méndez, the U.N. special rapporteur on torture, said in a statement. Méndez said that during his trav-

els, many governments had cited the U.S. use of torture as justification for their own abuses. “Many states either implicitly or explicitly tell you: ‘Why look at us? If the U.S. tortures, why can’t we do it?’ ” he said. Méndez, who has been reporting on torture for the United Nations since 2010, commended the United States for publishing the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture and “fulfilling the obligations of the United States with respect to the truth.” The Bush administration, he said, “aggressively and repeatedly rejected the principles of transparency and accountability and maintains the pattern of denial and defense.”

But Méndez stressed that releasing the report was only the first step in fulfilling the United States’ obligations under the U.N. Convention Against Torture, which requires the investigation and prosecution of those who were responsible for ordering, planning or implementing the CIA torture program. “As a nation that has publicly affirmed its belief that respect for truth advances respect for the rule of law, and as a nation that frequently calls for transparency and accountability in other countries, the United States must rise to meet the standards it has set both for itself and for others,” he said. President Barack Obama, while

acknowledging that the CIA’s interrogation techniques were “wrong,” has steered clear of committing the administration to prosecuting those involved. Méndez’s statement followed a call this week by the U.N. human rights chief, Prince Zeid Ra’ad Zeid al Hussein, urging full accountability for those involved in the CIA torture. “In all countries,” Zeid said, “if someone commits murder, they are prosecuted and jailed. If they commit rape or armed robbery, they are prosecuted and jailed. If they order, enable or commit torture — recognized as a serious international crime — they cannot simply be granted impunity because of

political expediency.” The convention is “crystal clear,” he said, and “lets no one off the hook — neither the torturers themselves, nor the policymakers, nor the public officials who define the policy or give the orders.” Both statements come less than a month after senior U.S. officials faced criticism from a U.N. panel monitoring compliance with the anti-torture treaty. It said the Obama administration had failed to properly investigate torture in the CIA’s secret detention facilities or to punish those responsible, including “persons in positions of command and those who provided legal cover to torture.”

CIA chief defends interrogation tactics, avoids issue of torture By Mark Mazzetti and Matt Apuzzo The New York Times

WASHINGTON — John O. Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, on Thursday defended the agency’s use of waterboarding and other brutal interrogation tactics, sidestepping questions about whether agency operatives tortured anyone. Brennan, responding to a Senate committee’s report detailing years of brutal interrogation tactics in secret CIA prisons, criticized only those officers who he said went “outside the bounds” of the guidelines established by the Justice Department. Those guidelines allowed for waterboarding, a week of sleep deprivation, shackling prisoners in painful positions, dousing them with water and locking them in coffin-like boxes. “I will leave to others how they might want to label those activities,” Brennan said. President Barack Obama has called some of the CIA’s techniques torture, and Brennan’s comments Thursday stood in contrast to those he made years earlier as the president’s counterterrorism adviser. In 2009, Brennan criticized the agency’s techniques for having “led us to stray from our ideals as a nation.” He added, “Tactics such as waterboarding were not in keeping with our values as Americans.” Brennan, a career CIA analyst who served as a high-ranking agency official under President George W. Bush, said that after the Sept. 11 attacks,

architects of the program have since retired, the agency’s counterterrorism unit is still filled with many officers who took part in it. The debate also renewed questions about whether Brennan objected to the techniques used in the program. Brennan would not address that Thursday. “I was not in the chain of command,” he said. The Senate Intelligence Committee report concluded that so-called enhanced interrogation techniques produced no vital information that thwarted terrorist plots. Brennan said that prisoners did produce useful information after being subjected to those methods. While Brennan was speaking, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the committee’s chairwoman, offered a running commentary on Twitter. “ ‘Useful information’ was not the legal policy standard for EITs,’ ” Feinstein wrote, referring to enhanced interrogation techniques. Brennan strongly disagreed with the Senate report’s conclusion that the CIA Director John Brennan speaks Thursday during a news conference at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. Brentechniques were not valuable in the nan defended his agency against accusations in a Senate report that it used inhumane interrogation techniques hunt for Osama bin Laden. against terrorist suspects with no security benefits to the nation.

OUR VIEW

Report reveals the evil we did

Nicholas Kristof The New York Times

n the responses to my “When Whites Just Don’t Get It” series, I’ve been struck by the lack of empathy some whites show for members of minority groups. So imagine if the world were reversed. Then “the talk” might go like this: “Son, sit down. You’re 13, old enough to have a conversation that I’ve been dreading.” “Oh, come on, Dad. I hope this isn’t about the birds and the bees.” “Nope. That’d be easy. Have you seen the video of the white horticulturist being choked to death by police?” “All the kids have seen it. He says he can’t breathe, and black cops still kill him. [Expletive!]” “Don’t curse. It is wrong, but it’s the way the world works. And that’s why Mom and I are scared for you. With us whites in the minority, some cops are just going to see you as a threat no matter what. You’re going to get stopped by black cops, and I want you to promise you’ll never run or mouth off. Mom and I can’t protect you out there, and white kids are 21 times as likely as black kids to be shot dead by police. So even when a cop curses you, I want you to call him Sir.” “Anybody curses me, he won’t get away with it.” “Yes, he will. And if he shoots you, he might get away with it, too. Especially when you keep wearing clothes all the other white boys wear, like those polo shirts. Black cops see you in them and suspect trouble. Black folks make the rules, and we have to live by

U them. Like it or not.” “[Expletive] Racists!” “Hey! I told you not to curse. And don’t hold it against all blacks. Lots have joined with whites in protesting these killings. And even for those who are unsympathetic, most aren’t evil, just clueless.” “C’mon, Dad. When a 12-year-old white kid is shot dead because he’s holding a toy gun, when a white woman professor is thrown to the ground for jaywalking, when cops smash a car window to Taser a white guy in front of kids, that’s not cluelessness. That’s evil. White lives matter.” “It’s complicated. Remember when you were suspended in the fourth grade for being disruptive?” “That was ridiculous.” “Yup. White kids get suspended when black kids don’t. That’s just the way it is. But the black vice principal who suspended you — he’s the same guy who enthusiastically organizes White History Month each year. Intellectually, he believes in civil rights. But he kicks out white kids for the same reason doctors give less pain medication to white

patients. Same reason that in experiments a résumé that is identifiably white gets fewer callbacks than the exact same résumé from a black person. It’s not on purpose, but people ‘otherize’ us. That’s why you’ll have to work harder to succeed in life — and even then you’ll be followed around department stores by security guys.” “OK, Dad. Anyway, I got to go.” “Society cares about inequality. But the big inequality debate is about rich and poor, and some folks don’t seem to notice all the inequality that comes with race. White Americans have a per capita income that’s lower than in Equatorial Guinea, and life expectancy is roughly the same as in Sri Lanka. The system here is sometimes rigged. Cops stop and frisk whites four times as often they do blacks. And that criminal record hurts your chance to get a good job, to marry, to vote. Everybody makes mistakes, but black kids get the benefit of the doubt. You don’t, simply because you’re white.” “Dad, I got it. Can I go now?” “I guess 13-year-olds aren’t

made for listening. Look, this thing we call ‘race’ is such a petty thing in biological terms. A minor adaptation in the last 100,000 years. Race is a social construct. It shouldn’t be what defines us.” “Hmm. Feels pretty important to me.” “Well, it kills, and that’s why we’re having this talk. But there is also great progress. It’s incredible that we finally have our very first white president.” “Who lots of blacks say was born in Europe! And whose sons get dissed for embarrassing the White House for dressing like the rest of us.” “I’m glad the news reports jumped all over those comments. But I wish everyone were as outraged by destructive policies. When our education policy is to send so many white kids to third-rate schools, that’s worse than any racial epithet.” “OK. Later, Dad!” “Just remember: Some blacks just don’t get it, but black privilege isn’t their fault. If things were reversed and we whites were in the majority, we might be just as oblivious.” “Dad, we whites would never be like that!”

Save millions of dollars and Gila River

or those who missed Norm Gaume at Collected Works on Sunday on the Kafkaesque maneuvers of our supposed representatives deciding the Gila River project: He is the former director of the Interstate Stream Commission.

Try to enforce the five feet to pass. And discourage motorists from parking in the trail crossings (particularly Siringo Road and St. Francis Drive).

