PRC a model of indecision on ride-share firms
T
wo brothers once spotted a sizable hole in the marketplace for taxi services in New Mexico. They filled it by launching a cab company tailored to Spanish-speaking residents of Albuquerque’s South Valley. In short order, the state Public Regulation Commission fined and shuttered the upstart business. The five commissioners said the South Valley jitney service was not certified to transport passengers, even though it may have found an underserved part of the population. Times have changed. So have the faces and attitude of the Public Regulation Commission. Now it is a model of indecision when confronting wealthier transportation businesses that do not comply Milan with New Mexico’s laws but so Simonich far are free to compete with tradiRingside Seat tional cab companies. Two well-financed challengers to the taxi business are companies called Uber and Lyft Inc. Both try to define themselves as Internetbased ride-sharing services. Yet, like Yellow Cab or Capital City Cab, they make money from fares.

LGBT boomers face extra hurdles to retirement By Ken Sweet The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For Kathy Murphy, the difference between being gay or straight is $583 a month. Retirement should have been a “slam dunk,” the 62-year-old Texas widow says. She saved, bought a house with her spouse and has a pension through her employer. But Murphy’s golden years have not been as secure as they should have been. She is missing out on thousands of dollars a year in Social Security benefits simply because she was married to a woman, not a man. Murphy fell into a loophole in Social Security that denies survivor benefits to same-sex couples depending on what state they live in. Had Murphy and her wife, Sara Barker, lived next door in New Mexico, a state that does recognize same-sex marriage, this wouldn’t have been an issue. “If I had been straight, getting widow’s benefits would have been a slam dunk,” Murphy says. “I never thought I would live to see same-sex marriage, but the government still minimizes my marriage and my relationship of 32 years.”

When he returned to Santa Fe after college and work, Rochester was asked to join the cast of the comic drama Men’s Room, a play by local writer Bill Conroy produced by Santa Fe Performing Arts. He then joined the adult repertory and helped with classes for young people. He was assistant director of The Wizard of Oz, a combined age group production in 2004.

Hong Kong protesters, police clash; 40 arrested Pro-democracy movement met with officers armed with pepper spray, riot shields and batons By Kelvin Chan The Associated Press
HONG KONG ro-democracy protesters clashed with police early Monday as they tried to surround Hong Kong government headquarters, stepping up their movement for genuine democratic reforms after camping out on the city’s streets for more than two months. Repeating scenes that have become familiar since the movement began in late September, protesters carrying umbrellas — which have become symbols of the pro-democracy movement — battled police armed with pepper spray, batons and riot shields. After student leaders told a big crowd rallying Sunday evening at the main protest site outside government headquarters that they would escalate their campaign, hundreds of protesters pushed past police lines on the other side of the complex from the protest site. They blocked traffic on a main road, but were stopped by police barricades from going down a side road to Chief Executive Leung Chun-Ying’s office. The protesters, many wearing surgical masks, hard hats and safety goggles and chanting “I want true democracy,” said they wanted to occupy the road to prevent Leung and other government officials from getting to work in the morning. At one point, police charged the crowd, aggressively pushing demonstrators back with pepper spray and batons, after some protesters started pelting them with water bottles and other objects. They later fell back, letting demonstrators re-occupy the road. Police Senior Superintendent Tsui Wai-hung said 40 protesters had been arrested, adding that authorities would not let the road, a major thor-

oughfare, remain blocked. “We will open up this road,” he told reporters. Protesters said they were taking action to force a response from Hong Kong’s government, which has made little effort to address their demands that it scrap a plan by China’s Communist leaders to use a panel of Beijing-friendly elites to screen candidates for Hong Kong’s leader in inaugural 2017 elections. “The action was aimed at paralyzing the government’s operation,” said Alex Chow, secretary general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. “The government has been stalling … and we believe we need to focus pressure on the government headquarters, the symbol of the government’s power.” The federation is one of two students groups that have played important roles in organizing the protest movement in the former British colony. “I really want to have real elections for Hong Kong because I don’t want the Chinese government to control us, our minds, anything,” said protester Ernie Kwok, 21, a maintenance worker and part-time student. Authorities last week used an aggressive operation to clear out the protest camp on the busy streets of Hong Kong’s crowded Mong Kok district, one of three protest zones around the semiautonomous city. In Britain, a lawmakers’ committee said the Chinese Embassy had warned that its members would be refused entry if they tried to go ahead with a visit to Hong Kong as part of an inquiry into the city’s relations with the U.K. since the handover of sovereignty to China in 1997. Richard Ottaway, chairman of Parliament’s committee on foreign affairs, said the Chinese authorities were acting in an “overtly confrontational manner.” He said he would seek an emergency parliamentary debate on the development. The Foreign Office called the Chinese message to the lawmakers “regrettable” and said it has expressed its position to the Chinese side “at the most senior levels.”
LONDON — Two months ago, the World Health Organization launched an ambitious plan to stop the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa, aiming to isolate 70 percent of the sick and safely bury 70 percent of the victims in the three hardest-hit countries — Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone — by Dec. 1. Only Guinea is on track to meet the Dec. 1 goal, according to an update from WHO. In Liberia, only 23 percent of cases are isolated and 26 percent of the needed burial teams are in place. In Sierra Leone, about 40 percent of cases are isolated while 27 percent of burial teams are operational. With the target date looming on Monday, it looks almost certain WHO’s goals will be missed, marking another failure in attempts to slow the biggest-ever outbreak of the deadly disease. The Ebola outbreak was first reported in Guinea in March and spiraled out of control after being declared a public health emergency in August.
Retail group: Spending, traffic falls for holiday weekend NEW YORK — Black Friday fatigue is setting in. Early discounting, more online shopping and a mixed economy meant fewer people shopped over Thanksgiving weekend, the National Retail Federation said Sunday. Overall, 133.7 million people shopped in stores and online over the four-day weekend, down 5.2 percent from last year, according to a survey of 4,631 people conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics for the trade group. Total spending for the weekend is expected to fall 11 percent to $50.9 billion from an estimated $57.4 billion last year, the trade group estimated. Part of the reason is that Target, J.C. Penney, Macy’s, Wal-Mart and other major retailers pushed fat discounts as early as Halloween. Some opened stores even earlier on Thanksgiving. All that stole some thunder from Black Friday and the rest of the weekend.
Police: Three South Africans killed in Afghan attack KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban suicide attackers killed the South African leader of a foreign aid group, his son and daughter and an Afghan worker in an assault on the agency’s Kabul offices, authorities said Sunday, as the city’s police chief resigned in the wake of the latest insurgent attack there. Police chief Gen. Mohammed Zahir told reporters before his resignation that the attack Saturday actually killed four people, raising the death toll in the assault near the Afghan parliament. He offered no other details about the victims and did not name the aid group. A Redlands, Calif.-based group called Partnership in Academics and Development later posted a notice on its website saying several of its staffers died during an attack Saturday in Kabul.

Pope demands end to ISIS persecution of Christians ISTANBUL — Pope Francis and the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians demanded an end to the persecution of religious minorities in Syria and Iraq on Sunday and called for a “constructive dialogue” with Muslims, capping the pontiff’s three-day visit to Turkey with a strong show of Christian unity in the face of suffering and violence. Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I issued a joint declaration urging leaders in the region to intensify assistance to victims of the Islamic State group, and especially to allow Christians who have had a presence in the region for 2,000 years to remain on their native lands. Specifically, Francis told reporters on the way home from Istanbul that all Islamic leaders — political, religious, academic — should clearly condemn terrorism so that their people hear it directly from their mouths. “We need a global condemnation — including from Muslims — who say ‘This isn’t who we are. This isn’t the Quran,’ ” he said.
Congress squeezes agenda into two weeks WASHINGTON — Like a student who waited until the night before a deadline, lawmakers resuming work Monday will try to cram two years of leftover business into two weeks, while also seeking to avoid a government shutdown. Their to-do list includes keeping the government running into the new year, renewing expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses and approving a defense policy measure that has passed for more than 50 years in a row. Also pending are President Barack Obama’s requests for money to combat Islamic State militants, battle Ebola and deal with the influx of unaccompanied Central American children who have crossed into the U.S. Among the lower-profile items on the agenda are renewing the government’s terrorism risk insurance program and extending the ban on state and federal taxes on access to the Internet. That’s a lot to get done before the current Congress adjourns in mid-December. The new Congress, with Republicans in charge of both the House and Senate, will be seated the week of Jan. 5. Obama’s move to protect millions of immigrants from deportation proceedings and make them eligible for work permits appears to have made it more difficult to navigate the must-do items through a Capitol where cooperation already was in short supply. The No. 1 item is preventing a government closure when a temporary funding measure expires Dec. 11. The House and Senate Appropriations committees are negotiating a $1 trillion-plus spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1 and are promising to have it ready by the week of Dec. 8. The tax-writing committees are trying to renew a bundle of expired tax breaks such as the deduction for state and local sales taxes and the research and experimentation credit. Some, like tax credits for renewable energy. The House has passed legislation that would make several of the tax breaks permanent; the Senate’s approach has been to extend them only for 2014 and 2015. Negotiators appeared to near an agreement last week only to have the White House put it on ice with a veto threat. The administration said an emerging plan by House Republicans and top Senate Democrats was tilted too far in favor of businesses.

