He has said that he spent a total of about 13 years in solitary confinement and was abused and tortured in retaliation for his work on the Duran Decree and for acting as a jailhouse lawyer. “It was solely because of my involvement in constitutionally

Chavez filed a lawsuit against the state Department of Corrections and several of the agency’s employees in 2007, while he was still incarcerated, alleging civil rights violations. The case has been moving slowly through the court system since then. After his release in January 2014, he began

Program would pay for community college costs By Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Tamar Lewin

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Thursday that he would propose a program to pay the tuition of many community college students, an ambitious plan that would expand educational opportunities for millions of Americans. The initiative, which the president plans to officially announce Friday at a Tennessee community college, aims to address growing income inequality by transforming publicly financed higher education. The plan would be funded by the federal government and participating states, but White House officials declined to discuss how much it would cost or how it would be financed. It is bound to be expensive and likely a tough sell to a Republican Congress not eager spend money, especially on a proposal from the White House. “With no details or information on the cost, this seems more like a talking point than a plan,” said Cory Fritz, a spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio. Obama’s advisers acknowledged Thursday that the program’s goals would not be achieved quickly. The president, however, was more upbeat. “It’s something that we can accomplish, and it’s something that will train our workforce so that we can compete with anybody in the world,” Obama said in a video posted Thursday night by the White House. The proposal would cover half-time and full-time students who maintain

here wasn’t much fanfare late last October when volunteers finished rerouting a portion of the Dale Ball Trail off Upper Canyon Road. Only a dozen or so people were on hand to celebrate the completion of the four-day project. But many hikers and bikers setting off for Picacho Peak and beyond are benefiting from the improvements. Now, instead of the steep climb up a badly eroded power easement, they can easily hop onto a gently graded trail through the trees that crosses the historic Acequia del Llano — an active irrigation ditch — and meets up with the existing Dale Ball Trail after about a quarter-mile. The project was initiated by Bob Findling, director of land protection and stewardship of The Nature Conservancy, who supplied about 12 cubic yards of rock for the job. The trail, on conservancy land, was built by volunteers from the Santa Fe Conservation

PARIS — The man who allegedly orchestrated France’s deadliest terrorist attack in half a century was introduced to radical Islam by a charismatic janitor who led a band of social misfits and petty criminals through military-style training exercises in a Paris park. At the time, Cherif Kouachi was a pot-smoking pizza delivery man, drifting through life with only the vaguest of attachments to religion. But his indoctrination more than a decade ago would prove fateful. It fired a zeal for violence that was apparently never extinguished despite an aborted trip to Iraq to battle U.S. forces, a three-year prison term and a long stretch when Kouachi convinced those around him — and perhaps French law enforcement — that he had given up his dream of martyrdom.

N.M. ranked 49th in national education report Nevada, Mississippi only states to score lower By Robert Nott The New Mexican

New Mexico ranks near the bottom in yet another national report on educational achievement. Education Week’s Quality Counts released its annual state report card Thursday, and New Mexico earned a D. The state ranked 49th in the nation, ahead of Nevada and Missis-

sippi. The report includes the District of Columbia. This is Education Week’s 19th Quality Counts report card on states’ educational standings. In the past few years, New Mexico has moved up and down between an F in 2010 — the year before Gov. Susana Martinez took office — to a C in 2011, 2012 and 2013, and a D-plus last year. One reason the state dropped to a D in 2015 might be because the report eliminated one measure used in previous years: policies that improve student achievement.

NATION&WORLD In brief Saudi blogger to be flogged DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A Saudi blogger who was sentenced last May to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes will be publicly flogged for the first time after Friday prayers outside a mosque in the Red Sea coastal city of Jiddah, a person close to his case said Thursday. Raif Baddawi was sentenced on charges related to accusations that he insulted Islam on a liberal online forum he had created. He was also ordered by the Jiddah Criminal Court to pay a fine of 1 million Saudi riyals, or about $266,000. Badawi has been held since mid2012, and his Free Saudi Liberals website is now closed. The case has drawn condemnation from rights groups. London-based rights group Amnesty International has said that Badawi is to receive 50 lashes once a week for 20 weeks.

N. Korea advances sub technology North Korea has displayed its cyberattack capabilities and advances toward making nuclear warheads, the country’s adversaries say. Now, the North appears to have shown progress in fitting submarines with missile launchers. A report posted Thursday on the website of 38north, a prominent research group that focuses on North Korea, said commercial satellite imagery of a North Korean submarine, taken less than a month ago, indicates the vessel may have one or two vertical launching tubes for either ballistic or cruise missiles. The submarine, first seen last July, could be an experimental test bed for underwater missile launching, which would be harder to detect than land-based launchers, the report said.

CHICAGO — Unable to shake its reputation as “the Ebola store,” an Ohio bridal shop visited by a woman who later tested positive for the virus will close this year, the store’s manager said Thursday. Business has been slow at Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal in Akron since Amber Joy Vinson, a nurse from Dallas who had treated an Ebola patient from Liberia named Thomas Eric Duncan, shopped there in October, days before she was told she had Ebola, said Kayla Litz, the store’s manager. Rather than invest more money and hope that customers would overcome their fears, Litz said the longtime owner had decided to sell the remaining gowns and tuxedos.

Sales in holiday season rose NEW YORK — A rebounding economy and big discounts fueled Americans to spend more briskly in stores than expected during the winter holiday shopping season. Sales at 1,000 retail chains nationwide rose 4.6 percent to $270.1 billion in November and December, ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based technology company, said Thursday. The results beat ShopperTrak’s forecast for a 3.8 percent increase and mark the strongest growth since 2005 when sales rose 5.2 percent.

NEW YORK — New York City will move to the forefront of a growing environmental trend by banning food establishments from using plastic foam containers starting this summer, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration announced Thursday. De Blasio’s mayoral ban will fulfill an initiative begun by his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg. New York will now be the largest city in the country — following San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Ore. — to prohibit the foam containers. Administration officials believe that the ban will remove nearly 30,000 tons of expanded polystyrene from the city’s streets, waterways and landfills. The ban will go into effect July 1.

Boxer helped launch new era for women Tenacious California liberal to retire after 4 terms in Senate By Kevin Freking

WASHINGTON alifornia Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, a tenacious liberal whose election to the Senate in 1992 heralded a new era for women at the upper reaches of political power, announced Thursday she will not seek re-election to a new term next year. Boxer’s retirement sets off a freefor-all among a new generation of California Democrats, who have had few offices to aspire to while Boxer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein had a lock on the state’s U.S. Senate seats. A staunch supporter of abortion rights, gun control and environmental protections, Boxer has said she is most proud of the vote that she cast against the war in Iraq. The 74-year-old Boxer made the announcement in a mock video news conference with her grandson, Zach Rodham, acting as reporter. “I am never going to retire. The work is too important. But I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” Boxer said. “I want to help our Democratic candidate for president make history,” Boxer tells her grandson, a reference to a possible bid by Hillary Rodham Clinton. She closed with a poem, “I won’t be working in my Senate space and I won’t be running in that next tough race.” Boxer was elected to the House in 1982 and to the Senate one decade later. That was an election that marked a watershed year for women in politics, with four winning U.S. Senate seats. Boxer prominently displays in her office a photograph of her and six other female House members marching up the Senate steps to demand hearings on Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment against

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas before holding his confirmation vote. Boxer’s departure is a generational change as well. Feinstein is 81, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is 74. “She is never one to shy away from any challenge,” Feinstein said. Pelosi described Boxer, who stands 4 feet, 11 inches tall, as “small in size but a giant in terms of contributions to her country.” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama called Boxer to congratulate her. From her home in Rancho Mirage, Calif., she said, she was confident she could still accomplish much in her final two years. Boxer had a way of riling conservatives. In 2009, she requested that a brigadier general in the Army Corps of Engineers call her senator instead of ma’am. The confrontation served as fundraising fodder for her opponents the following election, but she still won handily. And during the height of the Iraq War, she told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that her “loyalty to the mission you were given, to sell this war, overwhelmed your respect for the truth.” In campaign ads, Boxer hammered home her feistiness and described herself as a fighter, a play on her name. Boxer would have been a prohibitive favorite to win re-election in a state where only 28 percent of the registered voters are Republicans. Among the Democratic candidates speculated to try to succeed her: Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a former San Francisco mayor; state Attorney General Kamala Harris; former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; and Tom Steyer, a retired San Francisco hedge fund billionaire. Republicans view the retirement as positive for the 2016 elections in part because it could mean that Democrats will have to spend money to retain the seat, which they probably would not have done if Boxer were in the race.

WASHINGTON — In June, when oil cost $107 a barrel, U.S. employers added a healthy number of jobs — 267,000. Now, with oil below $50, hopes are rising that hiring in the United States is poised to intensify. Goldman Sachs forecasts that if oil stays near its current price, the economy will add 300,000 more jobs this year than if the price had remained at its June level. Stronger job growth is foreseen at retailers, auto dealers, shipping firms, restaurants and hotels — all of which will likely show gains in Friday’s jobs report for December. “These lower oil costs are a tax cut for everybody — except the energy producers,” said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. “It gives us an acceleration in employment.” Not everyone will benefit. U.S. oil and gas drillers risk layoffs if energy prices don’t recover. Industry suppliers such as U.S. Steel blamed the falling prices in announcing plans this week to lay off 756 workers who make tubing for the oil sector. So what job sectors stand to benefit? Autos: Sales of new cars are forecast to exceed 17 million this year, a level not reached since 2005, according to auto analysts. The Energy Department says lower gasoline prices will save U.S. households $550 this year — roughly equivalent to four months of lease payments on a 2014 Honda Civic. Shipping: Many trucking firms are plowing the savings from lower fuel costs back into their businesses. That helps the 4.7 million workers in the transportation and warehousing industries. Restaurants: Falling gas prices have been a boon for restaurants. Restaurant sales rose 4.4 percent from June, when gas prices peaked, to November, according to government data. This suggests that hiring is poised to pick up because jobs at restaurants have risen just 1.3 percent over the same period. Housing: At 3.73 percent, this week’s average 30-year mortgage rate is down drastically from its 4.51 percent level a year ago. That gap translates into nearly $75 less a month in payments on a roughly average $165,000 mortgage — a savings of almost $900 a year. Energy: This industry is the primary loser from falling fuel costs. Oil and gas drilling has been a source of job growth for five years, though it still constitutes a small percentage of the total. Bob Baur, chief global economist for Principal Global Investors, calculates that drilling has accounted for an average of 3,600 added jobs a month since 2010, out of a total average of 191,000 added each month.

WASHINGTON — In command and ready for a fight, defiant Republicans ignored two White House veto threats and advanced bills in Congress Thursday curbing President Barack Obama’s cherished health care overhaul and forcing construction on a proposed oil pipeline. The top House Democrat predicted her party would uphold both vetoes. On the new Congress’ third day of work, a Senate committee approved a measure dismantling Obama’s ability to block the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which has become a flashpoint pitting the GOP’s jobs agenda against Democrats’ environmental concerns. The Senate planned to begin debate next week and passage there seemed likely, while the House was poised to approve its version Friday. Meanwhile, the House approved legislation narrowing the definition of full-time workers who must be offered employerprovided health care from those working 30 hours weekly to a 40-hour minimum. The vote was a mostly party-line 252-172 — short of the 290 needed, assuming all members voted, for the two-thirds majority required to override a veto. On both bills, GOP leaders would face uphill fights mustering the two-thirds House and Senate majorities needed to override vetoes. But both measures had some support from Democrats, and Republicans could use them to portray themselves as championing bipartisan legislation, only to be thwarted by Obama and his Democratic allies. “Given the chance to start with a burst of bipartisan productivity, the president turned his back on the American people’s priorities,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters Thursday, adding, “We were taking our oath of office when they were issuing veto threats. Come on.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats would sustain Obama’s vetoes on both bills and said it was Republicans who have blocked progress. Obama’s 2010 health care law, a perennial GOP target, is phasing in a requirement

that companies with more than 50 full-time workers offer health care coverage or face penalty payments to the government. Backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, Republicans say defining full-time employees as those working at least 30 hours is pressuring firms to save money by cutting workers’ hours and diminishing the number of fulltime jobs. House Republicans say boosting the standard to 40 hours would protect those workers and named their bill the “Save American Workers Act.” They cite a study by the conservative Hoover Institution saying that 2.6 million workers are at risk of having their hours reduced by the 30-hour minimum, including disproportionately high numbers of female, low-income, younger and less-educated workers. The White House and Democrats, with support from labor and liberal groups, mock the measure as the latest attempt by Republicans to scuttle Obama’s health care law. The House has voted more than 50 times to repeal or roll back parts of that law since Republicans took control of the chamber in 2011. Democrats say changing the fulltime threshold from 30 to 40 hours would make fewer workers eligible for employerprovided health coverage and put more of them at risk of losing that coverage from companies looking to cut costs.

