Judge opens wage-theft case to thousands of hospital workers Class-action lawsuit claims Santa Fe facility denied employees lunch breaks due to inadequate staffing

By Patrick Malone

The New Mexican

A Santa Fe judge granted classaction status Thursday to current and former employees at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in a lawsuit that accuses the hospital of stealing wages from workers by

denying their unpaid lunch breaks due to inadequate staffing.

“Basically, this is a time-theft case,” said Shane Youtz, the Albuquerque lawyer representing the plaintiffs. His clients claim they often worked through their scheduled 30-minute breaks, and they weren’t paid for that time.

Report: WIPP fire was preventable Investigators detail faulty safety culture at nuclear dump site

By Jeri Clausing

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Federal investigators have uncovered a series of shortcomings in safety training, emergency response and oversight at the troubled southeastern New Mexico nuclear waste dump where a truck caught fire and 17 workers were recently contaminated by a radiation leak.

A report released Friday on the investigation into the first of back-toback accidents at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad says a Feb. 5 truck blaze apparently was ignited by a buildup of oil and other combustible materials that should have been regularly cleaned off the vehicle. The truck also was operating without an automatic fire sup-

pression system, the Department of Energy report said. And one of several mistakes made in the chaotic moments that followed switched the filtration systems in the mine a halfmile underground and sent smoke billowing into areas where workers expected to have “good air.”

The report also identified problems with safety culture at the federal government’s only permanent repository for waste from the nation’s nuclear bomb-building facilities, and it said a series of repeat deficiencies identified by an independent oversight board had gone unresolved.

New Mexico Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich called the report “deeply concerning.”

“Fortunately, no one was hurt,” the Democrats said in a joint statement.

“The community of Carlsbad and the nation expect WIPP to operate with the highest level of safety. The board has identified a number of serious

Obama’s pledge to review deportations carries risks

By Jim Kuhnhenn

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s new promise to seek ways to ease his administration’s rate of deportations aims to mollify angry immigrant advocates but carries risks for a White House that has insisted it has little recourse.

In asking Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review enforcement practices, Obama could undo already fragile congressional efforts to overhaul immigration laws.

And he still could fall short of satisfying the demands of pro-immigrant groups that have been increasing pressure on him to dramatically reverse the administration’s record of

deportations.

The White House announced Thursday that Obama had directed Johnson, who was sworn in three months ago, to see how the Jeh Johnson department “can conduct enforcement more humanely within the confines of the law.” Then the president summoned 17 labor and immigration leaders to the White House Friday afternoon for what some participants described as a spirited discussion of his deportations policies and the strategy for enacting a comprehensive

MEDFORD, Mass. — Colleges are paying students to take a year off after high school to travel, volunteer or do internships so that students of all income brackets can benefit from “gap years.”

A new program at Tufts University and existing ones at a handful of other schools aim to remove the financial barriers that can keep cash-strapped students from exploring different communities and challenge their comfort zones before jumping right into college.

The gap year program starting this fall at Tufts will pay for housing, airfare and even visa fees, which can often add up to $30,000 or more.

Although gap years are more popular in Europe, they have started to gain

traction in the United States. About 40,000 Americans participated in gap year programs in 2013, an increase of nearly 20 percent since 2006, according to data gathered by a nonprofit called the American Gap Year Association.

In 2009, Princeton University began offering applicants gap-year aid based on need. Nearly 100 students have participated, volunteering in Brazil, China, India, Peru and Senegal.

The University of North Carolina offers $7,500 to gap year applicants, while students at Wisconsin’s St. Norbert College can receive financial aid based on need, although airfare isn’t covered.

Lydia Collins, a 19-year-old Tufts freshman from Evanston, Ill., said she took a gap year because she wanted to see what was outside of the classroom before committing to four more years of school.

“A lot of kids are very burnt out after high school,” Collins said. “Taking this time to be with yourself and

see yourself in a new community and light will only help you to succeed in college.”

Collins worked in microfinance in Ecuador through the poverty-fighting group Global Citizen and said the experience inspired her to pursue international relations, something she would not have known about beforehand.

Students who take part are able to see the world beyond the bubble they grew up in and return to school with a better perspective of their future, said Holly Bull, president of the Center of Interim Programs, which counsels students on taking gap years. Bull said the benefit of the structured time away from school is too valuable to exclude lower-income students.

“Students return to the classroom more focused, independent and confident,” said Bull, who took a gap year herself to Hawaii and Greece. She said the students also tend to have less trouble adjusting to dorm life.

In brief

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — In the nearly 40 years after he escaped from the maximum-security military prison at Fort Leavenworth, convicted killer James Robert Jones carved out a new life for himself in Florida, living under an assumed name, getting married and working for an air conditioning company.

It all came to an end this week when Jones — or Bruce Walter Keith, as the former Army private was known in Florida — was recaptured with the help of technology that was more sci-fi than reality when he broke out during the disco era: facial-recognition software.

Jones, 59, was one of the Army’s 15 most-wanted fugitives after his 1977 escape from the Kansas prison.

He was convicted of murder and assault in the 1974 killing of a fellow soldier at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

LOS ANGELES — Thousands of Los Angeles International Airport workers had no idea what to do when a gunman opened fire last year in a terminal because they were inadequately trained to deal with an emergency, according to a union report.

Members of SEIU United Service Workers West — sky caps, baggage handlers, wheelchair attendants and janitors — weren’t prepared for an evacuation, were hampered by poor communication and were essentially on their own during the chaos as panicked, fleeing passengers ran onto the tarmac and dove onto luggage conveyer belts. In some instances, passengers were left alone in wheelchairs during the Nov. 1 shooting that killed one airport screener and injured three others.

Many issues outlined in the union report and by the airport itself were identified as deficient in 2011 by a special panel of experts convened by the former mayor to review public safety at LAX.

New insurance rights for gay couples WASHINGTON — Addressing gay and lesbian concerns, the Obama administration Friday moved to expand health insurance access for same-sex couples and close a loophole that threatened to leave some HIV/AIDS patients without coverage. u Insurers offering spousal coverage for heterosexual couples must also provide it to legally married couples of the same gender. u Insurers cannot turn down HIV/ AIDS patients whose premiums are being paid through the federal Ryan White program.

The administration acted after gays and lesbians complained about confusing rules on spousal coverage in the new health insurance exchanges.

Malnutrition grows among Syrian refugee children

By Diaa Hadid

The Associated Press

KAB ELIAS, Lebanon rapped in her northern Syrian village by fighting, Mervat watched her newborn baby progressively shrink.

Her daughter’s dark eyes seemed to grow bigger as her face grew more skeletal. Finally, Mervat escaped to neighboring Lebanon, and a nurse told her the girl was starving.

The news devastated her. “They had to hold me when they told me.

I wept,” the 31-year-old mother said, speaking in the rickety, informal tent camp where she now lives with her husband in the eastern Lebanese town of Kab Elias.

Her daughter Shurouk has been undergoing treatment the past three months and remains a wispy thing. The 9-month-old weighs 7 pounds — though she’s become more smiley and gregarious.

Her case underscored how dramatically Syrian society has unraveled from a conflict that this weekend enters its fourth year.

Such stark starvation was once rare in Syria, where President Bashar Assad’s autocratic state ran a health system that provided nearly free care. That system, along with most other state institutions, has been shattered in many parts of the country where the fighting between Assad’s forces and the rebels trying to overthrow him is raging hardest.

The war has killed more than 140,000 people and has driven

nearly a third of the population of 23 million from their homes. Nearly half those displaced by the war are children.

Now aid workers believe starvation cases are increasing in besieged areas of Syria and malnutrition is spreading among the poorest Syrian refugees.

Before the conflict, doctors inside Syria would see fewer than one case a month of a child with life-threatening malnutrition, now they tell UNICEF they encounter 10 or more a week, said Juliette Touma, a Middle East regional spokesperson for the U.N. children’s agency.

In Lebanon, malnutrition grew from 4.4 percent in 2012 to 5.9 percent of Syrian refugee children, according to a recent UNICEF-led survey. An estimated 10,000 Syrian children in Lebanon are likely suffering malnutrition, said Dima Ousta of the International Orthodox Christian Charities, an NGO leading efforts to deal with the issue in Lebanon. UNICEF said nearly 2,000 were at risk of dying because of acute malnutrition.

A survey in Jordan found that 4 percent of Syrian refugee children under five needed treatment for malnutrition, the World Food Programme said on Monday.

Touma said UNICEF had not yet finished surveys for refugees in Turkey or inside Syria itself.

Malnutrition is the product of a series of ever-widening and interconnected problems. Within Syria, fighting in the worst hit areas can

limit access to food supplies and health care for children. Among refugees, children are vulnerable to illnesses from drinking dirty water or being exposed to sewage.

Those conditions can exacerbate malnutrition. The poverty and poor hygienic living conditions at the root of the problem are likely only to worsen as Syria’s war drags on. “Malnutrition is not an issue related to food. It’s a health issue,” said Zeroual Azzeddine of UNICEF. In Lebanon, nearly one million Syrians are registered as refugees by the U.N. refugee agency. The poorest 140,000 live in 460 informal camps, where they live with no clean running water and with sewage running down ditches between tents. Aid workers are trying to track down the thousands of malnourished children in Lebanon. UNICEF is training doctors to identify malnutrition among Syrian children undergoing immunizations and other medical checks.

Refugees must grapple with another problem. The U.N. and partner organizations only cover basic care because there’s not enough money. Syrian children with illnesses sometimes fall through the gaps — and because they are sick, they don’t eat, and malnutrition becomes a side-effect.

Mervat said her other children were often hungry because they had no money to buy food and relied on U.N. donations.

“I’m worried about them, I’m afraid of the future,” Mervat said.

SAN FRANCISCO — The U.S. government is relinquishing its control of the Internet’s address system in a shift that may raise questions about the future direction of online innovation and communications.

The decision announced Friday begins a long-planned transition affecting the stewardship of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. That’s a not-for-profit agency launched in 1998 by the Commerce Department to govern the system that assigns website addresses and directs Internet traffic.

The department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA, hopes to end its oversight of ICANN’s Internet Assigned Numbers Authority by the time its contract expires in September 2015. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority administers the technology that keeps computers connected to the Web and steers Internet traffic.

Proposals for a new ICANN stewardship will be accepted beginning next week at a conference in Singapore. Although it’s too early to tell how future oversight will be handled, the U.S. government appears determined to hand over the reins to an entity without political entanglements.

“We will not accept a proposal that replaces the NTAI’s role with a government-led or intergovernmental solution,” Lawrence Strickling, assistant secretary at the Commerce Department, told reporters.

