In the summer of 2013, torrential rains hammered San Miguel County. Flooding washed some roads away and buried others

out of their way. Local officials estimated the damages at more than a half-million dollars, far more than the cash-strapped county could afford. Gov. Susana Martinez quickly issued disaster declarations for San Miguel and several other counties. The declaration should have cleared the way for the state Department of Home-

land Security and Emergency Management to assess the damage and begin issuing checks to the flood-damaged counties for repairs. The whole process should have taken just weeks. Nearly a year later, San Miguel County was still waiting for its relief funds to arrive.

BEFORE VIRGINIA ‘To this day, people call me a liar,’ says former UNM student, rape victim By Tina Griego

en years ago, before the University of Virginia and Jackie, there was the University of Colorado and Katie. It was 2004 and the CUBoulder campus was in an uproar over allegations that its football team used sex and alcohol to woo recruits, accusations that had their roots in an earlier off-campus party tied to the alleged rape of three women. Katie Hnida, a onetime University of New Mexico student who was a place kicker for the Lobos football team, had been a student at CU. She played on the Buffaloes as their first female kicker, and in 2000 she was hanging out with a teammate at his apartment when, she said, he raped her. When she came forward, almost four years later, in the midst of the school’s recruiting controversy, she slammed into a wall of skepticism and scorn. The football coach dismissed her accusation by saying she was a terrible kicker. People called her a liar. She says she thought the fact that she’d been a virgin would spare her the dredging up of a sexual history because, she says, “I had none.” It didn’t. “To this day, people call me a liar,” Hnida says now. “Sometimes I wish they could be there when I get so nauseous and sick that I’m throwing up and nights I can’t sleep and when I got into a depressive funk. Those times are rare now — it does get better, I want people to

know that — but they are still around because it never truly goes away. It changes you.” It is largely forgotten now in the heat of the UVA story that 10 years ago the same kind of furor ensued, the same kind of accusations exploded about a campus culture of relative privilege turning away from a serious problem. The same vows of reform and calls for dialogue and soul-searching were made. So, too, was the equal insistence that the problem was alcohol and the lack of common sense on the part of women — even as more came forward to say they’d been raped. The CU scandal roiled the campus for years and contributed to suspensions and resignations. There are obvious differences between then and now, between CU-Boulder and UVA, between Hnida and Jackie, not the least of which is that Jackie’s story has evolved into a textbook case of journalistic malfeasance amid growing doubts among her friends about inconsistencies in her story. Jackie’s account is of a brutal, gang sexual assault, the kind everyone accepts as rape because she says it was violent and she was sober and did not know all her alleged assailants. Hnida’s alleged assailant was a friend, a teammate,

WASHINGTON — In a strong display of unity after the shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., the relatives of African Americans killed by officers in similar incidents dating back more than a decade shared a stage on Saturday to call on Congress to make changes in the criminal justice system.

NATION&WORLD 2 years later, Newtown in recovery

Effort began as review of orders’ ‘secular’ leanings but now focuses on their quality of life, sister says By Rachel Zoll The Associated Press

The Associated Press

With the second anniversary of the Newtown school shooting arriving Sunday, local officials and others touched by the tragedy have been busy on many fronts, continuing the town’s recovery from the massacre of 20 children and six educators. But like last year, this year’s anniversary will not be marked with a public commemoration. Some families that channeled grief into activism are forging ahead with efforts to curb gun violence and improve mental health treatment. The town has begun reviewing ideas for a permanent memorial, and the first construction work has begun on the new Sandy Hook Elementary School, to replace the school building that was razed last year. Newtown also acquired and will decide what to do with the home were the shooter lived. The gunman, Adam Lanza, shot and killed his mother Dec. 14, 2012, before driving to the school where he gunned down the victims with a semi-automatic rifle before committing suicide. Here is a look at recent developments in Newtown: Memorial planning: A town panel has gathered input from more than 350 people including survivors, first responders and others touched by the tragedy on the search for a permanent memorial to honor the victims. The public will be invited to weigh in during forums next year. So far, 18 of the 26 victims’ families have gotten involved. Counseling services: The town is still seeing high demand for counseling services among survivors, parents and others dealing with the effects of the tragedy. Thousands of people in Newtown have taken advantage of therapy and other programs made available through millions in grants and donations. Agencies have been working to set up a support system for the next 12 to 15 years, as the youngest survivors approach adulthood. Town acquires lanza home: Earlier this month, Newtown took possession of the house in an upscale subdivision where Lanza lived with his mother. The bank that transferred ownership, at no cost to the town, first removed and burned all of the personal effects remaining inside. The town now must decide what to do with the building, which several residents have suggested should be demolished. Investigations: A report released last month by Connecticut’s Office of the Child Advocate found that Lanza’s parents, education team and others missed signs of how deeply troubled he was and opportunities to steer him toward more appropriate treatment. Lanza’s obsessions with firearms, death and mass shootings have been documented by police files, and investigators concluded more than a year ago that the motive for the shootings may never be known. Victims’ families may file lawsuits: Parents of more than half the children killed in the shooting have filed papers that lay the groundwork for possible wrongful death lawsuits, but the documents do not indicate who would be sued.

REMEMBERING THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE A World War II re-enactor attends the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Southeastern Belgium, on Saturday. Braving snowy weather, Americans and Belgians gathered to mark one of the biggest and bloodiest U.S. battles of the war. ‘We must never forget what happened in 1944,’ said Jean-Claude Klepper, 62, of Virton, Belgium. ‘Many American soldiers came here to defend Europe. We must honor them for what they did.’ PHOTOS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In brief Report: CIA lied about part of torture program WASHINGTON — When CIA interrogators were torturing accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed at a secret prison in Poland in March 2003, a top CIA analyst asked them to show him a photograph of an alleged terrorist named Majid Khan. The interrogators slapped Mohammed, denied him sleep, rehydrated him through his rectum, threatened to kill his children and waterboarded him 183 times. And he offered up details on Khan. The analyst later told the CIA’s inspector general that Mohammed’s information helped lead to Khan’s arrest, CIA records show. The watchdog included that as a success story in a 2004 report that became public and for many years stood as the most detailed accounting of the program. But the analyst, then deputy chief of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden unit, knew Khan already had been captured in Pakistan at the time Mohammed was asked about him, according to the 520-page Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA interrogations that was released this past week.

Egypt sends 439 people to military tribunals CAIRO — Egypt’s top prosecutor referred 439 people to military tribunals on Saturday for acts of violence including the killing of three policemen last year, while authorities denied entry to a prominent American scholar arriving at Cairo’s international airport, the latest incidents in the country’s sweeping crackdown on dissent. Security officials said that one group was 139 men he described as Islamists from the southern province of Minya, while another was comprised of 300 from the Nile Delta province of Beheira. The cases involve last year’s wave of violence that came in retaliation to a bloody police dispersal of an Islamist sit-in. Earlier this month, 188 people were sentenced to death on charges of killing 11 policemen. Since the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last year, Egypt has faced international criticism for mass trials with heavy sentences.

New Mexican wire services

A much-anticipated Vatican report on U.S. women’s religious orders, which was ordered under Pope Benedict XVI, will be released Tuesday in Rome — and its contents will be closely watched for any sign of changed relations between the Roman Catholic hierarchy and nuns under Pope Francis. The study is one of two separate Vatican inquiries of American nuns that angered many Catholic sisters, who considered the reviews an attempt to bring them more under the authority of the all-male church leadership. Some sisters would not fill out the study’s questionnaire or participate in on-site interviews. The other investigation, by the Vatican’s guardian of orthodoxy, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was released in 2012. It focused narrowly on the major umbrella organization for sisters, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, and concluded the organization had strayed from church doctrine and had to change. The Vatican appointment of an archbishop as overseer for the Leadership Conference prompted an outpouring of support for the sisters from the American public. Mary Ann Hinsdale, a Boston College theologian and a member of Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, took part in the nationwide review of religious orders, although some in her order refused. The study was announced in 2008 with little explanation. “When this started out it was seen as an imposition and unfair. I still think a lot of people would say that,” Hinsdale said. “But I think we tried to turn it around so that we in fact could tell the real story of who we are.” The inquiry, called an Apostolic Visitation, was initiated by the Vatican office that oversees religious orders and aimed to look at the sisters’ quality of life. Their numbers have dropped from about 180,000 in 1965 to fewer than 50,000 this year, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. Most sisters are elderly, and the national retirement fund meant to support them and members of men’s religious orders has a projected shortfall of several billion dollars. Cardinal Franc Rode, then-head of the Vatican office for religious orders, said in 2009 that the review was not a sign of mistrust. But he said there was concern about “a certain secular mentality that has spread in these religious families and, perhaps, also a certain ‘feminist’ spirit,” Catholic News Service reported. Theological conservatives have long complained that many sisters have become too liberal in their activism and outlook, and failed to follow Catholic teaching on all issues. The questionnaire for the study sought information on topics ranging from finances to how the orders deal with sisters who are disobedient. Mary Ann Zollmann, who was president of the Iowa-based Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary during the inquiry, said some orders took steps under canon law to protect their assets out of fear they could be seized as a result of the review. Zollmann, a co-author of Power of Sisterhood, a book about the investigation, said the head of the Vatican study eventually said orders did not have to provide the financial information after all. Since the review began, Rode has left his post. The new leader of the office, Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz, last year told heads of women’s religious orders a “new attitude” of cooperation and equality was needed between Vatican officials and nuns worldwide. Francis has repeatedly praised the work of religious sisters, but Hinsdale said, “I don’t know what he would think of some of the feminism of some American women religious.” Sister Sharon Holland, president of the Leadership Conference, will be one of the speakers at the Rome news conference where the report will be released. Holland said in a statement that “our expectations” are that the study has yielded an “accurate report of both the blessings of U.S. women’s religious life as well as its challenges.”

ernment until next fall, it made an exception of the Department of Homeland Security. Money for the agency will run out on Feb. 27, when Republicans intend to try and force the president to roll back an immigration policy that removes the threat of deportation from millions of immigrants living in the United States illegally. The legislation locks in spending levels negotiated in recent years between Republicans and Democrats, and includes a number of provisions that reflect the priorities of one party or the other, from the environment to

abortion to the legalization of marijuana. One would repeal a regulation imposed on banks in the wake of the near economic collapse of 2008. Critics called it a bailout for large financial institutions, but more than 70 House Democrats voted for it previously, and Obama made clear he didn’t view it as a deal killer. The pension provision was a bipartisan agreement that opens the door for the first time to benefit cuts for current retirees covered by multi-employer funds in shaky financial condition. Supporters said it would protect retirement income to

the maximum extent possible without also endangering the solvency of the government fund that guarantees multi-employer plans. Critics said it posed a threat to the pension recipients, and that it could also become a precedent for other pensioners. Immigration was at the heart of the day’s events in the Senate. Cruz seized on the issue late Friday night when he tried to challenge the bill. That led swiftly to the unraveling of an informal bipartisan agreement to give the Senate the weekend off, with a vote on final passage of the bill deferred until this week.

Slows: Poor management, vacant positions cited among problems Continued from Page A-1 “It was almost a year after the disaster had already been declared by the governor before I could even get the department to come out and assess the August damage,” Dennis English, San Miguel County’s emergency manager, said in an interview. “Then we had more damage in September.” The county’s experience with the state Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department wasn’t an aberration. Internal reports, emails, audits and interviews with current and former employees reveal an agency rife with dysfunction and overwhelmed by even relatively modest requests for relief. The department is responsible for responding to fires, pandemics and other disasters, as well as keeping tabs on terrorist threats to the state. Former staff members and people from other agencies who have dealt with the department say it has suffered from a chaotic culture and administrative instability since it was founded seven years ago. But the last two years have been particularly bad under former department Secretary Gregory A. Myers and Deputy Secretary Anita Tallarico Statman, these people say. Their assertions are supported by state audits, federal reports, emails and a whistleblower lawsuit depicting personal controversies, questionable financial accounting practices, alleged violations of state procurement regulations and an increasingly demoralized staff. Myers, who became the fourth person to lead the department when he was appointed in October 2011, left the post in late November. Statman resigned Dec. 5. Myers did not respond to requests for an interview prior to leaving. In an interview Friday, Statman defended her two-and-a-half-year tenure at the agency, saying she had tried to make it more professional. “I think people are used to doing what they’ve been doing in any situation,” she said. “I think we all need a little nudge every once in a while. Some people are receptive to that and some are not.” But some former employees say working conditions were unsustainable under Statman, whom many say largely ran the department even while Myers was the titular head, a charge Statman denies. “It has never been stable, but it’s been hellacious in the last two years,” said Paula Flores, a former grants supervisor who left the department in August for a new job with the state. The internal problems impacted more than just the staff, Flores said. “All the pettiness that was going on affected every jurisdiction because the local governments weren’t getting what they needed from the state,” she said. That sense of frustration could be seen in an April 11 letter from San Miguel County Manager Les Montoya to State Auditor Hector Balderas and Myers. At the time, the county still had not received relief funds for the 2013 flooding. Montoya wrote in the letter that department officials had informed him they were “overwhelmed” with the amount of federal grants coming in for disasters across the state. “It was stated they do not possess the manpower necessary to administer these funds in an accountable and timely basis,” he wrote. The delays, he added, “create an unsafe situation for many residents of San Miguel County.” The Governor’s Office defended the agency. “In the last four years, the Department has leveraged resources from across the state and engaged FEMA to ensure recovery projects were done quickly and correctly,” Michael Lonergan, a spokesman for the governor, said in an email Friday. “The Department will continue working with local and federal officials to help in ongoing recovery efforts.” In late November, the governor appointed M. Jay Mitchell, former Angel Fire village manager, as homeland security secretary-designate. A retired Air Force colonel with more than 26 years of military service, Mitchell, who must still be confirmed by the state Senate, said he has been “extremely impressed” by his staff in the short time he’s been with the department but that he is taking a close look at issues impacting the agency. “I have been actively working with senior level staff to identify areas where From left, Matt Tafoya of the Santa Clara Pueblo Forestry Department and pueblo spokesman Edward Calabaza examine flood damage on pueblo land in 2013.

Cinder Road, which runs parallel to the Gallinas River in Las Vegas, N.M., was submerged by floodwaters in September 2013. Gov. Susana Martinez issued disaster declarations for San Miguel County, which should have cleared the way for the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to assess the damage and begin issuing checks for repairs. Nearly a year later, however, San Miguel County was still waiting for its relief funds to arrive. ART TRUJILLO/LAS VEGAS OPTIC FILE PHOTO

we can improve and understand the existing issues with the department, and that’s an on-going process,” he said in an email Friday.

Managing emergencies Lawmakers in 2007 rolled together the Office of Homeland Security and the Emergency Management Division, which had been under the state’s Department of Public Safety. The goal was a department that could coordinate emergency and disaster relief efforts with local, state and federal agencies; manage federal and state disaster funds; provide training to emergency managers and analyze security threats. Most importantly for local governments, the department oversees federal and state disaster money. At any time, the department manages between $30 million and $60 million in federal grants alone, said Erica Cummings, who managed federal grants at the department for years. It has staff on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It wasn’t an easy department to work for, Cummings said. “The demand is high. You have to acclimate to different situations quickly. You have to be on call,” she said. The responsibilities were big for a small department with only 66 staff positions, many of which are unfilled. The turnover rate has been high, and 20 or more positions have been vacant in each of the last two years — a greater than 30 percent vacancy rate, which is about twice the average vacancy rate for state agencies, according to reports filed with the Legislative Finance Committee. Overall, the department had a core of solid, capable staff, Flores, Cummings and other employees said. What it lacked was consistent leadership with good management skills, they said. As the administration began doing things some employees thought were wrong, their frustrations reached a breaking point. “Every agency has personnel issues, but rarely to the extent we had in the last two years,” said Cummings, who resigned in March and took a different state job out of frustration. Both women have 17 years in state government experience and were certified to handle state and federal grants. They were both promoted about the time Myers and Statman took the helm of the department. They thought they would finish out their careers at the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Flores had worked in the department since its inception when she was placed on administrative leave in June in what she believes was retaliation for raising concerns about questionable financial practices. The state Personnel Office later told Homeland Security it either needed to prove a case against her or let her return to work, but Flores already had found another state job by then and decided not to return, she said. She said she agreed to speak to The New Mexican because “I finally reached the sheer frustration point with gross mismanagement. I watched the administration do things where I

thought, ‘On what planet is that legal or acceptable?’ ”

Costly delays Local governments in New Mexico often don’t have the funds to pay the entire cost of fixing public works damaged by fires, floods or other natural disasters. Once the governor or the U.S. president declares a disaster, local governments can apply for grant money made available under the executive disaster orders. After the initial floods in July and August 2013 prompted the governor’s state disaster declaration, English of San Miguel County figured it would take Homeland Security a couple of weeks to send out inspectors to assess the damage. When they didn’t come, he was worried. Then more severe floods hit in September. “They would not let our recovery staff go out there,” said an official still in the department who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. The official said the department was in the midst of personnel conflicts with some key people involved in disaster recovery. “So no one went out to assess the damage,” the official said. Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency inspected damage from the September 2013 floods under a presidential disaster order, but the state field inspectors who normally would have accompanied them weren’t there. San Miguel County spent $87,280 of its own money for repairs. By March 2014, it still hadn’t been reimbursed or received funds to complete repairs, and Montoya sent Myers an angry letter. “The fact this required site visit has not occurred concerns us greatly,” he wrote. “I plead for your assistance in this matter.” He followed up with letters to Balderas and Myers in April. The site visit finally occurred in July 2014, English said. Other county emergency managers expressed similar frustrations with the department. Don Cooper, the longtime emergency manager for San Juan County, said he’s always received financial help from the department when he’s needed it, but the payments have been delayed. He said the problem is that experienced people keep leaving the department. “Some of the leadership has made that worse,” he said. “It’s been difficult for good people to stay.” Santa Clara Pueblo also had problems getting state and federal funds released through the department after fires and floods devastated dams and spillways on pueblo land in 2012 and 2013. A department official confirmed state and federal funds for the pueblo had been delayed longer than they should have been. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. supported a federal measure passed in November 2013 that allowed the pueblo to skip the state altogether and go directly to the federal government for disaster aid and speed up the funding. Disaster funds weren’t the only payments delayed. At least twice in 2014, the department was more than two months late paying off credit cards used by New Mexico’s Urban Search and Rescue team. The team, one of only 28 in the country certified by FEMA, responds to national disasters such as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, helping dig people out of collapsed buildings. The team has to be ready to deploy with 24 hours’ notice and relies on state credit cards to pay for hotel rooms, meals, gas and other expenses. State regulations require credit cards to be paid within 30 days. FEMA put the team on probation in the last year due to the late payments as well as other issues related to training and readiness found in federal audits. Those issues have been resolved, and the team is no longer on probation. For months after Cummings left, positions critical to processing payments and accounting for expenditures

were left unfilled. “They don’t have a person who can draw. They don’t have a person who can do payables. They don’t have a person who can do finance. They don’t have a person who can do procurements or contracts because everyone has left or been fired,” Cummings said. Some of those positions have since been filled. But as of Dec. 1, the department had 22 vacancies, including eight in administrative services, which handles the finances and grant payments, according to the department’s latest organizational report.

