The Santa Fe school board voted 4-1 late Tuesday to approve a $55 million, five-year plan for technology upgrades at all schools in the district, and then voted 3-2 to fund that plan by raising property taxes.

The votes came after extensive debate

about the pros and cons of the plan and the merits of taking advantage of a state law to impose the new 1.5 mill tax, which would raise about $11 million a year for five years.

Over time, the project would ensure all schools have new computers, white boards and up-to-date wireless connections. And ideally, each student would receive an ageappropriate computer device — be it a tab-

Environment secretary gets green light, despite concerns over copper rule

Committee members say fee is crucial to city’s plastic bag ban

By Bruce Krasnow

SINgLe-uSe BAg ORdINANCe

Members of a city committee who spent more than a year studying a ban on some plastic retail bags said Tuesday they disagree with the city attorney’s view that charging customers 10 cents for a paper bag might be legally improper.

They said a fee is needed to make the new law work.

The mandatory fee is a key element of the plastic bag ban, which takes effect Feb. 27. It is meant to serve as an incentive for shoppers to bring their own reusable bags and to reimburse businesses for the higher cost of paper bags.

“Not charging just guts this ordinance,” said Dena Aquilina, the general manager at Beneficial Farms and a committee member who helped draft the original ordinance. “Not charging is not the way to go.”

But since the ordinance, designed to reduce plastic litter, was passed in August 2013, Interim City Attorney Kelley Brennan has told councilors that the 10-cent charge amounts to an improper tax

The New Mexico Senate on Tuesday confirmed Ryan Flynn as Cabinet secretary of the state Environment Department, despite protests from environmental groups and concerns from some lawmakers over a controversial copper rule and potential conflicts of interest.

The Senate vote was 30-11, with all Republicans and most Democrats who

represent rural districts voting to confirm Flynn, who served as general counsel for the Environment Department before being named secretary-designate in April.

The Environment Department affects every part of the state, overseeing hazardous waste permits, groundwater contamination, septic tanks, air emissions from industry, drinking water systems and surface water quality, among other programs.

Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, who intro-

duced Flynn, said “small communities stand up in support of Flynn because of his willingness to sit down with them and discuss issues they deal with on a daily basis.”

Voting no on Flynn’s confirmation was tough for Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, who said his dealings with Flynn have been good. “Ryan Flynn is someone who brings people together,” Wirth said.

Analysis: Wage hike could cost 500K jobs WASHINGTON — Boosting the federal minimum wage as President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are proposing would increase earnings for more than 16.5 million people by 2016 but also cut employment by roughly 500,000 jobs, Congress’ nonpartisan budget analyst said Tuesday.

The Congressional Budget Office said gradually raising the minimum from $7.25 hourly to $10.10 would lift 900,000 people above the federal poverty level by 2016. But the analysis also noted a downside: About 0.3 percent fewer jobs, especially for low-income workers; higher costs for business owners and higher prices for consumers.

Obama, Dems at odds over major trade deals WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama wants to put major emerging trade deals with Europe and Asia on a “fast track” to congressional passage. But with midterm elections looming, many fellow Democrats are working to sidetrack them instead.

If ratified, the proposals — the TransAtlantic and Trans-Pacific Trade and Investment Partnerships — would create the largest free-trade zone in the world. Many Democrats up for re-election in November are fearful of drawing primary-election opposition over the trade talks.

The $400 million Powerball jackpot tops the list of lottery payouts at this convenience store in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Jackpots like Wednesday’s anticipated $400 million Powerball can grant a lot of dreams and can create a lot nightmares, too.

JIM MONE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Changes in the ways big multistate lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions are played have increased the frequency of staggering jackpots.

The nation’s biggest lottery prize was a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot in March 2012 that was shared by three winning tickets sold in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland. The second-largest came in December, a $636 million Mega Millions prize.

The two winning tickets were purchased in San Jose, Calif., and Atlanta.

The biggest Powerball jackpot ever was a

$590.5 million prize won by a Florida woman last May. St. Louis security guard Gerald Mukes, 36, has modest aspirations. He plays Powerball three to four times each month and planned to purchase several tickets before Wednesday’s drawing. Pressed for his wish list, Mukes could only muster a $100,000 home, though he did suggest an interest in traveling the world “like a rolling stone” before settling down.

“Nothing superbig,” he said. “I understand about being hungry.”

WASHINGTON — The Energy Department is poised to approve $6.5 billion in federal loan guarantees for the first nuclear power plant built from scratch in this country in more than three decades. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was expected to announce final approval of the deal at a speech on Wednesday, a day before he visits the $14 billion Vogtle nuclear plant now under construction in eastern Georgia. Atlanta-based Southern Co. is building the plant about 30 miles southeast of Augusta, Ga.

As of Tuesday, at least 2,173 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count. The latest identifications reported by the military: Master Sgt. Aaron C. Torian, 36, of Paducah, Ky., died Feb. 15, while conducting combat operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan; assigned to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Special Operations Regiment, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Camp Lejeune, N.C. Two soldiers died Feb. 12, in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when they were struck by enemy small arms fire; killed were: Spc. John A. Pelham, 22, of Portland, Ore., and Sgt. First Class Roberto C. Skelt, 41, of York, Fla.; they were assigned to 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C. Spc. Christopher A. Landis, 27, of Independence, Ky., died Feb. 10, in Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, from wounds received when the enemy attacked his dismounted patrol with a rocket propelled grenade in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan; assigned to 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C. Pfc. Joshua A.

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The nation’s shortage of execution drugs is becoming increasingly acute as more pharmacies conclude that supplying the lethal chemicals is not worth the bad publicity and the legal and ethical risks.

The scarcity of drugs for lethal injections has forced states to scramble for substitutes. And experts say that whatever alternatives are found will almost certainly face costly court challenges made more complicated by laws that cloak the process in secrecy.

On Monday, the Tulsa, Okla.-based compounding pharmacy the Apothecary Shoppe agreed to stop selling pentobarbital to the Missouri Department of Corrections after the pharmacy was named in a lawsuit filed by death row inmate Michael Taylor alleging that the drug could cause “inhumane pain.”

Missouri previously paid $8,000 in cash for each dose of the drug. The settlement will probably mean changing delicate execution procedures just a week before Taylor is scheduled to die for raping and killing a 15-year-old Kansas City girl in 1989. Gov. Jay Nixon said Tuesday that Missouri is prepared to carry out the Feb. 26 execution but declined to elaborate.

Missouri, like many states, is reluctant to divulge much information about how, or where, it obtains lethal injection drugs, citing the privacy rights of the supplier.

Lethal injection has faced increasing scrutiny over the past decade. Experts say they’re not surprised, given the limited profit in selling execution drugs, ethical concerns in the medical profession, potential legal costs and unwanted publicity.

Ohio’s lethal injection policy, like those in Missouri and Texas, calls for a single dose of pentobarbital.

The state was unable to obtain pentobarbital for the past two executions, instead using a backup, two-drug combination of the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone.

That combination was used to kill Dennis McGuire on Jan. 16 in an execution that raised new concerns.

McGuire took 26 minutes to die, snorting, gasping and repeatedly opening and shutting his mouth as the drugs took effect.

Despite the concerns in Ohio, Missouri may be going to a similar backup plan.

Taylor’s legal team asked the U.S. District Court in Kansas City for a stay of execution Tuesday, citing concerns that the two-drug combination, never used in Missouri, could cause pain and suffering for the inmate.

Some death-penalty states are well-stocked. Mississippi has not executed a prisoner since June 2012, but the state has an adequate supply of execution drugs, spokeswoman Tara Booth said.

Oklahoma uses a three-drug combination of pentobarbital, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride.

The state has “plenty” of each of the drugs, including 10 doses of pentobarbital, according to Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie.

The state will have “no problem” finding new stock when that supply runs low, Massie said, though he did not elaborate.

Like Missouri, Texas and other states, Oklahoma does not disclose the source of its drugs.

Richard Dieter, executive director of the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center, said most states will struggle to find drugs for executions.

“That is going to continue to be a conflict,” he said.

“There’s no nice way to kill people, and this is part of that dilemma that the death penalty presents.”

Huge jackpot can be a dream come true or a nightmare

ST. LOUIS ednesday’s anticipated $400 million-plus Powerball jackpot can grant a lot of wishes. But what if you were the only winner, and you had but one chance to blow all that money on a single purchase?

If you ignore the cautious advice of accountants and money managers and are ready to spend big, real estate listings, auction houses and even simple Web searches are full of ideas to separate you and your newfound wealth.

A single winner taking the lump sum payout would end up with about $230 million.

Opting for the quick cash grab, accounting for taxes, would still leave more than $100 million to invest wisely.

Or spend frivolously, if that’s how you roll.

“When you look at $100 million, you think that well will never run dry,” said Mark DiGiovanni, a certified financial planner in Atlanta. “If you have $100 million and lose it, that’s probably worse than having never won at all.”

2014 Legislature

Senate unanimously approves $6.2B budget

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

After some massaging, the $6.2 billion state budget that had fractured the New Mexico House and threatened to force a special legislative session sailed through the Senate with consensus on Tuesday.

By a vote of 42-0, Senate Bill 313 advanced to the House and earned guarded praise from Gov. Susana Martinez.

“That’s totally and completely a surprise,” said Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee that crafted the budget. “Trying to get 42 people on the same sheet of music is a challenge.”

The fiscal year 2015 budget passed by the Senate represents a compromise between

Democrats, who favored leaving money at the discretion of individual school districts, and Republicans, who wanted to hand the Public Education Department about $20 million to implement education reform initiatives championed by the Republican governor.

The spending bill headed for a House vote includes $17.5 million in new money for the Public Education Department for merit pay for teachers and principals, teacher evaluations and other initiatives that Martinez supported.

However, individual school districts would have discretion over whether they choose to adopt the initiatives, and that decision would be subject to terms of collective bargaining agreements with teachers’ unions.

“Some people had to give in

on things you never would have believed they would give in on, and some people had to temper their aggressiveness on the messages they wanted to drive home,” Smith said. “From that standpoint, I think it was a pretty good compromise.”

The governor acknowledged the compromise, but not without some criticisms.

“While the Governor remains concerned about the overall spending growth in this budget and its adverse impact on the state’s reserves, this budget does represent a compromise that properly acknowledges the importance of investing in education reforms and key job creation efforts, as well as efforts to expand New Mexico’s healthcare workforce in rural areas,” Martinez’s spokesman,

House OKs Navajo gambling compact

By Uriel J. Garcia

The New Mexican

The state House of Representatives on Tuesday gave its approval to a new gambling compact with the Navajo Nation that would allow the tribe to increase its total number of casinos in New Mexico to five.

The agreement, which passed on 36-30 vote, now heads to the Senate, where lawmakers would need to act on the agreement before the legislative session adjourns at noon Thursday.