That statement may ease concerns that oversight of ICANN will be turned over to International Telecommunications Union, which is part of the United Nations.

Although other countries have had a say in how the Internet works, the U.S. government retained veto power over ICANN. That role has fueled recurring debates about whether the U.S. government exerts too much influence.

Some Internet groups contend the U.S. government should remain in a supervisory position to prevent leaders in other countries with a history of suppressing free speech from trying to manipulate ICANN in a way that censors online communications.

“Without the U.S. government providing an effective backstop to ICANN’s original operating principles, there would be no mechanism in place to stop foreign governments from interfering with ICANN’s operations,” Daniel Castro, senior analyst for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, wrote in a Friday blog post.

Crimean premier promises fair vote

U.S., Russia talks fail to resolve Ukraine crisis

By Pamela Constable, Anne Gearan and Kathy Lally The Washington Post

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — Crimea’s de facto prime minister predicted confidently Friday that voters in the peninsula region of 2 million people will turn out en masse and choose to rejoin Russia in Sunday’s referendum, asserting that “we have the right to decide” Crimea’s political status.

Sergei Aksyonov, the leader of Crimea’s rightist Russian Unity movement, airily parried questions at a news conference, asserting that there had been no armed intimidation and no unfair barrage of pro-Russia propaganda as the vote approaches.

The annexation is popular within Crimea’s 60 percent ethnic Russian population but strongly opposed by its ethnic minorities.

“Where do you see any guns?” Aksyonov, 41, demanded at the event in the Crimean capital. Thousands of uniformed forces and civilian “self-defense” vigilantes that have flooded the region in the past two weeks, but the premier said they had been sent to protect public facilities from provocateurs. “Do you see anyone aiming a gun at you?” he added.

He also dismissed Western criticism of the referendum, asserting the exercise would be “fair and transparent” with an 80 percent turnout. He said that foreign observers were welcome.

The drumbeat of a wellfinanced official campaign continued to intensify throughout the capital. By Friday, every thoroughfare was lined with pro-Russia billboards. But on the quieter outskirts of the capital, hundreds of protesters lined up along a highway, holding up pro-Ukrainian banners and pale blue flags representing the Crimean Tatars.

Also on Friday in London, an eleventh-hour U.S. effort to resolve the growing confrontation with Russia over Ukraine failed, and Moscow shipped more troops and armor into the flash-point Crimea region ahead of a planned vote on breaking away from Ukraine and rejoining Russia.

Secretary of State John Kerry warned against a “backdoor annexation” by Russia of the strategic Black Sea peninsula. But Kerry conceded that six hours of talks here with Russia’s top diplomat neither stopped Sunday’s vote nor opened a new diplomatic path for Moscow to step back from the Cold War-tinged standoff.

The most significant U.S. and European sanctions against Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union appeared all but certain.

“We don’t have a common vision of the situation,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after the crisis talks.

No agreements were reached, Lavrov told reporters. He stressed that Russia insists on Crimea’s right to hold the referendum. He said Russia would decide after the vote on how to respond.

MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370

Radar shows jet shifted path more than once

By Michael Forsythe and Michael S. Schmidt

250 mi

The New York Times

MYANMAR VIETNAM

250 km

SEPANG, Malaysia — Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 experienced significant changes in altitude after it lost contact with ground control, and it altered its course more than once as if still under the command of a pilot, U.S. officials and others familiar with the investigation said Friday.

Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appeared to show that the missing airliner climbed to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and turned sharply to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.

The radar track, which the Malaysian government has not released but says it has provided to the United States and China, showed the plane then descended unevenly to 23,000 feet, below normal cruising levels, as it approached the densely populated island of Penang, one of the country’s largest. There, officials believe, the plane turned from a southwest-bound course, climbed to a higher altitude and flew northwest over the Strait of Malacca toward the Indian Ocean.

Investigators have also examined data transmitted from the plane’s Rolls-Royce engines that showed it descended 40,000 feet in the span of a minute, according to a senior U.S. official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would likely have taken longer to fall such a distance.

“A lot of stock cannot be put in the altitude data” sent from the engines, one official said. “A lot of this doesn’t make sense.”

The data, while incomplete and difficult to interpret, could still provide critical new clues as investigators try to determine what happened on Flight 370, which disappeared early March

8 carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Malaysian and international investigators have said in recent days that the plane may have departed from its northerly route toward Beijing and headed west across the Malay Peninsula just after the aircraft disappeared from civilian radar.

The plane also is now thought to have continued flying for more than four hours after diverting its course, based on automated pings sent by onboard systems to satellites.

But the Malaysian military radar data added significant new information about the flight immediately after ground controllers lost contact. The combination of altitude changes and at least two significant course corrections could have a variety of explanations, including that a pilot or a hijacker diverted the plane or that it flew unevenly without a pilot after the crew became disabled.

Because the plane stopped transmitting its position about 40 minutes after takeoff, military radar recorded only an unidentified blip moving through Malaysian airspace.

But the person who examined the data said it leaves little doubt that the airliner flew near or through the southern tip of Thailand, then back across Peninsular Malaysia, near the city of Penang, and out over the sea again.

That is in part because the data is based on signals

“It is extremely difficult for an aircraft to physically, however heavy it might be, to free fall,” he said.

An Asia-based pilot of a Boeing 777-200, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said an ascent above the plane’s service limit of 43,100 feet, along with a depressurized cabin, could have rendered the passengers and crew unconscious and could be a deliberate maneuver by a pilot or hijacker.

Other experts said that altitude changes would be expected if the pilots became disabled after the plane’s autopilot was disengaged.

Hospital: Court will notify those eligible to join Continued from Page A-1 lem that is significant enough that all current and former employees will be notified,” Youtz said.

The ruling is the latest development in a long-running feud between employees at Christus St. Vincent and hospital administration over staffing levels.

Last year, union employees at Christus complained to the state Department of Health that staffing was inadequate. A subsequent investigation cleared the hospital, but employees argued that staffing was stronger than usual at the time the state conducted its review.

The Santa Fe City Council recently authorized a study group to review health care in the community, including staffing levels at Christus. Nurses have unsuccessfully pushed for legislation that would require hospitals to publicly announce their staffing levels, and earlier this week, Gov. Susana Martinez vetoed a provision in the

state budget that would have provided $100,000 to the Department of Health to post staffing levels online.

Following Thursday’s ruling, the court will mail notices within 30 days to employees eligible to join the suit — including nurses, direct-care providers, technical employees and service and maintenance staff, excluding supervisors. The case is next scheduled on Singleton’s docket in the fall, though no trial date has been set.

Youtz said he aims to prove the practice of denying lunch breaks to employees was fostered at the highest levels of the hospital’s corporate administration.

“We will establish that the hospital didn’t just know about it, they encouraged it,” he said. “The evidence establishes that it was a corporate culture focused on revenue and the bottom line, and this appeared as a way to cut labor costs — illegally, but as a way to cut labor costs. The evidence will

show they yielded to that temptation.”

Because the suit is ongoing, Christus spokesman Arturo Delgado said Friday that the hospital’s administration would reserve comment about it, except to point out that the judge had found the lunch policy in place at the hospital to be lawful.

Youtz said the policy, which sets aside scheduled lunch breaks for employees, was not followed because insufficient staffing makes it impractical for workers to take their scheduled breaks.

Plaintiffs are seeking damages equivalent to three times their lost wages. Youtz said it’s difficult to quantify how much it could cost the hospital if plaintiffs prevail, considering it’s not clear how many eligible employees will join the suit, what their wages were or how many lunches they skipped.

He used the example of a nurse earning $40 an hour to frame how costly a judgment against St. Vin-

cent could be.

“If a nurse makes $40 an hour and should have been paid the overtime rate of $60, every missed half-hour lunch is $30,” Youtz said. “That’s a lot of lunches times $30 times three, so the liability could be substantial.”

Some nurses at Christus say the wage lawsuit illuminates a staffing shortage that not only forced them to work through their lunch hours, but can compromise the level of care for patients.

“This problem, the nurses believe, is indicative of the staffing problems,” Youtz said. “They didn’t staff the hospital in such a manner as to account for lunch breaks, which in the nurses’ opinion is emblematic of the bigger problem of staffing at the hospital.”

WIPP: N.M. senators call findings ‘concerning’ Continued from Page A-1 safety concerns that will need to be fully addressed. We believe all levels of management at the Department of Energy and at WIPP must take the recommendations from the board very seriously and fully implement them. “ Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican whose district includes the plant, applauded the DOE for a transparent report that highlights “the sloppy procedures that caused the fire.”

An investigation of a radiation release nine days later that contaminated 17 workers and sent toxic particles into the air around the plant is expected to be complete in a few weeks. At this point, officials say they are unsure if the fire and the radiation release are related. The mine has been shuttered since the Feb. 14 release, but investigators hope to be able to get below next week to see what happened.

The accidents are the first major incidents at the repository, which began taking radioactive waste 15 years ago.

Just hours before the report on the truck fire was previewed at a community meeting Thursday evening, the contractor that runs the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant demoted the facility’s president.

At the community meeting, the DOE official who led the investigative team, Ted Wyka, said the fire probably started about 30 minutes before the driver saw the orange glow from the engine compartment and tried to put it out. But the automatic fire-suppression system that might have detected the heat earlier was not active, Wyka said, and the systems activated by the driver didn’t work.

Wyka praised the 86 workers who were underground when the fire started at about 11 a.m. Feb. 5 for their response. But he said a number of systems failed. For example, he said emergency strobe lights were not activated for five minutes, not all workers heard the evacuation announcement and workers had trouble using their emergency air canisters. One worker also switched the air system from normal to filtration made, which sent smoke billowing through the tunnels.

Six workers were treated for smoke inhalation after the fire.

“We were pretty lucky that day,” he said. “… Despite all the safety systems that sort of let them down, the workforce down in the mine that day was very calm, collected and in many ways heroic.”

Wyka said the workers “did everything they could” to notify colleagues to get out, even before the evacuation alarm sounded. “Some stayed behind to make sure everyone got in the elevator to get out.”

The biggest lesson, he said, is about the mindset at the site.

“This is not just a mine, not just an operating nuclear facility — this is both,” Wyka said, noting that trucks used in the part of the mine where waste is hauled are kept much cleaner than the old trucks used to haul salt underground, where massive waste storage rooms are being dug a half-mile into the 2,000-foot thick ancient Permian Sea bed. They also have active fire-suppression systems. The truck that caught fire was hauling salt for removal from the mine.