Twelve Democrats joined all 240 voting Republicans in voting for the bill. The measure’s fate is less clear in the Senate, where majority Republicans will need at least six Democratic votes to get the 60 needed to overcome Democratic delaying tactics. Senate GOP leaders have not said when the bill will be debated. At the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, lawmakers voted 13-9 Thursday to approve the Keystone pipeline. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia was the only Democrat backing the measure, which would clear the way for a $5.4 billion project to carry oil produced from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. Republicans call the pipeline a job creator, but Democrats say it would worsen the threat of global warming. In another clash, Republicans planned a House vote next week on blocking Obama’s changes in immigration policy that will shield many immigrants from deportation who are in the country illegally. Republicans want to use funding legislation required by late February for the Department of Homeland Security as leverage in that struggle. In one burst of bipartisan cooperation, Congress approved legislation Thursday renewing the federal program that props up the private market for insurance against terrorist attacks. The Senate approved the bill 93-4, a day after easy House passage of the legislation.

U.S. considering using Internet, smartphones for 2020 census WASHINGTON — The days of the census taker with clipboard in hand may be numbered. The Census Bureau plans to test digital tools in preparation for the 2020 census, a change that could save millions of dollars. People may be asked to fill out their census forms on the Internet instead of sending them through the mail. Census takers may use smartphones instead of paper to complete their counts. The once-a-decade count is used to draw congressional maps and helps determine how the government spends $400 billion on infrastructure, programs and services each year. The majority of the money the bureau spends during a census goes to getting every-

one to fill out their forms, Census Director John H. Thompson said. In the Savannah, Ga., area and in Maricopa County, Ariz., census workers this year will be asking people to respond on the Internet instead of filling out the traditional forms. During follow-up visits for those who don’t answer, census workers will forgo using paper and instead input answers directly into their smartphones for instantaneous collection and analysis. For government officials, going digital means they can do real-time analysis on areas to figure out which households have not responded, and be able to use their workers on the ground more efficiently, Thompson said.

Plot: Says solitary was retaliation Continued from Page A-1 filing motions leveling specific accusations of prisoner abuse, torture, bribery, witness tampering and attempted murder. In November, Chavez filed a motion asking a District Court judge to allow him to search in and around the old state pen for proof of his claim that the state had experimented on and tortured prisoners, and even sold their organs and blood. That motion was denied. His most recent motion, filed in December, includes a statement from an inmate who swears that prison officials had tried at least twice to put a “hit” on Chavez, first in 1995 and again in 1997. In the affidavit, Anthony Ray Baca describes a deputy warden’s alleged attempts to persuade him to murder Chavez in exchange for heroin. Chavez first approached the state District Court for help in 2004, after he had spent seven years in solitary confinement. He petitioned the court for his release from segregation, and District Judge Michael Vigil, after reviewing his case, ordered state Corrections Department officials to stop holding him in the solitary cell. In his order, Vigil wrote that not a single Corrections official had offered testimony explaining why Chavez was being held in segregation. After examining possible motivations for the department to hold Chavez in solitary confinement for such a long period, Vigil said evidence pointed to “the discomfort that the DOC had with jailhouse lawyers. This is the only motivation that the Court can find for continuing to keep Chavez in such a restrictive custody status.” “They were furious that I served as a Duran Decree representative,” Chavez said of the prison officials. “We were able to make many monumental changes in the system because of that, and it was largely due to my efforts. … The Department of Corrections is intent on operating with total impunity. They despise anyone that will not allow them to act with total impunity and unbridled, wanton, excessive abuse. To this day, they are still doing this to prisoners.” In his December motion, Chavez requests a temporary restraining order that seeks to bar Corrections from transferring inmates out of state to prevent them from testifying in his case. Baca, a self-described “validated member” and “shot caller” of a prison gang known as Sindicato De Nuevo México who is serving a life sentence for murdering another inmate, alleges in his affidavit that former Deputy Warden Elmer Bustos first approached him in 1995 about a plot to kill Chavez. Baca says in the affidavit that Bustos asked him if he knew Chavez, and then referred to Baca’s attempted strangulation of another inmate and suggested that “maybe the same thing can happen to inmate Chavez.” “He further stated, ‘You do things for us and we do things for you,’ ” Baca says in the affidavit. He says he told Bustos that he needed to “consult with my people” before making a decision. In 1997, Baca says, then Corrections employee Robert Ulibarri told him that “Chavez needs to step back from his role as Duran Representative because he’s making things very difficult for the Corrections Department.” Ulibarri ordered Baca to do “whatever it takes,” saying, “We want him hit,” Baca writes in his affidavit. Baca told Ulibarri that this would “cost Bustos … at least an ounce of heroin for the deal … at least five grams up front before anything happens.” A few months later, Baca alleges, Ulibarri told him Bustos wanted “the thing with Sam Chavez to be taken care of as soon as possible.” Baca told Ulibarri that nothing would happen “until we get something first.” A month or two after that, Baca alleges, he was placed in solitary confinement and was then transferred out of state. Corrections Department spokeswoman Alex Tomlin denied Chavez’s claims and said most of his claims involve alleged abuses that occurred years ago under a different administration. Bustos — who retired from Corrections in 2006 and is named as a defendant in Chavez’s lawsuit — called Chavez’s allegations “ridiculous” and “crazy.” But Bustos said Chavez is intelligent enough to make his arguments sound believable to a layperson. Attorney Mark Donatelli — who is not involved in this case but who worked with Chavez during the implementation of the Duran Decree — recently said he has always found Chavez to be “reliable and credible.” Someone who answered the phone at the Keleher & McLeod law firm — which is defending the state in the case and several Corrections Department employees and former employees, including Bustos and Ulibarri — said the firm would not comment on the case or provide contact information for Ulibarri, who no longer works for Corrections. Chavez, who now lives in Las Cruces and is writing a book about his prison experience, said more affidavits will be made public during the course of his case to support his claims. “One of my objectives with my complaint is to make the public aware of what is going on in there,” Chavez said. “Taxpayers don’t have the faintest idea how these people operate.” Contact Phaedra Haywood at 986-3068 or phaywood@sfnewmexican.com.

Tuition: Could cover costs for 9 million students Continued from Page A-1 a 2.5 grade-point average — about a C-plus — and who “make steady progress toward completing a program,” White House officials said. It would apply only to schools that offered credit toward a four-year degree or occupational-training programs that award degrees in highdemand fields. The federal government would cover three-quarters of the average cost of community college for those students, and states that choose to participate would cover the remainder. If all states participate, the administration estimates the program could cover as many as 9 million students, saving them an average of $3,800 a year. Obama will include the program, which would need congressional approval, in his budget for the coming year, his advisers said, and detail it in his State of the Union address Jan. 20. The plan is modeled after Tennessee’s free community college program, called the Tennessee Promise, which will be available to students graduating high school this year. It has drawn 58,000 applicants, almost 90 percent of the state’s high school seniors, and more than twice as many as expected. The program has gone a long way toward making community college an attainable reality for all students. In addition, the proportion of appli-

cants who are African American and Hispanic is higher than their proportion currently enrolled in Tennessee colleges. It is backed by the state’s Republican governor, Bill Haslam, and is largely financed from lottery funds. Still, Tennessee Promise has been criticized by some who say it is structured to benefit middle-income students more than the neediest. It is designed as a “last dollar” scholarship, paying only for tuition

costs not covered by other programs. A low-income student who is eligible for a maximum Pell Grant of $5,730 would not get assistance under the Tennessee program, because that amount would already cover tuition. A more affluent student, however, could get full tuition paid by the program. Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., said she was skeptical of Obama’s initiative, calling it “a top-down federal program that will ask already cash-strapped

states to help pick up the tab.” Chicago, too, has a new free community college initiative starting with this year. The program initiated by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat, will give Chicago Public School students who graduate with at least a 3.0 GPA waivers to cover tuition, books and fees at the city’s seven community colleges. White House officials acknowledged in a conference call with reporters that the program was unlikely to win quick approval in Congress. Still, they said, in proposing it, Obama was seeking to press states and community colleges to beef up their investments in highquality education in ways that would have a lasting effect even before federal legislation was enacted. “We don’t expect the country to be transformed overnight, but we do expect this conversation to begin tomorrow,” said Cecilia Muñoz, the president’s domestic policy chief. About 7.7 million Americans attend community college for credit, of whom 3.1 million, or 40 percent, attend full time, according to the American Association of Community Colleges, relying on 2012 data. Overall, the federal government provides about $9.1 billion to community colleges, or about 16 percent of the total revenue the colleges receive. Tuition from students provides $16.7 billion a year, or nearly 30 percent of revenue.

Betty Block of Santa Fe hikes Thursday on the new section of the Dale Ball Trail System that goes from Upper Canyon Road toward Picacho Peak. The Nature Conservancy and other groups are proposing another new trail segment in the same area, north of the parking lot on Cerro Gordo Road. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Trail: Power Up grant will help pay for extension Continued from Page A-1 Trust, the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society, a mountain biking group. The total cost of the project was about $500 for the rocks. Tim Rogers, trails program manager for the Santa Fe Conservation Trust and a crew leader, posted photos and reported on the workdays at www.sfct.org/trails. Many of the volunteers have received special training in trail building from the International Mountain Bicycling Association, the Forest Service and other organizations, said Margaret Alexander, one of the volunteers from the Trails Alliance. It’s hard work, but “we don’t strain ourselves. We try to have a nice time,” she said. And “once in a while, a big, young, strong guy comes to haul some rocks.” Alexander said they changed the route several times in an effort to get it just right. Because the soil in many places was soft, due to the acequia, they needed rock of various sizes to build it. “Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about successful and unsuccessful trail building,” Alexander said. “We try to make the trails as aesthetically

pleasing as we can.” They also try to build in gentle curves and make the trails sustainable, she added. The Nature Conservancy is among the groups proposing another new trail segment in the same area that would make it safer for those hiking or biking the Dale Ball Trails to the north of the parking lot on Cerro Gordo Road. The new trail would be on city-owned land acquired from Public Service Company of New Mexico as part of the 1995 purchase of the Sangre de Cristo Water Co. Some trespassers already have created a volunteer trail from the Cerro Gordo parking lot. The path passes by an underground pump vault and a weather monitoring station and between an old sand filtration plant, which the city plans to demolish, and Two Mile Pond, the remains of a reservoir breached in 1994. The plan under discussion would route the trail down the hill closer to the road and over a new pedestrian bridge across the river, and continue the trail on the other side of the sand filtration plant and up the hill to the existing Dale Ball Trail. Findling estimated the cost of the trail, signage

and bridge at about $15,000 and said he has a Power Up grant from PNM to pay for it. The grant doesn’t include the cost of tearing down the plant, originally estimated at about $50,000. The price is likely to be higher because of pipes and valves underneath the building. The plant hasn’t been used for sand filtration since the 1970s and is an eyesore. All the windows are broken, and the structure is covered with graffiti. The city also wants to build a fence around the pump vault and other infrastructure. City Councilor Joseph Maestas has been working with the city and neighbors on the plan for improving the area, which might include an upgrade to the well-used parking lot to make it easier to get in and out. The parking lot is a hiking hub, providing access to two parts of the Dale Ball Trails as well as The Nature Conservancy’s Canyon Preserve and a 1.2-mile loop trail, where there are regular reports of bear, deer and bobcats. “I care deeply about that area,” Maestas said. “It’s one of the jewels of Santa Fe.” Contact Anne Constable at 986-3022 or aconstable@sfnewmexican.com.

