GM faces criminal probe for recall delay

SFPS adopts new plan to re-engage students who quit

Newcomers, veterans eye House seats

By Bill Vlasic and Ben Protess The New York Times

The Justice Department has begun a criminal investigation into the decadelong failure by General Motors to address deadly safety problems in some of its cars before announcing a massive recall last month, according to a person briefed on the matter.

The preliminary inquiry by federal prosecutors in New York is expected to center on whether GM, the nation’s largest automaker, failed to comply with laws requiring timely disclosure of vehicle defects.

The action is the latest in a widening series of investigations of GM’s handling of faulty ignition switches in its Chevrolet Cobalt sedan and other cars that the company says are linked to 31 accidents and 13 deaths.

On Tuesday, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said he would ask Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., to hold hearings on a panel that oversees consumer product safety. The hearings are expected to begin within weeks, a spokesman for Rockefeller said.

A House committee on Monday said it would conduct its own investigation and hearings into events leading to GM’s recall of 1.6 million vehicles,

truggling with one of the state’s lowest high school graduation rates, Santa Fe Public Schools is turning to a private company in hopes of enticing dropouts back to school to earn their diplomas.

The district’s new Engage Santa Fe program has hired Atlantic Education Partners, a private educational support firm headquartered in Florida, to recruit dropouts back into the fold starting next semester.

The firm will use state money to pay for the program. In New Mexico, public school funding follows the students, with each student in Santa Fe Public Schools generating about $6,700. That money will go directly to Atlantic Education Partners, providing what Superintendent Joel Boyd calls a “neutral” budget item, in which the district neither benefits financially or pays for the Engage program.

Students will attend classes at a site separate from the existing high schools, taking courses at their own pace, until they earn enough credits to graduate. In some cases, that could mean taking one class a semester. The site will be manned 13 hours a day by teachers working in two shifts based on student needs. Company officials expect students to split their time between learning online and in the classroom.

Each participating student will receive an Amazon Kindle.

Atlantic Education Partners will hire and train local recruiters to track down dropouts, using district data to find their last known addresses. The recruiters also will call on local youth organizations and faith-based groups, among other resources. The goal is to attract 75 to 100 dropouts sometime between the middle and the end of the fall 2014 school semester.

Pope’s Franciscans kickstart fundraiser Online event hopes to raise funds to restore cell of St. Francis

By Nicole Winfield The Associated Press

ROME — Pope Francis’ namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, founded his order of mendicant friars in the 13th century after receiving a calling from God to “rebuild my church.”

Some 800 years later, St. Francis’ followers are rebuilding his church in the ancient tradition of door-to-door begging that St. Francis championed — but with a very modern twist.

With interest in things Franciscan at an all-time high, the friars who run the San Francesco a Ripa church in Rome’s Trastevere neighborhood launched a Kickstarter online fundraising campaign Tuesday to try to raise $125,000 for the restoration of the tiny cell where St. Francis stayed when he came to Rome to see the pope, The Associated Press has learned.

Rather than ask for funding from

the Italian government, which owns the church and is responsible for its upkeep, the friars decided on this more democratic crowd-funding initiative, thinking it more in keeping with the Franciscan tradition of seeking alms for just what they need, spreading the faith as they beg and making sure the poor are the priority.

“It seemed important to us, very Franciscan even, to say that today perhaps public money should be destined to more urgent things, more important things like social issues that are affecting Italy and Europe at large,” said the Rev. Stefano Tamburo, the 43-year-old guardian of the sanctuary. “So like the friars in the past would go asking for a piece of bread, today we are going to ask for a dollar, a euro, so we can make this place as it was in the time of St. Francis.”

Kickstarter is one of dozens of crowd-funding websites that have sprung up in recent years to let people raise money for specific projects, with the catch being that the money is returned to donors if the target isn’t met in a certain time frame.

St. Francis proposed a radically

In brief

Two key senators agree on Fannie-Freddie overhaul WASHINGTON — A plan to phase out government-controlled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and instead use mainly private insurers to backstop home loans has advanced in Congress.

The agreement by two key senators and a White House endorsement sent shares of Fannie and Freddie sinking Tuesday. Fannie stock fell $1.79, or more than 30 percent, to $4.03. Freddie dropped $1.48, or 26.8 percent, to $4.04.

The plan by Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., chairman of the Banking Committee, and Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, its senior Republican, would create a new government insurance fund. Investors would pay fees in exchange for insurance on mortgage securities they buy.

The government would become a last-resort loan guarantor.

President Barack Obama proposed an overhaul of Fannie and Freddie last year, but Congress has struggled to craft legislation. The government rescued the two mortgage giants at the height of the financial crisis in September 2008 with a $187 billion bailout, which they have repaid.

Former Christie aides seek to quash subpoenas TRENTON, N.J. — It’s now up to a judge whether two key figures in a political payback scandal ensnaring Gov. Chris Christie’s administration will have to turn over text messages and other private communications to New Jersey lawmakers investigating the case.

Fired Christie staffer Bridget Kelly and two-time campaign manager Bill Stepien risk self-incrimination if they comply with the subpoenas for documents related to the traffic tie-ups at the George Washington Bridge, their lawyers told a county judge.

A lawyer for the panel countered that the law does not entitle them to the blanket protection they seek. Rather, any documents deemed potentially incriminating by Kelly and Stepien should be argued on a case-by-case basis, the lawyer said.

He said the Kickstarter campaign is a way of continuing that tradition and seems in line with the type of church Pope Francis is seeking today: He has asked his priests to live simpler lives, close to their flocks while opening their hearts and homes to the poor. “It’s getting back to what they see as the core” of Jesus’ message, he said of both Francis the saint and Francis the pope.

While the highly unusual decision gives Brig.

His lawyers said it could take weeks to finalize an agreement.

CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. — Republican David Jolly is the winner of a hard-fought congressional election in Florida to replace the late Rep. Bill Young.

WASHINGTON — Would Parmesan by any other name be as tasty atop your pasta? A ripening trade battle might put that to the test. As part of trade talks, the European Union wants to ban names like Parmesan, feta and Gorgonzola on cheese made in the United States.

The argument is that the American-made cheeses are shadows of the original European varieties and cut into sales and identity of the European cheeses. The Europeans say Parmesan should only come from Parma, Italy, not those familiar green cylinders that American companies sell. Feta should only be from Greece, even though feta isn’t a place.

U.S. dairy producers, cheesemakers and food companies are all fighting the idea, which they say would hurt the $4 billion domestic cheese industry and endlessly confuse consumers.

“It’s really stunning that the Europeans are trying to claw back products made popular in other countries,” says Jim Mulhern, president of the National Milk Producers Federation, which represents U.S. dairy farmers.

The European Union would not say exactly what it is proposing or even whether it will be discussed this week as a new round of talks on an EU-United States free trade agreement opens in Brussels.

Though they have not laid out a public proposal, the EU is expected to make similar attempts to restrict marketing of U.S.-made cheeses, possibly including Parmesan, Asiago, Gorgonzola, feta, fontina, grana, Muenster, Neufchatel and Romano.

And it may not be just cheese.

Other products could include bologna, Black Forest ham, Greek yogurt, Valencia oranges and prosciutto, among other foods.

Concerned about the possible impact of changing the label on those popular foods, a bipartisan group of 55 senators wrote U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack this week asking them not to agree to any such proposals by the EU. Jaime Castaneda works for the U.S. Dairy Export Council and is the director of a group formed to fight the EU changes. He says the idea that only great cheese can come from Europe “is just not the case anymore.” He points out that locally produced foods are more popular than ever here and says some consumers may actually prefer the American brands. European producers can still lay claim to more place-specific names, like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

“This is about rural America and jobs,” he said.

MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT MH370

Missing jet changed course Two passengers with fake passports are Iranians with no ties to terrorist groups

By Eileen Ng

The Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The missing Boeing 777 jetliner changed course over the sea, crossed Malaysia and reached the Strait of Malacca — hundreds of miles from its last position recorded by civilian authorities, Malaysian military officials said Tuesday, citing military radar data.

The development added confusion and mystery into one of most puzzling aviation incidents of recent time, and it has raised questions about why the Malaysia Airlines flight apparently was not transmitting signals detectable by civilian radar, why its crew was silent about the course change and why no distress calls were sent after it turned back.

Many experts have been working on the assumption there was a catastrophic event on the flight — such as an explosion, engine failure, terrorist attack, extreme turbulence, pilot error or even suicide. The director of the CIA said in Washington that he still would not rule out terrorism.

Flight MH370, carrying 239 people, took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12:41 a.m. Saturday, bound for Beijing. Authorities initially said its last contact with ground controllers was less than an hour into the flight at a height of 35,000 feet, when the plane was somewhere between the east coast of Malaysia and Vietnam.

But local newspaper Berita Harian quoted Malaysia’s air force chief, Gen. Rodzali Daud, as saying that radar at a military base had tracked the jet as it changed its course, with the final signal at 2:40 a.m. showing the plane to be near Pulau Perak at the northern approach to the Strait of Malacca, a busy waterway that separates the western coast of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Sumatra island.

It was flying slightly lower, at around 29,528 feet, he said.

“After that, the signal from the plane was lost,” he was quoted as saying.

A high-ranking military official involved in the investigation confirmed the report.

A woman takes a photo of a screen displaying the number of hours since a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet had gone missing at a mall in Beijing on Tuesday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose sensitive information.

Authorities had said earlier the plane may have tried to turn back to Kuala Lumpur.

The search was initially focused hundreds of miles to the east, in waters off Vietnam, with more than 40 planes and ships from at least 10 nations searching the area without finding a trace of the missing aircraft.

Earlier Tuesday, Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that search-and-rescue teams had expanded their scope to the Strait of Malacca. An earlier statement said the western coast of Malaysia was “now the focus,” but the airline subsequently said that phrase was an oversight. It didn’t elaborate.

Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the search remained “on both sides” of Malaysia.

Attention will now likely focus on the condition of the Boeing 777’s electronic systems as it charted its new course back toward and then across Malaysia.

A radar antenna on the ground sends electromagnetic waves that reflect from the surface of an aircraft and almost instantly return, allowing controllers to calculate how far away a plane is. The antenna is mounted on a rotating platform, sending and receiving signals 360 degrees across the sky, enabling the plane’s direction to be tracked by constant sweeps.

The system has limitations: Military and civilian air traffic controllers know something is moving through the air but might

not know what it is. So planes were outfitted with transponders that can send a unique signal back to the radar station, which can differentiate them from other aircraft. From this signal, controllers can tell the flight number, heading, speed and altitude.

While radar black spots can exist, experts said the plane’s transponders normally would have been emitting signals that would have been picked up by civilian radar. The fact that it apparently wasn’t detected suggests they were either disabled or switched off. Planes with no transponders can still be tracked by radar.

Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar, who has been ordered to look at possible criminal aspects in the disappearance of Flight MH370, said hijacking, sabotage and issues related to the pilots’ psychological health were all being considered.

Also Tuesday, Malaysian and international police authorities said two people who boarded Flight MH370 with stolen passports were Iranians who had bought tickets to Europe, where they planning to migrate. Their presence on the flight had raised speculation of a possible terrorist link.

Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said investigators had determined one was a 19-year-old Iranian, Pouria Nourmohammadi Mehrdad. “We believe he is not likely to be a member of any terrorist group,” Khalid said.

Interpol identified the second man as Seyed Mohammed Reza Delavar, a 29-yearold Iranian, and released an image of the two boarding at the same time. Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said the two men traveled to Malaysia on their Iranian passports, then apparently switched to their stolen Austrian and Italian documents.

CIA Director John Brennan said in Washington that Malaysian authorities “are looking very carefully at what went wrong; you know, if these individuals got onto the plane with these stolen passports, why they were not aware of it.”

He also said there has been “a lot of speculation right now — some claims of responsibility that have not been, you know, confirmed or corroborated at all. We are looking at it very carefully.”

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya’s parliament ousted Westernbacked prime minister Ali Zidan in a Tuesday vote, removing the first democratically chosen leader who had struggled for 15 months to stem the country’s spiraling descent into chaos, with divisive political power struggles and rampant militias out of the control of the weak central government.

The government has been paralyzed for months by the power struggle between Islamists trying to remove Zidan and anti-Islamist political factions — each side backed by rival militias.

Zidan’s removal came as another fault line in the country was rumbling between the central government and the restive eastern half of the country, where many are

demanding greater autonomy, with each side again backed by their own militias.

On Tuesday, a militia from the western city of Misrata clashed with a rival eastern militia outside of Sirte, on a drive to take control of the oil terminal of al-Sidra, further east along the coast.

The eastern, pro-autonomy militia, headed by a commander named Ibrahim Jedran, has controlled al-Sidra and other oil facilities for months in defiance of the central government, shutting down exports of the country’s biggest revenue earner. This week, Jedran’s militia sought to export oil itself, with a North Korean-flagged tanker docked at one of the ports.

Zidan was Libya’s first prime minister chosen by an elected parliament after the 2011 revolt that removed and killed longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

Martinez signs capital outlay bill $89 million set aside for water projects

By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

The city of Las Vegas, N.M., will get funding to expand one of its reservoirs as part of a capital outlay bill signed Tuesday

by Gov. Susana Martinez that commits $89 million to beef up water supplies, repair dams and fix acequias around the state.

The bill also provides money to buy new firetrucks, repair school buildings and fix roads.

Las Vegas officials say

expanding Bradner Reservoir is vital for the chronically water-strapped city, which came within six weeks of running out of water in 2011. The city provides water to 18,000 customers, including New Mexico Highlands University and a regional hospital. Most of the city’s water comes from the Gallinas River, with water stored at Peterson and Bradner reservoirs. But Bradner can only store about 300 acre-feet of water, and the dam at Peterson has leaked like a sieve for years. (One acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons.)

The capital outlay bill signed

by Martinez includes $10 million to design, construct and expand Bradner dam so the reservoir can store up to 2,300 acre-feet of water. The city asked for $16 million.

Other projects funded through the capital outlay bill: u $282,000 to design and build water improvements for the Eldorado Area Water and Sanitation District south of Santa Fe. u $6.2 million for watershed restoration improvements, including forest thinning statewide. u $150,000 to plan and design a watershed education

center in Pecos. u $1.9 million to design, build and expand a wastewater system in Pecos along N.M. 63 and Rincon Road. u $1.6 million to improve the Santa Cruz regional water association system in Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties. u $8 million for a new wastewater treatment plant in Chama. u $2.1 million to the Office of the State Engineer to purchase and install water meters statewide.