Questionable accounting Flores and Cummings, backed by documents from Homeland Security that were obtained through an Inspection of Public Records Act request, say the department tried to use disaster relief money meant for counties to contract private companies to complete jobs outside the scope of the governor’s disaster declaration. It was not the contractors’ fault, said the two former employees. Statman, who came from private industry, preferred hiring private contractors and wanted staff to make that happen, Flores said. The private contractors were used to fill some of the many vacancies in the department’s staff that dated back more than a year. In one case, the department hired the Albuquerque firm Accounting and Consulting Group for business services to resolve problems in prior year financial audits. The company was hired Feb. 27 under a general services agreement for $138,815. Flores questioned the payments. Her new boss, the chief information officer who was made acting director of support services, told her in an email that he was “concerned with your seeming reluctance to accept and follow the chief financial officer’s guidance in matters pertaining to the grant section operations.” He told her she had to cooperate or she would be found insubordinate and could end up getting fired. Flores replied that she was simply trying to make sure the company could be paid properly out of grant money. On May 20, Myers asked the state General Services Department to expand the contractor’s scope of work and double the amount to $305,000. But Myers had only days before been told by the state Department of Finance and Administration that the purchase order under which the contractors was being paid had been closed. State Controller Ricky A. Bejarano told Myers in an email that the purchase order should not have been approved without a professional services contract in place. Bejarano told Myers and Statman again in June that the company couldn’t be paid for services without a contract in place. In another situation, the department tried to pay a contractor incorrectly from funds made available through the governor’s disaster declarations, according to Cummings, Flores and documents obtained from Homeland Security through an information request. The funds are specifically to help communities with temporary shelter, health care, food and transportation, or other actions to protect public health, safety and welfare, and to minimize economic harm. Once the basic emergency is over, the funds are supposed to be closed by the department, and any remaining money is supposed to be returned to the state. URS Group, a Texas company, was hired by the department in April for disaster recovery planning, preparing grants, updating grant spreadsheets and “other duties as assigned.” Homeland Security sought to pay the company $150,000 for services out of a 2012 disaster declaration that was for the Little Bear Fire that burned thousands of acres near Ruidoso and ruined Bonito Lake. The department also sought to pay the company more than $160,000 for

technical services out of the governor’s September 2013 disaster declaration for flooding around the state. It was some of the same money San Miguel County had been asking to access for months to help repair bridges and roads. Statman acknowledged that the department initially tried to use those grant funds to pay the contractors but said she believes that in the end, different funds were used. Apart from how the contractors were paid, state records and current and former agency employees say the department’s insistence on using private contractors rather than filling vacancies was costing the state more money. Contractors with ACG and URS were paid between $66.30 and $222.58 per hour — more than twice what the state would have paid its own employees for the same work. “That’s stuff we should be doing as part of our day-to-day mission,” said one department official, who asked not to be named. Many of the accounting problems identified by Flores and Cummings also were highlighted by FEMA. In February, FEMA told the department about several problems found during a March 2012 site visit to review the grants program, such as not correctly accounting for work hours tied to specific grants. In June, FEMA issued a letter saying all audit findings had been resolved, although Flores and Cummings said they continued to see problems as they were leaving the agency.

Personnel problems In the last two years, the department has faced an investigation by the Department of Labor for alleged violations of the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights law, a whistleblower lawsuit from a demoted employee alleging retaliation and numerous complaints filed by employees with the State Personnel Office. Victor Marquez, a National Guardsman and former security analyst with the department, resigned after he allegedly was harassed and retaliated against by a former human resources manager, the department’s general counsel George Heidke and Statman over how he accounted for his military leave time for National Guard training, among other issues. In a District Court hearing in 2013, Marquez, who had resigned from the department, unsuccessfully sought a restraining order against Heidke. During the hearing, other security analysts testified they also had been harassed or intimidated by Heidke. Some of those employees also filed complaints with the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office and the State Personnel Office. The status of those complaints as of Friday was not known. Marquez’s former boss, Richard Clark, a retired National Guardsman, said he was wrongfully demoted as head of the Intelligence and Security Bureau after he refused Statman’s order to reprimand Marquez. His whistleblower lawsuit, pending before the First District Court in Santa Fe, asks that he be reinstated with back wages after he was allegedly retaliated against by Statman for “providing support and testimony in favor of a National Guard service member.” In his lawsuit, Clark alleges Statman and Myers created such a hostile work environment that Marquez had no choice but to resign. When Clark testified about what happened to a Homeland Security investigator and a federal investigator, he says he was then targeted as well. Clark alleges Statman went so far as to try and persuade federal authorities to pull his security clearance. The department has denied the allegations and says in court documents that Clark’s demotion was due to his “misconduct, poor job performance and other legitimate business purposes.” Statman declined to comment on the case because it is in litigation. In another case, Donald Scott, the department’s Response and Recovery Bureau chief, was suspended in 2012 for reasons that remain unclear. The State Personnel Board overturned his suspension in 2013, and the department was ordered to provide him with back pay. Scott, the state and the department would not comment on why he was suspended. The high turnover rate at the department and the number of vacancies, some now filled by private contractors, point to ongoing problems with finding and retaining staff. Myers seemed to recognize the problems, or at least the potential for political fallout, in a January request to the State Personnel Office, asking that his human resources manager be given a higher classification with more pay to avoid putting the state “at risk for more disgruntled employees, lawsuits, letters to The New Mexican and the Attorney General’s Office.” “Or worse,” Myers added, “a dysfunctional emergency response to a disaster facing New Mexicans that will put the state’s executive leadership front and center in an election year.” Contact Staci Matlock at 986-3055 or smatlock@sfnewmexican.com.

Q & A: ‘The attention you get as a rape victim is not fun, it’s awful’ By Tina Griego The Washington Post

Tina Griego talks with Katie Hnida about why she came forward in 2004 with rape allegations at the University of Colorado, and how she views the discussion about sexual assault at UVA. Question: You say in the story that you never wanted to come forward. How did you did get from that place to where you are now, telling your story to organizations and on campuses, week after week? Answer: The first speech I did was in 2005, and I would do at least

one speech a year. I had to wait until things settled down. I had to get to a place where I wasn’t constantly reliving the trauma. But it was the letters from women. There were so many letters. I had letters that were tripleenveloped and taped up and it made me realize how we just don’t talk about rape. Question: How do you respond when you hear all these stories? Answer: The sheer number of people who talk to me about this and who reach out, even through social media, particularly after I speak, it’s heartbreaking. … Question: You decided to come

forward in 2004, four years after your alleged assault — I’m using the word alleged here because no criminal charges ever resulted and — Answer: No, no, I understand. Everyone says I never reported my rape. I did. It wasn’t right away; most rape victims don’t report right away or at all — particularly in rapes similar to mine, acquaintance rapes. But I did do that before I came forward. I went to the district attorney. I filed a police report. The DA didn’t hold back telling me how hard it would be. The hardest thing to hear was that my rapist would probably never go to jail. That stayed with me, that I would go back to

Colorado for a trial, have all this media scrutiny, go through all this trauma and not have him go to jail. There is a definite fear for your safety knowing that someone who is capable of doing something as horrible as raping you is still out there. Question: You said you couldn’t read the Rolling Stone article right away, but once you did, what kind of questions did you have? Answer: I look at the larger issues of campus rape and violence against women. What are we missing here? What are we doing right? What can we do better? I’m thrilled that we are having a national conversation, but

sometimes I think it’s focused in the wrong area. Question: Such as? Answer: False accusations. Let me pause and say something that is really important to me. I have so many men in my life I am so close to — my dad, my two fantastic brothers. The idea of any of my former teammates being falsely accused kills me. But false accusations are rare — the attention you get as a rape victim is not fun, it’s awful. And even if you lowball the number of rapes, they far outnumber the number of false accusations, which tend to get disproportionate media attention.

Rape: Says society has way to go Continued from Page A-1 someone she knew and trusted. Hnida went on to write a book about her days as a woman playing Division I football and now makes her living as a violence prevention trainer. She speaks nationwide to groups, including campus organizations and college football teams, about her experiences, and she works with organizations dedicated to preventing violence against women. She views the UVA story as another marker of how much has changed — and how much hasn’t — in the effort to alter society’s attitude on rape and its victims. What she sees both sickens and encourages her. “I get a very diverse perspective when I speak on campuses because I usually get brought in by a group that cares a lot about the issue — a women’s center or a resource center. I see all the wonderful work they are doing. But, always, after the speech, I talk to women and even men, recently, who tell me about what it was like for them, and what the university’s response was if they took it that far. … “I can tell you we don’t have a giant problem with women lying about rape in our society. We do have a major problem with women being raped, especially on college campuses. “And we have a long way to go in creating a safe space for survivors to come forward in a

way where they are not going to be immediately attacked. I understand people don’t want to believe this is common, that it might be the boy next door. But most rapists function in everyday life. Very well.” That’s something, she says, she didn’t understand when she started classes at CU in 1999. “I thought a rapist was a stranger, with a weapon, on a dark night when I was someplace I shouldn’t be,” she says. “I had a rape whistle on my key chain. It was two feet away from me during my actual rape and I never thought about it.” Hnida at first told no one what happened. She eventually transferred to UNM to play for the Lobos, went into therapy, had flashbacks on the field and then slowly began to share her story. She went public in an interview with Sports Illustrated in 2004 as the football rape scandal was raging. She’d gone to the Boulder district attorney, only to be told that the odds her alleged assailant would be found guilty and sentenced to prison were remote. She watched the public ridicule of the young women in Boulder from afar, feeling she was partially to blame because she’d remained silent, because “I should have said something.” She has healed a lot, she says, though it’s still not easy for her to talk about. She just finished up eight weeks with 12 speaking engagements, and she told her

story at each one. She likes to speak with her audience close, where she can look at each person, where they can see her. She has developed a sense for who in her audience will come up to her later, some still with a shame that kills Hnida. She always asks the group that invited her to have a rape crisis counselor standing by. Hnida said she did not read Jackie’s story right away. She was afraid it would trigger flashbacks. And she declined to speak directly on the UVA controversy. “I can tell you what it’s like to be a rape victim in this society and in this world, and as a survivor, I always have in mind what it was like when people were talking about me. It’s the worst thing you’ve ever gone through and everyone in the world will decide whether to believe you because of true information or false information. Only 2 to 8 percent of rapes are false accusations. But you are held to a standard that exists in no other crime, the perfect victim with the perfect story. You have to have done things this way, this way, this way. “Before I was raped, I would have never thought that I wouldn’t go straight to the police. I would have thought that would be my first phone call. Until it happened, I had no idea I would respond the way I did. … People are hell bent on black and white with no room for gray, and a lot of things fall into the gray.”

U.N. still struggling to move aid into Syria

An Ebola orphan’s plea: ‘Do you want me?’ and spent more than two weeks in a biohazard area where the only other healthy people were wearing moon suits. As her mother grew sicker, Sweetie Sweetie urged her to take her pills. She tried to feed her. She washed her mother’s soiled clothes, not especially well, but nurses said they were moved by the effort. After all, they think Sweetie Sweetie is only 4. Health care workers did not even know her real name, which is why they called her Sweetie Sweetie. After her mother died, the girl stood outside the clinic, looking around with enormous brown eyes. There was no one to pick her up. She was put on the back of a motorbike and taken to a group home. Social workers are trying to find someone to adopt her, and Sweetie Sweetie seems to know she is up for grabs. On a recent day she asked a visitor: “Do you want me?” Ebola has been wretched for children.

UNICEF estimates outbreak has left 10,000 children without family in W. Africa By Jeffrey Gettleman

By Deb Riechmann

The New York Times

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.N.’s decision in July to begin moving aid into war-torn Syria without the consent of President Bashar Assad was heralded as unprecedented. It was the first time that humanitarian need trumped a nation’s sovereignty. Five months later, aid workers are dismayed that more trucks loaded with U.N. aid aren’t moving into Syria, where civilians are dodging bullets and barrel bombs in the crossfire of a war that has killed 200,000. Despite their disappointment, they still want the U.N. Security Council to renew a resolution that permits the U.N. aid to move through four border crossings — two in Turkey, one in Jordan and one in Iraq — without Assad’s blessing. The U.N. humanitarian office has said that if security allowed, U.N. aid trucked through the four crossings could reach 2.9 million people, complementing the much higher levels of cross-border aid that non-governmental organizations have been moving into the country for years. So far, the number of people who have benefited from aid delivered under terms of the resolution is in the hundreds of thousands, not millions. “While some progress has been made, over 12 million people still urgently need help,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon wrote late last month. “Nearly 5 million of them live in areas that remain hard to reach despite the additional access granted through Resolution 2165, and only a portion are receiving humanitarian assistance.” He said the resolution had enabled U.N. agencies and partners to reach more places where assistance is urgently needed. But “needs continue to rise and the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate.”

PORT LOKO, Sierra Leone — Sweetie Sweetie had no choice. Her father had just died of Ebola. So had her sister. Her mother was vomiting blood and fading fast. When the ambulance arrived and her mother climbed in, Sweetie Sweetie climbed in, too. Ebola had been like a pox on her entire house, and even though the young girl looked fine, with no symptoms, nobody in her village, even relatives, wanted to take her. With nowhere else to go, she followed her mother all the way into the red zone of an Ebola clinic

More than 3,500 have been infected and at least 1,200 have died, U.N. officials estimate. Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, the most-afflicted countries, have shut down schools in an attempt to check the virus, and many young people are being drafted into hard labor by their impoverished parents. Little boys who should be sitting in a classroom are breaking rocks by the side of the road; little girls struggle under enormous loads of bananas on their heads. This was always true to some degree, but social workers say there are more children, especially teens, on the streets than ever before, which could lead to an increase in crime and teen pregnancies. When the schools reopen, there will probably be many vacant seats. But the worst off, by far, are the Ebola orphans. The U.N. Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, says there may be 10,000 of them in the region. Many are stigmatized and shunned by their own communities.

“If there’s an earthquake or a war, and you lose a mother or a father, an aunt will take care of you,” said Roeland Monasch, head of UNICEF’s office in Sierra Leone. “But this is different. These children aren’t being taken in by extended family. This isn’t like the AIDS orphans.” People in hard-hit Ebola areas see children as mini time bombs. They do not wash their hands very often, they constantly touch people and they break all the Ebola rules. Something as simple as changing a diaper becomes a serious risk because the virus is spread through bodily fluids. “Younger children are believed to be more contagious,” Monasch said. Even if that is not true, the stigma remains, and many families have been reluctant to absorb children from Ebolastricken households because of worries that those children might sicken their own.

Continued from Page A-1 addressed tens of thousands of racially diverse marchers at the “Justice for All” rally organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. They vowed to continue protesting until Congress takes action, such as requiring a special prosecutor to investigate controversial police shootings. “We will come here as many times as it takes,” said Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who was killed in Staten Island, N.Y., by an officer who held him in a chokehold as he said, “I can’t breathe.” The arrest was caught on video, and a grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer shocked many across the nation. The Washington march was one of many that took place across the nation four months after the shooting in Ferguson. Under the slogan “National Day of Resistance,” separate rallies were held in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bloomington, Indiana and Lexington, Ky., among other places, part of a groundswell of protests since August. A “Millions March” in New York started big and grew much bigger within hours, from a densely packed crowd in two city blocks to a mass as far as the eye could see in any direction as the march closed on its destination near New York University. The crowd in New York reflected the diversity of the city. “I’ve never seen something so beautiful,” said Josh Toney, an African American man in his 20s. “Seeing the Asian community, seeing union workers, seeing people who probably don’t even speak English.” Like the D.C. march, police declared the New York march peaceful with no arrests. In Boston, however, multiple arrests were made when protesters clashed with police. Carr called the support from other families and from the thousands of demonstrators around the country overwhelming. “I mean, look at the masses. Black, white, all races, all religions. We need to stand like this at all times,” Carr said moments after she was engulfed by a hug from Sabrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin. Her son was shot in the chest in 2012 during a struggled with a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida. A crowd of thousands jammed between Third and Fifth streets NW on Pennsylvania Avenue listened as each speaker thanked them for braving the 45-degree temperature and showing up. “We will get justice for our children, believe that,” said Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was fatally shot by a Cleveland police officer while playing with a toy gun. A video of the shooting showed that the officer shot the child within seconds of arriving at the scene, no questions asked. “I want to thank the nation for supporting us,” Rice said as her voice cracked. “That’s the only way I’m standing today, that I’m standing right now.” The father of another victim, John Crawford III, who was shot dead in a Wal-Mart store by officers in a Dayton, Ohio, suburb, said the same criminal justice system he works for “is the same system I’m receiving injustice from.” Police said they thought a BB gun the younger Crawford carried was lethal. A video of the shooting shows that he was on a cell phone before he was shot. A grand jury decided not to indict the officers who fired the shots. Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, said “it speaks volumes” that the march was so large and diverse. She said those who have died have been immortalized. “It is almost like you don’t need to say any words you can just look out and see all of the people. They shot our sons but they did not die.” Several protesters walked up to Michael Brown Sr. seeking hugs, handshakes or a picture. Brown tried to be accommodating to the many requests, at one point showing a young man how to take a selfie. “This means the world to me, to see everyone coming together for a common cause,” said Brown, whose son was shot and killed by a police officer in August, setting off the latest demonstrations nationwide.

other events — a holiday gift market and Santa’s Village at the Santa Fe Railyard — were also taking place. Some of the most tense moments of the demonstration occurred when the protesters began to stage a “die-in” near the Railyard water tower that interfered with parents and children waiting in line for balloon animals. The scene quickly turned into a nasty shouting match between those in line and those lying on the concrete in poses of death. “They’re ruining Christmas,” one voice said. “Grow up, you’re an adult,” said another. “Don’t let your beautiful children get shot 16 times,” screamed one woman. “Shut up!” bellowed a man as his friends tried to quiet him. “Shut up!” Children standing in the line looked up with wide eyes at the faces of the angry adults around them. “They wouldn’t be saying that if it was their family member that got killed,” said David Martinez, the 19-year-old nephew of Jeanette Anaya. “We’re not against authority, we’re just here to rally for innocent people who have lost their lives for no reason. We can’t let this be happening at all.” Austin Ross, a 20-year-old film student at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, one of the few people in the crowd who appeared to be African American, said the marketgoers had insulted a female friend of his who had participated in the march, telling her that her short skirt was an invitation for rape. “There are a lot of angry people here,” said Ross, who hails from St. Louis and attended protests in Ferguson, Mo., shortly after the death of Michael Brown. “I’m not sure people know why we are here or what we are saying.” After rising from their die-in, the protesters gathered a short distance away and held an open-circle discussion on police brutality and race, which dissolved at times into infighting over who should be allowed to speak and whose

Independent Living

words were more valid. “Rich, white, privileged liberals don’t give a damn about people of color,” shouted a man who appeared to be white. “They care about kittens and puppies and whales.” “And Christmas,” shouted someone else. “It doesn’t matter that you’re black or white,” announced a young, blond man wearing a leather jacket. “We’re all human, and we’re all gathered here together,” he continued, telling everyone that they were “beautiful.” “It’s all just because of a fight with these guys,” he pointed to the police, “about nothing.” “We are all people of color,” said a white man, whose comments drew boos from the crowd. “Let’s be real here,” said a young woman with brown skin. “I want to remind you that police brutality is directed predominantly at black, brown and Native people.” “We all bleed red,” chimed in a paleskinned girl with hair dyed pink, one of the few members of the crowd who had indicated they would be willing to be arrested Saturday. “But whose blood is in the streets?” “Every city in America is Ferguson,” said Darryl Wellington, one of Occupy’s spokespeople for the event and one of the only black men in the crowd. “In every city in this country, there is a part of town where the poor people live. And they are usually black people and brown people. Accept the reality that there is a color line based on economics.” Nearby, holiday shoppers noshed on pork belly sandwiches and perused booths selling silver jewelry and handdyed yarn. Green said demonstrators stayed to discuss the issue of police violence for about two hours after the rally ended, and they closed the event in a circle, holding hands.