Education: Doesn’t fully reflect graduation gains Continued from Page A-1 national average is 34 percent. Martinez has tried and failed to get the Legislature to back her plan to retain third-graders who cannot read, arguing that such a policy would increase their chances to graduate and succeed in the long run. She aims to pursue that plan again during the upcoming 60-day legislative session, and as of Thurs-

day at least one bill — Senate Bill 66, introduced by Sen. Gay Kernan, R-Hobbs — has already been prefiled to support that initiative. The Quality Counts report does not look into specific policies that may have made an impact, Lloyd said, so it is not possible to link retention policies to academic success. Most of the report is based on data through 2012, but graduation rates only go to 2010, and therefore

New Mexico’s ranking doesn’t fully reflect the gains the state has made between 2007 and 2012 — from a graduation rate of about 60 percent to over 74 percent. New Mexico ranks 36 in perpupil spending at $9,736, according to the report, while the national average is $11,735. The state’s education budget is about $2.7 billion, but state Public Education Secretary-designate

Hanna Skandera plans to ask the Legislature for an additional $68 million in spending this coming year. The Quality Counts report relies on data from the National Assessment for Education Progress, The National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Massive manhunt for brothers underway One suspect tied to al-Qaida amid fears of more attacks By Anthony Faiola, Griff Witte and Greg Miller The Washington Post

President says he wants to purge Islam of extremist ideas

PARIS — A frustrated manhunt for two heavily armed brothers suspected in France’s worst terrorist attack in generations shifted to the cottages and country lanes of rural France as fresh details emerged that one of the brothers had tried to meet with al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen. U.S. officials said the older of the two, Said Kouachi, 34, is believed to have traveled to Yemen in 2011 in an effort to link up with al-Qaida’s affiliate there at a time when that group was eclipsing the terror network’s core leadership in Pakistan as the principal threat to the United States. U.S. officials said Kouachi may have received small-arms training and picked up other skills while in Yemen, but they described the years that followed that 2011 visit as a “kind of hole” in the timeline, with significant gaps in authorities’ understanding of the brothers’ activities and whereabouts. Those blank spots have led U.S. and other officials to seek to determine whether one or both brothers traveled to Syria or another conflict zone, or whether they managed

to lower their profile in France to such a degree that scrutiny of them subsided. Now Said and his younger brother, Chérif Kouachi, 32, are France’s most wanted men, believed to be armed with Kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers and on the loose somewhere in the French countryside. In a massive show of force Thursday, armored vehicles rolled past the ancient stone fences and sugar-beet fields of Aisne, an agricultural district 44 miles north of the capital. Black-clad troopers wearing bulletproof Kevlar gear and carrying assault rifles cordoned off a large area of farmland as they went door-to-door, field-to-field, forest-block-to-forest-block. The two men, French authorities say, are homegrown Islamist extremists and the perpetrators of Wednesday’s bloody assault in a Paris newspaper office that left 12 dead and 11 wounded. Late Thursday, however, authorities were at least partially suspending search efforts in some areas as night fell and amid confusion over whether the suspects had ditched their gray Renault Clio after apparently robbing a gas station in the northern city of Villers-Cotterets earlier in the day. Despite the exasperating nature of the manhunt, French officials vowed to bring the men to justice and announced that they had taken nine people into custody in relation to the case. Authorities would not release their names, but French media said

that those picked up in the dragnet included a sister of the men as well as her companion and the wife of Said Kouachi. Authorities gave no details on any possible connection to the main suspects in Wednesday’s raid: the Kouachi brothers, the Paris-born sons of Algerian immigrants. “We will show these terrorists through the firm defense of the values of the republic that we are not afraid and that we remain united,” said Bernard Cazeneuve, France’s interior minister. “In the last 24 hours, what I have seen is a sense of national responsibility, a sense of unity,” said Jean-Charles Brisard, a Parisbased terrorism and security expert. “We know they want to use this to tear us apart, to create division. But France will not allow that.” Still, a day after the attack, France’s capital was a mix of mourning, anger and hair-trigger tensions — raised even further after the slaying of a policewoman in a Paris suburb Thursday morning. Authorities said there was no immediate link with Wednesday’s terrorist attack. But it underscored one of the main concerns among France’s shaken leaders: that the violence may not be over. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said “a main concern” was whether the brothers — or possibly others — could carry out another attack. “There is no such thing as zero risk,” Valls told RTL radio.

Zeal: Pair’s most recent activities a mystery Continued from Page A-1 Now Kouachi and his brother are the subjects of a massive manhunt, a day after allegedly gunning down a dozen people in an attack on a satirical newspaper in the heart of Paris. “This was the realization of a long-term obsession,” said Myriam Benraad, a researcher at the Paris-based Sciences Po university who has closely studied the group of young men, Kouachi included, who were indoctrinated by the janitor and self-styled preacher at a northern Paris mosque. Kouachi’s long-standing involvement in France’s radical Islamist movement is bound to raise questions about why the 32-year-old Paris native was not being more closely tracked by French intelligence services. U.S. officials confirmed Thursday that the brothers were on the no-fly list, which contains the names of U.S. citizens and residents as well as foreigners not permitted to fly into or out of the U.S. because of specific security concerns. There are about 47,000 names on the list, the vast majority of whom are foreigners. Meanwhile, U.S. officials were carefully reviewing all available information about Kouachi to determine whether he could have used his low profile in recent years to quietly slip out of the country for terrorist training. U.S. officials said Thursday that his older brother, Said Kouachi, 34, traveled to Yemen in 2011 in an effort to link up with the alQaida affiliate there. Authorities are also looking into whether Cherif Kouachi made a more recent trip to Syria. So far, there’s no proof either brother had done so. For more than a year, European security officials have been fixated on the danger posed by thousands of young men and women who have left to fight in Syria’s civil war. Many have returned home, and intelligence agencies have scrambled to track their movements amid calls by the Islamic State for Europe’s Muslims to bring the war to the West. But Kouachi was part of an earlier generation of converts to radical Islam, one that predates the chaos unleashed following the Arab uprisings of 2011 and the declaration of a caliphate by Islamic State leaders in Iraq and Syria last year. Like many of those seduced today, Kouachi was young and directionless when he fell under the spell of radical Islam. He worked odd jobs, smoked pot, drank and engaged in petty theft, according to a lawyer who later represented him. His guide to a different sort of life was Farid Benyettou,

who, like Kouachi, was a young man of Algerian descent living in the hardscrabble neighborhoods of Paris’ 19th arrondissement. But unlike Kouachi, Benyettou was able to mesmerize his peers with a seeming mastery of the Quran and intrigue them with his murky ties to North African militant groups. Despite his humble job washing floors, Benyettou became a direct challenge to the leadership of the local Addawa Mosque. “He was a mix of a rock-androll star and a prophet,” Benraad said. “He was very cool, very well-spoken. And he was much more fun than the imam at the mosque. These guys would go to the mosque and be bored because the imam is speaking Arabic, and they don’t speak Arabic. They were convinced that the mosque wasn’t radical enough for them.” Fueled by anger over the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Benyettou organized his followers into a cell of young men who took their name — the ButtesChaumont network — from the local park where they worked out and prepared for the day when they would do battle with American troops. The men were surprisingly open about their beliefs and their intentions, and the group became a prominent part of the radical Islamist scene in Paris. “It wasn’t a secret. They weren’t ashamed of any of it,” said Amel Boubekeur, a French sociologist who interviewed several of the men, including Benyettou. Using Benyettou’s militant connections, a number of his followers flew to Damascus and then traveled onward to the Iraqi war zone to link up with al-Qaida militants. Kouachi was prepared to join them. “Farid told me that the scrip-

tures offered proof of the goodness of suicide attacks,” he told documentary filmmakers from channel France 3 in 2004. “It is written in the scriptures that it’s good to die a martyr.” But Kouachi didn’t get the chance. He was arrested by French police in 2005, just days before he planned to travel. He served three years in prison before being convicted in 2008 of “criminal association in connection with a terrorist enterprise.” He was subsequently released for time already served. If Kouachi was behind Wednesday’s attacks, he is not the only former member of the Buttes-Chaumont cell who has gone on to commit violence with

international reverberations. Another alumnus, French-Tunisian Islamist militant Boubaker el-Hakim, has been implicated in the assassination of two prominent Tunisian politicians in 2013 and has been linked to the Islamic State. Kouachi’s older brother, Said, was not known to be a prominent member of ButtesChaumont. Jean Charles Brisard, a Paris-based terrorism and security expert, said Cherif probably recruited Said into radical Islam. The public trail of Cherif Kouachi’s life went cold after his 2008 release, leading to speculation among analysts and officials that he may have been deliberately lying low to avoid detection.

Forced chemo for teen approved Conn. high court says rights not violated By Pat Eaton-Robb The Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Thursday that state officials aren’t violating the rights of a 17-year-old girl by forcing her to undergo cancer chemotherapy she doesn’t want. The decision came in the case of the girl known in court documents only as Cassandra C., who will be free to make her own medical decisions when she turns 18 in September. She, with the support of her mother, had fought against the sixmonth course of chemotherapy. The case centered on whether the girl is mature enough to determine how to treat her Hodgkin lymphoma, which she was diagnosed with in September. Several other states recognize the “mature minor doctrine.” The court ruled that her lawyers had the opportunity to prove her maturity during a Juvenile Court hearing in December and failed to do so “under any standard.” The teen, for example, was allowed to go home to undergo treatment in November but instead ran away for a week, according to court documents. “Cassandra either intentionally misrepresented her inten-

her daughter’s body. “This is her decision and her rights, which is what we are here fighting about,” Fortin said. “We should have choices about what to do with our bodies.” Fortin and her lawyer said they are considering their next step after losing the case, but expect to go back to the trial court in an attempt to more fully explore the mature minor argument. After Cassandra was diagnosed with high-risk Hodgkin lymphoma, she and her mother missed several appointments, prompting doctors at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center to notify the state Department of Children and Families, court documents say. The child welfare agency investigated and a trial court granted the agency temporary custody of Cassandra.

Honda fined record $70M over deaths By Joan Lowy The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Thursday it is fining Honda $70 million — the largest civil penalty levied against an automaker — for not reporting to regulators some 1,729 complaints that its vehicles caused deaths and injuries, and for not reporting warranty claims. The Japanese automaker acknowledged in November that it failed to report the death and injury complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over an 11-year period beginning in 2003. The company admitted it learned of the omissions in 2011 but waited three years to take action. Honda also failed to report certain warranty claims and claims under customer satisfaction campaigns throughout the same period, federal officials said. The safety administration is imposing twin fines: $35 million for not reporting the death and injury complaints, and another $35 million for not reporting Language Classes at

Jury selection is set to begin next week. The issues at play with the Scouts are similar to legal battles over the release of confidential Roman Catholic clergy abuse files, said Jody Armour, a law professor at the University of Southern California. The judge in the Boy Scouts case faces a balancing act between the privacy rights of the Scout leaders in the files and the duty to protect children. However, “the Boy Scouts just aren’t in a very sympathetic position,” Armour said. “They seem to be trying to shield themselves from liability behind confidentiality and privacy.” In the Santa Barbara case, the lawsuit states, a 29-year-old Scout volunteer, Al Stein, pulled down the pants of a 13-year-old boy and fondled him while the child was working at a ChristValid at Buffalo Thunder Resort.

the warranty and customer satisfaction claims. Both fines are the maximums the agency is legally allowed to impose. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said the fines reflect the government’s determination to take a tough stance against automakers that withhold safety information from regulators. “One thing we cannot tolerate and will not tolerate is an automaker failing to report to us any safety issues,” Foxx said. The Honda complaints include incidents related to air bags made by Japanese auto supplier Takata Corp., as well as other defective parts. Honda has recalled more than 5 million vehicles in the U.S. since 2008 to fix a potentially fatal defect in Takata-made air bags. The air bag inflators can rupture after a crash and injure occupants with shards of metal. Honda agreed to pay the fines under a consent order it signed with the traffic safety administration on Dec. 29, federal officials said. But officials said they have not yet received all the complaints from Honda.

Autopsy shows Deputy Martin was shot 5 times Victim struck in the back, had signs of physical fight By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeremy Martin, who police say was fatally shot by a fellow deputy, Tai Chan, at a Las Cruces hotel in October, might have been involved in a physical altercation before he was shot, according to an autopsy report released Thursday.

Jeremy Martin

Tai Chan

The report said Martin died of five gunshot wounds to the back of his body. Martin, 29, and Chan, 27, had gotten

into an argument Oct. 28 at a Las Cruces bar, where both were drinking, and continued the dispute at the deputies’ hotel room, Las Cruces police have said. Chan, who has since been fired from the sheriff’s office and was released from jail on a $600,000 property bond while awaiting trial, has pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge. The report says Martin, who had alcohol in his system, was shot in the lower, mid and upper back, as well as the left buttock and right upper arm.

Martin “may have been involved in a physical altercation prior to being shot,” a medical investigator wrote, noting that Martin had bruises and scrapes on his hands and face. The report said Martin had two deep cuts on his left eyebrow, a bruise on his right shoulder, a bruise on his right side of his back, contusions on some of his right fingers and abrasion on the left knee. Investigators didn’t find gun powder on the wounds or Martin’s clothing, and couldn’t determine the range at which the gun was fired.