A doctor in Qatar who conducted Gloria’s autopsy determined that dehydration and wasting disease were the cause of death. The Huangs have maintained their innocence and say Gloria suffered from medical problems complicated by unusual eating habits that included periods of binging and self-starvation.

Murphy could be thought of as just one of the many baby boomers who are not prepared for retirement. But while the group overall is not ready to stop working, gay boomers face challenges that make them even more vulnerable, experts say. For many, decades of workplace discrimination impaired their earning power. The AIDS crisis caused lasting financial and psychological damage, particularly for gay men. And legal pitfalls within Social Security, the cornerstone in any senior’s financial planning, have left gay boomers ill-equipped for retirement. Same-sex couples in general are likely to have saved far less for retirement than their straight counterparts, according to an exclusive analysis of the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The center is jointly operated by The Associated Press and NORC, a leading research center at the University of Chicago. The median retirement savings for a same-sex couple is roughly $66,000, while straight married couples have roughly $88,000, according to the data, which looks at the finances of straight and same-sex couples aged 19 to 95 going back to 2001. This data, as well as other studies, show that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults tend to be poorer, in worse health, and most often, alone — with no family to care for them when they reach old age. “In the aging world, there has been little regard for even the existence of LGBT older people, let alone their particular social and financial needs,” says Michael Adams, executive director of SAGE, a national organization focused on social services and advocacy for LGBT seniors. When financial firm Prudential asked LGBT adults aged 25 to 68 last year if they were “well prepared” for retirement, only 14 percent said they were, compared with 29 percent of the total population. And in a sad irony, many of the aging pioneers of gay rights are too old to reap the retirement benefits from the marriage laws they championed.
Jim Albaugh, who shares a New York apartment with two roommates, could be thought of as just one of the untold millions of baby boomers who are not prepared for retirement. But he represents something more as one of thousands of gay and lesbian boomers confronting more financial hardship in retirement than their straight peers. JULIE JACOBSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
with the recent expansion of gay marriage, same-sex couples still face discrimination when it comes to benefits. When a husband or wife in a straight marriage dies, their spouses can typically collect Social Security benefits based on the higher earner’s work history. Not so for many gay spouses. Only widows or widowers in states that recognize same-sex marriage can get that higher income. Why? Social Security differs from most federal programs in that the law requires it to use individual states’ definition of marriage. That requirement is why the Obama Administration was unable to extend Social Security benefits to all samesex couples nationwide, even after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act last year. Before then, the federal government did not recognize same-sex marriage at all, even in states where it was legal. Domestic partnerships are still unrecognized by the federal government. In Florida, Arlene Goldberg faces a retirement of significantly less income. When her partner of 47 years, Carol Goldwasser, died in March, Goldberg was denied her wife’s Social Lower earnings Security survivor benefits on Gays and lesbians have faced the basis that Florida does not recognize same-sex marriage. higher unemployment, lower Goldwasser’s death certificate wages and a workplace where said “single, never married,” discrimination based upon sexeven though the couple wed ual orientation was common. in New York in 2011.

money, but it’s about fairness,” Murphy says. This isn’t the first time state marriage laws and Social Security has been at odds. The denial of benefits to mixedrace couples was cited by the Supreme Court in 1967, when it struck down laws that barred black and whites from marrying. For gay couples, the state laws that block federal benefits amount to similar discrimination, advocates say. Government agencies have little understanding of the scope of problems facing the LGBT demographic. The Administration on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, collects data on aging minority groups such as African Americans, Native Americans and Hispanics, but not on gay individuals. This is important because the federal government allocates money toward specific elderly programs based on these surveys. The White House has called for legislation to allow samesex couples to access survivor benefits in all states. It also has asked for an update of the Older Americans Act to authorize data collection on LGBT individuals. However, there has been little momentum in Congress to take up these issues. “We’re not talking about some fringe benefit here,” says SAGE’s Adams. “Social Security is the most important financial resource for older Americans in this country, and this is just as true for LGBT older Americans.”
The shadow of AIDS Bill C. was never supposed to reach retirement. Diagnosed with HIV in the late 1980s, he spent three years in and out of hospitals with AIDS-related infections, watching helplessly as dozens of his friends died. The 67-year-old, who did not want his last name used for fear his HIV status would negatively impact his acting career, chose to live for what moments he thought he had left. He cashed in his retirement savings and bought a waterfront home on Long Island he knew he couldn’t afford. There he thought he’d spend his days sailing, fishing and riding horses until the disease took him. He nearly died a handful of times, spending much of 1995, 1996 and 1997 in the hospital. He had to shutter his fabric business. And the dream house where he was supposed to live out the rest of his life? It was taken by the bank in 1995. Like Bill C., many long-term AIDS survivors interviewed by the AP talked about poor financial decisions they made in the 1980s and 1990s — when they believed they were facing a death
sentence — and are now paying for as they enter retirement. The advent of life-prolonging antiretroviral “cocktail” therapies in the late 1990s helped end that fatalistic outlook, but by then, HIV-positive baby boomers had lost a decade or more of savings time. Those who had cashed in their retirement funds had to start saving again. Those who had AIDS-related infections went on workplace disability, stunting their savings potential. “A lot of people who had jobs and financial resources before they became sick were then stuck in some relatively permanent status of financial disarray,” says Sean Strub, the founder of POZ, a New York-based magazine focused on the HIVpositive community. Jim Albaugh is one of these people. Diagnosed with HIV in 1987, then AIDS in 1990, Albaugh was in and out of hospitals. But after coming back from the brink of death, he faces a different crisis: He can’t work as much as before he was sick and has little savings. When the 55-year-old former actor does save, “something pops up and it’s gone.” Recently, he says, he was “lucky” to buy a new pair of shoes. Without the public support programs that help him with his New York City rent, he would not be able to get by. Albaugh has 10 years before he hits retirement age. But when asked about it, he says: “I don’t think about retirement because I don’t believe I will have one.” He can’t work as much as before and has fallen behind on saving for retirement. “I was working 40 hours a week and I ended up twice in the hospital,” he says. “It took me a long time to realize I couldn’t work as much as I really wanted.” Albaugh hopes to wean himself off some public aid programs in the next couple years but acknowledges that he’ll need others, like Social Security disability. “I’ll work as hard as I can until I can work no more. After that,” he says, his voice trailing off, “I don’t know what I will do.”

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Canutito ‘hace’ dig ‘hasta’ China
Las maravillas de la buena historia CHICAGO na buena historia puede transportarlo a uno a lugares donde nunca ha estado y dejarlo con la sensación de haber vivido, respirado y disfrutado sus deleites. La novelista Ann Patchett — quien este año me llevó a los clubes mágicos de Los Ángeles, a un hogar para madres solteras en la zona rural de Kentucky y a una toma con rehenes en el palacio de un vicepresidente sudamericano — lo expresa de mejor manera: “Leer ficción es importante. Es una Esther manera vital de imaginar Cepeda la vida de otra persona, Comentario lo cual a su vez nos convierte en seres humanos más empáticos.” Igualmente importante es la literatura que nos une, no por colocarnos en los zapatos de otra persona sino por bañarnos en emociones familiares en nuestros papeles de hijos, padres y amantes. ¿Qué puede ser más universal que nuestros mezquinos celos, horribles temores y profundas risotadas? Por eso, durante las fiestas me gusta celebrar algunos libros en una categoría que llamo “Grandes libros que son diversos pero que no tratan de la diversidad.” Este año ya elogié un libro sobre la voluntad de triunfar contra todo obstáculo — Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina por Misty Copeland, que relata las dificultades por las que pasa una estrella de ballet negra. Y me deshice en elogios sobre Cien años de soledad, de Gabriel García Márquez, que trata, en realidad, de la demencia de una familia, cuyas generaciones observan la asombrosa y veloz transformación del mundo, aunque generalmente se lo considera como un ejemplo del realismo mágico latinoamericano. Pero he aquí otros tres títulos que van más allá de ofrecer el mero vislumbre de una cultura —nos desafían a considerar lo que compartimos como seres humanos. Primero, At Night We Walk in Circles, de Daniel Alarcón, cuya acción se desarrolla en algún lugar cerca del Ecuador a mediados de la década de 1980, es indescriptible — en el mejor de los sentidos. No trata sobre el periodismo, el amor en la juventud, la cárcel, la política ni el tipo de aprietos en que se encuentran los jóvenes en momentos cruciales de su adultez temprana. Pero toca todos esos temas con una prosa tan hermosa y desgarradora que uno siente llegar a las páginas finales de este apasionante relato. Después, recomiendo Please Look After Mom, de Kyung-sook Shin, un libro que me hizo sentir llena de vergüenza y tristeza por no reconocer más a mi propia madre hasta hacerme lagrimear. La historia, que tiene lugar en Corea del Sur, cuenta la historia de la ordinaria familia de Park So-nyo, madre y esposa que se pierde en una abarrotada estación de trenes y cobra una importancia mucho mayor para su clan durante su ausencia que durante su anterior presencia. ¿No es eso siempre así? Una madre tiene prácticamente que desparecer de la tierra para que los que se supone que deben apreciarla más, reconozcan su valor. Hasta un “Hijo o hija del año” se sentirá como un canalla después de leer esta fascinante narración de varias generaciones de coreanos en un país cambiante. El último es un libro que me gustó particularmente porque aunque fue escrito por un hispano de nombre Daniel Suarez, no tiene nada que ver con la cultura hispana. Suarez escribe ciencia-ficción clásica. Quiero decir, ciencia-ficción a ultranza, genuina y cimentada en la credibilidad del autor como consultor tecnológico y en su información. Si el término Oficina Federal de Control Tecnológico no despierta su imaginación, no se molesten. Influx, el cuarto tecno-thriller de Suarez, es, según The Wall Street Journal, el tipo de literatura que los altos mandos militares, los miembros de la comunidad de inteligencia y los tecnócratas encargados de la seguridad cibernética leen como diversión — y después utilizan para considerar un “diálogo apropiado sobre asuntos relevantes.” Siguiendo la historia de escape de un científico, creador de un milagroso “espejo de la gravedad,” que más tarde es arrebatado por la misteriosa Oficina de Control Tecnológico para sus fechorías, Suarez brinda a sus lectores escenas de tecno-tortura y también empatía por una hermosa mujer, no del todo humana. Finalmente, Suarez utiliza superconductores quirales, procesadores de quantum microscópicos y pistolas de positrones para ayudarnos a superar nuestros temores sobre lo que verdaderamente nos separa a los mortales de la omnisciencia de nuestras máquinas. Pista: No es la nacionalidad, la raza, el género, la religión ni la cultura. Es mucho más que eso.