Joe Franco, who runs the Department of Energy’s site office at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, choked up as he addressed the meeting, telling the community that at first, he took the findings personally.

“It’s one of those things, being part of the family, one of those things that’s a little tough,” he said. “But I think what’s important [is] we definitely got away with not … having anyone seriously hurt. So we need to learn from that. It is what I wanted to hear, and I wanted the truth. We don’t need any sugarcoating.”

Tufts University Freshman Lydia Collins, 19, took a year after high school and worked in Ecuador through Global Citizen. Hoping to remove the financial barriers that keep cashstrapped students from taking a year off after high school to travel or volunteer, Tufts is launching a gap-year program this fall that will pay for housing, airfare and even visa fees, which can add up to $30,000 or more per student. ELISE AMENDOLA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gap: Proponents of year off say experience helps ease transition Continued from Page A-1 Jeremy Rotblat, a 19-yearold Princeton freshman from Cherry Hill, N.J., said his experience volunteering at a hospital in Senegal better prepared him for college.

“This experience taught me that everything I learn in the classroom will be able to help me when I leave Princeton,” Rotblat said. “It is easy at times to question the purpose behind all the schoolwork.

But seeing the value firsthand encourages me to push myself academically.”

Students selected for Tufts’

1+4 program will be able to defer their admission for a year while still remaining tied to the university through video chat and email. Tufts is planning to work with organizations including Global Citizen, City Year and Lift — which offer volunteering positions in areas such as education, economics, health and the environment — to create packages that fit students’ financial needs, including travel and living costs.

Patrick Callan, founding president of the National Center for Public Policy and

Higher Education, applauds the gap year experience but said structure is key.

“Sometimes, for less motivated students, taking a year off could lead to them never coming back,” he said, adding that students that go in without concrete goals can be sidetracked from their studies. “You need to come in having a plan.”

For Collins, working in a foreign country away from her family and friends was a reality check.

“After that experience,” she said, “I can definitely take on college. It’s nothing now.”

Feds propose new college regulations Rules would penalize programs that don’t adequately position grads to pay off school loans

By Philip Elliott

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The for-profit college industry says it will vigorously oppose proposed regulations by the Obama administration designed to protect students at for-profit colleges from amassing huge debt they can’t pay off.

The proposed regulations would penalize career-oriented programs that produce graduates without the training needed to find a job with a salary that will allow them to pay off their debt. Schools, for-profit or not, that don’t comply would lose access to the federal student aid programs.

“Career-training programs offer millions of Americans an opportunity they desperately need to further their education and reach the middle class,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan told reporters Thursday. “Today, too many of these programs fail to provide students with the training that they need at taxpayers’ expense and the cost to these students’ futures.”

If finalized, the regulations would take effect in 2016.

In 2012, the for-profit colleges convinced a judge that similar regulations were too arbitrary.

Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, said in a statement that the proposed regulations would “deny millions of students the opportunity for higher earnings.” His association argues that the regulations would have a long-term impact on the nation’s ability to

address workforce demands and improve the economy, and he called the proposed regulations “discriminatory” and “punitive.”

For-profit programs are popular among nontraditional students, some of who have been laid off during the economic downturn.

“The government should be in the business protecting opportunity not restricting it,” Gunderson said. He said no decision has been made on whether more legal action will be taken.

The administration has long sought to block federal student aid from programs that do not prepare students for “gainful employment” in a recognized occupation. The programs covered under the proposed regulations include nearly all programs at for-profit schools, as well as certificate programs at public and private nonprofit institutions, such as community colleges, according to the Education Department.

Duncan said for-profit colleges can receive up to 90 percent of their revenue from federal financial aid programs. If blocked from participating, some could be forced to close, he said.

“Some of these programs — whether public, private or for-profit — empower students to succeed by providing high-quality education and career training. But many of these programs, particularly those at for-profit colleges, are failing to do so,” the Education Department said in a fact sheet.

On Capitol Hill, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said he was concerned that the proposed regulations don’t go far enough in protecting students.

But Republicans criticized the administration’s actions and said low-income students would be disproportionately affected.

Review: Advocates say Obama needs to act swiftly Continued from Page A-1 congressional overhaul of immigration laws.

“The president displayed a great deal of sympathy for the families affected by the deportation machinery,” Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice, said after the nearly two-hour session. “There was less agreement on when and what should be done about it by the president.”

Participants emerged from the meeting unified in their call for House Republicans to act on immigration legislation. Privately, some said Obama voiced frustration during the meeting with the criticism some of them have directed at him, including calling him “deporter in chief.”

Republican House Speaker John Boehner’s office pointedly warned that fixes to the immigration system should be carried out by Congress, not by the president on his own. The Democratic-controlled Senate last year passed a comprehensive bill that would enhance border security and provide a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million immigrants who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas. But the Republican-held House has delayed action and favors a more piecemeal approach.

“There’s no doubt we have an immigration system that is failing families and our economy, but until it is reformed through the democratic process, the president is obligated to enforce the laws we have,” Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said. “Failing to do so would damage — perhaps beyond repair — our ability to build the trust necessary to enact real immigration reform.”

But immigrant advocates insisted Obama needs to act promptly and broadly to reduce deportations, which have reached nearly 2 million during his presidency.

The White House has pointed to the high level of deportations as evidence that Obama is paying heed to border security, a Republican priority.

In testimony before Congress last week, Johnson said the deportations meet Immigration and Customs Enforcement priorities by focusing on criminals or suspicious individuals who could pose national security and public safety threats.

But he also acknowledged that a large number of immigrants arrested and turned back at the border are also counted as deportations even though previous administrations have not.

Still, pro-immigration groups say deportations have broken up families and forced otherwise law-abiding foreigners out of the country.

Sharry said his message to the president was: “Go bold, go big, go now.”

“The president has the ability to step into the vacuum created by the House Republican inaction to protect millions of people who are low priority, use his executive authority in an expansive way,” he said.

In the face of such pressure, including public heckling, Obama has time and again insisted that he must follow the law and the only way to reduce deportations is through legislation passed

by Congress.

White House officials on Friday downplayed the ability of the administration to take unilateral steps that would greatly reduce deportations, and some conceded that the results of the review were not likely to satisfy all advocacy groups.

Still, White House spokesman Jay Carney finetuned Obama’s past declarations that executive action was out of the question, leaving the door open for Obama to take some unilateral steps.

“The president understands and is concerned about the pain caused by separations that have come about through deportation, but he also understands and has made clear that there’s no comprehensive fix here that he can himself enact,” he said.

Following the meeting, the White House said Johnson, who attended the session in the White House’s Roosevelt Room, committed “to ensure our immigration laws are enforced effectively, sensibly, and in line with our nation’s traditions as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.”

It was unclear what steps the administration would take. It has already acted on its own to keep young people who were brought to the U.S. illegally from being deported, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency issued a memorandum in 2011 setting priorities for deportation that put an emphasis on persons suspected of terrorism, convicted of crimes or having participated in gang activities. Immigrant advocates say that guidance has been followed sporadically.

“I would take a look at why that memorandum has not worked as intended,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., a leading voice in the immigration overhaul effort tin the House and one of several lawmakers who wrote to Obama asking him to review his administration’s deportation policies.

“The president doesn’t have limitless authority in this arena,” she said. “But he has more authority than he has yet used.”

Asked if simply applying the 2011 guidelines more uniformly would satisfy critics of Obama’s deportation policies, Sharry said: “The answer is no. The fact is you have many immigrant-led groups that are calling for immediate suspension of deportations.”

The National Immigration Law Center has called on the administration to make sure the 2011 guidelines are followed and has further proposed that agents who do not follow the policies be held accountable. It also calls for strict application of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement directive from last August that called for using discretion in the deportation of parents or caretakers of minors who are U.S. citizens or legal residents.

That is far from a universal view on Capitol Hill.

“It is astonishing that the president would order an ‘enforcement review’ not for the purposes of repairing enforcement but weakening it further,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a leading opponent of allowing immigrants in the U.S. illegally to stay. “This latest action further demonstrates that the administration cannot be trusted to enforce any immigration plan from Congress.”

advisers suggested 14 Cabinet-level agencies could be condensed into seven: Defense, State, Justice, Treasury, Human Resources, Natural Resources and Economic Policy.

Clinton’s advisers also suggested a 25 percent cut in congressional staff, a congressional and presidential pay freeze and a constitutional amendment that would allow states to limit members of Congress to 12 years in office.

Days before the elections, four Clinton advisers wrote that the “public is now more disillusioned, more embittered, than it was in November 1992,” that the “‘mad-as-hell’ atmosphere is not a flash in the pan, but a fireball in the night.”

The documents also provide glimpses into other chapters of Clinton history.

In the aftermath of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, domestic policy adviser Bruce Reed urged his colleagues to be ready to respond if more violence broke out.

“Disaster will strike sometime in the Clinton Presidency, even if it doesn’t happen this spring in L.A.,” Reed wrote in March 1993.

Not all the documents are so serious.

Draft remarks for a 1996 Clinton speech in Portland, Ore., included a pronouncer for “macarena,” a dance crazed that was embraced by Gore.

The papers also provide examples of the outsized flattery that sometimes flies in all directions among power brokers.

In March 1993, a researcher told Clinton political director Rahm Emanuel, now Chicago’s mayor, that former House Speaker Tip O’Neill was “deeply touched” by a video tribute that Clinton had recorded for O’Neill’s birthday party. “He said Clinton may turn out to be the best President since FDR,” wrote communications researcher Carter Wilkie.

LOCAL NEWS Police: Youth center vandals hit city park Evidence ties damage to fences, fields at Alto Street park to crashed vehicle stolen from facility for homeless teens

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Santa Fe police suspect the vandals who ransacked a west-side resource center for homeless teens and damaged some vehicles there also used a stolen station wagon to tear up Bicentennial Park on Alto Street late Wednesday night.

Gary Varela, city parks superintendent, said thousands of dollars worth

of damage was discovered Thursday morning at the park between Alto Street and the Santa Fe River. He said someone drove a vehicle through a baseball field and damaged the fence surrounding it in four different places. Additionally, a fence near the park’s “tot lot,” a playground for small children, was damaged.

Varela said the field is still usable, but it will cost thousands of dollars to replace the damaged fences. He said

his crews should finish the repairs by next week.

Celina Westervelt, a spokeswoman for the police department, said police believe the park incident is likely related to the vandalism and theft of a vehicle at the nonprofit Youth Shelters Resource Center, 402 St. Francis Drive.