NATION & WORLD

Lima climate talks in overtime as nations haggle over deal By Coral Davenport The New York Times

LIMA, Peru — Negotiators from around the globe were haggling into Saturday night over the final elements of a climate change agreement that would, for the first time, commit every nation to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions — yet would still fall far short of what is needed to stave off the dangerous and costly early impacts of global warming. Delegates from nearly 200 countries have been working for two weeks here, in a temporary complex of white tents at the headquarters of the Peruvian

army, to produce the framework of a climate change accord to be signed by world leaders in Paris next year. Though U.N. officials had been scheduled to release the plan Friday at noon, long-standing divisions between rich and poor countries kept them wrangling into Saturday night. At its core, the draft is expected to require every nation to put forward, over the next six months, a detailed domestic policy plan to cut its emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases from coal, gas and oil. Those plans, which would be published on a U.N. website, would form the basis of the accord to be signed next December

and enacted by 2020. That basic structure represents a breakthrough in the impasse that has plagued the United Nations’ 20 years of efforts to create a serious global warming deal. Until now, negotiations had followed a divide put in place by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which required that developed countries act but did not require anything of developing nations, including China and India, two of the largest greenhouse gas polluters. By requiring action from every country, the Lima framework will fundamentally change the old world order that stymied earlier climate change

talks. But on its own, that political breakthrough will not achieve the stated goal of the deal: to slow the rate of global emissions enough to prevent the atmosphere from warming more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit over the pre-industrial average. That is the point at which scientists say the planet will tip into dangerous and irreversible effects, such as melting sea ice, rising sea levels, increased flooding and droughts, food and water shortages, and more extreme storms. Speaking to delegates here Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry said, “We’re still on a course leading to tragedy.”

Given the current level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the fact that the new plans would not be enacted until 2020, most experts say the best that can be hoped for is that the deal would cut emissions by about half as much as is needed to stop the 3.6-degree rise. About 2 a.m. Saturday, hopes were high that a deal would soon be struck, as the Peruvian environmental officials leading the talks here circulated a draft text that included rigorous provisions laying out how countries must put forth their domestic emissions reduction plans. But in a plenary session Saturday afternoon, the old divide of rich and poor emerged as nations fought.

Records on secret spy program released By Ellen Nakashima The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government has released newly declassified documents that lift the veil on a federal court’s 2007 decision to shut down the Bush administration’s program to wiretap the phone calls and emails of suspected al-Qaida members on U.S. soil. Judge Roger Vinson of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court rejected the government’s request to target foreigners through U.S. facilities because it did not meet the probable cause standard required under the surveillance law. The redacted documents, released Friday in response to separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and The New York Times, shed new light on a pivotal moment in U.S. surveillance history — a several-month period in 2007 in which the Bush administration sought to bring its program of warrantless wiretapping under court oversight. Vinson’s April 2007 denial of the government’s request led to passage later that year of the Protect America Act, a temporary law to enable the government to resume interception of suspected terrorists’ communications. A year later, Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act, which expanded the government’s authority to wiretap foreigners through U.S. companies without individualized warrants. Civil liberties advocates lauded the government’s release of the material, but said it should have been released years ago, when the laws were being debated. “We’re seeing these documents seven years too late,” said Mark Jaycox, EFF’s legislative analyst. “The government is yet again late to the game in disclosing records vital to the national discussion and we’re all the worse for it.” The American Civil Liberties Union sought release of the same documents in 2007, but a different surveillance court judge denied the request, saying that even a redacted set of material “may confuse or obscure, rather than illuminate” the decisions. What’s changed since then are the leaks of classified documents by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealing widespread agency surveillance and the government’s and court’s secret legal interpretations justifying it. “That secrecy is one of the reasons government surveillance authority expanded so steadily and dramatically and why Americans were ultimately so shocked when the Snowden material started to appear in the newspapers,” said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director. The Bush administration’s program of warrantless surveillance, code-named StellarWind, was launched in secret after the 2001 terrorist attacks to enable NSA analysts to intercept through U.S. companies the phone calls and emails of suspected al-Qaida members without having to get court permission for each number and email, as required by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. In January 2007, the administration announced that it had placed the program, up to then conducted solely under executive authority, under court supervision. But it did not release details.

Sanderoff: He gets it right D

COMMENTARY: MARTIN HEINRICH

U.S. must never again torture T

orture is wrong. It is un-American, and it doesn’t work. Recognizing this, the president signed an executive order in 2009 that limited interrogations by any American personnel to the guidelines in the Army Field Manual, reinforcing our commitment to the Geneva Conventions. This closed the book on the Bush administration’s interrogation program. But make no mistake. These weren’t just “enhanced interrogations.” This was torture. Releasing the Senate Intelligence Committee’s study of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program to the American people will finally provide a thorough accounting of what happened and how it happened, and ensure that it never, ever happens again. This was a grave chapter in our history. The actions taken under this program cost our Sen. Martin nation global credibility, and Heinrich they put the lives of Americans at risk. Some have suggested that releasing this report could put American lives at risk. But let’s be clear, it has been the use of torture that puts Americans unnecessarily in harm’s way. There is no question that there would never be a “good time” to release this study. We all know that for months now, terrorists in the extremist group Islamic State have been kidnapping and barbarically killing innocent Americans because of what we, as a nation, stand for. The response to their threats and terrorism should not be for us to change our American values. It should be to stand firm in our values and work with our allies to root out extremism and terrorism in all its forms. The release of this study will finally let us face what was done in the name of the American people, and allow for future generations to use these findings to learn from the mistakes made by the architects of this program. This is an objective and fact-based study. It is a fair study. And it is the only comprehensive study conducted of this program and the CIA’s treatment of its detainees in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Furthermore, it is important to know that at every turn, CIA leadership avoided congressional oversight, and even worse, misled Congress. The CIA deliberately kept the vast majority of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees in the dark on the interrogation techniques until the day the president revealed the detention and interrogation program to the world in 2006 — four years after it began. Even then, misrepresentations to the committee about the effectiveness of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program continued, in large part because the CIA had never performed any comprehensive review of the effectiveness of the interrogation techniques or the actions of its officers. However, we need to stop treating the issue of torture as one worthy of a discussion over its practical merits. This is about torture being immoral. Being un-American. Reducing a human being to a state of despair through systematic subjugation, pain and humiliation is unquestionably immoral. And it should never happen again with the blessing of the American government. The information in the Intelligence Committee’s study released to the public will finally pull back the curtain on the terrible judgment that went into creating and implementing this interrogation program. The decision to use these techniques and the defense of the program were the work of a small number of people at the CIA. This study is in no way a condemnation of the thousands of men and women at this great agency who work tirelessly every day to protect and defend our nation from very real and imminent threats using lawful and effective measures. The public interest in this issue has centered on the personalities involved and the political battle waged in the release of this study. But those stories are reductive, and I hope they will soon pass. Because the story of what happened in the CIA’s detention and interrogation program — and how it happened — is too important, and needs to be fully understood so that future generations will not make the same mistakes our country made out of anger, fear and expediency. When America engages in these acts with authorization from the highest levels of government, we invite others to treat our citizens the same way. This study should serve as a warning to those who would make similar choices in the future. Let us learn from the mistakes of the past — and let us never, ever repeat these mistakes. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, a New Mexico Democrat, is a member of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and has been a leading proponent of declassifying the report.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cyclist applauds bike safety initiative

M

ajor applause to Mayor Javier Gonzales (“A green option for bike safety,” Dec. 8) for his initiative of improving bicycle facilities and safety in Santa Fe. The Metropolitan Planning Organization has been making huge strides in trails and connectivity, and having more direct city support can only help. As a daily year-round bicycle commuter and recreational rider, might I also suggest that as part of this city initiative, a regular free training for cyclists on rules of the road and how to coexist with other modes be instituted? Too often, cyclists are our own worst enemy with unpredictable “kamikaze” riding techniques (running lights, riding on the wrong side, frightening pedestrians, etc.) that only engender hostile attitudes on the part of other users of the streets. One gets respect in part by giving it. William Hutchinson

Santa Fe

Showing respect New York Times columnist Timothy Egan (“President deserves respect,” Dec. 7) details the systemic contempt of Republican politicians for our black and anti-conservative president. One of Egan’s examples is Newt Gingrich, who proposed to explain President Barack Obama by his “Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior.” Gingrich, as House majority leader 20 years ago, was outspokenly contemptuous and sometimes viciously funny about President Bill Clinton and Democratic politics. I wrote my congressman at that time, “If God is love, the Devil is hate and Gingrich is diabolical.” True to form, this year Gingrich said, “If you’re a conservative, you think Barack Obama is literally destroying the country you love.” With Republican leaders like this, no wonder we have “a caveman Congress.” The new House of Representatives will probably impeach Obama. Republicans know that Senate Democrats will block the required two-thirds Senate vote for his removal, but the Republican House will try, because it is consumed with disrespect for the president. Richard Frost

Biased columnist Readers should be advised to disregard Stephen T. Parente’s “Chicken Little” warnings about the Affordable Health Care Act (“Understanding health care premiums,” Dec. 9) as he is a GOP partisan whose critiques are full of half-truths and distortions. In his bio, he omits his affiliation with the conservative American Enterprise Institute, which sponsors his columns in newspapers across the country. He was an adviser to the McCain 2008 campaign and gave $3,000 to the GOP in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. As for his dire prediction of premium spikes in 2017, reputable experts point out that because government regulations setting the risk corridors to shield insurers from unexpectedly high health spending were only issued very late, insurers who

needed to move forward and set their premium rates could not take the risk of low-balling their premiums. Since they have not done so, rates are therefore unlikely to spike later, contrary to Parente’s unsupported assertions. Robert Burk

Body cameras work The massive public reaction to the tragic deaths of three black teens at the hand of white police officers has led to a national call for use of body cameras to record and prevent any future mistreatment of suspects. There is ample precedent. Animal protection activists have used body cameras to document egregious atrocities and safety violations by workers in the meat, dairy and egg industries. The resulting videos have led to a number of corrective actions, as well as felony convictions, meat recalls and even a $500 million civil settlement. How ironic then that agribusiness interests in seven states (Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and Utah) have now enacted “ag-gag” laws. These laws impose severe penalties for using body cameras in their agricultural facilities. The language is typically drafted by the anti-consumer American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Let’s hope that other vested interests do not impose similar restrictions on the use of body cameras by law enforcement officers. Sam Lostus

Pipeline concerns The Keystone XL Pipeline has generated lots of political excitement but not a lot of factual information. Construction will result in 3,000 to 5,000 jobs for about two years. After that time, approximately 50 jobs will be required for operation of the pipeline. Claims of creating more than than 100,000 jobs are based on speculative assumptions by a firm that has been discredited because of conflict of interest. It is claimed that the pipeline will give us a secure source of future oil supplies from Canada, but most of the heavy, sour tar sand oil will be delivered to refineries on the Gulf Coast located in a Foreign Trade Zone, where the refined products must be exported and not used in the U.S. in return for special tax treatment. Keystone XL will be located over the Ogallala Aquifer, which is extremely important as a source of domestic and agricultural water. The present proposal would exempt the pipeline from damages from spills — and transfer the cost to taxpayers. Charles P. Milner

uring the election, I’d routinely report on the latest poll numbers and post links to those stories and blog posts on my Facebook page. And, as anyone who followed the election is keenly aware, the news was almost always bad for Democrat Gary King whenever there was a new poll. And sometimes there would be push back from King supporters over the polls. The gist of the argument was that the media (that is, me) was either being manipulated by or in cahoots with the Martinez campaign. It was just another way the evil Republicans were trying to discourage Democrats and suppress voter turnout. This, such skeptics argued, was especially true in the case of the Albuquerque Journal’s polls, performed by Brian Sanderoff’s Research & Polling Inc. The Journal, Steve Terrell which indeed has a Roundhouse pretty clear conservaRoundup tive bias on its editorial page, was cooking the poll numbers to help Susana! Or so the argument went. Usually on my Facebook page, I just let these political arguments play out without my active participation. And believe me, I don’t consider it my duty to defend the Albuquerque Journal. But I’ve got a lot of respect for Sanderoff, who has been the demographics and polling game for many decades. I often use him as a source when I write about polling or state political attitudes and other such matters. I happen to know that the guy really sweats over being accurate. And not only is he almost always darn close to the actual results, I truly believe he’s nobody’s stooge. So at least once during the course of the campaign, I felt compelled to defend him on my Facebook page. And now I’ve got some numbers to back it up. Sanderoff last week sent an analysis of his final election poll to the actual election results. And once again, he was pretty much on the money. In the governor’s race, Sanderoff’s last poll showed Martinez ahead of King by 53 percent to 38 percent. That’s a difference of 15 percentage points. Nine percent, in that poll, were undecided. But in the only poll that really counts, Martinez received 57.22 percent to King’s 42.78 percent, a different of about 14.4 percent. Sanderoff’s poll was pretty close to the actual election results in other state races as well. He had Republican Aubrey Dunn winning by one percentage point over incumbent state Land Commissioner Ray Powell. On Election Day, the margin was even closer — 0.1 percentage points, mandating a recount. Sanderoff had Secretary of State Dianna Duran tied with challenger Maggie Toulouse Oliver (with 16 percent undecided). Duran won by just over 3 percent. In the attorney general’s race, he had Democrat Hector Balderas up by 16 percentage points over Republican Susan Riedel. Balderas won by 16.5 percent. The race in which Sanderoff was furthest off was the U.S. Senate race. His poll showed Democratic incumbent Tom Udall beating Republican Allen Weh by seven percentage points. Udall actually won by just over 11 percentage points. I guess someone could argue that Martinez, the Journal and Sanderoff were successful in their plot to keep the turnout low, and that’s why the poll results were were so close to the election outcomes. What can you say? If that’s true, he’s got it down to an exact science. The prodigal journalist: I was sad a couple of weeks ago when my longtime Roundhouse office-mate Rob Nikowlewski was leaving his job with the New Mexico Watchdog blog to become a press spokesman for the state Environment Department. But I wasn’t sad for long. Only four days into his new gig, Nikolewski decided that flacking wasn’t for him. “The folks at NMED are awesome and they treated me terrifically but after only a few days, I realized that reporting, not public relations, is what I’m all about so I’ve resigned from the post,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “I’m a reporter and a writer through and through. I’m the guy wanting to ask the questions,” he said. “It’s in my blood. It’s who I am and who I want to be.” So he’s back at his old desk in the Capitol newsroom. But he’s got a new gig. The Watchdog took him back, but gave him a new position as national energy reporter. Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnewmexican.com.

WIPP accident shines light on operations

T

he repercussions of an accident at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant last February continue to reverberate. First the accident, a ruptured drum containing wastes packed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, resulting in a radiation leak that exposed more than 20 workers to contamination on Feb. 14, 2014. WIPP remains on indefinite shutdown as the cause of the accident is investigated. The U.S. Department of Energy is estimating that full resumption of activities at WIPP — the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository, located in Carlsbad — could be as much as five years away. Already, an Energy Department report is faulting LANL for failing to follow its own internal safety procedures and mixing volatile ingredients in the WIPP shipments. Now, the state of New Mexico is levying $54 million in penalties against the federal agency and its private contractors. There are 24 violations and fines of $36.6 million for LANL, while WIPP received 13 violations and $17.7 million in fines. The investigation is not over, so more fines and civil penalties could lie ahead. Repairs to WIPP are estimated to cost some $550 million before it can reopen. Most troubling of all, as reports by The New Mexican’s Patrick Malone and Staci Matlock reveal, is that safety procedures were not followed before the accident. LANL has been less than forthcoming after the accident. U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, a staunch supporter of LANL’s mission, has even raised the possibility that the contract to run the nuclear laboratory should be up for discussion. A consortium of Bechtel National Inc., Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, URS Energy and Construction Corp. and the University of California — known as Los Alamos National Security LLC — currently runs the lab under a contract through 2018. The annual contract is worth $2.2 billion. That’s too much money for shoddy safety procedures. For the state penalties to hurt — and they should — it’s essential that payments should not come out of taxpayers’ pockets. It also would be helpful if, rather than stall for time, the fines are paid. The New Mexico Environment Department, rightly, does not want the payments to come from funds set aside for environmental cleanup. While fines are necessary, the guardians watching over LANL, WIPP and nuclear waste must increase scrutiny of operations. It’s clear from reports and from email evidence gathered by our reporters that some waste headed to WIPP was not packed correctly. Shortcuts were taken. Even the state Environment Department, so judgmental after the fact, did not catch the problems as they were happening. It fell short in its own oversight responsibilities. Nuclear waste cannot sit, packed in drums dotting the hills around Los Alamos. It does need to be cleared from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Underground storage is necessary. But the process cannot become slipshod, with contractors worried more about profit goals instead of safety standards. There’s a bright side to the accident at WIPP. It has opened a window to reveal some of what actually is taking place at Los Alamos National Laboratory as waste is shipped to underground storage. Citizens, Congress, the Department of Energy and others can take what we now know — that safety does not always come first — and demand better standards in the future. If not, then Congress must make changes in how the lab is run. The contract runs through 2018, which offers plenty of time to cut the profiteers loose. The time for close scrutiny is now. Too much, both in dollars and safety, remains at stake.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican Dec. 14, 1964: Ruidoso — Lloyd Fitzpatrick, owner of the Hoyle mansion in White Oaks, reportedly has offered the mansion to Paul Slone of El Paso, an associate of Billie Sol Estes. The mansion, which Fitzpatrick has operated as a museum for the last two years, is being considered as a tourist attraction. Albuquerque — Enrollment of persons 65 and older will be accepted on a year-round basis by New Mexico Blue Cross and New Mexico Blue Shield effective Feb. 1. The action was taken in meetings by the two groups in Albuquerque Saturday. Enrollment of persons in this age group previously was accepted during one 30-day period each year. Dec. 14, 1989: About 100 mentally retarded people and their supporters jammed a legislative hearing Tuesday to protest a state agency’s failure to seek enough money to treat 525 retarded people who don’t currently receive professional care. The state Health and Environment Department is asking for an increase of only $500,000 in its programs to treat the mentally retarded. That amount will treat only another 83 patients, while 525 are on waiting lists at 31 programs in communities across the state. The $500,000 is not going to be nearly enough.

