County, hospital sued in teen’s overdose death Lawyers say negligence played part, claim there were cover-up attempts By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Staff at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and the Santa Fe County youth detention facility failed to properly care for a 17-year-old who died of a heroin overdose while in county custody, claims a lawsuit filed on behalf of her estate. The state District Court complaint includes details about the death of Desiree Gonzales not included in previous accounts of what happened the night she died and accuses county employees of attempted cover-ups. “Her cries for help in the form of altered mental state, chest pain, anxiety, gasping for air, gurgling noises during breathing and completely stopping breathing were all ignored,” wrote attorneys Lee Hunt and Santiago Juarez. “The defendants demonstrated conscious disregard for the health and safety of Desiree Gonzales.”

PARIS — As many as six members of a terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks may still be at large, including a man who was seen driving a car registered to the widow of one of the gunmen, French police said Monday. The disclosure came as France deployed 10,000 troops to protect sensitive sites — including Jewish schools and neighborhoods — in the wake of the attacks that killed 17 people last week. Brothers Chérif and Saïd Kouachi and their friend, Amedy Coulibaly, were killed Friday by police after a murderous spree at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. The three all claimed ties to Islamic extremists in the Middle East.

Turkish officials say she is now in Syria. One of the police officials said the cell consisted of about 10 members, and that “five or six could still be at large,” but he did not provide their names. The other official said the cell was made up of about eight people and included Boumeddiene. One of the other men believed to be part of the cell has been seen driving Boumeddiene’s car around Paris in recent days, the two officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were

Aspen’s wealth gap In resort towns, workers pushed out as rich move in By Nicholas Riccardi The Associated Press

ASPEN, Colo. t first, Loly Garcia didn’t have to travel far to her jobs in the chic hotels of this fabled tourist town. She shared a tiny studio apartment with her father, brother and a cousin after arriving from El Salvador more than 20 years ago. But after she married and wanted a home of her own, she had to drive 23 miles west, past tracts of empty land and vacant mansions whose owners visit only a couple of weeks a year, to the mobile home park where she now lives. The drive eventually wore her down, and she decided to take lower-paying work closer to home. “That commute — it becomes 10 hours a week. It’s like working an extra day,” said Garcia, 49. “It’s hard to live here.” The divide between the haves and have-nots in Aspen reflects a division that cuts across the country: The richest are getting richer while the rest of the population is essentially treading water. From 2009 to 2012, inflation-adjusted income for the wealthiest 1 percent of U.S. households surged 31 percent, according to economist Emmanuel Saez of the University of California, Berkeley. For everyone else, income inched up just 0.4 percent. In Aspen, that division is magnified because the gap is geographic as well as financial. The people who clean the vacation homes, maintain the mansions’ gardens and work in the hotels must find housing in mobile home parks or subdivisions squeezed into the few acres of developable space dozens of miles to the west. A lucky few — about half of Aspen’s year-round population of 6,700 — are able to score units in the town’s unusual affordable housing program that, on the open market, would sell for millions each. Meanwhile, residents who struggle to find affordable real estate watch an increasing number of houses in town become rarely inhabited vacation properties. “It’s a mirror image of Detroit, where wealth, not poverty, is driving population down,” said Mick Ireland, a former threeterm Aspen mayor.

Aspen’s dilemma is similar to that of other resort towns, from Nantucket, Mass., to Park City, Utah, especially those nestled in the jagged terrain of the western United States. In the West, vast tracts of public land and sheer mountain faces prevent the easy development of suburbs to house workers, pushing clusters of more affordable housing many miles away. The jobs in these communities are largely in the lower-paying service industry, yet the resort towns are a destination for the global upper class, said Bill Hettinger, author of Living and Working in Paradise, a book on resort towns. Aspen’s median family income of $71,000 is higher than the state average. But the further “down-valley,” or to the west, you drive, the more incomes drop until you hit Glenwood Springs, 51 miles west, where the median family income of $54,000 is below average and carpenters, plumbers and other laborers regularly spend hours commuting to Aspen. The situation would be worse had Aspen not gone to extraordinary lengths to try to avoid being hollowed out by the departure of middle-class and workingclass residents. Financed by a 1.5 percent charge on real estate sales and a mandate that any new projects include affordable housing, the city and county run a 40-year-old program that allows people who have worked for one year or longer in Aspen to rent, or buy, cheap residences. Doctors and lawyers, as priced out of most homes here as carpenters and bartenders, take advantage of the program. Everyone in town praises the program for maintaining a critical mass of year-round families that give Aspen a more lived-in feel than many of its competitors. Adam Frisch, 47, an Aspen city councilman, father of two and former banker, said he doesn’t feel the town has changed, just the severity of income inequality nationally, which shows up here in a concentrated form. Jose Herrera moved to Aspen from Mexico. The 25-year-old construction worker can’t afford the prices in town and lives dozens of miles away in a mobile home park. But he doesn’t resent the wealthy. “The company where I work builds houses for rich people, and because of that it pays well,” Herrera said. “One way or another, we help each other out.”

PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia — Divers retrieved both black boxes Monday from the AirAsia plane that crashed more than two weeks ago, key developments that should help investigators unravel what caused the aircraft to plummet into the Java Sea. The flight data recorder was pulled from beneath a piece of the aircraft’s wing and brought to the sea’s surface, and the cockpit voice recorder was found hours later, said Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, operation coordinator for Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency. The two instruments, which emit signals from their beacons, are vital to understanding what brought Flight 8501 down on Dec. 28, killing all 162 people on board.

Cuba releases final prisoners ISLAMABAD — A senior U.S. official says Cuba has completed the release of 53 political prisoners that was part of last month’s historic deal between the United States and Cuba. The official, who was traveling with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the issue on the record. The official said the U.S. has verified the release of the prisoners. The prisoners had been on a list of opposition figures whose release was sought as part of the U.S. agreement last month with the Cuban government.

Pope wants dialogue in Asia COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Pope Francis is bringing a message of interreligious and interethnic harmony to a Sri Lanka still recovering from the wounds of a brutal, quarter-century civil war and on the heels of new international religious tensions over the Paris attacks. Francis is expected to press his call for greater dialogue among people of different faiths during his visit to Sri Lanka, a mostly Buddhist Indian Ocean island nation. Pope Francis arrived in Sri Lanka on Tuesday morning to start a highly anticipated sixday visit to Asia that will also take him to the Philippines.

In brief

Markets fall as crude oil prices drop NEW YORK — Falling oil prices dragged the stock market lower on Monday as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and other big energy companies sank along with crude. Sam Stovall, the U.S. equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ , said that it seems that every day brings another drop in Wall Street’s earnings forecasts. “What’s happening is that we’re seeing the very low bar for fourthquarter earnings raising anxiety,” Stovall said. “It’s the continued decline in oil, but it’s also that nearly half of the S&P 500’s revenues come from overseas. Japan is in recession, and Europe is teetering on the edge of it.” In a wide-ranging note to clients, Goldman Sachs slashed its forecast for oil prices. It now estimates that that crude will average $50.40 a barrel this year. Monday also marked the unofficial start to the fourth-quarter earnings season. Analysts expect big corporations to turn in modest results for the fourth-quarter, forecasting earnings growth of 4.6 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ. Tiffany & Co. cut its outlook for annual profits and posted weaker sales in the holiday season. The jewelry retailer’s stock fell $14.44, or 14 percent, to $89.01, the biggest drop in the S&P 500.

Senate advances Keystone bill despite veto threat

Duncan: Keep tests, add preschool funding

By David Espo and Dina Cappiello

Education Secretary Arne Duncan spelled out his priorities for a new federal education law on Monday, calling on Congress to build in funding for preschool, add $1 billion annually in federal aid for schools with the neediest students, and maintain the federal mandate that says states must test students every year in math and reading. Duncan spoke at Seaton Elementary, a high-poverty school in the District’s Shaw neighborhood. He was supposed to visit a classroom, but school was delayed by freezing rain and none of the mostly Latino and African American students were present. He talked broadly about equal educational opportunity as a civil right — and as a moral and economic imperative for the country — and included specific ideas he wants incorporated in federal law. Any new law must include a provi-

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Legislation approving construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared an initial Senate hurdle Monday, a victory for newly empowered Republicans angling for a quick veto showdown with President Barack Obama. The bipartisan 63-32 vote was three more than the 60 required, and well above the level the highly controversial measure ever gained in recent years when Democrats controlled the Senate. The measure has sparked intense debate over the Canada-to-Texas pipeline’s potential impact on employment and the environment. While the project was proposed six years ago, the White House opposes the legislation as long as the administration is still conducting its formal review. But with more than enough votes at their command, Republican and Democratic supporters said they hoped the legislation could win final approval and be sent to the White House by the end of next week. “President Obama has every reason to sign the jobs and infrastructure bill that we will pass,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. He noted that the Nebraska Supreme Court had recently rejected a legal challenge brought by opponents, an obstacle the White House had cited. Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, made the case for the opposition. He said that if constructed, the pipeline would carry “some of the dirtiest, most dangerous and most polluting oil in the world.” He called the project “anti-clear water, anti-clear air, anti-public health.” The proposed 1,179-mile pipeline would begin in Canada, enter the United States at Morgan, Mont., cut across South Dakota and connect with an existing pipeline in Steele City, Neb., that in turn reaches refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast. It would carry an estimated 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day. The White House has repeatedly threatened a veto. If Obama follows through, it will become the first of what are expected to be numerous clashes with the Republican majorities now in control of both houses of Congress. By bringing the legislation to a vote swiftly after taking over the Senate majority, Republicans hope to achieve two goals at once. Passing the measure is the first. Ushering in a new era of open Senate debate, with the opportunity for lawmakers to seek votes on proposed changes, is the second. “It’s the latest example of Congress getting back to work under a new Republican majority,” said McConnell, in a jab at Democrats who have generally blocked votes on amendments over the past few years. Democrats said they welcomed that, and some readied proposed changes that would try to put Republicans on record concerning climate change. The pipeline project has unanimous support from Republicans in Congress, but it divides Democrats. Environmentalists generally oppose the legislation, while several unions support it for the jobs it would create. There was significant debate over both the proposed project’s impact on the environment and on the economy.