Martinez said investing in water infrastructure is vital to helping the state’s economy.

Budget: Raises for some workers vetoed Continued from Page A-1 the partisan fight.

Martinez trimmed $27 million in spending, including $15 million for programs for at-risk children that she says isn’t needed until next year, when the programs it would support take effect. She also vetoed $2.4 million that would have provided 8 percent pay raises for judges and district attorneys and 3 percent raises for appointed government employees. Martinez did retain money for 3 percent pay raises for other state employees, including those at public schools.

She also vetoed provisions that would have required her budget office to confer with the Legislative Finance Committee to fix future budget deficits, that would have made reports to legislative committees a requirement for the Public Education Department to get funding for a teacher evaluation program and that would have restricted the Human Services Department from entering into contracts without legislative approval. Increased legislative oversight of the Homeland Security Department and Higher Education Department also were vetoed.

Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, who chairs the Legislative Finance Committee, said that by limiting legislative oversight of agencies, the governor is setting the stage for the Legislature to invoke subpoena powers to obtain information about those agencies.

While Martinez, a Republican, hailed the spending plan as a compromise between GOP lawmakers and Democratic legislators, Varela said the balance struck in the Legislature had been compromised by the governor’s vetoes.

“I’m thankful that the early gridlock in the budget process eventually gave way to compromise and a willingness to find common ground,” the governor said, referring to the partisan stalemate

that had threatened to stall the budget in the House of Representatives before the Senate intervened with a middle-ground plan.

The budget debate boiled down to a turf war. Its thorniest moments centered on whether the Public Education Department, led by Martinez’s controversial Cabinet Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera, should have spending authority over millions of dollars to enact reforms such as merit pay for teachers and teacher evaluations. Democrats preferred to put that money in the hands of school districts.

In the end, the Public Education Department got the money, but school districts were afforded the option to take part in the reforms or not.

The tug of war for authority between the Legislature and the governor’s administration continued with the governor’s vetoes.

By vetoing language that would have strengthened legislative oversight of state agencies, the governor said she was guarding against legislative overreach “that enacts overly restrictive reporting requirements on the executive branch.”

Varela said that if state agencies under the governor’s administration are not willing to hand over the information that the Legislature needs, lawmakers will turn to the courts to invoke subpoena power to compel openness from the departments.

“The fact that [Martinez] does not allow us to work with her in terms of transparency and oversight tells me that we may have to use other means of being able to force accountability,” Varela said. “Take a look at the Public Education Department. Take a look at the Higher Education Department. Take a look at the Children, Youth and Families Department. How can we tell if they’re doing their jobs without some oversight?

Where’s the protection for our kids?”

Martinez also vetoed geographically specific earmarked spending throughout the budget. Among the items were $140,000 for the city of Santa Fe’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program, $25,000 for advertising the Santa Fe Indian Market and $25,000 for advertising the Santa Fe Spanish Market, $100,000 for a microgrid project at Santa Fe Community College and $161,900 for an integrated basic education and skills training program at the community college.

“Many of my partial vetoes are due to the concerning, continuing efforts by some legislators to insert earmarks into general appropriations acts,” the governor said.

Martinez touted portions of the budget she didn’t veto.

Beginning teachers’ annual salaries were raised in the budget to $32,000 from $30,000. But Martinez vetoed provisions in the budget that would have raised base salaries for more experienced teachers to $42,000 from $40,000 and to $52,000 from $50,000.

Spending on public schools during fiscal year 2015 will increase by $147.7 million — a 5.75 percent increase — over the current year. Overall spending on public schools in the budget Martinez approved is $2.7 billion, 44 percent of the total budget.

Martinez spotlighted the budget’s commitment to health care. It provides for anticipated expansion of Medicaid enrollment by 205,000 people and more than $3 million for growing the number of primary care providers and medical services in parts of the state where care is not keeping pace with patient demand.

Spending reductions associated with the governor’s vetoes lifted the budget’s reserve level from 7 percent in the current year to almost 7.5 percent. Overall, the budget grew by $278 million — 4.7 percent — over the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.

Probe: NHTSA, lawmakers seek answers Continued from Page A-1 and sent letters demanding extensive records to the company and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The NHTSA is also investigating GM’s actions since the company first learned of possible defects in its ignition systems in 2004. And GM has hired outside lawyers to lead its own internal review of why it failed to fix or replace switches tied to a mounting toll of fatal accidents.

It is rare but not unprecedented for the Justice Department to consider criminal charges against an auto company for how it handles recalls.

The department, for example, is currently in discussions with Toyota about settling a four-year criminal investigation into how the Japanese

automaker disclosed complaints related to unintended acceleration of its vehicles.

The GM inquiry, while still in its early stages, reflects the escalating reaction among government officials to the company’s admission to NHTSA on Feb. 24 that it knew of problems with ignition switches at various times over the past 10 years, but never moved to fix or replace the parts.

When asked on Tuesday about the criminal inquiry, a GM spokesman, Greg Martin, declined to comment. Bloomberg first reported the investigation.

One safety advocate said the Justice Department investigation is likely to center on whether GM withheld information from government regulators in violation of a criminal penalty provision of

the Safety Act. “It’s high time for the Justice Department to conduct criminal investigations of automakers who conceal defects and people die,” said Clarence Ditlow, head of the Center for Auto Safety in Washington.

Ditlow said the inquiry would likely parallel a special order by NHTSA demanding that GM answer 107 detailed questions about its internal actions and the people involved.

“To impose the criminal penalties, Justice has to find who did the criminal act,” Ditlow said. “NHTSA’s Special Order has multiple questions on who the individuals were in the various acts that resulted in a 10-year delay.”

A House committee is also stepping up pressure on GM to disclose records and docu-

ments related to the ignition switches.

Letters signed by Republican and Democratic leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee were sent Monday night to GM’s chief executive, Mary T. Barra, and David Friedman, the acting head of NHTSA. In the letters, the committee called for all records of consumer complaints, field reports and reports of deaths, injuries or property damage.

The committee also said it wanted “a detailed timeline of interactions and communications between GM and NHTSA related to stalls, air bags and/or ignition switches in the GM vehicles subject to recall.”

The letters gave the company and the agency until March 25 to reply.

Eye: All 70 House seats are up for grabs Continued from Page A-1 All 70 seats in the state House of Representatives are up for election this year.

Democrats now control the House 37-33. Races for about 10 seats this fall will be hardfought, and they will decide which party will be in charge of that chamber. None of the 42 seats in the state Senate, where Democrats also have a majority, are up for election this year.

Speaker Martinez, D-Grants, is among a number of longtime legislators who will face a challenger in the June primary election. His opponent is Nicole Shult, 29, of Bluewater in Cibola County.

Salazar, 84, first elected to the House in 1972 and one of the longest-serving state legislators in the country, also has a challenger in the Democratic primary. He will face former state Rep. Bengie Regensberg, who served from 2001 to 2005 before losing his seat.

Regensberg, of Cleveland in Mora County, also ran against Salazar in the primary two years ago. Regensberg said he believed the northern portion of Salazar’s district, which includes parts of Colfax, Mora, Rio Arriba and San Miguel counties, has been ignored by the incumbent.

“I feel we need a change.

He’s been a member of the House almost as long as I’ve been alive,” Regensberg, 46, said in a phone interview.

Salazar could not be reached for comment. Several legislators had predicted he would retire, and Regensberg said he was surprised Salazar was running again.

Republican James R. Gallegos, a retired school superintendent from Cimarron, will face the winner of the primary contest between Salazar and Regensberg.

Mendez, 33, a former Marine and a combat veteran, worked briefly this year as a member of the security team at the Capitol. Then Rep. Debbie Rodella filed for a restraining order against him. Rodella, D-Española, said Mendez tried to intimidate her during a committee meeting.

Her husband, the Rio Arriba County sheriff, had fired Mendez from his job as a deputy.

In an interview Tuesday, Mendez said he had lost his certification as a police officer. He said he was working construction jobs. “I’m also going back to school and I’m a full-time father,” he said in an interview.

Mendez said losing a temporary job during the legislative session because of Rodella’s complaint did not motivate him to run for the House. A Democrat, Mendez is challenging Rep. Carl Trujillo of Santa Fe in the primary. Rather, Mendez said, he is running to be an agent for change and to root out corruption in government.

One veteran lawmaker, Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, D-Santa Fe, drew no opponent, but he said Tuesday that the coming term will be his last in the Legislature. Varela has served in the House for 28 years.

He said he decided to stay for another term because of an exodus of lawmakers this year. Ten of the 70 members announced their retirements before filing day.

Republicans have not held

the majority in the House since 1953, when they led 28-27.

Republicans hope to pick up a seat held by first-term Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard, D-Los Alamos. Two Republicans from Los Alamos are running for the right to face her in the November general election. They are County Council member Geoff Rodgers and former council member Vincent Chiravalle.

The GOP also hopes to take back a seat in Southern New Mexico being vacated by retiring Rep. Nate Cote, D-Organ.

Former state Rep. Ricky Little of Chaparral is the Republican candidate. Mariaelena Johnson, who led a voter registration drive on the Mexican border, is the Democratic candidate.

Another former lawmaker trying for a comeback is Richard Vigil, a Democrat from Ribera. He is running in the primary against Tomas Salazar, who unseated Vigil two years ago.

Democrats have targeted a handful of Republican incumbents they consider beatable.

One is Rep. Terry McMillan, a physician from Las Cruces.

He defeated Democrat Joanne Ferrary two years ago by only eight votes in a race that brought nearly 13,000 people to the polls. Ferrary is challenging him again.

Republican Rep. Paul Pacheco, a retired Albuquerque police officer who won a close race two years ago, has a new challenger. Catherine A. Begaye, a former public defender now in private law practice, said she was motivated to run because of childabuse cases and the state’s handling of them.

“I bring real-world experience,” said Begaye, 37. “I’m running for the children of New Mexico.”

Pacheco has twice carried Gov. Susana Martinez’s bill to repeal a 2003 law that enables people without proof of immigration status to obtain a New Mexico driver’s license.

Pacheco said he tried to get the bill approved so the state could become compliant with the federal Real ID Act. House Speaker Martinez was among many Democrats who fought Pacheco’s bill, saying it would take away driver’s licenses from lawful immigrants.

Another one-term Republican who is facing a challenge is Rep. Kelly Fajardo of Belen, who last month skipped a high-profile vote on raising the state minimum wage.

Two Democrats filed and will run in the primary for the right to compete against Fajardo. One is former state Rep. Andrew Barreras. Fajardo defeated him in 2012. The other Democrat in the race is a physician from Los Lunas, Teresa K.E. Smith De Cherif.

For Republicans to gain control of the House, they would need a net gain of three seats. They added one Santa Fe-area seat to their column this year through a gubernatorial appointment that went to Republican Vickie Perea.

Gov. Martinez chose Perea for the District 50 seat after the death last summer of Democratic Rep. Stephen Easley of Eldorado.

Democrat Matthew McQueen of Lamy, an admirer of Easley’s, filed to run against Perea.

Dropouts: Program one of five starting around the U.S. this year Continued from Page A-1 approve the plan. Board member Glenn Wikle cast the dissenting vote, calling it another example of the privatization of public schools, wherein state money goes to an out-of-state entity.

Boyd previously worked in Florida’s public school system with Joseph Wise, founder of Atlantic Education Partners, and later appointed Wise as an unpaid member of his transition team in the early months of his superintendency.

He told the board Tuesday that he stayed out of the request-for-proposals process for this project and did not offer a recommendation in the selection.

Speaking by phone last week, Wise said Atlantic Education Partners can find “kids who dropped out and get them to ‘drop back in’ ” while the dis-

trict focuses on “keeping who may drop out in school.”

Engage Santa Fe is one of five programs Atlantic Education Partners is starting around the United States this year, including one in Chicago, Wise said. He said the programs will work for a lot of students who are overwhelmed with the idea of returning to school full time.

“When they come back and educators say, ‘Here’s seven courses, here’s all the books, get going,’ a lot of students can’t chew that,” he said.

In Santa Fe, the initiative will aim to re-engage those who are still young enough to earn state funding and get a degree by age 21. Boyd and Wise say teens between the ages of 16 and 19 will mostly make up that group, but it’s possible that a 20-year-old who has to earn

just a few credits could participate.

Since coming on board in the summer of 2012, Boyd has initiated a number of plans to increase the district’s stagnant graduation rate, which hovers around 60 percent. The state average is 70 percent.

Santa Fe ranks in the bottom 10 of the state’s 89 public school districts.

The district already has set up a transition facility designed to reconnect students who have been expelled. Boyd plans to open a Twilight School next year, which will operate in the late afternoon and early evening at both Capital High School and Santa Fe High, to offer students more flexible hours in which to learn.

The Engage Santa Fe program, Boyd explained, will be set up more like a professional business environment than

as a school. “What we know is that if it has the look and the feel of a school, that’s the very type of environment that these youngsters withdrew from already,” he said on Sunday.

One such youngster is 17-year-old Myron Sanchez, who said he dropped out of Santa Fe High School two years ago and then returned again last semester, only to drop out a second time because, by his own admission, he did not apply himself and was smoking too much marijuana. “I just kind of did my own thing,” he said.

Sanchez said Engage Santa Fe appeals to him because “it can be taken at my own pace. If I need to go slow, I can go slow, a one-class-at-a-time type deal.”

He said he prefers a diploma to a GED certificate, and he plans to work as an auto mechanic.

Several districts around the country have attempted similar programs on their own, including Orangeburg Consolidated School District Five in South Carolina. There, Superintendent Cynthia Wilson initiated a “Reach Out For Drop Outs” program in 2012, in which she and other district staff volunteered their time on Saturdays to track down dropouts and entice them back to school.

According to Bill Clark, public relations director for that district of some 7,000 students, the program has proved to be somewhat successful and has not cost the district any additional money. Two years ago, he said, the effort drew 10 kids back into school, with all but one eventually graduating.

He did not have updated numbers for last year’s program.