According to police reports, vandals broke into the building on the corner of Agua Fría Street and

St. Francis Drive late Wednesday.

Once inside, the intruders scattered food and feces, damaged computer equipment and tagged the walls with graffiti. Police said the culprits then stole one of the nonprofit’s vehicles and crashed it in the 1500 block of Camino La Cañada, but not before running into several cars in the neighborhood.

Christmas killings go to jury

Defense says teen was protecting younger brother; state portrays thug with gun, gang ties

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

C

losing arguments Friday in Joe Rivera’s doublehomicide trial capped an emotional week for friends and family of the defendant and his victims. Parents of all the men involved in the incident openly wept during testimony.

The defendant’s father sat in the back row of the gallery, looking at baby pictures of his son on his cellphone.

An hour after getting the case late Joe Rivera Friday afternoon, jurors asked to go home. When they return Saturday, they will continue discussing the evidence against Rivera, who was 18 when he shot and killed John Griego, 23 and Nicholas Baker, 29 outside Griego’s home at a Christmas Day party in 2012.

Rivera admits to killing the men but claims he was defending himself and his brother, then 16, after the host and another adult man at the party attacked his brother. The jury was instructed Friday to decide if Rivera is guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter, or to find that he is not guilty because he acted in selfdefense or defense of another.

Rivera’s story, as presented by his attorney, David Silva, is that he was unarmed when he went to the party. Silva said two older men tried to prevent Rivera and his brother from leaving, a scuffle broke out, and then he picked up a gun dropped by someone else during that conflict and shot the two men.

Prosecutors Susan Stinson and Juan Valencia painted a different

picture for jurors, one that portrayed Rivera as a young thug who attended the party with a pistol in his pants and sought respect at the end of a gun when tensions rose over southside versus west-side alliances. The dispute was ignited over a $50 bottle of rum Rivera’s female companion had purchased from Griego.

Over five days, jurors heard hours of testimony from the teenagers who attended the party with Rivera, including those present when the shooting occurred, forensics scientists, ballistics experts and doctors.

They also listened to phone calls Rivera made from the jail, watched recorded interviews with the suspect and viewed sometimes gruesome images of the crime scene and the bodies of the victims.

In her closing arguments, Stinson reminded jurors that Rivera fled the scene that night, allegedly disposed of the gun and the clothing he had

been wearing, hid from law enforcement for six days before being apprehended and asked family members via telephone to “pump fear” into potential witness while he was in jail awaiting trial.

Stinson also highlighted expert testimony that suggested Rivera’s second shot was fired when Griego lay bleeding in the snow outside his home.

“Someone who is truly innocent doesn’t act in those ways,” she said.

“This is not a scared young kid without a weapon. “This is a young man who did have a weapon. He carried a gun and he used it, and in the process he killed two people.”

In his closing statements, Silva reminded jurors that Rivera and his brother were both short, slim, teenagers, while Griego and Baker were grown men, each around 6 feet tall.

Silva said Rivera was “approached in a threatening manner” and “had no time to cool off or think.” He pan-

icked and “did what an older brother should do. He went in to protect his younger brother.”

Silva also stressed inconsistencies in the testimony of the teenage witnesses — especially that of Leroy Romero, the only witness who claims to have seen Rivera pull the gun from his pants and shoot Baker in the chest. Romero admitted to lying police twice and to lying under oath during a pre-trial hearing in the case last July.

Silva reminded jurors that it’s up to the state to prove Rivera’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The jury is scheduled to resume deliberations at 9 a.m. Saturday. The First District Courthouse is normally closed on Saturday, but District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco said Friday that members of the public following the case will be allowed to enter.

Former House hopeful misunderstood districts

By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

The woman who filed nominating petitions to run against New Mexico House Speaker Kenny Martinez of Grants withdrew her candidacy Friday, saying she had entered the race by mistake.

Nicole Shult, 29, submitted paperwork to the secretary of state to challenge Martinez in the June Democratic primary election.

Then Shult reversed course and asked to be pulled off the ballot. She said in an interview that she was confused about which House district she lives in, and that she never intended to run against Martinez.

A resident of Bluewater in Cibola County, Shult filed to run in District 69, which is the speaker’s district.

“My intention this whole time was to submit my petitions for District 6,” she said. District 6 is represented

by Democrat Eliseo Alcon of Milan, whose district borders Martinez’s.

Had Shult checked her voter registration, she would have seen that she lives in Martinez’s district.

Bobbi Shearer, director of the Bureau of Elections for the secretary of state, said Shult submitted her petitions in person. Shult initially listed District 6 on the forms.

But when told by the election staff that she actually lived in District 69, Shult went ahead and filed for that race.

“There was a lot going on,” Shult said. “It was a mistake.”

Shult received many mentions in this week’s political coverage for her nascent campaign as an unknown challenging one of the state’s most powerful politicians.

Shult said Friday that the speaker has her backing.

“I would love to serve my community someday,” she said. “However, at this time I want to continue to support our state representative for District 69, Ken Martinez.”

Democrats have a 37-33 advantage in the House of Representatives.

Martinez, free of an election challenge, will be able to focus on helping his candidates in the dozen races that both Democrats and Republicans see as crucial to controlling the House.

With Shult’s withdrawal, Martinez becomes the 26th House member who does not have an opponent in either the primary or general election.

Fired state police officer in Taos won’t get job back A former state police officer who appealed his termination for shooting at a minivan full of children in Taos will not get his job back, a state official said Friday.

Elias Montoya, who was fired in December after an internal investigation into his use of force in the October incident, recently reached a settlement with the state, but a state statute allows details of settlements of claims negotiated by the state Risk Management Division to remain undisclosed for six months, Elias General Services Montoya Department spokesman Tim Korte said.

Although state police and Department of Public Safety officials earlier hadn’t responded to inquiries about whether Montoya was granted his request for reinstatement as a police officer, Korte said in an email Friday, “Elias Montoya has not come back to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, and there are no plans for him to do so. By law, we are prohibited from discussing details of the settlement.”

He explained that the Risk Management Division cannot disclose any information related to claims for damages or other relief against the state until 180 days, once certain conditions have been met.

Carriage: Lack of roads a driver’s headache Continued from Page A-6 and disturbed the city’s heretofore tranquil environment.

It also gave off unfamiliar gas fumes, which some people thought might be a threat to health.

As Dodson chugged through the streets, pedestrians made fun of his car, calling it a Devil wagon or a buzz wagon. A newspaper claimed that the thing was “cussed more than admired.”

For two years, Dodson remained the sole owner of a motorcar in Albuquerque. He campaigned tirelessly to convince fellow citizens that the automobile age was at hand.

At one point, the City Council debated passing a law prohibiting buzz wagons from using municipal streets.

Gradually, the tide shifted, and people all over New Mexico began buying automobiles. They had a bewildering variety of makes from which to choose — more than 100 different kinds. They included the Thomas Flyer, Sterns, Columbia, Pierce Arrow, Pope Toledo, Baker Electric, Stevens Duryea and, of course, the Ford.

In those days, it cost $1.50 to get a driver’s license, which was issued by New Mexico city governments, not the territorial government. The auto registration fee was also modest, a mere $2.

By 1911, about 900 cars were registered in New Mexico. but drivers still had their troubles.

the Rio Grande Valley often resulted in several flats. The first lesson learned by novice motorists was to carry a repair kit.

Banker M.W. Flourney had a secondhand Winton shipped to him by train from New York. On

its first run, the Winton broke down outside town, and Flourney, totally humiliated, was obliged to hire a team of oxen to tow him home.

Lack of suitable roads presented another headache. Travelers between Santa Fe and Las

Cruces could count on spending many hours digging their stuck autos out of the sand.

The New Mexico Legislature took a hand by appropriating funds to build an automobile road from the southern border at El Paso through Albuquerque and Santa Fe, to Raton Pass on the northern boundary.

Colorado and Wyoming agreed to join the project, providing a connecting link all the way to Cheyenne.

The new route became known as the “Cheyenne to El Paso Trail.” By 1911, the New Mexico section boasted concrete culverts, bridges and guard chains on the sections with steep mountain curves.

In little more than a decade after J.L. Dodson had struggled down from Denver in his Locomobile, the unmarked wagon trail he followed had become a modern highway. And a half century later, the total number of vehicles built in the United States had passed the 200 million mark.

The automobile, among its many consequences, ended rural isolation. That fact, above all, brought swift change to the Southwest’s wide-open spaces.

And the desert country has not been the same since.

Now in semi-retirement, author Marc Simmons wrote a weekly history column for more than 35 years. The New Mexican is publishing reprints from among the more than 1,800 columns he produced during his career.

Panel: Extend oil moratorium

Peanut plant to be auctioned

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — The San Miguel County Commission is being urged to slow work on a proposed ordinance on oil and gas drilling.

The Planning and Zoning Commission says it’s not ready to address perceived shortcomings in the proposed ordinance and that a moratorium on exploration should be extended for another two years.

The moratorium has been in effect for more than three years.

The Las Vegas Optic reports that the planning panel presented its recommendation to the proposed ordinance to the commission Tuesday.

County Attorney Jesus Lopez says the moratorium can be extended if it’s done for sound public policy reasons and done reasonably.

The ordinance currently being considered would allow drilling in the eastern part of the county, though it attempts to prohibit drilling near rivers or streams.

PORTALES — A New Mexico peanut-butter processing plant that went bankrupt after a salmonella outbreak shuttered its operations and prompted a nationwide recall last year is headed to the auction block.

The reserve price for all bidders in Thursday’s auction is $18.5 million. That’s the amount California-based Ready Roast

Nut Co. already has offered to buy the defunct Sunland Inc. plant. The sale seemed imminent when a bankruptcy trustee backed Ready Roast’s offer. But the Clovis News Journal reports another potential buyer has emerged.

A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge has scheduled a hearing Friday to accept or reject the best bid in the auction.

Sunland attorneys had valued the company’s total assets at $50 million when it sought bankruptcy protection last fall.

It owes its three major secured creditors about $14 million.

3. Trim the end of the white carnation’s stem to create a fresh cut.

4. Place the carnation into the cup.

5. Check the flower after a few hours.

6. Check after 24 hours.

Next, add a variable, or something that will change in the experiment. In this case you change the color of the water.

Then you can compare the control flower to the flower in the colored water (the variable).

Here are some other questions you could ask: What happens if you split the stem of the carnation and put one side of it in plain water and the other side in colored water?

What happens if you colored the water with KoolAid instead of food coloring?