So, wisely, the committee’s big point was useless/counterproductive. “It’s wrong enough that one shouldn’t do it period. But wrong and useless is a tough combination,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. He was on the Intelligence Committee when the report was being prepared and now leads a Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism. And why the private contractors? Maybe because the actual government interrogators didn’t believe torture worked, either. Some complained that, after Mitchell and Jessen arrived, reasonably cooperative prisoners were suddenly brutalized under the theory that the original approach had been too “sissified.” What made the CIA decide that these guys were a good plan? Have they not watched Homeland this season? (Ever since Saul left the CIA to become a private consultant, he’s been a disaster.) “I do think there’s something about the culture of purchase: ‘We don’t have the answer, but we can buy it,’ ” said Baher Azmy, the legal director at the Center for Constitutional Rights. Naturally, defenders of the CIA are rising up to challenge the report’s findings. The Associated Press got hold of James Mitchell himself, who said the report was “just factually, demonstrably incorrect,” then declined to say exactly what the inaccuracies were. Citing a secrecy agreement with the CIA, Mitchell didn’t share much else, except that being waterboarded was still better than being killed by a drone.

COMMENTARY: WALTER PINCUS

Can we heed the lessons of history?

E

ver so often it’s worthwhile to listen to a voice from the past, especially when the words are still relevant and belong to a former government official discussing hard lessons. “Once we had committed our own manpower and our own blood and so on, we were into a quagmire there that was not only expensive in terms of human life but expensive in terms of U.S. prestige.” Former CIA director Richard Helms was talking about Vietnam in a declassified oral-history interview as part of a CIA historical series in April 1983. Think Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria today as Helms, who, asked to discuss lessons from Vietnam, responded with a rhetorical question: When the Saigon government sought help from Washington, “did we help in the best possible way to achieve the objectives we had in mind?” In 1961, President John F. Kennedy sent trainers to assist the Saigon government in meeting a large-scale insurgency of South Vietnamese communist guerrillas who had support from North Vietnam, China and the Soviet Union. The White House began with 400 Green Berets to train the South Vietnamese military in counterinsurgency. But it wasn’t working even by 1963, when the U.S. presence had grown to 16,000 trainers along with tens of millions of dollars for a nation-building program. In August 1964, after an alleged attack on U.S. destroyers by North Vietnamese gunboats, Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which gave President Lyndon B. Johnson authority “to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to pre-

vent any further aggression.” Sen. J. William Fulbright, D-Ark., then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told me later that he agreed to manage Senate approval of what was essentially a war resolution. He did it, he said, after Johnson promised that he would only need up to 125,000 U.S. troops and that they would stop the North Vietnamese. The Senate passed the measure with only two opposing votes, and the House approved it unanimously. Ultimately, the U.S. troop level rose to more than 525,000, when in 1969, newly elected President Richard M. Nixon announced plans to gradually withdraw combat forces. The Vietnamese would have to take over the fighting. Sound familiar? By the time the United States left Saigon in 1975 as North Vietnamese troops entered the city, some 58,000 U.S. service personnel had been lost and more than $1 trillion had been spent. Looking back, Helms said, “If the United States had supported a Vietnamese solution … from the first day” — meaning left its efforts at training Vietnamese — “there might have been a better outcome.” He said the introduction of U.S. troops resulted in the North Vietnamese sending larger numbers of their own soldiers south. They were “well trained, ready to fight, fighting on their own ground, the kind of war that we had never understood and were quite unable to fight, where great fire power and so forth was of almost no relevance.” That also should sound familiar — and what President Barack Obama appears to be trying to avoid — in Iraq,

Afghanistan and Syria. To those who are calling for the use of minimal U.S. combat forces in Iraq and Syria, I say look at history. Also, what’s your Plan B? Helms discussed how Americans did not understand the Vietnamese. “The intrusion of a lot of Westerners” in such a society “even though they knew we were trying to help them … should start from the premise that we really don’t understand them very well,” he said. Helms tried to get courses on Asian culture and languages set up at the CIA, but they died because managers would not send their officers, arguing that either they did not have time or that the people in those countries spoke English. How many Americans going into Afghanistan and Iraq knew anything about the countries they were helping? Helms recalled visiting the U.S. Embassy in Kabul in the early 1970s. If he were a Foreign Service officer “starting out these days, I would become an expert in Islam,” he said. “You’ve got to understand Islam and all its manifestations. It not only cuts a wider spectrum, it’s a belt right around the world, and these fellows are starting to get money now.” The United States has paid a heavy price for not understanding Helms’ postVietnam lessons, when in 2003 the Bush administration sent tens of thousands of troops into Iraq. Obama, however, appears to have learned them. Let’s hope he continues to stick to just helping Iraqis and Syrians win their own internal battles without U.S. ground troops getting involved in another military quagmire.

In doing so he condones the fact that even under cease-and-desist orders in other cities, Uber (and Lyft) continue to arrogantly operate and expand while their highpowered lobbyists attempt to influence elected officials.

This is a very large transportation enterprise and as such, must be subject to regulation. Regulation is the only way to address serious issues about these companies’ operating principles. Legal taxicab companies are subject to regulation and oversight, must pay license fees, support a physical location, a fleet of vehicles, vehicle maintenance facilities and employees. Uber and Lyft do not operate on a level playing field, and if, as a result of this unfair competition our local, regulated cab companies go under, they stand to profit. Uber and Lyft have no moral or ethical connection to any community. They are global techies who go anywhere to profit from their technical genius and deep pockets, no matter who suffers. Sadly, because of an abundance of underemployed people, Uber and Lyft can seize opportunities to capitalize on misfortune. Unfortunately, these potential drivers may not recognize the cost to their community or risk to themselves. Many issues must be resolved in favor of our city before welcoming these companies: Questions of regulation, licensing, insurance, taxation, security, driver sobriety, liability, and recourse for drivers and passengers against a tech company registered in Delaware with no local, physical location. And if Uber or Lyft is allowed to operate unregulated, should our local cab company then be relieved of regulation, licensing fees and taxes? This is a slippery slope, and Santa Fe needs to gain some traction before it’s too late. Santa Fe probably does need cab competition, but let it come from a legitimate, licensed and regulated, fully insured cab company with a brick and mortar presence, not a tech firm doing its best to avoid responsibility and liability through technical maneuvers while quietly thumbing its nose at regulatory authority. The bigger picture is that tech firms such as Uber and Lyft, in an amoral disconnect from communities and local, regulated services, create financial opportunities through deceptive semantics and legal loopholes to avoid the expenses normally required to establish a legitimate, locally based business. Local governments would be wise to get a handle on this cyber mentality. Santa Fe can do better than to be duped by this type of nebulous enterprise. The Public Regulation Commission should prevail in compelling Uber, Lyft and other similar enterprise to be under their authority before being welcomed into our community. There is no sound reason why these companies should receive special privileges. They bring no promise of significant job creation or tax benefits to Santa Fe. As for the state police, which says it is impossible to stop operations in Albuquerque due to a lack of manpower, I suggest it downloads the app, call for rides and present the drivers with citations until the company applies to the PRC, meets the requirements and begins operating within the law.

ommissioner Patrick Lyons has advocated a switch from electing Public Regulation Commissioners to having members appointed by the governor. He is not the first to point out problems inherent in having an elected regulatory commission. Over the years, a number of different methods have been used in New Mexico to choose members of the PRC and its predecessor agencies. Before the creation of the PRC, the governor chose the three members of the Public Utility Commission, while members of the State Corporation Commission were elected statewide, and also served as members of the State Insurance Board. Other states use a variety of methods to select their regulatory boards. Some appoint their members, some elect, but almost all have specific requirements for applicants, and most states that appoint their members have methods that insure that more than one person has input into the process. Getting qualified commissioners is a major problem. Recent changes in the law require that candidates who run for the PRC meet certain minimum qualifications, but no one is responsible for checking the candidates’ sworn statements that they are indeed qualified. Commissioner Lyons wants to seek legislative support for a constitutional amendment to convert the PRC to a panel appointed by the governor, but this may prove difficult. This was the original recommendation for selecting members when the PRC was first proposed; while the legislators supported the creation of the PRC, they substituted an elected board for an appointed one when they drafted the required constitutional amendment. More recently, when Think New Mexico studied the PRC, the think tank aimed to suggest changes that would be acceptable to the Legislature; the constitutional amendments that Think New Mexico recommended did not suggest changing from elected to appointed officials, but required only that candidates

have some minimal qualifications. These amendments were approved by the voters in 2012. The twoNeva Van year study Peski of the PRC conducted by the League of Women Voters in 2011-13 suggests a way of selecting PRC commissioners that avoids the problems associated with having an elected commission and also guarantees a thorough review of candidates’ qualifications. It is modeled after the successful process that South Carolina uses to select members of its Public Service Commission. In this process, a committee appointed by the Legislature evaluates candidates on the basis of six qualities — experience, temperament, knowledge of and compliance with legal and ethical constraints, aptitude for leadership and/ or service on the commission, integrity and knowledge of the operations of the commission. For each of these qualities, candidates are judged to be outstanding, appropriate, above average, or adequate, and are then given a numerical score between 0 and 100 based on the overall evaluation. The evaluation scores are made public, and the final selection from among the candidates is made by the Legislature. This method helps ensure that the candidates are qualified and that those qualifications are made known to the public. It also includes more than one person in selecting candidates, allowing a variety of different philosophical and political viewpoints about the duties and mission of the Commission to be heard. If the people of New Mexico wish to change the way commissioners are chosen, they would do well to consider this model. Neva Van Peski of Santa Fe served on the League of Women Voters committee that studied the PRC. However, views expressed here are her own, not those of the league.

Immigration order will help the deserving P resident Barack Obama’s immigration policy (“End birthright citizenship,” Commentary: Reihan Salam, Nov. 30) will be truly helpful to those who deserve to be considered. They are people who come into this country seeking an opportunity to develop their lives and those of their family members. They are people who are considered to be educationally challenged. They commonly do not read and write in their own language. Thus, they are considered to be functionally illiterate. They are not properly documented to be in this country. So they work in the shadows, hoping they are not found, yet they risk their confidentiality because they trust us. Most are Mexican nationals and farm workers. Their wages are very low. Yet they are proud and humble, and they will give you the food of their table because that is all they have to give. They place food on our tables, yet they do not earn enough money to feed their own families. They take on the jobs we

do not want because we are too proud, or the wages are too low, or our status quo is too important to be seen doing mediocre work. Yet we complain they are taking away our jobs. They Ross work hard for their Griego earnings, sometimes working two or three jobs at a time just to ensure they can pay their bills and feed their families. They risk their lives and their family’s lives just to have a little part of what we call the American dream. So they leave their country and, sometimes, their family behind with the hopes they can build a better life in the greatest nation that has ever existed. They have dreams just like you and I to own a home, live in a good neighborhood, send their children to college, and desire the same things for their family. We refer to them as “illegals.” Without people like Obama, who

has the power, the compassion, the courage and conviction to do the right thing, who will be there for them? Constantly I hear the comments that the undocumented are parasites of our government social services programs. The facts are: u Immigrants are 30 percent more likely to start a business in the United States than non-immigrants. u Immigrant-owned businesses create jobs for American workers. Immigrants employed 4.7 million people in 2007 and generated more than $776 billion annually. u Immigrants are also more likely to create their own jobs. u Immigrants have started 25 percent of public U.S. companies that were backed by venture capital investors. u Immigrants are our engineers, scientists and innovators. u Increased immigration to the United States has increased the earnings of Americans with more than a high school degree. u The purchasing power of Latinos

and Asians, many of whom are immigrants, alone will reach $1.5 trillion and $775 billion, respectively, by 2015. u Immigration reform legislation like the Dream Act reduces the deficit. u Comprehensive immigration reform would create jobs. u Comprehensive immigration reform would increase America’s GDP. President Obama said at a naturalization ceremony, held at the White House: “The lesson of these 236 years is clear: Immigration makes America stronger. Immigration makes us more prosperous” (Source: The White House Blog, Nov. 21).

Much has transpired in the years since the Southwest Region of the National Park Service was abolished in 1995, victim to a reorganization that reduced the number of its field regions from 10 to six, despite assurances at the time from the Park Service director that the Southwest Region would not be affected. As a result, its 40 cultural parks were merged with those of a northern region to form a new region, and our local office closed, resulting in the loss of several hundred employees. It has only been in recent years that

the absurdity of the reorganization and its effect on our community has come to light. Our efforts to bring recognition of these effects have not been successful beyond Santa Fe. Here, our City Council in early 2011 approved a resolution urging the restoration of the Southwest Region and its local office. In recent weeks, articles in this newspaper have called for the conversion of the former regional office building to some type of historic site or museum. While this may be worth some consideration, it ignores the larger effort to restore the building to

its former function as a Regional Office by restoring the Southwest Region to its position as the most historic region in the National Park Service. Some local observers of these efforts have opposed the restoration of the region and its regional office because of its cost and its effect on the federal budget. This is not the case. For one, should the local regional office be restored and staffed, most of the new workforce will come from other offices and already funded. Those funds will simply be reassigned to Santa Fe. The only foreseeable cost for the government would involve employee change-of-station costs that will vary according to the distance of the employee transfers.

my Goodman and Max Blumenthal assaulted Santa Feans with another dose of anti-Israel invective at a Lannan Foundation-sponsored program at the Lensic Performing Arts Center earlier this fall. Goodman’s introduction began with her description of the Israeli “assault” on Gaza. She noted the high numbers of Palestinians killed as opposed to the relatively few Jews. There are good reasons for this. Israel goes to great lengths to protect her citizens while Hamas deliberately puts Gazans in harm’s way. She attributed the worst “atrocities” to the Israelis with no mention of the events leading up to this assault — the many weeks when hundreds of rockets were fired by Hamas into Israel, aimed at her cities. And no mention of Hamas’s cruel and callous treatment of their own people in Gaza. How should Israel be expected to respond? Any country in the world would respond accordingly. Max Blumenthal is a leftwing Jewish intellectual, whose Birthright Israel trip awakened in him sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians. That is not unreasonable. But to arrive at a position where absolutely everything that happened to them is the fault of the Israelis, and nothing whatsoever is the responsibility of their leaders and other Arab states, is simply untrue, unfair and absurd. I suspect that when Blumenthal went into the West Bank and Gaza , he was appropriated by radical Palestinians like Hamas, who poured their hateful propaganda down his throat. This is what he is now spewing back at us. Some of his accusations could have come straight from a Hamas Handbook. For him, the dozens of tunnels into Israel are no problem, simply part of the “resistance.” Noticeably absent from his tirade against Israel were any acts of terror on the part of Hamas, which was hardly mentioned. The icing on the cake of his talk was calling “Israel and ISIS two sides of the same coin.” The biased and totally unbalanced reporting of Amy Goodman and Max Blumenthal goes way beyond their purported goal of helping Palestinians. It is dangerous. It endangers Israel and Jewish people everywhere. This is the second year in a row in which the Lannan Foundation has presented such an anti-Israel program. In February of 2013, when Goodman introduced Omar Barghouti, he delivered a non-stop vilification of Israel. Lannan would do well to present another program with a more balanced approach, with room for a pro-Israel point of view, on this important issue.

Park Service in fiscal year 2013 was $2.6 billion. Whatever the costs to restore the Southwest Region, they will pale in comparison. In the end, it is worth noting that the financial benefits to Santa Fe and New Mexico will be substantial, considering the salaries of the new management staff who will be purchasing homes in the area. Added to that would be the several millions of dollars the restored regional office will spend on its business in Santa Fe. In these days when politicians call for bringing jobs to New Mexico, the restoration of the Southwest Region and its Regional Office is a ready-made solution that will benefit the city and state.

he majority of Scotland’s citizens (55 percent) voted down the Independence movement’s referendum for Scotland to be a separate nation from the United Kingdom in September. For independence supporters in that storied land and elsewhere, the final vote is a huge disappointment. The burden for independence was, admittedly, with Alex Salmond’s Independence Party. It appears they could not prove to a majority of skittish voters that a break with the U.K. and the European Union was economically the way to go for the nation. A Scottish visitor told me after the historic vote that, “It makes much more sense to stay with England. It’s better for our business.” But a nation’s break for independence is not only to be defined with business profits. These are needed — but a nation’s character is made of more than this: its spirit, heart, collective consciousness, unique customs — and what the Finnish call sisu, or guts. The Scottish people have all of this. The Independence Party was fighting for that heart and spirit. Scotland, of course, is so different from its neighbor to the south: its sweeping often tragic history, kings and queens, languages (Scots/Gaelic), cuisine,

crown jewels and royal seat, music, the clans, bleak, magnificent landscape — even the way Scots think with their John stubborn Lorenzen independent streak (more than a touch of our 1776). An energy can be felt when a country wants to break free: For Scots their change for freedom, whenever it occurs — 10 or a 1,000 years from now — will be accompanied by heather-scented winds sweeping across the moors, the tang of a 100 whiskies, of oil rigs churning away on stormy North Seas, the rich brogues heard on a thousand damp alleyways, the swirl of dozens of kilts in the breeze-a thousand different ways that knit together their culture, their history. These things are all worth independence. Scotland is a unique land and people and deserve to be sovereign and free. It just appears the majority don’t want it — yet. The rose-scented English cottage has trumped the wind-swept Gaelic moors for now. One online reviewer of the vote said, “When a nation doesn’t want independence, they are no longer a nation.” Or

perhaps they are hibernating as a nation. Though a disappointment for the Independence Party, 45 percent is a good start. It is hoped that another generation of Scots will vote “yes,” reversing the results of the recent elections. Scotland might yet become an independent nation to join the world of nations. And what William Wallace fought and died for will be a reality. John Lorenzen works in the tourism industry in Santa Fe. He has also been a teacher, environmental educator and has followed Scottish independence issues for some time.

Local agencies prepare to expand use of lapel cams Studies: Cameras protect officers against false claims and cut down on use of force By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Two fatal encounters between white police officers and unarmed black men this year in New York City and Ferguson, Mo., have prompted renewed calls for law enforcement officers to wear body cameras to record their interactions with the public.