sion that states test every student annually in math and reading in grades three to eight and once in high school, he said. “I believe parents, teachers and students have both the right and the need to know how much progress all students are making each year toward college and career readiness,” Duncan said. “That means all students need to take annual statewide assessments that are aligned with their teacher’s classroom instruction.” Duncan’s speech came amid growing anti-testing sentiment among an odd

alliance of parents skeptical of standardized tests, unions that say using test scores to evaluate teachers and schools has warped education and conservatives who want to shrink the federal role in education. Sen. Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate education panel, said he plans to work with the ranking Democrat, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, on an aggressive timetable to deliver a bill to the Senate floor next month. A former U.S. education secretary, university president and governor, Alexander has criticized the Obama administration for dictating education policy to states and acting as “the national school board.” He is considering ending the federal testing mandate, saying it has prompted states and local school districts to pile on more tests during the school year to measure if students are ready for the federally required exam at year’s end. The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, the country’s two major teachers unions, want to replace annual tests with age-span testing, which would evaluate students once in grades three through

five, once in grades six through eight and once in high school. “That fixation on high-stakes testing has eclipsed all else, to the detriment of our schools and our kids,” said Randi Weingarten, the AFT’s president. “That’s what we hear from teachers, parents, students and communities every day. And that’s why we are for grade-span testing for accountability purposes.” In his remarks, Duncan acknowledged that “there are too many tests that take up too much time” and that Congress should direct states to limit the amount of time that students spend taking tests and require parental notification if a school exceeds that limit. He said he was alarmed by Republican congressional leaders who want to cede power over schools back to states. Doing so would “turn back the clock on educational progress, 15 years or more,” he said. The Obama administration wants to add a program in federal law to fund preschool for low-income children. President Barack Obama has unsuccessfully asked Congress to add pre-K to the K-12 system in his annual budget request, saying that it is the most cost-effective way to help disadvantaged children.

Death: Hearing before judge is next Continued from Page A-1

Police officers and French soldiers patrol Rue des Rosiers, in the heart of Paris’ Jewish quarter, Monday. France on ordered 10,000 troops into the streets to protect sensitive sites amid the hunt for accomplices to last week’s terrorist attacks that left 17 people and the three gunmen dead.

Others: ‘The threat is still present,’ prime minister says Continued from Page A-1 not authorized to discuss the investigation with the media. They cautioned that it was not clear whether the driver was an operative, involved in logistics, or had some other, less-violent role in the cell. An Interior Ministry official declined to comment on an ongoing investigation, and a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office was not immediately available for comment. One of the police officials also said Coulibaly apparently set off a car bomb Thursday in the town of Villejuif, but no one was injured and it did not receive significant media attention at the time. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the manhunt is urgent because “the threat is still present” from the attacks. “The work on these attacks, on these terrorist and barbaric acts continues … because we consider that there are most probably some possible accomplices,” Valls told BFM television. The nationwide deployment of troops would be completed by Tuesday and would focus on the most sensitive locations, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said. By midday Monday, soldiers and police filled Paris’ Marais district — one of the country’s oldest Jewish neighborhoods. About 4,700 of the security forces would be assigned to protect France’s 717 Jewish schools, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said. “A little girl was telling me earlier that she wanted to live in peace and learn in peace in her school,” Cazeneuve said on a visit to a Paris Jewish classroom, where the walls were covered with children’s drawings of smiling faces. “That’s what the government, that’s what the Republic, owes to all the children in France: security in all schools, especially in the schools that could be threatened,” he added. The children listened and waved Israeli and French flags. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the kosher market. Volunteers, meanwhile, recited prayers over the bodies of some victims as they were prepared for burial by the Jewish Burial Society in Paris. The attacks began Wednesday with 12 people killed at the publication Charlie Hebdo, which had lampooned Islam and

other religions, by gunmen the police identified as the Kouachi brothers. Police have said, however, that the attack was carried out by three people. Authorities said Coulibaly killed a policewoman Thursday and then killed four people at the kosher market Friday before he was slain by police. Video emerged Sunday of Coulibaly explaining how the attacks would unfold. French police want to find the person or persons who shot and posted the video, which was edited after Friday’s attacks. Boumeddiene was seen traveling through Turkey with a male companion before reportedly arriving in Syria with him on Jan. 8 — the day after the Charlie Hebdo attack and the same day Coulibaly began his murderous spree by killing the policewoman. According to security camera video shown Monday by Turkey’s Haberturk newspaper, Boumeddiene arrived Jan. 2 at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport. A highranking Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the woman on the video was Boumeddiene. Turkish intelligence then tracked Boumeddiene from her arrival. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told the state-run Anadolu Agency that she had stayed at a hotel in Istanbul with another person before crossing into Syria on Thursday. She and her traveling companion, a 23-year-old man identified as Mehdy Sabry Belhoucine, toured Istanbul before leaving Jan. 4 for a town near the Turkish border, according to a Turkish intelligence official who was not authorized to speak by name. Little was known about Belhoucine. Her last phone signal was Jan. 8 from the border town of Akcakale, where she apparently crossed into Islamic State-controlled territory in Syria, the official said. Their Jan. 9 return plane tickets to Madrid went unused. Late Monday, the website of the newspaper Liberation, which has been hosting the Charlie Hebdo staff, posted an image of the next cover of the satirical weekly. It featured a cartoon of a bearded man in a turban with a tear streaming down his cheek, and holding a sign: “Je Suis Charlie” — “I Am Charlie.” Overhead was the phrase: “All is forgiven.”

U.A. admits representation error in Paris march WASHINGTON — The White House, facing a storm of criticism for President Barack Obama’s absence from Sunday’s peace march in Paris, said Monday that his team erred in failing to dispatch a highranking U.S. official to join the show of solidarity against terrorism. But French officials quickly rejected the idea that Obama had snubbed the event. “It’s fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there,” Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman, said at his daily briefing with reporters, which was dominated by questions about the lack of a prominent American presence at the march. Asked to respond to critics who questioned the decision not to send a more

recognizable U.S. official other than Jane D. Hartley, the United States ambassador to France, Earnest said: “We agree.” Yet he offered no rationale as to why no such representative — including Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who hastily traveled to Paris to attend a counterterrorism meeting there on Sunday — made an appearance. He said that the decision had not been made by Obama. President François Hollande of France let it be known on Monday that he was not among those offended. “President Obama supported France in their common struggle against terrorism,” said Claudine Ripert-Landler, Hollande’s head of communications.

homeless man who had frequent violent run-ins with law enforcement. Video from an officer’s helmet camera showed Boyd appearing to surrender when officers opened fire, but a defense lawyer characterized him as an unstable suspect who was “unpredictably and dangerously close to a defenseless officer while he was wielding two knives.” “I’m looking forward … to the DA’s office presenting one single witness that says this is murder,” said Sam Bregman, a lawyer for Sandy. The district attorney said her office’s decision was a lengthy and deliberate process involving several members of her staff. “We have evidence in this case to establish probable cause we didn’t have in other cases,” Brandenburg said at a news conference Monday, comparing Boyd’s death with other allegations of excessive force by the department. Each officer faces a single count in the March death of 38-year-old Boyd. The charges allow prosecutors to pursue either first-degree or second-degree murder against the officers. Even before Boyd’s death, the U.S. Justice Department was investigating the use of force by Albuquerque police. The department recently signed an agreement to make changes after the government issued a harsh report. The agreement requires police to provide better training for officers and to dismantle troubled units. Since 2010, Albuquerque police have been involved in 40 shootings — 27 of them deadly. After Boyd’s death, outrage over the trend grew and culminated with protests that included a demonstration where authorities fired tear gas and another that shut down a City Council meeting. The criminal charges were the first Brandenburg has brought against officers in a shooting. She is in her fourth term as district attorney and is waging a fight with the Albuquerque Police Department over allegations that she committed bribery while intervening on behalf of her son in a burglary case. Police believe she should be charged with bribery because, they say, she offered to pay a victim not to press charges. The Attorney General’s Office is handling the matter. Brandenburg said the charges against police had nothing to with the agency’s investigation into her and that her office got the case long before the bribery claims came to light. The next step in the case will be a preliminary hearing where a judge will decide whether the case can proceed. The officers have not been booked or arrested. That would not happen until a judge renders a decision at the preliminary hearing. A date has not been set. Brandenburg has been criticized for her office’s decades-old practice of using grand juries to affirm prosecutors’ decisions that no probable cause existed to charge officers in shootings.

A screen shot of a photo from James Boyd’s MySpace page, registered under Abba Mobus Abaddon, taken a few days before his death.

Under a revamped system, county prosecutors now decide whether there’s probable cause that a crime was committed and either take the case to a grand jury or opt to file a “criminal information” charge on their own. Bregman said there is “not one shred” of evidence to support the case and insisted the officer had no criminal intent when he encountered Boyd. He said Sandy followed training procedures outlined by the police department. Luis Robles, an attorney for Perez, said he was “confident that the facts will vindicate Officer Perez’s actions in this case.” The FBI is also investigating, but U.S. authorities have not said if the officers will face federal charges. David Correia, a police critic and an American studies professor at the University of New Mexico, said he was pleased that Brandenburg finally brought charges against Albuquerque officers after years of pressure. “This is the first time an independent agency is holding Albuquerque police accountable,” Correia said. Police are legally empowered to use deadly force when appropriate, and a 1989 Supreme Court decision concluded that an officer’s use of force must be evaluated through the “perspective of a reasonable officer on scene rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.” Philip Matthew Stinson, a professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio who studies police misconduct, found that local officers were charged in 41 cases with murder or manslaughter stemming from on-duty shootings between 2005 and 2011. By comparison, over the same period, police agencies reported more than 2,700 cases of justifiable homicide by law enforcement officers to the FBI, and that statistic is incomplete. The figures suggest it’s difficult to get a conviction “because juries are so reluctant to second-guess an officer’s split-second decision,” Stinson said. The New York Times contributed to this report.