U El maestro sustituto Galen Sánchez en una clase literatura de 10mo grado el lunes en Capital High. Las Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe tienen 240 sustitutos y necesitan 60 más. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN
Distrito lidia contra escasez de maestros sustitutos Por Robert Nott The New Mexican
as Escuelas Públicas de Santa Fe se enfrentan ante una escasez de maestros sustitutos, mientras aquellos en las trincheras saben por qué. El pago — $75 a $90 por día, dependiendo del nivel académico del sustituto — es bajo y un aumento es poco probable. La falta de respeto de los estudiantes es otro factor. Aunado al miedo a cubrir un tema desconocido en clase mientras el maestro está ausente. La situación es tan aguda que en ocasiones el distrito se ve forzado a sacar asistentes de las clases de educación especial para cubrir a algún profesor ausente cuando no hay maestro sustitutos, a costa de los alumnos de educación especial. El distrito, el cual cuenta con 240 maestros sustitutos y necesita otros 60, está solicitando a los directores de las escuelas promover la necesidad de sustitutos en las marquesinas escolares. Además el distrito ha comenzado un proceso de orientación para posibles candidatos, con la finalidad de darles una idea sobre la posición y eliminar a aquellos que no están interesados. Los líderes del distrito enfatizan que el sustituir es una gran oportunidad para aquellos que consideran iniciarse en educación, maestros jubilados que extrañan el salón de clases y cualquiera que busca un empleo flexible de medio tiempo que ofrece variedad. Galen Sánchez, 68, disfruta sustituir. Él prefiere trabajar en Capital High School, donde ha creado un lazo con los estudiantes y los maestros. “Soy parte de la estabilidad en la vida de estos jóvenes,” comenta mientras recibe a los estudiantes un lunes por la mañana en la clase de literatura. “Los sustitutos que entran y salen no crean ese tipo de conexión. … Los jóvenes necesitan sentirse seguros contigo.” Sicólogo de profesión, Sanchez enseñó en el Santa Fe Community College por varias años y comenzó a sustituir en las escuelas públicas hace dos años y medio. Ha sustituido en primaria, secundaria y preparatoria, pero Capital es su favorita debido a la energía de la administración y los estudiantes, dice. Sanchez comenta que sabe que su trabajo prin-
L
cipal no es enseñar. Los sustitutos seguido hacen equipo con otros sustitutos o maestros — profesores que venden su tiempo para preparar clases para ir a enseñar en otra clase — haciendo el rol de un asistente de maestro. “Para ellos lo importante es ocupar el espacio,” dice. “Si puedes mantener el control en el salón por un día, es más que suficiente.” Al fondo del pasillo, la sustituta Olivia Romero se presenta ante un grupo de estudiantes de álgebra del cual su maestro se jubiló de manera repentina. Romero probablemente estará ahí hasta finalizar el año escolar. Como maestra jubilada que trabajó por 30 años en educación especial, Romero se siente cómoda en el salón de clases. Ella combina sus experiencia en educación con su habilidad para adaptar lecciones de álgebra, aún que no es una experta en la materia. Más tarde en ese mismo día, sustituirá en una clase de biología, comentó. Ella sustituye un promedio de tres días a la semana. Romero menciona que le llevará un día o dos para conocer a los estudiantes. Casi inmediatamente, les solicita mostrar su gafete de estudiante para saber sus nombres. La mayoría de los estudiantes lo muestran respetuosamente y en silencio siguen las instrucciones, excepto por un joven que saca su iPhone y juega con él. Romero le pide que lo guarde. El estudiante del iPhone dice después que los sustitutos deben estar ahí para entretenerlos. Romero piensa que el distrito enfrenta una escasez porque la gente que no está acostumbrada al salón de clases tiene miedo de enfrentarse a los alumnos. “No quieren que se les falte al respeto,” dice. Los candidatos deben tener al menos 18 años y contar con un certificado de preparatoria o GED para trabajar en los grados preescolar a octavo y al menos 21 años para sustituir en los grados del 9 a 12. También deben obtener una licencia de maestro sustituto del estado y someterse a un análisis de antecedentes, entre otros requisitos. Aquellos sin un título universitario sólo ocupará posiciones de asistentes o de oficina y ganarán $75 al día. Traducción de Patricia De Dios para The New Mexican.

na tardecita Canutito estaba mirando el world atlas. He was seeing qué countries hacían border a los otros countries. Era la primera vez que he had realized que tan grande el mundo was. Hizo notice que France estaba next to Germany y que Germany estaba next to Poland y que Poland llegaba hasta Russia y que Russia estaba al north de Mongolia y de China tamLarry Torres bién. “¿Qué tan lejos Growing up está China de los Spanglish United States, grama?” el muchacho asked Grama Cuca con una gran curiosidad. “Uuu, m’hijo,” Grama Cuca began, “China está muy lejos de aquí. In fact, está on the other side del mundo from los Estados Unidos. Cuando yo estaba en el elementary school el maestro used to tell us que si hacíamos dig straight down en este lado del mundo we would eventually dig through all the way hasta China.” “And my teacher le dijo a la clase,” said Grampo Caralampio, coming into la cocina, “Que si todas las personas en China hacían jump down de una mesa at the same time, podían causar un earthquake so strong que podía hacer destroy todo on this side del mundo.” La imaginación de Canutito estaba running wild. He could hardly wait until la mañana para ir a dig his way to China. “Si vas a escarbar your way to China,” Grama Cuca warned him, “make sure to dig en un lugar dónde the dirt es soft; right now está frozen.” The following morning Canutito se levantó real early and went outside. He felt la tierra with his foot pero much of the earth estaba frozen. Finally he found un lugar next to the corral dónde la tierra estaba soft enough to dig. He went and got una pala del garage and with that shovel he began to dig. At first no hizo dig up nada más que dos earthworms. He was surprised que those two lombrices were there in the tierra fría. Después de unos minutos though, Canutito began to find cosas that were kind of strange. Cuando he dug up a pair of chopsticks se puso todo excited porque he knew que los Chinese-os used those palillos de bamboo de eat. Canutito started to escarbar faster and faster. Pronto halló an old bottle of soy sauce. He got really excitão ahora porque he just knew que pronto iba a llegar hasta China. He began to wonder if he would be able de comunicarse con ellos since que él no hablaba en Chinese. Mientras que estaba pensando, he dug up un basín viejo and he was sure que it was used por los Chinese-os to haul water pa’la casa. Ahora Canutito took off his coat porque with all of this work estaba sudando. Pero he didn’t mind sweating porque pronto he would be walking por los caminos de Peking o hasta Shanghai. Continuó escarbando with his shovel. Next he found un yugo quebrão pero he was sure de que this broken yoke probably belonged to a team of oxen que los Chinese-os used to plow su plow en los rice patties. Se puso más excited than ever. He dug con más ánimo. Now he was getting to a real soft place en la tierra. Canutito lay down on his belly y así, acostado de panza he stuck his hand through the soil a ver si podía feel algo. He felt algo round and smooth and he was sure de que era la cabeza de una Chinese persona pero it turned out to be nada más que un light bulb. Now Canutito really stretched his hand para adentro de la tierra; he just had to reach hasta China. Cuando he felt algo squishy he pulled it quickly pa’arriba para ver qué era. Much to his desgusto it turned out to be una caca. He quickly tossed that turd aside and ran back pa’la casa to wash his hands. Grampo y grama were sitting en la cocina. “Did you dig hasta China, m’hijo?” grama asked al muchachito. “Yo no quiero dig más hasta China,” said Canutito. “It stinks allí,” he said, running a lavarse las manos. “I bet you que estaba haciendo dig allá where I dumped todo el garbage into the old outhouse,” grampo remarcó …

Study: Kids in all-day preschool do better By Sonja Elmquist Bloomberg News
NEW YORK — Full-day preschool may prepare children better for learning and social development than part-time programs, new research showed, bolstering the case for putting kids in classrooms at younger ages. The findings from a study of 982 lowincome and ethnic-minority 3- and 4-yearolds, enrolled in Chicago’s Child-Parent Center Education Program, are reported in Wednesday’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. They found that full-day programs improved four of six measures of school readiness as well as attendance. “You can just go so much further in all the domains of learning in a seven-hour program,” Arthur J. Reynolds, a researcher at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis who led the study, said in an interview. “These 30 to 40 percent differences in preschool turn