The result of their parents’ casual treatment of their weapons led to two suicides and the deaths of nine adults and 28 children over the past two years. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Parents must be held responsible for leaving their weapons unlocked or not stored in a safe place. In two of these cases, the offending parents were murdered by their sons, and they have paid the ultimate price for their carelessness. Wake up, people. They are not toys. Marion Jackson

.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., served his country ably in Vietnam, spending more than five years in captivity as a prisoner of war. He has further served as a United States senator and candidate for president. Yet nowhere has McCain’s service to country been more distinguished than in his first-person testimony to the reality of what torture means. His remarks on the Senate floor earlier this week, after the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the Bush administration’s “enhanced interrogation techniques,” are essential reading. Unlike the architects of this policy, McCain went to war. President George W. Bush and his right-hand man, Vice President Dick Cheney, stayed home. They did not face torture at the hands of their captives, which McCain did. They were not left with a broken body, as McCain was. They are not credible sources on what torture is and what it does. McCain is. He stood to say, that unlike many in the Republican Party, he supports the release of the report, detailing activities after 9/11 when the U.S. interrogated alleged terrorists. “It is a thorough and thoughtful study of practices that I believe not only failed their purpose — to secure actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks on the U.S. and our allies — but actually damaged our security interests, as well as our reputation as a force for good in the world.” Better than most, McCain made the case that torture is wrong — both because it is morally repugnant and because it does not make the nation more secure. He was clear that the country must come clean, “The truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. It sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. It is sometimes used by our enemies in attempts to hurt us. But the American people are entitled to it, nonetheless.” Only by knowing the truth — that in our name, the CIA and its hired contractors committed crimes against humanity — will we be able to stop this from ever happening again. McCain again: “I have long believed some of these practices amounted to torture, as a reasonable person would define it, especially, but not only the practice of waterboarding, which is a mock execution and an exquisite form of torture. Its use was shameful and unnecessary; and, contrary to assertions made by some of its defenders and as the committee’s report makes clear, it produced little useful intelligence to help us track down the perpetrators of 9/11 or prevent new attacks and atrocities.” Perhaps his most important point: “Most of all, I know the use of torture compromises that which most distinguishes us from our enemies, our belief that all people, even captured enemies, possess basic human rights, which are protected by international conventions the U.S. not only joined, but for the most part authored.” President Barack Obama, when he took office, rightly stopped torture. Now he must do more as commander in chief. He needs to hold the architects of torture accountable. As is his nature, he continues to walk a fine line — condemning torture, praising the report, while at the same time saying he supports the CIA. So far, he has waffled on the report’s conclusions that torture techniques were not effective. He is standing by the CIA director, John Brennan. Obama must do more. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and others must continue to call for accountability: “I would hope there would be a bit of a housecleaning from the White House given the results of this report,” Heinrich said in speaking to The New York Times. “The fundamental problem here is not just what happened but the continued resistance of the leadership of this agency to the basics of oversight.” The CIA wants to keep Americans safe. However, if in attempting to keep the nation safer, the CIA and its agents compromise our nation’s integrity and values, we are reduced as a country. This report reveals the evil that went on in the name of national security. Our leaders and our citizens, together, must stop this from ever happening again.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Illness interferes with intimacy Dear Annie: I’ve been living with “Marcus” for two years, and we’ve known each other for twice that long. We are both in our late 40s. Soon after we moved in together, Marcus became seriously ill. We’ve been through five invasive surgeries, and there may be more. The most serious illness seems to be under control, but now other debilitating health issues are popping up on the horizon, and I just don’t know what to do. Part of me wants desperately to leave, yet I feel incredibly guilty for even thinking of it. We don’t fight, and we have our good moments. I still am attracted to him, but there is absolutely no sex unless I initiate it — which I’ve stopped doing because he always has discomfort or pain. We sometimes talk about it, and he says, “You didn’t sign up for this. Why are you still here?” Marcus spoke to his doctor about the lack of desire, some of which may be attributed to painkillers, but they have no resolution. I’ve lost weight, take good care of myself and dress nicely — still nothing. He says, “It’s not you, it’s me.” I feel shallow for missing sex so much, but I honestly can’t imagine living the rest of my life without it. I suggested counseling, with or without me, but Marcus refused. When he dismisses suggestions to work on us, I end up feeling more like a nurse than a lover. And the guilt is eating me up. What can I do? — Faith Dear Faith: Marcus has serious health issues, and that, plus medication, is undoubtedly what is causing his lack of desire. It isn’t anything you are doing. And he, too, feels guilt, because his illness prevents you from having the relationship you envisioned. He may have decided against counseling so that you will have a reason to leave him. Please know that your feelings are not unusual. Only you can decide whether or not you love him enough to see him through this, with or without sex. Counseling will help you, even if

Marcus chooses not to go. Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with epilepsy three years ago, but had milder forms of seizures that went undiagnosed for 23 years. I am on medications that interfere with relationships at home and work. Of all the major chronic medical conditions, epilepsy is surely one of the least understood. Seizures are unpredictable electrical disturbances in the brain that affect awareness, movement and sensation. Epilepsy is not contagious, it is not a mental illness, and it is not mental retardation. There are more than 40 types of epilepsy that affect more than three million people in the U.S. and 65 million worldwide. The Epilepsy Foundation has information to help raise awareness. Please get the word out. — Can’t Drive but Can Text Dear Can’t Drive: Thank you for giving us the opportunity. National Epilepsy Awareness Month was in November, but awareness is needed all year round. We hope our readers will check out the Epilepsy Foundation at epilepsy.com and find out how they can help. Dear Annie: I have been following all of the opinions about blowing one’s nose at the dinner table. Those who are offended by the act, please be careful visiting New Mexico. If you want to enjoy your stay, you must, of course, try our well-known and traditional green chili (or at Christmastime, green and red chili). This food is likely to cause anyone’s nose to drip, and you can see an abundance of tissues flying about at any good restaurant, without any complaints. — Tolerant in the Land of Enchantment Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Skandera seeking $68M to invest in education Hanna Skandera

Education chief: Funds are for reading programs, training for teachers

Education secretary-designate seeks funds for reading and teacher improvement initiatives.

By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico needs to continue making targeted investments in reading initiatives and teacher training programs if it wants to see more improvements in student achievement, the head of the New Mexico Public Education Department

told lawmakers Thursday. Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera outlined her agency’s budget request before the Legislative Finance Committee. It includes about $68 million in new spending that focuses on

everything from ensuring students can read by the time they get to the third grade to revamping teacher training, developing an early warning system to reduce the dropout rate and offering more support for teachers and principals. “When we see a student struggling or a school struggling, we need to intervene, provide support for them and give them an opportunity to close the gaps that they have,” Skandera said. “We have seen good results when we do targeted investments.” She pointed to a program started

last year in which successful school leaders are paired with those in struggling schools. About 70 percent of participating principals increased or maintained their school’s letter grade in the first year. The department wants to expand the mentorship program to teachers. The department also is working with colleges and universities around the state to revamp the way teachers are trained, and funding is being sought to help school districts recruit and retain teachers in hard-to-fill positions, including bilingual and special

education spots. Skandera said paying teachers more and offering incentives have become even more important, particularly in southeastern New Mexico, where school districts are competing with the booming oil-and-gas industry as they try to attract workers. Raising the base pay for starting teachers and expanding a pay-forperformance program are among the pushes the department and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez will make

Lawyer: Shooting victim hit in neck Man who fled from police paralyzed; rally set Saturday By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A man who was shot at by a Santa Fe police officer and a probation officer a week ago in a west-side neighborhood was wounded by a bullet that entered the back of his neck and exited through the front of his neck, his attorney said Thursday. After being shot the morning of Dec. 5, Kevin Chavez, 23, led the two officers involved in a three-mile pursuit that began on an unpaved residential road off Kevin Chavez West Alameda Street and ended on West Cordova Road near Cerrillos Road. Santa Fe police Detective Jessica Sanchez and Department of Corrections parole Officer Chris Belkcom had tried to serve an arrest warrant to Chavez for a probation violation at his house on Juan de Dios. Santa Fe police Chief Eric Garcia has said Chavez tried to run over Sanchez with a white Ford E150 van and that the detective responded by firing at Chavez on Juan De Dios.