The gunshots injured Martin’s lung, small and large intestines, and his liver, the report says. A toxicology report, also released Thursday, shows Martin had a blood-alcohol content of 0.10. The level at which a driver in New Mexico is presumed to be intoxicated is 0.08. The killing sent shock waves through the usually low-key sheriff’s office. Investigators haven’t released information about the nature of the argument between the two young

Balderas plans to crack down on child sex crimes, target violent offenders By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE t his first news conference since becoming New Mexico’s attorney general, Hector Balderas pledged Thursday to use his office to fight child predators, including molesters and people involved with child pornography, as well as violent criminals. Though the lion’s share of violent crime is prosecuted by district attorneys rather than the Attorney General’s Office, his “tough-on-crime” talk echoed themes heard during recent election campaigns. “The attorney general’s mission requires leadership in the greatest risks affecting the community,” Balderas said. “First we’re going to focus on ensuring that child molesters and porn peddlers do no harm to children in New Mexico,” he told reporters. “Sex offenders are inherently dangerous, should

always face incarceration, and we need laws that mandate public registration for sex offenders to protect the public safety in the state of New Mexico. There should be no such thing as a nonpublic sex offender.” He gave examples of pending cases in the Attorney General’s Office involving a video of a child thought to be about 18 months old being raped and another case involving videos of children as young as 6 forced to engage in bestiality. Balderas said he has directed his staff to do a review of pending cases “in order to correct plea offers and to toughen our position as attorney general when it comes to protecting children.” Asked whether child pornography is a prevalent problem in the state, Balderas said he believes the crime is “pretty widespread.” But neither he nor his staff could provide any statistics about the number of such cases. Clara Moran, whom

Balderas just appointed to head his office’s Special Prosecutions Division, said the agency is in the process of compiling data. The most recently published annual report by the office, from 2013, listed six cases handled by the Attorney General’s Office that year involving child porn or child sex assaults. Balderas said he will keep the office’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and plans to increase training for law enforcement in this area. In addition to crimes against minors, Balderas said his office will target violent criminals. He promised to be “tougher in supporting jail time for violent offenders.” He announced the creation of a new Criminals Affairs Division “to put away violent criminals and support prosecutors throughout the state and law enforcement when it comes to combating crimes involving the most violent criminals in the state of New Mexico.”

That division will be headed by Sharon Pino, who has worked in the attorney general’s Border Violence Division. Pino also is a former domestic violence czar and worked as a prosecutor in the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office in Santa Fe. Balderas, a Democrat, said he also has reached out to Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and many legislators, saying he wants to work in a bipartisan manner to tackle crime. In responding to a reporter’s question, the new attorney general also took what might be considered a jab at his predecessor, fellow Democrat Gary King, when he said, “The ability of the offender to pay restitution should not buy that offender a better outcome when it comes to justice in New Mexico. A message needs to be sent that justice is not for sale. And it certainly will not be in my administration.” During last year’s gubernato-

Home sales, prices surge at end of 2014 In city, values rose 11.5% in 4th quarter By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

Home sales in Santa Fe finished 2014 on an upswing, as data for the fourth quarter show both a higher median price and more closed sales than in the same period the previous year. Overall closed sales in the city and county rose 3 percent in October, November and December, while the median price of a home sold climbed 8 percent,

according to the Santa Fe Association of Realtors. Thursday’s data also show that the median price of a home sold in the city of Santa Fe increased 11.5 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with a 2.9 percent increase in the unincorporated area. Sales in the northeast part of Santa Fe, where the median price is $724,500, were especially robust, climbing 57 percent from 26 closed sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 to 41 in same quarter of 2014, according to the association. Sales in the higher-end neigh-

borhoods likely benefited from a climb in the stock market, which hit record levels at the end of 2014. For the 2014 calendar year, closed sales in the combined city-county market totaled 2,226, just 90 more than sales in 2013, or an increase of 4.2 percent. The median price over the year dropped 1.7 percent to $295,000 from $300,000 a year earlier. The year saw better sales in the first and last quarters and a more sluggish summer. Association President Barbara Blackwell, a broker with Keller Williams Santa Fe, said inven-

tory tightened a bit in the last three months of 2014, falling 7 percent, and that helped prices. “Interest rates remained lower than expected, helping to attract buyers,” she added in a statement. Heading into 2015, interest rates have remained low, and that should increase affordability for more buyers, Blackwell said. Additionally, first-time buyers should benefit from lower down payment requirements. Contact Bruce Krasnow at 986-3034 or bkrasnow@ sfnewmexican.com.

TAOS — Investigators are working to identify a woman whose decomposing remains were found in what appeared to be a shallow gravesite on the Carson mesa. The remains were unearthed after two residents found what appeared to be a human femur while hiking in the Two Peaks area on Christmas Day. Elizabeth Hagerty said she was walking with her husband, Robert, and their two dogs when one canine began rolling on what appeared to be a burned part of a woman’s brassiere. The dogs proceeded to a hole nearby, which they began digging up on command from the couple, unearthing a bone less than 3 inches beneath the rocky soil, Hagerty said Monday. Their suspicions were piqued, but unsure of whether their dogs had found human remains or the bones of another animal, the couple dug out the femur. Looking at the bone, Hagerty said there was no mistake it was part of a human body. The remains were still decomposing, and flesh was still attached to the bone, she noted. The ground, which appeared to have been disturbed by animals, also seemed to have been burned around the shallow hole, further raising their suspicions, Hagerty said. Hagerty called 911 shortly after 2 p.m. Dec. 25. Taos County Sheriff’s Office personnel met with the couple and went to the site that afternoon, but Hagerty

In brief County spelling bee coming Saturday The annual Santa Fe County Spelling Bee, sponsored by Santa Fe Public Schools, is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday in the Jemez Rooms of the Santa Fe Community College on Richards Avenue. About 55 students from 27 public, private and charter schools are expected to take part. The first-, second- and third-place winners move on to the state spelling bee in Albuquerque on March 21. The winner of that contest advances to compete in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in late May. Last year, Anish Kumar from Desert Academy represented Santa Fe as the state champion at the national contest. He won the New Mexico competition by correctly spelling the word “balneation.”

Responding to Martinez’s ads, King and his staff defended the deal. (The New Mexican, which was owed thousands of dollars in advertising debts by Soutar, was one of the victims that received restitution money from him.)

Balderas also said Tuesday that the practice of hiring private lawyers to file lawsuits on behalf of the Attorney General’s Office is under review. He said he was aware of a New York Times story in December that showed how more attorneys general are hiring private law firms to file suits. The story, which featured King, reported that private lawyers search public records for potential cases and then approach attorneys general. State officials hire the firms to do the necessary legwork, and in return, the firms get a percentage of any money won in a court case. Some of the private lawyers also donated to the campaigns of attorneys general, the newspaper reported.

Balderas said he would examine whether the practice compromises the integrity of the office and will decide if his office should “reform any process” with the private firms. “Those issues are under review,” Balderas said. “We are now studying reforms to make sure that we protect the integrity of the attorney general’s jurisdiction.” Balderas said he also was concerned about protecting taxpayer dollars.

and creating an environment of knowledge and support the county clerks could trust and rely on.” Reporters learned of Adair’s leaving after an email was sent by Chief of Staff Ken Ortiz on Wednesday. The message said, “On behalf of Secretary of State Dianna J. Duran, all media inquiries pertaining to the Office of Secretary of State should be directed to Ken Ortiz.” Asked for more details, Ortiz

told The New Mexican in an email Thursday that “Rod resigned from the Office of Secretary of State effective January 2, 2015. We wish Rod the best as he has indicated that he wished to pursue other opportunities.” Adair, who managed Duran’s 2010 campaign, joined the secretary of state’s staff after deciding not to seek re-election to his Senate seat in 2012. He stepped down last year to help Duran’s campaign, but in mid-November, after the election, he came back to serve as spokesman for the office.

Schools partner with Navajos SHIPROCK — A school district has teamed with the Navajo Nation to assess students’ knowledge of Navajo life and history. The Central Consolidated School District and the tribe’s Education Department will be giving the Diné Content Standards Assessment exam at five schools later this month as part of the pilot program. Diné is the Navajo word for “the people.” The four phases of the assessment study will take as long as two years to complete, and it will be administered in all grant and contract schools on the Navajo Nation that spans parts of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Senior education specialist Maggie Benally told The Daily Times in a story Wednesday that the testing is the first step in making sure the exam fulfills the federal requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. Students in fourth, eighth and 12th grades taking Diné courses at schools in Naschitti, Newcomb and Shiprock will participate in the pilot program.

FUNERALS & MEMORIAL SERVICES JANE MAES

DONALD J. LISKA November 3, 1929 - December 26, 2014 Don Liska, 85, died at home after a brief illness with Alice, his wife of 59 years, by his side. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Don received his Bachelor and Master Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin. It was there that he met Alice. Don and Alice were avid members of the UofW Hoofers, an outdoor enthusiast club where they discovered their love of climbing and the outdoors. Don was drafted into the US Army immediately upon his graduation and served for 2 years. Don began his career as an Engineer in Culver City, CA at Hughes Aircraft. They moved on to Seattle, WA to work at Boeing. During this time he and Alice lived in a trailer which had minimal indoor plumbing. This "temporary" living arrangement lasted for 10 years and is a testament to both Don and Alice’s hardiness, sense of adventure and devotion to each other. Don took a staff position at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1966 and with Alice, immediately joined the Los Alamos Mountaineers. He became a well respected multifaceted engineer designing and building particle accelerators. His career led him to sabbaticals at Rutherford Laboratory in England and Cern in Geneva Switzerland. Don retired in 1993 after 27 years of service. He loved New Mexico not only because of his rewarding career at the Lab but also because of its natural beauty and the outdoor adventures that were readily available to him. He was a member of the American Alpine Club for many years and became an honorary lifetime member of the Los Alamos Mountaineers about 10 years ago. He was one of the strongest and most active members with many first ascents to his credit. Both he and Alice were enthusiastic mountaineers, rock climbers, backpackers, down hill and cross country skiers, hikers, cyclists, and canoeists. Additionally Don was passionate about folk dancing, politics, world travel, US and world history, the environment and animals. He greeted everybody with a warm smile and always made you feel welcome and important. Don once said, "When we think back on our lives, it’s the exciting trips and outdoor adventures that stand out. Not the many days in the office." Don will be missed by his countless friends and acquaintances whose lives he has touched and influenced. A celebration of Don’s life and interment of his ashes at Santa Fe National Cemetery will both be announced at a later date in anticipation of warmer weather. Hopefully many of those who knew Don will participate. In lieu of flowers, consider a donation to your favorite environmental or animal rescue cause.

Patricia Carpenter, 85, passed away on December 30, 2014 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was born to Benjamin and Bernice O’Dell in Price, Utah in 1929. Soon after, they moved to Cripple Creek, Colorado where she lived until they moved to Grand Junction, Colorado. While finishing her Associates Degree at Mesa Jr. College in Grand Junction, she met the love of her life Gil Carpenter. When they graduated in June of 1949, they married and moved to Carbondale, Colorado, where he began his career in the retail lumber business. Gil passed away in April 2014, just short of celebrating 65 wonderful years of marriage with Pat. Pat’s career choice of homemaker and mother was perfect as she and Gil raised five children while moving to nine different towns in Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico as Gil’s career progressed. Pat packed and unpacked for new homes at least 25 times and helped her children adjust to new friends and schools many times. She loved the Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico mountains, so over the years she also packed and unpacked the family station wagons for many spectacular picnics and camping trips in those mountains. She loved music and broke into song on the spur of the moment, making every day an occasion to celebrate. She and Gil were amazing dancers and cut a rug whenever and wherever possible. Pat enjoyed many years in New Mexico living in Gallup, Albuquerque, Corrales, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe. She enjoyed long walks in all those areas and was particularly fond of the Albuquerque Bosque. Pat and Gil were devout Catholics and sacrificed a lot to educate their children in Catholic schools. Pat had a quick wit, warm smile and loving heart and Gil adored her! Pat is survived by her five children: Kelly Carpenter, Paula Cook (Doug), Maggie Dorris (Lizard), Stephen Carpenter and Rebecca Fowler (Mick); her grandchildren, Matthew Craft, Caitlin Dupuis (John), and Ellee Cook; and her brother, Joseph O’Dell (Susie). She will be missed by her children and their husbands, her grandchildren, brother and Susie, and friends. A Mass of Christian burial will be held Monday, January 12, 2015, 1:30 p.m., at St. Anne’s Catholic Church, 511 Alicia Street in Santa Fe followed by burial at the Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes a donation to the charity of your choice.