Most plants “drink” _____ from the ground through their ______. As water in the ________ petals evaporates, water is pulled up by the _______ of the plant— like sucking water up a straw. The water _________ up the stem of the plant into the ________ and flowers. When a flower is cut, it no longer has its roots, but the stem of the flower still “_______” up the water.

What happens if you put the carnation into soda instead of water?

What happens if you put the carnation into salt water?

sequence for a certain behavior problem and the behavior does not improve, the thing to do is stay the course. Continue using the proper consequence. Unfortunately, at that point, most parents begin an increasingly frustrated search for a consequence that will solve the problem. In so doing, they run the risk of beginning to zig-zag all over the disciplinary playing field.

Most adults, if they look back on their childhoods, will realize that they developed misbehaviors that no consequence on God’s green Earth would have stopped them from doing. We all develop misbehaviors during childhood that we carry into our adult lives.

Our parents’ best efforts to help us solve these problems failed.

We had to come to grips with them as adults. We had to take full responsibility for them and purge them from our lives.

The second thing I need to tell you is that talking impulsively

and not keeping one’s hands to oneself is a symptom of “boy.”

When all is said and done, and despite the fact that they are inappropriate to a classroom setting, they are not serious problems. He is not doing anything malicious or pre-sociopathic.

Unfortunately, schools have lost tolerance for “boy.” They hold boys to a female standard of behavior, which is one reason why lots more boys than girls are diagnosed with the disorders referred to above.

So, you’re doing fine. Just stay the course. Keep in mind that your job is not to correct all of his problems before he becomes an adult. You can’t, and the attempt to do so will drive you nuts. Look around you. There are lots of moms who are driving themselves nuts trying to raise perfect kids. Right? Right. Don’t go there.

My little angel’s first trip to church

Author adds something new to haiku

By Shani George

The Washington Post

The Washington Post

You may have learned about a form of short poem called haiku.

Perhaps you were asked to write one using the five-seven-five formula: one line of five syllables, one line of seven syllables and a final line of five syllables.

Jon J. Muth wants to free would-be haiku writers from the limitations of five-seven-five.

The children’s author and illustrator tells kids that Japanese, the language of original haiku, has sound parts that are different from English syllables.

With Japanese haiku, “sometimes the first line will be just one word,” Muth said.

So for his new book, Hi, Koo: A Year of Seasons, he ignored the poetry rule he was taught in school.

Eating warm cookies on a cold day is easy.

This poem — and 25 other haiku in the picture book — take Koo the panda and two young friends through the seasons.

There’s no story, just moments captured in a few words alongside Muth’s gentle watercolors. The first page of Summer features the young boy and girl holding glowing jars as Koo stares into the sky.

Tiny lights garden full of blinking stars fireflies The children’s characters are inspired by Muth’s 6-year-old twins, Molly and Leo, who also gave him the idea for a book of poetry. “I was listening to them explain to one another how things work,” he said. “It felt like poetry. It felt like haiku.”

Muth said the twins aren’t interested in poetry more than any other kind of writing. But neither was he as a child growing up in the 1960s in Cincinnati.

Muth’s mom was an art teacher and took him to many museums.

It’s not surprising how he spent his free time.

“I drew and drew and drew,” he said.

He developed a fascination with Asian art after seeing a painting called Ju (Big Tree). “I wanted to know more about that culture,” he said.

Muth said he isn’t using the new book to criticize the way haiku has been taught in schools.

He said five-seven-five is an easy way for kids to learn about poetry and begin to write it.

“But I wanted to go back to the inspiration of the poetry in the first place,” he said.

I

did it. I went to church with my 17-month-old. On the surface, maybe that doesn’t sound like a feat, but for me it was a moment of conquering a crippling fear that I’d be that mother with the child flinging yogurt at the back of someone’s head or ripping apart the pages of a hymnal.

The only alternative, in my mind, was to sit in the nursery during service. But how can you become spiritually fulfilled when you’re unable to hear the sermon in a room full of kids?

In that case, I could just schedule another session at the local Gymboree.

I haven’t been completely estranged, if attending church for my son’s Baptist christening and Catholic baptism (long story) count. There was also the time we went as a family, but our son was then a pacifierloving newborn and immobile.

Finally, after several months in absentia and a laundry list of excuses, I was determined to be present with our 17-monthold in tow.

It was a chaotic Sunday morning, but I arrived on time.

(Note: In mommy time, that means before the preaching started.) Xavier snacked on Cheerios, animatedly clapped while the children’s chorus sang, engaged with his pop-up book and then played with his

iPad Mini. I was prepared, or so I thought. The iPad was brand new, and neither my husband nor I had downloaded any apps and there was no Wi-Fi access inside the church. I cowered in my seat and braced for a meltdown. Xavier started swiping and banging on the iPad maniacally, but his attention was easily diverted when I offered him a church program and a pen.

Maybe my son doesn’t know he has an inside voice yet or that every child isn’t as social as he — he waved and smiled at a 4-year-old sitting next to us, and his friendly gesture was returned with a blank stare. But

no one gave me the side-eye as if to say, “Control your child.”

Mission accomplished. I was proud.

Finally, Xavier started to get sleepy. As I curled him into me, one arm around his back and the other across his legs, his pants felt damp. I was optimistically hoping he spilled his water. I checked his sippy cup to see if there was a leak.

Negative. Instead, his diaper was swollen to capacity. That never happens, but, of course, that day it did. There went my plans to go directly to the grocery store after church.

Because I had double-parked in the church’s reserved parking lot, I wouldn’t have time to change Xavier in the bathroom.

When the service ended, I woke up my son, grabbed the diaper bag, put his coat and hat on, and bolted out the church’s double doors. I raced down the steep steps and across the icy road to move my car.

I arrived in the parking lot where two stiletto-wearing women (Did I mention there was still snow on the ground?) stood at their car doors.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” I shouted, walking briskly and carrying a bundled-up toddler resembling Ralphie’s brother in A Christmas Story. After strapping Xavier into his car seat, we headed home with a sense of accomplishment and a need for dry clothes.

The playground set gets its own bras

By Rachel Felder

The New York Times

Not long ago, Stephanie Sorkin, an author of children’s books who lives in Roslyn, N.Y., was faced with an unexpected request from her daughter Lea, then age 5.

“She came home from camp and said, ‘Why am I the only one not wearing a bra?’ ” said Sorkin, 43. “I was like, ‘If you don’t call it a bra, I’ll go to the store and see what you’re talking about, but a 5-year-old doesn’t wear a bra.’ ” Actually, plenty of young girls are indeed wearing a bra-like garment: a truncated, half-camisole top with narrow straps and a bit of stretch.

“This is the new undershirt,” said Sandy Sherman, a buyer for several locations of Lester’s, a chain of stores in New York and New Jersey specializing in children’s wear. “It serves the same purpose.”

Mainstream retailers and well-established brands are also stocking bralettes for their young customers, including the Children’s Place, Gap

Kids, Zara and Hanes. Target, which carries 65 styles of girl’s bras, offers what it calls crop bras as part of its Xhilaration line.

Old Navy has sold cami bras with a peace-sign print. The Maidenform Girls line, aimed at ages 8 to 13, includes bralettes in bubble gum pink; at Macy’s Herald Square, Maidenform’s pieces are sold in a section of the children’s department, near similar items from Calvin Klein Girls.

Still, the idea of buying a children’s bra, even if it’s cupless and in a pink and yellow heart print, makes some uncomfortable.

“My problem with bralettes as opposed to other things that kids might want is what it does to a girl’s image,” said Lori Evans, a clinical assistant professor in the department of child and adolescent psychiatry at the New York University Langone Child Study Center. “Does it say to a 5-yearold that there’s something wrong with her, that she needs breasts or that there’s an expectation?”

Still, Evans said: “I wouldn’t be so horrified by it. If they start stuffing their little bralettes, then that’s a different thing.”

Race may be factor in fatal shooting State police to review case some compare with Fla. teen’s death

By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico State Police will investigate the shooting death of a black Iraq War veteran by his Albuquerque neighbor after complaints by civil rights groups, the agency announced Thursday.

In a statement, state police said it has agreed to conduct a thorough review into the March 2013 death of Jonathan Mitchell. Authorities said the 24-year-old was fatally shot by neighbor Donnie Pearson during what Pearson described as an exchange of gunfire.

But Albuquerque chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference have disputed Pearson’s version and said he instigated the confrontation.

They also suggested race may have been a factor and have compared it to the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

George Zimmerman told police he shot Martin only after the African American teenager physically attacked him; Martin’s family and supporters say Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, marked Martin as a potential criminal because he was black.

Mitchell’s family has long claimed that Pearson drove up to Mitchell’s garage and shot him in his front yard.

“There are a lot of similarities with Trayvon Martin,” Albuquerque NAACP President Harold Bailey said. “Pearson shouldn’t have been there in the first place, like Zimmerman.”

Video taken from an Albuquerque police helicopter showed Mitchell firing first in an exchange of gunfire with Pearson but also revealed that Pearson’s SUV drove up to Mitchell’s garage.

Albuquerque police later said investigators didn’t have probable cause to charge Pearson.

Calls to a phone number listed for Pearson were not answered.

According to state police, the Albuquerque Police Department, the 2nd Judicial District Attorney’s Office and Mitchell’s family asked for the review.

The review will be conducted by the Investigations Bureau of the New Mexico State Police, according to officials.

State police said Albuquerque police has provided the state with a copy of their investigation.

Bailey said he was pleased about the review. “We just want a fair and objective review of all the facts,” he said.

When authorities approached the agent’s apartment, they heard gunfire.

A short time later, when investigators went into the apartment, they found him dead and rescued the other girl.

A Border Patrol official told The Associated Press that the agent was on duty when he encountered the females and that his shift had ended by the time authorities showed up at his house and he shot himself.

Karol Escalante, a spokeswoman for the Honduran embassy in Washington, D.C., said the three Hondurans are recovering at a hospital in McAllen. She would not elaborate on their injuries.

R. Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said in a statement Friday that such acts are not representative Border Patrol agents. He added that the agency is working to make sure the victims receive proper care. The agency is collaborating with the FBI, which is conducting the investigation.

“I am deeply sorry that this incident occurred and am committed to doing

everything in my power to prevent incidents like this from occurring again,” he said.

The Border Patrol agent who participated in the search said Manzanares was assigned to Anzalduas Park. The FBI said it is awaiting an autopsy report on Manzanares, who the Border Patrol said had been with the agency since 2008.

The number of apprehensions by the Border Patrol —a figure commonly used to gauge the ebb and flow of illegal border crossers — rose by 16 percent last year to 420,789 undocumented immigrants detained. More than half of those arrests were made in Texas.

Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher said last October that much of the increase was due to a rise in the number of people from Central American trying to enter the U.S. in South Texas.

While apprehensions of Mexican nationals remained fairly steady, arrests of immigrants from other countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, rose 55 percent. Limited economic opportunities and widespread gang and drug cartel violence in Central America have driven tens of thousands north along a dangerous route through Mexico.

FBI balks at pot shop checks Feds aim to keep criminals out of industry but won’t aid Washington state

Jury gets 3 chances to mull death for Holmes

By Dan Elliott

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The FBI is refusing to run nationwide background checks on people applying to run legal marijuana businesses in Washington state, even though it has conducted similar checks in Colorado — a discrepancy that illustrates the quandary the Justice Department faces as it allows the states to experiment with regulating a drug that’s long been illegal under federal law.

Washington state has been asking for nearly a year if the FBI would conduct background checks on its applicants, to no avail. The bureau’s refusal raises the possibility that people with troublesome criminal histories could wind up with pot licenses in the state — undermining the department’s own priorities in ensuring that states keep a tight rein on the nascent industry.

It’s a strange jam for the feds, who announced last summer that they wouldn’t sue to prevent Washington and Colorado from regulating marijuana after 75 years of prohibition.

The Obama administration has said it wants the states to make sure pot revenue doesn’t go to organized crime and that state marijuana industries don’t become a cover for the trafficking of other illegal drugs. At the same time, it might be tough for the FBI to stomach conducting such background checks — essentially helping the states violate federal law.

The Justice Department declined to explain why it isn’t conducting the checks in Washington when it has in Colorado.

Stephen Fischer, a spokesman for the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, referred an Associated Press inquiry to Justice Department headquarters, which would only issue a written statement.

“To ensure a consistent national

DENVER — Jurors in the Colorado theater shooting case will deliberate up to three separate times on whether defendant James Holmes should be executed if they convict him of murder, the judge said Friday.

In a written ruling, Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. said he plans to James Holmes have the jury work through the requirements of Colorado’s death penalty law step by step before moving to the final question of whether Holmes should live or die. The process could end at any step with a sentence of life in prison without parole unless prosecutors convince jurors the requirements for execution have been met.

Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack on a suburban Denver movie theater. The trial is scheduled to start in October.

Under Colorado’s death penalty law, the same jury that decides whether a defendant is guilty of murder decides whether the penalty should be execution or life in prison. The jury determines the penalty after hearing both sides lay out their arguments in steps.

approach, the department has been reviewing its background check policies, and we hope to have guidance for states in the near term,” it said in its entirety.

In Washington, three people so far have received licenses to grow marijuana — without going through a national background check, even though the state Liquor Control Board’s rules require that that they do so before a license is issued.

“The federal government has not stated why it has not yet agreed to conduct national background checks on our behalf,” Washington state Liquor Control Board spokesman Brian Smith said in an email. “However, the Liquor Control Board is ready to deliver fingerprints as soon as DOJ is ready.”

In the meantime, officials are relying on background checks by the Washington State Patrol to catch any in-state arrests or convictions. Applicants must have lived in Washington state for three months before applying, and many are longtime Washington residents whose criminal history would likely turn up on a State Patrol check. But

others specifically moved to the state in hopes of joining the new industry.

“Both Washington state and Washington, D.C., have been unequivocal that they want organized crime out of the marijuana business,” said Alison Holcomb, the Seattle lawyer who authored the legal pot law. “Requiring, and ensuring, nationwide background checks on Washington state licensees is a no-brainer.”

The FBI has run nationwide background checks since 2010 on applicants who sought to be involved in medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado, Daria Serna, a spokeswoman for that state’s Department of Revenue, said in an email.

“Doing background checks and making sure the criminal element has been locked out of the program has been enormously important in Colorado,” said Michael Elliott, director of the Medical Marijuana Industry Group. “The integrity of Washington’s program may be put into jeopardy because the FBI is not willing to ensure that drug cartels and criminals are being locked out, and that is absurd.”

Cursive handwriting still important

M

y friend, Louise, is escaping the cold of Winnipeg, Canada, and enjoying a visit in Phoenix with her grandchildren. She confided to me that she asked her two grandchildren, ages 9 and 7, why they never answered her letters. They said, “We can’t read cursive.”

She was quite concerned and complained to her daughter, who said, “Oh Mom, they’ll never use cursive except to sign their names.”

Unfortunately, there Irene Levitt are many side effects to this kind of thinking. Not only can this generation not read or write cursive, they can no longer even sign their names. They write everything, including their own names, in block letters.

For the past 20 years, schools have been continually de-emphasizing the teaching of cursive writing. In today’s high-tech world of smartphones, tablets and computers, many people feel that cursive writing is no longer needed. If

this continues, in addition to not being able to read their grandparents’ writing and many historical documents, writing thank-you notes, and signing contracts and wills, our children will be robbed of their ability to use a powerful tool of communication.

A recent College Board study showed that students who write their SAT essays in cursive score higher than peers who print them. Cursive writing is a potent tool, and we are taking this skill away from our kids. Elementary-age students who wrote compositions by hand rather than by keyboarding wrote faster, wrote longer pieces and expressed more ideas.

Will cursive “illiteracy” harm our children in the job market? Perhaps it already has.

The word signature is derived from two words, sign and nature. When you sign your name, you are disclosing a little of who you are. You are telegraphing how you think of yourself. Consequently, handwriting is essentially body language.

only to print, it is possible we will subtly change even the personality of our children.

If all writing is done solely on computer, they might gradually lose the ability to express a unique part of their identity. They’ll miss the subtleties in the handwriting that indicate feelings and emotions. Much is lost in the translation.

Cursive is an efficient way to communicate or take notes. Not everyone has easy access to computers or iPads. Pens and pencils are still the most affordable, dependable and practical way for people of all demographics to communicate.

Writing class notes by hand improves retention.

What can you do to keep this tragedy from happening? You can contact your local school committee and encourage them to continue providing instruction in cursive writing.

C

alifornia was the first state to crack down on tailpipe emissions and the first to establish a comprehensive in-state greenhouse gas program.

Now it is positioning itself as a national leader on animal rights — if, that is, its move to give hens more cage room survives a legal attack from other states. Unfortunately, California’s legal case isn’t as strong as its moral one.

Americans rely on cheap chicken and eggs, the products of supersizing livestock operations while squeezing costs. Farmers pack animals into tiny, crowded and dank pens, leaving hens with scarce room to extend their wings, let alone move around. There is a balance to be struck between keeping food prices low and mitigating the miserable conditions that humans impose on livestock.

California’s voters tried in 2008 to push their state closer to achieving that balance, opting to require egg growers to provide hens at least enough room to extend their wings and turn around. The rule takes effect next year.

But there was a problem: The voters didn’t appreciate that other states weren’t going to follow along, and California imports about 4 billion eggs a year. States such as Missouri and Iowa, which between them account for nearly half of California’s egg imports, haven’t imposed similar cage-size requirements, so they might enjoy a cost advantage over California producers. To right that imbalance, the Golden State’s leaders approved a law requiring all eggs sold in California to come from farms that comply with its cage-size standards, no matter where they are located.

Missouri sued last month, arguing that the Constitution gives Congress the exclusive right to regulate commerce that crosses state lines. Last week, five other states, including Iowa, joined in. Though California’s law treats all businesses — in-state and otherwise — the same, the state has to show that its effects on commerce outside the state are small relative to the local concerns it addresses. That is, rightly, a tough standard: Without strong and exclusive federal regulation of interstate commerce, states could enact all sorts of nice-sounding laws in an effort to benefit local producers.

Congress could and should step in to establish more humane farming rules, or at least to grandfather California’s law. Federal lawmakers did something similar for the state’s tailpipe emissions program when they passed the Clean Air Act. Absent federal action, and if the courts rule against the state, California could at least demand labels to distinguish eggs produced according to state standards from those that aren’t. That would give Californians an opportunity to vote at the store as well as the ballot box.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 15, 1914: Filadelfo Baca, assistant superintendent of public instruction, is back from Las Vegas, where he spent a few days on private business. He also visited the school of precinct 25, where his daughter is teaching. Mr. Baca says that 20 years ago his father made the benches which the pupils of that school used until a few days ago, when they were given new, up-to-date desks, which have pleased them so much that they prefer to study rather than take the customary recess.

March 15, 1964: Public school teachers engaging in strikes of work stoppages could be dismissed under a new regulation adopted by the State Board of Education.

St. Mike’s rolls over Wildcats

LAS VEGAS, Nev., — Dwayne Polee II had 18 points and six rebounds to SDSU 59 lead No. 8 San UNLV 51 Diego State to a 59-51 win over UNLV in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament Friday night.

In Friday’s other semifinal game, New Mexico beat Boise State 70-67. The Lobos will play the Aztecs at 4 p.m. Saturday.

San Diego State used a 19-9 run out of the break to open up a 48-33 lead with 8:13 left in the game. The Aztecs scored 12 points off of turnovers and outrebounded UNLV 34-29.

The feisty Runnin’ Rebels kept

it close in the first half, and made a last-minute rally, but it wasn’t enough against the quicker and defensively sound top-seeded Aztecs. Trailing 50-37 with just under six minutes left in the game, UNLV’s Bryce Dejean-Jones scored seven points during a 14-6 run to cut the lead to five with 48.9 seconds left in the game.

But Polee made 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch to seal

the Aztecs’ win.

Xavier Thames added 17 and six assists for the Aztecs (29-3), who will face New Mexico or Boise State in the title game on Saturday.

And while San Diego State is assuredly headed to the NCAA tournament, the loss dealt a severe blow to UNLV’s chances of making the Big Dance for a fifth consecutive year.

For third straight year, Horsemen will battle Hope Christian for title

By James Barron

The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — Chris Brattain winced at the mere mention of “the putback.”

The Lovington head coach knew he had the 6-foot-8 post, and the Wildcats should be able to do something as simple as a box-out. But when the opponents are the St. Michael’s Horsemen and there’s something important on the line — like a third straight appearance in the Class AAA state boys basketball championship — things don’t always happen as they should.

So when Horsemen senior Isaiah Dominguez came up with the offensive rebound on Marcus PincheiraSandoval’s missed free throw with 2:21 left in a AAA semifinal in The Pit on Friday morning, all it did was leave Brattain breathless with envy.

After a lackluster first half, Santa Fe High opened the second half with a five-second violation. That was offset by an 8-4 run by the Demonettes that cut the Los Lunas lead down to 22-17 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Santa Fe High opened the final quarter on a 9-4 run and knotted the game at 26-all with just under four minutes remaining.