President Barack Obama has recently proposed spending $75 million over three years to help law enforcement agencies purchase 50,000 body cameras. Lapel cams are already in use in Santa Fe by sheriff’s deputies and police motorcycle and bike officers. City and state police also are testing various models. Agencies in New Mexico say

they plan to apply for federal grants to buy the cameras once they become available. Law enforcement officers, lawyers and even civil liberties groups say the technology can be a tool for holding officers accountable, while also stopping frivolous claims of abuse against them. Bradley Nickell, a Las Vegas, Nev., police detective who writes for national law enforcement publications, such as American Cop and POLICE, said, “In the long run, body cameras are actu-

ally going to expose actual misconduct. But the greatest thing we’re going to see out of officers wearing body cameras, is that we’re going to get the veil pulled back and we’re going to be able to show the public that there’s an awful lot of false claims about police misconduct out there.” He warned, however, that the cameras are not going to “cure all the perceived ills that the public may have about policing and

When the Internet-based ride-sharing service Uber announced last month it was coming to Santa Fe, Mayor Javier Gonzales welcomed the company with open arms and became the first person to use the service in the city. His driver, Rebecca Reynolds, rolled up to City Hall in her fourdoor 2008 Honda Accord and drove Gonzales to the Plaza news conference to make the announcement. Reynolds, however, hadn’t obtained a business license — and still didn’t have one as of Friday Rebecca afternoon.

rading posts once dotted the western stretches of Route 66. A favored stop for travelers, the kitschy shops offered everything from gasoline and curios to Native American crafts, fudge, toy guns, and bows and arrows. One of the oldest along the route was at Santo Domingo Pueblo. The shops largely disappeared over the years as superhighways diverted traffic away from the historic route. The trading post at Santo Domingo, also called Kewa Pueblo, closed in the 1990s, and then a fire engulfed the empty building 14 years ago. The building’s ruins sat vacant for nearly a decade following the blaze in 2001. For the past five years, however, there have been efforts to revive it. Kewa Pueblo officials have worked with laborers and Santa Fe consultants to rebuild the historic trading post, adjacent to the Rail Runner Express stop.

Its donation is going to an 84-yearold woman who doesn’t have enough money to buy all the food she needs, Stimson said. Kristina Alley, a partner at Santa Fe Advisors, a local investment firm, said her company donated an unspecified amount of money to the Empty Stocking Fund on behalf of the firm’s clients. “I think we’re all part of the community and we need to sup-

port each other,” Alley said. Dede Collins and her husband, Dennis Copper, have donated between $100 and $250 annually to the Empty Stocking Fund over the past eight years. They have lived in Santa Fe since 1968, and said they feel they should give back to the community because in their lifetimes, they have “always been lucky” in having jobs. Collins said she and her husband give to a range of nonprofits but especially like donating to the Empty Stocking Fund because it assists local people. “The Empty Stocking Fund seems to help those people who are down in their luck right now,” Collins said. “And maybe this will help them get back on their feet.”

A Santa Fe man is accusing a nurse contracted by Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center of failing to properly apply a blood-clot therapy to his right leg, which resulted in an amputation, according to a lawsuit filed in state District Court. The lawsuit, filed Dec. 5 by attorney Stephen Tinkler on behalf of Heriberto Castillo, claims the amputation of Castillo’s leg could have been prevented if the nurse had properly applied a tissue plasminogen activator, a substance used to dissolve blood clots. The lawsuit names Christus St. Vincent, nurse Stephanie Ridge and Autumn Enterprises/Freedom Healthcare Staffing, a Colorado company, as defendants. Castillo is seeking an unspecified amount in punitive damages. Castillo had gone to an urgent care center in July 2011 complaining of pain in his right knee. He received an injection of pain medication and was referred to a pain specialist, whom he visited Aug. 16. The doctor ordered blood testing. When Castillo’s results came back Aug. 18, the doctor instructed Castillo to go to the emergency room at Christus St. Vincent, where hospital staff ran additional tests, and a radiologist recommended that Castillo undergo “infusion therapy to treat deep vein

FUNERAL SERVICES AND MEMORIALS

ARQUIMEDES "KIMO" CASTRO WILLIAM HOWARD REED Arquimedes "Kimo" Castro, a beloved pillar of the Santa Fe Community, passed away Saturday, December 6, 2014. With his loving family at his bedside at the M. D. Anderson Center in Houston, Texas, Kimo died unexpectedly but peacefully two weeks after being diagnosed with leukemia. Kimo’s life journey was an amazing tale full of cultural folklore, revolutionary heroism and courage, culinary artistry, unbounded success, and limitless love and compassion for his friends and family. Kimo was born in the small village of Chalatenango, El Salvador. Committed to alleviating the crippling poverty of his country, he studied sociology at the university in San Salvador and became a leader in the student revolutionary movement. His social involvement took him to Cuba, where he continued his education and strengthened his ideals for social justice, cultural awareness and diversity. He also cultivated a life long passion for storytelling, writing folklore "cuentos," and Cuban music. Upon his return to El Salvador however the escalating war put him, along with his family, in grave danger because of his activism. He escaped by immigrating to New Mexico where he met and married his lifelong partner and soul mate Eleanor "Nornie". Together they helped other Central American refugees acquire sanctuary here. Kimo proudly became an American citizen in 1982 . In Santa Fe, Kimo started as a dishwasher at Victor’s, a renowned Italian restaurant, where he quickly mastered culinary skills to become the head chef there. He became a well-known chef in the restaurant community, while working at Santa Fe’s finest restaurants. He later became owner of The Burrito Company, a local institution just off the plaza. Kimo furthered his passion for storytelling and international folklore, by writing short stories and teaching his two daughters the art of performing them. He also volunteered in their classrooms, teaching children how to cook Italian and Latin American dishes. Many in the local immigrant community remember him as an extraordinary soccer player and respected role model. He touched all who crossed his path with his intelligence, compassion, and love for the arts. Described by many as a unique and gentle soul, he was an incredible husband, father, and friend. Kimo left behind countless people who loved him, devoted wife of more than 30 years Eleanor "Nornie" Castro, daughters Maria Castro and Alicia Castro Chicol, son-in-law Luis Chicol, nephew Atilio Alberto Castro the son he never had, brothers Atilio and Alex Castro, cherished employees of The Burrito Company and numerous nieces and nephews in El Salvador and the U.S. He was preceded in death by his parents Heriberto and Maria Elia and brothers Antonio and Rolando Castro. We miss you Papi and cherish the memories you created with us. Kimo viviras por siempre en nuestros corazones. A memorial service will be held Saturday, December 20, at 5:00 P.M. at the International Folk Art Museum on Museum Hill, 706 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM 87505. DOROTHY HYATT DAVIS AUGUST 18, 1930 - DECEMBER 8, 2014 Dorothy Hyatt Davis, surrounded by her family, passed from this life on December 8, 2014. While we mourn the loss of her loving presence in our lives we rejoice that she is beyond all suffering and we will keep her in our hearts forever. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Julian Walker Davis; her parents, Dora Fox Hyatt and Raymond Columbus Hyatt and her brother, R. C. Hyatt, Jr. She is survived by her son, Larry Davis and his partner, Margaret Mooney of Santa Fe, New Mexico; her grandson, Steven Davis and his wife, Lara of Dallas, Texas and her sister, Ila Buchanan and her husband, Buck of Marshall, Texas. She is also survived by her special family friends Ben and Lisa Reed of San Antonio, and their sons, Lance Reed and his wife, Amber of Ft. Worth and Adam Reed and his wife, Krista of San Antonio. Also left to cherish her memory are her nieces, nephews and many beloved friends. An elegant, gracious, loving lady, Dorothy gave us a final life lesson with her courage, grace and dignity as she faced her many health challenges. She never lost her smile or her concern for everyone else. We wish to express heartfelt thanks to the wonderful and caring nurses, therapists and aides who cared for her during her long stay at the Heights on Huebner. Our thanks also go the kind and supportive folks from Gentiva Hospice. A celebration of Dorothy’s remarkable life will be scheduled for the coming year in San Antonio. We urge those wishing to offer a memorial to please give to a charity of your choice.

William Howard Reed, 85, of Chula Vista, California, passed away on November 21, 2014 as the result of a stroke. Bill is survived by his wife of 63 years, Marylin, for whom his lifelong devotion was exemplified in these latest years as he cared for her. He is also survived by daughter Mary Reed and Ethan Van Thillo, son Chris Reed and Carrie Danielson all from the San Diego area, and son Monty Reed and Denise Smarse of Gainesville, Florida. Bill’s grandchildren include Christopher and Joshua Reed from Portland, Oregon, Alissa Olgun of Los Angeles, Arthur Reed of San Diego, Olivia Reed of Boone, North Carolina, Sofia Reed of Gainesville, and Marc and Kurt Van Thillo, also of San Diego. Great-grandchildren are Tallulah Reed, Milo Olgun, and soon, Charlie Reed. Bill was a loving father, counselor, teacher and coach and always the quiet, soft-yet-firmly-spoken gentleman. Bill was born on February 20, 1929 in Fort Collins, Colorado to Howard E. “Bill” Reed and Lucille Beedy. Lucille died of complications of childbirth and so his step-mother Alma raised him. “Billy” grew up in Loveland, Colorado where he excelled in academics and athletics, received awards for essays and lettered in football, basketball and track at Loveland High School (Class of ’47). Bill also attended the University of Colorado, where he played football and lettered in track. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1951 and later a Master of Arts and a PhD in Education. Bill proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps on active duty between 1951 and 1953, and continued reserve service. He attained the rank of major. Bill and his family lived in Boulder, Colorado, where he served as a teacher, coach, counselor, and vice principal at Boulder High School (1953–1970) and Fairview High School (1972–1984). Bill also served as Principal at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico for the 1971 – 72 academic year. Bill loved sports and was an accomplished recreational runner, enjoyed reading and kept up with current events. He loved to play his harmonica on the porch and had a long-time interest in Native American arts and history. He also relished skiing and hiking in Colorado and New Mexico. A special thank you to the various care givers from recent years, particularly Rachel Rodrigues and Everr Lee Ford as well as all the folks at Sunrise Bonita who helped Bill care for Marylin and are still helping care for her during her battle with Alzheimer’s disease. A California service for Bill will be held at Church of the Good Shepherd, 3990 Bonita Road, Bonita, California on December 20th at 9:00 am, and a graveside service for interment of ashes will be held at the Loveland Lakeside Cemetery and Burial Grounds, Loveland Colorado, Highway 257, on January 30th at 2:00pm, followed by a reception (location to be announced). Memorial donations may be made to the William (Bill) Reed Scholarship Fund, which will be developed to support a deserving scholar-athlete from Loveland, Boulder, and/or Santa Fe. In lieu of flowers, supporters and friends are asked to access http://www.razoo.com/story/William-Reed-Memorial-Scholarship-Fundraiser to contribute, or write a check earmarked to the William (Bill) Reed Scholarship Fund and made out to the "MediaArts Center."

MILLER, NOVEMBER 22, 2014, AGE 88 In his own words "Jack Lawrence Miller, age 88, was born August 13, 1926 and lived until the day he died November 22, 2014. Amen." Jack L. Miller was born in Springfield MA. While he was very young his family moved to Ohio where he spent happy years growing up on Lake O’Springs in North Canton with his elder brother, Bill, and his younger brother, Luther. He began his lifelong love of music taking violin lessons and singing as a boy soprano in church. While attending Jackson Township High School he led the band as Drum Major winning several Ohio state competitions. A big honor for him was being asked to lead the band down the Soap Box Derby track in Akron. After graduating high school he was drafted into the army, following basic training he transferred to Nuremberg, Germany just as WWII was coming to an end. He served in the first occupation forces, where he remembered guarding the house of one of the judges the night before he arrived for the Nuremberg Trials. Jack studied music and violin at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston graduating with the class of 1951, then on to graduate school at Boston University with an emphasis on conducting. He taught, played and conducted music throughout his career that spanned over 45 years and multiple states including MA, WY, NY, OR and ND where he completed his career in 1991 as the Assistant Dean of the Fine Arts College at the University of North Dakota where he taught for twenty years and served as musical director and conductor for the UND Chamber Orchestra and the Greater Grand Forks Symphony for many years. After retirement, UND awarded Jack Professor Emeritus. He and his wife, Virginia, moved to Santa Fe in 1992 where he continued to share his love of music by playing violin or viola in the San Juan and Roswell Symphonies, several Santa Fe Community Orchestra concerts and local chamber groups. He loved the mountains, bears and dogs, especially Saint Bernards. On an extended trip throughout Europe he visited Saint Bernard Pass in the Swiss Alps. He loved reading books, sitting in the warm NM sun, and walking his dog and visiting neighbors. Jack gave his last string lesson several days before he died when livened by live music in his home, courtesy of good neighbor and musician Keith Vizcarra. Jack L. Miller is survived by his wife of 58 years, Virginia J. Miller, a daughter, Barbara W. Miller of Yuma AZ, two sons, Donald L. Miller and wife Nena of Singapore (son of Jack’s first wife, Elizabeth Campbell, deceased 1954), Kenneth P Miller and wife Trish of the San Diego area, his brother, Luther Miller and wife Iris of Rochester NY, four grandchildren, six great grandchildren, many other relatives, and Smokey, his beloved shelter dog. Most important Jack loves his family and friends and his family and friends love him. He is and always will be deeply missed. A memorial service will be held to celebrate the life of Jack L. Miller on December 27, 2014 from 2 to 4pm at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Santa Fe, 107 West Barcelona Rd. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the New England Conservatory of Music Annual Fund in memory of Jack L. Miller, class of 1951.

Sunday, December 14, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

Continued from Page C-1 “It looked like a bomb had hit it,” said Jake Barrow, program director at Cornerstones Community Partnership, a nonprofit that helps save architectural treasures throughout the Southwest. The nonprofit has consulted with the tribe during the restoration project. Kewa Pueblo, about 34 miles southeast of Santa Fe, since 2009 has been applying for federal funds and has held private fundraisers to revive the once well-visited trading post. Although work is about 75 percent complete on restoration of the onetime tourist attraction, whose visitors over the years included President John F. Kennedy, officials don’t expect the business will be up and running until sometime in 2016. The project to restore the building kicked off in 2009 when pueblo officials learned that the Rail Runner Express train operation would create a station at the pueblo. The train has been picking up and dropping off passengers in the pueblo since 2010. Barrow said because of the train stop, more locals and tourists will visit the site. “We’re just happy to be helpful to try to get this New Mexico icon back

In 1997, the two-story trading post was listed on the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties. In 1998, it also was listed on the National Register of Historic Properties. As part of the final stages of work on the building, artist Ricardo Caté, a member of the pueblo, has been painting the facade. He said he tried to follow the original designs, including rugs, pottery and a thunderbird, with some tweaks. “It’s a community project, so I’m just glad that I’m part of it,” said Caté, who is also known Amber Caté of Santo Domingo Pueblo paints a sign in front of the Santo Domingo Trading Post late last month. for Without Reservations, his LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN humorous cartoons with a Native American perspective together again,” he said. director of policy and develop- published in The Santa Fe New Mexican since 2006.

Lapel: Cams could offer more protection Continued from Page C-1 transparency.” Matt Martinez, a Santa Fe police sergeant and the president of the Santa Fe Police Officers Association, said he wears a lapel camera, “and that’s only because if we’re going on a search warrant, or going after a person with an arrest warrant, they can’t come back and say we did something that wasn’t done.” Last week, a grand jury exonerated a New York City police officer in connection with a chokehold on a 43-yearold black man who died after being taken into custody. That incident was recorded by a witness with a cellphone. And in late November, another grand jury declined to indict a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., who fatally shot Michael Brown, 18, in August. Both decisions prompted public protests across the country. Neither officer was wearing a body camera. There is evidence that body cameras are working. A study conducted by the police department in Rialto, Calif., in 2012 found that both complaints against their officers and useof-force cases declined when officers started wearing them. According to the study, there was an 88 percent decline in complaints filed against officers in the department — when only half of the 54 officers were wearing the cameras. The number of complaints dropped from 24 to three. Rialto police officers’ use of force dropped to 25 instances, compared with 61 the previous year, the study said. An eight-month study by the

Mesa, Ariz., police department of 50 officers wearing body cameras and 50 without the cameras showed similar results. Celina Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department, said besides Martinez, a total of 11 officers — six motorcycle officers and five bicycles officers — have been using lapel cameras because their two-wheelers don’t have dashboard camera videorecording capability. And Santa Fe Police Chief Eric Garcia has had some of his officers test out two different lapel cameras for the past two months. Espinoza said the department will test the models before the chief makes a decision on which body cameras to purchase. Garcia said he wants the most user-friendly device, but he cautioned that the public should not depend on lapel cameras being the only solution to officer accountability. “If the officer is faced with a deadly situation, that officer will … try to de-escalate the situation or take action,” Garcia said. “Is that person going to think, ‘Oh, wait, I have to turn on the lapel cam?’ ” The Albuquerque Police Department, with more than 700 lapel cameras, is one of the best equipped agencies in the country in terms of body camera equipment. But two recent cases illustrate the pros and cons of the devices. In October, a 23-year-old Albuquerque woman accused Officer Jared Frazier of sexual misconduct during a DWI stop. At the police station, the woman asked to use the restroom. The officer, standing

outside, recorded her talking on her cellphone and saying, “How can I get this officer in trouble?” The woman went on to tell her friend that the officer was “inappropriately touching me while I was waiting in the car.” Frazier was investigated and cleared of any wrongdoing, according to a KOB-TV report. Another Albuquerque police officer was fired last week for failing to record a deadly encounter, as required by department policy. Police say Jeremy Dear shot Mary Hawkes, 19, after she pulled a gun on him. According to news reports, the camera manufacturer couldn’t determine if the camera had malfunctioned or the officer had turned it off. Nickell, the Las Vegas police detective, said when law enforcement departments start writing lapel camera policies, it would be unfair to target officers whose equipment malfunctions during interactions with the public. “There’s going to be problems with the technology,” he said. “What’s going to happen when a police officer gets into some situation, and it doesn’t have to be a deadly force situation, and the technology fails? You’re going to have the conspiracy-theory people coming out of the woodwork claiming that the police are covering something up.” The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office deputies have been using lapel cameras for the past three years. Maj. Ken Johnson, a spokesman for the agency, said the policy is that whenever a deputy interacts with the public, he or she needs to turn

on the lapel camera. He said the sheriff’s office wanted the cameras to help deputies write more accurate reports of their interactions with the public. State police Chief Pete Kassetas said since 1995, in-car camera systems have been installed in every marked patrol unit. Officers also have been issued belt voice recorders and can be disciplined for failing to use them to record encounters with the public. The lapel cams, he said, will offer an extra layer of protection for both officers and the public. His agency has not yet developed a written policy because it is still testing the devices. Kassetas warned that it might be difficult for officers to use a camera in quickly developing situations. “The public needs to understand this system must be tuned on manually, unlike our in-car camera system currently used,” he said. John Day, a Santa Fe criminal defense lawyer, called the technology “an invaluable tool.” He said he routinely asks for the video recording on behalf of his clients. In a recent case, he said, the lapel camera video made by a motorcycle officer who responded to a verbal altercation between neighbors was used by the judge to clear his client. “It helps the prosecution to drop the case or it can help convince a client that the officer’s version of events are accurate,” Day said.