The deal, negotiated between the tribe and the New Mexico Governor’s Office, also must be approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Legislators cannot make changes to the compact before voting on whether to approve it.

The tribe currently operates two Las Vegas-style casinos and one Class II casino — essentially a bingo parlor — under a 2001 compact that expires next year. Under the proposed agreement, which would run through 2037, the tribe could open a third Las Vegas-style casino within five years of signing the deal, then open two more at least three years apart.

Last year, a proposed Navajo Nation gambling agreement made it out of committee, but the full Legislature failed to take a vote on the compact before the session ended. And Navajo leaders are concerned about the last-minute approach lawmakers are taking on voting on the compact this session.

Navajo President Ben Shelly said after Tuesday’s House vote, “I’m just hoping the Senate does the same thing. And they should also listen to the Navajo people.”

During committee hearings,

to funnel funds unspent by state departments into the lottery scholarship fund. “Our state is actually awash in cash in different accounts here and there,” he said.

The Senate rejected that change by a vote of 29-12.

Prospects for the budget had seemed bleak 11 days earlier, when it stalled in the House by on a 34-34 vote along near party lines.

Smith said the budget process in the House was complicated by the absence of two Democrats, Reps. Phillip Archuleta of Las Cruces and Ernest Chavez of Albuquerque, who have missed the entire session with health problems.

“I don’t blame the House,” Smith said. “I think they were just a victim of the times and the circumstances.”

Now, with just Wednesday and half of Thursday left in the session, Smith said the unanimous passage of the budget in the Senate left him optimistic about its passage in the House.

“I can’t tell you what’s going to happen,” he said, “but it does send the message that this bill has a lot of momentum.”

Rep. Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho, said he is optimistic about the budget passing in the House in a form that will be acceptable to the governor.

“It looks like the Senate was willing to compromise with the governor on her key education initiatives,” he said. “I appreciate that.”

Legislative roundup

Rep. James Roger Madalena, D-Jemez Pueblo, speaks Tuesday on the House floor about the Navajo Nation’s gambling agreement while Sen. John Pinto, D-Gallup, left, and attorney Karis N. Begaye look on.

Deal allowing tribe to have five casinos heads to Senate

Enrique Knell, said in a written statement.

The overall budget the Senate adopted is 5 percent — or $293 million — larger than the current year’s budget. Beginning teachers’ salaries would increase to $32,000 a year from $30,000, and all state employees including teachers would get 3 percent raises. Programs that educate health care providers would get an additional $6 million, and $1.1 million would go to telemedicine programs for rural areas.

The underfunded lottery tuition fund for in-state college students would get an additional $11.5 million to prop it up during the fiscal year ahead, but the Legislature likely will wrestle with its solvency again next year.

Sen. Tim Keller, D-Albuquerque, tried to amend the budget

lawmakers and representatives of other tribes expressed concern that the Navajos will open a casino in the Albuquerque area, where other Indian-owned casinos are already in operation. They said additional casinos would saturate the gambling market in the state and threaten revenues from existing operations.

“I’m a huge advocate of Indian gaming, especially in New Mexico,” said Rep. Georgene Louis, D-Albuquerque, who voted against the compact. “But if we’re looking at the saturation of the market … and we’re already at that point where gaming is done, then perhaps we need a more diverse economic development in Indian Country.”

But Rep. Sandra Jeff, D-Crownpoint, said New Mexico tribes should be backing each other as they negotiate their compacts with the state.

“The Navajo people, we are struggling,” Jeff said. “It’s unfortunate that some of them are still living like in a Third World country, and we have to do something about it.”

Earlier efforts by the Legislature’s Committee on Compacts to restrict additional casinos had failed, and lawmakers had sent the agreement back to the negotiating table. But Navajo Nation officials responded that they wouldn’t accept a compact that allows fewer than five Las Vegas-style gambling facilities.

Navajo leaders have said the additional casinos would help cut what is currently a 50 percent unemployment rate on the reservation. Navajo delegate LoRenzo Bates said that if the compact is approved, there wouldn’t be immediate plans to build more casinos until the state’s economy is stronger.

Days remaining in session: 1½ Texting while driving: A driversafety bill that has languished for years in the Legislature finally is heading to the governor for her signature. Senate Bill 19, sponsored by Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, and Rep. Jim Smith, R-Sandia Park, passed the House of Representatives on a 62-1 vote Tuesday. It earlier cleared the Senate by a vote of 37-5.

The bill would allow police to ticket drivers they see typing on cellphones or reading messages while driving or stopped in traffic. Violators would face a $25 fine for a first offense and a $50 fine for subsequent tickets.

Using hands-free, voice-activated devices would be legal. Also, it wouldn’t be a crime to pull over and park in order to send or read texts or emails. Police would not be allowed to seize cellphones or other devices.

Gov. Susana Martinez has said she supports such legislation.

A myth repeated: During Tuesday’s committee discussion of the proposed constitutional amendment to raise the minimum wage, Rep. Bill Rehm, R-Albuquerque, tried to use Santa Fe’s daily newspaper as an example of why the measure would be bad.

Rehm noted, correctly, that The New Mexican had editorialized in favor of a municipal minimum-wage law that increased the wage floor in Santa Fe, an increase supporters dubbed “the living wage.”

Rehm said that soon after the law was implemented, the paper opened its printing plant south of the city limits. This, he claimed, was to avoid paying workers the wage imposed by the City Council.

But that’s “absolutely not true,” New Mexican publisher Ginny Sohn said Tuesday. “We pay everyone at New Mexican Plaza the living wage or better, despite the fact that we are in the county and we’re not required to. We did it because it is the right thing to do.”

It’s not the first time a politician engaged in a minimum-wage debate has repeated the same myth. A New Mexican editorial published during the 2006 legislative session called repeated statements that the newspaper had moved its printing operations outside city limits to avoid paying the local minimum wage “horse puckey.”

Emergency meds: A bill that passed the Legislature on Tuesday would allow public schools to stock and provide emergency medications, such as EpiPens for allergic reactions to insect and food allergies and inhalers for apparent respiratory distress.

The House voted unanimously to pass SB 75, sponsored by Sen. Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque. The bill previously passed the Senate, so it goes now to the governor for consideration.

Moores has argued that children have died unnecessarily in the state because emergency medications were not readily accessible at their schools.

Under current law, schools cannot stock these medications, and they can only be administered if students provide them.

Omaree’s Law: A bill that would require the Children, Youth and Families

Department to immediately take custody of children showing specific injuries from abuse passed the House on Tuesday by a vote of 52-11 and heads now to the Senate.

HB 333 also would require the parents, guardians or custodians to complete counseling before taking back custody of a child in certain circumstances.

The bill is called “Omaree’s Law,” after 9-year-old Omaree Varela of Albuquerque, who died last year. His mother has been charged with kicking him to death.

The case has sparked criticism of the CYFD for not acting to remove the boy from an abusive environment.

Chile bowl: Painful memories of Super Bowl Sunday persist in Colorado, where a lawmaker has revived the heated debate between New Mexico and Colorado over green chile that started with professional football’s biggest game.

Colorado state Sen. Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa, challenged any New Mexico lawmaker willing to take him on in a chile cook-off, according to a blog post

by Denver Post reporter Lynn Bartels.

The challenge evolved from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock’s Super Bowl wager of Colorado green chile stew against the mayor of Seattle, whose hometown Seahawks pummeled the Denver Broncos.

Hancock’s bet triggered first laughter, then a defensive posture from residents of New Mexico, who view the chile native to this state as superior to Colorado’s. That ticked off factions in Pueblo, Colo., which boasts a respectable variety of Mirasol peppers.

So far, no New Mexico lawmakers have accepted Crowder’s challenge, but murmurs around the Roundhouse suggest that if one did, Colorado would be in for yet another public beat-down.

Marching to governor’s desk: The House on Tuesday unanimously passed a bill that would allow high school students to receive physical education credit for

participating in marching band, cheerleading, rodeo, Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and other activities.

SB 122, sponsored by Sen. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, would allow school districts to decide on which classes involving physical activity could be substituted to meet the state’s requirement for one unit of credit for physical education in order to graduate.

Brandt’s bill is in response to a memo from the Public Education Department that said these alternate activities don’t qualify for PE credit. “In some cases, this has meant that a student has had to drop an academic course to add a PE class,” Brandt argued.

The bill already had unanimously passed the Senate. It goes now to the Senate for concurrence before heading to the governor for her signature.

Home foreclosures: The Legislature soon will appoint a task force to recommend how to avoid improper home foreclosures.

Senate Memorial 36, sponsored by Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, passed the Senate 29-13 Sunday on a bipartisan vote.

The task force will be made up of housing corporation representatives, independent living resources, community bankers, mortgage bankers, senior citizens organizations, the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority, veterans organizations, the Municipal League, the Association of Counties, title offices, local homeowners and lawyers who deal with real estate law.

Looking ahead: Wednesday is the last full day of this year’s session, which officially ends at noon Thursday, Feb. 20. u It will be Aviation Day at the Capitol from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, with members of New Mexico’s aviation community helping man educational displays in the building’s west wing.

Minimum-wage proposal faces GOP challenge on House floor

By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

Democratic legislators pushing for an increase in the statewide minimum wage are one giant step away from getting their proposal on the November ballot.

The measure, approved Friday by the Senate, cleared its final committee in the House of Representatives on Tuesday and heads next to the House floor.

But with Republicans solidly against the proposal — which would ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment raising the statewide minimum to about $8.30 an hour — its chances of making

the ballot appear slender.

Two Democrats in the House have been out sick the entire 30-day legislative session, leaving their party with only a 35-33 advantage. It takes 36 votes in the House to send a constitutional amendment to the ballot.

Sen. Bill Soules, one of the sponsors of the proposal to raise the minimum wage, said he nonetheless was hopeful that at least some Republicans would support the measure.

“They’re hearing from people in their districts, just as we are,” Soules, D-Las Cruces, said Tuesday. “I’m an eternal optimist.”

Time also could be a factor against

the amendment. The legislative session ends at noon Thursday, but Soules said he hoped the proposal would receive a vote, given its importance.

The state minimum wage of $7.50 an hour has been unchanged since 2009, even as prices have steadily climbed, Soules said.

He and Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, are co-sponsoring the amendment. In addition to raising the wage to $8.30, the measure would provide for annual increases of up to 4 percent, tied to the national Consumer Price Index.

Business groups, including chile growers and the Association of Com-

merce & Industry of New Mexico, opposed the amendment during testimony Tuesday before the House Voters and Elections Committee.

Committee members advanced the bill on a 6-4 party-line vote. All the “no” votes were from Republicans, led by Rep. Paul Bandy of Aztec. Bandy said nothing that can be done by statute should be placed in the constitution.

Two people earning the minimum wage testified for the bill.