Adelante is working with other local organizations, including the Solace Crisis Treatment Center and Native American Student Services, to create this holiday gift fair to raise funds for the more than 1,000 homeless students and their families within the school districts.

into bigger benefits over time.” The findings support the arguments of advocates who seek to expand early education more widely in the United States. President Barack Obama has pushed for Congress to fund an expansion of all-day kindergarten and to make pre-kindergarten universal, saying that spending on the youngest students will pay off with better performance throughout their school years and careers. The researchers found that children spending full days at CPC, the nation’s oldest federally funded preschool program after Head Start, had better socio-emotional development, language, math and physical health, as rated by teachers, than peers in half-day programs. Longer preschool didn’t affect all aspects of a child’s performance, according to the study. Literacy and cognition were similar whether preschoolers were full-time or parttime. Children in both groups went to preschool

Sending children to preschool for seven hours a day instead of three can also benefit their parents by freeing up time to pursue their own career or education, as well as increasing access for families that might not enroll in half-day programs, the study said. “As the demand for preschool programs shifts from part-day to full-day, it is important to know whether this shift is educationally valuable as well,” Lawrence J. Schweinhart, president of the HighScope Educational Research Foundation in Ann Arbor, Mich., wrote in an accompanying editorial. What’s left for debate, he said, is whether the benefits of full days versus a few hours were enough to justify the expense of providing longer preschool hours.

SFCC GOVERNING BOARD ELECTION SET The Santa Fe Community College’s Governing Board recently approved the upcoming 2015 Board Election Resolution. Three positions on the board will be filled during the election on Feb. 3, 2015 — and voters can also cast ballots for Santa Fe Public Schools’ board candidates in this election that day. Anyone interested in filing as a candidate for the college’s board must file a declaration and sworn statement of intent with the County Clerk’s Office by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16. Governing Board Chairwoman Linda Siegle, one of three board members whose six-year terms expire early next year, has publicly announced that she intends to run again for her Position 1 seat. Board member Chris
Abeyta, also up for re-election, said he may not decide to declare for his Position 4 seat until Dec. 16. Board member Pablo Sedillo, who took Position 2 vacated by former board member Andrea Bermúdez after she resigned last year, serves in an unexpired term but said he plans to run to serve out the remaining two years on that six-year term. ONE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING LEFT THIS YEAR Santa Fe Public Schools canceled its planned Tuesday board meeting but will hold one more board meeting — at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16 — before the end of the calendar year.

Preparing more New Mexicans for health jobs
N
ew Mexico may continue to trail the nation in recovering from the recession, but there is good news for those seeking employment in the field of health care. Santa Fe Community College was recently awarded a nearly $15 million grant through the U.S. Department of Labor to train New Mexicans for jobs in some of today’s most in-demand occupations. The grant, formally titled Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training, will allow SFCC to bring 11 community colleges and more than 35 employers together to proMY VIEW vide resources for adults who need RANDY W. training in basic skills. The funds come at a good time. GRISSOM New Mexico is a state with a profound skills gap, where jobs in health care go unfilled and many workers remain unemployed. In addition, thousands of New Mexicans lost good-paying jobs when their businesses left the state, and still more thousands of veterans are returning from active duty and looking for work. According to the Affordable Care Act, New Mexico is expected to be fourth in the nation with a population of 65-and-older residents by 2030. The Health Services and Resources Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has designated almost the entire state of New Mexico as a health professional shortage and medically underserved area. Health care employment in Northern New Mexico is projected to increase 28 percent by 2019. The demand for home health aides is anticipated to grow by 60 percent, demand for nurses by 26 percent, paramedics by 24 percent, and medical assistants by 21 percent. The demand for health information technicians is expected to grow by 16 percent. The grant-funded coalition led by SFCC will prepare New Mexicans for these jobs. How will we accomplish this? In Northern New Mexico, the grant will help SFCC partner with The University of New Mexico-Los Alamos and The University of New Mexico-Taos to provide courses through the Skill Up Network: Pathways Acceleration in Technology and Healthcare (SUN PATH). Our three institutions and the other community colleges around the state that are part of the coalition will develop new and expanded curriculum and career pathways in the targeted areas. One of the best features of the new program is that coursework is accelerated to help students complete a certificate or degree as quickly as possible. Another highlight is the commitment to develop close partnerships with employers so that graduates are ready to work in positions of responsibility that are in demand. Who will benefit from this grant-funded approach to education and training? A good example is that of medics who come back from deployment and have skills that can be applied in emergency medical technician or paramedic jobs. A veteran in communications may have technical aptitudes that can lead to a job in the growing field of health information technology. With credit for prior learning, veterans may be awarded academic credit for their military service, putting them on the fast track through the program and into a good-paying job. Working with the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions, SFCC and the other community colleges under the grant will strengthen the links between workers and workforce resources, including hiring Job Development Career Coaches on campus who are employed by the state’s Department of Workforce Solutions. Employers are working hand in hand with the colleges to develop programs, provide internships and clinical experience, and to help place students into jobs. Employers also serve on the project’s leadership team to help implement program strategies and goals, identify the necessary skills and competencies for the programs and assist with curriculum development. Randy W. Grissom is president of Santa Fe Community College.

Beekeepers eye Appalachian mines for hives Flattened mountaintops now buzzing back to life in West Virgina By Jonathan Mattise The Associated Press
HERNSHAW, W.Va. p a tree-lined trail still marked “no blastin’ on Sundays,” swarms of bees now patrol a mountain once partially broken apart for coal. It’s been 15 years since the severed West Virginia mountainside produced any of the fossil fuel. Pritchard Mining Company has filled the adjacent valley with broken-off rocks, re-sloped the mountain and planted new trees and flora. “Mining for honey” is the new extractive business here, one with no impact on the land. Behind two security gates, seven small hive boxes are surrounded by a short electric wire fence, which helps fend off hungry adversaries of honey producers. “Our biggest threat is the bear,” Wade Stiltner, state Department of Agriculture apiary inspector, said earlier this month before flipping on the voltage. In Appalachia, beekeepers say reclaimed surface mines make a lot of sense for the trade. The controversial mining method often involves scraping off sides of mountains or literally blowing off their peaks for coal, and filling nearby valleys and streams with the remnants. Environmental groups decry the footprint left on the land and polluting and health impact possibilities of what’s being dumped. Several also say repurposing the land gives the industry a free pass to divert attention away from the harm being done. “It’s a creative use for wasteland,” said Vivian Stockman of the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition. “Of course, I don’t know if it can match the scale of the destruction we have. That would be a lot of beehives.” But for bees, which fly about 2 miles in any direction from their hives, the result sounds pretty good: expansive areas that coal companies restored, replanted and relined. They can grow young flowering plants and trees across hundreds of continuous square acres, all at once. “The stuff we plant in reclamation and restoration, the beekeepers love it,” said Bill Raney, West Virginia Coal Association president. Since April, West Virginia has test run its tiny beekeeping operation on one former surface mine. The first year yielded more than 400 pounds of honey, which exceeded expectations and was an easy sell. Kentucky provided a formula to follow. The Coal Country Beeworks program, which started in 2008 and

uses various coal company partnerships and grants, includes 35 bee boxes at five mine sites and research with Eastern Kentucky University. A transition in leadership, not to mention skunks, bears and a bad winter, cut the hives down from about 80. “We don’t have to teach appreciation for bees. Many people already have it,” said Tammy Horn, Kentucky state apiarist and former head of Coal Country Beeworks. “And we have unique varietals, which make our honey quite unique.” Next, West Virginia wants to introduce beekeeping training for veterans and out-of-work coal miners, install hives at other mines and provide honey from the initiative in schools. Stiltner, a former underground miner himself, said there’s no specific testing of the honey from strip mines, as some environmentalists are urging. But he said nothing is getting into the nectar of the plants, and pesticides aren’t being used. Dwindling honeybee populations need any boost they can get. Due to habitat loss and pesticide use, commercial honeybees have declined for more than a decade, threatening agricultural production. The sudden disappearance or death of honeybees, called colony collapse disorder, has exacerbated the problem. Winter losses have grown to up to 30 percent per year. Mites are also cited as part of the problem.

In February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a $3 million program to help dairy farmers and ranchers in five Midwestern states reseed pastures with plants appealing to both bees and livestock. The problem was also pressing enough that President Barack Obama formed a pollinator task force in June. In the two Appalachian states dabbling most in mine beekeeping, there’s no shortage of usable sites. Of course, bees don’t take up much space. The fenced-off site in West Virginia is less than 500 square feet, and another nine hives could fit there. The Associated Press reported in 2010 that more than 345,700 acres had been approved for post-mining uses in eastern Kentucky; only about 1.8 percent was used for commercial, industrial or residential development. Those figures dated to 1999. In West Virginia, covering about 84,800 acres of 218 mining permits awarded since 2001, only 7 percent was designated for industrial/commercial, public service or residential use. Federal law requires restoring surface mines to premining conditions. A provision allows exemptions for “higher or better uses,” often used for development projects. Golf courses, an airport, a prison, subdivisions and businesses have been constructed on reclaimed mine sites, though most are used for habitat, forest or pasture lands.