Plan: Marks $50M for development Continued from Page A-1 keep moving New Mexico forward.” The foremost differences between the governor’s plan and the budget proposal from Finance Committee staff are in areas that both recommendations purport to prioritize: education and economic development. The governor’s budget, developed by the Department of Finance and Administration, calls for $68 million in new spending on public schools. The Legislative Finance Committee’s budget seeks $71 million in new money for public education. While the committee’s proposal would award raises to teachers of all experience levels, the governor’s plan would increase base pay for new teachers to $34,000 a year from $32,000. The Republican governor’s budget makes no provisions for increased pay for teachers with intermediate experience, and it would financially reward veteran teachers whose students demonstrate improvement. Some Democrats have greeted preivous merit-pay plans with resistance. “There’s been an effort from both the administration and the Legislature put more dollars into [education]. The big sticking point is the way the dollars should be spent,” said Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, who serves on the Legislative Finance Committee. “It’s a message that we’re sending that we want to entice new teachers to come into the profession, but we’re not doing anything to show we value them, both when they come into the profession and after years of service. In order for us to have a prosperous education system, we need to value the educators who’ve been there all along.” Martinez contends that policy reforms, such as merit pay to reward successful veteran teachers, will improve the state’s education system. Other key education expenditures in her proposal include $4.7 million for new textbooks, providing teachers $100 debit cards to buy classroom supplies, and $1.5 million to recruit teachers for hard-to-fill positions in areas such as special education, math, science

and bilingual instruction. The vice chairman of the Legislative Finance Committee, Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, said he believes there’s room for compromise on education. “It’s the same old argument about education funding that’s been there the last few years. The total spending on education is pretty much in line,” he said. “I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of differences that will divide the executive from the Legislature, because there’s not a whole lot of new money. I’m sure we’ll find a middle ground. There’s no option. We’ve got to pass a balanced budget.” One of the largest chasms between the two budget proposals involves Local Economic Development Act funds. The program, often viewed as an incentive to spur economic activity by offering developers money for infrastructure improvements, would get $50 million under the governor’s plan and $30 million under the Legislative Finance Committee’s proposal. “There’s probably going to be some disagreement there. That’s going to be a subject to compromise on,” Smith said. “But overall, I just don’t see a lot of difference that would generate a meltdown in the Legislature on the budget.” As the Legislature prepares to convene its 60-day session Jan. 20, the Legislative Finance Committee and the Governor’s Office are in agreement on key budget initiatives, such as setting aside about 8 percent for operating reserves and spending about $10 million to bolster child-protection staff. Both budget offices also agree a great deal of revenue uncertainty exists because of the declining price of oil. The governor’s budget office reported that economic forecasts point to a rise in oil prices during the 2015-16 budget cycle and expressed optimism that consumers over time will spend the money they save at the gas pumps on other consumer goods.

Overdose: Suit claims girl was treated with ‘reckless indifference’ Continued from Page A-1 case and referred questions to Hunt and Juarez, neither of whom was available for comment Monday. County officials and hospital representatives declined to comment on the pending litigation. County officials have remained tightlipped about the matter since the teen’s death, saying they cannot discuss specifics because Gonzales was a minor. The lawsuit claims the county violated Gonzales’ civil rights and is liable for negligent acts leading to her death. The complaint alleges that the hospital was medically negligent. A police report said Gonzales and a

friend had been using heroin May 7 at an apartment complex in the 1400 block of Zepol Road, and that it had been a while since she had last used the drug. Gonzales was suffering from a heroin overdose when she first arrived at the hospital, but the facility rushed to discharge her so the agency could “pass off a problem patient with an outstanding warrant,” the lawsuit claims. The attorneys also noted that the hospital doctor said Gonzales needed two hours of observation, yet she only received an hour and 12 minutes of observation following the overdose. The lawsuit states that emergency responders gave the girl a Narcan dose at 7:45 p.m. before taking her to

the hospital, where she was admitted at 8:40 p.m. The suit says the doctor discharged her at 9:52 p.m., which, the lawyers argue, endangered the teen. The lawsuit claims that failures continued at the county detention center, where the girl was treated with “deliberate and reckless indifference.” The attorneys wrote that a county nurse was called but refused to see Gonzales, although the lawsuit doesn’t identify the source of that information. The attorneys claim the nurse failed “to gather any information” and later created false documents for “the sole purpose of attempting to avoid responsibility for Desiree’s death.” The complaint says a guard at the

county facility informed his supervisor that the 17-year-old had trouble breathing but didn’t call for medical attention for the teen. The guard later told emergency room personnel that he had found her struggling to breathe at 11 p.m. and didn’t check on her again until he found her unresponsive at 1:43 a.m. May 8. He later wrote in a report that someone had checked on her every 15 minutes, waking her at one point. Medical personnel at the hospital noted the change in his account, the lawsuit states. Another county officer, the lawyers wrote, saw Gonzales having trouble breathing at 1 a.m. but failed to do anything. The lawyers also stated that the

youth detention center didn’t have the resources to treat Gonzales, including any supply of Narcan. The lawsuit also states that the deputy warden failed to create policies that would protect those suffering from medical conditions, and it says an administrator took no action when notified of Gonzales’ distress. “The refusal to provide basic care to a young woman who was worsening is deliberately indifferent to her health and safety and shocks the conscience,” the attorneys wrote.

School board may give voters final say on tax hike District’s legislative plan includes an amendment allowing public vote on Education Technology Notes By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Voters angry over the increase in property taxes imposed upon them by the Santa Fe school board last year may be happy to see the district moving to give voters the final say on the action. Among the school district’s ninepoint legislative plan, presented by lobbyists Linda Siegle and Virginia Vigil to a group of about 20 people Saturday afternoon, is support of a

legislative amendment that would allow a public vote option to authorize Education Technology Notes, a plan that pays for new technology at all the schools in the district. Right now, the law does not allow for a public vote, giving school boards full control over the matter. Last year the board, following state mandates, voted to approve a property tax increase to fund $55 million in technological upgrades. Though the action was well publicized at the time, prop-

erty owners were not happy when they received their bills this past autumn and saw significant increases in their taxes. “When everyone got their tax bills, we got a lot of phone calls,” Geno Zamora, general counsel for the district, told the assembly Saturday. “We’ve heard from the public that they want a vote on it.” The district has to find a legislative sponsor to introduce any of its bills during the upcoming 60-day session, which begins on Jan. 20 at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe. However, even if the technology bill goes through, the board will still have to approve — without voter approval — renewing the note

this spring before any new legislation becomes law. Many of the district’s legislative initiatives are repeats from last year including increasing the amount of “above the line” funds for education — which give districts more control over how state funds are spent — and maintaining the 5.8 percent level of contribution to education from the state’s Land Grant Permanent Fund. That distribution, which comes from interest earned on the fund, is scheduled to go down to 5.5 percent this year and then down to 5.0 percent by 2016. “That can mean hundreds of millions for schools,” Siegle said.

Snowy, icy weather hits New Mexico

In brief Police: Shots fired on Rufina Street A 16-year-old girl told Santa Fe police that her adult ex-boyfriend shot at her apartment in the 3200 block of Rufina Street after confronting her new boyfriend on Monday afternoon. Lt. Andrea Dobyns said police who responded to a call about a shooting in the area were canvassing the neighborhood when the girl told officers that her ex-boyfriend went behind the apartment and discharged about four gunshots before he left the area. No one was injured, Dobyns said, “and there was really no real property damage.”

Driving was made difficult by snow and ice in the lower Rio Grande Valley on Monday afternoon as forecasters predicted more snow across New Mexico. A foot of snow or more is forecasted for elevations above 6,500 feet from Monday evening through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque. The service issued a winter storm warning and winter weather advisory for the western and central parts of the state Monday. A trough in the upper atmosphere pushed freezing rain and snow from west to east across the state Monday evening followed by an upper level low pressure system expected to drop into the state Tuesday with more snow. Tuesday predictions indicate heavy snow that will primarily impact northwestern and north central New Mexico with some snow east along Interstate 40. The state’s northern mountain peaks could receive up to 20 inches of snow. Major snow impacts are expected on Interstate 25 from La Bajada south of Santa Fe and north to Raton Pass on Tuesday. Significant snow impacts will shift south on Wednesday, impacting the Upper Gila and northern Sacramento Mountains, according to forecasters. Major impacts on Interstate 40 from Grants to Gallup and on N.M. 550 to the Continental Divide are expected through Tuesday night. Snow showers should calm down on Thursday, though the northern portion of the state could experience freezing fog. Forecasters expect the weather to quiet down over the weekend but computer models indicate another snowstorm is headed toward the state early next week. Travelers can check road conditions at nmroads.com. Weather forecasts and storm reports are available at www.srh. noaa.gov/abq/.

The district also plans to introduce legislation that would decrease the amount of time it takes an educator to earn an administrative license to serve as a principal, from six years to somewhere between three and five years. Saturday’s 90-minute session was designed to inform constituents on how the legislative session works, how to advocate for public school spending and how the state budgeting process plays out. Siegle said lawmakers often prefer to hear from constituents rather than lobbyists. She urged citizens to get involved in the political process during the session to support public schools.

A Los Alamos High School graduate won a close race Sunday to become the first female president of Croatia. Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi, who spent her senior year in Los Alamos and graduated in 1986, was elected with a little more than half the vote. Grabar-Kitarovi, a conservative populist, defeated incumbent Ivo Josipovic, a left-of-center law professor and classical music composer, in a close race, according to The Associated Press. Eugene Schmidt, superintendent of Los Alamos Public Schools, said GrabarKitarovi took a variety of classes during her brief stint at the high school. “It appears she was a serious student. Her grades were quite good,” Schmidt said. In a place known for world-class scientists and a school that proKolinda duces future research- Grabar-Kitarovi ers, Grabar-Kitarovi, 46, is the first graduate in 1986. to become president of a country, as far as Schmidt knows. “It’s created quite a buzz in our community,” he said. Grabar-Kitarovi was born April 29, 1968, in the village of Grobnik near Rijeka, Croatia, according to several news sources.