Ernistine Archuleta, 23, were arrested on charges of shoplifting Friday afternoon after they were accused of trying to steal cosmetics and jewelry from the Kmart store on St. Michael’s Drive. The two women had concealed about $32 worth of merchandise in their purses and then paid for some other items before attempting to leave the store, according to a police report. u Savitaben Bhakta, 73, of Santa Fe was arrested on a charge of shoplifting Friday after allegedly stealing a medicated rub and hair products worth about $65 from Wal-Mart at 3251 Cerrillos Road.

Connoisseur, fashion model, business woman, clothing designer, Michael embodied this and more in her long career. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. she moved to California as a young woman, running her very successful clothing design business. She came to Santa Fe in the late 60s to organize the first Eight Northern Pueblos Show and continued supporting Native artists managing the Case Trading Post at the Wheelwright Musuem from 1979 to 1985, turning it into a million-dollar phenomenon in three years. Her vast knowledge and sharp interest in Native arts led her to open a contemporary Native Arts gallery for Gerald Peters, "El Parian" in the early 90s. She retired in the mid 90s moving to California to be near daughter, Juliet, son-in-law, Terry Hubbs, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A beloved mother, grandmother and devoted friend, she will be sorely missed.

appropriate local requirements just like every independent contractor in the city of Santa Fe.” On Nov. 25, after The New Mexican used the service and wrote about it, Stefanie Beninato of Santa Fe filed a public records request asking for the business licenses of the two drivers featured in the story. “I was curious about whether they were registered or not,” she said. “The city told me they had no records under either Uber’s name or the two drivers who were mentioned in the article.” One of those drivers, Duranona, obtained his business license Wednesday. Duranona

did not return a call seeking comment. Beninato, who has been involved in legal battles with the city and regularly files public records requests, said the basis of her request was to find out whether Uber drivers are paying gross receipts taxes. “I’d like to see them pay gross receipts tax like all other businesses have to pay,” she said. “It’s ironic in a sense that the mayor is supporting this business without it complying with city requirements.” Contact Daniel J.

An IV drip containing the tissue plasminogen activator was initiated by Dr. Jonathon Lehman on Aug. 19, 2011. But on Aug. 21, “Mr. Castillo was brought from the ICU to be examined by Dr. Lehman. Dr. Lehman discovered Mr. Castillo’s infusion catheter had been turned off and the TPA drip had been connected to his peripheral IV, resulting in Mr. Castillo not receiving the TPA infusion treatment,� according to the complaint. The therapy equipment had not been properly installed, the complaint says, adding, “The acts and omissions in turning off the plaintiff’s catheter and connecting his TPA drip to his peripheral IV were below the standard of care and were a direct and proximate cause of injury to the plaintiff.� Doctors tried to implement the therapy again, but there were no signs of improvement, and Castillo had to go through an emergency high-risk surgery.

WATSONVILLE, Calif. — A lifetime of moving has taught Claudia Morales to start packing early, because like many 13-year-olds, her room “is always a mess.� The hoodies go in her suitcase, but as usual, all her partially completed schoolwork ends up in the trash. Just a week later, Claudia has new notebooks, along with new textbooks, and three bulging suitcases to start unpacking 200 miles away. She does this every year. Twice. This December, thousands of migrant farmworker children are making their annual trek to new schools in California, but they do so also at other times throughout the country. During growing season, their parents rent low-cost housing in federally subsidized labor camps, but state rules man-

date that families move at least 50 miles away when the camps close for the winter. “We have a life we need to live,� she said. “I like both places, but when I grow up I expect to have good work and buy a house where we can stay permanently.� Claudia gets straight As at one school, somewhat lower grades at her other. But as years pass and coursework gets more complex, the odds rise against her. Eventually, about 90 percent of kids living in seasonal worker housing drop out of school, according to the San Jose-based nonprofit human rights organization Human Agenda. At Aptos Junior High School, where Claudia started eighth grade this fall, migrant counselor Juan Alcantar said he has a handful of students who are flunking every class, biding their months before their move, sometimes as far away as Mexico. “They see themselves as visitors on this campus,� he said. “They figure, ‘I come from a labor camp next to a dump site. I don’t belong, and I’m leaving soon.’ �

RT! E NCDAY O C TO

A state lawmaker this year tried to change the 50-mile rule, but the bill died in committee. For Claudia, the cycle continues. Her labor camp is less than an hour drive south of Silicon Valley, where in the past 50 years the region has transitioned from lush orchards and vegetable fields to a global technology hub. “This is a largely invisible population, but we all should care a whole lot about this,� said Stanford University Professor Amado Padilla, who studies immigration. “Kids who don’t finish school end up being a burden on society. On the flip side, kids who are well-educated end up being the caregivers both personally and economically of the older generation.� California has 24 seasonal farmworker centers, 1,900 apartments all together, run by the state’s Office of Migrant Housing. The program dates to the 1930s, when the federal government opened migrant labor camps for Dust Bowl refugees. The idea behind the 50-mile

rule was to provide seasonal housing for families who come to an area to work only during picking season. State officials say that despite a sharp drop-off in the past decade of migrating farmworker families, the seasonal housing should not be occupied year-round and hence unavailable for the next season’s pickers and planters. “We are not aware of members of families being in jams or having a problem with having to move away,� said Guerdon Stuckey, an assistant deputy director at the state Department of Housing and Community Development. He said some

families move from crop to crop and are not looking for permanent housing. “We’ve met several of these farmworkers, and on the contrary, they’re not only aware of the many affordable housing options, they enjoy this lifestyle,� he said. Claudia’s family lives in a complex of 50 flimsy — Styrofoam and plywood — prefabricated duplexes built in the late 1960s. Her bedroom window overlooks a small valley, a county jail and a dump. The rent of about $350 a month is still a lot for Claudia’s dad Juan Morales, who made $9.50 an hour planting strawberry root stocks in November.

Santa Fe Habitat works with volunteers and partner families to build a number of aordable homes each year in Santa Fe. Last year, over 92% of Santa Fe Habitat’s total budget went directly into building homes. In addition to the on-going construction of new homes, Santa Fe Habitat now has a Home Improvement program helping Santa Fe homeowners to rehabilitate and preserve their existing homes.

Aurora Organic Dairy, a leading producer of retail store brands. Aurora has supplied Wal-Mart, Target, Costco and other supermarkets, according to Cornucopia. An Aurora spokesperson said their records show that the cows went out to pasture that day. “A single photo doesn’t really tell us anything about a farm and its practices,” said Sonja Tuitele, a spokesperson for Aurora Organic Dairy. “Our records do indicate that all of our lactating cows at the Coldwater facility were grazing on pastures on May 17th. Since we don’t know what time of day this photo was taken, we can only assume this photo was taken outside of their daily grazing hours.” The shadows in the photo suggest it is about midday. Tuitele also noted the photo

does not include all of the surrounding fields. However, other Cornucopia photos taken of the surrounding land, some of it grassy, shows no other cows out. Another of the targets of the Cornucopia complaints is the Idalou Egg Farm in Idalou, Texas. A representative said the birds may not have appeared outside because it was near midday and the birds may have been seeking shade. Also, he said, birds standing in the shade may not appear in the photo. Kastel said a high-resolution copy of the photo shows no birds out at the facility — even in the shade. “When people buy organic milk and eggs, they are buying the story behind the label,” Kastel said. “We have a wonderful, romantic story.

By Keefer C.B. KID’S FIRST critic

Grand! Truly the most epic version of this story. Moses (Christian Bale) goes through a journey of faith to set the slaves of Eygpt free from Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton). The actors in this film are superb, from Edgerton’s portrayal of arrogant Ramses to Ben Kingsley’s portrayal as the wise and spiritual nun. Every character has a distinct identity, especially my favorite character, Moses, who goes through dynamic changes in this film thanks to an outstanding performance by Bale. The landscape of this film is colossal. If you get a chance, watch this on the big screen. Some of you will wait and watch it on your phone or laptop, but that does the film a huge disservice. Whether it’s 3-D or not, it’s amazing when watching Eygpt being built with swarms of people. The desert locations they chose set the tone of the film. The most monumental scene is when the slaves walk through the Red Sea. It’s a race against time and tide that keeps you on the edge of you seat. The story focus is on Moses’ relationship with a higher power. Some of the best scenes are him talking or arguing with God, who is portrayed as a little boy (Isaac Andrews). However, in the film, this character is identified as Malak, the Hebrew term for angel. This raises questions: Is he talking to God? Is Moses imagining these conversations? Could it be that the boy he is talking to represents himself? Not only does this show how extraordinary the storytelling is, it also results in the audience coming to its own conclusions. That shows that you don’t have to believe in a specific religion to enjoy this film. It’s an ambitious move on the director’s part, but I’m glad they did it. My favorite scene is the last conversation Moses has with Malak. This is when Moses writes down the Ten Commandments. I adore this scene because it’s a reflection of the journey that Moses went on. And this is another great scene between Bale and Andrews. The message of this story is: How far will you go for your faith? God has had enough of seeing his people suffer, so he sends nine plagues to make Ramses let his people go. Ramses retaliates by killing more Hebrews. There is so much death. It leads to one to side doing something even worse. By the end, one side wins, but when you really think about it, how many people died to get there? I give this film 5 out of 5 stars and recommend this to 14- through 18-year-olds. This film contains extremely brutal images that most young kids won’t be able to handle. It’s necessary because the story focuses on showing the inhumanity of slavery. This epic film is now in theaters.

Teen sexting fears are overblown By Elizabeth Englander Special to The Washington Post

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. tories of teens taking and sending a naked picture of themselves with their phones have been all over the news media in recent years. The outcome? Shocking, according to reports, which have suggested that humiliation and sometimes even suicide can follow. But what is the reality? Sexting is often seen as a dicey electronic version of “I’ll show you mine, you show me yours.” Many teens (and adults) engage in it. Indeed, some are suggesting that it is becoming a “normal” part of adolescent sexual development. And in general, few psychological problems (if any) are correlated with the behavior. Here’s the bottom line: Research suggests that most photos don’t end up in disasters, either socially (being passed around, teased, bullied) or criminally (being prosecuted). Such outcomes are possible, but they aren’t highly probable. We should make kids aware of these possibilities, but we have to do that without suggesting that disaster is likely or, worse, inevitable.

S

Risky behavior? Sexting is a crime when it involves sending nude pictures of anyone under 18 years old. A study of thousands of sexting cases found that those selected for criminal prosecution in the U.S. in 2011 involved adults asking teens for pictures, or cases of obvious coercion, threats or blackmail. The researchers pointed out that the cases that come to the attention of authorities are more likely to have aggravating circumstances. Whether the authorities are actively choosing not to prosecute more run-of-the-mill sexting, or whether they are prosecuting teen-on-teen sexting but simply rarely seeing it, is unclear. The news media continue to cover stories such as the recent case in Oakland County, Mich., but true to form, that case went beyond two teens exchanging photos, and involved boys collecting groups of photos for purposes unknown. If a teen sends a nude photo to a friend, how big is the risk that it will result in serious harm? Recent research is downplaying that risk. I have found that more than three-quarters of teens who sext believe their photo went to the intended recipient and no one else. These teens might be wrong and spreading photos around might be more common; but if the sender believes it has been kept private, then he or she probably wasn’t traumatized by a mass

exposure. When I studied the aftereffects of sexting, I found that most incidents didn’t have much of an outcome at all — either good or bad. Most kids didn’t describe trauma or bullying, but neither did they describe newly acquired boyfriends or increased popularity. The most common outcome was generally “feeling worse,” but even that happened in only about one-quarter of the cases.

Yet there are risks to sexting that have been largely ignored. A lot of sexting is done to attract the recipient — either by an existing girlfriend or boyfriend, or by someone who wants a relationship with the recipient. It’s becoming increasingly clear, however, that not all sexting is about fun and games. My biggest concern is when kids under 18 — often girls — are pressured by their peers to engage in sexting that they really don’t want to do. The younger they are when they sext, the more likely they are to report that they succumbed to pressure. And that pressure isn’t rare. Overall, about two-thirds of the teens in my research studies report that they were pressured or coerced into sexting at least some of the time. Being pressured into sexting sometimes happened within a dating relationship, or it might come from a person (usually a boy) with whom a girl wants to have a relationship. Wanting to attract that boy, and wanting to be attractive to a boyfriend or girlfriend, were the most common reasons for actually sending the photo. About 92 percent of the teens who were not pressured reported no problems following sexting; but that number dropped to only 68 percent of the teens who felt pressured into sexting.

Parents and sexting

Sunday, Dec. 21

Both sex and technology are topics that can be anxiety-ridden for parents, and it can be difficult for kids to believe there is any risk when they see so many peers sexting without consequences. It’s important for parents to discuss risk, but also to discuss them realistically. Talking with your children about obeying the law, respecting others’ privacy, everyone’s right to keep their bodies private, and what values you have about this issue is what parenting around sexting is all about.

Timeless tips for avoiding holiday celebration faux pas

Anniversaries

E

very winter, readers inquire about the numerous etiquette topics of the season. Here are the popular ones I revisit annually to take out the guesswork so you can focus on being holly and jolly.

Office parties

Eloyda and Rudy Garcia were married on Dec. 12, 1949, at Cristo Rey Church in Santa Fe. COURTESY PHOTOS

Garcia 65th On Dec. 12, 2014, Rudy and Eloyda Garcia celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Both are Santa Fe natives. Rudy first saw Eloyda in front of St. Francis Cathedral and says he fell in love with her the moment he saw her. After a year of courting, Rudy took a two-week furlough from the Army. He was 18 and she was 17. They were married by the Rev. Monsignor Glynn Patrick Smith at Cristo Rey Church — on the first day of the feast of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. There was heavy snow on that day in 1949 — at least a foot of snow on the ground and more falling. The ceremony almost did not happen because many vehicles would not start. After the wedding, a reception was held at Eloyda’s mother’s house on Canyon Road. At the time of the wedding, Rudy was stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., in an infantry division, but he was transferred to Pittsburg, Calif., to Fort Ord. He sent for Eloyda, and they lived in an upstairs apartment. They recall their downstairs neighbors were often irked at them for because Rudy and Eloyda were always dancing. They lived in California for about a year before Rudy was transferred to Japan. He was stationed in Fuji — and was very surprised to see his brother Tony and two first cousins — Frank and Raymond Alire — also there. Rudy was in Japan for a year and then completed his four-year military career. He worked odd jobs while going to night school to study mechanics. He went on to have a 30-year career at Sears before he retired. Eloyda was a devoted homemaker and mother of six children. Rudy and Eloyda are now blessed with 17 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

SPORTS CAPITAL CITY TOURNAMENT ST. MICHAEL’S 42, SANTA FE HIGH 38

Lady Horsemen beat SFHS for crown By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

Alex Groenewold has been so close to a Capital City championship for several years now, but she finally got one in her final chance. Groenewold, a senior post on the St. Michael’s girls basketball team, led the Lady Horsemen with 20 points that paved the way to a 42-38 victory over Santa Fe High in the girls championship of the Bobby Rodriguez Capital City Tournament in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymna-

sium on Saturday. The Demonettes (9-1) had won their home tournament for three straight years, but the Lady Horsemen (3-2) changed that by taking a 12-10 lead at the end of the opening quarter and never giving it up. And finally, there was a trophy worthy of Groenewold’s patience and persistence. “We’ve been to the championship three of the four years I was on varsity, and we’ve lost to Santa Fe High each time, so it’s nice that I could get the win over them my senior year,” Groenewold said.

To make the moment even sweeter, Groenewold got the tournament’s most valuable player award. “It’s pretty awesome,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting it, but it’s pretty cool.” While Groenewold was on cloud nine, the Demonettes experienced something that they have not known in a long time. Not only did they lose the championship game on their home court to a bitter rival, but they also lost their first game since falling to Española Valley on Feb. 8 of this year — a span of 18 games.