A van riddled with bullets sits at Cordova and Cerrillos roads Dec. 5 following a police shooting and a chase that left an officer injured and a Santa Fe man with a neck wound his attorney says has caused paralysis. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Authorities initially said Chavez was shot in the shoulder, but his lawyer, David Foster, said the injury was a neck wound that has caused his client to suffer paralysis in some of his limbs. Foster couldn’t provide further details on Chavez’s condition. Foster disputed the police account of events, saying “police exaggerated,” but he didn’t dispute that Chavez, who was unarmed, had fled in the van. He said he would like to

review dashboard camera video from the officer’s patrol car. State police have taken over the investigation and on Wednesday night released the names of the officers. Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez, a spokesman for state police, said in an email Thursday that the officers have been interviewed and had lawyers present when

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico’s largest provider of electricity is asking regulators to approve a 12 percent rate increase to help cover the costs of new solar-power generating stations, federally mandated pollution controls at a coal-fired power plant and other infrastructure. Public Service Company of New Mexico’s residential customers could see their monthly bills jump by $9.75 starting in January 2016 if the state Public Regulation Commission approves the request submitted Thursday. “We take bill increases and the impact they can have on our customers very seriously and have worked hard to mitigate the need for this request,” said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM chairman, president and CEO. The rate increase is expected to draw criticism from environmental and consumer advocacy groups. The proposal is expected to generate more than $107 million, which would help the utility as it works to recover $585 million in investments that have been made since July 2010 or will be made through 2016. Aside from the investments in new solar projects, a new natural gas plant, transmission infrastructure and the planned purchase of assets related to the Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona, the rate increase would help cover declines in demand that have resulted from energy conservation efforts and the sluggish economy. PNM said the way energy is produced and consumed has changed dramatically in recent years, and the way electric rates are calculated needs to be modernized. The utility is proposing to increase the fixed rate that residential and small-business customers pay on their bills to guarantee an adequate revenue flow to cover the utility’s costs as demand declines. For residential customers, PNM says the fixed charge would change from $5 to $12.80 per month. There would also be changes to PNM’s rooftop solar program. The utility wants to charge an interconnection fee to new customers to ensure all residential customers using the electric system are treated equally. Currently, PNM says customers with rooftop solar don’t pay their entire share of the fixed costs of maintaining the power lines and generation they depend on to supplement their solar power.

Judge declines to shut down ride-service Lyft Ortiz rules that PRC’s authority is unclear By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Chief First District Judge Raymond Ortiz of Santa Fe declined Thursday to enforce the state Public Regulation Commission’s cease-and-desist order against upstart transportation company Lyft Inc. Ortiz said the five-member Public Regulation Commis-

sion still had not decided whether it claims jurisdiction over Lyft and a similar company called Uber. The so-called Raymond ride-share Ortiz companies use smartphone technology to line up passengers for their contracted drivers, who use personal vehicles for the service. Unlike the traditional cab

companies they compete with, the ride-share companies are unregulated in most areas where they operate, although many state and local governments are working to change that or to shut down the companies. With the New Mexico Public Relation Commission’s lines of authority over the operations still unresolved, Ortiz said, he had no jurisdiction to shut down Lyft. The Public Regulation Commission’s staff attorney, Michael C. Smith, had encouraged the judge to enforce the 6-month-old

order telling Lyft to cease operations in New Mexico. Smith said this case was similar to a judge issuing a temporary restraining order against a person accused of harassing someone, even as more information is sought about the allegation. Lyft threatens public safety because it has not established that it has proper insurance coverage and thorough background checks of drivers it deploys, Smith said.

A former executive for Rancho Viejo developer SunCorp testified Thursday in the ongoing fraud trial against Advantage Asphalt and Seal Coating and its owner, Joe Anthony Montoya, that he became suspicious when he examined invoices submitted by the company for soil tests. “Some boxes were slightly skewed on the invoices, and that’s not something you would see on a computer-generated or printed invoice,” said Ronald Paul Bohannan, a civil engineer who worked for the developer from 2006 to 2010. “As I looked through them, a lot of them looked odd,” he said. “Some looked strange because of the alignment of the box. On some, the type wasn’t parallel. I suspected they were false invoices and began to sort them out as to why I thought they were fake.” Bohannan said as part of his investigation into the invoices — which Advantage had submitted to

In brief ‘Tapia’ to air on HBO on Dec. 16 ALBUQUERQUE — A documentary on the rise and fall of Albuquerque-born, multiple-time world champion boxer Johnny Tapia is slated to air on HBO next week. The network says Tapia, using first-person narration and archival footage, will be shown Dec. 16. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival last year and was shown at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Award for best documentary. Tapia died at his Albuquerque home in 2012. Investigators said there were no indications of a drug overdose or alcohol use but that the 45-year-old former fighter likely developed medical complications from past illegal drug use. Tapia was orphaned at 8 when his mother was stabbed 26 times with a screwdriver and left to die.

Petition pushes cop indictments ALBUQUERQUE — Some family members of those killed by Albuquerque police have presented a petition demanding federal indictments. Family members on Wednesday called on U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez to seek indictments against Albuquerque officers linked to more than 40 shootings since 2010. They are upset that Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg has not found probable cause against any of the officers. The petition garnered more than 45,000 signatures. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office did not return a phone call from The Associated Press. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Mexico is still evaluating the March police shooting of 38-year-old camper James Boyd. That shooting, caught on video, generated angry protests around the city.

PRISCILLA MCGILL CARR JOANN (JOJO) Q. GONZALES Priscilla McGill Carr died peacefully on December 3, 2014 at the age of 94 with her family at her bedside. Priscilla (Prissy to her friends) was born in Hoquiam, Washington on April 13, 1920 to Frazer and Rose McGill. She moved with her parents in 1934 to Santa Fe, the place she called home for the next 80 years. During her school years, she formed friendships that lasted throughout her life. That pool of friendships continuously grew, and her family and these friends were the focus of her life.

In 1957 he received his dental degree and they happily returned home to Santa Fe. In addition to raising three children, Priscilla was a longstanding member of the First Presbyterian Church, where she served as a deacon and an elder.

In 2012 Priscilla was honored as a Santa Fe Living Treasure. In 1966, Priscilla began a career in state government. Her work included serving on the staff of the Legislative Finance Committee and as the longtime secretary to the House Appropriations Committee. She also worked in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court and for the State Board of Finance. Priscilla joined Governor King’s staff during his first term, and she continued to work in the Office of the Governor through the administrations of Governor King and Governors Apodaca, Anaya and Carruthers. She earned respect for her quiet confidence in all of these positions. Priscilla is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Lesly Carr; daughter, Jean Eddy; daughter and son-in-law, Carol and James McGiffin, grandchildren Brian Baker and fiance Cary Haynes, Mark Baker and wife Shana, David Carr and wife Zahira, Robert Carr, Margaret Weeks and husband Mark, Michael McGiffin, Peter Carr and wife Jessica, John McGiffin, and her great grandchildren, Aila Rose and Lily Carr, Joshua and Noah Baker, Teagan Weeks, Olivia and soon, Charlotte Carr.

Lyft: PRC divided over business Continued from Page B-1 Lyft, Smith said, is flouting New Mexico law by carrying passengers without authorization from the Public Regulation Commission. Nann Winter, the lawyer for Lyft, argued that Ortiz did not have jurisdiction in the case. She said actions by the Public Regulation Commission are subject to review by the state Supreme Court, not lower courts. Moreover, she said, the Public Regulation Commission has never issued a full and final order on whether it claims to have authority over Lyft and Uber. Members of the Public Regulation Commission have been divided over whether Lyft and Uber should be able to operate in New Mexico without government supervision. Commissioners Patrick Lyons, R-Clovis, Karen Montoya, D-Albuquerque, and Theresa Becenti-Aguilar, a Democrat from the Navajo Nation, have been open to the newcomers being able to operate in the state. Lyons said in a recent interview that it is almost impossible for a new taxi company to crack an essentially closed marketplace in New Mexico. As a state

senator in the 1990s, Lyons said, he watched one entrepreneur pour money into what was a futile effort to start a taxi business. That case left an impression on him because it raised questions about competition being stifled, Lyons said. The other two commissioners, Valerie Espinoza, D-Santa Fe, and Ben Hall, R-Ruidoso, have said Lyft and Uber should be made to comply with the insurance requirements and background checks that taxi companies must follow. Espinoza said the commission has shut down illegal tow truck operations but has done little to get tough with Lyft and Uber. Regardless of how these new companies line up customers,

they are still transporting passengers, just as taxis do, Espinoza said. Taxi companies have been pushing the commission to assert its regulatory authority and rule that Lyft and Uber cannot operate without state certification. Raymond Sanchez, a former speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives, is lobbying for the taxi industry. He attended the hearing before Ortiz, and he has argued to the commission that the new companies are operating unlawfully. Contact Milan Simonich at 986-3080 or msimonich@ sfnewmexican.com.