T COMMENTARY: LEONID BERSHIDSKY

What the ‘Charlie’ terrorists have won BERLIN lthough French police have now identified and are hunting the suspects in Wednesday’s Charlie Hebdo attack, the terrorists have, on at least two levels, already won: They’ve scared a number of powerful news organizations into submission, and they’ve stoked European Islamophobia, whose rise will help militant Islamists recruit more supporters. Here’s a mental exercise: Imagine you’re a terrorist leader watching today’s news. You’d scoff at images of big rallies in European cities meant to express solidarity with the victims of the attack. The people in the street may hold up placards saying “Not afraid” and “Je suis Charlie,” but these crowds are not made up of journalists. News organizations, in many cases, have chosen to censor images in which Charlie Hebdo cartoons are visible. The media outlets involved include London’s Telegraph, the New York Daily News and The Associated Press. The latter actually uploaded the Charlie cartoons to its database but then deleted them. Major U.S. television networks also refused to show the images, saying that would go against their policies. The New York Times and CNN decided to describe the cartoons but not show them, arguing that would give readers an understanding of the story, but not offend religious sensibilities: After all, irreverent (or, indeed, any) images of the Prophet Muhammad are what Islam objects to. A terrorist reading this would laugh out loud at the hypocrisy: These are cartoons, for God’s sake, works of visual art that are funny, or meaningful, only as such. It’s as ridiculous to describe them verbally as to

explain a joke. Those who made the rules at these news organizations can plaster themselves head to foot with “Je suis Charlie” stickers, but they are transparently not Charlie. To be sure, others upheld the Western free-speech tradition in the face of the strongest resistance it has faced in decades. I am proud to work for one of these organizations. Others include The Huffington Post, Sweden’s Expressen, the Daily Beast, Germany’s Berliner Zeitung, Denmark’s Berlingske. On balance, however, a terrorist watching the news would have to see the level of journalistic fear as a convincing win. The second victory is subtler. After the Paris attack, the number of people who “liked” the Facebook page of the German anti-immigrant group Pegida, which holds big and ever-growing weekly demonstrations in Dresden, jumped by about 7,500 to 120,500. The page now features a black ribbon in memory of the Charlie Hebdo victims. It also contains one of the most hypocritical messages I have ever seen following a major terrorist attack: “Even if today’s cowardly attack in Paris, an attack on freedom of expression, democracy, Europe itself, seems to be water on our mill, we will not take it as an opportunity to say ‘We told you so.’ “No, precisely because we are no loudmouths like those who vilify us, no claque like those who reflexively say about us ‘Never Again in Germany,’ wanting to prevent our mostly silent evening walks … We remain silent in sorrow and humility and solidarity with the families of the French editors who have been the first victims. We remain silent and we will go for a walk on Monday again,

silently and with black armbands.” After the killings, Marine Le Pen, leader of the French far-right Front National, made a politically correct speech condemning Islamic fundamentalism, but one of her top lieutenants, Wallerand de Saint-Just, explained in an interview before she spoke that the problem was Islam, which “has a tendency to create fanatics more than any other religion,” and the French nationality of the suspected terrorists, which makes it impossible to deport them. Wednesday’s act of terrorism is clearly encouraging anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant forces. They also don “Je suis Charlie” buttons, even though Charlie Hebdo was a leftist publication that made fun of them more often than it went after Muhammad. At this, the terrorist watching the news must be rubbing his hands. After all, the militant Islamic groups do not want European Muslims to integrate, to become Europeans as Charlie Hebdo copy editor Mustapha Ourrad and police officer Ahmed Merabet — both killed in the attack — had done. They want Muslims to join them to carry out more such terrorism, or go off to fight with Islamic State. The more far-right protests against their very presence, the more likely Muslims will be to turn to the militant groups for guidance and moral support. This situation requires both standing up for European values and making integration more, not less, attractive to Muslims. With the news media barely hiding their fear and the far right on the rise, the terrorists cannot but win. Leonid Bershidsky is a Bloomberg View contributor based in Berlin.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t fund Yucca Mountain waste site

s Congress struggles to produce a federal budget, one item clearly should not be included: wasting money to try to license the Yucca Mountain site as a nuclear waste dump. The site cannot isolate nuclear waste because it is ridden with earthquake and volcanic activity and will leak radioactivity in water and air. It not only threatens Nevada, Arizona and California downstream but also residents and travelers in nearly every state in the country. That’s because bringing lethal radioactive waste to the troubled site would unleash a massive transportation campaign spreading thousands of nuclear waste shipments out over roads, rails and waterways. President Barack Obama did the right thing when he canceled the Yucca Mountain project in 2010. It’s time to move on and seek new solutions. Congress must not make the situation worse by providing more funding for the failed Yucca Mountain dump. Jane Lipman

Ranking 2014 letters Here are my 2014 outstanding letter awards. Barbara Beasley Murphy (“Parents, do

better,” Letters to the editor, Sept. 7) and Tim Beckmon (“Parent participation,” Letters to the editor, May 13) earn an honorable mention for urging parental responsibility whether it involves foolishly allowing an 8-year-old to shoot an Uzi or failure to attend parent-teacher conferences. Third place goes to Dr. Jacob Amir (“Can’t compare,” Letters to the editor, Jan. 8) for demolishing the false notion that Israel is an apartheid state. Richard Connerty’s critique of the animal rights movement (“Traditional turkey,” Letters to the editor, Nov. 26) earns second place by noting that the movement’s agenda is more political than social. The first-place winner, Richard Block (“Personal responsibility is the key,” Letters to the editor, May 6) urges personal responsibility by bicyclists when approaching railroad crossings. Amen. Linda Chavez’s letter — (“Real-world experience,” Letters to the editor, Jan. 31) — she believes three DWI convictions are irrelevant to one’s qualifications to serve on our City Council, and Brian O’Keefe’s clueless letter (“Israel’s war crimes,” Sept. 17) on Israel, Hamas and Gaza are the 2014 losers.

Perspective on Cuba Evangeline M. Pacheco’s letter (“Suffering Cubans,” Jan. 1) does not represent the Cuba I have experienced. In 1954, I was invited to visit Cuba by coffee plantation owners. Workers’ children were not allowed to go to school. The workers’ homes were within stockyards and there was no glass in the windows to keep out flies. I suggested glass might improve the workers’ lives. The owner said “workers don’t mind flies.” The cathedral plaza in Havana was filled with beggars — mostly elderly women; roadside vendors were in tatters; the dancers at the Tropicana were mistreated by their Mafia bosses; and President Fulgencio Batista could not enter the Havana Country Club because he was multiracial. I have made two recent trips. There are notable changes: Full literacy, health care, support for students and the arts. On the last trip to Havana, I went to the Tropicana — everyone was having a wonderful time (no more Mafia). Pacheco sees in Cuba a failed system. I don’t. Cuba is a nation, not an all-night party.

he notion of the single citizen taking on big government is popular in American mythology — after all, whether it is Mr. Smith going to Washington, D.C., to battle entrenched interests, or the little guy fighting the city council to stop big development, Americans want to believe that David can still beat Goliath. Unless, of course, fear of a lawsuit stops the outrage before it can be uncorked. Right now, one citizen — Norm Gaume, a retired engineer — has been among those battling the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission over a project that would dam the Gila River and divert its water for other uses. Gaume, an engineer and former ISC director, has other disagreements with the agency he used to supervise. He contends the ISC has violated state open meetings law. He sued over the issue, even winning a temporary restraining order canceling a meeting on the project. He contends that some agency decisions on the Gila River Project were made in secret. The ISC eventually was allowed to move forward (and sadly, has approved the project) but the courts did not rule on the claim that the ISC violated the Open Meetings Act. Now, the state is suing back. In the countersuit, the state claims Gaume’s allegations are unfounded. Because the claims lack merit, the state argues, Gaume should pay any costs associated with delaying the decision. Those costs aren’t cheap, either, including agency staff time to defend the suit and lost airfare for state consultants after a meeting was canceled. That’s on top of attorney fees. Gaume figures costs could go as high as $100,000. State officials claim they aren’t suing because of the open meetings claims. They are upset that Gaume’s lawsuit postponed the decision because he sought — and won — the temporary restraining order. That delay was costly, and they want Gaume to pay. Whatever the motivation, this lawsuit is out of line. A citizen must be able to seek redress legally without fear of being wiped out financially later. A judge granted the restraining order delaying the ISC meeting — will the state call the judge on the carpet next? Gaume’s claims had enough merit to stand initial scrutiny. Just-appointed state engineer Tom Blaine — who also serves as secretary of the ISC — came on the job in November. Whatever did or didn’t happen in the meetings leading up to the ISC decision on the Gila River Project, Blaine was not involved. He wasn’t on the job yet. Now, with his influence on the ISC, he should persuade his fellow commissioners and the agency attorney to drop this lawsuit. Citizens have enough trouble standing up to big government without the threat of financial ruin. The state of New Mexico needs to drop this lawsuit.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 9, 1915: Berlin — Six German aeroplanes dropped bombs and set fire to military depots at Strazelle and Hazebreuck. British aeroplanes, armed with machine guns, pursued and the outcome is unknown. The railway station at Armentieres was attacked, fired on by a German aviator and three aviators dropped bombs at a fort near Verdun. Editorial — A most valuable suggestion has come from a state legislator in Michigan, who has introduced a resolution to call upon Congress to immediately purchase Mexico from Gen. Pancho Villa. This idea finds favor with The New Mexican. We are spending enough millions in traipsing along the border, shunting trainloads of soldiers back and forth, holding prolonged conferences, issuing ultimatums and other things to go a long way on the purchase price. Sounds economical. Jan. 9, 1990: From 1947 until the early 1960s, two federal agencies struggled in secret over the fate of thousands of men who were being exposed to hazardous levels of radiation while mining uranium for the nuclear weapons industry. The Atomic Energy Commission prevailed in the battle over mine safety with the Public Health Service. The result has been a widening trail of deaths and disabilities from lung cancer across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, according to federal and state researchers.

Newsmakers Queen Latifah takes long road to ‘Bessie’ film

Queen Latifah

PASADENA, Calif. — When Queen Latifah was approached 20 years ago to play Bessie Smith, she had to do some research. “I was Queen Latifah the rapper. I had no idea who Bessie Smith was,” the singer-actress told the Television Critics Association on Thursday. Since then, she’s been thoroughly schooled in the life and talent of the legendary blues singer, whom Latifah, 44, finally gets to portray in the HBO film Bessie, which will air this spring.

Golden Globes awards put spotlight on talent By Sandy Cohen The Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. The folks behind Sunday night’s Golden Globes show say they won’t address the Sony hack during the big show, but the subject is fair game for hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. “I think that especially in the last couple of months, the girls have been provided with quite some interesting fodder,” Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Theo Kingma said coyly outside the Golden Globes’ ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Inside the venue — filled with scissor-lifts, boxes of cables and builders getting the place camera-ready — 20-time Globes producer Barry Adelman said he’s leaving discussion of the Hollywood hacking scandal to the stars in the spotlight. “I’m sure there’ll be some comments this year about (the Sony scandal and the film The Interview at the center of it), but we’ll let that happen from the people who are on stage,” he said. This will be the third year in a row Fey and Poehler have hosted the show, and they’ve said it will also be their final time. Last year, they helped boost the Globes’ TV ratings to the best they’ve been in a decade. Birdman leads film nomi-

nees at this year’s Golden Globe Awards with seven bids, including best picture (musical or comedy), best actor for star Michael Keaton and supporting actor nods for Emma Stone and Edward Norton. Other film front-runners include the coming-of-age story Boyhood and World War II code-cracking drama The Imitation Game. On the television side, the FX crime drama Fargo has a leading five nominations, followed by HBO’s True Detective with four. George Clooney, who called for an alliance to release The Interview in the name of artistic freedom after it was shelved by Sony, will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the ceremony. Apart from the acting nominees — which include Julianne Moore, Ricky Gervais, Helen Mirren, Steve Carell and Jake Gyllenhaal — a spate of A-listers are set to serve as presenters. Bryan Cranston and supporting actress nominee Meryl Streep were announced Thursday. Other presenters include Robert Downey Jr., Kate Hudson, Channing Tatum, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Hart, Lily Tomlin, Salma Hayek and Chris Pratt. Sunday’s 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on NBC starting at 6 p.m. MST.