LOBOS 54, LOUISIANA-MONROE 46

Still, a loss this early in the season is not the worst thing that could happen. “To lose here is not that bad because I tell my girls every loss is not as bad as you think it is and every win is not as great as you think it is,” Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez said. “If we learn from this and get better from it, then I’m OK with it. If we don’t learn from it, then I’m ticked off.” That remains to be seen. Santa Fe High was down by as

PHILADELPHIA or a team that was dominated at home in front of a national television audience on Thanksgiving, the Dallas Cowboys have plenty of confidence going into their rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. First place in the NFC East is on the line when the Eagles (9-4) host the Cowboys (9-4) under the prime-time lights Sunday night. The winner takes control of the division while the loser has a tough road to get into the playoffs. “If we play like the team we are capable of, we shouldn’t have any worries,” Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Just 17 days earlier, the Eagles routed the Cowboys 33-10. But Dallas rebounded with a win at Chicago and has three extra days to prepare for the Eagles, who are coming off a loss to Seattle. “We need to be the best ver-

NFL DENVER CAN CLINCH AFC WEST TITLE

‘Perfect Peyton’ bedevils Chargers By Bernie Wilson The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO eyton Manning will always be linked to the San Diego Chargers. There was draft day in 1998 when he went to the Indianapolis Colts with the No. 1 overall pick and the Chargers were stuck with Ryan Leaf, one of the biggest busts in NFL history. The Chargers — and particularly their fans — got some measure of revenge when Philip Rivers and his mates eliminated Manning and the Colts from the playoffs in consecutive seasons. Then came Manning’s Denver years, and the Chargers just can’t

get rid of “Perfect Peyton,” as Leaf once referred to him. There was Manning leading a 35-point, second-half comeback on a Monday night in 2012. He and the Broncos eliminated the Chargers from last season’s playoffs. Now Manning and the Broncos (10-3) can clinch their fourth

straight AFC West title if they beat the Chargers (8-5) at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday. “These division games count double, so I think you do put special emphasis on division games and that is how we’re looking at it,” Manning said. “It’s a lot on the line. It’s tough playing there. Every time we’ve played this team, it seems like it’s been settled by a couple points here or there and that is what you’d expect this time around.” The Broncos are seeking their

ALBUQUERQUE — For a team that was supposed to make a living getting up and down the floor and scoring points in bunches, The University of New Mexico is sure making things interesting by generating a grinding defense while valuing possessions. Holding an opponent without a double-digit scorer for the second straight game, the Lobos (6-3) picked up their third straight win with a 54-46 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday night in The Pit. The highlight of the three-game streak is defense, defense, defense. All three wins have seen UNM give up, in succession, 47, 46 and 46 points. ULM needed a late burst to even reach that total. “You think we would be in a better flow at home offensively, but we weren’t able to practice in here all week and that’s because of graduation and we understand that,” said Lobos head coach Craig Neal. “We’ve done a really good job doing what we want to do defensively except for that last six minutes.” Those last six minutes saw the Warhawks (4-4) cut a 48-31 UNM lead to just six points with under four minutes remaining thanks to an 11-0 run. Neal could sense something was amiss early in the Lobo dry spell, but he wanted to test his young team to see how it handled things. Bottom line, it needed help. ULM was charging, the fans were restless and things were falling apart. Neal offered a lifeline in the form of a timeout that calmed the nerves and helped UNM close things out. It’s all part of the learning experience for a team whose identity is transforming from high-octane to bruising enforcer seemingly overnight. “I was gonna let them play it through [the 11-0 run] because I wanted to see if we could mature and battle through, but it got down to six and I couldn’t do that,” Neal said. “Good teams would have played through that but our guys just aren’t ready for that yet.” Deshawn Delaney was the game’s lone double-figure scorer with 15 points. Like most everyone else,

Same, too, with other potential record holders — coaches and athletes alike — who may legitimately own state standards but have not filed the appropriate paperwork with the state’s governing body.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Richard Olmsted, rolmsted@sfnewmexican.com

With so much emphasis being placed on sportsmanship and fair play, the NMAA needs to take a step back and clear up this clerical mess. It should make the territorial move and fall in step with the coaches’ association, only recognizing wins while coaching at a New Mexico school. It’s not a slight to Drake. One of the more conversational and deserving coaches in the business, he’s earned his keep in a state that has seen him coach at several schools in and around the Santa Fe area. But in a state where we are so quick to anoint our heroes based on basketball success, it only makes sense that we look at the wise man atop the mountain as one who traveled the same road as everyone else. Take former Pecos boys coach Russ

Gilmore, a man whose 700 wins when he resigned following the 2012-13 season ranked him fifth among all boys coaches. Now at a school in Oklahoma, he got most of his wins while coaching in Texas and automatically cut his way to the top 10 before he ever set foot on the Hobbs campus. Moving forward, does the NMAA recognize his wins in Oklahoma and keep inching him up the boys’ all-time list? There is no policy, per se. Even though his New Mexico umbilical cord is no longer attached, he’s still free to climb ever higher. It’s time for answers. While we all want a shiny new toy for Christmas, maybe we should ask the jolly fat man for the NMAA to amend its records policy.

that point, buoyed by nine steals in the backcourt. All eight full-time varsity players scored in the opening quarter, led by KeeAnna Trujillo’s nine points and six each from Ida Valencia and Megan Armijo. When Mesa Vista’s starters hit the court, the turnover streak ended. Azzy Griego hit a 3-pointer from the left wing 12 seconds into the quarter for 38-3, but the damage had been done. As for Drake, he doesn’t feel like his career is at an end yet. He almost didn’t make it past his time at Española because of pancreatitis, a disease Drake says almost killed him. He’s recovered enough to the point that he no longer needs a cane and roams the sidelines much like he did before his health issues. How much longer can he go? “I’ll go as long as I can go,” Drake said. “I got a good group of sophomores. I’d like to see them through. I got some good eighth graders coming up, but I don’t know if I can make it through that. At least three more years.”

steal in the backcourt and sophomore Elena Abeyta knocked in the game winner. Los Alamos (7-1) struggled against the Lady Huskies’ slow-down pace and trailed 16-13 at the half, and head coach Nestor Trujillo felt it was time to change the tempo. “If we’re going to go down, we’re going down swinging,” Trujillo said, “which is havoc basketball, creating turnovers and letting those turnovers fuel out transition game.” Ashlynn Trujillo had a team-high 11 points for the Lady Hilltoppers and Logan added 10. MAXWELL 36, ACADEMY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 19 The Phoenix (1-8) were down just 13-12 at the half of a nondistrict game., but three turnovers to start the third quarter led to three quick fouls. That also prompted guard Ashley Zapata to the bench. “That was big blow to us,” said Roy Roybal, ATC head coach. “And we already had two girls missing, and one was because of suspension.” Freshman Dominique Marano led the way for ATC with eight points. TIERRA ENCANTADA 47, SANTA FE WALDORF 32 The Lady Wolves were down to five players heading into the fourth quarter against the Lady Alacranes. Aylin Sheehan was out for the night, and Martin Perez injured her hand in the first quarter to get Waldorf (3-4) to that point. When Alex Chastenet fouled out with 3 minutes left, she took her 22 points with her and Tierra Encantada pulled away. Melissa Torres had 13 points to lead the Lady Alacranes. MONTE DEL SOL 44, NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY ACADEMY 11 The Lady Dragons (3-6) held NACA to just two points in the second and third quarters combined, and that allowed them to fashion a 34-6 lead in the seventh-place game of the Laguna-Acoma Invitational. Ali Castillo led the way with 16 points, and Brooke Gallegos added 13.

Lady: Demonettes have 1st loss in 10 months LOVINGTON 42, POJOAQUE VALLEY 25 The Lady Wildcats will return home after taking third place with a win over the Elkettes. Juztice Perry led Lovington with 14 points while Myra Salazar added 13. Pojoaque (3-5) was led by Natalie Martinez, who scored seven points.

Continued from Page D-1 much as 11 points in the fourth quarter, but the Demonettes went on a 6-0 run in 40 seconds to close the gap to 40-35 with 53 seconds left. However, all they got after that was a 3-pointer by Lindsay Varoz to cut the lead to 42-38. “The girls played hard and fought,” Chavez said. “If they would have quit and gave up, I would have been angry, but they fought and showed a lot of heart out there. I’m proud of the girls for fighting back.” While the Demonettes got their first loss in more than 10 months, the Lady Horsemen are heating up after dropping their first two games. They dominated in the first round against Belen before winning close ones against Lovington and Santa Fe High, and a 10-day layover before the start of this tournament was a big reason for their success. “We had quite a while to prepare for this tournament, so we were working really hard at practice and we were pushing

each other,” Groenewold said. “We weren’t together that long before our first two games, so we weren’t really sure what was going to mesh well together.” A Capital City title is nice, but there is still a lot of work to be done. There is also little time to savor this win as the team travels to Bernalillo on Tuesday.

“The good part is that we have some things that we can work on, and the girls realize it,” St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said. “We can be better. It was a big win, but we have bigger fish to fry.” But they can at least enjoy in until Monday. After all, this win was a long time coming.

BELEN 43, LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 39 The Lady Cardinals made a game out of it despite not scoring any points in the opening quarter of the fifth-place game. Robertson (4-3) outscored the Lady Eagles 27-15 in the second half, but the first half damage was too much to overcome. Alicia Arguello scored 11 points to lead the Lady Cardinals and Channel Gallucci scored 16 points to lead Belen. WEST LAS VEGAS 56, CAPITAL 17 The Lady Jaguars failed to score at least 20 points for the second straight day, and it cost them seventh place. Jaylen Gutierrez scored 21 points to pace the Lady Dons (5-2) and Shirley Blazon led Capital (1-9) with eight points.

CAPITAL CITY TOURNAMENT, BOYS

SFHS beat Capital to win third place The New Mexican

next week.

The latest chapter in the Santa Fe High-Capital boys basketball rivalry ended in favor of the Demons, but not by much. Both teams fought for third place at the Bobby SFHS 39 Rodriguez Capital 38 Capital City Tournament in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday, and the host Demons barely squeaked out a 39-38 win. Capital (4-4) lead 38-35 with 2:44 remaining, but a free throw by Korwin Mueller and a 3-pointer by Julio Rivera with 1:07 left gave Santa Fe High (5-3) the lead it never lost. Isiah Brooks stole a Demon pass with :18 left, but he missed the final go-ahead shot. “Close games like that make us better down the road,” Santa Fe High head coach David Rodriguez said. “If we have any success in our district, they’re going to be close games. It’s never too close, as long as you’re on the right side.” Demon guard Keanyn Evans injured his groin in the final minute, and Rodrguez hopes to have him back by

HOBBS 64, ANTHONY GADSDEN 60 The Eagles and Panthers came a long way to battle for the boys championship, but they still put on a close game in front of a small crowd.

Trey Nelson had 14 points to lead four Eagles in double digits and picked up the tournament’s most valuable player honors. Tommy Cano paced the Panthers with 19 points while Cheyenne Barrientos added 12. SANTA FE PREP 55, LOVINGTON 43 The Blue Griffins took fifth place in the boys bracket behind 24 points from guard Francis Castillo y Mulert. Big men Ian Andersson added 12 points and Ben Perillo 10.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Oregon QB Marcus Mariota wins Heisman Trophy By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Marcus Mariota wrote it all down, every word of his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech. It was a good thing, too, because getting through it might have been tougher than sprinting away from linebacker or tossing a long touchdown pass for the Oregon Ducks. The understated star quarterback became Oregon’s first Heisman winner going away Saturday night, capping a threeyear climb to college football’s most prestigious individual award. “I’m humbled to be standing here today,” Mariota said moments after he was announced as the winner. Mariota isn’t a bigger talker, but he steadily worked through his speech, thanking his teammates, teachers, friends and his

home state of Hawaii. He finally hit a snag when it came time to thank his mother and father. He needed to take two deep breaths and still he got choked up. “I had to give thanks to so

many people because where I am today, it’s all do to all those people,” Mariota said later. “It’s hard not to get emotional. It’s been a long journey. My emotions got the best of me.”

A pinpoint passer with widereceiver speed, Mariota came into his junior season as the favorite to win the 80th Heisman and delivered a performance that turned the presentation ceremony at a theater in Times Square into a foregone conclusion. Mariota had twice as many points (2,534) as second-place finisher Melvin Gordon (1,250), the record-breaking running back from Wisconsin. The other finalist, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, was third. Mariota received the secondhighest percentage of possible points (90.92) in Heisman history, behind only Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith, who had 91.63 in 2006. Southern California tailback Reggie Bush received 91.77 percent of possible points in 2005, but his victory was later vacated for violating NCAA rules. Mariota, the first Hawaii

native to win the Heisman, has accounted for a Pac-12-record 53 touchdowns (38 passing, 14 rushing and one receiving) while directing the Ducks’ warp-speed spread offense. “In Hawaii, if one person is successful, the entire state is successful,” he said, draped in leis at his news conference. It will be a matchup of Heisman-winning quarterbacks in the College Football Playoff’s Rose Bowl semifinal Jan. 1 with Mariota and the second-seeded Ducks facing Florida State and Jameis Winston. In an era when so many Heisman winners seemingly come from out of nowhere — the last two were the first freshmen winners — Mariota’s rise was slow and steady. Three of the last four Heisman winners were in their first seasons as starters, including Cam Newton, who won the award in his only season at

Auburn after transferring from a junior college. Before Newton, three straight sophomores won the award (Tim Tebow of Florida, Sam Bradford of Oklahoma and Mark Ingram of Alabama). Tebow was the first sophomore winner. Like Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and Winston, the previous two winners, Mariota started as a redshirt freshman. It didn’t take long for him to establish himself as a star, but unlike Johnny Football and Famous Jameis, Mariota wasn’t the face of college football in his first season. In his second season he put up numbers that rivaled those of Heisman finalist quarterbacks Winston, Manziel, AJ McCarron and Jordan Lynch, but when it came time to vote for the Heisman, Mariota was forgotten. He didn’t even finish in the top 10 in 2013.

Midshipmen’s defense earns 13th straight win over Army

Kentucky rolls past N. Carolina

By David Ginsburg The Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The game was over, and it was time for Navy to celebrate its 13th straight victory over Army. After the Midshipmen stood respectfully for Army’s alma mater, defensive ends Paul Quessenberry and Will Anthony hoisted Ken Niumatalolo on their shoulders to give the winningest football coach in Navy history a free ride in the wake of a 17-10 triumph Saturday. Niumatalolo (56-35) broke a tie with George Welsh for most wins at Navy. He also became the first to win his first seven games against Army (4-8). Asked about his awkward jaunt aboard the two players, Niumatalolo said, “I tried to get down. I have so much respect for Army, I didn’t want to upstage anyone.” The streak remained intact because of Navy’s unrelenting defense and quarterback Keenan Reynolds’ versatility. After Army turned a blocked punt into a touchdown in the first quarter, the Midshipmen used the passing of Reynolds to pull even at halftime. Navy (7-5) then took a 10-7 lead before Reynolds scored from the 1 with 12:07 left to put the Mids in control. Reynolds ran 26 times for 100 yards and completed six of eight passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. As the clock ticked down the final seconds, the thousands of Midshipmen in attendance jumped, yelled and cheered from their perch in the end zone. And soon after that, Niumatalolo went airborne. “It was awesome,” Quessenberry said. “If you watch to the end, I ran into the Secretary of the Navy.” The 13-game run by Navy is the longest in the history of a series that began in 1890. Before the Midshipmen went on their unprecedented streak, neither team in this storied rivalry had won more than five in a row. “It’s not as if you carry points over from one year to the next,” Niumatalolo said. “It is a heck of a run, and you have to give credit to a lot of players and coaches.” Navy leads the series 59-49-7. In the previous 12 games, the Midshipmen outscored Army 400-132 — including 34-7 last

year. Although the score in this one was closer, the result was the same. The Cadets haven’t defeated the Midshipmen since 2001. First-year coach Jeff Monken became the sixth coach to lose to Navy over that span. “I’m certainly disappointed to play as hard as we did and not see our players win, especially the seniors,” Monken said. After scoring a touchdown late in the first half to draw even at 7, Navy opened the third quarter with a 41-yard kickoff return by Ryan Williams-Jenkins. That led to a 45-yard field goal by Austin Grebe for a 10-7 lead. Army then wasted a 50-yard drive, moving to the Navy 30 before Daniel Grochowski hooked a field goal try to the left. Reynolds subsequently directed a 12-play march that lasted nearly eight minutes and ended with the 5-foot-11 junior bulling over the goal line for a 10-point cushion. Naturally, the Cadets didn’t quit. But a possession that moved to the Navy 38 ended with a fumble by quarterback A.J. Schurr. A 52-yard field goal by Grochowski made it 17-10 with 1:51 left, but Navy recovered the ensuing onside kick. That pretty much left Army with the prospect of lamenting yet another loss to their rivals for the next 365 days. For the Army seniors, there will be no second chance. “Of course it will be our one huge regret from our time here,

Rested Oral Roberts beats NMSU Aggies 86-83 TULSA, Okla. — Obi Emegano scored 24 points and Korey Billbury added 21 to lead Oral Roberts to an 86-83 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night.

not beating our archrivals,” defensive end Joe Drummond said. “But when it comes to this program moving forward, we know it’s in very capable hands.” Early on, it appeared as if this game might be different from the 12 that preceded it. The Cadets went up 7-0 in stunning fashion, holding Navy to four yards on its first series before Josh Jenkins blocked a punt and Xavier Moss scooped up the ball and sprinted seven yards into the end zone. Navy senior Pablo Beltran never had a punt blocked before that play — it was his 151st kick — and it marked the first time since 2009 that Army scored first against the Midshipmen. It was a horrid first quarter for Navy, which gained 15 yards on three straight three-andouts. Army maintained the upper hand in the second quarter, but the momentum turned when Cadets quarterback Angel Santiago was stuffed on a fourthand-1 from the Navy 30 with just over two minutes left. The Midshipmen then turned to a seldom-used weapon — the forward pass — to pull into a tie at the break. Reynolds completed a 39-yard pass to Jamir Tillman to the Army 31 and connected with Ryan Williams-Jenkins for 12 yards before throwing a 9-yard TD pass to Tillman with 18 seconds to go before halftime.

Dec. 1 after their scheduled game last Sunday was postponed because of a power outage in Tulsa, trailed 36-32 at halftime. But the Golden Eagles, hitting 65.4 percent of their shots in the second half, went on a 26-8 run to take a 10-point lead with 9:34 left. New Mexico State scored six straight to close within 80-76 with 1:28 left but six Oral Roberts free throws down the stretch were enough to win.

attempts from 3-point range. It’s all part of the soft underbelly his team is just now showing, Neal said. “Our Achilles heel is teams going zone against us,” he said. “We’ve spent the last three weeks practicing more against the zone than we have against man.” Game notes: Lobos guard Sam Logwood left the game with 13 minutes remaining in the second half with an injury to his left shoulder. The freshman was going for a loose ball when he collided with a ULM player near the baseline at the Warhawks’ end of the floor. He briefly went to the locker room, returning with his arm in a sling and shoulder wrapped in ice. Neal said it was nothing more than a sprain and there was no sign of a dislocation. … Sophomore guard Arthur Edwards will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against Central Arkansas. He will have missed nearly four weeks after dislocating a finger on his shooting hand, an injury that resulted in the bone breaking the skin and requiring stitches. … Junior forward Jordan Goodman did not get any playing time Saturday, although he did have a seat two spots to Neal’s left the entire game. … After playing just three times in the first two weeks of December, the Lobos will have four games between Wednesday’s date with Central Arkansas and a New Year’s Eve game at home against Fresno State.

NFL PLAYOFF HOPES

22 teams still harboring postseason dreams By David Leonhardt and Kevin Quealy

host the Ravens, probably needing to win both. If they do, they then go to Jacksonville for what could be a fifth straight victory and a chance to sneak into the playoffs.

The New York Times

Three weeks are left in the NFL regular season, and the postseason picture is still wide open. Only 10 teams have been eliminated, and no team has guaranteed itself a playoff berth. Here, we walk you through the possibilities for the 22 teams that have not yet been eliminated. In the AFC, the Patriots and the Broncos have the edge in the race for the top two spots and the accompanying week of rest. The Colts are also likely to make the playoffs, by winning the AFC South. After those three, it is a scrum: Remarkably, 12 of the conference’s 16 teams have winning records. Only six can make the playoffs. The NFC’s picture is more straightforward. Six teams with nine wins or more — the Packers, the Cardinals, the Eagles, the Cowboys, the Lions and the Seahawks — are fighting for five playoff spots. And the miserable NFC South — where the Saints and the Falcons are tied for first place, at 5-8, with the Panthers at 4-8-1 — will also contribute a team to the postseason. But not every aspect of the NFC is clearer: The race for the top two seeds is more uncertain than in the AFC. Here is the picture as it stands in every division:

AFC East The big question for the Patriots is their seed: They are likely to win the AFC East. And they control their chances to win the top seed — and avoid a trip to Denver in the playoffs. The Patriots have beaten all of the other teams in the race for the No. 1 seed (Denver, Indianapolis and Cincinnati), which means they would win the first tiebreaker with each of those teams. They are tied with the Broncos and a game ahead of the Colts. The Patriots still must play the Dolphins, the Jets and the Bills. A sweep gets them the top seed; winning two of three gets them no worse than a No. 2 seed and a bye. The Dolphins and the Bills are 7-6, and both must travel to New England. If either manages to pull off an upset there and win its other two games, it will be in pretty good shape at 10-6 — more likely to make the playoffs than not. But if they win only two of their remaining

three games and finish 9-7, they will be more likely to miss the playoffs. Three teams are ahead of them in the chase for the AFC’s two wild-card spots (the Steelers, the Chargers and the Ravens, all 8-5). After traveling to New England, the Dolphins host the Vikings and the Jets. The Bills host the Packers and play at Oakland before finishing the season at New England.