Neck: Protest slated for Saturday Continued from Page B-1 they gave their statements to investigators. The shooting came as activists plan a rally Saturday to protest officer-involved shootings in New Mexico and elsewhere in the country. The protest will start at 10 a.m. at the Santa Fe Railyard water tower and then wind its way to the busy intersection of St. Francis Drive and Cerrillos Road, activists said. Sanchez, the Santa Fe police detective, has been on the force for five years. She has been on paid administrative leave since Dec. 5. Celina Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department, said Sanchez will take a psychological

exam Friday, and if the psychologist finds her fit to return to duty, she will resume working as a detective. Belkcom, who works for the state Department of Corrections’ Probation and Parole Division, has been with the agency for four years. Alex Tomlin, a spokeswoman for the department, said in an email that Belkcom has also has been on paid administrative leave since Dec. 5 and is expected to return to work Monday. Court documents show the District Attorney’s Office had issued a warrant for Chavez’s arrest last week for “failure to comply with conditions of probation” in a burglary case.

Foster said his client failed to report to his probation officer, which is why there was a warrant for his arrest. Chavez was sentenced to nearly three years of probation as part of a plea deal after he was charged with burglary and conspiracy in 2012.

but closures are rare on the West Coast, so Thursday’s canceled classes were a novelty in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Sonoma and Santa Cruz County. Surfers welcomed big, choppy swells from the same high seas that sent towering sprays of water airborne along breakfronts in San Francisco and Monterey. Ski resorts in the northern Sierra Nevada — where schools and roads were closed by whiteout conditions and power outages — were hoping for three feet of snow once it all settles. Rains were expected to continue through Friday evening across much of California. Even so, California’s farmers would need more storms this size to even begin to recover from a record drought. The storm was spreading into Southern California, areas that have suffered wildfires were preparing for mudslides.

Anne and her husband, Jay, need help paying their rent so they won’t get evicted. Anne just landed a parttime job at a clothing store, and Jay has two seasonal jobs. They are two months behind on rent and have a court date next week to deal with an eviction notice. Their next paychecks will not cover the $660 in late rent payments and $120 for utilities, which they will owe in addition to the court fees. This is the first time they have asked for help, and they’re scared of losing their apartment.

As sovereign nations, some tribes have their own police, some rely on federal law enforcement and some call in state and local police. With limited resources and vast amounts of territory to cover, federal prosecutors will not prosecute minor cases, Marshall said. The tribal policy is based on the so-called “Cole Memo” of August 2013, named after the deputy attorney general who wrote it, in which the Justice Department said the federal government wouldn’t intervene as long as legalization states tightly regulate the drug and take steps to keep it from children, criminal cartels and federal property. In all, the memo said, U.S. attorneys reserve the right to prosecute for eight issues: Sales to kids, marijuana proceeds going to criminal enterprises, shipping marijuana to states where it is illegal, illegal sales, firearms and violence, drugged driving and other public health issues, growing marijuana on public lands and possession of marijuana on federal property.

Woman off death row after serving 22 years The Associated Press

PHOENIX — An Arizona appeals court has ordered that murder charges be dismissed against a woman who spent 22 years on death row in her son’s death. The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the charges against Debra Jean Milke in the 1989 death of her son Christopher can’t be refiled. A threejudge panel said it agrees with Milke’s argument that a retrial would amount to double jeopardy. A federal appeals court threw out Milke’s first-degree murder conviction more than a year ago,

saying prosecutors knew about a history of misconduct by a detective on the case but failed to disclose it. Milke has since been released on bond. Authorities say Milke had two men shoot her 4-year-old son in the desert outside Phoenix. She was found guilty in 1990. The original case against Milke rested largely on her purported confession, which Phoenix police Detective Armando Saldate did not record. He has since retired. That left jurors with Saldate’s word alone that she told him about her involvement. Milke has maintained her innocence and denied she ever confessed.

Gray wolf found dead in Arizona PHOENIX — Wildlife officials are investigating the death of a Mexican gray wolf in Arizona. The Arizona Game and Fish Department announced Thursday that the animal was found dead last month in eastern Arizona. The wolf was a member of the Rim Pack and Maverick Pack, but the agency did not provide any other details. Game and Fish officials say the case is under investigation. Efforts to reintroduce the predators to parts of New Mexico and Arizona have been hampered over the years by illegal shootings, among other things. The endangered wolves currently roam about 7 million acres of federal, tribal and private land in far eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico.

The U.S. Marshals Service says the arrest and the recoveries occurred Wednesday in Albuquerque. Deputy Marshal James Badway says Vincent Armijo was arrested on a kidnapping warrant issued in Oklahoma and awaits extradition to that state. Badway says Armijo is the former husband of the children’s mother, the biological father of one of the children and the stepfather of the other. The deputy marshal says two children were turned over to New Mexico child-welfare authorities pending their

LAS CRUCES — A man suspected of fatally stabbing an Anthony restaurant employee who was walking home after his shift in April has turned himself in to authorities. Dona Ana County Sheriff’s officials say 20-year-old Mario Soto is being held in suspicion of first-degree murder. They say Soto was identified as a suspect in the case shortly after the April 19 death of 21-year-old Gilberto Wences. Wences’ shift ended at 11 p.m. and he was apparently walking through an alley when an altercation occurred. Deputies say preliminary evidence shows Wences ran from the suspect and tried to fight back. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Soto was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals on Tuesday in El Paso. He is currently awaiting extradition to Doña Ana County.

Deputy’s loot auctioned off CORTEZ, Colo. — Thirtytwo bidders spent $4,269 to buy items previously owned by a former Montezuma County undersheriff who used taxpayer money to pay for personal items, including firearms. The Cortez Journal reports Tuesday’s auction, which was called after Robin Cronk pleaded guilty to embezzlement and official misconduct, was over in about 10 minutes. Proceeds from the auction will go toward Cronk’s courtordered restitution of $7,415. Cronk, who was sentenced to 30 days in jail, was accused of trying to sell some of the firearms by posting classified ads. The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Bruce Arians was sick and tired of talk about the St. Louis Rams’ consecutive shutouts. The Arizona Cardinals 12 Cardinals, their Rams 6 coach boasted, were much better on that side of the ball. With the exception of rookie Aaron Donald’s sack that injured quarterback Drew Stanton’s right knee, “They were not near our quarterback,” Arians said after a 12-6 victory Thursday night moved the Cardinals closer to clinching a playoff spot. “Everybody talking all that stuff about how great their defense is, they saw a good defense tonight. It was in red and white.” For the second straight meeting against St. Louis, the Cardinals (11-3) lost a quarterback. “I’m glad we don’t have to play the Rams anymore,” wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. They won both times, thanks to a defense that surrendered only 20 points. Chandler Catanzaro kicked four field goals and Larry Foote had a sack and fumble recovery. Arians said Stanton had a previous knee injury so will need an MRI exam to determine the extent of the damage.

erhaps it was only coincidence that a cloud emerged almost from the start of another chapter of the DemonsHorsemen lore. The tossing of baby powder by the St. Michael’s student section inside Santa Fe High’s Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium created a white cloud that wafted in the air for several minutes, and it could have been a metaphor for the haze that comes from playing 32 intense minutes in a game that defines the St. Michael’sSanta Fe High rivalry. And only when the dust and the haze settle can clarity finally emerge, and it can answer a few troubling trends from the Demons’ 49-46 win over their longtime foes in the opening round of the Bobby Rodriguez Capital City Tournament on Thursday evening.