Rochester attended school in Los Alamos. He said he was a voracious reader (and still loves the young adult genre), but he never loved school.

After graduating, Rochester went to work for a regional accounting firm that was absorbed by a bigger company. He specialized in nonprofits and Indian nation audits.

PNM has proposed closing two of the four coal-fired units at San Juan Generating Station to reduce haze in the Four Corners region and appease federal regulators. The company wants to replace the power with a combination of nuclear, natural gas, solar and an additional 132-megawatt capacity from one of the two remaining coal-fired units. PNM owns most of the San Juan Generating Station, with the rights to 783 megawatts of power from the plant. The company also operates the power plant. If state regulators approve retiring two of the units, PNM will reduce its use of coal at San Juan Generating Station by 36 percent. New Mexico regulators are still months from deciding if they will approve the San Juan power replacement plan. A public hearing is scheduled for January. Besides potentially buying the San Juan coal mine, PNM is exploring the possibility of opening a new strip mine at Ute Mountain, a half-dozen miles from the power plant, with permission from the tribe. PNM customers need to start a larger conversation about where their power is coming from and who should pay the environmental price for producing it, said Mike Eisenfeld, who lives 10 miles from the San Juan Generating Station. “Our hope is that this will become more of a dialogue from people all across New Mexico and they will not just look the other way,” Eisenfeld said. “It is time to start giving a little more thought about this, instead of just that coal is burned in one place, with the environmental problems there, and the cheap benefits are enjoyed elsewhere like Santa Fe and Albuquerque.”
Ringside: Panel mostly patient with firms Continued from Page A-1 Independent contractors using their own cars drive the customers landed by Uber and Lyft, meaning they are similar to taxis, though without a ticking meter, a business license or enough insurance to cover a vehicle used for commercial purposes. The Public Regulation Commission, seldom a model of government efficiency, has let the transit battle simmer to a boil. Now the commission is at war with itself over what to do with Uber and Lyft. Valerie Espinoza, the Democratic public regulation commissioner representing Santa Fe, says dirty politics are enabling the new companies to flout New Mexico law. Espinoza has publicly accused fellow Commissioner Karen Montoya, D-Albuquerque, of malfeasance in promoting the interests of Uber and Lyft. Montoya’s campaign manager in 2012 is lobbying on behalf of Uber. For her part, Montoya says she has done nothing wrong. She says she simply likes the idea of new transit companies providing more service options for riders. Other members of the commission months ago actually issued a cease-anddesist order against Lyft Inc., but they say they can’t get state police to enforce it. Jason Marks, who was one of the better public regulation commissioners the state has had, is on the sidelines now. But Marks said the commission need not worry about police enforcement when it could go after the financial assets of transit companies that are operating unlawfully.
Marks likens Uber and Lyft to the retail powerhouse Wal-Mart. The transit newcomers may offer better prices to consumers than certified cab companies. Whether they also will eliminate jobs that pay a middleclass wage and replace them with part-time contract workers is another question to consider, Marks said. One enterprising Yellow Cab driver in Albuquerque, Leonard Daneman, said Uber and Lyft have taken away half his business. Daneman for 15 months has operated CallA-Cab, which riders can access through the Internet or broadband portable devices. The big differences between his company and Uber are that he takes no personal information from customers, and all the cars affiliated with Call-A-Cab are taxis in full compliance with state laws for insurance coverage and safety inspections. “I can’t argue that people love Lyft and Uber,” Daneman said. “But I did everything legally to go into business. Why can’t they?” A paralegal as well as a taxi driver, Daneman says the newcomers are breaking federal law against predatory pricing to destroy established companies. He says Uber and Lyft are in violation of the state’s motor carrier law, too. Many consumers don’t feel sorry for cab companies. Doug Howe, another former member of the Public Regulation Commission, says he knows why. “These two services have disrupted what are effectively monopolies,” Howe said. Howe said many people across the country have raised valid concerns about the
vehicles, drivers and insurance coverage of Uber and Lyft. A judge in Nevada just last week issued a preliminary injunction against Uber. The company suspended its service after that ruling. Howe, though, predicted that Uber and Lyft will establish their place in New Mexico’s market, either now or a bit later. “The public always decides what it is they want,” Howe said. American cab companies often are accused of grabbing the big fares while ignoring the poorest consumers. Residents of ghettos and low-income neighborhoods in the Eastern United States have long had trouble getting cab service. Drivers of certified companies say they will not risk their lives for a fare in dangerous territory. This led to the creation of illicit taxi companies, called jitneys, to serve rough or poor neighborhoods. The late, great August Wilson wrote about this world of haves and have nots in a play he simply called Jitney. When the brothers set up shop in Albuquerque, the Public Regulation Commission swiftly shut them down. The commissioners, except Espinoza and Ben Hall, R-Ruidoso, have been more gentle with the multibilliondollar companies collecting fares from customers bound for airports or nightspots. The Public Regulation Commission has much work to do, given its authority over electricity rates and coal-fired power plants. Yet it seems content to spend days in meeting after meeting on Uber and Lyft, companies that have cash flow the jitneys cannot match.
Albuquerque police found missing Santa Fe teen Samantha Martinez at the Coronado Mall on Saturday, Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Andrea Dobyns said. Martinez was reported missing Wednesday after she was last seen walking near Osage Avenue and Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe. The news that Martinez had been found came Sunday as Santa Fe police put out a report of another missing girl, 14-year-
old Kasandra Velande of Santa Fe, who disappeared between 1 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 a.m. Sunday. The Capital High School student is 5-foot-1 and weighs about 120 pounds, with brown hair and eyes, police said. The National Runaway Safeline reports that between 1.6 million and 2.8 million teens a year run away. Recent national reports indicate 75 percent of runaway teens are female.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Follow the rules to avoid citation R ecently, a column was printed about an aggressive Santa Fe animal control officer (“Dog catchers can be too aggressive,” Nov. 23). I have a dog, and I know for a fact that she is perfect in every way (just like the letter writer). I can appreciate, however, that if I had her off-leash somewhere that leashes are required, I would be breaking the law and subject to a citation. I recently had a conversation with a group of students who were complaining about getting in trouble in class. The students had been talking, and when the teacher asked them to change seats, their response was, “Why? We weren’t doing anything wrong. We were talking about the work.” The rule in class is no talking when the teacher is talking. They were breaking the rule. Their response, and the dog owner’s response, should have been, “Yes Ma’am.” Since when is it OK to question authority when you are clearly in the wrong?

Touching play
Dominique Mazeaud
Of all the tragic human stories in The New Mexican recently, the most disturbing of all was the article about Justin Hinzo (“Inmate to sue over 7 years of solitary confinement,” Nov. 19) in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day for the past seven years, in the Penitentiary of New Mexico. Imagine yourself in such a situation. Any human being could be expected to go insane, alone day and night in a concrete box, with no hope of change. If this is not cruel and inhumane treatment, what is?
I offer my congratulations to playwrights Dale Dunn and Lynn Goldman, director Randy Bennett and all to the actors in Left to Our Own Devices (which played at Warehouse 21 on Nov. 20 and 21). The play explores what humanness means in these technological times. This play gives voice to how hard it is to notice ourselves and each other when the Internet begs attention. How hard it is to make eye contact, to read more than a text message (let alone a book). The play illuminates what cruelty can do when it goes electronic. My thanks to everyone who made Left to Our Own Devices possible. Your humanity touched my humanity.

COMMENTARY: MARGARET CARLSON
wo standing ovations. That’s what Bill Cosby, in a “Hello Friend” sweatshirt and with a fist clenched above his head in defiance, received last month at a performance in his “Bill Cosby 77” tour at a Melbourne, Fla., theater. This fervid show of blind loyalty was only one shocker in a series of revelations about the man we once thought of as America’s Dad. More than dozen women, and counting, accusing Cosby of sexual assault. A former employee of NBC studios telling the New York Daily News that he guarded Cosby’s dressing room when models were brought in for “mentoring,” as well as providing copies of the money orders sent to keep them quiet. The lingering effect of Hannibal Buress calling Cosby a “rapist” during his comedy act. A tweet asking fans to create Cosby memes getting hijacked by his detractors. The most well-paid public relations team is having difficulty containing the damage. Even giving the Melbourne audience of 2,000 some leeway in the presence of a cultural icon, the outpouring is deeply disturbing. Sure, Cliff Huxtable was the perfect parent in The Cosby Show, the most popular sitcom of the 1980s. But if a fraction of what we’ve heard about Cosby is true, how could the crowd shout its approval? The sorry display could arise only from a blend of misogyny and denial. In that, this theater was like the wider world of the military barracks, college campuses, corporate suites and locker rooms where we treat sexual-assault victims as culprits, guilty until proved innocent. This despite studies showing that a scant 2 percent to 8 percent of charges of rape are false. Those in denial often cite the lack of criminal charges. But often that decision reflects not the prosecutor’s belief in the accused’s innocence but the difficulty of making charges stick. No one wants to believe the worst of respected men, and