The state’s Higher Education Department stalled the project, arguing that the Legislature had to approve it before it could open. The college sued the state over the issue and in 2012 a district judge ruled in the college’s favor. At that time there was some confusion as to whether all credits earned by community college students would automatically transfer to the partner institutions. Estrada said that now all credits will transfer seamlessly. The Higher Education Center will host a grand opening celebration, replete with ribbon cutting and speeches, at 1 p.m. Wednesday. The public is invited and the event will include tours of the facility.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Mexican gray wolves will be able to roam a greatly expanded area in the Southwest under the first major changes to a reintroduction program that has stumbled through legal battles, illegal shootings and politics. The wolves currently roam about 7 million acres of federal, tribal and private land in far eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico. Up to 325 of the animals eventually will be allowed to disperse south of Interstate 40 to the U.S.-Mexico border in both states, and the number of release sites will grow, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Monday. “This larger geography really provides us with the opportunity to get a more genetically robust population,” said Benjamin Tuggle, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Southwest Region. Conservation groups had mixed reactions to the announcement and vowed to sue over the changes. They said the changes allow for fresh DNA in the wild to prevent wolves from inbreeding and the animals could establish territories outside of the recovery area. However, some were worried the predators would be subject to killings and the target population of between 300 and 325 doesn’t allow for a reasonable chance of recovery. The Fish and Wildlife Service faced a Monday deadline to revise the reintroduction program under a settlement reached with the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity. “It has been a frustratingly long process, and it’s really a

pity that science appears to have been abandoned in the final management rule,” said the group’s Michael Robinson. The federal government began reintroducing wolves along the Arizona-New Mexico border in 1998. Biologists had predicted a selfsustaining wild population of 100 wolves by 2006 but came up short. The last count in January 2014 showed at least 83 wolves in the wild in the two states. Ranchers and community leaders in rural areas have opposed expansion efforts, saying wolves that don’t find deer or elk to feed on could turn to livestock and domestic animals instead. Under the Fish and Wildlife proposal, livestock owners could kill any wolf that is biting, wounding or killing livestock on federal land. Pet owners could do the same. Tribal officials could request that any wolf on American Indian land be removed without reason. The animals would have to be proved problematic elsewhere to warrant removal, Tuggle said. The agency also announced Monday that Mexican gray wolves will be listed as an endangered subspecies. Environmentalists sought the listing in 2009. Environmental groups sued the Fish and Wildlife Service last year for not crafting and implementing a valid recovery plan with measurable goals. The Arizona Game and Fish Department has also threatened to sue over the lack of a recovery plan. Tuggle said the reintroduction program would help guide the recovery plan but didn’t say when it would be completed. “We’re eager to start that process,” he said. “We just got out of this process and we want to make sure we get a good, strong start with our partners and explaining the nuances with our new rule.”

Deadly crash prompts calls for more safety measures at N.M. 599 intersections, Jan. 11 I commuted on N.M. 599 for years, and I’ve seen all of this and more. Typical scenario: I’m in the right lane going 55. Someone turns right into my lane from an intersection ahead of me, going about 30 mph, so I move into the left lane to go around him, still driving at 55. He speeds up until he’s also going 55. Whereupon someone driving a lot more than 55 roars up behind me and rides my bumper, furious that he can’t pass us. So I have the unpleasant choice of either slowing down, which will further infuriate the driver behind me, or exceeding the speed limit to get ahead of the car to my right. All of the 599 intersections either need to have stoplights (with no right turn on red) or should be reconstructed to allow drivers to enter the highway at higher speeds. The Airport Road intersection has had stoplights all along, and the number of accidents there is far less than those at the uncontrolled intersections.” P.L.

MY VIEW: ANNA MARIE RONDON

Navajo people have suffered enough

A

s a tribal member of Navajo Nation, I share the concerns of others about Public Service Company of New Mexico continuing its dependence on coal and nuclear and the impacts that will have on our people. I am concerned about the asthma and lung disease caused by burning coal and the contamination of coal ash to our water and air. I also want to draw attention to the part of PNM’s plan for the energy future that relies on more nuclear power. Of course, we know that nuclear power is risky and expensive. There’s a reason nuclear energy isn’t viable without massive government subsidies and taxpayerfunded liability insurance. And the decommissioning costs for a single nuclear plant would bankrupt many countries. But beyond financial considerations, nuclear energy fundamentally violates the laws and beliefs of the Navajo people. Navajo law recognizes that some substances of the Earth are harmful to people and should not be disturbed. Navajo law specifically recognizes uranium as one such substance. It is well-known that the Navajo have suffered as a result of uranium mining and processing over the past 70 or 80 years

— the impacts on the health of uranium workers, the permanent sacrifice of our water supplies, and the harmful effects of air and water contamination on whole communities. As a result, almost 10 years ago, our nation instituted a ban on uranium mining and processing. It is deeply disturbing that any of the Public Regulation commissioners would support a plan by PNM that relies so heavily on nuclear power derived from the very resource that has damaged our people so severely. I have been working on uranium exposure issues since 1978 in indigenous communities in the Southwest and on Diné (Navajo) lands. We also helped craft, with former Navajo Nation President Peterson Zah, the first uranium mining moratorium for the Navajo Nation in 1992. Most of the Public Regulation Commission members don’t represent communities affected by uranium or coal, so they have to work a little harder to imagine the devastating impacts of dirty coal and nuclear energy on a community. But ask yourself whether you would prefer to live next to a solar or wind farm or in the shadow of a coal plant or a uranium mine. If you’re honest with yourselves, then I

think we all agree which energy path we should choose. It’s only fair. If the PNM executives had to live within a mile of the energy plants that they make so much money from, then there would be no coal and nuclear plants. The rich don’t like pollution, contamination, ugliness; we don’t either. There are negative economic consequences and risks of coal and nuclear. Especially when there is little issue with the affordability, safety and reliability of wind and solar, why wouldn’t the PRC choose these resources for the utility? Renewable energy is a win-win-win for our economy, for public health and for consumers, not to mention our vulnerable climate. The impacts of the PRC’s decision will be felt by another generation or more of Navajo. Of my people. And we have suffered enough. Anna Marie Rondon of Vanderwagen is a Diné woman who has been working on social and environmental issues for years — from the Alcatraz takeover to today for justice and seeking equal protection for all life. She is a community planner and public health advocate.

I don’t think traffic lights are the answer. This “ highway wasn’t planned very well and is especially hazardous to residents of the Aldea and neighboring communities. Put in clover leafs at least and close the intersections that cross the highway. What were they thinking? Even going the speed limit (which no one does) is deadly.” L.M. Pojoaque education program taps gambling funds, Jan. 10

“

Casinos thrive on people’s greed. People win $100 and want to increase to $200 or more and finally everything they won, plus a lot more. It is good that Pojoaque Pueblo is using those revenues to provide scholarships for their members while a huge percentage of people who patronize these gambling joints have lost there life earnings. … Also The New Mexican and the other newspapers contribute to compulsive gambling by carrying casino ads. The newspapers and the casinos are as greedy when it comes to the almighty dollar.” J.M.

“

How much money must the Pueblo of Pojoaque pay The Santa Fe New Mexican to compel them to become the pueblo’s own PR firm? What about the education of the rest of New Mexican children? What about the opinion of the pueblo’s neighbors, who are left to deal with the devastating effects of compulsive gambling and the degradation of our communities into dens of gambling and corruption? I have now given up. Your newspaper has been sold out to Native interests and has no interest in covering the impact of gaming and sovereignty on the vast majority of the residents of these communities.” H.N.

“

All concerned should be proud of the system [Pojoaque has] created, and I wish it would set an example for the political decision-makers in Santa Fe when they convene next week. Thanks to The New Mexican for giving us the in-depth look at what the pueblos are doing with casino revenue that the state is falling short of doing with not just Native American children but also the rest of New Mexico’s most important resource.” J.G. Our View: Don’t harass concerned citizens, Jan. 8 Citizens must have the right to redress and it “ should be encouraged. The court found merit in Mr. [Norm] Gaume’s lawsuit and issued the restraining order. I applaud Mr. Gaume for his diligence and for caring enough to do the work necessary to try and make a difference and stop a wrong. … Our state does not need to get into the business of legally challenging our citizens for being responsible citizens, but they do need to be transparent in all their dealings and obey the open-meetings laws.” C.D. I would guess that most people haven’t read the “ First Amendment all the way through (although it is only 45 words long). The final clause guarantees ‘the right of the people … to petition the government for a redress of grievances.’ ” D.G. Whether it’s at the state or federal level, government has a history of squashing pests that get in the way — whether it’s through lawsuits, the IRS or other agencies that have the power (and deep pockets) to go after troublesome citizens.” P.N.

LOOKING IN: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Time to move toward clean energy I t is time for Public Service Company of New Mexico to move forward with the use of clean-energy methods. We have them. What we do not have is another environment when and if this one is destroyed. It is time to stop thinking about profit and start thinking of protection. Protection of a world for future generations. Clean air and clean water are priceless. These things, I can assure you, are the greatest profit of all. Trade in that new fancy car for a gas saver. Put on an extra sweater before we crank up the heat in our homes. Little changes and big changes. Make big changes like getting a massive progressive movement underway in how we control and produce energy in this wonderful country. Make clean energy a stable, not a stigmatized, idea. New Mexico can help lead the way. It will not be easy. For it is hard for industry to hear anything over the roar of money, money, we want money. Change must be heard. We must continue grass-roots organizing. We must make everyday changes in our own lifestyles. We must protest every day and night, peaceful but determined, until we see change. PNM, the time is now.

Presidential obsession In the past month, there have been numerous references to a story by John Casey, a NASA scientist who says the global warming issue is completely trumped up and will be proven so year after year when the temps get progressively cooler. He says the U.S. spends $22

billion a year financing research and regulating industry, etc. That’s twice as much as would be required to secure our border. I think former Vice President Al Gore and New Mexico U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich should go to New York’s Long Island and measure where the water level is compared with 25 years ago and tell us how much the oceans have risen in this time frame. Maybe it would help the president get over his obsession with the U.N. idea that we’re ruining the planet with CO2 emissions and get on with living and doing some things the American people want done. When a leader/ruler continually does things against the will of the people of the country, that makes him a tyrant. His dismissal should be initiated. Don Omey

A welcoming nation Our country finds itself at a crossroads. The past months have uncovered an animosity that is growing within our politics. At a time when we need steady courage

in Congress, extremism finds a way to blot out any movement toward bipartisanship. Still, like President Barack Obama, I believe we are fortunate to have a moral issue that can break this hostility: immigration reform. America is what it is today because of the voyages of people who made the journey into our borders during the 19th and 20th centuries. Fleeing from oppression, immigrants often came with nothing except the determination to start again and create a new life. Through them, national industry blossomed, ushering in unprecedented prosperity. Today, we have a similar opportunity. Instead of acting upon anxiety, we can meet our new brothers and sisters seeking citizenship with deep compassion and friendship. If we can recognize that our journeys are inherently interconnected and build a stronger community through our shared experience, we will inevitably be better off and healthier as a nation.