Lady Horsemen stifle Forde, Lady Eagles By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

If you shut down Mariah Forde, you shut down Belen. That was Martin Romero’s philosophy, and it helped his St. Michael’s girls basketball team beat Belen 43-26 on Thursday in the first round of the Bobby Rodriguez Capital City Tournament in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium.

The Lady Horsemen’s first win of the season pits them against Lovington at 2 p.m. Friday. The Lady Eagles face West Las Vegas in the consolation bracket at 8 a.m. Romero knew that if the Lady Horsemen (1-2) were going to beat Belen, then they had to shut down senior post Forde, who will hoop it up for Air Force Academy next year. St. Michael’s kept Forde to just five points, and the Lady Horsemen

jumped to a 13-5 lead after a quarter while the Lady Eagles were trying to find Forde in the paint. Forde finished the first quarter with no points, and the Lady Horsemen knew that victory was almost certain. “Once we shut her down, they were starting to get frustrated, and I knew right then that we had it,” said St. Michael’s starting point guard Jocelyn Fernandez.

The lack of production from Forde did take Belen out of its game, and that forced the Lady Eagles to find new offensive options while also fighting a big deficit. “I think they definitely frustrated [Forde],” Belen head coach Richard Armijo said. “They were a little impatient because they wanted to get it to her right away, and we had plans

SAN DIEGO — Baseball’s winter meetings ended with an old-style spurt of swaps, with All-Stars switching teams at a rapid pace and executives scrambling to fill roster voids. Alfredo Simon, Dee Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Montero, Jeff Samardzija, Brandon Moss, Dan Haren and Howie Kendrick were among the All-Stars dealt by the time teams headed home Thursday, and Matt Kemp and Jimmy Rollins were on the verge of switching clubs. The Los Angeles and Chicago teams were the epicenter of change, along with the Miami Marlins. Twelve trades involving 44 players were made over the four days, according to Major League Baseball, up from five swaps last year and three in 2012. There hadn’t been this many trades at a winter meetings since 2006. “People are motivated,” Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said.

head coach Eugene Doyle has a deep pool of talent that is capable of competing for a title. I have to admit that I doubted Capital after it lost stars in Jason Alarcon, Luis Rios and Brayan Perez, but the Jaguars proved me wrong very quickly. The key to Capital’s success this year was its depth, with players who could come off the bench and play as well as the starters. That speaks volumes to the kind of ship Doyle runs on the south side of town. Expect the Jaguars to be in the mix again next year. Prep has the ability to repeat for many years to come, and that’s also thanks to a well-run program by head coach Hersch Wilson. You can also expect them to be in the mix next year despite losing eight seniors, amongst whom are A-AAAA player of the year Keenan Amer and 6-foot-6 goalkeeper Ian Andersson,

who grabbed 22 saves in the Blue Griffins’ championship win over Albuquerque Sandia Prep. Both coaches are running great programs with scores of talent, but it would not be possible if not for the interest that Santa Feans have put in the sport in recent years. Doyle and Wilson believe the club system in Santa Fe and Albuquerque is improving players’ skill level, and they’re becoming more acquainted with competition from around the state. The Prep boys already knew players from Sandia Prep and Albuquerque Bosque School, and every little advantage helps. This is not a freak year for the city of Santa Fe. Capital and Prep will continue to compete for blue trophies, and that is a product of Santa Fe’s passion for soccer. Other cities better take notice.

PREP ROUNDUP

Lady Sundevils rally, beat Lady Huskies The New Mexican

What the Española Valley Lady Sundevils show in flashes has Cindy Roybal wondering what they can do when they put it together. Española 60 Española trailed by as much as 21 points Abq. Hope 58 to Albuquerque Hope Christian in the opening round of the Joe Armijo Classic at Albuquerque Academy, but the Lady Sundevils played stifling defense — as evidenced by Hope’s 19 points in the second half — to pull out a 60-58 thriller on Thursday. It was Alexis Lovato who went into what Roybal, the Lady Sundevils head coach, calls “beast mode” in the final seconds, as she grabbed Kaitlyn Romero’s missed free throw with 4 seconds left in the air and put it back in for the winner. “She is just unstoppable,” Roybal said. “And the thing is, we’re not getting her the ball enough.” Still, it took a remarkable comeback for Española (6-0) to make it a game. The Lady Huskies hit three 3-pointers in the opening quarter and scored 25 points in the first quarter, on their way to a 39-23 halftime lead. It took some pressure defense applied by the Lady Sundevils and a 14-for-29 effort from the free-throw line by Hope to make the comeback possible. The Lady Sundevils were more efficient at the stripe, hitting 23 of 32, with Lovato connecting on all 11 of her attempts. LOS LUNAS 61, LOS ALAMOS 59 (OT) The Lady Hilltoppers’ first loss of the

season came with more heartache due to the fact that it was a two-point loss in overtime. Los Alamos (5-1) held a four-point lead at halftime, but the Lady Tigers hung tough in a first-round game of the Joe Armijo Classic at Albuquerque Academy. “I’d rather lose by 20 than lose like that,” Los Alamos head coach Nestor Trujillo said. “I don’t know that we could have done differently.” Amber Logan led all scorers with 24 points for Los Alamos to go with 12 points from Makaela Jones. Jordan Holland scored 16 points to lead the Lady Tigers. Los Alamos will either play Albuquerque West Mesa on Friday. LAGUNA-ACOMA 65, MONTE DEL SOL 14 Lady Dragons head coach Ricardo Arredondo wants his players to keep their heads up despite an ugly loss to the host team in the first round of the LagunaAcoma Tournament. “They understand that we have a lot to learn,” Arredondo said. “They’re playing hard, but they have not quite clicked in order to play team. We walked in there knowing we were going to be outmatched. They know better times are ahead.” Monte del Sol will try to bounce back with a consolation game against Zuni at 2:30 p.m.

13 points for SFIS, while Del Norte had Elise Medina score 24 poitns and Destiny Botello chipped in with 15. ESCALANTE 38, SANTA FE PREP 36 (OT) The Blue Griffins were motoring along with a 17-7 lead at the half when the engine stalled. That was enough of a hiccup for the Lady Lobos to respond with a 17-5 scoring edge in the third quarter to take a 24-22 lead. “We came out flat after halftime and couldn’t put the game away,” Prep head coach Anika Amon said. “. They hit some key 3s that kept them in it. They got momentum that fueled their press.” Prep (5-2) tied it at 34 in regulation, but was outscored 6-4 in the extra period. Prep missed a 3 to win it in OT, and the putback to tie the score did not drop. Tenisha Torrez led Escalante (0-1) with 11 points, while Alexandra Marquez and Victoriana Salazar had nine. Alexis Mundt led the Blue Griffins with 13 points, and Bianca Gonzales added eight. BOYS POJOAQUE VALLEY 73, RUIDOSO 37 Four Elks scored in double figures to help them crush the Warriors in the first round of the Artesia City of Champions Classic. Pojoaque (6-1) had a 39-23 lead at halftime and kept compounding it. “We just kept building on the lead,” Pojoaque head coach Joey Trujillo said. “We kept the defensive pressure up and were more patient on offense and we were able to get the shots that we wanted.” Chris Martinez led the Elks with 13 points while Jonathan Lewis was the only Warriors in double figures with 12 points.

SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 47, ALBUQUERQUE DEL NORTE 42 The Lady Braves (3-2) pressed the Lady Knights into just eight points in the fourth quarter to break a 34-all tie and advance to the semifinals of the Alice King Invitational on Friday. Kayla Joe and Alli Chavarillo each had

Hazy: Jaguars’ defense key in beating Prep Continued from Page B-6 There was a 2:49 field-goal drought in the first quarter, a 6:59 cold spell in the second, then came a 6:20 hole in the third in which Santa Fe High was 0-for-10. Yet, when Keanyn Evans rattled in an 8-footer floater with :18 seconds left in the third, Santa Fe High led 35-34 going into the final 8 minutes. The cold shooting wouldn’t have bothered Rodriguez if it wasn’t for the fact that Santa Fe High did it passively by shooting almost exclusively from the perimeter at a 2-for-15 clip. “Jerry West is not out there, and he’s not putting on a Demon uniform,” Rodriguez said. “When you don’t have the hot hand, you need to do some other things: Shot-fake and drive, pass-fake and move the ball, skip it and kick it inside. We need to learn to kick it inside more.” Fortunately, the Demons did when it mattered the most. Hayden Hargrove started a key 6-0 run that turned a 40-38 St. Michael’s lead into a 44-40 Demons advantage with a three-point play off a putback with 3:48 to go. Then came some hustle from the Santa Fe High defense, as Hargrove came up with a steal in the backcourt and the ball found its way to Warren Fulgenzi for a 3-pointer to make it 44-40 at the 3:37 mark. But the Horsemen didn’t go away quietly. Jeff Griego dropped a 3 to make it 44-43, then Cameron Conway hit two free throws after Mueller made just one of two with 1:28 left to tie it at 45. That’s when senior guard Korwin Mueller listened to

his coach’s words. After Julio Rivera caught Mueller open on the opposite end of the court he fired a skip pass to him. Mueller drove and pulled up from about 8 feet from the left side and banked in the game winner with :40 left on the clock. “I pulled up because I saw [a defender] was waiting for me,” Mueller said. “We work on that every day in practice, and I just had the confidence to go off the glass and in.” Conway had a chance to answer after he was fouled at :23.6, but he missed the first of two free throws. That was a microcosm of the poor free-throw shooting for St.

Michael’s. Before Conway went 3-for-4 to end the game, the Horsemen missed seven straight free throws. In a game this tight, they were knockout punches that failed to land. “We’re sitting there, boxing out, saying, ‘Thank God he missed it,’ ” Mueller said. “Now, we’re going to take the ball up the court and respond.” CAPITAL 40, SANTA FE PREP 35 The Jaguars (4-2) have made defense their calling card so far this season, and that was clear against the Blue Griffins. They held Prep (5-4) to just three points in the third quarter and 12 in the second half. Still, it was a 28-26 Capital lead with 4 minutes left to play when

Bryan Garcia’s three-point play made it a five-point lead, then Eric Coca followed with a 3 for a 34-26 lead. The next task for the Jaguars is to slow down the high-powered Hobbs offense, which scored 95 points against Deming and beat Capital 87-47 in last year’s tournament semifinals. Jaguars head coach Gomez said his team’s lack of size must be offset with its defensive intensity. “We can’t let have runs of 10s and 15s [points],” Gomez said. “We just got to go out, keep them in front of us and make them take shots they’re not comfortable with.” HOBBS 95, DEMING 59 The Eagles (6-0) outscored the Wildcats 31-8 in the third quarter to extend a 50-37 halftime lead. Pierre Swain had 10 of his 14 points in the quarter for Hobbs, which had four players in double figures. Trey Nelson lit up Deming for 25 points, with 11 coming in the second quarter. Kelvin Jones added 15 and Josh Ruiz had 11. Alvaro Zamora and Andres Villa each had 13 points in the first half to keep the Wildcats (3-2) close, but they combined for just seven the rest of the way. Villa had 18 points, while Zamora added 15. GADSDEN 58, LOVINGTON 51 The Panthers (6-3) outscored the Wildcats 25-15 in the fourth quarter to rally from a 36-33 deficit and advance to the semifinals. Gadsden’s Tommy Cano had nine of his 16 points in the quarter, and the team his 11 of 12 free throws to preserve the win. Fernie Jauregui had 11 points for the Panthers, while Jacob Holguin added 10. Lovington had Luis Carrillo with 12 points, and Kenny Oliver led the way with 13.

Girls: St. Mike’s searches for its identity Continued from Page B-6 to move the ball before we actually got it in to her, and I think they kind of got in a panic and we just didn’t execute what we needed to.” The shutdown also speaks to the execution St. Michael’s put into the game. The Lady Horsemen had 10 days to prepare, and they formulated a very specific plan for how to handle Belen. “It was a beautiful effort by the girls,” Romero said. “We drew up a game plan, and they pulled it off. We covered all the angles and really made it difficult for them to find offense.” After St. Michael’s underperformed in its first two games, the team feels like it finally put a complete game together, although it wasn’t perfect. “I still feel like our team doesn’t have an identity yet,” said Fernandez, who led the team with 11 points. “We could have beat them by a lot more, but our shots weren’t going in. But we played our hearts and played like a team like we should have been this whole season.” The Lady Horsemen will continue the

growing process against a Lady Wildcats team that knocked them out of the Class AAA quarterfinals last year with a 48-32 win. While Lovington moved up to AAAAA this year, it still gives them all the motivation they nee. “After being knocked out of state last year by Lovington, they’re hungry for another shot,” Romero said. “My girls remember the loss, I promise.” Lovington has a talented player in senior Juztice Perry, and just like Thursday, beating the Lady Wildcats might come down to keeping her from getting the ball in the net. “If we shut her down, we can shut Lovington down,” Fernandez said. If they Lady Horsemen can stick to that strategy, it may pay off once again. LOVINGTON 50, WEST LAS VEGAS 41 Perry went off for 28 points to help the Lady Wildcats get to the semifinals and give the Lady Dons their first loss of the season. West Las Vegas (4-1) only scored five points in the first quarter, but woke up and scored 28 points in the second and third quarters combined. Deanna Bustos scored nine points to lead

the Lady Dons while Perry was the only Lovington player to reach double digits. SANTA FE HIGH 47, LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 35 The Demonettes outscored the Lady Cardinals 14-3 in the third quarter to overcome a 18-17 halftime deficit. Kayla Herrera led the charge for Santa Fe High (8-0) with 18 points while point guard Savina Padilla added 10. Amber Yara scored 13 points and had all three of Robertson’s points in the third quarter. The Demonettes meet Pojoaque Valley in the semifinals at 5:30 p.m. while the Lady Cardinals (3-2) play Capital in the consolation bracket at 11 a.m. POJOAQUE VALLEY 50, CAPITAL 26 The Elkettes only allowed the Lady Jaguars to score 12 points in the first half to cruise to a win in the early-morning hours. Aaliya Casados scored 13 points to lead Pojoaque (3-3) while Teara Herrera led Capital (1-7) with five points. Pojoaque head coach Chris Williams will play his old coaching staff on Friday, as he was an assistant coach with Santa Fe High last year.

Broncos’ last AFC West road loss: 2010 By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Demaryius Thomas stood silently at his locker, stumped. He just couldn’t recall the last time the Denver Broncos lost a road game in the AFC West. “Nope,” he said finally. “It wasn’t with Peyton.” That much he knew. The Broncos have found rarified air away from the Mile High City. Their last defeat in the division at an opponent’s stadium came on Dec. 19, 2010, when they lost to Oakland 39-23 in Tim Tebow’s first career start. “That was a long time ago,” Thomas said. On Sunday, the Broncos (10-3) will go for their NFL record-tying 12th straight divisional road win when they visit the San Diego Chargers (8-5). Since the merger, the San Francisco 49ers from 1987-90 are the only ones who have won 12 in a row away from home in their division. “That’s huge,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. “I didn’t even know that.” For good reason: coach John Fox, whose Carolina Panthers won 10 consecutive divisional road games from 2004-07, has his team dialed in on Philip Rivers, not any records. “We’re still in our journey and right now all our focus is on the San Diego Chargers,” Fox said. “What that brings is kind of what it brings.” A victory Sunday would bring the Broncos their fourth straight AFC West title and also keep the heat on the New England Patriots for home-field advantage in the playoffs. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders admitted he’s not just focused on the Chargers but also on the Patriots. “I would be lying to you guys to say, ‘Yeah, we’re only worried about ourselves right now,’ which we are. But obviously we want home-field advantage and I know the whole league is watching it also,” Sanders said. What makes the Broncos’ streak noteworthy is that it’s encompassed both the offense run by Tebow in 2011 and the one engineered by Peyton Manning since 2012. OK, the Raiders haven’t had a winning record since 2002. But the Chargers and Chiefs crashed the playoff party last year as wild cards and both are in the postseason

hunt again. “Our division’s always tough every year,” Harris said. “It’s getting better, too. With Derek Carr, the Raiders are only going to get better.” The Broncos are hoping to get two sidelined playmakers back for Sunday’s showdown. Linebacker Danny Trevathan, who’s had two separate left leg fractures, is eligible to return from IR, and tight end Julius Thomas said he’s optimistic he’ll return from a sprained left ankle that’s kept him out almost a month. Without the matchup nightmare that Thomas presents for defenses, Manning has been a mere mortal as the Broncos focused on getting their ground game going. They went from passing the ball 64 percent of the time through the first 10 games to throwing it only 45 percent over the last three weeks.