More good news! A recent column (“Everybody wins at St. Michael’s,” The Dais, Nov. 17) has stayed with me. Because it is a sincere and compassionate picture of life at one high school but also way beyond, I have to include its writer, teacher Sarah Weisberg, as well as The New Mexican for publishing it, in my basket of thanks. I remember a time when legendary Mary Lou Cook and a couple of us met with former editor Rob Dean to impress upon him that a Good News column would be something appreciated by everyone. I had been clipping good news articles for some time, but then stopped. There were no more to be clipped!

often the “real rape” markers juries need — force, screams, bruises, a witness — are missing. Cosby’s minions think they can stonewall. Before Friday’s performance, his lawyer Martin Singer called the new claims “ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted.” Oh, but they did. In one lawsuit in 2005, Andrea Constand, a former director of women’s basketball at Temple University, assembled 13 “Jane Does” with similar allegations about assignations in studio bungalows, chauffeured limousines, luxury hotels and a New York City brownstone that were arranged by coterie of enablers often under the guise of mentoring. Cosby settled, and they were never called to testify. Still, over the years, most of them told their stories and some have again in the past two weeks. The suburban Philadelphia district attorney, Bruce Castor, whose decision not to prosecute Cosby is used as evidence of his innocence, said in an interview last week that it meant no such thing. “I didn’t say that he didn’t commit the crime,” Castor said. “What I said was there was insufficient admissible and reliable evidence upon which to base a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s ‘prosecutors speak’ for ‘I think he did it but there’s just not enough here to prosecute.’ ” In contrast to the crowd in Melbourne, there’s hope in the reaction of corporate America, its finger always to the wind of a cultural shift. NBC, Netflix and TV Land have canceled multimillion-dollar projects with Cosby. David Letterman and others have refused to have him on their talk shows. And in the wider world, there’s finally an effort to bring military officers, star athletes, frat boys and CEOs to account for sexual assaults. At the Uni-

versity of Virginia, fraternities have been closed until the end of the year after Rolling Stone published a report of gang rape of a freshman at one of the wealthiest, most established houses on campus. She faced immense pressure to keep quiet about the attack and did. Since the article published, other women have told of similar experiences and of UVA administrators allegedly discouraging victims from reporting assaults to preserve the school’s reputation. The default response when powerful men behave badly is to say they didn’t: priests, presidents, athletes, TV evangelists and movie stars. Last month, we learned that the nice star of the show 7th Heaven, Stephen Collins, had been arrested and accused of molesting girls as young as 10 while playing the role of a pastor. We swallow excuses. It was an “honest mistake” when football player Ray Rice punched his fiancée in an elevator. Let’s build a shrine to Penn State coach Joe Paterno and have campus police move away the few with the temerity to protest on behalf of the children who endured years of sexual abuse because he turned a blind eye to it. We don’t let go of our myths easily, but we do eventually. That likeness of Paterno has been removed, Rice is benched and Catholic bishops have been banished. Cosby doesn’t know it yet, but Melbourne is an intermediate end for him; seven of his remaining 35 appearances have been canceled. No matter his celebrity, in a better, fairer world, Cosby should have had to answer his accusers. The statute of limitations makes it too late to do anything about it legally, but not socially. All we have is to treat him like a pariah, to take away his pedestal, to tell the women that we’re sorry we couldn’t hear you and that we’ll listen next time. And to stop cheering.

reading initiative is sweeping the Santa Fe Public Schools — an attempt by the district to change the dismal reality that fewer than half of the 13,000 students in the school district read at grade level. What is happening — not just at the district level, but at the school level — should show all so-called education reformers that the best changes start in the classroom. Capshaw Middle School went from 49.4 percent reading proficiency to 59.7 percent in the most recent Standards Based Assessments. School Principal Laura Jeffery is fairly new to the school, and one of her major pushes was to bring teachers and school administrators together to look for creative ways to improve learning. At the school, they now assess reading skills weekly, bringing in tutors and coaches immediately to help students who might be behind. A little juggling of the schedule, and Jeffery and her staff found 30 minutes extra a day for reading and writing. All of the school’s 380 students participate. Every student has a chance to improve, and all teachers pitch in. But Capshaw is just one such initiative. All schools in the district are intervening sooner, when students struggle with reading. Principals and teachers are communicating those struggles with parents earlier, beginning in October. The sad spectacle of parents finding out in April or May, for example, that a student can’t read well enough to be passed on to the next grade level should become a thing of the past. Overall, the district has brought reading proficiency to 47.7 percent, just under the statewide average of 49 percent. (New efforts across the district now are turning to improving math skills, something also essential for better academic performance.) What Santa Fe is doing beats a top-down, from-thePublic-Education-Department-via-the-state-Legislature approach. New Mexico doesn’t need a law requiring thirdgraders to be retained if they can’t read at grade level. It needs smart approaches to improve reading skills that bubble up from the classroom. Mandatory retention, research suggests, can lead to later behavioral problems and doesn’t improve academic performance. Education World reports that the National Association of School Psychologists has concluded that 19 empirical studies from the 1990s show that “grade retention had a negative impact on all areas of achievement, including reading, mathematics, and language, as well as socio-emotional adjustment, such as peer relationships, self esteem, problem behaviors, and attendance.” A better approach is to make sure students get the help they need early in the school year — that eliminates the need for social promotion, which also is damaging children. It’s also essential to make sure reading problems aren’t masking learning disabilities, something retention won’t help. Gov. Susana Martinez is absolutely right that New Mexico children need to improve their reading skills. What would be wonderful is if in 2015, she looks to the goal — creating better readers — and admits there are other ways to improve reading than simply not promoting some thirdgraders. The approach at Capshaw Middle School, with the entire school pitching in, shows promise without the headaches or stigma of holding children back.

USC takes out punchless Lobos By Will Webber The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — If it wasn’t apparent before, it sure is now. The rebuilding project for The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team is officially underway. Using a patchwork lineup that produced a less than spectacular stat line, the punchless Lobos fell at home on Sunday afternoon to visiting Southern California, 66-54 in The Pit. UNM drops to 3-3 overall, having lost
three of its last four games — its worst fourgame stretch since dropping four straight during conference play toward the end of the 2010-11 season. Minus starting point guard and leading scorer Cullen Neal as well as two other key contributors, UNM never found the offensive scoring punch it so desperately needed. Its struggles were amplified by a dismal shooting performance from seniors Hugh Greenwood and Deshawn Delaney. Greenwood didn’t score, going 0-for-13 from the floor and 0-for-9 from 3-point
range. He only grabbed one rebound and had two assists. Delaney had 13 points, but did so on 3 of 10 shooting. Six of his points came from the free throw line. “I think Hugh’s trying to a lot,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal. “I think he’s trying to be a great leader. The hard thing is when you first go in, your first three shots are really tough shots and you can’t get into a rhythm.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. aron Rodgers made trademark pinpoint passes. Eddie Lacy powered out tough yards on the ground. The defense held firm in a frantic fourth quarter. This could be one super combination for the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers threw for 368 yards and two touchdowns, and Green Bay fended off the New England Patriots 26-21 Sunday in a high-profile matchup between Super Bowl contenders. “We have some big goals, and we’re getting into December football now with a chance with every-
A
thing right in front of us,” Rodgers said. He bested Tom Brady in the first meeting between the star quarterbacks as starters. They were the main attractions in a down-to-the-wire thriller. Rodgers connected with Richard Rodgers and Jordy Nelson for long touchdowns in the first half. Leading by five, the defense made a late stand for the Packers (9-3). With Green Bay back in zone coverage, Mike Daniels and Mike Neal combined to sack Brady on third down for a 9-yard loss, and kicker Stephen Gostkowkski pushed a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide right with 2:40 left. The Packers sealed it after Rodgers converted to Cobb on third-and-4 with the Patriots out of timeouts. “The point total was enough to win the game,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “I thought [the] defense did a lot of good things, and really I think
the end of the game is what you’re looking for as a coach.” Not quite the ending Brady had in mind. “I hate to take a sack in that situation. I really would have liked to score there,” he said. “I just wish we would have won this one. We put a lot into this one, and this was a great test for us. I think the guys knew how important this was for our season.” Brady finished 22 of 35 for 245 yards and two touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell for New England (9-3), which had its seven-game winning streak snapped. The second score came from 15 yards early in the fourth quarter to get within 23-21. The lead could have been wider for the Packers if not for some hiccups in the red zone.

Broncos beat Chiefs to stay atop AFC West By Dave Skretta The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Denver signed Connor Barth to take over their kicking duties this week, the veteran asked to wear No. 1 in honor of longtime Broncos kicker Jason Elam. Seems only fitting in retrospect. Barth returned from a lengthy absence from the NFL to connect on all five of his field-goal attempts Sunday night, matching Elam’s franchise game record and lifting the Broncos to a 29-16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. “It’s crazy,” said Barth, who missed
all of last year after tearing his Achilles tendon in a charity basketball game. “My agent and I always talk about just one kick at a time, so that’s what I try to do every time and it worked out tonight.” Peyton Manning threw touchdown passes to Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson, who also ran for 168 yards, as Denver (9-3) remained a game up on San Diego in the bunched-up AFC West.