UN: 5.5 million Syrian children affected by war

By Ryan Lucas

The Associated Press

BEIRUT — The number of Syrian children affected by the civil war in their homeland has doubled in the past year to at least 5.5 million — more than half the country’s children — with devastating effects on the health, education and psychological well-being of an entire generation, the United Nations children’s agency said Tuesday.

The conflict, which enters its fourth year this month, has unleashed massive suffering across all segments of Syrian society, but the impact on children has been especially acute, according to a new report by UNICEF. Malnutrition and illness have stunted their growth; a lack of learning opportunities has derailed their education; and the bloody trauma of war has left deep psychological scars.

“After three years of conflict and turmoil, Syria is now one of the most dangerous places on earth to be a child,” the agency said. “In their thousands, children have lost lives and limbs, along with virtually every aspect of their childhood. They have lost classrooms and teachers, brothers and sisters, friends, caregivers, homes and stability.”

“Millions of young people risk becoming, in effect, a lost generation,” UNICEF said.

Since the conflict began, thousands of videos and photographs of bloodied babies,

lifeless children and bombed out schools in Syria have provided stark images of the war’s impact on children. But in many ways, figures provide perhaps the clearest indication of how sweeping an effect the conflict has on their lives.

UNICEF said that more than 10,000 children have been killed in the violence, which would translate into the highest casualty rates recorded in any recent conflict in the region. Of those

who have survived, thousands have been wounded, lost their home and schools, and seen family members and friends killed. That trauma has left around 2 million children in need of psychological support or treatment, the agency said.

Almost 3 million children are displaced inside Syria, while another 1.2 million have fled the country and now live as refugees in camps and overwhelmed neighboring communities where

clean water, food and other basic items are scarce.

On the education front, UNICEF said that nearly half of Syria’s school-age children — 2.8 million and counting — cannot get an education because of the devastation and violence.

More than 2 million of those who should be in classes remain within Syria’s borders, as education and health services collapse and classrooms are bombed or used as shelters and military

barracks. Another 300,000 Syrian children are out of school in Lebanon, along with some 93,000 in Jordan, 78,000 in Turkey, 26,000 in Iraq and 4,000 in Egypt, agency officials said in Geneva.

Many are forced to grow up fast: One in 10 refugee children is now working, the agency estimates, while one in five Syrian girls in Jordan is forced into early marriage. Inside Syria, boys as young as 12 have been recruited to help the rebels, some as fighters and others in a support role, the U.N. report said.

Syria’s conflict began in March 2011 with largely peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad. Facing a brutal government crackdown, protesters eventually took up arms and the country descended into a civil war that has killed more than 140,000 people so far.

Two rounds of peace talks in Switzerland early this year between Assad’s government and Syria’s main Westernbacked political opposition group broke up without making any progress, and there are no immediate plans for another session.

On the ground, meanwhile, the fighting has shown no sign of slowing down.

On Tuesday, three suicide bombers blew themselves up in a local administration building in the Kurdish town of Qamishli in northeast Syria, killing at least five people, state media and a

Kurdish official said.

The state news agency said the blasts at the Hadaya Hotel killed five people, but a Kurdish official at the scene said at least seven people died, including four women.

The hotel in the center of Qamishli has functioned as a municipality building, Joan Mohammed told The Associated Press. The area has been the scene of heavy fighting recently between Kurdish gunmen and members of the al-Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Mohammed said several people wearing explosive belts and firearms killed the guards outside the building, walked in and hurled grenades before blowing themselves up. One of them was caught before he detonated his belt and was being questioned.

He said the dead included two employees and two visitors. He added that 15 were wounded.

“The building is in the center of the town and is usually very crowded,” said Mohammad, adding that Kurdish fighters in the area were “on high alert” following the attack.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but suspicion immediately fell on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Militants from the group have been fighting Kurdish gunmen for months in northern Syria in battles that left hundreds of people dead.

nan distributed to the CIA workforce on Tuesday raised questions about Feinstein’s claims and her awareness of how and when the committee obtained the files.

The letter, which Brennan sent to Feinstein on Jan. 27 and which was attached to a message he sent the workforce, recounts a meeting they had weeks earlier to discuss the matter. During that meeting, Feinstein said she didn’t know that the committee already had copies of the Panetta review.

Brennan pushed her to explain why the panel had recently requested the files when they were already in its possession.

“You informed me that you were not aware that the committee staff already had access to the materials you had requested,” Brennan wrote, according to a copy obtained by The Washington Post. Brennan urged Feinstein to work with the agency to determine how the committee had obtained the files, a request she ultimately rejected, officials said.

If the target isn’t met, the immediate fallout will be political. Republicans will say it proves their point that Obama’s signature project never had the public’s support.

Backers of the law will have to work harder to smooth out some of its problems and convince Americans to take a second look.

“Given what we know about past enrollment patterns for health care, we expect that even more [people] will sign up as we approach the March 31 deadline,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

COMMENTARY: ROSS DOUTHAT

No favorites for GOP nomination T his is a season of possibility for Republican politicians. Their party is poised to do well in November. Their Democratic opponents are stuck in neutral — waiting for Hillary, praying for “Obamacare.” And thanks to a few strategically placed traffic cones, there is no frontrunner for the GOP nomination in 2016, which means that more prominent Republicans than usual are dreaming the presidential dream.

Quite a few of them brought those dreams to the just-concluded Conservative Political Action Conference, jostling for the attention of activists, chasing cameras or being chased by them, trading compliments and subtle digs. A few, like the still-in-damage-control Chris Christie, were just there to pay their respects. But most were trying to ace CPAC’s big audition, and prove that they could play the One True Conservative in the 2016 race.

The question is whether that role will actually exist.

We’re accustomed to a narrative of Republican politics that pits the tea party against the establishment, the right against the center right. But that has always been an oversimplification, and in a wideopen presidential campaign, it’s likely to fit political reality more poorly than usual.

A better framework is suggested by Henry Olsen, writing in The National Interest, who argues that Republican presidential campaigns are usually defined by four factions rather than two. One faction is centrist (think John McCain’s 2000 supporters, or Jon Huntsman’s rather smaller 2012 support), one is moderately conservative (think the typical Mitt Romney or Bob Dole voter), one is socially conservative (think Mike Huckabee or Rick Santorum backers), and one is very conservative but more secular (think Gingrich voters last time, or Steve Forbes voters much further back).

The moderately conservative faction holds the balance of power, which is why the party usually flirts with

OUR VIEW

Engaging dropouts, one at a time

C ideologues but settles down with a safer, establishmentendorsed choice. But different campaigns take very different paths to this result.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan basically worked from the right to the center, consolidating secular and religious conservatives and then wooing enough moderate conservatives to win.

In 1996, Bob Dole relied on moderate conservatives to fend off a centrist (Lamar Alexander), a social conservative (Pat Buchanan) and a secular conservative (Forbes).

In 2000, George W. Bush used support from moderate conservatives and religious conservatives to defeat both McCain’s centrist insurgency and Forbes’ lesser challenge from the right.

In 2008, McCain combined his original centrist base with enough moderate conservatives to win the nomination — a trick Romney basically imitated in 2012.

Before the traffic problems in Fort Lee, Christie seemed poised to follow in Romney’s and McCain’s footsteps, uniting moderates and moderate conservatives and then trying to outlast whichever challengers emerged from the religious and nonreligious right.

But with Christie weakened, there are suddenly almost as

many paths as there are plausible candidates.

The New Jersey governor could still follow McCain’s 2008 path to victory, but he could also be marginalized, Huntsman-style, as a “centrists only” candidate — especially if a Scott Walker, a Paul Ryan or a Jeb Bush consolidated the support of moderate conservatives.

Then there’s the potential Ted Cruz coalition, which could look like Reagan redux: secular conservatives plus religious conservatives to start, and then just enough moderate conservatives to win. But Cruz would need to consolidate the religious faction early, which is why he should be hoping that Huckabee and Santorum decide to forgo another run.

And then there is the fascinating case of Rand Paul, who has a potentially formidable base in two factions that don’t usually ally — moderates who like his social libertarianism and secular conservatives who like his economic views.

Confused yet? Imagine being a Republican strategist or donor, trying to figure out where to place your bets. And I haven’t even given you the Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal and John Kasich scenarios!

But let me conclude with one that seems a little more

likely: a rerun of Bush’s 2000 path, in which Marco Rubio wins by uniting religious and moderate conservatives.

Rubio had a tough 2013, thanks to his unsuccessful immigration push, and he lacks the ideologically committed support of a Paul or Cruz or Huckabee. But his domestic-policy forays (first on poverty, soon on taxes) have gotten smarter since the immigration debacle, and events in Venezuela and Crimea may be making his hawkish foreign policy vision more appealing to conservatives.

Moreover, as much as the party and the country have changed since the Bush era, the best way to unify the GOP is still to build bridges between religious conservatives and moderate conservatives — in effect, to seem relatable to Santorum voters while reassuring Romney voters. And Rubio, in affect and background and positioning, may be the right politician for that task.

Remember, I said “may.”

He’s not the front-runner, because there is no front-runner. There are only factions waiting for their champion, and a party waiting for its biggest fight in years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fort Marcy needs new exercise machines

F

or some of us, the Fort Marcy Recreational Complex is a second home, an indispensable part of daily life. Exercise is one of the keys to healthy living, and Fort Marcy affords us that opportunity and more. Over time, friendships are made and social bonds are formed there — a second family to go with our second home.

Although the facility is well-maintained, the aerobic machines are so old that spare parts are no longer available for many of them. Broken and worn-out equipment is becoming more and more common. Compared to the sparkling new equipment at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center, Fort Marcy feels like the poor stepsister.

We therefore ask, beg, cajole, demand and plead for the city to expend the funds necessary to replace the aerobic equipment. Our second home and family depend upon it.

Preserving special places I always enjoy visiting Lamy. I was on the Cornerstones board when we

helped start restorations of the church there, a process I hope will resume. It is a gem of a town: railroad station, big old trees and a rich variety of houses. I recall one marvelous send off as my wife and I boarded the train after witnessing the arrival of the “Easter Bunny” on the Santa Fe shuttle and a children’s egg hunt near the station. I cannot fathom why a company would want to transport oil from the Four Corners to refineries south of Albuquerque via Lamy, in the process spoiling that town with truck traffic and industrial installations. There has to be a better way, one sensitive to the value of special places. Lamy has such character, enhanced by a rich history of people coming to Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

‘Peanuts’ forever Several letters regarding your Comics section were published on March 9. I agree that La Cucaracha belongs on the editorial page. It is more political than Doonesbury and about as good as Mallard Fillmore.

Several letter writers did not like Peanuts, mentioning that its creator, Charles Schulz, is dead. Peanuts is still alive, the most consistently funny comic strip ever.

The inner logic display by the children (and even the dog) is wonderful. Please keep Peanuts forever.

all us skeptical about education programs that send New Mexico tax dollars to out-of-state companies. We do not favor further privatization of education, either. Yet, when it comes to bringing high school to hard-to-reach dropouts, it seems foolish for Santa Fe Public Schools to reinvent the wheel if, at no cost to the district, a company can find those students and help them receive an honest-to-goodness high school diploma.

That’s right, a diploma, not an equivalency degree with a test that costs upward of $2,000 to take.

The program, Engage Santa Fe, will hook up Santa Fe dropouts with Atlantic Education Partners of Florida. The out-of-state company would start recruiting dropouts next fall, using New Mexico’s per-pupil funding to finance its work. That means SFPS pays nothing. Because this will be a public school, the students will pay nothing as well.

Using the dropouts’ last known addresses and word of mouth, the company will identify candidates, who then can go back to school — on their own terms, perhaps as slow as one class at a time, until they finish. They can’t take forever, of course, since state funding for students only lasts until young people turn 21. Through distance learning and teachers on shifts, the students will learn on their own time and at school — the site will be staffed 13 hours a day and students can do their distance work on a Kindle.

The goal — an ambitious one — is to bring 75 to 100 former dropouts back to school. The Santa Fe Board of Education has approved the initiative. The vote was 4-1, with Glenn Wikle against because he does not support privatizing the public schools or sending New Mexico tax dollars out of state. We don’t disagree with those concerns, but believe that the potential benefit outweighs such worries.

This is a new program — Atlantic Education is starting five around the country, including in Chicago, this year.

District officials should watch it closely to ensure that students are being served and that tax dollars are not being wasted. The founder of Atlantic, Joseph Wise, is a former co-worker of Superintendent Joel Boyd and served on Boyd’s transition team as an unpaid adviser. That’s worth oversight as well.

All in all, as a last chance for students who have given up, Engage Santa Fe is a step in the right direction. Getting kids diplomas and improving Santa Fe’s dropout rate. In 2012, the latest year for which numbers are available, Santa Fe graduated 61.8 percent of students, according the Public Education Department. That’s up around 5 points from 2011, but still below the national graduation rate of around 70 percent.

Superintendent Boyd is eager to improve the graduation rate by even greater numbers.

Along with the transition facility on the south side for students who are discipline problems and a proposed Twilight School to operate in the late afternoon and early evening at both high schools, the Engage Santa Fe program is part of Boyd’s broad commitment to serve all students.

(The Academy at Larragoite also is available to students who want an alternative path to graduation.)

Reducing the dropout rate in the short term without bringing back dropouts to school is almost impossible.

Over the long haul, closer attention to basics and more choices in the early and midschool grades will pay off. But for the 19-year-old who can’t get a job, Engage Santa Fe offers a path back to success.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 12, 1964: Española — Chile growers in the Española Valley have organized an association as the first step in obtaining a drying and processing plant. Groundwork for the organization was done several months ago when a Michigan spice company investigated the possibility of using Valley red chile for food coloring and as a substitute for hard-to-get paprika. Once organized, the chile producers can now apply for a federal loan for a drying plant which will cost about $25,000. It is hoped that Valley chile can be marketed in the metropolitan areas in many various forms and that the industry will grow to a point where frozen foods utilizing chile can be sold.

March 12, 1989: Washington — The Internal Revenue Service said Friday that its telephone “assistors” are giving even more wrong answers than last year, and the agency promised to waive penalties for taxpayers who can document the erroneous information. So far this year, calls to the IRS toll-free numbers are producing answers that would lead to errors on taxpayer returns 30.8 percent of the time.