Investigator: NFL should have sought more info in Rice case By Jimmy Golen and Barry Wilner The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The long-awaited Mueller report was released Thursday with no unexpected findings: the NFL initially botched the Ray Rice case and had a weak domestic abuse policy, but investigators found no evidence league officials saw a tape of Rice hitting his fiancée before it was released. Owners and executives were quick to say the league had learned from its mistakes and is solidly behind Commissioner Roger Goodell and changes he has made. The report from a former FBI

director hired to investigate said the league’s investigative system relied too much on information from law enforcement after the Ravens running back knocked out his fiancée in an elevator at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City. The 96-page report by Robert S. Mueller III said Goodell and his investigators might have seen the video of Rice hitting Janay Palmer before handing down the suspension had they tried harder. “The NFL should have done more with the information it had and should have taken additional steps to obtain all available information about

the Feb. 15 incident,” Mueller said in a statement after releasing his report. The report said a review of phone records and emails of NFL employees showed no evidence that anyone in the league had seen the graphic video before it hit the Internet in September. A law enforcement official showed The Associated Press videos of the incident and said he mailed a DVD to NFL headquarters in April. The private investigation, without subpoena power, did not include any contact with the law enforcement official who showed the AP the videos.

Buckeyes don’t think they are underdogs By Rusty Miller The Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Offensive tackle Taylor Decker doesn’t believe that Ohio State is an underdog to Oregon in the national championship game on Monday. In fact, Decker refuses to recognize that anything so outlandish is even possible. “I know Vegas or ESPN or whatever has us as a 7- or 9-point underdog or something like that but we are not,” Decker said, clearly agitated. “We are not an underdog. Ohio State is never going to be an underdog, and that is just how it is.” Oddsmakers in Las Vegas, Nev. have the Ducks as a 6½-point favorite, a spread driven up from an initial straight-up pick by bettors backing Oregon. Many TV pundits also like Oregon to grab the inaugural playoff crown. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes take it

The Denver Broncos quarterback rarely took his reddened hands out of the pouch around his waist Wednesday following a Peyton two-hour practice Manning in 16-degree, windy weather. After nine minutes of chatting about a showdown with Indianapolis

drian George is a wrestler first and foremost, but another sport took away his first love for a whole year. George, a senior at Capital, was simply backpedaling at football practice for the Jaguars in 2013 when a bomb suddenly went off in his knee. A tragic misstep ripped his anterior cruciate, medial collateral and lateral collateral ligaments as well as his meniscus. “Everything tore,” George said. “I realized I was done for the year, and all I was focused on was getting back for this year. That was my main goal.”

The devastating injury meant George had to sit out the wrestling season, this after transferring from Santa Fe High after his sophomore year for the specific purpose of wrestling for the Jaguars and head coach Marcos Gallegos. “That was the first thing I thought about,” George said. “Not being able to wrestle for a whole year was kind of weird. It was very disappointing because I think junior year is one of the most important years. That’s where you get the scouts to come and all that stuff, so I was pretty upset.” And George was expecting the scouts to come knocking. He finished second in the Class AAAA State Championships at 106 pounds his freshman year before winning the division as a sophomore.

Even after winning a state championship, George still wanted to improve his skills by wrestling for the Jaguars, and that put a big ol’ smile on Gallegos’ face. “I’ve known Adrian for a long, long time, and the wrestling community in Santa Fe is so small that when he decided to make the jump I was excited about it,” Gallegos said. “It was just a bummer that he had that knee injury during football season.” The injury had Gallegos thinking about what could have been. The Jaguars barely missed out on the podium at the state championships last year with a fourth-place finish, and it’s possible George

But none of those studies show that compression sleeves improve your shot, so it would seem they are mostly for show. They are just another one of those things that became fashionable. I remember when headbands became a big thing when I was in junior high. I’m fairly sure Iverson was part of the reason too. The dude was just a trendsetter. I know their purpose is to keep sweat out of your eyes, but trust me, none of us were wearing them because of that. Now I’m seeing kids wear leggings, too. Why they feel the need to play basketball in tights is beyond me. Pretty soon they might just start sporting leotards under their uniforms. And if the NBA starts selling leotards on its website after this, I better get some royalties.

Yeah, I know I’m being pretty hard on the kids right now, but I am guilty of a fashion faux pas myself. I once wore elbow bands for a high school football game. Why? To look cool, that’s why. Hey, sometimes you just need to look cool to play your best. That has to be why The University of New Mexico men’s basketball rocks those crazy hairstyles, right? None of these things accessories actually help improve your game, at least not physically. Take a kid’s sleeve away and he might start throwing bricks just because he’s used to playing in it. So yes, hoops, keep telling us what to wear. We can’t play to our full potential unless we look cool while doing it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get to the mall and get the new Jordans as fast as I can.

Rice: Owners agree NFL domestic violence policy was insufficient Continued from Page B-1 The officer played the AP a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number dated April 9, in which a woman verifies receipt of the DVD and says: “You’re right, it’s terrible.” The official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to share the evidence, told the AP on Thursday he didn’t speak with investigators. “I took steps to ensure a call from any person at the NFL wouldn’t be traced back to me and I was never contacted by the team of investigators hired by the NFL to investigate the NFL,” he said. “I still don’t know who confirmed receiving the video and I don’t know what that person did with it.”

“We have reviewed the report and stand by our original reporting,” said Kathleen Carroll, the AP’s executive editor. “The Mueller team did ask us for source material and other newsgathering information, but we declined. Everything that we report and confirm goes into our stories. We do not offer up reporters’ notes and sources.” Giants owner John Mara and Steelers President Art Rooney, the men appointed by Goodell as liaisons to the investigation, said the 32 team owners were briefed in a conference call Thursday morning. They all expressed their belief Goodell told the truth throughout the investigation. They reiterated their backing of Goodell, whose job never appeared in jeopardy despite the missteps by the

league in the Rice case and calls for scrutiny of him from outside groups. “There was resounding support for Roger,” Rooney said. “There’s a very strong confidence in Roger going forward in terms of him being the commissioner of the league.” Still, Mueller found the NFL’s deference to the law enforcement process involving Rice “led to deficiencies in the league’s collection and analysis of information during its investigation.” He added, such an approach “can foster an environment in which it is less important to understand precisely what a player did than to understand how and when the criminal justice system addresses the event.” Mueller’s report details some of the efforts the NFL made in obtaining the video, but said the league should have

taken additional steps. “League investigators did not contact any of the police officers who investigated the incident, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, or the Revel to attempt to obtain or view the in-elevator video or to obtain other information,” the report said. “No one from the league asked Rice or his lawyer whether they would make available for viewing the in-elevator video they received as part of criminal discovery in early April.” The report also said the league didn’t follow up on initial conversations with the Ravens to determine whether the team had more information. The official showed the AP multiple videos from the casino the night Rice was arrested. Those videos included

security cameras from inside and outside the elevator and two cellphone videos that included some audio. The league said it considered the video published by TMZ in September to be new evidence meriting an indefinite suspension. Its emergence drew renewed backlash to the league from women’s organizations, members of Congress and players — all calling for more detail on how the NFL handled the case. Mara and Rooney said Mueller made six recommendations that the owners will review. They agreed that the league’s policy on domestic violence was insufficient.

PREP ROUNDUP

NMSD rallies over ATC in final minute The New Mexican

It was a chance for a struggling first-year girls basketball program to get a boost of confidence. Instead, it turned NMSD 35 into a locker room full ATC 28 of tears and a missed opportunity for the Phoenix of the Academy for Technology and the Classics. ATC held a one-point lead heading into the final minute of a nondistrict road game against New Mexico School for the Deaf in Larsen Gym, but the Lady Roadrunners scored the last eight points of the game to steal a 35-28 win. It capped a 17-3 scoring run in the fourth quarter for the Lady Roadrunners, who trailed 25-18 after three. The Phoenix (1-12) led 28-27 when they fouled Amberley Luna, who hit two free throws to take the lead. After Jaelyn Sanchez hit a free throws ATC then turned the ball over the next two times, which led to transition baskets for NMSD — and nary a dry eye in the ATC locker room afterward. “Those girls were heartbroken,” Phoenix

head coach Ray Roybal said. Roybal said the Lady Roadrunners picked up the intensity level in the fourth quarter, and his team didn’t quite match it. NMSD did this despite playing with just six players on the roster, and head coach Letty Perez indicated fatigue played a role in creating the deficit. “The [third] quarter was not pretty and we made many offensive and defensive errors, and the girls were slowing down due to being tired,” Perez wrote in an email. Ashley Zapata led the way for the Phoenix with 15 points, while Amrit Sandhu added seven. NMSD had Janell Miller score 20 points — with 15 coming in the first half — while Luna scored all 10 of her points in the second half. ESCALANTE 37, SANTA FE PREP 35 The Blue Griffins have had a rough stretch by losing their last three games by a combined eight points, and two of those losses were to the Lady Lobos. Prep (5-4) fought back from a 21-12 halftime deficit in Thursday’s nondistrict game

in Tierra Amarilla and led by three points with just over two minutes remaining, but Escalante (5-2) still squashed all hope. “Honestly, we keep putting ourselves in a position to win these games,” Prep head coach Anika Amon said. “Now it’s about the desire to make it happen.” The usual suspects of Alexis Mundt and Bianca Gonzales led Prep with 15 and 10 points, respectively. Rayann Mora paced Escalante with 13 points. ST. MICHAEL’S 55, SOCORRO 29 For about 5 minutes, any talk about “The Streak” fell by the wayside. The Lady Warriors outhustled and outworked the Lady Horsemen for a short-lived 9-8 lead. St. Michael’s finally took control after that, allowing just 11 points over the next 19 minutes to build a 45-19 lead through three quarters to secure its 12th straight win after an 0-2 start. “The coaches weren’t happy about giving up 11 points in the first [quarter],” Lady Horsemen head coach Martin Romero said. “And neither were [the players].” Jocelyn Fernandez led St. Michael’s with 13 points, while Latysha Archuleta added 12 and Alex Groenewold 10. Socorro had Destiney Vergara with eight.

Mat: Returns to take team leadership role Continued from Page B-1 could have helped them earn their first team trophy. But after a surgery in which a piece of someone else’s hamstring was used to repair his ACL, George is back to form and is a vital part of the Capital wrestling team. He was even able to compete in a few out-ofstate wrestling tournaments in the summer. He opted to forgo football his senior year to avoid another injury and instead ran cross country for the Jaguars to get back into the routine of competition. “It was something to do before wrestling season so that when I came here I wouldn’t be too out of shape,” George said. “It was just something fun to do before the season.” George is back to on the mat after a one-year hiatus — and that is where he truly belongs. “It’s exciting to have him come wrestle for us,” Gallegos said. “It makes our team a lot stronger. This year, I expect him to do a lot of great things. He’s a tough wrestler. He’s going to make some noise this year in the state.” The injury was also somewhat of a blessing in disguise. George has played football since he was 5, and his knees

have taken a pounding. Now that one is surgically repaired, he feels better than he has a long time — and that usually doesn’t happen after serious knee injuries. “When I was playing football, I was always getting hit in the knees,” George said. “I feel a little faster and stronger now that it’s been fixed.” Even though he is the new guy on the team, George finds himself as the only senior due

to reigning AAAA 152-pound champion Ernesto Salvidrez sitting out the season with insufficient grades. Although the team is 45 wrestlers strong, it is mostly composed of freshmen and sophomores, and they will be looking to George for guidance. But all he has to do to push the younger wrestlers is keep winning. “Adrian came in in a leadership role,” Gallegos said. “It was

real easy for him because guys already know who he is. You look to the guys that are winning, and he and [sophomore Jose Tapia] are winning. You can’t ask any more from your leaders.” And those wins are starting to catch the attention of scouts. George received emails from the University of Northern Colorado as well as schools from Texas and the East Coast that he can’t recall. While the spotlight will continue to be on him and Tapia, who won the 113-pound division last year, they are just part of a larger team that could make a splash in the championships at the end of the season. “Everyone on this team is really good,” George said. “We should do good things this year.” Above all, George is just happy to be back on the mat. It has been his second home for so long, and not even a devastating injury will prevent him from staying on it for years to come. “Wrestling means a lot to me,” George said. “I’ve been doing this since before kindergarten with my brother. We were wrestling every day. I just love the sport.”

NO. 14 MISSISSIPPI STATE 72, ARKANSAS 57 In Starkville, Miss., Victoria Viviens scored 21 points and Mississippi State extended its school-record best start.