License to sell Regarding the recent story, (“City panel nixes S.F. man’s street performer license,” Jan. 6), I am a patron of Tom Dukette’s sage business. I have purchased bundles from him through the years and give them as gifts to my family for special occasions. Most recently, Dukette’s sage graced the Nativity scene in our living room during Christmas. Why would the city interfere in something so pure as selling sage? The issue seems to be about his performer’s license. Why cannot the city allow a business license for roving vendors? Is the city not aware of the value of selling sage? This is something unique to Santa Fe. People value Tom Dukette and the sage he provides. The ban on him selling sage seems to be a ban on our rights as humans to engage with one another on a level above conventions. The city must adapt to Dukette and his sage business. Nicoletta Munroe

Need to screen Eight million women in the U.S. ages 21 to 65 years have not been screened for cervical cancer in the past five years,

according to a recently released Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At the same time, the CDC ranks New Mexico as 10th in the country per capita for cervical cancer incidence. No woman should die from cervical cancer. As a forensic pathologist, I examine cells and tissues to diagnose disease that can cause death, such as cervical cancer. Simple and effective screening tests, such as the Pap test and the high-risk HPV test, have made cervical cancer one of the most preventable cancers. And, with approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the HPV vaccine is available to protect young people against this deadly disease. January is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. I urge women to take inventory of their health and schedule a cervical cancer screening test. Share this information with your mothers, sisters, aunts and girlfriends. And, if you’re a parent, speak to your child’s pediatrician about having your daughter or son vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. These are simple steps you and your loved ones can take to live healthier lives.

Fossil fuel myth Alex Epstein’s recent column (“There’s a moral case for fossil fuels,” Looking In, Dec. 30) is largely based on the myth that fossil fuels are cheap. The truth is, we have no idea what the true cost of burning fossil fuels is. At the gas pump, we pay only the short-term costs of producing fossil fuels, not the deferred costs of dealing with climate change resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. Epstein suggests that the best way to deal with climate change is to continue contributing to the problem by burning more fossil fuels until some unknown solution comes along, never mind that many scientists believe we are rapidly approaching a time when climate change will be irreversible. It is immoral to leave the problems created by climate change to future generations. Bob Peters

inally, criminal charges are being filed against police officers after a fatal shooting of a civilian. It’s about time. Not because officers who shoot unarmed suspects are necessarily guilty of murder, but because people deserve to know that all suspected lawbreakers — whether police officers or ordinary citizens — must face the consequences of their actions. The charges came Monday in Albuquerque, when District Attorney Kari Brandenburg announced that two Albuquerque Police Department officers each will face a single count of open murder in the death of 38-year-old homeless man James Boyd. The March shooting stunned Albuquerque and the nation when a video of the officers trying to arrest Boyd was shown all over the world. The video shot from an officer’s helmet camera during a standoff between police and the man appeared to show Boyd — who was carrying two knives — trying to surrender when he was gunned down in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. The death sparked protests in Albuquerque and a sense of outrage from citizens that the police force was out of control. (Today, the Department of Justice is working with APD to reform its police department and reduce the use of excessive police force.) SWAT team member Dominque Perez and former Albuquerque Police Department Detective Keith Sandy now must answer for their actions that day in a court of law. This is a necessary step. Albuquerque’s police department has a poor record in its interactions between officers and citizens, with more than 40 police shootings since 2010. Of those, 27 have been fatal. So commonplace are shootings, the Albuquerque Journal ran a Jan. 1 story pointing out that it had been five months since police had shot a civilian. The gap was long enough that it had to be remarked upon. By choosing to file charges, the district attorney is making sure that the officers who shot Boyd are held accountable. These charges will go before a judge who will determine whether to hold the offiicers over for trial. A criminal trial also can be a place where the climate of APD can be examined. Why, in Albuquerque, are there so many shootings of citizens by the police? One relative of a victim told the Journal that even an indictment — not a conviction — is essential, because “it will show cops they are not untouchable.” Other district attorneys should follow Brandenburg’s example in this case. File criminal complaints, if necessary, and make sure that police officers cannot get away with murder, that they face charges just like anyone else. The officer’s job is a difficult one, with danger lurking and ungrateful citizens facts of life. Police work hard and long to keep us safe. However, it is because the police officers jobs are so important — ensuring the civility and safety of our streets — that they cannot be seen to be lawless. Police, like Caesar’s wife, must be above suspicion.

The past 100 years COMMENTARY: RAMESH PONNURU

Tax reform unlikely in upcoming year

T

ax reformers’ hope springs eternal, but don’t bet on a big tax deal in 2015 or 2016. Don’t bet on a medium-sized one either. The parties are too far apart to enact a sweeping reform of the U.S. tax code that includes the personal-income tax. Most Republicans want fewer tax breaks, lower rates and especially a lower top rate, and they don’t want the total tax burden to rise. Democrats want fewer tax breaks, too, but they count different provisions as “breaks.” And they want to increase revenue. Maybe those differences could be bridged, though it would be extremely hard. But there’s a bigger problem: The Republican insistence on lower rates is impossible to reconcile with the Democratic concern that the top 1 percent of earners has too much money, too much power and too much influence over the

government. It might be possible to lower rates and scale back tax breaks in a way that increases the top 10 percent’s share of the tax burden. But there’s no way to do so without shrinking the burden for the top 1 percent. The benefit of a lower rate for them will always be bigger than the benefit of tax breaks. That means that a lower top rate is going to be off limits for Democrats. But for Republicans, lowering that rate is the main point of getting rid of tax breaks. No deal. OK, then, what about corporate tax reform? Most Republicans and Democrats agree that the corporate tax rate should be lowered and tax breaks for companies should be scaled back, right? In theory, yes. Here, though, the difference between the parties on what counts as an unjustified tax break are an obstacle to a deal. Many

Democrats want to make companies write off the cost of investments over a longer time frame than they do today. A reform that does so would increase the tax burden on new investments by corporations, which makes it on balance a step backward from Republicans’ point of view. Assume, though, that congressional dealmakers could find a way around that issue. The probably insuperable problem that’s left is that small businesses mostly pay taxes under the individual rather than the corporate tax code. Those small businesses saw their tax rates go up in 2013. That creates a political problem for corporate tax reform: It seems unlikely that Congress would now cut rates for big businesses while offering no relief for most small businesses. Ending this impasse would require a new approach, as

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

Rep. Devin Nunes, a California Republican, has been urging for some time. He thinks that all businesses, however organized, should be able to write off the cost of an investment in the year the cost is incurred. He would make up for the lost revenue by ending tax breaks for companies’ borrowing. But that’s still a minority position in Congress. A broader reform of the income tax, meanwhile, will require one of two things to happen. Either one of the parties needs to back away from some of its commitments, or one of them needs to gain unified control of the government and then make its version of reform a priority. Be prepared to wait a while. Ramesh Ponnuru, a Bloomberg View columnist, is a senior editor for National Review, where he has covered national politics for 18 years.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 13, 1915: Washington — Suffragists declare they are undiscouraged by the defeat of the Mondell amendment last night. The vote was 204 to 174. The following plans are being considered for the continuation of the fight: Passage of the Shafroth-Palmer suffrage resolutions now on the Senate calendar; passage of the federal measure whereby women could vote for senators and representatives, passage in the states of a bill permitting women to vote for president. Jan. 13, 1965: Washington — President Lyndon Johnson proposed a sweeping new immigration law to Congress today. It is based on an immigrant’s skill and his family ties in the United States. It would do away with the 40-year-old national-origins quota system; Johnson called the quota system “incompatible with our basic American tradition.” Instead, immigrants would be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis, within a system of preferences based on work and cultural skills and family unity. Jan. 13, 1990: What it costs a middle-income family to live in Santa Fe rose sharply in the third quarter of 1989, mainly because of higher housing costs, a report shows. In the three-month period ending Sept. 30, the cost of living was 13.4 percent higher than in the average community in this country. The city and county are being encouraged to adopt a campaign to compost yard waste, which makes up about 15 percent of residential garbage.

LOCAL BUSINESS

General fund reserves: State lawmakers’ BFF I

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

t first blush, Mira Rubiano is the last person most would expect to start a yoga/indoor-cycling studio. Rubiano has what she calls a schizophrenic résumé that includes a Fulbright scholarship, a stint at the World Bank and a journalism career that included working for National Geographic in Brazil. She speaks Spanish, French and Portuguese and has spent a good portion of her adult life living abroad. In comparison, running a yoga studio, especially one in Santa Fe, seems mundane. Rubiano is well aware of the dissonance, which she has struggled to address in her head for the past decade. “I didn’t want to identify as a yoga teacher,” she said. “Through yoga I was able to accept that being a Fulbright and being a yoga teacher aren’t mutually exclusive.” She and her husband settled in Santa Fe in 2013 after living in Europe, Brazil and the West and East Coast. She has been researching and planning Thrive since April 2014. She’s preparing to launch Santa Fe Thrive in the Solana Center within the next two months. Right now the space is skeletal, drafty and dusty, but Rubiano said the construction is all cosmetic. The business will be a family affair that she’ll run with her husband and with aid from her parents. Last week she gave a guided tour, pointing out spaces for showers, a yoga floor and the indoor-cycling room. As she discussed the nuances of antimicrobial floors and other minutia, it was clear Rubiano has channeled the same energy into this project as her past endeavors. Rubiano has a decade’s worth of experience teaching yoga — she has spent thousands of hours teaching — and spent much of her life cycling indoors. She will offer a variety of classes, including a style of heated yoga called Vinyasa. She is also certified as a Mad Dogg cycling instructor. Thrive is taking over the space of the Stag Tobacconist shop, which moved to a new location on Cerrillos Road. Rubiano joked that the smoky odor just barely dissipated in the past weeks. The studio likely will benefit from the health-conscious crowd that frequents the nearby La Montanita Co-op grocery store, and possibly from the adjacent dance studio, Dance Station.

Rubiano plans to launch Santa Fe Thrive within the next two months.

Generally, the Solana Center receives a frequent stream of visitors, the majority of whom are locals, Rubiano said. Like most studios, Rubiano will offer drop-in rates, class packages and unlimited yoga sessions for a monthly fee. She said she looked at the rates for every other studio and indoorcycling venue in town and set her prices at the median. Like other yoga studios, patrons will be able to take advantage of free showers and changing rooms and a complimentary towel service. Rubiano also bought 20 Sch-

winn AC Performance Plus exercise bikes for the cycling classes. Rubiano said she will employ about a half-dozen yoga instructors for the sessions and a handful of cycling teachers. She also said she would like to partner with the local cold-pressed juice company, Verde, and sell its products. She added that she would like to partner with more local businesses as the studio grows. Tentatively, Rubiano said the studio will offer from three to four cycling classes and four to five yoga sessions during the

week. They will be scheduled throughout the day. She likely will offer fewer classes during the weekend. And despite her previous globe-hopping, Rubiano said Thrive will likely serve as a Santa Fe anchor. “It’s a wonderful place to come home,” she said. “We immediately felt inspired here. We knew it was going to happen.” Contact Chris Quintana at 9863093 or cquintana@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @CQuintanaSF.