One was Wayne McDay, a Navy veteran, who works as a dishwasher at a diner in Albuquerque.

McDay, 25, said he had never before testified at the state Capitol, but he was

motivated to speak up this time. Albuquerque voters raised the city’s minimum wage to $8.50, and that provided a lift for working people, McDay said.

“If it’s good enough for Albuquerque, it’s good enough for the rest of the state,” he said.

Santa Fe also has a higher minimum wage than the one proposed in the state amendment. Santa Fe’s minimum is $10.51 and will increase by 15 cents next month.

industry ahead of protecting groundwater, in particular. They believe Flynn is doing exactly what Gov. Susana Martinez mandated for her administration in ensuring regulations are business-friendly.

Groundwater is critical because it provides drinking water to a large portion of the state and is entirely within the state’s regulatory control, unlike air quality and surface water, which are protected under federal law.

But more than two dozen people, not including other governor-selected Cabinet secretaries, spoke in favor of Flynn at Tuesday’s Senate Rules Committee hearing. Aside from his expected supporters in mining, agriculture and oil and gas, Flynn got a thumbs up from the rural water associations and conservation districts, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, the New Mexico Recycling Coalition and Terry Aguilar, governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo.

Flynn told the committee his

job “first and foremost is to protect air and water.” But he said he also needed to “make it possible for industry to operate” while protecting the environment.

Industry representatives agreed, describing Flynn as fair and reasonable. “Industries don’t get everything they want, but they get a fair shot and a reasoned approach,” Kent Cravens, a lobbyist for the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, told the Rules Committee. “He’s unraveled the sins of the past.”

Voting against Flynn’s confirmation were Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque; Daniel Ivey-Soto, D-Albuquerque; Tim Keller, D-Albuquerque; Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque; Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque; Bill O’Neill, D-Las Cruces; Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque; Nancy Rodriguez, D-Santa Fe; Michael Sanchez, D-Belen; Bill Soules, D-Albuquerque; and Wirth.

Per diem and mileage are designed to defray the costs of lawmakers traveling from their home districts and staying in Santa Fe while doing legislative business.

Lawmakers receive per diem payments and mileage for one round-trip drive between their homes and the state Capitol essentially by default. House Bill 1, commonly referred to as the “feed bill,” was the first bill passed this session and authorized appropriations to cover the session’s costs, such as in-session per diem for all lawmakers, including Chavez and Archuleta.

The chief clerk of the House administers the expenditures, including the recent checks paid to Chavez and Archuleta.

“It is a customary procedure, not something the Speaker had to authorize,” Aragon said in her email.

Lawmakers are not required to submit vouchers during the legislative session for per diem.

Instead, they simply write their initials beside their names on a list and pick up their checks.

The New Mexican reviewed that list, which contained each lawmaker’s initials except for Archuleta’s and Chavez’s. Next to their names, the word mailed was written.

If they accept per diem for the full 30-day session, scheduled to end at noon Thursday, Archuleta and Chavez each will receive another $3,180.

Pay for a day not worked in the New Mexico Legislature is nothing new. For instance, past lawmakers have received per diem for days they missed, and during the legislative session, lawmakers receive per diem even for weekends, when they seldom meet but still might be staying in Santa Fe, away from home.

SFPS: Property tax increase to last 5 years Continued from Page A-1 a $300,000 home with a taxable valuation of $100,000 will increase by $150 a year. For a home valued at $200,000, about $100 will be added to the annual tax bill.

The district plans to start the project in the autumn by focusing on three new school sites — Atalaya Elementary School, Nina Otero Community School and El Camino Real Academy — before expanding into two schools being renovated — Kearny and Piñon elementary schools — as well as Ortiz Middle School and Ramirez Thomas Elementary School. Thanks to a three-year federal “turnaround” grant, the latter school has had a head start on the others when it comes to computer technology.

School board members Lorraine Price and Glenn Wikle voted against using the Education Technology Note approach, arguing that the district should put the question to voters via a general obligation bond election — which, unless the district called for a special election, would have to wait until 2017.

“Just because we can [tax voters] doesn’t mean we should,” Price said. Both she and Wikle said low-income renters also will feel the squeeze when their landlords raise the rent to make up the difference.

Board members Linda Trujillo, Susan Duncan and Steve Carrillo countered that time is of the essence and that the district already is lagging behind in technology. “We can’t wait another couple years to address this,” Duncan said. Trujillo said it is an equity issue, since some schools already have computer access for most students and others do not.

Trujillo acknowledged the roughly $8-a-month increase for those with a $200,000 home will adversely impact some people — but for her, she said, it’s just fewer trips to Starbucks each month.

Wikle asked the most questions about the plan’s funding, expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that the board members only received a detailed one-page budget analysis of the cost as part of a 12-page report on the plan moments before Tuesday’s meeting began. Superintendent Joel Boyd said in an email that while

the report was new, the specifics of the budget had been discussed with all the board members over time, and that Wikle’s assertion is “incorrect.”

Wikle said the district’s push for “faster, faster, faster, more, more, more equals waste, waste, waste.”

On the vote for approving the plan, only Wikle dissented. He, Duncan and Price all voiced concern that children in kindergarten through third grade may not benefit from being on or around computers all day long. Duncan also cited the potential health hazards of electro-magnetic radiation on younger children, echoing a concern that one person brought up during public comments. But Price and Duncan still voted for the plan, which, Carrillo noted, is not set in stone.

Only five people from the public spoke about the district’s technology plan, with three —

including two district employees — expressing outright support and the other two raising concerns but not opposing the plan.

Carrillo told the assembly that many people have called him to ask whether the plan will eliminate the need for instructors in the classroom. “This is a tool. It will not replace a teacher,” he said.

District personnel say many details need to be worked out with the plan, which also will utilize federal E-Rate funding and general obligation bond funds from previous elections.

Newsmakers Abbott welcomes Ted Nugent, not his remarks

Greg Abbott

Ted Nugent

DENTON, Texas — Republican Greg Abbott welcomed salty-tongued rocker Ted Nugent to his campaign for Texas governor on Tuesday, but claimed ignorance about inflammatory remarks his polarizing surrogate has made on immigration and women.

Nugent has suggested that immigrants who are not in the country legally should be treated like “indentured servants” until they earn citizenship. He has referred to feminists as “fat pigs” and used lewd language about women in song lyrics and interviews.

The Texas attorney general celebrated Nugent’s avid defense of gun rights — Nugent is a board member of the National Rifle Association — during their first campaign rally together at a packed North Texas restaurant.

But Abbott said he couldn’t respond to some of Nugent’s more famously divisive remarks on others issues. “I can’t comment on them, because I don’t know what he said,” Abbott said.

Nugent didn’t launch any new controversies while firing up about 150 fans and Abbott supporters. “We don’t have to question Greg Abbott’s courage, because he invited me today,” Nugent said.

Yevgeny Feldman, a photographer who has been shadowing Pussy Riot was detained with them Tuesday afternoon, said the band members were filming videos around town for a new song.

Tolokonnikova also said police had shoved her and other detainees and that the group would file a complaint about their treatment to Russia’s Investigative Committee.

Pussy Riot, a performanceart collective which edits its actions into music videos, has become an international flashpoint for those who contend Putin’s government has exceeded its authority in dealing with an array of issues, notably human and gay rights.

Since their release in December, they have made many appearances overseas to push their campaign for improved conditions in Russia’s prisons. Alekhina and Tolokonnikova recently visited the U.S. to take part in an Amnesty International concert.

The area where the group members were detained is in downtown Sochi, about 20 miles north of the seaside Olympic venues.

Russia has put severe limitations on protests in Sochi during the Olympics, ordering that any demonstration must get approval and be held only in the neighborhood of Khosta, an area that is unlikely to be visited by outsiders.

Russia’s suppression of protests has been widely denounced in the West and the Pussy Riot detentions brought renewed criticism. “In Putin’s Russia, the authorities have turned the Olympic rings into handcuffs to shackle freedom,” John Dalhuisen, Europe director for Amnesty International, said in a statement.

The actions taken against Pussy Riot came a day after an Italian transgender activist and former lawmaker was detained at the Olympics.

Vladimir Luxuria was stopped while carrying a rainbow flag that read in Russian: “Gay is OK.” On Sunday, Luxuria said she was held by police and told not to wear clothing with slogans promoting gay rights.

SOCHI, Russia wo members of the punk group Pussy Riot ran out of a police station in their trademark garish balaclavas Tuesday after being released following several hours of questioning in Sochi, the host city of the Winter Olympics.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, along with 7 others, were held by police near Sochi’s ferry terminal, a popular area for fans celebrating the Olympics, and taken to a police station for questioning.

Police said they were questioned in connection with a theft at the hotel where they were staying. No charges were filed.

Tolokonnikova said the detention followed three days of police harassment. She also said the two band members were detained for several hours the previous two days.

“We members of Pussy Riot have been here since late Sunday and we were constantly detained since then,” Tolokonnikova said after her release. “We are constantly surrounded by people, not you journalists, but people who are shadowing us, following our every move and looking for any excuse to detain us.”

Pussy Riot gained international attention in 2012 after barging into Moscow’s main cathedral and performing a “punk prayer” in which they entreated the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Vladimir Putin, who was on the verge of returning to the Russian presidency for a third term.

Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sentenced to two years in prison, but were released in December under an amnesty bill.

Tolokonnikova’s husband, Pyotr Verzilov, and other people who were detained on Tuesday insisted that theywere not demonstrating when they were taken off the street.

Tolokonnikova, Alekhin and three other unidentified women came running out of the police station chanting “Putin will teach you to love

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dental therapists could increase care

N

ew Mexico has a dental crisis affecting more than 1 million people.

The state Legislature can alleviate it by approving House Bill 306, the Dental Therapist Licensure Act. Research has shown that dental therapists provide safe, effective and affordable care. This is a common-sense solution to a serious problem of access to dental care in underserved areas.

Dental therapists will take nothing away from dentists.

Yet, some dentists who are unfamiliar with this concept are using their considerable political power to oppose it. It is frustrating that this political pressure has made good legislators forget the big picture: dental therapists give us the best chance of reducing pain and suffering for thousands of New Mexicans.

We already have waited four years to license dental therapists. Our Legislature needs to do the right thing and pass HB 306 before the end of this session.

No big business I read in The New Mexican that our Legislature approved House Bill 296, a bill to attract jobs to New Mexico by giving big businesses a discounted electricity rate by charging families and small businesses more. Are you kidding me?

I thought the Legislature was supposed to protect its citizens and encourage small businesses, not throw them under the bus to attract big business.

Public Regulation Commissioner Valerie Espinoza says she opposes this bill because it limits the PRC’s authority to protect customers in rate cases. She supports economic development, just not at the expense of others. I agree. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income who does not want my utility rates to go up just so we can have another big business in Santa Fe. Cynthia Cross

Santa Fe

Stop HB 296 Following a trend from the 2008 economic crash and

ultimate bailout, House Bill 296 will cut electric rates for big companies at the expense of working-class families, transferring more hard-earned dollars from the working class to the rich.