Oregon capitalizes on title run with brand campaign By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. — In the days leading up to the Rose Bowl, Oregon sent customized football jerseys to some of its famous fans, including guitarist Tommy Thayer of Kiss, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and retired boxer Lennox Lewis. The jerseys were part of a social media campaign to draw nonfootball fans to the Ducks. Oregon’s athletic department has become known for such attention grabbing, and now the school’s academic side was joining in. Even before the Ducks face Ohio State in the national championship game Monday, university efforts like the jersey campaign are translating into the “Flutie Effect.” So named for the surge in applications at Boston College following quarterback Doug Flutie’s Hail Mary against Miami in 1984, in recent years the phenomenon has touched several schools. Boise State, for example, cited a 135 percent jump in online academic inquiries, record merchandise sales and an increase in donations following its perfect 13-0 season in 2006. The Ducks aren’t leaving their Flutie Effect to chance. Just before the Rose Bowl victory against Florida State, Oregon launched its new academic website. That was not a coincidence, said Tim Clevenger, the university’s associate vice president for communications, marketing, and brand management. It was decided before the season started last fall to kick off a four-year overall marketing campaign using football as a welcome mat. “As the season progressed, the Heisman announcement came out, we won the Pac-12 championship, and then we’re going to the Rose Bowl, the whole thing just steamrolled,” Clevenger said. “It was an opportunity to say, ‘The excellence that the football team and the whole athletic program in general represent is what the University of Oregon is all about.’ ” Billboards went up across Los Angeles. There were prospective student rallies. And Oregon debuted a new TV spot that ran for the first

time during the Rose Bowl — taking advantage of the free 30-second ad the opposing schools both get during the game broadcast — which will run again on Monday during the game between the Ducks and Ohio State. The effort, which is being privately funded, paid off. In the hour after the ad aired, Oregon’s web traffic quadrupled, Clevenger said. The traffic from the school’s main home page to the admissions page was six times what is was the previous year when the Ducks beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl. The traffic to the academics information page doubled, and an “Explore Majors” page surged with six times the hits, Clevenger said. “So it’s very clear that the broad awareness that our team brings is translating to people checking out the university and finding out about us,” he said. The evolution of the Ducks’ athletic brand has been an ongoing process for more than a decade, starting when Nike co-founder and Oregon

alum Phil Knight posed a simple question to the athletic department: “What do you need to get to the next level?” That brought new facilities and state-of-the-art locker rooms that gave way this season to the sparkling Hatfield Dowlin Complex adjacent to Autzen Field, with the Ferrarileather seats in the team auditorium and Italian marble in the showers. The idea was to help lure top recruits to Eugene in a conference where Los Angeles and Seattle are more attractive destinations. And it brought those countless flashy uniforms the team is known for. Amid all the Nike-facilitated flash, Oregon also started winning. In the past 10 years, the Ducks have the most wins among power conference schools with 106; LSU is second with 103. Coach Chip Kelly brought in an unconventional hyperdrive spread offense in 2007 that the Ducks have built upon even now that Kelly has moved on to the NFL.

Buckeyes: Confounding expectations Continued from Page B-1 personally, privately and sometimes publicly seething while awaiting a chance to prove people wrong in a third consecutive game — the third of four games this season Ohio State will play as an underdog. Wisconsin was favored over the Buckeyes in the Big Ten championship game. The Badgers did not cover the 3½-point spread, however, losing 59-0. Then, Alabama was an 8-point favorite pick to win the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day against the Buckeyes. Ohio State came out on top 42-35. It’s been a driving force all season for Ohio State: Somebody puts them down or praises an opponent and next thing you know, the Buckeyes are celebrating when they leave the field. That was the case in their biggest win of the regular season, when they were 3½-point underdogs traveling to No. 8 Michigan State on Nov. 8, then beat the Spartans by 12 points. “Everyone chose us to lose. We took that to heart. We went out there and played,” said Ohio State defensive tackle Adolphus Washington. “It was a good thing to carry over throughout the rest of the season.” The Buckeyes, like Oregon a winner in 13 of 14 starts, have won a nation’s best 12 games in a row since a dismal 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech

in its second game. They’re 9-5 against the spread this year (compared with Oregon at 10-4 against the spread), and face two big elements swaying public perception toward the Ducks in the national championship game, gambling expert R.J. Bell of Pregame.com said. Oregon is appealing to bettors because it plays fast, scores a lot of points, and just beat a team that hadn’t lost in two years, Bell said. Meanwhile, some bettors perceive the Big Ten as a second-rate conference in college football — teams in the conference were underdogs in all 10 bowl games played so far this year before the title game, Bell said. “It’s just very unusual that it would fall this way,” Bell said. “It’s really a perfect storm of public bias.” It makes most of the Buckeyes angry. “Shocker. That’s a shock that we’re the underdogs again even after we beat the No. 1 team in the nation,” said linebacker Darron Lee. “But, hey, whatever.” Safety Tyvis Powell also bristles at the mention of the ‘u’ word. “We still don’t get the respect that we deserve,” he said. “I’ve seen some things on the Internet where, like, 66 percent of the world is picking Oregon. I mean I understand why, everybody sees Oregon and they’re like, ‘Oh, wow.’ But it’s just motivation to come out here and make sure

we get the job done.” Others are disinterested in what others say or think. “I don’t care if we’re the underdogs or favorites,” quarterback Cardale Jones said. “We’re going to go out there and play like it’s the last game of the season.” Because, well, it is the last game of the season — with the first CFP playoff title riding on the outcome. Bell said being pegged as an underdog often motivates elite teams and gives them a psychological edge. “Bowl games in particular, underdogs have an advantage because they have a significant leadup time to the bowl game in which they’re told they’re not supposed to win,” Bell said. Since 2000, Ohio State has been an underdog 31 times. It beat the spread 20 times and won 16 of those games outright, Bell said. Coach Urban Meyer said he may conjure up the underdog label to fire up his team, if need be. “I don’t, like, pull out my ‘underdog script’ that we have in my file,” he said, tongue in cheek. “It’s what kind of team you’ve got and who you’re playing. Since I’ve been a head coach, we’ve gone berserk with it a few times and there’s other times — this last one [against Alabama] — we didn’t really play it up much.”

NBA

Harden has 25 points, Rockets hand Knicks 14th straight loss NEW YORK — James Harden had 25 points and nine assists in just three quarters and the Houston Rockets beat New York 120-96 on Thursday night to extend the Knicks’ longest single-season losing streak to 14 games. The Rockets beat New York for the 11th straight time, though everyone is beating the Knicks these days. New York has lost 24 of its last 25 games to fall to an NBAworst 5-34. Trevor Ariza added 18 points for the Rockets, who improved to just 4-4 in their last eight. Harden didn’t reach his NBA-leading average of 26.8 points only because he was limited to 31 minutes, sitting out the fourth quarter with Houston already leading by 24.

Rookie Travis Wear scored a season-high 21 points and Langston Galloway had 19 for the Knicks in his second game since being called up from the NBA Development League. HORNETS 103, RAPTORS 95 In Toronto, Gerald Henderson scored a season-high 31 points, Kemba Walker added 29 and Charlotte beat the Raptors for its fourth straight victory. Walker made a jumper from just inside the 3-point line with 19.6 seconds to give the Hornets a six-point lead. The point guard also had assists and seven rebounds. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 10 points and 12 rebounds. Kyle Lowry led Toronto, coming off a six-game trip, with 24 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. Lou Williams added 15 points.

Frozen memories, for sure. Frostbite memories, even. In the history of NFL games, none stands out for the brutal conditions in which it was played like the NFC championship on the last day of 1967. Simply dubbed the Ice Bowl, those who participated in Cowboys-Packers that day at Lambeau Field still shiver when talking about it. With Dallas paying its first postseason visit to Green Bay since losing 21-17 on Bart Starr’s quarterback sneak with 13 seconds remaining on that frigid day, recalling that game 47 years ago is timely. Painful, too, if you were a Cowboy. “It’s something you can’t imagine, being in that kind of cold,” says Dan Reeves, whose 50-yard halfback option pass to Lance Rentzel on the first play of the fourth quarter put Dallas ahead before Green Bay rallied and advanced to the second Super Bowl against Oakland. “I’d been in games around 5 or 6 degrees and it was not even close to being like that.” Like that was anywhere from minus 13 with the wind chill at kickoff to 10 or more degrees colder when Reeves threw his pass. “I think it was weird to have that weather because it dropped about 32 degrees overnight,” Reeves adds. “The forecast was to stay the same as it was, and when we worked out it was 15 degrees the day before.” But the Cowboys knew conditions had changed when they got their wakeup calls that Sunday morning at the Holiday Inn. The telephone operator told them it was 16 below, and the clerk at the front desk warned of minus 41 with the wind chill. Gil Brandt, then the Cowboys’ player personnel director, noticed three bus drivers standing by a fireplace in the hotel lobby. Each was wearing galoshes, which Brandt referred to as “big boots.” “I said, ‘Where did you get those big boots,’ and they told me a local store. I asked if they could you take me down there, but they said the store was closed on Sundays.”

So Brandt bought a pair of the $9.95 galoshes from one of the drivers for $20. Brandt wasn’t done. He also wore long johns, an overcoat that was kneelength, and a down jacket over the overcoat. He took a stocking cap and cut holes in it for his eyes and ears: “I looked like a hockey goalie out there with a mask on.” The Dallas equipment staff gave each player a salve to rub on to help keep him warm, and put Saran Wrap around their feet because “it kept the heat in your body better,” Brandt recalls. Did all that help? “Not much,” Brandt says. “George Andrie and Jethro Pugh [who died Wednesday] got some frostbite. I don’t think anything prepares you for that kind of weather.” Certainly not back then, when there were no high-tech gloves or formfitting undergarments to help keep warm. The only gloves available were the cotton types, and neither Hall of Fame coach — Green Bay’s Vince Lombardi nor Dallas’ Tom Landry — approved using them. But linebacker Dave Robinson opted for survival rather than obedience. “During the game, Vince Lombardi said he didn’t want us to wear gloves. He didn’t want anyone to miss the ball because of the gloves,” says Robinson, one of 12 Hall of Famers who played in the Ice Bowl. “I told our assistant trainer — he gave me a pair of brown gloves — that they won’t notice. I had them on for running plays. When they snapped the ball right away you could tell run or pass, as I soon as I could tell it [was a pass he would discard the gloves]. … He never caught me.” Packers guard Jerry Kramer, behind whom Starr sneaked for the winning points, grew up in northern Idaho and had hunted ducks at 25 below zero. “So I knew about the cold, I knew how to prepare for the cold, and I knew that the cold wouldn’t kill me,” he says. “But I did put on thermal underwear, cut off the knee and elbow. A wool dickey around the neck and back a little bit, and then I put on gloves. I was able to focus on the game and not focus on the cold.”

Manning: Performance slips in colder conditions Continued from Page B-1 in an AFC divisional playoff game Sunday, he went inside to get warm, softly muttering, “It’s cold out here, huh?” Manning’s numbers tend to dip when the thermometer does. He’s 12-13 in his career when the temperature is 40 degrees or below, according to STATS. This should warm up Manning and Broncos fans, however: Forecasters are calling for a warm-up this week and balmy conditions are expected on game day, with the high in the 40s, maybe a cool breeze and no precipitation. “Peyton is going to go out there and play well,” declared running back C.J. Anderson. “But it takes a team and we have to help him.” Even if a cold front were to suddenly descend upon the city — this is Denver, after all — the Broncos are built for harsher conditions these days. They no longer rely so heavily on Manning’s right arm but on a revamped running game and a dominant defense that features five Pro Bowlers and a couple of notable snubs. “We’ve played in about every scenario that I can think of in my three years here,” tight end Jacob Tamme said. “We’ve had the unbelievably cold

and the absolutely beautiful. We have a team built that can win in any conditions. And that’s what you need right now.” Although Manning’s record is sub.500 in chilly conditions, his overall numbers really aren’t that ghastly. He’s thrown 43 touchdown passes and 27 interceptions while completing 62.6 percent of his passes, according to STATS. His completion percentage since joining the Broncos in 2012 is 67.7. When the wind picks up, though, Manning’s numbers don’t exactly soar. He’s 3-6 with gusts of 20 mph or more and has thrown 11 interceptions and just seven TD passes. His completion percentage is 58.5 percent. But it’s not supposed to be that windy Sunday against the Colts. Kyle Fredin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the latest forecast models have the wind blowing in the 10-to-15 mph range. If that is indeed the case, Manning is 10-11 when the winds are 15 mph or more, with 29 TD passes and 23 interceptions. Since a Nov. 16 loss in St. Louis when Manning threw the ball 54 times, the Broncos have worked on being more balanced. They’ve run the ball 186 times over the last six games and attempted 194 passes.