NEW YORK ach Galifianakis brought the ferns, and President Barack Obama opened a new avenue of presidential communication.

The president urged young people to sign up for the new health care plan through an appearance posted Tuesday on the comic website Funny or Die, bypassing the news media and even previous favorites like TV talk show titans Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman.

Instead, he chose to be a guest on Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns, the digital short with a laser focus on reaching people ages 18 to 34.

The video reached 1 million views within three and a half hours of posting and was adding more at a pace of 1 million per hour in the middle of the day, according to Funny or Die. The website was briefly the number one source of referrals to Healthcare.gov, the Obama administration said, with some 19,000 people navigating directly from the video to the health care website in the first few hours.

“Gone are the days when your broadcasts — or yours or yours — can reach everybody that we need to reach,” Obama press secretary Jay Carney said to broadcast journalists at the White House briefing Tuesday.

With 4 million viewers, Obama exceeded in six hours the typical audience he would get by appearing on television shows hosted by Letterman, Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. That doesn’t count the ancillary views — clips of the interview aired repeatedly on CNN. And it was a topic on Howard Stern’s radio show.

As hip as Fallon and Kimmel may be in some circles, their audiences skew older — a median age of 52.7 for Fallon and 56.2 for Kimmel during the last week of February, the Nielsen company said.

For Web entertainment, it’s a moment that rivals Emmy or Golden Globe nominations for Netflix’s House of Cards.

And in presidential annals, it breaks form much like Richard Nixon did with his awkward jokes on television’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. In the clip, Galifianakis peppered Obama with awkward questions, including whether he’d locate his presidential library in Hawaii or Kenya.

“What’s it like to be the last black president?” he asked.

“Seriously?” Obama said.

“What’s it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president?”

Galifianakis feigned annoyance when Obama, about halfway through the 6-minute clip, began urging young people to sign up for health care, sighing heavily before muttering, “Here we go.”

“I think it’s fair to say I wouldn’t be here today if I didn’t have something to plug,” Obama said.

As he went on, the Hangover star asked: “Is this what they mean by drones?”

Funny or Die was launched

by Will Ferrell and partners in 2007 and has gone beyond being a niche location. There have been about 20 Between Two Ferns episodes, drawing an average of 6 million

Comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis: ‘Is this what they mean by drones?’ he asked President Barak Obama during an interview on Between Two Ferns.

viewers each, and the Obama appearance is expected to go well beyond that number.

Funny or Die gets 19 million unique visitors a month andhas 7.8 million followers on Twitter and 5.5 million likes on Facebook.

Television talk show appearances have since become an accepted part of the political circuit.

The Obama administration hasn’t ignored this: First lady Michelle Obama appeared on a skit last month in Fallon’s first week at Tonight. Vice President Joe Biden was on Meyers’ first show.

The president played along with Fallon’s “slow jam the news” skit in talking about student loans in 2012, when he was running for re-election.

He’s done interactive Web appearances with Linked In, Google and Twitter, said presidential spokesman Joshua Earnest.

But it wasn’t quite like Galifianakis questioning him about whether there’s another presidential pardon for a turkey in order or showing him a rash on his arm.

“The video enabled the president to deliver his message very clearly but in a way that’s fresh and appealing to a young audience,” said Susan Etlinger, an Internet analyst for the Altimeter Group. “It’s almost cynical but in a sincere way.”

The White House began talking with Funny or Die last summer about ways to promote the health care plan, and the site has posted several comic videos about the topic, said Mike Farah, production president of the site and executive producer of Between Two Ferns. The interview was taped two weeks ago.

“What I really love about the video is that it’s a funny Between Two Ferns first,” Farah said. At the end, the interview’s black backdrop collapses and it’s revealed the White House is where the appearance was taped — the joke being that’s where Galifianakis does all his shows.

In the first few hours, 96 percent of the site’s visitors judged the video funny, meaning it had reached immortal status on the site, he said.

As 2016 approaches, no doubt other politicians will be watching its impact.

Not everyone was amused, though. On Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends, host Brian Kilmeade said the video was inappropriate and “pretty tragic.”

Carney was asked whether some presidential dignity was compromised.

“We obviously assess opportunities that we have and, you know, look at whether they’re going to be successful and wise,” he said.

“And I think we made the right call here.”

2 commissioners face challengers No GOP contenders file for races, so Democrats will decide all county offices in June primary

determine who will hold the offices.

Henry P. Roybal and Kenneth T. Borrego filed papers to run for the District 1 commission seat held by incumbent candidate Daniel “Danny” Mayfield.

Roybal, 44, who lives in the Pojoaque Valley, said he’s always been interested in public service.

“I really don’t want to say anything negative about anybody else that’s running, but I could be a little bit more responsive,” said Roybal, who works for Los Alamos National Laboratory as a designer.

Borrego, 53, who lives in Santo Niño, is a contractor and also owns a small car dealership. He said Mayfield has done a “good job” as a commissioner, but he’s running because he wants to give

back to the community. “I’m interested in seeing what kind of job I can do,” he said. “Maybe I can make a difference.”

Mayfield said it’s been a “very rewarding experience” representing his District 1 constituents. “I think I’ve been a very conscientious commissioner, serving their needs, attending to the issues that they bring forth to the Santa Fe County Commission,” he said, “and I have been very forthright with transparency and openness with government.”

New Mexico’s endowments had a bullish run in 2013, earning a 16.3 percent return on investments.

The State Investment Council, manager of funds, said Tuesday the returns more than doubled its goal of 7.5 percent.

The council’s endowments now total about $19 billion. That was an increase of $2.6 billion in a year, said Charles Wollmann, a spokesman for the council.

By far New Mexico’s largest endowment is the $13.5 billion Land Grant Permanent Fund. It will distribute $596 million to public programs in the next year.

Most of that money will go to K-12 schools, whose share from the endowment will increase by about $50 million over last year, Wollmann said.

Pete Archuleta, with the city of Santa Fe’s Parks Division, works on an improvement project Friday at the Buckman MX Track. Some changes were made to improve safety at the motocross track, which will open in early April. Only motorcycles will be allowed at the facility — ATVs and side-by-sides, or two-person vehicles, will be prohibited. The track has been closed since the beginning of 2013, due to safety concerns.

Deputy chiefs in command amid search for interim city police chief Council to decide today whether to extend contract for interim City Manager Snyder

By Chris Quintana

The New Mexican

John Schaerfl

Two deputy chiefs will manage the Santa Fe Police Department until an interim police chief is named to step in for retired Chief Ray Rael, a department spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Deputy Chiefs John Schaerfl and George Ortiz will be in command for now, spokeswoman Celina Westervelt said.

City Hall spokeswoman Jodi McGinnis Porter said it’s up to acting City Manager Brian Snyder to name an interim chief, and that he

hadn’t done so as of Tuesday. Rael stepped down Monday.

Snyder himself will be the subject of a contract extension vote at Wednesday’s City Council meeting.

A two-page proposal would essentially amend his existing contract to keep him in the $130,000-a-year position until June 10, “or at such time as a successor is appointed, whichever is later, unless terminated sooner.”

The council also is expected to discuss reappointing Yolanda Vigil

George Ortiz

as city clerk.

McGinnis Porter said a timeline to name an interim police chief isn’t clear, but she did say that Synder last week interviewed applicants from within the department.

She said Synder and newly elected Mayor Javier Gonzales will conduct a second round of interviews later this week. Under the current city charter, only Synder has the power to hire or fire city employees.

Rael, who is still receiving retirement benefits from his first stint with the police department, from 1978 to 1999, will not be collecting new retirement benefits for his recent service as chief. However, Westervelt said Rael will be able to collect a nearly $31,000 payout for unused annual leave.

OVERHAULED MOTOCROSS PARK PREPARES TO REOPEN

Hawaiian Kona coffee and climate change concerns fueled an all-nighter Monday by a group of Democratic senators, including New Mexico Sens.

Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich.

From about 6:30 p.m. until the sun rose over Washington, D.C., dozens of senators talked about how climate Tom Udall change is affecting their states and what they think Congress ought to do about it.

“We still have incredible passion about this issue,” Udall said during the speech-making Martin marathon. “We Heinrich know it is a serious problem. The American people know it is a serious problem.”

Udall and Heinrich said climate change is already manifesting in their state and the Southwest as an extended drought, reduced mountain snowpack and more wildfires. Udall called the Southwest a bullseye for climate change impacts.

One of the state’s largest reservoirs, Elephant Butte, is at its lowest level in 40 years. Last year, farmers in Southern New Mexico received little water for their fields, and ranchers had to sell off livestock due to drought, Udall said. “This is a devastating impact to people who live closest to the ground,” he said.

Both senators are stumping for renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change and to help beef up the economy. Udall has sponsored a bill

Fund has a value of about $4.5 billion.

It will provide $183 million next year to the state’s general fund.

The State Investment Council also manages a water trust fund and a fund established after New Mexico and most other states settled a lawsuit against big tobacco companies.

“What the public is beginning to realize is that, the more these funds grow, the more benefits they provide every year to schools and taxpayers,” said Steve Moise, the state investment officer.

Continued growth of the landgrant endowment is sure to figure prominently in state politics.

Advocates of early childhood education want to take another 1 percent annually from the endowment for prenatal care and programs to benefit infants and toddlers. A total of 5.5 percent already is withdrawn for public schools.

The initiative for early childhood

education would cost about $100 million a year for 10 years, according to the leading political sponsor, state Sen. Michael Sanchez, D-Belen.

Sanchez, the Senate majority leader, says investments in young children would pay dividends of their own. He said New Mexico would have more high school graduates, more productive workers and a lower prison population.

Republicans in the Legislature and some Democrats oppose drawing more money from the land-grant endowment. They say it could drain the fund, leaving less money over the long term for public schools.

Proposals to fund early childhood programs through the fund have failed in each of the last four legislative sessions.

Sanchez has promised to try again next year to get an early childhood initiative on the state ballot. The landgrant endowment is the only means

of funding it sufficiently, he said.

Another constitutional amendment relating to state investment practices will be on the ballot this fall.

It would allow for more investments globally. The council now is limited to international investments of 15 percent.

“The appropriate level of global investments should be determined by professionals, not an outdated restriction,” Moise said.

Sen. Tim Keller and Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, both Democrats from Albuquerque, sponsored the constitutional amendment to allow for more international investments. It made the ballot by clearing the Senate and House of Representatives in the final hour of the 2014 session.

Police: Suspect had 12 grams of meth Santa Fe police officers arrested a man who they say had nearly 12 grams of the stimulant methamphetamine in his possession.

A news release stated that Zachariah Ramsey, 40, of Santa Fe was arrested on drug-possession and concealing-identity charges by city officers and Homeland Security agents about 2 p.m. Tuesday near Fifth Street and Zachariah Mann Street.

Earlier this week, Ramsey Ramsey’s name and mugshot were included in the department’s list of most-wanted suspects for March.

The release stated that Ramsey was the subject of an active warrant for his arrest in connection with drug-trafficking charges. The statement said he refused to identify himself to police, who found 11.8 grams of suspected meth in his possession.

Police said that amount could be worth about $3,000 on the street.

A police spokeswoman said Ramsey was previously arrested Jan. 31 on a shoplifting charge, and when officers searched his vehicle, they found a variety of drugs, including prescription painkillers, synthetic marijuana, heroin and 14 grams of crystal meth. He was then charged with trafficking a controlled substance in addition to several counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Land grant group joins Mora fight vs. drilling Member says residents have ‘God-given right’ to protect land and water

By Staci Matlock

The New Mexican

The Mora Land Grant association has come down on the side of the Mora County Commission in a fight against the Royal Dutch Shell oil company and private landowners over oil and gas drilling.

The land grant group and a Mora resident filed a motion recently to intervene in the New Mexico federal District Court lawsuit brought against Mora County in January by Texasbased SWEPI, LP, formerly Shell Western E and P Inc. “This case is about who controls the water, the land, and the natural environment in Mora County — the residents of the county who have passed the ordinance to protect their rights

and the rights of nature or an out-ofstate corporation,” Jeffrey Haas, a Santa Fe attorney representing the land grant association, said in a statement.

Jacobo Pacheco, a Mora County resident and member of the land grant, also is intervening in the lawsuit. He said in the history of the U.S. — whether it was voting rights, civil rights or now the rights of people over corporations — “there is a time to stand up for what is right.”

“At the heart of this is our God-given right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness,” he said “We believe we are doing that by protecting our pristine land and water.”

Mora County passed an ordinance in April 2013 that makes it unlawful to extract oil, gas or any other hydrocarbon in the county. Mora County’s is the first so-called “community rights” ordinance in New Mexico, though similar efforts are underway in other states.

ordinance in November by the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico trade group and three Mora County property owners. Shell Western, or SWEPI, was the second lawsuit. The lawsuits claim the county

is violating the company’s and private landowners’ rights to lease and extract oil and gas. They claim the ordinance sets up an illegal taking without compensation.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to overturn the ordinance and award damages.

The Mora Land Grant association, officially known as La Merced de Santa Gertrudis de lo de Mora, has 66 individual members. They are descendants of the original families who received the land grant in 1835, when the area was part of Mexico. The land grant was patented by Congress in 1876, but much of the once-common lands shared by the families was sold or taken over the years. The heirs have worked to maintain the remaining lands and begin reconstituting the lands once used in common by all the families.

Races: 3 vie for assessor Continued from Page B-1 Bustamante, 50, who works for the state Department of Health as a manager for planning and resources.

Bustamante, who also is an adjunct professor at Northern New Mexico College in Española, said she has served on numerous boards and continues to serve on the La Bajada Ranch Steering Committee.

“I’m running because I want to see the direction of the county be more aligned or maybe more considerate of the individual property owner than it’s been,” Bustamante said.

Anaya, a rancher from Stanley who replaced his brother, Michael Anaya, on the commission four years ago, was attending a commission meeting and could not be reached Tuesday.

Three candidates are running for the job of county assessor: Gus Martinez, 40, who works in the County Assessor’s Office as a chief appraiser; Sef I. Valdez, 54, who owns and operates a construction company; and Phillip M. Pacheco. Pacheco could not be reached Tuesday. The current assessor, Domingo P. Martinez, cannot seek re-election due to term limits.