Manning’s touchdown streak ended at 51 games last weekend, leading football fans and fantasy owners to worry that age is catching up to the 38-year-old QB. “It’s comical to me,” offensive coordinator Adam Gase said. “We heard the same thing about [Tom] Brady [in September] and he’s been ripping the league apart since then. You never doubt players of this caliber, I know that. I’m pretty sure every defensive coordinator is not thinking that.” NOTES u Sanders was blasted on back-to-back plays Sunday by Bills safeties Duke Williams and Aaron Williams, who went for the big hit rather than the ball. Sanders said one of them — he thinks it was Aaron Williams — even admitted to him that they were trying to knock him from the game. “But that’s not that big of a deal, I hear it all the time,” Sanders said, adding, “I enjoy it on Sundays but during the week it’s kind of painful.”

Meetings: Flurry of last-minute negotiation Continued from Page B-6 With major league revenues in the $9 billion range, increased sharing and changes to rules for the amateur draft, more clubs have money to spend and large-market teams are more constrained. The four organizations chasing San Francisco in the NL West all changed their top baseball front-office official since last year’s gathering: Tony La Russa took over at the Diamondbacks, Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers, A. J. Preller with the Padres and Jeff Bridich with the Rockies. Matt Silverman replaced Friedman with the Rays. “People have been very, very aggressive,” Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. “Action starts more quickly, so when you get here I think you’re prepared to move. Secondly, a lot of free agents started to sign. I think a lot of clubs were openminded. There’s been some change of regimes that have also contributed to that.” A $155 million, six-year agreement between left-hander Jon Lester and the Cubs late Tuesday night seemed to break a market logjam. In deals announced just before midnight Wednesday, the Dodgers acquired Kendrick from the Angels to play second and worked to obtain Rollins from Philadelphia in a remake of their middle infield. They dealt Gordon, Haren — who is mulling retirement — infielder Miguel Rojas and a

player to be named or cash to the Marlins as part of a seven-player trade for lefthander Andrew Heaney, right-hander Chris Hatcher, infielder Kike Hernandez and catcher Austin Barnes. The Dodgers then sent Heaney, considered one of baseball’s top pitching prospects, to the Angels for Kendrick. And as dawn broke, the Dodgers had a deal in place to send Kemp and catcher Tim Federowicz down Interstate 5 to San Diego for catcher Yasmani Grandal and two pitchers. The trade was pending physical exams and approval by the commissioner’s office of the $32 million the Dodgers will send the Padres to help offset the $107 million remaining in the final five years of Kemp’s deal. And the Dodgers also worked to complete a $48 million, four-year agreement with pitcher Brandon McCarthy. The Marlins, meanwhile, got pitcher Mat Latos from Cincinnati. Detroit made a pair of trades, sending pitcher Rick Porcello to Boston for Cespedes and two minor leaguers, and then replenishing its rotation with Simon, obtained from Cincinnati for two minor leaguers. Reds GM Walt Jocketty made that deal in a hotel hallway — Dombrowski’s room was right near his. Boston also worked to finalize a trade with Arizona for pitcher Wade Miley and a freeagent deal with pitcher Justin Masterson.

“There’s obviously been a lot more movement. The pace has quickened, certainly,” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. “As expected, it picked up after Lester.” The Cubs also have a $20 million, twoyear deal with right-hander Jason Hammel. And they acquired an All-Star catcher in Montero from Arizona as they try to bring a World Series title to the North Side for the first time since 1908. On the South Side, the White Sox struck a $46 million, four-year deal with closer David Robertson and boosted their rotation by getting Samardzija from Oakland after adding reliever Zach Duke and first baseman Adam LaRoche earlier in the offseason. Other teams in the Central were adding, too. Minnesota and right-hander Ervin Santana worked to finalize a $55 million, four-year agreement, and AL champion Kansas City had a $17 million, two-year deal in place with Kendrys Morales. He figures to take over at designated hitter from Billy Butler, who left as a free agent and agreed to a $30 million, three-year deal with Oakland. St. Louis made a deal for free-agent power hitter Mark Reynolds. Jocketty attributed much of the action to new team bosses. “I think they wanted to be active and try to do things quickly,” he said.

NEW YORK n nominations for the 72nd annual Golden Globes announced Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif., the season’s Oscar favorites largely stayed on course, with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Birdman spreading its wings the widest. The comedy, starring Michael Keaton as a hasbeen Hollywood star trying to mount a serious play on Broadway, led all films with seven nominations, including best picture (comedy or musical), best actor for Keaton and nods for supporting players Edward Norton and Emma Stone. But Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age drama Boyhood, critical darling and perceived Academy Awards frontrunner, was close behind with five nominations including best picture (drama), as were the five nods for the World War II code breaker drama The Imitation Game. Though the Globes don’t have much relevance to Academy Awards, some fortunes did shift. Jennifer Aniston, fresh off a nomination by the Screen Actors Guild for Cake, seemed to clearly join the best-actress fray with a nod from the Globes, too. Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, also honored by SAG, picked up a surprising four nominations, including best picture (comedy or musical) and best actor for Ralph Fiennes. And Angelina Jolie, long a favorite of the Hollywood Foreign Press with seven previous nods, saw her highly touted World War II drama Unbroken shut out entirely. Selma, the story of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1965 march, netted a strong four nods including best picture (drama) despite losing out in Wednesday’s SAGs. The Selma team, which also earned a best-actor nomination for David Oyelowo, watched the nominations together. Director Ava Duvernay, who became the first black woman nominated for best director by the Globes, has previously attended the awards as a publicist. Said Duvernay: “This year I’ll be at the party with a seat in an actual chair instead of standing on the side.” Thus far, Boyhood, which Linklater filmed intermittently over 12 years to capture the passage of time, has cleaned up with critics and been thrust to the fore by its remarkable time-lapse production. It was nominated for Linklater’s direction and script, as well as the supporting performances of Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. There were quirks, as there often is with the Hollywood Foreign Press, a collection of about 85 mostly freelance journalists. For her leading turn in Annie, 11-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis surprisingly landed amid a best actress (comedy or musical) group that includes Julianne Moore (Maps to the Stars), Helen Mirren (The HundredFoot Journey), Amy Adams (Big Eyes) and Emily Blunt

(Into the Woods). Moore, now a three-time nominee, is considered the favorite for best actress thanks to her performance as a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice. Along with her and Aniston are Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything). Jones’ Theory co-star, Eddie Redmayne, who stars as Stephen Hawking, was also nominated for best actor. Joining Redmayne and Oyelowo are Steve Carell (Foxcatcher), Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) and Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game). The World War II code breaker drama The Imitation Game, starring Cumberbatch as mathematician Alan Turing, also went over well with the HFPA. The Weinstein Co. release won nods for best picture (drama), Keira Knightley for best supporting actress, Graham Moore for best screenplay and Alexandre Desplat for best score. The tragic wresting drama Foxcatcher, which also won Mark Ruffalo a supporting actor nod, rounded out the best drama field. In the best picture, comedy or musical, category, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel were joined by St. Vincent, Into the Woods and — in a surprise — the independent British film Pride. Fiennes and Keaton were joined in the best actor, comedy or musical, category, by Bill Murray (St. Vincent) and a few less-expected choices — Joaquin Phoenix for Inherent Vice and Christoph Waltz for Big Eyes. The Globes, though known for sometimes idiosyncratic choices like Salmon Fishing in the Yemen or The Tourist in years past, secured the attendance of one star — George Clooney — ahead of Thursday’s nominations by selecting the actor-director for its honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award. Meryl Streep added her 26th nomination (eight wins) with a best supporting actress nod for the Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods. She joins Stone, Arquette, Knightley and Jessica Chastain for A Most Violent Year. In supporting actor, J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Robert Duvall (The Judge) rounded out the field of Hawke, Norton and Ruffalo. Among the TV categories, Fargo led with five nominations, including best TV miniseries or movie. HBO dominated with 15 nominations, while upstarts Netflix (seven nods) and Amazon (two) also made inroads. The best drama series nominations went to The Affair, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife and House of Cards. The nominees for best TV comedy series are: Girls, Jane the Virgin, Orange is the New Black, Silicon Valley and Transparent. For the third time in a row, the Globes telecast will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The show will air live from the Beverly Hills Hotel in California on Jan. 11.