ARLINGTON, Texas hio State can add the newest version of the national championship trophy to a case that already has a bunch of the old ones. The Buckeyes’ thirdstringer matched Oregon’s Heisman winner as Cardale Jones led Ohio State past Marcus Mariota and the Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football Playoff national championship game Monday night at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys. Behind their bullish backup quarterback and the relentless running of Ezekiel Elliott, the Buckeyes (14-1) completed a remarkable in-season turnaround with a dominating performance against the Ducks (13-2). “The chase is complete,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “It’s done. It’s over. They accepted their final mission, their final assignment and their final directive, and they did it. That was our whole mantra this last couple of weeks. A job well done, and we’re very grateful.” Ohio State began the first

O

major college football playoff as the fourth and final seed, and as a team that faced questions about whether it belonged at all. It was a team that never would have had a chance to win a title under the old postseason system. No question about it now: Ohio State is the truest champion big-time football has ever crowned, showered by golden confetti as its band played “Hang on Sloopy” when the clock hit 0:00. Meyer’s Buckeyes overcame two injured Heisman contenders and one awful early season loss at home to Virginia Tech to win their first national title since 2002. Back then, the Bowl Championship Series decided the top team at the end of the season — usually. Before that, it was up to The Associated Press and coaches’ polls to sort out which team was best, with a little help from the bowls. The Buckeyes have three of those championships, too. And Meyer now has three, adding this one for his home state team to the two he won for Florida. He matches Alabama’s Nick Saban as the only coaches to win national championship at two schools. It’s taken just three seasons in

Columbus for Meyer to put the Buckeyes — and the Big Ten — back on top, with a team that looks built to last. Elliott, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries. In the last three games against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon, Elliott had 696 yards rushing. “It was our dream. It came true,” Elliott said. “With all the stuff we went through to get here, it’s just crazy. It doesn’t feel real.” Jones, who took over three games ago for the injured J.T. Barrett (who had taken over at the start of the season for the injured Braxton Miller),

passed for 242 yards and a touchdown and ran for score. The 250-pound third-year sophomore proved he could keep up with Mariota — at least on this night. Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but the Ducks’ warpspeed spread offense missed too many red-zone opportunities and couldn’t unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee and an Ohio State front seven stacked with future NFL draft picks. “We fought through a lot of stuff,” Mariota said. “We ended up short tonight, but that shouldn’t take away from what we were able to do this year.” Even with the benefit of four Ohio State turnovers, the Ducks were held to their lowest point total of the season, four touchdowns below their average coming in. Oregon has done just about everything as it has blossomed into a national power over the last two decades, but it will likely continue the search for its first national championship without Mariota. Barring a major surprise, the junior is likely to turn

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway is looking for a new coach after agreeing to part ways with John Fox following Denver’s latest playoff meltdown. Fox won the AFC West all four of his years in Denver, but each of those seasons ended in ugly fashion in the playoffs, culminating with Sunday’s 24-13 upset by Indianapolis. Fox might already have something in the works with another franchise — he didn’t shoot down a pregame report Sunday night that he could be available if the Broncos lost. Neither Fox nor Elway would say what was discussed Monday when they met other than it was time to split up. “It became clear that it was best for both the Denver Broncos and Coach Fox to move on and make this change,” Elway John Fox said in a statement. So, Fox is out after going 49-22 in Denver, including the playoffs, following a 78-74 record in nine years with the Carolina Panthers, counting the postseason. Fox gathered his players at noon Monday but didn’t talk about his own future. Chris Harris Jr. said Fox’s message was “just that he appreciated everybody’s efforts. He loved us and everybody just be smart in the offseason and make sure you take care of your body to be ready to come back ready to roll when OTAs start.” Two hours later, Elway met with Fox and told the assistant coaches they remain under contract but were free to pursue jobs with other teams. The players had left when the news broke, and several reacted bluntly on Twitter. “Cold World …,” wrote Demaryius Thomas. “Wow …,” said Omar Bolden. “Damn,” tweeted Terrance Knighton. The Broncos went 8-8 in Fox’s first year, when Tebowmania was in full pitch. The stakes were raised when Denver won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes and replaced Tim Tebow in 2012. Manning was murky about his future Sunday night, saying he had to process this latest loss before deciding whether to play an 18th NFL season. He wasn’t in the locker room Monday. Elway thanked Fox for helping “establish a positive, winning culture for this team” and said he “deserves a lot of credit for the Broncos’ turnaround,” but added “there is still work to be done” to win a Super Bowl. Fox characterized his meeting with Elway as produc-

St. Mike’s takes down SFHS a 2nd time By Will Webber The New Mexican

Way back in the post-Thanksgiving days of late November, it was easy for the rest of the world to turn a blind eye to the 0-2 St. Michael’s girls basketball team. Now into the second week of a new year, anyone caught napping on the Lady Horsemen is in for a rude awakening. For the second time this season, they took down intracity rival and reigning Class AAAA state champion Santa Fe High, this time with a dramatic 35-33 nondistrict victory on Monday night in Perez-Shelley Memorial Gymnasium. Ever since that winless start, the team everyone was so quick to give up on has taken 13 games in a row. “You know, this game will probably mean a lot down the road when we get closer to seeding for state, but right now we’re just enjoying it for what it is — and that’s a hard-fought

win against a really good team,” said St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero. Down 17-9 at one point in the first half, the Lady Horsemen (13-2) appeared to be falling into the same trap that so many of Santa Fe High’s opponents never recover from. With a solid inside game and steady play in the backcourt, the Demonettes tend to grind opponents down with relentless pressure on the glass by all five players. “I think we knew all that, but we had confidence from the first time we beat them,” said St. Michael’s senior Alex Gronewold, who finished with a teamhigh 13 points — eight of which came in the second half. She credited her low-post moves to offseason coaching by former St. Michael’s great Sarah Baca, now an administrator at the school. “We worked on that a lot, actually,” Groenewold said. “I’ve gotten really comfortable with it.”

ALBUQUERQUE — If you’re not all in with both feet, then maybe it’s time to look in the mirror. During The University of New Mexico basketball team’s recent weeklong road swing that took them through two of the toughest stops in the Mountain West Conference — Viejas Arena in San Diego and the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan, Utah — Lobos head coach Craig Neal said he learned a lot about who is willing to commit blindly to his program. As is typical for UNM, the team remained on the road between its Jan. 6 game at San Diego State and its Jan. 10 visit to Utah State. Some teams head home between games; the Lobos pack Craig Neal their bags for the long term. “The reason I like staying out is you find out what they’re really all about,” Neal said of his players. What he found out during the team’s three-day stay in Utah wasn’t necessarily good. The Lobos had a pair of workouts in the Utah Jazz practice facility before its game at Utah State. Before the game against the Aggies — a game the Lobos won to improve to 11-5 overall and 3-1 in the MWC — Neal said he placed a call to Florida head

Harden has 30, Rockets rout Nets after Howard-Garnett scuffle NEW YORK — James Harden scored 30 points, carrying Houston on a night when Dwight Howard did little after Rockets 113 fighting with Kevin Garnett, Nets 99 and the Rockets beat the slumping Brooklyn Nets 113-99 on Monday. Garnett was ejected in the first quarter after head-butting Howard in the face and throwing the ball at him, while Howard received a technical foul after appearing to punch or slap Garnett in the neck. Howard had a quiet night otherwise, finishing with eight points and five rebounds, but the Rockets didn’t need much in the middle while dominating from the outside with 16 3-pointers in 40 attempts. Mason Plumlee scored a careerhigh 24 points for the Nets, who lost their sixth straight. Houston has won four in a row, all by double digits, and blew away a Nets team that had held its previous eight opponents under h100 points, the longest streak in the NBA this season. The Nets played well offensively after struggling to score during their skid coming into the night. But they consistently lost Houston’s shooters on the perimeter, and the Rockets easily surpassed their NBA-best average of 11.8 3-pointers per game. They already had 17 points in the first 4 minutes before the HowardGarnett scuffle. Garnett was angry after he was called for a foul against Howard with 7:53 left in the first quarter, and the players lightly shoved each other. Garnett then threw the ball

MAGIC 121, BULLS 114 In Chicago, Nikola Vucevic had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Magic snapped a six-game losing streak. Orlando shot a season-high 59 percent from the field in its first win in Chicago since an 83-82 victory on Dec. 16, 2013. The Magic had lost three in a row and 12 of 15 against the Bulls since the start of the 2010-11 season. Victor Oladipo also scored 33 points for the Magic. Vucevic was 16 for 24 from the field in his NBA-best 23rd double-double of the season. Pau Gasol paced Chicago with 28 points and 14 rebounds, and Derrick Rose had 18 points and seven assists.