Sheriff Robert A. Garcia is running unopposed in the primary.

Three candidates are vying to replace term-limited Probate Judge Mark A. Basham, including his wife, Katherine Ann Basham. The other two candidates are Frank A. Fischer and Shannon Broderick Bulman.

Magistrate Judges David A. Segura, George Anaya and Donna BevacquaYoung are running unopposed. Donita O. Sena and Marcus M. Romero are vying for the Division 4 position.

PRC member faces challenge in District 4 Incumbent Theresa BecentiAguilar and two fellow Democrats are running for the state Public Regulation Commission seat for northwest New Mexico.

PRC District 4 stretches from western Santa Fe County to the Four Corners area.

Becenti-Aguilar, of Albuquerque, originally was appointed to the District 4 seat in the summer of 2010 by then-governor Bill Richardson. She won election to the PRC that fall.

One of her opponents in the June primary election is former public regulation commissioner and former state Sen. Lynda Lovejoy, who lists her address as Crownpoint.

The third candidate in the Democratic primary will be Edward J. Michael, a Cibola County commissioner and a resident of Seboyeta.

No Republican is seeking the seat.

Perhaps the most important job of public regulation commissioners is evaluating and deciding on rate requests by monopoly utility companies.

Lawmaker: AG probe into payments continues Continued from Page B-1 announcing that he will seek re-election. He will be challenged by former state Rep. Andy Nuñez of Hatch, who is running as a Republican after first serving as a Democrat and than as an independent.

Attorney General Gary King’s office has launched a preliminary investigation into the legality of the Legislature’s payments to absent lawmakers.

The probe will proceed regardless of whether Archuleta repays the state, according to Phil Sisneros, spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office.

“It does not have any effect upon how we will proceed on the complaint,” Sisneros said.

The probe was spurred by a citizen complaint inspired by stories first reported in The New Mexican that Archuleta and Rep. Ernest Chavez, D-Albuquerque, who also missed the entire session following a spider bite, had received per diem and mileage payments.

Chavez received $4,770 in per diem and $315.84 in mileage. He has announced that he will not seek re-

election.

The citizen complaint filed by Santa Fe lawyer Carolyn Glick also asked the Attorney General’s Office to explore the legality of payments to Rep. Dianne Hamilton, R-Silver City, who missed most of the last 10 days of the 30-day session with a respiratory illness.

Chavez and Hamilton did not respond to messages Tuesday.

The New Mexico Constitution provides for lawmakers, who don’t receive a salary, to receive the Internal Revenue Service rate of reimbursement for Santa Fe “for each day’s attendance” during the legislative session. Currently, the rate is $159 per day, and lawmakers receive 56 cents per mile for travel to and from the state Capitol in Santa Fe. Chavez and Archuleta each received a mileage payment for one round trip, although neither made the drive.

Glick’s complaint asks the Attorney General’s Office to compel the lawmakers to repay money they received for legislative days they did not attend and seeks an end to the practice of paying per diem or mileage to absent legislators.

He started as the interim chief in March 2011 and then stepped into the role on a long-term basis in June of that year.

Since then, he has altered the workweek from four 10-hour days to five eight-hour days, a move was drew heavy criticism from the police union.

Although property crime rates and overtime costs dropped during Rael’s tenure, Gonzales has said he is interested in whether the original work schedule should be restored.

The chief also handles disciplinary matters, interviews for new hires, internal affairs decisions, budgetary matters and negotiations with the police union.

H-board delays El Castillo’s proposed memory center

By Paul Weideman The New Mexican

The opening of a new memory center for Alzheimer’s patients at the El Castillo retirement community was delayed by a decision from the city’s Historic Districts Review Board on Tuesday evening.

Although substantially complete, the center, which is based around a remodel of the historic Valdes House on East De Vargas Street, needed the board’s approval on three items. Only one of those items — screening for a large trash enclosure required by the city — was approved by the board.

The board rejected both proposed screening for three rooftop mechanical units and a large “hotbox” holding city water backflow-prevention equipment on the street side of a new privacy wall.

Architect Michael Duty, agent for El Castillo, said the rooftop appurtenances could be effectively screened by painting them brown to match the building’s stucco. The board disagreed.

At a previous meeting, board member Cecilia Rios made an amendment that there would be no publicly visible rooftop equipment on the Valdes House project.

On Tuesday, the architect said his proposals regarding the rooftop appurtenances had been consistent and accurate. When Chairwoman Sharon Woods asked him why they weren’t shown on his drawings, he responded with some advice: “If you’d like to prevent this problem in the future, you should require just that. You should require rooftop equipment to be shown on drawings.”

After consulting staff, Woods responded: “It is a requirement.”

Regarding the hotbox, Duty said the city dictated where it should be, but board members wondered why it couldn’t be placed inside the new privacy wall that surrounds the memory center’s front courtyard.

Several citizens expressed criticism of the El Castillo project and Duty’s work. Randall Bell, speaking both for himself and the executive board of the Old Santa Fe Association, said, “My concern is there has been a pattern established that certain architects and developers have established a practice of coming before this board, making representations under oath, getting limited permits and then doing what they want to do.”

Bell called the transformation of the Valdes House “a disaster” and suggested the changes could result in a downgrading of the building’s historic status.

“It was a wonderful remnant of an early 19th-century farmhouse, and at this point all you see is a massive wall with no break in it and an institutional building that bears no resemblance to a historic structure,” Bell said.

He added that the three appurtenances on the rooftop “ruin the profile” of the building, and he described the hotbox as “monstrous … and they were not permitted by this board.”

Santa Fe resident Ray Herrera said he supported the project because it was for El Castillo’s memory care unit, but he said it was wrong for Duty “to come before you [the board] and dictate to you what he thinks is right after being before you guys five times” in the past two and a half years.

Before making the motion to postpone action and request alternatives for the rooftop and hotbox equipment, board member Boni Armijo told the architect: “If that box would have been looked at initially and placed behind that large wall, we wouldn’t be talking about it right now.

SFCC board OKs $500K for Guzmán

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

The Santa Fe Community College’s Governing Board voted 3-1 Tuesday to pay $500,000 to former president Ana “Cha” Guzmán to settle all claims against the college.

The agreement says the college and its insurer will pay the half-million dollars, but it does not specify how much of that amount each is responsible for. Spokeswoman Janet Wise said the college, which receives public funds, will not comment further on that issue.

The 12-page settlement agreement, provided by the college Tuesday, gives Guzmán 21 days to sign the document as well as seven days to revoke the agreement.

It notes that the only public statement the two sides or their attorneys

In brief

Report: Cadets could get hotline The Department of Public Safety could set up an anonymous hotline for Law Enforcement Academy cadets to report any wrongdoing within the academy, a New Mexico State Police spokesman told KOB-TV. A reporter for the news station asked Tony Lynn, spokesman for the agency, if the department, which oversees the academy, could set up the anonymous hotline.

The statement was part of a news report that KOB aired Monday night focusing on a letter by anonymous cadets sent to the Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Office, accusing the academy’s director, Jack Jones, of encouraging cadets to cheat.

The April 2013 letter claimed Jones wanted academy instructors to give out the questions and answers to tests before an exam was taken by the cadets. Lynn said an internal

The Governing Board hired Guzmán in the summer of 2012 at a salary of $196,000 to replace retiring former president Sheila Ortego.

Within a year, staff and faculty representatives were complaining of low morale on campus, arguing that Guzmán’s leadership style included

investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing.

Deputy: Man drove drunk with child Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies late Sunday night arrested a man they say was driving drunk with his 9-year-old child in the vehicle.

A deputy reported that he spotted a red Cadillac driven by Ernesto Gonzalez-Guerra, 39, of Santa Fe swerving along Agua Fría Street and running a stop sign. After stopping the vehicle, the deputy said, he discovered Gonzalez-Guerra smelled of alcohol and had a child in the vehicle.

Gonzalez-Guerra, who allegedly told the deputy he drank two Budweisers before driving, failed field sobriety tests. The deputy then arrested Gonzalez-Guerra and gave him a breath test. He blew a 0.16, which is twice the legal limit.

Gonzalez-Guerra faces charges of aggravated drunken driving and child abuse.

The child was released to its

bullying and not listening to stakeholders’ input.

Guzmán’s defenders claim she was targeted because of administrative changes she made, her inquiries into college finances and her efforts to cut back on waste and improve efficiency.

The board fired Guzmán by a vote of 3-2 in December. She hired attorneys to file a whistle-blower case and said she wanted her job back as well as back pay.

The two sides met in Albuquerque last Tuesday, when both agreed to the $500,000 settlement.

Board member Kathy Keith cast the dissenting vote against the agreement Tuesday. She declined further comment based on the terms both sides are bound to by the agreement.

mother after the incident, and Gonzalez-Guerra was released from the Santa Fe County jail on a $5,000 surety bond Monday afternoon.

SFCC appoints new board member The Santa Fe Community College’s Governing Board voted Tuesday to appoint Pablo Sedillo to fill a vacant position on the board. Sedillo is a government-relations contractor for Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and holds a bachelor’s degree from New Mexico Highlands University. He previously served on that college’s foundation board.

Sedillo replaces Andrea Bermúdez, who resigned from her position in December in protest over the board’s decision to terminate former president Ana “Cha” Guzmán. The board will swear Sedillo in during its March 26 meeting on campus.

The college campus will close for spring break during the week of March 17.

9,000-year-old masks go on display at museum in Jerusalem

J

ERUSALEM — The oldest known masks in the world went on display Tuesday in Jerusalem in the largest-ever exhibit of the ghoulish faces, believed to have been created in the Holy Land thousands of years before the time of the Bible.

The 11 stone masks, said to have been discovered in the Judean desert and hills near Jerusalem, date back 9,000 years and offer a rare glimpse at some of civilization’s first communal rituals.

“It’s quite exciting,” said James Snyder, director of the Israel Museum, which is hosting the seven-month exhibit. “When you go back to objects that are this old, that are so much before the theology that becomes Judaism, Christianity and then Islam, to feel that there is a kind of a connection, that this is all part of a continuous story, is something that is pretty thrilling.”

The masks are thought to have been fashioned to look like skulls, and each one has its own personality. Some have round cartoonlike holes for eyes, others flash a grin of tiny teeth. One elongated mask bears a resemblance to that of Hollywood villain Hannibal Lecter of Silence of the Lambs.

The masks have long been an enigma.

Most of the artifacts had made their way into the hands of private collectors over the past several decades, so it took 10 years of carbon-14 testing and comparison to similar masks discovered in documented Israeli excavations for experts to determine their authenticity and origin.

Iain Morley, a professor of paleoanthropology at Oxford University, said the items are believed to be the oldest of their kind. “I don’t think there’s anything that early from other parts of the world that you can say is a mask,” said Morley, who isn’t involved in the exhibit.

In the past few weeks, researchers say they have resolved one of the masks’ mysteries. Computer simulation tests conducted

Masks that date back 9,000 years are on display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

at Hebrew University in Jerusalem have led experts to conclude that many of the masks may have been worn on people’s faces, not tied to structures at ritual sites as was previously thought.

The masks date to the Neolithic period, before the invention of writing. But the tradition of mask wearing is apparently even older.

Cave drawings dating back 25,000 years depict people wearing animal masks, said exhibit curator Debby Hershman. But actual masks from this time have not been found, possibly because they were made of biodegradable materials that disintegrated over time.

The stone masks were fashioned at a critical turning point in the history of civilization, when humans in the Fertile Crescent abandoned the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and became farmers, Hershman said. The Jerusalem region was one of the main centers of the agricultural revolution.

“It’s the most important revolution that ever happened,” Hershman said. The people who fashioned the masks, she said, “are actually the founders of civilization.”

Agricultural communities needed to reinforce their societal bonds to maintain their connection to the land and each other, so they began performing ritualistic rites, researchers believe. The stone masks are thought to have been made to look like the

skulls of dead ancestors, used in civilization’s first public ceremonies.

How these 11 stone masks were brought together for this exhibit is something of a detective story.

The Israel Museum owns two of them — one discovered in an Israeli excavation, and another from the personal collection of the iconic general and politician Moshe Dayan, an antiquities enthusiast who autographed his name on the back of the mask. Dayan died in 1981.

Hershman, the museum’s prehistory curator, said she was rummaging through the Israel Museum archives when she stumbled upon three photos of other Neolithic stone masks she had not recognized, labeled as belonging to an anonymous private collection. Hershman said Snyder, the museum’s director, began to inquire with collectors around the world to try to track down the masks.

That search led to Judy and Michael Steinhardt, prominent New York collectors of Judaica and antiquities, who said they owned a hoard of similar masks and agreed to loan them to the museum for research and display.

“The masks represent a near eternal visage, their stone substance both powerful and quiet,” said Judy Steinhardt in comments that appear in the exhibition catalog. “Michael and I have lived with these masks for the past 25 years, and we love spending quiet hours in our library together surrounded by these evocative works.”

According to Hershman, there is one other mask of this age on display in the world, at the Bible et Terre Sainte museum in Paris.

Hershman said that mask features color pigment that is too brittle for the mask to have been shipped for display in Jerusalem.

In the Israel Museum exhibit, the masks are mounted in slender glass cases and at eye level for visitors to peer through the masks, as if they were wearing them.

The museum is encouraging visitors to photograph “selfie” snapshots with the masks.

LOS ANGELES — Mural, the brilliant Jackson Pollock painting that took 20th-century American art in a new direction, has re-emerged from seclusion with a stunning face-lift that’s given it a brighter look and an even more towering presence than it had before.

The oil-on-canvas masterpiece that measures more than 8 feet tall and nearly 20 feet long has been under wraps at the J. Paul Getty Museum for more than a year, undergoing an extensive restoration.

Painted in 1943 for wealthy art collector Peggy Guggenheim, it represents a key moment in Pollock’s career in which he began to move from creating more symbolic, regional forms to the abstract expressionism of his “drip” paintings that would both distinguish his career and transform the art world.

“This painting made a cultural shift in a modern artist who redefined art in the 20th century,” Jim Cuno, the J. Paul Getty Trust’s president and CEO, said before museum officials took reporters on a tour of the gallery where the work will hang until June 1.