At a time when most working families struggle to pay their own utility bills, should we now help pay the electric bills for big, hugely profitable corporations? They claim it’s going to create jobs. Have you heard that one before? So the working class is now expected to help pay to create its own jobs?

There may be a chance to stop HB 296. It still has to be approved by the Senate Judiciary. Contact and urge your state legislator to stop this bill or remove the passthrough to small ratepayers. It’s bad for the people; it’s bad for the economy and will set a very bad precedent.

Let them chew gum In regard to the debate recently on guns or gum in committee rooms, it seems that guns won. But then, they always do. Our legislators missed the memo that it is not gum that kills people, but guns.

I have witnessed firsthand the effect that guns have on our Democratic process at the Capitol.

When we were fighting for House Bill 77 (now HB 44) last year, it was hard to get folks in committee rooms if they thought people would be carrying firearms. Recently, New Mexicans for Gun Safety planned a rally in support of HB 44.

One parent — who is a gun owner and supporter of the bill — felt it was important for her son to be there. To make sure that her son was safe, she arranged a bodyguard. Democracy in action? It is for those who are packing — packing guns that is — not gum.

differences that could easily be dismissed, but put all together, would make our choice very pleasant or very distasteful.

While the other candidates may have served various positions as steppingstones, Patti Bushee has served the people continually for 20 years in Santa Fe. Her only concerns are what are the best interests for people of Santa Fe. Patti Bushee is seeking the office for mayor for us to come together as one and rekindle the passion to achieve a better way of life for all of us, not only the special interest groups.

A house is a place where you merely exist, but a home is where you find meaning. It takes commitment of ultimate values to build a home. Patti Bushee wants to build a home for all of us in Santa Fe. Let us support those values.

finance his campaign while allowing political action committees, such as Progressive Santa Fe and Santa Fe Working Families to continue supporting his campaign, which takes the “level” out of “leveling the play field.” And although Mr. Gonzales leads us to believe that he has no connection with these PACs, I find it hard to believe.

Generally from what I’ve seen, special interest groups who invest monies into a candidates campaign tend to expect political favors and/or paybacks in return. I, for one, am tired of seeing politicians be bought and so I’m voting for integrity and honesty. I’m voting for Bill Dimas.

Trusting Patti I love Santa Fe. This is where I’ve raised my kids. It’s important to me that Santa Fe continues to be a healthy and vibrant place to live and that there is a mayor in charge who cares as much as we Santa Feans do. Rhetoric and dialogue will abound in the few short weeks before the election — but all I can say is that I trust Patti. That’s it. I believe that she has demonstrated in the last 20 years of service in Santa Fe that she has integrity and courage. That’s enough for me.

Unlevel field Pertaining to an opinion written by The New Mexican, they are right (“Get special money out of city election,” Feb. 13). There is no point to publicly finance campaigns unless special interest groups are completely banned from raising outside monies like what is going on in the mayor’s race. This loophole seems to allow Javier Gonzales to use $60,000 in taxpayer money to

Asked by The New Mexican to identify essential challenges for the city, Patti [Bushee’s] response, “First, we must stop making promises about job creation and start creating jobs.” The proof is in the pudding! Within the last 20 years, Bushee spent about eight years vigorously fighting Wal-Mart and the creation of jobs (300).

Opportunity for that many jobs has never been duplicated before the council. After the council approved the center and a brave change of vote by a council member and famous tie-breaker by Larry Delgado, The Coalition Against Big Box Stores went to District Court because of “parliamentarian maneuvers” (vote change).

Fast forward to four lost years of jobs. The coalition with Bushee’s help then appealed to the state Court of Appeals (which upheld the council’s vote), claiming Judge Freddie Romero had improperly excluded affidavits from councilors, one being Patti Bushee.

Want job creation? Vote for Javier. He is one of us.

ith just a day and a half remaining in the 2014 legislative session, the big job remaining is to pass a budget and to avoid having to return for a special session. That’s job one.

Of course, legislators will be trying to push other bills to the finish line. They should concentrate on legislation to improve New Mexico’s economy. A trio of bills backed by Think New Mexico, the same group that successfully championed full-day kindergarten and reformed the Public Regulation Commission, should be in the mix in the final hours.

The one that is furthest along — through the Senate and now in the House — is Senate Bill 9, which would create an online business portal providing a one-stop shop to file required forms and pay fees. The online stop would speed up paperwork and simplify the process, making it easier to do business in New Mexico. Eighteen states already are doing this, and New Mexico should join in. A companion bill, SB 8, attempts to increase entrepreneurship in New Mexico by attracting more international students to the state’s colleges and universities. How? By offering in-state tuition to students studying science, technology, engineering, math or business. The model is North Dakota, which began offering in-state tuition to many international students a decade ago. Today, 5 percent of undergraduates in North Dakota come from outside the United States, compared to 2.2 percent in New Mexico. Many of those students graduate and start businesses. Just as important is research that shows U.S. students who mingle with international students improve language skills and cultural understanding.

Of the three, we believe SB 10 has the most potential to impact the state’s ability to attract new businesses. The legislation would rebate 30 percent of new taxes created by a business expansion or relocation. The catch? The rebates come only after new jobs are created. There’s none of these multimillion dollar tax credits or incentives, only to see a company fold without actually hiring New Mexicans. This post-performance incentive has been active in Utah since 2008 and is credited with creation of more than 25,000 jobs there. It’s a no-brainer for the state that continues to lag the rest of the country in creating jobs.

Finally, we are encouraged that both Republicans and Democrats understand the importance of the Southwest Chief Amtrak route to rural Northern New Mexico counties. House Bill 241 passed 47-21 in House and is in the Senate. It would authorize the issuance of up to $40 million in severance tax bonds between 2016 and 2025 to fix the train tracks from Lamy to the Colorado border.

Without maintenance and repairs, the tracks no longer can accommodate the faster speeds of passenger trains. The Amtrak route so vital to small-town New Mexico would be relocated. New Mexico would join with Amtrak, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (track owners), Kansas and Colorado to make the fixes.

Rep. Roberto Gonzales, D-Taos, has placed contingencies in his legislation in case the other parties don’t allocate their share of the money.

We appreciate legislators who understand the need to act before BNSF stops maintaining tracks in 2016 — the livelihood of communities such as Raton depends on a healthy Southwest Chief route. This comment sums up the situation: “So many times we overlook the needs of the smaller communities,” said Rep. Don Tripp, R-Socorro.

“And this is an issue where we’re dealing with the lifeblood of a community — actually a region.”

During these final hours, we hope legislators keep those words in mind. The bills that get to the governor’s desk — whether making it easier for businesses to operate or keeping trains running through languishing small towns — could mean the difference between a thriving New Mexico or one that continues to stumble along.

Santa Fe’s independent booksellers are apparently less concerned about the controversial work, which has angered Moslem fundamentalists and led to death threats for its author, but they can’t offer the work either.

Council to decide raise for city workers Three-year deal would increase employees’ pay by 50 cents an hour, restore bilingual pay, personal day

By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

The city of Santa Fe and the union that represents the bulk of municipal employees have agreed to a contract that calls for an across-the-board pay raise of 50 cents an hour.

The proposed three-year contract, which goes to the City Council for approval next week, restores bilingual pay and a personal day that employ-

Police fear for safety of missing woman Santa Fe police announced late Tuesday that they are searching for Amanda CdeBaca, 33, who has been missing since Friday, Feb. 14.

The statement said the woman, described as 5-foot-8 and weighAmanda ing 145 pounds, CdeBaca with brown eyes and brown hair, was last seen by her daughter in Santa Fe. Police said CdeBaca may be with Thomas Ferguson, 38.

Thomas Family members Ferguson told police it is uncharacteristic for CdeBaca to not check in, especially with her teenage daughter, and they believe she might be in danger.

Police ask that anyone who has seen CdeBaca or Ferguson call the department at 428-3710 or Lt. Robert Vasquez at 955-5038.

ees lost a couple of years ago. It also increases shift differential pay — extra compensation for shifts that fall outside the normal workday hours — by 25 cents an hour.

The whole package, which would go into effect in July if it’s approved by the council, would cost taxpayers an additional $1.3 million annually.

“The $1.3 million is a fixed cost going forward if this contract gets approved,” said Isaac “Ike” Pino, direc-

tor of the city’s Community Services Department. Pino, who was on the city’s negotiating team, said negotiations lasted three months.

“I think the negotiations were fair,” he said. “I think they were tough, and I don’t mean tough as in they were hard to work with. I’m talking about tough subjects, trying to be fair and equitable.”

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3999 ratified the contract Friday night, said Nick Lovato, union president. The union has about 732 members. Only two of the 127 members who voted on the contract voted in opposi-

tion, he said.

“We’re just waiting to go to council to see how they’re going to vote on it,” he said.

The majority of the cost under the proposed contract stems from the pay increase. Union employees received a 2 percent raise two years ago, though Lovato dismisses it because there was a corresponding increase in insurance costs.

Pino said the performance of city employees “by and large” merits a raise.

“The great majority of those employees, I would say, deserve a pay increase because they’ve been working hard,” he

said. “They haven’t backed off because the city resources dried up a couple of years and there weren’t raises available or anything. They didn’t ratchet their performance down at all. They kept their performance high.”

Employees on the lower end of the pay scale could see up to a 6 percent pay increase.

“For the very high end, which are your union engineers, for instance, it might result in only a 1 or 1½ percent pay increase,” Pino said.

Candidates vow more spending on tourism Mayoral candidates Patti Bushee and Javier Gonzales pledged during a forum on tourism Tuesday to boost the amount of money the city spends to advertise Santa Fe. But Bushee and Gonzales offered different approaches to increase marketing dollars.

Gonzales said part of his plan would be to eliminate the transfer of about $600,000 in lodgers tax revenue into the city’s general fund and put it into marketing.

“That means that City Hall needs to do a better job of creating a budget structure that they can live within their means,” said Gonzales, adding that he also would work with Santa Fe County and tribal governments to pull marketing dollars together “so we can have a stronger, coordinated effort in bringing in tourists.”

Bushee said she would “explore the possibility” of refinancing the city-owned Santa Fe Community Convention Center.

Dozens of people attended the forum, which was held at the Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza and sponsored by the Santa Fe Lodgers Association and other groups. Bushee and Gonzales were asked a wide range of questions, all dealing with tourism, which is the city’s largest industry.

The third mayoral candidate, Bill Dimas, was invited to attend but has refused to participate in all head-tohead forums with his opponents.

Survey says demand from patients five times greater than legal marijuana available

By Phaedra Haywood

The New Mexican

T

here isn’t enough legally grown marijuana in New Mexico to meet demand from patients who have state permission to use it for medical purposes, according to a Department of Health survey.