AP PHOTO gation showed that Karageorge apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He said a handgun was found in the dumpster. Police found the body near the campus after a search began when Karageorge went missing Wednesday. The senior defensive tackle had last been seen at his apartment in Columbus, when his roommates said he left to go on a walk. The body was found within a couple hundred yards of Karageorge’s home and about a half block from High Street, the main artery of the campus. Sunday evening, no one answered when an Associated Press reporter knocked on the metal door of Karageorge’s apartment. Karageorge’s parents filed a missing-person report Wednesday evening, and his mother, Susan Karageorge, told police he had had several concussions and a few spells of being extremely confused, according to the report. She said that at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday he texted a message apologizing and saying the concussions had messed up his head. “I am sorry if I am an embarrassment,” he said.

Lobos: Weak defense, lack of aggression factors Continued from Page B-1 The Lobos shot just 20 percent in the second half, squandering a chance to take control the game after battling back from a doubledigit deficit to tie it at 47 on a Devon Williams 3-pointer with 9:12 to go. The Trojans (4-3) responded with a 9-1 run over the next six minutes to essentially put New Mexico out of its misery. USC’s Strahinj Gavrilovic took advantage of mental lapses in the Lobos’ defense on consecutive possessions, converting a pair of easy layups during the run. “You just can’t do that,” Neal said. “I mean, I know they got two European guys at the same time. They don’t look that much the same. So, you gotta figure out who you’re
guarding and what you’re guarding.” Nikola Jovanovic scored 10 points and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds for USC, which trailed only twice — both by a single point — in Sunday’s game. He had five points in the 9-1 run that gave the Trojans the win. Williams’ 15 points and 10 rebounds were both career highs, but he was lost for a few minutes after hitting his head on the floor in the first half. It was the latest in a long line of injuries that have put considerable pressure on UNM’s bench, as fellow front-line players Jordan Goodman and Arthur Edwards are also nursing injuries and didn’t play on Sunday. Center Obij Aget had a double
double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but fellow big man J.J. N’Ganga was again plagued by foul trouble by scoring just two points in nine minutes. He picked up two quick fouls early in the first half and got a third after checking into the game before halftime. Walk-on Tim Jacobs got a careerhigh 19 minutes in relief of Greenwood, scoring two points and dishing out a pair of assists. “We’ve got a lot of new guys that have to learn,” Neal said. “They gotta learn on the fly.” New Mexico was just 3 of 24 from 3-point range. That coupled with the mental breakdowns on defense, the lack of aggression in taking the ball to the hoop on offense, and the all-around poor play on both ends
of the floor will make for a tough film session on Monday, Neal said. “This is the part of coaching that I like because of the tapes,” he said. “But you better bring your big boy pants because you’re going to be embarrassed after you watch the tape because the tape doesn’t lie.” NOTES u The Lobos will host New Mexico State on Wednesday. The Aggies (3-4) are 0-4 on the road but have won two of their last three games in The Pit. u NMSU had a two-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with a 78-75 loss at Wyoming. It’s part of seven road games in their first 11 dates this season. u Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

NFL
Vikings block 2 punts for TDs, beat Panthers The Associated Press
touchdowns and DeAndre Hopkins had a career-best 238 yards receiving and two scores. Fitzpatrick returned to the lineup after being benched for two games for Ryan Mallett, who suffered a season-ending chest injury last week. J.J. Watt helped out in the win, too. He had his third touchdown reception, two sacks, forced and recovered a fumble for Houston (6-6).
MINNEAPOLIS — Adam Thielen and Everson Griffen each returned blocked punts by Minnesota Vikings 31 for touchdowns, the Panthers 13 fifth time in league history one team had two in the same game. Teddy Bridgewater threw for two scores without a turnover, and Griffen had two of the four sacks by the Vikings (5-7) against Cam Newton. Despite entering the week just a half-game out of first place in the struggling NFC South, the Panthers (3-8-1) again stumbled out of their bye. They’re 0-4 under coach Ron Rivera following the annual inseason week off, and have lost six in a row overall this season. This was the seventh-coldest game in Vikings history, with a kickoff temperature of 12 degrees. They’re playing outside this year for the first time since 1981. BENGALS 14, BUCCANEERS 13 In Tampa, Fla., Andy Dalton ran for one touchdown and threw to A.J. Green for another, helping the Bengals overcome numerous mistakes. Dalton shrugged off three first-half interceptions, and the Bengals (8-3-1) weathered 10 penalties and an ill-advised onside kick that cost them momentum after taking the lead in the second half to win on the road for the third consecutive week. That’s a franchise first that seemed improbable following a lopsided home loss to Cleveland a month ago. The Bengals lead the tightest division race in the NFL, with a 1½-game lead over each of their AFC North rivals — all of whom lost. CHARGERS 34, RAVENS 33 In Baltimore, Philip Rivers capped a frantic drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Eddie Royal with 38 seconds to go. The Chargers (8-4) trailed 30-20 with 6:13 remaining and 33-27 with 2:22 left before Rivers brought them back. Following a pass interference call against Anthony Levine in the end zone, Rivers hit Royal to conclude an 80-yard march to the Chargers’ third straight win. Baltimore (7-5) lost at home in November for the first time since 2009. The Ravens were 11-0 all-time at home against

West Coast teams. SAINTS 35, STEELERS 32 In Pittsburgh, Drew Brees threw five touchdowns for the ninth time in his career as the Saints dominated the sloppy Steelers. Kenny Stills caught five passes for a career-high 162 yards and a score as the Saints (5-7) ended a three-game losing streak by restoring a little bit of respectability and a sense of order to the NFC South. The Steelers (7-5) kept New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham without a catch, but it hardly mattered. Brees worked over Pittsburgh’s secondary anyway. Ben Watson, Marques Colston, Erik Lorig and Nick Toon hauled in touchdowns. BILLS 26, BROWNS 10 In Orchard Park, N.Y., quarterback Kyle Orton and defensive end Jerry Hughes scored touchdowns 10 seconds apart in the third quarter. Orton put the Bills ahead 7-3 with a 3-yard pass to Chris Hogan. Buffalo’s defense scored on the next play from scrimmage when Hughes stripped
the ball from running back Terrence West, and returned the fumble 18 yards. It was too deep of a hole for Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel to dig out of. Taking over with 12:01 left after starter Brian Hoyer threw his second interception, Manziel capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 10-yard run that cut Buffalo’s lead to 20-10. FALCONS 29, CARDINALS 18 In Atlanta, Julio Jones had a career day, catching 10 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown to keep the Falcons in first place in the NFC South. Arizona (9-3) still leads the NFC West after its second straight loss, but its lead over defending Super Bowl champion Seattle dwindled to a single game. More troubling for the Cardinals, they had gone more than 11 quarters without an offensive touchdown until a meaningless score with just over a minute remaining. TEXANS 45, TITANS 21 In Houston, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for a franchise-record six
RAMS 52, RAIDERS 0 In St. Louis, Tre Mason scored two long touchdowns and Shaun Hill accounted for three TDs in the rout. St. Louis had an out-of-nowhere 38-point first half that tied for second biggest in franchise history. Mason had 113 yards rushing on six carries in the half with an 89-yard score, plus a 35-yard jaunt on a screen pass that opened the scoring. Hill was 12 for 15 for 178 yards and two TDs and ran for a 2-yard score. The Rams (5-7) scored touchdowns on their first five possessions, got a field goal on the sixth midway through the second quarter to top their previous best scoring total for any game this season. The 38-point halftime lead was the largest in franchise history, one more than against Green Bay in 1980. COLTS 49, REDSKINS 27 In Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw a career-high five touchdown passes and topped the 300-yard mark for a franchiserecord 10th time this season. Indianapolis (8-4) won for the eighth time in 10 games since starting 0-2. Luck was 19 of 27 for 370 yards and had TD passes of 30, 3, 48, 73 and 79 yards. He broke Peyton Manning’s mark for most 300-yard games in one season and joined Manning and Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks to top 4,000 yards in two of their first three seasons. JAGUARS 25, GIANTS 24 In Jacksonville, Fla., Josh Scobee kicked a 43-yard field goal with 28 seconds remaining, and the Jaguars rallied from a 21-point deficit. The Jaguars (2-10) ended a four-game losing streak and dealt the Giants (3-9) a seventh consecutive loss that could raise more questions about coach Tom Coughlin’s future. The Giants dominated the first half, scoring 21 points in the second quarter and looking like they would notch their first victory since early October.
Packers: Lacy gets 98 yards on 21 carries Continued from Page B-1 Mason Crosby of 35 yards or less, including a 28-yarder to make it a five-point lead with 8:41 left. That kick came after rookie Davante Adams dropped a potential touchdown pass on third-and-5 from the New England 10. On his knees, a frustrated Rodgers buried his helmet into the turf in frustration. But he was celebrating at the end. Green Bay has won four in a row and eight of nine. “I just go back to our philosophy of winning. First, you have to find ways to win. Learn how to win, No. 1, but then you’ve got to find ways to win and you have to do it as many different ways as possible,” McCarthy said. Rodgers finished 24 of 38, while Lacy had 98 yards on 21 carries, including 26 on the ground in the fourth-quarter drive that led to Crosby’s field goal. Adams had a career-
best 121 yards on six receptions. “I said all week they had good skill players. They have good everything,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. Rodgers extended his NFL-record streaks to 360 consecutive passes at home and 31 touchdown passes in a row at home without an interception. His last interception at home came nearly two years ago on Dec. 2, 2012. The Packers had been blowing past opponents at home with big early leads, turning the final 30 minutes of games at Lambeau Field into glorified practices. But this game had the feel of a championship fight down to the final minutes. New England punched back after falling behind 13-0 in the first quarter. Brandon Bolden twisted his way up the middle for a 6-yard scoring run early in the second quarter to get New England on the board. LaFell’s 2-yard catch with 1:09 left
in the quarter drew New England within 16-14. But the quick-strike Packers were at their best late in the first half. Rodgers found Nelson in stride over the middle, and the receiver beat standout cornerback Darrelle Revis for a 45-yard touchdown, outracing safety Devin McCourty and tagging the front pylon before falling out of bounds. Six-foot-6 tight end Rob Gronkowski had 98 yards on seven catches, proving to be a matchup nightmare once again for a defense. Green Bay made the biggest stop in the end after sacking Brady. “So when you’ve got a guy like that, you have to just keep on chopping wood and you never know when you’ll get to him,” Daniels said. “And as you saw, the last defensive play of the game is when we got to him.”
Broncos: New kicker Barth 5 for 5 in FGs Continued from Page B-1 mentally sound games,” said Denver pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, who had an interception and a sack. “This is the time of year where the whole team comes together.” Alex Smith had 153 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Chiefs, the second of them to Jamaal Charles to make it 26-16 early in the fourth quarter. But Smith’s pass on the 2-point try fell incomplete, and the Broncos added another field goal to put the game away. Smith was sacked six times and Denver held Kansas City to 151 yards of total offense. “There’s really not a phase I can point to that was a positive in this game,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We all have to do better. We’re all in it together.” It certainly wasn’t the kind of performance expected of the Chiefs, who emerged in a frenzy before the game wear-
ing all-red uniforms for the third time in franchise history. The Chiefs were honoring veteran safety Eric Berry, who will miss the rest of the season after a mass suspected to be lymphoma was found in his chest. Berry has professed his love for the red-on-red look, which the Chiefs wore last year against Dallas and this year versus New England. While the Chiefs won both of those games, they hardly gave themselves a chance Sunday. Manning capped an effortless 74-yard drive with a 23-yard third-down pass to Thomas in the first quarter. Then, after the Broncos forced a second consecutive three-and-out, Manning found Anderson out of the backfield on third down for a 15-yard touchdown strike to make it 14-0. Anderson, who went undrafted last year, was coming off a 167-yard rushing
performance last week against Miami. Starting in place of the injured Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman, he proved that it was no one-week fluke, gashing the Kansas City defense with nearly every touch. “Just picking the right spots and following them,” Anderson said of his offensive line. “They get all the credit. I can’t get to any of those moves without getting to the holes.” Even when the Chiefs’ porous defense stopped the Broncos, they were usually within range for Barth, who was signed to replace ineffective kicker Brandon McManus. Meanwhile, very little was going right for the Chiefs on offense, either. They had minus-10 yards in the first quarter and were still at 66 yards through the third quarter. After recovering a fumble deep in Denver territory early in the second half, they managed three yards before kicking
a field goal. On their next possession, Smith had a pass batted at the line and intercepted by Ware, the first pick he’d thrown in 179 attempts. And on the Chiefs’ next possession, Smith was sacked by Ware on third-and-1 to force another punt. “We couldn’t sustain any drives,” Smith said. “It hurts.” Then, when the Chiefs finally held Denver on third down, backup cornerback Marcus Cooper inexplicably let the punt to bounce off his leg. The Broncos recovered for a fresh set of downs. Barth added his fifth field midway through the fourth quarter to seal the win. “We have to do a better job putting players in the right position and we have to do a better job executing when we’re in that position,” Reid said. “We get that fixed we’ll be back on track, but we’ve stalled the last two weeks. We have to get this thing turned around.”