When visitors to the hilltop museum get their first glimpses of the painting Tuesday, the first thing they might notice is a far more colorful work than the one that hung for decades in the University of Iowa Museum of Art, which received it as a gift from Guggenheim in 1951.

Restorers painstakingly removed a varnish put in place during a 1973 restoration. Although that restoration likely saved the painting, the varnish substantially dimmed the intensity of its colors, said Yvonne Szafran, head of paintings conservation for the Getty.

As restorers returned the work to its original luster, they also were able to dispel some of the many myths surrounding it. The key one, perhaps, was that Pollock created the masterpiece in one nonstop burst of energy that began on New Year’s Eve 1943 and lasted 24 to 36 hours.

Although the artist told his brother he spent the summer of 1943 working on it, the marathon myth was spread by Guggenheim and Pollock’s wife, and might have been the result of a misunderstanding.

Restorers noticed that Pollock’s initial paint marks, which cover the whole canvas, were made in four highly diluted colors and they could have been put on in a day, said Tom Learner, head of the Getty Conservation Institute. The other more substantial additions would have taken much longer to dry.

Pollock was only 31, and a relative unknown, when he completed the work. In the years that followed, he would shake up the art world with his “drip paintings” that used house paints that he would pour directly onto canvases placed on the floor.

Although there’s no evidence he placed Mural on the floor, and its many brush strokes are obvious, restorers did discover the use of house paint on parts of the canvas. The rest was created with high-quality artists’ oils.

The painting, filled with colorful, twisting animallike forms, was described by the artist himself as representing a stampede of animals from the American West.

“We can’t say with certainty that it’s the first known use of house paints by Pollock,” Learner said as he pointed out areas where it was used. “But it’s the earliest known analyzed use.”

When Pollock finished the painting it wouldn’t quite fit into the entryway to Guggenheim’s New York City apartment, so the ends were folded slightly.

That prompted rumors it had been cut.

“It definitely wasn’t cut,” Learner said, noting the ends have been restored to view.

American Airlines and JetBlue to end agreement NEW YORK — American Airlines and JetBlue Airways Corp. are ending an agreement that allowed travelers to add connections to their itinerary on one another’s aircraft.

The termination of the interline sales agreement is effective Monday.

The companies also said that they are ending a reciprocal frequent flyer program accrual agreement.

Travelers won’t earn miles or points when traveling on eligible routes run by the other airline beginning April 1.

All American AAdvantage miles or JetBlue TrueBlue points already accrued through the partnership will be credited to customers’ accounts and are not affected.

Last month Delta announced changes to its frequent flyer program. Starting next year, Delta customers will earn miles based on how much they spend, not just miles flown.

Demonettes’ win not exactly revenge Victory over Roswell might make up for last year’s defeat

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE he Santa Fe High girls basketball team’s hopes for a championship last year were dashed by Roswell in double overtime of the Class AAAA State Tournament semifinals, and the Demonettes 2 SFHS 51 weren’t going to forget that.

7 Roswell 43 That loss motivated them to work for another championship this year, but before they can play for the championship Friday, they had to take out the No. 7 Lady Coyotes once again. This time it would be in the quarterfinals in The Pit on Tuesday.

It got close, but the second-seeded Demonettes inched away in the fourth quarter and beat Roswell 51-43, thus setting them up in the semifinals with No. 6 Valencia at 9:45 a.m.

Thursday in The Pit. If the Demonettes needed more reminding that the Lady Coyotes ended their season prematurely last year, they got it when a referee asked junior wing Kayla Herrera if Roswell beat them last season.

Herrera answered the question, but then quickly tried to forget about it.

“I just kind of blew it off and not let it psyche me out,” Herrera said.

The reason she blew it off was because the Demonettes tried not to think about it as a revenge game.

Instead, they tried to treat it as just a roadblock to the semifinals.

“At first we were like ‘Oh yeah, revenge,’ but [senior Jackie Martinez] stepped in and said ‘Don’t think

He and the Lady Bengals started to feel better when Cheyenne Livingston scored on a hook shot under the basket to make it 62-56 with 4:41 to go. That started a crucial 6-0 run that was just enough to sap Española of the momentum it had worked furiously to take back.

“We played hard to the last second, as we have previous games,” said Ray Romero, Lady Sundevils head coach. “We started off slow. I don’t know if the moment got to us. We just came out a little sluggish.”

The “moment” was playing in The Pit, and it was the first 4 minutes in particular, that snowballed into an abysmal first half. When Trujillo hit two free throws with 4:11 in the first quarter, Gallup already had a 10-2 lead. The margin only grew

Who knew that Kaitlyn Romero’s floater on the baseline just 11 seconds later snapped the Lady Sundevils out of their funk?

Ware, Peppers released as NFL free agency opens

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

A couple of accomplished NFL pass rushers suddenly became available when DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers were released to create room under the salary cap in two of the biggest moves at Tuesday’s start of the free-agency signing period.

The Bears cut ties with Peppers, who has 118½ sacks in 12 seasons, as part of a series of moves aimed at improving their defense, including a five-year contract with former Raiders end Lamarr Houston.

The Cowboys let Ware and his 117 sacks go.

“A decision like this, involving a man who is a cornerstone player in the history of your franchise, is extremely difficult,” DeMarcus Dallas owner Jerry Ware Jones said. “We were also in very strong agreement that playing for the Dallas Cowboys would be one of the options we would both be exploring.”

With the cap rising $10 million to a

record $133 million, a crop of players quickly found new homes as soon as the market officially opened Tuesday afternoon — and safeties and offensive linemen were popular commodities.

About 5½ hours after free agency began, one of the top players available, three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd, agreed to terms with the Saints, part of a merry-go-round of moves at his position. Other safeties swapping clubs: Michael Jenkins, from Saints to Eagles; Donte Whitner from 49ers to Browns; Antoine Bethea from Colts to 49ers; T.J. Ward from Browns to Broncos; Mike Mitchell from Panthers to Steel-

ers; Ryan Mundy from Giants to Bears.

In addition to jettisoning Peppers and adding Houston and Mundy, Chicago agreed to one-year deals with linebackers Jordan Senn and D.J. Williams.

Deals for offensive linemen were highlighted by Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert’s five-year contract with the Dolphins. Albert left Kansas City to take over the position played at the start of last season by Jonathan Martin, whose exit from Miami in October led to an NFL inquiry into bullying on the team.

Late Tuesday, Martin was traded by

the Dolphins to the 49ers.

Left tackle Jared Veldheer and the Cardinals agreed to a five-year contract worth up to $35 million. Veldheer left the Raiders, who replaced him by giving former Rams lineman Rodger Saffold a five-year deal. Another left tackle, Eugene Monroe, agreed to a five-year contract to stay with the Ravens.

NHL

Stars’ Peverley hospitalized; teammates try to regroup

By R.B. Fallstrom

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Stars forward Rich Peverley remained hospitalized Tuesday in Dallas, undergoing heart tests after collapsing on the bench during a game that was postponed.

His teammates? They are trying to deal with what they saw.

After an eerily quiet flight and sleepless nights all around, the Stars were back on the ice for a morning skate in St. Louis, relieved that Peverley’s irregular heart condition had stabilized but clearly shaken by an event that puts their playoff push in perspective.

Even if the NHL hadn’t postponed the game Monday night in Dallas with the Blue Jackets leading 1-0 early in the first period, linemate Tyler Seguin was done for the night. He’d come off the ice just ahead of Peverley and was right there when Peverley lost consciousness during what the team called a “cardiac event.”

“I went in the room and took my stuff off right away,” Seguin said, his voice catching a bit. “I was right beside him when it was all happening.”

Forward Vernon Fiddler was with Nashville when the Red Wings’ Jiri Fischer collapsed on the Detroit bench in 2005, also from a heart problem.

Fiddler was among four Stars players made available after the morning skate, a veteran hoping to help the kids cope.

“It’s pretty emotional when you see your teammate collapse like that,” Fiddler said. “We have some young guys on the team and it’s a lot more difficult for them because they haven’t been through things the older guys have been through.

You’ve got to help them through that.”

For one Stars teammate, Alex Chiasson, it was too much. The team said he had joined Peverley in a Dallas hospital for observation because he was so distraught.

“Yeah, yeah, he wasn’t doing good,” coach Lindy Ruff said. “A lot of anxiety associated with what happened last night.”

The Blues also had emotions to sort out.

Blues forward Brenden Morrow has vivid memories of Buffalo’s Richard Zednik getting his throat slashed by the skate of a tumbling team-

mate in 2008.

Morrow roomed with Zednik in juniors and the two were close friends.

“Those are scary things,” Morrow said. “I don’t even know where to begin with what they’re thinking in that locker room.”

The 31-year-old Peverley, who averaged 16 minutes of ice time in all six games of the Stanley Cup last season with Boston, was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in training camp and underwent a procedure that sidelined him through the first regular season game. He had played in 60 consecutive games before sitting out at Columbus last week due to effects of his heart condition, but Monday’s game was his third straight since then.

General manager Jim Nill said Peverley was undergoing tests to find the “cause of the event and a long-term solution.” The condition places Peverely’s career in jeopardy and it’s likely he won’t be back this season. Ruff, asked whether there was a prognosis for Peverley’s return, replied: “No, no, nothing.”

The Stars won a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues Tuesday in St. Louis.

CHICAGO — Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and Tony Parker had 20, as the leagueleading Spurs 104 San Antonio Spurs Bulls 96 beat the Chicago Bulls 104-96 on Tuesday night.

Kawhi Leonard added 16 for San Antonio, which won its seventh straight and 10th in its last 11. The Spurs (47-16) maintained their hold on the NBA’s best record, staying ahead of Oklahoma City and Indiana, who both started play Tuesday a half-game behind the Spurs.

San Antonio jumped out to a big lead early, taking a 61-33 advantage into halftime, including 18 from Parker. That helped them improve to 24-6 on the road, the NBA’s best mark away from home.

Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook scored 24 points and got the best of nemesis Patrick Beverley. During last year’s playoffs, Beverley dived for the ball and ran into Westbrook’s right knee as a timeout was being called, causing the injury that ended Westbrook’s season and cost him about half of this season. It was their first meeting since the incident.

Bias is best for new Final Four ‘Teamcasts’

By Rachel Cohen

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Accuse some of the announcers calling next month’s Final Four on national TV of bias toward one team and their bosses at the networks will be flattered.

NCAA Tournament rights-holders Turner Sports and CBS are experimenting this year with two additional telecasts of the semifinal games, using crews with a connection to each program.

Labeling the commentators “homers” will be considered a compliment.

As Turner Broadcasting System President David Levy notes, fans have long mused about how nice it would be to hear their favorite local voices on the biggest of games. Since he and CBS Sports Chair Sean McManus like to use their alma maters to illustrate NCAA Tournament scenarios, imagine if Syracuse and Duke face off in one semifinal April 5. Jim Nantz, Greg Anthony and Steve Kerr will handle the main broadcast on TBS. The regular Syracuse radio announcers might call the game from the Orange perspective on TNT, while Duke’s radio crew gives the Blue Devils take on the truTV “Teamcast.”

“If you’re a Syracuse fan or a Duke fan, ultimately you want to feel like you’re

watching that home team kind of game,” Levy said Tuesday.

The conundrum is it’s impossible to predict which four teams will advance to North Texas. The Final Four won’t be set until six days before the semifinals.

So network executives have been meeting weekly for the four months since the plan was announced to prepare for that mad scramble. Turner Sports senior vice president Craig Barry already has a long spreadsheet of possibilities for the dozens of teams that could get that far. The schools’ regular radio announcers may not be an option: They can’t do the “Teamcast” if they’re also handling their regular radio responsibilities, though Barry thinks the colleges are so excited about this plan they may free them to do television. Other possibilities include local TV hosts, commentators who call the conference’s games for regional sports networks, even celebrities linked to the university.

Once the Sweet Sixteen squads are known, the networks will start negotiating with crews, though only a quarter of those will ever work games for them. As a backup, they plan to line up regional or national announcers for each broadcast, but ideally the hires will have a close connection to the programs — and the deep

knowledge and passion that come with it.

“That’s where the most energy’s going to come from,” said Barry, who oversees production and serves as executive creative director.

The Turner and CBS names will still be on this coverage, though, so the networks need to feel confident the commentators can provide a solid call. The level of the play-by-play announcer is especially important.

“Just because we’re being innovative doesn’t give us an excuse not to execute at the highest quality,” Barry said.

There will be three TV trucks parked next to each other with a producer and director for each telecast — crews who just came off broadcasting the regionals for Turner and CBS. The production will use four more cameras to offer team-centric angles. Each will also have its own replays, graphics (in team colors) and halftime show.

The ads will be the same for all three telecasts, which also will be streamed online.

For this year, it’s one giant experiment, with plenty of tweaks likely to come in future seasons. ESPN aired coverage on multiple channels in connection with this year’s college football championship, but those offered various studio analysis options instead of different game telecasts.

BASEBALL COMMENTARY

Bill for the Dodgers is about ready to come due

By Tim Dahlberg

The Associated Press

F

ans of the Los Angeles Dodgers applauded as the team was sold for $2 billion, and cheered with each expensive new addition.

Now the bill is coming due. And guess who is going to pay the price?

Actually, you don’t need to guess. The way baseball finds ways to separate fans from their money knows no bounds.

New stadiums funded by taxpayers are pretty much standard across the country.

So are $11 beers and $15 sandwiches for those who can afford the price of a ticket at the ballpark to begin with.

But now teams are finding ways to reach deep in the pockets of those who wouldn’t know Clayton Kershaw from Alex Rodriguez. And that could mean more than half of Dodger fans in the Los Angeles area — and countless others living elsewhere — may find themselves unable to watch their favorite team when the season begins later this month.

At the heart of the issue is a new regional sports network that will pay the Dodgers $8.35 billion over the next 25 years. It was created by Time Warner Cable solely to broadcast the team’s games, and it’s the reason the new owners paid more for the team than any other professional sports franchise ever.

It’s nothing new in sports. The YES Network that broadcasts the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets is reportedly very profitable, and there has been a proliferation of new networks sprouting up for teams, leagues and even college conferences.

But the networks want to be bundled in packages that everyone gets, not just sports fans. There’s a lot more money to be made if every cable or satellite TV subscriber

has to pay up.