The 9,760 patients enrolled in New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program use an average of 9.6 grams per week, amounting to a total annual need of about 5,110,726 grams (or 11,267 pounds), the survey says.

Meanwhile, licensed nonprofit producers and patients authorized to grow their own marijuana produce only 1,019,018 grams — or about 2,246 pounds per year. This means only about 20 percent of patient demand is being met through legal channels.

“Producers are hard-working; but the demand seems to be getting worse,” wrote one patient who completed the survey. “Wish there were more producers and that the current producers could produce more.”

Health Department spokesman Kenny Vigil said in a recent email that the department is “weighing its options about whether to increase production” and whether to increase the number of producers or the number of plants each can produce.

The Health Department paid former Medical Cannabis Program director Dominik Zurlo $47,000 to execute the survey — which was conducted in August and September 2013 by mail and telephone. Vigil said the survey was not put out to bid because the contract was for less than the $60,000 threshold for projects that require a request for proposals.

Vigil said the department did not believe hiring a former employee who was an advocate for medical marijuana was a conflict of interest because Zurlo was no longer employed with the state when he was awarded the contract. Vigil added that Zurlo has a master’s degree in educational psychology and is trained to conduct scientific studies and analysis.

“Mr. Zurlo’s experience working with the program in the past made him a knowledgeable and ideal candidate to conduct the survey,” Vigil said via email.

A total of 2,755 of the 9,760 patients enrolled in the Medical Cannabis Program — representing more than 100 different ZIP codes throughout the state — were randomly selected to take the survey; 2,000 were sur-

Angel Fire police to sell excess firearms

By Jesse Chaney

Sangre de Cristo Chronicle

ANGEL FIRE — The Angel Fire Police Department has too much firepower, according to Chief Warren Morey.

“The police department over the years has accumulated firearms that we’re just not using or are unlikely to use in the future,” he told the Angel Fire Village Council on Jan. 28, adding that he hopes to sell a dozen unneeded weapons.

Among the excess firearms are five Glock 31 handguns, five Remington 7615 rifles, and two

Kimber CDP II handguns, Morey said. Three of the Glock 31s are currently carried by officers, he said, but he plans to replace them with Glock 17s “because they’re starting to need a few parts here and there.”

“Rather than just piece together parts as they failed, we’ve ordered some new handguns. So that leaves us with these 12 handguns and rifles that we’d like the council’s permission to sell,” he said. “The five pump-action rifles are virtually in mint condition. To my knowledge, they were never used or issued. The handguns are in relatively good condition. The ones that have

seen the most use are those that we’ve actually issued and have been carried by officers over the years.”

Angel Fire Manager M. Jay Mitchell said state law permits the police department to sell the firearms at gun shows, but he wants the department to sell them directly to someone with a federal firearms license instead.

The department plans to sell the dozen guns to the highest bidder as a package rather than individually.

Fatal cop-involved shooting on video Witness records man’s death on cellphone during scuffle at rec area near Las Vegas, Nev. The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Dramatic videotape shows federal land management rangers and a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper scuffled with a 20-year-old man before he was shot dead during a confrontation on a road outside Las Vegas.

The cellphone video recording, posted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, shows a man trying to open the door of an Nevada Highway Patrol vehicle before he is shot and killed about noon Friday on state Route 159 near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

Authorities identified the man as D’Andre Berghardt Jr. of Los Angeles.

“They were yelling at him to show them his hands, to stop,” Reed said.

It wasn’t immediately clear which officers fired their weapons.

The officers weren’t identified, and BLM spokeswoman Hillerie Patton didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they were at work on Tuesday.

Highway Patrol officials did not immediately respond to messages.

The Clark County coroner said Berghardt died of multiple gunshot wounds. The death was ruled a homicide.

Bicyclists and joggers said that Berghardt had been seen walking on the paved shoulder of the highway with a rolling suitcase, a backpack and a bedroll.

NHP spokesman Loy Hixson said Friday Berghardt had been hailing cyclists as he walked along state Route 159 near Calico Basin, about 20 miles from downtown Las Vegas. Two cyclists reported the man to officials at the Red Rock visitor center about noon.

Hixson said the officers involved were not injured.

About 10 apparent gunshots can be heard at a crucial point of the nearly seven-minute recording taken through the windshield of a vehicle in a row of cars stopped in the westbound lanes more than 50 feet back on the two-lane highway.

The scuffle evolves slowly, with two Bureau of Land Management rangers confronting Berghardt standing in the highway and one apparently squirting Berghardt with pepper spray with little apparent effect.

Internal church files kept on priests accused of abuse were released last year under court order. They showed that Mahony, who was elevated to cardinal and retired in 2011, maneuvered behind the scenes with his top aide, Monsignor Thomas Curry, to shield molester priests, provide damage control for the church and keep parishioners in the dark.

When the files were released, prosecutors said the cases fell outside the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution of any church officials.

Mahony’s sworn testimony in the case of Aguilar Rivera is significant because it’s the first time he has been questioned under oath about clergy abuse since the confidential church files were released.

J. Michael Hennigan, an attorney with the archdiocese, said Mahony didn’t reveal a list of altar boys, also called altar servers, to police because he didn’t believe any of the alleged victims were among them. Mahony was in Rome and was not available to comment, Hennigan said.

“My recollection is at the time that memo was written there was no suggestion that altar servers were involved,” the attorney said, adding that Mahony was “very vigorous” in trying to get Aguilar Rivera brought back to the U.S. for prosecution after he fled.

“What I know is there came a time when whatever the police wanted we gave them and it was shortly after this, but I don’t know if the police ever reissued that request,” he said of the list.

Weisler said typical street deals sales involve a few grams of cocaine, and that multi-ounce deals are less common. He said such deals can involve “several thousand dollars per deal.”

Both brothers were arrested Thursday night.

The brothers made a $2,000 cash bond on Friday and were released from the Santa Fe County jail, though jail records indicate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed detainers on them.

Board appointee drops lawsuit LAS VEGAS — A former instructor who has been appointed to the New Mexico Highlands University Board of Regents has dropped his lawsuit against the school.

A federal judge last week granted a motion by Carl Foster’s lawyer to dismiss the suit.

It contended the university improperly handled a student complaint against Foster.

The Las Vegas Optic reports that the university said the case was dismissed without any financial settlement.

A legislative committee chairwoman had opposed confirmation of Sen. Susana Martinez’s appointment of Foster to the Board of Regents.

Sen. Linda Lopez said the lawsuit constituted a conflict of interest for Foster. However, Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell has said Foster’s lawsuit didn’t disqualify him or lessen his educational record.

Foster formerly taught special education at the school’s Rio Rancho center.

Funding for river study provided FARMINGTON — New Mexico is moving to set the stage for work to clean up the portion of the Animas River in northwestern New Mexico’s San Juan County.

The Daily Times reports that the state Environment Department will provide just under $290,000 for a watershed plan intended to open the door for future funding for specific antipollution projects.

Staff and wire reports

Aguilar Rivera was accused in January 1988 by two families who told church officials that he had fondled their children and, in one instance, climbed into bed with a boy after drinking too much during a Christmas celebration at the family’s home.

The priest was told about the complaints by Curry and fled to Mexico before police were notified. He remains a fugitive and is believed to be in Mexico.

In a Jan. 26, 1988, note on a memo about the police request for a list, Mahony wrote, “We cannot give such a list for no [sic] cause whatsoever.”

In the deposition, Mahony expanded on his reasoning. Allowing police to question altar boys at the two parishes where Aguilar Rivera worked would have created a “negative effect on a large group of altar servers who know nothing about any of this and that was — not a good idea.”

Official: Wildfire season will be long The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Recent warm weather, dry conditions and a spate of brush fires on the outskirts of major cities in Arizona and New Mexico are prompting warnings that the 2014 wildfire season is already underway.

In the Albuquerque area, Lt. Michael Everett of the Bernalillo County Fire Department said fire conditions are already dangerous because there’s been little rain or snow.

“It is starting early, and everybody needs to be aware, just be very careful,” Everett said.

In Arizona desert areas, Rural/Metro Fire Department spokesman Colin Williams said conditions are more like those typically seen in May, not February.

In fact, conditions in some places on the outskirts of the Phoenix area resemble the brush-choked area in western Yavapai County where 19 firefighters perished last year in the Yarnell Hill Fire, Williams said. “There’s a lot of fuel,” he said.

Williams said a humancaused brush fire near Saguaro Lake on the Phoenix area’s eastern outskirts on Monday was troubling.

“I was surprised about how hot it burned, how fast it moved, and how intense it was,” Williams said.

The flames jumped part

of the Salt River in one spot, which is flowing at a much lower level than normal, also because of the drought.

A brush fire in Belen, south of Albuquerque, was the fourth wildfire reported in the area in two days.

The fire burned a shed and several acres of grass.

There’s also concern in timber country in higher elevations where lower than normal precipitation levels have left forests vulnerable.

“Due to the unseasonably warm and dry weather during this winter, fire danger is very high and people should exercise extreme caution with smoking materials and campfires,” the Flagstaff Fire Department said in a news release about a fire that started in a transient camp in a wooded area.

Everett said his crew takes every smoke call it gets seriously and the fire season could be a long one. “It is going to get worse before it gets better,” he said.

The National Weather Service said temperatures in much of Arizona will dip closer to seasonal norms by Thursday but that dry conditions will remain.

In New Mexico, forecasters said “critical fire weather conditions” will likely return late Wednesday to areas without significant snowpack.

Girl wants dad to watch what he eats Dear Annie: I have an amazing dad. He coaches my lacrosse team and is always up for a game in the yard. But I am growing very nervous about his health.

Dad eats fast food every day at work and comes home to enjoy a home-cooked meal topped with a large amount of salt. He then sits in front of the TV with a huge bowl of buttered popcorn and a beer. If he’s not playing lacrosse with me in the yard, he gets no exercise at all.

Nothing is motivating my dad to watch what he eats. He is quite tall, so weight doesn’t show on him the way it might on someone else. But I happen to know that his cholesterol level is horrible, and no one could be healthy eating the way he does.

I have approached my dad many times about this and even offered to prepare a lunch for him. He either ignores me or shrugs his shoulders and jokes about it.

I have run out of ideas. I desperately want my dad to be healthy, but I don’t want him to think he’s being bossed around by his 12-year-old daughter. Any ideas? — Ignored in Louisville Dear Ignored: You are sweet to be worried about Dad, but please understand that until your father is ready to watch what he eats, nothing you say or do will make much difference.

He knows how you feel, he knows his cholesterol numbers, and chances are, your mom has also said something to him. He may wake up one morning and decide to be healthier.

Until then, however, the most you can do is love him the way he is and get him to join you for more lacrosse in the backyard.