With just over three minutes left, Santa Fe High junior wing Kayla Herrera hit a 3-pointer to give the Demonettes a 29-26 lead. Herrera had already missed four 3-pointers, so she was a little hesitant on this one.

On Friday, Justin stood at his father’s shoulder as the two gazed down the ramp before the game.

“Just all kinds of memories,” Bustos said. “She was here my last one when Justin was a senior at Robertson in 2012. I can picture her up and down. I can picture her on the ramp. I can picture her on the sidelines.

Telling me to shut the heck up sometimes with the officials.”

As Friday’s game slipped away and the Dons’ season came to a close, Bustos was asked how he would begin to process the emotional season that began with his wife’s passing. He fell silent for nearly a full minute, then shared a handful of stories about his wife, his kids and the team he got to coach this season.

Coaching wasn’t just his calling; it was hers. It was the family’s.

Exactly what happens mov-

ing forward is anyone’s guess, but it’s a fair assumption that Bustos will do what he and his wife did for so many years together. He’ll persevere, he’ll adapt, he’ll keep on fighting.

Once known as a fiery, emotional coach with a short fuse and hot temper, he’s now much more reserved and soft spoken.

He calculates each step with a quiet reflection, the kind one might expect from someone who has experienced what he and his kids have endured.

Looking ahead, he sees West Las Vegas’ boys basketball program becoming the respected and feared club it used to be his first go-round with the school — back when he and Mary were so inseparable on the sidelines and off.

When that happens, perhaps his next walk down the ramp will come with a sense of purpose that Mary would have enjoyed. Or demanded.

No. 5 Idaho tops No. 1 Utah Valley St. The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Stephen Madison scored 25 points to help No. 5 seed Idaho knock off top-seeded Utah Valley State 74-69 Friday night and advance to the Western Athletic Conference Champi-

onship.

The Vandals (16-17) will play in the WAC finals Saturday.

Mike Scott had 14 points and Connor Hill added 12.

Utah Valley (20-11) was led by Mitch Bruneel with 18 points. Holton Hunsaker had 14

of his 15 points in the first half.

Idaho used an 8-0 run in the second half to push their lead to 10, but the Wolverines climbed back within one with 4:04 remaining. The Vandals responded as Madison hit a jumper, Hill drained a 3-pointer

and Sekou Wiggs added a layup to make it 70-64.

Keawe Enos hit a 3-pointer and Hunsaker followed with a steal, but Bruneel couldn’t connect on a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left. Madison hit two free throws to ice it.

season and an imperfect schedule. Last year it really wasn’t that big a deal to get the nod.

Gonzaga had it and the Zags didn’t make it out of the second weekend, losing to ninthseeded Wichita State on the Shockers’ run to the Final Four.

How about if the committee puts West Coast Conference champion Gonzaga as a No. 8 or 9 seed in the same region as Wichita State and let them meet again in the third round.

Looking low: Don’t be so quick to dismiss the teams toward the bottom of the seed list. Although a No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 (Imagine being the first coach to lose that matchup?), No. 15 seeds have ruined some postseasons for power teams, including two last season by Florida Gulf Coast, which dunked its way into the spotlight.

Defending the crown: Louisville got to cut the nets down last season in Atlanta, and the Cardinals could have a shot at going all the way again.

The odds are against Louisville, however, as only Florida in 2007 and Duke in 1992 have repeated as champion since the end of UCLA’s run of dominance in the 1960s and 1970s.

Russ Smith and Luke Hancock are back from Louisville’s title team and the Cardinals entered the week ranked No. 5.

Smart pick: There always seems to be a team on either the 8 or 9 seed line that makes a run to the Final Four, and Wichita State was that team last year. VCU was an 11 seed when it went to the Final Four in 2011. This year, it could be Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had a seven-game losing streak during the season, three of those the games the ones missed by guard Marcus Smart for pushing a fan at Texas Tech.

Since his return, the Cowboys have been a different team and Smart has played the way people expected the preseason All-America to. Oklahoma State lost four overtime games this season, including 77-70 loss to Kansas in the Big 12 semifinals.

Limping in: Syracuse started the season 25-0, then lost four of five. Flying below the radar — well, not really since Billikens can’t fly — is Saint Louis. It followed a schoolrecord 19-game winning streak with four losses in five games, including Friday’s stunner to St. Bonaventure in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals.

The NavyWhat Lisa Villareal has is much more bound guard is the first Division-I than short-term success. What the product Volcano Vista has produced, Española Valley graduate and former and she represents what the program head coach of the Lady Sundevils and can produce.

(27-3) for the AAAAA state title at

St. Mike’s: Hit 15 of 21 free throws Continued from Page B-1 Dominguez’s putback following the miss gave St. Michael’s a 46-37 lead that eventually turned into a 54-44 win, and Brattain had to relive that moment in a postgame interview.

“The free-throw thing, the little things like that, those are things you got to take care of in a game of this magnitude, for sure,” Brattain said.

Or, as Dominguez succinctly put it, “Whatever it took. I just wanted to get to the state championship.”

Then again, those things always seem to happen for the second-seeded Horsemen, who will play No. 1 Albuquerque Hope Christian for the third straight year for the AAA title at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Those good things are born out of good coaching, and St. Michael’s head coach Ron Geyer, who didn’t deviate from his philosophy.

Even though Lovington’s Stephen Lennox struck an imposing figure at 6-foot-8, St. Michael’s (24-7) went right to the basket. Usually, that meant the ball went to 6-foot-4 Justin Flores or the 6-foot-3 Dominguez. The pair combined for 23 points and 17 rebounds to offset the 15 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots Lennox posted for the Wildcats.

“That’s the way I’ve always done it,” Geyer said. “Even when I had little posts.

Try to make the refs make a decision.”

While the plan was to try to get Lennox in foul trouble, it had the side effect of drawing fouls on the Wildcats’ two key supporting players in Jared Wilks and Quantel Nash. Wilks had three fouls in the first half and picked up his fourth 2 minutes into the third quarter. Nash had eight points — all in the second half — and fouled out late in the game.

“It’s hard to play in foul trouble,” Brattain said. “Once you get in that situation with three starters with three or four fouls and they had one with three, it’s hard.”

St. Michael’s took advantage of the Wildcats’ foul troubles and hit 15 of 21 free throws, including 6 of 8 in the final 1:08.

The key moments came in the third quarter, as the Horsemen hit three 3-pointers and had a three-point play that gave them a 35-25 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Chris Lovato, who had struggled from the perimeter, hit consecutive 3s to open the quarter for a 27-20 lead.

“Those were huge,” Geyer said. “He had made 25 3s coming into the state tournament and he’s struggled with his shot. Those shots were huge for us.”

When Lovington rallied with a Lennox layup and a 3 from Nash, St. Michael’s responded with two Flores free throws, a Pincheira-Sandoval 3 and a three-point play from Dominguez for the 10-point margin.

The margin grew to 42-30 on a Flores putback, but Lovington (15-15) made one more charge — a 7-0 spurt that was capped Joanus Rueda for 42-37. Wesley Vaughan followed with a breakaway layup, which set up Dominguez for his crushing putback.

While Geyer talked about enjoying the win, Brattain was trying to figure out how to break the stranglehold the Horsemen and the Huskies have had on the AAA scene for the past eight years. Only once has neither of those two schools not played in the final game of the season (2008, when it was Pojoaque Valley vs. West Las Vegas).

Brattain had an unlikely fan in that endeavor — Hope Christian head coach Jim Murphy.

“He was telling me [on Thursday], ‘You need to beat those guys, so we can play someone different,’ ” Brattain said.

Of course, Murphy didn’t mention his team in that equation.

What Fenske becomes, though, is a role model for the younger players coming up — for Deezha Battle, a sophomore who is the second-leading scorer on the team at 11.1 points per game. For Kavionnia Brown, a freshman starter who earned the spot in part due to a leg injury to Bianca Perez in December.

She was the defensive cog to the Lady Hawks 52-45 upset of No. 1 and previously undefeated Clovis in the AAAAA semifinal on Thursday, as she frustrated Clovis’ Danni Williams into an 8-for-20 night shooting while she scored 18 points.

They are the future of the program, and Fenske sees a great one at that.

“I think Volcano Vista is still going to be a great team after this year,” Fenske said. “I think they are going to be able to win even more. I just hope that we win it tomorrow and end my senior year on

a really, really good note.”

It would be another note hit by Villareal and her assistant coach Ross Villareal, her brother. When they took over the infant program at the new school in 2007, the Villareals hadn’t had a chance to put their stamp on a program.

They spent two years at Capital, advancing to the AAAA quarterfinals both years and winning a share of the District 2AAAA title in 2007. She got two years at Española Valley from 2000-2002, where the Lady Sundevils made it to the state tournament her second season.

What she hadn’t established was her ability to create a program.

“It’s been something that we always talked about,” Lisa Villareal said. “We got our program and run it the way we felt we needed to run a program.

We’ve been given the opportunity and

the reins to run it as we see fit. We’ve worked really hard. We changed our game plans and we worked really hard to improve as coaches.”

While the two siblings have come far in their development, they haven’t lost that desire to keep growing as coaches.

If anything, the experiences of developing a program has emboldened them to be more creative.

“My coaching staff and I continually go to coaching clinics,” Villareal said.

“We may listen to the same speakers over and over again, but they might throw that one thing out at you that just sticks. I can go to to a three-day clinic, but that one statement they make, or that one drill they show can be a big difference in how you, as a coach, can change.”

And what’s changed is that Volcano Vista has become a program — and among the state’s best right now.

SFHS: Demonettes had 17-9 run in 4th quarter Continued from Page B-1 shoot it,’ ” Herrera said. “I did, and when I felt it coming off my wrist, I knew it was good.”

It was the finishing touch of a long day for Herrera. She woke up at 5 a.m. on Friday and started going over the game plan. When the Demonettes arrived at The Pit to watch the earlier games, she knew she wanted to be the one holding up the blue trophy at the end of the night.

“I want that to be us,” Herrera said about the winning teams. “I don’t want to be crying and leave here without a win.”

The Demonettes almost did leave without a win, but a 17-9 run in the fourth quarter guaranteed them a state championship.

It was a goal that the team set for itself since last March, when they lost in the semifinals. The Demonettes knew they had the team to win it all this year, but the problem was, so did everyone else.