Philadelphia’s home game against Dallas is probably this weekend’s biggest. The Eagles would come close to clinching the division with a win. It would give them a one-game lead and the tiebreaker advantage with two games left. Winning the division could be the Eagles’ only route to the playoffs; they are likely to lose wild-card tiebreakers to most teams from the NFC North and West. Those tiebreakers could also keep the Eagles from gaining a toptwo seed even if they win their remaining three games and the division title. After Dallas, the Eagles play at the Giants and at Washington. For a 9-4 team, Dallas is in a notably precarious position because of its schedule and tiebreaker weakness. It’s possible that the Cowboys will need to win their last three games — at Philadelphia, home against the Colts, at the Redskins — to make the playoffs. With two wins, the Cowboys would be 11-5 — with flawed conference and division records, which would hurt them in tiebreakers against the Eagles, the Lions and others. Only one 11-5 team has missed the playoffs in the current division format: the Patriots in 2008. In a two-way tiebreaker, the Cowboys would beat one team: the Seahawks, whom they beat in October.

money division favorite, despite being in third place, because of their relatively weak remaining schedule. They play at home against the Jaguars, travel to Houston and host Cleveland. All the 7-6 AFC teams are in a similar situation: One more loss doesn’t automatically eliminate them, but it will make them a long shot. The Browns will know a lot more about their chances after hosting the Bengals. Wins against Cincinnati and in Carolina could set up a delicious AFC West grudge match with the Ravens NFC West The Broncos are all but — the franchise that was once assured of winning their diviThe Cardinals are two wins the Cleveland Browns — in Baltision, and a Week 15 win would more on the final Sunday, poten- from clinching the NFC’s top clinch it.

against the Broncos, although at least it is in San Diego, on Sunday. A Chargers loss would probably require them to win two road games — at San Francisco and at Kansas City — to finish the season. Keep in mind: The Chargers beat the Ravens and thus own that tiebreaker, which could be crucial if they tie for the final playoff spot. The Chiefs need to run the table. Their schedule starts easy, at home against Oakland, but they then travel to Pittsburgh and host San Diego. If they win all three and finish 10-6, they will be helped by owning the tiebreaker over the Chargers.

against San Diego and Arizona. The 49ers would also need weak finishes from at least two of the following: Dallas, Philadelphia, Detroit and Seattle.

When a contender for the NFC’s top seed — and homefield advantage — plays on the frigid shores of Lake Michigan (the Packers) and two others play in the temperate West (the Cardinals and the Seahawks), the race for the top seed matters. Green Bay’s best hope is to win its final three games and have the Cardinals lose at least a game. The Packers face the Bills and the Buccaneers, on the road, and host the Lions. Seeding aside, one win should be enough to get the Packers into the playoffs. The Lions and the Packers will play a virtual division championship game on the regular season’s final weekend if Detroit wins its next two games and Green Bay wins at least one. That is plausible because the Lions host the 6-7 Vikings and play at the 5-8 Bears. Regardless, two wins will probably be enough to give the Lions a wildcard berth because of their tiebreaker strength. Even one win could do the trick.

NFC South In a fairer world, no NFC South team would make the playoffs, but one of them must. Atlanta’s biggest advantage is that it will hold the tiebreaker over the Saints even if it loses the remaining head-to-head game. The Falcons’ route, then, is simple: win as many of their final three games as New Orleans, and hold off the Panthers. The Falcons’ biggest disadvantage: They play the Steelers on Sunday. Atlanta finishes the season against Carolina. The Saints, at 5-8, may have the easiest road in the division. They play at 5-8 Chicago on Monday, then host the Falcons in the division’s biggest remaining game. The Saints finish at Tampa Bay. A sweep would win the division, but the Saints haven’t won three straight games this season. The NFC South in a nutshell: The Panthers have won four of 13 games; they also still have a clear way to win a division title. Carolina needs to gain a game on both the Saints and the Falcons but could certainly do so. It hosts the 2-11 Buccaneers on Sunday, then the Browns, before what could be a division championship game in Atlanta.

Branquinho, sidelined from July 18 until the opening round due to a right arm injury, is now only $1,050 from becoming the eighth individual to win $1 million in career earnings at the NFR. Branquinho also stands to claim a $48,732 bonus if he holds on to first after all 10 rounds. Trevor Knowles of Mount Vernon, Ore., is second in the world standings with $134,406 after placing third in 3.8. Dakota Eldridge of Elko, Nevada, won round nine in a time of 3.30. Other winners included Sage Kimzey (bull riding), Trevor Brazile of Albuquerque and Cade Swor (tie-down roping), Nick Sartain and Rich Skelton (team roping), Wade Sundell

(saddle bronc riding), and Trula Churchill (barrel racing). Kimzey of Strong City, Okla., who clinched his first world championship in round eight, secured the NFR aggregate crown with a first-place 87.5 on Foolish Man in round nine. He is the lone rider to cover eight of his nine bulls and the only one of seven bull riders ever to win four rounds at one NFR. Kimzey leads the world standings with $269,899, just over $110,000 ahead of secondplace Trey Benton III of Rock Island, Texas, with $159,874. Kimzey’s total also shatters Steve Woolsey’s rookie earnings record of $197,646 for a single event. Brazile tied for first with Swor of Winnie, Texas, in a time of 7.6. The win put Brazile in second in the world standings with $170,778 and third in the aggregate race with a time of 82.80 over nine rounds. He is now first in NFR earnings with $76,929.

Broncos: Denver fans may pack stands Continued from Page D-1 12th straight division road win, which would tie San Francisco’s NFL record set from 1987-90. The Chargers are trying to bounce back from being shut out in the second half of a 23-14 loss to New England. Here are some things to watch for when the Broncos visit the Chargers: What’s the matter with Manning?

Fantasy players are mad because Manning’s touchdown streak came to a halt at 51 games, three shy of Drew Brees’ NFL record. Plus, he was picked off twice for the fourth time in the past six games. Plus, people wonder why the Broncos are running the ball more. “I don’t have a great answer for them, I guess,” Manning said. Really, coach? Chargers coach Mike McCoy refused to explain why he punted

on fourth-and-4 from the 50 while trailing the Patriots by nine points with more than six minutes left Sunday, other than his usual explanation that “I thought it was best for the football team.” The next day, he urged Chargers fans not to sell their tickets to Broncos fans. Last Sunday night, there were thousands of Patriots fans at Qualcomm Stadium. So there could be plenty of Broncos orange at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday.

Newsmakers Smith and Swift own the night at Jingle Ball in NYC

Taylor Swift

Sam Smith

NEW YORK — If you wanted to make a time capsule of what happened in pop music this year, Friday night’s Jingle Ball — the annual extravaganza held in Madison Square Garden put on by pop station Z100 — would most likely provide the most accurate account. There was Pharrell — with the hat— crooning his hit “Happy”; Iggy Azalea rapping and posturing as she breezed through “Fancy”; Jessie J and Ariana Grande playfully one-upping each other in the power-vocal showcase smash “Bang Bang”; and Meghan Trainor serving sass on what was arguably the song of the year, “All About That Bass.” But the king and queen of the night were Sam Smith and Taylor Swift. Their separate performances couldn’t have been less alike: Smith was all about stately R&B while Swift brought her perky pop. But they were the emotional highlights, capturing the hearts of fans who expressed their approval with shrieks. Smith, the newcomer who last week was nominated for six Grammys including record, song and album of the year, was the most unlikely pop star of the bunch; he sings traditional, downtempo soul songs and doesn’t dance.

Magicians stage effort to restore Houdini’s grave By Colleen Long The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Nestled next to the late Lewins, Blums and Levys in a spooky old cemetery in New York City lies the final resting place of America’s most legendary magician, interred under a granite monument that bears his stage name in bold letters: Houdini. It is an impressive tribute to the man who grew up as Ehrich Weiss and died on Halloween of 1926 of complications from appendicitis. Over the years, the site has been venerated, vandalized, thieved and forsaken, but a group of magicians now wants to officially end the mystery of who will care for the grave. “Houdini was a visionary. He was an inventor, an escape artist, and he gave back to society in so many ways,” said Dorothy Dietrich, a magician who runs a Houdini museum in Scranton, Pa. “It’s the least we can do to give back in some small way for all he’s given to us.” Dietrich serves on a national Society of American Magicians committee working to raise money to restore Houdini’s gravesite and allow for the permanent care of the monument at Machpelah Cemetery in Queens. It will cost about $1,200 annually to maintain the grounds, plus thousands more for restoration. Houdini was at the height of his fame when he purchased 24 plots at the 6-acre graveyard located in a swath of open space crowded with cemeteries. His parents and siblings are buried there. Even his grandmother was exhumed in Hungary and brought to New York. The gravesite features an undulating bench known as an exedra, plus a Houdini bust, a vase, two benches and markers for each person buried. A mosaic emblem of the magician society adorns the site; Houdini was president when he died. Cemetery managers say thanks to a steady stream of gawkers, the grave is usually stuffed with wands and other trinkets — plus refuse. They have done their part over the years to keep up the gravesite, but it’s their job to look out for all the dead — not just the famous dead. “I must respect all of the families there,” said manager David Jacobson. “It’s a sacred place for everyone there.” Most of Houdini’s relatives

have long since died and those left don’t have extra money to fund the upkeep, Dietrich said. The plot has Harry been cared Houdini for over the years by fans like Dietrich, who used her own money to mold and replace a broken bust and who travels to the cemetery to prune and clean. Dietrich took up the mantle after the local magician society chapter had a dispute with the cemetery and stopped paying annual fees. Depending on who tells it, spiteful cemetery managers were unwilling to work with Houdini fans and shuttered the site on the anniversary of his death. Or, magicians drumming up publicity for an annual Halloween gravesite ritual known as a “broken wand” ceremony also unwittingly brought vandals who trashed the site until Machpelah managers started locking the gates on Oct. 31 somewhere in the mid-1990s. Over the years, the bust was smashed or stolen at least twice. Benches at the plot perimeter were broken and markers for Houdini’s siblings Leopold and Gladys were damaged. The bad blood was captured in articles where cemetery managers were falsely accused of grave robbing and magicians were falsely accused of pilfering funds donated by David Copperfield to fix the gravesite benches. But that’s all over now, says David Bowers, head of the Houdini gravesite restoration committee. He said the national magician society — not the local chapter — is working with Dietrich and the cemetery to pay for the upkeep and plans to clean and recaulk the granite, give the mosaic a face lift and fix the damaged markers. He doesn’t have a cost estimate yet but says repairs will take two years. Anyone interested in donating can go to the society’s website to learn more, said Bowers of Chambersburg, Pa., who will become the society’s next president in July. After the group raises funds for Houdini’s grave, it will move on to other dearly departed magicians whose eternal resting places may need some sprucing.

AUTHENTICALLY DESIGNED HEATHER VAN LUCHENE & STEFFANY HOLLINGSWORTH

The design is simple but complex, Jane Gould says of her prefab Acorn Deck House.

Spare change A

s a followup to our recent article on purging, and considering the kinds of interiors we gravitate to, the word spare came to mind. It conjures many connotations; it is a philosophy that is becoming more commonly embraced by choice, values and/or necessity. In applying a sense of spare to the home or its interiors, several truisms are evident. Budgets are sparer than in times past, sparing resources is more of a priority, and people are overstimulated and have less spare time. A spare-no-expense mindset has become a thing of the past. The ’90s celebrated excess, but the economic meltdown in our recent past has given way to a conservative approach to choices and investments. This is no less applicable to interior design decisions, and a professional who is not tied to a particular outcome other than a client’s welfare and satisfaction can be a tremendous asset in this regard. Our job is to help clients make informed decisions as to what will be the best value and will best meet the program set forth for the project

and desired results. People are also more conscious of waste and think more about repurposing and sparing extras to apply in future projects. We embrace and support clients’ increasing predilection for reuse, and for making ecofriendly selections a priority as part of their design mission. They understand that resources — perhaps theirs and certainly the planet’s — are not infinite. And savvy clients know that the choices only continue to improve in appeal as technology advances and determination elevates. Appealing countertop options made of recycled materials like Ecostone, Okite and reclaimed wood, and fabrics made of renewable fibers such as bamboo, help make these decisions a win-win without compromise in aesthetics or values. The exploded pace in which we function in today’s world diminishes not only quality time for family and self, but forces a strategic mindset for prioritization of achieving objectives. We realize that letting professionals help achieve goals more effectively and in a fraction of the time it may take us is worth the investment in their services.

Additionally, we require an ampedup need for retreat and meditative opportunities whether at home, in a waiting room or during travel. This calls for a spare mantra of creating visual space to de-stimulate, turning off extraneous “noise” and going within. This mantra asks that the textures be nurturing, the lines and forms friendly and connective, and the palette soothing and welcoming. A spare interior should not connote emptiness or void; rather, every piece and element should contribute something enriching or functional. We emphasize that, as in any other profession, a qualified interior designer will be a good steward of resources, working to achieve an end goal that is wise, functional and nurturing to the soul. Heather Van Luchene, ASID, and Steffany Hollingsworth, ASID, are partners in HVL Interiors LLC, an interior design firm offering professional residential and hospitality design services. Both are licensed interior designers. They can be reached at 983-3601 or info@ hvlinteriors.com.

ACCOKEEK, Md. — Jane Gould lives in what could roughly be described as an upscale, upsized 21st-century version of the old Sears kit home. Her new house on a minimally cleared 5-acre wooded lot in Accokeek, Md., was crafted by Acorn Deck House in Acton, Mass., which shipped the prefabricated parts to the site for a local builder to put together. Unlike the old Sears models, Gould’s home has a barn-like look. The post-and-beam structure has soaring rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows — some on three sides — that allow sunlight and nature to flood in. Plus, it has custom features and is sustainable. “I love the interplay between inside and outside,” said Gould over coffee on a recent Saturday morning. Sitting at her dining table in a large, open area where the living and dining rooms and kitchen meet, a space surrounded by glass, Gould looked almost as if she were outside. Cambridge, Mass., architect Maryann Thompson designed the prototype, a pre-fabricated product line called “Hinge House,” which is supplied by Acorn Deck House. “I can tell a woman designed the house,” Gould

Landscape inspections are helpful to homebuyers By Dean Fosdick The Associated Press

Prudent house hunters usually await the results of a professional inspection before buying their dream home. All too often, though, one of the biggest contributors to a home’s value is neglected: the landscape. And that can prove costly. “I feel bad telling people who’ve already put their life’s savings into a new house that their sprinkler system is outdated or was installed wrong,” said Jeff Wolfe of Sun Wolfe Irrigation Inc. in Phoenix. The company’s services include irrigation and outdoor lighting inspection. “Now they’re facing big expenditures,” he said. “Depending on the size of the property, costs for a new irrigation system can vary from $2,000 to $20,000. The same goes for lighting systems.”

Landscape problems are more costly to correct when deferred, said Bruce Avery, an arborist with AAA Tree Experts Inc. in Tallahassee, Fla. “And the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets.” And inspections are increasingly important now that families are making more use of their outdoor living areas, he said. Pre-purchase landscape inspections should include such things as retaining walls, patios and decks, outdoor kitchens, water features, fireplaces and fire pits, irrigation systems, fencing, pools and spas, lighting, playgrounds, lawns and trees, Avery said. Regional considerations vary. “If you live in California, you’d probably want to know about wildfire hazards,” Avery said. “In Florida, hurricane prevention.” “Up north, ice and snow and their maintenance activities can cause landscape and hardscape

Inspections are increasingly important now that families are making more use of their outdoor living areas. damages,” he said. “Gulf Coast areas from Alabama to Texas are fighting invasive termites that attack healthy trees, and a similar pest in the Northeast coastal areas is expanding inland at a fast pace.” Large trees can be beautiful but also problematic, Avery said.

A crew clears debris from portions of a tree that collapsed across several properties in Tallahassee, Fla., in November. Even healthy trees can fail because of their size and weight. The role of a landscape inspector is to locate trees with predisposing faults like disease and cracks that can be pruned or removed before causing any damage. AAA TREE EXPERTS INC., BRUCE AVERY

have a new book out, which means I’m giving a lot of interviews, which means I keep getting asked the question authors most often get asked, which is “Why did you write this book?” This question keeps getting asked because it’s one you can ask even if you haven’t read the book, which many interviewers have not; plus, there’s a chance the answer will provide a clue as to what the book is about, thereby suggesting another question. Example: Question: Why did you write this book? Answer: Well, Jessica, I’ve always had an intense interest in morels. Question: So basically, this is a book Gene about doing the right thing? Weingarten Answer: It’s about mushrooms, JesThe Washington sica. Post I regret to say that most authors do not answer this all-purpose question honestly; if they did, they would all answer the way I always do. Jessica: So, Gene, why did you write this book? Me: To make as much money as possible. Jessica: Ha-ha! No, really. Me: To be fair to myself, that was not the only reason I wrote my book. My other reason became apparent at the very beginning of a recent interview I did on NPR. Host Maureen Fiedler said: “I am going to ask you to do something I never ask an author to do, ever. Please read the whole book.” She meant aloud, right there, on the air. So, I did. It took roughly a minute and a half. My new book is a picture book for 5-year-olds. It contains only 327 words. Norman Mailer never got paid as much per word as I did for this book. My point is, I didn’t just write this book to get as much money as possible. I also wanted to do as little work as possible. So after writing my 327 words, which took me upward of two days, I turned the “manuscript” over to cartoonist Eric Shansby, who spent more than a year illustrating it. Now, Eric is much younger than I am, and he is less well known, but I refused to use these facts to take advantage of him. Fair is fair. I split the book money evenly. In addition to getting interviewed, authors with new books also go to “book fairs,” which are events in which authors sit at tables with a pile of their books as people walk by and don’t buy them. The books. In a recent book fair, I was sitting next to Ralph Nader, who has a new book called Stop Blaming Me, Dammit. No, I’m kidding, though that is what he talks about a lot. His book, of course, is a serious examination of how the little guy is getting screwed. A few feet away was my editor Tom Shroder, who has a new book about the startling, controversial effectiveness of using LSD and ecstasy to treat PTSD. My book makes the ontological argument (to 5-year-olds) that there may be no God. And 10 feet away from all of us was a woman named Laura Gehl with her children’s book titled One Big Pair of Underwear. I leafed through it. It appears to be about one really giant pair of underpants. (From the promotional material: “When two bears contemplate sharing one pair of underwear, youngsters will be rolling in the aisles.”) As of this writing, according to Amazon.com, One Big Pair of Underwear is selling more copies than my book, and Tom’s and Ralph’s combined.