Dear Annie: After 31 years of marriage, my son-in-law decided he was unhappy and wrote his own divorce papers. My daughter read them and made a couple of changes, and the divorce became final last year.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Reconsider a decision involving an older person or a higher-up. First, realize that it probably was an emotional choice. You could be overly passionate about an issue.

Tonight: A talk is likely to lead to a good time.

— Annoyed Grandma Dear Grandma: You are not obligated to send your ex-son-in-law a birthday card, but he was a member of your family for 31 years and probably still wants to be treated as such.

And if your daughter wants you to send him a card, it would be a kindness to do so. But for heaven’s sake, one of them should notify the children of their parents’ legal status.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Concerned Sister,” who said her sister’s clothing smells like her cat litter box. She wants her to store the litter box in the garage.

Maybe the sister simply needs to clean the box more often. Animals are fastidious, especially cats. They like a clean place to do their business. Too many people are too lazy to take proper care of the cat’s boxes.

I had seven litter boxes at one time. I cleaned them before I went to work, after coming home and before going to bed. Many friends visited me, and not one could smell the cat boxes.

(And don’t use perfumes or air fresheners to mask the smell. They don’t work and may drive away the cat.) Think of it this way: Do you like going into a restroom where the previous user forgot to flush?

As an added bonus to cleaning the box often, you will also be alerted if your kitty is sick. — 42 Years of Experience in Jacksonville, Fla.

UNM MEN’S BASKETBALL

prep wins district 1st regular-season title in 19 years for Blue Griffins

By James Barron The New Mexican

f

or most basketball programs, ending a 19-year drought would have been met with wild jubilation.

At Santa Fe Preparatory, it was simply a check mark on the boys basketball team’s to-do list.

That’s not to diminish what the Blue Griffins accomplished Tuesday with a convincing 63-35 win over Monte del Sol to wrap up the outright District 2AA regular-season title for the first time since 1995 in Prep Gymnasium.

But for a program that has rapidly gone from hoping to win to expecting to win in the span of three years, the significance of the moment might not hit until later.

There is a seed to earn in the Class AA State Tournament.

And a path to a state championship.

However, Prep head coach Dennis Casados pointed out to his team what it did.

“We had to remind them after the game about the big accomplishment on this floor that just happened,” Casados said. “I don’t know if too many people know what we’re doing here, but we’re excited about it.”

While there is a sense of accomplishment among the Blue Griffins (20-4 overall, 7-0 2AA), they have raised the bar to the point where winning the 2AA title was something like the next step toward their ultimate goal of being state contenders.

Still, it was just three years ago that Prep went 15-8 in the 2010-11 season and was left on the outside looking in for the postseason — a program that had yet to demand the kind of respect it gets readily now.

“At the beginning, our basic goal was to win district and get to state,” senior wing Diego Perea said. “That was because years before with [then-head coach Chris Chakeres] we would barely miss state. Now, it’s come from not expecting to win anything to expecting to win everything.

We’re at that level.”

Beware Khem Kong.

With a 20-foot wing span and wide-open mouth big enough to swallow a point guard, the paper and cloth creation of the UNLV student cheering section is almost as scary as the real thing.

Standing 6-foot-9, Khem Birch, the Runnin Rebels’ junior strong forward, is becoming one of the most feared shot blockers in all of college basketball. Averaging 3.8 per game, he ranks second in the country and, far and away, No. 1 in the Mountain West Conference.

The already clinched the district with a good news for the Lady Dons is that 7-0 record and it closes out the season they only have one game left on the schedule, which just so happens to be at Pojoaque, who it already beat 72-43.

Not much else to say here, except that against the Elkettes in Las Vegas on the Dons will beat the Elks to finish Wednesday. Win that game, and the Lady Dons secure a regular-season 8-0.

Moving along to 5AAA, the Albuquerque Hope Christian Huskies will finish the district with a perfect 6-0 record and they will make their way to the state championship, where they will beat district foe St. Michael’s for the second year in a row.

Now that we got all those districts out of the way, this is where all the fun begins.

On the girls’ side of 2AAAA, both Española and Santa Fe High sit at the top with one loss apiece. My prediction: Both teams have a playoff at a neutral site, probably Bernalillo. In that game, which will be the fourth meeting between these two teams this season, a slightly more talented and deep Santa Fe High will squeak past the Lady Sundevils for the regular season title.

But just like last year, Española will win the district tournament and

get a spot in the state tournament, where the Demonettes will make an appearance in the championship game. That’s a bold prediction, but I’m still not bold enough to say the Demonettes will win the state championship, even though they’re the best team in AAAA. Switching to boys, I foresee Santa Fe High and Española meeting at a neutral site to determine the district winner, since both can finish the district season 6-2.

While Santa Fe High is playing good basketball right now, the Sundevils will win both the regular season championship as well as the district tournament the following weekend.

All of these scenarios seem likely, but of course, I could be horribly, horribly wrong. Because I like being surprised, I hope I am.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — David Wise considers himself a dad and husband first, a freestyle skier second.

That might be why he also became an Olympic champion.

Soaring through sloppy snow and sleet, Wise won the first gold medal in the young sport David Wise of halfpipe skiing Tuesday, outclassing a field in Sochi that had trouble with the slow, waterlogged conditions.

Sightlines were less than perfect on the first true soaker of a night at the action-sports venue, but not so bad that Wise couldn’t look down from the top and see his wife, Lexi, and the rest of his family members cheering at the base of the halfpipe.

Many of them were holding big pop-out pictures of his 2-year-old daughter, Nayeli, stapled to wooden sticks.

“To see that face looking back up at me was cool,” Wise said.

After placing a heart-shaped rock Lexi gave him into one pocket, the 23-year-old from Reno, Nev., dropped

Surging Waldorf beats Evangel Christian

The New Mexican

After being blown out by 36 points at the hands of the Albuquerque Evangel Christian on Feb. 6, the Santa Fe Waldorf boys basketball team turned Waldorf 67 the tables on Tuesday night.

E. Christian 57 Behind a big surge late in the second half, the Wolves got a 67-57 win over the Eagles in Christian Life Academy to get a share of the District 5B lead.

Santa Fe Waldorf (13-10 overall, 4-1 5B) had a 35-26 lead at halftime, but they allowed the Eagles to get a lead in the third quarter. The Wolves then picked up the pace and went on a 22-14 run in the fourth quarter.

“We were breaking their press and getting some easy shots,” Santa Fe Waldorf head coach Rob Clifford said. “They were taking chances on defense.”

Sean Ramsey led the Wolves with 28 points, 19 rebounds and eight blocks, while Augie Ciofalo had 22 points and five steals. Nathan Bates had 25 points to lead Evangel Christian, and Tyler Bobbitt added 18 points.

MORa 68, PecOS 46

The Rangers continue to prove the old cliche that a team’s best offense is its defense. It’s a must for Mora, and a 23-5 scoring run in the third quarter turned a 31-24 Rangers lead into an insurmountable 54-27 edge heading into the fourth in a 2AA game in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium.

“If we play defense, we’re pretty good,”

said James Branch, the Rangers head coach. “As you know, we’re not that big and we rely on our defense to score in transition. That’s a big part of our game — we try to be very scrappy and disruptive.”

Casimiro Fresquez had 22 points to lead Mora (11-14, 5-2) , while Jerome Alcon added 12.

GIRLS alBuqueRque Sandia PRePaRaTORy 63, ST. Michael’S 51

The Lady Horsemen put points on the scoreboard, but they couldn’t keep the Lady Sundevils from doing the same thing in a 5AAA game on the road.

“We couldn’t stop anybody,” St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said. “They were faster than us [Tuesday], and we didn’t react so well. We left Santa Fe, and our defense didn’t come with us.”

Alex Groenewold led St. Michael’s (14-11, 2-3) with 14 points while Jocelyn Fernandez added 12. The Lady Sundevils were led

by Kalei Yepa, who scored 23 points.

St. Michael’s must beat Santa Fe Indian School, while Sandia Prep loses to Albuquerque Hope Christian for the Lady Horsemen to tie with the Lady Sundevils for second place in the district.

SanTa Fe PRePaRaTORy 57, MOnTe del SOl 42

The Blue Griffins were consistent in the scoring column, and that helped preserve a 17-2 lead after the first quarter in a 2AA game in Prep Gymnasium. It helped that the Lady Dragons’ lone inside presence, Amelia Gutierrez, was in foul trouble for

most of the game and finished with just seven points before fouling out. But Prep (13-9, 5-2) was in control well before that happened.

“We took advantage even when she was in there,” said Anika Amon, prep head coach. “We were able to get some looks away from her side of the defense, to where we could take advantage of our height.”

Still, Monte del Sol (11-12, 2-5) got within 55-45, thanks to 21 points from Alicia Roybal.

“We finally started to run the offense, hitting the open man and started knocking them down” Monte del Sol head coach Ralph Casaus said.

Alexis Mundt had 17 points for Prep, while Desiray Anderson added 15 and Joy Maran nine.

MORa 63, PecOS 44

The Rangerettes secured a third straight 2AA title by jumping out to a 23-10 lead after a quarter and inching the lead up to as many as 25 points against the host Lady Panthers in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium. It also secured the third straight 20-win season for the program and the fifth straight under head coach Mark Cassidy.

“Pecos came out and battled all night,” Cassidy said. “We played well and came out very strong in the first quarter.”

Gerty Herrera led the way for the Rangerettes (20-3, 7-0) with 18 points, while Destiny Pacheco added 15 and Briana Pacheco 12. Brooke Gallegos had 12 points for Pecos (8-17, 2-5).

Prep: 14th-straight victory for Blue Griffins Continued from Page B-5 Part of the change in attitude can be traced to Casados’ first season at the helm in 2011-12, when the Blue Griffins made a run through the 2AA tournament to win the title and then reach the AA semifinals for the first time. When Prep lost in the first round of the tournament last March, it left a sour taste in the team’s mouth — which has carried the program to unforeseen heights this year.

A 19-0 run that started late in the third quarter and turned a 38-28 Blue Griffins lead into a 57-28 margin sealed their 14th straight win and an unblemished 2014 portion of the season. The Blue Griffins seem to have an ability to turn on the defensive intensity and wilt most opponents into submission — a 66-53 win over Mora on Feb. 15 being the lone exception during the run.

“When you have a 19-0 run, mentally that will shut down most teams,” said Prep sophomore guard Francis Castillo y Mulert. “So, doing that to them, it psychologically put them in a different spot and they got frustrated. They started pushing it and forcing it, and that is an advantage for us.”

Until that point, Monte del Sol (13-11, 1-6) had played its usual pesky role. The Dragons were down 23-11 in the first half, but used a 7-1 run to get within 24-18, capped by Ryan Vanderham’s two free throws with 29.2 seconds left.