By Elizabeth Sanchez Generation Next

ichaela “Mikki” Medina, a junior at Santa Fe High School, wants to be treated just like any other student. An avid collector of Elvis Presley memorabilia, she enjoys the school’s Life Skills program because she’s “always occupied with something.” Mikki is one of about 2,250 students who have a special education Individualized Education Program (IEP) in the district. She has cerebral palsy, which has caused one of two “dead” spots in her brain. She has two leaky heart valves. She had leg surgery on both legs when she was 5 years old, eye surgery when she was 3 and has had three holes in her heart repaired. Her parents, Luke and Anita Medina, appreciate the support of the Life Skills program, which prepares special education students for life by teaching them basic activities such as budgeting money and using public transportation. “Kids with special needs don’t need to be treated differently. They want the same things as everybody else. Full inclusion in school [which has not always happened] has really helped,” Luke Medina said. Anita Medina said that Mikki’s IEP team helps her grow, express and change her individual needs as the group focuses “on her abilities, not her disabilities.” Mikki also attends the Carlos Ortega Teen Center, where she can play pool, watch movies, have her hair or makeup done, receive tutoring and go on field trips. Her parents say there are not many after-school programs geared toward special-needs students. The school district’s special education programs educate and serve students 3 to 21 years of age, according to Jeff Abbott, who is parent educator resource coordinator for Santa Fe Public Schools and has a child in special education. “Santa Fe Public Schools provides any student who is eligible for special education services access to a free, appropriate public education,” he said. “Each student gets an Individualized Education Program, which must be established, implemented, monitored and revised regularly.” One of those programs is Life Skills. According to Life Skills teacher Rebecca Eignor of De Vargas Middle School, the goal “is to help students become as independent as possible. We focus on academics, job skills, recreation and leisure skills, and daily living skills.” Many students in Life Skills take other courses as per their Individualized Education Programs. Michelle Tague, an educational assistant at Santa Fe High School who has worked with students in special education for five years, said, “Every student with an IEP has to have post-secondary goals after age 16. Life Skills gears students up for [life] after high school [through] community-based instruction.” Activities include trips to the grocery store to shop and to the mall to inquire about job applications. At-school activities include cooking, cleaning, writing mock business applications, reading, writing and math. “[Life Skills] helps me a lot,” said Brittney Salmeron, an eighth-grader at De Vargas Middle School. “If I’m not understanding something, teachers will help me. They make me feel great. They tell me, ‘You’re doing great. You’re working hard.’ ”

This organization is holding an annual conference on special education for Indian children in Albuquerque in March 2015.

For children with special needs, there are challenges. The Medinas have faced prejudice since Mikki was a young child. “I pity those people, because they’re missing out on some really amazing children and people in general. These kids have so much to offer, and when someone puts up a shield because someone has a special need, it’s really barbaric,” Anita Medina said. “When Mikki recognizes that behavior, we explain to her that those are people she doesn’t need in her life because they won’t offer any positive reinforcement, and she can’t be positive with people like that because they’re going to look at her disability instead of her as a person.” Some in the special education field say improvements are possible. Eignor believes that supporting students more in the general education curriculum would help. “Some general education teachers need more support modifying the curriculum and providing accommodations. We could use more collaboration time with these teachers,” Eignor said. Luke Medina said he wonders if sometimes people who head special-needs programs lack firsthand experience with special needs students and thus “have not always been through these processes and had to fight for something [like education] for their child.” His experience shows that when they do have that personal experience, these administrators can throw more weight into supporting programs that make a difference. The Medinas also say paperwork given to parents who have children in special-needs programs could be laid out more clearly and certain programs advertised more — such as the Develop-

How are special education students in your school viewed and treated?

Brooke Bauer, St. Michael’s “I think they are viewed the same way they treat everyone, equal, but they are not put ahead of anyone.”

mental Disabilities Waiver, which provides support programs for special-needs children such as Mikki. They said administrators need to communicate more with teachers, aides and parents in order for this to occur. The couple usually hear about special-needs programs through other parents of children in special education. Luke Medina encourages parents with children who have special needs to, “Stand up and fight for your child, because ultimately you are the voice of your child.” “Because there’s a label on you does not mean that you are not allowed to be educated,” Anita Medina added. Tague would like to see more funding, more hiring [there are eight vacant special education teacher positions in Santa Fe Public Schools at this time], as well as professional development training for general education instructors. Mikki said she wishes there were more ramps in schools and that students did not need to use keys for the elevators at school. Abbott recognizes that certain aspects of the department might not be working well for everyone: “Even when we think things are going well, we’re not finished. There’s always room to progress and get stronger in our work.” Eignor hopes others can see her students as she does — “sweet, caring, capable human beings with a ton of potential. Special education is not just glorified baby-sitting. My students don’t just color and do arts and crafts. They do academics and are challenged daily.” Tague feels the same way. “Those kids are amazing. … They’re like little angels. They’re innocent. … I want to help them get through school, become independent and move onto bigger and better things. … “At the end of the day, they are like any other person, but they have struggles that we cannot comprehend,” she said. “It’s not a monotonous job. Whenever I’m not there, I never stop thinking about these students. They’re important people and should be told so.” Mikki said the best advice she has received from her Life Skills teachers is, “Just keep your head held up high.” Anita and Luke Medina say their daughter a blessing who has taught them compassion and strength. “We don’t pity her or compare her to others,” Anita Medina said. “It is important for us to individualize her as a person, not as a disability or a diagnosis. “I am proud to be her mom.” Elizabeth Sanchez is a senior at Santa Fe High School.

hen I was in elementary school, I overheard a very tense phone conversation between my younger brother’s preschool teacher and my parents. My 15-year-old brother, Liam, who has a developmental delay and hearing loss, had been attending a private school in Santa Fe at that time when he was suddenly kicked out because his teacher believed she could not give him the attention he needed. My parents were given just three days to find a full-time educational aide for Liam or he could not return to the school. Since then, there have been plenty of ups and downs in Liam’s educational path. He attended Wood Gormley Elementary School, which was largely a positive experience for him and for my family. This was due in part to his strong relationship with his full-time aide, who worked with him for the majority of his time there and helped him to progress. At Wood Gormley, Liam was part of a regular classroom, though he was pulled out of it for meetings with his special education teacher, speech therapist, occupational therapist and physical therapist. The biggest challenge that my family faced during Liam’s time at Wood Gormley was the inconsistency of his special education teachers and speech therapists. The most experienced teachers and therapists never stayed at the school for long, so Liam had to get acquainted with a new person nearly every year. This was especially difficult because in order for him to be engaged and focused, he needed someone whom he knew and trusted. It was frustrating for my parents to see his best special education teachers leave because it meant he had to start from scratch again with someone new.

Liam’s experiences at school have ultimately taught my parents and me the importance of actively advocating for a student’s needs. Originally, my parents felt that it was important for Liam to be integrated into a regular classroom. Learning the social skills to interact with others his age is vital. In the beginning, the students in Liam’s class were patient, thoughtful and accepting of his differences. But as he got older and the learning differences between him and his peers became more apparent, the social aspect of being in a regular classroom became more of a challenge. When he graduated from sixth grade, my parents chose to put him in a mixed-grade Life Skills class with other special-needs students at Gonzales Community School. Liam is very happy in his new class there. The curriculum is not purely academic and also includes skills such as learning to shop at the grocery store. His class is even receiving cooking lessons — which makes me jealous. Liam and I have been very close since childhood, as I was sometimes the only person able to understand what he was trying to communicate. As someone who values his happiness, it is reassuring to know that he is making educational progress while also feeling accepted socially. Liam’s experiences at school have ultimately taught my parents and me the importance of actively advocating for a student’s needs. Positive, constant support for a special-needs child does not come automatically, and that student can easily fall through the cracks. The success of the child requires commitment on the part of the family — and the community as a whole. Eliza Donahue is a senior at Desert Academy. Contact her at elizaskis@ gmail.com.