The Harrell House of Natural Oddities offers visitors a closer look at insects and other creatures

GAMES ‘Stanley Parable’: A game of life? By Tommy Miller

By Isabelle Clinton Generation Next

iant cockroaches roam inside the DeVargas Center in Santa Fe. So does a 4½-foot-long crocodile monitor and other lizards, pythons and creepy crawlers. Don’t worry, though, they all reside in The Harrell House of Natural Oddities within the mall. The Harrell House features both mounted specimens and live critters. On a recent day last month, child visitors squealed with delight at being creeped out by the insects. While some seemed repulsed, others were clearly awed by this display of insect and reptile life. Owner Wade Harrell and Oliver “Ollie” Greer are responsible for the exhibitions, which emphasize education. Harrell and Greer, and the people who work at the museum, enthusiastically show visitors scorpions that glow under ultraviolet lights and let the more daring visitors hold the more harmless insects. Visitors entering the store are greeted on the left by the live specimens from Wade Harrell’s collection: Long-legged tarantulas stare out of glass cages, scorpions crouch under rocks, and the new additions — all from the reptile family — flick their forked tongues. On the right are the mounted insects from Greer’s collection, artfully organized in a variety of cases. There are roughly 100 live species of invertebrates, around 2,400 mounted insects and some lizards. In both collections, you can find insects hailing from the tropics of South America and Africa and the deserts of New Mexico. The most popular live exhibits appear

to be the scorpions, the 9½-inch goliath birdeater spider from Brazil and the fearsomelooking crocodile monitor. Harrell grew up in Virginia, where he first became fascinated with bugs after observing a Hercules beetle in action. To this day, the Hercules beetle is one of his favorite bugs. They are commonly known as vinegaroons — bugs with pinchers that seem larger than their bodies. The vinegaroon’s presence in New Mexico is one of the reasons Harrell moved here from Virginia in the summer of 2011. Harrell and Greer met after Greer spotted the largest emperor scorpion he had ever seen through the window of Harrell’s recently opened kiosk. After Greer asked if he could purchase the scorpion, Harrell in turn recognized Greer as the guy he’d been looking for to help with the business. “My bug collection is my self-expression, and it’s a lot of things interwoven,” Greer said. Before he began work at The Harrell House, Greer was a chef at the now-defunct Ore House restaurant. His interest in bugs was sparked at age 10 after an encounter with a big Pepsis wasp. Later, he looked the bug up in an encyclopedia of insects, and making that connection between the book and the bug got him hooked. Yet his interest in insects is also linked to his fear of them, he said. Greer places the specimens where he feels they fit best. Instead of going by traditional mounting techniques, he opts to overlap the specimens to allow more to fit in a case. He also straightens out the legs and antennas of his specimens to show their full length. The largest specimen in the collection is the Peruvian giant whip spider, which has a leg span of over 2 feet.

One particularly enormous Hercules beetle has an antenna length of 18 inches. One of his prized possessions is an Actias luna moth, which he purchased for $1,000. “I have average sizes of things, and then if a larger one comes along, I don’t even blink,” he said. At least 200 bugs have been donated to The Harrell House by visitors and co-workers. This year there will be around 4,600 specimens added to the collection, resulting in more than 7,000 on hand. Other changes are planned at The Harrell House. The tarantula feedings, currently held at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, might be switched to Friday afternoons because elementary schools close earlier that day and kids enjoy the spectacle. A room in the back will be turned into an aquatic area with mantis shrimp, crabs and lobsters, and to better display the water-dwelling arthropods. The crocodile monitor will be moved into a room of its own. Harrell said he loves insects because, “They’re so diverse, they come in so many different shapes and forms and sizes, and some of them are just so strange. They just seem like aliens that have come to Earth … there’s always more to learn, more to see. There are endless possibilities to explore.” The Harrell House, which opened in June 2013, is in the DeVargas Center on Guadalupe Street. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12. School group visits can be arranged. Visit www.harrellhouse.com or call 695-8569. Isabelle Clinton is a junior at Santa Fe High School. Contact her at IClinton5@gmail.com.

Is The Stanley Parable a game? Or is it something more? Does it even matter? And then again, what does matter? These are the sort of questions that may arise in the heads of players while guiding employee No. 432, Stanley, through the maze that is his office, leading him to discover the true horror or beauty of the world or letting him sit quietly in his office, oblivious to the world around him. Maybe Stanley is destined to discover something more important, but maybe nothing is real — he is dreaming of something other than the daily melancholy that fills his life. Followed by the omnipotent and ubiquitous narrator, the player of The Stanley Parable also has the choice to do whatever he or she pleases. Or maybe they are doing exactly what the game wants them to do. At one point, you may find yourself swimming in a sea of white, wondering if you have broken The Stanley Parable. Asked if you are growing tired of the whiteness, replying “no” leads to punishment, as the game bombards you with questions, asking why you made the choice that got you there, criticizing your lack of originality and individuality, and ultimately posing the question, “Does it all matter?” The game has more than 22 endings, leaving you with hours and hours of time to sink into Stanley’s life. You may end up asking yourself, “What are you looking for?” and that’s exactly what the game wants. But this is your choice, and you wouldn’t be playing the game if you didn’t want to. Wait — what’s that over there? No, I can’t go in there. Because before you know it, Stanley is standing in a broom closet and you’re waiting for something — anything — to happen. It’s that sort of game. If it is a game. Tommy Miller is a junior at Capital High. Contact him at tommymiller321@gmail.com.

School newspaper a lot of work, but worth it

he job of a newspaper editor is daunting because he or she has overall responsibility of the content of the publication. Editors generate ideas, handle problems, select the writers and provide advice and support on editorial matter. It is also the responsibility of the editor to check the facts, grammar and spelling of the articles written for each issue. While editors may receive the overall credit for the publication, they unfortunately bear much of the blame for mistakes or problems. I was not aware of these great responsibilities when I began the school newspaper — The Wildcat Word — at Desert Academy. I spend much of my time designing and formatting each issue. Fortunately, I am not the only creator. Our newspaper is produced with the help of a small but diligent team of writers, cartoonists and students who are willing to help out with photography, crossword puzzles, graphics and editorial content. Our staff members work on their own time and do not receive school credit. We have produced

three issues of our newspaper to date, and as the result of our collective effort, each issue is better than the previous one. During the process of creating the first issue, I quickly learned how much work was involved. First I needed to assemble the staff, assign articles, establish the deadlines and enforce them — the hardest part, believe me — proofread each article and offer editorial suggestions, and find advertisers. Then it was time to place the articles on the pages with photographs, bylines, advertisements and more. Upon completion of the first issue, I began to print all 250 copies on our school copiers and discovered, to my dismay, that three additional hours were needed to fold each copy in order to distribute it. I also learned that advertisers were needed in order to help pay for the professional printing. (Thanks to The New Mexican for printing The Wildcat Word.) To my great relief, the time our staff put into each issue decreased quite a bit with each issue as a result of the knowledge I

gained about the software and editing process — and with the assistance of additional students who were inspired to help. The most exciting part of this project is seeing so many people interested in the paper. At lunch or in between classes, I find a majority of the students have a copy of our paper and are enjoying the cartoons, articles and crossword puzzle. I frequently receive emails from parents at our school who want to advertise in our paper and give us feedback on each issue. I am glad I was oblivious to the reality of the workload before committing to the paper, because I have come to love the job despite the frustration and exhaustion. I would strongly urge anyone interested in starting a school newspaper to build a supportive and enthusiastic staff before proceeding. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without the hardworking students who help me. Juliana Brenner is a sophomore at Desert Academy. Contact her at julianabrenner@gmail.com.

Alfredo Corchado was born in Durango, Mexico, but moved to the United States and lived in California’s Joaquin Valley after his younger sister died in an accident. Corchado basically grew up in between two worlds: his native Mexico and his “adopted homeland” of the United States. Corchado is a journalist who specializes in stories that expose the drug violence that Mexico is experiencing. He writes about controversial topics involving the U.S.-Mexico border, including drug cartels, corruption in the government, organized crime and the spread of these crimes into the U.S. Midnight in Mexico: A Reporter’s Journey Through A Country’s Decent into Darkness is a remarkable book by Corchado that emphasizes his struggles as a journalist seeking to shine light on the unfortunate path Mexico is following — even if it means putting his life on the line. Corchado’s experiences take the reader on an eye-opening journey through the dark side of Mexico. The book opens up with a 2007 phone call from a source who informs Corchado that his life might be in danger. After the source hints it might be the work of a powerful Mexican cartel, he advises Corchado, “Stop pissing them off. Lay off.” It’s something Corchado could not do: He knew that standing up for his native land by exposing wrongdoing was the right thing to do. I had the opportunity to meet Corchado and listen to him speak in September at the Lensic Performing Arts Center as part of the Lannan Foundation reading series. His genuine personality shined through there, as it does in the book. To learn more about Corchado, visit his website, www.alfredo corchado.com.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Low-cost options exist for therapy Dear Annie: My parents are getting divorced after 22 years of marriage, and it seems to be strongly affecting my mother in a terribly negative way. Mom has told me that she has contemplated suicide twice. Once, she even held my brother’s gun to her head. Everyone in the family, including my grandmother, my aunts and even my boyfriend, thinks Mom needs counseling. So how do I suggest it without making her think I’m calling her “crazy”? And another problem is the cost. Mom may refuse to go because it’s too expensive. Do you have any suggestions that may help? — Concerned Daughter Dear Daughter: All mentions of suicide should be taken seriously. You are right that your mother could benefit from professional help, and it doesn’t need to be expensive. Tell her you are worried about her and it might help if she talks to someone about her feelings. Free and low-cost help is available through local churches, graduate school counseling departments, medical school psychology departments, United Way, the YMCA, the YWCA, The Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org), NAMI (nami.org) and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (suicidepreventionhotline. org), and through support groups such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance. org) and Recovery International (lowselfhelpsystems.org). Do a little research on her behalf and make a suggestion, including a website or phone number, so she can get the help she needs. You could even offer to go with her. Dear Annie: We recently hired a young woman at our business. Like many other 20-somethings, she doesn’t understand personal boundaries. May I use your column to give her some advice? Dear Miss New Hire: Welcome to our company. You got the job over five other highly qualified candidates, which means you are both smart and lucky, but you still have a lot to learn. If you work hard here, you can go far. Let me tell you a couple of secrets: You are no longer in college. Standards may have changed, but it is still not acceptable to bring all of your problems into the

office and discuss them at length. Twenty minutes complaining about your roommate is excessive. So is another 20 minutes on your boyfriend’s ex, your sister’s drinking, your mother’s bodily functions and who you slept with last night. Not only are you wasting time, but you are disturbing others. And they will repeat everything you say to everyone they know — including your boss. You would be so much better off asking questions and learning the workflow and the purpose of procedures. You are the only one who can make your career path a good one. Start now. Look down the road to where you want to be. If your path continues as it is, I give you six months here. — W.A. Dear W.A.: Thank you for your honesty. Over-sharing is common, and not only with 20-somethings. Too many people display their entire lives in front of the world and believe this is normal and acceptable. They do not understand the concept of privacy. We hope it will make a comeback soon. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to the letter from “Ventura, Calif.,” who questioned whether alcoholism is a disease. As a 33-year recovering alcoholic, I have better knowledge about this than self-righteous folks with superior attitudes. There is no question that alcoholism is a disease. Only a fool would say it is a choice. The afflicted person has a discernible difference in the brain that results in a disproportionately pleasant response to alcohol. And whenever anyone chooses to have a drink, it is for the same reason an alcoholic does: to change the way they feel at that moment. Otherwise, a glass of water would do just as well. — Anonymous Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Today in history Today is Friday, Jan. 9, the ninth day of 2015. There are 356 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 9, 1945, during World War II, American forces began landing on the shores of Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines as the Battle of Luzon got underway, resulting in an Allied victory over Imperial Japanese forces.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance once more. If you can take off for a day trip, by all means, do. Tonight: Let your feelings lead the way.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will see a personal matter differently after you have a chat with a key person. Pressure could force you to look for an unusual answer. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could wake up feeling as if you have not a care in the world. You certainly seem to be wearing a pair of rose-colored glasses. See where your optimism takes you. Tonight: Let the party begin! Jacqueline Bigar