Fox: Coaches Del Rio, Gase interview with teams Continued from Page B-1 tive and honest and the two “mutually agreed that the timing was right for this decision.” “Although we came up short of our ultimate goal, I am proud of our team’s many accomplishments during these last four years,” Fox said in a statement. “It was an honor to coach the Denver Broncos, a first-class franchise with great fans and a winning tradition. “I am eager to continue my coaching career and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead,” Fox added. Fox became the only coach in NFL history to win a dozen consecutive divisional road games on his way to an unprecedented four straight AFC West titles in Denver. But the goal when Manning came on board was Super Bowl trophies. Instead, Manning is 2-3 in the playoffs with the Broncos. Elway brought Fox to Denver in the aftermath of the Josh McDaniels era, saying he was looking for someone who could breathe some positive vibes into a locker room that had been beaten down as McDaniels’ 6-0 start in 2009 turned sour and resulted in his firing midway through 2010. Fox’s first task was figuring out what to do with Tebow, and the coach’s flexibility showed, when he completely remade his offense for Tebow after sticking him in the starting lineup in Game 6 of the 2011 season. Denver won seven of the next 11 games and finished 8-8, which was good enough to win the middling AFC West. Tebow threw the winning touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in overtime in the wild card game against Pittsburgh, which set up an ugly — but understandable — 45-10 loss to New England in the divisional round. Then came Manning, along with the Super Bowl aspirations that accompanied the future Hall of Famer’s arrival. The Broncos finished the 2012 regular

season with 11 straight wins and were shocked when they lost 38-35 to Baltimore in double overtime at home in the divisional playoffs. Fox came under scrutiny after that one — too conservative — mostly for kneeling on the ball with 31 seconds left after the Ravens completed a long touchdown pass to tie the game. But in 2013, at Manning’s urging, the Broncos were anything but conservative — going to a hurry-up offense that helped Manning and the offense set passing and scoring records on their way to the Super Bowl. That beautiful season ended ugly, as Seattle clogged the passing lanes in a 43-8 victory — a result that compelled Elway to spend $60 million in guarantees on new defensive players, with the thinking that his quarterback shouldn’t have to win it all by himself. Those offseason changes mostly muted a debate about Fox’s ability to get his team ready for big games, but the coach came under more scrutiny midway through 2014 when the Broncos revamped their offense, and started focusing on the run more. Manning’s attempts and completions went way down following a 22-7 loss to St. Louis in which Denver ran only nine times in 64 snaps. The Broncos looked more like a Fox team in the true, grind-it-out sense, winning the division for the fourth straight time and hosting a divisional playoff game for the third year in a row. But for the second time in those three years, they were stunned at home. There are several teams looking for a new head coach. Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has a second interview set up with the Raiders, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase interviewed with the 49ers, Falcons, Bears and Bills, who hired Rex Ryan. He might also get a look from Elway now. AP national writer Eddie Pells contributed.

COWBOYS STADIUM

Jones: Big events will keep coming By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dog shows to championships, Jerry Jones believes the $1.2 billion showplace of the Dallas Cowboys will always be a destination for signature events. So the flamboyant team owner has no concern that Monday night’s national championship between Oregon and Ohio State means the calendar will be clear of the country’s biggest sporting events for the first time since the 2009 opening of his oversized stadium with the giant video board hanging over the field. “It’s just a daily given that our organization will go out and pursue major sporting events,” Jones said. He likens it to New York’s Madison Square Garden as a venue that will build a legacy for hosting big events. “Bottom line is this, that’s what that stadium does.” Here’s another bottom line: The Super Bowl and Final Four aren’t scheduled to

come back after one visit apiece in the venue’s first five-plus years. Jones, a former player at Arkansas, badly wanted the first championship in the new College Football Playoff and got it. Now he has to wait to see when any of the “big three” will be back, which is the biggest test for a vision that goes back a decade, long before the first shovel of dirt was turned in Arlington, a city of nearly 400,000 people halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth. “At the end of the day, after it was built, I was clear with everybody involved in our organization and that would listen, it’s just a tool, it’s just a tool,” Jones said. “It is not and cannot just be a monument and we have the opportunity because of the part of the country we’re in … we can avail ourselves of the kinds of visibility that we get. Big events beget interest in the stadium.” The Super Bowl after the 2010 season was plagued by an unusual ice storm that lasted most of the week before the game, and then a problem with the installation of

temporary seats displaced several hundred fans on game day. The Final Four was much smoother, but wasn’t without weather problems. Heavy rain doused the biggest concert event with Bruce Springsteen on the Sunday between the semifinals and the championship game. And there were threats of severe weather, always an issue in the spring on the southern tip of Tornado Alley. The NCAA recently announced Final Four sites through 2021, and the home of the Cowboys wasn’t among them. But that mostly had to do with North Texas being the most recent host of the event, said David Worlock, associate director of championships and alliances for the NCAA. “Everything else about their bid and about the recent hosting experience that we had with them was fantastic,” said Worlock, who said another round of announcements is probably a couple of years away. “There’s no reason to think we won’t be going back there again for tournament action in the future.”

1st: Ducks faced largest deficit of season Continued from Page B-1 pro — though he wouldn’t talk about his upcoming draft decision after the game. Elliott scored the game’s last three touchdowns, finishing off the rout with a 1-yarder with 28 seconds left. While Elliott slipped and darted through the Ducks, Jones pushed them around and shook them off. When Jones surged and spun his way into the end zone with

4:49 left in the second quarter it was 21-7 Ohio State and the “O! H! I! O!” chant made the dome in North Texas sound like the horseshoe in Columbus. The Ducks were facing their largest deficit of the season. If there was any concern that fans wouldn’t travel to the championship game in the new postseason system, the packed house at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, awash in Buckeyes’ scarlet and Ducks’ yellow, put that to rest. The crowd of

85,689 was as charged as any BCS national championship game. The Ducks’ fans awoke early in the third quarter. Ohio State was driving on the first possession of the second half toward more points when Jones’ pass bounced off Jalin Marshall’s chest and into the arms of Danny Mattingly for Ohio State’s third turnover. Unlike the first two Oregon takeaways, the Ducks turned this one into points in a hurry.

Mariota hit Byron Marshall on a slant and he streaked 70 yards for a touchdown, barely breaking the goal line before nonchalantly dropping the ball. Moments later, another Ohio State turnover. Jones looked a little bit like Florida State’s Jameis Winston in the Rose Bowl as the ball just slipped from his hands trying to throw under pressure. Oregon recovered in deep in Ohio State deep territory.

Thursday

St. Mike’s: Has now won 13 straight games Continued from Page B-1 An 8-2 run late in the second quarter by the Lady Horsemen cut Santa Fe High’s lead to 19-17 at halftime, then four quick points to open the third quarter put them in front. It went back and forth from there as neither team led by more than four points the rest of the way. Groenewold’s trademark low-post bucket gave her team a 32-31 lead with 3 minutes, 30 seconds left in the game, but the Demonettes (12-3) reclaimed the lead 90 seconds later when Briana Hernandez took a baseline entry pass under her own basket and dumped it in for an easy basket. By all accounts, the Lady Horsemen were content to burn some clock and work their way in for a good look. Perhaps that’s why even Romero was surprised when one of his guards took a pass near the far sideline and started a dribble drive along the baseline. A soft-spoken 5-foot-6 guard, Latysha Archuleta finished with just four points. Two of those came on that baseline drive as she penetrated the Santa Fe High defense and hit a running layup with 1:33 remaining. It proved to be the final field goal of the night — and the game-winner. Groenewold converted one of two free throw attempts with 15 seconds left, then she was part of a defensive scrum of white Lady Horsemen jerseys that re-directed

Kayla Herrera’s drive down the lane in the closing seconds. Herrera’s potential game-tying layup was off the mark, then a mad scramble for the loose ball ended with bodies on the floor as the buzzer sounded. Hernandez led the Demonettes with 10 points. Elena Gonzales had six while Herrera was held to just four. With his team’s streak now at a baker’s dozen, Romero said he has made it his mission not to talk about how many Ws his team has strung together. Aside from assistant coach Kevin Hauck, he said no one brings it up. “Yeah, but we all know about it,” Groenewold said. “Coach does to a good job not saying anything, but we all know.” Cristiana Gabaldon had eight points for the Lady Horsemen while Briona Vigil had five. Jocelyn Fernandez had two points, but her effort in the second half was nothing short of extraordinary after she fell facefirst to the floor as the buzzer sounded at the end of the second quarter. A large pool of blood formed beneath her and she remained on the floor for over a minute. Afterward, St. Michael’s trainer Tom Fagan said it’s likely that she suffered a broken nose. Undaunted, she played almost the entire second half. “All I know is that if she told me she was ready, I’d get her in there,” Romero said. “She said she could go and I didn’t think twice about it.”

ESPAÑOLA VALLEY 58, SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 43 You know what they say about paybacks? When it comes to a person holding a grudge, they are always that way. For the second time in as many chances this season, Cindy Roybal coached her new team to a double-digit win over her old one as the Lady Sundevils (13-2) blew open a close game at halftime by outscoring the visiting Lady Braves (9-5) 32-18 in the second half. Kaitlyn Romero led three Española players in double figures with 18 points. Alexis Lovato had 17 while Kayla Salazar chipped in with 11. There appeared to be a bit of tension between the coaching staffs after the final buzzer. Roybal said the SFIS players and coaches went straight to the locker room after the game, although she said the players did return for postgame handshakes. It’s all part of the gamesmanship that’s commonplace in what is becoming an entertaining rivalry between Roybal’s past and present programs. SFIS was led by Kayla Joe’s game-high 19 points, although Milan Schimmel was held to five. “You can tell who coached her — and you can quote me on that,” Roybal said in reference to Joe’s standout performance. Española led 26-25 at halftime, but in the locker room Roybal said it was the players who delivered the rah-rah speech instead of her and her assistants. “They said, ‘Coach, we’re not going to let you down,’ ” she said. “And, by golly, they didn’t.”

Lobos: Players must work for game time Continued from Page B-1 coach Billy Donovan to thank him for standing up for what’s right. In what has been a surprisingly tumultuous season in Gainesville, Donovan has dealt with disciplinary issues and shifting lineups as some high-profile players have struggled to fit in. He used the analogy of jumping in with two feet. Neal said it was a powerful message for a lot of college coaches. “For a guy to come out and say ‘We built a culture here, we do things the right way; if you don’t buy into it and don’t put both feet in — it’s not worth winning basketball games,’ ” Neal said. “It’s about doing things the right way all the time.” For Neal, that means placing fannies on the bench next to him instead of on the floor helping the team. If a player’s mindset is about oneself instead of the greater good, Neal said he doesn’t want him in the game. “I’m not going to sacrifice my program or the culture we’ve built here, in what Steve [Alford] started and what I was a part of,” Neal said. “So, if they’re not going to do it, they’re not going to play and they’re not going to be a part of the program. Guys that have done it here have been real successful.”