It’s a system that has worked well for ESPN, which gets more than $5 a month from almost everyone who pays a cable or satellite bill. But providers like DirecTV are starting to play hardball in negotiations with the new networks, and that means a lot of Dodger fans could be without their favorite team unless deals are made.

Even if they are, what used to be seen for either free or a small fee will now cost viewers plenty. Baseball has now gotten the pay-per-view it has coveted for so long, and the best part is it’s cleverly disguised as just part of your monthly bill.

On an earnings call with analysts last month, DirecTV CEO Mike White called the fee Time Warner is asking for its Dodger Network — various reports put it between $4 and $5 a month — a “staggering increase relative to any other benchmark in Major League Baseball.”

For those who can’t bear spending the summer without Vin Scully, that’s probably a fee they’re willing to pay. But sports programming is already a big chunk of every-

one’s cable or satellite bill, and without a la carte pricing, everyone pays. That includes people who would much rather spend the evening watching American Idol than the Dodgers playing the San Diego Padres.

DirecTV is already charging an additional $3 per month in markets with multiple regional sports networks. White said the Los Angeles market should expect an increase in that surcharge if the satellite provider decides to carry the network.

“These kinds of increases are what drive people to want to see a la carte,” he told analysts.

The real problem, though, isn’t the business dispute between cable and satellite providers and the new networks. It’s the unending greed of Major League Baseball, which continues to sacrifice the good of the game for the money its owners can make from the game.

It’s backfired at times, most notably in Houston where the parent company of Comcast SportsNet Houston is in bankruptcy because no other providers thought the hapless Astros were worth buying. But mostly, baseball has been able to continue to extract money from both fans and nonfans who don’t even realize they’re paying.

They do so even while interest in the game is declining. Sure, the die-hard fans remain, but the World Series that used to be regularly watched in more than half of all households was on in just 15 percent of them last year.

The new owners of the Dodgers didn’t spend $2 billion thinking they wouldn’t be getting in on the gravy train. With one of the premier franchises in sports, it’s pretty much a guarantee they will.

What’s even more of a guarantee is that you’ll end up footing the bill.

PREP ROUNDUP

Dragons’ Rivas pitches no-hitter in win over Estancia The New Mexican

Eduardo Rivas was a good pitcher in 2013.

The Monte del Sol senior made a statement about his 2014 season, as he fired a no-hitter against Estancia to lead Monte del Sol to a 2-0 season-opening win in Estancia on Tuesday afternoon.

Rivas struck out 18 batters, but did walk six Bears. However, Dragons head coach Frank Lucero liked how his ace battled through adversity.

“That was a lot of walks in a low-scoring

game, but he did what he needed to do when people were in scoring position,” Lucero said. “He threw strikes and got them to chase the ball.”

The senior also did his part at the plate, as Rivas’ RBI double in the fourth inning opened the scoring. Peter Bartlett added an insurance RBI single in the sixth.

SANTA FE HIGH 19, POjOAquE VALLEY 9 (SIX INNINGS) Aside from a six-run third inning by the Elks, the Demons were in control of their season opener at home. Santa Fe High led

12-2 in the third when Pojoaque pounded starter August Harkavy, but the relieving duo of Kodi Richards and Gabe Valdez shut down the Elks the rest of the way.

“It would have been Kodi’s bullpen session [Tuesday], but it was good to get those guys some time on the mound,” said Anthony Martinez, Santa Fe High head coach.

Valdez also made an impression at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a home run and a double, while Hiram Lopez was 2-for-5 with a double. Korwin Mueller was a menace on the basepaths, stealing five bases while going 1-for-3.

Move: Ware would have cost $16 million Continued from Page B-5 moah, who left the Chiefs; the Redskins struck a deal with Shawn Lauvao, who left the Browns. The Redskins also agreed to terms with Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts and special teams standout Adam Hayward and scheduled a visit with cornerback Corey Graham.

The Jaguars also were busy, including a trade that sent quarterback Blaine Gabbert to the 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick, an agreement with

former Vikings running back Toby Gerhart, and re-signing cornerback Will Blackmon to a two-year deal.

Kick returner and receiver Dexter McCluster went to the Titans from the Chiefs; defensive end Arthur Jones joined the Colts from the Ravens; defensive end Tyson Jackson and defensive tackle Paul Soliai joined the Falcons; and defensive tackle Earl Mitchell left the Texans for the Dolphins.

Amid it all, the Ware and Peppers departures might

have been the most significant developments.

The 31-year-old Ware, who went to seven Pro Bowls while in Dallas, was set to count $16 million against the salary cap. By releasing him now, the Cowboys, who were right up against the cap, saved more than $7 million. Ware had a career-low six sacks last season, his ninth in Dallas. He missed time with a thigh injury, then had offseason elbow surgery.

Others released included Bills quarterback Kevin Kolb

(who failed a physical), Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud, Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley, 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers, Eagles safety Patrick Chung, and Bengals center Kyle Cook.

Among players staying put: u PK Adam Vinatieri, the 41-year-old with four Super Bowl rings, agreed to a twoyear contract with the Colts.

Other PKs getting new contracts: Nick Folk (Jets), Phil Dawson (49ers), Dan Carpenter (Bills).

CLASS AA GIRLS

Mora buckles, falls to Hatch

By Will Webber The New Mexican

RIO RANCHO — It started, as most collapses do, with a seemingly harmless play.

By the end it had a head coach questioning his future, an entire team reduced to tears and a town wondering what it has to do Hatch 39 to get its team out of a Mora 37 postseason funk.

Seeded third entering the girls’ Class AA State Basketball Tournament, Mora was given an early exit with a stunning 39-37 loss to No. 6 Hatch Valley on Tuesday morning at the Santa Ana Star Center.

The Rangerettes (23-4) led for all but 1.9 seconds of the 32-minute game. Unfortunately, the only time they trailed were those final moments when Hatch’s Tory Carson snapped a 37-all tie by hitting two pressure-packed free throws.

Leading by as many as 15 points in the second quarter and 28-16 at halftime, Mora simply came unglued in the second half. With Carson asserting herself in the low post and Lady Bears guards Daisy Varela and Alyssa Martinez forcing the tempo by pressuring the Rangerettes’ guards, Hatch methodically chipped away by forcing turnovers and neutralizing Mora’s advantage on the glass.

“These guys got rattled,” said Mora head coach Mark Cassidy. “You look at kids’ eyes and you can see it, OK? They never recovered. We always have very good third quarters; that’s our quarter. And then we started playing tentatively.”

After committing just six miscues in the first half, the Rangerettes coughed it up 13 times in the final two quarters. Many of them led to transition points at the other end.

An 8-0 run to start the third quarter helped Hatch make it a onepossession game before the end of the period. After a Gerty Herrera baseline 3-pointer put Mora in front 36-29 with four minutes remaining, the Lady Bears responded with a 10-1 run to close things out.

Martinez tied it with a 3-pointer with two minutes left, then a stop at the other end set up Hatch’s extended final possession that took most of the final 90 seconds off the clock. That’s when Carson took a sloppy entry pass into the low post and was fouled with 1.9 seconds left.

Cassidy said nerves had a huge impact on his team — particularly on the glass as Hatch outrebounded Mora 13-9 in the second half.

“We were standing,” he said. “We weren’t playing. And it showed.”

The Rangerettes scored just nine points in the second half, going 3-for12 from the field.

“I think we just started panicking,” Herrera said.

“Once we made a few turnovers, that’s when things started to go down,” Pacheco said.

Cassidy traced the collapse to the first half when Martinez rattled home a pair of 3-pointers in the final three minutes of the second quarter.

Those buckets gave the Lady Bears life, allowing them to start chipping away at what was then a 25-10 ballgame.

“If you’re looking for a momentum swing, I think that was it,” said Hatch head coach Ben Trujillo. “Nothing we were doing was working and we needed something to get us going.”

Destiny Pacheco had a team-high 11 points for Mora. Eight of those came in the second quarter. Carmelita Padilla had 10, Herrera nine and Brianna Pacheco seven.

Carson had a game-high 13 for Hatch.

After the game, an emotional Cassidy questioned whether he was the right man to lead Mora’s, saying the team might need “new blood” to take that next step. Under his tutelage, the Rangerettes have been one of the winningest programs in AA. In recent years, however, they’ve stumbled badly in the postseason, losing early and often in seasons in which they were considered legitimate title contenders.

This marks the second straight quarterfinal exit for Mora, both of them coming in 8 a.m. games at the Star Center. He said he had placed an emphasis on getting over the hump by demanding improved defense, solid rebounding and mistake-free play on offense.

All three elements failed them in the second half of Tuesday’s game.

STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Hope: Will face Shiprock in semis Continued from Page B-5 second half to roll to a 57-40 victory and earn a berth in Thursday’s semifinals against unbeaten top seed Shiprock.

Hope freshmen Alivia Lewis and Hanna Valencia combined for 31 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Valencia — whom her coach jokingly refers to as a 12-year-old because of her smallish stature and youthful looks — scored all 12 of her points in the second half; four on driving layups through traffic, the other eight (8-for-8, in fact) from the free throw line.

“Everyone thinks like you said, 12 years old,” Valencia said. “But I do think I play with a chip on my shoulder.”

The two underclassmen were a big reason Hope completely controlled the second half. West Las Vegas scored just six points in the first 15 minutes the half, allowing a close game at halftime — the Lady Dons (20-9) led 28-26 at the break — to get completely out of hand by the final buzzer.

It was all part of what turned into a dark, miserable day for Santa Fearea teams in the AAA draw. No. 7 seed St. Michael’s allowed an eightpoint first half lead disintegrate in the second half in a loss to No. 2 Lovington, then No. 8 Las Vegas Robertson was hammered 59-32 by Shiprock.

The Lady Cardinals led briefly in the first quarter against the Lady Chieftains (28-0), but it was fleeting. Shiprock outscored Robertson 16-3 in the second quarter and eventually doubled Robertson’s score in the second half.

Thursday’s semifinals have HopeShiprock opposite an all-District 4AAA showdown between Portales and two-time defending state champion Lovington. Both games will be in The Pit. The Lady Dons were the 2AAA champions and seemed to have the right tools to make a run. For a half, that’s exactly what happened as West Las Vegas opened a six-point lead in the second quarter and led by a pair at halftime.

Bustos had nine points, leading a solid shooting half against Hope’s taller lineup.

Lady Huskies head coach Terry Heisey said the plan was simple in the second half. He wanted to build a lead and force West to change its game plan of crowding the paint.

“We got a six or eight point lead, then we spread the court,” Heisey said. “I didn’t think they could maybe handle our guards.”

He was right. Once the lead grew, so did the spacing on Hope’s end of the floor. That prevented West from clogging the lane, giving plenty of space for free passing and room to roam in the low post.

The Lady Huskies took the lead for good when Lewis hit a pair of free throws with 3:08 left in the third quarter to snap a 30-all tie. It was part of a bigger span in which Hope outscored West Las Vegas 10-2 by holding the Lady Dons without a field goal for nearly seven minutes.

“Once they got up they changed their defense on us and then made us work at the other end,” said Jose Medina, West Las Vegas head coach. “They took us out of our game, then we started missing shots and giving it up.”

At the end of her third year on

the West Las Vegas varsity, Bustos was hounded the entire second half

by Hope’s Brielle Milford, a freshman who has a four-inch height advantage.

“It’s hard to get my shot when someone that tall is on me and can stay in front,” Bustos said.

Still, Medina said he’d take Bustos over any other player out there.

“She’s like an assistant coach on the floor,” he said. “Right now, she’s the rock for our entire program.”

Finishing with eight points apiece for West Las Vegas were Celeste Trujillo and Joedy Quintana.

As for meeting Hope again in the future, Medina said the next two years with Bustos and the Hope freshmen going to head to head will be fun.

“Their best basketball is in front of them,” he said.

SFHS: ‘Big three’ helped win game Continued from Page B-5 about it, it’s just another game. Forget about it and just go play. Don’t do it for revenge and do it for the team,’” Herrera said. “That’s what we did.”

Santa Fe High looked like it was going to rid itself of the Roswell curse early, but it had a mere 39-37 lead with 6:00 left in the game.

It looked like a bad situation, but Santa Fe High’s confidence never wavered. As a matter of fact, the Demonettes never knew how close they came to losing to Roswell once again.

“To be honest, I don’t even remember,” Martinez said in regard to the two-point lead. “We don’t look at the scoreboard or the time. I didn’t look at the scoreboard until the end of the game and the final buzzer went off. That’s what all of us did, and I didn’t even know that they came that close.”

Santa Fe High coach Elmer Chavez had some starters on the bench when Roswell got close. Once he put his big three of Herrera, Martinez and junior post Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage back in the game, he knew he could rest easy.

“I got my girls back in there, so I thought I was OK,” Chavez said. “These three have been with me for the last three years, so I’m real confident with them. I think they know what they’re doing.”

In the first half, however, Roswell was the team with all the confidence. Santa Fe High outscored the Lady Coyotes 15-4 in the first quarter, but Roswell went on a 15-10 run in the second quarter to be down 25-19 at halftime.

Even though he never took the lead, Roswell head coach Joe Carpenter thought all the momentum was on his side.

“At halftime, I thought we were in good shape,” Carpenter said. “I thought we had a real good opportunity to win this game and win it by 10 or 12 [points].”

That prediction never came to fruition, as the Lady Coyotes were 8-for-21 from the field in the second half and were not given very many second-chance opportunities.

“They beat us to every loose ball and made everything — and we didn’t make anything,” Carpenter said.

“It was probably the worst my team has played in The Pit as far as all the little things. That’s poor coaching

right there, real poor coaching.”

Now that the Demonettes have that Roswell monkey off their back, it’s time to focus on the Lady Jaguars.

Santa Fe High did not play Valencia this year, but Chavez got a chance to see them beat No. 3 Albuquerque St. Pius X 61-53 on Tuesday morning.

“We’ll go home, prepare for them and be ready for them on Thursday,” Chavez said.

We don’t look at the scoreboard or the time. I didn’t look “ at the scoreboard until the end of the game and the final buzzer went off. That’s what all of us did, and I didn’t even know that they came that close.”