Throughout the season, people would approach the players and tell them that they could win a cham-

pionship. Despite all the praise, the Demonettes knew they still had to put in the work “We stayed humble this whole year,” junior post Sabrina LozadaCabbage said. “We knew we could take it, but we knew we had to work to get there. It’s just been a great journey.”

Chavez won a state championship with Grants as an assistant coach in 1987. He wanted to experience that feeling again, but more importantly, he wanted his players to experience it.

This is the first state championship for Santa Fe High since 1988, well before any of the players on the roster were born. Herrera is friends with some of those players from the old championship team, and they gave her encouragement during the tournament.

Now she is a part of the team that brought another blue trophy to Santa Fe High after the old one had collected some dust.

“It’s an honor to bring this back to Santa Fe after 26 years,” Herrera said.

“Who knows if Santa Fe is ever going to do this again?”

was called for a blocking foul just seconds later.

She picked up her second foul later in the first quarter and was guilty of two turnovers. She got to halftime with just two points on 1 of 7 shooting, two fouls and zero trips to the free throw line.

A good sign was Zeller’s stat line. Although she made both of her shots in the first half, the fact remained that she only attempted two shots. She finished the night with only eight tries, a season low.

In the fourth quarter, things swayed in LozadaCabbage’s favor, and with it a state title for Santa Fe High. She had four points, hitting the gametying basket with a 17-foot jumper from the top of the key, then giving the Demonettes the lead for good with another bucket less than 20 seconds later. She later added a blocked shot of Zeller.

“Well, we talked about the Super Bowl this year,” said Elmer Chavez, Santa Fe High’s head coach.

“You guys saw that the best defense overcame the best offense.”

And in this case, the best defense revolved around Lozada-Cabbage’s play in the paint.

For a telltale few moments in the The one thing they had no answer second half, he ran a zone defense for was the Huskies’ overwhelming and essentially dared the Huskies to depth as the Huskies continuously shoot over it.

By Will Webber The New Mexican

They did so with impressive results.

Dedrick Milford hit a 3-pointer 90 seconds into the second half, followed a minute later by another trey from the corner by Brandon Zabala.

Barely three minutes into the third quarter, the Dons’ four-point deficit mushroomed to 12. By the end of the quarter, it was 23.

“Once we hit a couple outside shots, then we started playing a little bit better basketball,” said Hope head coach Jim Murphy.

A little? The Huskies held West Las Vegas to 19 percent shooting (5 of 26) in the second half after allowing the Dons to convert 57 percent of their tries in the first two quarters. They outscored them 26-9 in the third quarter and led by as many as 32 in the fourth. They attempted 22 of their 67 shots in the third quarter, pushing the tempo further and faster than West Las Vegas was ready for.

Dons guard D.J. Bustos said overcoming Hope’s rotation of fresh legs is a lot harder than it seems.

“Well, you just have to go,” he said.

“You have to work your butt off. Keep

going and fight it, fight the pain. If you have pain, fight it and keep going until coach gets you a break.”

Bustos and Andres Gallegos each had 17 points for the Dons, while Najar had 14. The rest of the roster combined for six points and just 10 of the team’s 33 rebounds.

Zabala had a game-high 24 points for Hope. As if to demonstrate their depth, the Huskies didn’t have another player crack double digits, despite scoring 83 points.

Murphy joked that his big halftime adjustment was doing a lot of yelling. In truth, it had more to do with staying the course, that eventually his depth and apparently endless supply of talent would win out.

One of these days, Bustos said someone will figure out Hope’s weakness. If there’s anyone in AAA who can do it right now, he suggested that team might be St. Michael’s.

“We’re talking about up-tempo, they actually like to slow things down a little and that might be the way to go,” he said. “I think it’s going to be tough to beat them either way you go.”

Newsmakers Chris Brown arrested on warrant without bail

Chris Brown

LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown was arrested Friday and will be held without bail on a warrant issued by probation officials in the latest legal entanglement for the R&B singer who has struggled to put his 2009 attack on Rihanna behind him.

The warrant was issued by officials overseeing the singer’s sentence for the Rihanna case. Sheriff’s officials said Brown was cooperative when he was arrested at a Malibu treatment facility where he had been staying.

Brown had been ordered to remain in rehab for treatment related to anger issues.

No other details on why the warrant was issued were released, and there was no immediate word on when the singer would appear in court.

Brown’s probation for the Rihanna assault had been scheduled to end this year, but a judge revoked it last year after Brown was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge in Washington, D.C. That case is pending.

In addition to getting treatment, the singer remained under strict orders to complete 1,000 of community labor. A probation report dated Feb. 26 stated that Brown had completed 250 hours.

By Hillel Italie and John Rogers

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES e was the institutional memory for the movies at The Associated Press and a passage for the world to a Hollywood both longed for and long gone.

Bob Thomas, who died Friday at his Encino, Calif., home at age 92, started reporting when Clark Gable was a middle-aged king, Bette Davis was in her big-eyed prime, and Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall were emerging stars.

“Independent” movies were a rarity during the studiocontrolled era, and celebrity gossip was dispensed by rival columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons rather than Internet sites.

Younger reporters knew the names and the credits, but Thomas knew the people and lived the history. He could tell you what Jack Lemmon liked to drink at parties or recall Marilyn Monroe’s farcical inability to show up on time, or speak fondly of his times with “Greg” Peck.

Around the country, and beyond, at least one generation of movie fans learned the latest about Hollywood by reading Bob Thomas. He interviewed most of the great screen actors of the 20th century, among them Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Jack Nicholson, Julia Roberts and Tom Cruise.

When a story ran, Thomas often heard directly from the stars. Soon after her marriage to actor John Agar in 1945, Shirley Temple wrote: “John and I want you to know that we are very grateful to you for the manner in which you handled the story on our wedding.”

A postcard from Rita Hayworth passed on regards from Orson Welles. Bing Crosby shared warm thoughts about Bob Hope. Groucho Marx noted that Thomas’ interview with him had been syndicated in 400 newspapers. “But as faithful as I am to you in my fashion, I read them all,” Groucho wrote to him.

Thomas worked well into his 80s, covering a record 66 consecutive Academy Awards shows, beginning in 1944. During his nearly seven decades writing for the AP, Thomas reviewed hundreds of films and television shows and wrote numerous retrospective pieces on Hollywood and how it had changed.

Thomas also was the author of nearly three dozen books, including biographies of Walt Disney, Brando and Joan Crawford, and an acclaimed portrait of studio mogul Harry Cohn, King Cohn. He wrote, produced and appeared in a handful of television specials on the Academy Awards and was a guest on numerous TV news and talk shows, including The Tonight Show, Good Morning America and Nightline. His biographies of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes and the comedy team

H

of Abbott and Costello were made into television movies.

He is listed twice in Guinness World Records: for most consecutive Academy Awards shows covered by an entertainment reporter and for longest career as an entertainment reporter (1944-2010).

In 1988, Thomas became the first reporter-author awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and on Friday, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce placed a wreath of flowers on the star, located in front of the Dolby Theatre, home of the Oscars.

One of Thomas’ biggest stories had nothing to do with entertainment.

Helping out during the 1968 presidential election, Thomas had been assigned to cover Sen. Robert F. Kennedy on the night the New York Democrat won the California primary.

Minutes after declaring victory, Kennedy was shot to death in the kitchen of Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel.

“I was waiting in the press room for Kennedy to arrive when I heard what sounded like the popping of balloons in the hotel kitchen,” Thomas would recount years later.

“I rushed into the kitchen where men were screaming and women sobbing,” he recalled. “I jumped onto a pile of kitchen trays and saw Kennedy lying on the floor, his head bloody.” He ran to a phone and delivered the bulletin to The Associated Press.

As the son of a newspaper editor turned Hollywood press agent, Robert Joseph Thomas seemed destined to become an entertainment writer from his earliest days.

In junior high school and high school he wrote entertainment columns for the campus newspaper, and in college his favorite reading was the industry trade paper Daily Variety.

But when he joined the AP in Los Angeles in 1943, it was with aspirations of becoming a war correspondent. Instead, the wire service named him its Fresno, Calif., correspondent, a job he gave up after little more than a year.

Soon he would become a ubiquitous presence in Hollywood, attending awards shows, wandering studio back lots or going from table to table at the Polo Lounge, Musso and Frank and other favored Hollywood hangouts of the day. The gentlemanly, soft-spoken reporter with the wry sense of humor enjoyed access to the stars that modern journalists rarely attain, whether visiting with Nicholson at his home or chatting on the set with Tracy and Hepburn.

His encyclopedic knowledge of the industry was well appreciated by his colleagues.

A former AP editor, Jim Lagier, would recall that Thomas had a filing system that rivaled that of any news bureau.

Through the years, Thomas’ enthusiasm for his profession never waned. “I get to interview some of the most beautiful people in the world,” he said in 1999. “It’s what I always wanted to do, and I just can’t stop doing it.”

Dear Annie: Our children are now adults, and every year we give them a check for their IRA’s, as well as something personal.

Last year, I decided to make them a cookbook and write down my best recipes. I printed them, placed them in plastic sleeves and put them in a binder. Then I put all of my recipes on flash drives and gave them to my kids. They really enjoyed having the recipes they enjoyed as children.

If you don’t know what to get your parents or grandparents, I highly recommend the gift of your time. If Grandma makes the best piecrust in town, ask her to show you. Take your parents out to lunch. You may also want to check to be sure that your parents have everything they need to be comfortable. Older people may have trouble opening cans, so a good can opener would make their lives easier. Winters are cold, and it is expensive to heat the house, so warm slippers, socks, etc., make a difference. — S.S. Dear S.S.: Thank you for your thoughtful and creative gift ideas.

People often assume a gift means money, but it’s the less expensive things that can mean the most.

Dear Annie: “Hurt and Exasperated” said her husband refused to help around the house. About 30 years ago, we were expecting friends over, and it was my husband’s turn to do the dishes, but as usual, he conveniently “forgot.”

I wasn’t in the mood to do his job, but I couldn’t leave those dirty dishes out for my friends to see.

So I put them in the oven. We lived in a tiny house without airconditioning. Did I mention it was a hot summer?

Several days later, when he was looking for a clean dish, I told him to check the oven. Inside there was a pile of nasty crusted plates with mold growing on them. He never “forgot” again. — A.

Dear Annie: You printed an essay about a year ago regarding the loss of a pet from the pet’s point of view. I’m sorry, but that’s all I remember. I recall the way that poem made me feel. I hope you can help me dig it up. — A.S. Dear A.S.: That poem is one of our most requested, and we are pleased to reprint it.

A Dog’s Plea

By Beth Norman Harris Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food that I might stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And, my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun.

Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.