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

five seconds later — his fourth of the first half — turned the momentum back into Prep’s favor.

“It was a slow ball game,”

Casados said. “Francis lit it up from 3 in the first half to get us that cushion in the first half.”

However, Monte del Sol struggled to find a consistent

rhythm on offense. Vanderham battled a sore right hip and managed just five points. His ability to make teams pay from the perimeter when Antonio Tapia and Omar Ndiaye drive to the basket was a missing ingredient. The Dragons hit just 6 of 36 shots after making three of their first five, and only Tapia hit double-digits with 17 points.

“It was hard to get in [the paint],” said Nick Rivera, Monte del Sol head coach.

“They frustrated us, but the boys mad a couple of moves.

Their transition hurt us.

They’re not only big, but they can run. We’re not used to that.”

That was evident during the decisive run, as the inside duo of 6-foot-5 Ian Andersson and 6-4 Will Lenfestey combined for 12 of the Blue Griffins’ 19 points during the run.

Andersson scored 16 of his 25 points in the second half, while Lenfestey had 10 of his 12 after the break.

And while breaking a drought might be big for most programs, it was just business as usual for Prep.

“We can’t take this lightly,” said Castillo y Mulert, who had 14 points. “This is only the first step. We got the district championship, and we have to look at state. My team and I do feel really good about this win, though.”

It’s just that there are a few more check marks left on the list.

lobos: UNLV will focus on Bairstow, Kirk Continued from Page B-5 whose Lobos get a firsthand look at Birch and the rest of the Runnin’ Rebels when UNM visits the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.

The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. A win keeps the Lobos (19-5, 10-2) in pace with No. 6 San Diego State atop the MWC standings while UNLV (17-8, 8-4) is trying to climb off the NCAA Tournament bubble with a second win in as many tries against the Lobos this season.

For Neal, part of getting a win in one of the MWC’s most intimidating venues is dealing with Birch.

“You just got to be able to attack him,” Neal said. “You got to get to the line. You can’t let their pressure bother you.”

Part of that pressure is the athletic prowess UNLV’s talent-laden roster brings to the floor. Despite the team’s struggles at home — four losses this season — the Rebels are clearly a dangerous team that has had its fair share of success against UNM over the years.

Birch is a big part of UNLV’s plans.

“He’s already got my vote for conference defensive player of the year this year,” said UNLV head coach Dave Rice. “More than anything, he’s just a team guy. All he cares about is winning and doing his part. That’s

why he provides so much leadership for us.”

UNLV leads the conference in 3-point defense and rebounding. They’ve allowed an MWC-low 14 3-pointers through 25 games and are averaging 40 rebounds.

They’re also the top shot-blocking team in the league thanks to Birch. He has turned aside 95 shots.

He had a career-high nine blocks in UNLV’s latest win when it shot 69 percent in the second half of a solid road breakthrough at Utah State.

If it’s not Birch, the Lobos’ attention will certainly be on guard Bryce Dejean-Jones.

The team’s leading scorer at 13.7 points, he had a huge game against UNM in their first encounter.

“He’s a great one-on-one player, so we just need to give him a lot of attention,” said Lobos guard Kendall Williams. “He hit some tough shots in The Pit and got into a nice rhythm. It’s something where I’ve talked to the coaches and they’re going to let me get some time on him.”

Rice said his team’s focus will naturally be on UNM’s front court of Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk, arguably the two best big men in the entire conference. Bairstow is the league leader in scoring and field goal percentage and is gaining consider-

able support for MWC player of the year honors and several national awards.

“It’s pick your poison with them,” Rice said. “Certainly think about Bairstow and Kirk on the inside and how good they are, but then they stretch you with [Hugh] Greenwood and Kendall Williams.”

Wednesday’s game is part of an important week for New Mexico. The Lobos head home on Saturday to face leagueleader SDSU in the first of a four-game stretch in which three key league games will be at home.

Williams said the Lobos are already looking forward to the visit from the Aztecs.

Neal warned that their attention better be on UNLV — and only UNLV until the final buzzer sounds on Wednesday night.

“We’re only thinking about UNLV,” he said. “I don’t now if the kids should look anywhere ahead of what they do. They got beat by UNLV and their main focus should be on UNLV.” nOTeS u ESPN2’s broadcast crew will have Brent Musburger calling the play by play and Bobby Knight handling the color commentary. Saturday’s game against San Diego State will have former UNM head coach Fran Fraschilla handling the color commentary.

TASTE

By Carlos Andres López The New Mexican

L

ong before Manhattans, gimlets and cosmos, absinthe cocktails were all the rage. Born out of Switzerland as a pharmaceutical cure-all in the 1800s, the emerald-colored, licoriceflavored spirit eventually rose to fame as the drink of choice for the likes of Hemingway, Picasso and van Gogh.

“It was the hipster drink of the day,” said Chris Milligan of Secreto Lounge at the Hotel St. Francis. “It was just the cool thing to drink.

Most people don’t think of Vincent van Gogh as a hipster, but he was.”

However popular among artists and intellects in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries, absinthe never quite enjoyed the same success in the U.S. Tainted by a highly potent alcohol content and a reputation for educing hallucinogenic episodes, it was banned in this country shortly before Prohibition took effect, “The science at the time said that the thujone,” a chemical found in wormwood oil, the central ingredient in absinthe, “acted like cannabis,” Milligan said. “There was a lot of misunderstanding about what thujone was and how it affected the body. Many believed it to be a psychoactive drug.”

In 2007, Milligan said, research dispelled the rumored side-effect claims, ending the 100year ban in the U.S. But, he said, the stigma and controversy still surround absinthe, and it remains what he considers to be the most misunderstood spirit in the world.

“A lot of people don’t even know it’s back in the United States,” he said.

To help absinthe return to its former glory, and to separate fact from fiction, Milligan, a longtime Santa Fe mixologist and vintage cocktail aficionado, will host an absinthe-tasting class March 1 as part of Restaurant Week, which kicks off Sunday. Milligan’s tasting is one of several planned special events that are geared toward wine and spirit connoisseurs during the weeklong event.

“There’s a lot of new understanding about what absinthe is, and I want to share what I know about it, and dispel these truths and falsehoods,” he said.

For Milligan, there’s no better way to address the misconceptions than by tasting absinthe itself. To do that, he prefers the traditional cocktail. True to the word cocktail, the drink consists of three ingredients: absinthe, sugar and water (no bitters are added, since absinthe already contains bitter agents).

“When you make the cocktail, you put an absinthe spoon [a small, slotted spoon] over a glass and place a sugar cube on top,” he said.

“Next, you pour the absinthe over the sugar cube, which loosens it up, and then you drip very, very cold ice water over it.”

At that point, Milligan said, the absinthe will begin to louche — a process in which the absinthe transforms from a clear liquid to “a milky color” and releases its licorice, fennel and citrus flavors.

“When you add the amount of water you want, you just stir it up and enjoy,” he said.

Along with the signature cocktail and a short slideshow, Milligan said class participants also will get to sample three to four additional absinthe varieties and get to take home the namesake spoon.

Using a similar approach, Ayame Fukuda of Shohko Café will present a class Feb. 25 that will bridge the concept of umami and sake, the Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice.

“One of my goals is to show that sake can be paired with non-Asian food,” said Fukuda, daughter of Shohko and Hiro Fukuda, who founded the Johnson Street sushi cafe in 1975.

To do so, Fukuda said she’ll pair five different sakes with five different foods, including barbecue from Cowgirl BBQ. “Ultimately, I want every sake to be tasted with all the foods. So there’s going to be at least 25 different pairings.”

For Fukuda, umami, the term often used to describe the “savory fifth taste,” plays a vital role in sake-tasting, and it all starts with the fermentation process.

2014 Santa Fe Restaurant Week Entering its fifth year, Santa Fe Restaurant Week kicks off Sunday, Feb. 23, and will run through March 2 with more than 50 restaurants participating and nearly 20 events being offered.

Organized by Wings Media Network as a way to boost business during winter, Restaurant Week offers diners the chance to experience the state’s best restaurants at a fraction of normal menu costs. Some restaurants will be offering discounts and others will have prix-fixe lunches and dinners. In addition to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Taos also will host their own Restaurant Weeks.

For a complete list of participating restaurants, along with menus and prices, visit http://santafe.nmrestaurantweek.com/restaurants.

Sake is made from rice, water, yeast and koji-kin, a mold spore that breaks down starch molecules in rice grains with its enzymes during fermentation, she said. At the same time, the mold spore also helps to release the amino acid known as glutamate, which makes up the basic composition of umami, originally discovered in 1908 by a Japanese biochemist.

“When you eat something, and you go, ‘Mmm, that’s yummy.’ That’s umami,” Fukuda said. “You get it with meat, cheese, soy sauce,

mushrooms — and you get it with sake because amino acids are being released during fermentation. So to my knowledge, sake is the alcoholic beverage with the most umami in the world.”

Sake, therefore, works on a synergistic level when paired with other umami-rich foods.

Compared to wine, sake has three times more glutamates and is less acidic, Fukuda said.

“Most people don’t know this, but sake goes with more cuisines than wine,” Fukuda said.

“From Thai spicy to New Mexican spicy, sake can handle it. And all the stuff in the middle — Western sauces, raw foods, meats, vegetables, chicken — can be paired with sake, too.”

When buying sake, Fukuda said it’s important to understand how the varieties are graded. In Japan, she said, there are six premium grades of sake, which are regulated by how much the rice grains were polished before fermenting.

“The goal for higher-grade sake is to remove all oils, proteins and minerals,” she said. “The highest grade is called daiginjo-shu, which means the rice grains were polished off 50 percent or more before brewing.”

Below daiginjo-shu is a grade called ginjoshu, which means 40 percent of the rice grain was removed. The remaining grades, she said, are made with grains that were polished less and less.

“The higher-end sakes tend to be lighter, delicate and fragrant,” she said. “When there’s more oils on the rice, the sake tastes earthier and has a roughness. All sake is good, however, it just depends on your palate. ” For more information about sake and absinthe classes, visit http://santafe.nmrestaurantweek.com/events.

SAZERAC Sazerac is classic cocktail from New Orleans that features an absinthe rinse.

Courtesy Chris Milligan of Secreto Lounge Absinthe, for a rinse, about ¼ to ½ ounce ½ ounce simple syrup 2 dashes Peychaud Bitters 2 ounces rye whiskey (or Cognac or a combination) Wide lemon twist, for garnish Preparation: Pour absinthe in an 8-ounce old-fashioned glass, and swish it around to coat the inside of the glass. In a mixing glass, measure out and combine all other ingredients. Add ice to the mixing glass and stir for 10 to 12 seconds. Strain into the absinthe-rinsed glass without ice. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the lemon over the glass so that the oils spray into the glass, then drop it in. Enjoy with some good New Orleans jazz and dance like no one is watching.