Jackie Martinez, Santa Fe High Demonettes

its first appearance in Albuquerque since losing 40-29 to Lovington in 2012, looked like the more seasoned group through the first 15 minutes of the game. Lovington committed nine turnovers and were a paltry 5-for-16 from the field.

The smaller Lady Horsemen (16-13) also outhustled their opponents on the glass, outrebounding them 16-12. The elixir to an eightpoint lead and hopes of avenging their loss two years ago was Cristiana Gabaldon. She buried three 3-pointers, including one at 2:21 of the second quarter that gave St. Michael’s an 18-12 edge.

The margin reached its zenith on Jocelyn Fernandez’s putback for 20-12. That’s when Lovington (24-4) started to stretch itself out — specifically, it stretched out the top part of its 2-3 zone defense to put pressure on the St. Michael’s guards. Gabaldon hit just one 3 in the second half and the Lady Horsemen hit just 4 of 21 shots in the second half.

Lady Wildcats head coach Jason Parrish said it was a necessity against a team that was intending on slowing the game down and forcing the Lady Wildcats to work hard on defense.

“They’ve had experience in extending that zone out, so I’m fine with it,” Parrish said. “They did a good job rotating. There are a lot of teams who can’t do that. They wouldn’t move, they’d get tired, they’d get lazy. And I’m telling the kids, ‘You better be here.’ ” Lovington was everywhere in the second half, and especially near the ball when it was bouncing on the floor. The Lady Horsemen struggled to make good entry passes into the heart of the zone and turned the ball over 10 times in the second half.

Six turnovers came in the third quarter as Lovington pecked away at a 20-14 halftime margin.

“When we did have entries, they were at our feet,” St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero said. “We had trouble handling that pass. It bothered us, and I think we had more turnovers than points in the second half.”

Meanwhile, the Lady Wildcats turned to their bench for a little boost in the form of Tayler Valencia.

The junior scored six straight points to turn a 20-17 deficit into a 22-21 lead with a 3 from the top of the key and a putback with 3:29 in the third. She finished with 10 points, trailing the 12 from Jeffery, as she continued to show a building confidence over the last month of the season.

“During practice not too long ago, coach Parrish told me, ‘You have everything. We just need to get you to start scoring,’ ” Valencia said. “I just started realizing during practice to start going to the hole and start shooting more.”

Lovington, meanwhile, went on a 24-5 burst that lasted into the fourth quarter on Juztice Perry’s drive in the paint with 3:36 left.

That was the team Jeffery remembers playing in The Pit.

play our hearts out.”

It was still 46-22 with 5:16 in the third when the comeback skipped a couple of gears and went into overdrive. The Lady Sundevils went 5-for-6 from the field during the 16-0 spurt and forced five Gallup turnovers. Trujillo, who finished with 27 points, scored seven points during the burst and her two free throws with 2:15 left made it 46-40.

That was when Gallup found its elixir in Martina Smiley. She hit two 3s and scored on a three-point play to help the Lady Bengals up the margin to 56-46 at :15.7 of the third.

It was enough to help stave off another Lady Sundevils run — this one by a 10-4 margin that got it to a four-point deficit. Momentum was finally halted by Livingston’s bucket and it redeemed a rough second half in which she sat on the bench for most of the Española run with four fouls.

“It took a lot of weight off my shoulder,” said Livingston, who finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

By Tantri Wija

For The New Mexican

A

grape begins its life struggling for existence on a scraggly-looking vine, fighting against chilly nights, pruning and not-quiteenough water to become as sweet as possible. Indeed, those very hardships are what give the grape its character.

If that grape is lucky, it is picked, pressed, fermented and then bottled as Gruet sparkling wine.

First of all, Gruet is New Mexican. It is made here here, bottled here, aged here and most of the grapes that go into it are grown here, and the company had a difficult and unassuming beginning in a trailer in Lordsburg.

The thing is, Gruet also is French — and not only French, but truly champaignoise.

Siblings Nathalie and Laurent Gruet, who moved from France in 1984 to develop land in Southern New Mexico for viticulture, were born and raised in Champagne, the region from which all sparkling wines must come if they are truly (and legally) allowed to be called “Champagne.”

At age 21, Nathalie Gruet, with a 4-monthold baby in tow, planted the first winery’s vineyards by hand with her brother and parents.

The Gruets, however, got off to a challenging start. “We lived in trailers for almost two years, and we didn’t speak English — that’s the best part. You don’t speak English, and you land in Lordsburg, N.M., in a trailer — you have to be young to want to do that,” Nathalie Gruet said. “There were setbacks.

When we first came here, we ordered plants, and the wrong plants arrived.”

The Gruets found the soil in Lordsburg to be unsuitable for their vines, so they moved the vineyard to Truth or Consequences, where “the soil is more sandy, more loamy and the roots go really deep to reach the water.”

Soon thereafter, the family moved the winery to Albuquerque (though the vineyards are still in Truth or Consequences).

“We didn’t know if we were going to stay in Albuquerque — everybody in New Mexico was drinking beer, the wine business was only starting,” she said. “It was rough, and we didn’t know if we were going to establish ourselves here.”

The Gruets doggedly set about traditional champaignoise wine production from that location. “I was doing everything — cleaning, cooking, hand-riddling — it’s a hard job to be in the wine business,” she said. “My brother works incredibly long hours, and he’s still the winemaker after all these years.”

Riddling, the process by which wine sediments are consolidated in the bottle, involves turning bottles on a rack by degrees once a week in various directions. It’s a tedious and methodical process that Nathalie Gruet grew up doing by hand in Champagne (and which now they thankfully can do by machine).

Gilbert Gruet, right, the father of Nathalie and Laurent Gruet, works in a vineyard in France in the mid-1980s.

we would do if we were in France. There are some slight differences from the soil, but the result is very close.”

And those results rival any sparkling wine made in France.

“When we made our blanc de blanc vintage,” Gruet said, “my brother took it to Champagne, to my dad. Someone decided to do a blind-wine tasting with the different French Champagnes, from Chandon and the big houses. My brother decided to play with them and put the blanc de blanc in from New Mexico. They thought it was from Champagne.”

25 years later From left, Isabelle, Nathalie, Laurent and Jacqueline Gruet.

The family business “My dad, Gilbert, started to make Champagne in France in 1952, and he spent all his life making Champagne, and that’s also what my brother was trained to do,” said Nathalie Gruet, who is the company’s president. “We started with the Gruet Brut and the Gruet Blanc de Noir, and then from there, we evolved. We grew a blanc de blanc vintage, then a demi sec that was a little bit sweeter, and we added some dry Champagne. And of course, [we have] vintages, sparkling wine that’s been aged for six years — Grand Rosé, Grand Reserves — those are our top-of-theline sparkling wines.”

At Gruet, the family does everything the way the French do it in Champagne, from grapes to cork. The only exception is that the Gruets control their grapes’ water supply, which vintners may not do in Champagne, but which is obviously a necessity in an increasingly dry desert climate.

“We hand-pick all our grapes — there are no machines involved in that process,” Gruet said. “For everything else, we use French equipment — exactly the same process that

By the mid-1980s, Gruet was producing 20,000 bottles by hand out of its small warehouse space. Now, the family produces 1.3 million bottles a year, and have 3 million currently aging in their warehouse, waiting to be shipped all over the country. “New Mexico is actually only our third-largest market in the U.S.,” Gruet said. “Our largest market fluctuates between New York and California. New York, California, New Mexico. Twenty-five years later, 1 out of 10 people in New Mexico drink Gruet. Isn’t that a great love story?”

In 2011, Gruet was listed in Wine Spectator as No. 43 of the top 100 best wines in the world, a lifetime accomplishment for wine makers. In 1989, exactly 25 years ago, the family released their first sparkling wine. For their 25th anniversary, Gruet will be releasing two new ones — a 25th anniversary non-vintage blanc de blanc and 25th anniversary vintage silver label blanc de blanc, or the “G-25.”

What Gruet has accomplished, essentially, is the democratization of sparkling wine.

“When we came to New Mexico, our goal was that everybody in New Mexico would drink our sparkling wine because first, it’s good, and second, it’s affordable,” Gruet said.

“The era when sparkling wine was only for the rich and famous, or for celebrations, is over. People should have sparkling wine all the time.”

Savory pastries — pies, tarts, quiches, tortas and the like — are so inherently appealing that it doesn’t really matter what you fill them with.

Even cabbage.

Now, I have always adored cabbage in all its many hues and guises. I’ll eat it cooked, fermented, marinated, even sliced raw with hot sauce and salt as a snack (try it before you knock it). But I am aware that my enthusiasm is not universally shared.

The easiest way to get everyone to appreciate cabbage is to wrap it in pastry and bake until golden brown. You can’t miss.

The reason this combination works so well is that much of the pleasure of any savory pastry lies in the warm, salty crust, which crumbles and flakes when you bite down. Then you hit the cabbage filling, which is soft and silky, slightly sweet from caramelized onions, and creamy from a hefty dose of grated fontina cheese. A handful of diced smoked ham, if you use it, adds a note of brawny complexity to the mix, but you wouldn’t miss it if you left it out.

This particular dough recipe is on the sturdy side, fortified with whole-wheat flour and rich with butter. It has enough structure on its own not to need a pie pan for support. I treat the pastry almost like a giant empanada, rolling it out, folding it over the filling, and baking it on a baking sheet for maximum browning. The pastry bakes up into a neat package that you can slice and eat out of hand, wrapped in a napkin, though a fork and plate are welcome, too.

CABBAGE AND ONION TORTA Total time: 1 hour 45 minutes, plus chilling, makes six to eight servings 475 grams all-purpose flour (4 cups) 60 grams whole wheat flour (½ cup) 12 grams kosher salt (about 2½ teaspoons), more as needed 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed ¼ cup olive oil, more as needed 1 large Spanish onion, halved and sliced (2½ cups) 1½ pounds Savoy or regular cabbage (1 small head), cored and sliced Black pepper, as needed 2 teaspoons cider vinegar, or to taste ⅓ cup dry breadcrumbs 5 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 1½ tablespoons thyme leaves 8 ounces fontina cheese, grated (2 cups) 2 ounces diced smoked ham such as speck (optional) 1 large egg yolk Preparation: To make the pastry, combine flours and 7 grams (11/2 teaspoons) salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Add 1 to 11/2 cups very cold water, working it in a few tablespoons at a time, until mixture just comes together. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and stir in cabbage, a handful at a time, waiting for each addition to wilt slightly before adding more. Season with 5 grams (1 teaspoon) salt and some pepper.

Cook until cabbage is tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and cook until evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Taste and add more salt, vinegar or both, as needed.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and stir in breadcrumbs, garlic and thyme. Cook until breadcrumbs begin to color, about 1 minute. Scrape into a bowl.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Oil a large baking sheet.

On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 17-by-12-inch rectangle. Transfer to the baking sheet. With the long side facing you, spread half the breadcrumbs evenly over right half of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with half the cheese, then cover cheese with half the cabbage mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle ham over the top if desired.

Dab edges of dough with water. Fold left half over filling and use the tines of a fork to seal edges. Brush crust with egg yolk. Using a knife, cut several slits in the center of the top crust.

Transfer pie to oven and bake until crust is golden brown and firm, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm, or reheat before serving.

My name is Barney. I’m 4 years old and I’m hoping for someone to take me home and love me! I’m full of happy energy and would love to have a companion to hike, jog, play fetch, and snuggle with. I prefer not to share my home with other dogs, and I’m a little fearful of the unpredictable behavior of toddlers, but older children and teenagers would be GREAT company for me. I have very good house manners, and I love to spend time inside with my family. I am neutered and have all my shots and a microchip.

Subject: U.S. DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES Provide the full name of the three-letter abbreviation. (e.g., HUD. Answer: Housing

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 50 years and once had a very enjoyable and compatible sex life, even though my husband didn’t want any children and refused to discuss it.

After 27 years of wedded bliss, my husband had major surgery.

He developed erectile dysfunction and became afraid of dying.

Our sex life ended. But he was depressed and began drinking heavily, especially when he retired early for health reasons.

Recently, while going through some paperwork, I came across a handwritten note with a great deal of sexual innuendo, and it was not directed at me. This totally shocked me. The note was written about 10 years ago.

I asked him to explain the note, and of course, he denied he wrote it and became very agitated, claiming he always has been faithful in our marriage.

After being an understanding wife all of these years, I now question whether he can be trusted. What should I do? He will never go to a marriage counselor. — Upset in Illinois Dear Upset: This note is 10 years old and doesn’t say very much. Your husband is not likely to admit to anything, and in fact, there may be nothing to confess.

Either forgive his failings and concentrate on the good marriage you claim to have, or get into counseling for yourself and decide what your next move is.

We think the note is not evidence of a betrayal, and you should let it go.

Dear Annie: My 50-year-old son was just divorced for the second time. I love both of his exes as friends, and they are nice women. But he told me that I am not to speak to them anymore.

I never thought his divorcing his wives meant they divorced the rest of the family. I love my son, but I don’t like his demand.

What is your advice?

— Nantucket

Dear Nantucket: We dislike it when people issue demands to others about who their friends can be. Are there grandchildren involved? If so, inform your son that it is necessary to maintain a civil relationship with his exes for the sake of the children.

Otherwise, determine what the consequences will be. If your son threatens to cut off contact with you if you communicate with his exes, you might choose to stop.

Dear Annie: I’m writing about the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose fiance broke off their engagement after he discovered that she kissed another guy while drinking and dancing in a bar.

Good for him. She is not ready to be married or in any type of committed relationship. She is selfish, disloyal and lacking in self-control.

In bars and clubs, the atmosphere is highly sexual, and in my opinion, just going there is a form of cheating because you’re looking to flirt. My guess is she did more than just kiss this guy, but that was the only part her fiance found out about. She probably doesn’t feel obligated to be more honest than that.

We have lost an understanding of what makes a true, loving relationship. It is built on trust, loyalty, sacrifice, kindness and a love that makes us want to protect our partner from hurt, a love that builds them up and gives them the confidence to be better.

“Heartbroken’s” fiance saw the writing on the wall. If he isn’t enough for her in the honeymoon stage of their relationship, how will she behave in five or 10 years, when their lives have fallen into the daily grind that happens in all long-term relationships?

What scares me the most is that she and so many others feel that what she did is no big deal.