Bottom line, Neal said playing time is going to be the tell-tale sign of how things are internally. With 11 healthy players at his disposal since the conference schedule started, he said the days of getting everyone considerable time may be over. It all comes down to effort and attitude and Neal said Monday that he refuses to “sell my soul” for a win or two if it means dealing with players with bloated egos and bad attitudes. In Utah, he didn’t see a lot of effort from a few players during practices at the Jazz facility. That certainly filtered down into the lack of depth during the game as four players failed to get double-digit minutes. It may rear its head again in Wednesday’s home game against Air Force in The Pit. Then again, this is nothing new to UNM. Neal said the team dealt with this very issue last season, although those issues were kept hidden from the public domain. “We just didn’t talk about it,” Neal said. “I’m not going to put up with it and that message has been sent. I’ve done it internally, I’ve done with the team and if I have to do it publicly — I just basically said how I feel and it gets me in trouble. I’m honest about how I feel. I’m not going to have guys on my bench that have bad body language and are not going to cheer a team-

mate. Not when there’s 10 other guys that are and two not. Not going to happen.” Ultimately, the coach said it’s up to the players to police themselves. With this season’s team that’s proving to be a bit of a problem since it has just two seniors; one of whom joined the program last year as a junior college recruit. That lack of senior statesmen makes the learning curve different for this group of players than others in Neal’s tenure as a UNM assistant and now head coach. “We had the issue last year and our captains addressed it,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s their team.” NOTES u Neal said the starting lineup against Air Force will remain the same as recent outings with seniors Hugh Greenwood and Deshawn Delaney joining freshman Sam Logwood in the backcourt and sophomores Devon Williams (forward) and Obij Aget (center) in the low post. u The MWC has suspended Air Force guard Matt Mooney for one game for his involvement in an on-court shoving match last weekend against Colorado State. CSU forward J.J. Avila was also suspended one game. Mooney earned an ejection for fighting, drawing an automatic one-game ban by the NCAA. The 6-foot-3 freshman is averaging 7.0 points per game.

In brief Reed rallies to win Kapalua in a playoff KAPALUA, Hawaii — Patrick Reed holed an 80-yard shot for eagle and made two birdies over his last four holes Monday.

The last birdie was on the 18th hole in a playoff to beat Jimmy Walker in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Reed was four shots behind with four holes to play when he put together his big rally and closed with a 6-under 67. For the second straight day, Walker didn’t make birdie after the 10th hole. He had a chance to win in regulation but missed his birdie putt from 18 feet and shot 69.

Its current status as SWMU 76, subject to corrective action, is tracked under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous Waste Facility Operating Permit (Permit, NM5890110518) issued to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and Sandia Corporation (a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin). Approving corrective action complete status for a SWMU (such as the MWL) must be accomplished by means of a Class 3 modification of the Permittee’s RCRA permit. Class 3 permit modifications are considered to substantially alter a facility or its operation. The DOE is the owner of the MWL and the Facility. Sandia Corporation is the operator of the MWL and the Facility. Collectively, the DOE and Sandia Corporation are the Permittees. Sandia Corporation is located at 1515 Eubank Boulevard SE, Albuquerque, NM 87123. The Sandia Site Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is located at KAFB-East at the intersection of Pennsylvania and H Streets, P.O. Box 5400, Albuquerque, NM 87185. The Permittee’s primary contact for this action is: Mr. John Weckerle, DOE/NNSA, P.O. Box 5400, MS 0184, Albuquerque, NM 87185. The MWL is being proposed for CAC status in response to a Class 3 permit modification request from the Permittees submitted to the Department on October 17, 2014. The permit modification must follow the administrative procedures at 20.4.1.900 NMAC, incorporating 40 CFR 270.42(c), 40 CFR Part 124, and 20.4.1.901 NMAC, including the procedures for public comment and opportunity to request a public hearing. The MWL is currently listed on the SNL RCRA Permit as a SWMUs requiring corrective action. If approved for CAC with controls, the listing for the MWL will be changed in the Permit from requiring corrective action to CAC with controls and the Permit will be updated to indicate that the controls to be implemented are found in the MWL Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance Plan (LTMMP) approved by NMED January 8,

SNL is located within the boundaries of Kirtland Air Force Base, south of and adjacent to Albuquerque in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. SNL is a multipurpose engineering and science laboratory which designs components for the nation’s nuclear weapons, designs and tests conventional military weapons, performs a wide variety of energy research and development projects, and works on assignments that respond to national security threats. As a result of its testing and research activities, SNL generates solid, hazardous, radioactive, and mixed hazardous and radioactive wastes. The MWL was opened as the "TA-3 low-level radioactive waste dump" in March 1959. Lowlevel radioactive waste and mixed radioactive and chemical waste from SNL research facilities and off-site generators were disposed of in the landfill from March 1959 to December 1988.

had been around boats since he was a child growing up on Boston’s North Shore. His boat was on autopilot when he fell off it while fishing alone nine miles from shore. He swam to Palm Beach, covering a distance of 27 miles before ringing the doorbell of an oceanfront home for help.

El DOE es el propietario del MWL y de las Instalaciones. La Corporación Sandia está a cargo del funcionamiento del MWL y de las Instalaciones. Colectivamente, el DOE y la Corporación Sandia son los Permisionarios. La Corporación Sandia está ubicada en 1515 Eubank Boulevard SE, Albuquerque, NM 87123. La Oficina Local de Sandia del Departamento de Energía (DOE) de los Estados Unidos está ubicada en la base aérea KAFB-Este, en el cruce de la calle Pennsylvania y la calle H, P.O. Box 5400, Albuquerque, NM 87185. La principal información de contacto con el Permisionario para esta acción es: Mr. John Weckerle, DOE/NNSA, P.O. Box 5400, MS 0184, Albuquerque, NM 87185. Se propone el estado de CAC para el MWL como respuesta a la solicitud de modificación Clase 3 del permiso presentada por los Permisionarios ante el Departamento el 17 de octubre de 2014. La modificación del premiso debe cumplir con los procedimientos administrativos establecidos en 20.4.1.900 NMAC, incorporando 40 CFR 270.42(c), 40 CFR Parte 124, y 20.4.1.901 NMAC, incluso con los procedimientos para la presentación de comentarios del público y la oportunidad de solicitar una audiencia pública. El MWL está a c t u a l m e n t e clasificado en el Permiso RCRA de SNL como una SWMU que requiere acción correctiva. De aprobarse el estado de CAC con controles, la clasificación del MWL en el Permiso cambiará del estado de requerir acción correctiva al estado de CAC con controles y se actualizará el Permiso para indicar que los controles que deben implementarse se encuentran en el Plan de Monitoreo y Mantenimiento a Largo Plazo (LTMMP) del MWL aprobado por el NMED el 8 de enero de 2014. De no aprobarse el estado de CAC para el MWL, el MWL seguirá en el Permiso con requerimiento de acción correctiva. SNL está ubicado dentro de los límites de la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Kirtland, adyacente por el lado sur a Albuquerque en el condado de Bernalillo, Nuevo México. SNL es un l a b o r a t o r i o multipropósito de ingeniería y ciencia que diseña para la nación componentes de armas nucleares, diseña y prueba armas militares convencionales, realiza una amplia variedad de proyectos de investigación y d e s a r r o l l o relacionados con energía, y trabaja en proyectos asignados para responder a amenazas contra la seguridad nacional. Como resultado de sus actividades de prueba e investigación, SNL genera residuos sólidos, peligrosos, radioactivos y mezclas de residuos peligrosos y radioactivos. El MWL inició sus operaciones como "vertedero de residuos radioactivos TA-3 de bajo nivel radioactivo" en marzo de 1959. Desde marzo de 1959 hasta diciembre 1988 se depositaron en el relleno sanitario residuos radioactivos de bajo nivel y mezclas de residuos radioactivos y q u í m i c o s provenientes de instalaciones de investigación de SNL y de generadores externos.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Man prefers to leave relationship Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have been together for 12 years. We recently had a disagreement, and he walked away. I emailed him and he said he has feelings for me and always will, but he can’t make me happy. He said I need someone who is as romantic and financially secure as I am. He has no pension, no savings and a business that is barely surviving. He also told me that his health problems are why we haven’t had sex in four years. I am his fifth relationship that hasn’t worked out. He used to phone me every night and I miss that. After previous disagreements, he always came back. He said he doesn’t want to be in a relationship now and needs to look after his business. He claims to be a workaholic. Should I contact him again? — J. Dear J.: How much do you want to suffer? There are reasons this man is incapable of being in a permanent relationship. If he wants that to change, he would likely need counseling to understand his motivations better. But you cannot make that happen. You can only decide what is best for you. Unless this man gets help and makes major changes to his life, he cannot give you any type of commitment, nor does he want to. He prefers to leave the relationship. We think you should let him. Dear Annie: When our relatives come for a visit, as they do every winter without fail, why do they expect to be treated to free accommodations and free meals, which we provide year after year, while they never offer a coffeecake or pizza or, better yet, to prepare one of the many meals expected during their visit? An offer to treat us to a meal at a restaurant, even breakfast, would be welcomed. From my perspective, these “guests” freely take our time, our generosity and our kindness at a most stressful time of year, and their only form of appreciation is the blanket invitation to “come on down” offered at their departure.

Why don’t they mention possible dates for a future visit to make the invitation seem genuine? These guests do not suggest or pay for activities while visiting us. They think that since they paid to travel to us, we should be willing to cover all expenses while they are here. And since it is their vacation, they treat us as their employees. We love our family members. We are happy to see them at every opportunity. But we feel taken advantage of, especially when they notify us of the dates for their next visit. — Planning Now Dear Planning: You are being too accommodating, and they are clueless. You need to set some ground rules. This is family. They visit every year. It’s OK to tell them what you expect. Ask them to pitch in for groceries and to help in the kitchen. Once they understand that even guests have obligations, these visits will run more smoothly for everyone. Dear Annie: This is in regards to “Outvoted,” who is debating with her siblings about replacing the batteries in Mom’s pacemaker. My family had the same problem. Dad was 92. My sister and I wanted to let him go peacefully, but my mom and brother wanted the batteries changed. We are now living a nightmare. Dad has fullblown dementia. My sister and I are the caregivers. Dad is ornery and hits on every woman he sees. I change his soiled diapers and give him showers. If he were in his right mind, he would be horrified. Had Dad died two years ago, I would have wonderful memories. Now I am beginning to hate him. — Let Her Die with Dignity Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be in a position where you would prefer to let someone else make the call, as he or she tends to be more knowledgeable. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be more comfortable observing instead of acting in the morning. By the afternoon, you’ll feel as if you want to take the lead. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Listen to news, and be ready to move forward. You can respond to someone’s request by offering to help him or her make a hard decision. Tonight: Early to bed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be taken aback by a boss or older relative’s wishy-washy stance. You might be at your wits’ end with a difficult roommate. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Unpredictability marks what you do and why you do it. Someone close to you could make demands that will send you into a tizzy. Tonight: Let it all hang out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You will come to an understanding far more quickly if you detach and remain a little less invested in the outcome. Use caution with your funds. Tonight: Feed your mind. Jacqueline Bigar