Sweetness found in a slice of orange marmalade cake hint of orange in the light and tender cake crumb.

My version doesn’t stray far from his, though I couldn’t help tweaking here and there, like adding a little lime zest to diversify the citrus notes. The biggest change was increasing the marmalade. I put more in the cake batter and stirred some into the glaze as well. It makes the cake a little heavier than Slater’s, but worth it for the enhanced marmalade flavor.

Long before the food revolution in England brought us gastro pubs, Jamie Oliver and the Fat Duck, there was British marmalade.

Dense with chunks of candied Seville orange peel and darkened with Demerara sugar, marmalade is one of the gems of traditional British cooking.

The finest are thick enough to defy a hot crumpet by refusing to melt down its sides.

Crumpets may be the highest use for good marmalade, but the next best is to bake it into a marmalade cake.

I got hooked on this finegrained, citrus-scented butter cake on a long-ago trip to London.

Back in Brooklyn, I had to make it myself. There was no shortage of recipes online,

Some were for froufrou, layered affairs under fluffy snowdrifts of icing. But I was looking for something simpler and more like a pound cake,

Deeper than ‘Dazed’ The story behind Austin’s moon towers goes beyond Linklater’s cult classic film

Wilson’s home in Columbia, S.C., reopens as a museum

By Mark Oppenheimer The New York Times

T

here are two kinds of people who think it would be cool to move to Austin.

The first kind, which includes everyone from corporate suits to aspiring counterculturalists, is drawn to the new Austin, the Austin of the South by Southwest festival, of Dell computers, of fields of food trucks. The other kind of Austin aspirant is drawn to the old Austin, a lost Austin. We’ll call him Moon Tower Man. As the name suggests, he’s usually a man, and he’s loved Austin ever since, in his salad days, he was entranced by Richard Linklater’s classic Dazed and Confused. That 1993 movie, set in Austin on the last day of school in 1976, stars gas-guzzlers and classic trucks, cruising to a soundtrack of Aerosmith and Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foghat. It represents the old, eight-track Austin, and if you feel rushed by today’s spedup, broadband world, this romanticized Austin of the 1970s seems like an antidote. Every time I see the movie, I want to move there.

That Austin is, of course, mostly gone, replaced in part by the new Austin. But the moon towers remain. As fans of the movie know, that night in 1976 is pretty lame until somebody — it seems to be David Wooderson, played by Matthew McConaughey — pulls together a “beer bust” at “the moon tower.” Word spreads, and everyone assembles in the woods, under the bright glow of a tall tower with lights at the top. They drink, smoke weed, flirt, fight. A few teens even climb the moon tower. Of course they don’t fall. How could they? It’s a perfect night.

In real life, there aren’t many parties at the moon towers. None of them are in an isolated, woodsy, teen-party-friendly spot as in the movie. About 150 feet tall each, erected in 1895, the towers were an early urban illumination scheme. They used arc lights, six globes enclosing sustained sparks between two carbon rods.

Arc lights are efficient, and beautiful, but so bright they must be placed high above the city, hence “moon tower.” When Detroit, an early adopter, decommissioned some of its towers in 1894, Austin bought 31 and put them to use.

In time, Austin replaced the arc lights with newer bulbs and eventually took down half of the original towers. But the ones that remain are an essential part of the native lore, a reminder of an Austin even older than Linklater’s.

As a confirmed Moon Tower Man, I came to Austin in the fall to see the towers for myself.

The first one I saw was at the corner of Martin Luther King and Chicon, a boring, unpeopled intersection, where a moon tower stands at the far end of a parking lot and leers down at a convenience store. I was joined at the corner

by Wiley Wiggins, who as a 15-year-old played Mitch Kramer, who dares to climb the moon tower in Dazed and Confused.

Wiggins, now 37, grew up in Austin. He still acts, and also works in software. As a townie employed by two of Austin’s growth industries, film and computers, he is a living link between the old Austin and the new. I asked what he remembered of the moon towers, and he said that in his childhood they functioned mostly as legend.

“My knowledge of the moon towers comes from one or two near the University of Texas campus,” Wiggins said. “There’s a stretch of Guadalupe Street across from the university where all the punk rock kids panhandled.

There were coffee shops, record stores,

COLUMBIA, S.C. — After nearly a decade of renovations, the South Carolina home where President Woodrow Wilson lived as a teenager is reopening to the public as a museum not only about the politician but also the Reconstruction Era. The home where the 28th president of the United States moved at age 13 and spent his teenage years reopened Saturday.

Wilson’s father taught at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Columbia and was minister at First Presbyterian Church, where WilWoodrow son’s father, mother and sister are all Wilson buried.

The villa-style home built in 1871 is one of four historic sites for Wilson — along with his birthplace in Stanton, Va.; a home in Augusta, Ga., where he grew up; and the Washington, D.C., home where he lived after his time as president. The South Carolina home is the state’s only presidential site.

Saved from demolition in 1928 after residents protested, the historic home in downtown Columbia closed its doors and grounds to the public in 2005 when plaster fell from the ceiling in some of the downstairs rooms and water damage to the home’s foundation became evident.

“Rather than just start pulling out artifacts from those rooms that were affected, we decided to go ahead and close the whole site,” said John Sherrer, director of cultural resources at Historic Columbia, which maintains the property.

The $3.6 million project to restore the home, which is owned by Richland County, was funded through tax money and private donations. During the nearly decadelong closure, Historic Columbia spent that time doing a historic analysis, which determined details like the blueprint of the home when the Wilsons lived in it and what had been added and closed up in the decades since.

“The end result was a building that, structurally, looked like it did when the Wilsons called this home,” Sherrer said. “If Tommy Wilson [Woodrow’s nickname] and his family had showed up here in 2005, they’d be walking around going, ‘What’s that window doing there?’ or ‘How can we get from this room to that room?’ … Now what we have is a building that more genuinely reflects what they would have been accustomed to.”

The home also now has a new roof, shutters and a wood foundation that needed to be replaced because of water damage. The project also included a revamp of the home’s exterior paint scheme, which Sherrer says is now closer to what they would have been when Wilson lived there and is being replicated by preservationists working on other Columbia-area buildings from the same era. Once painted white and gray, now the home’s outside is cast in more vibrant but still earthy tones, with tan and brown trim and deep blue-green shutters.

“It’s exciting because this is a building that is important in its own right, but it’s magnified when people use it as kind of a historic preservation laboratory, and in so doing, they can apply those thoughts to their own properties,” he said.

Visitors to the Wilson home will see not only some pieces that are original to the property — including the family bed on which Wilson was born — but also reproductions from the era, like a desk that historians say is similar to one Wilson would have used as a teen. There also are reproductions of Reconstruction Era light fixtures throughout the home, and high-tech exhibits that allow visitors to virtually stroll through a map of 1920s Columbia, using their fingers to bring up information on sites around the city.

Exhibits detail Wilson’s personal life and the Reconstruction Era, when the family lived in Columbia. During the tumultuous time that followed the Civil War, federal troops lingered throughout the South, and the federal government exerted its power over affairs in the state, which had been the first to secede from the union. Blacks began voting and were elected to political office, and the era also saw the rise of white radical groups that sought to drive them out.

Other exhibits focus on Wilson’s presidency, which included passage of the Federal Reserve Act and World War I. Outside, the grounds include several outbuildings that can be used for special events and magnolia trees planted there by Wilson’s mother.

“It’s one thing to have a restored building. Everybody loves a restored building,” Sherrer said. “It’s another thing to have a restored building within an accurate and beautiful setting, and that’s what this is intended to be about.”

Austin acquired its moon towers, an early illumination system, from Detroit and began using them in 1895. The towers are about 150 feet tall.

quasi-bondage leather-goods stores. You’d get a lot of kids hanging out nearby on acid, talking about a friend of a friend who decided to talk to God and fell to his death. I don’t think any of those stories is substantiated.”

That night, after dark, I took a drive around Austin to look at whatever moon towers I could find. The extant towers cluster mostly north of the Colorado River, in residential areas that are hilly with plenty of trees; you can drive around these neighborhoods and, if you keep your eyes up, allow the moon towers to surprise you. Distance will play its tricks, however. You might figure that a moon tower is a quarter-mile in the distance, only to find it’s twice that far.

When you come upon one, it is like a street lamp, but much taller, and statelier, with a structured, metallic grace, like a miniature Eiffel Tower. If the moon towers are not, as it turns out, beacons for late-night keggers, they are something better. They are dignified yet homey: authoritative watchmen who, in their settings, are quite modest, with no airs. They are proud to light streets where families eat, sleep and play. They refuse to be monuments; they are like antique chairs that people actually sit on.

The moon tower at the corner of 11th and Lydia shines its light on the Quickie Pickie, which is open until midnight and has provisions for all hours: It’s a general store that

advertises beer, wine, coffee, rotisserie and ice cream. Inside, a woman working at the counter seemed unsurprised that I had come down from the North for the moon towers.

“They’re beautiful,” she said.

She gave me directions (bad ones, but I had nowhere to be) to a moon tower at Pennsylvania Avenue and Leona Street. As I passed that moon tower on my left, I looked right and saw a small park. The park was adjacent, I saw, to Kealing Middle School, which made me think how fortunate it would be to attend school next to a moon tower.

Yet school is out for the day by the time it is lit. Do the children even know what’s right there? The old-timers sure know, and there is even a Moontower Saloon on the south side of Austin (it’s not near any moon towers). But I mentioned the moon towers to two friends who arrived in the city about five years ago — and who live near moon towers — and they had no idea what I was talking about. Bruce Hunt, a historian of energy at the University of Texas, has written about the moon towers, and he was used to the towers’ low profile, as it were.

“They go on every night, but people don’t notice them, because there’s so much other light around,” Hunt said.

It’s one thing to know about the towers, quite another to climb them. I managed to track down one native Austinian who had actually done the deed: Kivett Bednar, 32, a musician and artist who now lives in Portland, Ore., but who graduated from McCallum High School in Austin.

“A lot of the kids would just get drunk in the neighborhood and end up climbing it,” Bednar recalled of a moon tower in the Hyde Park area. “I climbed it three or four times, and twice naked. I think I tied a McCallum T-shirt there. It was total ridiculousness.”

Climbing one could not be easy. The metal lattice of the towers, the part that one could scale, begins 15 feet off the ground.

By the time we pulled up alongside the moon tower, I was afraid to look over the side.

The wind was shivering our little basket, the temperature was around freezing, and even though I was clipped in, and knew I was safe, I could summon none of the pluck that Mitch, Pickford, Slater and “Pink” Floyd display in the movie, as they casually work their way up the inside of their moon tower. I crouched and huddled near the slatted floor of the metal basket.

To do otherwise, I thought, you’d have to be very drunk, very stupid or very high. Or maybe just very young, with the courage that descends on the last day of school.