Thousands in Mexico pay homage to ‘El Chavo del Ocho’ actor, comedian MEXICO CITY — Thousands of fans in Mexico City paid homage Sunday to Roberto Gomez Bolaños, the late Mexican comedian who played the boy television character El Chavo del Ocho that defined a generation for millions of Latin American children. Gomez Bolaños, who was known as Roberto “Chespirito,” Gomez died Friday at Bolaños age 85. Thousands of people, many dressed as his characters, gathered at Azteca stadium in southern Mexico City Sunday to say goodbye to the iconic comedian who took his inspiration from Laurel and Hardy as well as Mexico’s other transcendent comedian, Cantinflas. “Chespirito! Chespirito!” shouted fans of all ages as his coffin entered the stadium. It

was received by thousands of children dressed as his character Chapulin Colorado or The Crimson Grasshopper. Giant television screens showed videos about his life and characters. His morning show was a staple for preschoolers, much like Captain Kangaroo in the United States. He warmed the hearts of millions with a clean comedy style far removed from the sexual innuendo and obscenity-laced jokes popular today. In a career that started in the 1950s, he wrote hundreds of television episodes, 20 films and theater productions that drew recordbreaking audiences. His prolific output earned him the nickname “Chespirito.” It came from the Spanish phonetic pronunciation of Shakespeare — “Chespir” — combined with “ito,” a diminutive commonly used in Mexico that seemed natural for Gomez Bolaños because of his short stature.

Ohio: Concussions may have been factor Continued from Page B-1 Big Ten championship game Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. A former Ohio State wrestler, Karageorge joined the football team as a walk-on this season. He played in one game and was among two dozen seniors slated to be recognized at the final home game Saturday against rival Michigan. The Buckeyes won, 42-28. At the game, starting defensive tackle Michael Bennett spoke fondly of Karageorge. “He’s got a great personality, one of the favorite people I’ve ever met — just an interesting guy and a big heart,” Bennett said. During halftime at the No. 16 Ohio State men’s basketball game against James Madison in Columbus, pictures of Karageorge were shown and an announcement was made urging people with any information to contact police. After Karageorge went missing, the team’s physician, Dr. Jim Borchers, said he could
not comment on the medical care of student athletes. But, he added, “We are confident in our medical procedures and policies to return athletes to participation following injury or illness.” The player’s sister, Sophia Karageorge, told The Columbus Dispatch that he apparently was upset, and roommates said he went for a walk, dressed in black from his hat to his boots. “We’re very concerned that he’s not himself and that he maybe doesn’t know what’s going on,” she told the newspaper. She said after each concussion he followed trainers’ instructions and received proper care but “his repercussions from [concussions] have been long-term or delayed.” She said he was without his wallet and his motorcycle. Coach Urban Meyer described Karageorge as a hard worker and an important player in practice. Cornwell reported from Cincinnati.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Suicide risk can run in the family Dear Annie: When my son was a teenager, he attempted suicide three times. My daughter has attempted suicide twice. Her 16-year-old son left a note, but she discovered it and took him to a hospital. I have moments of complete sadness, but I have never tried to kill myself. Does this suicidal tendency run in families? Is there a “suicide gene”? — Granny to Eleven Dear Granny: We contacted the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and here is what they said: Suicide is often misunderstood. Genetics is only a part of the story. In fact, there is no single cause for suicide. Mental health problems are also a contributor to suicide risk, and they run in families, too. Most people who have a mental illness don’t try to kill themselves, but it does put you at a higher risk: Nine out of 10 people who die by suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death. These illnesses are often treatable, but unfortunately, people suffering from illnesses like depression and anxiety do not seek treatment; they think they have to battle these problems on their own. You would not try to fight cancer on your own, so why tackle depression alone? Suicide attempts — or even thoughts about killing yourself — are clear signs of distress, and you should consult a mental health professional as soon as possible. Since your family has a history of attempts, it is especially important that you all stay on top of your mental health by regularly “checking in” with a mental health professional or your doctor, and with each other. You can’t make someone suicidal by talking about it, and they may feel relief when you ask. You can learn more about suicide research and prevention at afsp.org. If you or your family members are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. Dear Annie: My husband and I grew up in the Midwest. We moved to Arizona 25 years ago
to get out of the cold and snowy winters and hot, sticky summers. We live in a beautiful town. My pet peeve is that family never comes to visit. They expect us to do all of the traveling in order to see them. Meanwhile, they go on lovely vacations elsewhere and tell us they have limited vacation time and can’t get to us. Well, so do we. I can count on one hand the number of times we have had visitors, and every time it has been for a major event. To our families: Please come visit. You can stay with us, no hotel room needed. We live in a beautiful area. Planes go both ways. Why should we do all the traveling? — Getting It Off My Chest Dear Getting: People who move away from their hometown often find that they are expected to return for visits more often, simply because it is “home” and usually there are multiple relatives you can see at the same time. For those same relatives to visit you, it requires planning an individual vacation. We agree that it is unfair, but it’s unlikely to change. Make sure your family members know that they are welcome and you’d love to see them. You can’t do more than that. Dear Annie: This is for all of the grandparents who live near their children but don’t get to spend as much time with them as they’d like. My son and daughter-in-law have three young children under the age of 5. I invite them to our home for a meal once a week and offer to bring a meal to their home once a week. This lightens their load and gives us time to visit. And I feel greatly appreciated and have become close to my grandchildren. — J.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others, with the knowledge that they might be more invested in the outcome than you are. Tonight: With a favorite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could have a lot more endurance and drive than you realize. As a result, you’ll figure out how to bypass a problem with ease. Tonight: Be spontaneous. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 1) HHH You seem to be working at a different level from those around you. Emphasize security. Tonight: Head home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might find yourself in a position where you’ll be able to change today’s plans and use your time in a more meaningful way. Tonight: Go with impulsiveness.
